    Du He did not directly steal "Bian Que Shen Pian", nor did he choose to take action at this juncture, but stopped for three days.  Because the matter is too serious, if the Wang family discovers that "Bian Que Shen Pian" has been stolen before the court returns to court, and prepares for the response in time with the Cui family, unpredictable consequences will occur, and the risk factor is too high.

    We must find a way to steal "Bian Que Shen Pian" while also allowing the Wang family to feel at ease.

    The royal order has been restored, and the royal family¡¯s wedding banquet is still held.  []

    After everything calmed down, Du He sneaked into Wang's house again and waited.

    That night, Ms. Zhang was taking off her makeup in front of the mirror. When she stood up, Du He used a small ball of clay in the dark and shot it into Ms. Zhang's knee, making her uncontrollable.  He threw himself on the dressing table.  He knocked everything on the dressing table to the ground, including an oil lamp.

    With a "pop" sound, the oil lamp broke into pieces, and the oil in the lamp burned.

    Du He outside the window took advantage of Zhang's fall and no time to pay attention, and lit the cotton ball that had been prepared. The cotton ball was full of kerosene, and he threw the cotton ball under the mosquito net at the foot of the bed.

    The cotton ball turned to ashes in an instant, but the kerosene and the slight firepower were enough to ignite the flammable mosquito net.

    The fire broke out and quickly spread throughout the bed.

    Zhang, a woman, had never seen such a scene before when she returned home. She was so frightened that she yelled and ran out of the room.

    Du He waited for this moment, flew in through the window as quickly as possible, took out "Bian Que Shen Pian", and then hid a similar booklet with "Bian Que Shen Pian" into the dressing box, and then took out the "Bian Que Shen Pian" from the window.  He took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and poured the liquid in the porcelain bottle onto the makeup box.

    The small porcelain bottle is filled with odorless and flammable plain oil, and the letter that replaces "Bian Que Shen Pian" has also been soaked in plain oil for three days and will burn when exposed to fire.  Under this double protection, the cosmetic box and the letters in the box can be reduced to ashes in just a short time.

    Du He did all this without any hesitation. He applied the remaining plain oil in the porcelain bottle to the flammable places in the house and lit a spark.

    Du He has observed this house and knows that there is no water source near the house. As long as the fire is strong, it will be difficult to extinguish it.  Before anyone came, he left the room through the window and hid in the big banyan tree near the burning house.

    Just in case, Du He decided to see Wang Gu's reaction with his own eyes before drawing a conclusion.

    At Mrs. Zhang¡¯s shout, three servants hurried over, holding brooms in their hands without much anxiety.  They heard Ms. Zhang say that she knocked over an oil lamp and caused a fire, but they didn't pay much attention to it. They thought it was the woman who was panicking and exaggerated the disaster. It was only when they arrived at the scene that they became really panicked.

    Because of Du He¡¯s secret manipulation, in a short period of time, the entire house was almost on fire, and the fire became more and more intense.

    Winter has not yet passed, the cold wind is howling, and the fire is taking advantage of the wind, and there are even signs of spreading.

    The servants finally realized the seriousness of the situation. Some of them shouted for help, and some held brooms and kept hitting the spreading flames, hoping to prevent the spread of the fire.

    By the time the fire brigade arrived, the bedroom was already engulfed in flames and no one could enter.

    Wang Gu, who came after hearing the news, looked at the house that was already on fire, pulled Zhang aside and asked softly.

    Du He looked at them, but because of the distance, he could not hear clearly what was said, but he could see that Wang Gu was a little suspicious, but Zhang kept shaking his head.

    Wang Gu did become suspicious. Now faced with the pressure from Li Huishi and the Hui people, most aristocratic families chose to retreat in order to advance and seek stability.  But in the past few days, the Wang family has been having troubles one after another, which really makes people wonder if someone is deliberately targeting them, or has discovered something?

    But there were no results. A few days ago, Tianwangjie was poisoned and the doctors were helpless. But that night, Wangjie felt refreshed and recovered without taking medicine. He seemed to be more energetic than before.  In the end, I could only come to the conclusion that I had eaten something bad and had a stomachache.

    A few days later, another fire broke out.  After detailed investigation, it was found that the fire was indeed Zhang's accident and was not caused by others.

    Wang Gu could only attribute all this to coincidence, and planned to choose a good and auspicious day to go to the Taoist temple to burn incense and ask questions to get rid of the hostility in his house.

    There were many people in the palace, and the fire was put out with the concerted efforts of everyone.

    However, due to the delay in rescue, half of the bedroom that was first ignited has collapsed, making it uninhabitable.

    Wang Gu was concerned about "Bian Que Shen Pian" and asked people to clean up the scene immediately.

    The collapsed rubble and broken roof beams and walls were all thrown out.

    Wang Gu found the makeup box containing "Bian Que Shen Pian" in the dark scene, and at this moment he could only rely onIt was a shadow of a makeup box. Because the house collapsed, the blackened makeup box was crushed into three sections, revealing the letters hidden inside. The letters turned into bamboo charcoal in the fire, and even turned into charcoal ash, and the writing  It's hard to tell what's going on.

    Wang Gu stayed for a while, then sighed and said: "It's okay to burn it, it's God's will, don't force it"

    As early as the beginning, Cui Zhongping asked him to burn "Bian Que Shen Pian" to prevent leaks.  It's just that Wang Gu couldn't bear it. For a man who loved books and medicine, he couldn't bear to let him burn the treasure left by his ancestor when he returned to the clan. He hesitated again and again and chose to hide it deeply.

    Now due to an accident, "Bian Que Shen Pian" has been reduced to ashes, and Wang Gu can only attribute it all to fate.

    Du He, who was hiding in the tree, felt relieved after seeing this scene. Without the obstruction of "Bian Que Shen Pian", as long as he reported everything, the court would be able to uproot King Cui's family with lightning speed.  .

    That night, Du He left the palace and returned to the inn.  Early the next morning, we set off back to Chang'an.

    After seven days of urgent travel, Du He took the straight road and arrived at Chang'an.  He first went over to the mansion and chatted with Chang Le and Li Xueyan at home for a while, and teased Little Bao'er and Lily. It wasn't until the sky darkened that he estimated that he would be home soon when he returned to Du Ruhui, then he went to Cai Guogong's mansion.

    When her mother, Mrs. Zhang, saw Du He coming back, she complained that he was too careless about his family. He went on an expedition for a year or two and left home again not even half a month after his return.

    Du He smiled and accepted it humbly, feeling very ashamed in his heart.  He always thought that he would be free to spend time with his family, but in fact, after he finished this task, another thing followed.  Every time I think about free time, I can't find the time to fulfill my promise.

    ¡°Perhaps this is because you are returning from an official position and you can¡¯t help yourself!

    Fortunately, the three daughters in the family are virtuous and virtuous, and they can understand his difficulties and support him in every way, giving him great encouragement.

    Du He was chatting with his eldest brother Du Gou. Before long, Du Ruhui walked into the hall. When he saw Du He, he was startled for a moment, and then said: "Come to my study"

    Not seeing his three daughters-in-law and grandchildren, Du Ruhui immediately understood that Du He came to discuss important matters with him.  He knew in his heart that Du He was becoming more and more mature and stable. If there was no big deal, he would not come to him as his father for discussion without any hesitation.

    This old man dedicated almost everything he had to the Tang Dynasty, and to the Mingjun Holy Lord who was kind to him.

    Du He nodded and gave a special instruction that during the discussion, no one was allowed to approach the study, not even to bring tea or water.

    "What makes Erlang so cautious!" Du Ruhui sat at the desk and looked at the son standing in front of him who he could be proud of.

    Du He first handed the letter written by Li Tai to Cui Zhongping to Du Ruhui and said: "Father, take a look at this first"

    "Damn it, His Royal Highness the King of Wei actually intends to kill his mother" After Du Ruhui read the letter, he also remembered the secret that Du He accidentally discovered back then, contacted his superiors, and immediately came to the conclusion, trembling with anger.  As a scholar who has read four books, Du Ruhui regards loyalty, filial piety and integrity as more important than life. Li Tai intends to kill his mother, which is an act that corrupts the bottom line of human ethics and morality.

    Du He then took out the "Bian Que Shen Pian" from his arms, turned to the page where "Blood Rong Fruit" was recorded, handed it to Du Ruhui and said, "Look at this"

    Du Ruhui briefly talked about some introductory knowledge in medicine, what are the warm, hot and cold properties of medicine.

    Du Ruhui, like Du He, was a little hesitant at first. He didn't understand why "Xue Rong Guo" was obviously a good medicine to treat Empress Changsun, but why the letter mentioned that he wanted to kill Empress Changsun. After thinking about it again and again, he noticed that patients with "liver-qi disease" could not take it.  Gradually he understood the words, and said in shock: "This is to kill the king Cui Zhongping is so brave."

    Du He agreed: "Erlang has thought a lot along the way and found that the possibility of regicide is far greater than that of regicide, because regicide is more effective and safer than regicide."

    "How do you say it?" Du Ruhui asked.

    "The charges of regicide and regicide are the same. They are both serious crimes that can destroy the nine clans. Therefore, there is really no difference between regicide and regicide. If you have the courage to kill the queen, you must have the courage to kill the king. If Empress Changsun died in vain, your majesty will do it to you.  The Queen's feelings will inevitably be investigated to the end. Maybe Cui Zhongping did it very secretly, but no one can guarantee that everything will be perfect and leave no clues. On the contrary, once the majesty dies, no one will stand up for him. The prince is about to lose power, and King Wei and Wu  The king was watching eagerly. At that time, who succeeded the throne was the most important thing. Who would care whether his majesty died of natural illness or was secretly tampered with? This would instead avoid the risk of being investigated. If I were Cui Zhongping, I would also choose  Regicide"

    Du He said in a low voice, these were all things he said at the time.Unaware of the connection on the road, the more in-depth analysis of the matter, the more certain Cui Zhongping was to use Li Tai to kill the king.

    Du Ruhui nodded silently. Du He's analysis was indeed reasonable. With the information already obtained, he could prove the crimes of Li Tai and Cui Zhongping. He pointed to Li Tai's secret letter and "Bian Que Shen Pian" and said: "These two  How did Erlang get these things?"

    Du He told the truth that Li Tai's secret letter came from Changsun Wuji. There was nothing to say. He took the twists and turns from "Bian Que Shen Pian" and explained in detail.

    Du Ruhui was silent for a long time, put away the secret letter and "Bian Que Shen Pian", and said: "Ignore this matter, Erlang, and leave it to my father. You have been exposed to too many royal scandals, and you have gone too deep."  Such interference will be harmful rather than beneficial to your career." He said with a dazzling light in his eyes.

    This time, Mingxiang, who has been silent for a long time, is ready to stretch his muscles.
