When Gonggong Lan yawned and took the inner guard pavilion leader and the accompanying little eunuchs to the inner hall to rest, and the assassin Han Wentao also left the yamen with his men, Song Zhili was still like a dream, and he couldn't return to his senses for a long time.

On the bookcase in front of him were placed five things, in addition to the holy decree and the holy oracle, there was also his official guide, an official robe inlaid with gold and jade, and a peach carved with pure gold and exquisite.

Governor Qi Shi, equivalent to a high-ranking official, is the second-in-command of the state capital after the history of the assassin, and is the official position of the fifth grade, for his current county order, it can be said that he has been promoted to the third level!

The official robe is called the Yusheng Eagle robe, which is a symbol of honor, representing that the official is honest, upright, and not afraid of the powerful.

The golden peach is also called the golden wing, which represents the highest royal recognition of an official, and will be entrusted with it in the future.

In other words, as long as Song Zhili works hard, he will inevitably enter the court as an official in the future, assisting Sheji, which can be described as soaring and rising.

At this time, Chen Houlu was holding his gold belt, just like holding his beautiful wife and concubine, immersed in his own joy.

Maybe at this time, he was also secretly glad that Song Zhili didn't sign his retirement application, right?

Awesome!

At this moment, Xu Zhen naturally couldn't accurately predict that things would have such a major reversal.

Gonggong Lan is the chief eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, and Mei Dong is the cabinet leader of the Neiwei Mansion, both of whom are close ministers of the emperor.

Let such an important person come overnight to announce the decree, and must be observed in the history of the Song Zhou assassination, which can show that the emperor attaches great importance to this case, and it also shows that there are many articles in it!

Could it be ...... Cui Xiaotian's life-saving mechanism has taken effect?

The emperor already knew about Han Wentao and the others' efforts to burn down the granary?

To Xu Zhen's feeling, Lan Gonggong had the meaning of beating Han Wentao between the lines, especially when reading the emperor's edict, it seemed that he deliberately read it very hard.

The name of Father-in-law Lan is also very good, Lan Yanxi, this name ...... It sounds a bit like a palace fight!

Mei Dong's name is even more interesting, I really want to ask him, is there a younger brother who can kick Keju?

I want to be crooked!

Xu Zhen quickly retracted his thoughts and turned back to the topic again.

In fact, he is not completely unpredicted about the current situation.

The reason why he asked the monk Qi Yunzheng to leave two proverbs to Song Zhili was also because he had already deduced it before.

First, as early as the trial of Qiu Batian, the emperor had personally ordered to intervene, although Qiu Batian's case involved the officials and servants, but it was enough to show that the emperor was already paying attention to Yanping County.

Second, since the Wansheng gambling house was burned down, Xu Zhen found that there seemed to be some strange people near the yamen.

Due to the keen detective skills he had cultivated in his previous life, he realized that those strange people should be professional monitors, and they seemed to be monitoring the yamen's every move.

If it were Qiu Batian or Cui Xiaotian's people, they would obviously not be so professional.

So, from that time on, Xu Zhen began to speculate, could those people be internal guards?

If so, then it will naturally be of great benefit to them in dealing with Cui Xiaotian.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Zhen left two proverbs.

Unexpectedly, I really guessed that the emperor really made a move!

He just didn't expect it to be so timely and so powerful.

Before, he had even designed that once they could escape from the clutches of Han Wentao and others, could they take Cui Xiaotian to the Holy Capital to sue for the royal complaint?

Now, it seems, is no longer necessary.

This is really a twist and turn, in this way, Song Zhili is right, Han Wentao can only stare dryly, and he doesn't have to wander the world with a dream!

However, although the crisis has been lifted and everything seems to be developing in a good direction, the vigilant Xu Zhen still believes that he must not let his guard down......

……

At the same time, the inn where Han Wentao stayed was in the mysterious guest room.

Han Wentao fell to his knees, shivering, waiting for the mysterious superior to fall.

If the matter is messed up, he naturally knows what the consequences will be!

However, as he trembled and told the story of the Divine Decree, the hoarse voice hidden in the shadows suddenly laughed.

"Hehehe...... this person smiled, "That's very good, Han Tingshi is really hard!" ”

"Huh!?" As soon as this remark came out, Han Wentao was even more frightened, this sentence is hard, it is more like the meaning of letting himself rest forever.

"Your ......Excellency," Han Wentao said, "This matter is really pure accident, and I still think that there is someone behind the scenes targeting us." For my faithful sake, spare my life. ”

"Han Tingshi, you misunderstood," the hoarse voice suddenly became much kinder, "Think about it, if the Holy Lord really wants to kill us, will he let the Yamen kill Cui Xiaotian?" ”

"Huh?" In a word, Han Wentao's back bones were hairy, and he was covered with goosebumps.

"Let me ask you," a hoarse voice asked, "Is our Emperor Changle Gui Geng this year?" ”

Emperor Changle's name is Li Xin, and he is the eldest grandson of the previous emperor, Xuanxinzong Li Xing.

The emperor and grandson succeeded to the throne, and it was naturally impossible to be old.

"Nineteen, right?" Han Wentao replied that he didn't know why the other party mentioned the emperor's age.

"The new emperor has only been on the throne for four years," the hoarse voice analyzed, "Today, the two heroes in the court are opposed, and the power is getting bigger and bigger, and our little emperor obviously has his own ideas!"

"Due to the Qiu Zhennong incident, Qiu Kai was unable to enter the cabinet for a long time, which gave us an advantage. And now the Cui Xiaotian incident has taken us into the army again.

As a result, the two sides are tied.

"But," said a hoarse voice, "once Cui Xiaotian's secret is revealed to the world, then our side will suffer a lot of losses."

"Obviously, the little emperor doesn't want to see this situation, and he still needs us to check and balance the other side.

"So......" said in a hoarse voice, "first, this Cui Xiaotian incident is over, kill him; Second, the little emperor took the opportunity to beat us and let us do what we wanted.

"I think, either the little emperor is a genius, or he has a master around him."

"Yes...... But ......" Han Wentao was still shocked, "Cui Xiaotian's life-saving mechanism is definitely not a lie, once the cabinet masters those things, it will inevitably impeach us!" ”

"No, this is the most clever thing about the little emperor," said in a hoarse voice, "The cabinet has physical evidence but no one has it, so it can only fight a war of attrition with us."

"If the little emperor really wants to bring us down, then he only needs to let Cui Xiaotian live."

"So ......," Han Wentao said in surprise, "he hopes that our two factions will have internal friction, and this will also ...... Too scheming, right? ”

"The art of the emperor is beyond the reach of ordinary people," said in a hoarse voice, "Han Tingshi, don't worry, cooperate with the work of the county government and cut Cui Xiaotian down!" ”

"But ......," Han Wentao said worriedly, "What about Song Zhili's people?" If they go out and talk nonsense, won't we be passive......"

"There's no way," said in a hoarse voice, "The emperor gave him the golden peach, that is, it is clear that he wants to protect him, and it is not wise to touch the emperor's scales!"

"Actually...... We still have something to gain," the hoarse voice added, "At least we have figured out the emperor's attitude, the current passivity is not really passive, only in this way can we make our future plans more foolproof......
