Chapter 612 Robbed Again
"Your Highness, Su Wenguang died in your hands..."
"He committed suicide!"
The Fourth Prince interrupted Liu Yunqing and said harshly, "His death has nothing to do with me!"
Liu Yunqing smiled bitterly: "But will the King of Chu believe you? And the reason why Su Wenguang committed suicide was to provoke a fight between the Fourth Prince and you.
The only way to resolve this matter is to take the initiative to apologize. His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has always been soft-hearted and not hard-hearted. If you take the initiative to come to him, he will definitely have nothing to say."
The fourth prince thought about it, then took a look at the sky outside, and finally made up his mind: "Well, you come with me."
The butler quickly prepared a generous gift, and the Fourth Prince rode his horse towards the Prince of Chu's Palace with a team of personal soldiers.
Night engulfed the sky and darkness enveloped the city of Kyoto.
The night breeze was blowing gently, and with the sound of galloping horses, the Fourth Prince arrived at the Prince of Chu's Palace.
Prince Chu's Mansion, inside the backyard house.
"The fourth prince is visiting?"
Chu Ning, who was accompanying Shen Wanying, raised his eyebrows and flashed a strange look: "It's so late, why did he come to see me?"
Shen Wanying smiled and pushed him out of the house: "Your Majesty, you should go and take a look first. You must have something important to tell me if you come here so late."
Chu Ning was helpless: "It seems that my idea of taking a bath together tonight cannot be realized..."
Before he could finish his words, he was pushed out by Shen Wanying, whose face was flushed red.
Front yard, living room.
The Fourth Prince stood behind him, looking thoughtful, while Liu Yunqing beside him had a serious expression on his face.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps and a loud laugh came: "Fourth brother is here to visit. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me."
As he spoke, Chu Ning walked into the hall.
The fourth prince shook his head and said in a deep voice: "If you want to ask for forgiveness, it should be me who should say it."
Chu Ning frowned: "What do you mean by that, Fourth Brother?"
The Fourth Prince was unable to start speaking and signaled Liu Yunqing beside him with his eyes to speak.
Liu Yunqing sighed and saluted: "Your Highness, Prince of Chu, Su Wenguang refused to confess no matter what. Your Highness ordered people to torture him severely, but he chose to commit suicide!"
"What, Su Wenguang is dead?"
Chu Ning's face darkened, and he looked unhappy: "I handed Su Wenguang over to my fourth brother in order to get information about the person behind it. Is this what you told me?"
Seeing Chu Ning furious, as if he was going to call for an explanation, Liu Yunqing quickly explained, "Your Highness, Prince Chu, calm down. Please listen to what I have to say."
Chu Ning glanced at the Fourth Prince and snorted coldly: "I want to see what explanation you have!"
Liu Yunqing immediately took out the generous gift that he had prepared long ago - a bottle of elixir that could increase one's strength!
"Your Highness, Prince Chu, this matter was indeed our negligence. For this, Your Highness the Fourth Prince is willing to use this elixir as compensation."
Liu Yunqing quickly explained: "This pill can increase your skills by several years and save you a lot of time in cultivation."
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes.
This medicine is better than the one given by the prince.
It seems that the Fourth Prince has spent a lot of money to calm the situation.
However, it seems that Su Wenguang was most likely not killed intentionally by the Fourth Prince, which also indirectly rules out the possibility that the Fourth Prince was the mastermind behind the incident.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Ning already had a result in his mind.
He reached out to take the pill and smelled it. A refreshing fragrance came over him, and his internal meridians began to stir.
The elixir is real!
Chu Ning put the medicine bottle into his sleeve and said coldly: "Since Fourth Brother is so sincere, I will accept the medicine, but you don't have to participate in this matter from now on!
In addition, Su Wenguang's body must be handed over to this king!"
Although he accepted the gift from the Fourth Prince, he had to make sure that Su Wenguang committed suicide.
Liu Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief: "His Highness the Prince of Chu has requested that His Highness the Fourth Prince agree to it."
When the Fourth Prince saw that the matter had been dealt with, he suppressed his anger and bowed, "If there is nothing else, I will not disturb you, Eighteenth Brother."
Having said that, he turned and left.
Liu Yunqing smiled bitterly: "Your Highness Prince Chu, please don't be surprised. Su Wenguang committed suicide, and the Fourth Prince was unhappy, which made him so impulsive."
Chu Ning nodded slightly: "I understand what Fourth Brother is thinking, but you must send Su Wenguang's body here immediately."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll send someone to deliver it shortly." Liu Yunqing responded and left immediately.
Chu Ning looked at the two people's backs as they left, a smile appearing on his lips.
Su Wenguang was given to the Fourth Prince on purpose!
On the one hand, he deliberately gave the Fourth Prince face, and on the other hand, he also wanted to test the Fourth Prince.
Now, he got the answer he wanted.
At this point, it can be ruled out that the Fourth Prince was involved in this matter.
Su Wenguang and Wei Kangping alone could not have accomplished so many things. There must be someone in the city helping them!
He ruled out the Crown Prince first, and the one with the greatest suspicion was of course the Fourth Prince, whose strength was second only to the Crown Prince!
But now it seems that Su Wen was tortured severely and eventually chose to commit suicide, which shows that the Fourth Prince was not the one behind the scenes.
“Who on earth is it?”
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed across them.
But what Chu Ning didn't know was that another big event was happening outside the city at this moment.
Under the cover of night, the cold wind was howling outside the city.
The sound of horse hooves disturbed the peace of the night. On the official road, torches flickered, and a team was heading towards Kyoto City.
This group of soldiers were from the Prince of Chu's Palace. It was already evening when they finished counting the silver in the manor.
This silver was of great importance, so they immediately transported it into the city.
Ten million taels of silver filled dozens of carts, each with several boxes.
The people in the palace hired some civilians to help with the transportation, but because there were so many people, the speed was not fast.
Just when the team was ten miles outside the city, torches appeared in the distance.
Then, the sound of galloping horses was heard.
"Kill them and grab the silver!"
The roar made the migrant workers' faces change drastically. Many of them didn't care about the carts they were pushing and just dropped them and ran away.
Anyone who is not a fool can see that the other side has a large number of people and is coming on war horses, and the people from the Chu Palace cannot stop them at all!
All of a sudden, all the cars loaded with silver stopped, the migrant workers fled, and the roads were blocked.
The palace guards were furious when they saw this: "No one is allowed to leave!"
But no matter how they shouted, the migrant workers still fled in all directions for their own lives.
As a result, the scene was in chaos.
The robbers rode their horses towards them, and the palace guards were few in number, so they were unable to stop them. After holding out for a while, they retreated one after another.
“Hahahaha, the guards of Prince Chu’s Palace are nothing but this!”
A masked robber laughed wildly, then stepped forward and opened the box.
Suddenly, shining silver appeared in front of everyone.
Picking up a silver ingot and taking a look at it, the man showed satisfaction: "Even the wisest man can make mistakes. No matter how powerful Chu Ning is, he never thought that his silver would be robbed again!"
"Come here, take all the silver away immediately, and send someone to clean up the scene. No traces can be left behind, not even the hoof prints of war horses!"
At the command, the robbers divided the work and some took the silver away, while others cleaned up the scene.
In half an hour, the scene was cleaned up.
The escaped palace guards also hurried back to Prince Chu's palace. They wanted to tell Chu Ning the news as soon as possible.
