In Huo Xiang's mansion, Tong Yuan sat next to Huo Pei'an and said unwillingly: "Lord Huo, now the news of your assassination of King Rui is in an uproar!" Don't you do nothing, my lord? Watching the emperor believe in King Rui more and more? Willing to be replaced by King Rui?! ”

Huo Pei'an's face instantly condensed, and the chilling cold air emanating from his body made Tong Yuan tremble. Huo Pei'an said in a sharp tone: "No one wants to shake the status of the prime minister. The fact that he can sit in this position today is by no means achieved by being soft-hearted and swallowing his anger. ”

Speaking of this matter, Huo Pei'an was so angry that the killer he sent to assassinate Liang Yinhuan not only returned empty-handed, but also didn't know how the news would spread, and it spread throughout the capital, and even the emperor heard the gossip. Moreover, after Liang Yinhuan came back, he left the Hanlin Academy and officially helped the emperor to assist in government affairs, and now he is the same prime minister, almost on an equal footing with him. was originally a waste man like a mustard ant in Huo Pei'an's eyes, but suddenly he rose to prominence and became a celebrity next to the emperor, how can this make Huo Pei'an willing?

"Hehe, that's nature, that's nature!" Tong Yuan laughed nervously twice, and said, "It's the official who has no way to stop it." However, the lower official is also anxious for you, and this person will not be able to express his words. I hope that adults don't have to be weird. ”

Huo Pei'an saw that Tong Yuan was frightened, so he immediately softened his tone and said: "It's not that you don't know what you mean, but sometimes it's not enough to be fast, the more times like this, the more we have to calm down, and we can't be brave." The emperor is already suspicious of me, I should not act rashly at this time, not to mention that Wei Ming's old guy is staring at me all the time, once I make any mistakes, he will definitely make a big fuss!"

"Yes! Wei Ming's old stubbornness has always been at odds with us. Tong Yuan's brows tightened, and suddenly he got up and walked to Huo Pei'an's side, and said cautiously, "And I heard that he has been very close to King Rui recently, and he has been openly and honestly discussing matters several times, and it seems that the two of them are no longer hidden." Do they want to make a united front clear and deal with us together? ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? It seems that they are becoming more and more unscrupulous! Huo Pei'an smiled sinisterly, "But that's fine, the closer they go, the more obvious the intention of forming a party is, and the emperor will be suspicious of them one day." ”

Tong Yuan lowered his head and said meaningfully: "I'm afraid that they are discussing something important..."

Huo Pei'an couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw Tong Yuan's words, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Could it be that you know something? ”

Tong Yuan shrunk his neck, looking embarrassed and timid, and thought for a while before whispering: "Xia Guan did hear some gossip, but this matter is very important, and Xia Guan does not dare to speak arbitrarily until he is completely sure." ”

"Where is all this verbosity?!" Huo Pei'an frowned impatiently and urged, "You talk about it first, you have your own judgment!" ”

Tong Yuan paused, as if trying to figure out how to explain this matter, and after a while, he spoke: "Since King Rui returned to Beijing from Fuzhou, there have been major events in Beijing one after another, and officials have fallen one after another, and many strong soldiers and good generals around the adults have been broken. In just a few months, King Rui has changed from a thorn in the emperor's eyes to a celebrity in front of him, and he is very popular with the emperor. Therefore, without informing the adults, the lower officials took matters into their own hands and sent people to Fuzhou to inquire about the news and see if they could find some clues. ”

Huo Pei'an raised his eyebrows, squinted at Tong Yuan, and asked, "So, what did you find?" ”

"A slight discovery, indeed." Tong Yuan nodded slightly, and said cautiously, "It's just five points of evidence, five points of speculation." ”

Huo Pei'an shook his hand impatiently again, and there was obviously some urgency in his tone. "You talk about it first, if this news is reliable, even if you are only five points sure, you can still confirm Yinhuan's crime!"

"The people from the lower officials came to report, King Rui....It seems that he has something to do with some Jianghu forces!"

"Jianghu forces?" Huo Pei'an was stunned, obviously this kind of news made him a little confused for a while. He asked again, "What kind of forces?" ”

"It seems to be a Lingshan Gang....I heard that this gang has a lot of status in the rivers and lakes, and it is both good and evil, and its actions are also very vicious and treacherous. However, this Lingshan Gang is very low-key and mysterious on weekdays, so most people's cognition and understanding of the Lingshan Gang is only scratching the surface, and they don't know how much strength this Jianghu gang has. ”

"What does King Rui have to do with this Lingshan Gang?" Huo Pei'an asked suspiciously, "How can a dignified prince of the imperial court be involved with the elusive gangs?" ”

At first, Xia Guan didn't believe it. After all, the imperial court and the rivers and lakes have always been flooded and not invaded by rivers, and those people in the personal martial arts have no interest in the situation of the country, but the people under the official found out that the Lingshan Gang had helped King Rui detoxify and saved King Rui's life! ”

Hearing Tong Yuan say this, Huo Pei'an remembered that when Liang Yinhuan left Beijing, he secretly handed the emperor a piece of poisonous jade and gave it to King Rui in the name of the emperor, and then he didn't hear the news that King Rui was poisoned in Fuzhou, so he guessed that Liang Yinhuan might not be wearing poisonous jade, so he would get away with it. Now it sounds like Lingshan helped him ruin his good deeds!

Tong Yuan on the side saw Huo Pei'an contemplative, and couldn't help sneering secretly in his heart, but he pretended to be confused on his face, and asked at a loss: "My lord!" Are you alright, my lord? Isn't this news accurate? We haven't heard of Rui Wang's illness and poisoning in Fuzhou before! ”

Huo Pei'an put away the cold expression on his face, he didn't tell Tong Yuan about the 'poisonous jade', in fact, he never told anyone about it, even Emperor Liang Yinhao was kept in the dark and carried the black cauldron for him. Huo Pei'an pretended to be calm and said: "I don't think this matter is groundless, it still needs to be investigated carefully to be complete." After all, such a powerful force in the rivers and lakes cannot be underestimated, if they really secretly do things for Liang Yinhuan, then it will not be so simple for us to deal with King Rui. How did Liang Yinhuan win over the forces of the rivers and lakes? ”

"The lower officials don't know." Tong Yuan frowned and shook his head, then sighed again, and speculated, "But in this world, two unrelated people can sit in the same boat, and there must be interests driven by it." ”

"Not bad. Since there is a relationship of interest, I think there are also some shady deeds in it, it seems that we need to investigate this Lingshan Gang carefully! (To be continued.) )
