Chapter 15: Old Things

Yan'er twisted the corners of her skirt with her little hands and said shyly.

"Tell Your Majesty, Concubine Niangniang said to let the slave and maid serve you, and you are not allowed to go back, so ......"

Fu Qiu is quite funny, he wants to tease and tease this little palace maid, and throw it on the dragon bed at night, so that she can transform herself into a real woman, but there are too many things at the moment, he has no time to think about those ups and downs, in the past, the government was a mess by the original owner, and he didn't care about anything, and now he wants to pick it up, it still takes time, and the time-limited task of the main quest is to kill him, and he must hurry up to complete it is the right way.

"You just say what I mean, let you go back, I'm very busy."

Fu Qiu said kindly, hearing Yan Yan'er's big eyes showing a hint of loss, and bent down to say.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As soon as she walked on her front foot, Fu Lao asked to see her, Fu Qiu put down the fold and said with a pleasant face.

"Fu Lao."

Old man Fu smiled and bowed, although he was respected, he had always regarded himself as a subordinate.

"Elder Fu, has there been any progress?"

Old man Fu nodded.

"Your Majesty, the shadow guard has found the place where more than thirty killers were hiding at first, in a deserted house somewhere in the imperial capital."

"Abandoned houses?"

Fu Qiu frowned and asked.

"Did the killers leave any traces there?"

Fu Lao shook his head.

"Back to Your Majesty, no. These killers seem to be reckless, but they are actually well-trained, and the old slave can see it when he is agitated on a rainy night, and he does not leave any horses. ”

"But, the old slave found the owner of this house!"

Fu Qiu's eyes shot a sharp light, and he took three steps forward.

"Who is it?!"

Fu Lao said in a deep voice.

"Summer smoke! A few years ago, the Oiran of the Imperial Capital Yiqinglou. ”

"Finished."

Fu Qiu frowned, and Fu Lao explained.

"This woman's background is nothing special, she is just a beautiful and dusty girl, she was ransomed a few years ago, and the old slave sent the shadow guard to investigate overnight, and the person who ransomed Xia Yan was the prime minister of the dynasty, Jeremy Lin, back then, he was not the prime minister, and he married a noble lady for the sake of his future, and secretly placed Xia Yan in this private house, that is, where the killers hid, until the year before last, after he was promoted and made a fortune, he took Xia Yan back."

Hearing this, a trace of murderous aura flashed in Fu Qiu's eyes, how could there be such a coincidence in the world, the black-clothed assassin obviously had something to do with Jeremy Lin, and it had something to do with him, so the Wang family that supported him would definitely not be able to get rid of it.

"Someone!"

Fu Qiu's face was pale, and he wanted to take Jeremy Lin to prison to set an example.

"Your Majesty, please slow."

Fu Lao stopped.

"Your Majesty, it's not the best policy to move Jeremy Lin now."

Fu Qiu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and waved his hand to drive the imperial guards back, Fu Lao continued.

"Your Majesty, Jeremy Lin is just a puppet of the Wang family's group, he is definitely not the mastermind, killing him will only startle the snake, and this evidence to kill a prime minister, I'm afraid it's too reluctant, let's pretend not to know for the time being, follow this line to investigate, if we find some useful evidence, at that time, General Xiao's army will return to the dynasty, and if you want to eradicate the Wang family, you will have more certainty."

Fu Qiu frowned and was silent for a while, he understood the meaning of this Taoguang and obscurity, and put a long line to catch big fish, but he was a little angry.

"Okay, Elder Fu, I listen to you, I will leave this matter to the shadow guard, and closely investigate all the evidence of Jeremy Lin's crimes, and it is best to find out the evidence of his collusion with the Wang family!"

Fu Lao nodded steadily, glanced at Fu Qiu, and stopped talking.

"Your Majesty, there is something that the old slave doesn't know whether to talk about or not."

Fu Qiu waved his hand.

"You and I are gentlemen and ministers, there is a master-apprentice relationship, and it doesn't hurt for Fu Lao to say it directly."

After speaking, he took Fu Lao's withered hand and walked forward, and personally brought him a chair, very close, Fu Lao was flattered, his cloudy eyes were a little moist, after so many years, it was the first time to see His Majesty treat him so well, he sat down slowly, his face was flushed, and he said excitedly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fu Qiu smiled slightly, signaling that there is no need to thank him, this old man will never abandon himself and Daxia, he is loyal, and he should be respected, Fu Qiu hesitated, organized his language, and said tentatively.

"Your Majesty, do you remember the former prime minister, Pei Qingfeng?"

Fu Qiu recalled a little, this Pei Qingfeng seemed to have been executed by himself, as if he had committed something and provoked his own anger before he died.

"Well, remember, what's wrong?"

He said lightly, Fu Lao wiped his cold sweat, and he didn't dare to continue.

"Your Majesty, the old slave feels that the death of the former prime minister Pei Qingfeng may be the key to investigating the Wang family's group, which is much more deadly than the assassination case."

"Oh?"

Fu Qiu's eyes widened, and he became interested.

"I've been busy these days, and I've forgotten a lot of things, why don't you help me remember my memories? Just say it, I don't blame. ”

Hearing this, Fu Lao sighed, and began to slowly tell about some old things of the year, Fu Qiu listened quietly, but the more he listened, the more strange his face became, it turned out that the former prime minister Pei Qingfeng was also a generation of loyal ministers, he saw that Fu Qiu was intoxicated with beauty, ignoring the government and politics, and he was sad and could not do anything, Wang Wei sent Wang Min into the harem, and also wantonly developed party henchmen in the court and cultivated cronies. It is precisely because of this that Pei Qingfeng began to fight with the powerful minister Wang Wei, the court at that time was balanced, but because of one thing, Pei Qingfeng ended up beheaded, so far in the court, no one can wrestle with Wang Wei, and this matter, speaking of which has a great relationship with Fu Qiu himself, the twenty-second birthday of the original owner of the body, entertaining hundreds of officials in the original Weiyang Palace, that night was extremely luxurious and extremely lively, as the prime minister, Pei Qingfeng of course had to bring gifts to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, and that night was as required, He brought his wife Zhuge Shi also, after three rounds of drinking, the original owner of the bastard emperor was drunk, I don't know what was going on, seeing Zhuge Shi's appearance, knowledgeable and reasonable, he had a lustful heart, and actually let people secretly tie up Zhuge Shi, and then forcibly occupied it overnight, this matter, broke out the next day, and continued to ferment, Pei Qingfeng generation of scholars where did they suffer such humiliation, standing on the Taiji Hall and pointing at Fu Qiu angrily, using up all the swearing, after scolding, he even took out a dagger, claiming to kill Fu Qiu, the faint king, Because of this, he was imprisoned, and the original owner of the body himself felt that the majesty of the king was gone, which was very embarrassing, and in anger, he cut off Pei Qingfeng's head, he can be described as a dead grievance, and then, it is a bad thing to occupy the minister's wife, and finally in order to cover up the ugliness, he gave Zhuge a new identity to the outside world, named Jieyu, and then locked up in the cold palace, and the entire prime minister's mansion was also implicated and exiled. Those who dare to make trouble mention it will directly cut off their heads, and this incident has become taboo over the years, and no one dares to mention it again, and Fu Qiu's reputation as the emperor has become very bad, perhaps, this is also the reason why many ministers would rather be close to Wang Wei, after listening, Fu Qiu was speechless for a long time.
