Chapter 97 Gambling
There is no need to use a small bottle as a container to hold the essence. A piece of sheep intestine is enough. How did Guo Wei know this? He probably used it when he was young.
Old Mutou said he was disgusted, but he still took it out, put it to his nose and smelled it, "Yes, that's what's inside."
The evidence is conclusive. The eunuch had already collapsed on the ground with a pale face, and his body was shaking like chaff.
Xu Xian walked up to him and said harmoniously: "You thought that with this thing, you could be completely removed, but you didn't expect that it would be the evidence that sent you to hell. You and Lu Zhu made a poisonous oath to form an alliance against each other.
Shit, I guess your relationship is not as deep as usual.
I can probably imagine your unknown love. In this lonely palace, two helpless people met by chance and relied on each other. When you were hungry, she would steal snacks for you.
, when she gets cold, use the monthly money you save to buy her a winter coat...
One little thing after another binds you together, and no one can live without each other, so we just made a vow to never betray each other.
Originally, she could have left the palace, married, had children, and lived like an ordinary person, but she stayed in this cold palace wall for you, just to live up to the vow she made with you back then..."
Following Xu Xian's statement, the fear on Li Gongbai's face slowly dissipated and was replaced by endless sadness. There was no heart-rending howl, nor tears streaming down his face, but everyone around him could feel that he was completely despairing.
.
"...Killing your most beloved person with your own hands, I can imagine how sad and helpless you feel. Now that the matter has been revealed, Lu Zhu died in vain, don't you want to avenge her?"
Xu Xian leaned down and grabbed his collar, and asked in a stern tone: "Her evil spirit has not gone far, and she is watching you in this pavilion. Tell me who instigated you!"
Xu Xian didn't believe that a eunuch would frame a prince for no reason. If no one instigated him, he would be a fool.
As soon as he finished asking, Xu Xian felt a strong blow to his ribs. He rolled over and turned his head to see Li Chongjin put his foot back, "Hey... why did Commander Li kick me? I remembered it. Commander Li has done it before."
Are you trying to silence me for something like this?"
"Hmph, if I want to silence you, I don't have to use my feet. I don't even know what I am. It's not your turn to judge this kind of thing, let alone what you should listen to."
Li Chongjin was right. Such secrets of the palace were really not his turn as a small police chief. He stood up and cupped his hands to Guo Weiyi and said: "Your Majesty, the case has been solved. If there is nothing else, I will give you a chance."
I resigned."
Guo Wei nodded and said to Old Mutou: "Give him a badge that allows him to enter the palace at any time to see the fool."
Old Mu Tou directly took off his usual palace badge and gave it to Xu Xian, "Get out of here!"
Xu Xian couldn't hear the secrets of the palace, and the high-ranking foreign ministers Feng Dao, Li Gu, and Fan Zhi couldn't hear them, so they bid farewell to Guo Wei knowingly.
The four of them left the palace together. Li Gu and Fan Zhi went to the Yamen, and they found out that Feng Dao and Xu Xian were left.
"I knew you would come back, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon."
"I will be wanted. What is going on, the Grand Master knows best. Speaking of which, the Grand Master is also responsible for this matter. His Majesty is rich in the world and will not take a fancy to my big business of sesame seeds and mung beans."
Feng Dao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I did make a miscalculation, but it's also because of your big tree that attracts trouble. For this reason, I even went through the account books of the Ministry of Accounts, and found that the treasury's annual surplus was not as much as your business.
Officials want to pave the way for the crown prince, and they don't have to have money in their hands. The big-headed soldiers only recognize this. It's strange that you, a money tree, are hanging around under his nose all day long, and you don't care about it."
"There's nothing to say. Now I have no choice but to admit defeat!" Xu Xian pondered for a moment and said: "Grandmaster Shao is a very old man with extraordinary experience. There are some things that it wasn't my turn to remind you, but now the world is so weird, Taishi
No matter how good a teacher is, he will inevitably make mistakes..."
"You want to say King Jin?"
"Exactly!" Xu Xian lowered his voice and said, "The Grand Master seems to look down on King Jin."
Feng Dao snorted twice, as if he was extremely disdainful, "What qualifications do you think King Jin has to make me like him?"
"The King of Jin has a deep understanding of the ways of government, and the people in Chanzhou who stay open all night are happy and happy. This is all due to the King of Jin."
Feng Dao shook his head slowly, "No one cares about this. It is very difficult for Your Majesty to sit firmly on the dragon throne. The King of Jin is not of His Majesty's blood, and he has no military merit. Do you think he can rely on his official position in the future?"
Will the edict left by my family make all the jackals, tigers and leopards in the world surrender? It's just another Li Conghou or Liu Chengyou. It's a pity that I am no longer the prime minister, otherwise the edict must be passed on to someone else."
Only Feng Dao in troubled times would dare to say such a treacherous thing, after all, he had indeed done such a thing.
Before Shi Jingtang's death, he had issued a posthumous edict to be passed on to his youngest son, Chongling. Feng Dao, who was the prime minister at the time, directly passed the edict to Shi Jingtang's nephew Shi Chonggui.
But no one criticized him at that time or later. Everyone understood that Shi Jingtang's son could not secure the throne at all, and Feng Dao did nothing wrong.
"No, the Grand Master is really wrong this time. I am following the King of Jin to watch him act decisively and have a strong character. This is the sign of a hero!"
"Oh? Zhixian also has this kind of vision." Feng Dao said in a teasing tone, "Even if it is as you said, you are the only one who knows it. Do you want to make a bet with me?"
Xu Xian became interested, "What is the grand master going to bet with the lower official?"
"If His Majesty dies and the King of Jin comes to the throne, the dynasty will change again within three months. If I win, Zhixian will provide me with tea for the rest of my life. I won't live long at my old age, and it won't cost too much."
Hearing what Feng Dao said, Xu Xian couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. He naturally had no reason not to agree to this bet that was bound to win. "Well, if I win, I have something to ask for."
"Could you let me be a matchmaker for you?"
Xu Xian immediately flattered him and said, "The master is so smart!"
The most important thing for Guo Wei right now is to pave the way for his adopted son to ascend to the throne. How could he not be worried that someone had crossed paths with him on this matter?
Li Tingfang had no intention of eating the breakfast he was served. He put his forehead with his hands and looked at A Bao in a daze, but he was afraid of hearing the least expected result.
The person who instigated the eunuchs to frame Chai Rong, whether it was Li Chongjin or Zhang Yongde, was a result he could not bear, and he had not many relatives left.
Not sure if he sensed Guo Wei's worry, Abao put down the bamboo in his hand, twisted his fat body and walked to him, rubbing his head on his thigh.
Guo Wei reached out and touched Abao's head, "If any of these bastards were as sensible as you, I wouldn't have to be in such a difficult situation."
A series of familiar footsteps sounded outside the hall. Without asking, he knew that it was Old Mutou who had returned from torture. Guo Wei's heart suddenly rose again.
Old Mutou had a smile on his face, and when he saw Guo Wei, he said: "Your Majesty will never guess who instigated it."
"Stop being too pretentious and get the confession!"
