Fifty-four, almost swept away
Fifty-four, almost lost the English name
Meixiang Xiaoyuan suddenly caught fire, and the Oolong Iron Ridge Arrow that broke through the air. The servant Laifu disappeared mysteriously, which made Zhou Xuan and Judge Fan and others worried. Although they knew that this was instructed by Wei Bo, the governor of Zhennan, they could not ask for people from Zhennan Army without evidence, so they had to find out the spy thief hidden in the Fenghua military residence as soon as possible. The biggest suspicion was the sixty soldiers stationed in the capital. It was obviously impossible to interrogate these sixty soldiers one by one.
At three o'clock in the morning, the hall was dark, and only four fools stood behind Zhou Xuan and Judge Fan with a red lantern. Sixty soldiers from the palace were arranged on both sides of the hall, silent.
Zhou Xuan's slow voice echoed in the hall: "The spy who set fire to the west building of Meixiang Xiaoyuan, the spy who kidnapped the servant Lai Fu is among you 60 people. If you voluntarily confess your guilt, I can spare him and send him back to his hometown in Jiangzhou for twenty years. I will not pursue it anymore. If you are lucky and try to get away with it, when I pull him out, hehe——”
Zhou Xuan didn't say how to punish him, and sneered twice. The laughter seemed quite gloomy and terrifying in this dark and empty hall. Even the four fools standing behind him felt in their hearts.
"Anyone willing to surrender?"
Zhou Xuan asked three times, but no one answered the sixty soldiers on both sides of the residence hall.
Zhou Xuan said slowly: "It's great. I won't cry until I see the coffin. I thought I couldn't pull him out. I didn't think about who I, the Marquis of Xinzhou, is. The Prince of the Eastern Palace, said that I have the wisdom of Guan Zhong and Zhuge. In fact, this Marquis has the ability to be unpredictable to ghosts and gods."
Zhou Xuan boasted of himself shamelessly. With a wave of his hand, the two Fenghua navy soldiers pulled a piece of white cloth, and Zhou Xuan had an extra goose feather fan in his hand, shaking the feather fan in his hand, making him look like a Zhou Lang style in the Red Cliff.
"I have the art of asking God to distinguish loyalty and treacherous. God will write a big word "sin" on the spy's back. Look--"
Zhou Xuan fanned the white cloth a few times. The word "God" strangely appeared on the snow-white cloth, and the sound of air-conditioning in the hall was shocked.
These soldiers of the palace have heard of the rumors about Marquis Zhou. They were from Australia. They were originally a son-in-law of a minor official in the Medical Office. Many people recognized him when they were in Jiangzhou. It was Zhou Xuan who rose to the top of the list and became Marquis of Xinzhou in a short time and was about to enter Jixian Hall to be a Grand Secretary. This is definitely protected by gods. It is said that kings, princes, generals and ministers respond to the stars, and they all have their own unique characteristics. When they saw him today, it was true that Marquis Zhou slapped him for a few times, and the word "God" appeared out of thin air. It was so amazing!
Zhou Xuan said in that mysterious tone: "You stand three feet away from the wall and don't move. After the lights are turned off, the gods will write the word "sin" on the spy's back. Be careful, don't move without any action."
The lantern in Sichi's hand suddenly went out, and the hall fell into a heavy darkness, with only the nervous and depressing breathing sounds.
The sixty soldiers of the palace felt a gust of wind blowing behind them, making their backs chill, as if there were gods standing behind them.
In fact, they didn't know that it was the four mysterious people running past them at high speed.
Zhou Xuan's voice sounded in the darkness: "Don't act without action, stand in place, and the gods will start writing the word "sin"."
After a while, Zhou Xuan slammed his palms, and the lights suddenly appeared in the hall. More than 20 Fenghua navy soldiers lit up various lamps. The sixty soldiers wearing blue round-necked and slit clothes stood solemnly on both sides, as if they were very abide by the rules and did not move.
Zhou Xuan took a deep breath, and he was not sure. He was betting again. The spy was afraid of ghosts and gods, and couldn't hold back, and slowly said: "Turn around, look out your back, and see if the gods found the spy?"
Sixty soldiers of the mansion turned around and saw a white mark appearing in the two rows of blue clothes.
Zhou Xuan was overjoyed, and with a slight mouth, he rushed up to two naval soldiers and pulled out the mansion soldier with a white mark on his back.
Judge Fan and Gu Changshi shouted: "Shan Hu, it turns out it's you!"
The soldier named Shan Hu shouted in panic: "It's not me, it's not me!"
Zhou Xuan said loudly: "How can a god wrongly accuse people? There is a word 'sin' written on your back!"
The rest of the soldiers turned around and looked at the thief who was caught. They only saw the white lime on his back, but did not see the word "sin".
Shan Hu was cut with his hands behind his back and couldn't see his back. He suddenly shouted in horror: "Why is the god who only caught me!"
Zhou Xuan and Judge Fan looked at each other and thought to himself: "Good guy, there are more than one thief."
Zhou Xuan said: "God knows that you are not the only one of the inner thieves, but for the sake of your elders and younger people, you will give you a chance to atone for your sins and let you point out the rest of the inner thieves."
The single tiger kneeling on the ground was as dark as the face, trembling all over, and gasping with his mouth open. Hundreds of people in the hall looked at his mouth, waiting for him to identify with the conspiracy.
Zhou Xuan asked: "Shan Hu, are you unwilling to admit it? If you want to take the death penalty alone, you really let down the good intentions of the gods."
Shan Hu collapsed and shouted: "Wu Daqing, Ling Fengping, and the two of them."
Two people jumped out of the ranks of the mansion soldiers on both sides of the hall and shouted: "Marty, Judge Fan, the villain is wronged, Dan Hu is clinging to him."
Four navy soldiers had already been escorted and took down Wu Daqing and Ling Fengping.
Seeing that Wu Daqing and Ling Fengping had no white seals on their backs, Zhou Xuan was very angry and cursed in his heart: "Grandma, if it weren't for Dan Hu's indifference and putting his back on the wall, then my wise and wise Marquis Zhou would have lost his reputation!" He shouted loudly: "Left and right, let Wu Daqing and Ling Fengping be the two of them hold their mouths for twenty."
The navy soldiers hated these spies and fought very hard. Twenty bamboo batches were beaten, their cheeks were swollen and bloody, and their teeth were broken several times, and they couldn't even speak.
Shan Hu watched his two accomplices be beaten in fear, his hands and feet trembled constantly.
Zhou Xuan said: "Did Shan Hu see that? This is the favor of God to you. Come and confess, where is Lai Fu now?"
Shan Hu said in a trembling voice: "Hurry Master, Lai Fu has been taken away by General Wei."
"Huangfu Jixun!" Zhou Xuan felt a stern. He thought it was Wei Bo's move, but he didn't expect it was Huangfu Jixun. "This bastard had a cup of tea with me the day before yesterday, but he wanted to kill me behind my back! That's right, Wei Bo had only arrived in Jinling for a few days, and it was impossible for him to bribe the Fenghua Army. Huangfu Jixun was different. He was in charge of the capital army, had a high position and was powerful, and it was not easy to coerce and seduce a few soldiers."
Zhou Xuan said to the remaining fifty-seven soldiers: "Everyone, the traitor has been arrested. Everyone will return to their posts and strictly prevent the traitor from entering. In three days, each of this marquis will be rewarded with 5 taels of silver."
After the troops retreated, Zhou Xuan said to Judge Fan and Chief Gu: "Wei Bo asked Huangfu Jixun to help him, kidnap Lai Fu, and tried to make a fuss and defeated Wei Jue's death on my head. Lord Fan, Lord Gu, be prepared, I will sue the emperor tomorrow."
Zhou Xuan asked Shan Hu in detail how he colluded with General Wei to abduct Lai Fu, and sighed: "Lai Fu's flesh-hearted pain is inevitable, and it's a bad thing to be blamed."
The four cynical men have been with Lai Fu for a long time and have a friendship. They angrily said, "Master, I will go and save Lai Fu."
Zhou Xuanzhe said: "Don't take risks. Huangfu Jixun must be very strict in defense now. It is not good to be alerted to the snake. Lai Fu is likely to have been delivered to Wei Bo. It's almost dawn now, so you accompany me to the East Palace to see the prince."
Zhou Xuan asked someone to take the Oolong Iron Ridge arrow, gritted his teeth, and used the arrows to scrape a blood mark on one side of his left neck, and then asked Sichi to bandage him.
Seeing Sichi squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Get some bitter tricks to defeat Huangfu Jixun. Wow, it hurts so much. I just scraped too hard!"
Siqi smiled and couldn't help but be curious and asked, "The master had slapped the white cloth a few times before and the word "God" appeared. What kind of magic is this?"
Zhou Xuan said with his ears: "I won't tell anyone about this, I will tell you one, because--"
The four illegitimate listened attentively, but Zhou Xuan said next: "—Because I am a god, haha."
Si idiot gave him a blank look and admired the master in his heart. He was able to catch the inner thief in a short time. This attacking technique was so superb. Did he understand it from Go tactics?
At the beginning of the Mao hour, it was dawn, and Zhou Xuan and Judge Fan, Sizi, and two soldiers from the palace escorted the Shan Hu to the Forbidden City. As soon as the gate of the Forbidden City opened, Zhou Xuan and others went straight to the East Palace.
Li Jian was practicing swordsmanship in the back garden, and the prince still wanted to do something. He was not as indulged in the voice and expression as his father Li Yu. He usually had strict requirements on himself. He practiced swordsmanship for half an hour every day, read history for one hour, and practiced calligraphy for half an hour...
When he heard that the Marquis of Xinzhou was asking for a meeting in the morning, Li Jian quickly came out to meet him. He saw the white cotton bandaged around Zhou Xuan's neck, and there was a faint bloodshot. He was shocked: "Cousin Xuan, what's wrong with you?" He rushed forward to support Zhou Xuan's hand, as if Zhou Xuan was about to be unable to support him and fell to the ground.
After hearing Zhou Xuan talk about what happened last night, Li Jian's face turned pale and he said angrily: "I'm going to ask Huangfu Jixun for someone. If I don't hand over my blessings, I will never give up with him."
Zhou Xuan said: "Your Highness, don't be angry. I'm going to the Qinzheng Hall for an exam soon. Please ask Your Majesty to come forward and let Huangfu Jixun hand over the person. Even if you can't defeat Huangfu Jixun today, you have to give him some color. He wants to kill me. Is it necessary to hate me so much?"
Li Jian said guiltily: "Cousin Xuan, this is all because of me. You and I are like brothers. Huangfu Jixun is a party of Li Kun. If you can't win you over, you will naturally hate you."
Zhou Xuan sighed and said, "It's not easy to live in Jinling. If I don't clean up these monsters and monsters, I dare to move my family here!"
At the time of Chen, the Qinzheng Hall of Daxing Palace.
Li Yu was on the throne high, and the Empress also came to the court today to see her nephew Zhou Xuan Dazhan's talent and be the Grand Secretary of Jixian Hall. Li Jian was with his mother.
Standing on both sides of the Danban were Wei Xuan, the minister of the disciple, Qi Zhang, the minister of the Central Secretariat, the Grand Tutor, the Grand Sikong, the Grand Situ, the King of Wei Xu Mian, and three other three other three other such as the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy and the Grand Secretary of the Jixian Palace.
Zhou Xuan came on stage and fell to the Danban, saying sadly: "Your Majesty, Empress, I can come to Qinzheng Hall today and I will all ask you for your Majesty and Empress's blessings. Otherwise, I will die unjustly!" As he said that, he straightened his neck, revealing the bandaged white cotton. He was wearing a robe today, in order to make his neck tall and eye-catching.
Xiao Zhouhou asked anxiously: "Why is Nephew Xuan?"
Zhou Xuan took out the erotic iron-ridge arrow from his sleeve and said, "It was this arrow that rubbed me through my neck. Ruochen flashed slowly and now he died of a bad life." He immediately explained what happened last night in detail, and also said that he had found out the traitor.
The whole palace was in an uproar, and the three dukes, two provinces, and six great scholars were all surprised.
Zhou Xuan said: "Everything I said is true. Judge Fan of Fenghua Army is waiting for summons outside the palace gate, and there is also the Shan Hu who was bribed by General Guard. Please ask His Majesty to send them in and ask questions."
Judge Fan came to Qinzheng Hall to pay homage to Emperor Li Yu. The soldier of the mansion, Shan Hu, tied his hands behind his back and knelt on the ground under the hostage of two Jinwu Guards.
Li Yu asked Shan Hu a few words, and Shan Hu answered tremblingly, which was exactly the same as what Zhou Xuan said.
Zhou Xuan said indignantly: "Your Majesty, Empress, General Wei has no grudges or grudges with me, why do you hate me so much? I am puzzled. I heard that the day after the Zhennan Army Wei Du escort entered the capital, I didn't have time to see Your Majesty, so I visited General Wei first. Could it be because of Wei Jue's death? Your Majesty had said to Wei Bo in person last time, asking Wei Bo not to bother with Wei Jue's affairs. It seems that Wei Bo is completely in his ears!"
Li Yu's face was as deep as water, and he hurriedly announced that Wei Bo and Huangfu Jixun entered the palace to meet him.
Huangfu Jixun hurried to Qinzheng Hall. When he saw Zhou Xuan and the mansion soldier tied up against him, he was shocked. He did not recognize this mansion soldier. Of course, his dignified general of guard could not contact such a soldier in person, but obviously, the mansion soldier was bought by his subordinates. He never expected Zhou Xuan to pull out the traitor so quickly!
Huangfu Jixun knelt down and asked, "What's wrong with your Majesty summoning me?"
"Wait until Wei Bo comes to ask questions together."
Li Yu said coldly, he was a little angry. He was most annoyed by these fights and killings. Huangfu Jixun and Wei Bo were so arrogant to murder the queen's nephew under his nose!
Wei Bozheng secretly examined Lai Fu at the Zhennan Military Residence in Taoye Watanabe, hung up and asked Wei Jue's cause of death.
Lai Fu was naked with his upper body, his whip marks all over his body, and he gritted his teeth and didn't speak. He encouraged himself in his heart: "Lai Fu, wait a little longer, and my son-in-law will come to save you, and my son-in-law will definitely come to save you. Lai Fu, hold on, at most, the time for a cup of tea, the fourth son-in-law will come."
Lai Fu endured the pain for nearly two hours after cups of tea.
Wei Bo was furious and drank his mind to take the red soldering iron. He wanted to burn Lai Fu's eyes blind.
Lai Fu was frightened and shouted: "Son-in-law, come and save me, I can't stand it!"
Wei Bo smiled grimly and said, "No one can save you. If you want to keep your eyes, tell me honestly how my son Wei Jue was killed by Zhou Xuan."
When Lai Fu saw the soldering iron that was so close to him emitted a terrifying heat, he tied his tongue and said, "Let's wait, let's think about how Wei Jue died?"
When Wei Bo saw Lai Fu speak, he signaled his subordinates to take some of the soldering irons away. He walked up to him and asked, "Yes, how did my son Wei Jue die?"
Lai Fu said: "Aren't it killed by a y-woman named Ningning?"
Wei Bo was furious and was about to kill Wu Bian to burn Lai Fu's left eye. Someone outside the secret room shouted: "Protector, Protector, Your Majesty urgently summoned the Protector into the palace. There was a big deal in the Qinzheng Hall."
Wei Bo glared at Lai Fu hatefully and cursed: "I'll deal with you later. If you don't believe me, I can't pry open the mouth of your slave!"
Wei Bo came to Qinzheng Hall and saw that the atmosphere was not right. Huangfu Jixun knelt there. The emperor didn't ask him to calm down, so he didn't dare to get up.
Li Yu said sternly: "Wei Qing, the Marquis of Xinzhou has nothing to do with Wei Jue's death. Wei Jue was killed by a woman named Lin Ning. Why did you still hold the Marquis of Xinzhou to death and set fire to hurt people, and even kidnap the Marquis of Xinzhou? Do you still have the ruling power of the country's law in your eyes?"
Wei Bo was shocked by the emperor's harsh speech as soon as he arrived. Seeing Huangfu Jixun kneeling beside him, he didn't know what he said. The emperor was so angry and kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have been at the Taoye Ferry House these days and have not gone out. What Your Majesty said is so frightened."
Huangfu Jixun spoke: "How can Your Majesty severely blame the ministers for the one-sided remarks of the Marquis of Xinzhou? It seems unfair."
Li Yu said angrily: "One-sided words? The fire in the Fenghua military residence was set by the Marquis of Xinzhou himself? The arrow wound on his neck was shot by him? General Huangfu, I ask you, do you recognize this mansion soldier?"
Huangfu Jixun didn't even look at Shan Hu, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, I don't recognize him."
Zhou Xuan said: "Your Majesty, let General Huangfu and Wei Dupu are here for a while. Please ask His Highness the Crown Prince to join the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple to go to the General Guard's Mansion to ask someone. General Huangfu may not recognize this mansion soldier, but his subordinates must have recognized this mansion soldier. It is impossible for General Huangfu to personally ask this mansion soldier to be the inner supporter."
