i am afraid

Li Ren fell to his knees on the ground, his seven orifices were bleeding, a flagon was poured by his feet, and on the table was a written suicide note.

A-Dong stepped forward, but instead of approaching the corpse, he picked up the wine jug that had fallen on the ground, and smelled it carefully. It was indeed the smell of poison in the air. It was highly poisonous, and the smell was very strong. Li Ren It is impossible to drink it unconsciously. A-Dong opened the envelope written on the table. His hands have been soaked in countless poisons that generate and inhibit each other. He is not afraid of most poisons in the world, so he wants to get ahead of Jiang Yan. .

Be cautious in everything, Jiang Yan didn't reject A-Xia's kindness, but just asked: "How did people die? He clearly intended to confess during the day."

A-Xia looked at A-Dong, and said softly, "He died from poisoning, but the smell of poison is obvious, and he wrote a suicide note in advance, so it's unlikely that he killed him."

Jiang Yan frowned, he guessed right, there must be someone behind this Li Ren, but the clue was cut off here.

A Dong read Li Ren's suicide note, and suddenly frowned.

"Your Majesty, this person wrote in his suicide note that he had no choice but to betray Daxian, and his family members didn't know about it. I hope His Majesty can forgive them."

Jiang Yan shook his head: "People are dead, why should I embarrass those orphans and widows? The news is blocked, and it is only said that Li Ren died of a sudden illness."

A-Dong said: "It's not this. He wrote three pages and said these words over and over again."

And uncle just left!Jiang Yan immediately reacted, and he said, "Submit it."

A-Dong was a little hesitant. It is said that Jiang Yan is also their master, and any order should be executed immediately. In fact, if it was the last master, they would never hesitate to let him face these things directly. They can be replaced by Jiang Yan, who is made of crystal. People, don't talk about actions, just think about it and feel distressed.

Jiang Yan increased his voice: "Submit it!"

He broke away from A-Xia, and his phoenix eyes, which looked even brighter because of being covered for a while, passed Li Ren's body without hesitation, and his eyes fell on the suicide note in A-Dong's hand.

A Dong was seen helplessly, so he had to hand over what was in his hand. He didn't doubt Zhen Guohou, but the timeline was too coincidental. They just met him outside the tent, and when they came in, they found Li Ren dead. The person is not yet cold, and the suicide note has written a lot of words, and the ink has not yet dried. If it is said that Li Ren committed suicide by taking poison after Zhen Guohou left, who would believe this?

Jiang Yan clenched his fist tightly with one hand, and held the thin three-page paper with the other, but he seemed to be holding a heavy burden that he couldn't let go or throw away.

A Xia said softly: "That means we came early. If we wait until tomorrow morning, people are dead and the ink is dry, and we don't know the exact time when Zhen Guohou will come, this matter will probably be over like this."

A-Dong glanced at him, but he didn't refute. He was telling the truth, but it seemed a little cruel to make the little emperor who had always relied on his mother clan face these things.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan calmed down quickly, and he said: "Uncle can't possibly have anything to do with the Huns. The Pei family has killed countless Hun royals and has been feuded for generations."

A-Dong said: "Aside from cooperating with the enemy and treason, is there anything else worthy of being silenced by the Marquis?"

The three major crimes of Daxian law, first, collaborating with the enemy and treason, second, conspiracy to commit treason, and third, murdering the royal family.Apart from these, even if uncle committed any crime, how could he not protect him?These three major crimes are serious crimes that implicate the nine clans. No matter how you think about it, they have nothing to do with uncle.

Jiang Yan took a deep breath and said softly: "It's not necessarily uncle, maybe Li Ren drank beforehand, but the effect was slow."

The wine in the wine was highly poisonous, and the throat was sealed at the entrance. Judging from the death and ink stains, he must have taken the poison after writing the suicide note. A-Dong opened his mouth, but seeing the little emperor's dejected expression, He still didn't say much.

Everything is nothing but self-deception.

Jiang Yan said: "Uncle was frightened during the day, and I will talk about Li Ren's matter tomorrow morning. I have to think again, think again."

Jiang Yan returned to the tent, closed his eyes but couldn't fall asleep, he knew that if it was really his uncle, he would be more sleepless than himself, he didn't know what to do, he trusted his uncle from childhood to adulthood , he has been relying on his uncle all the time, and he didn't even dare to ask the emperor's grandfather for his sister's marriage. .He has never heard dissatisfaction with him in his uncle's heart, and those concerns are also true.

Jiang Yan's thinking turned to a deeper level after a while. He was thinking about what secret his uncle had hidden to kill Li Ren. Tian Song was a spy of the Huns. That's right, the two military doctors also recruited them to sneak in. Huns, but these people are like clowns who can't make waves. What made Li Ren not hesitate to call himself the internal response of the Huns?The soldiers and horses in uncle's hands should not be underestimated, and the position is delicate, if he wants to make any moves, he will be in danger.

Jiang Yan was also a little uncomfortable with his thinking that gradually began to favor interests, but he was in a high position now, and it was basic to think about these all the time, so he didn't think about it any further.

The more I grow up, the more unwilling I am to admit my changes, and I always feel that I am still the same as before.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Yan fell asleep in a daze, and had a dream. He hadn't had a dream for a long time. The last time he had a dream was before he ascended the throne.

In the dream, he was twelve or thirteen years old, but he was not a powerless son of the East Palace. His father became the emperor and made him a prince. He married a talented and gentle princess. Live peacefully and smoothly.

Suddenly one day, the princess was pregnant, he was very happy, and then the time passed to the day when she gave birth. He waited nervously and expectantly outside the delivery room, only to hear a loud cry of the baby, and the midwife in the palace laughed. Hehe hugged a baby and showed it to him, saying that the concubine had given birth to the little grandson. He took a look and saw that the baby had Jiang Xuanying's face on its small head, and was blinking at him playfully.

Jiang Yan woke up from the fright, the sky was dim outside, and he had a nightmare, and he lost the interest to continue to sleep, thinking about Li Ren, he felt another headache.

But the headache is the headache. When someone dies, there is always an explanation. Knowing the news of Li Ren's death, people who had been close to him gathered outside Jiang Yan's camp, trying to plead for his wife and children. At least they didn't come. The nine clans were all guilty of the same crime, and the young children were slaves and prostitutes, and some people had to come because of face, and they didn't show it on the face, they all showed concern.

Jiang Yan let them wait, he washed and ate slowly, until the soldiers began to train, the chants outside became louder and louder, and someone informed that his uncle was coming, so he slowly asked people to let them in.

"You must have heard about Li Ren. I have already verified that the poisoned wine he took was hidden in the camp beforehand. This man committed suicide in fear of crime."

Jiang Yan looked at the faces of the people, paused slightly on his uncle's face, and said softly: "If you commit suicide in fear of crime, you are acquiescing to the crime. According to the law, you should be guilty of the same crime of the nine clans, and you must not intercede."

Jiang Yan thought for a while, and then said: "However, the children's affairs are still a bit out of humanity, so let's kill them together."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people below changed several times. Mr. Pei frowned and said in disapproval, "Your Majesty, Li Ren once saved the life of an old official, isn't that good?"

"Uncle, the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is only minor, not serious." Jiang Yan said: "He committed suicide in fear of crime, so he must have thought about the consequences. Since he himself is unwilling to be responsible for his family, why should others worry about him? ?”

Jiang Yan seemed to be reassuring and said: "If you kill a hundred people like this, no one will dare to commit another crime, and uncle can sleep peacefully."

Yang Pengcheng had a good relationship with Li Ren on weekdays, so he endured it, but couldn't help but took a step forward and fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty! I beg Your Majesty to take back your order! Lieutenant Li, who spent half his life in the army, has made countless contributions. This time, I'm afraid it was just a moment of confusion, and he repented in time, and did not really attack General Pei!"

Jiang Yan raised his brows: "In your opinion, the life of the general of the Beiling Camp is so worthless? As long as you don't really do anything, you can be exonerated?"

Mr. Pei frowned, his brows were wrinkled all the year round, and there were three vertical lines. He looked very majestic, and this time was no exception. He whispered: "Your Majesty, Li Ren is a good man. It's just that I went the wrong way for a while... The other person is dead, can you stop worrying about it?"

There was a bit of pleading in the words, Jiang Yan's heart trembled, and he lost his mind. He hurried forward, trying to help Mr. Pei, but he avoided it.

Mr. Pei slowly knelt down on the ground, lowered his head, and looked a little old.

"Li Ren is guilty of assassinating the chief general in the army, so the old minister will hand over the military talisman, hoping that His Majesty will forgive him and spare his family."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Jiang Yan kept his supportive posture, and his hands paused in the air.

"Uncle, do you know what you are talking about?" He said word by word.

Mr. Pei bowed deeply, with fortitude and clarity in his eyes, he seemed to have discovered Jiang Yan's targeting and suspicion, and used this method to prove his loyalty.

Jiang Yan looked at the man kneeling on the ground. He was nearly fifty years old, and he was already considered an old man. Because of his years of military service, his face was more than ten years old. He knelt tremblingly on the ground, from his point of view , I can probably only see a little of the toe of my shoe.
