king of war

Chapter 84 Reversal

With a sullen face, Wang An stepped over the corpses of Dongchang fans all over the floor, as if he hadn't seen the bloody scene, walked to the chair beside him, lifted his robe and sat down.

"Attacking Dongchang and kidnapping an official of the imperial court are both capital crimes." As soon as Wang Ang sat down, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Qin Qianhu, what on earth are you going to do?"

Wang An took the lead in mastering the rhythm of the conversation as soon as he came in, and did not give Qin Rongshuai a chance to ramble.

Qin Rongshuai just smiled and said, "They said that I poisoned the emperor. Do you believe it, my lord?"

"Poison?!" Wang An opened his eyes, "Who said that?"

"Sure enough, Dongchang did this without telling you." Qin Rongshuai continued to smile, "Eunuch, your subordinates have done a lot of things behind their backs without telling you."

"They rushed into the Beizhen Fusi yamen this morning, saying that they took your handbook and wanted to arrest me and Lu Zhen Fushi. The charge was forming a party to plot treason and poisoning the emperor."

"I don't want to say anything else, just ask, say that Qin Rong poisoned His Majesty, do you believe it?"

"These bastards!" Wang An slapped the table fiercely and cursed.

From Zhu Changluo's serious illness to Qin Rongshuai's rescue of Zhu Changluo, Wang An has been outside the palace the whole time, and he knows what happened best.

"As soon as I entered the Dongchang dungeon, Commander Zheng wanted to kill me and silence me. I don't know why." Qin Rongshuai took out a few official documents from his arms, "But when I was arrested, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple both issued documents. I have received the official document, father-in-law, please take a look, the charges written on it are forming a clique and conspiring to rebel, poisoning and regicide."

Wang An's face was terrifyingly gloomy. He reached out and took the official documents, his face getting darker and darker as he looked at them.

"And I haven't seen my father-in-law's handbook from the beginning to the end, so I want to ask my father-in-law." Qin Rongshuai looked directly at Wang An, "Elder-in-law, did you write this in your handbook?"

Wang Gonggong didn't answer, but asked instead: "Where is Zheng An now?"

"Headmaster Zheng is in the dungeon now. He is fine, but he was a little frightened." Qin Rongshuai smiled, "I, Qin Rong, can guarantee that I have never tortured them."

Wang An stared at Qin Rongshuai, and slowly said: "They said that the emperor is sick, but Qin Qianhu, you have superb medical skills, you must know something inside, so I came to ask you."

"Your Majesty is really poisoned?"

"It is indeed poisoned."

"Someone deliberately murdered?"

"It wasn't clear before, but now I'm very sure." Qin Rongshuai said seriously, "They must kill me today to silence me, so someone must have deliberately poisoned me."

Wang An was startled and angry, "Who the hell? Is it Zheng Taifei?"

Qin Rongshuai shook his head, "I also suspected that it was Taifei Zheng who did it at first, because Cui Wensheng belonged to Concubine Zheng, but I don't think it was necessarily them."

"Why?" Wang An was a little puzzled.

"Because there is a problem with the method they adopted." Qin Rongshuai explained, "Using diarrhea to take advantage of the emperor's weakness, this trick seems vicious, but there are too many loopholes. The most important thing is that diarrhea does not necessarily kill people."

"Since we are going to kill the king and seek rebellion, why not choose a safer method? If the emperor survives, then they are in a catastrophe? Why don't they just choose to poison, and insist on unnecessary actions."

"If they were poisoning, they would have no chance. Cui Wensheng only prescribed prescriptions. Different people were responsible for dispensing, decocting, and even feeding the medicine to His Majesty. Moreover, before His Majesty took the medicine, the envoy Lu Zhen would personally taste it. "

"Then who did it?" Wang An asked with a gloomy face.

"I don't know who it is." Qin Rongshuai said with a smile, "Wang Gonggong, if you directly ask who is the murderer today, it will be difficult for me to answer, because I have not investigated this case, so I can't frame it out of thin air."

"But I can tell you all the things I know, and then you can judge for yourself, my lord."

Wang An nodded, very satisfied with Qin Rongshuai's words, "Speak."

"Your Majesty was extremely weak after the diarrhea continued, but he was not in a coma. There is another reason for His Majesty's coma." Qin Rongshuai asked suddenly, "Your Majesty called Li Kezhuo, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, to meet him. Do you know why?"

Wang An was taken aback, "I know that Li Kezhuo entered the palace to face the saint, and he has something to do with this matter?"

"It has a very big relationship." Qin Rongshuai nodded and said, "At that time, Li Kezhuo was meeting His Majesty with the chief assistant of the cabinet, Mr. Fang. At that time, Li Kezhuo offered His Majesty an elixir, and His Majesty felt refreshed after eating it. Three days later, Li Kezhuo presented the elixir for the second time, and His Majesty fell into a coma after taking it."

Wang An angrily slapped the table and stood up, "Bold Li Kezhuo actually murdered the Holy One, come here!"

"Elder-in-law, please be calm and don't be impatient." Qin Rongshuai stopped Wang An, "It's not too late to arrest him after you have listened to what you have said."

Wang An suppressed his anger this time, sat down again, and said with a livid face: "You continue to talk."

"The elixir offered by Li Kezhuo is not poisonous, and Qin can't check it." Qin Rongshuai continued, "But how did your majesty know how he, a small Honglu Temple, was known to you?"

"Bold!" Wang An said with a sullen face, "Qin Rong, are you alluding to Mr. Fang Ge?"

"No, no." Qin Rongshuai shook his head very calmly, "Mr. Fang Ge has nothing to do with this matter, because Mr. Fang Ge doesn't know Li Kezhuo either, and he also obeyed His Majesty's order to bring Li Kezhuo into the palace. .”

"Don't you think it's strange? Elder Fang Ge doesn't know Li Kezhuo. His Majesty has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and even civil and military officials may not recognize all of them. Why would he know about a Honglu Temple? And he also knows that he has an elixir. ?”

"Then someone close to His Majesty must have mentioned it or even encouraged His Majesty to take the elixir."

"Wang Gonggong, you are the head of the inner court. If there is such a thing, you can definitely find out if you want to."

Wang An's face was very ugly, "Qin Qianhu, are you slapping our family in the face?"

"Understood dare not!"

"Our family doesn't know that His Majesty has taken the elixir, so why should he be called the Chamberlain? Hum!" Wang An gritted his teeth, "Okay, the palace really has a group of good slaves."

Qin Rongshuai didn't say anything at this time, letting Wang An figure it out on his own.

Wang An thought for a while, and then asked: "Master Qin, do you think this Li Kezhuo is the murderer?"

"Elder-in-law, as I said just now, I don't know who is who and who is not. I am only responsible for telling what I know." Qin Rongshuai didn't answer, "Did Li Kezhuo know, did he poison himself, or Someone changed the elixir, it's easy to find out, even who Li Kezhuo has close contacts with can't hide it from Dongchang and Jinyiwei."

"Father-in-law, let's put Li Kezhuo aside first." Qin Rongshuai said suddenly, "What I want to talk about is another matter. Three months ago, Jin Yiwei received a strange case."

Then Qin Rongshuai recounted the murder case in the restaurant in detail.

"The dead Cui Bizhong used to be the steward of the imperial dining room. Whether he had anything to do with Cui Wensheng can be found out. But the biggest doubt in this case lies in Cui Bizhong's wound."

"The others died of knife wounds, while Cui Bizhong died of sword wounds. He was tortured before his death. It is obviously impossible for the Zheng family to kill and silence him. Then the murderer must be another group of people. What exactly did these people ask?"

"Three months later, Cui Wensheng prescribed a dose of medicine to His Majesty, and His Majesty fell ill."

Wang An narrowed his eyes, "Qin Qianhu, what exactly do you want to say?"

"I checked the sword masters in the capital. Coincidentally, one is Yang Lian's guard, one is Zuo Guangdou's housekeeper, and the other is Zou Yuanbiao Zou's guard." Qin Rongshuai Looking at Wang An with a smile, "These adults and fathers-in-law must be no strangers, I heard that these are friends with you."

Wang An suddenly stood up and stared at Qin Rongshuai closely, "Bold Qin Rong! It is a capital crime to frame an important official of the imperial court!"

"Father, I didn't frame a few adults." Qin Rongshuai didn't panic at all and said with a smile, "I just told what I knew. I didn't testify against anything."

Wang An's face turned blue and white, and finally he seemed to have lost his strength, and he sat down slowly.

"I boldly speculate that the sword master must have known some people's plan from Cui Bizhong's mouth, so these people followed their plan and planned to get some benefits here." Qin Rongshuai continued while the iron was hot, "As for what it is Good thing, if something happens to His Majesty, Elder Fang Ge will definitely become the target of public criticism, and at that time, Elder Fang Ge will either resign or go to prison, and the position of chief assistant in the cabinet will be vacant."

"Absurd! Bastard!" Wang An couldn't help but cursed. He didn't know whether he was scolding Qin Rongshuai or some courtiers.

"But seeing that His Majesty is fine, some people couldn't bear it anymore, or they had no choice but to attack, but unexpectedly Cui Wensheng pulled his crotch, so they did it themselves." Qin Rongshuai was not affected at all, and continued on. Said unhurriedly.

"To be disrespectful, no matter who is the emperor, the official can still be an official, and they even wish to have another meritorious support."

"But father-in-law, you are different. You belong to His Majesty."

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, and Wang An realized it immediately.He wanted to make friends with the court officials, and also wanted to make a career and be famous in history, like Zheng He and Feng Bao, but who knew that the court was so sinister.

Wang An's expression changed, as if he was making another decision. After a long time, he said quietly, "Is there any evidence for this?"

"There are confessions from officials from Dali Temple, Ministry of Criminal Justice, Yushi, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei." Qin Rongshuai then threw another blockbuster and handed it to Wang An.

Wang An was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Being tortured into a trick is not convincing enough!"

"How can the prince defile people's innocence out of thin air!" Qin Rongshuai looked innocent, "I didn't beat them, it was because they were inspired by the charisma of the subordinate officials and voluntarily confessed."

Wang An was stunned for a moment, "Really?"

"My father-in-law, please take a look." As he said this, Qin Rongshuai led Wang An into the dungeon and asked him to see the officials one by one.

Wang An saw that the few people were in a trance, and there was no scar on their bodies, so he nodded in satisfaction, "Master Qin, good trick!"

Qin Rongshuai smiled shyly, "It's nothing more than a trivial skill, my father-in-law deserves the prize."

Wang An didn't speak, but looked at Qin Rongshuai for a long time before saying, "How can you be sure that I didn't order you to kill you?"

"It's very simple. Those who want to kill me and frame me for rebellion must really want to harm His Majesty." Qin Rongshuai replied, "Everyone can harm His Majesty, but your prince is the least likely to do so. "

"So as soon as they charged me, I knew that they would kill me to silence me. As for His Majesty's poisoning, except for the person who actually poisoned me and me, the imperial physicians didn't know about it."

Wang An sighed, "I am afraid that there are only you and me who are loyal to His Majesty and have no second thoughts."

Qin Rongshuai did not dare to accept this, so he could only salute him.

Wang An turned around and walked out, withdrew all the soldiers and horses around Dongchang, and went straight to Fang Congzhe's house, and the two talked until late at night.

Fang Congzhe entered the palace overnight, and then asked for the emperor's decree, ordering Dongchang and Jinyiwei to arrest the rebels.

The whole capital city was covered with dark clouds, countless captains of the Jinyi Guards, and members of Dongchang were dispatched everywhere, breaking down the gates of the courtiers one by one, and arresting people according to the list with driving cards and chains.

The capital fell into chaos again.
