Xie Xian belongs to the scheming and calculating type, he has never gone straight to the point, but all kinds of detours and outflanking, grinding and chirping for a long time, but he didn't get to the point, which made Xiahou Yong a little anxious.

"Bao Tonggang, why didn't you see your sister and brother-in-law?" Xiahou Yong spoke.

Hearing Xiahou Yong speak, Bao Tonggang's face changed slightly, and then he put on an angry look and said, "Master Hou doesn't know, Li Mingyuan turned out to be one of the murderers of General Yang's son, his true identity is a demon of the White Lotus Sect, I suspect that he has a high status within the White Lotus Sect, just before you came, I have already reported this matter to His Royal Highness King Ning, and King Ning instructed to escort him back to the capital and hand it over to the emperor!" ”

As soon as Bao Tong's words fell, Xiahou Yong got up and scolded, "Put your mother's stinky bullshit, is Li Mingyuan a demon of the White Lotus Sect, you know very well in your own heart, what is the trouble of wanting to add to it?" ”

"Yumen Hou, calm down, calm down, if you have anything to say, sit down and talk slowly, what kind of system is this noisy?" Zhao Changyong stood up and mediated.

"I can't calm down, this dangling knife is on my neck, how can I calm down?" Xiahou Yong is now angry, what he is worried about is that Li Mingyuan is his godson, today he was framed as a high-level member of the White Lotus Sect, so will it be himself who will be framed tomorrow? Nothing like that can happen.

"Master Hou, I know that Li Mingyuan is your godson, and you have the heart to defend him, but the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. I hope you don't get confused by this! Zhao Changyong said quietly.

Xiahou Yong: "~~~~~~~~! ”

Xie Xian, who has always pretended to be a master in the world, can't sit firmly on the Diaoyutai at this time, and helps Xiahou Yong to open his mouth. "Li Mingyuan, this kid, I have seen it, he is loyal and pure, and he has a kind temperament. It definitely won't have anything to do with the White Lotus Sect! ”

Xie Xian is a university scholar and the first assistant of the cabinet, and his words are of course much more deterrent and deterrent than Bao Tonggang's three-eyed words. But this is not the capital, no matter how effective he is, these local snakes don't give him face, so there's no way.

"I agree with Lord Xie's words. Judging from Li Mingyuan's performance over the years. There really isn't much suspicious. However, the best thing for the people of the White Lotus Sect is to hide themselves! Yang Xuhui said evil with his intentions.

From the first day Xia Houyong met Yang Xuhui, this guy has been working against him. Keep going against it. It's like eating. As long as Xiahou Yong agrees. He is against everything, he really can't find anything wrong, and he will complain about the last two sentences. Therefore, Xiahou Yong was extremely dissatisfied with Yang Xuhui. Today, Yang Xuhui framed Li Mingyuan. It made Xiahou Yong feel that it was really a big disaster for this person to stay.

"General Yang is right, but Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. A demon is a demon, and it will inevitably show its feet! Bao Tonggang nodded.

After trying to calm down the anger in his heart, Xiahou Yong began to argue with reason.

"Li Mingyuan has been with me for so many years, others don't understand, Yang Xuhui, you should know the Tao. How could he, such a smug person, be a demon of the White Lotus Sect? ”

Because of his anger, Xiahou Yong's voice was so loud that it shocked Yang Xuhui.

"Yumen Hou, everything can't be said so absolutely. Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts. It is difficult to paint the skin and flesh. What if you have been deceived by someone with ulterior motives? Zhao Changyong picked up the teacup and said calmly.

"What does His Royal Highness King Ning mean by this?" Xiahou Yong snorted coldly.

"Bold, Xiahou Yong, what are you to dare to talk to my uncle like this?" Bao Tonggang stood up and shouted.

Xiahou Yonghu was stunned, and he was about to go crazy, but Xie Xian on the side hurriedly grabbed him.

"Everyone, calm down, calm down, if you have anything to say, say it slowly!" Xie Xian stood up and reconciled.

The face of the scholar still has to be given, and several people snorted coldly and sat down separately.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't care if this Li Mingyuan is a demon of the White Lotus Sect or not, but this official went to Beijing this time to follow the emperor's holy decree!" Xie Xian said.

Everyone immediately sat up straight and began to listen.

"The emperor was very pleased to hear that the Yumen Pass was a great victory and hundreds of enemies were captured, and specially ordered the officials of the department to prepare a grand ceremony for the sacrifice of prisoners in the capital. This official is here to escort the prisoners into Beijing! ”

Hearing this, the faces of the people in King Ning's family remained unchanged, and the so-called prisoner sacrifice ceremony didn't seem to have much to do with them.

"That's a good thing!" Zhao Changyong smiled.

Xie Xian smiled weirdly: "It's indeed a good thing to show the prestige of the country, but the problem is now, this official is just the main envoy who escorts the prisoners!" ”

"Oh, so there is a deputy envoy?" Zhao Changyong said with interest.

Yang Xuhui on the side suddenly showed a smile, he felt that he should be very likely to be the deputy envoy. In terms of qualifications and prestige, they are all competent.

"The prince is smart, and he does have a deputy envoy!"

"I don't know who?" Zhao Changyong asked.

"Actually, everyone here knows this person1!" Xie Xian sold Guan Zidao.

As soon as he heard this, Yang Xuhui became even more proud, and he felt that he must be the best choice.

"That's Li Mingyuan!" Xie Xian's words instantly kicked Yang Xuhui from the clouds into hell.

Yang Xuhui: "What? ”

Zhao Changyong: "No! ”

Bao Tonggang: "How is this possible? ”

No matter how unbelieving Zhao Changyong and the others were, they didn't dare to question Xie Xian's words. Everyone knows what status Xie Xian has in the emperor's mind, and no one will question him in person without opening his eyes. In this way, the problem suddenly arises. Li Mingyuan is not only a demon of the White Lotus Sect, but also a deputy envoy appointed by the emperor to escort the captives into Beijing. The disparity between the two is really too bad, how to find a balance between them.

"Before the emperor made this holy decree, he must not have known the true face of Li Mingyuan!" Zhao Changyong said indignantly. Regarding this complaint, Xie Xian was too lazy to defend it. Anyway, his fist has already been stretched out, who he hits and how he fights, then it's not his concern.

The deputy envoy named by the emperor himself. This identity undoubtedly gave Li Mingyuan a talisman, so that Bao Tonggang and others did not dare to act rashly. At least before Li Mingyuan's charges were completely implemented and handed over to the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department for confirmation, the unauthorized use of Li Mingyuan's words undoubtedly gave Xie Xian the handle to kill them.

After another difficult choice, Zhao Changyong still released Li Mingyuan obediently, but this does not mean that he will give up, this old and cunning guy, of course, has a back hand. When he arrives in the capital, there will still be no good fruit for Li Mingyuan to eat.

successfully bailed Li Mingyuan out. It's done. Xie Xian and the others hurriedly left Bao Mansion without stopping. Regarding Zhao Changyong's lack of determination, Yang Xuhui and Bao Tonggang couldn't help but feel dissatisfied in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it. I had to watch Li Mingyuan swagger out of the hall with resentment.

"Master Xie, you are here. Do you know that I waited so hard for you? "As soon as I walked out of the gate of Bao Mansion. Li Mingyuan couldn't help but wipe away his tears.

"Hey. Mingyuan, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, it's really unfortunate! Xie Xian couldn't help but sigh again and again. It's true that no one wants this to happen. But then again. Li Mingyuan should have been strong at the beginning, saying that he couldn't get married, these are good, the yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants, it was not but.

"Li Mingyuan, where is your daughter-in-law Bao Jinhua?" Xiahou Yong frowned.

At the mention of Jinhua's poor girl, Li Mingyuan suddenly felt sad in his heart. told him the situation with a sad face, and Xiahou Yong and Xie Xian couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh after hearing it.

Although he successfully escaped from Baofu, Xie Xianzhi said that according to Zhao Changyong's temperament, this matter will never stop there, and there must be bloody rain in the capital to welcome Li Mingyuan. However, at this time, Li Mingyuan couldn't escape, and as soon as he escaped, he was convicted of the crime, so although there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he had to grit his teeth and move forward.

Xie Xian's trip came and went in a hurry. In order not to delay the ceremony of sacrificing the prisoners, without much rest, he and Li Mingyuan hurriedly set off with a team of elite border troops to escort the Hun captives. And Yang Xuhui also followed with his own soldiers, and he was traveling together, but he was secretly spying.

For Xiahou Yong, who was like a fart, Li Mingyuan and Xie Xian didn't bother to pay attention to it, this time, Xie Xian must have been in danger. So Li Mingyuan also took Qiuzhu and Yuxin with him, one went to the capital to see if there was any business to do, and the other of course continued to take care of his own life. I have to say that Li Mingyuan has no awareness of the imminent catastrophe at all.

At this time, the capital was already rumored, although the day of offering prisoners was getting closer and closer, but a big net was also opening more and more tightly.

The second prince Zhao Xingjiang has been secretly very close to King Ning, he feels that King Ning is a big help for him outside the court, and he wants to compete for the throne, King Ning will definitely be able to give him a great help, so after getting King Ning's flying pigeon transmission, he immediately began to arrange a strangulation layout for Li Mingyuan.

As soon as Li Mingyuan entered the capital, he was taken down by a group of six-door patrols and officials of Dali Temple, and he was not allowed to resist at all.

"Presumptuous, who are you? Who gave you the audacity to act against the deputy envoy who was escorting the captives? Xie Xian said angrily.

"Master Xie, we are just acting on orders, this person is a demon of the White Lotus Sect, and he was personally ordered to be arrested by the second prince. If you have any dissatisfaction, go directly to the second prince! The leading official didn't care about Xie Xian at all, and directly took Li Mingyuan away. Xie Xian trembled angrily, but he had no choice but to take Qiuzhu and Yuxin back to the house to settle down first, and then find a way to save people.

Here, when Xie Xian was about to save people, the second prince Zhao Xingjiang was facing the saint.

"This Li Mingyuan is a member of the White Lotus Sect? Is the message true? Zhao Changqing looked at his son and questioned a little.

"Father, this matter is absolutely true, Yang Xuhui, the strong general of the Tiger Army, can testify!" Zhao Xingjiang swore an oath.

The son is confident, and Zhao Changqing is not good at pouring cold water on his face, besides, this Li Mingyuan is just a little-known person, and it is not impossible to use it to practice for the prince.

"In that case, then leave this matter to you!" Zhao Changqing waved his hand and said lazily.

Zhao Xingjiang was overjoyed when he heard this, but then reported again, "Father, there is still something to be investigated in this matter!" ”

Zhao Changqing: "Let's talk about it! ”

Erchen also found out that this Li Mingyuan would be the murderer of General Yang's son, and there were many murders in Liangzhou. If we keep tracking, more shady scenes will definitely be dug up! Zhao Xingjiang said excitedly.

Hear this. Zhao Changqing was also a little moved, it seems that this Li Mingyuan is really quite problematic.

"In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

"Erchen feels that this matter is very important, and it is necessary to send several respected ministers to jointly try this case!" Zhao Xingjiang said slowly.

"Manchu civil and military, who do you think can take on this important task?"

Zhao Xingjiang raised two people: one was the palace servant Yu Shi Taijie, and the other was the supervisor Yu Shi Luo Xishuang. But the general answer is three people, and there is one less. Zhao Changqing personally sent one person: Lin Shiyu, a bachelor of Hanlin.

Zhao Xingjiang knew that Lin Shiyu was not his own person, and he also knew that Lu Dao was selfless and acted impartially. Therefore. I don't feel very strong in my heart. But then he thought, those two are my people, why be afraid of him?

Zhao Changqing passed down the decree: the trial will be held in three days. After the dispersal of the dynasty, Lin Shiyu returned to the mansion. Sit in the study. A scholar offered tea. The adults drank tea and pondered how the case would be interrogated in three days.

At this time, a person walked in from outside the study. This person is eighteen or nine years old, with a martial arts scarf on his head, a white hanging plain on his body, and a pair of satin boots on his feet; Looking at the appearance, the heavens are full, the forehead is round, the skin is white, like a dough, the eyebrows are clear and the eyes are beautiful, and the ears are hanging down the shoulders. This person is Lin Zhong, the son of Lord Lin, nicknamed Jade Butterfly.

After Lin Zhong entered the study, he saw that his father's eyes were straight and silent, as if he was thinking about something, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Dad, what are you thinking?"

Lord Lin said helplessly: "Where do I know the way, the second prince caught the demon who was making trouble in Liangzhou, long live the decree, and the court will be tried three days later, and there is a history of serving the emperor in the palace. Supervise the imperial history, and be a father. My father was thinking, how to interrogate this demon?"

"Daddy, what's the name of this demon?"

"His name is Li Mingyuan."

When Lin Zhong heard Li Mingyuan's words, he was dumbfounded.

"What's wrong? Have you heard of this demon? Lin Shiyu said solemnly.

"That's not true, but Daddy, this Li Mingyuan is a great talent who fights for fame, and the poems he writes are very popular in Taixue!" Lin Zhong said with a hint of adoration in his tone.

"Oh, that's it?" Lin Shiyu said in disbelief.

Lin Zhong hurriedly took out a book of poems that he carried with him, and pointed out several of Li Mingyuan's poems for Lin Shiyu to enjoy.

"Good, good, good poetry, rare good poetry!" After Lin Shiyu read it, he couldn't help but nod his head again and again.

Lin Zhong squeaked on the side, "Daddy, I think there must be some conspiracy here, and those who can write such poems must not be the kind of bad people who commit trouble!" ”

"Could it be someone with the same name and surname?" Lin Shiyu questioned.

"Probably not, Li Mingyuan, who wrote the poem, is a captain of the border army, and his identity is also consistent with this person!" Lin Zhong shook his head and said.

"In that case, I have to take a good look at this case, whether this Li Mingyuan is really bad, or was framed by someone!" Lin Shiyu clenched his fists and said.

Over there, the Second Prince's Mansion is also planning this. Zhao Xingjiang ordered someone to find the palace attendant Yu Shi Taijie and the supervisor Yu Shi Luo Xishuang, and said: "The demon Li Mingyuan made trouble in Liangzhou and killed people. You must ask Li Mingyuan to confess and recruit his accomplices. After the deed is completed, this prince will definitely have a heavy reward. ”

Taijie said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, why is it difficult to ask the demon to confess?" It's like picking up something. ”

Luo Xishuang said: "It is easy to let Li Mingyuan confess. Please rest assured, Your Highness. "These two boys can blow better than the other!

In order to protect Li Mingyuan, Xie Xian has been running around these days to tell each other, looking for some of his protégés and former officials to come out and speak, including Lin Shiyu. Originally, Lin Shiyu had the heart to defend Li Mingyuan, and after getting Xie Xian's request for help, he patted his chest and agreed, saying that when the case was tried, he would definitely look at it. Make every effort to defend Li Mingyuan.

In fact, in the final analysis, Li Mingyuan is just a small person, even if he is killed, Zhao Changyong and Zhao Xingjiang will not have much benefit, their ultimate goal is to use Li Mingyuan's fire to pull Xiahou Yong in and burn this military boss to the point that there are no ashes left.

Xie Xian's arrest undoubtedly touched the minds of many high-ranking officials in the capital, and also made the name of this little-known border school remembered in the hearts of many bigwigs.

Zhao Qiying, who arrived in the capital ahead of schedule, was a guest at the Jin Palace. She was sent by her father to Uncle Wang's house in a daze. Or it would be more appropriate to use the word tie, because he didn't want to come over at all. But her arms couldn't twist her thighs, and she couldn't help it. Just when she was thinking about finding an excuse to say hello to the King of Jin and ask him to send someone to send her back to Liangzhou, Zhao Yanyu brought her a piece of news that Li Mingyuan had come to the capital.

Knowing that Li Mingyuan came to the capital, Zhao Qiying was a little calmer, but before she could be happy for long, another bad news came, Li Mingyuan was arrested by the people of Dali Temple, and the poor county lord almost fainted on the spot. As soon as he woke up, he cried and shouted to let his uncle Jin enter the palace to see the emperor to intercede, and the king of Jin was sad enough, and it was rare for his niece to come over to play once, so he reluctantly agreed.

On the day of the opening of the hall, Lin Shiyu, Taijie, and Luo Xishuang arrived, and after the ceremony, they played drums and ascended to the hall. There is a desk in the lobby, seven feet long and three feet five wide, with a red and black inkstone on the table, a three-mountain pen holder, a pen holder, a printing box on the left, and a signature holder on the right. There is a plaque hanging in front of it, on which are written four words: The mirror hangs high. The decree hangs in the center.

Soap class, strong class, fast class, officer's room, household room, ceremonial room, soldier's room, torture room, workshop, these three classes and six rooms are lined up on both sides. The soap class is in charge of punishment, the strong class is the one who leads the case, and the fast class is the one who arrests people. There are six screens on the left and right nine queens, and when asking questions, the official's wife can listen to the hall here. But normally, no one does it here. (To be continued......)
