"Just a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, why does A-Zhan rely on you?" Mr. Lu continued to ask Prince Xiao, still puzzled.
Xiao Mubei's face suddenly darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That fellow Lu Zhan said that he never suffered any loss. If I stole his sweet-scented osmanthus cake, I would have to compensate him, and I would have to compensate him twice as much!"
The compensation came and went, and he accidentally paid for it himself!
Thinking of this, Xiao Mubei felt his chest becoming more and more congested!
Why was he so stupid back then! If he refused to pay, what could Lu Er do to him? It was just a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, how could he dare to start a fight?
After all, he was too young and naive back then!
"Your Majesty, you must have been teased by A-Zhan!" Lu Shen looked at Xiao Mubei with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mubei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He raised his voice and said, "Brother Lu, what do you mean by this?"
Lu Zhan curled his lips towards Xiao Mubei again, and said softly, "Your Majesty, A-Zhan has never liked sweets since he was a child!"
"No, you don't like sweets? Brother Lu, what do you mean by this?" Xiao Mubei was stunned for a moment.
"The osmanthus cake you secretly ate must have belonged to Sister Rong. I remember that Sister Rong liked to eat osmanthus cake." Mr. Lu added silently with a smile.
Prince Xiao's face suddenly darkened. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Lu Zhan, only to find that Lu Zhan was also looking at him with a smile.
"Lu Er, is what your brother said true? That piece of osmanthus cake I secretly ate back then is really yours?" Even though the facts were before his eyes, Xiao Mubei still couldn't believe it, and he insisted
asked Lu Zhandao.
After hearing what Xiao Mubei said, Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows and smiled, and admitted without any burden, "No!"
"Then you have to catch me and make me pay! And you have to pay double the compensation!" Xiao Mubei glared at Lu Zhan, and he bit the word 'double' very hard. If he was not afraid of losing the style of the Zhennan Palace, this would
He really wanted to rush up and bite Lu Zhan to death!
"So what's the matter! One is willing to be beaten while the other is willing to suffer, and I didn't use a knife to force you to apologize!" Lu Zhan said with an indifferent expression.
Xiao Mubei staggered, and at this moment, Gao Bin, who thought he had found an opportunity, flew up. Xiao Mubei's face turned cold, and he pulled off the jade pendant hanging on his waist, and without thinking, he fiercely pointed at Gao Bin
The figure was thrown over.
"ah--"
Gao Bin only heard a scream, and then his figure fell straight to the ground like a kite with its string broken.
But even so, Xiao Mubei still felt uneasy. He rushed towards Gao Bin in a few steps, raised his hand and punched him hard in the face. As he punched him, he muttered, "Where's the knife?"
?Where is your knife? You should show me a knife!"
Seeing Xiao Shizi punching left and right, hitting Gao Bin so hard that he couldn't even say the word "pain", Xia Yu couldn't help but close his eyes. He frowned and took a step forward.
"Your Majesty, please take it easy, we have to take people to His Majesty!"
Looking at Gao Bin who was beaten to the point of being left with only one breath left, Xiao Mubei snorted coldly. Then, he stood up and took two steps back. However, when he passed by Xia Yu, he did not forget to give him a sharp look and said
, "The same raccoon dog!"
Xia Yu's mouth twitched.
Birds of a feather?
Is Prince Xiao saying that he is in the same league as someone else?
Gao Bin?
Or Mr. Lu?
Just when Xia Yu wanted to ask, Prince Xiao had already patted his ass and left!
He is really leaving!
He completely gave up on the whole mess behind him!
Now he just wants to go back and take a good bath and then sleep! No one knows how much damage this belated truth has caused to his young and pure heart!
Lu Zhan is so dark!
His heart, liver, spleen and lungs were completely black!
At this time, in the hunting palace, Wang Taozheng, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, knelt down in front of Emperor Zhengxuan with a frightened look and told him, "Your Majesty, after learning about Jingzhou, the ministers immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately contacted the capital.
I sent two secret letters, but until now, there is no news about those two secret letters, as if they have disappeared into the sea, so, Your Majesty, I boldly guess that something may have happened in the capital!"
Although Emperor Zhengxuan could not move at this moment, his face was still gloomy and scary. After listening to Wang Tao's words, he did not say a word for a long time. However, his eyes like maggots on the tarsal bones were glued to Wang Tao.
On Tao.
Even though Wang Tao was so guilty that he broke into a cold sweat at this moment, he did not dare to avoid Emperor Zhengxuan's eyes at all. He could only spend his whole life looking back at Emperor Zhengxuan anxiously and worriedly.
He knows that he can't dodge now!
Once he hides, he will be greeted by an abyss!
Not only were the Yulin Guards surrounding the hunting palace, but the prince Lu Yan, the Duke of Dingguo, who was sitting next to Emperor Zhengxuan, was enough to scare him!
Your Majesty has been on guard against him for a long time!
Time passed bit by bit, and Wang Tao didn't know how long Emperor Zhengxuan had been staring at him. Just when he was almost unable to hold on any longer, Emperor Zhengxuan's gloomy voice finally rang out.
"Wang Tao, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Your Majesty, I am an incompetent minister..." Wang Tao hurriedly fell to the ground, but at the same time, he felt slightly relieved in his heart.
Emperor Zhengxuan was willing to ask him questions, which at least showed that he was willing to give himself a chance to defend himself!
Of course, if he hadn't said those words to Eunuch Liu before entering the hunting palace, I'm afraid that what would have been waiting for him would have been a dragnet that had already been laid!
"Incompetent! I really hope you are really incompetent..."
"Your Majesty..." Hearing the warning in Emperor Zhengxuan's words, Wang Tao hurriedly fell to the ground again.
"Wang Tao, do you know why I value Jin Yiwei so much?" Emperor Zhengxuan closed his eyes, staring at Wang Tao, his voice was cold as if oozing out of the ice hell.
"His Majesty……"
"Because I have always regarded Jinyiwei as my eyes, ears and the indestructible blade in my hand! And because they have never let me down! But now, you tell me that I am blind in this eye, deaf in this ear, and even
, even the sharp blades are embroidered with iron! If that's the case, then tell me, why do I still keep them! What do I still keep them for!" Emperor Zhengxuan glared at Wang Tao fiercely, and he held back his hind legs.
The severe pain shouted at him loudly.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty! I am guilty!" Wang Tao finally could only lie on the ground in fear and said.
How can he explain it!
Every word of Emperor Zhengxuan was like a transparent whip hitting him. It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he might be really incompetent...
He clearly held such a sharp blade in his hand that made hundreds of officials fearful, but he didn't realize that this sharp blade was actually not as sharp as before. It was ridiculous that he had been so proud of it before.
In fact, it’s not Wang Tao’s fault.
Emperor Zhengxuan has always been suspicious. Even though Jinyiwei was founded by him, and he made great contributions to seize the throne and clean up the government office, however, as his throne became more stable, he also began to be wary of this person.
Therefore, he removed the former commander of the Jinyiwei just because he had a high prestige among the Jinyiwei, and then, after appointing him to take over as the commander, he promoted Yang Hefeng.
He always likes to play with checks and balances the most!
Moreover, he does not like to promote those who have outstanding talents or are good at planning, because he is worried that once these people have outstanding talents or are good at planning, they will threaten the authority of his emperor!
He's used to being in control!
"You are indeed guilty! Moreover, the crime is unpardonable!" Just when Wang Tao was frightened, Emperor Zhengxuan's cold voice rang out again.
"His Majesty……"
"Your Majesty! Do you still regard me as your Majesty? Wang Tao, do you think that I am too old and confused to let you fool me? Even Shi Bin can receive the news from the capital, but you told me,
You know nothing about what is going on in the capital? Are all the imperial guards in the capital dead?"
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen, Wei Chen also feels strange! Maybe, maybe all the secret lines that Wei Chen buried in the capital have been discovered..."
"Sir Wang, Jin Yiwei must have buried a lot of secrets in the capital! I remember, I just drank a few glasses of wine in Zuiyun Tower and had a few arguments with Mr. Shi. The next day, His Majesty called me there
Reprimand in the palace... You can even find out about such a trivial matter. It's impossible for you to know nothing about such a big thing in Jingzhou City!" As soon as Wang Tao finished his words, the voice of the Crown Prince Dingguo sounded.
There was a cool sound.
"Your Majesty, please don't talk nonsense! Jin Yiwei has indeed buried a lot of hidden clues in the capital, but don't forget that there is another sinner in the capital, Yang Hefeng! Perhaps someone has pried Jin Yiwei out of his mouth and stayed in the capital.
A secret line!" Seeing the Crown Prince Dingguo stand up, Wang Tao straightened his back and said.
At this point, he can only push Yang Hefeng out and take the blame!
As long as he can pass this test today, from now on, it won’t be up to him what he says!
"Yang Hefeng? Mr. Wang, do you have a bad memory? Yang Hefeng is locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. He is a dying man, what can he do?"
"A dying man can't do much, but what can he do if someone wants to use him? For example, I found out from Mr. Xie's mouth that the young man Huai'an who tampered with His Majesty's saddle was Yang Hefeng.
The person who was placed in Wu'anhou's Mansion, although later I discovered that he was wearing the person, skin, and mask of 'Huai'an', but even so, it does not prove that this Huai'an is not the Huai'an who was in the first Wu'anhou's Mansion!
I have every reason to suspect that all of this was deliberately planned by someone using Yang Hefeng! Otherwise, how could they know that Huai'an was a hidden stake in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion!" Wang Tao became more and more fluent as he spoke, and became more confident as he spoke.
.
"Master Wang can explain the matter of 'Huai'an' later. Master Wang, let's listen to Gao Qianhu's statement first!" Just when Wang Tao felt that he was about to pass this hurdle, a clear voice came.
