Zhengyang Palace is the palace where Yang Jian and Empress Dugu Jialuo live every day, generally speaking, unless it is a particularly close minister, Yang resolutely will not receive him in Zhengyang Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Liu Yi received Yang Jian's order to go to Zhengyang Palace to meet the driver, and felt a little comforted: it seems that he is still a close subordinate in Yang Jian's mind.

Because of the family banquet on the rooftop last night, and Yang Lihua's entry into the palace and the banquet, Yang Jian sent a clear signal to Yang Jian to release his previous suspicions with his parents, Yang Jian was happy, and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses of wine.

When Yang Jian heard the news, he wondered in his heart: since the former lieutenant Chi Yu rebelled more than a year ago, Liu Yi was unwilling to accept the order and rushed to the former enemy's prison army, and was deliberately snubbed by himself, in his impression, he had never entered the palace so early to ask to see him.

Because a few days ago, he instructed Su Wei to seize the "Jiangnan Bank" restaurant opened by Liu Yi under the pretext of violating the imperial court's prohibition of alcohol, in order to apologize to Liu Yi slightly, and also to show that he still misses Liu Yi, Yang Jian specially ordered someone to summon Liu Yi to Zhengyang Palace to see the driver.

Since Liu Yi came to ask for sin, he naturally had to do enough to enter the main hall of Zhengyang Palace, so he didn't wait for Yang Jian to speak, rushed forward, fell at Yang Jian's feet, and hissed: "The criminal minister Liu Yi has come to ask Your Majesty for his guilt today, and begged Your Majesty to punish the crimes of the ministers." ”

Yang Jian didn't expect that as soon as Liu Yi met, he made such a fuss, and hurriedly ordered the palace people who accompanied him to help Liu Yi up, give him a seat, and asked him, "Shujie, what is this for?" ”

Liu Yi was about to get up and reply again, but was stopped by Yang Jian waving his hand, and then reluctantly sat down and replied: "The criminal violated the ban of the imperial court, set up a private restaurant, and sold wine on the street, which is really an unforgivable crime." ”

After hearing this, Yang Jian frowned slightly, and said in his heart: It turns out that you entered the palace early today to ask for a meeting, and asked me for an explanation for the seizure of the "Jiangnan Bank".

"Uncle, if there is a shortage of anything in your house, you can open your mouth to me, and I will reward you one by one, so you don't have to open a restaurant as a national prince to make a little profit." Yang Jian replied disappreciatively.

"Just setting up a private restaurant is just a ban on selling alcohol." Liu Yi said, and couldn't help but say, knelt down, and put his head on the ground, "Yesterday, the minister unexpectedly discovered that Zhang Zhongjian, the son of Zhang Jiling, a wealthy merchant in Guangling who had previously partnered with the minister to open the 'Jiangnan Bank' restaurant, was very likely to be a spy sent by Nanchen to Chang'an. The guilty minister is suspected of accommodating the enemy country's spies, and he does not dare to sit in front of His Majesty, and asks His Majesty to deal with the sins of the ministers as soon as possible, so that the guilty ministers can feel at ease. ”

"You calm down, talk slowly and listen to me, how did you find out that this Zhang Zhongjian is a spy sent by Nan Chen?" Yang Jian was shocked, but asked Liu Yi quietly.

"Last night, because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the criminal and his family enjoyed the moon together, drank a few more glasses of wine, and went back to the bedroom to rest a little late. At that time, it was the third watch, and the criminal was curious for a while, so he stopped and listened to a few words by the way, not wanting to listen to it, but the criminal was frightened. It turned out that this Zhang Zhongjian was complaining to an unknown accomplice that no one was cooperating with him around the Jin Palace, so that when he sneaked into the Jin Palace, he was discovered, and in a hurry, he injured one person, and fled back in a hurry...... "Liu Yi told Yang Jian with tears in his eyes the horrific scene in his mansion last night according to the manuscript that had been typed before, "Your Majesty has always known that the criminal minister is timid and afraid, and when he heard these words that are regarded as complicity, the criminal minister was so frightened that he did not dare to stay longer, Hurriedly returned to his bedroom and thought hard about what to do. ”

"Hmm, what are you going to do?" Yang Jian's eyes suddenly shot out a fine light, stared directly at Liu Yi's face, and asked in a deep voice.

"The criminal originally planned to call the servants and take Zhang Zhongjian and his accomplices down and hand them over to His Majesty for questioning, but the criminal ministers knew that this Zhang Zhongjian was armed with super martial arts, and there were only seven or eight young and strong servants in the criminal minister's family, so he did not dare to act rashly for fear that he would not be able to catch him, but he would hurt the family of the criminal minister, so he did not dare to act rashly. After waiting until dawn, the guilty minister hurriedly entered the palace and asked to see His Majesty, asking His Majesty to send a forbidden army to the criminal minister's mansion to arrest the rebels. Liu Yi avoided Yang Jian's gaze and replied pretending to be ashamed.

"Where's the stomach?" Yang Jian immediately asked.

"The end will be." The right guard general Yuan stomach entered in response.

"I order you to personally lead a hundred thousand Niu sergeants to rush to the mansion of Shu Guogong as soon as possible, and arrest Zhang Zhongjian, a spy of Nan Chen, and bring to justice, there must be no mistake." Yang Jian gave instructions to Yuan Yu succinctly and clearly.

Yuan stomach clenched his fists in agreement, and went like a gust of wind.

"Shujie, you say, can Zhang Zhongjian be arrested and brought to justice on this trip?" Yang Jian looked at the back of Yuan Stomach leaving, and asked Liu Yi coldly.

Liu Yi was prostrate on the ground, trembling up and down, and only after the time did he reply in a hoarse voice: "If Zhang Zhongjian can't be caught, the criminal is willing to die to forgive his sins." ”

If Liu Yi hadn't hesitated again and again before saying that he was willing to die to atone for the sins he had committed, Yang Jian might have believed at most three points in what he said, but with Yang Jian's many years of understanding of Liu Yi and his person, the frightened and greedy Liu Yi in front of him reacted from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, Shujie, since you inadvertently found out that Zhang Zhongjian entered the Jin Palace's mansion at night to steal and took him in to live in the mansion, it is not a crime, let alone a death forgiveness. Sit down and talk. A smile appeared on Yang Jian's face, and he comforted Liu Yi gently.

"It is a sin that a criminal is so greedy for small profits that he almost falls into the trap of a traitor. But I don't know who was injured by Zhang Zhongjian in the Jin King's Mansion last night, if it is His Royal Highness the King of Jin, then the crime of the minister will be great. Liu Yi still refused to get up and take a seat, and asked Yang Jian with two lines of tears on his face.

"Don't worry, Ah Zong is fine." Yang Jian had to soothe him patiently and said, "I don't understand, how could you think of partnering with Zhang Jiling, a wealthy merchant in Guangling, who is in an enemy country?" ”

Yang Jian's question sounded gentle, as casual as the gossip of two old friends, but in the ears of Liu Yi, who had a ghost in his heart, it implied murderous intentions and was extremely dangerous. He didn't dare to be careless at all, and replied truthfully: "The criminal minister and Zhang Jiling got acquainted, originally in the Lu Ben mansion of the current prince's left concubine, I remember that the criminal minister was at home at that time, and was thinking about finding a way to make money to subsidize the family, Lu Ben introduced Zhang Jiling to the criminal minister, according to him, Zhang Jiling has a lot of silk business to do, and he needs to travel back and forth to Guanzhong and Jiangzuo every year no less than a dozen times, and he is looking for a place in Chang'an City that can be profitable and can settle down to stop by Xiema. And he was very bold, and when he coveted his goods, he offered to partner with him to open a restaurant and make a profit. Zhang Jiling learned the identity and status of the criminal minister from Lu Ben's mouth, and also wanted to use the criminal minister's thin hope in the court to provide more convenience for him to operate in Chang'an in the future. Less than a month after the restaurant opened, Zhang Jiling sent his son Zhang Zhongjian to Chang'an, under the pretext that Zhang Zhongjian was often ostracized by his wife in his home, so he sent him to leave home and stay in the restaurant in Chang'an, so as to find a proper place to settle him. The criminal only said that Zhang Jiling sent his son to take care of the business, and he didn't think much about it, but he didn't admit that he was Nan Chen's spy. ”
