The husband heard his words clearly, and his face was no longer ugly, and an ordinary person would be annoyed by such a discussion, let alone the king of a country.

Bo Yao saw the change in his husband's expression in his eyes, and laughed secretly, Wu Zixu, Wu Zixu, see that you are not dead this time!

The housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion got the report from his subordinates and hurried over, seeing that Wu Zixu didn't find the two husbands, he just cared about scolding the two women, and complained bitterly in his heart.

He was afraid that if he continued, Wu Zixu would say even more uncontrollable words, and he didn't care if he would be blamed, so he quickly knelt on the ground and shouted, "See the king!" ”

Wu Zixu, who woke up with these words, suddenly raised his head, and saw his husband standing not far away with a gloomy face, and hurriedly ran over and knelt on the ground to salute, "See the king, I don't know that the king has arrived, and I have missed the welcome, please forgive the king." ”

Staring at Wu Zixu's gray hair, anger surged in his husband's eyes, and just when everyone thought he was about to attack, the anger suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared once. He leaned over to help Wu Zixu up, and said in an affectionate tone: "Father is exempt." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Zixu got up nervously.

"This king takes the liberty of bothering, and my father won't blame him, right?"

Wu Zixu was flattered by his husband's long-lost politeness and respect, and said: "The king is serious, it is the honor of the old minister that you are willing to deign to come to the cold house." ”

"That's good." The husband smiled and said, "Father Xiang doesn't invite this king to sit inside?" ”

He reminded Wu Zixu of this sentence, and hurriedly said: "The old minister is confused, the king quickly invites him to sit inside, butler, go make tea, and ask for the best tea." ”

Seeing the two of them walking in with a smile, Bo Yao couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, what kind of gourd is sold in this big king's gourd?

After they were seated, the housekeeper brought the tea, and the husband took a sip, and said, "After drinking so much tea, it is still the best in the Xiangfu Mansion." ”

Wu Zixu was full of joy when he heard this, and immediately said: "If the king likes it, just come and drink it at any time." ”

"This is what my father said, and his words are certain." After a few polite words like this, the husband changed his words and said, "This king just heard his father reprimand those two concubines, and he seems to be dissatisfied with this king?" ”

Hearing the husband ask about this, Wu Zixu hurriedly knelt on the ground to ask for guilt, but the husband stopped him and said with a smile: "This king just asks casually, and the father doesn't need to be nervous." ”

Wu Zixu felt a little at ease in his heart, sat down diagonally, and said: "The old minister eats the king's fortune and is loyal to the king, how dare he be half dissatisfied with the king; The old minister was just worried that the king was young and vigorous, and he was blinded by the villain, and he couldn't distinguish between good and bad loyalty and treachery, and he would only say such words in a hurry. ”

Fucha smiled and said: "Father Xiang is loyal to Wu Guo, and he has been the same for decades, how can this king not understand." Speaking of this, he frowned and said, "This king has recently encountered a troublesome matter, and I want to ask my father to help solve it, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

Wu Zixu hurriedly said, "The king, please speak." ”

The husband held the tea cup that exuded a mist and said: "This king has received a secret report that Qi people have entered and exited the Xiang's father's mansion recently, I don't know if it is true?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Wu Zixu's eyes immediately widened, and he said excitedly: "The king suspects that the old minister is having an affair with the Qi State? ”

The husband comforted: "Don't be excited, don't be excited, this king just asks according to the rules." ”

"The first king was as kind to the old minister as a mountain, and the king regarded the old minister as a father and a teacher since he was a child, and the old minister never dared to do anything sorry for the first king and the king." The more Wu Zixu spoke, the more excited he became, and he actually raised his finger to the sky, "If there is a lie, let the old minister die without a whole corpse!" ”

"The king said that he just asked casually, why the more the father said, the more serious it became." The husband took his hand and said cordially: "Just like my father said, in the past 20 years, you and I have been like teachers and fathers, how can we doubt you." Besides, if it weren't for the dedication and assistance of his father, Wu would not be where it is today. ”

The husband's words made Wu Zixu's mood calm down a little, and he asked: "I don't know who chewed his tongue in front of the king and framed the old minister?" ”

The husband did not come back, but only glanced at Bo Ya, who was so frightened that he almost jumped out of his chair as if he had been devoured by a snake.

What kind of character Wu Zixu is, he immediately understood, looked at Bo Yao angrily, and said sharply: "How dare a thief do this!" ”

Bo Yao's face was blue and white for a while, he saw it clearly just now, and when the husband looked over, there was a sneer in his eyes, that is...... The husband did it on purpose, why did he do it?

Bo Yao is the best at speculating on other people's thoughts, but this time, he can't guess the mind of the husband, the sound of Wu Zixu's scolding in his ears continues, and the more he speaks, the more ugly it becomes, Rao is city government is as deep as him, and he can't help but change his face, and said angrily: "If Lord Xiangguo didn't do anything wrong, why should he be afraid of people." ”

Wu Zixu snorted coldly, "Then you say, how can the old man communicate with the Qi State?" ”

Bo Yao was stared at by him and felt weak in his heart, but at this time, even if he was weak in his heart, he had to hold on, otherwise he would be the one who died.

Thinking of this, Bo Yao stubbornly said: "Yesterday, someone saw a person with a face leave your mansion, and his behavior was strange, and he was clearly a spy of the Qi country. ”

"According to what you say, all the people who are born in the face are acting strangely, and they are all spies of the Qi State? It's ridiculous! Wu Zixu flicked his sleeves and sneered: "It's a shame that you are still an important minister of the court, and you would say such a naïve and ridiculous thing, and I don't know why the former king would refer to you as a minister in the first place!" ”

Bo Yao was disgraced by his scolding, and turned his head to look at his husband, hoping that he could help him say a word, but the latter just sipped tea slowly, without the slightest intention of speaking, obviously asking him to solve it himself.

Bo Yao gritted his teeth and said, "People can't see it, but the clothes can always be seen, right?" ”

Wu Zixu was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

Bo Yao took out the fabric that had been hidden in his sleeves and said: "This is the fabric torn from that person's body, it is a fine arrowroot cloth that is a specialty of Qi country, except for Qi people, no one will wear it, Lord Xiangguo, this is ironclad evidence." ”

Wu Zixu took the fabric and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was consistent with what Bo Yao said, it was fine arrowroot cloth, but he didn't panic, but threw the material to the ground casually, "A piece of clothing can prove something; Although the fine arrowroot cloth is not exported, it is not difficult to get a piece or even a piece or two of clothing. ”

"In addition to physical evidence, there are also human witnesses." As soon as Bo Ya's words fell, Wu Zixu sneered: "Don't ask, it must be your person, what is the meaning of such a person's witness; Bo Yao, you are really going back more and more, if the old man wants to cooperate with the enemy, how can he wait until today! ”

Bo Yao was angry again and again, he was furious, and he was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly thought of something, yes, he still held a trump card in his hand that was enough to kill Wu Zixu, why should he be angry.

Thinking of this, Bo Yao suppressed his anger, and said with a smile: "Since the Xiangguo adults keep saying that they have never collaborated with the enemy, and swear by the sky, do you dare to let me search the Xiangguo Mansion?" ”

Hearing this, Wu Zixu immediately raised his eyebrows and scolded, "Bold, the old man's mansion, how can you be allowed to search at will." ”

Bo Yao was not in a hurry, and said in a cold voice: "Don't dare to let me search, it means that Lord Xiangguo has a ghost in his heart, okay, I am not reluctant, but I am just troublesome Lord Xiangguo, don't pretend to say that you are 'loyal' in front of the king in the future, these two words, you ......" He sneered: "I can't afford it." ”

Wu Zixu was furious and scolded: "Presumptuous! ”

Bo Yao didn't speak, just sneered again and again, his appearance annoyed Wu Zixu more and more, and blurted out: "Okay, the old man will let you search to see what reputation you can find." ”

A hint of joy flashed in Bo Yao's eyes, "This is what Lord Xiangguo said himself, don't turn around and say that I searched the Prime Minister's Mansion privately." ”

"Don't think of the old man as you do, the old man is full of words!" As he spoke, Wu Zixu pointed to the mansion and said loudly: "Please!" ”

"Wait." The husband, who had never spoken, finally spoke up, and called Bo Yao, who was about to summon the people, only to see him frown slightly, and said in a cool voice: "What did you just say, to search the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

"Yes, Lord Xiangguo, he ......" Before Bo Ya could speak, the husband had already scolded: "Nonsense, this is Xiang's father's mansion, how can you say that you can search it?" This king came over, just to ask his father, since his old man said no, then there must be no, you are good, you actually kicked your nose in the face, there is no rules. ”

Bo Yao was scolded so much that he didn't dare to say a word, so he could only complain secretly in his heart, didn't you want to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt? Why did you become mine again at the end of the day?!

After the husband finished scolding, he said cautiously: "The king is angry, and the minister also wants to make it clear that if Lord Xiangguo really did not collaborate with the enemy and treason, the minister is willing to compensate Lord Xiangguo in front of the king." ”

"Dare to say it!" The husband glared at him and said, "When my father was alive, I didn't search my father's mansion, how dare you do this, a courtier?" This king believes in his father, he will not cooperate with the enemy! ”

Wu Zixu listened to tears on the side, and the grievances he had suffered before disappeared in an instant, and he knelt down with a choked voice, "With the king's words, the old minister has no regrets if he dies." ”

The husband hurriedly helped him up, "Father Xiang also wants to help this king expand his territory and dominate the Central Plains, how can he speak lightly." ”

Wu Zixu nodded again and again, speechless with excitement, and the husband patted his hand and said, "Okay, this matter is over, no one should mention it again." ”

Bo Yao was so anxious that he was dripping with cold sweat, if he didn't search the mansion, wouldn't everything he had arranged before be finished?

Thinking of this, Bo Yao turned his heart sideways, knelt down and said: "The minister originally used the crown as a guarantee, please ask the king to let the minister search the prime minister's mansion." ”

The husband's face turned cold, and he reprimanded: "You are still messing around here, do you really think that this king will not punish you?" Get up! ”

Bo Yao was undoubtedly afraid, but he never got up, but repeated what he just said again and again, making Fucha angry, and was about to reprimand, Wu Zixu grabbed him and said: "The king doesn't need to be angry with such a villain, the old minister can sit up straight, let him search." ”

The husband hesitated: "In this way, I am afraid that the reputation of the father will be ruined, how can this be good?" ”

Wu Zixu smiled and said proudly: "The body is not afraid of crooked shadows, the reputation of the old minister is not something that such a villain can ruin; If it is really as the villain said, if the evidence of collaborating with the enemy is found, the old minister is willing to repay the king's kindness with death. ”

The husband hesitated slightly, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, it will be according to the words of the father." After that, he turned his head to look at the happy Bo Yao, and said with a heavy gaze: "Go, if you can't find evidence, this king will take off your crown!" ”

"Yes!" Bo Yao nodded without hesitation, endured the joy in his heart and walked away quickly, and after a while, he walked in with more than ten soldiers.

Although Wu Zixu was straightforward, he was not without brains, and ordered someone to carefully search the more than ten soldiers, and after making sure that there was no problem, he let them enter the house to search, and he himself accompanied his husband in the hall to drink tea and talk, and Bo Yao was also left behind.

As time passed, the soldiers came back one after another, but they didn't find anything, which made Wu Zixu smile even more, and he even thought about how to be ruthless in the future, so that the latter would never turn over.

After another half an hour, the last soldier also returned, different from the previous soldiers, after he came in, he held a few small bamboo tubes with a solemn expression, "King Qiqi, the villain found a few letters with Qi Guo in the study. ”

Hearing this, the smile on Wu Zixu's face suddenly froze, whether he had a private connection with Qi Guo, he himself knew best, how could there be a letter? That's impossible!

Fucha also seemed to be taken aback, took the bamboo tubes and poured out the thin silk silk hidden inside, and after looking at them one by one, his face instantly became extremely ugly.

Seeing him like this, Wu Zixu, who had always been quite calm, also panicked, and was about to ask, but the husband had already thrown those few silk silks on him, and said bitterly: "You have really disappointed this king!" ”

Wu Zixu couldn't speak, and quickly picked up the silk silk, these letters were all "written" to him, both all kinds of promises to him, and also asked about the deployment of the Qi army, looking at the date, it was the time of the Battle of Ailing; One of them was even fatal, and it turned out to be to thank Wu Zixu for deliberately losing to them in the first battle.

Wu Zixu shook his head again and again, and said eagerly: "This is fake, the old minister definitely did not have an affair with Qi State, and it is clear that someone framed him." ”

Bo Yao sneered: "Lord Xiangguo said before that the evidence was insufficient, but now I have found a letter in your house, and said that someone framed him, and you really said everything." ”

Wu Zixu seemed to remember something, pointed at him and said angrily: "It's you, it must be you who deliberately put this letter in the study to frame the old man!" ”

Bo Yao spread his hands and said in a cold voice: "When this group of soldiers entered the mansion, you watched and searched it with your own eyes, and you didn't bring anything into it except for clothes; As for this mansion, it's your place, it's all your people, it's tightly guarded, and not even a fly can fly in. ”

Wu Zixu was so unable to answer his question for a while, and said angrily: "In short, the old man did not collaborate with the enemy, these are all fake." ”

Bo Yao snorted lightly, and said to his husband: "King, now that the human and material evidence is complete, please punish Wu Zixu severely." ”

This time, he directly omitted the four words "Xiangguo-sama" and directly referred to him by name.
