Chapter Seventy-Six: Catching a Turtle in an Urn

Suddenly, the black shadow was holding the hand of the jade bottle and grabbed it, the black shadow widened his eyes in horror, and it was not someone else who grabbed his hand, it was Fu Xuan who was sleeping on the bed. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

There was a "bang" outside the house, the door opened, a large number of guards rushed into the house with knives, the maidservants followed closely behind the candle flame, and a large group of people poured into the bustling room, and at the end of the crowd, Concubine Er and the emperor appeared.

According to the original plan, Fu Xuan only thought that Concubine Er would come to capture the murderer, but Concubine Er said to the emperor that the emperor heard that there was such a good show, so he had to come to join in the fun, and Concubine Er couldn't twist him, so she came with him.

"Come on, fire candle!" The emperor was half angry and half excited, snatched the fire candle from the handmaid beside him, and stepped forward, "I want to tell me to take a good look, which dog thing that doesn't know whether to live or die is going to kill me!"

Without waiting for the emperor to take a closer look, the black shadow at that time was already begging: "The emperor spares his life-the emperor-" and the candle flame has been lit, the room is bright, and the black shadow is unreservedly exposed to everyone's eyes, it is actually the new little eunuch who is serving next to the emperor today!

The emperor was also furious, threw the fire candle in his hand at the little eunuch's face, and scolded: "Dog!

The emperor was angry. Concubine Er hurriedly stepped forward to comfort, "The emperor's dragon body is important, and it is the first time you encounter a serious illness, so don't be angry." ”

"Fortunately, Concubine Er's eyes are smart, and she told me such a plan to catch turtles in the urn, otherwise I will really ruin your reputation as a group of dog minions!"

"It's not that the concubine is smart, it's the son of Fu Xuan who came up with this clever plan to make the murderer appear in his original form. In the final analysis, it is still the emperor who is wise and discerning, and is not deceived by illusions. ”

The emperor was coaxed by Concubine Er, collected his anger, and said, "Fu Xuan, what the hell is going on!"

Fu Xuan grabbed the little eunuch's hand and pushed him straight to the emperor's knee, and the little eunuch fell to the ground in response, trembling with fear on both legs and shoulders.

"Go back to the emperor. Fu Xuan said, "Since the beginning of the whole thing, Fu Xuan faintly felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say it, until Fu Xuan learned that the silk handkerchief of the prince's maid was contaminated with poison near the emperor's seat. If an ordinary person sees the emperor suddenly fainting, just because the emperor is unwell, how can he immediately think of poisoning, unless it is the person who poisoned him, he can make this judgment in a moment. ”

The emperor listened very seriously and kept bowing his head.

Fu Xuan said again: "This petty official's method of poisoning is particularly ingenious, and it should have taken a lot of thought. On the day Fu Xuan volunteered to come to the word competition, the little official took over the four treasures of the study from Fu Xuan's maid, secretly poured oleander juice on the ink belly, and then pretended to open the seal and grind, then unknowingly poisoned in the ink, and this petty official knew that the emperor was fond of words, and he would touch the ink words with his fingers when appreciating the words, so the poison was passed from the ink to the emperor's fingers, and then he cleverly arranged, and then passed on the flower cake of Concubine Er Niangniang to taste, the cake must be grabbed by hand, and the poison was served to the abdomen from the finger, which is why the poison is in Fu Xuan's ink belly, but the poison is only the emperor alone。 And the conditions that contributed to this assassination, the timing of the poisoning, the mastery of the emperor's habits, and the order of passing on the flowers and cakes, these three are indispensable, which is why only the people around the emperor can be poisoned, but the petty official in front of him is even more clever, and he still wants to sneak into the wing room to blame me for the bottle of poison, but he shows his feet. ”

"This good show of 'catching turtles in the urn' is indeed wonderful, tell me what is going on!"

"It was Fu Xuan's courage to make Ji deceive the guards and slip out of the room, and asked someone to ask to see Concubine Er, who released the news in front of the emperor and the little eunuch, luring the little eunuch to sneak into the house with a bottle of hidden poison to frame the blame, and the little eunuch was thoughtful, in order to marry the trouble, he actually fell into the drug in the dinner of Fu Xuan and the maidservant to protect the whole, but unexpectedly, this meal happened to be his ironclad evidence. ”

"The concubine did not intend to deceive the emperor, she just wanted the truth to be revealed, and justice to the innocent, and asked the emperor to forgive her sins. Concubine Er hurriedly knelt down.

"Get up. The emperor smiled and stretched out his hand to help Concubine Er up, "It's not you, I'm still in the dark by this dog!" the emperor said angrily and kicked the little eunuch in front of his knee.

But Fu Xuan thought about it, this little eunuch has a humble status, why did he assassinate the emperor, and the person behind the command had to ask the little eunuch to confide in himself. ”

"The emperor spares his life-" The little eunuch was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly threw himself down and kowtowed, and almost wanted to wet his trouser robe under his crotch, and said, "Little ...... Minister...... Say anything! Please let the emperor be gracious - spare my dog's life - say anything!"

"Who is it?!" the emperor shouted.

"Yes-" The little eunuch official said half a word, but a cold sword stabbed straight through, piercing the throat of the little eunuch, and slashing the unspoken half of the name. The little eunuch instantly froze the description, blood spurted out of his throat, splashed on the four walls, stared at his eyes and fell straight down, the emperor and everyone were also stunned by this sudden sword, but they listened to the person who stabbed the sword on the side: "Old minister Sima Xi, it's too late to save the driver, please ask the emperor to surrender!"

Everyone was caught off guard for a while, still in shock, after all, the people in this mansion still saw a living person in front of them for the first time, so straight and upright and lifeless, and Sima Xi calmly ordered among the people: "What are you still stunned to do, hurry up and carry this dog thing out, don't you want to continue to defile the emperor's dragon eye?"

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly got up, and the emperor came to his senses and became a little angry: "I really want to condemn your sin! He just confessed who was the mastermind behind the scenes, and the emperor's uncle was better to stab him to death with a sword!"

Sima Xi was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The old minister doesn't know, please forgive the emperor!" Please rest assured, since this matter is from the Nanling Palace, the old minister will definitely investigate the identity of this person, even if it is a corpse, the old minister will definitely give the emperor an explanation!"

Chu Meng and Fu Xuan glanced at each other, in the end, Sima Xi escaped, they never thought that he would come back so quickly, and the truth would be revealed only one step away.

"Well, I'll leave it to you. The emperor glanced at the corpse that had been carried away again, and his expression was very disgusted.

Sima Xi listened to the order and went out with a group of guards, the emperor relieved himself, sat down again, and said: "Although I encountered an assassination on this trip, I ended up in danger, not only appreciated the masterpiece, but also learned Fu Xuan's wonderful inference, and also helped me sweep away the disasters around me.

Huan all heard this, but his face was depressed in the crowd, and he didn't say a word.

"The emperor has a good reputation. Fu Xuan said.

"I praised your Mobao before, I already owe you a reward, this time you have solved the case, I expect that those gold and silver are soft, and you are not lacking in Wuyi Lane, this is another problem for me, what is the reward for you?"

"Fu Xuan doesn't lack anything, thank the emperor for remembering, it is Fu Xuan's luck to be appreciated by the emperor, it is already a blessing, and he doesn't need to reward it. ”

Concubine Er was watching from the sidelines, smiling lightly and whispering a few words in the emperor's ear, and the emperor laughed and said, "This reward is wonderful! ”
