The 220th scapegoat

Nowadays, Mu Qing has become a more unstable factor. As foreign troubles approach, it is really not good news for the Wei Dynasty.

If Emperor Wei could discover Mu Qing's mentality changes in advance, he would definitely take some preventive measures. Unfortunately, Emperor Wei didn't know at all.

It is difficult for outsiders to know that Mu Shaoyi is seriously ill and is dying. All the famous doctors who were consulting were buried secretly by Mu Qing!

"Yi'er, grandpa will definitely hold a grand funeral for you!" Mu Qing murmured to himself and walked out of the ice room.

When Mu Qing's thoughts become extreme, he is destined to add fuel to the Great Wei fire.

Liu Chu has been working with Lu Zhengxuan to follow the group of shadow puppets for two days and two nights, but found that they didn't even associate with anyone.

Liu Chu believed that this group of people was definitely instructed, otherwise how could it be so "incredible" shadow play that was so "incredible"?

It seems that there is no problem, but in fact it is subtly affecting other people's thoughts.

"Why do you do it tonight?"

In a side room at the Tenth Escort Agency, Lu Zhengxuan looked at Liu Chu.

During this period, Lu Zhengxuan has been staying in the Tenth Escort Agency, in order to investigate the matter as soon as possible.

Although Lu Zhengxuan also lives among the nine cities, he is the Baoan City on the other side of Xing'an City. There is a whole Chang'an between the two cities. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth every day.

"We have no idea of ​​taking action rashly, afraid of alarming the enemy. We have no idea now and have not even found the thread behind the scenes." Liu Chu said, his meaning self-evident and he doesn't want to do it.

"Maybe it was these people who were bribed by non-local people overseas." Lu Zhengxuan said.

"Impossible. I don't believe that our people from the Great Wei Dynasty will be bribed by the enemy." Liu Chu shook his head and said.

"In this way, your people should not stare at the group of shadow puppets these days. Spread your people out, and all the high-ranking officials living in Chang'an City and Jiucheng, especially those who usually get close to Mu Qing, will be stared at." Liu Chu said.

"Do you suspect that Mu Qing did this?" Lu Zhengxuan frowned.

"We people from Dawei cannot be bribed by outsiders. We are unlikely to be bribed by our own people and do things that harm the Dawei."

"Your Majesty has allowed the people to live and work in peace and prosperity over the years, and all the people support His Majesty and the Great Wei."

"People who can be bought should have enjoyed a greater kindness given by their own people than this."

"For example, have you ever received Mu Qing's life-saving grace?" Liu Chu paused and said slowly.

Lu Zhengxuan was stunned. What Liu Chu said seemed to make sense.

"But if it was Mu Qing really, there was no way to do it. Your Majesty's intention seemed to not want to touch him too much, and the time had not come." Lu Zhengxuan said.

"Whether Your Majesty will move, and when you plan to move, it has nothing to do with us. We just need to upload the actual information we have investigated. As for what to do in the end, it is His Majesty's decision." Liu Chu said.

"Mr. Lu, I don't know whether to say it or not." Liu Chu said again.

"You said." Lu Zhengxuan nodded, feeling that Liu Chu's analysis was very appropriate.

Yes, they are just ministers, and it is enough for those who are ministers to do their duty. They are executors and His Majesty is the decision-maker.

"Sometimes, Lord Lu is too concerned about his work. Since Your Majesty puts you in this position, you just need to be confident and bold to investigate anything." "The Minister of Justice should be just a Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, but Your Majesty handed over the prison and the court guard to you. Don't you understand Your Majesty's thoughts?" Liu Chu said.

Lu Zhengxuan was stunned for a moment. No one had ever said this to him.

"Your Majesty can send you to this position or take you down at any time. Lord Lu, maybe I'm a little too much," said Liu Chu.

He just expressed his feelings intuitively. He worked with Lu Zhengxuan these two days, and he found that Lu Zhengxuan encountered problems, so he would always discuss them with him first.

This is not a bad idea, but the method is wrong. It seems to be a negotiation, but in fact it is more like asking for help, and they all ask Liu Chu to come up with ideas and lack self-intention.

In fact, Emperor Wei has always wanted to find a suitable opportunity to communicate with Lu Zhengxuan in this matter, but Emperor Wei probably could not have imagined that Liu Chu helped him point out Lu Zhengxuan's shortcomings.

"I understand." Lu Zhengxuan took a deep breath.

Everyone is smart. Lu Zhengxuan can sit in the position of Minister of Justice. Although he has the shortcomings mentioned by Liu Chu, he must have outstanding abilities.

After all, how could Emperor Wei put an incompetent person in such an important position?

Liu Chu believed that if Lu Zhengxuan could correct his shortcomings, he would definitely go further.

On the same day, Lu Zhengxuan took back all the Tingwei and dispersed them, staring at the high-ranking officials who were closer to Mu Qing.

After another three days of squatting, the people on Liu Chu's side did not find any abnormalities in those who played shadow plays, and the people on Lu Zhengxuan's side did not find any abnormalities.

"The seven days will be coming soon. You can't wait. Just catch someone tonight." Liu Chu said.

"Wait for another night and try it!" Lu Zhengxuan said.

"Master Lu, are you sure? If you arrest someone today, you will have two days of interrogation. If you arrest someone tomorrow, you will only have one day of interrogation." Liu Chu glanced at Lu Zhengxuan.

"I'm sure! I have a sense that I'll gain something tomorrow night!" Lu Zhengxuan said.

"I hope." Liu Chu glanced at Lu Zhengxuan again, agreed to wait for another night to try.

The day passed quickly, and on that night, something seemed strange in Chang'an City.

The Great Wei does not impose a curfew. There should be many talents at this point, but there is a feeling of empty streets and the streets are empty.

After asking, I found out that today was the last shadow puppet show, and it was very grand, on the stage between Chang'an City and Xing'an City.

This large stage was built by Emperor Taizu in the thirteenth year of the founding of the State of Chen.

The name of the stage is Wanqingtai, which is to commemorate a woman who loves to sing opera.

When Emperor Taizu revolted, there were less than a hundred people around him. After half a year of fighting, he gathered scattered soldiers and roamed along the way, and expanded the scale to 500,000!

From now on, it is probably the southern part of Xuzhou, and it has been to the northern part of Yongzhou.

The dozens of cities in the middle were all included in the bag of Emperor Taizu.

Among the enemies Emperor Taizu encountered in his life, there were not many who were truly considered opponents. One of them was cruel by nature and was called Huodetutu.

At that time, Huodtutu had an army of 300,000, which probably occupied the current Jizhou position.

Huodtutu levies heavy taxes, regardless of the lives of the people. Under his rule, several cities were getting worse and worse, and the people were suffering.

Emperor Taizu held troops in Hongshi City and was preparing to fight Huodetutu's army. However, he was betrayed. The gate of Hongshi City was opened by the opponent's spies. At that time, Emperor Taizu only brought 200,000 people, but the 200,000 people were besieged by Huodetutu's 300,000 troops.

When there was no way out, a woman appeared and seduced Huodtu, who was guarding the city gate tower and was lustful, covered her body with colorless and tasteless poison.

Hodtutu could never have imagined that a woman would sacrifice her innocence and then apply poison to her body to poison him.

The result is that Hodtutu died of poison!

However, before Hodtutu died, he forced himself to kill the woman, with extremely cruel means!

When Emperor Taizu found the woman, the only perfect place was a skull!

Emperor Taizu didn't even know what the woman was named, but later he found a purse in the blood. After washing it, the word Wanqing embroidered on it.

Later, Emperor Taizu learned that this woman named Wanqing loved to watch operas and listen to music during her lifetime, so she built this giant stage between Chang'an City and Xing'an City.

There are about 30,000 people in front of the stage. If you squeeze hard, 40,000 people can sit down. If you squeeze more on both sides, 50,000 people will be fine.

"This story is quite touching, but the truth is no longer close. Whether the woman named Wanqing exists or not, some people say it was fabricated. However, the fact that Emperor Taizu killed Huo Detutu is true."

Liu Chu and Lu Zhengxuan were wearing casual clothes and mixed in the crowd. After listening to the origin of this large stage by Huo Detutu, Liu Chu also remembered that he had read it in history books.

There are two statements: which one is true and cannot be investigated.

"The age is too old, just listen to this kind of thing." Lu Zhengxuan nodded in agreement.

"My people have surrounded this place. Whenever there is any abnormal movement, even a fly cannot fly out." Lu Zhengxuan continued.

Today, 50,000 court lieutenants from the prison were dispatched to set up a level that extends from the large stage to the south gate of Xing'an City.

However, Liu Chu and Lu Zhengxuan have watched more than a dozen shadow puppetry shows, but there is still no abnormality.

Tonight's ambush, don't let it go again?

Suddenly, Liu Chu found several figures sneaking out from behind the stage, and immediately became energetic.

"Mr. Lu, congratulations, your intuition is very accurate. Tonight, we won't return empty-handed." Liu Chu grinned.

"Let's go." Lu Zhengxuan also smiled and saw those sneaky figures.

At the same time, at this time, a light was still on in the pavilion of Mu Mansion. The light swayed in the breeze, making people worried about whether the wind would be blown out in the next moment.

Mu Qing tightened the cloak on his body. It was just now that autumn had just begun, but the weather was so cold that people got into the quilt and didn't want to come out.

"Kill ten thousand, get me a cloak." Mu Qing ordered.

After saying that, he remembered that Killen had already left.

So, I tightened my cloak again and waited for it, and the long night passed quickly.

"Your Majesty, my secret chess will be shown one by one for you to eat. After all, I don't want to wait until I ascend the throne and try to get rid of these secret chess left behind. It's better to use your hand to clean it up."
