Shen Minghuang took out a letter from his coat pocket, and a smile finally appeared on his usually serious face. Because this letter is Wei Shuping's amulet. He took the letter out of the envelope, unfolded it, and said to Yifan in the cheeks, "Maharaja, this is the letter you wrote to the princess when you were on Hanwon Island, right?" ”

Cheek Bo Yifan was a little flustered, but quickly calmed down: "Yes, at that time, I came to Hangwan with the Hayes army, just to see the grand scenery of the south of the Dayang River, and it happened that the Wei family army was also sent to Gusu. Lone happened to be an old acquaintance with the princess, and when he met an old acquaintance in a foreign country, he wrote to her to express his condolences. ”

Writing letters in wartime, both of them were guilty of fornicating with the enemy. However, he received two replies from Wei Yangyang in a row, and his attitude was completely different, and he knew that Wei Yangyang was coerced to write a reply. On Hayes's side, he is already the king, as long as he takes all the responsibility on himself, Wei Yangyang will be safe, so he said that he went to provoke the other party first.

Cheek Bo Yifan decided to admit his mistake: "Lone has lived in Bibo City in Houwan County since he was a child, and he has never stayed in the barracks, and he doesn't know that he can't communicate with the enemy army during the war, which caused trouble for the princess. However, Gu was not a member of the Hayes Army at that time, but came to Han Won Island with the army. The content of the letter was only greetings and reminiscences, and there was no mention of war. Dayang is rich in all corners and mighty in all directions. In addition to wars, several countries have always traded and intermarried with each other, and this is the bearing that a great country should have. ”

He was not a member of the Hayes Army at the time, and although Wei Yangyang grew up in the barracks, he was not a registered soldier of the Guardian Army. Several letters written by the two men were repeatedly checked, and did not mention any secrets such as the address of the troops stationed and the battle plan. Dayang also didn't stipulate that he couldn't be friends with foreigners, so what could Wei Yangyang do wrong?

Shen Minghuang's impression of Cheek Bo Yifan has always stayed that he is a nerd. Unexpectedly, this nerd who was easily deceived by Wei Yangyang in Gusu got information, and after being a monarch for a few years, his mind became delicate. His attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and his words are not leaky.

However, Cheek Bo Yifan must not have expected that Shen Minghuang still found out from the letter what could pull him into the water. Shen Minghuang pointed to the first letter, translated the contents, and then asked Bo Yifan: "Maharaja, you called the princess "Jade Bowl" in the letter, I don't know much about Hays, what does this Jade Bowl mean?" ”

Cheek Bo Yifan didn't hear anything wrong with this title, he replied casually: "The jade bowl refers to a girl with a noble status, that is, the noble girl that you Dayang people say." "No!" Shen Minghuang's attitude was aggressive: "The jade bowl is in Haisi, which refers to the king's daughter, and in Dayang she is the county lord." Wei Bo was not crowned king, how could his daughter be a jade bowl? Could it be that the king knew at that time that Wei Bo would be crowned king in the future? ”

In context, what Cheek Bo Yifan wants to express in the letter is indeed just "noble girl" or "fairy" or something like that. He didn't think about it that much at the time, so he replaced the seven-character Yufan with a five-character jade bowl. But no letter can withstand such chewing words as Shen Minghuang, and many literary prisons also come from this. If according to Shen Minghuang's explanation, Wei Shuping is the "king", then the Wei family's sin will be great!

Cheek Bo Yifan first talked about the difference between the jade bowl and Yufan, and tried his best to find a way in his heart while talking. But Shen Minghuang had long expected him to say this, and refuted his words: "Dajun, you were a famous painter in Bibo City before you became Dajun. As we all know, people who draw are the most patient and careful. How could you possibly use a word like "princess" in order to save two characters? And when the Three Points of Water Demon Kingdom, the Wei Bo family cooperated closely with you, and he also specially sent the princess to Black Panther City. So what is the reason why you are not only not grateful to the princess now, but also sent someone to assassinate her? ”

As soon as Shen Minghuang said this, his cheeks were surprised and heartbroken, it turned out that Wei Yangyang's pale face was that she was assassinated! The Assassin must have left some evidence that he was a Hayes. Otherwise, Shen Minghuang would never dare to slander me like this! Having no idea about the assassination, he decided to tell what he knew first. How to explain the jade bowl, he had already thought of it.

Cheek Bo Yifan looked at Shen Minghuang with some contempt: "King Fengquan, Gu just learned the news of the assassination of the princess from you. Before that, Lone didn't know anything about it. But what about the jade bowl," he said here, not only was he no longer nervous, but the expression on his face was even a little relaxed: "Wei Bo is nicknamed the "Three Watch Yama King", everyone must know this, right? However, these three watches of the king of Yama were originally a sarcasm of the army of the four countries in our northern territory to Wei Bo, scolding him for killing people like hemp, and fighting a war that was even more terrifying than the king of Yama. But who knew that Webber admired this somewhat malicious nickname and claimed it. Since he is the king of Hades, isn't his daughter a royal daughter? ”

As soon as the words of the cheek wave fell, everyone present couldn't help but start laughing, no one expected him to be able to round the jade bowl like this. But this explanation is not nonsense, isn't Hades a "king"? Wei Yangyang almost laughed out loud, and he had to bite his lower lip desperately to keep from making a sound; Wei Shuping, who was always serious, also smiled, and he was even very satisfied with this explanation.

What made Shen Minghuang even more panicked was that Emperor Jiahou also had a smile on his face. The people of the Four Kingdoms hate and are afraid of the garrison, so for the people of Dayang, doesn't it prove that he is brave and good at fighting? The harder the people of the four countries scolded him, the more they believed and relied on him in the emperor's heart. The nickname of King Hades alone can dispel most of the emperor's suspicions about him.

Shen Minghuang saw Emperor Jiahu's expression and didn't know what was wrong. He hurriedly stood up and pleaded with the emperor, imploring the emperor to use the assassination case to thoroughly investigate the relationship between the Wei family and the monarch of Hays. Emperor Ke Jiahou only waved his hand and rejected his offer. Since the emperor has expressed his position, Shen Minghuang does not dare to insist on his own opinion. He couldn't mention the relationship between Yifan and the Wei family, he could only mention that in this assassination case, the assassin was a Hays person.

Since Cheek Bo Yifan didn't know about this the whole time, how could he explain it? He had no choice but to ask: "Why did King Fengquan refer to those people as Hays, did they confess?" Or what evidence did they leave behind? If it can be proved that the assassin was sent by Lone, then ask the King of Fengquan to take out the physical evidence and take a look. ”

Shen Minghuang quickly seized the loophole in the other party's words: "Maharaja, I didn't mention how many assassins there are. Why do you say "those people" instead of "that person", and how do you know that there is more than one assassin? Cheek Bo Yifan looked at him like a fool: "The princess is a first-class princess, not to mention that she is protected by guards when she goes in and out." Even if she were alone, would she have hurt her if she had sent only one assassin? ”

Wei Yangyang's kung fu has been seen by everyone present. Even if she was pregnant, she would have to deal with an Assassin. Even if she can't kill the other party, it's enough to protect herself. Then of course, the Assassins were several, not one, as Cheek Sail said.

The Wei family was stepped on several times by Shen Minghuang one after another, which is enough to prove that this assassination case was participated in by him and Jiaoqi Beihai, so there is no need to be polite to him. It's time to fight back, the garrison thought to himself. He put his left hand on the table and made a banner "Attack", and Wei Bingqi immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that the assassin is not a Hayes person, but a tyrant. ”

As soon as his words fell, Jiao Qi Beihai protested: "You don't slander people, what evidence do you have?" Shen Minghuang glared at Jiao Qi Beihai and asked her to be calm. Emperor Jiawu was also puzzled: "How do you know?" Although Wei Bingwei is not good at words on weekdays, this matter is very important, and he has already memorized what he is going to say in his heart one hundred and eighty times. He spoke in detail and with great rigor that even those who had never fought could understand what he meant.

After hearing this, the emperor put forward his own understanding: "That is to say, those three people are indifferent when they see Taoyuan, they are not soldiers, or not all; And the remaining six of the eight people reacted quickly to Taoyuan, they must be military people who are familiar with the Wei family's formation? ”

Wei Bingyue stood up and added for Wei Bingyue: "Your Majesty, the formation of the Haisians, the Xidi people and the tyrannical people is slightly different. If it weren't for our Wei Jiajun fighting against them all year round, we would definitely not be able to tell the difference. If Wei Chen's fifteenth brother and two cousins had not lined up that day, we would not have found out that they were not Hays, but tyrannical. Weichen also brought a few cousins today, and we can practice the Taoyuan formation for the emperor to see. ”

With the permission of the emperor, several sons and nephews of the Wei family also came to the palace. Wei Shuping, Wei Bingyue, and Wei Binggong, father and son, formed the Taoyuan formation, and the six Wei family disciples imitated the formation used by the Tyrants, Hais, and Xidi people, and launched attacks on Taoyuan in turn.

Because it was a drill, not a real battle, their display speed was very, very slow, so that everyone in the hall could see how Taoyuan eliminated the enemy army. According to the different formations of the armies of the three countries, the order of attack in Taoyuan was also different, and when the soldiers of the three groups of "enemy country" formations were killed, the parts of the wounded were also different.

The Ministry of Punishment recorded the reasons for the deaths of the eight assassins, and the file was placed on Emperor Jiahu's desk. He compared the injuries of the "Tyrant Soldiers" when he saw the Taoyuan Formation against the Tyrant Army formation on the spot, which was almost exactly the same as the one recorded in the file.

In that case, this matter has nothing to do with Hayes. Emperor Jiahou expressed his gratitude to Yifan and ordered him to be sent back. When he got up, he still looked at Wei Yang with some unease. In order to avoid suspicion, Wei Yangyang didn't dare to touch his gaze, but just gently covered his stomach.

When Wei Yangyang was in Black Panther City, he ate something cold one day and had abdominal pain. At the time, she thought that she was poisoned, but later learned that it was the letter period that had been lowered, and she made a big joke. Cheek Bo Yifan understood that she was doing this to tell herself that this was the same as the last abdominal pain incident, just a false alarm.

The new tyrannical king thief friend Bei Hai was announced to the palace, and the situation on the scene took a sharp turn for the worse, and beads of sweat began to ooze from Jiaoqi Beihai's forehead. Emperor Jiahu ordered the physical evidence left by the assassin to be placed in front of his thief Bei Hai, and asked him if he could see if these things were commonly used by the tyrants.

The thief friend Bei Hai, like Cheek Bo Yifan, had never heard of an assassination case before he came. He just picked up the knives, axes, clothes, and belongings left by those assassins to examine them one by one, and then shook his head: "These things are commonly used by the people of the North, and it can be said that their owners are tyrannical people, or they can be said to be Dayang people, so they can't tell the difference." ”

Emperor Jiahou asked him again: "Then may I ask the Great Monarch, is there any obvious difference between the physical characteristics of the tyrannical soldiers and the Dayang soldiers?" "The thief Bei Hai is different from the pampered thief Bei Hai, he grew up in the military camp and has quite a lot of military achievements. It was only because his mother was not a queen that he was not eligible to inherit the throne. His familiarity with the tyrannical army is deeper than that of Jiaoqi Beihai.

The thief friend Bei Hai thought for a moment: "Except for the slight difference in appearance, the biggest difference is that the Wei family army is accustomed to using knives and spears; And the weapon used by our tyrannical soldiers is called the Red Lady, which is made of wood and wire. The knife is heavier, so that the knife will be worn out in a circle around the tiger's mouth on the right hand of the knife; And the person who makes the red lady is not worn out at the tiger's mouth, but is often stabbed by wooden thorns, such as me. As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and Emperor Jiahou ordered someone to come forward to inspect it. Sure enough, at his tiger's mouth, there were dense red marks as big as pinholes.

In addition, someone went to inspect the three Wei Shuping's father and son, the six children of the Wei family and Wei Yangyang's right hand tiger's mouth, no matter how they took care of their hands, there were thick calluses on the tiger's mouth, which was their mark as a professional soldier.

The results of the inspection were completely correct with what the thief friend Bei Hai had described, and Emperor Jiahou was left with only one last question: "Maharaja, if you want to mobilize eight soldiers with strong martial arts to come to Huadu at the same time, and no one will find out, how many people have this qualification?" "The thief friend Bei Hai rebelled and became the king, and he was not in the right position, but it was because he did not hinder the diplomatic relations between the two countries that Dayang was too lazy to care about their internal affairs.

Now listening to Emperor Jiahu's question, even if he has never heard of the assassination case, he knows that it must be a tyrant who has caused some big trouble in Huadu. He carefully thought about Emperor Jiahu's questions several times, and began to answer them one by one: "When the tyrannical people come to Dayang, they have to undergo several inspections. If you want to come to Huadu, not only will there be layers of interrogation on the road, but you will also need a large amount of travel expenses, which is not something that ordinary sergeants can afford. The mission can bring people without being interrogated, but the list of personnel in the mission is reported to the Dayang Rite Department before departure, and if there is a need to change or increase or decrease personnel in the middle, it needs to be reported immediately. ”

When the thief Bei Hai said this, everyone understood that no matter what happened, he had to clear up the suspicion of the Tyrannical Mission first. He continued: "If you want to bring one or two people all the way in, a large caravan may be able to do it. But eight sergeants came at the same time, and they needed to stay in Huadu, so it was difficult not to attract attention. This master needs to have a large sum of silver, he also has rights in the tyrannical army, he can have a public identity to spend the capital, and most importantly, he can have a place to house these eight people without being discovered. ”

Although the thief friend Bei Hai didn't know who this main envoy was, almost every word he said could be reminiscent of Jiaoqi Bei Hai: she was rich, powerful in the army, and she was the princess of Fengquan. Most importantly, if the eight Assassins lived in the Fengquan Palace, or the Fengquan King's Annex, they would definitely not be discovered.

Therefore, when the thief friend Bei Hai finished speaking, the eyes of everyone on the scene looked at Jiaoqi Bei Hai intentionally or unintentionally. With an unfathomable smile on his face, Emperor Jiahu said to her, "The Assassins can't stand the torture, and they confess that their families will be properly settled after the matter is completed." However, the resettlement requires silver, and each large-value silver ticket is registered in the household department, and it can be found at a check. ”

Silver tickets of less than 1,000 taels can be issued by private firms; Large silver bills of more than 1,000 taels must be issued by Baitong Bank, which is directly under the Ministry of Households; Silver bills of more than 3,000 taels are almost not circulated among the people, and are only used to distribute money to high-ranking officials or the imperial court for military expenses, canal repairs, and bulk purchases.

The families of the eight Assassins would have to be financed with a large sum of silver, and a closer look would likely reveal the accounts of the owner of the ticket. But not only did Jiaoqi Beihai not know about this matter, but even Wei Yangyang, who grew up in Haixi, didn't know. Wei Yangyang only has ten taels of silver per month on weekdays, and he doesn't even use silver tickets, just broken silver. After she came to Huadu, her consumption increased, and she only used one hundred and eighty taels, and she had no chance to use thousands of taels of silver.

In fact, the thirteen assassins were all dead, but the Ministry of Criminal Affairs blocked the news in time, and only the Wei family at the scene knew about it. Jiao Qi Beihai never expected that the silver tickets she gave to those assassins would actually be able to find her. She made all the preparations, but in the end it fell short!

Emperor Jiahou didn't actually call her name, but just wanted to deceive her. What she gave to the Assassin at that time was also the silver she had brought from the Tyrant, not from the Fengquan Palace, and it was not possible to find her here. But when she heard the Assassin's confession, her heart shattered. In order to support the Tyrannical Country, she can be said to have dedicated her all. Now he ended up with the second brother raising an army, the eldest brother being killed, losing power, falling out of favor, having no children, and being betrayed by the assassins.

Shen Minghuang saw that Jiao Qibei Hai's face was a little wrong, but as long as he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it, his father might not have any physical evidence in his hands. He reached out to shake Jiao Qibeihai's left hand, trying to give her some hints. But the tacit understanding between the two of them was still a little worse than Shen Mingyuan and Wei Yangyang, Jiaoqi Beihai was not persuaded by him, but shouted frantically: "Yes, I want to kill Wei Yangyang, it has nothing to do with others!" ”

When the thief Bei Hai heard this, he also fully understood what was happening. For him, the first important thing is to quickly draw a line with Jiao Qi Beihai: "Sister, your princess has done a good job, what are you going to assassinate Princess Qinghe?" Jiao Qi Beihai glared at him fiercely: "Wei Yangyang's mother's family can support her, what about me?" Since I came to Huadu, what has my mother's family helped me? ”
