The emperor finally told the secret in his heart, and in such a dark night, Wang Laohu heard the words from the emperor's mouth to deal with Liu Jin. Soon after Wang Laohu arrived in the capital, the emperor couldn't wait to start a war against Liu Jin, does it mean that he is ready?

In order to verify the correctness of his words, Wang Laohu asked, "Your Majesty, are you already sure enough?" ”

"Hurry up your preparations." The emperor said, "The Eight Tigers led by Liu Jin are not idle people, they are in my harem, making waves, and holding chicken cards as arrows." Not only is this harem smoky, but it also interferes in my affairs and makes decisions for me. "The more the emperor talks, the more angry he becomes, and the more he talks, the more energetic he becomes.

"Shu Weichen dared to ask, the Eight Tigers have been rampant in the palace for many years, and his foundation is solid, is it a bit hasty to deal with him right now?" Wang Laohu means that he wants the emperor to think about it again, and not to forget something because of the green hat incident in front of him, or because he came to the capital.

"Do you want me to endure it any longer? Haven't I been in for a long time? The emperor said angrily.

"I know that the emperor has been wronged, but in Weichen's heart, you are a good emperor, deal with the Eight Tigers, if the emperor is ready, I will fully cooperate, but if even the emperor is not ready, I am afraid I will be even more powerless." Wang Laohu is telling the truth, when he first came to the capital, he didn't prepare anything, and he said that he was going to move the Eight Tigers at once, which is really a fantasy.

The emperor thought for a while and said: "Wait a little longer, the foundation is too solid, and it is not easy to move him." ”

"With all due respect, if you want to move him, the most important thing is to have military power in your hands, and you have to have people in your hands." Wang Laohu said.

"The talisman is now in Liu Jin's hands, and it is not easy for me to take back the military power now."

Of course, Wang Laohu knows that it is not easy, Liu Jin can sit in this position for so many years, of course, he has his own ability. has his own people, and the eight tigers are gathered together, and it is difficult to break through at once. But the so-called, dripping water through stones, no matter how dense the impermeable wall, there are also flaws.

"So, please give me time."

"There are very few people around me who can be trusted except for you now." The emperor said.

"Is the Nangong guard next to you someone you can trust?" Wang Laohu knew that he was from Dongchang, so he asked softly.

The emperor looked at Wang Laohu and said, "Is there anyone else around me?" ”

Hearing this, it made Wang Laohu have some doubts, this Nangong Yan is a person from Dongchang, who has been by Lord Ding's side, and I heard that he was sent by the emperor to protect Lord Ding, whether he is the emperor's person or not, if not, tonight, their party will not be a private party.

The next day, the emperor's study.

Liu Jin and Yao Yuling were by the emperor's side. The emperor had a tense face, his face was gray, Liu Jin knew what was going on, because the emperor returned to the palace and Liu Jin also went to inform him.

"Your Majesty, I'm guilty." Before the emperor could speak, Liu Jin knelt down, but first admitted his mistake.

"Liu Qingjia, what are you guilty of." The emperor said.

"The emperor asked the servants to guard this harem, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen now. I have checked the documents of the Jingshi Room, and the emperor recently favored Concubine Qi half a year ago. Liu Jin's words have been made clear, the joy in Concubine Qi's belly is not what it is today.

"I asked the two Aiqing to come today to discuss this matter." The emperor said.

Yao Yuling looked at Liu Jin and said, "Qi Guifei, whose child is in her belly, this is checked, I am afraid that it will alarm the entire harem, and the impact on the emperor and the court is not good." ”

Liu Jin got up from the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that this matter is not suitable for publicity, so I also secretly asked the emperor to inform him to return to the palace." ”

Isn't my face bad enough? It's already big, and now it's just another mess, and it's ugly and ugly. "According to the two ministers, how should I deal with this matter?"

Yao Yuling looked at Liu Jin, and Liu Jin said: "According to the rules, the child in Concubine Qi's belly should be done immediately, and let people secretly investigate the person who had an affair with Concubine Qi." ”

Yao Yuling immediately echoed: "It's better that fewer people know about this kind of thing, it's best to investigate secretly, and the child in Qi Guifei's belly should be dealt with as soon as possible, if the belly gets bigger day by day, the paper can't contain the fire." ”

"I'm up to you, who is better to investigate this matter secretly?"

This matter is a tricky matter, not to mention a mess, in fact, it will offend some people, it is good to find out, if it can't be found, not only will there be a good show to watch, maybe the black yarn on the top will also be lost. "Leave this matter to the Jinyi Guard." The emperor said.

"The minion really wants to do this, but the Jinyi guards have a lot of mouths, and I'm afraid that some people will talk about these things because they have too many mouths." Liu Jin said, "I think that the less people know about this matter, the better." ”

"I don't need to put the brocade guard, do I want to use a new person to do this?"

"Newcomers are as good as newcomers, there is no intersection in the palace, you can do things with confidence, and you won't chew the root of your tongue in the back." Liu Jindao.

"What kind of suitable candidate does Liu Qing's family have?" The emperor asked deliberately.

"The servants have lived in the palace for a long time, and they are out of touch with the ministers in the court, as for whether there are newcomers, especially suitable candidates, I think I will know only if I ask Lord Yao." Liu Jindao.

This old fox quickly brushed this matter away, the emperor thought so, but he was silent, and then he took the initiative to ask Yao Yuling: "Who is Yao Aiqing's choice in his heart?" ”

Yao Yuling said: "This is not a trivial matter, when such a big thing happens, it must be a capable person, a person who can help the emperor." If yes

Newcomer, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it. ”

"Yao Aiqing's side doesn't have such manpower?" The emperor asked.

"People with strong abilities are new faces, so that they won't be disturbed by some people." Yao Yuling suddenly thought, "Your Majesty, I think of someone." ”

"Who did Yao Aiqing think of?"

"Weichen is thinking of a person now, this person has just come to the capital, and his ability is still strong, if he wants to solve this case, he will definitely be competent." Yao Yuling recommended.

The emperor knew who Yao Yuling was talking about when he turned around and wiped his feet, and this person also wanted to recommend him, in order not to show his voice, the emperor deliberately asked: "Listening to Yao Aiqing's strong recommendation for this person, he must be afraid that his ability must not be weak, who is this person?" ”

"He is the right attendant of the military department who has just taken office, Wang Laohu."

"Wang Laohu?" The emperor deliberately asked, "I only remember that he is a military attaché, can this case be solved?" Liu Qingjia, this Wang Lao Tiger is here to solve the case, I don't worry, I think it's better to let Jinyiwei come. ”

"Lord Yao said that this Wang Laohu is quite capable, and the slave also wants to see if he has this ability?" Liu Jindao.

What Liu Jin said, of course, is like a holy decree, whether the emperor agrees or not, the ironclad thing can't be changed, and the emperor has no choice but to do a favor: "Since the two Aiqing both recommended Wang Laohu, presumably he has some ability, just him." ”

Liu Jin smiled.

Yao Yuling and Liu Jinqi said: "The emperor is facing Ming." ”

"Liu Qing's family, Yao Aiqing, Wang Laohu's investigation of Wang Laohu's entry into the palace will be entrusted to the two of you, and I will go back to the leopard room immediately." The emperor wanted to leave this side immediately, lest they become suspicious.

At night, the king of the tiger house.

In the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door outside Wang Laohu's room, and the rhythm of this knock was from the secret team.

"Childe, it's me."

Wang Laohu heard that the person outside the room was Zhang Zheng, and said, "Please come in and speak." ”

Zhang Zheng came in from outside the room, immediately closed the door, clasped his fists at Wang Laohu, and saluted: "Childe, the matter you asked us to investigate is already clear." Wang Laohu asked Zhang Zheng to investigate the fate of the expired girls in the leopard room, and now when he heard that Zhang Zheng came to report, he asked, "I am mentally prepared, say." ”

"Last night, our brothers, who were guarding outside the leopard's house, came back and told us that the girls had left the leopard's house in a carriage, and that our brothers were not very close to us for fear of being discovered. Eventually, they were found to have been sent to a grove. After the carriage left, we found that the carriage was empty. When we went into the woods, we found that they had all been killed in the woods, and their bodies had been buried. ”

"Destroy the corpses." The anger in Wang Laohu's heart burned, "These beasts. ”

"Who is the guy who sent them out of the leopard house?"

"Jin Yiwei."

Wang Laohu closed his eyes, these unmarried women who had served the emperor must not have imagined that they would end their lives in such a form in the end, Wang Laohu was sad for their fate, and behind them were the girls of their own flower god society, if these girls didn't work hard enough to save them before they had an accident, their fate would be the same as these girls.

No, there are seven or eight girls in a carriage at most, and there are some women in the leopard room. "Is there a carriage?"

"One came out last night."

"They should be dealing with these unmarried women in batches."

"Childe, do you want us to save these girls?" Zhang Zheng asked.

"They're really killing alive, executioners." Wang Laohu said angrily, "However, I am not the ancestor of the world, and I can't save the girl in this world." ”

Wang Laohu sighed, it's not that he doesn't want to save it, it's just that now that he is fledgling, it is very likely that he will expose his strength at this time, and the gains will outweigh the losses. "Good and evil will always be rewarded in the end. Zhang Zheng, it's not realistic to go out to a large area of people to save these girls, but I do need witnesses, you can find a way to get me the next girl. ”

"Okay, Childe, they haven't done this completely, I'll definitely find a way to get someone."

With Zhang Zheng's promise, Wang Laohu closed his eyes and beckoned to him, motioning for him to go out. Knowing the ups and downs of these girls' fates, he could save them by stretching out his hand, but Wang Laohu couldn't, and didn't.

Eight Tigers, what the Eight Tigers committed, a bloody murder, one day, you will be paid for with blood.

Military Department.

Wang Laohu was in the military department, and at this time, a eunuch came to announce the decree, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "The holy decree has arrived, and Wang Laohu has taken the decree." ”

When some people in the military headquarters heard that the holy decree had arrived, they were busy putting down their work and kneeling down together.

"Carried by heaven, the emperor summoned and said. The military department is now having nothing to do for the time being, and now Wang Laohu has been transferred to Jinyiwei to serve as a concurrent officer, and he is also reused. Chin this. ”

"Emperor Xie, long live, long live, long live." The crowd shouted in unison.

Wang Laohu got up, and the proclamator said to him: "Hurry up and get ready, and report with me to Jinyiwei." ”

Wang Laohu said: "You wait a while, I'll prepare." After speaking, he went to Wang Qianwen and said: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, I have just arrived at the military department, and somehow, this holy decree has arrived, saying that I will report to Jinyiwei, do you know what is going on?" ”

Wang Qianwen stood up and said to Wang Laohu: "It's a good thing to go to Jinyiwei, besides, your position in the military department is still there, and there are not many opportunities like you." ”

"I just wonder how many of our troops there are

People, why did they let me go, and I'm still in the dark, I don't know what I was going to do? Wang Laohu asked.

"Let me tell you the truth, Liu Qiansui personally arranged this matter for you." Wang Qianwen said softly, "There are not many opportunities like this, how many people are willing to rush to go." ”

"It turned out that Liu Qiansui did a good thing for me, and I want to thank him well." Wang Laohu said.

Wang Qianwen nodded and said, "After you get there, someone will tell you how to do it and what to do?" ”

"Lord Xie Wang." As he spoke, Wang Laohu saluted him and thanked him. Although he said this, he knew that whether it was Wang Qianwen or the Eight Tigers, there must be a reason for arranging him to go. The emperor has already met with him, in the palace, in the palace, Concubine Qi suddenly became pregnant, this sudden green hat, the emperor was extremely uncomfortable, the emperor wanted Wang Laohu to investigate, who did this.

And what was the reason why the Eight Tigers let him go?

Just go first, see what they want to do, and then think about what they should do.

Wang Laohu reported to the Jinyi Guard, saying that he was asked to do the work of the Jinyi Guard, which was nothing more than a fictitious position, and that he could enter the palace and temporarily give him a position as a Jinyi Guard.

Sure enough, as he thought, the task assigned to him by the brocade guard was to investigate the child in the belly of Concubine Richie in the palace, and when the time was right, the child in her belly would be aborted.

Wang Laohu accepted this task, whether he volunteered or forced someone to put it on the shelf, this is no longer a choice for him, now it seems that whether it is the emperor or the Eight Tigers, their purpose is the same, they are all for him to investigate this matter clearly, and for him to correct the people behind it, as well as the child in her womb.

But there was one thing that made him feel unnatural, Jin Yiwei assigned him two other people, saying that it was to better cooperate with his work, but Wang Laohu knew that the two of them were here to supervise themselves, how could they do without their own people during the investigation? Wang Laohu wanted to bring one of his cronies into the palace, but the palace was not something that could be entered casually, so he made an additional request to bring someone into the palace himself, and Jin Yiwei agreed.

Wang Laohu took Qishun and two brocade guards into the palace. Now his main task is to investigate the mystery of Concubine Qi's happiness. If you want to investigate clearly, you have to see Concubine Qi herself, so Wang Laohu went to see Concubine Qi as soon as he arrived at the palace.

Concubine Qi is still in her own dormitory, and no one has anything to do with her, because this matter has not yet been decided, so at least now she is free. Qi Guifei was still sleeping at this time, and Wang Laohu knew that a pregnant person might be very tired, so Wang Laohu didn't bother, just waited quietly.

In fact, Wang Laohu has no right to disturb.

Wang Laohu waited outside the hall for more than an hour, and a girl came out and said to Wang Laohu: "Lord Wang, Niangniang is awake." Wang Laohu nodded, and followed the girl into Concubine Qi's bedroom alone.

Concubine Qi saw Wang Laohu through a curtain.

"Wechen Wang Tiger has seen Niangniang." Wang Laohu saluted.

"Lord Wang, we've met." Qi Fei said.

"It's rare for my mother to remember me."

"Lord Wang is young and promising, of course this palace will remember."

Although Concubine Qi said this, Wang Laohu knew that what he did last time was not completely clear, and someone just made a scapegoat. However, the emperor has already spoken and asked him not to investigate the matter anymore, and the matter has already passed. Now it's a matter of Concubine Qi, whose child is in her womb?

"Concubine Qi, do you know what I came to the palace for this time?" Wang Laohu asked.

Concubine Qi said: "Have you heard any rumors that this palace is pregnant with someone else's child." ”

Wang Laohu thought that she already knew what she was doing, and now that she had just arrived, she said to herself if this was the case, but what Wang Laohu didn't understand was that Concubine Qi was talking about rumors. "I'm really here for this." Wang Laohu got straight to the point, and he didn't hide anything.

"If this palace says that I am wronged, will you believe it, Lord Wang?" Concubine Qi said.

Wang Laohu can't express his opinion on this for the time being, because for this matter, Wang Laohu just heard that Concubine Qi had joy, and this joy came very strangely, the emperor did not have sex with Concubine Qi in the first half of the year, but suddenly there was joy.

"Weichen is willing to listen to Concubine Qi's words." Wang Laohu said.

"There is nothing to say in this palace, this palace hopes that Lord Wang will investigate well and return this palace to a clean slate." Qi Fei said.

"Weichen has met Concubine Qi Niangniang, and I came here to investigate this matter clearly, so the first thing I did when I entered the palace to see Niangniang was to find out what happened."

Concubine Qi stood up from the bed, Wang Laohu could see her standing up through the veil, and she held the veil with one hand and walked out, Wang Laohu hurriedly said: "Niangniang." ”

"Lord Wang, look at me."

Wang Laohu thought that Concubine Qi was asking him to see her belly, after all, she was happy, and this belly would be more or less protruding. Wang Laohu glanced at Concubine Qi's belly, her stomach may have just been happy, so she couldn't see it yet.

"Mother's belly has been around for a few months?" Wang Laohu asked.

Concubine Qi shook her head, this is strange, doesn't a woman even know that she has been happy for a few months? Wang Laohu's first feeling was that Concubine Qi had something to hide from him. Why should she hide it? Don't you believe you can bring justice to her? Or is it because she has a little weak heart.

What is hidden behind Concubine Qi's happiness?
