In the palace, in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, Xiao Yue and Gu Shi'an knelt in front of Emperor Yongping, only to see two two-foot square copper boxes in front of them.

In addition to the palace, there are also Lord Yin Liu of Shuntian Mansion, the Duke of Yasukuni, and several of the emperor's confidants.

Xiao Yue opened one of them, and first took a loaded dossier and handed it to Emperor Yongping due to his father-in-law, and said,

"This is the evidence collected by the minister when he went to Jiangnan last summer for disaster relief, and it contains the separate confessions of the magistrates, all of which were interrogated separately, and the content was similar, all of them accepted bribes and jointly exploited the people with high-ranking officials in the capital."

Emperor Yongping took it in his hand, and his face became heavy when he looked at it.

After he read it, he passed it on to Lord Liu, Yasukuni Gong and others.

After reading it, Lord Liu slapped the table angrily, raised the file in his hand, and trembled, "Yang Ge's old wolf ambition, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, the emperor, Yang Ge should be put in prison immediately." ”

Everyone was shocked after reading the file, and no one cared that Lord Liu slapped the table in front of the emperor.

On the side, the Yasukuni Gong also said, "Just based on the case of Qinhe, Yang Ge should be beheaded according to the law." ”

Emperor Yongping looked at the testimony in his hand and was silent.

Seeing this, Gu Shi'an opened another box, took out another piece of evidence from it, and said, "This is what the minister found when he transferred from the northwest to Jiangnan last year, and there are some evidence in it that were found by friends in the rivers and lakes." ”

"There are Yang Gelao's henchmen and the helmsman of the Caoyun Wharf who have jointly sought huge profits from the merchants, and the time has been as long as six or seven years, first secretly deducting various items, and then in the first two or three years, they began to blatantly increase all kinds of taxes, and even those workers who carry bags on the wharf have all kinds of employment taxes."

"But it's a pity that there is no evidence of collusion between Yang Ge Lao and the Cao Gang, this case can break out for so long, and it can't be done without the chief helmsman of the Cao Gang, and the Cao Gang is heavily guarded, and the minister's friends in the rivers and lakes have tried to enter many times to investigate, but they have all been discovered......"

Emperor Yongping took those files, his eyebrows condensed, and he said in a deep voice, "What else?" ”

"Get up, your legs don't hurt, but my neck hurts." Emperor Yongping finally let the two of them get up, Xiao Yue helped Gu Shi'an to stand up, and then turned the box upside down, and all the confessions inside were piled up on the ground, and in an instant, the huge Heart Nourishing Hall felt crowded, and there were so many testimonies.

"In addition to the case of Yang Ge Lao, there is also evidence of Yang Ge Lao's private gang formation and faction formation over the years."

"Actually, Yang Ge Lao himself did not accept many bribes, their family's assets have been checked, no matter from the masters, wives, and in-laws in the house, there is no large amount of assets, it can be seen that he is not colluding with the Cao Gang for money, if he is not for wealth, for what?"

Emperor Yongping's face changed, and his voice was cold, "You said he might be rebellious?" ”

"Is it a rebel minister who dare not assert it, after all, this kind of thing is not something that three or five people can succeed in, and Yang Ge is always a Wenchen, and he has no troops in his hands, since ancient times, it is more difficult for Wenchen to rebel than to ascend to the sky."

"However, Jiangnan is rich, they have been exploiting for so long, no, they are not only exploiting in Jiangnan, other provinces also have, Guanjiangnan, there are millions of taels for so many years, where did this money go? What was done? ”

Gu Shi'an bent down, took out a few account books from those evidences, and handed them to Emperor Yongping.

Master Liu listened and said, "Could it be that Elder Yang Ge still raised dead soldiers?" ”

Xiao Yue looked at Lord Liu and nodded, "We all know that Yang Ge is always a civil servant, even if he wants to rebel, he must unite with military generals, and behind Yang Ge Lao, there is still a person hidden, this person is the British Duke." ”

"Frankly speaking, at the beginning, because of personal grudges, the British Duke dug up the graves of the king's mother-in-law, as well as King Su and Princess Jisu, and did such a heinous thing as crushing their bones and scattering ashes."

"If you don't take revenge, you're in vain."

"Therefore, this king and his father-in-law investigated the privacy of the British duke, but unexpectedly, they found out that he was colluding with Yang Gelao, and Yang Gelao's money was for the British public to raise soldiers!"

Xiao Yue's words were like thunder, blowing up on the heads of the ministers in the palace, for his calmness, but also for this news is too shocking.

Even the emperor has been quiet.

Suddenly, the sound of a quiet needle landing in the Heart Cultivation Hall could be heard.

"There are such ill-intentioned people in our court, Your Majesty, please make an order as soon as possible to eradicate this group of traitors who are bringing disaster to the country and the people and trying to rebel."

The Duke of Yasukuni was the first to come back to his senses and immediately stepped forward to ask the emperor to play.

The rest of the people also knelt in front of the imperial case at the same time, "Your Majesty, this matter is so conclusive, please make an order quickly, and return justice to the people of Jiangnan, and also a clear and clear society." ”

Xiao Yue and Gu Shi'an glanced at each other vaguely, and arched their hands, "I implore the emperor to issue an edict to arrest Yang Ge Lao and the British Gongyi Party, purge the court, and remove the danger." “

The emperor held the file in his hand, paced behind the imperial case, and then sat on the dragon chair, silent for a while, and said,

"One of these two people is the head of the cabinet, and the other is an important minister of the court, and the foundation in the court is too deep, so they have to uproot two big trees at the same time, and they must be uprooted, so they can't be in a hurry."

"Although there is a lot of evidence in it, there is no evidence of their collusion with the Cao Gang, and where are the soldiers they raised? Is there someone else who can command but them? ”

Lord Liu said anxiously, "The emperor can arrest them for interrogation, so that he can know." ”

"Your Majesty, you can't miss the opportunity, otherwise it's easy to startle the snake."

When Emperor Yongping heard this, he looked at Xiao Yue,

"Xiao Jiu, you are in charge of my secret guard, and I order you to secretly monitor all the movements of the two before Yang Ge Lao and the British Duke are arrested, and you can't let them escape and destroy the evidence."

"Gu Shi'an, I will give you the will, you and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department will handle the case of Yang Ge Lao and the British Duke together, I know that you have an old grudge with the British Duke, but I believe that you can handle it impartially."

"Yasukuni Gong, I order you to arrest the Cao Gang and all the people involved in the case on this evidence within ten days, and escort them to the capital, and no one shall be alarmed in advance."

"Liu Qingshan, I ordered you to mobilize all the officials of Shuntianfu to guard the major city gates, in case the two gangs of people resist and escape, and strictly check the people who enter and leave, and not let go of a single rebel party. If you disrespect the will, there will be no forgiveness for killing. ”

Everyone in the hall received the decree, Xiao Yue stepped forward and said,

"Your Majesty, this is a major event for my dynasty, why don't you let the crown prince get involved? The minister thought that as the prince, the prince should be involved. ”

Emperor Yongping looked at Xiao Yue with a complicated expression, his blood surged, he coughed for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yue, and said, "For this case, I will order the prince to supervise the whole process!" ”

Xiao Yue knelt down, "Your Majesty." ”

On the morning of the eighth day of the fifth month of the 22nd year of Yongping, the emperor suddenly issued an order to thoroughly investigate the incident of the Qinhe River bursting in the summer of the 21st year of Yongping, and sent his confidant ministers to investigate the matter thoroughly.

From now until the case is solved, the people involved in the trial must eat, live and stay in the palace and must not leave, and those who want to leave the palace are not allowed to appoint guards to accompany them throughout the process.

The people of Jingshi also found it unusual, first the major city gates were guarded by the Shuntianfu government and the five military camps, and at the same time, they found that many soldiers and horses were taken by the Yasukuni Gong with tiger talismans and did not know where they went.

All kinds of discussions and speculations sounded in the streets and alleys of the capital, and there was a feeling that something big was going to happen.

In the early days of the day, Yang Ge Lao and the British Duke did not participate due to physical discomfort.

By the time Elder Yang Ge received the news, he had no time to test the emperor's attitude. In fact, there is no need to tempt, the emperor's attitude is already obvious, at this moment, Yang Ge Lao feels that he is already standing on the edge of the cliff, and there is no way out.

He didn't expect that after so many years of planning, he would still fail after all.

He was glad that if it was just himself, then it didn't matter, it was just evidence of the crime of forming a party for personal gain, but the British public was exposed at the same time, so it confirmed his rebellious thoughts.

He made a lot of calculations, and miscalculated Emperor Yongping's attitude towards Gu Shi'an, he thought that if Gu Shi'an was stabbed out, Emperor Yongping would not let him go, so he could just take advantage of it.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Yongping not only released Gu Shi'an, but also let him re-attack the throne of King Su.

And he also offended Gu Shi'an because of this, and now, Gu Shi'an and King Jin's son-in-law have done too much, and they have left him no way out.

Right now, it's almost impossible for him to get out of the way.

Now it is impossible to get away with the crime, and the only way to get rid of the crime is to find a way to minimize the crime.

He asked the housekeeper to gather his staff and confidants to the palace to discuss countermeasures.

He thought about it for a while, and sent someone to quietly deliver a letter to the four princes.

The staff and confidants quickly gathered together, but before Yang Ge could speak, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a large number of guards with knives poured into the room in front of them, all of them with calm faces and well-trained, and the person in charge was Xiao Yue.

Seeing this, Elder Yang Ge shouted, "What are you doing here?" ”

Xiao Yue walked into Yang Ge Lao's study slowly, looked around, and raised a yellow silk in his hand, "On the emperor's order, Yang Ge Lao's study is sealed." ”

With that, he leaned on the side of the bed and instructed the guards, "Please go out and seal this place quickly." ”

Yang Ge has been in politics for nearly 40 years, and it can be said that he has been through storms for a long time, and in the face of this scene, his complexion has also changed greatly.

The emperor has thought of everything, what is the difference between them and being caught and convicted now?

Yang Ge Lao was kicked out of the study with all the staff members and henchmen, and watched the guards paste the seals with jade seals everywhere, and then heavily guarded them everywhere.

Yang Ge has been up and down for so many years, and it is the second time that he has a chill in his heart, and the first time is when the British Duke put the evidence in front of him.

It is not as uncomfortable as it is to put Emperor Yongping in prison all of a sudden, at least he doesn't have to be so tormented in his heart.

Waiting is the most torturous. Because, I don't know what will happen in the next moment.

The British government is also in such a state of chaos.

The British Duchess ran to the courtyard of the British Duchess with a pale face, followed by a large group of daughters-in-law and granddaughters such as the British Duchess and the Princess, all as white as paper.

"Grandpa Guo, what's going on?"

On the same day, the British prince was stabbed by Gu Shi'an, and the emperor then gave the British prince the position, and the male son of the family was relieved of all important positions.

At that time, they couldn't accept it, but today, those well-trained officers and soldiers entered the palace, although they did not disturb the female dependents, but sealed the study and other places, and then guarded them with heavy troops.

The British Duke has been deeply favored by the emperor since the beginning of the previous dynasty, and the only time when there are guards in the palace is when the emperor comes, when the emperor first ascended the throne, he often goes out of the palace to discuss things with the British public, but today, it is not the emperor who is coming, why do those officers and soldiers break into the palace?

The British duchess looked incredulous, and the ladies behind her were also flustered.

With the support of the old servant, the British duke reluctantly got out of bed, but he was not panicked.

"Let's all go back to their rooms, it's fine."

Even if the British duchess is calm, the British duchess does not believe that there is nothing. She wanted to say something, but she saw that the eyes of the British Duke swept over, and they were cold like never before.

The British duchess didn't dare to say anything more, tears rolled up, and she took a handkerchief and printed her eyes with her eyes and retreated with her daughter.

The study had been sealed, and the British Duke could no longer go to the study, so he went to the flower room with the support of the old servant, and the place where the white porcelain vase was originally placed was empty.

Only the room was full of flowers.

He looked at the camellia in a daze, at this moment, the flowering period has not passed, and the flowers are in full bloom.

If the emperor's successive decrees were thunderous, then the guards with knives in the Yang Pavilion Old Mansion and the British Mansion were like divine soldiers descending from the sky, confirming that what awaited them was a storm.

Xiao Yue's arrival did not show any warning at all, no, in fact, he had been waiting for this day since he told Gu Shi'an that the current saint was not a saint.

Since Gu Shi'an's action is so accurate, his actions are fast, and he doesn't drag his feet at all, what is his chance of survival?

It is said that wealth is sought in danger, and it is rich and noble if you ask for it, and if you can't ask for it, it will become a catastrophe.

If he can be a hero once, he can do it a second time.

He has been climbing for so long, how can he fail like this?

The emperor never dismissed their officials, let alone made a move against them, and he was really very calm.

Well, he should be equally calm.

He remembered the codex that Gu Shi'an gave him later, and he never regretted buying people to poison King Su, but he just went down to see them without face.

However, as long as this time, he let Gu Shi'an ascend to that position, and everything will return to the original point again.

He walked over to the bookcase, opened the secret compartment, and took out the letters and documents inside.

There was a bloody letter in it.

*

In the palace, Emperor Yongping looked at the mountains of folds in front of him, coughed a few times, frowned, and asked, "Have you found out the identity of Mr. Zhang in Xiaojiu's Mansion?" ”

Father-in-law Yu bowed down and said, "There is news below, they want to enter the Jin Palace, but they did not succeed, but it has been confirmed that Mr. Zhang is Zhang Chunzi." ”

"Your Majesty, are we going to debunk it?"

Emperor Yongping shook his head and said slowly, "Debunked? Forget it, if you don't need it, let him stay in Xiaojiufu first, otherwise, I don't know where to go. ”

After he finished speaking, he sighed, "I'm really old. ”

Father-in-law Yu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted, and King Jin will understand sooner or later." ”

Emperor Yongping snorted coldly, "Will he understand?" If he could understand, he would not have tried to pull the prince into this incident. ”

Emperor Yongping sighed lightly, even if he was an emperor, many things did not follow their strategy.

He is not a man who will regret winning the prize, since many things have happened, we must continue to look forward, and maybe there will be a day when the day will fall.

He coughed heavily, and Father-in-law Yu hurriedly patted him on the back, and stuffed a soft pillow behind his waist to make him sit more comfortably.

With the trial of Qinhe's case last year, the strict guarding of the city gates, and the sealing of the study rooms of Yang Ge Lao and the British Mansion, the officials have already smelled the smell and know who they are going to.

If the two important ministers of the DPRK and the central government are both overthrown, they will definitely pull a large group of high-ranking officials and ministers.

And these high positions have long been coveted by many people.

Therefore, these days before the emperor's imperial case more than three times more than usual.

At the moment when the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, Emperor Yongping pressed down the folds.

In the final analysis, it was because the soldiers and horses raised were not found.

They have been planning for so many years, and they have gathered so much silver, why have they been dormant? What opportunity are they looking for to bring this rebellion to light?

He prides himself on not being a faint king, and has always considered the community, although he has the suspicion of the emperor, but he has never touched the meritorious ministers, but has treated them one by one.

Why are these people?

*

In the mansion of the Five Princes, Zhang Ying sat on a chair, her hands trembling on the armrests, and she listened to her mother's crying with a sudden heart.

The eldest princess of Taining was full of tears, and while wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she said in a panic,

"You don't know...... Now that the family is being held by those fierce and evil people, and everyone in the family is in danger, your grandfather says that there is nothing to ...... But where would I believe ......"

The eldest princess of Taining fell on the desk next to her, and her crying body shook and shook.

Zhang Ying was also chilling at the moment, and asked in a trembling voice, "Isn't there anyone to help our family speak?" Why exactly? ”

The eldest princess of Taining choked up and said, "Who dares to speak for our family now?" It's just that your grandfather is fine, your father's position has long been taken away, and no one dares to touch it when he runs outside...... They all say that our family wants to rebel......"

"I came to see you, and there was no way to do it."

Zhang Ying got up and put her arms around the shoulders of the eldest princess of Taining and said, "Mother, don't worry, since my grandfather is not panicking, it means that the situation is not bad, besides, there is still the queen mother in the palace." ”

"Besides, hasn't Your Majesty's will not come down yet? Isn't the matter still being investigated? ”

The eldest princess of Taining shook her head, her eyes were red, "You don't know, Your Majesty was very filial in the past, but this time, the Queen Mother heard that her home was sealed, and she fell ill in a fit of anger, but the emperor didn't go to see her for several days...... There has never been a ...... before"

"Even if Wei Niang wanted to enter the palace to see the saint, the saint refused to see him......"

There is no family affection in the heavenly family, and when nothing happens, she is the sister of the saint, a royal princess, and can enter and leave the court, but once something happens, she is nothing.

Grace, grace, all maintained on the emperor.

Zhang Ying said in confusion, "Our family has the queen mother, and my mother is still the eldest princess, how can I rebel, it must be wrong, Your Majesty will definitely give justice to the family." ”

The eldest princess of Taining looked at her innocent daughter, and her heart was already full of tears, "Your Majesty's temperament, you don't know, the more he doesn't move, the heavier the departure, if it's an ordinary little mistake, how can the door be closed?" ”

She took a deep breath and said, "Ying'er, can you go and beg the fifth prince now?" ”

Zhang Ying looked at the eldest princess of Taining with an ugly face, and the eldest princess of Taining said, "Let him help intercede with His Majesty, as long as His Majesty sees the Queen Mother, our family will not fall, after all, no matter how you say it, it is Your Majesty's mother's family." ”

"You tell the fifth prince, as long as he can let His Majesty go to see the Queen Mother, in the future, how he will send, our family will not say a word......

Zhang Ying looked at the eldest princess of Taining in a trance, at a loss, but in the end she still asked, "Didn't grandfather say that it was okay?" Why are you all afraid? As long as my grandfather doesn't fall, my family won't fall, the fifth prince, my mother doesn't know yet, he hates our family. ”

The eldest princess of Taining looked at Zhang Ying with hatred, "Silly boy, your grandfather said that it's okay, it's okay, but it's the whole family who lost his head, if it's really a rebellion, but if you want to be connected, you, the married girl, can't escape." ”

"What will the five princes do to you in the future, do you know?"

Zhang Ying nodded indiscriminately, sent away the eldest princess of Taining, paced back and forth in the room, and suddenly asked the maid beside her, "You say...... Will the prince help our Zhang family? ”

She still pinned her hopes on the Queen Mother, the emperor has always been filial, the British Mansion is the Queen Mother's maiden family, and it is the emperor's maternal family, so you can't say that you can cut it.

The maid saw the panic on her face, and said, "Princess, a husband and wife for a hundred days, if the prince doesn't help you, who else can he help?" Besides, didn't the princess just say that our family will be sent by the prince in the future? ”

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse......"

Zhang Ying nodded hesitantly when she said it, no matter what happened to the Queen Mother, it was always better for her to work hard here, she bit her lip and said, "Yes, I am his concubine, and he naturally wants to help me." ”

"If he doesn't help me, I'll expose his scandal......"

Zhang Ying said ruthlessly, holding the maid's hand and going to the courtyard of the fifth prince.

The place where the five princes live is not far from the main courtyard, she stands at the gate of the courtyard of the five princes, indescribable taste, since he got married, he rarely enters the main courtyard, either alchemy outside the city, or in his own courtyard to call concubines to serve, not even out of the door.

She pushed open the door of the study, and saw that the fifth prince was discussing things with the staff, and when she saw the door open, she shouted angrily, "Are there any rules?" ”

Seeing that it was Zhang Ying, he asked, "Where did your rules go?" How did you get here? ”

Zhang Ying suppressed the sourness in her heart, ignored the indifference in the words of the fifth prince, and said, "Lord, the concubine has something to tell you." ”

The fifth prince hooked the corners of his lips sarcastically, Zhang Ying has always been high and condescending in front of him, how could he ever be so low-voiced.

He lowered his eyelids, leaned back in his chair, and said, "You ...... you?"

The staff of the five princes on the side wanted to leave, but were stopped by the five princes, Zhang Ying bit her lip, and finally didn't dare to ask for a clearing, and blessed her body,

"His Royal Highness should know about the affairs of the Zhang family...... The emperor is suspicious of our family...... But the prince knows, how could our family do such a thing......"

Seeing that the five princes were indifferent, she felt bitter, "Now my grandfather's study has been surrounded, although my father has not issued an edict, but my mother said, I am afraid that ......it will be disposed of."

As she spoke, her eyes closed, her knees bent, and she fell to her knees at once, "Lord Wang, I hope you will save the Zhang family for the sake of our husband and wife." ”

"Now that the emperor refuses to see the queen mother, he begs the prince to intercede in front of the emperor and let the emperor go up to meet the queen mother, maybe things will take a turn for the better...... My mother said that as long as she escaped this catastrophe, the Zhang family would be sent by the next prince. ”

She kowtowed as she spoke, she had been pampered since she was a child, but after a few strokes, her forehead was broken, and blood was dripping from it.

The fifth prince did not stop, and his expression was indescribably sneering, "Let me send it?" This king doesn't have that ability, the truth of the matter will naturally be found out, the queen mother is already ill, you dare to let this king be that wicked person? ”

Zhang Ying's eyes widened and she looked up at the fifth prince, "Lord Wang......"

The eyes of the five princes were full of disgust, "Your Zhang family made a big mistake, and you still want to go into the water with King Laben?" Your Zhang family is the Zhang family, I am me, they will naturally be punished for making mistakes, do you want to bring me down? ”

Zhang Ying listened to his words, her body trembled, and she said in disbelief, "I am your wife and your concubine." ”

The fifth prince looked at her mockingly, and his voice was cold, "How did you become my concubine, you know it in your heart, but from today on, you are not." ”

I saw the fifth prince holding a pen and writing on the paper, and after putting down the pen, he threw the paper in front of her.

The paper fell lightly in front of Zhang Ying, Zhang Ying looked at it, and saw that it was written,

Lin Yi, the author of the book...... Wife Zhang Ying...... There are many negligences...... Seven out, return to the sect, and let the remarry ......"

The fifth prince paced in front of Zhang Ying, looked at her condescendingly, and said, "If you marry me, you will not be respectful to me, you will not be able to take care of the affairs of the government, and you have no heirs, so you can not be the princess of this king, you take the letter of resignation, and you will go to your Zhang family." ”

Zhang Ying tore up the letter of resignation, and said in a trembling voice, "We are married by the emperor, you dare to disobey the holy decree?" You don't have the right to divorce me, I'm the fifth princess of the royal jade butterfly! ”

The fifth prince said slowly, "I will show the Holy Lord, and I believe that the Holy Lord will also agree with my approach." ”

Zhang Ying looked up at the fifth prince with red eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "You said that I have no heirs, what is the reason why you know that I can't take care of government affairs?" Have you left the affairs of the house to me? Disrespectful to you? How have you ever been kind to me? ”

"Now that the Zhang family has fallen, do you want to send me away with a piece of paper? Dream. ”

She didn't kneel anymore, stood up, and glared at the five princes angrily, "You have to help today, and if you don't help, you have to help, otherwise, I will expose your ugly things......"

The fifth prince lowered his eyes to look at her, his eyes narrowed, and said, "Oh? Then tell me, what is my ugliness? ”

After the fifth prince finished speaking, he turned around, his face was cold and tired, and his eyes swept over the entourage who had been standing in the dark, like a shadow.

Zhang Ying saw that the fifth prince didn't even give a look, so she said sadly, "If people don't know, unless you don't do it, don't think that no one knows about those things in Zhuangzi in the suburbs." ”

"I know exactly where the children you brought from Princess Jin's good hall are and what they are doing."

"If you don't want these things to be known by Princess Jin, you can go to the emperor to intercede."

The fifth prince suddenly turned his face, "You check me?" ”

Zhang Ying giggled and said, "So what?" Although I dislike you, I want to make a decree in the palace, and if you don't enter my room or the door of the concubine, of course I will find out where you are going. ”

"After all, if our good mother wants to ask, I must always be able to answer her, right?"

"I thought you were just a nurseryman, and I even thought that you liked Xiao'er, but I didn't expect you to do such a conscientious thing."

The fifth prince squinted, said in a soft voice, and stepped forward to pinch Zhang Ying's chin, "You know everything?" Who else are you going to tell at this point? ”

Zhang Ying looked at him stubbornly, "You are my husband, once what you do is known by the saint, it will be a dead end, and I will naturally not tell others." ”

"Lord Wang, husband and wife are one, although I don't want to marry you, but after all, our fates are connected, so I didn't tell anyone."

As soon as Zhang Ying's words fell, she only felt a pain in her back, the sound of a sharp blade piercing into the flesh, 'poof', she looked down at her abdomen, the tip of the knife passed through her clothes, with blood, penetrating her body.

She burst into tears, clutching her hands indiscriminately, trying to grab a life-saving straw, but the fifth prince had already retreated to the edge of the bookcase, and she fell to the ground.

With frightened eyes open, she watched the five princes' cloud-embroidered shoes come to her, and then his fluttering voice,

"Thank you for being a husband and wife with me, on this day next year, I will give you a pillar of incense, and I will also collect the corpse of the Zhang family."

Blood kept gushing out from the corners of Zhang Ying's mouth, and so did her abdomen, she laughed as if she was returning to the light,

"Believe you, I'm stupid, but don't be complacent, I have already written what you did on a letter and handed it to me as a dowry, as long as something happens to the nest, she will hand over the letter to King Jin......"

When the fifth prince heard this, his face was hideous, he pulled out the sharp knife, and stabbed it into Zhang Ying's body, "Say, that one is ...... dowry."

Where can Zhang Ying withstand this, she can no longer answer the words of the fifth prince.

The fifth prince kicked Zhang Ying, who was silent on the ground, and ordered, "Hide the news of the princess's death, thoroughly investigate her dowry, and find out the ...... of the letter."

Not to mention the chaos in the Five Princes' Mansion, ten days after the panic in the capital, as the Yasukuni Gong escorted the criminals from Jiangnan to Beijing, the case of the Qinhe embankment burst was finally closed.

Yang Ge Lao was sitting in the mansion, the emperor's net had been cast, and there was no news from the four princes, and he knew that he had nowhere to escape.

But he didn't want to die, although he had imagined that there would be today, but he really didn't want to die.

"Old man......"

The housekeeper outside rushed in all the way, panicking, and then there was the scream of the maid outside, and there were heavy footsteps, neatly and uniformly.

He got up and walked to the door, only to see Xiao Yue break in with a team of people.

"Yang Shuyan, take the order."

The accompanying eunuch unfolded the yellow silk in his hand and read it aloud.

What to read Yang Ge Lao did not hear clearly, he only knew that he had also prepared such an excerpt, at that time, he was still young, as when he walked in the study, he had drafted it instead of the previous emperor and imprisoned the will of King Su.

At that time, his career was thriving, and at that time......

After the decree was read, the soldiers behind Xiao Yue had already separated from all parts of the mansion, and in an instant, the sharp shouts of the women, the wild roars of the men, and the cries of the children were intertwined.

“…… Raiding the house...... All the ...... prison"

The eunuch's greasy voice spread to the old mansion of Yang Ge, to the British Mansion, and to the various mansions related to this case.

When the British Duke took people to announce the decree by Gu Shi'an, he was wearing a full set of dresses, formal and solemn, and when he saw Gu Shi'an, he said,

"I want to see the emperor."

Gu Shi'an pursed his lips, and after announcing his will, he said, "Your request, this king will give it to the saint and wait for the summons." ”

The British Duke stood with his hands in his hands and said leisurely, "I am going to see the emperor now, he doesn't see me, you tell him that he has a secret, and I, as an uncle, have known it for a long time." ”
