Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 479
"Come on, I can't wait."

"It's okay to say it, but you must not spread it to the outside world. If the sixteenth steward finds out, you and I will be expelled from the palace."

"Don't worry, you don't know me yet? It goes in from one ear to the other and goes out from the right, and it's absolutely not out!"

The two guards didn't stop, they kept digging the soil, and after a while, a pit was dug out, and the corpse was thrown into the pit.

"This is indeed a prince, what kind of river king does he seem to be called?"

"River King?" Another guard couldn't help laughing and asked, "What is a River King? The prince who manages the river?"

"River King?" Li Chengde's pupils dilated, and cold sweat instantly slipped from his neck.

What river king?I'm afraid it's not the King of Hedong?
Could it be that Cheng De has betrayed himself?
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. Li Chengde suddenly felt a little reckless at this moment.

I thought I designed it myself and no one would see through it, but I didn't know that the frog at the bottom of the well sat down and watched the sky.

The other guard didn't answer immediately, as if he was choking, Li Chengde waited for a long time before he heard him continue speaking.

"You don't care what kind of prince he is, anyway, he is dead."

"That's right, the only one who can be called king in the entire Tang Dynasty is our Royal Highness King Qin!"

Li Chengde anxiously scratched his heart and lungs, wishing to tie the two of them up immediately and interrogate them carefully.

Let's talk about it, don't talk about the main point, isn't this sincere torture?
Fortunately, they didn't wait too long, and after a few more nonsense words, the two guards uttered another sentence that made Li Chengde tremble with fear.

"Before I came out, the sixteenth steward had already given orders. I told you about this, and you just pretended you didn't hear about it. No third party should ever know about it!"

At this point, Li Chengde finally confirmed that Cheng De died, and he died in the palace of Prince Qin.

What secrets were sent into the palace?

Why has he been ordered to be executed secretly in order to avoid political turmoil?

It's all fake!

This Li Fangchen was really ruthless enough to kill him regardless of whether it was true or not?
There are two possibilities in front of Li Chengde, one is that he himself has been exposed, and the other is that Li Fangchen killed the prince in order to avoid the news of the hidden prince Yugu.

These two speculations are not good news for Li Chengde.

The first is that I am afraid that I have fallen into Li Fangchen's scheme.

The second type, if Li Fangchen kills people to silence him, the King of Hedong can die, let alone him, a "servant" in Li Anyan's mansion who knows the inside story well?

After a moment of daze, when he looked outside the house again, the two guards had already filled the pit and left the small courtyard.

"No! Don't be reckless, no matter what, I have to be careful!"

Li Chengde forced himself to pretend he didn't know anything, and waited in the room for another half an hour before he walked out of the room and wanted to go outside the courtyard.

He is now a servant of Prince Qin's mansion, so he naturally has to do what a servant should do.

Even though Prince Qin's mansion is not big and there are not many servants, the treatment of servants in this mansion is really amazing.

There are three people in one room, a single house, and a monthly salary of five guan.

Because he just became a servant of Prince Qin's Mansion, he was not assigned any work, and the steward just told him.

Do not enter the inner mansion and leave the outer mansion, just clean the fallen leaves in the mansion from time to time.

He stayed up late at night and ran out of the room with the excuse of going to the toilet.

In the dead of night, in the middle of the night, Li Chengde dug the earth with his hands, dug up the pit, and examined the dead body.

"Cheng De! It's really Cheng De!"

Fortunately, the pit was not deep, and he dug out the body in more than an hour.

After confirming that this was Cheng De's body, Li Chengde took pains to re-bury the body, and ran back to his room pretending to be asleep regardless of the growing light.

But he didn't know that after he returned to the house, a human face appeared outside the courtyard.

"Big fish, take the bait!"

On the second day, Li Chengde and Liu Guanshi took two days off, saying they were going back to their hometown to visit relatives.

Liu Guanshi also specially gave him ten pennies to buy himself a better outfit, so as not to embarrass the Qin Palace.

Li Chengde pretended to thank Guanshi Liu, then turned and left the house.As soon as he got out of the gate, his face turned from sunny to cloudy, and he walked around the city of Chang'an.

Go around Sifang and Sixth Street, leave from the east gate, open the package after leaving the city, change your clothes, and enter Chang'an through the west gate.

Tired to the sixteenth and other people who have been following him behind him, calling and scolding this guy for his cowardly appearance, there are really many tricks.

Li Fangchen seemed to be planning to lure the fish into the bait.

First, he used one step to startle the enemy, causing Li Chengde to confuse himself, and then sent people to follow him to see if there was any mastermind behind Li Chengde.

Although he already knew Li Chengde's real identity, he still wanted to find out who else this Li Chengde had contact with besides Li Anyan.

Colluding with the remnants of the crown prince's crimes is a heinous crime!

If there are forces behind Li Chengde, Li Fangchen wants to wipe them all out to avoid further troubles.

"Where is he going?"

"Isn't this the captain-in-law, the Great General of Youwuwei, the residence of Lu Guogong Xue Wanche?"

After Li Chengde came outside Duke Lu's mansion, Shiliu's face was extremely ugly. Could it be that this "little prince" is also related to Xue Wanche?

At the beginning, he had also met Xue Wanche face to face. This Duke of the State is really a strong general. Thousands of soldiers are easy to find, but strong generals are hard to find.

Killing the enemy on the battlefield is really like a madman. Within three meters, there are all the heads of the enemy.

"Quick, go back and report to Your Highness!"

Seeing that Li Chengde walked into Xue Wanche's mansion unhindered, Shiliu secretly thought of trouble.

Now that Li Chengde knows that he has been exposed, he will definitely not return to Prince Qin's mansion again. If Xue Wanche conspires with the other party, then His Highness's plan to scare the snake will really attract a big snake!
It should be known that Youwuwei is now in the hands of Xue Wanche, and there are only three guards stationed in Chang'an City.

Right Wuwei, Right Weiwei, and Zuo Qianniuwei.

Among them, there are 5 Youwuwei, 3 Youweiwei, and 3 Zuoqianniuwei.

As Li Shimin's most valued confidant and loyal minister, Xue Wanche is more favored than Cheng Zhijie.

Who makes Cheng Zhijie this "reckless man" sometimes unpredictable, coupled with the pressure brought by the faction of the King of Qin to the army, the courtiers related to the King of Qin accounted for half of the "country" of the generals faction.

Li Shimin didn't want Li Fangchen to easily snatch away the country he had just established for more than ten years.

The ministers came forward to remonstrate and force King Qin to ascend the throne. Does Li Shimin still have a choice?

Even the crown prince Li Chengqian, isn't he in his hands, he can use power, but he can't hold power?

Li Shimin doesn't want to become the second Li Yuan and die of old age in the deep palace. His grand ambition has only just begun!
The guard went back to the mansion to report, and Li Fangchen was surprised when he heard it, "Xue Wanche? How did this old guy get involved?"

The guard said nervously: "Your Highness, the sixteenth steward is currently guarding outside Duke Lu's mansion, and I don't know you."

"There is no arrangement, let Shiliu decide on his own, this king wants to enter the palace."

"Yes!"
