"Tsk tsk, what kind of hobby is this?”At a breakfast stall, Xiao Rui was eating fried dough sticks and soy milk while looking at the two people in front of him with a smile.
" Sir, we didn't know that the traps in your residence were so powerful..." Pei Lun coughed awkwardly and said helplessly.
Hearing his words, Xiao Rui chuckled.
Yes, Xiao Rui's home, although it looked magnificent, it could be said to be extremely dangerous inside.
When the house was being built, Xiao Rui and his master had started a game of mechanics. The two of them had added almost everything they could think of into it.
There were two sets of traps in the house. One set was relatively peaceful and was usually activated. The other set was extremely dangerous. Both were deadly traps.
Usually, Xiao Rui would use the same set of peaceful mechanisms, but even so, he still managed to mess with the two people in front of him.
The two people who came to look for Xiao Rui were none other than Shen Lian, whom he had let go of yesterday. However, if it were not for Shen Lian, Xiao Rui would not have been able to steal the treasure ship's manufacturing notes out of the archive. The other person was Pei Lun, who had been helping Xiao Rui investigate the case these days.
Speaking of which, this guy was really unlucky. He was almost able to find out the truth. He found out that Guo Zhen used to be a supervisor in the Western Army. It was probably because of Shen Lian's relationship with Guo Zhen. Then, Shen Lian and Guo Zhen plotted to sink the treasured ship. Then, Shen Lian killed Guo Zhen. It must be said that sometimes, there was something wrong with this big head…
"He's just a small hundred-family household, how can he command the imperial palace's eunuch? Is there tofu pudding in your big head?”Xiao Rui looked at him with disdain and said calmly. Hearing Xiao Rui's words, Pei Lun also smiled awkwardly...
" Just as you said, my brain might not be working well, especially since I still want to keep this credit to the Jinyiwei. So, I went to find Thousand-man Lu last night, but... Sigh..." Pei Lun helplessly hugged Xiao Rui and said with a sad face.
Then, he told Xiao Rui about what happened last night.
Initially, he came to find Lu Wenzhao, the Thousand Households of the Jinyiwei, to tell him that Shen Lian might be related to this case. However, he was ambushed by Lu Wenzhao. There was also a woman who used the Qi family's saber technique and a strong man who used an iron rod. In the end, Pei Lun used a crossbow to kill the strong man who might be stronger than him and escaped. He was then rescued by Shen Lian.
It was obvious that these two men had put aside their past grudges after meeting each other. The two of them discussed for a while and came to look for Xiao Rui because Xiao Rui was the only one they could trust now. Hearing their words, Xiao Rui narrowed his eyes and thought about it.
Lu Wenzhao was also in the west army back then, and he happened to be in the same army as Guo Zhen. Therefore, the person who had hooked up with Guo Zhen should be him. However, if he wanted to change the dynasty, he, Lu Wenzhao, was not worthy!
Moreover, Pei Lun and Lu Wenzhao had said that they had people in every department of the imperial court, which meant that they were a powerful force.
In the Great Zhou, there were not many people who had such power, or rather, there were not many people who had the status to make these powers submit to them. Other than the Emperor, Cao Zhengchun was one of them. However, this eunuch could not be the Emperor. The other person should be…
"Ning Wang!" Thinking of this, Xiao Rui's eyes instantly narrowed. He thought of a person, a person who really wanted to be the emperor.
Of course, other than Prince Ning, there were also many people who wanted to be emperor.
Because this was a comprehensive martial arts world, there were many things in this world.
For example, there were several major forces inside and outside the Imperial City. In addition to the Dragon Guardians and the Embroidered Uniform Guards, there were also the Six Fan School, the Divine Constabulary, and the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
Even though Xiao Rui had never seen The Best in the World, he knew that Zhu Budian of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa also wanted to be the emperor. However, he was not qualified to convince the officials.
The imperial court was still largely controlled by the Donglin Party, and the person they wanted to kill the most was the leader of the eunuchs, Cao Zhengchun. However, Cao Zhengchun was unable to do anything because the Emperor was watching him from behind. In that case, the Donglin Party's only chance was to change the Emperor.
If it was anyone else, it would definitely not work. The Emperor did not have any children yet, so their target could only be the Emperor's uncle, Prince Ning!
Thinking of this, all the questions in his mind were solved.
Lu Wenzhao must have sought refuge with Queen Ning and got in touch with Guo Zhen. Guo Zhen then tampered with the treasure ship, wanting to drown the Emperor. Unexpectedly, the Emperor was saved by Gong Xicai. In that case, the reason why the Emperor, who was originally suffering from typhoid fever, was about to die should be closely related to the imperial doctors in the palace.
In an instant, a large net appeared in Xiao Rui's mind. The six ministries, the yamen, the imperial doctors in the palace, and even the chamberlains…Thinking of this, Xiao Rui couldn't help but have a headache. He knew that this case wasn't that simple…
"I'll give you two a task. Spread two pieces of news. First, I have the Treasured Ship's Overseer's Notes. Second, I also have Beizhai!”Looking at the two people in front of him, Xiao Rui chuckled and said to them.
"Then wouldn't you become the target of everyone's arrows?”Hearing Xiao Rui's words, Pei Lun couldn't help but say worriedly.
"If you don't give the snake a reason to come out of its hole, how can the snake come out of its hole?”Xiao Rui picked up the soy milk in front of him and finished it in one gulp. Then, he threw down a dozen copper coins and turned to leave. Looking at Xiao Rui's back, Pei Lun and Shen Lian could not help but look at each other. They seemed to have suddenly understood what it meant to be fearless for the people…
Of course, Xiao Rui wasn't really fearless. After he left the breakfast stall, he went to the palace. He first went to Jiang Jiayuan's place and found Gong Xicai's three uncles. He asked them to strengthen the defense of the palace and monitor everyone in the palace. The Emperor, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager had all sent heavy guards. The only army that Xiao Rui could trust now was probably the imperial guards.
Then he went to see the Emperor. At this time, the Emperor was still pretending to be sick. Xiao Rui told him to send everyone away before telling him the news that he had found…
Although there was no other real evidence other than the notes of the treasure ship, the Emperor still chose to believe Xiao Rui, because whether what Xiao Rui said was true or not, they would know tonight!
