210 · Crowning Ceremony (Middle)
Zhong Yan Pang Zheng's cheeks froze, if it weren't for Zong Zhengqing's reminder, he wouldn't have realized this matter at all.
A conversation from a few months ago came to mind, and it was an ordinary conversation. Princess Tilting Lotus occasionally met with the little emperor in private, most of the time the little emperor would be placed under house arrest by the Praetorian Guards, and the little emperor who had read poetry and books since he was a child understood that he had been treated unfairly, so he would lose his temper every once in a while, and the princess would appear at the right time to lecture him well, so that he would completely surrender to his sister's domination.
It was a sunny morning, the little emperor had an unclean relationship with a lowly but beautiful woman in the harem, and the princess ordered the death of the palace maid when she heard the news, and the little emperor lost his temper and even wanted to encourage the Praetorian Guard to assassinate the princess - although he had no real power, but the accumulation of texts over the years allowed him to speak wittily and quite imposingly - many forbidden soldiers who were dissatisfied with the rule of women really listened to the little emperor's bewitchment, and couldn't help but say that they would enter the princess's palace before the morning dew died.
There is no doubt that they eventually died under the arrows of Tai Hongdo and the sword of the maid.
The princess immediately found the little emperor, and Zhong Yan, Pang Zheng, and the maid were also present. Zhong Yan Pang Zheng happened to tell the princess at some time, so he was accidentally involved in this family matter. He listened quietly to the princess scolding the little emperor, which was a rare sign of anger for the princess.
Of course she would be angry that her brother was trying to kill her, and no one wanted that to happen to her.
The princess has always done it with a red face and a white face, and after the number fell, she proposed to allow the little emperor to travel.
The crowning ceremony was changed to the moon platform, and it was at that time that the little emperor himself proposed it.
It's just an unexpected change.
"Zhong Yan Pang Zheng?" Seeing that he was distracted, Bian Liang Tu knocked on the side and asked, "Why did the crown ceremony change to the platform? What do you seem to know?" ”
Zhong Yan Pang Zheng turned his big and bulky head, and his neck seemed to be shortened.
"Zong Zhengqing ......" He has already revealed flaws that cannot be recovered, "This matter is indeed very strange. "The hands of the little man who had nowhere to put were constantly rubbing against his knees.
Again the sudden, he hates "suddenly", everything should be done in an orderly manner. I came to inquire about the progress of the investigation of the flat beam diagram, and I have already received very useful information. It should be accepted when it is good, he turned his face away in annoyance, and immediately looked at the flat beam diagram.
"I've heard—" The flat beam diagram was equally hesitant.
The deformed man in front of him is Zhong Yan Pang Zheng, a member of Gong Lian's team and one of the princess's henchmen. Can he ask the next question? He and the princess are in a state of mutual checks and balances, and the situation is constantly tilting in her direction, there is no turning back, and there must be no deviation. He knows Zhong Yan Pang Zheng's character, just as Zhong Yan Pang Zheng knows that the Golden Rose Bloody Case has his share of credit.
Flat beam diagram quickly calmed down emotions. He has always been better at handling emergencies than Zhong Yan Pang Zheng.
"I've heard. ”
He repeated the beginning again, staring into Zhong Yan's eyes.
He needs to see "suspicion". Even if Zhong Yan Pang Zheng had a little doubt about the princess, he was confident that he would let this short man turn against him.
"——The person who changed the position of the crown ceremony was Princess Tilting Lotus. ”
"Who said that?" Zhong Yan Pang Zheng still wanted to find room for manoeuvre.
"Your expression already tells me the answer. ”
"Are you alluding to the fact that the princess is the real murderer of the little emperor?" he stood up and slapped the wooden table hard, "Why did the princess do such a thing? Zong Zhengqing, you are a smart person, and you are also a clear-eyed person who supported the princess to the throne in the first place, you should know how important the little emperor is to the princess, and His Majesty needs the little emperor to consolidate her ruling bloodline—I said it clearly enough? The princess could never be the real murderer of the little emperor!" Besides, the assassination of the little emperor has caused His Majesty's dragon body to be haggard, and His Majesty didn't expect this to happen at all, so he asked you to investigate the murderer. Let you look it up, understand?"
Zhong Yan Pang Zheng hurriedly said these taboo words. He was out of his mouth.
Everyone is a smart person, so why hide it anymore? He looked at the flat beam diagram and waited for the other party to reply.
Bian Liangtu shook his head: "I never said that the princess was the real murderer, you are too impatient." ”
Zhong Yan Pang Zhengtong sat down with a red face, and the fluttering cuffs were filled with warm air by the fireside. He gasped eagerly, and his overloaded brain fell into a state of shutdown for a while.
Bian Liangtu really didn't bluntly express his suspicions about the princess, but what is the difference between what he just said and what he said bluntly?
Bianliangtu saw the dawn of victory, but he couldn't rush it. He can make a member of the Gonglian team betray the princess, so that more people can throw themselves into him, and the power of the Gonglian team and the princess will be eaten away little by little, a little bit of disintegration, this Zhong Yan Pang Zheng in front of him is an extremely loyal guy, and the supreme wisdom he has not only caused trouble to Bian Liangtu, but also his own calamity, he is too smart, he will definitely doubt the princess, and now he has to do it just to wait for the opportunity, and release the long-accumulated suspicion in an instant.
"We'll talk about these sensitive topics later. Flat beam figure smiled.
Although Zhong Yan Pang Zheng's sudden visit caught him off guard, the situation was already under control.
"The clues I found from Zhang Kezhao were really limited, so I turned to look for martial arts masters, and wanted to know who had the ability to assassinate the Son of Heaven in a grand manner. He changed his relaxed tone, "At the beginning, there were three Rongxia guests on the platform, the leader of this martial arts conference and two members of the Gonglian team, I asked all the martial arts masters present, and they didn't feel what kind of mental method it was, don't you think this is suspicious?"
Zhong Yan Pang Zheng regained his consciousness slightly, stiffened his neck and nodded.
"Those of you who study martial arts should know better than me that in addition to the 'Beneficial Qi', there is also a strange technique called 'Mysterious Power' on the rivers and lakes. Bian Liangtu narrowed his eyes. Zhong Yan Pang Zheng, including you, also has mystical powers, I heard it from the traitors of the Gonglian team, don't want to lie.
————
"The power of the mysterious...... I've heard it too. ”
"The power of the mystical and the qi of Hui Ze are mutually exclusive, and although a martial artist can possess both powers, he needs to pay a certain price for this—this is what I have heard from the disciples of Di Zen Buddhism. Bian Liangtu said, "The mysterious power is different from the Ze Qi, and there is no obvious externalization phenomenon, the Ze Qi can make people emit different colors of mist, but the mysterious power cannot be perceived, I think, if this legendary power really exists, then the person who assassinated the little emperor must have some kind of mysterious power." ”
Bian Liangtu stood up and pulled out a bamboo slip dossier from the densely packed drawer behind him. At the moment when pen, ink, paper and inkstone have been popularized, the appearance of bamboo slips has given this place an antique charm.
"In the dusty Jinyiwei file many years ago, I turned to a volume of the file," he spread out the file in front of Zhong Yan Pang Zheng, "it was written by a Jinyiwei named Bai Yao. ”
Zhong Yan Pang Zheng had never heard of this name. He took a quick look.
There are all sorts of stuff written on it, like a madman talking nonsense, saying which chicken was stolen, gossiping about the old lady's fingers, and helping people find the whereabouts of their son...... It is incompatible with the work of Jin Yiwei.
He was confused, thinking that Bian Liang Tu was making fun of him.
"Where did this come from? What did the Jinyi Guards do more than ten years ago?"
"This is all a cover-up, I rummaged through all the files, and found that this Bai Yao was the famous Jinyi Wei back then, but she only left this inexplicable file, which was very suspicious. ”
"Hmm...... It's suspicious, but what does that have to do with what we're talking about?"
"Look closely. ”
Zhong Yan Pang Zheng looked at the fingers of the flat beam picture.
It's hard to imagine that these two people who focused on the case had just experienced a life-and-death struggle.
The fingers of the flat beam diagram draw a diagonal line.
"Secret, Teaching, Killing, Hand, Bodhisattva, Ti, Zhai ......"
