Xun Ming's mind was in chaos. He didn't even know why he was hiding everywhere. He just came to this banquet to get to know some powerful backers. How did he end up in the current situation.
The whole person was dragged to the front yard in a daze like a dead dog.
Before he could figure it out, he saw the black soot marks on Shi Chong's face, hands and white chest, glaring at him with a cannibalistic expression.
"It was you, you set the fire!"
Shi Chong's eyes showed cruel expression when he saw him.
He replied in a panic, "No, no...I didn't..."
At this time, the guard who dragged him here showed a fire seal in his hand, "My subordinates saw him running out of Chong'an Hall with the fire seal, then rushed into the side hall Gong room, and locked the door behind him. , the entire Gong’s house was swept through, and all the furniture inside was dismantled.”
"I didn't dismantle it." Xun Ming defended, "I was framed. I just entered that place by mistake. Huo Zhezi... I didn't mean it. Yes, when I woke up, that Huo Zhezi was there inexplicably. I have it in my hand. I opened this fire fold accidentally and the fire broke out. Gong Fang...Gong Fang, oh, I just have an internal emergency. Isn't it that I can't go to Gong Fang?"
It's okay that he didn't explain, but such a random quibble that didn't match the preface and follow-up would make it appear that there was no silver in this place, and Shi Chong's face became even darker.
When a guard came over and whispered in his ear, "Master, the key is missing, and even the floor tiles in Gong's room have been pried open." At that moment, he felt like he was chopping Xun Ming alive.
This further confirmed that Shi Chong felt that the things had been stolen by him.
"Search him, the things must be on him."
"What are you doing!"
Xun Ming struggled desperately but could not escape. Several guards twisted him around and searched him from head to toe. Even the key parts were carefully searched.
The guard replied, "It's not on him, nothing."
Shi Chong thought deeply and determined that the guards at home caught him immediately, but did not find the key on him. There must be an accomplice who took the things away, but Xun Ming was caught because he had no time to escape.
Shi Chongqing asked with a dark face, "Where are your accomplices?"
"What accomplice?" Xun Ming's face was filled with astonishment.
"It seems that you have stopped crying when you see the board. Give me a good beating."
"ah!"
The guard broke his hand with a slap, kicked him in the knee, and heard a crisp cracking sound when the sword sheath hit his leg bone.
Xun Ming, who had been severely punished, was also inexplicably angry. He screamed in fear and anger, "Do you know who I am! I am the young prince of Zhaoping Houfu. You dare to lynching me? You are not afraid of my father." !"
Xun Yu's face flashed across Shi Chong's mind, and then Xun Xun's face flashed across his mind.
Yes, there are many people who covet the Shi family's huge wealth. Marquis Zhaoping must have started making plans a long time ago. He first emptied his power in the Forbidden Army and opposed him everywhere.
Originally, he didn't want to take care of the Imperial Army. As the head of the Shi family, he naturally didn't take the Imperial Army seriously. After all, his family had thousands of people, and his uncle was the governor of Qingzhou. The foundation of the Shi family was basically their ancestors. accumulated wealth.
But it turns out that what the Zhaoping Hou Mansion wants is not the control of the imperial army at all, but the huge wealth of his family!
"Take him with you and follow me to the ancestral temple!"
Shi Chong's heart jumped in shock.
It would be fine if nothing happened to the ancestral temple, but if something happened...he couldn't spare Xun Ming today!
The guards held Xun Ming up like a dog, and there was already a carriage waiting at the door.
The group of people shouted and rushed towards the Shijia Ancestral Temple.
When I arrived at the ancestral temple, I saw the open secret door and the empty dark room.
Shi Chong's face trembled, and the bad premonition in his heart was confirmed. The gold and silver jewelry hidden by the ancestors of his Shi family had been stolen! !
All the gold and silver cakes are gone.
Shi Chong angrily jumped on the spot and ordered people to deal with Xun Ming again.
Both of Xun Ming's leg bones were broken.
Even so, Xun Ming refused to admit that he had the key.
"Let's go! Go to Zhaopinghou Mansion!"
Shi Chong endured the murderous intention and rushed to the Zhaoping Hou Mansion with thousands of pieces of music.
"Old Xun Yu! Come out here."
The concierge tried his best to stop Shi Chong and others, but he couldn't stop them. He asked them to break through the gate of the Hou Mansion and rush into the inner courtyard.
When Mrs. Hou rushed out with Mammy and the maid, what she saw was that Xun Ming's legs were being dragged like noodles, his arms were tied and twisted behind him, there was not a good piece of flesh on his face, and he obviously had very little movement in and out. too much.
She screamed, "My son!"
"General Shi! What are you doing? What did my son do to offend you? You actually treated him so cruelly!"
"Doctor, let the doctor come quickly!"
Shi Chong took the long sword handed over by the guard and blocked Xun Ming's neck with the horizontal sword, "Where is Xun Yu, let Xun Yu come out!"
Mrs. Hou ignored her crying and replied quickly, "Stop it. His Majesty has passed away. Mr. Hou has entered the palace. What do you want to do with him?"
"Where's Xun Xuan?!"
"Cheng'er also followed the Marquis into the palace!"
Xun Xun obviously went to Shi Mansion to attend a banquet today. When the fire started, he disappeared, but now he was told that everyone had entered the palace.
Shi Chong didn't believe it at all.
He just felt that they had cooperated with Xun Ming inside and outside to hide the huge wealth of his Shifu, and he was holding on tightly. Now they must have gone to hide the huge wealth.
He said with a sinister expression, "Mrs. Hou! I'll count to three. If you don't let Xun Yu and Xun Xun come out and you still want to cover for them, I will let your son's blood splatter on the spot!"
"one!"
"two!"
Mrs. Hou choked in her chest and was so frightened that she trembled. She thought that Xun Ming had caused something again, which was why Shi Chong was angered. You apologize..."
"three!"
Shi Chong, who was carried away by anger, was even more angry when he heard that she was still stalling for time at this time.
"Since you don't have to drink wine as a penalty for toasting, I won't be polite today!"
Shi Chong has never been treated with such cowardice since he was born. It was because he had not shown his power for so long that even the Zhaoping Hou Mansion dared not to take him seriously.
Poof-
"ah!"
The sharp blade pierced into the flesh, Xun Ming let out a short and shrill scream, and his head dropped.
"My son!" Mrs. Hou didn't expect that Shi Chong would actually chop Xun Ming to death in front of her, and he would faint as soon as he rolled his eyes.
"Tie up everyone in the Hou Mansion and search it carefully!"
Shi Chong ordered the guards, and soon the guards were like locusts crossing the border and searching the Zhaoping Marquis Mansion.
In the palace, He Dai has stabilized the situation with the help of Ao Lei.
Next to him was a seven or eight-year-old child wearing an imperial crown who followed him closely, not daring to leave.
All the ministers who had previously entered the palace knelt in front of the emperor's bed and cried in mourning.
Previously, He Dai read out the imperial edict of passing the throne to the king, and then let the ministers enter the Yangxin Hall.
