Following this loud shout, dozens of fully armed soldiers filed in from outside the door and separated on both sides.
Then a group of waiters came in, surrounded by a middle-aged man wearing a crown and a crown.
"Han Yin, who is engaged in Yangzhou, kowtows to the King of Fuling!" Han Yin was the first to kowtow and kneel down.
Mrs. Wu was surprised, and Chen Bao wiped his eyes vigorously with some disbelief.
But the person who came was absolutely authentic, it was Liu She, the eighth generation king of Fuling, descendant of Liu Yan, son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Han clan.
Mrs. Wu hurriedly pulled Xiao Sun Kuang and Xiao Sun Yi and knelt down on the ground: "The daughter of the people, Mrs. Wu, has met the King of Fuling."
Mrs. Wu kowtowed, and Chen Bao finally realized what he was doing. He hurriedly took back his sword again, knelt on the ground and said, "Chen Bao, the captain in front of the tent under the command of General Xian Kou, comes to see the King of Fuling."
The princes and kings of the Eastern Han Dynasty could only collect food, clothing, taxes and rent, but could not govern the people and had no real power.
But after all, they are descendants of the royal family, with special status and respected status.
Everyone inside and outside the courtyard knelt down and shouted for a thousand years.
Yuan Yao was the last to react.
Of course he did it on purpose, he didn't even bother to kneel to the so-called King of Fuling.
I saw him casually cupping his hands, slowly bending his knees, making a kneeling gesture.
Fuling King Liu She took one look and knew that Yuan Yao was deliberately perfunctory like last night.
But Liu She didn't dare to let Yuan Yao really kneel down and kowtow to him.
Even though he is regarded as a noble king of the clan and a nobleman of Tianhuang, in fact he is just a beggar now.
There are more than a hundred households in Fuling Prince's Mansion. Whether they can have enough food and clothing every day depends on Yuan Shu's mood.
If Yuan Shu is in a good mood, he will ask Fuling Prime Minister to allocate some from the land rent tax to the Fuling Palace; if Yuan Shu is in a bad mood, then I'm sorry, you can pawn the pawns yourself and find a way to tighten your belt to live.
In fact, it was not just the Fuling Kingdom. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, most of the feudal princes and kings lost the right to collect rent and taxes.
In fact, this is easy to understand. They cannot appoint or remove feudal officials, and they have no soldiers. How can they keep their money bags under the watchful eyes of various warlords?
It would be great if you can save your family’s lives!
If Liu She didn't want his family to starve to death or die at the hands of "bandits", he would have to fawn over the Yuan family and his son all the time.
Seeing Yuan Yao trying to kneel down, Liu She instinctively stretched out his hand. But in front of everyone, he didn't help Yuan Yao like he did last night. He could only retract his hand angrily and pretended to be dignified: "Everyone, get up, no courtesy!"
Yuan Yao immediately stood up with his legs straightened and his chest raised.
Everyone thanked him in unison: "Thank you, King Fuling, for your kindness."
Mrs. Wu stood up with the help of the old servant, but did not notice that Yuan Yao never knelt down from beginning to end.
She took a step forward, leaned towards Liu She and said, "Your Highness, the daughter of the people has something to report!"
Liu She was a little surprised. He just followed Yuan Yao's instructions and came here to watch a good show.
But no one told him that he was here to receive a lawsuit and resolve the case.
"If you have a complaint, please notify the Prime Minister and he will try it. I will not prosecute the case."
Mrs. Wu bit her lip: "Your Highness, the Prime Minister cannot hear this matter, because... what the daughter of the people wants to sue is the murder of the Prime Minister!"
Liu She was startled: "This is not nonsense. The Prime Minister had a banquet with me yesterday. How could he be killed today?"
Mrs. Wu glanced at Han Yin and other people with hateful eyes, and said firmly: "My servant saw this with his own eyes. The head of the Prime Minister was thrown on the street. It is absolutely true!"
Liu She took a deep breath and said: "Ms. Wu, it is not a small crime to make irresponsible remarks about the life and death of a minister. You should think about it before you say anything!"
Mrs. Wu glanced at the old servant next to her again, and when she saw the old servant nodded heavily, she said firmly: "Whether the civilian girl is talking nonsense, Your Highness will find out after sending someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Liu She turned his head to look at Yuan Yao and others, then turned back and said: "In that case, who are you suing for murder?"
Mrs. Wu raised her arm and pointed directly at Han Yin.
"He is the envoy!"
Liu She was surprised: "You said Han Zhongzhang killed the Prime Minister?"
"That's right." Mrs. Wu pointed at Yuan Yao again, "It was Han Zhengzhi who instigated this attendant to kill the Prime Minister!"
"Everyone in the courtyard heard what he said just now!"
Liu She was shocked: "You mean, Han Zhengzheng ordered him to kill Gu's prime minister?"
Mrs. Wu nodded heavily.
At this time, only by muddying the water can he and his children escape.
But you have to be careful when identifying the murderer. Han Yin must have been instructed by Yuan Shu to bring people to detain Quan'er and I as hostages in order to control Ce'er.
That's why they dared to kill Prime Minister Fuling directly, who had an old relationship with the Sun family.
But at this time, Yuan Shu must not be involved in this matter.
If the King of Fuling knew that it was Yuan Shu who did it, he would definitely get away with it. But if Han Yin was the chief envoy, perhaps the King of Fuling would also reprimand Han Yin for his misdeeds because his prime minister died in a feudal country for no apparent reason.
As Yuan Shu's minion, Han Yin naturally did not dare to speak out about Yuan Shu's instructions under such circumstances.
Taking the mother and brother of his general as a hostage, and killing the prime minister of a country with a rank of two thousand dan, no matter which of these two things is revealed, it will have an extremely negative impact on Yuan Shu's reputation.
If Han Yin dared to tell who instigated him in public, then the person behind it would not mind having one more corpse involved.
Mrs. Wu was not just an empty vase, but was married to Sun Jian as his wife because of her talent and beauty.
Although all aspects have been taken into consideration, there is still a difficulty in completely muddying the waters before us, and that is whether Han Yin will admit that he sent people to kill the Prime Minister of Fuling.
After all, Mrs. Wu now has no evidence at all to prove that Han Yin killed the Prime Minister.
And Han Yin is not a fool, and he will definitely not admit this to himself.
If you want to muddy the waters, you have to start with the unscrupulous and unbridled attendant just now.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wu took another step forward and looked directly at Yuan Yao.
At this time Liu She also looked at Yuan Yao.
Yuan Shu is my elder brother, and you are my younger brother. You really don’t want to kill the prime minister of a country!
It is a great sin for the princes and kings of the feudal country if the prime minister of the country dies in the feudal country!
There is no way to explain it to the emperor and the court!
If you really kill someone, then I can only...
Turn a blind eye.
Yuan Yao was a little frightened by the sight.
Being looked at by a woman means that I am attractive. Why are you, Liu She, an old man looking at me?
I heard that you are nearly forty years old and have no children.
Are you an old glass person?
"Mrs. Wu, although I am very handsome, you don't have to look at me all the time."
Yuan Yao said this to Mrs. Wu on the surface, but in fact he said it to Liu She.
Mrs. Wu stared at Yuan Yao with her beautiful eyebrows and asked seriously: "Are you... a man?"
ah?
Are you attracted to me?
Is she trying to seduce me to protect Sun Quan and those younger sons?
Please, I'm not Cao Mengde! I have no interest in widows!
"Mrs. Wu, what do you mean? Am I not a man or a woman?"
Mrs. Wu asked word by word: "I'm asking, are you a man?"
Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, then immediately puffed up his chest and said: "Of course!"
Mrs. Wu: "A man of seven feet tall should stand up to the sky and the earth!"
Yuan Yao patted his chest: "I'm eight feet tall!"
Mrs. Wu: "When a man is alive, he must dare to think and act!"
Yuan Yao raised his head: "Who else could I be!"
Mrs. Wu: "As a man, you must dare to take action!"
Yuan Yao shook his hair: "It's necessary!"
Mrs. Wu: "Did you kill the Prime Minister of Fuling?"
Yuan Yao: "I killed him!"
Mrs. Wu clapped her hands and said to Liu She, "Isn't this the end?"
"Reporting to King Fuling, the murderer has confessed. Please, Your Highness, issue an order immediately to arrest this man and bring him to justice!"
