Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Lotus Pond Road Case Penetrates the Three Cities

A guard walked up to the main hall and knelt under the main hall at this time, the senior doctor Wang Shu was very surprised, pointed to the guard and said, "It's you." Doctor Wang Shu was stunned and hurriedly took a few steps back, the guard looked at Doctor Wang Shu and said: "Lord Wang, it turns out that the person you want me to kill is the young princess and the maid Xiaoqian beside her!" ”

"Great King," said the Doctor Wang, kneeling under the main hall and looking at King Tho.

"You assassinated the young princess and her maid Xiaoqian, what do you want, say," King Tho sat on the top of the hall a little displeased, and said with a gloomy face.

"The king, the minister is wronged! It was Gongzi Qi who didn't know how to bribe the guards guarding the royal city to frame the ministers, and the ministers were loyal to the Tho Kingdom, how could they assassinate the young princess? Then the Doctor Wang looked at Gongzi Qi and said, "Gongzi Qi, why do you say I want to kill the young princess?" ”

"Because you want to kill people and kill people, they know the conspiracy of the palace fire sixteen years ago, which is enough to make you take risks," Gongzi Qi took out the confession dictated by the maid Xiaoqian in the Guanyin Cave that night and looked at King Tho above the main hall and said: "King, this is the detailed process of the palace fire in the Suhou Palace sixteen years ago that was dictated by the maid Xiaoqian. The eunuch walked down the hall to take the confession from Gongzi Qi's hand, walked up to the side of King Tho, and carried the confession. King Tho opened this confession and said angrily: "Bold King wrote, you are guilty of all the human and material evidence?" ”

"The minister is guilty," the doctor Wang Shu knelt on the top of the main hall, his whole body was constantly trembling, and cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead and looked at King Tho.

"Someone is coming, put the doctor Wang Shu in the prison, and ask for beheading after the autumn."

The guards outside the main hall walked in and stood on both sides, and the upper doctor Wang Shu was paralyzed on the ground and looked at Gongzi Qi on the main hall and said: "Gongzi Qi, what I didn't expect is that I will be planted in your hands today, I will obey," and then stood up and was escorted out of the main hall by the guards on both sides.

As soon as Gongzi Qi returned to the hotel, these people from the Horse Mansion were waiting in front of the hotel with a sedan chair. Gongzi Qi stepped forward and asked the reason. An old man stepped forward and stood in front of Gongzi Qi, looked at Gongzi Qi and said very respectfully: "Childe, my concubine is invited." ”

"I don't know what happened to your concubine's invitation this time?"

"My master admires you as a person and invites you to talk to the Horse Mansion."

Gongzi Qi walked into the sedan chair, and the four of them lifted the sedan chair and left. Walking to the door of the Horse Mansion and slowly falling, Gongzi Qi walked out and stood in front of the gate, looking at the gate of the mansion. Lao Jia Ding stepped forward and turned to the side to invite Gongzi Qi to enter, and Gongzi Qi stepped into and was about to turn around to face this Lao Jiading. The old man Ding stepped forward and said with a smile: "My master is in the pavilion in the backyard. "Gongzi Qi walked to the backyard under the leadership of the old family Ding, the backyard is a large lotus pond, it is summer, it is also the lotus in the lotus pond when the lotus flowers are blooming, the petals bloom, dragonflies fly around and hover on it, and stop in the blooming petals when they are tired. The wide lotus leaves spread on the water surface seem to put a layer of green on the clear lotus pond water, and the red fish can be seen playing in the water among the green lotus leaves, which is so carefree, and a row of green willows hangs down on the opposite bank. Gongzi Qi walked along the lotus bank to the front of this pavilion, the horse Su Chengfa walked out of it, Gongzi Qi stood with his feet and performed with Confucian etiquette, the horse Su Chengfa stood in front of the pavilion to return the salute, and then asked Gongzi Qi to walk into the pavilion and sit opposite each other. In front of them, in the middle of the pavilion, was a stone table, on which tea sets were placed. Su Chengfa poured water into the teacup, washed it and poured it out, put it in front of Gongzi Qi, and brewed the tea.

"Childe, it only took you three days to clear the unjust case of sixteen years ago, I admire it. But there is a question about this, I don't know if Childe can answer it," Su Cheng put down the teapot in his hand and looked at Childe Qidao.

"If you have any doubts, it's okay to talk about it."

"We all know that the mastermind behind this case is Concubine Xi, why only punish one of the upper doctors?"

"Sixteen years, Concubine Xi's power can be said to be intertwined in the court, and I think it is very difficult to shake this big tree with this case. We had to dig up the roots slowly and let the tree fall on its own. The doctor Wang Shu rose from a capital envoy to a doctor, but thinking about his relationship in the court and the remnants of the party he cultivated, you can think of how muddy the water is. We took advantage of this case to get rid of the doctor Wang Shu, which is equivalent to shaking the big tree, and Concubine Xi has lost her right hand because of this, and she can't make waves in the court for the time being. Again, Concubine Xi is the most favored concubine by the king's side, if Concubine Xi is punished through this case, doesn't it make the king lose face in front of the ministers? Contemptible Qi is just an outsider, and it is not easy for an outsider to interfere in the king's family affairs, so it can be stopped. The maid Xiaoqian's confession, the king also knew the ins and outs of the case, and naturally took precautions against Concubine Xi. ”

"Childe's words are reasonable, it's just shocking!"

Gongzi Qi picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Taste tea." ”

Su Chengfa held the teacup with both hands and said with a smile: "Taste tea." ”

Gongzi Qi raised the teacup, and a burst of fragrance came to his nose, which made people have an endless aftertaste, a trace of sweetness, and swallowed slowly in his mouth. Gongzi Qi put down the teacup and looked at the concubine Su Chengfa and said, "Brother-in-law, there is one thing that I don't know whether to talk about or not?" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

"When the contemptible people Qi entered the territory of the Tho country, he found three cities, this city is higher or the length of the city exceeds the royal city, I don't know whose fief it is?"

"Childe, do you know, these three cities are the Su He clan in the city, the Su Ji clan in Yongcheng, and the Su Chang clan in Yongcheng, they continue to attack the city and plunder the land, and expand the territory to this day, the city has millions of soldiers, the king city is weak and the outer city is strong!"

"Can you tell me about the personality traits of these three people?"

"Childe, what do you know about their personality traits?" Su Cheng put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Gongzi Qidao very strangely.

"If these three cities surpass the royal city, it will definitely lead to disaster, and I want to know the character traits of these three people so that it will be useful in the future. In the thirteenth year of Lu Dinggong, Sanheng's Jisun, Mengsun, and Shusun controlled the general trend of the country, which was a major hidden danger of civil strife in Lu. We can use this to learn from the ancestors Kong Qiu and the three capitals, so as to prevent them from rebelling in the future and dropping the extra eighteen feet of the three families. ”

"This is not the same thing as understanding their personality traits, it has nothing to do with Feng Ma Niu," Su Chengfa raised the teacup in his hand after saying this, drank it in his mouth, and was puzzled by what Gongzi Qi said, and looked at Gongzi Qi to give him a satisfactory explanation.

"Knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, if you know yourself and not knowing the other, how can you be in the three capitals? The three are bound to lose. ”

"Oh, I understand what Childe means by this," Su Chengfa suddenly realized.

"Let's talk about it, the contemptible people are here to listen."

"Su He is my eldest brother, that is, your eldest brother, he is a very talented, very strategic person, he likes to make friends with strange people to give him advice, the second brother Su Ji and the third brother Su Chang were both born in the army, the east and west can be said to be victorious, these two are a rough person and treat people generously and decently. Although the eldest brother is a talented person, he is very scheming, easy to calculate, the second brother, the third brother and the eldest brother are face and heart do not match, if the strength of the army is compared with the second brother and the third brother is not able to fight my eldest brother, the eldest brother of the three has the strongest army and the highest city wall. ”

"They are all the three sons of the king."

"This is wrong, their fathers are the cousins of the king, since the Su State was destroyed by Yidi moved to Zhaohua with the king, changed his name and surname, but after their father died, the king thanked him for his kindness, but I didn't expect that today their brothers are constantly sitting big, difficult to control."

After hearing this, Gongzi Qi stood up with a smile on his face and exited the pavilion. Su Chengfa, the concubine, stepped forward quickly, stood behind Gongzi Qi and said, "Let me send Gongzi off." Gongzi Qi turned around and saluted: "Don't bother, please stay with my brother-in-law," Su Chengfa stood in front of the gazebo, looking at the back of Gongzi Qi leaving, and gradually disappeared into the backyard. Gongzi Qi stepped out of the Horse Mansion, stood in front of the mansion gate, looked at the tall mansion gate, and then turned around and left to stroll towards the hotel.

Childe Qi stepped into the hotel, and a handyman greeted him with a smile and said, "Childe is back." ”

Gongzi Qi just smiled and nodded in the face of this handyman, and slowly walked upstairs and entered his room. I saw that the clothes and quilts on my bed were neatly folded, and the house was clean and spotless. Gongzi Qi turned around and called into the second stunned and said very seriously: "Who has entered my room?" ”

"It's Miss Ling, she came to your room just now and waited for you for a long time, and left when she saw that you didn't come back."

"Lingling, when did she leave?"

"Not long ago."

Childe Qi hurriedly stepped out of his room, looked east and west on the street, surrounded by an endless stream of idle people, and continued to walk forward. Looking left and right in the crowd, constantly looking, I saw a woman in front of me, petite and cute, with a fluttering white gauze dress, and a maid entourage next to her. Thinking that this petite and cute girl was the Ling girl he was looking for, he couldn't help but shout, "Lingling." ”

Miss Ling, who was walking in front, heard the familiar voice behind her, and inevitably felt moved, and turned around and said, "Childe." ”

Gongzi Qi rushed forward and hugged Miss Ling tightly in his arms, and Miss Ling didn't have time to react at this time: "What's wrong?" ”

"I can't bear to let you go."
