Sure enough, a few days later, Zhuo Jun, who was on death row in the capital, suddenly reversed his confession, pointing out that the Song family forced him to smuggle smuggled salt with Mo Lan, and bought murder, using the Yao family to atone for the crime, and then bit his tongue and committed suicide in prison.

The government and the opposition were shocked, so they issued a strict order, and even many Song clansmen, including Zhong Hao, were imprisoned and interrogated one by one. For a while, everyone was surprised and excited, and this matter immediately became everyone's after-dinner conversation, surging between people's lips and tongues everywhere, or sneering, or joking, and soon spread to all corners, and gradually rendered a variety of versions.

It is said that the Song family is greedy for money, so they will cause trouble. It is also said that the Song family took risks in order to cling to the powerful. There are also people who think that the Song family has just received it for others, after all, the Song family has been in charge of salt affairs for many years, and there are salt officials issued by the imperial court, so they can't wade into this troubled water. There is even a conspiracy that came out of nowhere that the Song family was fighting among themselves, which led to the fire.

The rumors intensified, and many words also reached the ears of the imperial court. His Majesty the Emperor has always been suspicious and ordered a re-investigation. During this period, some people wrote to the cabinet to impeach the Salt Transporters for favoritism, collaborated with salt dealers to make and sell illicit salt, and framed merchants who held official quotes. Immediately after that, the salt transport envoy Si Yun and Wan Henian held the "evidence" and presented it to the cabinet ministers. Things have developed to this point, and suddenly it has become a new situation, and it is no longer as simple as whether the ordinary family of the Song Sect is convicted or not, and everyone's political nerves have been mobilized.

After such a thorough investigation one by one, and through the mouth of Sima Qian of the cabinet, it was told to His Majesty, and the "truth" of the illegal salt case was finally revealed.

In order to expand her power, the eldest princess connived at her subordinates to fight against each other and plundered money, including the fifth master of the Song family.

But how many people really know the truth of the matter?

In front of a pile of "ironclad evidence" and "human evidence", the eldest princess was reprimanded, and Song Juma was fined thirty with a cane, confiscated all duties, and grounded in the princess's mansion. The envoy was removed from his post and reinstated, and the position was taken over by Wan Henian. Song Wuye and his family were confiscated all their family property, imprisoned, and the rest of the clansmen were sentenced to Zhulian, and in the end there was no news.

Sure enough, it was a good plan, Xuan took a deep breath, but some began to admire this businessman.

"The royal decree confiscated most of the family property, and severely punished it, now that the Song family has declined, and offended the Jingzhong clan, there is nothing to fear." Qin Yun smiled and waved at Xuan, his face full of joy and relaxation.

"Afraid?" Xuan's gaze was thrown over, obviously with a smile, but it made people panic. Qin Yun hurriedly restrained his expression and lowered his eyes.

"Do you think I'll be afraid of a merchant from the Central Plains?" Xuan walked over and patted Qin Yun's shoulder, each stroke was cold and hard.

He walked over, leaned on the railing, and looked at the stage downstairs, the bright Hua Dan was singing in a straight voice, Xuan's expression was focused, and he couldn't even see any displeasure, but the more this was the case, the more it made Qin Yun feel uneasy.

Zhai Xuan is not always gloomy like Zhai Ke, nor is he always dissolute like Song Zhonghao, nor is he like Xu Qingxia, who is humble and gentlemanly, he has always been gentle and casual, but he will not back down in the real way, such a person is born with no soft-heartedness.

"The villain doesn't dare, the villain ...... Childe, please atone for your sins. Qin Yun was anxious to ask Xuan for guilt, after all, all the efforts were in this fight, and the informant on Qin Lilu's side had already sent the news that the old shopkeeper was dying, as long as Xuan nodded, he would be the next big shopkeeper who was like a cloud. He is confident that with his own ability, his future wealth and future will be limitless. These great futures are in sight and must not be left to chance.

Xuan didn't speak anymore, just seemed to be listening to the play very seriously, Qin Yun secretly pondered in his heart for a long time, now all the joints are on the body of the abolished prince Zhai Ke, if he can dedicate a plan to get rid of it, he will be able to win Xuan's favor.

Qin Yun was a little hesitant for a while, and was about to speak, but he saw a Xuan guard come in and present a letter.

Xuan Zhan took a look, his eyebrows frowned faintly, and his side eyes moved to Qin Yun in an instant. He smiled, put away the letterhead, and beckoned Qin Yun to come closer.

"Shopkeeper Qin doesn't have to be so cautious, I'm just joking with you." Xuan smiled slightly, took out an iron plate from his arms and handed it to Qin Yun, Qin Yun took it and saw that it was the shopkeeper iron talisman who came like a cloud.

"Childe ......" Qin Yun couldn't believe that what he longed for day and night, what he wanted to wear, really fell into his palm at this moment. He brushed the relief of the auspicious clouds rising on the iron plate, and a wave of joy swelled up, and madness stirred in the tip of his heart.

In order to get this status, he fought hard from thousands of young men, gritted his teeth and endured countless days and nights of perverted torture by Qin Lilu, and never stopped shuttling and traveling among different and even hostile people, pretending to please and doing his best to be sycophant.

Finally, it was him, in the end, who came to the end of victory! In the future, they will no longer be driven by others, they will no longer be manipulated, and those sinister and cunning fellow disciples can only bow their allegiance to themselves!

Finally, he has become the real owner of the guest! This feeling is indescribable, and Qin Yun's heart is beating like a drum, and his hand holding the iron talisman is trembling slightly.

The corners of Xuan's mouth were bright smiles, and there were countless essences in his eyes. He smiled at Qin Yun, and Qin Yun seemed to have seen the near future, as well as the bright, decent and happy self.

He leaned down and knelt down, made an extremely * bow, and bowed heavily at Xuan's feet.

Don't panic, this is just the first step, the days are still long, there will be more and better things to belong to you!

"Congratulations, Shopkeeper Qin." Hyun sat down, his voice full of relief. He leaned down and looked at Qin Yun, "I am most relieved that you come to sit in this position." You are Qin Lilu's most cherished child, and you will definitely do better than him. ”

"Don't worry, Qin Yun will definitely do his best to repay his son's death!"

Xuan nodded in satisfaction, sat up straight, and looked at the servant on the stage again. "In the Song Gate, I only need the life of the eldest prince of Song, you go and get it, and it will be counted as a gift for you to the royal court."

"Yes!" Qin Yun bowed down with joy and sincerity, and his excited emotions had already spread to his slightly trembling voice.

Everyone retreated, and only the faint drama was still lingering in the entire tea pavilion.

Xuan lay on the fence and looked at the infinite style of the flower dan's eyes with great interest. It was a good play, it was sung very well, and the arrangement was excellent, and his fingertips involuntarily tapped lightly. It's just that this beauty is slightly inferior.

The Song family did decline in the eyes of the people, but the center of power returned to Song Zhonghao's hands.

In people's eyes, only Song Wuye's vein was not implicated in any way in the impact of the private salt case, but he was alone, and even became the head of the family, from a side branch to a descendant, he thought he had won, but he just suffered it on behalf of others.

Song Zhonghao used a Song Wuye to avoid new hatreds and old grudges for his family, and since then, the prince has inherited the emperor's favor alone, corrected his power, and there is no longer any constraints. And Sima Hao was also retained in Beijing, and even served as the commander of the forbidden army, and the Sima family will surely become the new family of power in the Central Plains Dynasty in the future.

And his Song family is still firmly seated in the backing of the upstarts in the DPRK, and by the way, he has won the favor of His Majesty in the future.

It's a pity, I don't have time to play with them anymore, King Molan has passed away, although the inner palace is controlled by henchmen, and there is no mourning, but the throne is empty, which is really not good. Xuan decided that he had to rush back as soon as possible to avoid turmoil in the royal court. Zhai Ke is not afraid now, but an enemy like Song Zhonghao can't still be left alive.

Xuan scattered an ingot of gold as a reward, and the servant picked it up with great gratitude. He was satisfied, which made him think of another woman, how could she not have a protagonist if she was acting.

The snow has stopped, but it's still cold, and it's like a place of seclusion. She was surrounded by marionette-like maidservants and servants, and outside the courtyard stood tall guards, who came and went every day, and no one dared to say a word to her.

He Ge no longer knows what day it is, and he doesn't know what the people outside are doing. She only remembered that night of killing, the blades went in and out of the flesh, the dazzling blood spurted out, the white snow was dyed red, the air died, Yao Qianli died, and Qingfeng ...... The blood, the black blood that spilled out of her seven orifices, meandered all over it, like a poisonous snake, hovering over its subjugated prey, showing off its might.

The most terrifying thing is that this snake actually came from that person's heart!

He Ge felt a chill all over his body, here, or everything about her, was so weird, so terrifying. Killing, death, can easily happen around where your hands can touch! And those pasts that I have always attached myself to now seem to be all lies and deceptions!

Once again, she has become a person who has no past to dare to recall!

He Ge only felt a headache, and whether she wanted to think about it or not, she felt a pain that was difficult to get rid of. What is wrong to put yourself in this terrible and inescapable situation!

She covered her head with her hands and wrapped herself in just the whole thing. The quieter the surroundings, the more scared I become.

Everyone around her is lying, and everyone has woven a big net for themselves, but she is the only one who swims gracefully, like a moth, indulging in a world made of lies, and being in a trap without knowing it.

She suddenly felt that she was extremely ridiculous, she had discovered Ke's unusualness so early, but she had numbed herself again and again to prevent him from thinking about it.

I also made up my mind to know the truth, but I always changed my mind because of a word or two from others, naïve and stupid. Therefore, we should not blame others for all this today.

But what about the future? He Ge raised his head, looked at the black shadow of the mountains in the distance, and suddenly smiled bitterly, where is there any future. In the past, he was Ke's stand-in, but now he has become Xuan's bait. No matter what she is, she is powerless to resist, and she can't escape becoming a pawn that is used and discarded.

But should this really be your own fate? He Ge bit his lip tightly, and there was a trace of unwillingness in his heart. From the beginning, there was no memory, no past, no memory of the future, and no idea what kind of person I was. This may be a gift from God, giving her a chance to live again, so how can she be wasted by her own weakness like this?

Other people's lives are lives, and their own lives are even more lives, and it should be the most precious one.

Even though the mountains in the distance are completely dark, they are also resolute and strong, which is awe-inspiring. No matter how bad the situation is, He Ge suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, it is easy to love someone, so it should not be difficult to hate someone.

"What are you thinking?" Xuan walked in and sat down next to Hege.

He Ge smelled his smell, it was still faint, but it was a smell that belonged to him alone. She turned her face, in a depressed look, her eyes were shining, not angry or happy, the candlelight gently sprinkled the golden halo on her face, the poignant beauty, and a shallow trace of cold and arrogant contempt, unexpectedly hit people's hearts.

Xuan looked at He Ge's face, and his sharp gaze stayed faintly for a few seconds.

He Ge didn't speak, just turned his face back and looked out the window.

The room was quiet for a moment, the candle heart crackled, and Xuan suddenly got up and walked quickly outside.

"The snow has stopped outside, but the wind is cold." He Ge opened her mouth at this time, but no one noticed that her fingertips were tightly squeezed into her palm. Hyun's hand pushing towards the door stopped there.

"It's so quiet, it's so cold, I'm scared all the time. So, I want to go back to my library, okay? He Ge looked at Xuan's back, and he stopped there and didn't speak.

He Ge lowered his eyes, sighed softly, leaned against the window, and watched the white breath exhaled from his mouth slowly disappear. "Now I know that I'm just a pawn between you, so I don't have any extravagant hopes, I just want to live a peaceful life. Please, give me back the hairpin. ”

"Don't be afraid." After a long silence, Hyun finally spoke, his slender fingers running across the dark wooden door frame. "Have you forgotten, I promised to give you a better one, and I won't break my promise."

He Ge was startled, and when he turned back, the man had already pushed the door and left. She looked at the shallow daylight that spilled on the doorframe, and perhaps, there was another chance in this world for her.
