Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 480 Grand guest, I treat you to dinner

Chang Decai and Yang Wu arrived at the Marquis's Mansion, and they walked around the mansion quietly, Yang Wu couldn't help admiring: "This mansion is much bigger than our Marquis's Mansion in the capital, Yu Xianren is really good to you! "

Chang Decai shook his head and said: "This house has no yard, so it doesn't feel very bright. I think there was still a place that was burned just now. It should be the work of the Chou Family."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "It's the enemy."

Yang Wudao: "You have only been here for a few days, and you have formed such a deep enmity?"

Chang Decai said: "My family is curious, which enemy family is so arrogant that they dare to burn down their house, but still burn it with Suzaku's Golden Crow fire, leaving so many hands and tails, but they don't care about the consequences at all."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "The one who wants to kill me is Princess Yu Xian, she doesn't want Yu Xian to form an alliance with Daxuan."

Chang Decai smiled: "In the future, let the slave family meet this girl for a while, and pick her up twice, maybe she changed her mind."

Xu Zhiqiong found a study and released Wan Qiusheng's soul.

Trapped in the horn for a whole day, Wan Qiusheng didn't realize that he was dead, and the moment his soul escaped from the trap, Wan Qiusheng rushed up to fight Xu Zhiqiong desperately.

Chang Decai stepped forward and kicked him down.

Seeing a woman approaching, Wan Qiusheng realized that he was not wearing any clothes, so he quickly covered his body.

"You temptress, what do you want to do to me?"

Chang Decai spat: "Look at your old skin, I feel sick even just looking at you, what do you think I can do to you?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Dean Wan, long time no see."

"Huangkou Lizi! I must take your life today!"

Wan Qiusheng tried to mobilize Haoran's righteousness, but found that he couldn't use his energy.

He realized that the situation was wrong and wanted to escape, Chang De just kicked him down, stepped on his face again, and said with a smile: "You look like a scholar, why don't you understand etiquette at all? Master Hou is talking to you , but won’t respond easily?”

"What bullshit, Lord Marquis? You little boy, you'll embarrass me!"

"Are you worthy of being called Xuanren?" Xu Zhiqiong walked closer, "Let me ask you, who told you to kill me?"

"Don't ask too much," Wan Qiusheng said with a sneer, "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you."

Chang Decai smiled and said, "The harder you speak, the more you won't be able to last for a few hours. Let me tidy up the folds of your body first."

Chang Decai still overestimated him, let alone a few hours, less than a quarter of an hour later, whatever Xu Zhiqiong asked, Wan Qiusheng would say whatever.

But whether it is true or not is another matter.

"Who told you to kill me?"

"It's Ju Liang, the great guest, who asked me to kill you."

This sentence is true, it has been verified by Yingzhu before.

Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "Why did you go to Yu Xian, and how did you meet Ju Liang?"

Wan Qiusheng said: "After I was dismissed from office, I left the capital in a fit of anger, and went all the way south to Yu Xianguo. The grand guest appreciated my talents and took me in as a disciple."

"Appreciate your talent and learning?"

Wan Qiusheng nodded.

Xu Zhiqiong glanced at Chang Decai, and Chang Decai tore off a large piece of flesh from Wan Qiusheng.

Wan Qiusheng wailed and said, "Everything I said is true."

Chang Decai scratched Wan Qiusheng's face with his nails, and Wan Qiusheng exclaimed, "Don't hurt me again, I'll just say it. After I came to Yu Xian, I went to Da Dian Ke's house to recommend myself. Da Dian Ke appreciates my talent and learning." ..."

With a wave of Xu Zhiqiong's hand, Chang Decai tore another piece of flesh from Wan Qiusheng's face.

Wan Qiusheng was so weeping that he couldn't speak, Xu Zhiqiong said: "How much talent do you have, but you don't know it yourself? Tell the truth earlier, but how much less suffering will you suffer?"

"Let me tell you," Wan Qiusheng said after recovering for a moment, "I came to Yu Xianguo because of someone's recommendation, and I joined Dadianke."

"Who recommended you?"

"Gongsun Wen."

Finally found the clue of this old thief.

"Are you a member of Nufu Sect?"

"I joined the Nufu Sect last year. I thought I could enter the Sheng'en Pavilion, but I didn't expect Gongsun Wen to accept it for a long time.

After the new king came to the throne, I cut off contact with the Nufu Sect, and when I was dismissed from office, I stayed at home, but Gongsun Wen came to the door again and asked me to go to Yu Xianguo, so I agreed. "

"When did Gongsun Wen find you?"

"Two months ago, in the capital."

It seems that Gongsun Wen is not only active in the Northland, he also runs to the capital often.

"Does he have any position in Nufu Cult?"

"Others call him Da Sikong, but I have no way of knowing what the position of Da Sikong is."

Da Sikong.

Sui Zhi is the great Sima.

Xiao Songting is Situ, missing a large character, and his status seems to be slightly lower than them.

It's okay to be lower, Xiao Songting's cultivation base is much lower than theirs.

Xu Zhiqiong asked again; "How many people like Gongsun Wen have you met?"

Wan Qiusheng shook his head and said: "Gongsun Wen has a very high status. All the Nufu followers I know are very afraid of him. No one has his status."

"Do you recognize Sui Zhi?"

"I only know that he is the left servant of the Ministry of War and later became a judge. I don't know the rest of the inside story."

With his IQ, it is estimated that the senior management of Nufu Sect will not have any deeper contact with him.

"What is the friendship between Gongsun Wen and Ju Liang?"

"Gongsun Wen only said that they were old friends. I mentioned Gongsun Wen in front of Ju Liang, and he took me in. He didn't tell me too much. When he was in his house, he treated me very politely, but he seldom talked to me. Meet."

From Ju Liang's attitude, he is not Gongsun Wen's friend, but obviously Gongsun Wen's subordinate.

Ju Liang is a member of Nufu Sect.

And Nufu Sect controls the Gu Clan.

Ju Liang strongly advocates forming an alliance with the Fanxiao Kingdom, which seems to be just a cover.

This bastard is collaborating with the enemy, he is the biggest spy hidden in the court.

and many more.

He's not necessarily the biggest yet.

Princess Yanghuan conspired with him to assassinate me. Could it be that she is also a member of Nufu Cult?
If Princess Yanghuan is really a member of the Nufu Cult, and the Nufu Cult really penetrated to this extent, Yu Xianhuang's life would be too sad.

Wan Qiusheng only knew so much about Yu Xianguo, and Xu Zhiqiong wanted to see if he knew anything else.

"Have you ever seen a person in the underworld?"

Regarding this question, Xu Zhiqiong didn't have much hope at first, after all, this is the secret among the secrets of the Nufu Cult.

Unexpectedly, Wan Qiusheng really knew something inside.

"Are you talking about Xuanwu Mingdao? When I was idle at home, someone sent a seriously injured believer to my home.
The group of people said that the believer said that the life of the believer could not be saved, but some people said that someone from Mingdao would come to bring him back to life.
I don't know what happened afterwards, I only know that the night was very cloudy, as if someone came to my house,
I went to check again at dawn the next day, and found that the injured congregation was dead, and the body was left in my house, but the others disappeared. "

Seriously injured believer?
"Where is he hurt?"

"The center of the eyebrows was broken, and the skull was also cracked, and even the brains flowed out."

Xu Zhiqiong frowned slightly: "When did this happen?"

"I can't remember the exact date, but I just remember that the new king had just succeeded to the throne, and I had just been dismissed."

Xiao Songting!
He was pierced between the eyebrows by me with a mandarin duck blade.

he died?
"How did you dispose of his body?"

"Send it to the mass grave and bury it!"

Buried?

Just deal with it so hastily?

No, Xiao Songting holds many secrets of Nufu Cult, even if he died, he would not dispose of his body hastily.

He was still alive, but his original body was too seriously injured and could not be used any more. Ming Dao sent someone to help him reincarnate.

Xu Zhiqiong asked some more questions, but Wan Qiusheng couldn't answer them.

Xu Zhiqiong took him into the criminal karma, quietly thinking about the next step.

Yu Xianguo will soon go to war with the Gu clan, and Daxuan will also send troops at that time.

It is very important for the two countries to join forces for the first battle. If the battle is defeated, the alliance between the two countries is likely to break down.

But as long as Ju Liang's secret work is still there, there is almost no chance of winning this battle.

The top priority is to get rid of Ju Liang's secret work as soon as possible, but this is not Daxuan, nor is it that Xu Zhiqiong can get rid of an important court official with a single hand.

Secretly?

If he fails, he will leave a serious excuse, and he may not be able to gain a foothold in Da Yu.

No matter how difficult it is, this guy must be resolved before the war begins.

Not only himself, but also all his followers in Yu Xianguo.

But before that, you have to treat him to a meal.

Xu Zhiqiong said to Yang Wu: "You should get acquainted with this mansion more, and make more magic circles at the key points."

Yang Wu shuttled around the mansion, while Chang Decai stayed by Xu Zhiqiong's side. With her protection, Xu Zhiqiong slept soundly for a night.

At noon the next day, Xu Zhiqiong wrote an invitation card and asked the maid to deliver it to the mansion of the grand guest, and told everyone: "Clean the mansion carefully, and prepare more good food and wine. I will invite the grand guest tonight." Come to the mansion for a feast."

Ju Liang was deeply surprised when he received the invitation.

Xu Zhiqiong wants to invite me to a banquet for peace?

As a minister in charge of foreign affairs, if foreign envoys invite him, if he does not go, it will be out of courtesy.

But if he went, he would have nothing to say to Xu Zhiqiong. Ju Liang always opposed the alliance with Xuan Guo, and Xu Zhiqiong was a ruthless man who dared to beat the eldest son of the emperor.

If there was a dispute between words and he beat me up, how should I respond?
can not go!
According to their rules for announcing people, three days are for invitation, two days are for calling, and one day is for mentioning.

On the day of the banquet, he only posted the post. It was Xu Zhiqiong who was rude first, and it was reasonable for me not to go, so I just pushed it away.

Ju Liang wanted to refuse directly, but after another thought, it was not appropriate to refute his face and annoy him directly, it would be better to find a reason to shirk.

Ju Liang ordered someone to speak back to Xu Zhiqiong's maid, saying that he had contracted a fever and cold and could not go out tonight, and that he would visit again after he recovered.

The maid received the news and hurried back to the mansion to answer Xu Zhiqiong. Xu Zhiqiong was very dissatisfied and scolded the maid in front of everyone.

In Xu Zhiqiong's mansion, there was a secret work arranged by Princess Yanghuan. Half a day after the incident, Princess Yanghuan received the news that Xu Zhiqiong invited Ju Liang to a banquet, but Ju Liang refused.

Princess Yanghuan laughed when she heard the news: "This Xuanman is so arrogant, but he thinks that Ju Liang can also win over?
Ju Liang is also treacherous, and he dismissed Xu Zhiqiong with a cold. "

A woman said from the side; "Your Highness, should we go and visit the grand guest so that we can make a show for Xu Zhiqiong?"

The woman's name is Qiaolan, who was originally the daughter of the previous Lang Zhongling. Later, because her father was convicted of a crime, Qiaolan and the whole family were demoted to servants and put on the market for sale.

Princess Yanghuan knows that she is quite talented, so she takes Qiaolan by her side. In name, she is a personal maid, but in fact she is a counselor by Yanghuan's side.

Princess Yanghuan said with a smile when she heard the words: "What kind of show? This is to let Xu Zhiqiong understand that we, Da Yu, look down on him and have nothing to say to him!" Yang Huan stretched his waist and said, "No need tonight Send an assassin, let him live another night in fear."

That night, a carriage suddenly came to the Marquis's mansion, and a person got out of the carriage, similar in stature to Ju Liang, and stayed in Xu Zhiqiong's mansion for a whole night.

The two talked for a long time all night, until dawn, the man left.

At noon the next day, Princess Yanghuan received another message.

Qiao Lan said: "Princess, Ju Liangming shunned Xu Zhiqiong's banquet on the face of it, but had a private meeting with him in secret. This matter is no small matter, you should go to his residence to find out!"

"Ju Liang really went to the Marquis's Mansion?" Princess Yanghuan expressed her doubts.

"The spy saw it with his own eyes, so he shouldn't be wrong."

Princess Yanghuan shook her head and said, "Ju Liang is a smart man, he has no reason to be close to Xu Zhiqiong."

"Perhaps Xu Zhiqiong used some advantage to lure him."

"A high-ranking official with rich salary, rich clothes and fine food, vast expanses of fertile land, countless beauties, what else does he lack? What else can Xu Zhiqiong give him?
There is something strange about this matter, it must be Xu Zhiqiong's treacherous plan, if you send an assassin tonight, you don't have to worry about it, it will definitely take Xu Zhiqiong's head. "

Qiaolan left, but Princess Yanghuan didn't know what to do.

Ju Liang found a Xuanren to assassinate Xu Zhiqiong, but not only failed, but also made a joke.

The information he inquired about was inaccurate, and he didn't even know Xu Zhiqiong's cultivation level.

Above the court, he was also at a disadvantage in front of Xu Zhiqiong.

What is the reason for this?
