……

Late at night, the second prince's mansion.

In the brightly lit Buddha hall, the faint sound of Sanskrit sound came into the deep night.

In a trance, there is a solemnity.

However, in the quiet place surrounded by darkness, a dark shadow sneaked smoothly into the night, silently stood outside the Buddha hall, and finally knelt in front of the gods and Buddhas.

Wait quietly for the Sanskrit sound in your ears to disappear.

In front of the man in black, it was Yan Beichen who was wearing a simple gray robe.

He knelt on the futon, one hand rhythmically rotated, slowly and orderly turning the Buddha beads, and the other hand gently knocked on the wooden fish.

His lips twitched slightly, and a deep Sanskrit sound spilled out of his lips.

After a long time, the sound of the wooden fish stopped abruptly.

At this time, the man in black replied in a hoarse voice: "The third prince returned to the Lanxin Mansion safely, and his subordinates did not dare to follow him again, so he came to ask the prince for his guilt." ”

Yan Beichen didn't turn around to look at him, his words were cold and incomprehensible: "What are you guilty of?" ”

Hearing this, the man in black looked ashamed, and lowered his head a little: "The subordinates are not doing things well, and letting the third prince escape is probably going to break the prince's taboo." ”

"This matter has nothing to do with you, it is all the will of God." Yan Beichen looked compassionate, and saluted the Buddha statue in front of him with his hands folded: "God doesn't want me to do cruel things, and this matter is not my nature, so it's very good." ”

Listening to what he said, it was as if all this was not what he wanted to do, but was forced to do it.

Hearing this, the man in black couldn't help but persuade: "Although the prince is a compassionate person, but at the moment, you must not be merciful, you can only compete with the eldest prince with the help of the Jin family, otherwise once the eldest prince ascends the throne, the second prince's mansion will ...... Dangerous. ”

That's true.

The more he spoke, the more anxious the people in black became.

Don't say anything else, let's just say that what has happened in the past two years has caused the eldest prince to look at the second prince more and more unpleasantly.

Once Yan Zheng becomes the new emperor, then when he frees his hands, the first thing to clean up is the Second Prince's Mansion.

As for the Lyceum Mansion......

As long as Yan Yiheng can't take a step out of Lanxin's mansion, no one can move him.

"Lord Wang, for the sake of the overall situation, you must not be kind to women."

In the end, a thousand words turned into just one sentence.

Once Yan Beichen falls, then everything behind him will be burned.

The heavy voice split in his ears, and Yan Beichen did not give an answer immediately.

He was silent again, as if he had heard nothing, until the man behind him walked away with heavy steps, his eyes still closed.

I don't know how long it has been, Yan Beichen finally opened his eyes slowly.

He calmly pinched the string of Buddha beads, and looked at the Buddha statue with a compassionate expression in front of him without saying a word.

At this time, his eyes were indifferent.

It was a complete disregard for life.

The gentle and compassionate second prince in the past was just a mask he wore.

……

The next morning, Cheng'an was in turmoil.

It is said that the sixth prince of Liangguo, Tuoba Sheng, has disappeared.

The news entered the palace, alarming Emperor Yan and Yan Zheng, countless officers and soldiers went out to search, and after several hours, they finally found the body of Tuoba Sheng who had been cut in half and had been dead for a long time in the mud pit on the outskirts.

Upon learning of this bad news, Tuoba Sheng's best friend Yan Mushan immediately stumbled and almost fainted after being hit.

The whole Cheng'an fell into a panic.

Even Emperor Yan was completely alarmed, and personally went to Dali Temple outside the palace.

When he saw the miserable corpse, Emperor Yan's face turned black with visible eyes, and then he quickly looked away, as if he couldn't bear it.

"Check! This matter must be investigated! I want to see who dares to commit murder in Cheng'an! ”

Under the thunder and rage, all the ministers were shocked.

The case was filed almost as quickly as possible.

In this way, the grief in Yan Mushan's heart could not be reduced in the slightest, he threw himself next to Tuoba Sheng's corpse and cried to death, and the dignified prince had no prestige at all.

Such a humiliating act made Emperor Yan's face darken again.

After a long time, Emperor Yan couldn't help but rub his temples and snorted angrily: "A dignified manly man, even if the sky falls, his face will not change, why are you crying?" ”

Yan Mushan climbed two steps forward, knelt at the feet of Emperor Yan and cried: "Father, the little sixth son must have been murdered, he was okay yesterday and wanted to make an appointment with me for wine, why did he become like this today?" I beg you to find out about this matter, give him the truth, find out the person who harmed him, and avenge him! ”

As he spoke, he cried.

Tears and snot are mixed together, and it looks so miserable.

Seeing this, Emperor Yan became more and more depressed in his heart.

Since he got the news, he ordered Cheng An to put him on guard, and several hours have passed since then, but he has not received any news at all.

Emperor Yan rubbed his temples and asked Yan Zheng, who was also walking back and forth in the lobby, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Yan Zheng's tone was heavy: "The six princes of Liangguo died unexpectedly, and the murderer did it in Cheng'an, if this matter is not investigated, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain it to Emperor Liang, and in the end, I am afraid that it will be too big and will not be able to end." ”

Cool Emperor.

Just two words are enough to make people restless.

As we all know, Tuoba Sheng is the most beloved son of Emperor Liang, if he knows that his most beloved son died in Cheng'an......

At worst, it is said that the two countries have made enemies and will never communicate with each other again, and at worst, it is impossible to start a war immediately and cause the lives of the two countries to be miserable.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yan's mood was even heavier.

Seeing that his health is getting worse and worse, he is making such a thing at this moment.

It's really ...... Difficult to do.

How can he close his eyes with peace of mind?

"Yesterday, who was the last person to see Tuoba Sheng?"

Hearing this, Yan Mushan, who had been crying for a long time, finally found a trace of reason, and hurriedly said: "Yesterday, Xiao Liuzi held a banquet, and it was noisy until the middle of the night, and finally he said that he would personally send the prince of Jin back to his house, but he never came back after going out, and his son noticed that something was wrong, which alarmed his father and eldest brother......

Emperor Yan frowned, and said irrefutably: "Tell the point." ”

Seeing that Emperor Yan was completely impatient, Yan Mushan didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said: "That prince of Jin Kingdom is the last person to see Xiao Liuzi, this matter must have nothing to do with her, maybe she killed Xiao Liuzi!" ”

The more he thought about it, the more Yan Mushan felt that it was possible.

In addition, the two of them were enemies in the past, and Qi Changrong had enough positions and reasons to do it.

Thinking of this, Yan Mushan cried again: "Xiao Liuzi told me that the prince of Jin Kingdom is not a good person before, and his legs will be broken because of Qi Changrong, and I also ask my father to avenge Xiao Liuzi!" ”

The crying in his ears continued, and Yan Mushan was bent on accusing Qi Changrong.

I don't know if it's the right time, Qi Changrong just came in from outside, and he heard such an emotional slander.

"Oh? The five princes think that they have orphaned Tuoba Sheng? I wonder if the five princes saw it with their own eyes, or if there is any evidence to prove that this matter was done alone? ”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Changrong walked into the lobby unhurriedly, and saluted Emperor Yan as usual.

After that, he walked to the corpse that had been cleaned up, and let him open the white cloth without hesitation and look inside.

With just one glance, she tightened her eyebrows, looked thoughtfully at Yan Mushan who was stunned, and asked, "Why does the fifth prince think that it is such a vicious thing that is alone?" ”

Yan Mushan didn't want to think about it and said: "You have a grudge against Xiao Liuzi, I can't wait to kill him as soon as possible, not to mention that Liang Guo is at war with Jin State, you have every reason to do it!" ”

Qi Changrong chuckled, wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, and said slowly: "Then according to the inference of the five princes, there has been a lot of friction at the junction of the Yan Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom during this period of time, and Lone should also make a move to the Yan Kingdom royal family?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Even Emperor Yan tightened his eyebrows, as if he was sideways at Qi Changrong's boldness.

Now that she is under the eaves, she has the courage to provoke the royal family, is she really not afraid that Emperor Yan will turn his face and deny people, and directly take her life?

"After hearing this bad news, Lone knew that he would become the first suspect, and in order to clear his suspicion, he brought a few witnesses."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Mushan followed closely and sneered: "Aren't the people brought by Prince Changrong all dedicated to Prince Changrong?" ”

"That's not true." Qi Changrong glanced at him twice, and said lightly: "The people who are looking for Gu are all people who are serving around the six princes of Liang, including coachmen, attendants, and guards, and they can all prove Gu's innocence." ”

"Who knows if what you said is true or false......" Yan Mushan muttered casually: "If you don't want to admit the crime, just pull a few people over, and you can talk nonsense." ”

In the face of his sarcasm, Qi Changrong was unmoved: "The people who came from Lonely, the five princes may have an impression. ”

Hearing this, seeing that Yan Mushan was going to continue to mess around, Emperor Yan frowned in annoyance, and directly concluded: "Bring those people up first." ”

"Yes." Qi Changrong calmly responded, and then turned his head and ordered a few words to the people around him.

The rest of the people in the lobby were not avoided all the time.

A moment later, the witnesses in her mouth were brought up.

Seeing a few familiar faces in front of him, Yan Mushan was surprised, and subconsciously said, "Why are you here?" ”

Hearing this, the coachmen, attendants, and guards below all saluted Yan Mushan one by one.

After the greeting was over, Qi Changrong pointed to Yan Mushan and asked the people below, "Do you all know him?" ”

The coachman was the first to reply: "Yes, he is the best friend of the Six Princes and the Fifth Princes of the Yan Kingdom. ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Qi Changrong nodded, and then looked at Yan Mushan: "Can the five princes know them?" ”

Hearing this, Yan Mushan blushed and did not answer.

Seeing this, Qi Changrong was not annoyed, but patiently introduced the past one by one:

"This is the exclusive coachman of the six princes of Liang, he brought it from Liangguo, and all the trips are driven by this coachman."

"This is the servant who is personally serving the six princes of Liang, and he has already been cleansed, and he is also a native of Liangguo."

"There is also this person, he is the personal guard of the Six Princes of Liang, and he has always been responsible for the safety of the Six Princes."

"These three people are almost inseparable from Tuoba Sheng, what should the impression of the five princes be in their hearts?"
