Chapter 30: The Drama Begins and the Secret Revealed

Early the next morning, Jin Xuansi and the others were eating, only to see the prison messenger from Dengzhou come to Su Mansion to deliver a letter, he knelt on the ground, knelt forward to Su Duan, kowtowed three times, and then stammered: "Tell Lord Su, in the prison, the three prisoners of the Yun Gang in the prison have escaped, and no trace has been found in the prison." Yes, it should be homework, after the adults of the Jinxuan Division left. ”

Sun Er hurriedly knelt down, even with all the people of Jinxuansi, Master Su slapped his hand on the dining table, and even made the prison that knelt on the ground tremble, Lord Su looked back at Shangguan Wan who was sitting on the side, and his tone changed from the usual charity to a little more blunt: "I don't know Lord Siqing, how should this matter be good, this prisoner is an important criminal of the imperial court, and it is related to the reputation of the Yun Gang and several princes, and I can't afford this matter with a small Dengzhou assassin history." ”

Before Shangguan Wan could speak, Sun Er kowtowed two heads in succession and said to Shangguan Wan: "My lord, my lord was derelict in my duty last night, and I transferred the manpower, thinking that the case has not yet begun to be carefully investigated, but let the brothers rest first, so I let the brothers rest for a night, it is the fault of my humble position." ”

Su Duan snorted coldly, although he was speaking to Sun Er, he meant Shangguan Wan, and his tone was softer than just now, but a little more sarcastic: "Everyone says that the people of Jinxuansi are cautious, and they are all martial arts masters, and they are dragons and phoenixes among people, and now Lord Siqing is in charge of Jinxuansi, and he has lost prisoners in the case of the Yun Gang, I don't know if the signboard of Jinxuansi is about to be smashed in your hands." ”

Shangguan Wan took a sip of tea before saying to Su Duan: "This responsibility is my Shangguan Wan, since I am the head of the Jinxuan Division, I will definitely bear all the responsibility, but we are the direct family of Her Majesty the Empress, and there is still no need for Lord Su to say this here." The matter will be investigated clearly, and the signboard of the Jinxuan Division will not be smashed on the boundary of Dengzhou. ”

Su Duan snorted coldly: "I just hope that Lord Shangguan will be true to his word, and he can really find out some ways, otherwise as soon as the empress is blamed, we will not be able to eat and walk around." ”

Cao Xu, who was in the suburban garden, took people to the backyard of the Su Mansion early in the morning, and Su ordered the housekeeper to take them into the secret room.

According to the plan, Sun Er took Jinxuan's people to investigate.

Qi Xin followed Shangguan Wan back to the wing room, Lin Zhange's carrier pigeon landed in the courtyard, Qi Xin hurriedly held it into the room, it was a secret letter written by Chang Ma in Beijing, Lin Zhan Pavilion people had already checked this Su Du clearly, and before the people in Dengzhou Feng Pavilion passed, Chang Mama and Yangzhou Lin Zhan Pavilion had already checked Su Duan's life clearly.

Mama Chang's secret letter wrote: Su Duan was originally a person from Shuzhong, once a jinshi, and was sent as an official to be in Dengzhou as a assassin and take charge of local affairs. He has always disliked the party struggle in the imperial court, so he has never been promoted.

Shangguan Wan closed the secret letter and said: "If Su Duan is a person from Shuzhong, then why does his accent look like a person from the north, not like a person from Shuzhong, he doesn't like party fighting, and why is he mixed with King Alcohol." In that case, this Su Duan is really an impostor. The empress once said that Her Royal Highness the King of Alcohol had a mustard with her because of the empress's sister Wu Changning, so will this Su Duan be a pawn of Wu Changning today? Or what's the matter? ”

Qi Xin was surprised: "Is the water behind this Su Duan so deep?" ”

Shangguan Wan tore up the secret letter and threw it in the brazier, and as the paper burned out, Shangguan Wan said: "Su Duan will definitely do it tonight, let's catch it all first, after that, I need to meet that Mrs. Su for a while, if you want to figure out who Su Duan is now, the intelligence depends on her, we must catch that Su Duan, so that she can rest assured that she can explain things clearly." ”

Qi Xin nodded. In the secret room, Su Duan said to Cao Xu: "Tonight, I will definitely kill that Shangguan Wan and then hurry up, so that His Royal Highness King Alcohol can rest easy, and you can be regarded as doing your duty as a courtier."

The night soon deepened, and the lights in Shangguan Wan's room went out. Su Fu Xiaowu reported to Su Duan, Su Duan entered the secret room, opened the mechanism, and the bookshelves in Shangguan Wan's room quickly separated from both sides, revealing a small door. Su Duan gave an order, Cao Xu and a few other people entered the room, and the knife was on the person on the bed.

After a few seconds, the lights in the room were lit. Shangguan Wan and Qi Xin came out of the corner, Sun Er on the bed jumped up, and the knives of Cao Xu and the others were on Su Duan's neck. Su Duan didn't believe the scene in front of him, and squinted at the knife across his neck. Gritted his teeth and said, "I fell for your tricks, Cao Xu!" How dare you betray us, betray Your Highness! ”

Before Cao Xu could speak, Shangguan Wan stepped forward and stared at Su Duan's eyes tightly: "Betrayal? If today is the world of Her Majesty the Empress, how can you betray if you do things for Her Majesty? ”

Su Duan spat to the side: "I, Your Majesty the Empress?" Now this country should belong to His Royal Highness King Alcohol, if it weren't for that demon woman, how could we plan like this! ”

King Yin and King Yin, who were behind Sun Er, stepped forward and showed the empress's card, and everyone knelt down and promised: "See His Royal Highness King Yin, His Royal Highness King Yin." ”

Su Duan laughed loudly: "I didn't expect to fall into a little girl's scheme, even His Royal Highness King Yin and His Royal Highness King Yin are here, it seems that you have already prepared." Hahaha, I lost to a girl. ”

King Yin opened his mouth and said, "I don't know whether I should call you Lord Su Dusu or Lord Qian." ”

Su Duan was stunned, and then his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared angrily, "What do you know? ”

King Yin smiled: "You killed the real Lord Su Dusu, but you forgot to understand his living habits, he is a native of Shuzhong, and he has been spicy since he was a child, but you don't eat chili peppers every time you eat, not even a little spicy, even garlic." The real Lord Su Duan Su doesn't like party strife or friendship, so he has not been promoted for many years, but you have made friends with King Alcohol? ”

Su Duan stared at King Yin with vicious eyes, gritted his teeth and continued to ask, "What else do you know?" ”

King Yin quietly took a portrait from the hands of his subordinates and unfolded it in front of Su Duan, Su Duan's face quickly collapsed, and he just said blankly: "You actually found it." ”

Shangguan Wan stepped forward and saw that the portrait was a portrait of a woman, with thin willow eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and blazing eyes.

Yin Dynasty nodded at Shangguan Wan and motioned for him to speak next.

King Yin looked at the lifeless Su Duan in front of him and said, "This is the portrait of my aunt, Wu Changning's name, do you remember Qian Tianheng?" A few days ago, Jin Xuansi happened to hear Mrs. Su hugging the little young master and crying bitterly, and said that his father was dead, so we had such thoughts. If you make friends with King Alcohol, King Alcohol will not make friends with a small magistrate who doesn't like party fighting, if it weren't for the layout, I'm afraid Uncle Qian, you wouldn't come to Dengzhou, let alone replace Su Duan. ”

"Yes, I'm Qian Tianheng, and I'm familiar with the art of disguise, so I've been pretending to be another person all these years, and I don't want to leave a human life on my hands, so I keep Mrs. Su and her children, as long as she keeps her mouth shut, I won't touch their lives. Unexpectedly, she showed her feet. He said dejectedly.

When Sun Er heard this, he touched the neck of Su Duan who was also Qian Tianheng, and quickly pulled up a skin, revealing a completely different face. King Ji also stepped forward and said, "Master Qian? Didn't you use to be a guard next to your father, and you taught our brothers a few kung fu when you were young, why did you go with King Alcohol? ”

Qian Tianheng stopped talking.

But King Yin said, "Let me tell you." At that time, my aunt had a personal relationship with the first emperor, and at that time, the mother emperor was pregnant with Liujia, and even several of our brothers were raised by my aunt for a while. The mother queen still found out between them, but the aunt was also pregnant at that time. One night, my aunt died of blood loss in childbirth. But because of her relationship with the first emperor before her death, her aunt provoked the feelings of the mother and the emperor one after another, so she took it for granted that it was the mother emperor's hand. The aunt told King Alcohol before that his biological mother, Concubine Shu, was also killed by the mother emperor, so King Alcohol has had a problem with the mother emperor since then. ”

Qian Tianheng snorted coldly: "Changning died of a miscarriage, all because of Wu Yunning's demon woman, otherwise why would it be like this?" ”

King Yin took out a confession from his bosom, and said in front of Qian Tianheng: "This matter is related to the face of the heavenly family, so I didn't make a statement, and at that time, our brothers were still young, and we couldn't find out the case for my aunt, and I couldn't clear the suspicion for my mother." It's like a thorn in the mother and the emperor. This confession was jointly written by several palace people who served my aunt back then and left a handprint. Master Qian, you've seen it too. ”

Qian Tianheng just muttered: "Impossible, impossible, how is it possible?" ”

King Yin put the confession in Shangguan Wan's hand and then said, "Impossible? Which woman in the royal family doesn't intrigue? I will not defend this for the Mother. Being betrayed by your sister and husband, if you are a woman, you may endure it? At that time, the mother emperor had already accepted her fate, and even wanted to persuade Aunt Xiandiana to become a concubine. It's just that the aunt wants to completely overthrow her mother's status in the heart of the first emperor, so she wants to use the fetus in her womb to blame the mother. So the first emperor rushed over and the first person he saw was the mother emperor, because it was the palace people who were waiting for his aunt to call the mother emperor over. said that her aunt was going out of the palace, so she came to let her sister say goodbye. She drank the abortion pill herself, but because the drug was too strong, her body could not bear it, so she bleed to death. At that time, King Alcohol was still raised in his aunt's palace, and it was difficult to pull it out if he planted it by mistake. ”

Qian Tianheng looked up, and his jaw was about to be forced. Shangguan Wan hurriedly shouted: "Sun Er, stuff the strip of cloth into his mouth, he will bite his tongue and kill himself." ”

Qian Tianheng glanced at King Yin and Shangguan Wan beside him, and a tear fell, but King Yin continued: "Master Qian, after all, our brother has learned kung fu from you since childhood, but my aunt can't shake the status of the mother emperor in the heart of the first emperor, but she always complains to you, I don't know, are you loyal or disloyal to the first emperor?" What kind of feelings do you have for your aunt? The child in the womb is yours, so my aunt wants to use the child in the womb to bring down the mother. I guess you know that kid is yours, right? Kindness? ”

Qian Tianheng smiled, but shed tears: "My child, hahaha, Changning is so gentle and lovely, how can Wu Yunning compare, I don't believe your rhetoric." Changning is the best. ”

King Yin sneered, squinted at Qian Tianheng beside him and said, "You don't believe the palace confession back then, and you don't believe the facts in front of you." You're not old-fashioned, you're in love with someone wrong. If your aunt really loves the emperor, why should she have a personal relationship with you? If your aunt really wants to be with you, why should she be committed to the emperor, she has no name and can go out of the palace to live your leisurely life. But she didn't, did she? As for the evil obstacle in her aunt's belly, the biggest effect is just to separate the feelings between the mother and the emperor for her. Otherwise, do you really think that she is willing to leave a person of non-royal blood and disturb the royal bloodline? ”

Qian Tianheng laughed a few times as if he was crazy, and Shangguan Wan said to him: "Lord Qian, don't worry, the signboard of Jinxuansi did not hit Dengzhou, nor did it hit my hands. Several prisoners from last night have been placed by me, and as for your housekeeper who often communicates with Jingzhong, he has also been captured by us, and now the alcohol king should have received the news that I have been eliminated, and if he wants to write to Song Tianwolf to preside over the Jinxuan Division, he will fall into our trap again. Is it worth taking revenge on an unwarranted revenge and putting this life on board? ”

Qian Tianheng muttered: Is it worth it, is it worth it, is it worth it? was escorted into the car by Sun Er and imprisoned.

Mrs. Su had already heard the movement and saw that the man had been restrained, so she just hugged the child and wept silently. Shangguan Wan saw it and stepped forward: "I know that your husband has been victimized by a traitor, and now Master Su is just an impostor. If you are willing to take your children to Beijing to testify, I, Shangguan Wan, will guarantee that I will protect you and no one will assassinate you. ”

Mrs. Su knelt down and said with a crying voice: "I am willing, and I will ask Lord Si Qing to call the shots." ”

When the play ended, Shangguan Wan sighed. King Ji followed Sun Er to prison, but only King Yin and Shangguan Wan were left.

Shangguan Wan looked at King Yin, who had changed into his regular clothes, and remembered the way he was wearing Jin Xuansi's clothes a few days ago, and felt like a world away. She asked, "How do you know these things?" ”

King Yin looked at her, his eyes softened: "When King Alcohol set a trap for me, I had already sent someone to check on my aunt's affairs back then, and the mother emperor and the first emperor were provoked because of this matter, so the mother emperor was unwilling to investigate and didn't want to investigate." I already had an eyebrow before I came, and I only sent the confession a few days ago. When you told me a few days ago that Su Duan might be false, I guessed from that confession that the Qian guards who said that the palace people said that they had personal affairs might also have colluded with King Alcohol. ”

"His Royal Highness is smart and meticulous, and his subordinates are ashamed of themselves, I only thought of these things today, and I don't have much time to investigate."

King Yin turned to go back to his room, but turned around again and said, "I said, I will keep you safe." ”

Shangguan Wan was dumbfounded, and when she came to her senses, King Yin was gone.
