Chapter 87 Who Says Women Are Not as Good as Men (12)
Yu Tao felt that all the energy and blood in her body were rushing to the top of her head, a cloud of mist gathered in front of her eyes, and she could not walk steadily.
She asked in the most normal tone: "Does the Imperial Master say anything else?"
Tang Daoke: "I did say something, but it was just to inform my subordinates."
"What did the Imperial Master tell you?" Yu Tao asked a little anxiously.
Tang Daoke recalled the scene when Rong Qiqi left. After she dropped the words to warn Yu Tao, she walked halfway up the steps and stopped again.
He remembered that the Imperial Master's voice had lost its sarcasm and contained a hint of pity, "It's not easy for your family, take good care of her."
After hearing Tang Daoke's message, Yu Tao's energy and blood returned to various parts of the body like an ebbing tide.
She had mixed feelings in her mind, what kind of person was the Imperial Master? She could not understand the Imperial Master at all.
Yu Tao spent his whole life thinking about this issue.
Tang Daoke, unaware of Yu Tao's psychological activities, mentioned the main purpose of their visit: "Sir, where is Master Wu?"
"Where is Lord Wu now?" Tang Daoke's words awakened Yu Tao, she still had important matters to attend to.
This matter cannot be delayed.
After finally waiting for Rong Qiqi to return to the palace, she had to seize such a good opportunity.
Tang Daoke: "I'm going to find Mr. Wu now."
Yu Tao waited in the hall for a long time before Wu Shuanglin arrived late.
Wu Shuanglin looked haggard, as if he was unable to deal with Yu Tao, "Master Yu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
A lot of things happened while she was sleeping? Wu Shuanglin seemed to have been sucked by a ghost, and her hair looked a lot whiter.
She suppressed her doubts, took out a document from her hidden sleeve, and handed it to Wu Shuanglin, "Master Wu, are you familiar with this thing?"
Wu Shuanglin took it and opened it to see that his injured heart was stabbed again.
Those letters were between him and Qian Fangyi. How could they be in Yu Tao's hands?
Before, Yu Tao used Qian Fangyi's name to call him to the main hall. He guessed that Yu Tao might know something, but he didn't expect that she had real evidence.
At this point, he could only insist that these had nothing to do with him. Anyway, their letters were written in Dianzhou cipher text, which even Yutao couldn't understand.
Wu Shuanglin pretended to be ignorant and said, "Master Yu, what does this mean?"
Seeing this, Yu Tao took out another piece of paper, opened her mouth and read out the contents on the paper. Wu Shuanglin became more and more frightened as he listened, "You..."
Yu Tao folded the piece of paper, put it in her arms, and raised the corner of her mouth: "Master Wu, do you want to ask how I can understand the content of the cipher text?"
Yu Tao sat on the sandalwood chair, took a sip of tea and said: "In order to decipher Master Wu and Master Qian's secret message, eight horses were paralyzed, and only then did the officials find that gentleman in Dianzhou."
"One of you is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the other is the Minister of the Ministry of War. After all, you are more generous. The lower officials only spent a small amount of money, and that person hired them all."
Wu Shuanglin scolded Qian Fangyi in his heart and told him eight hundred times, don't act like he has never seen Qian in his life, he will lose to him one day.
Now that the matter has come to this, Wu Shuanglin is too lazy to beat around the bush anymore, and takes off the mask of politeness, saying: "Let's just tell you, what do you want me to do for you?"
Yu Tao still slowly drank half a cup of hot tea before saying, "I want to know your plans, the plans of Wu Shuanglin and Qian Fangyi."
If Yu Tao had asked Qi Qi to come to him first, he might have considered returning Yu Tao to their camp, but things were different now. He was about to withdraw from the matter, but Yu Tao intervened at this time.
Wait, this is not an opportunity to show loyalty.
Wu Shuanglin calculated quickly and without stopping, told Yu Tao what he and Qian Fangyi were going to do.
Yu Tao's fingers kept hitting the table, and a snake-like chill oozed from her petite body.
As she expected, Wu Qian and the commander of the Dianzhou capital had been secretly plotting against Wen Fulin. According to their plan, Wu Shuanglin, the secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, provided military pay, Qian Fangyi, the minister of the Ministry of war, controlled the military, and the commander of the Dianzhou capital
As backup, when the time is right, they will attack the royal city in one fell swoop.
Wu Shuanglin and Qian Fangyi were veterans promoted by the late emperor. They survived until now because they submitted to Xiao Jingshun.
Yu Tao could understand that Wu and Qian had different intentions towards the Dog Emperor, but Dianzhou was where Xiao Jingshun made his fortune, and the commander of the Dianzhou capital was Xiao Jingshun's closest confidant. How did they persuade that person to surrender?
Yu Tao expressed her doubts. When Wu Shuanglin talked about this matter, his face was not as gloomy as before.
The commander of the Dianzhou capital was named Xiao Jiangze, and he was Xiao Jingshun's younger brother. When he first came to the throne, Xiao Jingshun authorized his younger brother to enter the palace to meet the saint. It was originally a peaceful period, but Xiao Jiangze was assassinated on the day he left the royal city.
, happened to be rescued by Qian Fangyi.
Yu Tao interrupted: "Have you found out who the person who assassinated Xiao Jiangze was?"
Wu Shuanglin pointed to the roof: "It's the Holy One's will..."
Xiao Jingshun was extremely suspicious. The two brothers had had a bad relationship since childhood. He was afraid that his younger brother might have rebellious intentions, so he planned to kidnap and kill Xiao Jiangze on the way.
After this incident, even if Xiao Jiangze had no objection, he would have to re-think his future path. However, this Xiao Jiangze was a kind and loving man. He joined in order to protect himself and repay Qian Fangyi for saving his life.
After joining Qian Wu's camp, the three of them have been planning until now.
After Yu Tao figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing, she was not in a hurry to reveal her identity because she didn't trust Wu Shuanglin enough.
Wu Shuanglin was no longer afraid after telling him the big plan he had been planning for so many years. Since Yu Tao intercepted their secret letter, instead of reporting it to the emperor immediately, she came to him, which means that Yu Tao still doesn't want to break up.
Besides, now that there is someone behind him, he is still valuable to the Imperial Master, and he is not going to die so soon.
The nearly sixty-year-old Minister of the Ministry of Finance actually felt like he was being protected. He really wanted to cry...
Ever since he was half-forced by Rong Qiqi to submit to the emperor, his restless heart had actually calmed down. After a lifetime of ups and downs in officialdom, he had seen through many things.
When he is old, why is he still fighting for those illusory fame and fortune? He can't take it with him even if he dies.
In the first half of his life, he fought for power and neglected his two children in the family. His daughter entered the palace and became a concubine, and he could not see her only few times in his life. His only son, because of himself, alas...
Isn't Wu Shuanglin's purpose of being an official just to make his family rich and safe? In this case, no matter who becomes the emperor, as long as his family is healthy and safe, he will be satisfied.
Yu Tao didn't know that the person she wanted to win over had already turned against him.
She made her request, "Master Wu, I will suppress this matter, but you must agree to one condition."
Wu Shuanglin had already vaguely guessed, "Say."
"I want to see Qian Fangyi."
Yu Tao must contact them all before she can plan the next step.
Wu Shuanglin was eager to drag Yu Tao in so that he could find a scapegoat. Although he was very happy in his heart, he was still hesitant on his face, "Master Yu, I don't understand what you mean. Do you want to eradicate us, or..." Join
