"Okay!" Du Kuan nodded, "Then Lord Feng, you and I will enter the palace to face the saint." ”

Feng Yuan's eyes were shining, he thought that moving out of the emperor would deter Du Kuan, but he didn't expect Du Kuan to be completely unmoved, but it put him in a dilemma.

If he really entered the palace with Du Kuan at this time, once the matter spread, he would be able to pay it back.

In Bianjing City, the news leaked faster than the rumors, Ye Fei only fought for the country not long ago to defeat the young master of Northern Liao, if everyone knows that the emperor wants to kill Ye Fei, how does this make everyone think of the emperor?

After the early dynasty, the emperor explained to him: this matter must be done neatly, let alone let others find out that he wanted to get rid of Ye Fei.

Seeing that Feng Yuan was in a dilemma, Du Kuan urged: "Lord Feng, let's go." ”

Feng Yuan snorted angrily, did not respond to Du Kuan, but said to Gongsun He on the side: "With Lord Du's assistance in handling the case, I think this case can be closed." ”

With that, Feng Yuan left. Gongsun He looked at Feng Yuan's distant back in astonishment, and was suddenly a little at a loss.

"Gongsun-sama, let's continue. Du Kuan smiled and said to Gongsun He.

"This," Gongsun He was stunned, and said after a long time, "Lord Du is right, when someone is sent to Luoyang to collect evidence and investigate to see if what this surnamed Ye said is true or false, this official will go to this matter." ”

After that, Gongsun He also left, leaving only Ye Fei and Du Kuan.

"Master Du, are you really not afraid of offending Your Majesty?" Ye Fei asked.

"Of course I'm afraid, but they're more afraid than the officials. Du Kuan said, "Ye Shaoxia, this official can only delay some time for you for the time being." ”

Ye Fei clenched his fists and said "Thank you".

"Ye Shaoxia, what are you polite to this official, you and I are tea friends. In the future, after you wash away your grievances, the official will invite you to eat a bun again. Du Kuan said.

After talking to Ye Fei for a while, Du Kuan left Dali Temple, and the emperor's grandson Zhou Cheng was still waiting for Ye Fei's reply.

Not long after Du Kuan left, Li Ruotao, the master of the Secret Pavilion, came to Dali Temple, and Feng Yuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, personally received him.

"Lord Feng, Your Majesty asked me to ask you, has the surname Ye confessed?" Li Ruotao asked.

Feng Yuan shook his head, "I was about to torture him to extract a confession, but I was stopped by Lang Zhong of the Criminal Department. ”

"Du Kuan?" Li Ruotao narrowed his eyes, "It seems that the emperor's grandson wants to protect the surname Ye." ”

"Imperial grandson?" Feng Yuan squinted his eyes slightly, "Pavilion Master Li, is this true?"

Li Ruotao immediately shook his head, "Lord Feng, it's just my guess, don't take it seriously." Don't worry, I'll go and inform Your Majesty of this matter at once. "And Lord Feng, on your side, you still have to think about any way to make this painting surnamed Ye confess. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter, Lord Feng, it is related to your future career, and I hope you will not miss such a great opportunity. ”

"Pavilion Master Li, don't worry, Xia Guan will never let His Majesty down. Feng Yuan said.

"That's good. ”

After that, Li Ruotao went to the prison, insisted that no one should accompany him, and went to meet Ye Fei alone.

Feng Yuan immediately called Gongsun He and whispered: "Tell me to go down, treat that Ye Shaoxia well, eat four meals a day, and serve good wine and meat." ”

"This?" Gongsun He was very puzzled, "Lord Feng, the lower officials don't understand, Your Majesty doesn't want you to force the confession of the surnamed Ye as soon as possible, and also sent the master of the Secret Pavilion Li Ruotao to urge, why do you still entertain the good student surnamed Ye?"

Feng Yuan smiled slightly, "Just now, Pavilion Master Li inadvertently revealed something to the official, it was the emperor who wanted to keep the surname Ye, so he sent Du Kuan to our Dali Temple." ”

"Emperor's grandson, but what if it's the emperor's grandson?"

"Stupid!" Feng Yuan scolded, "Now that the five kings and the seven kings are gone, only the crown prince is left, and the crown prince is only the emperor and grandson under his knees." ”

"Oh," Gongsun He suddenly realized, "Xiaguan understands! Lord Feng has a far-reaching consideration, and Xiaguan is ashamed of himself. In this way, Master Du is really from the East Palace?"

"Of course! The official has already heard of this, and every time the emperor and grandson leave the palace, Du Kuan will definitely accompany him. It's just that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Yang Tuo, the master of the Divine Sword Pavilion, have a very good personal relationship, and the person surnamed Ye is said to be Yang Tuo's future son-in-law, so the official thinks that Du Kuan came to Dali Temple today to come forward for the Shangshu of the Criminal Department. The more Feng Yuan spoke, the more proud he became, and he couldn't help but be complacent in his heart because he was good at judging the situation.

"But my lord, what if His Majesty is to blame?"

"What are you afraid of, just pass it on to Lord Du and the Criminal Department. “

...

In the heavenly prison, Ye Fei once again saw Li Ruotao, the master of the Secret Pavilion.

"Pavilion Master Li, meet again," Ye Fei glared at Li Ruotao and said, "It seems that every time I see Pavilion Master Li, nothing good will happen." ”

The corners of Li Ruotao's mouth raised slightly, "Maybe Li and Ye Shaoxia don't agree." Ye Shaoxia, I came to you today to get something back. ”

"Is this it?" Ye Shaoxia took out the token of the secret pavilion from his arms and handed it to Li Ruotao.

"Your Majesty is going to get rid of me immediately after using my chess piece, Your Majesty is really ruthless. Ye Fei said in an emotional tone.

"Bold, dare to talk about the Son of Heaven!" Li Ruotao scolded sharply.

Ye Fei smiled coldly, "Your Majesty wants to kill me, I can't even complain!"

"You smash people and rob official silver and tribute, and you should be punished for your crimes!"

Li Ruotao said as he wanted to take the secret pavilion token away from Ye Fei's hand. However, even though he tried his best, the token was firmly pinched in Ye Fei's hand.

"Return the token, this is a holy decree, if you dare to disobey, you will be beheaded all over the house!"

"Pavilion Master Li, have you forgotten that when His Majesty handed over this token to His Majesty, he had told him a thousand times that this token should be returned to him in person, isn't this a holy decree?" Ye Fei asked.

"You're right, Your Majesty did have this intention at the beginning, but today Your Majesty changed his mind and sent me a message to retrieve the token. ”

"Pavilion Master Li, there is no basis for what you say, unless Your Majesty comes to see you in person, I will not hand over this token. ”

"The surname Ye, I advise you to think clearly! Your Majesty only needs your life, it is not like killing all your family members. But if you commit such disobedience again, you will not be the only one who will die. Li Ruotao directly pointed out to Ye Fei.

Ye Fei smiled bitterly, and then put the token into his arms, "I still mean that, unless Your Majesty comes to me in person to ask me to get it back, I will not return this token." ”

"You!" Li Ruotao turned pale with anger, "Okay, the surname is Ye, this is what you asked for." ”

After that, Li Ruotao angrily walked out of the prison of the secret pavilion.

After Li Ruotao left, Ye Fei walked to a wall and punched the wall. The current situation is precarious for him.
