On the third day in prison, Yuan went mad, and completely insane, because she saw her former Rite Department Shangshu and her relatives in another cell.

When she was taken away, Cheng Jingxi was sitting at the door of the cell, hurriedly colliding with Yuan's gaze.

Her eyes were cloudy, and she didn't have any energy.

Cheng Jingxi was silent for a long time, and then lowered his eyes, Ye Huaiyu sat opposite her diagonally, far away from her, his eyes never left Cheng Jingxi, wanting to go over and say something to her, but he couldn't move his legs.

Ye Shuai stayed with Mrs. Ye and Ru Niang, Mrs. Ye was still like a demon, and kept talking about Ye Huaijin with Ye Shuai, there seemed to be only one thought left in her mind, she still refused to believe that Ye Huaijin was dead and could never live again.

While the people of the imperial court were squatting in the Shuaifu, they also blocked the inside and outside of Shangjing, carried out a full search, and finally found Ye Huaixin from an abandoned courtyard on the night of the fifth day.

He turned out to be injured.

There was blood on his face, and he fell weakly in the corner, so he judged that his body should not be much better.

Some of the wounds were infected, causing him to have a severe fever, otherwise the people of the court would not have been able to find him.

Why Ye Huaixin was injured, Cheng Jingxi could probably guess that Ye Shuai had already explained what happened in the palace and the ins and outs of the situation, and the reason why Ye Huaixin had such an encounter was not unrelated to the group of outsiders.

The people outside the plug thought that he had passed on false information and deliberately caused them to suffer heavy losses, and it would be strange if they didn't look for him.

The blame is self-inflicted, and it is also deserved.

Ye Huaixin was locked up next door to them, and on the second day after he came in, he was taken away for trial.

Mrs. Ye was crazy and screaming at the prison door, helplessly and desperately saying threatening words that did not have any strength, no one took her in their eyes, and ignored her.

Ye Shuai didn't say a word the whole time, and the disappointments he had accumulated these days had filled his whole heart, but most of them were for himself.

Of the three sons, only one of them has not gone the wrong way.

Ru Niang knelt on the ground with the two children who were crying in her arms, crying helplessly.

Ye Huaixin's attitude of admitting his guilt was very good, he didn't use much torture to recruit him, and the beheading was scheduled to be two days later, Cheng Jingheng's approach was particularly humane, and he was given time to say goodbye to his family.

Ye Shuai has nothing to say to him, since he was full of expectations that Ye Huaixin would inherit his father's business and follow him to do some achievements in the army, he has nothing to say to this eldest son.

Mrs. Ye looked a little chattering, Ye Huaiyu discussed with her father, and decided to let her mother sleep for the time being, and wait until she was in good spirits.

Then, together with Cheng Jingxi, he followed the jailer to the cell next door.

Ye Huaixin was lying on the straw mat, his eyes were hollow, and he no longer had the slightest demeanor of the Ye family.

"Big brother." Ye Huaiyu immediately opened his mouth.

Cheng Jingxi stood quietly aside, her eyes fixed on a certain place, and her mind and heart were blank.

Ye Huaixin slowly turned his head when he heard the sound, his eyes narrowed, and he saw clearly who was coming.

Suddenly, he laughed softly.

"Did you come to see my joke?"

Ye Huaiyu said: "The emperor decreed that the beheading would be two days later. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's okay today."

"Big brother." Ye Huaiyu shouted again.

"Don't call me big brother, I'm not your big brother!" Ye Huaixin, who had not had any emotional ups and downs for many days, seemed to be pessimistic about all life and death in the world, and suddenly his mood fluctuated greatly, "I don't have you as a younger brother!" ”

Ye Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, but he immediately recovered, he stood in place for a while, and suddenly said, "You did those things right, right?" ”

Ye Huaixin looked at him for a moment, and smiled very badly, "So what?" ”

"You hate me that much?" Ye Huaiyu frowned slightly.

"That's right," Ye Huaixin said viciously, "I hate you, since you were a child, why can you get your father's favor no matter what you do at home, why should my father be indifferent if I do the same thing?" Why? Yes? Ye Huaiyu, why are you telling me? ”

"Father always wanted you to go to the army for training......"

"I'm not going!" Ye Huaixin's voice was louder, as if he deliberately let the voice reach the ears of Ye Shuai next door, "Do you want me to go to the army like you?" Is that different or still live in your shadow? Ye Huaiyu, what you think is beautiful! I am in politics, I want to do something great in the DPRK, I want you to see with your old marshal, without you, how majestic I am Ye Huaixin! ”

"Just in prison?"

The voice came through the wall, and it was Ye Shuai who responded to his words.

Ye Huaixin's whole person suddenly languished after this sentence, his spirit seemed to be sluggish, he staggered back onto the straw mat, with a desperate smile on the corner of his mouth, and made a loveless appearance.

Ye Huaixin is a very jealous person in his bones, and he is extremely prone to extremes.

Ye Huaiyu looked at him, and he didn't want to continue to ask, but those questions had been in his heart for a long time, and if he didn't ask at this moment, he would probably never know the truth.

He paused, then spoke again: "What's the matter with those gold bars?" ”

Ye Huaixin stopped smiling, turned his head slowly, and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes, "What gold bar?" ”

Cheng Jing raised her head suddenly, and Ye Huaiyu's heart sank.

He remained silent, slowly took two steps forward, and continued: "Before, I was ordered by the emperor to go to Anqu County to suppress bandits, and I met a gang of unknown identities on the way, all of them carrying gold bars, didn't you give it?" ”

"Where did they get the gold bars from the silver they took from Huai Jin?"

"Everyone has it in their hands, and they all have the Jokhang Seal."

Cheng Jingxi's heart was beating faster and faster, and there was an answer that was about to come out immediately, she suddenly felt some dry throat, and she walked around, but couldn't find a place to drink water.

I swallowed my saliva with difficulty, and my throat and eyes hurt slightly.

Ye Huaixin said: "It's right that I found the people, and the bows and arrows used to kill you were also the ones I found to fight, and even the leaders in them are all familiar to you." ”

"Who is it?"

"People from the Criminal Department often come to the house to talk to me," Ye Huaixin said, "I can't tell you who it is, and it's useless to know, but you must be able to guess it." ”

Ye Huaiyu instantly had countless guesses in his heart, he often came to the house, and he was familiar with the people of the criminal department, and there was only one person who could make Ye Huaixin so confident that he would be able to guess.

Who else could there be?

"Gu Boyan?"

Cheng Jingxi's heart thumped, her knees suddenly weakened, and she almost lost her posture and didn't stand.

On the old marshal's birthday, he really didn't really get lost!

Ye Huaixin smiled but did not speak.

Ye Huaiyu couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Ye Huaixin's collar, gritted his teeth and asked, "What's going on with the gold bar?" ”

Ye Huaixin looked at him so closely for a moment, and suddenly smiled coldly, he seemed to know everything well, turned his head to Cheng Jingxi, who had never said a word, and opened his mouth, "You ask your Royal Highness the princess!" ”

Ye Huaiyu's hand suddenly couldn't be lifted, and he weakly loosened Ye Huaixin's collar.

Looking back at Cheng Jingxi, her face was bloodless than ever.

"Jingxi." He called her.

Cheng Jingxi lowered her head and did not respond to him.

"Jingxi?" He didn't give up and called her again.

Cheng Jingxi was still unmoved, she stood straight in place, as if nailed there, silent, only a shadow remained.

Ye Huaiyu was a little panicked, he stumbled over, and kept shaking her shoulders, "Jingxi, you raise your head, look up at me, you speak!" ”

Ye Huaixin was still watching the excitement behind him, fanning the flames, "Huaiyu, look at her appearance, can she not know anything?" Apparently she knows everything! In the days you went to Anqu County, she ran to the palace every day, could she not know anything? ”

"Huaiyu, don't you understand?"

"Huaiyu, what did she do when she entered the palace every day? Haven't you guessed yet? ”

"Huaiyu ......"

"Shut up!"

Ye Huaiyu suddenly remembered that the person who went to help him in Anqu County claimed to be Cheng Jingxi's shadow guard.

Although he claimed to be like this, he had never seen Cheng Jingxi have any contact, intersection and connection with this person.

Did everything have been designed a long time ago?

Ye Huaiyu's eyes were full of pain, "Jingxi, you shake your head, if you shake your head, I won't believe a word." ”

Cheng Jingxi slowly raised his head, looked at him quietly for a while, and finally nodded.

Ye Huaiyu's heart immediately sank to the bottom.

"I know it all."

These were the last words she said to him before she was released from prison, and the two looked at each other for the last time before she was released from prison.

Ye Huaiyu is not stupid, Ye Huaixin's seemingly nonexistent reminder, coupled with Cheng Jingxi's admission, made him roughly sort out a line of thought.

The group of people was indeed found by Ye Huaixin, but it was not gold bars that were used to buy them, but he found gold bars on that group of people.

The leader is Gu Boyan.

So in other words, under the same mask, it is really not the same face, and the person he arrested in Anqu County is a useless person at all.

From this point of view, can it still be said that even the bandit leader in Anqu County is not really the one who died?

However, there is no basis for this, and it can only be determined.

Ye Huaixin said that Cheng Jingxi knew everything, and said that she ran to the palace every day, so she would know.

It can be inferred from this that the person who really created the incident behind the scenes is actually ...... The one in the palace?

And what about the gang of bandits? And the people who are in ambush outside Anqu County, who are they loyal to?

Gu Boyan, all the relatives of the person who was ambushed this time were arrested, but he was the only one.

Ye Huaiyu actually already had an answer in his heart, but this answer made him even more powerless.

The people of the Ye family have always been used by the imperial court.

On the day Ye Huaixin was beheaded, Cheng Jingxi was released from the cell alone.

Cheng Jingheng stood outside the dormitory for a long time, and his father-in-law brought him a coat to cover it, Cheng Jingheng looked at his father-in-law's rickety back, and suddenly said: "I said that I won't let you die in vain, and I won't break my word." ”

Gao Gonggong bowed and paused, and he didn't lift it up for a long time.

Three days later, Cheng Jingheng told the world, saying that the eldest princess Jiayue had a meritorious role in quelling the chaos, and after getting married, she secretly helped the court many times, and finally got the ironclad evidence that Ye Huaixin was collaborating with the enemy, and the Grand Duke selflessly protected the Jokhang country.

Cheng Jingxi was placed under house arrest in the dormitory before she got married.
