"Mr. Tian, thank you for your reminder. Do you know which rogue he hired and when he is going to take action?" Xiang Nan asked again.
"This person's nickname is Liu Xiaobian'er. He is a gangster of the Nanhua Street generation. His biggest feature is that he has a pigtail on the back of his head." Tian Kui explained, "The specific time of the operation is not clear. In short, it was in Mr. Xi must be careful during these seven or eight days."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Tian for reminding me. I am really grateful to Xi." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said, "Forgive me for asking a few more questions. Where did Mr. Tian know such a secret? And why did he tell me? "
"Mr. Xi really doesn't remember me?" Tian Kui said with a smile, "Half a year ago, when you were practicing medicine in Cangzhou, there was a beggar who ate bark, grass, roots and Guanyin soil, which caused an abdominal bulge like iron..."
"Oh, I remember it happened." Xiang Nan nodded, "But it wasn't me who could save you. I couldn't cure your disease at the time."
"Yes, it was Mr. Lu Zhonglu who saved me." Tian Kui nodded, "I have always been very grateful to him. Without him saving me, I would have died at that time, and it would be impossible to participate in Qiuwei and pass the Jinshi examination."
"Then you are still willing to help me? Don't you know why Lu Zhong was arrested and why he was sent away?" Xiang Nan then asked.
He wanted to know what kind of medicine Tian Kui was selling in his gourd. What drove him to betray Wang Tianhe and inform himself.
"Mr. Xi, I know that Mr. Lu was sent to Ning Guta because he intended to set fire to your house. But the root cause of this matter does not lie with you, but with Wang Tianhe. It was he who forced Mr. Lu to do this. Mr. Lu dare not If you disobey, you have to obey.
After Mr. Lu was arrested, Wang Tianhe threatened his family and forced him to take all the blame. Mr. Lu had no choice but to do it for the sake of his family.
It can be said that Mr. Lu suffered this disaster all because of Wang Tianhe. Tian Kui said indignantly, "That's why I am at odds with him." "
In order to please Xiang Nan, he said Wang Tianhe was extremely evil and would throw all kinds of shit basins at his head.
But when Xiang Nan heard this, he knew that Tian Kui's words were not entirely true.
Because Lu Zhong is a model of foolish loyalty, willing to give his life for Wang Tianhe. Therefore, Wang Tianhe did not need to use his family to threaten him, he would take the blame himself.
Tian Kui's exaggeration showed his hypocrisy.
…
"That's it." Xiang Nan nodded, and then continued to ask, "Mr. Tian, you haven't said anything yet, how did you know about such a secret thing?"
"To be honest, Mr. Xi, after Mr. Lu was assigned, Wang Tianhe had no one available, so he thought of me." Tian Kui explained.
This kind of thing cannot be hidden. When the time comes, Wang Tianhe will confess him. Therefore, it is better to say it yourself first, which is also a crime and meritorious service.
"He wanted to use me to harm you, and promised to protect me as a supervisory censor afterwards, but I am a scholar and will never do such an unscrupulous thing." Tian Kui said with a righteous look on his face. road.
Xiang Nan nodded, still not believing Tian Kui's words.
The so-called righteous people slaughter dogs, but the unfaithful ones are mostly scholars.
Tian Kui is such an ungrateful, shameless and heartless person.
In the play, in order to keep his promotion and fortune, he not only betrayed the woman he loved, but also the benefactor who saved him.
Now, how could one's conscience realize that there must be something fishy in leaving the censor in hand and coming to report to him?
"That's it." Xiang Nan praised, "Mr. Tian is indeed one of the well-read sages. He understands righteousness, is upright, and does not associate with evil and evil. I admire you. I am also very grateful to Mr. Tian for his righteous deeds!" "
"Mr. Xi, you're welcome. You are a miracle doctor who is famous all over the capital and Cangzhou. You have helped the world by hanging a pot, and there are countless living people. I can't bear to see anything happen to you." Tian Kui said generously.
"Thank you for your kindness." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Tian, I have another unkind favor."
"Mr. Xi, please speak." Tian Kui nodded.
"When I report to the prince, catch the poisoner, and testify against Wang Tianhe, I hope Mr. Tian can help me." Xiang Nan cupped his hands.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xi. It's the right thing to do, and I, Tian Kui, have no obligation to refuse." When Tian Kui heard this, his eyes lit up and he agreed without hesitation.
The reason why he betrayed Wang Tianhe was not because he wanted to use Xiang Nan to climb the big tree of Prince Jing.
Xiang Nan had been paying attention to Tian Kui's behavior, and when he saw his excited expression, he suddenly realized.
"That's it." He understood clearly in his heart.
Nowadays, the reformists are creating public opinion and promoting reform and reform, making their influence increasing day by day.
And because in the past few years, the Qing court has been defeated repeatedly, ceding territory and paying indemnities, losing people and losing battles again, so everyone in the government and the opposition is happy that the country will become richer and stronger. The premise is not to harm your own interests.
Therefore, at the beginning, even the Empress Dowager Cixi was very ambiguous about the reform. As a result, it seemed that the reformists had the upper hand.
Prince Jing is the leader of the reformists and a popular figure in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. He not only holds great power, but also has a growing reputation. Therefore, Tian Kui probably thought that he was Gao Zhi'er, and that following him would be more promising than following Wang Tianhe, so he did not hesitate to betray Wang Tianhe to sell himself a good son.
"I really didn't expect that Feng Shui could still take turns." Xiang Nan laughed secretly in his heart.
In the play, Tian Kui betrayed Lu Zhengming and Xilaile in order to capture Wang Tianhe's Gao Zhier. Now, it was to betray Wang Tianhe in order to gain the upper hand of the prince.
I just don’t know if he will regret his current choice when he is pushed to the guillotine after the reform fails.
"Okay, I would like to thank Mr. Tian for his righteousness in advance." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said, "When the matter is done, I will express my gratitude."
"You don't have to be polite, Mr. Xi. I'm helping you out of loyalty. Why should I say thank you?" Tian Kui waved his hand.
…
Suddenly, Xiang Nan came to the palace again and told Prince Jing about the matter.
"What?! Wang Tianhe still refuses to calm down and wants to cause trouble?" When Prince Jing heard this, he was surprised and said, "Xilaile, are you telling the truth? How can he be so bold and dare to eat food? God’s hands and feet?”
He didn't expect Wang Tianhe to be so crazy. After he made it clear that Yixiaotang and Shiweitian were both business of the palace, he would still dare to cause trouble. It was extremely wanton!
"My lord, what you hear is false and what you see is belief." Xiang Nan suggested, "Lend me a few smart guards and let them keep an eye on Yixiaotang and Shiweitian. We will see the outcome within seven days at most."
Although Tian Kui only said that Wang Tianhe wanted to poison the food world. But Xiang Nan was worried that this was a plan to attack the east and attack the west. They say they are poisoning the world through food, but they are actually poisoning Yixiaotang.
After all, these two companies are Xiang Nan's businesses, and anything that happens to either company can implicate him, so he has to be more cautious.
"Okay, I'll lend it to you. I want to see if Wang Tianhe really took advantage of the leopard's guts and dared to ignore my words." Prince Jing said angrily.
