King Pingyuan was the uncle of Emperor Shengwen, an older generation figure. He has been in charge of the government for many years and has also had a high prestige in the army.
Thinking of this information, Xiao Ran frowned. The Nirvana Holy Pill was obviously used to treat the plum blossom poison. Could it be that he was also infected with the plum blossom poison? Or was he taking action this time to treat the prince behind him?
With his identity, if you want to have the Holy Blood of Nirvana, you can ask Emperor Shengwen openly. No matter how good the treasure is, it is a treasure after all. With his face, Emperor Shengwen will not refute it, and most of them will reward this treasure.
But now he chose to steal the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue.
This matter will definitely not be that simple!
Even if it was done by King Pingyuan, there was a huge conspiracy behind it.
Thinking of this.
Xiao Ran looked at him coldly, not knowing what was going on, facing his eyes, Marquis Wu Li panicked again, as if facing the biggest terror in the world, and his palms were pressed on the ground in panic, and again
He retreated to the back, shook his head while retreating: "What do you want to do?"
"I'm going to give you a chance, but I don't know how to cherish it! I'm still thinking about being petty."
Seeing this.
Marquis Wu Li climbed up from the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy, crying and there was no dignity of the marquis, even a dog was worse than: "Really! I didn't lie to you, it was really King Pingyuan who instructed me.
Yes, he told me that Your Majesty is about to lose his life. As long as I am willing to help, he will make me the king of the opposite sex when things are done."
Xiao Ran grasped the key point, this is the key.
Without great benefits, it would be impossible to instruct a marquis to work hard for him and do such a big case.
But there is still a little doubt. When will Emperor Sheng Wen be unable to do it? Why hasn't he heard of any news?
With the power he currently possesses, if Emperor Sheng Wen really wants to die, he will learn it as soon as possible.
In this way, there is a huge conspiracy hidden in it.
Either he wants to rebel or the prince behind him wants to attack Emperor Sheng Wen.
Xiao Zhou also knew the seriousness of the matter and asked in a deep voice: "What should Brother Xiao do now?"
Bang!
Xiao Ran angrily knocked a chestnut on his head and glared at him: "It's been so long, can't you use your brain to think about it when you encounter something?"
"Isn't this you there? As long as you are there, I'm too lazy to use my brain. It's so easy." Xiao Zhou touched his head and smiled proudly.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to use his brain. When he is with Xiao Ran and the others, he can do whatever he says and execute the command to the end.
This will also save a lot of brain cells.
I have to say, this guy is quite clever.
"Let Sister Yan deal with you!" Xiao Ran gave him a blank look.
He said in a deep voice.
"Take them up and go to the Pingyuan Prince's Mansion! I want to see what medicine is sold in the Pingyuan Prince's gourd!"
Xiao Zhou summoned the members of the Divine Sword Guards around him and escorted them to the Pingyuan Palace.
The movements here have alarmed everyone.
Don't look at it, no one jumped out to stop it. One is that he didn't dare to be involved and got himself involved. The other is that Xiao Ran's reputation is too big. Not only is he highly cultivated, but his power is also terrifying.
The woven relationship network has reached a super terrifying level.
This matter has nothing to do with me, so there is no need to offend him.
The eldest prince and the second prince also received news. In their opinion, it was just an ordinary case. Even if the stolen Ministry of Revenue lost 100 million silver and some precious treasures, there was no need to make such a fuss, right?
The murderous intent actually used a magnificent knife to send out Xiao Ran, a big killing weapon. While feeling that he was useless, he felt a little confused. Is there still an unknown huge conspiracy hidden here?
At this point, they dare not take it lightly anymore.
The third prince and others are still vivid in their minds, as if they happened yesterday. If you accidentally capsize your ship in the gutter at any time, they don’t want to die, nor do they want everything they have done over the years to be wasted.
Immediately sent someone to investigate and issued a death order to find out what is hidden in the case and what ulterior secrets are hidden behind it.
In the dark.
The spies from various major forces were hiding in the dark, looking at them coldly, waiting for the results to come out, and then the news was sent back as soon as possible.
soon.
Xiao Ran and his group stopped outside the Pingyuan Palace.
The guard at the door lowered his head, his face looked sad, and he felt a lot of sorrow, and a sad atmosphere filled the air, as if something major had happened.
The head guard hurried forward, bowed with fists, and said respectfully: "I have met the Marquis!"
Xiao Ran's brows froze, looking in the direction inside through the yard, a sad atmosphere enveloped the palace. At the same time, the expressions on their faces were also seen in their eyes, and they guessed in their hearts, did King Pingyuan commit suicide?
There is no other explanation other than that.
Furthermore.
Once he committed suicide, the clues he has tracked down now will be interrupted, and the case will end here unless there are other clues.
Before he could speak, Xiao Zhou was the first to ask: "What's going on with you?"
"I, my prince just now, his old illness relapsed and he has left the world!"
Xiao Zhou didn't say anything anymore, looked at Xiao Ran, waiting for his orders.
Xiao Ran ordered: "Take us here."
"Please!" The guard leader made a gesture of invitation and took them into his stomach.
After a while.
When they arrived at the backyard, the Divine Sword Guard stayed outside with Dan Wudao and Wu Lihou. Their pipa bones had been blocked. Even if they wanted to struggle, they could not make waves, let alone escape.
Xiao Ran and Xiao Zhou entered the room, in the bedroom, his family hugged his body and cried in a mess.
Seeing that Xiao Ran was coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
Xiao Ran nodded and looked at King Pingyuan's body. From the outside, it looked like it was poisoned or hell. There were three more serious secret injuries on his chest, which were now cracked, which made him
Life is coming to an end, and coupled with his age, everything is reasonable.
If it weren't for this incident today, King Pingyuan would have died now, he might have believed it.
But as soon as he found evidence, he found out that the mastermind was King Pingyuan, and he died. Not to mention him, no one would believe it.
Looking at his family members, he asked coldly: "What did he explain before he died?"
"No!"
"I am talking to you now, and that is giving you a chance. If you don't know how to praise you, you will not be here, but in the prison. From now on, you will not see the sunshine."
"Mr. Marquis, really not!"
"He is too naive. Do you think this will protect you?" Xiao Ran sneered.
Turn around and leave.
A group of people looked at each other, wanting to ask questions but dare not, and they communicated with each other with their eyes.
"Brother Xiao just let it go?"
"You didn't hear what I said?"
Xiao Zhou slapped his head and realized that King Pingyuan had been involved in the case of theft of the Ministry of Revenue's warehouse. Now he still has the possibility of rebellion. Regardless of whether he died or not, his family would suffer with him. With a wave of his hand,
Immediately ordered: "Take everyone away and detain them all in the heavenly prison! If there is any resistance, kill them without mercy!"
The guards in the royal palace, I don’t know what to do.
Seeing that they had not thrown down their weapons, the Divine Sword Guard had already rushed up and killed them. Seeing this, the remaining people realized that they were no longer high-ranking servants of the royal palace and had become prisoners. They were hurrying
Throw down the weapon in his hand, hold his head in his hands, and squat on the ground to surrender.
Resist?
It doesn't exist. Not to mention that the people in front of us are fierce and evil Divine Sword Guards, even if they were ordinary officers and soldiers, they would not dare to use their courage.
If you really do that, not only will they die, but even their families will suffer together.
soon.
All the people in the royal palace, including these servants, were arrested, and even a dog was not spared. The door was locked and sealed.
At this point, the Pingyuan Palace was completely finished.
Taking them, Xiao Ran walked towards the Heavenly Prison.
When I arrived at Zhuque Avenue, I told Xiao Zhou to go there first, hand over these people to Zhang Yu, and turned around and walked towards the Divine Sword Guard. If such a big thing happened, if I moved again, I would involve the prince. He was afraid that he would do it himself.
At that time, Emperor Sheng Wen would jump out. After all, the relationship between them was very bad and no one could guarantee what would happen at that time.
Let Lei Yuantai enter the palace and give the right to choose to himself. If he doesn't choose not to do it, he will not ask about the follow-up matters. Even if the prince really rebels, he will not ask about it. He will wait and see them plot against the rebellion.
.
When the opportunity is right, he will replace it.
He didn't want to leave this step, as long as Emperor Sheng Wen didn't force him.
If you really want to take this step, there will be many preparations in the secret, including the army, officials, top powerhouses, etc., which must be won over.
Arrived at the Divine Sword Guard.
Seeing that he was coming, the guards at the door saluted respectfully.
Xiao Ran went deeper and stopped outside Lei Yuantai's yard.
"Go and report to Master Lei Jian, even if I am here."
Lei Yuantai knew that he had come over. With his cultivation level, nothing could be hidden from him. A confidant walked over and stopped in front of him: "I have seen the Marquis!"
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded.
"The Sword Lord lets you go!"
Entered the yard.
Xiao Ran entered the study room. Lei Yuantai was sitting on the chair and was reading a book. A pot of tea had already been brewed next to him. When he saw him coming, he put down the teapot, poured a cup, placed it opposite him, and signaled him to sit down.
After walking over, Xiao Ran sat next to him.
He held the tea cup and held the tea lid for a few times. The rich aroma of tea came from it. Before he could drink it, the fragrance had already arrived.
After taking a sip, the tea tasted strong and the aftertaste was endless, and it took a long time to dissipate.
After drinking a cup of tea, I poured another cup of tea for myself, and I didn't rush to drink it. I smiled and joked: "You are quite good at enjoying it."
"At the realm of Lei, if you want to further your cultivation level, it is difficult to reach the sky. The power is the same. You are already at the highest level and you cannot be promoted. Unless you are like you, you can find another shortcut and make contributions on the battlefield, but
This road is so difficult. Not to mention that the fight has not started yet, even if you want to fight and become a marquis, you must at least make great contributions or take over a state." Lei Yuantai said.
After chatting.
Get to the point.
Lei Yuantai looked serious and said seriously: "How far have you found?"
Xiao Ran briefly said the matter.
After listening.
Lei Yuantai looked serious and his face was full of solemnity. He did not rush to speak. He stretched out his fingers and tapped the table, as if he was thinking. After a long time, he spoke: "What are you going to do?"
"Isn't it what I plan to do? Is it what he plans to do?"
Lei Yuantai knew what Xiao Ran meant and knew the festival between them.
Otherwise, with the contributions made by Xiao Ran last time, such a great contribution would be enough to be a king, and in the end he was only a "Wu Shuang Hou". This is because the contributions were too great that he could not suppress them. Otherwise, he might even be a marquis.
Don't want to block it!
"I'm determined to stand on your side."
Stand up from the chair, move your body, and sighed: "When I am old, I thought I would have been enjoying my old age, but I didn't expect that now I still need to move."
"Don't participate, it's not good for you." Xiao Ran shook his head.
"I'm not afraid of you, what's there to be afraid of?"
Looking at the direction of the palace, his temperament changed, his elegance and easy-goingness disappeared, replaced by his fierce, firm, unyielding, and sharp: "Waiting for my good news!"
Xiao Ran also stood up from the chair: "Do you want me to go there with you?"
"You may have aroused his suspicion in the past, and thought you had set up a plan on purpose and wanted to catch them all in one go."
"I'll wait for your news."
Xiao Ran did not insist anymore. Some things didn't need to be said too clearly, especially when they arrived at their position and said too clearly, they would have no meaning at all.
Immediately left his yard and walked towards my own yard.
When Shen Yiming learned that he was coming, he put down what he was doing and rushed over. After entering the yard, he closed the door. Xiao Ran took out a pot of Du Tianzui, poured two cups, and the two of them touched each other.
After drinking the wine in the glass, Shen Yiming couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on?"
"It involves the prince." Xiao Ran did not hide it and said in detail.
Looking at the direction of the palace, Shen Yiming's eyes flashed, "This time it is really a difficult problem for him."
And said.
"He can only wake up for one hour every day. Even if he breaks the time apart, there is not much time left. He must make a decision in a short time. I wonder if he will get angry."
Xiao Ran smiled and said that he had to do it no matter what the decision was made.
"No matter what the result is, if it is useful, I will only say a word at any time. As long as I get the news, I will immediately take someone to help you."
"Thank you!" Xiao Ran raised his glass and touched him, and the two of them drank the wine in the glass in one go.
Shen Yiming said again: "Which prince do you doubt it did it?"
