Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 180 The Third Prince

The reality is that the weak prey on the strong, and only those who have power can stand on the top and overlook all living beings. Those who fail will only be used, so before they are killed, they have long forgotten what morality is.

Hu Yun was not the first person to be killed by mistake, and there were too many incidents of suspected "spies from neighboring countries" in the past few months.

However, because of the honorable status of the third prince, the government will not conduct in-depth investigations into certain missing persons. Therefore, some things will not be recorded in the file and will not be made public unless there is any conclusive evidence...

The moonlight is hidden in the dark clouds.

A bone-piercing night wind swept across the palace, biting the pitch black night.

The third prince returned to Chongyang Palace on the night breeze. Although he was wearing a fox fur, he could hardly feel the existence of his fingers and toes.

He cursed secretly, he had to go out in this freezing weather.

He could smell nothing but the smell of wet earth on the wind.

Except for the howling wind, he couldn't hear anything in his ears.

However, he always felt that there were traces of enemies hidden in every dark corner wherever he went.

His nerves were highly tense, and he only relaxed when he stepped into the inner room. He closed the door from behind, shutting out the cold air.

As soon as the third prince entered the room, he saw the sixteenth prince Tuoba Xin reclining on his soft couch playing with a crossbow.

There was also a dead cat lying on the table, and a rabbit with arrows stuck in its body and twitching ears.

Countless arrows were stuck in the table, chairs, and even the beams and pillars beside it, looking like a wasteland with overgrown weeds.

Seeing this scene, the Third Prince couldn't help frowning.

He could only hear the sixteenth prince cursing the dying rabbit while loading the crossbow with arrows. He seemed very angry, and the arrow he shot out of anger almost hit the third prince's crotch.

The third prince was furious: "If you want to hunt, go to the hunting ground, don't dirty my land."

"Hey, Brother Three Emperors, don't be angry, I'm not going to try this new bow, so that I can fight for [-] rounds in the hunting ground next time." The sixteenth prince showed his signature sarcasm smile, "I see your face Not good, how are things?"

"Father scolded me today, and then I finally pushed the mess to Lao Jiu." A trace of emotion flashed in the third prince's eyes.

"Really?" The sixteenth prince's eyes flashed narrowly, and he glanced at the third prince nonchalantly, "Brother Sanhuang, thank you for your hard work. Brother Ninth Emperor, that idiot, should do more. I heard Concubine Lian has been helping him find a concubine, and she only picks girls from mountain villages, haha, he is blessed."

"Blessed?" The third prince looked at him meaningfully for a while, and then said: "Don't say anything bad about him, if your father listens to it, and presses those messy things to me, it will be so bad Depressed, let me tell you that I have already informed the people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice that I have made trouble secretly, Lao Jiu will definitely not be able to handle this matter, and the result will be even more chaotic than when I made it."

"Leave him alone, shall we go hunting tomorrow? The prey is ready." If anyone in this world armed himself with violence that killed innocent and weak people, that person must be the Sixteenth Prince.

"Hmph, let's do it tomorrow, today I was scolded by my father, I want the 'prey' to be him..." As he spoke, the third prince made a beheading gesture on his neck.

The sixteenth prince understood, and he nodded. What the third prince meant was to hunt and kill those captured "prey" as emperors.

"Is there any problem with the source of the 'prey' this time?" The third prince suddenly stared at the sixteenth prince, and said, "It's because of Kane Hu that kind of ghost who ran to the prince's brother to chew his tongue, and the prince's brother was in front of his father. The emperor scolded me, recently, let's keep a low profile and don't pick too obvious targets."

The sixteenth prince said mysteriously: "Don't worry, Brother Sanhuang, those 'prey' were all used the most powerful mandala pollen. I quietly went to Wang Taiyi to steal it, and absolutely no one would know."

More than ten years ago, Kanehu was introduced to the emperor by the father-in-law An Bisheng who was next to the empress. It was originally just a small position for idle food. As a result, Kanehu used the least amount of money to get the most lucrative return. The expenses are huge, and the emperor spends money like water. A person like Kanehu who can easily grind gold and silver from two silvers to three silvers is naturally a rare talent. Those stern finance ministers in the past, now the revenue of the treasury is increasing ten times faster than in the past because of Kanehu.

In order to fill the treasury, Kanehu was reused and skyrocketed. The emperor would not dispose of him casually, after all, he sent all the money to the palace.

The emperor never questioned Kanehu, why?
Kanehu is not a threat to the emperor, he only wants to make money, his ingenuity is used in business, and he is always smiling, kind, and everyone's friend, of course, the emperor's friend.

Kanehu is very good at talking, and the emperor can always be coaxed to be happy by him. No matter what the emperor asks, he will respond to every request. Moreover, Kanehu is not from a high family background, and he is a barbarian. He will not be supported by the people. The cumbersome family members have no ancestral property worth boasting about, only the money accumulated at hand, and there is no capital to climb up the nobility.

The third prince knew very well that the reason why the emperor questioned his ability today was because he killed Kanenhu's son for no reason.

Thinking of this, the third prince felt even more resentful, he gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, let's give those 'pigs' the death penalty."

Suddenly, the third prince thought about being scolded bloody by the emperor today, and his thoughts turned to another matter. He looked up at the sixteenth prince, and suddenly asked: "Last time you asked the painter to paint our majestic appearance. Are you down? What about the album?"

Hearing these words, the Sixteenth Prince turned his face away indiscriminately, and said casually: "I left it in the mansion, but I didn't bring it with me, what's the matter? Do you want to see it?"

In order to hide his guilty conscience, he picked up the crossbow again and started aiming at the corpse on the table.

He told this lie without changing his face, as if nothing had happened, it could hardly be true.

The third prince couldn't see the clue, he shook his head and said: "I don't want to see it, I'm afraid you will lose it, it's not good for others to see it."

"Understood, brother three, do you think I'm stupid?" The words of the third prince made the sixteenth prince sit up straight.

The two people just looked at each other and smiled when there was a slight sound on the beam.

The third prince shouted, "Who—"

He suddenly raised his head and followed the sound. He couldn't see anyone, but he obviously felt some kind of hot gaze.

"Eh——" Impossible!The third prince began to concentrate, waiting for the weird feeling to fade away.

However, a dark figure emerged from the corner.

The third prince and the sixteenth prince were horrified to see a familiar and handsome face, which scared them out of their wits!
Su Xiangyang?
Isn't he dead?He was still executed Ling Chi, why is this guy here?
Wasn't he hacked to pieces a few days ago?
