Early the next morning.

Xiao Yan, who completed the task, went to Xiao Rui to receive the reward, and Xiao Rui promised to have the opportunity to let him go to the sea as the leading actor in the future, so as to calm his commotion.

"Seventh brother, what is the actor who goes to the sea?" Xiao Yan had a small question.

"There is so much nonsense, would you like it?" Xiao Rui was impatient.

"Yes, yes, yes." Xiao Yan nodded like pounding garlic.

Subsequently, Xiao Yan sent away the reluctant Xiao Yan and asked him to go to class, while Xiao Rui continued to skip class and went to see Jia Xu, but he didn't expect that Jia Xu was not in the mansion, and when he asked Gao Quan, he learned that he had gone out.

It wasn't until noon that Jia Xu returned to the house.

"Sir is back." Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Jia Xu arched his hand and replied: "Let Your Highness wait for a long time, I went to the yamen of the Criminal Department and watched the final verdict of the three divisions. ”

"Oh? After dragging on for a few days, there is finally a verdict. Xiao Rui asked, "Ask the queen of the autumn?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "That's right, the queen of autumn asked for beheading." ”

After a pause, Jia Xu continued: "Coming out of the yamen of the Criminal Department, I passed by the Xu Mansion by the way, and saw Xu Xianyang entering the palace in a carriage. ”

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment and asked, "Enter the palace?" Is it difficult to intercede? ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "It's very likely." ”

Xiao Rui was puzzled, pleading? Is this a lantern at night to go to the thatched house, looking for death?

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Your Highness forgot, yesterday I asked His Royal Highness Jiu to deliberately reveal that it was the lord who pretended to be the king of Hades, but he didn't mention Dongchang's involvement in it, the purpose of this is to let Xu Xianyang know that His Majesty doesn't know about it!" ”

Xu Xianyang thought that His Majesty didn't know about this, even the lord had deceived Emperor Xia and deceived the people of the world. So he can think that it was the lord who tortured Xu Haoran by deception, causing him to suffer from hysteria and think that he was the murderer, so he admitted the crime. ”

Xiao Rui nodded and asked, "Will Xu Xianyang do this?" ”

"Yes." Jia Xu said with a smile: "I have studied Xu Xianyang, he gave birth to five daughters, and finally got a son, and his pampering heart is well known, so he will restrain everything in Xu Haoran's growth, his studies, and his marriage." Now, this much-anticipated son is going to be beheaded by the Autumn Queen, and he will inevitably make a final struggle. And the only one who can change his son's fate is Emperor Xia. ”

Only then did Xiao Rui understand Jia Xu's intentions, and said: "Xu Xianyang thought that his father didn't know about the night trial of the king of Hades, so he wanted to use this as a breakthrough, but he didn't know that his father already knew. Therefore, what was waiting for him was not Emperor Xia's noble hand to retry the case, but Emperor Xia's reprimand. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Rui was puzzled again: "Sir, even if my father reprimands Xu Xianyang, he won't hate him." Didn't you say before that your majesty hated him? Only when his father hates him can he really bring him down! ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Emperor Xia reprimanded him, whether he knew that Emperor Xia was also involved or not, he understood that his son could not be saved." Therefore, he will hate His Highness even more, even to the point of not dying. So our second step is the bitter meat plan. You don't have to wait for him to do it, you can use the bitter meat trick tonight. ”

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that his heart was missing half a beat.

"What a bitter trick?" Xiao Rui felt a pain in his flesh.

Jia Xu said: "In order to prevent Xu Xianyang's revenge, the lord, you will first come to the bitter plan, so that Emperor Xia suspects that it is Xu Xianyang's revenge, he has killed his son, and he must also let Emperor Xia's son be buried with him." ”

"Xu Xianyang loves his son, why doesn't Emperor Xia? What's more, the assassination of the prince, this is a provocation to the imperial power, a provocation to the Xia Emperor, who sent the assassin? Who does Emperor Xia associate with? ”

Xiao Rui shuddered, and finally saw how powerful the poisoner Jia Xu was, and he didn't even let go of his own people.

The subsequent schemes began one after another. Now I will tire Your Highness and suffer some flesh and skin. Jia Xu said.

"Good! If you can bring him down, what is the pain of flesh and skin! Xiao Rui immediately agreed.

As Jia Xu expected.

Xu Xianyang was desperate and rushed to the doctor, suing the prince Xiao Rui for intimidating Xu Haoran with the deception of ghosts and gods, forming hysteria, which caused Xu Haoran to be mentally disordered and misconfessed the crime. As long as the only evidence can be refuted by his son's confession, the case can be overturned, because Steward Cao is dead, and the three doormen have not admitted to killing people until now.

He implored Emperor Xia to send someone to Tian'an County to investigate and prove that Xu Haoran had nothing to do with the Wang family, and if he had no relationship, how could he kill someone. Xu Xianyang believes that with the previous cover-up, the people who went to investigate could not find much useful information.

Pity.

What awaited him was not Emperor Xia's mercy, but a reprimand.

Emperor Xia didn't care about the face of his cabinet scholar, and scolded directly: "If people don't know unless they do it, this case has been concluded, and the result of the trial of the three divisions will be decided!" You are such a beastly act, and the sentence of a queen has already given you face, get out. ”

Xu Xianyang left the palace in despair.

On the way, I hurriedly learned that my eighty-year-old mother learned that her grandson was beheaded in the autumn and passed out sadly.

……

Night.

Xiao Rui sat quietly in his room, holding a dagger in his hand.

Gao Quan and Jia Xu are also there.

"Sir, where are you stabbed? I won't poke the internal organs, the bitter meat plan didn't work, and I burped. Xiao Rui smiled bitterly.

Jia Xu stepped forward, pointed to a position on Xiao Rui's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Here, the dagger will only hurt the flesh and skin, and will not hurt the bones and joints. ”

Xiao Rui picked up the dagger and put it in this position and looked at Gao Quan: "Gao Quan, come on, I can't do it myself." ”

"Don't dare to kill someone." Gao Quan cried with a sad face.

Xiao Rui looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu smiled and shook his head: "The subordinates have no power to restrain the chicken, and they can't hold the dagger." ”

Xiao Rui smiled bitterly, it seems that he has to do it himself.

Case...

"Poof..."

Xiao Rui became serious, very focused and tenacious.

He stabbed himself directly, and the dagger was inserted into the small half, and the blood flowed in an instant.

Gao Quan was distressed, so he reacted and shouted loudly outside: "Someone, there are assassins, there are assassins." His Highness was wounded by the assassins, and there was a lot of blood. ”

In an instant, chickens and dogs jumped in the small house.

Soon, the border battalion came.

Coincidentally, tonight, it turned out to be Zhang Jinfu, the Marquis of Zhongyong, who personally inspected the security of the capital to see if his subordinates were conscientious, and suddenly heard that His Royal Highness the Seventh was assassinated in the mansion, so he hurriedly rushed there.

"Your Highness the Seventh, are you alright?" Zhang Jinfu entered the house.

Xiao Rui was already lying on the bed, and the dagger had not been pulled out yet, for fear of losing too much blood. But at this time, the blood stained the white shirt.

"It's okay, let Hou Ye come in person." Xiao Rui's face turned slightly pale.

"What about Lang Zhong?" Zhang Jinfu shouted.

Gao Quandao: "I have already sent someone to call, but now there is a curfew, I am afraid that I will not be able to find it for a while." ”

"I'll enter the palace right now and find you the imperial doctor! I have to tell Your Majesty about this! Zhang Jinfu exclaimed, the person who is likely to become his son-in-law in the future was assassinated, which is unbearable.

Xiao Rui just wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Jia Xu's eyes and let this military marquis enter the palace.

When Zhang Jinfu, the Marquis of Zhongyong, came to the north gate of the imperial city, he was stopped by the Great Inner Forbidden Army.

"This military marquis has something important to tell Your Majesty, go and report it quickly." Zhang Jinfu glared.

The Ouchi Forbidden Army did not dare to delay, and directly found Feng Ci, the general of the Imperial Forest Army on duty in the palace.

Feng Ci is the general of the Imperial Forest Army of the Great Internal Forbidden Army, and Zhang Jinfu, the Marquis of Zhongyong, is a border battalion, one guards the imperial city, the other guards the capital, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, but the loyal and brave Marquis Zhang Jinfu is a marquis who is a real sword and a real gun, so Feng Ci did not dare to delay, and directly told the eunuch Hai Dafu, the palm print of the celebrant eunuch.

Gonggong Hai personally entered the harem and found Emperor Xia who was resting in Concubine Qing's bedroom.

Knowing that Zhang Jinfu asked to see him late at night, Emperor Xia had to summon him.

Then he moved to the Fengxian Palace.

When Zhang Jinfu entered the palace, he explained the situation.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Seventh was assassinated by an assassin and was seriously injured, and the last general entered the palace late at night and begged the imperial doctor to go and heal him." Zhang Jinfu will also brag.

"Huh?"

Emperor Xia got up suddenly, his face furious.
