In the dim woods, the night wind swept through the branches, whistling from one side of the forest to the other.

Cold, oozing.

In the distance, someone hid behind the slope and watched as the people in the forest carried something out.

"Master, do you want to ......?"

Before the people below finished speaking, the man at the head had already raised his hand, in the darkness, he was dressed in black and masked, his cloak was covered, and he couldn't see his true face clearly, only his low and deep voice could be heard, soaked in a terrifying coldness, "No! ”

If you're sure you're dead, that's it!

Seeing the group go away, he was still standing behind the slope, the cold wind blew his clothes and hunting, the wind in this night was so cold, as if even the bones were as cold as needles, it really hurt!

"Master, the man is gone!" The man below spoke in a low voice.

The man straightened his body slightly, as if he was a little out of breath, and he wanted to spit out all the turbidity in his abdomen, and his body shook, if it wasn't for the people around him to quickly hold him, he was afraid that he would fall to the ground.

"Master?" The people below exclaimed.

The man's eyes darkened and pushed him away, "Are you all ready?" ”

"Yes!" The person below responded, "It's just your body, master...... The princess is still in prison, do you want to rescue her together? ”

Rescued?

Scold......

The man sneered, and a cold voice came out of his throat, "Can you take it away?" From the moment she entered the palace, I knew that she had to stay there in order to make the emperor and the queen mother relax, and it turned out that it was right to abandon the car and protect the handsome! ”

"The county lord couldn't save it either!" Said the underneath.

The man turned over and got on his horse, the night was dark, and he looked at the direction of Kyoto City with cold eyes, really thinking that he wanted to save Song Lan?

Oh, ridiculous.

A person who is extremely stupid deserves to die, even if it is his own sister? My father and mother are willing to give up, so what's the big deal if I give up a stinky girl who is usually against me?

Everyone thought that he was either going to Nanyue or Beilan, and he really sent someone to intercept Hu Song Lan in the direction of Beilan, in everyone's opinion, this is indeed a sign of going to Beilan.

But in fact?

He's waiting, waiting for the last opportunity.

The sound of horses' hooves is far away, as if they have embarked on a road of no return, and what is far away is glory, and what is left is despair.

Within the Criminal Department.

"Are you sure it's this body?" The Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the waiter looked at each other, and no one dared to take this idea for a while.

The bloody corpse looks particularly terrifying, but in terms of body shape, it is quite similar, and it is really difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. If it is true, the crime of escaping from the battle is inevitable, if it is false, if it is rash, if it angers the emperor, who can afford it?

"You go to the prime minister!" Shang Shu's face was slightly gloomy, "The sooner the better!" ”

"Good!" The squire hurried to invite the prime minister.

Who is Prime Minister Qi, he is the elder brother of the Empress Dowager of the Dynasty, and the head of a hundred officials, if he makes the decision, if the emperor blames him in the future, it will also be the prime minister, and it will not fall on their heads.

In the middle of the night, Prime Minister Qi was invited to the Criminal Department, looking at the bloody corpse, his eyebrows frowning slightly.

"Although the weather is cold, it is windy, rainy, and sunny, and the rancid smell is inevitable." Shangshu of the Criminal Department sighed, "This dress is not the same as before, but the shape is quite similar. ”

Speaking of which, the waiter of the Criminal Department handed over a thing to the Prime Minister, which was a torn blood handkerchief, "This thing was left by the Marquis of Murong when he left that day, and it was said that it was picked up on the edge of the cliff, and it may be crucial evidence, so it was sent to the Criminal Department together, Prime Minister, you can see ......it."

The blood-stained veil is made of precious material, and it doesn't look like it can be used by ordinary people.

Rubbing the handkerchief in his hand, Qi Chengxiang's face was slightly gloomy, "What about the autopsy results?" ”

"The skull was shattered by an external force, and the brain burst and died!" Shang Shu said in a low voice, "This is not something that ordinary people can do, Rao is a Jianghu person, and it probably takes some effort." ”

Prime Minister Qi looked at the person on the corpse platform, his brows furrowed.

"One palm down, the flesh and blood are blurred, plus it was found at the bottom of the cliff, so the body is not too complete, fortunately hanging on the branches, those wild wolves and wild dogs smell it, but there is nothing to be done!" The Shangshu of the Criminal Department hesitated for a moment, "Prime Minister, look at this ......"

Prime Minister Qi put the veil aside, "It's a big matter, don't spread it!" ”

"Yes!" Shangshu of the Criminal Department hurriedly saluted, "Then let's suppress this matter." ”

Prime Minister Qi nodded, "Press it down first, and then discuss it after the prime minister!" ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

This matter must be reported as soon as possible, Qi Cheng entered the palace at night and entered the emperor's imperial study.

The veil rested on the table, and the blood in the candlelight became more and more intense, like a red plum blooming in the snow, but this plum was a flower in front of the palace of Hades, and the more beautiful it was, the more terrible it was.

"Your Majesty?" Qi Cheng bowed, "Eight or nine is not far from ten!" ”

Of course Song Xuanqing knew, otherwise what would Song Yan run? Coupled with the matter of the white jade sending the son Guanyin, he was even more sure that this corpse should be Song Yunkui, the king of Yan, there is no doubt that this old horseman has bad intentions and is scheming, but it is a pity that the Tao is one foot high and the devil is one foot high, and he can't calculate others...... In the end, it is calculated by others.

"Your Majesty, King Yan appeared outside Kyoto City by fraudulently dying, obviously with a bad intention." Prime Minister Qi sighed, his face was extremely solemn, "No wonder Princess Yan rebelled, and the little prince escaped from Kyoto City, it must have been arranged before to abandon the car and protect the handsome!" ”

Song Xuanqing nodded, his gaze retracted from the blood-stained handkerchief, "I know." ”

"Your Majesty." Prime Minister Qi said again, "The minister thinks that since the Yan Wangfu has been convicted, it will simply fall completely, and he can't be given a chance to turn over." Although Song Yunkui is dead, Song Yan is still absconding, and many remnants of the Yan Wangfu are still ready to move, waiting for Song Yan to make a comeback and the Yanwang Mansion to make a comeback! ”

Song Xuanqing put his hands in front of the case, his eyes were gloomy, "Of course I know the stakes, the Yan Wangfu is intertwined, and the power should not be underestimated, if you want to uproot it, the court will definitely hurt your muscles and bones, so I don't dare to make a drastic move!" ”

"There is a way for the minister, it is feasible!" Prime Minister Qi bowed, "The news of King Yan's death in battle has been kept secret, but there must be people in the court who know about it." The emperor can issue an edict, the crime of rebellion in the Yan Wangfu has been announced to the world, and its crime is unforgivable, but the emperor remembers his merits and gives the Yan King who died in battle a thick burial, and only investigates the responsibility of Princess Yan and the little prince who fled! ”

Song Xuanqing straightened up, "What does the prime minister mean ......?"

"First, King Yan is the royal family after all, if it is investigated, outsiders will think that the emperor does not care about love, and second, King Yan has made great achievements, let's do this to temporarily win people's hearts, so as not to tell the truth and give them an excuse to rebel!" Qi Chengxiang analyzed it carefully.

are all old foxes who have been in the court for decades, who doesn't know how to play and chat?

"Three, just take this opportunity to see clearly, who is the same party as King Yan, and there will be a precaution in the future!" Prime Minister Qi thought for a while, "Your Majesty, what do you think?" ”

Song Xuanqing took a deep breath, "You are my uncle in the end, and I still need you to worry more about it in some aspects." Although Shun has been in power for a long time, he is really inferior to his uncle for those things in private with the Chinese Wu of the DPRK! ”

"The minister is favored by the emperor, and he dare not live up to the king!" Prime Minister Qi Cheng saluted, "The minister is old, and it is a great honor to be able to do something for the emperor!" ”

Song Xuanqing patted Prime Minister Qi on the shoulder, "Uncle is polite, there is no one at the moment, I might as well say something to you." I know that there are many parties in the DPRK and China, and many people are secretly in unison with me...... Among them, the most powerful is the Yan Wang party, so this time, I will get rid of it, and I need to never suffer in the future! ”

Prime Minister Qi knew that his nephew wanted to borrow a knife to kill people!
