At the city gate, Gui Ming came to bid farewell to Shi Yan, who was about to return to his hometown.

"Brother Shi, the younger brother has hidden a lot in order to investigate the case, please don't mind. Gui Ming said apologetically.

"Haha, I didn't expect that you would be the deputy commander of the dignified Dragon Guard, you really don't know gold and jade. But I'm honored to know a friend like you, and it's thanks to you that I didn't get caught up in this case. Shi Yan said with a smile.

"It's a long way to Bac Ninh, and Brother Shi has to be careful all the way. Gui Ming clasped his hands into fists and saluted.

"Don't worry, no matter how I say it, I'm also a lay disciple of Longhu Temple, and I can't help if I really encounter a few robbers who are blocking the way. Shi Yan patted the full burden on his back and said.

He came to the capital this time and was unexpectedly involved in such a big case. But because of a chance encounter with Guiming, with his help, not only did he finally stay out of the matter, but he also earned a lot of money, and he could finally go back and live a peaceful life with his family.

"Brother Shi, take care!" Gui Ming said.

"Brother Guiming, take care, if you have the opportunity to come to Bac Ninh, don't forget to look for me. Shi Yan said goodbye to Guiming and rode away.

Anyway, for Ran Su'er, she has achieved her goal. Not only did she get justice for her father, but the emperor also rewarded her with grace, and no longer held her accountable for the crime of attempting to kidnap the holy driver. It's a pity that no amount of rewards can buy back his father's life.

The General's Mansion is located on a bustling street in the northeast of the city, and Ran Su'er finally has a place to settle down. Her father's old subordinates also stayed behind and chose to continue to follow her.

She also changed back to her real name, Ran Yi.

Gui Ming can finally go home openly, but the person he wants to see the most has moved away.

Before Ran Yi left, she gave her Zhong Niqin to Gui Sisi to thank her for her care and companionship these days. left a small box for Guiming.

He opened the box and saw that there was a delicate and elegant little sachet lying inside, fragrant and fragrant. Immediately, he was overjoyed.

"The red ribbon, the brocade sachet, is the intention of the table flower, and the jade lang is given diligently. ”

Ran Yi gave this thing to Guiming, and her intention was already obvious.

"Ming Shao, what are you in a daze. Yu Zhong walked in.

"Nothing, hehe. Gui Ming hurriedly hid the sachet in his waist, if Yu Zhong saw that he was carrying something for a woman, he would inevitably make fun of him again.

"Look who's coming. Yu Zhong smiled mysteriously.

I saw a figure flash from behind Yu Zhong, and a trademark folding fan swayed in his hand.

"It's been a long time!" Gui Ming hugged him and shouted happily.

It turned out that Xie Huchen went to Beijing to report on his work this time, and secondly, he brought the files related to the dark accounts and submitted them to the imperial court.

"Where's Miss Hua?" asked Yu Zhong.

"She went back to the Taiyi Bureau first, after all, she may not have seen her father for a long time. Xie Huchen replied.

"Hey, listen to this, we now have a confidant. Gui Ming quipped.

The three brothers, it is rare for them to get together in the capital, so they naturally want to drink a thousand cups of wine with their confidants. Since it is a drinking chat, it is inevitable to talk about everyone's recent encounters.

After listening to Yu Chong's account of this treason case, Xie Huchen was silent for a long time, obviously having a plan in his heart.

"Do you have any opinion on this, we are worried that no one will discuss. Yu Zhong asked.

"There are a lot of suspicions about this, and I think you two are aware of it, but I have an idea. Xie Huchen thought for a while and said.

"What's the idea?" asked Yu Chong and Gui Ming almost in unison.

Xie Huchen told his calculations, and Yu Zhong couldn't help but have another layer of worry in his heart when he heard it.

White Horse Temple.

Yu Zhong is here again, and Master Innocent has already prepared clear tea.

"Master, do you know I'm coming?" Yu Zhong said strangely.

"In this capital, the dark tide is surging, and Master Yu has long been involved in it, so he will naturally be confused from time to time. Master Unsullied replied with narrowed eyes.

"I wonder if the master has any good words?" Yu Zhong asked.

"Being in the red dust, the heart is outside the red dust, as long as the donor knows what to do and what not to do, he will naturally not be trapped by the demons. Master Innocent replied.

Yu Zhong didn't speak again, got up and bowed, and exited the meditation room.

There are some things that he thinks he has let go, but in fact they are just selectively forgotten.

But when Xie Huchen's plan would affect that person, his heart would inevitably be chaotic.

Zhongjing Prefecture.

Hua Ren'an and Gui Ming walked into the inner hall together, and the two of them went to the Ministry of Officials, and transferred the list of the eighteen roads of the Han Kingdom in the whole of the country, and the gold medal of the second prince played a role again.

And Yu Zhong and Xie Huchen had been waiting here for a long time, and everyone divided the information and read it carefully.

"This, this, and this, these are all protégés of Taishi Chen Jing. Gui Ming pointed to several documents and said.

"These new appointments are the same. "I also picked out a few copies of Yu Zhong.

"What is Taishi Chen trying to do. Hua Ren'an's hands trembled, he was also Chen Jing's protégé. Although he also knows that Chen Jingtao and Li are all over the world, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition. But he never thought that Chen Jing would also be involved in military power.

This means that Chen Jing's party has become a climate, and it has already violated the royal taboo by forming a party for personal gain. If the emperor knows, I'm afraid it will be at least a crime of confiscation.

"Huada, Chen Jing is your mentor, if you want to stop now, it's still too late. Xie Huchen said unhurriedly.

Hua Ren'an looked at the three young people in front of him, and his heart was full of thoughts. It was also at this age that he was the first to enter the rank in the tribute examination, and the main test of that one was Chen Jing.

At that time, he was enthusiastic to serve the country, honest and honest officials, and upright. Because of his outstanding political performance and good official reputation, he has been promoted all the way. In the end, he was trusted by the imperial court to serve as the governor of Zhongjing, and he served for six years.

"No, that's why I'm looking it up. If it is verified, I, as an official of the imperial court, will be the right one to be the holy favor of the Son of Heaven, and the right one to be born at dawn. ”

Hua Ren'an paused, and then said: "If the verification is not true, I will also give my teacher justice." In fact, he knew in his heart that what he had seen and heard in the court over the years was more likely to be the former.

"Although these people are all protégés of Master Chen, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be people like Huada who have the same heart for the country and society and do not want to form a party, so they are not our targets. ”

After Xie Huchen finished speaking, he stretched out his finger and pointed at a person's information.

"He's our target. ”

Everyone saw that this was none other than the new commander of the left road of Jingbei. This is also the appointment that Chen Jing obtained by striving for the court.

If there is one of so many people who is most likely to be Chen Jing's person, it is naturally this person. The truth of the death of the Yuan system and the secrets hidden behind him are probably going to be opened with this person as a breakthrough.

A few days later.

Chen Nahai hurriedly rushed into the Taishi's Mansion with an anxious expression.

"Father, it's not good, the new commander of the left road of Jingbei is missing on the way to his post......" His expression was very flustered.

"What, missing?" Chen Jing stood up suddenly, and sat down slowly, his expression was terrifying.

"What should I do, he has your secret letter on him, if someone else gets it, I'm afraid something big will happen. Chen Nahai said.

"Don't rush yet, let me think about it. When Chen Jing heard the news, he also panicked. He also knew that the matter of the Yuan system had just been reported, so he was busy arranging his own people to take office, which was indeed a bit of a hurry. It's just that his plan is imminent, and time does not allow him to think about it.

The disappearance of an official of the imperial court on the way to his post is the first time since the founding of the Southern Han Dynasty, which is simply incredible.

But what he was more worried about was that if the important secret letter was obtained by someone with a heart, all his plans would be in vain, and the power and status he had accumulated in his life would be ruined.

"Check! Send someone to check!" Chen Jing's clenched fists trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were full of horror.

"Yes, father. Chen Nahai hurriedly retreated.

On the lobby of the Chukyo Mansion.

"How is it, is there any movement in the Taishi Mansion?" Xie Huchen shook the folding fan lightly, his face relaxed.

"The agents of the Taishi Mansion have all been dispatched. "Guiming replied.

"Huada, it's up to you next. Xie Huchen saluted.

"Someone, pass the order, you can act. In addition, with my prayer post, please ask the commander of the City Defense Department to make your Excellency come to the house. "Hua Ren'an made a decision in order to investigate the case, anyway, he has been demoted three levels in a row, so it's a big deal to lose his official position.

In an instant, thousands of officers and soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Zhongjing Mansion poured out as if facing a great enemy. Under the pretext of investigating the disappearance of officials, they searched the streets and blocked all the gates of the entire city of Zhongjing, allowing only entry and exit.

And because the soldiers and horses of the city defense division could not contact the commander, they could only obediently hand over the control of all the city gates.

Taishifu.

"Father, something is wrong, the city gate is blocked, and our people can't get out. Chen Nahai hurriedly ran in again and almost fell.

"What's the matter, what are the people from the City Defense Division doing?" Chen Jing said angrily.

"It's not the people of the City Defense Division, the officers and soldiers of the Zhongjing Mansion have taken over all the city gates. Chen Nahai replied.

"What? It's Ren'an ......" Chen Jing didn't know what kind of reputation this student with the most bad temper was doing.

"Could it be that the missing ruler has already fallen into his hands?" Chen Nahai worried.

"No, no, if that's the case, he should have acted in secret, and there shouldn't have been such a big move. This just shows that the man is not in his hands. Chen Jing calmed down and thought.

But if this is the case, who will the person be? Chen Jing knew that no matter who this person was, his purpose was obvious, and it must be aimed at himself.
