After coming out of the Tai Chi Hall, the Dragon Prince and the Tiger Prince started laughing.
"I feel really happy when I see Jin Tianwei deflated." Prince Long laughed.
"Jin Tianwei, because he is the emperor, doesn't take us old guys seriously. I will let him know how powerful we are now." Prince Tiger sneered: "Ma Xiaoyao is a good chess piece. If
If used properly, Jintian's majesty can definitely be wiped out."
"Of course, we must also be fully prepared. What if Ma Xiaoyao is unlucky and the case is really solved?" Prince Long likes to plan ahead.
"It's simple. Let's send more people to sabotage Ma Xiaoyao and prevent him from having a chance to solve the case." Prince Tiger said with a sinister smile.
"You are still smarter." Prince Long gave a thumbs up.
"Let's go back and have a drink. I haven't been this happy for a long time."
"Let's go, make sure you don't get drunk and don't come back today!"
"By the way, call Prince Niu and the others over. It's been a while since we all got together."
"Well, it's been a while since we got together."
…
The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked quickly towards the palace gate, looking very arrogant.
That night, Prince Long's Mansion was bustling with singing and dancing, and more than half of the princes and princes in the imperial city participated in the banquet.
It is very sad to be the emperor and take the position of Jin Tianwei! With the name of the emperor, but unable to exercise the power of the emperor, the life he lives every day is miserable, he has to put aside other people's plots every day, and he has to swallow his anger every day
Learn to compromise...
In fact, Jin Tianwei is a very powerful person. Logically speaking, he should be able to become an emperor. However, the reality is cruel, because Jin Tianwei met a group of more powerful princes and princes. These princes and princes joined forces to form an empire.
A powerful force, even Jin Tianwei has to retreat.
Over the years, Jin Tianwei has been trying to find ways to reverse the situation, but unfortunately the results are not good. As time goes by, Jin Tianwei's situation becomes more and more difficult.
…
White Tiger City.
The meeting hall of the General Military Mansion.
Ma Xiaoyao handed a manuscript to Gu Zhiqiu: "Look at this."
"This is..." Gu Zhiqiu glanced at the manuscript, and his expression suddenly changed: "This is the manuscript written by the emperor himself!"
"You have good taste. This handwriting was indeed written by the emperor." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
Gu Zhiqiu was in a very agitated mood. Although he heard that Ma Xiaoyao's backer was the emperor, he had always had doubts. Now after seeing this handwriting, the doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared. Under normal circumstances, the emperor is
Orally, and then the ghostwriter eunuch would write the handwriting. Only in extremely special circumstances would the emperor write the handwriting himself. For example, if the emperor had something important to convey and he didn't want others to know about it, then the emperor would write the handwriting himself, and then
And then sending it through special channels, the fact that Ma Xiaoyao was able to get the handwritten letter written by the emperor was enough to show that the relationship between him and the emperor was unusual. In other words, the emperor trusted Ma Xiaoyao very much.
Gu Zhiqiu calmed down his excitement, and then read the handwriting carefully, and then his brows slowly wrinkled: "The emperor actually gave you full responsibility for solving the case? And the deadline is one month? The emperor really trusts you.
Ah, just like this... Your Excellency will be at the forefront of the storm, and if you are a little negligent, you may fall into a place of eternal disaster." More than 7,000 people died at once, which is considered a shocking case in any dynasty.
, there will definitely be a lot of people watching above, and if Ma Xiaoyao doesn't handle it well, he will definitely get a reputation for being unfavorable in doing things.
"I have already stated to the emperor that the murderers are Ding Xiong and others. I beg the emperor to issue an order so that I can arrest Ding Xiong and others for interrogation... but the emperor did not give me an answer." Ma Xiaoyao said expressionlessly.
said.
"The lack of a clear answer means that the emperor does not agree." Gu Zhiqiu said: "The reason why the emperor gave you this handwriting is to let you look for evidence. Only with evidence can you arrest people. In other words, you can't do anything without evidence.
Arrest people.”
"I have made the matter very clear. The murderer must be Ding Xiong and others! As long as I arrest them, I will definitely be able to find out the truth of the matter!" Ma Xiaoyao said angrily.
"Sir, I have told you a long time ago that if you are an official like Ding Xiong and others, there will definitely be backers behind you. If you arrest them without evidence, their backers will definitely not agree. Maybe
At this moment, someone has begun to put pressure on the emperor. It is true that the emperor is the king of a country, but he also has to worry about the influence. He can't just ignore the existence of the law just to help you, right? The law was formulated by the emperor himself to restrain his ministers.
If he himself doesn't abide by the law, how can he ask his ministers to abide by it?" At this point, Gu Zhiqiu's tone became serious: "Some things may seem trivial, but once they are taken advantage of by someone with intentions, they will become serious.
It could get bigger and get out of control."
Ma Xiaoyao had a livid face and said nothing.
"Sir, since the emperor wants you to look for evidence, then you go and look for it. I don't believe that Ding Xiong and others did it perfectly, without leaving any flaws." Gu Zhiqiu advised: "The ancients said something
: There is no airtight wall in the world! If you don’t want others to know, you have to do it yourself! As long as we look for it with our hearts, we will definitely find flaws!”
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "The key issue is... The emperor gave me a one-month deadline to solve the case, and there are only thirty days in a month. Finding evidence that Ding Xiong and others committed murder in such a short period of time is simply harder than climbing to the sky."
"
"It is indeed difficult, but we have no way out, we can only grit our teeth and fight hard." Gu Zhiqiu said with a bitter smile.
Ma Xiaoyao pondered for a long time... then raised his head and looked at Gu Zhiqiu: "I finally thought of a way, but it's a bit risky..."
"What method?" Gu Zhiqiu asked hurriedly.
Ma Xiaoyao moved forward, lowered his voice and said a few words in Gu Zhiqiu's ear.
At first, Gu Zhiqiu's expression was quite calm, but after hearing this, his expression immediately changed. When Ma Xiaoyao finished speaking, he was stunned: "Sir, you...how could you have such an idea...you
It's so... so..." Gu Zhiqiu thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a suitable word to describe Ma Xiaoyao.
"Although my method is a bit risky, once it succeeds, our dilemma will be solved." Ma Xiaoyao said calmly: "I think it is still worth a try."
"Sir, have you ever thought about it, once you fail..."
"It doesn't matter if you fail. At worst, the fish will die and the net will be broken. I don't believe it. I, Ma Xiaoyao, can't deal with a few insidious villains!"
"This matter is too dangerous. I think we should consider it in the long term."
"We don't have much time, and now is the best time to take action. If we delay, things will definitely happen."
"grown ups……"
"Lao Gu, the reason why I tell you my thoughts is because I trust you. You are the person I trust most in the entire military camp, so I won't hide any thoughts from you. Of course, if you don't dare to take risks,
, I don’t force it, I will do this by myself, the worst that can happen is death.”
…
Gu Zhiqiu struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "That's it! Since you insist on doing this, I will accompany you crazy for a while! As you said, you will probably die! What's the big deal!"
"Okay!" Ma Xiaoyao laughed loudly: "I knew you were right! Lao Gu, don't worry, I'm 70% sure I can succeed. After I deal with Ding Xiong and others, I will definitely repay you!
"
Listening to Ma Xiaoyao's praise, Gu Zhiqiu's heart was full of bitterness. He suddenly regretted staying as the chief steward of the General Military Mansion. Ma Xiaoyao was a lunatic and often liked to do things that were beyond common sense.
I know one day I will be implicated by Ma Xiaoyao!
Regret is regret, but Gu Zhiqiu still had to work hard to help Ma Xiaoyao, because he had already boarded Ma Xiaoyao's pirate ship, and even if he wanted to jump off, it was too late, and he could only follow Ma Xiaoyao into the dark.
Next, the two began to discuss the details of the plan. The two continued to discuss until late at night before all the shortcomings of the plan were resolved.
This kicked off a plan against Ding Xiong and others.
…
Din Xiong's mansion.
All ten captains of ten thousand men arrived.
"Is Ma Xiaoyao very quiet recently?"
"That's not called quiet, it's called depressed!"
"He must be depressed, because he was ordered by his superiors to solve the murder case within a month. With his little ability, it is impossible to solve the case, so he can only be depressed."
"Ma Xiaoyao will fall in a few days, hehe... then we will jointly recommend Lao Ding to be the commander-in-chief."
"If Lao Ding can really become the commander-in-chief, then our life will be easier in the future."
…
Everyone was talking about it.
There were two people at the scene who had remained silent, one was Ding Xiong and the other was Tian Zhengang.
Ding Xiong was observing everyone's reactions, while Tian Zhengang was unwilling to discuss Ma Xiaoyao with everyone, so he remained silent.
"Old Tian, why didn't you say a word today?" Tian Zhengang's abnormal behavior aroused Ding Xiong's alert. Well, in fact, Ding Xiong has always been wary of Tian Zhengang. Every time they get together, Tian Zhengang is the one Ding Xiong pays the most attention to.
object.
"Well..." The corner of Tian Zhengang's mouth twitched a few times: "No... I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm a little depressed today..." At this point, Tian Zhengang also deliberately yawned a few times, looking really energetic.
A depressed look.
"Why didn't you sleep well last night? Did you do something bad?" Ding Xiong asked with a half-smile.
"I guess he overplayed with his wife!" Liu Zihao said with a smile: "Tsk tsk... If I could marry a wife as beautiful as Hua Rui, I would definitely not be able to sleep well at night."
"What are you talking about!" Tian Zhengang's eyes widened: "Liu Zihao, I'm warning you, you can make fun of me, but if you dare to make fun of my wife, I will risk my life with you!" Tian Zhengang was worried and didn't know what to do.
How to deal with Ding Xiong? Unexpectedly, Liu Zihao, a fool, jumped out to help him out. Tian Zhengang immediately seized this opportunity and left Ding Xiong aside.
