"That time, I was lucky not to be caught by the prince." Xiao Rushui unchangeably admitted that he was responsible for the haunting of Daxing Palace eight years ago.

"After pretending to be an evil ghost to disturb the Forbidden Palace, intending to delay the Great Sui to raise troops south to destroy Nan Chen, you fled south to Jiangling, and single-handedly planned the incident of the 100,000 clans of the Later Liang Dynasty, and during this period, you once missed and was captured by Liang Mo, but you were lucky enough to be rescued by your mentor Dujing Toutuo again, right?"

"Yes, what else does the prince want to know, Xiao should tell me truthfully." Xiao Rushui replied calmly.

Yang Guang didn't expect Xiao Rushui to speak without speaking, once he opened his mouth to confess, he was so cooperative, without any previous passive resistance, turned around and saw that his father and queen mother were all listening attentively to their interrogation of Xiao Rushui, so he continued to ask: "What this king still puzzles about is that at the critical juncture when Nanchen was destroyed by my Great Sui, your Shangfeng Guan Zizi, that is, Gao Qinglian, who pretended to be Gao Liansheng, the uncle of the king of Goguryeo, traveled thousands of miles from Goguryeo to the south, intending to turn the tide and support Chen Junfan to divide the party. And why did you do nothing during that time? ”

"If it weren't for the rebellion of that sister-in-law, who had been painstakingly operating for many years, the Jiangbei latent army that the Great Bodhisattva had worked hard to manage for many years would be wiped out overnight, how could Xiao sit back and watch my Chen Dynasty destroy the country?" Xiao Rushui replied hatefully.

"Oh?" Yang Guang's heart flashed, and he asked with a smile, "In this way, Xiao Da Protector is completely unaware of the false defection of the Mind Master?" In this case, how do you explain that you secretly manipulated Gao Qinglian's designated heir, Gu Zi'er, in a vain attempt to rob a huge ransom and continue to make waves in Jiangnan in an attempt to restore? ”

"According to the rules set by the first emperor for the 'Wild Goose's Nest', when the Great Bodhisattva returns to heaven, the Great Protector should temporarily take his place, although Gu Zier was designated as the successor by the Great Bodhisattva, but before the official canonization of the emperor, he should be in charge of the 'Wild Goose's Nest' on his behalf, this is the internal affairs of my 'Wild Goose's Nest', and it doesn't hurt to tell the prince."

"In other words, you don't want to admit that Gu Pan'er, who pretended to surrender to the imperial court, is the successor Guan Zizai, nor do you want to obey Gao Qinglian's designated heir, Gu Zi'er, before her death, but you want to be unique and continue to contribute to the restoration of Nan Chen?" Yang Guang stared at Xiao Rushui and asked, "In that case, why do you want to use Gu Pan'er and Gu Zi'er's sibling Gu Sheng to plot rebellion and cause chaos, this seems a little puzzling." ”

"Gu Sheng is Gu Sheng, he is different from the vicious Gu Pan'er, and he is also different from the ambitious Gu Zi'er, I can trust him." Xiao Rushui replied proudly.

"Mei Er has been under close surveillance for eight years, and he has never leaked any secrets of the 'Goose's Nest', according to you, he should also be someone you can trust, but why did you coerce Qin Ji to kill him?" Yang Guang sharply changed his words and asked with a sinking face.

"Mei Er knows that his identity has long been exposed, but he has always refused to cut his allegiance to the imperial court, and the 'Wild Goose' will never tolerate such a greedy person who is afraid of death!" Xiao Rushui gritted his teeth and said.

"Hehe, compared with Mei Er, Mr. Mei is not afraid of death." Yang Guang blurted out the fake identity that Xiao Rushui had used, and coldly asked him one last question, "But I don't know what the real purpose of Mr. Mei Da's trick of throwing himself into the net this time is?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present, including Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo, was taken aback and changed color in shock.

Almost at the same time, he saw that Xiao Rushui had enough strength, suddenly broke free from the shackles on his body, and rushed straight towards Yang Jian.

Li Jing and Guo Yan, who were standing behind Xiao Rushui and were strictly guarding against him, suddenly saw that Xiao Rushui was about to assassinate the emperor, and without waiting for Yang Guang's order, they immediately drew their swords and chased after him.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, who was accompanying Empress Dugu Jialuo, also stepped forward to protect Yang Jian, drew the sword at his waist, and stabbed Xiao Rushui in the heart.

Xiao Rushui turned sideways and let Li Yuan stab a sword, and snatched Li Yuan's sword with his hand, but he didn't guard against Li Jing chasing after him, seeing that he had taken Li Yuan's sword, he was afraid that the emperor and queen would be in danger, so he swung a sword and cut Xiao Rushui to the ground, and then made a backhand sword and cut off his head.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, from Xiao Rushui breaking free from the shackles and stabbing Yang Jian, until Li Jing cut off his head, it was only a blink of an eye, and by the time Yang Guang shouted at Li Jing, "Stay alive, don't kill him", Xiao Rushui had already fallen to the ground.

"Ah Zong, how did you find out that Xiao Rushui was going to stab and bow?" In front of everyone present, Yang Jian forced himself to hold back his frightened mood and asked Yang Guangdao.

"Father, queen mother, and queen mother are frightened." Yang Guang ordered someone to carry Xiao Rushui's body down, strode forward, and replied with a fist, "Erchen just saw that Xiao Rushui's behavior today was very different, and he deliberately deceived him, but who knew that he actually said what he was thinking......

"Alas, thinking that this Xiao Rushui is so willing to sacrifice his life and forget his death in order to plot the restoration of Nan Chen, for Nan Chen, he is also a loyal and good general!" Yang Jian sighed with emotion.

At this moment, Yuan Gao, the general of the left guard who was ordered to go to the East Palace to arrest Ji Wei, an important suspect in the cat ghost case, brought people back to the prison and reported to Yang Jianjuan: "Your Majesty, the suspect Ji Wei refused to surrender to the law, and was killed on the spot by Xiahou Fu, the guard in the imperial palace. ”

When Yang Jian heard the report, he exchanged glances with Queen Dugu Jialuo, and said lightly: "Since Ji Wei has been afraid of the crime, the truth of the cat ghost case has been revealed to the world. Detain Dugutuo in the heavenly prison for the time being, and wait for my will to be released. Eight years later, Daxing Palace was haunted twice, and it was a miracle that the culprits of the two cases would confess their guilt on the same day. ”

Yang Guang was still thinking about Xiao Rushui's series of actions today that were very different from the previous ones, and when he saw Yang Jian standing up as he spoke, he was about to drive back to the palace with his mother, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Erchen thinks about it, Xiao Rushui made Gu Sheng rebel, and until today, he assassinated his father, there seems to be another hidden secret, please ask my father to allow his son to continue to investigate this case." ”

Yang Jian waved his hand at Yang Guang and said: "The culprit of the first evil has been subdued, Ah Zong, I will soon be ordered to raise an army to crusade against Goguryeo, you better return to Jiangnan as soon as possible to protect Jiangnan for me." ”

Yang Guang was still unwilling, and he had to fight again, but he listened to his mother Dugu Jialuo also persuaded him: "Ah Zong, and listen to your father's persuasion, take Er'er back to Jiangnan as soon as possible, one day today's matter, your father and mother will give you a satisfactory explanation." ”

Yang Guang was confused when he heard this, and it was inconvenient to insist on fighting again, so he had to flash aside and watch his father and queen mother drive back to the palace.
