The third princess really fell down, and the bright red blood spilled all over the ground, which was set off by the pure white snow beside the road, making it even more shocking.

A crisp sound of "bang bang" woke up the stunned crowd.It was a guard who dropped the knife with his hand, and his knife was still stained with blood. Obviously, it was the one who really dropped the knife on the third princess before.It was precisely because of this that when the blood from above faded, he finally couldn't help but panic when he looked at the three princesses who had died tragically in front of him.And his panic quickly infected the people around him, and all the guards turned pale.

Xie Yuan's complexion was also ugly. Seeing this, Meng Fei who hurried over finally couldn't help asking: "Master, what should we do now?"

Killing the princess is clearly a sign of rebellion.Especially now that Emperor Rong and Xie Yuan have separated, this is a sensitive time.If the news really got out, it would be a big excuse, and no one would remember Xie Yuan's contribution to the establishment of Rongguo.

Xie Yuan had a serious face, and asked Meng Fei: "Where are the guards of Ah Yanna?"

After hearing the question, Meng Fei immediately replied: "I took it down, and now they are tied up in the yard."

Xie Yuan heard the words and ordered lightly: "Kill it." Then he glanced at the third princess who was dying, and continued: "Today, an assassin broke into the prime minister's mansion, and the princess and the guard were unfortunately killed. I will enter the palace to plead guilty to Your Majesty."

His tone was calm, and while speaking, his eyes swept over the faces of the guards, as if he was announcing something, and he seemed to be observing something.And the faces that entered the target, whether fearful, frightened, or cruel, were all caught by him one by one.

After giving the order, Xie Yuan turned around and left: "Clean up this place."

The guards looked at Xie Yuan's back, then at the tragic death of the third princess, their bodies trembled unconsciously, not knowing what to do.But when Xie Yuan was gone, facing this situation, they still had no choice but to obediently deal with the aftermath.And when one person made a move, the rest of them naturally followed suit, just like the first knife that fell on the third princess before, they were all setting an example.

Xie Yuan and Meng Fei walked away, but Meng Fei was obviously worried: "My lord, just now people talk a lot, and the commotion is not small. I'm afraid it's hard to hide the news." After a pause, he said: "There is still , the princess died so tragically, if Emperor Rong wants to investigate..."

As far as the death of the third princess is concerned, it is impossible to win people's trust by saying that it was done by an assassin.After all, assassins pay attention to one-hit kills, and no one would spend time hacking dozens or even hundreds of knives. The third princess knew that she had fought many people before she died.

This is probably the reason why the three princesses have to fight to the end.She didn't want to die without knowing why, so she left her scarred corpse as the best weapon to testify against Xie Yuan.

How could Xie Yuan not understand this?It is precisely because he understands that he becomes more and more annoyed.

But obviously, it is not easy for Xie Yuan to be led by the nose to get to where he is today.Since he dared to give the order, he had of course thought of a plan, and immediately said: "Go to the housekeeper and tell the mansion that an assassin has entered the mansion today. The gate of the mansion is closed and don't open it for now. You quietly deal with the guards today, and the people in the mansion will also be killed." Check to see if anyone has seen anything."

These are not difficult, Xie Yuan has always run the family very strictly, even Emperor Rong's nails cannot be inserted in the house.He is eloquent in the mansion, he can do anything easily, no one can play tricks under his nose!

Of course, how the three princesses learned of the secret still needs to be investigated. Before finding out, it is only necessary to close the mansion.

Meng Fei agreed and waited for Xie Yuan to continue to order.

Sure enough, Xie Yuan went on to say: "As for Ayanna, just scratch her face and throw it in a mass grave. Then go find a female corpse of a similar size, put on her clothes, and ruin her face. "

He said it lightly, but Meng Fei will do everything best for him when he is ordered.Seeing that he didn't have any other orders, Meng Fei took his leave, stepped back first, and went to do what he ordered one by one.

After Xie Yuan waited for him to leave, he raised his head to look at the gloomy sky, then looked down at the blood stains on his torn sleeves and robe feet, his condensed face did not show any emotion.

In the end, he flicked his sleeves and went back to change clothes.

Rongguo was established by Xie Yuan with the support of Emperor Rong, even though his development was restricted due to his status, and now he is jealous of Emperor Rong.But for many years, his power has also taken root in Rongguo's government and the public, and it will not be damaged immediately because of this.

Today, he wants to close the mansion to deal with the aftermath. This is still on his own territory, how can he not do it well?

In the evening, Meng Fei came back to order, and all the people in the Three Princesses' courtyard were killed, and all the guards who participated in the killing of the Three Princesses were also dealt with.As for the other people in the mansion, after a careful investigation, it was found that only two servants happened to be nearby at that time, holding the principle that they would rather kill the wrong than let them go, regardless of whether they saw anything or not, they were dealt with in the same way.

As for the body of the third princess, it was natural to deal with it first.And a female corpse similar in size to the third princess has also been found, and her appearance was ruined with poison. Find fault.And because Emperor Rong was afraid of Xie Yuan's understanding, he would not dare to easily make things big.

Everything seemed to be fine, Xie Yuan finally relaxed after hearing Meng Fei's report, which had been gloomy for a whole day.He held the teacup in one hand and turned it gently, then asked Meng Fei: "Who passed the news to the third princess, and what evidence convinced her, have you found it?"

Meng Fei did a good job in dealing with the aftermath before, but when Xie Yuan asked about this, his brows frowned slightly, and then he knelt down on one knee and said, "I haven't found out yet, please be punished by the Lord."

Xie Yuan paused when he heard this.What happened today caught him off guard again and made him feel extremely bad.If other people didn't do what he ordered, he would definitely have a fit, but Meng Fei had been with him for many years and was loyal, so he didn't say anything in the end, he just said: "Continue to investigate and find out this matter as soon as possible."

Meng Fei complied, and naturally continued to step up his investigation, and this day of panic was finally over.

Xie Yuan entered the palace the next day to report the news of the assassination of the third princess to Emperor Rong.When he was going out, he passed by the place where the third princess died yesterday, without even raising his eyelids, he stepped over it without changing his face.

Of course, at this moment, there was no blood all over the ground, nor the dead body of the third princess.The ground was covered with heavy snow overnight, and the snow was swept away by servants in the morning. The road surface was clean, and there was no trace of yesterday...

After entering the palace, Xie Yuan saw Emperor Rong, and frankly reported the news of the assassination of the three princesses and pleaded guilty at the same time.

Emperor Rong was furious when he found out, but he never doubted that it was Xie Yuan who did it.After all, everyone knows the sensitivity in troubled times, and with Xie Yuan's intelligence, he naturally knows how to forbear when he should forbear.

Having known each other for twenty years, Emperor Rong also knew Xie Yuan, and Xie Yuan also knew Emperor Rong.So under Xie Yuan's guidance, Emperor Rong quickly turned his suspicions to Liang Guo in the south, and even ignored the death of the third princess itself.

Divorce plan, with the death of the three princesses, to separate the hearts of the monarch and ministers - Xie Yuan explained to Emperor Rong in this way.

Although this is not far from the truth, there are other secrets and even doubtful points in it.But relying on his understanding of Emperor Rong, Xie Yuan managed to fool the other party with such rhetoric.

A little later, Xie Yuan calmly left the palace without accepting even half of the punishment.Even because of concerns about Liang Guo's estrangement, Emperor Rong's attitude towards Xie Yuan even improved a little... This is probably because of "too much to go too far".

Sitting on the carriage back home, Xie Yuan sipped tea leisurely, eyes full of disdain.

One night is enough for him to understand a lot.Even though such an accident happened, although there was no trace, it was still different from the methods used by Emperor Liang before. It can be seen that after he fell ill, others did not want to give up halfway, and took over halfway to facilitate this incident.It's just that there was not one person who planned the matter before and after, and the capitals of the two countries are far apart, and the news was delayed and arranged poorly, which led to the current situation.

Xie Yuan thought for a while, and first fixed his suspicion on the crown prince, planning in his heart to remove the crown prince as soon as Emperor Liang died.But at the moment, the opponent's omissions in the layout gave him an opportunity. I don't know if the sick and weak prince will vomit blood in anger after knowing this?

Thinking about that scene, Xie Yuan's mood improved a lot.

But this kind of good mood didn't last long. As soon as Xie Yuan returned to the mansion, Meng Fei came to report: "The subordinates have asked people to check, and there are no omissions in the mansion, and no outsiders have seen the princess when they entered the mansion. Only yesterday morning, the princess came out. I met General Zuo's wife at the mansion, and the two exchanged a few words, and the princess sent someone to invite the lord not long after returning to the mansion."

Rongguo was newly established, and the country was established by Rongdi in the grassland. The official system is much different from that in the Central Plains.There are two generals on the left and right in the middle of the court, who share the military power and control most of Rongguo's troops, and then the tribal leaders share the control of the tribal private soldiers.And as the country was established, the power of the latter was also being swallowed up by the former. As long as we waited a few more years, the private soldiers in the hands of the tribal leaders would no longer be able to make a difference.

It can be seen from this that the powers of the two generals are important.Of course, Emperor Rong would not let such an official position be controlled by outsiders, so the two generals are loyal, only the right general has a little friendship with Xie Yuan, and the left general is a complete imperial party!

And now, General Zuo is involved in the matter of the three princesses, what does it mean?

Things seemed to get complicated all of a sudden.Even if Xie Yuan knew, this might just be a trick set up by his opponent to lure him into hostility with General Zuo.But even if it was only possible, he couldn't afford to take the risk.

The mind that had been relaxed just now became tense again, Xie Yuan raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and told Meng Fei: "Check again, be sure to check out every word of the conversation between the two that day." After thinking for a while, he said : "Let people pay attention to the general's mansion, and see if there is anything unusual about General Zuo and the others."

Meng Fei agreed, and went to work again. In the afternoon, he found out all the conversations between the three princesses and the wife of General Zuo the day before.

The conversation between the two was written on paper and presented to Xie Yuan. Xie Yuan read it carefully three times and did not notice anything unusual.But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the person sent to monitor the general's mansion sent back news that General Zuo had left the city himself and went to the mass grave!
