Chapter 7: Shock

The next day, Hai Yao woke up early in the morning, frowning and looking at the pouring rain outside the window. He thought that he would continue to dream of the golden dragon last night and get more clues about the god-level exercises, but he didn't fall asleep after the night, but there was a vague feeling of restlessness, which made him toss and turn and woke up early.

"It should be fine, don't scare yourself. ”

Haiyao muttered to himself, but his face was still a little solemn.

For some reason, ever since he had that dream for the first time when he was six years old, he felt as if he had an amazing ability — he could have a premonition of something that hadn't happened yet. For example, the cup is about to fall to the ground, the person is about to fall, someone is running around the corner and will bump into him, etc.

Whenever something happened, he had a vague sense of unease, like the intuition of a wild beast, and he could premonition danger and run away. But with such a strong sense of uneasiness as today, he only tried three times when he was so old, when his grandfather died, when his grandmother died, and when his mother was forced to leave.

"What the hell is this uneasy feeling!?"

Hai Yao didn't dare to think about which important person would have an accident.

"Haiyao, are you awake?"

Seeing that the door of Hai Yao's room was open, Han Yui walked in directly, and then saw Hai Yao's frowning and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hai Yao shook his head: "It's nothing. ”

Han Yuyi asked: "Is it because of your father's business?" It's okay, my father can promise to let you stay here for a few days, there must be a way to protect you, not to mention that Teacher Nie is also here, and your father will give the Alliance Academy more or less face." When Teacher Nie finishes things, we can go. ”

Hai Yao smiled and said, "I'm fine. ”

Then he said with a strange face: "However, do you really think that Teacher Nie is going to run errands before we wait for three days before leaving?"

Han Yuyi was puzzled: "Hmm, didn't Teacher Nie say that?"

Hai Yao laughed and told Han Yuyi what he asked Situ Yu privately yesterday.

"What!?, he stayed for three days just to eat, drink, and be merry?"

Han Yui's eyes widened.

Hai Yao smiled and nodded: "That's right, Brother Situ said that he, the teacher, is a playful person, not serious." ”

Then Haiyao looked out the window: "But in this weather, it is estimated that Mr. Nie's wishful thinking will not work." ”

......

Situ House.

Nie Yuanhua leaned on the table and shouted, "It's so boring! I really want to go out and play!"

Situ Yu said helplessly on the side: "There is no way to do it in such a heavy rain, those roadside food stalls can't be set up, and you can't play." Looking at this rain, it is estimated that it will rain for a few days?"

"In the next few days!? No, no, I'll suffocate. Why don't you just hurry back to the Alliance Academy? No, no, no, no, that baked cake and carob are only available here in Shangwu City, and I must finish eating them before going back!

Teacher Nie grabbed his hair with a smile.

Situ Yu smiled, and then looked out the window. I don't know if it's the reason for the rain, Situ Yu is also faintly uneasy.

......

Shangwu Palace, the main hall of parliament.

Emperor Shangwu yawned and said, "If you have anything to tell me, please tell me quickly, I feel sick and want to go back to rest early." ”

All the ministers, you look at me, I look at you, but there is no response.

The ministers have long been accustomed to it, every time Emperor Shangwu puts on this pose, it means that he is tired and wants to go back to sleep, except for the general Haishou and the prime minister Situ Ming, who are standing at the front, if others dare to speak, this official will be considered to be the end.

Situ Ming did not speak.

Although he would not do anything to Emperor Shangwu as the prime minister even if he was unhappy, if there was nothing very important, Situ Ming would not choose to hinder Emperor Shangwu from sleeping at this time.

Always, the companion is like a tiger.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do. ”

Situ Ming's eyes widened, and Haishou actually stood up at this time. Could it be that he became a general and felt that he had a status, so he swelled?

Thinking of this, Situ Ming sneered, but his face was impassive.

Although Situ Ming, Haishou and Han Guangyi were friends in the past, they had no choice but to be inseparable from the civil and military forces since ancient times, and there was always something wrong between civilian officials and military generals, so since Haishou joined the army and continued to be promoted, the relationship between everyone gradually became estranged.

In addition, Haishou abandoned Lu Jingxiang and drove her away from Shangwuguo, just to marry the daughter of the former general and take the throne. Situ Ming, who witnessed all this, still saw Haishou's personality clearly, and even more disdainful of associating with him.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone was an official in the same dynasty, it would be difficult to show face to him in front of Emperor Shangwu, and it is estimated that Situ Ming would not even say a word to him.

Therefore, seeing Haishou taking the initiative to touch the mold at this time, Situ Ming was naturally happy to see it, so he was ready to see Haishou's jokes.

Emperor Shangwu said unhappily, "What's the matter with the Great General?"

Seeing Emperor Shangwu's frowning brows, Situ Ming smiled slightly, and said secretly.

Hai Shou was not in a hurry, and said: "Tell the emperor, regarding the previous Winter Battle, the Military Intelligence Department has made a major discovery. ”

Emperor Shangwu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, what did you find, is that general really a spy?"

He was quite impressed by the Battle of Winter, a month ago, Wei Kuo, the general of the Southern Defense Army, led 200,000 troops to conquer the army of Caesar, who was intent on invading Shangwu.

Unexpectedly, less than half a month after the war, because of an order from Wei Kuo, 200,000 troops penetrated deep into the ambush circle of the other party, and the whole army was annihilated.

After this battle, the Shangmu Kingdom fell into an atmosphere like winter, and the twelve border cities fell into the hands of the enemy, and the families of 200,000 soldiers washed their faces with tears every day. Therefore, the MIA named the campaign the Battle of Winter, and mobilized the entire MID to investigate the campaign.

A subtle sneer appeared at the corner of Hai Shou's mouth: "After investigation, a letter was found in Wei Kuo's relics, and after decryption, it was found that someone instructed Wei Kuo to order the army to go deep into the ambush, and this person was still in a high position in the imperial court." ”

"What!?Who is it?Who is Wei Kuo instructed by?"

Emperor Shangwu was furious, and the officials looked at the people around them, you look at me, I look at you.

"This person is exactly!"

Haishou looked at Situ Ming, who was also looking left and right, "Be the prime minister Situ Ming!"

"What!?"

"Impossible!"

The ministers exclaimed.

Situ Ming's eyes widened, and he hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head and said to Emperor Shangwu: "It's not me, it's really not me." ”

After speaking, Situ Ming turned his head angrily and asked Hai Shou: "General Hai, why are you spewing blood!?"

Hai Shou glanced at Situ Ming, sneered, and said to Emperor Shangwu: "Your Majesty, we couldn't believe it when we saw the letter, but after investigation, we found that Wei Kuo was Lord Situ Ming's brother-in-law, and we also investigated the source of the letter, which was sent from Situ Mansion to the front line in the name of Mrs. Situ. ”

Emperor Shang Wu patted the dragon chair and shouted loudly: "Situ Ming, you are so bold!"

"Your Majesty, it really has nothing to do with me, I was wronged, Your Majesty! My Situ family is loyal to Your Majesty and Shangwu Kingdom, and will never do such a rebellious thing!"

Situ Ming knelt down and kept kowtowing as he spoke.

At this time, Haishou suddenly said to Emperor Shangwu, "Your Majesty, in fact, just this does not mean that it is Lord Situ Ming who rebels, so Weichen has the courage to ask the emperor for instructions, and now immediately dispatch the Imperial Forest Army to investigate Situ Mansion." Lord Situ is now in the upper court and can't report to the mansion, I believe that this search will definitely restore Lord Situ's innocence. ”

When Situ Ming heard that the Imperial Forest Army was absolutely loyal to Emperor Shangwu's army, and it was absolutely impossible to be bribed, he immediately opened his mouth and echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, go and search, Weichen is definitely innocent!"

Emperor Shangwu was still angry: "Okay, then let the Imperial Forest Army take a trip to see if you are a wolf with ambition and call Lin Xiao to come up!"

An old man next to Emperor Shangwu immediately shouted: "The emperor has an order, please ask Lin Xiao, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, to meet you." ”

After a while, a tall and mighty guard walked in and saluted Emperor Shangwu: "Weichen Lin Xiao knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Shangwu nodded, and then ordered: "Lin Xiao, I now suspect that Situ Ming is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, you take three teams of the Imperial Forest Army, follow my order, go to check Situ Mansion, and bring back all suspicious people or things." ”

"We're in charge. ”

Lin Xiao turned around and left.

"Humph!"

Emperor Shangwu looked at Situ Ming angrily, Situ Ming was still panting before he had settled down, while Hai Shou showed a strange smile that was not easy to detect, and he looked confident, as if he was sure of how things would develop.

......

Situ House.

Nie Yuanhua's ears suddenly moved, and then he smiled: "It's raining so heavily, and there are still so many people walking around outside." ”

"Huh?"

Situ Yu looked at Nie Yuanhua inexplicably.

Nie Yuanhua's face suddenly changed slightly, and he said solemnly: "I didn't expect it." ”

Situ Yu asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, teacher?"

Nie Yuanhua stood up and said with a smile to Situ Yu, "Let's go, let's go and greet the guests." ”

After saying that, he walked out.

"Guest?"

Situ Yu was confused, but seeing that Nie Yuanhua had already walked out, he hurriedly followed.

......

Outside the Szeto Mansion.

The first and second teams have already surrounded Situ Mansion. ”

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, the three teams will follow me and prepare to enter the mansion." ”

With that, Lin Xiao walked towards the gate.

"Squeak~"

As soon as Lin Xiao walked to the door, he was about to raise his hand and knock on the door, when the door opened from the inside, and then a laugh came from the door: "Look, this is the guest I told you." ”

"Who is it?"

Situ Yu came out and took a look, and was stunned: "Commander Lin?"

Lin Xiao was stunned, carefully identified it, and then suddenly smiled with a smile: "Situ Gongzi." ”

Situ Yu glanced at the Imperial Forest Army behind Lin Xiao and asked, "Is there something wrong with Commander Lin coming?"

Lin Xiao frowned, and said with a serious face: "I came to search Situ Mansion on the orders of His Majesty. ”

Situ Yu was taken aback: "Search Situ Mansion!?

"Your Majesty suspects that someone in Situ Mansion is collaborating with the enemy and treason, so he sent me to investigate. ”

Lin Xiao said solemnly: "Please let Situ Gongzi give me." ”

Situ Yu froze, Nie Yuanhua pulled him aside, and then nodded towards Commander Lin.

Lin Tongtong understood the meaning and shouted to the back: "The three teams will advance quickly and disperse to search for Situ Mansion." ”

A team of Imperial Forest Army from behind quickly walked in and pounced on all parts of Situ's mansion, and then the mansion suddenly became lively.

"Situ Gongzi, don't worry too much. ”

Lin Xiao said kindly: "As long as Lord Situ has not done it, His Majesty will definitely return his innocence." ”

Situ Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and was about to say something when a loud shout suddenly came from the house, "Stop!

Lin Xiao arched his hand towards Situ Yu: "Lose your company." ”

With that, he quickly ran to the place where the cheers came.

Nie Yuanhua glanced at Situ Yu and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”

Situ Yu nodded, and an earthy yellow aura appeared on the two of them, and then the two disappeared in an instant.

In the study of Situ Mansion, Lin Xiao quickly ran in, only to see a Royal Forest Army subduing a servant, and another Royal Forest Army trying to smash out a stack of burning papers.

At this time, Lin Xiao's expression moved, looking at the open space beside him, and in the next second, the earthy yellow spiritual power flashed, and Hai Yao and Nie Yuanhua appeared beside Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao ignored Situ Yu and the two after taking a look, and asked the two subordinates, "What's the situation?"

One of the guards reported solemnly: "My lord, when we first entered the study, we saw this man burning letters in a panic, and then we restrained him. ”

Situ Yu recognized the person who was restrained, and asked in shock, "Ah Fu, why are you burning these letters?"

The man who was called Ah Fu by Situ Yu bowed his head and was silent.

"Ah Fu, you ......"

Situ Yu had a faint bad premonition.

Lin Xiao took the unburned letter and looked through it, but found nothing, and then handed it back to the Royal Forest Army, saying, "Take it, take it back with this person, and hand it over to the Military Intelligence Department for investigation." ”

"Yes!"

The two Royal Foresters then pressed Ah Fu and walked out.

Immediately, Lin Xiao looked at Situ Yu and said, "Situ Gongzi, please go and organize the people in the lower mansion, gather it, and go back with us to cooperate with the investigation later." ”

Situ Yuran nodded indifferently, but his mind was so confused that he didn't know what to do for a while.

Nie Yuanhua saw the confusion in Situ Yu's eyes, and said, "Let's go to your mother first, and then go to organize the people in the mansion." ”

"Yes, go find your mother first. Situ Yu then remembered that his mother was also in the house. Thinking that his mother might be frightened by the sudden intrusion of the Royal Forest Army, Situ Yu became a little anxious, turned around and ran out.

"Hey, hey, it's a little faster. ”

Nie Yuanhua sighed, and then ran out.

As soon as Situ Yu ran out of the house, he immediately saw Mrs. Situ from a distance, so he ran towards Mrs. Situ and shouted, "Mother!"

"Yu'er!"

Madam Situ asked in a panic, "Why are there so many Imperial Forest Soldiers suddenly coming to the mansion?"

Situ Yu held back tears and said: "They said that they suspected Daddy of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and they wanted to search Situ Mansion to find evidence. ”

Mrs. Situ said anxiously: "They are talking nonsense! Your father is so nervous about us, how can he risk the danger of destroying the family and the clan to do such a thing?"

Situ Yu's eyes lit up: "Yes, Daddy, he will definitely not do such a thing!"

When he first heard that his father might collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, Situ Yu was stunned, and it was not until he was reminded by his mother that his heart settled down.

How could a man who refused to stay overnight even when he went out to work, and who had to travel all night to see his wife and children, put his wife and children at risk of treason?

Thinking of this, Situ Yu hurriedly comforted his mother: "Mother, it's okay, Daddy hasn't done it, Your Majesty will definitely return Daddy's innocence." ”

Nie Yuanhua, who came over at this time, said: "Don't worry, with me, as long as your father hasn't done it, I can keep your family safe." ”

Situ Yu looked at Nie Yuanhua and said gratefully, "Thank you, teacher." ”

Teacher Nie grinned: "You're welcome. ”

It didn't take long for Situ Mansion and his entourage, accompanied by three teams of Imperial Forest Army, to march towards the palace.

Walking into the rain, towards a vague, unclear direction.
