Chapter 1708: Brewed for several months, the main dish is finally on the table

~8 min read 1,457 words

"Your Majesty can naturally execute Prince Shuncheng, if the above are all true. However, under what name should it be announced to the world? You can't just demote and confine a dignified Prince without a sound."

A question, Sun Daoning used all the courage of his life.

Originally a temperament that sought stability, when he was old, he was brave for a moment. It's just that this bravery was only a moment of lonely bravery, not a calculated bravery, and couldn't last.

Next, he could only continue to be "brave," taking one step at a time.

Although there was sweat on his forehead, although his heart was panicked, he could only bite the bullet and go up.

It is as the saying goes, there is no turning back after the bow is drawn.

He had subconsciously sought help from Xie Changling.

However, Xie Changling didn't even give him a straight look. He was anxious, questioning the Emperor rashly, whether it was taking a risk, or finding a way out for himself.

He didn't know!

At this moment, Chen Guanlou, who was far outside the palace, actually became his spiritual pillar.

He thought, if Chen Guanlou were in his shoes, he definitely wouldn't be silent and follow the crowd. He would definitely make some trouble.

He was now adhering to the principle of making trouble, trying hard to make trouble.

Hoping for a not-too-bad ending.

Can only look forward to it.

"Then announce to the world, Prince Shuncheng is disrespectful! I consider the brotherhood, show mercy outside the law, and spare his life. Hope he can wash his heart and face from now on, and repent sincerely. It won't be in vain for my painstaking efforts. In addition, Prince Ning's management is not strict, and he should be punished. Then punish him with one year's salary; do you ministers have any objections?"

The Emperor had said everything, so the ministers naturally had no objections.

Sun Daoning was cowardly this time, not daring to sing the opposite tune, and could only follow the crowd.

Emperor Yuanding looked at Sun Daoning twice, sneering in his heart. He thought he was a soft persimmon, but didn't expect there were thorns on his body.

But it doesn't matter, just pull the thorns out.

"Now let's discuss the case of Censor Wang being assassinated in the street, and the capital's public security; who exactly should I trust."

Emperor Yuanding wanted to pursue the victory.

Sun Daoning thought to himself, it's coming; planned for so long, brewed for several months, the main dish is finally on the table.

Seizing power?

Who will die?

Can Xie Changling keep the pattern of the Government Affairs Hall?

Zhao Jichong, this horse's forerunner, what will he do?

His own situation, can he retreat unscathed?

Sun Daoning was uneasy in his heart.

Chen Guanlou stood under the eaves, looking at the heavy rain, his mood was not very beautiful.

Two days of heavy rain, as if wanting to drown the capital. The nearby rivers all rose sharply, all kinds of filth swayed wantonly in the river, so dirty!

Fortunately, the Marquis Prefecture's terrain was good, and there was no possibility of being flooded. And there was no need to go out to buy water; there were several water wells in the Marquis Prefecture, protected very well.

Without special observation, he had already discovered that there were more people patrolling the street. The heavy rain didn't delay the Military Horse Division from being loyal to their duties.

When did the Military Horse Division become so dedicated; it could be called a miracle.

The Emperor returned to the palace, truly something big was wrong.

One hundred percent there was a big movement.

He didn't care what the Emperor wanted to do.

He looked toward the Marquis Prefecture, and the Marquis Prefecture's guards had clearly moved, with people patrolling every dead corner. There was a feeling of facing a great enemy.

He thought about whether to go to the Marquis Prefecture to explore the situation.

At this time, Sister Chunxiang swished and came to his side, standing side by side with him.

Sister Chunxiang was clearly old, already a grandmother, so being old was normal.

She was cautious, wanting to speak but stopping, looking around several times.

"Sister Chunxiang, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Between you and me, there is no need to cover up. Could it be that someone caused trouble again?"

"No no no..." Sister Chunxiang denied hurriedly, looking around, making sure there was no one around.

At this moment, the rain was getting smaller, and there was still no one on the street.

Standing under the eaves, except for the sound of rain, everything around was quiet.

"Xiao Lou, I feel like Dawang is back." Sister Chunxiang sobbed, saying in a low voice.

Chen Guanlou frowned, clearly dissatisfied, reminding: "Dawang is already dead!"

"Right right right, Dawang is already dead." Sister Chunxiang changed her words immediately.

Sister Chunxiang's eldest son Dawang, used to be a helper in the government office, collecting protection fees, committed a case, and was sentenced to immediate execution. Chen Guanlou played a trick of replacing the person, changed Dawang's name and surname, charged him as a prisoner in another fight case, and exiled him to the Northwest to serve before the army.

If there were no accidents, Dawang was now named Jin Youde. His previous identity was an exiled prisoner, later he made military merit, and should have restored his status as a good citizen.

He had repeatedly warned the other party not to return to the capital.

The case back then killed many people, so many victims; if even one victim saw him, the case would have to be overturned, and everyone would bear the consequences.

Now Sister Chunxiang suddenly said Dawang returned to the capital; this is intolerable.

Chen Guanlou hurriedly stopped the other party, not allowing nonsense.

Sister Chunxiang also realized she said the wrong thing, her expression very annoyed.

After a moment, "But I really saw him. He is my son, I couldn't possibly recognize him wrong."

Chen Guanlou sneered, "He is serving before the army, how could he suddenly return to the capital. Did you see his face, or his back? Don't recognize him wrong."

"Didn't see his face. But, that back, he is my son, how could I..."

"There are thousands of similar people in the world, and similar backs are countless. Sister Chunxiang, what exactly do you want to do by saying these things?"

Sister Chunxiang also knew she was a bit excessive, her expression a bit guilty and embarrassed, looking awkward.

"Xiao Lou, Sister-in-law isn't trying to find trouble for you. I just want to know how he has been all these years. Can you help Sister-in-law ask where he is now?"

"You want to know if the person you saw that day was him, right?"

Sister Chunxiang nodded repeatedly, not denying it.

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and said: "Fine! I also want to know what Dawang's situation is now. I will help you inquire. But you cannot make your own decisions. It is a time of many events, and it is better to have less trouble than more. Can you understand?"

"Xiao Lou, I understand. I won't cause trouble for you."

Sister Chunxiang guaranteed repeatedly.

She had been working as a maid in the Marquis Prefecture for many years, and she knew the rules. She wasn't that kind of ignorant country woman who couldn't keep her mouth shut.

"Sister Chunxiang, our neighborly relationship is hard to come by, understand?"

"Xiao Lou, if I bring disaster to you, I will be struck by lightning." Sister Chunxiang guaranteed again, absolutely not making a mistake. Before getting the news, she would rot all the words and things in her heart.

Chen Guanlou looked at the other party deeply, and only said after a long time: "That is very good!"

Sister Chunxiang was instantly relieved.

The sky cleared up! A rainbow hung on the horizon, truly beautiful!

Chen Guanlou went to the Heavenly Prison to be on duty. Mainly because there was nothing to do at home, it was better to be at ease drinking tea in the Heavenly Prison.

Dawang...

If Dawang really returned to the capital, excluding the possibility of him returning privately, that meant he returned with a mission. Whose mission? Marquis Pingjiang's mission?

Not very possible!

Marquis Pingjiang had many talents under his hands, and even the Chen clan members were over a hundred. More familiar with the capital than Dawang.

Even if there was a mission, there was no need to use Dawang, this exiled prisoner who replaced someone else's name. ===== CHAPTER 1709 =====
