When Yang Yuecheng entered the palace the next day, it was already noon, and he didn't know what Zhou Qingwu had announced when he entered the palace this time, so he was a little uneasy when he came.

Yesterday, he had the heart to inquire with Xiao Luzi, but Xiao Luzi didn't say anything.

Sun Hanlin has just died, I'm afraid that Zhou Qingwu is still in a bad mood now, if he says the wrong thing, then he may end up with death or injury if he is not careful.

The little eunuch guarding outside the hall saw Yang Yuecheng coming, stepped forward and saluted him and said, "The slave has seen General Yang, and asked General Yang to wait, and the slave will go in and say hello." ”

Yang Yuecheng nodded, and the little eunuch entered the hall, and it didn't take long for the door of the hall to open again, and the little eunuch looked at Yang Yuecheng and said, "General Yang, Your Majesty has announced that you have entered the hall!" ”

Yang Yuecheng answered, and walked in, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, somehow, he always felt that something bad would happen when he came to the palace today.

"Wechen see Your Majesty." Yang Yuecheng saluted respectfully to Zhou Qingwu on the dragon chair, Zhou Qingwu glanced at him, and said lightly: "Flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Yuecheng stood up, but lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at Zhou Qingwu's expression.

The corners of Zhou Qingwu's mouth were a vague smile, he looked at Yang Yuecheng and asked, "Does Aiqing know what happened when I announced Aiqing's entry into the palace today?" ”

Yang Yuecheng shook his head, "Weichen doesn't know, and I ask Your Majesty for advice." ”

Zhou Qingwu stood up from the dragon chair, slowly walked down the steps, and came to Yang Yuecheng and said lightly: "Today is the seventh day, I don't know about the fire in Qian Baihan's mansion, does Aiqing have any clues?" ”

Yang Yuecheng was stunned, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive me, there are some clues, but that person has committed suicide in prison, Weichen has tried his best to investigate this matter, and please let Your Majesty calm his anger." ”

Zhou Qingwu sneered and asked Yang Yuecheng, "Have you done your best?" As far as I know, the people in the prison were sent by Qian Baihan, right? If you try your best, why can't Qian Baihan find out clearly during his illness? ”

"This ......" Yang Yuecheng was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer Zhou Qingwu's question.

Zhou Qingwu flicked his sleeves, and seemed to be extremely disappointed in Yang Yuecheng between his words, "The fire came suddenly, and seven days may be shorter, but I ask you, how long has it been since Qian Baihan was assassinated?" Can you find out who did it? ”

Yang Yuecheng couldn't answer, although he also worked hard, because of Zhou Qingwu's order, but he hated Qian Baihan in the end, and he didn't want to spend more effort on his affairs.

I thought that it would be possible to delay it for a day, but I didn't expect Zhou Qingwu to take this matter to heart and use it to hold himself accountable.

"Why don't you speak?" Zhou Qingwu looked at him in a cold tone and asked, "Didn't you just say that you did your best?" Well? ”

Yang Yuecheng buried his head lower, and only after a while did he say: "Please Your Majesty punish, it is Weichen's ineffective work." ”

Zhou Qingwu looked at Yang Yuecheng's appearance, but said, "Listening to your tone, it seems to be very unconvinced?" ”

When Yang Yuecheng heard this, he hurriedly said, "Weichen doesn't dare. ”

A smile overflowed at the corner of Zhou Qingwu's mouth, and he looked at Yang Yuecheng and said: "I know that you are not convinced, your family background is better than Qian Baihan, and your martial arts are not bad, do you think that the position of this general should be yours, don't you?" ”

Yang Yuecheng didn't expect Zhou Qingwu to say what was on his mind, so he raised his head and said to Zhou Qingwu in a moment of excitement: "Yes, Weichen has always been loyal to His Majesty, and he is not inferior to Qian Baihan, why does Your Majesty use him so much?" Wechen didn't understand. ”

Yang Yuecheng knew in his heart that he would inevitably be punished today, but it was better to say what he wanted to say in advance.

Zhou Qingwu didn't answer Yang Yuecheng's words, and was only silent for a long time before he spoke: "Since Aiqing said that he is loyal to me and does not belong to Qian Baihan, then I have one thing for you to do, if you do it well, that is, after Qian Baihan recovers from his illness, the position of the general will still be you to sit, how about it?" ”

Yang Yuecheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Zhou Qingwu: "Your Majesty is very loving, and I will never give up." ”

Zhou Qingwu smiled and said to him: "I don't need Aiqing to die, as long as Aiqing kills Zhang Xueying, such a simple thing must not be difficult for Aiqing!" ”

Yang Yuecheng's private dealings with Zhang Quan had reached Zhou Qingwu's ears, and the secret guard failed to assassinate Zhang Xueying, but was seriously injured, but asked her to pick up a life.

Now, I can use her to try this Yang Yuecheng, whether he can tear his face with Zhang Quan for his own will.

Even if he didn't want to, Zhou Qingwu had already made up his mind in his heart, Zhang Xueying must die, such a Qinglou woman categorically could not let her enter the harem.

Yang Yuecheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately responded, the death of a righteous daughter can show his heart, and he can also change the position of this general, presumably Zhang Quan will not be unwilling.

There are many beauties in the world, it's a big deal to compensate him for one more!

Zhang Quan will not turn his face with himself for a woman, even if he wants to, he has to take care of the family behind him to turn his face again,

Zhou Qingwu saw that he responded quickly, and only said, "Get up!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yang Yuecheng just stood up, but Zhou Qingwu looked at him and said: "This time, I still give you seven days, these seven days are used to kill a nominal daughter, which can be regarded as generous, if it doesn't work out this time, Aiqing must be able to guess what the consequences are." ”

A trace of horror crossed Yang Yuecheng's eyes, and then he said, "Yes, Weichen understands." ”

Zhou Qingwu nodded, "It's good to understand, this thing can't be done, and the crime will be punished together!" Step aside! ”

"Yes, Weichen retired." Yang Yuecheng saluted and bowed and exited the hall.

As soon as he left the palace gate, Yang Yuecheng stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, it was really dangerous and dangerous at that moment just now, if Zhou Qingwu was just going to punish him, let alone temporarily replace Qian Baihan's position as a general, even his original official position would not be able to be kept.

But fortunately, in the end, there is room for maneuver, as long as Zhang Quan's righteous daughter Zhang Xueying is killed, then Qian Baihan will never want to sit back in the position of the general.

Thinking of this, most of the panic just now had disappeared, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of Yang Yuecheng's mouth.

Lord Protector, this time, I can't stand in the same place as you!

In the hall, Xiao Luzi was a little surprised, today he originally thought that Zhou Qingwu would deal with Yang Yuecheng, otherwise he would not have said those two words to himself yesterday, and asked him to keep the silver for today's use.

But now, Xiao Luzi can't help but be a little strange, why did His Majesty suddenly change his mind?
