Zi Yao said as she rolled up the drawn scroll, stuffed it into her sleeve, and turned to say goodbye.

Murong Xu didn't hold back too much, after all, it was getting late, and his father didn't know the news that he had recovered, so when he saw Ziyao walking away, he hurriedly asked Pang Long to go to the front yard to communicate.

General Murong, the old Duke of Qingguo, who knew the news, rushed over quickly, and when Murong Xu saw it, he hurriedly went out of the door and hugged his fists to salute, "The child's unfilial piety has worried his father, and he should have gone over to greet you just now!"

The old general waved his sleeves, "Don't talk about those red tapes, I'm a rough person who doesn't understand those politeness, I just know that my son's leg disease has been cured."

By the way, who treated you, why don't I know?"

Murong Xu smiled, pointed to Xiyuan and said, "The master learned the news and sent the seventeenth junior sister who studied with the master to detoxify the child, but she is tired and resting in Xiyuan." ”

The old general patted his leg, "In the future, I will thank your master and sister, since your seventeenth junior sister is resting, it is inconvenient to disturb, anyway, I live in our house, and I will thank you for my good life in the future." ”

Murong Xu nodded, waved his hand and retreated, and whispered the analysis of the assassination last night and him and Zi Yao to the old general Murong in detail, and heard that the old general rubbed his beard and paced back and forth in the room.

After a pause, "The stakes are very high at this time, I will go to the morning court with you early tomorrow morning, and those old things in the military department will give me a few thin noodles, as long as they don't make things difficult for you, you can make these things clear to the Holy Admiral one by one."

It seems that the border of Nanyi is not as peaceful as we imagined, and there is a danger of soldiers coming to the city at any time!"

Murong Xu nodded, dined with his father again, and chatted a lot about the dynamics of the surrounding countries, which made Murong Xu feel even more that although the surrounding areas of the Northern Wei Dynasty seemed to be calm, they were full of crises, and the relations with the surrounding four countries were all in jeopardy.

Such a situation, although it seemed normal, made Murong Xu smell a smell of conspiracy, as if everything was controlled by a big hand.

Shake your head and don't think about it anymore, and quickly collapse and sleep.

***

The next day, before dawn, Pang Long was already holding a scroll wrapped in cloth and standing in front of Murong Xu.

At a glance, he knew that this was the Nanyi regional chronicle that Zi Yao had old, Murong Xu tidied up his official robe, took the scroll and walked towards the door, and went to the court with the Duke of Qingguo.

Zi Yao stood at the window and watched the two of them disappear at the intersection, [Qibao, can the palace investigate clearly?]

Qi Bao nodded, [I found that there was a secret room in the emperor's dormitory, and there seemed to be a person locked up there, although I couldn't see this person, but my divine sense could sense that the emperor himself must go in once a day, and every time he came out, he had to ponder for a long time.

As for the eight kings, they did live in the palace, and every day except for the last dynasty, they studied those regional chronicles, as if they wanted to find something in them. 】

Zi Yao raised her eyebrows, [Is the emperor imprisoned a man or a woman?]

Qibao thought for a moment, [It seems to be a man, I heard that emperor once shouted, how long do you want to hide it, don't you want your children and wives?]

Zi Yao squinted her eyes, [Children and wives, how can you say that they are so like the Eight Kings? By the way, are there any situations where the Eight Kings and the Emperor do not need to be served. 】

Qibao recalled seriously, [Yes, it's all the same, especially when the eight kings return to the palace, they stay alone, and they don't need anyone to serve, and as for the emperor, most of them live alone in their own bedrooms, and rarely go to any concubine to spend the night.

How did the master guess the habit of the emperor and the eight kings?]

Zi Yao stretched out her hand to stop Qi Bao's questioning, her constant analysis, being in power but not doing anything, not worrying about the border crisis, and not being interested in the government and the palace concubine, these characteristics made Zi Yao think of Ling'er, could it be that this emperor has also been replaced?

There is also the eight kings, their children are ignored and handed over to an aunt, such a style and way of dealing with the world, which is even more suspicious, according to the mother-in-law around the eighth princess, the eight princesses did not have a round house with the eight kings, so this eight kings are not living like eunuchs.

All the doubts are even more puzzling and confusing after the investigation, Zi Yao has never encountered such a thing, maybe because she has no memory in this life!

Zi Yao no longer thinks about opening the road and building a bridge in the mountains and water, and there is no point in thinking too much, [Qibao, keep an eye on the palace, and take advantage of the early dynasty to investigate carefully, and see if you can know who is being detained in that secret room?

If I can't find out, I'll go and investigate tonight. 】

[Master, the armament around the emperor's dormitory is extremely careful, and I also use my divine sense to investigate, I'll try again later.] 】

***

Shangshu and Shilang of the military department in the court were slightly shocked when they saw Murong Xu's court, and the Qingguo Gong behind him was not angry and arrogant, so that many of them swallowed back the words that they wanted to obstruct Murong Xu's performance.

As soon as the hour came, with the passage of the inner servant, the emperor walked quickly to the Jinluan Palace, and the Duke of Qingguo Xu had not been in the court for a long time, and the emperor was slightly stunned, and his brows frowned.

The emperor is still the same emperor, but why don't you see old age, as if you have taken the elixir, it is still the same as many years ago, for people of this age, this is almost impossible.

Suppress the doubts in your heart, today is just to back up Murong Xu, to deter everyone in the military department, don't make trouble, don't make trouble, and gradually suppress the doubts in your heart.

After reporting a few things, the emperor spoke, "Who else has something to report?"

Murong Xu walked quickly to the middle position, held the wat board high, and said loudly: "The commander of the southern realm of the minister has something to do with Murong Xu. ”

The emperor glanced sideways slightly, waved his hand, "Get up and talk back!"

"Your Majesty, Emperor. ”

Murong Xu untied the burden on his back, gently opened it and took out the scroll inside and unfolded it in the court, and carefully told all the things about the assassination, corpses, and Nanyi Li people that happened in the downtown of the capital last night, and also carefully described the location and geographical factors of what happened on this map.

The officials of the Criminal Department also stood up to testify to Murong Xu, those corpses were pretended to be newly examined, all the corpses had been dead for at least more than a month, and all the corpses had no internal organs, there were hollows in many places on the corpses, and the abdomen seemed to have been stuffed with drugs and charms.

After listening to Murong Xu's words, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu and the emperor all fell into deep thought, and the emperor looked at everyone and asked, "What do you Aiqing think?"

After receiving a hint from Shang Shu, the squire of the military department got up and raised the wat board, "Your Majesty, such an incident is too appalling to be judged because of Murong Xu's words, because of his own personal vendetta to raise troops to Nanyi, after all, if he raises troops with Nanyi, it will be a lot of pressure on my other borders of Northern Wei." ”

Although the words are hard to hear, the judgment is still in the hearts of everyone present, and fighting a war is an act of labor and money, and this opposition voice is more convincing when it comes out of the mouth of the squire of the military department.
