Gu Yuecong told the emperor what he said to him, as well as his promise to pay tribute, and finally said: "The emperor's move is to save the prince, so even if there is this account book now, the prince cannot be released from prison." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Bai Miaofeng didn't realize when he heard the beads of sweat dripping on the table, Gu Yuecong finished speaking, he looked at the candle flame for a long time before he said: "He wants to rebel? wronged the prince, it turned out to be just a step in this rebellion!" and raised his head and said: "The emperor has passed down the edict, it seems that this tribute is impossible to fly." ”

Gu Yue Cong knew that Bai Miaofeng had been in charge of escorting the moon tribute in recent years, so he immediately got up, bowed deeply to Bai Miaofeng and said: "Escorting the imperial tribute, Cong'er doesn't know anything, and I hope that Uncle Bai will help." ”

Bai Miaofeng hurriedly helped him up and said, "Your matter, Uncle Bai is duty-bound, and this matter is related to the prince, how can I be a little bit?"

Gu Yuecong was overjoyed. The two immediately discussed the plan to pay tribute, and Bai Miaofeng said: "In today's situation, the enemy is strong and I am weak, we must inform Sect Master Ouyang as soon as possible and ask him to come up with a surprise plan." Gu Yue Cong said: "We were all driven out by the sect leader, but I am afraid that the sect leader will not lend a hand." Bai Miaofeng glanced at him and said, "Your business, the sect leader will definitely go all out." Gu Yuecong listened to his resolute tone, and he couldn't be ignored, but he had the same tone as the emperor, and secretly wondered. But when he thought of having the sect leader help him pay tribute, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "If the sect leader is willing to help, it would be great." ”

After discussing for a while, although the two still had no good plan, they finally had a direction, and they gradually gained confidence in their hearts. Talking about it, gradually talking about the general trend of the world, Gu Yuecong said: "Now hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers are in the hands of Liu Leiao, to get rid of him, I am afraid that it is far from being as simple as worshipping the moon tribute." ”

Bai Miaofeng sighed and said: "The so-called self-dedication is loyalty, loyalty to others, just do your best, you and I are weak, there is only so much we can do." By the way, how would you and the county lord know that I was trapped by someone from the Internal Affairs Bureau?"

Gu Yuecong said: "General Qi told the old man to return to his hometown, General Ha suddenly defected, Long Er and I both felt that there was a big problem here, I was going to go to the Jingshifang to find out, who knew that there was no clue, but I met someone from the Internal Affairs Office to arrest the assassin halfway, but I didn't expect the assassin to be Uncle Bai. ”

Bai Miaofeng nodded and said, "The Ha family tragedy, I have found some clues. ”

Gu Yuecong hurriedly asked: "What clues?" He knew that this matter was related to who the power of hundreds of thousands of troops would fall into, and if he could find out why General Ha had defected, there might be another turnaround, this matter seemed to be quiet and insignificant, but it was actually several times more important than escorting the moon tribute. Bai Miaofeng said: "General Ha and the prince have been friends of life and death for decades, which is a well-known thing in the capital. Although I have not been able to enter the palace in the past few days, I learned from a few close friends that at the time of the incident, except for General Ha, who was training in Xuanwumen, and survived, none of the 127 people of the Ha family and their family servants were spared. As soon as this incident broke out, it shook the government and the opposition, and the emperor immediately issued an order to ask Gonggong Liu to thoroughly investigate the matter as soon as possible. ”

When Gu Yuecong heard the words "Gonggong Liu", he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What happened?"

Bai Miaofeng said: "Gonggong Liu sent his four eunuchs to the General's Mansion to investigate, so that Hu Tianyu found the prince's wrench finger and two seriously burned guards on the spot of the disaster. ”

Gu Yuecong said: "Where are these two guards now?" Bai Miaofeng said: "The two guards died after speaking, and no one knows if they said this." After listening to the report of the people of the Internal Affairs Office, General Ha absolutely did not believe that the prince would do such a thing, no matter what the people of the Internal Affairs Office said, he would scold the people who framed the prince and scolded him bloody, according to the law of this dynasty, the case of arson and murder of the prince only has physical evidence, the human evidence is dead, the evidence is insufficient, and the prince is imprisoned in the prison pending trial. ”

Gu Yuecong said: "General Ha attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and he is not confused at all. ”

Bai Miaofeng continued: "Who knew that in the evening, General Ha suddenly changed his tone, and insisted that it was the prince who killed his family, and he also personally accused the prince of collecting the moon tribute, looting the people, colluding with the Bloodthirsty Sect of the Wulin Demon Sect, burning and looting everywhere, with the intention of causing a civil uprising and rebellion. General Ha also said that he refused to join the conspiracy of the prince because he discovered it, so the prince held a grudge and set fire to his whole family. In this way, the human and material evidence are all there, the prince not only committed the crime of murder, but also the suspicion of rebellion, the emperor was furious, and ordered the prince to be put into the prison and beheaded after the autumn. A few days ago, the ministers of the DPRK and China decided that the prince and his family should be executed immediately, and at this time it was Liu Leiao who pleaded with the emperor, and the emperor agreed to behead the prince's family after the autumn. ”

Gu Yuecong heard that his Adam's apple trembled, and he said for a while: "General Ha suddenly changed his words, there must be a reason for this, but I don't know what it is?"

Bai Miaofeng shook his head, he didn't know, Gu Yuecong said again: "Liu Lei is proud to get the moon tribute, as soon as the eighth prince is imprisoned, this chess piece is useless, why does he have to intercede for the prince?"

Bai Miaofeng said: "Liu Lei is scheming, he saved the eighth prince, I think it was to cover up his ambition to rebel. ”

Gu Yuecong said: "I have also thought about this, but I always feel that there is another reason. ”

Speaking of which, both of them felt that there were two major matters in front of them, one was how to escort the Yuegong tribute, and the other was to find out why General Ha suddenly defected. Seeing that the dawn had dawned in the east, Bai Miaofeng yawned and said, "Cong'er, before dawn, go and rest for a while." ”

Seeing that Bai Miaofeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Yuecong immediately got up and said, "You can also sleep for a while." ”

Bai Miaofeng leaned back on the chair and said, "I'm not sleepy, just take a nap." ”
