When Kou Ji heard this, he wanted to comfort Zhao Zhen, but he couldn't find a suitable word to comfort Zhao Zhen, so he could only sigh, salute Zhao Zhen, and withdraw from the side hall.

Out of the side hall, when passing by Liu's father and son, Kou Ji suddenly stepped down, looked at Liu Mei, casually dragged off the jade jue on Liu Mei's waist, and hurried out of the palace.

Zhao Zhen sent someone to pass the word in advance, and Kou Ji left the palace all the way unimpeded.

Out of the palace gate, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, found the carriage in the house, and walked over quickly.

The carriage of Koufu was parked on the side of the Jinshui Bridge, and a large lantern with the word Kou was hung on the head of the carriage, and the groom was sitting on the wheel and was sleeping soundly.

As Koji approached, the groom opened his eyes suddenly.

The horseman's skill was practiced on the battlefield.

In order to avoid being cut off while he was asleep, the groom woke up when he slept.

After a long time, he has a unique skill.

That is, when he is asleep, when someone comes within a foot of him, he will wake up.

The groom opened his eyes and saw Kou Ji with a hurried expression, his face changed slightly, "Young master, why did you leave the palace alone in the middle of the night, but you offended the official family and were kicked out?" ”

Kou Ji stepped into the carriage and said in a deep voice: "Go to Liu's Mansion!" ”

The groom heard that Kou Ji's tone was wrong, and he didn't say anything more, he changed a candle in the lantern above his head, and after Kou Ji got into the carriage and sat down, he drove the carriage to Liu's mansion quickly.

The carriage rushed all the way to Liu's mansion.

Kou Ji jumped out of the carriage and rushed to the door of Liu's mansion to knock on the door.

There was a bang on the door of Liu's mansion.

The doorman of Liu's mansion shouted two sentences inside, opened the door, and after seeing Kou Ji, he immediately nodded and invited Kou Ji to enter the mansion.

Kou Ji entered Liu's mansion and lit up Liu Mei's Yujue, "Take me to see the third lady......"

As soon as Menzi saw that Kou Ji was holding the jade Jue that Liu Mei was wearing, he didn't dare to say much, and took Kou Ji to the courtyard where Liu Heng's family was.

After the steward in Liu Heng's courtyard saw Kou Ji appear, he hurriedly went to wake up Liu Heng's two wives.

After Kou Ji saw Liu Heng's two wives, he threw Liu Mei's jade jue to them, and without waiting for them to speak, he hugged Liu Heng's Huang *** from the arms of Liu Heng's wife.

"The eldest nephew will be put in my house for two days. I have already informed Uncle Liu and Liu Heng about this, and they have all agreed. Uncle Liu's Yujue is proof of this. ”

An Ziluo's sister frowned when she saw that Kou Ji was going to take her son away, looking puzzled, and wanted to ask Kou Ji for clarification.

Liu Heng's main room stopped her.

After Liu Heng's main room stopped An Ziluo's sister, he bowed slightly to Kou Ji and said, "My son is naughty, if the noise hits you, please don't be surprised." ”

Kou Ji didn't say anything, hugged Liu Heng's son and walked out.

An Ziluo's sister wanted to rush up, but was dragged by Liu Heng's main room.

"A barbarian girl is a barbarian girl, and she has no brains at all!"

Kou Ji broke into the house late at night and didn't do anything, just hurriedly took Liu Heng's son, what did this portend, Sister An Ziluo couldn't see it, but Liu Heng's main room was clear.

Obviously, there is a monstrous disaster that is about to befall Liu's head.

Nine out of nine have something to do with the palace.

Kou Ji took Liu Heng's son away to protect him.

Otherwise, a privy envoy in the middle of the night ran to your house to take away your son, and he was full of food?

After Liu Heng's main room stopped An Ziluo's sister, he immediately ordered the people in the house.

"Call all the housekeepers to the wall, and if there is a wicked person who breaks into the house, he will beat him out. If someone comes to the palace, open the door and let the family in. ”

Liu Heng's main room is everyone's best girl after all, and he knows what to do at the critical moment.

Everything that happened in Liu's mansion, Kou Ji didn't know.

After Kou Ji hugged Liu Heng's son, he left Liu's mansion and immediately instructed the groom to drive the carriage to the outside of Bianjing City.

When passing through the Jinshui River, I saw the two battalions of soldiers and horses from the west camp outside Bianjing City entering Beijing.

The groom also saw the two battalions of soldiers and horses, and knew that something big might happen in Bianjing City tonight, so the groom urged the horses pulling the cart to run quickly, wanting to leave the right and wrong place of Bianjing City as soon as possible.

The groom drove the carriage out of Bianjing City all the way and returned to the house.

Kou Ji entered the mansion with Liu Heng's son in his arms, and instructed Menzi to close the door of Kou's mansion and close the door to thank guests.

Xiang Yan was about to give birth, and after Kou Ji entered the mansion, he didn't dare to alarm Xiang Yan.

He carried Liu Heng's son to the backyard and handed Liu Heng's son to the backyard to take care of.

After doing this, Kou Ji breathed a sigh of relief and looked in the direction of the palace.

There was a fire in the palace, and the light of the fire reflected half the sky.

From a distance, Kou Ji couldn't see that the one in the palace was on fire, but he vaguely speculated.

Eighty percent is the dormitory of Concubine Yang.

Zhao Zhen can't expose his shortcomings, so he needs a suitable excuse to kill.

Concubine Yang's death should be a good excuse.

burned Concubine Yang's bedroom and burned everything about Concubine Yang.

How Concubine Yang died, Zhao Zhen has the final say.

"Hey......"

Concubine Yang's dying admonition, Zhao Zhen probably didn't listen to it.

After all, he is going to make the next killing.

Kou Ji sighed, didn't say anything, and went into the study alone.

The fire in the palace burned overnight until dawn the next day, when it was slowly extinguished.

The palace group where Concubine Yang lived was burned clean.

The Manchu civil and military hurried to the palace the moment the fire rose.

Just when he arrived at the gate of the palace, he was stopped by the guards guarding the gate.

The Manchu civil and military stood outside the palace gate, staring at the fire in the palace and watching it all night.

Until the sun was rising, Chen Lin appeared outside the palace with a gloomy face.

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Chen Lin, what happened in the palace?"

Chen Lin looked around at the ministers, and said coldly: "The beauty Chen family, the royal maiden Su family, teamed up with Liu Mei and Liu Congmei's father and son, and brutalized the noble concubine Zhang and the beauty Han.

When I went to kill Jieyu Zhang last night, I was broken by Concubine Yang.

They acted recklessly, harmed Concubine Yang, and burned down Concubine Yang's bedroom.

Now, the beauty Chen and the royal maid Su have been killed by the official staff, and the eunuchs and palace ladies involved in them have also been executed by the officials.

Liu Mei and Liu Congmei, father and son, have been imprisoned in the palace by the official family to eliminate their tongues, ears, and noses.

The official family has a purpose, the criminal department, the military department, and send people to escort the nine clans of the beauty Chen family and the nine clans of the royal maid Su family into Beijing.

The official family has a purpose, and the criminal department and the official department send people to the northwest to depose all the officials and lords of Ningguo Liu Heng, cut them to commoners, and then escort them into Beijing. The nine clans of the Liu family were all arrested.

After being escorted into Beijing, they were imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department. ”

After listening to Chen Lin's words, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu was dumbfounded.

The beauty Chen family, the royal maid Su family, and the cruelty of Zhang Guifei and Han Meiren, they can understand.

It's nothing more than a battle in the court, in order to be on top and for favor, the women in the harem can do everything.

But how could Liu's father and son be involved?

Isn't Liu Congmei missing?

Why did it suddenly appear?

Why was Concubine Yang also involved and killed?

Chen Lin didn't explain the reason clearly, how could the Manchu civil and military believe it?

Wang Zeng stared at Chen Lin and asked, "Chen Lin, Liu's father and son are ministers and men, how can they get into the harem?" ”

Chen Lin glanced at Wang Zeng, gritted his teeth and said: "It's not the slut of the Chen family, when the comprador sent things into the palace, he bought off a few cheap maids and sent the Liu father and son to the palace."

Our family has ordered someone to chop those cheap women into meat puree. ”

Lu Yijian and the others frowned when they heard this.

Zhang Zhibai said in a deep voice: "As far as the old man knows, the procurement comprador has always been controlled by you Chen Lin. Someone else can send people into the palace right under your nose? ”

Chen Lin said angrily: "Our family was negligent for a while, and let the wicked succeed, our family has already pleaded guilty to the official family, and the official family has dismissed our family from the position of serving the province." ”

Lu Yijian stared at Chen Lin and asked, "How did Concubine Yang break through this matter?" ”

Chen Lin narrowed her eyes and said, "When Concubine Yang went to see the Queen Mother, she happened to bump into the thieves meeting. ”

Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "The old man wants to know the detailed process of this matter!" ”

Chen Lin glanced at Lu Yijian and said, "The official family doesn't let our family say much, if you want to know the detailed process of this matter, you have to go to the official family." ”

When Lu Yijian heard this, he immediately said, "Then you will take the old man to see the official's house." ”

Chen Lin said in a deep voice: "The official family has an order to drop out of the dynasty for ten days." ”

When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard this, they were in an uproar.

Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "The old man thinks that this case is full of suspicions, and if the official family starts killing because of this, it will be inappropriate for the uncle. It is even more inappropriate for the official family to drop out of the dynasty because of this.

Chen Lin, you lead the way, and the old man is going to meet the official. ”

Chen Lin said in a stiff tone: "The official family said it, but no one saw it." ”

Lu Yijian said angrily: "The official family has not thoroughly investigated this case, so they have opened a killing ring and spread it, how to convince the public?" The old man would never look at such a mediocre act of the official family.

If you don't lead the way, the old man will go to the official house himself. ”

Chen Lin's face turned slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't blame our family for not reminding you, the official family is angry now, and if you go in now, you won't be able to get anything good." ”

Lu Yijian's brows furrowed for a moment.

If it was before, Lu Yijian would definitely not hesitate to ask to enter the palace.

But as Zhao Zhen's majesty became more and more domineering, Lu Yijian did not dare to touch Zhao Zhen's head easily.

angered Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen dismissed him, then that's it.

Above the court, except for Zhao Zhen, no one is indispensable.

When anyone is deposed, a new candidate will be replaced.

Lu Yijian hesitated.

Wang Zeng opened his mouth at this time: "The official family handed over the case in the palace to Kou Ji to investigate, since the official family refuses to see us, then you go and call Kou Ji out and let us see us." ”

When Chen Lin heard this, he said in a deep voice: "The privy envoy Kou Ji investigated the case unfavorably, causing Concubine Yang to suffer from adulterers, and the official family expelled him from the palace last night and ordered him to be grounded in the palace. ”

When Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai heard this, their brows furrowed even tighter.

Who is Kodjina?

Zhao Zhen's brother who admitted himself can wear a pair of pants if he is good with Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen has now grounded him in the house, which means that Zhao Zhen is very angry.

Zhao Zhen was very angry, and it was even more difficult for them to touch Zhao Zhen's moldy head.

The three of them looked at each other.

Lu Yijian opened his mouth and said, "Go to Kou Mansion to find Kou Ji?" ”

Wang Zeng thought for a moment and nodded.

The three of them immediately dismissed the hundred officials and hurried to the Koufu Courtyard in a carriage.

After Chen Lin stared coldly at the three of them, he crossed the Jinshui Bridge and let people seal the door of the palace.

After Lu Yijian and the three of them drove all the way to the Koufu Annex, they saw that the door of the Koufu Courtyard was closed.

"Kou Ji is obviously closing the door, if we break in, I'm afraid we will recruit Kou Zhun again, what should we do now?"

Lu Yijian said with a solemn face when he saw that the gate of the Kou Mansion was closed.

Wang Zeng pondered for a moment and said, "It stands to reason that Concubine Zhang and Han Meiren were killed, and the prince in their womb also died tragically in the womb, and Concubine Yang was killed. It is reasonable for the official family to go on a killing spree because of this. ”

Zhang Zhibai said in a deep voice: "But a beauty, a royal maid, plus the Liu family and his son, really have such great ability to make such a big move in the palace?" ”

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng pursed their lips and did not speak.

They have the same questions in their hearts as Zhang Zhibai.

If a beauty, a royal maid, plus Liu's father and son, murdered Han Meiren, they would be able to believe it.

can add Zhang Guifei and Yang Taifei's words, they don't believe it.

If Zhang Guifei really died in their hands, then after Zhang Guifei was killed, they would have been dug up long ago.

Lu Yijian and the three of them didn't think that a beauty, a royal maid, and Liu's father and son could hide Chen Lin's ears and eyes, and they could hide the eyes and ears of others in the palace.

Wang Zeng glanced at Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai left and right, and said: "Even though Chen Meiren is guilty of heinous crimes, the imperial heir in her womb is not guilty, and it is really inappropriate for the official family to kill Chen Meiren with a rod because of this." ”

Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai nodded in unison.

It is very rare that the death rate of the royal heirs is so high.

Each one is a precious treasure.

Zhao Zhen killed Chen Meiren with such a hasty cane, and Lu Yijian and the three naturally felt that it was inappropriate.

Lu Yijian frowned and said, "Now except for the people in the palace, only Kou Ji knows the hidden secret. The official family can't come out, and we can't even enter the palace gate. Kou Ji closed the door to thank the guests, and with Kou Zhun in the way, we couldn't even enter the door.

Where do we go to find out the truth about this? ”

Wang Zeng looked at Zhang Zhibai thoughtfully, "You are Kou Tianci's husband, I don't know if you can use this to come to the door?" ”

Zhang Zhibai thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll try ......"

Zhang Zhibai got out of the carriage, arrived in front of the door of Kou's mansion, knocked on the door, and said loudly: "The old man is Kou Tianci's husband......

As soon as these words came out, the door of the Kou Mansion Courtyard instantly opened.

The doorman of the Koufu Courtyard respectfully saluted Zhang Zhibai.

"Mr. is polite, the villain will go and call the little master out."

Zhang Zhibai exhaled and said to Menzi: "The old man doesn't see your little master, the old man is here to find your young master." ”

When Menzi heard this, he smiled bitterly, "The young master said that he would not see the guests. ”

Speaking of this, Menzi glanced at the carriage not far behind Zhang Zhibai and added, "Especially the three of you......"

Zhang Zhibai said in a deep voice: "Isn't he the old man?" ”

Menzi hesitated for a moment and said, "Although the young master doesn't want to see the three of you, he left a word for the three of you." ”

Zhang Zhibai was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What words?" ”

Menzi imitated Kou Ji's tone and said: "Don't be so curious, let the official kill whoever he wants, it won't affect the government or the court." ”

Zhang Zhibai's face changed in an instant, and he shouted: "It is about the comfort of the three imperial heirs, how can I, as an auxiliary minister, not ask." Quickly went to help the old man pass the gift, and said that the old man wanted to see him. ”

Menzi smiled bitterly, confessed, closed the door, and went to pass.

After a while, Menzi opened the door again and said to Zhang Zhibai: "The young master said, if you want to die, don't pull him up." ”

When Zhang Zhibai heard this, his face changed again.

This time, Zhang Zhibai did not ask to see Kou Ji, but instead bowed his hand to Menzi.

Menzi was flattered, bent his waist all the way to ninety degrees, and bowed deeply to Zhang Zhibai, and when he looked up again, Zhang Zhibai had already left the gate of the Koufu Courtyard.

Zhang Zhibai returned to the carriage.

Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian immediately asked, "How?" ”

Zhang Zhibai shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Kou Ji doesn't want to see the old man. ”

Lu Yijian asked, "He didn't say anything?" ”

Zhang Zhibai said: "He told us not to be so curious, whoever the official family wants to kill, let the official family kill him." Whoever asks about this will have to move their heads. ”

"Hiss......"

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng gasped together, the two glanced at each other, and Lu Yijian spoke: "There is really something hidden in this matter......

Wang Zeng said in a deep voice: "The official family is killing on a large scale, and Kou Ji is afraid to avoid it. I'm afraid the secret behind it is not as simple as Chen Lin said. ”

Lu Yijian frowned and said, "Do we still have to ask questions?" ”

Zhang Zhibai took the lead in shaking his head.

Lu Yijian asked curiously, "You don't want to find out the hidden secret?" ”

Zhang Zhibai said frankly: "Kou Ji said that this matter will not affect the situation of the court, nor will it affect the government. Why are we chasing after it? Just to satisfy our curiosity? ”

Lu Yijian said solemnly: "It is about the lives of the three imperial heirs and hundreds of people......

Zhang Zhibai said in a deep voice: "The crimes that Chen Lin said are enough to make the convicted people of the nine clans punished. Not to mention the crimes hidden behind the scenes.

We will ask the bottom of the matter to the end, not only will it not affect the result, but we may even have to get into it.

Are you sure, you're still going to ask? ”

Lu Yijian was stunned for a moment, and his words were a little stuttering.

"Three Heirs ......"

"The three imperial heirs have been stillborn, and the purpose of our inquiry is nothing more than to ensure the safety of the future imperial heirs. Now that the official family has given the real culprit, it means that the matter has been investigated. There is no need for us to worry about the safety of the future emperor's heir. ”

"But Concubine Yang's death is unknown......

"What's not clear? Didn't the officials say it? It was the beauty Chen and the royal daughter Su who colluded with Liu's father and son to assassinate them. ”

Lu Yijian glared at Zhang Zhibai in astonishment, "Can you believe this?" ”

Zhang Zhibai said in a deep voice: "If the official family asks us to believe it, we will believe it." ”

Lu Yijian opened his mouth, and he was about to speak.

Zhang Zhibai shouted in a low voice: "Speaking of which, I don't believe that you two don't understand the hidden meaning. Do you have to make the officials lose face before you are willing? ”

The three of them weren't stupid.

Kou Ji's words have been pointed through.

There is inevitably a royal scandal behind it.

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji are obviously hiding the truth behind them.

If they get to the bottom of it, ask the truth, and make Zhao Zhen lose face, they will definitely not be pleased.

What's more, as the imperial party and Zhao Zhen's most loyal supporters, they made Zhao Zhen lose face, which is not good for them or the imperial court.

After Wang Zeng figured out the joints, he said almost without hesitation: "The Chen family is hateful, the Su family deserves to die, and the Liu family and his son should be cut with a thousand cuts." ”

The king had used his words to show his attitude.

Although speaking with a clear conscience is a bit contrary to his principles of life.

But it's about the face of the monarch's father, and his principle is nothing.

Lu Yijian pursed his lips and said with some interest: "I'm just a little unwilling......"

Curiosity is something we all have.

The Imperial Palace is definitely a place that everyone up and down the Great Song Dynasty wants to explore.

Some secrets in the palace are definitely what everyone up and down the Great Song Dynasty wants to know.

Lu Yijian is a human being and has curiosity.

The secrets of the palace were revealed, and he naturally wanted to see the whole picture.

When Zhang Zhibai and Wang Zeng heard this, they all glared at Lu Yijian.

Lu Yijian coughed dryly: "I know the seriousness of the matter......

Zhang Zhibai and Wang Zeng withdrew their gazes.

Lu Yijian smacked his lips and said, "The three of us gave up asking about this matter, for fear that others would not give up." ”

Wang Zeng said unceremoniously: "If you want to die, let them die." Just to make room for those who don't talk much and can do things. ”

Lu Yijian said in disgust: "You are so cold-blooded! ”

Wang Zeng sneered: "It's far worse than you, when you patrol the world, I can't count the people you killed." ”

Lu Yijian said disdainfully: "I killed all the people who should be killed." ”

Wang Zeng snorted coldly: "A group of things that don't know whether they are dead or alive, they don't have any eyes at all, and they rush up to touch the official's moldy head at this time, don't they deserve to die?" ”

Lu Yijian pursed his lips and did not speak again.

The three of them sat in the carriage and fell silent for a moment.

After a long time, Wang Zeng suddenly spoke, "I'm afraid that this matter will end in the end, and it will not end well." ”

Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai nodded in unison.

Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "Liu Heng is a medicine puppet!" ”

Leave aside the dead in the palace.

The people Zhao Zhen wants to kill are the key, and the most critical of them is Liu Heng.

Zhao Zhen dismissed Liu Heng and escorted him back to Beijing, and he was going to behead Liu Heng.

Liu Heng and Kou Ji are commensurate with each other, and the two have a lifelong friendship.

If Zhao Zhen beheaded Liu Heng, Kou Ji would come out to intercede.

If there is a conflict between the monarch and the minister because of this, it will be a super earthquake that will spread throughout the government and the opposition.

The three of them knew a lot about Kou Ji, knew what kind of power Kou Ji controlled in his hands, and knew how capable Kou Ji was.

"If he wants to make a fuss, who can stop him?"

Lu Yijian asked faintly.

Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai thought about it for a while, and said in unison: "Kou Gong! ”
