The way back to Beijing is far away, and when she comes, she doesn't realize that she is tired and hard, and when she returns, she only has a heavy heart.

According to Tao Yuhong's confession, after several nights of lonely lights, she was gradually able to connect this conspiracy.

First, Tao Yuhong secretly drugged the people of the county government, and while she and Ling Fengchen were in a hurry, Xiao Lian opened the prison door and released the remnants, and went to the city gate to snatch the assassin's body and escape. Not long after the two sides fought, Huya was even more caught off guard with the likes of the rivers and lakes. Immediately afterwards, the siege and siege of the city were terrifying, and the bloodshed washed the city gate and rebelled and wanted to harm Yu Wenye.

The Tianhe faction's crimes are too numerous to mention, and they have killed so many court officials in a row that they have intensified their assassination of the crown prince. The success of the assassination will turbulent the government and the opposition, and no matter how much the emperor regrets it, he would never have imagined that the Xiao family would be with the Jianghu Caokou, even if he was suspicious, there was no clue. If it fails, the blame lies entirely with the Tianhe. Regardless of success or failure, all crimes were committed by the Tianhe faction, and Empress Dowager Xiao hid completely.

This mesh is very large, airtight, and one ring is linked to another, and there is no mistake in one step. In other words, such scheming can Yu Wenye avoid it?

After more than half a month of day and night, they stayed in Xia County again tonight, just waiting for dawn to enter Beijing.

There is no post station in Xia County, and she lives in the best inn where she met her brothers and sisters last time. The warm wind in the capital in May hits people, and the wind is cool but not cold at night, and it feels cold and soaked on Bai Muguan's body.

Wait another day, she will be able to see the enemy who has worked hard to kill Yu Wenye, and she is afraid that she can't help but point her sword at that person......

"Xiaoguan, this incident may have changed my fate......" Ling Fengchen paced to her side, and looked at her line of sight, there were a few birds above the courtyard, with colorful feathers and beautiful spirits, but they couldn't name the species.

Bai Muguan looked at it and sighed stupidly: "Second Brother Ling, you see how good those little birds are free!" They live harder than the birds raised by the ladies in the backyard of the deep palace, but they are desirable. ”

"People who are born responsible are destined to be less free than birds, so why aspire to add to their troubles?" Ling Fengchen's words refer to himself and her, and even more to Yu Wenye, who does not know life and death.

She asked knowingly: "Will Ming'er meet the saint?" ”

"Captain Zhang is staying in Suzhou County, and I will present the excerpt he wrote to His Majesty for him." Ling Fengchen's voice was hoarse, revealing a little worry, "But you have to calm down, don't speak out of proportion, and you can't move her for the time being." ”

Bai Muguan's heart fluctuated, and his face looked indifferent: "Don't worry, I will take it step by step, and I won't act rashly if I am not completely sure." ”

"Your Majesty has sent a newcomer to Suzhou to take up his post, the Tianhe faction has been wiped out, and the Qinglong Pavilion Master has been captured, and the rest of the gang has been shocked, and it will be stable in the future." After speaking, Ling Fengchen left her and went back to the house alone.

The girl did not stand in a daze anymore, and went back to the house to recuperate and wait for the next day to enter the palace to face the saint.

In the afternoon of the next day, the group finally entered the palace safely. Tao Yuhong and his family members were sent to the Criminal Department, and the captured Jianghu Cao Mang was sent to Dali Temple. When Ling Fengchen and Bai Muguan stepped into Chaoyang Palace, the emperor was worried about the report sent by Xijing.

"The two Aiqing are exempt." Yuwen Hao waved his sleeves, but his voice was deep.

The two knelt on the ground at the same time to plead guilty, claiming in unison that they were incompetent and failed to protect the prince well, causing the county town of Suzhou to fall into a crisis......

Yuwen Haotian let out a long sigh: "The villain is in charge, the serial calculation, and the fault of Fei'er." ”

Ling Fengchen lowered his eyes, and tried his best to block the blame and said: "Your Majesty, General Xiaobai is very conscientious, and it is a dereliction of duty ...... the subordinates."

Yuwen Haotian abruptly interrupted his words, his face was gloomy, and his voice was full of solemnity: "Immediately execute Tao Yuhong, kill his entire clan, and strangle the Jianghu grass robbers who are sent into the capital on the same day to set an example!" As for you, I will not pursue it. ”

Summarily executed, how is this possible? Didn't the emperor want to take the opportunity to torture and find out the mastermind behind the scenes? It is undoubtedly the time to bring down the Xiao family!

Bai Muguan was shocked, and couldn't help but ask eagerly: "Why didn't Your Majesty give an order to investigate thoroughly?" Tao Yuhong's actions must have been instructed by others, otherwise how dare he be a small staff officer? ”

"Thoroughly?" The emperor's dragon eyes flashed, and he sneered, "It turns out that my decision requires Xiao Bai Aiqing to put his beak in place. ”

In the past, she didn't dare to continue to say it if she had a hundred guts, but at this moment she couldn't swallow the words that came to her mouth: "Your Majesty, the life and death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are uncertain, and the county town of Suzhou fell into an unprecedented crisis that night, and it is unimaginable that you have not been there in person." Now that the minister is in great trouble, he begs His Majesty to strictly interrogate Tao Yuhong and thoroughly investigate the case. At present, the country and the people are safe, how dare the people of the rivers and lakes openly rebel? If you don't get rid of the people behind her, and leave her to continue to make waves, I am afraid that the subjects of the world will never be at peace! ”

Ling Fengchen on the side was red-eyed, but unfortunately he couldn't stop her, seeing her kneeling in front of the emperor and speaking passionately, what is the difference between acting like this and persecuting the Son of Heaven? If she angered Long Yan, it was hard to guarantee that her father would not be affected......

Fortunately, the emperor did not get angry and reprimanded, and the hall was silent for a long time, and the person sitting on the dragon chair finally said in a shallow tone: "You said that the current country and the people are safe, but in fact, it is not. Your father was in a tight situation in Mobei, Xijing was not at peace, and there was an epidemic in the capital, and even King Xu was not spared. ”

"There are no outsiders here, and I know that your favorite prince also wants to fulfill you. Now that the whereabouts of the crown prince are unknown, you are uneasy, and I can understand it. However, state affairs affect the whole body, and we must not act rashly. ”

At the end, the emperor lowered his voice and said something that surprised them: "The main envoy you want to check, Tao Yuhong will not know, and even if he knows, he will not dare to say it, if he dares to say that this way will be wiped out long ago." ”

After careful consideration, it is not surprising that Tao Yuhong can access the power center of the capital? At most, he is a lackey who works for the Xiao family, and he doesn't even know who the real owner is. For example, on the way back to Beijing, she also interrogated Tao Yuhong in private, and over and over again, he either said that there was no one to instruct him, or he climbed some inconsequential courtiers. Previously, the names of these courtiers were also sent to the emperor in other ways, and they were completely out of the world.

Among these people, there are innocent people who have been wronged, and there are even those who did participate in the plot, and the true and false emperors have not been distinguished, and they should be dealt with. At present, the war between Xijing and Anguo is about to break out, Mobei needs a large amount of military salaries and rations to maintain the war situation, and the disaster situation in Zhejiang has eased slightly, and it is really impossible to track down the Xiao family.

Ling Fengchen realized it, so he bowed his hand: "What Your Majesty said, the minister deeply agrees. ”

"It is my sons who are missing, and it is my people who are killed in battle, and I am more sad and resentful than you! Although I have not been to Suzhou, I know all the big and small matters. Suddenly, he glanced at Bai Muguan deeply, and promised, "When everything is over, I will give you a reward." Ling Qing is the same. ”

"The minister does not ask for a reward, but only hopes that His Highness will return safely!" With that, she bowed her head heavily.

The emperor had a lot of scruples and refused to issue an order to search for the crown prince, why didn't she hear about it?

"You believe that the prince will be fine."
