When Xiao Jinyan returned to the previous restaurant, Jin Buchang and Xiao Hongyu had just arrived, and the three of them entered the restaurant together, and the guy looked at them with a stunned expression.

"Weren't you captured by the officers and soldiers?"

Jin Bu said, "Thanks to you, it's coming out again." Aren't you here to thank you?"

The guy is not stupid, he knew that these two people were here to find fault, and he was about to slip away, and said, "It's a good thing, I'll go to the back kitchen to arrange, stir-fry two dishes, and celebrate." ”

Jin Buchang stopped in front of him, "Report us to the government, brother, it's not kind to do this, right?"

The guy argued, "When we encounter a suspicious person, it is our duty to report it to the government. He pointed at Xiao Jinyan, "What's more, he is still surnamed Xiao!"

"What's wrong with my surname Xiao?"

"I didn't do it, your fans did it!"

Jin Buchang said a little bit of nonsense, "Originally, we wanted to go to the government to grab some silver flowers, but you made 10,000 taels less silver by making such a mess, so we had to come to you to ask for it." ”

The guy took off his clothes, lay down on the ground, covered the back of his head with his left hand, and protected his crotch with his right hand, "If you want money, you will die, come on." ”

Jin Buchang saw that he looked like he was not stingy, and said in his heart that this guy was a splash, and said, "You blocked all the key places, and besides, I am not interested in men." ”

Little Redfish said, "I'm hungry." ”

Xiao Jinyan wanted to teach the guy a lesson, but at this moment, the little red fish was injured, and he didn't bother to bother with him, so he said, "Prepare some food and send it to the room." ”

The three of them went back to their rooms.

Xiao Hongyu was hit by a blow from Commander Wan, and the injury was not light, Xiao Jinyan probed it with string force, but fortunately he did not hurt his internal organs, and he did not worry about his life.

He didn't expect to meet the little red fish here.

Helping her to the table, Xiao Jinyan used her internal strength to help her drive away the true qi that Commander Wan left in her body, and Xiao Hongyu's complexion improved.

"Miss Su, why are you here?"

Xiao Hongyu glanced at Xiao Jinyan, and there was some sadness in his eyes. Back then, she was instructed to find Xiao Jinyan, and experienced a lot of things together, of course, the relationship between the two was more friends, but she still had a good impression of this man in her heart. Now, he has confirmed his relationship with the eldest lady, and he can't say anything in his heart.

"In the past two years, I have been on a secret mission in the capital on the orders of my father-in-law, and I got a clue not long ago and came here. ”

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Martial Arts?"

In the county office, he heard that the commander surnamed Wan had mentioned the martial arts. Little Hongyu shook his head, "The Martial Arts Scripture is just a disguise, and what I want to investigate is more important than this." ”

"What's the matter?"

Little Red Fish looked at Jin Bu and glanced at him.

Because of the relationship between Yuwen Tianlu and Xiao Jinyan, she believed in Xiao Jinyan, but she didn't know Jin Buchang, so she didn't speak.

Jin Buchang is also interested, "I'll go downstairs to see, is it ready for supper." With that, he walked out.

Only then did the little red fish say, "I am tracking down the same thing as those men in black, a secret decree that His Majesty once issued. ”

"Secret purpose?"

Xiao Jinyan was a little puzzled.

"Last year, His Majesty convicted Lord Yuwen of treason, and listed eight major crimes, one of which was the slaughter of the city in Dingzhou. ”

This matter is known to the whole world, and when Yuwen Tianlu is in the middle of the day, no one dares to mention it. Once he falls, this matter will become the target of official attacks, and it will also become the original sin of crusade in the mouths of the people of the world.

Xiao Hongyu said, "Everyone in the world thinks that the slaughter of the city in Dingzhou was done by the righteous father, and the person who really ordered the slaughter of the city is the current saint! ”

Xiao Jinyan originally thought that Yuwen Tianlu's slaughter of the city was to show his loyalty to His Majesty, but also to gain his trust, and it was also the result of figuring out the will of the saint.

Little Red Fish's words sound like there is something else hidden.

"When Lord Yuwen was trapped in Dingzhou, His Majesty gave him a secret decree to slaughter Dingzhou City, and his father-in-law wrote against it, but was rejected by His Majesty and reprimanded. Later, everyone already knows that the father-in-law sent people to wash Dingzhou in blood, and he was infamous for being slaughtered. ”

Xiao Jinyan also heard about this for the first time.

He has discussed with Yuwen Tianlu many times, and Yuwen Tianlu has never raised it, this matter was instructed by Zhu Liye.

"You're chasing the same secret decree back then?"

Little Hongyu nodded and said, "That secret decree was issued in duplicate without going through the cabinet, and it was issued in the form of a middle decree, and the stepfather returned the secret decree after the massacre. This kind of disgraceful thing should have been destroyed, but three years ago, Liu Hanlin, a member of the Hanlin Academy, found the original copy of this secret decree when he was sorting out the archives, and he reported it to his superiors according to the procedure, but he suffered an unjustified disaster. ”

This kind of thing is the privacy of the royal family, if he is smart, he should take the initiative to destroy it, and then pretend that it is nothing. But this Liu Hanlin is too upright, so the end can be imagined.

"Then why did you chase Liangshan County again?" Xiao Jinyan asked.

Xiao Hongyu said, "This Liangshan Zhixian is Liu Hanlin's friend of the same year, and he visited Liu Hanlin before the accident, Liu Hanlin confided in the truth after drinking, and handed him the secret decree for safekeeping. Later, after Liu Hanlin's accident, the capital searched his home, but he did not find this secret decree. It wasn't until a few months ago that the people of the Denmonin Institute found out their whereabouts. ”

Xiao Jinyan roughly guessed the reason.

Two years have passed since this incident, and with the emperor's temperament, he will definitely not let this matter spread, but if he blatantly comes to raid his house, he is afraid of provoking criticism from all over the world. That's why there was the rebellion of the Yellow Lotus Sect Master.

The rebels killed the county lieutenant and searched the whole house. After the results are obtained, the army will be sent to suppress the rebellion, kill all the people involved, and then push it to the Yellow Lotus Sect, and the evidence will be destroyed without knowing it, and no one can guess that this so-called "rebellion" is actually for the cover of his secret affairs.

It is no wonder that the rebels occupied the county seat for several days, but the imperial army never came to ask for it

Because they haven't found the secret decree yet.

Xiao Jinyan asked again, "Who is the Ten Thousand Commanders who fought against you today? I saw that the blades and martial arts they used were all related to Dengwen. ”

Xiao Hongyu said, "Now that Dean Li is imprisoned, Dengwen Academy is hosted by Vice President Vancouver. ”

"Vancouver?" Xiao Jinyan said in shock, "Isn't he dead?"

Little Red Fish sneered, "Have you seen his corpse?"

Xiao Jinyan concluded.

In Suzhou City, Vancouver turned into a headless corpse, which he thought was done by Yuwen Tianlu, and Zao Wou-Ki admitted it at the time, but from beginning to end, he never found Vancouver's head, and this matter became an unsolved case.

Hearing Xiao Hongyu's words, his heart was full of waves.

Vancouver didn't die?

Xiao Hongyu said, "I also know from my father-in-law that Vancouver has always been the eyes and ears of His Majesty in the Dengwen Academy, and over the years, he has secretly trained a team for His Majesty, and it was not until after Dean Li's accident that he officially came forward and took over the Dengwen Academy." ”

No wonder, those black-clothed men used the blades and martial arts of Dengwen Academy.

"The secret team of Dengwen Academy is composed of four battalions, today's person is called 20,000, and he is the deputy commander of Wan's own battalion, and the other three battalions are the Suozi Battalion, the Cylinder Battalion, and the Fengzi Battalion. These people are all from Shaolin, Wudang and other famous families, trained since childhood, and directly joined the four major battalions after leaving the mountain, rarely moving around on the rivers and lakes, and they are also the dark power that the emperor relies on the most. The orthodox leaders of these four battalions are 10,000, 1 tube, 1 rope, and Hongzhong, and it is said that their martial arts have entered the Tongxiang realm. ”

A deputy commander of the 10,000-character battalion has the strength of a half-step through the image realm. The rest of the people are also in the upper realm of Zhixuan, if the four major battalions are all masters of this level, the emperor's power should not be underestimated.

In contrast, the offerings and Jianqing of the Li family in Jinling are only trivial. It is also understandable that on this river and lake, what sects and families can compare to the power in the palace?

The four major battalions, the forbidden army, the Red Cavalry Army, the East and West Second Factory, and the Dengwen Academy, these people are directly under the orders of the emperor, and the number of talents and the high level of martial arts are indeed incalculable. If you count the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the Tiger Cavalry Army, the Shenji Battalion, the Five Army Battalions, and the Three Thousand Battalions that defend the capital, the entire palace is wrapped in different military forces, like an iron bucket array.

What's more, in the capital, there is also the world's largest array.

Shocking.

Xiao Jinyan smiled.

In this world, no one is more afraid of death than the current emperor!

It's just that the names of these four battalions make people feel interesting. The emperor seems to be betting on something.

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Has the secret decree been found?"

Little Redfish shook his head, "No." Otherwise, the people of Beidaying would have entered the city to suppress the bandits. In the past two days, I have infiltrated the county government for several days, and the Yellow Lotus Sect Master has almost searched the mansion, but there is still no gain. ”

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

Nazhi County does not have Huaibi, but what is pregnant is something more dangerous than Heshibi. If it is a jade, he only needs to offer it, and what he has in his hand is the emperor's handle, which is only a dead end. He also didn't expect that a visit to a friend would suffer a catastrophe.

Xiao Jinyan asked, "If you are a county magistrate and have this secret decree in your hand, what will you do in order to save your life?"

Xiao Hongyu analyzed, "First, I will never tell others about this matter easily, the more people who know, the faster they will die." Second, just in case, I'll give it to someone close to me for safekeeping, but I won't tell him what it is. If something happens in the future, you can use this to save your life, at least for a while. ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "It's just that this magistrate didn't expect that the people who attacked the county seat were a group of rabble, rebellious bandits, and it is estimated that they didn't even have a chance to speak, so they died under the chaotic knife of the Yellow Lotus Sect." The so-called sprinkling beans into soldiers should be the masterpiece of the Ten Thousand Commanders. ”

Xiao Jinyan suddenly remembered that the master in the county prison, as the military advisor of the county, should know some inside information.

He decided to break into the county office again.

At this time, Jin Buchang pushed the door and entered, and said triumphantly, "Guess what?"

"How do I know. ”

Jin Bu said, "I was downstairs just now, and I saw the shopkeeper of this restaurant looking panicked, packing up his package and preparing to run away, I saw him sneaky, and went up to interrogate, he refused to say at first, I used some small means, and asked for some useful news." It turns out that the shopkeeper of this restaurant is the brother-in-law of the county magistrate who was killed not long ago!"

He raised the package in his hand, "Look at this!"

The package was opened, and inside was a scroll made of yellow silk, and when the scroll was opened, a bright red seal came into view: the seal of the Ming Emperor.

It was the secret decree in Su Hongyu's mouth.

Jin Bu said, "They went to great lengths, probably just for this thing." Unexpectedly, it didn't take any effort to get it. ”

Xiao Jinyan took it, and it was written on it that it was the secret decree given by Emperor Zhu Liye of the Ming Dynasty to Yuwen Tianlu, which recorded Zhu Houyi's whereabouts in Dingzhou and ordered Yuwen Tianlu to kill the prince of the previous dynasty and slaughter the city in Dingzhou.

Little Red Fish said, "This is exactly what it is." ”

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Now that things have fallen into our hands, what are your plans?"

If it had been two years ago, Little Red Fish would have said, "I'll follow you." ”

At that time, there were not so many constraints between her and Xiao Jinyan, but now the identities of the two are different, and there is more restraint in their words.

Xiao Hongyu said, "My father-in-law's order to me is to find this secret decree and send it to the King of Hidden Yang who is about to arrive in the capital to report on his work, he has negotiated with the City Lord of Zhao. But now that I'm injured and being chased by people from the Wanzi Battalion, I want Xiao Daxia to help me with this. ”

Xiao Jinyan understood Yuwen Tianlu's intentions.

For a long time, he had never figured it out, before meeting Yuwen Tianlu, Zhao Lanjiang vowed to kill him, but after Hidden Yang City, there seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the two. Zhao Lanjiang also did not report it at all

Hatred. And Yuwen Tianlu even gave Zhao Lanjiang the Tiger Talisman of Yixiaotang, the Muyang Organization, and even the Western Army.

After seeing this secret decree, Xiao Jinyan understood the transaction between the two.

The slaughter of the city in Dingzhou was done by Yuwen Tianlu, but the real mastermind behind the scenes is the current emperor Zhu Liye, and this secret decree is the evidence.

Zhao Lanjiang wants revenge.

Yuwen Tianlu wants to borrow Zhao Lanjiang's hand to fight against today's son.

After the battle between Zhao Lanjiang and Xiao Jinyan in Hidden Yang City, the two drew a clear line, Xiao Jinyan didn't want to be entangled in the matter with Hidden Yang City, and now that Xiao Hongyu asked him to carry the secret decree, he hesitated.

If Zhao Lanjiang saw the secret decree, with his character, he would inevitably have a grudge against the imperial court. This is not a good thing for the whole world.

The wrath of the horseman, grabbing the ground with his head.

Zhao Lanjiang is not a puppet, he is the lord of Yinyang City, the king of Yinyang who holds tens of thousands of soldiers, and the emperor of the western frontier of the Ming Dynasty.

After thinking about it, Zhu Liye imprisoned Li Chuntie, and he wanted to save his senior brother, so it was an excellent opportunity to cooperate with Zhao Lanjiang.

Perhaps, as Mr. Xu said, the Supreme Heavenly Dao is about to come, and what the world will be like at that time is still a matter of two words, first save people!

Xiao Jinyan put away the secret decree and said solemnly, "I promise you." ”

Little Redfish smiled.

"Then my task is complete, tomorrow morning, I will leave for Dingzhou, if you have anything or a letter to give to the eldest lady, I can bring it with me." ”

Xiao Jinyan took out a jade-colored jade bracelet, which looked crystal clear, with dark red bloodshots, which was given to him by Li Chengcheng in Jinling, saying that in the future, when he married someone, he would have to give a love token, not too shabby, it seemed that we were stingy.

He handed it to the little red fish and took out another 10,000 taels of silver tickets from his arms.

Xiao Hongyu said with a smile, "What does the silver ticket mean? The eldest lady is in Dingzhou, and the most important thing is money." ”

Xiao Jinyan said seriously, "That's her money, these are my private money." ”

Jin Buchang smiled beside him, "Your method is too earthy, you deserve to be a straight man of steel, if it were me, I would definitely exchange the silver ticket for a stack of love letters." ”

Xiao Jinyan said that it made sense, took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and handed it to Jin Buchang, "Don't rest tonight, work hard." ”

"Why should I be allowed to write?"

Xiao Jinyan raised the silver ticket and said, "Write, there is a silver ticket." Don't write, there are fists. You choose one. ”

Jin Buchang can't wait to slap himself twice, his level of pickling girls is limited, it's my business, I'm too idle to interject anything, but he is not Xiao Jinyan's opponent, so he has to succumb to his obscenity.

"I write, I write. ”

Early the next morning, Little Red Fish got up to say goodbye.

With her skills, as long as she doesn't meet people from the four major battalions, leaving Liangshan County is not a problem. After sending her away, Jin Buchang stepped forward and said, "Xiao Daxia, I didn't close my eyes all night last night." ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "I read that letter, it's really well written, it's very level, thank you for your hard work." ”

"Shouldn't I settle the pen fee?"

Xiao Jinyan was deliberately surprised, "What kind of pen fee?"

Jin Bu was in a hurry, "I said it last night, 10,000 taels!"

"I'm just talking. Eat and drink me along the way, do something for me, and want money?"

Jin Buchang jumped and shouted, "I knew you would be like this, so I kept my hand, you can't think of it, I added a hidden text to the letter, if you don't give money, I'll tell that Aunt Yuwen and find out about it!"

Bang!

Kim Buchang got a kick in the ass.

Xiao Jinyan's three steps turned into two steps, came to him, and was about to make a move, but Jin Buchang begged for mercy, "I didn't add it, I didn't add it!"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Regardless of whether you add it or not, if she knows that you wrote it, you will inevitably be beaten more!"

......

Inside the prison.

The wailing sound was like a terrible ghost, and it spread all over the county office.

Commander Wan sat at the door of the prison, and there was a square table in front of the door, a pot of wine, and a plate of peanuts, and he drank leisurely.

A whipping, a peanut.

A wail, a sip of wine.

The sound of torture was like a sound of heaven to him. He is proficient in torture, and the subordinates he brought are also good at it, so among the four major battalions, his martial arts are not the highest, but he was selected for this mission.

Other commanders do things for Your Majesty, and they do official business, but this matter is Your Majesty's private matter, and it is a private matter.

This is the holy family Zhenglong, this is the emperor's grace.

So he had to get things done.

After a few moments, the wailing faded.

A pot of wine to the bottom.

The subordinate came out of the prison, "Commander, there is a clue." The master said that the thing was in the restaurant of the brother-in-law of Song Zhi County. ”

Commander Wan ate the last peanut, got up and patted the peanut crumbs on his shirt, and said, "Go, this great credit is at your fingertips." Have you been caught?"

The subordinate said, "The brothers went to arrest someone just now, but the man resisted arrest and fled, and was killed by the brothers!"

"Huh?"

Commander Wan's face was longer than that of Lu Gongzi.

The subordinate said: "However, before he dies, let his men go and report to someone." ”

"Did you bring it?"

The subordinate said, "The guy jumped off the building and died!"

Seeing that Commander Wan was about to get angry, his subordinates said, "But before he died, he said a person's name. ”

The Ten Thousand Commanders were finally furious.

Syllable!

With a slap, the subordinate's teeth flew off and his mouth was full of blood.

"What kind of panting with Lao Tzu, if you have something to say, let go if you have a fart!"
