Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 195
Xie Xi looked at her father with a salivating smile, and said, "It's been several days, if it doesn't pass, will the Lin family feel that they have been left out?"

The emperor looked at his son with a smug smile, and said angrily: "Madam Su is still young, how could she be able to complete the six ceremonies so quickly? Also, this is an errand for Rong Zonghou, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. You let Qian Min Are you not afraid that he will mess it up for you?"

"It doesn't have to be Qian Minzhong's past. Doesn't it seem that the father attaches great importance to it?"

Xie Xi said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy. If Susu suddenly repents, the minister will regret it later."

"This is a marriage bestowed by me. Su Yatou is a girl who understands the general situation, she will not play tricks like you!"

The emperor dismissed Xie Xi's words, but he knew that girl Lin Zisu, she was much more reliable than this little Si'er.

But even though the emperor said so, seeing Xie Xi's expectant face, he agreed to his request: "I really can't do anything about you, you just go and find... Forget it, you child is messed up, so I dare not let you talk about it." After a while, I will pass on Rong Zonghou and ask him to make arrangements as soon as possible, so you should be satisfied now, right?"

"Satisfied! Satisfied! My son's lifelong affairs are all up to my father!"

The emperor looked at Xie Xi with a kind face, sighed suddenly, and said: "Little Si, you should go to your mother's place when you are free. After all, this is a happy event for our family. It's her who is right."

Xie Xi agreed casually. Seeing that he was not sincere in what he said, the emperor stopped entangled with him, and asked again: "I have helped you with your wish. What did you promise me? I let you stare at me for the past two days. Cao Lang, have you ever found out anything?"

Xie Xi raised his shoulders indifferently, and said, "Do you still need to investigate these trivial matters? The assassins in the palace were indeed sent by Beidi people, but the person who poisoned them was not from Beidi."

The emperor nodded and said: "As for the poisoning, Miss Su told me that the poison was prepared by people from Beidi. Cao Lang also asked clearly about the method of poisoning. It was Xie Yan and the slaves of the monk's clothing supervisor in the imperial hospital. The person who passed the poison test quietly put the poison on my body for five years."

Xie Xi spread his hands and said with a smile: "Since father and emperor know about it, why should I ask my son to investigate?"

The emperor was speechless for a moment.

What he asked Xie Xi to investigate was the matter of Shili Town. Cao Lang wrote the relevant report in great detail, which gave the emperor an illusion of unreality.

For more than ten years, this group of Beidi people has been self-employed in Shili Town, not only taking the people of Dayan to test poison, but also keeping a close watch on the movements of Dayan Chaotang.

It is impossible for local officials to be ignorant of such appalling incidents, and it is presumably inseparable from the connivance of many officials in the court.

The emperor also knew what his officials were like. What he couldn't tolerate was that he didn't know anything about them for more than ten years.

This is the foot of the emperor in the capital, not the place where the emperor is far away.

The Tiqi and Jinyiwei of the Middle East Factory in Beijing are all over the streets and alleys. It is impossible not to have heard of such places.

The Supervisor of Rites is in charge of the East Factory, does he really know nothing about it?

After reading the report in detail, the emperor's spine felt chills.

When Taizong founded Dongchang, he boasted that his eyes and ears were all over the world, but at this time, the emperor felt that his eyes and ears were completely covered by the three inches of the inner palace.

The emperor coughed lightly, concealing his displeasure, and said, "I want you to investigate those people in Shili Town, where did they go?"

Xie Xi smiled and asked: "Didn't Cao Lang say that those people had secretly returned to Beidi half a month ago? They are no longer in Dayan. How can I teach my servant to check?"

The emperor glared at Xie Xi and said, "A few days ago in Shili Town, you caught a fish that slipped through the net, and you didn't ask anything?"

Hearing the emperor mentioned this, Xie Xi immediately smiled, and said: "Father, you said that Han Pavilion, it's a long story, this matter is thanks to Su Su, if it wasn't for her sharp eyesight, I'm afraid it would be a long story." Let Hange escape."

Xie Xi told the story of the day exactly, seven or eight of the ten sentences in his words were about Lin Zisu.The emperor still didn't hear what he wanted to hear, so he couldn't help interrupting him, and asked, "You brought Han Pavilion back to the Ten Princes' Mansion, what did he tell you?"

"Speaking of this, my son became angry. I asked Feng Renyuan to question him all night, but he refused to reveal anything. Seeing that he would not eat or drink a toast, my son sent him to Cao Lang and asked Cao Lang to take care of him. I heard that Cao Lang has a lot of tricks, so I should have revealed a lot right now."

The emperor raised his eyes and fixedly looked at Xie Xi for a few breaths. Seeing Xie Xi's obedient face, he couldn't help asking: "Little Si, do you really know nothing?"

The conversation between the father and son lasted for nearly half an hour, and at the entrance of the main hall of the East Factory, a small servant was lowering his head and narrating the movements of the Qianqing Palace to the people in the room.

"Ancestor, Your Majesty summoned His Highness King Dun alone. I wanted to eavesdrop on a few words, but was chased away by His Majesty's people. I don't know what they said."

Cao Shouli sat upright in the middle of the main hall, frowning tightly after hearing this, first he ordered the little servant to push him down, and asked, "Alang, what do you mean by this, Your Majesty?"

Standing beside Cao Shouli, Cao Lang listened to his adoptive father ask him, and said with a smile: "Godfather, don't worry, Your Highness is a well-known romantic person, for the sake of the girl of the Lin family, even the commander of the imperial guards is willing to give up. This time Entering the palace must be for the purpose of bestowing a marriage."

Cao Shouli was slightly relieved, and said with a loud smile, "With Ah Lang's words, I am relieved. You have done him a big favor this time, and he should be thinking of your kindness."

"Godfather was joking. How can the son have any favors? Your Highness is willing to buy it. This is all for the sake of godfather."

Cao Shouli was noncommittal to this sentence, and instead asked, "Tantaisong, are you really planning to let him out?"

Speaking of this, Cao Shouli stood up straight, looked out the door, let out a long breath, and said: "You don't know, in those years, they wanted to kill me. Now Tantai Songluo Into my hands, let him go so easily, I am really not reconciled in my heart."

Cao Lang bowed slightly, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty has always been kind-hearted. If you let His Majesty make an order, at most it will be dismissed and investigated. Maybe he will be reinstated in a few years. My son thought that it would be better for his godfather to speak up." , give him a favor and let him go out first."

Cao Shouli cast a sidelong glance at Cao Lang and asked, "Ah Lang, it seems that you have already made arrangements?"

Cao Lang laughed lowly, and said: "This is the godfather's kind heart, let him live, what arrangements does the son have? But the son heard that the eldest son of the Tantai family has always been hot-tempered, so Tantaisong went back rashly, and the family went out. It’s not surprising if you think about it.”
