Xiong Cang's heart was on fire, but there was nowhere to go, so he followed Xin Zhongqiao out, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Xin Zhongqiao saw that there was no one left and right, so he sighed and said: "I am deeply sympathetic to what happened to James, but the emperor wants to favor those two, and if James insists on seeking justice, won't it make the emperor unable to step down." ”

Xiong Cang was taken aback, "Why did the Taiwei say this, why did the emperor favor those two?"

Xin Zhongqiao looked at him in surprise: "You really don't know who that Yao Xi is?"

Xiong Cang thought about it seriously, "I feel a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've heard it." ”

"The only female apprentice this year was recommended by Shoufu to enter Yangshan Academy. Xin Zhongqiao reminded.

Xiong Cang was stunned, and after a while, he suddenly said: "I ----- remember, this girl was recommended by Shoufu to enter Yangshan Academy, so the emperor ---- because of Shoufu's face, so he didn't directly behead those two?"

Xin Zhongqiao bowed slightly, "So if you want to avenge Ling Lang, shouting at the emperor will only make the emperor embarrassed, and the emperor is embarrassed, how can you seek justice?"

Xiong Cang seemed to be suddenly awakened, and arched his hand: "Thank you for your advice." ”

Xin Zhongqiao smiled and returned the salute: "You're polite, you're polite." The two went their separate ways.

On the way back, the entourage couldn't help but praise beside him: "My lord is wise, in this way, it not only increases the gap between Shoufu and James, but also deepens James's hatred for those two apprentices. ”

Xin Zhongqiao said with a smile: "Let's go and add fuel to the fire tonight, and take advantage of the chaos to solve those four people, so as not to cause trouble." ”

The retinue should be respectful: "The little one understands." ”

The air in the imperial study condensed, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were accompanying him on the left and right had already retreated, and only Liu De was waiting with him, but at this time, he was also standing in the corner as an invisible person.

"I have promised to get rid of Xiong Cang in three days, so why should I let her be injured. The young boy's tone was full of forbearance, and although he was facing the Ninety-Five, he did not have any timidity or weakness.

Zhuang Yan's eyelids raised slightly, "She is a chess piece in my game, I naturally have the right to use her, if a chess piece is useless, what do I want her to do?"

"Then don't use her, you want a chess piece, I'm enough alone. The boy said coldly.

Zhuang Yan was a little unhappy on his face, he was still the emperor in the end, and it was difficult to be angry in his heart when he was questioned like this, but the person in front of him was different from others.

He took a deep breath and said in a soothing tone: "Changwen, you and I have known each other since childhood, I treat you closer than my brothers and sisters, you are not my pawn, you are my right-hand man, I am my friend, no one can miss you without me." ”

The young man in the hall was silent, and only said lightly for a long time: "In three days, I will take Xiong Cangxiang's head, and I also ask the emperor to promise to let her go."

She is just a little girl, and she is not of any great use to the emperor, I can help the emperor get everything, but please let the emperor ------ her finish three years of study with peace of mind. ”

Zhuang Yan's anger that he could easily endure rose again: "Changwen really doesn't understand my intentions? If I don't let that old fox show his tail, he will always stand still, how can I implement the next plan?"

Long text, you seem to be cold-blooded and ruthless, but in fact you are still too merciful, you must know that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself. Besides, there are so many women in the world, you don't have to mistake yourself because of one woman. ”

In the last sentence, three points of admonition and seven points of warning, the young man bowed his hand expressionlessly: "The minister retires." ”

Zhuang Yan watched the young man leave, his gloomy face gradually put down, and he was silent for a long time before leaning back in his chair and asking, "How is she?"

The foal boy came out of the darkness: "I was stabbed three times in the abdomen, and now I am still unconscious, and the situation is very bad." ”

The hall was quiet, and the boy didn't dare to look up, and after a long while, he heard Zhuang Yan hum in a slightly trance, "Got it, retreat." ”

The foal boy nodded yes, and retreated into the darkness.

Hurriedly out of the palace gate from the small road, Wei Zafang dared to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he sighed: "It is said that the emperor is ruthless, young master, if Miss Yao knows that all this is designed, I am afraid she will not be able to stand it." ”

Qiu Ji clenched his fists and said nothing with a calm face.

Wei Za knew that he was not feeling good in his heart, so he was relieved again: "Young master, don't blame yourself, no one can guess the emperor's thoughts? Who would have expected that he would fall in love with Miss Yao at the beginning, weren't you also caught off guard at that time."

Now this Xiong Cang is a thorn in the emperor's side, since you have promised to solve this person, presumably the emperor will not embarrass Miss Yao. ”

Qiu Ji continued to walk forward with his head stuffed, his mind was full of Yao Xi he saw yesterday, she was obviously helpless, but she still hurt her. At this moment, he wanted to fly over immediately, but he was really afraid in his heart, he didn't dare to see her.

Wei Za knows his young master's temper, which is stuffy in his heart if he suffers any grievances and suffering, but if he goes on like this, sooner or later he will have to hold back his fault, and once a person blames himself, it is like drilling the tip of the horns of a bull, and he can't get around it.

"Young master, this matter is not something you can control, if you want to say it in a small way, it is all the emperor's fault------"

Before he could speak, Qiu Ji turned his head and glared at him fiercely, Wei Za was frightened and immediately didn't dare to speak.

But after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but say: "The little one is right, the emperor obviously agreed to the young master last afternoon, but at night he asked Liao Weizhang to deliberately set a trap in the prison, this is not a backshit, and the golden mouth is opened-----"

The more Wei Za spoke, the quieter he became, and he muttered before he stopped.

"Don't say that again. Qiu Ji finally said lightly.

Wei Za hurriedly sighed: "The little one knows, and the little one will only be so open-mouthed in front of the young master----- young master, do you want to go to Jingzhao Mansion, Miss Yao is still in prison this time." ”

Although he was assassinated, he was still charged with murder, and Yao Xi and Qiu Zhan were still in prison.

Qiu Ji clenched his fists and didn't speak, but the direction of the brisk walk had already told Wei Za.

Liao Weizhang went straight to the yamen after going down to the court, and caught two assassins last night, although he knew who sent these two people, but if he didn't let them open his mouth, everything would be in vain, and Yao Yan's suffering would be even more vain.

"Bring someone to me. Liao Weizhang went straight to the cell when he entered the yamen, and as soon as he entered the door, he ordered the officials, and he went to the torture room first.

The two Assassins were taken into the torture chamber in a bleak appearance, with half of their necks stained red with blood.

Liao Weizhang looked at the ears of the two of them, and couldn't help but feel palpitations, although this Yao Xi is just a little girl, it is also scary to start hating.

Thinking that she was also responsible for being injured, Liao Weizhang sighed helplessly, what can he do, he is not acting on orders.

The next torture was as difficult as he expected, the two knew that once they opened their mouths, they would die, and they knew that Liao Weizhang would definitely let them testify alive, so they didn't say anything, and refused to reveal a word no matter how they tortured, and the angry Liao Weizhang couldn't wait to kill the two directly.

"My lord, Shoufu's eldest son, Qiu Ji, wants to see you outside. The official suddenly came to report.

Liao Weizhang stroked his sore forehead, gritted his teeth and said, "Keep beating me until they say it." With that, he got up and walked out.
