The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 203
"Empress Empress, you can't blame your subordinates for this, that... that fish that slipped through the net seems to be...?" The spy seemed to want to say something but dared not say it.

"Why are you hesitating, tell me quickly." Empress Jiang was a little impatient.

"The fish that slipped through the net seems to belong to the second prince." The secret agent finally told the truth.

"What? Someone from Dugu Jiaming?" Queen Jiang was obviously a little surprised.

"Well, someone saw it before and said that that person was from the second prince's residence. That's why everyone was not vigilant, but they didn't expect him to escape." The spy reported.

"Is there any reason for this? This Dugu Jiaming also wants to take advantage of the opportunity to rebel?" Empress Jiang didn't like Dugu Jiaming very much before. It was too close, but the prince did not listen to the queen mother's advice because the second prince Dugu Jiaming flattered him.

"Empress, what should we do now? Shall we capture the second prince?" the secret agent asked cautiously.

"What? Why are you arresting him? Are you out of your mind? He is a prince. He is known by the emperor and the people of the world?" Queen Jiang scolded.

"Yes, it's a slip of the tongue." The spy didn't dare to speak again, for fear of making a slight mistake.

"In this way, you have been staring at him recently, keep an eye on him, see if he makes any mistakes, and report to Ben Gong immediately, and Ben Gong will grab his braids and deal with him. It's unreasonable to drive out and betray Ben Gong." Empress Jiang never dreamed that the second prince's people, who were usually negligent, would betray her.

She had already made many preparations last night, even Dugu Jialuo's people were stared at by him...

It's a pity that one ran away. This one is not important, but it can kill her. Once Pan Baoping, the Wumeng general at the border, finds out about his cousin and niece, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Yes, that subordinate will leave first." The spy got up and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute." Queen Jiang called the spy again.

"I don't know what orders the empress has?" The spy asked respectfully.

"Recently... what's going on with Dugu Jialuo?" Queen Jiang was still more wary of him.

"Go back to Empress, there is no movement from Prince Chen's side, and he has been busy renovating Prince Chen's mansion recently." The secret agent answered truthfully.

"Hmph, even if you don't dare to do anything about him? Return to King Chen? When my son ascends the throne, he will be the first one to be killed." Queen Jiang said viciously.

Chen Wangfu

Sheng Xian ran in with a face full of excitement: "Master, it's done."

"Well, is there any movement at the border?" Dugu Jialuo asked while watching the servants of the palace renovate.

"Not there yet, but soon, that person has already delivered the letter, and according to your instructions, he deliberately left some clues for Empress Jiang. She probably already knows that it is the second prince who sent the letter. I am afraid that the two parties It's about to pinch." Sheng Sheng said with a smile.

"Well, the snipe and the clam fight and the fisherman wins. This strategy is always very effective." Dugu Jialuo nodded, as if everything was within his expectations.

"Then what about Mr. Pan? Shall we rescue him?" Sheng Sheng asked.

"Of course not. We still have to observe in the dark. That old woman doesn't dare to touch Mr. Pan for the time being. Besides, Mr. Pan has her own cousin, why do you want us to save him? Why are you so confused?" Dugu Jialuo clapped his hands and turned around Walking towards the study, Sheng Sheng also followed to the study.

"That's right, my subordinates were negligent. This time things were done very successfully, but it's a pity...Pan Mengjie, a good girl, was ruined like that by Dugu Jiazheng for nothing." Sheng Sheng always felt that the master was very strategic, but he didn't want to, This incident had to sacrifice the innocence of a girl's family.

Pan Mengjie is also well-known in Liuyun Country, because she was born in a general family, possesses martial arts skills, and is also beautiful. There are countless people who propose marriage, but it is a pity that this girl is arrogant, so she has never made a marriage contract.

Sheng Sheng knew that Pan Mengjie had fought against his master and was defeated by him before, and since then he has admired him very much, but it's a pity that Dugu Jialuo only has the woman surnamed Ye in Tianmu Kingdom in his heart, and he doesn't seem to want to look at other women more.

So this time...

"If you give up, you will get something. There is nothing to regret." Dugu Jialuo said coldly.

"Master, on the day Pan Mengjie's accident happened, who was she waiting for...?" Although Sheng Sheng didn't intervene in this matter, it was secretly planned by Dugu Jialuo all along, but he seemed to be aware of something.

After listening, Dugu Jialuo smiled indifferently, and then said quietly: "That day, the person Pan Mengjie was waiting for...was me."

"Ah?" If the master didn't say it himself, Sheng Sheng wouldn't believe it.

It turns out that from the beginning to the end, the master really came forward in person, because Dugu Jialuo had already figured out the prince's daily habits. He knew that he was going to drink tea on that day, and he also knew that the prince would be happy when he saw the young and beautiful Pan Mengjie. Thinking badly, I realized that Pan Mengjie was aloof and would not be caught without a fight, so I counted all of this happening.

"Master, did you just watch all that happen? Miss Pan has a deep love for you, doesn't she?" Sheng Xuan suddenly felt that the master was a little cruel, even a little cold-blooded.

Unexpectedly, Dugu Jialuo smiled indifferently: "The moment I can leave An Ran, whose life and death are unknown halfway, I won't feel pity for anyone anymore. Pan Mengjie is just a pawn to me."

"Isn't she... your friend?" Sheng Sheng was a little dumbfounded.

"Friends? It's ridiculous. I don't need friends in my life. Those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish. There are only two kinds of people around me. Either submit to me and be my subordinates, or... die." Dugu Jialuo said this When he spoke, the coldness that burst out in his eyes was very frightening, and it was something none of his followers who had followed him for many years had ever seen.

"Master, you have changed, you have really changed." Sheng Sheng muttered to himself.

"Xiansheng, you talk too much." After finishing speaking, Dugu Jialuo walked into the study and closed the door with a bang.

Although at the beginning I didn't like my master's obsession with the woman surnamed Ye from the Tianmu Kingdom, but at least at that time there was still a trace of warmth in my master's eyes. Now my master is completely a murderous devil and a revenge machine.

Sheng Xian didn't know if it was right to persuade the master to leave that woman behind, but he knew that this time, the master would not continue to remain silent.

Liuyun Country Casino

The second prince, Dugu Jiaming, is different from the prince. He is not lustful for women, and occasionally visits brothels, but he is extremely obsessed with gambling.

For gambling, he spent almost all the savings in his family, and even sold off the treasures that the emperor had given him.

This time, he seemed to be unlucky again, losing 1 taels of silver at the opening.

"Your Highness, Second Prince, hehe, you are out of bets." The owner of the casino said politely.

"You don't need to remind me, but my Highness still needs your money. You should pay my Highness first, and then I will send someone to fetch it for you later." Dugu Jiaming said impatiently.

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, it's not that the petty one doesn't give you face, nor does it mean that the petty one doesn't trust you. It's just that you can't afford to pay in advance. You know that we can give guests 5000 taels in advance at most. You lost 1 taels this time. It's beyond our scope." The boss of the casino seemed to be in a dilemma.

"Forget it, forget it, it's okay, my Highness will go back to the mansion to get it, you just wait for me, no one is allowed to leave, come back later and continue gambling." After finishing speaking, the second prince Dugu Jiaming got up and left.

Second Prince's Mansion

"Butler, butler, die quickly." Dugu Jiaming roared angrily.

"What's the matter? Your Highness the Second Prince?" The old housekeeper who was over half a century old rushed over immediately.

"Go, get me some money, hurry up." Dugu Jiaming was used to opening his mouth while stretching out his hand for food.

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, our house... has long since run out of money, and even valuable things have been sold off by you." When the old housekeeper heard that he wanted money, he almost burst into tears on the spot.

These days, Dugu Jiaming gambled so fiercely that he couldn't even pay the monthly salaries of the servants in the mansion, so he had to dismiss many people in the end.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, bring whatever you can mortgage, whether it's bottles, jars, or jade vessels." Dugu Jiaming was obviously jealous of losing, so he didn't care.

"Your Highness the Second Prince, I really don't have any, otherwise...or you can borrow some from His Highness the Crown Prince?" The old housekeeper gave him an idea.

"Do you think I don't know how to borrow it? But is the prince willing to lend it to me? Besides, what happened to him in the past few days, he is in a bad mood. Didn't I ask for it when I went? Don't talk nonsense for me, and think about it quickly." Way." Saying that, Dugu Jiaming kicked the old housekeeper.

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, there is really nothing valuable in the mansion. A few days ago, the envoys of Xuechen Kingdom sent some tributes to the post station. I heard that they were sent to the post station and waited for the emperor's birthday. They should still be at the post station. How about... why don't you go to the station?" With them...?" Before the old housekeeper finished speaking, Dugu Jiaming disappeared like a puff of smoke.

Indeed, the words of the old steward were too tempting, the tribute from Xuechen Kingdom must be a lot of treasures, so Dugu Jiaming took people to the post station immediately, and made up the idea of ​​tribute regardless.

"Stop, who is it?" The guard of Xuechen Kingdom guarding the station stopped immediately.

"Bold, you don't kneel down when you see my highness. My highness is Dugu Jiaming, the second prince of Liuyun Kingdom." In order to intimidate these foreign guards, Dugu Jiaming first embraced his name when he went.

"What? You are His Royal Highness the Second Prince?" Those people seemed a little disbelieving.

"Here, here is the token." Dugu Jiaming proudly handed over the token that symbolized his identity.

Those people immediately knelt down to pay their respects: "See His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

"Get up, I came today to collect the tribute under the order of my father." Dugu Jiaming cut to the chase and immediately mentioned the tribute.

"But...but didn't the emperor say that he was waiting for his old man's birthday to be transported by me?" Those guards didn't seem to be so easy to fool.

"Nonsense, don't you believe me? My father said that on his birthday, he must be very busy and have no time to worry about you, so he moved it ahead of time. Originally, this kind of thing should have come from my eldest brother, but he has been a little bit late recently. It's a little trouble, so I can only entrust it to me, why are you still dawdling, move it out for me?" Dugu Jiaming coaxed and tricked Xuechen Kingdom's tribute out.

Immediately he was in a good mood, turned around and went to the gambling house again, but unexpectedly, he lost consecutively as he was unlucky.

He lost a few tributes as collateral, and just as he was indulging in gambling, a large number of imperial guards arrived.

"Second prince, Your Highness, please come with us, the emperor's invitation." The leader of the Imperial Forest Army said bluntly.

"What? Did you make a mistake? Do you know who you are talking to?" The second prince angrily pointed at the leader of the Imperial Forest Army and cursed.

"Your Highness, Second Prince, please come with us, come and take it." With an order, the imperial army rushed forward, captured Dugu Jiaming and entered the palace.

on the hall

All civil and military officials were present, as if a big case was about to be tried, Empress Jiang sat beside the emperor and watched coldly.

"Father, what's wrong with my son?" The second prince felt a little guilty when he arrived at the court, and began to pretend to be stupid.
