Volume 9 Chapter 53 Reappear in the Immortal Bureau
In the forest, Mo Wu'an and Peach Blossom looked at the sobbing Ling Yu in the tree hole, and their hearts were very uncomfortable.
Mo Wu'an grabbed her hair with both hands, thinking desperately, but she didn't know which ring was wrong. If it wasn't the news of Ying Ai, who would it be? Zero Feather won't lie, Mo Wu'an is convinced, after all, he knows Zero Feather well.
Peach Blossom said to Mo Wu'an: "You are really a person, and you can't tell who sent you the news." My sister is right, if it was really Princess Ying Ai's message to you, why did she appear in Xianyang School Palace on that day? You were crazy at that time, even if you weren't crazy, where would you have so many scruples about killing red-eyed? No matter how stupid a person is, he can't kill himself. ”
Mo Wu'an, who had been thinking about it for a long time, suddenly showed a panicked expression and said, "That's not right, I remembered, that day the blood stained the blood demon finger, with my strength, it is impossible to go crazy so fast." And what did I do? I went on a killing spree in the Zongren Mansion, and there were more than a dozen royal family members who died in my hands, even if the battle for the throne failed, it was just a ploy that was not as good as winning the government, how could I do fratricidal things again? ”
"Now that I have learned the complete Blood Demon Technique, I have even more doubts about the state of that day. A person, infected with blood demon qi, wants to go crazy It takes time, and it must extend from the meridians to the head in order to cause madness. The bloodstained brother is on par with me, and although that finger hurts me a lot, it can't make me go crazy like that. Even if I wanted to kill someone, I wouldn't be able to kill my blood relatives, but my irritable state that day was too suspicious. ”
Peach Blossom asked, "What do you recall?" ”
Mo Wu'an tried hard to remember for a long time, and at a certain moment, he was sweating and sweating profusely, his hands were deeply grasped into the soil, and he was afraid: "It's terrible, why should Shang Gong harm me?" That morning, he must have added something to my diet that kept me asleep. Otherwise, Mrs. Zhao Ji's Luan drove to the gate of the Zongren Mansion, how could I not feel it at all? It wasn't until Vientiane Cloud used internal force to announce Zhao Ji's decree that I woke up. ”
"I've always been cautious, how can I sleep peacefully in the Zongren Mansion surrounded by enemies? But this is not right, it is impossible for Shang Gong to know that Zhao Ji is coming, and even if he harms me, it will not be good for him. ”
Peach Blossom asked again, "What else do you remember?" ”
Mo Wu'an raised his nervous face and said, "There is one more terrifying thing, on the road of the School Palace, in addition to Xiao Ai and Liji, there are also all the underage children of my royal family. Who designed that path? The children are on that road, don't the people in the school palace know? Why not evacuate them in advance? ”
Peach Blossom's face showed a look of fear, and Zero Feather in the tree hole suddenly stopped sobbing, and shook his head desperately: "Wrong, wrong, this is clearly a fairy bureau." If the people who hunted the fast camp went to investigate, they would definitely be able to follow this clue and find her. But I'm telling you, the battle of the school palace can't be planned by her, because her own children are also in it. ”
"I can't cry anymore, I have to heal my injuries as soon as possible, and at least I have to attend today's lunch at Huayang Palace. I can't say who she is. But I want to tell you that we should take a long-term view, and this matter can be traced back to the assassination of the first king Yingzi Chu in the Zongmiao. ”
"The assassination of the first king, that was the immortal bureau directed by him, but is that all? At least Ji Shang's appearance was beyond the expectations of the previous king. That is, in addition to her, there must be another careerist involved. Since you want to die, then let you die, and let Daqin's regime be unstable in order to obtain greater benefits. ”
"Coupled with the battle of Zhong Dian, the same assassination method, the last time I killed Sister Lin Ye, this time it was me. She's a smart person, and it's impossible to use the same trick twice. What's more, this trip was an idea that I came up with on a temporary basis, knowing that I was luring her to show her flaws, how could she create the same method to kill me again? And I know her current situation better, she has no chance to arrange all this, and the other careerist doesn't know the history of the Qin Palace at all. ”
"If I don't give a hint, Brother Zheng will definitely make a wrong judgment. And to investigate everything clearly, she can only be asked to investigate, and only she can know who was involved back then. ”
Peach Blossom and Mo Wu'an asked in unison, "Who is she?" ”
Zero Feather in the tree hole closed his eyes, meditated cross-legged, and tried to mobilize his internal strength to heal his wounds, without saying a word.
The two of them were very depressed, and every time they talked about who she was, Zero Feather avoided it, leaving them anxious.
In the small courtyard without a word, when he heard what Ling Yu said, he showed a cautious expression at the same time. Reproducing the Immortal Bureau, according to Zero Yu's meaning, if they check it again, they must have found the wrong person, because there is not only one person in the layout, but there are more people.
Everyone looked at Wang Heng, and Wang Heng also felt that things were getting more and more tricky, and pondered for a long time before he said: "When Wang Yingzi Chu was assassinated, I was still at home in Guigu, and I devoted myself to designing the battle of the sword mound, and I didn't have time to think about the affairs of the royal families of the countries. So how did the first king die, and what characters appeared in the ancestor worship ceremony, I can only let the Gong Ming brothers investigate. ”
"But I want to say that even if it is the Immortal Bureau, there are several people who are plotting, we can only investigate them one by one, but when we finally draw conclusions, we must judge carefully. As long as there is doubt, you cannot blindly decide. ”
Gong Ming nodded and said: "That's right, we only look at conclusive evidence, and we must not make judgments if there is no empirical evidence." ”
Wang Hengyan said: "So no matter how much Ling Yu says, we still need to continue to investigate the things that should be investigated." We just have to investigate the case, no matter what is found, naturally the king will think about how to punish it. ”
Ying Zheng also nodded and said: "That's it, the fast arrest camp only has the function of investigating the case, and has no power to dispose of it." Wang Heng, since my mother has spoken, then Ganquan Palace is also for you to check, at least find out a general direction, so that we can know it in our hearts. ”
Pacing left and right, he said as he walked: "May I ask the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, did you come up with the idea of depriving Mo Wu'an of the royal status, or did someone behind it give you a strategy?" ”
Through Zhao Cui's mouth, Zhao Ji replied: "It was my family Geerdan who offered the plan, and he was my righteous son, so I sent Luan Jia on that day to go to the Zongren Mansion to pass the order." ”
Wang Heng asked again: "In this process, do the three of Nei Shiyi, Vientiane Cloud, and Bloodstained know that the royal family is blocked in front of the school palace?" ”
Zhao Ji replied: "Don't say they don't know, even the mourning family doesn't know that Grandpa Yingpi will go, fortunately, my family understands the priority of the matter and doesn't dare to step into Xianyang City in advance." Otherwise, it will be a disaster, and it will be difficult for me Ganquan Palace not to take the blame. ”
Wang Heng asked again: "When Geldan offered advice to the Queen Mother, who else participated besides you?" Or is there anyone else listening? ”
This question is just right, this strategy, Zhao Ji can't think of it alone. And for those who have been to Yongcheng, many people know Geerdan, who is more than brave and can plan such a plan, it is impossible.
Zhao Ji sighed: "It is worthy of being a master of playing tricks, you guessed it, when Geldan offered advice that day, in addition to me, there was another person in Ganquan Palace who participated, and that was Anu who protected me." Anu is the person I trust the most, I have known him since I was a child, and he is also a retainer of Zichu. The mourning family will only tell you one word, Anu will not harm me, let alone Zheng'er, all doubts about Anu's loyalty, the mourning family will not admit it, do you understand? ”
Wang Heng nodded and said, "I understand, since Anu is the Queen Mother's most trusted person, I won't ask more." But Geerdan, I have to ask, and ask the Queen Mother to give it a convenience, otherwise I won't be able to check it at all. What's more, I still know that the Queen Mother has the intention to delegate power, but who will hand over the power of Ganquan Palace is still under consideration. ”
"This power is too great, even if it is handed over to the king, the king will not have time to pass. There must be a lot of people who covet that position, so the people selected are not only trusted by the king, but also trusted by the queen mother, and only those who are trusted by both of you are the most suitable. There must be a secret struggle around the ownership of the power of Ganquan Palace, so the trusted relatives around the Queen Mother cannot have any problems. ”
"Anu, I don't have to ask, after all, it is the queen mother's retainer, and there are no conditions for taking over the power at all. But those righteous sons and daughters of yours are the most suitable people, and it is difficult for me not to ask. When this is over, I will go to Ganquan Palace to meet the Queen Mother in person, and be sure to inspect them. That is for later, but at this time I must give an account to the king and to all men, and Gerdan must answer my words. ”
"Again, it's better for Geldan not to lie, because I will go to Ganquan Palace to investigate, as long as I make many secret visits, I will know if you are lying."
In Ganquan Palace, Zhao Ji sat on the throne and said heavily: "You all heard it? From now on, all the family members will be grounded until Wang Heng comes to investigate, and then talk about other things. During this period, all the military power of Yongcheng was recovered, and the mourning family was fully controlled. ”
"Xiao Dan, you just answer Wang Heng's question honestly, don't lie. You can discuss the division of power with Ying Hao behind my back, I can not see it in front of me, but now in front of Zheng'er, if you dare to say a lie, it is estimated that my mother will really not be able to keep it. Because the two queen mothers were also listening. ”
Zhao Ji is not a stupid person, since Wang Heng said that, he must be connected with something. The case of creating the Xue Palace is nothing more than the military power of Ganquan Palace, and when the heirs of the royal family are dead, who else can this power be handed over? Naturally, it is for Zhao Ji's righteous sons and daughters.
The people below were all terrified when they heard it, they didn't know why Zhao Ji suspected Geerdan, but they all understood what Wang Heng said. Whenever military power is involved, they will be implicated, and some even have the intention of currying favor with Wang Heng.
The person who can stand in the Ganquan Palace, in this position, no one is clean. Even Zhao Ji has people like Anu, not to mention them, they are all learning from each other, and they are doing a lot of things behind their backs.
Wang Heng asked: "Geerdan, please tell me, who did Empress Dowager Zhao Ji deprive Mo Wu'an of his royal status back then?" ”
Geldan didn't know the seriousness of the matter, and when he heard this question, he said directly: "That's what Changxin Hou asked me to say, and he said this method in order to please his mother. The reason why I said it was to make me feel grateful, he had already been treated coldly by his mother at that time, so he naturally didn't dare to go to Ganquan Palace. ”
Wang Heng was stunned for a moment, and said: "It's actually Chang Yu, but he is dead, and there is no proof of death, how do I know if what you said is the truth or a lie?" ”
Not only Wang Heng was suspicious, but Ying Zheng, Zhao Ji, Mrs. Huayang and others were all suspicious of Geerdan. You just talk about a staff, everyone will not have any doubts, and when Wang Heng personally goes over to check in the future, he will naturally know the truth of the matter. But the one you're talking about now is a dead person, even if Wang Heng goes over, how can he check?
Geldan hurriedly said: "It was Chang Yu who told me, how could I lie in front of my mother?" If I wanted to lie, I could just say a subordinate who would do something for me, but I wouldn't dare lie to my mother and the king. ”
Wang Heng shook his head and said: "This explanation doesn't work, then I'll ask you again, when Chang Yu and you made plans, did anyone else participate?" ”
"No," replied, "no one knows about it but me and him." If we want to please our mother, how can we let the other brothers know? ”
Wang Heng asked again: "Then you tell me, when Chang Yu rebelled, you were obviously sent by him to the vicinity of Xianyang to cover for him, why did you go near the Qin family's ranch and you didn't move?" ”
Geldan said as a matter of course: "Chang Yu was very good to me when he was alive, and he will listen to the orders given to me, but no matter how high his status is, how can what my princess say work?" The princess once told me that the combat power of the Yiqu soldiers could not defeat the soldiers of the ranch at all, and if I asked me to contain the soldiers of the ranch, it would simply send me to death, and I naturally would not listen. But he was afraid of offending people, so he went to a certain place, stood still, and watched the development of the situation. ”
Wang Heng then asked: "What does it mean to be immobile, but also what your princess means?" ”
"That's nature," replied Gerdan. ”
Wang Heng finally asked, "Who is your princess?" ”
Geldan said, "Princess Yiqu, Orchid. ”
Hearing this name, everyone looked at each other, and Wang Heng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, because he thought of many things. Not only Wang Heng, but Ying Zheng, Zhao Ji and others were also dumbfounded, because they all thought of a possibility, could it be that the murderer behind the scenes was Hu Ji?
