At the gate of the palace, Zhao Liangyi and Wang Weihai led a team of personal soldiers who were waiting anxiously, and when they saw the situation, they hurriedly helped him up and said, "Go back to the Hou Mansion!" ”

Yuan Xiu arrived at the gate of the palace, and no longer had the strength to jump high, the palace people saw that it was him, and hurriedly opened the palace gate, he stumbled out, and fell at the gate of the palace with a void under his feet.

The palace people were busy running errands, and there was a mess outside the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Xiu'er?" When Yuan Min walked out quickly, the person had been covered by the heavy snow, and she was far away, she couldn't help but turn around and say, "Hurry up and go out of the palace, let the imperial doctor follow!" ”

No one thought that Yuan Xiu would be seriously injured so far that he would be able to go high and high, and the palace people couldn't help but shout when he got away without checking it.

"Master Hou!"

An He led the palace people in, Yuan Xiu's face was frosty white, and he staggered up after a salute to Bu Xihuan, and was not supported by the palace people, and went out of the heart hall by himself, and left without a handsome seal, and went to the palace outside the palace without saying a word of luck at the door of the palace.

Yuan Min choked, glanced at the medicine in Fan Tong's hand, and raised his hand, "What the emperor said is that since the imperial doctors are waiting in Yongshou Palace, then carry people to Yongshou Palace for treatment." Come! ”

Bu Xihuan smiled even deeper, and said: "The imperial doctor has asked the ancestors to invite them away, but I can't invite them if I want to, I remembered that there is good medicine in the palace, so I gave it to it." ”

Yuan Min laughed angrily: "The emperor saw his ministers at night, and he was injured like this, why didn't he ask the imperial doctor?" ”

Bu Xihuan pursed a smile on his lips, and got up lazily to salute, "I've seen the old ancestor." ”

As soon as the news fell, Yuan Min was supported by An He, and quickly walked into the East Warm Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and when he saw the handsome seal on the ground, his eyes changed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the medicine in Fan Tong's hand again, and his face changed again!

Fan Tong took out a pill from the brocade box, and was just about to give Yuan Xiu a service, when he heard a report from a palace person outside the palace: "The Empress Dowager has arrived-"

"Give the medicine to the town marquis." Bu Xihuan didn't answer the words of Shuai Yin, only to Fan Channel.

Yuan Xiu raised his head and saw Bu Xihuan lazily leaning on the warm couch, the lights and candles of the Nine Dragons Palace were brilliant, the emperor's eyebrows were bleak, and his eyes were like the sea, and it was difficult to fathom the depth. His heart ached so much that he couldn't hold it anymore, so he only said: "I hope Your Majesty will take back the handsome seal!" ”

Bu Xihuan said: "Aiqing is a loyal minister and a good general, you should know that the law is not merciful, don't say that Xiangguo has nothing to do with this case, even if it is related, there is no atonement for his father." ”

Yuan Xiu looked at the medicine, but did not move. He didn't move, Fan Tong didn't move, and the brocade box was handed to him all the time.

Bu Xihuan glanced at Fan Tong, Fan Tong took a brocade box out of his sleeve and sent it to Yuan Xiu, "Aiqing's injury is not light, let's treat the injury first." This medicine was brought from the palace before I entered the palace, and it was a rare medicine to stop bleeding and continue life and strengthen qi. ”

Yuan Xiu was silent, he ordered the blood in his heart, and with his profound skills, he could still kneel here, but with a lot of willpower.

Bu Xihuan still didn't see any waves in his eyes when he heard the words, and this time he didn't even look at the handsome seal, and said lightly: "Why did Aiqing say this?" The case has been clarified this morning, and all the stolen officials involved in the case have been sent to the prison for sentencing, what does it have to do with Xiangguo? ”

"The father of the minister embezzled the pension two taels in the army, and the minister is willing to atone for his father and return the seal of the commander of the Northwest Army!"

"What does Aiqing mean?" Bu Xihuan glanced at the handsome seal, and the waves in his eyes were not happy, but he glanced at the wound in Yuan Xiu's heart.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Bu Xihuan came out wearing a dragon robe, his black hair was not tied, and when he came, Yuan Xiu was already kneeling in the hall, and the brocade bag beside him had been opened, and there was the handsome seal of the Northwest Army, and the five-finger blood mark on the handsome seal was red and hideous.

Yuan Xiu knew the rules for entering the palace, and handed the brocade bag to Li Chaorong, Li Chaorong glanced at the dagger in Yuan Xiu's heart, this dagger was something that could not be brought in to face the saint, but he didn't say anything, only carried the brocade bag and followed Yuan Xiu into the hall. Before entering the temple, he opened the brocade bag to inspect it, and when he saw the contents of it, he was shocked.

Yuan Xiu struggled to get up, Li Chaorong blocked him, and said, "Master Lao handed over this brocade bag to the last general." ”

Fan Tong listened, and returned to the hall without saying a word to pass the word, and came out after a while, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has a will, Xuanzhen Junhou will meet you-"

Yuan Xiu knelt down, smashed a hole in the snow with his knees, and said in a dumb voice: "Yuan Xiu, the marquis of Chenzhen, please see your majesty!" ”

Yuan Xiu arrived outside the palace, and the royal forest guard brushed and drew his sword, the cold light was ten thousand ways, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring. Li Chaorong raised his hand and signaled his guards not to make a move, at this time, the palace door behind him opened, Fan Tong came out with a whisk, knowing that something big happened in the palace tonight, but he didn't even raise his eyelids, and asked expressionlessly: "Lord Hou broke into the palace late at night, is there something important?" ”

The Palace of Nourishing Heart is the holy sleeping palace, and the outside of the palace is guarded by the Imperial Forest Garrison, and Yuan Xiu breaks into it like this, but he is afraid that it will be difficult to escape ten thousand arrows through his heart!

Yuan Xiu arrived at the palace gate, climbed the height and went up to the palace wall, the palace people saw but did not dare to stop, only to know that there was a big incident in the court during the day today, and there was also a big incident in the palace at night. The guards in the palace received the edict of the Empress Dowager that they should not release arrows at Yuan Xiu, but they didn't expect him to go and return, but he didn't go to Yongshou Palace, and behold, that direction was actually the Palace of Nourishing Hearts!

Zhao Liangyi and Wang Weihai saw that the direction was going to the palace, but they were not sure whether he was going to the palace, so they were only anxious to ask people to prepare horses, and chased Yuan Xiu out of the house and went to the long street.

The shouts outside the study were chaotic, but the soldiers acted in an orderly manner, all the way to the palace to find the imperial doctor, all the way to the outer city of King Jin's mansion, and the rest came to help Yuan Xiu, but Yuan Xiu only said nothing, so he jumped up again and went to the palace.

"Quick! Physician! ”

"Who the hurt this? Lao Tzu cut him! ”

"General!"

Yuan Xiu covered his heart with one hand and a brocade cloth bag in the other, he didn't know what was in it, but he saw a dagger in his heart, blood seeping out of his fingers, and his face was whiter than snow.

Zhao Liangyi shouted to catch the assassin, and went to the study with his own soldiers, and when he arrived at the door of the study, he saw Yuan Xiu coming out, and when everyone saw it, their faces changed!

"Hey! Breaking into the Hou Mansion at night? Zhao Liangyi was happy, and rolled up his sleeves, "There are people in this Shengjing City, I know that the young master is uncomfortable, come to play with an assassin?" ”

Just as they were gambling, they suddenly heard the sound of their robes agitating in the wind, and their faces changed, one knocked the window and went out, and the other opened the door to go out, and saw a person passing overhead, and looked in the direction of the study.

Zhao Liangyi and Wang Weihai hadn't slept yet, and the two were throwing dice in the warm pavilion. Although there is a ban on gambling in the army, but now that they are not in the army, and it is not the day to go to the military camp outside the city to train soldiers, the two of them stay in the Hou Mansion on a day and are also bored. A few days ago, there was a big gamble in the Yuchun Building in the twilight, and the two of them couldn't go, but they hooked up the gambling addiction, so they found the dice cup dice to come, touched it, played two, and had a gambling addiction.

The town military marquis's mansion.

An He took the order and left, Yuan Min looked from afar, saw the heavy snow on his face, Yuan Xiu spilled blood all the way and went outside the palace.

"Spread the will of the main palace! No arrows, if anyone hurts Xiu'er, the palace wants him to be buried with him! Yuan Min pulled An He over and shouted.

"There are assassins!" The guards drew their bows one after another, pointing their arrows at the night sky.

"Xiu'er!" Yuan Min stumbled out of the hall, and saw Yuan Slender's long body plunging into the night, which startled the guards in the palace.

An He should be, and before withdrawing, he sent two palace people to clean up the warm couch, so that he could carry Yuan Xiu to lie down. The two palace people entered the warm pavilion, and when An He led the rest of the palace people to exit the hall, Yuan Xiu suddenly brushed Yuan Min away, pointed to the ground on tiptoe, and went out of the hall!

Yuan Min was stunned for a moment, and then remembered some past events, she was concerned about the chaos, and she forgot about these old grievances. Yuan Xiu's heart was bleeding, she didn't have the heart to say anything else, she only said: "Whoever goes, go and invite people into the palace quickly!" ”

An He raised his eyes and glanced at her, bowed his head and said, "Back to the Empress Dowager, if the old slave goes, King Jin will not come." ”

"You go and invite King Jin personally!" Yuan Min said while holding down Yuan Xiu's heart.

"Xuan Imperial Doctor! One more person, go and invite King Jin to come! Without waiting for Yuan Min's orders, An He said to the back palace.

The door of the palace suddenly opened, and An He led the palace mermaid in, and when he saw the situation in the palace, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Yuan Min burst into tears and rushed to hold his heart, "Don't talk anymore!" Come! Come! ”

Yuan Xiu covered his heart, his face was pale, and he said with difficulty: "My aunt treats me like a son, although my father is a minister, he also has the grace of nurturing me, I ...... I can't do it, this life will be repaid for my father, but from now on, I will have no shame to see the soldiers in the army again, and I am no longer worthy of being the commander of the Northwest Army! ”

"Xiu'er!"

Yuan Min opened his eyes suddenly, turned around suddenly, and saw Yuan Xiu kneeling on the ground, with a dagger in his heart, blood stained his robe, and dripping red on the carpet.

Burst!

Yuan Min didn't wait long, only heard a sound behind her, and she also smiled miserably and closed her eyes. But the piercing pain of waiting did not come, but only a muffled grunt behind him.

Yuan Xiu looked at Yuan Min's back, then at the dagger under his feet, suddenly raised his head, and smiled miserably!

Yuan Min turned around and no longer looked at Yuan Xiu, his voice was tired, but he insisted on saying, "You think slowly, my aunt waits slowly." Tonight, the lives of your aunt and your father are in your hands. ”

Yuan Min looked at his angry gaze, looked sorry and helpless, and said softly: "Xiu'er, my aunt is not forcing you to choose one, but forcing you to abandon one." Only when you abandon those feelings can you have a heart like an iron stone, can you overcome obstacles in the world, and can you not taste the regret of abandoning the world and not being able to get back your beloved like your aunt! Auntie's hard work, do you understand! ”

Yuan Xiu raised his head, indescribable.

"If you abandon the latter, you need to pretend that you don't know that your father is greedy for the silver in the army, and the heart of the army will still be yours in the future, as for the young man, since he is your old department, you don't need to care whether she lives or dies."

Yuan Xiu stared at the dagger, his body stiff and unable to move.

"You choose tonight! Do you want to forsake the righteousness of your father and your son, or the righteousness of your comrades? If you abandon the former, you will stab your aunt to death with this dagger tonight, and then go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to stab your father to death, and kill your relatives with righteousness, and the soldiers will swear to follow you to the death. ”

Yuan Min strode over to the warm couch, pulled out a dagger from under the pillow, and threw it in front of Yuan Xiu! The dagger was inlaid with emerald, and the blade was dazzling, and it was thrown at Yuan Xiu's feet, chilling and piercing.

There was a mess on the carpet, and the palace people heard it outside, but no one dared to enter.

"I'm just going to force you!" Yuan Min also brushed his sleeves up, swept the embroidered gold ink sleeves and turned over the tea stove, and said sharply, "Those who have achieved great things, good knowledge and trade-offs, the emperor's family, love and righteousness are not needed, and people like us don't need it!" Otherwise, you will be like the melons and fruits in this tea, ready for others to cook! ”

He just wants to defend the frontier and serve the country, why is it so difficult! It's so hard!

Yuan Xiu laughed, the laughter was heartbreaking, and it sounded very lonely in the cold night of the deep palace, he suddenly got up, staggered, almost knocked over the tea stove, and asked angrily: "Aunt!" Why are you all pushing me! ”

"That's right." Yuan Min admitted it simply, and there was a look of relief between his eyebrows, he still understood these deceptions after all, but he didn't want to think about it on weekdays.

When Yuan Xiu heard this, he didn't say anything for a long time, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he only felt devastating his heart and liver, and the pain was unspeakable, "So this is a good game set up by my aunt and father!" If I don't kill my father, I have given up my comradeship, and my heart has always been what you want at home, if I don't choose, you will force me to choose! Did you calculate anything else? This case was investigated by Yingrui, those courtiers were convicted and sentenced to the law in the future, and these hatreds will not be counted on Yingrui's head, but the silver taels she found out, I can return them to the army, my father's corruption is not substantiated, and the soldiers will still be grateful to me. I abandoned those silver taels at home, but I can choose my home, and then strengthen the army's heart, and can bury some enemies for Yingrui, the day when the sailor is trained, is the time to unload the armor and kill the general? ”

"If this knife is not suspended, you can't make a choice, sooner or later you will have to follow your aunt's old path!" Yuan Min said in a deep voice, with a little frankness between his eyebrows and eyes, and said clearly, "I told your father that this case couldn't be hidden on the day it was cracked in Fengxian, and you won't stop if you can't find out the truth!" Since you can't hide it, you might as well check it, so what's the point of finding out? The Father is the Son, and you will never kill the Father! If you lose the silver taels you have saved over the years, you can make a choice, and the silver will be worth it! ”

“……”

"If this case is not clear, the knife in your heart will not be able to hang!"

"Why?"

Yuan Xiu was incredible, and when he saw Yuan Min's expression fade, he said, "Do you think that my aunt thinks that the young man can't find out the case and wants her to make a fool of herself in the court?" No, my aunt wanted her to find out about the case. ”

"That's what I meant." Yuan Min Dao.

"My nephew doesn't know." This is something he has never figured out.

Yuan Min asked: "Do you know that your father is the mastermind of this case, why did he ask the young man surnamed Zhou to investigate this case?" ”

The pain on Yuan Xiu's face deepened, and he hung his head and was silent.

Yuan Xiu was shocked, and Yuan Min continued: "But this is not enough, you just killed all ten people, and the master of this case made them still alive, and you are ashamed of the soldiers in the army." My aunt asks you, how do you choose? ”

"I don't understand, or I don't want to understand?" Yuan Min shook his head and said bitterly, "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, you want to be loyal to the king, and you want to be loyal to the righteousness of your comrades, and you also want to be filial to the whole family, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world?" You have always followed the rules, but today you said that you can't sentence me to kill, this statement has abandoned the law of the court, and you want to be the righteousness of all comrades! ”

"I don't understand." Yuan Xiu closed his eyes, and he was in pain.

Yuan Min withdrew his gaze from the windowsill and landed on Yuan Xiu, seeing it as if he was back then, his eyes were full of pity, "The world is about to be in trouble, and it is difficult for a frank person to survive in the world, you were born in the Yuan family, even more so." Xiu'er, my aunt was like you back then, she thought about going away to the border and ignoring family affairs, but she couldn't let go of filial piety after all, and she wanted to be clean and frank when she entered the palace, but she lost and hated for life. My aunt really doesn't want to see you follow her old path, you know? ”

"I, Yuan Min, am the best daughter in the world, and I deserve the best son. I have sacrificed my life of freedom and promised the honor of my family, how can I be defeated and have nothing? I was unwilling, so I fought, abandoned the pride and openness in my heart, worked hard, and finally won the honor of today's family. It's a pity that I understood it too late, and I abandoned it too late, and this life will never be changed, or ruined. ”

"My aunt's mistake is that she thinks very highly of herself, thinking that the boy will serve the country, the daughter will serve the family, for the country or for the family, and she must always make a difference to live up to this life. I thought that the man at the highest place in Daxing should be the best man in the world, and he will live up to the old covenant, but I don't know that the covenant is empty, and what is waiting for is the revenge of killing the son, I know that it is ridiculously wrong, and I know that this life is ...... It's ruined after all! ”

"The daughter is not a son in the end, she is not allowed to wear armor and fight Hulu, she can only marry a husband to defend the family. There is no room for women's aspirations in the world, and a woman's life must be locked up in a deep house, let go of her ambition to learn, teach her husband and children, and support her mother's family. Whether a woman in the world marries a wishful husband or a thin child, it is only like this for a lifetime. Spurring horses, pointing swords to the four seas, making achievements, and lasting forever are just dreams. ”

"When my aunt is still in the boudoir, she is not like those boudoir daughters, the town day or plays with flowers and plants, or practices the piano and dance, or learns those needlework and cooking, my aunt doesn't like it, she doesn't like to compete with those young ladies in Beijing, she prefers to go to the school to compete with boys, so it's not happy! Hunting in winter, I had more prey tied to the horse's belly than Jingzi's children, and I was the only one in Shengjing's daughter's family back then! If it is a son, I will definitely go to the border, defend the frontier and defend the country, strive for meritorious service, and strive for a famous general! It's a pity ......"

Yuan Min put the tea cup and looked up, there was a jade bottle on the windowsill behind Yuan Xiu, with a newly cut red plum stick, the plum blossoms were snowing, and there was a ground dragon in the warm pavilion, the snow on the flowers had already melted, and the red plums reflected the snow water, like blood and tears.

Yuan Xiu was stunned.

Hearing Yuan Xiu mention his beloved son, Yuan Min's fingertips holding the tea cup were slightly white, but he said, "No, it's because your temperament is most similar to your aunt's when she was young." ”

Yuan Xiu's eyes were unreceiving, but he replied: "My nephew is the same age as the Nine Emperor Princes, only one year older than him. ”

Yuan Min drank half a cup of tea before raising his head, didn't answer this, and talked about other things again, asking: "Xiu'er, your father has three sons under his knees, do you know why your aunt loves you alone?" ”

Yuan Xiu looked at her with a smile, and saw that she was drinking tea with her head down, as if she was just saying ordinary words, but Yuan Xiu's eyes were full of turbulent waves, and he asked, "What does my aunt mean is that she wants her nephew to kill her father?" ”

"What about your father?" Yuan Min asked.

"My aunt wants my nephew to lynch and kill those ten court officials?" Yuan Xiu's eyes were cold, and he smiled angrily, "If the DPRK and China form a party to exert pressure in this case, and the case is not sentenced, I will kill him!" ”

"'Those who are greedy for the compensation of the officers and men of our army, if they can't be sentenced, I will kill them!' This is the knife in your heart! Yuan Min said suddenly, seeing that Yuan Xiu was stunned, and then said to him, "It's a pity that this knife only shows the blade, and it has not been stained with blood." ”

The knife in my heart?

Yuan Min shook his head, took a sip of tea, looked at the melons and nuts that were being cooked in the hot soup in the tea stove, and smiled deeply, "Aunt is talking about the knife in your heart, not the knife in your hand." ”

"My nephew arrived at Hulu outside the border pass, suppressed the bandits inside, defended the territory and protected the country, invincible, the knife was already stained with blood, and he couldn't wipe it clean, why is it unfavorable?" Yuan Xiu was surprised.

"Auntie, look at the knife in your heart has not been stained with blood, and the blade is not good!"

Yuan Xiu didn't know what he meant.

He said this word for word, Yuan Min listened, his eyes gave birth to some joy, and he said: "The heart is like a war knife, and now your heart can be sharpened into a knife?" ”

At that time, his father and mother were bent on letting him enter the court as an official, but he was unwilling to do so, and his life was depressed, so he left a letter at home and went straight to the border. I didn't know that as soon as I left Beijing, I met my aunt in the Shili Pavilion on the official road. No one saw that he would leave home, but his aunt knew that he would do it, so she went out of the palace to see him off. That day, in the Shili Pavilion, he said goodbye to his aunt in a military uniform, and before leaving, he listened to her words, which was this.

"My aunt said that the court situation is secretive and can't tolerate a man. When I go to the border, when I return, my heart is like a sword! Yuan Xiu recalled.

When you left?

Yuan Min didn't answer, but only asked, "Do you remember what your aunt said when you left?" ”

He asked his father about this, but his father didn't clarify or admit it, he had to ask his aunt, hoping that his aunt could answer, even if it was a knife into his chest, he also hoped that someone in the family could give him an understanding and pleasure!

His aunt loved him like a son, and he wished she didn't know, but he knew that it would be impossible.

"It's not comfortable!" Yuan Xiu sighed coldly, shook his head bitterly, and looked up at Yuan Min for a long time, knowing that asking another word would be the abyss, but the look of hope in his eyes was like a child climbing a single vine on the edge of the cliff, lonely and helpless, and asked, "Dad has been doing this for eight years, can my aunt know?" ”

"This matter involves your father, and you feel uncomfortable?" Yuan Min scooped up a cup of tea, blew lightly, and asked softly.

Yuan Xiu lowered his head, the palace candle shone on his eyebrows, and he jumped low, like a heavy heart, "There is only one major event in the capital today." ”

Yuan Min scooped the tea in the tea stove, the melons and nuts were cooked in the tea, smelling fragrant and pleasant, she scooped slowly with a spoon, and did not raise her eyes, only smiled and asked: "What do you say?" ”

Yuan Xiu sat opposite, respectfully took the teacup, the tea was hot, he put it aside, and asked, "Aunt Xuan nephew came, what is the matter?" ”

The palace people in the warm pavilion all retreated, and there was a low table on the carpet in front of the bed, and the tea was cooked fragrantly. Yuan Min walked slowly to the tea stove, sat down with Hongmei, scooped up the hot tea himself, and waved Yuan Xiu with a smile: "Come and sit with my aunt for a while, drink hot tea, and warm your body." ”

"The old slave obeys." An He lowered his head and smiled, his tone was soft like his daughter, and his face was powdered with white powder and rouge, but he couldn't see his age at all.

At this time, the palace people had already served Yuan Xiu to solve the big gun, An He waved his hand and signaled the palace people to retreat, and Yuan Min said: "You should also retreat." ”

Yuan Min wiped the snow on Yuan Xiu's sideburns with a handkerchief, sighed, shook his head and smiled: "You, you have been on the border for ten years, and you don't have long other skills, but your tongue is clever." ”

"That's my aunt's summons, and my nephew will be back later."

"At this time, the palace door has been locked, and you will comply with the palace rules when you come to the harem to see your aunt?"

"Riding in the palace is not in accordance with the rules."

When Yuan Xiu came, heavy snow fell on the hood of the ink fox, and Yuan Min sighed, as if he had known that this would be the case. She got off the house, the night in the deep palace was cold, the palace candles were faint, the woman had a little pity between her eyebrows, took the towel handed by the palace people, carefully helped Yuan Xiu wipe the snow on the peak of her eyebrows, and sighed: "You kid is stubborn, you don't take a chariot, you have to come in the snow." ”

In the East Warm Pavilion of Yongshou Palace, Yuan Min leaned on the warm couch, with an ink skirt and a high updo, not decorated with hairpins, and no Cui Pei, but as luxurious as a peony.

An He was not surprised, raised his hand and let the little eunuch who was driving the chariot retreat, turned around and followed Yuan Xiu to the harem. Before the unitary time passed, the sky was as dark as ink, the palace lamp was gorgeous, the big eunuch turned around, and the rain flower palace brocade swept out the azure color on the snowy palace bricks, and the rouge smoked in the corners of the eyes was as bright as the palace lamp.

"Not necessarily!" Yuan Xiu said and strode towards the Yongshou Palace.

This palace person is the big eunuch next to the Empress Dowager, An He, the head of Shengjing Palace.

There is a chariot in the palace gate, as soon as Yuan Xiu enters the palace gate, the palace man who passed the decree said: "Hou Ye, the snow is big today, and it is still far away from Yongshou Palace. ”

The palace gate was locked at three o'clock, and Yuan Xiu entered the palace at two o'clock.

"Xiangye, Hou Ye, someone from the palace passed the word, and the Empress Dowager announced that the Hou Ye entered the palace to speak."

When Yuan Xiu heard this, his heart suddenly burned with anger, and his eyes were full of pain, but before he could speak, the voice of the housekeeper Tao Bo came from outside the study.

Yuan Xiangguo came in from the front yard, and the collar of the ink mink coat was still stained with snow flakes, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be covered with frost, and asked with a sneer: "What?" You still have to kill your father! ”

Yuan Xiangguo returned home from the court in the evening and entered the study, and before he changed his clothes, Yuan Xiu asked, "Does Dad have something to say to his son?" ”

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yuan Xiu didn't come back for some days, and as soon as he came back this day, he went to the study.

The snow fell until the evening, the imperial city was still there, but the court and the middle of the court changed, ten court officials were taken into custody and imprisoned in the prison, ten mansions were sealed, and even the other courtyards and Zhuangzi outside the city were also sealed. In the heavy snow, the women who were kicked out of the house were crying and crying, and the mother-in-law hurriedly went to the inn to find a house and went to the outer city to rent a house.

On this day, there was a heavy snowfall in Shengjing, and the sky was as heavy as black clouds and rocks, as if it was about to overturn this magnificent imperial city.

Yuan Xiu was slightly stunned, she didn't allow him to shoot her when she was in the army, and when she patted her, she was like a caterpillar, and now she slapped him upside down. He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, he only nodded, and walked out of the Xingcao Yamen without saying a word.

Twilight sighed, she wasn't good at comforting people, and as soon as she was asked to speak softly, she felt awkward. remembered that when she was in the Northwest Military Camp, Yuan Xiu didn't know that she was a daughter, and she always liked to pat her on the shoulder, so she also raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder twice, which was considered comfort.

This case is undoubtedly Yuan Xiu's most hurt, but he is the commander of the Northwest Army, and the case has been investigated so far, and she still has to return the facts of the case, but she doesn't know how to comfort him.

She checked the Shengchang Money Village, this money bank was opened in the outer city eight years ago, and it was a business with a business name, and it was not well known, but the year when the money village was opened was very suspicious, obviously it was specially opened for the purpose of storing the pension silver taels, and the shopkeeper of the money village She had ordered someone to watch it, but all these years Hu Wenru was connected with him, and Yuan Xiangguo never showed up, which was simply a way out and a scapegoat when he did this.

"Yuan Xiu." Twilight called Yuan Xiu, and when he turned around, she had already pulled him behind the door, and said in a low voice, "Who is the person behind this case, you must know in your heart, he is scheming and very careful, and he has never personally touched this case all these years, so I have not found any evidence." ”

Twilight then followed, and saw Yuan Xiu standing at the door of the Torture Cao Ya, the wind pulling the man's hair, looking like splashing ink from afar, solemn and solemn.

The long wind rose, the streets were slaughtered, and the courtiers who were escorted out were all stripped of their court clothes, locked in shackles, and put into prison cages, shouting and scolding endlessly. Yuan Xiu came out of the torture cao, looked up at the sky, and saw the black clouds rolling in the sky, pressing the city, the first month of winter, and the blizzard was coming.
