Chapter 257 Write It Off (Ask for Monthly Pass)

Yang Ge waited alone outside the palace gate for a long time, and finally waited for the person he was waiting for.

Shen Fa walked out of the Ziwei Palace wearing a sackcloth and filial piety, with his red eyes lowered, and made an "invite" gesture to Yang Ge: "Let's go, the ancestors from the Royal Horse Prison will invite you in." palace."

Yang Ge walked across the palace gate with an expressionless step and walked into the dark city gate cave.

Shen Fa walked side by side with him with a silent expression.

The two passed through the dark city gate, and paper money fell from the sky like goose feathers and heavy snow.

Yang Ge: "How did the emperor die?"

Shen Fa observed him: "You don't know?"

Yang Ge replied without thinking: "I know where to go..."

His steps suddenly stopped, and he turned to look at Shen Fa in disbelief: "You doubt me?"

Shen Fa responded silently.

Yang Ge grabbed his collar and pulled him in front of him, spraying angry saliva on his face: "You fucking doubt me?"

Shen Fa reached out to pry off his hand with a calm expression, and replied calmly: "In my line of work, it's normal for me to suspect you, right?"

Yang Ge said angrily: "If I want to fucking kill him, I will just rush through the barrier and chop him with a knife. Who of you can stop me?"

"Yeah, no one can stop you."

Shen Fa nodded: "So I doubted you...is it wrong?"

Yang Ge was stunned for more than ten seconds before slowly letting go of Shen Fa. He stretched out his hand to straighten his wrinkled clothes with an expressionless expression: "Master Shen really does his duty faithfully."

He was angry, but not that angry.

This is Shen Fa, the man who values ​​loyalty to the emperor and serving the country more than his own life.

This guy had never shown such a doggy face to him before. That was because he had never had a direct conflict with Emperor Xiping before.

To be precise, the previous conflicts between him and Emperor Xiping were actually all for Emperor Xiping's benefit... Whether he supervised the execution of the corrupt officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, or killed King Ning with one sword, there was nothing Emperor Xiping wanted to do but didn't. How to do it? What ultimately benefited was not Emperor Xiping and the court?

As long as it does not violate his principle of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, this guy is indeed worthy of the word "friend".

But now, Emperor Xiping is dead, and the great situation of the Wei Dynasty is on the verge of collapse... Then everything has to be stepped aside!

If he could exchange his life for his life, Yang Ge had no doubt that this guy would decisively draw the knife and wipe his neck!

Shen Fa indifferently allowed Yang Ge to adjust his clothes, and replied calmly: "Your Majesty even died of poisoning. The person who poisoned him was last year when he and Duke Xin Guo rushed to Guangmingding and took advantage of the palace's defense force. The one who sneaked into the palace weakly.”

"In addition, the prince regards you as a brother and a teacher, and he will obey your words. If he succeeds in becoming a great treasure, he will be influenced by you. With your force, he can easily imitate Cao Mengde and use the emperor to control the princes and achieve great results." World hegemony!”

"Speak for yourself, why should I not doubt you?"

Yang Ge applauded him: "What you said is so damn reasonable, I almost suspected that I did it!"

"You don't have to feel wronged."

Shen Fa turned around and continued walking: "I don't just doubt you, I doubt everyone. In the past two months, I have killed more than 1,500 eunuchs, more than 900 maids, and barbarized seven surnames. , I sent people to investigate all the civil and military officials in the dynasty..."

Yang Ge laughed angrily: "Oh, are you threatening me?"

"I know who you are, and you also know who I am."

Shen Fa shook his head: "I'm just telling you that I didn't deliberately target you, Yang Ge."

Yang Ge let out a soft "heh".

The further the two of them walked, the further apart they became, and the gap in the middle was like a crack.

"On the contrary, Your Majesty has never doubted you, Yang Erlang."

Shen Fa continued in a low voice: "Two months ago, the poison had eroded his internal organs. He gritted his teeth and held his breath while waiting for the prince to finish repairing the drainage canal for Luting..."

"Until his death, His Majesty was still talking about showing you, Yang Erlang, that he had the heart to plan for the world!"

Yang Ge chuckled and said, "Don't do this to me. The things you have are all leftover from my play, so don't take them out to embarrass yourself."

"I have never harmed him, and I don't owe him anything, including you Shen Fa. I, Yang Ge, also don't owe you anything. Yang Potian and those two old bald donkeys plotted against me last year, and it was me who blocked the disaster for you. It’s not you who came to help me. You didn’t do your job well and let the thieves sneak into Ziwei Palace. Don’t throw evil fire on me, let alone put the blame on me!”

Shen Fa burst into tears and choked with sobs and hissed: "Yes, it was my incompetence in doing things. It was me who did not expect the enemy to take the opportunity to sneak the thieves into Ziwei Palace. It was me who ruined the great situation of the Wei Dynasty..."

He was extremely angry and regretful, wishing he could trade his life for it!

The Wei Dynasty can live without him, Shen Fa, but it cannot live without the emperor!

Yang Ge had a dark face and ignored him... This guy was going crazy!

The two of them walked to Qianqing Palace one after the other. From a distance, Yang Ge saw a large number of civil servants and generals, kneeling in mourning and mourning outside the palace, crying in a mellow manner.

On the steps in front of the palace gate, a eunuch wearing sackcloth and mourning looked like a band conductor, sweeping his fly whisk away and shouting sadly: "Cry!"

"His Majesty……"

A group of civil servants and generals howled loudly in response, beating their chests and feet while crying, and their cries were like a violent storm.

"stop!"

The eunuch on the steps swept away his fly whisk, and his wailing stopped and turned into soft sobs, as if they were blurred by the drizzle.

"cry!"

"His Majesty……"

"stop!"

Yang Ge glanced around at these civil and military ministers who were crying like their own fathers. If it were a different person and a different place, he would definitely laugh out loud.

But at this moment, he just looked around, then withdrew his gaze and slowly climbed up the stairs amid the paper money floating in the sky. The secret guards on duty outside the palace seemed to have been instructed, and when they saw him, they went straight to Qianqing Palace in a daze. He broke in and no one stepped forward to stop him.

He stepped across the threshold as if he were in an uninhabited land, and saw a large number of boys and girls wearing sackcloth and mourning kneeling in front of a golden nan coffin, crying so hard that they were out of breath.

Among these boys and girls, he saw Zhao Miao, who was crying so hard that his nose was filled with snot, and Zhao Hong, who still had mud spots on his face.

He passed by Zhao Miao, patted Zhao Miao's head gently, then went straight to the coffin and looked at Emperor Xiping inside the coffin.

The boys and girls who were crying together in the palace were so shocked that they forgot to cry when they saw this strange young man with ordinary and simple clothes, so arrogantly approaching their father's coffin and looking inside.

Emperor Xiping in the coffin is wearing a vermilion dragon robe and a shroud, holding Dagui in his arms. His eyes are closed, his face is blue and black, his lips are purple and black, and the cheekbones on both sides of his cheeks are high, giving him a skinny appearance. That is the sense of sight.

His emaciated appearance made Yang Ge know that Shen Fa did not lie to him, and that Emperor Xiping did not die suddenly, but died of suffering from illness.

He said that he himself was in a daze. He and Emperor Xiping had a tacit understanding and battle of wits for more than four years, but it was not until today that they met for the first time.

The first time they met, he was outside the coffin and Emperor Xiping was inside the coffin...

Yang Ge pursed his lips, rolled up his sleeves without saying a word, and stretched straight into the coffin.

In an instant, several boys and girls kneeling before His Highness suddenly stood up and roared furiously.

"Be bold!"

"presumptuous!"

"What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you quickly kill this rebellious minister and kill him from all nine clans..."

When the secret guards inside and outside the palace heard the fierce shouts of these young ancestors, they looked at Yang Ge in shock and hesitation, and then looked at each other. No one dared to step forward, and no one dared to speak.

These little ancestors don’t know who Yang Ge is, but they do!

Yang Ge, who was standing in front of the coffin, did not even look at the barking boys and girls. He just let out a stream of Tai Chi Qi from his palm and slowly flowed into Emperor Xiping's body.

Although Emperor Xiping had died for a long time, there was still a trace of vitality left in his body. His Tai Chi Qi flowed into Emperor Xiping's body, and there was still some reaction. Although it was not much, it was better than a dead thing.

Based on these reactions, he carefully investigated the situation inside Emperor Xiping's body.

Emperor Xiping indeed died of poisoning. Most of his internal organs had lost most of their functions. Moreover, this unknown toxin was very overbearing. It not only destroyed the functions of the human body from a physiological level, but was also vaguely entangled with the vitality of the human body, making it indistinguishable. each other.

In other words, once this kind of toxin takes root in the human body, it is extremely difficult to remove it, because detoxification not only removes the toxin, but also the life of the poisoned person.

Even if it is discovered in time and the detoxification method is sophisticated, most of the body functions of the poisoned person will be destroyed, making his life worse than death and his life will be short.

Someone tried to poison the emperor's diet. The poison must have been some kind of hidden chronic poison. It was probably already highly toxic when it was discovered.

In other words, even if Shen Fa did not doubt him and informed him of Emperor Xiping's poisoning when he first discovered it, he would have only half a chance of keeping Emperor Xiping alive for another two or three years.

But it is true that this matter cannot be blamed on Shen Fa. After all, Yang Ge is a martial artist, not a doctor. Shen Fa does not know that his Tai Chi Qi has the effect of exorcising evil spirits, strengthening the body, and strengthening the body.

'Fate...'

He sighed quietly in his heart and slowly retracted his hand.

At the right time, Tang Xiong's voice sounded beside him: "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Yang Ge turned his head expressionlessly and looked at Tang Xiong and the other four old guys in the hall who had angry faces but very familiar auras.

He replied softly: "A little, but not much."

The eyes of the five elders all lit up, and an old eunuch with a wrinkled face asked sharply: "Marquis Lu Ting, do you recognize this poison?"

Yang Ge replied calmly: "I don't recognize him, but someone must recognize him."

Tang Xiong: "Who?"

Yang Ge: "You can't beat someone."

Wu Lao:......

You can chat!

Tang Xiong took a deep breath and said seriously: "Before the emperor passed away, he left a legacy to Prince Zhao Hong. What do you think about this?"

Yang Ge replied calmly: "Don't ask me, you can handle your own household affairs yourself. I only want to mention one thing. If Zhao Hong can't be the emperor, send him back to Luting with all his beards and tail. He will preside over the drainage." The canal has not been completed yet..."

He didn't deliberately emphasize his tone or say anything more.

But after hearing this, the five elders in the hall felt awe in their hearts.

Yang Ge didn't pay attention to their strange looks. He turned around and walked to the coffin. He picked up three pillars of incense from the offering table and lit it on the everlasting lamp. He twisted the incense and solemnly bowed to the coffin three times, then stepped forward and placed the three pillars of incense. Insert into the incense burner.

Then he spoke again: "You check this matter on your side, and I'll check on mine. If there are results on my side, it's my turn to take care of it. I will get it done. It's your turn to take care of it. I will send the results over and you can make your own arrangements." , if you have results, it will be the same."

After a pause, he said in a more serious tone: "To be clear, I only care about this stall's business because the emperor has plans for the world. This matter is over and the past has been wiped out. From now on, it will depend on the performance of the next emperor. If in his heart If he pretends to be a common people, I will help if I can, but if he only cares about himself..."

He did not continue to speak in front of Emperor Xiping's spirit, but the implication was that everyone in the palace had the same thoughts as Ming Jing'er: If you are willing to do a good job, then I will have a helper. If you are not willing to do a good job, Then I have one more enemy.

For a moment, everyone in the hall looked at him with incomprehensible expressions.

But Yang Ge had already walked out of the palace. When he passed Zhao Miao, who was still lying on the ground and trembling with tears, he leaned down and gently stroked her little head: "Send your father a good last journey, and wait until he is buried." For the sake of peace, my second brother will come to pick you up again..."

Zhao Miao stood up and hugged her thigh tightly, crying loudly: "Second brother, I have no father."

Yang Ge was worried and tried to comfort her with gentle words: "You still have a second brother..."

Zhao Miao howled and hugged his thigh and wouldn't let go, not wanting him to leave.

Not far away, Zhao Hong stepped forward, holding Zhao Miao's arm with tears streaming down his face, and whispered: "Sister, let the shopkeeper go back and find out who killed our father..."

Zhao Miao could only let go and knock his head on the ground.

Yang Ge looked at her trembling little back, pursed his lips and looked at Zhao Hong: "Take care of your eldest sister for me."

Zhao Hong nodded heavily: "I will."

Yang Ge reached out and patted his shoulder: "Do you still remember what I told you?"

Zhao Hong wiped away his tears and nodded heavily again: "Remember, I will never forget it for a moment!"

Yang Ge nodded, without saying another word, stepped out of the hall and turned into a golden light rising into the sky.

The five elders in the hall watched the golden light pierce the sky, and they all let out a big sigh of relief...
