Chapter 20: Li Zhao and Mu Tai colluded, and Jiang Jing was slaughtered
In the morning, Li Zhao moved to the Imperial History Mansion, and Jiang Jing also moved to the Shangshu Hou Mansion. At this time, there was also movement on the other side.
"Report to King Xu, Li Zhao and Jiang Jing have replaced the original Shang Shuhou and Yu Shi Dafu, what should we do next. The thief saint-Mu Tai knelt down and said to King Xu. "I don't believe anyone who can't get along with money when they buy money. Xu Wang said. "It's the subordinates who obey the order, and the subordinates retire first" Mu Tai left King Xu's mansion after speaking.
One day later, after the morning court, Mu Tai privately sent someone to transport two boxes of jewelry to Li Zhao's Imperial History Mansion, Li Zhao saw Mu Tai, did not know that his real name was Mu Tai, because when King Xu introduced Mu Tai to the emperor, he told the emperor that his name was Wang Mingtai, so Li Zhao saw Mu Tai and greeted: "Lord Wang does not know when you came to your mansion, you are not welcome." Mu Tai replied with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, there is indeed something I want to ask Master Li for help today." Li Zhao replied, "My lord, please come in, go in and talk." Then the two entered the Imperial Mansion, and the two sat on the Imperial Mansion, and the housekeeper of the Imperial Mansion saw the two of them sitting down and went out.
Although the door is closed, the morning sun is like what people now call "ultrasound", as the door gap penetrates, at this time Mu Tai said: "I have long heard that Lord ......" At the end of the words, Li Zhao said: "Lord Wang, don't go around in circles, just say anything directly, there is no one else." Mu Tai said: "I like to talk to people like adults, in fact, we adults want you to stand with him, do things for him, and reward you indispensably." Li Zhao said with a little embarrassed face: "Is this good?" As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Tai's knife was put on Li Zhao's neck, and Li Zhao said with a smile at this time: "I'm afraid that the adults have misunderstood, I accepted these two boxes of jewelry." Mu Tai put down the knife, turned around and left, and Li Zhao's voice was faintly heard behind him: "Adults go slowly, come to the house to sit when you have time." Mu Tai looked at the sky, and at this time, just after noon, he was sent to send jewelry to the door of Jiang Jingfu.
After a while, Mu Tai walked to the door of Jiang Jing's mansion, Jiang Jing opened the door to greet him, and Mu Tai said: "I learned that Lord Jiang became a scholar and came to congratulate him." Jiang Jing replied: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, there is something to talk about." The two walked into the hall of the Shangshu Mansion, and the housekeeper of the Shangshu Mansion was the same as the housekeeper of the Yushi Mansion, and when they saw the two adults sitting down, they went out. At this time, the sun shining in the house just after noon was obviously not as strong as in the Imperial History Mansion.
Jiang Jing said: "What is the matter with my lordship?" Mu Tai still replied: "I have long heard that the adults ......" Before the words were finished, Jiang Jing said: "Ming people don't say dark words, and hypocritical words are not spoken." Mu Tai smiled: "Okay, then I won't talk nonsense, our family hopes that you can join forces to deal with the emperor, listen to my lord's words, and you will be rewarded afterwards." Jiang Jing: "Collecting money from people and eliminating disasters for others, adults are really good calculations." Mu Tai said, "Why don't you want to." Jiang Jing replied: "My lord asked me to be a dog, I really don't want to be a little unwilling, my lord, please go back, take the jewelry away, don't dirty my place." After speaking, he got up and prepared to open the door, but before the door opened, Jiang Jing's head fell to the ground.
Mu Tai said: "False lifting", opened the door, and within an hour of the house, none of the old and young in the house escaped his "clutches".
The next morning, "Report to the emperor that Shangshu Mansion has been slaughtered." There was a little guard kneeling, and suddenly Emperor Long Yan was furious and said, "Someone is coming." "Two people from Dali Temple came to the emperor and waited for the emperor to fall. The Emperor spoke, "I order you to investigate this matter to me. The two replied "yes" and walked out of the palace, and Mu Tai, who was standing next to the emperor, was not nervous. Because of what he did, generally no one checks the mountain.
"Traitorous ministers are in charge, and the country is mourned"
