Chapter 50: The Bitter Meat Scheme

Murphy looked at all this at night in shock, his nephew held his son hostage, and the second son of Yan Guo was also there, what kind of trouble is this?

Seeing this, Xilou immediately saluted: "The junior has seen Lord Shangshu. ”

Murphy looked at him suspiciously, then turned to his nephew and asked, "You are not patrolling outside the palace, what are you doing here?!" ”

When Ge Yiyan saw his uncle coming, he was even more confident: "Just now Zuo Qing sneakily came to the back mountain, and I followed all the way, but I didn't expect to see him and the second son of Yan Guo discussing how to deal with his uncle here, and I caught him, and now he has obtained the stolen goods, and I ask my uncle to deal with it!" ”

Mo Fei's eyes swept over Zuo Qing, and there was a little suspicion in his heart, but ...... Zuo Qing is the person he brought back with his own hands, and he has been giving advice for himself for so many years, how could he betray himself, but Yan'er is not like lying......

"What evidence?" He said coldly.

Zuo Qing pretended to be a clean person and made a position to Mo Fei: "If my father-in-law doesn't believe me, I can let General Zuo search my body, if I really find any evidence, I will dispose of it!" But father-in-law, I have followed you for many years, and it was your appreciation that allowed me to enter the academy and have the status I have today, don't you believe me? ”

Murphy's heart was empty, if the search was really fruitless, wouldn't it hurt his heart, and years of hard work and cultivation were very likely to be in vain!

Ge Yiyan noticed his uncle's hesitation, and was worried that it would be bad for him to continue such a stalemate, so he said sharply to Zuo Qing: "Since you think you are innocent, then take out the brocade box, if you don't dare, there is a ghost!" ”

Xilou explained: "General Zuo misunderstood, here's how it happened......"

"Second son! It's too late to explain everything now, either prove your innocence, or, follow me to see Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty interrogate you personally, to see when you started to have contacts, and maybe you can find out something about Yan Guo. ”

"Why should General Zuo be aggressive," Zuo Qing said in a deep voice: "Although you and I have always been at odds, in the final analysis, we are all working for our father-in-law, do you really want to tear your face?" ”

"Yes, so what?!" He pressed the sword down hard, the blade of the sword slashed through the skin, scraping off a layer of skin, blood pooled out, and instantly stained the placket red, and everyone present felt a chill in their hearts.

Seeing that he was grinding, Ge Yiyan simply did it himself and turned out the brocade box.

"Look, here's the proof!" Ge Yiyan raised the brocade box in his hand and said to Murphy: "How can they have a secret meeting in such a place!" Uncle, don't you believe me? Zuo Qing is a traitor, from beginning to end! ”

Mo Fei's face suddenly turned cold, and he was about to have a seizure, but he saw that in the brocade box that Ge Yiyan opened, what fell out was a blood jade.

Ge Yiyan couldn't believe that a mere piece of blood jade could shake the dignified Shang Shu Ling, and asked him in disbelief: "You said that this is what you can deal with your uncle?" You...... What the hell are you in your gourd?! ”

Zuo Qing's eyes looked at the West Building, and the two sword eyebrows quickly wrinkled together: "The blood jade of the Yan royal family, it can live carrion, and give birth to muscles and bones, but it's a pity that it's ......" He looked at the jade shattered into pieces on the ground in disappointment, "It was destroyed by you." ”

Xilou sighed and said to Ge Yiyan: "General Ge arrested people indiscriminately, and he didn't let people explain, now it's okay, such a rare high-grade blood jade, that's it...... It's just broken! He hurriedly walked around, and said to Murphy: "My lord doesn't know, I have known Zuo Zhangshi for a long time, but because of my identity, I rarely moved, in the last month, I learned that the Yan King Palace got the blood jade that can bring the dead back to life, so I wanted to come to Zuo Zhangshi, but I am just a proton, and I can only spend a lot of money to ask someone to steal ...... from the palace."

"Where is the blood jade used?"

"The dark tide in Kyoto is surging, and there are many killers lurking, and the left palm is worried that it will endanger you, so he asked me to find the blood jade in case of emergency."

"So, don't you dare to take out this treasure openly, so you take advantage of the winter hunt to trade in the back mountain?" Murphy asked.

"How can you say it's a deal!" Xilou hurriedly corrected, "This blood jade is a gift from me, and I don't ask for anything in return!" ”

Mo Fei's heart knot was completely solved now, and he changed his smile and said to Zuo Qing: "The blood jade is gone, and my side is full of guards in the open and secret, and it will be fine, don't worry." ”

"However, those officials have always opposed you, and I am afraid that they will ......"

Murphy waved his hand, not afraid at all: "Those pedantic people don't need to be afraid, they should be worried about their own lives." ”

"Since my father-in-law has said so, then I will no longer bother Xilou to help me find an elixir from all over the world."

The father is kind and filial piety, but it is really enviable, but Ge Yiyan is angry and itchy: "What a college leader, he actually joined forces to frame me!" Zuo Qing, Zuo Qing, today I have learned what it means to be a thief shouting to catch a thief, you wait, one day I will let you die without a place to be buried! ”

He forcefully retracted the sword from its scabbard, looked at the west building on the side viciously, and returned to Murphy's side, as soon as his foot landed, he slapped him head-on, and then his face was hot and painful. He looked at his uncle in surprise and was about to defend himself, when several guards pressed up behind him and held him down, and immediately escorted him away.

"Good boy, you're frightened." Murphy took two steps forward, smiled and said, "Yan'er is the son of the prince after all, don't be like him, I will definitely teach a good lesson when I go back, and there will be no next time." ”

"My father-in-law is serious, and the misunderstanding between General Zuo and me has not been reconciled so far, and I have long been used to it, so I am afraid of ...... After this incident, he would frequently cause trouble, which would affect his father-in-law. ”

"Although Yan'er is impulsive, she still takes the overall situation into account, so you don't have to worry about that."

Zuo Qing nodded, a little ashamed: "What my father-in-law said is that in this case, I will let him have some in the future, who will make him his younger brother." ”

Murphy smiled with relief, seeing his shocking wounds, he couldn't help but feel distressed: "Your injuries need to be treated in time, I will immediately send a doctor to your room after I go back, don't touch the water these days." With that, he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Father-in-law don't worry, my injuries are not serious, and I can heal."

"There are a lot of imperial doctors accompanying me on the hunt, don't use them in vain, listen to my father-in-law, hurry back to the other hospital and stay, I will immediately ask the imperial doctor to come over!" Saying that, he didn't give him any more room to refuse, and hurriedly left to ask for a doctor.

After everyone left, Zuo Qing went to check his neck, his fingers touched a narrow wound, the soft flesh turned out, and wet blood flowed down his arm.

Xilou hurriedly went over to help him stop the bleeding, and muttered: "Accident, blame me for not thinking it through!" Luckily it didn't hurt my blood, otherwise I would have ......."

"But what?"

Xilou kept his head down in order to check his injury, and when he heard what he said, he immediately raised his head to avoid it, and his hand still helped him press the injury.

"You're all hurt like this, and you still have the heart to laugh? Everyone is gone, you just say it clearly, what are you going to do next? ”

"The first step has been completed, and the next step depends on how much Song Yiyan hates me."

"What do you mean?"

"Ge Yiyan brought 3,000 people with him for winter hunting this time, and the entire hunting ground was his people. If I've provoked him, do you think he'll take this opportunity to kill me? ”

"You're going to set a trap and let him in?"

A chill slowly spread on Zuo Qing's face, "Ge Yiyan has done a lot of dirty things in the past few years by taking advantage of his position, if it weren't for Mo Fei to clean up the aftermath for him, I'm afraid he would have been dealt with by the prince's party a long time ago." So, in Murphy's eyes, Ge Yiyan was far inferior to me, and this time he fell under the impression of being impulsive and selfish, and I thought that if I gave him another blow, he would completely lose his current status, and Murphy would no longer have any expectations for him. ”

Xilou clapped his hands, but after thinking about it, he was scared again: "After all, he is the son of the prince, and if he looks up and doesn't look down in the future, he is afraid that it will be bad for you and me." ”

"Ge Yiyan, who has no official position, is just a dog in the palace, what kind of bloody storm can he set off!"

A day later.

A lamp in Zuo Qing's room was on, emitting a faint light and shadow under the green screen window, and the person opposite was holding a wine glass, and a few pieces of air-dried plum blossoms on the wine melted away from the wine, like a drop of blood spinning in the glass.

Zuo Qing stared at the wine in his hand and smiled faintly, "When did you learn to make wine?" ”

He smiled: "This is taught by Ayan, I am not good at learning art, so let's make do with it." As he spoke, he poured him a glass.

Zuo Qing drank the wine down: "She is not the most precious recipe, a few days ago I asked about this plum blossom brew, she refused to reveal what she said!" ”

Xilou put the wine glass under his nose, shook it slowly, and said leisurely: "Although I didn't learn the essence, I also imitated three points, and I will ask her for advice another day." ”

"Let's get down to business." Zuo Qing pushed the wine glass away, "Come here today, what's the matter?" ”

Xilou Bar lowered his mouth, a little unfinished, reluctant to put down the teacup, and said to him: "Of course, it's for the song Yiyan, when you were in the back mountain, I saw that you were confident, but a whole day has passed, why is there no movement at all?" Tomorrow is the first hunt, three in all, and when it's over, it's too late. ”

Zuo Qing smiled disdainfully, "It seems that if I don't give you a reassuring pill, you won't be able to sleep." You help me to put a message, that is, tomorrow hunting, I will go to the forest to the west, as for the reason, you can help me think of one. ”

"What, you want to risk yourself?"

"Since you don't believe me, I have to prove it to you, and urge him by the way, tomorrow I let him go home empty-handed, and he will definitely be eager to strike again and get into our trap."

"And what if you don't get it?"

A cold light appeared in Zuo Qing's calm eyes, and the smile on his face was a little cold, "He will definitely go." ”

Xilou frowned and thought about it, still skeptical, "If you don't fall for it, it will be difficult to let him be fooled again." ”

Zuo Qing picked up his wine glass, "Before sunset tomorrow, I will definitely let you see the results." ”

The next day, Su Yan pulled Yan Zhen, who was still asleep, off the bed, and shouted excitedly, "Get up!" Today's hunting, everyone went, and your shelf was too big, could it be that someone else carried a sedan chair to invite you? ”

Yan Zhen still wanted to lie on the bed, and squirmed with her, his hand was strong, and he easily pushed her away with a push. He was half on the ground, half of his body was still wrapped in a quilt and lying on the bed, muttering: "It's early in the morning, you are noisy for me to sleep!" ”

Su Yan put his hands on his waist and thought in pieces, "It seems that I am the only one in heaven and earth, Su Yan has seen the sleeping appearance of the former general, if I spread it, you will wait for the image in the hearts of thousands of girls to be broken!" I wish your image to crumble into slag soon! ”

As soon as Yan Zhen heard that he was going to be framed, he jumped up from the bed suddenly, his black hair hung down on his chest very obediently, and his cheeks were ruddy, like the girl from Yunlai Pavilion! He hurriedly begged for mercy: "Good sister, I am your own brother, how can you trap me in injustice!" ”

Su Yan smiled proudly: "Then hurry up, we are hand-picked by His Majesty to participate in the competition, if we don't even fight a few game, it's really unreasonable!" ”

Yan Zhen then remembered that today was the day of Sitang's hunting competition, and he immediately jumped out of bed and said, "Eh! I almost forgot, I need to get some makeup, you're waiting for me outside. ”

Su Yan subconsciously glanced at the dresser in the corner, in order to show his best complexion and posture in front of people, he actually moved the dresser all the way over, I am afraid that even the concubines in the palace are not as exaggerated as him, and he is surprised: "The seven-foot man is scratching his head in front of the mirror, which can be described as a spectacle, and it is beyond the reach of the dust!" ”

Yan Zhen pushed her out of the door with a shyly expression, then sat back down in front of the dresser, drew his eyebrows, nodded his lips, and finally combed his hair with an ivory comb, which was always like silk, and tied a bun on the top of his head, and inserted a hairpin. He looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly became distracted, his hand reached out to his forehead, and gently stroked the scar hidden under the broken hair, his expression froze little by little, like a sharp sword.

"What you gave me, I always remember clearly!"

Su Yan pulled the window and urged, "Okay?!" I'm leaving! ”

Yan Zhen laughed, barely forgot the pain, and shouted to the outside: "Good sister, wait a little longer, I haven't applied incense yet!" ”

The person outside the window almost didn't fall to the ground, good guy, I've never smeared incense, sure enough, I'm too manly!
