To The Land of Nevernight

After the assassin was arrested, he confessed to Xiao Lu that night.

Xiao Lu was tortured to the brink of death by Brother Yelushe in prison, and finally confessed to being the mastermind behind the scenes.If it was in Shangjing, there would never be torture to extract confessions, at least it would be impossible for Yelushege's people to do it.Because of going to Beijing, the prince Taishi Yeluding covered the sky with one hand.So Brother Yelushe and Yeluqin traveled thousands of miles to Xijin Mansion, the headquarters of the southern officials.

After Xiao Lu confessed to the chief envoy, Brother Yelushe acted in disbelief, his eyes widened in a daze, and he asked repeatedly: "How could it be Mr. Taibao, how could it be?"

The incriminating evidence found in Xiao Lu's mansion was not all that Yelu Shege sent people to frame and blame.

Officials found a few things in Xiao Lu's treasury, all of which were precious treasures only found in the capital.They even found something in Xiao Lu's backyard, which was a bloody coat stained with the assassin's blood.Xiao Lv must be the assassin's accomplice, but whether his mastermind behind the scenes is Prince Taibao Yeluyin, only he himself knows.

Yeluqin was injured and did not interrogate Xiao Lu.After Xiao Lu confessed to the envoy, he said suspiciously: "Second Highness, it stands to reason that Xiao Lu should be the third prince's person, and everything found in his house is ironclad evidence. It's just that his behavior makes me a little unpredictable I can't see through it. I have been in the officialdom for many years, and according to my opinion, it seems that he is not."

Brother Yelushe also said: "I also think there is something strange about it. However, everyone has deployed adults, and someone in Xijin Mansion must have helped the assassin. Otherwise, how could he have been hiding in the city for so many days without being discovered by himself. ?”

A gloomy expression flashed across Yeluqin's face, he thought for a while, and said: "Could it be that Xiao Lu is not from the Third Prince..." He stretched out his right hand, slapped the back of his left hand, and lowered his voice: "It's someone else The two princes planted the blame and wanted to drive a wedge between His Highness and the Third Highness, so as to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and always have the advantage of being a fisherman?"

"It's all based on what adults think, and Brother She also thought about it. But it's really ridiculous." Brother Yelushe said almost mockingly, "What the Han people say is 'the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits'. In essence, the fisherman is Those who have the power to compete are definitely not taking advantage of it for nothing. It’s not that Brother She looks down on my elder brother and fourth younger brother. Yeluzhan’s thoughts are all written on his face. Yelulong wants to show his thoughts on his face, but he has no scheming .If it is true that they got the help of an expert to set up this situation and lead me to fight Yeluhan, so what?"

Yeluqin: "What does Your Highness mean?"

Brother Yelushe opened the folding fan with a bang, and shook it gently, like a young man from the south of the Yangtze River, but his slightly gloomy expression made him look like a young man from an aristocratic family. "The only thing Brother She wants to deal with is Yeluhan, or in other words, the grand master behind him. As for others, no matter what he does, he is just a clown."

Yeluqin suddenly realized, he bowed and said: "Your Highness is wise, I am willing to go through fire and water for His Highness, no matter what!"

The two thought they were well-thought-out, but they never expected that behind all this there was even the influence of Song Dynasty intervening.

Leaving aside the secret matters here, on the other side, at Zuo Pingzhang’s government office, Xiao Zhen was already sick with anger at being banned by Xiao Lu, but now that he knew that Xiao Lu had said that he was also an accomplice, he was even more angry. If you catch fire, you will almost die.

Xiao Zhen and Xiao Lu are distant cousins, and they have an irreconcilable relationship.However, there were no other outstanding children in their lineage, so when Xiao Lu came to curry favor with Xiao Zhen and offered him a generous gift, Xiao Zhen accepted it after a few prevarications, and even took Xiao Lu as his confidant.

Xiao Lu's retaliation was not aimless.

First of all, among the several precious gifts related to the assassins that the officials found from his home, one was given by Xiao Lv as a gift from Qiao Jiu, a tea merchant in Song Dynasty, and the other was given to him by Xiao Zhen casually.When Xiao Lu heard that there was something wrong with these two things, he hated Xiao Zhen and Qiao Jiu very much. He had been tortured to the point where he lost his mind and couldn't think. Knowing that he was doomed, he wished to drag everyone else into the water.

Qiao Jiu came to Xiao Zhen for help, and Xiao Zhen panicked like ants on a hot pot.He immediately changed into his official robe, and went to Dubu Mansion to pay a visit in person.Brother Yelushe actually agreed to meet him, and the moment he saw Brother Yelushe, Xiao Zhen knelt down and cried out, "Your Majesty was wronged, I really didn't know that Xiao Lu was actually an assassin's party! Your Majesty, yes!" His Highness is loyal, the sun and the moon can learn from each other!"

Brother Yelushe said in amazement: "Why do you do such a great gift, get up and talk."

Xiao Zhen didn't dare to get up: "I really don't know anything, I beg Second Highness to learn from you."

Brother Yelushe said with a smile: "It seems that Zuo Pingzhang already knew about Xiao Lu's confession. Yes, he did confess to you, but what kind of person is Lord Xiao, can His Highness not know? You stand up Speak."

Xiao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then stood up immediately.

Half an hour later, Xiao Zhen left the Dubu Mansion in a state of shock.After he left, Yeluqin came out from the back room. "I've been sick recently, so I can't see guests. It's hard work, Second Highness, you need to spend more time with this kind of brainless fool."

Brother Yelushe: "Where did you say that? Although this Xiao Zhen is stupid, but his official position is not small, we are still useful. From today onwards, he has a handle in our hands, so he will not disagree." He paused, "Yes. Now, who is Qiao Jiu? How did Xiao Lu confess to him and want to blame him?"

Yeluqin's complexion changed: "This man... I have really heard of it. Your Highness knows that Xiao Lu has always wanted to please His Highness. Now it seems that he has evil intentions and plots. The Xiao family went to the banquet, and after the banquet, His Highness and Xiao Lu went to appreciate the paintings, Xiao Zhen once told me that Qiao Jiu was a tea merchant in the Song Dynasty that Xiao Lu knew, he had a rich family, and he had a handsome and beautiful son."

Brother Yelushe was stunned, and showed a playful smile: "I remembered, Xiao Lu also told me, so it turns out that the person he was talking about is Qiao Jiu."

"Because of Qiao Jiu's matter, His Highness alienated Xiao Lu, and Xiao Lu was already holding a grudge. After Xiao Lu's most trusted shopkeeper was caught, he also confessed that Xiao Lu hated Qiao Jiu and had always wanted to kill Qiao Jiu. Think about it Xiao Lu knew that he had no chance of surviving this time, so he deliberately framed Qiao Jiu."

Brother Yelushe nodded lightly, and the room was silent.

After a while, Brother Yelushe suddenly said, "Is his son really beautiful?"

When others evaluate a man, they will never use the word "beauty".But even if Brother Yelushe said it, Yeluqin didn't think there was anything wrong.His tone was casual: "I haven't seen it before. If His Highness likes it, just find a crime and arrest him."

Brother Yelushe: "My Highness is not a robber, how can I kidnap people casually."

Yeluqin immediately changed his words: "Yes, the minister made a mistake, please punish him, Your Highness."

Brother Yelushe sighed, "It's an eventful time, my Highness is not interested in these romantic affairs at all."

On the other hand, after Xiao Zhen returned to the mansion, Qiao Jiu had been waiting for him for a long time.

Seeing Qiao Jiu, Xiao Zhen felt complicated.He knew that he had been forced to board the second prince's pirate ship, and would be the enemy of the third prince's party from then on. The prince grand master Ye Lvding would never let him off easily.

Qiao Jiu: "My lord, this is a sudden disaster for us! The villain just wants to come to Xijin Manor to do business, who would have thought that such a thing would happen."

Xiao Zhen: "The Second Highness is wise and martial, and was not deceived by Xiao Lu and believed his nonsense."

Having said that, Xiao Zhen felt close to Qiao Jiu.They all said that we share weal and woe, and he said with emotion: "But don't let your guard down. The Second Highness said that he trusts us, but who knows when he will suddenly attack us. Sigh, these days are really getting harder and harder."

Qiao Jiu gave the gift and returned to the house.

After Su Wenyun heard the news, he was slightly surprised: "Brother Yelushe let Xiao Zhen go like this?" He didn't expect Xiao Zhen to be unsuspected.If so, it might not be so easy for him to plot against Xiao Zhen.

Qiao Jiu said everything Xiao Zhen said.

Su Wenyun sneered and said, "Brother Yelushe is not stupid either. Buying people's hearts is very easy. I'm afraid I have done it many times before. But after this incident, Xiao Zhen and we have become friends on the same boat. How did Xiao Lu try to curry favor with Xiao Zhen in the past, can you learn it?"

Qiao Jiu: "My lord, please rest assured."

Su Wenyun: "It's not necessarily necessary to instigate him. Being his confidant, we can still get news from him. After this, he will never doubt us again. And after he becomes the second prince's party, we can learn from him I got even more information. How do you know it’s a blessing in disguise?” After a pause, he continued: “Earlier, Xiao Lv often asked Tang Jingze to meet the second prince. I always felt that something was wrong. Please check carefully Clearly, there may be abnormalities in it."

Qiao Jiu: "Yes."

For a few days, Qiao Jiu visited Xiao Zhen every day and gave him generous gifts.Xiao Zhen gradually regarded him as one of his own, and finally told the truth after drinking once.Qiao Jiu was shocked, and immediately went back to report to Su Wenyun.

Su Wenyun: "..."

That night, Lord Su wrote a letter with his own hand and sent it back to Youzhou City overnight.

Tang Shen received the letter, which was said to be urgent, and the secret envoy only took one day and one night to send the letter to Youzhou.Tang Shen valued it very much, he opened it impatiently, and continued: "..."

There are only two short lines in the letter.

"Brother Yelushe has a habit of Longyang.

Mr. Tang is really brilliant. 』

Tang Shen burned the letter speechlessly, and said in his heart: "How do I know that he is a Duanxiu, and I didn't change it with you on purpose. What do you mean by my cleverness, even if Brother Yelushe is not a Duanxiu, Xijin Mansion is still a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. You have gone all the way, are you still afraid of a second prince?"

When Tang Shen received this letter, Wang Qin was beside him, and Tang Shen didn't shy away from him.

Seeing Tang Shen's displeasure, Wang Qin asked, "What happened?"

Tang Shen was silent for a moment, and finally turned the corner of his mouth, as if suing, and told Wang Qin everything Su Wenyun said.

Tang Shen also felt very innocent: "Senior brother, tell me, brother Yelushe is a broken sleeve. I didn't force him to break his sleeve. He was born with it. Su Wenyun was going to Xijin Mansion, so it has nothing to do with me. forced him to go."

Wang Qin frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Tang Shen: "Brother?"

Wang Qin just woke up like a dream, and said, "How is the situation in Xijin Mansion?"

The two of them exposed this matter, and Tang Shen talked about the situation of Xijin Mansion. "Su Wenyun is quite clever, but it's a pity that he failed to instigate Xiao Zhen. Originally, I only wanted to use assassins to frame Xiao Lu, so as to open up the relationship with Xiao Zhen. But time was too tight, and I didn't think of a way, just With such an idea, Mr. Su has completely accomplished it."

Wang Qin: "Do you know why the Holy Majesty likes Su Wenyun?"

Tang Shen became interested: "Why?"

Zhao Fu likes Li Jingde, because Li Jingde has countless military exploits and has no ambitions. He just wants to kill all Liao people.He likes himself, and Tang Shen also understands that the main reason is that he is humble, has no background, and is also very good at blowing rainbow farts, Zhao Fu is very relieved to use it.As for Wang Qin, Zhao Fu's favor and trust in Wang Qin, it is better to say that Wang Qin is too fond of Zhao Fu in everything.

What Zhao Fu wants to do, what he hasn't done, and what he wants to do, Wang Qin will do it all.

Even if the emperor is not Zhao Fu, as long as he is an emperor, he will definitely favor and trust Wang Qin.

But what about Su Wenyun?

Wang Qin glanced at the sky, only to see dark clouds covering the moon outside, he pointed out: "It's dark. There are always things that the Holy Majesty can't do, but wants to do, and Su Wenyun is a person who has no bottom line. To become For big things, he is ruthless and unscrupulous, such a person, the Holy One naturally likes him, and he will naturally use him."

Tang Shenzhuang said unintentionally: "In order to achieve great things, he will use any means. Senior brother, has he done anything vicious?"

Wang Qin glanced at Tang Shen quietly, and smiled leisurely: "All the things you can think of that the emperor wants to do, but can't do blatantly, are all done by Su Wenyun for him."

Tang Shen's heart trembled, he smiled, and changed the topic: "Then between Su Wenyun and senior brother, who does the Holy One trust more?"

Wang Qin seemed to be in trouble all of a sudden.

He thought about it for a long time, and then asked: "Although you don't want to speculate about the holy will, but there are only you and me right now, so it's okay to talk about it. Junior brother, who do you think the Holy Majesty likes more?"

Do you still need to think about it?

Tang Shen blurted out: "Naturally, I am leaning toward senior brother. No matter what the Holy Majesty chooses, for me, Su Wenyun is not even one ten thousandth of senior brother."
