There's nothing wrong with it

Chapter 135 The truth of Qin Shuang's past comes to light
He rushed to the palace, "I see the king. I don't know if the king called the minister into the palace late at night. Is there something important?"

"I can't come to you if I don't have important matters. Is that what you mean?" Gui Wang's tone added a lot of dissatisfaction.

"Of course not." He explained, "Your Majesty is working hard on state affairs, and tomorrow he will go to court early. He should have had an early rest, but instead he summoned his servants to the palace. The servants secretly thought that there was something very important, so that the Majesty sacrificed his rest." when."

King Gui didn't seem to be really angry, and said, "Get up, come here and sit down. I miss those days when I was a child and talked with Zining Bingzhu at night, that's why I asked the general to enter the palace. But—" The conversation changed, and Gui Wang walked up to him, pulled out a knowing smile, and said, "However, it seems that Zining has been given a good chance, right?"

"My subordinates don't quite understand what your majesty means." Could it be that your majesty has already noticed about Qin Shuang?

"I don't understand?" King Gui laughed as if he had heard some joke, and said, "Zining, it's not good to play dumb in front of the widow. Didn't you discover the spies while secretly investigating Wang Jijun? The escaped spy Qin Shuang's younger brother Qin Yun is now living in your general's residence."

He didn't deny it. "Your Majesty is wise, Qin Zuchang's younger brother did indeed come to find his subordinates, claiming that his brother was framed by others. Because this is a matter in General Wang Ji's army, I don't want to intervene rashly, and besides - the matter did not alarm the king. , I don’t know what General Wang’s plan is. I wanted to get more reliable evidence and report it to the king. Since the king has known it, I will definitely tell the whole story and report the truth.”

King Gui ordered someone to bring hot tea and refreshments, and said, "Speak, my widow is listening."

"Yes." He didn't dare to hide anything, and told Gui Wang exactly what Qin Yun and Qin Shuang had said. "There is no Mr. Wuquan in Chu State. If you rely on the words of the Qin Shuang brothers alone, Qin Shuang was indeed framed by others—but the key evidence is that the forged secret letter of communication with the enemy has not been obtained. I am not sure whether they are lying. "Speaking of which, where would that evidence be?
"Why do you want to meddle in this matter?" Gui Wang raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Although it's not something I should intervene in, if Qin Shuang was framed by General Wang and Chen Fa, it would be related to me-the minister met a soldier named Chen Da under General Wang on the street a few days ago to bully the people. She taught him a lesson with Qin Shuang who happened to pass by. That Chen Da claimed that he would not let it go, and he is Chen Fa's younger brother and General Wang's distant nephew."

"You mean they colluded with each other to take revenge on Qin Shuang—and even gave you some warnings?" Gui Wang asked.

"I think so," he replied.

Gui Wang sneered, and said, "There is some truth to what you said. You want to know the whereabouts of that secret letter?"

"Yes." Looking at the king's appearance, it seems that he not only knows what happened, but also knows where the important evidence is.

"Zining, play a game of chess with me. If you win, I will tell you where the secret letter is." King Gui got up and said.

"I obey." He was a little puzzled, but he still obeyed the order.

The two colors of black and white gradually occupy the field of the checkerboard.He made the move without saying a word, and Gui Wang suddenly said: "Zi Ning, I remember you told me when I was young, no one is more important in this world of black and white, every piece plays a role, that's why playing chess is so profound. "

The king did not call himself "widow", but called himself "I", which surprised him. He raised his head and said, "Yes. At that time, the king had not been appointed as the prince. I didn't expect the king to still remember it now."

Gui Wang didn't say anything, just continued to place pieces on the chessboard.About half an hour later, King Gui stopped and said, "Why did you deliberately lose to the widow? Don't you want to know where the secret letter is?"

"Your Majesty's chess skills are better than before. I am not your opponent. I didn't lose to Your Majesty on purpose." He smiled slightly.

"Hmph." King Gui threw the black chess pieces back into the chess box and said, "I'm not happy at all."

"But the minister is very happy." He looked up at King Gui, "The first person to teach the king how to play chess is the minister. Now that the king's chess skills are outstanding, how can the minister be unhappy?"

King Gui pursed his lips, and after a while, he said indifferently: "The secret letter is now hidden in the tent of the brigade commander named Chen Fa."

"Your Majesty?" He was a little confused, didn't he tell him the whereabouts of the secret letter only after he won?
"I don't like you to spend your thoughts on others, but I don't want anyone to think about you." King Gui said with his hands behind his back, "I know that there are indeed people in the court who are dissatisfied with you because of my trust in you." , you want to solve this matter by yourself, and you don’t want to invite others to talk about it, right? If that’s the case, I will help you.”

"Thank you king!"

If he went to steal the secret letter, it would not prove Qin Shuang's innocence.Zining couldn't help thinking about how to properly handle this matter. "Rou Niang." He called his wife.

"What's the matter?" Rou Niang gently put on a coat for him, and sat down beside him.

"I want to ask you to do me a favor." He held Rou Niang's hand and said seriously.

Rou Niang was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said: "Is there anything between you and me to ask for peace and help, your business is my business, just say it."

He smiled gratefully and said, "Go secretly to that Chen Fa's brigade commander's tent tonight, and replace the secret letter Qin Yun mentioned about collaborating with the enemy with something else, but you have to use tricks to make the secret letter appear untouched." .”

Rou Niang smiled and said, "Well, I see."

"I'm sorry, I asked you to do such a thing." He stretched out his hand apologetically, and gently stroked Rou Niang's hair.

Rou Niang shook her head and said, "Didn't I tell you not to say such things?"

"Be careful." He warned worriedly.

"Don't worry, I will bring back the secret letter." Rou Niang said.

He sighed softly and said, "I'm worried about your safety. If there is danger, don't force it, you know?"

"Yeah." Rou Niang snuggled into his arms and said, "But I'm so happy, this is the first time you've asked me to do something, Zi Ning."

"Of course." He laughed, "I hope you live a good life in peace, but I don't want you to take risks."

"I know. But, I like to share your worries." Rou Niang smiled.

The next day, he came to Wang Ji's barracks with the king's order and his own soldiers.

"General Zining?" Wang Jipi said with a half-smile, "I don't know that Your Excellency is here, so why do you want to do it?"

"Don't dare." He said, "Because I heard that there were spies from Chu State in General Wang's army, but General Wang did not report to the court. The King was worried that there was fraud and said he would try the case himself, so he ordered me to Come and invite General Wang into the palace, and of course that spy." As he spoke, he sneered in his heart and admired Wang Ji's changing face like a revolving lantern.

"How did Your Majesty know about this?" Wang Ji asked gruffly.

"This is not something that I as a subject can know." He shook his head and said, indeed, he was also curious about where the king heard about this matter, but since the king clearly knows where the secret letter is Look, I am afraid that the king has sent spies to keep a close eye on every move of the court officials-he should be no exception. "General Wang, please bring that spy with you, and follow me into the palace to meet the king."

"Immediately?" Wang Ji was calm on the surface, but his panic was revealed in his eyes.

"Is there any inconvenience?" he asked back.

"No, no, I'll go right away." Wang Ji gritted his teeth, "Come here, ask Chen Fa to bring the spy over immediately, and the criminal evidence I entrusted to him for safekeeping."

The Qin Shuang who was escorted out by the soldiers was similar to what he saw last night. It seems that during this period of time, because they hadn't found out that Qin Yun had come to look for him, they hadn't done anything to Qin Shuang yet.If it was later, they would have discovered Qin Yun's whereabouts, and they might have killed Qin Shuang immediately.He glanced at Wang Ji and Chen Fa, and said, "Please." He waved his hand, and said to the soldiers brought behind him, "You are responsible for escorting the suspects."

"Yes!"

A group of them entered the palace to meet King Gui. "Wang Ji, you are so courageous!" Gui Wang scolded them loudly when he saw them.

Wang Ji fell to his knees with a "plop", "Don't be angry, my lord! I don't know what crime I will commit in the end?"

"I don't know what crime you committed?" Gui Wang said coldly, "How dare you hide foreign spies, don't you have the guts of a bear?"

"The last general made a mistake!" Wang Ji kowtowed to the king, and said in fear, "The last general wanted to obtain more definite evidence before reporting it, and never wanted to alarm the king!" Wang Ji gave him a hard look glance.

He looked away and looked at King Gui.He knew that Wang Ji had concluded that he was the one who told the king about this matter.Although he originally intended to do so, the king seemed to know the ins and outs of this matter earlier than him, and he hadn't had time to report it yet.

"Really?" Gui Wang snorted and said, "That's good, now you present the evidence of the crime to the widow!"

The wooden box containing the secret letter was presented to King Gui by the officials at the side. King Gui opened the wooden box, took out a piece of white silk cloth from inside, unfolded it, and said with a mocking smile, "You think this is evidence of a crime?"

Wang Ji looked at the white silk cloth in Wang Gui's hand and said, "Yes!"

""yes'? Gui Wang sneered, and threw the piece of silk cloth on Wang Ji's face, "See for yourself!" "

"What, what?" Wang Ji hurriedly picked up the white silk that had fallen on the ground, and was shocked when he saw the content on it, "This, this is not the secret letter... Your Majesty, please listen to the explanation at the end!"

"I didn't ask you to explain, I'm just listening." Wang Gui clasped his fingers on the table and said.

"The secret letter found at the end of the day is a letter written by Mr. Wuquan of Chu State. It says, "Be sure to find the defense map of the return border, and you will be rewarded if you find it!" Ah! "Wang Ji said anxiously, "And there are other reward promises..."

He was wondering what Rou Niang had changed into the letter, and looked sideways at what Wang Ji was holding, and almost laughed out loud, but Rou Niang actually replaced the secret letter with a erotic picture!Rou Niang, as a daughter, actually drew this kind of picture, so I have to talk about her when I get home. "Your Majesty, I would like to ask Rong Chen to say something." He stepped forward and said.

"What?" Gui Wang glanced at him.

"I believe that there are indeed spies hiding somewhere in the return country. Perhaps it was General Wang who noticed his whereabouts, so he put the secret letter in the room of General Wang's subordinates, intending to blame others and divert General Wang's attention." He said. Say.

"Really?" Gui Wang's tone revealed disbelief, "Then how do you explain this picture?"

He replied: "Because we didn't catch the real spy, that spy sneaked into General Wang's barracks, used this picture to switch packets, stole the secret letter, and mocked our country."
