Zhenxihou returned.

This news made the real capital rejoice, but as the protagonist of the story, Tang An was not happy at all.

Changing into a purple robe that represented his identity, Tang An was invited into the palace and had a long talk with the emperor all night. And the most common thing I heard Qin Tian say was "I owe you".

Does the emperor really feel that he owes himself? Probably not.

When he saw the six Shangshu interceding for himself together, Tang An was already stunned. It is impossible for several tyons of the current dynasty to work hard for an upstart who does not have much friendship with him, and the reason why he did this must be because of the emperor's instructions.

Thinking of the people's hearts in the capital now that are crumbling because of the wind and rain in the city, it is not difficult to imagine that Qin Tian played a beautiful trick at the bottom of the kettle. took advantage of the gimmick of Tang An's beheading to attract the attention of the whole capital, and then asked several old ministers to make the charges of traveling to the East public under the guise of interceding for Tang An. It not only cleared up the grievances of the six princes and the Lord of the Flying Gate, but also aroused the determination of the people to fight the same enemy.

A person who lured thieves into the house and would rather collude with foreign enemies in order to get the Tang Dynasty, a person who wanted to subvert the imperial court twice in the past thirteen years and didn't care about the lives of the people, who could expect such a person to lead the people to live a good life?

A simple scene has made Dongfang Yuanxing the biggest traitor since the opening of the Tang Dynasty.

And he was invisibly used as a pawn by him. Maybe from the moment he put the Flying Gate Master in the heavenly prison, he was setting up such a game.

He knows Cheng Caixi's character, and he also understands his relationship with the Cheng family. When Cheng Yunhe had an accident, he would never stand idly by, so there was a series of changes later.

Now that he thinks about it, the palace is so close to the Ministry of Punishment, if he wants to intervene, he can arrive early in the morning, why would he delay until he saved someone?

Connecting the pictures of these days, Tang An sighed deeply. He could almost conclude that Qin Tian had been acting for the whole of the capital. Saving the six princes and the master of the door is still secondary, and it is his purpose to let Dongfang Yuanxing lose his reputation and gather people's hearts.

Such an age, such a heart, and such a means are enough to make people feel afraid.

Although he understood Qin Tian's starting point very well, and also understood that a teenager who grew up under the "care" of the biggest enemy would never be too simple, he would still feel disappointed until he discovered that the relationship between people was not maintained through feelings, but mixed with these interests and gains and losses.

He likes freedom, he doesn't like bondage, and he doesn't like the feeling that life and death are tied to the thoughts of others. He now has a lot of concerns: Lan Haitang, Liu Tingge, Su Meier, Eldest Lady, and even Mu Rong...... He couldn't put it down.

So--is it time to say goodbye to the powerful?

Maybe we can see you again, but not now. At least until the crisis of the army pressing the realm is resolved, Qin Tian will not give him the opportunity to disarm and return to the field.

Just thinking about how to get out of the whirlpool of the imperial court, the old butler came to the hall at some point and said respectfully: "Master, Lord Chen asks to see you." ”

There are not many adults surnamed Chen, and among them, the only one who has the closest contact with Tang An is Chen Buping of the forbidden army.

"Please."

After a while, Chen Buping strode in. He was not the only one who came, and the four wolf-like forbidden soldiers behind him drove a middle-aged man, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

Chen Buping knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general, Chen Buping, see Lord Tang." ”

Tang An waved his hand and said, "Okay, there are no outsiders here, so don't come here." ”

In normal times, Chen Buping would hook up with Tang An after laughing, but today, he still had a straight face with a Chinese character, and let his position point to the person behind him: "My lord, this person swaggered into the city early this morning, and the last general felt that this person was suspicious, so he checked his luggage, and found a head in the baggage!" ”

Now Bianjing City has been completely martial law, and only entry is allowed but not exit. But everyone knows that Bianjing is about to become a dead city, and no one wants to enter this cage on weekdays, except for the people who deliver food and carry things to the door. And the person in front of him not only dared to come, but also dared to carry a human head openly, is this the rhythm of death?

Tang An couldn't help but look at the person kneeling on the ground, just glanced at it, and frowned slightly.

The man was in his thirties, with a well-proportioned mustache, and although he was wearing a rough and heavy coat, he could not hide his arrogance. Judging from his demeanor and demeanor, he doesn't look like a small person in the market.

Tang An frowned and said, "Hey, why do I think this person is so familiar?" ”

Yu Songnan, who was kneeling on the ground, smiled slightly, without the slightest nervousness: "Hou Ye is really a noble person who forgets things, his surname is Yu Songnan, he was originally the housekeeper of Xiangguo Mansion, and he has had several encounters with Hou Ye. ”

Tang An thought about it, and vaguely remembered that when Xiangguo had a birthday banquet, the old thing was to let the man in front of him bring him the fire grass.

Knowing that the other party was a person who traveled far away from the East, Tang An hated Wu and Wu, and had no intention of letting him get up, so he sat on the chair and took a leisurely sip of tea, and said, "I remember." Steward Yu is young and can manage the huge family business for the old thief, which shows that he attaches great importance to you, how could you give up your good future and return to Bianjing again? ”

Yu Songnan looked calm: "Why don't you see whose head the head belongs to first?" ”

Tang An's movements froze slightly, and he glanced at Chen Buping. The latter's face was solemn, and he pointed to the box carried by a big man behind him, and said, "My lord, the box contains the head of Dongfang Xuan. ”

Tang An was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that this gentleman who wanted to occupy Liu Tingge would end up like this. He stood up, walked over quickly, opened the box and took a look inside, and when he was sure that the head that had turned blue inside was Dongfang Xuan, he was suspicious in his heart.

This guy can be regarded as a confidant by Dongfang Yuanxing, and he should be loyal, why did he kill the old thief's lone seedling and come to the court?

Yu Songnan was very satisfied with Tang An's expression, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, are you still satisfied with this gift prepared by the villain?" ”

The title changed from "under the bottom" to "villain", a subtle difference, which has revealed his determination to hug Tang An's thighs.

Tang An is not a fool, so he can naturally smell a hint of flattery from his attitude. But he is not so foolish as to think that his charisma is enough to impress an important enemy person, but instinctively sees it as a weasel for the New Year.

Although I don't know what this guy is going to do, he must want to trick people!

He paced, and when he approached Yu Songnan's side, he suddenly kicked the other party's chest, and said angrily: "Satisfied, what is satisfied, this guy kidnapped my wife when he first kidnapped him, and he has always been a thorn in Lao Tzu's heart." If you kill him now, how can you let Lao Tzu take revenge with his own hands? You still put on a complacent appearance, do you think Lao Tzu still wants to thank you? ”

Yu Songnan never expected Tang An to react like this, the anger on his face flashed, but he knelt down again, and said, "Yes, yes, the villain failed to understand what Hou Ye meant." But his death, Dongfang has traveled far away and has no queen, and he thinks that he will also breathe a bad breath for the emperor. ”

Being insulted like this, he can still accept it calmly, which shows the depth of this person's scheming. Tang An was secretly vigilant and asked, "Let's talk about it." Why did you give up your great future and kill Dongfang Xuanyu instead? ”

Yu Songnan said: "Although the villain is the housekeeper of Xiangguo Mansion, he didn't know in advance that Dongfang Yuanxing would be so bold and dare to openly rebel. These days, the villain has spent all the time in fear, and has always wanted to defect to the court and serve the emperor. But you also know that your identity is too sensitive, and if you come to defect rashly, you may be regarded as a spy. After thinking about it, in order to make the court trust, the villain had to take a risk and kill Dongfang Xuanyi to prove his innocence. The villain's sincerity to the emperor can show the sun and the moon, and he begged the marquis to give the villain a chance. ”

Can the sun and the moon be seen? Not necessarily!

Although what he said was clear-sighted, Tang An also learned from the mouths of several people that the biggest reason for Dongfang Yuanxing's rebellion was that he didn't want his family to be swept away, so no matter how ruthless he was, he would never use his own son's life as a bargaining chip.

The man in front of him, who is shrewd from top to bottom, is worthy of a big responsibility in his thirties, and can be regarded as an absolute henchman of the Oriental journey. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the old thief in the East now has the advantage of strength, and once he ascends to the position of the great treasure, the benefits will definitely be indispensable to him, but why does he not want to follow the dragon's merits, but put himself in danger?

Tang Anxin summed up and summed up three words: there is a problem!

"So, you're still a loyal servant, aren't you? Then how do you want the court to reward you? ”

Yu Songnan was overjoyed, and said quietly on the surface: "Serving the emperor is the duty of every Tang Dynasty person, and everything depends on the decision of the emperor and the marquis." ”

"Smack!"

As soon as Yu Songnan's voice fell, Tang An suddenly slapped the wooden table hard, and shouted angrily: "Lao Tzu's tone is full of sarcasm and ridicule, you can't even hear it at all, and you really want a reward?" As the steward of the country, you betray the old master for disloyalty; Now I want to fish in troubled waters with bad intentions and try to break into my court, do you think I look like a fool? ”

Yu Songnan was dumbfounded, looking at Tang An, who was inexplicably angry, as if he had pressed a big stone in his heart: Damn, the plot shouldn't be like this!

"Your Excellency—"

"Shut up! I now suspect that you have an ulterior secret, you can remain silent, but everything you say will be testified in court! Tang An shouted angrily, "Suppress it and torture it!" ”

"Whoa!"

Yu Songnan, who was carried away by several big men, finally changed his color and said loudly: "Master Hou, my only son who traveled far away from the East is not enough to prove his sincerity?" You're clearly bullying! I want to see the emperor! ”

"See the emperor? You're thinking too much. ”

Tang An didn't even bother to pay attention to him. Hmph, as a close minister who traveled far away from the East, but when the war was so crisis, he killed the lone seedling of the family, and came to seek refuge in the emperor who was obviously weaker, if there is no problem, who will believe it?

Of course, investigating problems is not Tang An's specialty, he waved his hand and said: "Drag it down, send it to the Flying Heaven Gate, and find the deputy gate master Wang Daxian to interrogate him strictly!" ”
