Chapter 55 Xiao Hei Discovers Conspiracy
And if the Longyou Group withdraws from their side, most of their power will disappear.

As the saying goes, if a scholar rebels, it will take ten years to fail. Without the Longyou Group, even if the Fengpei Group has some force in terms of force, how can it compare with Wei Huo!
But how could the crowd be able to persuade them? For this occasion, it was naturally planned in detail, so they didn't even think about persuading him.

"Let's wait for the news!"

The old man of Fengpei Group who was hiding in the dark said a word indifferently, and then closed his eyes.

Everyone looked at each other and acquaintances, and there was a flash of regret in everyone's eyes. They regretted taking this action.

In fact, their alliance is not an alliance, but they just happened to be united together.

They feel that everyone is happy when things are done, and if things don't work out, then there is nothing to lose.

.........

While they were waiting for the news, Huo Shan had already returned to Weiyang Palace. In the past few days, his pigeons have been lost every day, which is extremely abnormal.

When you lose pigeons, you lose one every few days and there are others, but if you lose pigeons every day, everyone thinks it is abnormal.

So Huo Shan asked Xiao Hei to go out under the sun for a few days to see what was going on.

And when Huo Shan came back today, he saw two dead birds and one dead snake in the pet yard.

Huo Shan went forward and squatted on the ground, poked it with the whip, looked at the two birds on the ground, they looked similar to owls, but he didn't know the specific birds.

As for the snake, the round head, it doesn't look like it's venomous, so maybe they're right.

"Take it out and bury it!"

Huo Shan got up and ordered.

"promise."

When Xiao Lizi is not in the palace, he is usually on the side of the Pet Courtyard. When Huo Shan is in the palace, he will follow Huo Shan, so he happens to be here.

"Cuckoo~"

Huo Shan raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw Xiao Hei hiding in the dark under the eaves of the stable. Huo Shan glanced at the Eagle House, and then at him.

"It's so hot, why didn't you go back to the Eagle Room?"

Xiao Hei pecked at the beam next to him, and Huo Shan narrowed his eyes when he saw his movement:
"Is something wrong?"

Xiao Hei nodded.

"what's up?"

Xiao Hei was unmoved, but just stared at Huo Shan quietly.

Huo Shan patted his forehead, he also lost his mind, and Xiao Hei couldn't speak, Huo Shan scratched his head:

"Let me guess, you found something more harmful to pigeons, one you can't fix?"

Xiao Hei raised his head proudly, as if he was saying that it was a piece of cake, killing as many as he could.

"what is that?"

Huo Shan felt that he and Xiao Hei still had a tacit understanding, but who knew what he was talking about, and he didn't have mind reading skills.

Huo Shan guessed a few times in a row, but he didn't get it right, Xiao Hei gradually became impatient, jumped off the eaves, his wings fluttered, flew into the sky, and flew towards the Shaofu.

Huo Shan felt something was wrong, he walked out of the small courtyard, looked at Xiao Hei who was going away, thought for a while, and told Sun Shang next to him:
"Bring twenty gates and bring them with bows and crossbows."

Huo Shan was also doing this for the sake of caution. It must be a big deal to keep Xiao Hei, a guy who is afraid of heat and dying, from entering the Eagle Room.

Huo Shan rode on Li Yu who had not yet entered the stable, and followed Xiao Hei to the Shaofu.

"I have seen the little gentleman."

Wang Wenshu and the others were a little surprised when they saw Huo Shan who came suddenly, because Huo Shan had already told them not to disturb him if there was nothing serious, and they didn't know why they came here now!
"You are busy with your work, don't worry about me, I will just go around!"

After speaking, he glanced at the direction where Xiao Hei was leaving, turned his horse's head, and went in that direction, and stopped after taking two steps. Huo Shan glanced at the few people following him.

"Then follow along."

Several people looked at each other, feeling a little bad in their hearts.

Huo Shan passed by various workshops along the way, and came to the territory of the Shaofu Taiguan Ling. He didn't see Xiao Hei, so he whistled, and a "cuckoo" sound came from a hidden corner.

'Yes, here it is. '

"Where is the Crown Prince?"

"Go back to Xiaojunhou, Taiguancheng will take a rest today!"

Shen Ning stood up, Huo Shan felt something was wrong when he heard his words.

"Hugh Mu? It's not his turn to take a bath today, right? Why Hugh Mu?"

"Going back to Xiao Junhou, he said that the youngest son in the family was seriously ill. Today, Xiumu took the child to the imperial doctor's order to have a look."

Huo Shan frowned, it was a normal thing, but he always felt something was wrong.

"Tell me in detail, where is this Taiguan Cheng, and what is the situation at home?"

"Back to Xiaojunhou, the Taiguancheng is from Henan County. His generation has been the fourth generation of Taiguancheng. He is considered to be from Chang'an. There is an old mother in his family. He is the only son. Five years ago, his wife had a dystocia, and the mother died. "

"He loves this youngest son very much on weekdays, that's why he is so anxious this time when his youngest son is sick."

After Shen Ning finished speaking, Huo Shan looked at these people and saw that Wang Wei was hesitant to speak, so Huo Shan glared at him:
"Say."

"promise."

"Back to Xiao Junhou, he inherited a second wife five months ago. He was found to be pregnant a few days ago. He was very happy. He even invited his colleagues to drink, and the minister also went."

"The minister also heard about this!"

Wang Wenshu, Shen Ning and the others quickly agreed. Although the Shaofu is huge, it is also huge in scale. There are only dozens of officials in the Chang'an Shaofu, so everyone is very familiar with each other.

Moreover, Taiguan Cheng is also six hundred shi, which is not too small, not to mention that he is in charge of eating, and none of the subordinate officials in the Shaofu family have sent anyone to learn how to cook from him.

Moreover, basic necessities of life, food, housing, transportation, and medical care were involved in all aspects. If Huo Shan were colleagues with them, he would definitely deal well with them.

But Taiguan Cheng's incident was too coincidental. His second wife was pregnant, and his only son fell ill within a few days.

"What's the temperament of his second wife?"

Several people had strange expressions on their faces, and they remembered Taiguan Cheng's step into the Yamen with his hands on his waist and his knees.

"Back to Xiao Junhou, his temperament, um, is more sturdy."

Huo Shan nodded, he already had some guesses in his heart, the youngest son of Taiguan Cheng should most likely be the hand of this stepmother.

But what does this matter have to do with himself? Huo Shan just wanted to take a closer look, when suddenly Xiao Hei fluttered his wings and flew to another place.

Huo Shan looked in that direction, his face changed, and that direction was not his Qilin Hall, but Jiaofang Hall.

In an instant, Huo Shan had a guess in his mind that someone was going to attack Wei Zifu.

Why is Huo Shan so sure, because in this palace, there are only three people worthy of Xiao Hei's attention, namely Huo Shan, Liu Che and Wei Zifu.

It must be that Xiao Hei saw something, that's why it happened like this, if it was not harmful to Huo Shan and the others, Xiao Hei couldn't be so caring.

After being together for three years, Huo Shan has long known clearly what kind of temperament Xiao Hei is and how smart he is.

Taiguan Ling is in charge of the meals, now that he has come to Taiguan Ling, what else can he do, the only way is to poison.

But the four generations of Taiguancheng are all palace people. They know the rules, and the probability of problems is very small, so there is a big drama of family ethics. Taiguancheng is worried about the youngest son, so he rests, and the conspirators have a chance.

Otherwise, relying on the experience of four generations of Taiguancheng in preventing poisoning, the conspirators would not have a chance.

But he couldn't figure out why it would be more appropriate to buy Wei Zifu's people around him if he wanted to poison and assassinate him, why he should start with the most difficult official order.

Moreover, Shaofu does not cook meals in the territory of Shaofu, but goes to the various halls, so it is better to start there.

Huo Shan can still keep calm now, because he knows that Wei Zifu won't eat until the meal time, and he won't even drink water. This is also a habit she has developed, and it goes without saying why.

So there is still time.

Huo Shan thought about it carefully, then took the leather felt from Xiao Lizi and tied it on his left arm and shoulder, and blew a whistle, calling for Xiao Hei to land on his shoulder.

After giving instructions in Sun Shang's ear, he walked into a room, pulled up a table and sat on it, and there were bursts of shouts and the sound of bows and crossbows being strummed outside.

Huo Shan sat on the case table and waited quietly. His idea was to take it step by step, deal with the Shaofu side first, and then go to Jiaofangdian.

It's not his plan to ruin a conspiracy, his plan is to follow this line and pull more people out.

Although Huo Shan was very calm on the surface at this time, his back was covered in cold sweat and his heart was full of anger.

He didn't need to worry about Liu Che's side, and Wei Qing was the same, he just remembered to guard his own side, he was very concerned about his own safety.

But forget about Wei Zifu, if Xiao Hei hadn't happened to see him this time, something big would happen.

He didn't think about anything else in his mind now, he didn't think about the consequences of Wei Zifu's death, what purpose they attacked Wei Zifu, he only had one thought now.

Find these people and let them experience the beauty of the world!

After a while, the five young ministers came in with calm or apprehensive expressions. Huo Shan glanced at Xiao Hei, saw that he didn't respond, and said lightly:

"Stand aside."

The five people stood quietly by the side, they didn't ask or speak, this kind of scene came from the Taiguan Lingyu, and they knew in their hearts that they must have found something.

Not only were they not worried, but they were a little rejoiced that it was Huo Shan who came, not the lieutenant.

Then there were five people at a time, wave after wave, and finally, at the seventh wave, Xiao Hei had a reaction and made three 'cuckoos'.

'The third! '

A cold look flashed across Huo Shan's eyes, he glanced at the man with his head down, and then gave Sun Shang a wink.

Sun Shang nodded slightly, took a step forward quietly, knocked down the man amidst the exclamation of the people beside him, removed the man's chin, and then stuffed a ball into the man's mouth again. , tied up and thrown aside.

The four people who came in together stood aside, and the next wave started, and after a while, another one was found, using the same method.

When the two groups of people did not come out, there were several shouts outside, followed by the sound of bowstrings and screams. Huo Shan's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly:
"continue."
