Chapter 1191 Grandfather and grandson meet the anger of the Southern Border King (4)
He sneered: "Today, I almost burned a Xiliang envoy to death."
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Liu Gui broke out in cold sweat, King Xuan crawled out of her stomach, wouldn't she know how much he weighed? In terms of methods and scheming, King Xuan did not lack, but in terms of burning her mother to death, he would not be able to say, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you believe in King Xuan! He didn't do it! People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs caused trouble, and everyone would King Huaiyuxuan, he is not a fool, even if he wants to do something bad, he will not use people from the House of Internal Affairs, Your Majesty! Please learn from me!"
Concubine Liu Gui said, kneeling at the feet of the King of Nanjiang, "The concubine actually thinks this matter is strange. If there is no one to back it up, how dare a third-class **** set fire to Xinuang Pavilion? That person clearly wanted to burn to death." If the concubines and Xiliang envoys blame King Xuan again, it doesn’t matter if King Xuan is blamed, but if the mastermind behind the scenes continues to roam free, it will be a crime!"
Nanjiang King waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you get up, I didn't say that you must doubt King Xuan."
Concubine Liu Gui held back her tears, and stood up timidly, wiping her tears while cursing inwardly, whoever doesn't have eyesight would dare to give her son a pot of shit, and let her find out, he will definitely walk away without eating!
Nanjiang King looked at the bruised and swollen An Luhuai: "Say, who ordered you?"
"No... No one ordered the servant..." An Luhuai lowered his head and said with a look of terrified fear.
Nanjiang King looked at him fixedly, his eyes moved: "Aren't you telling the truth? It seems that you are going to suffer a lot."
An Luhuai's body trembled a bit: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, this slave really wasn't ordered by anyone..."
"Then why did you set fire?" asked the king of Nanjiang.
"Uh... this... the servant set the fire... because... that..." He stammered, as if he was so frightened that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
The king of Nanjiang looked at him, and then at the two guards behind him who were pretending to be calm, and in the blink of an eye, he vaguely understood something: "Since you don't want to say it, it's useless to keep your tongue, pull it out! "
An Luhuai's face suddenly changed, and he threw himself at the feet of the king of Nanjiang, tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, don't pull out the slave's tongue! The slave said! The slave can say anything! But please forgive me, the slave will not die—"
Nanjiang King said solemnly: "Okay, as long as you tell the truth and tell the mastermind behind the scenes, I will spare your dog's life."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" An Luhuai kowtowed three times in a row, until the king of Nanjiang became impatient, and then said timidly, "Yes... Patriarch Geng asked the slaves to set fire."
"Patriarch Geng?" Nanjiang King's pupils flickered, "Don't gossip, the Geng family is loyal to Nanjiang, and has never given birth to a heart of disobedience. How could they set fire to my concubine?"
During the speech, Ning Yue was picked out.
Concubine Liu Gui felt puzzled, wasn't the emperor still gnashing his teeth and saying that there was an envoy from Xiliang among the burnt people? Turn around and forget about the envoy? Forget it, whatever it is, as long as His Majesty thoroughly investigates this matter, no matter what the reason is!
An Luhuai said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I dare to swear on my life that this fire was the idea of Patriarch Geng! The servant didn't understand the conflict between him and the nobles of Xinuang Pavilion. He just gave the servant a piece of gold." Gold, and a token of the Geng family, after the slaves set fire to it, they escaped from the imperial city with the token, and died in their fief."
As he spoke, he took out gold and tokens from his pocket.
Gold is the official gold that circulates in the market, and there is no obvious reason for it, but this token is indeed the Geng family's thing.
