It seems that he didn't expect Li Yu to agree so easily, and there was a moment of silence in the hall.

King Su and King Rui glanced at each other, King Su put away the surprise on his face in time, and broke the silence in the hall with a smile: "This is very good, very good." ”

Before the angry expression on the face of King Nan could be retracted, he reacted when he heard King Su's words and restrained the murderous aura on his body. It's just that because the emotional change is too great, his face looks a little stiff: "Since the prince of Hengyang has shown sincerity, I will not pursue the previous matter for the time being." ”

Emperor Tiancheng smiled with satisfaction, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to ease again.

At this time, Chang Shun, who was guarding outside the hall, hurriedly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Gonggong Kou is outside the hall, saying that he has something important to see!"

When King Rui heard this, he immediately said, "Could it be that the assassin's matter has progressed?"

The smile on Li Yu's face paused slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to look at He Linwan, but when he raised his head, he looked at Emperor Tiancheng, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Emperor Tiancheng raised his hand, "Let Kou Xian come in." ”

Soon, Kou Xian walked in quickly, with a smile on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, making his originally amiable face a little festive.

"Your Majesty, I'm glad I didn't dishonor! That assassin has been caught!" Kou Xian immediately reported as soon as he entered the hall.

As soon as Kou Xian's words came out, King Rui was the first to applaud, "Okay! Catch it well!" After King Rui finished speaking, he glanced at Li Yu, his eyes were not profound.

Li Yu frowned, but quickly controlled his emotions, and his face did not show obvious emotions.

Emperor Tiancheng was also very satisfied when he heard the news, and asked with a smile: "What about people?

The smile on Kou Xian's face immediately retracted, "The person was caught, but it's ...... It's dead. ”

"Didn't you let you catch it alive?" Emperor Tiancheng's face sank.

Kou Xian looked guilty and blamed himself, "The slave maid wanted to catch him alive, but the thief saw that there was no hope of escaping, so he jumped off the cliff and committed suicide. ”

As soon as Kou Xian's words were finished, the eyes of the people in the hall invariably turned to Li Yu.

At first, when Li Yu heard that the assassin was dead, he glanced at He Linwan without a trace, and when he saw He Linwan's expression as immobile as a mountain, he was also relieved. He hadn't had time to ask Yang Chengying about it in Ning Yi's courtyard, so he didn't know their specific plans, but on the way back to Beijing, he had received information from Hu Yao, so he could roughly guess something.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him at this moment, Li Yu smiled as if he was relieved, and pretended to regret and said: "Grandpa Kou was too careless, he made such an earth-shattering formation to come out to catch an assassin, and in the end, he even made people die without proof." Hey, this man is dead, can't he ask anything?"

Li Yu's tone was really a little underwhelming, which made King Rui, who looked at him unpleasant, glare, but Kou Xian smiled at Li Yu good-naturedly, "Don't worry, the prince of Hengyang, the slave and maid are not finished yet." ”

The smile on the corner of Li Yu's mouth paused again.

Kou Xian turned back to Emperor Tiancheng and reported: "Your Majesty, before the assassin jumped off the cliff, the slave saw that he secretly threw something out, and then the more the slave and maid thought about it, the more wrong it became, so she led people to rummage through the whole mountain, and finally found the thing he threw out, which was actually a copper key. ”

"Key?" "Nanwang Shizi didn't know what to be happy about finding a key.

Kou Xian continued, "The slave maid hired a locksmith to help identify it, and after some verification, she finally found the source of the key—it turned out to be the key to the door of a small mansion in the west of the city. The slave guessed that the house must be an important stronghold for the Assassin and his associates, so she sent someone to check the place inside and out......"

"And then?" King Rui, who was anxious to hear the results, felt that Kou Xian was too verbose, and heard that when he was young, he was born because of the joy of life, and he could also speak well, and he was selected by the chief eunuch to tell the story to the little masters, which only entered the eyes of his father, how many years have passed, and he can't change his old business.

Kou Xian smiled slightly, "Then the slave maid found a secret compartment from the study of the house and searched a lot of things from it. ”

When Emperor Tiancheng heard this, he saw Kou Xian's expression and knew that he had gained a lot this time, and his mood was much better, "What good things, bring them to me to see." ”

Kou Xian turned around and gestured to the outside of the hall, and soon his subordinate Yu Hai came in with a pillow-sized box and handed it to Kou Xian.

"Speaking of which, the hidden compartment of this box is still a rather delicate mechanism, if it weren't for the fact that there happened to be someone who was proficient in the mechanism in the hands of the slave maid, this small box would have been destroyed the moment the secret compartment was opened. Kou Xian took the box and presented it to Emperor Tiancheng, and when he walked in front of Li Yu, he paused, turned his head and asked Li Yu with a smile, "Shizi, do you say it is the will of heaven?"

Kou Xian didn't wait for Li Yu to answer after asking, and walked towards Emperor Tiancheng.

Li Yu didn't speak, his eyes stayed on the box, although there was still no emotion on his face, but the people present could still feel his tension at the moment, and King Su also secretly glanced at the guards guarding the palace, afraid that Li Yu would jump off the wall in a hurry.

The contents of this box must be very important to Li Yu.

Kou Xian put the box on the imperial case, he had already opened the box and checked it beforehand, and he dared to present it after eliminating the danger.

Emperor Tiancheng's finger lightly tapped on the box, as if he glanced at Li Yu thoughtfully.

Li Yu lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Emperor Tiancheng smiled, opened the box and rummaged through it.

Although the person below could not see what was in the box, he could hear the sound of a paper letter or something.

Sure enough, Emperor Tiancheng took out a few letters of paper full of words from it and looked at them carefully. The more he looked at him, the colder his face became, and finally he slapped the book case fiercely, and said angrily: "This group of people is so bold! They know so well about the political affairs in the imperial court, and even the Zhu Criticism on the chapter is clear! Do they want to rebel?"

It turned out that the paper in this box turned out to be intelligence.

"Come, look, tell me what the hell is behind this. Emperor Tiancheng said gloomily as he threw those pieces of paper towards Li Yu.

He seemed to want to throw the paper on Li Yu's face, but unfortunately the paper was too light and thin, although Emperor Tiancheng used a little internal force, Li Yu took a step back slightly and avoided it, and the paper finally fell to the ground.

Li Yu pursed his lips before slowly squatting down, picking up the pieces of paper, and looking down.

"Do you see what's coming?" Emperor Tiancheng asked mockingly.
