Chapter 140: The Death of Wang Wenzhao (I)
Coming out of Wannian County and returning to 'Lanruo Temple' Wu Chen had a question mark on his head, and he couldn't figure out what the things that could speed up the construction of the city could be faster, but seeing Li Chengqian's squinting eyes and distracted, he still gave up the idea of continuing to ask.
"What is Cui Ran doing?" Li Chengqian, who was distracted, suddenly asked.
"I've been at home, without His Royal Highness speaking, and Lao Qian is holding on to power, so the surnamed Cui has nothing to do since he came back, so he hid home and sulked." Wu Chen replied without thinking about it.
"After a while, send him to Zuo Wei, and lock him up with Wang Wenzhao. Reason...... Just use 'detrimental to royal prestige'. Li Chengqian thought about it and said to Wu Chen.
"Understood. I'll do it right away. "Anyway, Wu Chen had already seen that Cui Ran was not pleasing to his eyes, and Li Chengqian's orders were just as he wanted.
"Remember, you only eat for one person." Seeing that Wu Chen turned around to leave, Li Chengqian hurriedly added.
"Huh? Why? Wu Chen asked back with some puzzlement.
"Just do it." Li Chengqian said to Wu Chen.
"Whoa!" Wu Chen, who realized that he had talked a lot, answered and left the 'Lanruo Temple' to do business.
The following days were a little dull, and in addition to asking about the situation of Cui and Wang, Li Chengqian locked himself in the study and plunged into the pile of books.
Wang Wenzhao has lived a life of fine clothes and food since he was a child, where he has suffered the hardship of being imprisoned, and all the food sent in at the beginning was thrown outside by him, and he shouted for revenge.
Two days later, all that was thrown out was food and water.
After four days, the food was eaten so well that the plates were even cleaner than those licked by dogs, and even the work of washing could be omitted.
On the sixth day, Cui Ran was also imprisoned, and the two people who had a grudge in Qi County naturally refused to give in to each other in the face of a one-person meal.
Especially after Wang Wenzhao threatened Cui Ran to kill him after he went out, Cui Ran simply broke the jar and broke it.
Anyway, the prince was also offended, otherwise he would not have been locked up, and now he is threatened by Wang Wenzhao, rather than die in the future, it is better to drag Wang Wenzhao to die here.
So from the moment Cui Ran was imprisoned in the left guard rate, no matter what was sent in the room where the two were held, they would all be kicked over by Cui Ran, and then stepped on a few times.
No matter whether Wang Wenzhao threatened or begged, in short, Cui Ran wanted to drag him to death together.
This continued until noon on the tenth day, when the door to the room was completely opened, and the four big men lifted out the two languishing men.
"Cui Ran, tell this palace, do you want to die or live?" On a rocking chair under the shade of a tree in the courtyard, Li Chengqian sat comfortably and asked, holding a tea bowl in his hand.
"Your Highness, what did Cui do?" "Li Chengqian, if you kill me, you will kill me." Cui Ran and Wang Wenzhao said hoarsely.
"I'll talk about you later, I don't want my mouth to be gagged, just keep it shut now." Glancing at Wang Wenzhao, Li Chengqian said in a deep voice.
Then he turned to Cui Ran, frowned and said, "Now it's Bengong who is asking you, not that you're asking Bengong, ask again, do you want to die or live?" ”
Cui Ran licked his lips with difficulty, and after hesitating for a long time, he lowered his head and said, "The minister wants to live." ”
A smile appeared on Li Chengqian's gloomy face: "Very good." Give him a bowl of water and a bowl of porridge, look at it, don't let him choke to death. Obviously, this was said to Wu Chen behind him.
Watching Cui Ran gobble up everything, Li Chengqian turned his gaze to Wang Wenzhao, who was constantly licking his lips: "As for you...... It's a pity that your servant didn't return. ”
"You, what do you want to do?" Wang Wenzhao's body shook violently, and he no longer had the courage to kill Li Chengqian when he just came out.
"Ten days ago, this palace said that if your servant does not return with the contract after ten days, then today is your time of death." Handing the tea bowl to Wu Chen beside him, Li Chengqian stared at Wang Wenzhao and said.
"You, you can't kill me, I, my grandfather is the head of the Wang family!" Wang Wenzhao's head began to sweat, even if the water and rice had not been eaten for four days, there were still dense beads of sweat coming out of his head.
He could see that Li Chengqian was really ready to kill him now.
Because the current aura on Li Chengqian's body is the same as when his grandfather dealt with the scum in the family, they are all so gloomy.
"You first robbed and killed the envoy of the palace in Qi County, and then took the initiative to attack the palace in the Chang'an Welcome Tower, even if your grandfather is the head of the Wang family, can he keep you?" Li Chengqian asked with squinted eyes.
"You, what the hell do you want to let me go?" Although Wang Wenzhao was afraid, he still worked hard to fight for a chance to survive for himself.
"You see, at this time, you are still using 'you' to refer to the palace, which shows that there is no prince of the country in your eyes, how is it different from rebellion against you?" Li Chengqian said as he straightened up from his chair and looked at Cui Ran: "Give him another bowl of water and a bowl of porridge." ”
"Your Palace, Your Highness, Xiaomin is wrong, Xiaomin admits his mistake......" If it weren't for the two strong men still holding Wang Wenzhao, I'm afraid that he would be kneeling on the ground now.
"No, no, no, you're not wrong, it's your grandfather who is wrong." Li Chengqian stretched out a finger and waved: "You should remember what I said to you in the carriage, right?" ”
"What?" Wang Wenzhao replied stunned.
"You are a pawn that your grandfather used to test my bottom line, and similarly, you are also a pawn that I used to test your grandfather." Li Chengqian was still very tolerant of a dying person, and he took the trouble to repeat his words again.
"You ......"
"I want to see how much power your grandfather will unleash for you when you're dead, it's as simple as that." Without waiting for Wang Wenzhao to ask again, Li Chengqian made his purpose clear.
"You, you're a devil, you're a devil, you don't have to die well." Never thought that he would be so close to death, Wang Wenzhao became a little hysterical, and while cursing Li Chengqian, he finally began to regret his actions.
"Shut it up." Li Chengqian waved his hand at the strong man holding Wang Wenzhao and said lightly.
"Whoa!" In a loud response, regardless of Wang Wenzhao's crying and struggle, the two strong men directly dragged him back to the room where he had just been held.
"Have you eaten enough?" Looking at Cui Ran, who was stacked together and gently wiping his mouth, Li Chengqian asked.
"Full, full." Cui Ran didn't know Li Chengqian's next purpose, and replied with a little stammer.
"Very good, Cui Ran, you should have heard the phrase 'the king worries about the ministers, and the king humiliates the ministers to death', right?" Wang Wenzhao's scolding was still heard in the courtyard, but Li Chengqian didn't hear it, just stared at Cui Ran and said.
"Listen, hear, Your Highness, the ministers ......" Cui Ran faintly felt a bad feeling in his heart.
"It's good to have heard of it." Li Chengqian nodded, and without waiting for Cui Ran to finish speaking, he said to Wu Chen beside him, "Give him a knife." ”
