Su Ziji pondered for a long time and then said: "We need to continue to investigate the Moon Worship Temple line. Ying Guo is getting involved. I'm afraid the motive is not trivial. Don't pursue it too roughly, so as not to alert the enemy."
"But the investigation must be more detailed. Use the people instead of officials. Let the people supervise on a daily basis. Mr. Lu, you can let Shi Chengyan take charge of this matter and you can provide guidance."
Shi Chengyan is a local snake, so he is indeed more suitable to investigate this matter. The wild Taoist thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Naturally, he would not have any worries about Shi Chengyan, an outsider.
"As for this Bai Lekang." Su Ziji took a few steps and couldn't help but show a cold expression.
"My acting king's foundation is too shallow, so others look respectful, but in fact they still feel that I can be deceived. Otherwise, why didn't Bai Lekang deceive the King of Shu and Qi and come to my acting king's palace?"
As Su Ziji spoke, his face gradually softened. He looked at the wild Taoist and said slowly, "Don't touch this man yet. Give him money and treatment. Play a long game to catch big fish. Cooperate with the investigation, and then the punishment will be determined."
"There are no outsiders here. The emperor's body is getting worse day by day. All the kings are preparing. I can't let Prince Dai feel that he can be bullied. Once there is chaos, everyone will defect to the strong. So don't hesitate and use whatever means you have." .”
"...Yes!" Seeing Su Ziji speak like this, the wild Taoist bowed deeply and said in a hoarse voice: "A scholar dies for his confidant. My lord treats me as a national scholar, and I will repay him as a national scholar."
As he said this, he lowered his head and thought, and in a blink of an eye he came up with two or three ideas. Just as he was about to speak, there were footsteps again outside the door, and Jian Qu came to see him.
"Come in..." Su Ziji was startled for a moment, then turned around and smiled. Jian Qu came in and reported some of his duties in the house, and then said: "My lord, we are preparing for the cultural gathering at Qianqi Lake tonight. Hundreds of examples, do you have any other instructions? If not, I will go and inquire about the situation."
Su Ziji smiled and said, "Don't be busy for now. I have a new idea about this matter."
Jian Qu's eyelids twitched: "What do you mean..."
"I will go to the cultural gathering tonight in person."
"My lord, you have just dealt with several temples. Although you have shocked them, how do you know that there will be no believers who want to take revenge? At this time, you will not bring too many people to the cultural gathering, right? This is too dangerous!"
Not only Jian Qu, but also the wild Taoist people also disagreed and persuaded: "I second the proposal, and my lord, if you go in person, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hear the truth."
Who would be so stupid as to comment on the prince's affairs in front of a prince? I'm afraid all I'll hear are compliments.
It was rare for Su Ziji to see these two people anxious, so he did not tease them and directly stated his plan: "It's not appropriate to go on behalf of the king, but it's okay to send someone to participate."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and shouted: "Come here!"
After a while, a servant came in. In the tray was a set of old Juren costumes. This was not a forgery. He had worn it when he went to Beijing.
Seeing that their lord asked for the "White Dragon Fish Suit", Ye Taoist and Jian Qu's eyelids jumped and they looked worried.
But his own lord knew that although the kings were not merciless, he was not someone who would change his mind easily after making a decision.
Knowing that he could not be persuaded, and even suspecting that the lord might have other motives for visiting incognito under such circumstances, the wild Taoist was silent for a moment and said: "Then I am also willing to go."
Su Ziji did not object and said, "Okay, Mr. Lu will go with me, and if I take Bo Yan with me, the rest of us won't have to go."
The remaining people also include Jian Qu.
The change of plan was due to learning from the wild Taoists about Ying Guo's intervention, which gave Su Ziji a bad premonition and a sense of urgency.
This time when Da Zheng fights for the dragon, I am afraid that not only will there be internal strife among the princes, but also foreign vassals may intervene.
"Time is too short. It can be said that when princes compete for the dragon, in addition to the emperor's own will, the prince's personal, especially reputation, is also very important."
"I came to Beijing relatively young, so it's actually very difficult to catch up quickly in this area."
"To make up for it, you have to rely on literary minds and carving dragons. Therefore, you must see and listen to it in person to have a clearer understanding of its function."
Under such circumstances, it is even more appropriate for a wild Taoist to hang out in the world for a long time.
Jian Qu was startled for a moment, unwilling in his heart, but still responded: "Yes, I'll call someone right away."
Bo Yan was promoted to a military attache and showed his loyalty to the king. He had nothing to do at noon, so he practiced a few games in the martial arts field opened in the palace. Suddenly someone came to see him and asked him to change into private clothes to meet the king. Wang quickly wiped his sweat and changed his clothes.
When they got to the hall, they saw Su Ziji coming out.
Bo Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw Su Ziji in a half-worn, wide-sleeved shirt with long sleeves, tied with a wooden crown.
Bo Yan couldn't help but think to himself: "The King of Dai really has the demeanor of a young master Wangchen."
It's just that the clothes the king is wearing are not the clothes that a prince should wear, but the clothes he wears, which makes him a little confused.
The wild Taoist said: "Your Majesty is going to a private server to see how the people are feeling. You are responsible for ensuring safety. Do you understand?"
"...Ah, I understand." Bo Yan's heart moved when he knew that Dai Wangzhi had taken him and Mr. Lu to the Qianqi Lake Literary Society incognito.
Let him alone protect the King Dai who is visiting incognito privately. This represents trust!
Otherwise, why not bring the old guard and let him protect the prince alone?
Bo Yan agreed immediately.
Since it was a private visit incognito, we couldn't use Dai Wangfu's ox cart. After all, the Wangfu ox cart had signs, so you could tell who was on it at a glance.
There was a handlebar rental car a few streets away. Su Ziji took Bo Yan, who had also changed his private clothes, and Ye Daoren out, and exited through the side door. There were many passers-by and nearby stalls at the door. When they went out, they heard many The shouting didn't attract much attention.
There was a candy stall not far from the entrance of Prince Dai's Mansion. There was an ordinary young man who was buying candy from the vendor. From time to time, he glanced at the door of the Prince's Mansion and saw three people walking out of the side door. After taking a look, they His eyes suddenly opened wider.
"I don't want the candy man anymore, I'll give you the money." The vendor had just started to make the candy man, and the young man threw down the copper plate and left in a hurry.
About a street away from this stall in the opposite direction, there was a cloth shop on the street. The young man hurried in and whispered a few words to one of the waiters. The waiter gave him a piece of broken silver. The young man squeezed it and turned away with satisfaction.
In the secret room, the light was still dim. Gui Junxi held three incense sticks in his hand, lit them, pointed them in front, moved his lips slightly, and said silently, and then inserted the three incense sticks into the incense burner in a moment.
As the smoke from the three incense sticks rose up and filled the secret room, two more blurry shadows appeared directly opposite the incense burner, twisting and dancing with the previous shadows, as if many hungry people were fighting for it. Eat.
The smoke rushed toward the black shadow. In the darkness, the light spots flickered rapidly, and the incense was also consumed quickly.
After a while, when the burning speed of the incense gradually slowed down, the black shadows finally stopped squeezing around, but it did not calm down like that. It was like having eaten and drank enough and finally gained strength. Sharp curses also came and went in the secret room. sounded.
"The acting king must die a happy death!"
"I hate you so much! I swear to destroy the whole family of King Dai in order to relieve my hatred!"
"Insulting the gods! You will not die a good death!"
