~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chongde Hall, Zhongxing Hall, Liu Xiewei sat on the top, Liu Ai and Zhong Yao knelt down.

The wide hall echoed with Zhong Yao's calm voice: "... According to investigation, the assassin was two, one of Zhu Ao, whose courtesy name was Gongdao. He was a man from Hedong, and he was a traveler in the city. According to Zhang Nan, the governor of the Hebei tribute envoy, this man was a pseudonym Zhu Ji and mixed into the envoy group. Because he was proficient in equestrianism and was able to feed him properly, he regarded him as a groom."

Liu Xie hummed heavily: "No matter whether they notice it or...hum! People are their people, and something goes wrong, it is hard to blame!"

Zhong Yao paused, and after Emperor Rong finished speaking, he continued: "Another dwarf assassin, without a name or surname, cannot find out his hometown. He only knows that there were rumors about this person in Bingzhou. It is reported that this person has successfully assassinated many people because of his appearance, including the Anyi Order of Hedong County and the former Liao General."

Liu Xie waited for a while, but there was no text. He said angrily: "This is over? You only found these? What happened to the prince's servant, Zhong Ji, Wu Qi and others?"

The censor Liu Ai coughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, according to the recent investigation by the eminent officials, the two people behind the scenes are the most suspected: one is the general Yuan Benchu, and the other is the governor of Yanzhou Cao Mengde. Prince Fu, Zong Ji, Wu Qi and others are among the best disciples of Yuan's family, and they have close contact with Yuan. Therefore..."

"Wait." Liu Xie said strangely, "How come he has something to do with Cao Mengde again?"

Zhong Yao said in a deep voice: "After going to Hedong to hear the false support from Sili, the family members of Zhu Gongdao, had already gone to Yan and entrusted to Cao's family to shelter."

Liu Xie was stunned for a while and said, "If it were done by Cao, what are the benefits for him?"

Liu Ai said lightly: "Ignate the Dragon Wolf Army. Attack Yuan to relieve the danger of Guandu."

"Just guess?"

"Yes, it's just speculation at the moment."

The palace fell into silence.

Shaoqing, Liu Xie said in a difficult tone: "There is no evidence, so this theory should not be leaked, so as not to cause turmoil in the court."

"promise."

As soon as the two ministers were ordered by the leader, a loud report from Xiaohuangmen came from outside the hall: "The envoy reported that the Hebei tribute envoy knocked on the palace and resigned."

Liu Xie suddenly felt a little angry: "What should I do? If this is really done by Yuan, I can't explain to the princess!"

Liu Ai rolled his eyes and looked at the top, as if flowers and plants grew on the rafters; Zhong Yao lowered his eyebrows and looked like ants appeared in the palace. No one dared to answer this. This is something that offended people from both ends.

Liu Xie felt stuffy in his chest, and he felt annoyed, and he shook his sleeves: "Get back."

...

Chengnan Inn. The servants of the Hebei tribute mission were collecting cows and horses, carrying luggage, large boxes and small bags, and piled up carts. Although Yuan Xi came to pay tribute, Yuan had too many old friends in Luoyang, and one person gave back a little gift. It was enough to fill their empty carts with all of them.

Suddenly, a "clang" sounded a heavy object landing on the ground in the west wing, and the servants were stunned for a moment. All their actions were frozen. Even Zhang Nan, who was patrolling around the chariot and horses, stopped and looked at it with his knife.

At this time, a waiter's head was poked out from the entrance to the west wing, and he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, the servant cleaned up the things and failed for a moment..."

So, the frozen crowd became lively again.

In the west wing, Xu You's face was swollen and purple, his eyes were so angry that hedgehogs were scattered, his hair was wide open, and his forehead was leaping blue veins, showing that he was extremely angry. At his feet were broken pottery, porcelain, bronze, and even precious jade fragments.

Of course, this was not broken by the servant, otherwise nine lives would have been crushed.

Xu You was holding a letter from Yecheng in his hand. The news in the letter was like a bolt from the blue. His family in Yecheng was arrested on charges of accepting bribes and abuse of power. By the time the letter was sent, two concubines and a young son died in prison.

It is not difficult to imagine that if he was confused and returned to Ye with the tribute mission in a daze, what would be waiting for him? All the mansions were caught in one go, would he be left alone?

"Examine————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"Bang!"

The waiter in the west wing poked his head out again, his face froze: "The servant... the servant failed..."

The servants looked at each other and thought that this servant would probably be cooked.

"...The arresting officer is like a wolf, the prison guard is like a tiger, the youngest son is shocked, I am humiliated. You don't want to come back? You don't want to come back!" Xu You's mind kept surging with fragments of letters from home, and his blood was pouring out. He grabbed everything with his hands, but found nothing to throw away. Suddenly, he met a hard object beside him, and he couldn't think of it and pulled it down and smashed it hard.

Bang! This heavy object smashed the broken ceramics on the ground into even more slag.

The waiter poked his head out again, and saw busy figures, no one looked back, so the waiter silently retracted.

Xu You gasped, his hands were still shaking, and gradually, trembling stopped. His eyes were fixed on the heavy object that had been pulled off from his body - it was a black sac, something rolled out from the sac, as big as a fist, yellow and bright.

Black ribbon and bronze seal, official seal.

"Hu Bugui! Hu Bugui! Am I going to return for this thousand stone salary?" Xu You's fist became tighter and tighter, his eyebrows were rising higher and higher, and ten thousand grass mud horses in his chest rumbled and stepped on them.

He returned to Yecheng, was sentenced to be punished, and even was humiliated as a prisoner. This was even more uncomfortable than killing him. But is all this worth it?

No! I, Xu You, will never be humiliated. If you are humiliated, you would rather die!

When a man is humiliated, he will be beaten with his head; when a gentleman is humiliated, he will be rewarded ten times. How can he return it? Let him fail! Let his complacent turn into depression! Let his confidence turn into panic! Let his sneering smile turn into crying! But if this is the case, it is worth it no matter what the price is paid!

At this moment, Xu You made a major decision - defecting!

Unfortunately, if Ma Han hadn't been hit by his evil plan, this was the best partner to surrender. Now, he had no choice but to surrender. He could help this person's predicament. He believed that when he appeared in front of the other side, he would be greeted with his character and demeanor.

Xu Youteng stood up, and when the waiter thought the master could not find anything and wanted to throw it away, he was so scared that he trembled. But what he heard was a tepid voice: "Clean clean and pack your luggage."

...

On the eighth day of the eighth month, Yuan Xi went to the gate to say goodbye to the emperor. The emperor was allowed to resign, but there was no way. Unless he turned against Yuan Shao, there was no reason to detain his son as a qualifier. Does Liu Xie dare? Does Yang Biao dare? Do all officials dare? Don’t! Then I’m embarrassed, they patted their butt and left.

On the ninth day of the eighth month, at noon, after a day and a half, this tribute delegation returned home with a full load came to Mengjin Du. Pingyin Order had already prepared a large ferry for this delegation.

At the beginning of Shen Shi, Yuan Xi and Xin Ping boarded the largest ferry... Uh, yes. There were only two people, and one Xu You was missing.

Yuan Xi stood on the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back, feeling the strong wind coming to his face. He said to Xin Jing beside him: "This Xu Ziyuan said that there was an urgent matter in the mansion, so he only brought two followers back lightly, and did not go with us brigades."

Xin Ping disagreed: "What urgent matter can he have? It's not that his beloved young son is sick again."

Yuan Xi said, "Maybe that's the case, this is similar to Ah Weng."

Yuan Xi and Xin Ping did not expect that the two of them would come true. However, the nature is worse and the consequences are more serious.

Yuan Xi was blowing the river breeze, feeling comfortable all over. His arms were wide open and he laughed: "By the time, that person should die at this time, right?"

Xin Jing said: "If the young master's test is correct, that person will definitely die."

Yuan Xi shrugged her eyebrows and sighed, "I really want to attend his funeral..."

At this moment, Zhang Nan's voice suddenly came from behind: "The ship owner stopped, what's the point?"

Yuan and Xin both looked back and saw the owner of the ferry coming quickly. When they reached a distance of ten steps, they were ordered to stop by Zhang Nan. Generally speaking, Zhang Nan would not allow those who are unknown to appear within thirty steps of the second young master. Unfortunately, this is the ferry, with a narrow hull, and the entire boat may not be able to be thirty steps long. This warning distance can only be shortened.

The ship owner was about to say something, but suddenly he flew up and rushed towards Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan was very surprised. He had no time to draw his sword, so he could only support him with his hands, trying to push the man away. Just as he pressed his palms against the owner's chest and was about to exert force, a bloody sword tip appeared on the other party's chest, and the man and the sword hit Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan and the ship owner got together and were unable to get up again.

The ship owner fell down and a man appeared behind him. He was dressed in a helm suit, very young, with a long sword in his hand dripping blood. The next moment, the long sword stained with the blood of the ship owner and Zhang Nan stabbed Yuan Xi like blood lightning.

The sword light flashed, and Yuan Xi's hand holding the sword suddenly stopped, and his whole body's movements were frozen.

In contrast to Yuan Xi, who was as impatient as a detached body, the assassin acted as fast as a rabbit. With one blow, he jumped above Yuan Xi, with a single foot on his head, and took advantage of the momentum to rise up, like a carp leaping on the waves, jumping into the river with a thump.

From the appearance of the ship owner, to the flying pounce of Zhang Nan, to the sword at Zhang Nan, to the assassination of Yuan Xi... the whole process was only two breaths, and the guards who were close to each other were not even able to make a basic reaction.

It was not until the assassins entered the water that they woke up like dreams and rushed to the side of the ship. But they saw the waves surging and the turbid waves were empty. Where could the assassins be traced?

The waiters on both sides shouted in horror: "Second Young Master! Second Young Master!"

Yuan Xi refused to respond, so he raised his hand mechanically and touched the neck. As soon as he pressed his hand, a bunch of blood spurted out from his right neck, which poured the waiters on both ends and ends...

The boat was filled with exclamations: "No, the second young master was stabbed!"

Xin Ping, who was standing beside him, was also stiff all over and his heart was cold. Although he was just a glance, he could see clearly that the assassin was seen at the General Cavalry's Mansion that day, the healthy servant who was carrying the wine jar... What does this mean?
