Later that day, Yu Yao returned to the Imperial Garden.

When Youwei and Yu Yao saw each other, they had to hug their heads and cry again, and then tell them what they had encountered and recounted in the past few days.

On the second day, everyone in Xingzhou City received the emperor's holy decree: Yin Tianshu was ordered to serve as the minister of the Qincha and take charge of the Yin Annihilation Incident in Zhongli Mansion in Xingzhou City and the murder of Dong's Yuqiao.

However, whether Wen Cang can get away with his sins, the holy decree does not mention a word.

At the same time, the imperial edict showing the immortality of the eldest princess of Yong'an has also been promulgated. Youwei and Yu Yao can already return to Bianliang in a dignified manner.

In the main hall of the Imperial Garden, the princess and the concubine sat upright, and Yin Tianshu sat down and replied.

Youwei said: "Lord Yin, Gongzi Wen is a friend of life and death between the palace and the concubine, and was invited to come to the Great Zhou to serve the imperial brother, but now he is in prison. The imperial brother's holy decree did not mention anything about Gongzi Wen, how can this be good? ”

Yin Tianshu said: "The entire Yin family in Zhongli Mansion was killed, the situation is serious, and Gongzi Wen still has major suspicions. Imagine that even the emperor would not dare to ignore the law and let people go easily. ”

Youwei said: "The palace was assassinated by an assassin that day, and Lord Yin, General Li, and many sergeants have seen the assassin's skills. The murder of Zhongli Mansion Yin's family must have been his doing. Since there are other suspects, can't Wen Gongzi's suspicion be cleared? ”

Yin Tianshu said: "Yes, the assassin's martial arts on that day were amazing, if he made a move, everyone in Zhongli's mansion would be killed with a sword." However, the Yin Mansion of Zhongli Mansion is full of civil officials and female dependents who do not know martial arts, and even the little servants who care for the family and the nursing home are only rough and stupid fists and feet, which cannot be compared with martial arts masters, even if there are other masters in Xingzhou City, it cannot be said that it was the assassin of that day. In addition to Gongzi Wen, Yu Concubine, the minion himself, and his Qinglong Qisu all have such ability. The minions had already carefully examined it, and the saber that Wen Gongzi was carrying was stained with blood. And the size of Zhongli Mansion Yin's family's wounds is also very consistent with the width of Wen Gongzi's sword. Therefore, Wen Gongzi is deeply involved in it, and it is naturally difficult to escape from it. ”

Youwei said: "When the Japanese palace was assassinated, you stepped forward to protect you and grabbed the assassin's sword blade with both hands. You should really see that the sword used by the assassin is very similar to the length and size of Wen Gongzi's Chengying sword. Besides, the swords of the world, if they are wide and narrow, are generally very similar. Unless it's as delicate as a horse's jade belt sword, it's different. ”

Yin Tianshu said: "What the princess said, the slave understands. The slave is also convinced that with the character of Prince Wen, he will definitely not do such a thing. It's just that due to the law of the imperial court, he can only wait for the real culprit to be captured in order to return the innocence of Prince Wen. ”

Youwei hurriedly said: "Catch the real murderer? It's not that you don't know that the assassin has a skill, he came and went without a trace, how to capture it? If the evidence is conclusive, why was the colt free? ”

Yin Tianshu said: "The weapon is difficult to distinguish, but the palm power is traceable. The slave can prove that the palm that shattered the heart of the eldest lady of the Dong family was definitely not the Yu family's dream palm. ”

Youwei still wanted to argue again, but Yu Yao secretly said in her ear: "Let's talk about this later, do you have to lock me up and Wen Cang?" ”

Youwei had no choice but to keep silent.

Yu Yao said: "Listening to what the princess and Lord Yin said, that assassin is strong in martial arts, unmatched, if he doesn't take the initiative to show up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find his traces." Wouldn't it be a long way to unravel this case completely? ”

Yin Tianshu said: "Yu Yuma is right. Therefore, it is better to ask the eldest princess and the concubine to leave for Beijing immediately, and leave the murder in Xingzhou City to the minions. The minion promised that he would pursue the assassin with all his might, and before the assassin was caught, Wen Gongzi was only suspected of living in prison, and would not be hastily charged, so his life would not be at risk. ”

Youwei said: "The three of us have gone through hardships, and it was not easy for us to get out of the Han Dynasty and return to China, how could we leave Gongzi Wen here to wait for death and return to Beijing alone as soon as we arrived in Xingzhou?" ”

Youwei's tone was sad and desperate, if Yin Tianshu wasn't there, she would almost cry.

Yu Yao gently comforted her and reminded her quietly: "The princess is a thousand bodies, and you must not be moved by these things. Let's go on the road first, and Lord Yin will not need to escort him, but he will be able to have more people to track down the truth of the murder. ”

Youwei looked at Yu Yao, his eyes were full of determination and confidence.

Yin Tianshu said: "What Yu Ma said is very true, it is better to send the eldest princess and the concubine to Beijing early tomorrow morning." Fang Ritu and Xinyue Fox are daughters, and it is convenient to serve along the way, so they let them dress up as maids and return to Beijing with the eldest princess, and protect the eldest princess on the way, and the servants are more at ease. ”

Yu Yao said: "There is a careful arrangement by Lord Lao Yin. Then we will leave for Beijing tomorrow. ”

Yin Tianshu left the imperial garden satisfied, but Youwei was so angry that she tore off the curtain and threw it on the ground when she stepped into the dormitory.

Youwei is a good character on weekdays, and she is the most approachable, as long as the meat and food are well supplied, she will have nothing to say. The palace people who accompanied her had never seen her lose her temper so much, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything.

Yu Yao smiled and said to the frightened palace people: "The princess is angry with me, you don't have to be afraid, go down, you don't have to wait here." ”

The palace people are accustomed to serving nobles, so they naturally know the truth that the master should not get close when he is angry, and when they heard Yu Yao's words, they all ran away as fast as if they were pardoned.

Yu Yao approached Youwei with a smile and said, "Look, it's all scared people. ”

Youwei said angrily: "That Yin Tianshu, he said it well yesterday, why did he change his face when he became the minister of the Qin Mission today?" How can I not be angry! ”

Yu Yao sat down by the tea table, still poured himself a cup of tea, and said after drinking it: "He naturally has a reason for changing his face, but it is not because of the minister. ”

Youwei said: "What is the reason for that? ”

Yu Yao said: "This Yin Tianshu is the emperor's retainer and only obeys the emperor's orders. He saved you to obey the emperor's order, and if he released me, he also obeyed the emperor's order, so he locked up Wen Cang, and naturally obeyed the emperor's order. ”

Hearing Yu Yao say this, the anger in Youwei's heart disappeared by half, so she asked: "If you say so, it is the emperor who doesn't let Wen Cang out?" ”

Yu Yao nodded and said, "Who is Wen Cang?" The owner of the famous Linglong Villa. Although Linglong Villa has fallen into the hands of the Han court, the appeal of the descendants of the Wen family in the martial arts is still there. If the wind is released in the future, Wen Cang wants to rebuild Linglong Villa in the Great Zhou, and there will be more martial arts heroes to come and join him, which will be beneficial to the emperor's grand cause of unifying the territory. For such a rare talent, why didn't the emperor issue an amnesty? It is also very secretive about this matter in the holy decree. Have you thought about the reason for this? ”

Youwei thought for a moment and said, "Since there is such a big benefit to retaining Wen Cang, and the emperor still locks him up, does that mean that there is a greater benefit to keeping him in check?" ”

Yu Yao said: "Not bad. Keeping him in lockdown, but making us return to Beijing immediately, the biggest advantage of this is that it can separate you from Wen Cang. That's why I didn't let you say much, the more you pleaded for him and showed a look of concern, the longer Wen Cang would be locked up and the faster he would die. ”

Youwei said embarrassedly: "How does the emperor know...... I ......"

Yu Yao said: "The emperor doesn't know, the emperor is afraid." Actually, it's not you, it's Yong'an. Wen Cang's martial arts are all the best in the world, and he has the same appearance as Song Yu Pan An, you and him have gone through life and death together, if I am the emperor, I will not be unguarded. The emperor is afraid that Yong'an and Wen Cang will secretly fall in love, and this first move is to separate the two of you. If you don't care, leave for Beijing with me immediately, and the emperor may release him soon. But if you insist on staying in Xingzhou, or explicitly ask for advice for Wen Cang, even if the emperor will release him, he will find another reason to arrest him or kill him directly. ”
