Chapter 149 Dilemma

A simple sentence fell into Xu Daoshi's ears, and it sounded pleasant all of a sudden.

"Yes, yes," he quickly echoed, "A fool can't give a confession to Chi Yiwei, but a poor man can. Now that he is awake, he must answer every question he has."

If he cooperates more, Lin Fan will benefit more. Perhaps, Lin Fan will be willing to give him a good time.

Outside, Feng Jing said: "Gan Shilang is here."

Hearing that Daoist Xu woke up, the third division came one after another.

Gan Shilang was the first to arrive, and he clasped his hands with Lin Fan, glanced at Taoist Xu who was sitting slumped on the ground, and asked, "Your Majesty has asked?"

"It's not a matter of questioning," Lin Fan said with a smile, "I'll just tell him that he has entered the palace for the second time. Even if the national teacher brings him back again, I can let him enter the palace for the third time. Why don't you cooperate now? Just explain it, and save everyone trouble."

When Gan Shilang heard this, he laughed.

Interrogation, the most important thing is to gain the upper hand.

Especially psychologically.

It can indeed save a lot of trouble if the person being interrogated understands that he has no way out.

Soon, everyone is here.

Only then did Lin Fan ask Taoist Xu: "The national teacher brought you back, where did you eat, drink, sleep, and get drunk?"

Daoist Xu kept a pale face and did not deny it.

"It's really interesting what you do carefully." Lin Fan snorted.

Daoist Xu still did not argue.

He was branded as a "spies" last time, and once he was born twice.

"Ma Gui, who is also a spy in Xiliang, you know?" Lin Fan continued to ask, "He said you got away with the protection of the national teacher, but he confessed."

Taoist Xu said at this time: "The poor Taoist did not confess him."

He doesn't even know who Ma Gui is!

However, since he was cooperating with the Chiyiwei, of course he could only say half of it and hide the other half.

Of course, the focus of Chi Yiwei is not on Ma Gui, but on Deng Guoshi.

Deng Guoshi asked him to test the girl of the Qin family, so it is reasonable for others to use him as an entry point to touch Deng Guoshi.

Various images of blood puppets flashed in his mind. Daoist Xu silently said, "If you die as a fellow Taoist, you will also die as a poor man, but as a poor man, you need to die quickly." As a spy, he sold out Deng Guoshi.

"I heard that there was a Taoist priest in Da Zhou who was very favored by the emperor, so I approached him from a poor Taoist priest."

"Pindao gained the trust of the national teacher, and learned a lot of things in the palace through this, and then sent him back to Xiliang."

"The last time we took action against the Yongning Hou Mansion, it was Pindao who hit it off with the national teacher. The national teacher wanted to find out the bottom of the little girl who practiced Taoism in the Qin family. I don't know if the little girl is strong or not. Pindao himself is a three-legged The cat will reveal its secrets only after being tricked by the national teacher's unreliable immobilization talisman. If I had known that the national teacher had no morals at all, the poor Taoist would never take risks and expose his identity."

"Does the national teacher know that the poor man is a spy? How does this poor man know? You have to ask the national teacher to see whether he is pretending to be stupid or not seeing through."

"Pindao is not a good thing. Is Deng Guoshi good? Why are you blowing your nose at Pindao? The one who favors Deng Guoshi is your emperor!"

"The national teacher is working hand in hand with the eunuch next to the emperor. He is still refining alchemy. I don't know what he is refining, but with his little ability, he can't make any good things!"

In order to make the fear of the blood puppet disappear from his mind, Daoist Xu tried his best and spoke faster and faster.

Youdu Yushi was so angry that he wanted to beat him, but Lin Fan stopped him, so he could only give up angrily.

Lin Fan asked Feng Jing to take Taoist Xu down, and discussed with several adults.

"Impeach Deng Guoshi," Youdu Yushi said, "I don't know if it will be effective..."

"I don't think so," Gan Shilang said. "It's hard to say how much you can believe the spy's confession. Master Deng used this as an excuse..."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Whether it works or not, report it truthfully."

"Right."

Lin Fan sorted out the notes and sent them to the imperial study.

For the past two days, the emperor has been in a panic all the time. After seeing such a confession, the anger that was pent up in his heart surged up again.

"Read it," the emperor asked, "what do you think?"

"I'm arresting spies, and the news that the spies, especially Ma Gui, sent to Xiliang has a great impact on us. We have to dispatch grain storage and deploy soldiers everywhere," Lin Fan said, "As for the national teacher, I don't know that he trained What kind of Dan, I don’t know if Taoist Xu is talking nonsense, a spy, it’s not surprising to say lies.”

The emperor glanced at Lin Fan, and then motioned him to back down.

Lin Fan didn't say much, and left the imperial study.

In fact, he had already heard about the elixir, and he also knew that the emperor scolded Guoshi Deng for it.

However, with this layout, from the very beginning, the focus of him and Marquis Yongning was not in the palace.

Their goal is to guide Taishi Huang to throw an abandoned child and advance to the border step by step, so that they can get out of the dilemma of "trapped in Beijing with no soldiers".

How Deng Guoshi is and how Concubine Shun is, they are just incidental, not the primary goal.

It is true that adults are greedy, they want this and that, and they wish they could make a lot of money.

But in reality, greedy people are the worst.

They must grasp the big and let go of the small.

However, Lin Fan's little things that need to be let go first occupied the emperor's mind at this moment.

In the evening, the emperor tiredly raised his head from the memorial, and the people from the Compassion Ning Palace were waiting outside.

The Empress Dowager pleases.

The dinner was simply placed in the Compassion Palace.

As soon as the emperor entered, he saw that the empress dowager's expression was not quite right.

"It's a small job, you can eat and drink under your command," the Empress Dowager asked, "Does Master Deng really know nothing about it?"

The emperor was taken aback.

"Give alchemy medicine to the concubine in the harem, he is harming people!" The empress dowager said again, "Let's just put it this way, Concubine Shun was not difficult to conceive Qi'er back then, why did she no longer have it after she had been favored for many years?" Pregnancy, is it the elixir that hinders women's fertility?

In terms of age, from Qi'er down, the emperor died two daughters early, only Wanping was still healthy, and after that, Cheng'er was so much younger than Qi'er, and it took nearly three to five years before a concubine became pregnant. .

Could it be that concubine Shun has been taking medication all year round, which has affected the emperor? "

The emperor's face darkened.

He knew that his son was not going well, and he couldn't blame the pill.

After all, who could be in poorer health than Zhao Yuan?
When the queen gave birth to Zhao Yuan, there was no such person as Deng Guoshi in the palace.

As for premature death, it is also a common occurrence in raising children. If one wants to blame, it is reasonable to blame him as the father.

As his mother, the queen mother subconsciously excused him, blaming others, which is only natural.

The emperor glanced around, what made him angry was that someone had passed on the secret work and the elixir to the ears of the empress dowager!
"The emperor doesn't care how the Ai family knows," the empress dowager saw through his thoughts, "The Ai family only asks the emperor how to deal with it!"

The emperor asked: "What does the queen mother mean by this?"

"That monster must be dealt with!" The Empress Dowager said in a deep voice.
