Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Two Secret Letters

Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Two Secret LettersAt dusk, Xu Qiyan waited for Wei Yuan who came back from the palace.

The spacious and luxurious carriage drove into the government office. Wei Yuan stepped down from the carriage on a small ladder. Xu Qiyan approached him eagerly and whispered, "Duke Wei..."

Wei Yuan, with gray hair on his temples, glanced at him and said as he walked, "Prince Yu wrote a blood letter, suing the Earl of Pingyuan, the Minister of Revenue, and the Minister of War for murdering the royal family."

Xu Qiyan had learned about Prince Yu's operation from Princess Huaiqing and nodded, "Your Majesty has handed it over to the three courts for trial?"

"No!" Wei Yuan shook his head, "Your Majesty's anger is no less than Prince Yu's. He can't wait that long, so he immediately wrote an imperial edict, asking the Supervisor to enter the palace and confront the three. At that time, there were also the dignitaries in the court."

"What was the result?" Xu Qiyan already knew the result, but he still wanted to ask.

Wei Yuan sighed, "Those who plotted against the royal family will be exterminated. The notice will be issued tomorrow morning at the latest. The Liang Party is finished."

Exterminate three clans... Xu Qiyan was slightly moved.

The so-called exterminate three clans refers to the three clans of the father, the three clans of the mother, and the three clans of the wife, which can be classified as capital punishment. It is second only to the extermination of the nine clans for treason.

"Alas, I'm afraid there will be a lot of heads to be killed tomorrow." Xu Qiyan also sighed, not knowing whether to applaud or feel sorry for those innocent people who were implicated.

Although Pingyuan Bo's family was exterminated, compared with the extermination of the three clans, at least dozens or hundreds of people will die. Those relatives within the three clans of Pingyuan Bo will not escape.

The same is true for the other two.

"Liang Party?" Xu Qiyan asked in confusion.

Wei Yuan nodded: "The Liang Party is the biggest beneficiary in the struggle for Prince Yu to withdraw from the power stage. They are headed by Zhang Feng, the Minister of War, and Sun Mingzhong, the Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue. Pingyuan Bo joined the Liang Party last year."

"Duke Wei, then, then my business..." Xu Qi'an whispered. The court parties are too far away from him, and Xu Qi'an is unwilling to accept it.

He only cares about his future and his life.

"No hurry, Your Majesty is angry, and it would be bad to mention this matter at this time." Wei Yuan shook his head.

That's the truth... Xu Qi'an nodded, said goodbye to Wei Yuan, and walked towards home in the afterglow of the evening.

...

At dusk, in a room.

A white hand holding a pen wrote on the letter paper:

Dear Master:

The Sangpo case has come to an end. The Minister of Rites once said that cooperating with us is like seeking the skin of a tiger. Hey, he is really right.

A year ago, I accidentally witnessed the encounter between Princess Pingyang and Monk Henghui. Henghui was not dead, but his soul was full of resentment. I refined him into a puppet and kept him by my side.

I told you about this, and you said that the opportunity had come. The year of the imperial examination was the beginning of our plan for a great cause of 500 years.

Please forgive me for my disrespect. I was not optimistic. The Supervisor of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau and the Taoist Master of the Human Sect were both powerful people in the world.

But in this incident, the two chose to stand aside out of some tacit understanding... I praise you again, your wisdom is unparalleled in the world. Searᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Emperor Yuan Jing was not positive about this case, otherwise he would not have appointed a Tongluo as the chief officer. All this was within your expectations.

But that Tongluo was extremely powerful and had a keen sense of smell.

During the investigation, he discovered your arrival. He came to the Jiaofang Division several times to spy on the evil spirit. I would like to ask, did you do it on purpose?

In addition, other night watchmen also secretly investigated.

I had no choice but to push Huiji out to avoid the disaster. I know she is from your clan, please forgive me for taking the initiative.

Don't worry, the things have been handed over to the person who deserves it.

I am very sorry that all the clues of the tax silver case have been cut off... I have contacted Zhou Li many times. He is indeed just a dandy boy with a little cleverness, and he is not aware of

everything his father Zhou Shilang has planned.

Here, I want to report four things to the master:

1: During the escort of the tax silver, Zhou Shilang had many opportunities to take action, which would be safer, but he chose to embezzle 150,000 tax silver in the capital.

This is really puzzling. Zhou Shilang is a smart man, but he made a foolish move. I think there must be a reason.

Unfortunately, Zhou Shilang "died accidentally" during his exile, and no one can give me an

answer.

2: According to reliable information, Zhou Shilang has swallowed more than one million silver taels in the past 20 years, but when Zhou's house was raided, the court only found a few thousand taels of silver.

Where did the silver go?

3: Through the secret investigation of the Si Tian Jian, it was found that the youngest disciple of the Supervisor was called Chu Caiwei, a very beautiful and interesting girl. Of course, she was far from being comparable to the noble and beautiful master.

What I want to say is that the sorcerer of the Si Tian Jian called her the little sister, or... the sixth sister. And the direct disciples of the Supervisor were only five.

4: The people of the Wu Shen Cult killed Zhao County Magistrate of Taikang County, the official who discovered the saltpeter mine.

Yes, the wizards of the Wu Shen Cult intervened in this matter, and they could have used a more clever and covert way to kill people, but chose to kill in a dream.

It is not difficult to infer that they tried to mislead the court, throw dirty water on the King of Zhenbei, and alienate the relationship between Emperor Yuan Jing and the King of Zhenbei.

Finally, there is a little thing that is difficult to say. I fell in love with a man, a man I shouldn't love. I would like to ask the master to have mercy and reshape my body for me.

--Servant who will always be loyal to you

Dear Sir:

I am primarily responsible for the failure of the tax case. The death of Minister Zhou was

purely due to his stupidity. His self-righteous son led to the failure of a series of plans.

....

As you expected, the plan of the Wan Yao Kingdom was successful, and they released the seal under Sangpo.

I will describe in detail the intelligence I have gained in the past year in the letter. About a year ago, the struggle between the nobles and the civil officials entered a white-hot stage. Prince Yu represented the entire noble power and served as the Minister of War with the tacit approval of Emperor Yuan Jing. He was only one step away from entering the cabinet. During this process, his legitimate daughter, Princess Pingyang, fell in love with a monk from Qinglong Temple. The two decided to elope and asked for help from their old friend, the legitimate son of Pingyuan Bo...

Because they coveted Princess Pingyang's beauty, the three playboys planned to humiliate her and then kill them to silence them, but they encountered fierce resistance from the other side, and Princess Pingyang swallowed a hairpin and committed suicide...

The spy planted by the Wan Yao Kingdom in the capital of Dafeng accidentally discovered this scene. She used the corpse Gu to refine Henghui into a walking corpse puppet, mastered this

secret, and lay dormant.

Dafeng launched a new round of Beijing inspections, and the open and secret struggles between the parties intensified. It must be said that Emperor Yuan Jing was a terrible emperor, and his imperial mind was perfect.

But he was not a good emperor. In his eyes, there was only power and immortality.

The spy of the Wan Yao Kingdom held this secret in his hand and quietly looked for partners in the capital. In the end, she chose the Minister of Rites and the forces behind him as her target.

Because it happened that during that period, saltpeter mines were discovered in Dahuang Mountain in Taikang County, which was exactly what the remnants of the Wan Yao Kingdom

needed.

No one in the world could sneak into Sangpo and destroy the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple silently under the noses of Jianzheng and Renzong Daoshou, but gunpowder could help them accomplish this task.

The forces behind the Minister of Rites have always been eager to take charge of the government and suppress all parties. As one of the roadblocks, the Liang Party is of course also on their cleanup list.

The two sides hit it off and reached an agreement. The Minister of Rites helped the remnants

of the Wan Yao Kingdom to blow up the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple and release the seal at the bottom of the temple.

The remnants of the Wan Yao Kingdom pushed Henghui to the front and guided the night watchmen to investigate the disappearance of Princess Pingyang.

In order to get rid of his own suspicion, the Minister of Rites used a hidden man, Zhou Chixiong, a hundred households of the Jinwu Guard, to send gunpowder into the imperial city through him and bury it under the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple. And killed nine people from the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Rites, and the palace to confuse the public and mislead the chief officials of the three yamen.

They even wanted to use gunpowder to frame the Minister of Works of the Qi Party, but unfortunately they underestimated Xu Qian'an, the Tongluo.

Zhou Chixiong, a centurion of the Jinwu Guard, deliberately killed Liu Han, a small flag

officer, to attract the attention of the night watchman and the government office. During the other party's questioning, he used a magic weapon to block the air-watching technique, guiding the night watchman to turn his attention to the Qinglong Temple to discover the elopement case of Monk Henghui, and follow the clues to explore the party dispute a year

ago.

This move was extremely wonderful, and I felt that it was not something that a mere centurion could do. There is no doubt that it was the daughter of the demon king who made

the move personally.

This is the general course of events. I still have two points that I have not yet found out:

One: I have worked hard, but I still haven't found out who the sealed object under the Sangpo

is. But one thing is clear, it has a lot to do with Buddhism. The purpose of the remnants of the Wan Yao Kingdom releasing it has not been found out.

2: The attitude of the Supervisor is really unpredictable. If it is the purpose of Emperor Yuan

Jing to open the city ban, I can guess a little, but the Supervisor's mind is beyond my ability to

guess.

He obviously did nothing, but I always feel that everything is within his expectations and

control.

--End

Xu Qian'an returned home, had dinner, and told his second uncle about the progress of the Sangpo case and the truth of the Pingyang County Princess case.

Second Uncle Xu was stunned and didn't eat for a long time. He murmured: "These scholars

are really worse than each other. Although I killed a lot of people in the past, compared with them, I was very open and aboveboard.

"Ning Yan, remember not to talk to scholars in the future. If you can use a knife, don't hesitate, otherwise you won't even know when you will be killed. "

Xu Qian'an nodded, thinking, have you forgotten that you have a son who is a scholar?

After dinner, he teased Xu Lingyin and talked to Lingyue, and was about to return to his own

courtyard.

"Ahem." Auntie coughed hypocritically, looked aside, and said, "I asked someone to make a

dress for you, and Lingyue will send it to you later. Whether it fits or not... I don't care. Anyway, you can wear it or not."

"Hey, did the sun rise from the west today?" Xu Qian'an looked out in surprise.

Auntie gritted her teeth, and one word popped out of her ruddy mouth: "Get lost."

Xu Qiyan immediately rolled back to his own courtyard.

The moment he pushed open the door, he suddenly felt a palpitation. It was not the kind of

palpitation that came from the fragments of the Earth Book, but the kind of palpitation that made his hair stand on end and his goose bumps bulge.

Xu Qiyan turned his head stiffly and looked at the bed, where he saw a red severed hand lying

quietly on the bed.

His scalp instantly went numb, his adrenaline surged, and cold sweat rolled down his cheeks.
