The hour had passed, and the Qingxue Pavilion was still lit, and the candlelight was flickering, reflecting the figures of the two women on the window paper. The occasional owl call from outside the palace walls made the already quiet Yohei a little mysterious.

Zhu Wanqing looked at the sleepy Ling'er on the side and sighed helplessly. Before, Pang Sanbiao sent a message saying that the detailed investigation results could be sent in two days, and the result was only four days, so I am afraid that something went wrong.

After Zhang Xiaohu intercepted the secret report, he neither reported it to Zhang Hanwen as soon as possible, nor did he immediately give it to Zhu Wanqing, and he was constantly struggling in his heart in the past few days.

Tonight is the deadline, and Zhang Xiaohu must make a choice. Either hide Zhang's crime and let the people of Langcheng continue to suffer, or let Zhu Wanqing do justice, but at the same time, it will also make her uncle irreversible.

With the secret report in his hand, he paced back and forth in front of the Qingxue Pavilion, wanting to enter several times, but each time he stopped without taking two steps.

What to do? What to do? What the hell am I here for? Why did I do what I thought was right after I went down the mountain, but I only attracted the disdainful eyes of the people around me, even Murong Xiaosui was petitioning for the victims, but I still had the selfishness to cover up and connive.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohu couldn't help but secretly scolded himself: "What kind of young man are you, phew!" Martial arts are not as good as others, and the mind is not as good as others. ”

Murong Xiaosui seems to have become a knot in Zhang Xiaohu's heart, in his imagination, Murong should be a complete villain, and he should be the object of being cleaned up by him, a righteous young man.

And the reality is that in the eyes of others, the distinction between good and evil between the two of them is still up for debate, and when it comes to martial arts, it is obvious that Murong is pressing him, and he only succeeds by stabbing him in the back while others are unprepared.

Alas! No, you can't be wrong again and again!

Zhang Xiaohu gritted his teeth and walked firmly towards the inside.

At this time, Zhu Wanqing and Ling'er had fallen asleep together, and Zhang Xiaohu coughed lightly twice.

Zhu Wanqing opened her eyes slightly, and dimly saw Zhang Xiaohu standing in front of her with a solemn expression, she couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly woke up Ling'er on the side.

When Ling'er saw Zhang Xiaohu's appearance, she thought that he was here to kill people for Yao Ge Lao, and couldn't help shouting: "You, what are you doing?" Came in silently in the middle of the night. With that, he picked up the teacup on the side and was ready to throw it out as a weapon.

Zhang Xiaohu didn't expect the two of them to be so nervous, so he hurriedly said: "The little one disturbed the princess and Sister Ling, please forgive you." ”

"Zhang Xiaohu, are you here for something?" Zhu Wanqing pressed the teacup that Ling'er held in the air.

"Captain Pang's secret report to you is with me." Zhang Xiaohu handed the letter forward.

Zhu Wanqing didn't pick it up immediately, she asked carefully, "Why is it here with you?" Have you read the content? ”

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

Zhu Wanqing gasped, and at this time, her little heart had already jumped to her throat. It is not too much to say that this is a moment of death and death, Zhang Xiaohu's choice of side determines the direction of the situation.

"Then why did you hand it over to me?" Zhu Wanqing's slightly trembling voice betrayed her uneasy emotions.

"Master Sanchi Zhenren taught me that the great man of chivalry is for the country and the people. The ironclad evidence is here, Xiaohu does not dare to show favoritism. With that, Zhang Xiaohu slammed his head on the ground.

Ling'er and Zhu Wanqing looked at each other, wondering if this was a deliberate attempt to lure them into the bait.

"Why did Captain Pang send me a secret message? Isn't he playing a dart game? Zhu Wanqing deliberately pretended to be confused for the sake of insurance.

"It's like, you don't know him, why are you running errands for him?" Ling'er asked.

Zhang Xiaohu seemed to see the distrust of the two, and then pulled out the embroidered spring knife, and the knife surface emitted a cold glow through the moonlight, and Zhu Wanqing, who was flashing, couldn't open her eyes.

"What do you want to do, come here!" Ling'er couldn't help but scream.

Burst!

I saw Zhang Xiaohu raise the knife in his hand, and cut off the little finger of his left hand.

The blood from the wound flowed, staining Xiaohu's original white robe, and he was in unbearable pain, and beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping down his forehead.

"I, Zhang Xiaohu, have made a determination to be determined by the princess in the future, and I will not swerve until death." After speaking, Xiaohu tore off a piece of white cloth, wrapped his hands and left.

Zhu Wanqing and Ling'er were already frightened, looking at the severed fingers and letters scattered on the ground, the two of them were like dreams, how could there be such a thing?

......

After Zhu Wanqing read the secret report, she wrote in detail the charges of the Taishi Party about the crimes committed in Langcheng on a piece of brocade silk, and asked Ling'er to sew it into Huang Xie's old clothes and bring it to him.

Everything is going very smoothly, everything that should be prepared and explained has been done, just waiting for the emperor and his old man's fiftieth birthday to arrive.

......

Yao Bingyong is also preparing for the birthday banquet, of course, what they are thinking about is not preparing any birthday gifts, but thinking about how to fabricate charges and put the prince to death.

Yao Bingyong called He Dawei, who was also in the cabinet, and his son Yao Xiangfan to discuss the matter. Of course, the marriage between the princess and Zhang Hanwen had to be told to him in advance, so Zhang Hanwen was also called.

Several people met on a big boat in Beihai Lake, and there was no Jinyiwei's eyes and ears here, so it was more suitable for this kind of meeting.

Although Hua Changluo and Yao Bingyong are currently in the same group, in the power struggle between the DPRK and China, only interests maintain friendly relations, and there is no emotion to talk about. So it's always right to have a little less handle in the hands of others, and maybe one day people will be able to use this as a basis for you.

The big ship sailed from the shore and drifted towards the center of the lake.

Zhang Hanwen's level is not enough to participate in the affairs of the crown prince, he can only add tea and cut fruit plates for the three cabinet ministers on the side.

"Lao He, last time you said that the prince had fornicated with the Tatars, and he had already sat down, why didn't he report it to the emperor?" Yao Xiangfan said while playing with a snuffbox.

Although this person is nearly forty years old, he was awarded a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and concurrently serves as the head of the household, but in private, he still behaves like a gentleman, Yao Bingyong shook his head when he saw it.

"Then don't blame you little pavilion elder!" He Dawei pursed his lips and said, "How many times have you said that the prince has fornicated with foreign enemies before?" The emperor's ears were calloused, but when was it not a time when the wind was blowing? This time, I finally intercepted their correspondence, but the emperor was stunned and didn't even let out a fart, so he didn't know that there was such a thing. ”

He Dawei is also the secretary of the military department, and there are people he has installed in the hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers in Datong Town, and they always pay attention to the movements of the prince.

"Alas, pay attention to what you say, this emperor fart is also what you can say?" Yao Xiangfan saw that the pot was thrown on him, and quickly opened the topic.

"At present, the emperor has become wary of the crown prince, especially not long ago, he led his troops eastward to the capital, and the emperor was very touched by this. The reason why the saint has not acted now is because he thinks of the relationship between father and son, as well as the relationship between him and the late queen. The second is that he is about to have a big birthday, so he has to wait until he finishes his birthday before he does it. "Yao Bingyong is the first assistant after all, and he can best guess the emperor's thoughts.

"What then? How can I miss such a good opportunity, if I don't make a move now, when the prince returns to Datong to train more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, I will have no chance. He Dawei said.

"Yo, you're in a hurry at this time, I think it wasn't your bad idea to let the prince go to Datong to talk about training, and now people and the general soldiers of Datong are almost gone!" Yao Xiangfan finally pulled back a game.

Yao Bingyong saw that the two of them had been talking for a long time and didn't come up with an idea, so he bit each other first, and couldn't help sighing.

Zhang Hanwen listened to it on the side, and he didn't speak, just silently added tea to the three adults.

"Okay, listen to it if you want to, don't come over for a while, this water is all over the coffee table." Yao Xiangfan said when he saw this.

Yao Bingyong laughed a few times and asked Zhang Hanwen: "In your opinion, how can you make the emperor make this determination now?" And you have to be in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, the emperor's relatives and relatives. ”

Zhang Hanwen thought for a moment and said lightly: "Teacher Fang Cai said two points, one is to miss the old love, and the other is that the timing is not right. Then let's just solve them one by one. ”

"What kind of solution, do you say?" Yao Xiangfan looked down on Zhang Hanwen, who was born in a poor family.

"In fact, there is a way to solve these two problems at the same time, but ......" Looking at Zhang Hanwen's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, He Dawei is also going crazy, and he calls you to say it quickly.

"It's just that this trick is too dirty." Zhang Hanwen whispered.

"I don't care if it's dirty or not, as long as the emperor can abolish the prince in front of the minister of civil and military affairs this time, I can do anything." Yao Bingyong glanced at Zhang Hanwen after speaking.

Zhang Hanwen immediately went up and told Yao Bingyong about this trick.

He Dawei and Yao Xiangfan stretched their necks, but they didn't hear anything, so anxious that he pulled his clothes and stomped his feet.

After Yao Bingyong listened, a strange expression appeared on his face, and it took a long time before he burst out laughing: "Zhang Hanwen, Zhang Hanwen, you are still a scholar, how can you come up with such a dirty thing!" ”
