The forbidden soldier who was ordered to deliver the letter finally arrived in Laizhou. But he didn't know anything about the situation here, and after asking around the city, he learned that Rong Qing had gone to Dengzhou. This sudden news made him at a loss and even more confused, and he couldn't think of a way for a while. Just when he was thinking about it, his brain was hot, and he went directly to the palace gate to ask for a meeting, and made it clear that he had come to hand over the letter and the letter to the family on the order of Mrs. Rongqing. The gatekeeper hurriedly called the eunuch, who led him into a room, and then ordered the soldiers to be tied up and imprisoned in the warehouse, waiting to be released.

Niu Yuan, who was guarding in Laizhou, did not dare to be self-conscious, and urgently ordered the eunuch to carry a letter to the family and send this person to Laizhou for interrogation.

The two letters were handed over to Liu Zhennian, who thought that the complaint was nothing more than a begging word, and that it was not very important, so he threw it into the paper basket and went to open the family letter.

Who knows that the content of this book is only a short line: 'What is the current situation in Laizhou?' I hope the old man can answer. If it is convenient, send messengers more often to communicate with each other, so as not to be deceived by thieves. There was nothing superfluous to his disappointment.

Liu Zhennian wondered very much, since he didn't know much about the situation in Denglai, how could he write a statement. Curiosity suddenly broke out in his heart, so he turned the case out again, tore open the cover, and saw that there were several notes inside, where was the complaint of injustice, all of which were the evidence of Rong Qingming's guilt.

Each of these was stamped with his own seal, and some were given to Zhang Longlu, writing: 'The willow thief coerced the emperor to go on patrol, there must be a different plan, and the official had a plan to kill the thief, and he should give a huge reward afterwards, hoping that the governor would help'; and there was also an order to his own henchmen, which wrote, 'This matter needs to be extremely careful, do not alarm the Jingshi, so that I can monopolize the great work', etc., all of which are confidential documents, which are enough to restrain Qing to death.

Liu Zhennian frowned, read it several times, became more and more suspicious, and immediately called the eunuch in charge: "You take these forms, quickly show them to the person who sent the letter, and ask who gave them to him!" ”

The eunuch was terrified and took up the evidence, and went into the room to put the messenger up for trial.

"Who gave you these things?"

The sender looked at them one by one and was stunned: "This is ...... The servants of the forbidden mansion gave it to me. ”

"What is it like? Can you know the word? ”

"Looks ......strong," the messenger pondered for a long time, but couldn't remember the person's face, "Actually, I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and I didn't know the name or anything." ”

"This handwriting is forbidden by your family?"

"No, absolutely not."

"Is this a fake?" The eunuch felt as if he had grasped the point, and asked reluctantly.

"Not necessarily. Generally, family letters are written by the forbidden person, and official documents and recitals are written by Xu officials, because their style is neat and solemn. ”

After hearing this, the eunuch felt very lost, and tried some inconsequential topics, that is, to record his confession and watch it with Liu Zhennian.

Liu Zhennian didn't expect that a good case would become so complicated, and he knew that there was nothing he could do, so he had to order someone to temporarily convict Rong Qing, load it with the messenger in a wooden prison car, and return it to Laizhou again.

Even Niu Yuan didn't expect that coming back this time did not end the case, but instead bred a lot of problems. He hurriedly went to Liu Zhennian to ask for clarification, but the latter was still looking at the notes in a daze.

"Let's take a look," Liu Zhennian tossed him the things in his hand, "that good messenger is here, your plan won't work." ”

"You believe me, this evidence is all forged by someone else!" Niu Yuan glanced at it a few times, and then angrily threw the note, "Shi Siban has found out earlier, and this matter is the prince'......"

"We all understand this, isn't it the reputation that is bad." Liu Zhennian waved his hand, "What's more, killing only one Rong Qing can also deter the government and the opposition." ”

Niu Yuan admonished: "This matter has not yet reached the point where there is no way to investigate, and there must be no disaster." If his prince can fake these ones, I don't believe that there are all flaws! ”

"What about Qing's opinion?"

"When the hundred officials in the capital are unprepared, they should secretly bring His Majesty back to Luan, and after arriving in Beijing, they will first claim that Taisu and Cunzhao have colluded to rebel, and suddenly arrest him, and kill him by surprise." Niu Yuan boldly proposed.

Liu Zhennian nodded: "This strategy is very good. But the words that come out are like water spilled, and you can't get it back. If they were well prepared and didn't leave any clues, wouldn't it be a big deal? You need to take a certain amount of risk. ”

Niu Yuan kowtowed without a crown and said: "Since the subordinate followed the general, he has made a lot of suggestions, but none of them are as important as today. If Niu is not allowed to kill the rebel party and open up the situation for the general, he is willing to give up the official to others and resign to the township! ”

Cun Zhao waited for the messenger day after day, but never saw him come back, so he categorically expected that he must have been buried there, and the forged evidence should all fall into the hands of Liu Zhennian. He was reluctantly relieved, he had done everything he could in such a dazed situation, and the rest was only to resign himself to fate.

In order to prevent accidents, he also specially instructed the forbidden troops of each battalion to strictly guard the four gates, and no matter who passes, they must fly first. Cun Zhao hadn't slept for several days, and today he finally felt okay and light, and his eyes couldn't open as soon as his head was on the pillow.

Tonight's moonlight is very dazzling, and the sound of the third watch seems to be clearer than usual, which actually makes Cun Zhao wake up.

"Why didn't you close the window...... "He muttered in his heart, wanting to lock the window, but he felt less sleepy than before, so he simply walked out of the official office and paced in the moonlight in the inner garden.

When he came to the gate of a temple, he saw a man rushing from afar, and he shone it with a torch in the distance, and it was the forbidden soldier under his hand.

"What's wrong?"

"Your Excellency, it seems that the emperor's car is coming from the south gate! The brothers were afraid that the Liu Party was doing the trick, so they did not dare to open the door without permission. ”

"What?" Cun Zhao was shocked into a cold sweat, and the whole person got up from his drowsiness, "Why didn't I know that the emperor had returned to Luan?" ”

He thought anxiously for a while, and then he slapped his forehead and sighed, "It's broken! It must be that the Liu Party concealed the emperor's whereabouts, how did I expect this move! ”

"Si Ban, the brothers are still struggling with each other, please give us an explanation as soon as possible!" The soldier's anxiety was all written on his face, and he was so anxious that he knelt on his knees and kowtowed two or three times.

Cun Zhao stretched out a few fingers, thinking of a plan to deal with it in his mind, and suddenly a flash of inspiration, he pressed his fingers and wiped away the sweat on his head: "You just tell the brothers like this, just say that in the middle of the night three watches, you can't see the other party's face clearly, I don't know if there is fraud, use this as an excuse, how long can it be delayed!" ”

"That'...... What about you? He stood up, not forgetting to say a word of concern.

"Me?" Cun Zhao's eyes were only dull for a moment, and then a golden light flashed, "I'm going to meet the prince!" ”
