Tao Jiusi went to work in the official department during the day, and taught Wei Lingxue to read at night. He was busy at both ends, but after a few days, he did not feel tired at all, but was full of energy.

On this day, Mr. Tao still went out miraculously and refreshedly, ready to show his light and heat in the official department, but who knew that when he was halfway, he was stopped by the crowd of spectators.

Tao Jiusi got off his horse and stood on the edge of the crowd, thinking about what happened and looking for a breakthrough so that he could walk through the crowd.

"Brother, if you're in a hurry, it's faster to take a detour." A young man stood beside Tao Jiusi at some point, with phoenix eyes and sword eyebrows, and an imposing appearance.

Tao Jiusi asked strangely, "I don't know what happened?"

The young man said expressionlessly, "He's dead. An old couple is bleeding from the seven orifices. It's probably due to poisoning."

Tao Jiusi looked at him in surprise: "How do you know so clearly?" Everyone is watching the crowd, why do you have so much more information than me.

The young man seemed to have seen through Tao Jiusi's thoughts, Shi Shiran said: "Because I am the head of the Ministry of Punishment, Master Shangshu sent me to solve the case."

Tao Jiusi: "..."

The young man clasped his hands and said, "My name is Zhu Shunli, I dare to ask your brother's name."

Tao Jiusi had some impressions of this name, and he belonged to the eldest prince's faction, but the two of them had nothing to do with each other in their previous lives, so they didn't remember exactly how this person behaved, so he immediately replied, "I'm Tao Jiusi."

Zhu Shunli raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect to meet the champion of the dynasty by mistake.

Tao Jiusi pointed to the crime scene surrounded by people, and said, "Will you not go in and take a look, sir?"

Zhu Shunli: "I can't squeeze in, I'll wait for someone to clear the place."

Tao Jiusi: "..."

Tao Jiusi was planning to change his course from good to good, when he suddenly heard some people commenting: "Old Cui is too pitiful, my son just found a job in the palace, and before he could enjoy his fortune, he was poisoned to death, what a trick. "

Zhu Shunli pricked up his ears.

"Who says it's not? I saw his son come home happily last night. How can I imagine that my parents will be killed today!"

Zhu Shunli frowned, and asked abruptly, "Brother, what is the son of the Cui family doing in the palace?"

Looking back at the street interviewer, seeing that Zhu Shunli and Tao Jiusi were both wearing official uniforms, they didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly said: "We don't know about this, it seems to be with some Taoist priest."

Zhu Shunli: "What is the name of the son of the deceased couple?"

Street interview: "Cui Ergou."

Zhu Shunli: "Your name."

The street interviewers collectively scratched their heads and scratched their heads: "Cui, Cui, what is Cui... By the way, it's Cui Gensheng!"

Zhu Shunli nodded, took out a notebook and wrote something rustlingly.

Standing aside, Tao Jiusi always felt that this case was indescribably familiar. After carefully recalling the life lawsuits he had heard about in his previous life, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Master Zhu, what kind of poison did this couple suffer from?"

Zhu Shun didn't raise his head and said, "It's hard to say what kind of poison I got. I'll have to wait for the test to find out. However, I heard from the people in Shuntian Mansion who went to investigate earlier on the ground that there seems to be a brocade box scattered on the ground, which seems to have been packed. What kind of medicine."

Tao Jiusi suddenly realized that yes, he had indeed heard about this homicide case in his previous life, and it was a sensation at the time, because there was a huge conspiracy behind this case.

Cui Gensheng, the son of the deceased, was indeed working in the palace, and he was helping the Changtian Taoist who served the emperor's pills.Taoist Changtian got a prescription recently, Wei Wuyue ate it very well, except for a little overdone and nosebleeds for a few days, other aspects are impeccable.

Changtian Taoist kept improving, and immediately improved the prescription, removed the strong medicine, replaced it with gradual tonic, and assured that this time the elixir is guaranteed to make people live forever.

His Majesty the Emperor heard this, and Cui Gensheng, who was shaking his fan in front of the alchemy furnace, also heard it.He has been a filial child since he was a child, thinking that his parents have not enjoyed his blessings, and his body is so weak that he has to report to Lord Yan at any time, so he decided to risk his disobedience and sneak back two, one for his father and one for his mother , to teach them immortality.

But these two elixirs not only did not regenerate the black hair of the parents, but caused the old couple to die, and the seven orifices bled to death. Cui Gensheng accidentally killed his parents, and seemed to have inadvertently realized some bigger conspiracy. trace.

Cui Gensheng's prediction was right, a bigger conspiracy was kicking off.

Before Wei Wuyue had time to take the newly refined pill, she heard about the murder case, she was startled and frightened, she hurriedly found the death row prisoner in the sky prison, and tasted the pill for herself, who knows, after the death row prisoner took the pill, he didn't need to eat it. In the time for a cup of tea, he kicked his legs and died with blood streaming down his face.

Wei Wuyue was furious, thinking that some unscrupulous people wanted to harm me, so she hurriedly ordered someone to arrest this Taoist priest, but when she rushed to the gymnasium to see, the Taoist priest of longevity didn't come to work as if he could pinch him, and then rushed to his house , It is also empty when people go to the building.

Wei Wuyue thought about it for a second, this person was recommended by the third prince, she couldn't help guessing that her son was planning to kill his father, so that he could reach the sky by himself.

Later, according to Wei Rongyu, the third elder brother knelt in front of Zhengxin Hall and said he was wronged more than 8000 times, kowtowed five thousand times before he could see his father.

As for later, Wei Huaili insisted that the Taoist priest was recommended by Zhou Shi, the Minister of the Taipu Temple, and he had committed a crime of ignorance at most. the harm.

In the end, Tao Jiusi remembered that Zhou Shi was beaten to death with a stick, and the third prince was grounded for a month.

Looking back now, in my previous life, I didn't pay attention to whether Wei Chengxue was affected by this case. Tao Jiusi couldn't help but get on his horse, bid farewell to Zhu Shunli, took a detour, and rushed to the palace at full speed.

After entering the palace, he didn't have time to go to Yingmao in the official department, so he went straight to Wei Chengxue's place.

Tao Jiusi called Wei Lingxue into the study, closed the door carefully, and then told the whole story of today.After saying that, seeing Wei Lingxue squinting her eyes, she didn't know what she was thinking, and even the corners of her mouth were twitching playfully, showing no nervous expression at all.

Seeing that Wei Lingxue didn't take Tao Jiusi seriously, Tao Jiusi was worried that he was still young and couldn't figure out the pros and cons. After much deliberation, he decided to tell Wei Lingxue what happened in his previous life as his speculation.

Tao Jiusi made a draft in his mind before coming out one by one, but Wei Lingxue still had a calm face, and even said with emotion: "Concubine Du Gui is so stupid, it is better to kill the old man directly than to take all the trouble to fight the third prince. "

Even if Tao Jiusi had lived two lifetimes, he couldn't help but be shocked by Wei Chengxue's shocking words, not to mention the old man Wei Wuyue, who even said that Concubine Du Gui should directly poison him to death!

Wait, Concubine Du?

Tao Jiusi asked suspiciously: "Zhou Shi belongs to the Third Prince, so what does he have to do with Concubine Du Gui?"

Wei Lingxue said: "Once this happens, there is a high probability that the third prince will lose his car to protect his handsome man. At that time, he will lose Zhou Shi's arm. Who do you think laughs more happily in the harem?"

It was only then that Tao Jiusi realized that the third prince was not the prince, even if Wei Wuyue was poisoned to death, it might not be his turn to become the Nine-Five Lord, so why did he bother to do such a thing that was not worth the gain.So this is just a game, the people behind the layout don't want anyone to die, but want to hurt Wei Huaili's vitality.

Tao Jiusi said thoughtfully: "Zhou Shi is a scapegoat, and the third prince is not the mastermind. Standing behind this is Concubine Du Gui."

Wei Nexue nodded with a smile. At this moment, he looks like Tao Jiusi's husband.

Tao Jiu thought for a while, but still worried: "After all, someone is going to harm His Majesty. I don't know if someone will fish in troubled waters and implicate His Majesty."

Knowing that Tao Jiusi was worried about herself, Wei Chengxue beat the gongs and drums in his heart, but his face was still as serious as usual, and he said indifferently: "If I poison, the old man may have died hundreds of times."

Tao Jiusi frowned, he was surprised by the truth just now, he didn't care about the title of "old man" with Wei Chengxue, now that he mentioned it again, he said seriously: "Your Majesty is the king or the father, how can you be so rude?"

Wei Lingxue sneered, and said: "You ask immortals and medicine all day long, but don't ask common people and ghosts and gods, how can you look like a king."

Wei Lingxue's words are true. Wei Wuyue has been insane recently, becoming more and more obsessed with these illusory things. Pills have been practiced one pot after another, Taoist priests have changed batches after batches, and they have used the palace as a dojo.

Tao Jiusi said with emotion: "Your Majesty prefers this way, and he insisted on refining some kind of elixir, which gave Concubine Du Gui the opportunity. According to folk rumors, His Majesty even took human blood for medicine, which is really crazy."

Wei Negxue's eyebrows twitched when he heard the word human blood, and his face turned pale again. The hands that were originally on the table were also tightly clenched together.

Seeing his appearance, Tao Jiusi was quite similar to when he was taken away by the servants that day. Thinking of what he said just now, he couldn't help but sink in his heart. After a long time, he said awkwardly: "Your Highness, could it be you..."

Wei Negxue raised his head, looked up to the sky and laughed for a while, seemingly insanely said: "Sir, you guessed right, the old man uses my blood to refine the elixir. As long as the prescription they offer requires human blood, the old man will arrest me to get it. It's been several years."

Tao Jiusi froze in place, unable to believe his ears.

Wei Negxue's fist clenched tighter and tighter, until blood started to ooze, he let go of his hand as if waking up from a dream, changed into a cold tone, and continued: "It wasn't with my blood at first, but I don't know who it was later, And which book did I read that told the old man that if he could take the blood of his children's parents, the medicine would be twice as effective with half the effort."

"As soon as the old man heard this, he sent someone to escort me to the front of the alchemy furnace without hesitation, and took blood to refine medicine on the spot. Do you think it's funny?" Wei Lingxue's tone was cold, but his eyes were bloodshot. People look alienated and distorted.

Tao Jiusi turned from shock to anger, and it took two lifetimes of self-cultivation and restraint to keep from swearing.He suddenly felt that in his previous life, Wei Lingxue had killed countless people and was brutal, but this didn't seem to be his nature.Probably being hurt by the closest relatives and suffering in the hell that is called home made Wei Lingxue develop a steel frame and become moody.

Tao Jiusi: "He is not worthy to be your father."

Wei Lingxue: "Father and son? It's just monarchs and ministers."

Tao Jiusi said solemnly: "'The king envoys should be courteous, and the king's ministers should be loyal'."

In just a few words, Wei Lingxue understood what Tao Jiu wanted to say.As a father, Wei Wuyue didn't care about the relationship between father and son, so he even took his son's blood to refine his own immortality medicine; as a monarch, he didn't care about virtue, and hurt his ministers because of his own selfish interests.

This is, neither father nor king.

Wei Lingxue looked at Tao Jiusi suddenly, with a thousand words in his eyes, and Tao Jiusi also looked at Wei Lingxue, his eyes were deep and long.There are a lot of words, don't need to be clear, the master and the apprentice have their own sympathy.

After a while, Tao Jiu thought about something and asked, "Is there your blood in this pill?"

Wei Lingxue smiled: "Taoist Changtian said that bloodletting is too nourishing and too much is too much, so in this pill, he removed my blood."

Tao Jiusi was taken aback, and said slowly, "The Taoist priest of longevity is yours."

Wei Nexue raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Mr. guessed right, who made Concubine Du Gui stupid, pick and choose, or pick someone I'm going to give her."

With the experience of his previous life, Tao Jiusi naturally knew that Wei Chengxue was a very powerful person, but since his rebirth, this was the first time he had seen Wei Chengxue's methods.

Usually, if you can bear it, you can bear it, and you can't fight back if you hit or scold, making people think that he is harmless and vulnerable.In fact, all the big and cruel moves were held back secretly. His Majesty was so scheming, no wonder he lost so badly in his previous life.

Wei Lingxue spread out his hands, and after a while, the slight wounds had scabbed over, leaving only the blood-stained palm.

Only then did Tao Jiusi realize that Wei Lingxue had squeezed his hand so hard just now and bled so much, so he quickly took a wet towel to wipe it.

Wei Lingxue looked at Tao Jiusi, and said slowly: "Mr. is kind to me and cares about me. I am very happy."

Tao Jiusi subconsciously replied: "'A teacher for one day and a father for life'."

Wei Lingxue: "..." His little spring that had just bloomed from the iceberg was immediately watered down thoroughly.

After Tao Jiusi bid farewell to Wei Chengxue, he sat in the official department for a long time. What he learned from Wei Chengxue today was too shocking and took time to digest.

In his previous life, he had always been respectful and loyal to Wei Wuyue because of his teacher-student relationship with Wei Rongyu and the meager relationship between his relatives. He was also heartbroken, and he was loyal and outspoken, and never thought about letting anyone replace him.

After rebirth, she began to look at Wei Wuyue from Wei Chengxue's point of view, and only felt that this person was immoral and hypocritical, sorry for the people of the community, sorry for his wife and eldest son.

The balance in my heart was originally swinging between Wei Lingxue and Wei Wuyue, but now Tao Jiusi just wants to protect Wei Lingxue, so that there is still a little warmth in the boy's heart, even if they will part in the future, this ray of warmth can also accompany Wei Lingxue, let his temperament be mixed with a little warmth and human touch, so that it won't be so cloudy and uncertain, and it won't annihilate humanity.

Tao Jiu thought, if Wei Chengxue is destined to become the master of this era, then this is the best contribution he can make to Wei Chengxue, the people and the country.

"Master Tao, which little girl are you thinking about?" Du Qingyao finally got out of the paperwork for a while, and quickly raised his head to exercise his muscles, but seeing Tao Jiusi's mind was wandering, he came over and knocked on his table.

Tao Jiusi was taken aback, and then his eyes regained focus, and he said slowly, "I just figured out a truth."

Du Qingyao had a good time: "Oh? I don't know why?"

Tao Jiusi: "How to build a life for the people."

Du Qingyao asked curiously, "How?"

Tao Jiusi thought for a while in an unfathomable way, and concluded vaguely: "Probably...feeding a tiger with his body?"

Du Qingyao shrugged, thinking what kind of tricks the nerds are doing, and then turned back to his seat to work.
