Chapter 196: The Identity of the Eight-Faced Buddha
In the basement of a gambling house, the white-haired eight-faced Buddha is sitting upright on a pear blossom wood Taishi chair.
A spy knelt in front of him and said without saying anything: "Back to the master, the spy we planted in Ouyang Mansion, the housekeeper's good work has been exposed, but fortunately, he has just joined us, so he doesn't know anything about our situation." ”
The eight-faced Buddha frowned slightly, and he pondered for a while before he spoke: "I didn't expect him to be useless so quickly, alas, what a waste of time!" ”
The spy didn't speak, but the cold sweat was already dripping from his forehead. He knew that every task given to them by the Erawan Buddha was done by asking them to pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers.
The slightest mistake would have put their lives at risk.
The eight-faced Buddha continued to ask him: "You have been monitoring the scene in Ouyang Mansion, are Ouyang Deyuan and Rou Baozi dead?" ”
This question is what he is most concerned about, as for the good work that just died, hmph, even if they don't kill him, after the matter is completed, the eight-faced Buddha will not leave him alive.
People die for money, birds die for food, this is his doomed end.
The spy thought for a moment and replied seriously: "It seems that they have been poisoned by Hedinghong, and they have been unconscious, and in my opinion, they will not last a few days." ”
As soon as he heard this, the heart of the eight-faced Buddha finally relaxed.
"Very well, as long as we get rid of these two thorns in the eye, then our plan is equivalent to half the success." The eight-faced Buddha said with a rare smile.
"Go back and continue to monitor, and you must not leave without my order." He gave the order. The spy immediately got up and left.
In the past few days, in addition to Yin Rui in the Prince's Mansion, there is another person who is sitting still. Tea and rice don't think about it, that is the lonely night breeze of Xiaoyao Palace.
He already knew that the meat bun was poisoned by the Five Poisonous Lady. But he didn't dare to make a noise, for fear that his precious son would know, and he would have to turn the Xiaoyao Palace upside down.
He sat in the Xiaoyao Palace every day and asked his subordinates to inquire about the news, but day after day, there was no other news except to tell him that the meat bun was still sick in bed.
It was only today that he received a happy piece of good news.
That is, the poison on the meat bun has been cured by the poison saint.
It's not that the spies told him, but that he really couldn't wait any longer, so he went to Ouyang Mansion to check it out in person.
Of course, he was also a gentleman on the beam, and secretly leaned on the roof to watch it. Because as long as he appears, the red lotus will be shouting, and he will fight to the death.
Dugu Yefeng has not forgotten the past when he entered the Nameless Pavilion alone and kidnapped the meat buns twice.
Knowing that the meat bun was fine, he could finally go back and sleep peacefully.
It seems that Yin Rui of the Prince's Mansion doesn't know about this yet, but Dugu Yefeng said that he doesn't have the kindness to tell him.
Yin Rui was in his room, like an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't sit still.
But there are always some people. Even this time has to come and disturb him.
Gonggong Chen stood at the door with a look of embarrassment, and whispered, "Prince, someone is here in the palace." ”
Gonggong Chen knew that the prince was in a very bad mood these days, and anyone who approached would be scolded back by him.
But someone came to the palace in my heart. I heard that the matter was still very urgent, so he had to inform the prince carefully.
Yin Rui's brows tightened, and he replied angrily, "No." Get out of here! ”
Gonggong Chen did not dare to leave, but fell to his knees. said pitifully: "Prince, he is the father-in-law in Concubine Qi's palace." He said that Concubine Qi had an accident. ”
As soon as Yin Rui heard that it was Concubine Qi Niangniang, who had helped him repeatedly, his head suddenly sobered up.
He stood up, straightened his clothes and said, "I know, I'll follow him into the palace immediately." ”
Gonggong Chen stood up happily and immediately went to reply, it was rare to see the prince cheer up, how could he not be happy.
Yin Rui entered the palace and was startled when he saw Concubine Qi.
In the past, Concubine Qi was dressed noble and decent, her spirits were uplifted, her appearance was beautiful, and she carried a powerful aura wherever she went.
How did you completely change today?
Her clothes were torn now, her hair was disheveled, there was no fat powder on her face, and she had been scratched with a few bloody marks.
What the hell is going on?
Yin Rui took a step forward and said, "Concubine Qi, what's wrong with you?" ”
Before Concubine Qi could speak, the favored little eunuch beside her cried to Yin Rui: "Prince, when Concubine Qi was walking in the imperial garden today, she met a tiger. ”
What the? Isn't that a joke?
How could there be a tiger in the emperor's garden? Aren't tigers all in hunting grounds? This hunting ground is a long way away from the Imperial Garden.
Concubine Qi drank a few sips of Dingjing tea, and then took a breath.
She straightened her clothes and said, "I didn't want you to see me so embarrassed, but the matter is urgent, and I really don't dare to wait any longer." ”
"What about the tiger?" Yin Rui really couldn't figure it out.
Concubine Qi sneered: "Hmph, I said that I ran out of the hunting ground, and it happened to run to the path I usually walk the most." ”
Her sarcastic tone let Yin Rui know that she already knew who wanted to harm herself.
"Since Concubine Fu's death, hasn't all the power in the palace been handed over to you? How can you still ......" Yin Rui said in his words.
Concubine Qi's face turned red, she clenched her fists angrily and said, "Day and night, it's difficult to prevent thieves!" It was a little nobleman under my command who served the emperor for a few more nights, and then began to dream of a concubine, which led to the people outside the palace to do such stupid things. ”
"In that case, why should you be so nervous?" Yin Rui asked puzzled.
Concubine Qi coughed, and the little eunuch beside her immediately left with the maids in the room.
Concubine Qi said reassuringly: "That little slut has been arrested by my people, she shouted that her accomplice is a person called the Eight-Faced Buddha, have you heard of this person?" ”
Yin Rui's body was stunned, and it was an eight-faced Buddha again?
His spies also reported that the Five Poison Lady is also related to this eight-faced Buddha.
It seems that this eight-faced Buddha is really powerful, whether it is inside or outside the palace, his power is everywhere.
Thinking of this, Yin Rui's expression also became nervous.
"Who is this eight-faced Buddha?" He asked Concubine Qi rhetorically.
Concubine Qi pondered for a while and said, "You really don't know about the mysterious disappearance of the Eighth Prince? ”
The Eighth Prince? Yin Rui seemed to have a little impression in his head, but after many years, why would Concubine Qi bring up this past incident?
Yin Rui looked at Concubine Qi suspiciously and asked, "Back then, the Eighth Prince was ordered to go to Shanxi for disaster relief, but a large amount of disaster silver was robbed, and he also disappeared mysteriously. The emperor thought that he was a thief guarded by the eighth prince, and ordered his home to be raided, and all his family members were sold. The matter ...... It's been so many years, what does this have to do with the Erawan Buddha? ”
Concubine Qi lowered her voice and said: "This is still something I knew when I was a girl in my mother's family, I heard that the eighth prince is a fetal vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat when he is born, and he has been very Buddha since he was a child, tell me...... Could he be the current Eight-Faced Buddha? ”
