fake prince

"You're right, this king can't mess with his own hands!" King Shu calmed down, took a deep breath, and ordered: "Follow this king to go out and have a look!"

He would like to see what Ma Shunde's servant can find out!
Although the king of Shu dared not say that he would definitely have no reason to stay, but he has always been very clean, and he is more cautious than the king of Qi!
He used to think that he might be a little too timid, if he had concentrated his strength to deal with Taisun before he arrived in the capital, there would be no such things behind.

Now he felt, how could he be timid?

Clearly, it is prudent!

What's wrong with being cautious?
Ma Shunde led the people directly to the gate of the palace. The little eunuch straightened his clothes for him, then bowed and took two steps back without speaking. The scene was so silent that a needle could be heard falling.

Because the King of Shu was the emperor's own son and was also favored before, Ma Shunde didn't want to offend the King of Shu any more, so he ordered people to surround the palace to make sure no one would escape, so he stood at the door and waited.

Menzi had already gone in to report, and after a while, Ma Shunde heard footsteps, and a group of people came out, surrounded by the King of Shu.

The King of Shu wore a crown-style gauze robe, and the silver crown inlaid with pearls showed a calm expression. When the two looked at each other, Ma Shunde first put on a three-pointed smile: "Your Majesty, I have offended you. This slave is following His Majesty's order, come here For the investigation, please cooperate with the king, call everyone to the main courtyard, and allow the people brought by the servants to search the palace."

"Oh? You said that the emperor asked you to search, what about the imperial decree?" King Shu asked with a smile after hearing this.

Holy decree?

Of course there is no decree.

Ma Shunde said with a smile: "The servants are acting according to oral instructions, there is no imperial edict."

"However, if it wasn't for His Majesty's oral order, how would the servants dare to come to the Shu Palace?"

"Therefore, there is no need for the king to doubt, and the servants are only ordered to investigate. If the king is indeed innocent, the servants will go back and report to His Majesty."

"Father's oral order?" King Shu's eyes jumped: "Then tell me, what oral order did Father give you? What did you ask you to investigate? What is innocence? This king is innocent, why should you replace this king?" Restore your innocence!"

Of course the King of Shu also knew that Ma Shunde would not dare to investigate the Prince's Mansion in private, and if he dared to bring the people from the Imperial City Division, he would have to obey his father's order.

It is impossible for the king of Shu to stop him, but it is the purpose of the king of Shu to show an attitude and let this person know that he is not guilty.

Moreover, if he was manipulated by an eunuch from the very beginning, what face would he have?

This question must be asked.

Ma Shunde was already upset and worried, but the King of Shu's attitude made him even more upset.

Originally worried, the emperor only had two adult sons, if he offended the king of Qi and then the king of Shu, would he wait to die in the future?
That's why he didn't lead anyone directly in. Why is the King of Shu so fussy?
If you delay some more time and return to the palace late, and keep His Majesty waiting for a long time, who knows if you will directly convict yourself?
Ma Shunde immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, we don't have time to argue with you. Your Majesty is still waiting for news. Please cooperate, Your Majesty!"

When the king of Shu heard this, his face changed slightly.

His gesture just now was actually meant to be tentative.

It's not an imperial decree, it's just a verbal decree, but if it's not a very troublesome matter, Ma Shunde will come and talk to you if you express your opinion like this.

In the end, this eunuch couldn't even wait for this little time?

What is this eunuch here to investigate?

The king of Shu gritted his teeth: "If you don't make it clear, there is no way this king will let you wait here to make a mistake!"

Ma Shunde was furious in his heart, and he said that if you want to resist the decree, it turned into a laugh, but the laughter was a bit harsh, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, do you have to say it here?"

He glanced around, and although he surrounded the place with the people of the Imperial City Secretary, no one around the palace dared to watch, but the people living here are not one or two households, if you tell him clearly at the gate The reason for this is that if the matter caused by the King of Shu is taken into account, it is because His Majesty wants to let the King of Shu go, and it is very troublesome for the government and the public to discuss it.

Seeing his expression, the king of Shu felt even more heartbroken, then turned around, waved his hand, and walked in.

Ma Shunde's expression became slightly relaxed, and he followed in directly with two guards and four eunuchs.

Arriving at the main courtyard, Ma Shunde waved his hand, and saw the guards and eunuchs retreat ten steps, and said: "Someone reported that the king colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty, and Ying Guoda is suspected of being controlled by the remnants..."

"Your Majesty, you should understand what this report is all about."

"This is not a trivial matter. After hearing this, His Majesty was furious. Then he ordered the slaves to lead people to investigate the Shu Palace. Check to see if you really colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty..."

"Is there any collusion with Ying Guo..."

After hearing the other party's intention, the king of Shu turned pale, his eyes were burning, and he said angrily: "Nonsense! This is slander! This king is a prince, a prince, and colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty, what benefits does this king have? Is it impossible to create the rebellion of one's own ancestors? It's ridiculous! Absurd!"

Seeing that Ma Shunde only looked at him with a sneer, he felt even colder in his heart, and hurriedly said: "How could the father listen to such slander? This king will go into the palace and explain to the father!"

The people around Ma Shunde, under the signal of Ma Shunde, stopped the king of Shu who was about to go out.

"How dare you stop me?!" The King of Shu was furious.

Ma Shunde didn't want to entangle with the King of Shu anymore, he said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, don't embarrass our family, are you innocent, after the investigation by the Imperial City Commissioner, it will be clear? Why does it have to be like this?"

"Until the Imperial City Secretary completes his errands, everyone in this mansion counts as one, and no one can go out! Let alone you, even the birds in this mansion will not be able to!"

"Your Majesty, this servant has tried to show you dignity, please forgive me, my servant!"

It's right for me to have some leeway in my heart, but I can't discount the emperor's will.

Otherwise, Si Tiqi, the imperial city behind him, can besiege the Shu Palace today, but can't he behead himself tomorrow?
Ma Shunde knew in his heart that what the emperor hated most was infidelity, even if the loyalty was transferred to the prince, it would never be tolerated.

After saying this, the King of Shu was furious, he was silent for a moment, and sneered: "Okay, okay! If that's the case, please ask Mr. Ma's people to check it out!

"This king has a clear conscience. If anything is found out, this king will immediately follow you into the palace and let the emperor punish you!"

As he said that, he made way for Ma Shunde to lead people to search inside, and at the same time told the housekeeper: "Let all the people in the mansion come to the main courtyard! Remember, no one is bad, especially the female family members. People are disturbing. If anyone dares to disrespect the female relatives, kill them directly!"

"...Yes." Hearing this, the butler immediately led people to take the initiative to gather all the people in the mansion to the main courtyard.

As for that sentence, some people dare to disrespect the female relatives and directly kill them...

How many would be disrespectful to female relatives at this time?

Unless the people in the Imperial City Department are crazy, they will do something to the female family members of the Shu Palace when the Shu King has not yet fallen.

Therefore, this sentence is an empty talk that will never be realized.

"Hateful!" Ma Shunde clearly felt the attitude of King Shu, his eyes flashed, and his heart became colder.

It seems that the king of Shu didn't feel his kindness!

Then don't blame me for doing business!
