Chapter 53: Who is the mole
Qin Fei closed the doors and windows, sighed and said, "The reason for Tai Bujing is that Liu Ji hates the prince to the death, and he has already formed an alliance with Yingyang Jun. Jing Yuan pretended to surrender to the prince, and lied that Yingyangjun wrote the wrong dosage of the tonic sent to Liu Ji to kill her, so he wanted to kill Yingyangjun to take revenge. The straw bale prince, who had no right-hand man, rushed to the hospital in a hurry, so he naturally believed him. The prince's voluntary grounding was to listen to Jing Yuan's words, which undoubtedly laid the foundation for Liu Xiwei's framing. ”
Xiang Chonghua frowned and said, "And then?" ”
Qin Fei said: "Then Taibu lied that he found out that Liu Xiwei would rebel tomorrow night to kidnap the king, and agreed with Liu Xiqi to use fireworks as a signal, so that he would make up for the victory for King Qi and annihilate the Yingyang Monarch's Mansion in one fell swoop." The prince will definitely come. ”
Xiang Chonghua took a breath and said, "Wouldn't this plan be what you came up with?" ”
Qin Fei smiled bitterly: "It was Yingyangjun's own idea. He's definitely a tough opponent. ”
Xiang Chonghua said: "But why didn't he tell me?" Could it be that he was suspicious of me? ”
Qin Fei's eyes were full of sadness and said, "He shouldn't know your identity." I don't tell you just because I'm afraid you'll be upset. ”
Xiang Chonghua was stunned for a moment, and immediately changed color and said: "Could it be Jingyuan ......?"
Qin Fei sighed and said, "Taibu Jingyuan will tearfully state his crime of being bribed by the crown prince. Including his framing of Yingyangjun at the Tian Hunting Ceremony and colluding with him to attack the palace. ”
Xiang Chonghua said: "Then doesn't he want to affect the whole clan?" ”
Qin Fei said: "Yingyang Jun has promised him that he will definitely keep the glory and wealth of the Jing family. Moreover, after confessing his sins, Taibu will kill himself before the king. After all, King Qi is an emotional person. ”
Xiang Chonghua took a few steps back and said in a daze: "I see, Liu Xiwei is worried that after I know it, he will be emotional and ruin his plan." ”
Qin Fei said solemnly: "Not bad." But I'm desperate to take this risk to tell you the truth. Chonghua, if you want to get to the top, you have to accept this kind of thing. Otherwise you will lose badly sooner or later. ”
Xiang Chonghua grabbed his shirt and said, "How can you let me accept it!" Accept to deceive an innocent person, accept to take advantage of someone else's feelings? ”
Qin Fei grabbed his hand and said with red eyes: "I might as well tell you that we are also accomplices in this matter." Liu Ji was targeted by Liu Xiwei precisely because of that hairpin. Why she died 'suddenly', you should understand by now, right? To grow the most beautiful flowers, how can hands not be polluted by the soil? The victories of those who have reached the pinnacle of power are all watered with countless blood. If you stop Jing Yuan now, it will only plunge him into extreme despair and anger, so why not fulfill him and let him die peacefully in the satisfaction of revenge! ”
He pushed Xiang Chonghua away, kicked open the door, pointed outside and said: "I also told you the matter, is it to find Jing Yuan to fulfill your poor conscience, so that you and I will lose the trust of Yingyangjun from now on, or let him smile at Jiuquan and write a beautiful stroke for your good future!" You choose for yourself, Qin Fei is willing to accompany you. ”
Xiang Chonghua stared at the dazzling sunlight outside the door, and the fingers that burst out of the green tendons grabbed his hair fiercely and rubbed it vigorously. Twist. Qin Fei looked at him coldly, and his hands were clenched into fists. Xiang Chonghua took a few steps forward, holding the door tightly, and his feet had already stepped out of the door. Qin Fei sighed and slowly closed his eyes. Hearing a loud shout, Xiang Chonghua slapped his palm on the head and fell back into the house. Qin Fei ran over in a few steps and one step, and was relieved to see that he had just stunned himself and was fine, and couldn't help but sigh while wiping the blood for him.
As the sun sets, Liu Xiwei is carefully brushing the horse, and the horse's oily black flesh is shining with a gentle and heavy luster in the twilight illumination, which increasingly reflects his hands as white as jade. Uncle Ma silently lifted the bucket and dumped the sewage next to a tree not far away. He raised his muscular arm and wiped the beads of sweat from his face, not paying the slightest attention to Qin Fei's heavy footsteps as he walked through the bushes.
Liu Xiwei smiled at Qin Fei, and then immersed himself in dipping the brush into the newly changed water. Qin Fei reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "I didn't expect that your lord would have this Yaxing." ”
Liu Xiwei said: "Benjun feels that many things need to be done by himself in order to appreciate the mysteries, and many times this inconspicuous point is enough to reverse fate. Take this incident as an example, if it weren't for Zhao Yi, who is proficient in horses, I am afraid that it would be Ben Jun himself who is desperate now. ”
Qin Fei sighed: "Your Excellency is really ashamed of himself. ”
Liu Xiwei smiled slightly, and his voice suddenly turned low: "That parchment scroll must be hidden." ”
Qin Fei looked around and saw that only Uncle Ma was there, so he replied in a low voice: "Your Excellency, rest assured, the parchment scroll is hidden in the medicine box under him, even Hua Zhong doesn't know it." ”
Liu Xiwei nodded and said, "It stands to reason that Benjun should not doubt your ability. But Qianrenxue's matter made Benjun very uneasy. We've come to the last step, and we must not fall short! ”
Uncle Ma came back with a bucket of fresh water, checked the horse's ears and teeth, and began to carefully wipe it with a small brush. Liu Xiwei said: "The parchment scroll contains all our plans and participants, and if someone steals it, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Qin Fei lowered his head and said, "My subordinates understand. ”
Liu Xiwei smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "But there's no need to worry too much." Let's go to the Imperial Garden with Hon-kun, and the flowers of the southern country are beautiful even in late autumn. When Benjun's mother was alive, she often went there to enjoy the flowers and play the harp. He put the brush on the ground, got up and straightened his clothes, and walked towards the west with Qin Fei one after the other.
Uncle Ma silently packed up the utensils, cleaned up and led the horses back to the stable, bent down and pulled out a set of guard's clothes from the high stacks of haystacks, quickly changed into them, and touched Qin Fei's room along the path. Xiang Chonghua's earth-shattering snoring sound came from the house, Uncle Ma's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he hid under the window and saw Xiang Chonghua sleeping with a bandage on his head, so he was relieved, swept left and right and quickly rushed into the house, found the medicine box next to Qin Fei's collapse, and opened it lightly. I saw a very fine piece of silk satin floating out of the crack between the closed medicine boxes.
Uncle Ma grabbed the silk satin and sneered: "Clamp this inconspicuous ribbon in the box, if you find that the position has changed, you can immediately notice the difference." What a ghost-like Qin Fei! ”
He carefully flipped through the parchment roll and put it around his waist, and then crept back to his room, locked the doors and windows, lit a little oil lamp, and slowly unfolded the parchment roll from under the oil lamp. A puff of green smoke erupted violently from the roll, and Uncle Ma rolled to the ground screaming, covering his eyes and howling. Hearing the door open to both sides, Uncle Ma instinctively raised his head, but his eyes were blurred, and he could only see a few twisted figures walking in from outside the door.
Liu Xiwei's indifferent voice sounded, and said, "Send someone out to guard and close the door." ”
Then came the sound of the door closing. The slightly brighter room was dark again, and the sound of overlapping footsteps gradually approached, and the cold touch pressed against his chin, raising Uncle Ma's head.
This time it was Sun Zhe's voice.
"I've heard that the eyes of the deaf are much better than those of ordinary people, but what if the deaf become blind again?"
Uncle Ma said angrily: "You are blind." A backhand spilled out and nailed it all to the wall.
Liu Xiwei said coldly: "You may soon become blind, but you are by no means deaf. For the sake of your age, this gentleman will give you a clear way, meet your father with this gentleman and confess all Liu Xiqiu's crimes, and this gentleman will cure your eyes and spare you from death. ”
Uncle Ma sneered: "Ever since I stepped into the door of your mansion, I never thought that I would be able to get out with all the corpses. Thank you for your kindness. Although Lao Ma is not a sage, he also knows how to take people's money for others. Vanish. Disaster. Although the prince was not a good man, he offered a price that was enough for Lao Ma to sell his life. The king wants to kill or chop, the old horse has no complaints, and if he wants to hate, he only hates that it was not the king who met him but the prince. ”
Liu Xiwei said: "Very good. This gentleman admires the good man who says the same. Anyway, Liu Xixuan can't escape, so I will give you a good time. ”
Uncle Ma smiled: "Thank you, Your Excellency." But please forgive the grass people for being rude. Since you think Wei Qianxue is a fine work, why do you suspect me again, where did I show my feet? ”
Liu Xiwei said: "Qin Fei, you just let him be a ghost." But stay where you are, and the others will be on their guard! ”
Qin Fei's voice came from a distant corner, and said, "Actually, I once thought that Wei Qianxue was a meticulous work, but it wasn't until I went to see Zhao Yi a few days ago that I realized a fatal loophole in a flash of inspiration. That time Zhao Yi escaped death because his heart was a few inches away from the rest of the world, which Wei Qianxue also knew. If she is really meticulous, Zhao Yi has no chance of surviving. ”
Uncle Ma sighed: "I didn't expect that there are really people in this world whose hearts are biased. He smiled and said: "This is normal, God's heart is crooked, what is so strange when people's hearts are crooked?" But this can only clear her name, and it is not enough to prove that I am the real murderer. ”
Qin Fei said: "I'm ashamed to say it, my suspicion of you is completely wise after the fact. After realizing that Wei Qianxue was not the real murderer, I followed the king's train of thought to check all the suspects, and found that except for Wei Qianxue, only you were the most suspicious. But I immediately thought that you were deaf, and it was impossible for me to overhear our conversation with Zhao Yi. Wu Buwei's sword that tested you in the first place also proved this matter. But at this point, I realized another suspicion. ”
Uncle Ma said: "Could it be that the old horse showed signs of dodging at that time?" ”
Qin Fei said: "Your performance at that time was enough to shame many heroes. But the flaw came when you drove us and Zhao Yi to the place where the attack was attacked. Wu Buwei's sword pierced deeply and accurately, and it was impossible for ordinary people to return to normal within a month even if they used the imperial medicine of the palace. And the chariot skills you showed that day were not at all like an injured person, even Zhao Yi, who was proficient in horses, was full of praise. So I concluded that you must be a master of internal strength, and I began to doubt you. But it is only limited to suspicion, after all, I can't find the slightest loophole in the two matters of Gu Panpan's death and the assassination of the bandit leader. ”
Uncle Ma high-fived and laughed: "That's why you set up a situation for me to expose myself!" Mr. Qin is truly a wise man and strategist like no other. Death in your hands, the old horse is not in vain! Those two men were indeed killed by me, and the method of murder was exactly the same as Mr. had guessed. He sighed and said, "If the prince could keep Mr. Qin that day, how could he be reduced to fish and meat today!" ”
Sun Zhe moved the tip of his sword from his chin to his throat.
Liu Xiwei said: "Slow." Slowly walked over and said: "Regardless of success or failure, Ma Zhuangshi can be regarded as a hero of both loyalty and righteousness, wisdom and bravery." Benjun personally sent the horse warrior on the road. ”
Uncle Ma smiled: "Thank you." I hope that the old horse can meet the king as soon as possible. ”
Liu Xiwei's eyes swept away, Qin Fei didn't even see his shot clearly, Uncle Ma had already fallen to the ground with a smile, and his eyebrows were only a little red.
Liu Xiwei sighed, handed the sword that was almost unstained with blood to Sun Zhe, and said, "It's a pity for this person. But he can't trust someone who has served his opponent. No matter how many times the stained white cloth is washed, it will not return to its original cleanliness. This is the truth that the elder whom Benjun respects the most tells Benjun. He turned around and walked to the door and said, "Bury Uncle Ma thickly, don't be seen by others." ”
Sun Zhe should claim the promise.
Qin Fei suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, all the stained cloths could not be left, what about Wei Qianxue?
