Chapter 1260: Imminent Crisis (I)
Late at night, Chatai Wangfu ......
In the front of Xicheng, there was a lot of fighting, and Sun Yun shuttled between life and death several times to ensure the safety of the king of Chatai; while in the rear of the palace, Chatai Dordun did not forget Sun Yun's previous entrustment, and secretly investigated the truth about five years ago all the time, and at the same time had to take into account the fact that he had to follow his every move of Chatai Kortai. The two brothers, who were once enemies, now work together for the same goal.
And this night, Chatai Dordun ordered Shi Yixing, the former historian of the imperial court, to collect the relevant documents of the "Dadu Riot" five years ago, and Shi Yixing did grasp a lot of clues, and quietly came to the Chatai Palace's mansion late at night to resume his life......
"Gongzi, you asked me to find out, the content of the public relations copywriting of the remaining parties of the 'Canghuan Sect' five years ago, and my subordinates found it......" Shi Yixing handed over a stack of copywriting with an official seal to Chatai Dordun, and said secretly, "These are all left by the people of the 'Canghuan Sect' five years ago - when Gongzi Ye and Lord Taishi suppressed the rebellious party together, most of the intelligence documents about the 'Canghuan Sect' stealing the secrets of the imperial court were lost, and now the subordinates can only find these ......"
"That's enough—" However, Chatai Dordun seemed to be extremely excited, and said calmly, "These are the evidence of the crimes of the guys in the 'Canghuan Sect' back then, and from these documents, you can find out which court officials were involved in this matter back then, and then find out the ...... one by one."
As he spoke, Chatai Dordun quickly flipped through the chapters in his hand, and directly retrieved the names of the officials of the year one by one from the signature office.
"But the subordinates thought to themselves, I'm afraid it's useless......" Shi Yixing muttered quietly on the side, "The villain looked at the name on it, most of the officials retired five years ago, and now if you want to investigate the personnel, I'm afraid it's not that simple...... After all, those guys who betrayed the court five years ago are not stupid, and it is impossible for them to continue to be in the eyes of everyone obediently after the East Window incident......
"That's ...... that" Chatai Dordun calmly pondered, and the speed of flipping through his hand did not stop, until he saw a familiar name in the signature office, Chatai Dordun looked stunned for a moment, and then showed a confident faint smile.
"Childe, you ...... What's wrong?" Noticing the change in Chatai Dordun's expression, Shi Yixing asked tentatively on the side.
"Ben Gongzi has found a key person...... "Chatai Dordun chuckled quietly.
Shi Yixing glanced at it and saw the location where the Chinese case of Chatai Dordun was parked, and the three words "Du Changle" were marked in the signature.
Shi Yixing knew who this person was, so he couldn't help but say, "Son, this person ...... Isn't it the ...... you wanted to investigate before?"
"That's right...... "Chatai Dorton didn't seem to want to reveal too much in front of outsiders, so he replied simply, and then asked slowly, "By the way, where did you find these copywriters?"
"In Yucheng Lane in the 'Luozi District' of Beicheng......" Shi Yixing replied 1510.
"What are you talking about?!——" Who knows, after hearing the news, Chatai Dordun seemed to be stunned, and immediately changed his expression, and his face was very surprised.
"Son, what's the matter...... What's wrong?" Shi Yixing was afraid that he had said the wrong thing in front of Chatai Dordun, so he cautiously asked rhetorically.
Tchatai Doldun did not answer, and his stunned expression lasted for a long time - hearing the news, Tchatai Doldun was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he did not come back to his senses for a long time.
"Gong ...... Son, if there is nothing else, villain...... The villain went down first......" Shi Yixing was also scared when he looked at it, and he couldn't wait to leave this place quickly, so he dealt with it casually and said a perfunctory word, and then exited the door.
And Chatai Dordun didn't stop him much, looking at the empty night outside the door, his eyes were always wide in disbelief......
"Yucheng Lane? impossible...... This is absolutely impossible to ......" Finally, Chatai Dordun paused for a moment, slowly shook his head and said to himself, "Five years ago, Yucheng Lane was the stronghold of my master's command of the forbidden army...... Since most of those official seals and copywriting were burned or submitted to the court after the suppression of the thieves five years ago, how could it still be in my master's stronghold...... Secretly hiding evidence against thieves is a capital crime, and Master can't take this risk, so why is that...... Or is it that from the very beginning, these copywriters have been in Yucheng Lane...... It's impossible, what ability and reason do the people of the 'Canghuan Sect' have to hide the evidence in the enemy's stronghold......"
The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes, the truth about the "Dadu riots" five years ago has not been carefully explored before, but this time I re-investigated it, but I found that there were too many contradictions that could not be explained.
Chatai Dordun suddenly thought that Sun Yun had instructed him before that if there were special circumstances about the truth about the incident five years ago, he could ask his master directly. However, the last time I met Master in front of the gate of Chatai Kortai, the results were very few......
(in recall)......
A hundred steps away from Koltai's house, Chatai Dorton just wanted to venture to observe the situation, but he didn't want to be "stopped" by an inexplicable figure.
Chatai Dordun was startled at first, afraid that it was the other henchmen of the "Canghuan Sect" lurking in the palace, but when he saw his identity clearly, he was slightly relieved - the person who came was actually his master Taishi Hansheng.
"Master, why did you come here?......" Chatai Dordun asked in a deliberately low voice for fear of startling the snake.
But Taishi Hansheng is different from him, he is not here to monitor everything here, he should come out at night to walk and relax, after all, he has been living in the palace for a long time, and he rarely has the opportunity to go out, and he wanders around the palace every morning and evening, which has become his only "leisure".
"It's nothing, I ate a little too much at night for the teacher, so I came out for a walk...... Sure enough, Taishi Hansheng looked calm, as if he didn't know anything, and said to each other, "It's you, why are you sneaking in front of your brother's room alone?"
"Shhhh
"Is there any secret?" Tai Shi Hansheng still looked unaware, and asked suspiciously.
"I'm ...... Oops, I can't say a word clearly......" Chatai Dordun thought that if it was someone from the "Canghuan Sect" inside, he found that someone outside the house would probably have left long ago, and he couldn't help but show a depressed face and said, "Hey, forget it, it's all in vain, I'm afraid the people inside have already left......"
"What the hell is going on?" Taishi Hansheng continued to ask in a tight voice as if he had explored the end.
"It's okay, it's okay, the apprentice is also here for a walk?...... "disdain" in front of his master, after all, his master is an "outsider", and he has been so inexplicably "stirred up", and he can't blame his master for suddenly appearing and hindering himself.
"You seem to be angry...... Tai Shi Hansheng said jokingly.
"I'm not angry, the apprentice just talks casually...... "But his master appeared here, Chatai Dordun didn't have a little "harvest" tonight, it happened to be about the things of five years ago, and he had many questions that he wanted to ask his master, so he turned around and asked, "By the way, Master, about the things of five years ago......
"What's wrong?" Taishi Hansheng squeaked in advance and asked slowly, "Dordun, you seem to have something on your mind......
"That's it...... Regarding the suppression of the rebellion in Dadu by our master and apprentice five years ago, the disciples have been a little confused in the past few days......" Chatai Dordun was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a raised voice, "Although we successfully suppressed the 'Canghuan Sect' and the 'Mingfu Sect' at that time, what about the origin of these two sects...... Or rather, the reason for their rebellion, the disciples still don't know a little ......"
"Why did you suddenly ask this?" However, Taishi Hansheng made an expression that made people puzzled, and said in a strange tone, "Five years ago, I didn't see you care so much......
"That's because ......" Chatai Dordun also seemed to have something unspeakable, but looking at his master's somewhat "reluctant" face, it may have been too "harsh", so he changed his words, "Of course, Master, you are inconvenient, or you don't want to say, you can not answer...... The apprentice just asks casually, and there is no need to take it seriously......"
In fact, Chatai Dorton didn't want to disturb his old man too much, and it might not be a good thing to mention things that had already passed.
"There's nothing inconvenient about it...... What happened five years ago, isn't it what you saw in Dordun? The two major sects rose up and caused a storm in Dadu, and were finally suppressed by you, me, and the forces of the imperial court, what questions can you have......" Tai Shi Hansheng replied casually, seemingly not caring at all......
(In reality)......
"That time, Master almost didn't mention this matter, and at that time, I felt like Master was deliberately hiding something......" Chatai Dordun guessed, this time he decided to try first, and he must ask why, "Now that I have found the traces of the 'Canghuan Sect' five years ago in Yucheng Lane, Master must know the details, and I must ask for a result tonight!"
After thinking about it, Chatai Dorton immediately pushed his wheelchair, took the copy in his hand, left the room, and went to the master's residence......
At this moment, outside the palace city......
Shi Yixing completed the task assigned to him by Chatai Dordun, and prepared to return to his residence in a hurry, as if he was deliberately hiding from something, walking like a thief, avoiding the fire of the guards of the city tower, and walking forward in a dark and gloomy manner.
"Master Shi is in such a hurry, where are you going?" However, the voice of a woman in front of him suddenly stopped him.
"Ahh
The masked woman slowly uncovered the cloth and revealed her true face, it turned out to be Zuo Ziyou of the "Canghuan Sect" - it seems that the subordinate of Chatai Dordun's cronies, Shi Yixing, a former court historian, also colluded with the "Canghuan Sect".
"Sneaking to the palace tonight, it was ordered by Chatai Dordun again, right?" Zuo Ziyou sneered, and looked at Shi Yixing with cold eyes, like a sharp dagger that could pierce the other party's heart at any time.
"Big ...... Big...... The eldest prince has an order, let the villain ...... Gather ...... about your religion from five years ago Intelligence ......" Shi Yixing knelt on the ground in fright and said tremblingly.
"Oh, he told you to do it, you really did it, are you his dog......" Zuo Ziyou was shocked, and then forced to ask, "Say, what did you give him tonight?"
"The eldest prince asked me to ...... Collect information about the ...... left by your religion five years ago The official document of the imperial court ...... Shi Yixing didn't even dare to raise his head, and continued to tremble, "I don't have anything to deal with, so I will ...... Just hand over the official documents that were left in Yucheng Lane five years ago...... Handed over to the eldest prince......"
After Zuo Ziyou listened, his face changed suddenly, and he said coldly: "Hmph, there is not enough success, there are more failures, I didn't think that you were also a useless species, I shouldn't have trusted you if I knew it......"
However, Shi Yixing didn't know the reason for this, remembered what he had seen in the palace just now, and continued to tremble: "Yes...... By the way, after the eldest prince heard the news just now, he ...... Indeed, the reaction was somewhat ...... Anomalous ......"
"Of course, because of this matter, he will definitely have some suspicions......" Zuo Ziyou seemed to know something in advance, revealing a murderous look, looking at Shi Yixing who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "Keeping people like you, I really don't feel at ease, now in order to seal up, I can only wronged Master Shi......"
As soon as the words fell, there was a "whoosh-" sound, Shi Yixing's eyes were stunned, and he didn't have time to scream, and a dagger suddenly pierced his abdomen......
On the other side, Chatai Dordun had already pushed the cart to the door of Taishi Hansheng's room......
"It's strange, there are no candles in the room, is it true that the master has already slept?" When he came to the door of the master's room, he saw that it was pitch black inside the window, and Chatai Dorton couldn't help muttering to himself.
Thinking that if the master slept, it would be inconvenient for him to disturb him, but tonight he was determined to find out the truth, but Chatai Dordun still relented and knocked on the door of the master's room.
"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock...... "However, after a few more knocks, there was no movement in the door.
"Master, it's me, Dorton—" Tsatei Dorton was afraid that Master would sleep too deeply to hear, and even shouted outside the door.
But there was no response from inside, and to be more precise, Taishi Hansheng didn't seem to be in the house.
Chatai Dorton was a little uneasy, and when he found that the door was not locked, he said slowly: "Master, the apprentice came in rudely—"
"Squeak-" The moment he pushed open the door, although there was no candle illumination, it was obvious that there was no one on the bed where he was resting.
"Strange, Master is not here?" Not seeing his master, Chatai Dorton couldn't help muttering, "I was still walking around the yard yesterday, and I will be gone tonight...... But at this hour, where can he go alone, and he doesn't greet anyone......
Slightly disappointed, Chatai Dorton suddenly caught a glimpse of the candle flame in the next room—it was the cuckoo's room, and it seemed that the cuckoo had not gone to bed at night.
"Miss Du hasn't slept yet...... Chatai Dordun muttered, looking at the evidence in his hand, as if he had other thoughts......
