After Xiao Feng left the palace, what happened in the palace did not spread, but when Zhang Yu began to arrest people under the command of Jinyiwei, the entire capital didn't want to know.

The first of them is the cousin of the second prince's uncle Xiao Yiheng, who served as the Lang Zhong of the Criminal Department from the fifth grade.

The person arrested by Jinyiwei who directly entered the yamen of the Criminal Department was so tough that Zhou Mingwen, who was the right attendant of the Criminal Department, was stunned.

Surprised, surprised?

His cousin's accusation is still that of a cultist of the Black Lotus Sect!

In the past few days, he has been busy helping his nephew catch the people of the Black Lotus Sect, but he didn't expect that the flowers bloomed outside the wall and the incense inside the wall, and the people around him were caught.

After Xiao Yiheng found out, he scolded this distant uncle for damning, he had just been praised by his father, and he came out of this matter, which made his face crackle. Zhou Mingwen also proposed whether to intercede with Emperor Xia? Xiao Yiheng thought about it and spit out a word: Should!

Immediately afterwards, Jin Yiwei grabbed a few more people, including relatives and friends of the fifth prince and the sixth prince.

This big drama is full of ups and downs, and after Xiao Rui knew about it, it was relatively late.

At the same time, he also knew what Emperor Xia's teachings were.

First let the prince investigate the Black Lotus Sect, praise loudly when there is a little success, and then when he began to purge the Black Lotus Sect, he pulled out a series of problematic names, so ruthless that the prince slapped himself in the face, when they faced the relatives who were related to them were believers in the Black Lotus Sect, how should the prince choose?

This is the teaching, this is the teaching.

At the same time, Xiao Rui couldn't help but admire Emperor Xia's high skills, which not only educated the prince but also made them understand that in front of national politics, anyone who violates the law is unforgivable, even if he is your relatives and friends!

This is the ruthlessness that a qualified emperor should have.

In addition, it also made the prince a knife in the hands of Emperor Xia, and he could mercilessly slaughter criminal courtiers, because there was a prince in front of him, and he stayed out of the matter.

Third, it is Jia Xu's speculation, which should be a kind of subtle warning from Emperor Xia: I didn't allow you to secretly form a gang, everyone has to be honest. As a future king, it is necessary to look at the overall situation, judge the situation, and endure loneliness.

Now only Xiao Yiheng, Xiao Yuan, and Xiao Ming have fallen into the pit, but you must know that there are four rosters of the Black Lotus Sect, and the names of the other three rosters must have nothing to do with other princes?

Even Xiao Rui suspects that his distant relatives may be involved.

Because if the Black Lotus Sect is really controlled by the Night King, it must be the first choice to gather the emperor's relatives, especially the prince's relatives, and they will not let it go.

Of course, these were all speculations by Xiao Rui and Jia Xu, because from the beginning, Emperor Xia only asked the princes to look for Xiao Heding, instead of investigating the Black Lotus Sect.

It was all the princes who were attracted by the Black Lotus Sect in the intelligence, and they thought that the Black Lotus Sect had something to do with Xiao Heding, and as long as the Black Lotus Sect was investigated, Xiao Heding would be found.

So Emperor Xia didn't say much, it was the princes who learned a lesson by themselves.

This is the genius of Emperor Xia.

Jia Xu suspected that Emperor Xia had already investigated the Black Lotus Sect, and he didn't do it for a long time, just because he wanted to fatten up and kill again, and now it seems that well, the fat ones can't walk.

In two days, Jin Yiwei arrested more than 20 court officials, and it is worth mentioning that one of them turned out to be another messenger, so he contributed another roster, and then the more exciting face-slapping activity continued.

The younger brother of the maternal grandfather of the fourth prince Xiao Feng turned out to be in the roster.

Oh my goodness.

Xiao Feng was also confused.

I just stabbed my brother and stabbed myself in the backhand?

His maternal grandfather also came to intercede: "Feng'er, your maternal grandfather and I are my own brother, he was deceived into the Black Lotus Sect by mistake, not willingly, why don't you go to Emperor Xia to intercede?" ”

The corners of Xiao Feng's mouth twitched, although he usually has a tendon, he is very smart this time. You don't want to beg for mercy for the British duke, I'm going to go, how will my father fix me, an inconsistent prince?

So Xiao Feng did what he was best at, directly entered the palace to ask for guilt, and implored his father to severely punish the villains of the Black Lotus Sect!

Emperor Xia praised Xiao Feng greatly, which made Xiao Feng, who was originally nervous, excited, and more understood that only by adhering to justice can he be recognized.

It should be mentioned that the third prince Xiao Ze also has relatives involved in this matter, but he is lazy and too lazy to ask. His grandfather was knowledgeable and didn't bother him at all.

At this time, only the eldest prince Xiao Lie, the seventh prince Xiao Rui and the ninth prince Xiao Yan were out of the matter.

Don't forget, there are two rosters as well.

Xiao Rui seriously suspected that Emperor Xia was playing chess.

And in the past few days, Wei Guang and Peony in the five-spice boneless grilled chicken shop still haven't moved, and the spies in the East Factory are a little impatient, and they begin to wonder if they are monitoring the wrong person.

Xiao Rui was also a little anxious, but Jia Xu told him to wait! Hold your horses!

Now that everyone in the Black Lotus Sect is shouting and fighting, Wei Guang and Peony are also anxious, so they don't dare to act without permission, on the other hand, the arrest of the people of the Black Lotus Sect also makes them anxious, and they will not miss the Wu Battle Method! If the assassination of Emperor Xia can be successful, the Black Lotus Sect will be destroyed, so what's the big deal.

The time came to the twenty-third day of the task assigned by the system.

Wei Guang and Peony finally acted.

Today they did not do business, but went out of town early in the morning.

The two spies of the East Factory secretly followed, although Wei Guang and Peony were good at martial arts, but they were not proficient in anti-reconnaissance capabilities, so they did not pay attention to the tailgating of the tracking master.

At the same time, Xiao Rui also borrowed five masters, who were the forbidden army masters who protected Xiao Yan, and went out of the city with Wu Zhanfa, and chased after them according to the clues left by the spies.

Twenty miles away in the south of the capital, there is a Buddhist temple, called "Lotus Temple", the temple has few small monks, is not famous, and there are almost no pilgrims. And Wei Guang and Peony walked into this temple.

It didn't take long for the five Wu Zhanfa people to also come to the Lotus Temple, and they did not enter, but hid around the temple.

But it was said that Wei Guang and Peony entered the Lotus Temple, visited the old abbot inside, and said, "Abbot, let's find Master Yuanzhen." ”

The abbot was cleaning with a broom, and he didn't raise his head, and said, "Senior brother, he is meditating in front of the pagoda, so go by yourself." ”

"Yes!" Wei Guang and Peony immediately walked towards the back of the temple, the Lotus Temple is very small, past the front hall, it is the inner house, after the inner house, the backyard is a small vegetable garden, and there is a dilapidated stupa in the courtyard.

At this time, in front of the pagoda, an old monk was sitting quietly.

Wei Guang and Peony came and said respectfully: "Sage! ”

The old monk didn't raise his head and asked, "Why are you here?" Didn't I tell you that if it wasn't a big thing, Hugh would come to the poor monks. ”

Wei Guang said: "Sage, more than twenty days ago, a forbidden army came to us and said that he was a believer you planted in the forbidden army back then, and now he is on duty in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and he has been close to Emperor Xia, and ordered the two of us to report this matter to you." ”

"Huh?"

The old monk groaned softly, and a smile appeared on his slightly stunned face.

"There is a guest outside the temple, go and invite him in to entertain him." The old monk said leisurely.

“？？” Wei Guang and Peony scratched their heads and walked out of the Lotus Temple.
