The Imperial Study.

Gonggong Cao led Xu Jian in.

The saint just changed into his regular clothes, and said straight to the point: "Morning up, I see that you have something to say."

"Yes," Xu Jian replied, "King Jin's escape is a matter of his future whereabouts, and the minister thinks that he should be more cautious, and there may be his comrades in the court."

Seeing the head of the saint's chin, Xu Jian said again, "Do you remember the golden paper found in Chen Mi Hutong?"

"I remember."

At that time, in order to resolve Shao'er's predicament, Xu Jian proposed to hide two gold bricks in that house.

The yamen went to search Dao Heng, and Dao Heng was linked to Wang Liunian and Li Mi, and used this line to lead the eyes of the court to Li Mi, which was a very good way to deal with it at that time.

To the surprise of the saint, in addition to the gold bricks hidden by Xu Jian, there was also a gold note of the Guyue envoys.

All of a sudden, the situation became more and more confusing.

In the end, the matter of Chen Mi Hutong ended, and the Liu family father and son were distributed, and the meritorious name was removed.

But the saint still remembers the "golden paper" to some extent.

It's an unsolved mystery.

In fact, the golden paper was secretly hidden by Xu Jian.

He sensed the emotions of King Jin with the golden note, and also used the golden paper to destroy the self-incrimination book that made Liu Jing consider every word and lost its effect.

To this day, it is impossible for Xu Jian to tell the saint the inside story of the golden note, just as he will not push Su Chang to the surface.

So, he mentioned the gold paper.

"Now it can be concluded that Dao Heng is a subordinate of King Jin," Xu Jian said, "The house in Chenmi Hutong is also the handiwork of King Jin.

Liu Xun wanted to curry favor with his highness with flowers and wine, but the king of Jin took advantage of Liu Xun's thoughts and gave him the opportunity to bring His Highness badly.

And there were also people from the Guyue envoy group who went in and out of it.

How could ordinary merchants go to the place arranged by King Jin for His Royal Highness?

There is some other connection between these two parties."

Sheng Shang touched his chin and understood what Xu Jian meant: "You want to say that he colluded with Gu Yue? But we have formed an alliance with Gu Yue and started commercial exchanges, and we have not suffered losses."

Xu Jian came prepared and pushed everything to Liu Jing: "At that time, it was Honglu Temple who was in charge of the reception, and it was Liu Jing who was in charge.

The minister once heard Liu Jing scold Su Yi, to the effect that Su Yi was not a famous figure in Guyue, and he quickly rose to power by relying on the first envoy to Dashun during the first emperor's year.

At that time, Liu Jing had already met Su Yi, this person was young and had little say in the envoys, so he liked to be in the limelight.

The imperial court was busy with internal affairs, and wanted to rely on Gu Yue to contain Xiliang, and the conditions for them were very favorable, but the Soviet Union was not satisfied, and they opened their mouths several times during the negotiations, but they seemed to have mastered our bottom limit, and it was painful to cut people, and it was not unacceptable.

It is precisely because of this that Su Yi suddenly rose to prominence after returning to Guyue and became a big man in the court.

Until the last time he came over, Su Yi wanted to cut again, Liu Jing didn't let go, he was angry again, and scolded Su Yi a lot.

What the minister thinks is that although we don't suffer losses, we don't take advantage of the profits that we could have shared.

Su Yi knows our limits well, and if it is the King of Jin who has a private relationship with him, then it makes sense.

The king of Jin helped Su to discuss, and Su Yi drew a part of the silver money to thank the king of Jin.

The money is used to raise the soldiers and prepare food, and it is of great use.

If the two have been friends for so many years, King Jin will find that something is wrong, and it is very likely that he will contact Su Yi and ask for support."

The saint's eyes darkened.

He accepted the suggestion that Li Du and Su Yi were in collusion, but he was skeptical of the support that Su Yi could give.

"Gu Yue is not what he says," the saint said, "It will not do them any good to get involved in our internal affairs."

"You have to guard against them, and you have to guard against Xiliang, no one knows what King Jin promised Su Yi," Xu Jian said, "The minister thinks that there is not much time left for King Jin.

If he is still a prince, he can slowly figure it out, and he has the identity and money to win people's hearts.

But he died

, Lost the opportunity to stir up trouble in the center of the capital, it is not easy for him to make a comeback, and the people who originally followed him will also consider the gains and losses, maybe gradually......

The longer it drags on, the fewer subordinates King Jin can use and trust, so his best choice is to fight quickly, and if there is a fire at the border, he is raising troops, and you will be overwhelmed by the tug-of-war between several sides."

Speaking of this, Xu Jian paused, and simply took another dose of fierce medicine: "King Jin can have a personal relationship with the Guyue people, how can you assert that he didn't bury chess pieces in Xiliang?" He has been thinking hard for more than ten years for this dragon chair, and there are so many things he can do in such a long time."

The Holy Lord nodded in agreement, "Yes, I must guard against him. I will immediately order Yumen to strengthen his vigilance, not only Yumen, but also the rest of the passes."

After long-term deliberation, the talk is about immediate worries.

All morning, there was a lot of news in the imperial study.

Different yamen performed their duties according to what the early dynasty said.

Thoroughly inspect the Jin Palace, the two houses connected, focusing on looking for account books, letters and other documents, the most proficient in the thousand-step corridor are also ready, to carefully sort out the accounts, whether the real accounts or false accounts, check to know.

The Shuncheon Mansion sent out a part of the manpower and guarded the yamen, searching every house in the city.

Concubine Dong's maiden family has become increasingly quiet after her death, and now it is not as good as before, but the source of the poison prescription and the old things that their family assisted Concubine Dong and Li Du in their struggle for the throne at that time must also be investigated.

Xu Jian was ordered to go to the prison and interrogate Song Yan.

The guard who came to ask him earlier muttered to Xu Jian in a low voice: "Grandpa Guo, this person has a hard mouth and pushes it clean."

Xu Jian bowed his head and looked at the person who was tied to the torture rack.

His hair was disheveled, he was extremely embarrassed, and his face was still a little bloody, I don't know if it was his own or the previous "melee".

"The year before last, Zhu Zhan's family beheaded themselves, did you go to see it?"

Song was stunned for a moment.

I thought that the Fuguo Guild would ask about the prince's escape, but he had already thought of a bunch of rumbling words to deal with it.

In short, I can't recognize it.

The saint was angry and wanted to kill him, and he admitted it, but even if he died, it was impossible to betray the prince.

But he didn't expect that the assistant prince asked Zhu Zhan and the former British princess.

Song Yanshi couldn't guess Xu Jian's intentions, but he wanted to show grievances instead of being uncooperative, so he naturally said honestly, "I've seen it."

"Zhu Zhan is an accomplice of the King of Jin, and the two have colluded together since the first imperial dynasty," Xu Jian said without hesitation, "This is very surprising to me, after all, the King of Jin did not think of a way for Zhu Zhan, and Zhu Zhan knew that he was abandoned and his descendants were dead, so he did not confess the ...... of King Jin."

Song Yanshi gritted his teeth.

What's so surprising about this?

Since you have recognized your master, your life is your master's, how can there be any reason to betray your master?

Faithfulness comes first.

Fu Guogong is obviously also a military general, how can he not understand?

Could it be that if he goes out to kill the enemy, and one day he is captured, will he also betray Dashun?

Just thinking about it, I heard Xu Jian say a few more words: "Forget about those few servants, they are all lonely and have no children and grandchildren, what is the matter with you and Zhu Zhan?

When Zhu Chong died, King Jin had not yet been exposed, and he could say that he was posthumously sealed after his death.

When I came to you, the king of Jin was already a ruined dog, and he was hiding in Tibet when he escaped, do you still believe that he can kill him back?"

Song Yishi subconsciously wanted to refute, but he reacted when the words came to his lips, he couldn't fall for the Duke of Fuguo!

How could he argue with the Duke of Fuguo whether King Jin could be killed back?

"You misunderstood Xiaguan," Song Yan said busily, "Xiaguan definitely did not collude with King Jin, he was not released from prison by Xiaguan, and besides, besides, King Jin is dead in the chaos!"

"Dead?" Xu Jian sneered and asked rhetorically, "It's just a stand-in, the sword you stabbed him in the face has a good angle and strength."

Song Yanshi's eyes widened!

Golden Cicada

The plan to get out of the shell was actually seen through by the Auxiliary Guogong?

Sure enough, Grandpa Guo squatted beside the dead ghost for so long at that time, and he really saw that he was famous.

What a thing to do now!

The prince's plan to get out of the country went wrong.

Fortunately, the person has left, which is a blessing in misfortune.

But how did Fu Guogong see it?

Before the saint came, Song Yanshi himself carefully looked at the face, obviously thinking that it was fake!

Come to think of it, good fellow!

Grandpa Guo was deceiving him before! Once he did not question the statement of "escape", it was confirmed that he knew the inside story.

Song Yan said, "Don't scare the lower officials, can there be a real Jin king and a fake Jin king? He's just dead!"

"Alright," Xu Jian interrupted him, "Why are you the only one tied up on the shelf while the other two are still in prison?" Because they didn't know it, they were dragged into the water by you, and you were involved in the substitution, the killing.

I just told you, you are different from the chamberlains who followed the king of Jin, they cut off their children and grandchildren, but you have sons.

Your mouth is hard, and I will have your son arrested, and these instruments of torture will be used on him, and you will see if you want to say it."

Song Yan was shocked, and his face turned completely white: "You should interrogate the lower officials, but you torture the dog, it's not right!"

"The yamen rules in handling cases," Xu Jian said, "I don't need to, I only give an explanation to the saint." The matter is serious, the king of Jin has the intention of rebellion and acts of disobedience, as a fellow party of the king of Jin, do you really think that if you die, the whole family will be peaceful?"

"There is no excuse for the sin you want to add!" Song Yan stalked his neck, "Anyway, the whole family is dead, what's the use of you threatening the lower officials with dogs?"

"You work in a cell, and you don't know the difference?" Xu Jian asked rhetorically, "Is it to cut off his head quickly, or do you watch him try the torture tools here?"

When Song Yan heard this, he couldn't help but tremble.

He was really scared at this time.

He himself is not afraid of torture, but his son, how can he give it?

The Auxiliary Princes will not just talk.

This person has been on the battlefield and killed so many Xiliang soldiers, and seeing blood is commonplace in his home.

Song Yishi has also heard of some "deeds" of Fuguo Gong, which can make his biological father be dismissed from his reputation and return to his hometown, and his younger brother of the same father and mother can be exiled for thousands of miles, can this be a good stubble?

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan......" Song Yanshi trembled, and couldn't help but cry.

Seeing that the defense line in his heart had been destroyed, Xu Jian continued to ask, "When, where, how and how to collude with King Jin, what he has done for him over the years, how he escaped last night, and where he went, explain them one by one."

Song Yishi cried while answering upside down.

He was familiar with the King of Jin in his later years and supported the King of Jin, but unfortunately the throne eventually fell sideways.

King Jin has not arranged for him to do anything in these years, and he only conveys some news from the palace to the prince.

A few years ago, when he was still a little guard, the monthly salary was just enough to support the family, and he thought that his father and son fell ill at the same time, and his life suddenly couldn't support it.

It was the King of Jin who gave him silver, so that he could hire a good doctor, and also gave him a lot of good medicinal materials that could be used, so that the family could tide over the difficulties.

Under this kindness, he was naturally very loyal to King Jin.

And such a Jin king was put in prison.

He couldn't go on a business trip, and King Jin didn't tell him all his plans, he only knew the part of the thing he had to do.

"I'll send him to the guy who picked him up, and then come back here, and I'll do it when the time is almost up." Song said.

Xu Jian asked, "What is the approximate time?"

"At the set time, after the lower official comes back, he will sit down for a quarter and a half and ......," Song Yan said, "That's what the prince explained."

"Who is the one who takes him?" Xu Jian asked again.

"They are all wearing night clothes, there are no lanterns, the lower officials have never seen their appearance clearly, they only know that they are all internal servants," Song Yanshi hung his face, "Sent to the back of the Chaoyang Palace, where they are going, the lower officials really don't know,

I have said everything I know."

After that, the other guards were responsible for getting him to sign and draw the charge, waiting for the disposal.

Xu Jian got out of the prison, first went back to report to the saint, and then asked Gonggong Cao to borrow a few people with good water quality and go into the pool to check.

A little further north of the Chaoyang Palace, there is a living pool.

The water was not particularly deep, and the chamberlains carefully entered the water to observe the bottom conditions, and eventually found some traces in the waterway that led to the moat.

Xu Jian calculated the time.

Li Du left the prison and went straight here, and when he left the palace and was in the moat, it was almost the time when Xu Jian rode his horse to the Nangong Gate.

It's a step too late.

Xu Jian went out of the palace and determined the location where Li Du went ashore, and then he had to search for a vast sea of people.

For several days in a row, there was a lot of wind in Beijing.

Officials and messengers patrolled the streets intensively, and the city gates were also strict.

The wanted documents were sent out of Beijing one by one and sent to various state capitals.

The officials who had some dealings with Li Du were also busy showing their loyalty to the saints, and explained everything they had heard and seen, so as not to be involved.

It's just that Li Du himself has no news.

Night falls.

On West Street, two strings of red lanterns hang at the door of the spice shop, which are lit up.

Sanchen walked around and brought back a note to Xu Jian.

"He didn't see the little one's face." Samchen Road.

Xu Jian was relieved of Shenchen's skills.

Open the note, and there are only two lines of words on it.

One line is one

Another lonely word: Tong.

Xu Jian asked Shenchen to also read the note: "Call Xuansu, go to guard the yamen first."

Samchen asked, "Do you want to inform Lord Wan?"

"He searched for him," Xu Jian said, "We arrested ours."

Not long after, he saw Wantang.

Master Wan was puzzled: "Little word alley? I inquired about it yesterday."

"Then check again." Xu Jiandao.
