In Lu Xiao's plan, Apocalypse has actually always been a tool man. Lu Xiao originally didn't plan to contact him. It's just that I'm going to let him live one more winter and fatten those pigs a little more.

At the same time, he used this time to exert his influence on Chongzhen as much as possible. When the other party takes the position, take Yuan Chonghuan's path, so that he has no way out.

But plans can't keep up with the changes. The princes of the court, along with Wei Zhongxian and Zhao Jingzhong, are not random chess pieces. Everyone has their own calculations, so Lu Xiao still decided to adjust his strategy.

Late at night, the Royal Palace.

The two figures walked quickly through the path in the palace and walked into the deepest part of the palace. This is the study of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Guo Zhen led the way in front of him while whispering.

"I said, Lord Lu, are you sure? I've gambled my life this time. I told the emperor that you had a secret report about the case of the treasure ship falling overboard, and this is why you have this opportunity. If you can't say why, we're afraid we won't see the sun tomorrow. ”

"Father-in-law Guo don't worry, I'm ready. And you won't see the sun tomorrow anyway. ”

Guo Zhen: "???!!! ”

"Because tomorrow is cloudy."

Guo Zhen: "......"

The next way, the two fell silent. Guo Zhen has been operating in the palace for many years, although he is not as powerful as Wei Zhongxian. But there are still some ways. The two of them walked around, bypassed all the eyeliners, and entered the study of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"Your Majesty, Jinyi Wei Zhen Fu envoy Lu Xiao asks to see you."

"Come in." Behind the curtain, there was the weak voice of the apocalypse.

The two walked into the study, and Tianqi was sitting on a chair with a night's porridge in his hand. Lu Xiao could smell that it was a bowl of lotus seed soup.

"You are the Lu Xiao who was born in Orion and made military achievements and entered the Jinyi Guard?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's a humble position."

"Well, let's talk about it. What did you find? "It's late at night, and Apocalypse's spirit is obviously not very good. However, he still beat his spirits and was ready to listen to what Lu Xiao had to say. After all, it is a major matter related to one's own net worth and life. Naturally, you have to give some special attention.

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter is confusing, and in the process of investigation, I found many clues that I dare not speak. Therefore, I made this decision and wanted to face His Majesty to make this matter clear. I also ask Your Majesty for forgiveness. Lu Xiao opened his mouth and shook the pot first.

"You're looking into something about my net worth and life. I promise you that there are no taboos. Say, I want to see who wants my life so much. ”

The assassination of any emperor will inevitably set off a bloody storm. It's a pity that the apocalypse in history hung up before it had time to retaliate. This matter was fooled in the past.

But now, although he is weak, he is not going to be buried immediately. If you don't kill him, wouldn't it be a waste of the emperor's name.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The case began to be investigated two months ago. As soon as possible, people were sent to look for the shipbuilders of the year. But the other party has long been missing. From this time, there was already a seventy or eighty percent certainty of the lowly position, and there were people who were troubled by this matter. After all, those craftsmen are top craftsmen. How could it all suddenly disappear? ”

Hearing this, Apocalypse nodded. The reason why he listened patiently to Lu Xiao said. It is also because I know this suspicion. Determining the ship must be problematic. What I experienced was not an accident, but an assassination.

"Go on."

"After the humble position had doubts, he thought of a solution. In the case library of Jinyiwei, there are records of the treasure ship that was built at the beginning. The humble took out the spare minutes and compared them with the stubs in the palace. But nothing was found. ”

"No problem?"

Tianqi questioned loudly, and even glanced at Guo Zhen.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the first time that the humble official has consulted the minutes of the treasure ship in the case vault. What I saw at the beginning was indeed exactly the same drawing, and I didn't find any problems. ”

Tianqi understood what Lu Xiao meant. Motioned for him to continue.

"I found out in the pursuit, but all the clues I pursued would be inexplicably blocked. After some pursuit, almost nothing was found. It wasn't until later that Guo's father-in-law asked for help from me. ”

"Help?" Apocalypse turned his head to look at Guo Zhen. Frightened, Guo Zhen fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty, the old slave really can't help it. At the beginning, the old slave was also investigating this matter. And in a daze, I found out a craftsman who built a ship. But now it seems that someone is clearly misleading the old slave. I'm a eunuch in the palace, how can I know how to investigate cases. What I can't find out about the adults of Lu Zhen, how can I find out.

At that time, the old slave had a heart. Before meeting with the 'craftsman', I sent a message to Lord Lu and asked Lord Lu to answer me. In this way, a killing disaster was avoided. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Gonggong Guo is right, he did see someone preparing to ambush Gonggong Guo that night. Later, he listened to Guo Gonggong say that the excuse that the other party could lead him out was that he had a different drawing. This immediately alarmed the lowly office.

After that, he avoided all the eyes and ears, entered the case library, and found the drawings he had seen again. But I was shocked to find that the drawings had turned out to be another one. There is a slight difference with the backup in the palace. ”

"Hehe, so Jinyiwei also has their people?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I'm afraid so. At the beginning of the construction of the treasure ship, the East Factory was responsible for supervising it. Later, the drawings were kept in Jinyiwei's case library. This...... I'm afraid the other side was ready from the beginning. Later, the erroneous drawings were put back into the library. I'm afraid it's a plan to pull the factory guard into the water at the same time!! ”

"Factory guards? I'm afraid it's Wei Zhongxian, right? Lu Xiao, you have said so much, and it is just a proof that there are people behind you at this time. But I never got to the point. Have you found out who is behind it? ”

"This ...... I dare not say it. ”

"Don't dare to say it, don't you dare to say it in front of me? Could it be that this world is not the world of my Zhu family. You are not my courtier? ”

"I don't dare to be humble, but this matter is really ...... Fantastic. After knowing that there was a problem with the treasure ship minutes of the case vault. Immediately personally supervise the Treasure Ship Minutes in the case vault. Then Shun Teng touched the melon and found the person behind it. It's just that the people behind this ......"

"If you are asked to say it, you can say it, no matter who is involved, you are not guilty of it. Fear of something. I know who it is, I know that person must be a member of the court. All you have to do is tell me whose person you have found. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not anyone's problem. After tracking and investigating in many ways, I finally found that at least four to fifty percent of the ministers of the DPRK and China were involved in this matter in a deep or shallow way. ”

“......”

There was silence in the study, followed by the violent coughing of the apocalypse. In the end, he vomited out a mouthful of blood!!
