Chapter 500: The restaurant was framed
Li Xian seemed to have a lot of trust in Wei Shifang, and immediately nodded: "That's fine, just according to what the old immortal chief said!" ”
Su Gui and Li Xiu thought that these two were singing and drinking, so they glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths were filled with meaningful smiles.
The largest restaurant in Yangzhou is the Guiren Restaurant in Renshoufang.
At the beginning, Cui Geng was blackmailed by Lijingmen in front of Quy Nhon Restaurant, and it was all thanks to Cui Xiufang to relieve the siege, so there was no big ugly. Now that he is revisiting the old place, thinking about the beautiful woman who doesn't know where he is, he is stunned and embarrassed.
Wei Shifang tugged at his sleeve and said in a low voice, "Cui Shushu seems to have something in mind?" ”
After seeing Wei Shifang's many miracles, Cui Geng no longer regarded him as an ordinary old liar, and said quite politely: "Well, there is Lao Lao Immortal who is concerned." It's just a personal matter. ”
"Oh, the old man won't ask about private matters. But today, you have to be vigilant, I'm afraid that there is no good wine, and there is no good feast! ”
"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”
"Old man Su doesn't care what is going on behind his back, on the surface, he has always been honest and honest, and today he has a flying dragon banquet with great fanfare, which is not like his style. In addition......"
As he spoke, Wei Shifang raised his chin and said, "That person has invested so much, he should also close the net, right?" ”
"You say he'...... Is it good to collude with Su Gui? Cui Geng was puzzled: "The two of them have never intersected, how can they get together?" ”
"Poor Dao can't think clearly, but this matter, eight or nine is not far from ten, let's prepare early!
"In this way, there will be Lao Lao Immortal."
……
……
Quy Nhon Restaurant is a restaurant in front of it, and an inn in the back, which has been chartered by the Yangzhou government at this time.
Cui Geng and the others rested in the inn for a while, relieved the fatigue of the journey, and then refreshed their spirits and went to the third floor of the restaurant for a banquet.
Greeted here, not only the large and small officials of Yangzhou City, but also the rich families with heads and faces in the city, as well as the local elderly, it is really lively.
Li Xian came with several children, as well as Cui Geng, Wei Shifang, Wei Xiao, Feng Changqing, Lu Zangyong and others, which can be regarded as very face-saving.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Li Xiu glanced slightly, Su Gui coughed lightly, and said: "When Cui Shu was appointed as the commander of Jiangdu County, he not only redressed the grievances and made the heavens rain, but also presided over the construction of Yangzhou Luocheng, which is really meritorious in the present and beneficial in the future!" Come, let's raise a glass and pay tribute to Cui's writings! ”
"Cui, please!"
Cui Geng has a very high reputation in Yangzhou, and people do not doubt him, and they have raised their glasses to congratulate, that is, Li Xian, the king of Luling, all raised their wine glasses playfully.
The crowd drank it all.
Then, Su Gui said: "The green mountains are hidden in the water, and the grass and trees in the south of the Yangtze River are withered in autumn. On the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where does the jade teach to blow ~ flute. Cui wrote this poem, which has never been published before, and adds a lot of color to Yangzhou City! Come, let's toast Cui's book again. ”
And the people drank again,
Su Gui continued: "There is also Cui Shushu to solve the case of the disappearance of children, which is really benevolent and righteous, sacrificing himself for others. The old man is ashamed of himself, and I respect Cui's writings again! ”
……
To put it simply, Su Gui can really speak in the vernacular, and constantly find reasons to let everyone toast Cui Geng. At the beginning, people responded one after another, and Cui Geng also actively cooperated.
However, after drinking five or six cups, everyone realized that something was wrong: Is this old man Su old and confused? Li Xian is the protagonist today, what's the matter with always toasting Cui Erlang?
Cui Geng interrupted: "Today is the Flying Dragon Banquet, to celebrate the King of Luling's escape from the great calamity, and the Flying Dragon is in the sky." Why don't you give a cup to King Luling together? ”
Su Gui shook his head slightly, and said, "Of course, the wine to respect the King of Luling is to be respected, but everyone has already paid tribute to the King of Luling together just now." Cui Shushu was ordered by His Majesty to welcome back the King of Luling this time, which can be called a promising future. Why don't you give King Luling a cup alone first? ”
At the banquet, isn't it not that in addition to everyone toasting together, it is a toast alone? This suggestion doesn't seem to be wrong either.
Cui Geng stretched out his hand, went to take the wine jar on the table, and prepared to fill the wine glass in front of him. But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he found that the wine jar was very light, and it seemed that someone had poured a trickle of water.
Su Gui said: "The wine jar of Cui's book is out of wine? Come on, and bring another jar of good magnolia spring. ”
"Yes!"
The guy at the Quy Nhon Inn answered and brought a new jar of wine, which was sealed in mud.
Syllable!
Cui Geng slapped the mud seal open, poured out a glass of wine, and said, "Lord Wang, Weichen respects you a glass!" ”
Li Xian, the king of Luling, was about to raise a glass, but found that his cup was also empty.
Su Gui swallowed nervously and spit, and said, "Speaking of which, this is also the will of heaven, to fulfill a good story between Cui's writings and the kings and ministers of Luling." Why don't you just drink a jar of wine together? This is why the monarch and the minister are intimate. ”
King Luling nodded: "This is very good! ”
"Lord, I'll pour you wine!" Just when the guy at the Quy Nhon Inn was about to step forward with the jar of wine, Lu Zangyong, who had been silently in the corner, spoke.
He ran forward in a hurry, stretched out the sleeves of his robe, took over the wine jar, and poured the wine in the cup in front of Li Xian!
"Phew! What hermit? It's clearly a sycophant. Seeing this, many people scolded secretly.
King Luling bowed slightly, "Thank you, Mr. Lu...... Come, Cui Shushu, let's drink this cup full. The lonely king did it first for respect! ”
Without waiting for Cui Geng to answer, he had already drunk the wine!
"Ahhh~~"
Suddenly, King Luling screamed and fell to the ground!
"Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Cui Geng's complexion changed greatly, he screamed, rushed forward, stretched out his hand to probe the snort of King Luling, and then shouted: "The prince has died!" Catch, catch the assassins! ”
Succeed with flying colors!
Although this plan was not complicated, Li Xiu was relieved that it could be realized so smoothly.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with that jar of wine at all, and what really went wrong was the wine glass used by King Luling today.
Just now, while people were toasting Cui Geng one after another, and the scene was chaotic, one of his right-hand men had already changed the wine glass of King Luling.
The rim of this new wine glass is stained with the special poison of the secret hall, but if you eat a little, you will definitely die!
"Haha, good you Cui Geng Cui Erlang!"
Li Xiu shouted, rushed forward, and said, "You really ate your ambition and swallowed the leopard's gall, and you dared to assassinate the King of Luling!" Quick, get him! ”
To Li Xiu's surprise, Cui Geng was not so panicked, and said in a deep voice: "The surname is Li, the official has already seen it, and you have an opinion on me." But I'm curious, I'm the same person with five surnames and seven hopes, why don't you expect the official to order a good order, and insist that I am an assassin? ”
"Is it because I belong to the same five surnames and seven hopes, I want to protect you??" Li Xiu thought that the arrangement was seamless, and said solemnly: "The mud seal of the wine jar was opened by you, not by you, but by whom?" The king of Luling has the hope of the world, and you actually stabbed him to death in a frenzy, which is really the anger of people and gods, and the crime cannot be punished! ”
Su Gui also said on the side: "Even if the poison of this wine was ordered before, that wine is also Mulan Spring Wine, and it has nothing to do with you Cui Geng and Cui Erlang!" ”
Immediately, he waved his hand and said, "Someone! Give the official Cui Geng to take it down! ”
"Whoa!"
The armor soldier who had already been arranged outside the door answered, and he was about to rush in to get someone.
Li Xiu even arranged a few "righteous indignant" people to tie Cui Geng up and split his body into pieces.
He was really happy and beautiful at this time, and secretly thought, King Luling is just that, after all, even if he returns to Luoyang to become the prince, if he wants to pose a threat to me, it will have to be many years later. But Cui Geng is going to compete with me for the master of the secret hall, and the threat is right in front of me! Now it's finally time to solve this big problem!
However, it turned out that he was still happy too soon.
"Wait." Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "How do I think that the real assassin is not Cui Shu?" Su Changshi, it's better not to be impulsive! ”
"Who dares to speak for Cui Geng, a rebellious minister and thief? Belch...... It's you! ”
Su Gui was furious at first, but as soon as he saw someone coming, his momentum immediately disappeared. It turned out that it was none other than someone else who spoke, it was Li Chongrun, the eldest son of Li Xian, the king of Luling.
Now that Li Xian is dead, if you want to talk about the branch that can represent Li Xian, it must be this son!
To put it more seriously, Li Xian is dead, in fact, Wu Zetian does not necessarily have to let Wu Sansi and Li Dan inherit his throne.
You must know that on the day of Li Chongrun's full moon, Gaozong Li Zhi was very happy, granted amnesty to the world, changed the year name to Yongchun, and a month later, directly issued an order to establish Li Chongrun as the emperor's grandson.
Legally speaking, Li Chongrun inherited the throne, and even more justifiably than Wu Sansi and Li Dan!
Li Chongrun, the biggest sufferer, had no opinion, and in front of everyone's eyes, Su Gui couldn't move at this time, so he had to say: "Chongrun Little Prince, don't be deceived by Cui Geng." Think about it, he is not a murderer, who is a murderer? ”
"Then I can't figure it out," Li Chongrun said: "Cui Shushu went through all kinds of hardships and dangers in order to take his father out of Fangzhou. If he wanted to be unfavorable to his father, wouldn't he just be derelict in his duties? ”
"Uh...... Maybe he was suddenly stimulated by something and changed his mind? ”
"Even if Cui Shushu changes his mind, there is still a problem that cannot be explained." Li Chongrun said: "Cui Shushu is a rare smart person in the world, and he can think of a special way to kill his father unknowingly." Why did he do it in public? ”
"The little prince is right!"
"This is really strange!"
"Cui Shushu has no reason to harm King Luling at all!"
……
After Li Chongrun's questioning, the officials of Quy Nhon Restaurant looked at each other, and public opinion began to favor Cui Geng's side.
Li Xiu actually knew that there were quite a big loophole in his plan, otherwise he would not be ready to directly hack Cui Geng to death, and there would be no proof of his death. ,
At this moment, he secretly thought in his heart, the tiger father has no dog, this Li Chongrun is really not simple! However, fortunately, the road is one foot high and the magic is one foot high, and I still have a trick for my son!
Li Xiu said loudly: "Everyone, listen to what Li said, I have definite evidence to prove that Cui Geng is indeed a murderer!" ”
