Listening to Steward Zhou talk about the cause of Old Man Wu's death, Sheng Siyan's heart jumped suddenly.

However, she quickly calmed down, held Ah Bao's hand more and more tightly, and asked Zhou Da Steward: "Old Man Wu was murdered?" This...... That's a bit outrageous, right? Who is so capable?! ”

"I don't know yet. However, our old man has received some news that Dali Temple has preliminarily concluded that it should be done by an acquaintance. ”

Sheng Siyan's brows gradually furrowed, and he nodded: "Got it, you go and get busy." ”

After Zhou Da's steward left, Sheng Siyan took Ah Bao to Lanshui Courtyard to sit for a while.

Feng also heard the news of Old Man Wu's death, and sighed: "Really, I didn't expect Old Man Wu to go like this." ”

Sheng Siyan said in a daze: "The guards in our house are safe, right?" Do you want more people on my grandfather's side to guard it? ”

Feng Shi thought for a moment and said, "There are enough people over there. You don't have to worry about it, master, you just need to take good care of Bao. ”

Sheng Siyan responded, and accompanied Feng Shi to lunch before taking Bao back to Qingyuan Hall.

She was a little sleepy, and she wanted to take a nap for a while, but before she went to bed, she listened to the maid outside report that the saint had announced that she and Ah Bao had entered the palace.

Sheng Siyan had no choice but to change into the coat that went out and took Po out of the car together.

When he came to the palace, Emperor Xia Zhao smiled and beckoned to Ah Bao, "Ah Bao, come here, my grandfather has prepared good things for you." ”

Ah Bao Dong ran over, climbed on Emperor Xia Zhao's legs, and asked, "What is it?" Show me! ”

Emperor Xia Zhao took out the jade seal and taught Ah Bao to distinguish between fake jade seals.

Sheng Siyan couldn't stand it anymore. Busy said: "Father, if you have nothing to do, I will take Ah Bao back first." There are many things at home, and you have a lot of things here, so we won't bother. ”

Emperor Xia Zhao glanced at her with a smile and asked Ah Bao, "Have you remembered?" ”

Ah Bao nodded, and said listlessly: "Such a simple thing, just remember it after saying it once!" - I don't need to say it so many times. ”

"How many times have you said it?! It's only been said twice. - You stinky boy! Emperor Xia Zhao scolded with a smile, nodded with satisfaction, and put away the jade seal. He said to Sheng Siyan again: "I have also taught the eldest prince." Teach him to distinguish between fake jade seals. I taught it seven times, and he still couldn't tell the real thing. Ah Bao just taught it once, and he recognized it. ”

Sheng Siyan smiled and said, "The eldest prince doesn't need to admit it. ”

Emperor Xia Zhao raised his eyebrows. "Why?"

"There is no reason." Sheng Siyan didn't want to say more.

The key is not the utensils. It's a rightful name.

The eldest prince is justified in that position. Even if he takes a fake jade seal, it's true.

Emperor Xia Zhao lowered his head and thought about it, and seemed to understand what Sheng Siyan meant. He said, "Your concerns are also justified. Forget it, don't worry, I'll let you two stop trembling in a few days. After speaking, he snorted coldly: "They are all my sons and daughters, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat." I can spoil whoever I want, do I still have to look at other people's noses and eyes? ”

Sheng Siyan smiled and secretly slandered to himself, the previous sentence also said that the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and the latter words are boundless...

……

The autumn of the eighth year of Zhaoli was really a mixed autumn for Uncle Xia Liang.

He learned of Old Man Wu's death early in the morning, so he quickly left the capital and went to the Zhuangzi where Master Zhou was hiding outside the city.

As a result, he was still halfway through when he met the steward and guard of the Zhuangzi who came to report the news.

"Lord Wang! Rajah! Big things are not good! ”

"What's the matter?" Xia Liang's heart sank, it wouldn't be what he thought, right?

On Wednesday, the master revealed the secret of the heavy pupil diagram, he only said to the old man Wu, there is no other reason, the old fox of the old man Wu, he doesn't see the rabbit at all, he doesn't scatter the eagle, and if he doesn't give him some real benefits to catch him, he won't take the bait at all!

As soon as Old Man Wu died, Xia Liang immediately thought that his secret might be leaked, and immediately rushed out of the capital to transfer Master Zhou.

He was still glad in his heart that half of what he had said had not been said to Old Man Wu, so the person who killed Old Man Wu, even if he heard the news, would not know the whole truth.

Unexpectedly, followed by Wednesday, Ye was burned to death!

Could it be that the man ...... I even know that this secret is revealed by Master Wednesday?!

Xia Liang squinted his eyes and thought about it, who would know that Zhou Ye lived in his other village?

Even Zhou Huaili shouldn't know, right?

Because after Zhou Ye faked his death, Xia Liang hid him in his other village and did not tell anyone his true identity, so Zhou Huaili should have no way of knowing.

But I still don't feel at ease when I think about it, Zhou Huaili's ability is too powerful, and when he has the opportunity, he still has to let Xia Rui test Zhou Huaili.

At present, he can't do without Zhou Huaili.

The person whom Mr. Wu introduced to him is indeed very capable, ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to himself......

When he came to Beizhuang, Xia Liang found that the courtyard where Zhou Ye lived was burned to pieces, and Zhou Ye's body was not completely burned, and it could be seen that it was Zhou Ye himself, but it was burned black, and the cause of death could not be found.

"Where's the books in the house?" Xia Liang asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Wang, it's all burned. The little ones went in to look for it, and the books inside were burned to ashes, here, you come to see ......" A guard led Xia Liang over to check.

Although Xia Liang saw those ashes, he still felt that he couldn't believe what he saw with his eyes.

Because he believed that if he killed Zhou Ye himself, he would definitely take those things away, and he would definitely not burn them in a fire.

But fortunately, how to see the secret of the route from the double pupil map, Zhou Ye has already told him in detail.

Uncle Xia Liang was looking for an opportunity to go to the Cloud Pavilion, the highest place in the palace, to take a look at the real picture.

“…… If you burn it, burn it, it's not an important thing. Xia Liang said indifferently, although he was so frightened that he wanted to vomit blood, he had to make a calm and breezy appearance on his face, so as not to be seen by others. This person has been raised for several years, and it is enough. Give him a burial and bury him in the back mountain. ”

Xia Liang dealt with this matter as calmly as possible, not wanting to make his subordinates panic, "The matter here, we have to find out what is going on." Why did it catch fire?! ”

The guards and stewards were busy and began to inspect the village.

Xia Liang looked at the burned courtyard and remembered that when he brought Zhou Ye here, it was a fire he created in the ancestral grave of the Zhou family, making him pretend to be burned to death.

"I didn't expect that. You still haven't escaped the fire......" Xia Liang muttered. listlessly returned to the capital.

After this incident, Uncle Xia Liang strengthened the monitoring and temptation of Zhou Huaili, and at the same time began to look for another opportunity to prepare for his own major events.

His hope. can't all be put on Zhou Huaili.

But he still needs Zhou Huaili to create blood soldiers for him.

……

Late at night. In the secret room of the inner sanctum of the palace. Emperor Xia Zhao sat in front of a small oil lamp and listened to a bloodied man kneeling on the ground in return.

"Holy Lord, there is a master on the side of Uncle Xia Liang who has already penetrated the secret of the Double Pupil Diagram. Wei Chen originally planned to wait for the secret to be discovered before returning, but he didn't expect that the master was suddenly burned to death, and even all the brochures he wrote were missing. The man whispered back.

This person is Emperor Xia Zhao's spy, since five years ago, when his uncle Xia Liang married the little county lord Xia Rui to the hussar general Zhou Huaili, Emperor Xia Zhao, who sensed that something was wrong, quietly began to plant people around Xia Liang.

It's just that Xia Liang is very cunning and cautious, and the people installed by Emperor Xia Zhao always disappear for no reason within a few days.

The person kneeling in front of Emperor Xia Zhao was the only spy who had stayed until now.

This person has been by Xia Liang's side for three or four years, and has been in Xia Liang's other village, and he has not been reused, but he has not been suspected either.

There weren't many things he knew, but this one thing was important enough.

“…… Double pupil diagram? Actually interested in the double pupil diagram......" Emperor Xia Zhao smiled quietly, and Wen Yan asked him: "Okay, you did a good job." I will give you an official and a knight. But are your injuries in the way? ”

The man shook his head, "It's all skin wounds." "It was when he was leaving the village that he was accidentally discovered by some people, and he used all his strength to kill all those who pursued him, and of course, he himself was injured.

"You go back to recuperate first, and in two days, I will send Sheng Guogong to diagnose your pulse again to see if there are any hidden injuries and internal stasis." Emperor Xia Zhao nodded and ordered the man to go down.

That person is the imperial guard carefully selected by Emperor Xia Zhao, and he has not yet shown his face in front of people.

Emperor Xia Zhao will reuse the people who have worked hard for him to make meritorious contributions, and will not be like some emperors, who are accustomed to crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, killing cunning rabbits, cooking lackeys, and finally making himself a loner.

After the man left, Emperor Xia Zhao did not go back to the inner palace to rest, but went to the imperial study, continued to review the chapters, and coughed twice from time to time.

At dawn the next day, Emperor Xia Zhao ordered Xuansheng Siyan to enter the palace.

This time I didn't let her take Po.

Sheng Siyan knew in his heart that something was wrong.

When she came to the inner palace, Emperor Xia Zhao didn't say anything, and took her straight to the top floor of the Cloud Pavilion, the tallest building in the inner palace.

"Come in." Emperor Xia Zhao smiled and said to her, "There is something to say in this is the safest." ”

Sheng Siyan hesitated and said, "...... Only the Holy Lord and the Grandfather of the Four Great Powers can come in here, I ......"

"It doesn't matter." Emperor Xia Zhao sighed, "Rules are dead, people are alive." In fact, there are many people who have come in, not only the emperor and the grandfather of the four great powers. ”

Sheng Siyan looked at Emperor Xia Zhao, "Do you have to go in and say anything?" ”

Emperor Xia Zhao's face became grim, "It's very important." ”

Sheng Siyan had no choice but to follow Emperor Xia Zhao into the small room on the top floor of the Cloud Pavilion.

It was her first time here.

The empty hall was deep and silent, and as soon as you walked in, the sound outside seemed to be cut off.

The inside is full of pure white and black decorations, and it looks ...... Very modern and minimalist feel.

Sheng Siyan felt a little strange in his heart.

"Was this also built and arranged by Emperor Taizu himself?" Sheng Siyan asked quietly.

Emperor Xia Zhao shook his head with a smile, "This Cloud Pavilion is actually left by the previous dynasty, I don't know how it was built." But the decoration in this is arranged by Emperor Taizu himself. - How do you know? ”
