Chapter 309: Shadow Guard
The Son of Heaven was furious, and the blood flowed.
When he learned that someone in the palace was so bold as to poison the eldest grandson empress, the self-cultivation that he had been showing since he ascended the throne for several years disappeared in an instant.
To express Li Er's determination in one sentence, that is: even if everyone in the harem except the eldest grandson is cut down, he will never let go of a fish that slips through the net.
When this news reached Qin Hao's ears, he was stunned, he never imagined that Li Xin's casual words would have such great power, and he was stunned to solve an eternal unsolved case.
You must know that Li Shimin was only in his thirties at this time, and Empress Changsun was only in her early thirties, and she had never heard of any old diseases, but two years later, she inexplicably lay down and died, and it turned out that someone had poisoned her for a long time.
Perhaps because she was afraid that Li Shimin would kill too much in a fit of anger, Empress Changsun took the initiative to take this job on herself, and did not allow Nanya to ask about it, and she had full authority to dispose of it, hearing this, those poor people in the palace couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, Empress Changsun wanted to come with a good heart, and she would preside over the trial, and this innocent person seemed to be less implicated.
Is that really the case? Hehe, the eldest grandson queen is a tiger girl from a general, maybe she treats people too gently and generously on weekdays, so that people almost forget her ruthlessness, in just one day, the palace maids and eunuchs who were slightly suspicious in the harem were all arrested, and the palace maid who personally poisoned her had already died under torture on the same day, and what was even more excessive was that all the people who came to the palace at about the same time as her, and even those who had said hello to her within a year, were all arrested.
Qin Hao was quite happy when he heard the training, which meant that at the same time that Empress Changsun finally did not have to die young, the calculations of the Slut Alliance would also surface, as long as the evidence of the Yang family's conspiracy to poison Empress Changsun was investigated, he would not have to bother looking for any evidence of the Demon Sect, anyway, it was all a matter of click.
It's a pity that the final result still disappointed him, after investigation, this matter has nothing to do with the outside of the palace, it is completely a matter of spontaneous work by a few concubines competing for favor in the palace, and the slut alliance is just to cooperate.
As for the reason for cooperation, it is actually very simple, the eldest grandson strictly adheres to the middle palace and does not interfere in politics, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace have no future in her hands except to be slaves, the key is that she also suppresses the obedience to the affairs in the harem, so that they can't even be slaves.
The so-called slut alliance is just a few big eunuchs and palace maids, envious of the eunuchs of the former dynasty, and careerists who yearn for the scenery, naturally they don't want to have such a master on their heads, even if they are replaced by a few masters who are pinched to death.
In this way, this slut alliance is completely cold, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Yang family, except for breaking her arm, at least it didn't burn her.
On the contrary, when he was asked why he had heard such a strange name, he couldn't explain it at all, so he could only vaguely push it to hearsay, but fortunately, he was not the person in the case after all, and no one investigated it too deeply.
It's not that he doesn't want to push the boat to the Yang family, but his suspicions about the Yang family all come from the prophet of the history of later generations, and even the logic is not valid, as the Duchess of the Kingdom, he has seen a few eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and it is not easy to say whether this is a crime or not, but it is his motive for investigating this matter, which makes him quite inexplicable.
Seeing that the time for Wu Shi Tong to take office was approaching, it was too difficult to come up with a way to come up with a way at such a time, so he had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being, after all, this Yang clan was plotting the next generation, not to mention more than ten years later, and even their threat was not as big as those in Tibet.
Qin Hao didn't even think maliciously, this time he threw the Yang clan in Xining, and he didn't know if they would fight directly within the Demon Sect, it would be great if they could kill each other.
This poisoning incident of the Waste Firewood Alliance, even with the generosity of Empress Changsun, killed more than 1,000 people, so that the palace walls were full of blood, and they felt a little choked when they went to court.
It's just that this is Da Nei's business after all, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with their Nanya, and no one wants to get involved in the family affairs of the Son of Heaven, so that the strange thing is that you can kill people in the backyard as much as you want, and you can go to court as you want to go to court in front of you, and you don't mention it at all.
On the day when Wu Shi Tong took office, Qin Hao, who proposed him to take office, naturally joined the team to see him off, and even Xue Li and Xiao Wu gave each other gifts, Xue Li gave a piece of beautiful jade, which Xiao Wu gave 。。。。。 Well, it's a bag of dried fruit preserves.
Looking at the two of them's 'two little guesses', Wu Shi Tong was actually quite happy, and talked to Qin Hao a lot about the economic construction of Xining City and the opening of a supermarket along the way, this Wu Shi Tong was born as a businessman, although he was a little older, but he actually had a common language with Qin Hao.
So, after ten miles of send-off, Qin Hao, who had just had a good time talking with Wu Shi Tong, turned his face and found a shadow, and ordered lightly: "Find two people and go and kill Wu Shun." ”
The so-called shadow is Qin Hao's escort team, since the last time he was assassinated by a fake Taoist priest, Qin Hao's personal safety has also been taken seriously, although the front yard of his house is guarded by Su Dingfang, but after all, he is also a Zhonglang general, and he can't be a bodyguard, so his intimate father-in-law prepared such a shadow guard for him.
Qin Hao's understanding of martial arts is about zero, but according to Li Xiaogong, these shadow guards are all from his own soldiers, even if they are not as good as Li Shimin's hundred horses, but at least they will not be weaker than ordinary Xuanjia horses.
Wu Shun actually got married before Wu Shi Tong took office, I heard that it was already negotiated, generally speaking, as long as this woman is married, she will spill out of the water, and naturally she will not follow her to take office, but this woman is also married to a Gong Cao of the Yue Palace, which makes Qin Hao very jealous, after all, taking the heir is the origin of everything.
While Li Tai was still in Yangzhou, the defense level of the Yue Wangfu was not high, Qin Hao simply slaughtered the person, and it was much easier to kill a Gongcao's daughter-in-law than to kill a daughter-in-law.
This shadow guard leader is about forty years old, it is said that he once saved Li Xiaogong's life, it is said that after the world was pacified, he could have been crowned a captain of about eight grades, but people regarded themselves as domestic slaves, saying that they would not be officials, but lived in the Hejian palace and became a retainer similar to worship.
Li Xiaogong was able to send this person over to Qin Hao, which was enough to show that he took a fancy to Qin Hao, as the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son, and he is naturally a family member, and if he tells this retainer, this person will naturally not ask why.
Just nodded, and the shadow guard didn't speak again, but Qin Hao knew that this man had always done things safely, and if nothing else, he would have heard the bad news of Wu Shun's tragic death tomorrow morning.
