Seven Chapters of Facial Paralysis

As soon as Tang Wuxun and Hua Manlou returned to land, they began to inquire about the emperor's news. Knowing that he had finished his southern tour to the capital, the two rushed to the capital again.

Through the fourth brother of the Hua family who was working in the Hanlin Academy, the two met the emperor very quickly, and told them all about the past - even though Gong Jiu told them not to talk about it...

After the emperor listened to it, he sighed after a long time, feeling very depressed, and said: "It turns out that Mingyu has been doing this for years. In fact, I always hoped that he could live a life of peace and joy, but I didn't expect that in the end it would be Because of me, he made him work so hard."

Hua Manlou comforted him and said, "Actually, it's not just your fault. He should also want to get rid of that Wu Ming. Now we have the upper hand. As long as we cooperate well, we should be able to end this matter quickly." , he doesn't have to work so hard."

The emperor nodded, and took the list they gave to arrange.Huamanlou and Tang Wuxun didn't understand the affairs of the court, so they went back to the Hua's courtyard where they stayed last time to wait for news from Gong Jiu.

The yard is still the same as it was when they came last year, even the room they live in is still the same, but now the way the two get along is different than before. At that time, they just started dating and didn't understand anything. The idiot couple, at least they have evolved into a sticky idiot couple during the passionate love period.

The second brother Hua who was in the capital was a little depressed to see that the two of them would not live in his own house, but after hearing that the fourth brother Hua said that they were doing an important matter for the emperor, it was more convenient to live outside, so he didn't care about it anymore. .

So the couple can finally rest for a few days after running around for the past few months.In the past few days, they have often received news sent by the emperor. For example, the officials on the list have been secretly monitored, and the emperor's men have found more clues; It is said that the big internal bodyguard Dabi, who is scheming, has already started preparations, and it will definitely be held on time, waiting for Wu Ming's subordinates to throw themselves into the trap; coming……

It was already the end of June at this time, and Dabi, the Ouchi bodyguard, was scheduled for the first day of July.

Since it is already summer, the weather in Beijing is still relatively hot, and various summer fruits are also on the market, such as watermelon, put them in a basket during the day and hang them in the well for a day, and use them as after-dinner fruits after dinner in the evening. Don't be too nice!

Hua Manlou and Tang Wuxun are living such a comfortable life every day, so comfortable that they almost forgot that they came to the capital to help the emperor catch traitors.

Until Gong Jiu came to the door with a murderous look when the young couple were enjoying the cool in the yard and eating watermelon one night...

"You guys are very carefree!" Gong Jiu snorted coldly with a dark face.

Hua Manlou waved to him with a smile, "Don't be so angry, come here, eat a piece of watermelon, it's very refreshing!"

Gong Jiu was not bribed by him at all, and he frowned and said angrily: "Didn't I tell you not to tell Zhu Mingzhen about me? Why didn't you say what was agreed?" It didn't take long before I received the emperor's letter, which read him for a long time, saying that he "doesn't cherish himself" and so on.

Hua Manlou blinked, and said earnestly: "So the statement we discussed is too flawed. If we just say that we found the island by accident in order to find Lu Xiaofeng, we did not find Lu Xiaofeng on the island but found such a A list, and heard about Wu Ming's conspiracy, do you think His Majesty will not be able to see the flaws with his ingenuity?"

Gong Jiu snorted, "How smart is he!"

Hua Manlou couldn't help laughing, "You've started to be hard-spoken and soft-hearted again, why? You keep saying things like this when you care so much about him, you have to be more honest, it's your brother after all."

Gong Jiu rolled her eyes, and said to Tang Wuxun, "Take care of your man!"

Tang Wuxun replied slowly: "I think he is fine now."

Gong Jiu was completely helpless, so he had no choice but to talk to them about business.Wu Ming's plan is to let all the masters under him participate in the Ouchi Bodyguard Competition. After they are selected as Ouchi Bodyguards, Lu Xiaofeng, who has the closest relationship with the Emperor, will approach the Emperor, and then take the opportunity to assassinate the Emperor. Before this, Gong Jiu had to show his face in the capital with great fanfare, to let the court and the people know that the emperor still had such a direct cousin as him, and then he left the capital with great fanfare, making his own alibi, and after the emperor was assassinated and died, Wu Ming will incite those bribed officials to support the emperor's cousin Prince Taiping to succeed him.

After he finished speaking, he said a little depressed: "It's a pity that Wu Ming broke up all the people brought on the island, and didn't let them act together, and didn't let me know where they are all distributed, otherwise, we can let Tang Brother, go and poison them, and they will be wiped out."

Hua Manlou nodded, "It's a pity, but there are other ways. Aren't they going to participate in the big competition? The big competition is in the martial arts arena of the Imperial Army, right? There will be so many people at that time. It will definitely not be finished in a while, right?"

Gong Jiu squinted at him, "What do you want to say?"

"At that time, let's say that there are too many people participating in the big competition, arrange camps for them to rest, and then use A Xun's medicine to bring down all those people, and then let your people identify the people on the island. On that island, you always It's not like you don't have a confidant?" Hua Manlou said with a smile.

Naturally, it is impossible for Gong Jiu not to have confidantes. You can see how powerful he is just by looking at how he can dig the eagle-eyed old seven into his own camp from under Wu Ming's nose. He affirmed Hua Manlou's suggestion, and then talked about the next step "You go and tell Zhu Mingzhen about this arrangement, and then let him launch it at the same time that day to control all the officials under Wu Ming's control. You must know that there must be someone from him in the imperial army."

"Why don't you go and tell him yourself?" Hua Manlou smiled meaningfully, "It's not good to be at odds with your brother at such an age."

Gong Jiu walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

Tang Wuxun silently looked at his back thoughtfully, after a while, he suddenly said to Hua Manlou: "Don't provoke him with this matter in the future, his eyes seem to be a little bit wrong." I am sure whether the flashing expression I saw in Gong Jiu's eyes just now is pain or forbearance, but I always feel that emotion is very heavy.

Hua Manlou was surprised, and nodded, "I see, there is nothing abnormal in his voice, no wonder I didn't notice it."

The next day they entered the palace and told the emperor the result of their discussion with Gong Jiu, but they tacitly did not express Gong Jiu's weird emotions.

The emperor sighed melancholy, "Really, Ming Yu, he has already returned to the capital, and he wants you to pass the message on his behalf, so why don't you want to see me so much? This child is getting more and more unlovable."

The couple wisely kept silent and listened to him talking about "Mingyu was so cute and clingy when he was a child, but now he is so cold and not enthusiastic about his brother" and so on.

Finally, the emperor suddenly cheered up and said: "He is going to show up with great fanfare. Tomorrow happens to be the Grand Court Meeting, so I will pass on a word of mouth to let him go to court on behalf of the emperor's uncle, so that I can see him. Well, just use that Thirty-five million taels of silver is used as an excuse, isn’t he looking into this on the surface recently, anyway, the emperor is not in the capital recently, he went to the nearby Tongzhou Camp to inspect.”

The result of the Great Court Meeting is that now everyone in the capital, from civil and military officials to traffickers and pawns, knows that the prince of Taiping, who is said to have been wandering outside, has returned to the capital, and as the emperor's only direct cousin, he is very favored. The emperor doted on this younger brother so much that he didn't even pursue the Taiping Palace's loss of 500 million taels of tax money.

Two days later, it was rumored in the middle of Beijing that Prince Taiping's son went out of Beijing to continue to track down the whereabouts of the tax money. Because the son is a high-minded man, he is proud of not relying on favors, and he must recover the tax money to repay his brother's kindness to him. Caring heart.

Hua Manlou couldn't help laughing when he heard the news, "Your Majesty must have ordered someone to spread the news. The tone is so similar to him."

Anyway, no matter what the emperor said, Gong Jiu took a lot of people out from the south gate of the capital with great fanfare, and many people saw it.

However, he sneaked back at night and hid in the other courtyard of Hua's family. This was to completely hide it from Wu Ming's eyes and ears, so he asked Tang Wuxun to help him change his face.

There is a reason for him to come back. He wants to kill Wu Ming with Tang Wuxun and Hua Manlou, because Wu Ming will not participate in the big competition. At the same time as the medicine used to bring down the participants in the big competition, they also wanted to kill Wu Ming or catch him at the same time.

Wu Ming is Gong Jiu's disciple, and even a martial arts prodigy. Although Gong Jiu is arrogant, he knows that he is no match for him, so he has drawn Hua Manlou and Tang Wuxun together. He still wants to get Lu Xiaofeng.

Finally, it was the first day of July. Tang Wuxun had already prepared a large amount of mist, and handed it to Wei Ziyun, the commander of the imperial guards who was loyal to the emperor the night before. Wei Ziyun and them were also old friends.

Gong Jiu took the couple together, at noon when the sun was so strong that they had to suspend the big competition to let those who participated in the big competition rest—this is also the time they had planned in advance to bring down those people—they arrived The back door of a mansion near Taiping Palace.
