Chapter 74 Decisions
After leaving the Prime Minister's Office last night, Gai Zheng stepped down to interrogate the "suspects" he arrested. He did not close his eyes all night and had almost no clues.
Seeing dawn, Gai Zheng had no choice but to send someone to guard the North Palace Guard. He asked his subordinates to invite people without disturbing Chunyu Jin as long as they saw Wang Fang.
This time, Gai was determined to get useful information from Wang Fang even if he was a grandson once today.
Seeing that Wang Fang was invited, Gai Zheng's heart was overwhelmed. He knew that Wang Fang must have known what he invited him for, and willing to come meant that he had the opportunity to discuss.
This also made Gai Zheng completely ignore the gap in official ranks between the two sides, and looked at the attentive look of seeing Shangguan, and invited Wang Fang to the upstairs room.
"Put all the specialty dishes in your restaurant and bring a jar of wine that has been stored for more than 20 years. Lord Wang is my distinguished guest, so don't neglect it."
Gai Zheng reminded the store owner and then chatted with Wang Fang about the characteristics of the store.
After waiting for the order, all the dishes were served, and after pouring the old wine on it, the door of the room was closed, and he had been anxious and raised the wine and said to Wang Fang, "Mr. Wang, I am a military officer, and I am reckless and straightforward. I invite you to come this time, just for the monsters in the city.
If you have a good intention, I won’t say it. This case involves my life and fortune. If the monsters shock the king, I... it would be as simple as dismissing my post and investigating it.
This time, as long as Lord Wang can help me, as long as I do not involve the interests of the minister in the future, I will use the right place to build a good place, and I will definitely do it all in one's own way!"
Gai was following Li Yao all the way up and saw the consequences of losers in the officialdom struggle. Especially in recent years, the increasingly fierce battle between the crown princes, many victims were searched and beheaded.
If a monster causes trouble at the King's birthday celebration, it will definitely be used by the King's group to attack the Prime Minister.
Although the Prime Minister usually treats Guzheng well, if he needs to sacrifice Guzheng to stop loss, Li Yao will never blink.
It is related to the life and death of the family, and there is no need to worry about it.
After several contacts with Wang Fang, Gai Zheng knew that although he served in the North Palace Guard, his behavior was different from that of the eldest prince. In particular, he revealed the treasure of the demon clan to Li Xiang, which proved that he was not the eldest prince's person.
This made Gai Zheng regard Wang Fang as his life-saving straw.
Since Li Xiang allowed himself to make friends with Wang Fang, Gai Zheng, who was desperate, had no worries.
Gai was toasting Wang Fang, and his posture was very low.
Wang Fang picked up the wine glass and said, "Sir Gai, I, Wang Fang, are not interested in the dispute over the crown prince. I believe you and Li Xiang know each other well. I am willing to come this time, which means I want to help.
After drinking this glass of wine, let’s talk about the serious business.”
After hearing what Wang Fang said, Gai Zheng was stunned for a moment and turned over. He didn't expect that Wang Fang would agree so happily. Seeing that Wang Fang had drunk all the wine, Gai Zheng also drank the wine in the glass and asked earnestly: "What news does Lord Wang know?"
Wang Fang said: "I told Lord Gai yesterday that I really don't know where the monsters that sneaked in are hiding. But... If Lord Gai helps me do a show, maybe I can help you find them.
But I can't guarantee that I will find it, I can only say that the probability is still very high."
Gai Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this. No matter how likely he was to use Wang Fang's method, it was better than searching everywhere like a headless fly now.
"Sir Wang, please tell me, how do you want me to cooperate with you in the show."
Wang Fang said: "Mr. Gai should be able to mobilize most of the troops in Zejun now. After you go back, you will immediately mobilize all your men and complete all the birthday celebrations tomorrow dawn.
I asked the city of Tomorrow to look like a celebration, and even the people should regard tomorrow as a real celebration.
Lord Gai, can you do it?"
When Gai Zheng heard that Wang Fang had made this request, he could not answer for a moment.
The next day is the king's birthday celebration. The king who has lived in the palace for a long time will climb the Guanhai Tower to have fun with the people and gather in the city to have a carnival.
At that time, hundreds of stages, opera troupes, and juggling at the same time; there were colorful lanterns, colorful flags in the sky, and flying performances; the people would take to the streets to pray for the king and share the prosperity.
Fireworks will continue from morning to night.
There were hundreds of thousands of people working together at a celebration. If it were just to act a play... this play would be too big.
Gai Zheng dared not agree easily.
"Mr. Wang, what is the purpose of asking Gai to do this drama?"
Wang Fang also knew that the play was a bit too big. If he didn't explain it clearly, there was no legitimate reason, so Gai Zhen would not dare to act with him.
So Wang Fang said, "Do you still remember the monster I mentioned last night that I caught from the Demon Tempering Garden? I was able to ask about the treasures of the demon clan from him because I used tricks to gain his trust.
Now I pretend to rescue him and hide it in a house somewhere.
I can be sure that he is in the same group as the monster lurking into the city, but it is hard to ask the monster's location directly.
If we can make him think that tomorrow's play is the birthday celebration of the king, then for him, what has happened is no secret.
I want to ask anything much more convenient.
…”
After hearing Wang Fang's plan, Gai Zheng couldn't help but take a breath and cheer for this big deal.
"Mr. Wang's plan is really amazing. Guest must cooperate with each other."
For Gai Zheng, it is not too difficult to rehearse the King's birthday celebration one day in advance. It is nothing more than the expenses and reactions from all parties. Especially those censors who like to pick on their flesh and blood will definitely criticize Gai Zheng on the grounds of being exhausted by the people and suffering from money.
For the Dongdian Guard, he can still take out the expenses by gritting his teeth.
As for the reactions of all parties... After siege and kill the lurking monsters, you can block the mouths of Youyou and leave a good story.
If you can't find the monster and your head is almost gone, do you still need to consider the accusation of the censor?
After discussing the details of the complete scene with Wang Fang, Gai Zheng hurriedly left the restaurant.
He only has one day and one night left. He has to complete the entire celebration arrangement, notify all parties of rehearsals, and arrange to cooperate with Wang Fang's troops. This is not an easy task.
But there is dawn in front of him. As long as he can get the hiding place of the lurking monster tomorrow, he can find out all the monsters he killed these days before the real king's birthday celebration.
After Gai was leaving, Wang Fang called the waiter, pointed to the unmoved wine and food on the table and said, "Put the food box and put them all away, I want to take them away."
The waiter had been instructed by the manager to be careful to serve the guests. Therefore, seeing that Wang Fang was so weak that he wanted to take away the food and drinks, he did not dare to neglect any.
He immediately found a food box, carefully put the dishes in, and said, "Sir, my shopkeeper has called a carriage for you, and is waiting downstairs."
"Thank you."
