Wei Xiang was taken aback when he received a report from the Taishou of Beidi County that Zhao had been killed for no reason, and immediately entered the palace to ask to see the emperor.

Liu Xun learned that Zhao was killed for no reason by the Huo family, and he was furious.

This Zhao was one of the ten prisoners of Shuofang for no reason, and he encountered an accident on the way to Chang'an. He slammed the book case and shouted, "Be bold and reckless." ”

Several bamboo slips on the bookcase fell to the ground, Shi Gao hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the bamboo slips, put them back on the bookcase, and said softly: "Your Majesty is angry." ”

After Liu Xun vented his anger, he calmed down and asked, "What is Cheng's opinion on this matter?" In his mind, Wei Xiang advocated opening up the Huo family's net, that is, reducing his power and preserving the heroes.

Wei Xiang knew that the emperor was extremely concerned about the ten prisoners of Shuofang, because this act of arson was related to faithfulness. Now that Zhao has encountered an accident for no reason, the emperor expects the ten prisoners of Shuofang to return to the case as scheduled and demonstrate faithfulness, and he is naturally angry in his heart when he faces variables. However, if the emperor punished the Huo clan and the local officials for this matter, then the matter of Shuo Fang's imprisonment must be well known, and the officials along the way will speculate on the intention and deliberately defend the ten prisoners. In this way, the original process of going with the flow and gaining insight into people's hearts will be artificially distorted, and the results expected by the emperor will lose their edifying significance. At the same time, this case involves the Huo family, and direct conflict with the Huo family should be avoided at the moment. Therefore, he thought it would be better to put the matter on hold for the time being.

Wei Xiang made up his mind and arched his hand: "Judging from the report of Beidi County, there are still many details of the Qiannanyi murder case that are unknown, and the minister thinks that it still needs to be verified. However, the law and order of the horse collar was not quiet, and the county order was weak and unfulfilled, and the ministers should urge the county guard to punish him. ”

"That's all?" A hint of surprise flashed across Liu Xun's face.

"Zhao is a suspect in the imperial court for no reason, although unfortunately he died, but the case is not closed, and the Shuofang jailer can hold his tablet and go to the court governor's mansion to bring him to justice." Wei Xiang thought for a moment and added.

Liu Xun Xu Xu stood up, his expression was serious, and his eyes stared at him.

Wei Xiang didn't have a trace of panic, and lowered his eyes.

Liu Xun stared at it for a long time, looked away expressionlessly, and sat down.

He understood that Wei Xiang was right to do so. He couldn't guess why the Huo clan wanted to kill Zhao Wuxuan, maybe it was just an accident. If this case is investigated, the Huo family can completely excuse it and say that the house slave is bold and reckless, and the Huo family has no way to control it, and is willing to wait for the punishment of the imperial court. However, this will also deepen the hostility of the Huo forces.

Although he has been quietly encroaching on the power of the Huo family, it will take time for the power of the DPRK and China that is dependent on the Huo family to become intertwined and destroy the Huo family and revitalize the dynasty. "No haste and forbearance", he sneered in his heart.

"Stand down, all of you." He spread out the slip on the desk and lowered his head to read.

Wei Xiang glanced at Shi Gao, Shi Gao pointed at him, and the two of them retreated out of the Xuanshu Palace.

Outside the hall, Shi Gao was silent for a while, and said quietly: "Who is talking about it?" Wei Xiang suddenly changed color, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Shi Gao didn't wait for him to speak, arched his hand and walked away on his own.

Wei Xiang looked at his figure, and his mind echoed with Qu Yuan's poem he just said, "Who is the only one to talk about", and suddenly remembered that the last two sentences were "The night is lingering and sleepless, and the soul camp is coming to the dawn". In his heart, Shi Gao was hinting that his emperor could not tolerate Huo's misdeeds, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Huo Shan also saw the report of the Taishou of Beidi County in Shangshutai. He was puzzled in his heart, and it was originally agreed that Zhao Wuzhi and his people would be detained, causing a delay, and then killing the ten prisoners of Shuo Fang for the crime of delaying the appointment. However, Zhao was killed for no reason, which seems to be wrong. He hurriedly returned to his house and ran directly to Huo Yu's study.

On this day, Huo Yu was sitting in the study and reading leisurely. Huo Shan broke in in a hurry, he was startled, put down the slip, and asked, "What's so anxious?" ”

"Zhao was killed for no reason." Huo Shan sat down in front of his case, put the Beidi County report on the case, and said, "This is a copy of the report." ”

"Who was killed, Zhao, Zhao what?" Huo Yu looked ignorant.

"Zhao Wuzhi, it is the Zhao Wuzhi of Shuofang."

"Shuofang's Zhao Wushuo, do I know him?"

"Ouch, Chun Yuji, Zhao has no reason, Shuo Fang is ten prisoners." Huo Shan was so anxious that he couldn't even scratch, and beads of sweat fell.

Huo Yu suddenly realized: "This Zhao has no reason." In an instant, his face changed suddenly, he leaned forward and asked eagerly, "He was killed?" Who killed it? ”

"Hengsan."

"Heng San? Heng III. Didn't you say that you just detained them, how could you kill this Zhao Wuxian. Huo Yu couldn't believe it.

Huo Shan said: "The reason for this is not clear. Judging from the report from Beidi County, Heng Si died at the scene, and Heng San did not know where to go. The report also said that the two murderers had claimed to be Huo Fu Jiading in the Maling County Government. ”

"What a mess." Huo Yu's face was gloomy. He thought for a while, then shouted out the door, "Go and invite Feng Gongzi to come over." ”

After a while, Feng Zidu hurriedly came with the servants. Huo Shan handed him a copy of the Beidi County report and said, "Heng San killed Zhao Wushuo. ”

Feng Zidu took the report and read it, and the corners of his mouth twitched inadvertently: "Does the emperor know?" ”

"I know, it's Wei Xiang's report." Huo Shan replied.

"How did he react?"

"It doesn't seem to be a reaction. After Wei Xiang came out, he didn't convey any imperial edicts."

Feng Zidu frowned and fell into deep thought.

Huo Yu didn't dare to disturb him, and after a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Feng Jun, if the emperor investigates this case, the Huo family will be implicated." ”

"Tracking, does it make sense? Even if it is found out that Heng San and Heng Si are the family members of Huo Mansion, what does it matter. The Huo family has nothing to do with this Zhao for no reason, why do you want to harm him? This case is nothing more than a personal dispute between Heng 3 and Heng 4 and him. At most, the Huo family bears the responsibility of not strictly guarding their subordinates. ”

Huo Yu thought for a while and said with a smile: "Feng Jun is still thoughtful. ”

Huo Shan also chimed in: "So the emperor did not issue an order to investigate this case. ”

Feng Zidu was proud in his heart, and he unconsciously showed arrogance, and he didn't look at these two people, and said: "However, our operation was originally aimed at Chun Yuji. Now that the matter has not been done well, we still have to find another way, and we can't let this Chun Yuji threaten the Huo family. ”

Huo Yu and Huo Shan nodded yes and looked at him expectantly.

Feng Zi was a little unnatural by the two of them, turned his face sideways, and his gaze fell on a gilded copper bean-shaped smoker in the corner of the wall. He stared thoughtfully at the light smoke wafting from the lid of the stove.

After waiting for a long time, Huo Shan became impatient and glanced at Huo Yu. Huo Yu blinked and motioned for him to be patient.

Feng Zidu finally raised his head and said coldly: "Take care of Chun Yuji, and kill him as a last resort." and that Wei Xiang, he must also be allowed to settle down. ”

"Okay." After going through so many things, Huo Yu was also upset, and after a little hesitation, he agreed, and then said: "You can hand over a few things to Fan Mingyou." Since Shuo Fang, his subordinates have been following Chun Yuji. ”

Huo Shan asked casually: "Is it that Zeng Yiji?" ”

Huo Yu thought about it and couldn't be sure: "It seems to be." Why do you ask this? ”

"If you have an arrow, you can shoot it from a distance and kill it with a few arrows." Huo Shan laughed.

Chun Yuji was coming to Chang'an with his Hua and Ruoyun at this time, and he didn't know that the future was dangerous.
