The emperor said that he was ill for several days, and the early Dynasty was deserted, accumulating a lot of important or unimportant affairs that could not be dealt with.
The emperor, who was happy to play the role of a virtuous monarch, was very upset, but he was worried that he would face a lot of memorials related to bu Qingyi, and he was always in the dilemma of riding a tiger. Indeed, as he expected, Su muzhe, king of Guangling, would have been more upset if he hadn't been stopped outside the bedroom by Zhou Shaojian again and again.
Just when the emperor could hardly bear it, Pei Zan, as one of the few courtiers who were allowed to meet at any time, brought a piece of news that was neither good nor bad.
"The death of King Yong is only related to bu Qingyi."
The sad news of the fourth son's death had already spread to the emperor. He was a close relative. He said it was impossible not to be sad, but he could not afford to be ill. After all, his son could not count his hands.
Pei Zan's words didn't make the emperor smile, on the contrary, they were more ironic: "is it because of Bu Qingyi or you? Pei Zan, don't think I don't know anything about the outside world when I'm in the palace. Do you think I'm a fool? "
This is the fourth day of King Yong's killing. A group of soldiers testify that the farce of King Yong's being killed by Bu Qingyi has passed. The discussion of these two days is lively. It's the rumor that someone bribed these soldiers to deliberately plant the blame on Bu Qingyi.
It was su Muzha, the king of Guangling, who had been rejected by the emperor several times. On the night that Mogui took two soldiers to find him to clarify the truth, Su Muzha went to the palace overnight to try to explain to the emperor that after being rejected again and again, Su Muzha chose an amazing way to make everyone pay attention to it.
Tang Tang, the king of Guangling, went to Dali Temple early in the morning to beat the drum.
With the efforts of Su Muzhi, from the emperor to the common people, everyone soon knew that the death of King Yong was complicated and complicated, and in the nature of not pickling to the end, they thoroughly investigated the cause and effect of the matter.
Since it's a hot topic, Pei Zan has heard about it. He bowed more humbly, and his tone was sincere: "I've heard those rumors, too. It's despicable..."
"Do you mean that someone deliberately planted Bu Qingyi in a despicable way? Or is it despicable for someone to find out that it has something to do with you? " The emperor was very angry and sneered. He thumped on the bed table with a thump, "Pei Zan, Pei Zan, I thought you were a careful person, and you would do everything without leaking. I didn't expect you to be so confused! It's easy to be found out. The man who went to King Yong's mansion to bribe the soldiers and planted Bu Qingyi is your man
Pei Zan's body trembled with the loud noise, his knees softened, and he knelt down on the ground: "holy insight! This is really not what I did! Lu Guoguang is the man who went to bribe the soldiers of King Yong's mansion. He was indeed under Wei Chen's hand before, but he defected a few days ago and no longer contacted Wei Chen! Up to now, I'm looking for his whereabouts, and I'm counting on him to clean me up! "
Pei Zan did not lie about it.
In fact, when Bu Qingyi broke into his secret residence, he had already realized that Lu Guoguang might have betrayed him. However, he never thought that Lu Guoguang, who fled from him because of fear, did not disappear completely. Instead, he put him together at the critical moment and, relying on his identity as a subordinate, put a big hat on his head.
Lu Guoguang killed two birds with one stone and planted two people at the same time. The ingenious design is amazing.
Pei Zan is sure that such a "good" idea is definitely not the common Lu Guoguang's idea. There must be other experts behind him to give advice.
Pei Zan had some speculation about this expert.
"What's the use of saying so much? Even if I believe you, can anyone believe you? Will bu Qingyi believe you? " The emperor's face was gloomy, but he didn't seem to have much doubt about Pei Zan. He knew Pei Zan's means well, and knew that if Pei Zan really ordered it, it would not be caught.
The question is, if Pei Zan didn't do it, who used Pei Zan's men to kill two birds with one stone?
The emperor's eyes were a little more complicated. He stared at Pei Zan tightly, as if trying to find some answer from his expression.
"Pei Zan, what can you hide from me?" Finally, the emperor asked many questions.
Pei Zan's breath stagnated in his chest. For a moment, he almost blurted out to tell the emperor Gu rongsu about his existence. On the one hand, the emperor had extremely complex feelings for Gu's family. No matter whether Gu rongsu was related to Gu Chaoxi or not, his cooperation with him might arouse the emperor's suspicion. On the other hand, he really couldn't find anyone else to conspire with except Gu rongsu.
"When I return to the holy place, I don't have anything to hide from the holy place, but recently I've had a lot of trifles, tired physically and mentally, and often feel absent-minded."
Such a perfunctory answer was not believed by the emperor. However, the Emperor didn't plan to force him too much. After all, there were few people who knew Bu Qingyi's roots, and Pei Zan was the best tool. Just look at Pei Zan's current situation. If you don't help him, I'm afraid he will be doomed in Bu Qingyi's hands soon."It's impossible to put off the murder of King Yong indefinitely. Tomorrow I'll leave the case to Dali temple to deal with as soon as possible, so that Bu Qingyi and King Guangling won't have trouble. As for the murderer... " After a little pondering, the emperor glanced at Pei Zan coldly, "no matter whether your betrayal man is alive or dead, let him bear the charge. If he's dead, it's better to die without proof. If he's not dead You should know what to do. "
Pei Zan nodded nervously and said: "but bu Qingyi Just let her go? "
"You only have Bu Qingyi in your eyes. Can't you see anything more urgent than dealing with her?"
The emperor's weathered eyes dimmed a little, and immediately regained their deep luster. When he spoke again, the emperor was still the stable monarch, and his words were numb to almost no emotion.
"I don't think Bu Qingyi was the murderer who hurt King Yong. The assassination of king an and King Wei should have nothing to do with her. However, there must be causes and consequences. Now I have to find out who is killing my son and what is it for? "
Pei Zan thought about it with a low brow and said in a low voice: "Weichen doesn't want to take advantage of the opportunity to take revenge. It's just that no matter how he thinks about it, it has a lot to do with Bu Qingyi."
"How do you say that?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly.
Take a deep breath, Pei Zan told us what he had said.
"Just imagine, King Yong, king an and King Wei, if these three people have an accident one after another, who is the most beneficial? No profit, no time to get up early, but it must be someone who has a great interest to assassinate the three princes
The emperor nodded softly subconsciously: "I've thought about it too. The most important thing is the prince and King Jin. The crown prince has been succeeding the crown prince for many years. If he wanted to kill him, he would have done so long ago. There's no need to wait until now. Besides, he doesn't look like a man with that brain. If it's King Jin, it's not right. After all, King Jin's whereabouts are still unknown. It's hard to say whether he is dead or alive. "
It's a pity that the crown prince is simple minded and has no strong body. He has always been superior but hard to convince the public. There are calls to change the crown prince from time to time in both the former and the latter dynasties. But if the prince, who can't understand even the simplest tactics, has the courage to sabotage and remove obstacles, and plans such a complex situation, he won't be treated as a waste.
Seeing the emperor's puzzled expression, he accompanied him to give his own opinion: "here's the problem. King Jin's whereabouts are still unknown. No one knows whether he is alive or dead. If King Jin, like King Yong and others, is really removed as an obstacle, why should the assassins take great pains to hide the news that King Jin is dead? But what if King Jin just hid in the dark and didn't make a sound? Did the emperor ever wonder why the missing man was king Jin, and why Bu Qingyi wanted to sneak into King Yong's mansion? Is all this really just a coincidence? "
Nothing can arouse the suspicion of the suspicious emperor more than a few seemingly subtle questions.
Yes, Lu Jingyi has been missing for some time. No matter how we check him, we can't find out whether he is alive or dead. Is this normal? Is the so-called disappearance a prisoner or a play he arranged for himself?
Bu Qingyi returns to the capital city at the top of the storm and visits King Yong's residence at night for the sake of some unknown civilians? Should it be explained by coincidence that King Yong was killed that night?
Pei Zan's question successfully made the emperor suspicious.
At this time, another amazing news quickly spread all over the streets, all the way to the emperor.
Lu Jingyi found it.
It's safe.
For most of the people living in the imperial capital, it is undoubtedly great news that the king of Jin, who is in the heart of the world, can return safely after his long disappearance. When Bu Qingyi and Mo GUI learned from Feng Qi, they were also happy and relieved. But for them, it was not as simple as it was for most people.
"Who had imprisoned him and what was the purpose? Did king Jin himself not know?"
"He has been locked up in a house that has not been settled for a long time. All the doors and windows of the room have been sealed, and it is dark and dark. In addition to the food delivery, few people get close to him, and he can hardly find any clues in it." Feng Qi said, "when I found him, he kept asking me where it was and what happened. It seems that it's impossible to get any news from King Jin."
Bu Qingyi was slightly disappointed, and had that kind of ominous premonition.
Things that are difficult to explain often show the taste of conspiracy.
"By the way, do you want to see King Jin?" Feng Qi glanced at Mo GUI intentionally or unintentionally and said to bu Qingyi, "although there is no scar on King Jin, he is exhausted because of the long time of binding and struggling. Even so, he's still calling your name, even when he's asleep. I think if he wakes up and sees you first, he will be very happy
