Yongyi Palace.

In the study, Chu Wenjin was also discussing the matter of Qi Meiren Palace* with several staff members around him.

"Qi Meiren* has done a good job, so that the charge of King Yan for collaborating with the enemy and treason has been confirmed, and he is simply committing suicide in fear of crime."

"I really didn't expect that this Qi beauty seems to be a smart person, but she can't hold her breath before she reaches the last one, this death really helps the world."

"But I always feel that this is not like something that Qi Meiren would do, this woman is not like King Yan, her mind is extremely stable, she shouldn't choose *...... at this time"

"yes, I think there's something strange about it......"

……

Everyone expressed their opinions, but only one person was green and green, like a secluded mountain range, so quiet but with a faint and mysterious mist, and he never opened his mouth from beginning to end.

The appearance of a calm and shallow drink quickly attracted the staff sitting around him.

The look of the pair of obviously listening to the opinion still failed to make the man's calm and peaceful aura change, and an extremely ordinary face had a faint expression, which was not indifferent, but a kind of light like water without any dyeing.

It wasn't until Chu Wenjin, who was sitting at the top, also cast an inquiring look at him that Mr. Qingning gently put down the teacup he was carrying in his hand and slowly opened his mouth.

"I'm afraid that Qi Meiren* is fake, and the golden cicada is real."

The gentle voice made Chu Wenjin's expression slightly relaxed, the corners of his lips hooked up a shallow sneer, and the voice he opened was majestic and cold, how could there be a trace of the usual lightness and gentleness.

"This Shizi also thinks so, Qi Meiren's mind is calm and extremely calm, this meeting plan is also our surprise hit her by surprise, Rao is that no matter how much she thinks, she is also isolated, and now suddenly in Lanle Palace*, the biggest possibility is that the golden cicada escapes from the palace, and then tries to overturn the case."

When the staff members heard this, they also felt that it was very reasonable, and they all thought of the same possibility and spoke.

"If Qi Meiren really faked her death, it is very likely that she will go to Zhang Kaifu after escaping from the palace."

"That's right, Shizi, why don't we lay a net of heaven and earth, and once Qi Meiren appears, we will arrest her?"

When Chu Wenjin heard this, he nodded contemplatively, and his affectionate peach blossom eyes were cold and rippling, and he was about to agree, but he heard a smooth and clear voice slowly flow out.

"Shizi doesn't have to arrest Qi Meiren."

"Oh?" Chu Wenjin's plain handsome man seemed to be a little interested: "How do you say this?" ”

Mr. Qingning's calm eyes raised slightly, looked at Chu Wenjin and said: "As long as someone sends a message to Zhang Kaifu, if Qi Meiren really appears, he will finally pretend that he can't stand the forced confession, and confess the mastermind behind the case of King Yan, Qi Meiren, the eagle that was released, will always bring unexpected surprises to the prince." ”

The surrounding staff listened to Mr. Qingning's words, and glanced at each other one by one, their brows were tangled, and their expressions were strange. It's not as much a fright......

Of course, there are also one or two who are faintly aware of Mr. Qingning's true intentions.

Chu Wenjin frowned slightly, looked at Mr. Qingning's eyes and thought about it, a touch of light gradually appeared in the flow of his eyes, and he suddenly understood Mr. Qingning's true intentions in his heart.

The smile spread on his face, and he immediately laughed: "Haha...... Mr. Qingning is a good plan! ”

Everyone looked at Chu Wenjin's happy smile, and gradually touched a little doorway, and one by one, their eyes lit up, and they all arched their hands towards Mr. Qingning's admiration.

"Mr. Qingning is a good plan!"

At dinner time, in a dark cell where death row inmates were held in the prison of the Criminal Department, a servant who delivered food put the food into it, and it turned out to be a food box that should not be in the cell.

The blood-coloured and disheveled prisoners in the cell lay quietly in the grass, as if they had not heard the slightest sound, motionless.

Seeing this, the official standing at the door lowered his voice and left a meaningful word.

"Tomorrow you will go to the guillotine, this is sent by your family, don't say that the uncle has no pity for you."

The officer's words made the prisoner in the cell move, and the face buried in the haystack and pretending to be dead slowly rose, it was a man who was not good-looking, about thirty-five, only Meiyu had a little bloody coldness, and it could be seen at a glance that this person had been on the battlefield, and the knife in his hand had seen a lot of blood.

The man got up slowly, because the movement pulled the pain of the wound all over his body, but it did not make the man's numb expression change in the slightest.

When he opened the food box, there were three delicate side dishes, but the man looked at it for a look, and directly stretched out his hand to stir one side in it, and when he took it back again, there was already an extra note in his hand.

If someone looks for him and confesses to King Ning, he must not be suspicious, otherwise he will ......

Otherwise, it was not written on the note, but the man understood, and the already numb face became more and more cold and numb, only the dead eyes showed a little light.

In his life, he turned his back on arbitrariness and morality, in order to keep the next family safe, that person was really ruthless, he only had a few hours to live, and he had to use up his last bit of value!

I don't know if the imperial city in the dark night is because of the fire that has just started, there is a haze that is difficult to dispel, and it seems that even the moonlight that is bright on weekdays has a little hazy feeling that makes people palpitate.

When the night came, the soldiers guarding the prison of the Criminal Department gradually showed signs of relaxation, dozens of black shadows flashed, and several soldiers guarding the door were wiped by black shadows one by one before they could call for help.

The ghostly and silent figure, and the clean and bloody killing methods, are enough to show that they are shadow guards who have been trained to survive in the dark.

The torches burning at the entrance of the prison jumped, but the depths of the corridor were filled with blood, because the role of Zhang Kaifu's certification had ended, and he would be beheaded at noon tomorrow, so the guards in the prison were not as strict as some time ago, and even a lot of troops had been dismissed.

The leader, with his fierce eyes, gestured to the dark shadows around her, most of them followed her into the cell, and the remaining small part remained at the door to guard in case someone ran out to tell the truth.

"Ah......h

Although there are not many guards in the prison, they are not few, but they are not at the same level as these shadow guards who have undergone rigorous training, and they are quickly solved.

"Master, people are in front."

A black-clothed masked man walked up to the leader and said coldly.

When the leader heard this, he strode towards the prison in front of him, but the figure that was slender and short compared to the person who spoke made it easy to see that it was a woman.

In the cell, the man in a bloody suit had already climbed up and leaned against the wall when there was a sword and sword shadow outside, and when he saw a group of black-clothed masked people pouring in, his originally numb eyes burst out with a touch of surprise.

The tone of his voice was not a feigned horror, but an indifference that was ready for death.

"Who are you?"

The red lips under the leader's scarf were coldly outlined, and the man's eyes were full of ruthlessness and murderous aura, and he didn't hide it, and directly removed the scarf on his face.

A beautiful face as soft as water was exposed to this rotten and stench prison, wasn't it Qi Xiangmei, who should have been on fire in Lanle Palace*.

It's just that the man's official position is not high, so he is stationed outside all the year round, and he has no chance to meet the harem concubines at all, so naturally he didn't recognize Qi Xiangmei.

Qi Xiangmei seemed to have thought of this as well, her red lips smiled softly, but it brought a stream of blood.

"Dare to frame Bengong and Yi'er, how can you just cut off your head."

The man's expression didn't change much, it seemed that he had already been numb, and he just said calmly and plainly: "It turned out to be Qi Meiren." ”

When Qi Xiangmei saw the man's dead appearance, she didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and her voice was more gloomy.

"Don't blame Hongu for not giving you a chance, tell Hongu who you are? Maybe Bengong is in a good mood, and he will leave you a whole corpse, otherwise, Bengong will make it difficult for you to be complete even if you die! ”

Such a murderous and bloody threat, if others had been frightened, the man was unmoved, and still looked indifferent and indifferent, and only said coldly.

"It's all death anyway, you do it, I won't say it."

"Good! Very good! ”

Qi Xiangmei sneered, and before the words fell, the long sword in his hand was swung out, and the silver light of Sen Han flashed away, accompanied by the fall of a broken arm, and the cruelty of blood splashing.

"Ah......h

The screams of pain resounded throughout the cell, making the prisoners in some nearby cells shudder and pretend to be dead, further reducing their sense of existence.

The man's face turned pale, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down one by one, and the whole body lay on the ground and twisted his body in pain.

"This palace will ask you again, to say or not to say?" Qi Xiangmei drank sharply, and the cold and gloomy aura around her body became a little thicker.

Seeing that the man was still biting his lip and not speaking, Qi Xiangmei's calm and calm eyes were full of murderous intentions: "Okay! Don't say yes, then Bengong will have a good time with you, and wait until Bengong cuts off all your limbs, cuts off your ears, gouges out your eyes, pulls out your tongue, and throws you into the mountains to feed the wolves! ”

Qi Xiangmei said, the long sword in his hand waved again, and with the cold silver light flashed was another flying arm and sprayed blood.

"Ah......h

Without the support of his other hand, the man was crawling in the blood-colored grass, his arms were broken, and the blood gushed out, making this rotten and damp dungeon bloody and extremely cold.

Qi Xiangmei did not rush to speak this time, but admired the man's painful and distorted expression for a while, and then raised his sword and swung it, almost when the silver light flashed, the man finally couldn't stand the torture and softened his mouth.

"I said ......"

Rao was like this, Qi Xiangmei did not withdraw the sword, but only slowed down a little strength, leaving a deep wound on the man's thigh.

"Uh-huh......"

The sharp sting became worse and worse, making the man's eyes roll and he almost fainted, if he hadn't been a person in the barracks himself, he would have passed out under such torture.

After the sword in Qi Xiangmei's hand was withdrawn, the blood belonging to the man on the sword body of Na Sen Han continued to roll down, and drop by drop fell from the tip of the sword to the ground, smearing the remnants of flowers on the damp soil.

"You only have one chance, don't lie to this palace."

The man was relieved for a long time before he weakened and said, "Yes...... It's King Ning......"

Qi Xiangmei was not surprised by this answer, she had already guessed about the mastermind behind the scenes, either Chu Wenjin or Chu Wenqing, but she couldn't find evidence and couldn't determine who it was.

But even if the man said so, Qi Xiangmei didn't fully believe it.

"Why should Hongu believe your words?"

"You...... ...... in hand There are so many ...... Person...... You can check ...... I...... That's it...... Not...... Necessary...... Scamming ...... Lie to you......"

Qi Xiangmei saw that the man was out of breath more and less in breath, and knew that it was because of the excessive blood loss that was about to die, and handed a look to the man in black behind him, and the man immediately stepped forward to feed the man a life-saving pill, which relieved the flow of blood and temporarily saved the man's breath.

Qi Xiangmei looked at the man's dying appearance, and her expression was cold and sharp: "It's better to tell those people what you told Bengong again." ”

After Qi Xiangmei finished speaking, she obviously didn't want to waste any more time, and directly ordered the person behind her: "Immediately throw this person to the Imperial Palace of the Imperial Palace, Yan Zang, and make sure he repeats what he just said, quickly!" ”

"Yes."

Now that this case has been decided, Yi'er has been imprisoned in the prison again, with her understanding of Chu Yanlie, it is very likely that she will give Yi'er a glass of poisoned wine in the dead of night, and now the most important thing she needs to do is not to make the truth of the whole matter clear, but to prevent Yi'er's death.

This Zhang Kaifu can't last long, as long as he tells Yan Zang the mastermind behind the scenes, with Yan Zang's fair and strict character, even if there is no definite evidence to prove Zhang Kaifu's confession, Yan Zang will enter the palace overnight, as long as Chu Yanlie hears that there is still a problem at this time, he will definitely not immediately execute Yi'er, then she will have time to overturn the case......

The moonlight became more and more hazy, and when some brothels were still singing and dancing, the Imperial History Mansion was jumping with chickens and dogs, because Yan Zang, who was asleep, was awakened by a cold voice.

"Lord Yan."

Yan Zang never expected that when he opened his eyes, he would see a dangerous black shadow, but fortunately, this black shadow did not seem to be an assassin.

"Zhang Kaifu has something to say."

A cold word finally made Yan Zang notice the open mansion with his arms broken all over the ground, and a touch of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"What's going on?!"

The man in black kicked Zhang Kaifu, which was not a light kick, and immediately woke up the dying Zhang Kaifu a few points.

"King Yan...... Case ...... Be...... Is it wrong...... Table...... Behind...... Abet...... Be...... Peaceful...... King Ning......"

Zhang Kaifu's intermittent voice was very small, Yan Zang almost listened to it close to his mouth, but his face changed greatly after listening, and before he had time to ask for more useful clues, Zhang Kaifu died like this, and the man in black also disappeared without a trace at this moment.

Yan Zang stared at the corpse of Zhang Kaifu for a while, sensing that something was wrong, thinking of King Yan who was locked up in the prison, he was afraid that his life would be in danger at this time.

Thinking of this, Yan Zang didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly found someone to look at the corpse of Zhang Kaifu, asked the housekeeper to quickly prepare the sedan chair, and hurried towards the palace.

And the black shadow hiding in the shadows saw Yan Zang going in the direction of the palace, so he completely left and went back to find Qi Xiangmei to recover his life.

But a few people didn't know that the prison of the Criminal Department, which had been stared at for a long time, had already reached the General's Mansion when Qi Xiangmei led the people to strangle, and at this time, after the man in black left, there was also a black shadow that turned around and headed towards the General's Mansion.

"Master......"

Su Mujun, who had already fallen asleep, heard the sound of Fengye outside the door, and suddenly opened his eyes, and the Qingming in it did not have the slightest confusion of a sleeping person.

Su Mujun casually picked up a coat and put it on, and then said slowly: "Come in." ”

As he spoke, the man got out of bed and lit the candlestick.

After Feng Ye walked in, even if he knew that Su Mujun was wearing clothes, he didn't dare to look at it more, and lowered his head and told the news that his subordinates had just reported.

"Master, there has been a change in the prison of the Criminal Department, Zhang Kaifu has been robbed, looking at the skills of those people, they should all be shadow guards, it can already be determined that Qi Xiangmei did it, Qi Xiangmei cut off Zhang Kaifu's arms, and forced the main envoy behind the scenes, King Ning, and then one person took Zhang Kaifu to the Imperial History Mansion, and then Yan Zang hurriedly entered the palace, and Zhang Kaifu also lost his breath."

When Su Mujun heard this, his moist lips outlined a shallow habitual arc, his fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, and the light at the bottom of his eyes was faint, evil and treacherous.

"King Ning? Heh~" Su Mujun chuckled, and the corners of his lips overflowed with a smile of interest: "This Chu Wenjin is really capable of tossing, he just overthrew King Yan's faction, and he pointed the finger at Chu Wenqing without stopping for a moment, and he was not afraid of being able to eat." ”

Feng Ye's cold and sharp eyes were also rippling with a little cold light, and he said, "What does the master mean?" ”

Su Mujun smiled faintly: "For the time being, don't intervene in it, Chu Wenqing is not Chu Tianyi's spoiled child, Chu Wenjin's means of dealing with King Yan are not leaky, for Chu Wenqing, who knows his actions, he will naturally not let go of the opportunity to find evidence, even if Chu Wenqing does not have any important evidence in his hand, there must be something that makes Chu Wenjin suspicious, and if necessary, he will help Chu Wenqing and let them hurt both halves~"

The smiling words carried an unconcealable evil atmosphere, which was obviously an extremely nice voice, but it made people shudder inexplicably.
