He Xiaomei raised her hand and waved, and her appearance changed accordingly, turning into the appearance of a handsome young man, with a face as white as jade and sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and said: "Brother Ge, this matter concerns Your Majesty, let's go in and talk about it.
.”
"About His Majesty?"
"Okay, let's go in and talk."
Li Gexiao's expression became serious, he nodded slightly, and walked in with He Xiaomei.
After a while, the two sat down and Zheng Dongliu also walked out.
"Xiaomei, please tell me what happened!" Li Ge asked with a smile.
He Xiaomei did not sell the truth and said directly: "I just went to the Forbidden Army and disguised myself as Xu Li, the captain of the Forbidden Army. I learned the whole story through clichés."
"Just when His Majesty returned to the capital from Sanqing Temple, he asked the imperial army to kidnap a woman."
"Xu Xianchun left at this time, probably to report to that person."
Zheng Dongliu's eyes flickered and he said: "Your Majesty has been practicing Taoism for many years and has not been close to women for a long time. This time he actually abducted a woman on the street. This is extremely strange!"
"Yes, there must be something weird here. The identity of this woman needs to be investigated. It will definitely not be simple." Li Gexiao also nodded and said.
"Xiaomei, I'll leave this matter to you."
Hearing this, He Xiaomei nodded and said: "Okay, Brother Ge, don't worry, I will take care of it, but..."
He Xiaomei rubbed her fingers and showed a smile that you know.
Li Gexiao also smiled, took out a silver coin from his arms and handed it over.
With a move of He Xiaomei's fingertips, the silver disappeared. The people present were all highly skilled in martial arts, so they had no reaction to this move.
"Brother Ge, I'll go then!" He Xiaomei nodded to the two of them, and then left the courtyard.
Zheng Dongliu looked at He Xiaomei's leaving figure and said softly: "Thousand-faced Actor, He Xiaomei, you must have spent a lot of effort to invite him out too!"
"It's nothing, they are all friends. He likes to sing opera, but unfortunately no one appreciates it. I am his confidant." Li Ge smiled lightly and said.
"Well, a thousand pieces of gold are easy to come by, but a confidant is hard to find!"
"Business is business, and favor is favor. It's good." Zheng Dongliu nodded, approving of Li Gexiao's behavior.
Li Gexiao looked serious and said: "Master, if you want to take action against Wei Zhongxian, we are not enough. I also plan to find some friends to help."
"Okay, who are the candidates?" Zheng Dongliu asked without refusing.
"The Thief Bupleurum, the Thief White Jade Soup." Li Gexiao said two names.
"Um?"
Zheng Dongliu's expression obviously changed. He looked at Li Ge and smiled and said: "The Thief Saint White Jade Tang, I heard that he has withdrawn from the world for many years. Many people have been looking for him. I didn't expect that you found him."
"Haha, it's just a coincidence. We happened to meet each other in an inn. He owes me a favor, so I asked him to repay me by the way." Li Ge smiled and explained: "This plan went very smoothly, and I met a few people.
friend."
"There are very few masters from the Sunflower Sect nowadays. Back then, it was considered a first-rate gang and produced many masters. I heard that there was also a master from the Six-Sect who was also from the Sunflower Sect."
Zheng Dongliu seemed to have remembered something and said slowly.
"Buihu will arrive in the capital tomorrow, and Baiyu Tang will arrive the day after tomorrow. With the help of these two, I think our plan can go ahead." Li Ge said with a smile.
"You make the arrangements!" Zheng Dongliu patted Li Gexiao's shoulder and said softly.
"Yes, master." Li Gexiao replied.
…
Capital City, Imperial Palace, Purple Orchid Palace.
Emperor Tianqi walked into the main hall, and Eunuch Sun lit candles to illuminate the palace.
In the center of the hall, a woman was tied to a chair, her eyes covered with blindfolds, her mouth was blocked, and she was struggling continuously.
She seemed to hear the footsteps, and her whole body trembled slightly, looking a little scared.
Emperor Tianqi looked at the woman, without any emotion in his eyes, and ordered: "Take off the cloth from her mouth. I have something to ask her."
"Yes." Eunuch Sun quickly stepped forward and took off the cloth from the woman's mouth.
"You...who are you?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Help...help..."
…
As soon as the white cloth was torn off, the woman couldn't wait to cry, her voice was extremely miserable.
Emperor Tianqi frowned and ordered: "Take off the black cloth from her eyes as well."
"yes."
Eunuch Sun quickly untied the black cloth in front of the woman's eyes.
The black cloth disappeared, and the woman gradually saw everything in front of her clearly.
She looked at Emperor Tianqi and Eunuch Sun with some horror. She did not continue to cry and seemed to be holding back by force.
"I am the Emperor of Heaven. I invite you here because I have something to ask you."
Seeing that the woman had calmed down, Emperor Tianqi looked at the woman and spoke slowly.
As Emperor Tianqi spoke, he waved his hand, indicating that Eunuch Sun could retreat.
Eunuch Sun immediately understood and bowed quickly, then exited the hall and closed the door.
"You...are you His Majesty the Emperor?"
The woman's expression was obviously stunned, and then she became excited and said.
"Yes, I am the emperor." Emperor Tianqi looked at the woman and nodded slightly, trying to keep his tone calm so as not to scare the woman.
"Your Majesty, the daughter of the common people is called Jing Ruyi. She is the daughter of the former Jiangnan magistrate Jing Ji. She came to the capital this time to meet with Your Majesty and beg Your Majesty to seek justice for my father..."
"The corruption cases in Jiangnan are all led by Yan Song. He is the culprit. The daughter of the people has evidence. Please make the decision for the women of the people!"
Jing Ruyi said quickly and impatiently.
"Jiangnan Corruption Case? Yan Song?"
Emperor Tianqi frowned, seeming a little irritated and unhappy. He was not here to deal with this kind of thing.
"You'll talk to me about this in detail later. I also have something I want to ask you."
"You have to answer truthfully, otherwise..."
Emperor Tianqi's expression was serious, and as soon as his tone changed, the emperor's momentum overwhelmed him, putting huge pressure on Jing Ruyi.
"Yes... women must tell the truth truthfully." Jing Ruyi said.
"Where were you this morning?" Emperor Tianqi stared at Jing Ruyi, waiting for her answer.
"Back to Your Majesty, the girl has been staying in a small courtyard in the east of the city. A few days ago, the girl and her fellow villagers were imprisoned by the minister of Dali Temple, and they finally escaped." Jing Ruyi explained.
"nonsense!"
"You dare to lie to me?"
"Is it so easy to get out of Dali Temple Prison?"
"If you and your fellow villagers had this kind of ability, how could you be locked up?"
"explain?"
"Who let you get close to me?"
"What exactly is your purpose?"
Emperor Tianqi asked coldly and pressed forward fiercely.
Hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, Jing Ruyi panicked and shouted quickly: "Your Majesty, the daughter of the people did not tell lies. It was Shenhou who saved us. He wanted me to bring down Yan Song and eliminate harm for the court, so he sent people
He rescued us from prison."
"Marquis of God?"
Hearing this name, Emperor Tianqi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Jing Ruyi, and said, "Do you know what it is to slander a relative of the current emperor?"
"A civilian girl has a clear conscience, so she is naturally not afraid!" Jing Ruyi responded extremely forcefully.
"Okay, then I will let you confront the Lord Shen."
After saying this, Emperor Tianqi waved his sleeves, turned and left, without even mentioning the matter of redressing the rebellion of Jing Ji, the prefect of Jiangnan.
Obviously, for Emperor Tianqi, rehabilitating a dead man and reopening old cases is not as important as his cultivation of immortality. His only worry now is that he is afraid that the Taoist Master is fake and that this woman is deliberately approaching him.
In particular, Tao Zun also mentioned that he hoped to give up his position as emperor and devote himself to practicing Taoism.
This sentence was stuck in his throat, making Emperor Tianqi very uncomfortable.
Now it involves the iron-courage god Hou Zhuwu, which makes him have a lot more speculations.
Could it be that my imperial brother has set his sights on my throne?
Emperor Tianqi's expression gradually became sinister. Even if Zhu Wuli dared to lie to him and touch his throne, he would die!
