[Rat cat] Long live the emperor

As mentioned last time, everyone planned to arrange Li Jiayao to fake his death. The original intention was to lure out the people behind the scenes.

Unexpectedly, Wang Youcai's intrusion not only disrupted everyone's plans, but also blocked a catastrophe for the people behind the scenes.

Wang Youcai wanted to save Meng Ke wholeheartedly, but caring about it made him lose himself. Although he didn't regret it, he was still a little confused. "The spies I placed in the Kaifeng mansion confirmed again and again that Li Jiayao was indeed hiding in the morgue, and I saw Li Jiayao's 'corpse' with my own eyes when fighting the fire. How did you steal it?"

Gongsun explained: "The temperature in summer is too high. In order to prevent the corpse from decomposing and causing plague, Mr. Bao dug an ice cave under the morgue to store the corpse in summer. The temperature has not yet warmed up, and the underground ice cave is just empty. , Li Jiayao and the four guards are hiding in the ice cave. As for the charred corpse you saw, it was an unowned corpse borrowed from Yizhuang, and it was put up there after the fire was extinguished to hide people's eyes and ears."

"It's that simple?" For the sake of convenience, Wang Youcai has never learned kung fu. Although he is not good at martial arts, he is conceited that he is smart. Simply fooled.

Wang Youcai felt overwhelmed, "It's only because I'm too impatient..."

Zhao Zhen interrupted him with a snap of his fingers: "Truth is the winner and the loser, so don't make excuses for yourself, tell me how you rescued Meng Ke."

steal?Good words come out of Zhao Zhen's mouth, why are they so awkward? ——Everyone slandered silently.

Wang Youcai sighed: "When you took Meng Ke into custody, I was knocked out by the master and sent to Kaifeng to avoid disaster. When I came back, everything was settled. In the eyes of the master, there are only three types of people. One is valuable. Take it under the banner; the second category is worthless people, let him fend for himself; the third category is valuable people who refuse to submit, and must be eradicated."

"Meng Ke may have some value to you, but to the master, he is just a second-class person. He has no value and lives on his own." Wang Youcai obviously knows that [master] very well. "The master will not waste his efforts to rescue the worthless Meng Ke. With my own strength, I can't find a place to imprison Meng Ke. After thinking about it, the only way is to send another person in, and then follow the clues to find Meng Ke. "

Wang Youcai pulled Meng Ke who had been hit hard, and patted his head to comfort him.

"I deliberately messed up a few errands, which made my master dissatisfied with me. My good apprentice immediately jumped out to grab the power, so I gave him the name of [Wang Youcai]." Wang Youcai pointed Young man [Wang Youcai], "He and Li Jiayao got together, like two idiots with the same interests, and they quickly exposed Linjiang Tower. The master ordered me to kill Li Jiayao to silence him. While assassinating Li Jiayao to cover up people's eyes and ears, they secretly switched Meng Ke and [Wang Youcai]."

Wang Youcai's tone was very regretful, "I wanted to delay time and take Meng Ke far away while you were desperately trying to catch [Wang Youcai]. I didn't expect to fall into your trap, and even my master found out about my betrayal..."

"Master, are you crazy!" The young man [Wang Youcai] raised his head suddenly, and looked at Wang Youcai and Meng Ke with disbelieving eyes. "You betrayed the trust of your master and betrayed your apprentice just for such a shameless thing? Are you crazy!"

Wang Youcai looked at him with a sneer and said, "I have nothing to say about the betrayal of the master. As for you, you are not worthy of letting me do it. I only put a bait. You took the initiative to bite the bait in order to climb up. Don't you feel guilty now that you are pretending to be innocent?" Is it ridiculous? During this period of time, you have been jumping up and down and making small movements, thinking that you can replace me with Li Jiayao, my boy, but now you are seeking benevolence and deserving kindness but your skills are not as good as others, the word 'serve it' is suitable for you."

[Wang Youcai] said angrily, "If you hadn't been a hindrance, how could I have been captured alive!"

Wang Youcai didn't bother to talk to him, "I didn't do anything, it's because you are too stupid."

Bai Yutang interrupted them impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, who is the master you are talking about."

[Wang Youcai] kept silent, Wang Youcai was silent for a long time before he said: "The master has no name, I only know that he is the hidden guard beside the late emperor."

━━∑(￣□￣*|||━━

The onlookers were stunned!

Zhao Zhen blinked, "How did I hear that the late emperor's hidden guards were all martyred?"

Bai Gu, who had been watching the excitement, suddenly said: "As long as there is a way to survive, there are a few who are willing to seek death, and the martyrdom is just to say it nicely. The Zhao royal family is suspicious by nature. In order to train loyal secret guards, they used themselves Gu worms are raised with fresh blood. The craftsmanship of Gu masters has been passed down from generation to generation. Every time the Gu worms are raised until the new emperor ascends the throne, one hundred and one dark guards will be planted with Gu worms. After planting Gu, the dark guards will take it every month A few drops of the emperor's blood, otherwise the hungry Gu worms would eat their brains and die."

Bai Gu sneered, "Isn't it disgusting? This is the loyal royal secret guard, and this is the truth of the secret guard's martyrdom! It is so cruel to die by eating brains. Compared with it, committing suicide and martyrdom is much more comfortable." Bai Gu still It was a smile that was not a smile, but it was a little colder than usual, with a strong sense of irony.

Everyone's surprised eyes turned to Zhao Zhen, who quickly shook his head, "I've never raised that thing before!"

Cheng Ying, who was watching the gate, took the initiative to explain, "That kind of Gu worm must be raised carefully with a few drops of blood every month from the day of birth. The emperor was dropped from birth, and he was found outside the palace until he was six years old. So our group of hidden guards did not plant Gu worms. Before the late emperor passed away, he mentioned it many times in a very regretful tone."

Zhao Zhen not only had no regrets, but heaved a sigh of relief. He suddenly thought that before the death of the late emperor, he seemed to have nagged in his ear—my son grew up too late, and it was a pity that he did not find my son sooner.He also repeatedly educated himself not to trust the hidden guards, and the person next to his pillow might also eat his own food, so don't trust anyone but himself.Zhao Zhen originally thought that the old emperor was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes, and the sequelae left by being deceived turned out to be due to the lack of Gu...

Zhao Zhen said disgustedly: "The late emperor has passed away, why is your master still alive?"

Wang Youcai couldn't help laughing, "The master is so talented and ambitious in the world. He looks down on the emperor who indulged in his sons and daughters because of his personal abolition, and even more the Zhao royal family who used poison to control people. The master is not willing to succumb to fate, let alone be reconciled to being betrayed by the little one." The insects control life and death, so we have been researching the method of devotion for many years."

Zhao Xiaozhen couldn't help but slander - what the hell is a great talent?

I only admit that the brainwashing ability of that person is at its peak, and so many people gave him thumbs up for his life and death, and his charisma!

Wang Youcai thought for a while, "The monk named Fushan in Zhenguo Temple was hired by the master to develop the antidote. There are many others besides him. It's a pity that the master has spent decades and spent countless manpower, material and financial resources, but still can't completely remove it. Gu poison. After the death of the first emperor, the master barely hanged his life and endured the pain of Gu insect attack every day, which made the master's temperament change drastically and became more and more tyrannical.

"The once wise and wise master has gradually become cloudy and suspicious. The once orderly and huge organization collapsed almost instantly... He is ambitious and independent. Only a few loyal subordinates are left beside the master. We are alone. Li Gu, powerless to turn things around." Wang Youcai sighed softly, countless emotions flashed in his eyes, and finally froze into deep regret.

"Master never believed in fate. He often joked that man can conquer heaven, but he still lost to fate. Losing to fate is hard to break."

Bao Zheng said seriously: "Where is this person now?"

"I don't know." Wang Youcai shook his head and said, "The master deliberately transferred me away and tricked Meng Ke into assassinating the emperor. One is to avenge my betrayal, and the other is to buy time. We have talked for so long, so the master must have left. Opening..."

Wang Youcai sighed in his heart: Master is kind to me. Although I wanted to save Meng Ke, I never thought of betraying master.It's just that the master has become more suspicious recently, he must not believe me... that's all, master and servant, let's help him one last time.

"You are very loyal." Zhao Zhen said with a smile, "That person cut off your escape and pushed you out to prevent disaster. You still want to buy time for him. If that's the case, I will be a good person once again, you Talk about the death of the palace lady and the two guards, simply delay a little longer, so that your master can escape further."

Wang Youcai said helplessly: "You can't hide anything from the emperor, but unfortunately I am not omniscient, I have to ask Li Jiayao about this matter."

Li Jiayao's face was still swollen, and it was very painful when he spoke. He sneered and turned his face away, showing an attitude that he would rather die than cooperate.

In the end [Wang Youcai] said cleverly: "The villain knows what's going on, it's just..." [Wang Youcai] habitually rolled his eyes, trying to win some benefits for himself.Everyone was speechless to him, and they were still calculating when death was imminent. Was this calculating with their lives?

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "You have two ways to go now. The first way is to confess honestly and give you a good time. The second way is to make me angry. I will bless you for a long life, and then let You understand what life is better than death."

Zhao Zhen's facial features are exquisite, she smiles innocently, cutely and a little naughty, and speaks in a soft childish voice, but [Wang Youcai] shuddered.

[Wang Youcai] didn't dare to bargain, so he had to laugh and said, "That's how it happened. One evening, two homeless men made trouble at the gate of Linjiang Building, arguing to find Li Jiayao. Li Jiayao's temper naturally disappeared, and as a result The two men shouted about the secret passage in the street, the man was frightened, and quickly brought them in."

"It turned out that Wang Wei's boy, somehow got lucky, and accidentally found the entrance to a secret passage in the palace. Wang Wei is a lustful boy, and he had an affair with a little maid in the secret passage, and he overheard Li Jiayao and someone. Secret talk." [Wang Youcai] smiled guiltyly, "The villain doesn't know exactly who and what he talked with. Later, Li Jiayao asked me to kill the grass and roots, so I...killed all three insiders."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Don't avoid the important and take the light, explain clearly how you killed the person."

[Wang Youcai] said with a bitter face: "I pretended to be Wang Wei's friend, and asked the maid to meet at night, and tricked the maid into a secret passage, saying that I would take her to find Wang Wei. I really believed that maid, I took her After being strangled to death, he was thrown into a pool in a secret passage. I didn’t know that pool was connected to the lotus pond in the palace, and somehow the corpse floated there.” [Wang Youcai] was also very puzzled, “I would have thrown the corpse away if I knew it. dealt with."

Gongsun asked suspiciously: "Since you killed the court lady Pei Wen, why did you send someone pretending to be Pei Wen in and out of Huanyi Yuan?"

"Didn't I be careful, I'm afraid that the palace lady will tell others about the secret way, so she will ask her subordinates to change their appearance and sneak in to investigate."

Bao Zheng said: "Wang Wei and Xu Fubao."

[Wang Youcai] said honestly: "It's the same as what I said last night. Li Jiayao has a cleanliness habit. He thinks that murderers have dirty hands, so he tells me to do it, and tells me to throw the corpse away. Li Jiayao always orders me Well, I couldn't understand his frivolous appearance, so I threw the body into the slop bucket in the back alley. The old man who dumped the swill usually came to pull the cart in the evening, and he didn't need to check the inside of the bucket when he entered and left the city gate. I thought no one would ever find out."

[Wang Youcai] answered every question, and explained it very happily, but Zhan Zhao still had a little doubt: "Why did you bring someone to trouble me?"

[Wang Youcai] smiled wretchedly, "It's not because of Li Jiayao, this person has changed... Poof."

[Wang Youcai] Halfway through speaking, Bai Yutang's sleeve twitched him into a faint.

Everyone looked over in unison, Bai Yutang calmly stood with his hands behind his back: "My hands slipped."

→_→Fifth Lord, do you dare to be less sincere?

The case is understood. Although the mastermind behind the scenes has not been caught, important progress has been made.

Zhao Zhen always felt that the people behind the scenes would not be willing to wait for death, and he would come back sooner or later...
