Time flew by, and the martial arts examination ended at the end of September.

"It's been a hard time." In the imperial garden, Shen Sijun looked at Xie Shiyun on the side, a soft light flashed in his eyes, "Is your body better?" ”

"Do you think I'm in trouble right now?" Xie Shiyun looked at Shen Sijun and smiled slightly, "By the way, the assassin matter can be settled." ”

"Not yet, I was about to talk about it, this assassin is very tight-mouthed." Shen Sijun frowned, with a little coldness around him, and looked at Xie Shiyun, "So, I plan to interrogate it myself." ”

"It's fine." Xie Shiyun nodded, a gleam flashed in her eyes, "I'm much more relieved to hand it over to you." ”

Shen Sijun looked at Xie Shiyun thoughtfully, God knows how anxious he was when he learned that Xie Shiyun was assassinated, and seeing that she was safe and sound now, his heart was relieved.

After this incident, he also raised his vigilance, and after sending Xie Shiyun back to the palace, Shen Sijun went to the prison, in the dark prison, the black-clothed man whose hands and feet were tied to the pillar was like ashes, if there was still breath, I really suspected that he was dead.

"Haven't recruited yet?" Shen Sijun stood with his hands in his hands, and looked at the man in black with his eyes slightly subordinate, "It's a bit backbone." ”

"Lord Hui, this person's mouth is very hard, and he refuses to open his mouth no matter how he fights." The jailer lowered his head and respectfully reported to Shen Sijun, "My lord, should we use something ruthless." ”

"Ruthless?" The corners of Shen Sijun's lips rose, with a bit of sarcasm, "With this person's condition, I'm afraid I'm really going to die if I'm using a little ruthless." ”

"What then?" The jailer sighed bitterly, "Don't hide it, my lord, we have used everything but torture during this time, and this person will not say anything even if he is killed." ”

"I still look like I have a backbone." The jailer snorted fiercely, looking shamelessly at the kidnapped assassin, "I heard that this man left his accomplices behind and left alone. ”

What is such a person who is not greedy for life and afraid of death, the jailer glared at him, "It's disgusting to look like death." ”

Now that the clues have been broken, the only way to pursue them is to get clues from this assassin, but if the assassin does not say anything, this matter can only drag on day by day.

"What are you?" Luo Qiuheng walked in slowly, and saw Shen Sijun, who was alone with his brows furrowed, "What is going on?" ”

"Sort of." Shen Sijun sighed, feeling a little helpless, he looked at Luo Qiuheng, "Do you know about Shiyun's assassination some time ago?" ”

"Yes." Luo Qiuheng nodded, he was no stranger to this matter, if he hadn't arrived in time at that time, I was afraid that the imperial sister would ......

"No matter what method was used, the assassin refused to give a clue."

"Hey! I thought something was going on. Luo Qiuheng smiled and patted him on the back, "It's not easy, don't forget what I do." ”

"Do you have a way?" Shen Sijun looked at Luo Qiuheng hesitantly, "Without further ado, let's go to the prison and talk about it." ”

In the prison, Luo Qiuheng looked at the assassin who was beaten to pieces, and sighed, "It's really miserable." ”

"Since it's so painful, why don't you say it sooner?" Luo Qiuheng looked at the black-clothed assassin coldly, and the black-clothed assassin looked at him dyingly, "If you want to kill, kill it, what nonsense." ”

"If you have the ability, give Lao Tzu a good time." The man in black gritted his teeth, his eyes were extremely scarlet, and roared angrily at Shen Sijun and Luo Qiuheng here, "You want us to tell you, unless I die!" ”

"Humph! Still want to die? Luo Qiuheng looked at the man in black coldly, and his voice rose faintly, "I'm afraid that you are better off than dead." ”

He pulled out a couple of jars from his cuffs and said, "Give him these things to eat." ”

"Yes." The guard took the thing in Luo Qiuheng's hand, pinched the man's forehead, and poured it directly.

"What did you give me?" The man in black had no power to resist, only felt that everything in front of him was spinning, and he felt drowsy.

"Who told you to kill Emperor Da Chen?" Luo Qiuheng's voice seemed to have some kind of magic, and the man in black seemed to be in an unconscious state, "I don't know, I don't know if I heard our boss call that person Liu Gongzi." ”

"People from the Liu family?" Luo Qiuheng and Shen Sijun glanced at each other, although they knew that Xie Shiyun's reform was bound to affect the interests of various families, but they were not greatly affected by the Liu family.

Assassination of the emperor, once this crime is confirmed, it is the capital crime of destroying the nine clans, if it is not for the deep hatred of the sea, who is willing to do these things that harm others and are not beneficial to themselves.

"It could be them!" Xie Shiyun was also taken aback when she heard the news, "I sent out to investigate, is there any news?" ”

"Yes." Shen Sijun nodded, with a faint worry in his eyes, "This matter will be handed over to me and Luo Qiuheng to investigate, and you will recuperate in the palace in the past few days." ”

"Yes, although your injuries are healed, it is difficult to protect the toxins." Luo Qiuheng stopped her, and saw that Xie Shiyun still had concerns in her eyes, "Are you questioning our ability to do things?" ”

"That's not what I meant." Xie Shiyun paused, "I'm just worried about ......"

"Since that's not what it means, don't you have it." Luo Qiuheng patted his chest, "Imperial sister, what if you follow us out of the palace too?" ”

After appeasing Xie Shiyun, the two reached a consensus and walked out of the imperial study, in the pavilion, Luo Qiuheng looked at Shen Sijun, "Shiyun was here just now, I didn't say it, I found out that the family surnamed Liu has been attached to the Zhao family." ”

"The Zhao family?" Shen Sijun frowned, "The Zhao family is also a big family in the capital, and there were many officials from the previous dynasty, do you suspect that this matter was done by the Zhao family surnamed Liu?" ”

"Not bad." Luo Qiuheng paused and sighed, "But now they don't have any substantial evidence in their hands. ”

"I will send someone to continue to keep an eye on the Zhao family." Luo Qiuheng's eyes flashed dark, and he looked into the distance, "As for the safety of the imperial sister, I will leave it to you, don't let me down." ”

"Don't worry." Shen Sijun's eyes flickered, "I will never let anything happen to her." ”

At the beginning of October, the results of the literary examination came out.

Ma Ke won the third place in the literary examination and returned home.

Inside the tavern.

Shen Sijun and Xie Shiyun stood aside, as if they had been waiting for a long time, Ma Ke looked at the two, and he didn't know what words to use to express his emotions in his heart, "The grass people are late when they hear the news, and they ask the emperor to forgive them." ”

"Don't be restrained, we just invited you to have dinner to celebrate your good result in third place, and there is no other meaning." Xie Shiyun chuckled, and she stepped forward, "Don't live up to my hopes for you in the future." ”

"I will live up to the emperor's entrustment." Ma Ke bowed down respectfully, his eyes were full of gratitude, "The emperor's kindness to Ma Ke, Ma Ke will never forget it, and he should work harder in the future to live up to the emperor's hopes." ”

"Alright." Xie Shiyun waved his hand and looked at the two, "Hurry up, there is no difference between monarchs and ministers here, eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink"

The three of them toasted and talked happily......
