Yan Cigui.

Chapter 109

The night is darkening.

In a small courtyard in the middle of Beijing, chrysanthemums are in full bloom.

There is one person sitting in the room facing the viewing of flowers. The floor-to-ceiling wooden window panels on the side facing the view have all been removed, and the spacious yard is in sight.

Under the light of the lantern, the clusters of flowers are indistinct.

Really want to enjoy the flowers, such a night is really not a good time.

The man was reading a book, turning the pages one by one, a bit fast, if it was ten lines at a glance, he probably didn't finish reading.

He was dressed in gold and regal, leaning on the reclining chair, his whole body was extremely lazy.

Standing beside the deck chair was a man in plain clothes with a hat on his head.

Seemingly unaccustomed to this kind of hat, he reached out to fiddle with it a few times, and even took it off altogether to adjust it again.

In this way, the bald head was exposed.

Under the lamp, the nine ring scars on the top of the head are clearly visible.

"So, the Duke of England is dead?" Jin Guiren suddenly said, "You mean, even Wang Liunian was arrested?"

The bald head quickly put on his hat, and replied respectfully, "Yes."

"It's too careless, it's useless without any contribution," Jin Guiren sighed, with a bit of reluctance in his tone, "It didn't work, it's a loss."

With that said, Jin Guiren put down the book and clapped his hands.

Another person came in from the outside of the room, his body and appearance were extremely ordinary, very inconspicuous.

He bowed his head to obey orders.

"What's the situation in the palace?" Jin Guiren asked.

"The Holy Majesty interrogated Wang Liunian alone in the imperial study room. Only Eunuch Cao was in front of him, and neither Duke Fu nor Shanfu Yin went in. Right now, I don't know what Wang Liunian answered," the man said, "Take Wang After being imprisoned for six years, Sheng went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to talk to the Empress Dowager for a while, and when it was almost dark, the Palace of Compassion and Ning summoned the imperial physician, and the empress fell ill."

The noble man clicked his tongue.

The empress dowager is not a small sail, she has seen many storms.

It can make her old man fall ill after hearing it...

"The fourth son of the Zhu family was sued by his Yue family, right? He poisoned his wife?" Jin Gui frowned, "It seems that he was implicated."

After all, who made Wang Liunian get arrested?

Fortunately, this person has always been loyal, so it is not difficult to find a scapegoat, not to mention that the sheep is still ready-made.

Compared with Wang Liunian, the Duke of England's mouth is more prone to accidents.

It's not that he doesn't trust the British public, but that the British public has a big family.

With more people, more mouths and more ideas.

Zhu Cheng hurt his muscles and bones in the yamen, the British Duke had his forehead repaired in the mansion, and his other sons could only touch their necks when they were fine.

How can we not afford disputes?

"It's better to go on the road earlier," the bald head suggested, guessing what the master wanted, "When the person leaves, his mouth will be tight."

"With His Majesty's temper, the Zhu family can't save them. They will die a few days earlier and die a few days later," Jin Guiren explained, "Don't try to cut the mess quickly. You can create a scene of suicide or father and son killing each other. It's useless, the Holy Majesty can't calm down. Only if the Zhu family dies in his hands, he will feel more at ease, so he won't think about digging deeper."

The bald head answered "Yes" honestly.

"Let's string it together, how many years has passed since King Ding died, and people are lying in ashes in the imperial tomb," Jin Guiren laughed, "Even if Wang Liunian can't bear the nonsense, the Holy Majesty will not Will believe him, I'm just sorry."

He is not afraid of old things.

He lost Wang Liunian and the Duke of England, and he was not disturbed.

His only feeling is only "pity".

Collecting chess pieces is easy to say, but not easy to say.

The chess piece that was finally raised, Wang Liunian had made great achievements at any rate, the British Duke, died before he was able to win the battle.

Originally, as a veteran minister like the British Duke, there are many places that can be used.

What a pity! What a pity!
"The gold bricks that Wang Liunian mentioned are not missing?" Jin Gui asked again.

The bald head and the people behind shook their heads.

"It's been so many years, it's not surprising that someone has poached it long ago, anyway, it's just two boxes of gold bricks." Jin Guiren stopped worrying about that, yawned, and said, "I knew Shan Shen had some skills, but I didn't expect him to So capable, yes, Xu Jian was sent to Shuntian Mansion?"

Later, he said humanely: "Duke Fu Guo resigned from the military department earlier, the Holy Majesty saw that he was idle, and took this opportunity to let him go to Shuntian Mansion for a sit-down."

"That's right," Jin Gui said, "You are young, and you are the Duke of the state. It's a waste of time. I am similar to the Holy One in this regard. Every soldier in my hand can do his best."

"Now that the case is settled, Xu Jian has to be free again, and I don't know what the Holy One is looking for for him." After a moment of silence, Jin Guiren said again, "I don't want to see him just take the salary and do nothing. "

Later, the man took a step forward and said, "My little one heard that Master Liu Jing and Master Liu have summoned his son back from the academy, and he will be able to arrive in Beijing in ten and a half months at most."

"Really?" Jin Guiren's eyes lit up, "I like the fight between father and son brothers, and I like it the most. After watching the drama of the British government, I will be able to join the Liu family's drama, very good, very good!"

It's getting late, he should go to bed earlier.

Tomorrow there is another big show that you can't miss.

The moon is sinking.

The sky is not clear, today is the court meeting, and many officials are already waiting outside the palace gate.

Those with sensitive news knew that there was a big situation in the British government, so they asked Shan Shen one after another.

Shan Shen beat around the bush and pushed and pushed, seeing that he couldn't hold back the enthusiasm of the crowd, but luckily Xu Jian arrived.

Without further ado, Shan Shen hid here with Xu Jian.

People who want to ask about the situation can't help but hesitate.

Firstly, he is not familiar with Xu Jian, and secondly, this Duke has been a joyful person in court since he was idle.

If you just get news from the Lezi people casually, I am afraid that your family will become a joy first.

The gate of the palace opens, and when the time comes, they line up to go up to court.

The Holy Majesty stepped up to the Golden Luan Hall and sat on the dragon chair. Eunuch Cao unfolded the Minghuang imperial decree and opened his mouth to read.

Without any foreshadowing, and without any room for debate, the Holy Majesty determined the outcome of the British government.

For more than ten years, Wang Liunian, the house servant of the deposed prince Li Mi, raised Li Mi's son in an attempt to make trouble again, and Wang Liunian poisoned King Ding, the evidence is conclusive...

The honorable officials kneeling in the hall listening to the reading of the imperial decree were all dumbfounded.

I only know that Zhu Cheng of his family accidentally pushed someone to death, but Li Mi is also implicated like a spider web behind his back.

The young and old in this family died unjustly.

After Eunuch Cao finished reading, the Holy One said in a hoarse voice: "I am extremely shocked and deeply saddened, especially the murder of King Ding.

King Ding and Zhen's eldest brother is a strict but gentle man, with the majesty of a brother, but also caring.

I often lamented his untimely death, and I didn't know there was such an inside story behind his untimely death until yesterday!
The empress dowager also fell ill..."

Speaking of this, who else would dare to intercede for the British government?
Even if it is a good person on the surface asking for a favor, I dare not.

The Holy Majesty appointed the upright and upright Uncle An Yi as the main envoy, and Xu Jian as the deputy envoy to search the British government.

The morning sun was about to rise, and the Imperial Forest Army guarding outside the mansion received the order, opened the gate, and followed Uncle An Yi, Haohao entered the mansion of the Duke's Mansion.
