King Wu and Xi Shi were about to go to bed, and suddenly there was very bad news: Dr. Lu Hai, the chief technician of Gusutai, had an accident.

Gusutai can be built smoothly, technically all depends on Luhai, without Luhai, no one can build Gusutai.

King Wu hurriedly asked the chamberlain who reported the incident: "What happened to Dr. Lu Hai?" ”

The chamberlain said, "The messenger turned around and left, and didn't say anything happened to Dr. Lu Hai." ”

King Wu said, "What about Dr. Fan Li? In the palace or on the construction site? ”

The chamberlain said: "Dr. Fan was patrolling the palace just now, and when he heard that Dr. Lu Hai had an accident, he had rushed to the construction site. ”

King Wu said: "Now send someone to the construction site, see Dr. Fan Li, and after asking about the situation, rush back to see me immediately." ”

"Yes!" The chamberlain delivered the order.

King Wu looked back at Xi Shi, who was crying with his head down. King Wu hurriedly went over and hugged Xi Shi in his arms: "Madam, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xi Shi said quietly: "The concubines are looking forward to it early and late, looking forward to being able to play Gusutai with the king." Who knows that after so many years of hope, it will still be disappointed. ”

King Wu said: "Madam, I don't know what is going on, maybe things are not so bad." ”

Xi Shi said: "The concubine heard that the construction of Gusutai depends on Dr. Lu Hai. If something happens to Dr. Lu Hai, can Gusutai still be built? ”

King Wu said: "Madame, don't worry, no matter what happens to Dr. Lu Hai, Gusutai must be completed." ”

Xi Shi said: "King, it is a trivial matter that the concubine can't accompany the king to play Gu Sutai, and now everyone in the world knows that the king is repairing Gu Sutai. ”

King Wu sighed and said, "Who says it's not? God plays tricks on widows, and they always can't get along with widows. Why is the construction of Gusutai always unsmooth? ”

Shih Tzu said, "King, before the construction begins." There is no worship of heaven and earth. ”

King Wu said: "We have worshipped, we held a great worship ceremony in Lingyan Mountain, and there was a divine bird that day. The diviner said, "That's a good sign." ”

Xi Shi said: "God promised the king to build Gusutai, then it will definitely be successful, but there will be twists and turns." The concubines waited patiently, and the king did not waver or hesitate. ”

King Wu said: "The widow will not waver and hesitate. Madame sleep, the widow is waiting for the news of Dr. Fan Li. ”

Xi Shi said lazily: "The concubine wants the king to hug me." ”

King Wu said: "Okay, you can sleep in my arms, Dr. Fan Li is here, I will wake you up." ”

King Wu gently patted Xi Shi's back, and Xi Shi closed his eyes.

King Wu sat and waited for news, and before he knew it, he also fell asleep, and when he woke up, there was still no news. He had the heart to rush to the construction site overnight, but he was afraid that Xi Shi would be pestering him. Waited a while and fell asleep again.

After spending the night in a daze, it was not until the next day, after breakfast, that Bo Yao and Fan Li rushed back to report the situation.

King Wu heard that Bo Yao Fan Li was waiting in the study, and his face was not washed, so he hurried over, Bo Yao and Fan Li were going to pay homage, King Wu waved his hand and said: "No courtesy, tell the situation quickly." ”

Fan Li looked at Bo Yao, Bo Yao was the commander-in-chief, and he should report the situation.

Bo Yao knelt down and said, "The minister should die!" Ministers are out of duty! ”

King Wu said impatiently: "Get up, the widow doesn't want to know if you should die, but just wants to know how Lu Hai is?" ”

Bo Yao said: "Dr. Lu Hai is dead! ”

King Wu was stunned, and the most terrible situation happened. He was stunned for a while and said, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

Bo Yao said: "Yesterday the Shenmu was transported, Dr. Lu Hai was very excited, did not return to the Xiangguo Mansion, stayed at the construction site to work overtime, who knew that on the way back to the headquarters, fell down the deep ditch and died." ”

King Wu said, "How can this be? How can you stumble? ”

Bo Yao said: "It's not that I lost my footing, Dr. Lu Hai was killed by someone. ”

King Wu was taken aback: "What did you say?" Lu Hai was killed by someone? ”

"The king knows," said the king, "that there is a deep ditch in the middle of the road from the construction site to the headquarters, on which are two stones on it, and make a simple bridge. Now the little bridge was hollowed out at both ends, and as soon as one stepped on it, the stone turned over, and the man fell into the deep ditch. ”

King Wu said: "No, I remember that there is a safety net under the small bridge?" Should a person fall on the safety net? ”

He said, "The net was also made of hands and feet, and the ropes were cut. ”

Fan Li said: "When everyone heard about this, they went down to the bottom of the ditch overnight and found Lu Hai. It's hopeless. ”

"Damn!" King Wu scolded fiercely: "Tell me, who did it? ”

"I can't say who did it. ”

Fan Li said: "As soon as Lu Hai came, someone wanted to burn him, but he didn't succeed, this time it should be that person who did it, or that group of people did it." ”

King Wu paced back and forth, and said angrily: "If you find this person, you will be killed!" ”

As he was talking, Wu Zixu came, saw King Wu and said: "The old minister pleads guilty, the old minister only guarded against someone attacking Lu Hai, and he didn't expect the thief to kill Lu Hai in this way." If the minister is out of duty, please punish the king. ”

King Wu suddenly became angry, and roared at Wu Zixu: "Punishment, punishment, punishment, can you build Gusutai?" A dignified Xiangguo can't even protect a person. What other faces do you have to come to me? You opposed the construction of Gusutai from the beginning, are you satisfied this time? ”

Wu Zixu was scolded and bowed his head speechless. Wu Zixu has an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, but it is a bit unreasonable to punish him in this way, because no one would have thought that the thief would use this method to harm Lu Hai. If Wu Zixu is punished in this way, the ministers will not accept it, and King Wu himself will regret it.

So the good guys still have to do it. Fan Li bowed down and said: "King, this thief is too cunning and vicious, and his method is difficult to guard against, so please calm the king's anger, let's see what to do next." ”

King Wu said: "No matter what you do, the murderer must be traced." Someone is coming, and the official is coming to see me. ”

Sizhi is roughly equivalent to the position of the Minister of Public Security in later generations, or exercises the functions of the Minister of Public Security. Of course, the case of the victim will be investigated by the director.

There was not much time, and the official was hurrying over.

"The ministers are seeing the king!"

King Wu said, "What is Lord Shangguan busy with? ”

Shangguan Zheng said: "Back to the king, the minister is investigating the murder of Dr. Lu Hai. ”

King Wu said, "Did you find anything?" ”

Shangguan Zheng said: "It has only been a few hours since the incident, and nothing has been discovered yet. ”

King Wu said, "How do you plan to investigate?" ”

Shangguan Zheng said: "First of all, through investigation, find out who has approached the small bridge, especially in the recent period, who has approached the small bridge. This will lead to the detection of a group of suspects. Then find the perpetrator among these people. ”。

King Wu said: "Okay, just like this, now the widow gives you power, and all the ministers in the court, no matter how high the official position, you have the right to interrogate and interrogate." Those who do not listen to the summons are immediately locked up. Dazai and Dr. Fan are the commanders of the project, and you can keep them informed of the investigation. ”

Shangguan Zheng said, "Thank you, minister! ”
