Half a month later, in Jinyiwei's interrogation center, a small eunuch was being tied to a wooden shelf and tortured.

Behind the table across from him sat Shen Liang, Shen Liang's skull had not fully recovered after being smashed out of a pit by Murong, and his head was still wrapped in bandages and medicine.

"Huang Xie, are you still unwilling to recruit?" Shen Liang waited for the jailer to finish whipping and asked Huang Xie, who had only one breath left.

"I've never poisoned a dish, and Lord Xu has never instructed me to do such a thing." Huang Xie's face had been beaten to the point that he was no longer human, and he couldn't open his eyes, and he raised his head with difficulty and said to Shen Liang.

"Hmph, I'm really surprised that you're so capable of resisting as a eunuch. It's just that you're still quibbling now, so it's too futile, so it's better to recruit it earlier and suffer less. Shen Liang got up and picked up the red-hot soldering iron on the side and looked at it.

"If you recruit you to die, if you don't recruit you will die, why should I put Master Xu in it, you can kill me now." Huang Xie spat out blood and smiled at Shen Liang.

"Even if you die, Xu Guangyan can't get out of it. On the emperor's birthday, you pretended to accompany Xu Guangyan to change his clothes and privately discussed with him and conspired to poison the Seventh Prince, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military can see it, you are still quibbling? Shen Liang said as Huang Xie, who was burning with a soldering iron, shouted heartbreakingly.

After a long time, Huang Xie lowered his head and said with his last strength: "No, it's just nothing." With that, he fainted.

At this time, Hua Changluo, who had been listening to the interrogation in the room, walked out.

"Governor." Shen Liang saluted his boss.

"What's the matter, are you still refusing to recruit?" Hua Changluo said with the floating dust to drive away the smell of blood around him.

"Governor, in less than three days, I will let him speak." Shen Liang knew that it was not good to do things, so he hurriedly said.

Hua Changluo has long been accustomed to Shen Liang's style, one thing in front of him and one thing behind him, posing in front of him to make Huang Xiequ make a move, and he may be deliberately protecting him behind his back.

In fact, Hua Changluo didn't want to replace Shen Liang, but the big and small affairs of this brocade guard were inseparable from his experience. Moreover, the backbone of Jinyiwei are all apprentices brought out by Shen Liang, all of them are loyal to Shen Liang, and they can't even find a traitor seedling, which can be described as impeccable.

So nominally, Hua Changluo is the leader of Dongchang Jinyiwei, and he is Shen Liang's boss, but in fact, Shen Liang is more directly obedient to the emperor's dispatch, and Hua Changluo plays Tai Chi if he can, and if he can't go on, he will sell him as a waste.

"Then you hurry up, go back to the emperor and ask about the case, if there is no progress at all, you and I will not be able to explain." The flowers often fall as if to warn him.

......

In Ziyuan's study, the emperor was admiring calligraphy and paintings, and suddenly a eunuch ran into the door and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince, he is dying." ”

"What?" The Emperor stood up abruptly, shocked.

"This morning, the Seventh Prince can't eat, and now there is only one breath left, and the imperial doctor said that it will be in these two hours." The little eunuch lay on the ground and cried.

"Move to Huiyi Palace!" The emperor dropped the scroll in his hand and hurried to visit.

In Huiyi Palace, Concubine Shu was holding Zhu Huanyu's hand and crying continuously, seeing that this person was getting cold little by little, and others had no way at all.

"The emperor has arrived!"

"Your Majesty, you are here, you must save my child!" Concubine Shu couldn't care about the emperor's demeanor when she saw it, and cried and shouted to hold the emperor's leg.

"Lady Concubine, don't be like this, help her up." The emperor asked Hua Changluo to drag people up first, and before they died, they were out of character.

"Where's the Imperial Doctor?" The Emperor asked aloud.

"The lower official is here." The old imperial doctor trembled and knelt down.

"How could the Seventh Prince not work? How did you do it? The Emperor asked.

"Back to the emperor, one of the seven princes is the poison, the bird is a kind of sacred bird, its feathers are highly poisonous, soaked in any food soup to become poisonous soup. Whoever is poisoned by this poison will surely die, at least three or five days, and at most ten days and half a month. Fortunately, the Seven Princes induced vomiting in time that day, and now they have survived for a month, which is already the favor of God. "The old lady is bragging about it, but in fact, she wants to shirk her responsibility.

"What was poisoned that day? Where is Jinyiwei? The Emperor asked again.

"Back to the emperor, Jinyiwei came to report that it was pigeon soup that was poisonous." Flowers often fall back to the road.

"Pigeon soup? Is it the food from the Imperial Dining Room? "When the emperor said this, his murderous intent has risen.

Seeing this, Hua Changluo hurriedly answered: "It's from the imperial dining room, and the little eunuch named Huang Xie is the most suspicious, and he is now being interrogated by Shen Liang, but that kid just refuses to let go." “

"In that case, then arrest everyone in the imperial dining room and kill them all." The emperor was furious, and it was heartbreaking to look at his son who was dying on the sickbed.

"Yo, no, Your Majesty, do you think, if all the people in the imperial dining room die, wouldn't it be cheaper for some people?" Hua Changluo began to lead the troubled water to Xu Guangyan.

"Someone? Who are you? The Emperor asked.

"Those who can do poisonous things must have been instructed by someone behind them, and they have given enough benefits. Just with the eunuchs in the imperial dining room, how can they have the courage themselves, so now we have to find out the people behind them, otherwise the eunuchs will die, the clues will be broken, and the initiators behind it will not get away with it? Hua Changluo said, and the emperor kept nodding.

"Your Majesty, do you think, these seven princes are the grandsons of Yao Ge Lao, and the seven princes are dead, who is the most beneficial? And not long ago, who was unlucky, and his heart was not happy? Hua Changluo's words were directed at the abolished prince and Xu Guangyan.

The emperor's eyes widened with rage, and he said: "It is simply lawless to dare to calculate against my prince, if I don't punish him severely, I am afraid that one day they will poison my rice." ”

"The emperor is angry, the old slave will go and let Jinyiwei arrest Xu Guangyan's henchmen, and we can't let anyone who is involved in this case go." Hua Changluo has already prepared a plan for the emperor.

"King Jin, you go and send someone to call him back, and say that I want to give him the willow qin smoke as a princess." As soon as the emperor said this, Hua Changluo knew that his emperor had already killed the abolished prince.

"Yes."

As soon as Hua Changluo retreated, a heart-rending cry came from Concubine Shu's side.

"Son!"

The emperor was startled, and hurriedly went over to take a look, only to see that everyone had fallen to the ground crying, and the seventh prince Zhu Huanyu had died.

......

The next day, when Zhu Wanqing rushed back to the palace, Huiyi Palace was already hung with white cloth, and the coffins of the Seven Princes were parked inside.

Although I had expected such a day, my sister couldn't help crying.

"Where have you been these days, you dead girl, you are not there at every critical moment, you have no conscience!" Concubine Shu said and hit Zhu Wanqing twice, but fortunately she was stopped by the old grandmothers.

Zhu Wanqing knew that her mother's mood was in a period of collapse, so she would be beaten if she was beaten.

She put on sackcloth and filial piety, knelt on the side, and stayed by her mother's side.

When the prince died, many princes and ministers also came to mourn, and Xu Guangyan, who was a cabinet scholar and secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was also present. But in the eyes of this actor, should he go or not? Go, it's inevitable that there will be embarrassment and even conflict, if you don't go, you will also seem to be weak if you don't meet the etiquette, which will hurt him.

After thinking about it, Xu Guangyan still decided to go, he asked the officials of Yushitai to go with him, after all, these people are first-class in their mouths, and when they get to that end, they rub together, at least they don't fall behind.

The people of the Yao family arrived early, and they are waiting for you Xu Guangyan to come this time.

What's more, he can't wait to set up a private court, and he will be done here.

Yao Bingyong and Yao Xiangfan knew the ins and outs of the matter, they originally wanted to kill Zhu Wanqing, who didn't share her heart with herself, but they didn't expect it to be self-defeating and poison the baby prince.

But now is also an excellent opportunity to completely exterminate Xu Guangyan and his party, the so-called reluctant children can't trap wolves, since this is already the case, this play can only continue to be sung according to the current script.

Xu Guangyan and the officials entered the mourning hall to mourn, and the Yao family all stared at Xu Guangyan with angry eyes.

Xu Guangyan ignored it, first stepped forward and bowed, and then saluted the family members.

Concubine Shu didn't reply, and she didn't even look at him.

"Xu Guangyan! You don't cry in this cat and fake mercy, everyone knows that the Seven Princes were killed by your princelings! The Yao family shouted angrily.

Right!

He's a murderer!
