274 Chapter 274, all want to kill him
On the day Xiao Qiyu and his party left Chunxiao City, a messenger pigeon was released into the sky.

In the middle of the night, in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, the mysterious mastermind received a letter from his subordinate Feige—a palace maid came in and said: "Master, Xiao Qiyu and Mu Yunjiang are on their way back to Beijing... Received the news over there."

The mastermind was resting with his eyes closed, and after a long while, he lazily asked, "Did they go to Chunxiao City to collect evidence?"

"I went. At night, a group of ten of them went out in several directions for a whole night. Our people didn't dare to follow too closely. Not sure where they went. They didn't return to the inn until dawn. They slept in the inn for half a day. , set off in the afternoon, and came back in Majia all the way. It is not clear whether the evidence has been obtained. "

After hearing this, the mastermind asked again: "Where are their subordinates, are they all following them?"

The palace servant replied: "Xiao Qiyu is only accompanied by Asuo and Axu. The new owner of Minglou and her man are gone again."

The mastermind asked again: "Where's Jiang Tian?"

Palace servant: "I went back to Daqi with the three immortals. I think I went to find Xiao Hua."

Mastermind: "Where is Xiao Hua now?"

Palace servant: "The people from Daqi have already hidden it. Besides, Zhong Hui is on his way back to Beijing."

The mastermind unconsciously sighed softly: "The useless Da Qi actually let them escape so easily. He is really a teammate like a pig. I thought that even if Xiao Qiyu couldn't be trapped, he could still let Xiao Qiyu escape." Mu Yunjiang suffered a bit, but in the end, hehe, he got such a field."

The palace maid did not dare to answer, for fear of making a mistake, she would just blame her.

The mastermind frowned, thought for a while, and then ordered: "Let someone inform the East Palace that Xiao Qiyu has returned from Daliang. He has a lot of evidence in his hand, which can prove that Rong Xi did not treason. As long as Xiao Qiyu Qi Yu cleared Rong Xi of his crimes, then he will be treated differently by the emperor... Encourage him to do something..."

Palace maid: "Yes."

The mastermind said indifferently: "If Zhong Hui comes back, tell me, I have to see him later. He wants to see Rong Xi, so I need to accompany him to see him in person."

Palace maid: "Yes."

The mastermind waved his hand: "Go!"

That's right, Jiang Tian has been looking for the traitor Rong Xi for so many years, and he has been staying in Daliang City.Unfortunately, no one knows.

The next day.

East Palace.

"His Royal Highness, Xiao Qiyu went to Daqi, although he was hunted down by Daqi, but he was not caught, and he is already on his way back.

"It is rumored that Xiao Qiyu met Jiang Tian during this trip, and Jiang Tian revealed that Yuan Long was pretending to be Da Liang's rebellion against Xiao Hua, and even beat Xiao Hua away...

"This time, Xiao Qiyu has obtained a lot of evidence. If you let him return to the capital, meet the emperor, and let him reverse the case for Rong Xi, it will be very disadvantageous to you... This is a message from General Qin, please Think of an idea with the queen to see how to make him disappear..."

Shao Guang, the prince's counselor, came to report with deep worry in his tone.

His Royal Highness King Jingbei has already won the hearts of the people. If he finds out that the "Rong family's treason case" was caused by being framed, then, as the only apprentice of General Rong and the prince, this Highness, I'm afraid Let the salted fish turn over.

When the prince Xiao Qizhou heard this, he panicked: "We can't let him go back to Beijing, we must let him die outside. But the queen mother will definitely not agree to do anything to Xiao Qiyu. I will write a letter immediately, and you will tell Qin Qin General, find a way to let them die on the road..."

This is exactly what Shao Guang meant, and immediately said: "Yes."

Although the death of Xiao Qiyu may damage the national prestige of Great Liang, but if he is kept, the status of the crown prince is really difficult to protect!

*
At that time, Concubine Shu also received a letter from her uncle Bai Huchuan: "Xiao Qiyu sneaked into Daqi secretly, and it has been found out that Yuan Long is pretending to be the traitorous Xiao Hua. The case of Rong Xi's treason may have been found out. There is something hidden. The minister thinks that this son can no longer stay..."

Concubine Shu's eyes were dark, yes, King Jingbei must die, and Princess Jingbei must not stay.

To stay and stay is a great disaster.

After burning the letter, she ordered in a deep voice, "Come on, tell Yeyin. Get rid of King Jingbei."

*
At that time, on the other side of Concubine De, a secret letter was shot into the closed palace gate, and a maid immediately took the secret letter and passed it to Concubine De.

This is a letter from my cousin Qingrong, which said: "Xiao Qiyu is on his way back to Beijing, and he may hold evidence that can kill our Qing family. This person must die. The servants will cooperate. They act..."

Concubine De read it and burned the letter, but felt uneasy in her heart.

They wanted to get rid of King Jingbei, but could that person really be removed so easily?

Will something go wrong?

*
At that time, the emperor also received a secret report.

"Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness King Jingbei is already on his way back to Beijing. Although His Royal Highness hasn't heard any news, Mr. Jiang Tian found our stronghold in Southern Qi and told us what happened in Da Qi before.

"Mr. Jiang Tian said that he had already exposed Yuen Long as Xiao Hua pretending to be Xiao Hua. He also abolished the person who wanted to attack Great Liang the most—Xiao Hua, and his tendons and hamstrings had been severed. It's just that the person was finally killed by someone of unknown origin." People rescued.

"Da Qi doesn't dare to start a war with our Great Liang now. As long as there is a war, the military power in the country will be controlled by Li Han. The Queen Mother is doing everything possible to find out the real Yuen Long..."

When Gao Huan reported the news, he watched the emperor's expression carefully: "The Empress Dowager recognized Xiao Yudai as the new princess, and the wedding of the two countries has been put on the agenda.

"Mr. Jiang Tian also said that General Rong Xi is still alive, but has been hidden. In addition, the evidence that can reveal that Rong Xi was framed has already reached His Highness."

Emperor Liang's gaze was gloomy, and the corners of his lips slightly curled up.

No, it was not Mr. Jiang Tian who sent the news.That old boy would rather check it himself than let him check it.Because he doesn't trust him.

All these news came from his annoying son, but he couldn't tell anyone.

But what I have to say is that during this trip to Daqi, this kid really found out too much useful information.

I'm afraid that these news may have already reached other people's ears.Therefore, on his way back, he might be in danger.

"Your Majesty, if His Royal Highness King Jingbei really got an important clue, shouldn't we go and respond to it? This old servant is worried that His Highness will be in danger!"

Emperor Liang looked indifferently: "If he can't even do this, then he deserves to be unable to reverse the case for his master..."

Gao Huan glanced at it, and unconsciously sighed secretly:
Alas, the emperor's mind is really too difficult to guess.

On the other side, Xiao Qiyu walked with Mu Yunjiang on the road for three days and came to Tanzhou County.

There is a famous Confucian in Tanzhou: Guo Xiaozhou, who is the most famous Confucian in the world.

This person opened a school in Tanzhou called Renxiao Academy.It specially recruits talented people from poor families all over the world to study in the mountains.

This academy is as famous as the Longmen Academy in the capital.

The difference is that Longmen Academy only accepts disciples from rich and powerful families as students, and there are very few students from poor families, because the tuition fees here are relatively high.

As for Renxiao Academy, the tuition fee charged is less than one-tenth of that of Longmen Academy.

Of course, the living conditions are relatively poor. Although there are government subsidies and donations from various plutocrats, they are still handed down as poor.The disciples who have been born are all really considering the sufferings of the people's livelihood.

Mu Yunjiang's second brother, Mu Yunzheng, came here to study because his family was poor.

There is a rule in reading here.

Must be a student from a lower family background.

You must do odd jobs in the college for half a year, and then study for two years.

During this period, you can't go home, and you can't complain.

After getting through these, in the third year, as long as you have excellent knowledge, you can go to Beijing to catch up for the exam.If the grades are particularly good within two years of studying, you can take the Chunwei Examination.

The Chunwei Examination is a special scientific examination set up by the emperor to select talents. All those who come to Beijing for the examination must be recommended by the instructor.Letters of recommendation are required.It is divided into literary test and military test.

Originally, when they returned to Beijing, they didn't use it to talk about Zhoucheng.

But on the way, Mu Yunjiang counted her fingers and thought something was wrong. She suddenly remembered that her clever second brother was plotted to sleep with her teacher because she wanted to fight for the place in Chunwei. , and finally died of being cracked by a car.

In Great Liang, respecting the teacher and respecting the Tao is the righteousness.If someone dares to humiliate his teacher's wife, it is a loss of morality, and he must be sentenced to death, so as to warn the world and not to follow suit.

She checked the time, and when it was almost time, she asked Xiao Qiyu to come here by detour.

Renxiao Academy is located on Tanxiang Mountain. It was originally a summer house for a large family. Later, the head of the family committed a crime and his family property was confiscated. The Great Confucian Guo Xiaozhou returned home due to illness. Hua Zhai, I hope that Guo Xiaozhou can use his family to establish an academy, accept more students in his lifetime, and then cultivate talents for Daliang.

After Guo Xiaozhou returned to his hometown, at first he only accepted five or six students because his health did not improve. After his health improved, he accepted more and more students. Gradually, there was such a college, which was quite famous in the imperial court.

The students are all proud to be Guo Daru's students.

But this Guo Daru is very knowledgeable, but he likes young women a little bit, and they must be talented women. He is over 60 now, but his family has at least three beautiful concubines.

This is not to say that he only accepts the third house, but that he has passed on all the previous ones to others.None of them lasted more than a year.After a while, he will be sent away.

In the previous life, Mu Yunzheng died because he slept with Guo Daru's concubine.

Mu Yunjiang knew that among all the men in the world, there are many men who like to harvest yin and replenish yang.Many old perverts like to pick on young and beautiful people.

Many rich and powerful dignitaries even compete in the limelight to see who has the most beautiful concubine and who is more talented.Sometimes they even give each other gifts and talk about the fun in private.

Therefore, even though this great Confucianist has a habit of taking concubines, no one dares to say anything—this is the folk custom, and it is a matter of course for a man to have three wives and four concubines.

However, when Mu Yunjiang came to Renkao Academy to ask to see Mu Yunzheng, the students in the academy said: "Senior Brother Mu, didn't you go home to visit your relatives? Before, there was a letter from the Mu family and the Prince Jingbei's marriage. Brother Mu Went home a month ago..."

Mu Yunjiang listened, and stayed for a long time, no, it's not right, the second elder brother wrote back to say that the academy's rules are strict, and he can't go home to celebrate Xiao Qi's wedding.

"No, it's definitely not right."

After coming down from the mountain, Mu Yunjiang had a problem after much deliberation, and turned to Xiao Qiyu and said, "Second Brother will definitely not come back if he says he won't. Something happened to him."

She suddenly became anxious.

Xiao Qiyu sent the people around him far away, and comforted her in a low voice: "You insist on going around here, is it in your previous life that something happened to your second brother here, and you rushed over here in a short time? Don't want to delay?"

"Yes. In the previous life, the second elder brother slept with Guo Daru's concubine, so he was tortured by the chariot and died horribly." Mu Yunjiang turned to look at the college:

"This college is a sacred place in the eyes of the world. Students who can enter here will have the opportunity to leap into the dragon's gate in the future. They have such a good reputation outside, but after my second brother's accident, he was sentenced to death without notifying us in the capital. Yun, why do I feel something is wrong..."

Mu Yunjiang squinted her beautiful eyes, "I have a bad idea that my second brother must be locked up. Maybe he was sentenced to this kind of punishment because he knew something he shouldn't know... Xiao Qiyu, today Tonight, let's go find out, what do you think?"

"Well, risk your life to accompany your wife!" This sentence is full of deep affection.

Mu Yunjiang turned her head and took a look. She really wanted to hug him, but unfortunately, she couldn't... Really, the more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. Master was clearly torturing her!

*
That afternoon, they went to the city at the foot of the mountain and found an inn.

Mu Yunjiang didn't stay in the inn much, bought a set of beggar clothes with money, slipped out while Xiao Qiyu wasn't paying attention, and mixed into the beggar group.

Beggars can't be seen on the stage, but they are very well-informed, and they can talk about some interesting things in the city when they get together.They also like to inquire about interesting facts.Because they know a lot more, they can make a little money when they meet someone who wants to buy news, which is enough for them to go without begging for a month or two.

Therefore, Mu Yunjiang in her previous life liked to pretend to be a beggar, and then mixed in with the beggar group.

"Hey, your face is very raw? Where did you come from?"

a local beggar asked her.

She sighed:

"My, I came here from the capital begging for food. The beggars over there are too difficult to deal with. If you run on the street, if you don't pay attention, you will meet a nobleman. If you accidentally offend a nobleman, you will die."

"It's so miserable, but it's better here."

"Hey, where can you find food here? I heard that the academy often offers fast meals?"

This is what Mu Yunzheng wrote about.

"Don't go to the academy, there are already several little beggars who were called in by the academy and disappeared."

gone?
Mu Yunjiang's heart skipped a beat: "Why didn't you disappear?"

"I don't know. Anyway, two beggars are missing. Although some people say that they were taken in as bookboys. But after so long, no one has heard that Guo Daru has more bookboys. I only know that the man has been taking in It is true that a talented woman is a concubine...and those young women, after being divorced, said that they were married to other places, but in fact, many of them have died."

An old beggar next to him spoke mysteriously.

Mu Yunjiang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "He died, how did he die?"
