Seeing the silver, the hiding waiter immediately jumped out, holding a lantern in his hand, "Hehe, Xia He, don't forget how much danger I am taking to pass on the news to you, if someone knows about it, I will lose my head!" ”

Xia He didn't want to talk to him too much, so he turned around and left with a straight face.

Peony Building

Xu Linglong waited for Puyang Ningxiang to go to bed, and left the Peony Building unhurriedly.

Along the long nine-curved bridge outside the Peony Tower, Xu Linglong left the Agarwood Hall and walked straight to the Xianghe Palace, where the second princess lived.

At this moment, the night is dark, and the guards patrolling the palace are walking around, and occasionally a small waiter with a palace lamp hurriedly walks by. Xu Linglong didn't carry a lantern, and he already knew the way to the palace of the second princess by heart.

At the beginning, Pang He, the guard of Puyang Ningxiang, recommended the woman named Yan Sanniang to him, but he was short-sighted and didn't know how much benefit Yan Sanniang could bring him, so instead of paying attention to the other party, he repeatedly snubbed the other party.

Fortunately, in the end, he discovered this talent, and instigated Puyang Ningxiang to recommend the person to the second princess. Na Yan Sanniang also has some skills, she didn't embarrass him, and she completed the task successfully the first time she received it.

I believe that after this incident, the second princess will definitely look at him again, as long as she can enter the eyes of the second princess, this noble woman will definitely not be able to escape the palm of his Xu Linglong.

Thinking of this, Xu Linglong showed a confident smile on his face.

When Xu Linglong avoided the guards and came to the Xianghe Palace, the palace people guarding the door told him that the second princess was not in the palace tonight, but went to the Annan palace outside the palace.

"When will His Highness return?" Xu Linglong asked.

The palace man shook his head, "It's so late, I'm afraid I won't come back tonight." ”

Xu Linglong guessed in his heart that something big must have happened, otherwise the second princess would not have rashly stayed in the Annan Palace, and it was not a way for him to stay here, so he could only find a time to come over tomorrow to take a look.

On the other side, inside the palace of Annam.

"Is the news confirmed?" Annan Wang Puyang Jingqin couldn't hide his excitement and asked the people under the hall.

"Back to the prince, the person we sent sent a message that it has been confirmed, and the body has been identified, and it is confirmed that it is Gu Tongye."

"Good! All right! Hahaha...... "The second princess Puyang Bihan, who had been sitting next to her, couldn't help clapping her hands and laughing anymore.

Although King Annan did not stroking his palms and laughing, he could not hide the smile in his eyebrows.

"Today is really a good day, Mu Hu that old thing was poisoned and unconscious, and Gu Tongye's little slut fell off a cliff and died, okay, it's really good!" Puyang Bihan stood up and walked around the room excitedly.

Annan Wang Puyang Jingqin nodded, and reminded again, "Speaking of Mu Hu, your subordinate named Yan Sanniang really has some skills, this person can be reused, but remember not to relax your vigilance against her." Don't expect her to be loyal to you. ”

Knowing that if he wanted to ascend to that position, Puyang Jingqin's support would be indispensable, so although he was very unhappy in his heart, Puyang Bihan still pretended to be teachable and nodded in response, "Aunt Huang, rest assured, Bihan has ordered people to keep an eye on her for twelve hours, and she will definitely not let her spoil our big things." ”

"Now that the two most important obstacles have been removed, is it time for our plan to be implemented?" It was another person who sat in the corner, because the light of the candle was so weak that it was not noticed for a while.

Puyang Bihan looked over there and asked meaningfully, "Lord Lin is in a hurry?" ”

"The hatred of killing women, how not to hurry!" The man gradually raised his head, and he saw a lean, shriveled face, and her gray hair made her age more and more.

Puyang Jingqin, the king of Annan, sighed, "The king of Ling love has also heard about it, people can't be resurrected after death, and Lord Lin should still look forward." As long as Bihan sits on that place, she doesn't have to worry about avenging her. ”

Puyang Bihan also heard what King Annan meant, and nodded and said, "What King Annan said is very true, now that person is dead, the mother emperor has been ill for a long time, as the saying goes, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, no matter how noble the Queen Feng is, she is just a man with a foreign surname, how can she take on the responsibility of the country." Bi Han is not talented, but since she is the eldest princess of Jiuzhao Kingdom, it is impossible for her to give up my Puyang family's country to others! ”

"Lord Lin is the talent of my country's humerus, and I also ask Lord Lin to help His Royal Highness in this matter, he will succeed in the future, and he will not forget the credit of Lord Lin!"

Puyang Bihan knelt down on one knee in front of Lord Lin, his eyes pleading.

"Your Highness doesn't need to make this great gift, as Your Highness said, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, whoever it should belong to, it will naturally be who's." Master Lin said quietly, his sharp gaze looking at the wall behind her through Puyang Bihan's body.

……

Three days later, Jian'an was in turmoil.

Soldiers patrolling the streets were everywhere, countless officials were imprisoned for raiding their homes, and sometimes even in the middle of the night, the sound of howling and crying could be heard, stirring people's hearts.

The street is dotted with stalls, and most of the shops on both sides are closed.

The most important thing is that the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was originally in an endless stream, was closed, and the door was crowded.

"Alas, when will this kind of panicked day come to an end?" A few scholars sat in the teahouse, looking at the desolate scene on the street and couldn't help but sigh.

"I heard that the prime minister's family is under house arrest?" A woman dressed in a scholar's outfit asked quietly.

"Alas," the woman drinking tea beside her sighed helplessly, "Prime Minister Mu Cheng has worked hard for Jiuzhao Kingdom all his life, but he didn't expect to be treated like this when he is old, it's really ...... Alas......"

"Don't sigh all the time, what the hell do you say is going on? Why is there suddenly martial law in the whole city? Someone asked impatiently.

Hearing this, the woman who had been drinking looked around vigilantly, and said in a low voice, "I'm not afraid to sue you, this capital is about to change, I heard that even the master in the palace is under house arrest." ”

"What?" Everyone couldn't stop exclaiming.

Frightened, the woman who spoke hurriedly covered the mouths of her companions and scolded angrily, "You want to die, say so loudly! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention for a while."

The scholars patted their chests with palpitations and continued to whisper, their faces full of worry and disbelief.

Not far from them, two women were drinking, and their faces were not good-looking.

"Sister, what the hell do you say is going on? Could it really be as everyone has rumored, that the master of the Xianghe Palace wants-" The woman gestured, her honest face full of doubts.

"Shut up, these words are also something you and I can discuss!"

The woman across from her glared at her fiercely, as if she was still angry, and drank all the sake on the table in one gulp.

"Hey, isn't this Lord Xing Manlan Xing and Xing Manfeng Xing Catching, the two of you are also eating here?" The woman who had just gone upstairs saw the two sisters in the corner and immediately walked over happily.

"What a coincidence." Xing Manfeng immediately stood up with a smile and greeted him.

Xing Manlan didn't get up and only nodded at the other party, as a waiter of the Criminal Department, her official position was much higher than that of the other party, "Why isn't Wang Zhutou busy today?" ”

As soon as Wang Zhutou mentioned this, he was troubled, waved his hand and sat on the stool, and shouted to the little second sister, "Little second sister, come to the pot of good wine and serve a few side dishes." ”

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute, I'll be here soon." The little second sister responded loudly.

Xing Manfeng handed the other party a pair of chopsticks and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with Wang Zhutou?" But what happened to the Yamen? ”

Wang Zhutou ate a mouthful of peanuts, shook his head and complained, "Don't say it, in this world, it's difficult for people to do it!" ”

"Why did Wang Zhutou say that?" Xing Manfeng poured him a glass of wine and asked curiously.

Wang Zhutou was not polite, drank the glass of water in one gulp, and sighed, "Yesterday there was a person in my prison, and it is a coincidence that that person is the wife of my distant brother-in-law, I heard that he used to be a staff member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now you also know that if Prime Minister Mu has an accident, how can the people in her house get out of it, no, she is in prison."

But now I am annoyed that my distant brother-in-law is going to the prison to see his wife, you say that I am a little fast, how can I have the courage to let him go in to visit the prison! No, they all came to my house, and the family cried and made trouble at me, so I had to run out by myself. ”

Wang Zhutou's face was gloomy, and after speaking, he ate wine one after another.

Xing Manfeng and Xing Manlan glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes, but they didn't expect things to have reached such a strict point.

"Guest, your food and drink are here." The little second sister sent the wine and food, and before leaving, she didn't forget to give a warm advice, "Guest officer, you eat slowly, you can order the little one at any time if you need anything." ”

"Got it, let's go down." Wang Zhutou waved his hand.

The three of them talked for a while, and after Wang Zhutou was full of wine and food, he finally took his leave with a stomach.

"Sister, this matter is not easy now." Xing Manfeng approached Xing Manlan and said.

Xing Manlan nodded, frowned, and said to Xing Manfeng, "Now that the situation in the capital is chaotic, you can't stay here any longer, I think you'd better pack your luggage and go back to Yushan Town tomorrow." ”

Xing Manfeng was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head, "No, what should you do if I leave?" ”

"After all, my official position is not high, and I have always kept a low profile in the DPRK, and I don't have any strong support behind me, so they won't pay attention to me." Xing Manlan said this to Xing Manlan, but in fact, he was also bored for a while, the city gate was on fire, it was difficult not to affect the pond fish!

But as a court official, it is impossible for her to escape under such circumstances, otherwise in the end, no matter which faction succeeds, she Xing Manlan will have no good fruit to eat.

Xing Manfeng scratched the back of his head, suddenly remembered someone, hurriedly grabbed Xing Manlan's sleeve, and lowered his voice, "Sister, do you remember that Miss Gu?" ”

Xing Manlan was stunned when he heard this, and the woman with a beautiful appearance and a perverse personality suddenly appeared in his mind.

"I thought she was not simple at the time, did you say that these things in Kyoto have anything to do with her, I remember that she seemed to say that she was also coming to Jian'an." Xing Manfeng said cautiously.

After Xing Manfeng said this, Xing Manlan really remembered some things, the more she thought about it, the more she felt nervous, she still remembered what happened in Yushan Town at that time, the man named Mu Xiu next to Gu Tongye, and the Qin Hairong who committed suicide, although the case has been solved, but so far she still doesn't know why Qin Hairong killed Lin Yuanshuang, and why he had to commit suicide in the end.
