After the embarrassed Yuan Hou Ye left the palace, he went straight to the prison.

At that time, Xie Fenghua was lying on the straw pile with his legs crossed, and when he saw him walking in, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly sat up straight, and said in surprise: "You're here!" ”

Yuan Minzhou snorted, and in her expectant gaze, he took out a stack of books from his arms and threw them away at random.

That expression is like a difference.

Xie Fenghua was in a good mood, and he didn't care about him, took the booklets and flipped through them, and sighed: "Our queen mother is really painstaking!" Look at what kind of Chen sesame rotten grains are recorded in this record, and she can still turn it out! ”

As she spoke, she rolled it up casually and threw it aside.

Yuan Minzhou's two eyebrows suddenly stood up, "You're like this?" ”

"Huh?" Xie Fenghua looked up with a confused face, and it took a long time to react, and he hurriedly pulled over the stack of books, smoothed the wrinkles on it, and then carefully received it in his arms, and said with a smile, "Master Hou, is this possible?" ”

Her smile seemed to be soaked in the sun, and as soon as it bloomed, it was full of radiance, especially the eyes that were amazingly bright, Yuan Minzhou suddenly felt dizzy and turned his head unnaturally.

"There is a part about the Ministry of Works, and I have someone copy it re-written." He paused, his voice changed, and he suddenly said, "Actually, your current appearance is more suitable for wagging your tail and holding grass!" ”

Xie Fenghua grinded his teeth with hatred, and his little fists creaked.

actually said that she was a dogleg!

Before her fist could swing out, Yuan Minzhou's words instantly extinguished the burning fire in her chest, "These things, it took so much effort to intercept them, and you are worthy of the hard work of me and Changying with such a casual roll?" ”

Xie Fenghua's sinister anger suddenly held back.

No way, the hands of people are short!

For the sake of him helping herself, she didn't care.

A smug smile rose at the corner of Yuan Minzhou's mouth, pulled a handful of straw from the side, sat down opposite her by himself, and said, "This time it can be said that it is a decisive victory in the middle of the strategy. You're pretty good! ”

Xie Fenghua hugged his fist at him, and said with a high spirit: "I have won the prize." Master Hou is the real master, and I'm just an axe. ”

That being said, she was also a little proud in her heart.

This deployment all relied on her understanding of Du Pingfei in her previous life. From the robbery to the escape, it seems to be full of coincidences, but only she knows how carefully and rigorously each step is designed.

She has been at the border all the year round, and her cognition of people and things in Tianjing comes from the letters written to her by her sister Yinghua. The child was also a thoughtful person, knowing that she was not dealing with Du Pingfei, and she didn't know where to find a bunch of information about the Du family, useful or useless, all written in the letters at the border gate. If you make it up, it is definitely a thick book.

So, she knew that there was an unfavored second young master Du Huaishao in Du Mansion, and she also knew that this second young master was suppressed by Du Huaisheng, and it was difficult to get ahead. She guessed that Changying's robbery might alarm the people of Du Mansion, and she spotted Du Huaishao's psychology of wanting to invite merit, and let Changying alarm him in advance.

After all, compared to Du Huaisheng, Du Huaishao is easier to grasp.

And just as she expected, Du Huaishao concealed the move of Changying to rob the prison, but it was also an excellent opportunity for them to ease and escape.

She still remembered that by Du Pingfei's side, there were four maidservants, and a clean guard. Among the maidservants, Feng He's medical skills are good, but Yue He is good at using poison, especially a poison called Qianbu drunk. Once Du Pingfei sends the people in her palace, in order to be able to kill people as quickly as possible, she will inevitably smear this poison on her weapon. And this poison is extremely toxic, if you can take the antidote in advance, it will not pose much of a threat.

Therefore, the first time Changying caught Wan Peng, he fed Wan Peng the antidote and saved his life first.

As for Xiao Yao's appearance, it was even more unexpected for her. Strictly speaking, Xiao Yao's life was saved by her, but Du Pingfei is usually a good person, and somehow he took the credit, and then he also got Xiao Yao's loyalty.

She knew that Xiao Yao would go back and forth between the Du Mansion and the palace at this time of year, for no other reason, just because he had been injured back then, and it hurt his lungs, and it could not be treated without the cold jade ice bed. And Du Pingfei spent a lot of money to send someone to find such a bed and placed it in the ice cellar of Du Mansion's big house, except for her, no one should have seen it.

Later, her sister Yinghua often climbed on the roof in the middle of the night to play, and when she mentioned Xiao Yao several times, she knew that the cold jade ice bed had not been moved to the palace. And once the long shadow passes over the roof, it is very likely that she will meet Xiao Yao who travels between the Du Mansion and the palace, with her understanding of Xiao Yao's skills, the only way to escape is to escape.

Therefore, under the incomprehension of Yuan Minzhou and Changying, she insisted that Changying put a coarse linen coat in her night clothes in order to escape into the crowd and avoid Xiao Yao's pursuit.

In addition, with her understanding of Du Pingfei, once Wan Peng was robbed and the plan to kill people failed, then she would definitely start from elsewhere and be caught off guard by returning to kill her.

And Xie Fu was originally just a scholarly family, and the only one who could give Du Pingfei a handle was Xie Zhengyun, who was an official in the court, except for her. Xie Zhengyun once served as a squire in the Ministry of Works, and was later transferred to the Ministry of War to assist Li Xiangrui in handling major affairs in the Ministry of War. If she wants to find the so-called "evidence of crime", the only way she can come up with to deal with it is to snatch and destroy.

Now, it seems, the plan is as she thought, and there are few flaws.

She grinned, and despite the modest words on her lips, her face could hardly hide the preponderance of the spirit.

Yuan Minzhou glanced at her meaningfully, and unabashedly admired her, "Xie family girl, your deployment this time can be called a model of the unpredictable prophet's clever calculations. If it were written in a book, it would have been sung almost 300 times in the heavenly capital. ”

Xie Fenghua laughed wryly, waved his hand and said, "I just hit it by mistake...... It's just a mistake......"

"You can bump into so many unknown things by mistake, your luck is really not ordinary." Yuan Minzhou quipped.

After Changying came back from the prison, he told him the whole story, from Du Huaishao to the man in black, everything seemed to be extremely accurate, so accurate that it could be attributed to good luck.

But is it just luck?

Yuan Minzhou felt that this was not the case.

It's not that he didn't think that these might have been taught to her by Xie Fenghua. But after thinking about it, Xie Fenghua is thousands of miles away, how can he know the people and things in Tianjing well?

Rao is in power, and he will not notice Du Huaishao's temperament, let alone predict the pursuit of the bow master in advance!

It doesn't seem too much to say that she is a prophet.

Xu is doubts were seen, Xie Fenghua's heart sank, and he quickly changed the topic, "Master Hou, how is Wan Peng?" ”

"It's fine." Yuan Minzhou said, "Although he was hit by a poisoned arrow, because of Changying's orders, he fed him an antidote in advance, and the toxin did not invade his lungs." Now it's just a skin injury. ”

Xie Fenghua nodded, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At the beginning, since Wan Peng was able to leak her marching deployment to the enemy army in the west, there must be a crucial figure behind it. She wants to uncover the truth of Ink Soul Valley, and Wan Peng is a very key witness.

However, relying on Wanpeng alone is far from enough.

If you can find the remaining soldiers in the Valley of Ink Souls, it will be easy.

Thinking of this, her heart moved, and she suddenly remembered a neglected place. At that time, due to the situation, she decided to divide her troops into two routes, one led by her to the Ink Soul Valley, and the other led by Dou Changke to fight against the elite division of the Western Prisoners.

But later, the elite division of Xilu intercepted and killed 80,000 soldiers in the Ink Soul Valley, so the soldiers under the command of Dou Changke should have escaped! But she didn't seem to hear the news about Dou Changke!

Xie Fenghua clenched his fists excitedly, and when he thought that Dou Changke and the others might still be alive, his heart seemed to beat violently. She grabbed Yuan Minzhou's hand suddenly, and said with a burning gaze: "Master Hou, you do me a favor!" ”

Yuan Minzhou had never seen her so happy, and he was curious for a while, and hurriedly asked, "What help?" ”

"Help me find someone." Xie Fenghua was so excited that his hands were shaking, but he didn't forget his identity, and after considering the words, he quickly said, "I heard my sister say that there was once a big commander in her army, named Dou Changke. This person is the son of Dou Shiqian, a family of Tianjing Jiangmen, and there is no news so far. I doubt he's alive! ”

Unlike her excitement, Yuan Minzhou's face showed a hint of solemnity.

He always felt that the woman in front of him was becoming more and more like a mystery, obviously growing up in the land of Tianjing well cover in the early years, but she was familiar with the affairs of the powerful people in Tianjing, especially the Du family. And at this moment, she is obviously trapped in the prison, but she can still accurately grasp the psychology and temperament of the queen of the dynasty, and she has a good chess hand.

And Du Pingfei, the queen of the dynasty, is not a simple character. Back then, she had the ability to support Zhao Pei to ascend to the throne of the emperor, and she was able to turn her hands into clouds and rain in the harem, but it was by no means just one person who could retreat from her hands.

But the man in front of him did it.

Yuan Minzhou began to be confused.

But this bit of confusion was only for a moment, Xie Fenghua quickly slapped him back to his senses, and said in an eager tone: "Master Hou, this favor, can you help, but give me a quasi-word!" ”

"Definitely help!" Yuan Minzhou gathered those doubts and said, "Since you want me to find someone, you have to give me a direction, right?" ”

As soon as the words came out, he felt funny again.

She doesn't go out of Tianjing all year round, how can she know where Dou Changke is!

But he didn't want to, Xie Fenghua had already said to himself, "As far as I know, Dou Changke has been following my sister all year round. If he is still alive, then where my sister died, he should be there. ”

After speaking, it was like a stone in her heart fell to the ground, she let out a long sigh, and didn't notice Yuan Minzhou's thick scrutinizing eyes.

This feeling is really weird!

Yuan Minzhou's eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly asked, "Now that no one is staring at you outside the prison, do you want to go back to the house with me?" ”

"No return." Xie Fenghua said without hesitation.

Du Pingfei didn't get any benefits, so he naturally wanted to send someone to the prison to find out. She hadn't seen this person for a long time, so she might as well wait for the rabbit.

I thought that Yuan Minzhou would persuade himself again, but he didn't want to, but he also smiled and said meaningfully: "Whatever you want!" Not to mention whether the Du family can guess that it was you behind your back, even if you can guess, you are too busy at the moment to take care of you. ”

Xie Fenghua immediately caught his off-string sound, and chased after him with great interest and asked, "Is there anything else you haven't told me about anything interesting?" ”

Yuan Minzhou didn't hide it from her, so he also told the entanglement between the Li Mansion and the Du family.

After Xie Fenghua listened, his eyes began to change when he looked at Yuan Minzhou.

"What's that look on your face? You're only allowed to calculate others, and I'm not allowed to play with it? Yuan Minzhou's tone was a little dangerous.

Xie Fenghua didn't dare to say anything, and shrunk his neck and asked, "Master Hou, at night, the little prince of the Li Mansion won't appear in the City God Temple for no reason, right?" ”

When she saw Yuan Minzhou's raised eyebrows, she knew that she had guessed correctly.

At first, her original intention was to let Changying take off her night clothes and blend in with the people, so as to avoid Xiao Yao's pursuit.

Who would have thought that the person in front of him was even more ruthless, and he actually seized this opportunity to arrest Li Xiangrui's youngest son and become an unlucky ghost under Xiao Yao's arrow. And Xiao Yao's conversation with Du Huaishao before leaving, which made the subordinates of the Li Mansion who could not explain grasp Du Huaishao's straw and made the matter bigger.

If Li Fu loses his son, he can only spill his anger on Du Huaishao. If Du Huaishao is willing to comply, then everything will be fine; If you are not willing to accept this arrangement, there are still many variables in this matter!

Although the Du family is powerful, if Li Xiangrui is pressed, I am afraid that the Du family will not be able to bear the corresponding consequences.

What's more, Du Huaishao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, hasn't this already begun to take action?

She suddenly looked forward to the moment of civil unrest in the Du family!

And after calming down, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt.

In the past, she had only heard that the Marquis of Dingyuan was wise and close to demons, but now that she had really seen it, she felt that she was usually too arrogant - just with the things she did to him, she was strangled and teased, and it was not enough to die no matter how many times she really had to die.

She was used to killing people with knives, but she didn't expect Yuan Minzhou to play with power and kill without seeing blood. If this offends him in the future, won't you even know how to die?

Thinking of this, she suddenly moved back, moving away from what she thought was safer.

Yuan Minzhou saw that her little face was unpredictable, and he could guess some of her thoughts, but there were more important things at the moment, and he couldn't stay here longer, so he didn't bother with her, "Since you decided to stay here, then I won't force it." If there's anything going on, just let someone deliver the message, and I'll let Changying cooperate with you. ”

Xie Fenghua was busy thanking him.

It wasn't until the silence in the prison regained that Xie Fenghua found the guards here and ordered him to open Xie Zhengyun's prison door.

Because of Zhao Pei's will, she was able to walk freely in the prison, but the rest of the Xie Mansion could only stay obediently. At this time, I saw her walk up to Xie Zhengyun, take out the stack of books from her arms, and put them on the ground.

"Second girl, what is this?" Xie Zhengyun pointed to the booklet, with a hint of puzzlement on his face.

After being locked up for a few days, some stubble gradually grew on his face, and the whole person looked sloppy and depressed, but those eyes were still full of brilliance, as if he saw the niece in front of him, and he inexplicably had a sense of confidence.

The confidence that will not die!

Except for the time when he was first locked in, he also said a few words, and then became extremely silent. But he was not depressed, watching Dingyuan Hou go in and out every day, he knew that things were not as bad as he imagined.

Yes, when Xie Fenghua put the stack of booklets in front of him, he subconsciously felt that it was Dingyuanhou's thing, and he didn't open it rashly.

Xie Fenghua took his chin and clicked on the booklet on the ground, pulled a pile of straw and sat down, and said slowly: "Second uncle, take a look!" Maybe you remember these things! ”

When Xie Zhengyun heard this, he hurriedly opened it to take a look, but the next moment, as if frightened, he threw the booklet to the ground.

"What's the panic?" Xie Fenghua picked up the booklet and stuffed it into his hand, and said without refusal, "Second uncle, it took a lot of effort to grab something, don't miss it!" Anyway, you have to read it all, right? ”

Xie Zhengyun swallowed with difficulty, and read the booklets with trepidation in her clear and calm eyes.

He rubbed his hands, looking a little timid, "Second girl, this thing ......"

"That's it!" Xie Fenghua grabbed the booklet in his hand and said casually, "Second Uncle has finished reading it, how do you feel?" Do you want to deny it, or do you have other plans? ”

Xie Zhengyun's face changed, and for a moment he seemed to be ten years old, and he sighed helplessly: "These are all conclusive things, and I don't need to deny it." It's just, what do you mean by showing me these things? ”

Xie Fenghua suddenly stared at him, her eyes were as sharp as a needle, and she stared at Xie Zhengyun and lowered her head, and then she said slowly: "Show you, I want you to have a few points about what you have done!" If you can't hide these things from me, you can't hide them from others. I was stopped this time, and I guess I won't be so lucky next time. ”

is obviously a young child, but when these words came out, it seemed to be slapping Xie Zhengyun's face, he only felt that his face was hot, and he was ashamed for a while.

lived to such an old age, but was taught by a junior so earnestly, wouldn't he laugh off his big teeth when he said it?

Xie Fenghua also ignored his shame and anger, and said to himself: "Second uncle, you can also see that since my sister died, there are many people who are looking forward to our bad luck." If there are any more moths in the house, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless. ”

Saying this, her gaze swept in the direction where the Shen mother and daughter were, intentionally or unintentionally.

Xie Zhengyun followed her line of sight, was stunned for the moment, and hesitated: "Second girl, your second aunt sometimes acts out of proportion, if they annoy you, don't take it to heart......

"It's your business." Xie Fenghua stood up and looked down at him, "Second uncle, I think you will take care of the affairs of the second room, right?" ”

Xie Zhengyun nodded subconsciously.

For some reason, when he met such a clear and calm gaze, he couldn't have any intention of refutation, and even wanted to surrender to the ground!

And Xie Fenghua got the answer he wanted, so he also turned around and walked back to his cell.

She didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the second room, but she would never allow the people in the second room to drag her back regardless of the severity. When the wind and waves in the house are calm, she can use all her body and mind to deal with all the tricks from the Du family.

What she wants is that Xie Fu is completely under her control.

……

The sixth day of the Xie Mansion where the people stayed in the prison.

Li Xiangrui, the secretary of the Ministry of War, presented a book of excerpts, which listed the crimes committed by Xie Zhengyun during his tenure as a waiter in the Ministry of Works-embezzlement and bribery, enriching his own pockets, which is really a heinous crime. In view of Xie Zhengyun's misconduct, he specially wrote to implore the emperor to remove him from his official position as a squire in the military department!

For a time, the impeachment of Xie Zhengyun by hundreds of officials of the imperial court flew to the emperor like a piece of paper, especially the Du family. The emperor was furious when he saw this, and immediately ordered the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to quickly investigate the case.

And the criminal department's Shangshu also acted quickly, and within three days, the case was clearly investigated, but when the results were presented, the civil and military officials were dumbfounded. Originally, Li Xiangrui wanted to sue Xie Zhengyun's heinous and unforgivable crimes, but he didn't expect that the person whose crimes were unforgivable was not Xie Zhengyun, but Gong Fanchao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Gong Fanchao shouted injustice on the spot, but Shangshu of the Criminal Department had already collected human and material evidence and confronted him in court.

So, everyone knew that on the surface, it seemed that Xie Zhengyun was taking bribes and moving public funds, but when he checked where the money and silver came from, he dug up Gong Fanchao, a big tumor in officialdom, and the emperor even ordered someone to seal up Gong Mansion on the spot, and found boxes of white silver.

Under the conclusive evidence of the crime, Gong Fan was speechless, and in despair, he crashed into the pillar and died, and blood was splashed on the spot.

Subsequently, the Gong Mansion was raided, and the family members were exiled, like a slap in the face, which was thrown on the face of the Du family.

You must know that the Gong family and the Du family are in-laws. Du Huaisheng's father-in-law is Gong Fanchao, who died by hitting a pillar. And the Du family didn't expect that the impeachment of Xie Zhengyun that had swarmed away turned out to be a talisman for Gong Mansion.

At this point, the vitality of the Du family was greatly damaged, and everyone in the Xie Mansion still stayed quietly in the prison, and no one dared to mention the "crimes" complained by Li Xiangrui in front of the anger of the Son of Heaven.

After Du Huaishao drank a pot of tea in the teahouse, the storyteller also finished telling the process of Gong Fanchao's death after hitting the pillar. But seeing that he put down the teacup in his hand and walked back to Du Mansion step by step.

After the Gong Mansion was sealed, some people in the Du family said that they were sick, but in fact, they were walking around secretly every day, as if they were discussing what countermeasures.

But these are not things he can listen to, as usual, he goes to the teahouse every day to drink tea, and then goes to the martial arts arena to practice martial arts, and between coming and going, he also knows a lot of things that he has not heard of before.

And those are all about Dingyuan Marquis and Xie Fenghua.

The more he learned, the deeper his curiosity about the two became. Now that Xie Fenghua is no longer alive, Xie Fu has been imprisoned in the prison, but he is still safe and sound, and he has also seen some unusual atmosphere.

I'm afraid that if the Xie Mansion has been safe so far, it is very likely that the Marquis of Dingyuan secretly helped him.

He then thought of the raid of the Gong Mansion.

It's just that before he could fully figure it out, he saw the entourage next to Du Hongxin striding towards him. He paused and stood still.

"Second young master, master, please go to the study immediately."

"Okay."
