"During the seven-day period, is there a better candidate for Commander Shen?"

Shen Ye said coldly: "Are you trying to bend into a move?" ”

Xue Jinian sneered coldly: "If you can find out the real culprit behind the scenes, why should this governor be sad here." ”

Shen Ye: "......"

"Lord Shen, I want to see Your Majesty! I want to see Your Majesty. Liu An suddenly spoke weakly. Shen Ye's actions gave him a glimmer of hope, Liu An was eager to see His Majesty the Emperor and tell His Majesty Everything he knew, perhaps, the Liu family still had a glimmer of life.

"Okay, I'll take you to your majesty." After speaking, Shen Ye stepped forward and wanted to untie Liu An's shackles.

Hearing the rattling of the iron chains, Shen Ye stared at Xue Jinian with a dark face and said, "Where is the key?" ”

Xue Jinian sneered again: "Where is Commander Shen's East Factory?" Anyone who wants to come and go can go! ”

"The commander of Ouchi is a personal guard, and the prisoner has the right to ask to see His Majesty!"

"Before the real murderer is tried, Your Majesty doesn't want to see anyone!" Xue Jinian held the silk silk in his hand and pressed the corner of his lips again: "Liu An, as the commander of the Great Interior, colluded with foreign parties to try to rebel, and the evidence is conclusive!" ”

Shen Yemeng raised his head: "Evidence of the crime? Where does the evidence come from? ”

Liu An was also shocked, even though he was physically and mentally exhausted, he still didn't forget to argue: "Xue Jinian, you are spewing blood, I, Liu, sit upright, be loyal to Your Majesty, and have no rebellious heart." ”

Xue Jinian didn't seem to hear it, and said to Xue Qi: "Submit it." ”

Xue Qi stepped into the cell with his head down, holding a tray in both hands, and stood in front of Xue Jinian.

That's a picture.

Shen Ye didn't say anything, but Liu An was shocked, he couldn't be clearer about this picture, all the pictures marked on it were drawn by him himself-Ouchi Security Map.

The map is updated every other month, and only he knows the location of the update.

But now it is in the hands of Xue Jinian, to be precise, he handed it over to Xue Jinian personally.

This picture was found in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, and the man was in a hurry to destroy it, but fortunately Xue Qi grabbed it in time and did not lose this important thing. Can Commander Liu still know it? ”

Liu An stared at the thin security map in shock, as if he wanted to stare it out of a hole.

On the same day, Xue Jinian found him and said that the master in the palace had been restless recently, and he wanted to check the layout of the inner palace in person.

This kind of thing had happened before, so Liu An didn't care about it at the time.

Besides, everyone knows that Xue Jinian is a dog in front of the imperial concubine, and he is the most loyal.

But now, he reacted that Xue Jinian was loyal to Liu Ruyue, not everyone in the Liu family!

He doesn't know when he offended the other party, he wants to announce his personal vendetta and frame him.

Before, because of the matter of his little grandson, Liu An had already wanted to bow his head, but now looking at Shen Ye's performance, it is obvious that he is not in harmony with Xue Jinian, perhaps, he can fight for a glimmer of life for himself.

"Xue Jinian, this is obviously what you took from me, you don't frame me!"

"Ouchi Security has nothing to do with the East Factory, why did the Governor ask you to get this picture?"

"It was the concubine Niangniang who sent you to ask for it, saying that she was restless and couldn't sleep at night." So far, Liu An can only say anything, and he can't care about anything like "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics", and he can't care about whether this will drag Liu Ruyue into the water.

"The concubine is accompanied by His Majesty, why is she restless?" Xue Jinian said with a leisurely expression: "Besides, what's the use of the imperial concubine with your layout map?" Murder of the emperor? ”

He said it lightly, word by word, but Shen Ye and Liu An were shocked when he heard it.

The meaning of these words could not be clearer, this matter is either planted on the willow bank; Or, it is the imperial concubine who is different.

I believe that Shen Ye is a pig brain, and he also understands the stakes here.

"Xue Jinian...... You! …… Poof......" Liu An was emotional, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out.

Xue Jinian didn't seem to see it, and said to Shen Ye: "The matter has come to this, what else does Commander Shen want to ask?" ”

Shen Ye had a dark face, looked at Liu An, who was panting like pulling a bellows, and turned to leave......

Xue Jinian was still calm, and when Shen Ye's figure disappeared, he slowly turned around and stood in front of Liu An, his hand holding the tea bowl stretched out, and he tilted slightly, and a bowl full of hot tea soup poured down from the top of Liu An's head.

He was not in a hurry, and watched the water pour on the willow bank like a thin line, and then drip down the hair on the soles of his feet.

"It seems that the governor's previous kindness, Commander Liu did not accept it. Tsk, what a pity. Do you think Shen Ye saved you?! ”

After arguing, Liu An exhausted all his strength, and at this time he hung his head weakly, letting the hot water on his head spill without any movement.

He had calmed down, and only then did he understand what Xue Jinian really meant. Therefore, it is more clear that there is no way for me to live.

If he didn't confess the imperial concubine, maybe the Anguo Mansion would be able to see the same clan and clan, and he might even be in vain and pull him along.

But once he confessed the imperial concubine, he would kill himself, and the Liu family would give up on him completely.

A few days after Chinese New Year's Eve, Hua Qian did not go out, all said that the holy decree was difficult to disobey, that day the emperor's personal will, to Dongchang and Zhenfu Division to cooperate to catch the real culprit behind the scenes, in just seven days, Xue Jinian must be under a lot of pressure, she feels that she still knows a little in the past few days, it is best not to disturb Xue Jinian.

Just after noon, Hua Qian ate and drank enough to lie in the Feique Palace to bask in the sun, and the movement on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve was too great, so that from the first day of the new year to the present, the palace was gloomy, and there was no festive celebration at all.

Although this assassination operation did not succeed in killing Emperor Xuantong, it succeeded in killing a small half of his harem, which is still a lot of strength. After all, those who can get to the emperor's side are generally characters with heads, faces and backgrounds. For example, the virtuous concubine, I heard that the sixth prince has cried and fainted several times in the hall in the past few days.

There is also Concubine Shu, the eldest princess cried and hit the coffin several times, and she begged the other party to take it away.

However, Emperor Xuantong doesn't seem to care, the first of the four fortunate things in life is that people lose their wives in middle age, especially rich men. And Emperor Xuantong, as the richest man in the Great Jin Dynasty, has countless harems, as long as the knife is not cut on his neck, it has nothing to do with him if he dies.

Even if it is a dead old lady, he will howl at most, and continue to spoil the yellow flower girl after howling.

Anyway, after the beginning of spring, it will be a triennial draft event, and even if these yellow flowers of yesterday do not die in the hands of the assassins now, they will slowly die in the deep palace of loneliness, and they will not be pitied by him at all. It's better to die in the present, and you can still get a reputation for being loyal to the monarch and protecting the lord, giving yourself a good reputation, and a good future for your clansmen.

That being said, there are only a few people who are so open-minded, and most of them don't want to die yet, but in such an emergency, no one's life is worth as much as the emperor's life, and these harem women can only ask for more blessings for themselves.

If you can't ask for it, you can only go down to Huangquan to find Lord Yan and cry about the unfairness of fate.

However, most men will not admit this kind of scum attribute, and Emperor Xuantong is the same, although he is worried about those delicate and beautiful women in spring, and he has to be sad on the surface.

Whether the dead concubines crowded around him to beg him for protection or to protect him, he had to grieve. In order to show that he is not a big scumbag, Emperor Xuantong poked the golden seal, the dead concubines were buried collectively, and the children of the family were all in the shadow.

She had heard of all of the above, and she had also heard that all the people who survived the Moon Palace that day were rewarded by all the descendants of the heroic Savior.

She sighed very much, although it is dangerous to be an errand by the emperor's side, but I have to say that the chance of being promoted and getting rich is much greater. There is still a certain truth in the so-called seeking wealth and danger, and blessing and misfortune depend on each other.

and Princess Changle. I heard that after Princess Changle returned to the palace, she didn't go out for a few days, and Hua Qian guessed that she was probably also in the process of collecting her soul.

I didn't bother her at all.

Listening to Jinxin, Changle was rescued by the people of Dongchang.

Hua Qian knew that it was Xue Qi.

That day, she saw someone jumping down one step faster than her, so she didn't follow, she thought that Changle must be more than lucky, but she didn't expect that as soon as she got off the Moon Palace, she saw a small palace maid in Feiyun Palace waiting for her, saying that Princess Changle told her to report safety to Princess Changning, she was all right to reassure Princess Changning, she was tired and went back to rest first, and then went to see her in a few days, Yunyun.

When the two of them hung on the wall that day, I don't know if Changle knew that the person who saved her was Xue Qi.

With Changle's arrogant and "jealous and hateful" temperament, she didn't know how to feel when she learned that the person who saved her was the one who offended her in the first place.

In short, there will be a shadow in her heart, and it can be seen from the fact that she has not come to Feique Palace in the past few days, and this shadow is not small.

However, Hua Qian really can't be interested in listening to gossip these days, she is worried about Xue Jinian. Until the antidote is found, her worries are genuine.

I heard that Xue Jinian did not participate in this meritorious deeds reward meeting, and it is estimated that there is a lot of pressure to investigate the case.

She pondered that she was waiting for this matter, and she had to talk to Xue Jinian about it.

Jinxin walked in with a plate and saw her princess curled up on the couch like an old lady, squinting and sleepy.

She pursed her lips and smiled, stepped forward to put down the plate, and reached out to push Hua Qian: "Princess, wake up." ”

"What's wrong?" Hua Qian half-opened one eye and asked lazily.

Jinxin said mysteriously: "The slave maid just went to the Imperial Catering Division and heard about a major event. "Everybody

"What's the matter?" As soon as she heard that it was a big deal, Hua Qian came to her senses, she turned over neatly, looked at Jinxin with her head cross-legged and smiled: "Does this big event have anything to do with us?" ”

"Not really."

As soon as she heard that there was no, Hua Qian became more interested, and now she wished that all the major events had nothing to do with her, so that she could watch the fire from the other side and live more comfortably.

"What's that? Alas, don't sell it, say it quickly. ”

Jinxin approached the couch and said, "I heard that your imperial uncle has been crowned king." ”

Hua Qian tilted his head, looking inexplicable: "Who?" ”

Jinxin: "Oh, it's the Huaiwang concubine Yin Zishang who sent you back to Beijing." ”

Hua Qian was stunned: "He? Crowned king? ”

"That's right, just this morning, I heard that the rescue was meritorious, Your Majesty praised it, and gave him the title of King of Nan, as well as a fief, in Nanling."

Nanling? Isn't that next door to his hometown of Jingyang?

Hua Qian muttered suspiciously, so coincidental?

@@@

Emperor Xuantong's decree was very time-sensitive, except for Xue Shen and the others, everyone was waiting with a good show. The person who can arrange so many assassins in the Forbidden Palace at one time is by no means an idle person, and his background must be very strong. Regardless of whether this matter can be found out, even if it is found out, can it overturn the other party at one time? After all, a person with this ability cannot be completely destroyed at one time, and there will be endless troubles in the future.

Coupled with the current level of anger of Emperor Xuantong, no matter who is at this juncture, the slightest carelessness will be a bad head. When things are done, everyone is happy; Things don't work well, and people fall to the ground.

For the average person, the pressure is not ordinarily great.

But obviously, the two people who received the order were not ordinary people.

Investigating the case is tantamount to exposing the truth.

This kind of thing Dongchang has always thought that it will not lose to anyone, and now it has added Jinyiwei, which is even more like a tiger, not to mention seven days, even three days, and they dare to respond.

The emperor asked for an answer, and they could give it in minutes. It's just that whether this answer is true or false, whether it can convince everyone or not, still needs a little consideration.

This deliberation is five days.

Just after the fifth day, a shocking news exploded directly into the palace.

Liu An, the commander of the Ouchi Praetorian Guard, conspired to collude with the rest of the Taishi and planned this incident together in order to avenge the Taishi.

As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

Who is this master?

There is no need to mention the name, after all, since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, the position of the Taishi was personally ordered by Emperor Xuantong to be destroyed, and the whole family collectively sent people to the head in the vegetable market, only this one, no other semicolon.

The crime is treason!

Rebellion is a technical job, and if you succeed, see you in the palace; If the plot is unsuccessful, everyone will see you in the vegetable market.

And apparently, this hapless Taishi is the latter.

In all dynasties, the most intolerable thing for emperors is rebellion. No matter how high your achievements are, no matter how deep the popularity is, there is only one way to cut off your head.

It wasn't long before he died, just five years ago.

As for why Liu An colluded?

For some people, life in the world is either to seek fame or profit. As the commander of the Ouchi, Liu An already has a name, so there is only profit.

The world is bustling, all for profit.

The benefits that Liu An sought were extraordinary.

More than 500,000 taels of gold! It is said to be hidden in an abandoned mine pit in the Nanling Mountains. Jinyiwei hurried up and was on the way to Nanling at this time.

Liu An knew that he was guilty, and after spitting out the treasure place, he crashed to death in the cell.

The people of Dongchang searched for a handwritten letter in Liufu, and the handwriting was indeed written by Liu An himself. Obviously, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu An did not appear in the palace, but was making calculations at home. If he succeeds in this battle, he will be rich and rival the country; If it fails...... Just write a suicide note.

What the hell is going on, now he confesses his guilt, and only asks His Majesty to be kind and let the family go.

Just kidding, when this kind of thing happens, it's all about being wiped out, okay?

Sure enough, when the Jinyi guard rushed into the gate of Liufu, he saw the collective hanging beams up and down the Liufu, and he died neatly.

Although it is not good to die, it will not end well.

Dongchang and Jinyiwei put the blame on this Liu Commander, and the others, even if they had doubts, did not dare to confront these two devilish institutions.

Imperial Concubine Liu Ruyue is like five thunderbolts, and the whole person is not good.

The previous assassination incident had already frightened her a lot, and it is said that after returning to Huanyi Palace, she had nightmares for two whole nights, and the entire Huanyi Palace did not sleep well when the ghosts cried wolves.

I just stopped for the past two days, and finally had a good night's sleep, and when I opened my eyes, I was hit by such a big thunderbolt, which is said to have been supervised by Xue Jinian, the governor of Dongchang.

Imperial Concubine Liu Ruyue's eyes turned black and she almost fainted.

Liu An is her cousin's brother, the crime of rebellion affects the nine clans, even if the imperial concubine is dark and can't see the way, she still remembers asking her to carry her to the imperial study, kneeling outside the heart palace and crying.

However, this time, Emperor Xuantong did not come out to comfort her.

@@@

East Plant

"It's all arranged?"

"Well, it has been arranged, and the dead brother has also been fully settled."

Xue Jinian nodded, and did not ask Xue Qi what he meant by the so-called "perfect placement", Xue Qi had been with him for so many years, and many thoughts and opinions coincided with him. For example, they both believe that the safest way to keep a secret is to make it impossible for the other party to open their mouths.

He who does this believes only in the dead.

"The Overseer has been wounded so badly, and those traitors deserve death."

"If the injury is not serious, how can I clear the suspicion?" Xue Jinian sneered, put one hand on the table and let Xue Qi bandage it, and his eyes fell on the window frame from afar.

This time, the remnants were wiped out, and they were able to help Yin Zishang, and Xue Jinian was quite satisfied with the result.

These remnants of the Taishi were summoned by him, and the road was also arranged by him for them, and even the relationship here in Liu'an was paved by him.

Liu An, Liu Ruyue's distant relative, the branch of the Anguo Mansion, if you want to bring down Liu Ruyue, this branch must not be left.

In fact, Liu An was able to generously give him the drawings directly that day, in addition to thinking that they were a partisan, he also thought that he would not dare to do anything even if he took the drawings.

Liu An really thinks so.

No matter how powerful Xue Jinian is, he is only a slave of the Heavenly Family, and he does not dare to be rampant in the palace. The so-called son of heaven and a courtier, only if Emperor Xuantong favors him, he can stand tall and stand firm, but one day Emperor Xuantong does not want to see him, he is not as good as a dog.

Therefore, he was sure that Xue Jinian would not be able to do the stupid thing of "killing the king", after all, no one could guarantee that the new prince would definitely reuse the old minions.

Besides, that day, he deliberately fell ill, thinking that if something happened, he could also have an excuse.

In fact, Liu An's approach is not wrong, the mistake is that he still knows too little about Xue Jinian. He calculated that Xue Jinian would not dare to touch Emperor Xuantong, but he did not calculate that his methods would be so cruel.

The Liu family was wiped out, and even his 2-year-old grandson was not spared.

Liu An didn't want to die, but someone forced him to die!

The Liu family didn't want to die, but like Liu An, they had no choice.

When Shen Ye's brocade guards rushed into the Liu Mansion, they saw a tragic scene as mentioned earlier.

Everyone thought that Liufu committed suicide in fear of sin, and no one knew that those Liu family children who died neatly had been collectively poisoned before they died, a kind of poison that can make people's limbs weak and hallucinate.

As long as the person moves his hands slightly, hanging on the beam is a simple matter.
