"It's not my sword!" Yang Xiuji held his sword in a panic, not knowing how to take it.

He wasn't stupid, there were so many things that had happened before, how could he not have guessed that today was not a good day.

Before he stayed, his heart had been beating wildly, lest those people think of him.

In fact, he also wanted to slip away, but there were all Praetorian Guards around here, where did he go?

Now this sword that suddenly appeared is definitely not a good thing!

"Prince, how does this King Yang Xiuji remember that he was from your East Palace before?" Ouyang Haoxuan pointed at Yang Xiuji, looked at the prince and asked, "Could it be that this Soul Sword was given to him by you from the Yuan State Mansion?" It's just that the prince doesn't know that this is a royal gift? ”

"Yang Xiuji?" The prince hadn't recovered from the twists and turns just now, so he suddenly heard Ouyang Haoxuan ask himself, and couldn't help but reply a little confused: "He had been in the palace for a few days before, and then he disappeared, and I don't know how he became the deputy general of the fifth man, as for this sword, the palace has never even heard of it, how can it be rewarded to him?" ”

Ouyang Haoxuan nodded, and said clearly: "Father, Li Qiu and Li Jin of the Yun family were killed by this person, and I also ask my father to take this person into custody at the same time!" ”

"What?" As soon as Ouyang Haoxuan's voice fell, everyone remembered that Li Qiu and Li Jin had been killed on the way.

"Your Majesty, you have been wronged!" Of course, Yang Xiuji couldn't admit that he had killed someone, so he immediately knelt on the ground and howled: "Your Majesty, the young general was just ordered to give a birthday gift, and he didn't know what this Soul Sword was, and it wasn't this sword that the young general brought before!" Please also ask the emperor to take a look! ”

"Stealing the royal gifts, killing Li Qiu and Li Jin, intending to blame the Yuan State Mansion and stir up the relationship between the Yuan State Mansion and the Yunzhou Li family." Ouyang Haoxuan slowly analyzed: "Yang Xiuji, your move is really a few birds with one stone. ”

"His Royal Highness King Xuan, you can't spew blood!" Because Yang Xiuji was too nervous, the toxins hidden in his body were awakened again, so that Yang Xiuji's whole state began to become arrogant again, "I haven't been to the Yuanguo Mansion at all, and I haven't seen Li Qiu and Li Jin, King Xuan, why do you say that I am a murderer!" ”

"Come on, bring the only surviving guard!" After Ouyang Haoxuan finished speaking, it didn't take long for the guard who had been locked up in another firewood room in the backyard by the Li family to be brought up.

"Look at it, is it this person who killed your Li family's master and son." Ouyang Haoxuan pointed at Yang Xiuji to show the guard, and then asked, "What was the situation like at that time?" ”

"It's him!" When the guard saw Yang Xiuji, he immediately took a few steps back in fear, pointed at Yang Xiuji and said, "He killed the old master and the young master!" ”

It turned out that Li Qiu and Li Jin were supposed to leave Jingxian three days ago, but they were used to enjoying it, so it was naturally impossible for them to sleep in the open, and they had fun in Jingxian again, so they delayed the journey.

On this day, Li Qiu and Li Jin's carriage had just arrived at a mountain col a hundred miles outside Jingxian, but they were surrounded by people who suddenly appeared, who called themselves mountain bandits and demanded that Li Qiu and Li Jin hand over all the money on their bodies.

Li Qiu and Li Jin loved money as much as their lives, and of course they refused to hand over the silver, so there was a conflict between the two sides, and there was a mountain bandit leader who only said that he would arrest people and go to extort the master's house when the time came, but the people around the mountain bandit leader said that these two people must die and cannot stay.

The leader of the mountain bandits was a little dissatisfied, so the man stepped forward to do it himself, but Li Jin didn't want to die, so he ripped off the man's black mask in the resistance, and recognized Yang Xiuji's identity at a glance.

It was even more impossible for Yang Xiuji, who was recognized, to stay alive, so he quickly slashed and killed Li Jin.

"How did you kill everyone?" The leader of the mountain bandits said with some displeasure: "The identities of these two people are not simple people, if the government investigates them, we will all be in trouble at that time!" ”

"The master said that they can't be left alive." Yang Xiuji put away his sword, and then said to the leader of the mountain bandits: "Throw the corpses to the back mountain to feed the wolves, who will know that they died here?" ”

"Why did the master kill these two people?" The leader of the mountain bandits had obviously cooperated with Yang Xiuji many times, and said in a strange whisper: "You can be careful, don't lose yourself." ”

"Don't worry, the master said that it was to blame Yun Yi and provoke the relationship between the Yun family and the Li family." Yun Yi didn't take the words of the mountain bandit leader to heart, after all, in his eyes, the mountain bandit leader was just a rough man, where did he know what kind of conspiracy and tricks?

However, Yang Xiuji only now understands that some things are not taken for granted.

Although the leader of the mountain bandits is rough in his words, he is not rough, because he has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, so his perception of danger is often higher than ordinary people.

So he was the first to smell the conspiracy.

It's just that Yang Xiuji doesn't listen, so he naturally won't talk much.

It's just that Yang Xiuji couldn't understand why the sword on his body turned into the Immortal Breath Sword, and he didn't know that this Immortal Breath Sword was a gift from the Emperor.

"Someone from the Yuan Kingdom Mansion is here." The emperor motioned to Gonggong Liu to take the Soul Breath Sword and spoke in a deep voice.

The Sword of Soul was given to a woman by his father, the Emperor, who was the Emperor of the Yuan Kingdom.

Although the woman was only a concubine, she had a hearty personality and a gentle temper, and was very popular with the young lady of the family.

When the first emperor met this woman, neither of them knew the identity of the other, but they got along very easily and comfortably.

And the Sword of Immortal Breath is the sword that the first emperor has always carried by his side.

Later, the first emperor won the first opportunity in the battle for succession and finally sat on the throne.

And the first thing the emperor did when he became the emperor was to use the sword of the Soul as a dowry to marry the woman as a concubine.

It's a pity that a conspiracy took away the woman's life and all the hopes of the first emperor.

Since then, the women around the first emperor have always looked a little like her who has passed away.

And the Immortal Sword remained in the Yuan State Mansion like this, and the first emperor never took it back, as if the other party was still waiting to marry him and never left.

It's just that few people know about this past, so no one knows the meaning of the Stygian Sword.

Just when the emperor was watching the Soul Breath Sword come out of his mind, Li Yuangang was brought back to Yunfu again, this time, she was the Yuanguo Mansion.

When Li Yuan just walked in, his eyes swept over Yun Yuexi's face quietly, in fact, he had been waiting at the door, and when he saw that the little father-in-law was coming to invite someone, he stopped him directly.

And that little father-in-law also knew Li Yuangang, what happened to the Pingsu Yuanguo Mansion, most of them were Li Yuangang, so he didn't delay, and immediately brought her to Yunfu.

"See the emperor!" Li Yuangang saluted to the emperor, and when he saw the Immortal Sword in his hand, he couldn't help but say with some doubts: "Your Majesty, this Immortal Breath Sword has always been enshrined in the ancestral hall of the Yuan State Mansion, how could it be here?" ”

"Since you know this Soul Sword, then you can tell me, do you know that person over there?" The emperor said that it was naturally Yang Xiuji.

"I don't know." Li Yuangang replied categorically, and then thought about it and said: "Your Majesty, if there is still a Soul Sword in the ancestral hall of the Yuan State Mansion, then this one may be a forgery!" ”

"Forgery?" When the emperor heard Li Yuangang say this, he was stunned for a moment, took out the Soul Sword again, looked at it carefully, and suddenly threw the sword on the ground and said, "This Sword of Soul is fake!" ”

"Father, this shows that what Fang Cai'er said is true." Ouyang Haoxuan immediately said: "Yang Xiuji must have been instructed by someone to frame the Yuan Kingdom Mansion with the Soul Sword, and just for the crime of forging the imperial relics, Erchen thinks that Yang Xiuji should be taken into custody!" ”

"Hao Xuan is reasonable, take the person away first, and interrogate it well!" The emperor seemed to be tired, waved his hand, and those Praetorian Guards didn't give Yang Xiuji a chance to argue at all, so they directly covered their mouths and went down.

"Zhen Guogong, about Liu Qi's matter, I will let Hao Xuan interrogate him well, and I will definitely give Zhen Guogong an explanation." In fact, the emperor didn't need to talk to Liu Yuancheng like this, but for the sake of Zhenguo Gong who had just lost his beloved son, the emperor could be regarded as giving him enough face.

"Weichen, thank the emperor for his grace!" Liu Yuancheng also knew that people could not be resurrected after death, so when he heard the emperor say this, it was naturally impossible for him to continue to dwell on this matter.

At this point, the dust has basically settled, and the rest will wait for the results of the interrogation to come out before a decision can be made.

The emperor took Gonggong Liu back to the palace, and on the way, the emperor sitting on the dragon suddenly opened his mouth to Gong Liu, and only said: "The fifth child is really getting bolder and bolder now, and he dares to lay out such a big situation to frame Yun Yuexi and the seventh child, if it weren't for the two children who were smart, I'm afraid that they would be speechless now." ”

"Your Majesty, does this matter still need to be investigated?" Gonggong Liu asked tentatively.

"You go and tell Lao Qi, just find Yun Mingyan and the deputy general." The emperor pinched his eyebrows and said as if he was a little tired: "This matter ends here." ”

"Minions understand." Gonggong Liu hurriedly responded, as if he had thought of something, and said: "Your Majesty, the ...... of Zhenguo Gong's side"

"No matter what the truth of Liu Qi's matter is, Zhenguo Gong has no son, but no matter what, the Yun family is innocent, and beheading him on a certain day can be regarded as giving Zhenguo Gong an explanation." After the emperor finished speaking, he waved his hand, closed his eyes, and said no more.

Gonggong Liu respectfully followed the dragon beside him, although there was no reaction on his face, but he was also a little disappointed in his heart, the emperor is still unwilling to attack the five princes, it seems that the little master has to find another way.

At this time, the atmosphere in Yunfu was more tense. 、

Yun Yi sat at the top of the flower hall with a dark face, Yun Fusheng and Wu sat on his left, while the others sat or stood, and no one spoke.

"Mingsi, you come and tell me, what's going on today!" Yun Yi stared at Yun Mingsi with his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "For so many years, my father has always believed in you, but as a result, Ming Yan did these things right under your nose!" Don't you, the big brother, notice it at all? ”
