The carriage drove into Chenghua Mansion, carrying not the triumph after the victory, but a gloomy cloud.

When passing through the huge city gate, the expressions of Jiang Chengfeng, Huo Fu and the drunkard had become serious unconsciously.

They smelled the smell of conspiracy.

Entering the city, this is not the central area of Chenghua Mansion, as the imperial capital of Dayue, Chenghua Mansion is not like other mansions, with several cities, but the four small cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest, guarding in front of the Sifang City Gate, known as the Four Acropolis, at this moment they are in the range of the West Acropolis.

Huo Wu lifted the curtain, he felt a little stuffy, and wanted to breathe.

At this time, it is already the beginning of the lanterns, and the night scene of the West Acropolis is not as colorful and splendid as in the main urban area of Chenghuafu, only the scattered shops and wine shops are still open, and the flow of people on the street is far less than the bustle of the main urban area.

It's such a view, but it has a little more sense of calm comfort, but I don't know how many undercurrents are hidden in this calm night.

......

More than two hours later, in the imperial city, Zhang Tianxi's bedroom.

Han Hui was wearing the python robe of the same king with a different surname, standing in front of the door of the dormitory, and a eunuch next to him was holding a lamp and waiting with low eyebrows.

For him, a eunuch, the highest glory is to become the emperor's personal eunuch, but Zhang Yuntao insisted on using his maidservants and servants, so that he had no chance, but it didn't matter if he couldn't serve the emperor, if he served this prime minister, it would be the same, after all, Han Hui's weight was to some extent higher than Zhang Yuntao, who was a king.

The more he thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and this eunuch almost imagined that he was selected by Han Hui, and he was promoted to the rank of knight all the way, and walked to the top of the eunuch world in Dayue.

But he would never have thought that this would never be realized, because the most powerful eunuch in Dayue was standing behind him at this moment.

Wen Jin was dressed in a black robe, with a black feather crown on his head and an eye carved on the crown, which was intimidating.

Now that he has been under the supervision department for more than a year, he has not known how many corrupt officials and rebellious remnants of the party have been planted in his hands.

Exactly: the remnant body is dressed in a black robe, and his eyes are looking at the sixteen roads in all directions.

The murderer leads a group of crows, and holds the ups and downs of hundreds of officials.

Asking for life and snatching souls and frightening ghosts, only to hear miserable sounds.

In front of the Yama Palace, the soul was judged, and Wen Jin cried and sued Wen Jin to kill.

Wen Jin's black feather crown does not represent any official rank, but only represents the Supervision Department, which has the imperial power charter and has no taboo meaning, and it is this excessive power that has created Wen Jin's murderous monstrousness.

Outside the system of hundreds of officials, the layout is in a small and micro place, Zhang Yuntao is personally sealed on the surface, and Han Hui supports him secretly, if Wen Jin is not the most powerful eunuch in Dayue, then I am afraid there is no second person.

It's just that not many people know about his identity as a eunuch, and if he knows it, he doesn't dare to spread it around.

He had just met Jiang Chengfeng and Huo Fu, and he had basically mastered the situation of the battle around the gravel, and at this time, he accompanied Master Han Hui into the palace to face the saint, precisely for the death of the Zidao people.

As for Jiang Chengfeng, he had gone to Zhong Chengmeng's Mansion and invited him to visit the Dingshan Mansion together, after all, this kind of thing is indeed more suitable for Shenwu Weiguan.

Huo Fu returned to the Tianlian Academy to recuperate, and he had other things to do.

"Click!"

The door of the dormitory was open, Han Hui clenched his fists and bowed his head, Wen Jin knelt down on one knee, and the eunuch pressed the already humble head even lower, eager to merge with the ground.

"See Your Majesty. ”

Zhang Yuntao walked out in civilian clothes, glanced at it, and immediately stepped forward quickly, helped Han Hui, and said softly: "This is not the court, the prime minister doesn't have to be polite." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Han Hui straightened up, and Wen Jin's legs and stomach also trembled, but he didn't stand up.

Until Zhang Yuntao looked at him and said, "Wen Aiqing is flat." He stood up respectfully.

Although he is only in his early twenties, not much older than Zhang Yuntao, but the more young he is, the easier it is to destroy his future due to arrogance.

The remaining half, he also wants to understand, but sometimes he can't take care of it.

When things are going well, many things are not taken care of.

Let's hope they don't stand in the way in the future.

After Zhang Yuntao leveled everyone, Han Hui said with a straight face: "It is the fault of the ministers to disturb Your Majesty's rest late at night, but there is something I have to say." ”

"I know," Zhang Yuntao said in a deep voice, "Qi Can has already told me that the battle with the Red Dragon Army will be won by our side, but on the way back, I found the remains of the Purple Dao people who have been missing. ”

"Exactly. Han replied: "Zhong Chengmeng, the chief secretary of Shenwuwei, and Jiang Chengfeng, the deputy director, have gone to the Dingshan Mansion to return the body and appease the Dingshan Gong, please decide what to do next." ”

If it was just when he first ascended the throne, Zhang Yuntao would have handed over the matter to Han Hui without thinking about it, but at this time, he was no longer a teenager who had just entered the imperial city.

The first emperor Zhang Yunlan regretted the most that he could save Dayue but could not govern Dayue, all relying on Han Hui to support him for ten years, until Zhang Yuntao's time, whether it was himself or Han Hui, he wanted to put part of this power branch into the hands of the emperor.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yuntao said: "Early tomorrow morning, I will reward the delegates first, and then announce the news of the murder of the Zidao people, and allocate some gold and silver money to appease the Dingshan Mansion. ”

"That's right," a smile appeared on Han Hui's rare face, and he became more and more satisfied with Zhang Yuntao: "Your Majesty's arrangement is not leaky, and all parties have been considered, as for how to investigate this privately, leave it to the minister's two apprentices." ”

"Wen Jin will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust!"

Wen Jin's voice sounded, he now has a lot of power in his hands, and he has to find the right time to perform.

He has been walking in the imperial city for the past few years, whether it is through Han Hui's relationship or his identity as the general director of the Supervision Department, there are really many opportunities to face the saint, and he has long been familiar with Zhang Yuntao.

You must know that his official position is completely handled by Han Hui, if he can't get any results, Zhang Yuntao can completely take him down.

Zhang Yuntao said with a smile: "As the prime minister, Mr. Wen is a high-ranking minister, and I am absolutely at ease if you do things." ”

"I and the prime minister will have to deal with the affairs of the Red Dragon Army from tomorrow, I heard that there was also a killing of the envoy of Tongye Mountain in the battle, these add up to a lot of trouble, and the case of the Purple Dao Man will be handed over to you. ”

"Your Majesty Xie trusts. Wen Jin said respectfully: "The minister promises that the minister and the two senior brothers will give a big gift to His Majesty." ”

"Senior brother?" Zhang Yuntao asked, "You mean Jiang Chengfeng and Huo Fu?"

"That's right. Wen Jin said: "The minister has the courage to sell a pass, give the minister a month, and after a month, the minister and the two senior brothers will definitely be able to remove these big troubles in Chenghua Mansion for Your Majesty!"

Jiang Huo and the two are different from Wen Jin, one is subordinate to Shenwuwei, and the other is dealing with files all day, so there is basically no chance to meet the saint, although Zhang Yuntao has seen the two, he is not as familiar as Wen Jin.

"Hahaha......"

Zhang Yuntao laughed for a while, arrogant, now he is green and faded, and he is more and more like Zhang Yunlan back then.

"My great trouble? Even I don't know what kind of trouble is in Washington. ”

"But now that Mr. Wen has opened this mouth, I also look forward to what kind of gift you can bring to me. ”

......

Joyama Mansion.

Zhou Hong looked at the corpse of the Zidao man in front of him, his hands trembled, and his old tears were in full swing.

"Who killed you! Ben Gong will avenge you!"

Beside him, there stood three other worshippers in the mansion.

"The head of the family is not angry, you are now seriously ill and have not recovered, so you can't be angry. ”

The worship named Gao Lan persuaded him, he was also shocked and sad, Zi Dao was his old friend for many years, and now that he was dead, he secretly swore that he would pay for the murderer's blood debt.

Jiang Chengfeng and Zhong Jinmeng looked at this scene with some embarrassment, the death of the Purple Dao people had a great impact on the Dingshan Mansion.

"Master of the house!" said Shenku, who was born like a living skeleton, and his hoarse voice was indeed more terrible than the howl of a ghost crying wolf.

"I know who killed Zi Lao Dao!"

This sentence caused Zhou Hong and the other two worshippers to ask eagerly: "Who is it!"

Jiang Chengfeng and Zhong Chengmeng also came over, if they could lock the identity of the murderer, it would be twice the result with half the effort.

"Luo Kong!" Shen Ku pointed to a wound on the purple Dao man's body and said, "This was slashed by the Void Palm Knife, and the murderer should be the Empty Demon-Luo Kong!"
