Soldier Cao Chang shook violently, blood flowed out of the body of a knife, he exhaled his last breath, and his eyes saw Yu Chengyue in the chaos.

"Knife ...... In ......"

He whispered, then gasped and hung his head.

Yu Chengyue looked at him in amazement, and his hands unconsciously clenched the hilt of the knife, causing the leather to make a dull sound.

"Lord Xu." Heng Weng approached him when he was in a trance, "The old man asks you to go to the front restaurant for a while."

Yu Chengyue didn't answer, just held the knife and stared at the corpse of the soldier Cao Chang in a daze.

Heng Weng immediately signaled his eyes, and the two men stepped forward to lift him up and drag him back.

Yu Chengyue looked at it intently, his body was dragged farther and farther away, and countless burlap shirted figures walked by, until there was no one on the street, and the corpse that was still holding a knife and kneeling on one knee appeared.

The wind was whistling, the wind and dust were fluttering messily, and the blood-stained black robe was dripping with beads of blood as red as ink.

"Tell me to go down." Heng Weng turned his head sideways and shouted, "Destroy the Money Gang for Lao Tzu today!"

Hundreds of men immediately shouted in unison: "Whoa!"

After they finished shouting, the gate of the Qinglou was immediately fenced.

A moment later, the crowd burst into a noisy fight, and Yu Chengyue couldn't see it, and he was dragged up to the attic of the restaurant.

As soon as the door opened, the man threw him in and left.

"A little cloudy wine." Liu Xiuyong knelt upright on the soft floor, and then looked at Yu Chengyue, "This king has prepared this thin table, and I hope that Lord Yu will not see outside."

Yu Chengyue came back to his senses, he looked sideways at Liu Xiuyong, and immediately struggled to stand up.

"Cheng Yue." Pang Boyi sat by the window, he looked at Yu Chengyue and said, "It's been a long time."

Yu Chengyue was still holding a knife, he looked at Pang Boyi with a bloody face, and said, "Chengyue has seen Pang Sikong and King Jin."

"If it weren't for the quick announcement from the prison today, I wouldn't have known that you had escaped from prison." Pang Boyi got up and grabbed his arm, "Get up, I haven't seen you in all these years, let me take a good look at you."

Yu Chengyue was still in the fright of Fang Cai, his whole body was still trembling at this time, he was helped to sit on the collapse, lowered his eyes and said, "The lower official is fine, Lord Xie Sikong cares."

"Eh, you and I are old acquaintances, so why be polite." Pang Boyi carried a pot to pour tea for him, "I'm frightened, hurry up and eat a cup of hot tea to slow down."

Yu Chengyue didn't take the cup, but clenched the knife tightly and said, "Master Xie."

Seeing this, Pang Boyi had no choice but to put down the teapot, turn around and sit down, and said, "Chengyue, this morning, Your Majesty has a rare return to the court. The first thing is to personally try Jiang Zimo's fornication case, and you were imprisoned by Chen Qiusheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't blame you."

Hearing this, Yu Chengyue's breath calmed slightly, and said, "Lord Sikong is busy with affairs, and the lower officials understand."

Liu Xiuyong rubbed his slender ten fingers, looking like he was wiping a handkerchief with his hand, and he said, "Lord Xu, this king has already understood the details of the Yanzhou case." He threw the veil and looked at Yu Chengyue, his expression soft, "The letter of the queen's brother Jiao Pengxing was revealed, and the family of Ma Fu betrayed it, and Jiang Zimo confessed. This case is like a direct point to an old incident many years ago."

He turned to Pang Boyi as he spoke, and Pang Boyi's eyes frowned slightly when he heard this, looking at the fight on the street outside the window, and he was silent for a long time.

Boom, there was a thunderclap in the sky, thunder flashed between the clouds, and a drizzle followed.

"The case of the fire on the flower boat is a foregone conclusion, and Your Highness needs not worry." The hilt of the knife was against his chest, and Pang Boyi said in a dumb voice, "Besides, Jiang Zimo has already confessed."

The rain dripped down in a channel.

Pang Boyi retracted his gaze, he sighed, then turned to Cheng Yue and said, "Cheng Yue, do you know why Jiang Zimo confessed?"

Yu Chengyue is a smart person, and he knows that every question and answer in the face of Pang Boyi and King Jin is related to his life.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Jiang Zimo confessed, and the forbidden army stationed in Yanzhou would not be able to arbitrarily check and balance the people in the name of quelling the rebellion."

"Yes, when I sent the forbidden army to accompany me, I was concerned about the Jiang family's prestige in Yanzhou. If the people forcibly protect Jiang Zimo, the forbidden army can be

Swing your way and pacify Yanzhou." Pang Boyi propped up the window edge with one hand, "After that, I can send the officials in Shangshutai to succeed him as the pastor of Yanzhou. In the relocation of the people from Menzhou, the port was built, and the navigation was carried through Kyushu. At this point, the deficit of the treasury can be made up, and the conscription order can pass smoothly without hindrance."

But Chen Qiusheng disrupted the situation, and Jiang Zimo's confession. Yu Chengyue admitted from the bottom of his heart that Jiang Zimo's city and vision, he saw far away, far farther than himself.

"But Jiang Zimo pleaded guilty, and the people did not rebel. And Gu Yaozhi, who is now succeeded as the pastor of Yanzhou, used to be a student of Jiang Zimo." Liu Xiuyong took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, "He is a prestigious student in the poor family of Menzhou, and he is also the state pastor appointed by his father. With this move, the road ahead is still uncertain."

Yu Chengyue raised his head and said urgently: "We still have Tongzhou, the benefits of salt and iron can delay the replenishment of the treasury, and the lower officials have also been stored in Daizhou for many years, just to replace the full red pass with the conscription order——"

"It's too slow." Pang Boyi looked at Yu Chengyue and sighed, "Chengyue, relying on Tongzhou alone is too slow, the King of Qin now has a very high reputation in the army, and the queen intends to assist him as the crown prince, so he will drive him away. Only by building a port as soon as possible, the money and goods will continue to flow, the red customs can be determined, and the situation in Kyushu can be determined. After that, the crown prince can be firmly occupied by His Royal Highness the King of Jin."

Yu Chengyue thought about it, his brows furrowed from time to time, he was thinking about what else was possible, what else could be done.

After a moment, he lowered his head and asked hoarsely and blankly, "Is there no other way?"

Liu Xiuyong looked at him calmly and said, "There is no other way."

At this moment, in the prison, several jailers sorted out their newly changed clothes, and one of them carried a wooden bucket full of wheat porridge, and gradually scooped out the food in the midst of a chaotic noise.

"Although you have not pleaded guilty, Chen Qiusheng is thoughtful and has taken too many witnesses. If this case is on the top of the Golden Palace, and it is carefully investigated, it can go straight to the old case of the Yanzhou Flower Boat back then." Pang Boyi looked at him with pity, "You are my most powerful right-hand man, if you can replace it, I will not be able to ask you to fight this crime." However, His Majesty is still suspicious of the case back then."

The jailers have reached the depths of the prison, where felons and important criminals are held. And Ma Fu Huoran was among them, the jailer opened the door, and several people walked in and kicked him awake.

Ma Fu propped up his fat body and asked, "Have you eaten?"

The jailer grinned and said, "Yes, the severed head!"

"Ma Fu has already defended all the blame for the lower officials, Lord Sikong, Your Highness." Yu Chengyue said quickly and urgently, "He will do it all by himself, and it will not involve the lower officials, the lower officials can also serve as the acting state pastor, and they can continue to serve the Lord and His Royal Highness!"

Liu Xiuyong smiled warmly, his eyes gradually narrowed, and he said softly, "I'm afraid, Ma Fu can't fight for you anymore."

Hearing this, Yu Chengyue clenched the handle of the knife and looked at Liu Xiuyong with wide eyes!

Ma Fu's bloodshot eyes widened, two jailers grabbed his hands and feet, and one of them strangled the rope around his neck and pulled it hard!

"I...... Confess ......," Ma Fu shouted hoarsely, "sin!"

The jailer dragged him with all his might, Ma Fu's face turned red and purple, and his legs twitched violently, and then he stopped for a while.

Kick your legs in one go.

"False messenger Luo Chuan!" Yu Chengyue muttered in a panic, turned his head for a moment, and immediately looked directly at Liu Xiuyong, "His parents!" He hurriedly swallowed his saliva and said, "As long as you hold his parents, he will definitely comply, and he will not confess the truth!" z.br>

"Luo Chuan's parents have been secretly picked up, and none of the spies I sent to search have returned." Pang Boyi looked at Yu Chengyue with a calm gaze, "I'm afraid. He has been killed."

The jailer pushed open the cell door, shook the reins with both hands, and said in a fierce voice to Luo Chuan, who saw the murder and his body trembled violently, "You are next!"

"Don't!" Luo Chuan shrank in the corner of the wall and looked around in horror, and pleaded hoarsely, "Don't kill me, don't kill me!!

Several people hugged and dragged Luo Chuan!

Yu Chengyue's face turned pale suddenly, and her body collapsed backwards in a daze, leaning on the ground.

"Your Highness is talking to me about this today." Yu Chengyue looked at Liu Xiuyong in disbelief, "Not to discuss with me, but to kill me?"

"The stakes are high, and this case must not be complicated." Pang Boyi looked at him with a sad expression, "Chengyue, Ma Fu, and Luo Chuan are all small people. This case has come to His Majesty's eyes, and only a person of sufficient weight can completely fill it up. This is an account to Your Majesty."

Cold sweat wet his back, beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, he gasped violently, and a cold chill suddenly appeared in his heart, which seemed to drain his strength and the confidence he relied on to survive.

The situation is settled?

He stood up gasping for breath, the steel knife in his hand pierced the floor, he slowly straightened up, and then stared at Pang Boyi with a red face, and did not speak for a long time.

"Pang Boyi!" Yu Chengyue suddenly shouted, "I am from a poor family, and I have followed you before and after the saddle since Sheng Chong was a teenager, my hands." His hands holding the knife trembled, "These hands have cultivated hundreds of acres of fertile land, studied hard for ten years, worked diligently, fulfilled their duties, and were willing to kill people with a knife for you, and do what the students of the world are ashamed of. And now you're trying to kill me? You're going to kill me!!

Pang Boyi looked at him calmly and said, "In the performance appraisal of the officials of Chongdu back then, the officials from the family who were born in the family were full of wealth and talked about it. But I know every stroke of the political performance, it is you who do it for them so beautifully. Lost in the sea, covered in dust and not seen by the world, you are a capable person who is truly talented and hard-working."

Pang Boyi stood up on his knees, looked at Yu Chengyue with admiration, and said, "Register and register, divide the land, even how many sugar gourds in the market should be sold for money today, and how many plants should be sold tomorrow, you can undoubtedly calculate. From that moment on, I knew that you were the pearl of the sea. And I'm going to make you shine!"

The rain was rapid, the drizzle was pouring down, and the thunder flashed in the blink of an eye, revealing a white light, illuminating the extreme faces of the two people very vividly.

"Do you remember? Okay, very good, I will plan for you and kill all the governors of Qizhou, and even the emperor's favored concubine Chu Guifei will die in the flower boat. What you want, what you want." Xuan Chengyue was furious, he hit his chest one after another with the hilt of his knife, and roared heartbreakingly, "I've given it all to you, all of it, you don't want enough, do you want my life?!"
