Chapter 232 Death of the Crown Prince
"Boss Chu, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!" Pei Nu's dead soul shouted boldly.
When he saw Chu Tang placing the weapon on the neck of Wang Haochen who could not move, the one who was most frightened and panicked was of course him, the commander of the guards of the Hou Mansion.
Marquis Nanqing asked him to be the commander of the Marquis Mansion, and the minimum requirement was that he protect the prince's safety.
But today, he asked a man to march straight in and kill him from front to back in the Hou Mansion!
There are hundreds of garrison troops, one or two hundred guards, all well prepared, and there are also many people with high martial arts skills. All added up, it is a terrifying force.
But they were of no use at all, so Chu Tang didn't say anything, and finally had the prince captured!
This was a great shame and the greatest humiliation for him.
But Pei Nu didn't dare to show his teeth to Chu Tang. He didn't even dare to show his anger. Instead, he begged Chu Tang not to hurt Wang Haochen.
His weak spot was taken advantage of.
Just as embarrassed as him was Pan Changgong.
He was a dignified garrison general and led five hundred soldiers to guard the Nanqinghou Mansion. He was helpless against one person and let someone take the protection object among the army.
Not only that, they also lost hundreds of soldiers, who were either dead or injured!
On the battlefield, after a small battle, their losses were not that big.
How can you explain this to the garrison commander?
Pan Changgong was unwilling to give in. He immediately called to the soldiers on the scene and surrounded Chu Tang three times inside and three times outside.
"Stop! Stop it all!" Pei Nu was frightened when he saw this, fearing that Pan Changgong's men would accidentally injure the prince; he was even more afraid that Chu Tang would be angered and kill Wang Haochen without stopping.
"General Pan, tell your people not to mess around!" Pei Nu shouted hurriedly.
Pan Changgong rolled his eyes, thinking that if you, the commander-in-chief, are so loud, no matter how stupid Chu Tang is, he will still make an issue out of your prince.
In fact, he also knew in his heart that at this moment, their side was the most difficult, very uncomfortable.
As the saying goes, to capture the thief first, capture the king. Chu Tang now holds the biggest trump card in his hand.
They can't do much else if they don't take advantage of them.
The order to surround Chu Tang was just for show.
Didn't you see that the soldiers and archers surrounding them didn't even draw their bows? They were afraid that they would accidentally shoot out the arrows and cause a misjudgment, which would lead to an outcome that no one wanted to see. That would be an injustice.
"Boss Chu, what do you want? Let's go down the road, and our Houfu will take care of it." Pei Nu, holding back his anger and fear, slowly came to a place more than ten feet in front of Chu Tang.
In order not to cause Chu Tang to overreact, Commander Pei threw all the knives aside on the ground, with his hands in front of him, unarmed, indicating that he had no intention or small movements to do anything.
Chu Tang ignored him, instead looked sideways at Wang Haochen, who was silent, and asked lightly: "Prince Wang, what did you say?"
The Nanqing Hou Crown Prince's face was livid at this time, and he clenched his teeth. Although he did not speak, his eyes were spitting fire, and he obviously hated Chu Tang very much.
Also, he, the dignified prince of Nanqinghou, is a transcendent existence in Qingcheng. Over the years, he has done whatever he wants, done everything, and done everything to his detriment. When did he suffer the shame and humiliation he is experiencing today?
His face was completely shattered when Chu Tang dislocated his shoulder with a claw and threw it away.
Now, he fell into the enemy's hands and became a prisoner of his subordinates. The grief and anger made him feel more uncomfortable than killing him.
Even saying one more word would cause him great pain.
Seeing his eldest son glaring at Chu Tang angrily and ignoring his words, Pei Nu was afraid that Chu Tang would be jealous, so he quickly said on his behalf: "Board leader Chu, our eldest son has admitted defeat, and our Houfu has also surrendered to you. Just say it." , what do you want us to do? Whatever you want, just ask, as long as we can do it, we will definitely get what you want."
"What?" Chu Tang glanced at the other party, "Commander Pei thinks that Mr. Chu is here for something from your Marquis House? Or does he think that Mr. Chu wants to blackmail you?"
Pei Nu quickly denied: "No, Leader Chu, don't get me wrong! Pei really wants to have a good talk."
Chu Tang glanced around and said: "Commander Pei doesn't need to lie to Chu. If he really asks for something, then Chu will really not be able to escape the crime of blackmailing the Marquis Mansion. Chu came today to ask questions about your eldest son. One word."
"One sentence?" Pei Nu was stunned and felt extremely wronged.
If you want to ask a question, you should have said it earlier. Do you need to take action?
Just for one sentence, do you, Detective Chu, need to fight all the way from the gate to the backyard?
Chu Tang stared at Wang Haochen with deep eyes and said, "Prince Wang, do you admit that everyone in Shiben Theater Troupe was harmed by you?"
Pei Nu was shocked when he heard this, and said first: "Captain Chu, please don't accuse our prince unjustly! Our prince has never exerted a single force on anyone from Shiben Opera Troupe."
In full view of the public, with so many garrison troops present, he certainly could not let his prince admit to killing many civilians.
Doing it is one thing, saying it is another, and admitting it to outsiders is another.
It can’t be true!
Chu Tang seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said with a smile: "Yes, your prince is such a noble person. Killing a few people from the troupe, isn't that dirtying his hands? Commander Pei, do you really think Chu is a fool? You guys There are so many people in the Hou Mansion, why does he need to kill people himself?"
Pei Nu paused and asked tactfully: "Bandou Chu, what exactly do you want from our prince?"
"Chu said, just ask him for a word!"
"Chu Tang, if you want to kill or behead him, you have to do whatever you want! This prince frowns and his surname is no longer king!" Wang Haochen couldn't stand the humiliation, so he clamored for Chu Tang to kill him.
Chu Tang narrowed his eyes and chuckled: "Prince Wang, you don't think that Chu really doesn't dare to kill you, do you?"
As he spoke, the magic weapon in his hand tightened, and the sharp blade pressed against the skin on Wang Haochen's neck.
There was fear in Wang Haochen's eyes, but he shouted: "Kill him if you dare! Anyway, you will come down to accompany me soon!"
Chu Tang laughed strangely: "I didn't expect that Prince Wang, you still have some courage. Then... Chu will send you to see the King of Hell first, as you wish?"
"No, no, no!" Pei Nu shouted quickly, "Your Majesty, please stop provoking him, he is not here to reason today. Leader Chu, didn't you want to ask Shiben who killed those people in the theater troupe? Isn’t it okay if I tell you?”
Chu Tang looked at Pei Nu and smiled again, and said: "Commander Pei, don't you want to confess yourself and say that you or other subordinates killed the person?"
Pei Nu choked and looked at Chu Tang with wide eyes, wondering how the other party could guess his thoughts.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Chu Tang was happy: "Why, are you really right?"
Pei Nu straightened his waist and gritted his teeth and said, "It's me! I'm the one who did it! I coveted the beauty of the actress in their troupe and wanted her to devote herself to me. Not only did she refuse to obey, she also brought the people in the troupe to fight against us. I I had no choice but to kill him. Captain Chu, you said that you came here as a police officer of Gui County for the people of Gui County. Now someone has confessed. According to the procedures, should you take me back to the Yamen for a good trial? "
Chu Tang's eyes were strange and he sighed: "Commander Pei, you are a master of the Six Realms, but you are also a figure in the world. I didn't expect you to be so devoted to Nan Qinghou, and you would not hesitate to bear the crime for his son!"
Pei snorted angrily and said: "Everyone is responsible for what he does! Leader Chu, you can blame me for what Pei has committed! Pei will never hesitate to accept it!"
"It's good that one person does everything and the other takes responsibility." Chu Tang laughed and turned to Pan Changgong, "General Pan, do you think Chu should believe it?"
Pan Changgong looked at Pei Nu, then at Wang Haochen, and finally his eyes fell on Chu Tang, and said calmly: "Team leader Chu claims that he is here for official business, so just follow the yamen procedures and leave."
Chu Tang clicked his tongue and said: "A gentleman can deceive others, do you really think that Mr. Chu is a gentleman? Or do you think that Mr. Chu is a pedantic person? Even if Mr. Chu is here for official business, then catching thieves for official business is of no use. Accidental injuries are also very common and very reasonable! For example... the young man next to me not only prevented me from catching the thief, but also fought against him, and was chopped down by Chu who thought he was an accomplice of the thief, so there should be no problem, right?"
As he spoke, the magic weapon in Chu Tang's hand tightened a little more. The sharp blade cut Wang Haozhi's skin, and a trace of blood oozed from his neck.
Wang Haochen had a look of pain on his face.
When Pan Changgong saw this, his pupils shrank and he was speechless.
Pei Nuze was frightened and angry, and shouted: "Chu Tang, you..."
"Chu Tang, stop!" At this moment, a loud shout in the distance attracted everyone's attention.
They followed the sound and saw a figure flying quickly from outside. After a few jumps, he came close and flew lightly over the heads of the soldiers and guards.
"Huh?" When Chu Tang saw the familiar Qinggong movement of the visitor, he immediately knew who it was.
flutter!
The visitor landed lightly in the surrounding circle, revealing his true appearance.
"Huh? Dean Tao?" It was Pei Nu who expressed surprise.
"Dean Tao, why are you here?" It was Chu Tang who asked directly.
That's right, it's Tao Ying in a smart outfit.
Hurrying slowly, she finally arrived at Nanqinghou Mansion from Wutong Academy.
"Chu Tang..." Tao Ying looked at Chu Tang with a complicated expression, looking confused and not knowing what to say.
And she also recognized the person whom Chu Tang held the magic weapon around her neck. Who else could it be if it wasn't Nan Qinghou's precious son Wang Haochen!
"What exactly happened here?" Tao Ying was filled with doubts.
After receiving the more than twenty martial arts skills Chu Tang entrusted her to keep, Tao Ying guessed that the other party was going to Nanqinghou Mansion to settle matters.
During these days, she had already heard that there were soldiers from the garrison stationed at Nanqinghou Mansion as guards.
Afraid that something might happen to Chu Tang, she hid the martial arts secrets and rode over.
Unfortunately, Wutong Academy was in the north of Qingcheng, and Nanqinghou Mansion was in the west of the city. It was broad daylight, and there were so many people in the city that she couldn't catch up quickly, and it took her more than half an hour to arrive at Nanqinghou Mansion.
As soon as she entered the gate, she saw many dead and injured soldiers, and the blood on the ground shocked her even more.
Following the blood trail, she rushed into the backyard and saw many soldiers and guards lying on the ground. Tao Ying knew that Chu Tang was going on a killing spree, so she didn't dare to neglect and ran all the way over.
When she saw Chu Tang in the encirclement with a hostage in her hand, she rushed in regardless.
Seeing that Chu Tang was fine, she should have been relieved, but when she saw that Chu Tang's hostage was Wang Haochen, her heart tightened even more.
"Dean Tao, you came just in time!" After Pei Nu recognized Tao Ying, he was inexplicably surprised and trembled with excitement. He kept talking, "Dean Tao, you have to persuade Leader Chu. , tell him not to be impulsive, let alone hurt our eldest son. You also know how much our prince attaches great importance to our prince. Once the prince has any shortcomings, the prince will really stir up trouble. "
Hearing this, Tao Ying hummed, turned to Chu Tang and said, "Chu Tang, how do you want to end today?"
Chu Tang frowned and asked, "Dean Tao, are you here to stop Chu too?"
Tao Ying took a deep breath and said, "I'm here to save you."
"Save me?" Chu Tang smiled and pointed at the people around him, "Does Dean Tao think they can hurt Chu at all?"
Pei Nu and Pan Changgong were ashamed and angry when they heard this, their faces turned red and white.
Tao Ying frowned, looked at Chu Tang carefully, and said: "Boss Chu, humiliating people like this is not something you would normally do. Is your inner demon already so deep?"
"Inner demon?" Chu Tang was stunned for a moment, "Does Dean Tao think Chu's inner demon is causing trouble today?"
"Isn't it?" Tao Ying asked.
Chu Tang was silent for a long time, slowly reached out and took out a dead branch from his arms, showed it in front of everyone, and eloquently told the story of the dead branch that Chang Xiaoming told before he died, and finally said in a low voice: "This little The small branches represent the attachment of several Guijun people to their hometown. They are still young, and they would have had plenty of opportunities to return to Guijun to relieve their homesickness.
"However, when they were in their prime and in their twenties, they died in a foreign country and were buried in mass graves! Who caused all this?"
When Chu Tang finished speaking, his voice was full of grief and anger, and his angry eyes fell on Wang Haochen.
Wang Haochen looked at him with twinkling eyes.
Tao Ying also stared blankly at the dead branch in Chu Tang's hand without saying a word.
Pan Changgong and the other soldiers looked at each other and slowly lowered their heads.
Pei Nu's expression was complicated.
Chu Tang became excited: "That poor Chang Xiaoming, when he committed suicide, begged me not to save him! Did you hear that, he asked me not to save him! When a person is about to die, his words are also kind. There are still people in this world. Don’t you want to live? Why? Because he regards the people in Shiben’s theater troupe as his family, and since all his family members are dead, he has no hope of living!
"Most of the people in the Shiben Theater Troupe are poor people. They work hard to act, make money to support themselves, and have hope for life. However, just because they entered this dirty Nanqinghou Mansion, everything was ruined!"
Faced with Chu Tang's accusation, everyone fell silent.
There was a moment of silence, except for Chu Tang's heavy breathing.
After a long while, Pei Nu said in a deep voice: "Captain Chu, the matter has come to this, Pei has nothing to say. Today you broke into the Marquis Mansion and killed and wounded hundreds of soldiers and guards. Didn't you shed enough blood? Once the crown prince What's the long and short of it? From now on, the Marquis will let more blood flow! Is that what you want to see?
"What happened to Marquis Nanqing, Pei must be blamed for it, and he will never be redeemed by death! Leader Chu, you took Pei's head on his neck to pay homage to the people of the troupe, and you took it as Pei's apology to them, how about that?" ?”
Chu Tang said coldly: "Injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Do you think you, Commander Pei, can be worth the more than twenty wronged souls in our troupe?"
"Then what do you want?" Pei Nu was anxious and frightened.
Chu Tang's eyes slowly turned to Wang Haochen, who was feeling uncomfortable, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Haochen, Chu asked you again, do you admit that you have harmed everyone in the Shiben Theater Troupe?"
Wang Haochen stared at Chu Tang and sneered a few times without saying anything, denying or admitting.
Chu Tang had no expression on his face, moved a step, faced Wang Haochen, stared into his eyes and said: "Wang Haochen, look into my eyes and answer the question again."
Wang Haochen was very disdainful, raised his head and glanced at Chu Tang's eyes.
It was this look that made him unable to look away again.
He certainly didn't know that Chu Tang had just performed the soul-moving technique of the Nine Yin Manual!
He only felt that Chu Tang's eyes were like an abyss, with whirlpools spinning. When his whole body froze, he said mechanically: "It's me. I covet the beauty of Zhao Ziyu from Shiben Theater Troupe and want to take her as my concubine. She doesn't want to , I will let someone capture her fellow sect..."
"Prince! Shut up!" Pei Nu shouted loudly, roaring at the top of his lungs.
This roar shocked Chu Tang and interrupted his movement.
Wang Haochen woke up from his trance. He was still a little confused. He looked around with a confused look on his face.
The soldiers surrounding him all looked at him with strange eyes, some with disdain, some with shock, and some with anger.
Pei Nu looked at Chu Tang in horror and said in a trembling voice: "Chu Tang, what did you do to our prince?"
Chu Tang was not happy when he interrupted the performance of the Soul Transferring Technique, but with a smile on his face, he said: "I'm just asking your heir apparent if he killed the people in Shiben's theater troupe. You also They all heard it, and he admitted it was his idea.”
"No! Our prince didn't say anything!" Pei roared angrily.
Chu Tang pointed around and said, "Ask them if they believe this?"
Pan Changgong lowered his head silently. There were many soldiers like him.
Chu Tang smiled, the smile was extremely bright.
Tao Ying sensed something was wrong and said quickly: "Chu Tang, don't be impulsive! No one can control the anger of Marquis Nanqing except the governor of Liangzhou and the commander of the Jianyi Guards."
"Huh?" Chu Tang glanced at Tao Ying first, and then said with a smile, "Dean Tao, thank you for reminding me."
"Chu Tang, you...don't want it!"
As Tao Ying screamed, under the eyes of everyone in shock, fear, and disbelief, Nanqing Hou Shizi, who had always been aloof, noble, and unscrupulous, suddenly separated his body and head!
With a pop, a pillar of blood shot into the sky and his head flew into the air, and it took him a long time to hit the ground.
boom!
The sound of the head falling to the ground was like a bell and a drum, hammering into everyone's hearts and shaking everyone.
A broken voice sounded in Tao Ying's heart: "It's over! This time the innocence is really going to collapse!"
