As night falls, the Milky Way hangs high.

The lights in Zhangtai Palace were bright, and Yingzheng sat on the high platform alone, and what he held in his hand was the record sent from Xianyang Prison.

Standing below was Yan Le, the cold sweat on his face was flowing at the moment, but he didn't dare to wipe it.

According to Zhao Gao's order, Yan Le presented the evidence that had been prepared to exonerate Hu Hai.

I thought that His Majesty would be happy, but I didn't expect that His Majesty would not say a word so far.

The feeling of oppression made him breathe quietly.

"Your Majesty, this investigation found that the second son was slandered."

"The salt merchant pretended to use the hands of the second son to install spies in Xianyang City and deliberately framed the second son."

"As for those assassins, it's just a helpless move for the second son to fall into a trap for a while."

Yan Le carefully considered his language, after all, the results of this investigation were a little different from the last time, for fear that he would accidentally touch His Majesty's scales.

After speaking, he stood there motionless, waiting for Yingzheng's orders.

At this moment, the eunuch at the door walked in.

"Your Majesty, Captain Feng Xiao is out asking to see you."

It's been this hour, Feng Xiao suddenly entered the palace, there must be something important.

"Xuan."

In just a moment, Feng Xiao walked in in with his head held high, dressed in official uniforms.

glanced at Yan Le, who was standing there, with a slight mockery in his eyes, and then withdrew his gaze with a single glance.

Respectfully saluted Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty." ”

"No courtesy."

After speaking, Feng Xiao continued: "Your Majesty, the minister entered the palace late at night, and he had something important to tell him. ”

"A few days ago, the minister found that Xianyang Ling had sent people to the Guanzhong area many times, so he ordered someone to inquire, but found some interesting things."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Le's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and an ominous premonition came to his heart.

When Ying Zheng heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Yan Le and said slowly: "What's the matter?" ”

Feng Xiao bowed his hand, and then said: "The minister found that Xianyang Ling had a very close relationship with the salt merchants in Guanzhong, and even exchanged letters. ”

"The minister followed this clue to investigate and found that the connection between Xianyang Ling and the salt merchant began after the refined salt."

"The minister sent someone to secretly interrogate the salt merchant and learned that the leak of the secret recipe for refined salt was done by Xianyang Ling Yan Le!"

"This is evidence, please look at it Your Majesty!"

Investigating Yan Le is still Ran Fang's wake-up.

At that time, knowing that Yan Le had sent someone out of Xianyang, Feng Xiao really didn't think about it so much, after all, this matter was related to Hu Hai's reputation, and presumably Yan Le would not dare to cheat.

But Ran Fang didn't agree, so he listened to Ran Fang's words and went to investigate, and really let him find Yan Le's tail.

may have won the trust of His Majesty, but this time Yan Le did not clean up the traces in time, so he was given a chance.

Tonight, he heard that Yan Le had entered the palace late at night, so he also hurried in, for fear that His Majesty would fall for Yan Le's tricks.

After speaking, Feng Xiao took out a stack of case files and raised his hands above his head.

The eunuch who was standing beside Ying Zheng immediately bowed down and ran down the steps, took the case file and trotted to send it to Ying Zheng.

Feng Xiao was confident, but it made Yan Le feel a little panicked.

He didn't personally send people to contact the salt merchants, let alone exchange letters, these are things that will leave evidence, how could he be so cautious to do such a thing?

But seeing that Feng Xiao said it with convincing words, he didn't dare not believe it.

wanted to kneel down and plead, but he didn't know what Feng Xiao had investigated.

In this solemn atmosphere, the two people in the hall saw that Yingzheng's face became more and more ugly.

Suddenly, Ying Zheng slapped the table, and Yan Le's knees weakened, and he knelt directly on the ground.

Feng Xiao also followed closely behind, kneeling on the ground without saying a word.

Yan Le didn't dare to say anything trembling, so he could only keep his head down and wait for Yingzheng to fall.

Just when he was thinking about how long Feng Xiao had investigated, he heard Ying Zheng's cold voice sound.

"Yan Le! But what is there to say? ”

Hearing this, Yan Le finally reacted, and he knelt on the ground, trembling his legs and begging for mercy.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged."

"The minister has never colluded with the salt merchants, all this is a misunderstanding!"

"Your Majesty—Your Majesty—"

Seeing that Yan Le was still defending himself at this time, Ying Zheng was inexplicably a little irritable.

"Someone! Pledge me! ”

As soon as the words fell, soldiers immediately entered the hall and pulled Yan Le down.

Seeing this, Ying Zhengcai turned his gaze to Feng Xiao, and his tone was completely different from just now.

"How did you find out about this?"

Feng Xiao didn't dare to hide it, and told all the conversations between himself and Ran Fang, as well as Ran Fang's saying that Yan Le would destroy the evidence.

"Your Majesty, this matter is exactly the same as Ran Fang expected, then Yan Le is the real mastermind behind the scenes."

"Now that the matter has come to light, Your Majesty can release the second son from Xianyang Prison."

Speaking of Hu Hai, Ying Zheng's dark face became even more ugly.

Thinking that Ran Fang said that Hu Hai was a fool, he was still a little unconvinced, and now that he was being played around, he really felt that Hu Hai should have a long memory in Xianyang Prison.

"The assassination of the prisoner was done by Hu Hai alone, so he should reflect on it while in prison."

"Learn more from Ran Fang!"

"This one or two, don't let the widow worry, just let that Ran Fang teach them well, and the widow can rest assured."

These words blocked back what Feng Xiao was about to say, he actually wanted to take advantage of His Majesty's good mood just now, since he could release Hu Hai, it should not be a problem to release Ran Fang.

As a result, now that His Majesty has asked Ran Fang to teach Hu Hai, it is impossible for Ran Fang to get out of prison.

He had no choice but to bow down and answer, "Oh." ”

"Your Majesty, since Yan Le has been imprisoned, and now that the position of Xianyang Ling is vacant, Your Majesty should elect a person as soon as possible to preside over the affairs of Xianyang County."

This is a serious matter, Xianyang is different from other places.

If the affairs of the city fall for a day, it will also be a big event for Xianyang City.

He glanced up at Feng Xiao, his eyes were vague, and he thought for a moment before he said very seriously: "According to Qing's opinion, this Xianyang Order's position is very important, and we must find someone who can ask for the people's life." ”

"That Ran Fang lives in Xianyang Prison, but he is very familiar with what happened in the court, if he can serve as the Xianyang Order, it will definitely be a blessing for the court and the people of the world."

After speaking, Feng Xiao knelt on the ground, waiting for Ying Zheng's answer.

He praised his wit in his heart, these words were fair and just, completely unselfish, and I believe that His Majesty will agree.

Just when he was rejoicing, he heard Ying Zheng say in a deep tone: "This matter will be discussed later." ”

Ying Zheng didn't expect that this Feng Xiao was so bold that he directly wanted to get an official position for Ran Fang.

However, he knew Ran Fang's temperament, if he entered the court as an official, he might be a good official for the benefit of the people, but he would not reveal half a point of those peerless talents.

He can still tell which is more important.

"The position of the Xianyang Order, the widow has his own arrangements."
