Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Death of King Zhuang
"Qiqiao, go and prepare a pot of Mengding tea, and then prepare some pastries, and this king and uncle will have breakfast together!"
Outside the middle hall, Li Xuan stopped, looked at the pretty maid Qiqiao who followed on the side, and whispered a command, Qiqiao promised to leave.
Walking into the middle hall, in the empty hall, Zhao Gong, who was dressed in a water ripple robe, was standing alone in front of the center wall, admiring calligraphy and painting.
Li Xuan hurriedly stepped forward, stood with his hands tied, and bowed slightly: "Uncle, why are you here so early today?"
"I heard that there aren't many people from Nanchang in your house, so I sent some people over." Zhao Gong said casually, and looked at the calligraphy and painting on the wall again: "This is Li Si really wearing clouds and seeing the sun, the qi is the same as thousands of miles, visit me to Qiongdu." Cover the clouds and see the blue sky, and talk about lice. It's a rare boutique!"
Although Li Sizhen is not as good as a painting saint like Yan Liben, he is also a famous calligrapher and painter in the world, and his calligraphy and painting are excellent!
"It's a pity that I couldn't get his "Book Aftertaste", otherwise I really wouldn't have any regrets." Li Xuan was a little emotional, but then said, "Li Sizhen is now in charge of Xuzhou Sima, if Uncle really wants his paintings, don't you just send someone to go!"
"The mood is different, and the style of the work is also different!" Zhao Gong shook his head, looked at Qiqiao who was sent to breakfast, and watched her withdraw again, and then his face turned solemn: "Da Lang, something happened. Last night, Zhuang Wang passed away!"
"What?" Li Xuan's face was stunned, and she couldn't help but exclaim, this news is too amazing.
Although he knew that King Zhuang would die this year, and it might even be between this ten months, he definitely didn't expect it to be so early.
You must know that he only met King Zhuang yesterday, and King Zhuang's body has obviously improved, but why did he suddenly die again!
"Is it Qiu Shenji?" Li Xuan looked at Zhao Gong fiercely, and his face changed.
You must know that last night, it was Qiu Shenyu who took people to Shendu Garden.
He is responsible for the follow-up of everything, and he is the most suspicious when King Zhuang dies.
But how did you let King Zhuang die?
Also, what about Yang Tai?
"No one knows that Qiu Shenqi went to the Dragon Scale Palace last night, but everyone knows that yesterday was the last King Zhuang you saw, and now there are rumors from the Dragon Scale Palace that you used poison in King Zhuang's medicine last night and directly poisoned him."
"I poisoned King Zhuang?" Li Xuan's eyes widened in disbelief, things changed so quickly that he couldn't even react.
For a moment he even felt a little funny.
"Yesterday was the last King Zhuang you saw, and after you left, King Zhuang never saw any outsiders again, so this pot naturally has to be buckled on your head." Zhao Gong shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "The reason why I rushed here so early is to remind you not to go out today, so as not to trouble finding the door!"
Li Xuan paused slightly, and nodded solemnly: "My nephew knows, this matter must be pushed by someone behind the scenes."
"Don't think about it, it's not Qiu Shenyu!" Zhao Gong sat down under the table in the middle hall, took a bowl of rice porridge, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, and sighed softly: "He is even more unlucky than you, last night, he was ordered to go to the Shendu Garden, secretly took over the guards of the entire Shendu Garden, and quietly sent people to surround the Dragon Scale Palace, and then asked something from the mouth of a manager of the Zhuang Wang's Mansion who went out, and then quietly entered the Zhuang Wang Bureau, ready to capture Zhuang Wang directly, but he didn't expect that Zhuang Wang was dead!" ….
Li Xuan slowly sat down on the other side, and also picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, the movement was not fast, and while thinking about the process of the whole thing, he picked up the rice porridge.
Suddenly, Li Xuan's movements paused slightly, looked at Zhao Gong, and said with a serious face, "That steward, I'm afraid that someone deliberately let him out."
Zhao Gong nodded lightly, threw half of the osmanthus cake into the rice porridge, clapped his hands, and said, "I guessed it, Qiu Shenyu arrested the steward last night and asked him again, but no matter how the steward was tortured, he just said back and forth that he went out in the name of King Zhuang, and the rest is unknown!"
"I guess the secret guard must have asked all the secrets of his eight ancestors, but he just didn't ask what happened to King Zhuang's death?" A smile flashed on Li Xuan's face, and when he saw Zhao Gong nodding, Li Xuan followed
asked, "What about Yang Tai, what about Shi Yangtai, the head of King Zhuang's Mansion, Qiu Shenqi wouldn't have looked for him, right?"
"Why not, it's just that I didn't find it." Zhao Gong raised his head and said with a wry smile: "The people of the secret guard turned over the entire Dragon Scale Palace and the entire Shendu Garden, but they just didn't find the slightest trace of Yang Changshi.
"Then came the news that I killed King Zhuang!" Li Xuan couldn't help laughing, looked at Zhao Gong and asked, "Uncle, Yang Tai must still be in the Dragon Scale Palace, he must be hiding in the residence of a certain prince, as long as Qiu Shenqi is willing to find it, he will definitely be able to find people, what is he worried about?"
There are rumors about Li Xuan killing King Zhuang, someone must be manipulating it secretly, and the only one who can connect everything with Li Xuan is King Zhuang Changshi Yangtai.
Yesterday, Li Xuan took Meng Yi to examine all the princes of the Dragon Scale Palace, and when he left, he re-examined King Zhuang's physical condition, which made Yang Tai suspicious.
In the evening, Yang Tai sent people out to test, and Qiu Shenqi was hit by a trick without paying attention and was discovered by Yang Tai.
After that, Yang Tai killed Li Feng, the king of Zhuang, very decisively, and then disguised himself as someone else to lurk.
Yang Tai is not the real Yang Tai, but the disguise of the Thousand-Faced Buddha of the Tianyin Sect, once he is disguised and lurking, it is difficult for others to find out.
If he doesn't do anything, then I'm afraid it will be difficult for anyone to find out his true colors, but once he moves, someone will immediately notice the difference.
Just like now, he deliberately released rumors related to King Zhuang's death and Li Xuan, and Li Xuan himself could see at a glance that Yang Tai was manipulating behind his back.
As the head of the secret guard, how could Qiu Shenyu not feel unusual, but he didn't do anything, so he just withdrew, which is interesting!
"He's luring the snake out of the hole!" Zhao Gong nodded, and said with a somewhat ugly face: "Now that the secret guard has set his eyes on everyone in the Dragon Scale Palace, no matter who has anything wrong, he can find out, especially Yang Tai, Qiu Shenqi wants to find out more people related to Yang Tai!"
"That's why I was asked to carry this black cauldron first!" Li Xuan shook his head a little amusedly, and said softly, "Since that's the case, then follow his wishes and see what he can find out!"
After a pause, Li Xuan looked at Zhao Gong with a straight face: "Uncle, although I can not go out today, there are some things that I still need your help to deal with!" ….
Li Xuan briefly said about Su Lianqiao, and then said, "I'll write a letter later, and Uncle will help bring it in and hand it to her!"
Zhao Gong nodded, but looked at Li Xuan with some surprise: "Although I heard about Su Forsythia waking up and losing his memory before, I didn't expect the details to be like this, you ...... Da Lang, you don't have any thoughts about her, she is the daughter of a traitor, even if she recovers her memory and says everything, she will definitely not enter the palace, and even the fate of the Teaching Division, don't make a mistake yourself!"
Li Xuan paused slightly, and sighed softly: "Uncle, Da Lang doesn't have this kind of thought, he just looks at her pitiful and has a little pity, but he has forgotten a little, although she is now under the jurisdiction of the internal guard, but in the end, she still has to go to Dali Temple."
The murder of Pei Qizhe, the lieutenant of Luoyang County, the murder of a mage, the case of conspiracy to endanger King Yong, and all kinds of cases of great rebellion will be finally convicted by Dali Temple.
Don't look at Su Lianqiao now that she has fallen into Li Xuan, the secret guard has temporarily given up her control, but once she recovers her memory, not only will the secret guard take people away from Li Xuan's hands as soon as possible, but other people can also get people away from Li Xuan's hands through Dali Temple.
Even if Li Xuan took her out of the palace and took her to other places, unless Li Xuan chose to give up everything and wander the world with her, she could only make friends obediently.
There may be other means to do it later, but it's all a follow-up.
Before, Li Xuan had to hand over someone!
Once he disobeys the order, he will immediately become a sharp sword used by others to deal with Li Xuan.
"Uncle rest assured, Da Lang knows in his heart, or trouble Uncle to bring the letter into the palace, yesterday Da Lang said, he will enter the palace today, but there is an accident, he can't fulfill the contract, always say one
sound." Li Xuan bowed slightly, and his tone was very relaxed, without any heaviness.
Zhao Gong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Don't worry, Uncle will help you bring the letter, but then again, the matter of your marriage should also be tight!"
"Uncle!" Li Xuan immediately smiled bitterly, what is this, how did you get involved with that matter again!
"Some things, when you get older, come naturally, and you can't suppress them by force."
