Chapter 105: Trapped Beasts Fight
"General, my subordinates feel that the death of the second lady of King Yi's mansion seems to be quite strange. The housekeeper lowered his voice slightly, he was fifty years old, he was not only the butler of the General's Mansion, but also Shen Tucang's most powerful subordinate in the Imperial City, since the news of Xu Junxiao's death came out of the Yi Palace, out of caution and previous habits, he would always send someone to keep an eye on the Yi Palace's Mansion for a period of time, but found that Xu Junxiao's death did not seem to be so simple.
"Where do you say that?" Shen Tu Cang's eyes narrowed when he had seen countless blood.
"Prince Yi ordered to investigate the cause of the fire in the house, Princess Yi invited a wizard, which was originally normal, but the subordinates found that after the wizard left, he was secretly followed by Prince Yi's people, and then walked into a forest outside the city, we didn't dare to follow up, and when Prince Yi's people came out of the forest, we went into the forest to investigate, but found that the wizard had been killed. As soon as the manager finished speaking, Shen Tucang's narrowed eyes suddenly opened, revealing a fierce light.
"It's really not normal to invite a wizard yourself, but then send someone to kill the wizard yourself. Words like ice cubes came out of Shen Tucang's mouth, he knew that Xu Yi was not an idle person, if he wanted to play tricks, then he would accompany him.
And soon Prince Yi entered the palace to ask for the marriage to be held as scheduled, but the burial of the county lord could be postponed, it can be seen that Prince Yi is very anxious for this marriage, and he can't wait to marry his daughter into the general's mansion as soon as possible, I don't know what tricks to play. The housekeeper frowned and was a little worried, although his own general was brave and good at fighting, but in terms of the conspiracy and secret fight of officialdom, he may not be the opponent of Xu Yi, who has been in the government and the opposition for many years, but fortunately he has him.
"Didn't the emperor ask for a three-month delay in the marriage? Shen Tucang evoked a touch of ridicule, no matter how eager Xu Yi wanted to act, he couldn't resist the holy will, although he didn't know what the emperor's move meant, but it was obviously beneficial to himself.
"As for what he wants to do? Shen Tucang opened his mouth and ordered.
"The general can rest assured that his subordinates have been sending people to investigate. The housekeeper lowered his eyebrows and replied respectfully, Xu Yi's trick was afraid that it would not be long to hide.
The palace of King Yi at the other end of the imperial city.
Before Xu Yi could take any action on Shen Tucang's return to Beijing, a piece of news reached the palace.
"Lord Wang! It seems that we are not the only ones who know that the general designed to kill the county lord. As soon as he got the news, he hurried to the official department of King Yi's mansion, panting and panicking.
"What do you mean?" Xu Yi suddenly stood up, his face solemn.
"That's it...... I entered the palace today, and overheard what the two eunuchs in the palace said, but I have told them to shut up forever, but this matter is not trivial, if it reaches the ears of those who have a heart, and a few more strokes are added to pass it to Your Majesty, it will be terrible. Shang Shu finished speaking in one breath, stroked his chest and smoothed his breath, and continued to speak, "Lord Wang, what can I do now?"
Xu Yi wrinkled his brows, and also felt that something was wrong, if this matter was known to the two little eunuchs in the palace, then I don't know how many people knew about it, knowing that it was Shen Tucang who sent someone to kill Xu Junxiao, if this matter was used by the opponent who fought with his party, and then spread to His Majesty's ears, the matter would be in big trouble.
In this way, Shen Tucang is his female killer, and he clearly knows the facts, but he concealed this important matter, but he was eager to ask the emperor to marry Shen Tucang, the hatred of killing his son is not shared, if it is not for some great interests, how can the two put down such hatred to marry?
And the most direct consequence of his marriage between Xu Yi and Shen Tucang was that he had enough power to usurp the throne and rebel.
"Quick! Use all the power in the palace to never let this matter spread again. The more he thought about it, the more he realized the seriousness of the matter, and Xu Yi hurriedly ordered.
"Yes. But Lord Wang, this incident shows even more that among the people involved in our plan, there are traitors! If we don't eradicate it in time, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles!" Lord Shangshu looked embarrassed, he investigated everyone thoroughly, but no one was really suspicious.
"Check it for me, I'd rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go!" Xu Yi, who was a little crazy at the beginning, had red eyes and glared angrily at the official book in front of him, "Keep checking!"
"Yes, yes, then the subordinate will retire. "Lord Shangshu saw that the situation was not good, and if he stayed any longer, he was afraid that his life would not be guaranteed, so he hurriedly retired.
As soon as the official Shangshu left, one of his subordinates in the palace ran in in a panic: "Lord!
"Say!" the annoyed Xu Yi said viciously.
"Mrs. May...... Mrs. May she ...... She hanged herself!"
Mrs. Mei is Xu Junxiao's biological mother, she is not favored in the house, and she is often bullied by the princess because of her weak personality, Xu Junxiao is all her hope, but as soon as Xu Junxiao died, Mrs. Mei, who washed her face with tears day and night, finally chose to go with her daughter.
"If you die, you will be buried. Xu Yi shouted impatiently, "Don't bother me with these little things." ”
For him, Mrs. Mei is just a concubine who was married back at the beginning, she has no background and power, and she has no feelings, she still coveted Mrs. Mei's beauty when she was young, but now her red face is old, and she has almost no weight in Xu Yi's heart.
"Yes. A trace of pity flashed in the eyes of the subordinates, and then slowly retreated, the hard-working mother and daughter, maybe the meeting under the Yellow Spring could be regarded as a success.
Xu Yi's forces all over the palace range from the emperor's pillow to the most inconspicuous miscellaneous maid, it is not difficult to completely stifle the spread of a piece of news, and after ordering, the entire palace will hardly hear any news about this matter, or even talk about it.
However, the initiator of the spread of the news was sitting quietly on the big bed in the emperor's bedroom.
Gong Yuyan rolled up the paper in his hand, knocked on the dragon bed a few times gently and rhythmically, and a woman who looked like a palace maid walked in with a basin of water outside the door, quietly took the paper in Gong Yuyan's hand, and then walked out casually.
The palace maid was walking in the long corridor with a basin of water, and accidentally bumped into a eunuch father-in-law, who was on the way to serve his master, and accidentally intervened with a team of palace guards patrol, and the patrol team and the palace gate were handed over and changed...... Soon, a piece of paper quickly spread outside the palace at an incredible speed.
In the dead of night, in the General's Mansion, an arrow burst into Shen Tu Cang's room from the window, and was nailed straight to the wooden table.
"Xu Yi wants to blame you for Xu Junxiao's death. ”
There was only a short line of words on the paper, but it made Shen Tucang's somewhat scarred face distort, who was the person who sent this note? Why did he know about it? Why did he tell him about it? What is the purpose?
With a "bang", Shen Tucang pushed open the door of the room and commanded in a rough voice: "Tell the housekeeper to go to the study immediately." ”
After speaking, he first went to the direction of the study, the night was blue, and he was destined to be unable to sleep all night.
