Chapter 14: Be Quick
Zhao Xu saw that there was blood on Chen Pi's chest, and said softly: "Get up, people can't be resurrected after death, you have this heart, and she will miss you if she knows it underground." ”
Chen Pi listened, tears couldn't help but flow, wiped his sleeves vigorously, stood up and said, "Yes." She will definitely thank the official family too! ”
Zhao Xu nodded slightly, still thinking about the scene in Cining Hall just now.
Chu Yu was careful, and seeing that Zhao Xu had been frowning, he said, "Official, that Wang Deng is dead, is there any trouble?" ”
Chu You knew that Wang Deng was not the murderer, and he could guess Zhao Xu's intentions, but he didn't understand why Zhao Xu's face was still calm when the plan went so smoothly?
Zhao Xu glanced at him, there were no outsiders here, so he said: "Grandmother's reaction just now was too calm, Wang Deng didn't even give a chance to defend himself." Either my grandmother will know what I think before she knows what I think, or ...... It's that my grandmother already knows who the person who hurt me is, at least she has a clear direction. ”
Chu You's heart was terrified, and then he remembered that Empress Dowager Gao's reaction just now was really wrong, her expression changed, and she said: "Official, after all, Niangniang has been in the palace for decades, and big and small things can't escape the eyes of her old man, so it's not strange to really find out something." ”
Chen Pi calmed down a little, and said with some uneasiness: "The official family, Niangniang, will it ......?"
Zhao Xu shook his head decisively and said, "Don't guess, it's not grandmother." ”
The reason why Zhao Xu dared to arrest Wang Deng and dare to bring Wang Deng to the Empress Dowager Gao was actually determined in his heart that it was not the Empress Dowager Gao who wanted to harm him.
First, this incident happened too roughly, there were too many flaws, how could it be so hasty to kill an emperor? In the end, he was rescued! This is not at all a thing done by a person who has been in charge of the Great Song Dynasty for many years and has been in charge of the palace for many years.
Second, if Zhao Xu really died, it would be no good for the Empress Dowager Gao, not to mention that the murder of an emperor would inevitably be earth-shattering, and the inheritance of the throne would not be so simple, and the legitimacy of the Empress Dowager Gao to continue to listen to the government would be questioned.
Third, Zhao Xu knows history, Zhao Xu in history lived longer than Empress Dowager Gao, if it was really Empress Dowager Gao who wanted to harm him, he would definitely not survive.
Chen Pi and Chu You glanced at each other, unable to guess why Zhao Xu was so sure.
Zhao Xu continued to deliberate in his heart, and suddenly he wanted to catch something, squinted his eyes, and said to himself: "From the Qingshou Hall to the Huangyi Palace, such a long road, so many doors, really no one has seen me?" ”
Chen Pi said: "Father-in-law Zhou said that no one really saw it. When the official family fell into the well, a team of palace maids happened to pass by, and they rushed over when they heard the shouts of the official family and saved the official family. ”
Zhao Xu looked up at the dark outside, and said to himself with a slight beating in his eyes: "If you can hide me and not attract the attention of others, it must not be one or two...... It seems that it is necessary to meet Gao Gongji. ”
Chu You said: "Why don't the officials check the doors, if they hide the officials, the number will not be small, and they will definitely be able to find clues." ”
Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "If you can find out, Zhou He will definitely have the evidence." Chen Pi, you keep an eye on Gao Gongji, find a time, I want to see him, and you can't let outsiders know. ”
Chen Pi had just taken revenge, and he was full of gratitude to Zhao Xu, his expression was solemn, and he said: "Don't worry, the villain will find a way tomorrow." ”
Zhao Xu nodded, no matter what, the Empress Dowager Gao was completely excluded, and he didn't have to be so nervous, he unloaded the big stone in his heart, stood up and looked at the two of them and said, "It's okay, let's go and rest." ”
Chen Pi's heart was agitated and unsettled, and he raised his hand and said, "Yes, the villain is retiring." ”
Chu You didn't expect to participate in such a big event, and almost entered the Hades Palace, and raised his hand calmly and said, "Yes, the villain retires." ”
Zhao Xu watched the two of them leave, looked up at the bright moonlight, and said to himself: "Gao Gongji must have seen something that day, otherwise he wouldn't have avoided and dared not come out." Even he is hiding, who will be the person behind this scene? ”
Gao Gongji is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Gao, and the Empress Dowager Gao is the actual controller of the Great Song Dynasty, who else can Gao Gongji be afraid of?
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu became more and more eager to power. This kind of life and death manipulation in the hands of others, completely involuntary feeling is really unpleasant to him!
……
Early the next morning, the news that 'Wang Deng plotted to assassinate the official's family and had been killed with a cane' was quietly circulating in the palace.
It also includes Zhao Xu's visit to Cining Hall last night, plus the plot of how the Empress Dowager Gao was angry.
Zhao Xu sat in the middle of the house eating, and Chen Pi stood behind him.
"Official, Father-in-law Zhou has done a very thorough job, there are no flaws, I believe the murderer will believe it." Chen Pi said in a low voice.
Zhao Xu tore the steamed buns, ate them one bite at a time, and said, "We don't want to do anything, just stare at it." ”
Tangerine peel has a refreshing feeling of rebirth, less immature and anxious in the past, and more calm, and said, "Yes." The villain has let everyone hibern, and there is no major matter not to contact. ”
Zhao Xu took a sip of soup and said, "Chu Yu and they don't move, I want to see Gao Gongji, be fast." ”
Last night's events have always been in Zhao Xu's mind, Empress Dowager Gao is too calm, maybe she has mastered something, but she is just waiting for the opportunity.
This case cannot be solved by Mrs. Gao, otherwise he, the emperor, will be further marginalized. He needs to solve this case first to show his presence and ability to Empress Dowager Gao, the government and the opposition!
Chen Pi didn't ask anything else, bowed down and said: "Yes, the villain will send a message to the outside of the palace for people to watch, and Gao Gongji will send the message back as soon as he leaves the house." ”
Zhao Xu snorted, he couldn't blatantly go to the door of Gao Gongji, the meeting must be secret, hide from everyone, including the Empress Dowager Gao, and also the murderer!
Chen Pi left, Zhao Xu was eating, looked out the door, and suddenly said, "It's cold, I actually miss that little bastard......"
After eating, Zhao Xu went to the study to read as usual, and when it was almost lunch, he didn't see the little bastard coming, Zhao Xu was a little curious, went out, beckoned Chu You, and asked, "Why didn't the eleventh brother come today?" ”
Chu You thought it was something else, and when he heard this, he relaxed and said, "Back to the official's house, Bachelor Su and the others are going to take the school exam today, and His Royal Highness Eleventh probably has no time to play." ”
Zhao Xu sighed and said with a smile: "No wonder." Regardless of him, how many games shall we play? ”
Chu You didn't expect the official family to make such a big move last night, and he could still have fun as usual today, but he didn't dare to refuse, and said, "Yes, please be merciful to the official family." ”
Zhao Xu smiled and walked over.
Chu You divided the team and played against each other.
Zhao Xu didn't sweep like last time, controlling the rhythm, winning more and losing less, but it aroused a lot of enthusiasm from Chu You and others.
In front of the Funing Palace, you come and go, and the juju is not exciting.
Some palace maids and internal supervisors came to watch, and even those guards sent by the Empress Dowager Gao stood on the side, gearing up and eager to try.
And as the news of 'Wang Deng was executed' spread in the palace, I don't know how many people breathed a sigh of relief, the people who had been arrested before in the palace were released back one after another, and the strict access control was withdrawn one after another, and the palace seemed to be rapidly returning to normal.
