Chapter 434: The Emperor Summons
"Who are you, don't make noise at the city gate, hurry up and let me go!" When the guard at the head saw them, he waved his hand with great displeasure, his eyes full of disgust.
"My master and I encountered an attack by a group of black-clothed people outside the city, and now we are all seriously injured, please send someone to inform the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince, the master is seriously injured, I'm afraid he won't last long!"
They followed the rhetoric that Xiao Hanyin had made up before, wanting to test their reactions.
"Who is your master?" When the man heard his words, his eyes changed slightly.
"My master is Lord Xiao of the Ministry of War, if you are willing to help, we will be grateful!" He continued.
"Come on, arrest them all, it's such a big night, you dare to come to the city gate to cheat!" When that man heard Xiao Hanyin's name, he deliberately slandered them as liars and wanted to control them.
Since Xiao Hanyin is going to die, these people can't let go.
If there were no reinforcements rushing over, Xiao Hanyin might not be able to hold out for long, and he wouldn't be able to.
However, this kind of mind naturally cannot be known to outsiders, so he deliberately listed the charges and wanted to directly ask for the lives of Xiao Hanyin's subordinates.
So no one knows what happened here.
After all, all the truth is known only to a few of them......
"We're not liars, what exactly do you want to do?" Xiao Hanyin's subordinates asked with angry faces.
"Whether it's a liar or not, I've got the final say, you'd better be honest with me, otherwise I'll make you head in a different place immediately!" He directly ordered people, tied up all three of them, and prepared to quietly take them out of the city after a while.
This is the gate of the city, and it is not easy to dispose of the corpses of the dead.
What's more, if they are recognized as Xiao Hanyin's subordinates, some things will be leaked.
None of them were willing to take risks, so they chose a relatively safe approach.
"Despicable villain, when our master gets out of trouble, he must make you look good!" They struggled to escape, but they were tied tighter.
Xiao Hanyin waited not far outside the city, and when he saw that his people had not come back for a long time, he had an answer in his heart.
Those people are likely to be in the same group as the killer just now, and the purpose is to kill him.
However, their wishful thinking is destined to come to naught.
Not only will he return alive, but he will also reveal his true colors and make him pay.
It turned out that Xiao Hanyin had already discovered from the clues just now who the person who wanted his life was.
This time, he went to the border to crush the second prince, wanting to provoke a war between the two dynasties, and finally the fisherman profited.
Xiao Hanyin designed to find out the spies, and at the same time captured one of the second prince's previous henchmen.
Although this person has not spoken, Xiao Hanyin is sure that he must know a lot of secrets about the second prince, and he has his trust.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried his best to kill himself.
The second prince was obviously afraid that Xiao Hanyin would hand over the evidence he found to the emperor.
Although he is now the king of Liang, these things have always been decided by the emperor.
Once his charge of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is confirmed, the emperor will not be the first to spare him.
So in order to cover up their crimes, Xiao Hanyin and his men must die.
In fact, the second prince did this for another purpose, that is, to kill the henchman who was captured by Xiao Hanyin.
For now, what he did was already impossible to hide, but as long as they had no evidence, they could delay it for a while......
At that time, Xiao Hanyin will be busy in vain, how can he be as smart as he would be willing to let them go.
After Xiao Hanyin guessed the identities of those guards, he dispelled the idea of returning to the city immediately.
There is danger around him, and if he goes back, he will also bring danger to Liu Qingshao.
Not only that, but he didn't have any evidence at the moment to reveal the true identities of those guards, and he would inevitably be blocked by those people if he wanted to enter.
After thinking about it, Xiao Han decided to stay in an inn under Liu Qingshao temporarily.
Not far outside the city, there is a small town where they have a business.
In the past, when they didn't plan to go to the Imperial City to do business, they ordered people to come here and open a few shops.
Subsequently, Liu Qingshao came to the imperial city to look for him, and opened an inn in the town.
The imperial city is prosperous, and there are too many people coming and going, and some people who don't have time to enter the city will live in that town.
After Xiao Han stayed in hiding, he immediately ordered someone to send a letter to Liu Qingshao to report his safety.
He guessed that Liu Qingshao must still be waiting anxiously in the mansion at the moment, Xiao Hanyin didn't want her to hurt herself because of this.
When Liu Qingshao received the news, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she had been worried that the people she had sent over would not be able to arrive in time to help Xiao Hanyin.
Now, knowing that he is safe and sound, Liu Qingshao's heart has finally let go.
She had been waiting for more than two months, expecting to see him soon, but she had to wait a few more days.
However, Liu Qingshao was not sad at all......
Waiting for a few days in exchange for Xiao Hanyin's peace, Liu Qingshao feels that it is worth it!
The next day, Liu Qingshao wanted to sneak out of the city dressed as a man to find Xiao Hanyin.
As a result, before she could do it, she received a message from the crown prince and the emperor.
Liu Qingshao had no choice but to give up the decision to go to see Xiao Hanyin, pack up and go to the palace.
"I heard that you have news of Xiao Aiqing?" The emperor went straight to the palace and immediately stated his purpose of summoning her into the palace. schoolgirl
"Your Majesty, the courtiers did receive news from her husband a few days ago, and she wanted to go out to look for it, but she was blocked by a group of guards!" Liu Qingshao frowned.
"Why did the guards stop you?" The emperor glanced at her and said.
"It is said that it is the emperor's intention!" Liu Qingshao told the emperor the news she got and the 1510 narrative.
"How can that be true, when did I say such a thing?" The emperor was furious.
"The emperor didn't order them not to let people in the city go out?" Liu Qingshao was stunned and said, "The courtiers think that these are the emperor's intentions!" ”
In fact, Liu Qingshao had known those things for a long time, and they were not orders from the emperor and the crown prince.
However, she deliberately didn't say anything, just to let the emperor personally investigate this matter.
"The matter of guarding the city gate has always been in the hands of the Ministry of War, and I have never asked!" The emperor said lukewarmly, "Didn't you say that Xiao Hanyin is back, why can't he touch it for a long time."
"Ah Yin was attacked, and the city gate was blocked by those guards again, he couldn't talk about it at all!" Liu Qingshao explained for him.
When the emperor heard her explanation, he was quickly relieved.
After all, Xiao Hanyin is a person, and he still knows it......
Subsequently, Liu Qingshao talked to the emperor and the crown prince about his attack.
When Liu Qingshao replied, she keenly noticed that the emperor's expression seemed to be a little wrong.
The prince hurriedly gave her a look and told her not to go any further.
It turned out that the news that Xiao Hanyin was coming back was only known to the emperor yesterday.
When Xiao Han was hidden at the border, he didn't have much contact with the imperial city at all.
Liu Qingshao really didn't think that Xiao Hanyin hid his news to the death, and even the emperor didn't reveal a word.
No wonder when she mentioned Xiao Hanyin just now, the emperor's face has not been very good.
However, Liu Qingshao really didn't think about it so much at that time, she felt that she knew Xiao Hanyin's news, and the emperor must also know it.
"Your Majesty, Ah Yin has encountered a lot of troubles at the border, his whereabouts are all kept secret, and the courtiers only received the news that he is about to come back yesterday!" Liu Qingshao's words made the emperor's anger disappear a lot.
She realized that the situation was inappropriate and immediately explained that Xiao Hanyin concealed his whereabouts.
Xiao Hanyin is now an official of the imperial court, and there are many things that the emperor doesn't know, but she knows it clearly, if it were her, she was afraid that she would be uncomfortable.
For those in power, the absolute obedience of the courtiers is what they want.
The emperor's control over the ministers of the court and the central government has always been very strong.
Now, Xiao Hanyin didn't tell the others about his return from the border just in case.
But she didn't know about it, and she mentioned it in front of the emperor, no wonder his face was not good-looking.
"What happened to Xiao Hanyin's attack, have you found the murderer?" The emperor still cares about his life and death in his heart.
After all, a courtier as capable as Xiao Hanyin in the court is not enough.
In the future, he will still have a lot of places to use Xiao Hanyin.
This border matter, if other people were sent over, it might not be resolved so quickly.
Xiao Hanyin not only caught the traitor in the fastest time, but also found out the forces behind it, and he did things cleanly, which the emperor appreciated very much.
After the emperor learned about Xiao Hanyin's recent situation from Liu Qingshao's mouth, he wanted to send someone to bring him back.
However, at this time, he wanted to know even more about what kind of person was so rampant that he dared to blatantly encircle Xiao Hanyin.
Things turned out like this, Xiao Hanyin was forced to stay outside the city, and no matter what he did now, he was likely to be assassinated again.
Liu Qingshao was impatient to save Xiao Hanyin.
However, there are some things that she can't do openly without the emperor's permission.
Now, the emperor has already guessed that Xiao Hanyin deliberately concealed the reason for the matter.
He has always been cautious in his work, and he will not let people easily grasp his weakness.
This time, he obviously didn't want to give people a chance to take advantage of it, so he concealed it all the way, but unfortunately it was exposed in the end.
At the moment, his actions are likely to be watched by people hidden in the shadows, and Liu Qingshao can't directly move those guards.
After all, most of those guards were from the imperial court, and she was a woman with no power, so it was difficult to order someone to go and arrest them and interrogate them severely.
If they weren't guards, Liu Qingshao would have ordered someone to control them, and no one would want to escape if they hurt Xiao Hanyin.
"Father, it is imperative that we first arrest all those guards who pretend to pass on the holy decree!" The prince spoke.
He felt that the guards were the key, and perhaps they could ask who was planning the matter.
The crown prince didn't want someone to secretly manipulate the power of the imperial city, which was an extremely dangerous thing for him.
The emperor felt that his proposal was very good, so he immediately ordered Du Wenhai to bring people over immediately, and wanted to take those guards away and control them in a name.
This matter is very important and cannot be easily let others know, so the emperor asked them to do it in secret, so as not to startle the snake.
The emperor readily agreed......
Then, Du Wenhai took people and quietly took away the dozen or so guards secretly.
At that time, he ordered the people to move separately, and no one realized that it was wrong, so he was taken to a dark room.
After Du Wenhai did all this, he went directly to the emperor to report his life, as for these guards, they naturally had to wait for the emperor to send them.
