The huge mansion suddenly turned into a dead land, which caused a sensation in Yecheng. Even the ministers of the imperial court also talked about it.
The murder happened in the night, and the people around didn't even hear anything. Only when they got up the next morning and smelled the pungent smell of blood, could anyone follow the smell and see the tragedy.
A headless corpse fell on the ground in disorder, and the blood and water coagulated into a small ditch. Several wild dogs barked around and dared not to approach.
A scream woke up the neighbors around. The location of the prefectures' mansion was all the dignitaries in the imperial court. This discovery was also reported to Tianting for the first time.
But the king's attitude is really intriguing. Although he ordered people to investigate the case, he was very angry, but there was no pension measures. Even when people asked about the whereabouts of the old prince, the king of Southern Jin kept silent.
However, the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty granted the prefectures and princes' residence, and no one was allowed to go in and out. In the dead of night, people in the neighborhood could always hear some inexplicable voices. Gradually, rumors spread that the princes' mansion was a family that had never died in peace and their souls were still in the world, and they would not give birth.
After the news spread, many people spontaneously swept out of the prefectures' mansion. Officials who had old relations with the old princes also invited eminent monks to pass away, hoping to make this place return to normal as soon as possible.
In one day, a Huai'an palace was burned down in the palace, and all the princes' houses outside the palace were destroyed. Some people doubted whether there was any connection between the two years, but they could not think of it.
Tang Yue was stunned when he heard the news. "Is this the king's brush?"
Prince Zhao nodded. In Yecheng, who else could kill hundreds of people without disturbing anyone?
Although the old prince's offspring were withered, there were a lot of offshoots. He chose a few with good qualifications and wanted to cultivate them by himself. In the future, they would become the right arm of the prefectures' mansion. These people lived with their families, so there were more people in the prefecture and Prince's mansion.
"It's terrible. Did the old princess commit adultery with Madame Ying?" Tang Yue couldn't think of it. As a woman favored by the king, how could she have a fancy to an old man outside the palace?
If Mrs. Ying is having an affair with a prince, he still thinks it's normal.
But if you think of Mrs. Ying's age, there must be no prince who does not have a long eye.
"It's not known whether there is a treacherous affair, but the secret road does exist. Even if there is no adultery, there is also a hidden relationship between them."
Yes, there are three exits in a secret Road, but there is one in the bedroom of these two people. If you don't contact anyone, it's no wonder that the king of Southern Jin is angry.
"I'm afraid it won't be completed in one or two years to build such a secret road. How did the old princess do it?" If he is really so capable, does it mean that he is against the Southern Jin Dynasty? "
Prince Zhao handed him the secret report newly obtained by the dark guard. "According to the investigation, the secret roads under the prefectures' mansion were not dug through this year. I'm afraid it has a history of hundreds of years. Only some places have been changed and some new places have been dug through. Only then can they have the scale of today."
"The prince's mansion was bestowed by his father. It must be that the old prince found the underground secret road by accident, and secretly rebuilt it before the incident happened today."
Tang Yue still had a lot of puzzles, such as how Prince Zhao discovered the secret way, how he reported to the king, and what was the relationship between the old prince and Mrs. Ying.
"It's not good to be so curious." Prince Zhao pinched Tang Yue's cheek and joked, but he could tell him that Zhao would say.
In fact, it was an unexpected surprise to find the secret road. The dark guard went after a suspicious person and ran out of the city. He accidentally entered the exit outside the city.
Then he went down the secret road to the underground of the prefecture Prince's mansion. It was amazing. The dark guard was not busy arresting people, so he ran back to report to Prince Zhao.
Naturally, Prince Zhao did not expect that there was a third exit in that secret road. He sent several confidants to walk along the secret road several times and drew a detailed map. When he found out the location of the third exit, he was not good.
His first reaction was the same as that of the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty. The secret road must have been dug by the old princess for a tryst with Mrs. Ying. Even if he later knew that the secret path was not all from the old princess, he still doubted them.
As for the treasures and weapons in the secret Road, the old princess must also be the beneficiary. However, he did not move this thing home. Instead, he continued to stay in the secret road. He thought this place was more secure. How could he know that it would leak out one day.
As soon as the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty heard that there was a secret road under the prefectural palace, he would send someone to check whether he believed it or not. When he found out the three exits, it would be strange if he didn't want to be crooked.
This was the burning of Huai'an palace and the blood washing of prefectures and princes' houses.
The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty didn't feel that he had done something wrong. He also sent people to check the relationship between the two men. Although the results did not clearly indicate that the two men had an affair, they were almost the same.
It turned out that before the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty ascended the throne, Madame Ying met the old princess in the prince's mansion at that time. After meeting several times, they had a good feeling for each other. However, the king of Southern Jin did not dare to go beyond the thunder pool.It was not until the old princess discovered the secret road that he took advantage of it. He went into Madame Ying's bedroom from the secret road. He made Mrs. Ying strong in the dark and windy night. He threatened the other party not to let this matter out. But Mrs. Ying had a good feeling for him, so she had a low-key and long-term affair with him.
As the two grew older, Mrs. Ying lost her youth and beauty, and their relationship gradually faded.
But none of them thought that the secret road would be discovered one day. Could the angry king of the Southern Jin allow them to live in the world and pollute their eyes?
In a remote palace, the old princess was locked here in a mess, surrounded by dark and muddy water tanks. His limbs were pierced by iron chains, staring at the wall, and he had no will to survive.
The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty didn't kill him like Madame Shaying. Instead, he imprisoned people here and tormented him slowly. He was not far away from them when the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty guessed the whereabouts of the old princess.
Tang Yue also curiously asked Prince Zhao about the whereabouts of the old prince, Prince Zhao only returned four words: "life is not like death!"
Tang Yue was cold all over, and he could probably guess how miserable his fate was.
From then on, he knew that this man would never appear again.
"What does the king think of Prince Xu? Is there any doubt that he was not his own Tang Yue thought about this matter with normal people's thinking, and thought that Prince Xu would not be better.
"He didn't come out of the ancestral temple, saying that he sincerely prayed for the people and his father. Originally, the father had planned to invite him back on New Year's day and wanted to entrust him with a heavy responsibility. But Oh, even if the father doesn't say it on his face, there will always be a thorn in his heart. "
"The king and the king are not likely to be angry for a long time
"It is true that the eldest prince is the eldest son of all the princes who looks the most like his father and the eldest son, so he has been loved since he was a child. However, how much the father spoiled him before, how much he disliked him later, the green hat can not be easily removed.
From now on, every time the king of Southern Jin saw Prince Xu, he would surely think of his dead mother. If he thought of the woman, he would naturally think about him and the old prince. How could he be in a good mood?
If the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty was in a bad mood, his life would not be easy.
"So we can kill two birds with one stone?" Tang Yuezhen was envious of Prince Zhao's luck, so he solved their current opponent without blowing dust.
I have to say, that secret passage was discovered in time.
"At least in the short term, no flies will be watching us."
"It's a pity that the treasures and weapons in the secret path, why didn't your highness bring the good things back first?" That's a lot of money.
Prince Zhao looked at him strangely, "how do you know you didn't pull things back?"
"Not that Did the king find those things in that secret passage? " The news came from the palace. Can't it be false?
Prince Zhao patted himself on the thigh and asked Tang Yue to sit up. Then he pointed to his lips. After Tang Yue reluctantly kissed him, he said, "a large part of the treasure is printed with the official seal of the previous dynasty. It is not easy to pull it back. He only chose some that can be used at any time, as well as those weapons. Only the useful parts are selected. The rest is not rusty It's too backward. It's no use at all. "
"Prince Zhao blinked triumphantly," we can't pull a pile of useless garbage back, and take up space in vain. "
Tang Yue took a puff from the corner of his mouth and said in his heart: if you don't want to bring the garbage back, you can give it to your father. Is it appropriate for you to be such a pit father?
Fortunately, the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty counted and put those things into the warehouse. It was like pie in the sky. How could he know that those things were rubbish that his son didn't want.
Tang Yue was silent for the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty, but he was also worthless. With so many sons, none of them were sincere towards him. It was sad and pitiful.
