  Chapter 1228 The Death of the Scumbag (6)

   "Mother Concubine! Mother Concubine!"

   King Xuan rushed into the imperial concubine hall in a panic.

   Concubine Liu Gui put on her clothes and came out: "What's the matter, son?"

   King Xuan was still in shock and said: "I...I...I killed Geng Huai..."

   Concubine Liu Gui's complexion changed: "Say it again! Who did you kill?"

   "Geng...the fourth son of the Geng family...Geng Huai."

  Concubine Liu Gui's body turned cold: "How could you kill him?" How could you kill him? Geng Huai's martial arts were only inferior to Rong Lin's, with King Xuan's ability, how could he be able to kill him?

"I didn't commit suicide myself...yes...yes..." King Xuan told the story of the dungeon again, "I just heard the report that someone hijacked the dungeon, so I rushed from the mansion to arrest the thief... I didn't know that Geng Huai was doing it too. Inside? What should I do, concubine mother?"

Geng Huai is the candidate for the Geng family to take over the seat of the Second Household. The Geng family has been developing in the direction of Rong Lin, so that one day they can completely replace Rong Lin and become the number one general in southern Xinjiang. The importance of this person is no exaggeration In other words, it is more important than Geng Patriarch who is doing nothing. Now, he died at the hands of King Xuan—

  Concubine Liu Gui felt a beating in her heart, but soon she calmed down: "Forget it, we're all dead, there's no point in worrying, anyway, we've already broken face with the Geng family, and we're not missing a life."

   It seems... so, but why, he always has the illusion that he is getting deeper and deeper? It seems that there is a pair of ruthless hands manipulating everything behind the scenes.

   Concubine Liu Gui said: "Before you shot him, did you see his face clearly?"

"No, I found out it was him only after I killed him." If he knew it was Geng Huai, he would not have dared to do so. Even though he has confronted the Geng family, His Majesty is behind the interrogation of Geng Patriarch, and His Majesty wants to sound the alarm for the Geng family. It's enough to make fun of Patriarch Geng, but he didn't tell him to kill Geng Huai.

   Concubine Liu Gui said lightly: "That's enough, you report to Your Majesty what happened tonight verbatim."

   "What happened tonight..." King Xuan paused, "Actually... there is one more thing."

   "What's the matter?" Concubine Liu Gui asked.

   "Princess Yinjun and the commander-in-chief have been here."

"them?"

"Yes, I was interrogating Patriarch Geng. They came to the dungeon and said they would help me pry Patriarch Geng's mouth open, and told me to go back home to rest. I was indeed tired, so I went back, thinking that the commander-in-chief is here. Nothing will happen, I didn't expect something to happen." King Xuan said with difficulty.

   Concubine Liu Gui took a weak breath: "When did they leave?"

   "About midnight."

   "Where were they when Geng Huai hijacked the dungeon?"

   "They left, and Geng Huai came to kidnap them. According to the jailer who reported the letter, they left at midnight (11 o'clock in the evening), and Geng Huai didn't come until midnight (early morning)."

   "After such a long interval, it is reasonable to say that there is nothing wrong... What about the other jailers? What do they say?" Concubine Liu Gui felt that things were weird.

"The other guards were all drugged by Xiao Liu'er! Speaking of this, I'm going to get angry! Concubine mother, Xiao Liu'er is actually a traitor of the Geng family! He was the one who tipped off the Geng family! If Xiao Jiu was not in the toilet, I’m afraid no one will report to me if I didn’t drink the wine with the medicine!”

   In this way, things are much easier to understand.

Ma Ningyue and Rong Lin tortured Patriarch Geng in the prison until he was about to pry the Patriarch Geng off and was about to confess. Seeing that the situation was not right, Xiao Liuer quickly sent a message to the Geng family. The Geng family sent Geng Huai to rob the prison. Something happened. Maybe it can still be blamed on Ma Ningyue and Rong Lin—

   "Concubine Mu, do you think Ma Ningyue and Rong Lin tricked her into coming here?" King Xuan suddenly caught a certain point.
