Chapter 35: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
Chapter 35: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
The Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who was originally not in high spirits, had a softer expression on his face after Ning Jun's face for the country, and the guests of the whole banquet were happy, and they were like a picture of singing and dancing.
Since Wang Zhiwei and others started the song and dance performance, they have never been willing to take their eyes off those dancing girls. Originally, when the emperor was still there, he could still pretend to be restrained, and when Sima Wei handed over the next reception to Sima Xun, the seventh prince, and left with the queen mother's concubines, Wang Zhiwei and others were revealed.
Seeing that the glamorous dancer on the stage was about to leave after dancing a song, several people found an excuse to leave the banquet and chased after them. Seeing this, Xu Mengmeng quietly gave Jinchen not far behind him a suggestive look, and then buried his head and continued his great business of eating and drinking.
After receiving Xu Mengmeng's eyes, Jinchen quietly left and chased after the three of them. Seeing that he was about to catch up with the three people in front of him, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side of the rockery and blocked his way.
"Little leaf?" Jinchen frowned and looked at the visitor, his face full of puzzlement.
"Someone wants to do something to Wang Shangshu's son today, we don't have to do it!" The ordinary-looking, petite little eunuch pulled Jinchen to a hidden place and whispered.
"What? How did you find out? ”
"Since a few days ago I received the news that the young lady took advantage of Yuemei to go out of the palace to let her bring over, I have been very cautious in doing things recently, just after noon today, I was about to give laxatives to the little bamboo on duty in the imperial study tonight as planned, but who happened to hear him and the chief manager of the Jingshi room Chen discussing the killing of Wang Zhiwei and blaming Zhu Tianrui tonight.
So just now when I saw you following Wang Zhiwei and them, I quickly stopped you, so as not to meet you and Xiaozhuzi and them for a while. ”
"Do you have anyone who you can find out who they are?" Since someone made a move, Jinchen didn't plan to follow him anymore.
"I don't know, Xiao Zhuzi has always been taciturn and doesn't like to communicate with people, and Manager Chen and I have never crossed paths, and I have never heard of him having contact with those concubines and princes on weekdays!" Xiao Yezi shook his head, if he hadn't bumped into him by chance today, how could he know that these two people were actually in the same camp?
"In that case, I'll go back to the general first, you must find an opportunity to find out who these two people are, and pay attention to safety in the palace and act carefully!" Originally, leaving the banquet place at this time was an eye-catching and risky act, and Jinchen didn't plan to stay longer.
After the two separated, Jinchen quickly returned to the banquet place.
Jinchen's ability is not bad, and he has the internal response of Xiaoyezi, Xu Mengmeng was not worried that the plan would fail, but who knew that when he turned his head, he saw that Jinchen, who had just left not long ago, had returned to his original position.
She knew that it was impossible to complete the task in such a short time, and in an instant, she had no intention of eating and drinking nonsense, and her face was full of anxiety, but fortunately, she was covered by a mask so that she would not be discovered by others.
It's too bad now, Jinchen's mission has failed, and it is estimated that Wang Gang's old thing will not be able to be moved for a while, so where will the case of Baifu start?
When Sima Zhao woke up, he found himself lying on the ground, remembering the man in black he met before he fell unconscious, he immediately woke up and wanted to call someone, but suddenly heard the voice of his friend Wang Zhiwei, so he followed the sound and walked over.
"Zhu Tianrui, my father is a dignified first-class scholar, you are just the son of a second-class master, even if the concubine is your aunt, but if I don't cover you on weekdays, how can you be today? How dare you be so ignorant of lifting, even if you argue with me about the girl, you dare to rob me of the dancing girl today? You just go to the underworld and grab it! Hahahaha~"
After Wang Zhiwei finished saying this, Sima Zhao, who was not far behind the gauze tent, saw the man who looked very much like Wang Zhiwei on the gauze tent raised a dagger and stabbed the person underground, and the hair crown of the person on the ground was exposed.
"Manager Chen, the prince has already run away, let's leave as soon as possible!"
"Hey, it was Wang Zhiwei who was originally planned to be killed, but now it is Zhu Tianrui who is dead, and I don't know if the master will blame him?" After Mr. Chen stuffed the bloody dagger in his hand into the hands of Wang Zhiwei, who was still unconscious, he left with the person who spoke.
"Oh no, kill someone, kill someone!" Sima Zhao stumbled all the way back to the banquet, and when he approached the table, he fell to the ground from excessive fright.
"Brother Zhao, be cautious, you are so reckless, what kind of system have you become!" Sima Xun gave him a warning look.
"Kill, kill, Wang Zhiwei and him...... Kill Zhu Tianrui" However, Sima Zhao had already lost his cool at this time, and he couldn't listen to him at all, muttering to himself.
"What? What do you think I'm Rui'er? Zhu Ping, who was originally quite calm, was not calm when he heard that his son had an accident.
"Dead dead, okay...... A lot of blood...... Not me...... It's Wang Zhiwei...... Yes, he killed him, he ......"
"Where are they?"
"Over there," Sima Zhao stretched out his hand and pointed tremblingly to the way he came.
Xu Mengmeng thought that this plan was in vain, and couldn't help but feel a little bored, and was hanging his head silently thinking about the next plan, when he was stunned by Sima Zhao's frightened words.
What's going on? Didn't Jinchen make a move? Why did you still get the results you wanted?
Something like this happened, the ministers obviously didn't have the heart to continue drinking, so they went to the place where the incident occurred under the leadership of Sima Xun, and just walked to the door of the imperial study, and collided with Wang Zhiwei who was covered with blood in his hands.
"It's not me, I didn't kill Zhu Tianrui, no" Wang Zhiwei shouted incoherently when he saw that he was being hit squarely.
"Rui'er" Zhu Ping quickly rushed in, looking at his son lying in a pool of blood and almost bursting his eyes.
"Boy, I'll kill you" Zhu Ping stepped forward and was about to pinch Wang Zhiwei's neck, but was stopped by Wang Gang.
"Wang Gang, your son killed my son, I want him to pay for my son's life!"
"Zhu Ping, if you want to move my son, step over my corpse first!"
"Do you think I don't dare?"
"Stop, as my minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, how can you be so graceless at this moment!" Just when the two were arguing, Sima Huan's voice sounded from behind, and it turned out that when he had just seen that the place where the incident happened was the imperial study, Sima Xun sent someone to inform him.
"The dog was killed by Wang Gang's son, and the human and material evidence is there, so I ask the emperor to be the master of the old minister!" Zhu Ping ignored Sima Wei's darkening complexion, knelt on the ground suddenly, and pointed at Wang Zhiwei, who was hiding behind Wang Gang, and said sadly.
"Your Majesty, the envoys of the two countries must have come from afar, and they must have been a little tired, so why don't you take the envoys to rest for a while with Weichen and Lord Sun of the Ministry of Rites!" Seeing that the matter had been done, Xu Mengmeng hurriedly sold one to the emperor.
"What Ning Aiqing said is very true, Aiqing and Sun Shangshu will be responsible for entertaining the envoys!" Hearing Xu Mengmeng's words, Sima Jian cast a glance of appreciation at him, ignored Zhu Ping, who was kneeling on the ground, and said directly to Xu Mengmeng.
"Second prince, General Ye, Ning will take you to Fanfang for a short rest, please!"
"Your Majesty still has important matters to deal with, so I won't bother anymore and leave!" The envoys on both sides bowed to Sima Ji quite interestingly, and then followed Xu Mengmeng's pace.
Seeing this, all the ministers also retreated with interest, and for a while, only Sima Ji, Sima Xun, Wang Gang and his son, and Zhu Ping were left in front of the entire imperial study.
"Come on, put Wang Zhiwei in prison and behead him on a certain day!" Sima Wei, who was holding back his anger, could finally vent it.
"Your Majesty, my son must have been framed, please be aware of everything!" Wang Gang was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.
"Wang Gang, even if Zhu Ping's son was not killed by your son, it is also a capital crime for him to trespass into the imperial study! Think for yourself! Hmph~" Sima Wei didn't want to listen to their nonsense anymore, so he threw his sleeves away angrily.
