Chapter 382
"For Deputy Prime Minister Bai's great cause, I even went to the Ministry of Justice and sold my face to get some money. As Mr. Bai saw, the files back then were handled cleanly, even the testimony part was scratched.
If you remove the tail, you won’t get the point.”
Zuo Pingdao snorted, "How powerful was the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty back then? The Chen family was at its peak. At that time, His Majesty had not yet ascended the throne. He only entered the East Palace and married the legitimate daughter of the Chen family for his great cause. The Tang and Chen families were in power.
This case ended with only one person dead.
It was handled so cleanly back then, and it is really a fool's errand to find evidence against Tang Xiang after so many years!
Zuo Pingdao looked at Bai Lianzhou's pale face and sneered in his heart. He held the tea lid in one hand and gently flipped the tea leaves in the cup, and said nonchalantly: "Actually, why is there such a need? It is just for the Bai family's benefit at the moment."
"Why do you say that?" Bai Lianzhou rubbed his eyebrows, feeling depressed when he thought about what his father was going to hit him with.
Zuo Pingdao sneered and said: "Grandmaster Bai is really confused. None of the civil and military officials today can see that the one your Majesty really wants to promote is Deputy Prime Minister Bai. The post of Deputy Prime Minister was established from the beginning, isn't it just for the sake of successors to the post of Left Prime Minister?
?”
"Master Zuo, what you said is wrong!" Bai Lianzhou was not stupid enough and said: "Tang Xiang has been deeply involved in the court for so many years. How can we, the Bai family, easily shake him? Otherwise, we would not think of finding another way. It's a pity, it's a pity."
Seeing that his face drooped, Zuo Pingdao sneered and said, "I would like to show the Bai family a way, but this way will definitely hurt both sides. It's hard to say whether they can survive and prosper."
Bai Lianzhou perked up: "What do you mean, Mr. Zuo?"
"Vice Prime Minister Bai and Prime Minister Tang have had a teacher-student relationship for so many years, and they must have often worked together to do things. The reason for picking up the matter that happened 18 years ago is simply because the Bai family was not involved in it. But this way is impossible, so we can only
Find another way."
Zuo Pingdao looked at Bai Lianzhou firmly, as if he wanted to peek into his heart: "It is not difficult to choose a few of the things that you have conspired with, right?"
"How is this possible!" Bai Lianzhou exclaimed, knowing that he had exposed his secret in front of Zuo Pingdao. Didn't this admit that the Bai family and Tang Xiang had done no good things together? His face turned pale, damn, this Zuo Pingdao
Pingdao used the same method used by Dali Temple to interrogate prisoners!
Zuo Pingdao pretended to be confused, and sighed: "There is a saying among the people - if you can't let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf. You are so timid and frightened. You must have been following Tang Xiang for a long time and have become servile. In this case, you still have to be servile."
Want to stand up and call the shots? Dream on."
"Master Bai, who has held great power in the past and present has not been ruthless, and sometimes he is ruthless to himself." Zuo Pingdao glanced at him and said, "There are so many things that Prime Minister Tang has planned, and there is always one."
Two of the stakes left a telltale mark."
The implication is that if they think hard and think carefully, they might be able to find something more valuable to dig up than this old case from eighteen years ago!
Bai Lianzhou's face was ashen, and he continued to look through the file without giving up, and suddenly said: "This assassination originally occurred in the Jiangnan area. It seems that the princess's biological mother used to live in Jiangnan?"
Zuo Pingdao didn't comment, just looked at his right side and closed his mouth tightly.
"Well, even though I have only met Princess Jinhua a few times, I can still imagine how beautiful a person who can give birth to such a beautiful child would be. Fortunately, the assassination was not successful, otherwise there would be no current Princess."
Men are all lustful, and one pair of eyes can tell the difference between beauty and ugliness. Although beauty is in the eye of a lover, if you really have a face as deep as a pot and a waist as deep as a bucket, you will not become a lover if you fall in the eye.
Zuo Pingdao remained silent and took a sip of tea. Thinking of the dead painter, he felt much better: "Old cases are hard to find, and all I have done is just a suggestion. Mr. Bai can return home to discuss with Prime Minister Bai. As for other matters,
I can't help you much."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Bai, I won't be idle enough to gossip in front of Prime Minister Tang. This matter will only rot in my stomach."
Bai Lianzhou put his hands into his sleeves, preparing to give Zuo Pingdao several thousand taels of silver notes, which he regarded as hush money. When he heard what he said, he immediately took out his hands and stopped holding the banknotes, secretly thinking that this was
Save it.
Zuo Pingdao's eyes were as bright as fire, and he had clearly seen his little actions. He sneered in his heart. Anyway, he should mention something. If he didn't stir up this muddy water, the Bai family would think about themselves. They all have such ambitions.
, how is it possible without exploding one?
After sending Bai Lianzhou away, Zuo Pingdao returned to the study. There was a secret door behind the bookcase on one side of the study. He hurriedly walked in and knelt down to the man inside who was playing with his finger ring: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
The person sitting in the study was none other than Yuan Emperor Xiao You, and Eunuch Hong was accompanying him on one side.
Emperor Yuan listened carefully to the conversation between the two men just now and was very satisfied with Zuo Pingdao's "provoking trouble": "Thank you Zuo Aiqing, the Bai family are smart people. If they want to protect themselves, they have to hurt Tang Xiang. His family
A fight will happen sooner or later, but it is a pity."
Zuo Pingdao was puzzled: "What is your Majesty's regret?"
"It's a pity that an old and dim-witted person like Tang Xiang, with people like Xuanyuan Bei around him to guide him, has not been stupid recently." If Emperor Yuan hadn't found it strange and sent the Feilong Army to find out, he wouldn't have known that there was such a thing in Tang Xiang's house.
General characters.
The emperor is also a human being and cannot take care of everything. No matter how dense the net is, there will still be holes. Otherwise, how could there be so much malpractice for personal gain and corruption?
It is said that there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Those who deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates are the ones who deceive the superiors. The emperor at the top is the one who has been deceived the most. Emperor Yuan knew this truth very well. He had organized the Feilong Army since he was the crown prince.
His arms and ears and eyes.
Zuo Pingdao's face was expressionless, but his tone was a little murderous: "If this person is Tang Xiang's arm, then let him go."
Eunuch Hong took a breath. He was worthy of being the Living King of Hell of Dali Temple. He didn't even blink when he mentioned a human life, as if he was just a living fish that was only cooked at most.
This remark made Emperor Yuan very happy. Although Song Luo was loyal and upright, he could be used. However, he was too upright. Things in the court were not simply black and white. He also needed a knife.
In the East Palace case, Zuo Pingdao understood his intentions and was able to follow the trend without revealing any traces, which really satisfied him. Now he proposed to kill Xuanyuan Bei, which was very satisfactory to him: "What Zuo Aiqing said is exactly what I want."
, Prime Minister Tang is old, it’s time to give way to someone new.”
Zuo Pingdao lowered his head. Having said that, the new man that Your Majesty is satisfied with is not Deputy Prime Minister Bai. Deputy Prime Minister Bai is doomed to come to nothing.
