Wei Zhaohua had an ominous premonition in his heart, as if he had something to do with the man in black just now.

Before he had time to think about it, Wei Zhaohua had already packed up and walked outside. instructed Youyou not to wake up Su Chengbi, and Wei Zhaohua followed Anyang and the two of them to ride their horses towards Taifu's mansion.

When he arrived at the Taifu Mansion, Jiang Heng had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and waited until Wei Zhaohua turned over and dismounted, and then entered the Taifu Mansion together.

"What's going on, I've just left, why are you in such a hurry to ask me to come back?" Wei Zhaohua didn't care about anything else, and asked, Jiang Heng was waiting at the door, and he was also preparing to answer for Wei Zhaohua on the way.

Jiang Heng's face was also very heavy, and he frowned and said, "After the confession banquet was dispersed today, many ministers were ambushed on the way back, the light ones were so frightened that they fell ill at home, and the heavy ones have already returned to the west. ”

When Wei Zhaohua heard the ambush, he unconsciously thought of the man in black he had encountered, and he was suspicious, "But what clues are there?" When the ministers come here to attend the banquet, it is impossible that there is no one around them to protect them, but what is left? ”

"This matter is strange, when the family members of the ministers came to report, they brought one or two witnesses, and now my grandfather is interrogating, and I don't know what the result is?" Jiang Hengqiang pretended to be calm and said.

Wei Zhaohua seemed to remember something, and stopped, "Does the palace know about this matter?" ”

Jiang Heng shook his head, "Grandfather thinks that this matter is not simple, it is all after the confession banquet, and it is very likely that it is from the Jiang Mansion." This kind of open and secret battle in the court, even if the grandfather does not return to the court, the families of those ministers who have died in Huangquan will definitely make trouble in front of the emperor. Grandfather thought that if he could, he would better press it down first, and it would not be too late to wait for a clue to come back. ”

Wei Zhaohua didn't speak, and continued to walk forward. So many things happened after the confession banquet, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Jiang Fu, and both Jiang Taifu and Wei Zhaohua would definitely be implicated. If there is anyone who can't get out of it, it's only Shen Cuobai. This matter was personally ordered by Shen Cuobai, and if it was used by someone with a heart, it would definitely make a lot of nonsense.

Wei Zhaohua was irritable in his heart, quickened his pace, and after a while, he walked to Mrs. Jiang's study.

"Grandfather," Wei Zhaohua and Jiang Heng walked in and saluted Mrs. Jiang slightly. Where can Mrs. Jiang take care of this, the two people kneeling on the ground are the witnesses left behind when they were ambushed, Mrs. Jiang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this time, and when he saw Wei Zhaohua coming, his eyebrows stretched a little.

"You guys! Tell the county lord what I just said! Mrs. Jiang said to the two kneeling people.

Wei Zhaohua looked at it, the two people kneeling were covered in dust, their faces were pale, bloodless, their eyes were stunned, and when they touched Wei Zhaohua's gaze, they still didn't dodge. He bowed to Wei Zhaohua, "See the county lord." ”

Wei Zhaohua nodded and walked to Mrs. Jiang's side, "That's what you say." ”

The bodies of the two were still trembling, and Wei Zhaohua paced lightly, looking at the two people.

"The slave is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites

The guards in the mansion followed Lord Shangshu all the way to see the confession banquet of Jiang Taifu and Zhaohua County Lord, and there was nothing wrong with it. Until he went back, he suddenly killed all the masked black-clothed people on the way, each wearing a ghost-masked mask, as if he was a demon. But there were many of us, and we thought it would be fine, but we didn't expect it. ”

At this, the man's pupils dilated, as if he had seen something incredible.

"I didn't expect those people to be afraid of injury at all, even if we cut their hands and feet, they still attacked us. They didn't seem to feel pain, and I watched with my own eyes that Lord Shangshu was bitten off by a man in black, and it was bitten off, and the man in black had a sharp blade on his teeth! ”

After speaking, the two of them trembled on the ground together, and Wei Zhaohua listened to the words of the two people, and only felt that something was not quite right. Why are they talking differently from the man in black they met? Grimace masks, sharp fangs, these are all things that Wei Zhaohua has not seen. Didn't you ambush them when you encountered them?

"Since they're so powerful, how did you escape?" Wei Zhaohua opened his mouth to ask, and the faces of Jiang Taifu and Jiang Heng next to him were not very good, Rao is so many years of wind and waves, but he still had never encountered such an evil thing.

"We ......" The kneeling man shuddered and suddenly fell to the ground. Several people were taken aback, and Jiang Heng hurriedly stepped forward to check.

"I should have fainted with fright, let's wait for them to wake up and try again." Jiang Heng said to Jiang Taifu and Wei Zhaohua. Mrs. Jiang nodded, waved his hand gently, and Jiang Heng sent someone to come in and take care of the two of them.

Wei Zhaohua looked at Mrs. Jiang sitting on the chair and worried, and his heart was even more anxious. Grimace masks, sharp fangs, what kind of people have these?

"Grandfather, it's a matter of human life, and it is estimated that he can't hide it from the palace. Instead of us investigating like this, it is better to ask the emperor to come forward and appease the family! Wei Zhaohua opened his mouth and said, no matter what the intentions of the people who came, they were always against them.

Mrs. Jiang closed his eyes, what happened today was too disturbing, he suddenly turned from great joy to great sorrow, how could he feel happy. In this matter, even if he wants to avoid it, I'm afraid it will be impossible for him to stay out of it.

When Jiang Taifu, Wei Zhaohua and Jiang Heng rushed to the palace, Shen Cuobai already knew about it. In the imperial study, the lights were so strong that Wei Zhaoyan couldn't help but feel a little dazzling, moved away slightly, and it took a long time to ease up.

"I must explain this matter to those injured officials, I just looked at it, there are six officials who are gone, and countless are injured! I'm afraid this is not a good thing for the court! ”

Shen Cuobai frowned and said little by little. The three of them were also slightly stunned when they heard the data Shen Cuobai said. What kind of person is so ruthless, what is such a killer for?

"This matter is all the old minister's poor consideration, so that the court has lost the talent of the pillars, and the old minister will not escape the blame!" Jiang Taifu knelt on the ground all of a sudden, Wei Zhao

Hua and Jiang Heng also hurriedly knelt down.

Shen Cuobai got up from his seat and stepped forward to personally support Mrs. Jiang, "Don't blame yourself too much for this matter, Mrs. Jiang is a confession banquet approved by my decree, if you talk about guilt, I will be the same as Mrs. Jiang." But now is not the time to worry about these things, the most important thing is to hurry up and give an explanation to the rest! ”

Jiang Heng stood up, "This matter is widely implicated, Jiang Heng is willing to thoroughly investigate the truth of the matter as a guilty person!" ”

Shen Cuobai nodded, "That's fine!" Even if it is counted in the security of the capital, all the Royal Forest Army will listen to your orders, and start investigating from now on, the sooner the better, if there are any clues, report immediately! ”

"Subordinates obey." Jiang Heng hugged his fists and saluted, and if this matter was handed over to others to investigate, he would not let it go. Heart. It's just that he didn't expect that Shen Cuobai would trust him so much, and the strength of the entire Imperial Forest Army was enough to make Jiang Heng do whatever he wanted in the capital.

Shen Cuobai comforted Mrs. Jiang a few more words, and Mrs. Jiang's heart was a little more relaxed. Even though he has made a number of unclear contributions to the court, but now that he has retired, if he brings trouble to the court, then no one will care about the merits of the past, but all of them will be people who have fallen into the ground. When you are old, you are afraid that it will be desolate.

When Wei Zhaohua, Jiang Taifu and Jiang Heng and his party left, Shen Cuobai looked at Wei Zhaohua's back and sighed helplessly.

"Cheng An, do you have any ideas? Most of the people who participated in this family recognition banquet had received the favor of Mrs. Jiang, and they were even friends with Mrs. Jiang. Shen Cuobai asked softly, with the vicissitudes of his age in his tone.

"Your Majesty, do you suspect that it was the Queen Mother who did it and wanted to get rid of Jiang Taifu's power in the court?" Cheng An guessed lightly, "At this time, Mrs. Jiang and the Lord of Zhaohua are on good terms, and the Queen Mother has a holiday with two people at the same time, if you really do this, there are indeed enough reasons, but why does the Queen Mother go to such great lengths?" What more grimace masks and sharp fangs? ”

Shen Cuobai's eyes narrowed into a slit, "What you said is reasonable." When this incident happens, I will definitely be the first to suspect the Queen Mother, even if the Queen Mother wants to cover up, she will not be so stupid. ”

Cheng An responded, and then said, "Your Majesty, the grimace mask and sharp fangs are all like devil-like existences, and such a person killing the ministers of the court is far more impactful than the assassination!" ”

Shen Cuobai nodded, "I know in my heart, I will go and pass the Zhaohua County Lord into the palace tomorrow." ”

Cheng An responded, Shen Cuobai waved his hand, and Cheng An retreated, closing the door to the study by the way. I secretly marveled in my heart, the status of Lord Zhaohua in the emperor's heart is really becoming more and more important, and even a little out of the ordinary.

Rao is like this, Cheng An still didn't say anything, and carefully arranged tomorrow's affairs. The words of the Son of Heaven, he can deduce, but he may not speculate, especially Shen Cuobai, who is more thoughtful than the first emperor.

Back at Jiang Mansion, Wei Zhaohua and Jiang Heng had a good talk before coaxing Mrs. Jiang to sleep in the house. Jiang Heng looked at the moon in the sky, and it was indeed half

Round.

"It's not early, so it's better to rest in Taifu Mansion." Jiang Heng opened his mouth softly, taking the lead in breaking the silence.

Wei Zhaohua shook his head, "Where is there still time to rest, tomorrow at dawn, today's matter will inevitably be revealed in front of people, and it will only be more tricky at that time, it is more important to solve the case as soon as possible." ”

Hearing Wei Zhaohua say this, Jiang Heng nodded fiercely, this is not the first time that Wei Zhaohua has impressed him, the two of them glanced at each other and walked towards the guest room.
