Chapter 622 Like an Earthquake

The desire to survive is probably one of the strongest instincts of the world.

Xiao Ji'en thought that Wang Gou'er wanted to kill Zhu Di, and there was enough reason; Wang Gou'er was happy to watch Zhu Di die in a bad life! However, after Xiao Ji'en planned, Wang Gou'er actually retreated and delayed his efforts!

Therefore, the implementation of the plan was delayed for a long time.

At that time, Xiao Jien had already received news from Wang's family, and the Jinyiwei had decided to continue to investigate in depth. People related to Wang Gen! In time, the Xiao family would be involved!

The situation is very urgent. If it continues to delay, Xiao Jien may have to be wanted first, making it even more difficult to get revenge. Xiao Jien had to use Wang Yin to threaten Miao Jin again; at the same time, he quickly came from Wang Gou'er and continued to think of a solution as soon as possible.

Xiao Jien thought about Wang Gouer's situation from beginning to end. He thought that Wang Gouer's biggest concern about this was: Wang Gouer would definitely die after the assassination!

Wang Gou'er is a eunuch with no home, no room, no back, and no worries; the only nostalgia of this person is nothing more than his own life.

So Xiao Jien took the initiative to propose: He didn't want to see that Wang Gou'er lost his life in this incident; because he still needed Wang Gou'er to stay in the palace and provide help in some subsequent "big events" (excuses).

The new plan requires taking into account Wang Gou'er's life, which is even more difficult; but Xiao Ji'en found a way, at least it seems to be a good one.

... Until the fifth year of Yongle, Wang Gou'er had been with Zhu Di for about twenty years! This eunuch had a deep understanding of the affairs of the Yan Prince's Mansion and the palace.

Xiao Jien also understood some contradictions in the palace through the news about Wang Gou'er.

First, Zhu Di and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi had a grudge. The Eastern Palace was restricted from its financial income in order to lose weight. The palace maid Zhu Gaochi liked was hung by the eunuch Gou'er (not Wang Gou'er). Gaochi resented his father and showed signs of everything.

Secondly, the conflict between the Crown Princess of the East Palace and Concubine Guo is very deep. It is said that it has reached the point of murdering the royal bloodline!

Xiao Ji'en set the place where he assassinated Zhu Di in the East Palace, which was convenient for marriage to Zhu Gaochi, or his wives and concubines. Moreover, the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji was favored by Zhu Di and lived in the palace north of the East Palace; Zhu Di would occasionally go to the East Palace to see his grandson.

Something happened soon, making Xiao Jien's plan more specific and detailed.

... At that time, Zhu Di's confidant eunuchs placed their eyes and ears in the East Palace to monitor the actions of the East Palace. (So Zhu Gaochi fell in love with a palace maid the night before, and Zhu Di knew about it the next day; and instructed the eunuch to hang the palace maid to punish Gaochi and go to Xiaohong Mountain to hunt for lateness.)

Wang Gou'er also heard about some secret events in the East Palace.

First, the second concubine of the prince, Guo, took her first miscarriage and was besieged by bees and blamed her for being on the head of the prince Zhang. Guo also found a palace maid as a witness and confronted her in front of the prince! The conflict between the two noble ladies was completely intensified.

Secondly, Guo's second son, Zhu Zhanyi, suffered from childhood convulsions and could not be cured for a long time.

After collecting this information, Xiao Jien planned to blame Concubine Guo for his crime of regicide!

Xiao Jien first disguised himself as a alchemist and ran to Guo Ming's mansion, saying that Guo Ming's descendants had a disaster recently. Guo Ming was skeptical at the beginning, so Xiao Jien asked him if he had a grandson or his grandson was not saved and had he died prematurely?

Guo Ming immediately believed it eight points because Concubine Guo's first child died of womb. Guo Ming also took the initiative to say that a grandson had a child convulsion and could not be cured for a long time, which made him very worried.

Xiao Jien took the opportunity to offer the silver ring snake to make wine, which caused the fact that there was a silver ring snake in the Guo family.

I think Guo Ming also asked the doctor later, but soaking in the silver ring snake can indeed cure convulsions in children. Guo Ming gave up his last concern. He sent the silver ring snake to the East Palace to treat Zhu Zhan's illness.

...At the same time, Xiao Jien was already sending the silver ring snake venom to the palace.

Of course, it is not possible to use a live snake to poison it!

First, when entering and leaving the palace, you will search and find it difficult to transport it into the palace. Secondly, the silver ring snake will hardly bite people on its own unless someone provokes it. How could the emperor run to provoke the silver ring snake by himself? Even if a silver ring snake is found in the palace, it must be asked to deal with it, and the origin of the silver ring snake will be searched!

However, the live snake was sent into the capital city, which was not a big problem.

When the capital is not martial law, the search for entering and leaving the city gate is not strict; as long as you give enough money to pass the door, the soldiers will just check it casually. After all, there are too many people entering and leaving the city gate. If each of them searches carefully, it will be blocked far away. Generally, the generals will judge by themselves and think there is suspicious person, so they will draw them out and search carefully.

At that time, the live snakes that Xiao Jien purchased from remote places had been transported into the capital's mansion and stockpiled many live snakes.

He temporarily took the snake venom, took it out and put it in a small porcelain bottle, then buried it in the ice cube in the ice cellar, covered it with a quilt to store. In this way, the snake venom can last for half a month!

When Wang Gouer went out of the palace to purchase, he would bring some ice cubes to buy fresh meat for the imperial chef, such as the fish that had been killed. Xiao Jien put the snake venom in the cleaned fish bubbles and stuffed ice cubes into the fish's belly; fresh snake venom is given every ten days!

The eunuchs at the palace gate would still search Wang Gou'er's things, but Wang Gou'er was the confidant eunuch around the emperor. Unless the eunuchs at the gate did find out the real evidence, they would not dare to make things difficult for Wang Gou'er.

The silver ring snake venom is not found by just looking at it with your eyes and smelling it from your nose. Even if someone tastes it, there is no problem. I used this lucky poison method twice in a row, nothing happened!

...According to the prior plan, after Wang Gouer took the snake venom into the palace, he would first put it in a small porcelain bottle and seal it with ice cubes and jars and bedding.

Wang Gouer prepared a rusty iron needle and gently inserted it into the inside of the slug bottle; after covering the slug, the iron needle can be soaked in the snake venom. The rust absorbs juice and liquid. The rusty iron needle is used to absorb more venom when soaking the snake venom, so as to ensure that one blow will be hit!

At that time, Wang Gou'er had to wait for the opportunity to wait for Zhu Di to go to the East Palace; he wanted to try to follow Zhu Di to the East Palace and start in the East Palace.

The eunuch Wang Gouer wanted to go to the East Palace by himself to find an opportunity. For example, when you walk into the room, pretend to wipe the chair, quickly insert the poison needle into the wooden crack of the chair, so that Zhu Di would stab the buttocks when he sat down!

Or it is expected that Zhu Di will enter a certain room and find the opportunity to insert the threshold first | put poison needles into the threshold and stab the foot! Because the emperor is very particular about his appearance when walking, he will almost have to walk in the middle; and he will not step on the threshold, and usually he will step into the threshold position, so he can roughly find the right place.

In short, Wang Gou'er must adapt to the situation and determine the specific timing of starting the game.

As long as Zhu Di was soaked with a highly toxic rust needle, Xiao Jien's understanding of the venom of the silver ring snake is basically hopeless!

Once the matter was done, Wang Gou'er framed the matter on Concubine Guo; Concubine Guo's motive was to kill Zhu Zhanji and to kill Zhu Di by chance... In addition, there was indeed a silver ring snake in Guo Ming's mansion, and he once sent wine to the palace, Concubine Guo was easily suspicious.

Even Wang Gou'er was suspected. Xiao Ji'en told him: There is still a spy in the palace, and that person will rescue Wang Gou'er to escape while in chaos. After Wang Gou'er runs out of the palace, he will get some money and find a place to hide his name first.

There is something else about a spy, which is purely deception. Xiao Jien just wanted to abstain Wang Gou'er's heart, so as to save him from worries and make him more courageous to do that thing!

Of course, Xiao Jien has no one available in the palace, otherwise why would he rack his brains and only try to find out from Wang Gou'er and Miao Jin?

...Asolutely, Wang Gou'er just wanted to have a way out after he finished his work. This plan gave Wang Gou'er the opportunity to escape from crime, and Zhu Di died within a month!

Within half a month, Zhu Di might have gone to the East Palace more than once; Wang Gou'er finally found a chance to start a move at one time. How did it happen? Xiao Jien had no way to know after losing contact with Wang Gou'er.

Zhu Di's death brought about violent turmoil in the Ming Dynasty!

The rage of the war came again, and millions of people began to fight on the territory of the Ming Dynasty again. Xiao Jien did not expect these things, and he did not have to consider such consequences before.

After the "Jingnan Campaign", the world has fallen into war again, and people seem to be a little used to it. But this war is still unexpected.

Perhaps war always comes like this! It’s like an earthquake coming, and it won’t give people any time to prepare.

Two years later, King Zhu Gaoxu of Han was better at fighting than his father and marched into the capital in a shorter time!

Xiao Jien discovered that the two brothers were all determined to compete for the throne, and they didn't seem to care much about how Zhu Di died; and two years later, many things became the past.

Zhu Di's powerful emperor paid his life, Ji Gang was exterminated and Chen Ying was killed. Xiao Jien was revenged, so he let go of the grudges of the capital and returned to his hometown to do business and live a life with a nervous state of mind.

Xiao Jien can no longer return to his previous peaceful life, but it is just a day to live.

Wang Gou'er is a hidden danger. Once he confesses Xiao Ji'en, everything will be exposed! However, Xiao Ji'en is no longer available at this time, and there is no way to kill another serious criminal in the imperial city. I can only hope that Wang Gou'er can be more tactful and understand that he will die even more miserably if he takes the crime!

Xiao Jien also advised the Xiao family brothers to return home and give up their careers. The glory and wealth are useless to the Xiao family. However, his nephew Xiao Wencai passed the exam at a young age, and their family could not let go of fame and fortune; Xiao Jien had no choice but to do so.

...

In the wing room of the backyard of the pharmacy, Xiao Jien happily told Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei. Zhang Sheng almost didn't speak, and was busy writing and recording it quickly. For a long time, Xiao Jien said it as if he was talking to himself.

Xiao Ji'en's matter was finally finished, and Zhang Sheng also breathed a long sigh.

In fact, there is a key point in the whole incident: a person like Wang Gou'er needs to be deeply trusted by the emperor and have the intention to kill the emperor; otherwise, it would be impossible to kill the monarch.

The emperor holds great power, under the heavy protection and service of countless people; the only one who can threaten the emperor is the person he trusts the most! stabbing in the back!

Zhang Sheng got too many things at once, and seemed to have ignored this. He did not continue to ask Xiao Ji'en and what happened to Wang Gou'er.
