The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 292 side story (A Guang story)
It's been running for a week.
Sima Dan has given orders for an investigation. He has also banned storytellers from telling the rumor again. If anyone dared to violate it would be considered a crime against the members of the kingdom.
After that there was no longer a storyteller who told me about A Guang, but it did not make the spreaders shut up. Even the rumors are growing far away.
Several ministers urged A Guang to immediately relinquish his position as crown prince. Of course this makes Sima rui angry.
" Give me a reason why I should take off the position of crown prince from Sima Guang? " Sima rui's tone of voice was not high but it was able to exert pressure on anyone who heard it.
The officials who were previously compact to voice the idea were suddenly mute after Sima rui spoke.
" Say! or do I have to appoint one of you to talk? "
Simultaneously they all prayed in their hearts not to be someone appointed by their Emperor.
After a long time no one has advanced. Finally one of the officials ventured forward. After giving his respects, he began to speak.
" Now tell me, what is the reason that I should strip the crown prince of my son, Sima Guang? "
" Answer to His Majesty. The rumors in the capital are out of control. The people demanded that the Empire choose a crown prince who had good morals. Not an adulterer or a rapist. "
" So you think my son is an adulterer and a rapist? Then show me the woman who was A Guang's victim. "
The officer looked confused. He glanced at his fellow officials but they looked down as if raising their hands.
Now he regretted his courage going forward.
No one opened their voice.
" The government pays you a high salary not to come to the palace every day and report minor problems or complain about this and that. Your job is to solve all the problems that undermine national stability. "
" What are these rumors including? If you don't think so, then you won't be here and begging to dethrone A Guang's status. You should be thinking about how to solve it and not just demanding that the crown prince's position be replaced. "
" I don't care. You must provide a solution to this problem by tomorrow at the latest. If you still haven't found it, then don't come hope you receive your salary this month. "
After saying that, Sima rui got up and left the court hall that turned into an uproar in an instant due to the fate of their salary being a guarantee.
" Are you thinking of the right solution to this problem? " Jiang Wu asked his son.
Now Jinfu is a mid-level official and is a young official who has a promising future.
" The rumor is not true. There was also no response from the academy's side, which meant that it was just fake news. After all, I was very sure that the crown prince's morale need not be doubted. "
Jiang Wu who heard his son's opinion couldn't bear to disagree. He also thinks so. So he nodded and said, "You're right. "
But Jiang Wu still did not get an answer from his question. So he asked back. " Then do you have a solution to this problem? "
Jinfu looked at the father and steadfastly replied. " no. "

Elsewhere, somewhere else,
Na Li went to a teahouse, she was about to meet Han dong. He will charge what the low-ranking commander has promised.
" Give me some money. Didn't you promise to give me some more money after I finish what you asked for. " the bill. Na li did not even care even around her many pairs of eyes.
Han dong growled. But he survives with a fake face that hides his hatred.
" This is accept. After this don't see me first. The investigating officers are looking for you. "
" How can they find me? these are all your plans. If I get caught I won't hesitate to say everything. Including your involvement. So better think of a way to keep me from getting caught." Threaten Na li.
He's already thought about it. If he gets caught then he will pull down Han dong along with him.
" That's why I told you not to see me first. Hide for a while. Once everything is safe you can get out. "
" You're not fooling me, are you? "
In the Heart Han dong cursed Na li. In his brain, there was a plan to eliminate him. He didn't want to be this man's milk cow for a lifetime.
Tell me he's cruel. But he is also not stupid to leave a stain. That's why he had to clean it.
" I'm leaving then. "
Na li who saw the departure of Han dong smiled lightly. He knew that if he followed his arrangements he might lose his life and no one would realize that he had been killed. So instead of hiding. It is increasingly visible in public.
Without the two of them knowing, since then there was someone who noticed the two.
Na Li came out of the tea shop. But not long after that came the investigating officer approached him.
" Na li is coming with us, you're under arrest for spreading rumors of the crown prince. " Say one of the investigating officers.
" no. I'm not spreading rumors. I'm just passing on the facts. He lives with my sister. My sister replaced my position as an academy student. And coincidentally his roommate is the crown prince. "
" Please say it during the examination. Now it's better to come with us. "
Because Na Li refused to be taken. The investigators took him by force.
The arrest was made in public. Therefore many people heard Na li's words. In an instant the curious person immediately found out the identity of Na li's younger sister.
It didn't take long until Xu xiang's identity was finally revealed including his other identity as the leader of the trade union siwang.
Han dong from afar saw the incident where Na li was arrested. He was overwhelmed with anxiety. It didn't take long for his name to come out of Na li's mouth. So he had to kill her as soon as possible.
He arranged a plan and decided to kill him tonight.
In the palace, though,
A Guang already got word about Na li's arrest. Based on the spies he sent to follow him for this week he finally got evidence of his conspiracy with Han dong.
A Guang himself was quite surprised upon finding out. He still did not think that Han dong still held a grudge against him.
A eunuch came and asked him to see his father.
" Daddy called me? "
" What about your case? they want you to back off. Don't tell me you don't know what to do? " Sima rui is not alkaline. He immediately said the purpose he called him.
His father never solved his children's problems directly. He will let them finish first.
It might sound cruel. But that's how sima rui teaches. If they complained, then sima rui would only say that it was their fault for being his son.
" I've captured Na li, Xu xiang's brother. He did it at Han dong's instigation. Because there is no evidence of Han dong's involvement. We can't catch him right away unless we have to frame him. "
There was no surprise on his father's face. A Guang suspected that his father had secretly known about it.
Look at her father so kind. He did not even want to bother telling his son who the real culprit was.
" Don't act too clearly. Do it as if what you plan is going well. It would have far more painful effects than trapping him just like that. "
" Good dad. I'll listen to you. "
After A Guang came out, ziyan emerged from behind the partition that was behind sima rui.
" You taught your son to be cunning. " Say to the husband.
Seeing his wife made Sima rui's heart warm. He couldn't bear not to smile.
" I'm just teaching you how to deal with problems. "
Ziyan laughed at her husband's reason for defending himself.
" You are the best. "
