Unexpectedly, the golden finger was just tossing a coin. Chen Lang should have discovered this long ago. After all, when he was facing a choice in the past, Chen Lang often made a decision by tossing a coin.

The carriage splashed all the way, and as he ran, the rain gradually became smaller. Yin Baichuan looked cold and threw the whip from time to time with his right hand. He wanted to rush back to the prince's mansion as soon as possible, which was relatively safe there.

According to the agreement signed by Liang State and Xu State, the house where the princes of the two sides exchanged pledged pledges was regarded as a diplomatic place, and irrelevant personnel were not allowed to enter without permission. If they broke through, it would be equivalent to infringing on the other party's territory.

Therefore, as long as Chen Lang crosses the threshold of the Prince's Mansion, he can minimize the risk factor.

The rain seemed to have stopped.

Chen Lang lifted the curtain on the left and looked out. The rain had become less and it had not stopped completely. There were many people who were sheltering from the rain under the eaves beside the road. Their clothes were wet and tightly attached to their skin.

Da da ~

The horse slowly stopped and the prince's mansion had arrived. At this moment, Yu Mufei and Zhong Ping didn't know that something big happened in Prince Jing's mansion, but Yin Baichuan would tell them later.

Chen Lang returned to the room as quickly as possible. He took off his wet clothes and pants, Chen Lang wiped his body with a dry towel, then changed into refreshing clothes, waiting for Yu Mufei or others to come and look for him.

Although he is uncertain about what chain reactions will cause next, Chen Lang firmly believes that it is definitely not wrong to solve Zhaofenger Jiading's actions with one knife, because this knife is not only Chen Lang's obsession, but also a choice assisted by the golden finger. No matter what happens in the future, the overall situation will definitely improve, otherwise there will be no understanding of the moment when the golden finger appears.

"Bangbang~"

A soft knock on the door sounded outside.

Chen Lang guessed that he should be so gentle as Yu Mufei. If it were Zhong Ping or Yin Baichuan, he would definitely be furious.

What should come will come eventually. This time Chen Lang is determined to give up and show his strong side. No matter whether it is the prince's mansion or the emperor Xu and Liang in the palace, he will definitely be shocked.

Yu Mufei was indeed at the door. She asked anxiously: "Did you kill someone today?"

Chen Lang nodded: "I have to kill that person, just don't worry, things won't get bad."

Yu Mufei lowered his beautiful eyes: "Zhong Ping asked His Royal Highness to go to the room to talk about things."

"No!" Chen Lang said firmly, "Please tell Zhong Ping if you want to talk to me if you want to talk to me."

Yu Mufei was stunned for a moment. It took a few seconds to realize that Chen Lang, as the owner of the prince's mansion, should have the temperament of being the only one who takes the lead. Otherwise, if he would be suppressed by the butler under the eaves, what would he talk about counterattacks?

Chen Lang turned around and gently covered the door, then took out candied fruit and melon seeds from the drawer, put a few teacups on it, sat quietly, waiting for Zhong Ping and Yin Baichuan to arrive.

In fact, Chen Lang was very panicked. From the moment the dagger penetrated Zhaofenger's chest, his emotions were always in an excited state. Maybe it was not visible on the surface, but all the cells in his body were already boiling and burning.

After waiting for about five minutes, Zhong Ping and Yin Baichuan arrived. Close the door and then pulled the screen tightly. Zhong Ping asked with a face: "Who did you kill today?"

Chen Lang pretended to be calm and said, "A Zhaofenger's kid who didn't know his name."

Zhong Ping's voice trembled: "But he is a servant of Prince Jing's Mansion."

"Yes." Chen Lang slowed down his speech, "This person tried to kill me in the name of playing games several times. I once mentioned it to General Yin Baichuan, but General Yin didn't seem to believe it."

Hearing this, Zhong Ping turned his head to look at Yin Baichuan. Yin Baichuan's face darkened: "This is indeed the case. But I always think that the servants of Prince Jing's Mansion will not really attack the prince."

Zhong Ping thought about it, not to mention Yin Baichuan didn't believe it, he didn't believe it either. But now the death case has led to a death case, so he can only take the blame on the Zhaofenger Kin.

Chen Lang picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for Zhong Ping and Yin Baichuan's cups. Chen Lang was a little worried at first, but now he is not worried. Judging from the expressions and tone of the two, it can be judged that they have caused a big disaster, so they can only stand on Chen Lang's side.

Warning of the Dark World Judgment?

At least Yin Baichuan will not release him today. What if Chen Lang is beaten to the point where he can't speak, and Emperor Xu suddenly comes to the prince's mansion to start a military conviction?

"Drink tea." Chen Lang made a gesture of invitation.

Zhong Ping picked up the teacup. Before entering the door, he thought about scaring Chen Lang, but depending on the current situation, it is completely unnecessary to scare something. He should hurry up and discuss countermeasures to be the top priority.

Alas ~

Yin Baichuan suddenly sighed heavily. From the time when the incident happened until now, Yin Baichuan was very guilty. He gritted his teeth and said, "Do you need me to guard the gate? Whoever dares to break through will kill me, I will kill you with one knife."

Zhong Ping shook his head: "No need. According to the armistice agreement, the Prince's Mansion regards it as the land of Liang State, and I believe no one dares to break through. What's more, the only one who kills is a servant. Unless Emperor Xu's head is broken, the Prince's Mansion will definitely be safe."

Chen Lang asked tentatively after hearing this, "So I just need to hide?"

Zhong Ping whispered: "In theory, Emperor Xu would not destroy the armistice agreement between the two countries just because of a servant, but it is difficult to guarantee that some people in the court can take advantage of the situation. In short, it will definitely be better for the prince to hide for the time being."

"Then hide." Chen Lang immediately agreed. He probably understood that this prince's mansion was equivalent to Liang's land. Unless Emperor Xu personally issued an order, no one could break in and take Chen Lang away.

"Hmph!" Zhong Ping suddenly became harsh, "After the wind, you must reflect on your behavior. It has been less than a month since you entered Xu State, and such a big incident happened. Emperor Liang must be very unhappy when he knows it. You must know that how we live in Huaining depends largely on the relationship between the two countries. Do you understand this?"

"I understand." Chen Lang replied in a low voice. From the surface, Chen Lang seemed to have a reflection, but in his heart, he was extremely convinced that he had done this matter right today, and Chen Lang seemed to have figured out the direction of what to do in the future.

...

Almost at the same time, Xu Guoyu's study room was also discussing this matter. After Emperor Xu received the news, his first order was to strictly block the relevant news in order to prevent changes.

At this moment, the drizzle was still drizzling. The Minister of Revenue Lu Xuan, Minister of War Linghu Suting, and Minister of Personnel Ou Jian were waiting outside the imperial study room. They stood under another eaves and whispered.

King Jing, King Xi, and the third princess knelt side by side on the floor of the imperial study room, not even daring to show off.

"The emperor calms down and take care of the dragon's body." Eunuch Jia lowered his head slightly.

"Are you sure that a servant died today?" Xu Huang asked expressionlessly.

"Only he died, and there were no other casualties." The third princess lowered her voice, "It's only because he attacked the Prince of Liang with stones, but unexpectedly he was killed."

Counterattack!

Emperor Xu asked in disbelief: "In this way, is that servant who is the one who takes action first? Can't he control him just a servant?"

This statement was obviously said by King Jing, and the third princess cannot replace the answer.

Although King Jing is young, in Xu State, some 14-year-old men have been recruited into the army, and some 14-year-old women have married women. Therefore, King Jing, who is over 11 years old, cannot completely treat him as a child.

Especially when you are born in the imperial family, the sooner you show your maturity, the more chance you have.

King Jing is a very smart prince. Since he invited Chen Lang to the mansion to participate in the game, he must have the intention to make friends with the future Emperor of Liang. Unfortunately, Xu and Liang had fought for several years, and suddenly turned enemies into friends in their minds, which led to the atmosphere becoming strange during the game and even began to go astray.

I believe this kind of off-the-scenes style also affected the Feng Er Kwok who was killed by Chen Lang.

Of course, as long as King Jing understands the above, he must not say it out.

He knelt on the floor and pretended to be innocent and said: "The servants were not recruited by the emperor. After the accident, the emperor heard that the murdered servants had their relatives died on the battlefield. At that time, the opposing party of the war was Liang State. Perhaps, this is the deep-seated reason why he resented the prince of Liang State."

"It seems that you admit that it was the fault of Prince Jing's Mansion first?" Xu Huang frowned.

"It was the emperor who invited the Prince of Liang to participate in the game. Since the murdered servant was more careful and responsible in daily life, he was arranged to be the referee. This person was a little harsh on the Prince of Liang out of selfishness. I think the Prince of Liang must be pampered in daily life and cannot stand some harshness in the referee, so he picked up the dagger and killed him directly."

King Jing bowed his head and told the whole story.

It has to be said that the eleven-year-old King Jing embellished the whole process very well. He first stated that the servants recruited within the royal palace had nothing to do with him, so he was exempted from the greatest responsibility; then he emphasized the reason for letting this person be the referee; and then used the personality background of the Prince of Liang and the servants, the reason for the case was perfectly explained.

In place!

"Is this true?" Xu Huang raised his voice and asked.

King Jing buried his head lower: "Everything that the emperor said is true."

Emperor Xu then asked King Xi and the third princess: "You were there at that time, why didn't you speak?"

Upon hearing this, King Xi and the third princess hurriedly said, "What King Jing said is right."

Emperor Xu drank a sip of tea and entered a state of brief contemplation. In fact, in the eyes of an emperor, the life of a mere Feng Er Jiading was no different from that of an ant. He was shaken by the armistice agreement he had just signed? It didn't exist.

However, this incident involves King Jing. The Prince of Liang broke into King Xu's mansion and killed people. If it spread, wouldn't it be laughed at?

Therefore, Emperor Xu must take an attitude. If this matter can be made well, he might be able to blackmail something to Liang Guo.

"Father!" King Jing, who was still kneeling on the floor, said in a deep voice, "My son believes that this matter should not be spread and affected. Mr. Yuan has a compromise. I don't know if it is feasible?"

"Tell me." Xu Huang said majesticly. At this moment, he really wanted to hear what King Jing came up with. After all, King Jing is the most favored prince. It is perfect to use this matter to test King Jing's wisdom and means.

King Jing suddenly changed to a serious tone: "The Prince of Liang killed people in Xu's territory. It is said that corresponding punishment must be given, but Xu and Liang had just signed an armistice agreement, so the son-in-law believes that it should be handled in a low-key manner."

"Continue talking." Xu Huang said in a deep voice.

"The deceased is a servant of the Prince Jing's Mansion, and the Prince Jing's Mansion is obliged to bury him. However, the burial cost must be borne by the Prince Liang State, and the Prince Liang State must attend the funeral in person and kneel down in front of his grave." King Jing said seriously.

After listening to this plan carefully, Emperor Xu laughed. The Third Princess and others didn't understand why Emperor Xu was laughing, and they all looked at the sometimes kind and sometimes majestic father in front of him with fear.

After pausing for a moment, Xu Huang stroked the beard on his face:

"Actually, I have heard earlier that Prince Liang visited Prince Jing's Mansion and participated in the game. I think this is done well, but I didn't expect that Prince Liang would dare to commit crimes in the palace in broad daylight. However, this murder is beyond your control. Don't blame yourself too much, stand up."

Upon hearing this, the third princess and others stood up in a hurry. The third princess was rubbing her knees. It really hurts after kneeling for a long time.

Xu Huang continued: "The solution proposed by the emperor just now has a good starting point and a clear idea. However, it is probably a bit ideal to ask the Prince of Liang to attend the funeral and kneel down and kowtow. I guess that the Prince of Liang will definitely not agree, and Liang will definitely not agree."

"Yes, the emperor is not considerate enough." King Jing bowed.

"I am already very satisfied when you think of this." Xu Huang said, "You guys go out. It's no big deal to die a servant. Don't affect your mood."

Cut ~

Because the dead servants affect my mood, I won’t! The third princess pursed her lips, she looked up and took steps, leaving the imperial study side by side with King Jing Xi.

They had only walked for half a minute, and the Minister of Revenue Lu Xuan, Minister of Revenue, Linghu Suting, Minister of War, and Minister of Personnel Ou Jian, who were guarding outside, entered the imperial study room under the leadership of Eunuch Jia.

...

As the night enveloped, Chen Lang suddenly became enlightened.

After killing Zhaofenger's family, Chen Lang thought about all kinds of tragic consequences. He went to prison, was besieged, chased, and even his identity was exposed. Chen Lang felt that it was possible, but he did not think of the real possibility.

——Earlier, Eunuch Jia asked for a meeting, and he carried a letter written by Emperor Xu.

The letter was brief, and the general idea was to ask Liang State to bear the funeral expenses of Zhaofenger's family and to compensate the Jingwang Mansion for the original purchase of Zhaofenger's family, as well as living expenses and fines. The compensation was in place, and the matter was written off.

Hehe~

Seeing this letter, Chen Lang almost laughed out loud. He heard that Xu's family members were divided into two categories: one was signed for a lifetime contract, and the other was relatively free to sell for several years to get a salary. It was obvious that the first category was belonging to the previous category.

The choice made by Golden Finger helps was indeed correct. Killing the Zhaofenger Kin, who was too immersed in the role, was just to pay some money. The prince’s mansion contained a lot of money, but this money could not be turned into Chen Lang’s private property, so he took some out for compensation, and Chen Lang didn’t feel any pain at all.

As for Liang State, I'm afraid that the news has not been received yet, so what if I receive it? At most, let Zhong Ping and Yin Baichuan keep a close eye on it and give some punishment measures. Just punish it. Anyway, Chen Lang has figured it out that as long as the boundaries are not completely crossed, Liang State will definitely protect him at a critical moment.
