Chapter 406 (1/2)
After listening to the financial uncle's report, Xiao Ruixuan sneered.
Fortunately, he sent the Nighthawk to Dajin before, otherwise, if he really expected these important ministers in the court, the cauliflower would be cold, right?
”Is there any news from the Nighthawks?” Xiao Ruixuan rubbed the teacup in his hand and savored the fragrance of Longjing before the rain.
”Some news came...” Uncle Cai hesitated and said, ”nighthawks, when they arrived at wolf claw cliff, found several corpses that were not shaped by jackals under the cliff...”
As soon as Xiao Ruixuan heard this, he became shocked.
He looked at the uncle with wide eyes, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
About a quarter of an hour later, he seemed to vaguely hear his shaking voice: ”can you be sure who it is?”
”According to the Nighthawk's private letter, the clothes with two corpses are obviously more luxurious than ordinary people, and the decorations on them are all colorful gold Python...”
It's obviously more luxurious than ordinary people!
Xiao Ruixuan's eyes closed.
In the Daliang Dynasty, colorful gold Python is the exclusive decoration of the royal family! But not everyone can wear it at will.
But in addition to Prince Xiao RUIZHAO, only princess Xiao Qianshu, who went to Dajin to make peace, was awarded such an honor.
If others dare to wear such ornaments without authorization, it is a great crime of beheading!
”Are you sure?” Xiao Ruixuan closed his eyes and asked with a painful look.
”The Nighthawk said that he had already carried the two corpses in his coffin and escorted them back to Beijing in person.” The uncle said cautiously, ”listen to the Nighthawk say that jackals are rampant over there, that's why...”
He said and left half a sentence, but Xiao Ruixuan understood what he meant.
In the wilderness, there are jackals, so there are no bones!
Xiao Ruixuan closed his eyes and fell back on the back of his chair.
That's what he's worried about.
If the prince was killed, the political structure of the whole Daliang dynasty would be changed dramatically.
No one can tell whether such a change is good or bad at this time.
”How many days will you enter Beijing?” Xiao Ruixuan asked with his eyes closed.
”About three or five days to go.”
”Let me know when the time comes, and I'll pick him up into the city!”
After hearing this, the financial uncle sang ”here” and left lightly, leaving Xiao Ruixuan alone.
Five days later, the coffin escorted by the Nighthawk entered Beijing and was sent directly to shuntianfu.
Naturally, he would not reveal his identity. He only said that he was a businessman walking between the two countries. Seeing that the victim was wearing colorful golden Python clothes, he did not dare to neglect and bought two thin coffins to transport them back.
The people in shuntianfu didn't dare to neglect the clothes on the two corpses. Instead, they reported it directly.
Two days later, after multiple investigations, it was confirmed that the two incomplete corpses were today's Prince Xiao RUIZHAO and Xing'an Princess Xiao Qianshu, who were ordered to make peace. For a time, the prince's house and King Kang's house were filled with grief.
Princess Kang has fainted from crying, and Jiang Yi sits alone at the head of her bed until dawn.
Qiulan beside her, holding a white linen dress, carefully pushed the door in, but saw that the candle at the head of Jiang's bed had already been burned into a ”lump of tears”.
”Niang Niang ~!” She changed in a low voice, for fear that it would disturb Jiang Yi.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Yi turned to see that her eyes were empty, and there were still wet tears on her face.
”Just now the house of internal affairs sent people filial piety...” Qiulan face some embarrassed said.
