The tip of the knife was no more than an inch away from Ruan Yu's throat, as if it was going to penetrate Ruan Yu's throat in the next moment.
Ruan Yu's throat rolled, stunned, and then the back was drenched in cold sweat.
He looked forward to Ai Ai and said, "You...... What are you doing? ”
The people in the pavilion were all surprised, Zhu Di squinted, but he was still calm, although the prince Zhu Gaochi had a trace of doubt in his eyes, he still treated it indifferently, looking like an old monk sitting still, as if the sky was falling in front of him, and it didn't matter to him.
As for the others, there is no such calmness, Ruan Yu is the envoy of the Zhancheng State, no matter what the strength of the Zhancheng State is, it is the Fanbang of the Ming Dynasty, the Fanbang envoy arrived in Nanjing, it is the distinguished guest of the Ming Dynasty, Hao Fenglou did this, it is obviously excessive, if this matter is investigated, it is definitely not trivial, just insulting the envoy is enough to make this Jinyi Wei Qianhu shattered.
Hao Fenglou's hand didn't move, and the knife didn't move either.
The tip of the knife stopped steadily in mid-air, facing Ruan Yu.
He said word by word: "Lord Ruan, it's time to confess your guilt and obey the law, do you still want to deny it now?" ”
Ruan Yu gradually calmed down, he stared at Hao Fenglou and said, "What do you deny?" I don't understand a word of what you're saying. ”
Hao Fenglou said sharply: "You are the one who poisoned and murdered the prince!" ”
Ruan Yu smiled, if it was said that at the beginning, his appearance was quite cautious, but now he is surprisingly calm, his deep eyes seem to pass a glimmer of light, he looks at Hao Fenglou with a smile, and says word by word: "I am the envoy of the city of Zhancheng, and I have the same enemy as the prince, why do you want to poison him?" You are so bloody, so ignorant of etiquette, is this the hospitality of your Heavenly Empire? Although the city is small, there are no more than 10,000 soldiers. The territory is only a thousand miles, but as an envoy of the country, I am by no means deceivable by everyone, if the lord wants to frame me, even if he gives me a good pleasure, I would rather die than bear such a charge. ”
His words are polite and courteous, and he hides needles in the cotton, and he is powerful.
If Hao Fenglou doesn't give an explanation, I'm afraid that it will not be Ruan Yu who is splashing blood in Chongwen Pavilion today. It's Hao Fenglou.
Hao Fenglou was unmoved, he said lightly: "From the beginning, I was suspicious of you, do you know why?" ”
Ruan Yu pursed her lips and was silent.
Hao Fenglou continued: "Because there is one thing that is very strange. A few days ago, I had visited the Prince. His Royal Highness the Prince said that he had a number of correspondence with Minister Annan. I don't need to explain these letters. Prince Chen is orthodox after all. There were many people in Annam who did not submit to the rule of the Hu clan. It is only because of Hu's great power that he had no choice but to submit to them, and these letters are of great relevance, and the reason why Prince Chen spoke to me was only to prove that he could stand firm as soon as he arrived in Annam. And I hope to be able to send military horses to escort him back home. ”
Hao Fenglou said slowly: "I should not be the only one who has heard of these things, as for the importance of the letter, it is naturally self-evident, this is the trump card in the hands of Prince Chen." But what if these letters fell into the hands of the traitors of Annam, the Hu clan? ”
"If it falls into the hands of the Hu family, the Hu family can rely on these letters to eradicate those 'traitors' who collude with Prince Chen, so these letters are very important to Prince Chen, and they are also valuable to the current Annan Hu family."
When Hao Fenglou talked about these letters, many people fell into deep thought.
Obviously, this Prince Chen has been lobbying, and in order to prove his worth, Hao Fenglou did not listen to the letter alone.
Hao Fenglou continued: "After that, Prince Chen mentioned it again, saying that it was a thief in Honglu Temple, and someone sneaked into his bedroom and turned over a lot of things. At that time, I felt that this theft was not very simple, and the thieves would never come only for money, because Prince Chen said that although the house was turned over, nothing was stolen, which means that the thieves had only one target, that is, those letters, but unfortunately, they did not find the letters, and returned in vain. ”
Hao Fenglou sighed and said, "Since their goal is letters, then who has to get these letters?" For example, I am a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and these letters may be very important to Prince Chen, but for me, they are just a bunch of waste paper, and I think all of you here are like me. Naturally, there is only one person who urgently needs to get these letters, that is, the Hu family of Annam, when Prince Chen revealed the news, the Hu family's secret agents in Nanjing and the fine work decided to get these letters after getting the news, but the location of the theft is the Honglu Temple, you must know that the Honglu Temple is heavily guarded, if outsiders want to sneak in here, and find Prince Chen's bedroom to steal, after rummaging through the whole body to get out, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky. ”
"Therefore, the thieves must be in the Honglu Temple, they not only know Prince Chen, but also have a special identity, so that they can walk around the Honglu Temple at will." Hao Fenglou stared at Ruan Yu and said meaningfully: "In other words, in fact, in the Honglu Temple, there is a hidden Annan's fine work. ”
Ruan Yu's face was like a flood of autumn water, and he said: "My lord drew inferences from one another, but it was quite a success. ”
Hao Fenglou smiled: "Since there are fine works mixed into Honglu Temple to steal letters, then I suspect that the people who poisoned the wine banquet in the East Palace this time are these Annan's fine works, in this way, things will be easy to do, among the people present today, from Honglu Temple are only Ning Wang Shizi and Ruan Da, Ning Wang Shizi is just a wine bag and rice bag, even if he has any plans, it is absolutely impossible to prepare in advance, prepare poison to poison here." After stringing together all kinds of clues, I have a story here, I don't know if you want to listen to it. ”
Ruan Yu's eyes had already flashed a trace of horror, but he still forced himself to calm down, and still looked at Hao Fenglou with a smile.
Everyone was already stunned, even Zhu Di seemed to be caught in this kind of mystery at this moment, and he couldn't extricate himself for a while.
Hao Fenglou said: "The beginning of the story is in Annan, the Hu clan in Annan is reckless, forcibly requisitioning and occupying the city, and the country of Zhancheng resists desperately, but in the end, in the face of Annan's strong forces, the country is finally ruined. At this time, suddenly there was news from the Ming Dynasty that the clan of Annan went to Nanjing, and asked for help from the Ming Dynasty, Hu was greatly frightened, for fear that the Ming Dynasty would send troops to the south, so he ordered someone to forge the national letter of Zhancheng, and stamped the golden seal of Zhancheng, and sent his henchmen to pretend to be the envoy of Zhancheng, and rushed to this Nanjing in the name of asking for help. ”
This time, Ruan Yu's smile completely froze.
Hao Fenglou sneered: "This person's purpose is actually to approach the sympathetic Prince Chen as the envoy of the city of Zhancheng, and wait for the opportunity to assassinate, as long as Prince Chen is dead, the bloodline of the Chen clan will be completely cut off, not only can appease the hearts of Annan's people, but at the same time, even if the Ming Dynasty wants to avenge the Chen family, but there is no excuse for the Chen family to restore the country, and then the Annan people will definitely resist the 'invasion' of the Ming Dynasty desperately." However, when this fine work arrived in Nanjing in the name of the Champa envoy, he did not rush to do it, because he heard rumors that Prince Chen had many letters from the ministers of Annan, and if he could get these letters, he could find out the civil and military generals at both ends of the snakes and rats in the kingdom of Annan, so the envoy of the Champa state changed his mind, and he began to use all kinds of means to try his best to get these letters. However, when I went to visit Prince Chen, the envoy of Annam immediately became alert, because my identity was Jinyi Wei Qianhu, this envoy mistakenly thought that his affairs had aroused the suspicion of the imperial court, so when I was talking and laughing with Prince Chen, the envoy also came to visit, he naturally wanted to find out the details of me, and in the middle of the conversation, Prince Chen mentioned the theft, and the envoy was even more uneasy, so after that visit, he ignored the letter and decided to kill Prince Chen immediately. ”
"If Prince Chen dies in Honglu Temple, it is too easy to make people suspicious, and the envoy waits for the opportunity to move, and the opportunity comes. The prince's banquet will be attended by the king of Han, Prince Chen and all the ministers, which is a godsend for the envoy, because there must be a mixture of dragons and snakes in the banquet, and doing it at this time will definitely not arouse the suspicion of others, so he prepared poison in advance and put the poison into Prince Chen's wine when people were not paying attention......
Hao Fenglou's story is really twists and turns, that is, when the story is heard, it feels too complicated.
However, the story is quite plausible, and it is like a thread that connects everything that has happened recently.
Zhu Di is still silent, as the Son of Heaven, of course it is very inappropriate to speak now, let the people below make trouble, if this envoy of the city is really the work of the Hu family, then it just so happens that this matter can be revealed; But if Hao Fenglou wronged others, then it doesn't matter, Hao Fenglou, the guy with a black face, took it out and thought about it, and the big tomorrow is still considerate.
Hao Fenglou smiled faintly, and looked at Ruan Yu motionlessly: "Lord Ruan, in this story, you are the protagonist, although my story is a guess, but in order to prove that you are the murderer of the poison, so it was deliberately revealed that the person who poisoned was the prince of Ning, at that time I asked you, what did the prince of Ning say to you when he left the seat, you deliberately said that you don't know, but once the prince of Ning Wang' When the evidence is conclusive, in order to add fuel to the fire, let King Ning Shizi be your scapegoat, so you suddenly remembered what Shizi said to you, and deliberately claimed that Shizi put the wine glass on the table, which is obviously a hint to everyone, Shizi swapped his wine glass with Prince Chen, and when you were so eager to splash this dirty water on Ning Wang Shizi, did you ever think that this was someone Hao deliberately luring the snake out of the hole? ”
