Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

"What, it's a red crane again?" Tang Wuyi was extremely surprised.Only the poison that could be produced in the palace was found on the bodies of Zhao Er and the boss of Baicao Pavilion one after another, so it is obvious that both Zhao Er and the boss of Baicao Pavilion were poisoned to death by people in the court.

"Tang Yue, I know." Wen Tao said suddenly, "I know how Leader Zhao was poisoned."

"How did you do it?"

"Just now when the guy from Baicao Pavilion said it, I just remembered that leader Zhao has a habit of touching his mouth with his hand." Wen Tao said.

"I understand!" Tang Wuyi suddenly realized, "The murderer put the poison on the puppet joystick of the shadow puppetry, which should be the puppet of the missing third prince. Leader Zhao's hands will definitely be infected with the poison when manipulating the puppet. He also had the habit of touching his mouth, and the dose of Crane Dinghong was enough to kill him a few times. Even though he was unwell at the time, he must have insisted on trying to complete the performance, not wanting to be punched by Qiu Jian, and naturally died of poison. "

"Exactly!" Wen Tao's eyes sparkled.

Tang Wuyi nodded, paused for a while and said solemnly: "Tomorrow, no matter what, I will enter the palace."

In the dim candlelight of Yizhuang, Wen Tao looked at Tang Wuyi, his strong facial lines at this moment brought a bit of calmness after being put to death.With a thought in his mind, he said, "Tang Yue, are you going to ask the Holy One?"

Tang Wuyi nodded: "Up to now, the source of the poison comes from the court, and the secret matter involves the old things before the Holy Majesty's ascension to the throne. I can only ask His Majesty in person."

"If, this matter is..." Wen Tao did not continue, his eyes were full of worry.

"It was His Majesty who gave me the post of special envoy of Dali Temple. I must find out the deaths of Mr. Pu and Eldest Brother." He looked back at Wen Tao, "Regardless of life or death, I must go, and you should not go." ’” he said emphatically.

"Tang Yue, can you tie me up?" Wen Tao's voice trembled, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Tang Wuyi walked over silently, buried Wen Tao in his arms, and said in a low voice, "I don't have any relatives in this world. If it's the worst situation we think, we can know before we die. The truth about the murder of Big Brother and Mr. Pu, I will die without complaint. But you, Taotao, you can still go back to Kunlun, and you can still live the life you want to live."

"But I don't want to go back." Wen Tao's voice was not loud, but he was firm.

Of course, Tang Wuyi knew Wen Tao's personality. They were very different in terms of stubbornness.He remembered that he had killed Prince Jin in Shaolin and wanted to surrender, and his elder brother knocked him unconscious with a palm.At this moment, he also wanted to knock Wen Tao unconscious for a moment, and let him face the rest of the matter by himself.But he is not Tang Jingxiao after all, Tang Jingxiao will make decisions for him, but he doesn't want to treat Wen Tao like this.It took him more than a year to consider whether Wen Tao should formally enter Dongdu Pavilion, let alone such a life-and-death decision.Even though he was unwilling in every possible way, he would still hand over the final decision to Wen Tao.

"I know your thoughts. But even if we share the same mind, you don't have to do such a thing for me." Tang Wuyi said, "I feel at ease if you can live well."

"But, I don't want you to feel at ease." Wen Tao raised his eyes to look at him, and said a little rascally, "You should always feel uneasy because of me."

Tang Wuyi couldn't help being amused by him: "You have cultivated the Tao for so many years to the belly of a fish, and Master Ji is really going to be mad at you."

Wen Tao smiled and snorted softly, but Tang Wuyi knew in his heart that Wen Tao would definitely not leave.Now that he has made a decision, he can only do his best to protect him and himself.

"Okay, then we will enter the palace together tomorrow." Tang Wuyi said.

On the second day, when the two arrived at the Guanzheng Hall, it was past Chen's hour. Although they entered the palace with a gold medal, they were still stopped by the servants outside the Guanzheng Hall. Li Shu was discussing politics with the ministers and had no time to see them.Tang Wuyi was not in a hurry, and waited with his hands down.About a quarter of an hour later, Yang Ji came out from the inside, met Tang Wuyi and Wen Tao, and said politely, "Pavilion Master Tang, Master Wen Tao."

Tang Wuyi replied: "The investigation of the case has some clues, but there is something that needs to be consulted with the Holy Majesty, and may Manager Yang be accommodating."

Yang Ji lowered his hands and smiled: "Pavilion Master Tang is a special envoy bestowed by His Majesty, so there is no need for a servant to accommodate him. However, His Majesty is discussing matters with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the meeting will not be free for a while."

"It's okay." Tang Wuyi said, "We'll just wait here."

Yang Ji seemed a little regretful and said: "If King Yan is here, it will be fine for a while, and I don't have to bother Pavilion Master Tang to wait so long."

"Oh? Isn't King Yan in there?" Tang Wuyi heard the mystery in the words.

"The servant is talking too much." Yang Ji said, "The King of Yan occasionally felt cold, and he was recuperating in the Palace of the King of Yan for the past two days, so he didn't come to discuss matters."

Tang Wuyi was thoughtful, just after the Dragon Boat Festival happened, King Yan felt cold occasionally, this timing was too coincidental.What's more, Li Shu and Li Xu have a deep relationship, if they are really sick, they must be taken care of by the imperial physician in the palace, and they will never be in the palace.There must be some discord between Li Shu and Li Xu.

Tang Wuyi expected that this was the best news Yang Ji could reveal to him. It was inconvenient for him to ask for details, but he thought about it: "When His Majesty ascended the throne, Manager Yang was already serving His Majesty."

Hearing this, Yang Ji's original gentle expression trembled slightly, and he said lightly: "Slaves are lowly people, and they are honored to serve you because of His Majesty's wrong love. Does Pavilion Master Tang want to ask His Majesty some old things?"

Seeing that Yang Ji knew everything, Tang Wuyi didn't shy away from it, and said bluntly: "Exactly. This case involves some old things before His Majesty's ascension to the throne, so Tang has no choice but to ask His Majesty for advice."

"Oh." Yang Ji pretended to be stunned, and said leisurely, "Your Majesty has a lot of things to do every day, so you may not remember the old things clearly."

"Then according to Director Yang, who should Tang ask for advice?"

Yang Ji smiled slightly and said: "This servant is short-sighted. The master of the Tang Pavilion bears the emperor's order, so this servant dare not make mistakes." Have you ever enjoyed it? According to the rules of the palace, if you get an extra reward from Yongan Palace, it is best to thank you, the Empress Dowager is getting old, and I like to see you young people the most."

Queen Mother!Why didn't I think of asking the Queen Mother?Tang Wuyi thought, how could he tell Tang Wuyi the whole story of Li Shu's murder of his brother and his ascension to the throne.Only the empress dowager is the only one in the palace who knows the details of this matter and cares more or less about the relationship between the former prince.Both Li Shu and the former prince Li Huan are her own flesh and blood, she must know the details of this matter better than others.Thinking of this, Tang Wuyi bowed deeply to Yang Ji and said, "Thank you, Manager Yang, for your advice."
