.       In the east wing of the other courtyard, Suo Wenhai was tied firmly to a Grand Master chair, and even his mouth was blocked. He placed beside the window, there was no light in the room. Through the window, with the faint starlight, you could clearly see the situation outside. Aside Suo Wenhai, a strong man pressed his waist knife with his hand. He was Su Can, the commander of the Four Princes' Mansions. Behind them, on the chair against the wall, there were more than a dozen royal palace guards sitting in a row. The waist knife in their hands were drawn out and placed flat on their knees. The dozen sat upright and could tell at a glance that they were extremely elite warriors.

This is the third day. Outside the courtyard is as quiet as before, Su Wenhai turned his head hard and looked at Su Can. The irony in his eyes was particularly clear, and the meaning was very clear. You have been wasting your efforts.

Su Can was very patient. Looking at Su Wenhai's proud eyes, Su Can smiled slightly. The Fourth Master said that the other party would come, and then the other party would definitely come.

Su Can's calmness and confidence made Su Wenhai feel inexplicably panic. Big Prince, I am loyal! You won't really want to destroy my mouth, right? So Wenhai actually regarded himself as a dead person in his heart, but he knew that being killed by the fourth prince and being killed by the eldest prince was a world of difference. If the eldest prince really sent someone, then it is certain that his family is over.

The whole yard was so quiet that he could hear his heartbeat. So Wenhai struggled to do so, and every night it was a torment for him.

With a light crack, it was said that it was like a dead leaf falling to the ground. Su Can's relaxed body suddenly collapsed and pressed one hand on Su Wenhai's body. The dozen royal guards behind him held the handle of the knife placed on their knees almost at the same time.

"Here you come!" Su Can leaned over and said proudly in Su Wenhai's ear. Su Wenhai lowered his head in pain, and tears flowed like a spring. His parents, wife, and children must have been ordered to go to the underworld.

Outside the courtyard, one passed by the wall and lay in the flower bed beside the wall. After a while, three other people crossed the wall one by one. The four people were divided into two groups, one ran towards the west wing, and the other went straight to the east wing where Suo Wenhai was imprisoned.

Su Can raised his fists, and more than a dozen guards stood up quietly, invisible, lifted Su Wenhai with the person and the chair, and Su Can retreated to the middle of the house, holding his waist knife in his hand.

The blade was inserted into the crack of the door, and gently pushed the latch, and the door latch slid to one side. The door was quietly opened, and two people slid in like fish outside, and they had not forgotten to cover the door with their backhands.

Su Can chuckled lightly, and the soft smile sounded like a bolt from the blue to the ears of the two assassins. The two turned around suddenly. Almost at the same time, a sound of fuzz in the room, a cluster of flames rose up, and several torches ignited the ground, illuminating the inside and outside the room.

There was a scream outside, and the yard was brightly lit in an instant, and the brigade of guards rushed out of the invisible place.

"I have been waiting for you for several days, but I finally came!" Su Can took a step forward with his knife and pointed directly at the other party, "Put down his weapons and disarm them and don't kill them!"

The two assassins who came in the door looked at each other and stepped on the ground. The man flew backwards and directly broke through the gate and landed in the yard. In his busy schedule, he shot several sleeve arrows and headed straight for Suo Wenhai who was slumped on the chair.

Su Can snorted coldly, the sword light flew and chased after him. Several sleeve arrows were shattered by his sword light, and more than a dozen guards also flew to chase him out.

The two assassins who rushed into the west wing were also forced to come out, and there were also ambushing the guards.

Dozens of waiting guards surrounded four assassins in the middle, and heads were still emerging above the courtyard wall and on the roof. This was the net of heaven and earth.

"Is it the robe in the Great Prince's Mansion? Su Can has been waiting for a long time. At this time, there is no need to hide his head and tail, right?" Su Cansheng held it in a slight smile, and after almost three nights, he saw that he was about to do his best, and his fatigue turned into pleasure.

In the yard, four assassins were crossing their chests, leaning against their backs. Although they were desperate in their eyes, they were not frightened. One of them said in a low voice: "I can't leave!"

"Yes, then be loyal!" another person continued.

Hearing their conversation, Su Can was startled, waved his waist and pounced on him, "Catch them!" he shouted.

The four assassins almost swung their swords while Su Can rushed up, but instead slashed at Su Can, they slashed at their faces. The muffled sounds sounded and several sharp steel knives fell on the faces. The force was so strong that they were shocking that they almost cut their heads in half.

The knife in Su Can's hand drooped weakly and rushed forward. The four assassins who fell to the ground had already been beyond recognition and could not recognize who it was.

Su Can, who was extremely upset, threw his waist knife to the ground with a despair, "Search, search them to see if they can find out any evidence." Although he said it, it was just a routine matter. Judging from the appearance of these people, they were quite experts, so how could they reveal clues on themselves?

Sure enough, seeing the body-searched guard looking up at him in disappointment, Su Can said annoyedly: "Take it aside, the Fourth Master will definitely come over in a while."

Suo Wenhai was loosened, his legs were covered with splints, but he still couldn't move. He covered his face with both hands and cried. Li Xiao sat coldly on his head, looking at Suo Wenhai until his crying gradually lowered, and then said: "So Wenhai, you saw it. Your family was harmed by yourself. Now, don't you want to say anything to me? You won't let your family die in vain, there is no value at all, right?"

Suo Wenhai looked up and looked at the fourth prince. His eyes first showed an extremely hatred expression. Slowly, hatred turned into powerless sorrow. In the hearts of these people, he and his family were like wild dogs on the street. Even if he died ten times, they would not be moved.

"Fourth Master, if I say it, will you let me go?" he whispered.

Li Xiao was slightly stunned, "Where do you want to go? First, if you show up openly now, my elder brother will definitely kill you at any cost. Second, after you confess, you will be an important witness and you will not be able to leave for a while."

"If the Fourth Master promises me to leave, then I will tell you everything I know." Suo Wenhai raised his head, "Four Master, now I am free of worries. At worst, I can't die. If the Fourth Master doesn't agree to me, I won't say a word."

Li Xiao let out a long sigh, "You trust me so much? You said that, I can still regret it!"

Suo Wenhai raised his face, "The Fourth Master is a person who wants to do great things. Jinkou language. If you agree to me, how can you regret it? There are so many guards here to testify. Isn't the Fourth Master afraid that they will feel upset?"

Li Xiao was furious, glanced at the guards in the room, thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "Okay, you said, I promise you that when your injury is healed, I will let you go. I can also send you to a safe place so that my brother can't find you."

"Since that's the case, I will thank the Fourth Master first!" Sovankai said.

"Then can you start now?" Li Xiao smiled.

In the imperial study room of Wenhua Hall, the supreme ruler of Dayue, Emperor Yongle, Li Jia, was half lying on the couch, with a yellow face and thin bones, and obviously his body was quite weak. On the side of the couch, Cao Yi, the prime minister of the dynasty. Under the couch, Xu Wei, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, was kneeling there, whispering about his trip to Lucheng this time.

While listening to Xu Wei's statement, Li Jia looked at Xu Wei's note. She couldn't see any expression on her yellow face. After reading the note, she handed it to Cao Yi, "Look at it!"

Cao Yi bowed and took it.

"You finished speaking?" Li Jia turned to look at Xu Wei.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Lord has finished speaking."

"For a woman, the entire village was destroyed. In your opinion, this matter was instructed by the boss, right?" Li Jia could not hear any feeling in his words.

"The emperor dare not!" Xu Wei kowtowed, "However, in this incident, the eldest prince's disciples did participate in it. Now what we know is Wu Siyuan and Suo Wenhai involved."

Li Jia snorted and turned to look at Cao Yi, "Prime Minister, what do you think about this?"

Cao Yi bowed slightly and said, "It is indeed a big deal to slaughter the village and destroy the households. The matter is indeed great, but after the official read the memorial of Mr. Xu, it would be a bit unfair if the matter was involved in the uncle's head."

"How do you say this?"

"The eldest prince has always lived in the capital, and this Lujia Village is three thousand miles away from Shangjing. How could the eldest prince know that there is such a woman in such a remote little place and sent people to snatch her from thousands of miles away. So, in my opinion, this is probably the eldest prince's disciples who make a fuss to please the eldest prince." Cao Yi said.

Li Jia nodded, "The Prime Minister's words are reasonable. These evil slaves are really doing everything they can to please their master. Such an anger between heaven and man can also be done. Xu Wei, you have worked hard for thousands of miles back and forth. Let's leave this case to Zhang Ang. After going down, tell the fourth brother that all the relevant prisoners will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice and Zhang Ang will be tried."

Xu Wei was shocked. Zhang Ang was the right minister of the Ministry of Justice. That was the old man. His Majesty didn't know that he handed over the case to Zhang Ang for trial. This was to calm down. He wanted to argue a few words, but when he looked up and saw the emperor's intimidating eyes, he couldn't help but feel dizzy, and he lowered his head and said, "Yes! The official is leaving."

Seeing Xu Wei retreating, Li Jia's face gradually calmed down, "Prime Minister, do you see the strangeness in this note?"

Cao Yi nodded.

"In Xu Wei's memorial, it is clear that the man who slaughtered the village and destroyed the households was the Mongol people, but the one who got the woman in the end was the eldest prince's disciple. But Xu Wei pretended to be deaf and dumb at this point, without mentioning it at all."

Li Jia snorted, "Do you think he is covering up for the boss?"

Cao Yi smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Fourth Master has not obtained a powerful certificate, so he concealed this section and refused to mention it. It can be imagined that if the Fourth Master attacks this matter, it will be a thunder blow."

Li Jia sighed, "Yes, it's really not worry-free. Cao Yi, you check this matter, why did the boss's disciple appear in Lucheng, and why could his disciples easily send Mengren? Xu Wei's memorial mentioned that those Mengren were the big tent soldiers of the royal court."

"yes!"

"But the Fourth Master?" Cao Yi hesitated.

"He has me there." Li Jia said: "Now there is no chaos in the court."

"The officials understand." Cao Yi understood the emperor's attitude towards this matter and felt at ease.
