In front of the Hanzhang Palace, Xie Guifei was standing under the cherry blossom tree, enjoying the flowers happily, and the female Shi He Shaoyan hurriedly walked over and said: "Niangniang, the slave maid heard that the hussar general just went to the Shiqian Palace to ask His Majesty for a decree, and went to Xie Yu's tomb to open the coffin for an autopsy." ”

Concubine Xie had clearly heard these words, but now she didn't seem to have heard them, she just carefully folded off a cherry blossom, sent it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently, and then spoke and asked, "Is the news reliable?" ”

"Reliable," He Shaoyan thought for a while, and then said: "At that time, the county lord of Shanyin was also in the Shiqian Palace, and I heard that ...... She followed along. ”

"And the result?" Xie Guifei said, she was about to put down the cherry blossoms in her hand, and the palace maid who was standing aside and waiting saw the situation, hurriedly walked over, stretched out her hands and held the cherry blossoms she was about to throw away.

He Nushi replied: "They have only been there for a long time, how to deal with it, His Royal Highness has not passed the word yet, but a few days ago, Niangniang had sent someone to do something in Xie Yu's coffin, and this result seems to be conceivable." ”

"Hmph," Concubine Xie sneered gloomily, then turned around and walked towards the hall, and said jokingly as if no one was around: "King Wuling's side, if you want to frame Xie Zheng is Yanghou, then this palace naturally wants to help him, who is called Xie Zheng is also a thorn in the eye of this palace." ”

In the first few days of the month, there was a palace maid in Hanzhang Palace, who overheard Xiao Ye and Luo Shuyi discussing in Hualin Garden, wanting to open Xie Yu's coffin, accusing Xie Zheng of actually being Xie Yu's fake, and finding someone to spread rumors and criticize the matter.

This matter was reported to Xie Guifei, and it happened that Xie Guifei learned that Cheng Yu's case was actually designed by Xie Zheng, and when she heard that Xiao Ye wanted to design and frame Xie Zheng, she naturally wanted to secretly add a handful of firewood.

Concubine Xie pondered for a few days and decided to take the risk of doing something in Xie Yu's coffin, so in the name of caring for the younger generations, she sent two people to remove grass from Xie Yu's tomb, and then rushed to a rainy night, and instructed Xiao Ying to instruct a few people to dig Xie Yu's tomb, remove and burn Xie Yu's bones in the coffin, and leave an empty coffin inside.

In addition, Xiao Ye painstakingly arranged for people to spread rumors, saying that Xie Yu did not die at all, but impersonated the identity of Xie Zheng and returned to Jiankang to take revenge.

This comes and goes, and it is natural for people to believe that it is true.

He Nushi said with a smile: "Don't worry, the slave maid has already sent someone to inform His Highness to watch the play, and at this time, His Royal Highness must have set off." ”

When Concubine Xie heard this, she let out a sneer again, she was in a good mood today, and she became very kind to her subordinates, only to see her looking at He Nushi happily, and said with satisfaction: "Shaoyan, this palace really didn't misunderstand you." ”

He Nushi lowered her head and said happily: "It's still thanks to Niangniang's cultivation." ”

Far away in the cemetery on the outskirts of the city, Shen Youzhi was aggressive, Xie Zheng was still calm, and when she heard Shen Youzhi ask her to explain, she just smiled lightly and said, "General Shen wants to hear how I explain why this coffin is empty?" Or is it an explanation of why I am innocent and am still being framed in this way? ”

Shen Youzhi smiled contemptuously, stretched out his hand and pointed to the coffin, and said: "The county lord is reasonable, no matter how you explain it, this coffin is always empty, it seems that the rumors in the market are not completely unbelievable, after all, there is no wind and no waves." ”

"What does General Shen mean by this, since you believe the rumors, don't you want to frame me with those ignorant people?" When Xie Zheng spoke, his face did not change, and he was not shocked.

Shen Yuzhi didn't think so, and said nonchalantly: "Now, the identity of the county lord is indeed doubtful, and the old man believes in the rumors, which is human nature, how can he deliberately frame him?" County Lord, you're really serious. ”

Xie Zheng seemed to be smiling, "I don't see Xie Yu's body in this coffin, I'm Xie Yu?" General Shen, I think you are old and confused, the Xie Yu you mentioned, she died four years ago, not to mention that people can't be resurrected after death, even if there are exceptions, then Xie Yu can't survive. ”

When she said this, she turned her back to Shen Yuzhi, paced by herself, and then said: "I heard that Xie Yu was killed by heart, General Shen thinks that if people have no heart, do they still have a life?" ”

Xie Zheng opened a sharp mouth, Shen Yuzhi couldn't argue with her, he simply stopped arguing with her, and said bluntly: "County lord...... Oh no, it's Xie Yanghou, now that it's over, you still have to stop quibbling, obediently confess your guilt, and maybe you can leave a whole corpse. ”

"Yes, you confess your sin!"

"Anti-thief, why don't you catch it quickly?"

The onlookers and the two so-called scholars stood behind, and when they heard Shen Youzhi's words, they shouted noisily.

Xie Zheng suppressed the fire in her belly, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then opened her eyes again, and exhaled a long breath, she couldn't suppress the fire after all, she turned around and turned to Shen Youzhi, stretched out her hand to him, and reprimanded: "I was born in the Xie family, and even His Majesty has no objection to this identity, but now General Shen wants to make irresponsible remarks, is General Shen doubting His Majesty's decision!" ”

Shen Youzhi squinted his eyes, squinted at Xie Zheng, and said: "The old man remembered that you were the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and he had already given you enough face, but not only did you not appreciate it, but you also spoke ill of you!" Good! Since this is the case, then don't blame the old man for not remembering the old love! ”

As soon as he said that, he immediately instructed his subordinates: "Come on, take down this thief for the old man!" ”

"I see who dares!" Xie Zheng shouted loudly, and he was shocked by the dozen or so steps that were already about to surround her.

Seeing the trilogy coming up, Yuzhi immediately clenched his fists and made a posture of wanting to kill.

Xie Zheng looked at Shen Yuzhi angrily, showed no weakness, and said: "I am the county lord of Shanyin who was canonized by His Majesty personally, and I have my own judgment on right and wrong!" General Shen, you can doubt me, but you are not qualified to dispose of me! ”

Since Shen Youzhi had a backer behind him, he was naturally unscrupulous, so he ignored Xie Zheng and gave an order: "Take her down and execute her on the spot!" ”

"You dare!" Xie Zheng scolded angrily, and before the words fell, he suddenly heard a scolding not far away: "Stop!" ”

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that it was Huan Ling and Zeng Qionglin who rode horses one after another, and behind the two, there were dozens of Hou Mansions.

When the master and servant turned over and dismounted, the dozens of tribes behind them quickly divided into two teams, one team spread along the entire tomb and surrounded everyone, and the other team rushed over to surround the Shen Mansion tribe that surrounded Xie Zheng and Yuzhi.

"County marquis?" Xie Zheng couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Huan Ling coming.

At that time, Huan Ling had already walked to Xie Zheng's side, frowned and carefully examined Xie Zheng from head to toe, and then asked anxiously, "Are you okay?" Did they hurt you? ”

Xie Zheng naturally didn't care about answering him, but lowered his voice and asked, "How does the county marquis know that I am in trouble?" Found it here. ”

Huan Ling replied: "It was Wu Xiao (Yuzhi's downline, who participated in the case of Zhang Gou and Zhou Xuyi) told me, he said that he was eating at the Vermilion Bird Tower at the gate of the city, and saw Shen Yuzhi following the ox cart of the Hou Mansion out of the city, and he was suspicious, so he came over to take a look, saw that something happened to you, and hurried to the Hou Mansion to inform me." ”

Xie Zheng was very relieved in his heart, and said with a sneer: "The county marquis is not afraid of getting into trouble if he moves the people like this. ”

"I don't care about any trouble, I only care about your safety," Huan Ling said, becoming softer and softer, and he also seemed extremely warm.

The two of them only said three or two sentences, and Shen Yuzhi was already tired of seeing it, he walked up to him, and said in a strange way: "What does the Marquis of Yongxiu County mean?" ”

Shen Youyi's words interrupted Huan Ling's thoughts, Huan Ling was already annoyed, but now he was even more displeased, and said to Shen Yu disdainfully: "General Shen, when you see Ben Hou, it's just a matter of not bowing your head and saluting, Ben Hou respects you and doesn't care about you, but when you speak, you always have to be polite." ”

was reprimanded by Huan Ling, a descendant, although Shen Yuzhi was unwilling, he had to bow his head to him.

Huan Ling said at this time: "The Hou Mansion has not practiced for a long time, and it is really lazy, this Hou took them to the Stone Mountain to carry out activities, and by the way, they came here to worship Xie Kanggong, but they ran into someone who was disrespectful to the county lord of Shanyin, and threatened to execute her, so they came to join in the fun." ”

Shen Youzhi was very embarrassed, and sneered: "The county marquis must have misunderstood, it's not that the lower officials are disrespectful to the county lord of Shanyin, but ...... It's that she has no king's law and despises the emperor's authority, and the county marquis knows that the county lord of Shanyin next to you is actually Xie Yu, the rebel who colluded with the Northern Wei Dynasty and collaborated with the enemy and treason. ”

He knew that the relationship between Huan Ling and Xie Zheng was extraordinary, and now the laborers rushed over to rescue Xie Zheng.

He also knew that no matter how much he explained it now, he seemed very pale and powerless, and he was inferior in the end, and he could only be trampled under his feet.

"Oh?" Huan Ling laughed and said: "The county lord of Shanyin lives in Benhou's mansion, she is the sister of an old friend of Benhou, and she was also brought to Jiankang by Benhou himself, her identity, this king couldn't be clearer, why, General Shen has objections?" ”

Huan Ling finished speaking, and before Shen Yuzhi could reply, one of the two scholars who were stopped by the Shen family's subordinates shouted: "You are in the same group as her!" You're in league with her! ”

The other also chimed in: "Yes! You're her accomplice! You're her accomplice! ”

The voice fell, and the onlookers behind also shouted: "Accomplices! Partner! Partner! ”

Huan Ling was not as patient as Xie Zheng, and when he heard this, he immediately drew his sword and flew towards the scholar who spoke first.

The man was so frightened that he didn't even dare to hide, and the sword flew and pierced the scarf above his head impartially, and cut off the bun that was tied around his skull.

The scholars were so frightened that they peed their pants, and the onlookers didn't dare to say anything more when they saw that Huan Ling was so ruthless.

Zeng Qionglin saw that the scholar was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, so he hurriedly walked to retrieve the sword and handed it to Huan Ling, who only held the sword in his hand and did not retract it into the scabbard.

Shen Yuzhi saw Huan Ling like this, and knew that he was giving himself a horse, so he couldn't help but feel a little stunned, he said: "The county marquis doesn't know, now there are rumors in the streets, all say that the county lord of Shanyin is the anti-thief Xie Yu impostor, and also wrote a petition for the people, and played it to His Majesty, asking for a strict investigation of the identity of the county lord of Shanyin, and the lower officials were ordered by His Majesty to open the coffin and examine the autopsy, but there was no anti-thief corpse in the coffin, which is not exactly what the rumors pointed to?" ”

"Hmph," Huan Ling sneered: "Ben Hou sees that General Shen is old, and he doesn't even use his brain, and Xie Yu's corpse is gone, what can this prove?" Bao Buqi was someone who deliberately removed Xie Yu's body, wanting to frame the county lord of Shanyin. Again, it is rumored that the county lord of Shanyin was impersonated by Xie Yu, so she was impersonated by Xie Yu? If the rumor said that General Shen privately recruited troops and bought horses with the intention of rebellion, did General Shen really have a rebellion? ”

"You!" Shen Youzhi was so angry that his face turned pale, and he stretched out his hand to point at Huan Ling, but he didn't dare to say more after all, so he put his hand down again, and only scolded Huan Ling in his heart.

Huan Ling didn't pay attention to him, he turned sideways to the onlookers, and said, "Can there be such a thing as resurrection from the dead in the world?" If so, then Ben Hou will rip General Shen's heart to see if he can still stand here safe and sound! ”

When Shen Yuzhi heard this, he was not so timid, he was confident that he brought troops today, even if Huan Ling dared to speak out to humiliate him, but he did not dare to move him easily, he said with a straight face: "Xia Guan Yuan doesn't want to be disrespectful to the county lord of Shanyin, but this is all Your Majesty's meaning, it is Your Majesty's ......"

Before Shen Yuzhi finished speaking, Huan Ling interrupted and reprimanded: "Your Majesty ordered you to open the coffin for an autopsy?" Or do you want to execute the county lord of San'in on the spot? General Shen, you are so bold! ”

Shen Yuzhi was so oppressed by Huan Ling, he was naturally unwilling in his heart, and he was also quite tough now, and said bluntly: "It is necessary to cut first and then play." ”

Huan Ling's face sank, and he immediately waved his sword against Shen Youzhi's hand, and said: "If you dare to move Deyin's finger, I will chop off your hand, and if you dare to hurt Deyin, then I will take off your head!" At this point, he swung his sword on Shen Youzhi's shoulder, approaching the head, and then said: "Huan is a first-class marquis, and if you want to deal with a small hussar general, you still have this right." ”

Seeing the situation, the Shen family's troops raised their spears and pointed at Huan Ling, and the Hou Mansion's troops were also preparing for war.

Shen Yuzhi was not afraid of danger at the moment, he just showed a smirk at Huan Ling, and then raised his hand unhurriedly, signaling his subordinates to put down their spears.

Seeing that Shen Yuzhi had already given in, Huan Ling slowly put down his sword and retracted the sword into the scabbard like a cloud.

Zeng Qionglin also raised his hand and motioned to the Hou Mansion and the subordinates to put down their blades.

Shen Yuzhi smiled and said to Huan Ling: "Since this is the case, it is better to see you in front of us." ”

Huan Ling replied lightly: "Okay, then the holy car will come and see you." ”

The two sides were about to leave, but Xie Zheng suddenly said, "Slow! ”

Xie Zheng pointed to the dug up tomb and said, "This scene, someone must guard it, who knows if there will be people with bad intentions who will come to do it again." ”

Huan Ling looked back, looked at the coffin from afar, thoughtful.

When he rescued Xie Yu, he didn't worry about whether something would happen in the future, so before he was ready to save Xie Yu, he had already asked Zeng Qionglin to find a female corpse, and he also watched Qionglin put the nameless female corpse into the coffin.

Now that the coffin is opened again, the coffin is empty, which is obviously Shen Yuzhi removed the female corpse early in order to design Xie Zheng.
