Chapter Forty-Six: Counting is Counting
Half an hour later, a loud cry came from the study of the Wen Mansion: "I found it! I found it!" I saw a chief guard of the Mobile Division holding a red brocade box in his hand, and ran out of Wen Liren's study with a face full of ecstasy, followed by two guards and a golden-feathered knight. 【Reading.com】
The guard grew up and shouted, ran all the way to the door of the Wen Mansion, and quietly exchanged a look with King Kang Song Xingyun, Song Xingyun had already told the location of the chief brocade box of the guard in advance, and the search of the rest of the people was a disguise, and this chief guard was the ultimate executor.
Prince Zhong and King Jing glanced at each other, and since this matter was confidential, only the three of them knew the inside story. At this moment, the two princes can see a trace of joy in each other's eyes, and since the brocade box has been searched, the next time is the time to see the poor dagger. The time has come for Wen Liren and King Haijun to die. And His Majesty the Holy Emperor will also lose his most powerful subordinates.
Song Xingyun took the brocade box, put his hands on top of his head, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, the evidence has been found, please take a look at it Your Majesty." ”
Song Xingtian glanced at Wen Liren and asked, "Wen Cifu, is this brocade box something in your mansion?"
Wen Liren laughed and said, "King Kang, in my opinion, this guard elder has never opened the brocade box at all, and he doesn't even know what the box contains, so how can he be sure that this is evidence? Could it be that this brocade box was placed in Wen's mansion?"
King Kang's face was suddenly covered with black lines, and he really wanted to grab this guard chief and whip him hundreds of lashes. Although you know that this is evidence, you also have to pretend that you don't know, open it and see that someone else needs to teach such a simple thing!
The captain of the guard also realized that he had made a mistake, and just wanted to lie that he had opened it and checked it, but when he thought that the golden-feathered knight who had followed him all the way was still beside him, such a lie would be exposed on the spot. Since I didn't know what to say, I simply shut up and didn't speak.
King Kang deserved to be an old fox, he was calm on the surface, and said with a faint smile: "Such an important evidence, he is naturally a small guard captain who does not dare to look at it casually, in case there is any mistake, can he afford it? As a senior secret service officer, he just presented the evidence that he thought was the most suspicious according to his own experience. Master Wen, do you know this brocade box?"
"Others say that King Kang is wise, and from this point of view, it really deserves his reputation," Wen Liren's words were there, and his smile was mixed with mockery, and he continued: "This brocade box Wen naturally knows, this is a book credit that is usually bloomed, how can it become the evidence in King Kang's mouth? ”
"When death is dying, I am still pretending to be crazy and stupid. King Kang glanced at him coldly, then walked in front of Long Yuan, presented the brocade box above his head with both hands, and said respectfully: "Please ask His Majesty the Holy Emperor to personally check the contents of the box, Wen Cifu is a human or a ghost, it can be seen immediately." ”
The chamberlain took the brocade box and presented it to the Holy Emperor.
Song Xingtian opened the brocade box, only to see that there were indeed more than a dozen letters in it, and the fire paint seal had been opened, obviously old letters that he had read. Song Xingtian took out the letters in the envelope one by one, and read each one carefully, Prince Zhong, King Jing, and King Kang looked at their noses and noses, and their noses looked at their hearts, on the surface they were silent, but they were very proud in their hearts, seeing that the plan was about to succeed, Wen Liren and Song Xinghai would be charged with rebellion, and they would never be able to turn over. Wouldn't it be nice to get rid of the two thorns in the eye at once, and let the Holy Emperor lose his right hand?
"This is just an ordinary letter exchanged between Wen Cifu and his close friends, and it does not involve any collaboration with the enemy, what kind of evidence is this?" Prince Zhong and the other three were immersed in a sweet dream, but Song Xingtian's words were like pouring a basin of cold water on their heads, completely dousing them!
"What?" Song Xingyun exclaimed and said, "How is this possible?"
Wen Liren smiled and said, "How is this impossible? Could it be that King Kang had seen this brocade box beforehand, and knew what was in the brocade box?"
Song Xingyun only felt that he had lost his composure, otherwise, with his caution, how could he be caught by Wen Liren again and again with his sore feet? He calmed down for a moment, the smile returned to his face, and he arched his hand: "Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, can my brother consult these letters?"
He was worried that Song Xingtian would protect his right-hand man, so he pointed to the deer as a horse and deliberately said that these letters were ordinary letters. Although it is quite disrespectful to ask for letters from the Holy Emperor, does this not make it clear to tell everyone that you do not believe in the Holy Emperor, but he is a confidant of Prince Zhong, and it is already an open secret that Prince Zhong and the Holy Emperor are incompatible, and he does not care about maintaining those superficial hypocrisy and politeness.
Song Xingtian didn't care, so he handed the brocade box to the inner attendant, and then the inner attendant handed it to Song Xingyun.
Song Xingyun looked at those envelopes, and his heart was groaning. As soon as he saw the envelopes, he knew that these letters had been dropped and were no longer things he had placed with his own hands.
With the last bit of luck, he checked the contents of the letters. I found out that it was really Wen Liren's correspondence with his close friend and protégé, and the content of the letter was not politically involved at all, and it was all about the ups and downs between scholars. The more Song Xingyun looked at it, the more frightened he became, and when he finished reading the last letter, he was already half cold.
This is a trap! With Song Xingyun's shrewdness, he immediately realized this problem. The other party must have seen through their strategy, and will plan it, he is sure that the other party still has a very powerful back, but he doesn't know how they are going to fight back for a while!
Just when Song Xingyun's mind was racing and thinking about countermeasures, the guards and knights who went to search in the mansion of Huang Tingxuan, the first assistant of the cabinet, also returned.
King Kang was shocked to find that the golden-feathered knight at the head was holding a red brocade box in his hand, and this brocade box was exactly the same as the brocade box found in Wen Liren's mansion!
What's going on? How could there be such a brocade box in Huang Tingxuan's mansion? King Kang stared at the brocade box in the Golden Feather Knight's hand suspiciously, completely unable to figure out what the situation was, and was a little confused for a while.
Huang Tingxuan, the first assistant of the cabinet, looked at the red brocade box held by the Golden Feather Knight in a daze, and was also a little stunned.
In his memory, this brocade box was definitely not something in his house. At this moment, he watched the Golden Feather Knight search out something he had never seen before from his home, although he was not sure what was inside, but with his political wisdom, of course, he could feel that it must be extremely unfavorable evidence for him!
Although he didn't know the specific plan of King Kang and others, the matter was already clear: King Kang wanted to take the opportunity to frame Wen Cifu, but somehow he was seen through by his opponent, and he planned to take the plan and took them instead. The worst thing is that he may be the number one target of the opponent's counterattack!
Thinking of this, Huang Shoufu's face was even whiter than the wall, and his hands shrunk in the sleeves of his robe trembled like chaff!
What Huang Tingxuan can think of, King Kang can naturally think of. He was only stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted: It's broken!
When things are abnormal, there must be demons. Among the three princes, Song Xingyun is the best at intrigue and trickery. With his wisdom, if he still can't see that there is a problem at this level, then he is not the "poisonous snake Lao Jiu" that everyone is afraid of.
When the Golden Feather Knight came out with a red brocade box, and then looked at Huang Tingxuan's face, King Kang was a little stunned and his heart was like a mirror. He knew that this brocade box was definitely not a thing of the Yellow Mansion, and he also knew that Wen Cifu must have had insight into their strategy in advance! This realization made King Kang's heart tremble, because the stakes were very high, so the secrecy of this matter was very good, only Prince Zhong, King Jing and himself knew, and the three of them naturally would not leak the secret, in this case, how did Wen Liren know?
Who else? Who else knows? King Kang's mind was spinning in circles...... He remembered that once when he was discussing strategies with King Jing in the study, his son Song Qingshan came in, and asked them what they were discussing, Song Xingyun has always trusted his son, because Song Qingshan and him were almost carved out of the same template, he was extremely cunning and cautious, knew the importance of things, and would never reveal secrets. So he told his son about his plan.
It should be him! King Kang and King Jing, who wanted to understand this level, Prince Zhong looked at each other, and found that the eyes of the two brothers were full of doubts, and they also felt that something was wrong, but because the whole plan was arranged by King Kang, they were not very clear about the details, and they didn't know if the fact that there was a brocade box hidden in Huang Tingxuan's mansion was also a means for Lao Jiu to cover up people's ears?
But when the two brothers and Song Xingyun looked at each other, they immediately knew that it was bad!
With their understanding of Lao Jiu, if it weren't for the urgency of the matter, he would definitely not be so panicked in his eyes!
Prince Zhong raised his head and stared at Song Xingtian's face, he wanted to catch some clues from the expression of the Holy Emperor. At this point, Prince Zhong naturally understood that their strategy had been recognized, and the other party played a beautiful hand of "planning and planning". What Prince Zhong didn't know was whether the Holy Emperor had participated in the other party's counterattack plan.
But Song Xingtian's expression was not shocked, there was nothing unusual in the slightest, and Prince Zhong's eyes were sharp, and he couldn't see any information. He muttered hatefully in his heart: Old fox!
Prince Zhong couldn't get the information he wanted from the Holy Emperor's face, and immediately turned to King Kang, Song Xingyun was the best at figuring out Prince Zhong's intentions, and as soon as he saw his expression, he knew that he was urging himself to solve this problem as soon as possible!
Song Xingyun couldn't help but burst out a sentence of the Holy Lion Empire's national scolding in his heart, seeing that the stolen goods had been obtained, how could he solve it in front of everyone's eyes?
But he knew too well the methods of Prince Zhong, this man seemed to be kind and kind-eyed, and no one could be offended, but in fact he was more ruthless than anyone else. Don't look at the fact that he is favored in front of Prince Zhong now, if this matter is messed up, causing the forces of Prince Zhong and his family to suffer, or endangering his position, Song Xingyun may face unprecedented severe punishment.
So Song Xingyun had to solve this problem. Seeing that the golden-feathered knight holding the brocade box was getting closer and closer to the dragon chariot, King Kang's mind spun in circles quickly. Although he didn't know what was in the brocade box, it was at least very unfavorable evidence to Huang Tingxuan, and maybe other people would be implicated, so this brocade box was the key to solving the problem!
If you can snatch the brocade box from the Golden Feather Knight, without evidence, everything will return to square one.
Seeing that the golden-feathered knight was already very close to Long Yuan, King Kang gritted his teeth and made a gesture to the two black-clothed guards with knives in the crowd that only they could understand, and gave the order to "snatch the brocade box"!
The three princes have their own guards around them, and these two guards are dead soldiers raised by King Kang, just to come in handy in today's situation!
Seeing the gesture of the master, the two black-clothed guards rose into the sky, flying in the air like falcons that have found their prey, and swooped towards the golden-feathered knight holding the brocade box!
