I am the empress, you still tell me to run away?

It is worth mentioning that according to the records of the experts in charge of monitoring Qiuxiang Building, they did not find out how Lin Xuan entered or attacked Sima Zhao, nor did they find any traces of Sima Zhao's body after the fire.

In terms of destroying corpses and eradicating traces, Lin Xuan is really professional.

No wonder Lin Xuan mentioned a female assassin last time, she arranged to protect Lin Xuan, no matter whether the female assassin was alive or dead, no body was found.

It is precisely because of these circumstances that Wright Butang's investigation in Qiuxiang Tower has been severely disturbed.

However, on the whole, it is enough to proceed in the direction she needs.

Cheng Butang responded with a wat board in his hand, "I have evidence! I found a secret passage under the attic where the oiran lived in Qiuxianglou. There is also a secret room under the secret passage. All the evidence in the secret room is Sima Zhao's crime. In addition, I suspect that this secret road leads to the outside of the city, but it collapsed halfway, making it impossible for me to continue to follow."

"Whether it's the secret passage or the secret room, there are traces of Sima Zhao and a woman's latest stay."

"Therefore, I think Sima Zhao is absconding in fear of crime!"

At this moment, several ministers in the hall felt that they couldn't stand it anymore.

Who would have thought that Sima Zhao would put the evidence left by him in the secret room below Qiuxiang Building, and no one knew how much these evidence would be related to them.

Sima Zhao, are you trying to kill everyone? !

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce. Recently, the Ministry of Industry has several officials in charge of the warehouse. I found out internally that these officials had contact with Sima's family members before they died. However, I dare not make judgments. It still needs to be investigated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Geng Yuandao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and reported with a wat board in his hand.

"Your Majesty, I also have something to announce. Not long ago, Sima Zhao sent a letter to the five guards to revise the originally arranged watch list, but all those who participated in the replacement of the guards on that day have also died in recent days."

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce..."

"..."

In a very short period of time, the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were almost united, and they had to find some clues if they had no clues.

Moreover, when they provided clues, they completely dismantled themselves and blamed Sima Zhao for all the crimes.

It's just that Sima Zhao disappeared for a day without coming to court. Who would have thought that such a trend would develop in a blink of an eye.

After all, Sima Zhao used to sell his family, but now they sell Sima Zhao to survive.

There's nothing wrong with that either.

It's okay to change it to normal.

Who let this time involve the capital crime of conspiracy to assassinate His Majesty with a thousand-step military bed crossbow?

No matter who it is, they will not be stupid enough to live and die with Sima Zhao, right?

Seeing what the ministers said, Empress Ji Handan nodded: "Okay, the cabinet has drafted an order to search Sima Zhao's mansion. If there is any evidence, we will arrest all of them!"

Cheng Butang held the wat board and bowed to salute: "Your Excellency, accept the decree!"

The ministers looked at Cheng Butang, their hearts were extremely complicated. No matter what, the assassination of His Majesty was not done by Sima Zhao, and must be done by Sima Zhao.

However, if you think about it, Sima Zhao is really worthy of being the former Taiwei, the head of the three princes, and he can be so ruthless.

How could he hold his breath, leave his huge family behind, and run away alone?

If it were any other family, who would have the courage of Sima Zhao?

nonexistent!

……

Taining Palace.

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan was eating the peeled lotus seeds, feeling happy.

On the side, the old eunuch Yu Jingyi reported: "Queen Mother, everything has been settled."

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan ate the lotus seeds in her hand and nodded: "Keep watching to prevent accidents."

The old eunuch Yu Jingyi nodded: "Yes, Empress Dowager. However, we haven't found Sima Zhao's body so far, so we can't confirm whether Sima Zhao is really dead."

"However, His Majesty has ordered Sir Cheng Butang to search Sima Zhao's mansion. If Sima Zhao is not dead, he has no chance to live."

"The only problem is that after the aristocratic family realizes it, they will take unimaginable revenge on Le Xianhou."

"Because tracing back to the source, they will find that the root cause of the collapse of the Sima family is Le Xianhou."

"..."

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan nodded, indicating that she understood.

She had to discuss this matter with her daughter on how to solve it.

Most importantly, the key to the solution is to allow Lin Xuan to stay in Dagan willingly.

In addition, according to what his daughter said, Ji Handan completely exposed his force in front of Lin Xuan. Now that Lin Xuan is focusing on Sima Zhao, he may not think much about it, but after the crisis is over, he will definitely doubt it.

Among the women in the world, who can talk to the empress and possess such powerful force, besides the current emperor, who else is there?

Lin Xuan himself is a person who can see things in detail, and the method of confusing the line of sight last time must not be used.

Therefore, that very special method must be used at this time.

"Prepare for Ai's family, Ai's family is going to meet Lin boy."

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan raised her hand.

The old eunuch Yu Jingyi understood and asked the maid who was waiting outside to come in and clear the table.

At the same time, a little eunuch spread ink and silk on the table.

After finishing these, the maids and eunuchs all left the room, leaving only the old eunuch Yu Jingyi and the queen mother Li Ningyan.

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan picked up the brush and said, "There is another kind of ink, take it out too!"

The old eunuch Yu Jingyi was surprised, bowed and said, "Yes!"

When the ink was delivered, the Empress Dowager glanced at it and nodded: "Go and prepare some gifts for Ai's family. It's more festive and doesn't need to be expensive."

"Yes!"

The old eunuch Yu Jingyi quickly exited the room, knowing that he was not qualified to spy on the contents of the brocade later.

As for the gifts to be prepared, if you want them to be more festive, he can roughly understand the Queen Mother's purpose.

Anyway, just run the errands.

After the old eunuch closed the door, Empress Dowager Li Ningyan first wrote a line of transparent words on the silk with special ink.

Then, I traced it again on the original handwriting almost in the form of a sketch. Except for a few different characters, the content of the entire brocade is actually the same in essence.

No way, daughter Ji Handan's emotional intelligence is too low, and she is still in the stage of enlightenment, just like dealing with government affairs.

Even now, with the assistance of the cabinet, the Pojun Mansion, and Lin Xuan, even without her help, Ji Handan can handle the entire affairs in an orderly manner without any mistakes.

But there are some things that are not easy to mention in this way. If you can only mention it naturally, then she will arrange the future results.

At that time, even if Lin Xuan wants to run away, she can just take out this brocade.

Let's see if this kid can run away by then.

How to run?

……

Because the sky was blocked by the Beiluo Forbidden Army, there was some chaos inside the Guozijian. The students were all talking about state affairs impassionedly, and it sounded like they wanted to catch the culprit who wanted to assassinate the Empress Ji Handan.

These students...

Lin Xuan took a look and passed by directly.

To put it simply, being able to love the country so much in the Imperial College is also very good.

However, 90.00% of those who can become Guozijian students are from aristocratic families.

After graduating and returning to their respective aristocratic families, I'm afraid they will look different again.

But these have nothing to do with Lin Xuan.

If I really want to say a little bit of expectation, these students will not be like Sima Zhao after graduation in the future, so come over and assassinate him.

It is also for this reason that Lin Xuan has been hesitant about what to teach these students.

At present, it is the basic knowledge of elementary school mathematics, elementary school geography, elementary school astronomy and some common sense of life.

Although some people have mastered this knowledge, it does not mean that everyone has mastered it. Lin Xuan just sorted it out systematically and prepared to teach these students.

Even so, the few Jijiu were all amazed when they saw some of the lesson plans that Lin Xuan had brought out.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of why questions came.

Lin Xuan answered no, and it was no if he didn't answer, just like this, he wasted some more time when he should go home early.

Unknowingly, it was noon time again, and Lin Xuan left with the excuse of having lunch, and drove back to Yongle Lane in a carriage.

There was an attack yesterday, the courtyard was in a mess, the grape trellis had to be repaired, the marble table had to be rebuilt, the floor had to be resurfaced, there were a lot of things to do in the afternoon.

only……

The carriage just stopped at the door, Lin Xuan was slightly taken aback.

In front of his mansion, a group of craftsmen who seemed to have just finished their work came out.

When the captain of the craftsman saw Lin Xuan, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Le Xianhou, everything has been repaired!"

Eh?

Lin Xuan returned the gift.

But before Lin Xuan asked anything, the craftsman captain left first.

This is how the same thing?

Could it be Zhao Yuehan?

Lin Xuan walked into the yard.

Under the newly repaired grape arbor, a brand new marble table has been placed, which is of better quality than the one he bought last time.

The ground shattered by the bed crossbow used by the Thousand Step Army was also paved with new floor tiles, and some elegant-looking flowers and plants were planted in the potholes, and these flowers and plants would not conflict with other surrounding flowers and plants.

The rest of the messy things were also sorted out and put aside neatly.

As for the grape arbor, the one sitting is not Zhao Yuehan, but the old lady?

The old lady was accompanied by a middle-aged woman, she was very graceful, she should be a maid.

Seeing Lin Xuan's return, the old lady looked very happy, waved and said, "Boy Lin, you are back!"

Lin Xuan walked over and made a salute: "Old lady, why are you here?"

The old lady smiled: "I came here to see you, and I feel relieved when I see that you are fine. Oh, I also brought you some small gifts, which are special products from the previous family members."

Lin Xuan saw several boxes placed in the hall not far away, and said quickly: "Madam, you are too polite, you don't need to bring any gifts when you come to my place. By the way, where is Brother Zhao?"

Brother Zhao?

The old lady smiled kindly.

As for Lin Xuan, the first time she came here, she saw through Lin Xuan, knew that Lin Xuan had seen through her daughter's disguise, knew that Zhao Yuehan was a daughter, and she was still acting here.

The old lady smiled and said: "She went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to assist in the investigation. Someone used a thousand-step military bed crossbow, which is tantamount to treason and needs to be investigated in detail, so I am busy for the time being."

It turned out to be the case.

Indeed, Sima Zhao would attack and kill him with a thousand-step military bed crossbow, which is purely a taboo.

You know, this is Beiluo, the capital of heaven, at the foot of the emperor.

But, why would the Beiluo Forbidden Army say...

At this time, the old lady said: "Boy Lin, apart from seeing you, I have another purpose here, which is to eat your braised fish."

Yes, it's time for lunch.

And looking at the situation, the old lady may have been waiting for him here for a long time, and he really has to prepare lunch.

Lin Xuan stood up and said, "Madam, wait a moment, I'll go and make braised fish for you."

The old lady nodded: "Okay, okay, okay!"

[As expected of Lin boy, have you already guessed some clues? 】

Looking at Lin Xuan's back, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief. If she hadn't come today, this play would really be impossible to sing.

However, what happened today was hidden from her daughter Ji Handan, and there are more difficult things to worry about in the future.
