Chapter 53 Section VIII

Time: Xu time, two quarters (according to today's time, it should be eight thirty in the evening). Location: Zichen Hall. Yuan Xiyou laughed and said, "It's not that easy to kill me." Mr. Jin said: "Impossible, I killed you twice that day, there is no way you are still alive." Yuan Xiyou said: "I can die and come back to life once, why can't I die and come back to life again?" The third son said: "President Yuan, please tell everyone, who is the person who entrusted the escort? Where is the escort sent?" Yuan Xiyou pointed at Mr. Jin, and said: "He is the one who entrusted the bodyguard! It was his idea to swallow Ye Mingzhu into his stomach and escort him. The bodyguard was sent to Ma Kai, the owner of a brothel in Hangzhou. The old man is in the bodyguard business. For decades, I haven't seen a treasure as precious as the Donghai Yemingzhu, so I think that the owner of a brothel should not have such ability and status, and is not worthy of this unworldly thing. The old man suspects that behind him, there must be There is a real master hidden."

The third son said: "Ma Kai was originally a small ruffian on the streets of Hangzhou, but his elder sister married a good husband. His brother-in-law paid for him to open this brothel. And his brother-in-law is the one I mentioned earlier. Rao Youde, the head of the prime minister's mansion who has been there, is the one who swept away all the arsenic in Hangzhou in just two days. I suspect that the East China Sea Night Pearl was probably delivered to Ma Kai first, and then he handed it over to Rao Youde. " Tang Si retreated and patted the table, and said angrily: "Well, he is very virtuous, he has done so many things secretly, and has kept the old man in the dark. After the old man goes back, he must not be spared lightly."

The third son said: "Prime Minister Tang, please don't get excited. You are quite old, not younger than a young man. Getting excited is not good for your health. I haven't finished my words yet. You should sit down and listen slowly. In fact, Rao Youde is not the rightful master." Tang Situi asked innocently: "Then, who is the real master?" The third son also replied innocently: "The rightful master is you, the prime minister Tang Situi who lives in the first rank." Although the third son persuaded Tang Situ not to get excited, but after hearing what the third son said, Tang Situ became even more excited, his gray goatee trembled like a pile of withered grass swept by a strong wind.Tang Situi said: "The boy is extremely rude! The old man has been patient with you for the sake of the Holy Majesty, but I didn't expect you to push forward and push you again and again, and now you dare to wrong the old man. I would like to ask Let me ask you, where did you get such courage?"

Xiaozong replied dreamily on the distant dragon chair: "It is I who gave him such courage. Is Prime Minister Tang dissatisfied?" Tang Situi was at a loss for words for a while, so he had to remain silent.The emperor's golden mouth made him dare not refute. The third young master said: "Tang Situi, I told you not to get excited, but you are disobedient, and you still can't help but get angry. With your power and status today, what's so rare about buying a Donghai Night Pearl? Buying Song Jiangshan, I'm afraid it won't be too difficult!" Tang Situi's face changed suddenly, and he said, "What did you say? How dare you slander the old man for treason?" Then he said to Xiaozong: "Your Majesty, the old minister has served the country for more than fifty years. He is loyal and can be learned from the sun. An unknown junior dares to keep making insinuations at the old minister in the Zichen Palace, begging His Majesty to see clearly and give the old minister justice."

Xiaozong said: "Third son, Tang Cheng has always been utterly loyal to this court and to me. This is well known in the whole world. When I lived in the East Palace, I also inherited the earnest teachings of Tang Chengxiang. You can't believe it. You are wronged. An important minister of the court." Seeing that Xiaozong's position had loosened slightly, Tang Situ was overjoyed.What a shrewd person he is, he immediately climbed up and said: "Your Majesty, the unknown junior has been aggressive, trying to slander the old minister as a traitor against the country, and put the old minister in a place of injustice. Fortunately, His Majesty has clearly observed, so he did not let him go. His treacherous plan succeeded. According to the law of this dynasty, falsely accusing an official of the court is a death penalty of beheading. I hope that His Majesty will make the decision for the veteran, and immediately push him out and behead him to demonstrate the authority of the law and return the veteran to his innocence."

Xiaozong laughed and said: "Prime Minister Tang is serious. From my point of view, the third son is really just joking and has no intention of false accusation." Seeing that Xiaozong was protecting the third son so much, Tang Situ had no choice but to be unhappy. The third son said: "Your Majesty's words are big mistakes, I'm not joking. If I can find the East China Sea Ye Mingzhu and understand the mystery inside, then I will have the answer, whether I am talking nonsense." Tang Situi said: "The old man also wants to see the East China Sea Night Pearl, to see if there is a real mystery, or you are playing tricks."

The third son frightened him and said, "Do you really want to see it? I can show it to you right now." Tang Situ's heart sank, and he forced a smile and said, "The third son must be joking. Donghai Yemingzhu is clearly in Sikong Kongkong's hands. Even you have said that if you want to get back a stolen thing from Sikong Kongkong's hands, you must A thing harder than ascending to the sky." The third son said: "You can only blame you for being ignorant. The world has always thought that there is only one Donghai Yeming Pearl. However, there are not only one Donghai Yeming Pearl in the world, but two, one female and one male. The world only knows the female, but not the other." The one that was swallowed by Tao Tie was a female bead, but the one that was stolen by Sikong Kongkong was a male bead." Everyone was puzzled.

The third son continued: "There are no more than three people who know that Xiongzhu exists, and I happen to be one of these three people. It doesn't matter if I tell you the truth, I am the owner of Xiongzhu. I went to Su Causeway that day. When I captured Taotie, I had carefully wrapped the male bead in cloth and hid it in my bosom. When I got the female bead from Taotie's belly, I also wrapped it carefully with the same piece of cloth I prepared earlier and hid it in the same place. In my arms, and placed under the male bead, I have long suspected that the dog thief Sikong Kongkong was there (Speaking of which, the third son suddenly laughed inexplicably), this dog thief (laughs again, like a dog thief) in such a lively occasion These two words bring him great joy) but he never misses it. Sure enough, this guy was there. When I took out Donghai Yemingzhu and handed it to you, in fact what I took out was Xiongzhu. In front of the famous Mr. Cao San, Sikong Kongkong was able to calmly snatch the pearl away without any injuries. If I steal it, I will lose my wife and lose my army, and I will suffer a lot."

Xiaozong asked excitedly: "The female bead is on your body now? Why don't you take it out and let me watch it?" The third son said: "Don't dare to obey orders. But before I take out this night pearl, please order the emperor to turn off all the lights in this Zichen hall." Xiaozong looked distressed, and said: "Once all the lights are extinguished, wouldn't it mean that you can't see your fingers or see anything?" The third son smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that Prime Minister Tang, Mr. Jin, and Mr. Bao Wenbao have all seen the Pearl of the East China Sea. They can testify that a small pearl is like a small pearl." The sun can illuminate the Zichen Palace as bright as day."

Xiaozong rejoiced and said: "Is it really so magical? If so, come here and turn off the lights." Immediately, the Zichen Palace sank into a deep darkness, and only the sound of rough or light breathing could be heard.In the silence and darkness, time passed extremely slowly. Slowly, a pool of light ignited, dispelling and devouring the darkness gradually, and the entire Zichen Palace was bathed in milky white light, and this light came from a fist-sized luminous pearl placed on the table in front of the third son. The emperor, King Qing, and King Gong who had seen Ye Mingzhu unconsciously gave out admiration.

Xiaozong asked: "Sir, this treasure is indeed something I have never seen before, but where is the mystery you mentioned earlier?" The third son said: "Please reward the two rolls of rice paper on the dragon case." Xiaozong said: " Well, I'd like to see what trick you're up to." Eunuch Gao held two rolls of rice paper and reluctantly sent them to the third son's desk.The third young master didn't even look at him, grabbed two rolls of rice paper and threw them into the air, the scrolls were nailed to the beam of the house, and the rice paper was unrolled in the air, hanging down to the ground, forming a white paper wall. The third son turned the Ye Mingzhu carefully and slowly. When it reached a certain angle, black lines appeared between the light falling on the paper wall. The third son moved the Ye Mingzhu back slightly, and the black lines became clear immediately.If you look closely, you can tell that it is a map with text. The third son said: "Everyone, this is the mystery hidden in the East China Sea Night Pearl. Someone used extremely delicate micro-carving techniques to carve a map on the surface of the East China Sea Night Pearl. Those lines are hundreds of times thinner than a hair." , there is no difference at all during the day. Even at night, when the luminous pearl begins to shine brightly, the lines on the surface are still indistinct. Even if someone notices it, they will think it is just a natural flaw of the luminous pearl. Only Cast the light of the luminous pearl on a white wall in the distance, and enlarge the micro-carved lines on the surface of the luminous pearl to see the real secret hidden on the luminous pearl, a carefully drawn map of the Song Dynasty. On this map, The deployment of troops on the anti-golden front line of the dynasty is marked in detail. This arrow points directly at the capital city of Hangzhou, which means the marching route of the Jin dynasty's upcoming surprise attack. There are also arrows next to the four major corps of the dynasty stationed along the way, indicating that Then they will be transferred to other places. If it is really as shown by the arrow, the four major corps are quietly transferred, which will just allow the Jin Dynasty to take advantage of the gap and go straight to Hangzhou without hindrance." Looking at the map, Xiaozong broke into a cold sweat and said: "If the army transfer on this map is successfully implemented, I am afraid that within three days, the Jin soldiers will come to the city of Hangzhou. At that time, if they are caught off guard, they may be killed. The tragedy of the Huiqin emperors will repeat itself again. (The two emperors of the Song Dynasty were captured and taken captive by the people of Jin. I am afraid of the psychological shadow of Jingsheng.) It is a blessing to the heavens, thanks to the third son who intercepted this night pearl in time, which may bring disaster to the Song Dynasty." The third son said: "Actually, the emperor should not be thanking me, but the gluttonous one who disturbed the capital and took several lives. This is the step towards turning this traitorous conspiracy into reality." The third son said again: "Prime Minister Tang, what do you have to say now? Only you have the right to mobilize the four major corps stationed along the line. The people of the country will not take him seriously at all, this luminous pearl was given to you by the people of the country of Jin." Tang Situi said: "You are spitting blood. From my point of view, these maps were clearly engraved by you privately to frame the old man." The third young master said: "You are flattering me too much, to carve such a detailed and lifelike map on this small night pearl, the sculptor's miniature carving skills have reached the peak, this kind of trivial skill, although my martial arts are high, but I don't know it. " "The third son is too modest. I have heard for a long time that the third son is knowledgeable and talented, and his mere miniature carving skills, how can it be difficult for you?" "If I carved it myself, then the notch on the bead should still be very fresh, but if you take a closer look, it is not difficult to find that the notch on the bead should be at least a month ago." Tang Si retreated: "If the old man doesn't believe it, what will happen to you?" "If you don't believe me, you can take the beads and have a good look at them yourself." Xiaozong stopped and said: "No, there is no reason to hand over the evidence of the crime to the criminal." The third son said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, can Tang Situi still swallow the Ye Mingzhu? And I bet, his throat must not be that thick. Even if he does swallow the Ye Mingzhu, as long as he finds a handful A blunt knife, the blunter the better, just cut his stomach open." The third son looked at Tang Situi, like a cat looking at a mouse with no way out, and smiled happily. The third young master patted the table with his palm, and Ye Mingzhu bounced off the table, and slowly flew back towards Tang Si.When Ye Mingzhu flew to Tang Situi's side, Tang Situi was about to reach out to catch it, when suddenly Mr. Jin who was behind Tang Situi stepped out and stood in front of Tang Situi. The coming of the night pearl.He had experienced the martial arts of the third son last time, and he still has lingering fears.He knew that this slow-flying Ye Mingzhu already contained strong true strength.He didn't dare to take it head-on, following the Ye Mingzhu's direction, he spun around a few times on the spot, gradually dissolving the true power on the Ye Mingzhu into nothing.However, after turning around, he realized that the true power concentrated on the Ye Mingzhu disappeared the moment the Ye Mingzhu entered his palm.The three young masters are still able to draw and release their true strength freely even though they are separated by such a long distance, which is even more frightening to him.Mr. Jin stood awkwardly holding the Donghai Night Pearl in his hand. The third son said: "Mr. Jin is not a beauty, why does he want to dance like a beauty?" Mr. Jin didn't answer, he stared at Ye Mingzhu for a while, thoughtfully, and then handed Ye Mingzhu into Tang Situi's hands. The third son said: "Tang Situi, I have always wanted to ask, who is this Mr. Jin standing behind you?" Tang Situi said: "The old man saw him performing on the street a month ago, his martial arts are very strong, so he loves his talents and keeps him by his side." The third son said: "Street performer, do you have a name?" Jin Laosheng said: "I haven't asked about world affairs for a long time, my name is just a mark of the past, I have long forgotten it." The third young master said: "Did you really forget it, or did you dare not mention it?" Mr. Jin stared at the third young master with stern eyes, but quickly withdrew his gaze, looked up proudly, and stopped talking.
