Chapter 12: Assassination
At this time, some of his subordinates reported that the soldiers guarding the door of Kongxiangsha's room had caught a sneaky person, and they suspected that it was the person who shot arrows at Kongxiangsha last time.
"Take it down and send it to the Qilin Palace, let Gu personally interrogate it!" Emperor Wuding said.
"No!" The men quickly tied up the suspect and took him to the Qilin Palace.
"The people in the audience, is it you who shot sharp arrows at the sky that day? Recruit from the truth, and if there is a lie, bury it alive. Emperor Wuding asked.
"Ask the king to spare his life! Beg the king to spare his life! The small one was only the smallest messenger in the palace, and when he passed by there, he saw many people guarding the door of the empty Xiangsha, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks. I didn't know that they tied me up, and the little one was still confused. The kneeling man in the audience was dressed in the costume of a Shang Dynasty soldier and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy.
"Are you really not an undercover agent sent by Hijikata?" Emperor Wuding was suspicious.
"Undercover? What undercover agent? The small one is really not, the small one is just a person who works in the palace, please check it out to the emperor! The people in the audience said seriously, not like lying.
"King, I guess he really caught the wrong person, I don't think he is lying." The woman watched from the side for a long time, and couldn't help but say to Emperor Wuding, "Don't blame the good people!" ”
"It's just nonsense! Just catch a passerby and come over on an errand? Emperor Wuding was very angry and roared at the soldiers who were doing things, and the soldiers knelt down one after another when they heard this, and said, "We are just suspicious, ask the king to investigate!" ”
"Who are your generals?" Emperor Wuding asked again.
"My general is Suo Bofan, and I originally came to the palace with him to do business. I have a strong sense of curiosity, and I do feel empty when I wander around the palace, after all, the palace is a forbidden place, and no outsiders are allowed to enter. I didn't expect the fears to happen, and they tied me up like a bad guy. The audience said.
"King, I heard that Suo Bofan presented Mao Qiu to the Queen Mother." The woman said on the side.
"Pass on Suo Bofan!" Emperor Wuding said, and after a while, Suo Bofan arrived panting, "Weichen see King Wuding!" Soberfan said with both hands.
"Sobofan! Do you know the person who was arrested in the audience? King Wuding asked.
"Of course! He was my attendant for many years. Some time ago, I broke my head, damaged my intelligence, and was a little silly. Soberfan replied.
"I see! Gu Zheng wondered how Minister Lone's soldiers could be so unruly and would break into the residence of the Lone Le Officer and be regarded as a secret agent? "Emperor Wuding seemed to be talking to them, and it was like talking to himself, and then ordered them to release them.
Guarding the door of the empty Xiangsha room day and night for more than ten days, just as the soldiers gradually got tired and began to take it lightly, with a premonition that nothing would happen, and when they were about to withdraw the troops, suddenly the empty Xiangsha screamed, the soldiers pushed the door in, and the empty Xiangsha fell to the ground and groaned, one of the soldiers helped her up and asked her what happened just now? How did it fall to the ground? She whispered that she didn't know what was going on, and that a person had just suddenly flown in from the roof, dressed in black, and wearing a black mask, and couldn't see his face clearly. Sprinkled some powder in front of her nose, and she just felt a wave of vertigo and fell to the ground. They looked at the roof, and the tiles on the roof had been removed, revealing a large hole that shone in some sunlight, faintly glaring. This person is not small, and he seems to be able to fly to the sky. After saying this, Empty Xiangsha turned his head away, and he fainted, and he couldn't wake up again. Several soldiers tiptoed to carry Kongxiangsha to the bed, and they immediately went to report the matter to Emperor Wuding.
"You are really not enough to accomplish and more than to fail! Guarding the door of the empty music officer day and night, he didn't catch the murderer! Emperor Wuding said angrily, and then continued to ask, "Is the person who hurt Void Xiangsha the same person these two times?" The soldier replied that he didn't know either.
Either way, it's important to save people first. Emperor Wuding immediately dispatched Wei Susu, the female imperial physician with the highest medical skills in the palace, to Kongxiangsha's residence to treat her. After hearing the news, the woman also hurried to Kong Xiangsha's residence. Wei Susu gave her a pulse, it is not clear what kind of poison she has, she can only use the general antidote method, she prescribed a medicine list, asked the soldiers to go to the infirmary to grab some herbs for her, took them to the kitchen to cook a decoction, and served her to drink. She then wrapped the powder that had been scattered on the ground in a piece of paper and brought it back.
Three days later, the empty phase sha gradually woke up, but her complexion was still poor and her spirit was low. In order to prescribe the right medicine, Wei Susu has been studying the powder collected from the ground for the past few days, and after she took it back and carefully analyzed it, she finally knew what kind of poison it was, this poison is called poison phagocytosis. It is said that it is the poison of the bat fan gate, the so-called bat fan gate is a kind of underground rebellion organization within the imperial court, they have some resistance to some political systems of the Shang Dynasty, because some of the provisions of the article invisibly violate their interests, so they secretly formed a faction. I heard about it earlier, and now it has finally surfaced. It's just that I don't know why they poisoned the Void Phase Sha at this time. After soliciting the opinion of Wei Susu, the woman asked Qiu Yue to go back to Yuanlu Courtyard to collect some miraculous herbs that dispel poison, boil them into a decoction and serve them to her. A week later, the empty phase was radiant and radiant. After knowing that it was the imperial doctor Wei Susu and the woman who saved him, Kong Xiangsha could only be grateful.
"When they were repairing the empty phase's room, they picked up one of these on the roof." Emperor Wuding handed a bronze bat tag to the woman, who took it and looked at it carefully for a long time.
"Lord Qiqi, this is a bat." The woman said, holding the license plate.
"That's right! The person who wanted to kill the empty phase sha was actually done by the bat door. Emperor Wuding said.
"But why did they attack the Void Phase? Could it be that they have secretly colluded with the earthwork to subvert our Yin Shang? The woman asked worriedly.
"Quite possibly! Gu Da Yin Shang is now in a period of internal and external troubles, so you can't relax when leading troops to practice! Emperor Wuding admonished.
The woman nodded seriously and said, "I have lived in Jiaohua Palace for a long time this time, and I will leave for Yuanlu Courtyard tomorrow." Emperor Wuding nodded and agreed.
"Suo Bofan, the bat door has surfaced, you must find out the bat door and remove it!" Emperor Wuding said to Suo Bofan again, and Fu Shuo, who was standing on the side, also nodded in agreement.
"Wechen obeys!" Soberfan replied, and retreated.
Suo Bofan is a virtuous minister of Emperor Wuding, he has always been obedient to Emperor Wuding, and extremely intelligent and intelligent, he can always do things arranged by Emperor Wuding to make Emperor Wuding satisfied. When he returned, he racked his brain to think about everything he had heard about the manta door. From these clues, Suo Bofan finally had some thoughts. "Capture the thief and capture the king first!" Suo Bofan arranged for his subordinates to go around, and finally learned the name of the leader of the rebel organization - the Black Bat.
