At night in the snowy mountain city, the cold lights are like beans.

In the backyard of the county government, Zhou Xing was reading "Spring and Autumn" with a candle that was not very bright.

The subtle words are more than a few times.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the county office.

Before Zhou Xing could figure out what the situation was, the next moment, "bang bang bang", the gate of the county government had been directly broken through from front to back.

Immediately after, countless figures flickered outside the window.

The alarmed officials and servants in the county government suddenly let out countless wails of being beaten, and then they heard a "bang", and the door was directly smashed.

Several soldiers in red clothes and gold armor had already rushed in directly, and the person at the head was hanging a thousand knives from his waist, his eyes were cold, and when he fell on Zhou Xing, he said with three points of joke: "You are Zhou Xing who is trying in vain to save the abolished prince." ”

"Ahh Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, and then quickly stood up, although he was a little trembling, he still reluctantly and firmly bowed his hand and said: "This Shangguan, although the lower official asked the prince to be removed from the palace, but everything is for the stability of the government and government, in order to avoid deliberately taking the opportunity to act indiscriminately." ”

"Take the opportunity, what's going on with your chance, and who are you cursing?" Qian Niuwei's words, Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, then his face turned white, and his body finally couldn't help but tremble completely.

……

Qianniuwei, headed by the house, is naturally Su Baotong.

At this time, Li Xuan was standing in the courtyard on horseback.

It couldn't be easier to enter the county seat of Linxian County, Li Xuan didn't even take out the holy decree, and his Qianniuwei had already rushed to the head of the city and directly controlled all the soldiers at the head of the city.

Some of the soldiers originally wanted to resist, but when they caught a glimpse of the red-clothed gold armor on the opposite side, they immediately fell to the ground in fright.

The other party didn't say a word, but they didn't even dare to ask.

In the past two days in the city, especially near the city gate, some people inexplicably said that the eldest lord had asked Chang'an to remove the abolished prince, and everyone suddenly trembled.

The city gate opened, but Li Xuan did not relax.

He was pondering Zhou Xing's personality.

Zhou Xing is a cool official and a villain, there is no doubt about it, but this person, at least at this time, is not so easy to break through.

In particular, he is also a superintendent of imperial history.

If Li Xuan went to see him directly, he would inevitably be involved in a mess by him.

Li Xuan simply let Su Baotong go in instead of him and use the imperial authority to suppress him.

……

Su Baotong glanced out of the window, there was a complete silence outside the window, he knew that Li Xuan was listening carefully, then looked at Zhou Xing again, and asked: "Although you are a villain, but this kind of thing, you don't dare to think about it casually, let's talk about it, who instructed you to do this?" ”

"Commanding?" Zhou Xing raised his head suddenly, with a hint of horror in his eyes.

Of course, someone instructed Zhou Xing, as a supervisor of the imperial history, when he was in Chang'an, he also heard some rumors, but these things were between being credible and unbelievable.

Ten years ago, the emperor was already uneasy and had plans to pass on the crown prince.

But now ten years have passed, the then crown prince Hong has already died of illness, the prince has been deposed, and although Wang Xian is now sitting in the East Palace, the emperor's body is still healthy.

Zhou Xing didn't know that the contents of his book would make the emperor extremely annoyed, but he couldn't help it.

Because only in this way can he return to the court, instead of rotting in this marginal town for the rest of his life.

The officials are secret, and Zhou Xing will never be promoted.

Thinking of the six words written in the secret file, Zhou Xing felt a little itchy with hatred for a while, he was just exaggerating, and while impeaching the generals, he put King Peng in the first place, but he didn't expect that King Peng easily saw the secret, but he was demoted to a foreign place, not to mention, and never promoted.

So when someone sent the three words of the abolished prince to Zhou Xing, he immediately knew what to do.

Abolishing the crown prince, of course, is not abolishing the crown prince Li Xian, of course, it would be best if it could be like this.

But this possibility is unlikely, although Li Xian is not a peerless monarch, he has always had no ambition.

What kind of rebellion, it is difficult to use the means of planting rebellion on him.

In addition, the officials of the East Palace are cautious and polite, and the emperor loves and cares for them, so it is really not easy to provoke.

Then there is only the waste prince who is still imprisoned in the palace.

The abolished prince is imprisoned in the palace, so what needs to be done is naturally to let the abolished prince leave the palace.

The abolished prince stayed in the palace, and once the sky collapsed, he was a threat to the prince, a threat to the courtiers, and even more to the queen of heaven.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xing immediately sent the chapter out, and as the former superintendent of the imperial history, Zhou Xing knew best how to send the chapter to the emperor's desk.

Originally, he was still happily waiting to be recalled, but he never thought that what he was waiting for was the fierce and vicious Qianniuwei.

Even the other party already knows that there are other people's hands and feet behind his back.

This......

"Let's talk about it, this seat is not very patient, if you don't want to tell the truth, this seat can only send the people outside to the Yellow Spring one by one, and then ...... it at the end" Su Bao looked at Zhou Xing with a smile, following Li Xuan for so long, he still learned some people's hearts.

Zhou Xing's face suddenly turned pale.

Although he is not a master of torture now, he has read countless files, and the psychological pressure of waiting for death in this kind of torture has always been the best weapon to extract confessions.

And with Zhou Xing's cleverness, he understands even more that once he starts to die, then everything will slide directly in an uncontrollable direction.

"This Shangguan." Zhou Xing arched his hand forward, then pulled out a page from the book on the side, handed it over, and said with a low head of regret...... Xia Guan didn't know what appeared here, it just appeared suddenly. ”

Looking at the corner of the paper corner that was burned, Su Baotong immediately understood that this thing was real, Zhou Xing probably wanted to burn it, but he directly withdrew his hand at the last moment.

Su Baotong raised his eyes, looked at Zhou Xing and asked, "Zhou County Order, this general is not so easy to fool, let's talk about it, what did you find?" ”

The corners of Zhou Xing's mouth suddenly twitched.

Su Baotong was right, he did check.

Such a thing suddenly appeared on his desk inexplicably, and even the most stupid person knew that someone was going to use him and use himself to do something.

Zhou Xing didn't mind being used, but he had to know who was using him.

"This is the description of the stranger who appeared in Linxian County within a few days, and there may be some untruths......" Zhou Xing said, taking out a confession from his arms and handing it over, but before his words were finished, Su Baotong had already grabbed it.

After taking a look, Su Baotong immediately turned around and quickly walked to the door.

Zhou Xing's face changed again, and he instantly realized that Su Baotong who appeared in front of him was just a chess piece.

At this moment, a voice that was not very unfamiliar sounded: "Order, find out all the people who signed and signed on it, and this king will ask them one by one." ”

"Whoa!" Su Bao's voice sounded again, and the next moment, he had quickly turned around and ran out.

At this moment, in the room, Zhou Xing's face had become extremely ugly: "King Peng! ”

Zhou Xing couldn't have imagined that it was Peng Wang Li Xuan who appeared in Lin County.

Li Xuan, the king of Peng, who was once framed and impeached by him.

The footsteps sounded rhythmically, and immediately, Zhou Xing saw Li Xuan, who was dressed in red and gold armor, walking in from outside.

Li Xuan glanced at Zhou Xing coldly, then took out the holy decree from his body and read it to Zhou Xing indifferently: "Emperor Decree of the Tang Dynasty: Zhou Xing, the county order of Linxian County, wasted the emperor's heart, provoked the royal family, conspiracy and misdeeds, sinister intentions, and ordered to hang himself." ”

With a "poof", Zhou Xing had collapsed directly to the ground.

At this moment, a white silk was already wrapped around his neck.

……

Chang'an, Zichen Palace.

The snow was falling, and the imperial city was cold, but the inner sanctum was warm.

Li Zhi sat on the imperial couch, calmly handling the official documents.

A thick pile of processed official documents had been placed next to it.

At this time, slight footsteps sounded, and Zhao Gong, dressed in a black robe, appeared behind the pillars.

The emperor didn't look up, and asked directly, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Gong arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, Xiangzhou Assassin History, Linxian County ordered Zhou Xing to hang himself, left a suicide note before hanging, regretting that he should not be instigated by others, separating the royal family, regretting himself, it is difficult to prolong, he committed suicide to apologize, and left a copy of the inspection record and portrait for the court to investigate." ”

Zhao Gong held the record and portrait in his hand, handed it forward, Wang Fulai had already walked down from the top, took the text and portrait, and finally put it in front of Li Zhi's table.

Li Zhi didn't look at any inspection records, he knew that the thing was useless, only this portrait was a portrait drawn by Li Xuan himself, and it could definitely be further investigated.

"Now that there are clues, Qianniuwei is according to the map." Li Zhi glanced at the portrait, and then confirmed that it was not anyone he knew, and then looked at Zhao Gong and asked, "Chang'an Luoyang, how is the situation in all directions?" ”

Zhao Gong arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Chang'an City is a group of gangsters who are messing around in the south of the city, all the relevant people have been arrested, only this person who is secretly calculating has escaped one step in advance." ”

Li Zhi nodded slightly, and then said, "Go on." ”

"In Chang'an City, the minister is still sending people to investigate, as for Luoyang, in the past month, more than 300 people have entered Beijing through various means." Zhao Gong said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, over the years, Youyan retired soldiers have been the mainstay, gathered around the pottery workshop, although there are weapons in their hands, but they have no armor. ”

"Not right now." The corners of Li Zhi's mouth brought a sneer, and he said with a cold look in his eyes: "Those people in Chang'an are just a cover to attract people's attention, their real killing moves are in Luoyang, Chang'an has deep roots, they don't have much to do, but Luoyang, hum!" ”

Li Zhi snorted coldly, Chang'an has been in business for decades, how can it be easily won inside and out, only Luoyang.

At the beginning of each summer, he would take a group of people to Luoyang to eat, and at this time, someone would be given the opportunity to accumulate strength.

Li Xian was the same back then, and even now, there are still people who are emulating this method.

"Order, let King Peng return from Lin County immediately, now that the portrait is already there, let's move on to the next step." Li Zhi looked up at Zhao Gong and said solemnly: "Give you three days, in Luoyang City, no matter where those people are hiding, all of them will be found out by me, and then King Peng will lead the army to clear out, and all the people involved, no matter who they are, but if they resist, they will all be killed." ”

"Whoa!" Zhao Gong immediately gave up his hand, and then was about to turn around and leave, when at this time, the emperor's voice sounded again: "Wait." ”

Zhao Gong immediately surrendered his hand: "Your Majesty." ”

"The order was ordered, and Xiao Dezhao, the squire of the military department, was ordered to go to Luoyang immediately to inspect the safety matters of the sacrificial Songshan Mountain." The Emperor's voice was incomparably indifferent.

Zhao Gong arched his hand and said: "The minister's decree." ”

Turning around, Zhao Gong quickly turned around and left.

Li Zhi sat on the imperial couch, his eyes saw the goose feathers and heavy snow outside the window, and his expression became more and more cold.

"Feng Chan Song Mountain, Feng Chan Song Mountain, I didn't expect that someone would see such an opportunity." Li Zhi's face became more and more gloomy.

A conspiracy, who is behind the scenes
