In the imperial study, the people who had just entered the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment were frightened by the situation they saw in front of them.

The fourth prince and the sixth prince both knelt in front of the emperor, and Zhou Youwei was also there.

The two saluted respectfully, but when they saw that the emperor's face was very bad, the two didn't dare to say anything, so they could only wait for the emperor's statement.

"Bring people in!"

A bloody criminal in front of him should have been a big taboo, but at this time, the emperor's face was firm, and people didn't know what he was going to do.

"Say it again!"

"A few days ago, I received a commission to kill a person, that is, Yan Kuogongzi!"

When these people heard this, they couldn't believe their ears, but their faces were even more strange, and they had a feeling that something had been discovered.

"He asked me to kill Yan Kuogongzi, and from him, I took out the secret about the imperial examination, that is, the secret of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and others, who planned to cheat in the imperial examination!"

Ma Wei immediately collapsed to the ground, and immediately denied it: "Your Majesty!

The Emperor gave him a cold look and motioned for him to continue.

"Later, I killed Yan Kuo Gongzi and found those materials in his house. But unexpectedly, in addition to the secrets of the Ministry of Rites, there are also the secrets of the four princes. Because of the quarrel between the four princes and Yan Kuogongzi, it seemed that someone had spread it, so they wanted to set up a blame, so I threw Yan Kuogongzi's body at the door of Tingyuxuan, and then destroyed my own information, and on the last day, gave it to the anxious He Changqing, shaking the matter out and leading it to the four princes!"

These words made the emperor above always pale, and Ma Wei below kept saying that he was wronged.

The emperor threw a list to him.

"See for yourself!

Ma Wei took the list and looked at it, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat with fright.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty forgives your sins!"

Needless to say, this list is also confirmed.

The fraud on the part of the Ministry of Rites is also ingenious, not like the four princes' fame, transcription, and manipulation of those procedures, which are so easy to detect, but a very careful idea.

In fact, it is also a very single method, even if the number "six" appears more than three times in the form of "two or three". In this case, as long as the examiner is on the side, when the paper is marked, it will pass at a glance, even if the deputy examiner marks the paper and does not pass, it can also be spot-checked and reviewed, so that those people can be included in the list. There are few links, and it is not easy to be found.

But this information not only exposed the list of candidates and cheating methods, but also those examiners and other relevant people!

And the main thing is Ma Wei, when the fraud case of the four princes' imperial examinations was exposed, he was already suspected of being set up by the six princes. But I didn't expect that it really was, and this killer was still alive and not eradicated!

At this time, he didn't have the heart to blame Fan Wenzhong and the Six Princes, he was too imprudent, just begging for mercy there.

But he didn't know that in fact, the sixth prince and the fourth prince had only just arrived. The four princes have been kneeling respectfully. And the sixth prince looked confused at first, because he and the fourth prince had just arrived, as soon as he heard this, the six princes were also confused, who was the person who entrusted this commission, and why did he listen to it, it seemed to be his own script.

However, he didn't arrange for anyone to contact the killer, could it be his own teacher? If so, he should have notified him in advance, was he afraid that he would stop it?

"Who touched you!"

His Majesty the Emperor asked sharply, and everyone was terrified. Although the four princes were still respectful, their smiles were already about to be written on their faces.

The sixth prince didn't feel good, he had already guessed that someone from his side did it, and if it was his own teacher, then his own side would be finished!

At this time, Ma Wei had no idea, and he was already very clear about what the fate was waiting for him.

"I ...... I dare not say!"

The killer looked panicked and overwhelmed.

"You're dead anyway, if you don't say it, I'll destroy your nine clans!

The assassin was taken aback, and he said in a bit of a panic.

"He, they're so terrible, I'm afraid to say ......"

"Speak quickly!"

The emperor was really angry, he rarely said the same thing repeatedly, this matter was already disturbing, but he didn't expect that in addition to his own rebel, even an assassin would dare to be disobedient.

"Yes...... It's a very large church—the Cult of No Way!"

There seemed to be a spring thunder outside the window, and the people inside were stunned!

The Four Princes and Zhou Youwei were looking forward to it, and he said the Six Princes or the cronies around the Six Princes according to the plan in advance. Because they also think that only the six princes can use this kind of thing to put themselves to death. Could it be that the people of the Six Princes call themselves "Wufang Sect"?

The Sixth Prince is also blindsided, and he has no way to teach? What is this, he doesn't know at all, this can't be his own teacher's doing, because he has never heard of it.

The three directors of the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Rite Department were also stunned at once! Their faces were frightened, and their eyes were full of fear.

"No! No! It can't be a no-way religion, it's impossible! You're lying!"

Ma Wei shouted, looking panicked.

And His Majesty the Emperor was also surprised by this, he did not have the anger of Tie Qing just now, but became a contemplative and dignified feeling.

After a while, the emperor glanced at Ma Wei, and Ma Wei thought that the rabbit had seen the tiger, so he was so frightened that he lay on the ground and didn't dare to move, and he couldn't even shout "forgive sins" and "spare his life".

"Ma Wei, you explain it to me clearly, I will consider giving you a decent ending, otherwise, not only you, but your entire Ma family, your nine clans, will be buried with you!"

The emperor was completely angry, and Ma Wei also knew his fate, but the matter that affected his family made him panic all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, please spare my wife and child!

Ma Wei fell to his knees, pleading in pain. And at this moment, although the six princes were also flustered, they didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know what this "Wufang Sect" was.

"Who are the people of the Wufang Sect, where they are, what they have done, tell them all, otherwise you and your family will be cut by a thousand cuts!"

The emperor said angrily, Ma Wei was already desperate at this time, and he obviously couldn't let go of his family.

"There are a lot of people, but they are all only single-line development, I only know that the person who developed me is ......"

Seeing this, he was about to confess the news, but Dali Siqing suddenly slapped Ma Wei's head with his palm, and Ma Wei died violently on the spot.

At the moment when Dali Siqing made a move, the eight guards were in front of the emperor, only to see that Xu Tiansheng also made a move immediately, and suddenly appeared in front of Dali Siqing, and the sword was already on his neck. Apparently he had been restrained and kept from moving, after all, he still had to be interrogated.

It's just a pity that the moment he killed Ma Wei, Dali Siqing bit the poison on the side of his teeth and died of poison on the spot.

"God of Bloodlight...... Hooray!"

His lips began to turn purple, his face was bloodshot, his eyes were red, and his seven orifices were bleeding.

"Bastard! Reversed! Reversed!"

His Majesty the Emperor slapped it heavily on the table.

"This Wufang Sect has actually infiltrated into these Three Princes and Nine Qings! Dali Temple! Ministry of Rites! Quickly summon the people from the Imperial Inspectorate!"

The two sons of this earth, now it seems, are just being used by the Sect of No Way!

Because these four princes, in the Zongzheng Temple, there were assassins who broke in, so the emperor asked the two of them to stay in their own mansion honestly, facing the wall and thinking about it! Moreover, he also sent forbidden guards around to ensure safety, and at the same time, he really wanted to put them under house arrest and let them think about it.

And the fourth prince actually, there are still a lot of scenes that have not been acted, for example, he thought that he knew that his sixth brother was the ghost, and persuaded him to turn back, but he didn't expect that the sixth prince actually sent someone to kill him, thanks to Uncle Guo who found the murderer, and then he would save his life. He also thought that when the emperor punished the crime, he begged his younger brother to intercede. However, there is no chance!

This assassin was arrested and tortured again, but there was no discrepancy in what he said, but for those who had no way to teach, he only said that he had not seen their faces, and he did not know who they were, and after the assassination, he also cut off contact.

On the same day, the emperor immediately imprisoned the personnel who cheated in the imperial examination, and also sent people to Ma Wei and Dali Temple to check whether there was any evidence or clues about Wufangjiao.

So, when a large number of people were deleted and ready to be re-released, a large number of people were deleted, so that the students who were waiting for the list to be released waited for a while.

On the other side of the Ximen vegetable market, there was another burst of blood shadow knife light. The executioner's machete was cut bald a few times, and it is said that there was a man who was cut several times because of the bald knife, and his head came down!

And the emperor obviously focused on the matter of the Wufang Sect, because this was not the first time he had heard of this sect. However, he didn't know that the people of this sect had actually grown to such a point and scale.

After the people from the Imperial Guard Division came, he first scolded the people from the Imperial Guard Division and ordered them to investigate the dens and personnel list of the Wufang Sect as soon as possible.

But the sea of people is vast, and after the most powerful clue is broken, the people of the Imperial Inspectorate have never broken through.

At present, His Majesty has already moved his true character, and specially dispatched elite soldiers from the central army, and he has the feeling of going door-to-door and searching for them.

And in the blood-colored bunker, a group of black-robed people had already begun to panic.

"Divine envoy, now that His Majesty has specially transferred troops from other places, it is obvious that he is really serious, and he has abandoned the garrison of the capital, obviously he is suspicious of everyone, if this continues, we will be discovered sooner or later!"

A black-robed man said, and the others also echoed in unison, the current situation, maybe soon the army will turn the capital upside down, and when the time comes, it will really go from house to house, and it will be revealed if it is late.

"That's right, divine envoy, now this time in the Spring Festival, our entire personnel deployment has been disrupted, and now we are exposed again, and now we urgently need something that can divert the attention of the country!"

What this black-robed man said was obviously a bit biased, and his meaning was also obvious, such a big matter, if there is no bigger thing to delay or cover up, it will be difficult to cross in a short period of time.

"In these extraordinary times, everyone is trying to stay quiet. Now in the surrounding areas, the Xia State in the northwest and the Chu State in the south have no chance, and the Wei State in the northeast and the Yan State in the west have the Song army, and the combat power is strong. It seems that the only way to make a fuss is to make a fuss in the east!"

The divine envoy couldn't think of anything that could surprise Song Guo to the maximum, and fell into passivity, but he thought about it for a while, and a fox-like smile appeared in his eyes.

"The royal family of the Chen Kingdom seems to be able to be used!"

So, in the past few days, news has spread out in the Liang State one after another, and the Song State is secretly rescuing the remnants of the Chen royal family in the Liang State, preparing for them to gather the generals and remnants of the old Chen State, intending to launch a mutiny, take back the land for the Chen State, and eventually subvert the entire Liang State.

The royal family of the Chen State also fled to the capital after the destruction of the Chen State, and they begged the Song State to send troops, but at that time, the Song State was chaotic and the soldiers were all around, and there was no time to think about helping them restore the country. The emperor also gave him an official and let them settle down in Song Jing first.

Now, the news of taking in the royal family of Chen State is even more miraculous in Liang State, for example, it is to leave a good excuse for invading Liang State in the future; for example, it is to make the people of Chen State in the past return to Song State, anyway, it is deliberately used to disgust Liang State.

There is even a rumor that the Chen people in Liang have begun to gather secretly, ready to cooperate with the outside at any time.

The monarch of the Liang State was not far away, and when he destroyed the Chen State, he was as happy as anything. But I didn't expect that the Song State peace talks would deliberately engage in this move, thinking of subverting Liang State in the future.

He was very angry, and wanted to order the minister to send heavy troops to the territory of the old Chen State, search one clean, and kill one clean. However, he was stopped by his big Sima.

"Your Majesty, such a high-profile action will obviously intensify the contradictions in the country, and it may give the Song State and the Wei State an opportunity!"

The emperor was a little angry, but he still trusted his big Sima very much in military affairs.

"Oh, do you have any suggestions?"

Da Sima bowed down and said: "Weichen doesn't dare, it's just that we have just subdued Chen Guo, and it takes time to digest it ourselves, if we kill them directly like this, it will obviously make the previous Chen Guoren's hatred for us intensify." I think, in the final analysis, it's because Song Guo is making trouble, and now many people feel that we have to do something to Chen Guo. Then we will do the opposite, we will maintain patience and restraint in Chen Guo, and reward the former ministers. And outside of the state of Chen, the place where it borders with the state of Song......"

Da Sima didn't finish his words, obviously wanting the emperor to be the master himself.

"What does Aiqing mean? Go to war with Song Guo again! Song Guo bullied me so much, I wanted to take it a long time ago! I just don't know, Aiqing has a good plan!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, my spies in the Song Kingdom have already heard clearly about the border defenses around the Song Kingdom, and this time, they will definitely be able to take another Chen State's territory in one go, just like they did with Chen State!"

This big Sima is full of confidence, but the emperor around him is also very excited.

"Okay, with Aiqing's words, I will rest assured! The matter of conquest of the Song Kingdom will be handed over to Aiqing!"

Da Sima immediately saluted and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will definitely live up to his mission, expand the territory for His Majesty, and make contributions to Daliang!"
