Chapter 284 Finally playing smarter
The emperor had told Mr. Chen before that he could start a massacre in the Liu Palace twenty years ago, but now he can still do it in Chang'an City. It has not been long since the last massacre of His Majesty, Dai Fangzhou thought that something big would happen tonight, but until he entered Haoting Villa, His Majesty still had no signs of a massacre. Instead, he squatted shoulder to shoulder with Shen Leng to eat a bowl of noodles.
The Imperial Army General Dan Tai Yuanshu and a large group of people stood in Shen Leng's small courtyard. The supposedly quiet night seemed crowded.
The emperor stood up and walked to the door to stop by himself. The sound of the chair legs being dragged on the floor seemed so harsh.
So Dan Tai Yuan Shu knew that something was going to happen tonight.
The last time His Majesty's expression was like this, because Meng Chang'an. That time, there were enough people who killed outside the criminal department, and finally people remember that His Majesty was from a military background. Killing people has never had any psychological barriers to His Majesty.
Although the lights were not bright this time, Dan Tai Yuan Shu clearly saw His Majesty's face became even colder.
"Who is Wang Quansheng?"
The emperor sat down and asked in a plain tone, but Dan Tai Yuan Shu's heart tightened a little, because Wang Quansheng was his person.
"I'm here."
Wang Quansheng, the fifth-rank general of the Imperial Guard, hurried out from the crowd. Because His Majesty Daning said that the soldiers would not kneel when they saw the king with armor, so he quickly stepped forward. Although he did not kneel, his upper body pressed a lot and bowed deeply: "I am Wang Quansheng."
The emperor looked up and down at this soldier who looked in his thirties. He had the temperament that all the soldiers of Daning had. In this world, the soldiers of Daning were of different temperaments from those of any country.
"You ordered to capture alive?"
The emperor asked.
Because the question was a bit abrupt, Wang Quansheng was stunned for a moment before he realized that what His Majesty asked about the female assassin before. At that time, the people from the Tingwei Mansion wanted to kill them directly, but he did not allow it, because he even had a quarrel with the people from the Tingwei Mansion and almost started to take action.
"It was ordered by the minister."
“Why?”
"The origin is unknown, so we must not ignore it."
When Wang Quansheng heard His Majesty ask why, he finally understood that he might have done something wrong, but at this moment he found that he could not explain anything, because he did what he thought he should do, which was also what he should do under normal circumstances. However, it seems that many things should not be normal now.
"The origin is unknown."
The emperor repeated these four words, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and Dan Tai Yuan Shu, who had been secretly looking at his expression, knew that it was going to be broken and His Majesty was going to kill someone.
The emperor raised his hand and pointed it at Wang Quansheng: "Put him..."
After saying these two words, the emperor suddenly stopped, his eyes dazed, and his hand stopped in the air. Wang Quansheng was standing there. The emperor seemed to be suddenly thinking, but Wang Quansheng began to tremble, and sweat couldn't stop flowing down his forehead, and the same was true on his body. His clothes were quickly wet with sweat.
"This old thing."
The emperor put down his hand and said something inexplicably.
The blurred vision became clear before. The emperor took a short time to determine some things and sorted out some clues. So he looked at Wang Quansheng and asked something he had not planned to ask: "Have you tried that assassin?"
"It is the duty of the minister to arrest her, and the judgement is not the duty of the minister. I dare not go beyond the Daning regulations to do things."
The emperor's expression then became more relaxed, and he thought for a while and confirmed that he was not wrong. Then he said to Dai Fangzhou: "What did I tell you before."
What's coming?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened?"
"About She Xinlou."
"Surprising illness, a grand funeral, a heavy reward, and a local government to take care of it."
"Has the will been declared?"
"Your Majesty, it's not dawn yet."
"Okay, go and throw the old dog's body to the chasm in the mountains. You are not allowed to use a straw mat for him. Go and call Han Huazhi. I have something to tell him and send an order to the local government in She Xinlou's hometown to check whether he has secretly sent a lot of money to his home over the years."
The emperor looked at Wang Quansheng: "It's nothing more, Dan Tai stays, you all retreat."
Everyone was ashamed of a general amnesty and bowed and then bowed and left.
Dan Tai Yuan Shu leaned over carefully, still lowering his head and waiting for His Majesty to speak.
"I almost fell into that old guy's plan."
The emperor still looked not so good, but he was also relieved and slightly proud.
"I haven't raised a dog for twenty years. Before I die, I still thought of biting a bite on me. If I bite this bite, it would hurt my muscles and bones."
Dan Tai Yuanshu asked: "Who is Your Majesty talking about?"
"She Xinlou."
The emperor looked at Dai Fangzhou and said, "You go out."
Dai Fangzhou left quickly, not daring to delay for a second. When the old eunuch She Xinlou took him, he once said that Your Majesty's eyes can see through everything in the world. Don't think that you can hide your mind if you are smart. Your Majesty can't hide anything you want. Although he doubts about this sentence, he always reminds yourself not to forget that if you want to replace She Xinlou's position in the future, you must remember this sentence more firmly.
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
Dan Tai Yuan Shu asked.
The emperor looked at Shen Leng carrying the tea tray and teapot and pointed at him. So Shen Leng directly carried the stone table in the yard and placed it at the door. Dan Tai Yuan Shu looked at the young man with his eyes narrowed and thought to himself, are you sick? There is a tea table in the room, which is just a matter of taking two more steps, but for Shen Leng, taking two more steps is meaningless.
Shen Leng put the tea tray on the stone table, poured a cup of tea for the emperor and Dan Tai Yuanshu respectively and then wanted to withdraw, but the emperor said to stay, this matter arose because of you, listen to it.
Shen Leng really doesn't want to hear what the emperor and the general said is not called whispering, it is called a military and national affairs.
"Today someone in the villa killed Shen Leng, and the people who were ambushed by Han Huanzhi were blocked in advance. According to my instructions to Han Huanzhi, people only killed but not caught. So the people from the Tingwei Mansion planned to shoot people to death directly, but Wang Quansheng, the general of your imperial guards, ordered the imperial guards to stop the people from the Tingwei Mansion from killing people, but caught people. After that, She Xinlou hurried to tell me that an assassin entered the Haoting Villa."
The emperor straightened out the lines and continued, "At that time, I was playing chess with Shi Yuanxiong. She Xinlou knew that my thoughts were on Shi Yuanxiong at that time, so he said a very clever word. He said that the person who sneaked into Haoting Villa caught it and interrogated it from the West..."
The emperor looked at Dan Tai Yuan Shu, and Dan Tai Yuan Shu immediately understood.
"He wanted to talk about Xijiang? But he was stopped by His Majesty."
"But Wang Quansheng has never interrogated the assassin."
The emperor sighed: "She Xinlou knows me so well. He is familiar with my temper and how I do things. He must have thought that if I hear that Wang Quansheng will not let the Tingwei Mansion kill people and interrogate them privately, he will directly kill Wang Quansheng."
Dan Tai Yuan Shu also changed his face: "So Your Majesty wants to ask about Talking about Jiuzhou."
Because he only said one thing, what is the West?
Tan Tai Yuanshu continued: "I also need to ask the ministers when there were people in the imperial guards."
The emperor nodded: "She Xinlou should have calculated all my reactions very clearly. If this matter is as planned by him, then Wang Quansheng has been killed by me now. Even if I don't kill him, he will hand it over to Han Huanzhi, the Tingwei Mansion for strict interrogation. The most important thing is that he will let me think about it..."
He looked at Dan Tai Yuan Shu: "Why are there people in the imperial guards you brought with you? How many people are inserted into it? Will it be involved in the safety of the imperial city?"
Dan Tai Yuanshu said: "But Your Majesty, these things can be found clearly after all."
"He knew he was dying."
The emperor said: "He hasn't moved for twenty years. I really want to know what important person or important thing is that can make him move. He entered Yanfu Palace a few nights ago."
Dan Tai Yuanshu's face turned pale: "Your Majesty..."
"I'm fine."
The emperor said: "He knew that this matter could not be hidden. I would definitely ask him and knew that he would die. That was why he borrowed the matter of Haoting Villa today. He was very smart. If he was not a eunuch, I felt that he would not lose to Mu Zhaotong."
This is really heavy.
"He knew that the truth would come out in the end, but he also knew that because I asked Han Huanzhi to check you, you would have a thorn in your heart, and I would have a thorn in my heart. Such thorns cannot be pulled out."
Dan Tai Yuanshu's back was already in shock and sweating.
Yes, this kind of thorn cannot be pulled out.
"Bring that assassin up."
The emperor gave an order, so the guards quickly escorted Shazhai, who was broken in red clothes and looked extremely embarrassed. Shazhai was pushed away, but she was not afraid. She thought that she would die before she came. She just wanted to use the money to find out how her brother died.
But she didn't expect that the emperor would wait here to see her, so she panicked and couldn't control her.
Normal people will panic in front of the emperor. Perhaps it is not because every emperor has a strong aura, but because of the deep-rooted hierarchy awe and the deep recognition of this hierarchy and a subconscious recognition of this hierarchy and awe.
"Where did you come from?"
The emperor asked.
“I…I…”
Sha Zhai swallowed hard, and her heartbeat was getting faster and faster. She thought she was strong enough, but at this moment she realized that it was because the level she came into contact with did not make her feel scared. The word "Emperor" could make the world kneel down, and naturally she could make her afraid.
"I am from Qiang, and I come from the western land."
"Qiang people."
The emperor waved his hand: "Take it down."
The guards immediately came up to take Shazhai down. Shazhai didn't understand what was wrong no matter what? His Majesty the Emperor of Daning personally interrogated himself, but only asked him, where did you come from?
Just so casual?
Han Huanzhi walked in from outside quickly. When he saw the emperor, he was stopped by the emperor: "Tell me directly."
Han Huanzhi looked at Dan Tai Yuan Shu: "I think this matter is not about Shen Leng, but just using Shen Leng to cover up the truth. They want to point the finger at the western border, the eastern border, or even the imperial guards. If nothing unexpected happens, I can even find out something from it... because they may have laid out a long time ago and covered the truth with a quilt that is very similar to the truth."
But the emperor suddenly laughed: "I finally got a little smarter... Interesting, Han Huanzhi, go to Yanfu Palace with me." (https:)
