"Kuro."

Li Xu changed into an official uniform and was about to go to the yamen, when Zhou Yue happened to come over and call him out.

Li Xu raised his head and looked calm.

Zhou Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "Jiulang, I have something I want to tell you. Speaking of this, Zhou Yue couldn't help but be a little nervous.

"Is it Kong Wu's business?" Li Xu stopped there, his robe moving with the wind, and he was still outstanding.

Zhou Yue nodded.

Li Xu said: "Let's talk while walking!" ”

Zhou Yue didn't know how to speak, until the two of them walked out of the alley, Li Xu stopped first: "You went to find Huang Qinghe from Shuntian Mansion before?" ”

"I happened to meet at the gate of Shuntian Mansion," Zhou Yue wanted to explain something, but he didn't know what to say, so he continued, "I didn't tell Jiulang because I ......"

Li Xu said indifferently: "Are you afraid that I want to maintain the Kong family?" ”

Zhou Yue's expression was complicated: "After all, Grandma Kong is your sister, and she has helped you a lot before, I see that you are reluctant to check the Kong family, and I think you can't bear it." ”

Li Xu squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the clouds in the sky: "Zhou Yue, we have known each other for a long time, in your heart, I, Li Xu, am such a person?" I didn't alarm the Kong family, in order to lure out the people behind him, this case is insignificant for Kong Wu, what can I do if I arrest him in prison in advance? ”

Zhou Yue lowered his head guiltily.

"If you leave under the pretext of leaving at the Kong family banquet, I know that you will definitely keep an eye on Kong Wu," Li Xu said, "You didn't discuss it with me, so you must have some doubts in your heart, but I believe that you will not be biased, and as for your suspicions about me, it will be clear in the end." ”

"Jiulang," Zhou Yue raised his head and his eyes flashed, "It's that I'm suspicious, and I will never be like this in the future." ”

"I don't blame you," Li Xu said, "Everyone has selfish intentions, and when I knew that Kong Wu was involved with that person, I didn't hesitate in my heart, but I thought that they did a lot of evil and did bad things in secret, and they should have returned justice to the world a long time ago, and those feelings were nothing."

You and I have seen the tragic death of soldiers in the army, they did not die at the hands of the enemy, but were involved in the shortcomings of the imperial court, and those innocent people were displaced, and human life was like a mustard, so I wanted to embark on the road of official career, since I had thought through it for a long time, and knew what I wanted, how could I be blinded by these. ”

When Zhou Yue heard this, he felt more and more that he couldn't stand Li Xu.

"Encountering such a thing is a test for you and me."

After saying this, Li Xu looked at Zhou Yue: "Don't take it to heart, people get along with each other, it will not always be smooth, it is inevitable that there will be some twists and turns, and like-minded people will still come together." ”

Zhou Yue knew that Li Xu was generous: "I know." ”

Li Xu and Zhou Yue turned over their horses and continued to gallop forward.

Zhou Yue remembered: "What are we going to do next?" ”

Li Xu said: "King Jian wooed the Kong family to arrange manpower in northern Xinjiang, and I want to go to northern Xinjiang to find King Jian's party, so as to remove future troubles for northern Xinjiang, so as not to suddenly cause chaos in northern Xinjiang like the northwest." ”

"That's going to be a year later, right?" Zhou Yue said.

Li Xu's mother's expression appeared in front of his eyes, and it was not necessarily a bad thing that he couldn't go back to the Li clan for the New Year, maybe his mother also wanted to stay in Beijing this year.

Thinking about this, his hand holding the reins was slightly retracted, and there was an emotion rolling in his chest, but his demeanor was the same as before, and he couldn't see any clues.

Li Xu did not return to the Yamen, but went all the way to the city gate.

He looked up and saw two disheveled heads hanging from the city wall, one of which was King Jane.

"This King Jian is really powerful," Zhou Yue said, "Listening to the soldiers who countered the rebellion, in the end, King Jian also ordered the rebels, and there was no need to fear death and not ask for mercy." ”

Li Xu naturally knew that he was a careful person, and asked King Jian clearly about the matter, King Jian said: Don't be afraid of death, don't ask for mercy, everyone dares to fight to the death There will be a day......

Goodbye blue sky?

These are his dying words, and to whom did he listen? Who is Qingtian again.

"Jiulang," Zhou Yue remembered and said, "Kong Wu wanted to coerce Shen Congrong to get an official and a half-position in the southeast, and now that Kong Wu has been arrested, Shen Congrong's side ......"

"Whether it is the Kong family or the Yu family, it is impossible to find a foothold in the southeast," Li Xu felt that the sunlight in front of him was very dazzling, "There are already people who have taken the lead." ”

"Who?" Zhou Yue regretted it a little when he asked, this is not an obvious thing.

Naturally, it was Song Chengxuan.

"King Wei." Li Xu spat out two words, and his voice was extremely low, only he could hear clearly.

Maybe Song Chengxuan and Xu Qinghuan can deceive the court and the emperor now, but they can't deceive him, Xu Qinghuan just used the case of King Jian fourteen years ago as a cover to cover up the clues that appeared.

Song Chengxuan must be the heir of King Wei, so she seems to be married to the inconspicuous Song clan, but in fact, she is married to the King of Wei, and sooner or later she will justifiably become the princess of Wei.

Princess Wei is nothing, and when King Wei ascends the throne and becomes the new emperor, she is the queen mother of the world.

That's what she wants.

……

In the palace.

Not all palaces are opulent, and many have fallen into disrepair and become cold palaces or places where errant courtiers and chamberlains are held.

Master Shen sat on the cold ground, thinking carefully about his life, he didn't remember how many times he wandered on the edge of life and death, and the people around him went one by one, and it would eventually be his turn.

The palace door opened, and two chamberlains stepped forward and dragged him up from the ground.

"Shen Neishi, you can go out!"

Hearing this voice, Master Shen's face flashed with joy: "Has the matter been clarified?" He didn't care if he could survive this turmoil, he wanted to know the final result, King Jian was corrected, then everything was explained, and no one would doubt the past.

The little chamberlain didn't speak, but helped Master Shen out of the house and walked into the courtyard.

Feng Shun stood not far away, raised his head and looked at Master Shen: "Shen Neishi, the matter has been clarified, those things back then have nothing to do with you, you can continue to live in the capital for a long time." ”

Master Shen stepped forward to thank him: "I'm tired of Zhongguan Feng, but have you found out what secrets are in that courtyard?" Why did the little eunuch ask me to send the news out? ”

Feng Shun said: "The court is still investigating, but it has probably come to a conclusion, King Jian wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rebel in the case of King Wei, and the people in the courtyard found out the clue and asked someone to check it around, so it was discovered by King Jian, and Lord Song's parents were killed because of this." ”

After saying this, Feng Shun sighed: "Fourteen years, a lot of evidence has been found, thanks to Miss Xu who found the letter left by the owner of the courtyard.

The letter bears the word "King Jane". ”

The letters and clues came too coincidentally, and the emperor was puzzled, so he took care of all the clans, but he didn't expect King Jian to take advantage of the loophole, and now everything is over.

Feng Shun's words were all at this, and he was about to order the inner servant to send Master Shen out of the palace, when he suddenly remembered: "Lord Shen Congrong was adopted by Shen Neifu, why did Shen Neishou hide it?" ”

A complicated look flashed on Master Shen's face: "Back then, I thought that adopting a child would be able to support me in the future, and seeing him more and more promising, I had other thoughts in my heart, anyway, I am already a dying person, why bother to involve him, let people know my relationship with him, he will inevitably be criticized...... If others don't know, presumably Lieutenant Feng will understand. ”

Feng Shun was slightly stunned, as if he thought of himself, the eunuch was always inferior, and Shen Fu was afraid that Shen Congrong would be looked down upon by the officials.

Thinking of this, Feng Shun waved his hand and motioned for Master Shen to leave.

Shen Congrong was coerced by the Kong family, and handed the resignation to the emperor, and they interrogated Shen Fu every day, but did not find any suspicion from Shen Fu's mouth.

It is not a way to keep Shen Fu in lockdown, the imperial court is at the time of employing people, the chaos in Fengyang cannot be quelled for a while, General Song has been seriously injured, and now he can only appease Shen Congrong and order him to lead troops to Fengyang.

Feng Shun shook his head, the court was unstable, and the emperor was really too hard.

……

Master Shen walked all the way out of the palace gate, and he saw Shen Congrong who came to answer at a glance.

The appearance of Shen Congrong standing there reminded him of Wu Sheng back then.

Wu Sheng.

We lost back then, but this time we won.

Wu Sheng, you really trust me.

At that time, Tuogu didn't even have time to say the whereabouts of the child, and I finally found the child and raised him with great difficulty.

A smile appeared on Master Shen's face.

That's not what I'm most proud of, but now we have a new hope.

I can finally say now: Wu Sheng, I didn't live up to your trust.

Master Shen's eyes were blurred.
