Fang Shaojian did not leave the capital.
He just created the illusion that he had left the capital, and then secretly lurked and hid in the densely populated Nancheng.
He presents himself as a merchant selling porcelain.
The shop is in Nancheng and has been in business for many years. The guys are all familiar old people.
This porcelain shop is one of his multiple strongholds in the capital.
In the morning, he held a teacup and sat in the yard basking in the sun.
The shopkeeper came in to deliver water, and said in a low voice, "The Jinwu Guards are still surrounding the Chu Palace."
"Ok!"
"The concubine saved the king of Chu, and the king of Chu was ordered to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors. The concubine is now detained in Zongzheng Temple, waiting to be released."
Fang Shaojian nodded.
"Young Master Zhao has not given up on hunting down his master."
In the shop, everyone called Fang Shaojian the boss.
Fang Shaojian smiled coldly, "Liu Zhao is a wolf with ambition, so we have to teach him a lesson. But the timing is not right now, let's wait until the turmoil passes."
"The boss has no other orders, so the younger one will go out and do some work first."
"carry on."
Fang Shaojian is leisurely and leisurely, planning to wait for the turmoil to pass before showing up.
Liu Zhao sat in the teahouse with a serious expression on his face.
The guards stood in a row, not daring to breathe.
Liu Zhao said in a cold voice: "It is now certain that Fang Shaojian is hiding in the city. Last time, he was wanted in the palace. He turned into the owner of the cloth village and hid in the backyard of the shop.
This time, he is likely to repeat his old tricks and still lurk in the name of the shop owner.
My son has already contacted various industry chambers of commerce and is preparing to conduct a preliminary investigation.
You all have to watch carefully, all the shops where the owner of the shop is not there on weekdays, but the shop owner suddenly popped up recently, are the key screening targets.
Screening is not limited to industries. Fang Shaojian is old and cunning, he must have prepared many sets of identities. Once the order is clear, let's go and do it quickly. "
"Obey!"
The guards left the teahouse.
Qian Fu followed Liu Zhao, "The old slave analyzed Fang Shaojian's habits and hobbies in recent years, his personality and handling of affairs. Nancheng has the largest population and is full of mid-to-low-end shops. It is the best place to hide his identity. There is a high possibility that Fang Shaojian is hiding in Nancheng .”
Liu Zhao said: "It's not enough. There are millions of people in Nancheng alone, so the scope of investigation must be narrowed down."
"If you want to check all industries and all shops, it's best to use Madam's help."
"The madam sent a hundred men to help. These men have been active in the business world for a long time and are familiar with the situation in Nancheng. I will entrust these men to you, and you will take them to investigate."
"The old slave complies."
…
Time passed day by day.
The Dachaoyi quarreled for three or five days, but there was no result.
The public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right.
Everyone has selfishness.
The emperor was noncommittal about the quarrel among the courtiers.
Except for the first day of the court meeting, the emperor showed up for two hours. In the next few days of the court meeting, the emperor did not show up.
Gradually, some people realized that the emperor did not need to discuss who should be appointed as the crown prince. The emperor's move was mainly to delay time.
In the palace, there was a silent cleaning, and the bloody wind was covered under the table. This is the truth.
Some courtiers thought they had been deceived and wanted to ask the emperor for an explanation.
More people turned their attention from the court to the palace.
Many familiar people in the past have disappeared, have they been arrested, or are they already dead
No one can tell.
And Chu Palace, what's going on
The guards killed Liang Di of the Wangfu, could it be that there is an eclectic plot happening? Could it be that the guard had an affair with the Prince's Concubine Liang
Regardless of the era, people are always interested in this kind of gossip between men and women.
Even when there is no shadow, you can talk with nose and eyes, which is killing people, and in a blink of an eye, with the background of the Chu Palace, you can make up ten or twenty versions with eclectic plots.
No matter which version, the green hat on King Chu's head is secure.
When the king of Chu heard the discussions in the streets, he was half-deadly angry.
How can these civil servants and military generals gossip like gossips in the market.
It's just outrageous.
Saying that he wears a cuckold, is there any evidence
Obviously it was Xie Shiji who hated the Gu family, that's why he killed Gu Yue on impulse.
Why did it become Gu Yue cuckolding him when it came into the mouth of a literati
Why
The king of Chu was very annoyed.
"Come here, follow me to visit Gu Liangdi."
Gu Yue did not die.
Thanks to Xie Shi's knife, he avoided the vital point, coupled with the timely treatment by the imperial physician, Gu Yue saved his life.
She was lying on the bed, thinking about that scene all the time. The few seconds in total were replayed by her over and over again, never missing every detail.
Especially at the end, what Xie Shi said in his ear, "I'm sorry, I'm also following orders." What exactly does it mean
Who did Xie Shi order to kill her
Who in the palace wants to kill her
Just when Gu Yue was thinking about it, the door curtain was raised, and King Chu walked in.
The king of Chu was against the light, Gu Yue blinked, and after getting used to it, he could see the other party's appearance clearly.
The king of Chu looked haggard, with a sloppy beard, and he hadn't taken care of it for an unknown number of days.
"My lord?"
Enduring the pain from the wound, Gu Yue sat up and leaned against the head of the bed.
King Chu stared at her with complicated eyes, without saying a word.
Gu Yue suddenly felt uneasy.
The prince just looked at her and didn't speak, what do you mean
"What's wrong with the prince? Are you worried about the mother and concubine? The mother and concubine will return safely."
The concubine that Gu Yue was talking about was naturally the concubine Sun.
The concubine Sun was imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple, so the situation will naturally not be good. No wonder the king of Chu looked haggard.
King Chu sat down on the round stool beside the bed, "Why did Xie Shi kill you?"
Gu Yue looked weak and aggrieved, "I don't even know about it."
The king of Chu looked indifferent, "Some people say that you have an affair, and Xie Shi killed you because love gave birth to hatred."
Gu Yue's heart stopped beating at this moment, and her whole body froze.
The muscles in her face were twitching.
It took a long time for her to make a sound, "What is the prince talking about? Who is making up rumors to slander me?"
"Do you have an affair with Xie Shi?" King Chu asked.
"Of course not." Gu Yue suddenly reacted and roared loudly.
She cried and shouted: "Who is harming me? Who is it? I almost died in the hands of Xie Shi, and then I was slandered by rumors. Who is so vicious. Lord, you must believe me, I am innocent Yes."
"Whether you are innocent or not, this king will find out." The king of Chu was still indifferent.
Gu Yue was heartbroken, covered her heart, and looked breathless, "I am willing to be a concubine for the sake of the prince. Doesn't this prove that I am sincere to the prince? Given my family background, I could have married She's a good family, and she's a decent young mistress. But in the end, I chose the prince because my heart was already on him."
Gu Yue was shouting and aggrieved.
She hung her head and wept, very pitiful.
However, it failed to impress the king of Chu.
The King of Chu said to her: "Heal your wounds well, and I will come to see you sometime later."
After speaking, King Chu got up and left.
Gu Yue was heartbroken and burst into tears.
The King of Chu walked out of the courtyard and ordered his confidants, "Go to the Jinwu Guard for this king, ask Xie Shi for this king, and ask him why he wanted to kill Gu Liangdi."
"The old slave complies."
The King of Chu was unwilling to believe that Gu Yue would cuckold him, and he hoped to hear a different answer from Xie Shi.
Xie Shi did not disappoint King Chu and gave him a different answer.
"What did you say? Xie Shi was ordered by Fang Shaojian to kill Gu Liangdi?"
The king of Chu was stunned, how could this happen.
"Xie Shi did indeed say that. He also said that even the dagger was given to him by Fang Shaojian himself."
The King of Chu frowned, "Did Xie Shi say why Fang Shaojian wanted to kill Gu Liangdi?"
The confidant servant shook his head, "Xie Shi said that he doesn't know Fang Shaojian's intentions either. Your lord, maybe the concubine knows the truth."
King Chu walked up and down in the study, still unable to understand Fang Shaojian's intention of ordering Xie Shi to kill.
"Tomorrow, I will go to Zongzheng Temple with the king. The king wants to meet the concubine mother."
Early the next morning, the King of Chu came to Zongzheng Temple in a carriage. After going through the formalities, he successfully met the concubine Sun.
Concubine Sun's appearance was not damaged, her aura remained undiminished, and she was as tough and sharp as ever.
It's just that the body is thick and looks a little bloated.
Zongzheng Temple has no ground dragon to burn, and there is only a brazier in the house, emitting a little bit of pitiful heat.
It's too cold to death, so I can only wear all the thick clothes on my body.
"The concubine is suffering."
"Didn't the Jinwu guard keep an eye on the palace?"
"Most of the Jinwu Guards have retreated, leaving only a few people guarding the door."
Concubine Sun nodded, "That's fine. Don't worry, this turmoil will pass soon, and you won't be implicated."
The King of Chu frowned, "My son has something unclear, I hope the mother and concubine can clear up his doubts for him."
Concubine Sun laughed, "Did you already know that Xie Shi was ordered to kill Gu Yue?"
"Mother concubine really knows about this. Xie Shi said that he was ordered by Fang Shaojian to kill people, and my son thought about it all night, but he didn't understand Fang Shaojian's intentions. Please mother concubine tell my son the truth."
Concubine Sun raised her eyebrows and smiled, "The truth is, at this time, the Prince of Chu's mansion needs a disturbance, and it would be best if it would cause heated discussions in the city."
The King of Chu looked confused, "I don't understand."
Grand Concubine Sun sighed, "I'm the same prisoner as Fang, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape this time. But you are different, you are clean, you can escape.
Xie Shi was ordered to kill Gu Yue, why there are so many rumors outside, because Xie Shi and Gu Yue are cousins, it is easy to be drawn into the relationship between men and women.
In the current situation outside, everyone is more concerned about the relationship between men and women than why the Chu Palace was besieged by Jin Wuwei.
This is the guidance of public opinion and the guidance of people. Don't underestimate this little bit of people's hearts, he will affect His Majesty's judgment.
Because of the series of chaos caused by Xie Shi's killing of Gu Yue, and the love between men and women after that, you are a victim in the eyes of the world.
You are the direct son of Prince Renxuan, and His Majesty is indebted to the Prince, coupled with those raging rumors, His Majesty is willing to give up pursuing your responsibility. "
"My responsibility?" King Chu didn't understand.
