Chapter 242 Adding fuel to the flames
There was endless singing and dancing in the hall of Jueshi Tower, and everyone was drinking and having fun. Jiang Hao was also there, sitting with Zhang Jiansheng and chatting.
"Brother Runyu, are you preparing to take the provincial examination this time?" Zhang Jiansheng asked.
"Yes, I have been reading intensively these days. I hope Qiu Wei can win the first place. I have been dizzy from reading these days, so I came to Jueshi Tower to relax for two days." Jiang Hao said.
"With Brother Runyu's talent and knowledge, it is not easy to win the exam. Once Brother Runyu succeeds in the exam, it will be even more important in the heart of the prince." Zhang Jiansheng said with a slightly sour taste.
...
While the two were chatting, a woman in white walked in from the outside. She knelt down at the foot of the steps with graceful steps and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
When Wang Laoshi saw Shi Yan who was gifted to him by King Ning, he was a little dazed and shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing here?"
Shi Yan did not look at Wang Laoshi, but took out a piece of jade with a dragon pattern from his arms, held it in both hands and handed it to him, "Your Majesty, Shi Yan has something to report."
Prince Ning looked at the woman below, and asked with a sullen face and some surprise: "What's the matter with you?"
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wang went to bed in my room last night and left this thing behind when he got up in the morning. Yan'er saw that this jade was exquisite and seemed to be some kind of treasure, so she came here specially to bring it back to Mr. Wang." Shi Yan said.
He said he was giving something to Wang Laoshi, but instead of giving it to him, he gave it to Prince Ning. Almost everyone knew what he wanted to do.
Prince Ning's eyes looked at the jade in Shi Yan's hand, and his eyes became sharp, "Someone, bring it up."
A guard came over and took the jade from Shi Yan's hand and gave it to King Ning. King Ning took the jade and looked it up and down. Mr. Wang looked confused next to him. He looked at the jade and then looked at Shi Yan and said, "This is not
It’s my stuff.”
Shi Yan just lowered her head and ignored Wang Laoshi.
When Jiang Hao saw this scene, he was surprised. He originally asked Diao'er to secretly put the jade in Wang Laoshi's room, and then looked for an opportunity to report it. Unexpectedly, Shi Yan discovered it and took the jade directly to report to Prince Ning.
He also didn't expect the plot to develop like this.
After King Ning saw the jade, he turned to the king with a gloomy face and said honestly: "Where did you get this jade?"
Wang Laoshi said blankly: "Your Majesty, I don't know."
Prince Ning took a deep breath and said, "Shi Yan, please tell me."
Shi Yan then raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, last month, Wang Laoshi stole the treasures from the prince's treasury. After being punished by the prince, he was always angry. He often cursed in the room and vented his anger on me and Xiaoman. Yesterday, Wang Laoshi was in the room.
Go to sleep, and when I woke up in the morning, I found this jade under the place where he slept. Shi Yan belongs to the prince. He was afraid that someone would do harm to the prince and could not see the people around him clearly, so he came to report it. "
Although Wang Laoshi was a little stupid, he was not stupid. When he heard what Shi Yan said, he immediately became angry, "You little bitch framed me. When did I curse the prince? This jade is not mine. I never took it."
Get over this thing.”
"Everything Yan'er reports is true."
Shi Yan knew that things were already like this, there was no room for turning back, and she had to hold on until the end.
Last month, a bag of jewelry was found in Wang Laoshi's room. Prince Ning was already a little dissatisfied with Wang Laoshi. Now someone in Wang Laoshi's room reported that Wang Laoshi was dissatisfied with him, which made Prince Ning even more unhappy.
The treasure is secondary, but the main reason is that he cannot tolerate his subordinates being disrespectful and disloyal to him.
Holding the jade in his hand, Prince Ning shouted to Wang Laoshi with an angry look on his face, "Tell me, where did this jade come from?"
"I don't know, Your Majesty." Wang Laoshi could only say this.
Prince Ning's face was gloomy and uncertain. When Jiang Hao saw that his mind suddenly changed, he knew that this was a good opportunity and he needed to give it a try.
He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I know the origin of this jade."
Everyone looked at Jiang Hao together.
Jiang Haodao: "Your Majesty, the jade in your hand is engraved with a dragon pattern on the front, a Qin character in the middle, a cloud pattern on the side, and a glass pattern on the back."
Prince Ning looked through it and said, "That's true. You know this piece of jade."
Jiang Haogong handed over his hand, "Your Majesty knows that I have the ability to have a photographic memory. When I was sorting out the treasure house, I wrote down the status of all the treasures in the treasure house. This jade should be recorded in the first few columns of the Jade Category, Tang Dynasty.
The location, the specific name is Article."
Prince Ning ordered the guard next to him: "Go and get the catalog of the treasure house."
Not long after, the guard came over with a stack of books. Prince Ning found that one, looked through it, and found that what was written on it was exactly the same as what Jiang Hao said.
Jiang Hao continued: "When I saw this piece of jade, I had a guess. The pattern on it was obviously that of the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties. It also used dragon patterns to represent identity, and there was also the word Qin. I guessed that it was very
It may be the jade that Taizong Li Shimin carried with him when he was the King of Qin. If that is the case, it is an incredible treasure."
When King Ning heard that it belonged to Taizong Li Shimin, he was even more furious. He looked at Wang Laoshi and shouted, "What else do you have to say now?"
"I don't know, Your Majesty, this little bitch must have framed me, and I was unjustly accused." Wang Laoshi pointed at Shi Yan and pointed at Shi Yan.
Prince Ning suddenly sneered, "I don't know, I don't know. You said you didn't know last time. I thought you had been with me for a few years and served as a guard, so I let you go without going into details. I didn't expect you to relapse and commit theft again."
"
Wang Laoshi gasped in anger, "Your Majesty, I really don't have one."
The most unbearable thing for a fool is to be wronged, so he was less respectful in his reply and directly contradicted Prince Ning.
suddenly,
Wang Laoshi glared at Shi Yan, who was kneeling below, and said through gritted teeth: "Bitch, why did you frame me up? Did you also want to harm me about the package of jewelry last time? I'm going to kill you, bitch."
As soon as Mr. Wang touched his body, there was a flying knife in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, the flying knife was shot towards Shi Yan. His movements were extremely swift.
The incident happened suddenly. No one was prepared for Wang Laoshi to take action. Even if he was prepared, so what. He is one of the best flying knife masters in the world. There were a few people who were able to escape. Everyone saw Wang Laoshi suddenly move. Then they looked at the female Ji Shiyan.
, had been stabbed in the chest and fell to the ground.
Shi Yan didn't even have time to scream, and fell to the ground with her eyes wide open, refusing to close her eyes.
Seeing this scene, Prince Ning was also shocked. The fatal scholar next to him saw it and immediately jumped out and stood between Wang Laoshi and Prince Ning. He drew his sword in his hand and looked at Wang Laoshi warily.
Prince Ning stood up abruptly and pointed at Wang Laoshi, "Ah, you bastard, you dare to kill people at will in front of me. Wang Laoshi, if you want to rebel, come here, pull this guy down and beat him hard."
50 lashes and then put in a dungeon."
The guards next to him immediately stepped forward, and several of them twisted Wang Laoshi's arm and dragged him outside. Wang Laoshi was dragged a few steps, and he stopped and shouted to Prince Ning: "Your Majesty, I really didn't do it. I was wronged."
.”
Prince Ning was furious, but the one who was willing to listen to him said, "Pull him down and beat him hard."
