Chapter 5 Tricked and Self-defeating
On the evening of May 18 in the first year of Chongzhen, at the Wellcome Inn in Da X County, Shuntianfu, Xiao Mu was pacing around the house alone, like ants on a hot pot, and it had been four hours since he received the threatening letter. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After discovering that Lin Ye was missing, Xiao Mu was at a loss, and even had the idea of committing suicide to apologize - if something really happened to Lin Ye. Fortunately, Wang Chengen was quite calm, on the one hand, he comforted Xiao Mu, and on the other hand, he suggested waiting for the robbers' transaction information for the time being, so as to avoid startling the snakes, and at the same time let Yang Tao and Hu Yun and others go out to secretly find and find out the news. Xiao Mu didn't have any other good way, so he adopted Wang Chengen's suggestion.
Then the long wait began.
"Someone!" After four hours, Xiao Mu finally broke out, and there was no news for a long time, he felt that if he waited like this, he would collapse sooner or later.
"Young Master." Wang Chengen took Yang Tao and Hu Yun into the room.
"Haven't you heard from Madame yet?" Xiao Mu asked eagerly.
"Back to the young master, Yang Tao and Hu Yun each led people to look for Fang Fang in the south and north of the city, but they didn't find any news about the young lady."
"The villain is incompetent, and he deserves death!" Yang Tao and Hu Yun knelt down.
"Did the thief send a ransom deal?" Xiao Mu ignored the two of them and asked Wang Chengen again.
"Back to the young master, not yet." Wang Chengen gave another disappointed answer.
Xiao Mu coughed violently twice, only to feel that his eyes were dark, and his body shook, Wang Chengen hurriedly stepped forward to help him, helped Xiao Mu to sit down in front of the chair, and then said: "Young master, please take your body first, rest in peace, the old slave will continue to step up the arrangement of people to investigate, and immediately inform the young master as soon as there is news." ”
Xiao Mu sat down and waved his hand, not agreeing with Wang Chengen's suggestion.
"Madame is missing, life and death are uncertain, how can I rest in peace? It's been four hours now, and there's still no news, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that Madame will be more than lucky...... You can't wait any longer, Otomo, do you have any other plans? ”
Wang Chengen thought for a while and said, "Young master, the thief behaves abnormally, and he has not asked for the news of the transaction to be sent; In addition, we have limited manpower, and we are not familiar with the characters such as the head snake and the king of the mountain in this big X county, and we don't dare to look for it in a big way in order to avoid startling the snake, and it is difficult to find the trace of the young lady for a while, and I am afraid that it will change if it drags on. The old slave thought that for the sake of today, there was only ......" Wang Chengen said halfway, and then he hesitated, looked up at Xiao Mu, and his expression was complicated.
"Only what? Otomo but it doesn't hurt to say. Xiao Mu said urgently.
I saw Wang Chengen kneeling down in front of Xiao Mu, kowtowing and saying, "Long live the lord!" For today's plan, only long live you show your identity, and order the officials to cooperate to find the whereabouts of the queen's mother, the local government must know something about the scoundrel and the grass-headed king here, so that his participation in the search for and rescue of the mother must be twice the result with half the effort! ”
Xiao Mu was stunned for a moment.
"Long live, the queen is pregnant, if there is a mistake, it will shake my Ming foundation, it is related to the safety of the Ming Society, please think twice!" Wang Chengen said while crying, and kowtowed again and again.
"Please think twice!" Yang Tao and Hu Yun also kowtowed and said.
Xiao Mu didn't expect that what Wang Chengen said meant this, and while he was shocked, he thought of what Lin Yi said yesterday:
"At the end of the dynasty, the world was chaotic, for the emperor, there was no safer place than the palace, and now you have a small retinue, just run out so simply, it is easy to be plotted, and you can't even get into a pit with me......"
It seems that he insisted on running out of the palace really recklessly, and sure enough, it affected the people around him, Xiao Mu blamed himself and regretted it, and hurriedly helped Wang Chengen up, only to see Wang Chengen crying nonstop, his eyes were red and swollen, and there were slight blood stains oozing from his forehead.
"The big companion is reasonable, you and me, cough, go to the Da X County Ya with me, and let Daxingzhi County send people to search for the whereabouts of the queen together, and then urgently order Shuntian Mansion Yin to send people to investigate in other states and counties, we must rescue the queen and ensure that the mother and son are safe and sound!" Xiao Mu said.
"Yes!" The joy of Wang Chengen and Yang Tao and Hu Yun behind him was beyond words.
Xiao Mu was about to leave for Da X County, Wang Chengen suggested that Yang Tao and Hu Yun go first, and let Daxing Zhi County prepare to take over in advance, Xiao Mu felt reasonable, Wang Chengen gave the two of them a look, and the two nodded and went out first.
When Xiao Mu arrived at the Da X County Ya, although it was already night, Daxingzhi County was already greeting him.
"Weichen Daxing Zhi County Liang Yuehao, meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."
Xiao Mu waved his hand to signal that there was no need to be polite: "No courtesy." ”
Entering the county office, Xiao Mu sat on the main seat of the original county, and the rest of the people waited or sat or stood, on both sides, Xiao Mu was about to open his mouth to discuss with everyone about finding and rescuing Lin Ye, only to see Wang Chengen stand up first, kneeling on the ground, Xiao Mu didn't know what he meant.
"The slave and maid are guilty of capital crimes, please punish them by the saints." Wang Chengen kowtowed and said.
Xiao Mu said: "The queen's abduction has nothing to do with you, get up quickly, and discuss with me how to save people." But Wang Chengen didn't get up, which made Xiao Mu very puzzled.
However, Xiao Mu's doubts did not last long,......
"The minister comes to the sect / Luo Yang, knock to see the emperor." Looking at the kneeling cabinet chief assistant and Jinyi guard commander below, Xiao Mu finally understood what Wang Chengen meant, it turned out that he had been betrayed, and his traces seemed to have been secretly told by him.
"Okay, wow, you're here to play a game and invite you into the urn!" Xiao Mu said angrily.
"The slave is guilty and willing to be punished."
When Xiao Mu was thinking about how to deal with Wang Chengen, he heard Zong Dao say: "Your Majesty, the ministers are brave and beg the emperor to move back to the palace, the emperor is my Ming billion......
"I'll leave that at that." Xiao Mu immediately interrupted.
Lai Zongdao was about to continue to reply, Xiao Mu walked down the hall, and Zong Dao and others helped him up: "Aiqing doesn't know, now the queen has been kidnapped by thieves, and her whereabouts are unknown, since Aiqing is here, let's discuss together to rescue the queen, as for whether to return to the palace or not, we will talk about it after finding the queen." ”
"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are still guilty......" At this time, Wang Chengen spoke again.
"What else do you have to hide from me, tell it all in one breath......" I don't know what high-powered answer Wang Chengen will bring, Xiao Mu feels that in short, Wang Chengen definitely has the potential to win the actor, and he is about to be fooled and numb.
"Back to the emperor, the queen mother was not taken away by thieves, but the slave maid saw that the emperor was resolute, and in order to persuade the emperor to change his mind, he discussed with the queen mother, and then made this decision, pretending that the mother was missing...... The slave and maid committed the crime of defrauding the king, and the crime deserves death, but I implore the emperor to return to the palace to manage the government, the emperor is in danger of the safety of the Ming Society, please think twice. ”
"And where is the queen now?" Xiao Mu asked.
"The queen mother is safe and sound, and has been waiting for news in the private room of Hongyuan Restaurant in the city, and the slave maid has already ordered Hu Yun to meet ......"
What is it like to be played together by the whole world? No one is more profound than Xiao Mu's current experience, which makes Xiao Mu feel light and fluttering under his feet, as if the clouds are driving the fog......
"Your Majesty!" A group of people hurriedly stepped forward to support Xiao Mu, and the scene was chaotic.
……
At this time, Lin Yi was in a house at the back of Hongyuan Restaurant, but she didn't know where she was, because she was really robbed .......
After Lin Yi crossed over to understand the basic situation, he thought that Xiao Mu's behavior of leaving the palace was simply inexplicable, and there was no reason at all: it was just Xiao Mu's panic in the face of the great changes in the environment. Therefore, the top priority is to quickly let Xiao Mu stop messing around outside, and let him return to the palace as soon as possible is serious, Lin Yi dared to guarantee that he had never had any thoughts such as "hurry up and fool Xiao Mu back, and I can see what the ancient palace is like as soon as possible".
Wang Chengen and others of course hope that Xiao Mu will return to the palace as soon as possible, for the personal eunuchs of the emperor of the feudal dynasty, there is nothing more important than the safety of the emperor, and leaving the palace itself is the most unsafe thing, whether it is for the emperor or for himself, the so-called "skin does not exist, Mao will be attached?" The master is gone, and the slave and maid himself will not have to live. As for the abdication edict left by Xiao Mu from the palace, Wang Chengen directly ignored it, there will always be only one emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and that is the master he is serving now.
So today, after Lin Yi also expressed his disapproval of Xiao Mu's approach, the two hit it off.
In order to achieve the goal of letting Xiao Mu return to the palace as soon as possible to continue to be the emperor, Lin Yi proposed to act in a scene of being kidnapped and missing, himself as the chief director, producer and actor, Xiao Mu as the leading actor (without knowing it), and Wang Chengen, as an old drama bone, played an important role in promoting the development of the plot, and Yang Taohuyun and others acted as the dragon set.
Of course, this kind of coaxing and deception is not a big deal for Lin Yi: it is completely possible to hide Xiao Mu from letting him know, and even if it is discovered, it can be interpreted as a white lie, after all, he is doing it for his good, and there is no big truth to talk about such as the emperor being the people of the world, Lin Ye feels that even if Xiao Mu finds out, he will definitely not do anything to himself. Besides, there is one more thing that Lin Ye knows: Xiao Mu, the emperor, is a fake himself, so Lin Ye has no worries.
But Wang Chengen didn't think so, such behavior was undoubtedly a rebellious crime of bullying the emperor in his eyes, if someone dared to deceive the emperor in the past, he hated to peel his skin and cramp and eat his flesh raw. Now that he wants to do such a thing himself, Wang Chengen almost immediately refused. But in a blink of an eye, I thought that the emperor was going to abandon the throne and run out of the palace, I don't know how many wolf ambitious people would take the opportunity to make trouble after knowing it, and they were anxious in their eyes, and now the queen mother proposed a way to make the emperor change his mind, which is indeed good for the emperor, Wang Chengen agreed to cooperate - the idea is what the queen mother thinks, how can she interfere in the master's family affairs as a slave, and it is a big deal to apologize to the emperor with death afterwards, I believe that the emperor will be able to feel his loyalty sooner or later.
Of course, Wang Chengen's heart was tormented, Lin Yi must not be able to understand, and after discussing some details of pretending to be tied up with Wang Chengen, he made a mess of the original inn room, but in fact, he came to the private room of this Hongyun Restaurant to live temporarily, and then sent Xiao Mu a letter pretending to be a kidnapper, in order to make Xiao Mu more anxious, and made up Yunyun, who was pregnant, this trick was really powerful, making Xiao Mu lose his ground.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, these camouflage techniques are very rough, and it is not difficult to find flaws, but Xiao Mu really hit the trick, and he was very flustered, without the slightest suspicion - sure enough, the best performance is the performance of his true colors, and it seems that the best male pig's foot award is none other than Xiao Mu.
Everything was going well, and the work directed by him was about to be released, and when he was looking forward to the celebration reception, the award ceremony, and the selection of the best male and female pig's feet, Lin Yi felt dizzy, and then fell asleep, and when he woke up, he no longer knew where he was......
