A trial that will decide the fate of the world is underway in secret.

Now that there is a curfew in the whole of Upper Kyoto, all institutions, including the Imperial City, are not allowed to move around at will. Everything was taken over by Xiao's Ley's descendants.

Lao Xiao's mansion was guarded by three different military lines, supervising each other, and implementing a unified defense policy together.

In the main hall, except for a few henchmen and warriors, plus Ye Luyuan to observe, I saw the pot-bellied Xiao above the inside and bottom of the high seat, and the article knelt on the ground below with his head down.

On the table, there was a letter submitted by the article, which had been opened, but when it was closed, it could still be clearly identified as Gao Fangping's fire paint seal.

Comparing the previous letters written by Gao Fangping, Xiao, who has quite literary skills, has confirmed that this letter is indeed written by Gao Fangping himself. He Gao Fangping did not die, and now he has fallen to the east, and is in the tribe of Guo Yaoshi, slowly migrating towards Shangjing.

At this point, Xiao's inner bottom is in the general direction, and he is already relieved.

"Summons Liang Hongying." Lao Xiao hesitated and gave an order.

Since leading the Shan army to rescue the envoys of the Song State, Liang Hongying has been stranded in Lao Xiao's house, and Sister Liang knows that only Lao Xiao has the ability to get Xianggong back.

Soon Liang Hongying came to the court, and Xiao's inner bottom was especially polite to the beauty, and the bearer said with a wicked smile: "Hongying, come to Benxiang's side and take a look at this letter." ”

Liang Hongying hates being around him the most, although this old pervert doesn't do anything, he will rape people with his eyes, it's so hateful, he can't say anything about him.

"Don't hesitate, this is a letter written by your father-in-law, you can take a look and identify it." Xiao beckoned.

So Liang Hongying hurried over and read the letter carefully, she didn't care about the content of the letter, as long as she knew that Xianggong was not dead.

After reading it, Liang Hongying said with red eyes: "This is indeed a handwritten letter from Xianggong, and Hongying also knows it when it turns into ashes." His handwriting is ugly, this is the only one, even if there are experts who can imitate beautiful handwriting, but it is difficult to imitate the public. Because the people who can imitate have strong writing skills and write very well, the most difficult thing about writing is to deliberately write a good hand. Therefore, the handwriting of the Great Song Emperor can be imitated, but only the handwriting of Xiao Gao Xianggong is difficult to imitate perfectly. ”

Xiao's inner bottom also recognized this, so he handed the letter to Liang Hongying and said: "It has been confirmed, Hongying, you personally took me to personally guard the cavalry of the battalion, and rushed to the Song-Liao border day and night, and handed over this letter that proved that Gao Fangping was still alive to the person in charge of the Song army." In order to avoid further deterioration of the situation in Song-Liao. The rest is secondary, and the picture will take care of it. ”

Liang Hongying agreed, and then asked: "If Xianggong doesn't enter Beijing for a day, he will be in danger for a day, Xiao Xiang, will you deal with it?" ”

Lao Xiao smiled: "You just need to send the letter, and the other ministers have their own arrangements." ”

So Liang Hongying left quickly with the people.

After standing still, Lao Xiao always looked at the article with an ambiguous attitude, and sometimes looked at Ye Luyuan, the imperial envoy of the Liao State, but squinted his eyes and did not speak.

The situation of the article is rotten, kneeling heartlessly, and I don't care.

And Yeluyuan became more and more panicked. He knew that Lao Xiao was a person who was difficult to fool. Presumably, it is difficult for Lao Xiao to trust the calf that Ye Luyuan and the article have teamed up.

Regarding the beginning and end of the incident, the article does not trust Xiao's bottom and does not give the truth. Other letters seized from Lee Hyun-yew were hidden from the article, and those things could not be easily surfaced. Therefore, the article only submitted one of the letters, which was Gao Fangping's handwritten letter, to avoid war.

Ye Lu Yuan's embarrassment is that he knows that Li Xianyao has some of their tricks, since Li Xianyao will leave such an important letter, it is likely that this is a hobby of his Li Xianyao, so it is likely that there is not only this fierce material, but there are other heavyweight materials that have been mastered by the article, and Ye Luyuan is not clear what those are. Now it's all in the hands of the article.

The most embarrassing thing is that Ye Luyuan can't admit that he is a friend of the article. The article also does not admit that it is a spy of Song Guolai.

At the level of Shaw's inner bottom does not accept this. These things must be hidden from those in power, who will only vaguely exist in the system model, but will not know the details.

And then no one in power would actually like these people, whether they were from the Song or Liao countries. Because to put it bluntly, at the bureaucratic level, the most unacceptable thing is the existence of "Records of Hundreds of Officials", which will bring political chaos. But it just so happens that this group of people in the world can sort out the **** the most.

Any prime minister hates these intelligence agencies, but he can't do without them.

To put it bluntly, the power of the prime minister was in conflict with the imperial power to a certain extent, and once the royal intelligence agency was indulged too much, it formed the later Jinyiwei and Dongchang. No prime minister would want to have a Jinyi Wei and Dongchang, and no prime minister would accept such an institution whether he was loyal to the royal family or not.

Based on these problems, now Yeluyuan has the heart to die, in fact, from the beginning of the intervention, Yeluyuan knew that he was likely to be killed by the article. Ye Luyuan must pretend not to know about Xiao Helu and the others, even if they are Xiao's political enemies.

Otherwise, Xiao's Lidi will disappear the overly responsible spy leader because of the possibility of tabooing "Records of Hundreds of Officials". Because Xiao's inner bottom will think, you may dig up Xiao Helu's material today, and tomorrow you may also dig out my old Xiao's material, how can there be such a responsible person.

While concealing the material of Xiao Helu and others, it is also necessary to conceal the identity of the good article. Because Yeluyuan has too much contact with the article, it is possible that the secret will be dug up. If the article is a spy of the Song Kingdom, but he is friends with Yeluyuan. It just so happens that Lao Xiao is jealous of people like Yeluyuan, and a traitorous hat will move his head when he buttons it off.

But in fact, this kind of thing is too normal in the intelligence circle, and it is an unspoken rule. It's just that these things can't be put on the table of politicians, even if Song Liao is an ally, even if Xiao's exploits in suppressing bandits come from Ye Luyuan's friendship with the article, it is unacceptable.

Yelu Yuan and the article's worries are actually Xiao's worries.

Lao Xiao looked at the article for a long time with bad intentions, and suddenly spoke: "You said that you are just a person who came to Beijing to live in Beijing?" ”

"What the adults say is that the villains are indeed like this." The article is in the shape of a ruffian.

Xiao's Lidi stared at him for a moment and said: "When the old man is so foolish, ordinary people, ordinary people, ordinary mentality, would not think of doing something to that level of business, why would you take a group of thieves, suddenly have a bad heart for the mixed yuan business, and accidentally learned of an important letter?" ”

"Back to the adult, the villain is ...... For a while, the greed for money blinded the heart, and evil was born to the side of the guts. I'm a ruthless person. The article said.

"You don't call evil to the guts." Xiao said coldly, "As far as the old man knows, what you are doing is not an ordinary thief, this time the soldiers are not bloody, and the mixed yuan business was captured by you without one person dying?" How do you explain this? In addition, such an important letter must be carefully stored. When you searched for your belongings, you didn't retreat immediately, but you also found this letter and told the old man what you thought at that time. ”

The article said: "There are rules for being a thief, and as a person in the wonderful door, the villain has the best experience of these organs." I stumbled upon an anomaly in the wall tiles, and I thought that since what was hidden in the dark compartment must be more valuable, I took a bigger risk and delayed the time, but unexpectedly I only found a letter. ”

Xiao said: "As a thief seeking money, can you explain why you specially collected this letter and took it away?" ”

The article said: "The villain is also a person, and the current situation is tense, and I don't want the war between the two countries to be ruined, so I don't know whether the belief is true or false, and I have the right to bring it out and talk about it." But before the letter could be delivered to the government, he was arrested. ”

When Yelu Yuan was about to speak, Xiao Lidi interrupted coldly: "Shut up and wait for the appearance to think carefully." ”

Yelu Yuan was sweating profusely and retreated.

Squinting his eyes and looking at the article for a long time, Xiao's inner bottom suddenly turned to ask Yeluyuan, "Do you know the article?" ”

Yeluyuan pretended to hesitate for a moment and admitted: "Hui Xiangye, I know that he is a thief." Not only did he know the article, but he also knew the group of thieves who followed him to commit crimes, and those guys did a lot of cases. I found that when they gathered in Beijing, they had more eyes. That's why I started paying attention to it. ”

Xiao thought for a moment and said, "The people in the violent agency know a few ruffians who are traitors, and they have also said it. Ordinary thieves will also have some filial piety for people like you or bad people, and this is also true. Then I won't talk about it. ”

After a pause, Xiao's bottom said: "What makes Ben Xiang wonder is, why did you dare to break the curfew line when you didn't know the inside story, and tell Ben Xiang that there was a 'major situation', so that Ben Xiang risked offending the taboo of political enemies and took action to set things right?" Did you know something in advance but didn't tell it? ”

Yelu Yuan said in a cold sweat, "See you Xiao Xiangming...... Speaking of which, first of all, the lowly knows this gang of thieves, and those who have been executed know that they have done some big cases, but the article is just a thief who is not in the flow in normal times, and the two groups of people who are not in harmony are mixed together, which is what the lowly office thinks is strange, so I began to pay attention to it in a curious mind. ”

Ye Luyuan said again: "Later, I found out that they were actually fishing the line and keeping an eye on foreign-related businesses in advance. This is not a trivial problem, and the curiosity of the humble is strengthened. After staring at it for two days, there was no mess, and the lowly position also had a lazy mind, anyway, it was not my business, so I didn't want to care. But then, after hearing the news of the accident of the mixed yuan firm, I thought about the accident and the accident happened, and there are so many horse thieves and thieves in the world, it is not a new thing, this is none of my business. But then the situation became bigger, and it turned out that because of an ordinary theft case, there was a curfew in Beijing and martial law for the troops of various tribes to enter the city. The background of this event is: during the emperor's absence, the Song Liao War was about to begin. I think it's serious. What's even more serious is that after knowing that I was an envoy of the imperial city, those people even forbade me to walk around and confiscated the lowly weapons. This is definitely an extraordinary event, and I felt that there might be something bad for my Da Liao, so I came to Xiao Xiang to set things right. ”

Lao Xiao just stared at Ye Luyuan coldly.

Ye Luyuan added: "Coming to Xiao Xiang, it is an ordinary thinking for lowly positions, that is, I want to let you know the questions that lowly positions are puzzled about. But on the way there, I was stopped again, and there was a full curfew near your mansion. In the eyes of me, a persecuted delusional person, it seems that some people want to hide things from you, so the more they don't allow anyone to see you, the bigger the problem is. You know, I'm a rough man, and I don't think much about it when my brain is hot. ”[.]
