The charcoal ash and sheep's blood on the floor of Gong Ziguang's bedroom were cleaned up, and Gong Ziguang's body was also changed into clean clothes. This noble gentleman in his early twenties was lying lifelessly under the couch, his face pale and his lips slightly green. Wei Shen lowered his head and held one of Gong Ziguang's hands tightly, and sat on the short wooden stool next to the couch with his head hung down. Zheng Yuming, on the other hand, looked blankly at Gong Ziguang, who was not out of danger.
With a 'creak', Wei Ren and Chu Chao Hui pushed the door and walked in. Wei Ren first went to the side of the couch and looked at his nephew, realizing that his nephew's chest was still heaving, his lifted heart slightly lowered.
"Eldest brother! The results of the interrogation have come out, it was that bitch Ripple Ji who ordered someone to harm Gongzi."
Wei Shen's head jerked up, both eyes staring straight at his cousin: "That bitch is Yi Ji instructed?"
"That's right, Artist Xin and his two boys were assigned by Ripple Ji to sneak to the side of the Prince five years ago."
"Bitch stayed by Gongzi's side for five years and I didn't even notice." Wei Shen 'snapped' and gave himself a hard slap, he now had endless remorse.
"Big brother" Wei Ren see Wei Shen a slap to the corner of his mouth bleeding, want to export comfort, but see the nephew on the bed life hanging by a thread, he was hard to hold his mouth, did not protect Gong Ziguang, he is also responsible for this uncle, when responsible for the investigation of the life of the artist Xin is Wei Ren, the artist Xin's life information is flawless, Wei Shen is to look at the Investigation information, think artist Xin harmless before letting Gong Ziguang favor.
"Mrs. Wei and Gongzi Ming also died under this Broken Intestine Grass." Zheng Yuming, who had been quiet and voiceless, suddenly said, and from the time the two of them, Chu Chao Hui and Wei Ren, entered the room, he had not glanced toward Chu Chao Hui.
"What? Madam and Ming were also killed by Ripple Ji?" Wei Shen and Wei Ren exclaimed at the same time. Zheng Yuming's modest voice exploded like thunder in the room.
Wei Shen even rushed from the side of the couch to Zheng Yuming's side: "Councilor Zheng you say it more clearly."
"That broken heart grass is highly poisonous to people and most livestock, only pigs and sheep eat not only non-toxic, but also make their hair glossy, fattening and anti-plague effect. Back then, Ripple Ji raised piglets as pets for a purpose, and the piglets were prepared by her in order to clear the suspicion of poisoning Mrs. Wei and Gongzi Ming."
Zheng Yuming had found it odd when he first heard that a wonderful woman's pet was a dirty piglet, and it was only now that Ripple Ji's old tactics were repeated that Zheng Yuming realized by association through the properties of the Broken Intestine Grass that eleven years ago, Mrs. Wei and Gong Zi Ming had died under this poisonous grass as well.
Zheng Yuming's flurry of inferences made both Wei Shen and Wei Ren's eyes red with rage, if Lady Wei had not been murdered by Ripple Ji, most likely, Lady Wei would have been raised to the throne, and one of the two brothers, Gong Zi Guang and Gong Zi Ming, would have become the heir to the throne.
"Ripple Ji this woman is step by step ah!" Chu Chao Hui lips pursed, eyebrows slightly wrinkled, now listening to Zheng Yuming's inference, he found himself on the Ripple Ji gullible, Ripple Ji under a poison, all have long thought of how to prove their innocence, proof of time, but also the incriminating evidence wiped clean, that little pig but the leftovers eaten clean, the King of Wu would like to re-check there is no thing to check.
Such a scheming woman, act necessarily thorough. Now the king of Wu Palace, may not be Chu Chao Hui envisioned that kind of situation, the king's capital situation will only be very favorable to Ripple Ji, Ripple Ji's plot may have succeeded.
"Zheng Qing Zheng Qing," Gong Zi Guang suddenly let out a faint voice.
Gongzi Guang woke up while the crowd was talking, he struggled to sit up, Wei Shen rushed over and half-helped Gongzi Guang up: ''Gongzi! Gongzi! How do you feel?"
"Zheng Qing come here!" Gongzi Guang leaned into Wei Shen's arms and raised his hand to point at Zheng Yuming, "What did you say just now? Was it Ripple Ji was it Ripple Ji who poisoned my mother consort and Ming Di?"
Zheng Yuming held Gong Ziguang's agitated and powerless hand and calmed him down, "Take care of your health, Madam and Gong Ziming's revenge needs to be avenged by Gong Zi."
"This poisonous woman, back then, it was really her who did it." Gong Ziguang woke up from his coma just in time to hear Zheng Yuming's deduction that his original suspicions were true. His newly awakened sanity was greatly stimulated. "Ripple Ji! I won't rest until you die!"
Gong Ziguang cried out and spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted again.
After the sun set, the four major gates of King Wu's capital raised the drawbridge on time and the gates were closed. One after another, the pedestrians on the streets of the royal city all returned to their homes, and after dark, the streets and alleys of the royal capital began to empty.
North Sima, with his guards, rode to patrol the north and east city gates under his own jurisdiction. After King Wu had deployed the Huben of South Sima and East Sima to the border to intercept the Tang army, the security of the two gates that the two men were originally in charge of was then left to him and West Sima, each in charge of a single one.
North Sima the north city gate and the east city gate round, instructed his men to raise vigilance alert, now the capital city within the military strength of a large part of the empty, Huben only have the ability to defend, and then there is an invasion of foreign enemies, can only be burned beacons to attract all around the Lord of the feudal lord to the king's capital to protect the driver.
Just as Bei Sima was about to return to his residence to rest, a small group of people sped down the city's main street. The leading man was dressed in maroon and yellow, holding up a brocade book.
"Is that the Northern Sima in front of you? Come and hear the summons!" The one wearing brown and yellow clothes was an attendant in the palace hall of King Wu's palace, and he rolled over and dismounted in front of Bei Sima, holding up the imperial edict and shouting.
Bei Sima hurriedly dismounted and knelt on one leg waiting for the attendant to read out the King of Wu's edict.
"The Great King has ordered the Northern Sima to quickly enter the palace to deliberate." The attendant read out the contents of the edict and handed it to the Northern Sima for verification.
Bei Sima received the brocade cloth with both hands and found that the content on it was the same as what the attendant had read out, and the seal that was stamped on it was also the Jade Seal Seal that the King of Wu carried with him.
"This Yellow Coat, what is the purpose of the urgent summons of the Great King now?" The clothes of the king's palace attendants were maroon in color, so people used yellow clothes as a proper name for the attendants.
"It's an urgent report from the north, the Great King has summoned the important ministers of the royal court to the palace to discuss the matter. Lord Sima quickly follow me to the king's palace." The attendant respectfully answered the Northern Sima's question.
"Who was summoned?" Bei Sima put the edict in his arms and remounted his horse.
The attendant glanced down at the two dozen or so personal guards behind Bei Sima, his face unmoving, "There's also the Crown Prince, Wen Zai, Doctor Jiang, and the Hussar General."
Upon hearing this, Bei Sima felt that the King of Wu had summoned them to discuss something very significant, just as he had summoned them that time against the Tang's march to the border.
"Please lead the way in front of the yellow coat."
"Here!" With the yellow clothes came to declare the summoning of six royal palace Huben, after hearing the order of the North Sima, dialed the head of the horse to walk in front to open the way for the North Sima, a line of more than thirty people, vast and majestic toward the royal palace.
When the Northern Sima received the King of Wu's edict, there were also three attendants from the Crown Prince's residence, Wenzai's residence and the Hussar General's residence with the Huben of the King's Palace to summon them, and the Crown Prince's Showa and Wenzai's residence were closer to the King's Palace, and the two of them had already entered the Palace with the attendants.
The Hussar General's stomach was not feeling well after the meal tonight, and he had just gone into the dressing room to relieve himself when the servant came to inform him that the King of Wu had summoned him. Not minding the vague pain in his stomach, the Hussar General hurriedly went to the hall to listen to the announcement.
"Great General, please quickly follow me into the palace." The yellow-clothed attendant's face was a bit pale, and after he finished reading the imperial edict and handed it to the Hussar Great General, he repeatedly urged.
"Well," Hussar General just wanted to agree, suddenly a cramp in the abdomen, he hastily changed the words: "yellow clothes please wait a moment, when I go to arrange the carriage will follow you into the palace."
When the Hussar General finished speaking, without waiting for the attendant to reply, he took the edict and hurried into the inner room, going straight to the dressing room to relieve himself.
Seeing this, the attendant standing inside the hall of the Hussar General turned paler and paler, and a fine sweat began to break out on his forehead.
Hussar general although nearly seventy years old, but the love of martial arts style does not diminish the same year, the mansion in the arrangement of full of military atmosphere, the family servants are high and robust, each is a practitioner, the hall on both sides of the forest are a variety of weapons, in the candlelight irradiation, reflecting a cold light, the people in the hall, only to feel surrounded by murderous atmosphere.
The hussar general went into the inner room for a long time and did not come out, the waiter waiting in the hall had more and more fine sweat on his face, he looked at the few Huben he had brought in the courtyard outside the hall, and then he looked at the robust household servants in the hall, his body even trembled slightly.
After relieving himself twice, the Hussar General felt no more pain in his stomach, so he thought of the hall to follow the attendant into the palace to meet the King of Wu.
"Great General stay back!" The Great General Hussar had just walked into the cloister when a man came scurrying out from underneath it.
"Oh, it's Sheriff Yan, something is going on until this general returns from seeing the Great King."
This surnamed Yan's houseman is the hussar general raised the doorkeeper, usually idle, in addition to eating and drinking, do not see him have other skills, hussar general's family is big, to such a dilly-dallying doorkeeper, although not disgusted, but the good feeling is also not much, in order to their own reputation, hussar general did not Yan's houseman swept away out of the house door, for nothing, raised Yan's houseman has six years of more.
"Great General must not go to the palace! There is a deception in this!" Yan Sheren took a step before the Great General and blocked his path.
Yan Sheren was around thirty years old, usually unkempt, dressed casually, wearing a pair of worn out futon shoes, and reeking of alcohol. This downtrodden appearance caused the Hussar General to frown slightly.
"Sheriff Yan has had too much wine, right? Quickly go back to your bedchamber to rest, don't miss the old man's business." The hussar general said while his eyes signaled the domestic servant beside him to pull this drunkard away.
"Yan Mou is not drunk, if the Great General doesn't believe me, he can secretly observe the summoned attendant's look, that attendant's look is different!" Yan Sheren got anxious, just now he walked past the hall and found that the summoned attendant's face was not right, after a closer look, that attendant's body was even trembling slightly.
After listening to Yan Sheren's description of the waiter's demeanor, the hussar general hurriedly went to the lattice window at the back of the hall to observe, and sure enough, the yellow-clothed waiter was wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve; it was now the end of August, and the temperature had long since dropped, and his body had already begun to wear a pincer coat, so how could this waiter be sweating like a summer's day?
When the attendant saw the hussar general come in, his face looked relieved, "Great general, quickly follow me into the palace to meet the great king, don't let the great king wait for a long time,"
The Hussar General stared closely at the attendant and suddenly bellowed, "Bold bitch! How dare you pretend to be an imperial edict, take down the left and right for me!"
After the hussar general bellowed, the royal palace Huben in the courtyard was tackled to the ground by the general's household servants.
"Daring you you to resist the edict." The attendant's legs went weak, his hand trembling as he pointed at the Hussar General.
The fact that the waiter can't even justify the accusation is all the more reason that something is wrong.
"Who on earth issued this edict, and what happened to the Great King?" The Hussar General grabbed the attendant by the chest and lifted him off the ground.
The Hussar General was old, but his breeze was not diminished; his snow-white eyebrows were erect, and his eyes bulged in a frightening manner.
"Great General spare your life! It's none of my business, I'm just following orders." This waiter in the palace on the basis of close relationship with Ripple Ji, the other waiters have always been cross-eyed, let a person feel very fierce, in fact, inside is a soft egg, by the hussar general so scared, three souls less two souls, on the spot like pouring beans to the inner palace of the truth poured out, it is not the king of the original imperial edict, but the Ripple Ji, the king of the king of the king of the king of the king of the king of the state of wu to go to the border to stop the invasion of the Tang Dynasty after the illness, has been in a coma for several days, everything in the palace under the control of, including the seal and the jade seal of the king of the king of the king. Everything in the palace is under Yi Ji's control, including the tiger symbol and jade seal.
"Why hasn't that old man come yet?"
Ripple Ji looked impatient, she was wearing a black cloak standing outside a bedchamber, the bedchamber was a field of corpses, the ground blood flowed into a river, Crown Prince Zhao lying on his back in a pool of blood, both eyes protruding, dead and not resting in peace.
Next to Prince Zhao's body were Bei Sima and Wen Zai who were lying breathless. Bei Sima had the most wounds on his body, and he had used his meaty palms to slap to death two of the royal palace Huben without weapons.
The guards that the three had brought into the royal palace had also been hacked to death by the royal palace Huben.
"It should be soon, the one who went to summon is the boldest attendant, there won't be any mistakes." Jiang Dafu was clad in armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, and he could not help but be hesitant when he thought of the great things that were going to come to pass today.
"Have the follow-up arrangements been made? The North Sima's men must take over first, and the Crown Prince's residence must be searched and raided without missing a single person." Ripple Ji covered her nose with her cuff, the smell of blood made her uncomfortable.
"Madam don't worry, after Bei Sima left with the attendant, the micro minister sent reliable people with the imperial edict to go ahead and take over the north gate, the crown prince's residence was surrounded as soon as the crown prince entered the palace, and is now already in the process of seizing the residence." Jiang Dafu's eight thousand private soldiers have all secretly entered the royal capital, nowadays in the royal capital, it's the North Sima's men who resisted, but they can't resist anymore, because the North Sima only has three thousand men in his hands, facing Jiang Dafu's eight thousand private soldiers, the West Sima's three thousand men, and the royal palace's three thousand Huben escorts, the North Sima's men can only be captured by their hands.
"Don't wait for that old guy to enter the palace before you do anything, you now take people to directly plagiarize that old guy's home, same as the Crown Prince's residence, don't leave a single one behind."
Ripple Ji looked at the hourglass, no patience to ink with the Hussar General again, Hussar General in her eyes, no soldiers in hand, just like a tiger without teeth. To deal with an old man who only has the skin of a tiger, it is still not light and coquettish.
Thinking that all the nobles in Wu who originally despised her will prostrate themselves at the soles of their feet, Yi Ji could not help but laugh in relief.
