Chapter 338 The Disappearing Storyteller
It is said that the Second Prince was originally favored by the Emperor in Kyoto and served closely beside the Emperor!
But who would have thought that the emperor would hand over important matters to him, and he was eager for quick success and instant benefits, and even killed many people for the sake of benefits. For a time, the court was furious, and even the emperor was extremely disappointed in him!
At this time, rumors spread in the capital that the second prince had secretly opened an iron mine in the far south in order to raise an army!
"Raising troops! This is a huge matter. As a prince, it is equivalent to treason. It is unforgivable!"
"That is to say, His Majesty is kind-hearted..."
"Of course~"
The storyteller paused, and in the eyes of everyone who wanted to dig open his brain to see what was going on, he calmly drank a sip of tea and continued, "There is no evidence!"
He spread his hands, a smile of triumph flashing in his eyes.
"嘁~~"
The spectators in the teahouse applauded.
"pat..."
The fruit in Xie Yunshan's hand fell.
"What did he just say?" he asked in disbelief.
Jiang An also had the same shocked expression and did not forget to stuff dried apricots into his mouth.
"He said iron ore?"
General Xie lowered his voice.
I heard the storyteller's voice again downstairs, this time it was the story of Princess Mobei~
But the two people above don't want to listen...
One big and one small, two heads put together, the dog was having a secret discussion.
"How does he, a storyteller, know that?"
"Have you told anyone else?"
Jiang An rolled his eyes at him and angrily retorted, "Do you think An An is a fool?"
I stole it back, and I told others?
Isn't this just like washing your neck and waiting to be slaughtered?
"I haven't told anyone else!"
At that time, no one else knew about the iron mine except her father and his personal guards.
Well, a problem arises...
How on earth did he, a storyteller, know that?
coincidence?
That's just too coincidental...
Moreover, this storyteller came all the way from Kyoto to the north, and there is no telling how many cities he passed through.
Did he say the same thing in other cities?
In this way, no matter whether the second prince wants to rebel or not, the people have already determined that he is going to rebel!
The people have lost their hearts...
Not to mention becoming a crown prince, I'm afraid if this continues, he won't even be able to become a prince.
It seems like Jiang Yizhou is being forced to do so!
"The person behind this is very shady."
Xie Yunshan said with emotion.
The little girl frowned and suggested, "How about... we tie him up, beat him up, and then ask him?"
He thought about it and said, "Not so good..."
If he was really instructed by someone, he would have determined that this was a dead end, and a confession made under torture would not necessarily be the truth.
The confession you get might be a mixture of true and false, which may lead you into someone else's trap.
"that…"
Yun Yi interrupted and asked, "Does the Second Prince's rebellion have anything to do with us?"
Don't blame him, he was just confused and couldn't help but ask a question, that's all.
Yes…
Xie Yunshan raised his eyebrows. The Second Prince was rebelling against the Jiang family. Why should he worry about it?
There are 30,000 Akabane soldiers in the capital, several century-old families, his father Prime Minister Xie, and the Empress Dowager.
What kind of trouble can a mere second prince stir up in Nan Shang?
No matter what, the North will always be a pure land under the protection of Jiang Jichen and the National Defense Army!
Jiang An didn't give up, "Then should we still tie it up?"
She's been quite free lately...
Xie Yunshan waved his hands, "Oh, no, no more... no more!"
He snatched the plate of dried apricots from the little girl's arms and said, "Pay attention!"
Jiang An's eyebrows drooped, "Okay~"
At this time, the storyteller happened to be talking about the Mobei princess' struggle for power after returning to her country...
It is said that this princess was domineering to begin with, and now in order to fight for power, she completely disregarded royal ethics and beat up everyone from uncles to cousins!
Even the heir that King Mobei had originally favored almost died at her feet.
Despite this, the woman still had the audacity to tell her father that if the heir he chose was not as good as her, then it would be better for her to come!
After all, she is the Princess of Mobei and she wouldn't be scared to pee her pants by a horse!
In response to this, the storyteller spread his hands, looking helpless.
"You know, the horse's hooves are stepping on your legs and crushing your bones. Why would you care if you pee or not?"
Some people in the teahouse gasped, some laughed, and some praised the Mobei princess, saying that as a woman she was brave enough to fight and compete, which was great!
She is of the most noble bloodline in Mobei. Why should she let a cousin bully her like that?
Xie Yunshan raised his eyebrows, threw a piece of dried apricot into his mouth, and said with a teasing smile, "Look, what you have done~"
The little princess was a bit domineering before, but she was never this fierce!
Jiang An glared, "What does it have to do with me~"
Her eyes rolled around and she moved her little body to the side with an expression that said, "Don't get close to me."
"hiss…"
General Xie rubbed the little girl's face and said, "Why are you hiding?"
"Well!"
Jiang An's head was held in someone's hand, and he tried to pull his body back, trying to escape.
After a lot of effort, the results are actually zero~
She was so angry that she shouted, "Four four!"
With a whoosh sound~
Before Jiang Si could move a leg, General Xie pulled his hand back.
Xie Yunshan touched the claw that was still there and let out a long sigh.
Fortunately, fortunately, the hand is still there~
"Humph!"
Jiang An covered her fair and tender little face and snorted at him.
After listening to the storytelling, Xie Yunshan returned to the palace with the little girl.
Although this book says that the gentleman's origins are a bit strange, what he tells is very interesting!
Therefore, General Xie also agreed with Jiang An to fight again tomorrow!
But unfortunately, when they went to the teahouse again tomorrow, the storyteller on the stage was replaced by a beautiful girl playing the pipa.
Xie Yunshan went to the store and found out that the storyteller was missing!
In the guest room arranged by the teahouse, he disappeared without a trace.
His luggage and personal belongings were all there, even his outer robe was hanging in the room, so it was obvious that he couldn't have escaped on his own...
"This is the teahouse I opened with great difficulty!"
They were pointing at this storyteller to solicit customers. Who on earth was so ungrateful that he kidnapped that person?
Xie Yunshan: "Don't worry, have you reported it to the police?"
"Young General, there's no point in reporting to the authorities!"
He didn't know his name or where he was from.
General Xie was speechless. Then there was really no good solution...
According to the store owner, he had a conversation with the storyteller before curfew, and went to the guest room early this morning to look for him, but when he entered, the person was gone.
It is conceivable that the storyteller was kidnapped after curfew.
The Black Armors are in charge of the city's curfew. Who can escape from under their noses?
The more he thought about it, the more General Xie felt something was wrong...
He touched the tip of his nose, glanced at the little girl who was drowsy after listening to the pipa, and thought to himself: Could it be that the prince did it? ?
