The news of Xu Huanzhi's imprisonment in Shenmu Mountain did not spread for thousands of miles, according to Hongming Academy, the head of the Xu family was drinking tea and discussing with the dean at this time.

Just as Su Wen said to the poor Zhu in Bishui Pass before, the war is about to start, so the Zhennan army can't be chaotic, so he won't settle accounts with the poor Zhu afterwards.

Based on the same, or more profound reasons, Xu Huanzhi can't die, otherwise the entire country will be in chaos.

Fortunately, only Lu Yu, Bai Jianqiu, Lu Sanjiao and Wang Hao knew about Xu Huanzhi's entry into the mountain, and the scene where he was finally captured on the top of Shenmu Mountain was only seen by these few people, and in the end it was nothing more than the addition of Su Wen, Su Yu and Ning Qingbing, oh, by the way, and the old man who guarded the pavilion.

Except for Wang Hao, the rest are patriots, and they are also people from Hongming Academy, so they will never tell the truth.

As for Wang Hao, he didn't know what kind of consensus Lu Yu had reached with him, and what concessions he had made, so that after he left Shenmu Mountain, he deliberately kept silent, as if nothing had happened.

But the problem is that there are many things that the academy can't do even if it wants to hide it.

For example, the grass house at the foot of Shenmu Mountain, such as the inexplicable disappearance of the entire Shenmu Mountain, and the golden light and purple gold aura that illuminated a radius of hundreds of miles on the outskirts of Huizhou Mansion.

At this time, in the Wing City, the capital of the Patriotic Kingdom thousands of miles away, there were many people who had already noticed the abnormal movement of Shenmu Mountain.

But the first to react was not the horse master who held the power of the guards, but a middle-aged man in the deep palace.

The man was dressed in a white silk forged robe. The figure is straight, and the waist is as straight as a gun. The face is resolute, only the white hair on the head is faintly visible. and the faint tiredness between his eyebrows, which made him feel a little more vicissitudes.

"What the hell does the dean want to do?" the man's voice was flat, but it revealed a sense of superiority, not angry and arrogant.

Beside him, there stood an old man with crane hair and a shawl, the wrinkles on his face were like ravines, deep and vicissitudes, but the old man's eyes were extremely bright. It seems to be able to analyze people's hearts.

This old man is the Prime Minister of the Patriotic Nation, Hua Yifu.

Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Hua Yifu bowed slightly and said with a light smile: "How can we ordinary people guess the thoughts of the dean?"

In the entire Patriotic Empire, the people who can make Hua Yifu so respectful can be counted on one hand, and if this range is narrowed down to the Yicheng Imperial Palace, only one person can afford his humility.

Emperor Wei.

Among the ten nations of the human race in the Sacred Word Continent. No emperor would wear a dragon robe, because the dragon is a type of monster, not a symbol of a human being.

Therefore, the white robe worn by Emperor Wei was not embroidered with a dragon, but a bird.

The Hung Bird of Hung Ming Academy.

When Emperor Wei was still the crown prince, he worshiped Hongming Academy. Becoming a tea saint protégé is a well-known story throughout the continent, but it's a pity. Emperor Wei, who specializes in secular affairs, still delayed his cultivation in the world after all, and now he is. The text is just a royal book.

However, neither ordinary people nor practitioners of the Tao will despise him because of his position. Because he is the emperor of the country, he has 100,000 heroes in his hands, and his majesty is not only assisted by scholars such as Wang Yangming, but also has a half-saint to serve him, not to mention, the entire Hongming Academy is a college of the country.

Now the Qingluan jade crown on Emperor Wei's head was crowned by the tea saint Lu Yu himself, so as long as Shenmu Mountain does not fall, then no one dares to disobey the king's will.

From a certain point of view, Emperor Wei is the agent of Shenmu Mountain in the secular world.

It is precisely because of this that every move of Hongming Academy will be transmitted back to this deep palace and to the ears of Emperor Wei as soon as possible.

Emperor Wei knew that Xu Huanzhi had gone to Huizhou Mansion, and he also knew that Xu Huanzhi had entered Hongming Academy, but he didn't know if Xu Huanzhi at this time was really drinking tea with the dean.

What happened on the top of Shenmu Mountain that day?

"Why don't you let Shouren take a look?" Wei Di put his hands behind his back and asked Hua Yifu's opinion.

The Shouren in his mouth is naturally a scholar of Wang Yangming, and he is also the courtier who has the closest connection with Hongming Academy in the entire court, and he still remembers that the first class Su Wen listened to in Hongming Academy was taught by Wang Yangming.

Hua Yifu shook his head lightly and said, "Weichen thinks it's inappropriate, Lord Dean has his wisdom, and he will never see our country fall into civil strife." ”

Emperor Wei frowned slightly, and sighed, "But I can't really let Huanzhi die like this. ”

"The Dean won't kill you. Hua Yifu expressed his judgment and said with a smile: "The worst result is nothing more than being locked up and taught a lesson." ”

Emperor Wei's brows furrowed a little tighter, he was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Draft edict, transfer Xu Ying to the Lieutenant Division, and Bi Qingwen, the former captain of the Horse Garden, as the commander of the guards!"

When Hua Yifu heard this, the light in his eyes flashed, he didn't expect that His Majesty would be so decisive!

"Princess Ping's ......"

Emperor Wei waved his hand coldly and said, "I hope she has her own measure." ”

"Whoa!"

Hua Yifu didn't say anything more, bowed down and exited the brightly lit hall, and walked slowly on the white jade steps outside the hall, Hua Yifu suddenly felt a little cold, he wrapped his clothes tighter, and sighed in his heart.

This is to be separated from the Xu family!

In the autumn wind, perhaps no one thought that the Xu family, which was once powerful in defending the country, was in turmoil.

The Xu family mansion is located in the east of Yicheng City, which is the closest building to the imperial palace in the whole Yicheng, which has a long pavilion and flowing water, and a mountain stone flower garden, but even if it is magnificent, there is also its dark place.

Just as the Holy Inquisition has a notorious black prison, the Xu family also has its own dungeon.

At this moment, a young man was walking slowly to the dungeon, holding a golden handkerchief in his hand, gently covering his nose, and his eyes were full of disgust.

Now in Yicheng, almost everyone forgets that his real name is Xu Ying, because since the day of his wedding. It has a new name, Master Horse.

At this time, he had not yet completed the stone steps of the dungeon. A sumptuous carpet had already been laid under his feet, and for the first time the entire dungeon was so brightly lit. Just in the middle of the day, a luxurious red gold and jade chair was placed.

Xu Ying came to the chair and sat down gracefully, his wide robe lightly on his knees, driving away some of the cold in the dungeon.

A fat man with a face full of meat came to Xu Ying nervously and knelt down, piled up a flattering smile, showed a mouthful of yellow-black rotten teeth, and said: "The presence of the master of the horse is really flattering to the little one!"

As if he smelled the foul smell coming from the fat man's mouth, Xu Ying covered the golden handkerchief in his hand tighter. The disgust in his eyes became even thicker.

"How's the guy who sent me before?"

The fat man should be the cell boss here, and when he heard the question, he hurriedly replied: "Back to Master Ma, the pair of Huang family brothers and sisters have been recruited, but the little girl named Huang Xiao'e was poisoned and dumbfounded, so it was mainly her brother who said it." ”

As he spoke, the cell leader took out a crumpled confession from his arms and handed it to Xu Ying with both hands.

Xu Ying frowned and beckoned, and someone immediately took it for him.

"Read. ”

"The villain's name is Huang Zheng. is a native of Huizhou, and his sister is called Huang Xiao'e, who has been poor since childhood, and his parents died early. Thanks to the help of the neighbors, he was able to find a way to live, but it was a pity that the villain was not angry. Failed to make the list in the city examination and entered the temple to open the wisdom ......"

Hearing this, a trace of impatience flashed in Xu Ying's eyes. He said in a deep voice: "Pick important thoughts, mainly related to that Su Wen!"

"Yes. Yes!" The man in charge of reciting the confession suddenly trembled in his legs, and his fingers holding the paper trembled rapidly.

"Found it! here!" Seeing that the horse master's brows were getting tighter and tighter, the subordinate seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and read in a hurry: "That day, the young master of the Yan family suddenly visited and gave me a thousand taels of silver, asking me to do something for him, and said that there would be other benefits after the matter was completed......

Next, Huang Zheng told in his confession how he accepted Yan Zi'an's box of poisonous rouge, and how he harmed his sister with grief, and finally went to Lin Huaju to frame Su Wen, but Su Wen exposed his evil deeds in a few words.

"In order to thank Lord Su Wen for his grace of not killing, Xiao'e also made a special trip to embroider a sachet and sent it to him before the state exam, the villain can see that Xiao'e actually likes Lord Su Wen, but unfortunately with her current appearance, there is no hope of marrying someone in this life, and since that day, we have never seen Lord Su Wen again......"

It took nearly half a pillar of incense for the subordinate to read Huang Zheng's confession word by word, and Xu Ying was silent from beginning to end, and it was not until this time that he finally spoke.

"Finished?"

"Back to the horse, it's over. ”

Xu Ying raised his eyes slightly, cast a cold gaze at the cell leader, and said softly: "I gave you such a long time, and you asked for such useless things?"

Hearing this, the flattering smile on the cell leader's face suddenly froze, and was replaced by a cold sweat, he kowtowed to Xu Ying a few times, and then said urgently: "Back to Master Ma, that's really all the Huang family brothers and sisters know, I dare to use a head to vouch, they must have nothing else to hide!"

Xu Ying was noncommittal, and just asked lightly: "What about a young man's confession?"

The cell leader's face was suddenly full of bitterness, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a low voice: "No, I didn't ask." ”

Who would have thought that the storm he expected did not come because of this, Xu Ying only raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said, "Oh? ”

Hearing this, the cell leader kowtowed a few more times, and then hurriedly stood up and ran towards the cell behind him, and after a while, he walked back with a young man who no longer had a human form on his body.

Xu Ying looked at the young man's eyes full of death, seemed to be a little surprised, and asked, "Is he Fang Xiaole?" (to be continued......)
