In a small courtyard!
Spider King, Danzhizi, Ancestor Du, and Chi Bingzi sat together, chatting about the Eastern Kingdom.
"Uncles, the four weak forces have been conquered by Wang Xiong, and the losses are minimal! The territory of Dongfang Kingdom has reached 150 cities!" Chi Bingzi said with a depressed look.
"I know, what's the hurry!" Spider Emperor took a sip of tea.
"Wang Xiong's power is getting bigger and bigger. After the four human immortal forces, there are the four earth immortal forces, and now...!" Chi Bingzi said increasingly worriedly.
"Ancestor Poison, didn't you say that even if an immortal swallows the poison you just developed, he will definitely die? The leader won't let us do it ourselves, so we can poison Wang Xiong!" Danzhizi frowned.
"Yes, Uncle Master, we can't let Wang Xiong grow stronger!" Chi Bingzi cooperated.
Ancestor Poison looked at the Spider Emperor. The Spider Emperor narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "No, now is not a good time! Wang Xiong has been staying in Lingxiao City. If something goes wrong, it is easy to scare the snake!"
"But, uncle, Wang Xiong, we can't give him time! Once he annexes more territories and the situation is about to be achieved, there will be no chance. If Wang Xiong hides in Lingxiao City all his life, are we going to watch him grow up all our life? "?" Chi Bingzi advised.
"Yes, senior brother, it's better to do it sooner rather than later. We don't need to do it ourselves. Even if we fail, it doesn't matter!" Danzhizi nodded.
"Lingxiao City, there is also a chess piece buried by the leader, we can use him! Let him poison Wang Xiong! Moreover, Dongfang Kingdom has just swallowed sixty cities, and it is a big day to celebrate the victory! Such a good opportunity , Don’t miss this opportunity!” Ancestor Du also advised.
"Yes, uncle!" Chi Bingzi also said expectantly.
This time, although the Spider Emperor was the master of everyone, after all, there were two junior brothers and one was the disciple of the leader. The Spider Emperor was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
"Then shall I inform that chess piece?" Ancestor Du's eyes lit up.
"Now that we've decided, we can't be rash. I'll handle it. It's just a bit hasty and may not have much effect!" The Spider Emperor sighed and nodded.
----------
Lingxiao City, in the royal palace.
Because the Dongwei Army sang loudly all the way, in a short period of time, they conquered the territory and captured 60 cities. When the victory came, the whole country celebrated.
The Dongwei Army is not only an army fighting, but also has huge logistics to deal with. Nangong Lang is responsible for the money output of all parties, Zhang Ru is responsible for personnel, and there are six departments working together. Starting a war is a big project.
Now that he has achieved victory, Wang Xiong naturally wants to reward these hard-working officials, hold a small banquet to encourage the officials, and make some small rewards to make the officials work harder in the next work.
The small celebration banquet has not yet begun, and the palace is naturally busy.
Wang Zhongquan is the commander-in-chief of the Tsing Yi Guard. In addition to supervising officials and spying on the world, he is also responsible for the safety of the king.
Originally, the palace was full of joy and everything was going on in an orderly manner, but not long after, a big event happened.
"Lord Commander, what's wrong? When Yu Baihu checked the drinks for the banquet, it was found that someone had poisoned him, and he poisoned the king directly!" A guard in green was invited to report.
"What?" Wang Zhongquan's expression suddenly changed.
The Qingyi guards immediately led the way for Wang Zhongquan and quickly arrived at the imperial dining room.
"Why do you say it was me who poisoned you? Why did I want to harm the king! It wasn't me!" An angry roar came from the crowd outside the imperial dining room.
"Get out of the way, the commander is here!" A group of green-clothed guards shouted.
Suddenly, the crowd gave way, allowing Wang Zhongquan to walk to the center.
But he saw, in the center, a white-haired old man, wearing the clothes of the imperial kitchen manager, looking angrily at the green-robed guard in front of him.
"Uncle Zhao?" Wang Zhongquan's face suddenly darkened.
"General Manager, you are here. You came just in time. He actually said that I poisoned the King? General Manager, when I was in the Dongfang Palace, I watched the King grow up, and the King also grew up eating the food I cooked. , not only the king, but also the old prince in the past, he said I poisoned? Come on, where did I poison? Forget it, poison me to death!" Uncle Zhao grabbed the spoon and yelled.
Some chefs on the side also spoke one after another: "General Manager, we are all old people in Dongfang Palace, how can we harm the king? Uncle Zhao is the oldest, is he crazy? Is he betraying the king? How is it possible? Uncle Zhao wants to do it to the king. Poison, it was enough before. Why wait until now, Uncle Zhao is stupid?"
"Yes, Chief Manager, Uncle Zhao was wrongly accused. He worked in the palace all his life, and now he is wrongfully accused and poisoned. Isn't this what Uncle Zhao feels like?"
… … …
… …
…
All the chefs in the imperial kitchen said angrily.
Uncle Zhao looked even more desperate.
Wang Zhongquan frowned slightly and turned to look at the Qingyi guards Baihu and Yu Baihu who were scolded by Uncle Zhao.
Yu Baihu's face also turned purple for a while, with an angry look on his face: "Sir, this subordinate did not lie. This Uncle Zhao is the old man of the imperial kitchen. Just because he is old, no one dares to check him. However, I, the Qing Yi Guard, We are responsible for the safety of the palace. If something goes wrong, we will be implicated. We, the Tsing Yi Guards, are also responsible for the safety of this banquet. Did we make a mistake again after checking
When we inspected the King's Wine, we found that it was highly poisonous. More importantly, Uncle Zhao tried every means to stop us from inspecting it. Check it out, this time, it turns out that the drink is really poisonous, and just a small drop can kill hundreds of people. More importantly, the poison has a delayed effect, and you won't feel it even after drinking it for a short time! "
The other guards in green also nodded: "Yes, Commander, if Yu Baihu hadn't been more careful, something big would have happened at this banquet!"
The Tsing Yi guards were all anxious. If the king was poisoned, all the Tsing Yi guards responsible for monitoring would be implicated. This Uncle Zhao is really doing a lot of harm to people! Must be a spy.
"Fart, you must have framed me on purpose!" Uncle Zhao glared.
"Humph, you are responsible for the drinks given to the king. We have never touched them. You were also the one who reviewed them at that time. Uncle Zhao? Are you a spy from outside?" Yu Baihu glared.
The two parties quarreled endlessly, and Wang Zhongquan's face darkened.
"Arrest Uncle Zhao and Yu Baihu!" Wang Zhongquan's eyes turned cold.
"What?" Everyone's expressions changed.
There was a poisoning case in the palace, and Wang Zhongquan was naturally extremely vigilant. This was the palace. If something had not gone wrong today, there would have been some serious harm in the future.
"You guys, go search the homes of Uncle Zhao and Yu Baihu, interrogate their families, check them carefully, and go back as soon as possible!" Wang Zhongquan said coldly.
"Yes!" A group of Wang Zhongquan's most trusted Tsing Yi guards immediately rushed over.
"General Manager, it's him...!" Uncle Zhao said anxiously.
"Sir, it's him...!" Yu Baihu said anxiously.
"Shut up, all of you!" Wang Zhongquan glared.
Neither of them spoke. Not long after, the green-clothed guards who went to check on the situation at their homes came back one after another.
"Sir, there is nothing wrong with hundreds of families. The family members don't know anything. There is nothing abnormal!" said one of the reviewers.
"Sir, Uncle Zhao's family was preparing to leave the city to visit relatives, but we stopped them. We found a key in Uncle Zhao's wife's baggage that she didn't recognize!" said another reviewer.
"Oh? Going out to the city to visit relatives? Such a coincidence?" Wang Zhongquan suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at Uncle Zhao.
"General Manager, I am wronged. My father-in-law received news not long ago that he was dying, so I asked the old woman to go back to visit. I was worried about the king's banquet, so I didn't go. I am innocent!" Uncle Zhao suddenly panicked.
Uncle Zhao didn't expect such a coincidence, so he couldn't explain it.
"Where is the key?" Wang Zhongquan frowned.
"Here it is!" A subordinate handed over the key.
Wang Zhongquan frowned slightly.
"Assemble the Qingyi guards from all parties to thoroughly investigate all of Uncle Zhao's property, all of Uncle Zhao's wife's natal property, all of Uncle Zhao's brothers' properties, and all of Uncle Zhao's close friends' properties, to find the key to the lock! Hurry! Go!" Wang Zhongquan ordered.
"yes!"
The Tsing Yi Guards have now penetrated into various places. With Wang Zhongquan's order, all parties moved into action. One by one, the cranes quickly flew towards the Sifang City.
The banquet was still early, but the efficiency of the Tsing Yi Guards was terrifying.
In the evening, news came.
"Sir, it has been found out that Uncle Zhao's father-in-law is indeed dying, but his illness is very strange! He came too fast!" a green-clothed guard reported.
"Sir, I found it. The lock with the key is a mechanical lock in the cellar of a remote old house owned by Uncle Zhao. After we opened it, there was a storage bracelet inside, which contained millions of spiritual stones!" Another guard in blue handed it over. Storage bracelet.
Millions of spirit stones
"Haha, Uncle Zhao. I'm sorry I trust you so much! Take him away!" Wang Zhongquan was furious.
This Uncle Zhao is also an old man from the Dongfang Palace, but he was paid to kill the king? This is courting death!
"I am wronged, I am wronged, Chief Manager, why should I harm the king? This key is not mine. I don't know about these millions of spiritual stones, I don't know!" Uncle Zhao shouted in horror.
"Even now, he's still stubborn. Take him down for interrogation! Who asked him to poison him!" Wang Zhongquan said coldly.
"Yes!" A group of green-clothed guards escorted Uncle Zhao down.
Only then did Wang Zhongquan look at Na Yu Baihu.
"Master Commander, what a dangerous situation!" Yu Baihu said happily.
Wang Zhongquan was even more fortunate. He didn't expect that Uncle Zhao would be hired to kill him. It was time to clean up the palace.
He patted Yu Baihu on the shoulder: "Less, you did a good job! If you hadn't been careful this time, this banquet would have been a big joke!"
"This is where your responsibilities lie!" Yu Baihu immediately said solemnly.
"Well said, your responsibilities are yours, no matter who you are, you can't show favoritism. You have done well. After a few days, you passed the assessment and I promoted you to Qianhu. This time it is really outrageous. Others dare not check. ? You dare! Well done! Next, you will be responsible for all inspections of the banquet and take care of all matters related to the banquet!" Wang Zhongquan said solemnly.
"Yes!" Yu Baihu shouted excitedly.
Yu Baihu went to work again with a group of Qingyi guards.
Wang Zhongquan exclaimed slightly, this time it was very dangerous.
Wang Zhongquan felt that he had done a good job, but he did not report it to Wang Xiong. After all, Wang Xiong had a lot of things to do. Now that it's solved, it's not too late to report it after the banquet!
As Wang Zhongquan continued to inspect the palace, he saw Zhang Ru coming out of the study room not far away and seemed to be in a good mood. Wang Zhongquan thought for a while and walked forward.
"Master Zhang!" Wang Zhongquan said.
"Oh? Mr. Wang? I don't know if you have any advice?" Zhang Ru asked curiously.
After all, Wang Zhongquan rarely interacts with ministers. What's the matter when he suddenly comes to meet him
"Master Zhang, you are responsible for relocating people. Please pay attention to safety outside recently!" Wang Zhongquan took a deep breath and said.
"Oh? What happened?" Zhang Ru looked serious.
"Of course, it is my Qingyi Guard's duty to check for hidden dangers in all directions, but I still ask Mr. Zhang to be careful. There are many chores nowadays to prevent hidden dangers...!" Wang Zhongquan told Uncle Zhao who had just prepared to poison the king.
Zhang Ru's pupils shrank: "Poison? Are they all coming to the palace?"
"Yes! If it hadn't been for Xiao Jingjing, this time...!" Wang Zhongquan sighed slightly.
"Assassinating the king is no small matter. Mr. Wang, we can't end it so lightly!" Zhang Ru frowned slightly.
"I have sent someone to examine Uncle Zhao!"
"No, what I mean is, besides that Uncle Zhao, is there anyone else? Listening to what you said, I found that it went too smoothly for Uncle Zhao's assassination to be investigated!" Zhang Ru frowned.
"Huh?" Wang Zhongquan's pupils shrank.
But the next moment, Wang Zhongquan still shook his head: "No, after what happened with Uncle Zhao, I, the Qingyi Guard, will not slack off! I will not make any mistakes again!"
"Master Wang, are you sure?"
"I'm sure!" Wang Zhongquan affirmed.
"Okay, Mr. Wang, please handle it carefully. I still have a task assigned by the king. I'm going to leave first. You have to take good care of it. The Qingyi guards will check it and there will be no more mistakes?" Zhang Ru said goodbye.
Wang Zhongquan nodded and sent Zhang Ru away.
But Wang Zhongquan had a feeling in his heart. Wang Zhongquan cared for Wang Xiong more than anyone else. Zhang Ru didn't have time to analyze it. However, everything mentioned just now illustrates one problem. In the assassination of Uncle Zhao, everything went too smoothly. .
Do you believe in yourself, Qing Yiwei? Wang Zhongquan would rather examine himself one more time than Wang Xiong's safety.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Zhongquan quickly headed to the banquet hall.
"Sir, it has been checked and there is no problem!" Yu Baihu immediately stepped forward to report.
"Where is the king's wine?" Wang Zhongquan looked at Yu Baihu.
"Don't worry, sir. This time, we checked the king's wine several times, and my subordinate finally checked it himself!" Yu Baihu confirmed.
"Well, come out!" Wang Zhongquan asked the green-clad guards to stand aside.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Yu Baihu asked in confusion.
"You guys, go in and check again!" Wang Zhongquan pointed at another team of Tsing Yi guards.
"Sir, we have checked everything!" Yu Baihu suddenly looked anxious.
However, Wang Zhongquan ignored it, and another team of green-clothed guards entered without paying attention. Soon, an exclamation came from the hall.
"Ah!" A guard in green foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground. In an instant, his intestines were pierced and his belly was rotten and he died.
"Sir, the king's wine is poisonous!" A voice shouted in the hall.
Wang Zhongquan's expression suddenly changed: "Take it!"
Over there, Yu Baihu wanted to escape, but he was caught in the blink of an eye.
"Ha, ha, ha, Yu Yu, you are so brave. Who asked you to poison the king? And you actually framed Uncle Zhao! If it weren't for Zhang Ru... If it wasn't for my own evil intentions, You almost succeeded, huh!" Wang Zhongquan said coldly.
"Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me, subordinate, subordinate...!" Yu Baihu showed a look of horror.
"Say!" Wang Zhongquan stepped on Baihu's shoulder.
"I don't know who it is. I owed a gambling debt not long ago. I couldn't bear the debt collection. Then someone found me and gave me five million spiritual stones. Let me...! He also said , will help me frame Uncle Zhao, the key is also... Uncle Zhao and his father-in-law were also knocked down by that person, I, I got obsessed, and...!" Yu Baihu trembled.
Wang Zhongquan's eyelids twitched wildly, and he instantly discovered that there was such a loophole in the Tsing Yi Guard. After this incident, it must be cleaned up.
"Take him down and interrogate him!" Wang Zhongquan said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The other Qingyi guards responded.
"Go and invite Uncle Zhao out!" Wang Zhongquan said impatiently.
What a risk, what a risk. Uncle Zhao is an old man in the palace, how could he harm the king? It's all his fault for inviting the assholes!
Not long after, Uncle Zhao was vindicated and released.
Wang Zhongquan even went there in person to apologize to Uncle Zhao. After all, Uncle Zhao is also an old man in the palace. Starting from Wang Hong, the old Dongfang Palace has eaten the food he cooked. Although he does not have much power, the king still misses the old relationship.
"General Manager, I'm fine. You don't need to apologize to me. It's fine as long as the king is fine. It's time for you to thoroughly investigate the Tsing Yi Guards. The king has entrusted his safety to your protection, but...!" Uncle Zhao sighed.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao, I will set up a special supervision department of Qingyi Guards!" A murderous look flashed in Wang Zhongquan's eyes.
"Leave the matter of the banquet to me. This time, I will definitely review it carefully and there will never be any mistakes. Previously, when Yu Baihu was monitoring my drinking, he deliberately poisoned it and then framed me? He is worried that the poison he has poisoned will be found out by others again, so in order to gain your trust, he is made the person in charge of the inspection of this banquet. In this way, if he poisons, no one will check again. . Humph, your Qing Yi Guardsmen must stop spying out spies!" Uncle Zhao sighed.
"No, Uncle Zhao, don't worry, this banquet is all up to you. Also, the banquet is about to begin, look...!"
"Who knows if there is any problem with the other drinks and food? I have to make arrangements again. I can't ask for any more drinks or food in this hall!" Uncle Zhao said solemnly.
"Yeah!" Wang Zhongquan nodded.
After Wang Zhongquan rearranged the arrangement, the imperial kitchen once again processed and prepared more quickly. At Yu Baihu's side, although the interrogation had not reached the end, Wang Zhongquan still took a deep breath and went to the study to report to Wang Xiong.
Not long after, when Wang Xiong was correcting the memorial in his study, Wang Zhongquan reported everything.
"Oh? Someone poisoned him and wanted to assassinate me?" Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes and put down his brush.
At the same time, in the imperial dining room, Uncle Zhao watched Wang Zhongquan leave with an imperceptible sneer on his lips.
