Chapter 13: Impulsive Punishment
"Nonsense." Cao Jin was unconvinced, "If you can find the murderer within a stick of incense (30 minutes), our family will ......"
"What about you?" Li Beixuanlai was interested.
felt that he could take the opportunity to cut Cao Jin again.
Shen Huaiyi coaxed: "It is rare for the two factory fathers to meet together, so it is better to add some color and make a decisive decision." ”
"Lord Shen's proposal is very good." Li Beixuan said: "I don't think it's as good as this, the emperor, if the minister can't find the murderer within a stick of incense, he will immediately resign from the position of the factory official." But if the minister does it, then the jade wrench in Lord Cao's hand will belong to me. ”
"You are so bold, this is the treasure that the Queen Mother gave to our family." Cao Jin was furious.
This jade wrench is a top-level talisman weapon.
In the face of an attack, it can automatically generate a protective layer to effectively prevent the enemy from firing cold arrows.
Emperor Jialing naturally wanted to help his own people: "I think Li Qing's proposal is very good, so I will make a bet with this jade wrench." ”
"The emperor is wise." Li Beixuan gave up.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, her old man, is not allowed to let the old slave give up her fingers casually."
"Are you going to resist the decree?"
"The old slave doesn't dare" Cao Jin was furious, but he still forced a smile, "Lord Li, please?" Let's see how you can solve such unsolved cases within a stick of incense. ”
Li Beixuan lured the enemy deep and continued to cut leeks: "Actually, a stick of incense (30 minutes) is still too long, and I only need a cup of tea (15 minutes) to stab the murderer." The premise is that Gonggong Cao wants to take out the saber as a bet. ”
"You're deceiving people too much." Cao Jin is going crazy.
The short knife on his body, sharpened like clay, was a top-notch offensive weapon.
Without this saber, he would have broken half of his leg.
Emperor Jialing spoke: "I think that the sooner the murderer is caught, the better. ”
Emperor Jialing's attitude has said it all.
It is to press the east factory clearly.
Shen Huaiyi doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement:
"If I were Lord Cao, I would agree to Lord Li's challenge. Because no one can solve such a strange case within a cup of tea, Master Li will definitely lose. Even if Gonggong Cao agreed, he didn't have any loss, but he seemed more generous, isn't it, Lord Ye. ”
Ye Lianshan smiled innocently: "Lord Shen, you are known as the first god in the capital, you say so, the younger generation naturally does not dare to refute it." ”
Steward Wang also asked weakly: "Lord Li, can you really find the murderer in a tea time?" ”
Li Beixuan waved his hand: "As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office, don't we want to behave in front of the emperor?" If you can do it, don't say it first, you have to show your attitude first. ”
Cao Jin was a little bait: "Then what if Gonggong Li can't find the murderer?" ”
"If you can't find it, it proves that our West Factory is a bunch of waste, and I am willing to automatically dissolve the West Factory." Li Beixuan increased his chips and lured Cao Jin into being fooled.
Cao Jin was extremely eager to dissolve the West Factory.
Without the West Factory, the East Factory will be a monopoly, covering the sky with one hand.
It was a big gamble.
Even if you know that you may lose, you still want to give it a try:
"Xichang can't be dissolved if you say it's dissolved, you have to get the emperor's consent."
Emperor Jialing glanced at Li Beixuan, and muttered in his heart.
"With such a clueless case, can he really solve it in a cup of tea? Prince Zhong is gone, if there is no more Xichang and Xiao Lizi, then what will I do in the future? ”
Li Beixuan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to accept the challenge of Gonggong Cao. ”
Emperor Jialing bowed slightly, expressing his agreement.
Cao Jin is no longer secretive.
From the scabbard at his waist, he pulled out a short black knife.
The blade is engraved with mysterious runes, and the body exudes a permeating cold air, which is not ordinary at first glance.
"This thing is our family, found in a ruin, rumored to come from the fairy world. Our family regarded it as a treasure and was unwilling to be a color head, but the emperor opened the golden mouth, and our family naturally did not dare to disobey. Grandpa Li, let's get started. ”
"Wait." Shen Huaiyi interrupted Cao Jin, "Shen heard that the magic weapons of the fairy world have a companionship, and around the things of the yin, there are usually things of the yang that restrain each other......"
Cao Jin frowned, looked at Shen Huaiyi coldly, and wanted him to shut up.
Shen Huaiyi insisted on saying: "Shen thought that the knives in Gonggong Cao's hands should be two, one yin and one yang. ”
Good guys, and a windfall?
Li Beixuan comprehended: "Cao Jin, you are so bold, you dare to deceive your superiors and subordinates, and disobey the emperor." ”
"We don't understand what you're saying." Cao Jin said.
"Lord Shen has already made it very clear, the knives in your hand are two, one black and one white, one yin and one yang, these two knives are a whole, and you only take out half of them now, isn't this a bully?" Li Beixuan looked at Emperor Jialing and said, "Your Majesty, I see that Gonggong Cao and the entire Dongchang have not taken you seriously, so it is better to dissolve on the spot." ”
Cao Jin immediately knelt down and begged for mercy with a crying voice: "The emperor is clear, but the old slave doesn't dare." ”
Emperor Jialing put his hands behind his back: "You are an old minister who has followed the Empress Dowager for many years, and I do not doubt your loyalty." I just want to ask you, what Li Qing said, but is it true? ”
Cao Jin's heart is dripping blood, and his knives are indeed a pair.
One black and one white.
The white one is the yang knife, and it is also the main knife.
The black one is the yin sword, but the auxiliary knife.
The yang knife can feel the position of the yin knife, and it can also press the yin knife.
He originally thought that even if he lost today, he would be able to secretly find the location of Li Beixuan's hidden knife and snatch it back.
Now it's okay, both knives are going to be taken out.
He was unwilling, and he wanted to kill the king on the spot.
But now that everyone is watching, they don't dare to disobey the emperor in front of such a person.
just cleaned up his emotions and smiled: "If you go back to the emperor, what we just heard is that Caitou only took out a knife." ”
Li Beixuan interrupted him: "I didn't say that you should take a knife, I said that I took out your saber." Meaning, if you have a few swords, take out a few. ”
Emperor Jialing put pressure on Cao Jin: "Don't delay my time any longer. ”
Li Beixuan followed and urged: "Gonggong Cao, the emperor has made an order, you are still stunned, obviously there is no emperor in your eyes." ”
Shen Huaiyi also participated: "Father-in-law Cao, Shen thinks that you have a bigger victory." Master Li will inevitably pay the price and be punished for his impulsiveness. ”
Ye Lianshan watched the play next to him, smiled and didn't speak.
Cao Jin had no way to retreat, so he simply took out another pure white knife.
The knife is also engraved with runes.
It's just a yang text that bulges upward.
And on the black knife, engraved is a downward concave Yin text.
Li Beixuan guessed that the two knives should theoretically be able to merge the two and should be able to play a greater role.
In his eyes, there was a greedy gaze:
"That's good stuff. Lord Shen, thanks to your reminder, otherwise the lower officials would not be able to obtain such an artifact, and it must be a big regret in this life, so I will invite you to eat and drink when I go back. ”
Deliver an acceptance speech on the spot, and ask if you are convinced?
