In the early morning of the second day, there was thick fog in Pizhou, and a coffin shop clerk was sweeping the floor with a broom at the door.
After cleaning the door, he was about to return to the shop. Suddenly, a person walked out of the thick fog. The clerk became alert and looked at him.
The man walked up and said loudly: "Man, order two coffins, one large and one small."
The waiter recognized the man as Fu Youde, led him into the coffin shop, closed the door, and said with a smile: "You only need to exchange words when you come here for the first time, and you won't need to do it again."
Fu Youde hummed and asked, "Is the shopkeeper up?"
The waiter nodded and took Fu Youde to Geng Si's house.
Geng Si was looking through the brochure and was slightly surprised by Fu Youde's arrival. He ordered his assistant to go out first and asked him: "Brother Fu came here early in the morning. Is there anything going on?"
Fu Youde got straight to the point: "Jia Lu is dead!"
Geng Si was slightly startled and said, "Where did you get this news?"
Fu Youde was alone, but he had better information than him, so he had to be suspicious.
Fu Youde sat down opposite Geng Si and said with a smile: "Have you ever heard of the Zhuhua Gang?"
Geng Si nodded. The Zhuhua Gang is a beggar gang in Pizhou. However, because there are so many beggars in Pizhou, the Zhuhua Gang has great influence in Pizhou.
Fu Youde explained: "When I followed Brother Li in Xuzhou, I had some friendship with the leader of the Zhuhua Gang, so after coming here this time, I went to him to find out a lot of information."
Geng Si hummed and said slowly: "Now that Jia Lu is dead, you can start the second plan!"
Fu Youde said: "I came here this time just to ask the big shopkeeper for help. I hope to borrow someone to implement the next plan!"
"Who to borrow?"
"Mo Jiu!"
Because of Geng Si's generous spending last night, as soon as Mo Jiugang received the news, he hurriedly left the military camp and came to the private room of Pizhou restaurant.
As soon as he saw Geng Si, he shouted: "Sir, it's only been one night and I haven't had time to find out the news. You must be too impatient!"
"You can collect the information slowly. There is no need to rush. I called you out today for another matter. If you do it, you will be rewarded heavily!" Geng Si said at a very slow speed.
Mo Jiu's eyes began to shine: "You say it, you say it!"
Geng Si took out a piece of paper and an ingot of gold ingot, put it on the table, and said: "Put this piece of paper into Xuexue's meal. As long as everything is done, these fifty taels of gold will be yours!"<
/p>
A strange light flashed in Mo Jiu's eyes, and he reached out to grab the gold ingot. However, after a while, he slowly put the gold ingot back on the table, his face turned gray.
"What's wrong? Don't you want it?"
Mo Jiu said with a grimace: "How could you not want it? It's just that a dedicated person is responsible for the coach's meals, so I can't get close to him at all!"
Geng Si was silent for a while and said, "Can you put the note into the food of Xuexue's cronies?"
Mo Jiu quickly grabbed Jin Yuanbao back and said happily: "You should be able to try it!"
Geng Si said solemnly: "It's not just a try, it's a must, otherwise you won't be able to take away this ingot of gold!"
Mo Jiu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I will definitely do it. Even if you look at me like this, the brothers in the kitchen are very impressed by me. It is not difficult to do it!"
In fact, he has always been looked down upon by other people in the kitchen. It was not until he became an informant and had more money that he gradually gained respect.
After the two reached an agreement, Geng Si gave Mo Jiu another pound of salt as payment for running errands out of the camp. Mo Jiu returned to the camp with the gold and salt.
As soon as I arrived at the camp gate, I saw a large group of people in front of me and a big fat man came out. There were soldiers clearing the way.
Mo Jiu was shocked and hurriedly knelt down on the roadside, not daring to move.
The fat man was Xuexue. He was filled with anger at the moment. Naturally, he ignored the pawn kneeling on the roadside and went straight to the Chinese army camp.
"Prime Minister, why did you execute Jia Lu without authorization!" The man shouted loudly while he was still outside the camp.
After entering the tent, he was slightly surprised. It turned out that in addition to Tuotuo, King Xining and King Jing were also present in the tent.
Xuexue's heart sank.
King Xining and King Jing are both staunch supporters of Tuotuo. Otherwise, Tuotuo would not let King Xining replace Dong Tuanxiao and go all the way to transfer King Jing from above.
Tuotuo invited the two of them over in advance. He probably guessed that he was going to come to investigate and asked the two to speak for him.
King Jing is a burly, dark-skinned typical Mongolian man, less than thirty years old. With his title of first-class Golden Seal Beast King, he is not afraid of Xuexue Privy Councilor's status.
"Snow Palm Commander, is this your attitude towards the Prime Minister?" he asked in Mongolian.
Xuexue also retorted in Mongolian: "Jia Lu is also a fourth-rank official in the court, but now he is executed for a letter that has not been verified. Is this reasonable?"
The King of Xining wrote lightly: "Xuexuezhang must have made a mistake. Jia Lu committed suicide out of fear of crime. The suicide note is here. If you don't believe it, you can take a look!"
Xuexue sneered: "Yesterday Jia Lu was still alive and well, and he couldn't stop shouting about injustice. How could he commit suicide out of fear of crime? I think someone wants to put the responsibility for the defeat of Haozhou on his head!"
King Jing laughed and said: "I heard that the Snow Palm Commander has always disliked the Han people. Why did he suddenly defend the Han people so much today?"
Xuexue said angrily: "It's unreasonable. Some people have clearly made mistakes but don't regret it. Instead, they use their close relatives to take the blame. Aren't you afraid that the Battle of Shahe will happen again?"
The King of Xining hummed: "Snow Palm, please be careful what you say. The Battle of Shahe was because the deputy commander Damon whipped the soldiers, causing the soldiers to mutiny, and our army was defeated. It has nothing to do with others!"
Xuexue was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she suddenly turned around and glared at Tai Buhua and Dong Juanxiao, as if blaming them for not asking for help!
In fact, when Dong Tuanxiao heard the news of Jia Lu's death, he knew that there was nothing he could do to get rid of Tuotuo, so he did not advocate coming to question Tuotuo, but it was a pity that Xuexue was too impatient.
Seeing that the situation was like this, Xuexue would be offended if he didn't speak, so he had to raise his hands to Tuotuo and said: "Prime Minister, can you let us take a look at Jia Lu's body?"
Tuotuo said calmly: "Jia Lu's suicide note said that he hoped that his body would be cremated immediately after his death, so I have already had his body cremated!"
Taibu Hanamichi: "Can you let us see the suicide note?"
Tuotuo said: "Of course." He waved his hand and quickly took out a letter and handed it to Xuexue.
Xuexue didn't go to pick it up, but Taibuhua hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up.
Yesu took out another letter and handed it to Taibu Huadao: "This is a letter Jialu wrote before. The Prime Minister can compare the handwriting."
Tai Buhua compared the two letters and found that the handwriting was exactly the same. He said to Xuexue: "Master, it seems to be a suicide note written by Jia Lu himself!"
Xuexue was shocked. She stretched her head to look and found that the handwriting on both sides was indeed the same, and the letter did mention that she hoped to have her body cremated immediately after her death.
Dong Tuanxiao met Jia Lu last night and can be sure that he will never commit suicide, let alone write such a suicide note.
He had seen Jia Lu's handwriting, stared at the letters for a while, and found that both letters were indeed Jia Lu's handwriting.
"I heard that there is a way to cut out the words written by a person and then have a mounting expert paste them together to create a letter with the same handwriting as that person's handwriting!" He whispered.
Xuexue gritted her teeth and said: "So that's it. Can you prove that the suicide note was pasted on it?"
Dong Tuanxiao stretched out his hand and touched the paper, shook his head and said: "The paste is tight, if you tear it open by force, it may destroy the suicide note, but it will help them instead."
Xuexue said: "What should we do?"
Dong Tuanxiao advised in a low voice: "Now that Jia Lu is dead, we have no choice but to endure it for the time being and look for opportunities to fight back in the future!"
Xuexue snorted and said loudly to Tuotuo: "Since the suicide note is here, I have nothing to say, so I have to say goodbye!" She left with Tai Buhua and Dong Tuanxiao.
Whenever she is in a bad mood, Xuexue likes to eat to vent her anger.
This time, I knew that Tuotuo had killed someone, but I could do nothing about him. I was so angry that I sent someone to write a letter to my brother Hama to inform him of the matter. I also ordered someone to prepare a roast suckling pig.
It took more than an hour to eat. After eating, I called two beloved concubines to have fun. After more than an hour of tossing, I felt exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, it was already Xu time.
Xuexue felt hungry again, and was about to send someone to get two roast geese, when a confidant suddenly entered the camp with a strange look on his face, as if he wanted to say something but dared not say it.
"What happened? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate!" Xuexue scolded.
The confidant hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, when I was eating just now, I found a paper ball in the dish with some strange words written on it!"
Xuexue said blankly: "What are you talking about?"
"Please take a look." The confidant handed over a note.
Xuexue took it and took a look at it, only to see that it said: There is something else in the letter, and the authenticity will only be revealed when it is roasted.
Xuexue was stunned for a while and then ordered: "Immediately send someone to invite Dong Tuanxiao and Zuo Xiang."
The confidant agreed and went, and not long after, Dong Tuanxiao and Taibuhua came.
Xuexue handed the note to the two of them to read.
Dong Tuanxiao's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "I understand, Zhang Tianyou's letter framed by Jia Lu was not forged, but someone else!"
Xuexue said: "Who?"
Dong Tuanxiao pondered: "The most likely thing is the Haozhou uprising. They want to use this matter to get rid of Jia Lu!"
Xuexue said: "Then what does this note mean?"
Dong Tuanxiao said: "They must have left other mechanisms on the letter. I heard that some people can write transparent words on paper, and it will become visible after being baked with fire!"
Tai Buhua's expression changed and he said: "You mean, the letter framed by Jia Lu had such transparent words written on it?"
Dong Tuanxiao said: "It shouldn't be wrong."
Xuexue said: "What did you write?"
Dong Tuanxiao hesitated for a while and said: "I can't guess it either, but one thing is for sure, it must be something detrimental to Prime Minister Tuotuo!"
Xuexue laughed and said: "Very good, let's go find Tuotuo now and make the transparent characters appear in front of him to see if he has anything else to say!"
Dong Tuanxiao reminded: "Master, if this happens, we will be completely used by thieves!"
Xuexue sneered and said: "These thieves will be wiped out sooner or later, so it doesn't hurt to let them be proud. The most important thing right now is to prove that Jia Lu has been framed, and punish Timur and the old thieves Tuo Tuo first!"
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Dong Tuanxiao stopped persuading him and said: "If you want the prime minister to be irresponsible, it is best to summon all the senior generals and expose the secret of the letter in public, so that he will not be able to hide it!" p>
Xuexue sneered and said: "That's it. The leftist prime minister will immediately summon the senior generals of each battalion. I want to make Tuotuo look embarrassed in public!"
