Sister, be yourself!

Chapter 174

The desert is full of wind and sand, and it is endless desolation as far as the eye can see, only occasionally the sound of bells can be faintly heard from the sound of the wind.

The wind carries fine sand and stones, wandering in the air, if you don't wear a veil, or cover your mouth and nose, you may have to eat a lot of sand just by standing for a short while.

The wandering traveler walked in the deserted desert, accompanied only by the camels behind him. He did not know how long he walked before finally arriving at the only inn in the desert——Mengzhuang.

He tied the rope leading the camel to the stake, then entered the inn again, found a place to sit down at random, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Come here for a jug of bitter wine."

As soon as the words fell, the wine and the tray flew towards him. He raised his hand slightly and caught the tray without spilling a drop of wine.

The person at the next table took a sip of wine and asked: "You said, what did the Second Prince do near the Tibetan Wind Villa back then? Could it have something to do with the guy in the Villa?"

The companion who was asked by him said: "How do I know that, anyway, there is a bounty for killing him, a full 7000 taels of gold. Even taking off a piece of his flesh, there is a lot of reward, and it's all gold."

The people at the next table were even more puzzled, "I don't know who can afford such a high price."

"Anyway, the person who can pay this price must be able to afford it, otherwise there will be no reward order issued in Mengzhuang."

Meng Zhuang, as long as you are in the rivers and lakes, everyone will know it. It was originally a mysterious assassination organization, and it will take on any job. It doesn't matter whether you are a prince or a martial arts master. Escape.

But in the end, for some reason, it turned into a place that only issued reward orders. As long as you think you can, you can reveal the list. After you finish, you can take the "things" that the other party wants and go to any branch of Mengzhuang to get a reward .

As for those who ask them to issue a reward order, there is no need to worry. Meng Zhuang will first verify the identity of the other party to see if he can afford the price. After the verification is correct, the reward order will be issued. Everything is done confidentially.

But if that person finally achieves his goal but refuses to pay the reward, Meng Zhuang will pay for it, but that person's life will naturally belong to Meng Zhuang. As for whether he lives or dies, it all depends on Meng Zhuang's mood. up.

The people at the next table thought for a while, "That's true."

The companion said angrily: "Isn't it just a mere prince who knows how to reincarnate better than us, see if I don't take his dog's head, I'll take the 7000 taels of gold!"

"Fortunately, there are two princes who want to kill this time, and the bounty is the same, otherwise we won't have enough points."

The sound of their conversation kept coming to the traveler's ears, but he didn't care to listen, all he could think about was what they said, the second prince had appeared near Zangfeng Villa, and he also found out recently that there was indeed a group of people three years ago When they arrived in Songzhou, Li Xi had secretly greeted them, but whoever could drive Li Xi to greet them naturally didn't need to think about their identity.

The second prince...

Jiu Ji is almost insane, he only wants to avenge his lover, he would rather kill by mistake than let one go, so the second prince must die!

Holding the wine jug in his hand, Jiu Ji took another sip. When he got up, a piece of silver landed firmly on the counter and made a small hole.

"Xiao Er, make me another jug ​​of wine and drink it later on the road."

My dear, that silver is the same as being nailed to the counter.

Xiao Er, who usually ignores everyone, finally has a good face, "Okay, sir."

After handing everything over to the emperor, the emperor asked her when she would move back to the palace. Although the grand crown ceremony had not yet been held, Xiao Yuanzhi had already been canonized as the empress dowager, and she was supposed to live in the East Palace. Wei Zisu was afraid that Wei Zisu would not be used to the cumbersome rules in the wedding palace, so he found a reason and pushed back.

The emperor didn't force him any more, but asked him to bring Wei Zisu back to the East Palace every three days for a day. Seeing that he took a big step back, Xiao Yuanzhi could only agree.

After leaving the main hall, Xiao Yuanzhi was quite light, and wanted to look for Wei Zisu, but saw that Wei Zisu was already waiting for her at the gate of the palace.

The two went back to the mansion together, and told Wei Zisu what the emperor had said on the way.

Xiao Yuanzhi read the booklets as usual, and sometimes the emperor would take out a few books alone for her to review, and then the emperor would check them again, and Wei Zisu was not idle, besides handling official business, he also secretly arrested many servants in the mansion. He also invited Yan'er and Jiang Huiqing to help him kill the conspiracy of those who cared, and the princess mansion became much calmer because of this.

The two princes were even more uncomfortable. It would not be an exaggeration to describe their experience as intense and dangerous. People came to assassinate people constantly, and all of them were highly skilled in martial arts. In just two days, five batches of guards were changed. I dare not sleep.

So much so that in the morning court, although the two of them were well-dressed, they both wore big panda eyes.

Because Xiao Yuanzhi handed over all the congratulatory gifts to the emperor, he originally wanted to say that she was corrupt, which led to her unsuitable plan to be the crown prince, but it was stillborn. Not only did she fail to achieve her goal, but she was also damaged. There was a lot of money, which made the followers of the two princes even more dissatisfied with Xiao Yunzhi.

Xiao Yunzhi also knew that there were many pairs of eyes staring at her. Every time she went to the court, she would not leave the door. When she appeared, she was very affectionate with Wei Zisu, so she didn't give them a chance to catch her pigtails.

Those partisans are worried. They want to say that she is not good at handling government affairs. As long as you ask, people can answer everything. Not only can they answer, but they can also come up with many good ideas; , she is not lecherous, and there is only one son-in-law by her side; I want to talk about her in the past, after all, who did not do a few "bad" things when they were young and frivolous, as long as they improve a little, they are not bad With her tongue, she would be able to turn those things into an unforgivable stain, but they sent someone to inquire, and all the people in Songzhou praised her.

Compared with their sad faces, the "Girls' Party" smiled happily, and they all felt that they were in the right team, and Xiao Yuanzhi will definitely be a wise king in the future, so no matter whether he is in the court or in the court, he will take turns in the open and in the dark. The sarcasm made them angry.

The dissatisfaction of the ministers under him, no matter how calm the two princes are, the state of mind will inevitably be affected by so many assassins in the rivers and lakes.

After the spies reported back and the second prince took some action, Lou Xuan felt that the time had come, and he couldn't bear it any longer, so he sent guard Li to do something.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind, and he will not only be the oriole, but also the emperor!

Lou Xuan was about to get up and go back to the house, when a group of officers and soldiers surrounded him.

Ye Shan walked in, and Wei Zisu followed closely behind him.

Ye Shan cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, an anonymous report will be received at the end of today, saying that the fifth prince deliberately killed the imperial court official, so he sent troops to investigate."

Lou Xuan reprimanded: "You bastard, how can I allow you, a little left general, to search in my palace!"

Wei Zisu said: "Your Highness, if you didn't kill the court official, why are you so excited? Could it be that you have a guilty conscience? Your Highness, please prove your innocence."

"Joke, do I still need to prove my innocence? Besides, Ye Shan is just a left general, not even qualified to lead troops to fight. Just relying on anonymous reports, I dare to search my house. I think you are eating You've got a bear's heart and a leopard's guts!" Lou Xuan said again: "My son-in-law, even if you have the support of the emperor's daughter, don't be too presumptuous."

Lou Xuan said to Ye Shan again: "Even if you want to lead troops to search, it must have His Majesty's will, otherwise what qualifications do you have!"

"Forgive me, Your Highness. General Ye is only dedicated to serving the common people, and he only acts like this when he is in a hurry."

Lou Xuan snorted coldly, and felt that Wei Zisu was nothing more than that, but then, Wei Zisu said again: "But General Ye has brought people here, please allow your highness to search for it, if During the search, if I offend His Highness, His Highness can immediately cut off my head."

Lou Xuan was also dizzy with anger, and the bait thrown by Wei Zisu was too tempting, he had eaten enough in the past few days, "Okay, I am waiting to chop off your head!"

Ye Shan didn't hesitate, and ordered: "Come on, search!"

"General Ye, if you can't find out, I will punish you!"

Ye Shan only glanced at him, then went in and searched together.

Although Lou Xuan is good at killing people, he is not stupid, how could he do it in the mansion so stupidly, but soon, he also had doubts, Wei Zisu was as cunning as a fox, how could he foolishly give his life to He, could it be...

As soon as this idea emerged, an officer and soldier said: "People... dead people, there are dead people here!"

Lou Xuan turned around, just about to follow the sound, but the next moment, his whole body was frozen.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Shan's voice was heard again, "It's the second prince!"

Wei Zisu sneered, "Brother Wuhuang, I'm afraid you won't be able to take my head this time."

Lou Xuan's eyes widened in anger, he cursed a few words, but Wei Zisu also ordered his dumb acupoints at that moment.

The next day, the entire government and the public were shocked. The second prince died tragically in the fifth prince's residence.

The fifth prince was imprisoned, and the emperor ordered Dali Temple to start an investigation, but for some reason, he also ordered the son-in-law, who was originally an official of the household department, to assist Dali Temple in investigating the case.

Of course Wei Zisu knew that this would not be able to lock Lou Xuan, because the evidence was insufficient, and he could find out the clues with just a little investigation, but even if it couldn't disrupt the arrangement of the Fifth Prince, at least it could delay the time, wouldn't it?

As long as Li Shiwei can't contact Lou Xuan, he will fall into her trap.

Wei Zisu was standing on the highest floor of the Zhaixing Building. Although she had her hands behind her back, she was playing with a flute in her hand. Xiao Yunzhi was right. You can really see the beautiful scenery of the entire capital here. It's just that Xiao Yuanzhi was summoned by the emperor today. Time to enjoy it with her.

"Why should I do this?"

Wei Zisu lifted his eyes slightly, and was not surprised by the sudden voice.

"Of course it's to avenge my junior sister."

"Really?" The man paused, then asked again: "Even the Fifth Prince?"

Wei Zisu said very firmly, "Of course."

The man frowned, and his tone was a little excited, "You know all about it? When did you know it?"

Wei Zisu took a deep breath and asked, "Is this important?"

Wei Zisu slightly turned her head to look at him, she could easily take the life of the second prince, and put the body into the fifth prince's mansion without anyone noticing, who else could there be besides her uncle Ninth Priest?

It's a pity, she still wanted to get rid of the fifth prince with the help of her uncle, but she couldn't help it, the uncle had already seen it.

"I will definitely let her come back!"
