Chapter Twenty-Seven: Accidents
Kangxi nodded, "um". Duolong said: "The weapon left by the traitor is engraved with the words 'Pingxi Palace'. The underwear worn by the traitors who were killed also had the mark of King Pingxi. The traitor who entered the palace last night to harass him, the evidence is conclusive, and he used Wu Sangui's men. Even if it wasn't sent by Wu Sangui, he ...... He can't get out of it. ”
Kangxi asked Suo Etu, "Have you checked it too?" Suo Etu said: "The traitor's weapons, underwear, and minions have all been checked, and the confession of the traitor recorded by the chief manager is indeed so confessed." Kangxi said: "Those weapons and underwear, bring them to me to see." Doron replied, "Yes."
Duolong had already wrapped up all kinds of evidence and ordered his cronies and guards to wait outside the upper study, and then went out to bring the dragon in, untied the burden, put it on the case, and immediately took a few steps back.
Kangxi walked over and picked up the sword to examine, and saw that the handle of a single knife was engraved with the words "Daming Mountain Customs General Soldier's Office", smiled slightly, and said: "It is not right to cover it, but it is self-defeating, and deliberately making ghosts is too much, but it also arouses suspicion." Xiang Suo Etu said: "If Wu Sangui sends someone to the palace to assassinate the criminals. Naturally, it is far-sighted and well-planned, what sword can't be used, but you have to carry a weapon with engraved words? Could it be that he didn't think that these swords would be lost in the palace? Suo Etu said: "Yes, yes, the emperor sees it, and the servants obey it."
Kangxi said again: "Think about it carefully, if Wu Sangui sends someone into the palace to assassinate, he will never pick when his son is here." When is it not good for the Assassin to come, should he choose his son to come to the court? This is one of the suspicious ones. Wu Sangui is good at using soldiers to do things carefully, and he sent these rebellious officials into the palace, the number of them is small, and the martial arts are not very high, knowing that it is difficult to succeed, what is the use? This is inconsistent with Wu Sangui's character, this is the second suspicious person. Besides, even if he sent someone to stab me to death, what good would it do him? Does he think of the rebellion? If he wanted to rebel, why did he send his son to the capital earlier? Didn't you send your son to us to be killed? This is the third suspicious. ”
Suo Etu said: "The emperor is sage, what you see is not within the reach of the minions." Kangxi said: "Think about it again, if the assassin is not sent by Wu Sangui, but carries the weapons of the Pingxi Palace, what is the purpose? Naturally, I wanted to frame him. Wu Sangui helped me to level the world in the Qing Dynasty, and he made a lot of contributions, and there are really many people who hate him and are jealous of him. Who instigated these traitors must be carefully interrogated. ”
Soetu and Doronzi claim to be. Xiang Yan said: "Your Majesty, since the traitor can frame the King of Pingxi, he can naturally frame others. Even if the traitor confesses to the mastermind behind the scenes, he can't be trusted. ”
Xiang Yan did not have a good impression of the Qing Dynasty, but had a lot of sympathy for the anti-Qing forces such as the Tiandihui and Mu Wangfu, and did not want the assassins to suffer more flesh and skin, coupled with the relationship between the little county lord and Fang Yi, so he spoke out to dissuade Kangxi after hearing that Kangxi wanted to ask for Etu and Duo Long's strict interrogation of the assassins.
Kangxi nodded. Suo Etu said: "Your Majesty, what you say to your father-in-law is reasonable. No matter how much you torture you, you may not be able to tell the truth. It's better to kill those traitors directly to set an example. Kangxi said: "No, we let those assassins go." Wei Xiaobao said: "Let it go?" This...... It's too cheap for them. Kangxi said: "Although these rebels are rebellious, they are all sent by order, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation." Now the most important thing is to find the mastermind and catch it all in one place, so that there will be no trouble. Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "Let the little wolf go, the little wolf should go to the she-wolf, right?"
Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed, applauded and smiled: "Wonderful, wonderful!" We let the Assassins go, but we watched them secretly, and they would go and meet with the leaders of the thieves. The emperor is very clever, and he is really better than three Zhuge Liang. Duolong said: "The emperor is sage, if it weren't for the emperor's detailed guidance and enlightenment, the minions would have been fooled in a daze, and they would inevitably have wronged good people."
Kangxi frowned and said, "It's just that how to keep an eye on the assassins and not let them find out is not easy." Xiao Guizi, I will give you a messenger, you pretend to be good people and rescue them from the palace. Those assassins, when you are a fellow believer, will naturally take you there. Wei Xiaobao groaned: "This ......." Kangxi said: "This matter is naturally quite dangerous, if they find out, they will have to take your life immediately." I would have liked to send two good guards to do it, but the Assassin is not stupid and may not be fooled. And if you don't try it once, you can't try it the second time. I think it's best for you to do this. You're a child, and the Assassin won't be suspicious. ”
Wei Xiaobao said: "The emperor asked me to do it, so I naturally obeyed my orders, and I am not afraid of dangerous things outside." Kangxi was overjoyed, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "I knew that you were smart and brave, and you were very willing to do things for me." Pretend to be as much like as possible, preferably in front of the Assassins, killing one or two of the guards who are guarding you so that they have no suspicion of you. He said to Duolong: "Duolong, when the time comes, you can relax the investigation and let Xiao Guizi take the assassin out of the palace."
Wei Xiaobao and Duo Longying: "Yes." Kangxi rubbed his hands together, very excited, and said, "Xiao Guizi, what do you want me to reward you for doing this?" Wei Xiaobao said: "If this matter is successful, the emperor will be happy." As long as the emperor is happy, it is better than any reward. The next time the emperor thinks of something interesting and dangerous, he still sends me to do it, and that's great. ”
Kangxi was overjoyed and said, "Definitely, definitely." Alas, little Guizi, it's a pity that you are a eunuch, otherwise I would definitely reward you for being a big official. Wei Xiaobao said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Emperor. I ask you for a grace. Kangxi smiled and said, "Do you want to be a big official?" Wei Xiaobao said: "No! I will do things for the emperor bravely and loyally, if you make trouble and make the emperor angry, you can spare my life, don't kill me. Kangxi said: "As long as you are really loyal to me, your head will be stable on your neck." Laughing as he spoke.
