Liangyi Palace.

Jin Kui stood with his head bowed, and Wu Dashou knelt down.

He was not qualified to directly ask to see the saint, so he could only bother Deputy Director Jin.

"Weichen reported Qin Hong, the master of the Taifu Temple, who had been corrupt and bribed for more than 1,000 taels for a year, and regarded the law as nothing, and he repeatedly discussed the sage's reuse of the minister to alienate the virtuous minister, complaining that he was not treated by the court, and said that the sage expelled Gu Ping'an to be the enemy."

"Weichen dares to have half a lie, and is willing to die with a thousand knives."

Wu Dashou was generous and sincere.

"How dare a courtier talk about the king?" The glamorous Empress looked down at him coldly.

Wu Dashou didn't dare to look at each other, and said in a trembling voice:

"Wechen didn't add oil and vinegar."

Jin Kui beside him was a little thoughtful.

Taifu Temple is also jokingly called the livestock and poultry temple in the market, managing the world's cattle, sheep and horses, although the main book is the civil official of the sesame mung bean point, it is still easy to get a thousand taels of oil and water.

As for the purpose of the surname Wu.

As a courtier, he cautiously reminded:

"Your Majesty, Qin Hong and Wu Dashou have a personal relationship, and the two defected to Xishu together."

The empress was expressionless.

With her exquisite mind, she can easily see through Wu Dashou's calculations.

In order to climb up, the little man does not hesitate to cut off his own arm and would rather bear the infamy of injustice.

"Jin Kui, send someone to raid the house, and if the evidence is conclusive, he will be executed directly." The empress said casually.

"Yes." Jin Kui led the edict.

……

In the evening of the same day.

"What's going on?"

Qin Hong's brain went blank and he was dragged into prison.

After a while, the head of the building was hanging, and the Jing'an Division posted a notice to warn the civil and military officials of the fate of greed and ignorance.

Of course, the officials passing by the Jing'an Division were unimpressed.

As an official in the court, he has no background and no backer, and once he commits a crime, the noose of strict laws is put around his neck.

But the temple has all the public power to protect it, not to mention the only 1,300 taels of stolen money, and there are many people who embezzle 100,000 taels!

Jing'an Division.

Jin Kui leaned back against the Taishi's chair, and there was an account book on the table, which was searched in the Qin Mansion, which recorded evidence of Wu Dashou's dereliction of duty.

Dog-eat-dog.

But Wu Dashou is a dog with value.

His existence can allow His Majesty to humiliate Gu Ping'an's clumsy tricks.

"Failed to kill someone with a knife, what's your next step?"

Kim Kui fell into deep thought.

If it weren't for the leakage of secrets by the forces of Xishu, Wu Dashou would probably have died under the suspicion of the saint.

But Gu Ping'an is scheming, will he not be able to guess that Chaoge City is leaking everywhere?

If......

"If that leak letter was also written by him."

Jin Kui suddenly had a ridiculous idea.

Suddenly, he shook his head and smiled, thinking about something.

"Director."

The subordinate knocked on the door and handed him the file, "Wu Xi's file." ”

To join the Jing'an Division, you must inquire about specific information.

Jin Kui flipped through it casually, looked at it for a while, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

A year ago, Wu Xi and Gu Ping'an were both in Guozijian Academy, and they were still in the same school.

"You go out first!" Jin Kuiping retired from his subordinates and paced back and forth.

Wrong.

Yesterday he borrowed a knife to kill people, and today Qin Hong died, Gu Ping'an was a classmate with Wu Xi and Qin Hong's son, everything was too coincidental.

It's as if an invisible hand is at work.

"Wu Xi and Qin Hongbo broke up a year ago, and Gu Ping'an was still studying in Guozijian at that time, so he obviously knew about this verse."

Jin Kui continued to look through the files, gradually shuddering.

If Gu Ping'an wanted to kill Wu Dashou, it was Qin Hong!!

Why did Wu Dashou suddenly report Qin Hong?

Could it be that he is really a traitor, and he was instructed by Gu Ping'an?

Jin Kui couldn't sort out his thoughts all the time, and said angrily:

"Come on, let Wu Dashou and his son meet this official!"

…

A quarter of an hour later.

Jin Kui's face was gloomy, and his eyes were like a sharp blade, staring at the father and son.

After being questioned for a long time, Wu Xi turned pale with fright, and even Wu Dashou was panicked.

Don't look at Director Jin in the palace, but he has the title of Scarface Judge in the government and the opposition, and his style is vicious and ruthless.

Jin Kui asked coldly:

"Tell this official, why did you suddenly have the idea of reporting Qin Hong?"

Wu Xiqiang calmed his mind and began to confess tremblingly.

That is, the plan of killing three birds with one stone, including his friendship with Miss Wang, was also informed, and he did not hide it at all.

"Who told you about the art of conspiracy?"

Kim Kui stays to the point.

"Listening to music in the theater, I think of my own situation, and suddenly I am ...... enlightened," Wu Xi explained.

Jin Kui felt more and more panicked, everything seemed to be premeditated.

"Come on, take Wu Xi to the opera garden and ask about the situation in the morning."

"Yes." Subordinates clenched their fists.

Wu Xi went together.

"Director Kim, what's wrong?" Wu Dashou asked anxiously.

Kim Kui was silent and did not answer.

Quickly whipped back and forth for half an hour, and his subordinates replied:

"A young woman gave the master a hundred and fifty taels of silver to point out the repertoire......

Jin Kuiru was struck by lightning, he propped his hands on the corner of the table, and his expression became shocked.

If his speculation is correct, Gu Ping'an's target is Qin Hong.

That all makes sense!

"You know that the murder scheme with a knife will be revealed, you know that Your Majesty will not punish Wu Dashou, but will reward him, and you also know that Your Majesty will only favor his son in order to balance the reward and punishment system."

"You know that your former classmates will be frustrated, especially after becoming an official, the frustration is even more tormenting, you know what he desires in his heart, you step by step to lure and provoke Wu Xi's dark humanity, guide him through opera, and imply that this is the most beneficial path for the Wu family."

"Qin Hong is dead."

Jin Kui's hair stood on end, inexplicably terrifying.

He didn't want to believe his speculation, it was terrible.

But Shangjiang County has proven that Gu Ping'an is proficient in manipulating human nature.

There are flaws in any complex scheme, and if you think through human nature and know what Wu Xi wants, you only need to add fuel to the fire and control him perfectly from thousands of miles.

It's almost a marionette!

……

Imperial.

The empress and the empress dowager are enjoying the scenery in the lake pavilion.

"Borrowing a knife to kill people, the queen mother, you say that you are clumsy or not, and you laughed to death your son."

The empress still couldn't help but talk about it, with a sense of showing off.

The Queen Mother glanced at her, "If there is no secret letter to mention it, with your suspicion, it will definitely fall into the trap." ”

"Queen Mother!" The empress's smile faded, and she said seriously:

"How many times have I said that you overestimate that despicable fraudster!"

"You are too underestimated by me, although I uphold the suspicious method of governance, but in the case of Wu Dashou, I will be interrogated in the prison, and I will never kill people easily."

"Okay, well, the mourning family believes you." The Queen Mother also smiled, she also hoped that Gu Ping'an would be like this, otherwise she would really become a demon in Fuyao's heart.

Right now.

"Sage, Jing'an Si Jinkui asks for an audience." The palace maid stepped forward.

"Xuan."

Jin Kui stopped outside the pavilion, bowed to the Queen Mother first, and then said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the minister has reason to suspect that Qin Hong's death is Gu Ping'an's ultimate goal."

The empress stared at him, her eyebrows cold:

"Nonsense!"

"Jin Kui, Wan'er, she is not in charge of the overall situation in Jing'an Division, I see that you are embarrassed."

Jin Kui smiled bitterly, powerless to refute this.

The name of Jing'an Sihe is not made by him, but Xuanyuan Wan'er, the descendant of the Xuanyuan clan, is wise and close to the demon, and is the absolute henchman of His Majesty.

"The mourners would like to hear your opinion." The Queen Mother said slowly.

Jin Kui looked at the empress.

Ji Fu shook sharply:

"Say!"

Jin Kui sorted out his thoughts and reported his guesses and analyses them one by one, no matter how big or small, including every detail.

There was silence in the Lake Pavilion.

The Queen Mother clenched her handkerchief, and the more she listened, the more mysterious she became, as if she was listening to a story made up by others.

The empress smiled softly, her beautiful cheeks were better than the sunset, and she slowed down her tone:

"A plan in a count?"

"Why don't you say that you, I, and all the princes of the Manchu Dynasty are puppets of cheaters, and they are all controlled by him?"

Jin Kui immediately knelt on the ground.

"Wechen doesn't dare."

"Don't you dare?" The empress was furious, and said coldly:

"Blowing a despicable traitor to the ground, playing chess thousands of miles away, and making every move countless, proves that I have no eyes? Do you also think that I did not cherish the traitors, and you also want me to become the laughing stock of the world? ”

"That's enough, Jin Qing is loyal and conscientious, but he is just reckless." The Queen Mother pretended to be angry and said in a deep voice:

"Don't exaggerate in the future."

Jin Kui is an old minister of the first emperor, and his loyalty to Sheji is undoubted, but he is honest and honest, and he is only suitable for Jing'an.

As he spoke, another chamberlain came to report.

"Saint, letter from Caigelou."

The Empress took it.

The Queen Mother and Jin Kui noticed at the same time that the back of the paper was stamped with a seal, which was a strange beast totem.

Shotai clan!

The owner of the letter should be one of the three princely forces.

The empress glanced at it, but her jade cheeks no longer had any expression, she pursed her lips stiffly, and her eyes gradually became gloomy.

No way!

The deception is too great!

"What's wrong?"

The Queen Mother was worried, grabbed the letter and looked at it.

"Gu Ping'an wants to use your hand to get rid of Qin Hong of Taifu Temple to complete the task, he only gave Wu Dashou's dossier to the military department, and it is very likely that he will use the strategy of attacking the east and west, remember, he can't let him get his wish."

The letter paper fell to the ground, and Jin Kui swept it quickly, stirring up turbulent waves in his heart.

He wasn't wrong.

It's a knife to kill!

But there are several knives inside and out!

The atmosphere in the Lake Center Pavilion was stiff and gradually depressed.

The empress stood quietly, her face becoming more and more ugly.

The Queen Mother was dumbfounded, and sighed after a long time, "The mourning family guesses that the secret letter may have come from Gu Ping'an's hand." ”

Jin Kui bowed his head and retreated, afraid to witness the scene of the emperor's rage.

There is no doubt that it must be Gu Ping'an's hand.

The real leak should be stamped, just like this one, it can only be credible if it has a seal.

And that letter was only four words - "Gu wants to kill Wu"

And the timing is so coincidental!

Wu Dashou made a noise on the front foot, and the back foot came.

There is only one explanation, the two colored pigeons belong to the same owner, and they arrived in the Shendu City at the same time, and the latter one was deliberately placed in the Imperial City Colored Pigeon Building.

Why don't you take advantage of Your Majesty's suspicion and directly say "Gu wants to kill Qin"?

Because Gu Ping'an knew very well that once he was interrogated in the prison, it would only take a day or two for the leaker to arrive in Chaoge City, and he would lose all the games at that time.

And he won again.

not only completed the task, but also humiliated His Majesty......

"Absolute ......"

Jin Kui sighed heavily.

After experiencing the strange people's calculations, I know how terrifying it is.

His Majesty was able to abandon such a figure, but he became an opponent.

Without outsiders present, the Queen Mother said bluntly:

"Fuyao, you were completely toyed with by Gu Ping'an, and you were playing in the palm of your hand."

"If you kill Wu Dashou directly, nothing will happen."

"If you didn't want to humiliate Gu Ping'an, you deliberately gave the Wu family favor ......"

Saying that, the Queen Mother shook her head:

"You can't play him, if it weren't for the emperor's identity, you would be devoured, and there would be no scum left."

The empress's snow-white face turned red, her anger was raging, and her voice became hoarse:

"I'm the Sheji Emperor, and he's just a vicious dog who is good at intrigues! In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is a joke! ”

"He is not worthy of letting me play with him, and his master Jiang Jinshuang is not qualified to give me boots!"

The Queen Mother looked into her eyes and said in a deep voice:

"You're right, but if you have the power in your hands one day, what will you do?"

"The world often scolds princes and meat eaters for having no foresight, and you have violated your conscience for the sake of immediate interests, insulted a person's dignity so much, and wanted to put people to death, will you regret it now?"

"If he is your courtier, he gives you advice, has enough power and resources to lay out Xishu, and puts out one after another means to obtain monstrous benefits at the lowest cost......"

"Say no more! I've never regretted it! The empress angrily cut off the queen mother's words and said word by word:

"The only thing I regret is that I didn't kill him in time! From now on, even if he kneels in front of me and begs for mercy, it is useless, I will let him survive but not die! ”

"Queen Mother, you will always remember that my ambition is the first emperor of the ages, how can it be affected by the ants, grass mustard?"

After speaking, the empress left with seemingly elegant steps.

But the Queen Mother still heard a roar in the distance, trying to restrain herself:

"Spread the edict, slaughtered Wu Dashou and his son, a bunch of waste!"

The Queen Mother was stunned.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

The little things that Fuyao thought were insignificant would probably become her lingering nightmare.
