Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 414: Possibly suspected of collaborating with the enemy
"You have some clues about what I asked you to investigate."

Fang Yun's eyes darkened slightly, and there was a cold look on his face.

Yuan He stepped forward first and said, "Reporting to your Majesty, according to my investigation, Mr. Liu has not been an official for a long time and has not made any enemies in the court. On the contrary, he is very well-connected and has made friends with many ministers."

"I went to check the Furong Palace. Recently, Yanbi seems to be interested in making friends with Wan Lingyi, but there has been no movement." Yan Wei also said immediately.

Finally, there is Qingrong, her face is a little more serious.

"According to my servants' inquiries, after Concubine Yang of Zhongcui Palace was demoted to the throne, she sent someone out of the palace to deliver a letter to her brother's mansion. However, she seems to have not received a reply so far. I don't know why."

After hearing this, Fang Yun still felt that Zhong Cuigong was the most suspicious.

After being demoted, he corresponded with his mother's family, most likely asking for help.

If Nanning Marquis wants to help her and deal with himself, it is undoubtedly a good choice to attack Liu Qin.

Liu Qin was Fang Yun's supporter in the previous dynasty. He was young, talented, and accomplished. He was also on good terms with Huo Mingxuan, the current head of Qin's palace, and Ye Yunxiao, the heir to the Ye family.

And with Fang Yun helping behind his back, he will definitely have a bright future.

In particular, Liu Qin is about to marry the Qu family.

Although the official positions of the Qu family are not high, one is in the Imperial Academy and is expected to join the cabinet, one is a local official and will definitely be an official with real power when promoted in the future, and the other is only waiting for the imperial examination to become an official.

This is a prosperous family, not much worse than those who are already in high positions.

Getting rid of Liu Qin would ruin half of Fang Yun's hard work.

"Check, let Si Shun try to find out the truth." Fang Yun narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Si Bian is now the eunuch in charge of the third prince.

The one who jumped to save the third prince when he fell into the water was also mentioned before.

Qingrong nodded and went out immediately.

Outside the palace, Liu Qin did not sit back and wait.

After all, he was young and in good health. After pulling out the arrow to stop the bleeding, he felt a little energetic today.

So when Ye Yunxiao came to visit him, he took the opportunity to ask Ye Yunxiao something.

"I am afraid that the assassination I suffered this time was not done by those who were harvesting and cutting. I have been on the battlefield for more than a year. Even though I don't know how to fight, I can still see something strange. Those people were trained Passed."

Leaning on the pillow, Liu Qin looked solemn. His face was gray due to blood loss, making him look even more haggard.

Ye Yunxiao nodded, "I have also asked the guards who followed you, and they said the same thing. It can be seen that someone came to you deliberately, but they just wanted to use other people's names."

Speaking of this, Ye Yunxiao couldn't help but feel angry and slammed the table in a circle.

"It's better for that boy Mingxuan to leave. Although the environment in Northern Xinjiang is more difficult, people's hearts are simple. It's not like here in Kyoto, where intrigues are everywhere. On the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, the enemy didn't kill you or me. But when I returned to Kyoto, It’s so sad and hateful to be hurt by a fellow human being!”

"Among the three of us, you have stayed in the court in Kyoto the longest. You still don't know if the water in Kyoto is muddy."

Liu Qin tugged at the corner of his mouth helplessly, and then said again.

"But I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will pay him back a hundredfold. Yun Xiao, I can't swallow this breath anymore. I want to ask you to do something for me."

"what's up?"

"Go check Yang Chengyu."

Liu Qin said clearly every word.

"Him?" Ye Yunxiao frowned immediately after hearing this, "Indeed, I heard that Concubine Yang in the palace was demoted to concubine precisely because the emperor found out about the old incident of Concubine Yang framed Concubine Zhao when she was hiding in the palace. Yang Chengyu doesn't know you Before my identity, I have looked down on you many times, and I have always been at odds with you, let alone now."

After Ye Yunxiao finished speaking, Liu Qin said seriously.

"That's not all. Do you remember when he captured Lin Cong, the sixth prince of Shangyang Kingdom, alive in Northern Xinjiang?" "Remember, that was his greatest achievement."

Recalling old things, Ye Yunxiao nodded.

Liu Qin said, "After his meritorious service, Shangyang State launched a war based on the fact that its sixth prince was captured alive. Qin Guogong and Mingxuan responded to the enemy. Although the battle was hard, they were killed and retreated steadily in the first five days. , why were we suddenly ambushed? The enemy seemed to have suddenly seen through our tactics, and tightly surrounded our army, don't you think it's suspicious?"

Liu Qin and Huo Mingxuan had talked about these things privately, but because there was no evidence, Huo Mingxuan had to go back to northern Xinjiang to lead troops, so he hadn't investigated it yet.

And hearing him say this, Ye Yunxiao was suddenly shocked.

To be honest, at that time, everyone was filled with grief and anger because of Qin Guogong's death in battle. They just wanted to avenge Qin Guogong, the coach, and didn't think much about the reasons.

Later, I overcame it and felt happy, and no longer pursued the sad past.

But when Liu Qin mentioned it like this today, Ye Yunxiao, who calmed down, quickly realized that something was wrong.

"At that time, after Lin Cong was imprisoned in the Kyoto prison, he was poisoned in prison and almost died. At that time, due to the war situation, the matter could not be publicized, and the person behind the scenes was not found, so the emperor suppressed it. Only a few people know it, and my father is one of them."

Ye Yunxiao also quickly told the news he knew.

Liu Qin didn't know this. After hearing this, his eyes suddenly became brighter.

"The two countries were at war at that time. Even if the Shangyang people could sneak into Daqi, they would definitely not be able to enter the prison in Kyoto. The person who could murder the hostages in Kyoto must be from Daqi!"

"You mean, Yang Chengyu collaborates with the enemy?"

Ye Yunxiao's eyes suddenly became sharp and he expressed his guess.

"It's not impossible." Liu Qin nodded solemnly.

After these words, the room was silent for a while.

Both of them were filled with anger and heaviness.

After a moment, Ye Yunxiao stood up suddenly, "You should recover well, leave this matter to me, I will find out."

"Then your thoughts are safe. Don't alert others. Take care of yourself first." Liu Qin told him.

Ye Yunxiao nodded and strode away immediately.

Liu Qin was very relieved to leave the matter to him.

Even though the Ye family seems to be a neutral family that does not participate in political struggles, and its presence does not seem to be strong, you must know that the Ye family is one of the few families in Daqi that has remained a powerful family after two dynasties.

The two dynasties that have gone through here are not the two emperors of Da Qi, but the Ye family was already here when this country did not have the surname Pei.

Although it has had its ups and downs, and there were times when the descendants were failing and the foyer was lonely, but now it is being used in important ways.

Needless to say, such a family has a solid foundation. Without connections, it would not be able to survive today.

After explaining what was going on outside, Liu Qin also sent someone to the palace to send a message to Fang Yun.

He said that he was seriously injured now and did not know what his physical condition would be like in the future. The girl from the Qu family was a good girl and he did not want to delay her. If people had any concerns, they would just let the marriage go.

The next day, in Yuzhang Palace, Fang Yun read Liu Qin's letter and sighed.

"Look, he also has a kind heart."

"It is often said that one family does not belong to the same family. Although Mr. Liu and the empress are sworn siblings, their temperaments are the same." Qingrong said.

At this time, there was movement outside, and Yuan He reported at the door that the emperor was here.

Fang Yucai hurriedly went out to greet him.
