"Tan Xian, I heard that you are a local prison soldier, you are very brave and courageous, when you went out on patrol, you met bandits, and you also beheaded three heads?"

Tan Xian smiled, "Xianggong Wang, thank you for your intentions, although the slave is a eunuch, it is not without bones, this time the slave and maid committed a big crime and made a big mistake, what tricks do you have, just use it, even if you admit it with a thousand cuts, don't expect our family to say anything, climb this, frame that, our family will not do it!" ”

Turning his head, he smiled very calmly, "Our family has been a eunuch in this life, if we don't cultivate virtue, will it be possible to be a eunuch for the rest of our lives?" So, our family won't say anything, and whatever you say is in vain! ”

Wang Ningan remained silent, glanced at Zhao Shu next to him, and the little prince rushed out with a snort.

"Good you bold slave! Who gave you the guts to dare to mobilize people without permission? ”

Tan Xian glanced at Zhao Shu and said lightly: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid is indeed too bold, but the slave maid has no other thoughts, and the news came from the secret spy department at that time, saying that Yu Zang Huama was going to surrender." The slave maid thought that as long as he surrendered, he would be able to take Lingzhou and establish immortality, so the slave maid decided to take the risk! ”

"Are you talking nonsense, 100,000 troops, the entire northwest war situation, is it just such a child's play?"

"Definitely!" Tan Xian sneered: "At that time, the slave and maid didn't know that they would fail, Your Highness, to put it mildly, if the slave and maid win the bet, they will be the heroes of the restoration of Lingzhou, but I am afraid that His Royal Highness will personally welcome the slave and maid!" Since ancient times, the king has been defeated, the slave and the maid have lost the gamble, and they are willing to accept the punishment, but the slave and the maid will never implicate others! ”

Zhao Shu was young in the end, and his face turned pale with anger.

Is it over if you lose a bet?

That's 70,000 people, without the instructions of all parties, without complete procedures, just with him as a eunuch, how can he mobilize so many people?

Is it really the rules of the Great Song Dynasty to be an ornament?

Zhao Shu asked a few words repeatedly, and Tan Xian was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

"Great treachery, great evil, stubborn! Sir, let's be punished! ”

Wang Ningan groaned, smiled and waved his hand.

"Tan Xian, Wang Moujing, you once worked hard for the Great Song Dynasty, and you will not be tortured. It's just that based on what you said, the military information that the secret spy division will get will be transferred to you privately, and you can't run away from the crime of bullying the king, what do you think? ”

"This ......" Tan Xian hesitated, "This is Gonggong Shen's business, and it's hard for our family to say." ”

"Hahaha, Tan Xian, since you mentioned Shen Duan, then I will ask you to go and see him."

As soon as Wang Ningan waved his hand, someone immediately came, a total of four people, left and right, front and back, holding Tan Xian hostage, and also preventing him from hurting people or escaping.

Wang Ning'an and the crown prince walked in front, and they soon came to a small courtyard next to the heavenly prison.

This is also part of the Heavenly Prison, and is only used to hold important criminals.

As the director of the secret spy department, Shen Duan is also one of the best figures in the inner court, and he is very closely guarded.

Wang Ning'an showed the holy decree, and Cao Tong, the uncle in charge of the caretaker, let him go.

While walking inside, Cao Tong kept lamenting: "Erlang, the case is not easy to handle, Shen Duan is crazy!" ”

Wang Ningan had heard about it a long time ago, so he was not surprised.

It's just that Shen Duan is crazy, this move is too good, if he is normal, under Miki, he is not afraid of not moving, if he dies, then he can also expand the scope of investigation, and anyone who has dealings with Shen Duan will not be able to run.

But it's crazy!

Say you don't die, you don't live!

It's the most difficult thing to do!

Zhao Shu couldn't help but complain on the side, "Uncle, how did you take care of it, why did you make Shen Duan crazy?" ”

Cao Tong spread his hands, as if he had eaten bitter gourd.

"Your Highness, this madness is not something I can control? Shen Duan used to hold great power, but he suddenly fell from heaven to hell, and he was aggrieved in his heart, so he naturally went crazy, I, I can't help it! ”

As soon as Uncle Cao Guo's words came out, Wang Ningan shook his head.

"Not necessarily...... Uncle Guo, who is Shen Duan? He is the person chosen by His Majesty to take charge of the secret spy department, if it is not for his tenacity and deep temperament, how can he suppress all parties? How could such a character go crazy so easily? ”

Cao Yan's face became more and more ugly, "I was indeed negligent, could it be that he was pretending to be crazy?" No, it's not right......" Cao Tong shook his head again and again, "Erlang, you don't know, when he was just locked in, people from the Imperial City Division came to check it, for three days, pricked with needles, moxibustion, scratched the soles of his feet, and poked his fingers...... No matter how much he tossed, he didn't react at all, and he didn't know the pain, and he didn't know the itch...... You say, who would do this except a madman? ”

When he said this, Wang Ningan was surprised.

It's just that no matter what, he doesn't believe that Shen Duan is crazy by himself, is it possible that someone used medicine to make him crazy?

remembered that Qian Yi once cleaned up Li Qing and made him delirious.

Later, Qian Yi also said that there are indeed some strange recipes that can make people crazy, and there are them in the palace, and when he was a doctor, he also diagnosed a few crazy concubines, some people said that they couldn't stand loneliness, but Qian Yi found that their pulse was not emotional stasis, long-term depression, and then they became crazy, but it was like sudden poisoning, and they went crazy.

It's just that the palace secret has never been fruitful, and then it will not be over.

Wang Ning'an stopped, "Your Highness, Uncle Guo, let's make a simple deduction, you say, after Shen Duan, is there anyone?" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Shu said firmly: "Shen Duan was recommended by Old Man Chen, he has only been in power for six or seven years, and his foundation is not deep, he can't command the political affairs hall, and he can't affect the forbidden army and the border army, if no one helps behind his back, he will definitely not dare to gamble!" ”

"Hmmm! In this case, if Tan Xian has a problem, arrest Shen Duan immediately, you are the person behind Shen Duan, will you believe that he can keep his mouth shut? ”

"Don't believe it!" This time, Cao Tong replied: "In such a big case, Your Majesty vomited blood, and the world shook, how big is Shen Duan's shoulders to carry all the blame?" If I were the one behind him, I would definitely be the killer...... Uh-no, it's not! Cao Tong corrected: "Killing him will only make the case bigger, and the best way is to make him - crazy!" ”

Cao Tong suddenly realized, "I see, it looks like this, there must be something wrong with Shen Duan's madness, but we have no evidence!" ”

Wang Ningan said: "Uncle Guo, who has been in contact with Shen Duan these days. ”

"No, he is the key criminal of Tianzi No. 1, even a few of us who are in charge of guarding it have to act together, and the people sent over to guard it are all temporary lots, and they will not give outsiders a chance to do it at all."

"Outsiders can't do it, but what about your own people?" Wang Ningan asked.

"It can't be, no one has touched him, no ......"

"That's not right!" Zhao Shu was very clever, and immediately retorted: "Uncle, you just said that the people from the Imperial City Division checked him to see if he was crazy or not?" ”

Cao Tong suddenly laughed, "Your Highness, this Imperial City Division and the Secret Spy Division are fighting fiercely with each other for power. Do you say that the Imperial City Division can command Shen Duan? Shen Duan had an accident, why did they make a move, let Shen Duan go crazy, what good did it do them? ”

Cao Tong's words are very reasonable, as two competitive incentives, how can they help each other, eager for each other to die?

This is indeed counterintuitive.

It's just that Wang Ning'an's brain is more active...... When he wrestled with those ministers in the inner court, he was never clear-cut, he seemed to be an ally, secretly betrayed, looked like an enemy, and secretly held hands...... It's just a daily routine.

What's more, the Imperial City Division and the Secret Spy Division are both people in the palace, they still have common interests, and they are all from the palace...... Wang Ningan's face changed suddenly, he remembered Han Zhongyan's message, it seemed that Tan Xian had mentioned that Gonggong Shen and Gonggong Chen would help the secret spy department speak.

Needless to say, Shen Duan, it's just that this father-in-law Chen, I'm afraid it's the boss Chen Lin, right?

Suck!

Wang Ning'an's face suddenly changed greatly.

If anyone would betray Zhao Zhen, Wang Ningan believed it.

Only Chen Lin, who was an old eunuch who had accompanied the emperor for decades, was loyal. Wang Ningan has been in contact with Chen Lin, the old eunuch is very good, he is also very polite to the martial arts, has a conscience, has a liver and gallbladder, and is a rare good old man.

How could he risk the world's condemnation and bury tens of thousands of people?

Impossible, impossible!

Wang Ningan's first reaction was not to believe it at all.

But, but...... The most taboo thing to do in any case is to have a preconceived idea...... Recall, over the years, there have been a lot of things in the palace of the Great Song Dynasty?

Not to mention the death of so many princes, just the poisoning of the prince and the poisoning of the queen is appalling enough!

The people in the palace were all brought out by Chen Lin.

Is the old eunuch really as clean as it seems?

I'm afraid to think about everything...... Wang Ningan was silent for a long time, he felt that although Chen Lin's possibility was not large, he could not give up the investigation.

After all, Chen Lin, as the head of the inner palace, was Shen Duan's direct boss, and it was he who recommended Shen Duan to take over the secret spy department...... Besides, Shen Duan instructed the government hall not to move, but Chen Lin can do it!

With decades of good karma, how many ministers has he helped to resolve the crisis, and how many children of the clan have been helped...... I'm afraid I can't count them.

Although this old ancestor is low-key, when it comes to influence, I am afraid that any prime minister may not be able to catch up...... Although this idea is quite ridiculous, the more I analyze it, the more I feel that Chen Lin is not so innocent.

"Uncle Guo, please go and invite Gonggong Chen."

Cao Yan's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Erlang, you won't doubt Gonggong Chen, right?" ”

"I want to know the situation, why did he push Shen Duan."

Cao Tong was skeptical, but he couldn't believe it.

But he had no choice, so he had to make a trip, and almost an hour later, he used a soft sedan chair to carry Chen Lin over. The old eunuch got down from the sedan chair, his figure was rickety, there was not much silver hair left on his head, and he was aging everywhere, seeing him like this, Wang Ningan also began to waver.

Maybe I'm really wrong?

After walking a few steps, Wang Ningan supported Chen Lin and walked into the signing room of the prison.

"Father-in-law Chen, I invited you here, I have offended a lot, and I ask you to forgive me."

Chen Lin's face was full of shame, "The old slave is a sinner, and he recommended Shen Duan, a brute!" The old slave is ashamed of the saint, and he can't wait to die immediately! Ahem......"

The old eunuch coughed again, as if his lungs were about to come out, which was really distressing.

Wang Ningan suddenly felt that he was a little too cruel.

"Father-in-law Chen, Shen Duan has committed a big crime, but he is crazy now, I'm afraid he can't ask anything."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Lin's shou eyebrows trembled slightly, and then he said: "Wang Xianggong, no matter what you do with Shen Duan, the old slave has nothing to say. ”

Wang Ningan nodded, "Gonggong Chen, don't you want to see Shen Duan?" ”

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, if he violates the Heavenly Rules, he should go to the eighteenth layer of hell!" In any case, it is self-inflicted, and you cannot live! ”
