But countless lessons in history tell future generations that the monarch who does not control the military power can only become a puppet in the end, Han Lin'er worked hard, but his efforts were in vain, he couldn't control the army, let alone those civil and military generals who were bent on seeking wealth and nobility, his efforts to gather his cronies to resist Zhu Yuanzhang were only failures in the end, helpless failure, all his efforts lost their role in the face of power and swords. In the twelfth year of the dragon and phoenix, that is, in the twenty-sixth year of Yuan Zhizheng, after Liao Yongzhong pushed him into the river, he completely became a passerby and history in the mouths of historians and the people.

He didn't deserve to die, he escaped death, the river didn't swallow his life, and he didn't know how he survived. By chance, he worshiped under the master's door, perhaps because he opened up new wisdom after experiencing life and death, or maybe it was the unwillingness that made him unwilling to condescend to others, and he secretly vowed to get back what belonged to him. In the divination operator and Pudu monk, he learned a skill, although in the end he was reluctantly expelled from the division, but his ambition did not change, after sneaking into the south of the Yangtze River, he gave himself the name of Tianyi Daoren, practiced medicine and medicine, preached and became famous, and accumulated strength. The reason why it is named Tianyi Daoren is to change the world one day.

After ten years of hard work, Han Lin'er founded the Tianxia Alliance in the name of his disciples, and there were thousands of disciples under his disciples, and his strength was getting bigger and bigger. But all this, all the ingenious planning and careful layout, was ruined by a young man who was not yet twenty years old, and the funny thing is that this young man was also using his own pseudonym back then, and that pseudonym was just made up casually at the time to deceive people. What's even more coincidental is that this young man turned out to be Zhang Shicheng's son. Back then, it was Zhang Shicheng's capriciousness that made Liu Futong hate, and he lost the best opportunity to restore the Great Song Dynasty to the world, and now, it is Zhang Shicheng's son again, so that his efforts have come to naught again.

Now, this young man who has two generations of enmity with him has come over, Han Lin'er's eyes are getting more and more blurred, and he can't see this young man's face clearly, he wants to see this person clearly, he has become a powerful ghost and wants to come back to take revenge, but he can't do it.

Yao Guangqi walked to Han Lin'er's corpse, probed his nose, and confirmed that he was certain to die, his mood suddenly felt very lost, he let out a long sigh, staring at the corpse in a daze.

Murong Qing, Chen Ping'an and others had already come behind Yao Guangqi, seeing Yao Guangqi so expressive, they didn't make a sound, they looked at the corpse on the ground silently, and after a while, Chen Qiliu took the lead in opening his mouth and said: "Our movement tonight is too big, now is not the time to be stunned, we have to clean up quickly, we can't leave traces." ”

Yao Guangqi knew the severity, he immediately led everyone to withdraw, leaving only a few people who had taken care of the aftermath, just walked two streets, the Shen Building behind them was already in flames, Yao Guangqi looked back, sighed again, turned around and disappeared into the night.

A fire in Shen Lou was indeed extraordinary, and before dawn, a group of officers and soldiers from Ying Tianfu's government and soldiers patrolling the streets blocked several streets around Shen Lou and put them under martial law. As soon as the day dawned, a large number of Jinyiwei also came to the scene, and Jinyiwei attached great importance to this matter, in addition to Tongzhi Tanaka Tong personally led the team, there were also Zhao Quanyou and three thousand households in the team. As soon as Jin Yiwei arrived, the people from Ying Tianfu and the Soldiers and Horses Division immediately hid aside, and Jin Yiwei didn't talk nonsense, and the case was handed over silently. After some on-site investigation, Senhu Schneider came to Tanaka with a blackened thin wooden stick.

Tanaka pointed at the black stick and frowned and asked, "What is this?" ”

Schneider looked at the stick and replied, "It should be the shaft of the arrow, this is the arrowhead, but it may not be the same arrow, so it can't be installed." As he spoke, he spread out his other hand and handed a black object in his hand to Tanaka.

Tanaka Tong didn't reach out to pick it up, but just asked: "There are arrow shafts and arrowheads, can you be sure that it was not a fire, but someone deliberately set it on fire after the fight, right?" ”

Schneider bowed and replied: "My lord Mingjian, it is true, although they cleaned up very cleanly afterwards, but they still left clues, there are a few corners of the blood stains have not been completely wiped off, and the arrows have not all been taken away, this arrow was missed, or this arrow was burned black before the scene was cleaned up, they were in a hurry to deal with the aftermath, it was dark again, this arrow was leaked, in addition, from this blackened arrow, you can find some other clues, you see, this arrow shaft is very interesting, not bamboo." ”

"What's that?" Tanaka took the shaft of the arrow and looked at it carefully.

Schneider replied calmly, "Oak." ”

"Oak?" Tanaka frowned, "Are you sure?" ”

"There shouldn't be anything wrong with that." Schneider nodded: "You know, most of the arrows in the southern provinces are made of bamboo, and only the military households north of the Central Plains will use oak wood to make arrow shafts." ”

Tanaka frowned and said, "What else have you found?" ”

Schneider took the shaft of the arrow and said, "You see, this arrow is thick and short, and only crossbow arrows use such arrows." But this arrow is more special, shorter and thicker than ordinary crossbow arrows, and I am familiar with the crossbows used by all the guards of the pro-army in Beijing, and none of them use this kind of arrow. ”

Tanaka asked, "What does that mean?" Not for the military? Is it used by people from the north? ”

Schneider denied: "Never, I guess it could be over there." Schneider's hand pointed to the north.

Tanaka didn't understand: "Who?" ”

Schneider explained: "The subordinates are just guessing, last year's Yan King's northern expedition, it is said that in the Yan King's escort army, equipped with a new type of repeater, long range, powerful, can shoot the Mongols from 200 paces away, you know, the general crossbow will make the arrow a little shorter, and if you want to make the crossbow arrow shoot farther, not only the mechanism must be more powerful, but the arrow must also be heavier, otherwise it will fly." ”

Tanaka frowned: "Now these are just speculations, we haven't seen that kind of crossbow yet, and it can't be used as evidence yet." And even if it is determined that this arrow is that kind of crossbow, it can't be concluded that it is related to King Yan, what if someone stole the crossbow of the soldiers in the army? Don't tell others about your reasoning, just you and I can do it. Let's continue to look for other clues and see if we can find new clues. Let's be careful these days, Fang Keqin shook out that the case is getting bigger and bigger, and it has made our commanders and adults anxious, and the case has been in the sky, and I heard that even the prince was beaten in front of His Majesty. It is said that the vassal kings are also going to enter Beijing, and there may be great changes in the court, at this time, we must not make trouble, and we must not be sloppy in handling cases, in case something goes wrong, at this critical time, we can't afford to be guilty. ”

Schneider nodded, and turned to look for other evidence.

In the case of Shen Lou, because the aftermath of Chen Ping'an and others was very thoughtful, the yamen and Jinyiwei at all levels did not find any strong evidence, Jinyiwei did not take over, and threw it back to Ying Tianfu and the Terracotta Division, so it did not make too many waves, and the focus of the government and the opposition at this time was focused on the empty seal case, and the officials were all in danger, but they sought self-protection, for fear of implicating themselves, so the people of Ying Tianfu did not delve into it, and the officials who did the errand just pretended to investigate for a few days, and hastily decided the case in the name of fire. It was reported to the Criminal Department.

After the night in Shen Lou, Yao Guangqi decided to hibernate for a while, first, to avoid the limelight, and secondly, he began to focus more on the public opinion of the court and officialdom. However, during those days, although he lived in seclusion, he kept correspondingly with Zhu Di for a while. Especially after Zhu Di returned to Beijing, Yao Guangqi did his best to collect news and public opinion from all parties in secret, and did not choose to return to Yanwangfu to meet Zhu Di immediately, because he weighed it before Zhu Di returned to Beijing, Zhu Di just entered Beijing and offered treasure in front of the emperor to steal the limelight, and at this moment it was the focus of everyone's attention, and immediately met with Zhu Di. The effect is more ideal.

No matter how well you plan, there will be unexpected changes, especially those related to people. The development of the situation disrupted Yao Guangqi's assumption of hibernation, and the kings in the capital showed their magical powers, making the already obscure situation even more confusing, and the prince's attitude became more and more ambiguous and elusive, and outside of the kings, the sudden return to Beijing of Guo Huan, the deputy suzerain of Leixianzong, who had been out of the way, added a trace of uncertainty to the situation, so on the night of the second day when the Criminal Department broke out a total of three major cases of King Qin and King Yan at the same time, Yao Guangqi secretly sneaked back to King Yan's mansion.

Yao Guangqi did not go directly to Zhu Di's Wen'an Xiaozhu, but quietly came to the place he had dreamed of many times, the small courtyard where he lived when he first came to the palace, and the taboo courtyard where he once lived. Yao Guangqi fell into the yard quietly, he accidentally found that his house was actually lit up, Yao Guangqi was curious, quietly came to the front, held the window and looked, a woman was concentrating on being a female red in the house, this woman was no one else, it was the maid who was waiting for him to wash the inkstone, Yao Guangqi smiled with relief, her name was still given by herself, on a whim, Yao Guangqi suddenly jumped into the house, and deliberately made a lot of movement when he landed.

As soon as Xi Yan looked up and saw a man in black appear in front of her, she was almost frightened and fainted when she opened her mouth, and was about to shout loudly, but Yao Guangqi urgently covered her mouth, Xi Yan saw that it was Yao Guangqi, her eyes widened in surprise, and her mouth kept whining.

Yao Guangqi whispered: "Be quiet, don't let people hear that I'm back." ”

Xi Yan nodded, but she still didn't control it, and as soon as Yao Guangqi's hand was released, she shouted loudly: "Great." Childe, how are you. You're back, great! ”

Xi Yan's sentence made Yao Guangqi both helpless and funny, but fortunately, Xi Yan immediately realized that his scream was too loud, stood up excitedly, pulled Yao Guangqi's arm, and didn't know whether he was excited or wronged, and said with a cry and a smile: "Childe, you can count it back, if you don't come back, I don't know what to do." ”
