Chapter 19: Killing for the New Year

In the Ming'an Palace.

Gu Xi and Gu Jin sat opposite each other.

On the table between the two, there was the Nanmu pipe that Li Sangrou brought back, the store calendar of the old Anfu number, and the official documents and official document inventory stolen from Shao Mingren in Jiangning City. and the base list of the library tickets that were issued from Jianle City, and a stack of confessions.

Gu Xi sat upright, his face gloomy, and he couldn't take his eyes off Gu Jin opposite.

Gu Jin was looking at the things on the table in the same way.

After reading the same, Gu Jin raised his head and looked at Gu Xi.

"Liu Yun is Yun Xi, the young eunuch of the Inner Servant Province, the apprentice of the eunuch, in August, he happened to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and he was not in the palace.

I've already sent people to check on his ancestors.

Yun Xi took the jade talisman and matched the password, which drove Fan Ping'an.

The jade talisman may be stolen by Yun Xi, this password can only be told to him by others, who told him?

The herb that made me lose all my strength was given to Fan Ping'an by Yun Xi, who gave this herb to Yun Xi?

How many people know about these herbs?

The person who went to write this museum ticket was Zhou Fu, the chief steward of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, and Zhou Fu said that he was ordered by Shen Yun.

Is it really Shen Yun's order? Shen He doesn't know? ”

Gu Xi gritted his teeth word by word.

"What are you going to do?"

Gu Jin's face turned pale, and he looked at Gu Xi and asked.

"I have already written the fold, handed it over, and tomorrow morning, I will present these incriminating evidence to the emperor in public."

Gu Xi raised his head slightly, and his eyes flashed with desperate madness.

Gu Jin lowered his eyes and looked at the things on the table.

The fold is handed over, and before the fold is handed to the emperor, it will be copied to all parts of the world, that is, the world.

"I'm going to see the emperor." After being silent for a long time, Gu Jin looked at Gu Xi and said, "I still think that this matter has nothing to do with the emperor." You're waiting for me right here. ”

"Okay." Gu Xi simply agreed.

Gu Jin rattled the bell and called the waiter in, and the waiter pushed him out, changed his shoulder, and went to Shouning Hall to ask for a meeting.

But in a quarter of an hour, Gu Jin came out of the Shouning Palace, got on his shoulders and went back.

In the Shouning Palace, the emperor had a gloomy face and looked at the eunuch who moved out from behind the screen.

"Did you hear it all?" The emperor looked away and looked at the sun outside the palace gate.

With the eunuch kneeling on the ground and leaning down, "the clouds like and dislike and rebel are intolerable......

"Brother Jin'er's words, didn't you hear them? This is not something that Yun Xi can afford. ”

The emperor frowned and interrupted the eunuch's words.

The eunuch froze.

"You've been waiting by my side for decades, and you've worked hard." The emperor looked at him and said slowly.

As the eunuch's forehead touched the ground, for a while, he said in a dumb voice:

"It is the blessing of the old slave to be able to wait by the emperor's side for decades, thank the emperor."

"Go ahead." The emperor no longer looked at the eunuchs, moved, and picked up a folding, "You can also take care of those archers." ”

……………………

Gu Shizi's assassination case was in a muddy and clueless situation, and the truth was revealed, but Pan Xiang didn't feel any ease, he only felt a chill in his back.

With the eunuch stole the jade talisman, instructed the spy deputy envoy in the capital of the Southern Liangjiang River to assassinate Gu Shizi, and colluded with Shen Yun, the younger brother of the Marquis of Yongping, under the pretense of the imperial order, mobilized archers to intercept and kill Gu Shizi in Beidong County.

With the eunuch sentenced to hanging, his apprentice, the young eunuch Yun Xi and the other thirty-six palace attendants, were decided.

Shen Yun made a decision, and Shen He, the Marquis of Yongping, failed to gather his family, was fined fifty rods, fined three years, and went to Prince Rui's mansion to bear the guilt.

……………………

Gu Xi carried the confession of the eunuch and sneered.

Gu Jin, who was sitting across from him, rubbed his eyebrows and looked tired, "What else do you want?" What else could it be? ”

Gu Xi snorted coldly and didn't speak.

"Kill Prince Rui? That's your biological father, the father kills the son, except for suffering, but an escape word, what can you do? What do you want to do? Do you want to kill your father?

Kill the Marquis of Yongping?

Marquis Yongping can kill, and you can even destroy the Shen family.

But if you kill him, who else can compete with you in the future? Dare to stand up to you?

Without the Yongping Marquis Mansion, how can you reassure the emperor in the future?

Haven't you put yourself on top of the blade?

The people you can kill at any time, the people you can destroy, it's better to keep them, it's better to keep them!

Yongping Hou only has Shen Yun's younger brother, and the Shen family's descendants have only two branches, Yongping Hou and Shen Yun, and now they have cut off one, which is enough. ”

Gu Jin looked directly at Gu Xi and said.

Gu Xi's eyes narrowed slightly: "With the eunuch when he was ten years old, he followed the emperor to wait, he has no father, no mother, no children and no daughters, even this surname is also collected at the house, he is a few years older than the emperor."

A person like him, for the sake of the future, wants to curry favor with Yongning Bofu and the Shen family, and has done such a rebellious thing against the emperor.

What future does he have? For whom is he going to plan for the future?

It's a joke! ”

"If you can see it, so can others."

Gu Jin raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, his voice was slow:

"In the past few decades, who doesn't know that the emperor trusts the eunuch the most and treats him as a relative, but the emperor still gave up the eunuch.

That's enough, this apology, that's all it can be.

Otherwise, what else do you want? What else can you do? ”

Gu Xi pursed his lips tightly, and after a while, he took a deep breath, "Shen He wants to come to the door to make amends, let him kneel at the gate of the palace for a day!" ”

"Whatever you want." Gu Jin nodded.

……………………

Li Sangrou, the black horse, and the golden retriever were crowded in the crowd, tiptoeing, stretching their necks to watch the bustle at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion.

On a cold day, Yongping Marquis Shen He only had a single coat on his upper body, carrying a thorn strip on his back, and knelt outside the gate of Prince Rui's mansion with his head down.

Four or five incomparably prosperous charcoal basins surrounded Yongping Hou, and more than a dozen gatekeepers stood at the foot of the steps with their heads bowed, slumping over from time to time, half-squatting and half-kneeling to change the charcoal in the charcoal basin.

Seeing clearly, Li Sangrou took a few steps back and motioned to the dark horse and the golden retriever, "It looks like it's still early, find a place to sit for a while, I haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”

"Boss, how do you know it's still early?"

The black horse put his hands on his sleeve and took a few steps to follow Li Sangrou and asked.

"Don't you see the charcoal basin? If you don't know how to kneel for a while, you can put a charcoal basin? ”

Li Sangrou was in a happy mood and taught the dark horse a few words seriously.

With the eunuch died, Yongping Hou's own brother died, Yongping Hou knelt like this again, and this Jianle City could stay.

She loves to build a city.

"The boss always says you can't see with your eyes, really!

Look at you, those five or six big charcoal pots are not lice on the bald head, they are the big horse monkeys on the bald head! You're even asking! ”

The Golden Retriever immediately pouted and despised the dark horse.

"I saw the charcoal basin, I didn't expect it, did you think of it? Do you dare to say you thought of it? ”

The dark horse glared at the golden retriever.

"That copper shop, the charcoal pots at the door are in good style, let's go and have a good meal."

Li Sangrou happily nodded to the red copper shop next to her, and walked into a small food shop.

The three of them had breakfast, bought charcoal pots, bought two truckloads of charcoal, sent them to fried rice Hutong, and then had lunch, and Yongping Hou was still kneeling at the door of Prince Rui's mansion.

Li Sangrou didn't look at it, and ordered the dark horse and the golden retriever, who had already bought a lot of bets, to watch it, and walked back to the fried rice alley.

Dachang first collected more than a dozen large red copper charcoal basins, and then collected two large carts of charcoal, and when he saw Li Sangrou coming back, he laughed before he said anything.

"I can't find anyone in Layue, it's too late this year, so I'll call someone to repair the earth dragon at the beginning of the year?"

"Okay." Li Sangrou smiled and handed the pine nut candy and a large bag of melon seeds in his hand to Dachang, "I'm tired of these few months, let's have a good New Year." ”

"Then early tomorrow morning, Heima and I will go to buy a pig, and buy a few sheep, as well as chickens, fish, ducks, and many other things.

Dachang plucked the bamboo basket hanging under the porch and put pine nut candy and melon seeds in it.

Li Sangrou responded casually, dragged a bamboo chair out, sat in the sun, basked in the sun and looked at the book, and took a nap from reading.

These days, she is tense and vigilant day and night, exhausted.
