Chapter 192: A plan to lure the snake out of the hole
"Yes, I originally came here to tell Wan'er about my father's marriage, but I forgot that the marriage was similar to not giving it!" Bei Duqing just woke up, still slightly drunk and sleepy, turning the wine jug in his hand, it seemed that there was still some unfinished feeling.
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this, why do you have to discuss what happened last night, you still have the heart to sleep, I haven't slept all night!" Beichen sat down beside Bei Duqing, snatched the flask from his hand and complained a little.
"You're smarter, do you know who's behind the scenes? I don't know anyway. Who do you think is the person behind it? And the powerful man in white who suddenly appeared, this is far beyond my ability! β
"Isn't it, it seems that in this imperial capital, there are a number of powers that we are not aware of early on, and it is a very terrifying force-" Beichen also sighed, casually poured himself a full glass of wine and rolled it into his mouth.
"But Beichen, let me ask you, did you hide anything from me at the summer banquet yesterday? You don't know anything about the imperial dining room and the things in the main hall? Bei Duqing looked at Beichen and asked, as an elder brother, he wouldn't fail to see that when the incident happened last night, Beichen's eyes didn't look like a person who suddenly learned the news.
Beichen chuckled back, not knowing what to say. Bei Duqing understood, got up suddenly, and complained: "What, what did you do?" Why don't you talk to me beforehand, why do you always make messy decisions on your own! β
"Brother! Don't get excited, listen to me, I didn't mean to hide it from you. When I was preparing everything, I was slightly aware that something was wrong, and I thought that I would design a game to see if that person would come in, but in order to reduce the association, I didn't tell you the plan, but I didn't think that the person in the middle was far beyond my imagination! Beichen pulled Bei Duqing and explained.
"Beichen, you have always had your own ideas, why don't you tell me? I know you're afraid that if something goes wrong, it won't involve me. However, we are brothers, and you don't tell me anything, what am I going to doβ" Bei Duqing sighed in disappointment.
"Okay, I'll tell you next time, I'll discuss everything with you, so it's okay!" Beichen smiled and shook his head, he couldn't do anything about his brother.
"Remember, you're the only brother I'm the only one! Tell me, what was your original plan? β
"The last time the Wenguan incident, didn't we have a mustard for the imperial uncle, so this summer banquet I sent someone to pay special attention to the emperor's every move, and sure enough, I found that he had been secretly following the actions of several of us, I thought, the last time there was such a big mess in the Wenguan, this summer banquet, there will definitely be some chaos, so I thought of a trick to lure the snake out of the hole, bought the imperial dining room to buy dishes, bought a few dishes that can make poison to each other and bought the imperial kitchen to make, while deliberately leaving a little flaw out, I didn't think anyone really took the bait-" Beichen revealed his plan and plan, but what was strange to him was that between such plans, he didn't know what went wrong, and he didn't find out that it was not going very smoothly at the banquet.
"Uncle Huang?" Bei Duqing looked at Beichen's frowning brow and asked.
"I don't know, judging from the situation at the time, there is no doubt that it should be Uncle Huang's person, but judging from the performance at the banquet, it doesn't look like Uncle Huang did it."
Bei Duqing frowned and pondered: "No wonder you want to let the imperial uncle go to investigate the matter of the imperial dining room, this is indeed a bit strange, it stands to reason that the person who found it should be added to the trouble, but during the inspection of the feast, it was not found that the dishes you prepared were cross-toxic to each other, but an imperceptible trace amount of poison was found in the dishes that had not yet been served, and besides, the people in the imperial dining room were all dead, and there was no proof of death?" β
"That's the strange thing, I got the news at the time, someone did take the bait, and there were preparations on top of our plan, so I don't know why no one found any evidence at the feast."
"Maybe everyone was so confused by the poison in that dish that they couldn't pay attention to anything else?" Bei Duqing guessed.
"Uncle Huang is such a shrewd person, can't he find out?" Beichen looked at Bei Du Qingdao, how could he hide it from the Punishment Mansion, from the Imperial Doctor, Bei Shenye, such an obvious thing, it was impossible to hide it.
"Soβcould it be that your plans were interrupted halfway through, and your meals didn't even make it into the Imperial Dining Room?"
"No, I carefully checked during the feast, and I saw the licorice, the chestnuts, and the carp and beef in those dishes when we first went to the imperial dining room, and there was nothing wrong with it."
"Then how-" Before the words were finished, Bei Duqing thought of a possibility, raised his eyes violently, and just happened to show certainty to Shang Beichen's eyes, and his eyes widened incredulously: "How is it possible?" Uncle Huang didn't watch our plan be revealed, so why would he help hide it? β
"I think, when I go to see those dishes again, the poisonous things must have been taken down, so I let people see them early in the morning, we just need to wait for the results to come out, if the expectations are good, it is that Uncle Huang deliberately helped us hide it."
"But Uncle Huang - why should he help us? Didn't you say that he was the one who found it, and if you wanted to help us, we should find someone to remove those dishes. "Bei Duqing is a little puzzled.
"I don't know, he should have made a temporary decision, when the situation is the case, we are all very clear, it has been determined that there are people other than us involved, I think, he may have used a trick to lure the snake out of the hole like us!"
"Are you suspicious that he knows who is behind it? Is it the remnants of Nanze Kingdom? β
"I don't know, Uncle Huang is too complicated and insidious, you see that when he was talking about the imperial dining room, although he helped us hide the evidence, he didn't lead the spearhead to our side, but he just wanted to remind us. But what he is most targeted at is the Five Emperor Brothers! He wants to lure the snake out of the hole, why is he pointing the finger at the five emperor brothers? Thinking that he and the Five Emperor Brothers, there is no deep grudge. Could it be that he's already planning something else? Beichen thought about Beishenye's every move at the banquet, and he felt that it was too weird.
"When we are preparing for the summer feast, have you paid attention to Beiliuyun?" Kita asked.
"I didn't pay much attention to it, what's the matter, what do you think, fourth brother?"
"I guess casually, you said that the imperial uncle was staring at each of us closely, and the behavior of the fifth emperor brother naturally fell into his eyes, could it be that the fifth emperor brother had something that angered him, or that the fifth emperor brother had something that made him unhappy?" Bei Duqing pinched his chin and guessed.
"That's right! Oriental Show! Dongfang Xiu is still in Beiliuyun, is it-"
"For Miss Lou!" Bei Duqing stared at Beichen's reaction as if he had already seen through it.
"That's kind of fun!" Beichen's eyes were slightly evasive, and when he mentioned that name at this time, he could still feel a trace of fluctuation in his heart.
"If Uncle Huang knows the person behind the scenes, then his trick to lure the snake out of the hole should be effective, we should send someone to keep an eye on the Jingzhong Mansion to see who will go to the Mansion during the period when Uncle Huang is grounded."
"Well, it's natural, I've let the undercurrent do it. But besides, the things in the dining room are not directed against us, but the things in the great hall are indeed related to us. Beichen buried his head, cleared his throat and whispered.
"Something to do with us?"
"Yun Niang!" Beichen said this name in a low voice, as early as yesterday when Beiliuyun said everything possible, he guessed that it must be Yun Niang who did something when preparing things, otherwise those things that were arranged would not be able to be touched by others.
"This slut, I owe her so many years to let her help manage Qiushui Changtian, I didn't expect it to be-" Bei Duqing slapped the table, and was about to rush to the Qiushui Changtian to settle accounts with Yun Niang.
"Fourth brother, what are you doing, you don't think that you can still see Yun Niang when you go to that autumn water at this time!"
"You meanβ"
"She was missing before we came back last night!"
"Damn! I didn't expect it to be difficult to prevent thieves. See if I don't dig three feet into the ground and find her and break her body into thousands of pieces! Bei Du was so angry that he stomped his feet, before Beichen said that he personally bought a product, and he asked Beichen to hand over the matter to Yun Niang, but he didn't expect that it was the wrong person who believed in it and was tricked.
"It's useless to look for her, why do you have to analyze who is behind her." Beichen persuaded.
"I guess the person behind her won't be the driving force behind the scenes, right?"
Beichen shook his head: "No, you look at what the people behind the scenes did, killing the people in the imperial dining room, and designing the clothes of the dancing girl to exchange and poison them, all of them are life-giving business, and the things above the main hall are just to make the ministers unconscious, it won't be their doing, and the incident in the imperial dining room happened one after another, maybe it's just an accident." β
"Accidentally? Who would have designed, there was such a big accident? β
"Fourth brother, in the long days of autumn water, is there any information about Yun Niang's identity?"
Bei Duqing thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, Yun Niang's identity is special, I picked it up on the way to the Northern Barbarian Expedition back then, and I have no identity information." β
"The Northern Barbarians? No, fourth brother, why didn't you tell me such important information earlier, Yun Niang's origin has such a big problem, why didn't you tell me earlier? Are you still relieved that she let her be in charge of the autumn water for a long time? After hearing this, Beichen only felt that Yun Niang's identity must not be simple, how could the fourth brother be-
"No, when I came back from the Northern Barbarian campaign, I passed by a small village on the border of the Northern Barbarians, but unexpectedly encountered the surprise attack of the Northern Barbarian dead soldiers, the situation was critical, I was seriously injured on the battlefield, naturally I was unable to parry those dead soldiers, at that time a dead soldier slashed with a knife, I couldn't dodge, it was Yun Niang who saved my life, she was injured in order to save me, I saw that she was a no relatives and no reason, so I took her back to the imperial capital." Bei Duqing recalled what happened back then, if it wasn't for Yun Niang's desperate rescue back then, he is afraid that he would not be alive now.
