Chapter 5: Conspiracy

At the same time, the Deep Blue Empire's Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion Nalandun Study.

At this time, Nalandun's study was very lively.

In addition to Wang Jincai, the finance minister who went to the Yunche Mansion with Nalandun during the day to ask for guilt, there were five people sitting.

They are Ye Yunqiu, the commander of the Imperial City City Guard, Du Changyuan, the deputy director of the Imperial Supervision Department, Xiong Batian, the captain of the Imperial Imperial Guard, and Xie Changting, the head of the Imperial Chamberlain.

Strangely, sitting on the main seat was not the master of the Imperial Empire, Nalandun, but a young man about forty years old.

Dressed gorgeously, his gestures were filled with the majesty of a superior person, as if he was Ning Zhiyuan, the twelfth prince of the Deep Blue Empire.

"Lord Nalan and Lord Wang, are the two sons seriously injured?

If you need it, feel free to tell me, this is the medicine I asked the imperial doctor to get, Yue'er, and send it to the two adults. ”

Ning Zhiyuan saw that everyone had arrived, and first asked Nalandun and Wang Jincai about the injuries of their sons, and then instructed a maid beside him to send the wound medicine to Nalandun and Wang Jincai.

"Your Highness's concern, the ministers are grateful. ”

Nalandun and Wang Jincai hurriedly took the medicine sent by the maid Yue'er, and said in unison.

Several ministers around also praised Ning Zhiyuan's compassion for his subordinates.

Ning Zhiyuan waved his hand, interrupted the flattery of several people, and began to discuss business.

"Today, we have gathered everyone to discuss in the Nalan Lord's Mansion because the King has received reliable information.

Yun Che, the director of the Supervision Department, is ready to take action against us, he knows that all of you are my confidants, and he also knows that I am unwilling to be destined for heaven.

And he was only loyal to my father, the emperor, and this king solicited many times, but he refused.

In recent years, he has collected various incriminating evidence from all the adults, and is ready to report it to his father on a later date.

At that time, I am afraid that none of us will be able to bear the wrath of my father. ”

When everyone heard Ning Zhiyuan say this, they all panicked.

The high-level officials of the Deep Blue Empire all knew that Yun Che, the first-class duke of the empire, the director of the Supervision Division, was himself a master of the third level of the royal rank, and he was even more selfless and upright.

During his sixteen years in office, he investigated and prosecuted nearly 100 corrupt officials, including six marquises, three second-class dukes, and even a first-class duke of the same rank as him.

Yun Che arranged for his clan to enter the Supervision Department to take charge of the secrets, and set up an intelligence team, which was divided into two parts: internal and external.

With the strong support of Emperor Ning Dao, the Imperial Intelligence Network spread throughout Deep Blue.

It is said that even the surrounding countries have secret agents buried by Yun Che, making the Supervision Department a feared functional department at the top of the empire.

Yun Che even got the title of "Iron-Faced Yama" among the imperial elites.

It's a pity that now the old emperor Ning Dao is entering his old age, except for the eldest prince Ning Zhixuan and the twelfth prince Ning Zhiyuan, the remaining sixteen children are daughters.

Therefore, the affairs of the empire were mostly handled by the two princes.

Among them, the eldest prince Ning Zhixuan was in charge of military and foreign affairs, and the twelfth prince Ning Zhiyuan was in charge of internal affairs.

As one of the only two princes of the Deep Blue Emperor Ning Dao, Ning Zhiyuan has the ambition to ascend to the throne.

It was also for this purpose that he hit it off with Nalandun, Wang Jincai and other important ministers.

For the sake of the throne, Ning Zhiyuan's faction has done a lot of hurtful and rebellious things over the years.

Although he has tried his best to keep it secret, he still has a lot of clues and evidence by Yun Che's intelligence organization.

"Yes, Your Highness, today I and Lord Wang went to his house to ask his two sons for their guilt.

He obviously paid me a hundred ingots of gold, but what he really showed me was a piece of paper listing my son's wrongdoing, which showed his threat. ”

Nalandun told everyone present some details of what happened in Yunche's mansion today, and Wang Jincai also added it from time to time.

The two even took out the note that Yun Che gave them and showed it to everyone.

"Hmph, Yun Che is deceiving people too much, even the sons of the two adults are so closely monitored, let alone us.

In case the emperor knows something, don't we die without a place to be buried?"

As a city guard guarding the safety of the imperial city, the daily taxes and security expenses for entering the city are several large incomes.

Over the years, Ye Yunqiuke has deducted a considerable part of his taxes, except for filial piety to Ning Zhiyuan, the rest have been filled by him.

These are all capital crimes, so after Ye Yunqiu heard what Ning Zhiyuan said, she was especially afraid that Yun Che would have the evidence of her crimes.

Hearing Ye Yunqiu say this, Nalandun, Wang Jincai, and Xiongbatian all kept bowing their heads in agreement, obviously they all had some secrets that were not enough for outsiders.

Ning Zhiyuan saw that Ye Yunqiu and the other four were a little flustered, so he opened his mouth to reassure: "A few adults, don't be impatient, this king already has a perfect plan to deal with Yun Che."

Lord Du and Lord Xie have also made a lot of preliminary preparations, and when the time comes, I will invite you to watch a play with this king.

To deal with Yun Che, we must be able to hit the ground with one blow, and we will do this first... And so it goes......

Tomorrow morning, what do you think?"

"Your Highness is wise, in this way, even if he has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, there is only one way to die, hahahaha!"

After listening to Ning Zhiyuan's jihua, he immediately put his heart back in his stomach, and bursts of piercing laughter erupted from Nalandun's study from time to time.

At this time, no one noticed the deep trace of disdain and ridicule hidden in the corners of Ning Zhiyuan's maid Yue'er's eyes.

The next day, it started to rain just after dawn, and the gray sky affected the mood of the travelers.

Early in the morning, after Yun Che finished washing, he asked Hua Menglan some things and then prepared to enter the palace.

Hua Menglan also told Yun Che to be cautious in her words and deeds, and to go early and return early.

The two brothers, Tianyao and Tianxiang, also got up early.

After saying goodbye to Yun Che, Tianyao went to Yiranju to invite Li Mubai, and Tianxiang didn't know that he went to that pimple corner to tinker with things again.

Yun Che rode the carriage along the official road to the palace, and suddenly heard a rush of running on the way.

He lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see a group of city guards in two rows, staggered with the carriage.

Yun Che roughly counted them, there were at least thousands of soldiers, and it turned out to be Ye Yunqiu, the commander of the city guards, who personally led the team.

Yun Che lowered the curtains, and a hint of foreboding arose, but thinking that he still had important things to do, he could only hold back his mood.

Tell the coachman to hurry up and rush to the palace as soon as possible, so as not to miss a major incident.

When he came to the east gate of the palace, before he got off the carriage, Yun Che felt that something was wrong.

It was so quiet outside, except for the "dripping" sound of rain dripping to the ground, there was neither the conversation of the ministers when they went up to the court to chat, nor the greetings of the royal guards to greet them, nor the secret agents who had been assigned to Haode yesterday to pick him up.

Yun Che got out of the carriage, told the coachman to go back on his own, and then began to look around.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the coachman was about to leave, he was pierced through the heart by a sharp arrow, fell off the carriage, and died of anger.
