The Son of Heaven was furious, and the blood flowed. Yuan Xi and Xu Wenliang both knelt down, like broken sugar cane. After the emperor scolded Lan Chengjie, he stared at Yuan Xi and Xu Wenliang with a pair of blood-red eyes: "What are you kneeling for?"

Xu Wenliang looked at Yuan Xi, and Yuan Xi said: "The son made his father angry." ”

"I'm not angry with you, I hate Lan Chengjie for being bold. The emperor returned to the dragon book case, dipped his pen in the pen, and wrote down the edict with a wave. Pondered for a moment: "Spread my will, print Lan Chengjie's case into a newspaper, and send it to the state capitals and counties, from now on, whoever dares to follow in the footsteps of Lan Chengjie will be punished with double responsibility." ”

Xu Wenliang took the emperor's edict, read it carefully, and was shocked into a cold sweat. The emperor wants to destroy the five clans of the Lan family?

Xu Wenliang and Yuanxi walked outside the palace gate one after another, Xu Wenliang held the edict in both hands, but his mood was as heavy as Yuanxi. Yuan Xi's heart turned over for a while, the family had just died, and the old man of the clan had no queen, so naturally Cheng Yong wanted to fight for him and hang filial piety, and at this time, he actually caught up with the emperor to kill the five clans of the Lan family? This is the first major case of exterminating the clan in this dynasty, and everyone in the streets and alleys will inevitably talk about it at that time. Yuan Xi frowned, this matter must not be hidden, you can't blindfold Cheng Yong's eyes and plug your ears, right?

After walking for a while, Xu Wenliang suddenly said, "The crown princess stays." ”

Yuan Xi stood still, the long verandah of the palace was empty, Yuan Xi looked back at him and asked, "Eunuch Xu, is there something wrong?"

Xu Wenliang smiled slightly and asked: "The villain has something to understand, I want to ask the crown princess, the emperor wants to destroy the five clans of the Lan family, I don't know what relatives are among these five clans?"

Won-hee was speechless. Xu Wenliang's meaning is very clear, Lan Yu is very Lan Chengjie is an immediate family, neither of them is out of five suits, Lan Yu is definitely included in the edict. Xu Wenliang would never ask such a low-level question, and since he did, he wanted to remind Yuan Xi that it was time to hand over Lan Yu.

But handing people over, this matter, easy to say but hard to do. Yuan Xi hesitated for a while: "Eunuch Xu, don't move here, I'll go and plead with my father." ”

Xu Wenliang took a step forward, stopped Yuan Xi, and said in a low voice: "The villain persuaded the princess not to waste her efforts, the holy decree is clearly written, destroy the five clans of the Lan family." Moreover, the emperor and his old man already knew that Lan Yu was in your mansion, and if he really wanted to let her go, he would have been extrajudicial a long time ago. If you turn back and ask later, the emperor can't bear to refute it because of his face. But if you agree to your request, the emperor himself is not happy, you are smart, why do you do this?"

It is said that Xu Wenliang is a roundworm in the emperor's stomach, of course, this means that Xu Wenliang knows the emperor's mind well, and does not have any derogatory meaning. When he said this, doesn't it mean that this is what the emperor meant?

Seeing that Yuan Xi was hesitant and uneasy, Xu Wenliang said in a low voice: "The emperor also has an edict to ask the villain to tell the crown princess alone." ”

Yuan Xi nodded, and Xu Wenliang said in a low voice: "The emperor said that Lan Chengjie gave you a bribe of 40 million taels last night, and you don't have to hand it over in full." No one knows about this silver, so I asked you to quietly send the silver to the prince, and use it as the military capital of the prince's 'Ming and Sanwei'. ”

"Gone?" Yuan Xi was not surprised that the emperor knew about Lan Chengjie's bribery last night, she was surprised that the emperor really did not have any affection for Lan Yu.

Xu Wenliang nodded and said seriously: "The emperor also said that in addition to these, there is no need to hope for other princesses." ”

Yuan Xi opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time.

Xu Wenliang said in a low voice: "Crown princess, the villain went to Dali Temple to pass the decree first." After he said that, he bypassed Yuan Xi, walked two steps, suddenly stopped, turned around and said: "The crown princess Bingxue is smart, she must be able to understand the emperor's painstaking efforts, who has no parents and no children? ”

After Xu Wenliang left, Yuan Xi stood on the pillar for a while.

As a victim of a royal marriage, Lan Yu's short life is too sad.

Walking in the long corridor, Yuan Xi suddenly hoped that this road would never end, so that she would not have to go back to her home and not have to face Lan Yu. Handing over Lanyu to Dali Temple undoubtedly killed her with his own hands, Yuanxi lowered her head, this time, she really couldn't do it.

It would be nice if Rong Zhan was around, at least he could help him get an idea. There was no one around, and Yuan Xi suddenly wanted to throw herself into Rong Zhan's arms and cry.

Liu Tianbao was waiting at the gate of the palace, and when he saw Yuanxi coming out, he hurriedly greeted him: "Miss, just now I saw Eunuch Xu take the holy decree to Dali Temple, what is the emperor going to do with the Lan family?"

"Exterminate the five clans. Won-hee's voice was so low that she couldn't even hear herself.

"Five, five clans?" Liu Tianbao was taken aback, and a sense of admiration suddenly sprouted in his heart, in the past, he only knew that the current emperor loved the people like a son, but he didn't know that he had such a thunderous means to deal with corruption.

Yuan Xi looked up at him, a little surprised: "You seem to be happy?"

Happy, naturally happy. Liu Tianbao was originally from a poor background, how could he not be happy when he heard that the emperor severely punished corrupt officials who oppressed the people?

"What's wrong?" Liu Tianbao asked rhetorically.

"Do you know what Wufu means?" asked Won-hee coldly.

Liu Tianbao was stunned, and suddenly remembered that there was still a young lady of the Lan family lying in the side hall of the prince's mansion. couldn't help but grow his mouth: "Lan, Miss Lan is also included?"

Won-hee didn't speak, it's lice on the bald man's head - it's a clear thing.

Liu Tianbao was a little stunned: "Miss Lan hasn't done anything wrong, besides, it's better to die than to be paralyzed on the bed, the emperor still wants it?"

Yuan Xi frowned: "Silence." ”

Liu Tianbao covered his mouth, and now he is still outside the palace gate, who knows which guard is the emperor's secret agent? The carriage drove to the prosperous market before Liu Tianbao opened his mouth and asked, "Then what should we do? Really hand over Miss Lan?"

Why did the emperor want Lan Yu to die, Liu Tianbao didn't understand, and Yuan Xi couldn't explain it to him, after all, it seemed that the emperor was very selfish when he explained it like this. In order for his daughter to have a harmonious marriage with Cheng Yong, he took the lead in getting rid of Cheng Yong's sweetheart, although she was the daughter of a criminal minister.

"Dali Temple will not allow us not to pay? Even if we don't pay, they will send someone to lock the door. ”

Liu Tianbao sighed: "This Miss Lan is too pitiful, isn't it?"

Passing by the upper pavilion, Yuan Xi knocked on the car door, and Liu Tianbao stopped. Yuan Xi grabbed Liu Tianbao's wrist and got out of the car, and ordered: "The clan elder is gone this morning, you go back and tell Mother Zhong to ask her to think about sending a pair of couplets." ”

Liu Tianbao answered and drove the carriage back. Yuan Xi stepped into the upper cabinet, and the young man greeted him: "The owner, Boss Lu is not here!"

"Isn't there, where have you been?" Won-hee frowned, he was discussing something important with him, but he wasn't there.

"I heard that I went to worship someone, so I left last night. ”

Presumably, it was close to the end of the year, and Lu Shenglin went to worship the wife who had been let down by him.

"Did you say when you would be back?" asked Won-hee.

The young man shook his head: "Yo, this is not accurate, yesterday the boss said that he was going to go far away, and he didn't seem to say that he was going back for the New Year." ”

That is to say, Lu Shenglin is preparing to come back after the New Year? Yuanxi has a failed matter in his heart. Lu Shenglin couldn't use it, the Wei family was in chaos again, and his own people were constantly hindered by Xu Wenliang's eyeliner. Yuan Xi was annoyed and didn't know why, turned around and left.

"Eh, host, don't you want to drink tea before leaving?"

It seems that in the huge capital, there is no one who can save Lanyu.

A hawker pushing a cart on the side of the road had an extremely high-pitched voice, which made people have a headache: "Alas, the people who came by have looked carefully, the truth and the fake are playing, you taste my meatballs, there are meat and vegetables and there is still pulp!"

As soon as Yuan Xi looked up, the words "true and false balls" were hung on his banner, which were drawn with charcoal, how ugly and ugly they were. As the name suggests, in a bowl of meatball soup, there are meatballs and vegetable balls, but the taste is unpleasant, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake like a play.

"Well, miss, do you want a bowl of meatball soup?" the peddler tossed the slightly cloudy soup in the pot with his hands and feet. The real and fake balls are stirred in a pot, which is really indistinguishable.

Yuan Xi was stunned for a while, did he have to use the method of stealing the sky to save Lan Yu?

It's not a smart move, but it works. How many people in the five clans of the Lan family, if they make some silver quietly exchange for one, who can find out? Just find a heinous female prisoner, change into Lan Yu's clothes, and die for her when the time comes. There is no such person as Lanyu in this world, and the real Lanyu in the house can change his name and surname, at the ends of the earth, where can he not be accommodated?

Yuan Xi hooked the corners of his lips, it is better to have a way than not to have a way. Although I am sorry for the emperor and queen, and I am sorry for my eldest brother, as long as I save Lan Yu's life, I will be worthy of my conscience.

But in this Dali Temple, who can do this for himself?

Yuan Xi ordered a bowl of hot and sour meatball soup and sat on the side of the street and drank it slowly.

Before the bowl of soup was finished, there was a commotion at the entrance of the street, and the huge sound of copper Luo was even more disturbing than the hawker's shouting just now. Won-hee covered his ears with one hand and pinched the spoon with the other. Whose honor guard is this, it is also swaggering, attracting more than 100 people on a street to see the excitement.

The vendor craned his neck and wanted to join in the fun, but no one could help him watch the stall, and he was a little unwilling.

Yuan Xibian flattened his mouth: "You go and see, I'll help you look at the stall." The peddler rushed to the edge of the crowd with a thousand thanks, Yuan Xi shook his head helplessly, I don't know what to see about this?

The sound of Tongluo is getting tighter and tighter, the people are noisy, Yuan Xi is clenching the spoon tightly, he is very annoyed, he is very annoyed! I couldn't think of who to go to Dali Temple to do something, so I made this Tongluo sound noisy, and my heart was even more unsounding. Let me know who it is, I have to roll him up in person!

Won-hee hung his fist on the table in hatred. The vendor's table was not very strong, so he punched lightly, as if it was about to fall apart, and Yuan Xi hurriedly raised his hand, but he didn't dare to touch it.

The soup was not in the mood to drink, and Won-hee covered his ears with his hands. The whole street was watching the excitement, but she was the only one who shrunk down the side of the street in a cloak, which was also an outlier.

When the sound of bronze Luo was very close to her, it stopped. Suddenly feeling someone reach out and pull her wrist, Won-hee looked up, and a familiar face came into view.
