As for the old sage, holding the materials they received, his face was as dark as ink.

According to the part of the list of behind-the-scenes black hands in the information in his hand, he successfully caught several small bosses. After rigorous interrogation, he confirmed that there was something wrong with stealing the sky and changing the sun.

Civet cat for prince?This kind of plot that he only heard in the drama, who would have thought that it would happen to him alive.Although to the old sage, these two children are of royal blood, but one is the son of an official prostitute, and the other is the grandson of a court official. The difference behind this cannot be summed up in one sentence.

Thinking deeper, since they are both of the royal blood, why do they have to exchange children? The person behind this is just that the third prince is dead, and they want the blood of the official prostitute to occupy the position of the second prince's eldest son, and then spy on him. The throne, the scheming, conspiracy, and sinister intentions in it are really chilling.

The most embarrassing thing for the old sage is that the matter of King Zhaojun was verified by his own hands, but now it is found that there is a problem. It is like a slap on his face, which makes him feel so embarrassed ? !

The old sage felt that he had lost the most face in recent years. If this matter should be ranked second, then nothing can be ranked first.This is already the case with the old sage, not to mention the second prince Zhuang Wang, the father of the party who was replaced as the "prince" in this farce.

Others stretched their hands into their back houses and changed their sons, and they didn't find out after raising them for almost three years. This is simply the incompetence of the head of the family, which makes him take pleasure in calculating others on weekdays. , who thought he was both civil and military, shrewd and cunning, felt burning embarrassment.

His current "eldest son" is not only often brought in and out of the palace, but also very much loved by the queen mother and the old sage. The "eldest son" is a counterfeit, but his real child was raised in the hands of an official prostitute. He occasionally eats vegetarian food, chants Buddha, and keeps filial piety for his third younger brother. Staring at the overall situation outside, forgetting the stability of the back house, unable to distinguish between priorities and key points, King Zhuang felt dizzy and dizzy.

If the family is not in harmony, how can the world be in harmony? !

That night, the lights in the study room of Prince Zhuang's mansion were on all night, and early the next morning, he took the results of his investigation and went into the palace to meet the old sage weeping bitterly.

The old sage looked at his second son, who had always been calm and self-possessed in situations, and had a sly smile like a fox all the year round. This was the first time that the old sage saw him in such a mess since he was an adult. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart at the same time. , more is to hate iron but not steel.

"Don't worry, the child is still young, it's not too late, why cry?"

"But father, my son is suffering." King Zhuang's eyes were filled with tears, as if he couldn't restrain himself.

The old sage sighed slowly: "This time, you need to remember the lesson of time, and know that no matter when, you can't forget the rear, so as not to catch fire in the backyard, and your success will fall short."

"Follow your father's teachings."

King Zhuang kowtowed respectfully, his heart turned a thousand times.This step he took was a dangerous move, but he could die and survive.This move not only cleared the way in front of the old sage and won sympathy points, but also exposed his shortcomings of not being as cautious as everyone knows.

As for the hidden worries behind this move, although there are indeed many, they are no match for his determination to get the child back.If you don't change it while the child is still young, everything after that will be too late.

Regarding the culprit of this matter, the two of them were unanimously clear in their hearts.This was not something that the Third Prince, who died unexpectedly, could do, nor could Yuanwei, an official prostitute, do it. Most likely, it was the work of the former prime minister.

The former prime minister had always been an ambitious person. At that time, the old sage was able to pick up the power behind him and behead him. In fact, it was more luck.Just caught his slack, took advantage of his unpreparedness, perfectly suppressed and temporarily cut off his ability to fight back, otherwise, how could the former prime minister's beheading be so smooth.

Therefore, they have enough reason to believe that if he dies unfortunately, the remnant forces behind him will continue his unfinished ambitions and push people with his family blood to the throne of God.Originally, they bet on the third prince, the prince who has a close relationship with Yuanwei, but who would have thought that the third prince would die in a wild hunt, and then they thought of the most convenient way to complete the plan.

This idea is insidious.

If this plan is successful, then Yuanwei's parents and children will have a high probability of following King Zhuang and have the capital to fight for the throne, and she herself will also have an adopted son to take care of her.

It's just that the saint sighed in his heart. At the same time, although he felt great sympathy for the victim, the second prince, but at the same time, he also buried a layer of worry in his heart. The prince who can manage his own mansion like a sieve, he can really be on the throne place?

Invisibly, along with Zhuang Wang's defense level in the old saint's heart, his status and importance were also reduced.

As for Iris, although according to the investigation by the two of them, she didn't know about it, and even in the past two years, she treated the child as if she was her own child and became more intimate, but the two who passed down their anger in the same vein still thought of several versions The way to deal with it is to vent the hatred in my heart.

Therefore, when Zhuang Bai finally healed his wounds in Licheng and was about to return to Kyoto, he heard Dieye's words "One day, Iris took King Zhaoxiao to the Prince's Temple in the suburbs to perform routine blessings before leaving the filial piety. However, he met bandits on his way, and he fell off the cliff in a hurry, and the king of the small county disappeared because of this.”

Zhuang Bai was taken aback, and he hastily stretched out his right hand to look up, down, left, and right, until he confirmed that there was no legendary Heavenly Dao Punishment Ticket on the palm of his hand, and then he let out a sigh of relief.

Looks like Iris isn't dead.Maybe she was rescued by someone, and then she is continuing her abuse career in some unknown place. Fortunately, the fun of Tiandao has not been destroyed.

He closed his eyes, feeling that the almost invisible resentment attached to his body by the original owner had diminished a bit, and sighed comfortably.

Since discovering that the previous owner's son had sat on the throne in the previous life, most of the original owner's grievances had dissipated.The remaining parts are slightly invisible, and basically have no effect on the overall situation.

But he will still continue with the original plan, not because of the original owner's resentment, nor because of his so-called beautiful qualities that start and end, but because of the confrontation with Fang Kun.

Let's see in the end, whether the person he supports can ascend to the throne, or the King Zhuang supported by Fang Kun.

The collision between the king and the king, the duel between the behind-the-scenes pushers, this drama, he has decided!

"Master Die, what about my son? He won't really die, will he?"

"What are you thinking? Your godson has been sold to traffickers, and I'm following him. I've lost a whole circle of weight in just a few days. Poor little boy, tsk tsk, his voice is hoarse from crying."

"Heaven will send a great mission to the people, in order to be able to ascend to the great position, this is a necessary disaster for him."

"Sir? Didn't you just want to adopt him and spit on the tablet of the third prince? Why did you change your mind in a blink of an eye and want to help him ascend to the throne?"

"...Ah, probably because of destiny."

Regardless of the previous life, or the initial world following the path of heaven, the descendants of the original owner all have the fate of Qianlong to usurp the Zhou family's throne.Since the original owner did not leave any children because of him in this life, it is not a bad idea to let his godson continue to ascend the throne.

Anyway, Zhuang Bai's son, no matter whether it is his own or his own, is the master of that great position.

This setting makes sense when you think about it.

In this way, it can not only prosper the Zhuang Mansion, but also avoid the ending that one of the heirs of the Zhuang Mansion ascends to the throne, but Fu Bo can't bear it, and all die to pay off the debt.

Yes, the previous life of the original owner was caused by causal suppression on the Zhuang family's ancestral grave because there was only Qianlong's life in the Zhuang family's ancestral tomb, but no real dragon's life, and an emperor popped out of his family by accident.

Sacrifice with the lives of the whole family, in exchange for one person to ascend to heaven.

Facts have proved that if it is not a defender, but an ordinary person, this throne is really not something that anyone who wants to be can have a life.

Next, under Zhuang Bai's careful questioning, Master Die explained the twists and turns.

In fact, the original plan of Zhuang Wang and the old sage was to successfully switch the identities of the two children during the bandit incident. After all, the two children are still young, and there are not many people to see.By the way, for the reason of the bandit infestation, let the servants around King Zhaojun die reasonably, so as to replace them with new ones, and the old sage's men will monitor the "new King Zhao" in all directions.As for Iris, she can take advantage of this bandit incident to feign death, be arrested in prison, and tortured.

After all, even though the child was a civet cat to King Zhuang, he was still the grandson of the old sage. The old sage still had some affection for the child, so he let him continue to be the king of the county.Afterwards, if the other party made any changes, he would be demoted and sent to guard the imperial tomb for him.

The plan of the old sage and King Zhuang was basically perfect, and the whole process was almost flawless.However, they didn't know that, first of all, Iris was protected by heaven, so they let her escape during the arrest process of heavy guards, and fell off the cliff to gain a chance of life; secondly, not only the two of them, but also There is a whole stir-shit stick like Zhuang Bai, and a deep-level spy like Dieye.

Under Zhuang Bai's remote control and Die Ye's on-site supervision and command, when the spies escorted the child to the Zhaojun Palace in a low-key manner, a group of bandits who had been prepared for a long time took the child and successfully robbed it.

Bandits, killers, assassins, desperadoes who collect money and eliminate disasters from others, all kinds of forces in the world, only you can't think of it, without Zhuang Bai and Dieye.After receiving the deposit, all the forces that had already been arranged all aimed at the golden fat baby. With Master Die's follow-up in advance, they accurately grasped the little baby's movements. The spies moved.

Those who miss will get full reward, and those who win will get three times the reward. Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.

Therefore, this little baby who was supposed to be exchanged back to the county king's mansion and became the king of Zhaojun, smoothly fell into the hands of Ren Yazi, who was fishing in troubled waters, at the cost of a small injury in the multi-party melee.

Because the forces in the rivers and lakes that appeared here on this day were too mixed, the saint still lost the child after sending out a large number of spies.The sage was furious. Apart from being suspicious of the power behind the former prime minister, he also paid more attention to the development of his own spies and intelligence department, which will not be mentioned for the time being.

The matter was a foregone conclusion, and Fang Kun spied the clues from the so-called news of the disappearance of King Zhaojun. That night, when Da Lan found out that the eldest son of Prince Zhuang's mansion had been successfully replaced, the two of them suddenly realized that this is so weird Broken dishes.

"So, the letter that Zhuang Bai sent you at that time was telling you that he was going to do something?" Da Lan stared at his golden pupils in disbelief.This means that you can do it right away, Mom Ji, this buddy is more decisive than I am.

"En." Fang Kun turned gloomy after his admiration and eagerness to be aggressive subsided. He stared sharply at Da Lan, who was secretly admiring him, and said sinisterly, "Didn't we already put the evidence in it back then?" Has it all been erased? Where did he get the evidence to win the trust of King Zhuang and the old sage?"

Dangerously nervous, Da Lan took two steps back cautiously, and shyly said in a rough voice, "I really erased everything, Yanyan. The key witnesses I have supervised them being silenced by the former prime minister, and I have brought back all the evidence they left in private. Really, people can guarantee it with the success rate of other chemists."

Fang Kun squinted his eyes, and finally nodded under Da Lan's 45-degree flattering gaze: "The evidence Zhuang Bai presented must be convincing if King Zhuang and the old sage can believe in it and put the exchange into action. Therefore, If it's not that he has a good hand who specializes in digging out this secret, or we have missed something."

Da Lan tapped the ground head to tail to prove his innocence: "It must be the former. The two of us smoothed it out together, how could we have missed something. And he had already gone to the northwest frontier at that time, how could he know so quickly The civet cat in Prince Zhuang’s mansion was exchanged for the prince’s inside story?! So he must have relevant cheats, or him, or his soul beast. Look at the culprit who pushed you into the water last time, he was the one who found out in the end.”

Fang Kun blinked, and suddenly realized: "So, he already knows that my companion soul beast is you, and knows your carrying ability in this life, but we don't know his companion soul beast?"

Da Lan glanced sideways at Fang Kun, seeing that he had let go of his doubts about it being unfavorable to its work, relaxed the tip of his tail, and sneered: "For a thick-skinned person like him, the companion soul beast should be a turtle."

Fang Kun lowered his eyes and pondered for a while: "It makes sense."

Da Lan straightened up, full of fighting spirit: "So in order to win, let's kill him and his tortoise in the next step."

The corners of Fang Kun's lips were straightened, and he clenched his fist and tapped lightly on the small table.

The best strategy is to artificially kill Zhuang Bai, forcing him to consume points and restart this world, giving him a chance to make a comeback; Guaranteed.

But now his conservative approach is to kill Zhuang Bai while guaranteeing the bottom line.

The original owner's three wishes, he has successfully fulfilled his official career, and it should be no problem to live long and die naturally, it's just that the merit of being a dragon...

Fang Kun slowly let go of his clenched fist: "Now that the scene of changing hands is played out, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult for King Zhuang to take the top position than in the previous life."

Da Lan nodded: "But Yan Yan, you have already stood in the team, it will only be more difficult to change people to support you." And looking at the remaining princes, no one is good.

The butterfly effect has already started, and the next victory or defeat will really depend on one's own ability.

On the other side, according to the time route reported by Master Die, Zhuang Bai embarked on the journey back to Kyoto together with several officials in Licheng who were left behind to recuperate.

Because everyone was in trouble during this process, and Zhuang Bo really had a unique way of courting relationships and eating, drinking and having fun, so along the way, he got along with these officials smoothly and called them brothers.

Three days later, under the careful calculation of Zhuang Bai and Dieye, when a group of pedestrians passed by Fujiang Town and rested here for one night and prepared to go on the road the next day, they found that the gate of the city was heavily guarded, and the soldiers guarding the city had all kinds of expressions on their faces. Serious, strict interrogation, and even grain trucks were not let go, the inspection was very careful.

An official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice sent a servant to inquire about it, and the servant reported back shortly afterwards: "I heard that a dozen young children were lost in the temple fair in Fujiang Town last night, including a pair of grandsons and granddaughters of the old lady in this town. Therefore, since last night, Fujiang Town has sealed off the city gates, allowing entry and no exit, and anyone who leaves the city will be subject to a fairly strict body search and inspection."

"Fujiang Town, but where is Old Magi Lu's native place?"

"Exactly."

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment heard this and frowned for a moment, couldn't help but took out their official seals, went to the gate of the city to inquire about the details, and after a while came back, they apologized: "I'm sorry, I was a little ticklish at the time, I don't know..."

Zhuang Bai chuckled, "Master Sun can't help but want to solve the case here."

"Hey, I really can't hide it from General Zhuang." Mr. Sun from the Ministry of Punishment stroked his beard and said embarrassedly: "That's true. In addition, the old prefect of Fujiang Town has a kind of kindness to me. I really can't bear him. Enduring the pain of losing grandchildren, therefore, this..."

"No problem, no problem," Zhuang Bo and other officials immediately waved their hands, "Anyway, with Mr. Sun's miraculous means, this case can be solved in just two days, so we have the right to think that we are exhausted. It’s okay to rest for two days.”

"Besides," Zhuang Bai added, narrowing his eyes slyly, "we can also see Mr. Sun's demeanor in solving the case, maybe we can be of some help."

"Yes, yes, when it comes to portraiture, I must be better at it."

"In terms of memory, I'm the number one."

Everyone said something to each other, but after a while, the atmosphere became heated, and finally someone suddenly said:

"When it comes to beating people, we still have to rely on General Zhuang."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

In this way, with the unanimous consent of everyone, everyone stayed in Fujiang Town for two days.

During these two days, Mr. Sun also gave full play to his expertise in criminal cases, and finally tracked down the gathering place of the traffickers on the second day.

But it is a pity, perhaps because the wind in the inner city these two days was too tight, which made them feel panic, so when they found the children, there were only a group of children who had been starving for almost a day in the empty house .

According to the children's account, the traffickers only took away a few healthy and obedient ones at their discretion, and all the restless ones were thrown here.

The old magistrate of Fujiang Town was very grateful, and finally found his grandson and granddaughter. Although he suffered a lot, it is a great fortune that they are safe.As for the remaining children, some of them were registered and picked up one by one by the sufferers who had been waiting for a long time, and some of the children who were not cared about, some who could remember their location, were escorted back to their hometowns, and their parents refused to take them away. , they were escorted back again.

The remaining five or six who were too young to remember were left at the mansion by the magistrate of Fujiang, who kept chanting about the blessings of the Buddha.If there is still no one to look for after one month, he will check to see if there are adoptions around, and arrange a way out for them, in order to thank God for his kindness and Buddha's blessing.

After all, in this difficult world, most of the lost children are those who were abandoned and sold by their parents.

On the last day before everyone left, when Zhuang Bai came to the old magistrate's mansion to look for Mrs. Sun, he stopped by to visit the remaining six little dolls in the compound.

I saw the handsome and handsome man walking among these young children with a smile on his face, teasing him with expressions and poses that he thought were funny or cute from time to time.

There are six children in total, two girls and four boys, all between two and three years old. They are at the age of innocence. Before Zhuang Bai arrived, they were being taken care of by a few maids, laughing "hahahaha". Heartless.

As soon as Zhuang Bo's funny appearance appeared, four of them cried in fright, and the remaining two raised their eyes and smiled curiously, and the other suddenly put down the puppet in his hand, giggling non-stop.

Zhuang Bo's funny expression paused, following the loud and festive laughter, he looked at the little fat man on the left who laughed the loudest, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Because he wanted to find a suitable reason to adopt his godson who was in the middle of it, so although Zhuang Bai said that he was smiling and making funny expressions at this time, in fact, his whole body was leaking. Murderous.

Among the six dolls present, except for the godson he believed would be blocked by him and unable to feel it, the remaining five dolls would feel his chilling aura.Originally, I thought that five people would cry in fright, but I didn't expect that there would be a nervous little fat man among them.

It's really... the more people look at it, the more joyful it is.
