Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 615 Mitian (1)

   Zongren Mansion.

  Since the third prince Li Hao and the fifth prince Li Chang were imprisoned in the dungeon, the number of guards in the ancestral mansion has tripled, and the guards are very strict.

   The Duke of Dongping did not return to the palace, and stayed in the ancestral mansion.

   The people who deliver meals to the third prince and the fifth prince every day are the confidants of the Duke of Dongping. Except for them, no one can get close to the dungeon.

  The news of the Qian family's death reached the ears of the Dongping County King, and the Dongping County King also gasped.

   This method cannot be described as brutal.

   One shot is dozens of lives.

   Could it be that the person who did it was really Li Chang?

  Dongping County King hesitated for a while, but went to the dungeon.

   The dungeon of the Zongren Mansion is actually empty all year round.

  Emperor Yongjia only established a new dynasty for more than ten years. The people of the Li clan followed Emperor Yongjia in the east and west to fight, and the casualties and wounds that died were less than half of what they are today. Moreover, at this time, there is no rule that the imperial clan of the previous dynasty could not be an errand. Emperor Yongjia trusts his own people very much, but there is a real difference in everything that needs to be used.

   The clan of the Li clan is too busy on errands, and the dudes who are fighting cock-fighting lackeys will not come to the clan’s mansion as long as they don’t make big mistakes.

   Therefore, the ancestral mansion of the Duke of Dongping is upright, and there are no major events on weekdays. Occasionally, one or two clan members are locked in the dungeon, and as long as they are not guilty of murder and beheading, they will be released soon.

   During this period, the dungeon really came in handy.

   Li Hao and Li Chang were detained separately and could not see each other.

  The King of Dongping County knew the taboos, never entered the dungeon, and never met Li Hao and Li Chang.

   But now, Li Chang's suspicion is getting bigger and bigger, and the Ministry of Punishment should soon come to the Zongren's house to ask the case. He is an upright sect man, and he can't be blind.

The    dungeon is built underground and is guarded by more than 100 guards outside. After getting down from the dungeon, it is a long passage. On both sides of the passage, there is a dungeon every few meters.

   Walking to the middle, the dungeon is divided into two roads, the left and the right, each of which is tortuous and endless, with no end in sight.

  The Duke of Dongping did not hesitate, but turned to the left. All the way forward, after about a cup of tea, he finally stopped.

   At the end of the dungeon, there is a cell.

The    cell was about nine feet square, with a narrow couch, a table and chairs, and a toilet. There were also several empty bowls and empty dishes on the table.

  Li Chang has a good appetite. It's time to wait, and every meal can still be eaten.

  The Duke of Dongping twitched the corners of his mouth and signaled to the guards beside him. The guard took out the key and stepped forward to unlock it. As soon as the chain sounded, the plump figure who was lying on the bed facing inward immediately turned over.

   The bed was too narrow, and the figure was too big and fat. When he turned over, he actually rolled to the edge of the bed and fell to the ground with a thud.

  The ground trembled.

  Li Chang screamed miserably.

   The Duke of Dongping couldn't help rubbing his forehead. Such an idiot in front of him doesn't look like someone who can do such things as destroy the money family.

  Li Chang got up from the ground in embarrassment, wiped his face with the back of his hand, and shouted, "Uncle Wang!"

  Dongping County King calmed down and entered the dungeon.

   The personal soldiers did not need to be ordered, and they all withdrew from the dungeon, about five or six meters away.

  The Duke of Dongping looked at Li Chang with complicated eyes.

  Li Chang was locked in the dungeon for so many days, no one spoke to him at all. Almost choked to death. At this time, seeing the Prince of Dongping County, he was a little excited: "Uncle Wang, how is your father now?"

  The Duke of Dongping County said with a blank expression: "The emperor was so mad at your brothers that he fainted, and after he woke up, he was still lying on the dragon couch."

   When Li Chang heard this, he didn't feel any guilt. Instead, he raised his brows, and there was a hint of self-satisfaction on his fat face.

   For so many years, he has been like an invisible man with a thin sense of existence. No one cared about him, no one even gave him a second look. This time, he finally did something earth-shattering.

   Come to think of it, everyone will never ignore him again!

Ha ha!

   Dongping County King was surprised and disbelieving when he saw Li Chang's expression: "Li Chang, do you know what you did? Are you still in a good mood?"

  You really want to die!

  Li Chang straightened his back, and the light of the candle burning in the dungeon shone on his fat face, with a somewhat arrogant and tenacious meaning: "I know very well what I did."

   "Uncle Wang, my mother can't just die in vain. I want to avenge my mother!"

The blue veins jumped on the forehead of the Prince of Dongping County, and he wished to take an axe to open Li Chang's head to see what was in Li Chang's mind: "Concubine Su has been dead for four years. It's fine, what revenge do you want! If you want revenge, you shouldn't hook up with the Qian family and assassinate the prince!"

  Li Chang's small eyes flashed a cold light of resentment: "I hate him the most! If it wasn't for him to support Lu Mingyu, how would Lu Mingyu dare to poison my mother."

   "When the prince dies, what is the prince concubine!"

  The Duke of Dongping stared at Li Chang closely: "Li Chang, you can't talk nonsense. The assassination of the prince was really what you did? Are you taking the blame for Li Hao?"

  Li Chang raised his head slightly and said proudly: "One person does things and one person is responsible! I do everything, and it has nothing to do with the third brother! If you want to fight or kill, come to me!"

  Dongping County King asked abruptly: "The Qian family is dead, did you know?"

  Li Chang sneered: "The Qian family is useless, what's the use of keeping them! It's good to die!"

  Dongping County King's suspicion deepened.

  Li Chang was not surprised at the death of the Qian family. Could it be that Li Chang really ordered the poisoning of Qian's family?

  Li Chang saw that the Duke of Dongping was silent, and his heart was strangely happy: "Uncle Wang, did you come to the dungeon specially to ask these questions?"

The Prince of Dongping County calmed down, opened his mouth and said, "This murder case has dozens of lives, and it also involves the assassination of the prince. Someone from the Ministry of Punishment will soon come to interrogate in person. I came here to warn you. Because of a moment of anger, I took the blame for Li Hao."

Li Chang snorted out of his nose: "A man is a man, if you dare to do it, you can do it! What I have done, I can't let the third brother bear the burden. If the **** from the Ministry of Punishment wants to come, just let them come. I frown, it's not Li. Chang."

  Dongping County King: "..."

  The Duke of Dongping has nothing to say.

   He took a deep look at Li Chang and turned to leave.

   The personal soldiers soon followed the Duke of Dongping. Only two were left, guarding outside the dungeon.

   The two personal soldiers looked at each other and sighed in their hearts.

   In the past, I looked down on this fifth prince. When everyone mentioned the fifth prince before, they all felt that the fifth prince was cowardly, timid and mediocre, obese and stupid.

   I never thought that His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince would dare to kill so many people.

  Li Chang turned around and climbed onto the bed again. He was lying on the inside, no one could see his face at this time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
