Nightwatcher Chapter 155: Go home

　　 Imperial Palace, Royal Garden.

　　 In the pavilion with bright yellow curtains hanging down, an octagonal table made of yellow rosewood sits with a yellow robe and a blue dress.

　　Wei Yuan and Emperor Yuan Jing are at the same age. One has a ruddy complexion and black hair, and the other has white temples early, and his eyes contain the vicissitudes of time.

　　 If you compare a man to a drink, Emperor Yuan Jing is the most glamorous and noble pot. Regardless of the taste, Wei Yuan is the most mellow and fragrant.

　　 The two are talking.

　　 Emperor Yuan Jing looked at Baizi who was taken away by Wei Yuan and sighed:

　　" After the death of King Huai, Optimus Prime disappeared from the northern border. The barbarians were unable to stir up troubles for a while, but if the Northeast Sorcerer detoured through the northern border and entered from Chuzhou, it would be a direct attack on the capital. Dragon Slayer is here!"

　　While talking, Emperor Yuanjing dropped his piece, and in the crisp sound of the piece hitting the chessboard, the situation suddenly came to one side, and the white piece formed a sharp sword, approaching the dragon.

　　"Hey, Wei Qing is a little absent-minded in playing chess today."

　　 Wei Yuan's eyes were gentle, twisting the sunspots, and said: "Optimus Prime is too high to be controlled. When it collapses, it hurts others and even more."

　　 a light drop.

　　 The two chatted and played against each other. After four or five sons settled, Emperor Yuan Jing said lightly:

　　" The prince was assassinated a few days ago. Everyone in the harem was in danger, and the queen was also frightened. During this period of time, I didn’t eat well and I didn’t sleep well, and people became haggard. Wei Qing, catch the assassin earlier and let this After the matter passes, the queen will not have to worry about it."

　　Wei Yuan glanced at the chessboard, threw his sons to admit defeat, and let out a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty's chess skills are getting better and better."

　　 Then, he got up, took a few steps back, and said, "It's the Weichen negligence. The Weichen will do his best to catch the assassin this morning."

　　 Emperor Yuan Jing burst into laughter.

　　............

　　 At the same time, the Cabinet.

　　 A middle-aged **** in a python robe brought two eunuchs to Wenyuan Pavilion and met with the first assistant Wang Zhenwen.

　　 did not stay for too long, and within a quarter of an hour, the **** led the two eunuchs away.

　　 Shoufu Wang Zhenwen sat expressionlessly behind the case, without moving for a long time, like a silent sculpture.

　　............

　　 The next day, at the court meeting, Emperor Yuan Jing still argued with the princes about the Chuzhou case, but it was not as intense as yesterday, and the hall was full of gunpowder.

　　 Although there is still no ending to the dynastic meeting today, the dynasty was dispersed in a more peaceful manner.

　　 Zheng Xinghuai, who has been in the officialdom for a long time, smells a little uneasy. He knows that the problem he worried about yesterday has finally appeared.

At the 　　 dynasty meeting, although the princes still refused to let go, they did not insist on convicting the Zhenbei King as they did yesterday.

　　 Even when the nobles proposed how to eliminate the rumors in Beijing and change the views of the 20,000 Jiashi in Chuzhou on the matter, some civil officials participated in the discussion under the pretext of reprimanding.

　　 And what made Zheng Xinghuai most distressed was that Wei Yuan and Wang Zhenwen remained silent all the time.

After 　　 left, Zheng Xinghuai walked in silence, and when he was walking, he suddenly heard someone calling him: "Master Zheng, please stay."

　　 He turned his head stubbornly and saw Cao Guogong, who was wearing the duke's crown, catching up with him, with a clear smile on his face.

　　 According to Zheng Xinghuai, this is the smile of the winner.

　　 "Master Zheng, you left Chuzhou privately and went to Beijing to file a complaint. You thought you were coming with the general trend. Have you ever thought about today?"

　　Cao Guogong has a calm expression, and said lightly:

　　"My father gave you a straight road. Chuzhou City is waiting to be rejuvenated. You are the chief ambassador of Chuzhou. At this time, it is time to stay in Chuzhou and rebuild Chuzhou City. As for things in Beijing, Don't mix it up."

　　 He turned his head and glanced at the Jinluan Temple behind him, and said: "This is what your Majesty meant."

　　 Your Majesty means that if you see a good one, you will accept it, and you are still the chief ambassador of Chuzhou. Where did it come from, and where did it go back. Anyway, Chuzhou is tens of thousands of miles away from the capital, and I am blind to you.

　　 "Bah!"

　　 responded to him with Zheng Xinghuai's saliva.

　　 "I don't know how to promote."

　　 Cao Guogong sneered looking at Zheng Xinghuai's back.

　　.........

　　 Fighting people's yamen, Haoqilou.

　　Wei Yuan was the first person to visit after Zheng Xinghuai scattered.

　　 Xu Qi'an has been paying attention to the movement in the court today, and was about to go to the inn to ask Zheng Xinghuai about the situation. Hearing that he was visiting Wei Yuan, he immediately went to the Haoqi Building.

　　 but was stopped by guards downstairs.

　　 "Wei Gong said that during the meeting, no one is allowed to disturb. In addition, Wei Gong didn't plan to see you during this period. Didn't we catch you several times."

　　Guardian and Xu Qi'an are old acquaintances, and they don't have any scruples when talking.

　　 Xu Qian didn’t hesitate to beat others, slapped his head constantly, slapped and cursed: "Only you talk a lot, you talk a lot..."

　　 the seventh floor.

　　Wearing Tsing Yi, Wei Yuan sat cross-legged in front of the case with white temples.

　　 Opposite him, his back is gradually rickety, his hair is also gray, and there is Zheng Xinghuai who can't get rid of the frustration between his eyebrows.

　　 "At the end of the investigation in Beijing, Master Zheng returned to Beijing to report on his duties, and I saw you once. Although your hair was gray, but your spirit was good." Wei Yuan's voice was gentle and his eyes were pitiful.

　　 Goodbye now, this person seems to have no soul. The heavy bags under the eyes and the bloodshot eyes indicate that he can't sleep at night.

　　's slightly drooping corners of the mouth and the stagnation between the eyebrows, it shows that the other party is deeply resentful, difficult to calm down, and difficult to relax.

　　 "Is Gong Wei going to give up too?" Zheng Xinghuai said solemnly.

　　"I admire Xu Qi'an very much and think he is a natural martial artist, but sometimes I feel headaches because of his temperament."

　　 Wei Yuan said in response to what he had not asked: "I told him that in officialdom, he must think twice: think about danger, think about retreat, think about change.

　　"Before doing something, you must consider the consequences of the event, understand the pros and cons, and then weigh whether to do it or not.

　　"If the tide is unstoppable, you must think of retreating and avoiding its edge. Our majesty, you have done a good job. Only when you retreat and are safe, can you think about how to change the situation.

　　"Xu Qi'an, the kid, answered me: I know all these things, but I don't care...Oh, vulgar Wufu."

　　 Zheng Xinghuai remembered what Xu Yinluo said in the cave. Knowing that the king of Zhenbei was in great power, but still going to Chuzhou to investigate the case, his rigid and serious face couldn't help but smile more.

　　"Wei Gong can say the word "crude", which just shows that Wei Gong is helpless to him."

　　Zheng Xinghuai understood the meaning of Wei Yuan's words, but like Xu Qi'an, he has a bottom line that he wants to stick to and never shrink.

　　 He went downstairs alone and saw Xu Qi'an waiting downstairs.

　　 "Master Zheng, I will take you back to the inn." Xu Qi'an greeted him.

　　"The official will not return to the post." Zheng Xinghuai shook his head, looking at him with a complicated expression: "Sorry, I disappointed Xu Yinluo."

　　 Xu Qi'an's heart sank.

　　 The two silently exited the yamen, entered the carriage, and drove away as the coachman.

　　 On the way, Zheng Xinghuai described the whole story of today's court, and pointed out that the princes had an ambiguous attitude and quietly changed their positions.

　　 "Wei Gong shouldn't be. When he is in his position, he can really plan what he really wants, instead of violating his conscience and catering to your majesty."

　　 Xu Qi'an frowned deeply, puzzled.

　　 "Wei Gong is difficult." Zheng Xinghuai explained for Wei Yuan, his tone was weak:

　　"There is a difference between monarch and minister. As long as your majesty does not touch the interests of most people, no one is his opponent in the court."

　　 "Think twice about what Wei Gong said...Why don't you think about it, Master Zheng? Take a break for the time being, King Huai is dead, and the people of Chuzhou City have already taken revenge." Xu Qi'an persuaded.

　　 Master Zheng is a good official. He doesn't want such a person to have a bleak ending in the end, just like when he was in Yunzhou, he was alone in blocking the rebels for Governor Zhang.

　　 There are no rebels this time. This time the battle is on the court. It is impossible for Xu Qi'an to rush into the palace with a knife to kill him, so he didn't play a role.

　　 can only persuade Master Zheng to think twice.

　　Zheng Xinghuai looked at him and asked: "Are you willing? Are you willing to watch executioners like King Huai become heroes and enjoy the Taimiao, whose name goes down in history?"

　　 Xu Qi'an did not answer, but Zheng Xinghuai saw unwillingness from the young man's eyes.

　　 so he smiled in relief.

　　"The official is a second-rank chief ambassador, but the official is even more a scholar, a scholar but wants to be ashamed of his heart, to be right about yourself, and even more right to raise your parents."

　　 has nothing to say.

　　 After a long time, the carriage stopped on the side of the street, and Shentu Baili whispered: "My lord, here it is."

　　 Xu Qi'an opened the curtain, and the carriage stopped in front of a very grand courtyard. The plaque on the courtyard gate read: Wenyuan Pavilion.

　　 Cabinet!

　　Zheng Xinghuai jumped out of the carriage and said to the guard at the door: "My official Chuzhou chief ambassador Zheng Xinghuai, please see Wang Shoufu."

　　 Seeing this, Xu Qi'an has already understood Zheng Xinghuai's plan. He wants to be a lobbyist, lobbying the public, and pulling them back into the camp.

　　The guard enters the cabinet to report, and he walks back in stride, and said in a deep voice:

　　"Master Shoufu said that Master Zheng is the chief ambassador of Chuzhou, no matter whether he is on duty or after he is on duty, do not go to him, lest he will be impeached on the grounds of forming a party."

　　 Zheng Xinghuai left disappointed.

　　 The following day, Xu Qi'an watched him run around and lobby, bumping into walls everywhere.........At dusk, he returned to the post station sadly.

　　..........

　　 Xu New Year went back to the house, but he didn’t see his eldest brother. He walked around in the yard, only to hear someone on the roof shouting: "Your eldest brother is here."

　　 That is the sweet voice of a young woman.

　　 looked up, it turned out to be Li Miaozhen, the saint of Heavenly Sect. She stood on the eaves, looking down at herself blankly. Just by looking at her face, she could detect that the other party's emotions were not right.

　　 When Xu Erlang moved up the ladder, he found that Li Miaozhen was no longer there. The eldest brother was holding the grass roots with his hands on the back of his head, lying on the roof ridge with Erlang's legs tilted.

　　 The handsome and inexperienced Xu Xinnian carried the hem of his official gown and climbed the stairs up the roof.

　　 "What did you do when you came up." Xu Qi'an said in a huff: "I left an annoying lady, and you came to quarrel me again."

　　 "Dao Chang Li doesn't seem to be very happy." Xu Erlang's tone was steady, and he sat down beside his eldest brother.

　　 "Of course I am not happy, if she can be strong, she now wants to go to the palace at Mao Shi."

　　 "Why wait until Mao Shi?"

　　 "Because she felt that there were beasts and beasts all over the temple, all should be killed, so she had to wait for Maoshi to go to court and kill a nest." Xu Qi'an had no good air.

　　 Xu Erlang shrank his head when he heard the words: "Fortunately I am just a custard."

　　 Xu Qi'an couldn't help but laugh, after laughing, he sighed again:

　　"Tianzong cultivates too much forgiveness. Maybe, when she really has this strength in the future, she will no longer be the Feiyan Swordswoman of the year. This is life, and the unsatisfactory things are nine out of ten."

　　 "Big Brother seems to have become more calm." Xu Erlang said with satisfaction.

　　 "It's not calm, but a little tired, a little disappointed." Xu Qi'an put his hands on the back of his head, looking at the sky at dusk, muttering:

　　 "Acknowledge a mistake and apologize, is it that difficult?"

　　 Xu Erlang turned his head, glanced at him, then cast his gaze on the blue sky, saying:

　　"I have already known about the imperial court. I came up to tell my eldest brother. Although the court has decided on the Zhenbei King’s Massacre case, it’s already a foregone conclusion that the matter has been raging in Beijing. I want to reverse the situation. , It’s not that simple.

　　"Even if the court forcibly portrays Zhenbei King as a hero, this incident will leave hidden dangers. When people talk about it, they will never forget the massacre of Zhenbei King that shocked them in the first place. This is the future The key to overturning the case."

　　 overturned the case... Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows, and instantly remembered many cases in previous life history.

　　Many innocent loyal ministers and good generals who died unjustly were turned over in the end, and the traitorous ministers who were once famous finally got their due end.

　　The most famous one is Qin Hui.

　　 The bronze statue of the treacherous minister and his wife is still standing in a famous scenic spot, and has been cast aside by posterity.

How much 　　 spurned——Qin Hui’s wife, Kanaoka.

　　Wei Gong asked Zheng Xing to think twice, did he also hold the same thoughts... Master Zheng was dazzled by anger and hatred, and his emotions are inevitably extreme. He may not be able to understand Wei Gong’s meaning, um, tomorrow To remind him.

　　 It's not too late for a gentleman to get revenge for ten years. Since the situation is better than that of people, then bear it down.

　　 My family Erlang really has the capital of the first assistant, and he is not as smart as Wei Gong...Xu Qi'an sat up comfortably and took Xu Erlang's shoulders.

　　 Xu Erlang pushed him in disgust.

　　............

　　 Imperial Palace.

　　In the luxuriously furnished palace, Emperor Yuan Jing leaned on the soft collapse, studied the Taoist scriptures, and asked casually: "What's going on in the cabinet?"

　　The old **** whispered: "Master Shoufu has not seen any guests recently."

　　 Emperor Yuan Jing nodded with satisfaction: "Where is Wei Yuan?"

　　 "After the dynasty was dismissed the day before yesterday, the political envoy Zheng went to call the guard's office. Weigong met, and the two never met again." The old **** told the truth.

　　"Wei Yuan and Wang Shoufu are both dead and smart, but ah, Wei Yuan doesn't even put me in their eyes." Emperor Yuan Jing didn't feel angry, turned a page, looked at it for a while, suddenly his face became cold:

　　"Where is Zheng Xinghuai?"

　　 "Master Zheng has been running around in the past few days, trying to persuade hundreds of officials, but not many people are willing to see him, and the princes are watching. Later, he changed his mind and went to the Imperial College to confuse the students." The **** whispered.

　　 Emperor Yuan Jing smiled, his eyes didn't smile at all, they were cold.

　　...........

　　 On the morning of May 12, eight days have passed since the corpse of the Zhenbei King was transported back to the capital.

　　 Regarding the conviction of King Zhenbei, the court’s announcement has not been posted.

　　 The people of the capital are not in a hurry. As residents at the feet of the emperor, they have even seen a case that has been delayed for several years, and they have also seen a tax reduction or exemption decree, which will begin to circulate a few years ago. It is circulating, and it will probably continue to be passed on.

　　 There is no rush to return, the heat is still there, and the temperature is not reduced.

　　After a meal, the people in the capital will habitually carry out the king of Zhenbei with one brush, two brushes and three brushes...

　　 Early this morning, a group of uninvited guests came to the capital.

　　 Thirty riding horses rushed into the city gate, passed through the outer city, and stopped at the gate of the inner city.

The head of 　　 had a nice face, but he was blinded by one eye, and it was Que Yongxiu, the commander of Chuzhou.

　　 The protector of the country wore a broken armor, his hair was messy, and he looked like a wind and dust.

　　 and his companions are all like this.

　　 At the gate of the city, Que Yongxiu abandoned his horse and entered the city and walked on foot. He took out a blood book from his arms and held it in his palm, shouting:

　　"This father is the commander of the capital of Chuzhou, and the protector of the country, Que Yongxiu, sued Zheng Xinghuai, the chief ambassador of Chuzhou, for colluding with the monsters and killing the king of Zhenbei. He killed 380,000 people in Chuzhou.

　　"Afterwards, Zheng Xinghuai blinded the mission and hunted down his father. In order to cover up the fact of collusion, he framed the king of Zhenbei and slaughtered the city, which was a heinous crime."

　　He walked all the way, talking all the way, attracting people in the city to stop and watch and talk.

　　"Huguo? Is it the Huguo from Chuzhou? The one who helped him in the Zhenbei King Tucheng case?"

　　 "Good to come back, I'm thrown into the net, I'll watch it fast, don't let them run away, let's go to the government office to report."

　　"Don’t worry, listen to him, the chief ambassador Zheng Xinghuai colluded with the monsters, killed the King of North Zhen, and blinded the mission...what the **** is going on?"

　　"Could it be that Chuzhou chief ambassador was the chief culprit who destroyed Chuzhou City?"

　　 The people in the city are used to this kind of reversal case, just like Zhongliang, who is often talked about by a storyteller, was framed and finally reversed.

They are the most familiar with such scenes as 　　.

　　"It must be a fake. Chuzhou City was killed by the Zhenbei King. Have you forgotten? There is Xu Yinluo in the mission. Will Xu Yinluo wrong the good people? If that chief minister is a traitor , Master Xu can't see it?"

　　 "It makes sense."

　　The people around him agree.

　　In the year of the investigation, a series of big cases occurred in Beijing. Every time the organizer was Xu Qi'an. At that time, he gradually became known by the people and became a talker.

　　 After Yunzhou came back, his reputation rose to a higher level, from talking about money to being a martyr. What really exploded was the Buddhism fighting method. After defeating Buddhism, he became a hero in the capital. He was sent to various places along with the mansion of the imperial court and was talked about by the people and people from all over the world.

　　 solidified a huge reputation.

　　The battle between heaven and man consolidates his image and prestige. He exists deep in the minds of ordinary people, as well as in dreams, hearts, and shouts.

　　 Therefore, compared to Que Yongxiu's blood book, the people onlookers are more willing to trust the Chuzhou chief envoy who was brought back by Xu Yinluo.

　　 Soon, Chuzhou all commanded envoys, the protector of the country, Que Yongxiu, returned to Beijing, holding a blood book in his hand, and suing the Chuzhou chief ambassador Zheng Xinghuai along the street, and quickly spread along the crowd.

　　 For a time, the Zhenbei King Tucheng case became more and more confused.

　　...........

　　 After the incident, Que Yongxiu was immediately taken to the palace by the Forbidden Army and met the emperor alone.

　　 Not long after, the emperor called the princes and held a small dynasty meeting in the Imperial Study Room.

　　Emperor Yuan Jing sits behind the book table, with the civil servants on the left and the Xungui clan on the right. Que Yongxiu, kneeling before the case, holding a blood book.

　　"Aiqing, look at this blood book." Emperor Yuan Jing handed the blood book to the old eunuch.

　　 The latter took it respectfully and passed it on to the royal family, and then the civil servants.

　　 Cao Guogong strode out and said indignantly: "Your Majesty, Zheng Xinghuai colluded with the monsters and killed the King of the North of Zhenbei. The crime is so heinous, he should be punish the nine clans."

　　The minister of the Ministry of Religion frowned and went out, "Cao Guogong's remarks are too arbitrary, Zheng Xinghuai colluded with the monsters and killed his whole family?"

　　A county prince retorted: "Who can be sure that Zheng Xinghuai and his family died in Chuzhou?"

　　Tongkaku University scholar Zhao Tingfang was furious, and said sharply:

　　"If Zheng Xinghuai colluded with the monsters, what happened to the mysterious master who killed the Zhenbei King? He was named by his name and said that the Zhenbei King killed the city. The mission saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears."

　　 Cao Guogong sneered: "Who is the mysterious master? You let him come out to testify for Zheng Xinghuai. How can you believe what an evil cultivator with unknown origins said."

　　 Youdu Yushi Liu Hong was furious, "It's the evil repair in your mouth, killing the leader of the barbaric clan. Cao Guogong only promises in front of the barbarians, but he strikes heavily in the court, which is really awesome."

　　 Without waiting for Cao Guogong’s refutation, Zuo Du Yushi Yuan Xiong jumped out to challenge political opponents: "The so-called non-self race must have different hearts, Master Liu, don’t forget your identity."

　　 Liu Hong sneered: "Isn't my race, can you move the sword?"

　　 "Enough!"

　　 Suddenly, Emperor Yuan Jing slapped the table with anger.

　　Guardian Que Yongxiu, upon seeing this, he immediately fell to the ground and cried: "I beg your majesty to be the master for me, for the King of Zhenbei, and for the people of Chuzhou City."

　　 Emperor Yuanjing nodded slowly: "This case is of great importance, and I will naturally investigate it clearly. This matter will be heard by the three divisions. Cao Guogong, you must also participate."

After 　　, he glanced at his companion and said: "Give Cao Guogong a gold medal, and immediately go to the station to capture Zheng Xinghuai, and offenders, cut first and then play."

　　Cao Guogong excitedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty Shengming."

　　.........

　　 After leaving the palace, Wei Yuan hurried to catch up with Wang Shoufu. The two powerful officials walked side by side without riding in a carriage.

This scene of 　　 is a scene before the eyes of all the public. Many years later, the scenery is still worth remembering.

　　 "I persuaded Zheng Xinghuai, but unfortunately it was a bad temper." Wei Yuan's voice was gentle and his face was as usual.

　　"If he was not stricken, he would not have been sent to Saibei by the old Shoufu." Wang Shoufu sneered and said, "What a fool."

　　 I don’t know if I am scolding Zheng Xinghuai or myself.

　　 Wei Yuan said indifferently: "Last time I almost caught Que Yongxiu in the palace and escaped him. The next day we searched the city and we still didn't find it. I knew then that this matter was not to be violated." /

　　 Wang Shoufu said calmly: "It's not a bad thing. The princes can agree with your majesty because the king of the North is dead. Now that Que Yongxiu is back alive, some people will not agree. This is our opportunity."

　　 Wei Yuan shook his head: "It is precisely because Que Yongxiu came back that those people saw the hope of "reversing the case." As long as you cooperate with your Majesty, the case can be settled. Once it is settled, Que Yongxiu is a first-class duke, founding the country After meritorious service, it will be difficult to deal with him again."

　　 was silent for a moment, and the two asked at the same time: "Is he threatening you."

　　..........

　　Post.

　　 There was a cough in the room. Zheng Xinghuai was wearing blue casual clothes, sitting at the table with his right hand flat on the table.

　　A white warlock is giving him his pulse.

　　 After a long time, the white warlock retracted his hand and shook his head:

　　"It’s not a big problem if you get sick from depression. You can take a few medications and cultivate for a few days. However, Master Zheng should relax earlier, otherwise the disease will come to you again."

　　 Chen Xian and his wife were relieved and sighed again.

　　Sickness is a minor disease, not difficult to treat, but it is the heart disease of Master Zheng.

　　 Zheng Xinghuai did not respond to the white-clothed warlock, and arched his hands: "Thank you, doctor."

　　 "Don't look improper." The white warlock of Si Tianjian has a proud personality. As long as he is not oppressed by violence, he has always said something straight:

　　"You are not too old. If you are heartless, you can live a few more years. Otherwise, in three to five years, you will have a serious illness, and at most ten years, I can go to your grave. ."

　　 Chen Xian and his wife are unhappy.

　　Zheng Xinghuai seems to have seen the face of a white warlock. He didn't blame or be angry, but asked: "I heard that Xu Yinluo and Sitianjian are intersecting."

　　 The white-clothed warlock sneered: "I know what your intentions are. Mr. Xu is the nobleman of our Sitian Supervisor. However, if you want to see the supervisor through him, don't think about it. Sitian Supervisor can only ask the court. This is the rule."

　　 Zheng Xinghuai was about to say more, so he heard the white-clothed warlock add: "Xu Yinluo has been to Sitian Supervisor a long time ago. If this road works, you still need to say?"

　　He, he has already been to Sitianjian...Zheng Xinghuai has a complicated expression, and only Xu Yinluo has been running about this matter in the mission that returned to Beijing.

　　 Other people chose to be silent due to the situation.

　　While speaking, hurried footsteps came from downstairs, followed by Zhao Jin's roar: "Which yamen are you, dare to break into the post where Master Zheng lives..."

　　 Zheng Xinghuai and others rushed out of the room, just to see Cao Guogong in a military uniform, brandishing a scabbard and slamming Zhao Jin's face, breaking his half-mouthed teeth.

　　 hit the silver gongs of the people’s yamen, and ran out of the room with a few gongs, shouting: "Stop!"

　　 instructed the gongs to hold down the angry Zhao Jin, the silver gong glared and warned: "This is the forbidden army in the palace."

　　 Zhao Jin's face became stiff.

　　 Yin Gong took a deep breath and said, "Cao Guogong, you are......"

　　Cao Guogong looked at Zheng Xinghuai who rushed out of the room with a cold smile, and said: "According to your majesty's will, capture Zheng Xinghuai back to Dali Temple for questioning. If there is any violator, please kill him."

　　 "What?!"

　　The expressions of Dagengren, Zhao Jin and others changed.

　　 Zheng Xinghuai is not afraid, and has a clear conscience, and said: "What crime did the official commit?"

　　 Cao Guogong was taken aback, his smile changed into playfulness, with mockery: "It seems that Master Zheng did not go out today, um, the commander of Chuzhou, the guardian of the country, Que Yongxiu, has returned to Beijing, and he sued your majesty for colluding with you. , Killed 380,000 people in Zhenbeiwang and Chuzhou City."

　　 Zheng Xinghuai staggered, his face pale.

　　...........

　　Huaiqing Mansion.

　　The head guard knocked on the door of Princess Huaiqing’s study, stepped in, and gave the note in his hand:

　　"Your Majesty, all the information you want is here. Master Zheng has been in jail. In addition, there are many people in the capital who spread the rumors that "Da Zheng is colluding with monsters". It is the people of Cao Guo Gong behind the scenes. Instruct..."

　　Huaiqing unfolded the note while listening, reading it silently.

　　 "The palace knew that the father had a back hand, and Que Yongxiu had already returned to Beijing long ago, lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity. The father ignored the rumors in Beijing just to wait for this moment.

　　 She waved her hand.

　　The chief guard retires.

　　 After the study door was closed, Huaiqing, wearing a plain white dress, walked to the window and quietly looked at the spring scenery outside.

　　 A soft sigh echoed in the study.

　　..........

　　East Palace.

　　 Lin'an carried the skirt and ran, like a cluster of gorgeous flames, with the skirt, waist jade, and ribbon fluttering.

　　Six court ladies chased after her, yelling: Your Majesty slow down, Your Highness slower.

　　 "Brother Prince, Brother Prince..."

　　The sweet voice resounded like a silver bell, floating into the hall from the outside.

　　 The prince was visiting the beautiful palace lady in the bedroom, his face changed a lot when he heard the girl's shout. Climbed out of the bed in a panic, picked up the clothes on the floor, and put them on quickly.

　　 Fortunately, the eunuchs in the East Palace are sensible, knowing that the master is working hard to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family, and forcibly stopped Lin'an from entering the palace, and invited her to the living room.

The prince 　　 went into the living room while tidying up his clothes. When he saw his sister, his face softened and he said gently, "What is so anxious?"

　　 Lin'an frowned her delicate brows, her charming peach blossom eyes flashed with anxiety and concern, and she said repeatedly: "Brother Prince, I heard that Chief Minister Zheng was arrested by someone sent by his father."

　　 The prince was silent for a moment and nodded: "I know."

　　 He has been the prince for so many years, he has the background, and he knows everything about the court.

　　 Lin'an sneakily said: "Father, he, he wants the fellow Zheng, right?"

　　 The prince waved back the **** and the court lady. After only two brothers and sisters remained in the hall, he nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

　　The clever peach-blossom eyes dimmed, Lin'an whispered: "Duke Huai slaughtered the city and killed innocent 38 million people. Why did the emperor want to cover up for him, so he didn't hesitate to blame Master Zheng for this? "

　　 This is about the face of the royal family. There is absolutely no way to give in... The prince wanted to say that, but seeing the girl feel depressed, he sighed and patted her shoulder:

　　 "You are a daughter's house, don't worry about it, isn't it good to learn Huaiqing, you shouldn't go back to the palace."

　　 Lin'an hung her head, like a frustrated little girl.

　　 The prince still loves his sister very much. He pressed her fragrant shoulder and said in a deep voice: "My father likes you because of your sweet mouth, because you never asked about the court, why have you changed now?" /

　　 Lin'an weakly said: "Because Xu Qi'an's position is getting higher and higher..."

　　 The prince's face changed, revealing an angry look: "Did he encourage you to enter the palace?"

　　 "No..." Lin'an squatted his mouth and said aggrieved: "I, I dare not see him, I have no face to see him."

　　 King Huai is her uncle who committed such atrocities in Chuzhou, and both belong to the royal family. How can she completely separate her relationship?

　　's guilt for 300,000 injustices made her feel shameless to see Xu Qi'an.

　　 She even thought to herself that she would never meet again.

　　 "So, you came to me today to ask me to plead with my father, right?" The prince led her to sit down again. Seeing her sister pecked his head, he shook his head and laughed:

　　"Father doesn’t even see you, how can you meet me? Lin'an, there is no right or wrong in the officialdom, only gains and losses. Not to mention whether it’s useful for me to come out. I’m a prince. I have to be with the clan and honor Stand together.

　　 "You are also a daughter's family, no one cares what you do. If you are a prince, you have been out of the throne with the actions of the previous day."

　　 Lin'an said with a sad look: "But, killing so many people always has to pay a price. Otherwise, who still believes in our king's law. I heard Huaiqing say that he killed people for King Huai. It is the Lord Protector.

　　 "He killed so many people, and the father wants to protect him. I am very unhappy."

　　Silly sister, under the dragon chair of the father, there is a sea of ​​blood.

　　 There were many things like this before, and there are many now, and they will continue in the future. No one can change.

　　 Including your favorite Xu Qi'an.

　　 The prince shook his head helplessly.

　　.........

　　 Dali Temple, prison.

　　In early summer, the air in the cell was rancid and unpleasant, mixed with the smell of prisoners urinating and defecation, and the smell of rotten food.

　　 The muffled air makes people sick.

　　 Dali Temple Cheng carried two pots of wine and a pack of beef and went to prison. Slowly came to the cell where Zheng Xinghuai was detained, not shy of the dirty place names, and sat down on Li.

　　 "Master Zheng, this officer is looking for you to drink." Cheng Cheng of Dali smiled.

　　Zheng Xinghuai, with his hands and feet shackled, walked to the fence, looked at Dali Temple Cheng, and said: "Your complexion is not very good."

　　 "What's not good? It's obviously a ruddy complexion and a relaxed body."

　　 Dali Temple Cheng took apart the butter paper and shared it with Zheng Xinghuai. While eating, he suddenly said: "After this matter is over, I will tell my old man to return home."

　　Zheng Xinghuai glanced at him and nodded: "Very good."

　　After eating the meat and drinking wine, Cheng Cheng of Dali Temple got up and said deeply to Zheng Xinghuai: "Thank you, Master Zheng."

　　 He didn't explain, and left by himself.

　　 Thank you for allowing me to find my conscience.

　　 Fang Fu walked out of the dungeon, and Dali Temple Cheng saw a group of people walking towards each other. The two people in the front side by side were Cao Guogong and Huguo Gongque Yongxiu.

　　What are they doing here? As the main person in the case, the Lord Protector must be taken into custody?

　　 Dali Temple Cheng glanced over them and saw the entourage behind them...

　　 "Dali Temple Cheng, let's meet again."

　　Que Yongxiu greeted him with a smile, looked up and down, and said:

　　 "It turned out to be just a sixth-rank official. When my lord was in Chuzhou, he thought you were a magnificent rank, majestic, even my lord would dare to question."

　　Dali Temple Cheng suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing here at Dali Temple."

　　"Of course it is the interrogation of the prisoner." Que Yongxiu smiled mockingly: "According to your majesty, the prisoner Zheng Xinghuai shall be arraigned. During this period, no one is allowed to enter the dungeon. Violators will be punished for the same crime."

　　 After that, the two dukes walked into the dungeon side by side, followed by closing the dungeon door and locking it inside.

　　 They are going to kill people and kill their mouths........ This thought flashed through Dali Temple Cheng's mind, like being struck by lightning.

　　 He instinctively wanted to seek help from the Dali Temple Secretary, but the two dukes dared to come here, which is enough to show that the Dali Temple Secretary knew about this matter and acquiesced.

　　Because the two dukes have received his majesty's instruction.

　　"They want to kill people and kill themselves, and then pretend to commit suicide by pretending to be guilty of committing suicide, in order to inform the world. In this way, the anger towards Duke Huai will be passed on to Zheng Xinghuai.

　　"This is much simpler than overthrowing the previous statement. It is much simpler to force Duke Huai to cleanse the crime, and it is easier to be accepted by the people. Your Majesty, he is not going to try the case at all. He wants to catch Zhu Gong by surprise and let him No choice..."

　　 Dali Temple Cheng walked away quickly, getting faster and faster, and at the end he ran wildly, and rushed to the horse stable of the Yamen.

　　 There is only one thought in his mind: to find Xu Qi'an.

　　Only the smelly stone in this pit can stop Huguo and Cao Guogong, and only he can be angry with the faith in his heart.

　　.............

　　 Cao Guogong covered his mouth and nose, frowned, and walked in the corridor between the dungeons.

　　 "What's this smell, Cao Guogong, you haven't led the soldiers for too long," the one-eyed Que Yongxiu said hesitantly.

　　 "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and leave, and you will change later." Cao Guogong waved his hand.

　　 The two stopped in front of Zheng Xinghuai’s cell, and Que Yongxiu glanced at the hip flask and butter paper on the floor, and uttered, "Master Zheng, you have a good day."

　　 Zheng Xinghuai’s eyes turned red in an instant, and he ran out with shackles, roaring like a lion: "Que Yongxiu, you beast!"

　　Qu Yongxiu was not angry, and said with a smile: "I am a beast, kill all the beasts of your family. Zheng Xinghuai, let you escape by chance that day will cause so many things later. Today, I will send you a family reunion. Go."

　　 Zheng Xinghuai yelled and snarled, his grandson provoked by a spear, his son who was nailed to the ground, his wife and daughter-in-law who were hacked to death by a knife appeared in his mind.

　　 The people of Chuzhou City fell to the ground with arrows, and their lives were like grass mustard.

　　 scenes are vivid and clear, making his soul tremble and wailing.

　　阙 Yongxiu laughed freely, and leaned forward and backward.

　　 Cao Guogong sneered beside, saying:

　　" In the past few days you have jumped up and down, your Majesty has long been unbearable. If it weren't for you, you would have died silently. Zheng Xinghuai, you are still not smart enough. If you can think about what happened in Chuzhou , You should know who you are facing."

　　 Zheng Xinghuai froze abruptly, as if being knocked sap.

　　 A few seconds later, the scholar's body trembled, trembling constantly, trembling constantly.

　　"Why did he do this, why did he do this...Those, those are his people..."

　　 He lowered his head and never looked up again.

　　 The scholar's backbone is broken.

　　Qu Yongxiu snorted: "Thank Guoguo Cao, let you understand that you die."

Said 　　, he stretched out his hand and said with a grinning smile: "Give me Bai Ling, my father will send him up by himself."

　　 An entourage passed Bai Ling, and another entourage opened the prison door.

　　 Yongxiu stepped in, his wrist flicked, and the white silk wrapped around Zheng Xinghuai’s neck, yanked and smiled:

　　"Zheng Xinghuai, the governor of Chuzhou, colluded with demons and slaughtered 380,000 people. After being exposed by the protector, Que Yongxiu, he committed suicide in prison.

　　"Such an ending, is Master Zheng satisfied?"

　　 Zheng Xinghuai was already unable to speak, his eyes were raised, his face flushed, and his tongue was spit out little by little.

　　His struggles ranged from violent to slow, occasionally kicking his legs, and his life passed quickly, like a candle in the wind.

　　 At this moment, life is about to come to an end, and the past life appears in Zheng Xinghuai's mind.

　　 A miserable childhood, a strenuous young man, a lost youth, a selfless middle-aged... At the end of his life, he seemed to have returned to a small mountain village.

　　He ran on the dirt road in the village~IndoMTL.com~ and ran towards home. He has walked this road thousands of times. I don't know why today, so he is extremely anxious.

　　 Bang Bang Bang!

　　 He knocked on the courtyard door anxiously.

　　The gate of the courtyard slowly opened. In the door stood an ordinary woman, weather-beaten, with a gentle smile.

　　 He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had found the harbor in his life, healed all his fatigue, and smiled happily.

　　 "Mother, I'm home..."

　　.........

　　 I don’t know how long it took before a loud noise broke the quiet dungeon.

　　The iron door leading to the dungeon was kicked open violently and hit the opposite wall heavily. Loud noises echoed in the dungeon corridor.

　　 Xu Qi'an rushed into the dungeon with a knife.

　　 Dali Temple Cheng followed him panting. At his age, even though he usually pays attention to maintaining his body, his violent running still burned his lungs.

　　 Dali Temple Cheng chased Xu Qi'an into the corridor and saw him suddenly froze in the doorway of a certain cell.

　　 is frozen there, like a sculpture.

　　 Dali Temple Cheng's heart sank, and he staggered and rushed over because of his strength.

　　In the gloomy cell, on the fence, there is a corpse hanging.

　　 Dali Temple Cheng sat down on the ground, covering his face, tears running down.

　　............
