Looking at Wang Tao who was greeting him with a smile, Eunuch Liu bowed respectfully to Wang Tao, and then said to him with a smile, "Master Wang, Your Majesty knows that you caught the person who was tampering with the saddle.
Therefore, I specially sent my slave to ask, sir, can you find out anything?"
Upon hearing what Eunuch Liu said, Wang Tao couldn't help frowning and sighing. He said, "Eunuch Liu, to be honest, this man is very cunning. He insisted that he was acting under the orders of Mr. Xie, but you
Thinking about it, Your Majesty was saved by Mr. Xie, so I concluded that he did not tell the truth. Moreover, I discovered that he was not the servant "Huai'an" from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion at all. He pretended to be "Huai'an"
's identity, as for his true identity, I am still investigating!"
Since His Majesty has already become suspicious of him, he cannot blame the matter on the Marquis Wu'an Mansion, otherwise, it will further prove that he has ulterior motives.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, the smile on Eunuch Liu's face was obviously a little brighter, and he said, "So that's it, but our family heard that Mr. Xie from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion was also involved?
"
"No, the eldest son of the Marquis of Wu'an is also a fool. He was used as a weapon without even realizing it." Wang Tao replied with a faint smile.
Eunuch Liu nodded and said, "Master Wang, it is related to your majesty's safety, so your majesty would like to ask Mr. Xie personally. You see..."
Wang Tao frowned slightly. He was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Eunuch Liu's voice rang out again.
"Master Wang, is Mr. Xie still alive?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Tao's words were suddenly blocked when they reached his lips.
At this time, if he couldn't bear the torture and died while saying thank you, wouldn't it look too deliberate?
"Eunuch Liu is joking. It concerns your Majesty's safety. I am very cautious about everyone involved in this matter. I still have this sense of propriety, but... you know, Eunuch, anyone who enters the Jinyi Guards
There is no one with full beard and tail." Wang Tao looked at Mr. Liu with a smile.
Eunuch Liu smiled understandingly and said, "That's the case, as long as people are alive and can speak."
Wang Tao smiled, and then he turned sideways and told the guard in brocade beside him, "Go and bring out Mr. Xie from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion!"
"Yes, sir." The Jin Yiwei responded, then turned around and quickly went to pick up the person.
"Eunuch Liu, is your Majesty's injury feeling better?" Seeing that the person was gone, Wang Tao smiled hurriedly and spoke to Eunuch Liu again.
Upon hearing Wang Tao's words, Eunuch Liu's face, which was originally full of smiles, immediately fell down. He frowned and sighed deeply, "Several doctors said that your Majesty's injury will have to be healed for a while, otherwise
, Your Majesty will not endure the pain and summon three ministers for questioning."
Wang Tao was worried about how to lead the conversation to this point, but he didn't expect that Eunuch Liu suddenly mentioned it himself. He couldn't help being unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He pondered for a while, and then said
He said to Mr. Liu in confusion, "I wonder why your Majesty summoned several ministers? I have been busy investigating the attack on Your Majesty, so..."
"Your Majesty was just eager to know the truth about the attack, so he didn't send you an audience!" As he spoke, Eunuch Liu raised his eyes and looked at Wang Tao. He paused for a moment, and then continued with a serious look.
He said to Wang Tao, "Master Wang, you must not disappoint His Majesty!"
Facing the person closest to Emperor Zhengxuan, Wang Tao couldn't tell for a moment whether his last words meant anything.
Fortunately, at this moment, the Jin Yiwei who went to pick up someone earlier had already returned.
"My lord, Eunuch Liu." The Jin Yiwei quickly saluted the two of them, then stepped aside.
Only then did Eunuch Liu see clearly that there were two more Jin Yiwei behind him. They put Xie Shi in the middle of the frame.
It's like being stupid.
Eunuch Liu frowned and frowned. Just as he was about to say something, Wang Tao's sharp voice rang out.
"You bastard, you don't know how to clean the person before bringing him out! Didn't you hear Eunuch Liu say just now that Your Majesty wanted to summon him?"
"Young one, damn it!" As soon as the Jin Yiwei heard Wang Tao's words, he immediately bowed and admitted his mistake. Finally, he raised his head and asked Wang Tao cautiously, "Sir, how about I take him down here?"
Clean it up?"
"No need, it's been a while since our family came out, and His Majesty is still waiting." Eunuch Liu directly refuted the Jin Yiwei's words coldly.
Upon hearing Eunuch Liu's words, the Jin Yiwei immediately became silent.
And Wang Tao smiled hurriedly and took a step towards Eunuch Liu and said, "Eunuch Liu said, then... Eunuch, I will leave this seat to you."
Eunuch Liu lightly touched the corners of his lips, and then waved his hand behind him. Immediately, two young eunuchs came out and took Xie Shi from the hands of Jin Yiwei.
"Master Wang, look at Mr. Xie's appearance. I think I can't ask you anything. Why don't you come with us? That way, if His Majesty asks, you can answer the question." Eunuch Liu looked at him with a smile.
said Wang Tao.
Wang Tao's heart suddenly stopped, but before he could speak, Gao Bin behind him immediately took a step forward.
"grown ups."
"What? Are you afraid that our family will eat Master Wang?" Seeing Gao Bin stand up, Eunuch Liu couldn't help but squinting at him with the corners of his lips curled up.
"How could it be? My father-in-law is overthinking it, but I haven't asked anything from the fake 'Huai'an' yet. If your Majesty asks about it later, I'm afraid..."
"Master Wang is overly worried. What happened yesterday was obviously directed at His Majesty. As long as it has something to do with Your Majesty, the people sent out are either dead soldiers or secret guards. It is normal that Master Wang did not ask anything for a while. Your Majesty will
I am considerate of Mr. Wang." Eunuch Liu smiled and cut off Wang Tao's words.
Speaking of this, it was obvious that Wang Tao could no longer refuse.
However, His Majesty did not announce that he had entered the hunting palace at first, but now he sent Eunuch Liu to come. Is there possible fraud in this?
Your Majesty, don't you want to invite you to the urn?
Gao Bin obviously had the same idea as Wang Tao, but in front of Eunuch Liu, he couldn't say anything, so he could only glance sideways and wink at Wang Tao quietly.
"Master Wang, what, do you have anything else?" Seeing Wang Tao standing still, Eunuch Liu couldn't help but frown and looked at him in confusion and asked again.
Wang Tao pursed his lips and smiled. He raised his hand towards Eunuch Liu as if nothing had happened and said, "Nothing, Eunuch Liu, please lead the way!"
"Sir, how about my subordinates go with you?" Seeing that Wang Tao was about to be taken away by Eunuch Liu, Gao Bin finally couldn't help but stood up and said again.
Who knows what is waiting for you in the hunting palace? If he goes, the two of you can still take care of him!
But as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Tao immediately glanced at him with a cold look, "What are you going to do? Have you found out the identity of the fake 'Huai'an'! Even if Your Majesty accuses me, it is because of my inability to do things.
, instead of worrying about me, why not find out his identity as soon as possible!"
Looking at Wang Tao's cold eyes, Gao Bin immediately realized that he had indeed acted too eagerly just now. Seeing Eunuch Liu's eyes looking towards him, he hurriedly raised his hand and made a gesture towards Wang Tao.
He said politely, "Sir, I understand. I will go to interrogate Huai'an. No matter what means I use, I will definitely get an answer from him today!"
"Go!" Wang Tao withdrew his eyes and waved his hand towards Gao Bin with an indifferent expression.
"Yes!" Gao Bin responded, then turned around and led the two Jinyi guards towards the tent where 'Huai'an' was imprisoned.
Seeing Gao Bin's leaving figure, Wang Tao breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Eunuch Liu with a smile and said, "Eunuch Liu, let's go!"
"Master Wang, please." Eunuch Liu smiled and bowed to give way to Wang Tao.
Wang Tao smiled at him, and then walked towards the hunting palace with his head raised calmly.
He didn't know what was waiting for him, but he had to take this step, because if His Majesty really suspected that he asked Eunuch Liu to come to him, then he must not be the only one coming!
Once he makes any changes or has any resistance, it is almost self-evident what is waiting for him.
Therefore, he cannot move.
Because if he moves now, he will be convicted of treason! By then, even if he can escape by chance, all his power and status will be wiped out!
He can't gamble!
Moreover, the situation in the hunting palace is unknown now. Although His Majesty is a little suspicious of him, he will not set a trap for him to enter. Otherwise, he can take action now, and there is no need to lure him to the hunting palace...
Besides, it’s not like he has no room for argument!
Thinking of this, Wang Tao couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
"Master Wang, don't be nervous. His Majesty just wants to ask you about the progress of the interrogation." Seeing that Wang Tao's jawline was tense, Eunuch Liu smiled and said to him.
"Eunuch Liu, I'm not worried about this. What I'm worried about is the matter in Jingzhou..." Seeing Eunuch Liu bring up this topic, Wang Tao frowned and sighed deeply.
"What happened in Jingzhou? Mr. Wang, what did you say?" Liu Eunuch said pretending to be curious.
"Eunuch Liu, please stop teasing me... The incident in Jingzhou has caused such a big fuss, but I haven't received any news at all. On the contrary, Mr. Shi got the news first..." When he mentioned this, Wang Tao
Immediately I became worried.
"Well, it's no wonder Master Wang didn't receive the news!" Eunuch Liu looked at Wang Tao and said hesitantly.
"Eunuch Liu, you don't know something. I left a lot of hidden clues in the capital before departure. Normally, they should inform me of such a big matter, but...so, I suspect that they should be
Something happened." Wang Tao looked at Eunuch Liu and said in a serious tone.
As soon as he said this, he saw Eunuch Liu's eyes flash twice.
The two were silent for a long time, and finally Eunuch Liu spoke with a solemn expression without restraining himself, "Master Wang, to be honest, your Majesty has the same suspicion as you. This is the real reason why your Majesty summoned you today.
