Chapter 47 Chapter 22

Di Gong's official sedan chair was carried to Liang Pu's mansion.The old Cangtou went in to report, and came out half a day later, saying, "Master is here to invite you. Master is burning incense in the ancestral hall." Old Cangtou led Di Gong and Tao Gan to make nine turns and twists and turns, bypassing many secluded rooms, Qushi, Yulan Zhu Xun, and came to a small attic.In the attic, the yellow flags hang down, the cigarettes are lingering, and the atmosphere is solemn.Rows of ancestral tablets are being offered, and gift boxes of incense are piled up next to them. Liang Pu came down to the altar, kowtowed to greet him, and led Di Gong to sit in a clean room next to the wall.Tao Gan went to the gate of the mansion to set up a ban.

In the clean room hangs a portrait of Pingnan General Liang Xiangjiao, which is very mighty.A game of remnants of chess is being placed on the coffee table, with a brass bowl on each side containing black and white pieces. "Mr. Liang, I'm here to visit the mansion today, and I want to clarify a few things that have been passed down but have not been signed, and have not been suspended." Liang Pu laughed and said, "Could it be the third time Master Di has asked about the closure of Haiyi Road?" Di Gong waved his hand and said, "Today, let's talk about the theft of the female corpse."

Liang Pu frowned slightly: "I'm afraid this is the work of an adulterer, it's extremely boring." Di Gong said with a smile: "There is also a touching story that makes people cry." Liang Bodao: "I would like to hear the details." Di Gonggong wanted to speak carefully, Liang Pu stood up and poured a cup of tea for himself, and he also took a cup and sipped slowly. Di Gong took it and was about to take a sip, when he suddenly saw a sword resting under the portrait of General Pingnan, he was curious.He went forward to touch it for a long while, and praised: "This sword must be sharp. The shape of the sheath is like that used by Baiyue barbarians. It should be won by your lord in the battle, and it will be regarded as a lifetime honor."

Liang Pu sighed: "There is no ambition to ask for a job, and I will be famous after being lonely. ——My father's depression in his later years is indescribable. Just because of carelessness, he was revoked and deprived of his official position. Even the little people can't look up." Di Gong sighed for a long time: "Seeing things and thinking about people, what a feeling. There is also a Yulong sword in my official family. Every time I see this sword, I often think about it and inspire my ambition. My father accidentally missed the big one, so it's a pity .” Liang Pu gently pulled out the sword with his hand, the sharp edge gleamed, especially cold.

"Big husbands should be like Ban Chao and Fu Jiezi, who made meritorious deeds in foreign lands and became princes thousands of miles away. Second, they should be like my father, killing bandits for the peace of the country and sweeping up the barbarians. Who would have known that such enthusiasm would be lost..." Liang Pushuang Eyes flashing, speech choked. Seeing this situation, Duke Di should not be more sad.Nai Dao: "Mr. Liang is worthy of being the son of a general. He has such a great plan. But now, Yao and Shun are reborn, and the world is in peace. Don't just think about hearing the drums and always think about the sword in the box."

Liang Pu sighed, and then sat down at the tea table.Seeing that Di Gong's tea had been sucked dry, he poured another cup. Di Gong thanked him, and then said: "The female corpse is Zhumu Nu. Unfortunately, this morning, a gangster killed him with a short dart. She has admitted to poisoning Liu Daoyuan, the imperial envoy, and said that she was instructed by her benefactor before and after this incident." Liang Pu listened indifferently, while watching the chess game on the coffee table. Di Gong said again: "Since my official came to Guangzhou, there have been people calculating the pros and cons at every step and planning countermeasures. Just like this chess game, the two moves are pressing forward step by step, reaching the end of the mountain. -Mr. Liang's current chess game seems to be It's time for a showdown."

Liang Pu's eyebrows trembled slightly: "It turns out that Master Di came to play chess with me today, haha." Di Gongdao: "I took many detours, and finally found Zhu Munu's benefactor. This benefactor is none other than Mr. Liang." Liang Pu smiled and said, "Master Di is guessing. Come and see!" He stood up and pulled a yellow curtain that blocked the shrine behind him. Zhu Munu's naked body was covered in a crystal cabinet.The face has been adjusted, and he is full of affection, staring and smiling. Di Gongda was surprised, he didn't expect Liang Pu to show his cards so thoroughly.Caught off guard, inevitably a little flustered.

"Master Di's chess skills are proficient enough, I don't know how to move next." Liang Pu's words were full of provocation. Di Gong smiled slightly: "Let's introduce the first few steps first. Of course, how to go in the end depends on Mr. Liang's retreat. ——You have devoted all your efforts to Zhumu Nu, and you regard it as your forbidden, you Manser wanted to get involved several times, and you hated it to the bone. At this time, Liu Daoyuan's imperial envoy was inspecting Guangzhou, and your master in the imperial court secretly told you to kill Liu Daoyuan in Guangzhou. After the promise is fulfilled, the empress will be crowned as a knight."

"So you spread rumors about Manser's conspiracy to riot, and at the same time, you drew Liu Daoyuan's connection with the Fans. Finally, you put the crime of killing Liu Daoyuan on Manser's gang, and implied that Liu Daoyuan had something to do with the Fans' riot. You can kill two birds with one stone. .” "You originally wanted to use Zhumu Nuu to lure Liu Daoyuan into the bait, and to ruin his clear voice first. Unexpectedly, Zhumu Nuu and Liu Daoyuan fell in love at first sight, and after two swearings, it was really a vow.——You have to bear it for the time being, as long as his two threads are not broken, Liu Daoyuan Your life is in your hands. Afterwards Zhu Mu Nu killed Liu Daoyuan with poisonous wine, and you finally got your wish. The next step is how to put the crime of killing Liu Daoyuan on Manser and others."

"After my official came to Guangzhou, I first investigated the illegal smuggling of foreign trade in Haikou. You deliberately released information that the foreign people were planning to riot to confuse the public. You ordered the foreign people to kill Mr. Su, and at the same time secretly hired the people on the water to strangle him to death." Fanren murderer, let us fight Manser to the death. Your plan is going well, but unexpectedly, there is a rebel inside." "Who?" Liang Pu was obviously fascinated. "It's your own sister, Lanli—the blind girl who sells crickets. Lanli earns a living alone, which proves that your brother and sister are at odds, but after all, they are brothers and sisters. She is so smart that she has already noticed your dirty thoughts I'm afraid that you will act recklessly, defy the law with your own body, destroy your own future, and break the line of the Liang family. I can't bear it, and I have advised you to give up the evil conspiracy several times."

"That day she inquired that you were going to transport Liu Daoyuan's body to Huata Temple for cremation. She secretly hid the cricket and revealed the truth when talking to one of my relatives. Who knows that you have sent all of this to The minions lurking in Shizifang found out, so they immediately lured her to the mansion for confinement. But she escaped the next day." "It was indeed the clue of the golden bell that led me to Huata Temple, and I found Liu Daoyuan's body by accident. Thanks to the birth of Guanyin Bodhisattva, otherwise it would have been cremated long ago, and the gods and ghosts don't know it. Therefore, there is a saying, "If there is a person, there will be no ghosts." There is a god'. God wants to keep you exposed. Once Manser is arrested, you can coerce him to admit that he threw Liu Daoyuan's body into the sea. When you met me last time, you deliberately led me to believe that the people on the water were closely related to the big cannibal , cleverly hinted to me that Manser might have obtained the secret recipe for mixing the poison.——Liu Daoyuan’s body was exposed, and the symptoms of poisoning were hard to conceal. "My personal follower, Qiao Tai, got married to Zhu Munu again by mistake. You were furious when you heard the news, and you were afraid that Zhu Munu would tell the truth about the poisoned imperial envoy, so you planned to kill me, Qiao Tai, and specially selected your enemy Ni Tianji. His house. —By the way, how did you know that Qiao Tai would visit Ni Tianji for the second time?" Liang Pu smiled: "Qiao Tai's relationship with the surname Ni has never been hidden from my eyes and ears from the very beginning. I have set up a spy on the roof of Ni Mansion, and ordered Manser to watch. Both Manser and Ni Tianji have seduced me Xingzhi Sister, we regard each other as enemies. ——If Qiao Tai is killed in the Ni Mansion, I am afraid that you, Master Di, will not easily let Ni Tianji go." Di Gong said: "Ni Tianji and Xingzhi are innocent, Mr. Liang don't digress." Liang Pu laughed again: "Why do you have to argue with me about this? Go on, time is running out. Where has the chess piece come from?" "The chess piece is finally closed. ——When I put a reward on Liu Daoyuan's dummy head at the gate of the city, Zhumu Nu didn't know what to do, and rashly came to the Yamen to receive the reward. She didn't forget Qiaotai's love, and begged him to sneak back together." Jingshi. However, you went mad and killed Zhu Munu decisively. ——Your heart is finally broken. Once Zhu Munu dies, your chess game has been lost, and there is no one left to live." Liang Pu said coldly: "Of course I lost the game of chess, I am afraid that Master Di will not have a look to live on. You are like a god in prison, smart for a lifetime, and it is a good story in the world. You actually died of chess under this little altar of mine." .--Lanli is now in my mansion, and she failed to kill her twice, so she may be doomed. Once Lanli dies, Manser has fled, and no one in the world may know the truth of this episode." "Master Di is exhausted day by day, and there will be time. I will go down to find Tao Gan later, and report to Dudu Wen. It is said that you, Master Di, have suddenly suffered from a heart disease and cannot be cured. How can Dudu Wen be cured?" Anyone who doesn't believe it? Tao Gan and Qiao Tai can't come up with any suspicious evidence even if they refuse to accept it." "As for Master Di, who has sent troops to surround the house, I can explain to Dudu Wen that you were the one who took shelter from Tejaen in order to prevent the attacks of the Fanren and mobs. No matter how big the incident becomes, you must know that the imperial court Empress Wu came to the throne , I am your successor, and I am Liang Pu as the Minister of Dali Temple. ——Eunuch Wang and Master Faming personally promised me." Di Gongdao: "Mr. Liang is really not afraid of being punished by ghosts." Liang Pu replied with a smile: "Everyone has stepped on the Naihe Bridge, and they still care about me a lot." "What does Mr. Liang mean, I am sure to die today?" "It seems that you have been drinking this tea for a long time. At this moment, you should feel a dull pain in your stomach. It must be very hot." Liang Pu's smile did not fade away. Di Gong said grimly, "You drank all my tea. Your tea is in this bowl for chess pieces." Liang Pu looked down at a brass bowl beside him, and said in shock, "When did Master Di make the tea?" "I'm just giving you back the tea you poured and mine. ——I suspect that this tea is not edible. Mr. Liang just ate it, and it's okay to think about it." Liang Pu felt that he had been fooled, his body became cold and his limbs went numb.Laughing miserably, he staggered a few steps and fell to the ground suddenly.Staring at Zhumu Nu in the crystal cabinet with both eyes, he showed the last trace of a smile.
