In the afternoon of the same day, Rong Zhe asked Ji Ying to buy a lot of wood and bamboo on the pretext of buying firewood, which contained a lot of arrowheads and steel needles with Rong Zhe's characteristics, as well as a small amount of gunpowder. Rong Zhe studied carefully in Ji Ying's house for a long time, observed the layout and arrangement of the house, and then hid in the firewood room and concentrated on polishing the mechanism.

On the same day, Ji Ying told people "sadly" that tomorrow she would reveal to His Majesty the mastermind behind the successive murders of adults, and threatened that life and death would be unpredictable, so she dismissed all the domestic servants.

Ji Ying entered the palace the next day, and before she entered the palace, Rong Zhe had already installed all the mechanisms. Jiang Yichen personally tried it, saying that this organ is extremely powerful, and if it can be placed on the city defense, it can withstand thousands of troops.

At this time, the emperor had just returned to the palace from the Taoist temple. In fact, Zhou Rukang, who was bent on becoming an immortal, was very impatient with the courtiers' invitation, but Ji Ying said that the case had been revealed, so Zhou Rukang beat his spirit and listened to Ji Ying's statement.

Ji Ying knelt on the ground, presented the recital, and said loudly: "The minister is ordered by His Majesty to investigate the case of the successive murders of the ministers. ”

Zhou Rukang didn't bother to look at the recital, he asked Ji Ying to say it directly.

Ji Ying said, "Your Majesty is graceful." Looking at these cases, the minister has the following gains. First of all, after repeated deductions, it was discovered that although Lord Zhao had fought with the assassins before his death, he actually died by suicide. There is a dark pavilion in Lord Zhao's bedroom, but the things in the hidden pavilion are gone. ”

Zhou Rukang's eyelids jumped, and he stared at Ji Ying who didn't raise his head in front of him: "Do you know what the things are in the dark pavilion?" ”

"The minister is dead, but the minister still doesn't know."

"You go on."

Ji Ying responded: "Moreover, the gambling house that General Qi went to before he was killed, in fact, it was a business of exchanging money for his life, and in it, the ministers and others found a lot of outlaws, and even fugitives in the army. From this point of view, the characters behind the gambling house are not trivial. There is also the case of Hou Ye. The scene where An Hou Ye was killed is basically the same as the scene of Lord Zhao, except that An Hou Ye was killed. With Hou Ye's superior martial arts, he should have been invincible, but Hou Ye seemed to know the identity and purpose of the other party, and he intended to let the other party go, so he was given the first opportunity. The minister picked up a tassel hanging on the nameplate in the mansion of the Marquis of Hanzhang, and originally did not know the source, but later the minister was chased and killed in the woods outside the city, and the other party accidentally lost the nameplate, and the minister knew the origin of the tassel. The minister brought a piece of physical evidence, and asked His Majesty to take a look. ”

Ji Ying took out a handkerchief from her arms, which was wrapped with the nameplate of Hankage and the tassel she had picked up, and held it respectfully above her head. Yu Hai bowed over and presented it to Zhou Rukang.

Even if Ji Ying lowered her head, she could sense Zhou Rukang's irrepressible anger. Zhou Rukang slammed the nameplate on the table and asked, "Who is this thing?" ”

"Chen originally didn't know who was behind this series of murders, but one person told Chen something."

"What's the matter?"

Ji Ying kowtowed again and begged: "This person was originally threatened with the life of the whole clan by the mastermind behind the scenes, and he failed to report the matter to His Majesty in time, but he was not angry with what this mastermind did behind the scenes, so he wrote a letter and presented it to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to spare his whole clan for his heartfelt sake." ”

"Okay, okay, you can submit it quickly!" Zhou Rukang said impatiently.

Ji Ying took out the table written by Nomad Ye from his sleeve and handed it to Zhou Rukang through Yu Hai. Zhou Rukang didn't look at it, but the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and finally rolled the whole piece of paper into a ball, threw it on the table, gasped and said, "It's the opposite, it's the other beast!" He wanted to poison me! No wonder ......"

"Your Majesty is angry!" Ji Ying and Yu Hai persuaded at the same time.

"Yu Hai!" Zhou Rukang shouted, "Call me that beast Zhou Yan!" ”

"Your Majesty," Yu Hai said with a shaky black and white beard, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has always been loyal and filial, what can he do?" I'm afraid someone will frame me. ”

"Framed?" Zhou Rukang sneered and said, "Okay, then I'll let him confront him in court to see if someone is framing!" You old thing, go! ”

Yu Hai's husband held the dust in his hand, bent over, and walked out of the palace with broken steps. Ji Ying was still kneeling on the ground, quiet like an incense burner for incense.

On the other side, the nomadic field also knelt in the ear room of the Chu Palace.

At the beginning, Zhou Yan, the king of Chu, was lying on the small couch, holding a cup of newly paid tribute Tieguanyin in his hand, tasting it slowly, and he said: "Didn't this king tell you a long time ago that your brothers and this king will entertain you well, you don't come over again and again, so as not to arouse suspicion." ”

Nomad Muye said: "If it weren't for the repeated offenses of the grass people, it was really a great thing that happened, and I have come to report it to His Highness." ”

"What's the big deal? What about Ji Ying? ”

"Yes. The minister met the servant in Ji Ying's house yesterday, and the servant said that Ji Ying had found out the case and went to His Majesty. ”

Zhou Yan straightened up, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked, "What do you mean, Ji Ying has found out about this king's head?" ”

"This ...... Two days ago, Ji Ying asked the grass people if they knew the 'Hanying Division', of course the grass people didn't know, she asked the grass people again, do they know what the 'defense map' was, and the grass people didn't know, but the grass people thought that in the dense forest, the grass people showed their feet, maybe Ji Ying had guessed that the grass people did things for His Royal Highness, and she asked the grass people repeatedly about such things, and the grass people felt that it might be related to His Royal Highness. ”

Zhou Yan stood up and asked, "So, did Ji Ying guess that this king is the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”

"The grass people are just a man in the rivers and lakes, how can he understand the twists and turns in the court, maybe he fell into Ji Ying's trap as early as before and didn't know it. Grass people are dead! ”

Zhou Yan was furious, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at Nomadye, smashing it on Nomadye's forehead, and then made a crisp cracking sound. Blood suddenly flowed from Nomad's forehead.

Nomadic Ye pleaded guilty again and again.

The matter has come to this, and Zhou Yan is helpless. He angrily ordered the nomadic to get out, and then shouted to the housekeeper Qian Shan to prepare the car, and he was going out.

Walking down the path leading to the back door, Nomad Ye saw the only well in Yanwang's Mansion.

The nomadic man confessed to the little man who led the way, and said, "My lord, go slowly. In this way, it is inconvenient to go out, and I am afraid of causing trouble to the palace, can I be accommodating and let me wash it down? ”

Although the little guy was arrogant, he thought that what the nomadic man said was also right, so he said: "Go and ask the women in Huanyi for pots yourself, and the little heart is the water and ground of our palace!" ”

Nomad Ye made a long gesture and said, "Thank you, sir." This road has been walked many times in the bottom, and I don't dare to bother the adults to lead the way, so please take care of the adults. ”

The little guy snorted and paced away.

Nomad Muye borrowed a basin from Huanyi's mother, flicked half a basin of water, and when he put the barrel back, he put a packet of white powdered ecstasy in it.

Nomadic Muye went out and walked in the market, just in time for Yu Hai to pass by in a carriage. Yu Hai is old, but he has a good memory. He recognized Nomad when he turned sideways to give way, and hurriedly asked the driver to stop.

The carriage stopped in front of the nomadic wilds. Yu Hai lifted the curtain of the car and said, "Isn't this the miracle doctor in Lingnan?" Why are you here? ”

The nomad made a big salute and said, "My husband has a really good memory, and he still remembers the grass people." ”

"What's wrong with the doctor's head? How is bleeding? ”

Nomad touched his wet forehead and said, "The passing year is not good, it makes you smile." ”

Yu Haile said hehehe: "It just so happens that Your Majesty had a headache two days ago, and the imperial doctors have not seen any improvement after diagnosis and treatment for a long time. I also asked the divine doctor to have time to enter the palace and cut a pulse for His Majesty. Your Majesty, wouldn't it be nice for us to be the next people! ”

Nomad Ye arched his hand and said: "The grass people Xie Gonggong Ji hangs up!" ”

"Don't talk about it, our family still has the emperor's order, so I won't bother, and I will definitely talk to the divine doctor another day."

"The grass people are waiting for you at any time."

Nomadic Ye watched Yu Hai's carriage leave, touched the blood beads on his forehead, and said, "Ji Ying, Ji Ying, everyone's lives are in your hands." ”

When Yu Hai arrived at the palace of the king of Chu, the king of Chu had already left. Yu Hai asked, "Where is His Royal Highness the King of Chu?" ”

The housekeeper Qian Shan said: "His Royal Highness only said to go out, but did not say to go there." ”

"When will you be back?"

"I ...... I don't know. ”

Yu Hai was anxious and said, "Aren't you embarrassing our family!" How do you let our family return to Your Majesty? Quick, send someone to find it! ”

Qian Shan said: "Don't worry, husband, I've already sent someone." My Highness will not be out for a long time, and I will be able to catch up in a while. Let's go inside and sit down and rest. ”

Yu Hai had no choice but to follow Qian Shan in.

It was almost noon when the people sent by Qian Shan found the King of Chu, and the King of Chu was gathering the killers of the Hanying Division at the Hidden Dragon Gambling House and ordering them to be sure to kill Ji Ying tonight.

When the king of Chu heard that Yu Hai had personally been ordered to call him to see him, he knew that things were as the nomadic man said, and he was furious when he thought that he would be more auspicious and less auspicious. The situation is urgent, and there is no time to think about it. He ordered Chen Han, the current steward of the Hidden Dragon Gambling House, to send a message to several generals in the Praetorian Guard, asking them to secretly assemble troops and be ready to send troops at any time, and then personally came to the door and instructed the ministers around him to immediately draft a recital for impeachment of Ji Ying.

Zhou Rukang waited left and right, but he couldn't wait for his fourth son. Seeing that it was time for lunch, he simply asked Ji Ying to go back first and come back when the time came.
