On the morning of the fourth day of the first lunar month, Liu Yan had just woken up, and before anyone could sit up, Yaoqin hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down directly for Liu Yan: "Your Highness! Your Highness, you have finally woken up! Something has happened! The Huang family is surrounded, and the old lady, the old lady Huang is critical......ly ill! Lord Huang...... Lord Huang has already rushed back...... Something is going to happen!"

"This, when did this happen?" Liu Yan suddenly bounced up from the bed: "Someone is coming! Spread the edict of the palace, the old lady's condition will be seen by the imperial doctor of the princess's mansion, and the palace will personally inquire about it, and no one shall offend the Huang Mansion!"

"Passing on the edict of the palace, the general of the left army division personally took Huang Xu...... Escort Huang Xu to the Chengdu Government Prison, Xiahou Di Lan presides over the trial of Huang Xu's murder of his wife, and the magistrate will be jurified!"

"Go and invite the teacher and Senior Brother Jiang to announce the closure of the palace for three days"

After Liu Yan finished ordering a bunch of things, she dressed neatly and saw Xu Shu with a solemn face in the study.

The heart said that he had just made up his mind to give up the chase last night, and that he would meet you again this morning, which was really a torturous thing. However, with the experience of meeting each other after the last marriage proposal was rejected, and seeing Xu Shu again this time, Liu Yan has been able to control her emotions well.

After greeting the two, Liu Yan first said to Jiang Wan: "Senior Brother Jiang, the burden on your shoulders is the heaviest right now, and the whole Shu Kingdom is paying attention to my assassination this time, I don't know what messy voices will come out in the future, you must not be soft." ”

Jiang Wan couldn't close his door and thank the guests for the past two days, Liu Yan was in a coma for three days and was supposed to be on annual leave, if such a big thing happened, where did he still have the heart to take a holiday, he was waiting for Liu Yan to summon him.

"Your Highness, you, are you really okay? This, how can this Z have a good celebration in the school ......" Jiang Wan had palpitations.

"I'm fine, after this incident, all the remaining people of Hanzhong will be sent to Yizhou, and they will be disposed of by the people, and they will never be allowed to return to the Central Plains. Liu Yan's tone was calm, and Jiang Wan nodded again and again: "My subordinates understand." ”

"Senior brother, in this assassination, the remnants of Hanzhong are just the epidermis, but at the root, they are the opposition of Shu and Wei, you live or die. There are many masters on Cao Thief's side, and the previous Sima Yi, I still started lightly, and I should have publicly crushed him to ashes.

I'm afraid that our trouble this time will come one after another, you have to be mentally prepared, and I will send a few to your house when you go back, and nourish your spirit to deal with them. Liu Yan comforted Jiang Wan, but Jiang Wan's hands and feet were cold, and when Liu Yan's words "you live and die" came out, his heart sank to the bottom. It's a tough level!

Sending Jiang Wan away, facing Xu Shu, Liu Yan lowered her eyelids and looked at the desktop: "Teacher......"

"Your Highness, please speak. ”

"Over the years, the teacher has worked hard. ”

Liu Yan was moved, and Xu Shu only sighed when he heard it. Is it hard? It's really hard. After accepting your apprentice, the four words "exhausted" can be regarded as a thorough understanding.

It's always been you who have made trouble in front of you, completely ignoring the feelings of the people who helped you clean up the mess in the back, what's the matter, do you want to give me a few ginseng and let me make up for it?

"Your Highness is safe, and your subordinates are at ease. ”

Liu Yan smiled bitterly in her heart: teachers and students, bosses and subordinates. You've always been very clear. Well, so be it. My mistakes, I'll change them!

"Please come to the teacher, one is to calm your heart, and the other is that there are always worries in the heart of this palace, I am afraid that this matter is endless, if something happens in Shudi, there will be accidents elsewhere. Huang Xu was imprisoned, the army had a stroke, Jingzhou, the Xun Yu you were talking about...... New Yangzhou ...... The teacher thinks that if the number of diseases is complicated, what should be the solution?"

Liu Yan claimed to be the palace in front of Xu Shu for the first time, and she was determined to completely block the road, and from then on, there was no other thought of the monarch and the master and apprentice.

"......" Xu Shu, who was waiting for Liu Yan to say ginseng, didn't expect to hear this, and was speechless for a while.

It's really no harm if there is no comparison, when Jiang Wan was there just now, her tone was brisk, and her words of appeasement were set up, and she sent ginseng before leaving, why did she come to me and only talk about things?

As everyone knows, Liu Yan made up her mind because of the words "Your Highness is okay, and your subordinates are at ease", not to mention ginseng, I don't want to give you tea.

"Teacher?" Seeing that Xu Shu was speechless, Liu Yan called softly: "What do you think?"

"Your Highness only needs to prepare for the worst, and you will know what the best preparation is. ”

"The worst plan? Huang Zhong is the banner of our army, and if something happens to his son, this banner will fall. On the side of Xinyangzhou, Xun Yu made a plan, our army was defeated, and the remnants of the Sun family took the opportunity to make chaos, and Jiangdong was not attached...... What else?"

“…… These are far away, and there are near......"

"I've announced the closure of the palace for three days, and the ones that are close may come sooner. ”

"So...... All this ...... It's all calculations?"

"......" Liu Yan looked up at the teacher, and saw him looking directly at herself, frowning.

"It's the quickest and most effective way to do it. I have passed half of my life, and I have to hurry up and ask the teacher for forgiveness. ”

She really admitted it, Xu Shu was like being knocked on a stick.

God knows how he felt when he heard that she had been assassinated.

God knows what kind of mood he felt when he saw Huang Xu approaching with her on his back.

God knows how he felt when he took her body and found that the black shawl was dyed crimson. However, all this is just a calculation.

yes, that's exactly what she would do. She had long said that if there would be sacrifices, she only wanted to die a few, but the enemy must die without a place to be buried.

Three days have passed, and none of those who assassinated her in the main hall have survived, and we know nothing where these people came from, who sent them, or how they came in.

The Zhang family, especially Zhang's mother's family, surrounded the Huang Mansion and held a funeral at the gate of the Huang family, but Huang Xu himself was silently "detained" by Zhang's father and grandfather at the gate of the princess's mansion.

If this is really calculated, then who is the party being calculated?

Now she said that she would be closed in the palace for three days, and said that Huang Xu would be imprisoned, and in these three days, she was not afraid that those people would convict Huang Xu and make him taste his life? Even if she didn't want him to taste his life, she would use his hand to pull his father off the horse......

No, Xu Shu thought about it along this line of thought, and immediately found out who Liu Yan was targeting.

However, Zhang Song was the one who led her into Sichuan, and at this time, his family was moved, wasn't it to cross the river and tear down the bridge?

Xu Shu's thoughts were chaotic, and finally stopped at the four words of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge: "Huang Xu's killing of his wife is also a calculation?"

"Originally, Hongu was supposed to kill himself, I don't know why...... I think it's because Senior Brother Pang is too worried. It's a pity that it has affected his family, and if the old man is angry because of this, it will be my sin. ”

"You, you kill yourself...... Then this person ......"

"Teacher, this matter has nothing to do with you, and I don't want you to know. But now that things have gotten bigger, it will take your hands to go through later, so today, this palace will tell you the truth. ”

Liu Yan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip: "Five days later, please ask the teacher to personally lead people to arrest all Zhang Su's family, if there is resistance, no matter how big or small, there will be no mercy! ”

Xu Shu promised: "Subordinates obey orders." ”

"Huang Xu's wife was originally Wu Yi's grandson, and she was also a Taoist priest of the Wudou Rice Sect, and her law name was pure. ”

"......" is another slap in the face, and Xu Shu is already in the clouds.

"That's the whole truth, time is pressing, please make arrangements early. Liu Yan lifted the tea bowl.

Xu Shu immediately got up: "The subordinates retired." ”

Before he could go out, Liu Yan stopped him: "Try not to give Zhang Song a chance to intercede, although I don't care if others say that I cross the river and tear down the bridge." ”

Xu Shu's heart sank, and he left the study in a low voice. When he got to the door, he straightened up and sighed: "Hey, I knew it would be like this, and I still think about what it does, that girl never cares about others...... Hey......"

Xu Shu was sighing to himself, and he was so fooled by the vain's words that he forgot to get angry. Liu Yan smiled bitterly after Xu Shu left: Letting go in the heart is really letting go, and the alienation in the mouth is all fake.

However, this time, it's true, and it's going to be put down anyway.

Late at night on the third day of the palace closure, Liu Yan was dressed in black, masked in black sand, and appeared alone in the Chengdu prison. Huang Xu, who was dressed in prison clothes and wearing leg shackles, was still very alert, and when he saw the man in black outside the prison door, he was startled at first, and then immediately got up and wanted to come over.

Liu Yan didn't care about the veil, raised her hand and made a silent gesture, took out the key to the cell door prepared in advance, and gently unlocked the door lock and entered inside.

Seeing this, Huang Xu hurriedly knelt down, and was helped before he knelt down: "Shh, the movement is too big, carefully alarm others." ”

After that, he looked Huang Xu up and down, and found that he had not been tortured, and couldn't help but let out a sigh: "Xiahou is finally an understanding person, let him judge you, you don't have to suffer from flesh and skin." Rest assured, the pain of these few days in prison will not be in vain, come, sit over there, and I will talk to you in detail. ”

Liu Yan spoke softly, and Huang Xu was stunned the whole time. He never thought that Liu Yan would come, let alone that she would come alone.

In fact, where would he know that the reason why Liu Yan dared to come alone was not because she had any outstanding skills, but because the plainclothes of the princess's mansion had surrounded the entire palace prison, as for the inside, nonsense, the outside was all plainclothes, and of course the guards inside were automatically avoided, and the keys or something, of course, took the initiative to hand them over.

Liu Yan and Huang Xu sat side by side, under them was a stone bed covered with straw mats, and a low table was placed on the stone bed. Liu Yan was glad that she gave Huang Xu a knighthood when she gave her marriage, and asked Xiahoulan to arrange a single room for Huang Xu in the system.

Huang Xu had never tried to be so close to Liu Yan, and he was a little uncomfortable. But considering that she might have to say something that others couldn't hear, she couldn't help but move her body.

Liu Yan didn't care about these details at all, she sat next to Huang Xu, and the first thing she whispered was: "The old lady is fine, I let the imperial doctor of the princess's mansion pass, and they will be stationed in the Huang family in the future." ”

"Thank you. ”

"In two days, Zhang Su will be wiped out, and no one related to that woman will be left, you won't stay here for a long time, and you won't have to build roads after that. ”

“…… Why ......"

"So tomorrow Xiahou will interrogate you again, it doesn't matter what you say. They don't have long to live. ”

“…… Why...... Before......"

"I thought it was me who killed her, and that's why I held a tea party. I didn't expect you to take the lead. ”

"How does she match ......" Huang Xu kept his head down, his eyes staring at Liu Yan's folded hands, although he only saw the sleeves, but Liu Yan understood what he meant.

"It's fine, that's a matter of calculation, so the wound is not deep. ”

"Your Highness, why exactly?"

"Because ......" Liu Yan chuckled: "Hehe, because of what you said, she is not worthy!"

You say she's not worthy of my hands, I don't think she's worth your hands. Although I didn't really kill anyone before her, but the one who died in front of my eyes, whether it was an enemy or a relative, if not 100,000, there were 80,000, I had died myself, and it was nothing to kill, at least at that moment, I didn't feel any psychological fluctuations.

If she dies in your hands, the price will be different, and you will be labeled as a murderer, losing your original identity, status, and job. It will also affect Huang Zhong because of this, leading to a series of follow-up problems.

Although these are all preset plots, after carefully weighing the losses, I feel that it is not worth it, of course, mainly because it will affect Huang Zhong and cause the Huang family to be pulled off the altar.

Liu Yan calculated like this, so she changed her plan. But Huang Xu didn't know this. He heard Liu Yan laugh and say, "She's not worthy." The whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning, his mind was blank, and he completely forgot to react.

Liu Yan knew that he was silent, and didn't care about his silence: "I didn't know you were there, when I found out, she was already dead, hey, I once said to the third uncle that Huang Xiaogongzi never gives people a chance...... This is what I said to myself...... Okay, I'm leaving, you can rest. ”

Liu Yan got up, straightened her clothes, and just wanted to lift her feet and leave. saw Huang Xu suddenly get up and kneel for her, and blurted out the word "Your Highness".

Shocked, Liu Yan almost knelt down for him, hurriedly bent down to support his shoulders, and said in a hurried tone: "Softly! Do you want me to be watched by a group of prisoners?"

Huang Xu was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had lost his temper, and knocked his head down in a kneeling position. Liu Yan hurriedly bent down: "Hurry up, I'm really leaving." Take care!"

After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the cell, closed the door and locked it. Huang Xu waited for her to walk away before getting up and sat down on the stone bed again, still in a trance.

Early the next morning, Liu Yan held a regular meeting, and Liu Yan, dressed in a princess dress, appeared in front of everyone.

Liu Yan waved her hand with a straight face: "That's it, sit down." With this meeting today, this palace wants to know something, and you want to know more, right?"

"The subordinates are terrified!" everyone stood up and bowed in unison. Liu Yan glanced at it, among these people in front of me, I am afraid that there are still people who hope that I will be stabbed to death. I didn't expect that after so long, these people didn't give up.

"Let's talk about what this palace wants to know first, how was the trial of Huang Xu's murder of his wife?" Liu Yan looked at Xiahoulan and got straight to the point.
