() "Forgive the old slave for being ignorant, and he dare not figure out the prince's mind, besides, the old slave is just an ordinary man, and the prince is the king of a foreign country, how can he understand your mind? Even if you consciously guess a little, you don't dare to talk nonsense. ”

"Okay, let's get rid of the officialdom." Qi Yuan said, and continued: "I summoned you today, not for anything else, just for the matter of Xue Tan in Yangzhou, people only say that he has a heart of rebellion, I don't think it's like it." ”

"Besides, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have found out that there were so many corrupt officials in Yangzhou."

A chill appeared on Qi Yuan's face.

"Prince, this imperial history ......"

Gonggong Su frowned, and there were some doubts in his heart, "I'm afraid this imperial history is a little boring, he protects Xue Tan so much, isn't he afraid of offending the remnants of the Sixth Elder Brother and Dong Yu?" ”

"Hmph." Qi Yuan flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, "They did it, now that Xue Tan has returned to the palace and come to the capital again, even if the sixth elder brother wants to do it, he should think about whether it is necessary to ruin the plan for a Xue Tan who does not know the facts." ”

At this time, Dong Yu had been defeated, Dong Zhe stayed in Yangzhou to wait for beheading, and Dong Yu was also imprisoned in the dungeon.

If it weren't for the person who met the sixth elder brother that day, I'm afraid that Qi Yuan wouldn't have found out about the county order and Dujiang Du Governor so quickly, and at the same time, he also knew that the sin girl Ji had been making trouble from it.

"Grandpa Su, I want you to do something."

Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment before he spoke.

"Go and send someone to keep an eye on Yushi and Xue Tan."

"This ...... Why is that? ”

Gonggong Su looked puzzled, logically speaking, Xue Tan was originally a hero, and he should restore his reputation and become an official and a knight.

"Don't you understand my words?"

Qi Yuan's eyes were full of murderous intent, and the frightened father-in-law Su was startled.

"Yes, the old slave will do it."

Father-in-law Su hurriedly agreed to the promise and withdrew from the East Palace.

Originally, Qi Yuan set up a position to supervise the imperial history, hoping to supervise each other, and at the same time play a deterrent role, but now it seems that instead of playing a role, it has intensified.

The attitude of no one in the eyes of Xue Tan in Qingmu Palace that day also made Qi Yuan extremely dissatisfied, if it weren't for the fact that he had just made a meritorious service, Qi Yuan really wanted to be executed.

Qi Yuan remembered the conversation with Siniang when he was in Jinghong Building before.

According to Siniang, at that time in Yangzhou, I didn't hear anything about Xue Tan, and it seems that he has been living in Dujiang Mansion

It also made Qi Yuan suspicious.

Will Xue Tan be the next Dong Yu.

"Ugh."

Qi Yuan sighed, the moonlight was like frost, shrouding the entire East Palace in a snow-white and bright haze, Qi Yuan walked along the path in the palace all the way to the outside of the East Palace.

He didn't notice that he was already being targeted by a group of people behind him, hiding in a dark corner, silently watching.

"Dah."

The sound of a tile loosening caught Qi Yuan's attention.

Qi Yuan frowned, turned around and scolded angrily, "Who is there?" ”

As he spoke, Qi Yuan had already taken out a folding fan on his waist, this folding fan was not an ordinary fan, except for the carefully painted landscapes on the fan surface, the fan bones were made of metal, which was extremely sharp.

"Huh."

The figure in black flashed, jumped down from the room, and came to Qi Yuan's face.

"The prince is still so smart."

"You're the sixth man?"

Qi Yuan glanced up and down, the emaciated figure of the person in front of him, but there was a familiar smell.

"It's me, Prince."

The person who came pulled down the mask, looked around left and right, and looked at Qi Yuan with a smile.

"Chang Lei?"

Qi Yuan was also overjoyed, since Dong Yu sent troops to treason, Qi Yuan had not seen Chang Lei, including ordering him to lead people to hunt down Dong Yu, all of which were notified by the subordinates in the palace.

"Prince, it's inconvenient here."

The black lights are blinding, and the sneaky discussions between the two big men outside the East Palace are indeed a little inconvenient.

"Let's go, go back to the palace."

Qi Yuan didn't say much, and then took Chang Lei back to his bedroom.

Although the people in the palace had a surprised expression, they didn't dare to ask more when they saw that the prince didn't say a word.

"Chang Lei, I have something important to ask you."

As soon as he entered the room, Qi Yuan couldn't wait to open his mouth.

"That Xue Tan, can I be with you all the time?"

"Not really." Chang Lei frowned, Xue Tan was indeed mysterious sometimes, and he didn't know what he was doing, "Sometimes, he will go to Haichun Courtyard to meet a person named Qin Louyu." ”

"I know that."

Qi Yuan nodded, took out a letter and handed it to him.

"You take a look at this first."

Chang Lei frowned and finished reading it, with an extremely surprised look on his face

Feeling.

"Xue Tan even communicated with Du Jiang?"

"Hmm." Qi Yuan nodded, "A small county order in Yangzhou came up, saying that Xue Tan actually had an affair with Du Jiang and Du Governor's mansion, and it was related to General Dong Yu's rebellion at this time, I hope I can find out." ”

"How did you deal with it?"

Chang Lei didn't see it at all, and drank all the tea on the table.

"Of course I won't let go of such nonsense."

Qi Yuan glanced at him, "Besides, the superintendent I found also carefully interrogated, this Xue Tan offended this small county order when he first joined Yangzhou, and the county order obeyed Ji's words, and was bewitched by the sixth elder brother, thinking that if he pushed Du Jiang, he would be able to sit in a high position." ”

"Ji."

Chang Lei pondered for a while, "Isn't it the Ji of the Jinghong Building?" ”

"That's her." Qi Yuan was also a little surprised, "Didn't you see her when you were in Yangzhou?" ”

"Nope." Chang Lei shook his head, "Since she has been controlled as a hostage, Du Jiang naturally won't let us see her, otherwise the matter would have been exposed a long time ago, Xue Tan and I both know Ji, so naturally she can't appear." ”

"I see."

Qi Yuan nodded.

Du Jiang and Dong Yu have always wanted to use Ji to frame the sixth elder brother, but they didn't expect Ji to hide evil intentions and do things for the sixth elder brother wholeheartedly.

"Under the sixth man, there are two people."

Qi Yuan frowned, "It is said that these two people can not only plan the affairs of the world, but also control people's dreams, and witchcraft is rampant. ”

"And this thing?" Chang Lei suddenly became interested.

"Well, but I asked the sixth master."

Qi Yuan nodded, the sixth master in his mouth was naturally the only strategist under his command, "He said that this is controlled by medicine, in fact, he uses some herbs to quietly empty the daily meals of demagoguery, so as to achieve this purpose, it is said that in the Nanzhao region, there is indeed this kind of witchcraft." ”

"Nanzhao ......"

For the capital, Nanzhao is almost an unattainable place.

"What do you mean?"

"I want you to investigate."

Qi Yuan's face was embarrassed, after all, Chang Lei had just come back, and he was kicked out again. "The sixth master also said that this kind of witchcraft is not something that can be learned overnight, he knows that there is a person in Shuzhou who used to know this kind of witchcraft, but including him and the fourth brother under the sixth elder brother, have never known the specific process."
