Chapter Forty-Eight: The White Blade in the Throat
"Your Highness. Mr. Jiang is back. ”
King Shou heard the servant's words and turned back to the study. In the study, Jiang Huaixin was already waiting to see King Shou come in, and he handed over the book in his hand with a long gesture.
"What's your catch?" King Shou motioned for him to sit down and answer.
"My subordinates have visited for many days, and the garden is indeed Tang's." Jiang Huaixin pondered for a while and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates have poured yellow soup for Tang and the others a few times, and they have made some friendships. While he was drunk, he revealed to his subordinates that Zhang Qin had an account book in his hand. The account book recorded in detail the various expenditures and incomes in the garden, and several important members of the imperial court were on the books."
As soon as these words came out, King Shou's face was even more happy. I didn't expect Jiang Huaixin to go like this, but he really got such useful information from Tang and the others. If he can use Tang and the others, he may be able to make him a pawn that can severely damage the place.
Although the pawn is the last of the chessboard, it has the ability to attack and defend.
King Shou remembered it clearly, but he didn't know that someone had raised a butcher's knife above his head and was waiting for the opportunity to fall.
With the moment the Lu family left Beijing, some keen people have felt that the wind direction in the capital has begun to change quietly, and countless times of wind and clouds seem to be brewing a stormy wave.
Xie Yaoguang sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, recalling the gaze of King Shou just now, and couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart. Lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions that were surging in his eyes.
The carriage stopped in front of King Shou's Mansion for a long time, and the coachman sent by Su Yu didn't dare to ask more, so he could only wait patiently.
Halfway through, Xie Yaoguang opened his eyes, and his ink-colored pupils were cold. The head of the jaw motioned to Suzaku to inform the coachman that he could go, and heard the sound of whipping in his ears.
After the carriage stopped in the backyard of Lanxing Tower, he instructed Suzaku to pay the coachman a piece of silver. He walked through the flowers and trees to the water pavilion.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Gu Qingzhi sitting inside, and when he saw Xie Yaoguang coming in, Gu Qingzhi beckoned to her, signaling her to come over quickly. took off the cloak and handed it to the maid, and slowly walked towards Gu Qingzhi.
"Why are you looking for me again?" Xie Yaoguang glanced at her with tea, and said angrily.
"It's like you don't welcome me." Gu Qingzhi looked at her peaceful face and said with a soft smile: "I'm here to congratulate you on getting rid of the Lu family, and by the way, I will bring you a gift." ”
took out a tightly wrapped booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Xie Yaoguang, bowing his head to signal her to look at the contents. Xie Yaoguang took the things handed over by Gu Qingzhi, and when she opened it and looked at the contents, she crawled out of her eyes in horror, closed her eyes and threw the booklet in her hand aside.
"Lu Huan gave it to you?" Xie Yaoguang squinted his gaze on Gu Qingzhi's face, and his expression was solemn.
"Tsk, I really can't hide it from you. I want to help you, I can't bear to let you fight with so many people alone. ”
Seeking skin with a tiger is nothing more than this.
Gu Qingzhi is still wearing a light scarlet official uniform, and it is obvious that she has come to Lanxing Tower to wait for her.
The two have known each other since childhood, at that time, although Gu Qingzhi was born in the last branch of the Gu family, and her status as a young lady from the side line was very different, but at that time, because of her noble status, there was no playmate in the family, and after she begged her grandfather, she finally chose a girl from the side branch to study and learn words with her.
That person was Gu Qingzhi.
The two have known each other for seventeen years now. When the Gu family suffered a great change, he was worried that his best friend would also be arrested and imprisoned.
Fortunately, my friend escaped. Recalling the past, he couldn't help but hold his best friend's hand, Xie Yaoguang's eyes gradually turned red, and the tip of his nose became more and more sour.
"Okay, don't cry" Seeing that there were tears in her eyes, Gu Qingzhi hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, and teased: "Cry again, how will you explain if you meet His Royal Highness King Ding." is a good beauty, if you cry again, it won't look good. ”
The past was vivid, Xie Yaoguang's heart couldn't help but warm up, and he said solemnly: "You are so flamboyant, didn't you learn from Yun Fan." Tsk, I used to worry about whether Yun Fan would bully you, but now it seems that I am too worried. Yun Fan, he doesn't think he will have a chance to bully you in this life. ”
Yun Fan and Gu Qingzhi can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and they are very affectionate. It's just that Gu Qingzhi has always been uninterested in her life's events, and Yun Fan often talks to her. In addition, the two elders are also happy with the current situation, so they simply let these two people make trouble.
Gu Qingzhi shook her head and couldn't help frowning: "Don't mention him." What do you think of this roster? It also felt that it was indeed given to me by Lu Huan. ”
The list contains a list of dozens of corrupt officials from all over the court. The weight of this roster is enough to weigh a thousand pounds, and there is a hidden blade under the black and white letters, and every name on the paper seems to have a life charm pasted on it. But it is also a reminder for the bookkeeper.
"I don't know how you got this from Lu Huan. But Qingzhi, don't meddle in this matter if you listen to me" Xie Yaoguang sighed, his tone heavy: "You just pretend that you haven't seen it, and I will deal with this list." ”
"I went to see Lu Huan before he was beheaded, and he didn't believe anyone. But somehow as soon as he saw me, he felt that I was a credible person, so he gave me the roster" Gu Qingzhi seemed to think of something, and sighed lightly: "Heh, he said that he believes that one day someone will clear the clouds and the world will be clear." ”
Xie Yaoguang smiled lightly when he heard this. Yes, one day the clouds will disappear.
"You're looking for me today just to give me the roster?"
Gu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and laughed sneeringly: "It's not all, I didn't expect you to force the Lu family out of the capital so quickly." Don't you know that the prince looked at King Shou recently, as if he was going to eat people."
"If the crown prince is smart, he should understand that it is best for him for the Lu family to leave." Xie Yaoguang pulled his lips and smiled meaningfully: "It's not good to keep your eyes in one place."
Although the crown prince and King Shou are two brothers. But if you really want to compare all aspects of the prince, it is really not as lively as King Shou's mind and knows how to figure out the holy will.
Judging from Rong Guifei's methods last time, if he thought carefully about stopping Rong Guifei's actions, he would not have ended up at this point.
Compared to King Shou's mind, if the prince hadn't been secretly protected by the emperor, I am afraid that he would have been pulled off the horse by King Shou.
On the other hand, although King Shou is active, it is a pity that he is as sensitive and suspicious as His Majesty. And he was too anxious for quick success, and he got a little handle from the prince, just like how to calculate the prince. As everyone knows, the monarch hates this the most.
"The prince is narrow-minded. But I didn't expect Lu Lingshan to agree to you so easily. Gu Qingzhi peeled a peanut and threw it into her mouth, and said suspiciously: "Doesn't he think you are clever and sophistry?"
"Master Lu is a smart person who will weigh the pros and cons"
Lu Lingshan is an old fox who has become a spirit. Since Lu Huan had an accident, he was in a wait-and-see state until King Shou attacked again, and found out that the grandson of the second room of the Lu family was doing things on the salt ground, and he didn't panic much.
Dafang pushed out the people in the second room to test the emperor's attitude and began to play with the emperor. Compared with others, Lu Lingshan is a person who is more familiar with Emperor Li's mental methods, and Emperor Li is also a jackal who has experienced bloody succession.
