Chapter 141: Key Evidence
Zhang Shuyuan helped Ye Suiyun up and said, "Ye Shaoxia, after saying goodbye to the mountains, I have been thinking about you." Burn? Wen Xiao?? Said I accidentally talked to Li Fu this time, and I learned that you are now in Chang'an, so I asked him to bring you to see you. ”
Ye Suiyun was moved in his heart, speechless, remembered the banquet, and said: "At today's palace banquet, Mr.'s high-minded remarks are extremely exciting, embarrassing Na Jiwen's refuge, and he is really happy. ”
Zhang Huanyuan was a little surprised and asked, "How do you know about the emperor's banquet today?" Before Ye Suiyun could answer, Li Fu smiled and said, "This kid must have listened to me and went in to find Chao Heng." Zhang Yuyuan was even more curious: "Lord Chao? Ye Suiyun explained that he was going to the secretary to supervise some files, and he didn't mention his life experience, so he didn't believe Zhang Shuyuan, but it was a long story, and he didn't want to go into details.
Zhang Yuyuan didn't ask much, nodded and said: "Lord Chao is loyal and upright, and he is a good minister of a generation. At today's banquet, he also helped me. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Jiwen will be entangled. ”
Ye Suiyun said: "Ji Wen, this old boy, is not well-intentioned. He was bent on making things bigger, so as to instigate the emperor to hand over the military power and cheapen Li Linfu. ”
Zhang Yuyuan praised: "If this is the case, it is the same as I guessed. Unexpectedly, Ye Shaoxia also saw the key to it. ”
Ye Suiyun shook his hands wildly when he heard this, and said, "Mr. is raised, boy, I can't see these doorways, they were all told to me by Mr. Zhu Jianqiu." Then he talked about the meeting with Qin Yiyan and others on the night of the Shangyuan Festival.
Li Fu said lightly: "Li Linfu wants to get rid of the prince first." Zhang Huanyuan said: "Li Linfu is really ambitious, I just vaguely felt that something was wrong before, it turned out that Ji Wen urged the troops today, and there was such an intention behind it." ”
Ye Suiyun said: "Fortunately, Mr. was far-sighted and smashed the conspiracy on the spot, and the emperor did not agree to send troops in the end." ”
Zhang Yuyuan was not happy, sighed after groaning, shook his head and said: "No, although I have convinced the emperor today, Li Linfu's goal has been achieved. Ye Suiyun was puzzled: "Why did Mr. say this?" They didn't succeed. ”
Li Fu snapped his fingers and said, "Although he didn't succeed, he has already laid a foreshadowing in the emperor's heart, making him pay attention to the influence of the Valley of the Wicked." ”
Zhang Huanyuan nodded and said: "Yes, after some debate in the palace today, if the Valley of the Wicked Really stirs up any big moves in the future, at that time, I am afraid that without Ji Wen's instigation, the emperor will not sit idly by." In the emperor's heart, from today onwards, the Valley of the Wicked is no longer an ordinary reckless bandit, but a force that can threaten the Tang Dynasty. Li Linfu is a good move. Li Fu nodded and said: "When the time comes, the surname Li will play tricks again, and the command of the army will ultimately belong to him." ”
Ye Suiyun was dumbfounded, and said half-loudly: "I see." Such intentions are really difficult to prevent. Li Fu smiled slightly and said, "If you want to say that this is also thanks to you." Ye Suiyun was confused and looked at him in a daze.
Li Fu said: "If it weren't for the inexplicable collapse of the two main forces of White Emperor City and Rilun Mountain City, he wouldn't be in such a hurry now." He laughed.
Ye Suiyun realized that he was ridiculing himself, and smiled awkwardly. Li Fuyi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Bring you to Mr. Zhang, and the next task has been completed, so don't leave it at that." He nodded slightly at Zhang Yuanyuan and left.
Ye Suiyun said to Zhang Huanyuan: "Sir, at today's banquet, I am fortunate to see the demeanor of the predecessors of the Haoqi Alliance. That Xie Meng's dominance is indeed a hero among people. But in the eyes of the younger generation, with all due respect, it seems that his actions are a little sleek, but he is not as straightforward and open-minded as Mr. Dare to ask what kind of person is the leader of the Xie League? ”
Zhang Shuyuan smiled slightly and said, "You kid, you've only been a few days old, and you dare to talk nonsense like this." Ye Suiyun was said to be hey and happy, and he was not ashamed.
Zhang Huanyuan said: "Master Xie was born in Tiance Mansion, although he is not a famous family, but he is indeed brave and extraordinary. Over the years, he has presided over the confrontation between the Haoqi Alliance and the Valley of the Wicked, and he has also made great achievements. That's why I have no objection to him sitting as the leader of the alliance. ”
Ye Suiyun saw that although he praised Xie Yuan vigorously, he seemed to have a worried face. After a pause, Zhang Huanyuan said again: "The only thing to worry about is that his desire to make contributions seems to be too eager, and it can even be said that it is a bit overkill. Sometimes, in order to fight against the Valley of the Wicked, or to enhance the prestige of the Haoqi Alliance, it is inevitable to act in an extreme way, but I have never thought that if you want to hurry, you will not be able to achieve it. He let out a long sigh.
After hearing this, Ye Suiyun said disapprovingly and casually: "Who knows if it is for the reputation of the Haoqi Alliance, or his own reputation." I don't know what the reason is, he just resisted Xie Yuan from the bottom of his heart.
Zhang Shuyuan looked at Ye Suiyun's eyes and seemed to flash a trace of consternation, and then returned to normal, and smiled: "Young man, you love to talk nonsense." ”
Ye Suiyun didn't care, and said, "By the way, there is one more thing to ask Mr. Zhang Shuyuan said: "What? Ye Suiyun said: "A year ago in Yangzhou, the younger generation was helped by the seniors of your league Sikong Zhongping, and they were able to solve the big problem. Now after more than a year, I miss him very much. But for some reason, I couldn't see him in the team entering Beijing this time, and I dared to ask Mr., where is he now? ”
Zhang Yuanyuan's gaze darkened, stared at Ye Suiyun for a long time, and said slowly: "It seems that you don't know yet." Ye Suiyun didn't know what he meant, and shook his head.
Zhang Huanyuan said word by word: "Sikong Zhongping died in Bowang Mountain half a year ago. ”
After leaving Zhang Yuanyuan's residence, Ye Suiyun walked alone on the street, and the buzzing in his head just now finally calmed down. He couldn't figure out how a martial arts master like Sikong Zhongping could die so easily. According to Zhang Huanyuan, Sikong Zhongping's body was not injured inside or out, there was no trace to prove that he had done anything with people before he died, and there were no traces of poisoning after examination, so it can only be determined that he died of a sudden illness. Ye Suiyun secretly thought, assuming that the murderer was replaced by himself, even if he shot with all his might, with Sikong Zhongping's cultivation, it would be impossible to achieve such an invisible and traceless effect, let alone others, it seemed that it was indeed not someone else's murder. Thinking of the disgraceful death of a generation of chivalrous people, I can only lament in my heart.
Ye Suiyun felt nostalgic for his old friend and walked away. Outside the spirit, he suddenly felt a sense in his heart, and immediately knew that someone was sneaking up on him from behind, and he didn't have time to turn around, and his right elbow slammed backwards, and at the same time reached out to grab the attacker's wrist. Unexpectedly, the other party was extremely skilled, without dodging, and cut his wrist with the other hand.
Ye Suiyun knew that it was powerful, he made a move with his back, it was difficult to exert force, he withdrew his hand between the electric light, turned sideways, and kicked back with one leg, and the three moves were coherent in one go, in order to force the other party away. Who knew that the man still didn't retreat, one arm lifted Ye Suiyun's leg away, and the other hand hit him quickly and incoherently. This is extremely clever, and has attacked the target's defensive circle.
Ye Suiyun secretly praised in his heart, 'Defending the middle and leading the attack, so powerful'. Although it was critical at this moment, he was chaotic and not panicked, his hands didn't have time to retract, and he spun his knees to hit a green dragon tail swing, and finally defused the opponent's attack. Ye Suiyun didn't dare to stop for a while, the 'Blue Waves Turning Waves' palm kicked out with his legs, and after Huo Di kicked out three times in a row, he finally held the ground with his hands and stabilized his body. It was only then that he was finally able to come face to face with the sneak attacker.
Facing the sun, before I could see it clearly, I heard the man: "I only know that your palm is invincible in the world, and how can you even have such a subtle leg technique, how can I chase you." What caught his eye was Leng Xiaoxiao, who was smiling.
Ye Suiyun was overjoyed, and couldn't help but think that he was still wearing a mask, and secretly wondered: "Could it be that he actually recognized me?" ”
Leng Xiaoxiao saw his expression, immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Okay, Ye Daxia, on the first day in the orchid restaurant, I knew it was you." ”
Ye Suiyun laughed, took off the mask, and asked, "How is it possible, the little brother didn't show his feet when he asked himself." ”
Leng Xiaoxiao said: "You are indeed well hidden, but unfortunately as early as when he was in the Tiance Mansion, Mr. Zhu had already made it clear that the young man who followed the second girl Tang must be Ye Suiyun." Therefore, it does not take much effort to recognize you. The two laughed. Leng Xiaoxiao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, I haven't seen you for so many days, I'll invite you to drink." ”
The two found a tavern and asked for the famous wine Sanle pulp and two side dishes outside the altar, and then they said goodbye. After Ye Suiyun went down to Jun Mountain, he talked about the encounter in Caozilin in detail, Leng Xiaoxiao finally understood the ins and outs, and finally said angrily: "Chen Songbo is so bold, he dares to openly attack Jin Wuwei, he is really going to rebel." He was calm by nature, and although he was angry, he still restrained his words and did not attract the attention of others.
Ye Suiyun said: "It's not that he's bold, it's that he's bold in the background." Leng Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Yes, Li Linfu is afraid that he can't wait." It's a pity that he couldn't imagine that with such a vicious method, not only could he not get rid of you, but now you are swaggering to Chang'an City, if you let this old boy know, what do you guess the expression on his face will be? The two laughed heartily again.
Leng Xiaoxiao asked him how he got the Buddha bone relics, Ye Suiyun told the cause and effect, only to listen to Leng Xiaoxiao in amazement, and said: "Such twists and turns and strange things, no one will believe it if they really say it." ”
Ye Suiyun asked, "Mr. Zhu you just mentioned, but Zhu Jianqiu?" ”
Leng Xiaoxiao: "It's not who he is, ordinary people who can deduce things so thoroughly and clearly, as if they have seen it in person." ”
Ye Suiyun said: "On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, I met with Mr. Zhu, when we were surrounded by Ji Wen and the people, I rushed out alone, but I don't know what happened to them? ”
Leng Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "Of course I know about it, and it was precisely because I recognized you that night that I stepped forward to block that master." Ye Suiyun knew that he was talking about Fang Jun, and said coldly: "Unfortunately, in the end, Mr. Zhu, my uncle Qin, Jiao Qifo and Master Wei Jianwei were all arrested by Ji Wen. Li Linfu accused them of forming a party and plotting misdeeds in front of the emperor, and now they are all in prison and waiting to be released. ”
Ye Suiyun's thoughts were confused, and he shook his head and said: "I also said that as long as the prince does not appear, they can return safely, it seems that I want to be simple." ”
Leng Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "Now even the prince's situation is precarious. Ye Suiyunqi said: "What? Leng Xiaoxiao: "Li Linfu said in the report that the prince was also a participant in this secret meeting. It was only one step ahead of everyone else that night that he was not intercepted by the people he sent. ”
Ye Suiyun patted his leg and said: "The old guy is talking nonsense, when I intercepted the prince and his party that day, everyone was still in the city, and even the city gate had not yet come out, so he left first." ”
Leng Xiaoxiao said: "That's right, if it were usual, Li Linfu would never dare to make such a blatant false accusation." But Uncle Qin and the others were arrested that day, not to mention that the incident happened at night. The emperor's most taboo is the secret communication between his subordinates, so he can't help but suspect it. Li Linfu just saw the emperor's suspicions, and took advantage of the situation to involve the crown prince. ”
Ye Suiyun asked, "Is the emperor credible?" ”
Leng Xiaoxiao shook his head and said: "Just because there is no evidence, the emperor did not punish him, but he still reprimanded the prince fiercely." Later, all the inside and outside of the Prince's Mansion were replaced, and even the guards were replaced by the Shence Army. ”
Ye Suiyun sighed dejectedly and said, "I think the prince's life is not very easy now." At this point, Ye Suiyun can be considered to understand a little, no wonder today at the palace banquet of Lin De Palace, the crown prince Li Heng seemed uneasy, and even revealed fear in his words and deeds, it turned out that the root was here. He asked again: "Is there no way to dispel the emperor's suspicions and restore the prince's innocence?" ”
Leng Xiaoxiao said: "There is a way, as long as you check the duty book of the city gate guarding that day, everything will be clear." If the prince went out of the city with his retinue in the evening, the watch book would definitely be recorded. ”
Ye Suiyun said: "That being the case, what are you waiting for?" Leng Xiaoxiao shook his head and said: "The bad thing is that the duty book was taken away first." I secretly investigated, and learned that it was the bad breed of Gwen, who took the booklet. Ye Suiyun suddenly said, "It's Li Linfu again." Leng Xiaoxiao nodded lightly and said, "He naturally thought of this a long time ago and started in advance." ”
Ye Suiyun pondered for a long time, his eyes lit up, and said: "The matter has come to this, I can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, maybe I have a way to get the booklet, as long as this thing is not destroyed." ”
Saying goodbye to Leng Xiaoxiao, Ye Suiyun went straight to Xiangguo's mansion. When I walked to the door, I found that there were many more guards at the entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion than before. Not only that, but along the palace wall, there were several teams of people patrolling back and forth, obviously strengthening the vigilance. Ye Suiyun secretly thought that this was still the case outside, and the guards inside the mansion were only afraid that they would be more strict, and he didn't expect Li Linfu to be so careful. He knew that he couldn't climb over the wall to get inside like he did last time, so he had no choice but to wait outside. In the evening, there was nothing to be done, so I had to return to my accommodation.
On the second day, Ye Suiyun arrived outside the Prime Minister's Mansion early, and watched from a distance, not knowing if he could wait for the person he was looking for. Finally, Huang Tian lived up to his painstaking efforts, and when it was almost noon, he saw Lan Xiang walking out of the door alone, as if he was going to buy something on the street. Ye Suiyun followed closely, and when he got to a place where the Xiangfu guards couldn't see, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
Lan Xiang was startled, and when she heard Ye Suiyun's explanation, she shook her head even more, and said: "Last time, Miss said that I wronged you, and you just want to be a thief, but you want to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to steal things, or my master's things, it's too bold." Don't say that I don't have that ability, even if I do, I won't take you into the house, wouldn't this be to let this girl eat inside and out. Say, the last time you stole into the Prime Minister's Mansion, was it just to steal something? ”
When Ye Suiyun heard this, he thought that this was all a mess, but he had to ask for help, so he had to patiently explain: "This thing is very important, and it is related to the safety of the prince... Before he finished speaking, Lan Xiang said eagerly: "Prince, you said the prince!" ”
Ye Suiyun didn't know why, nodded and said, "Yes, it's the prince." He naturally didn't know that Lan Xiang had been by Li Muchen's side since he was a child, and he could often see all kinds of princes and nobles, and the crown prince Li Heng was naturally among them. As she grew older, the little girl's love began to open, her mind began to change, and she secretly fell in love with this gentle and elegant man. Helplessly, the identities of the two are very different, so Lan Xiang's thoughts can only be silently kept in the bottom of her heart, and she has never mentioned it to anyone, including Miss Li Muchen.
Ye Suiyun wondered how she reacted like this, only to see Lan Xiang rubbing her hands and saying, "It's about the prince, but you can't just sit idly by." Hurry back to the house with me and explain the truth to the young lady. He glanced at Ye Suiyun and said, "Take off the iron guy on your face, the guys in Red Sleeve Xuan don't have this thing." "She was going to go to the silk village this time.
Seeing Li Muchen and explaining what happened, Li Muchen said: "My father's status is so respected, but he still has to fight with people in the court, and this time he has to embarrass His Royal Highness the Prince." After that, he sighed, and asked Ye Suiyun again: "If I help you find this thing, what impact will it have on my father?" ”
Ye Suiyun thought for a moment and said, "This thing can prove the prince's innocence, that's all." It will not endanger Ling Zun's safety. If he has lost anything, it is just an opportunity to hit others. Li Muchen was obviously hesitant in her heart, and after a while, she glanced at Ye Suiyun faintly and said, "Okay, you come with me." If what you want is in the house, let it be in your father's study. ”
Ye Suiyun was overjoyed, followed behind the second daughter, turned around in the prime minister's mansion, and walked to a courtyard. Entering the cabinet building of the courtyard, although there were countless volumes of various kinds in the bookcase in the house, Ye Suiyun saw a blue booklet on the book table at a glance, which read: 'Mingde Gate Value Record'. I asked Leng Xiaoxiao clearly yesterday, and it was indeed these words.
Ye Suiyun was secretly happy to find it so easily, and was about to reach out to get it, when he heard someone at the door ask, "What are you doing?" ”
The three of them were startled, and saw Li Linfu standing at the door with a suspicious face and a sinking face.
