Chapter VIII Turnaround

Hanfu.

A hurried person ran into the house with an umbrella quickly, and several sharp-eyed subordinates saw it and greeted one after another: "Hello Steward Feng." ”

Steward Feng nodded at them, didn't speak, threw the umbrella to the side, and walked towards the big house without stopping. If you look closely, you can see that his body was wet from the rain in many places, but he didn't have time to wipe it.

When the other people saw Steward Feng's situation, they didn't know that Steward Feng would be in a hurry, so they continued to bury their heads in their own things and didn't bother Steward Feng.

Soon, Steward Feng came to the front of the big house.

Hearing the familiar footsteps outside the house, Han Guangyi quickly stood up, greeted Steward Feng, who walked in quickly, and asked anxiously, "How is it, Old Feng?"

Steward Feng took a big breath, shook his head and said: "Master, there is still no news, the people who inquired about the news have all returned, none of the officials of the previous dynasty have come back today, all the people in Situ Mansion have been taken away, there are Imperial Forest Army escorts along the way, and no one knows what happened." ”

Han Guangyi sighed, looked out the window uneasily, and muttered, "Brother Situ, what happened to you?"

Outside the window, lightning and thunder roared, and it seemed that a bigger storm was still brewing.

......

Department of Military Intelligence.

"Name, age. ”

"What is your position in Situ Mansion and what is your main responsibility?"

"Do you know that person named Ah Fu?"

"Have you seen any unusual people or strange things in the house?"

"How does Lord Situ usually move around in the mansion?"

Every person in Situ Mansion was arranged to be questioned, and someone was responsible for recording the questioning, and all the information would be compiled and analyzed.

This series of seemingly complicated things, under the efficient work system of the Military Intelligence Department, is carried out in an orderly manner, and it seems that the results will soon appear.

......

The Great Hall of Parliament.

Seeing Lin Xiao followed by two people he had never seen before, Emperor Shang Wu frowned and said vigilantly, "Lin Xiao, who are these two?"

Lin Xiao was about to reply, but Situ Ming saw the person who came clearly, and said in amazement, "Xiao Yu, why are you here?"

Lin Xiao saw that Emperor Shangwu's brows were furrowed even more, and he hurriedly introduced: "Back to Your Majesty, this is Lord Situ's son, named Situ Yu, and this is Teacher Nie Yuanhua of the Alliance Academy. ”

Emperor Shang Wu frowned: "Teacher of the Alliance Academy?"

Even if it's a teacher from the Alliance Academy, you don't need to bring it to the Great Hall, right?

Nie Yuanhua smiled slightly, took a step forward and said, "Maybe my Majesty will know another name." Before joining the Alliance Academy, they all called me the Earth Sage. ”

"Earth Sage!?" Hearing this title, Emperor Shangwu's face was a little solemn.

The powerhouses who can get the title of Sage are all existences with ninth-level peak cultivation, and they will be absolutely valued no matter where they are, even in the Alliance Academy, where the powerhouses are like clouds.

Emperor Shangwu frowned and asked, "Why did the Sage come to the Shangwu Palace?"

He will always be more wary of the people in the Alliance Academy, especially someone like Nie Yuanhua, who is powerful and has a background that may affect the politics of a country, and he will not like it from the bottom of his heart.

"I'm here for my students. ”

Nie Yuanhua said loudly: "Master Situ Ming is the father of my student, and he is now suspected of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, so I came here to find out the specific situation. ”

Emperor Shangwu glanced at Lin Xiao, and Lin Xiao hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the Military Intelligence Department is already stepping up interrogation, and I believe that there will be results soon." ”

Emperor Shangwu nodded.

It didn't take long for a Royal Forest Army to walk in with a document and hand it to Lin Xiao. After Lin Xiao took the paperwork and checked it, he reported to Emperor Shangwu: "Your Majesty, the results of the investigation of the Military Intelligence Department have come out. ”

"Present it. ”

Emperor Shang Wu waved at Lin Xiao as he spoke.

Lin Xiao stepped forward quickly, bowed his head respectfully, and handed the document to Emperor Shangwu with both hands.

Emperor Shang Wu immediately flipped through it, and then there was anger on his face, and after gritting his teeth and reading it, he threw the document in front of Situ Ming, and shouted loudly: "Bold Situ Ming, what else do you have to explain!?"

Situ Ming was startled, and immediately knelt down towards Emperor Shangwu, shouting loudly: "Wronged, Your Majesty! I really didn't collaborate with the enemy and commit treason!"

Emperor Shang Wu said angrily: "See for yourself! The Ministry of Military Intelligence has deciphered the letters found in your study, on the surface it looks like just ordinary letters, but with the method of deciphering Wei Kuo's letters, they are all the contents of your correspondence with Caesar, is this still wrong to you?"

Situ Ming climbed to the ground and picked up the documents on the ground, and after taking a closer look, he was shocked, threw the documents and hurriedly kowtowed to Emperor Shangwu and said: "Your Majesty! Weichen is wronged! The letters mentioned above, Weichen doesn't know about them!"

"You don't know it? It was Ah Fu, the subordinate in your house, who confessed everything, and it was you who asked him to help him burn those letters when something unexpected happened, and gave him ten silver coins. How dare you say you don't know anything?"

Situ Ming cried and shouted. "Your Majesty, there really is no such thing, I was wronged!"

Nie Yuanhua frowned, then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, since this is the case, why don't you call that subordinate named Ah Fu over and let him confront Lord Situ face to face." ”

As if grasping a life-saving straw, Situ Ming hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Call Ah Fu up, I can confront him." ”

Emperor Shangwu frowned, Situ Ming echoed Nie Yuanhua and made him feel very unhappy, but it was not good to attack in front of Nie Yuanhua, so he could only endure his unhappiness and instructed Lin Xiao: "Since the Sage has made a suggestion, Lin Xiao, you go and bring that Ah Fu up." ”

"Yes!"

Lin Xiao then took the order to leave.

Situ Yu went over to help Situ Ming, who was weak in his feet, and then looked at Teacher Nie gratefully.

Teacher Nie smiled and made a reassuring gesture to Situ Yu.

And Hai Shou on the side looked at them quietly, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

After a while, Lin Xiao hurriedly walked in and bowed his hand to Emperor Shangwu: "Tell Your Majesty that Ah Fu died mysteriously and violently in the prison of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, and he can't testify." ”

"Bizarre and violent death, good, there is no proof of death in a good move, Situ Ming, I have seen you less. ”

Emperor Shangwu laughed angrily: "However, do you think that I can't do anything about you? Based on the results of the investigation of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, I can punish you for your crimes!"

"Slow!"

Teacher Nie stood up and said, "Your Majesty, with just a few letters, are you going to cure Lord Situ's sin?

Emperor Shang Wu squinted his eyes at Nie Yuanhua and said, "Sage, now that there is no proof of death, there is no way to check, can I still let him go like this, don't you think that is more child's play?"

As if sensing the spark between the two, the old man who had been standing beside Emperor Shang Wu opened his eyes, and an invisible momentum spread out, and the officials in the hall unconsciously trembled, and they all looked at the old man behind Emperor Shang Wu in surprise.

Nie was blind, but he didn't expect that this father-in-law was also a master. ”

Nie Yuanhua said with a smile, his light and breezy appearance did not seem to be affected by his husband's explosive momentum at all.

The old man frowned, realizing that he had lost in the momentum competition, and immediately reined in his momentum.

Nie Yuanhua didn't care about it, looked at Emperor Shang Wu and said, "Your Majesty, since there is no proof of death now, Nie has a good way to help investigate." ”

"Oh, what a good way the Sage can do, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

When Emperor Shang Wu saw that his husband had lost, his attitude was a little more restrained, and he no longer confronted Nie Yuanhua.

"There is a teacher in our alliance academy who is good at telepathic hypnosis, and the goal of her hypnotism will be unreservedly able to say what is in her heart. ”

"In our academy, every teacher and student will undergo her hypnosis test before joining, and only those who pass can join, and because of this, our academy has never worried about someone lurking in. ”

"If Your Majesty is willing, I can invite this teacher over and perform a hypnotic spell on Lord Situ Ming. When the time comes, it will naturally be known whether Lord Situ has committed treason. ”

Emperor Shang Wu said with a wary face: "Hypnosis?"

It was the first time he had heard that there was such a terrible spell in the world, which would make everything in the heart of a person be hidden, and he felt deeply uneasy as an emperor.

"Since there is such a good way, let's follow what the Sage said. ”

Emperor Shangwu also knew that after Nie Yuanhua proposed this method, if he still insisted on killing Situ Ming, it was morally unjustifiable, so he could only find another way.

Thinking of this, Emperor Shangwu looked at Situ Ming's eyes full of murderous intent.

"Come on, take all the Situ Mansion into prison and wait for the retrial. ”

Nie Yuanhua arched his hand towards Emperor Shangwu and said: "Your Majesty, Situ Yu is my student, he has been studying in the Alliance Academy for the past two years, and he is not suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Nie begged His Majesty to be accommodating and let Situ Yu not have to be detained. ”

Although Emperor Shang Wu was very upset, Nie Yuanhua always interrupted him to give orders, but he still endured his unhappiness and said: "This is naturally okay, come and press Situ Ming down." ”

Situ Yu cried and said to Situ Ming: "Dad, take care, Teacher Nie will be able to save you soon." ”

Situ Ming nodded and said to Nie Yuanhua, "Thank you, Teacher Nie." ”

Teacher Nie smiled and said, "It's okay, wait for my good news." ”

Then Situ Ming was escorted down.

Emperor Shangwu smiled at Nie Yuanhua and said, "Sage, I'm a little sick, I won't keep you, and I will invite you again next time I have the opportunity." ”

Nie Yuanhua nodded and said, "It's okay, Your Majesty has a good rest, then we will also leave first." ”

Emperor Shangwu immediately turned to leave, and the moment he turned around, his face immediately became gloomy.

The civil and military officials looked at each other and watched Emperor Shang Wu and Nie Yuanhua leave one after another, one by one they didn't know what to do, until the old man shouted "retreat from the dynasty", and then he came to his senses and left one after another.

Hai Shou, on the other hand, frowned and looked in the direction Nie Yuanhua left, stood on the empty hall for a while, and finally showed a sneer before leaving.

"Damn!"

As soon as Emperor Shangwu returned to the harem, he smashed something indiscriminately: "This Nie Yuanhua is so rude to me! And that Situ Ming! He actually pleaded not guilty, he really deserves death!"

The little father-in-law who was in charge of serving Emperor Shangwu on the side said in a panic: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, it's important to take care of the dragon body." ”

"How else can I take care of the dragon's body, now there are people who want to rebel against me! I want to murder my country! If I don't kill him, how can I shock those rebellious ministers and thieves, and how can I consolidate my country!?"

After speaking, Emperor Shang Wu angrily kicked down a stool.

The little father-in-law rolled his eyes and said, "If Your Majesty wants to kill that Situ Ming, the slave has a good way." ”

"Oh? ”

Emperor Shangwu raised his eyebrows, and his anger calmed down a little.

The little father-in-law then whispered in the ear of Emperor Shangwu, and Emperor Shangwu laughed when he heard it: "Sure enough, it's a good way!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The little father-in-law thanked him happily, not knowing what the consequences of his words would be.

Or, maybe they know but don't care.

......

Hanfu.

"Sir, there's news!"

Steward Feng shouted as he hurried into the hall.

Han Guangyi hurriedly said, "Say it quickly!"

Hai Yao and Han Yuyi on the side also looked at Steward Feng anxiously, just heard the news that the whole Situ Mansion had been pressed away, and the two of them were also taken aback, Hai Yao immediately thought of his uneasy premonition at that time, and his heart was naturally even more panicked.

Steward Feng gasped and said, "According to the officials who retreated from the dynasty, His Majesty suspected Lord Situ Ming of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, so he arrested the people from Situ Mansion and returned to the palace for review. ”

"Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!? How is it possible!?"

Han Guangyi said in disbelief: "Then what's going on now?"

"It is said that it seems that evidence has been found, and His Majesty is ready to order Lord Situ, but he was stopped by a person called the Earth Walking Sage. ”

Han Guangyi was surprised: "Earth Walking Sage, how could a foreign Sage suddenly appear in the main hall, and what is his name?"

"It seems that the surname is Nie, and the specific name is not clear. ”

Steward Feng said with a frown.

"Surname Nie?"

Hai Yao suddenly said, "Is it Brother Situ's teacher? ”

"The Earth Sage is Xiao Yu's teacher?"

Han Guangyi's eyes widened, and then he suddenly realized: "It's very possible!"

At this time, a servant walked in and said, "Master, Situ Gongzi is here, and he has brought a guest to ask to see the master, the young lady and the sea prince." ”

"Let's go and see. ”

The group quickly walked towards the outhouse.

"Brother Situ!"

Seeing that Situ Yu was safe and sound, Hai Yao put down the big stone in his heart, and then rushed forward and hugged Situ Yu, and then asked, "Are you okay?"

Situ Yu smiled reluctantly: "I'm fine, it's just that my father and mother ...... them."

Hai Yao and Han Yuyi felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Situ Yu's appearance.

Nie Yuanhua comforted loudly: "It's okay, Situ, when I invite the spirit dance teacher over, I can return your father's innocence." ”

Han Guangyi smiled and arched his hand to Nie Yuanhua and said, "You are Teacher Nie, hello." I'm Yui's father. ”

"Hello Boss Han. ”

Nie Yuanhua also arched his hand and said: "Boss Han, because the time is relatively tight, I won't say more." I'm going to rush back to the Alliance Academy now to ask a teacher to come and save Master Situ, Xiao Yu, and he will trouble you to take care of it for a few days. ”

Han Guangyi said solemnly: "Teacher Nie, don't worry, Brother Situ Ming is my best friend, and I will definitely take good care of Situ Xian's nephew." ”

"Then I'm bothering you. ”

Nie Yuanhua looked at Situ Yu after speaking: "Situ, I know you are very nervous about your father, but remember, before I come back, don't act rashly, wait for me!"

Situ Yu barely cheered up and said, "I know, teacher, you should be careful all the way." ”

Nie Yuanhua nodded, and then an earthy yellow light appeared, and the whole person disappeared in an instant.

Han Guangyi exclaimed: "Such a powerful earth escape technique, worthy of being an earth sage." ”

"Teacher, his earth escape technique is indeed unmatched. ”

Situ Yu said with a low expression: "I have studied with him for two years, and I have only learned a little bit of fur. ”

"Situ Xian's nephew, cheer up. ”

Han Guangyi patted Situ Yu on the shoulder and said, "Your teacher is so powerful, he will definitely be able to rescue your father and mother." ”

Situ Yu nodded, then looked up at the sky, the rain had stopped, and there was a vague feeling of clearing.

Perhaps, the rain will soon pass?
