Everyone in Chen Guo knew that Empress Gaozong's surname was Feng, she was born a commoner, her parents died early, and she only had one younger brother.The siblings depend on each other for life, and their family background can be regarded as weak.
But this uncle died of illness 20 years ago, before the emperor was born.
The queen was born as a commoner and had few relatives in her family. When she was down and down, she didn't want to associate with her helpless siblings.
Later, when the Feng family became the empress, most of the relatives came to the door, and the empress did not recognize her at all. Therefore, the empress's only royal relatives and national relatives were the uncle.
At that time, there were many aristocratic families who wanted to marry their daughters to the uncle of the country, but the foundation of the Feng family was too shallow, and in the end they failed to really integrate with the aristocratic families.The uncle of the country and the queen passed away one after another, and the Feng family suddenly drew their salaries from the bottom of the pot like a raging fire, and ended up taking tea to cool down.
This was all 20 years ago.
Today, Yan Suizhou's father calls himself Uncle Guo.
Xu Jiashi asked the old king of Zhou to observe repeatedly in secret, but it is difficult to determine whether this person is the real uncle based on the few times he met.
Xu Jiashi separated Yan Suizhou from his father and son and questioned them separately.
Yan Suizhou claimed to have been imprisoned by Wuyun Baoyin these days, and what the barbarians did was really inhuman, and he started to vomit as he spoke.
Xu Jiashi shunned the others before asking Wuyun Baoyin if he had done anything wrong to him.
Yan Suizhou shook his head in embarrassment: "He arrested many people, changing one every day. He was extremely cruel. But he didn't touch me, he just wanted me to be there... in front of him all the time."
Xu Jiashi frowned, he had already seen that the little bastard from the grassland was not a good thing, but he didn't expect to be so shameless.Damn it!Damn it!
"You and Wuyun Baoyin knew each other before?" Xu Jiashi asked again.
Yan Suizhou shook his head: "I've never seen him. I only heard that the Daiqin Mission was visiting, and the prince has not left yet, so I verified his identity based on his appearance and listening to the conversation between their master and servant."
Xu Jiashi heard his hoarse voice: "Do you know why he arrested you? These days, he just imprisoned you?"
Yan Suizhou recalled: "The reason for arresting me...you can probably guess that he was because of that nursery rhyme."
"Nursery Rhymes?"
"My father taught me. That day I was teaching the children to sing in the nursery hall. Not long after I came out of the nursery hall, I was taken away by his men. These days, no matter what he does, even if it is... he wants me to repeat it Sing that ballad over and over again. In the past few days, I have sung it about a thousand times."
Xu Jiashi asked Yan Suizhou to sing the nursery rhyme again on the spot. As his friend said, it was completely out of tune, and his voice was hoarse, which was simply unbearable.
Just like that, Wuyun Baoyin has listened to it thousands of times?What kind of fetish is this?
Xu Jiashi pondered for a long time and asked: "When your father taught you this nursery rhyme, did he tell you its origin?"
Yan Suizhou shook his head: "Father never told me. In fact, my father has not mentioned this nursery rhyme for many years—His Royal Highness, why did you suddenly invite my father to Beijing? Is it because Wuyun Baoyin is not good for him?"
Xu Jiashi didn't answer. Seeing that Yan Suizhou was really tired, he asked Sirui to take him down to rest, and then talked with his father Feng Zhao.
——He is actually not called Feng Zhao now, he uses another name, but he insists that he is Feng Zhao, the younger brother of Empress Gaozong Feng Xi.
Although Feng Zhao is over forty years old, his face is handsome and his facial features are cut and feminine, and there are indeed similarities between his eyebrows and His Majesty today.
His Majesty's long-term heart disease has never seen his mother. If it is true that his uncle is still alive, it will be a relief.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, Xu Jiashi was very polite to Feng Zhao and personally served him tea.
Regarding the question of why the son didn't take his father's surname, Feng Zhao said calmly: "I am now the son-in-law of the Yan family, and I take his mother's surname along the boat."
The uncle who had died of illness became the son-in-law of a small family in Bozhou. This change is really amazing, even more unpredictable than the fake death of the old Zhou king.
Xu Jiashi vaguely felt that the implications of this matter must be far-reaching, and thought that he would not tell His Majesty for the time being, so as not to be happy in vain.
He asked Feng Zhao why, as an uncle of the country, he came to recognize his relatives now?If it was really the queen's younger brother, who was the one who died of illness?
Feng Zhao said: "I have been hiding my name in Bozhou, which is what Sister means. Since Sister's last wish is to let me disappear from this world, Ting Lan is no longer alive, whether the uncle of the country or a commoner, it is all right for me. No difference."
In just a few words, Xu Jiashi sorted out a few key pieces of information, revealing the infinite vicissitudes of life: "You mean that the former empress designed you to fake death before dying in childbirth, and arranged a thorough new plan for you in advance. identity?"
Feng Zhao nodded.
"Who is Ting Lan?"
"It was my former lover, a musician from a humble background." Feng Zhao sighed, recalling the first half of his life as if it had been a lifetime away, and it was as illusory as a dream.
"We hit it off and made a private decision for life, but my sister firmly blocked it. Once I questioned my sister, it was clear that my family was also extremely poor, and my sister could still be a queen. Ting Lan is good at music, and she is innocent and behaves well. Why can't she Be my wife. Do I have to pay more attention to family background than the emperor when I marry a wife? Sister was furious and said that as long as she is alive, she will not let us be together."
"So Ting Lan and I made an appointment to die in love. I drank poisonous wine, but I didn't die. When I woke up in Bozhou, my sister had given birth to a young son and died. My sister is my only relative in this world. Our siblings We grew up dependent on each other. My sister didn't allow me to be with Ting Lan, and she was very angry during pregnancy. Maybe she was reluctant to let her brother die, but she would definitely not let Ting Lan go. I and Ting Lan are separated by yin and yang. , there is no Feng Zhao in the world anymore. I planned to take this matter into the coffin, but I didn’t expect that after 20 years, someone would come to Bozhou to look for me and mention that ballad... Is Ting Lan still alive? world?"
Feng Zhao stared at Xu Jiashi: "Regent, I didn't expect that it would be your people who brought me back to Beijing. I know that the Xu family and the Yan family are not in harmony. Since I fall into your hands, life and death are at your disposal. But please tell me Ting Lan's whereabouts, and let Suizhou go, he is my adopted son and has no blood relationship with the Feng family."
In his eyes, the regent is a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately, and even the uncle of the country can deal with him at will?
Xu Jiashi said in a deep voice: "If you falsely admit it, this king will of course pursue heavy punishment. But if you are really your majesty's uncle, your majesty will be happy. If your majesty is happy, this king will be even more happy. Now, I will ask you the last question, you Ting Lan taught Yan Suizhou the nursery rhyme?"
Feng Zhao nodded, with tears in his eyes: "That's a ballad that Ting Lan wrote and filled in, it's very nice..."
Musicians, nursery rhymes, Wuyun Baoyin's mother who wandered from the Central Plains to Daiqin... There are still many doubts about the line of Feng's family, but the clues provided by Feng Zhao, combined with Wuyun Baoyin hijacked Yan Suizhou but left him alive, and did not even bind his hands and feet To enable him to escape by chance, he almost put the truth before his eyes.
Xu Jiashi sorted out the clues into a document, arranged for Feng Zhao and his son, sent someone to convey a message to Shi Zhang, and then went to the palace to meet the saint.
Pei Liangfang had already returned to the palace, he didn't mention Xie Ju, but just congratulated Yan Sui.
Yan Sui didn't know where the joy came from, and Pei Liangfang didn't reveal the secret, but only kept him in a happy mood and was good to the child.
Yan Sui also wanted to ask about Xu Jiashi's cousin's condition, but Pei Liangfang waved his hands exhaustedly: "Let Xu Jiashi worry about it, Your Majesty, rest assured."
How could Yan Sui relax.On the one hand, he sympathized with He Min and hoped that she would get better, but on the other hand, he was afraid that she would find her reason and reveal the cruel truth, and then he would truly lose Xu Jiashi.
Xu Jiashi asked the face saint, but before Yan Sui replied, he went to the imperial study room, Yan Sui didn't have time to wrap the raw silk around his abdomen, so he put on an extra layer of clothes, and when he arrived in the imperial study room, he was sweating all over, his forehead and the tip of his nose were wet. Shiny.
"The regent entered the palace in a hurry. Did the big case come to fruition? Did you find Yan Suizhou? Is he still alive?" Yan Sui sat on the upper seat, a little out of breath.
Xu Jiashi stood in front of him across the desk, leaned forward and gently wiped the thin sweat from Yan Sui's nose with his sleeve, biting every word tightly: "Your Majesty is worried about Yan Suizhou?"
The delicate clothing rubbed against the skin, taking away the damp heat, and bringing up another kind of dry heat.
Yan Sui's heart was beating wildly, and he didn't answer Xu Jiashi's question for a long time.
Xu Jiashi backed away quickly, the presumptuous behavior just now seemed to be Yan Sui's hallucination, Yan Sui heard him say: "We found it. The murderer of the suspected case is also basically confirmed."
Yan Sui stood up with his hands on the table: "Who is it!"
Xu Jiashi looked down at the small piece of wet cuff, and the dark traces came from the emperor, feeling inexplicably familiar.
Before he could answer, Shuang Shun came in and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Daiqin is asking to see you."
-
In the imperial study room, Yan Sui sat at the top, and Wu Yun Baoyin and Xu Jiashi sat opposite each other at the bottom.
After a long silence, Wu Yun Baoyin spoke first to break the silence. He smiled less than his eyes and said, "The regent is so powerful. No matter how bad the little king is, he still represents the whole Daiqin. The regent has people besieging the Tongfang Pavilion for no reason. , not allowed to go in and out, imprisoning us like cattle, sheep and livestock, is it to break with Daiqin?"
This was said to Xu Jiashi, but Wuyun Baoyin looked at Yan Sui.
Yan Sui glanced quickly over the two of them, not knowing exactly what happened.
Xu Jiashi said: "You are not allowed to enter or leave, isn't the prince still coming out? In the eyes of the prince, is my grand law just a piece of waste paper?"
Wu Yun Baoyin's eyes were not friendly, but the corners of his mouth were still curled up: "I am in a hurry to follow the authority, and Xiao Wang is also for self-protection. If His Majesty sends someone, Xiao Wang will certainly know that it is to protect us; if the regent orders, Xiao Wang will look at it." I don’t understand. If I don’t come to see Your Majesty, I’m afraid His Majesty will also be kept in the dark by the Regent.”
Wu Yun Baoyin was committed to sowing discord between the monarch and his ministers from the beginning to the end. Xu Jiashi didn't talk nonsense with him. He raised his head to meet Yan Sui's suspicious gaze, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and handed it over.
When Yan Sui unfolded it, he saw that it was still written in a dragon's and snake's handwriting. It might be difficult for others to recognize it, but Yan Sui was very familiar with it.Xu Jiashi summed up the case in concise language, explaining the ins and outs of the case clearly.
Yan Sui and Xu Jiashi looked at each other, the latter nodded, and the final disposal power silently fell into the hands of the emperor.Yan Sui turned the paper upside down and pressed it down with a paperweight.
"Recently, a number of men have been missing in Beijing one after another, Wuyun Baoyin, what do you have to say about this?"
Yan Sui's tone was calm and his eyes were solemn. This was the first time he called Wu Yun Baoyin by his first name in person.
Wu Yun Baoyin still had a smile on his face: "Return to Your Majesty, Xiao Wang heard about this. It is really a pity. But Xiao Wang also heard that the missing actors are all low-level actors, and their lives are not worth His Majesty's trouble. Doesn’t the regent take care of everything himself, why bother His Majesty even if such a trivial matter can’t be handled well?”
Xu Jiashi didn't give Wu Yun Baoyin any look, but just quietly looked at Yan Sui - the majestic and wise king.
Yan Sui patted the case: "Bad life? Regardless of whether they are good or low, they are my citizens. They live in peace and live in their own country. If they encounter unexpected disasters and kill their lives, they will be called cheap lives! Prince who was born as the son of a musician, how noble are you compared to them!"
Wu Yun Baoyin's smile froze suddenly, and his eyes were like a poisonous snake: "Xiao Wang can't understand what your Majesty said."
Yan Sui calmed down and sat down with his stomach pressed: "Do you need me to speak out for you? Okay, let's treat it as a face-to-face confrontation. Listen carefully——"
"Two actors went missing in the capital on the eighth day of this month, three in the ninth day, and one in the eleventh day. On the [-]th, his son Yan Suizhou disappeared. So far, except for Yan Suizhou, the other six have all been killed."
"What does this have to do with Xiao Wang?" Wu Yun Baoyin smiled coldly, "Your Majesty, don't wrong a good man."
"You guys are really quick to strike. If you don't have Yan Suizhou alive, you really have no proof. You don't care about six lives, but you didn't kill Yan Suizhou. Why? Because he can sing the song your mother sang to you when you were a child. You are reluctant to kill him, for fear that you will never hear that song again. You really miss your mother. But have you ever thought that the people you killed also had mothers! They may also have children! How can you I like to kill people for a while, but it is six families that are ruined!"
"In the eyes of His Majesty, those people can be compared with me? Huh?" Wu Yun Baoyin's smile had completely disappeared, and his eyes were venomous in a low voice.
"It's different, they are innocent victims, and you are a murderer."
Yan Sui felt the fetal movement through the clothes, my child, Father will teach you what is right and wrong, this is the first lesson in life.
"You trapped Yan Suizhou to sing that ballad to you day and night, and at the same time sent people to his hometown of Bozhou to investigate the source of the song, but the regent's people were one step ahead of you and came back with witnesses. So, you Don't know the relationship between Yan Suizhou and your mother?"
Wu Yun Baoyin's deep eyes narrowed, Yan Sui didn't need to say more, he could guess the meaning behind the words just by his tone, the back of his hand holding the armrest of the chair was already bruised, almost smashing the wooden chair.
"Only based on a commoner's one-sided words, is His Majesty Chen Guo going to punish me? Although my father has many descendants, my mother only gave birth to me. If I can't return to Daiqin safely, Daiqin's iron cavalry will go south Return my bones. At that time, these lowly people will not be the only ones who will die. Your Majesty, think twice."
The colorful peacock took off its color camouflage and turned into a fierce vulture.
In the 20 years of Yan Sui's life, he has been treated coldly and neglected, and has fought wits and bravery under Xu Jia's power, but he has never directly faced Wu Yun Bao Yin, who is so vicious and almost crazy.
Killing him would indeed cost a lot.
However, the people of the Chen Kingdom could not die in vain.
Yan Sui and Xu Jiashi looked at each other, and handed over the execution power to Xu Jiashi.
"Your Majesty, step back, step back."
After Shuangshun supported Yan Sui back to the screen, Xu Jiashi stepped forward, lifted up the hem of his clothes and folded them into his waist, rolled up his cuffs, and punched Wu Yun Baoyin's right shoulder knuckles.Wu Yun Baoyin's expression was distorted by the pain, and he subconsciously raised his leg to fight back, but was countered by Xu Jiashi's knee strike.
"The last time I hit you, after all, I was merciful." Xu Jiashi punched hard, "Chen Guonei, how dare you be presumptuous? The laws of heaven are clear, and you will not be allowed to get away with it!"
Wu Yun Baoyin was imprisoned in the armchair and had no power to fight back. He could only cover his head and face with his arms, and sneered with a stinging mouth: "So what if you find out, you dare not kill me. To be honest, those few feelings It's not good, you're just an actor. But you, you can't even taste an actor, let alone—"
Xu Jiashi punched Wu Yun Baoyin's hand bone hard, strangled his neck, and said in a low voice that only each other could hear: "Shut up! You are not worthy, not even thinking about it!"
Xu Jiashi investigated the case for many days and collected the portraits of the victims. It is obvious that everyone has something in common.
Damn it, damn it!
How dare he!
Xu Jiashi's punches were heavier than punches, and Wu Yun Baoyin was no longer human. At first, he was able to speak harshly, but later he had difficulty even breathing.
Yan Sui came out before the little bastard was beaten to death. He first called out "Regent" and then reached out to hold Xu Jiashi's arm. Next: "Stop first."
The summer clothes are light and thin, Yan Sui wore an extra layer today, it doesn't look bulky but it looks like layers of petals wrapping the stamens, Xu Jiashi couldn't help being angry, Wu Yun Baoyin had such a dirty mind in his heart when he took those people away idea.
Xu Jiashi was really intent on killing.
The rainstorm-like fists stopped abruptly, and Wu Yun Baoyin spat out a mouthful of blood: "When I return to Daiqin..."
"You can't say anything." Yan Sui looked condescendingly at the man slumped in the armchair, "It is true that you are still your father's most beloved son so far, not only because of your mother, but also because of your extraordinary brains and strength—”
Yan Sui looked back and forth between the unscathed Xu Jiashi and the inhuman Wuyun Baoyin: "You have some skills on the grassland, and you are a strong contender for the throne. But the premise of all this is that you are indeed born in the royal family. According to me As we all know, because your mother is from the Central Plains, all the ministries of the grassland have disdain for you, but because of your mother's status in your father's heart, no one dares to talk about it. But if your father knows, or with you The third prince who is fighting against each other knows that before your mother went to the grassland, there was a lover who could pass on the most beloved songs, and that lover has a son, how will your father treat you?"
Wu Yun Baoyin gasped violently and struggled to get up: "Don't slander my mother!"
Subconsciously, Xu Jiashi quickly grabbed Yan Sui's waist and brought him back. Yan Sui was afraid that he would tighten up, so he hurriedly protected his abdomen.Xu Jiashi touched the back of Yan Sui's hand and quickly let go.
"I don't bother to threaten a woman's reputation, don't force me." Yan Sui took a deep breath and said, "I am a citizen, no matter how high or low, I can't be bullied by outsiders. I will not kill you, but I won't either." Let you get away with it, and you have nothing to do. You must give me and the dead an explanation!"
Wu Yun Baoyin closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and slammed on the armrest weakly: "What do you want!"
Before Yan Sui opened his mouth, someone from the imperial study reported that Daiqin's deputy, Agula, went to the government to plead guilty, admitting that he killed the six actors alone, and the prince didn't know about it.The suspect drew his knife and killed himself on the spot.
Wu Yun Baoyin's hearing has also declined a lot due to serious injuries. He asked several times before he heard clearly. What Yan Sui said was: "You pay for your life, and now someone will pay for you. The pension of the deceased is out, go back to Daiqin! This life Do not step into Chen Guo half a step!"
Wu Yun Baoyin opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with blood, Agula is dead?The taciturn guy he rescued from the wolves, dead?
Wuyun Baoyin was carried out of the palace, and was thrown on horseback that day, and sent back to the grassland by the remaining people.
In the imperial study room, Yan Sui closed his eyes and meditated.
I was overdressed and furious. My whole body, especially my stomach, was sweating a lot. The innermost clothes were soaked. I really wanted to take a shower quickly.
Xu Jiashi took advantage of the situation and wanted to borrow the bathroom in the palace. Facing Yan Sui's incredulous gaze, he added, "Of course not with His Majesty... There are many bathing pools in the Palace's Zhonghua Qingchi... After His Majesty finishes bathing, I will go again. The main reason is that the whole body is covered in blood, so leaving the palace like this, I am afraid that others will be suspicious."
Taking a bath in the palace is nothing, and it is not uncommon to have a shared bath, even on the fifteenth day of a certain month in the bathroom...
Yan Sui rubbed his hot cheeks, and when he thought that Xu Jiashi might have a family, he felt depressed, and all the love turned into sorrow: "Huaqing Pool is used by the Regent at will. I will go back to the Palace of Qianyong first. Madam Ling's condition is very important. If you want to invite Miracle Physician Pei out of the palace, you don't have to ask me, just go to the Nursing Home to find him. I have read the paperwork for sealing the son. The child must have an official name when he grows up. It is the responsibility of being a father, the regent thinks it over, and submits a new memorial, and I will give a reply."
Yan Sui came out from behind the table and passed by Xu Jiashi, Xu Jiashi grabbed his wrist: "I have never married, let alone have children!"
Yan Sui looked at him in surprise: "What did you say?"
Xu Jiashi was a little shy, he looked away slightly, and said in a low voice: "I have found out. Cousin is not my wife, and Ah Tu is not a subject. Before marriage, I will never do rude things. Up to now... I am still a boy. ..."
The author says:
Yan Sui: I have a big belly and you say you are a child? ?
But this uncle died of illness 20 years ago, before the emperor was born.
The queen was born as a commoner and had few relatives in her family. When she was down and down, she didn't want to associate with her helpless siblings.
Later, when the Feng family became the empress, most of the relatives came to the door, and the empress did not recognize her at all. Therefore, the empress's only royal relatives and national relatives were the uncle.
At that time, there were many aristocratic families who wanted to marry their daughters to the uncle of the country, but the foundation of the Feng family was too shallow, and in the end they failed to really integrate with the aristocratic families.The uncle of the country and the queen passed away one after another, and the Feng family suddenly drew their salaries from the bottom of the pot like a raging fire, and ended up taking tea to cool down.
This was all 20 years ago.

Yan Sui's heart was beating wildly, and he didn't answer Xu Jiashi's question for a long time.
Xu Jiashi backed away quickly, the presumptuous behavior just now seemed to be Yan Sui's hallucination, Yan Sui heard him say: "We found it. The murderer of the suspected case is also basically confirmed."
Yan Sui stood up with his hands on the table: "Who is it!"
Xu Jiashi looked down at the small piece of wet cuff, and the dark traces came from the emperor, feeling inexplicably familiar.
Before he could answer, Shuang Shun came in and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Daiqin is asking to see you."
-
In the imperial study room, Yan Sui sat at the top, and Wu Yun Baoyin and Xu Jiashi sat opposite each other at the bottom.
After a long silence, Wu Yun Baoyin spoke first to break the silence. He smiled less than his eyes and said, "The regent is so powerful. No matter how bad the little king is, he still represents the whole Daiqin. The regent has people besieging the Tongfang Pavilion for no reason. , not allowed to go in and out, imprisoning us like cattle, sheep and livestock, is it to break with Daiqin?"
This was said to Xu Jiashi, but Wuyun Baoyin looked at Yan Sui.
Yan Sui glanced quickly over the two of them, not knowing exactly what happened.
Xu Jiashi said: "You are not allowed to enter or leave, isn't the prince still coming out? In the eyes of the prince, is my grand law just a piece of waste paper?"
Wu Yun Baoyin's eyes were not friendly, but the corners of his mouth were still curled up: "I am in a hurry to follow the authority, and Xiao Wang is also for self-protection. If His Majesty sends someone, Xiao Wang will certainly know that it is to protect us; if the regent orders, Xiao Wang will look at it." I don’t understand. If I don’t come to see Your Majesty, I’m afraid His Majesty will also be kept in the dark by the Regent.”
Wu Yun Baoyin was committed to sowing discord between the monarch and his ministers from the beginning to the end. Xu Jiashi didn't talk nonsense with him. He raised his head to meet Yan Sui's suspicious gaze, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and handed it over.
When Yan Sui unfolded it, he saw that it was still written in a dragon's and snake's handwriting. It might be difficult for others to recognize it, but Yan Sui was very familiar with it.Xu Jiashi summed up the case in concise language, explaining the ins and outs of the case clearly.
Yan Sui and Xu Jiashi looked at each other, the latter nodded, and the final disposal power silently fell into the hands of the emperor.Yan Sui turned the paper upside down and pressed it down with a paperweight.
"Recently, a number of men have been missing in Beijing one after another, Wuyun Baoyin, what do you have to say about this?"
Yan Sui's tone was calm and his eyes were solemn. This was the first time he called Wu Yun Baoyin by his first name in person.
Wu Yun Baoyin still had a smile on his face: "Return to Your Majesty, Xiao Wang heard about this. It is really a pity. But Xiao Wang also heard that the missing actors are all low-level actors, and their lives are not worth His Majesty's trouble. Doesn’t the regent take care of everything himself, why bother His Majesty even if such a trivial matter can’t be handled well?”
Xu Jiashi didn't give Wu Yun Baoyin any look, but just quietly looked at Yan Sui - the majestic and wise king.
Yan Sui patted the case: "Bad life? Regardless of whether they are good or low, they are my citizens. They live in peace and live in their own country. If they encounter unexpected disasters and kill their lives, they will be called cheap lives! Prince who was born as the son of a musician, how noble are you compared to them!"
Wu Yun Baoyin's smile froze suddenly, and his eyes were like a poisonous snake: "Xiao Wang can't understand what your Majesty said."
Yan Sui calmed down and sat down with his stomach pressed: "Do you need me to speak out for you? Okay, let's treat it as a face-to-face confrontation. Listen carefully——"
"Two actors went missing in the capital on the eighth day of this month, three in the ninth day, and one in the eleventh day. On the [-]th, his son Yan Suizhou disappeared. So far, except for Yan Suizhou, the other six have all been killed."
"What does this have to do with Xiao Wang?" Wu Yun Baoyin smiled coldly, "Your Majesty, don't wrong a good man."
"You guys are really quick to strike. If you don't have Yan Suizhou alive, you really have no proof. You don't care about six lives, but you didn't kill Yan Suizhou. Why? Because he can sing the song your mother sang to you when you were a child. You are reluctant to kill him, for fear that you will never hear that song again. You really miss your mother. But have you ever thought that the people you killed also had mothers! They may also have children! How can you I like to kill people for a while, but it is six families that are ruined!"
"In the eyes of His Majesty, those people can be compared with me? Huh?" Wu Yun Baoyin's smile had completely disappeared, and his eyes were venomous in a low voice.
"It's different, they are innocent victims, and you are a murderer."
Yan Sui felt the fetal movement through the clothes, my child, Father will teach you what is right and wrong, this is the first lesson in life.
"You trapped Yan Suizhou to sing that ballad to you day and night, and at the same time sent people to his hometown of Bozhou to investigate the source of the song, but the regent's people were one step ahead of you and came back with witnesses. So, you Don't know the relationship between Yan Suizhou and your mother?"
Wu Yun Baoyin's deep eyes narrowed, Yan Sui didn't need to say more, he could guess the meaning behind the words just by his tone, the back of his hand holding the armrest of the chair was already bruised, almost smashing the wooden chair.
"Only based on a commoner's one-sided words, is His Majesty Chen Guo going to punish me? Although my father has many descendants, my mother only gave birth to me. If I can't return to Daiqin safely, Daiqin's iron cavalry will go south Return my bones. At that time, these lowly people will not be the only ones who will die. Your Majesty, think twice."
The colorful peacock took off its color camouflage and turned into a fierce vulture.
In the 20 years of Yan Sui's life, he has been treated coldly and neglected, and has fought wits and bravery under Xu Jia's power, but he has never directly faced Wu Yun Bao Yin, who is so vicious and almost crazy.
Killing him would indeed cost a lot.
However, the people of the Chen Kingdom could not die in vain.
Yan Sui and Xu Jiashi looked at each other, and handed over the execution power to Xu Jiashi.
"Your Majesty, step back, step back."
After Shuangshun supported Yan Sui back to the screen, Xu Jiashi stepped forward, lifted up the hem of his clothes and folded them into his waist, rolled up his cuffs, and punched Wu Yun Baoyin's right shoulder knuckles.Wu Yun Baoyin's expression was distorted by the pain, and he subconsciously raised his leg to fight back, but was countered by Xu Jiashi's knee strike.
"The last time I hit you, after all, I was merciful." Xu Jiashi punched hard, "Chen Guonei, how dare you be presumptuous? The laws of heaven are clear, and you will not be allowed to get away with it!"
Wu Yun Baoyin was imprisoned in the armchair and had no power to fight back. He could only cover his head and face with his arms, and sneered with a stinging mouth: "So what if you find out, you dare not kill me. To be honest, those few feelings It's not good, you're just an actor. But you, you can't even taste an actor, let alone—"
Xu Jiashi punched Wu Yun Baoyin's hand bone hard, strangled his neck, and said in a low voice that only each other could hear: "Shut up! You are not worthy, not even thinking about it!"
Xu Jiashi investigated the case for many days and collected the portraits of the victims. It is obvious that everyone has something in common.
Damn it, damn it!
How dare he!
Xu Jiashi's punches were heavier than punches, and Wu Yun Baoyin was no longer human. At first, he was able to speak harshly, but later he had difficulty even breathing.
Yan Sui came out before the little bastard was beaten to death. He first called out "Regent" and then reached out to hold Xu Jiashi's arm. Next: "Stop first."
The summer clothes are light and thin, Yan Sui wore an extra layer today, it doesn't look bulky but it looks like layers of petals wrapping the stamens, Xu Jiashi couldn't help being angry, Wu Yun Baoyin had such a dirty mind in his heart when he took those people away idea.
Xu Jiashi was really intent on killing.
The rainstorm-like fists stopped abruptly, and Wu Yun Baoyin spat out a mouthful of blood: "When I return to Daiqin..."
"You can't say anything." Yan Sui looked condescendingly at the man slumped in the armchair, "It is true that you are still your father's most beloved son so far, not only because of your mother, but also because of your extraordinary brains and strength—”
Yan Sui looked back and forth between the unscathed Xu Jiashi and the inhuman Wuyun Baoyin: "You have some skills on the grassland, and you are a strong contender for the throne. But the premise of all this is that you are indeed born in the royal family. According to me As we all know, because your mother is from the Central Plains, all the ministries of the grassland have disdain for you, but because of your mother's status in your father's heart, no one dares to talk about it. But if your father knows, or with you The third prince who is fighting against each other knows that before your mother went to the grassland, there was a lover who could pass on the most beloved songs, and that lover has a son, how will your father treat you?"
Wu Yun Baoyin gasped violently and struggled to get up: "Don't slander my mother!"
Subconsciously, Xu Jiashi quickly grabbed Yan Sui's waist and brought him back. Yan Sui was afraid that he would tighten up, so he hurriedly protected his abdomen.Xu Jiashi touched the back of Yan Sui's hand and quickly let go.
"I don't bother to threaten a woman's reputation, don't force me." Yan Sui took a deep breath and said, "I am a citizen, no matter how high or low, I can't be bullied by outsiders. I will not kill you, but I won't either." Let you get away with it, and you have nothing to do. You must give me and the dead an explanation!"
Wu Yun Baoyin closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and slammed on the armrest weakly: "What do you want!"
Before Yan Sui opened his mouth, someone from the imperial study reported that Daiqin's deputy, Agula, went to the government to plead guilty, admitting that he killed the six actors alone, and the prince didn't know about it.The suspect drew his knife and killed himself on the spot.
Wu Yun Baoyin's hearing has also declined a lot due to serious injuries. He asked several times before he heard clearly. What Yan Sui said was: "You pay for your life, and now someone will pay for you. The pension of the deceased is out, go back to Daiqin! This life Do not step into Chen Guo half a step!"
Wu Yun Baoyin opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with blood, Agula is dead?The taciturn guy he rescued from the wolves, dead?
Wuyun Baoyin was carried out of the palace, and was thrown on horseback that day, and sent back to the grassland by the remaining people.
In the imperial study room, Yan Sui closed his eyes and meditated.
I was overdressed and furious. My whole body, especially my stomach, was sweating a lot. The innermost clothes were soaked. I really wanted to take a shower quickly.
Xu Jiashi took advantage of the situation and wanted to borrow the bathroom in the palace. Facing Yan Sui's incredulous gaze, he added, "Of course not with His Majesty... There are many bathing pools in the Palace's Zhonghua Qingchi... After His Majesty finishes bathing, I will go again. The main reason is that the whole body is covered in blood, so leaving the palace like this, I am afraid that others will be suspicious."
Taking a bath in the palace is nothing, and it is not uncommon to have a shared bath, even on the fifteenth day of a certain month in the bathroom...
Yan Sui rubbed his hot cheeks, and when he thought that Xu Jiashi might have a family, he felt depressed, and all the love turned into sorrow: "Huaqing Pool is used by the Regent at will. I will go back to the Palace of Qianyong first. Madam Ling's condition is very important. If you want to invite Miracle Physician Pei out of the palace, you don't have to ask me, just go to the Nursing Home to find him. I have read the paperwork for sealing the son. The child must have an official name when he grows up. It is the responsibility of being a father, the regent thinks it over, and submits a new memorial, and I will give a reply."
Yan Sui came out from behind the table and passed by Xu Jiashi, Xu Jiashi grabbed his wrist: "I have never married, let alone have children!"
Yan Sui looked at him in surprise: "What did you say?"
Xu Jiashi was a little shy, he looked away slightly, and said in a low voice: "I have found out. Cousin is not my wife, and Ah Tu is not a subject. Before marriage, I will never do rude things. Up to now... I am still a boy. ..."
