Chapter 138: Rumors? Meeting the Emperor
"hiss--"
Everyone in the field gasped and looked shocked.
This is such a severe punishment???
"Brother Bai, is this suitable for you?" Sima Kongsheng asked in surprise.
For eighth and ninth rank warriors, salary is everything, but for a genius like Chu He.
The salary paid by the Demon Prison is probably a drop in the bucket, and most people make money through tricks.
Another thing is that Chu He had just defeated the Zhenwu Sect a while ago and made a big splash. The reward resources alone were enough for him to cultivate to the fifth level.
The annual salary is one thousand taels.
Relatively speaking, it is pitifully small.
Baishan ignored him.
Instead, he looked at Chu He and asked kindly, "Prison Envoy Chu, do you have any objections?"
Chu He was puzzled.
But since someone has extended an olive branch of goodwill, there is no reason for him not to accept it, right?
"I'm sorry for the mistakes I made. I'm sorry for causing trouble to you all. I'll do as you ask." Chu He bowed and said.
"This boy is teachable!" Baishan stroked his beard and chuckled.
Then, his face darkened, and he looked at Li Canjiao and asked coldly, "Li Canjiao, as a servant of the Hu Mansion, you aided and abetted the evil. Do you...know your crime?"
"You..." Li Canjiao cursed in his heart. This old man was really cruel and partial. But Bai Shan kept his eyes on him. He did not dare to hesitate and bowed his head to confess, "I plead guilty."
"Alright." Bai Shan glanced coldly and announced directly, "Come here, put him in the Demon Refining Prison and execute him in the autumn!"
Li Canjiao's eyes dimmed, but he did not struggle and let the two inspectors drag him away.
Finally, Bai Shan looked at the man with the flat head and Hu Cheng, "You are using public property for personal gain. Come with us into the palace and await the king's judgment!"
"Hiss——" Everyone in the field froze in their tracks.
Baishan's move was very cruel. Given the old King Qian's personality, he particularly hated the misuse of public resources for personal gain. If they went in, it would be a simple matter for them to die. They were just afraid that they would end up with their property confiscated and their clan exterminated.
The two of them were also stunned.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but Bai Shan seemed to have anticipated this. With a wave of his sleeve, the two of them froze and could no longer move.
Only the eyeballs were moving.
"You two, I'll take my leave now."
Bai Shan finally looked at Sima Kongsheng and the other two and said in a deep voice.
The two nodded slightly.
Recently, the old Prince Qian has not been in good condition and is rarely seen. All matters, big or small, in the court are basically left to the Three Dukes to handle.
But this matter concerns the Third Prince, even Concubine Lan, and possibly the Li family.
In addition, it is possible that military generals are involved.
With so many things connected and affecting each other, only King Qian can make the final decision.
No one else can make the decision.
Even the Three Dukes are not allowed!
"Chu Prison Envoy, take the old ghost with you, and we will go to the palace to see the emperor."
Chu He nodded, stretched out his hand to pull the ghost old man over, pinched his neck, and then whispered to Du Xueer: "I will follow the adults into the palace, wait for me!"
Du Xueer hummed softly and said softly, "Mr. Chu, be careful."
Then, the people from the Demon Refining Department escorted a group of people and marched towards the palace in a mighty procession.
It attracted countless people on the street to watch and point.
"Hey, that Du family master is really lucky..."
"Who says it's not?"
"But the Third Prince is so wicked that he actually wants to forcibly separate a pair of lovers!"
"Ah...what does this have to do with the Third Prince???" a passerby was puzzled.
"Listen to me..." The man looked around, dragged the passerby aside, and whispered for a while. The passerby was suddenly startled and walked away with a look of surprise on his face.
Less than an hour.
In the streets of Tianjing, rumors began to spread that the third prince had ordered his servants to abduct women.
In the end, the rumors became more and more exaggerated.
There are even rumors that the third prince is fond of men and keeps dozens of "rabbits" in his mansion.
Qianwang Palace.
Inside the Zi Lan Palace, a guard was kneeling on the ground. He had just gone out for afternoon tea.
As a result, during the tea break, the news that the Third Prince was a Rabbit God spread.
Upon hearing this, he was furious. He immediately arrested the man and interrogated him. In the end, the matter was left unresolved. He realized the seriousness of the matter and hurried to the palace to ask to see Concubine Lan.
Concubine Lan is a woman with a good figure.
Although she is over forty, her face is as tender and juicy as that of an eighteen-year-old girl. Only her beautiful eyes exude a charming maturity at all times.
At this moment, she was frowning and thinking carefully, "Xuan'er, is this true?"
As the saying goes, no one knows a child better than his mother.
Just by listening to what the guards said, she felt that this was almost certain.
"I dare not speak nonsense about Your Highness the Third Prince." The guard lowered his head quickly.
The last guard who had slandered the Third Prince had his eyes still open, and his body was thrown into the dry well in the backyard waiting to be disposed of. As a guard with a bottom line, he had to stick to it.
"I forgive you!" Concubine Lan glanced at the guard.
people below.
How could she not know what he was thinking?
"Yes." The guard didn't dare to look up and whispered, "I have learned that this news was spread by a distant nephew of the second steward of the Third Prince's mansion. In addition..."
At this point, the guard stole a glance at the woman sitting above. "Also, I've checked in the Third Prince's residence and found dozens of handsome men there. It's indeed as the rumors say..."
bang——
The guard had just finished speaking.
Anger surfaced on Concubine Lan's face above, and a powerful aura of the peak fourth rank flashed across her.
The guard immediately turned into a pool of blood and mud.
"Uncle Fu, go to Xuan'er's mansion and kill all those troublemakers. Also, warn him on my behalf!"
Concubine Lan looked at the dark place behind the pillar and said in a cold tone.
Suddenly, there was a twisting sound in the darkness, and after a moment, it returned to calm.
"Xuan'er, please don't let your mother down..."
......
Prince Qian's Palace, outside the meeting hall.
Chu He didn't have to wait long before the door creaked open and a eunuch came out, saying, "Master Chu, please come in with me."
The eunuch seemed to notice Chu He's predicament.
He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Master Chu. I will take good care of this prisoner for you later!"
"I guarantee he won't suffer any loss!!!"
"Thank you, eunuch. May I know your name?" Chu He bowed and thanked him, then continued the topic in a low voice.
"Haha... Lord Chu, you can just call our Eunuch Zhang." The eunuch leading the way answered with a smile.
It's actually him? !
Zhang Xing'an, the old Qian Wang's close attendant, has been the old Qian Wang's study companion since childhood. He has followed the old Qian Wang all the way to the supreme throne and is the person the old Qian Wang trusts the most.
Of course, this alone is not enough to surprise Chu He.
Don't forget, this is a world of high-level martial arts.
This person's cultivation level is half a step to the second level!
It is the strongest shield beside the old King Qian.
Of course, Chu He had also heard another version, that Zhang Xing'an could break through to the second level at any time.
However, once he breaks through to the second level, he will have to leave the old King Qian and the King Qian Palace.
Because, the second-grade Martial Saint has a complete human body!
"He's also a ruthless person!" Chu sighed in his heart as he walked along the river.
Afterwards, he followed Eunuch Zhang into the council hall.
There were only two people in the hall.
Bai Shan sat aside with a calm expression.
Sitting on the main seat was an old man wearing a dragon robe, whose face was 90% similar to the Ninth Princess.
However, as soon as the old man opened his mouth, Chu He's heart trembled for no reason.
"Chu Prison Envoy, do you admit your guilt?"
