Qin Ye bowed down and thanked the Cheng clan for his great kindness.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief, and sending Qin Ye into the palace was even smoother than he expected.

Jiang Chengyi calmed down, said a few more words to Qin Ye, and then it was time for the palace gate to be locked. When he left the palace, it was already dark, and not long after returning to the Jiang Mansion at night, Xue Qing got the news from the palace, saying that the Marquis of Huaiyin handed a folded note to Emperor Wei.

Jiang Chengyi lifted his heart and immediately asked, "Your Majesty has seen the post?" ”

Xue Qingxun sat in the hall, supporting his legs with both hands and said, "Mr. Cui has blocked it." Your Majesty never had the opportunity to see the letter. ”

Jiang Chengyi lowered his eyes, and after thinking about it, he said shallowly, "Who is the music discount in whose hands it is now?" ”

"In the hands of Wei Wei Yue Huan." Xue Qing replied.

Jiang Chengyi's tense expression relaxed, and he put down his heart and said, "Yue Huan is His Majesty's person, so he must be fine." ”

Xue Qing frowned slightly, looking hesitant, as if he had something to say.

Jiang Chengyi picked up the wine bottle in front of him, took a sip of cold wine, and the hot part of his heart instantly cooled down, and glanced at Xue Qing, seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, he asked, "But you have something to say?" If so, don't hide it. ”

Xue Qing said, "My subordinates recently discovered that Wei Wei Yue Huan... I did a strange thing half a month ago. ”

Jiang Chengyi's hand holding the wine bottle trembled, and he immediately raised his eyes to stare at him and said, "How strange?" ”

Xue Qing said with a sad face, "Two days ago, news came from the pavilion that the traces of Yue Huan's Praetorian Guards had been found in Baqiu. ”

"Praetorian Guard?" Jiang Chengyi's dark eyes sank, and he doubted in his heart, "Could it be Your Majesty's order?" But what does Baqiu need His Majesty to send the Praetorian Guard? ”

"This is also something that subordinates don't understand." Xue Qing continued, "After that, Xue Bi tried to search for the traces of the Praetorian Guards, but found that they had disappeared from Baqiu without a trace. ”

Jiang Chengyi lowered his head and pondered, and after a moment of repeated guessing, a possibility suddenly appeared in his mind that made him creep, "A few days ago... Did Qianshan send the news back to the cabinet and ordered the Qianji led by the wind to find the traces of Lingling Taishou Zhang Pai at the time of the Battle of Quanling? ”

Xue Qing nodded and replied, "Yes, the news of the Thousand Machines will be passed on to the hands of his subordinates." Qian Shan did give this order. ”

"And what are the results?" Jiang Chengyi's face looked nervous.

Xue Qing looked puzzled, frowned and said, "Zhang Xian and his wife and the elders of the Zhang family were sent to live in the villa outside the city half a month before the Battle of Quanling, and they were guarded by thugs and were not allowed to return to the city. ”

"Who hired the thugs?"

Xue Qing said, "According to the judgment, it should be sent by King De." ”

"Judgment? Didn't the breeze find out who sent the thug? Jiang Chengyi asked sharply.

"This matter... Isn't it obvious, but the man of the king? Xue Qing was a little stunned by the question, and stammered a little between his words.

Jiang Chengyi frowned, and his face was pale, "The wind can have a record of life, the dress of those thugs?" ”

Xue Qing nodded and said, "I remembered." ”

"Tell me about it."

Xue Qing looked hesitant and said ashamedly, "The subordinates didn't check carefully. ”

Jiang Chengyi said in disbelief, "Xue Qing, you have never made such a mistake. ”

"The subordinates will find the dossier." As soon as the words fell, Xue Qing rushed out of the hall and walked all the way around the corridor to the cabinet.

Jiang Chengyi held the porcelain pot, ate bottles of cold wine one after another, and slowly calmed down the panic in his heart. When Xue Qing panted and took the bamboo roll, his flat heart hung up at one time.

His face was calm, and his voice gradually mixed with frost, and he said coldly to Xue Qing, "Read." ”

Xue Qing, who had just sat down, hurriedly opened the bamboo scroll and read what Gui Zong said, "The people of my pavilion are looking for, and hundreds of people are imprisoned in the Lingling Taishou Zhang family in the mountain villa, and they are not allowed to enter or leave. Violators shall be punished with whipping. Taishou Zhang fought hard and was accused by hundreds of people, and was seriously injured. Today, I know that hundreds of its men are dressed in peasant clothes, with long swords, and official boots, and are military attachés. The beater's long sword is a silver iron soft sword, which has killed countless injuries and is sent by the royal family. ”

"Silver-iron soft sword?" Jiang Chengyi grasped the key point, and he was even more hesitant.

Xue Qing was also shocked at this time, "What the Praetorian Guard can wear... Silver-iron soft sword? Son... Could it be that the Praetorian Guards who disappeared in Baqiu... Went to Quanling? However, why did His Majesty send the Praetorian Guard to Quanling? Could it be that the battle of Quanling, Your Majesty knows? "Read

Jiang Chengyi's dark eyes were frosty, and his heart was slightly cold, "Today, I entered the palace and mentioned in front of Your Majesty that the Battle of Quanling was captured by Ning Nankun, and Your Majesty didn't know about it at all. If Yue Huan is not under His Majesty's orders, then there is only one possibility, Yue Huan is the person of King Huai. ”

Xue Qing was stunned and said confusedly, "But... Before the fine work around His Majesty... Hasn't it been found out by the girl? Is it the royal ink vegan in front of the palace? ”

"Quansu is indeed a fine work sent by the Huai Wangfu, and it is hidden deeply, after all, it is an old man who came out of the East Palace with His Majesty, if it weren't for the serious injury in His Majesty's paddock four years ago, he might not have been exposed. But it has long been exposed, and His Majesty knows it. At the beginning, the reason why Xue Bi came to the capital was known by Yegong Pavilion within a few days was because His Majesty deliberately revealed the matter to Quan Su, which caused Xue Bi to fall into a trap and was almost exposed. This matter is completely deliberately set up by His Majesty for Ah Luo, just to see if Ah Luo is as rumored, and whether he is loyal to him and can be manipulated. After the Qingxiang affair was over, A Luo Xiu wrote a letter explaining the ins and outs of Qingxiang, and the evidence pointed directly to Vegan, which removed this thorn in the flesh for His Majesty, and calmed His Majesty's suspicions. However, this does not mean that there are no other spies around His Majesty. ”

Xue Qing suddenly remembered Ning Nan's folded sticker, and hurriedly reminded, "Isn't that Huaiyin Hou's sticker?" ”

"King Ruode and the Marquis of Huaiyin had an accident at the same time. King Huai must choose to protect King Ning Nankun. This post will definitely be forged by Yue Huan. Maybe tomorrow, what will be presented to His Majesty is a confession note. But, fortunately, as soon as this piece of music arrived in his hands, Yue Huan should not have reported it to Ning Zheng so quickly. It was not so fast to find someone who could imitate the handwriting of the Marquis of Huaiyin. Jiang Chengyi said as he stood up, got down from the low couch and quickly put on his shoes, and instructed Xue Qing, "Prepare a set of night clothes for me." I personally went to Yuefu. ”

"Childe, let your subordinates go to this matter." Xue Qing followed behind Jiang Chengyi, full of shame.

Jiang Chengyi glanced at him and said, "The Yue Mansion is heavily defended, and all the people in his mansion are masters. Xue Qing, don't take on tasks that you can't take. ”

"But, Childe..." Xue Qing wanted to say something, but Jiang Chengyi interrupted without hesitation, "If you really want to help me, stay in the mansion." That Yue Huan is a very shrewd person. If I am accidentally discovered by him, I need you to prepare for me in the house. ”

After the words fell, Jiang Chengyi quickly returned to the backyard.

Xue Qing sighed, went to the secret room helplessly, prepared a set of night clothes for Jiang Chengyi, and quickly sent Jiang Chengyi over.

The night is thick, looking up at the sky, the stars and the moon are shining, and a wonderful light shines on the earth.

Jiang Chengyi took the matching sword, changed into night clothes, and placed a small beast copper stove in the courtyard, lit a stick of incense, and instructed Xue Qing that if the incense burned three sticks, he would immediately wait for someone to find him before he returned. Then he jumped onto the roof and blended into the dark night.

Xue Qing stood in the courtyard, watching him leave, feeling both uneasy and ashamed. If he had been a little more careful, he would have been able to associate the Janissaries with the silver-iron soft sword... It will not make Jiang Chengyi take such a risk tonight. He guarded the incense of the green furnace and obediently waited for Jiang Chengyi to return.

He had never felt that the three pillars of incense were so long before, and he became more and more restless as he watched the fire burn to the bottom.

One stick of incense burned out, Xue Qing lit the second pillar of incense, and burned out the third stick of incense. Jiang Chengyi still hasn't returned. Xue Qing immediately got up, held the sword in his hand, showed light skills, and jumped on the roof to prepare to go out of the house to look for it.

"Xue Qing."

There was a sudden call from behind him, so he turned around suddenly, only to see Jiang Chengyi returning to the mansion for a long time, standing intact in the courtyard, looking at him with the corners of his mouth bent.

Xue Qing's uneasy heart fell to the ground in an instant, he exhaled deeply, jumped down from the roof, and looked at the dark robe in front of him, but the tall and unparalleled, handsome and extraordinary man knelt down and bowed, "Childe!" ”

Jiang Chengyi saw that he suddenly worshiped himself, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, "Why do you suddenly worship me?" ”

He bent down and helped Xue Qing up.

Xue Qing's face turned red, and he felt guilty, "If it weren't for the fact that his subordinates were not careful, the son would not have to take this risk himself." ”

Jiang Chengyi said gently, "There is no need to be so flustered. Just pay attention next time. ”

Xue Qing heard that there was no blame in his tone, so he put his mind at ease, and saw that Jiang Chengyi was empty-handed, so he said strangely, "Childe... Didn't steal the sticker? ”

Jiang Chengyi raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't have to take it." That note is already the confession of the Marquis of Huaiyin. ”

Xue Qing was shocked, "Yue Huan is moving so fast? ”

"It's not that Yue Huan is fast, it's that we all underestimate Ah Luo's husband." Jiang Chengying smiled, looking at the bright moon hanging in the sky, his eyes were deep.

Xue Qing looked puzzled, "What does Childe mean by this?" ”

"Do you still remember that half a month ago, the prince entered the palace late at night to meet His Majesty because of the secret report that King Huai had a secret connection with the Xiongnu in private?" Jiang Chengyi said softly.

"Subordinates remember."

"It was King Huai who deliberately revealed the news to the crown prince, and it was still late at night. The purpose is to let the prince enter the palace to meet His Majesty. ”

"Why did King Huai deliberately tell the prince the news of his communication with foreign tribes?"

"Let me ask you, why does Your Majesty trust Yue Huan?" Ning Nanwei did not answer Xue Qing directly, but asked a question instead.

"Because Yue Huan once went out with His Majesty, who was still the crown prince at the time, to fight the border pass and fight against the Xiongnu. In that battle... Yue Huan sacrificed his life to save His Majesty, and almost died of serious injuries. Yue Huan is loyal to His Majesty in everything, so His Majesty trusts Yue Huan very much. ”

"Then why, after His Majesty ascended the throne later, he appointed Yue Hua as the guard captain, but did not reuse Yue Huan, but reused Sanyu?"
