Walking into the first floor of the tower, he saw tall filing cabinets on all eight sides against the wall, and the dense lattice was stuffed with materials, Xue Ying knew what this place was, "Your Majesty, isn't this the confidential archive of Lethe." ”

"You're right, this is Lethe's confidential archive, and I brought you here to find some information with you. ”

"Oh. ”

Xu Dong said, "Actually, this first layer is all ordinary materials, the second layer is the confidential archive, and the third layer is the place where the core secrets are hidden. ”

Hearing Xu Dong say this, Xue Ying unconsciously looked towards the second floor of the iron tower, and there was a one-foot-square copper lock hanging on the 'door' leading from the first floor to the second floor, because this lock was rarely opened, so the lock had already rusted into a big red 'flower'.

"Your Majesty, what are you looking for? ”

Xu Dong said, "When I was still in the Pure Yang Palace, there was a mystery that had not been solved, and I came to Lethe with this doubt, trying to find relevant clues in this octagonal tower. ”

He asked Xue Ying again, "Xue Aiqing, what is the name of the rebel leader of Lechuan this time, the Taoist name is 'Jade' Neck Zhenren, right?" ”

Xue Ying said, "It seems to be called Dai Shucheng." ”

Xu Dong said, "Look at these eight rows of cabinets, each layer is divided into a number of grids, each grid is pasted with a prefix, if you want to find something, as long as you check the corresponding prefix on the grid, it is easy to find the materials you need." ”

Xue Ying said, "Your Majesty, the minister knows what the emperor means, for example, the emperor is looking for 'Dai Shucheng' now, as long as he flips through the grid with the word 'Dai', he will immediately find the materials about 'Dai Shucheng'." ”

Xu Dongdao, "Yes, Xue Aiqing, your comprehension 'sex' is really not bad, and you can understand everything with a little dialing." ”

After a while, Xue Ying shouted, "Your Majesty, come and see, here is the grid with the word 'Dai'." ”

Xu Dong saw that this lattice was hidden in an inconspicuous corner, and this lattice was at the top of the cabinet, higher than the range of people's sight, no wonder he didn't find it just now, "Xue Aiqing, take out all the materials in this lattice and see if there is any 'Dai Shucheng'." ”

"Okay. Xue Ying agreed, and took down all the bookbooks in the grid, not even a piece of paper remained, and a strong musty smell emanated from the pages.

Xu Dong and Xue Ying rummaged through the pile of old papers with both hands, and after rummaging for a while, Xue Ying exclaimed in surprise and handed Xu Dong a yellowed booklet, "Your Majesty, you can't imagine that there are still materials for that old guy here." ”

This booklet is an index of personal names, the directory is densely written with names, Xu Dong looked, sure enough, found the name of "Dai Ding" in it, he rummaged through the back of the "Dai Ding" page, which reads: Dai Ding, the second son of the eighth generation of the Dai family in the North Shejiao, has studied Confucianism since childhood, and is quite 'fine' to the teachings of the Southern Ming Sect.

"Alas, this is nothing new. Xu Dong said, "I have conducted a secret investigation of all the former courtiers when I first took the throne, and I know that he came out of the Valley of the Giants, although he was very clear as an official in several dynasties, and he was more loyal to the monarch, I was the first to depose him from the post of secretary of the ministry on the grounds of old age. ”

"Dai Shucheng, Your Majesty, I found Dai Shucheng. Xue Ying shouted again.

Xu Dong took another booklet from Xue Ying's hand and looked at it, the pages of this booklet were fresher than the previous one, obviously the age was not as old as that one, it seemed to be the second half of a pedigree, Xu Dong quickly found the name of "Dai Shucheng", he couldn't see it, he was startled when he saw it, it read: Dai Shucheng, the eldest son of the second house of the ninth generation of the Dai family in the North Shejiao family, his father Dai Ding entered the court as an official in the country of Luotuo, and the official was still in the Ministry of Officials. ”

This is already very clear, Dai Shucheng is the son of Dai Ding, Dai Ding is an official in the country of Luotuo, his son staged a coup d'état in Lechuan and killed Sun Song, and rebelled against the country of Luotuo after entering the main mansion of Sichuan, trying to make Lechuan independent and renamed the "Giant Country", get rid of the vassal domination of the country of Luotuo, and this time Dai Ding '' a group of old ministers to carry out a coup d'état in Chunyang Palace, not because he said that he was colluding with his son.

The strange thing is that Dai Shucheng has been in charge of the Sichuan Mansion for so long, why didn't he destroy these books that record his family, isn't he afraid that these materials will fall into the hands of the monarch of Luotuo and let the monarch of Luotuo get rid of his father.

Arrogance, can only be said to be arrogant, he never thought that the rebellion of their father and son would fail, in his expectation, after his father organized a successful coup d'état in the country of Ratuo, the new king of the country of Ratuo was his father's adopted son, and his father brought a group of old ministers to power, so he would listen to his father's words and let Lechuan become an independent "giant country", and at that time he himself would be the king of the "giant country".

How many jumping clowns will only play their own calculations, don't you know that no matter how good this calculation is, it will also fail again, and now, Dai's father and son will end up in the defeat of Lao Tzu's death, and his son was expelled from the giant country and fled to another country.

The doubts in Xu Dong's heart were solved, he was unwilling to bother thinking about this matter, and was ready to stuff these old yellow calendars back to their original positions, when Xue Ying put these booklets in the grid, a piece of paper fell off his hand and flew down, Xu Dong wanted to pick up this piece of paper from the ground, and suddenly a line of words came into his eyes.

"Hong's Benlian, the third 'daughter' of the sixth generation of the Hong family in the north, was married to Dai Ding, the second son of the eighth generation of the Dai family, and had a son. ”

Xu Dong was taken aback, he didn't expect that as soon as he sorted out the relationship between Dai's father and son, another 'female' person jumped out, which can be said to be an unexpected gain, he carefully picked up this piece of paper, and saw the following content.

"Hong's Benlian, once had the nickname of 'evil Gu' woman'', with an anonymous family specializing in poison skills, and had a marriage contract with his junior brother Cui Chizi, and then Cui Chizi broke the contract, so he married Dai Ding, and was abandoned by Dai Ding after giving birth to a son. ”

"Oh. Xu Dong couldn't help but scream, no wonder the rebellion of Lechuan couldn't get rid of the Gu poison, it turned out that it was all this "evil Gu 'girl'" who was to blame, his mind was running rapidly, and he soon remembered the scene when he was lucky with Da Jinyan in the "Suiyang Palace" a few years ago.

That night, the three Ma sisters drowned themselves in the palace to 'force' to die, Xu Dong wanted to ask them about the crime of bullying the king, Da Jinyan said, "Your Majesty, the concubines are not afraid of your punishment, but now I want to tell the truth to the emperor, why our three sisters are determined to die, is because we have been poisoned by someone, and only the emperor is fortunate to be able to remove the poison." ”

Da Jinyan said again, "Your Majesty, let the concubine tell you clearly, our three sisters were originally newly recruited 'female' music from Tingyun Palace, and one day when we were practicing music in Tingyun Palace, we were poisoned by a 'masked' person. ”

Xu Dong was shocked at the time, what Da Jin Yan said was like a fantasy, the Pure Yang Palace was blessed with many magic obstacles by various forces, how could someone come in and give people Gu poison, this seemed to be something that he didn't even dare to think about, "When were you given Gu poison, do you remember what it was like to invite this person." ”

Da Jinyan said, "Shortly before the abdication of the former emperor, although the person who poisoned us was 'covered', we couldn't see what this person looked like, but the voice seemed to be an old woman. ”

"'Covered' face, listening to the voice, she is an old woman, who has the ability to break into the palace and poison the palace 'girl'. ”

Xu Dong searched in his mind, but there were two people who met this condition, one was Qian Xiaoyuan's master, Zijiang's mother, and the other was Ling'bo' and 'Dong''s Meishan Shitai, he thought about it for a while, whether it was Zijiang's old mother or Meishan's master, it seemed unlikely that they would enter the Luotuo Palace to give the palace 'girl' Gu, besides, there was no motive to do this in them.

A few days later, Xu Dong went to Lechuan to find Zijiang's mother for verification, but Zijiang's mother was unwilling to say who this old 'girl' was, and as a result, Zijiang's mother and her apprentices were also assassinated.

Now, Xu Dong finally understands through this piece of paper that it is this "Hong's Benlian" who poisoned the three Ma sisters in Tingyun Palace, and it is also the "Hong's Benlian" and her son Dai Shucheng who killed Zijiang's old mother and apprentice, because Dai Shucheng is already in charge of Lechuan, Zijiang's mother doesn't want to get into trouble, so she didn't tell Xu Dong the truth.

He gritted his teeth and said to Xue Ying, "Xue Aiqing, there is also a leader Hong Benlian who has not been caught, she is Dai Ding's ex-wife, Dai Shucheng's biological mother, if I catch this vicious old woman, I will definitely put her to death and break her body into pieces." ”

"Hong what. Xue Ying asked.

Xu Dong repeated, "Hong Benlian, this person is Dai Ding's ex-wife and Dai Shucheng's mother. ”

"Oh. Xue Ying said, "This person has seen it." ”

"What, you've seen it, no. Xu Dongdao, "This old woman is a divine dragon, she once sneaked into the Pure Yang Palace and applied Gu poison on the three song 'women', and the Three Kingdoms Master 'fought' with her, but he didn't catch her, let her run away under her nose." ”

Xue Ying said, "Your Majesty, you know that when the minister returned to the north to take revenge, he once entered the Hong Mansion with his face 'blinded' and personally slashed Hong Qingyun, when I killed Hong Qingyun and retreated outside the courtyard, I met this old woman, she is practicing the sword skills of the Feng School, and she is very skilled in a set of swordsmanship, but unfortunately our Xue family's sword technique is the nemesis of the Feng School Sword Technique, the old woman can't fight me, and she tried to apply Gu poison on me, and I saw through a sword in time to cut off one of her middle fingers. ”

"Ah, that's the case. ”

Xue Ying said, "Your Majesty, you don't know, the finger she was cut off was full of Gu worms, probably the Gu poison she had learned all her life was on it, if I was unfortunately hit by her, it would be an absolute dead end, at that time, I put this finger together with the Gu worm in a 'jade' bottle, and then consulted many masters in the Gu poison world, and it took me four full years to concoct the 'medicine' liquid to unravel these Gu poisons, because I knew that she would find me sooner or later." ”

Xu Dong asked, "Who is she from Hong Qingyun?" ”

"It's Hong Qingyun's aunt's 'milk' and 'milk', although she didn't uncover my 'mask', and she doesn't know who killed his mother's grandson, because the Hong family has many enemies, she wouldn't even think that it was me Xue Ying, but I have a hunch that she will find me one day, so I have to take precautions in advance, so as not to be poisoned to death by her Gu. ”
