Chapter 8: Murder with a Knife (1)

It wasn't until the shrill voice of the inner prison came from outside the carriage that Su Jin opened his eyes, and the phoenix eyes of the Su family logo were dark, and he slowly stepped out of the carriage. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSixteen horsemen under the command of Zhang Ping came out of the palace gate with a bright yellow chariot, and the ministers bowed down to greet each other in turn. In this era, although the courtiers do not need to kneel to see the monarch if they are not in the court, the etiquette is also very strict, and all the ministers are bowing nearly ninety degrees, and their backs are like arched bridges. In the empty Zhaoyangmen Square, only eight people were still standing, and their long blue coats fluttered in the wind.

The emperor's carriage took the lead, and the convoy slowly drove towards the outside of the capital.

"Ah Lan. Back in the car, after Su Lan and Su Jun sat down, Su Jin was no longer silent, only his eyes were like torches, "If you are bullied, what should you do?"

"If you bully back, you are degrading yourself. Su Lan shook her head, "It's better to kill it." Kill a hundred examples, and the results will be immediate. ”

Su Jin smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Everyone in the clan says that you are the head of the sixth family, which really makes some sense. ”

Su Lan just pursed her lips and smiled, shook her head, and said, "The sixth family master is the most powerful family head of the Su family, where can the grandson be able to catch up." ”

"What is the best thing about the Sixth World?" Su Jin looked at Su Lan and said slowly, seeing that Su Lan was silent, he said, "The Sixth Life almost never kills people in person in his life, but all those who contradict him are folded in his hands, and all he uses is to kill people with a knife and use his strength." ”

"Grandpa talks about the ancestors like this. Su Lan smiled slightly, but nodded slowly.

"The people of the Su family, why not be afraid of people talking. Su Jin also smiled, "If there is no point to talk about, how can you sit in this position." ”

"Borrow strength to fight, borrow a knife to kill. Su Jun's voice was a little gloomy, "It's used well, it's really not stained with blood on your hands, and the enemies are scattered." ”

Su Lan's eyes lit up, and she said, "Grandpa wants to use this trick to deal with the Zhang family, who is the sword warrior?"

"The Xuan family. ”

"Hidden. Zheng Yu rode to Su's team and knocked on the window of the carriage.

Su Lan poked her head out of the car, looked at Zheng Yu who was riding on the horse, and said, "What do you want to talk about at this time?" ”

"It doesn't matter. Zheng Yu on horseback, his smile was still open, but his eyes were sparkling and treacherous, "I only saw that Your Majesty was in a bad mood this morning, and asked you to carefully go to the arrangements of the Royal Forest Garden." ”

"Who is sent to arrange the matter first, but is it safe?" When Su Lan heard this, she understood what Zheng Yu meant, and asked as if she had no intention of asking.

It was Li Chenghao and Zhao An who went together, and Song Fan followed. Zheng Yu smiled faintly, "Now Your Majesty is accompanied by the third master, and the crown prince will be one step ahead, probably sooner." ”

"The curfew has just passed this morning, and the East Palace has lifted the grounding, and the governments will know about it. Su Lan smiled slightly, "Donggong Wenhua is crowned with a world, and his bearing is naturally extraordinary." ”

Although Zheng Yu didn't know what she was thinking, he had a tacit understanding with her, and when he saw her say such unrelated words, he knew that something was wrong, so he just kept looking at her.

Su Lan only shook her head, indicating that this was not the right place to speak, so she slammed the window shut and ignored him.

When he arrived at the Imperial Forest Garden, it was already noon, and although Su Lan had been hiding for a long time, he still had to inspect the courtyards to ensure the emperor's safety. When he walked to the emperor's residence, he ran into Xuanxi leading the prince out of the courtyard, which was also the first time Su Lan had seen the prince in this month. His complexion was gentle, but he was haggard, and the noble bright yellow brocade robe in the past seemed a little empty at the moment, only a pair of eyes were bright and scary, and there was a bit of fierceness in his eyes, and he only looked at Su Lan fixedly. Su Lan and Zheng Yu slowly bowed down and greeted him, only to hear his hoarse voice, and only said, "Get up." ”

When the East Palace disappeared from view, Zheng Yu said slowly: "Is this still the prince?"

"He is not a straw bale, but at this moment, he naturally looks much more fierce. Su Lan smiled faintly, "However, after all, he is a person who has been passed down from Wenhua to the world, so naturally he can't be a real beast." ”

At this time, there was a sudden terrible scream in the courtyard, Su Lan and Zheng Yu glanced at each other, and hurriedly entered the emperor's residence, the door of the main hall had been opened, and the emperor's old figure looked abrupt and sad in the center of the main hall, and he could only hear him say loudly: "It's the opposite!

The chamberlains fell to their knees one after another, and heard the emperor say, "What about the imperial doctor!

"Your Majesty. Su Lan said in a loud voice outside the hall, "Minister Su Lan and Zheng Yu, please see." ”

As soon as the emperor gave an order, Su Lan and Zheng Yu entered the main hall, only to see that the dining room of the main hall had already set up a dining table, but there was a small eunuch lying on the ground, and a large pool of blood was winding on his side.

Su Lan was slightly startled, so she stepped forward to investigate, only to see that this little eunuch had died of poisoning! The emperor said loudly: "What about the imperial doctor!"

"The last general is late to escort, I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins. Su Lan and Zheng Yu knelt on the ground abruptly at this moment, glanced at each other, and a trace of calculation flashed in their eyes.

At this moment, the crown prince Nalan Yu had turned back, and entered the hall before Nalan Rui, and behind the two of them was followed by the eight family heads headed by Su Jin and Zhang Ping Xuanxi and others, and He Yi came in at a trot all the way, and after greeting the emperor, he hurriedly came forward to investigate the little eunuch, Su Lan and Zheng Yu got up and stood back behind the heads of the family, Su Lan took the opportunity to glance at Su Jin, only shook his head slightly, and obediently went behind him, without looking at Nalan Rui.

"Your Majesty! This man died of poisoning. He Yi said tremblingly.

"Nonsense, don't I know?" the emperor flicked his robe, already furious, "I ask you, what kind of poison is it!"

He Yi picked up the food on the table one by one, carefully examined it a few times, and then said: "Your Majesty, it is this plate of biluo shrimp, according to this poison, it should be a broken intestine grass." ”

When the emperor heard this, he was furious and said, "What a broken intestine grass, he just wants me to die!"

Hearing this, even the eight family heads had to kneel down in unison and said, "Your Majesty is angry!"

Xuan Ang, the head of the Xuan family, who received Su Jin's eyes, walked a few steps on his knees and said, "The minister thinks this matter is quite strange. Your Majesty has been poisoned at every meal, and if you really want to poison your Majesty with your diet, you can't do it, so who would know that you can't do it? ”

The crown prince, who knelt in front, trembled, and the emperor's gaze fell on his shoulder, as if to see him through.

"The third. The emperor's tone calmed down a little, "You come to check." ”

Nalan Rui looked worried, and slowly bowed down and said, "Yes." ”

"Stand down. As soon as the emperor waved his hand, someone dragged the corpse out, Su Lan hung his head slightly, did not look at the corpse, and only slowly walked out of the main hall.

At some point, fine snowflakes floated in the sky, landed on the shoulders, and immediately melted away. Su Lan stood under the porch, covering her forehead with her hand on her forehead, her expression was gloomy.

"You look for me. A cold voice sounded behind him, although it was a questioning sentence, but it was said firmly and plainly.

Su Lan didn't turn around, still maintaining the posture just now, and said, "Yes." How about a cup of tea?"

"Good. ”

Su Lan walked on the corridor first, and the people behind her only walked slowly with her, and no one spoke, but they didn't look embarrassed. The Imperial Forest Garden covers an extremely wide area, in addition to the palace palace prepared for the emperor, there are also martial arts arenas and military camps, the four guards of Gyeonggi Yulinwei and Jingying are stationed here, only in the past three years, most of the Yulinwei moved to the northwest with Su Lan, and the military camp here is also mostly empty.

At the end of the corridor, after a few twists and turns, they actually entered a small courtyard, and the two slowly entered the small building in the courtyard.

Su Lan pushed open the small window on the second floor, and the cold wind poured in, but the brazier was burning in the room, but she didn't feel cold. As she looked out, it was the martial arts arena, and the royal hunting ground could be seen in the distance, because there were programs held here these days, and the soldiers of the two guards were preparing in the field.

"Who do you think is that horseback?"

"Naturally, it's Zhang Ping. The man didn't look at it, but he lowered his voice.

Su Lan laughed, sat back at the table, stared at the boiling water on the tandoor, and only smiled slightly when she saw the person opposite, and said, "And wait patiently, not everyone has the opportunity to drink the tea I made." ”

After speaking, Su Lan stopped speaking, only turned around and took out a set of celadon tea sets from the Bogu shelf, and slowly brewed tea. Her movements in making tea are elegant and beautiful, and they are extremely casual, probably a few steps less than the routine of kung fu tea, but her expression is extremely focused, as if she is a small teacup that all her efforts have been poured into her hands.

She smiled and picked up the celadon cup, and said with a smile: "Please also ask Xuanlang to taste it." ”

Xuanxi took the celadon cup in her hand, the tea smoke rose in his palm, and he sniffed lightly: "The clouds and smoke on the tea are like mountains and clouds, and Su Lang lives up to the words wind and flow." ”

"Before I was sixteen, I thought that tea and beauty were my life. Su Lan bowed her head slightly, "Therefore, at that time, I could make wine, make tea, and write good poems." However, after the age of sixteen, none of this seemed to be of much use. ”

Xuanxi drank all the tea in the cup, slowly rubbed the still warm celadon cup with his thumb, only smiled slightly, and said: "The tea is very good, the poems are very good, these two are indeed your advantages that everyone knows." ”

Su Lan smiled faintly, ignored him, stood up again, and said, "Maybe one day, you can still drink the wine I brewed myself, and at that time, I will probably have one more advantage." ”

Xuanxi also walked to her side, and looked out the window with her, Zhang Ping on the jujube red horse was just a small dot in his sight, but it was so clear.

Xuan Xi smiled slightly, "You know, the Zhang family and the Xuan family have always stood on one side. ”

"Really?" Su Lan smiled slightly, turned her head to look at Xuan Xi, the face of the person in front of her probably made her a little jealous as a woman.

Xuanxi's eyes were like a cold pool, and his gaze was sharp, "Where is it true, how can it be false." ”

Su Lan smiled when she heard this, and said, "I don't know if Master Xuan has heard that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests." ”

"Oh, the Su family is going to make an offer for me. ”

"Master Xuan, don't tell me you're not going to get rid of this oil bottle. Su Lan laughed out loud again, her eyes were full of teasing, "I'm already helping you." ”
