With a bang, Xu Youshan suddenly felt that she couldn't hear anything, and there was only one sentence from Liu's mother in her mind - His Royal Highness King Li received a secret report from Zhengzhou and found that His Royal Highness the Third Prince had 30,000 private soldiers in Zhengzhou.

It's started, this is the signal that everything has begun, Xie Jing has already acted, otherwise how could Xie Yan know about Zhengzhou? You know, Concubine Xian and Xie Wen are not fuel-efficient lamps, since they dare to garrison as many as 30,000 troops in Zhengzhou, then the preparation must have been done ten out of ten, if it weren't for the huge Jiang Chunjin behind Xie Jing's support, then maybe Xie Jing would not have been able to find out Zhengzhou's secret even if he wasted another three years.

Therefore, the reason why Xie Yan was able to know about this matter at this time was that Xu Youshan didn't think anything else at all, it could only be that Xie Jing revealed the news to Xie Yan by some means, so that he could be pierced in front of Emperor Zhou Hui. Although Xu Youshan didn't understand why Xie Jing didn't do this thing in person and receive this credit, since he did it, there must be some reason.

So Xu Youshan didn't think much about it now, after letting Liu's mother go out and instruct the people in the clouds to be more cautious during this time, Xu Youshan pondered in the house.

It's just that Xu Youshan's side can be quiet as always, but in the Shendu at this time, it is already turbulent, especially in the doors like the Beiding Wangfu and the Xu family, which are all dignified from top to bottom. Because the higher they stand, the more they can find the cold that others can't find in the first place, just like now, the common people in the Divine Capital. When he was still drinking tea and chatting in the streets and alleys, in the Xu Mansion in Dongyang Lane, the door was already closed. Everyone's faces were solemn.

Xufu, Qinhuatang.

"Yu Ning, haven't they come back with news from your father?" The sunlight outside the window is just right, but there is no warmth in the room, Mrs. Qi is sitting in the first seat of the lobby, and below her, only Pei is sitting. There was only Mama Lu standing next to her. In this way, there are only three people in the room, but for some reason. The solemn aura that only emanated from the three of Mrs. Qi and the Pei family was very strong at this moment, which made Liu Yue and the others who were just guarding outside the house feel depressed.

"Not yet. Since their father, they were summoned to the palace by the Holy Lord. There has been no news back. Pei replied with a frown, they are not too clear about the situation in the palace now. Only in the few words left before Xu Rong and Xu Xi entered the palace, I knew that Xie Yan, the king of Li, found 30,000 private soldiers in Zhengzhou.

It's just that it is not explained who recruited and hid in Zhengzhou among these 30,000 private soldiers. But there is this identity and ability to do this kind of thing. But it's not hard to guess that it must be from the royal family. And Zhengzhou is not the territory of any member of the royal family. And although there are many royal families in the Shendu now, there are not many high-ranking and powerful ones, not to mention that at this time, it is still at an extremely sensitive juncture, it is when Emperor Zhou Hui is old and weak, and the prince has not yet been established, so no matter what these 30,000 private soldiers think, the first one to connect is only the prince.

But although the number of princes of Emperor Zhou Hui is large, there are only three adults, among which this matter was poked out by Xie Yan, so he can naturally rule it out, and the only one left is the eldest prince - Xie Jing, King of Chu; and the third prince Xie Wen.

But Xie Jing, the king of Chu, has always been weak, and in the divine capital, he has always been the prince that no one is optimistic about, although his identity is the eldest son of the emperor of the Great Zhou, but the situation is there, so even if Xie Jing and Xie Wen are actually the most suspicious, but no one wants to go to him, the first suspect that people think of will only be the only one left, the third prince Xie Wen.

"This time, King Li really played a ruthless move." Pei sighed.

"Hmph." But for some reason, Old Madam Qi sneered, and then said to Pei's family: "King Li? Before Princess Dongji was pregnant, whether it was King Li or Concubine De, but it had always been an attitude of being under house arrest and neglect, and was idle in Yiyu in the Shendu, although the saint did not do things absolutely, and the Bi family was still in the imperial capital, but in recent years, the power of Concubine De and the Bi family had already withered. Where do they have the strength to pull out the 30,000 private soldiers in Zhengzhou from the hands of the virtuous concubine and the third prince? ”

Old Madam Qi's cold words made Pei Shi slightly surprised, but then she nodded and said, "Then according to what you mean, do you mean that someone is helping him behind King Li this time?" Or, this time in Zhengzhou, someone revealed the news to King Li, and then planned to borrow a knife to kill people? ”

"Or else?" Old Madam Qi asked rhetorically, but Pei Shi completely understood, but according to the trend of the current Shendu, if it wasn't for Xie Yan, then who would be the person behind Xie Yan? Pei Shi was puzzled, but Old Madam Qi stopped talking at this time, her old man closed her eyes, leaned slightly on the pillow of goose yellow rolling silver orchid bamboo behind her, closed her eyes and rested.

At this time, it was the same puzzle that Xie Yan didn't have the ability to find out about Zhengzhou at all, but how did he do it? There is another person who is also puzzled with Pei's family, that is, Xie Wen, who is lying on his stomach in Guangming Palace, up and down his body, from hair to toes, there is no part that is no longer trembling.

Guangming Palace, there are only eight people in the palace at this time, including Emperor Zhou Hui and Meng Hai standing beside him, Xie Yan, the king of Li, Xu Luo, Xu Rong, the Duke of Nanxiang, Nie Jin, the Duke of Zhenguo, and Shangshu Zuo Pu shot Wen Rulin, and the third prince Xie Wen who was lying on the ground.

In addition to these people in the hall at this time, there are still many people guarding outside the palace, such as King Li and Xu Xi, and even Fang Yong, the Zhongshu Ling who was not left in the palace by Emperor Zhou Hui, and Xie Jing, who was also sent out of the palace by Emperor Zhou Hui, and many others, were all guarding outside the hall at this time, looking at the palace door with a solemn face. It's just that everyone's expressions are the same, but what exactly they are thinking at this time, only God knows. At the very least, at this time, the expression was the mind of Fang Yong, the Chinese scholar who changed again and again. I'm afraid no one can guess.

"Bang!"

But just when Xie Jing and the others were standing outside the hall, and the silence was abnormal, they were all suddenly crackled by the sudden crackling sound of porcelain breaking in the hall. They were so shocked that they all looked up and stared, but no matter how hard they looked at this time, it was impossible to penetrate the thick hall door and see what was happening in the hall.

……

……

Emperor Zhou Huidi's hands were trembling, but no one could find out at this time. Because Emperor Zhou Hui hid it under the bookcase of the Nine Dragons of the Nine Dragons of Xuanmu White Jade Ivory Carving. All the others could find now was the terrifying anger that came from Emperor Zhou Hui, although Emperor Zhou Hui still hadn't said a word at this time. But Xu Luo and the others are all looking at their noses and noses one by one, and they don't dare to come out at all.

"Yan'er, you can talk about it, and then talk to your father. You found out inside Zhengzhou. What's there? But just when everyone in the hall was about to be suffocated by Emperor Zhou Hui's rare momentum, Emperor Zhou Hui suddenly spoke, and his tone was gentle and incredible.

"Father, a few days ago, Erchen was worried because of the princess's recent sudden loss of appetite. Some time ago. In a hurry, he sent several groups of people to pray for blessings in the temples that were very subtle in various places. One of the most famous. It is the White Dragon Temple in Zhengzhou, so the sons and daughters focused on sending many retainers to Zhengzhou. But it was this trip to Zhengzhou that made the retainers of the sons and daughters discover that there were well-armored soldiers hidden in the deep mountains behind the Bailong Temple. ”

Xie Yan faced Emperor Zhou Huidi's gentle and gentle tone, but in fact, his palms were sweating, and his throat and eyes were dry to the point of speechlessness. But as long as he thought of the figure in his heart, Xie Yan's dry throat and eyes all the time were still able to say the words he had prepared a long time ago normally and extremely clearly.

And just after Xie Yan's words were finished, Emperor Zhou Hui's hand under the bookcase of the Xuanmu white jade tooth carving Nine Dragons Cloud Pattern shook violently again, and then Emperor Zhou Hui moved his gaze to Shangshu Zuo Pu and shot Wen Rulin.

"Wen Qing, then how did you find out about the 30,000 private soldiers in Zhengzhou?" It turned out that the 30,000 private soldiers who had discovered Zhengzhou were not only Xie Yan, but also Shangshu Zuo Pu and Wen Rulin.

Wen Rulin, probably among all the people present now, his expression can be regarded as the most calm one, because his expression at this time is still expressionless, no matter how terrifying the momentum exuded by Emperor Zhou Hui's body, but Wen Rulin's expression is still consistent and bland, just like right now, he is also expressionless to Emperor Zhou Huidi, saying words that may turn the world upside down: "Returning to the saint, Weichen is because of the investigation of General Lin's stealing of military supplies, so he will investigate the boundary of Zhengzhou along the way." ”

When Wen Rulin's words came to this, Xie Wen, who was already lying on the ground and trembling like chaff, was trembling even more wildly, but none of the people looked at him, including Emperor Zhou Hui, they all just continued to listen quietly, quietly, Wen Rulin's voice was not big, but extremely clear.

"At the beginning, Wei Chen did not leave behind the investigation of the flow of military supplies that Lin Qing stole away, after all, the armor and weapons that the court pulled out to the front-line soldiers have always been the most sophisticated, because they have the mark of the housekeeper, so the businessmen have always dared not buy them, so if Lin Qing is really like what he said, just for money, then the only direction he can sell the stolen goods is the black market.

But the strange place is here, after Wechen strictly checked all the black markets at the border, there was not even a little news about military supplies, and at that time Weichen found out that Lin Qing secretly replaced these military supplies, not for money at all. Therefore, Weichen changed the direction of the investigation and turned to investigate the transportation records of the border gates.

And it is in these huge transportation records that Wechen found five records of transporting materials from the border to Zhengzhou, although these are all caravans undertake, but the volume of shipments is not only huge, and the records of the consignor are also somewhat vague, Wechen felt strange, so he started from here. But where did I know about this investigation, I checked all the way to Zhengzhou, and also found that after all the military supplies flowed into Zhengzhou, there was no news.

So Wechen determined that the military quartermaster must be in this Zhengzhou city, and this Zhengzhou has become the direction of Wechen's key investigation. But it's a pity that the other party is extremely hidden, in the three months that Wechen sent people to lurk, there was no clue at all, if it wasn't for not a short time ago, I don't know why the 30,000 private soldiers would suddenly be transferred, and they were discovered by the people sent by Wechen to ambush, then it is estimated that Wechen really can't find them. ”

Wen Rulin said word by word, and the temperature in the hall also dropped to the lowest point bit by bit with Wen Rulin's words.

Emperor Zhou Hui stopped talking, and no one else dared to say a word again, but Emperor Zhou Huidi's eyes, which had always been like an old man, were bright and terrifying at this time, and the cruel gaze in his eyes was even more like a real type in the hall, and the body of Xie Wen who was lying on the ground. Even if he didn't have to look up, he felt that Emperor Zhou Huidi's gaze was like a knife on his body—his heart was shattered.

Dead silence, death-like silence, spread in the Guangming Palace, but Emperor Zhou Hui was still motionless, just quietly looking at Xie Wen in the center of the hall, in that soul-like gaze, but slowly another kind of eyes appeared.

Dreariness......

From the very beginning, the hand that had been hidden under the Xuanmu white jade ivory carving Nine Dragons Cloud Pattern Book Case was raised for the first time, and Emperor Zhou Hui stood up suddenly while holding the side of the case. Meng Hai, who had always been like a transparent person next to him, was startled and hurried over to help Emperor Zhou Hui, but before Meng Hai touched Emperor Zhou Huidi's hand, he was waved aside by Emperor Zhou Hui.

And with the figure of Meng Hai falling out, there should have been a pen and ink inkstone on the Nine Dragons cloud pattern bookcase of the white jade tooth carving of Xuanmu, a bronze gilt dragon pattern paperweight, a cloisonné enamel printing box made of black gold glazed porcelain, and a plum horseshoe water inkstone with white jade inlaid gems, etc., countless rare treasures were all smashed by Emperor Zhou Hui to Xie Wen below.

The crackling sound, after a long period of dead silence, was suddenly like a loud earthquake, which sounded in the ears of other people in the hall, so that even the two old ladies of the Xu family, who had been watching their noses and noses, couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Emperor Zhou Hui's behavior with Meng Hai. But it's all just for show. (To be continued.) )
