Chapter 837 Hate is reliable

From the day he returned to Chu, Xue Chi had his own ambitions.

On the surface, he was hidden, but he did a lot of things secretly, so that he laid a very solid foundation over the years.

When he learned the prince's secret, he did not make any statement, but secretly planned the matter with Xue Mei and asked the fifth prince to come forward.

Around the fifth prince, there is an aide who is highly valued by him.

These aides didn't talk much, but every time the fifth prince had any problems, he could come up with a trick. After a few times, he had a lot of weight in the hearts of other aides and the fifth prince.

This aide has a surname Zhou, an ordinary surname, an ordinary appearance, and a medium-sized person. No matter how you look at it, they are all very inconspicuous.

It's such a character, now he can speak in the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

This time, he told the fifth prince: "The prince has a workshop in the city, which contains a lot of gunpowder. It is the gunpowder of the kind that the witch used when rebelling."

Everyone in the Fifth Prince's Mansion was shocked, including the Fifth Prince.

The fifth prince still remembers the prince's cowardly appearance, crying and even incontinence, and it turns out that it is all disguise.

"He actually has gunpowder? He knew about this in advance. If he told his father, the emperor would have to peel off his skin." said the fifth prince.

The staff asked Mr. Zhou if the news was reliable.

Mr. Zhou said that someone sold this to him: "He was guarding the workshop for the prince. The prince didn't allow them to see what was inside, but he was bold and secretly took a look when he was watching at night. Now that the prince is under house arrest, he wants to exchange for some money to return to his hometown.

I often go to the restaurant where I drink. The chef and he are from his hometown. The chef knew that I was from King Ji's mansion. He asked me if I would pay for some money. After buying the news, I agreed.

I went to see it. Although I just took a look outside the window, it was indeed gunpowder, and there was a room full of. The prince would rather blow up that place than be discovered by the court."

The people around the fifth prince were boiling.

This is good news.

The prince is seeking death. He even left a living room for such a secret matter.

Yes, he was under house arrest at that time, and the incident happened suddenly, and no one was in charge of these matters for him.

The aides of the Fifth Prince's Mansion suggested that the Fifth Prince quickly tell the emperor about the matter and drag the prince into the water.

Mr. Zhou was silent.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the fifth prince asked again: "What's wrong with him? Is there anything wrong with this matter?"

Mr. Zhou: "The crown prince is the crown prince, and you are a minister. I am afraid that Your Majesty and those noble people will complain to you in your heart."

Another aide immediately called out: "The prince is unfaithful to the country. Your Highness exposes him, so he is loyal to the country. Besides, Your Majesty is the king, what is the prince?"

Some of the staff members think that the fifth prince should maintain his image of gentleness, respect, frugality and politeness; other staff members think that once this opportunity is missed, they will lose a good opportunity to make contributions.

The two fights started, and no one could convince anyone.

The fifth prince hesitated again and again.

If it were half a year ago, he would never have made such a big shot. But recently, people around him have failed repeatedly in their work, and he himself was in a difficult position. The emperor criticized him several times.

If there is no decent contribution that the emperor and court officials look at him with admiration, it will be difficult for him to turn over.

So, he needs to seize this opportunity.

"I want to go into the palace." The fifth prince stood up immediately, "It's not too late for this matter. The father should hurry up and destroy that workshop."

After nightfall, Xue Mei had dinner, washed clothes, and was about to go to bed, but suddenly someone came to knock on the door.

Xue Mei thought it was the unreliable product of the little prince, but it turned out to be the eldest brother.

The eldest brother told Xue Mei: "It's successful. Lao Wu has entered the palace. He wants to receive this reward."

"So fast?" Xue Mei was also a little surprised, "How did you know? What the people in the palace told you?"

"No." Xue Chi said, "It was the news sent back by Daniu."

"Big bull?"

"Da Niu is a country man and his family is quite poor. His wife was only one month old after giving birth to a child, so she wanted to supplement her family's income and went to the city to be a wet nurse.

Later, I heard that I was elected to the royal palace, and the Daniu family was very happy.

His wife is an honest man, dull and polite, and has a good manner. Once she came back and said that she saw the prince and the princess who had already married her sister. The uncle was strong and unforgivable, and the prince also knew about this, and she was very scared."

Xue Mei: "..."

"Da Niu told his wife not to do it anymore. After all, she has been a wet nurse for two years, and the eldest lady in the royal family no longer needs to eat milk anymore.

His wife agreed and would tell the princess that she didn't expect that the royal family would carry his wife's body back next month.

He said that his wife had a drink and gambling with the mothers at night, and fell into the well and died when she got drunk. The body was given to their house. The manager of the royal family also said that if the big bull was not convinced, he could find a coroner for an autopsy.

Xue Mei: "Is this a murder to silence?"

"That's what Daniu said," said Xue Chi. "When I found him, I asked him if he would like to take revenge. He said he would. He was a man who couldn't read a lot of words, but he was stubborn. I asked him to teach him to recognize words within a year."

He worked as an aide to Lao Wu. Every time he had something, he would discuss it with me. I would teach him how to deal with it. Gradually, Lao Wu regarded him as a character.

Xue Mei: "..."

The so-called "Mr. Zhou" is actually Xue Chi.

She looked at Xue Chi regularly: "Brother, is this one of your ideas? Collect the enemies of those competitors and use them?"

"Yes!" Xue Chi said, "I had no way back then, so I could only use this stupid method to do it step by step. I don't really believe in human nature, but I believe in hatred."

Xue Mei couldn't help but smile.

That night, neither Xue Mei nor Xue Chi slept. Shi Yong often went in and out and told them what was going on outside.

Cheng Lanqing's rebellion had just ended, and the disaster relief of Xiangcheng generation had just been released. Now is the time when the court and the emperor are most sensitive to muskets.

Muskets are not scary, they are scary only if they are ignited with gunpowder.

So gunpowder is a more terrifying existence than a musket.

When the emperor heard that the prince had a lot of gunpowder, he remembered the prince's timidity and said that he had no idea about anything, the emperor was furious and immediately sent someone to investigate him.

"The guards have surrounded the workshop. Someone has gone in, and they have taken some things out and returned to the palace. It should be true." Shi Yong said to Xue Chi and Xue Mei.

Xue Chi nodded: "Don't go to the workshop now. Go to Dali Temple. Once you have any news, come back and tell me."

Shi Yongdao is.

Xue Mei and Xue Chi didn't sleep all night.

In the second half of the night, Dali Temple was brightly lit, and the emperor actually visited the court of Dali Temple and focused on the trial of the prince.

I heard that all torture instruments were put on later, and this was to treat the prince as a serious criminal.

After the interrogation all night, the emperor went straight to court.

Xue Chi said to Xue Mei: "I'm going to court too, there will be big news today."

He wants to hear the good news with his own ears.
