Kangxi nodded and said "Yeah". Duolong added: "The weapons left by the rebels were engraved with the words 'Prince Pingxi's Mansion'. The underwear worn by the executed rebels also had the mark of Prince Pingxi. The rebels who came to invade the palace last night , the evidence is conclusive, it was Wu Sangui’s men who were used. Even if Wu Sangui wasn’t sent by him, he...he can’t escape his involvement.”
Kangxi asked Suo'etu: "Have you checked it too?" Suo'etu said: "The slaves have checked the weapons and underwear of the rebels. The confessions of the traitors recorded by many managers are indeed such confessions." Kangxi He said: "Bring those weapons and underwear to me to see." Duolong responded: "Yes."
Duolong had already packed all the evidence and ordered his trusted guards to wait outside the upper study. He immediately went out to bring the dragon in, unpacked the baggage, put it on the case, and immediately took a few steps back.
Kangxi walked over and picked up the sword to examine it. He saw the words "Da Ming Shanhaiguan General Military Mansion" engraved on the handle of a single sword. He smiled slightly and said: "It is wrong to try to cover up the obvious, but it is self-defeating and goes too far to deliberately trick people. But it also arouses suspicion." Xiang Suo'etu said: "If Wu Sangui sent someone to assassinate Shang in the palace, he would naturally have foresight and careful planning. What kind of sword can't be used, but why should he carry an engraved weapon? Could he not have thought of this? Will the sword be lost in the palace?" Suo'etu said: "Yes, yes, the emperor clearly saw it, and the slaves worshiped it."
Kangxi added: "If you think about it carefully, if Wu Sangui sent someone to assassinate him, he would never do it when his son was there. Why would the assassin choose a time when his son was coming to court? This is One of the suspects. Wu Sangui was good at using troops to do things carefully. He sent these rebellious people to the palace to work. The number was small, the martial arts were not very high, and they knew it would be difficult to succeed. What was the use? This was not in line with Wu Sangui's character. This was the second suspicious person. Besides, even if he sent someone to stab me to death, what good would it do to him? Did he want to rebel? If he wanted to rebel, why did he send his son to the capital so early? Didn't he deliberately send his son to us? Beheading? This is the third suspect."
Suo'etu said: "Your Majesty, what you see is beyond the reach of your servants." Kangxi said: "Think about it again, if the assassin was not sent by Wu Sangui, but carried the weapons of Prince Pingxi, what was his intention? Naturally, he wanted to frame him. He is dead. Wu Sangui has done a great job in helping us bring peace to the Qing Dynasty. There are many people who hate him and jealous of him. Who instigated these traitors needs to be interrogated carefully."
Soetou and Dolonchi claimed so. Xiang Yan said: "Your Majesty, since the traitor can frame King Pingxi, he can naturally frame other people. Even if the traitor reveals the person behind the scenes, I'm afraid he won't believe it."
Xiang Yan did not have a good impression of the Qing Dynasty. Instead, he sympathized with the anti-Qing Tiandihui, Prince Mu's Mansion and other forces. He did not want the assassin to suffer more. In addition, due to the relationship between the little princess and Fang Yi, he heard Kangxi's request. Etu and Duolong interrogated the assassin severely and then dissuaded him.
Kangxi nodded. Suo'etu said: "Your Majesty, what you said to my father-in-law is reasonable. No matter how much you torture, you may not be able to tell the truth. It's better to kill those traitors directly to set an example." Kangxi said: "No, we Let those assassins go." Wei Xiaobao said: "Let them go? This... this is too easy for them." Kangxi said: "Although these rebels are traitors, they are sent under orders. Whether they are killed or not has nothing to do with the overall situation. Now the most important thing is The most important thing is to find the mastermind and catch them all so that there will be no further trouble." At this point, he smiled and said: "Let the cub go. The cub should go find the mother wolf, right?"
Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Wonderful, wonderful! We let the assassins go, but kept a close eye on them. They would go and meet with the leader of the rebels. The Emperor's brilliant plan is really better than three Zhuge Liangs." Long said: "Your Majesty, if it weren't for Your Majesty's detailed guidance and enlightenment, the slaves would have been fooled and would have wronged a good person."
Kangxi frowned and said: "It's not easy to just keep an eye on the assassins and prevent them from noticing. Xiao Guizi, I'll give you a mission. You pretend to be a good person and rescue them from the palace. Those assassins regard you as a comrade. , I will naturally take you there." Wei Xiaobao muttered: "This...". Kangxi said: "This matter is naturally quite dangerous. If they find out, they will kill you immediately. I originally wanted to send two guards with good martial arts skills to do it, but the assassins are not stupid and may not be fooled." . And if it doesn’t work the first time, it won’t work the second time. After much thought, I think it’s best for you to handle this matter. You are a child, and the assassin will not be suspicious.”
Wei Xiaobao said: "The emperor asked me to do it, so of course I will obey. I am not afraid of dangerous things outside." Kangxi was overjoyed, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I knew you were smart and brave, and would be willing to do things for me. You You have to pretend to be as similar as possible. It is best to kill one or two guards in front of the assassins so that these assassins have no doubt about you." Then he said to Doron: "Doron, you can relax the interrogation when the time comes. , let Xiao Guizi lead the assassin out of the palace."
Wei Xiaobao and Duolong responded: "Yes." Kangxi rubbed his hands together, very excited, and said: "Xiao Guizi, what do you want me to reward you for accomplishing this thing?" Wei Xiaobao said: "If this thing is successful, , The Emperor must be happy. As long as the Emperor is happy, that is better than any reward. Next time the Emperor thinks of something interesting and dangerous, and still sends me to do it, that would be great."
Kangxi was overjoyed and said: "Definitely, definitely. Alas, Xiao Guizi, it's a pity that you are an eunuch, otherwise I would have rewarded you with a high official position." Wei Xiaobao said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I beg you for a favor." Kangxi He smiled and said: "Do you want to be a high official?" Wei Xiaobao said: "No! I work for the emperor loyally. If I get into trouble and make the emperor angry, you have to spare my life and don't kill my head." Kangxi said: " As long as you are really loyal to me, your head will be stable around your neck." He laughed loudly.
