The bright moon and green mountain night, the high sky is white and autumn.

The imperial capital is more north and east than the southern region, although it is not as humid as the southern region, and it is slightly cold compared to the southern region, but in the early autumn season at this time, tourists still feel that the imperial capital is better.

But even so, the night breeze of early autumn hurts.

However, catching up with such a grand event as the New Era Cup, people would rather hurt their bodies than lose their spirits.

Night and night, talking about the situation of the imperial capital in the past few days.

What's more, tomorrow is the start day of the New Era Cup finals, which may be an experience that some people only once in a lifetime, so the indulgence of an all-night is the best welcome to it.

For some, the night is big enough for them to pour out all the hustle and bustle in their hearts.

But for some people, the night is small, and an oil lamp and three or two dossiers are enough to drive away the loneliness of the night.

Liu Xinyan is the latter.

Liu Xinyan picked up the brush at hand, familiarly picked the wick of the oil lamp in front of him with the barrel of the pen, and then turned the pen and drew a few strokes on the file in his hand.

The oil lamp didn't seem to be too bright, and Liu Xinyan could only get a few points closer to the file.

"Master, it's late, let's rest......

The scholar took the hairpin and picked up the wick, and the flame jumped a few times, and then it was "languishing", as if it was too late at night, and even it looked a little tired.

Seeing this, the scholar complained, "Master, the night pearl that the Holy God has given you, you either refused, or donated to the treasury. If you use that, your eyes won't be ......."

Liu Xinyan stared at the file intently, but he still responded.

"My eyes were destroyed by scientific research when I was young, and at that time, there were no conditions for fighting at night, so I could only read by moonlight, and my eyes were ruined at that time......

The scholar was lip profuse, and if he looked closely, he would find that he was just saying the same thing as Liu Xinyan.

Obviously, Liu Xinyan's slightly perfunctory remarks have been heard more than once by the scholar.

The scholar continued, "But this dim oil lamp is not as good as the 'electric lamp' that His Highness gave you, but it can emit such a bright light, it is like hanging a sun in the room......

The "electric light" in the mouth of the scholar is not the electric light of the eldest grandson's previous life.

It was a small object that the Western magic tribe paid tribute to the imperial court, and the principle was to depict an electric magic array in the spar, so that the light emitted was not only bright but also stable, and would not flicker and dim like an oil lamp.

Hearing this, Liu Xinyan put down the file in his hand and looked at the scholar.

"Little Wu, I've told you many times that those things of the Western tribe should not be used if you can, they seem to be fancy but are actually flashy. Besides, who knows if there are any shady means hidden in those things, if the secrets of the imperial court are leaked out because of this, then they will become sinners of the imperial dynasty through the ages......

Xiao Wu expressed respect and obedience on the surface, but in fact, he secretly scolded his master for being pedantic in his heart.

Liu Xinyan didn't care if the little scholar heard it or not, and after finishing speaking, he continued to bow his head and flip through the file.

But this is like opening Liu Xinyan's chatterbox.

"It's been another eventful year......

"Little Five, the first thing we need as officials is 'unification'. At the beginning of the year, a great drought was reported in the north, and although it was now autumn, they did not shout to the court about the lack of food, but they estimated that the harvest of the people would not be too good. Therefore, I collected more grain from the south long before the autumn, in order to fill the gap that could not be levied from the north. Even if the situation is bad, the imperial court still has to help the ...... in the north."

"Secondly, we have to think 'deeply'. There is a big drought in the north, and life in Beishazhou, which is deserted over there, will inevitably not be easy. Most of the people in the border desert are herdsmen, and they rely most on the sky for food. God rewards food, they are good people, God does not reward food, they will fall into the grass, and when the time comes, it will inevitably attack our north. Therefore, the military department should select competent soldiers in advance to build a strong north......

Liu Xinyan is like a lonely old man, who can't stop as soon as he speaks.

It's just that this seems to be a fragmented thought, which is random

But all of them are major events involving the imperial court.

But in the dark, what responded to Liu Xinyan was not the usual boring echo of the little scholar, but another voice.

"Lord Shang Shuling pointed out the country to a scholar, and he was not afraid of revealing the secrets of the imperial court?"

Liu Xinyan's hand holding the file couldn't help but tremble, and when he turned his head suddenly, he found that the little scholar was already lying unconscious on the coffee table on the side, and a figure was watching him in the dark.

Liu Xinyan first anxiously observed the situation of the little scholar, and saw that his breathing was even, so he relaxed his heart, and then calmly faced the uninvited guests in the house.

"I didn't expect our Lord Shangshu Ling to be so familiar with party strife and factional struggle now, so he began to train a successor?"

The eyes of the figure in the dark were always on Liu Xinyan's body, and seeing him so nervous, he couldn't help but mock.

Liu Xinyan's face has not changed, he has been in a high position all these years, and he is not familiar with the situation in front of him, but it is commonplace.

"Your Excellency is visiting late at night, why don't you come and sit down and talk?"

Liu Xinyan knew very well that the strength of the person who could easily break into his study must be unfathomable. Such a character is already close to him, and his life and death are already in the hands of the other party.

Instead of threatening each other with identity and status, it is better to sit down and talk to see if there is a turnaround.

The figure in the darkness chuckled, as if expressing disdain for Liu Xinyan's careful thoughts.

"Liu Xinyan, you have indeed changed a lot over the years......

As he spoke, the man walked out of the darkness, and then calmly sat on the chair next to Liu Xinyan's desk.

It's just that Liu Xinyan seemed to be frightened and immediately got up from his seat.

"Lord Wangcai, why are you here?!"

Liu Xinyan's words have surprise and respect that are difficult to hide.

The eldest grandson looked at Liu Xinyan at this time, and he didn't know how much Liu Xinyan at this time was still like before.

"According to your plan, should I be trapped in the mystery of the 'murder of the contestant'", or should I be the burial companion in the 'missing person case?!'

After reading Lu Si's memories, the eldest grandson began to fall into self-doubt.

Although when he first met Liu Xinyan, he felt that he was hiding something from him, but he always believed in his heart that Liu Xinyan was the upright scholar he used to be, but he had become more mellow and mature after experiencing the beating of officialdom.

But Liu Xinyan appeared in Lu Si's last memories, which made the eldest grandson have to be suspicious:

Liu Xinyan is actually a minion supported by the nobles of the clan? Successively designed the "Player Murder Case" and "Human Disappearance Case" to clean up the traces of evil in Kaicheng District, and then used himself to find the connection between Emperor Yaozong and the bereaved clan in the New Era Cup, so as to weaken Emperor Yaozong's dominance.

Liu Xinyan did this for nothing more than a purpose, to support the next emperor!

When Lu Si was still in his memories, the eldest grandson thought of who the leader of the clan was.

can lead the nobles of the clan who were suppressed by Emperor Yaozong to the point that it is difficult to turn over, and return to the third largest party in the imperial court, except for His Royal Highness the Prince, who else can there be!

Thinking about it this way, everything is reasonable, and there is an explanation for Liu Xinyan's ability to sit in Shang Shuling's position.

So after the eldest grandson simply showed Lu Si's memories (excluding Liu Xinyan's last scene) to Zhou Mi and others, he directly killed Liu Xinyan's mansion.

Maybe it's because the eldest grandson has also done Liu Xinyan (when he was reincarnated in a dream), or because he is angry at Liu Xinyan's use of himself, or maybe because he is angry at Liu Xinyan's changes over the years...... The eldest grandson's emotions seemed a little out of control at this time.

In the face of the eldest grandson's questioning, Liu Xinyan was also a little excited, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end he chose to remain silent.

This made the eldest grandson even more angry.

"Liu Xinyan, power will corrode people's hearts, don't forget those bottom-line principles that you think you can sell at will, which is your original mission when you came to this road!"

At this moment, Liu Xinyan seemed to see the man standing at the top and shouting "Four sentences of Hengqu."

Wealth.

Seeing that Liu Xinyan was stunned, the eldest grandson did not intend to let him go like this, but continued: "Your years of serving the country and the people seem to be a great good, but in fact, it is just a disguise made to cover up your great evil!"

"In the past, you disdained partisan fighting, but now you are looking at you, not only participating in it, but also being keen on it!"

"But have you ever looked down and seen how many human bones you had under your feet along the way?"

The eldest grandson couldn't imagine what kind of concessions Liu Xinyan would make to the nobles of the clan in order to become Shang Shuling, and he couldn't imagine how many innocent people died at his hands during this period.

So much so that the eldest grandson at this time was uncontrollably emotional.

There was endless bitterness in Liu Xinyan's eyes, as if he was regretting what he had done over the years, and he seemed to be full of grievances for the eldest grandson's incomprehension.

But all kinds of grievances were unwilling, but Liu Xinyan finally swallowed them all in his stomach.

Liu Xinyan's non-response made the fire in the stomach of the eldest grandson only half of it in the end, and the rest was extinguished in Liu Xinyan's silence.

But there is also disappointment.

"I'll give you one last word......

"If you wear the mask for a long time, if you take it off, it will bring blood and flesh......

"I'll tear your masks apart at the New Era Cup!"
