Chapter 394: Suicide for fear of crime
Liang Chaozong was handcuffed by two imperial guards. Although he could not move his body, his eyes were still full of ferocity and anger.
Just as several imperial guards took out ropes and prepared to tie him up and take him to task, suddenly, the sound of horse hooves rang through the sky.
Eight riders wearing black night clothes and masks came like a whirlwind.
The eight horses galloped like flying ghosts from the darkness.
These men in black quickly surrounded Liang Chaozong and the five imperial guards.
The eight men in black quickly took out darts from their arms and threw them out before the five imperial guards could react.
In the blink of an eye, five imperial guards were hit by darts and fell to the ground.
Liang Chaozong took the opportunity to break free.
"My lord, get on the horse!" The leading man in black shouted, and rode his horse in front of Liang Chaozong and pulled Liang Chaozong's belt hard.
Liang Chaozong endured the severe pain in his back, took a deep breath, and got on the horse.
"Come here quickly! They are trying to run away!"
A panicked male voice suddenly came from not far away, and then a dozen imperial guards ran over.
When they rushed over, Liang Chaozong and his men had already run away.
...
Yu's study.
"What? Did Liang Chaozong get away again?!" Emperor Mingxi's face was as cold as ice.
The second prince and Ying Chen stood in front of Emperor Mingxi's desk with their heads down.
"Father, it's my son's fault for not doing his job well." The second prince whispered.
Emperor Mingxi shook his head slowly: "No, it's not your fault."
[Liang Chaozong is the son of destiny, the male protagonist, and has the aura of a male protagonist.]
The voice of his daughter suddenly echoed in the ears of Emperor Mingxi.
Yes, his daughter has said it countless times, Liang Chaozong is the son of destiny, the male protagonist, and has the aura of a male protagonist.
In the dark, it seems that there is some power protecting him, and he is really hard to kill.
Thinking of this, Emperor Mingxi felt relieved.
Seeing that Emperor Mingxi was silent for a long time, Ying Chen spoke up with courage: "Your Majesty, don't be angry and damage the dragon body. Give me a few more days, and I will go to capture Liang Chaozong."
Emperor Mingxi waved his hand: "Forget it."
He has already thought it through. Since Liang Chaozong is difficult to kill, he will not embarrass himself first.
Daxia is now strong, and Liang Chaozong's power and intelligence network in Daxia have been wiped out. At present, Liang Chaozong is no longer a threat to Daxia. In this
case, it is better to use Liang Chaozong and take the opportunity to deal with Dai Viet.
He pondered for a moment, quickly drafted an imperial edict, and handed it to the second prince.
...
In the early morning, the welcoming hall.
The second prince held the imperial edict and read it to the Dai Viet delegation in person.
"Last night, the imperial guards saw Liang Chaozong escape from the welcoming hall. The Dai Viet delegation is suspected of colluding with and hiding the remnants of the Liang Dynasty..."
Han Lie and his group changed their faces suddenly.
"It's unfair!" Han Lie said hoarsely.
"It must be Liang Chaozong who secretly hid in the welcoming hall to avoid being hunted down. We are wronged!" Bai Zhou shouted at the top of his lungs.
The prince's face was as gloomy as water, but his hands were shaking slightly. "We are here for the sake of friendly relations between the two countries. We will never do such a thing. Please be careful."
The second prince put away the imperial edict and said lightly: "You all know that Liang Chaozong is the number one wanted criminal on my Great Xia list. But last night, the imperial guards saw him escape from the Yingbin Pavilion with their own eyes."
"This matter is serious and must be investigated in detail."
"Before the truth comes out, you will be confined to the Yingbin Pavilion for an indefinite period."
Han Lie and his party heard this and their faces were extremely ugly.
The period is indefinite, a few days, a few months, a few years, all possible.
It is not uncommon for envoys to be detained for a few years or even more than ten years when visiting foreign countries.
The second prince said with a fake smile: "Please stay here. We will quickly find out about Liang Chaozong and the plot to harm me."
After that, he put his hands behind his back and walked away in four directions, leaving Han Lie and his group alone in the wind.
In the inner room, Han Lie and the other two sat together.
The prince said coldly: "I have said long ago that you should not care about Liang Chaozong. Lord Han, you actually hid him in the guest house without telling me!"
Han Lie glared at the prince: "Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more!"
Bai Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead: "We will not be imprisoned by Daxia, will we? What can we do? They neither said they would let us go nor that they would not let us go."
"Can we go back?"
Han Lie patted Bai Zhou's shoulder gently and said softly: "Don't worry, we will definitely go back."
Late at night, Bai Zhou was tossing and turning in bed, and suddenly, the window creaked.
"Who!" Bai Zhou sat up in shock.
"It's me!" Han Lie responded in a low voice and jumped in from the window.
When Bai Zhou heard that it was Lord Han, his panic immediately eased.
"Lord Han, it's so late, do you have something to ask me?"
Han Lie lowered his voice to a very low level: "Hush! Keep your voice down, I came to you secretly to discuss something."
As he spoke, Han Lie had already come to Bai Zhou.
Bai Zhou said in the dark: "Lord Han, I was just thinking about talking to you about my ideas."
However, as soon as Bai Zhou said this, a poison needle pierced Bai Zhou's neck.
"Ah... why..." Bai Zhou covered his neck in pain, then rolled his eyes and fell on the bed.
At this time, a dark shadow also flipped in from the window and said, "Lord Han, it's done."
This person was Han Lie's personal bodyguard.
"Hang him up!" Han Lie's voice was unusually cold.
The guard responded, and quickly hung a towel on the beam, and then hung Bai Zhou's body on it.
The next morning, the servants who came to clean up found Bai Zhou's already hardened body, and immediately shouted at the top of their lungs: "Hurry up! Master Bai has committed suicide!"
Soon, all the members of the Dai Viet delegation, as well as many servants and maids in the reception hall, gathered around to watch the excitement.
After a while, the second and third princes also arrived.
"Stay back, you idle people!" The second prince shouted, and everyone left Bai Zhou's room.
Several imperial guards stepped forward and searched the room swiftly.
After a while, a guard held up a letter and said, "Second Prince, Third Prince, there is a letter under the pillow!"
The second prince took the letter, read it quickly, and his face was gloomy.
The letter was signed by Bai Zhou.
It turned out that the letter said: Bai Zhou sent someone to trap the second prince because he hated Daxia.
And because Liang Chaozong promised him that he would repay him with a large sum of money, he hid Liang Chaozong.
Now that the matter has been exposed, he knows that the truth cannot be concealed, so he ended his life and died to atone for his sins, hoping that the Emperor of Daxia can release the remaining innocent members of the delegation.
After reading the letter, the second prince ordered his men to take Bai Zhou's body away, and then he said nothing more, put the letter in his pocket, and went into the palace.
When the second prince came to Yu's study, Emperor Mingxi was discussing matters with the crown prince.
Today was a day off, so Xia Miaoyuan didn't have to go to school. She came to the study early in the morning to hear about the situation of the Dai Viet delegation.
The second prince said with a tense face: "My father, the Dai Viet envoy Bai Zhou was found in the guest house this morning and committed suicide out of fear of crime!"
