The case of the slaughter of the village was revealed, and the government and the opposition were shaken, and no one was surprised that there were still people who dared to commit such a bloody crime in broad daylight!

When the father and son in Tongcun woke up, they were summoned by Emperor Xuan, and above the court, the father and son complained bitterly, Emperor Xuan was furious, and ordered Liu Xu and Liu Yu to investigate the matter thoroughly, and it was necessary to find out the matter!

At the same time, Emperor Xuan also sent someone to protect the safety of the father and son, if anyone dares to try to kill people again, they will not be forgiven!

As soon as the case happened, Liu Xu sent people to Tongcun to investigate the situation, and now with the order of Emperor Xuan, he can leave to Tongcun to investigate the truth.

For those who heard about this shocking bloody case for the first time, their hearts were naturally extremely angry, but for those who had vaguely heard about it before, or participated in it, now is the moment of fear!

No one knew that person would be so bold, no one knew what Liu Xu would find out about this trip, no one knew how the situation would evolve this time, and no one knew how many people would be implicated in this matter!

One of these panicked people was Liu Ling, and after going down to court this time, he immediately came to the harem to see Concubine Yun.

"Why are you so flustered?" Yun Concubine was painting, but it was rare for her son to show such a panicked expression.

Liu Ling paused, glanced at the people who were waiting around, and said coldly: "Go out!"

The subordinates are blessed and retreat.

Yun Concubine was still depicting the lotus flowers, and asked lightly, "What's the matter?" Could it be that your Lady Fleur is in trouble again?"

Liu Ling was silent for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "Mother, something happened." ”

"Tell me, it's going to get worse. Yun Concubine said lightly.

"Qianhou is only afraid that something is going to happen. Liu Ling said, "I suspect that the matter of Tongcun has something to do with him. ”

"Tong Village, what Tong Village?" Yun Concubine asked with a frown.

Liu Ling told Concubine Yun about Tongcun, paused and said, "Half a year ago, Qianhou told me about him looking for iron mines. ”

Qianhou has a close relationship with Yun Concubine, and the short answer is that Mrs. Qianhou is Yun Concubine's cousin, when she was able to enter the palace smoothly, she had to help Qianhou back then, she went all the way from a small talent to the concubine, and Qianhou also contributed behind the scenes.

Although Qianhou does not have real military and political power, but he is an imperial businessman, the industry is all over the Northern Xia, and he holds a lot of economic lifelines in the Northern Xia, although he has little real power, but he is exquisite, long-sleeved and good at dancing, many officials in Beijing have close contacts with him, and it is the support of Liu Ling's financial resources.

Yun Concubine's face changed greatly, although her status was demoted again and again, she never worried about her son, just because there was a supporter behind her son, Qianhou, if something happened to Qianhou, King Qin would not only lose an arm!

"Is there a way to keep Qianhou?" asked Yun Concubine, whose eyes rolled.

"If it is really found that there is definite evidence to prove that the slaughter of Tongcun was instigated by him, such a heinous crime, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who dares to intercede for him! The father and emperor are concerned about this case, who dares to engage in favoritism?" Liu Ling said, "Don't say that it is good to hold him and not be implicated!"

Yun Concubine's face changed again: "Did you know about this before?"

"My son is not a beast, nor is he a stupid person, such a big bloody case, if my son knew about it in advance, he would definitely not agree to him doing this!" Liu Ling said coldly, "This matter is his own doing, but his son has had close contacts with him over the years, if he has an accident and is found out, his son is afraid that he will not be involved." ”

"Since this bloody case has nothing to do with you, can King Qi still be wronged against you?" Yun Concubine said coldly, "Your father-in-law will watch King Qi do whatever she wants?"

The mother concubine underestimated the case of Tongcun this time. Liu Ling said, "It's not just Tu Village, behind this Tu Village is the iron mine." In the past, only the court could mine iron ore, but this time Qianhou Tu Village obviously wanted to monopolize that iron mine, so what did he want to do? Raise troops for self-respect or betray the country to seek glory? If it is involved in betrayal and rebellion, the impact will be even greater!"

"Now that it's happened. Yun Concubine said, "Now only the soldiers will cover the water and earth, one of them is to discuss with Qianhou now, test his tone, discuss how to deal with the aftermath, you should be very careful when looking for him, don't let others know." Second, we have been friends with Qianhou for so many years, and there must be a lot of evidence in his hands, and we can't cut off contact with him for a while, but you must also cut off what you can break off as much as possible, and be less implicated by it. The third is that if something really happens to the Marquis of Qian, and you can't be left alone, you will take the initiative to help King Qi find out the facts of the case as a witness, so as to make meritorious contributions and make your father soft-hearted. ”

"Yes, my son understands. Liu Ling said with his fists clenched.

"This matter has just begun, and Qianhou may handle it cleanly, but he may not be found out. Yun Concubine said, "At this time, remember to mess up. ”

"Yes. ”

After a pause, Concubine Yun continued: "How is the princess's health lately?"

At the mention of Shangguan Yu'er, Liu Ling's nervous look on his face eased a little, and he paused and said, "Her body is fine, but she vomits a lot and doesn't eat much." ”

"This palace vomited a lot when she was pregnant with you. Yun Concubine said, "Let the imperial doctor ask for a pulse every day, don't force her if she can't eat, just come over for this time." ”

Yun Concubine's face became a little more stern, and she said: "Let Fu Rui stay away from her, you go back and tell Fu Rui that if the child in the princess's belly has three long and two short, whether it is related to her or not, this palace will not spare her!"

Liu Ling's face changed for a moment, and he spoke for Fu Yuan: "Mother Concubine, Fu Yuan is not that kind of person!"

"What kind of person she is, this palace knows better than you, you just have to pass the word to her like this!" Yun Concubine said coldly.

"Yes. Liu Ling sighed helplessly.

Leaving the palace, Liu Ling first went to Qianhou to test his tone.

The Qianhou Mansion was as luxurious and calm as ever, when Liu Ling arrived, Qianhou was still playing with the pitching pot, the sound of silk and bamboo on one side was constant, and on the other side was a group of dancing girls.

"Qianhou is so interested!" Liu Ling walked in and said with a faint smile.

"It's hard to get free, so naturally I want to relax!" Qianhou's laughter was very thick, his eyes were already smiling, and there was only a slit left when he smiled, but he couldn't hide the essence coming out of his eyes, he took a few steps towards Liu Ling with a fat belly, "Why is the prince free today?"

"Come and see you, it's been a long time since we've had a good drink together. Liu Ling picked up an arrow and threw it easily, "How is the business lately?"

"King Qin is so skilled!" Qianhou said with a smile, "It's still the same, Your Majesty deliberately suppressed and supported a lot of businesses, and this business is becoming more and more difficult to do!"

"There has been a big incident recently, I don't know if Qianhou has heard of it?" King Qin sat down and glanced at Qianhou and asked.

"What's the big deal, King Qin, let's talk about it, I'm busy with business all day long, and I ignore other things. Qianhou touched his big belly and smiled, sat down next to Liu Ling, and let his subordinates serve tea.

"Have you heard about Tong Village?" asked Liu Ling.

"A little bit of it. ”

"This king remembers that Qianhou told this king in half a year, you are looking for iron ore, right?" asked Liu Ling.

"Could it be that the King of Qin suspects that this matter has something to do with me?" Qianhou exclaimed, "You can't talk nonsense, although I like money, but it is also a good way to get it! I am a businessman, and I do everything to make money by being kind, and I don't have the courage to do such a big crime of raiding my family and destroying my clan!"

Liu Ling smiled faintly and said: "This king is just asking casually, after all, we are now people in the same boat, Qianhou doesn't have to be so nervous! If Qianhou has clues about this case, you can tell this king, after all, Qianhou has a wide range of connections!"

"Don't worry, definitely!" said Qianhou with his fists clenched.

Since Qianhou insisted that this matter had nothing to do with him, if he continued to talk about it, he would really doubt him. Liu Ling didn't continue to ask about this topic, of course, he didn't believe Qianhou's denial, he had already sent someone to Tongcun, and all the results would have to wait for the people sent out to send back the news.

After Liu Ling left, Qianhou irritably asked the dancing girls and singers to go down, at this time, a woman in red clothes came over, Ying Ying smiled and said: "Master Hou, why are you so angry?"

"I didn't expect things to be so big!" Qianhou said with a gloomy face, "Ben Hou doesn't know how to end up now! If the matter of Tong Village can't be contained, let King Qi find out, Ben Hou's years of business will be ruined, not to mention it, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to save my life!"

"This matter has not yet been decided, how can Hou Ye say such a frustrating thing! Tong Village is already in the end, King Qi has passed at this time, and he may not be able to find out the reason!" "The matchmaker smiled, "Besides, there is no turning back when you open the bow, if this matter is done, Hou Ye is rich and rivals the country, and in the future, in Northern Xia, it will turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands for rain, if he is defeated...... It can only be said that King Cheng has been defeated, but it is not so easy for King Qi to find out about this matter, so Hou Ye doesn't have to worry so much!"

"Ben Hou loves money and power, but he has always done the safest thing, this time after listening to your words, he gave it a go, and there would be such a big mistake!" Qianhou said angrily, "If something happens to Ben Hou, you will definitely be indispensable!"

"Originally, everything was perfect, and I could have imagined that two people had escaped and were escorted to the capital!"

"Send someone to keep an eye on King Qi!" Qianhou said coldly, "If he really finds out something, he won't be able to come back to the capital!"

"Don't worry, Hou Ye, I would have sent someone out to do this matter a long time ago!" the matchmaker smiled slightly and rubbed Qianhou's shoulder, "Hou Ye doesn't have to worry, this matter will definitely not implicate the prince, besides, if it really comes to that point, don't you still have King Qin behind you?"

The matchmaker's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a touch of coldness: "Take 10,000 steps back, Lord Hou, don't forget, how many people we still have in the capital, and how many ministers in the court and the central government have the handle in our hands, what is there to be afraid of!"

Qianhou's irritable mood was slightly soothed, he touched the matchmaker's weak and boneless little hand, and said with a smile: "It's still hello, you just don't follow your master, follow Benhou, Benhou won't treat you badly!"

The matchmaker smiled and nodded on Qianhou's face: "Your lady is afraid that she won't be happy!"

As he spoke, he saw a little guy running over in a hurry and said, "Master Hou, Madam is here!"

"What!" Qianhou's face changed.

The matchmaker smiled slightly: "Since Mrs. Hou is here, the slave family will retire!"

The matchmaker walked out of the Qianhou Mansion with her front foot, and was followed by someone with her back foot, she noticed the person behind her, and quickly stepped into a small alley, and her figure disappeared around the corner at once.

The man who was following frowned, and when she was about to leave, the matchmaker appeared on her, she played with her bright nails, her red lips opened lightly, and said with a smile: "What are you doing with me?"

The man clenched his fists and said, "Our master wants to see the girl." ”

"Who is your master?"

"King Qin!"

"It turned out to be King Qin!" said the matchmaker with a smile, "I don't see!"

"I don't know where this king offended the girl, the girl doesn't want to see this king like this?"

A joking voice came, and the matchmaker immediately turned around, looking at Liu Ling walking towards her, she smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness King Qin actually came to this small alley, and this simple alley is also full of brilliance!"

"What do you have to do with Qianhou?" Liu Ling approached, and when he was a step away from the matchmaker, he stopped and asked.

"The matchmaker is the top brand of the Tibetan Xianglou, and the Qianhou is naturally the benefactor of the slave family!" the matchmaker smiled lightly, "Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Qin is jealous of the slave family?"

"If it's just such a simple relationship, why be so sneaky?"

"Who doesn't know that the wife of Qianhou is a tigress, not sneaky, and she was caught, but she can't avoid being humiliated!" The matchmaker smiled slightly, "The prince blocked the slave family in this small alley, but is there anything else?"

"The king wants to tell the truth. Liu Ling said coldly, "It's okay if you don't tell the truth, then don't blame this king for using some means, to be honest, this king is also very distressed when he attacks beauties!"

"Lord Wang!" the matchmaker smiled coquettishly, "What do you want the slave family to say, the slave family really doesn't understand!"

"Really?" Liu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, "Take it back, and this king will explain to you slowly!"

"Lord Wang!" the matchmaker raised her hand and gently climbed Liu Ling's shoulder, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, what do you want to know, the slave family will tell you!
