Chapter 391 The wine given by the emperor
"That's right. It's His Highness Prince Ning."
You old thing!
Let’s see if you still dare to ask for five-five!
"This, this, this! Boss Li, you, I...we have cooperated so many times, how come you have never told me about this!"
Old God Li Mingyue was there and smiled calmly: "My lord, you have never asked me!
Besides, I don’t dare to say anything unless it’s absolutely necessary.
I didn't have a close relationship with you before, so how could I dare to directly tell you about His Highness Prince Ning?
Today, it's different.
His Royal Highness Prince Ning heard that Mr. Yu and other lords were so caring and supportive of our business.
Every time I see Li, I am full of praise.
His Highness said that in the future, he would like me to cooperate more with you adults and learn more. "
Li Mingyue's words were full of threats.
After getting on their ship, it is difficult to get off.
It is even more difficult to lead them by the nose and greedy for more benefits.
"you!"
Yu Dehai, the Minister of Household Affairs, was extremely regretful, but this time the boat capsized in the gutter.
He left Pinxiang Tower angrily but helplessly.
His face was extremely ugly along the way. He was worried. Now, he and Prince Ning were so unclearly related.
In the future, if King Ning fails to seize the throne and the matter is exposed, they may all be implicated.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. After Yu Dehai left Pinxiang Tower in vain, he immediately asked the servant to send a message to the other adults involved in the matter, saying that he would meet at the same place after the court the next day to discuss important matters.
If it weren't for the fact that it was already late at night, he would probably be impatient to tell them this important matter.

"It's strange. I went to all my fellow villagers today to sign and sign, but I still couldn't find Brother Hu.
The old blind man said that he had not seen anyone from Brother Hu for several days. "
"Brother Hu?" After Su Li fell to Pinxiang Building and overheard the conversation between Yu Dehai and Li Mingyue, she rushed back to the resettlement area to meet Li Ergou.
Li Ergou accidentally mentioned Hu Yong to her.
"Yes, it's Hu Yong who I mentioned to the girl before. He initially encouraged me to go to the street... to bump into people and steal their wallets."
"Oh...it turns out to be him." Su Liluo thought for a moment and then asked, "He is missing?"
"Well, I asked a few people and they all said they haven't seen him in several days."
"We'll see in a few days." Su Liluo had a feeling that the person named Hu Yong disappeared at a strange time.
"it is good."

Deshan Hall
"Your Majesty, we have brought you here and are waiting outside the palace."
"Yeah. Bring it in."
"Yes."
In the main hall, the people kneeling on the ground were wearing simple coarse linen clothes.
When he entered the palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had just cleaned up his face and it was still clean.
However, it still cannot hide the vicissitudes of life on his face over the years.
"Hu Yong?"
"Cao, Cao people kowtow, kowtow to see the emperor, the emperor..."
At this time, Hu Yong was so frightened that he almost fainted.
Dongling Dilang smiled and said: "Why are you nervous? I am not a man-eating monster! You, get up and answer."
"Grass...grass...people, no, don't dare."
"I tell you to get up, just get up, Hu Ke..."
Emperor Dongling glanced at Hu Ke, and then glanced at Hu Yong, who was shaking like chaff.
Hu Ke immediately took a step forward and said gently to Hu Yong:
"Hu Yong, the Za family is also surnamed Hu. We were one family five hundred years ago! Your Majesty, if I ask you to get up and answer me, just get up!"
When Hu Yong heard Hu Ke's words, he nervously raised his head and looked at Emperor Dongling on the high platform. The glittering dragon chair was extremely dazzling.
But it attracts people's attention like a heavy and huge gold ingot.
Finally, Hu Yong finally stood up tremblingly, his head lowered, not daring to look around.
Emperor Dongling looked at him in a good mood: "Hu Yong, you have made a great contribution this time.
As for Li Ergou, you did a very good job. "
"The grass, grass people, can share the emperor's worries, it is the blessing of the grass people for eight lifetimes."
"Haha! Okay, that's good! Since you have merit, you should be rewarded!"
Emperor Dongling's dim and old eyes narrowed slightly and looked at Hu Ke standing aside.
"Come here and give me some wine."
As soon as Hu Ke's voice fell, two maids carrying trays slowly walked in from outside the palace door.
Hu Yong looked at the fairy-like maid and thought to himself, no wonder everyone wants to be the emperor, even this maid is as beautiful as a fairy.
The two maids stopped a step away from him, with a glass of wine on one of the trays.
In another tray were ten large gold ingots, neatly placed on the red brocade cloth, which was so dazzling that Hu Yong could hardly open his eyes.
"Hu Yong, this is the wine I reward you with. Try it!"
"Cao Cao people, thank you for your grace."
Hu Yong happily picked up the crystal cup on the tray and drank the glass of wine given by him without any doubt.
A moment later, Hu Yong, who was holding the heavy ten gold ingots, with bright red blood at the corners of his mouth, stared with horror in his eyes, and shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why? Why - what -?"
Isn’t he meritorious?
Why, Your Majesty, want to kill him! ?
Until his death, Hu Yong would not understand why he was given poisonous wine despite his meritorious service.
However, Hu Ke, who has served Emperor Dongling for most of his life, understands.
Your heart is like the sea!
He looked at Hu Yong's fallen body and sighed silently for him.
The trouble caused by greed!
[If you were not greedy, how could you lose your life? 】
It turned out that Hu Yong was the one who drugged Li Yueya before, causing her to develop a rash and a high fever that persisted.
Later, he encouraged Li Ergou to sneak out to the street and steal other people's money bags.
Finally, Zhang Da was found in advance and asked to guard Li Ergou. He was also the one who asked him to do things.
All this was done by Hu Yong.
The reason is that some time ago, the Jinlin Guards and the Longyin Guards have determined that many officials in the court colluded to embezzle money and food for disaster relief.
There are also letters that Prince Ning has been secretly communicating with the Chamber of Commerce.
Last time, Su Li visited the attic of the Chamber of Commerce at night, and Long Yunxuan rescued her from trouble as Situ Changfeng. The Dongling Emperor knew these things very well.
Naturally, he already knew the contents of the letters in Su Liluo's hands.
During this time, Emperor Dongling felt more and more that his body and bones were getting worse day by day.
He must do his best to clear the obstacles for Long Yunxuan before the deadline is approaching.
His people have been looking for the excuse to become a king, but they have never found it.
He does things neatly every time.
There seems to be negligence, and every time it leaves traces, it never leaves any strong evidence.
However, his stupid son, Prince Ning, is full of shit and cannot be wiped clean.
After much thought, Emperor Dongling decided to use Su Liluo as a chess piece to do something for him.
Now, it's done.
When the king's goal was achieved, Hu Yong, a chess piece that could be exposed at any time, would naturally be eliminated by him.
Now, it is enough to just wait for Su Liluo to expose the evidence she discovered through the mouths of Li Ergou and others!
He wanted to use the people's grievances to eradicate the silverfish in the Dongling court.
Then as a wise king, he would redress the injustice of the people.
