Chapter 726 Before the Incense Burning
Bai Chen ate too fast and bit his tongue with his teeth, causing him to grit his teeth in pain.
After a long while, he opened his mouth and exhaled twice.
"It's not the time yet. Let's wait until the emperor finishes his incense offering at Hanguang Temple."
"Also, don't let Huaiyi get too comfortable. Have you ever seen a donkey being castrated back home?"
The drunk glared at him and said, "What do you mean? I come from a legitimate family. Do you know who I am? I want to castrate a donkey?"
"Okay, have you guys seen it?"
Bai Chen's gaze turned and fell on the other people.
Those gangsters shook their heads again and again.
"Brother, who among us has nothing better to do than learn that?"
"If it really doesn't work, just cut it off for him, so that he won't use it to mess with the emperor again."
"That's right. Why would he want to mess with the emperor? Just because our emperor is promiscuous?"
Bai Chen touched his chin and nodded.
"It seems there's no other way. Then drag him to Crouching Tiger Rock and cut him open."
"If he dies, just throw his body into the mountains. Even if it's freezing in this weather, he'll freeze to death."
Huaiyi wanted to resist, but his hands were tied with hemp ropes and he couldn't break free.
His mouth was blocked by a piece of very smelly cloth, preventing him from speaking.
Huaiyi only felt someone lifting him up, carrying him onto a big rock, and then putting him down again.
"Guys, shall we begin?"
"Then let's get started."
"Okay, you guys hold him down. I'll go get some pot ash and stop the bleeding."
"Okay, brother, go ahead."
Huaiyi: "Wuwuwuwuwuwu, ahhhhhh, wuwuwuwuwuwuwu..."
……
Li Cunxi never found the whereabouts of the lewd monk Huaiyi.
According to the information reported by the subordinates, there were indeed several rows of footprints behind the low wall, but the footprints disappeared as they got farther away.
"It seems like this is an unsolved case. Let's have someone start the investigation from where the footprints disappeared and search in all directions."
"Behind this Hanguang Temple are endless mountains. If the thieves want to escape, they will definitely escape through the mountains."
"General Lu, please take 500 men into the mountains to search."
Lu Tong did not dare to disobey the order, knowing that searching the mountains was just a formality. He bowed to Li Cunxi and turned to leave.
At this point, the matter of Huaiyi’s disappearance has come to an end.
"It's going to be daybreak."
Wu Yanhao stretched and looked at the sky outside through the gap in the window.
At this moment, a ray of light gradually appeared in the east.
Not only did the people who hadn't slept all night not look tired, but they were full of energy because of the events of the previous night.
Especially Zhou Xing, the Minister of Punishment and the most cruel official in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, his eyes were filled with a sinister green light.
He was eager to see the emperor and secretly report these people.
Especially Qin Wang Li Cunxi, he would never let the other party's life go no matter what!
Just when Zhou Xing was thinking about how to slander and kill Li Cunxi, Wu Yanhao and his group, the sharp-eyed Wu Yanhao had already noticed the cold light in Zhou Xing's eyes and immediately laughed ironically.
"hehe."
Zhou Xing was startled and quickly looked towards the source of the sound, but saw Wu Yanhao still sneering, and suddenly felt a chill on his back.
"Your Highness the Prince of Qin, Your Highness the Duke of Liang, I am in a hurry to go to bed. I hope your Highnesses will forgive me."
"Go, go, just don't drown in the toilet."
Wu Yanhao waved his hand generously, signaling Zhou Xing to leave quickly.
Zhou Xing bowed again and then left in a hurry.
When he left, Lai Junchen, who was sitting quietly beside him, could no longer sit still. He secretly glanced at Li Cunxi who was resting with his eyes closed, and then stood up.
"Your Highness, I have unbearable abdominal pain. I cannot bear it any longer and must leave..."
"The lazy donkey is a glutton for shits and piss. Hurry up and go before you clog the toilet."
Wu Yanhao just lay down and spoke without any politeness.
Lai Junchen hurried out and chased after Zhou Xing.
Lu Dayou watched Lai Junchen leave and asked with his head tilted:
"Yanhao, what's wrong with you today? Your temper is a little different from before."
Wu Yanhao curled his lips and said, "During the years before Cunxi returned to the court, these two bastards framed my father in front of His Majesty."
Inside the house, everyone watching the show understood what was going on.
It turns out that Wu Chengsi, an important official of the country, had also been framed by Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen.
But it makes sense when you think about it. Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen relied on framing court ministers and setting up unjust cases to please the emperor.
Even Di Renjie was framed by them and thrown into the Imperial Guard Prison. It is certainly reasonable that they framed Wu Chengsi several times.
It is only natural for Wu Yanhao, as a son, to scold these people on behalf of his father.
"Master, you haven't left the Prince of Wei's residence for a long time since Xu Jingye started his rebellion. Why are these people framing you?"
Li Cunxi opened his eyes, showing a strong curiosity.
Wu Yanhao spread his hands and said, "How would I know? You can't possibly want my father's position as the Left Prime Minister of Wenchang, right?"
Qiu Shenji smacked his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back into his stomach.
Wenchang Zuo Xiang, this is the highest official position in this dynasty, ranking first among all officials.
If Li Cunxi did not have the title of Governor of Henan Prefecture and the title of King of Qin, which suppressed Wu Chengsi with another meaning, Wu Chengsi would have been the head of all officials at this moment.
Others don’t dare to dream of the position of Governor of Henan Prefecture, but who doesn’t want to be the Left Prime Minister of Wenchang?
"Who wouldn't want to be the Left Prime Minister of Wenchang?"
Lu Dayou closed the book, a hint of longing appearing in his eyes.
Of course, only a little bit.
His current position is not low. Unless Li Cunxi changes the dynasty, the highest position he can achieve in his life is Shangshu Zuocheng.
Outside the door, George Han, the General of the Qianniu Guard, pushed open the door of the house and bowed to the inside.
"Your Highnesses, my Lords, it is the first quarter of the morning hour."
Li Cunxi looked up and saw that the sky outside, which was not bright to begin with, suddenly became bright.
"It's daybreak, so let's start setting up outside."
"Roll out the red carpet and everything, and get the soldiers back to their positions."
"It's time to send out the patrol soldiers. All areas within 200 steps of the main gate of Hanguang Temple must be well defended."
"Have all the monks gather together in one place. Except for the monks who accompany you on your incense burner, no one else is allowed to leave the meditation room."
"Also, please invite the abbot and the monk Jingkong over."
Han Han clasped his fists in response, then stepped back a few steps to the bottom of the stairs before turning and walking away.
"Generals, now is the time to discuss the process of offering incense at Hanguang Temple."
Li Cunxi scratched his head.
"This is my first time here, and I don't know the specific procedures for offering incense at Hanguang Temple. Could anyone give me some information first?"
Qiu Shenji shook his head frantically, "Your Highness, to be honest, this is the first time a young lady has gotten into a bridal sedan. Why not ask General Huan Bin?"
