"Father-in-law Chen, Shen Duan deserves to die, but I heard that he was filial piety at the beginning, treated his father-in-law in every way, took care of him in every way, was very considerate, and the father-son relationship was deep, which was unusual!"

Chen Lin's eyes moved, and he sighed in his heart, how can he show his feet when he is old?

He smiled, "Duke Zhou is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the time." The old slave ignores the wisdom of people, and deserves to die, no matter how the saint punishes the crime, he is to blame. It's just that the old slave has a few words and wants to say it to Wang Xianggong. ”

"Please."

Chen Lin smiled faintly, "Wang Xianggong, our number one, entered the palace, and after being stabbed, even the ancestors don't want it, and after death, they can only become lonely ghosts, what godsons, godfathers, it's just self-deception!" How many feelings are deceiving, we people, first of all, must be loyal to the saints, and secondly, we just survive. Shen Duan is used to acting, and he blinded the old slave! ”

Wang Ning'an bowed, "Old man Chen, when everyone has an eye, you don't have to blame yourself, I'll send you back to the palace." Wang Ning'an got up, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly said casually: "Gonggong Chen, since you didn't see Shen Duan clearly, why did you recommend him to Your Majesty?" The saint set up the secret spy department at the beginning, but it took a lot of thought, but it turned out to be a disloyal slave and maid, which is really a pity! ”

Chen Lin could hear that Wang Ning'an had something to say, he trembled again, and cried: "The old slave is blind, he sees the wrong person, he delays the major affairs of the official family, and he makes a big mistake, the northwest has lost 100,000 yuan, and the old slave is also a sinner!" ”

As she spoke, Chen Lin wiped her tears.

"Wang Xianggong, the old slave will go to ask for sin, if the saint is to punish the crime, no matter what, the old slave will bear it, if the saint is magnanimous, let the old slave go to Kaifeng, guard the tomb for the previous emperors, and live a lifetime, and no longer ask about the world. Wang Xianggong - What do you think? ”

Wang Ningan tasted the product carefully and smiled slightly.

"Old man Chen has passed...... You have served Your Majesty for so many years, without merit, and with hard work. Your Majesty will not forget, and neither will we. Although Shen Duan's sins are heinous, being an old husband is only a negligence, and I believe that His Majesty will deal with it properly. ”

Wang Ningan glanced at both sides.

"You send Old Man Chen back to the palace quickly, remember, take good care of his old man, don't be lazy! Don't even treat him like a sinner! Otherwise, even if I can't control it, Your Majesty won't let you go! ”

"Yes!"

His subordinates protected Chen Lin and hurried down.

At this time, Wang Ningan showed an unfathomable smile.

If you suspect Chen Lin for one point before, at least five points at this moment!

Lao Chen Lin's performance before and after is too doubtful.

It stands to reason that Shen Duan is his most trusted godson, no matter how big a mistake he makes, how can he not see his relationship for many years?

Even if you hit him twice and scold him twice after meeting, it should be!

What's more, Shen Duan is crazy, Chen Lin doesn't want to see what he looks like now?

From the words of old Chen Lin, Wang Ningan didn't hear the feelings, but heard the fear, Chen Lin didn't seem to dare to face Shen Duan!

What guilt could he have?

Could it be that Shen Duan was trying to protect him, so he pretended to be crazy...... Or, simply being driven crazy by Chen Lin! So the old eunuch didn't dare to face Shen Duan?

As for the latter words, it is even more hypocritical!

Chen Lin first said that these people had no feelings, and then said that they were just loyal to His Majesty...... Isn't that inconsistent? Wang Ningan doesn't have so much prejudice against eunuchs, and they are not like in some film and television works, as soon as they come out, they are hideous and bad.

It is true that eunuchs have physical defects and are different from normal people, but eunuchs are also human beings, and they also have emotions.

A person doesn't think about the love of father and son, doesn't think about the friendship of friends, and is loyal to the emperor in his heart?

What are you kidding, when did Uncle Zhao have such a big charm?

If this is the case, everyone thinks about the emperor, inside and outside the palace, there will not be so many things.

Chen Lin's preface did not match the afterword, the logic was confused, and he lost his demeanor. It is by no means the ancestor who is not leaky and wise as a demon!

What made Chen Lin make such an obvious mistake?

Maybe he just said the opposite, there is love between him and Shen Duan, it is not an ordinary love, Shen Duan chose to go crazy in order to protect Chen Lin!

Only in this way can the old eunuch's gaffe be explained!

Wang Ning'an's mind turned, and he became more and more sure of his judgment.

In fact, Shen Duan is just a eunuch, and he has no wife and children, so why should he practice himself like this? What about choosing to go crazy in humiliation? He's going to protect his godfather!

"Go and bring Tan Xian over."

A soldier escorted Tan Xian over from the room on the side, and Zhao Shu also followed behind.

They all heard the conversation between Wang Ningan and Chen Lin just now.

Zhao Shu is not as shrewd as his master, and he hasn't figured out the problem yet, but Tan Xian is sweating on his temples at this time, trembling all over, and he looks very embarrassed.

Wang Ningan looked down at Tan Xian.

"You can hear what your ancestor said just now."

"Listen...... Heard clearly. Tan Xian's voice was low and trembling.

Wang Ningan asked again, "What do you think?" ”

"I, I don't know!" Tan Xian's voice was panicked, and he became more and more flustered.

"Alas...... Tan Xian, if you don't want to say it, then I'll say it! Wang Ningan held his hands and said in a deep voice: "People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless!" You people have entered the palace since childhood, and when you go to a strange environment, you are surrounded by murderous machines, how many hardships you have suffered, how many sins you have suffered, you don't say anything about it, you know it in your heart! In life, the more you lack something, the more you envy something! I have already asked, Shen Duan is a very filial person, he originally brushed the toilet in the palace, and later Chen Lin recognized his godson. For so many years, Shen Duan has had the opportunity to climb up, but he has resigned, just concentrating on serving Chen Lin and doing his duty, which is better than a real son! ”

Wang Ningan sneered and said: "Your Majesty moved the capital, and the people in the palace have all changed, but if that's the case, I think I don't know what happened before, then it's a big mistake." It is precisely because Shen Duan is wholeheartedly devoted to his godfather that when His Majesty wanted to establish a secret spy department, Chen Lin recommended Shen Duan, am I right? ”

Tan Xian's sideburns were sweating more and more, and he nodded.

"Tan Xian, I asked people to check again, when you were a local supervisor army, there was a shortfall, and you were short of 50,000 stone of military rations, but the Audit Department has already found your head, and then you were safe and sound, and you were transferred back to the capital...... It's Shen Duanbao's you, right? ”

"Yes, it's Gonggong Shen." Tan Xian's voice trembled: "Gonggong Shen treats me with great kindness, even if I am broken, I can't repay it." He asked me to send troops, and I had to send troops! Wang Xianggong, don't ask! ”

Tan Xian held up the ground, trembling even more violently.

He was very sad, not for himself, but for Shen Duan!

Give up all your dignity, and don't hesitate to practice yourself to protect a godfather who treats him with no feelings at all.

It's boring, it's boring!

Tan Xian suddenly felt that a lot of insistence had become useless, what loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, what kind of favor between father and son, it was all nonsense and deception......

"Tan Xian, so far, I won't tell you that it's useless, you must die, but there are many ways to die...... Tell me everything you know, Your Highness is also here, I can give you a good time, and it's really unnecessary to hold on to it. ”

Zhao Shu hurriedly said: "What Wang Xianggong said is extremely true, Tan Xian, as long as you confess, you can avoid the suffering of Ling Chi!" ”

Tan Xian hesitated for a while, sighed heavily, and was quite helpless.

"That's it...... It's not that I'm ruthless, it's really indifferent, the world is hot and cold, anyway, Gonggong Shen is crazy, so I don't have to hide it for him! ”

Tan Xian immediately told everything he knew...... The secret spy department had long known the news that Yuzang Huama was going to surrender, and Shen Duan didn't understand military affairs, so he found Tan Xian.

After Tan Xian's analysis, he thought that it might not be credible, and Shen Duan listened to his opinion.

It's just that another day passed, and Shen Duan suddenly found him again.

This time Shen Duan changed his tone, he insisted on grabbing the merit, hiding from the emperor that he would not play, and also told Tan Xian that the imperial court would send Qin Cha to the northwest in the near future, and he was one of them.

"How did Shen Duan know that the imperial court was going to send a messenger? And how can you be sure that you are one of them? Wang Ning'an asked sharply.

Tan Xian said: "I guess it should be Chen Lin's instructions, after all, Gonggong Shen doesn't have that much ability to influence His Majesty's thoughts." ”

At this time, Zhao Shu said again: "No, I remember that it was the idea of the political hall to recommend the Qin Cha at that time, it should be the suggestion of the Emperor by Xianggong Wen, could it be that Xianggong Wen should also be at the mercy of Chen Lin?" ”

Tan Xian shook his head, "This slave and maid don't know, but the slave and maid know that Gonggong Chen and the political hall do collude, whether it is Xianggong Wen or not, it's hard to say." ”

Zhao Shu's little face turned pale with anger, and he said angrily: "What a Chen Lin, sir, what are you waiting for, immediately arrest him and torture him!" ”

Wang Ningan smiled, "Your Highness, don't be impatient, Shen Duan can go crazy, with Chen Lin's skills, I'm afraid that I won't be able to ask anything from his mouth." Let's go and see Xianggong Wen immediately, I want to hear what he has to say, why he sent three messengers, and who gave him advice! ”

Wang Ningan was about to leave, when suddenly Tan Xian knelt down and climbed half a step, and hesitated: "Wang Xianggong, the slave has something here!" ”

"Oh? What is it? ”

Tan Xian waved his hand and asked someone to bring over a tray, he opened his mouth and pointed to the teeth above.

Someone immediately looked closely, and it turned out that at the root of a tooth, an almost transparent rope was attached. The soldier carefully hooked the hook and pulled it out little by little.

Tan Xian also punched a few times in the stomach, opened his mouth and vomited, and tossed for a quarter of an hour, and in a puddle of bile, a wax pill appeared.

Someone hurriedly cleaned it up, then opened it and took out a handwritten letter from it.

Wang Ningan didn't care about the disgusting, took it in his hand, and watched it from beginning to end.

"This, this is Liu Xin's handwriting?"

"Wang Xianggong has good eyesight." Tan Xian said with difficulty: "The slave maid and Gao Zunyu led the troops together, in order to hold each other hostage and avoid chaos, we made our own decisions and handed over each other's handles to each other." I was appointed by Shen Gonggong, so I gave him Shen Gonggong's secret letter. And Gao Zunyu was ordered by Liu Xin, and it was funny to say that he died in the hands of the Western Xia people, and no one thought that he was gone...... But I didn't expect that it was here in the slave! ”
