Chapter 406 The unspoken rules of the cell (please subscribe!)

"The queen doesn't have to!"

It's rare to be warm with the queen today, is it possible that I still have things to deal with behind the queen's back?

She is the queen of a country!Naturally, he could share all the news with himself, so Emperor Tang said to Wu De with some dissatisfaction: "Wu De, if you have anything to say, you can just say it directly. Is it possible that you don't want the queen to know?"

I really don't want her to know...

Wu De sighed in his heart. Since Emperor Tang asked him to speak, he could only say: "Your Majesty, this old slave just returned to the palace from the city, and only then did I learn that His Royal Highness King Xiang... was killed...so Zhang County Bocai sent Princess Yilan back as early as possible, fearing that it would be unsafe outside the palace..."

King Xiang was assassinated?
The Emperor Tang and the Empress who heard the news were as dumbfounded as they were incredulous.

Emperor Tang was still a little better, but the queen's face was already pale, if she hadn't supported Emperor Tang's arm, she might have fallen to the ground.

"How is Yi Xiang now...?"

Emperor Tang seemed to have exhausted all his strength to ask this question, and the queen also turned her gaze to Wu De, hoping to hear some good news from him, but judging by Wu De's performance, she always felt that she was not quite right. possible……

He clenched the queen's hands tightly, fearing that he would hear some bad news. If the queen couldn't bear it, he could still take care of it. Facts have proved that he was thinking too much...

"Your Majesty...His Royal Highness King Xiang...was gone on the spot..."

"Yi Xiang!"

As soon as Wu De finished speaking, the queen let out a wail, then her eyes sank, and she passed out immediately, and Tang Emperor's performance was not much worse. He wanted to help the queen at first, but he just took a step. He lost consciousness and also fell down...

…………

It snowed all night, and the next morning, Jingzhou was covered in snow again.

Before the hour came, all civil and military officials had already gathered outside the gate of the palace. This time, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Even the guards guarding the palace gate felt inexplicable depression. Standing there looking straight ahead, their backs straightened even more...

When the time of day arrived, the gate of the palace opened.

There was no scrambling, and all the officials walked into the palace in an orderly manner. The snow on the ground of the palace had been swept away, and no traces of snow could be seen, but the roof of the palace was white, solemn and desolate.

A quarter of an hour passed, and the Emperor Tang had not yet arrived.

None of the officials spoke, and they waited quietly. It is understandable that Emperor Tang came late after such a thing happened.

After another quarter of an hour, Emperor Tang still did not come.

At this time, Wu De walked into the Golden Luan Hall, and said to the officials: "Your Majesty is ill today, and it is inconvenient to go to the court early. My lords, do you have something to play?"

It's very strange that no one stood up today, not even those censors who usually take pleasure in admonishing did not submit a memorial.

Who dares to play at this time?
Unless the head is kicked by a donkey!

"Since your lords have nothing to do, you'll be here this morning, so please come back, lords!"

After saying this, the officials got up and retreated one after another.

At this time, the faces of the officials were not very good. After all, the prince of a country was assassinated, what a bad thing it is!
It has nothing to do with factions, it has nothing to do with standing in line, it's just a pity for King Xiang, which shows that King Xiang is usually very popular...

However, Hao Junguang was the most anxious and worried among these officials. When he came out of the palace, he rushed to the East Palace without stopping.

…………

The prince woke up early today, dressed neatly, sat in the front hall and waited quietly, waiting for someone from the palace to pass him into the palace!

That's right, King Xiang was killed, so he must be the most suspect!

As soon as the court started, Emperor Tang should have called him for an interrogation!
But the prince is not afraid, he has already made preparations, the road ahead is smooth, so what if there are occasional thorns on the small road?

But he waited and waited, but no one came to pass him into the palace, so he panicked: What does this mean, Your Majesty?
If he was called into the palace and scolded him, he would be very happy. After all, being able to scold him shows that he still has a lot of expectations for him, but now he is being dry like this—it is too scary!
Could it be that Emperor Tang has searched for some clues?
Shouldn't it be possible?How much effort is this?

So what the hell is going on now?
While the prince was guessing wildly, a servant came in and reported: "His Royal Highness, Hao Shangshu begs to see you!"

"Hao Junguang? What is he doing here?"

The prince was puzzled, at this point, shouldn't Hao Junguang be in court early in the palace?How could it appear here?
This was the first person to visit him since yesterday's accident, so the prince said, "Please hurry up!"

After a while, Hao Junguang walked in. After seeing the prince, he knelt down excitedly and said, "Your Highness, you must save my poor nephew!"

Ok?
Nephew?

What's the situation?
At this moment, the prince had a question mark on his face, and said, "Hao Shangshu, please get up quickly—I don't know what exactly you said just now?"

So Hao Junguang stood up from the ground, and said with a sad face: "My nephew, Hao Shirong, took a group of friends yesterday to go to the Shangyuan Poetry Club to play, but when we were halfway there, we met a policeman who was chasing the killer. Just take the person!"

Speaking of which, Hao Junguang was so angry. On the night of Shangyuan Festival, he drank a little wine, thinking that the cold war with Hao Shirong's mother was long enough, and she must be empty, right?
Unable to bear the loneliness, Hao Junguang planned to take advantage of the alcohol to make out with Hao Shirong's mother, but when he entered the courtyard next door, he heard her panicking that Hao Shirong had disappeared, and he didn't take it seriously, saying that Hao Shirong was not a child and hurt Well, let's go out, Hou hurriedly pulled her and wanted to go into the house...

At this time, the servant who sneaked out with Hao Shirong ran back and told the news that Hao Shirong was taken away by the government as a killer...

It is not a big deal to Hao Junguang that the government arrested the wrong person, but when he heard that the people from the government were chasing the killer who assassinated King Xiang, he immediately sobered up!

This riding a horse is no small matter!

He rushed to the magistrate overnight, intending to ask the newly appointed magistrate Li Haoyun to intercede, saying that he was his nephew, thinking he should give face, right?
But who would have thought that Li Haoyun didn't even see him in person, and only asked someone to say that this matter is of great importance, and he can make a clear decision on who is right, and just let Hao Junguang wait for the news at home.

When he got home, Hao Jun smashed a few teapots angrily!
After Luo Zhiyuan was relegated to a foreign country, regarding the candidate for Jingzhou magistrate, he first recommended a friend of his, and he was picky about Li Haoyun who was transferred from other places, but in the end it was the Emperor Tang who made the decision, and he had no choice but to do it...

This Li Haoyun must be taking revenge on himself for that matter!

Today, after the morning court, he hurried to the East Palace, because if the crown prince stepped forward in such a matter, then Li Haoyun would definitely give the crown prince a face!

The crown prince listened to Hao Junguang's words, pondered for a while, did not continue to talk about this matter, but asked: "Has Hao Shangshu ever been to the early court today?"

"Return to Your Highness, the next official came here early!"

Hao Junguang didn't know what the prince meant, so he could only answer truthfully.

"Oh? Did you go to court early? Then why did you go to court so early today?"

The crown prince is really curious. When something like this happens, shouldn’t the court be very lively and last for a long time? It’s rare for it to end so soon...

"Return to Your Highness, His Majesty is ill today and did not attend the morning court, so he retired before the morning court opened..."

This……

Hearing this, the crown prince calculated in his heart that the matter of His Majesty's illness is either true or false. It is impossible to guess, but what is certain is that Emperor Tang must be very angry and sad. Genius is when you see the truth.

Thinking of this, the prince still felt a little uneasy...

"Your Highness, about my nephew..."

Seeing that the prince did not make a statement, Hao Junguang reminded again with some worries in his heart.

"Hao Shangshu, this kind of thing has no proof, and this king can't be the master!"

The prince put his hands behind his back and said after a sigh.

Can't be the master?

Hao Junguang's heart sank, and he said unwillingly: "Your Highness, my nephew doesn't know martial arts, and has nothing to do with that killer. I hope His Highness can help you speak to Li Haoyun..."

"Hao Shangshu, you are wrong! Hao Shirong is just your nephew, how can you know what he does every day? Although Luo Xingjian is Luo Zhiyuan's son, Luo Zhiyuan doesn't know anything about what Luo Xingjian does. What do you do? Uncle, how dare you be sure?"

Seeing that Hao Junguang remained silent, the prince smiled again and said, "Hao Shangshu, if Hao Shirong was wronged as you said, then the imperial court will definitely clear him up! Don't worry..."

"Yes, Your Highness..."

Hao Junguang's words had lost the previous enthusiasm, he said a few words coldly, and then left.

Looking at Hao Junguang's back, the prince had a sneer on his face. He knew that starting today, he lost another ally.

But he doesn't care.

King Xiang was killed, Tang Emperor must be furious, if the murderer is not found out, he will not give up, then Jingzhou City may be turned upside down!
Although the crown prince is sure that even if they investigate, they will not be able to find out why, but who can guarantee this kind of thing?

There are some things that everyone knows well, and only one explanation is needed at this time, and the appearance of Hao Shirong has given the prince great inspiration!
On the night of King Xiang's accident, Hao Shirong and a group of people appeared at the scene of the incident with a murder weapon. If he is said to be the murderer—or one of the murderer's accomplices, this idea could not be better!

That's why the prince didn't say anything and agreed to help Hao Junguang. After all, it's really rare for a scapegoat volunteer to come out at such a critical time!

…………

Jingzhou prefect prison.

The innermost room of the cell was the one where Zhang Twelve and Du Lang lived. Because two people died in it, a large space was vacant after Zhang Twelve and Du Lang were pardoned.

Hao Shirong was "lucky" and was assigned to this cell.

And Manpi Liu was also assigned with him.

Last night, Hao Shirong managed to sneak out of the house, went to "Wenxianglai" and saw his enemy Zhang Twelve. He wanted to find a place to come back, but he was beaten by Zhang Twelve, not to mention how embarrassing it is!

Running out from "Wen Xiang Lai", Hao Shirong didn't go home, because he knew that Hao Junguang would never help him in this kind of thing. After spitting, he thought of the mangy Liu he knew before he left Jingzhou. Said that he is now the boss of Xicheng, so he must be able to help himself!
They were both very happy to meet again, especially Manpi Liu.

Because the appearance of Hao Shirong, who has been taken advantage of, means that he will have money to take soon!
Sure enough, Hao Shirong asked Manpi Liu to beat someone up, and promised to pay a lot of money afterwards, and Manpi Liu agreed on the spot.

Hao Shirong was very angry at the time, saying that he would tear Zhang Twelve into tens of thousands of pieces. With a customer-oriented service attitude, Manpi Liu came out with a knife with his brother. To embolden Hao Shirong, he gave him a knife... …

An idiot and a group of little bums came to "Wen Xiang Lai" arrogantly, and before they even entered the door, they were taken down by the oncoming and well-equipped police...

Hao Shirong was a little ignorant at the time, Mangy Liu was more ignorant than Hao Shirong, he even wondered if this was a trick Hao Shirong made for himself!
He walks around Jingzhou City every day, and he doesn't have an accident sooner or later. As soon as Hao Shirong came to him, something happened to him. It's not his fault!
But looking at Hao Shirong's tense expression, as if he didn't know, he was a little relieved. After all, he knew that this guy's uncle was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the mere magistrate shouldn't be afraid of arresting him quickly, right?
Hao Shirong also thought so, so when he was arrested, he kept signing up for his own account, but it was useless at all. If the policeman said that he dared to assassinate King Xiang, it would be useless no matter who your father was!

Assassinate King Xiang?

Labor and management are just out to beat someone, the key is not to beat, assassinate a big head ghost!
Hao Shirong felt sad and angry, but he had no choice but to wait for Hao Junguang to come to save him...

Newcomers will inevitably encounter a series of unspoken rules when they first enter the cell.

Of course, this unspoken rule is not the other unspoken rule, after all, they are all big men, there is really nothing to "hidden"...

Sleeping under the kang, eating the last meal and eating the least, and helping the new boss in the cell squeeze the shoulders and beat the legs, it is extremely humiliating.

Hao Shirong was not very courageous in the first place, especially when he saw these ferocious prisoners in the cell, he thought that he would get out soon—just pinch it...

But Manpi Liu didn't have such a good temper. After all, he was also an underground brother in the west city of Jingzhou, how could he bear this kind of anger?

But he was weak, and his only ally, Hao Shirong, had already succumbed, so as soon as he resisted, he was beaten up by the people in the cell, and he lay on the ground for a long time...

After the man beat him, he said: "When you come to us, you have to obey our rules! Last time a big brother came, he was much more ruthless than you, hehe, but later—"

"and after?"

Mangy Liu lying on the ground asked this question.

"Later..."

Speaking of this, the man looked out of the window melancholy, thinking of Zhang Twelve's voice and smile at that time, and regretted for a while: "I'm gone later..."

"........."

Mangy Liu was lying on the ground, not knowing what was going on...

 I wish you all a happy New Year's Day, the new year is coming soon, everyone, let's work together with Sanshu!For life!
