Volume 1 Bully me, insult me, I can't bear it Chapter 410 The thief shouts to catch the thief

Yuan Cheng smiled faintly, "The two of them are waiting outside the mansion gate?" ”

"Exactly." Hesitating to say it, preferring to be cautious, the chief butler spoke, "My lord, although I see that although they are polite, their intentions are a little unkind, so I sent everyone to investigate, and the guards actually guarded all the gates. ”

Mo Zi also felt that something was wrong, "Wei Jia and Li Ren are responsible for tracking down the three assassins who escaped from the assassination of the emperor today. At this hour, it is indeed strange to bring troops to our door. Could it be that the assassins could still hide in this mansion? ”

These words reminded Yuan Cheng, and he immediately asked the chief butler, "Is there any change in the house today?" ”

The big butler shook his head, "You and Miss Mozi are not at home, and the day is quiet. ”

No one noticed, and when the chief butler replied like this, a small man behind him shrank back, and his face was empty.

Yuan Cheng said to Mo Zi, "You go back and do your thing, I'll take a look." Since the whole city is under martial law, it may just be a routine search. ”

"At this time, what else can I do to live, I am a man of God. Wait, I'll go with you. Mo Zi ran in, and after a while, ran out again, "Let's go." ”

When I arrived at the gate of the house, I saw a long line of torches. The sound of horses' hooves was a little impatient, and the tapping was frequent. As far as the eye could see, there were about 100 people, and if the upper part was half hidden in the firelight, I am afraid that there would be more than 300 people. Mo Zi's heart jumped, feeling ominous.

"Elder Li Ge, General Wei, I don't know what is important about visiting late at night?" Yuan Cheng's expression was indifferent, polite and polite.

"Lord Yuan." When Li Ren saw Mo Zi, he nodded slightly as a greeting, "This official and General Wei Xiao were ordered to arrest the assassin, I think you have heard of it." ”

Yuan Cheng bowed, "Not bad." The Assassins dared to blatantly commit murder against the Emperor, which made people feel angry, and hoped that the two would arrest them as soon as possible. I wonder how it's going? ”

Mo Zi took advantage of the fact that they were talking, and made eye contact with Wei Jia.

Wei Jia raised her eyebrows and shook her head slightly.

Mo Zi knew that things were really bad—but the question was, where was the not?

"Of the three who escaped, one has been caught by us, and according to his confession, he is from the mansion of Lord Yuan." Li Ren looked at Yuan Cheng with unpredictable eyes on his face.

The servants of the Yuan Mansion were shocked and looked at each other.

"What?!" Mo Zi blurted out, "It's true!" ”

Yuan Cheng took a step forward, his right arm blocking her behind, "Elder Li Ge, the assassin said he came from my mansion?" ”

Li Ren and Yuan Cheng have a good relationship, so his tone is always not evil, "Exactly." However, the official also knew that one person's words were not to be believed, but since he said so, he had to come to Lord Yuan's place. If Lord Yuan doesn't mind, can you ask the official to take someone to search for it? It's also a routine. ”

Yuan Cheng's eyes were as inky as night, but he smiled slightly, "If the lower officials mind, don't they have ghosts in their hearts?" Li Ge Lao only searched for it, and the lower officials should fully cooperate. ”

Li Ren dismounted, "Lord Yuan is so frank, and the official is even more relieved." ”

He said to Wei Jia again, "The general asked the soldiers to be careful when searching, don't damage valuable things, and don't take advantage of the chaos to be greedy." This is not going to an ordinary person's house, but to the official mansion of the Sanpin Imperial Court, don't be arrogant. ”

Wei Jia said yes, ordered the Sixth Route Soldiers, and when he passed by Mo Zi, he looked helpless and went to the mansion.

"Elder Li Ge, this mansion is not small, you might as well wait in the main hall, and the lower officials can also serve tea." Yuan Cheng invited people inside.

"It's fine." Li Ren instructed the officers and soldiers guarding the door not to let anyone enter or leave, so he followed Yuan Cheng to the main hall of hospitality.

Although there was a lot of turmoil outside, Li Ren and Yuan Cheng had nothing to do with it, and they were still discussing the death of the prince.

Li Ren sighed, "The crown prince has not yet grown up as the second prince, and there is no successor to the Great Zhou, which makes people feel unfounded and panicked." ”

Although the crown prince's death was very sudden and shocking, as officials, their grief was very limited. Of course, this is because the prince is mediocre and has no virtue and low popularity, but also because he is the prince after all, and as long as the emperor is still there, he can feel a little at ease.

Yuan Cheng said, "Fortunately, the emperor is healthy, in the prime of life, the heirs are promising, and the second prince has time to cultivate." ”

Li Ren gathered his black beard, "The words are good, but the official is worried about another thing." The crown prince was killed by the Great Request, and I don't know if the emperor will go to war because of this. ”

"Listening to the meaning of the elder pavilion, it seems that he doesn't want the emperor to do that." Yuan Cheng glanced at Mo Zi and looked at Li Ren.

"It's hateful to ask for people. The envoy was arrogant and disrespectful, and I knew that nothing good could be said about it. Now they have harmed my noble prince of the Great Zhou, it is unjustifiable not to break up, and it is necessary to make trouble. However, the great quest for national fortune is flourishing, the soldiers and horses are brave and good at fighting, and even the weakness of the water war has turned strong, and it is really hard to say whether Da Zhou can have an absolute chance of winning. In my opinion, it is prudent to denounce this. Li Ren's statement represents the conservative faction.

Yuan Cheng lowered his eyes and was silent.

"What does Lord Yuan think?" But Li Ren still asked.

"Elder Ge, it's not that the lower officials don't say it, it's just that there is really no position to say it at this time. Outside, he was looking for fellow Assassins. "Idle talk is idle chatter, and political opinions are not to be discussed.

"Lord Yuan's personality and official know that it is impossible to assassinate the emperor, presumably the assassin saw that the emperor was fine, so he wanted to drag the innocent into the water. Lord Yuan has been quite trusted by the emperor recently, and it is undoubtedly an excellent target. Even if you really find something, there are so many people in your house, it's hard to guarantee that there are no stealing jiān tricks, and they may not have anything to do with adults. Li Ren said it very clearly.

Mo Zi muttered in her heart, watching the TV show, searching for evidence, regardless of whether the other party is a prince and general, it is bound to make chickens and dogs jump, and people will turn over on their backs, scaring the family who was searched into fear, like a frightened expression of the end of the world. Why did she encounter a gentle drizzle, the searched and the searched drank tea and chatted, and she couldn't hear the noise outside.

After being quiet for a while, almost thinking that it was an assassin's prank, Wei Jia strode in. His brow tightened, and there was a man behind him who was tied up with a lot of flowers, allowing two officers and soldiers to push in.

After Mo Zi saw the man clearly, she heard her heart sink fiercely. Careless! She had forgotten that there was such a person, and thought that out of sight she was quiet.

Who is that man? It is Yuan Cheng's nominal aunt, and the actual mother, Kyaukniang!

Mo Lance immediately went to see Yuan Cheng, but found that his expression was still warm and light, as if he had expected the sudden appearance of Jiaoniang.

Li Ren stood up and asked Wei Jia, "Who is this?" ”

Wei Jia was embarrassed, but he had to say, "I found this woman in the courtyard on the north side, she was dressed in assassin black, and the wound on her shoulder matched the sword wound described by Qian Niuwei. I made a few moves with her, and she was defeated, and ...... And ......"

"And what?" Li Ren asked hurriedly.

At this time, a strange smile appeared on Yuan Cheng's face.

Jiaoniang was already staring at him fiercely, but when she saw him laughing, her intuition was mockery, and she couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, her face was heavy, and Sen said coldly, "And I have confessed to the mastermind of the assassination of the emperor." ”

Mo Zi's eyes narrowed, and his hands unconsciously turned into fists.

"It's Lord Motocheng Yuan sitting next to you." Jiaoniang pulled out a cruel smile, "He and I are both members of the Yuan family who were destroyed by the first emperor. He is the youngest son of the Yuan family, and I am the aunt of the side branch. Over the years, he has been the prime minister in Nande and has always been against the Great Zhou. I stayed near Shangdu, incognito, and cultivated killers.

After he lost power, he fled back to Shangdu, deceived the emperor and became an official again, in fact, he has been secretly looking for an opportunity for revenge. Yesterday, he knew that the emperor was going to leave the palace, so he told me that the time had come, and ordered me to lay down the killer on the road and take the life of the dog emperor. Unexpectedly, the emperor walked with his concubine and brought a thousand cow guards to protect him, which led to the failure of the operation. ”

Li Ren couldn't help but walk towards Wei Jia, and after being some distance away from Yuan Cheng, he asked him, "Lord Yuan, do you have anything to say?" ”

Yuan Cheng still sat still, "Elder Li Ge, what you just said is not credible, even if you really found something, it may have nothing to do with me." Xia Guan admitted that she was my distant aunt, but I didn't know anything about the assassination of the emperor. The emperor knew the identity of the lower officials, and it was the emperor who asked me to thoroughly investigate the Yuan family's rebellion case. Now that this case is about to come to light, Li Ge Lao, you have also agreed that the Yuan family's destruction is an unjust case, in this case, why do I still want people to assassinate the emperor? ”

Li Ren was right to think about it, but, "She is your aunt, why did she wronged you?" ”

"My aunt recognized me by the things left by my parents back then, and after many years, it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. I think it is also desolate to be alone, if someone volunteers to be a member of the Yuan family, why should I suspect that she has other intentions, so I will treat her as a distant aunt. She didn't tell me that she was training killers, I just thought she was guarding the grave for my Yuan family, and she barely interacted with each other. When I traveled with the emperor to worship the sky, she had come to live in the house, and a few days ago I saw her bullying people in the house, and she was angry for a while, so I let her go. This matter is known from top to bottom in the house, and the elder will know it as soon as he asks. Moreover, I also felt that her physical condition was different, and sometimes she lost her temper and even denied me, as if she was crazy. Who knows, she actually went to assassinate the emperor and framed me for being an old man. Yuan Cheng got up after speaking, "I am willing to enter the palace with the elder of the pavilion to face the saint, and the emperor will decide." ”

Li Ren looked at Yuan Cheng, who was calm and relaxed, and then looked at Jiaoniang, who was wearing a cloak and eyes red with blood, although he was uncertain, his heart was biased towards the former, "If Lord Yuan is willing to go with me to see the emperor, then it would be the best." ”

Kyauniang was a little crazy, "Why don't you tie him up?" He's the mastermind, he's going to kill the Dog Emperor. ”

Wei Jia glared at her, "Is Lord Yuan the mastermind or not, can you just say it?" ”

said that Kyaukniang was crazy, and she suddenly fell silent again, "I have his father's and mother's belongings as a letter, which can confirm my kinship with him." I collected the corpses and built a grave for more than 100 people in the Yuan family, if it doesn't matter, why do I have to do this? I raised killers to train assassins and assassinate the emperor, that is the crime of losing my head, I am not a member of the Yuan family, am I still chivalrous? I am both a member of the Yuan family and a member of the Yuan family, and based on this alone, he cannot be innocent! When I see the emperor, I am not afraid. ”

Jiaoniang's red eyes that died together made Mo Zi's whole body chill.
