Lord Liu's death and the strange and familiar way of death of the dead soldiers made Xu Miaoyi change from a murder suspect to a victim who was framed and blamed.

After Xu Miaoyi examined the corpse, she said suspiciously: "Is there something wrong with the real murderer behind this scene?" first forced Lord Nian to commit suicide and frame me in prison, and then assassinated Lord Liu to help me exonerate, the two have diametrically opposite purposes, fighting left and right. ”

Zhu Di said: "Maybe Lord Liu learned the truth from some way, and the real murderer behind the scenes was forced to be helpless, so he had to send a dead soldier to assassinate him." Let you go, and expose the identity of the real murderer behind the scenes, the lesser of two evils. ”

"So, I want to thank Lord Liu, it was his death that cleared my name." Xu Miaoyi looked around and asked, "What about Mao Xiangren?" Why didn't you see him? Could it be that Jinyiwei failed to protect Lord Liu, and he, the commander, lost his official position? ”

Zhu Di said: "Mao Xiang is the most trusted person by his father, and he will not fall so easily." He went to investigate the case, didn't the family of the young man shout injustice in the funeral hall of the Yamen of Tianfu and demand that the murderer be severely punished? Mao Xiang's secret agent inquired about the news, the people in the mourning hall were not complete, and the youngest grandson did not move from Quanzhou to the capital with the Liu family. ”

The family said that this grandchild is studying at the academy in Hangzhou and is preparing for next year's spring exam. But Jinyiwei's people rushed to the academy overnight to visit, but the academy said that Nian Gongzi had been taken home by the servants of the family for the New Year, and Mao Xiang felt that someone was threatening Nian Gongzi's life, forcing Nian Gongzi to cut himself in front of you, and planted the blame for you to protect the lives of his family. ”

When Xu Miaoyi heard this, her fists tightened suddenly, and she said, "It's this disgusting routine again!" Use family affection to force people to comply! It's shameless and vicious! Do you remember Miss Luan, who committed suicide by jumping from the tower in Hanshan Temple in Suzhou? ”

Zhu Di nodded, "She died in front of you, and you alienated me for this." ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "She has been driven crazy, she once said when she painted, 'There are slanders in the world, bully me, insult me, laugh at me, despise me, despise me, hate me, lie to me, how to deal with it?' Just endure him, let him, let him, avoid him, respect him, ignore him, and after ten years, you will look at him! But the mastermind behind the scenes used her brother Luan Hachilang's life to threaten each other, not even a madman, although she was crazy, but still cared about her brother, ten years later, her world is still dark, there is no hope, and even forced to jump off the building to commit suicide. ”

"The murderer behind the scenes is so despicable and shameless, he uses this method again and again to force people to submit, Miss Luan is like this, and so is Nian-Zhu Di, I need you to help me with two things."

Zhu Di said: "Say it." ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "The first is to send Song Xiu'er and Luan Balang in the rouge shop away as soon as possible, leave the capital, the farther away from here, the better, change their household registration and name, and disappear from now on, even if the letters come and go in the future, they are not allowed to use their original names." Second, the lay family of my former adoptive father, Zen Master Daoyan, the Yao family pharmacy in Suzhou City, tried to find a legitimate reason to move the Yao family from Suzhou. ”

"The Yao family has raised me for ten years and has been kind to me, once something happens, I'm afraid I can't sit idly by. Xiu'er and the Yao family are just ordinary people, they don't have the ability to protect themselves, they are my weakness, I want to send them away before the murderers behind the scenes hit them. ”

Zhu Di had never seen the Yao family in Suzhou, but thinking that Song Xiu'er, who was as innocent as a little white rabbit, was indeed powerless to fight the darkness, Zhu Di nodded, "Okay, I will do it, what else?" ”

Xu Miaoyi shook her head, "The other people around me, like Hu Shanwei and Wang Ning, all have status and the ability to protect themselves, and the people behind the scenes dare not touch them." Besides, with my ability, I can't protect too many people. ”

Especially Wang Ning, who is a concubine, is already a royal "son-in-law", who dares to touch him.

In the snow, the corpses are all eyes open, open their mouths into a roar, hands and feet bend back weirdly, from the Northern Expedition battlefield encounter, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi almost always meet in this kind of corpse everywhere, their acquaintance and love are always accompanied by conspiracy and blood.

At this time, Zhu Di's chamberlain Ma Sanbao came quietly, tried not to look at the distorted corpse on the ground, and said: "Your Highness, Miss Xu, Wei Guogong and Second Prince Xu came to pick up Miss Xu and are waiting outside." ”

As soon as Lord Liu died, it was revealed that Nian was threatened because his grandson was kidnapped, and the Nian family, who knew that he had been fooled, withdrew the mourning hall of Yingtianfu Yamen, no longer cried and severely punished the murderer, and instead cooperated with Mao Xiang's Jinyiwei to find his grandson, Xu Miaoyi's suspicion of murder was basically cleared, and Emperor Hongwu released her from prison and could go home for the New Year.

Xu Da and Xu Zengshou were overjoyed and hurried to pick up Miaoyi home.

Who knew that Xu Miaoyi shook her head and said: "Trouble Gonggong Ma to ask them to go home first, I have something important to tell the emperor, and I want to enter the palace to face the saint." ”

Even Zhu Di was surprised, "You want to see my father?" So what's going on? "The emperor didn't just meet you!

Xu Miaoyi said lightly: "In the past few days, I have experienced all kinds of great changes, I squatted in the edict and tried to recall the past, and I vaguely remembered some of the previous things, especially the day when my mother and I were assassinated. ”

Ma Sanbao immediately said: "This is a good thing, these people kill people and poison people, and do all kinds of evil, if Miss Xu can remember the past, it will be of great use to Jinyiwei to solve the case!" ”

Xu Miaoyi smiled lightly: "Yes, there must be no endless road, I changed from Miss Xu to a prisoner overnight, and I remembered the past and the appearance of the real murderer when I was most depressed and helpless." Miss Luan said, after ten years, you look at him, this is quite reasonable, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not come, don't believe it, look up, who does the sky bypass? Hum! ”

On the carriage to the palace, Zhu Di asked, "What do you want to do?" Didn't you say that those people were all masked back then, and they couldn't see any of them clearly? When you see my father, who will you identify as the murderer? ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "Of course it is Zhao Tiande, he did participate in the assassination, and he was the first murderer to die in my hands, and he forced Zhou Kui's name from his mouth in the Northern Expeditionary Army, he was my first step to uncover the truth." ”

Zhu Di had a heart and said: "You are making a big fanfare to face the saint, do you want to turn Zhao Tiande's dead chess into a living chess?" ”

Xu Miaoyi nodded, "Yes, when the time comes, I will ask to speak to the emperor alone, which will inevitably bring panic to the murderer behind the scenes, because the murderer doesn't know who I will name, you must know that being a thief is weak-hearted, let him also taste the taste of panic, he will suspect all the people involved in the assassination that day." ”

Zhu Di said: "But he may also guess that you are bluffing." ”

Xu Miaoyi snorted coldly and said, "This is just a possibility, isn't it?" The murderer behind the scenes has all his hands and eyes, he must be a senior official in the DPRK and the central government, and people in high positions are suspicious, and they can't climb to that position if they are not suspicious, and they have been hidden so far. Therefore, I believe that this meeting will definitely cause him trouble......"

Xu Miaoyi met Emperor Hongwu in Xinuan Pavilion.

There are all kinds of daffodils in the warm pavilion, which are fragrant under the charcoal fire, but Xu Miaoyi can still smell the faint smell of medicinal juice, and Emperor Hongwu must have had another headache.

Xu Miaoyi saluted, and Emperor Hongwu looked at the fold without raising his head, and let her kneel at the bottom of the steps for a long time before raising her hand, "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty." Xu Miaoyi stood up slowly, although her kneeling legs and feet were sore, her posture was straight as loose, and she did not shake.

Emperor Hongwu said: "I heard that you have something important to report? ”

Xu Miaoyi: "Yes." ”

Emperor Hongwu asked, "Why don't you tell Mao Xiang or King Yan?" ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "After so many conspiracies, except for the emperor, the courtiers dare not trust anyone. ”

Emperor Hongwu said, "You all go down. ”

Zhu Di, who brought Xu Miaoyi into the palace, and Huang Yan, who was waiting, and other palace maids all retreated, and in the warm pavilion, Xu Miaoyi and Emperor Hongwu looked at each other.

Emperor Hongwu said: "Say, what do you think of? ”

Xu Miaoyi pretended to think: "The courtiers remembered a snowy night, and the courtiers watched the Xie family all dressed in white, hanging themselves in the ancestral hall, and the word 'injustice' was written in blood on their chests. ”

Emperor Hongwu said coldly: "Do you know that the crime of bullying the king is to be killed?" What you said has no value, who in the Ming Dynasty doesn't know that the Xie family committed suicide in fear of sin, but it was just for the whole corpse. ”

At that time, Emperor Hongwu's order was to behead all the houses, and the whole family should be beheaded, and the heads should be in different places.

Feeling Emperor Hongwu's deep disgust for the Xie family, Xu Miaoyi's pupils shrank suddenly, and then she blinked and calmed down, "The courtier vaguely remembers that she was in a carriage with a fairy-like beautiful woman, and many arrows came over, the coachman died, the woman was seriously injured, and she had to commit suicide with a hairpin for the sake of protecting the courtier's life." The courtier was rescued by a person, and there were many pursuers behind her, and the courtier lay on the shoulder of this person, and saw that the mask of one of the pursuers was loosened, revealing a face, that face was very familiar, and the courtier remembered that the person was one of her father's subordinates, called Zhao Tiande. ”

Emperor Hongwu still didn't believe it, "Zhao Tiande was a fierce general, who died on the way to the Northern Expedition, and I posthumously named him an earl, hereditary replacement." A dead man is just a dead man, and there is no proof of death. What else do you have to say? ”

If you say that you are suspicious, who in the DPRK and China can compare to Zhu Yuanzhang. Xu Miaoyi said: "At that time, the guards hid me in a snow cave, stripped me of my coat and draped it over the scarecrow and fled, leading away the pursuers. Later, these pursuers searched everywhere to find me, and I buried myself in the snow cave and did not dare to move, and heard the pursuers intermittently talking about what to say such as 'account book', 'Zhang Shicheng's hidden treasure', 'private salt', 'collaborating with the enemy', etc. ”

Emperor Hongwu said: "You have read the files of Xie Zaixing's conspiracy against the case, and it is not surprising to know this. Anything else? ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "No, now I only think about this." The latter words were originally her nonsense, after Captain Song replaced her with a scarecrow, she had been running north in the snow and woods, and she had not listened to what the assassins had to say. Now facing Zhu Yuanzhang, an old fox, he said a lot and made many mistakes, so he simply said a few key words vaguely. Anyway, her purpose is just to make the real culprit behind the scenes panic.

Emperor Hongwu said coldly: "Your words are worthless, Xu Miaoyi, you are wasting my time." ”

Emperor Hongwu's contempt for her, his indifference to the death of her mother Xie, and his deep-seated hatred of the Xie family inspired Xu Miaoyi's anger.

Xu Miaoyi slowly raised her head and said, "Oh, then let me tell you something that the emperor may not know." It is the story of some small people like ants in the eyes of the emperor. Miss Luan, the eldest daughter of Luan Feng, used to be a genius girl, after Luan Feng and his wife were killed by Xie Zaixing, she went crazy and was bullied by the clan and took away the family property. ”

"Li Menggeng's son Li Dalang, Li Mengeng is rumored to have been killed by Xie Zaixing as a voter, and his head was dedicated to Zhang Shicheng. Li Dalang farmed in his hometown in the countryside and had to borrow money to survive in flood and famine years. The emperor has always treated the descendants of martyrs well, why is he indifferent to the Luan and Li families? ”

Emperor Hongwu's eyes were cold, "Bold girl!" Do you dare to question me? ”

Xu Miaoyi and the emperor looked at each other, "Xie Zaixing conspired against the case, the emperor has been shaken in his heart, has had doubts, and even had momentary regrets, right?" But the monarch is like a mountain, you will never admit it. 166 Reading Network
