Chapter 303: The Man Behind the Scenes
The next moment, the figure was swinging, and the whole person was convulsing there as if he was nervous, and after a while, the snot flowed back to its original state.
Tolerance couldn't help but exclaim, "This girl, what did you do to him?" ”
The woman in white glanced back, didn't pay attention, but said lightly to the figure: "Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”
The figure replied stiffly: "Master Pang! ”
Bao Zheng was taken aback and said loudly: "This is impossible!" ”
The woman in white ignored it and continued to ask, "What is his purpose in doing this?" ”
"Taishi Pang colluded with my Liao people, and wanted to destroy the alliance between the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo, and give a gift to my Liao people."
The man in black chuckled: "It's really no surprise, these officials have been like this since ancient times!" ”
"No, this is impossible, although Master Pang is a little arrogant, he is still a courtier of the imperial court, how can he destroy the plan of the imperial court and his relatives and serve the Liao people?" Bao Zheng shouted.
The man in black frowned slightly: "Is it your share here to speak?" ”
Bao Zheng was just about to speak, but Chu Chu quickly covered his mouth and whispered in his ear.
"You don't want to die? These people kill people without blinking, no matter what they do, just watch silently, don't say much, keep their words and deeds in mind, and turn around and tell Luzhou Mansion Yin. ”
Bao Zheng came to his senses, nodded slightly, and stopped struggling.
Chu Chu breathed a sigh of relief and slowly put his hand down.
Looking down at Gongsun Ce, who was unconscious, and then at Bao Heitan, Ling Chuchu sighed slightly in his heart: Why did he have such two living treasure friends, which made people break their hearts.
She didn't want to, if she hadn't brought the two of them to the Hundred Ghost Bamboo Forest tonight, she wouldn't have encountered this series of unlucky things.
After a few simple questions, the woman in white flashed back to the chariot.
"Since Master Pang is involved, this matter is not something that our brothers and sisters can handle, let's report to Master Meng Po, please tell me what to do next!" The woman in white picked up the teacup again and said lightly.
The man in black thought thoughtfully: "Although the Great Song Dynasty is weak, I didn't expect it to be so weak, Master Pang has turned his back on the country and surrendered to the enemy, interesting, it's really a bit interesting!"
Xiaomei is right, I have no right to handle this matter.
If you want to deal with Taishi Pang, maybe you can only dispatch the Ten Palaces Yan Jun! ”
The woman in white said lightly: "Then it's not for us to worry about." ”
The man in black nodded: "What the little sister said is reasonable, come on, bring this person, let's go back to the Nine Hidden Valley!" ”
The man in black bowed and stepped forward to grab the figure.
Someone came over to pretend to be Bao Zheng and others, Ling Chuchu hurriedly shouted: "Hey, we are the key people, the prince of Goryeo is still waiting for us to report the case, if you are arrested, 30,000 people in Luzhou City will die." ”
The woman in white raised her head slightly and glanced at Bao Hei Tan.
"After all, he is a person from Qingtian Yaolu, so he has to give some face. Forget it, let them go! However, it is best not to stay close to the Hyakki Bamboo Forest in the future, especially at night. ”
Throwing down a sentence, the team quickly evacuated.
Chu Chu looked at these people, and disappeared in front of him like a gust of wind, and his expression was still a little trance.
"Actually, really just left? Bao Black Carbon, how can your Qingtian Medicine House have such a big face? ”
Bao Zheng was also a little puzzled: "I don't know about it, I think I'm going to go home and ask my mother." That's right, Gongsun Ce! ”
Chu Chu glanced at him: "Do you still know that there is a person, when you think of him, Gongsun Ce's body is cold, why don't you come over quickly, help me wake him up, we have to rush back to Luzhou City as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, yes! I want to return to my father, Lord Yin, as soon as possible. ”
As soon as the words fell, the heavy rain poured overhead, and the bean-sized raindrops smashed down on their heads and faces, and the three of them were instantly soaked.
Maybe it was because of the cold, Gongsun Ce woke up.
Bao Zheng was overjoyed and condoled, seeing that Gongsun Ce was fine, and was about to return to Luzhou City, but found that the heavy rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was almost impossible to move an inch.
Several people had no choice but to go back to the thatched hut next to them that had been lit to take shelter from the rain.
Fortunately, the rain poured down, and the flames were quickly extinguished.
Bao Zheng inadvertently looked back and was taken aback.
"So the assassins are dead here!"
——
"This play is slightly flawed, but the information I want to get out has already been passed out, and there is nothing to regret."
Qi Shan sat at the dining table and ate breakfast, absentmindedly looking at the report in the retina.
In fact, Qi Shan's purpose is very simple, that is, he wants to add a few traces of martial arts to this calm plot plane.
The dignified Song Dynasty, no beggars, no martial arts alliance leader, no martial arts conference, isn't it too light?
Since he has cracked the mystery of charm, he naturally wants to play a little more.
Research in the laboratory is still ongoing, and they are now trying to mix properties into the underlying internal forces.
For example, ice, fire, or poison.
If the experiment is really successful, this weak martial arts plane will instantly rise to the level of real martial arts.
The junior next to him was waiting diligently, running errands from time to time.
Qi Shan glanced at him and said, "I usually don't see anyone when I eat, but today I came here again to offer hospitality, what do you want to do!" ”
Xiao San'er sneered and said, "Young Master, look at what you said, didn't I follow your instructions and find some little beggars outside and ask around for news?" Don't say it, this method is really effective, someone sent me a message just now, and I really found a small thing, I don't know if you are interested? ”
"What's the matter?"
"Actually, it's nothing, it's trivial money. One family couldn't repay the borrowed money, and the creditor wanted to arrest his daughter to pay the debt.
It's not a big deal, it's just that the owner of the village is usually arrogant and domineering, and he is very unpopular.
The last time he wanted to catch his daughter to pay off the debt, he was sabotaged by someone next to him, and the creditor played a trick in desperation.
It is said that as long as someone can instantly say how many teeth he has, the debt will be written off.
The debtor has three chances, and if he guesses wrong, he will not only give his daughter, but also repay the money. ”
"Cut, what kind of bullshit is this!"
Qi Shan rolled his eyes and took a slow bite of the pancake.
Aunt Jia is worthy of being a chef with special procedures, and cooking is delicious.
This pancake is made with white noodles, bud rice noodles, and some bean noodles, mixed according to the proportions, and the mouth is soft and sweet, and it is rolled with special Korean pork belly, plus a little pickles and sauces, and it is full of sweetness when you bite into it.
Qi Shan is also strange, he has no interest in luxury dishes, whether it is Shan Bazhen, Hai Bazhen is a taste in Qi Shan's opinion.
There is nothing unusual, but this pure food is more delicious.
Xiao San'er accompanied Qi Shan to finish eating.
Qi Shan got up: "Let's go, let's go and have a look!" ”
"Young Master, you agreed?"
"You're so obsessed, you must be tired, I have to go and see what you want?"
Qi Shan glanced at him meaningfully, Xiao San'er lowered his head slightly, and his black face was a little red.
It's still tender, and a word is tempted.
Shaking his head, he went out and got into the carriage.
——
In the city of Luzhou, the Eight Sages King came in person.
The civil and military officials of Luzhou went out of the city for ten miles to greet each other, and after they came back, they held a banquet to greet them.
The guilty plea handed over before finally alarmed the emperor.
The emperor was young and summoned the Eight Sages to discuss with Pang Taishi.
In the end, it was concluded that it was to be pacified as soon as possible and not to affect the alliance between the two countries.
So the Eight Sages were sent as a messenger.
When it was time to leave, news came that the crown prince of Goryeo was not dead, but only a stand-in.
At the same time, the gamble between the crown prince of Goryeo and Gongsun Chae was also publicized.
30,000 heads bowed down to Goryeo and were sent to both ends of the scales.
This made the Eight Sages Silent for a while.
Entering Luzhou City today, the Eight Sage Kings were very silent along the way.
The Goryeo mission has also seen it, and they all looked tense, trembling in front of the Goryeo prince, as if walking on thin ice.
In this way, the Eight Sages King had a better understanding of the perverse and violent temperament of the prince of Goryeo.
Just when King Haehyun was about to discuss with the Goryeo mission how to solve the case.
Bao Zheng and the three of them hurried over.
After a hurried salute, the three of them recounted what they had encountered last night from beginning to end.
Of course, a few of them were not stupid, and they didn't tell the information that the main messenger behind the scenes was Pang Taishi.
In fact, they also know that it is useless to talk about it now.
Master Pang Taishi is in a high position, and he and others are just small people, even if they say it, they will only be regarded as slander, and no one will believe it.
Overjoyed, Yin of the Luzhou Governor's Mansion hurriedly beckoned the officials to the western suburbs and asked them to bring back all the assassin corpses.
In just two days, the case was over, and the bet was obviously won by his son.
Since he won, it will inevitably be passed on as a good story, which has laid a solid foundation for Gongsun Ce to become an official in the future.
In the midst of the celebration, the Eight Sages King noticed that the faces of the three of them had been very serious.
His heart moved slightly, and then he made an excuse and took the three of them to the secret room alone.
Subsequently, Bao Zheng took the matter of Pang Taishi, who was the mastermind behind the scenes, and came out of the tray.
followed by the explanation, as well as Wang Renxiao and Wang Renmei, who appeared last night.
The name of Mingyuefang also appeared in the ears of the Eight Sages for the first time.
His face did not move, his mind turned twice, and then he made up his mind to wait and see.
This so-called Mingyuefang dared to blatantly shout for trouble with Master Pang, and it obviously had its own confidence.
If you want to eradicate it, you need to think long-term.
——
On the third day, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty asked to see the prince of Goryeo.
Entering the Lai Yi Pavilion, the guests and hosts on both sides sat down, and then the officials lined up with several corpses of black-clothed people to send them up.
Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng wore new clothes, and stood out with their heads held high and their fists clenched.
Said to the prince who was sitting on it and playing with the dice carelessly: "Your Royal Highness the prince, this is the murderer you want?" ”
The prince of Goryeo said lightly: "Oh? You say yes, how do I know that you didn't kill a few people at random and use them to make up the numbers? ”
"This, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured, we have examined it with the Goryeo Imperial Doctor, and it can be proved that these people are all strong in martial arts.
We also asked the Goryeo soldiers who had resisted the assassination that day, and they could also testify.
And these people are all Liao, which is no different from what we speculated before.
Even Master Cui Shangshu has already admitted that these assassins are the real murderers. After coming down in many ways, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has any questions? ”
Gongsun Ce was righteous and had a solemn face.
The crown prince of Goryeo slowly sat up straight, the corners of his mouth twitching. "Then explain to me what is the wound in the throat of these people?"
"This ......"
Gongsun Ce hesitated, and Bao Zheng answered: "The wound on their necks was cut open by a sword master. Truth be told, this person is most likely the leader of the other party! ”
"What about this man?"
"Taken away by another group. But I can guarantee that he is dead, these people are ruthless, and after being captured, they will be tortured in every possible way, and they will not let him die too easily. Gongsun Ce hurriedly said.
"What does this have to do with me? I want a murderer! ”
Prince Gaoli's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly smiled: "In this way, you lost the gamble if you can't hand over the murderer!" Then don't blame Prince Ben for being ruthless and fulfilling the gambling contract! Aoi ......"
"Slow!"
The Eight Sages King suddenly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has indeed won, and the 30,000 heads in Luzhou City are at your disposal, but there is one thing, I want to remind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first." ”
"Oh? What do the Eight Wise Kings have to say? ”
King Baxian picked up the teacup, took a sip and put it on the table, and said calmly: "I heard that General Park was castrated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his ineffective work?" ”
"I'm willing to gamble and lose."
"That's true, but not everyone will be like His Royal Highness the Prince, General Park has a lot of ideas, just two hours ago, the thousand-person escort outside the city has been taken back to Goryeo by General Park, I heard that it has been given to the King of Goryeo, and you will be abolished as the crown prince."
The crown prince of Goryeo's eyes widened, and suddenly applauded and laughed: "It's interesting, it's so interesting, this reckless fool has the audacity to do such a thing, it's good, it's really good!" ”
Everyone looked at the prince of Goryeo like a madman.
After a long while, the prince of Goryeo quieted down, sat back in his chair again, and said lazily: "I know what the Eight Sages King means, since the army has returned, I can't afford to reap the bet, and the gambling game naturally can't go on."
In this way, the two sides can be regarded as a draw.
After making up for so many years, it's either a loss or a win, but I didn't expect the first time to fight and be in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, interesting, really interesting. ”
The Eight Sages King sighed: "Great harmony! Don't lose, don't win, don't hurt peace! ”
"Well, this matter will not be pursued by the crown prince anymore! But I don't bother to pay attention to the matter of sending relatives, Cui Shangshu, the county lord will leave it to you! ”
Cui Shangshu hurriedly stood up, bowed his head and said, "Weichen swears to protect the county lord to the death." ”
"Hmm!"
The prince of Goryeo replied lightly, and then said, "Xiaokui, how many people are there around us?" ”
"Your Highness, there are only 500 secret guards."
The Great Song side was secretly surprised that there were still 500 guards.
No wonder the Goryeo prince was dismissive of the alleged assassination.
The crown prince of Goryeo raised his hand and snorted softly: "Pass my order and return home!" Raise the banner and say that General Park is rebellious, and tell the cities along the way to take his head! ”
Xiao Kui bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness!" ”
Is this going to be fought back?
Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts were shocked.
