"Although the case of Dali Temple does need to be reviewed by the Criminal Department, our Criminal Department has never interfered with it all along. I came today, I still want to ask Ye Shaoxia for the emperor's grandson. Ye Shaoxia, have you thought it through?"

Du Jiang's words made Ye Fei very puzzled. Emperor Sun Zhou Cheng once told him that he planned to rebel on the day of the emperor's birthday, and invited him to rebel together.

In the end, Ye Fei didn't agree, and there was no action on the side of the East Palace, obviously Zhou Cheng deceived him, and he didn't deserve Zhou Cheng.

He originally thought that this matter would be resolved with the death of the five kings, but today Du Kuan came to him again and mentioned the matter.

"Ye Shaoxia, the last time the emperor lied to you, it was actually a test for you. Thankfully, you didn't let us down. Du Kuan said again, he seemed to see the doubts in Ye Fei's heart.

Ye Fei shook his head, "Go back and tell the emperor that I don't agree with him." ”

"Ye Shaoxia, I advise you to think about it again. Du Kuan leaned into Ye Fei's ear, "Judging from the current situation, it seems that you have no way out." ”

"Why do you say that?" Ye Fei asked.

"Do you know which lord is playing in the court today, exposing the robbery of the official silver of the Wanbang League in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?"

"It can't be you, right?"

Du Kuan twisted the corners of his mouth bitterly, "Ye Shaoxia, are you joking with this official?"

"It's really not you?"

Du Kuan was finally a little unhappy, "Ye Shaoxia, it turns out that in your mind, this official is so unbearable. Let me tell you, it was played by Ning Anhou. ”

"Ning Anhou!" Ye Fei was taken aback. Although he almost didn't know the officials in Bianjing, he had heard of this Ning Anhou before he came to Bianjing.

The head of the Li family in Suzhou, who is also one of the four major families in the south of the Yangtze River, has a younger sister who married a concubine to a family of eunuchs in Bianjing. And the eunuch's family is the Ning'an Hou Mansion.

The Li family participated in the robbery of official silver by the Ten Thousand Gangs League for the second time, and divided more than 2 million taels of silver. According to several gang leaders in the Wanbang League, the news of the robbery of the ships carrying official silver and tribute was obtained from the Li family in Suzhou.

So it is very likely that the Li family in Suzhou got these news through Ning Anhou.

What Ye Fei didn't expect was that Ning Anhou's side would sue the wicked first.

But!

Ye Fei was very puzzled in his heart, when he confessed this matter to the emperor, he also said his suspicions about Ning Anhou at that time.

The emperor obviously promised him that he would not blame the past, but he still asked Dali Temple to investigate; the emperor knew that Ning Anhou might have shared the robbed official silver, but why did he still listen to Ning Anhou's words?

Thinking of this, Ye Fei had an even more terrifying thought in his heart - it was the emperor who wanted to kill him!

Thinking about it at this time, one thing can be determined: when the emperor invited him to the palace to celebrate his birthday, he knew that the people of Northern Liao and the Fire Sect wanted to kill him, and deliberately issued an order to force him to leave the Divine Sword Pavilion, and then used the hands of the masters of Northern Liao to get rid of him.

The so-called monarch wants his ministers to die, and his ministers have to die. Ye Fei knew very well that if the emperor really wanted to kill him, it would be difficult for him and his family to survive, unless they left the Cloud Kingdom and fled somewhere else.

"Ye Shaoxia, what are you thinking?" Du Kuan interrupted Ye Fei's thoughts.

"You say I have no way out, but because you know who is the person who really wants to kill me?" Ye Fei asked.

Du Kuan nodded, "When the emperor sent you an invitation before, he told you that once you have no value, you can't even be a chess piece; Fortunately, the sword god senior took action and saved your life. Now, even the Sword God can't save you, and I'm probably here to invite you for the last time. ”

"But in my opinion, there is no difference between the emperor and the person who wants to kill me. In their eyes, everyone is just a pawn. ”

"He won't kill you, don't worry," Du Kuan said, "with him, you will always be valuable." ”

"Why?"

"Because you are as young and talented as me, and Xiao Yi is a young talent, you are all indispensable, indispensable, chess pieces when he develops his ambitions in the future. Du Kuan explained.

Du Kuan said, and a sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

Seeing Du Kuan's anxious face, Ye Fei responded, "When will you do it?"

Du Kuan smiled with satisfaction, "Don't worry, it's a top priority, I'll help you drag it first." ”

Immediately afterwards, Sun He, the young secretary of Dali Temple, came in with a man in his forties with thick eyebrows and big eyes, this person was Feng Yuan, the secretary of Dali Temple.

"Lord Du, it's really a rare guest. Feng Yuan said to Du Kuan.

Du Kuan waved at Feng Yuan and responded, "Lord Feng, the lower officials came to assist in the investigation of this case on the orders of Lord Shangshu. ”

"Lu Shangshu has doubts about our Dali Temple's ability to solve cases?" Feng Yuan asked.

"Back to Lord Feng, Lu Shangshu said that this case is not trivial, and it also involves the rivers and lakes and green forests, and it is necessary for the officials to assist and reduce unnecessary red tape as appropriate, so that your temple can end the case as soon as possible. Du Kuan responded.

Feng Yuan looked at Du Kuan with a faint gaze, and only said after a while: "In this case, with the assistance of Lord Du, I think this case will definitely be concluded this morning." Lord Gongsun, you can continue to try the case. ”

"My lord, this. Gongsun He on the side was quite surprised.

"Whatever should be tried, how it should be tried. ”

"But. Gongsun He looked embarrassed.

"If Lord Gongsun has no clue for a while, this official is willing to temporarily take over the work of dogs and horses. Du Kuan said.

Gongsun He's face turned gloomy, and then he went to the judgment table and sat down. After patting the startled wood lightly, he asked, "The surname Ye, can you plead guilty?"

"My lord, what is the crime of the grass people?"

"You Wanbang Alliance pretended to be thieves, and robbed official silver and tribute ships many times, as the leader of the alliance, your sin is unforgivable. ”

"Back to my lord, the grass people only became the leader of the alliance a few months ago, and before that, they were not members of the Wanbang Alliance. If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate. As for why the grass people became the leader of the alliance, anyway, the grass people's words are not credible, and the adults still have to investigate it themselves. Ye Fei responded.

"The surname Ye, it seems that you will not confess your guilt until it is confirmed. Du Kuan suddenly shouted, emotional.

Gongsun He was taken aback, and turned his head to look at Du Kuan.

"In that case, our Criminal Department and Dali Temple will send someone to investigate this matter, and once the evidence is conclusive, see how you still quibble!" Du Kuan continued, and then turned to Feng Yuan on the side, "Lord Feng, then send someone to Luoyang to investigate, and see if what this surnamed Ye said is true or false." ”

"Lord Du, you're right," Feng Yuan nodded, "It's just that Your Majesty has privately confessed to this official, and there is no need for evidence in this case, as long as this person draws a confession." ”

"Is it really what Your Majesty said?"

"If Lord Du doesn't believe it, then immediately enter the palace with this official to face the saint. ”
