Chapter 545: Make an example of others
Chapter 545 Kill chickens to warn monkeys
Looking at Chang Yanjue with deep eyes, Chu Nanzhi gradually persuaded herself to compromise, and closed her eyes a little bit unbearably: "Students obey the teacher's orders."
Old Chang nodded in relief, glanced at Xie Jingchen coldly, and ordered solemnly: "Send Prince Xie back to the post."
Xie Jingchen felt a little uncomfortable. He came here with full sincerity, but was misunderstood by everyone, and made his little Zhizhi feel hated by her husband.
His royal decree today is more or less aimed at himself.
To kill thousands of innocent people with one order, he is already considered ruthless, and he can't do such a thing.
But after all, it was a matter of other countries, and he couldn't get in the way, so he had to follow the sergeants out of the mansion resentfully.
Concubine Yue, King Nandu, and King Beibin just looked at each other, and fell silent one after another.
They are very clear that Lin Jinxiao's move is shocking, and even if His Majesty knows about it, he will definitely agree to it. They have nothing to say, they just perfunctorily ordered to find out the person behind the scenes as soon as possible, and say goodbye to everyone. They each dispersed.
Tang Ru held the imperial decree in his hand, watched Yue Guifei and others go away, and gradually became clear in his heart, with a strong feeling that this matter had nothing to do with Nandu Wang and Beibin Wang.
Right now, he has to try to persuade the princess and lady to let go of their grudges and live in harmony with King Pingning and his wife. Only the close unity of the two foreign princes can deter the kings in Beijing.
Looking at Chu Nanzhi with a smile on his face, Tang Ru apologized with a sincere face: "Princess, what happened today is very offending, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I hope that our two families can turn hostility into friendship in the future. Only Your Highness and the Princess will follow suit."
Chu Nanzhi didn't listen to the words on this kind of scene, and a calm smile appeared on his calm face: "The governor's words are serious, but fortunately, it didn't hurt the harmony between you and my family. The assassin was caught, but the person behind the scenes was not caught, His Highness will soon seal it, and it is imminent to find out the person behind the scene, and it will take a lot of effort to rely on the governor."
She couldn't be more clear about Tang Ru's careful thinking. She just felt that today's incident was instigated by the two emperor uncles, and he wanted to help King Qinghe win over Lin Jinxiao.
As for who instigated today's incident, she didn't have any clues, but said: "In the past few days, I will trouble the two governors to try their best to offer a reward to catch the murderer according to the portrait, and send more people to strengthen the security in the city. There will be chaos in the city before sealing it."
"The next official takes orders."
After Tang Ru and Li Ce answered respectfully, they led Princess Qian to leave.
Chu Nanzhi was still thinking about asking Li Ce to help recruit dead men, so she called him to a side room where there was no one else, and then she calmed down and asked, "Sanlang, have you done everything I told you?"
Li Ce pursed his lips and nodded emphatically: "Sister-in-law, according to your order, I have secretly recruited two hundred dead soldiers to the racecourse in Nanhua Mountain, and they are all staying there as handymen at the racecourse. Help build the racecourse."
"very good."
Chu Nanzhi smiled at him and said: "But this amount is far from enough, you have to spend all the 20,000 taels of silver note I gave you, don't be stingy, you can recruit more from the mansion, and stay on the right track After that, it will not be a problem to arrange seven or eight hundred handymen to guard and serve the horses at the racecourse, and they will not be suspected."
"My little brother wrote it down."
Li Ce glanced at her anxiously, and said anxiously: "Sister-in-law, forgive me, why do I see that Captain Chen doesn't look like a reliable person, will arranging so many people in the racecourse cause him to be angry?" Suspect."
"No problem."
Chu Nanzhi sneered and waved his hands: "Chen Xiaowei is Princess Shu's confidant, and he was personally brought into the palace by your brother to serve as the leader of the palace, he."
At this point, Chu Nanzhi suddenly stopped, not embarrassed to continue talking.
If you want to talk about loyalty, this guy is naturally loyal, but he is not only loyal to himself.
I can clearly see his small actions in front of Lin Jinxiao today, and he is nothing more than worried that he will cheat on his boss.
However, Chen Chuan still clearly distinguishes right from wrong.
"Since he is in charge of the palace guards, of course these things cannot be kept from him."
Chu Nanzhi didn't care about Chen Chuan's actions, and persuaded him generously: "Sanlang, you are your brother's life-and-death brother. Although Captain Chen came to Luyan Port for a short time, he also followed your brother. Those who have gone through hardships together, you must work together to help your brother in the future."
Princess Shu knew Lin Jinxiao's background, so the people she sent must be reliable.
And what Chen Chuan did these days is what he sees.
Now that his sister-in-law had already spoken, Li Ce didn't dare to be suspicious any more, and obediently obeyed, thinking of that Prince Xie, he couldn't help but say something more: "Sister-in-law, I just looked at my brother and thanked the prince. His expression seems to be very displeased, and this Prince Xie probably doesn't have any good intentions towards his sister-in-law, so you'd better stay away from him in the future."
"I have my own measure."
Chu Nanzhi replied pretending to be calm, but her heart couldn't stand it and fell into a turmoil.
She doesn't care about this apprentice, she just feels that she has experienced so many things together, and she is a rare and handsome young man with yellow flowers. She treats him as a friend, and occasionally cultivates his eyes, seductive, how can he be treated like this? Many people misunderstood.
These days, it is really difficult for a woman to have a friend of the opposite sex.
Could it be that people can only feel at ease if they can only guard their husband's door all day long.
After sending Li Ce away, she huddled herself in the side room alone, recalling Lin Jinxiao's actions just now, and she still felt a little hard to let go.
More than a thousand lives are about to burp. Although they are all related to the Qi family, not everyone deserves to die. There are also many innocent people who invested in the Qi family in the past just to find a living. That's all.
The members of the Chu family and the Liu family, even Liu Yun and Chu Wenbi's couple had to please the Qi family in the past, so they all had to be dragged and killed.
When she thought of this, she felt extremely guilty. If she hadn't been in a hurry to give everyone an explanation for the sake of the overall situation, and took the lead in linking the two incidents of poisoning fish fry and assassination, she would not have given Lin Jinxiao such inspiration.
What a sin.
In the courtyard, Ji Cen'an and Sang Kun have already begun to arrange the guests' whereabouts. Those who live in the city will be personally escorted home by the guards, while those outside the city will be sent to the inn of Yuanlai Restaurant to rest in accordance with Chu Nanzhi's order. .
Chang Yanjue and Nie Huai'an, thinking about Lin Jinxiao's happy couple being made such a fuss today, felt depressed, and the two elders were even more worried about the lives of thousands of people.
Several people split up, Ji Huazhen and Cui Shi went to find Chu Nanzhi to enlighten her, while Chang Lao and Nie Lao went to the study.
Under the slightly flickering light, Lin Jinxiao was sitting in the middle of the study in a daze. Seeing the second elder come in, he hurriedly got up in fear and fear, ready to go up to greet him.
But before reaching the elders, Chang Yanjue leaned on his crutches tightly and asked sharply, "Why do you want to issue this royal decree from the ten tribes of barbarians? Even His Majesty has never set such a precedent, and you haven't even formally sealed the ceremony." Okay, if you dare to be so good at it, could it be that His Majesty gave you the Son of Heaven Sword just to make you act recklessly?"
"Yes, our Dahe Empire has always ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness. Even the monarchs of the past dynasties treated the most vicious people with lenient punishment and provincial laws. Arrogant and fearless temperament, the teacher is well-informed, have you heard of any precedents in the past dynasties where someone dared to assassinate the imperial envoy who passed the edict to His Majesty?"
In front of Chang Lao, Lin Jinxiao, who has always been docile and well-behaved, had no intention of compromising on this matter at all, and said righteously:
"Now that I have become a king and governor of a state, if I want my relatives and loved ones to be bullied and slandered at will, then this student Wang will not do it."
Chang Lao was unable to refute the resounding remark, and gradually understood that he was trying to make an example of others.
