"Your Majesty, Mr. Hua is here."

Huizong had just finished eating and was rinsing his mouth. When he heard Hua Ju coming, he handed the mouthwash cup to the chamberlain and said, "Xuan."

The chamberlain led Hua Ju in, and Hua Ju stepped forward and saluted: "See your Majesty."

"no."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Huizong was about to ask Hua Ju what was going on in the palace when he saw a chamberlain come in and said: "Your Majesty, Grand Master Cai, Privy Council Tong, Grand Lieutenant Gao, Grand Master Liang, and the Imperial Censor, the Prime Minister Wang Fu, are outside asking for an audience."

"They are here too, let's announce it," Huizong said.

After a while, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others followed the inner servants and came in from outside. They stood in a row and saluted Huizong: "See your Majesty."

"no."

Huizong glanced at the five of them and asked, "What's wrong with the five ministers' families?"

Cai Jing said: "I know that your Majesty suffered from the cold yesterday, so I came here to visit you. I wonder if your Majesty is feeling better today?"

Huizong smiled and said, "I am much better today. I would like to thank the five ministers for their thoughts."

"Your Majesty is in good health, I can rest assured."

After Cai Jing finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Hua Ju who was standing next to him. He asked with a smile, "Oh, it turns out Master Hua is here too. I'm sorry I didn't see it because I was blind."

Hua Ju said calmly: "It's okay, older people don't have good eyesight, I can understand."

Cai Jing understood that Hua Ju was mocking him, and was very angry. He couldn't show it in front of Huizong, so he pretended not to hear it and asked in a tone of voice, "I wonder what Mr. Hua wants to do when he comes to the palace to see your majesty?"

Hua Ju looked at him playfully and said, "Master, are you asking on behalf of His Majesty, or are you asking yourself?"

Because Cai Jing was the prime minister, he had always asked others how to answer, so he thought that Hua Ju would answer honestly like other officials. Unexpectedly, Hua Ju did not abandon him at all, and directly asked him a question that was difficult to answer.

The problem.

Because if he said he was asking questions on behalf of Huizong, Huizong was sitting in front of him, and he was not asked to ask questions on his behalf. This would be the crime of overstepping his authority and making decisions on his behalf.

If he asked it himself, but since he was entering the palace to see the emperor and it had nothing to do with him, it would be a taboo for him to ask like this.

Cai Jing was very angry that Hua Ju made things difficult for him, but the question was already here, and he had to answer it whether he wanted to or not, otherwise it would be difficult for Huizong to explain.

After all, the old thief has been in the officialdom for decades, and he is very sophisticated on the surface. He pretended to be fine and said: "Master Hua has misunderstood. I have been dealing with government affairs all year round. When I see people, my first words are to ask them if they have anything or if they want to see the emperor."

What's the matter? That's why I asked you unknowingly just now. I hope you won't be offended."

Hua Ju secretly admired this old guy. He was almost seventy years old, but his reaction was still so flexible. No wonder he could survive in the courtroom at night for so many years. It seemed that he had something special about him.

Hua Ju smiled and said, "It seems that I have misunderstood the grand master. Don't be surprised."

"There, there." The old thief faked a smile and said nothing.

When Huizong saw that Cai Jing and the others had nothing to do, he immediately asked Hua Ju, "Hua Qing, what's the matter with you coming to the palace so early to see me?"

Hua Ju bowed slightly and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, I have found out who is the mastermind behind the plot to murder me."

"What, you've already found out?"

The incident only happened yesterday, and the mastermind behind it was found out just one day later. Huizong was shocked by Hua Ju's efficient investigation speed.

"Who is the mastermind behind this?" Huizong asked.

Hua Ju said: "Li Bangyan!"

"What, it's him!"

Huizong was shocked, because Li Bangyan always looked like a scholar in front of him. Although he occasionally had a wild attitude, he could not believe that he would commit such a shocking crime.

Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others were also secretly shocked, because they all knew that Li Bangyan was responsible for the assassination of Hua Ju. They originally thought that no one would know about this matter as long as they didn't tell it. Unexpectedly, Hua Ju

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Zeki found it out so quickly.

Huizong frowned and asked: "Although Li Bangyan is a bit narrow-minded, he is still measured in his actions. He should not do such a thing. Hua Qing, are you making a mistake?"

Hua Ju knew that he would not believe it easily, so he sighed in his heart and thought: "Fortunately, I have prepared everything in advance, otherwise it would be really difficult to move Li Bangyan."

"Your Majesty, he is absolutely not mistaken. If your Majesty does not believe it, please order Li Bangyan to enter the palace, and I will confront him face to face." Hua Ju said.

Huizong immediately said to Wu Chenghai: "Xuan Li Bangyan enters the palace."

"yes."

Wu Chenghai immediately sent Jia Xing, a young chamberlain around Huizong, to announce Li Bangyan's entry into the palace.

"Hua Qing, you are so sure that it is Li Bangyan. Do you have some evidence in your hand?" Huizong asked.

Hua Ju said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I do have some evidence."

"What evidence?"

Hua Ju looked at Cai Jing and the others and said: "Your Majesty, the evidence in my hands is very important. In order to prevent anyone from leaking it to Li Bangyan in advance, I want to wait until Li Bangyan comes before taking it out. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."

Huizong also looked at Cai Jing and the others, knowing that Hua Ju didn't trust them, so he didn't force him to tell them. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's wait until Li Bangyan comes before taking it out."

Cai Jing turned his head to look at Hua Ju with a gloomy old face, wishing he could get rid of him immediately.

"Huangkou kid, don't be too proud. Sooner or later, I will kick you out of the court." Cai Jing thought.

Jia Bing took a carriage to the outside of Li Bangyan's house, got off the carriage, and said to the gatekeeper: "Is Mr. Li at home?"

Because Jia Ping often came to the Li Mansion, the gatekeepers of the Li Mansion knew him and said, "He is here."

"Take me to him quickly."

The gatekeeper took Jia Bing into the mansion and asked another person to take him to see Li Bangyan, because the gatekeeper was not qualified to lead people into the middle courtyard.

The other person led Jia Bing to the back hall, and then went to inform Li Bangyan. Less than five minutes later, Li Bangyan came in, cupped his hands and said, "My father-in-law has arrived. I am not far away to greet you, but I still hope to see Haihan."

Jia Bing said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite. We are here to announce your Majesty's entry into the palace in accordance with His Majesty's decree."

Li Bangyan waved his hand to ask his entourage to step back, then took a piece of silver and stuffed it into Jia Bing's hand, and asked in a low voice: "Eunuch, your Majesty asked me to come to the palace so early. What's the matter?"

Jia Bin looked at the silver in his hand, put it into his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "It was Mr. Hua who joined you in front of His Majesty, saying that you were the murderer who sent people to murder him. Your Majesty then announced that you should go to the palace to confront him."

.”

Li Bangyan was shocked when he heard this and thought to himself: "I did this in such a secretive way, how did he know about it? Could it be that someone under my command leaked the news?"

"Does your Majesty believe what he said?" Li Bangyan asked hurriedly, because Huizong's attitude directly determined his fate.

Jia Bing said: "Your Majesty just didn't believe it, so he sent you to the palace to confront Mr. Hua."

"Who else is present besides Hua Ju?" Li Bangyan asked again.

"Taishi Cai, Privy Council Tong, Taiwei Gao, Taifu Liang, and Lord Wang are all here."

Li Bangyan was relieved to hear that Cai Jing and others were also waiting for him, because as long as they were there, they could help him speak for anything.

"Father-in-law, please wait a moment. I will let you enter the palace after I go to change my clothes."

"My lord please."

Li Bangyan came out of the back hall, immediately called Bai Kuan, and said: "Huazhe comes to your majesty to join me in plotting to kill him. I have to go to the palace immediately. Now hurry up and deal with Qi San and those people in person. As long as

If they die, you don't have to worry anymore."

Bai Kuan said: "Okay, little one, let's go right away."

"Go through the back door and don't let anyone see you." Li Bangyan explained.

"yes."

Li Bangyan went back to his room, changed into his official uniform, and went out

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Come and follow Jia and drive away.

Bai Kuan returned to his room, took out a small wooden box from under the box, took out a small red porcelain bottle and put it into his sleeve, then put the wooden box back, locked the door, and went out from the back door with two confidants.

Mansion.

There was a long alley outside the back door of Li Bangyan's house. As soon as Bai Kuan came out of the alley with his two servants, he was immediately pushed to the wall and held down. Before they could scream out, something was gagged in his mouth, and he followed

Was stuffed into the carriage.

After leaving Li's Mansion two streets away, the carriage stopped at a place. Four soldiers got off the carriage and stood guard around the carriage to prevent anyone from approaching.

In the carriage, his pocket was opened, and Bai Kuan saw a strange man in front of him, "Uh huh" and wanted to speak.

This strange man was Wang Kui. He had been guarding Li Mansion with his men under the orders of Hua Ju. Because Hua Ju had specifically told him to pay attention to the back door, he had been guarding the back door himself. Unexpectedly, Bai Kuan actually entered the back door through the back door.

He came out and was caught by him.

Wang Kui took out the thing from Bai Kuan's mouth, and Bai Kuan asked angrily: "You are so brave, you dare to kidnap me, do you know who I am?"

"What are you shouting about?"

Wang Kui said: "Aren't you Bai Kuan, the manager of Li Bangyan's house? What's so great about it? I'm not afraid of you."

When Bai Kuan saw that the other party knew his identity, he knew that the person coming was evil and asked, "Who are you?"
