Chapter 455 Reporting Results ([-]) A Change

Qin Wubing sighed in his heart, and continued to guide:

"Before the death of Hu Qian, it was obvious that it was the king of Chengjun, who wanted to divert the emperor's attention, but there was a person who directly participated in it, Tang Lisheng, Zuoqian, the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate! Qu Liang is the highest official in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This Tang Lisheng is also an official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Your Majesty, that person attaches great importance to the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

"Are you saying that Tang Lisheng is not a member of King Cheng?" Prince Xiang asked.

"Prince Cheng may think so, but Tang Lisheng is not, he belongs to that person." Qin Wubing replied.

"How do you see it?" asked the emperor.

"The king of Chengjun can't order Tang Lisheng. Small things may be fine. For such a big matter, Tang Lisheng is not stupid. Why did he follow suit? I couldn't figure it out before. How could Tang Lisheng write about Chengjun in the signing room in Lishan County? At that time, I thought he was afraid of death, but the more I thought about it, the more wrong I was. Yuer and I never hindered his official career. Murdering his father-in-law must be a capital crime. I don’t believe he didn’t think carefully beforehand! Just because he knows that he is corrupt, do you think that King Chengjun can protect his official position? He is from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. How could he not have heard of what King Chengjun did in Yangjiazhuang and whether he was grounded? Such a master can To protect his official position?"

Qin Wubing paused and said again:
"Furthermore, one of Hu Qian's legitimate sons is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is the minister of the Imperial Academy. Even if I have no way to find out the evidence, as long as there is such a guess, Tang Lisheng's life will not be easy in the future! Tang Lisheng worked so hard for King Chengjun to say It doesn't make sense, so Tang Lisheng is not a member of King Cheng, he is not that stupid!"

The emperor snorted coldly and asked: "Aren't you stupid to work for that person?"

Qin Wubing replied: "Tang Lisheng knows that person's ability, in other words, that person has the ability to keep his official position."

"You mean Tang Lisheng knows who is behind the scenes?" Prince Xiang asked excitedly.

Qin Wubing hesitated for a moment before saying:

"At least Tang Lisheng can know that person's ability through the people above him."

"Who is the person above him? Qu Liang?" the old monk asked.

"Tang Lisheng once recognized a godfather." After Qin Wubing finished speaking, he immediately looked at the emperor.

"Wangxi who is next to the late emperor!" the old monk yelled.

The emperor looked at Qin Wubing with a livid face, and asked, "Did you deduce that he was a... eunuch?"

"I just thought of it last night." Qin Wubing stood up, bowed and said:

"There is another person, the emperor should know that there is a hand-printed eunuch named Bai Sheng who used his nephew to open the most high-end brothel in the capital, Lanxiang Pavilion, where Lin Yi, the second child of Wudinghou's family, died. I asked the shopkeeper of the Qin family in the capital, and he said that generally high-end brothels and restaurants are run by noble families, because the land is their own, and they can be decorated in a big way, so there is no need to worry about being taken back suddenly, but this Bai Sheng has the ability to open it. One family, the dignitaries in the capital will still give him face, I thought, even if this Baisheng is corrupt, if he wants to buy such a piece of land and run such a business, he may need a lot of money, but he is Rootless people, worrying so much, and taking all kinds of troubles, what are they planning? For their own nephews? Isn’t it the same to leave money to them?”

The emperor listened quietly with a sullen face.

The old monk turned his head to look at Dequan, and Dequan quickly knelt down and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, this servant is loyal!"

The emperor waved his hands impatiently and said: "Get up, you can continue."

Dequan stood up trembling all over, stood aside, and thought in his heart: No wonder every time he sees this Captain Qin, he breaks out in a cold sweat!
Qin Wubing continued:
"Thinking of Deyu next to King Chengjun, that person has an outline. At first, I thought of the eunuch trusted by the late emperor. I also resisted. Where do such people have the courage? Say they are the most humble people It’s not an exaggeration, but they don’t think so, the lack of body can easily make them think differently from ordinary people.”

When Qin Wubing said this, he thought of the person who opened his eyes and found that he had time-traveled. Not long after, he found that the bottom was gone. He was afraid that he wanted to die even more than him. The result of not dying, the psychological distortion was certain.

Seeing that Qin Wubing stopped suddenly, the emperor hurriedly asked: "What makes you so sure that he must be an eunuch?"

Qin Wubing withdrew his thoughts and said:
"The emperor questioned that person's purpose for the world a few times, so I thought about it carefully. The reason why I thought that person didn't have such thoughts from the beginning was as I said before. He hid himself too well, but the emperor It is also right to worry about it, not having it at the beginning does not mean not having it later, people's greed will increase with the power in their hands, but that person didn't have that thought from the beginning to the end, why?"

"Why else? A man who has no heirs wins the world at the expense of others!" The old monk cooperated.

"Exactly! I couldn't figure it out before. Is it just for money? When I figured out his identity, it made sense. These people have nothing to hold in their hands except money! But because of their identity, Even if you have money, you may not be able to protect it. Some people want to enjoy it, some want to keep it for their family members, and some want to have some... dignity, no matter what, that person will be Wangxi, Baisheng and Deyu Persuasion, there must be other people like them, and these people willingly became a high wall for that person."

Prince Xiang frowned and asked, "Only with these few eunuchs?"

"That person has been able to succeed for so many years, isn't it because no one thinks about them? The first emperor passed the throne to the emperor, and when the new and old courts were handed over, he only restrained himself. It can be seen that this method is extremely proficient!"

The emperor suddenly called out 'Dequan', and Dequan quickly knelt down. The emperor thought for a while and said, "If you participate, tell me directly. Life!"

Dequan kowtowed fiercely and said, "Your Majesty, if this slave participates, he will be an eunuch in his next life!"

The emperor raised his hand and said:
"Get up, you have to do two things, one is to find a way to take down the virtues and talents, and don't disturb anyone, the other is to find someone you can trust, you must trust, find an excuse to see if Bai Sheng is still alive , if you are alive, find a way to take it down, and don’t disturb anyone! If you do these two things well, you will still be you.”

Dequan took the order and prepared to go down with confidence, the emperor then ordered: "When you go out, call Wufeng in, and take a look at it, and see if there are any missing people who are supposed to serve in the palace in the morning, come in and tell me, you Let's get to work, the sooner the better."

Qin Wubing's admiration suddenly arose spontaneously!

Today the emperor has moved to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to personally judge the case of the murder of the Duke of Guo. That person will know after the next court that De Yu and Wang Xi have both died on the wall he erected, and no one else has had anything to do with Qin Wubing. After contact, there was only Bai Sheng left, just based on the person's usual hand-to-hand look, Bai Sheng was probably dead, if so, Qin Wubing didn't need to say any more, the identity of that person was confirmed.

As for virtue and talent, Qin Wubing has an impression. He was the eunuch who served the pen and ink beside the emperor. He once led the decree to take Chengjun Wang to Lishan County to pick Tang Lisheng and the others back to Beijing. After hearing Qin Wubing's deduction, the emperor quickly thought The eunuchs around him must have participated, but the eunuchs who serve the pen and ink are the most suspicious!
At that time, there were also the emperor's two hundred guards, led by Commander Tan, and Mr. Zuodu Censor Wang of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. With such a lineup, who would dare to make a move?But I had to move my hands and feet.

"Your Majesty, you should send someone to check on Tang Lisheng in prison. He may be alive, but he may not be able to speak." Qin Wubing reminded.

The emperor nodded.
