Ye Yongjia didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "Of course! Now that this is evidence, when will it be? You and I immediately entered the palace to face the saint and put Chen Dang to death! ”

Seeing that the two of them were in high spirits, Cui Shi couldn't help but be a little worried, so he took a step forward, raised his eyes and asked, "What if...... What if the Tiger is real? ”

"Really? That's ......" Ye Yongjia was just halfway through speaking, when his eyes suddenly widened, and he realized that something was wrong, and he sat down slowly, nodding slightly, "Yes...... If the Hunan people deliberately gave a real tiger card, then once we present it to the emperor, we will be suspected. It is possible for them to set such a trap. ”

Cui Yi frowned and said, "But this is also an inconclusive thing." Wouldn't it be a pity if the opportunity was lost because of hesitation? What's more, the tiger head card is related to military power, which is extremely important, if it is really stolen, it will already be rumored in the palace. ”

"This is not necessarily," Ye Yongjia shook his head, "Without the Tiger card, the imperial court will probably not go around making noise, but will investigate secretly." ”

"So what do you want to do?"

"Let's stay put," Ye Yongjia said, "First, let's wait and see the situation, second, continue to search for evidence, and when everything is ready, we will have to win." ”

"Okay," Cui Yi hung his head in despair, "What should Lan Yuan do with it?" Do you still trust him? ”

Ye Yongjia said: "Of course, but you have to take a little precautions." Send a few more men to keep an eye on him. ”

In the silent middle of the night, the palace gate suddenly made a dull sound, and as soon as the two door panels opened, a dazzling fire suddenly drilled out of the corridor, and saw that it was a group of forbidden soldiers, and they all rushed the healthy horses they were riding and poured into the barracks.

"What's wrong?" Shi Xiushen walked from the hall and put on his helmet.

A lieutenant general clenched his fists and said: "A tiger head card has been lost, I don't know how many days." ”

Shi Xiushen's heart was shocked, and he wandered frantically from side to side, his mouth smacking; Everyone thought he was thinking about how to get Tiger back, so they didn't bother him.

In fact, Shi Xiushen's intention is not here, but in the treacherous court. Although he was a soldier and did not have a clear understanding of the situation of the party dispute, he also noticed the strangeness of this incident. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a burden like a thousand catties on his body, as if his own thought would determine the future of Chen Ye's two parties.

"Follow me to report to the emperor first." Shi Xiushen obviously came up with the result, and immediately said to the generals.

"Can the news of the theft get out?" After listening to Shi Xiushen's recital, the emperor asked calmly.

"Wechen is very strict in secrecy."

"Well, I'll only discuss with the two of you today," the emperor's gaze turned to his newly summoned comrade Chen, "Chen Qing, who do you think stole it?" ”

Comrade Chen cautiously kowtowed: "The minister does not dare to discuss his colleagues, he only knows that the tiger relationship uses troops, and he often sends them to the military department for the other side to transfer troops and send generals, I am afraid that the military department is the most suspicious." ”

"I'm about the same as you think," said the Emperor, "and I'll send you to oversee the military headquarters." If you see any unusual movement there, you must play it, understand? ”

Comrade Chen responded: "Weichen takes the order!" Then according to the emperor's order, he retreated.

Shi Xiushen also planned to leave with him, and walked to the door, but was stopped by a shout: "Slow, I will tell you a few more words." ”

Shi Xiushen had no choice but to turn around and kneel on the ground: "Please give an edict to the emperor." ”

"Comrade Chen has gathered a lot of people to follow him, and it's hard to say whether he is selfless," the emperor gently rubbed his cuffs, "I use him, just to see that he is not in harmony with Ye Yongjia, and he will be able to work hard." ”

Shi Xiushen understood what the emperor meant, so he said: "That minister might as well order a person to follow him, but...... Your Majesty needs to write an edict. ”

The Emperor smiled with satisfaction: "Your idea is good, tomorrow, I will put it into practice." In addition, you must remember: during this time, he is not allowed to have any contact with the Hunan people. ”

"Remember."

"Everything is settled," the Emperor lay down lazily and let out a long sigh, "I want to see who is the rebel beside me!" ”

The door of the room was knocked open by Lan Yuan again, and it was still Cui Yi who came to open the door. The messenger handcuffed him and closed the door, and he asked, "Why doesn't Lord Ye see me?" ”

"Lord Ye is not in good health, and all the affairs of the Criminal Department are handed over to me for disposal, and there is no other reason. If you have anything to say to me, say unto him. Cui Yi said as he sat back down in front of the desk.

"I meditated...... And came up with a name. ”

"Who?" Cui Yi was excited, accidentally knocked over the pen holder, and hurriedly bent over to pick it up.

"Cunzhao."

Cui Yi was slightly stunned: "He? Also related to this Tiger? ”

"I heard that he had a few contacts with Chang Zhenren in those years, but I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I wasn't impressed." Lan Yuan replied respectfully.

"Okay, you add these words to the confession, and I'll go to interrogate Cunzhao to see if I can pry his mouth open!"

"Wait!" Lan Yuan suddenly grabbed Cui Yi's arm, "Master Cui, don't get too excited, it's easy to make mistakes." Now that the Hunan people are watching here, they will make a big battle, and outsiders will suspect it. Moreover, Cunzhao has been imprisoned twice, and he knows that he will definitely die, and he may not be willing to recruit. ”

"It's also ......" Cui Yi remembered the conversation between him and Ye Yongjia the day before yesterday, and he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring here.

Lan Yuan continued, "I have a plan to induce his confession and ensure that nothing goes wrong. You first write a note saying that if you can make meritorious service, you will be guaranteed to get out of prison; Then he sent two henchmen, pretending to be from Dali Temple, to summon Cunzhao to the study and let me meet him. At that time, I will deceive him with my own words. If the adult is really not at ease, he can let people eavesdrop outside the door, and the villain will not hide it. ”

Cui Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, tore off a note from the waste paper pile next to him, and wrote exactly as he told him, and wrote it in a moment.

Just as Cui Yi was about to hand it over to him, the latter pursed his lips and said with a wry smile: "It's not that the villain is troublesome, but because of the trickery, if it's just like this, it's not enough to convince him." Please put on another big seal, or ...... The villain can't use the trick. ”

Cui Yi was suspicious, looked at him for a while, and saw that his gaze was resolute, and there was no trace of abnormality, so he believed it to be true, took out the big seal of the criminal department, and covered it deeply.

For the sake of safety, Cui Yi specially went to ask Ye Yongjia, and Ye Yongjia had no suspicions, only gave a few words of strict vigilance, and allowed him to go; Cui Yi was willing to let go of his hands and feet, untied the shackles and shackles for Lan Yuan, ordered someone to change him into a well-fitting cloth clothes, and let him sit in the study to eat tea and wait, as a courtesy.

"The escort of the convict has arrived."

Lan Yuan took a nap a little, and when he heard the voice, he raised his eyelids, yawned, and a smile gradually bloomed on his face: "Okay, I'm tired of you, let's all go down." ”
