Chapter 780 I Won’t Save You This Time (23)
The topic of how to deal with Liang Song was discussed in full swing.
Because everyone participated, it was like signing a pledge of allegiance, everyone expressed their opinions, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Perhaps everyone was too excited, so no one noticed that during the hour they were discussing, not even a servant showed up to serve tea.
No one even asked!
This situation is very abnormal in the royal villa.
A person who was already thirsty finally couldn't help it and shouted to the outside of the room: "Where are the people! I told you to stay away, and I didn't even tell you to not serve you tea, are you dead?"
In fact, this guess is half right.
Although those who were responsible for serving tea were not dead, they had been tied up, with cloth strips stuffed in their mouths, and were pinned in the yard, unable to move.
As long as the people in the room took a quick look outside, they would be able to notice these abnormalities.
Unfortunately, they were so busy criticizing Liang Song that no one noticed the movement outside the door.
Seeing no one respond, the person who called out stamped his feet in anger and turned to complain to the people around him: "It is said that the servants in the royal courtyard are the ones who know how to serve people best.
Now it seems that he can't even tell the time when serving tea. I think the manager here should be replaced."
Although he said this, he was actually thinking that it would be best to replace them with his own people. At least this would allow him to make a lot of money into his pocket every year.
This is the royal family today. On the one hand, they want to change the emperor, while on the other hand, they want to take advantage of the current one. They are selfish and stupid.
The person next to him glared at him and lowered his voice and said, "Are you stupid? Can these people hear our conversation? What if they tell on us? Will you die of thirst if you drink less tea?"
The man didn't take it seriously and waved his hand: "It's okay, Luocheng is far away from Beijing! Can they make it? Besides, these people know best what can be said and what cannot be said, otherwise Jinghao would not have chosen this place."
Liang Jinghao was the older brother of the boy who had just been clamoring to appreciate the flowers and paint.
They are cousins of Liang Song, and his father is Liang Song's uncle. He was granted the title of Duke of Luo by the previous emperor many years ago.
At this moment, Liang Jinghao was sitting aside, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something, but he said nothing, just listening to this man talking there.
"Hehe! Using Liang Song's villa, ordering his people around, and discussing ways to deal with him." The man couldn't help but sneer, "I feel bad for Liang Song just thinking about it."
Liang Jingyang, who was drawing nearby, moved his ears and the pen in his hand paused for a moment, as if he had heard the conversation between the two.
But he didn't stop for too long. He just frowned slightly and then continued painting.
A complicated look flashed in his eyes, as if he was weighing something.
The atmosphere in the room was still lively, and everyone was still immersed in the discussion. No one noticed the strangeness of Liang Jingyang and his brother, and no one noticed the tied servants outside the door.
This seemingly lively discussion was actually fraught with danger.
There were discussions in the room one after another, with everyone talking at the same time. At this moment, they seemed to have seen the miserable appearance of Liang Song becoming a prisoner.
Many of the suggestions they made were still very "constructive".
For example, some people suggested that they could secretly contact the ministers who had opinions about Liang Song. After all, since he became emperor, he has repeatedly issued new policies, which has made many old-school ministers dissatisfied, but they dare not say much because of his ruthless methods.
"They have been frightened by Liang Song, so I don't think they will be of any use." Liang Jinghao seemed to be objecting, but in fact he was trying to "save" these people.
But they won’t appreciate it and will think that Liang Jinghao is a coward.
"Jinghao, don't say these things." Liang Jinglan said disdainfully, "If we were afraid of Liang Song, we wouldn't be talking about these things here today. If you don't want to say them, just say less!"
"Brother! Come and see how my painting is?" Liang Jingyang said to his brother with a smile.
The tone seemed a bit coquettish, but it contained a warning.
Liang Jinghao's heart choked, and he didn't say anything more - he knew his brother well, he looked adorable on the surface, but in fact he was very cruel and ruthless. He had already sworn allegiance to Liang Song, but he was the other party's sharp blade buried in Luocheng.
Later, some people suggested spreading rumors among the people, and some even advocated launching a mutiny, attacking the palace and killing Liang Song.
Everyone is very confident, as if they are sure to win.
"Ha!" Liang Jingyang sneered. When those people looked over, he said, "I just think your suggestions are all good, and I'm happy for you."
Liang Jinghao also spoke up to smooth things over: "Yes! My brother is young and doesn't know the etiquette, please don't blame me!"
They then continued their discussion.
The man who had just been clamoring for tea found that no one had served him tea after he had called a few times. He was about to get up and go outside to take a look, but Liang Jinghao calmed him down: "You guys talk about yourselves, I'll go take a look and ask someone to prepare some food."
Everyone thought this made sense and didn't say anything more.
As soon as Liang Jinghao went out, he saw Fu Shun standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, wearing eunuch clothes.
In order not to alert the enemy, he just nodded slightly without making any sound.
Fushun also smiled, and then made a gesture of action.
A group of men in black quickly surrounded all the exits of the room - several windows that could be used for escape were already surrounded by people.
The leader of the men in black kicked open the door of the room.
When the people in the house heard the noise, they turned around and saw that the door had been surrounded by a group of men in black, each of them holding a sharp blade and with a cold look in their eyes.
Those people stared at the scene in front of them with their mouths wide open. The man who had just complained about the tea asked tremblingly, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Royal Courtyard! Are you all tired of living?"
The man in black sneered, "Do you think you are worthy of mentioning the word 'royal'? I advise you not to resist, or I will kill you on the spot!"
Hearing the word "kill", many people in the house suddenly panicked. Some people approached the window and tried to jump out to escape, but just as they opened the window, they were stabbed in the neck by the men in black who had been waiting outside.
Two people died in an instant.
After seeing the blood, they became even more frightened and dared not go near the window again.
At this moment, a sharp-eyed person saw Liang Jinghao standing in the yard with the leaders of those "bad guys", and instantly realized that he might have been betrayed.
Feeling indignant, he saw Liang Jingyang still painting in the room.
Without saying a word, he drew out the dagger he carried with him and was about to hold the other person hostage in an attempt to escape!
