227, a game within a game

Xiu'e's words made everyone look at each other, why did they involve the King of Loyalty and Righteousness?

King Zhongyi has just returned to Beijing for a few days, and he dares to do such a thing? It's a bit unbelievable.

King Zhongyi looked at Xiu'e in astonishment, and a loyal old face trembled angrily,

"This king has not been in the capital for many years. How can I buy you as soon as I come back, and besides, you are avenging the Jiangshu people, and you are not the king and the princess of Jin, and you have a grudge against the ministers and daughters in the palace!

Why did this king give you poison?

Waiting for you to expose me? ”

King Zhongyi was originally watching the play, but he didn't expect a big hammer to hit his head, and he reacted quickly and questioned Xiu'e.

Xiu'e smiled disdainfully, "You have no enmity with the minister's daughter, but you have a grudge against the Jin Palace!" The person you sent to find the slave said that you hated the people of the Jin Palace, didn't give you face, and made you ugly in front of everyone.

That Guan girl is still locked up in the palace now, and you are afraid that she will tell you ugly things. ”

When the king of Zhongyi heard this, he laughed even louder, "There are many loopholes in the excuse, this king is afraid that Guan Jinghe will tell the scandal of this king, then this king should find a way to kill Guan Jinghe, and it is more convenient to buy the people of the palace than to buy the palace people......"

Xiu'e hung her head and didn't speak, anyway, she was sure that the poison was given by the Zhongyi Palace.

The emperor looked at the people below, glanced at Xiao Yue, and said, "Since everyone has their own opinions, this matter is too bad, no matter who it is, I will strictly investigate it."

Otherwise, how to give you an explanation, even if I am sitting on the dragon chair, it is not stable enough. ”

The emperor once again made a final decision, "The case was handed over to Dali Temple and Jinyiwei for trial, and each family sent people to participate." "It also saves the future of talking about cover-up, slander, and personal vendettas.

When the matter was agreed, the feast could not be eaten anymore, and they dispersed.

Jin Wangfu study.

Gu Shi'an had a calm face, "What do you think of today's events?" ”

His baby daughter, the daughter in the palm of her hand, was almost calculated, and this matter must be investigated and justice should be revealed.

Don't be the commander of this brocade guard in the future.

"It's unlikely that King Zhongyi did it." Xiao Yue said.

Zhou Yuxuan nodded, everyone's thoughts were the same as Xiao Yue's, and the Loyal King was not so stupid.

He has been able to exist as a loyal image for so many years, which must be something extraordinary. It is impossible to use such crude and simple means.

In this way, it is the people of the three mansions who are offended, and they will do more harm than good to him.

Gu Shi'an said, "Then who do you think it is?" ”

Xiao Yue's hands on the desk were crossed, and he shook his head, "I don't know." ”

He had already sent someone to find Xiu'e's family, as well as the people who had appeared in the surrounding area, but how could he find out the results so quickly?

Even the Dali Temple is estimated to have just begun the interrogation.

"Why don't you go and watch those guys try the suspects?"

Nanshan was watching. I won't have much success if I go to see it, and the maid is afraid that she doesn't know much. ”

Xiao Yue said 'um' and said, "There is a little clue, since the other party has done it once, there will definitely be a second time, and the more you move, the more flaws you will leave behind." ”

He paused, "It's the fox that will show its tail sooner or later." ”

It's time for a decisive battle, the four princes have been hiding in the corner, no matter who is doing it this time, next, the four princes will definitely make a move.

After being silent for a while, Gu Shi'an said, "I was thinking about how to find the fourth prince before, and during this period of patrolling and curfew, I didn't find anything unusual, but the people on the Jiang family's side have not heard from him, so I don't believe that he won't move." ”

Zhou Yuxuan said thoughtfully to Gu Shi'an, "Uncle, do you think there is something wrong with Mrs. Mo?" I asked her like that in the palace just now. ”

Gu Shi'an smiled, "I don't know if she has a problem, but the eldest princess of Changning must have a problem, and it is impossible for her not to know that her grandson Mo Dashao is colluding with the fourth prince." ”

Xiao Yue's expression was faint, but his eyes had already darkened, his fingers curled, and he gently tapped the tabletop, and said after a half-sound,

"After following Mo Dashao for so long, he has no flaws at all, but he is really calm enough."

"No, you should visit the Mo family at night, the Mo family is all exits are closely watched, it is impossible that there is no news at all."

Xiao Yue felt very regretful, but he didn't know what went wrong, "Do you want to find out the details of the Mo family?" ”

Gu Shi'an was noncommittal.

……

Sure enough, as Xiao Yue expected, Dali Temple and Jinyiwei teamed up and failed to interrogate anything, not only that, but also the news that Xiu'e died.

Xiu'e's death was quite laughable, and the people of Dali Temple and Jinyiwei took turns to interrogate for three days, and all kinds of punishments went down.

She took a bite to avenge the Jiang family, and the source of the medicine was the Zhongyi Palace.

I asked her specifically who gave her the medicine, and she was hesitant.

Dali Temple and Jinyiwei are not only interrogators, but also investigating Xiu'e's family, relatives, and friends, and nothing suspicious has been found in these three places.

In this way, the poison was really given by the people of the Zhongyi Palace?

The people on duty in the pantry with Xiu'e have all been cleared of suspicion and returned to the palace.

Only Xiu'e looks clean, but everything points to her.

The case was tried here, and the prince who came to listen to the Zhongyi Mansion couldn't sit still.

If Xiu'e insisted that it was the poison given to her by the Zhongyi Palace, the Zhongyi Palace's Mansion would not be able to wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River.

When the time comes, the Zhongyi Palace's Mansion will not be pointed at?

There is also the palace, the father received the news that the emperor intends to withdraw the domain, if this handle is caught, then the Zhongyi Mansion will be the first to be cut.

Now it can only be found out that the real mastermind behind the scenes, so that not only can the palace not be able to catch the handle of the palace, but also there is no need to form a hatred with the Jin Wangfu and the Su Wangfu that is higher than the mountain and deeper than the sea.

Thinking about the consequences like this, the prince of Zhongyi couldn't sit still, he suddenly stood up, rushed over, pointed at Xiu'e and shouted,

"Come on, who instructed you to return the princess and the ladies of the palaces? And who told you to bring the matter to the king's house? ”

When he came to observe the trial, his father once told him that the house did not communicate with that Xiu'e, and Xiu'e was clearly framed.

"The slave and maid are telling the truth. It is the poison given to the slaves and maids by the palace of the loyal and righteous kings. ”

Xiu'e, who was lying on the ground, was already dying, she cried and shook her head, "The slave really didn't lie, why can't you believe the words of the dying person?" ”

How can the prince of Zhongyi listen to her defense, these days, for this shitty thing, it is really not good to eat, sleep well, the whole palace is difficult to sleep and eat, and now listen to her or shameless frame-up, Zhongyi Wang Shizi suddenly felt a nameless fire rushing out of his head.

His eyes were red, "You, do you say who bought you, if you don't say anything, I will let you die a bad death, as well as your family and friends." One does not fall. ”

Today, it happened that Gu Shi'an was also there, as well as King Qijun, the two of them frowned, and King Qijun, as one of the chief judges, said coldly,

"Are you threatening the suspect?"

Before the words fell, King Qijun's face changed greatly, and the faces of everyone present changed, Gu Shi'an even got up from the chair and rushed over, it was still too late.

Zhongyi Wang Shizi's eyes were red angrily, and he didn't want to kick Xiu'e's back, he couldn't control it, and kicked again, but this kick didn't fall into place, so he was stopped by the nearest official on the side, followed by Gu Shi'an.

Xiu'e, who was kicked, spat out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person looked stunned, and her face turned blue.

Gu Shi'an's face changed slightly, and he instructed Nanshan, who was waiting on the side, "Doctor Chuan." ”

The prince of Zhongyi, who was firmly held by the officials on the side, chuckled in his heart, his face was also white and transparent, and his eyes were staring at Xiu'e on the ground.

Xiu'e was gulping out blood, and his hair was about to stand on end in fright.

For so many days, the people who watched them naturally knew how much punishment Xiu'e had suffered, and they didn't see her die when they used so many torture tools, so why did he vomit blood when he just kicked it?

It can only be said that the prince of Zhongyi is too well protected, he doesn't know that the people who torture in the yamen are quite skillful, and a set of punishments can make you want to die, but on the contrary, you can't die, so you can suffer the crime.

Under the torture of Jinyiwei and Dali Temple in turn, Xiu'e survived for so many days, but she didn't expect that in the end, she was kicked to death by the prince of Zhongyi.

A presumptuous person had already come in to check and confirmed that he was dead, and the cold sweat on the prince of Zhongyi came out at once.

He looked up at Gu Shi'an tremblingly, and saw Gu Shi'an staring at her with a pale face, looking like he couldn't strangle him.

Gu Shi'an really wanted to kill the loyal and righteous prince this time, a bastard who had not achieved enough and had more than enough failures, in order to prevent Xiu'e from committing suicide or being killed.

He arranged so many people to protect him, but what he didn't expect was to die like this.

He was kicked to death by the prince of Zhongyi under his nose.

The prince of Zhongyi was shivered by Gu Shi'an's gaze, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at King Qijun.

King Qijun really couldn't say a word at the moment, and his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets, and his expression was distorted.

He felt that he had lived for so long, and he had never encountered anything like this, and it was simply an eye-opener.

He looked at the prince of Zhongyi sympathetically, and saw that he was already staying there and did not dare to move.

He didn't expect the prince of Zhongyi to be so stupid.

That Xiu'e first said that it was for the revenge of the Jiang family, and later said that the poison was given by King Zhongyi.

This palace maid didn't find anything suspicious for three days, but she was kicked to death by the angry prince of Zhongyi.

Now, the question is, how many people are willing to believe that what happened in the palace has nothing to do with the Zhongyi Palace?

King Qijun sighed and asked people to take the prince of Zhongyi, who had been stunned, down.

He threw off his robe, this case really can't be tried, so it's better to throw it back to the emperor to try it himself, let him have a headache.

King Zhongyi felt that he was particularly wronged, and was bitten by a lowly palace maid and fell into the situation of murdering the emperor.

He has been trying to find a way to find out the truth, this hat, he must get rid of it.

Therefore, he sent his son to watch the trial of the case, and he was investigating the affairs of the palace maid as soon as possible.

The palace maid's family did not make a windfall or die suddenly, but she had a good friend, who turned out to be the guard of the Mo family!

It's just that when he received the news that he was going to find someone, it was already empty.

He was so angry that he beat his chest and feet, regardless of his demeanor and body fatness, he danced on the street!

Mo family, Mo family!

Thinking of the scene where Gu Shi'an interrogated Mrs. Mo in the palace, he hated to bite off all the people of the Mo family.

At this stall, King Qijun sent someone over and said that the prince of Zhongyi had kicked that lowly palace maid to death!

His son, his own son, kicked to death the only key suspect who could clear their palace and murder the minister's daughter, or possibly murder the emperor!

King Zhongyi couldn't believe his ears, nor could he believe that it was his own son, the boss with a pestle like a stake and an open mouth.

After a long while, he moved his eyes, and his fleshy hand touched his chest, looking loveless, with a miserable face.

He inhaled hard, gritted his teeth and said, "Enter the palace." ”

At the gate of the palace, King Zhongyi ran into King Qijun and his party, and he crashed into Gu Shi'an's cold eyes, and suddenly felt that no amount of meat could stop him from being cold.

He wanted to say hello, but Gu Shi'an didn't look at him much, and strode away first.

King Zhongyi, who remained in place, turned blue and red several times, and he felt that everyone at the palace gate laughed at him.

He clenched his fists tightly, forced the blush on his face back, swallowed back the stuffiness in his chest, and bowed his head towards the palace.

is also the prince, who is more noble than whom? Moreover, he is still older than Gu Shi'an, but Gu Shi'an, don't say respect, don't ride on his head and.

No matter how arrogant he is, can he be arrogant enough to be more arrogant than the emperor?

The emperor sat on the throne expressionlessly, and listened to the king of Qijun tell the story of the incident from beginning to end.

The prince of Zhongyi knelt on the ground and shouted injustice, "Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean it, the minister was unintentional, and the minister was angry that the palace maid was pulling our family." ”

"The minister is still waiting for her to clear our family's grievances, how can he kill her? Someone must have struck first, and I bumped into it.

Your Majesty, please restore the innocence of our family. ”

King Qijun's face suddenly didn't look very good, and he said with a smile, "Someone will do it first?" Do you mean that Dali Temple and Jinyiwei both eat dry rice?

You mean the hands of those of us? Are we all roundworms in your stomach? Know when you're going to rush over?

You rushed over and kicked someone, we pulled you over?

Who can design you?

Lord Dali Temple, please tell me, what's going on? ”

The prince of Zhongyi Wang's scalp was numb, and hurriedly said, "My nephew didn't mean that, and I asked Uncle Wang to forgive me." ”

The emperor looked at King Zhongyi, who had not said a word since he came in, and asked, "I wonder if King Zhongyi has anything to say." ”

King Zhongyi replied, "The minister has nothing to say, only the word 'wronged', more words have been said by the minister last time, this time, the minister just found out, the palace maid who bit the minister and a guard of the Mo family had an affair, and when the minister received the news to arrest him, the guard disappeared."

Your Majesty, the palace maid must have been bought.

The people behind this just want to separate the ministers and the king of Jin, the king of Su, let us fight, so that we can reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

He only had to say that it was the Mo family who was behind the trouble.

Gu Shi'an sneered again and again, "That Xiu'e is a palace maid, not a maid in a house, how can she have an affair with the guards in the mansion of the eldest princess of Changning?" It's a joke. ”

"The prince is really high, first let his son accidentally kill the witness who was unwilling to clear the suspicion of your family.

And then bring out a guard, ring by ring. ”

"It's high, it's really high." Gu Shi'an high-fived and laughed.

"King Zhongyi, don't just pull others in in order to get rid of sin!

I misunderstood Mrs. Mo last time and asked her a few words, but it doesn't mean that you can be fooled! ”

King Zhongyi's face did not change at all when he was ridiculed, but said, "What I said, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, but I can swear to the sun, moon, heaven and earth, not the medicine we give." ”

"As soon as you touch your mouth, you say that you didn't do it, you want witnesses but no witnesses, and you want physical evidence without physical evidence.

The only witness was kicked to death by your son. So many people swear, aren't they all untrustworthy? ”

King Zhongyi was still not annoyed, he just sneered lightly and looked at Gu Shi'an with pity, "I know you don't believe what you say now, but I will definitely come up with evidence, but it is better that King Su should not be too sad at that time." ”

Gu Shi'an sneered, "Why is this king sad, catch the murderer who tried to hurt this king's daughter, this king should clap his hands and be happy." ”

"I hope you'll be able to laugh when the time comes." King Zhongyi said meaningfully.

Gu Shi'an lifted the corners of his lips disapplausively.

Aren't the people behind the scenes just trying to get them into a fight?

Then do as they wish, anyway, if they don't deal with the Zhongyi Palace, the Zhongyi Mansion will also deal with them.

That guard was sent by Xiao Yue to send the news to the Zhongyi Palace.

Otherwise, the Zhongyi Palace, which had just arrived in the capital from Zhongju, could find out the water in the capital so quickly and find out the head of that guard.

Isn't that what the people behind the scenes want?

Therefore, they discussed the plan on the same day and paralyzed the people behind the scenes.

They have long known that the Mo family and the four princes are involved, but after monitoring for so long, they have not obtained real evidence, even if they arrest the Mo family, it will be in vain.

This time, I hope to take advantage of this incident to wipe out the four princes and the Mo family.

not only captured the Mo family, but also captured the four princes.

King Zhongyi is just a chess piece thrown by the Mo family or the four princes.

……

In the Jin Palace, Xiao Yue and Gu Nian were accompanying Xiu Mu home to Xu'er, and the dark thirteen outside suddenly rushed in from outside the door, holding a bamboo tube in his hand, and said excitedly,

"Lord, princess, I have got evidence of the collusion between the Mo family and the four princes."

Hearing this, Xiao Yue and Gu Nian both stood up.

Xiao Yue took the bamboo tube sent by Dark Thirteen, picked up the sealing wax at one end, calmed his breath, and pulled out a piece of paper from it.

"Sure enough, it was written by the fourth prince to Master Mo." Gu Nian leaned over and glanced at it, his voice trembling a little.

Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and no longer had to bother to design a trap and let them drill into it.

And the news on the paper was even more surprising, it turned out that the fourth prince instructed Young Master Mo to publicize the matter of the first emperor, that is, Xiao Yi and Li Dai Taozhuang.

At the same time, let Young Master Mo also spread the content of the holy decree given to her by the real Ancestor Emperor Lin Risheng held by the eldest princess of Changning!

Gu Nian and Xiao Yue glanced at each other, the eldest princess of Changning held the holy decree of the true first emperor in her hand? What is the will?

"Is it the will that Yasukuni Gong said at the beginning?" Gu Nian suddenly remembered and exclaimed.

Xiao Yue frowned, and also remembered that the Duke of Jingguo had said that the first emperor had given him a holy decree, but at that time, everyone was attracted by another handwritten letter that Xiao Yi took out, and there was also the help of the great eunuch Yu Gonggong at that time, and later, no one seemed to care about the holy decree that the Duke of Jingguo said......

Where did that decree go? Was it taken by the eldest princess of Changning?

"Did you catch the person who just delivered the letter?" Gu Nian turned his head to ask Dark Thirteen.

"Originally, he was caught, but his subordinates didn't pay attention and let him take poison and die...... The subordinates sent this back first. "The revenge of the Dark Thirteen's guilt.

Originally, they wanted to take advantage of what happened in the palace, and when the eldest princess of Changning threw out the queen of loyalty, they were grasping the gap of the king of loyalty and looking for evidence of the collusion between the eldest princess of Changning and the four princes.

It's just that now it seems that it is no longer possible to take its time.

Moreover, it seems that the four princes have been forced to rush and are ready to take advantage of the chaos.

So, if the Mo family is not arrested at this time, when will they wait?

On the Mo family's side, Young Master Mo had just returned to the mansion, and the entourage around him greeted him, looked around, closed the door of the study and said in a low voice with him,

"Master, I'm afraid something happened."

Young Master Mo's hand changing his shirt paused, and he turned his head to look at his entourage.

The entourage swallowed his saliva, frightened, "During this time, the emperor and the king of Jin watched strictly, and everyone didn't move around casually.

But the fourth prince has not sent news for a long time, and he wanted to go and see it at noon, who knows, when he came out of the alley, he saw someone shouting and robbing.

And the person who was robbed seemed to be someone from the side of the fourth prince......"

Young Master Mo gritted his teeth and said, "You said that the fourth prince sent a letter over there, but it was robbed?" ”

"Yes." The entourage nodded hastily, "The small guess of the robber must be someone from King Jin or the emperor's side, now they must know that we have dealings with the four princes, what should we do." ”

What to do? He didn't know what to do! can only move forward without stopping. What else can I do!

Young Master Mo sat on the chair with his desk, for so long, the emperor didn't move him, although it seemed to be a sharp blade hanging over his head, but it was not a glimmer of life!

As long as the four princes can make it happen!

Now it seems that it is not that the emperor does not move them, but that he is also waiting for an opportunity.

"Master, the fourth prince has a letter for you."

In the silence of the room, the door of the study was pushed open, and the butler walked in quickly.

Young Master Mo raised his head, looked at the bamboo tube in his hand, reached out to take it, and slowly picked up the wax seal and went to the note inside.

"What did the Fourth Prince say?" The butler asked, he didn't know what his attendant had said.

This housekeeper is the confidant of his grandmother, the eldest princess of Changning, and since he made things clear to his grandmother, his grandmother has given him all the people around him who can be used.

Young Master Mo rolled up the note, his expression was extremely calm, and said, "He said that I should go to the house in the City God Temple immediately. ”

"Hasn't that house been discovered by the King of Jin? At this time, isn't it self-defeating? ”

Young Master Mo smiled, "The most dangerous place is the safest place. ”

The butler wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Young Master Mo stood up, stared out the window for a moment, walked up to the housekeeper, and said, "You have been with my grandmother all your life, and the people I don't like the most in this life are my grandmother and my sister."

After I go out, you tell your grandmother again, let her pretend that she doesn't know anything, and everything is pushed on me!

She is the highest elder in the royal family, the emperor, no matter how open. ”

"Uncle, what are you ......" The housekeeper was shocked suddenly, looking at Master Mo, he made the housekeeper scared like this, this is clearly a dying word......

"Uncle, the princess already knows, and she is doing what the four princes said during this time, and the palace is in chaos because of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and now it is estimated that people's hearts are not stable.

Why not take the initiative at this time? ”

Young Master Mo forced a smile and said, "Chaos is chaos, and chaos is not a trap." ”

"After Empress Jiang's matter is released, do you think the palace will be very loose? I suspect that the poison is clearly directed and acted by the emperor and the king of Jin.

Although the poison went down, no one had an accident and was hurt.

Isn't all the suspicion now on King Zhongyi?

King Zhongyi is now dog-eat-dog with Gu Shi'an, but no one has specific actions, and the old fox of King Zhongyi is not so easy to fool. ”

"Okay, needless to say, I'll go to the City God Temple to see the four princes, you go to your grandmother, tell her about the matter, and let her prepare as she should prepare......"
