Chapter Seventy-Three: Extortion

"Minister Yang Bufan, see the emperor!"

"Xiao Yangzi, you don't have to salute!"

Naturally, it was the Shang study, and at this time, in the Shang study, Duo Long and Suo Etu were already on the side, and the two of them didn't have to salute when they saw Yang Bufan when they saw the emperor, and they looked up to Yang Bufan a little more for a while.

The little emperor looked at the three henchmen who helped him capture Aobai in front of him, and asked directly without nonsense, "Duolong, have all the assassins caught been verified?"

Duolong didn't expect that the little emperor asked him first, and hurriedly saluted, "Back to the emperor, there are three live traitors caught, and the minions interrogated them separately...... Sure enough, it was the king of Pingxi...... A subordinate of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi. ”

The little emperor nodded, "um".

Duolong said, "The weapon left by the traitor is engraved with the words 'Pingxi Palace'. The underwear worn by the traitors who had been killed also had the mark of King Pingxi.

Therefore, the slave concluded that the traitor who entered the palace last night to harass him must be Wu Sangui's subordinates. Even if it wasn't sent by Wu Sangui, he couldn't get out of it. ”

The little emperor also grew a lot after Aobai's death, and he didn't draw a direct conclusion, but asked Suo Etu, "Have you also checked it?"

When Suo Etu heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Back to the emperor, the traitor's weapons, underwear, and servants have all been checked, and the traitor's confession recorded by the chief manager is indeed so confessed." ”

The little emperor said, "Those weapons and underwear, bring them to me." ”

Doron should be "yes"!

Duo Long knew that although the emperor was young, he was very shrewd, and this matter was very important, so he had already wrapped up all kinds of evidence and ordered his cronies and guards to wait outside the study's room, and immediately went out to get it in, untied the burden, put it on the case, and immediately took a few steps back.

The little emperor walked over and picked up the sword to examine, and saw that the handle of a single knife was engraved with the words "Daming Mountain Customs General Soldier's Mansion", smiled slightly, and said, "If you want to cover it, it is not right, but it is self-defeating, and deliberately making ghosts is too much, but it also arouses suspicion." After talking to himself, he looked at Suo Etu and said, "If Wu Sangui sends someone to the palace to assassinate the criminal, he is naturally far-sighted and well-planned, what swords can't be used, why do you have to carry engraved weapons, how could you not think that these swords would be lost in the palace?"

"Suo Etu Dao is clearly sage, and the slave is obedient. "Suo Etu's sycophant slap is just right.

The little emperor turned his head to Yang Bufan and said, "Little Yangzi, what do you think?"

Yang Bufan knew very well in his heart, and he didn't hide it, no matter who said the same thing, so he replied, "Back to the emperor, in fact, I also think there are a lot of things wrong here."

The little emperor has been full of praise for Yang Bufan since the incident of Aobai. Hearing that he had the same thoughts as himself, he looked happy on his face, "Tell me about it!"

Yang Bufan said, "I think there are three suspicious points:

First, if Wu Sangui sent someone into the palace to assassinate him, he would never choose when his son was in Beijing. I heard that Wu Sangui is very fond of Wu Yingxiong.

Second, Wu Sangui was good at using troops and handling affairs thoroughly, and he sent these traitors into the palace to serve as officials, but the number of them was not very large, and his martial arts were not very high, so he knew that it would be difficult to succeed, so what was the use? This was inconsistent with Wu Sangui's character.

Thirdly, even if the assassins he sent really succeeded, what good would it do him, did he think of rebelling? If he wanted to rebel, why did he send his son to Beijing, wouldn't he send his son to us to be killed?"

After that, he added another sentence, "Your Majesty, the ministers are guessing randomly, I don't know if I guessed right or not." ”

When the little emperor heard this, his face was immediately overjoyed, "Xiao Yangzi really has these three points of yours, what you said is reasonable and well-founded, but it's a pity that you don't have a reputation, otherwise I would have to make you an official."

Yang Bufan here has just been appreciated, and over there, the beads of sweat on the foreheads of Suo Etu and Duolong rolled down, and they bowed down, and Suo Etu said, "Manager Yang has extraordinary knowledge, and he deserves to be a young hero, I am stupid, please ask the emperor to punish the crime." ”

Yang Bufan knows that whether it is this Suo Etu or Duo Long, it is of great use to him, not to mention that Duo Long alone can create countless economic benefits for himself, gold bars, air drying Dafa, 500,000 taels of real money and silver, which one is not from his hand, it can be said that Suo Etu is definitely a rare blessed person in Lu Ding Ji.

"Your Majesty, you really can't blame Suo Etu and Duolong. Yang Bufan hurriedly said.

Suo Etu saw Yang Bufan saying good things for himself, and his heart was happy, although he and Yang Bufan were brothers, they just took a fancy to him being favored by the emperor, and there were people in the court who were good officials, even if he didn't help himself, at least he wouldn't stab him in the back.

Now when I see this cheap brother opening his mouth to defend himself, my heart is moved.

The little emperor said, "Why don't you blame them? They can't even see such a simple truth, how can they be worthy of their official position!"

This was said severely, and it scared Suo Etu and Duolong a lot. Yang Bufan knew that the little emperor would never really blame, he had just been in power, and the Aobai party had just been removed, and it was the time to employ people, and Duolong and Suo Etu were the people who killed Aobai and made meritorious contributions, so they could be regarded as confidants, so they just complained a few words.

"Your Majesty, Lord Duolong has been suppressed by Aobai before, and now he has just gained power, and he has encountered such a big thing, everyone will worry about the emperor's blame, in this case, it is inevitable that the judgment will be inaccurate, which is normal. Lord Suo, Lord Duolong, are you like this?" Yang Bufan asked with a smile.

"Mr. Yang analyzed it very well. "Doron and Soetu should be in unison.

With the steps, the little emperor was not harsh, but he still said quite majestically, "Since Chief Yang pleads with you, I will write down this matter first, and if I commit it again next time, I will be punished together."

Soetu and Doronzi claim to be. Duolong said: "The emperor is sage." If it weren't for the emperor's detailed guidance and enlightenment, the minions would have been fooled and would inevitably have wronged the good people. ”

"Good people?" the little emperor sneered, he didn't believe in any good people or bad people, and he was his enemy when he came to assassinate him.

Seeing that the emperor no longer commanded anything, Suo Etu and Duolong kowtowed and resigned.

After the two of them went out, the little emperor smiled and asked, "Xiao Yangzi, do you want to get rich?"

As soon as Yang Bufan heard the word fortune, he immediately guessed what the little emperor was going to say, and was about to show off, when he suddenly thought that he had already sold too much today, and if he showed too much, it might cause the emperor's jealousy, and immediately said, "If the emperor doesn't tell me not to send it, I won't send it." The emperor asked me to send it, but Xiao Yangzi didn't dare not send it. ”

The little emperor smiled and said, "Okay, I will make you rich! If you take these swords, the underwear that you have stripped from the assassin's body, and the assassin's confession, you will have a lot of money." ”

Yang Bufan smiled and said, "The emperor is talking about Wu Yingxiong?"

The little emperor smiled and said, "You are very smart, so let's go." ”

Yang Bufan said, "Wu Yingxiong, this kid, this time the luck is really high, and the lives of his whole family are rewarded by the emperor." ”

The little emperor asked, "What are you going to tell him?"

Yang Bufan said, "I said, surnamed Wu, our emperor has seen thousands of miles, what are you doing in Yunnan, the emperor doesn't know anything." You don't rebel, the emperor knows it, if it's... Hey... What is half-hearted, the emperor is as clear as the emperor. You two should be obedient to me!"

The little emperor laughed and said, "Okay, just say it, knock more when the time comes"

Yang Bufan looked at the little emperor, smiled slightly, and thought in his heart, do you still need to say this?

"By the way, Your Majesty, what are you going to do with those assassins?"

Wu Lishen and the others have to think of some ways to rescue them, after all, Mu Wangfu still wants to win him over.
