Zhuying also knew in his heart that it was Xiao Jing'er who jumped up and was arrested together.

I really can't complain about others.

However, in an hour, Prince Shuo's killing of the daughters of the four marquis was in an uproar in Liyang City.

The boss of Chunyun Building also reported to the official according to Ye Shuhua's order, and the four Hou Ye saw the corpse of their daughter, and they all cried bitterly.

And the yamen who took over the murder case couldn't handle this big case at all, so he was frightened and pushed it to Dali Temple.

Dali Temple took over the hand, and it was like a hot potato, and I don't know what to do.

For a while, this matter caused a lot of uproar in the court, and the palace was also discussing this matter.

The emperor has heard about it.

"Go, Prince Chuanshuo enter the palace!"

He was going to ask for himself what was going on.

But as soon as the eunuch went out, he turned back and said: "Your Majesty, Prince Shuo just ordered someone to send a message, saying that he was sick and couldn't enter the palace for a few days. ”

"Sick? How could you be so sick! ”

The eunuch bowed his head and did not speak.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more wrong it became, if he didn't enter the palace, then he would go to see him.

But as soon as he got up, he heard the eunuch say: "Prince Shuo also said that let the emperor calm down, and he will come to the emperor when he is well." ”

When the emperor heard this, his footsteps stopped.

It was for him not to go to him.

But now there are rumors about him outside, and the table is full of excerpts to impeach him, as well as excerpts to keep the hereditary titles of the four marquis.

How can he calm down?

After thinking for a long time, he finally sighed, and sat back on the dragon chair in a huff.

looked at these upset folds in front of him, and threw them all away.

The eunuch sighed several times, then picked them up one by one, and said with relief: "The emperor is angry, and the regeneration of anger is also to be played." In the end, this matter has to be dealt with by a decision. ”

The emperor wrinkled his eyebrows, "Deal with it, how to deal with it!" I want to reform the old and bring forth the new, this group of old stubborn people just stop it, and they make this kind of indiscriminate means force me to compromise! If the old system is not removed, how can the country return to prosperity! I'm afraid that it won't be long before the Li Dynasty is full of signs of corruption, how is it different from the corrupt Li royal family overthrown by my father at that time! ”

"If the country of Li is prosperous, it is necessary to reform the old and bring forth the new, and get rid of corruption, marriage and collusion!"

The more the emperor spoke, the more angry he became, and he roared directly.

This is the policy of reforming the old and bringing forth the new that he has discussed with Li Zheng for a long time, and only by unswervingly implementing this policy can Li Guo go far.

However, these old stubborns are like old moths, swearing not to move their nests, and they have to bite the Li country to pieces!

But now, he is still being put on top by the other party, so he has to make a decision and follow their wishes!

The eunuch smiled faintly, "Reform the old and bring out the new is not overnight, if you can't push it down now, then take a break and obey them first, this may not be a concession, maybe it is better and faster to move to the next step?" ”

The eunuch's words were like an initiation, and the emperor glanced at him in surprise.

"How do you see things so high?"

It's not that the emperor didn't expect it, he was just angry and annoyed with those old things, and he would do whatever it took to achieve his goals.

The eunuch smiled and bowed his head silently.

This is his opinion, and it is what Prince Shuo's people said when he made him angry with the emperor.

Prince Shuo really knows the emperor and knows that the emperor will be furious.

This sentence is pouring water on the fire, which can make the emperor calm down quickly.

Two days later, the emperor decreed that the Marquis of Xie, the Marquis of Liao, the Marquis of Wu, and the Marquis of Qu, remembering that their ancestors had made many contributions to the most Li country, and that the policy of refuting the revolution and recklessness could be avoided.

The title is hereditary, but the title is halved.

Originally, the four marquis mansions did white things for their daughters, but the four marquis were all smiling and red-faced.

Except for the mother of the dead daughter, everyone in the house could not hide their happiness.

In the evening, the four marquis gathered at the Xie Hou Mansion.

"Great, our Marquis position has been kept! Xie Hou, I don't know who is the person behind this who is helping us? ”

Xie Hou also shook his head: "I don't know, the letter only said that we should do it, and I haven't seen the handwriting, so I really don't know who it is." ”

I don't know who it is, but he is still faintly uneasy in his heart.

Why did he do this?

Xie Hou has always believed that there is no pie in the sky, he helped them, and he must have asked them to do something for him.

He was not the only one who was uneasy, and the other three Hou Ye also felt panicked after the joy passed.

"But he doesn't say what we need to pay for me, I owe it so much, and I always feel worried."

Xie Hou took a sip of tea and said, "Let's wait." But no matter what the other party wants us to do, our title will not be affected, and it is all within our ability. ”

Inside the darkroom.

There were no days and days that passed, and in addition to a fixed time point all day, someone brought a meal.

The rest of the time, in the dark, quiet and seemingly isolated in the darkroom.

No matter how much they shouted, no one answered.

At first, it was fine, but after a long time, I began to get scared.

After all, they're only four or five year olds.

No matter how strong and mature Li Jiangyan's heart is, he can't help but start to worry and be scared at this time.

Yin Jiangjing was even more so, hugging the Lijiang banquet tightly, and the tears in his eyes kept falling out.

"Are we going to die here?"

"No, they give us food and drink, and we can't die."

"But we can't get out, and I'm afraid I'll be locked up here all the time."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Li Jiangyan hugged Yin Jiangjing tightly again, and comforted her with his small arms.

Yin Jiangjing felt the temperature, and his hanging heart was also slightly relaxed.

Yes, as long as she is with the Lijiang Banquet, she has nothing to fear.

At this time, the person who delivered the meal came.

The oil lamp in the darkroom had been out for a long time, and he knew that the darkness would be frightening, so he took the opportunity to grab the arm of the food delivery man.

The little hand was cold, "Can you give us an oil lamp?" My sister is timid and afraid of the dark, please! ”

The man didn't pay attention to it at all, just withdrew his hand and closed the small opening of the food delivery, and strode away.

Li Jiangyan lowered his eyebrows in frustration, he had expected that the other party would not give it.

It's not so sad.

He would have begged a few more times.

He took the rice in the dark and gave it to Yin Jiangjing.

Today is steamed bread and porridge, saying that porridge is actually soup, but it can be regarded as quenching thirst.

The two of them had been hungry all day, and they had such a meal a day, and they naturally devoured it.

Just as they had finished eating, they heard movement again.

The small opening for the delivery of food was opened, and an oil lamp was brought in.

All of a sudden, the room was bright.

Li Jiangyan hurriedly crawled over and said to Xiaokou: "Thank you, thank you!" ”

The small mouth was small, and he could only show half of his face, so he couldn't see who the people outside were.

But by the light of the oil lamp, I could see the clothes and boots of the people outside, and the clothes were pure black, and the cloth was also ordinary cloth.

But the boots are the best deer antler leather boots, although they are a little older, and the vintage looks a little older, but they are definitely the best deer antler leather.

This kind of deer antler skin can be worn by no one except for the royal relatives.

Bang!

The door was slammed shut.

And then there was the sound of the footsteps leaving.

Hearing more footsteps, he gradually could tell whether he was the one who often brought him food.

This person and the person who just brought him food are definitely not the same person.

Thinking so, he symbolically pushed the small door.

Unexpectedly, the small door was unlocked, and it was opened!

But he only moved a little, and did not dare to move again, and only listened to the fact that no one came any closer, and then he dared to open the small door.

With the light, Yin Jiangjing can see the situation in the house, and he can also see the Lijiang banquet.

She hurriedly followed, snuggled up to the Lijiang Banquet, and saw that the small door could be opened, and the Lijiang Banquet seemed to be reaching for something.

With red eyes, he said timidly: "Brother Yan, what are you doing?" ”

Li Jiangyan tried his best to reach it, but the small mouth was too low, and his arms were too short to reach it.

He withdrew his hand, gasped roughly, and said, "I'm wondering if I can open this door through this small opening." ”

The door of the darkroom is not high, a little shorter than a person's height, and the handle is also low, if an adult's arm sticks out from the small opening, it may be able to reach it.

But he was too small and his arms too short.

"But the outside is locked, so we can't open it without a key."

"At least I know if it's locked or just horizontal."

With the light, Yin Jiangjing was not so afraid.
