Chapter 568 Tea in the Palace
Li Gu gritted his teeth, and after a while, he finally said, "My lord, do you really let the lowly position say?" ”
"Of course." Han Mo said lightly: "Just say, I'll wait for your words." ”
Li Gu turned around, looked at Han Mo, and said word by word: "I think I think it...... Someone betrayed his position! His eyes flashed with rage, his fists clenched, and even his finger bones rattled.
When Han Mo heard this, he didn't show a look of surprise, he was as calm as ever, returned to the table and sat down, stared at Li Gu, and asked calmly, "Since you have such a thought in your heart, why do you have to endure it until now?" ”
"Because the lowly does not believe that this is the truth." Li Gu said slowly: "The West Flower Hall is full of loyal people, and they don't believe that they will be betrayed by their own people. ”
"Then why are you saying it again?"
"Because...... There is only such an explanation. Li Gu looked at Han Mo's eyes and said, "Although he is not a top dark official, he is confident that he will not be noticed by anyone when he inquires about the news in the underground black market...... The people in the underground black market set a trap for the lowly to capture me, and the lowly officials acted so carefully that the lowly officials couldn't figure out why they knew so much about the whereabouts of the lowly office! ”
Han Mo touched his chin with a calm expression.
"There are some things that the lowly does not want to believe." Li Gu said slowly: "But...... There is only such an explanation that can be thought of by the lowly office! ”
"And who do you think it will be?" Han Mo asked.
Li Gu said expressionlessly: "I don't know!" ”
Han Mo's hand was on the table, a finger lightly tapped on the table, and said slowly: "You went to the underground black market to inquire about intelligence, and not many people seemed to know about this matter at that time!" ”
Li Gu took the initiative to go to the underground black market to find out the news of Wolf Bing, and it was in the underground interrogation room at the time, and there were only three people at the scene.
Li Gu, Han Mo and Xue Hongsleeve!
"The person who can betray you is naturally the one who knows about it." Han Mo said: "Then do you think that the red sleeves betrayed you, or ...... This officer? ”
Li Gu closed his mouth tightly, lowered his head, and did not speak.
Of course, this is a very scary question, in addition to Li Gu himself, the only people in the know are Han Mo and Xue Hongsleeve, according to the normal situation, it can only be one of Han Mo and Hongsleeve who leaked the news of Li Gu and betrayed Li Gu.
Red Sleeves is a colleague who has fought side by side with Li Gu for many years, and Han Mo is Li Gu's top boss, so of course Li Gu doesn't want to believe that either of them betrayed him.
……
"Don't you think things are weird?" Han Mo smiled faintly and said, "Li Gu, if the official asks you a word, you have to answer the official honestly...... No matter how you answer, this official will not blame you! ”
Li Gu raised his head and looked at Han Mo.
"If you were asked to choose one person from the official and the red sleeves......!" Han Mo stared at Li Gu and asked word by word, "Do you want to believe who betrayed you?" ”
Li Gu fell to the ground on one knee and lowered his head: "Don't dare to be humble!" ”
Han Mo sighed and said, "Your reaction has already leaked what you are thinking, it seems that ...... If you are given a choice, you are willing to believe that the official betrayed you! ”
Li Gu hung his head and said respectfully: "Humble position...... I don't dare to think like this! ”
"You stand up!" Han Mo's voice suddenly turned cold.
Li Gu raised his head, glanced at Han Mo, and saw Han Mo's expression unusually cold, for some reason, his heart tightened, he didn't dare to disobey, stood up, and stood in front of the case.
Han Mo frowned tightly and sneered: "Everything is not for the West Flower Hall, but for the official. He clenched his fists: "Killing several birds with one stone, what a powerful strategy...... It seems that the opponent of this official is really a great character! ”
Li Gu's eyes were at a loss, Han Mo's inexplicable words made him really unable to understand.
"Getting you suspicious of me, disagreeing with each other, is just a small purpose in their plan." Han Mo glanced at Li Gu with a grim expression: "Fortunately, the snake head didn't die tonight, otherwise...... This official is really in a dilemma! ”
Although Li Gu couldn't understand the meaning of Han Mo's words, it could be seen from Han Mo's grim face that the young hall director was very unhappy in his heart.
Li Gu is not a fool.
The strangeness revealed in this incident made him smell something unusual.
Han Mo was silent for a moment before waving his hand and saying, "You go down first...... This thing is equivalent to not happening, what to do, what to do! ”
Li Gu saw the solemn look on Han Mo's face, arched his hand, and was about to retreat.
Han Mo said coldly: "This official has always trusted you...... And you don't have to doubt the official. Someone wants my West Flower Hall to mess up, and the official ...... No one will be allowed to succeed! ”
Li Gu paused, suddenly turned around, knelt down on one knee, and saluted Han Mo respectfully, then got up, turned around and opened the door.
Han Mo actually has a big question in his heart, so far, the reason why Li Gu was arrested, even Li Gu himself realized that someone betrayed him, so there is no doubt that during the period in the middle of the incident, there is a good chance that someone leaked the news that Li Gu had entered the underground black market.
But this is also the point that Han Mo is most puzzled about.
The insiders of this matter are only three people, and they naturally have no problems, except for themselves and Li Gu, the only insider is Xue Hongsleeve.
It shouldn't be the indifferent female killer who leaked the news, right?
This made Han Mo very entangled.
Stroking the cold token in his hand, Han Mo thought about the strangeness in his mind as much as possible.
After a long time, he went out of the underground secret room, and when he went out, the dawn had appeared, and the dark officials in the courtyard had already left, and now that the matter had been satisfactorily resolved, everyone had returned to their places.
But the secrets of the night were not immediately revealed by the appearance of sunlight.
……
……
Naturally, not too many people know about the strange events that happened in the West Flower Hall, but the matter of the negotiations between the three countries is still going on like a tug-of-war, which has also become one of the topics that many people are happy to discuss after dinner.
On June 15 of the ninth year of Pingguang of Dayan, this was a good day with a high atmosphere, and the Qing envoy in the Sitong Hall also received the will of the palace, and Emperor Yan issued an order to summon the chief and deputy envoys of the Qingguo Mission.
And on this day, Han Mo also received the will of the palace, which was the will of the concubine Niangniang, and the decree was to let Han Mo bring his new daughter-in-law into the palace to meet the concubine.
According to the convention, after the wedding, Han Mo wanted to take his wife to the palace to offer tea to the concubine.
In fact, the day after the wedding, Han Mo was also preparing to enter the palace, but unfortunately the emperor went to court that day, Han Mo could only give up, and then went to the country of wind, and went for more than ten days, only to this day has not entered the palace, from a certain point of view, it is a big faux pastime.
Han Mo also didn't want to go in his heart, he cleaned up with Xiao Qian, had breakfast, and didn't dare to delay for anything else, so he hurriedly took the carriage to the palace to meet Concubine Shu.
Along the side road, all the way into the palace, to the inner court, there are eunuchs to lead to Changchun. Palace goes.
Arrived in Changchun. In the palace, Ling Yan'er had already led a few palace maids to wait at the palace gate, and when she saw Han Mo and his wife coming, she hurriedly came forward to pay respects, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the fifth young master, congratulations to the fifth young master, I have been waiting for your reward, and today is finally coming." ”
Han Mo laughed, took out the reward money that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to Ling Yan'er, asked her to distribute it to the palace maids, and then led Xiao Qian into the palace to meet Concubine Shu.
Xiao Qian was born in an aristocratic family, and she has seen a lot of big scenes, although she is in the palace, she is not nervous, but she is generous, and she has a sweet smile on her face.
"Did the woman come over to harass her afterwards?" Walking in the jade corridor, Han Mo quietly asked Ling Yan'er beside him.
That day, Concubine Xiao Guifei came to Changchun. The palace was arrogant and domineering, and even made the eunuchs and palace maids under him beat Ling Yan'er, but fortunately Han Mo made a move, otherwise Ling Yan'er would not know what she would be beaten into.
Ling Yan'er knew who the "woman" in Han Mo's mouth was, a trace of gloom crossed her eyes, and she smiled reluctantly: "Fifth Young Master, don't worry, she doesn't dare to do anything to us, the Holy Lord is in Changchun. Gong Zeng sent guards, and even made a decree, no matter who was in Changchun. If there is trouble in the palace, they will all be arrested and ...... in prison! ”
Han Mo bowed slightly, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Qian heard it from the sidelines, although it was vague, but she was not a person who liked to inquire about things, and she didn't ask much.
Concubine Shu was already waiting in the Warm Pavilion, Han Mo and his wife entered the Warm Pavilion, and Concubine Shu had already scolded with a smile: "Okay, you are a little five, you married a daughter-in-law and hid in the mansion, even the palace is reluctant to bring it over to meet?" ”
Han Mo knew that Concubine Shu's temperament was soft, although he had come to the palace for a long time to serve tea, which was very rude, but he would not be surprised to think that this cousin would not be surprised, at this time, listening to her laughing and scolding like this, he hurriedly led Xiaoqian forward, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "The minister is late to see him, and he hopes that the mother will be guilty!" ”
Xiao Qian also said respectfully: "Please condemn the mother!" ”
Concubine Shu looked gentle, smiled like a spring breeze, got up from the soft couch, stepped forward to help Xiao Qian, and didn't care about Han Mo who was kneeling on the side, just held Xiao Qian's hand, looked at it carefully, and then smiled: "Sure enough, it is a person like jade, Xiao Wu can marry you, it is his blessing!" ”
Xiao Qian just smiled sweetly and didn't dare to speak easily.
Concubine Shu glanced at Han Mo, who was still kneeling beside her, pursed her lips and smiled, and scolded with a smile: "Why, General Han, you have to help you in this palace before you are willing to get up?" ”
Han Mo glanced up at Concubine Shu, who was looking at herself with a smile, couldn't help but grin, and said loudly: "Xie Niangniang!" "I got up and stood aside with my hands down.
Ling Yan'er had already prepared the tea and brought it over, Han Mo took the tea and offered tea to Concubine Shu, this is a necessary etiquette, Concubine Shu took the teacup, took a sip gently, and then handed it to Ling Yan'er, and then took Xiao Qian's hand, sat down on the soft couch, and said softly: "Xiao Wu is lawless, if he makes you unhappy in the future, you can just say to the palace, the palace will treat him well!" ”
Xiao Qian looked at Xiang Gong who was standing on the side and was honest, grinned, nodded and said: "Xie Niangniang, if Xiang Gong is not honest, Xiao Qian will come to ask Niang Niang to call the shots!" ”
Concubine Shu seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile: "You don't know, when he was in the East China Sea, the mansion prepared rattans, and if he caused trouble, those rattans would be used against him." This palace also has rattan prepared here, as long as he makes you unhappy, this palace will use rattan to deal with him, and he will definitely clean him up! ”
Xiao Qian stuck out her tongue and grinned, but Han Mo was embarrassed.
Concubine Shu's words are true, when Han Mo was young, the great sect master Han Zhengqian really prepared rattan at hand, that is, as long as Han Mo and Han Yuan caused trouble, no matter whether it was right or wrong, the great sect master would personally beat him with rattan, and because of this, the two brothers of the Han family, they were stunned when they saw the great sect master.
