Summary of the previous chapter: Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse ordered his emperor Zhu Youzhen to be responsible for a thorough investigation of the matter, and Ma Xiaoquan assisted Zhu Youzhen
++++++++++++++++++ Zhu Youzhen's eyebrows moved slightly, although Ma Xiaoquan's words just now were not too clear, but he heard them very clearly.
Zhu Youzhen wants to be the emperor, but his brother is still alive, and he can't achieve the wish of the Ninety-Five.
"Well, Ma Xiaoquan, your idea is good, not bad~" Zhu Youzhen nodded and praised him.
Ma Xiaoquan said respectfully: "Lord Wang, as long as the treasury is full, the war on Ningyuan's side will not be tense~"
Zhu Youzhen nodded: "You are right, um, but rashly embezzling other people's property, I am afraid that it will be laughed at by the world, in the past, Grandpa Gaozu brutalized Shen Wansan, which has already caused a lot of fluctuations." ”
Ma Xiaoquan groaned: "Lord Wang, that's all in the past, even if you say it now, I'm afraid it's meaningless, what you said about embezzling the Zhang family's property, this is indeed a bit tricky, of course, the subordinates are not talking about embezzling all their property, and being a man has to leave a way out." ”
"Okay, then you can give me a good investigation of this matter~ The investigation is clear, let's talk about it~"
"Yes~" Ma Xiaoquan raised his head, looked at Zhu Youzhen, and suddenly asked, "Lord Wang, my subordinates have a question, I don't know if to talk about it?" ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Hmm~ Then the subordinate said that the prince, the subordinate is a little curious, why do you prepare the 'wild landscape'?"
Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a moment, and there was a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes, and then it flashed.
"Oh, I just bought a can~" Zhu Youzhen said insincerely.
"Oh~" Ma Xiaoquan sighed softly and stopped talking
Out of the palace, Ma Xiaoquan and Zhu Youzhen parted ways.
Walking to a remote place, a black shadow suddenly jumped out and stood respectfully in front of Ma Xiaoquan.
"Master~" The black shadow saw Ma Xiaoquan and bowed slightly respectfully.
Ma Xiaoquan asked quietly, "How's the investigation?" Did Shin Wang's 'Wild Landscape' be bought from the Zhang family's shop? ”
"Back to the master, King Xin's 'wild landscape' was indeed purchased from the Zhang family, but after King Xin bought the water, he did not take it directly into the palace, but went to an inn and rested in the inn for a while."
"And then?" Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes and continued to ask.
"I went to the inn to investigate, and found some remnants of the powder in the place where King Shin stayed."
"Powder? What powder? ”
"Back to the master's words, it's arsenic powder~"
"Arsenic? This is poison, what is King Xin doing with arsenic? ”
"Master, my subordinates investigated again, and later inquired that King Xin put a little arsenic into the 'wild landscape'"
"Hiss~~" Ma Xiaoquan bared his teeth and said in surprise, "The 'wild landscape' is for the emperor to drink, so the arsenic under the king of the letter in the water"
Ma Xiaoquan's face suddenly sank, and asked, "Who else knows about this?" ”
"Back to the master, except for the master and his subordinates, no one else knows."
"Very good, this matter is over, well, go back to the young grandmother of Qinghan to receive the reward, by the way, your mother's illness, I have also found the best doctor"
"The subordinates thank the master, and they will not hesitate to go to the soup for the master~"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand, and the black shadow quietly retreated.
"Hmph~~" Ma Xiaoquan pursed his lips and muttered, "Zhu Youxiao has been the emperor for almost seven years, and then he has a lot of theories about the cause of his death in history, and it is recognized that his health is not good, this is all guessed by historians, in fact, Zhu Youxiao's health is very good, I finally know, it turns out that Zhu Youxiao's death was planned by Zhu Youzhen, it is really vicious, it seems that there is a custom for the old Zhu brothers to kill each other."
Ma Xiaoquan's investigation and judgment are very accurate, and today Zhu Youzhen got the "wild landscape", and it was he who personally mixed a little arsenic.
The main ingredient of arsenic is arsenic, if you take arsenic for a long time, you will be chronically poisoned until you finally die, although the ancient people knew the horror of arsenic, but there are still many Qinglou women who take arsenic, because this can make the skin white, in the past in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Ximen Wuxian, who gave birth to Ma Hao, gave birth to Ma Xiaoquan, and once swallowed a lot of arsenic.
Back at Ma's house, Ma Xiaoquan summoned Li Qinghan's three daughters into the study to discuss specific matters.
When talking about the Zhang family's business, Li Qinghan asked: "Ma Xiaoquan, since King Xin asked you to investigate, how will you investigate?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "The Zhang family has a lot of minions in the imperial court, and now I don't know if their minions have infiltrated the Jinyi Guard, so tomorrow, I plan to clean up the disloyal ones in the Jinyi Guard." ”
"But," Bei Mingshuang interjected, "Ma Xiaoquan, although you are the deacon of Jinyiwei, in terms of power, you may not be as good as Tian Ergeng and Longtian. ”
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly: "Having said that, but I can do things under the banner of the emperor and the king of letters, well~~ It's a big deal to let the emperor draw up a holy decree, which is just a very simple matter." ”
"But Tian Ergeng is Wei Zhongxian's person, and Wei Zhongxian is also the secretary of the ceremony, Ma Xiaoquan, if you want to draft a holy decree, I'm afraid it's not realistic, right?"
As soon as Bei Mingshuang reminded him, Ma Xiaoquan remembered the relationship between Tian Ergeng and Wei Zhongxian.
"Hmm~~ Then it's really hard to spread your hands and feet~" Ma Xiaoquan pondered.
Dongfang Qingxue blinked her big eyes and said: "Ma Xiaoquan, there is no joke, in fact, this thing is very simple to do, as long as you let the emperor express his position in front of Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng and other Jinyi Wei officials, then the investigation can be done." ”
"Huh? Why didn't I think of it, Qingxue, you are so smart, okay, then I will go to see the emperor tomorrow. ”
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan met the emperor in front of the palace early in the morning.
Zhu Youxiao rarely went to the court, and generally studied his carpentry work in the Yangxin Palace, but due to the recent war in Ningyuan, the carpenter emperor finally put down his work, moved to the Qianqing Palace, and discussed countermeasures with his ministers.
Ma Xiaoquan did not meet the emperor in the Yangxin Palace, and was told that the emperor was in the Qianqing Palace.
Hearing this news, Ma Xiaoquan was secretly happy in his heart.
As a deacon of Jinyiwei, he can go to court or not, because Jinyiwei is not a very glorious institution. Last night, Dongfang Qingxue's Jian yì was in front of Wei Zhongxian, Tian Ergeng and a few others, but now it's okay, the ministers are here, even if Ma Xiaoquan can not go to the court, he will go to the court today, in front of the ministers, let the emperor promise to check the team of Jinyiwei.
"Hmph~~ Showing the edge, it's time for me to show the edge~~" The corners of Ma Xiaoquan's mouth raised slightly.
