Almost overnight, the wind rose in Chang'an. And with the wind came a shocking news.

"What do you say...... The Marquis of Anguo's mansion was searched? How is this possible! ”

Chang'an, who was the first to get this sudden situation, made Ren Kuan's face change color, and he looked at the city patrol envoy who came to report the news in a panic with a look of disbelief, feeling a little ridiculous. And the other party's look definitely didn't look like a lie.

"My lord! It's true! The Marquis of Anguo's mansion was surrounded by regiments, and the entire street was blocked. When the brothers who were patrolling the city went to inquire about it, they were very tough, saying that they were acting on orders ....... ”

Ren Kuan's brows furrowed, and his heart beat violently. Such a big thing happened in his own jurisdiction, and the Chang'an Mansion had no news at all beforehand, which was very abnormal.

"Where is it? Whose orders were they given? ”

"Mainly people from Lantian County, and the rest are some unidentified people. According to them, this is the ...... of Lantian County's order to investigate the thieves who happened in the recent days according to the thieves' confessions and in accordance with the orders of Lord Shang Shuling. ”

"How unreasonable! How could the Weihe thieves have anything to do with the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion? What's more, when will the Lantian County Commander have the power to go to Chang'an City to enforce the law and arrest people! ”

Ren Kuan, who was furious, immediately ordered to gather people and rushed to the street where the Marquis of Anguo's mansion was located as quickly as possible. By this time, it was already dark. Sure enough, the entire street has been cordoned off, and there are some men with swords and swords waiting here. The early risers were pushed far away and did not dare to approach.

"Who are you? Dare to be presumptuous in Chang'an City! My family is here, so don't get out of the way quickly. ”

The head catchers and others of the Chang'an Mansion gathered around their adults and shouted in front. Unexpectedly, the more than 100 big men blocking the street looked at this side casually, not impressing. Not only did he not get out of the way, but someone said in a mocking tone.

"What grown-up and small-person ...... We are acting here on the orders of the Marquis of Zhongshan, and the stakes are very high, and no one is allowed to enter! Hurry back or you're welcome. ”

The sword flashed, very arrogant. Ren Kuan was furious, he stepped forward regardless of the danger, and pointed at the big man with a knife three feet away with his halberd, and his anger surged.

"Bastard thing! The dignified capital of the Han Dynasty, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, waiting for the open fire to fight, openly treating the officials in charge of the court as if they were nothing, is this a rebellion? In the capacity of the main hall of the Chang'an Order of the Han Empire, this official orders you to put down the weapons in your hands, retreat on both sides, and wait for the fate. Otherwise, they will be punished severely for the crime of plotting to disturb the safety of the imperial capital! ”

Ren Kuan is dignified and upright. His attitude was intimidating. The big men looked at each other, and one of the leaders stood up, arched his hand and said.

"It turned out that Lord Chang'an Ling came, disrespectful, disrespectful! It's just that if you say it, we can't obey it! Because tonight, there is a big case to be dealt with here, and no one is allowed to enter until the search is complete. This is the instruction given by Lord Shang Shuling himself! ”

The implication of this guy's words is obvious, he used Shangshu to order Liu Quyak to suppress Ren Kuan, and he didn't take the Chang'an Ling in front of him seriously at all. Looking at the past from this side, the lights in the Marquis of Anguo's mansion were brightly lit, and there was a faint noise coming. Ren Kuan was anxious, no matter what the reason, if he couldn't maintain the safety of this Hou Mansion in the first place, he would be too sorry for Yuan Zhao and the prince's intention to support him in the past.

"Humph! On the ground in Chang'an, this official wants to see who dares to stop it! ”

Ren Kuan held his neck high and strode forward in the light of the sword. He is just a civil official, but the momentum revealed by him at this moment is not inferior to that of a martial artist.

Forced by its momentum, the big men who were blocking the entrance of the long street involuntarily took a few steps back. This Lord Chang'an Ling walked straight over with his bare hands, and no one dared to do anything to him. However, at this moment, there was the sound of footsteps behind him, and the voice of someone talking came, as cold as the frost of the morning.

"Lord Ren Kuan, you don't have to think about it. I have led people to search the Marquis of Anguo's mansion overnight, and the evidence is conclusive, and the blame cannot be escaped...... Hehe! If the Chang'an Mansion is also interested, I don't mind Lord Ren Kuan coming to get to know it well. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ling Jing of Lantian County, who was more than ten years younger than Ren Kuan, walked over. Although he had barely slept all night, he now seemed to be in good spirits and not tired at all. The two of them are in charge of the two most important counties near Chang'an, and although they have not had a deep relationship, they know each other. Ren Kuan looked at this nephew who was Shang Shuling of the dynasty with an expressionless face, and he knew very well that if he really wanted to intervene, he would inevitably be involved in a huge political struggle with unpredictable consequences. But at this moment, he did not hesitate, and stood directly with Jing Xing face to face, and his words were sharp.

"Incriminating evidence? Hehe! Your dignified Lantian County Order, running to the Chang'an territory to make trouble, is in itself a violation of the laws of the Han Dynasty. If you participate in the performance in front of the emperor, do you think you can easily get away with your uncle's relationship? ”

Jing Xing didn't expect Ren Kuan to be so ruthless, and in front of many people, he directly exposed his special relationship with Liu Quyak. couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, and fought back.

"Then you can go to the emperor and participate! When the time comes, we'll see who's right and who's wrong. Hum! ”

"Jing Xing, don't think that His Majesty the Emperor is not in Chang'an, and the Marquis of Zhongshan will be able to cover the sky with one hand! You must know that there is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Weiyang Palace! You dare to move the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, no matter what the hell you want, I'm afraid you won't succeed! ”

Ren Kuan didn't hide what he thought in his heart at all, he was originally such an upright temperament, and there was no room for any ghosts and ghosts in his eyes. And Jing Xing just hissed and sneered, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to devour people.

"Lord Ren Kuan, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? There are thieves' confessions that clearly point to Changle Yuan and the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, so this official came here to search overnight after telling the auxiliary government of the current dynasty. Fortunately, I didn't lose my life, and I really gained a lot...... Let me tell you the truth, we have not only searched a large number of unknown belongings in the Mansion of the Marquis of Anguo. What's even more shocking is that many swords, swords, crossbows, and other prohibited weapons were also found. What does this mean, doesn't Lord Chang'an Ling still understand? ”

Ren Kuan's face became more and more ugly, and the horror in his heart became deeper and deeper. He didn't expect the other party to be so vicious, and to fabricate such a crime, it was clear that he wanted to kill everyone in the Yuanhou Mansion! And what's even more terrifying is that the other party is so blatantly taking the mansion of the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty as the primary target, are they really not afraid of the anger of His Royal Highness the Prince? Or is it ...... not afraid of angering the Divine Will? What's going on behind the scenes?!

Since ancient times, it has been a felony to raise private soldiers and hide swords and armor! As a courtier, no matter how much credit he has made or how much contribution he has made to the country, as long as he violates the taboo in this regard, it is generally difficult to survive. Especially in the Han Dynasty, it was even more severe for the major crime of suspected rebellion. Over the past hundred years, many famous ministers and generals have been killed for this crime and lost their lives.

Thinking of these serious points, Ren Kuan decided not to waste time here to entangle. He needs to rush to Bowangyuan as quickly as possible and let the crown prince come forward, maybe he can save the unfavorable situation he will face.

Jing Xing looked at the figure of Ren Kuanren leaving in a hurry, and he couldn't hide the pride in his heart. On the one hand, he ordered everyone to continue to tightly seal the inside and outside of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, and on the other hand, he went straight to the Marquis of Zhongshan Mansion with those so-called "criminal evidence". The Marquis of Zhongshan and the Lord of Shangshu Ling, Liu Quyak, must have been waiting for a long time. It is only in his hands that these things can exert their maximum power and become deadly weapons that lock their throats and kill them!

Whether in the court or on another battlefield, a thrilling and fierce duel is about to begin. In the short time since then, many people have not yet realized the gravity of the battle. It is enough to make Chang'an's turbulent mountains and rivers change color, and when all the dust settles, the Han Dynasty will truly break free from all shackles and be reborn in another most glorious direction...... And the reason for all this may just be because some careerists moved the mansion of the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty. Moved someone's confinement.

The time when the crown prince Liu Ju got the news was only slightly later than Chang'an Ling Ren Kuan. Therefore, when Ren Kuan hurried to Bowangyuan to see the prince, the guards who were ordered by the prince to rush arrived at the same time with several important ministers who had been summoned separately.

"Lord Ren Kuan, what is the situation?"

Imperial Doctor Dongfang Shuo saw Ni Kuan's expression and hurriedly asked as he walked. He was woken up in his sleep. He's been busy enough these days. During the period when the prince was in prison, he must not make any big mistakes, so no matter how big or small, he must carefully consider and make ideas for the prince.

A few days ago, Sima Xiangru came back and told him in detail about the incident in Changleyuan, and Dongfang Shuo immediately realized that there must be someone behind this who wanted to provoke the incident. Therefore, he has been extra careful these days to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to make trouble in the court's government affairs. Unexpectedly, I received this sudden news early in the morning that something had happened to the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion.

Ren Kuan, who was also a member of the princelings, knew that this matter was very important, and he gave a comprehensive briefing on what he had heard and heard to his companions. The five or six people led by Dongfang Shuo were secretly surprised, and their hearts became heavy. And when they entered the palace, they saw the prince Liu Ju, who had always been gentle and polite, for the first time, and smashed to the ground. Apparently he had just finished his anger, which was extremely rare for him.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Someone in the court deceived me too much! I endured it again and again, but I didn't expect them to go to Sister A's mansion...... It's tolerable, it's unbearable! Today I want to lead my army to kill the thief, and which of you can help me? ”

Completely enraged, the prince's eyes were red, and he drew his sword.
