Three hundred and ninetieth eight chapters demon words
If according to the speculation just now, the demon book really comes from the palace, then the contents of the demon book are on target.
Lu Bai hurriedly took the file back and found the demon book on it.
This is the most important evidence of guilt.
The demon book analyzes the fates of King Luo and King Kang based on star-drawing techniques, astrology and eight trigrams, saying that only King Kang has the fate of the emperor. This is also the reason why the sage favors him. It is also mentioned that the sage and King Kang have the same fate.
The place is the same as the fate of the emperor——
Of course that's not what Lu Bai wanted to see.
He dug out the book and found the part related to the current emperor - he was born in June.
What is mentioned above is somewhat vague.
People in the Southern Dynasties also knew that the emperor's birthday was in June.
When the emperor was born, the Supreme Emperor asked the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to lead the people to celebrate the birth of the prince for a month. Later, when the emperor was crowned, he also celebrated with the people throughout June, so many people knew about the emperor's birthday.
In June.
But few people know the specific day in June when the emperor's birthday falls.
However, although the mention in this demon book is vague, the person who wrote it is not vague. He obviously knows the date of the emperor's birthday. If not, wouldn't it be nonsense if he didn't know the fate of the emperor?
Since this demon book was circulated from the palace and written according to authenticity, then the one used by this person to express the emperor's birthday should also be authentic.
So, this person knows the emperor's birthday.
As the Emperor's Supreme Being, in this society where one's birth date can really predict one's fate and future, his birthday must be kept secret. Lu Bai estimated that unless he was a very high-ranking person in the inner study hall, the eunuch would not know about it.
The emperor's birthday.
The ones who know the most clearly are the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but the Queen Mother asked Lu Bai to investigate, and the Emperor doesn't like to mention this matter. So it seems impossible for them, so there is only one possibility - the Queen.
The current emperor is different from the Supreme Emperor.
The Emperor changed several queens before it was Gu Qinghuan's sister's turn to be the queen.
The current queen is the queen from beginning to end.
The queen is the emperor's official wife, and they exchanged birthdays and horoscopes before getting married. Let's put it this way -
Lu Bai looked at the demon book in his hand, could this be planned by the queen?
Why?
Although Lu Bai once guessed that it was the Queen's side that sent the demonic book from the harem, but at that time it was just a guess. He never expected that it was really the Queen who did it. She did all this just to get the Emperor to appoint the crown prince as soon as possible?
But this is too far away.
The queen could ask the Gu family for help, and the Gu family would contact them privately, and use the emperor's condition when he was seriously ill to ask the emperor to establish a crown prince as soon as possible. If this was the case, Lu Bai believed that many officials would stand up and raise flags.
Why bother with the book on demons now?
The key point is that this demon book still speaks to King Kang. Although it is suspected of flattering him, what if it reaches the emperor's heart?
Don’t you see, those who are now asking to make King Kang the crown prince are taking the fate theory in the demon book as their reason.
Lu Bai thought about it, but he really couldn't understand why the queen did this.
He also decided to hide the matter.
The Queen and the Queen Mother are both surnamed Gu, and Gu Qinghuan is also surnamed Gu. Let them make their own decisions on this matter.
"It's a pity that we missed this lucky draw opportunity." Lu Bai felt regretful.
This case involves the Queen. If this is a lottery, at least one big one will be drawn.
Lu Bai still had the files on the Demon Book Case shelved, and he opened another file - the Liu Yan case.
This Liu Yan went to the capital last year to look for his daughter, saying that the emperor was born to his daughter Liu Cuilian, and was taken away by the Queen Mother. Because of his monstrous words, the emperor had him arrested, but it was just that he was arrested. Now there are rumors
He is still living well in prison with food and drink.
The Queen Mother asked Lu Bai to find out who was behind Liu Yan's actions, and also to find out the cause of Liu Cuilian's death.
This case is also quite difficult.
This Liu Yan would not appear out of thin air. After he appeared, the emperor served him delicious food and drinks. He obviously knew something. Otherwise, Liu Yan would have been dragged out.
He took out the badge left by the Queen Mother and decided to go to the two factories to find Liu Yan.
After Lu Bai said that, he went out.
A Jin Yiwei came over with an umbrella to protect Lu Bai from the rain, but half of his body got wet.
Lu Bai waved his hand, "No, please give me the umbrella. We don't do this in Nanzhen Fusi."
He took the oil-paper umbrella from Jin Yiwei's hand and left Nanzhen Fusi alone. He stopped a carriage by the way and it was the old man who was waiting to pull Lu Bai away and said that Lu Bai was a good man.
Lu Bai got into his car and said, "Uncle, how is your Zhuyingtang doing lately?"
The uncle's hands froze, "Ahem, what about that, it's okay, it's okay."
The uncle was embarrassed for a while, and drove into the rain curtain without saying another word along the way.
It was drizzling outside, but it did not dampen the interest of pedestrians at all. Along the way, there was a constant stream of pedestrians, including merchants doing business, gentry watching the street scene, officials riding horses, hawkers, and family members riding in sedan chairs.
There were walking monks carrying baskets on their backs, tourists from other places asking for directions, children on the streets listening and reading, children from rich families drinking heavily in restaurants, and disabled old people begging on the edge of the city. It was a lively scene, and it didn't look like it was in the rain.
Looking at this vivid picture of hundreds of scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, Lu Bai asked the uncle to take a detour to the Tiandi Temple. When passing by the Tiandi Temple, Lu Bai saw the old woman who cried out for injustice yesterday, now kneeling in front of the Tiandi Temple with a human head in her hand.
He remained motionless, with a determined look on his face.
Lu Bai lowered the curtain and urged the carriage to move quickly.
Dongchang will arrive soon.
When Lu Bai visited Dongchang Prison, the father-in-laws of Dongchang obstructed him in every possible way. Finally, Lu Bai took out his token and walked in smoothly.
However, before Liu Yan could be found as soon as he entered, the fat eunuch from Dongchangchang arrived.
He had a face full of hatred for Lu Bai, but he was more uneasy in his heart. After all, they were the ones who led Lu Bai to the sword pavilion. The story of Lu Bai's sudden sight of the stone tablet of the Sword Immortal's Enlightenment was still deep in his mind.
Shocked them.
"Master Lu, I don't know what brought you to our East Factory." The fat eunuch bowed his hand in a perfunctory manner.
"The wind of justice." Lu Bai mocked unceremoniously: "I heard that there is too much injustice here, so I came here to help you straighten it out."
The fat eunuch pretended not to hear.
When Lu Bai first arrived in the capital, the fat eunuch mocked Lu Bai and was beaten by Lu Bai. Now that Lu Bai was mocking him, he didn't have the ability to beat Lu Bai, so he could only swallow his anger. Silence is golden.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Lu Bai felt quite boring.
Whether it's bickering or killing, there has to be confrontation to be interesting.
"Where is Liu Yan? Where is he being held?" Lu Bai asked.
The fat eunuch was startled, "Liu Yan?"
Then he narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Bai, "Mr. Lu, your hands are too long for a Nanzhen Fu Envoy Commander. You have already been traced to my Dongchang."
Lu Bai asked him to look at his belt card, "See clearly, it's not me whose hands are too long. Are you saying that the Queen Mother's hands are too long?"
Lu Bai thought he could tell the Queen Mother when he went back.
"You - I didn't say anything, and Liu Yan is not here either." The fat eunuch said in a stiff tone.
Lu Bai put away his badge and said, "What do you mean, Liu Yan is in the West Factory?"
"I don't know." The fat eunuch said the next sentence and then tightly closed his mouth.
Lu Bai suddenly realized, "Oh, you said I guessed it right, Liu Yan is really in the West Factory."
The fat eunuch hurriedly added: "I said I don't know, no! I know! I know!"
Lu Bai told him not to stress, "I will listen to you now and go to Xichang to ask Liu Yan for questioning."
Then, Lu Bai's body flashed, and a clone appeared and stayed in place. As for the other clone, Lu Bai waved at him and told him to go to Xichang to find Liu Yan now.
"Mr. Factory, I hope what you said is true. If it is false, you will see the cards as you see the people. If you dare to deceive the Queen Mother, although it is not a crime of deceiving the emperor, it is enough to make you drink a pot." The clone looked for Lu Bai, until he
Heading to the west factory.
"return!"
When Lu Bai's clone was about to turn a corner, the fat eunuch had to stop him.
He glanced at Lu Bai and said, "Liu Yan is in Dongchang."
Lu Bai was happy, "Look at you, if you told me earlier, you had to deceive the Queen Mother half the time. Aren't you asking for trouble?"
"I didn't lie to the Queen Mother." The fat eunuch said in a stiff tone.
He led Lu Bai out, and when he got out of the prison, Lu Bai realized that the fat eunuch had really deceived the Queen Mother, and that Liu Yan was indeed not in the prison.
He was in a yard in Dongchang.
The courtyard is hidden in a corner of the East Factory and is heavily guarded by eunuchs.
Mr. Fat Factory led a group of people from Dongchang. They wore raincoats and bamboo hats and carried knives at their waists. After arriving outside the yard, these people from Dongchang dispersed and surrounded the yard. Then Mr. Fat Factory let people
Open the door and let Lu Bai in.
Despite the tight security outside, Lu Bai felt that the life of Liu Yan's prisoner was really good when he went inside.
There are mountains and water in this courtyard, and there are koi carps in the water. Lu Bai also saw a maid walking through it.
When Lu Bai walked through the verandah and came to the pavilion, a man who looked like a rich country man was sitting on the pavilion, holding a fishing rod in his hand, focusing all his attention on the fishhook, waiting for the koi to take the bait.
Lu Bai clapped his hands when he saw this, "This prisoner's life is pretty good."
He turned back and suggested to the fat factory man, "Mr. factory, if I commit a crime someday, please remember to arrange a place like this for me. This place is really comfortable for him to be imprisoned in."
The rich man who was fishing turned around and asked the fat factory manager with an unhappy look on his face, "Who is this guy?"
He had an accent, and it sounded like someone from the Suzhou area. Lu Bai had heard Gu Qinghuan say something about this place, which was quite nice, but when a big man, especially an old man, talked about it, he wouldn't listen to it.
.
"I'm here, Lu Bai."
Lu Bai walked over and sat on the stone bench in the middle of the pavilion.
It's still raining now, and the green plums next to it are crystal clear and green, and because of the heavy rain in the pond, the koi are all popping up and spitting bubbles.
That's it, the old man didn't even catch a single fish.
"It doesn't matter what you are, Lu Bai or Lu Hei, why are you coming in? Don't disturb my enjoyment." Liu Yan looked impatient.
It was as if Lu Bai could catch fish if he didn't bother him.
Lu Bai glanced at Liu Yan and quickly drew a self-portrait of the old man in his mind.
This old man has a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, and his eyes are cloudy but sometimes they have a gleaming look. At first glance, he looks like a man who was not honest in his duties in the countryside and hangs around all day long. He was a small gangster when he was a child, and he is an old gangster when he gets old.
"Hey, do you know Yaxing?" Lu Bai pointed his finger in the air.
Wow!
The fish in the pond surge up together with the water in the pond, turning into a fish wall outside the pavilion. The fish can swim freely in it, which looks very beautiful.
The fat factory man was startled and turned to look at Lu Bai, his eyes full of shock.
Lu Bai's current strength is unfathomable. Even the Enlightenment Monument is no match for him. In the future, the fat factory master must try to be more stable with Lu Bai, not touch his brows, and try to coax him as much as possible, so that he can continue to stay in the official position.
Go ahead and continue to enforce the law impartially and use official tactics to restrain him, otherwise you won't know how he died.
He and his commander Xiao Zhan unanimously decided to adopt the same strategy.
Liu Yan was also frightened by Lu Bai.
He dropped the fishing rod as if it was hot to his hands, looked at Lu Bai with wide eyes, and shrank to a corner, "You, what do you want to do, I, I tell you, I am the emperor's grandfather!"
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, I just want to ask you a few words." Lu Bai waved his hand.
The fat factory official hurriedly said to the side, "Lu Zhenfu, if you want to question this man, you can only do it in the east factory. You can't take him away or take him out. You can only ask him in this courtyard.
Lynching cannot be used."
Although he made up his mind not to offend Lu Bai, this was the emperor's order and he did not dare to disobey it.
Lu Bai waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
When Liu Yan heard that Lu Bai could not lynch him or take him away, he suddenly became bolder and said, "What do you want to ask? I tell you, I am the emperor's grandfather, don't play any tricks."
Lu Bai chuckled lightly.
Of course he knew that Liu Yan was the emperor's grandfather, and with this treatment in prison, he would be damned if he wasn't a foreigner.
From this point of view, the emperor firmly believed that the Queen Mother was not his biological mother.
"You keep saying that you are the emperor's grandfather, so do you think your daughter Liu Cuilian is the emperor's biological mother?" Lu Bai asked.
"That's natural. Also, please don't call the Queen Mother by her name. This is disrespectful. Be careful of me punishing you!" Liu Yan was very proud when he said this, and pointed at Lu Bai with his finger.
Lu Bai smiled and said, "You are so sure, where is the evidence?"
"Of course there is evidence!" Liu Yan raised his thumb proudly, "Look at this -"
He pointed his thumb.
Lu Bai glanced at it and saw that his thumb was born with one section shorter than the thumb. The knuckle directly above the thumb was the nail plate, and there was only a little buffer at the back. This caused his thumb to be almost the same as the third finger of the index finger.
The lower ends of the knuckles are flat.
This thumb is really short.
"This is our family inheritance. You can go and see the emperor's. His fingers are also like this." Liu Yan said proudly.
Lu Bai secretly wrote it down and asked, "Have you met the emperor?"
Liu Yan's face froze, "No, no."
"That being the case, how do you know that the emperor's thumb is the same as yours?" Lu Bai asked.
Liu Yan glanced at the fat factory man and said, "He, they said the emperor had compared them."
The fat factory man also interjected: "Indeed, the emperor's thumb is born short, and everyone close to him knows it at this time."
Lu Bai turned to look at him, "Shut up and stay alone while I ask questions!"
"I--"
The fat factory man wanted to refute, but suddenly thought of his decision, so he swallowed his words and turned his head to look away.
