Chapter 1421 Generous

Zhou Shuren walked slowly out of the palace. He and the emperor both knew that the prince would be assassinated, but they did not expect such a large-scale assassination. The assassins who followed the emperor secretly had to show up.

Now that the crown prince is safe, the emperor is relieved, but he didn't mention a word about his grandson. Yes, no one else is as important as the crown prince, but what about his grandson?

His grandson and Shangguan Liu are the prince's cover. The assassins would rather kill them by mistake than let them go. His grandson is very dangerous.

After leaving the palace, Zhou Shuren looked back at the palace, cursing in his heart, "damn imperial era". He took a deep breath and made another note of the Wen family.

What can he do now? He can only wait for news. It is impossible to send someone over. It is really frustrating. Damn the news delay. How good it is in modern times. One phone call will tell you everything.

Liu family, Guo opened a large warehouse in their home. The large warehouse was the Liu family's savings over the years. The Liu family had accumulated a lot of good things from generation to generation, and they took the opportunity to collect some of them when the chaos broke out.

Mrs. Guo picked out the engagement gift for the Zhou family and saw her youngest son as soon as she went out. "Why are you here?"

Liu Yuanbo felt embarrassed and said, "I just came to take a look."

Thinking of her eldest son's engagement, Guo couldn't help but laugh, "When your brother got engaged, you thought the gift he chose was too expensive and you refused to let go."

Liu Yuanbo blushed, "Mom, I was still young at that time."

There is a big age gap between him and his eldest brother. He was born when his eldest brother was ten years old, and he was only six years old when his eldest brother got married.

Guo, "You are the one who dug it. Your elder brother was so embarrassed at that time."

It was also difficult for the eldest son to grow up. Fortunately, he grew up with his father. If he really wanted to follow his husband, his husband would have been picky about his son. When the younger son was born, the younger son would still be watching him. It was too difficult for the eldest son.

Guo thought again about the time when she was engaged. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law chose her because she was good at spending money and was willing to spend it. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law were afraid that the reputation of the Liu family would be tarnished by her husband.

I never thought that she and her husband would get along so well.

Guo pointed at the gift for the marriage proposal and asked, "Are you going to pick it up again this time?"

Liu Yuanbo took a quick look and cleared his throat, "Is it too little?"

Guo, "...You really take after your father. Don't let your eldest brother know what I said today."

The eldest son knew he would cry, thinking that his younger brother had been raised in vain.

Liu Yuanbo touched his nose and said, "The second branch of the Zhou family is more than wealthy. You have also seen Miss Zhou San's knowledge of gemstones. Master Zhou Er must have a high vision."

Guo smiled, "The eldest daughter of the Zhou family has a rich dowry. The second daughter of the second room is getting married this week, and her dowry is not bad either."

Although she liked Yudie very much, who would complain that the dowry was too little? Among girls of the same background, she would choose one with more dowry. Life in the capital city depends on money, and as a mother, she naturally hopes that her son and daughter-in-law will have a prosperous future.

The prince did not arrive at the mountain village until the afternoon. This was because he set out before dawn, which shows how far Mingrui and the other ran at that time.

After experiencing an assassination attempt, the generals defending Huizhou did not dare to be careless. If something happened to the prince in Huizhou, all officials in Huizhou would be implicated.

There were many soldiers escorting the prince, and he was surrounded by assassins. The small mountain village was surrounded from inside and outside.

Mingrui and Shangguan Liu had met the prince before. The prince's eyes did not show much emotion. Two days had made him less nervous. "I'm glad you're all okay."

Shangguan Liu felt emotional in his heart. This was the first time the prince had been assassinated, so he would remember it clearly. But after experiencing more in the future, he would no longer remember it.

Mingrui stood aside. He also felt that the prince was different. His appearance had not changed, but his aura had changed. He was becoming more and more majestic like a crown prince.

The prince smiled and said, "You two have made contributions. You will be rewarded when you return to the capital."

Mingrui and the other thanked the prince.

When the prince saw the two men, he wanted to see the gold and asked Vice General Wang, "What can you find out?"

Vice Admiral Wang said, "Someone has confessed. When mining was first started, there were many people in the village. As the output of gold decreased, they basically all left. They are the most marginalized people. They don't know where the gold is going. However, someone will come to collect the gold once every six months."

Prince, "Is it half a year now?"

"Not yet. The last time we took gold was in February."

The prince raised his eyebrows and said, "I will come to get the gold again in August. Take me to see the gold."

Today all the gold stored in the cave was moved down and placed in the house.

The prince entered the house with a sense of relief, but was still disappointed when he saw the amount of gold. "The gold mine is all gone."

Deputy General Wang was also very heartbroken. This was Huizhou's gold mine, and it had been hollowed out right under his noses for so many years.

The prince took the gold and looked at it. He felt even more heartbroken when he saw that it was of good purity. He even thought about returning to the capital to ask his father to reward him with some silver.

The prince took a pen and paper and wrote to his father, saying that the gold mines must be reported.

The news of the prince's assassination could not be concealed. There were many young masters from noble families who went with him this time, so how could there be no casualties? The assassin must kill them all.

Even though Shangguan Liu brought away a large number of assassins and the death squad arranged by the emperor appeared in time, the weak young man was still killed.

Fortunately, the casualties were not serious. Three seriously injured people were rescued, only two died, and very few people were slightly injured. It was not because the young masters were good at martial arts, but because every move of the assassin was fatal.

The emperor received the news of the prince's assassination in the morning, and received the details of the assassination in the afternoon. The Shangguan family and the Zhou family were fine. He looked at the two dead people and was silent for a moment. Fortunately, neither of them was the eldest son.

If Shangguan Liu and Zhou Mingrui died, the Shangguan family and the Zhou family would become mortal enemies with the Wen family. The Shangguan family is the maternal family of the future Crown Princess, and the Wen family is the Crown Prince's in-laws. The emperor had a blank expression on his face. He hoped that Shangguan Liu and Zhou Mingrui would be safe.

Because the prince was assassinated in Huizhou, the Huizhou prefect was almost scared to death, so he reported it to the emperor immediately.

No one dared to keep the news of the crown prince's assassination a secret. With the urgent memorial from the prefect of Huizhou reaching the capital, everyone in the capital knew that the crown prince had been assassinated.

One day later, during the morning court session, the emperor looked grim and asked, "This is an urgent memorial from the prefect of Huizhou. The prince was assassinated. Who do you think was responsible?"

Lord Wen was one of the first people to know that the prince had been assassinated. He felt a lot of people looking at him, two of whom were staring at him with hatred. Lord Wen felt bitter in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have let Wen Xu go. It was no use regretting it now.

Traveling with the prince meant danger and opportunity. If Wen Xu hadn't exposed the prince's whereabouts, the deaths would not have been blamed on the Wen family. But now everyone is staring at the Wen family with hatred.

Zhou Shuren was anxious, as he had been keeping the news a secret. Now the Huizhou prefect's memorial had arrived in Beijing, and the Emperor did not want to keep it a secret. Today everyone in the capital would know that the prince had been assassinated.

Many ministers expressed their opinions, some said it was the remnants of the previous dynasty, some said it was the southern nobles, some said it was the ambitions of the grasslands, and so on, there were all kinds of speculations.

Some people even looked at Mr. Liu without saying anything.

This scared old man Liu, who was watching the Wen family's drama, to death. How stupid must the Liu family be to take action at this time? The Queen has two legitimate sons. Now is not the time to take action at all.
