East Palace.

"What! The chief judge was replaced by the fourth? ”

Tuoba Yuan jumped like thunder, grabbed the cup in his hand and fell to the ground angrily, and finally caught the handle of the third prince, trying to take advantage of this to bring it down, but halfway through the killing, he bit the gold.

"Zhongshu Province has drafted an edict, and the four princes have been appointed as the chief judge of the 'Feng Ya Ge Hundred Corpses Case'." The strategists beside Tuoba Yuan said.

Losing the opportunity to preside, it is almost impossible to bring down the third prince, but this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Tuoba Yuan must not miss it, even if he can't defeat him, at least tearing off a piece of meat from Tuoba Bodhisattva is enough for him to hurt.

After the anger, Tuoba Yuan became extremely calm: "Over the years, I have indeed gone too far with the third child, and my father's purpose for replacing the fourth child this time is nothing more than to keep the third child." ”

"Finding someone who doesn't help you can minimize the implication. The father's abacus is very good, but the elm head of the fourth child may not do it. ”

The crown prince immediately made his own analysis, if he didn't have an accurate grasp of the current situation, how could he still hold the position of the East Palace under the situation that Emperor Beiliang had the intention of deposing.

"Sir, you should prepare a generous gift for the fourth child, he is a smart man, and after receiving the gift, he naturally understands the meaning of this palace." The prince said to the counselor.

Not long after the strategist left, Huyantuo, the king of Zuogu, came to the East Palace in a hurry, since Huyan Zangfeng was killed, he has been thinking about how to avenge his son, and he has not come to the prince for a while.

Coming here today must have brought reliable news.

Sure enough, Huyantuo whispered something to Tuoba Yuan, and the two let out a grim smile.

"Xiao Wuxin, if you kill my son, this time you will die without a place to be buried."

......

In the past, the residence of the four princes was crowded, but now it is a city, and the small dilapidated courtyard is crowded with people.

Since he was determined to be the presiding judge of the "Feng Ya Ge Hundred Corpses Case", the crown prince and the third prince spared no expense and sent people to give gifts, and their purpose is self-evident.

The down-and-out prince who was once looked down upon by others has turned into a fragrant dumpling that cuts life and death.

The flattered Tuoba Hong quietly hid in Honglu Temple, and the disciples of the crown prince and the third prince were not even found.

Honglu Temple.

Tuoba Hong was also a little panicked, he promised Xiao Wuxin to seize the throne, but if he wanted his father to pay attention to him, it was simply a fantasy.

But Xiao Wuxin did it, just a few words and made himself the chief judge of an important case, he was very shocked in his heart, maybe seizing the throne of Northern Liang is no longer empty talk.

And it was also Xiao Wuxin's arrangement for him to hide in Honglu Temple in advance, and the other party expected that this would be the result, that is, to stage a drama of "the disappearance of the four princes" for everyone.

"Remember, don't chase this case further until Narantz is pursued, otherwise you won't be able to stop the anger of the third prince."

Tuoba Hong nodded yes.

"The most important point is that you will be targeted in the process of trial, and all you have to do is one word: forbearance."

"Only if you can bear it, I'll take care of the rest."

"Understood."

Subsequently, Xiao Wuxin instructed some other matters.

This case is a dead end, no matter what the final outcome is, offending the crown prince and the third prince is inevitable.

And if you want to minimize the drawbacks, you need to find a balance point, and this balance point is: Dali Siqing.

This murder, no matter what, Nalands, who is the secretary of Dali Temple, will not escape responsibility, if he pursues it deeply, he will definitely implicate more officials, but if he does not pursue it, he can explain to the people.

Dali Siqing's position is not low, and sacrificing Narantz alone can not only convince the people, but also implicate others, which can be described as the most perfect solution.

Not only that, but the four princes, who are already well-known among the people, will inevitably harvest a wave of popular hearts by virtue of the "fairness" of this trial of the case.

When the time comes, the position of Dali Siqing is vacant, and the crown prince and the third prince will inevitably fight for blood, and at that time it is also the most critical opportunity for the four princes to come forward.

To put it bluntly, what Xiao Wuxin wants to do is not only to separate the crown prince and the third prince, but more importantly, to push Tuoba Hong into the political center of the Northern Liang court.

This is also a strategy that he and Xu Song conspired to discuss.

It's just that it is not so easy to pull down Nalands, and you need to resort to unconventional means.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Wuxin pushed the door out, and happened to find Yuan Mumu, who was hiding behind the door and eavesdropping, the little girl was ghostly sticking to the door beam, sneaky.

After being discovered, Yuan Mumu pretended to look up at the sky, fighting with each other with his two hands, looking like he had nothing to do with himself.

"Mu Mu, don't you claim to be well-connected in Manchester City? Shall I give you a task? Xiao Wuxin said quietly.

Seeing that the other party was mysterious, Yuan Mumu immediately widened her watery eyes, looked left and right, and put her ears to the past: "What task?" ”

"In the morning, there was news from the palace, saying that he and the filial piety lord would make an appointment with me alone, time: tomorrow at noon; Location: Joy Inn in the southwest of Manchester City, you can find out the truth for me first, in case there is an ambush, it will be bad. ”

Yuan Mumu's face frowned, and he didn't want to say, "It must be fake, don't go." ”

"How do you know it's fake?"

"That...... I guess. Yuan Mumu squeaked and said, "People are princesses, and they come and go in high-end places, how can the princess go to the mixed places of Yuelai Inn." ”

"If it's true, you can help me confirm it first."

Yuan Mumu couldn't say countless words in his mouth, so he could only nod and agree.

Looking at the back of Yuan Mumu leaving, Xiao Wuxin sneered and said, "Little girl, see how long you still hide it." ”

The officials of the Prince's Mansion came to Honglu Temple.

"Your Excellency, the prince is holding a banquet in the East Palace tonight, please be sure to enjoy the light and go to the banquet."

Tuoba Yuan concluded that Xiao Wuxin would not go to the banquet, so he ordered the government official to bring a letter to Xiao Wuxin, and when Xiao Wuxin opened it and read the contents of the letter, the whole person was no longer calm.

He held the letter in his hand, his eyes were full of anger and helplessness, and said, "Go back and tell the prince that I will go to the banquet as promised tonight." ”

After the official left, the fourth prince walked out of the inner courtyard and said, "You can't go, this is the prince's trap." ”

"I know."

knew that it was a weasel who gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, but Xiao Wuxin had a reason why he had to go.
