This is an old man who doesn't know how old he is, with three strands of hair floating on his chest, and the hair on his head is black and white. Wearing a long gown with gray sè, the fabric is the best Jiangnan brocade. However, the old man didn't seem to care much, and tucked the hem of the robe into his belt, and the robe was also covered with dust, and many places had holes exposed.

While listening to the guard's narration, the old man kept looking inside, and seemed to be very interested in the two Song brothers. The expressions on his face are constantly changing, starting with shock, then playful, and finally different.

Song Yingsheng glanced at his younger brother, his eyes were full of Yan Sè, he put his head close to Song Yingxing, lowered his voice and said, "Be careful, this old man is not simple!" ”

Listening to Song Yingsheng's words, Song Yingxing nodded hurriedly, this is the first person to appear here in half a month. If I and my eldest brother want to go out, I'm afraid it will fall on this person. Lowering his head and thinking about it, Song Yingxing said uncertainly: "Big brother, is this person the elder of that white prince?" If so, we might be able to get out. ”

nodded approvingly, Song Yingsheng also felt that it was very possible, after all, he and his younger brother had been locked up here for half a month. In the past half a month, except for the guards at the door and the food delivery, no one has appeared. If this old man is not a person with a simple identity, I am afraid he will not be able to get here.

After thinking about Song Yingxing's words, Song Yingsheng also nodded, after all, he is an elder in the family, so he has to understand things more than he is younger. It's not appropriate to detain the two of you here, and I hope this old gentleman can be reasonable.

The guard seemed to have finished his prayer, and the old man nodded lightly, and walked in, looking at the two Song brothers with a strange smile on his face. His eyes kept looking back and forth on the two of them, as if he wanted to see something from them.

"Song Yingsheng, Song Yingxing, I've seen the old man!" Song Yingsheng and Song Yingxing hurriedly stood up, respectfully saluted the old man, and said.

Nodding slowly, the old man took his expression seriously, his eyes moved away from the two people, and he said: "No need to be polite, the two of you are here, and the old man only came over today, which is really rude!" ”

Listening to the old man's words, the two brothers suddenly showed joy, and Song Yingsheng hurriedly said to the old man: "Old man, our brother doesn't know where to offend your son, it's really an unintentional mistake, and I asked the old man to turn around on his behalf and release the two of us brothers." Although our brother is not from the capital, is it a little inappropriate to be detained so arbitrarily? ”

Song Yingsheng's words were very polite, but the meaning was also clear, although they had no power or power in the capital, their identities were also lifted. It's too much for you to arrest two lifters for no reason.

The old man's expression remained unchanged at all, and he pondered for a moment before he said with a smile: "The two of you are looking down on the old man, the old man is just the housekeeper here, and many things are not counted." The two of them were guests invited by the young master, and the old man was inconvenient to say anything. ”

"Sir, since you are the housekeeper of this family, I am bothered to tell your son-in-law that if we still do this to our brothers, we will go on a hunger strike from today onwards. Literati have backbone, and we will not linger! Song Yingxing saw that the old man didn't care, and his heart was crossed, and he said with some excitement.

Seemingly frightened by Song Yingxing's words, and as if he had other ideas, the old man shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Come with me!" As he spoke, he walked up the stairs and gently pushed the door of the north study open.

Song Yingsheng and Song Yingxing glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes, and hurriedly followed. However, the two of them could never have imagined that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had thrown them here, let alone that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had forgotten them at this time.

Looking at Luo Sigong who was kneeling on the ground, the Emperor of the Apocalypse gently knocked on the table, and his face became very solemn. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Lu Aiqing, what is Xu Aiqing busy with now?" ”

Luo Sigong, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned for a moment, why did the Emperor of the Apocalypse ask about Xu Xianchun's coming? Although Xu Xianchun respects himself very much and is also very capable in Jinyiwei, Luo Sigong doesn't like this person.

As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Luo Sigong has read countless people, although Xu Xianchun looks like he is self-denying, but Luo Sigong feels that Xu Xianchun is very dangerous. However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse wanted to reuse Xu Xianchun, Luo Sigong didn't know what to say, and said after a while: "Lord Xu is very good in presiding over the affairs of Beizhenfu, and the errand is also done well. ”

Nodding, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't say anything, but turned the topic back to the topic just now, and said, "Is that all the things that Jinyiwei has mastered now?" Can you catch someone and touch the melon? ”

"Back to the emperor, it can now be determined that there are spies from Jiannu in the capital, and Jinyi Wei has also monitored a few. The East Factory also had a lot of gains, and Father-in-law Wei and his ministers worked together. However, these people seem to be dead soldiers, and they commit suicide as soon as they find that they are exposed, and Jinyiwei and Dongchang have tried several times, but most of them have not succeeded. The mouth that caught the hand was also very hard, but fortunately, Jinyiwei and Dongchang still had some means in interrogating the prisoners. Luo Sigong couldn't keep up with the jumping thinking of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but he knew that his best way was to answer honestly.

Looking at Luo Sigong with a slight frown, seeing that he was going to say that Jinyiwei and Dongchang were going to be executed, the Emperor of the Apocalypse waved his hand, interrupted Luo Sigong's words, and said: "Let's talk about the point directly, I don't want to hear the process, I just want to know the result!" ”

Luo Sigong's face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" After the interrogation of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, a few people's mouths were still pried open. However, they don't seem to know much, only that they were sent to the capital by wild boar skins. As for what to do, they all have to follow the instructions from above, and they don't know who is up there. ”

How can it be? The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, with such a tight organization, would the wild boar skin have such a clear intelligence mind? No, something must have gone wrong. After pondering for a long time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked, "Luo Aiqing, are these people captured by Jinyiwei and Dongchang Han or Jurchen?" ”

was stunned for a moment, but Luo Sigong was a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "Back to the emperor, most of these people are Han Chinese, and a very few are Jurchens. They all came to the capital in different ways, and they were all scattered and stationed. There is no contact with each other, and they are all connected by code. ”

Listening to Luo Sigong's words, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Luo Sigong with an idiotic gaze, and said a little angrily: "Luo Aiqing, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, didn't you think of a way?" ”

Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was angry, Luo Sigong hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has already arranged for someone to wait for the rabbit, as long as someone comes to contact him, he can follow the vine." ”

After listening to Luo Sigong's explanation, the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, but he still glared at Luo Sigong dissatisfied. With a serious face, he said: "Do this errand well, the stakes are very high, don't make any mistakes!" Don't always get on your knees, get up! ”

"Emperor Xie, the ministers must live up to the Holy Lord's entrustment and do their best!" Luo Sigong hurriedly promised, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stood aside respectfully.

Luo Sigong knew in his heart that this matter had dragged on for too long, and Jinyiwei and Dongchang had gained very little, so it was no wonder that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was not angry. I made up my mind that this time I must do the errand well, and arrange people when I go back.

"Your Majesty, Father-in-law Wei from Dongchang is here!" Wang Chengen walked in at this time, stood in the hall with a respectful face, and said.

Emperor Apocalypse and Luo Sigong neither expected the Wei Dynasty to come back at this time, but the reactions of the two were different. Luo Sigong's face sank instantly, could it be that the Wei Dynasty had something to hide from him?

waved his hand and motioned for Wang Chengen to bring the Wei Dynasty in, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse wanted to see what the Wei Dynasty had to say. If he came to trouble Luo Sigong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt that he needed to change the Dugong of Dongchang.

In the Ming Dynasty, it is not certain that there will be a son of heaven and a courtier, but it is certain that the son of heaven and a eunuch will be a eunuch. Every emperor who ascends the throne will change the eunuchs in the palace, that's for sure. After the Emperor of the Apocalypse ascended the throne like this, most of the eunuchs in the palace were old people, which was very rare.

Reusing the Wei Dynasty, the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt that this person could wrestle with Wei Zhongxian, although he was defeated in the end, his ability was not too bad. But for such a long time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse found that the Wei Dynasty had disappointed him too much.

"Nubei Wei Dynasty to participate in the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Wei Chao walked in quickly, quickly knelt on the ground, and respectfully kowtowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty had his own favorite eunuchs, and originally these eunuchs were supposed to serve by the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not call them. The Wei Dynasty had already seen the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and if it weren't for Wang Chengen's help, the Wei Dynasty would have felt that the emperor was ready not to use himself.

Signaling the Wei Dynasty to rise up, the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked with a serious face, "Wei Dynasty, is there anything wrong?" Just now, Luo Aiqing had already told me about the spy, and the errand was done well. ”

Glancing at Luo Sigong on the side, Wei Chao showed a little apology on his face, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Lord Luo is loyal to the country, and he is a first-class virtuous minister, and the slave is naturally incomparable." However, Dongchang just received a little news, and Nubei didn't have time to talk to Lord Luo, but the matter was urgent, and Nubei still felt that it was better to report to His Majesty first!

The Wei Dynasty said so much, not so much for the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but for Luo Sigong to listen. Although Jin Yiwei and Dongchang are not in harmony, but now at this time, the two of them can only work together, otherwise there will be some mistakes in the errand, and the unlucky ones are two people.

Luo Sigong on the side suddenly put his heart down and smiled at Wei Chao, he didn't suspect that Wei Chao was lying to himself, because there was no need. It is not easy for the Dugong of Dongchang to be able to say these words.

Nodding, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "What's the important news?" Could it be that Dongchang has caught some big shots? ”

"Back to the emperor, no!" Wei Chao's face suddenly turned red, he was used to seeing the tolerance and generosity of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and suddenly became mean, and he was a little uncomfortable.

Luo Sigong on the side liked Wei Chao very much, but his god remained unchanged at all, standing on the side solemnly, frowning slightly, looking worried.

"Your Majesty, Dongchang has found out the news that the White Lotus Sect has entered Beijing!" Wei Chao stabilized his mind and told the news he knew, and suddenly the entire hall was silent.

Luo Sigong, who turned his gaze to the side, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had hesitation on his face, what was going on? White Lotus Sect, what a headache name.

glared at Wei Chao fiercely, although Luo Sigong knew that Wei Chao did not deliberately put himself together, but now it is no different from putting himself together. Last time in Zunhua, I worked hard to kill the White Lotus Sect, the sect leader was killed, and the saint was arrested, so it can be said that she showed her face.

Now he actually said that there was still the White Lotus Sect, which was simply slapping himself in the face, Luo Sigong's atmosphere was in the atmosphere, but the matter of the White Lotus Sect had to be cautious. The uprising in Shandong has just been suppressed, and the matter of Huang Taiji also has their presence, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse has no good impression of the White Lotus Sect.

"Your Majesty, although the minister defeated the White Lotus Sect in Zunhua City, killed its sect leader, and captured the holy woman alive. However, the White Lotus Sect is secretive, presumably the minister failed to clean it up, please ask the emperor to punish the crime! Luo Sigong knew very well in his heart that Dongchang must have received definite news, otherwise the Wei Dynasty would not be so sure. Instead of quibbling, it is better to admit it directly, so that the Emperor of the Apocalypse will not blame himself.

After taking a deep look at Luo Sigong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said slowly: "Aiqing is just exterminating the White Lotus Sect in Zunhua, and there may be remnants in the rest of the place, and this is not to blame on Aiqing." ”

"Emperor Xie!" Luo Sigong saw that things were as he expected, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not blame himself, and his face suddenly showed joy. But when he heard the next sentence of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he couldn't laugh anymore.

"However, Jinyi Wei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and he is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and the White Lotus Sect has entered Beijing but has not found out, Aiqing seems to want to give me an explanation!" By the end of the Apocalypse Emperor's voice, his voice had become very harsh.

Hurriedly picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and said, "The minister is negligent, please ask the emperor to punish the crime." ”

"I won't cure your sins easily, but put away useless thoughts, who is merit and who is wrong, I know very well in my heart. Put away those careful thoughts, and be honest is the right thing to do. The Emperor of the Apocalypse stared at Luo Sigong tightly, his face extremely serious.

Knowing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was dissatisfied with himself, this was just beating himself, Luo Sigong hurriedly kowtowed, and said while kowtowing: "The minister does not dare to have the grace of the saint, he must do his best!" ”

Waving his hand and motioning for Luo Sigong to get up, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said indifferently: "This time I will write it down for you, but the two of you must remember to keep your duty and do your own things well." Don't stretch your hand too long, and don't hide it from me, it won't do you any good! ”

"Don't dare!" This time, even the Wei Dynasty knelt down, and the two of them saw that this was the Emperor of the Apocalypse indirectly expressing his dissatisfaction with the two of them.

Letting the two of them get up, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at the Wei Dynasty again, and Shen Sheng asked, "Wei Dynasty, tell me about it!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! Since the last time Lord Zunhua Luo exterminated the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect has been strictly investigated all over the country. Destroyed a lot of the White Lotus Sect's incense halls. Because it happened suddenly, the White Lotus Sect was leaderless! When Wei Chaogang said this, he slapped his mouth and said, "The White Lotus can't teach a young person, how can it be worthy of a group of dragons without a leader." ”

"Okay, don't worry about that, go on!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse waved his hand, and now he was still in the mood to put this.

Wei Chao also felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "The White Lotus Sect suffered heavy losses for a while, so it can be said that it was destroyed. However, in the White Lotus Sect, there are some diehards, who want to enter Beijing to recapture the Holy Maiden and continue the incense of the White Lotus Sect! "Don't dare to look up at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wei Chao said cautiously.

Lowering his head and thinking about it, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Wei Dynasty, how do you know?" Do you know so well? ”

"Your Majesty, Dongchang has spies in the White Lotus Sect, and I couldn't get in touch with him some time ago, but I got back in touch when I went to the capital this time." Wei Chao had a little smug on his face, he buried this foreshadowing well, and he was going to be in the limelight this time.

"Father-in-law Wei is better to be careful, there is Jiang Gan stealing books in the Three Kingdoms, Father-in-law Wei should not destroy his future!" Luo Sigong really couldn't stand it anymore, and said in a weird way.

Glancing at Luo Sigong playfully, Wei Chao's face suddenly showed an angry face, and said, "Lord Luo's analogy doesn't seem appropriate!" Since Jiang Gan stole books, who does Lord Luo think is Cao **? ”

Luo Sigong's face suddenly turned red, if the Wei Dynasty is Cao **, then the emperor is Emperor Han Xian. If the emperor is Cao **, then he is a big rebel! As soon as Wei Chao said a word, Luo Sigong suddenly sweated like rain, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't mean this!" The minister just wants to persuade Gonggong Wei, everything is better to be careful! ”

Slammed the table hard, the Emperor of the Apocalypse could be said to be furious, looking at Luo Sigong with cold eyes, and then at the Wei Dynasty.

Wei Chao was suddenly triumphant, he was too clever, and Luo Sigong couldn't pick it up now? Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was angry, he was even more happy, and it was best to drive Luo Sigong home.

"You guys are so disappointed that you are still tearing each other down at this time, okay, you all go down!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse waved his hand weakly, rubbing his swollen forehead with the other hand.

At this time, Wei Chao was also unexpected, his face suddenly turned pale, and he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

"All right, go down! If you can't do it, one of you will go home, and the other will go to the emperor to keep a watch! The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't look at the two people again, but just waved his hand to signal the two people to go out.

No one dared to speak anymore, and the two of them stood up, saluted respectfully, and stepped back step by step.

When the two of them were about to walk out of the main hall, the voice of the Emperor of the Apocalypse came from inside, saying: "Jinyiwei let Xu Xianchun enter the palace, and Dongchang asked Cao Huachun to come!" ”
