Chapter 168: Boss, Boss, Can't You Be Honest as a Man?
"Uh," Shi Jiong didn't expect Dong Qianmo to be so happy, stroked his palms and laughed, "Come one by one, speak slowly, be detailed and rich, and it would be better to be reasonable." ”
Dong Qianmo said embarrassedly: "What is their identity, and what is my identity, I want to have complete evidence, and I will be the first to return to the Queen Mother." ”
Shi Jiong nodded: "It makes sense, those cunning women will not leave a handle when doing things." Especially that Liu Guifei, although she is Lao Tzu's cousin, Lao Tzu doesn't like her at all. What a secret did you hear about her, Dong Xiaomei? ”
"That's the case," Dong Qianmo frowned slightly, and his eyes showed a look of reminiscence, "Yesterday evening, a palace maid named Zhao Si claimed to have been instructed by my patriarchal sister Wan Guiren to take me to meet her. I asked, is the second sister going with me? The second sister misses the eldest sister very much. Zhao Si said that the second sister had already gone first. Somehow, I was knocked unconscious from behind and woke up to find myself in a damp woodhouse with ropes tied to my hands. ”
"You kidnapped someone in the palace?" Shi Jiong opened his eyes in surprise.
Li Zhouyu's reaction was to step forward and grab Dong Qianmo's wrist, lift the water sleeve to see, and confirm the truth of her words - after inspection, Dong Qianmo's hands had hemp rope-like strangulation marks, and some places were worn out, slightly red and swollen.
Li Zhouyu took out the white medicine from the medicine box, handed it to Dong Qianmo, and said in a softer tone than before, "This strangulation mark is not even corroborative, because it is possible that you tied your wrists and grinded such scars." Okay, you go ahead. ”
After a pause, he brought a basin of water from the corner of the wall and put it in Dong Qianmo's hand for her to clean her wounds.
Shi Jiong's slanted eyes were full of two big words, despised, despised!
Boss, boss, as a man, can't you be honest? We're all men, and I won't laugh at you if you occasionally show a little affection for a woman.
If the younger brother's memory is okay, you interrogate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and those assassins who attempted assassination, with a smile on your face. Why did the object of questioning become a little girl, and you bluffed a face instead? Mrs. is so unusual!
So, when Dong Qianmo continued to talk while giving medicine to his hands, Shi Jiong didn't look at her anymore, and stared at Li Zhouyu alone, trying to find out what his various behaviors were not natural enough to keep for talking.
"At first, I thought I wouldn't survive, so I wrote a line on the wall. Later, I gradually calmed down, because I knew how to turn the wrist flower, so I untied the rope and walked out of the firewood room in the dark. ”
Dong Qianmo made a gesture to take off the rope sleeve, this is not fake, this is the basic escape technique that Xiaowei will learn at the beginning.
"Dong Xiaomei, you still know how to escape?" Shi Jiong was curious.
"I don't know what the trick is, I came up with it myself." Dong Qianmo said, "Whenever I disobey at home, my mother locked me up or tied me up, and over time I learned to untie the rope and open the lock." ”
"Where are you when you get out of the firewood house?" Li Zhouyu asked.
"I didn't know, I got lost again, and then I walked outside a room, and I saw a few figures on the window paper, so I quietly stood outside for a while, wondering who my kidnapper was, and I was a little worried that the second sister would also suffer the same." Dong Qianmo said, "As soon as I heard it, I was startled at the time, the voices inside were Liu Guifei, Female Officer Yin, and in addition, there were men's voices!" ”
"Men? Impossible! Is it a real man, or a eunuch in the inner court? Shi Jiong was a little unconvinced.
"It was a low, hoarse man's voice." Dong Qianmo said with certainty, "That person claimed to be the messenger of 'King Lin', and brought a message from the prince. At first, I thought I had heard it wrong, I had never heard of King Yu, King Yuzhang and King Huainan, and I had never heard of King Lin. ”
When she mentioned "King Lin", Li Zhouyu and Shi Jiong had already changed color together, and they were the most serious kind!
There is no King Lin in the Western Wei Dynasty, but the new regent of the Northern Qi Dynasty in recent years is Prince Lin!
Concubine Liu Guifei is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, and she is in the deep palace, how could she have a relationship with King Lin's messenger? If Northern Qi really sends an envoy, he will not find a palace concubine to meet secretly, unless he ......
Li Zhouyu and Shi Jiong's faces were solemn.
Dong Qianmo recalled: "The envoy said that the prince was very satisfied with the 'Keqiu' you sent, and the few 'hairy chestnuts' you proposed last time were all approved by the prince. ”
"Keqiu? Mao Li? What do you mean? Shi Jiong was puzzled.
"I don't know," Dong Qianmo said, "Maybe I'm nervous and have auditory hallucinations in my ears." ”
"It's not an auditory hallucination," Li Zhouyu said with a grim face, "the envoy speaks the language of a Northland tribe. ”
"Oh, I see." Dong Qianmo said, "Then they mentioned the Qinglou woman, and also mentioned that His Majesty was sleepy, and I was about to listen closer, when someone came over and pushed the window to look out." I hid under the window to avoid it, and when I looked up, I saw a man dressed as a eunuch, with a beard and stubble on his chin and a prominent Adam's apple. ”
"He's the man who talked to the concubine?" Li Zhouyu asked.
"Probably," Dong Qianmo said hesitantly, "For a moment, I felt that the fake eunuch had already discovered me at all, and he sneered at me, but after he closed the window, he didn't mention to Liu Guifei that someone was eavesdropping outside." ”
"Oh? So weird? Shi Jiong wondered, "Since he is talking about secrets with the concubine at night, why doesn't he kill you?" ”
Dong Qianmo shook his head.
Li Zhouyu thought about it and analyzed: "Concubine Liu Guifei has been in the palace for many years, and at first she was just a noble concubine, and she was not pleased with His Majesty, and then she came to the throne. But she is pampered and rude, and she has an insatiable temperament, perhaps the secret envoy ordered King Lin to get rid of Liu Guifei and replace it with a new contact. After all, the more secrets Liu Guifei knows, the greater the threat to them. ”
So far, Li Zhouyu believed Dong Qianmo's words for eight or nine points.
Besides, Dong Qianmo is not completely made up, the general framework is true, and the time has moved from more than two years ago to the present.
Liu Guifei is doing things for King Lin of Northern Qi, that is, there is a fake eunuch with a long beard, who has been doing chores in Ningxiang Palace all the year round, and has not left the palace until now. It's just that this eunuch is not an envoy of Northern Qi, but has another layer of identity that makes people's jaws drop.
"Alas," Shi Jiong sighed, "My cousin is already comparable to the queen in the palace, and she is still not satisfied, once this kind of thing is exposed, it will be a full end." ”
"Not necessarily," Li Zhouyu shook his head, "If this matter had been revealed two or three years ago, and with sufficient evidence, it might have been possible to bring down the Liu family in one fell swoop." It's as difficult as climbing to the sky now, even if I have a way to say that Your Majesty believes that Liu Youcheng's forces are intertwined, and even Your Majesty can't be cautious, let alone ......"
"What's more?" Shi Jiong asked.
"What's more, Liu Youcheng has won the trust of His Majesty, and he is no longer under me." Li Zhouyu said word by word, "I'll expose this matter, Your Majesty won't say anything on the surface, and when I turn around, I will think about whether my book is selfish." ”
"Of course not!" Shi Jiong said angrily, "Boss, you are the most selfless person!" Others don't know, don't I know! ”
You must know that in order to protect the interests of the guards, their boss even killed the woman he had been secretly thinking about, which is simply outrageously fair!
"However, although I don't want to admit that the reputation of our guards in the court and among the people is not good enough, this is also a fact," Li Zhouyu pointed out, "Liu Youcheng is a well-known Qing official, who handles things fairly and understands the people's feelings, and is well-known." I want to pull him off the horse, unless there is ironclad evidence. ”
At this time, listening to their conversation silently, Dong Qianmo suddenly interjected: "Is it possible that this matter was done by Liu Guifei alone, and it has nothing to do with her family?" ”
Shi Jiong denied it when he heard it: "This kind of big thing, the concubine doesn't dare to make her own opinions." ”
"If you think like this, Your Majesty may not see it." Dong Qianmo said again.
Shi Jiong didn't understand, but Li Zhouyu realized the meaning of Dong Qianmo's words, and couldn't help frowning, Miss Dong Si is just a girl who has not come out of the cabinet, how can she understand all the thoughts of men? What does her little brain think about all day long?
Li Zhouyu stared at Dong Qianmo, except for a girl with an innocent expression, he couldn't see any difference.
"Let me think about this matter again," Li Zhouyu said in a deep voice, "Please tell the fourth lady to describe the secret of Princess Yu that you overheard." ”
"No," Dong Qianmo squinted and smiled, "The princess's cousin didn't talk to me behind my back, but they thought I was a child who couldn't understand the affairs of adults, so they didn't avoid me." However, their words are rather vague, and I cannot repeat them in the original sentence, but can only give me the general meaning of what I understand. ”
"Please."
"Ten years ago, my cousin, His Royal Highness King Yu, would go to Lonely Leaf City in Cloud Mountain several times a year to have a tryst with a man."
Before the first sentence was finished, Li Zhouyu and Shi Jiong's faces became strange at the same time.
Dong Qianmo used an innocent tone and an innocent expression to say the reason why Li Zhouyu and them sounded very shocking-
"My cousin and the man are really in love, but unfortunately the world does not allow it, in order to hide the world's mouth, the cousin married the man's sister. In fact, she was used as a shield, and secretly she was still in close contact with the man. Later, the man's sister couldn't stand such a relationship and let her cousin die. The cousin married the sister of this sister, who is now the princess. ”
Shi Jiong said incredulously: "According to what you said, Yuwen Tan took care of all the three brothers and sisters of the Wei family?" He's too violent! ”
Dong Qianmo said embarrassedly: "My cousin is the hero of our Western Wei Dynasty, he has this hobby, and the Wei family does not object, what can we outsiders say?" ”
Shi Jiong nodded: "It makes sense, it's not right, it doesn't make sense!" ”
Men falling in love with men are also tolerated by the world, and they are awkward to stay in this guard mansion!
"You don't want to interrupt." Li Zhouyu reprimanded, "Fourth Miss, you go on." ”
"The current princess's cousin, of course, is not willing to make wedding dresses for others." Dong Qianmo said with a straight look, "Regarding her cousin's coldness and her own brother's cross-cutting love, she didn't say anything on the surface, but she made up her mind in her heart to try to make her cousin change his mind and no longer associate with other men." ”
The more Shi Jiong listened, the more unpleasant he felt in his heart, he didn't expect that King Yu, who he had regarded as a strong rival for many years, would actually have the good of Longyang!
"Once, my cousin-in-law entered the palace and saw many people in the Queen Mother's palace watching the golden silkworms, and my cousin-in-law was envious." Dong Qianmo continued, "Later, she heard that the golden silkworm is woven by the golden silkworm, and the golden silkworm is a half-female and half-male divine insect, so there is a saying that as long as you wear the golden silkworm, the man will become as charming as the woman, but the woman will become as handsome as the man, in short, it is not distinguishing between male and female." My cousin was tempted and wanted to put on a gorgeous golden silkworm to attract her cousin's attention. ”
