Chapter 389: A Stratagem to Kill Two Birds with One Stone
Lord Wang, everyone is gone. It's just that the officers and soldiers who came with them before are still around the palace, and they don't seem to have any intention of leaving for the time being. ”
The housekeeper stood respectfully in front of Xiao Chumo and reported to him what he had seen when he went out with those headhunters just now. It's just that probably because of the attitude of these people, his face is not very good.
For this, the expression on the latter's face did not fluctuate much, obviously he had already guessed: "These people didn't really follow the head catcher, the person hiding behind them should be Situ Ye." He finally found such an opportunity to spy on me openly, and naturally he would not let it go easily. ”
Since even the people who came to search have already taken refuge in Situ Ye, I am afraid that even the entire yamen is already under the control of the latter. If the officers and soldiers guarding outside left like this because of the head-hunting thing, there would be a problem.
The housekeeper nodded, he had seen what had happened inside and outside the palace in recent days, so it was naturally not difficult to guess this. It's just that he still has some doubts: "Since the prince knows that those are Situ Ye's people, why do you want to cut off the head catcher's arm?" ”
He has been following Xiao Chumo for several years, how can he not know the temperament of his prince.
Although it is true that he kills without blinking, it is only for the enemy. A chess piece like tonight's headcatcher, which is obviously of little use, he will not do it easily. It is even more unlikely that it is just because of the inexplicable reason that this group of people "messed up the palace".
"I did it on purpose."
Xiao Chumo didn't seem to be affected by what happened just now, and still sat on the chair drinking tea, as if he couldn't see the dazzling blood in the hall.
"This group of people deliberately rummaged through my palace for something under the guise of searching. In this case, it is only natural that I want to embody the 'hospitality'. Let them know that in some places, some clowns must not be allowed to be presumptuous. ”
The housekeeper was able to achieve today's position, and he was naturally a smart person. At this time, as soon as he heard Xiao Chumo's words, he immediately understood what he meant. How can these headhunters have such courage and purpose to dare to use public favoritism, this person who is standing behind them and commanding them, if nothing else, is Situ Ye.
"If that's the case, isn't the sudden wanted notice in the morning a deliberate prelude? In order to let people into the palace, this Situ Ye can even think of such a despicable method as forging a wanted warrant! ”
Xiao Chumo hadn't explained the wanted warrant to others before, so it wasn't until this time that the housekeeper finally understood where the wanted warrant came from. Merely......
When Xiao Chumo heard his words, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the steaming tea in his hand and not knowing what he was thinking. It's just that he didn't forget to remind the housekeeper: "No, you are wrong, this wanted warrant is not forged." ”
"This ...... Not faked? ”
The latter was a little confused.
On the day the princess came back, he clearly saw that the little emperor was by her side, and he personally sent her back, and the relationship was very good. In this way, the prison escape charge written on the wanted warrant has been established. What's more, just looking at the behavior between the princess and the little emperor that day, he could also be sure that this wanted warrant should not be an order issued by the little emperor himself.
The two most important points have been ruled out, and with the incident that happened tonight, this wanted notice is obviously forged by Situ Ye in order to find something!
Xiao Chumo looked up at his puzzled look, anyway, he couldn't do anything for the time being, so he patiently explained a few words in the end: "Situ Ye's move is to kill two birds with one stone." Judging from the situation just now, I am afraid that most of the yamen in the capital have been controlled by him, and it is just a matter of easy to get a wanted warrant. ”
He wanted to deal with Panxi first, so he casually found an excuse and tried to get rid of her while blocking Youyou's mouth. At the same time, he also wanted to find something in my house, so he continued to search for the name of Panxi's traces, and openly let people come in to find it. ”
Xiao Chumo retracted, and the housekeeper nodded at the right time, indicating that he had understood. It's just that there is one more point that makes him really a little puzzled: "But lord, there doesn't seem to be anything precious in our house that he wants to get at all costs." ”
Although there are indeed a lot of rare treasures stored in the small treasury in the mansion, most of these are rewards obtained from the palace, and Situ Ye may not have seen them. If you really want to, with his means, you can definitely get a better one, and there is no need to take such a big risk.
"No matter what it is, now that I have deliberately provoked him, you should send more people to pay attention to it, so that people don't sneak in."
Xiao Chumo quietly diverted the housekeeper's question and diverted his attention to other places. Obviously, in fact, he knew what Situ Ye's purpose was, but he didn't plan to tell anyone else for the time being.
The two sides had fought for so long, and he knew that Situ Ye had not given up the idea of getting the Xingtian Sword. It's just that he didn't expect that he would come up with such a way, and openly let people break into the palace to search.
If he hadn't sensed that something was wrong, agreed with Yu Panxi's idea of leaving the mansion, and at the same time hid the Xingtian Sword in advance, he was afraid that Situ Ye's conspiracy would have succeeded long ago.
The housekeeper didn't know what his master was thinking at this time, and when he saw that the expression on his face was getting more and more serious, he thought that he was still worried that Situ Ye would suddenly break into the palace. So he hurriedly agreed to Xiao Chumo's instructions, and then ran out to do so.
Regarding what happened here in the Regent's Mansion, Yu Panxi, who was in the Yu family's old mansion, didn't know. After a reluctantly night's rest, she was smearing medicine on Liu Suifeng's arm at this time.
"Hiss, can you lighten it a little, it hurts!"
As soon as the cold ointment touched Liu Suifeng's wound, he immediately gasped and couldn't help but start yelling.
Yu Panxi didn't speak, just looked up at him coldly, and then concentrated on digging out a little ointment from the porcelain bottle and continued to wipe it on the wound. Only this time, she obviously used a little more effort.
"It hurts, it hurts! Other women are as gentle as water, how did they become so strong when they came to you! ”
Liu Suifeng quickly retracted his hand, snatched the ointment with his other hand and carefully applied it to the wound, complaining about Yu Panxi in his mouth.
- He saw and felt the time this woman smeared the medicine on him just now, and it was definitely intentional!
