Seeing that the man was a little hesitant, Lu Siguan continued, "Are you standing in front of you at this time the current emperor and the queen mother, as long as you tell the mastermind behind the scenes, I will beg the emperor to spare you from dying." ”

The man in black hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth to say a name, and when he heard it, the emperor was so surprised that he couldn't believe his ears.

The Assassin was talking about nine thousand years old.

In fact, if you think about it a little, it is not difficult to know that in this well-guarded palace, it is natural that only 9,000 years old can arrange so many people to assassinate the emperor and the queen mother, and can dress up as the royal forest army.

"Your Majesty, what this person said must be right, that is, nine thousand years old, a few days ago, the Japanese people were ordered to enter the palace to check the body of the emperor's eldest son, and when she went home, she was caught by her subordinates at the age of nine thousand, and then she was taken to a black prison, and she learned from the mouth of nine thousand years old that this black prison was in the palace." Liu Chunyan saw that the emperor didn't believe it, so she stood up.

"Is that true?" The emperor looked at Liu Chunyan and asked loudly.

"That's true, it was Lord Lu who rescued me that day. Otherwise......"

Hearing this, the emperor immediately turned to look at Lu Siguan, and his eyes seemed to ask Lu Siguan why he didn't report it.

Lu Luffa hurriedly stepped forward and leaned down and said, "The emperor atoned for his sins, it is not that the minister deliberately did not report it at this time, but this nine thousand years old is not an ordinary person, and it is not so simple to ask him for guilt." ”

"Isn't it easy for me to ask him for sin? That's what you mean? The emperor said loudly, and the entire Cining Palace immediately became very quiet, and the anger became extremely nervous, and the palace maids on the side were trembling with fright.

"Emperor, the most important thing at this moment is to be calm, and you listen to Lord Lu's words." The Queen Mother stood up and said.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Chunyan walked in front of the emperor and said bluntly, "Actually, you can't blame Lord Lu for not reporting it and deliberately concealing it from the emperor. ”

"Because I saw a lot of killers ambushed outside the imperial study that day." Liu Chunyan continued.

After hearing this, the emperor turned to look at the emperor's eldest son.

The eldest son of the emperor said that he did take Liu Chunyan to the imperial study, but he was intercepted by Lu Siguan halfway, but he didn't know that Liu Chunyan wanted to report to the emperor that it was about nine thousand years old.

"Your Majesty, that day, Weichen did organize two people to sue the emperor, but the minister was not to protect the nine thousand years old, just because the nine thousand years old planted explosives around the imperial study that day, and also ambushed a large number of killers, as long as the eldest son of the emperor went to the imperial study, the nine thousand years old will definitely detonate explosives, if the emperor and the eldest son of the emperor have an accident, the eunuch will definitely correct the little prince, and then assist the government." Lu Siguan told the emperor his thoughts.

After listening to the emperor, he began to believe it, and suddenly felt a little heartache, he believed in it so many years old that he was nine thousand years old, but he didn't expect that he would seek to usurp the throne.

"Miss Lu just said that there is a black prison in the palace, which was set up by 9,000 years old, and I will tell you about it in detail."

"Your Majesty ......" Lu Siguan was about to speak, but was preempted by Liu Chunyan and said bluntly, "The black prison is in the imperial city, and the specific location of the people doesn't know the people's daughters, but the people in this black prison have gone in and know that you are all nine thousand years old and privately detaining the imperial court officials." ”

The emperor looked at Liu Chunyan and motioned for her to continue.

"The last time the folk girl entered this black prison, there was a Master Zhang on one side of the cell of the folk girl, who was said to be the Lord Zhang who disappeared five years ago, but it's a pity...... Master Zhang eventually committed suicide in his cell. Liu Chunyan continued.

"Lord Zhang......" The emperor whispered softly, as if he recalled something, he has been blaming himself for the events of the past five years, including the queen mother has also mentioned this matter in front of the emperor many times.

"Where is this black prison now, I want to see for myself." The emperor looked at Lu Siguan and said.

Lu Siguan got up and looked around, and then looked at the emperor, in fact, so many things happened at this time, he was a little reluctant to take the emperor to the prison, worried that something would happen.

After seeing the emperor's expression, Lu Siguan did not say what he thought, and finally decided to take the emperor forward.

Under the leadership of Lu Siguan, the emperor and the queen mother walked towards the black prison together.

In a corner not far from the imperial study, there is a small door, this is a small side door to enter the black prison, very hidden, usually there are some small eunuchs guarding here, today there are many things in the palace, the eunuchs are afraid that they have already fled for their lives, so there is no one to guard.

Everyone followed the small door and went down to the ground, and as soon as they entered the door, everyone asked about a pungent smell, and some of the concubines complained a little.

Along the narrow staircase, Lu Siguan alone held the lantern in front of him, protected Liu Chunyan who was following closely behind, and walked slowly to the front.

"Your Majesty, you are here later, wait for Weichen to investigate first, Weichen is worried that there will be assassins hidden here." Lu Siguan actually didn't know that at this time, the assassins here had already gone out to attack the emperor and the queen mother, and a group of people were in the palace of the queen mother's birthday at this time.

After checking and making sure that it was safe, Lu Siguan let the emperor enter this black prison together.

Looking at the people imprisoned in the cells on both sides, they didn't react at all when they saw the visitors, as if they had long been used to this, no one was lying on the dead grass with their eyes closed.

Hearing the footsteps of the emperor and everyone, occasionally one or two people would open their eyes, but immediately close their eyes again.

If this kind of scene is outside, it will definitely be a crime of killing the head, and it will be disrespectful to the emperor.

Most of the people imprisoned here are court officials, I don't know how long they have been detained here, most of them have given up hope of getting out, and are just waiting for the daily prison meal.

Looking at this shocking scene, the emperor's heart was shocked, there was such a dark place under the ground a hundred meters away from the imperial study, and the people who were imprisoned were all his own court officials.

"I was locked up in this cell that day, and Lord Zhang was imprisoned here, and I was killed on this wall that day." Liu Chunyan pointed to the cell in front of her and said.

After Liu Chunyan finished speaking, the emperor pushed open the cell where Master Zhang was held before, and slowly walked in, and through the faint light, he vaguely saw two lines of words on Qiang: "The sun and the moon can be seen from the heart, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister is dead." ”

Seeing these two lines of words written in blood, the emperor shed tears of remorse, regretting that he should not have listened to the rumors of being 9,000 years old, put Mr. Zhang's family in prison, and ordered Mr. Zhang, who was far away at the border, to return to Beijing immediately for trial.

"Your Majesty, people are not sages, who can do nothing, look at the fact that there are so many people in the black prison who have been framed by nine thousand years old, this is the ......," Liu Chunyan said softly.

"This eunuch plotted to kill my Celestial Dynasty Sheji, his crime should be punished, his crime should be punished......" The emperor roared loudly in this black prison.

Hearing the emperor's roar, the people in the cell next to him moved slightly, only to see him slowly sit up from the dry grass, look at the emperor and rub his eyes.

"Your Majesty...... It's really the emperor......" The man said with tears, "The sky is really open, the old minister has been locked up here for ten years, and he can still see the current saint." ”

Hearing this, the emperor hurriedly asked Lu Siguan to open the chain on one side and enter the cell, but the emperor didn't remember who the person in front of him was.

"Your Majesty, don't you remember the old minister, Weichen is the first-class sword guard next to the emperor back then, responsible for protecting the emperor and Yu Lan of the Pope's martial arts."

After listening to the emperor, he instantly remembered, he remembered that ten years ago, Yu Lan's family was ransacked by bandits overnight, and more than 40 members of the family were killed overnight, which was still a big case that caused a sensation in the capital at that time.

"Lord Yu, why are you here?" The emperor helped Yu Lan up, but saw that Yu Lan's legs were not stable at all, and he trembled for a while before he could barely stand up.

There are still many people in this prison who have broken their hamstrings like Yu Lan, in order to prevent them from escaping, after all, Yu Lan's martial arts back then were not weak.

"What happened back then was done by nine thousand years old, I saw him kill my wife and children with my own eyes, but I Yu Lan is not good at martial arts, and my skills are not as good as others, so I was caught by him here, I don't know how many days and months have passed, and the minister does not want to die, just because I want to see the day when the old eunuch dies."

Hearing Yu Lan's own statement, so pathetic, Liu Chunyan couldn't help crying, this person is so similar to her own experience, she understands the pain in Yu Lan's heart, and is even more happy that he can wait for this day.

Liu Chunyan didn't know when her father would be able to avenge Zhaoxue, and many times she also wanted to tell the emperor about the Liu family, but she hesitated, because she didn't have the slightest evidence.

"Yu Aiqing, it was my fault that made your Yu family humiliated for more than ten years." The emperor hid his face and cried.

The relationship between the emperor and Yu Lan back then was also very deep, just like today's Lu Siguan, but Yu Lan's mind was not as deep as Lu Siguan's, so he was calculated by the nine thousand years old.

When the 9,000-year-old saw that the emperor and Yu Lan were getting closer and closer, he was worried that one day Yu Lan would seize the power in his hands, so he designed to assassinate the Yu family.

The emperor also ordered a thorough investigation, just because the murderer did not leave the slightest evidence, plus it was nine thousand years old who was responsible for supervising the case, and the case was finally closed, and finally it slowly sank, and no one will remember that there was once such a person as Tailan.

"This eunuch, in vain Fei Zhen trusts him so much, how many people have he murdered, Yu Aiqing, Zhang Aiqing...... There is also the assassination in the palace today. The emperor said.

"The emperor is not a place to stay for a long time, the nine thousand years old should control the officials in the main hall, and everyone will be escorted here in a while, we should go out first and wait for the opportunity to take down the eunuch." Lu Siguan said softly.

Lu Siguan's worries are not unreasonable, after all, this black prison is the territory of nine thousand years old, deep underground, and there are hidden organs everywhere, if nine thousand years old suddenly come back, then Lu Siguan alone will not be able to protect so many people.
