The prince's answer is actually not unexpected for everyone. As early as after the Beilan Palace incident, whether it was Shen Gui or Yan Qinghong, or even Princess Fengyang, who was under the protection of everyone, they had thought about this possibility.

But everyone eventually gave up on this conclusion.

is all because the current situation at that time was too complicated, and once the Mobei people were angered by Concubine Lan's death, it was only a matter of time before Ren Shen Gui thought brilliantly and cleverly planned to completely destroy the three roads in Youbei; If the three roads in the north are completely destroyed, then the biggest loser in this game, on the surface, although it is Emperor Xuande Yan Hunt; But in fact, it's the prince Yan Day!

Because even if the Youbei people capture Yan Hunt alive, they don't dare to risk the disapproval of the world, and in the case of the tiger lying in Jiangdong of Nankang, kill a Youbei monarch; What's more, once the Youbei is destroyed, the land and people they left behind will naturally become the spoils of the Northern Yan Dynasty, why should they bother to kill a useless person and push the hearts of the people to the Mobei side in vain? After all, at that time, the country bordering the Mobei grassland had already become the Northern Yan Dynasty.

Therefore, Yan Hunt must not be killed, and in the end, it is likely that he will be rewarded with the title of a duke, and then distributed to a rugged and closed ravine, so that he can grow vegetables and raise flowers to death; However, although Yan Zhan can conclude that there is no worry about life, the crown prince Yan Yan is destined to die.

None of the victors will leave themselves with a foreseeable trouble!

Therefore, everyone thought that even if the crown prince Yan Tian hated Concubine Lan's family, he would never want them to perish at such a delicate point in time. All of them hated this Yan Day, but they didn't think he would be stupid to say this. Unless......

Thinking of this, Shen Gui suddenly opened his mouth and asked the dejected Liu Zhi:

"Do you know Wan Changning?"

"I know, a loyal dog under Li Xiangye's door."

"What does he have to do with your Imperial Horse Supervisor or with the Crown Prince?"

“…… I haven't heard this mentioned by Master. However, according to the information of the forage room, it seems that he has often gone to the Double Heaven Casino to play two hands recently......"

It's a two-day casino again!

"Since when?"

"It seems to be a few days after Guo Xing's army besieged the city......"

Shen Gui nodded, and then slapped his shoulder blades with a palm, helping him unlock the meridian acupoints that were sealed by Liu Banxian:

"Don't try to run away! There's a Heavenly Spirit Vein guarding the door! really let him slap you to death, and when you get down, don't complain that Shen's words don't count. I'm going to check what you said now, and if there's nothing wrong, I'll let you go when I come back. ”

"Then what you promised me ......"

"Don't worry, what Shen said has never repented!"

In fact, Shen Gui usually interrogated the enemy, and his methods were always simple and rude. In addition to being good at observing words and feelings, and being able to easily concoct verbal traps, the most common method is to simply hold a sharp blade in his hand and go down three ways to the other party...... After giving the other party some psychological buffer, eight out of ten people will confess directly. However, this Liu Zhi is a father-in-law after all, so his invincible tricks on weekdays are naturally useless.

In this case, Shen Gui also changed his tricks. He directly threatened Lu Xiangyin's life, and promised that he would not investigate Lu Xiangyin and the accomplice of the Imperial Horse Prison. With a few simple words, he pried open Liu Zhi's 'iron teeth and steel teeth'.

In addition to accurately grasping the relationship between Liu Zhi and Lu Xiangyin's master and apprentice, the most important thing is that there is such a big killer weapon as Liu Banxian, which is clearly placed at the door of his house. And Liu Zhi also has every reason to believe that he can move Liu Banxian and kill all the objects he suspects. Of course, this naturally includes Lu Xiangyin.

If Shen Gui wants to understand why Yan Tian is 'stupid', he must start with why the Mobei people 'have no faith in their words'. At the beginning, under the mediation of him, Yan Qinghong, and Qi Hui, Li Deng secretly got rid of a batch of old grain accumulated in previous years, and secretly transported it to the Mobei grassland through the dark line of Qi Hui in the form of credit and barter. The achievement of this business directly led to the Mobei people who had food to survive the famine year, and they were unwilling to directly participate in the war between the two norths. After all, if there is a way to live, who would want to fight? What's more, Mobei is already thin in men, and now that there is food in hand to feed a family, it is natural that you can ride in the middle of the two norths, and then wait for the price to sell!

The reason why this business was able to be done was that in addition to the hard goods that Li Deng took out, there was also the dark line of Qi Hui and Yan Qinghong's Mobei bloodline, and Shen Gui became a middle man again, bringing together several parties.

Although everyone has made a lot of efforts in this matter, only Yan Qinghong can talk about it on the surface.

Li Deng, who took out the grain, was the prime minister of Youbei, and he was already in a state of war at that time in Mobei and Youbei's two homes. At such a sensitive time, taking out a large amount of 'free' grain for 'capital enemies' is a great treason to exterminate the nine clans; and Qi Hui, a big broker, although he has the hands and eyes of the people, but he really can't put it on the table; and Shen Gui is even more impossible, he has no official body and no title, and even a servant who watches the street has the right to block him in the alley and beat him violently, if this great merit is really given to him, then it is called Yixiao and generous!

So, out of a well-intentioned Mobei envoy Mugel, he praised Yan Qinghong's intelligence and noble character in the Winter Warm Pavilion and Emperor Xuande Yan Hunt. Although there are some suspicions of Lao Wang selling melons, under Mugel's honest and upright appearance, some untruths in his words seem to have become the truth of the matter!

Of course, he didn't mention the matter of food, all he kept saying was that he was inspired by the blood and family relationship between Concubine Lan and the second prince, and felt the good relationship between Mobei and Youbei for many years, and decided to return to the grassland, he would personally persuade Bormu Khan, at least to end up with a result of not helping the two.

The only accident was that there was another prince in the Winter Warm Pavilion that day, who was also listening to the teachings in front of the emperor.

That night, Beilan Palace lost a natural fire. burned a princess to death, and also burned a prince. And the murderer and arson was the little fat man Liu Zhi of the Imperial Horse Prison; The person who gave the order was Lu Xiangyin, the supervisor of the Imperial Horse Supervisor; And the mastermind behind the scenes is the actual emperor of the current Youbei Third Road - Prince Yan Day.

Whether it is said that he is carried away by jealousy, or that he is a stress reaction under fear, all in all, this prince did make the act of burning and killing his aunt.

In the development of the whole thing, there is one more doubt. It stands to reason that even if Yan Hunt is dizzy and wants to completely get rid of Yan Qinghong's hidden danger, he should instigate the Imperial Horse Supervisor to attack Yan Qinghong directly! After all, Yan Qinghong also stayed in the palace that day, and there was only one old eunuch in the courtyard to serve, which can be said to be out of a state of defenselessness.

And he directly burned down the Beilan Palace with great fanfare, and left Princess Fengyang alive, which means that Yan Tian's actions were obviously not aimed at Yan Qinghong! In this way, it must be the people in the bureau who leaked the news and let the prince know all about his plan.

In this way, it can also explain why the prince burned down the Beilan Palace, instead of killing Yan Qinghong: because in his opinion, the key point that can appease the people of Mobei is not Yan Qinghong, but the Lan Concubine Bao family! Only she has enough prestige and position to 'secretly buy' a large amount of grain to solve the danger of Mobei.

And Yan Tian thinks that the reason why Concubine Lan did this is that she wants to use all her net worth to pave a step for Yan Qinghong's evil seed to enter the body! And its purpose is also on the bright side, that is, to compete with himself for the position of prince!

If you want to break the game, the key is the identity of Concubine Lan's widow! Once she dies in Youbei, then Mobei Khan will be swayed by the anger of the people, and he will have to send troops to Youbei again to avenge the only bloodline of the grassland co-owner.

The first time they sent troops, they were for the Northern Yan Covenant; The second time he sent troops, it was in order to avenge the death of the remnants of the Jin clan. In this way, the exploits that Concubine Lan's 'miraculous calculation' for her son has also become useless.

And Emperor Xuande Yan Hunt has never been a generous king who talks about things.

Although Yan Tianqi is not stupid, after all, he is also a person in the bureau, and he will definitely not know so specifically. And the people who know the inside story of the 'grain peace talks' are all Shen Gui's trusted cronies, and it is impossible for the news to be leaked to the Imperial Horse Supervisor or the people in the Prince's Mansion.

But judging from the actions of the crown prince, it is obvious that he already knows why the Mobei people have completely changed their attitude......

Thinking about it this way, the biggest possibility of leaking secrets is that when Li Deng was raising food, he told the whole thing to his subordinate Gao Zu - Wan Changning, the left attendant of the household department.

This is the third time that Shen Gui has stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion today, and when Shan Qingquan at the door saw him turn back again, his face was full of impatience:

"I said Shen Gongzi, are you still finished? Otherwise, you'll sell your house! You raised your arms just now, and Manager Li still hasn't gotten out of bed......"

“…… I'm not here to make trouble! Is Wan Changning here? ”

"Xiangye is still ...... What? Wan Changning? ”

When Shan Qingquan heard that the person Shen Gui was looking for this time turned out to be Lord Wan Changning Wan, he himself was stunned. Then he thought about it, and said in an uncertain tone:

"I think I'm already home...... But it shouldn't have been long since I left...... Hey, how can I help you keep an eye on the adults? You'd better go in and ask the master yourself! ”

After Shen Gui met Li Deng, the Prime Minister was also a little puzzled. Then he shook his head and said to him:

"It's not that fast, I've already told Shi An to go to the Double Heaven Gambling House to investigate, and I have to wait until tomorrow to get some news......"

Shen Gui's face suddenly sank after hearing this:

"Did you arrange for Wan Changning to explore the bottom of the Shuangtian Gambling House?"

"yes...... originally wanted Shan Qingquan to go, but Li Fushou was ...... Well, you have made sins! So I had to let him go. Didn't you say that it was not peaceful in Fengjing City? The old man is powerless, and there must be someone left in the house to resist those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods! ”

Shen Guiyi waved his hand and said in an extremely heavy tone:

"This time, I'm afraid you're not a human being......"
