Your Majesty, it's polite

"Missing?"

In Duke Cheng's mansion, the old Duke looked at his son, frowning, and his face was very gloomy.

Cheng Guogong nodded and said: "My son sent people to Tianqing Temple to invite Taoist priest Zilai, but the gate inside the temple was closed tightly, saying that Taoist priest Zilai was missing, and they were looking for it. I sent people to secretly inquire, and our insider The eyeliner is also missing, it is said that it was taken away by Taoist Zi Lai."

Hearing this news, he felt very bad, and made people pay attention to Tianqingguan's every move, so he came to find his father to discuss countermeasures.

The old man picked up the beads that were placed on the table, and stood quietly with thoughtful eyes.

"I'm afraid, something happened."

Otherwise, with Zilai's personality, she won't get lost easily.

Duke Cheng was startled, and hurriedly said, "Father, could it be that girl Wei Tian who confessed to Daoist Zi Lai?"

"Impossible." Shaking his head, the old man snorted coldly: "That girl doesn't know Zilai's origin at all, and she has never seen him."

"Using the friendship between Taoist priest Zi and us, if we really left the capital, there must be a letter to tell us, but now we don't see anyone for no reason, it's really weird."

When he learned that Zilai was missing, he always felt uneasy, and always felt that something happened.

Gently twirling the ball, the old man's eyes were gloomy: "Tang Yunshu and others' black hands cannot be ruled out, we have to be prepared."

Cheng Guogong was surprised: "Father, that son immediately sent someone to sneak into Prince Jiu's mansion to have a look."

"No." Raising his hand, Lao Guogong said: "I need to find out whether the person is in Prince Jiu's mansion first, if we act rashly, we will definitely be caught."

Now their relationship with Prince Jiu's Mansion, Tang Yunshu's relationship is so stiff that everyone knows it.

Whenever they missed a step, Tang Yunshu would definitely bite them hard.

"What if the person is in Tang Yunshu's hands?"

Priest Zilai knew too much about them, and if something happened, it would bring disaster to Duke Cheng's mansion.

The old man sneered: "Don't worry, even if he is in Tang Yunshu's hands, he will not spit out what they want. Don't forget, his children are in our hands."

"My son is still worried."

"Have someone take his wife and children to the mansion immediately and take good care of them. They must not be released until they see that Zilai is safe."

If Tang Yunshu knew that Zilai had family members outside and threatened him with this, Zilai might not be able to resist.

Cheng Guogong stood up and said, "Father, that son will send someone to do it immediately."

"Wait." The old man looked at him with a gloomy expression: "If Zilai is really caught, if he cannot be rescued, he will be killed."

He knew too much about them, he could no longer use them for himself, and there was no need to live.

"Son knows how to do it."

Bowing, Cheng Guogong didn't say anything else, turned around and left the study quickly.

After he left, the old Duke immediately summoned the secret guards and asked them to send a secret letter to the frontier quickly.

After Cheng Guogong sent someone to pick up Zilai's family, he was very uneasy. This uneasiness became more and more intense as time passed, until the guards came back with an empty carriage.

"What did you say, the person was picked up?"

How can it be?

Could it be that Zilai was really captured by Tang Yunshu?

The guard nodded, bowed and said, "Exactly. When the subordinates and others arrived, the room was empty and there was no one there. The investigation found that there was no sign of struggle in the room, as if they were willing to go with others."

Cheng Guogong felt bad, turned his head and immediately ordered people to keep an eye on Prince Jiu's mansion, and must find out the news of Taoist Zi Lai.

Who knows, as soon as his people approached, the dark guard told Tang Yunshu the news.

Tang Yunshu was playing chess with Xiao Yiting, when he heard this, he smiled lightly: "It's just in time, let the news out."

The butler next to him listened to the order, bowed, and then turned around to make arrangements.

In the evening, Cheng Guogong got the news and quickly came to find his father.

The old man was not surprised, and there was no expression on his face.

Cheng Guogong was a little uncertain: "Father, Taoist Zilai has already confessed to us, don't forget, his family is now in Tang Yunshu's hands."

In this way, they became the government of the country in danger.

The old man glared at him, and said in a calm tone, "Why are you so anxious? Even if someone is in his hands, Zilai would not dare to confess us easily."

"Tang Yunshu has always been ruthless and scheming. My son is afraid of accidents."

"Confused." The old man lowered his eyes and said meaningfully: "Zi Lai is not an ordinary person. Even if he knew that his son was in Tang Yunshu's hands, he would not open his mouth easily. Don't forget, he has more than one family."

The son is gone, as long as his life is still alive, he can be regenerated.

No matter how clearly Tang Yunshu checked, he would never know that Zilai still had two sons in Jiangnan.

Wanting to threaten her family, Tang Yunshu hadn't grasped the point yet.

Who would have thought that Daoist Zilai would have two homes.

As long as he is a man, he is lustful, no matter whether he debuted or not.

The most important reason for Zilai to be loyal to his father is that his home outside is taken care of by Duke Cheng.

Cheng Guogong breathed a sigh of relief: "My son was in a hurry, so I forgot."

The old man glared at him, his eyes full of blame: "Your father is here, what are you in a hurry for?"

After all, this son is mediocre, and he has brains and strategies, but perhaps because of the habit of trusting him for many years, sometimes he is still not stable enough.

At this moment, he regretted it very much. He was too strong and killed some of his son's nature.

Fortunately, my body is still healthy now, and I can last a few more years, which is enough for my grandson to grow up.

Rubbing the bead with his fingers, the old man said in a stern tone, "Zi is the Taoist priest, I can't keep it."

It's a pity that such a good talent can no longer be used by him. b

Cheng Guogong also thought so: "If he confessed some of our secrets, it would indeed bring disaster to us. But father, Prince Nine's mansion is as solid as a rock, so it's not easy to attack."

"It's natural for my father to know."

The old man did not speak, his eyes were lowered in thought.

Duke Cheng didn't dare to disturb him, and sat quietly beside him, waiting for his father's instruction.

After a while, the old man raised his eyes to look at his son, and said, "You are going to court tomorrow, and do as I say."

"Yes."

Cheng Guogong took a step forward, bent his ear to his side, and listened quietly to what he said.

In the early morning of the next day, Cheng Guogong personally reported that Taoist Priest Tianqingguan Zilai had secret letters with the prince of the Daman Kingdom. Not only that, as a Quanzhen Taoist priest, he actually had a family business outside, a wife and children, and He is good at using his own medical skills to help people change their faces, and what they are best at is imitating characters.

As soon as this move came out, the government and the public were in an uproar. Officials from Chengguo's mansion immediately produced evidence, proving that Taoist Zilai had pretended to be friendly with Laoguo all these years, but in private he was doing treasonous things in his name.

Cheng Guogong even said that if his father didn't think it was wrong and asked people to investigate secretly, he would have continued to keep him in the dark.

Followed by others, he presented a stack of criminal evidence about Taoist Zi Lai, one of which was to make Wei Tian obsessed with her to change her face, and then brainwashed her with medicine, so that she could be used by him.

What's more, he rescued a mountain boy who looked exactly like His Highness the Crown Prince, and planned to replace the Crown Prince in order to achieve his ambition of ruling the world alone.

The purpose of doing this is to pin all the charges on his father, the old Duke, in the future, because his father made a wrong judgment and killed his most beloved woman.

Witnesses and physical evidence are all there, the speaker is angry, and the listener is stunned and dumbfounded.

Tang Yunshu looked at Cheng Guogong, who was speaking angrily, and couldn't hide the irony in his eyes.

The old man's trick was really good, he actually put the charges on Taoist Zi Lai first, and even prepared the witness and physical evidence, which caught them by surprise.

The emperor on the dragon chair had a gloomy face and was very unhappy.

It has to be said that the old Duke's move almost wiped out the entire Duke Cheng's mansion.

Is there any prince in the world, and he wants to pick it, and he can pick it clean.

Xiao Yiting took a step forward, and respectfully said to the emperor: "Emperor, I feel that if a small Taoist priest can't make such a big wave, there must be a real culprit behind the scenes."

"That's right." The emperor glanced at all the ministers, and said in a cold tone, "Check it out for me, and check it out to death."

Xiao Yiting said again: "Brother Huang, not only do we need to investigate, but we also need to send a letter to the ruler of the Great Barbarian Kingdom, explaining the cause of the matter, and only by doing it twice can we get twice the result with half the effort."

When these words came out, all the ministers responded in an instant.

Tang Yunshu looked at Cheng Guogong without a trace, and found that his expression was calm and his eyes were firm, and he knew in his heart that they might have already dealt with it.

After the court was over, Xiao Yiting and Tang Yunshu were called into the imperial study.

It's all his own people, no matter how difficult the emperor is to hide the anger on his face: "I really know how to calculate."

They just noticed that there was a little rumor here, and the old fox immediately found a scapegoat, and there were all the witnesses and physical evidence, which was really thoughtful.

Tang Yunshu said: "Your Majesty don't need to be angry, there must be a secret in a hundred secrets, no matter how scheming he is, we will definitely catch him to death."

"What Yun Shu said is true." Xiao Yiting looked at the emperor and said: "The old man has always been cunning, even if he is in the wrong place now, he will definitely try to break the puzzle. Even his most beloved granddaughter can Give up, there is nothing he dare not do."

Tang Yunshu nodded, agreeing with his words: "Today, Duke Cheng looked calm when he heard what Ting said. I'm afraid they had expected that we would communicate with the ruler of the Great Barbarian Kingdom, and they must have been prepared. The reason for this is nothing more than One, the Lord of the Great Barbarian Kingdom has his eyeliner, and to be precise, the prince who cooperates with him will definitely have the influence to win over the Lord."

Xiao Yiting said again: "Brother Huang, send two letters, one to the king, and the other to the Seventh Prince of the Great Barbarian Kingdom."

The seventh prince is a very righteous person, he does everything without leaking water, and he is also swearing to win the throne.

Reluctantly, his biological mother came from a humble background and did not have much power in her hands, but he was very smart and kind, and knew how to have a good relationship with them.

Whether it is public or private, he is a person worthy of their deep friendship.

If it was really the work of the other two powerful princes, their letter is undoubtedly a sharp knife for the seventh prince to cut off the road to the throne.

In the future, his ascension to the throne will be beneficial to the friendship between the two countries, but will not cause any harm.

The emperor naturally thought of this, nodded, without any further hesitation, and began to write the letter.
