Chapter 402: Changing the Pillar
Ye Zhiqiu dried the ink on the paper, carefully folded it and stuffed it into his sleeve, and suddenly heard someone shouting outside the house: "Lord Ye, Lord Ye?" It was clearly Lao Cao's voice.
"What?"
“…… It's back! Lao Cao tried his best to keep his voice low, but he still couldn't hide the surprise on his face.
"Oh? Let's go, let's see. Ye Zhiqiu secretly thought in his heart: I hope this straw bale prince can grow once, don't be an elm pimple!
The clever soldiers were specially selected by Lao Cao, and they were thin and weak, but they could speak very well. It is said that there are eighteen matchmakers in the family of 53 people, and they have been used to it since childhood.
The soldier saw Cao Feihu and Ye Zhiqiu, and replied with a sneer: "I was given a good errand by the two adults, and the younger one was fortunate to see His Royal Highness the Prince......
"Don't talk nonsense, what did Your Highness say?"
The soldier looked around smartly and didn't speak, and then looked at Lao Cao.
Lao Cao understood: "You all go outside and wait!" ”
When the soldier saw that the people were scattered, he cautiously whispered:
"The little one first said Lord Ye's words, and His Highness looked a little surprised at first."
"And then?"
"Then His Highness asked if the son of Commander Cao was also there."
Lao Cao glanced at Ye Zhiqiu nervously, and Ye Zhiqiu only smiled. Both of them can understand that the prince obviously guessed that Cao Xiwen told his father about the conversation, so that there would be this one who led troops to besiege the village.
"How did you answer?"
"The little one is according to Lord Ye's explanation, saying that Master Cao is not there, but Lord Ye is here."
Lao Cao thought to himself, Ye Zhiqiu was really not far behind, and he had to mention it in front of the prince, and he had a share of the credit for this matter. It's human nature.
What Ye Zhiqiu thought was that although the prince was not smart, he knew Lao Cao's catties, and this trick of stealing beams and changing pillars was replaced by Lao Cao's idea, I am afraid that the prince would not be able to believe it. In this case, it is indispensable to carry it on his own, so the prince can still believe that the plan to frame Gonggong Li is feasible.
Puppets aren't that easy to handle.
"And then?"
His Royal Highness heard that Lord Ye was also there, and after thinking for a while, he said that he would let the little one wait outside the hall. After about half a pillar of incense, His Highness personally took this and handed it to the small one. The soldier said, carefully untying a splendid package from the back of his waist, which still had a dragon cloud pattern on it, which was obviously a thing in the palace.
Lao Cao couldn't wait to open it and take a look, gasping for air.
The nine-fold purple tourmaline snuff box has a plum-sized blue blood Donghai pearl in the lid of the box, and on the side is a yellow tortoiseshell tube, and a two-finger-thick carnelian with scales is inserted in the middle. The rest, such as the golden seal of the carved dragon, the wrench of the cloud, the jade bottle of the head of the ao, and the golden hairpin of the phoenix, are piled up with a bag of them, and they look at Lao Cao full of dazzling eyes.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at it from the side and was secretly amused in his heart, this prince seemed to be afraid that the crime was not serious enough, in addition to the rare tribute, even the princess's hairpin ornament was mixed in.
Lao Cao suddenly let out a "huh", and gently pulled out a small piece of black stuff that looked like wood and not wood, and the charcoal-like appearance looked incompatible with other jeweled objects.
"What is this?"
Ye Zhiqiu deliberately sank his face and said in a lost voice: "This ...... This is the thousand-year-old ambergris brought by the tributary envoy of the Qihe Kingdom five years ago! It is rumored to be the treasure of the town of Qihe country, in order to seek the protection of my Cangwu country, I deliberately cut a six-inch section from the middle to come to pay tribute, and I was also fortunate to take a look at it when I paid tribute that year. Look at the colors and textures...... You can't be wrong, it's definitely a small piece of it! ”
Lao Cao actually didn't understand what this thing was, but he was still frightened, and dropped the ambergris between his fingers back into his pocket.
This...... The idea of this prince wanting to kill Gonggong Li can really reach the hearts of the people across the palace!
Ye Zhiqiu asked, "Your Highness handed this over to you, but what do you have to say?" ”
"Your Highness said that this matter must be careful, since Lord Ye is here, you can think more for His Highness. also said that before the matter is completed, don't publicize it for the time being. ”
Ye Zhiqiu smiled.
This time he laughed from the bottom of his heart, and the prince's words were enough to make it more convenient for him to control Lao Cao.
The soldier looked at Ye Zhiqiu's face, guessed that he had done a good job, and said flatteringly: "Your Highness still has a word to bring." ”
"Say!"
"Recently, the weather is cold, the wind and snow are blowing, it is a good time to eat mutton stove, His Royal Highness said that he will go to Lord Ye's house the night after tomorrow, please prepare Lord Ye."
How clever the soldier was, although he was just a messenger, he heard the prince say that he was going to Ye Zhiqiu's house to eat mutton, it was obviously the extreme grace, and he groveled even more than Fang Cai at the moment.
Lao Cao waved his hand to signal that the soldiers could go down, but he was a little uneasy, and added: "As long as you dare to leak half a word, you will not be spared!" ”
In fact, he didn't tell him, and the soldier also knew the stakes, so how dare he talk nonsense.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at the bag thoughtfully, and Lao Cao couldn't help but ask when he saw that he didn't speak for a long time, "Lord Ye, then what should we do next?" ”
Ye Zhiqiu pointed to the bag and said, "Your Highness's meaning is very clear, you have also seen these treasures with your own eyes, why hesitate?" Now that you have the physical evidence, then look for personal evidence, and you can find a clever soldier. ”
Lao Cao was stunned for a moment, "Fang Cai's one is quite clever." ”
Ye Zhiqiu thought to himself, what a fool.
"Lord Cao, Your Highness said that this matter must be kept secret, so one thing cannot be handed over to one person from beginning to end, otherwise he will know the ins and outs of the whole matter."
"I see! is worthy of Lord Ye, no wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he wants you to consider it for him! Lao Cao admired Ye Zhiqiu from the bottom of his heart.
"In this way, let's go our separate ways, you give me the thousand-year-old ambergris incense just now, I only need this to persuade Gonggong Li to confess the crime. Go and arrange for your brethren to guard all the entrances and exits, and there shall be no mistakes. ”
"Good!" When Lao Cao heard this, he didn't have to face Gonggong Li, and felt relieved and satisfied. Originally, the prince said that Ye Zhiqiu would consider it, and he would be happy.
Lao Cao carefully handed the piece of ambergris to Ye Zhiqiu and hurriedly discharged from the hospital, while Ye Zhiqiu turned back to the backyard.
Whether you can let the old fox of Gonggong Li be fooled depends on this move!
Ye Zhiqiu bypassed the shadow wall and saw that Gonggong Li was still standing outside the house, looking determined.
"Hehehe, Grandpa Li. The north wind is devastating, so why wait outside the house? But feeling uneasy? ”
"Where, Lord Ye has worked hard to convict me, an old slave, but it is much more tiring than me standing like this."
Ye Zhiqiu didn't refute, made a gesture of please, and went into the house by himself.
"Gonggong Li, Your Highness is really aware of your crimes, and I didn't want to be too public, but my father-in-law was obsessed and unrepentant, so I had to wait for me to search the mansion."
"Oh?" Gonggong Li sneered: "Isn't there something else?" ”
"I don't know if it's too much or if it's hidden there, but I've seen something like this." As he spoke, Ye Zhiqiu took out the black ambergris and shook it in front of Gonggong Li's eyes.
Gonggong Li's face did not change, he expected that Ye Zhiqiu had just been discharged from the hospital to do the planting of stolen goods, which was not surprising to him.
He always felt that Ye Zhiqiu was a city person, but he didn't have any contacts in Su Ri, and he hadn't heard of any evil deeds. However, the more such a person, the more difficult it is to provoke, because he must be very sure when he is willing to make a move.
"Lord Ye is really good, he can even prepare the thousand-year-old ambergris of Qihe Country." Gonggong Li's sarcasm is very obvious.
"How can someone have such ability? This is all the handiwork of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he does not dare to plunder the beauty. ”
"Don't you shy away from making things out of nothing?"
"What is there to hide? I told my father-in-law at the beginning that His Highness wanted my father-in-law's order, and I just waited for the order. ”
"But what can you do with just a piece of incense? It is not impossible if it is said that you, Lord Ye, hid some of the tributes in advance, and then pretended to make waves under the pretense of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
"Grandpa Li, there is something that I think is very meaningful. You and I both know that Your Highness is wronging you, but you have never mentioned why Your Highness is doing this, obviously you know His Highness's intentions, don't you? ”
"I don't know." Gonggong Li was a little alert.
This Ye Zhiqiu, what does he want to dig out of his mouth?
"Hehe, Gonggong Li, are you sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not tell the matter, so keep your mouth shut, do you think that as long as you can keep that secret, we will only dare to surround the village and not dare to take your life, right?"
The secret? This Ye Zhiqiu is playing tricks on me again?
Gonggong Li was expressionless and did not speak.
Ye Zhiqiu sighed and said, "It's okay...... If you don't want to say it, I'll tell you for you. The statue of the golden spring horse sent by the blue sea country ......"
As soon as he heard the words Jinquan Concubine, the flesh on Gonggong Li's face finally couldn't help but tremble, but just like this, Ye Zhiqiu had seen it clearly, and he was more and more accurate at the moment.
"It's really shocking that this thing is so wrong, but this matter is too big after the Holy Lord is Mu Yun's clan......
Ye Zhiqiu already knew Emperor Wen's life experience, so he naturally did not hesitate when he spoke.
When Gonggong Li saw that he was conclusive, his heart was half cold.
This Li Chongyan ...... Really told Ye Zhiqiu such a big secret?
Can't speak, and the best thing to do in times like this is not to speak!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has told me all these things, which shows His Highness's trust in me, how can I not solve problems for His Highness?"
The defense line in Gonggong Li's heart collapsed.
This evil obstacle, sure enough, he poked out the secret!
Ye Zhiqiu approached Gonggong Li and asked softly: "Gonggong Li, now that the matter is over, do you want me to continue to talk about those things about the Empress Dowager Jing back then?" ”
"No...... No! Gonggong Li raised his hand in front of him in horror, lest he hear another word.
