Si Tian Guan

Chapter 96 White Chess

Just kidding, after the dishes were served, Bai Shilei was driven across to sit with Fang Wuyang.

Qu Shenzhou held the jug, filled the wine for the four of them one by one, and then stood silently behind Liu Chongming.

Although Fang Wuyang likes to be lively and fragrant, he is not as anxious as King Ning and can't think about it. What's more, if he doesn't get things from his friends, he doesn't think about them.

As usual, he seldom talked about his affairs with others, he only asked what was going on in the capital, and then talked about what he had seen and heard on the road.

Liu Chongming and Bai Shiyan were fine, but Bai Shilei was angry when he mentioned Ren Rui.

"I just can't figure it out, how can this kind of person turn over?"

Of the few people present, he was the only one who had been to Jinnan Mansion and witnessed the misery under the flood with his own eyes.

"Those rogues have all admitted that it was Ren Rui who protected them, robbed them of their wealth and people, and took them to Lin County not far away to sell them. If Feng Yu hadn't snatched them away, I would have killed this dog on the way Something is impossible."

Fang Wuyang played with the jade handle in his hand, and poured a basin of water on his face to cool him: "Where is the bandit?"

Bai Shilei was stunned: "I was escorted back to Beijing with me last year."

"Then Qiuqiu was beheaded," Bai Shiyan continued to help him: "Now the bones are all turned into ashes. If you are impatient, you must have entered reincarnation. Where can you 'admit it yourself'?"

It was only then that Bai Shilei understood Fang Wuyang's question - this is called death without testimony. He opened his mouth, but couldn't refute anything.

"Don't say that there are no bandits, even if there are, it's not impossible to retract the confession." Liu Chongming also spoke slowly.

"I went to check the files of Dali Temple. Rong Jiu'an's head was covered with feces. The relief money was embezzled and the treasury was empty. The soldiers were hungry, so naturally they couldn't resist the bandits, and they didn't have the money to build dams to control the water."

"Rong Jiuan..." Bai Shiyan sighed, "It's a pity."

Liu Chongming sneered: "You think it's a pity for Rong Jiuan, but some people think it's a pity for Ren Rui."

Now all the brothers of the Bai family turned their heads: "Who is it? What's wrong with Ren Rui?"

"Someone, I guess," Liu Chongming smiled, "If no one is behind, how could Ren Rui turn over?"

For many people, Ren Ruicao is greedy for human life, but for others, Ren Rui is a ruthless character who can lead soldiers. Whoever catches Ren Rui this time, Ren Rui is their dog.

Reminded by Qu Shenzhou, he secretly paid attention to the case of Chen Fuwei, and sure enough, he saw that the fire had burned on Feng Yu before he knew it.

At first, it was just a crime of coercion|rape, at best he was sent to the army and exiled. If he secretly manipulated and put him directly in King Qi's garrison outside the city, the matter would be easily exposed.

However, everyone pushed the wall against the wall, and Feng Yu was once proud of himself under King Qi, and offended some people.

I heard that soon someone secretly reported that when Feng Yu went to Luocheng to suppress the bandits last year, he was very happy and framed many civilians as bandits, which was counted in the amount of rewards.

What's more, it is said that witnesses from a long time ago have been dug up, saying that Feng Yu killed innocent people indiscriminately and pretended to be military exploits like this, not once or twice.

Although these rumors are still just hearsay, and none of them have been brought to light, Liu Chongming knows that if it is really brought out, it will not only be Feng Yu's military exploits that will be criticized, but King Qi.

If King Qi is smart, he will know how to suppress the rumors, if he is dull, he can only consider abandoning his pawns to save the car after these rumors are rampant.

When he told Qu Shenzhou about this, Qu Chenzhou had no choice but to say - King Qi, an idiot, can only be manipulated without Jiang Xingzhi's advice, and Feng Yu is unlucky to follow such a master.

Even Jiang Xingzhi can give up at will, and I'm afraid he won't be able to keep Feng Yu this time either.

King Qi only thinks that he has many elite soldiers and generals, but he doesn't know that loyalty is hard to find, and he can't just look at the one above him.

"The imperial concubine is not pregnant yet, so the three-legged power cannot be broken." On this point, the two of them had the same opinion: "Let's help the idiot a little bit."

But before that... If you fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside.

Liu Chongming shook the teacup and poured the residual tea into the saucer beside him. Qu Shenzhou wanted to refill it, but he raised his hand to block it.

"Shi Lei," he greeted the little guy who was complaining non-stop: "Shen Zhou has been serving him all the time, he hasn't eaten yet, you take him out to have something to eat."

Bai Shilei didn't react for a while, he was kicked under the table by his brother, and he woke up like a dream, and realized that he was going to send himself out.

"Oh, good!"

The door was gently closed, Fang Wuyang raised his hand to close the window, and turned his head: "You two officials, are there still my business here?"

"It's not a big deal, just listen," Liu Chongming said lightly, and this time he personally poured tea for the two of them, and then he said seriously: "Both of you are my best friends, so I won't play tricks on you. Now that the court is in chaos, The people are suffering, and I don't like the three princes."

Bai Shiyan raised his eyebrows.

What Chong Ming wanted to do had already been made clear when Qu Shenzhou's identity was revealed last year. He kept his mouth shut and never mentioned it to anyone.

At this time, Chongming said it in a serious manner, obviously not for him.

There are some tricks that he can't figure out, but Chongming will follow whatever he does, so he just nods politely and doesn't speak.

Fang Wuyang fumbled with the teacup for a moment, then smiled sarcastically: "Chongming, it's not that I'm not mean enough, but I don't understand the bastard things you stir up, clumsy, don't ruin your big business."

For his answer, Liu Chongming was obviously very disappointed, and forced a smile: "Wuhai, I know you are laughing in your heart that I am overestimated, and my arms are like a cart."

"No!" Fang Wuyang immediately denied.

"I know my abilities are limited." Liu Chongming sighed and continued on his own.

"Last year, a flood gave me this idea. Recently, I read the files in Dali Temple and learned about Rong Tanhua and Ren Rui, so I made up my mind. You and Shi Yan are the two people I trust the most, so I will be honest with you tell each other."

"I know this matter is important, so I will naturally consider it carefully and try not to put anyone in danger, but after all, every step in the future will be on thin ice. If I really don't want to, I won't force it. I just hope that I don't tell others."

Bai Shiyan immediately replied: "Chongming, no matter what you do, I will help you."

Fang Wuyang hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly: "I only have a few incompetent people under my command. If you don't mind, I'm willing to do my best."

Liu Chongming finally felt relieved, and first drank a cup of tea with the two of them, and then touched a few chess pieces from the chess box beside him.

"This is King Ning, this is King Huai, and this is King Qi." He pushed away the dishes, arranged three black chess pieces on the table one by one, and finally placed a white chess piece: "This is Your Highness Seven."

Fang Wuyang looked at the white chess piece calmly, and asked, "Why is there him?"

Liu Chongming explained seriously: "His Royal Highness Seventh is already an adult, intelligent and kind-hearted. Before that, the emperor planned to make him king. If he becomes king, he will have another enemy."

He taps the white chess piece.

"The three princes are currently powerful in the court, so my plan is to choose the one who is good first."

Fang Wuyang's gaze was fixed on the white chess piece.

Bai Shiyan was a little hesitant: "Chongming, Jingchen played with us the most since he was a child, and Concubine Xian and Qingru are also on good terms, so it wouldn't be too good to do something to him."

"Shi Yan, the road to succession is dangerous, don't be naive." Liu Chongming taught with a serious face.

Bai Shiyan wisely stopped talking.

"It just happened that there was something about Ren Rui recently. If Ren Rui turned around, it would chill the hearts of many people. I thought," Liu Chongming took another black stone and approached Bai Zi: "We can't let Ren Rui get away, and take this opportunity to take Jingchen Follow Ren Ruila..."

"Chongming," Fang Wuyang suddenly twirled the chopsticks in his hands, picked the black spot away, raised his eyes indifferently and asked, "Why did you suddenly make such a big decision? Who gave you the courage?"

"What do you mean?" Liu Chongming didn't know why.

"Is it the servant who can tell fortunes?"

The investigation in Changshui Town was done by Fang Wuyang. At that time, Liu Chongming did not expect that there would be a divination that was accurate, so Fang Wuyang knew about Qu Shenzhou earlier than Bai Shiyan.

Liu Chongming hesitated for a moment, and soon realized that this hesitation was acquiescence, and shook his head: "No!"

Fang Wuyang picked up the white piece, put it in front of the tip of his nose, looked at it for a moment, and smiled brightly.

"Thinking about it now, it's quite interesting. It just so happens that I haven't thought about what to do in the future, so let's play with you guys—don't forget to let me know if there's any movement!"

"Fang Wuhai, he..." Qu Chenzhou followed him into the carriage, saw Liu Chongming lying on the soft bed, and carefully chose his words: "He heard you say that, didn't he hit you?"

"I don't want to be beaten, I don't know if I want to be beaten or not," Liu Chongming looked up at the roof of the car and let out a long sigh: "Don't let me do such a thing next time, I'll be fucked by myself soon." Stupid puke."

"Sorry, no one else can do it except Shizi." Qu Chenzhou couldn't help laughing: "When you came out just now, I saw General Bai's appearance, and I guessed that Shizi did a good job."

"Isn't it very good..." Liu Chongming glanced at him, and said coolly: "You didn't see Fang Wuyang's expression at that time, and you almost told someone—look, there is a fool here who wants to seize the heir."

Qu Chenzhou knew that he was holding back his anger, so he didn't want to laugh too much, so he could only pretend to look at the scenery outside.

Seeing his shrugging shoulders with a smile, Liu Chongming couldn't help but get angry.

Bai Shiyan was not a thing, and when he was about to leave, he deliberately pulled him to ask him quietly if he had quarreled with Brother Xiaoqu.

He also said that he only looked drunk when he was arguing with Brother Xiaoqu.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he shouted, "Stop laughing!"

Qu Chenzhou stopped laughing: "My son...are you angry?"

"No, this son is fine," Liu Chongming smiled, showing sharp teeth, "I'm happy."

Qu Chenzhou coughed, and said to him from left to right: "I just made a divination for Fang Wuyang."

Liu Chongming turned his face as expected.

"He's had a bloodbath recently."

Liu Chongming turned his face away again, ignoring such nonsense, rubbed one hand in the collapsed drawer for a while, and threw away a bag of tips.

"Recently, I took time to find Jing Chen. If Fang Wuyang is really nervous, Jing Chen will definitely come to me. Then I will delay him for a while to buy you some time."

Under his signal, Qu Chenzhou took out a booklet from the kit, with two seals in it, and a dozen passwords were written on the booklet.

"Since what happened with Jiang Xingzhi last year, I have found out Fang Wuyang's eight dark halls in the capital. You go to these shops to transfer people. They know the seal and know what to do. You should follow suit."

Qu Chenzhou felt that the things in his hands were a bit heavy.

"Your Majesty is not afraid of me...doing tricks in the dark and doing bad things?"

"Dare to do bad things, I took your skin off." Liu Chongming asked him not to interrupt angrily: "Didn't you just go around trying to find a way to use my people? Why are you showing cowardice?"

"But...Fang Wuyang is also involved in General Bai, and may also be related to Lord Hou..."

"When I catch him, I'll go find my father and uncle, don't worry about it."

"My son, actually their target is me, I can..."

"No! Don't take risks!" Liu Zhongming turned over and sat up: "Go to the shop to transfer someone obediently!"

There was something stuck in Qu Chenzhou's throat, he looked down at the seal in his hand, and after a while he said in a hoarse voice: "But Shizi still doesn't know who I am..."

Liu Chongming leaned forward and took him into his arms with one hand.

"You belong to my son... a domesticated little fox."

Qu Chenzhou was stunned for a moment, as if irritated by these words, he lost his temper for no reason, threw the kit on the soft bed with a flick of his hand, pushed Liu Chongming away and got out of the car.

Drop three words: "Stupid."
