Chapter 161 The Death of Marquis Yong'an

Marquis Yong'an was very disappointed when he saw King Yan's stern expression.

A large part of Yan Wang's good life in the past few years was supported by him, but once he encountered some troubles, Yan Wang immediately showed an attitude of abandoning him, which made him really sad.

"I don't know yet. Meng Shiyu has been pretending to be dead. I don't know what evidence he got..."

Marquis Yong'an looked at King Yan, "So, I also ask the prince to deal with your majesty for me."

"Handling for you..." King Yan sneered, "I can't protect myself, how can I fight for you? Recently, my father has treated me very coldly, as if very disappointed..."

"Your Highness, as long as there is a noble concubine, your position will not be shaken. As long as I pass Meng Shiyu's test this time, I will be safe. From now on, I will still be your Majesty's support..." Marquis Yong'an said more than he said. Demonstrate your own importance.

"So you assassinated Meng Shiyu in the capital?" King Yan asked, staring at Marquis Yong'an.

"Assassinate Meng Shiyu..." Marquis Yongan shook his head, "I didn't. Your Highness didn't do it yourself. I heard that you like that Mrs. Meng very much..."

"This king will not do the stupid thing of assassinating the imperial court official on the streets of the capital!" King Yan shouted.

Marquis Yong'an looked at King Yan with a blank expression, and suddenly realized something.

"His Highness didn't do it, and the minister didn't do it, who else..." Marquis Yongan felt particularly bad.

"It was Meng Shiyu who assassinated himself."

"Yes, he designed it himself."

"Your Highness, this Meng Shiyu is not simple, it is too simple."

Marquis Yong'an suddenly felt enlightened and enlightened.

"Your Highness, this Meng Shiyu is definitely not alone."

"Several people related to this case in Texas have disappeared, and even the deputy inspector who went to Texas with him has also disappeared."

"This is not something he can do alone. There must be many people behind him supporting him."

"My people once encountered a group of masters, and they must also be Meng Shiyu."

"Your Highness, who is he? Didn't you investigate?"

"Benwang's natural investigation is very clear. He is an orphan brought back by a doctor in Xiuzhou. He only knows how to read. He won the first prize at the age of 16 and has a great reputation..."

"Your Highness, this time we will really be in trouble. One is that he is not simple, and the other is that there must be someone behind him to support him." Marquis Yong'an looked at King Yan, "He belongs to King Qin."

Yan Wang's eyes darkened, and he turned to Yong'anhou and said, "I know about your matter, so I will stay and have dinner with this king. After tomorrow morning, I will plead guilty to my father." ..."

Seeing that King Yan's attitude had changed, Marquis Yong'an relaxed a little.

King Yan may have been anxious just now.

Marquis Yong'an stayed for dinner, but he didn't expect that this would be the last dinner in his life.

It was too late for him to feel that something was wrong with his body.

"This food is poisonous..." Marquis Yongan looked at King Yan in shock.

"Cousin, don't blame this king. This king can't stand any more troubles. You are dead, and you will bear all the responsibilities. This is your final value to this king..." King Yan smiled sinisterly.

"Bastard, you are a beast..." Marquis Yongan cursed and stood up.

But the severe pain in his body seemed to have thousands of insects eating his internal organs. This pain made him unable to support his body at all.

He fell to the ground, spat out a mouthful of black blood, trembling all over, curled up on the ground, staring at King Yan with bloodshot eyes.

"This is your last value. You should be glad that you died well... If this king tells your father about the affair between you and your concubine, do you think you can die so happily?" King Yan said in a low voice.

"Am I your son?" King Yan suddenly asked.

"You... yes, no..." Marquis Yong'an's shocked eyes almost protruded from their sockets.

"Die with peace of mind, many secrets will be hidden when you die..." King Yan smiled coldly, "Because only the dead can better protect secrets..."

Marquis Yong'an died with regret.But death is death, and his body was sent back to the Hou Mansion.

The Marquis of Yong'an naturally also has a Marquis Mansion in the capital.

In the early morning of the second day, Yushi impeached King Yan for a while.

The doctor Yushi said, "Your Majesty, the country cannot live without a crown prince for a day. Please make a crown prince early, Your Majesty."

Soon, many people also began to write letters asking for the early establishment of the crown prince.

In addition, there are many officials who let King Yan become a vassal.

The meaning of the officials is obvious, that is, to establish King Qin as the crown prince, because King Qin is the legitimate son of the empress, and should succeed the crown prince.

But the emperor hated the queen and the queen's natal family very much.

He would never agree to make King Qin the crown prince.

But King Yan couldn't stand up again.Over the years, the persona he set up for King Yan completely collapsed because of a Li Yulou.

King Yan suddenly disappeared two months ago, and he couldn't be found. The imperial concubine died in a hurry and found the emperor.

The emperor had no choice but to send Jinwu Guards to investigate, and the investigation found the secret house of King Yan.

Inside, I found a lot of obscene toys, a group of naked women, and various unsightly portraits.

The male protagonists of the portraits are all Yan Wang, and the female protagonists are Li Yulou's head and other women's bodies.

The emperor was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Although the Jinwu Guards are the most loyal to him, most of them are the sons of the rich and powerful in the capital.

After these people see this, they still can't spread it to the outside world.

Although these hobbies of King Yan are not well known to everyone, all the officials in the capital know about them.

At this time, the emperor did not dare to make King Yan the crown prince.

In the court hall, the courtiers and the emperor refused to give in to each other, and the two sides quarreled fiercely. In the end, the emperor fainted directly in the court hall.

It was a big deal for the emperor to faint, and the whole court was in chaos.

Under the banner of building a century-old foundation for the Great Zhou Dynasty, those officials did not take the emperor's fainting seriously at all, and still asked for the establishment of a prince as soon as possible to stabilize the country.

Meng Shiyu locked himself in the study room early the next morning to write this note seriously, which is probably another masterpiece.

The entrance of the Meng Mansion was crowded with people, all of whom were students who wanted to see Meng Shiyu.

For a while, Meng Shiyu's reputation reached the peak of the sky, and the emperor fainted did not stop these students from worshiping Meng Shiyu with enthusiasm.

A shed was even set up at the gate of the Meng Mansion, and many vendors came here to sell pancakes, herbal tea, and roasted sweet potatoes...

Zhou Hong was originally the only one who could knock on the door of the Meng family, but Anping County took the initiative to get pregnant, Zhou Hong did not dare to leave even a single step, and hated King Yan deeply in his heart.

Zhou Ying came to see Li Yulou, and got a lot of benefits at the door, such as deer antler, snow lotus, ginseng...

"Your house is busier than a vegetable shop..." Zhou Ying said with a smile when she saw Li Yulou.

"I didn't know that Shi Yu's influence was so great." Li Yulou smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand to hold the hand of his best friend and walked inside, "The wedding is coming soon, and I didn't do anything for you, and even asked you to come here Look at me."

After being assassinated in the capital, Li Yulou naturally didn't dare to go out casually.

"You are still polite between us. When I heard that you went to Texas, I almost died of anxiety. I cried several times, but you didn't send me a letter..." Zhou Ying grumbled road.

"I left in a hurry, all I could think about was Shi Yu, I didn't think so much, I'm sorry, Aying..." Li Yulou laughed along.

"Okay, because you value sex over friends... I don't care about you." Zhou Ying said generously.

"Where do I have..." Li Yulou blushed and blamed.

"By the way, what happened in Dezhou?" Zhou Ying's gossiping thoughts gained the upper hand again.

So Li Yulou told Zhou Ying what he had encountered in Dezhou, especially exaggerating the deep love between Yuniang and Ma Yushi.

Zhou Ying likes to hear such stories, and sure enough, she shed a handful of tears because of the love between Ma Yushi and Yuniang after hearing it.

"It's too bad..." Zhou Ying gritted her teeth.

Li Yulou said, "Fortunately, we finally buried them together."

"They can be regarded as lovers who finally get married, and they will be together forever in the future."

Zhou Ying didn't want to talk about this sad topic anymore, and instead said, "Fortunately, Meng Shiyu is fine. I'm worried to death. If something happens to him, I don't know how sad you will be."

"Actually, when I left the capital, I knew that Shi Yu was fine. He sent me a message back, but I was still worried about him, so I went to him." Li Yulou said.

"Since there are rumors that he died, he must have been assassinated. I can't just sit at home and wait, so I might as well find him for peace of mind. Otherwise, I don't know how I'm going to spend the past two months."

"Let's not talk about that, how are your wedding preparations going?" Li Yulou asked.

"It's almost ready." Zhou Ying was a little shy when talking about her wedding, "My brother Wu's wedding has been postponed, and I'm not even interested in getting married anymore."

"You don't have to think too much, don't be nervous, when that day comes, you don't have to do anything, just be a marionette until night..." Li Yulou smiled secretively.

Zhou Ying seemed to know what Li Yulou meant, her cheeks turned redder, her eyebrows lowered, and she asked in a low voice, "Does that matter hurt? I heard that it hurts especially the first time."

"It was a little bit at first, but Brother Wu likes you so much, he will take pity on you, so don't be afraid." Li Yulou said with a smile.

Zhou Ying stretched out her hand shyly and patted Li Yulou's arm.

When Zhou Ying came to visit Li Yulou, the body of Hou Yong'an was found in the Hou's mansion.

"People died in their own womb, how did they die?" The emperor asked suspiciously after listening to Eunuch Li's report that Marquis Yong'an had died in his own mansion.

"Your Majesty, I don't know the details yet. I have already reported to Dali Temple. The Minister of Dali Temple took his assistant to the post-mortem examination. The results should be available soon." Eunuch Li replied.

"A Marquis suddenly died in his own mansion, so Dali Siqing should investigate the matter thoroughly. Besides, shouldn't Marquis Yong'an be in Dezhou? Why did he suddenly die in his mansion in the capital?" the emperor frowned.

"Your Majesty, the reason for this can only be understood when the Secretary of Dali Temple investigates the case clearly." Li Gonggong said.

At the same time, Xiao Qi entered Meng Shiyu's study.

"What are you so anxious about?" Meng Shiyu asked in a low voice.

When he was doing things, he didn't like to be disturbed by others.

"Master, Marquis Yong'an is dead, he died in his own mansion, and the cause of death is still unknown. Dali Siqing has brought someone to investigate, and it should be found out soon." Xiao Qi said.

"Hurry up and check, who did the Marquis of Yong'an meet after he entered Beijing?" Meng Shiyu said.

Xiao Qi agreed, turned and left the study.

Meng Shiyu put down the pen in his hand, stood up and paced back and forth on the ground for a quarter of an hour, then sat down again, tore up everything he had written before, and started to sort out the whole case again.

After Dali Siqing investigated the case, he knelt in the emperor's study.

"Has the matter been investigated clearly?" The emperor sat behind the dragon case, looking at Dali Siqing with burning eyes.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Yong'an died by taking poison, but it is impossible to find out whether he committed suicide or homicide, but I have already investigated clearly. Before he died, he sneaked into the palace to meet the imperial concubine and empress. Also, after leaving the palace, he went to the Yan Palace , met His Royal Highness Yan Wang. Then he died in the mansion, but he was carried into the mansion after he died." Dali Siqing continued with a firm tone, "Yong'an Hou's mansion is not the first place where Yong'an Hou died. Where did he die and who was carried into his mansion, I haven't found out yet."

The emperor's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the matter was already clear. Although Dali Siqing didn't say anything, he had already told him that the death of Marquis Yong'an was inseparable from King Yan and the imperial concubine.

"Who else knows about this?" the emperor asked after thinking for a long time.

"Several officials from Dali Temple, as well as the autopsy..." Dali Temple Secretary replied.

"Don't tell anyone else about this, I know about it," said the emperor.

Naturally, Dali Temple Minister would not tell anyone. When he found out that the death of Yong'an Hou was related to the king and the imperial concubine, he knew that the matter was of great importance, after all, it involved the royal family.Royal is no small matter.

However, the death of Marquis Yong'an has been widely circulated, and many people think that he committed suicide in fear of crime.

Therefore, the door of Meng Shiyu's house is much larger than the previous ones, with three layers inside and three layers outside.

Many people are waiting for the results of Meng Shiyu's investigation in Dezhou. If he finds substantive evidence, then Yong'an Hou Weizui's suicide will be confirmed.

"Ma'am, what should we do? There are too many people around, the main gate, the corner gate, and everywhere are full of people. It is very difficult for us to go out and buy vegetables. Why don't you ask the young master how to deal with this matter? "The butler came in to ask for instructions.

Li Yulou nodded, took some snacks, made a pot of tea and went into the study.

Meng Shiyu's face was haggard, her hair was disheveled, and her lips were chapped.

But he wasn't writing anything, but was sitting on a chair in a daze.

"Have you finished writing?" Li Yulou came in and asked him softly, and poured a cup of tea for him, holding it to his lips.

Meng Shiyu nodded, "I'm done... I'm hesitating whether to submit the whole case."

"Why do you hesitate?" Li Yulou looked at Meng Shiyu and asked.

"Because the matter is of great importance, you and I are likely to be decapitated once it is submitted. Even your father will be implicated. Also, this is a slap in the face of His Majesty, and it is Papa's slap. What will His Majesty do? Come on, I can't predict it now." Meng Shiyu said.
