In Princess Liaoyang's mansion, after Xiang Xiaoqiang and Zhu Yourong kissed passionately, the two tidied up their clothes and came out and returned to the front hall. Fourteen Princess looked at them sourly with an ambiguous expression, while Xiao Wu also lowered his head and smiled shyly.
Zhu Yourong saw them like this and looked back at Xiang Xiaoqiang. He was even more ashamed. He lowered his head, his face was red, and he murmured something that he didn't know what to say, meaning he was going back. Xiang Xiaoqiang saw Zhu Yourong looked like
She looked like she was about to die of embarrassment, and she cursed in her heart that this girl had no future. It was just a kiss and nothing happened, but she acted like everything had happened. No wonder Shi Shigege looked at her like this.
He walked past Shi Shi Ge Ge, and Shi Shi Ge Ge whispered:
"Congratulations in advance, Prince Xiang."
Xiang Xiaoqiang said in a low voice:
"Don't guess, there is nothing."
Then he raised his voice and said to Zhu Yourong's back:
"Your Majesty, are you here just to see me?"
Zhu Yourong's face turned even redder. She turned around and glanced at Shi Shigege. She tried hard to maintain the empress' demeanor, her face was red but she smiled and said:
"Oh...oh...you mean..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang said sternly:
"Don't you, Your Majesty, want to see the person behind the murder of King Yanping?"
Zhu Yourong was shocked, his face stopped blushing immediately, he stared at Xiang Xiaoqiang and murmured:
"You mean...Sawang Susi? He is here?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't speak, just nodded, said "Your Majesty, please follow me", then turned around and strode out.
…
Zhu Yourong followed Xiang Xiaoqiang and Shi Shigege back, followed the path between the courtyards, and came to an independent small stone house. The small stone house was unremarkable, with moss growing on the stone base and stone walls.
It is covered with green ivy.
A small but heavy wooden door was covered with stains. Fourteen reached out and gently pushed it open. Then he reached out and touched a certain place. The light inside came on. A cool breath came to his face.
Zhu Yourong looked inside and saw a stone staircase leading deep underground.
This time, Fourteen Princess did not let Zhu Yourong "invite first", but took the lead and walked down. Xiang Xiaoqiang followed closely. Zhu Yourong followed Xiang Xiaoqiang and walked down without hesitation.
She carefully held on to the damp stone wall and carefully walked down the greasy stone steps. She began to wonder in her heart: Could it be that there is a dungeon in Princess Liaoyang's mansion?... This dungeon looks old, but it doesn't look like it.
Princess Liaoyang built a new house. Could it be that it was built by the previous owner? I gave this house to Princess Liaoyang. I really didn’t take a closer look at it at the time... What did the previous owner of this house do?
She didn't let her think too much. After walking about ten steps, the stone steps seemed to be at the end. Another small door appeared in front of her. Two big men were sitting there. When they saw them coming in, they immediately stood up and stood at attention. Zhu Yourong saw them.
There was a small table in front of him with two submachine guns on it.
Xiang Xiaoqiang said something to them, and the two men took out their keys and turned to open the door. After the door opened, a strong aroma of wine hit their nostrils.
Zhu Yourong suddenly understood that this was not a dungeon, but a wine cellar.
The tunnel inside is dimly lit, with small arched compartments on both sides. There are no doors, only iron bars. Through the iron bars, you can see many wine jars stacked inside, including large jars, small jars, pottery jars, and
A more exquisite blue and white porcelain jar. The aroma of the wine is more intense. Even Zhu Yourong, who is not very good at drinking liquor, finds it extremely mellow.
After walking a few steps, the tunnel turned a corner. The agent in front opened another door, several people entered, and then closed the door again.
There is another small table here, and two agents are sitting here guarding it with submachine guns. This section of the tunnel is similar to the one before, with dim lighting and small arched cubicles on both sides. But it is not as good as before.
It has a strong smell of wine, but a light sourness and wood smell. Zhu Yourong's expert nose can tell immediately that this is the smell of aged wine and oak barrels. This should be the place where foreign wine is stored.
Sure enough, behind the iron bars on both sides were not wine jars, but neatly stacked oak barrels. The name and year were written in chalk on the outside of each small barrel.
Zhu Yourong followed them to the very back. There was no wine in the innermost cubicle. Behind the iron fence, there was a floor bunk, and an old man in his fifties was sitting on it, leaning against the wall.
When the old man saw the person coming, he opened one eye and glanced around. Suddenly his gaze stopped on Zhu Yourong. All of a sudden, both eyes opened wider and wider. The indifferent look just now was gone and replaced by
It's fear. Jaw-dropping fear.
Zhu Yourong stood quietly, looking at him through an iron fence, her hands squeezing the white filial belt around her waist, trembling. She bit her lip, her face getting paler.
Both Xiang Xiaoqiang and Shi Shigege secretly looked at Zhu Yourong's face. They saw tears in Zhu Yourong's eyes, and something that rarely appeared in her eyes - hatred.
…
After coming up from the wine cellar, the three of them returned to the front hall and discussed what to do next. Both Xiang Xiaoqiang and Shi Shigege noticed that after the look of hatred faded, Zhu Yourong always had a layer of crimson on his cheeks, and his expression also showed
Very energetic and full of hope.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was also very moved, knowing that Zhu Yourong had been emotionally tortured to the point of collapse during this period. She once thought that she was destined to "serve the country and the people", so she buried her love with her own hands. But after this incident
It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. The prince of Siam changed from a prospective fiancé to a murderer. From then on, she could finally let go of her psychological burden and taste sweet love with Xiang Xiaoqiang. Although there was still a huge identity gap between the two,
At this moment, it didn't seem to be a problem for Zhu Yourong.
Even the huge obstacle of the Prince of Siam can't stop them, so what else can stop them from coming together?
Now, Zhu Yourong's eyes showed happiness even when she heard Xiang Xiaoqiang's revenge plan for her.
According to the opinions discussed by Xiang Xiaoqiang and Shi Shigege, they believe that the Siamese prince must die. No matter whether the evidence currently in hand can be brought to court or not, the Siamese prince is finished. But the key is not the evidence, but the relationship between the two countries.
question.
After all, Prince Ananta is the legal heir of the Kingdom of Siam. He came to visit the Ming Dynasty. No matter what the reason, what crime he committed, and how conclusive evidence there is, he died in the Ming Dynasty anyway. This fact is a heavy blow to the relationship between the two countries.
of blow.
Of course, based on what the prince did in the Ming Dynasty and looking at the evidence, even the old king of Siam could not say anything and could only be convinced. But you can imagine: Zhang San and Li Si
Originally they had a good relationship and were all friends, but one day Zhang San’s son beat Li Si’s son to death, and then Zhang San’s son was caught and shot. Although the evidence was conclusive, Zhang San was convinced and had nothing to say.
, but will the two families still have the same relationship in the future? Even if they are not enemies, they will become strangers.
Therefore, the Fourteenth Princess suggested that people should be sent to secretly contact the second prince of Siam, Bhumibol Adulyadej, especially with Bhumibol’s mother, Princess Kunsita. Princess Kunsita wanted to make her own
The son overthrew Prince Ananta and became the king. In this way, he established a "quasi-diplomatic" relationship with their mother and son in advance to show that Ming Dynasty supported them. In this way, even if Prince Ananta died in Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty would still be able to get the next ruler of Siam.
die-hard support.
In this way, Ming Dynasty would have more freedom when dealing with Prince Ananta, and he could do whatever he wanted. Whether he was convicted after sufficient evidence (sent him back to Siam after trial, and killed him with the help of the new king),
The evidence is still insufficient, so if we keep it secret (kill him in Ming Dynasty), there won't be any big problem.
The two gave Zhu Yourong some analysis, and Zhu Yourong also understood the relationship, and she also felt that this was the best way. So, she asked Xiang Xiaoqiang to secretly send people from the People's Guard to Bangkok to communicate with Prince Bhumibol and his son.
…
In a magnificent building on Changping Road, the French Cartier jewelry company rented a floor here as its headquarters in Nanjing. It was also the office headquarters in Daming. Cartier, the top jewelry and luxury brand of later generations, was founded in 1847
As of 1936, it has a history of nearly 90 years. In 1902, Edward VII of the United Kingdom once praised it as "the emperor of jewelers, the emperor's jeweler". Indeed, this brand has almost become the crown and royal brand of all major royal families.
Jewelry processor, customers include royal families from all over the world.
Its "hardcore fans" of course also include Zhu Yourong, Zheng Yucong, and recently Xiang Xiaoqiang's two wives. Now, Prince Ananta is patronizing it.
Although the senior executives at Cartier's Nanjing headquarters had received instructions from Dongchang, they were still caught off guard by the prince's sudden arrival. They all greeted Jiang Meilu unnaturally and called him "Manager Jiang."
"Manager Jiang" took the prince and Pachai into the deputy manager's office. It is said that the work of Dongchang was relatively well done. Although it is logically unlikely that the prince would come here in person, they still arranged for the general manager and deputy manager to come here in person.
The manager took these two days off as a precaution. Now it seems that this arrangement has come in handy.
In the office, Jiang Meilu asked people to bring a lot of various finished jewelry products and raw gemstones. Then he invited the company's chief jewelry designer in and asked him to communicate with the prince.
Prince Ananta pretended to admire the jewelry on the plate, picked up several raw materials of gemstones, and chatted very speculatively with the designer.
"Hahaha... That's great..." The prince chatted happily, laughed heartily, patted the designer on the shoulder, praised repeatedly, turned around and asked, "Miss Jiang, now my mind is full of inspiration.
, I can't wait to draw the ring pattern for His Majesty... In this state, I don't drink tea. Miss Jiang, is there any more refreshing drink, such as champagne?"
Jiang Meilu was startled, then she laughed and asked the designer with her eyes. The designer gave her a positive reply, saying that the company had champagne. Jiang Meilu agreed with a smile, and then went out in person. After a while, he gave her a cup of champagne.
He came in with a silver-plated ice bucket and four glasses. In the ice bucket was a large bottle of champagne.
Pachai was very anxious beside him, thinking that he had to run away now. Why do you still have the heart to drink champagne, Your Highness?
Jiang Meilu wrapped the champagne bottle in a towel and poured a glass of champagne for everyone with a smile. The prince picked up the glass and said with a smile:
"Come, cheers to Her Majesty the Queen, to the friendship between Ming and Siam, and to our happy cooperation!"
With a pleasant sound, the four people, who had their own evil intentions, drank the wine in their glasses. Jiang Meilu poured another glass for each of them.
The prince did not toast this time, but smiled and seemed to be in a good mood. He walked to the large window with the cup in his hand, and suddenly looked at a few cars on the parking lot downstairs and sighed:
"Oh, the car is so nice. When will we in Siam be able to produce our own cars... Well, there is a very beautiful car down there. Miss Jiang, is that yours?"
Jiang Meilu was not the manager here, and of course there was no car here. But she still asked "which one" and walked to the window. The designer also followed her to take a look.
The prince pointed to an inconspicuous little black car below and said:
"That kind of car is very beautiful, with a kind of simple beauty. Sometimes I imagine that I am not a prince, but just a middle-class young man who drives this kind of car to go to work in a foreign company every day... Haha..."
The designer spoke later:
"Oh, Your Highness, that car is mine."
The prince looked very surprised, turned around and confirmed:
"Is that car yours?"
"Haha, yes, that's right."
"You have your car keys with you?"
The designer was a little surprised and didn't know why the prince asked. The prince smiled and said:
"Oh, oh... don't be surprised, I just had a whim for a moment, thinking about what it would be like if I didn't ride in a bulletproof car, but a civilian vehicle like this... Haha, but it's impossible, now my
Safety is still threatened, forget what I said..."
He drank the wine in the glass as he spoke, shook his head, returned to the table, grabbed the champagne bottle and poured himself some wine.
At the same time, he signaled to Pachai with his peripheral vision. Pachai narrowed his eyes slightly to show that he had received it.
Jiang Meilu was a little embarrassed, but also came over with a smile, wanting to pour wine for the prince.
"Bang!!!"
There was a muffled sound, and as the prince waved his arm, the champagne bottle was slammed on the back of Jiang Meilu's head. Jiang Meilu didn't say a word and fell directly to the ground. At the same time, Pa Guai took out his pistol and pointed it at the designer.
.
The designer was stunned with fear. He stared at the muzzle of the gun in front of him and then at Jiang Meilu who fell to the ground. His throat was rolling and he couldn't make any sound.
"Bang!!!"
The prince swung the wine bottle from behind again, and the designer received another heavy blow and fell to the ground with a pale face.
The prince waved his hand at Pachai, and the two of them rushed towards Jiang Meilu and the designer respectively. Pachai quickly found the car key from the designer, and the prince rummaged through Jiang Meilu's body, but did not find the pistol. But he quickly found the car key from the designer.
Her suitcase was found again, and a pistol was found inside.
Jiang Meilu's pistol was relatively small, so the prince put it in his sock, lowered his trouser leg, and concealed it well. Then he took the other gun from Pachai and stuck it in his waist.
The two of them carried Jiang Meilu and the designer and put them into the filing cabinet in the office, then closed the cabinet door. Then they quickly tidied up the floor and desk, as if nothing had happened.
Then, Pachai unscrewed the door, went out to look around, and found no one in the corridor. With a wave, the prince also flashed out the door, lowered the brim of his hat, found the nearest staircase, and went downstairs in a low-key manner.
The two of them went out from the back door of the building, walked around to the front, and hid in an alley. Pachai sneaked to the parking lot first, took out the key pretending to be nonchalant, drove the designer's car, got in and started it. At this time, the prince
He quickly ran out of the alley and got in the car.
The two drove away smoothly and naturally, onto Changping Road, and headed east.
Pachai drove the car, trembling with excitement. The prince fell on the back of the back seat, let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile:
"Now we have a car, three guns, more than 10,000 yuan, and most importantly, we still have at least an hour and a half. No matter whether those two people die or not, there will not be an hour in the closet without being discovered. Even if
If they find out, they will report it to Dongchang and respond, and it will take less than half an hour. By that time, we will be far away from Nanjing! Hahaha..."
