The emperor was in a good mood today, thanks to the painting that Chu Lan brought him to appreciate, he liked it very much. Chu Lan also said very tactfully: "Father, if you like it, my son will give it to you." The emperor happily accepted it and smiled.

Hearing that Chu Chen and the other three were coming, the emperor's eyes did not leave the painting, and he happily touched and looked at it, and without thinking much about it, he ordered Gonggong Zhang to call the three of them in.

After Chu Chen and the others came in, they saluted the emperor and didn't speak first for a while.

The waiter of the Criminal Department and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple were waiting for Chu Chen to say first, but Chu Chen was eyes fell on the painting on the table, secretly thinking that King Jing would really grasp His Majesty's mind and do what he liked, this fox, Chu Yan knew that he was so good at pretending to be calculating?

After the emperor waved his hand and asked the three of them to be exempt, he waited for a while, and did not hear the three speak, so he took his eyes off the scroll, coughed, and ordered Gonggong Zhang, "Put this painting away first." ”

Father-in-law Zhang carefully put away the painting, knowing that His Majesty was probably going to appreciate it slowly, so he did not put it in His Majesty's private treasury, but directly opened the drawer under the table and put it in a position where His Majesty could take it out and appreciate it at any time.

When the emperor saw it, he felt that Gonggong Zhang was very caring and satisfied, and he was worthy of serving the people around him for many years. He asked the three of them, "Su Han's interception and murder case, but has there been progress?" ”

The three nodded in unison.

The emperor looked at the faces of the three of them and frowned, "What? What's the tricky thing? ”

The squire of the Criminal Department and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple looked at Chu Chen.

Chu Chen took out a flowery confession from his sleeve and presented it to the emperor, "Su Shizi's interception and murder case was done by the Jianghu killer organization Night Primrose, and Night Fragrance was instructed by Shilibao, and Shilibao was ......."

Chu Chen paused deliberately, "Your Majesty, see for yourself." ”

The emperor frowned and took the confession, "Jianghu killer organization? What is Ten Mile Fort? ”

"It's the green forest force on the rivers and lakes."

The emperor snorted coldly, he didn't have a good impression of the forces in the rivers and lakes, but he also knew that it was not only as simple as the forces in the rivers and lakes that the three of them could find him like this, he looked down at the confession of Hua Ruyu, looked at it, and his face gradually turned angry and angry.

The confession signed by Hua Ruyu was written clearly and clearly, and how the Fang family and the six princes instructed and so on was written in great detail, and even more so, what they had done in the past ten years was also revealed.

After reading the confession, the emperor slapped the confession on the jade case, "Come on!" Passed on the Imperial Forest Army Zhao Yan. ”

"Yes!"

Not long after, Zhao Yan, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, entered the south study.

The emperor's face was already very blue, "Zhao Yan, you take three thousand imperial forest troops, seal the Six Princes' Mansion for me, and escort the Six Princes to the South Study, and the rest of the people in the mansion are not allowed to let me out." ”

Zhao Yan was shocked, "Yes!" ”

Compared with the second prince, the emperor escorted the six princes to him, giving him a chance to face the saint and appeal.

Zhao Yan walked out of the south study and hurriedly walked out, and was stopped by King Jing, who was waiting outside to explore the situation inside and hadn't left yet, "Commander Zhao, what did your father call you?" ”

Zhao Yan paused, glanced at King Jing, whether to offend King Jing and not speak, or to tell the truth, he weighed and pondered for a while, and felt that the news was estimated to spread soon, and he couldn't hide it, so he lowered his voice and told the truth, "Returning to His Royal Highness the King, Your Majesty ordered the ministers to take the six princes." ”

King Jing understood, it seemed that his sixth brother had committed the incident, he nodded, and didn't ask any more,

"Commander Zhao, hurry up."

Zhao Yan ordered three thousand imperial forest troops, hurriedly left the palace, and went to the Six Princes' Mansion.

After the emperor gave an order to Zhao Yan, he gave another order to Chu Chen, "Chu Chen, I will transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses from the Xishan camp for you, and you will control the Fang family for me, and you must not let anyone in the Fang family go." ”

"Yes." Chu Chen took the order.

"After you control the Fang family, don't do it first, wait for my will."

"Yes!"

The emperor waved his hand, Chu Chen took the holy decree and went immediately.

The emperor glanced at the squire of the Criminal Department and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and asked with a blue face, "Regarding the forces in the rivers and lakes, the Shilibao and Night Primrose mentioned above, who do you two think should be sent to exterminate them?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and the squire of the criminal department spoke, "The forces that can gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes and dominate one side should not be underestimated...... Seeing that the emperor's face was even more ugly, he paused and immediately changed his words, "But the forces in the rivers and lakes, no matter how powerful they are, are not as good as the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, Your Majesty will make a holy decree and let the local government send troops to suppress bandits." ”

The emperor said angrily, "I'm afraid that the local government is not clean, and in collusion with the forces of the rivers and lakes, the six princes of Youzhen are backers in the capital, and they have woven a big net." ”

The squire of the criminal department shut up.

Shaoqing of Dali Temple hesitated for a moment and spoke, "Since ancient times, the imperial court will balance the forces of the rivers and lakes, not let it become bigger, and the imperial court will use soldiers and horses to exterminate the forces of the rivers and lakes, this matter is not difficult, but sometimes, it is also necessary to use strategy, I am afraid that if one is not good, it will suffer heavy losses. ”

"Hmm." The emperor listened to this, paced twice, and ordered, "Zhang De, you let Gu Qingyan enter the palace immediately." ”

"Yes." Gonggong Zhang immediately ordered to go down.

After Chu Chen left, Gu Qingyan instructed Qingmo, "Send someone to send a message to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, let people keep an eye on the prison of the Criminal Department, the woman who was just sent, if the sixth prince gets the letter, it is impossible not to move." The evidence was sent to His Majesty, but if the people of the Six Princes did it to the criminals in the prison of the Criminal Department and were caught on the spot, it would be a good show. ”

Qingmo should be.

Sure enough, as Gu Qingyan expected, the sixth prince was in the mansion at this time, and he had just received the news that Chu Chen had arrested a criminal and sent him to the Criminal Department and put him in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the criminal was a woman, who seemed to be called Hua Ruyu.

The sixth prince was very frightened and frightened, and he immediately ordered people, "Find a way to kill that woman." ”

He didn't need the exact news, no matter whether the news was accurate or not, whether Chu Chen really caught Hua Ruyu of Shili Fort, he didn't care, he was just afraid that if it was true, Hua Ruyu shook out the things that he and the Fang family did behind their backs, and it was enough for him to finish playing. Therefore, he had to kill Hua Yiyu before the interrogation of the criminal department and make her shut up forever.

But as soon as his people were sent out, before the results were returned, Zhao Yan arrived with the Imperial Forest Army.

The sixth prince sat on the ground with his buttocks all of a sudden, and said to the staff next to him with a pale face, "It's over, it's over......"

His father, although he was suspicious, never acted lightly, and now if he hadn't seen the evidence, he wouldn't have sent the Imperial Forest Army to detain him.

The staff was also very frightened, and they were also very masterless, the incident happened too quickly, they thought that everything was in the plan, but they didn't expect that none of the planned things were done, they didn't kill Su Han, and they didn't receive the news that An Huajin was killed in the south, let alone the news of the Nanyang military rebellion, but now they are waiting for the news that Hua Ruyu has entered the prison of the Criminal Department, and the Royal Forest Army has sealed the Six Princes' Mansion.

What to do...... What to do......

The people of the Six Princes' Mansion were panicked all of a sudden, but no one knew what to do.

In particular, Zhao Yan came quickly, and soon led people to break into the study of the six princes, and he saw the six princes sitting on the ground, but he was also very respectful, "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty, please!" ”

The sixth prince's face was bloodless, his legs were weak and his feet were weak and he couldn't stand up, he looked at Zhao Yan with shaking hands, "Father wants to see me?" It's as dark as it is today, why? ”

Zhao Yan looked at the Sixth Prince, and his heart was quite indescribable, ambition and courage could not be related, he shook his head, "I don't know about the humble position, Your Majesty ordered, please ask the Sixth Highness to go to the South Study immediately." ”

The sixth prince is really afraid that he will never come back, his good father, the emperor, has many sons, and if he dies one or two, he will just be angry and hurt for a while. For example, the second prince, everyone knows that he was given death by his father, but he said that he died violently, and his father loved the second prince so much, not to mention that he, who was not favored, was afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of the second prince.

He trembled for a long time and didn't stand up, but in the end, Zhao Yan couldn't look at it, and with a glance behind him, two soldiers of the Royal Forest Army stepped forward, one left and one right, erected the Six Princes, and pressed out of the Six Princes' Mansion.

The people of the Six Princes' Mansion waited for a while, and after this sudden change, the cry shook the sky for a while.

The six princes were soon escorted into the palace by Zhao Yan and came to the south study. Before he could kneel, the emperor smashed the inkstone on the table on his head, "Son! I'm not dead yet, do you want to rebel? ”

The sixth prince is not as blessed as Chu Yan, and he can be knocked open by Father-in-law Zhang, and suddenly a bloody hole in his head was smashed, his body shook, and he fell to the ground.
