Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, the husband became more and more anxious, and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Yiguang hesitated for a moment, and pretended to be relaxed: "Don't worry, the queen mother's condition is not very serious, as long as you keep a cheerful mood and take it on time, you can slowly recover." "The truth must be told to the husband, but not in front of the Queen Mother.

"That's good." The husband almost didn't know what Yiguang was thinking, but the Queen Mother was really fine, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The Queen Mother took a deep look at Yiguang and said, "Life is in the world, and there is a number of life and death, so grandchildren don't need to care too much." ”

"Grandmother will live a long life." As soon as the husband's voice fell, he saw Wu Rong walk in and said coquettishly: "Rong'er asks grandmother for peace." ”

"Come, come." The Queen Mother liked Wu Rong very much, and immediately smiled and beckoned her to come closer, and even looked a little better.

After saying something considerate, Wu Rong deliberately pulled the topic to Guanwa Palace, "Grandmother, Rong'er wants to go to Guanwa Palace to have a look, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

The Queen Mother said disapprerovingly: "You are the county lord, why not?" ”

"Thank you, grandmother." Saying that, Wu Rong said to her husband again: "Brother Fu sent me to go with me, we haven't gone out for a long time." ”

"This king still has something to do, you can go by yourself." Wu Rong's refusal made Wu Rong look disappointed, and looked at the Queen Mother aggrievedly, who couldn't bear it, and said to her husband: "It's rare that Rong'er is interested, so you can accompany her for a walk." ”

"Yes." Seeing that the Queen Mother opened her mouth, her husband had to agree.

Hearing this, Wu Rong suddenly turned his anger into joy, and said happily: "Thank you, grandmother." ”

The Queen Mother patted Wu Rong's hand pityingly, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm." Wu Rong responded, and quietly glanced at Yiguang, the Queen Mother knew her thoughts, and said, "Yiguang, don't go, stay here to talk to the mourning family." ”

After Yiguang agreed, Wu Rong hurriedly took her husband to the Guanwa Palace, and when she got there, she happened to see Rouge looking around with a cloak, Wu Rong's heart moved, and she walked over and said, "What are you looking for?" ”

Rouge hurriedly saluted, "The slave maid went to get the cloak at the beautie's word just now, and she couldn't find the beauty when she came back." ”

"Look around, can such a big person still be gone?"

Rouge shook his head and said: "The slave and maid have been looking for it everywhere, and they have also asked people, but they all said that they have not seen it, as if they disappeared out of thin air." ”

"That's weird." Wu Rong glanced around and said, "The Guanwa Palace has not yet been built, and it should be easy to find at a glance, so it won't fly to the sky." ”

The husband also felt strange, and asked Wang Shen to ask the foreman here, and after a while, Wang Shen came back and said: "King Qiqi, the foreman said that he had seen Zheng Meiren, but then he couldn't see it, he had already asked people to find it, and he would report it as soon as there was news." ”

The husband almost nodded, and waited like this for nearly half an hour, but he never saw the Zheng family, and such a strangeness made the suspicion in the husband's eyes more and more suspicious.

People will not disappear out of thin air, they cannot be found everywhere, there are only two possibilities, one is to go to heaven, and the other is to enter the earth, Zheng Dan...... Which one is it?

Wu Rong had been paying attention to his husband's expression, and when he saw that he was suspicious, he was happy in his heart, and was about to speak, when a happy voice suddenly came from afar, "Found it!" Got it! ”

Following the prestige, it turned out to be Zheng Dan, who could not be found, she stepped forward quickly, bowed her head with a frightened face, "Let the king worry and worry, it is really a crime that deserves death." ”

Fucha stared at her with a cold face, "Where did you go just now?" ”

"After the concubine came to the Guanwa Palace, she asked people to lead the way, wanting to look around, and unconsciously walked to the north moat and came back only to know that the king sent people to look around, and the concubine was guilty."

"Who led the way?" Hearing the husband's inquiry, a craftsman in a rough coat behind Zheng Dan stepped forward tremblingly and said, "Yes...... It's the villain. As he spoke, he knelt down with a thud and said with a frightened face: "The villain is guilty, ask the king for mercy." ”

Before the husband could speak, Wu Rong had already said sharply: "The moat is not far from here, and it won't even take half an hour to come and go, why does it take so long, it's obviously a lie." ”

The craftsman was frightened by her accusation, and desperately waved his hand to deny it, "Even if the villain has the courage to deceive the king, he really went to the moat." ”

Zheng Dan said on the side: "It's all to blame for the concubines, seeing that there are fish swimming in the moat, which is very interesting, so I stopped and watched for a while." ”

"That's it, you've seen the Guanwa Palace, go back." Seeing that her husband had believed Zheng Dan's words, Wu Rong was in a hurry and hurriedly said: "Brother Fucha, don't believe her words, look at her sneaky appearance, there must be something to hide." ”

The husband said suspiciously: "What can she hide?" ”

Wu Rong didn't know how to answer for a while, so he said, "Anyway, there must be a problem." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and said, "Get the whip!" ”

Fucha's face changed, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Since good words are useless, there is only torture, and under severe punishment, I am not afraid that she will not be recruited." Before Wu Rong's words fell, the husband scolded: "What kind of punishment is used in a good manner, it's just nonsense!" ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing." The husband almost interrupted her without saying anything, "Go back to your glass pavilion immediately, don't mess around anymore." ”

"I'm not messing around, if she has a clear conscience, why bother to deliberately split the rouge." Wu Rong's words did not convince the husband, and the latter said coldly: "Wang Shen, send the county lord back to the Liuli Pavilion to rest, without the words of the king, she is not allowed to come out." ”

No matter how Ren Wurong spoke, the husband was always unmoved, and after they left, Zheng Dan pressed his chest with palpitations, soothing the heart that was beating wildly inside.

Fortunately, Yiguang delivered the letter in time, otherwise she and the secret passage would have to be exposed, but it was just ...... How did Wu Rong know? I have no dealings with her.

When Wen Chong was building the Guanwa Palace, he quietly arranged a group of craftsmen to build a secret passage in order to contact, and this time Zheng Dan went to the secret passage to meet him.

While he was still talking, the housekeeper who was guarding outside suddenly came in with a mountain bee, which was dyed red with a red pen, and looked like a drop of blood, which was shocking.

According to the butler, the bee had flown in from the direction of the palace and had been banging on the door of the secret room, and when he saw that something was wrong, he hurried in to report it.

For more than a year, they are domesticating mountain bees in order to better transmit the message, after a long period of training, this group of mountain bees is more and more psychic, and the pursuit of "honey to incense" is also more sensitive, the text is equipped with a sachet with honey to incense, this mountain bee is following this, but the way is blocked by the stone gate.

The bee flew from the direction of the palace, it must have come from the hand of Yiguang, and she dyed the bee red, obviously something was wrong, he hurriedly asked a craftsman named Niu Si to send Zheng Dan out, that is, the craftsman who answered in front of the husband with Zheng Dan; Before leaving, he made up a lie of "stopping by the moat" to hide from the world.

Speaking of Wu Rong, after she went back, she was unwilling, but she was grounded by her husband and was not allowed to step out of the Liuli Pavilion, so she asked her henchman to go out of the palace to tell Wu Zixu about it and ask him to find a way.

At night, Niu Si finished his work as usual, rubbed his sore shoulders and prepared to go to the shed to eat, but unexpectedly halfway through, he was suddenly knocked unconscious from behind, and when he woke up, he was already in a strange room, there were several people in the house, and an old man was sitting on the top, drinking tea slowly.

Niu Si recognized the old man and exclaimed, "Wu Xiangguo? ”

Wu Zixu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The eyesight is good." ”

"Up and down the Wu Kingdom, no one knows Wu Xiangguo." Niu Si said flatteringly, but his heart was turbulent, Wu Zixu was in a high position, and he couldn't even look at a craftsman like him, but now he deliberately brought him over, could it be ...... Is it because of the daytime? But didn't King Wu already believe it?

While thinking about it, Wu Zixu's words sounded in his ears, "Do you know why the old man asked people to bring you here?" ”

Niu Si said cautiously: "The villain is stupid, please show it to Lord Xiangguo." ”

Wu Zixu glanced at Gongsun Li, who understood, took the bamboo slip on the table, and read: "Niu Si, Jiangning people, twenty-seven years old, both parents died, cut wood for a living, came to Gusu two years ago, because of the poverty of the family, has never married a wife. After that, he looked up at Niu Si who was full of surprise, "Is what is recorded in the household register right?"

Niu Si nodded, and then stammered: "Villain...... But what happened? ”

"You know if you've committed a crime or not." Saying that, Gongsun left and said: "According to the records in the book, when you were in your hometown, you always used to chop firewood and sell it in the market, how come you can build a house when you get to Gusu?" ”

Niu Si's eyes trembled, and he bowed his head and said, "The villain learned from a master." As soon as the words fell, Gongsun Li asked like a cannon: "Which master, who is the surname, and where does the family live?" ”

"The villain doesn't know, but he happened to meet it and taught some superficial skills." Facing Niu Si's answer, Wu Zixu smiled slightly, "Do you know what the old man is thinking now?" ”

"The villain doesn't know."

Looking at Niu Si, who had never dared to raise his head, Wu Zixu slowly said four words, "Steal the beam and change the pillar." ”

Hearing this, Niu Si suddenly clenched his hands hanging by his side, and only let go of them for a long time, and said with a forced smile: "The villain has never read a book, so he can't understand the words of Lord Xiangguo." ”

Wu Zixu quietly took his small actions into his eyes, "The meaning is very simple, someone killed Niu Si and then used his identity." ”

"The villain is really Niu Si, and he is not pretending." Niu Si endured the huge fear in his heart and bowed down and shouted injustice.

Wu Zixu is such a character, how could he not see his thoughts, and said indifferently: "It is not difficult to know whether you are Niu Si or not; According to the old man's investigation, there is a birthmark on Niu Si's chest, which can be known at a check. ”

Without waiting for Niu Si to speak, Gongsun Li stepped forward and tore open his clothes, his chest was clean, not to mention birthmarks, not even a mole; Gongsun Li said compassionately: "You are really not Niu Si!" ”

This time, Niu Si was really frightened to death, it has been calm for the past two years, and even he almost believed that he was Niu Si, but he never expected that he would be pierced by someone.

Wu Zixu said with a smile: "If the old man is not mistaken, you should be a Yue person, let's say, where did the Zheng family go today?" Who gave you time to confess? ”

In fact, Niu Si did not have any birthmarks on his body, he deliberately made up Niu Si, and sure enough, he hit the trick and exposed the horse's feet.

Niu Si swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Zheng Meiren...... She went to nurse ...... Before he finished his words, he had already received a heavy kick on his body, and it was Gongsun Li, "When he died, he was still full of nonsense."...... ”

"Don't be rude." After drinking and retiring from Gongsun Li, Wu Zixu clapped his hands, and immediately two subordinates came in carrying a box, and after opening it, it was a box full of copper coins, as well as gold and silver and other things, Niu Si had never seen so much money in his life, and suddenly looked straight.

"The old man has always had clear grievances, as long as you tell the truth, this box is yours, you take the money to marry a wife and have children, and live a worry-free life from now on."

Niu Si swallowed his saliva and forced himself to look away, he was afraid that he would be unable to help but change his mind if he looked at it more, "The villain knows everything he has said, I really don't know what else to say." ”

Wu Zixu put down the teacup, got up and walked in front of Niu Si, he was tall and in a top position all the year round, and there was an invisible coercion that made Niu Si tremble uncontrollably.

"Either you take this box of money to live, or you become a corpse, you think carefully and then answer the old man." Wu Zixu's words were like a talisman, which made the fear in Niu Si's heart continue to expand, and it was almost unbearable.

After a long time, Niu Si raised his head and said, "Lord Xiangguo really won't kill villains?" ”

"Once the word is spoken, the horse is hard to chase!" Hearing this answer, Niu Si finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the villain said, Zheng Meiren ...... her"

"Whew!" A sharp arrow that almost blended into the night broke through the window and shot into the heart of Niu Simei's eyebrows with unmistakable accuracy, and the latter turned into a corpse without even shouting, not even knowing how he died.

"There are assassins!" Gongsun Li shouted and immediately chased out, Wu Zixu looked at Niu Si who fell on his back with a grim face, this is the second time, and Yalan was also suddenly assassinated before, ruining all his plans.

Gongsun Li didn't come back until the second watch, and said with a solemn face: "Lord Qi Xiangguo, the lowly duty chased all the way, and when he was about to catch up, the assassin fled into the Dazaifu, and the lowly did not dare to go in and search at will, so he could only let people surround the Dazaifu, so as not to let the assassin escape." ”

Wu Zixu's eyes flashed, and he brushed his sleeves and said, "The old man will go on a trip himself." ”

When he arrived at Dazaifu, without waiting for the gatekeeper to report, Wu Zixu strode in, and the guards knew that he was in a high position and did not dare to forcibly stop him, so they had to hurry to inform Bo Yao.

Yan Ji happened to come back from drinking with someone, and when he saw this scene, he was surprised and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Gongsun Li had some friendship with him, and said: "I chased an assassin just now, and when I saw him fleeing into Dazaifu, I was afraid that I would hurt Dazai-sama and Brother Yanji, so I came in to arrest him. ”

Yan Ji exclaimed: "There is such a thing, do you know where he fled into?" ”

"North Backyard." Gongsun Li's answer made Yan Ji raise his eyebrows, and then he arched his hand at Wu Zixu and said: "The thief assassinated Lord Xiangguo, that is, he was the enemy of the entire Wu Kingdom, and everyone was punished, and the younger generation will take you over." ”

"Okay." Wu Zixu bowed his head and followed him to the north backyard, and after a few knocks, Fanlou walked out, and saw Wu Zixu said with surprise on his face: "Lord Xiangguo, why are you here?" ”
