Wang Jien shouted: "Mother! He rushed over, came to the bottom of the big tree, hugged Huang Zhaoyi's feet with both hands and sent it up, but the belt around Huang Zhaoyi's neck was a looper, and after being tightened, there was no way to take it off if it was sent up like this.

Wang Jien also discovered this problem, and he shouted urgently: "Lord Wang! Lord, come quickly, take off the rope around the mother's neck, and see if there is any salvation, hurry! ”

Zhao Dezhao was already frightened, sitting on the ground and screaming in fear. Wang Jien called him several more times, and then he came to his senses, got up and ran over, but the body was half a person high from the ground, and there was nothing to step on under his feet. He stood there in a panic, trembling: "How to ......, how to solve it?" I ......, I can't reach it......"

"Climb a tree! I'm afraid to climb a tree to untie it! ”

"Good!" Zhao Dezhao was in a hurry to climb the tree, so he climbed forward along the trunk of the tree, and finally climbed to the place where Huang Zhaoyi was suspended.

But when he got there, he was dumbfounded, because Huang Zhaoyi's belt was hung with a knot near the neck below after being thrown through a branch, and there was no knot on the branch at all, so there was no way to untie it.

He lay on the branch, reaching the knot with one hand, but it was too far away for his hand to reach.

Wang Jien below was already tired and panting: "Lord, are you okay?" ”

"No, I can't reach it!" Zhao Dezhao was also so anxious that he shouted.

In the midst of the panic between the two, a person ran out of the bushes and shouted, "Second Emperor Brother! Climb a little further, climb to the treetops, grab the branches, hang them, press them down, and I'll untie the ropes! ”

Zhao Dezhao saw that it was his half-brother Zhao Defang, and listening to his words was also a way, so he agreed, and carefully climbed forward along the branches.

This is the lowest branch of the entire big locust tree, very long, relatively straight, when he climbed halfway, the branch had a branch, he continued to climb a few steps along the thicker one, and he had reached the treetops, and at this time, the weight of the whole body had pressed down the branch by more than half, but Zhao Defang below still couldn't reach the belt, and he didn't dare to grab Huang Zhaoyi's body and pull it down, so he screamed in a hurry.

Zhao Dezhao gritted his teeth, grabbed the branch with both hands, turned over and got off the tree, and hung in the air.

Now, under the weight of his body, the branches bent into an arc. Huang Zhaoyi's body fell in half. Finally, Zhao Defang was just able to reach the rope on his toes.

The rope around Huang Zhaoyi's neck was tied with a slipknot, and Zhao Defang tore it open and took the rope from her neck. helped Wang Jien put Huang Zhaoyi on the ground.

Wang Jien was so tired that he sat on the ground. Zhao Dezhao hurriedly leaned up, probed Huang Zhaoyi's snort, his face changed greatly, and he said in a trembling voice: "She ......, she is dead......"

Zhao Defang came to investigate, and couldn't help but change his face greatly, and said in a trembling voice: "It's true that I'm out of breath, I'll call the imperial doctor to see if there is any help!" "Get up and run.

Wang Jien hurriedly said: "Wait! He squatted down, looked at Huang Zhaoyi, reached out to support the back of her head, and slowly lifted it up. Huang Zhaoyi's head was soft, and she didn't have any strength at all. Zhao Defang tentatively turned her head back slowly, but it was effortless!

Wang Jien said in a deep voice: "You don't need to go to the imperial doctor, Niangniang's neck has been broken." Even if Hua Tuo is alive, it is impossible to save her! ”

The Zhao Dezhao brothers were dumbfounded and looked at each other.

Zhao Defang's body seemed to be convulsed, and he collapsed to the ground with a bang. stared blankly at Huang Zhaoyi's half-open eyes, which had lost their luster. There was a drop in his eyes.

Wang Jien said: "You two guard the corpse, I will go to report to the official's house, - such a thing, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to cover it up!" ”

With that, Wang Jien hurriedly ran up the mountain.

Two brothers, Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang, were sitting on the grass. Zhao Defang looked at Huang Zhaoyi's corpse, looked at her messy dress, and slowly, reached over and covered the torn placket on Huang Zhaoyi's chest.

Zhao Dezhao said in a low voice: "You ......, why are you here?" ”

Zhao Defang snorted: "I'm just like you, come here to see it." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Dezhao's face changed slightly, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"You know what you mean!" Zhao Defang said coldly: "Don't say that you don't know how Zhaoyi Niangniang died!" ”

Zhao Dezhao stood up with a shout: "You ......, what do you suspect about me?" ”

"You know what you doubt!"

"I don't know!"

"You don't know? So what are you doing here? Zhao Defang stared into his eyes.

"I ......, I get up early and walk around, can't I?"

"Really?" Zhao Defang sneered, "Wait a while, my father will come, I'll see what you say!" ”

Zhao Dezhao looked at him: "Then why did you come here?" ”

Zhao Defang said: "I'm just walking around!" Occasionally come here! People who don't want to have self-proclaimed emperors in the future, even their elders don't let go! ”

"What are you talking about with insinuations?"

"What I'm going to say, you'll know when the official comes later! Because I'm going to tell the officials all about your ugliness!" - Don't try to kill people! If you want to fight, you may not be able to beat me! ”

This is the truth, although Zhao Dezhao is older than Zhao Defang, Zhao Dezhao's body is relatively thin, not as strong as Zhao Defang, and Zhao Dezhao is busy with official business all the time, and he is worried that the official family will be unfavorable to him, and he has less exercise, so his physical strength is not as good as Zhao Defang.

Zhao Dezhao said: "What do you say! Who's going to kill you? Zhaoyi Niangniang hanged herself, and no one is responsible! ”

"Whether there is any responsibility or not, I have to wait for my father to come and check to find out!"

"Naturally, I want to check, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape!"

"I'm not afraid."

"I'm not afraid!"

The two men looked at each other like fighting cocks. No one spoke.

After a while, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps on the mountain. After a while, the official Zhao Guangyi came to the scene, followed by the personal eunuch Wang Jien and the royal belt Leng Yi who carried a waist knife, this waist knife was left by Long Zhen who was shot and killed. The official family let Leng Yi carry it.

Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang hurriedly sat up and bowed: "Father!" ”

Zhao Guangyi ignored the two of them, walked to Huang Zhaoyi's corpse with a gloomy face, and saw that Huang Zhaoyi's hair was scattered and her dress was torn. His exposed skin was white and dazzling, and there were scratches on his neck, chest, and arms. On his neck, there was also a purple scar.

Zhao Guangyi's eyes were like lightning, he glanced at the two of them, and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Neither Zhao Dezhao nor Zhao Defang spoke.

Zhao Guangyi stared at Zhao Dezhao: "Wang Jien said that you called him." said that Huang Zhaoyi was going to hang herself, what's going on? ”

Zhao Dezhao lifted his robe and knelt down and kowtowed: "Last night, when Huang Zhaoyi came to Erchen's tent to toast, she told Erchen that when Erchen came out this morning, she would wait by the old locust tree on the side of the road in the middle of the mountain, and she had something important to tell Erchen......"

"What's the matter?"

"Erchen asked, but she refused to say, just let Erchen come here to talk."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Guangyi shouted angrily, "Then what can't I say to you on the top of the mountain?" But early in the morning, before dawn, he came inside? What the hell is going on? ”

Zhao Dezhao kowtowed with a pale face: "What Erchen said is the truth!" ”

"Was there anyone else?"

"No ......"

Zhao Guangyi turned his head to Leng Yi and said, "You go and see Huang Zhaoyi." ”

"Yes!" Leng Yi stepped forward, squatted down to check, and after a while, he got up and bowed to Zhao Guangyi and said: "Official, Huang Zhaoyi has many scratches and black greens formed by resistance, and he can't form it himself, it was caused by the infringement of others. And some of the injuries are located on the chest and lower body, and the clothes in both parts are also torn......"

Zhao Guangyi blushed and walked up to Zhao Dezhao: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Zhao Dezhao said in a panic: "Erchen ......"

Boom!

Zhao Guangyi raised a kick and hit Zhao Dezhao's face.

Zhao Dezhao fell backwards, bleeding from his nose and mouth. But he didn't dare to reach out and wipe it.

Zhao Guangyi pointed at him and scolded angrily: "Shameless silver thief!" What happened to the injuries on Huang Zhaoyi's body? If you didn't bully her, how could she hang herself? ”

Zhao Dezhao sobbed and had a nosebleed: "It's her ......, it's her who wants to seduce Erchen's ......, last night she used her wine surname to seduce Erchen's ......, saying that her father said what Erchen said, she wants to tell Erchen, let Erchen come here to wait for her ...... before he comes out this morning, after Erchen came, she said that she likes Erchen, hugging Erchen to make love ......, Erchen wants to leave, but she tore her clothes, saying that if Erchen doesn't obey, she will report to the official family that Erchen tried to rape her ......, and she hugged Erchen tightly and didn't let go of ......, Erchen tried hard to break free and want to leave, but she said I want to go, she will die, and as she spoke, she took off her belt and tied it to the locust tree, and put her head in it with her feet......

Zhao Defang next to him said coldly: "Huang Zhaoyi is hanging high in the air, half a person high from the ground, hanging with his feet on his feet, how can he go to such a high place?" It can be seen that the words of the second emperor brother are not true. ”

Zhao Guangyi glanced back at the tall branches, and was even more annoyed, kicked Zhao Dezhao again, kicked Zhao Dezhao on the heel, and said: "You insulted your aunt and made her angry and committed suicide, but you are still here with rhetoric, reversing black and white, insulting her posthumous reputation, I can't tolerate you!" ”

Zhao Guangyi stretched out his hand and pulled out a single knife from Leng Yi's waist, pointing at Zhao Dezhao: "You committed such a capital crime, and you still committed suicide, do you want me to hand you over to the Dazong Zhengsi for public trial, and lose face?" ”

After that, Zhao Guangyi threw the single knife in his hand in front of Zhao Dezhao.

Leng Yi hurriedly took off the scabbard and stood in front of Zhao Guangyi's side, staring at Zhao Dezhao vigilantly.

Zhao Dezhao did not study martial arts and was a standard literati. Zhao Guangyi, who has martial arts, naturally doesn't take him seriously. He said coldly: "Don't be nervous, if he dares to do something to me, I will let him die a miserable death!" ”

Leng Yi stepped aside.

Zhao Dezhao stared at Zhao Guangyi, and suddenly, he smiled, and his smile was very desolate: "I understand!" It's a trap you've set! Hahaha, use Huang Zhaoyi as bait, frame me, and force me to commit suicide, so that even if you find the Jinkui Covenant in the future, you don't have to hand over the throne! You can take my father's country as your own and pass it on from generation to generation! Hahaha, you actually want to force your own nephew to death for the sake of this country, the next step, you should force your own brother to death, right? - Fourth Emperor Brother, don't think that you can sit back and relax, you are also an obstacle for him to occupy our family, one day, he will kill you like this! Hahaha......"

Zhao Guangyi roared with a blue face: "You talk nonsense again!" You're welcome! ”

"You've never been polite to me! You used the military funds accumulated by my father for more than ten years to dig a huge Jin Ming Pond, just to please my father's concubine. You say that I have insulted my elders and violated the rules, but what about you? If you don't have good intentions towards the imperial sister-in-law, Hua Rui, is it in line with the ethics of Gangchang......? ”

Zhao Guangyi took a step forward, grabbed the single knife on the ground, and put it on Zhao Dezhao's neck.

Zhao Dezhao cried and laughed and roared: "Okay! Kill people and kill your mouth, you can kill my mouth, but you can't kill the ...... of the people of the world"

Zhao Guangyi dragged a single knife on Zhao Dezhao's neck, cutting a wide bloody hole in his neck and cutting off his throat. Zhao Dezhao's voice stopped abruptly, and blood spurted out from the wound on his neck like a fountain, and in an instant, half of his body was stained red.

Zhao Dezhao stared at Zhao Guangyi with dead eyes, and slowly fell to the ground, his eyes wide.

Zhao Guangyi threw the knife beside him, glanced at Zhao Defang, and said coldly: "You say, how did your second emperor brother die?" ”

Zhao Defang was clever, and hurriedly kowtowed: "It's ......, it's bullying Huang Zhaoyi's mother, Huang Zhaoyi's mother hanged herself in shame." And after Zhao Dezhao's lies were exposed, he killed himself in shame......"

"Well...... very good, then you can hurry up and inform Prime Minister Xue Juzheng that they are coming."

"Yes, yes! Erchen will go. Zhao Defang got up, wiped a handful of cold sweat from his forehead, and ran quickly to the top of the hill.

Zhao Guangyi turned to look at Leng Yi with satisfaction, and nodded slightly: "You are very pleased with my work." ”

Leng Yi bowed and said: "Weichen does things for the official family, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup." ”

"Very well, I won't treat you badly."

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Leng Yi looked up at Zhao Guangyi, smiled mysteriously, and continued: "Official, there is still a secret in this case!" ”

"What's the secret?"

"Wei Chen smelled a fragrance on the four princes just now, and it doesn't seem to be the smell of the sachet that the man is wearing."

Wang Jien next to him also said: "The old slave also smelled it, this fragrance seems to be the same as the smell on Huang Zhaoyi's body." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Guangyi's face was gloomy again, he was used to smelling all kinds of fragrances, plus the suddenness of the incident just now, and he found that this was a great opportunity to get rid of Zhao Dezhao, and all his thoughts were on this, so naturally he didn't pay attention to the smell. Listening to Leng Yi's reminder, he suddenly remembered that Zhao Defang really had the fragrance of a sachet worn by a woman. As for whether it was Huang Zhaoyi's, he wasn't sure. Hearing what Wang Jien and Leng Yi said, he walked over, squatted down beside Huang Zhaoyi and sniffed, and nodded slowly.
