When Liang Zhi arrived in Tongzhou, he first inquired about He Qunying's whereabouts, and learned that he really lived near the wharf, so he also booked a room next to him, and then contacted the Ning family's business in Tongzhou, and paid close attention to the arrival time of the two boats.

The wharf was calm and the merchant boatmen walked through non-stop, and after years of war, there was a bit of prosperity.

Liang Zhi took care of all this, and then went back to Beijing to pay tribute to Fu Zhen.

The news that Princess Rong was stabbed to death by bandits was widely spread, and various speculations were also derived. In addition, the emperor strictly guarded the gate of the Quartet, and sent Pei Zhan to personally enter the Rongwang Mansion, which added a touch of solemnity.

Of course, the officials who are most concerned about this matter are the officials of the DPRK and the central government, these days the people who come to the Pei Mansion to inquire about the news have come one after another, Mrs. Pei Yu Pei was too lazy to deal with it, but she couldn't keep turning people away, so the guests in the house still haven't stopped.

Fortunately, this is all the entertainment of the main courtyard, and it has nothing to do with Fu Zhen's side. Fu Zhen reported Jiang Lin's return to Pei Zhan, and at dusk, he arrived home, and he entered through the corner gate, just avoiding the guests who left the house from the front door.

After listening to Jiang Lin's reply, Pei Zhan also pinched his eyebrows at the brand from the Great Moon Wing Palace: "The Wing King Mansion was destroyed long before the Great Moon Monarch and the Great Zhou went to war, which means that the Great Moon Monarch did not start a war against the Great Zhou until he won that imperial power struggle." The people of the Yiwang Mansion are said to have been wiped out by him, and calculated, the Yiwang Mansion has disappeared for more than 20 years, and they are older than Xu Yin, what does it have to do with this? ”

Fu Zhen said slowly: "What I wonder most about now is what Xu Yin wants to do?" ”

When he killed her, he kept saying that he wanted to take the throne, and now he is a third-grade member at a young age, and Junma should have been a good one, but he had to drill the camp to win over, originally said that he wanted to develop his own power to compete with the Rong Wangfu and get rid of this shackle, but he even wanted to get the fan hidden by King Rong, and even Princess Rong dared to kill him, his purpose was not only the Rong Wangfu?

Pei Zhan looked sideways at her under the glass lamp, and said in a deep voice: "Today in King Rong's Mansion, there was another turmoil, and King Rong slashed Xu Yin. ”

Fu Zhen looked up.

Pei Zhan relayed the scene that the Praetorian Guards had seen with their own eyes.

After hearing this, Fu Zhen immediately said, "The prince actually passed Xu Yin into the palace so quickly?" ”

Pei Zhan nodded: "Since the emperor has been seriously ill in recent years, he has gradually handed over some government affairs to the prince, and the Zongren Mansion is King Rong, and the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the Zongren Mansion. ”

Fu Zhen snorted coldly when he heard this: "It seems that these two people have a heart."

"Xu Yin killed Princess Rong, and there is no possibility of reconciliation with King Rong's mansion. In the past, Yang Yu was still on his side, but now that his biological mother died at the hands of Xu Yin, this feud has to be concluded no matter what.

If he wants to protect himself, he can only seek foreign aid, and now the prince is really the best choice.

"Xu Yin wants to take refuge in the crown prince, I'm afraid it's not a day or two, if it weren't for Yongping's killing of Liu Gongzi, he would be the Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu now.

"And the reason why Yongping was embarrassed with Concubine Yu was because during the crown ceremony, Xu Yin had interfered in some matters in the East Palace.

"So he was slashed today, it must have been premeditated. And if the crown prince is eyeing King Rong, then Xu Yin, who has been the county horse of King Rong's Mansion for six years, is also a very handy knife for him, right? ”

Pei Zhan sat down next to her: "No matter what, Xu Yin is not a good person, even if the Hutong bloody case was not his own hand, he has already done a lot of other things through this case."

"The prince is the prince, once he is used by Xu Yin, it will not be a trivial matter.

"I have to report this matter to the emperor, and I have to let him know that Xu Yin is not such a simple person, but there is no evidence, so there is no way to be shocked. If you don't frighten and keep it secret, it becomes an empty mouth. ”

Fu Zhen followed him and became worried.

When it comes to the way of monarchs and ministers, you can't be cautious, there is not only one minister in the Pei family in the entire court, and other officials are officials, it is not the Pei family that has the final say. Even if it is a secret report, you have to talk about evidence, otherwise you will become a slanderer, Xu Yin has several lives in hand, first Liang Ning and then Princess Rong, but who can prove it?

"Young lady! General Liang Xiao has sent a message from the dock! The two merchant ships rented by He Qunying will dock around midnight tonight. ”

The housekeeper came in through the window.

Fu Zhen stood up with a perennial expression, and looked at Pei Zhan with deep eyes: "If you want evidence, why do you have to be evidence of his murder?" He escorted things from Tanzhou into Beijing in such a roundabout way, it was bound to be something that could see the light. But if there is an account that does not match his net worth, it is not considered a slander! ”

In the final analysis, reminding the emperor to guard against Xu Yin is an important purpose, as for which angle to beware of, is it so important?

"Or you have a point." Pei Zhan got up with a smile, "Then let's go!" ”

……

Xu Yin came out of the East Palace, went to the yamen, and after returning home, he sent a message:

"He Qunying asked people to spread the word that the two boats would dock tonight, the carriage was ready, and the master could leave immediately."

Xu Yin glanced in the direction of the Rong Palace, and said, "Isn't there any other movement over there in the palace?" ”

"No, since the lord came out, the prince has returned to his own courtyard and has never shown up again today."

Xu Yin stood for a moment before raising his sleeves and saying, "Let's go." ”

Lian Shu followed him into the carriage and glanced at him: "Didn't the old man enter the palace this time not go well?" ”

"Smooth."

"Then why are you so preoccupied?"

Xu Yin stretched his body, and his tightly wrinkled brows did not mean to loosen in the slightest. "Although this trip to the palace went smoothly, but in retrospect, I have been pushed forward with every step of the recent movement, and almost none of them have followed my plan, and I always have a sense of foreboding, maybe some things will lose my control."

Lian Xuan took his gaze off his face, turned forward, and curled his hands inward with his hands on his lap. "Even so, the master coped with it perfectly, and he never lost control. Don't be overly careful. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the tea that had been prepared next to him a long time ago, and he handed it over with both hands: "This tea is just warm to the throat, hot and dry in the summer, and moistens the throat." ”

Xu Yin didn't speak, took the small teapot, glanced at him, and drank it.

The mournful Rongwang Mansion and the quiet Xu Mansion were gradually left behind.

In the second half of the moon, the moonlight was only a thin brow, except for the crow that suddenly fluttered its wings and flew overhead, and it was already as dark as a tomb on all sides.
