NOVEL WEB Chapter 30 The Pot Of Luck
In the Yangxin Hall, after learning that Zhu Ningyuan was killed by Monster Race early in the morning, the emperor was furious.
"Asshole!"
"Prince Chen was killed yesterday, and officials were killed this morning. How did you, Xia Zehai, become the commander of the patrol battalion?"
"I can't even see a single Monster Race now, so what do I need from you?"
Xia Zehai looked ashamed, lowered his head and said: "I have neglected my duty and am willing to resign from the position of commander of the patrol battalion."
Emperor Liang was just about to continue to get angry, but he was forced to endure this move of retreating in order to advance. Xia Zehai was highly skilled and had high prestige. Now that something like this happened, it was taboo to change generals temporarily, and he was even more needed to calm the situation.
"I'll give you three days. If you can't find Monster Race, submit your resignation."
Xia Zehai followed the words and said, "The last general will take orders."
Emperor Liang's anger calmed down a little, "Is there anything unusual at the Daxia envoy?"
Xia Zehai said: "I have been keeping an eye on it since yesterday. Except for the doctor who showed Chu Ling's injuries and the staff at the station, no one else has been close to the Daxia Mission. There is nothing abnormal."
"Nothing unusual..." Emperor Liang's eyes narrowed slightly. It was difficult to issue orders without anyone approaching. So who gave the order for Zhu Ningyuan's death this morning?
Could it be that it really has nothing to do with Daxia, but those Monster Races themselves are responsible?
No, Monster Race has not been discovered for so long. There must be an insider in Kyoto City. Is someone taking advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble?
Who would benefit the most from death, Lao Liu or Zhu Ningyuan?
A guess arose in Emperor Liang's mind, and his eyes were filled with gloom, but he still couldn't be sure without evidence.
But as an emperor, he is a supreme being. As long as he is his minister, he can be intimidated at any time.
Emperor Liang said: "It is passed down to the prince and the king of Chu."
…
Not long after, Xiao Chenghuan and the second prince, King Chu, entered the Yangxin Hall and were scolded by Emperor Liang. Although they were not named as their instigators, it was very clear in their words.
After coming out, Xiao Chenghuan said goodbye to King Chu, returned to the East Palace with a gloomy look, and summoned an old man who looked very elegant.
Xiao Chenghuan said: "Teacher, my father now suspects that I or the King of Chu killed Lao Liu and Zhu Ningyuan."
Cheng Wenfu, the prince's young master, consoled him: "Prince, don't panic. Your Majesty is just suspicious. There is no evidence that the prince has colluded with Monster Race."
"I know." Xiao Chenghuan said worriedly: "But now the East Palace is not inspecting it!"
"Without checking?" Cheng Wenfu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, "Is it possible that the prince..."
"Yes." Xiao Chenghuan admitted openly and said: "I did raise Monster Race in private, and it was just for fun. It has nothing to do with this Monster Race rebellion, but now as long as it is related to Monster Race It will be very troublesome to have a relationship!”
Cheng Wenfu suddenly understood and felt relieved, as long as it was not the prince who did it.
It is not uncommon for powerful people to keep Monster Race in private, but now is a sensitive period, and being discovered is a whole lot of trouble, especially for someone in a high position like the Crown Prince. As long as it is taken advantage of by someone with malicious intentions, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Prince, hurry up and throw this hot potato away. It's best to throw it at the palace of Prince Chu or even Prince Qi!"
Xiao Chenghuan denied: "No! My father already suspected that this was a fight for the right to inherit the throne. It would be too obvious to throw dirty water on them, so I wanted to ask the teacher who would be better to throw it at."
Cheng Wenfu was suddenly enlightened again. It must be said that the prince's thinking was very sharp this time. "What the prince said is that I am confused this time."
"Then it's better to throw this potato at those who have evil intentions, so that we can explain the motive of Monster Race's killings."
Xiao Chenghuan said: "Who are more likely to have evil intentions?"
Cheng Wenfu pondered for a moment and said: "Ye family, your majesty has a share of the credit for the decline of the Ye family. Why not leave it to them? It can be said that the Ye family hatched this conspiracy because they had a grudge against your majesty and the court!"
"Ye Han, the son of the previous head of the Ye family, is the best candidate."
Xiao Chenghuan's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
…
Qin Shu slowly opened his eyes from meditating.
After confirmation, the system will pop up with a prompt.
[The host conspired to assassinate Zhu Ningyuan and obtained 8000 villain points]
[The host made cracks appear in Son of Fortune Chu Ling’s invincible Taoist heart and gained 50,000 villain points]
[…]
Qin Shu frowned. Is Zhu Ningyuan's life worth such a villain? So lowly.
It's not because of the practitioners.
But what happened to this Chu Ling?
Why is it like a glass heart that breaks at every turn?
From the moment they met until now, Qin Shu suppressed him once, but gave away points three times.
Fortunately, he was still the Son of Fortune who forged the invincible Taoist heart. He couldn't understand why the heart was so fragile.
In addition, there is a reminder that 30,000 villain points were obtained.
This reminder caught Qin Shu's attention. It was the conspirator behind the evil plan that hindered this Monster Race.
Qin Shu said with great interest: "It turns out he did it..."
At this time, the maid outside came to report.
"Master Marquis, Your Highness the King of Qi, please see me."
"Please." Qin Shu said, this guy came just in time. Emperor Liang arranged for him to go to his house to do things. He wanted to seize power and use him as a ladder to reach the top. There would always be a chance to meet.
Not long after, Xiao Yian walked in under the leadership of the maid.
"His Royal Highness King Qi."
"Qin Hou, something bad has happened. My subordinate Zhu Ningyuan was killed by Monster Race. My father is furious when he finds out."
Qin Shu said regretfully: "I already know about this matter. Your Highness has lost an arm and his vitality has been severely damaged."
Xiao Yian said: "That's right, but now I have encountered something more difficult. I would like to ask Qin Hou to help me."
Qin Shu asked: "What is the difficult matter?"
Xiao Yian said: "I have a Monster Race in my palace. If it is discovered, it may cause trouble."
He added: "Don't get me wrong, Marquis Qin, what is happening in the city is not the Monster Race in my palace, but another Monster Race. I guess it is most likely related to Prince Ning of Great Xia."
"That's it..." Qin Shu thought for a moment and said, "Then your Highness, hurry up and send these Monster Races out."
Xiao Yian said: "But who is better to give it to? Prince Ning? This is the best candidate, but there are many people watching over there now, so I can't give it as a gift."
Qin Shu said: "No, give it to Ye Han of the Ye family."
After letting his uncle kill Zhu Ningyuan, things would eventually come to an end, so Qin Shu planned to throw the blame for Monster Race to Ye Han.
Son of Fortune, if you don’t frame the blame, it’s normal to take the blame, and you can increase your points, so why not do it?
Why not blame another Son of Fortune Chu Ling?
Which one has the lower chance of survival, Ye Han from the Body Refining Realm or Chu Ling from the Yuan Building Realm, after being blamed?
The answer is obvious.
He has already put Ye Han in a scapegoat. What's the problem if Xiao Yian gives him another scapegoat?
Double scapegoat, take the blame directly to death!
As for the person who actually assassinated King Chen, he would also be happy to see this happen.
Xiao Yian wondered: "Why is this person? Is there any explanation?"
Qin Shu explained: "The Ye family was in decline. As the former young master, Ye Han could not bear the poverty. For this reason, he was cynical and harbored evil intentions. He protected Monster Race in the city and helped Monster Race cause chaos."
Xiao Yian suddenly realized it and said with a grateful face: "Okay! Thank you very much, Marquis Qin, for your help! Fortunately, I have Marquis Qin!"
…
the other side.
Ye Han won the Body Refining Realm championship yesterday and was rewarded with a large amount of property by Emperor Liang. Today he went to buy some resources to prepare for training and enter the Spiritual Realm.
Because of the Monster Race, there were very few stores open today, but luckily I could buy some.
Ye Han whistled and went home happily.
"Eldest nephew, what are you so happy about?" Third Uncle Ye appeared out of nowhere, "Did it happen somewhere? Can you tell Third Uncle about it?"
Ye Han's face turned cold, and he was extremely disgusted with this relative who was robbing him of returning the betrothal gift.
"roll."
Third Uncle Ye was unhappy and pointed at Ye Han's nose and criticized, "Ye Han! Do you ever talk to your uncle like this? Do you have any etiquette..."
Ye Hanhan snorted, ignored it, entered his house and closed the door hard.
Uncle Ye was even more dissatisfied. He called a bunch of neighbors and started scolding Ye Han from a distance in his house.
This scene happened to be seen by Zhong Lin in the dark.
In order to escape, Chu Ling came up with an idea, which was to let him sacrifice one of his men to make a noise and attract Great Liang's attention. After being caught, he would take the blame and let the matter end.
Zhong Lin was heartbroken to sacrifice one of his men, but the whole city was under martial law and the search was intensified. Sooner or later, he would be discovered. He had to do this in order to survive.
But this plan also requires a reasonable hiding place. How to hide it? Is there anyone who is cooperating inside and outside? You must find it quickly.
Zhong Lin thought: "There are very few patrols in this place, so it is a good hiding place."
"The guy named Ye Han just now is so unpopular. If you blame him, the neighbors won't help him. He's a good candidate!"
