The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 187 Cleaned Up (Fourth Update)

Zhao Lu pulled up his clothes and knelt down, "My son is unfilial, and my father and mother are worried."

Zhao Jinghuai's face darkened, "Get up and talk first."

Zhao Lu pursed his lips, "Yes."

At this time, there were no outsiders, only the three of them, and there was no need to hide some words. Zhao Jinghuai asked straight to the point: "Did you kill the beggar? Well, why did you kill a beggar? And you put the dagger down." There... you!"

He reached out his hand and nodded Zhao Lu, hating iron for being weak.

Mentioning this matter, Mrs. Sun looked at Zhao Lu disapprovingly, "Yes, Lu'er, he's just a beggar. If you don't like it, you can pay someone to beat him to vent your anger. Why do you do it yourself? ? What is it for?"

Under the watchful eyes of his parents, Zhao Lu sighed, and said in a low voice: "Father, mother, you all know that person."

"How do we know? A beggar..."

The voice stopped abruptly, Sun thought of something, and stood up suddenly, his face turned pale, "You mean—"

"That's the man."

Zhao Lu nodded.

Seeing this, Zhao Jinghuai was not calm any more. He moved his body and frowned, "It's him? Didn't he go back to Bingzhou? Didn't the place be cleaned up and no one was left alive? How did he come out? He came to see you?"

"Yes, my son doesn't know how long he has been in the capital. I happened to meet him yesterday. It was a coincidence. I ran into him once in the alley over there. He recognized me and dragged me to refuse. Let go, asked me why, and asked me if I asked someone to set the fire. I saw that his words became more and more outrageous, and he was about to shake out all those things. In desperation, I just... just... I At first I didn't want to kill him directly, but at that time, my blood was hot, and I was afraid that he would go out and yell..."

Zhao Lu finally tore off the peaceful mask before, revealing the restless flesh and blood inside.

Zhao Jinghuai and Mrs. Sun looked at each other after hearing this, and their expressions were both ugly.

"If that's the case...he deserves to be killed!" As soon as Sun changed her weak appearance just now, a stern look flashed across her face.

Zhao Jinghuai's eyes were dark and bottomless: "It would be fine if he died in Bingzhou, but he died in Kyoto, in front of the regent, and it will be difficult to deal with it now."

Zhao Lu hurriedly said: "Father, don't worry, the son has left no other evidence except the dagger, the man has no identity certificate on him, and the fire in Bingzhou burned him clean, he is already dead, as long as we If you don’t mess around, you have nothing to be afraid of.”

"I've already told them that I was drinking too much and mistakenly killed me. They should have fooled it now. Anyway, even if they go to investigate, the classmates who drank with me that day can testify that I did drink that day. Quite a few, they won't make things difficult for me, a son of the Marquis Mansion, because of a beggar, right?"

"Are you sure you've been fooled? The regent is not an ordinary person. He didn't see anything?"

"Prince Regent..." Zhao Lu thought of Xiao Yu's cold and playful eyes, feeling uncertain, "I feel like he doesn't trust me very much, but he has no evidence, as long as I killed him by mistake, he can't do anything to me .”

"Yes, if he insists on it, the Rongguo government is not a vegetarian. There is no law in Daqian that stipulates that he must pay for his life if he is drunk and accidentally kills a beggar! Even if he is the regent, he can't cover the sky with one hand! "

Sun patted the armrest of the chair with awe-inspiring manner.

Zhao Jinghuai glanced at her, "Madam be careful, be careful not to be overheard by others."

Sun paused, leaned back on the chair back, "Got it."

"Then what should we do now? I don't know what they can find out..."

Mrs. Sun pinched the center of her brows wearily, "If it wasn't for the sudden departure of the first emperor, I wouldn't have fallen into this embarrassing situation. On the contrary, the gain outweighs the loss, and I'm worried all day long."

Thinking of this, Zhao Jinghuai felt a bit of a headache, and said irritably: "At the beginning, no one expected that His Majesty would die suddenly... Forget it, why do you mention him in the past? The most urgent thing is to think carefully about whether there will be another one. If there are any mistakes, deal with them quickly, and you must not be caught by the regent, otherwise, I am afraid that he will take the opportunity to make trouble."

Zhao Lu frowned, "Father means—"

"Don't forget, we are backed by the Rongguo Mansion, but he has a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. He didn't have the opportunity to take the Rongguo Mansion before. Once that matter is found out, let alone us, the Rongguo Mansion will not be able to escape. !"

Sun gritted her teeth, "Lu'er, think about it quickly, is there any evidence left?"

Zhao Lu pondered for a moment, then shook his head resolutely: "When the matter was accomplished, all the evidence was destroyed, and there was no grass in Bingzhou. I don't know how he was so lucky to escape, but he escaped. It's good to come out, die clean, and never suffer from future troubles."

His sinister eyes were quite different from those just now, but Zhao Jinghuai nodded without any surprise: "You still can't take it lightly, but you should not go out recently, so as not to be targeted, I will deal with this matter."

"The son understands, it's hard work for the father."

Zhao Jinghuai stood up, shook his head, "Go back and rest."

"Yes."

Zhao Lu stood in front of the door for a while, put on his usual kind appearance, and then opened the door and walked out.

……

Datong Academy is located on the hillside of Zhulu Mountain outside the capital city. The gate of the mountain is very imposing. There is a stone tablet at the gate, with a sentence engraved on it: "Wen was born to be proud, and would not bow to power. dog."

Xiao Yu read it once, then smiled lightly and said, "Interesting, who wrote this question?"

The book boy who was sweeping the floor turned his head and looked over when he heard the movement, and looked Xiao Yu up and down a few times, "Who are you?"

Han Yi took a step forward and took out his driver's token, the book boy frowned: "Why is it you again? Didn't you come here this morning?"

Seeing his bad tone, Han Yi was not annoyed, and raised his voice, "I brought His Majesty's handbook."

Shutong: "...What about him?"

Seeing him pointing at Xiao Yu, Han Yi's eyes sharpened: "Presumptuous, this is the Prince Regent."

The book boy was stunned, then put down the broom, cupped his hands and said: "So it's the prince, the villain has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, and I hope the prince will forgive me."

"It's okay, this king is here for important matters, and asked to see the dean, I wonder if it's convenient for him now?"

"The dean said that if this lord takes His Majesty's handbook, he can go directly to the library, and there is no need to tell him. He wants to see a little friend."

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "Little friend? It must be not an ordinary person to be interviewed by the dean in person."

The book boy scratched his head, seeing Xiao Yuyan laughing at Yanyan, it seemed that he was not the same as the rumored treacherous official who coerced the emperor to make the princes, and he felt a little better, so he spoke more politely.
