Fan Li said: "I just deduced through analysis that Xiangguo had the motive to kill Lu Hai, and I didn't say with certainty that this fire must have been sent by Xiangguo." Because among the Manchu dynasties, only Xiangguo fiercely opposed the construction of Gusutai. But despite this, this matter is not necessarily Xiangguo's doing. In fact, there may be someone else who really does this, because there may be people who oppose the construction of Gusutai, and they don't say anything, but secretly do it, and there must be such villains. ”

Although Wu Zixu had a conflict with King Wu, no one, including King Wu, had ever humiliated him like this in person, he was trembling with anger, pointed at Fan Li and said: "You are really too much, you dare to humiliate your true appearance." If you don't produce evidence today, you and I will never give up. ”

But although he said this, he obviously lacked confidence. Because that's what he did. Now he regretted it. He's not very good at political struggle, but he's the kind of guy who wins or loses. In his helpless situation, he occasionally engaged in a conspiracy, but he did something bad and felt unsightly.

Fan Li has been suppressed by Wu Zixu for many years, and this breath has been held in his heart, and now he has won the absolute trust of King Wu and has gained a firm foothold, so he seized the opportunity to let out the sulk in his heart. Keep attacking Wu Zixu. Of course, he knew that he couldn't defeat Wu Zixu by reasoning. But when I sulked, I felt a little better.

Bo Yao received a major bribe from Fan Li, so he naturally spoke to Fan Li, and the two of them opened fire and launched a fierce attack on Wu Zixu.

But King Wu had other ideas. He knows Wu Zixu too well. can do the greatest ability of a country's monarch. It is to know one's own courtiers. Although Fan Li's reasoning pointed to Wu Zixu and was irrefutable, King Wu still didn't believe that Wu Zixu could do such a bad thing. This is not in line with Wu Zixu's character and goes against his principles of life.

King Wu said: "Okay, don't fight, this matter still needs to be investigated, no matter who is found to have done this, the widow will not be spared." The matter of building Gusutai has been discussed many times by several people at our top level, and after the collegiate discussion of all the courtiers, a resolution has been formed, and no more criticism is allowed. ”

Fan Li regretted that he only cared about saving Lu Hai's life at that time, and did not catch the perpetrator. missed the opportunity to defeat Wu Zixu. Now that things are like this, take it when you see it. But you can't help but say pretty things. So he bowed to King Wu and said, "King, you know that the minister has no personal enmity against the Lord of the Prime Minister. The words of the ministers are based on the facts, not the people. Perhaps some words are not appropriate, ask the king for forgiveness. ”

He turned to Wu Zixu again and said: "Fan Li and Xiangguo are both king's courtiers, and arguing with Xiangguo is also out of public intentions, please Xiangguo don't hold a grudge in your heart." ”

Wu Zixu snorted angrily and said: "Don't pretend to be a good person in front of Wu, what are you, what are you thinking in your heart." You know it yourself, and Wu knows it in your heart. ”

Fan Li said to King Wu: "King, Fan Li will wholeheartedly assist Dazai in building Gusutai, but you listen to what Lord Xiangguo said, if he gives the minister small shoes to wear, what will the minister do?" ”

King Wu said, "Stop! Stop arguing. Next, follow the instructions of the engineer to Dr. Lu Hai and get things done. ”

Bo Yao said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Wu Zixu said: "The minister will go back to the army." ”

Fan Li said: "The king, the minister still has something to say, the matter is not over yet." ”

King Wu said, "Young uncle, what else do you have to do?" ”

Fan Li said: "Dr. Lu Hai's safety problem has not been solved, because the person who wanted to murder Dr. Lu Hai is still there. If I didn't succeed this time, will there be a next time? Dr. Lu Hai is a high-level craftsman, but he doesn't know martial arts, can't fight, and has poor self-protection ability. Lu Hai is an indispensable person for the construction of Gusutai. Without him, Gusutai would not have been built. So, please ask the king to solve the problem of Dr. Lu Hai's safety first. ”

King Wu scratched his head, yes, this is a big deal. If there is a problem with Luhai, Gusutai will not be able to fix it. said: "What the young man said is extremely much, strengthen the safety protection of Dr. Lu Hai, and use the strongest force to protect Lu Hai. Dazai formulates a security plan, and Xiangguo gives it to people. ”

Bo Yao and Wu Zixu bowed and replied, "Yes! Obey the order. ”

Fan Li kept shaking his head. King Wu said, "Young Uncle shook his head. What other good ways do you do it? ”

Fan Li said: "The minister thinks that this will not protect the safety of Dr. Lu Hai. This is different from a war between two armies, whoever has the strongest military will win. Now the enemy is in the shadows, and we don't know who can strike at him. ”

That makes sense. That's just the way it is. King Wu said, "Young uncle." What's your best way to do it? ”

Fan Li said: "The minister thinks that the security problem of Luhai can be solved by handing it over to Wu Xiangguo. So far, Xiangguo has not done anything for the construction of Gusutai. Now that Xiang Guo is responsible for the safety of a chief engineer, Xiang Guo will not shirk it. ”

"You ......" Wu Zixu's face turned purple, "King, the training task of the ministers is very heavy!" ”

Fan Li said: "Of course, Xiangguo can't be personally responsible for this matter, how can Xiangguo be asked to do a doctor's security work?" ”

Wu Zixu said: "Then I can only send people to defend him, what is the difference between this and Dazai sending people to defend him." ”

King Wu is also a little confused, what's the difference?

Bo Yao was secretly surprised, Fan Li's move was really powerful. He also concluded in his heart that Wu Zixu had done the matter of sending someone to set the fire. Now directly handing over Lu Hai's safety to Wu Zixu is indeed a clever move. The construction of Gusutai is the most important thing for King Wu, and if there is a problem with Luhai, Gusutai cannot be repaired, which violates King Wu's bottom line. King Wu will cut off Wu Zixu's head. Wu Zixu will never hurt Lu Hai, and he will lose his life, right? He's not so stupid yet.

Fan Li said: "We know that these gangsters generally choose to do it at night. In Gusu City, there are two safest places at night, one is the king's palace and the other is the Xiangguo Mansion. But Dr. Lu Hai can't be allowed to live in the palace, that is not in accordance with etiquette. However, you can live in the Xiangguo Mansion. There are so many houses in Xiangguo Mansion, and one more Luhai will not be crowded. Lu Hai will also increase the food expenses of the Xiangguo Mansion. The king gave Xiangguo two taels of silver every month, and he made up for it. ”

This is really the case, the safest place in Gusu City, in addition to the palace, is Xiangguo Mansion. However, Fan Li's last sentence was obviously in the cold Wu Zixu. Wu Zixu was so angry that he had a toothache, does Xiangguo care about having one more person to eat?

King Wu felt that this was really the case. said, "Xiangguo, do you still have an empty house in your family?" If not, can you come out? ”

Wu Zixu was angry, but he couldn't attack in the face of the king, so he smiled bitterly: "King, no matter how narrow the minister's family is, he won't be able to arrange a person, Fan Li is here to practice me." ”

King Wu said, "Okay." The young uncle's idea is good, the engineer ordered Dr. Lu Hai to live in Xiangguo's mansion, whether he is dead or alive is Xiangguo's business, and the loss of a hair is also Xiangguo's business, Xiangguo is safe, Lu Hai is safe. And so it was decided. ”

Wu Zixu said: "The minister obeys the order! He glanced at Fan Li fiercely.
