Chapter 166: Found a Way
Song Bibai took the door back to the house and looked at Su Cimo's quiet expression, Song Bibai said: "There is nothing to be done now, since you have also guessed that someone will harm you, then you should be more careful, lest they catch the handle." ”
When Song Bibai said this, her eyes were full of worry and she looked at Su Cimo.
Su Cimo also felt that what he said made sense, what could he do now? There is hardly much else to do but be more cautious.
Su Cimo said a few more words to Song Bibai, then left the Song Mansion and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
On this day, the court continued to hold a tribute conference, and the emperor had to entertain VIPs for several consecutive days, while Su Cimo took a leave of absence to look for and investigate some things at home about what the crown prince and the seventh prince did to the emperor, and she still didn't find a clue.
Suddenly, she thought clearly, and her own investigation of the evidence that they framed the emperor did not mean anything. Not only could he not explain anything, but he might even anger the Seventh Prince and the Crown Prince because of this, thus incurring the disaster of killing himself, and soon, Su Cimo immediately thought of other methods.
Now the crown prince and the seventh prince are vying for imperial power, so in this case, there will be an injury to the two of them, and they can't do bad things and not do it, otherwise Tuoba Heng will not be saved.
Now the eyes of the two of them are on Tuoba Heng and his 100,000 elite soldiers, so everyone sees him like this, what she has to do is to really involve her eyes on these two main masters who are fighting openly and secretly, so as to get rid of the grievances suffered by Tuoba Heng.
Thinking of this, Su Cimo felt that he had confidence again, as long as he found out what the prince and the seventh prince had done to each other, they could make the other party immediately turn against each other, but now Su Cimo is more inclined to help the prince find out what the seven princes have done that is not good for the prince.
Because Tuoba Heng's imprisonment was completely caused by the prince, it is obvious that the prince has the majority of this matter.
Thinking of this, Su Cimo asked his personal maid to go to the Three Princes' Mansion and called Chen Feng over.
Chen Feng was very careful and confirmed that he found an uninhabited alley and climbed over the wall to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, but no one knew that he was actually a guest invited into the Mansion by Prime Minister Su Cimo.
As soon as Chen Feng walked into Su Cimo's study, he hurriedly took off his hood, then put down the mask on his face and glanced at Su Cimo and said, "Prime Minister, I heard that you are looking for me!?" ”
Su Cimo had already asked someone to guard her outside the door to see if there were any suspicious people around the Prime Minister's Mansion and her study, so she could speak boldly with confidence.
"Yes, I came to you because I had something important to do!" Su Cimo frowned slightly and said nervously.
As soon as Chen Feng saw Su Cimo's eyes, he knew that Su Cimo was serious, so he immediately asked, "My lord, what's the matter?" Please say that you don't have to be so polite with the small ones. ”
Su Cimo looked at Chen Feng's smile and knew that he was like the third prince Tuoba Heng, and he had a hearty energy, so she said: "That's the case, I know that your master has secretly investigated a lot of things about the crown prince and the seventh prince, so if you want to help me rescue Tuoba Heng this time, you must help me do something." Even if your master knew about it, he wouldn't agree to it, but it could save his life. ”
Su Cimo said at a faster pace, Chen Feng thought about Su Cimo's words and couldn't help frowning, and then said, "Prime Minister Su, what to say, you can say it." In order to save the master, I can do anything. ”
When Su Cimo heard his words, he was relieved, and then said: "I want you to find out about the Seventh Prince's disloyalty to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the framing of him, the sooner the better, I want to exchange Tuoba Heng's life with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with one thing." ”
Su Cimo said in a clear voice, and there was no trace of his daughter's family in that tone.
Chen Feng was still stunned for a moment when he heard this, he sighed in his heart that the people that the master fancied were really smart, and she even guessed the secret that only Tuoba Heng's guards could approach, so she found herself to cooperate with him.
Chen Feng thought about it for a while, thinking that if he told Tuoba Heng about this, he would indeed refuse, but now it is the most important thing to save Tuoba Heng's life.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll send someone to pass you a secret book tonight." Chen Feng agreed neatly.
Su Cimo nodded happily.
In the evening, the news finally came, and the little servant in the house said that it was sent by an official messenger, so that even if everyone thought about it, they couldn't imagine that this was a secret letter.
Su Cimo opened the book and looked at it carefully, only to see that the name of a poison was written on it, which was a chronic poison, and the Seven Princes often used this poison when serving tea to the prince, or a few times directly ordered someone to put it in his tea during the palace banquet.
Regular consumption of this poison will cause internal organs to fail and die of overwork, and there is no sign of poison at all.
After reading this, Su Cimo couldn't help but snort a few times, saying that this Seventh Prince was vicious, but he didn't expect him to be such a yin person, and even the poison was so almost perfect that people couldn't start.
But Su Cimo was still ready to use this blockbuster news as a condition for exchanging Tuoba Heng's life, and exchanged it with the prince.
The next day, when he went to the court early in the morning, the emperor was very concerned about Su Cimo.
"Prime Minister Su, I wonder if you were okay yesterday?" The emperor's sudden words broke the silence in the hall, and the court was suddenly lively.
"Huh? Back to the emperor, everything is fine with the ministers. Su Cimo asked for a moment, but still replied according to the courtesy.
"I've heard that Afanguo has a lot to do with you, but now that he's dead, don't you have any ideas?" The emperor looked at Su Cimo with a cautious expression.
Su Cimo's face turned slightly red, and then he explained: "I don't realize it, if a good friend dies, people who are friends must feel uncomfortable." Besides, the envoy of the Afan Kingdom had only just become acquainted with the minister, and our relationship had not yet reached the point of mutual complaint, so the minister could not be sad. ”
Su Cimo's answer to this sentence was very good, and many ministers nodded appreciatively at the moment, she came to clear herself of the rumors that she had a close relationship with Si Xiao, and the second also showed that she and he were just ordinary friends who were not so concerned about his affairs, and indirectly showed that she had no intention of causing harm. It seems that he is very smart.
The Seventh Prince was different from everyone's nodding, but raised his eyebrows very displeased and looked at Su Cimo with a not very good look.
The emperor listened to his answer and nodded, and then looked at the people of Afanguo who were already standing in the audience.
"I'm sorry, Minister, that our guards couldn't find out who did it, but rest assured, I'll give you some of the gifts as a consolation." The emperor couldn't help but look at the few people from the country who were standing in the audience.
Su Cimo was also nervous for a moment in his heart, he was really afraid that the emperor would be like last time, because of the other party's tongue problem, all the sins were put on his head.
Fortunately, this time, the emperor did not add crimes to people so casually, after all, it is a major crime of murder, and if the judgment is wrong, it will be a mark for a lifetime.
Although the people of Afan were not convinced, they also had to accept the emperor's interrogation and turned around and left the main hall.
"Report!" A soldier in armor and red trousers ran in, shouting as he ran, and in general when there was a war, these soldiers would report an urgent matter to the emperor.
The soldier knelt in front of the hall, and the emperor immediately wrinkled his eyes and looked bad.
"What the hell is going on?" The emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, a group of robbers have appeared outside the city! successively robbed several waves of merchants and official silver taels. The guard said loudly on his knees, holding salutes in both hands.
The emperor patted the shocked wood angrily, and then looked at the courtiers in the audience.
"You say, who is going to take down these robbers for me this time!?" The emperor is determined to win, but I just heard that someone was killed in the imperial city overnight, and he still looked so miserable, which made people can't help but be afraid.
Suddenly, the audience became silent.
Now if someone says that they are willing to investigate, if there is evidence, it is fine, if they can't say where the evidence is, they can't find the traces of those robbers, and finally on the grounds that they can't be caught, but it's very suspicious.
As soon as it came, there was an undercurrent surging in this imperial city, and there were several waves of different forces fighting day and night, if one accidentally offended one of the unknown forces, then let alone the official, he might not even be able to save his life.
Therefore, as soon as the emperor asked who would investigate, everyone shut up and stopped talking about it.
The emperor was slightly angry, but he only sighed, and did not continue to embarrass these courtiers, maybe they just felt that they were under pressure to do not do well, so they did not dare to agree.
The emperor could only comfort himself like this.
After the morning court, the afternoon is also the tribute meeting to be held in the palace.
The emperor has issued an edict, saying that the third prince Tuoba Heng was jealous and deliberately framed the prince in distress, almost lost his life, and deserved to be punished for the crime.
The day of the execution was set at noon three days later, because of the tribute conference held in the palace in the past few days, so the emperor did not immediately make the matter public, that is, to avoid being known by people from other countries and gossiping about the emperor in the country.
Su Cimo was slightly anxious, three days, there were only three days left, and Tuoba Heng was going to die.
He immediately walked home, and if he wanted to find the antidote to this chronic poison, he had to ask Song Bibai.
Because Song Bibai always knew something he didn't know, Su Cimo was very relieved to him.
When he came to the Song Mansion, Su Cimo went directly to find Song Bibai.
As soon as Song Bibai saw Su Cimo coming, he was surprised.
"Cimo, why do you have time to come to me, shouldn't this be the emperor's tribute conference?" Song Bibai asked.
