The rain is still falling, constantly washing this West Garden. Even the golden palaces were full of dirt, and black streams poured out from the corners.

The Longevity Palace, which was not disturbed by the torrential rain, was filled with a strong sandalwood fragrance.

Jiajing, who was wearing a blue robe, leaned on the soft collapse, an unhealthy pale appeared on his face, but his eyes were full of anger, and there were several letters lying quietly on the desk.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter found from the home of Xiao Jinan, the head of the Ministry of Works, and there is evidence of his fornication with Liu Quan, the leader of the White Lotus Sect. According to his accomplices, this time they actually wanted to murder the emperor! Xu Jie, who was wearing a robe of the grasshopper, stood in front of the hall and reported in pain.

When the news of Wu Shan's poisoning came, Xu Jie was not idle, and immediately investigated this vicious matter.

Since there are only a few people who handle the pill, this matter is easy to verify clearly, and Xiao Jinan, the director of the Ministry of Works, who was the first to discover the 100-year-old pill, has undoubtedly become the first suspect.

It was following this clue that the Criminal Department quickly found out the body of Xiao Jinan, the director of the Ministry of Industry, and then found out the cause and effect of Wu Shan's poisoning clearly.

Jiajing knew that the White Lotus Sect had been eyeing him all the time, and Liu Quan, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, had colluded with the Mongols, but he asked lightly: "What about people?" ”

"When he returned to the emperor and went to the criminal department, Xiao Jinan learned that the emperor was safe and sound, and committed suicide by drinking poison in grief and anger on the spot! However, in his room, we found a lot of evidence, not only proving that he was arranged by Bai Lian in the court, but also found some of Bai Lian's comrades! Fortunately, the emperor has a heavenly appearance, so he failed to let the tricks of these thieves succeed! Xu Jie responded honestly.

Jiajing's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "So...... Is Centennial Pill fake? ”

"No, the Centennial Pill is real, it was he who took the opportunity to poison the three Centennial Pills!" Xu Jie responded seriously, and then said with luck and pity on his face: "Fortunately, Wu Ge Lao ate the poison in it, otherwise the old man ...... The old minister is really in pain! ”

In the end, his tears poured out uncontrollably, as if he was afraid that Jiajing would suddenly die.

The matter has already come to light, Xiao Jinan skillfully took advantage of the opportunity to survey Zichen Palace, and smeared poison on the hundred-year-old pill he found, so as to want to put Jiajing to death.

I have to admit that if someone really dares to do such a thing with the intention of assassinating the emperor, then looking at today, there is only the White Lotus Sect.

Huang Jin, who was standing next to the red lacquer pillar, listened to Xu Jie's words, but glanced at Jiajing curiously. Although this thing sounds reasonable and reasonable, if you really want to think about it, it is too much of a coincidence.

Jiajing looked up at Xu Jie for a long time, and finally gently exhaled a breath of turbidity and said: "This time I hurt Wu Ge Lao, I don't know what happened to Wu Ge Lao now?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has called the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital for treatment, but the situation is not optimistic. Wu Ge Lao insisted on going home, and the old minister was not easy to stop, so he had already sent Wu Ge Lao back to his house! Xu Jie explained.

"It's really nonsense, his top priority is to receive detoxification treatment from the imperial doctor!" Jiajing said very unhappily, and then waved his hand and said: "Go, send the imperial doctor of Tai Hospital to come, and be sure to help Wu Ge Lao get through this difficulty!" ”

Huang Jin nodded lightly, and called a clever little eunuch and asked him to pass this holy decree to the Tai Hospital.

"Emperor Qiqi, the slave just got the news that Wu Ge is old at home!" Chen Hong hurriedly walked in from outside the palace and reported to Jiajing.

He's dead?

Huang Jingang explained the matter, but when he heard this, he looked at Chen Hong in great surprise.

When Jiajing heard the news of Wu Shan's death, his whole face looked uncertain, and finally turned into a sigh and said: "Yue Jing is a loyal minister!" ”

The sudden loss of a living life made him feel like he was lost.

"It is not our wish that Wu Ge Lao was killed, but he can block this catastrophe for the emperor, and he can also smile at Jiuquan, please mourn the emperor!" Xu Jie was relieved and immediately comforted.

"This, don't bring this!"

Huang Jin listened to Xu Jie's words, his eyes looked at Xu Jie's complicated eyes, and he suddenly found that Xu Jie's person was indeed very unkind.

Jiajing didn't feel too sad, and nodded lightly and said: "Xu Aiqing, you draft it, give it a good burial, and give his son a good funeral!" ”

"Obey orders!" Xu Jie was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately bowed his hand and said.

At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, Lin Shangshu and a group of officials are asking to see you outside the palace gate!" ”

"His father-in-law is dead, what are you doing here?" Jiajing's brows furrowed slightly, and his face looked displeased.

"Your Majesty, the minister ordered the poisoning of Wu Ge Lao in the morning, and declared that Wu Ge Lao had a sudden evil disease, and asked the emperor to punish him!" Xu Jie gritted his teeth, but took the initiative to come forward and confess.

Hey?

Chen Hong glanced at Xu Jie suspiciously, even he, a person who didn't understand medical science, could see that Wu Shan was poisoned, why did this Shoufu be so upside down.

Jiajing's brows furrowed slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "Why do you want to ...... Okay, so be it! Wu Ge Lao suddenly fell ill, gave the young master, and his son was promoted to Jinyi and Wei. ”

"Obey orders!" Xu Jie's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately bowed his hand.

It is precisely in this way that the conclusion about Wu Shan's death has been reached, that is, he died violently due to a sudden vicious disease.

Huang Jin's brows furrowed slightly, still not understanding why Xu Jie would be so upside down, let alone why the emperor would choose to agree to this statement.

The rain was turning lighter, and it was quietly pouring over the city, and there was a coolness in the air.

Purple Light Pavilion, an hour passed in a blink of an eye.

"Wu Shan is dead!"

Just as Hu Song and the others were about to hold a court push, they did not wait for Lin Haoran, but got this shocking news, and the officials present were also shocked.

Yang Bo already had a bad premonition in his heart, and he was also mentally prepared to stand on the wrong team, but when he heard the news, he looked at Yan Ne, Li Chunfang and Wu Song in surprise.

I never thought that Xu Dang's side would use such despicable means.

When Yan Ne, Li Chunfang and Wu Song heard the news, their brows furrowed slightly, but they gave people a feeling that they didn't know in advance.

With the arrival of this news, those officials who were originally neutral also quietly had an orientation, but Guanglu Temple Qing Jiang Zhi and other officials surrounded the three bigwigs.

But no matter what the truth is, now that Wu Shan has passed away, the battle between Xu Jie and Wu Shan no longer exists, and Xu Jie is undoubtedly the winner who has the last laugh.
