Mo Linglan looked at Xiao Mian's bruised tendons on his forehead, obviously angry, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Before, he vaguely felt that the people who set up a bureau in the fishing village were too familiar with Qiwen Mansion and them, but at that time, he only thought it was a coincidence, and he might even have learned about Qiwen Mansion in advance.

But if Tu Qiye is also involved, and there is a problem with the Xiao family, then the water in it will be deep.

Jingzhong ......

I'm afraid it's not that clean anymore.

After Xiao Mian knew what to expect, he didn't stop Mo Linglan anymore, but just asked, "When are you leaving?" ”

"The sooner the better."

Mo Linglan said, "It's been a few days since King Rui sent a message out of Beijing, and I don't know if there have been any new changes in the past few days. ”

"I'll leave directly later, I'll explain to Xuan Longan here in Jingnan, and my eldest brother will also stay, and they will take care of it."

Xiao Mian said: "I will find out about the gunpowder as soon as possible, and then go to Beijing to help you." ”

Mo Linglan didn't shirk this time, only nodded and said, "Okay, be careful." ”

After the two talked for a while, Mo Linglan turned around and was about to go out to pack up, and when he arrived at the door, Xiao Mian suddenly stopped him: "Oh yes, those rumors outside are about Su Ruan's father." ”

Mo Linglan turned around: "Huh? ”

Xiao Mian said in a low voice: "It's true." ”

Mo Linglan's eyes were slightly startled.

Xiao Mian said: "When I came back by boat with Zirong and them before, those people in Jingnan said that the reason why they would first confront the people from the government was because someone told them about it. ”

"I originally thought that someone deliberately slandered the reputation of Lord Su, and also scolded those people, but then Su Ruan stopped me, saying that her father did kill those soldiers who defended the city, just because those people were infected with the epidemic at that time, and Xie Yuan's excerpts sent to Beijing for help were all lost in the sea."

"There is no one to treat them, the epidemic is spreading, if they are kept, they will not be able to keep Jingzhou, so Su Da took the lives of those people, and he didn't want to survive afterwards, so he used his body as bait to go out of the city to lure the enemy, and finally died at the hands of Xie Yuan."

Mo Linglan's expression was sudden, he had already guessed when he knew about it, and now after hearing that Xiao Mian had confirmed it, he couldn't help but feel complicated in his heart.

Xiao Mian said: "When they were on the boat that day, Zirong and Su Ruan said that the matter of the fishing village was probably just the beginning, and there would be people who would take advantage of Lord Su's affairs to cause chaos in the future, but I didn't care at the time. ”

"If I had been careful, I wouldn't have happened later."

Mo Linglan saw Xiao Mian talking and talking, his eyes were a little red, and he couldn't help but say, "I can't blame you for this." ”

"Who would have thought that those people would be so frustrated, and who would have thought that they would be so unscrupulous in order to take the lives of Zirong and Su Ruan, since they brought the black fire, they have gone to great lengths to do so many things."

"Even if they can't do it on the dock, the post house, the government office, and even the downtown in the city can become a place for them to start."

And if so many black fires really ignited in the city, how many people would be killed or injured not only the hundreds of people on the dock? And if they are all in the city, no one will notice, I am afraid that there will not even be a chance of survival.

Xiao Mian listened to Mo Linglan's words, and couldn't help but slam the edge of the bed, "Don't tell me to live with someone who does it!" ”

Otherwise, he would have slashed him with a thousand knives!

Mo Linglan's eyes were also full of gloom, and he hated the person who did it.

……

Mo Linglan was in a hurry when he left Jingnan, he only brought a few guards, and the group quietly went out of the city, except for Xuan Longan and Xiao Mian, as well as the eldest brother of the Xiao family, no one knew when he left.

When the people in Jingnan found out that Crepe Longan had begun to take over the affairs of the government again, dispatched officers and soldiers, and even began to evacuate the rumors, the outside world knew that Crepe Longan had actually survived the explosion.

With the presence of Xuan Longan, the people of Jingnan, who had been guessing endlessly, finally calmed down, but the death of the soldiers defending the city, the explosion on the dock, and the people who died in it still make people suspicious.

The situation outside is difficult to control, and there is a faint dark tide surging, and Crean Longan sees that the situation is developing in the worst direction that Mo Linglan said, and he also vaguely senses that someone is fishing in troubled waters, intending to mess up the entire Jingzhou.

He took the last bit of luck and only tried his best to pacify the city, while he himself stayed in the government under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries, but secretly went out of the city quietly through a secret passage that no one knew about in the palace......

……

The situation in Beijing is also not good, the East Palace is full of imperial doctors, and the outside is all guarded by the forbidden army, and the news inside cannot be transmitted at all, and the people outside can only know from the ugly face of Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty that the situation of the prince is probably really bad.

Several princes in Beijing are ready to move, and the eldest prince who had fallen out of favor with the Cao family has regained again, and several other adult princes are not to be outdone, and they continue to make small moves in secret, and even many of them have begun to secretly enter and exit the mansions of major courtiers.

The originally illustrious Marquis of Xuanping was besieged by heavy troops, and no one could enter or leave, and Xie Qingheng, who had been imprisoned before, was not allowed to be visited by anyone, and he did not know his life or death.

The atmosphere in the whole of Beijing became tense.

And as time passed, the explosion in Jingnan returned to the capital with the news of the death of Qi Wenfu and Su Ruan, and at the same time as the Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar, those rumors in Jingnan also began to spread in Beijing, casting a deeper shadow on the already unstable Beijing.

The storm is coming, and everyone's hearts are uneasy.

Five days later, the crown prince died.

Under the grief of Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, the Xie family was thrown into prison, and the people who were ordered to raid the Xuanping Marquis Mansion not only found out Xie Yuan's correspondence with Su Xuanmin in his early years, but also colluded with the Southern Wei Dynasty to exchange letters, which contained evidence that Xie Yuan was dissatisfied with Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty gradually retracting the military power in his hands and intended to rebel.

But what is uproaring is that in addition to these people, there are actually people who have unearthed Xie Yuan's hidden in the secret room, and those evidence that the Xie family helped Emperor Ming Xuan to murder the former prince that had already been yellowed and even had a lot of damage.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty sensed that something was wrong and wanted to hide it, but it was too late, the affairs of the Xie family seemed to have become the switch that opened the valve of the embankment, all bad things followed, and the situation in the entire Dachen was developing in an unpredictable direction.

First of all, rumors spread in Beijing, implicitly pointing out that Emperor Xuan's throne was not right, and some people in Fengfu used the name of the first emperor Yuan and later bloodlines to weigh the situation and persecute the courtiers during the natural disaster in Jingnan, and connived at the prince to delay the disaster, resulting in the death of hundreds of people in Jingnan on the grounds of sending a document.

Among them, not only did he count the culpability of Emperor Xuan, but also counted his actions of murdering his own brother since the prince, killing the first prince, forcibly seizing the imperial power and forcing the first emperor to death, and after ascending the throne, he did not think that the people were not diligent in the government, but he was incompetent, tyrannical and unkind, and brutalized the courtiers.

The text spread all over the world, all the major state capitals, and the hundreds of thousands of troops that suddenly appeared forcibly occupied the three states with the power of destruction and decay, and approached the capital......
