The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 497: the blood
Chapter 497 Bloodline
When the drum sounded, Gao Demao’s heart skipped a beat, not knowing what big thing was going to happen. When he heard the emperor calling him, he hurried in with his whisk in his arms: “I’m here! Your Majesty, please give me your orders!”
“What’s going on?! The hearing drum sounded again?!”
You can tell how angry the emperor is from his raised voice.
“Your Majesty, please calm down! I have already sent someone to ask, and there should be a reply soon! Your Majesty, please don’t worry. I will wait outside and come in to report to Your Majesty as soon as I have any news!” Gao Demao knelt down and repeatedly comforted the emperor.
Watching Gao Demao jogging out, the emperor clenched his teeth, his face turned pale, and he couldn’t help but secretly hate Bai Qingyan in his heart. If Bai Qingyan hadn’t started it, how could the drum of reporting be sounded again and again!
Many people from the capital city had already gathered outside the Wude Gate.
The woman and the man came crying all the way from the long street and beat the drum to report the incident, saying that they would sue the Wang family of Jiuqu Lane and Prince Liang for taking human lives lightly and calling them beasts worse than beasts for using children to make elixirs. They begged the emperor to save their children who were captured in Prince Liang’s mansion!
There have been more and more rumors about lost children recently. First, little beggars were lost. Later, people saw the bodies of those lost little beggars in a mass grave. Then, children were lost outside the capital city. It seems that after the government tightened its control near the capital city, such incidents have not happened again. Instead, there have been incidents of bandits robbing children near Shuoyang.
The couple in front of them are the farmers who lost their two sons outside the capital city. They brought a trapped man and beat the drum to appeal loudly, saying that the witnesses are here and the physical evidence is in the Prince of Liang’s mansion, and asked Your Majesty to send someone to investigate as soon as possible.
The two men were illiterate and had no petition… They kept crying and begging the emperor to save their two children, fearing it was too late… Their own children had been turned into elixirs.
Old Fang had already made arrangements, and King Liang thought the fact that a child was making elixirs was too shocking. When the farmers sued the Wang family of Jiuqu Lane and King Liang in front of the Wude Gate, the matter spread throughout the capital at the speed of thunder and lightning.
When the people below reported the matter, the emperor was stunned and looked very unhappy, but his anger subsided a lot because of his guilty conscience.
Then he heard that the man who was beating the drum outside had hit the drum for reporting. He was hit more than a hundred feet and his flesh and blood were already a mess. The emperor gritted his teeth and said, “Go and tell them to stop fighting!”
There is no need to investigate this matter, the emperor knows it clearly.
Prince Liang made the elixir for the emperor, but… the emperor certainly didn’t know that he was using children to make the elixir.
“Call King Liang!” The emperor pursed his lips.
“Yes!” Gao Demao quickly sent someone to call King Liang.
As a result, before Prince Liang arrived, the censor and the Supreme Court Minister Lu Jin entered the palace first.
Lu Jinyan said that the matter had become known to everyone. If it was not dealt with quickly, the people would doubt the royal family and the imperial power, and the consequences would be disastrous.
The censor also knelt down and kowtowed, begging the emperor to thoroughly investigate the matter. If it was true, King Liang must be severely punished and must not be let off lightly.
The emperor tightened his hand at his side and said, “I have sent someone to call Prince Liang! My two beloved ministers, don’t worry!”
“Your Majesty!” The Imperial Censor stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty should send General Xie Yuchang to lead troops to surround the Prince of Liang’s Mansion immediately to prevent the Prince of Liang’s Mansion from moving and destroying the evidence!”
The emperor gritted his teeth. If the news that Prince Liang was refining elixirs for him got out, the people and officials would not only criticize him for violating ancestral teachings, but they would also think that he, the emperor, had instructed children to refine elixirs to prolong his life. He would then be guilty and unable to explain himself.
“You just randomly arrested someone and said he was a witness. Where is the royal dignity when they rashly sent troops to surround the Prince of Liang’s mansion?” The emperor acted extremely angry and said, “First, jail the person who sued the Prince of Liang and the so-called witness. I will discuss everything after I meet the Prince of Liang!”
After the emperor finished speaking, he turned away.
Only Dali Temple Minister Lu Jin and the Censor were left in the hall, looking at the prince with sighs on their faces. However, the prince had always been afraid of the emperor, and the emperor was angry at the moment, so how could the prince dare to bring bad luck upon himself?
Bai Jinxiu, who was sitting in Qin’s mansion, naturally also heard the news. Bai Jinxiu thought for a moment, put down the small silver cup containing cheese in her hand, put the small silver spoon aside, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and turned sideways to instruct Cuibi to send reliable people with extraordinary skills to keep an eye on the Liang Palace and the Wang family in Jiuqu Lane. If the Liang Palace and the Wang family intended to transfer evidence or kill people to silence them, those children must be saved no matter what method is used, and try to let the people in the capital city know.
After giving the order, Bai Jinxiu sat under the window frame, stroking her belly gently. Although her elder sister did not allow her to interfere in this matter, she could still do her part to add fuel to the fire.
Seeing Bitui taking the task and leaving, Yin Shuang took two steps towards Bai Jinxiu, looking at Bai Jinxiu with sparkling eyes, waiting for Bai Jinxiu to assign her a task.
Bai Jinxiu looked at Yin Shuang and smiled, “Yin Shuang, thank you for going to the Princess Zhenguo’s residence and asking my mother for some pickles. It’s not convenient for me to go back home every time, but I really miss the taste.”
Yin Shuang nodded solemnly: “Yes!”
·
Prince Liang was invited into the palace, and the Wang family in Jiuqu Lane fell into chaos.
The Wang family in Jiuqu Lane only knew that King Liang wanted these children, but they didn’t know that King Liang was using these children to make elixirs!
Moreover, Wang Kun, the only son of the Wang family, is really good-for-nothing. Not only does he like young prostitutes, but he also likes young prostitutes who are missing limbs.
Wang Kun selected the children who were sent to the capital without telling his elders at home, and kept some good-looking boys that he liked, and the rest were sent to the Prince of Liang’s Mansion.
If this matter were to be exposed, regardless of the fact that Prince Liang is a prince… their Wang family would definitely be the first to suffer!
Those boys were not sold into slavery, they were all good citizens!
Mr. Wang was extremely panicked and immediately ordered people to deal with the prostitutes that Wang Kun had hidden in his house. Wang Kun was not happy about it, but when he heard his father say that the matter had become a big deal, he dared not argue anymore and let his father deal with it.
Mr. Wang decided to go all the way and ordered that all the young prostitutes that Wang Kun had taken in before and the new children that had moved into the mansion… be suffocated to death and thrown into the dry well in the backyard, which was then filled up.
Bai Qingxuan is Wang Kun’s favorite ornament now. Not only is his little face pretty, but he also always has a frightened expression. Wang Kun likes him very much.
Although Bai Qingxuan was mute, he was not deaf. Wang Kun placed him in a white porcelain vase. When he heard what Mr. Wang said, he opened his eyes wide and begged.
Wang Kun looked back at Bai Qingxuan, whose face was pale and terrified, and kept begging Mr. Wang to leave one for him. However, Mr. Wang said that as long as they survived this disaster, Wang Kun could have as many as he wanted. Only then did Wang Kun reluctantly nod and refused to look at Bai Qingxuan.
Bai Qingxuan’s eyes were red with anger. He was the grandson of King Zheng! The only grandson of King Zheng! The only blood of King Zheng! How dare they? ! How dare they!
