In the light of the fire, figures flickered.

Li Xuan wore a red dress and gold armor, pressed the eight-sided Han sword in his hand, and walked in front of Xue Zhongzhang with cold eyes.

Bending down slightly, Li Xuan stretched out his hand and patted Xue Zhongzhang's cheek heavily, and said coldly: "This king advises you to think about it, no matter who you are, as long as you are involved with the king of the East China Sea, it will be a dead end, especially you, you better think about it, there is no one in your family...... It has something to do with Prince Yin."

Li Xuan's last sentence was very light, and for a while, only a few people nearby heard what Li Xuan said clearly.

These people all changed their faces the moment Li Xuan's words landed.

Xue Zhongzhang, Hedong Xue.

When the hidden prince Li Jiancheng was still the crown prince, the Xue family didn't know how many clansmen had invested in Li Jiancheng's command.

Of course, the family has always been a family, some people bet on the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and naturally some people bet on Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

Therefore, in a change in Xuanwu Gate, some people in the Xue family in Hedong jumped into the dragon gate, some people fell into the dust, and some people died without a place to be buried.

Although the whole family is fine, some families are ruined, their wives are separated, and their descendants are miserable.

Xue Zhongzhang's breathing suddenly became heavy, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes became sharp.

There were many Hangzhou officials present, and it was clear at a glance that the family branch behind Xue Zhongzhang must have something to do with the hidden prince Li Jiancheng.

Suddenly, everyone subconsciously stayed away from Xue Zhongzhang.

Xue Zhongzhang didn't care about those wall grass at all, his cold gaze fell on Li Xuan, and he said softly: "Although the king of Nanchang is now inspecting the school Qianwuwei Zhonglang General, Jin Wuwei does not have the right to judge the case locally, as for those Qianniuwei, although they have the right to handle the case, they have no right to kill unless they resist."

A hint of luck flashed in Xue Zhongzhang's eyes, he had been in the center for many years, and he knew better than anyone about the authority of the various departments and departments of the DPRK and the Central Committee, however, under his lucky eyes, there was a keen and perceptive look.

However, when he saw Li Xuan's eyes calm and indifferent, he suddenly felt an inexplicable suspicion in his heart.

"So, this king finally asks you, what is the relationship between you and the king of the East China Sea, and why did he give you such a vast courtyard, which is very valuable?" Li Xuan looked at Xue Zhongzhang lightly.

Xue Zhongzhang's face was still full of disdain, and he had no intention of explaining.

Li Xuan nodded calmly, looked at Zhou Qian on the side, and ordered, "Cut it!"

"Whoa!" Zhou Qian nodded, and the long knife in his hand had already slashed through Xue Zhongzhang's throat at great speed.

With a piercing sound, a slender short sword directly blocked in front of Zhou Qianqian's Niu Wei knife, saving Xue Zhongzhang's life at the most urgent moment, and the person holding the short sword was Xue Zhongzhang himself.

Xue Zhongzhang turned over, and in a blink of an eye, he had retreated several meters away, and before he could stand firmly, several Qianniu guards on the opposite side had already taken out several crossbows in their hands, aiming straight at Xue Zhongzhang, and their fingers had already pressed on the trigger.

"Don't mess around, what do you want to know, I just say." A trace of panic flashed in Xue Zhongzhang's eyes, and after he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, and the short sword in his hand was thrown to the ground in an instant.

Li Xuan waved his hand expressionlessly, and Zhou Qian slowly put back the Qianniu knife in his hand.

Xue Zhongzhang breathed a sigh of relief, and then, he looked at Li Xuan with an extremely embarrassed face: "You really dare to kill me?"

"You're stupid." Li Xuan looked at Xue Zhongzhang and shook his head slightly, and said coldly: "You yourself have been transferred from the secretary Lang to the Hangzhou judicial army, and you think that after the departure of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the power and responsibility of this king, the deputy envoy of the Jiangnan Provincial Army, have expired, but why don't you want to think about it, why is this military member Wailang still here now, you don't ask, has his duties been completed?"

What Li Xuan was referring to was naturally Laisui, and the soldiers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came to Sui.

Xue Zhongzhang looked at Lai Sui for the first time, and Lai Sui looked at Xue Zhongzhang coldly, not giving him the slightest information at all.

Xue Zhongzhang thought of it without knowing it

What, his eyes suddenly widened, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then he said with a bitter face: "It turns out that you came to Hangzhou, didn't you accompany your uncle?"

A sneer flashed in the corner of his eye, but he still didn't say a word.

He came to Hangzhou on this trip to supervise the recruitment of sailors by the Hangzhou Navy Division, and accompanied him to serve as the assassin of Hangzhou, but it was just incidental.

In addition, after coming to Hangzhou, he hadn't been to the water master a few times, just like this trip, he was here for a vacation.

However, it is very strange that the king of Nanchang has already left Hangzhou, and he has not left yet, and even looks completely unhurried and not in a hurry.

Xue Zhongzhang originally thought that he would wait until the situation in Hangzhou stabilized before leaving, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

I came to Hangzhou this time for a different purpose and a different responsibility.

The people in the military department are still there, and the duties of the king of Nanchang, the deputy envoy of the army, have not ended.

The power and responsibility of the deputy envoy of the army are still there, so naturally he still has the right to cut first and then play.

"Don't mess around all that nonsense, what's going on with this valuable manor?" Li Xuan stared at Xue Zhongzhang deadly, such a large manor, even if Wen Xu wanted to curry favor with Xue Zhongzhang, the price would be too great.

Xue Zhongzhang's face was suddenly full of astonishment, he looked up at Guan Mi, who was not far away, and said suspiciously: "This is the place where Captain Xiaoshanwen gave the lower officials to live in Hangzhou, this matter should be known to the army?"

"Don't look at him, Qianniuwei has already gone to arrest Wen Xu, you better expect us to be able to catch Wen Xu, otherwise these things will not be clear." Li Xuan stepped back slightly.

One after another opened silver boxes appeared in front of Xue Zhongzhang's eyes, and his whole face was suddenly full of disbelief.

"Tonight, the lifeless black pawns colluded with the Zhoushan Haikou and attacked Hangzhou City at night, and all the people have been annihilated." Li Xuan looked at Xue Zhongzhang and said coldly, "At the same time, someone sneaked into the Assassin's Mansion from the backyard and stole eight thousand copper coins from the silver treasury of the Assassin's Mansion.

Xue Zhongzhang raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously opened his mouth to say something, at this time, Li Xuan directly waved his hand: "Don't make some crooked troubles, all this today has happened in a very short time since the king came back, and the traces on the ground, as well as the guards who were killed in the treasury, can prove the authenticity of all this."

No matter how much you have been involved in this, now this king only wants to know, when the county lieutenant of Xiaoshan Wen transferred this place to you, did you check here, and are there any hidden passages and crypts here?"

"Xiaoshan County Wei Wenxu, are you suspicious of him?" Xue Zhongzhang could hear who Li Xuan was really suspicious of in a word.

Xue Zhongzhang just breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately became nervous again.

Although the king of Nanchang did not seem to doubt him, he suspected that Wen Xu, the captain of Xiaoshan, was the person who was the king of the East China Sea.

It didn't seem like much of a problem for him, but when you actually thought about it, you knew that he was in big trouble.

Naturally, everyone will be punished by the traitor, and he, the same party of the traitor, should not think about any good end.

"And what's going on with you two?" Li Xuan looked at Xue Zhongzhang indifferently and asked indifferently, "You have only been in Hangzhou for a few days, so you have already gotten along with Xiaoshan Wenxu to the point where he gave you such a valuable manor, and you accepted it calmly?"

You are from Chang'an, the heart is sinister, you know better than anyone else. If you can't explain this clearly, you know what the consequences will be."

Li Xuan's voice landed, and in an instant, Xue Zhongzhang's face turned snow-white.

He wanted to say something, but he gritted his teeth and didn't dare to reveal a word.

"Huh?" Seeing Xue Zhongzhang's expression, Li Xuan's face brought a hint of surprise: "Could it be that there is really an unknown connection between you?"

Xue Zhongzhang clenched his fists tightly and said nothing.

Li Xuan quickly turned his head and looked at Zhou Qian on the side

, said in a deep voice: "Send the butler of the Xue Mansion to the Hundred Cavalry Division immediately, and order the Hundred Cavalry Division to interrogate urgently, and there must be no mistake."

"Whoa!" Zhou Qian immediately turned around without the slightest hesitation, and a trace of excitement already flashed on his face.

There was also a hint of surprise on the faces of everyone present, could it be that Xue Zhongzhang really had something to do with the King of the East China Sea.

"You ......" Xue Zhongzhang was shocked and angry, he didn't expect Li Xuan to dare to do something to his housekeeper.

Without waiting for Xue Zhongzhang to finish speaking, Li Xuan waved his hand directly and said indifferently: "It's just a housekeeper, it's not you, the Hedong Xue clan won't care."

Li Xuan's words completely stifled the anger in Xue Zhongzhang's mouth.

At this time, a rush of footsteps came, Xu Zhutou came in from inside quickly, and said to Li Xuan, Lai Jingye and the others: "Returning to the envoy, Captain Xiaoshan is not in the official office, nor in his own home, and there is no trace of him in the restaurants and shops he frequents on weekdays, and no one in the entire Xiaoshan County knows where he went."

Li Xuan looked at Xue Zhongzhang for the first time, and although Xue Zhongzhang's face was embarrassed, he still replied, "I don't know where he is, we drank together last night, but then I drank too much, and then I don't remember anything."

Li Xuan nodded, turned to look at Lai Jingye on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Envoy, Hangzhou City was attacked today, and the lieutenant of Xiaoshan County was in charge of Xiaoshan's military equipment, not only did he not come to reinforce after the accident in Hangzhou, but he also did not guard Xiaoshan County, and now he doesn't know where to go.

He also ordered that Xiaoshan Lieutenant Wen Xu be dismissed from his post immediately, and that he would be wanted in Hangzhou, and at the same time inform the nearby prefectures that as soon as there was any trace of Xiaoshan Lieutenant Wen Xu, they would immediately report it and seize him."

"Yes!" Lai Jingye turned his head to look at Hu Yu, Yuan Yi and Guan Mi on the side, and said in a cold voice: "Hu Changshi, Yuan Sima, and also about joining the army, immediately draft relevant official documents, there must be no mistakes.

In addition, Dalang, you come to write the book, tonight's events, in detail, no mistakes, no omissions, all the center!"

"Whoa!" He immediately gave up his hand, and was about to turn away.

"Slow!" At the last moment, Xue Zhongzhang suddenly spoke, and when he saw everyone's eyes looking at him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and then he arched his hand and said, "Envoy Jun, the contact between the lower official and Wei Wenxu of Xiaoshan County is actually to investigate the news of the traitor behind him, please also make Jun Ming investigate?"

Everyone present looked at Xue Zhongzhang in great surprise, and at the same time felt a trace of admiration, worthy of being the nephew of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, talking nonsense one by one.

Lai Jingye glanced at Xue Zhongzhang calmly, raised his right hand forward, and said coldly: "Evidence, as your Shangguan Sima, as well as Sima Shangguan's assassination history, I have never heard you say this, Xue joined the army, there are some things that can be determined without empty words."

"Proof, I have." Xue Zhongzhang raised his head, looked at Lai Jing, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said, "In the secret compartment in my room, there is a secret order issued by the Criminal Department!"

Lai Jingye looked sideways at Sima Yuan Yi on the side, and said coldly, "Go get it, Sima."
