If you want others not to know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself.
Tantai Li's comprehensive search finally paid off, but unfortunately he found four cold corpses, which looked like they had been dead for a long time.
The four people died in exactly the same way. The black blood flowing out of the seven orifices attracted some poisonous insects to eat, but fortunately, their progress was not so fast that the deceased was beyond recognition.
Tantai Li has asked a painter to draw their faces, hoping that someone can give some clues. There is no news that they are dead, and it may be able to lure snakes out of their holes.
Wan Qiliang had seen these dead bodies before Tantai Li. The poison they were poisoned with was not very common. It was rare and precious. It needed to be refined seven or seventy-nine times to get even one drop. It was indeed a pleasant death, but At the same time, his identity was exposed.
If Tantai Li continues to pursue the poison, he should be able to narrow the scope, but he can't guarantee whether Tantai Jing will directly blame others. I think he had imagined the consequences when he planned to do these things. Wan Qiliang was very much looking forward to him. What kind of counterattack.
In fact, although this incident was related to Tantai Jing, he was not the initiator. He had an idea at the time but did not have the courage. In the end, it was what the stranger said to him that made him make up his mind.
Having been subordinate to others for so many years has really worn down his fighting spirit for a while, and he once wanted to live a mediocre life like this. Although at his current age, it is reasonable to do anything, but the knot in his heart for so many years In the past, he really wanted to let go.
Thinking of the time when they were so young that they didn’t understand anything. No matter what happened at that time, it was nothing in their eyes. It seemed that nothing could defeat them. But as they get older, everything they want to know can be achieved. More and more, desires begin to expand, and the heart is not as pure as before.
Sometimes, Tantai Jing also reflected on himself, why did he become like this? What happened to turn him into this? As he walked further and further down an endless road, he really couldn't see the end, and he didn't know what his final outcome would be.
Whether it is unfounded worries or leisurely contentment, Tantai Jing has experienced it all. Up to now, he no longer knows what he wants. Maybe it is the highest position of power, because when he hears it, he will still be moved and have plans, so when that When the stranger made the offer, he agreed.
Now that things have come to this, even if he wants to turn back, it is already too late. Tantai Li and Tantai Ming will not let him go. Since the murders began, he had almost no sleep at night. The reason why he did not help investigate these cases was because he was afraid of seeing their deaths and that they would come to settle accounts with him in their dreams.
Tantai Jing was walking around in his palace. If he disappeared now, it would obviously arouse suspicion, but he personally planted the poison. Those four people were very neat in killing people, but they were not smart. So it was very easy for him to get started, but before he could dispose of the body, Tantai Li came with his men. He didn't know how long it would take Tantai Li to trace the matter to him. It would be better for him to take a preemptive strike and turn his passivity into an initiative.
Tantai Ming didn't know why Tantai Jing suddenly asked for a meeting. He had a bad feeling in his heart, but he hoped that he was just paranoid. He believed that Tantai Jing would not do anything to him, but this time he was really wrong. .
"How are you doing, brother Huang? I've been feeling unwell lately and haven't come to see brother Huang. Brother, please don't blame me." Tantai Jing went to the palace before Tantai Li came back. After all, two against one, he The chances of winning are not great.
"Brother Jing, what are you talking about? Does Brother Jing look like such a stingy person?" Tantai Ming smiled slightly and looked very familiar, but it was this familiarity that made the atmosphere between them so special. It's weird.
"As the king of a country, the emperor is certainly not a stingy person, so I dare to come and disturb the emperor."
"You and I, brothers, don't bother me if you have anything to do. If you say that again, you're out of touch."
"Brother Huang said that it was my brother who was not thinking well. Brother Huang, don't blame me." Tantai Jing didn't want to talk nonsense to Tantai Ming. His attitude towards him had not changed much from before, always hiding his superiority and dignity. Disdain, he has had enough of this kind of life.
Tantai Ming felt something strange about Tantai Jing, but he couldn't tell where it was, so he could only observe it first. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move.
"Brother, why are you looking at me like this? Do you think you don't even know me since I haven't been in the palace for a long time?" Maybe it's too late to realize something is wrong now. Tantai Ming smiled, so much that Tantai laughed. Ming felt furious.
"How could I not know my brother? Are you complaining?" Tantai Ming said as he moved a few steps towards the table. His sword was hanging on the wall next to the table. Come just in case.
"When did the emperor really understand my brother? However, I know the emperor's current physical condition very well. Does the emperor feel weak all over?"
It was okay if Tantai Jing didn't say it. When he did, Tantai Ming's feeling became even stronger. He didn't want to associate his abnormality with Tantai Jing's body, but now it seemed that he had to associate it with Tantai Jing or he could directly confirm it.
"What did you do to me?" Tantai Ming put one hand on the table. The feeling of weakness invaded his whole body, and he seemed to have no strength to even speak.
"Brother Huang, there is no need to be so nervous. Even the title has changed. I just want to ask Brother Huang to move to a different place to stay for a while. I wonder what Brother Huang wants?" Tantai Jing walked towards Tantai Ming, one hand was enough to hold him. He fell directly to the ground, looking so embarrassed.
"You want to rebel? Do you think you can walk out of this door alive?" After being a leader for so long, he still has some power, but in this case, it feels like Tantai Ming is a joke.
"Brother Huang is still joking. Do you think someone will come to save you? Besides, who would doubt me if I go out alone?" Tantai Jing could not have blatantly taken Tantai Ming out. If he had the courage, If so, I'm afraid everything he wanted to do would have been successful long ago.
"You... you are treasonous. How could I let you live until now?"
"Brother Huang has been trying to get rid of my brother for a long time. Why hasn't he taken action yet? Not to mention taking into account brotherhood, he probably thinks that he is not a threat, right?" Tantai Jing can now There was nothing to worry about, but he didn't expect that something bad would happen halfway. Queen Lian asked for a meeting. If she didn't meet, the woman would be suspicious. Apart from Tantai Li, there was only one person he was concerned about, Lian.
"Did the emperor's sister-in-law come to see the emperor for something? The emperor is reviewing the memorial inside." Tantai Jing did not have a good impression of Lian. This woman appeared gentle and gentle on the surface, but in fact she was too strong. In the harem, Many women in the country lost their children or even their lives because of her. Even he admired such duplicity.
"I have stewed something to bring to the Emperor. If the Emperor is busy, can you please ask Prince Jing to help me bring it to the Emperor?" Lian has an amazing talent in reading people's faces, and Tantai Jing clearly doesn't want her to come. Excuse me, she doesn't have to ask for trouble, maybe the emperor will blame her.
"My brother is happy to oblige." Tantai Jing took all the things and watched Lian Shi leave. Nothing has gone wrong now, but he can't guarantee whether anyone will disturb him again in the future.
"Your queen really loves you very much. Look, this is what she sent you." Tantai Jing put the things down. Tantai Ming is now unable to move or speak, and his body is extremely numb and uncomfortable. Just waiting bitterly for Tantai Ming.
"Brother Huang has not seen my brother so truly for a long time. I don't know who became hypocritical first, but now my brother is in my hands. I don't want my brother's life yet. But my brother needs the emperor’s position, so if the emperor agrees, just blink.”
Tantai Jing said this, but he also knew how could Tantai Ming agree? Now he can only hope that Tantai Li will appear soon to take him out of this predicament. But when things developed to this point, he was too negligent. How could he forget Tantai Jing's wolfish ambition? It was really his big mistake to keep him until now!
"My brother knows that the emperor will not agree. The emperor is waiting for Tantai Li to rescue you, right? But now he is trapped by my people and will not come. The emperor is dead. Tiao Xin, it’s better to pass the throne to your younger brother honestly, otherwise I can’t guarantee what may happen to my younger brother.” Tantai Jing took out the dagger he was wearing and waved it in front of Tantai Ming’s eyes. This is what the emperor gave to my younger brother. It is really as good as iron. Do you want to give it a try?"
This dagger has been with Tantai Jing for five years. In the past five years, he did not know how many people's blood was stained on it, so now it looks thicker and has a sense of vicissitudes of life. He is very satisfied.
Tantai Ming watched the tip of the knife dangling in front of his eyes. He wanted to hide, but his body had no strength at all. He didn't know if the dagger would really leave any traces on his body, but he knew that this time Tantai Jing definitely meant it. He had a narrow escape from death.
"How long does the emperor have to think about before he agrees to pass the throne to his younger brother? In other words, the emperor wants to suffer some physical pain before he knows what to do." Tantai Jing had no intention of hurting Tantai Ming, so he took it out. The dagger was just to scare him, but it seemed that Tantai Ming wouldn't compromise. In this case, he still had time to spend time with him.
On the other side, Tantai Li was still pursuing the clues deliberately left by Tantai Jing. It was a deserted wilderness with no trace of people, and then he realized that he had fallen into the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
