The sky was gloomy for a long time, and finally I couldn't help but drop large raindrops on the earth, and then they fell in a line, splashing countless puddles on the ground.

In the inner room of Shang Qingyuan, the stove was slowly steaming, the incense burner was burning soothing herbs, Ouyang Ze was lying on the soft collapse and fell asleep, his face was pale, Hai Yi sat on the edge of the bed, holding the bloodstained official document in his hand, and sighed deeply.

Ming Su took the pulse and said that Ouyang Ze was in a hurry to attack his heart and cause his blood to go backwards, so Hai Yi found this official document on Ouyang Ze's bookcase, as well as the objects on Shen Zhiping and Li Zifeng, and he had already sent people to secretly go to Wei'an City to inquire about the specific news.

But this was only the last expectation in his heart, and he recognized that this official document was passed from above, and there would be no fakes. The hall master of Qingsong Hall, as well as Li Zifeng, was he really buried in the sea of fire like this? There was a slight heat around his eyes.

At this time, Mo Xuan entered the house with the boiled decoction, the decoction was hot, curling and growing, the medicine was fragrant, Mo Xuan walked slowly to the bed, and carefully handed over the medicine bowl, "Elder, the medicine in charge is ready." ”

Hai Yi took the medicine bowl, the porcelain spoon kept scooping, the medicinal soup rippled in the bowl, Hai Yi looked at the object that was put aside, "Don't talk about this matter to the outside world yet, especially Jing Zhuxuan's side, you can hide it!"

Mo Xuan lowered his head slightly, "Elder rest assured, disciple understands." ”

"What can't the old man know?" said an old but majestic voice from the door.

The two paused slightly, Hai Yi put down the medicine bowl, quickly stood up to meet him, and bowed, "Master." ”

"Old hosts. Seeing this, Mo Xuan quietly withdrew from the room.

Ouyang Tian walked to the side of the bed and sat down, gave Ouyang Ze a pulse, and was a little relieved, Ouyang Tian has always been the most well-informed about the news of Wei'an City, and the news he got was the fire of the Hengxiang Inn in Wei'an City, and the two Shen Zhiping, Li Zifeng and Mu Linge, who were secretly investigating, were buried in the fire, and they also saved the children of the family who were almost poisoned by the Lingye Palace, and Bai Yu, one of the black and white poisons, was also buried in the fire.

After getting the news, Ouyang Tian almost dropped a teacup, but thinking that there was no evidence to prove that they were really dead, he still had some hope, but the next moment, when he heard that Ouyang Ze was in a hurry and vomited blood, he thought that someone must have sent back the object that could prove the identity of the deceased.

Ouyang Ze sighed heavily, picked up the medicine bowl, and fed Ouyang Ze spoonful by spoon. Hai Yi stood aside, frowning, "Master, the disciple has already sent someone to investigate, and it won't be long before there will be definite news." ”

Ouyang Tian looked at the objects that were put aside to prove his identity, and sighed again, his tone also added a little old, "The Ling Ye Palace rebels against the party and wantonly set fire to the feet of the Son of Heaven at any cost. Presumably, whose interests they touched, this imperial city is also unstable. ”

Hai Yi frowned, "The disciple will send more people to investigate these days." On the side of Qingsong Hall, the disciple also sent Wenxian over, and if necessary, the disciple would also take a trip. ”

Ouyang Tian put down the empty medicine bowl, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Ouyang Ze's mouth, sighed heavily, and two lines of old tears flowed unconsciously, "Wei'an City's side will secretly probe first, and everything in the sect will continue, you have to pay more attention to the head of the sect in the past two days, don't let him make impulsive moves." ”

"Master rest assured, disciple understands. ”

Xu Zining has been working in the outer hall for a long time, and when he heard Ouyang Ze vomiting blood and fainting, and faintly heard what Haiyi and Mingsu said, he realized that the senior brother had an accident in Wei'an City, and it turned out that the uneasiness of that night was not groundless. Two lines of tears flowed unconsciously, he didn't want to believe that Li Zifeng died like this, if he had the opportunity, he must go to Wei'an City in person.

However, what should Qingyun do? Xu Zining sighed helplessly......

The Prime Minister's Mansion of Wei'an City

The city of Wei'an is still a beautiful scenery of wind and sunshine, it seems that it has not been affected by the fire that night, the garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sun is beautiful, the pavilions and pavilions, in the early spring, the grass and trees have been drilled out of the yellow-green buds one after another, the blue sky and white clouds, the breeze is not cold.

Wan Ziyu was sitting in the study, looking at the scenery outside through the window, the tea on the table was steaming, exuding bursts of fragrance. Such a good scene, Wan Ziyu looked at it and sighed slightly.

At this time, the housekeeper Wan Lin knocked on the door, and after getting the answer, he walked in slowly, holding a dessert in his hand, raised his eyes to see that his master's mood was not too high, and asked with concern, "Master, the weather outside is good, why don't you go out with you?"

Wan Ziyu shook the music, picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, and put it down again, "I thought, if the rebel party of the Lingye Palace succeeds that night, can I still see this spring scene now." ”

Wan Lin lowered his head silently, the afternoon sun was enough, shining into the study through the window, slightly flashing, "Hengshan Sect and Mu Lin Pavilion, has it been raining for days?"

Wan Lin opened his mouth and hesitated, and said, "This, the old slave doesn't know. ”

Wan Ziyu stroked his gray beard, "It's cold in high places." Wan Ziyu, the prime minister in a high position, rarely sighed like today, "You say, are we too selfish to do this?"

Wan Lin Sichen replied for a while, "If you hadn't sent someone to protect them in time, they would have already been buried in the fire, and you saved their lives." If the killers of the Lingye Palace found out that they were still alive, they would inevitably not have the intention of assassinating, so it was also the best way to let them be 'dead' now. ”

The 'they' in Wan Lin's mouth are Shen Zhiping, Li Zifeng, Shen Hongfei and Lingxi, who have been buried in the sea of fire in the eyes of the outside world, they are not dead, but they are hidden by Wan Ziyu.

It turned out that before the accident at the Hengxiang Inn that day, Wan Ziyu sent Xiao Yun, a powerful secret guard master, to secretly track and protect, and then Xiao Yun entered the Hengxiang Inn in advance, and his subordinates noticed that there were unknown black-clothed people who sprinkled fire oil in the backyard and hall, and guessed that they might be the killers of the Lingye Palace, so Xiao Yun secretly reported the matter to Wan Ziyu.

Wan Ziyu thought quietly, and decided that with Li Zifeng's ability, he would not notice anything unusual, so he ordered Xiao Yun to continue to observe, the beauty pageant was held as scheduled, and an assassination of the children of the family and foreign merchants began.

It's just that what Xiao Yun didn't expect was that there would be two other killers who assassinated Li Zifeng and his party. Seeing that the fire was ignited, all four of them were injured, and Li Zifeng's eyes seemed to have a problem, and at the moment before the beams of the house were completely burned, he brought someone to meet them, and sent someone to secretly take them back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He turned back again, found the four corpses of the killers of the Lingye Palace who had been intercepted and killed, put the objects he touched from the four people on them, changed their clothes, threw them into the fire and pretended to be Li Zifeng and the four, and after the incident, the officers and soldiers outside came.

Therefore, the twenty-two corpses found by Wang Yi, the commander of the prison gate army, when he inspected the scene that night, were all killed by the Lingye Palace, because four of the corpses carried the belongings of Li Zifeng and others, it was logical that they were also buried in the fire.

Wan Ziyu is also selfish in doing this, since he heard that Li Zifeng saved the crown prince from the Lingye Palace killer twice, he has a good impression of him. When Li Zifeng was framed for colluding with Lingye Palace four years ago, he was not affected by the outside world and always maintained a neutral attitude.

When he learned that all the families were forced to make a choice by Ouyang Ze under the leadership of Zhou Yixuan, he also sent a letter to Ouyang Ze, and the stakes were all explained, indirectly protecting Li Zifeng.

"Master?" Wan Lin saw that Wan Ziyu had been looking out of the window, and called softly.

Wan Ziyu retracted his gaze, looked down at the stack of official documents on the bookcase, and his expression gradually became solemn, "How are the four of them?"

Wan Lin replied truthfully, "Although the other three have external injuries, they are not very strict and have woken up at present, and the old slave has already explained the reason. It's just that Li Zifeng was seriously injured and is still in a coma, and his eyes don't seem to be very good because he has been attacked by targeted poisons. ”

Wan Ziyu raised his eyebrows, "Please ask the best doctor, you must cure him." ”

"The old slave understands. ”
