513 rumors

? In September, the sky is always gray, and there is always no sunlight in the morning. Even if the sun occasionally shows half of its face, it will be obscured by gray clouds from time to time.

The September wind never stopped, and the cold wind swept up the mud and sand on the ground, blowing the lanterns hanging outside on the street, and the street vendors couldn't help but shiver.

The wind was whistling, rolling up a piece of paper on the ground, and the paper fluttered and flew and fell.

Wang Zhicai didn't pay attention to what was written on this paper, and sent Li Xuanzhi to Concubine Zheng's palace yesterday, and Concubine Zheng has agreed so far, and it is not good for him to stay there for long.

They were secretly and safely sent back to the prison by him, and no one came to report it for a night, and it was estimated that nothing would happen.

However, this night, he tossed and turned, his eyelids kept beating, his heart was uneasy, and he kept his eyes open and worried until dawn.

It was just dawn, and he really couldn't sleep, so he hurriedly got up and walked in the direction of the palace. A gust of wind slammed into his body, and he subconsciously covered his cheek with his sleeve.

Several children held rock sugar gourds in their hands, gathered in a circle, and sang while running: "Choose the waiter to throw into the well, his daughter throws himself into the well, the Son of Heaven has no choice but to set up a crane, and the surviving pheasant is not complaining." ”

Wang Zhicai vaguely heard what the Son of Heaven, choosing a waiter, he stood and listened carefully again, his heart "chuckled", grabbed a fat boy and asked, "What are you singing and where did you come from?"

The child was stunned for a moment, and said with some fear, "We picked it up on the ground." ”

Wang Zhicai looked at the ground, and several pieces of white paper flew in the air like white doves.

"Whew!" the wind blew down a piece of paper, and landed right at Wang Zhicai's feet. He picked it up, took a quick look, his eyes widened, his heart was stunned, and he crumpled the paper into a ball, stuffed it in his sleeve, and ran towards Yang Lian's mansion.

As soon as he stepped into the Yang Mansion, he shouted loudly, "Lord Yang!

Yang Lian sat in the living room, looking straight ahead.

As soon as Wang Zhicai stepped in, he saw a piece of paper on the table next to Yang Lian, he didn't say a word, he just picked it up and looked at it, it was exactly the same as the one he picked up on the street.

He was a little surprised and said, "It's been a long time, you know!"

Yang Lian sighed and said, "I haven't woken up this morning, and the family took this piece of paper to me in a panic." ”

When Wang Zhicai heard this, he slapped his palm on the table and said angrily: "These guys are really fast, and at this time, all the ages and children in Beijing have already spread all over the city. They've gotten the word about it overnight, what the hell are they trying to do?"

Yang Lian sighed again and said, "Do you still need to say this? On the surface, it is not to accuse the emperor, but in fact it is to attack you and me!"

"I wonder if something happened to them last night?" Wang Zhicai said again.

When Yang Lian heard this, he hurriedly stood up and walked out, saying, "Quick, let's hurry back to the Criminal Department." ”

The two hurriedly went to the prison department of the criminal department, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the five of them sitting in the cell safe and sound.

Yang Lian looked at a bowl of water in front of the cell door, and there was a dead mouse lying on its back next to the water, and he was shocked, and asked Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoyao Hero, did something happen last night?"

Before Xiao Yi could speak, Ouyang Ying glanced at Yang Lian and said casually: "Do you still need to talk about this? Just look at that dead mouse." ”

Ouyang Ying said, her stomach rumbled again, she rubbed her stomach and said, "I don't dare to eat anything now, so I have to wait for you to come." ”

Wang Zhicai was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and explained: "I was worried about something going out yesterday, and I went out after making special arrangements, who knew that something was still going to happennAd2 (fortunately, you didn't drink it.) ”

Ouyang Ying patted her chest again, and said proudly: "That's also this girl's nose spirit, and she can smell anything poisonous, even if it is colorless and odorless." ”

"Ying'er!" glared at Ouyang Ying, "Hugh is rude, the enemy wants to kill us, this is also something that Lord Wang can guess, and he has also warned us in advance." ”

Xiao Yi looked at Wang Zhicai and Yang Lian sweating profusely, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the two adults like this?"

Wang Zhicai just wanted to say, but Yang Lian stopped him again, gave him a look and said, "Don't hurry up and open this prison door, let's go out and talk." ”

Wang Zhicai hurriedly released them and took them to the place where the guards changed their guard and rested on weekdays. Briefly told Xiaoxiao about the nursery rhymes that were spreading everywhere this morning.

Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was better to cut through the mess quickly. So he said: "Now, I think the best way is to hurry up and explain things to the emperor." When the time comes, the emperor will blame him, and things will be difficult to do. However, I don't know what to do about this matter? I have to solve it quickly, otherwise, I don't know how many things will happen. ”

"These things are obviously done by Wei Zhongxian, but there is no evidence. The hidden dragon said through gritted teeth.

"I think Wei Zhongxian wants to kill us and Li Xuanzhi at the same time, if he is killed, he can say in front of the emperor that we killed Li Xuanzhi, and then we were arrested by Sun Yunhe, and committed suicide in fear of crime. Xia Yun analyzed.

"In your sense, we are not dead. What did he mean by spreading rumors today?" Xiong Wei continued to ask, after all, among all of them, Xia Yun knew Wei Zhongxian the best.

Xia Yun was silent for a while, and then said: "In my opinion, we didn't rescue Li Xuanzhi yesterday, Sun Yun and He were also present at the time, and he must have arranged for someone to take a walk." He set the fire, and we saved the people, and when the emperor asked, I don't know if he would say that the fire was set by us. ”

"Poof?" Xiong Wei couldn't help but be taken aback, "What? if he is like this, he will be really shameless to come homenAd3("

"I guess he'll say that. Xia Yun was silent for a while, and smiled coldly, "I will definitely say that." ”

"Isn't this a reversal of black and white?" sighed Xiong.

Xia Yun looked at Xiong Wei and knew that he would do something recklessly, and he really didn't know how to explain something like this to him for a while. In the palace, is it not too rare to turn black and white upside down like this, and to make something out of nothing? It's just that it's not strange.

Xia Yun glanced at the people present coldly, and continued to analyze: "The fire was definitely not put by the emperor, and we didn't tell the emperor about it yesterday. The Hakka followed the emperor all day long, they must know this, maybe Wei Zhongxian also asked the Hakka to say something to the emperor first. ”

"Wei Zhongxian's purpose in doing this will only make the emperor say that Lord Yang and Lord Wang are not doing things well. The misinformation outside is actually to put pressure on the emperor, so that the emperor can think about how he should do this emperor and how the people will evaluate him. In this way, the emperor will transfer the pressure to Lord Yang and Lord Wang. ”

Xiong Wei shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and he didn't even have the strength to sigh.

Yang Lian agreed: "Miss Xia is right. It's really worthy of Young Master Yun!"

Xia Yun smiled slightly, instantly regained her cold expression, and said coldly: "Lord Yang has won the award, Young Master Yun no longer exists, just call me Xia Yun." ”

Xiong Wei shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, and said, "In this way, isn't the matter hopeless, and the emperor will let the Hakka family talk nonsense in front of him?"

"I don't think so. Xia Yun said seriously and deeply.

Everyone stared at her when they heard it.

Xia Yun thought for a while and said, "How to move to Hakka, I can't figure it out yet." However, although I am not very sure about how to deal with the problem of Li Xuanshi, there are still ** points. ”

"What way?" Xiong Wei wanted to say just now, but he didn't ask in time for fear of interrupting Xia Yun's words.

"The emperor's biological mother was killed by Li Xuanzhi. We can get back to that. Xia Yun said.

Xiao Yi looked at Xia Yun suspiciously, knowing that Xia Yun was not an idle person in the palace, so he couldn't help but listen to what Xia Yun had to say first. After listening to the sound for a while, he finally had some eyes, and he asked in time, "What does Yun'er mean?"

Before he finished speaking, Xiong Wei added: "Yun'er means that these rumors on the street are spread by Li Xuanzhi himself. Because Li Xuanzhi was not the emperor's mother, she was afraid that the emperor would treat her badly, so she spread these rumors. ”

"That's right!" Xia Yun nodded, affirmatively, "Not only that, but we can also say that the fire was caused by Li Xuanzhi accidentally knocking down the candlestick." ”

Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't approve of this." The fire burns from the outside to the inside, not from the inside to the outside. The evidence is clearly wrong. ”

"Master, you are really smart and confused. Xia Yun added.

"What do you say?" Xiao Yu didn't understand for a moment.

"Didn't the room where we were trapped burn inside and out? Let's say that Li Xuanzhi started the fire in that room, and the flames drifted through when the wind was strong, so the room where Li Xuanzhi was staying also caught fire. ”

When Xiong Wei heard this, he clapped his hands and applauded, and said again and again: "Yes! ”

Yang Lian hesitated for a moment and said, "But, will the emperor believe it?"

Xia Yun said with certainty: "There is no need to hesitate in this regard. The emperor should not forget this memory so quickly. What's more, before the emperor officially ascended the throne, Li Xuanzhi had been beating and scolding him. He must hold a grudge. ”

"But I don't understand one thing. Since this is all the case, why didn't he immediately help his mother avenge him after becoming emperor?" asked Qianlong again.

"You don't know that. Since the death of his biological mother, the emperor has often been beaten and scolded by Li Xuanzhi, and his personality has become very cowardly, and he does not dare to do anything. I went to carve wood carvings alone, and sometimes I carved them all day. ”

Xia Yun paused again when he said this, and said: "If there is a loyal minister who wants to be like Lord Yang, who has a position in the court, and presides over justice to help the emperor take revenge, I think the emperor will be very happy." ”

"I'm going to tell the emperor. Yang Lian said excitedly, and he paused for a while, "I'll tell the emperor about your affairs together, and clarify it earlier." You are always in the cell of the criminal department, and there are people who worry about your lives for three days, and we are not at ease. ”

"This ......," he hesitated for a moment, "wouldn't it be inappropriate to talk about our affairs at this time?" ”

Xiong Wei knew that Xiao Yi was hesitating in his heart, he didn't speak, just looked at Xia Yun.
