Chapter 295: For the hands of thieves

"This ...... What is it? He looked at the "stain" on his fingers at some point, and he was puzzled and frightened.

"I've painted different colors under the table, under the curtains, and in the cracks of the bookshelves, and if you've rummaged through there, you're bound to leave marks on your hands, just like you do now." Lu Ying explained to him with a smile, a little careless in her words.

"But, Lord Lu, why are you doing this?" Puzzled questions.

"Why, you don't know?" Lu Ying asked him rhetorically.

He walked to the painted corners, examined the scattered movements, and put them back in place.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're going to get these pieces out of here."

The waiter nodded, still a little confused: "I've rummaged through many places, so what?" ”

"Turned over other places?" Lu Ying sneered, "I don't think so." I've smeared paint in other places, but it's all white. Do you see the slightest trace of white paint on your hands? ”

The attendant looked at his hand again, and there was indeed no white on it.

"This means that you only found these few places where the music was hidden, and you didn't touch anything else. So what kind of coincidence can make the servant you have nothing to lose, and you can find it immediately? ”

The servant was startled and fell to his knees.

"Of course, it's because you already know where these pieces are hidden, so you can find them so accurately. And who hid the music in these private places, I don't need to say. ”

"My lord, you spare me, my lord," knelt in front of Lu Ying, pulled his trouser leg and begged, "I don't dare anymore, don't tell Princess Yuanping, I know it's wrong, you just don't see it, okay?" ”

Lu Ying's expression finally sank, and there was even some gloom in front of him, and he kicked him away.

"Go tell Princess Yuanping these words."

He said coldly, but the attendant lost his expectation and sat down on the ground.

When the day was set, the recital redrafted by the ministers of the court and the central government was delivered to Shi Wang's desk on time, and it was full, piling up half of the desk.

Shi Wang had to get busy again, except for the previous dynasty to approve the recitals, he couldn't even return to the house, and even the meals were solved in the house.

The king's servant accompanied Shi Wang after taking leave, but Shi Wang didn't ask his opinion on everything as before, which made the king's servant a little surprised.

He stood upside by side, just standing like a scarecrow, sometimes glancing at the busy Shiwang with some contempt.

But as he stood up, he felt that something was wrong, and he always looked restlessly left and right, and his face became more and more confused.

"Princess, the other Zhou servant here was transferred away by the princess, why didn't you see him for a day today?" He finally asked.

"Oh, he," Shi Wang, still focused on the song in his hand, not looking up at him, "he's dead." She said coldly.

"Dead?" The king's servants were frightened.

"He secretly possessed the pieces handed over by the ministers, one failed to fulfill his duties, the second committed the crime, and the third disregarded state affairs, so he should naturally be killed." Shi Wang casually pointed to a corner outside the hall, "It's the one who died there, let the soldiers kill it with a sword, it's very fast." ”

Wang Cong's attendant suddenly broke into a cold sweat: "He...... Should I be guilty of this crime? ”

"There are all human and material evidence, what can you do if you don't recognize it." Shi Wang raised his head and smiled at him, "Moreover, before the soldier made a move, in order to protect himself, he also revealed the accomplice behind it." ”

Looking at Shi Wang's smiling face, the king servant seemed to be targeted by death, and a gust of yin wind blew from the princess's side to his side.

"And the accomplice, the princess has arrested him?" Wang Cong's attendant asked cautiously.

"That's not good, there aren't many servants in this palace, if they are all killed, when the Queen Mother comes back, who can assist her." Wang Cong, did you say that this palace did the right thing? ”

"The princess is tolerant and generous, which is a blessing for the son." Wang Congzhi smiled awkwardly.

"It's not necessarily generous. This palace has already alerted that person, and I believe that he will not dare to do such a thing again in the future. And, in the future, he will be uneasy?? spent the rest of his days in the palace, worrying every moment about whether this matter would be poked out, whether it would be disposed of, or whether he would die. This kind of torment is no more painful than dying directly. The king's servants must have felt the pain as well. ”

The king pursed the corners of his mouth, unable to speak anymore.

After this day, Wang Congzhi never set foot in the palace where Princess Yuanping was located, and Shi Wang only had Lu Ying by his side, but it was much faster than usual.

"Sister Wang, if you just let go of that Wang servant, will your punishment be lighter? Have you forgotten how embarrassed you were by the courtiers because of the fact that the music was hidden? ”

Lu Ying was full of unevenness, and when she thought of the situation at that time, there was a fire in her heart.

"It's not up to him to decide what he wants to do, what's the difference between punishing one or two more, wouldn't it be good to achieve the desired effect."

"Effect, what effect?" Lu Ying was puzzled.

"Deterrence, of course. All he did was the Queen Mother's dismissal for me, and now he is doing the opposite, and I don't know who gave whom the dismissal. ”

"The Queen Mother?" Lu Ying was surprised, "You mean, the person behind him is the Queen Mother?" But why did the Queen Mother do this? ”

"I didn't want to doubt the Queen Mother. It stands to reason that it is not good for her to hide the chapter and affect the government. Later, I realized what the benefits of doing this would be for her. ”

Shi Wang put down his pen, and his whole body was wrapped in an inexplicable cold for a while, and the fierce color in his eyes was also something he didn't usually have.

"She temporarily handed over to me the government affairs that she had not had time to deal with, and even deliberately left a few difficult affairs, just to see me make a fool of myself. The king's attendant was ordered by the Queen Mother from the beginning to disturb me, in order to let me retreat from the difficulty, put down the government affairs, and transfer it back to the Queen Mother in the way of flying pigeon letters, so that I could make a fool of myself in front of the ministers and admit that I could not afford this responsibility, and the Queen Mother was the mainstay of the court, and only she could handle everything properly. ”

If Shi Wang really followed the trajectory she wanted, she would not only lose the trust of the ministers, but also the qualification to argue with her in the future.

A person who can't even reach one-tenth of the Queen Mother, and a person who can't meet the simplest requirements for the review of the legato chapter, how can he have outstanding performance in other political affairs.

"But she's too irresponsible," Lu Ying said angrily, "No matter what you say, these things are also related to the lifeblood of the country, how can you use them like this." ”

Shi Wang looked at Lu Ying, who was even angrier than himself, chuckled, turned around and comforted: "Thanks to the clever plan you proposed, otherwise I wouldn't have found out the culprit of the trouble so quickly." ”
