The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 41 Anger

(Everyone, ask for votes, ask for votes, ask for votes! Ask for anything!!)

In the Guanyin courtyard, Zhao Yanxun stood at the door, looking at Xue Baojun kneeling three times and nine times facing the golden body of Guanyin on the futon in the hall.

On both sides of the futon, there are five monks ringing the bell and chanting scriptures, which shows that Wolong Temple attaches great importance to this matter.

On the futon, Xue Baoyun silently finished his wishes before getting up from the futon with the help of the maid.

Leaving aside the maid after getting up, Xue Baoyun stepped out of the gate and came to Zhao Yanxun, and said, "My lord, I don't know if the gift of Guanyin is effective or not!"

"Avalokitesvara doesn't count on what he said, but I do...haha!"

Xue Baoyun reacted for a while before trying to understand what he meant, and his face flushed immediately.

In this Guanyin Temple, so many monks and maids were watching, Zhao Yanxun actually started talking dirty.

Just when Xue Baoyun was about to get angry, a guard came to the gate of Guanyin Courtyard, and he was put into the courtyard after asking the guards on duty at the gate to see what was going on.

"Your Highness, a guard died in Empress Rong's yard!"

Zhao Yanxun was talking to Xue Baojun, when he heard the report, his expression darkened, and he immediately asked, "What's going on?"

So the guard told what he knew, Zhao Yanxun didn't gain anything after listening.

"Your Highness, let's go to Concubine Rong to have a look!" Xue Baoyun said with a serious expression.

The death of a guard in the palace is a very serious matter no matter how you look at it, and it must be investigated clearly.

Zhao Yanxun nodded, and led Xue Baoyun to rush to the layman's courtyard under the protection of the guards.

…………

In the courtyard where Huang Rongrong lived, there were more than a dozen guards inside, all surrounded by the corpse in the center of the courtyard.

On the other side, Xu Hong from Baihu had an extremely ugly expression, which would be his major dereliction of duty.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the yard, and Zhao Yanxun walked in with Xue Baoyun.

"Meet the prince, princess!"

Zhao Yanxun stopped next to the corpse, while Xue Baoyun, surrounded by maids and eunuchs, watched from a distance of two or three zhang.

"Has the head been chopped off?" Zhao Yanxun's tone was full of anger.

This kind of bad behavior is slapping the prince's face, and it is even slapping his face.

Only Xu Hong is qualified to answer at this moment, and he bowed and replied: "Yes..."

"How long have you been dead?" Zhao Yanxun asked in a deep voice.

"About three to five hours!" As a person who came down from the battlefield, Xu Hong's judgment on the time of death was roughly measured.

"Three or five hours, a guard on duty has been dead for so long, don't you all find out?"

"My lord, I have kept a secret from my ministers, please punish me!"

Zhao Yanxun sneered, and then said in an emphatic tone: "One hundred secrets and one sparse, I think you are one hundred secrets and one secret!"

Hearing such severe reprimand, Xu Hong knelt on the ground with a plop. He was indeed responsible for this matter.

When the shift was changed at three o'clock, the people below discovered that a guard was missing. Xu Hong only thought that this person was lazy, and planned to find time to settle the matter later, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But who would have thought that this disappeared guard was actually killed, and died in Concubine Rong's yard.

"Guhe Wangfei, I entrust my wealth and life to you. Is this how you dedicate yourself to your duty?"

The guards, including Xu Hong, were still too slack in spirit for what happened today.

If the problem is found and the source is strictly traced, it will cause the body to be discovered at this moment, and the murderer has long since disappeared.

Faced with Zhao Yanxun's questioning, Xu Hong was so ashamed that he could only kowtow and confess his guilt.

"My lord, I'm going to die!"

Seeing that Xu Hong's forehead was bleeding from the beating, Zhao Yanxun said coldly: "Okay, it's useless to break the head, everyone is already dead!"

"The murder of a guard is a major case. You should investigate this case yourself, and you will pay for it!"

Only then did Xu Hong heave a sigh of relief. The killing of the bodyguard was indeed a major accident, not to mention his mismanagement. Zhao Yanxun could dismiss him and bring him to justice.

It is already a great courtesy for Xu Hong to let him pay for his meritorious deeds.

"Thank you Your Highness!" Xu Hong kowtowed again.

Turning around, Zhao Yanxun said coldly: "Get out!"

Xu Hong didn't dare to be negligent, and gestured to the surrounding subordinates, and they carried the corpse on the ground and carefully exited the courtyard.

After leaving the gate of the courtyard, Xu Hong walked ahead with a dark face, followed closely by the general flags and small flags under his command.

At this time, one of the chief bannermen said in fear: "My lord, I have finally passed the first level!"

Xu Hong stopped in his tracks, turned around and was slapped directly across the face, so that the general who had just spoken had stars in his eyes.

"You bastard, there was someone missing last night, why didn't you investigate strictly?"

"I didn't know until several hours after my death, and she died in the courtyard of Empress Rong. Are you trying to kill me?" Xu Hong angrily scolded.

King Yong dotes on Concubine Rong, which is a secret known by everyone in the palace.

If Concubine Rong had something good or bad, Xu Hong could hardly doubt that Zhao Yanxun would hack himself to death.

Thinking of Zhao Yanxun cutting the monster with a knife many days ago, Xu Hong felt a chill down his back.

The beaten General Banner knelt on the ground directly. He was the most responsible for this matter, but just now Xu Hong alone bore Zhao Yanxun's anger, so he could understand the anger of his boss.

"My lord, a death penalty for a humble job, a death penalty for a humble job!"

Xu Hong snorted coldly, then turned around and walked forward, and other subordinates quickly followed.

The most important thing is to investigate the case at the moment, and it will be time to settle accounts after the fall after passing the current hurdle first.

"Call all your subordinates who can be called, seal the road leading to the bottom of the mountain, and block all the gates of the temple, and then screen the officials from the inside to the outside!" Xu Hong said seriously.

At this time, a banner official asked: "Master Baihu, seal up the monastery, if the monks make trouble with the prince..."

Xu Hong said angrily: "Did the prince say that the temple cannot be closed? If the monks want to make trouble, let's wait until they make trouble!"

"Yes!"

…………

In the courtyard on the other side, Huang Rongrong, who was hiding in the room, trembled a little because she was frightened by the corpse.

She shuddered at the thought of the body spending the night in the yard.

In the courtyard, the maids and eunuchs were all terrified, all of them lowered their heads, for fear of being angered by Zhao Yanxun.

Xue Baojun, who was standing by the side, saw that her husband was still sulking, so he stepped forward and said, "My lord... don't get angry, just let the people below check it out!"

But in fact, Zhao Yanxun was very angry. The purpose of the murderer was definitely not to kill the guards, so it meant that he was coming for him.

So the question is, who wants to attack him?

There are many people in this world who hate him, and there are also many people who want to put him to death, Zhao Yanxun has no clue at this moment.

On the eve of arriving at Yuanyang Mansion, a guard was killed, which cast a shadow over his heart.

Just as Zhao Yanxun was thinking, he heard a mournful voice: "My lord... all my concubines... are going to be frightened to death!"

Then, seeing Huang Rongrong pear blossoms with rain, she threw herself into Zhao Yanxun's arms.

Xue Baoyun showed displeasure, while Lin Jingyu, who came out from behind, had a helpless expression.

Looking at Huang Rongrong who threw herself into his arms, even though Zhao Yanxun was still angry at the moment, he could only comfort the little beauty.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
