The wife of the power minister's family

Xiao Yi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. Just thinking of something, he turned serious and said: "You also know the situation in Lingzhou now. It is in a precarious situation. I am not sure how this matter will develop in the future. , you must be careful when moving alone, if anything happens, come to Lingzhou Mansion to see me immediately."

Xu Jing also knew that Cui Han's matter was not a trivial matter, so she came in disguise and did not let others know about her relationship with Xiao Yi.

She looked serious and said: "Okay, I have Cheng Xiao and a bunch of guards around me, and I have the ability to protect myself. You don't have to worry. Speaking of which, what happened to Cui Han? That Li who exposed Cui Han's crimes If the deputy general did not commit suicide, could it be that someone deliberately killed him and forged his handwriting to write this suicide note to frame Cui Han?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, "We don't know this yet. Cui Han... I don't know much about him either. There are very few opportunities for Jiedu envoys from various places to come to Beijing. Cui Han has always been low-key and reserved, unlike others. Jiedushi was so arrogant that not many people in Beijing knew him well.

His grandfather Cui Zhenyang was a general of the previous dynasty and occupied Lingzhou during the disintegration of the previous dynasty. When Emperor Taizu established the Great Chu, in order to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible, he could only make him the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu. The position of envoy was passed down from generation to generation in the Cui family.

However, during King Wu's Rebellion twelve years ago, the military governors in various places made some small moves. Cui and his son were the only military governors who did not make any small moves. "

Xu Jing was slightly stunned, "You mean, Cui Han might... be loyal to the court?"

Xiao Yi said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, but what is intriguing is that two days before Prince Zhao and I arrived in Lingzhou, Cui Han escaped from prison, and no trace of him has been found so far."

Jailbroken?

Xu Jing lowered her eyes and thought deeply, saying: "There are two possibilities for his escape from prison now. One is that the charges against him in Li Huaiying's suicide note are all true and he fled in fear of crime. The other is that this was all against him from beginning to end. The purpose of setting up a bureau is to alienate the relationship between him and the imperial court. In view of the strangeness of Li Huaiying's death, I prefer the second possibility."

This woman's thoughts have always been very clear and rigorous, and Xiao Yi can be inspired every time she discusses the case with her.

He couldn't help but look at the woman in front of him, smiled lightly and said: "Yes, I am also leaning towards the second possibility, but if Cui Han was framed, why did he escape from prison?"

"If he has evidence that he is not treasonous, he can wait for you and Prince Zhao to come and give this evidence to you. If he escapes from prison, it is possible that he has no evidence to prove his innocence. Of course, It’s more likely that he’s trying to protect himself!”

"Yes."

A smile also appeared in Xiao Yi's eyes, and he said: "The person who set up the trap didn't want him to see the people sent by the Holy Emperor to verify this matter. He wanted to completely prove that he intended to rebel, so he wanted to harm him. For him, he escaped from prison to protect himself.”

Xu Jing added: "Think more boldly, why did the mastermind behind the scenes go to such great lengths to set up a trap for him? Is it purely because he is loyal to the court? Could it be because they don't know what he has in hand? Something you want the world to know?”

Commonly known as handle.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of Ah Jing, I think your idea is very close to the truth.

In fact, Cui Han was not the only one who had troubles in Lingzhou during this period. Many of his generals also had troubles. "

Xu Jing was slightly stunned.

Xiao Yi said in a deep voice: "Needless to say, Li Huaiying, one of Cui Han's lieutenants, Chen Shaoguang, a general under Cui Han who was very important to him, suddenly fell from his horse and died five days ago. Cui Han's Jiedu Zhang Secretary Cao Yue suddenly encountered bandits on the road ten days ago and died young. Zhou Wenbai, the deputy envoy of Jiedu who was Cui Han's second-in-command, suddenly disappeared eight days ago, the day Cui Han was involved in the accident. His whereabouts have been reported so far. Unknown, Cui Han’s wife and children are also missing at the same time.”

The more Xu Jing listened, the more solemn her expression became.

The situation was more complicated than she thought.

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, she said: "No wonder you said that my final inference is very close to the truth. It is not a coincidence that Cui Han's confidants had accidents frequently at the same time. Even when Cao Yue had an accident, Li Huaiying also Not dead, Cao Yue's death may be a warning to Cui Han by the man behind the scenes, but maybe he found the warning useless, or maybe Cui Han's existence gave him huge threats and uneasiness, so he finally decided to deal with Cui Han Contains.

If Cui Han has the handle on the other party, his confidants will most likely know about it, so the man behind the scenes would rather kill by mistake than to miss him, so he won't even let his confidants go.

Next, Cui Han's other confidants may also be in danger..." ˜ ˜ ˜Xiao Yi nodded and said: "I thought so too, so after I learned about the situation, I immediately sent people to closely monitor Cui Han's other confidants, and also privately After talking to them, they all insisted that Cui Han was framed and that Cui Han had no disobedience to the court. However, I could tell that they didn't know why Cui Han was being targeted. "

Xu Jing couldn't help but frown in thought.

Therefore, there are three questions before them now -

1. Was Cui Han really framed?

Second, if Cui Han was framed, what was the background of the person who framed Cui Han?

Third, why did that person, or in other words, those people frame Cui Han?

Seeing Xu Jing's expression of deep thought, Xiao Yi couldn't help but tap her forehead in a funny way, and said: "What happens next cannot be known by analysis alone. It is up to Prince Zhao and me to find out the truth of the matter." For work, aren’t you going to find Dr. Yan?”

Only then did Xu Jing distance herself from these problems and said, "Yes, then you have to work hard, otherwise Prince Zhao will come to me again to complain, saying that he has to do the work of two people by himself."

Xiao Yi's eyes were soft, and he looked at Xu Jing and said: "I understand, madam."

The last word he said was soft and tactful, touching and pathos.

After all, Xu Jing still couldn't adapt to such a change. Her face turned slightly red, she coughed lightly, muttered "goodbye", then turned and walked out.

Because Xu Jing's identity could not be known to others, Xiao Yi could not send her out in person. He could only watch her figure slowly disappear outside the door, and his heart felt empty almost instantly.

If I had known better, I would have asked her for a hug before letting her leave.

This feeling of unreality in my heart, I don’t know when it will disappear.

Cheng Xiao, who was waiting outside the door, saw Xu Jing finally come out, and immediately stood up excitedly and said: "Husband... Langjun, you finally came out!"

Just now, he slipped him to the right into a small dark room and scolded him vehemently.

Cheng Xiao was so aggrieved. He finally understood why Commander Xiang was unwilling to send his wife over in person!

Xu Jingxiao glanced at him and said, "Let's go, let's go to Baiyang Village."

Baiyang Village is where Doctor Yan now lives in seclusion.

According to Zhou Qi, Doctor Yan is training young medical girls just like her, and many of her apprentices have already gone out to practice medicine to help the world, imitating her.

However, their reputation is far inferior to that of Doctor Yan, so not many people know about them.

Because this time it was a real trip and there might be certain dangers, Xu Jing didn't bring too many people with her. In addition to the guards, she brought Chunyang and her eldest disciple Qianhua.

Baiyang Village is located on the outskirts of Lingzhou. It is a very peaceful and peaceful village. Before coming to Baiyang Village, Xu Jing changed into women's clothing. When she arrived at the entrance of the village, she stopped a villager carrying an earthen basket and asked: "Excuse me, is there a medical woman named Yan here?"

Unexpectedly, the villager immediately looked at her very warily and asked in an obviously unfriendly tone: "Why are you looking for Dr. Yan? Who are you?!"
