The West Prince's Mansion has strict family rules and teaches the children of the family in a proper way. No matter how Lu Bei and Hu San threatened them, they were unable to pry Zhu Qiming's mouth open and make her reveal the mastermind behind the assassination.
Fortunately, the problem is not serious, it is just a frame-up. The Emperor of Xuanyinsi authorized this and this is the job he does.
Fox Three found Zhu Qiming's handwriting from somewhere, copied the indictment on the spot, and pointed out that the mastermind was the Western King Zhu Qi Ke. Not only that, the Western King's Mansion had another rebellion plan, which had been planned for many years, and wanted to drag the neighboring Tianjian Sect into the water.
After writing, Fox Three pressed Zhu Qiming's hand, leaving a bright red handprint.
"It's done!"
Fox Three nodded in satisfaction: "With this crime, it is enough to break the legs of the West Palace."
"Write another one just in case."
Lu Bei suggested, "You keep one and I'll keep the other."
"What do you mean, you want to go to Xianzhou alone?" Hu San was extremely surprised.
"Otherwise, will I hold you back?"
Lu Bei was even more surprised: "We are brothers, why would you not let me go even if you die?"
This made Hu San very angry. He knew, of course, that he could not provide support to Lu Bei in terms of military force, but he had brains and knew that there was strength in numbers. He would go to Xianzhou with them, one in the open and one in the dark, and mobilize the power of Xuanyinsi to help Lu Bei succeed.
Otherwise, Lu Bei would not know the seriousness of the matter and force the Western Palace to rebel.
By then, the emperor would certainly be very happy, but due to pressure from the clan, their positions as Purple Guards would come to an end.
How can I make money without my official position
Fox Three whined and moaned as he wrote another letter of accusation and forced Zhu Qiming to leave his fingerprints on it. The latter refused to comply and, as his soul was severely damaged, he could only watch himself "personally" confess that the West King's Mansion intended to rebel.
"By the way, do you still need the imperial robe, imperial seal or other evidence this time? If you do, we dug up a few genuine items in the East Palace a while ago."
"That's great. The more evidence the better." Lu Bei nodded happily.
Zhu Qiming was horrified by this lawless scene. She was shocked by the brazenness of Fox Three and Fox Four, and even more shocked by their rich experience and skill to the point of frightening.
It turned out that this was the true face of the Black Yamen. The Purple Guards of Xianzhou were much kinder than the two of them.
"You two are lawless and wantonly framing meritorious officials. Aren't you afraid that one day the truth will be revealed and the court will execute you?"
"What does it mean to frame someone? Second brother, explain it to me."
"Brother, you are joking. We brothers will never do anything against the law."
"That's right. Our Xuanyin Division is a good government office that values evidence. We never wrongly accuse a good person, and we never tolerate a traitor."
"That's right, who would believe that we framed a meritorious official?"
"Hahaha—" x2
Dog official!
Zhu Qiming closed his eyes, feeling that Wu Zhou's kingdom was not worth it, and strongly doubted whether the royal rule could continue for another thousand years.
As for Lu Bei, after reviewing the files of the Western Palace, he discussed with Hu San for a long time. One of them was full of bad intentions, and the other did not look like a human being. They quickly decided on the amount of mental damages and a series of steps to redress the grievances.
Lu Bei went to Xianzhou, and Hu San contacted his boss Yu Tao, and they took two approaches at the same time. The primary goal was to make money. If it didn't work, they would do the next best thing and give the West King's Mansion a hard blow, and let others see that the two purple guards of Ningzhou were not people who could be slaughtered at will, and they should consider their own abilities before touching them.
Lu Bei agreed and added another plan besides the previous one.
After all, plans are not as good as changes, and some unexpected events in the middle are understandable.
—
Xianzhou.
The western land of Wu Zhou is adjacent to Luzhou, and further west are the great countries of Qi and Yan.
Xiwang County is a strong city with two thousand soldiers stationed there, and there are another eight hundred private soldiers from Xiwang Mansion. The two gates guard Xiwang Mansion like an impregnable fortress. In addition, the local mountain gate for cultivation is under the command of Xiwang Mansion, so the strength of the guard is far beyond the surface.
But when it comes to grandeur and wealth, the West Palace is not even worthy of carrying shoes for the East Palace. When it comes to arrogance and domineering, the descendants of the West Palace's family can hardly catch up.
The West King's Mansion is extremely prestigious in West King County, so when attacking this place, they naturally cannot make a big fuss.
Besides, there are three Purple Guards in Xianzhou who are in charge of dispatch. Lu Bei is in charge of cross-regional law enforcement, and people may not give him face. He has no soldiers, so it is impossible for him to make a big move.
This trip is destined to be low-key.
BANG!!!
In front of the West King's Palace, the soldiers heard a loud bang, followed by dust rising into the sky and large pieces of rubble flying around.
The great formation in the mansion was activated, and when the dust settled, a large pit appeared in the open space in front of the mansion, and the neatly paved ground with stone slabs was in a mess.
One soldier was sharp-eyed and found that the woman in black in the pit looked quite familiar. He looked at her carefully and immediately swallowed a mouthful of ashes.
"It's Your Highness!"
"Someone come quickly, His Highness is injured!"
"What happened?"
After a brief confusion, the soldiers stepped forward quickly. Before they could get close, another black shadow fell from the sky and crushed the stone slabs with a bang.
The visitor was wearing an official robe with brocade patterns, a golden belt, a purple guard token hanging from his waist, purple silk cuffs, and an imperial sword across his back.
The appearance of the Purple Guard of Xuanyin Division, but...
The soldiers were stunned and confused for a moment. They had seen the three purple guards from Xuanyinsi of Xianzhou before, and they had even had meals with their own prince. But this one not only looked unfamiliar, but also dressed like a thief.
You are a Purple Guard, but you are also a corrupt official. Why are you covering your face with a black cloth in broad daylight? Why are you unwilling to show your true face to others
"Who are you? Tell me your name immediately!"
The leading sergeant sensed that the situation was not good and drew his sword with a clang.
"Ningzhou Purple Guard Lu Bei is here to pay a visit to the King of the West."
Under the angry eyes of the soldiers, Lu Bei raised his foot and stepped on Zhu Qiming's back, squeezing out two ounces of blood: "This is Lu's greeting gift. If it is convenient, please accept the gift in person, Your Majesty."
"Go and tell the prince quickly not to come out."
Zhu Qiming screamed loudly, and then he was hit hard on the back, and another mouthful of hot blood spurted out.
"I've told you so many times that my cousin is so seriously injured, so don't talk, but you won't listen. Look, you're vomiting blood again."
Lu Bei lowered his head and said with concern, glancing at the sergeant: "What are you still standing there for? Go and tell him. If you delay my cousin's recovery, you will have ten heads left."
"… "
What the hell, where did your cousin come from? When did the West Palace have a relative like you
"Don't listen..."
"puff!!"
Zhu Qiming vomited blood continuously, and ran into the mansion looking at the non-commissioned officer's back in grief and anger.
In front of the West Palace is Zhuque Street. The entire street is owned by the Zhu family. The commercial area is prosperous and they make money in a good way, which soon attracted a large number of onlookers.
Unlike the people in front of the East Palace, these people were watching the fun with some resentment, and looked at Lu Bei with disgust. If it weren't for his black official uniform, green leaves would have flown towards him.
As for the rotten eggs...
TV dramas are all lies. Who would have the time to carry a few rotten eggs in their sleeves all day? Wouldn’t they be fragrant if you cook them before they go bad
After a while, a middle-aged man in a black robe walked out quickly, surrounded by guards.
The man has a high nose bridge and phoenix-like eyes that look impressive and imposing, and he looks very good.
King of the West, Zhu Qike.
This is what royal relatives should look like. The Zhu family was originally a family of immortals. They later ruled the country for 800 years. The generations have been breeding and matching with excellent genes. The parents have a strong foundation and will not give birth to ugly children.
Even the Dongwangzhu family has potential per capita. When they lose weight, the men can look like cakes and the women can look like lipstick. No matter how bad it is, it can't be too bad.
The red blood stung his eyes. Seeing his elder sister Zhu Qiming lying on the ground, Zhu Qiming narrowed her eyes slightly to hide the murderous intent in them, and shouted angrily at the surrounding soldiers: "What are you still standing there for? The princess is seriously injured, why don't you invite her into the mansion quickly?"
After he finished speaking, he did not give Lu Bei a chance to speak, but clasped his fists and thanked him, "So you are Ningzhou Lu Ziwei. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Your Excellency saw injustice and drew his sword to help, saving my eldest sister from danger. Please come into the mansion quickly. I will definitely reward you handsomely."
"Your Highness has recognized the wrong person. She is not a princess."
Lu Bei waved his hand and blew up a strong wind, knocking over the soldiers who came forward to rescue him. "This woman came all the way to Ningzhou to assassinate me, but she was no match for my superior skills. I beat her half to death on the spot, and then tortured her severely to force her to reveal that the mastermind was Zhu Qi Ke from the Western Palace. Your Majesty is such a person, I firmly don't believe it, so I brought her here to confront you face to face. With just one word from you, I will make her bleed within five steps today."
At this point, Lu Bei slowly drew out the imperial sword, and held it above Zhu Qiming's head, saying meaningfully: "This sword was given by your majesty. Even if she is a royal relative, I can kill her first and report later. Not to mention that she is a fake princess, even if she is a real princess with a title, I can still kill her."
Zhu Qike's face was grim, and he said in a deep voice: "Lu Ziwei, you are joking. The princess is genuine. It is a title bestowed by His Majesty himself. How can it be fake?"
"Oh, so this person is really the prince's elder sister, and not a killer pretending to be the princess?" Lu Bei exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course it's true."
"Then the prince is in trouble!"
Lu Bei took out the indictment, raised his hand above his head, and said loudly: "The confession was written by the princess herself, stating that the prince assassinated the court official and had the intention of rebellion and subverting the Wu Zhou state. Your Majesty, please read it carefully, this is the original signature of the princess."
Hearing this, the onlookers calmed down instantly and stuffed the green leaves they had just bought into their mouths before throwing them away.
Among them, a few people slowly retreated behind the crowd, each going their own way and returning home to report the intelligence.
Zhu Qike was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Lu Ziwei, please don't scare me. There must be some misunderstanding. The princess has been missing for several days, and I have searched all over Xianzhou but couldn't find her. But according to my investigation, the princess's disappearance is related to the demonic cultivation. What happened afterwards... It is not convenient to say more here. Let me thank Lu Ziwei for saving my life again."
On the ground, Zhu Qiming, who had taken a few breaths, struggled to speak: "Yes, I was possessed by the devil..."
"puff!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Bei retracted his foot as if nothing had happened, and with a look of concern, he placed the blade against the back of Zhu Qiming's neck: "Cousin, if you are seriously injured, don't talk. Look at you, you almost bumped into the blade."
On the other side, Zhu Qi Ke was so angry that he was shaking all over. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "The princess is so noble. Why do you punish her before the final judgment? On the contrary, you cover your head and face and don't show your true face to others. I would like to ask, are you really a Ningzhou Purple Guard!"
"In my opinion, it should not be."
A man dressed in purple guard uniform walked out of the West King's Palace and looked at Lu Bei intently: "Who are you? You are so bold that you dare to pretend to be the emperor's personal soldier!"
