Chapter 137 Shocking Change ([-])

Wu House.

It is rare for Langzhong Wu to have no banquet today, so he returned to the mansion early.

Wu Langzhong seems to be calm, but in reality he is full of worries.

Although the King of Yan didn't make much fanfare, but who in the Ministry of Households, who knows that His Highness King Yan is secretly investigating the accounts of the Ministry of Households for several years?
There is absolutely no problem in the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts on the surface, but the thief is guilty after all, and Wu Langzhong, who has always been bold, has been feeling impetuous recently.

As he stepped into the study, he ordered his entourage: "Go and invite a few gentlemen of the staff to come over, just say that I have something important to discuss..." As he spoke, his eyes habitually drifted to the potted orchids under the eaves.

These are his two most beloved pots of orchids, which he takes care of with his own hands on weekdays, and never leaves them to others.

The servants serving in the study all knew the master's temper, and no one dared to touch these two treasures at all.

and many more!

Who moved his orchids?
Wu Langzhong turned his footsteps, stepped forward quickly, and glanced at him, both startled and angry.

At first glance, it looks the same as usual, but Wu Langzhong, who "takes care" carefully every day, can see something strange at a glance.

The soil around the root of this orchid has obviously been moved!In one of the pots, the soil was obviously shallower.Something hidden in the soil... A strong sense of foreboding surged in Wu Lang's heart, and he stretched out his hand to dig into the soil forcefully, regardless of the long attendant still behind him.

The soil had been turned, and it didn't take much effort for the fingers to dig into the soil.

Sure enough, it was empty!

Wu Langzhong's face was extremely ugly, he suddenly turned his head and shouted angrily: "Go, call all the people serving in the study!"

The two long attendants had never seen their master lose their composure in such a fright, and they were also shocked, and immediately brought Guanshi Zhu and others over.

The two stewards and the three servants didn't know what to do, and knelt down on the ground shivering.

Wu Langzhong's eyes were fierce, and he slashed across the fearful faces of everyone like a sharp knife: "Why is there one missing? Where's Shuangfu?"

Manager Zhu didn't dare to raise his head, his voice was trembling: "Go back, Master, Shuang Fu sneaked out of the mansion in the morning and hasn't come back until now."

Time seemed to stand still for an instant.

Guanshi Zhu didn't look up, but he could sense the master's overwhelming anger.

Is it worthwhile for the master to lose his temper if a young man sneaks away and doesn't come back?

Steward Zhu bit his bullet and said, "It's the little one who is ineffective in managing things. When Shuangfu comes back, the little one will definitely be severely punished..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a scream!
He was kicked heavily in the chest, fell to the ground on his back, and the back of his head hit the solid ground with a thud, excruciating pain.But Guanshi Zhu didn't dare to cry out in pain.

Wu Langzhong's eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse because of excitement: "Come here, send someone to find Shuangfu immediately. If you want to see people, you need to see the dead body!"

With an order, more than a dozen guards on duty outside the study immediately scattered to search for someone.

What did this double blessing do?
Why is Wu Langzhong so angry?

The stewards were all frightened into silence.

This movement quickly alarmed Mr. Wu Ge.

Old Wu Ge, who was over [-] years old, walked to the eldest son's study with steady steps as his legs and feet were still sharp.

Seeing the chickens flying around in the study, Wu Ge's face darkened: "What are you panicking about? What happened?"

When Wu Langzhong saw Mr. Wu Ge, he finally couldn't hold it anymore, his eyes showed panic and fear: "Father, something is wrong! My potted orchid has been touched!"

Wu Gelao's face suddenly changed, and a stern look flashed in his eyes: "Who is it?"

"It's a boy named Shuangfu!" Wu Lang was so annoyed that he was about to bleed, and he gritted his teeth: "This bastard who eats inside and outside! When I catch him back, I will peel his skin!"

Before the words were finished, the steward of the concierge rushed to deliver a message: "It's not good! Commander Xue of Jinyi Guards led the troops and said that he came to invite the master into the palace to face the saint!"

Wu Langzhong's face suddenly changed!
Old Wu Ge frowned tightly, and quickly whispered: "Don't panic! Things are unclear, so don't get confused. When you enter the palace to face the saint, speak carefully, and don't talk nonsense."

Wu Langzhong's eyes showed panic: "Father, will the account book...will it fall into the hands of King Yan?"

Things happened suddenly, and the scheming Mr. Wu Ge was also distraught.However, as the second assistant, he has experienced far more storms than his son, and said in a deep voice: "I don't have time to think about this now. After entering the palace, we must play it right carefully."

"What account book, as long as it is not in the hands of the emperor, you will deny it."

In just a few words, the Jinyi Guards in flying fish suits and holding embroidered spring knives surrounded the commander Xue Lin of the Jinyi Guards.

Xue Lin was quite polite to Wu Ge's old father and son, and slightly cupped his hands: "The emperor has a decree, please come to the palace immediately to face the saint!"

Wu Langzhong took a deep breath and nodded.

The emperor only called Wu Langzhong, but not Wu Gelao.Elder Wu Ge was not allowed to enter the palace together.

Old Wu Ge watched helplessly as his eldest son was taken away by Jin Yiwei, feeling anxious.

He has been a cabinet scholar for more than ten years, and he knows Emperor Long'an's temper like the back of his hand.It's impossible for things to get better at this point.For the present plan, the only way is to unite with King Qin, save Wu Langzhong's life first, and then talk about other things!
"Come here, prepare the sedan chair, and go to Qin Wangfu immediately!"

Mr. Wu Ge rushed to the Prince Qin's mansion, but was in vain.

King Qin went to the palace after he went down to Yamen, and never went back to Prince Qin's mansion.

Old Wu Ge made a decisive decision and immediately entered the palace.

Unfortunately, when he arrived outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he was stopped by the kind-hearted and cold-hearted Eunuch Shen.

"Mr. Wu Ge, please wait a moment." Eunuch Shen said very politely: "Mr. Wu is interviewing the saint. When the emperor is free, our family will go in and communicate."

This Eunuch Shen is the most loyal and only has eyes for the Son of Heaven.Even the accounts of the princes are not bought.

No matter how anxious Wu Ge is, he can't force his way into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he can only wait outside patiently.

This wait is more than half an hour.

Wu Ge was old, and he just bowed and waited outside the hall, his body was trembling, and he looked quite pitiful.It's a pity that the Jinyi guards on duty outside the hall were as rock-hard as they were, and they were not moved at all.

Eunuch Shen finally came out again: "The emperor invites Mr. Wu Ge to enter the palace."

Wu Ge calmed down and stepped into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After entering the hall, Old Wu Ge glanced at him, and saw King Yan standing aside solemnly, and King Qin's expression was very ugly.And Wu Langzhong knelt on the ground with a miserable expression.

Emperor Long'an, who was sitting on the dragon chair, closed his dragon eyes.The imperial physician is giving acupuncture to the emperor.

Old Wu Ge didn't dare to disturb him, walked up to Langzhong Wu, and knelt down.

After a long time, Emperor Long'an opened his eyes and said coldly: "Come here, give the account book to Mr. Wu Ge, and let him see what kind of good son I have raised!"

When Mr. Wu Ge heard the word account book, his heart felt as if he had fallen to the bottom of the valley, and his whole body was cold.

Eunuch Shen brought the account book over: "Please take a look at Wu Ge."

Wu Ge's face was pale, and he took the account book with trembling hands. After reading only one page, he felt dizzy.

Finished!

It's all over!
