Shicai Shi Shouxin didn't pay much attention to it, but now that he thinks about it carefully, there are too many problems in the details.

If I heard it correctly, the waiter said that the official knew that he was drinking alone, so he gave him wine.

It is not surprising that the official family paid attention to the banquet in Wang Xianqi's mansion, but what he was doing at home, it stands to reason that no outsiders should know, and how did the emperor know?

So your every move is being monitored? His every move is in the eyes of the emperor?

What does it mean for a general with a heavy army in his hands to be watched by the emperor? Since ancient times, it has been common for emperors to spy on their courtiers, but there shouldn't be many of them at this point, right?

Especially at such a sensitive time, I'm afraid it's not simply a matter of beware, right?

Shi Shouxin was shocked at first, and then apprehensive, and the fifteen buckets had already begun to go up and down.

What does it mean to suddenly send two jars of wine? Is it really a reward, a comfort to oneself who drinks alone? If you think about the past, most of the time it was to give wine after returning from a victorious battle. If it is said that today's Shangyuan Festival, it is reasonable for the king to give wine to his courtiers, but the inner servant is obviously not this set of rhetoric.

His eyes fell on the two wine jars, and Shi Shouxin's heart twitched inexplicably. In his eyes, the jar was not necessarily filled with fine wine, but perhaps with death......

Poisoned by wine!

Shi Shouxin first thought of such a word, and there have been too many such examples since ancient times. Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, once drank the wine sent by the prince Jiancheng and the king of Qi, Yuanji, and almost died of poisoning, so there was the later Xuanwumen change. Since ancient times, there have been too many courtiers who died under the king's wine, and there are many names and surnames that have left their names in history.

Could it be that his fate is the same, to become the Great Song Dynasty and become the first minister to be killed? If the emperor believes that he is the mastermind behind the assassination of the king. Or that they may decide that they are too much of a threat to the dynasty, and it is not surprising that they do so in a completely reasonable way.

But...... Since the Imperial City Division is investigating, and there are clues and evidence, it is completely possible to conduct an open trial and exterminate his family, so why bother to poison him with wine? What's more, throughout the ages, most of the killings have taken place in prison. Or after judgment. There doesn't seem to be much of it like this suddenly, without warning, maybe it's because I'm thinking too much.

Maybe it's unlikely, but ...... There was wine in this jar, but Shi Shouxin didn't dare to drink it lightly. It doesn't seem appropriate to pour the sake that can be given by the emperor, just in case...... Unable to understand the emperor's intentions, Shi Shouxin did not dare to act rashly.

After thinking about it, Shi Shouxin instructed the housekeeper to do something. There are some things that you have to decide on before you make a plan.

Half an hour later, Lin Miaoshou, a famous doctor in Bianliang, appeared in Shi Shouxin's inner study, and no one knew. In addition to Lin Miaoshou's identity as a doctor, he is also inextricably linked with Shi Shouxin's family.

Shi Shouxin believes that even if his mansion is monitored by the emperor, there will even be the emperor's eyeliner in the mansion. But your own inner study is absolutely safe.

Shi Shouxin didn't say anything, and directly said a bowl of wine from the altar. It was sent to Lin Miaoshou. Then sit quietly in your chair and wait, waiting for a result.

After another half an hour, Lin Miaoshou had the result, got up and reported: "General, this wine is non-toxic at first glance, and the ordinary silver needle test may not be effective, but in fact, it is added with several flavors of medicine such as purple needle flowers, this medicine is almost colorless and tasteless, after being covered by the aroma of wine, it is difficult for ordinary people to find out, and after taking it rashly, people will gradually become mentally depressed, until they are bedridden, and even ......."

Lin Miaoshou didn't say the word "death", but Shi Shouxin already understood.

"Okay, I know, I've worked hard for you, this matter can't enter the ears of a third person, you understand." Shi Shouxin admonished, waved his hand and sent Lin Miao's hand away, he needed to calm down now.

"Yes, the general can rest assured, the villain understands." Lin Miaoshou didn't know that it was a drink from the emperor, but someone poisoned and wanted to kill Shi Shouxin. He is a smart person, and he knows that the affairs of the powerful family are not something he can participate in, and as a subordinate of the Shi family, it is necessary to remind him as much as he can, but afterwards...... It is our duty not to know anything, and walking among the princes and magnates is the way to live.

Shi Shouxin was the only one left in the study, and he wanted to calm down, but there was a storm in his heart.

The wine in this jar is poisonous, not a poison that seals the throat when you see blood, and is immediately fatal, but a chronic poison, an invisible poison that kills people, what does Zhao Kuangyin want to do?

Shi Shouxin did not suspect the source of the inner wine, since the fight of Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, the inner wine shop has been strictly managed, and no one except the emperor can get the inner wine lightly.

Moreover, the man who came to deliver the wine was wide and fat, and his voice was treacherous, so he must have been a eunuch. In the whole world, most of the eunuchs came from the palace, so this wine was probably sent by Emperor Zhao Kuangyin.

However, Shi Shouxin also found something abnormal, it stands to reason that the emperor's rewards are above board, or there is a holy decree, and even if it is a verbal message, it is clear and recorded.

The reward of wine in these two jars tonight is too sudden, and the ceremony seems to be a little too simple, except for his own family, I am afraid that it is not recorded in the dark at all, and outsiders do not know at all.

And it was a waiter from the Funing Palace who came to deliver the wine, probably on an errand under the queen on weekdays! It stands to reason that the people who come into contact with the courtiers should be the cronies who wait for the emperor in the Hanging Arch Hall on weekdays, so why let an unknown chamberlain in the queen's palace come? Is this to avoid being noticeable, and there is no proof of death in the future?

If you drink alcohol, the poisoning becomes weaker and weaker, and then you die of illness, it can be said that it is a disease caused by overwork, or a sudden illness, in short, death from illness.

After thinking of this very likely possibility, Shi Shouxin shuddered.

The emperor has the intention to kill himself, but it is clear that the shock of his own actions will be great, at least the other martial artists will have a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and it is not surprising that some people take risks in order to protect themselves.

So he adopted this very disgraceful and despicable practice, wanting to kill people invisibly, leave a good name for himself, and kill himself quietly. I have to say that this plan is really vicious, if I hadn't heard the rumors in advance and had been on guard, I was afraid that when I got to the underworld, I wouldn't know how I died.

If you say that you were involved in the assassination case of killing the monarch before, it was just a rumor. The wine in these two jars seems to be solid, maybe the emperor has decided that it is true that he has murderous intentions against himself.

Suddenly, Shi Shouxin felt that he had fallen into a great crisis, a life-and-death crisis involving the whole family.

Looking at the two jars of wine on the table, Shi Shouxin moved his throat. What to do? Do you drink this wine or not?

……

During the Shangyuan Festival, there are many people enjoying the lanterns on Bianliang Street, especially on both sides of the Bianhe River. On weekdays, this is the most prosperous area, and tonight you can see the lights of the river and the flower boats coming and going.

It is the people who come and go in the market. It is no exaggeration to say that it is shoulder to shoulder, and it is comparable to the population density of the station during the Spring Festival in later generations.

Rao is like this, the people of Bianliang are still shuttling among them, and if they want to join in the fun, Ma San and his wife are included in it.

In previous years, they would also go out to look at the lights, but just to watch.

Thinking about the original days, Ma San's mother-in-law felt very uncomfortable. The children want to buy a lantern or something to eat. Or if you want to buy any rouge gouache, you can only look at it.

For this reason, the children also cry less. I didn't complain a little about the hard-working, but elm-headed husband.

At that time, they didn't have any extra money at all, and it was good to be able to barely fill their stomachs. So how dare you expect to buy lamps for shopping? So at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, you can only look at others with envy, and then drool. Until the envious gaze is helpless complaining.

After many times, Ma Sanniang was reluctant to go to the street to look at the lights, because the happy time for others was the most painful time for her. Rather than suffering that sin on the street, it is better to stay at home and see out of sight.

But this year is an exception, the family got "funding", all of a sudden there is more money, relatively rich, this year is very good, there is no taste. Mrs. Ma San doesn't remember how long it has been since she had eaten meat so freely. From Chinese New Year's Eve to now, it has only been half a month, and she has an extra layer of flesh on her waist and abdomen, and her face is more bloody, and she is obviously fatter.

She is very satisfied with this, this is a good life that people should live. Now that the Shangyuan Festival is happy and happy to enjoy the lanterns, it can be regarded as a perfect end to the New Year, and an unprecedented happy year has passed.

When she went out, Mrs. Ma Sanniang deliberately put on a new flower dress, even if she couldn't see it in the dark, even if it was possible to be burned out of a few holes by fireworks, she still insisted on wearing it, and there was no "fear". Clothes are worn, if they are broken, then make a new one, with today's family background, it is not a problem to pull a few feet of flower cloth.

Hiding a handful of copper coins in her arms, Ma Sanniang showed a satisfied smile on her face. After going to the street, buy a few lanterns and a few delicious snacks for the children, so that the children can have a good time. As for themselves......

It's been many years, and I've never bought any decent jewelry, and this year I will make up for this regret by buying two silver-plated and gold-plated hairpins and a pair of bracelets...... Then go to the rouge shop and pick up some gouache, I heard that they are all new goods from Jiangnan, it is said that the princess of the Tang Kingdom is also using it, and men like to rub it on their faces......

……

Zhao Zheng and Fu Li had a lot of fun all the way, and the New Year's gadgets and things made the noble, "rare and strange" little county lord very curious. The most important thing is that Zhao Zheng came accompaniment, the two rarely had such a sweet opportunity to be alone, they both cherished each other, were very happy, and enjoyed a rare good time.

However, Zhao Zheng sneezed a few times in a row, and he didn't know who was talking about himself? If you want to easily get over the yuan, why is it so difficult to accompany the female ticket to enjoy the lanterns?

Although ordinary people live a hard life, they have the joy of freedom, and as a royal family, they have a lot of confinement and compulsion. Sure enough, it is in response to the old saying, people are in the temple, and they can't help themselves...... Especially a child of the royal family in an important position, this day is even more uncomfortable.

If you can, this imperial city envoy should be handed over to someone else, it's not easy to be a spy leader......

Alas!

Zhao Zheng sighed secretly, but a thought came to his heart, whoever wants to disturb the good time between himself and Fu Li tonight, then Hugh will blame himself for being polite.

I hope that the beauty will touch the mold and let myself have a wonderful night, but I don't know if it will be a luxury?

……

"The streets should be brightly lit and brilliant tonight!" The brocade-robed man sat in the study and sighed. Naturally, a character like him would not go out on the street to have fun with others, and unlike Shi Shouxin, he did not drink alcohol, but stayed in the house, as if he had some new plan brewing.

The man in black replied softly, "That's right, Shangyuan Festival." Bianliang has always been crowded and lively, and this year must be no exception. ”

The man in the brocade robe sighed with emotion: "This is all the credit of Zhou Shizong, the old man, I have gone through several dynasties, Shi Jingjiao won the country with the help of the Khitans, and the Khitan army directly entered Bianliang City and ransacked the city.

It was only in the (later) Han Dynasty that it gradually recovered, but it was still very depressed, and it was not until the (later) Zhou Dynasty that Sejong Chai Rong worked hard to govern the country. The Central Plains is becoming more and more stable and rich, and the prosperity of this Bianliang city has been restored, what has he Zhao Kuangyin done? It's just a big bargain, and I don't know if I will be embarrassed after seeing such a scene? ”

"That's right, Zhou Shizong has worked hard to govern the country, and he is indeed a generation of virtuous monarchs." The man in black didn't know if he was nostalgic for the old days, or if he felt worthless for his master.

The brocade-robed man shook his head and said, "If Zhou Shizong can live a long life, he will work hard for many years. The southern conquest of a hundred battles, meritorious deeds may not be under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Both of them set up young lords to ascend the throne, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chose Huo Guang as an auxiliary government, and the Han Dynasty prospered as before. And Zhou Shizong. He chose the wrong person, Fan Zhen is not even as good as Jin Riyan, where can he control a group of tiger generals? How can Da Zhou not die? ”

The man in black echoed: "If Emperor Shizong had chosen the lord, it would definitely be Huo Guang of the Great Zhou. Even if it can be compared with Zhou Gong, it will definitely be able to go down in history and be famous for centuries. ”

"Hmph. It's a pity, it's ...... by mistake" The brocade-robed man sighed with emotion and asked, "Have the gifts been delivered?" ”

The man in black was convinced: "It's delivered, Shi Shouxin really didn't go to the banquet, but drank wine at home alone, the wine in the two jars has been delivered, Shi Shouxin is as expected by the lord, there are doubts, our people are sure that Lin Miaoshou has entered the Shi family's mansion, with his level, he will definitely be able to find out the doorway." ”

"Hmph, presumably Shi Shouxin is probably scared now, and the suspicion between the monarchs and ministers is up, ......and the man in the brocade robe sneered twice, as if he felt very ironic.

"Lord, will Shi Shouxin really drink that wine?" The man in black seemed to be a little worried, if this was the case, it would be troublesome.

"Do you think Shi Shouxin is the kind of person who sits and waits to be killed?" The brocade-robed man said, "Look, the old man believes that he is not that kind of person, otherwise...... Humph......"

The man in black said worriedly: "Lord, are your subordinates worried that Shi Shouxin will find out the clues?" ”

"Maybe, as long as you do it safely, it shouldn't be ...... for the time being. If you find it a little later, it will be useless, and there is no turning back when you open the bow. ”

The brocade-robed man said: "Whether Shi Shouxin believes it or not, he will be sure that the emperor is suspicious of these military generals with heavy troops, especially when they are brothers in the righteous society, which emperor is willing to call his courtiers brothers?" As long as the emperor has suspicion, his crisis will exist, and as long as he doesn't want to sit still and let go of the qiē he has already gotten, he will take action. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will pay close attention to this matter."

The brocade-robed man said with a smile: "As expected, in the next few days, Shi Shouxin will most likely say that he will not be sick, and he will not go to court for the time being, and now Shi Shouxin is already a bird with a frightened bow, a bird with a frightened bow,...... By the way, what's going on the street? ”

"Our people are following, Zhao Wulang took the little daughter of the Fu family to watch the lights on the street......"

"Hmph, young man Qingqing and me, it's very sweet, it's just that the unmarried traveler is not in line with the etiquette, Fu Yanqing is so conniving, it seems that he can't wait to marry the Zhao family."

The brocade-robed man said: "Maybe Lu Huo'er is right, it is necessary to find a way to stop it, and the marriage of the two families of Zhao Fu is not a good thing......

The man in black was embarrassed: "Our people are following, but it seems to be difficult to do it, there are many people in the Imperial City Division who follow and secretly protect, if you do it, I'm afraid it will go wrong." ”

"If you want to find a way, you have to do it, otherwise the camel won't be able to run away, and as expected, Zhao Zheng should also do it to him." The brocade-robed man frowned, as if he was very depressed and dissatisfied.

"Most of them went to the old mansion of Hantong to worship that night, and they were discovered by the people of the Imperial City Division, so that they were followed...... The camel is also really, Su Rili prides himself on being smart and cautious, and the result is ......"

"It's not entirely his fault for this, the old man is also responsible, and he will allow it when he thinks of his filial piety." The man in the brocade robe regretted a little, maybe he shouldn't treat others with himself, so Han Wei took the liberty to go.

"In the past, the lord was filial to the princess, and everyone praised him, and now he is filial to the old lady, which is also obvious to all, and the lord remembers that his filial piety is commendable......

The man in black naturally couldn't blame his own master, he was very depressed, he never expected that Han Wei would be discovered and monitored by the Imperial City Division. If it weren't for their caution, they discovered the traces of the Imperial City Division, and asked Han Wei to stop his activities in time, and they didn't know what would have happened.

"Fortunately, we haven't had much contact with the camel recently, so it shouldn't matter if we cut it off in time."

The man in black said: "Right now, Zhao Zheng should be not sure if the camel is aware of it, and he still has the intention of putting a long line to catch big fish...... Sooner or later, he will run out of patience, and it is better to ...... than to bother to protect the camel."

"Let's look at it, if you can keep his life, although it is good to stay, he is still somewhat useful, if not, don't let him fall into the hands of Zhao Zheng, and those who have dealings with him will be dealt with together." The brocade-robed man commanded, and then closed his eyes and remained silent.

"Yes, my subordinates understand!" The man in black answered, and disappeared into the night. (To be continued......)
