The moon is bright in the sky, and the snow is on the ground.

After the time passed, everything was silent, and Shen Ning had already fallen asleep.

On the street, several black shadows flashed quickly, touched the outside of the house, and then turned over and entered the courtyard. They landed silently, holding bright blades in their hands, and only their eyes were exposed under the cover of black clothes, cold-blooded and ruthless.

They locked Shen Ning's bedroom, rushed straight over, and then kicked the door in.

Immediately after, the sound of soldiers sounded in the house, accompanied by screams.

"Knock knock..."

There was a knock on the door, Shen Ning sat up, and asked, "Solved?" ”

"Return to Gongzi, capture two people, and kill all the other assassins." A man's voice sounded outside the house.

Shen Ning got out of bed, put on a cloak and opened the room.

The north wind blew into the house, making the brazier crackle, and it also made Shen Ning sleepy.

He walked out of the room and into the bedroom in the backyard, where he saw the corpses of the men in black all over the floor, and two of them were tied up with flowers.

Shen Ning sat on the main seat and asked with a smile, "Say, who sent you?" ”

The two men in black had stiff mouths, snorted coldly, and didn't say anything.

"Since you don't say it, let's kill it!" Shen Ning said casually.

The guards immediately dragged the two away.

At the same time, Chang Yuchun walked in with two young girls, who were the twin maids that Sima Haiyun had rewarded Shen Ning with, Xiaojin and Xiaolian.

At this time, the two women were already frightened, and after seeing Shen Ning, they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

Shen Ning had long known that these two women were spies, but they were not Sima Haiyun's, but Jiang Xiao. Tonight, the assassin killed directly, and it was also the two women who reported the news.

The two girls fell into the hands of Chang Yuchun, and they had already confided everything.

"Tomorrow, send his two daughters back to the Southeast Palace, tell the prince, and say that I, Shen Ning, have no blessings to accept them." Shen Ning said.

Chang Yuchun nodded, hugged his fists and said, "I understand my humble position." ”

Shen Ning looked at the two girls again, smiled gently, and asked, "Do you know how to speak then?" ”

The two women's bodies trembled, and they understood that they couldn't live, but when they thought of their families, they nodded hurriedly.

Early the next morning, the two girls were sent back to the southeast palace, and Sima Haiyun also learned the news of Shen Ning's attack.

Sima Haiyun was furious, Shen Ning was his lucky general, he was assassinated just after returning to Pengcheng, he didn't even take him seriously, as for who the murderer was, do you still need to guess?

What made Sima Haiyun even more angry was that it was the two maids he sent out to report the news, and his own people had always been Jiang Xiao's eyes and ears, which made Sima Haiyun feel unprecedented shame.

"You want to play? Okay, I'll play with you! Sima Haiyun directly took the two maids to see Sima Yue.

Sima Yue was also very angry after understanding the cause and effect.

He has been patient, but he didn't expect the other party to become even worse.

Sima Haiyun said: "Father, son-in-law heard that the Taoist Jin Dan is likely to be in the hands of Jiang Xiao and was secretly hidden by him. Now he is ashamed of his father's trust, and he can't indulge anymore. Erchen has a plan, he wants to investigate Jiang Xiao well, if the Taoist Jin Dan is really hidden by him, then he will be unforgivable! Even if you have worked hard for the Southeast Royal Mansion over the years, you can't forgive! ”

This time Sima Yue did not refuse, and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Sima Haiyun immediately said the plan in his heart.

Sima Yue sighed and nodded.

After Sima Haiyun left, he immediately summoned Shen Ning.

"Shen Ning, send someone to arrest Jiang Xiao's son!"

As soon as they met, Sima Haiyun took the lead in speaking.

Shen Ning pretended to be surprised and asked, "The prince wants to force Jiang Xiao's son to find out the whereabouts of Taoist Jin Dan?" It's just that Jiang Xiao is extremely cunning, will he tell his son the whereabouts of Taoist Jin Dan? I'm worried that the Taoist Jin Dan has been ruined by Jiang Xiao. ”

Sima Haiyun shook his head and said, "The Taoist Jin Dan is said to have a miraculous effect on healing, it can save the dying, such a good treasure is definitely a second life, Jiang Xiao will be willing to destroy it?" ”

"That's right, it's my words, it's definitely hidden in the treasure house, keep it well." Shen Ning agreed.

Sima Haiyun continued: "That's right! I'm sure I'll hide it well. Maybe Jiang Xiao won't tell his son the whereabouts of Taoist Jin Dan, but Jiang Xiao's treasure house is hidden there, and his son may know! If you can find that treasure house and search it, maybe there will be the whereabouts of Taoist Jindan. ”

Shen Ning's eyes lit up, and he praised him: "The son of the world is powerful, but he is humble and stupid." ”

"This is still your unintentional sentence, reminding me, haha..."Sima Haiyun said proudly.

Shen Ning said: "Please rest assured, the matter of capturing Jiang Xiao's son will be handed over to his subordinates." But Your Highness, when will the lowly position begin? ”

"I have already persuaded my father that he has no worries, and he will do it tonight, I already want to dismantle Jiang Xiao into eight pieces, and I dare to plant a spy next to me and look for death!" Sima Haiyun gritted his teeth, and that hatred was completely induced.

Shen Ning immediately received the order to retreat.

Jiang Xiao's son Jiang Yuan's situation had already been investigated, and he wanted to capture him as a piece of cake, so he was arrested that night when he was staying in the Qinglou.

Then handed it over to Sima Haiyun, Sima Haiyun personally supervised and examined, and made Jiang Yuan half dead, he told everything he knew, in fact, even he didn't know where his father's real treasure house was. But after all, he is Jiang Xiao's son, and he always knows some secrets.

So Sima Haiyun also pried out several of Jiang Xiao's private residences.

"Shen Ning, send someone to search! Check it out! Sima Haiyun said.

Shen Ning had long expected that this matter would fall on him, and this was exactly what he intended.

Next, Shen Ning led people to search the private houses, and then in the study of one of the private houses, he found a brocade box, which contained a pill.

This was naturally directly put by Shen Ning when he searched.

The pill was quickly delivered to Sima Haiyun, and then to Sima Yue.

When Sima Yue heard that he had found an elixir, he sighed and was surprised, but in order to confirm, he hurriedly secretly summoned the alchemists in the city and asked them to distinguish them, and finally the alchemist carefully checked the elixir and found that this elixir was exactly the same as the description of the Taoist Jindan, and it could basically be confirmed that it was the Taoist Jindan!

"Congratulations to my father, I finally found the Taoist Jin Dan, and my father's condition is expected to recover. It's just that I didn't expect that Jiang Xiao, a thief, was so hateful that he secretly hid the Taoist Jin Dan, and watched his father's condition deteriorate! How can this be justified, how can this be justified! Sima Haiyun shouted loudly.

Sima Yue was also angry, and secretly hid the Taoist Jin Dan, which definitely offended Sima Yue's rebellion, and he immediately found the palace guards and went to capture Jiang Xiao.

Soon, Jiang Xiao was escorted back.

"Please be aware of the prince, I don't know what crime I have committed, and please give the prince a chance to prove his innocence!" Jiang Xiao thought that the collusion with Sima Haiying had been leaked, and in his opinion, with his incorruptible tongue and so many years of contributions, the prince would definitely forgive him.

Who knows, Sima Yue took out the Taoist Jin Dan and asked in a cold voice: "Okay, you Jiang Xiao, in vain, this king trusts you and hands over the affairs of the palace to you, this is how you repay this king?" You hid the Taoist Jin Dan privately, did you want to see the death of this king with your own eyes? ”

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded, cold sweat broke out, and he hurriedly denied: "Impossible, the people sent to Longhu Mountain by the lowly position did not find the Taoist Jindan at all, how could it be hidden by the lowly position?" Even His Majesty's Earth Tiger Guard didn't find the Taoist Jin Dan, how could he hide it privately? ”

"And what is this?" Sima Yue picked up the Taoist Jin Dan and asked in a cold voice.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly said: "This is definitely not a Taoist Jindan, this is definitely someone planting a blame!" ”

"Blame? Who do you say to frame with Taoist Jindan? Who has the ability to do this! Jin Dan was found in your private house, and it was the henchman you sent to Longhu Mountain, could it be that your henchman planted you? Sima Yue said angrily.

Jiang Xiao said eagerly: "Please Mingjian, this must not be a Taoist Jindan, it must be fake!" ”

"Fake? It's still hard-mouthed! This king has already found several alchemists, and the time, refining techniques, and appearance of this Taoist golden pill are not bad at all! Do you think someone will hide this gold pill for decades, just to frame you? Sima Yue was so angry that he was coughing violently.

Sima Haiyun stepped forward to gently stroke Sima Yue's back, and said, "Father, this thief is treacherous, and he is still quibbling!" Why listen to his nonsense! Since the evidence is conclusive, it must not be tolerated! ”

Jiang Xiao was even more panicked, hurriedly kowtowed, and bowed: "Please check the prince, please check the prince, the humble position is wronged, it is wronged!" ”

"This king asks you one last thing, have you ever colluded with Sima Haiying to assassinate the prince?" Sima Yue asked coldly.

Jiang Xiao's lips trembled, and he wanted to refute, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything. Because he understands that since the prince asked like this, he must have found out the situation.

"Taken down and put on death row!" Sima Yue took a deep breath and waved his hand.

The guards immediately escorted Jiang Xiao away.

"Father, that big brother..."Sima Haiyun didn't want to let Sima Haiying go.

But Sima Yue sighed and said, "After all, he is your brother, and you will inherit the prince in the future, so you must have a tolerant heart." ”

Sima Haiyun was reluctant, but seeing that his father's face was extremely bad, he nodded, and then retreated.

Back at the house, Shen Ning was waiting.

Sima Haiyun told Shen Ning what had happened, and after Shen Ning heard it, he was relieved and knew that Jiang Xiao was already in a catastrophe.

"Jiang Xiao is really ashamed of his trust in the prince, and I don't know how many bad things he has done over the years. I wonder if the prince will show mercy? Shen Ning said worriedly.

Sima Haiyun sneered, "No, if you are on death row, don't even think about escaping, I will let someone give him a ride, he committed suicide with guilt, and it can be regarded as leaving him a whole corpse!" ”

Shen Ning nodded, with Sima Haiyun's temper, he would indeed not let Jiang Xiao go.

"The only pity is that Sima Haiying was not implicated, it's a pity!" Sima Haiyun said indignantly.

Shen Ning comforted: "Your Highness, he is your brother after all, breaking bones and tendons, I believe that with Jiang Xiao's accident, he will definitely be honest and dare not have bad intentions." ”

"Really? I don't think so! Sima Haiyun's eyes flickered, and it could be seen that he still had no intention of letting Sima Haiying go.
