Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 218 Killing the Father
Zhu Yunhui, who was working hard on Qin's body, didn't hear anyone coming in at all. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain under his left rib, and he staggered to the side, and a roar came from his ear: "You bastard! ! This king will kill you today!"

The naked Zhu Yunhui hurriedly turned over and got up to take a closer look. Standing in front of the bed was his father Zhu Huakui, king of Chu, Liu Fugui stood behind him, and his two guards knelt aside and did not dare to look up.

"Naughty animal! Put on your robes and get out!"

After Zhu Huakui kicked his son away from Qin's body, he glared at Zhu Yunhui with hatred, then turned and left the bedroom panting heavily, followed closely by Liu Fugui; Qin, whose face was full of tears, Shi hurriedly pulled the brocade quilt over to cover his head, and Zhu Yunhui grabbed the robe on the bed in embarrassment to cover his body and jumped out of bed.

Zhu Yunhui was wearing a robe with a gloomy face, and her mind was also spinning rapidly: I never thought that someone would dare to report the news!The king father already had the idea of ​​abolishing himself, and this time his position as the son of the eldest son is no longer guaranteed.If he imprisoned his mother and concubine and let his father know about the killing of his younger brother, it is not only a matter of the position of the son, but whether he can live is another matter.

Thinking of this, a vicious thought rose from Zhu Yunhui's heart. He beckoned Li San over and whispered in his ear: "Li San, I treat you well! Today's affairs will definitely be difficult! If Gu is gone There is a way to live, and you are going to die! When you leave the palace later, you will find an opportunity to kill Zhu Huakui! The position of king of Chu can only be lonely! The head of the palace guards is yours! I will reward you with another 1 taels of silver!"

After Li San heard the words, he was both happy and afraid, his expression changed, and he finally calmed down, gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely.

Zhu Yunhui nodded and left Zhu Yunlong's bedroom with his head up. Li San took out a short blade with a sheath from his arms, pulled out the sharp blade, lifted his robe and inserted it into the boot, and then put the scabbard into his arms , and another guard bowed their heads and followed behind Zhu Yunhui.

On the brocade couch in the side hall, Zhu Yunlong, who was already furious, was lying on it with his eyes closed, a doctor from the palace was frowning and feeling his pulse, while Zhu Huakui looked at him with his hands behind his back, his face livid Three sons.

After hearing Liu Fugui's report, he immediately rushed over with the doctor who was waiting in the Thousand Buddha Hall and a group of guards.The two strong men riding on Zhu Yunlong's body had already noticed when they entered the yard. The two reacted very quickly. They got up from Zhu Yunlong's body and slipped directly from the back hall.They just wanted to run for their lives, and they didn't dare to shout to remind Zhu Yunhui in the bedroom, because if they made a sound, they would be discovered by the guards brought by Zhu Huakui, and they would definitely be hunted down; Don't worry, hurry up and sneak out of the palace, staying here will only lead to death.

Zhu Huakui led a group of people into the hall, and the first thing he saw was Zhu Yunlong lying prone on the ground. After scanning around, Zhu Huakui didn't find Zhu Yunhui and Qin's figure, so he immediately walked to the bedroom on the side. With the scene just now.

Seeing Zhu Yunhui coming into the hall, Zhu Huakui pointed at Zhu Yunhui and scolded angrily: "Nonsense animal! Kneel down for Gu! Come on! Beat and kill this evil animal for Gu!"

Several guards rushed towards Zhu Yunhui quickly, but they didn't hold weapons in their hands.Although the prince said that he wanted to kill the prince, the group of guards did not dare to go up and killed Zhu Yunhui on the spot. Now that the prince is angry with the order, he may go back on his word after a while. After all, the family is a biological father and son connected by blood.

Zhu Yunhui knelt down on the ground without waiting for several guards to approach, and shouted loudly: "Father! Listen to my son's decomposition! It was the Qin family who seduced me several times, and my son was wronged!"

Zhu Huakui sneered under extreme anger: "You evil animal! You still want to slander others when you are about to die! Gu Shi can see it clearly! The tears are still on Qin's face! If she seduces you, why is she so sad? If I don’t kill you, a violating beast today, how can I face the people in the palace! What are you doing in a daze! Why don’t you kill this beast!”

Zhu Yunhui didn't expect his father to see the matter clearly in just a short moment just now. He saw that several guards had drawn out their long knives after hesitation, and the next step was to come up and kill himself under the knives. Then he continued to shout: "Father, my son has a top-secret secret! It is about the safety of my Chu Palace! A small cold and fever will toss for more than a month, please listen to my father!"

As he shouted, he waved his hand behind his back lightly. After understanding, Li San quietly moved his steps forward and at the same time secretly pulled out the short blade from the shaft of his boot and held it upside down behind his arm. The attention of several guards in the palace They were all distracted by Zhu Yunhui's words, so they didn't pay attention to Li San who was approaching quietly.

Zhu Huakui knew that Zhu Yunhui was not very wise, he was just a greedy and lustful person, and he didn't look like a liar, so he didn't suspect him, and walked towards Zhu Yunhui.

"Naughty animal! If you continue to fabricate lies to deceive Gu! Gu will order someone to put you in the mastiff garden! You will be bitten by that fierce dog!"

While speaking, Zhu Huakui approached Zhu Yunhui a few steps away. Zhu Yunhui walked forward on his knees and then suddenly jumped on him and hugged his legs tightly, shouting: "Li San! Do it!"

Li San, who had already moved a few steps behind Zhu Yunhui, rushed forward suddenly. In a flash of cold light, the sharp short blade pierced Zhu Huakui's heart and dodged away. Zhu Yunhui let go of his father's arms and quickly When he got up, Zhu Huakui stared angrily, with an inconceivable expression on his face, he fell straight to the ground and died.

The hall suddenly became quiet, except for Zhu Yunhui and Li San, the rest of the people stood on the spot blankly, no one thought that the tragedy of patricide would happen in front of them, and it was a high-ranking family like the Chu Palace.

"Hahahaha! From today on, Gu is the king of Chu! From now on, there will be no one who opposes Gu!! Hahahaha!"

Zhu Yunhui danced like a madman.

"My lord! Li Langzhong! Save my lord!"

Liu Fugui shouted in despair and rushed over, ignoring Zhu Yunhui who was in ecstasy, knelt down on both knees and lifted Zhu Huakui's upper body into his arms, tears rolled down, falling on Zhu Huakui and slowly cooling down face.

He has been with Zhu Huakui, who was still the heir of the Prince of Chu at that time, since he was eight years old. During the past thirty years of getting along day and night, the two of them are like relatives. Liu Fugui is heartbroken when he encounters such a tragedy today. die.

Li Langzhong, who was treating Zhu Yunlong, ran over with the medicine box, put down the medicine box, grabbed Zhu Huakui's wrist, clapped his fingers together, shook his head at Liu Fugui, and then sighed: "The prince is dead!"

Liu Fugui hugged Zhu Huakui's body and wept bitterly.Zhu Yunhui finally woke up from the ecstasy. He raised his finger and pointed to everyone in the hall and shouted: "You don't kneel down yet! From now on, I will be the King of Chu! My father suddenly died suddenly, and I will go to the Biaozong The people's government made it clear! From now on, as long as you are loyal to Gu, Gu will definitely treat you well! Today, everyone in the hall will reward you with 100 taels of silver!"

It's not that he didn't want to kill everyone except Li San and the others, but seeing that Zhu Huakui brought seven or eight guards, and there were several eunuchs outside the hall, all of them had anger, surprise, and anger on their faces. The expression of dissatisfaction, if he wants to silence him, Li San and the other person are no match at all.The most urgent thing to do is to stabilize everyone first, seal all the gates of the palace, and then look for opportunities to eliminate the others one by one.

"The villain congratulates the son on succeeding to the throne of King Chu! The villain swears allegiance to His Highness to the death!"

Li San and another guard knelt down first, and bowed to Zhu Yunhui; although the guard brought by Zhu Huakui was unwilling, but never had the courage to commit the crime. After looking at each other, hesitantly knelt down They got down, but all of them bowed their heads in silence.

Li Langzhong returned to Zhu Yunlong's side, pretending to continue to diagnose and treat King Hanyang, but his mind turned.

Several eunuchs, big and small, outside the hall also knelt down one after another. The little eunuch who was going to report to the Thousand Buddha Hall tiptoed along the long corridor to the front hall. People pay attention to him.

Zhu Yunhui saw that everyone showed no resistance on the surface, but who knew what would happen behind the scenes?The most important thing is that today's events must not be known by more people, let alone spread outside the house. Once the outsiders know about his patricide, what awaits him will be ruined.

He rolled his eyes and ordered loudly: "You and I will be saved! Unfortunately, the father died here today, so I decided to stay here for seven days to guard the spirit of the father! Within seven days, everyone in the hall is not allowed to leave! Li Three, you go to the ancestral hall to ask people to prepare for the funeral, and invite some people to come to help take care of the father and queen's funeral!"

At the end, Zhu Yunhui looked at Li San and winked at him, Li San understood and got up and walked out of the side hall.

He knew that Zhu Yunhui wanted him to go to Wuchang City to recruit people, and when he came back, he would kill all the people in the hall and completely cover up the truth about Zhu Huakui's death.

"His Royal Highness, the King of Hanyang is probably dying!"

Li Langzhong got up slowly and said.
