Chapter 44: Crisis(1/2)
() "I would like to toast the prince first. I wish the prince to improve his cultivation and show his ambition in the northwest!"
Wang Shixun raised his glass and smiled flatteringly.
"Haha, let's take advantage of Uncle Yuan's good advice."
Liu Xia picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
At this moment, the hall was filled with hesitations and the sound of silk and bamboo, making it very lively.
Several beautiful dancers were dancing there.
The search is still going on outside, but the imperial envoy cannot be left waiting.
Therefore, Wang Shixun prepared a banquet, firstly to welcome Liu Xia, and secondly, naturally to find an opportunity to ease the misunderstanding after he had just bumped into Liu Xia.
At this moment, all the descendants of the Wang family with titles are here.
The companions are naturally Wang Zhoushan and Zhang Tianhu.
Fu Jianfei and Zhao Yong have not returned yet, and are still being searched by outsiders.
Wangjiapu is not small even if it is said to be big.
Not to mention the servants and merchants living in the periphery, there are more than 300 houses owned by relatives of the Wang family.
The entire Wangjiapu can definitely compete with a medium-sized county town in Dragon Soul Continent.
Searching is naturally time consuming.
If you don't have a day or two, you can't even hope to complete the search.
Zhao Hu brought only a team of Weiyang City defenders and Weiyang Camp, a total of only 5,000 troops.
The real northwest border garrison troops are still at the border and cannot be easily mobilized.
"Wei Chen heard that the prince has become famous among the northwest sects at a young age. Wei Chen really admires him. At the age of the prince, Wei Chen is still a child who does not understand things. Compared with the prince, Wei Chen is really ashamed.
.”
Wang Shixun smiled sarcastically.
"Uncle Xinyuan was joking. I see that all the descendants of the Wang family are not weak in cultivation. It can be seen that Mr. Wang's family rules are strict. The children in the family are all well-educated and well-educated. As the saying goes, you can see the whole leopard when you look at one spot. The Wang family has
If you are in charge, why worry about not being able to prosper?"
Liu Xia laughed.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary. I am ashamed of myself. I am ashamed of myself."
At this moment, Fu Jianfei hurried in, followed closely by Zhao Hu. Both of them had murderous looks on their faces. When they entered the hall, they knelt on the ground and shouted:
"Your Majesty, we have discovered the traitor to the Hidden Dragon Holy Cult in Wangjiapu. Wang Shitong and others from the Wang family have gathered a crowd to kill our Inspectorate's agents. Please make your decision, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, the Wangjiabao family members gathered together to cause trouble. They injured dozens of our border troops. Please make your decision, Your Majesty!"
In an instant, there was dead silence in the hall.
"Danglang"
Liu Xia threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and it shattered instantly.
"Uncle Xin Yuan, what's going on?"
Liu Xia suppressed her anger and asked calmly.
"Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding about this matter. Please, Your Majesty, please don't listen to their side of the story."
Wang Shixun immediately stepped out of the queue, knelt on the ground and shouted.
"Okay, I will give you a chance. You can take me to see it!"
Liu Xia put his hands behind his back and walked outside.
Wang Shixun and other clan members hurriedly followed Liu Xia towards the outside of the Earl's Mansion.
As soon as they left the gate, they saw more than 300 guards from Wangjiabao confronting Zhao Yong's soldiers outside the gate.
The two sides are at war with each other and are eyeing each other. It is obvious that a war is about to break out.
"You bastards, are you planning to rebel?"
When Wang Shixun saw this scene, he couldn't help but gasped.
"Master, please make the decision for my father. Their people will kill my father!!"
Standing in front of the Wang family guards was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a white gauze on his sleeves, shouting with tears streaming down his face.
"What's going on?"
"This afternoon, spies from the Inspectorate entered my residence and insisted that my son be a member of the Hidden Dragon Holy Cult and take him away by force. My father refused, so they took action. My father died so unjustly!
"
Immediately, the man fell to his knees on the ground and burst into tears.
"Fu Jianfei, what's going on?"
At this moment, Wang Shixun was filled with anger.
After all, it was his biological brother who died.
"What's going on? You know better than me! My people are following the prince's instructions to arrest people. Why should Wang Shitong stop him?"
Fu Jianfei was furious at that moment.
After all, more than twenty of his men died. As the commander of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, how could he not be angry?
Wang Shixun was stunned. Liu Xia's instructions were that if there was any obstruction, he would be killed without mercy, and he would be sentenced for treason.
"Uncle Xin Yuan, do you, Wangjiabao, still take my words seriously?"
Liu Xia said calmly.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Wang Shixun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, then walked up to the man, put his foot on his body and said angrily: "Beast! You brought so many people here to make trouble, do you want to rebel?"
"Uncle! They killed our people!"
The man shouted angrily.
"Come here, take me down first!"
Wang Shixun said angrily.
"Wait a minute! Zhao Hu!"
Liu Xia said angrily.
"The end is here!"
"Behead all these people, leaving no one alive!"
Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment, then he clasped his fists and said, "Yes! Anyone who comes, please take them all down with me!"
At that moment, the guards rushed forward.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I think there must be a misunderstanding here. Please spare their lives, Your Majesty."
Wang Shixun hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Misunderstanding? Why did your nephew bring people here? He wants to kill me and avenge his father! If I let them go, where will the court's face be? Take them away!"
"Master, spare your life!"
"Master, the younger one is wronged!"
For a while, screams and begging for mercy could be heard one after another.
"Take me to Wang Shitong's house!"
Liu Xia flicked his sleeves and walked towards Wang Shitong's house.
Wang Shixun hurriedly led the way, and the cold sweat on his body soaked his clothes.
When they entered Wang Shitong's house, they saw Dabao sitting cross-legged on the ground, praying for the deceased Metropolitan Procuratorate agent.
A group of dark policemen from the Metropolitan Procuratorate have already put the place under martial law.
On the ground, Wang Shuyuan knelt there dejectedly, silent.
When Wang Shuyuan saw Liu Xia and others coming in, he saw Wang Shixun as if he saw a life-saving straw.
"Grandpa, help me!!"
He immediately crawled there and started crying.
"What's going on?"
Wang Shixun asked hurriedly.
"These spies insisted on arresting me by claiming that I was from the Hidden Dragon Holy Cult. If I resisted, they would arrest me. My grandfather came out to stop me, but he was killed by a monster monk!"
Wang Shuyuan cried immediately.
To be continued...
