Chapter Eighty-Four: Team Up and Spread Rumors
"Huh? Why did Lord Lu ask this question? ”
Liu Jin he, straightened, and burped a long wine: "Lu Shiyu is a good person, he wants to save Yunqing, he wants to wash away Gao Tinghe's wrongs, but unfortunately he put himself in." ”
There was a rustling sound behind the screen, which attracted Liu Jin's puzzled gaze.
Wei Cheng stood up Huoran: "Gao Tinghe was wronged?!" ”
"Shh......h Softly! At that time, Lu Shi came to ask, and the old slave became a little suspicious, and after thinking about it carefully, it was also the same reason. ”
Liu Jin straightened up: "At that time, the emperor was ill, and it was Liu Wentai and Gao Tinghe who came in turn, and Liu Wentai was on duty on the day of the accident, and Gao Tinghe stayed outside the palace.
At that time, Liu Wentai suddenly sent someone to report, saying that the emperor was seriously ill and went to invite Gao Tinghe to enter the palace. Less than a quarter of an hour after Gao Tinghe's carriage entered the palace, he heard that the emperor's blood was not stopping.
At that time, the current long live and the ladies in the East and West Warm Pavilion flocked to the dormitory, and the emperor and long live did not say a few words, and then Yan drove. ”
Wei Cheng was still guessing what the truth was, so Liu Jin lowered his voice and told him: "At that time, there was chaos in the palace, and the celestials were crying, and no one paid attention to whether Gao Tinghe's medicine was used or not. ”
"Are you saying that the first emperor didn't use Gao Tinghe's medicine at all?" Wei Cheng's eyes widened.
Liu Jin counted the time with his fingers: "Count from the door of the palace, just a quarter of an hour, change the prescription, grab the decoction of the medicine, and bring it to the emperor, and wait for the medicine to take effect." How to catch up? ”
"That!!"
Wei Cheng seemed to have thought of something, and jumped to his feet: "Why didn't my father-in-law tell the imperial brother to know?" Then Dr. Cui and Yun Qing don't have to die, and Master Lu doesn't have to be under house arrest! ”
Liu Jin patted his little brain lightly, but smiled silently.
"Father-in-law!" Wei Cheng did not relent.
"Master Cheng'er! The old slave didn't dare to poke this out! Look at Lord Lu, what is his relationship with Banzai? It's better than me, right? involved in this matter, he was still under house arrest in the Temple of Light.
If you want to prove that Gao Ting is innocent, doesn't it prove that Long Live Lord killed the wrong person? This is the first decree after Banzai's accession to the throne! It's about royal face, it's about the prestige of the Son of Heaven, even if you know that you're wrong, how can you change your mind easily?
Isn't that a change of order that makes hundreds of officials and the people see a joke? The old slave had persuaded Master Lu in advance to leave him alone with this matter, but it's a pity......"
Liu Jin sighed for a long time, took another sip of wine, and comforted Wei Cheng: "You don't have to worry, long live Lord Lu's house arrest is just a momentary anger." My lord, he is far away from the court disputes, and he may not be happy now! ”
Wei Cheng stomped his feet and grabbed his clothes in his hands: "What's the pleasure?" My lord, he was about to be beaten to death by the royal brother! ”
"Huh?"
Liu Jin immediately seized the loophole in his words, and the wine suddenly woke up halfway: "You have actually been to the Heguang Palace?!" ”
"Ah...... More on that later. Wei Cheng pulled the topic back: "In short, Dr. Cui saved my life, Gao Tinghe is innocent, and Lord Lu and Yun Qing are still in prison." In this case, Father-in-law Liu must help me! ”
Liu Jin wanted to run when he pulled his legs, but Wei Cheng was holding his legs, and he couldn't move even if he was asked.
"My little master!" Liu Jin held his pants tightly with both hands, and sighed helplessly: "Now that the situation is stronger than people, just the two of us, small soldiers, and we can't come up with actual evidence, where can we fight Wang Shangshu's family?" Don't be tough! ”
At this moment, a clear voice came from behind the screen.
"Father-in-law Liu, are you saying that we are understaffed?"
Liu Jin was suddenly startled and looked up.
I saw two figures in Confucian shirts, Shi Shiran turned out from behind the screen, it was Wang Shouren and Yan Song.
"Your Majesty has appointed the two of us as temporary imperial history, and we want to find out the truth about this case, although the case has been sealed at this time, the truth is not yet clear, and we will naturally continue to investigate." Wang Shouren gave a light salute and explained with a smile.
Yan Song smiled and nodded to Wei Cheng: "Thanks to Cheng'er's invitation, otherwise it would be difficult for a teacher to find out such a secret." ”
At this time, Liu Jin reacted: "It turns out that I invited our family here today, and I set up a set for me to drill!" ”
"How dare you! It's just that as my father-in-law said, just a few of our pawns are really powerless, my father-in-law is a celebrity in front of His Majesty, as long as my father-in-law helps, won't he succeed immediately? That's why we made this decision......"
Wang Shouren was trying to speak solemnly, but he didn't expect Yan Song to be clever and eloquent, and he made Liu Jin drunk in just a few words.
At this time, although Yan Song still maintained the belief of being an innocent and good official, he was much more skilled than Wang Shouren in the skills of seeing people and speaking people.
"Good!"
Liu Jin slapped the table: "Wang Qiong's old man's blood spews people, the four of us will join forces to find out the case!" ”
"Father-in-law and righteousness!"
……
The front hall was drinking, and Lu Qi's personal soldier captain Cheng Yanshan dressed up in disguise, changed into an ordinary porter's outfit, and gently entered the courtyard through the back door.
The two pro-soldiers hurriedly surrounded him: "Captain Cheng, how is it?" ”
Cheng Yanshan put down his burden and beckoned, and the soldiers hurriedly went up: "The things that the adults explained have been done, and now it is rumored everywhere that Wang Qiong killed Tong Zimo." ”
The two pro-soldiers clenched their fists happily: "Good! Let them also taste the taste of being wronged, and see if they dare to wronged us! ”
"Don't say anything like that!" Cheng Yanshan's eyes were serious: "We're not here to vent our anger on adults, what we want is to rescue adults!"
Let me ask you, are you used to being a pro-soldier, you eat good food every day, use good weapons, have much more food than others, and enjoy the benefits given by adults, are you still willing to go back to be ordinary soldiers? ”
"I don't want to!"
"The soldiers of the right sentry camp, do you want to enjoy the treatment of the Son of Heaven's pro-army in the imperial village, or do you want to go back to the Shenji camp to eat a big pot of rice?"
The Huishen Aircraft Battalion is like before, exploited by the commander's empty salary? Anger erupted in the eyes of the soldiers: "Absolutely unwilling!" ”
Cheng Yanshan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay!" Tonight, let's pretend to be a merchant and walk the streets, and then add fuel to the rumors, and be sure to spread Wang Qiong's reputation! ”
For the sake of Lu Qi and for themselves, the two pro-soldiers stood up with high morale and continued to spread rumors on the streets.
When the back door was closed, Cheng Yanshan poured himself a cup of cold tea and took out a note from his arms, on which was Lu Qi's scribbled handwriting.
Cheng Yanshan thought for a while, and took a pen and paper: "I have blamed the king for Tong's death according to my order, and rumors have spread in the city, but there is only one place that is not expected, and Tong is not killed by me." ”
After rolling up the note and stuffing it into the barrel of the pen, Cheng Yanshan got up and left the courtyard.
……
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao got angry again and scolded Yin Lin Qi of Shuntian Mansion.
Lin Qi was scolded and aggrieved, he only checked for half a night last night and found nothing, how could he find the murderer immediately?
But Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait.
I don't know why, the rumors that Wang Qiong killed Tong Zimo spread all over the city overnight, and they couldn't stop the mouths of the people if they wanted to, and the storytellers under the overpass were afraid that they would start to compile their heads.
Seeing that the majesty of the court was swept away, how could the young son of heaven who was still quite angry endure it?
It just so happened that a while ago, Wang Qiong's father and son caused a lot of trouble, and the new accounts and old accounts were calculated together, and Zhu Houzhao immediately asked the cabinet and the celebrant to draft a decree to demote Wang Qiong and dismiss him.
