In Kyoto, Wu Guangguang and others began to intensify the interrogation of Yu Ban and others. The crimes of these criminals are easy to convict, but Delong is afraid of protégés who are banned all over the world. Only by listing and publishing his crimes to the world can the people of the world be convinced. Otherwise, Delong, the newly ascended emperor, would be difficult to block the criticism of the people of the world.

After several days of tracking, Duan Lang still did not find any trace of Lord Huai. As a last resort, Duan Lang came to Dali Temple again, and he wanted to ask some about Ruimu's situation in the forbidden body to see if he could find clues.

Seeing that the important ministers of the court and the central government who were interrogated by the three halls were arraigning Chu Baoxiong, Duan Lang did not enter the hall, but came directly to the prison of Dali Temple.

"Lord Duan, who are you?" When the cell boss saw Duan Lang coming, he hurriedly asked respectfully.

"Open the door, I want to see Yu Ban."

"Lord Duan, do you have the consent of my family?"

"They are trying Chu Baoxiong, and I didn't go there. Don't worry, someone will blame me. Duan Lang said softly.

The cell leader nodded helplessly, he knew that Duan Lang was now in power, not to mention his family Lord Fan, even Xiangguo Wu Guangguang would not dare to provoke Duan Lang.

Duan Lang came to Yu Ban's cell again, and since he learned the identity of Lord Huai, Duan Lang still had many questions in his heart. And some of these doubts cannot be found, only the elders of the Three Dynasties like Yu Ban may still be able to remember some of the circumstances of the year.

In just a few days, Yu Ban seemed to have aged by more than ten years all of a sudden. The unkempt white hair and cloudy eyes have long lost the image of the wisdom of the past. Seeing Duan Lang coming in, Yu Ban's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Why, do you have to see off the old man so soon?"

"Don't worry, I'm idle, come and talk to you." Duan Lang said and sat opposite Yu Ban.

"Duan Lang, can you tell me about the news outside? The old man has been in charge of every opportunity over the years, and when he is idle at first glance, he is really a little uncomfortable. Yu Ban laughed miserably.

Duan Lang nodded, "Yes, but I'm afraid none of these news are what you want to hear." The lower pass has been taken over by He Lianjia, and when I went, I specially released Feng Zhun and Wei Ran. Now it seems that Emperor Yuning asked Feng Zhun to return to his hometown, but he was a blessing in disguise. In addition, I personally went to the Southern Theater of Operations in the capital city, I don't know what you think of Yan Facheng, will it be the opposite? ”

Yu Ban sighed and shook his head, "Prince Dezhang is dead, and although Yan Facheng has a heavy army, he is loyal to Great Xia in his heart. Duan Lang, how is my family? ”

Duan Lang looked at Yu Ban, who was a little desolate, and said softly, "The Criminal Department has taken a lot of people, but the female dependents are still grounded in the mansion and waiting to be released." ”

Yu Ban's body trembled, "Duan Lang, can you ~ shelter my people?" Although the old man is a little abrupt, but in the entire Great Xia except for you, I'm afraid no one can save them. ”

"Yu Ban, I'm just a general guarding the border. The affairs of the DPRK and the central government, in the next do not want to get involved. Duan Lang said euphemistically.

"Duan Lang, sheltering my clansmen is very beneficial to you."

"Oh? Because the people who sheltered you made me provoke the wrath of Delon, and you still said that it was beneficial? ”

"Duan Lang, although the old man has become a prisoner, the old man still has a certain degree of confidence in seeing people and things. Don't look at Delon's use of you very much now, in time, he will treat you as a serious problem. If that day really comes, no matter what you Duan Lang does, you must get the support of the people of the world. Don't forget that the old man has many disciples, and even if Delong cleans it, he can't finish it. If you can shelter the old man's family, the disciples will be grateful. When you raise your arms, they will also call out from afar. ”

Duan Lang smiled faintly, "Don't forget that I am not friend or foe with you, how do you know that the disciple will not fall into the well, but call for it from afar." ”

Yu Ban looked at Duan Lang with sharp eyes, "In their hearts, my biggest enemy in Yu Ban is Delong, and you Duan Lang are just pawns acting on orders." The old man has little time to ask for, if you feel embarrassed or disdainful, just assume that the old man has not said this. ”

Duan Lang thought for a while, nodded and said, "I'll try as much as I can, if Delong insists, I can't help it." He is a king, I am a minister, don't blame me for breaking my word. ”

Yu Ban sat on the bed, clenched his fists with both hands, and leaned down deeply, "Thank you, old man." ”

Duan Lang picked up the teapot and poured a bowl of water for Yu Ban, "Yu Ban, do you want to know who Lord Huai is?" ”

Yu Ban was stunned, "What's the matter, he was also taken down?" ”

Duan Lang shook his head, "This person is more cunning than you, and he hasn't been arrested yet." However, his identity is truly shocking. And there are not many people who know his identity, and he is one of them. Guess who he would be? ”

Yu Ban looked at Duan Lang suspiciously, thought for a while and said, "Although I am a courtier with him, this person's whereabouts are secretive and rarely contacted. Even if these months are a bit more frequent, it's hard to judge. However, from the few words that were occasionally leaked by this person, the old man suspected that he was a former courtier. I also asked Gao Zhizan to specifically check the missing ministers of the previous dynasty, but they didn't match the number. The old man has another suspicion, maybe he is from your Duan family. This is also after you told me my identity, the old man had this suspicion. ”

Duan Lang couldn't help but admire Yu Ban's shrewdness, and he could actually judge that Lord Huai was a former courtier only from the words that occasionally leaked, and this judgment was beyond ordinary people.

"Actually, you judged it right, he is indeed a courtier during the period of Emperor Jian'an."

"Oh? Who will it be, in the fourth year of Emperor Jian'an, the old man was ranked among the six important ministers, and in the seventh year of Jian'an, the old man was the first of the hundred officials. If it is an old man in the Jian'an period, the old man should be very familiar. ”

"This person, maybe you really don't really know it. He is Ruimu, the head of the internal guard of Emperor Jian'an. After Emperor Jian'an ascended the throne, he fought for many years, and it was not until the fourth year of Jian'an that he pacified the world and returned to the court. But at that time, Mizuki had already ~ been beheaded. ”

"What? Mizuki? It can't be, he is the public enemy of Great Xia, and the beheading record is very detailed. Yu Ban said in surprise.

"It is indeed him, and there is no falsehood. Yesterday, I went to the Internal Affairs Office to check the information of that year, but Wang Sheng, the head of the scroll, said that these records had already been taken away by the people in the palace. So, I wanted to know what it was like. ”

"Is it really him? Doesn't that mean ~Yuning~. Yu Ban looked at Duan Lang in shock.

Duan Lang nodded, "It should be Emperor Yuning looking for someone to die for him, these things can't be pursued anymore, I just want to know some of Ruimu's situation." ”

Yu Ban's heart fluctuated a little, calmed down slightly, and said, "Back then, the old man, as a servant of the ministry, although he didn't have much contact with this Ruimu, he was also shocked by his crimes. Speaking of which, thanks to you Shadow Bearers. If it weren't for the shadow man who was at the Moro National Secret Station back then and sneaked into the palace and saw a confidential document, he wouldn't have found out that this Ruimu was actually a secret envoy sent by Moro to Great Xia for many years. ”

"Oh? And what's going on? It seems that the Shadow Artist's exploits are indeed great. ”

"Duan Lang, although your grandfather Duan Tianya has made meritorious contributions to Great Xia, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have sneered at you shadow masters. Don't look at your grandfather, who has no official position or position, but he is in power. To put it mildly, your grandfather was a dog raised by Emperor Jian'an. In addition to being loyal to Emperor Jian'an, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were among the shadows. This is not the old man's angry words, the shadow artist has a bad reputation among the civil and military generals. But this does not deny that the shadow artist has made immortal achievements for Great Xia. Therefore, when the shadow was eradicated, no courtier stood up to intercede. However, when it comes to the exploits of the filmmaker, everyone has to accept it. ”

Duan Lang frowned slightly, "Let's talk about Ruimu." ”

Yu Ban nodded, "On that day, Emperor Jian'an of the Two Realms Mountain was in the middle of the plan, and when it was in danger, your grandfather led the shadow to kill. not only saved Emperor Jian'an, but also used a counter-trick to transmit information in the name of Ruimu to kill a prince of Moro Kingdom. After the victory, Emperor Jian'an was seriously injured and needed to return to Landu City in time for treatment. And the heavy task of killing the traitor Ruimu fell on Yu Ning's head. It's just that I didn't expect that Emperor Yuning actually stole the beam and changed the pillar to save Ruimu. Now it seems that in the fourth year of Jian'an, Yuning had the ambition to ascend the throne and began to recruit capable people to plan for the future. ”

"So, Mizuki is from Moro?"

"Yes, pure Moro people."

"That~ The Sa Divine Doctor who treated Emperor Yuning last time is a native of Moro?"

Yu Ban was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "It should be." ”

"Then do you know where that Doctor Sa went?"

Yu Ban shook his head, "During those days, Emperor Yuning was very strict with me, and the old man rarely knew about the affairs in the palace. ”

"Then Lord Yu knows Ruimu, who did he have a close relationship with at that time?"

At that time, Ruimu followed Emperor Jian'an around on his personal expeditions, and the people who came into contact with him were some military generals. But to say that there are close contacts~ I really can't think of anyone. ”

Duan Lang asked some more about the situation back then, and it seemed that Yu Ban didn't know much about this Ruimu. After some conversation, Duan Lang left the prison. Seeing that it was still going on in the lobby, Duan Lang didn't bother, and directly led people back to the Heavenly Master Hall.

As soon as Duan Lang entered the Heavenly Master Palace, Zhou Hu greeted him and said, "Duan Shuai, the seventh uncle has arrived and is in the master's room. ”

"Great, how is Uncle Zhou?" Duan Lang asked as he walked.

"It's not very good, and I'm feverish, and I'm still in a coma. The imperial doctor came to see and grabbed a few pills. ”

"Let's go, let's see."

Duan Lang hurriedly came to the backyard, and as soon as he entered the inner room, he saw Han Feng sitting on the edge of the bed with a heavy expression, looking at Zhou Guangji who was in a coma.

"Uncle Seven, you've arrived." Duan Lang said softly.

Han Feng nodded and pointed outward, which meant not to disturb Zhou Guangji, and went outside to talk.

The two walked out of the inner room, and Han Feng said, "I've already asked about the situation, but I didn't expect it to be the old thief from Ruimu." Duan Lang, how are the clues being traced? ”

Duan Lang shook his head, "So far, there is no clue. By the way, Uncle Seven, I'll show you something. After reading it, you may be able to solve the mystery in your heart. ”

Duan Lang called Ah Zhu out, took out the interrogation file and handed it to Han Feng. Seeing the name on the file, Han Feng was also shocked, and hurriedly flipped through it. Duan Lang didn't bother and stood quietly aside.

After reading all the content, Han Feng suddenly cried in a suppressed voice. Duan Lang did not dissuade him, Han Feng had been suspicious for so many years. He even said that all his brothers were among his suspicions back then. But when he really wanted to expose it, Han Feng felt guilty instead. He felt sorry for the trust between the brothers, and felt even more sad and angry for his eldest brother Qi Zhongshan.

Duan Lang said softly, "Seventh Uncle, the shadow has no inner ghosts, I will pay tribute to your uncles on behalf of the Duan family." ”

"Big brother, he~ actually suffered such a poisonous hand~. Old thief Ruimu, I, Han Feng, will not kill you, and I will not be a man. Han Feng said tremblingly.

"Seventh Uncle rest assured, not only Ruimu, but also that Sa, I will use their blood to pay tribute to Qi Bo's spirit in the sky."

"Duan Lang, I don't know if this person is still in the city, there are many secrets in the world, once he escapes, it may be difficult to find him. However, I believe that Mizuki will never forget his hatred, and he will probably come to you on his own initiative. From now on, you must be very careful when traveling. ”

"Come on, I'll wait for him. Mizuki was seriously injured, and if he was still in the castle, he might have taken refuge in the mansion of the adults he had thought of before. Today, I went to check his information, but I didn't find out that there was a big person with whom he had a close relationship back then. ”

Han Feng shook his head, "During the period of Emperor Jian'an, the palace had strict laws, and the ministers were absolutely not allowed to make friends with foreign ministers, and our shadow artists also controlled this very strictly. Even if Na Ruimu has a good relationship, he can only be a minister in the palace. ”

"Miyauchi?" Duan Lang was stunned, he had been looking for the ministers, but he didn't expect this aspect in the palace. As soon as Han Feng reminded him, Duan Lang realized that he was looking in the wrong direction at all. As the head of the internal guard, Mizuki will definitely have a few good friends. These people may still be on duty in the palace.

"Uncle Seven, I'll enter the palace now. You're right, Mizuki is very familiar with the palace, and he has all kinds of entry and exit tokens in the palace. Perhaps, this old ghost is hiding in the palace. ”

Duan Lang didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took a few guards and rode to the palace. Han Feng woke up Duan Lang with a word, there is no safer place in this Kyoto than hiding in the imperial palace.

Delong, who was reviewing the folds, couldn't help but be a little surprised to learn that Duan Lang was looking for clues about Lord Huai in the palace. But after Duan Lang said the reason, Delong was also a little afraid. If Lord Huai really hides in the palace, it will also be a threat to him.

Delong immediately ordered Mr. Liu to cooperate with Duan Lang in the investigation. In addition to the forbidden place of the harem, Delong gave Duan Lang the greatest authority.

If you want to track down the old slaves during the Jian'an Emperor's period, of course, you have to go to the old people's home. When Duan Lang followed Manager Liu into the nursing home, he was surprised that the Internal Affairs Office was also here to handle the case. When Duan Lang asked, he found out that a retired old eunuch had been killed a few days ago. It is said that the death of an old slave in the palace is not a big deal. But this old eunuch is different, he is the one who has served as the head of the worship room. In the palace rank, this is the highest level of ministers. What's more, being killed, this is also a big deal in the palace.

Duan Lang's heart moved, and his heart said that it wouldn't be so coincidental. He was just about to come to inquire about Mizuki when someone was killed. Duan Lang followed the case-handling officials to Fulin's bedroom, and after careful inquiries inside and outside, Duan Lang actually found a cotton ball stained with blood where he threw garbage outside the room.

"Come on, bring this old eunuch's file and I'll take a look." Duan Lang commanded.

A deacon and eunuch in the palace brought Fu Lin's dossier. Duan Lang looked at it and immediately saw the connection between this Fulin and Ruimu. Don't look at Fu Lin as the head of the worship room during the period of Emperor Yuning, but he entered the palace as a eunuch in the early days of Jian'an. At that time, it was the time when Mizuki was in charge of the internal guards.

"If the old ghost Huai is really hiding in the blessed place, then why kill him? Could it be that Fulin had to tell Delong that he was killed? ”

Duan Lang was puzzled in his heart, and asked Manager Liu, "This blessing, did you do anything before you died?" ”

Liu Zhida was stunned, "Master Duan, our family has always followed the master, and rarely asks about the affairs of the nursing home. Wait a minute, let's ask. ”

Liu Zhi called the deacon of the old people's home, and after questioning, he learned that this old eunuch of Fu Lin actually recommended an old eunuch who went south to deliver the decree to the celebrant a few days ago. But after inquiry, there was no information about the old eunuch in the palace.

Hearing this, Duan Lang's face suddenly turned pale. Without asking, he could guess who the old eunuch was. I tracked it down in Kyoto in a thousand ways, but I didn't expect the old ghost to hide next to Mingyue. Thinking of such a poisonous snake hiding beside Mingyue, Duan Lang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Don't have an accident, don't have an accident, I hope it's in time."

Duan Lang didn't want to greet anyone, and left the palace on horseback. Not far from the palace here, Duan Lang whistled into the air. He had to ask Da Fei to inform Mingyue quickly, no matter whether there was an accident or not, Duan Lang had to know the situation.

Da Fei took a few words written by Duan Langhastily, flapped his wings and flew south. At this time, Duan Lang was standing in the middle of the avenue, and the whole person seemed to be stupid.
