The three of them stepped on thick steps, pushed open the wooden door, and walked in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info enthusiastic Xiao Er immediately smiled and greeted him: "Hehe, the three are objective, please here!" ”

There was still a lot of noise in the inn, drinking, eating, and laughing...... None of the people present noticed what was going on outside......

A few days ago, the Imperial City East Factory.

A sneer hung on Cao Shaoqin's snow-white and delicate face. Standing in front of him were the other three of the four stalls of the East Factory - Jia Ting, Lu Xiaochuan, and Chang Yanxiao. Jia Ting, who stood at the head of the right, was full of white hair, more than ten years older than Cao Shaoqin, and was the founder of Dongchang, second only to Cao Shaoqin in terms of prestige and martial arts, ranking first among the four major stalls. Lu Xiaochuan, the second on the right, has a delicate face, a long body, is clever and resourceful, and is Cao Shaoqin's chief think tank, ranking second. Chang Yanxiao, the first person on the left, is in charge of confidential documents in the East Factory, and he is low-key and cautious, but he is Cao Shaoqin's number one confidant. The second place on the left is the brave and good rising star Shuangdao Cao Tian. The four major stalls form the core team of the East Factory.

On the execution platform facing Guancheng, a middle-aged official covered in blood was hanged high. He still breathed a sigh of relief after being tortured, the middle finger of his right hand trembled slightly, and his chest couldn't help heaving.

"Whew~!" Cao Shaoqin tilted his body, blew on his slender fingers, and asked casually, "Who is he?" ”

Jia Ting bowed down: "Duke Yudu, he is Yu Qian's favorite general, Yang Yuxuan, the secretary of the military department." ”

"Yang Yuxuan-" Cao Shaoqin seemed to think of something, "is that Yang Yuxuan, who instigated the students to write a letter to oppose the southward move in the Nanjing Gongyuan, and also led the two Huai rebels to the king of Beijing Qin?" Oh, it's not a small name, what did you do? ”

Jia Ting said: "Yang Yuxuan, February 17, impeachment of Dongchang; On the eighth day of the fourth month, he submitted a letter of advice to the emperor, requesting the closure of the East Factory and the punishment of the governor. ”

Lu Xiaochuan also took a step forward and took out two books from his sleeve: "Governor, Yang Yuxuan's admonition is here." ”

"I see-" Cao Shaoqin raised his eyelids and said with a smile: "Lord Yang-"

On the torture rack, Yang Yuxuan swallowed a mouthful of blood and spat fiercely: "Phew~!" ”

"Yu Qian's old road, do you want to go again?" Cao Shaoqin flicked his fingers, "You came specifically to find trouble with me - our eunuchs in Dongchang have always been loyal to the emperor, and you rely on a little merit to slander and falsely accuse and frame Zhongliang like this, aren't you afraid of losing your head?" ”

Yang Yuxuan gasped, his arms struggled hard, and the severe pain hit, he took a strong breath, and said reluctantly: "Eunuchs are not allowed to participate in politics, it is the legacy of Taizu!" Yu Gongkuangsheji was in danger, welcomed the saints in the desert, and made great contributions to the world, but was falsely accused and killed by your group of petty traitors! You Dongchang set up a private court, indiscriminately killed the loyal and good, and ruined the souls, and dared to deceive the emperor, which is intolerable! ”

Jia Ting turned around sharply and shouted, "Still hard--execution!" ”

The two brocade guards stepped forward and manipulated the torture rack - the wooden clamp fell down in response, Yang Yuxuan snorted, and blood was sprinkled little by little.

"Yang Yuxuan, I think you are getting older and more confused!" Cao Shaoqin smiled cruelly, "If I hadn't been able to protect your loyalty in front of the Holy Lord, you would have been able to climb to the position of the secretary of the military department!" Hand over the military power, huh! I'll spare you from death! ”

"Hmph~" Blood, a little bit like silk, Yang Yuxuan sneered to himself, "You rebellious ministers go against the party and act recklessly, without the emperor's edict, don't think I will hand over the military power!" ”

"I want a holy decree," Cao Shaoqin flicked his fingers, raised his eyebrows lightly, "Come on, let's write one for him." Chang Yanxiao took the Great Seal of the Holy Decree from the side and spread it on the case in front of Cao Shaoqin, without saying a word.

"You!" Yang Yuxuan was indignant, his mouth was full of blood, "Cao Shaoqin, a thief in Dongchang!" How dare you pretend to be a saint! ”

Cao Shaoqin's pen dipped in cinnabar: "Isn't the will of the saint the will of our Dongchang~" The punishment was carried out again, Yang Yuxuan just snorted miserably, and the blood was splashed, soaked in the holy decree of the Dongchang.

Chang Yanxiao walked down the city, walked to the torture rack, looked up and down, and replied: "I killed myself by chewing my tongue~"

"Duke-" Jia Ting bowed and said, "Yang Yuxuan's military department is still a scholar in the cabinet, and the official residence is a good grade, we have to condemn him to death, so that we can have an explanation for the emperor." ”

"Hmph, hasn't he always wanted to rehabilitate his mentor Yu Qian-" Cao Shaoqin shook his hand, "Outside the garrison pass, plotting to rebel, Ming'er pulled him out of the noon gate and beheaded him!" ”

Everyone bowed together: "The governor is wise!" ”

Outside the noon gate, Chang Yanxiao held the holy decree in his hand and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Yang Yuxuan, a scholar of the cabinet of the Ministry of Officers and Soldiers, is outside the border and plots to rebel, and the emperor has an edict to behead and execute at noon. ”

The long wind hunts, and the flag covers the sky.

Cao Shaoqin stood up and muttered: "Yang Yuxuan is just a scholar who has no enthusiasm and can't use his brain, I want as many people as I want, and it's not a pity to die." I heard that Yang Yuxuan has a proud protégé called-"

"-- Zhou Huai'an." Lu Xiaochuan picked it up.

"Yes, Zhou Huai'an!" Cao Shaoqin thought thoughtfully, "In the first battle of Nankou back then, he broke the 20,000 cavalry with only 7,000 people, which should not be underestimated!" ”

Jia Ting said: "Zhou Huai'an has a very high prestige in the south of the Lianghuai River, and he also has many contacts with people in the rivers and lakes, and he has bad intentions. ”

Cao Shaoqin laughed: "Draw out Zhou Huai'an and clear the remnants of the party-well, good idea!" Ogawa, what do you say? ”

"Governor Mingjian!" Lu Xiaochuan said, "I have a plan, I will definitely let Yu Dang show up and kill Zhou Huai'an." ”

"Say—"

"Cut Yang Yuxuan all over the house, leaving his pair of children as bait, and sending them outside the autumn. In the name of hunting, the black cavalry team will go out of Beijing to track, and they will definitely be able to attract Zhou Huai'an and cut the grass and eradicate the roots! ”

"Good~!" Cao Shaoqin stroked his palm and said, "Zhou Huai'an, hahahaha~~!" ”

In the Dragon Gate Inn, no one paid attention to the three people who were hiding under the black robes of the hats, because there were few people who came here, except for those wicked people who often haunted the desert of the Central Plains, the rest of the people hid themselves very deeply.

"Huh?" The sharp eyes of one of the three swept over the crowd and stopped at Si Nian's body. His eyes narrowed, and he said to the other two in a low voice: "That person is handsome, but Zhou Huai'an is depicted on the drawings?" ”

One person immediately shook his right hand placed under the table, and a drawing slipped out of his sleeve, and then he looked at it carefully and said in a low voice: "No." ”

"What about the man?" The suspicious man looked away and glanced at the other table.

"It's not."

"There is no such person as Zhou Huai'an?" The man frowned slightly.

"Nope." The man with the drawing in his hand said lightly.

"Since there isn't, then who let us surround this inn!?" The man was grumpy and began to get angry.

"It's Jia stall head, do you have any opinions?" The man who had been sitting just drinking water put down the water glass in his hand and looked at him and asked lightly.
