Chapter 262: Extinguishing the Mouth
"Don't understand? You know what is going on with the 10,000 loads of grain and grass! Silver Fire coldly threw a bombshell.
Guo Rui suddenly trembled, and said tremblingly: "Lord Yin, I don't understand what you're talking about!" What 10,000 quintals of grain, I don't know! ”
"I don't understand! I checked carefully, and the grain and grass transferred by the household department were obviously 30,000 quintals, but all our generals received only 10,000 quintals of supplies, and 10,000 quintals were either snatched by the Western Xia army or buried by the wind and snow, but there were still 10,000 quintals of grain missing! Guo Rui! You can give me a reasonable explanation, where did all this food go? Every list has your seal on it, but the grain is nowhere to be found? I traced it in many ways, only to know that this 10,000 quintals of grain was sold separately and cheaply, who has such great ability? In whose hands is the silver!? ”
Guo Rui said hoarsely: "How do I know? Is it because you have my seal that you doubt me, what does the Tobe Shangshu say? ”
Yinhuo smiled coldly, and took a long time, "I naturally checked them one by one, only you have the biggest suspicion, because the person who escorted the grain was your brother-in-law, but he disappeared afterwards, and he didn't know the trace, and besides, you sent five thousand taels of silver to the eldest brother in Taiyuan for no reason, where did you get so much money from a small household official?" ”
Guo Rui's face was pale and uncertain for a long time, and he bit his lip fiercely, "Yes!" I did it, the faint monarch is not worthy of being the emperor, he is not worthy of this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains! ”
Yinhuo frowned deeply, he didn't have the heart to listen to his arrogance, "Say! You can't do such a big thing alone, and you don't have such ability, you say, who is behind you, who is manipulating, and is there anyone else? ”
"Hahaha! You don't have to ask more, I was found by you, and I knew that it was a dead end, if you want to kill, you can kill, don't talk nonsense, I already knew that there would be such a day, but I didn't see the death of the faint king with my own eyes, I was really unwilling! Guo Rui's eyes exuded an extremely vicious light.
Yinhuo was a little surprised, how could he have such a grudge against the emperor? Is it because of Huai Cai? There are more such people, just because this is going to rebel, and I don't know how many people will rebel!
"Dusk? Although the emperor is not a saint, he is also conscientious, and he is definitely not a faint king, have you heard the instigation of others? Yinhuo couldn't help but ask.
"Instigation!? Wudao faint king, **** my wife, killed her alive! Guo Rui suddenly collapsed to the ground, crying silently, Yinhuo was taken aback, how could the emperor do such a thing?
"Nonsense! How could the emperor do such a thing? Are you sure!? ”
Guo Rui said dejectedly: "How can I be unsure? On that day, it was the Bon Festival, a major event in the Imperial Palace, and my wife was also fortunate to be invited to attend, and she also dressed up deliberately...... But I didn't expect such a thing to happen! ”
Yinhuo's mind quickly filtered it, he hadn't returned to the palace at that time, but he didn't know about it, but if such an ugly thing really happened, he would hear about it when he came back, so there was no news at all! ”
"I will never forget that day, after nightfall, she did not come back for a long time, I was anxious, but I had no choice but to wait at the gate, and finally waited for her carriage, and what I was waiting for was a disheveled dress, dull eyes! I knew something was wrong, and I asked many times before she told me that she was **** by the emperor in Wende Palace! I was like five thunderbolts, and I didn't care about her feelings for a while, and she hit a wall in front of me and died! Why should I work for such a faint king! ”
Yinhuo filtered the information very calmly, "I'm afraid you're being used!" What kind of place is the Wende Palace, you haven't been to the palace, probably don't know, it's basically a ruin, how could the emperor appear in that place? During the time of Emperor Injong, a fire broke out in the imperial palace. Originally, on this day, the Wende Hall had just been repaired, but there was a fire that night, the fire was very fierce, all the way to the Chongde Palace, Changchun Palace, Zifu Palace, Huiqing Palace, Chonghui Palace, Tianhe Palace, Chengming Palace, Yanqing Palace, these eight palaces, the palace was basically burned down. At that time, Song Renzong and the Empress Dowager who had gone to bed at that time ran to the imperial garden in a panic to avoid the fire, at this time the historian has a record, afterwards, Emperor Renzong thought that this Wende Hall was unlucky, just repaired and had an accident, so he decided not to overhaul the Wende Hall in the future. Moreover, according to what you said, that day was the Bon Festival, and the emperor must have done his filial piety in the Baoci Palace, how could he appear outside? ”
This Obon is done for filial piety, and there is another reason for this: Shakyamuni Buddha has an important disciple named Mulian, who has a deep practice, known for his supernatural powers, according to legend, Mulian's mother did a lot of bad things, and became a hungry ghost after death, Mulian saw it with supernatural powers, and was very sad, so he used his magic to take the food to his mother to eat, but as soon as the rice reached his mother's mouth, it turned into ashes, and Mulian cried loudly to Shakyamuni Buddha. The Buddha told him that he had to gather the strength of the monks and put them in a basin in the middle of July every year to make offerings to the monks of the ten directions, so that his mother could make such merits. Mulian acted according to the Buddha's will, and his mother was finally liberated.
This kind of ritual first became popular in the merit **** of Mulian saving his mother in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, according to the record of the Buddha's Tongji, Emperor Wu of Liang began to set up an altar to hold the Bon ****. Since then, the emperors and people of the past dynasties have mostly followed the Buddhist system and held Bon festivals to repay the kindness of their parents and ancestors.
Guo Rui was stunned when he was said, and he didn't say anything for a while, Yinhuo said something he had never considered, since the death of his beloved wife, he was thinking about revenge, and the opportunities for revenge came one after another, he just thought that God heard the prayer in his heart, and even God couldn't see the actions of the faint king!
But Silver Fire's words made him see another possibility! An extremely terrifying possibility!
When Yinhuo saw his sluggish appearance, he knew that his heart was loose, and continued: "In my opinion, is it not long after your wife died, someone asked you to do something for him, the common goal is the emperor, and even promised to help you avenge the murder of your wife?" If I'm not mistaken, it's a game from start to finish! Someone took a fancy to the power in your hands, pretending to be the emperor **** your wife, making you resentful of the emperor, and you can't go to the emperor to confront you, and your wife is too strong, so she completely fell into the trap! ”
Guo Rui's lips trembled, "Is that so?" How so? No! It won't be like this! He shook his head desperately, not accepting such a result, he worked hard to plan all this, and in the end, it was not the emperor who killed him?
Yinhuo knew that his psychological defense line had collapsed, and said while the iron was hot: "The emperor would never do such a thing, can your wife have the beauty of the lady of Chu State?" The emperor has never had such a mind, and besides, on the Obon Festival, the emperor will never appear in the Wendeok Palace! ”
Mrs. Chu is known as the first beauty in Kaifeng, and her beauty is beyond the reach of Qianxue!
Guo Rui was silent for a while, his wife was only in the middle and upper echelons, and there was no comparison with Mrs. Chu at all, and he was not without hesitation at the beginning, but the death of his wife made him lose his mind.
"Guo Rui! For your own selfishness, and you still didn't find out the facts, you caused the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty to starve to death and freeze to death in the cold land of Western Xia, don't you feel a little guilty in your heart! Don't you regret it in your heart, that's my people of the Great Song Dynasty! Where have all the sage books you read? Do you still want to be obsessed and go wrong? You only have to tell the people behind the scenes, and then tell the conspiracy you are going on, and you can atone for your sins! ”
Guo Rui is already in pain, is he really being used by others and killing thousands of people of the Great Song Dynasty?
This is not what he wants, he is dedicated to the country, he wants to be a minister of the humerus and benefit the people, in the end, is he just a villain who brings disaster to the country and the people?
"I say! I'll say it all! You're right, I'm wrong! Even if the emperor did it, I can't take the lives of thousands of people of the Great Song Dynasty to pay for it! I was wrong, the person behind the scenes is ......" was about to say the name of the instigator when suddenly a cold arrow shot from the shadows and hit him in the head!
Yinhuo was taken aback, and was about to chase after him, Guo Rui had already fallen down, and said intermittently: "My family...... of the dresser...... List...... They want to...... In the White Horse Temple...... "I haven't finished a word, and I have no breath!"
Yinhuo's eyes darkened, it seemed that his tracking operation had been broken by the other party! Now I have to go to Guo Rui's house to get the list, if it's late, I'm afraid there won't be any!
In the White Horse Temple, King Wu Rong looked at the man in black who came in a hurry, "How are things going?" ”
The man in black knelt down and said respectfully: "Lord Qiqi, everything is done, and there will never be a little rumor leaking!" King Wu Rong nodded with satisfaction, "What news is there from the Wei family?" ”
"Everything is normal in the Wei Family Pharmacy, everything is going on in an orderly manner, but ...... When a subordinate hears a piece of news, he doesn't know whether to say it or not! ”
King Wu Rong's eyes flashed, "What should be said and not said!" Say! ”
"I heard that Wei Ziyan and Chen Qiaoqiao had a conflict and refused to give in to each other, and now Wei Ziyan is suing Chen Qiaoqiao for murder and robbery, and now he is being detained in Kaifeng's prison!"
"What!" King Wu Rong was shocked, shouldn't this Chen Qiaoqiao be in the palace, when did he leave the palace and have a conflict with Wei Ziyan? Still in prison? What a mess this is!
