Chapter 626: Blood Book (2)

As the prime minister, the privy envoy, the front secretary of the palace, the commander of the guards and the pro-army Ma Jun, and the commander of the guards and the infantry of the guards, even if Shi Bin threw all the work of the three yas to Zhao Gang, he still has a lot of official affairs to do, and there is almost no time to waste, this time it is actually very excessive. Therefore, after carefully observing the imperial study but still finding nothing, Shi Bin had to leave depressedly.

On the way to Yamen, Shi Bin couldn't help but sigh that Li Zong was Li Zong, and he was the emperor who had engaged in 'Duanping Reform', and once he was vigilant, it was not easy to catch his handle. Now he was only sure that something was hidden from him, and nothing else could be discovered.

Shi Bin was skeptical of what Li Zong said, 'I was accidentally cut by a spike while playing with flowers and plants a few days ago', and thinking of this, Shi Bin turned around and went to the Imperial Garden to verify Li Zong's words.

The answer he got made Shi Bin a little unhappy, because Li Zong did cut his hand while playing with flowers and plants in the imperial garden a few days ago. At that time, blood flowed, and the eunuchs and guards on duty around all saw it with their own eyes. Despite this, Shi Bin always had a trace of doubt in his heart. Because I always think of the allusion of King Chuzhuang's 'blockbuster' in my mind.

"Xu Feng, what do you think of the emperor's performance this time?"

"My lord, the emperor's performance is very wise, but due to the excessive contrast between the front and back, there are still obvious loopholes, I believe the adults have seen it."

"I did see it, but I didn't find any solid evidence, and this time I ran away in vain when I entered the palace." Shi Bin shook his head and said.

"My lord, not necessarily." Xu Feng said, "I remember that the eunuch guarding the Imperial Garden said that the emperor came out of there with blood on his hands..."

Before Xu Feng finished speaking, the word 'blood flow' suddenly attracted Shi Bin's attention, and as soon as he raised his hand to stop Xu Feng from speaking again, he himself spoke: "Xu Feng, do you say that playing with a few thorny flowers and plants will make your hands bloody?" Is this a stab wound or a cut? It seems that the emperor was injured in the index finger of his right hand! ”

At first, Xu Feng didn't quite understand Shi Bin's words, but after thinking about it carefully, Xu Feng understood. If it is to prune flowers and plants, Rizune is not left-handed, and even if he is cut, he should be left-handed. If you touch those beautiful thorny flowers and plants with your hands, it will only be a stabbing wound, and it will never be bloody.

From this, it can be seen that Ricun must be lying. There must be an unspeakable secret in it. This made Shi Bin vigilant again.

At Shi Bin's request, the Song court became the next morning, and the time was fixed between two quarters of the hour and two quarters of the hour, and there was an emergency and then the notice would be given. Therefore, Shi Bin, an important official in Beijing, can basically meet every other day.

Gradually, Shi Bin discovered an interesting phenomenon: several officials in Lin'an City had their hands cut, although the time was inconsistent, but they were all right index fingers. And none of these people are their own supporters.

After the dispersal of the dynasty on this day, Shi Bin did not go to the yamen, but went directly back to the mansion to discuss this matter with the two female Zhuge in the family.

Seeing that Shi Bin didn't go to work according to the rules, but returned home at this time, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi understood that there must be a reason, so they greeted him without saying a word and asked.

"Two ladies, I have discovered another interesting phenomenon in the past few days." Shi Bin smiled weirdly.

"Another interesting phenomenon?" Jia Ling said, "Let's talk about what interesting phenomenon makes Qi Guogong laugh so weirdly. ”

"Yes

Hurry up and talk about it. Sai Xi Shi followed suit.

"Good. I found that the index finger of the right hand of the emperor and several courtiers had been cut in the past few days..." Shi Bin smiled, "Isn't it interesting?" Their reasons are all because they didn't pay attention when they played with flowers and plants. Isn't it interesting that such consistent wounds and justifications? ”

Of course, this is very interesting, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi also laughed together after listening to it.

"A few of them sent things to the emperor before, but now they are injured like the emperor, which really makes people suspicious." Shi Bin said with a calm face, "I'm afraid there is a lot of conspiracy in it, most of which are still aimed at me." ”

"It makes sense, those people were dissatisfied with their husbands before, and now they just don't dare to express their dissatisfaction directly, and what they think in their hearts must not have changed." Sai Xi Shi said.

These are for sure, but the only thing the trio can think of is that they swear by blood. But it was impossible to figure out what the blood oath had to do with giving something to the Emperor. I can only vaguely feel that this is a way to connect.

"Husband, last time we asked you for pastries, the little eunuch said that the emperor dismantled the pastry box and threw it away, right?"

"Yes, Xiaoling. Is it dismantled and then thrown away, do you think the emperor should not open the food box? But I also dismantle things occasionally! ”

"Of course you shouldn't dismantle things, husband, it's a habit for you to dismantle things. The emperor had not been in the habit of dismantling things before, and this kind of behavior was only after he returned from the imperial conquest. Jia Ling said, "And the emperor dismantles things very badly, so the slave family thinks that there must be something strange in the food box." Maybe there's a mezzanine. ”

As soon as he heard the word 'mezzanine', Shi Bin immediately came to his senses, hurriedly agreed, and ordered Xu Feng to send an order to the people in the palace, asking them to carefully watch all the people and things that might be entrained.

Shi Bin's order, the eunuchs and guards in the palace will naturally do their best to carry it out. Within ten days, news came from the palace: Li Zong had opened two more food boxes, and he would be happy for a while after each opening. It's just that Rishu received a total of eight food boxes during this time. He did not take apart the other six, and he was calm when he ate the pastry.

Okay, good, what a 'fake is true when it's true, and there is nowhere to do nothing', Shi Bin couldn't help but sigh.

Since he grabbed Li Zong's fox tail, Shi Bin was no longer in a hurry, but just asked the people in the palace to carefully observe the difference between the food boxes that were dismantled and when they were not dismantled, and notify him once they could be sure. Because Shi Bin wants to grasp the current situation of Li Zong.

After observing this way for more than ten days, Shi Bin's people finally found the pattern. There is always a golden dragon decal on the top of the food box that Li Zong wants to open, which is always sent after three o'clock, and there are always two different kinds of pastries in the box. After thinking about it carefully, Shi Bin found that there was indeed a golden dragon decal on the top of the food box of the pastries he ate before, and there were two pastries that were different from the others. As for the time of delivery, Shi Bin forgot to ask.

After carefully analyzing the news sent from the palace, Shi Bin decided to go to the palace to verify it when Li Zong received such a food box again.

It didn't take long for Shi Bin to hear the news that Li Zong had received such a food box again, so he decided to go into the palace immediately to find out. However, before he left the house, he was stopped by Jia Ling and Sai Xishi.

"You are..." Shi Bin was puzzled.

"Husband, are you going to go into the palace to check and see if the news from the palace is true?" Jia Ling asked.

"Yes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing. It's better to see it for yourself. ”

"If it's true, what does the husband decide? Should the emperor be deposed immediately, or should he be imprisoned? Then there is how to deal with those with the emperor

Someone who colluded up against you? You know, we haven't figured out how to deal with the emperor, and we don't know how many people are involved in this. Piercing this layer of window paper too early may not be good for us. ”

I have to say that Jia Ling's words are very reasonable, even if Li Zong is indeed like this, Shi Bin has no good way to deal with it, and he can't act without full preparation. Shi Bin had no choice but to say that this visit to the palace was only for verification, and would never make Li Zong suspicious.

Walking in the dark night, holding a food box that had already been prepared in his hand, Shi Bin couldn't help but wonder what Li Zong's reaction would be when he saw the food box...

Within two quarters of an hour, Shi Bin arrived at the imperial study. Seeing Shi Bin coming with a food box, Li Zong was very surprised, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

After saluting Li Zong according to the rules, Shi Bin gently placed the food box on the coffee table. He said, "Your Majesty, there have been many ministers who have sent you pastries recently. It seems that they all feel that the emperor is too tired to drive the expedition and want to express their concern for you. ”

"Shi Aiqing is right, they all said so."

Pointing to the food box with a golden dragon on the top of the box, Shi Bin asked, "Your Majesty, the golden dragon decal on the food box is really beautiful." Who sent this, it's really going to send things. ”

"This was given by Li Shao, a member of the Zhongshu House."

"When did you send it, Your Majesty?"

"It didn't take long to deliver." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zong immediately regretted it, and his face was not normal.

Seeing all this in his eyes, Shi Bin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen also sent some pastries, why don't you rest first, let's eat these two boxes of pastries first?" ”

"The two of us don't have to eat so much, let's eat the pastries you brought, not to mention that I haven't eaten what you gave me. You've given me crickets twice to play with. ”

In order not to arouse the suspicion of Li Zong, Shi Bin said: "Okay, then our monarchs and ministers will eat the pastries I brought first, and if you don't feel enough, you can eat that box again." ”

Since Shi Bin took a step back, Li Zong couldn't be too stingy, and immediately agreed to Shi Bin's proposal, and ate the pastries sent by Shi Bin first, if it was not enough, then eat the box sent by Li Shao.

The purpose is in the food box sent by Li Shao, how could Shi Bin eat the cakes he brought? Naturally, he persuaded the Sect to eat more, and he was just making a show. After eating this box, Shi Bin said that he was not full, and he still wanted to eat the pastries sent by Li Shao. It's both filling your stomach and trying something new.

This made Li Zong very embarrassed, afraid that Shi Bin would see the flaws, but he must not let Shi Bin eat it, that is, there are no three hundred taels of silver here, and he will not recruit himself. So in the end, I could only open the food box, and the two of them ate again.

Seeing that there were really two different pieces of pastry in it, Shi Bin immediately completely believed the observation conclusion of his subordinates, and couldn't help but laugh happily.

"Shi Aiqing, why are you smiling?"

Knowing that he was a little out of shape and afraid of showing his feet, Shi Bin immediately said that he smiled so happily because the pastries sent by Li Shao were so delicious. Fortunately, the pastries sent by Li Shao were really good, which fooled Li Zong.

After eating the pastry, Shi Bin left. However, there was one order left for the palace men: keep an eye on Rizune carefully to see if he opened the box. If you open the box, you have to do everything you can to get what he got from the mezzanine. If you can't get it, you can know what's in it.

The next day, news came from the palace that Li Zong had opened the food box, and there was a mezzanine in the food box, and there was a silk blood book in the mezzanine.

There are at least a dozen names on it.
