As soon as these words came out, not to mention Qin Feng, even the Beidi officials present were shocked.
This kind of inside story is not something that outsiders can know. Wu Fangxu would not have revealed such a royal scandal if he had not been forced to do anything else.
But what Qin Feng wants is this kind of bombshell news!
"Keep talking!"
Now that he had opened his mouth, Wu Fangxu had nothing to hide. He took a deep breath and directly revealed the most secret scandal of the Beidi royal family.
"When the King of Beidi saw that there was no hope of inheriting the throne, he secretly colluded with the powerful officials in the court and ordered the eunuchs serving the late emperor to secretly add cinnabar to the late emperor's meals."
"At first, in order to avoid exposing the secret, only a small amount of cinnabar was added. After the late emperor gradually became accustomed to the cinnabar and became less aware of the changes, he gradually increased the dosage."
"This cinnabar is not harmful to the body if taken in small amounts, but if taken for a long time, it can cause poisoning."
"When the late emperor became ill, King Beidi ordered the maids to join forces to strangle the prince in his sleep, and also kill the prince who came back from the palace to mourn."
"In the end, with the support of powerful ministers, King Beidi succeeded in inheriting the throne."
"Afterwards, after the Beidi King gradually took control of the power, he carried out a bloody purge of those who participated in the murder of the late emperor. It was at that time that the Night Owl established by the late emperor gradually developed and grew."
"It's just that King Beidi, in all his calculations, missed two people. One is the late emperor's princess Jing Yushu, and the other is a little eunuch in the harem who knew about it."
"The old eunuch who poisoned the late emperor knew that he was bound to die, so he told his confidant the young eunuch all the secrets. Many years later, the young eunuch was caught stealing things from the palace. In order to survive, he told the secret .”
"We, the Minister of Rites, knew that this matter was of great importance, so we executed the young eunuch and suppressed the secret."
After hearing what Wu Fangxu said, Qin Feng was thoughtful, and after a moment, he asked softly: "According to you, all the witnesses back then are dead. Even if the secret is true, who would believe it? "
Wu Fangxu seemed to have expected Qin Feng to say this, so he quickly explained: "Although there are no human witnesses, there is still physical evidence!"
"The ministers who conspired with the King of Beidi at the beginning were afraid that they would be killed and silenced in the future, so they were extra careful and kept all the letters they had with the King of Beidi."
"He originally planned to use this to blackmail King Beidi, but he was killed by Ye Xiao before he even opened his mouth."
"These letters are all sealed in the Night Owl headquarters."
Wu Fangxu's words are really too tempting. As long as all this is true, then King Beidi can be easily brought down. And Jing Qianying is the only surviving heir of the late emperor, so Jing Qianying will inherit the throne. , it is logical.
But Qin Feng was a little worried, fearing that this Wu Fangxu was a dead soldier beside King Beidi. If it was true, if he produced false evidence and publicized it, he would end up shooting himself in the foot.
To be on the safe side, Qin Feng did not rush to be happy, but quickly asked: "Since all these evidences are at Ye Xiao headquarters, how did you know?"
Wu Fangxu was confident: "Master Qin, you may not know something. Li Yu, the head of the Night Owl, once worked in the Ministry of Rites, and was later transferred to the Night Owl."
"It is precisely because of this that Li Yu has a close relationship with the Ministry of Rites."
"I don't dare to deceive Lord Qin. These secrets were all told by Li Yu to the subordinates because Li Yu also wanted to leave a way out for himself..."
Speaking of this, Wu Fangxu immediately knelt down and begged: "This official is Li Yu's spy in the Ministry of Rites."
Wu Fangxu knew very well how much trouble Ye Xiao had caused Qin Feng, and also knew that Qin Feng hated Li Yu. He was afraid that Qin Feng would be angry because of his relationship with Li Yu.
Qin Feng still didn't dare to fully believe it. After all, Wu Fangxu's remarks were... too much of a coincidence.
Is it possible that God will give you whatever you want? Then God thinks too highly of himself.
However, it is impossible to distinguish the authenticity of Wu Fangxu's words.
Just when Qin Feng was in a dilemma, Liu Ming suddenly walked up to Qin Feng and whispered softly: "Master Hou, I don't dare to judge whether the secret Wu Fangxu said is true or false, but his relationship with Li Yu is true. of."
"As the person in charge of Night Owl, Li Yu is naturally the key surveillance target of Jin Yiwei. Before that, Jin Yiwei had done everything it could to investigate Li Yu's relationship network."
"Therefore, I feel that Wu Fangxu's words are 70-80% credible."
Liu Ming was engaged in intelligence, and even he said so, Qin Feng's heart dropped a little. However, because the matter was so important, Qin Feng did not dare to be arbitrary, so he directly ordered Liu Ming to take the Jin Yiwei directly. Ben Ye Xiao's headquarters, go and review all the secret files of Ye Xiao.
Ever since Ye Xiao betrayed King Beidi, the headquarters has been sealed off. All Ye Xiao who were loyal to King Beidi were imprisoned in the headquarters and had to eat, drink, and have sex inside.
When Liu Ming led the Jinyi Guards and the Tianji Camp Guards, broke the big lock on the door, pushed the door open and walked in, he saw a huge courtyard with a pungent stench.
Liu Ming frowned, waved his hand and ordered: "Search for me, don't let go of anything valuable!"
Following the order, the Jinyi guards dispersed, while the Tianji camp guards walked together, leaving only four people guarding Liu Ming.
The mission of the guards from the Tianji Battalion is to protect the safety of the Jin Yiwei. After all, they have to face the night owl who kills without blinking an eye, and the Jin Yiwei are not good at fighting to the death, so it is necessary to have the guards from the Tianji Battalion to assist.
After a while, Jin Yiwei returned to Liu Ming one after another.
"Sir, a large number of Night Owl corpses were found in the backyard cell."
"These corpses have been dead for at least half a month."
Liu Ming didn't react much. After all, he had seen more corpses than he could count and had long been numb.
"Is the stench in the courtyard coming from the rotting corpses?"
The tall and thin guard in brocade clothes in front of him shook his head repeatedly: "Obviously not. Although these people have been dead for half a month, the corpses are not obviously decomposed due to the cold weather."
"These stinky smells should be coming from excrement."
Liu Ming knew that many night owls were imprisoned here. It seemed that they were not having a hard time during this period!
It is hard to imagine that Ye Xiao, who was so powerful at the beginning, would end up like a pig or a dog.
Out of awe for his colleagues, Liu Ming asked softly: "Are these night owls starving to death?"
The tall and thin Jin Yiwei shook his head again: "They were all killed."
