"Please come in."

Lu Tingci opened the door and invited the old servant into the house. The old servant saluted in a panic, sat down across from him, and kept looking around.

"You don't have to worry," Ting Ci said with a smile, "This is the study room of the Imperial Historical Tower, and no one usually comes here, so don't hesitate to say anything." ”

"Oh, oh," the old servant nodded several times in a row, "but I don't know if you know about Lord Ye and Master Zeng?" ”

"Director Choi has already told me."

"Okay...... the old servant was relieved, so he didn't say more, and went straight to Su Zongshan's letter, "You see, Su Xiang has already written down how to conceal the merger, how to burn the evidence, etc., and the adults can use this word to launch an impeachment." I should have taken the letter back to the lord first, but when I heard that the situation was urgent, I thought that it was difficult to enter the military department, and the imperial history platform had the responsibility of searching for rumors, so I came to hand it to my lord. ”

"You are a domestic servant, but you know a lot about the affairs of the court......" As he spoke, Tingci took the letter, glanced at it a few times, but frowned, folded and opened the letter, opened and folded it, and so on several times.

"These things are all related to Zeng Liang, he is not afraid of being implicated?" Lu Tingci then asked.

"The old man only thinks about revenge on his former enemies, and has no intention of self-preservation. Besides, Lord Ye should try his best to save him, otherwise...... You also know the consequences. ”

"Of course, Zeng Gong is our ally, not a tool to be used. Go back and tell him this. With that, Lu Tingci stood up and shouted outside the door: "Someone! Drop-off! ”

With no one around him, he could finally ponder. He sat down again, looking at the dark and oppressive space, and he didn't make a decision. The reason why I am worried about this is not because Su Zongshan is alone, but because of the bloody storm that may be caused by this, a crazy purge. This method is like a sharp knife, once unsheathed, it must be killed.

The hesitation is not out of inner compassion, but the prudence unique to those in high positions, after all, with the future of the world in hand, hundreds of millions of lives, if you only care about the battle for the portal, it is very likely to overturn the old rut of Yan Wen and Niu Yuan.

What the Chen Party is fighting with us is nothing more than a political matter, and they are all for the public, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. However, now in the court, only talk about factions, not right and wrong, once the impeachment is launched, it is inevitable that some people will take revenge for personal gain, and they will be wronged,' Lu Tingci thought, "Moreover, Su Zongshan has always been neutral, and forcibly criticizes it as the Chen Party, and there will be criticism in the end......

He casually opened a copy of "The Mean" on the table, and suddenly thought: 'I have read the book of sages since I was a child, if I use this technique to reverse black and white, then how different is the way I am doing from a villain?' If you do whatever it takes for the illusory ideal in your heart and fall into reality, you will eventually harm hundreds of millions of people in the world......

Indignant, he grabbed the letter and wanted to put it in a candle to burn it, but he calmed down instantly: "Lord Ye doesn't know about this yet, so it's better to ask his opinion." He can't be wrong, he should be......'

So he shook his head, repacked the letter, took it out of the study, handed it to a trusted confidant, and said, "Send it to Ye Yongjia's mansion." ”

The henchman bowed down to receive the order, walked straight through the main hall, and walked towards the gate. Zhongcheng Ge Mingwei was busy with official business in the guest hall, and inadvertently looked up and caught a glimpse of the letter held by the henchman, and couldn't help but be suspicious, so he put down the pen and paper, quietly followed him out of the door, and when he arrived at a road where no one was around, he stepped forward and patted his arm: "Alas! What did Master Shi tell you to do? ”

The henchman was a little stunned: "Oh, it's to give this letter to Lord Ye." Don't...... Do you think there's something going on? ”

"Where did the secret come from!" Ge Mingwei laughed out loud in embarrassment, "Hasn't Lord Ye been sick lately?" It is also appropriate to ask about the condition. Let's go. ”

He said goodbye to the henchman, turned around and pondered, "The person Brother Lu received just now is very suspicious, and he wants to transfer it to the Ye thief, somehow...... I have to tell Chen Gong! Brother Lu, it's a matter of the safety of the current situation, I really can't help it...... 'Thinking like this, he temporarily returned to the Yushi Taizhong, anxiously calculating the time of retirement, once it is at that moment, he must go to the ministry, otherwise it will really be too late.

On the first day, the self-striking bell in Zhuang Zhang's hand rang. He knew that he had to make a big move at night, so he took advantage of the daytime to take a nap, and then he woke up suddenly. He hurriedly put on a red robe and walked to the brightly lit camp, the fierce fire burning in his eyes: "Do you know the movements of Captain Song?" ”

"Got it. He was about to go to the Inner Chamber. ”

"Be sure to catch him before he arrives, and get the stolen goods!" Zhuang Zhang clenched his fists, and his tone was unquestionable, "Immediately order the team and go with me!" ”

Song Duwei took Cui Yi's paperwork and walked on the stone road leading to the Inner Province as usual. He enjoyed the quiet environment very much, and his steps seemed unhurried, but after a while, he suddenly felt a little stuffy in his chest, as if his breath was not very stable, so he walked faster and faster, and the road became narrower and narrower; Realizing that something was wrong, he turned the corner again, and a pair of thick arms swooped down on him, knocking him to the ground and holding him down.

"Don't move!"

As soon as Song Duwei looked up, he saw a bright blade facing his neck.

"A bold rebel, he dared to collude with the Ye Party, and he became a soldier in vain!" Zhuang Zhang walked out and shouted.

"Zhuang Siban, have you forgotten Shi Gong's kindness!" Chen Duwei's eyes were red, and he shouted unwillingly.

Zhuang Zhang did not answer, but directly snatched his letter, tore open the cover, and took out a brand new silver ticket from it. "Good guy, Ye Yongjia is really willing to spend blood! In order to dictate the autocratic power, the emperor is overthrown, and his hands are stretched out into the forbidden! Song Duwei, you and I are so bad colleagues, explain quickly, did you have a conspiration with them? Can they be rebellious? ”

"Full of nonsense! Full of nonsense! Song Duwei said angrily, "I will never do anything treacherous!" Zhuang Zhang, you can't escape the punishment until you die! ”

Zhuang Zhang was ashamed and ashamed, turned his back and went, and immediately waved his big hand, ordering Song Duwei to be tied up and taken to the Hunan people, all the way but he heard the scolding endlessly.

The Hunan people took Song Duwei, and without saying a word, they started to torture, tortured in every way, and beat Song Duwei to the point that his skin was open, and his clothes were full of blood, but he couldn't hear a word, and he didn't see a move for a long time. The Hunan people were furious, so they had to write a few false words and force him to draw a bet before he gave up. He excitedly brought it to Lan Yuan to see, and while wiping the sweat from his palms, he said, "Now that this matter is done, I will wait for the last step." ”

"Which step?" Lan Yuan asked.

"That's what I took to see Su Zongshan. He is the prime minister, and his position is very important, if he can go with him to the emperor to make a painful statement, the Ye Party will definitely be defeated! ”
