Yu'an sat on the soft couch and looked at King Shunde who stood anxiously: "Before this, I have transferred all confidential items such as account books. Qin Qin will break into the underground trading ground, and at most he will seize the payment." It’s just the remaining assets and some less important people there.”
"Oh..." King Shunde frowned and turned around, still worried: "I always feel that this time, this test will not be so easy."
Yuan smiled with an unpredictable expression and did not answer.
King Shunde felt relieved when he saw that he was calm and sat down opposite Yu'an.
After taking two sips of tea, he remembered to ask the people in the palace: "Master Yu, you said earlier that Qin Qin captured everyone in my palace. Where is the dog Xiaotang?"
Gu Xiaotang is the junior who knows the most about his business, including the underground trading ground.
"I have sent people to inquire about the news. As for the prince, I know that the prince loves him very much. After Qin Qin captured him, I immediately sent people to try to rescue him." Yu An turned the ring on his hand: " If nothing else happens, the prince will be able to see him tonight."
"That's good." King Shunde said, he knew that Yu'an had not done anything good in these years, but he was not a clean person either. Compared with Yu'an, he was nothing but a fool.
What's more, Yu'an, the underground trading center, is also involved. In this matter, King Shunde is not worried about his tricks.
King Shunde thanked him and said, "I will bear in mind Master Yu's kindness to Quanzi. I will express my gratitude to him once this difficulty is successfully overcome."
When King Shunde talked about the difficulty, he gave a sharp blow: "This Qin Qin is so restless just after waking up! He might as well have been sleeping. It's just the same thing as the Emperor Yu's obedience ten years ago. Gong, we, the royal family members of the Yu clan, have lived under his hands for so many days that we can’t hold our heads up!”
"If a person is at his best, he will be famous forever when he is dead, but when he is alive, he will go downhill." Yu An was gnawing at the tea in his hand.
King Shunde smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it won't be that easy. He is now at the peak of his powers."
"My lord, I would like to see you on the 29th."
Erjiu was the person sent by Yuan to inquire about the news.
Yuan said: "Let him come in."
Erjiuyi, dressed in black, knelt down on one knee in front of Yuan and gave King Shunde an embarrassed look.
Yuan waved his hand: "No problem, just say that."
"Yes. Your Excellency sent his subordinates to inquire about the soldiers of the Shunde Palace that were taken away by General Qin. The subordinates followed the imperial guards from a distance and found that Qin Qin did not bring them into any imperial examination platform at all, but instead brought everyone to the imperial examination platform. He was brought to a sparsely populated dense forest on the outskirts of the city, and in that dense forest, all the people in the Shunde Palace..." He turned away unbearably: "They were all killed one by one."
"What!" King Shunde shouted, "How dare you!"
Yu'an glanced at the furious King Shunde, with a very angry look on his face, adding fuel to the fire: "Did you follow the wrong one? Then the imperial inspection station is actually willing to listen to his command? How can Qin Qin mobilize the emperor if he doesn't have an imperial order? How can the soldiers at the inspection station dare to execute the prince’s official without permission?”
"General Qin mobilized troops. How many people in Jiuchong City can mobilize troops without authorization? Even if his subordinates are blind, they will not admit their mistakes. This is indeed the case. As for the imperial order, General Qin said when he executed them, look at the entire In the Yu Clan, except His Majesty the Yu Emperor, who can be above him, but he just killed a few ordinary people without any official rank, even if they were officials of the prince's palace, no one dared to stop him."
"Okay, okay!" King Shunde blushed. He stood up and wandered around the room, pointing to the location of the Yu Clan's palace: "This is the jackal, tiger and leopard that Gu Ming has raised over the years! They are not from my race. His heart must be different! Yuhuang, Yuhuang, is he still the Yuhuang of our Yu clan?!"
"Your Majesty, calm down." Yu'an stepped forward with concern on his face and comforted King Shunde: "At least His Royal Highness is not among that group of people. As a royal relative of the Yu clan, forgive him, no matter how arrogant Qin Qin is, he will not dare to take action without permission. After rescuing the eldest son, the prince will hide in the south for a while to recuperate and lead us to replenish our energy and start over again."
Yu An narrowed his eyes: "If we want to return the Yu clan to a pure land, it is impossible without trying to get rid of this alien."
Yu'an comforted Queen Shunde, turned to Erjiu and told Erjiu: "How come the people who went to rescue the prince have not come back for so long? Why don't you go and take a look."
Erjiu did not move, still kneeling on the ground, his face full of pain.
When King Shunde saw him like this, his heart suddenly went cold. He grabbed Erjiu with trembling hands: "What? Why don't you go?"
King Shunde's lips trembled: "Where is my son? Did something happen to my son? What do I want to ask you? Just tell me!"
Originally, he wasn't particularly concerned about Gu Xiaotang's life and death. After all, he was more than just his son.
But that was in the past, and now Qin Qin has killed all the people in his house, and none of his illegitimate children without royal titles have survived.
Now, he only has Gu Xiaotang left.
He is already at this age. If he has no descendants, no matter how many businesses and properties he has, will he eventually have to make wedding clothes for others?
Erjiu allowed him to shake him, but he knelt on the ground and didn't move. Yu'an also frowned anxiously and asked: "What's going on? The prince is asking you something! Why don't you tell me straight to the point!"
"Your Majesty!" He punched hard and spoke with difficulty, "Your Majesty... His Majesty... He is also dead!"
King Shunde suddenly sat on his chair, his expression was shocked, and veins popped out on his forehead.
"Qin Qin——"
Yu'an let go of his hand and let King Shunde sit down without any strength. He slightly bent the corners of his mouth where King Shunde couldn't see him, but said in a deep tone: "Tell me in detail!"
"Yes!" Erjiu held his hands and said, "After seeing Qin Qin kill the people in Prince Shunde's palace, my subordinates were shocked by his actions. They were thinking that the prince might be in trouble, so they were about to turn around and go to rescue the prince, but... I was accidentally discovered by the guards at the Imperial Examination Station, so my subordinates had no choice but to get away first."
Erjiu said with a pale face: "After my subordinates escaped from the pursuit of the guards at the Imperial Examination Station, they returned to the Imperial Examination Station again. Unfortunately, it was still a step too late. When I went down, Qin Qin happened to have finished interrogating the prince. After he left, The subordinates quietly sneaked into the imperial prison cell, where... they saw the prince's body covered with scars!"
"That's unreasonable!" Yu An smashed the cup in his hand: "It's called judging people, but it's actually murder. That's a blood relative of my Yu clan royal family, and he was brutally beaten to death by him! Is there any royal law for this!"
When King Shunde heard that Gu Xiaotang had been beaten to death, his face was not only frightened and angry, but also filled with fear. He covered his chest and fell down with a pale face.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Yu'an quickly supported King Shunde. After seeing King Shunde completely fainted, he said calmly: "Go and call the doctor."
What he wants to get from King Shunde has not yet been obtained.
Erjiu, who had a sad look on his face just now, quickly changed his expression and turned around faster than flipping through a book: "Yes."
The lights illuminated the dark yellow paper. In the military general's house, Qin Qin spread out the papers from King Shunde's underground trading ground: "All the ledgers and letters have been moved. This place is no longer useful."
"Yes, it's just that we arrived late." Meng Yu held the lamp: "If it weren't for the fact that the Zuo branch army must be stationed on the outskirts of the city and is not allowed to enter the city, and the Beiyang army is the Yuhuang's private army and cannot be transferred from the palace, we If we had available troops, we wouldn't have allowed them to escape."
Speaking of the suburbs, Qin Qin thought of the corpses of all the people in the Shunde Palace found on the outskirts of the city last night when the Yi Air Force patrolled Jiuchong City.
He closed his eyes sadly and pressed his temples heavily with his fingers.
That day, he went to inspect the Shunde Palace. Except for taking away Gu Xiaotang, the eldest son of the Shunde Palace, and inspecting the Shunde Palace's secret room and study room, he also did not imprison the rest of the people. He did not imprison any of them. He just imprisoned them in the palace. What he was afraid of was King Shunde was so heartbroken that he killed people and silenced them.
But in the end, he still failed to guard against it.
Qin Qin thought of the tragic corpses, and they all died with their eyes open.
They didn't do anything wrong at all, they were just ordinary feathered people. It was just bad luck when they chose the master's family, so they ended up like this.
Meng Yu knew that he was uncomfortable and comforted him: "General, this is not your fault. You have tried your best. It was King Shunde who was obsessed with money and did not care about anything for the sake of his glory."
Desire is a shackle, and you are willing to be a running dog.
This was also the reason why Gu Ming suppressed the royal relatives of the Yu Clan. When Gu Nan was alive, although the Yu Clan seemed peaceful and peaceful on the surface, in fact, it was already in ruins.
The moths that are destroying this prosperous age are these greedy people, these condescending people, these people who care about human life.
"He doesn't care about anything." Qin Qin closed his eyes and said, "Tiger's poison does not eat its children, so he killed all his descendants."
Just a quarter of an hour after he left the prosecutor's office, a judge from the prosecutor's office caught up with him and informed him that Gu Xiaotang had died in that dirty cell after his body exploded.
Qin Qin was standing in the drifting heavy rain, shuddering.
Even though he had killed many people on the battlefield, he never felt that kind of chill.
Is this a blood relative of the Yu clan?
He thought of Gu Jian almost instantly.
When Gu Jian entered Jiuchong City to seize the throne, he took Gu Beilin away without hesitation, and the killing intent in his eyes did not waver at all.
The royal family has no blood relatives.
But he didn't want to believe it. After all, he had seen exceptions, and Gu Ming was that exception.
The royal family of the Yu clan does not distinguish between men and women.
Although Gu Ming is the eldest son, Gu Beilin's mother Gu An - Gu Ming's sister, Gu An's military achievements at that time were far superior to Gu Ming. Emperor Yu made a will during his lifetime that the throne was given to Gu An.
Later, during the battle between the Yu Clan and the Miao Clan, both Yu Emperor Gu An died, and only Gu Ming survived, but he never thought of taking the throne as his own.
After restoring the unification, he made Gu Beilin the crown prince, while he himself has been busy with government affairs and has never had any concubines, not to mention children.
Gu Ming always felt that he would return the throne to Gu Beilin one day.
There are so many interests in this world, and in the final analysis, it’s all about personal choices.
