Chapter 347: Object of Suspicion (2nd Update)
What kind of value does a eunuch have, worthy of the other party's right-hand man like a bull head and horse face, even if it is not to pay for the lives of two people, but also to protect him?
"Feihua, what do you say about this sunflower father-in-law who deserves so much attention from the other party?" Lin Xiao asked with a frown.
Hearing this, Tie Feihua couldn't help but say: "Brother Lin, in the three days that you have been asleep, I have also inquired about the case this time, and I think the purpose of these people has been very clear, that is, they want to seek to usurp the throne. And the sunflower father-in-law was the old eunuch who followed the service when the ancestors laid down this great country, and when the current saint ascended the throne, he was already the head of the inner house. The first emperor valued him very much, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also believed his words, and when the first emperor died, it was he who passed on the first emperor's dictation, so that the current emperor sat on this dragon throne. ”
"Are you saying that the other party wants to imprison the sunflower father-in-law, so that after the emperor's death, he will fake the holy decree and become the emperor himself?" Lin Xiao said and couldn't help but wonder, "But it's not right, if their Jihua went well before, this inference is correct." But now that the identity of Sunflower's father-in-law has been revealed, is he still worth this now?"
"Of course there is!" Tie Feihua affirmed, "Brother Lin, don't forget that the identity of Sunflower Father-in-law was exposed by you, and you were the only one who saw him assassinate the emperor at that time, if they bit back at that time, saying that you wanted to assassinate the emperor, and at the same time, some friends on the rivers and lakes poured this dirty water on Sunflower Father-in-law, accusing him of being the murderer of the emperor." ”
"No, the emperor was saved by me at that time, he would never believe such a lie, unless he ......"
Lin Xiao and Tie Feihua glanced at each other.
"Unless the emperor dies!" Tie Feihua said.
"Yes, if the emperor dies, then with my status and popularity, it will be impossible for me to win over the decades of Sunflower Father-in-law's operation. And I also offended the queen, and the queen may be beaten up and help the sunflower father-in-law pour dirty water on me. Lin Xiao sighed helplessly. "I was impulsive, I was in a hurry to let the emperor take my pill, but I verbally bumped into the queen, with the queen's heart, I am afraid that I will hate me for the rest of my life!"
What kind of person is the queen today, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty basically know it, this is definitely a small belly, if you don't like her at all, she will hate your people.
But what if the emperor likes it, but others don't like it?
After all, this queen is the queen of the emperor alone. It sounds good that she is the mother of the country, but is the mother of the country in charge? It is the emperor who is in charge, and as long as the emperor likes it, then she can be the mother of the country.
The queen is really one person under ten thousand people, and sometimes even the emperor has to obey her. With such an identity, why should she follow others? She only needs to please the emperor alone, and everyone else?
"Brother Lin, you really have to change your temperament. Tie Feihua said.
Even the queen dared to scold, and it was in front of the emperor. That's a lot of guts. This is that Lin Xiao saved the emperor's life at that time, if it were something else, I am afraid that not only the queen would hate Lin Xiao afterwards, but even the emperor would probably hate him.
Fortunately, this time, the emperor knew in his heart that Lin Xiao was here to save his life. With this premise, the current saint is not a faint king, so naturally he will not hold a grudge against Lin Xiao.
Not only did he not hold a grudge, but he was also extremely grateful to Lin Xiao. Especially after realizing such a huge conspiracy, there is a feeling of the rest of the catastrophe.
It is not easy to be an emperor, and it is even more difficult to be the emperor of a big country.
You don't know when someone will want to assassinate you. You don't know when someone will poison the food you eat every day. So as an emperor, every day is a life on the tip of a knife, and the slightest carelessness can save your life.
Many people envy the emperor and want to go up and sit on that dragon chair, but God knows how you will feel when you actually sit on it.
Anyway, with the emperor's seat, Lin Xiao didn't bother to sit on it. This life is too restless, and it's not free, you have to go to the court every day to review and fold or something, what's the point of such a life?
Of course, this is Lin Xiao's own idea, and if you are willing to be a faint monarch, you don't have to go to court, and you don't have to review any twists and turns.
Without mentioning the nature of human nature, let's just say that the pressure of being an emperor is not borne by ordinary people. Those who have won the throne after fierce competition may strive to be a good emperor, but those who have become emperors smoothly and with little effort are prone to mediocrity.
How to put it, things that are too easy to get, people will never cherish them too much. Only the kind of thing that you have worked hard to get through a thousand hardships and dangers, you will cherish it extraordinarily!
"In this situation, we can only respond to all changes with the same. Lin Xiao said, "We can only spend time with them now, to see who will lose patience first, as long as they move, they will definitely leave clues." When the time comes, as long as we follow the vine, we can naturally catch their handles!"
The immovable enemy is the most dangerous and difficult to deal with. As soon as the enemy moves, everything becomes easy.
Lin Xiao understands this truth, and Tie Feihua understands it even more.
How to say it, although Lin Xiao is the chief catcher of the six doors and the head of the entire Celestial Empire's criminal investigation force, his identity is arranged systematically after all, and he has no experience in this area before.
Speaking of experience, it is still a real god hunt like Tie Feihua. You must know that Tie Feihua has handled those difficult cases, she is a god catcher, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that she is the first female catcher in the world.
How many people on this shijie can be worthy of the four words "number one in the world"?
Lin Xiao is recognized as the world's No. 1 light skill on the rivers and lakes, but there are still some people who are not convinced, feeling that they may not be much worse than Lin Xiao, or even stronger than Lin Xiao.
But there is no one who competes with Tie Feihua for the first female head catcher in the world. No one thinks that Tie Feihua is not worthy of this title, they just feel that this is not enough.
In terms of martial arts, Tie Feihua is the last few of the eight gods, but when it comes to handling cases, she is ranked first.
"Feihua, don't leave when you come back, help me finish this case first. Lin Xiao said, "In terms of handling cases, I am much inferior to you, and now with you and Lu Xiaofeng, I think that no matter how cunning the mastermind behind the scenes is, he will definitely not be able to escape your eyes!"
It was rare to hear Lin Xiao praise himself so bluntly, and Tie Feihua seemed a little uncomfortable.
"Brother Lin, don't say that, I'll be proud if you say that. Tie Feihua said with a smile.
"Proud, you Tie Feihua deserves to be proud of yourself!" Lin Xiao said with a smile.
The two chatted for a while, mainly Lin Xiao was talking and Tie Feihua was listening. Although Tie Feihua had learned some facts about the case in the past three days, Lin Xiao knew a lot of things that others didn't know, so only Lin Xiao could tell her these things.
Tie Feihua listened carefully, and at the same time, she also tried to analyze the various information given by Lin Xiao, and when Lin Xiao finished speaking, she already had a general direction in her mind.
"Brother Lin, then you heal your injuries first, and I'll go down. Tie Feihua said.
Lin Xiao nodded, and after Tie Feihua left, he also changed his posture and sat cross-legged on the bed to recover seriously.
......
Lin Xiao's recovery took more than two days.
In the past two days, it has been calm outside, and the other party has not even shown any signs of moving.
However, Lin Xiao and they are not in a hurry, they have more patience than the other party. Now, although the enemy is dark and we are clear, but in such a war of attrition, the enemy cannot consume them.
After all, they are on the bright side, and the other party has been hiding in a dark corner, and they are always scared. And they have set their sights on those who are qualified to ascend the throne after the emperor's death, and only these people will need the full help of Grandpa Sunflower.
However, there are really a lot of such suspects, and there are several of the brothers of the Holy Lord who are still alive today, not to mention other relatives of the emperor. There are countless feudal kings in various places, and these are all possible suspects.
However, there are few of them who are the most suspicious, these are high-powered, and they are very well-rated characters such as the prince or the marquis.
The high position represents that he has the strength to sit firmly in the position of emperor. The wind review is good, which means that his popularity is very good, everyone thinks that this person is good, and when the emperor dies, as soon as he appears like this, everyone will think that this person is quite reliable for the first time.
If it is a character such as a prince who has no power and is disliked, then there must not be much suspicion. Such people have not yet taken the step of seeking to usurp the throne, and their first step should be to open up the relationship between the upper and lower levels and establish a good relationship network.
Being the emperor also needs someone to support you, and others don't agree with you, how can you be the emperor?
Therefore, those who have a bad reputation, a low status, or do not have any real power at all, are directly excluded by them.
And among these lists, there are only a few who currently stay in the capital or stay in the capital all year round, which suddenly makes them narrow the scope of their suspicions.
In the past two days, the people of the six doors have been secretly staring at these targets, and they have not moved at all for more than two days.
In this case, either each of them is the mastermind behind the scenes, or the acting skills of the mastermind behind the scenes are really good, and they are very calm!
The first thing Lin Xiao did after recovering was to invite everyone over for a meeting, mainly to discuss the information they had before.
But this time, Lin Xiao actually had another idea! (To be continued......)
