Chapter 1496
1496 the difficult problem left for emperor sheng wen!
King Pingyuan was Emperor Shengwen’s uncle. He was a figure of the older generation and had not been involved in court politics for many years. At the same time, he also had a high prestige in the Army.
recalling this information, xiao ran frowned. the nirvana saint pill was obviously used to treat the plum blossom poison. could it be that he was also poisoned? Or was he trying to save the prince behind him?
with his status, if he wanted the nirvana divine blood, he could have asked emperor shengwen for it openly. no matter how good the treasure was, it was still a treasure. with his face, emperor shengwen would not refute it and would most likely reward him with it. but now, he chose to steal the treasury of the ministry of revenue.
this matter was definitely not that simple!
even if it was done by king pingyuan, there was a huge conspiracy behind it.
Thinking of this …
xiao ran looked at him coldly. for some reason, marquis wuli panicked once again when he met xiao ran’s gaze. it was as if he was facing the world’s most terrifying thing. he pressed his palms on the ground in a panic and backed away again. as he backed away, he shook his head,”you … what do you want to do?”
“i gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it! you’re still trying to be petty.”
upon seeing this.
Marquis Wuli crawled up from the ground and hurriedly kneeled down to beg for mercy. He cried out in tears, not a single shred of his dignity as a Marquis. He was even worse than a dog,”it’s true! i didn’t lie to you, it was really king pingyuan who ordered me. he told me that his majesty was about to die, and as long as i was willing to help, he, he would make me the king of the opposite sex after the matter was over.”
xiao ran caught the main point. this was the key.
if there were no great benefits, it would be impossible to get a marquis to work for him.
however, there was one more doubt. when did emperor sheng wen die? how come he had never heard of it before?
With his current power, if Emperor Sheng Wen was really going to die, he would be the first to know.
from the looks of it, there was a huge conspiracy hidden in this.
it was either he wanted to rebel, or the prince behind him wanted to attack emperor sheng wen.
Xiao Zhou also understood the seriousness of the matter and asked in a deep voice, ” “Brother Xiao, what do we do now?”
bang! bang!
Xiao ran knocked him on the head and glared at him. it’s been so long. Can’t you use your brain to think when you encounter something? ”
“I have you, don’t I? as long as you’re here, i’m too lazy to use my brain. it’s much easier this way.” Little Zhou rubbed his head and smiled smugly.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to use his brain. When he was with Xiao ran and the others, as long as he had his hands, he would do whatever they said and execute their orders to the end.
This way, he could save a lot of brain cells.
He had to admit that this guy was quite clever.
“I’ll get sister Yan to deal with you later!” Xiao ran rolled his eyes at him.
He said in a deep voice.
“take them to the royal house of pingyuan! i’d like to see what kind of medicine king pingyuan is selling!”
xiao zhou summoned the surrounding members of the divine sword guards and escorted them to the royal house of pingyuan.
the commotion here had already alarmed everyone.
On the surface, no one jumped out to stop Xiao ran. Firstly, they didn’t dare to do so for fear of being dragged into it and getting themselves involved. Secondly, Xiao ran’s reputation was too great. Not only did he have a profound cultivation base, but he also had terrifying power. The network of connections he had built over the past few years had reached an extremely terrifying level.
This matter had nothing to do with him, so he didn’t want to offend him.
The first Prince, second Prince, and the others had also received the news. To them, it was just an ordinary case. Even if the Ministry of Revenue had been robbed, losing a hundred million taels of silver and some precious treasures, there was no need to make such a big fuss, right?
He had actually used an ox-Cleaver to send out Xiao ran, this great weapon of mass destruction. While he felt that it was a waste of talent, he also had a doubt in his heart. Could there be a huge conspiracy that no one knew about hidden in this?
At this point, they didn’t dare to let their guard down.
What happened to the third Prince and the others was still vivid in their minds, as if it had happened yesterday. If they were not careful, they could be defeated at any time. They didn’t want to die, and they didn’t want everything they had done for the past few years to be in vain.
He immediately sent people to investigate and gave a death order to find out what was hidden in this case and what kind of unspeakable secrets were hidden behind it.
in the dark.
The spies of the major forces hid in the dark and looked at them coldly. They were all waiting for the results to come out so that they could send the news back as soon as possible.
very quickly.
xiao ran and his group stopped outside the royal mansion of pingyuan.
the guard at the door lowered his head. he looked sad and worried. a sorrowful atmosphere filled the air, as if something major had happened.
The leading guard hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his fists in greeting. He respectfully said, ” “greetings, lord marquis!”
xiao ran furrowed his brows and looked into the courtyard. a mournful atmosphere hung over the royal mansion. at the same time, he saw the expressions on their faces. he wondered if king pingyuan had already committed suicide.
There was no other explanation.
moreover …
Once he committed suicide, all the clues that they had found would be cut off, and the case would end there, unless there were other clues.
before he could speak, xiao zhou had already asked, ” “what’s the matter with you guys?”
“my, my family’s wangye’s old illness acted up just now, and he has already left this world!”
