บท 39: Royal father and son
On the way to the eastern prison of the Supreme Court, Eunuch Xie spoke to the former in a low voice, "Your Majesty, why did Madam An choose to go in the evening when she bought a sin slave?"
"She, the Grand Preceptor's daughter, actually wants to save a few dollars to buy a sinful slave," Shizong said. "If I put it on you, do you have the nerve to go in broad daylight?"
"Your Majesty is wise," Eunuch Xie hastened to say.
"Do you have any objections to the An siblings?" Shizong suddenly asked Eunuch Xie.
With just a single question, he had scared the emperor witless. Did he not like An Jin's, a married woman or a woman born into a concubine's family? Why was the emperor worried about her? As the most loyal servant of the sect, Eunuch Xie didn't think that the Emperor was wrong. He only thought that An-Jin had done something wrong. Just thinking of An Jin's, Eunuch Xie knew that there was a way to make the Emperor forget about her.
Just now, Eunuch Xie was really thinking that if he could find those two fugitives in An Jin's carriage, the Emperor would definitely kill her. Once she died, everyone would be safe. Eunuch Xie stole a glance at the Shizong, smiled obsequiously, and said, "How dare I be disrespectful to Second Miss An? "Your servant wouldn't dare."
"One last time," Shizong said coldly.
If she hadn't been walking on the road, Eunuch Xie would have knelt down to apologize. When Shizong told him the last time, Eunuch Xie knew that he meant that if he dared to plot against An Jin again, his life would be over.
Soon after, the eastern prison cell of the justice courts appeared in front of the people of the sect. The justice court's official, Wei Xi Sheng, welcomed the people of the sect before them.
At this moment, the flames in the cell had already been extinguished, but black smoke was still coming out from all over the place. A pungent smell of burnt flesh permeated the air, making it hard for people to breathe smoothly.
"After dismounting from his horse, the Shizong walked towards the gate, ignoring the terrible scene that followed the burning prison cell." Where's Wang Yuan's second son? " The Shi Zong asked the official behind him as he walked quickly.
"It is this official who has failed in his duty," the justice court's official said with a bitter face, "Wang Yuan's second son committed suicide in his cell."
Shizong stopped abruptly, "Dead?"
Even today, he did not know what the purpose of the Wang Yuan. After Wang Yuan and his son went to prison, the imperial guards came to interrogate the second son of the Wang family. Today, the prison had been set on fire. The second son of the Wang family had committed suicide, and nine of the Wang family's deathsworn had managed to escape.
Shizong kicked this important official of the Board of Justice to the ground and asked, "Where is his corpse?"
Immediately, a bailiff came forward, his legs trembling as he led a group of people to look at the corpses that they had collected.
Two rows of thirty-six corpses lay neatly on the ground in a small courtyard within the prison.
The bailiff took the two corpses and stammered, "Your Majesty, this … this is the corpse of the second son of the Wang clan. A corpse."
The body in front of him had not been burned down completely. The wounds on his body showed that he had been tortured while he was alive. His tongue was stuck out, and his eyes were wide open.
"Your Majesty," one of the imperial guards looked at the two corpses and told the grand master, "These are the bodies of Wang Yuan and his son."
The Shizong looked at the two corpses in front of him without uttering a word, with a cold expression on his face. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Eunuch Xie and his imperial bodyguards looked over all the corpses in the courtyard before returning to report to the Emperor. "Your Majesty, this servant has counted them all. There are only seven corpses of the Wang clan's Imprinted Death Soldiers."
"Sage Wei Xi," the grand master called out to the justice court.
"Your subject is here," said Sage Wei Xi Sheng, standing behind Shizong.
"Take your men and capture them," the Emperor said. "They won't be able to escape the city at this time.
Wei Xi Sheng hurriedly brought a group of bailiffs from the justice courts to leave.
Just as Wei Xi Sheng left with his men, a young eunuch ran into the courtyard and whispered a few words to Eunuch Xie.
"Your Majesty, His Highness Crown Prince and His Highness the other princes have arrived. They're right outside the prison cell."
"Let them in."
Eunuch Xie turned around and shouted at the eunuchs, "His Majesty has announced the arrival of His Highness."
After a while, the crown prince led the way. Other than the Sixth Prince, who had always been in poor health, he had already reached adulthood. The five princes, who had been assigned various tasks in the imperial court, walked into the courtyard together.
The Shizong looked back at his sons and said, "You guys are here to look at the corpse as well?"
As soon as the princes heard the tone of the Shizong, they all kneeled down.
Eunuch Xie motioned to the rest of the yard to go out.
In the blink of an eye, only the royal family of six were left in the courtyard, along with the thirty-six corpses that littered the ground.
"Crown Prince," Shizong didn't let his sons get up and asked, "Why do you think Wang Yuan deserves to die?"
The Crown Prince could not dare to speak. The three girls of Wang Yuan were his concubines. If he was not the Crown Prince, then he would be one of the nine clans that Wang Yuan that will be killed.
Bai Chengze opened his mouth and said, "Imperial Father, this son has heard that Wang Yuan has been secretly forming an army for the past few years, and now that Imperial Father has decreed that Wang Yuan will execute the nine clansmen, this son believes that the matter regarding Wang Yuan's private army must be true."
The Crown Prince kowtowed and said, "Imperial Father is enlightened. This son is unaware of Wang Yuan's crimes. If I were to know that he is so audacious, I would definitely kill him!"
The Emperor didn't pay attention to the Crown Prince. He looked at Bai Chengze and asked, "Where did you hear that?"
Bai Chengze said in a very magnanimous manner, "This son heard from the officials of the Ministry of Justice that Wang Yuan's family has hundreds of death soldiers. This son thinks that even if the Wang family needs them to protect their homes, the hundreds of death soldiers are not meant to protect their homes.
The First Prince, Bai Chengzhou, who was standing behind the crown prince, continued, "Hundreds of Death Soldiers! These are figures that the Ministry of Justice can find out publicly. In private, we still don't know how many martial artists this sinner, Wang Yuan, has raised."
The Shizong looked at the crown prince and asked, "Crown Prince, what do you think?"
"Wang Yuan deserves to die!" The Crown Prince raised his head and looked at the Shi Zong, his forehead was already green from the kowtow, "Father, your son is willing to watch over and execute the whole Wang Yuan family."
"I thought you liked Wang Yuan's daughter a lot."
The Crown Prince kowtowed again, "That is just a woman. I do not lack women, and how can a woman be more important than my Bai Clan's Jiang Shan? royal father, this son really does not know about Wang Yuan's crimes, I beg for royal father's forgiveness! "
The Second Prince, Bai Chenglu, who shared the same parents as Bai Chengze opened his mouth and said, "Imperial Father, regarding the fire in the prison and the suicide of Wang Yuan, this son believes that we have to thoroughly investigate it. "The Heavenly Prison of the justice courts is the most heavily guarded prison by me. Is Wang's Death Soldier really that capable of causing chaos in the Heavenly Prison of the justice courts?"
After crossing the courtyard for a long time, no one spoke. Bai Chenglu's words were actually referring to the fact that the Wang clan's Death Soldiers had reinforcements within the prison. Although he did not say it explicitly, the Second Prince's words were directed at the crown prince.
After a long silence, the Emperor asked, "Are you going to take over?"
The Crown Prince's voice was choked with sobs as he said, "Father, I will naturally leave the matter of Wang Yuan."
The First Prince immediately said, "Just now, His Highness the Crown Prince requested that the entire clan of Wang Yuan be beheaded."
At this time, Bai Chengze became a good person again and said, "Big brother, I think the reason why His Highness asked for an imperial edict to be executed was also because he hated the sinner, Wang Yuan, to the bone."
"Fifth brother," The First Prince turned around and looked at Bai Chengze, who was kneeling behind him, "You are really thinking for the Crown Prince."
Bai Chengze lowered his head, avoiding the disdainful gaze of the First Prince.
"You're all my good sons, ah. I'll tell you again, this Jiang Shan is mine, and I'm not dead yet, what are you all doing?"
When the five princes saw that the crown prince was infuriated, they hurriedly pressed their foreheads to the ground and said, "This son dares not."
"We will definitely investigate this matter tonight! Fourth Bro, you go do it, "said the Emperor as he called upon the only person who hadn't spoken a single word, the fourth prince Bai Chengye," Let the Sage Wei Xi help you look into the matter of Wang Yuan, even if he dies, it won't be over! Having said so, the Emperor hastily flicked their sleeves in anger and left the courtyard.
The five princes waited for the passing of the previous generation before they finally stood up. Kneeling in front of the First Courtyard's corpse until now, the princes didn't feel comfortable in their hearts.
The First Prince snorted coldly at the crown prince, "I really don't know if the lives of Wang Yuan and his clansmen are worth it."
The crown prince did not have the heart to argue with his big brother. He merely glanced at the First Prince.
The fourth prince, Bai Chengsheng, gave Bai Chengze a glance and bowed to the crown prince before leaving.
Bai Chengze asked the crown prince softly, "Your Highness, do you want to leave with your underlings?"
The Crown Prince shook his head.
"Hmph." The First Prince coldly snorted, then turned and left.
Bai Chenglu and Bai Chengze, the twin brothers, bowed to the crown prince and left side by side.
The crown prince seemed to have lost his soul as he stood alone in the courtyard filled with corpses. The weather in May was not cold. The cell had just been set ablaze, and the air was scorching hot. The crown prince felt cold, bone-chilling cold.
The Emperor rushed back to the palace in a fit of anger. At the entrance of the imperial study, he saw Empress Xiang waiting there.
"Your Majesty," the empress hastened to greet him when she saw him walk over.
"You came to speak on behalf of your son?" Shizong asked coldly.
The empress laughed, "It's not like the crown prince made any mistakes. Why would chenqie speak up for him?"
Seeing the calm face of her empress, the Emperor anger grew even stronger. "It's getting late, the empress should go rest," he said as he walked into the imperial study, not even sparing the empress a glance.
Empress Xiang was unable to enter the imperial study either, so she could only stand quietly in front of the door for a while before bringing the palace maid back to the Middle Palace.
Shi Zong sat in the inner room of the imperial study. Annoyed, he threw all the memorials on the imperial desk onto the floor. In the court, it was not Wang Yuan alone who was in the private army, but a bunch of people who were in the process of exterminating the Nine Clan. Except for Wang Yuan, no other sect had found out yet.
At this time, Eunuch Xie brought tea to the Shizong, not daring to ask about the memorial.
"I want the inner court to investigate the whereabouts of the two death warriors," Shizong said to Geely. "I want them alive."
"This servant obeys the decree," Jilly hurriedly said.
Wang Yuan's family was completely unaware of what Wang Yuan had done. The two men who had escaped were Wang Yuan's personal guards, and they were usually the ones who trained the other members of the Wang Clan. The Wang Clan could only hope that the answer would come from these two men.
Under the moonlight, the fragrance painting hung squarely on the wall. After a busy day, the exhausted Emperor looked at Ah Jin embroidery and asked himself, "Who is his Flower of Anxiety?"
