"Master Zhang."

Fu Jiuqu's cool eyes slowly turned into a smile and he walked over.

Everyone's eyes followed his footsteps, and his moody and handsome face looked even more indifferent in the wind and snow.

"She didn't lie. I heard with my own ears that Dr. Cui was Chen Chusheng. The killings, arson, and poisoning were all done by him alone."

Ho ho!

Zhang Yaozhuo is smiling but not smiling.

"Your Majesty, there is no evidence to prove it, so the subordinates dare not make arbitrary decisions. Who knows if this young lady has deceived the Prince by spreading suspicion?"

The flames of Yaowang Pagoda are not extinguished.

All the marks were sealed in that sea of ​​fire.

Once Chen Chusheng died, his identity became difficult to identify.

If Fu Jiuqu insists on speaking for Xin Yi, it will arouse doubts about whether he is the "imperial official" mentioned in the secret letter?

Fu Jiuqu chuckled.

"I said yes, but Mr. Zhang said no, it's going to be difficult..."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Jiuqu said lazily: "Let's do this, Mr. Zhang, Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial City Division will fight to the death. Whoever wins will listen to whoever wins."

Deathmatch?

Zhang Yaozhuo's expression changed.

Isn’t this little ancestor being unreasonable?

If we really want to fight, who is the opponent of the Imperial City Division in Kaifeng Mansion?

Zhang Yaozhuo forced himself to apologize and said, "The prince is joking. The Kaifeng government is petitioning for the people. He is not good at using force. I must ask the prince to spare his life and not to embarrass his subordinates again..."

Fu Jiuqu: "If I don't embarrass you, I'll beat you up."

Zhang Yaozhuo: "..."

The expressions of a group of people changed, but those in the Imperial City Division were gearing up. They liked the unreasonable and tyrannical way Prince Guangling bullied these royal relatives. Upon seeing this, they all straightened their backs and approached with knives.

The backs of the government officials in Kaifeng Mansion were tense.

Xin Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Prince, it is important to put out the fire."

Fu Jiuqu frowned slightly and turned to look at her.

Xin Yi made a look and said in a playful voice: "What is true cannot be faked, and what is false cannot be true. How I got into Kaifeng Mansion today will determine how I will get out in the future."

Fu Jiuqu: "Oh. You really want to go to Kaifeng Mansion to stay for two days?"

Xin Yi smiled: "I believe the county prince will find evidence and clear my grievances."

"Huh!" Fu Jiuqu gave Xin Yi a look.

He was slightly dissatisfied, but the coldness in his eyes had dissipated.

"get out!"

Zhang Yaozhuo breathed a long sigh of relief, cupped his hands and smiled.

"I'll take my leave."

…

Finally, for Fu Jiuqu's sake, Kaifeng Mansion found a mule to carry Xin Yi, who was "bad at walking".

When passing through Zhangjiacun, people along the way stopped their farm work to watch the excitement. The Liu family was the most excited, as happy as if they had celebrated the New Year in advance.

Mrs. Liu took out all the rotten eggs that the family didn't have enough money for, and wanted to throw them at Xin Yi's body. However, her hand was not good enough, and she hit the Yamen servant all at once. The Yamen servant drew his sword and turned around. He was so frightened that he quickly retracted and vomited.

bad language……

Xiang Ling and his beloved were also in the crowd with their two children.

San Nian burst into tears and called "Mother" loudly.

The second thought bit her lower lip, and the first thought was silent.

Xiang Ling and her husband's eyes were red, but they had received instructions from Xin Yi in advance, so they didn't say a word. They just silently grabbed the three younger ones and kept them from coming forward.

Mrs. Cao came closer with Tiedan in hand, sighed, touched Sannian's little head, and coaxed her softly.

"It's okay, your mother will be back soon."

"Auntie, my mother is not a bad person. I want my mother back..."

Sannian was born thin and small, and when he cried, he looked more like a pitiful little animal.

Mrs. Cao suddenly felt pity, and when she heard Mr. Liu gossiping in the crowd again, she couldn't help but get angry.

"Shut up, everyone."

The lady from Xiao Cao's Mansion was very aggressive even when she tried to be ruthless.

"What are you happy about? Kaifeng Mansion hasn't convicted you yet, you all have seen it clearly? How many eyes and heads do you have, why are you just spitting here to handle the case? You are so powerful, why haven't you been invited to Kaifeng Mansion to sit in court?

Woolen cloth?"

The villagers let her curse, and their voices became weaker.

A group of people walked back in twos and threes.

Mrs. Liu snorted heavily and laughed bitterly.

"Erlang, let's drive into the city to do some New Year shopping."

Lady Cao pouted at her back.

"Evil mother-in-law! She waits all day long for something to happen to her daughter-in-law. People like you have made Zhangjia Village a mess..."

Mrs. Liu turned around and let out an ouch, "A lady from a wealthy family is really generous. Has your child with the rabbit mouth been cured? If I were you, I would have killed him head-on. I wouldn't have the nerve to come out to see people."

Mrs. Cao's face turned pale, "You——"

"Second brother, let's go."

Neighbors, some things are no secret no matter how well they are hidden. Mrs. Cao was so heartbroken that her eyes were red with anger.

But she didn't believe that Xin Yi was the murderer of her son...

·

The fire in Yaowang Tower burned for a full hour before it was extinguished.

Surprisingly, despite lightning strikes and fires, the overall structure of the octagonal tower has not collapsed. A ruined building stands in the wind and snow, like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, looking down at the earth in pain.

Fu Jiuqu and Cao Yi walked into the pagoda hall filled with ashes one after another.

A broken beam fell down, and dust and smoke filled the nostrils.

Fu Jiuqu raised his sleeves, brushed them and looked at Cao Yi.

"So, you also received the secret message?"

Cao Yi nodded, took out the secret letter from his arms and handed it to him.

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyes and smiled.

The Imperial City Secretary has always been feared, but Cao Yi didn't avoid him?

The font on the secret letter has a square shape and straight strokes. It is similar to the regular script printed by the imperial court. It is exactly the same as what Fu Jiuqu received.

But the contents of the letters are different.

In addition to the Biangong Gang and Yaowang Pagoda, it was also specifically stated that the gang colluded with the imperial officials to concoct the water ghost case, using rumors of ghosts to echo the "Pengxing Appearance". The water ghost case was just a primer, and the ultimate goal was to harm the Song Dynasty.

Cao Yi's letter hinted that the man was Zhang Yaozhuo...

Fu Jiuqu handed the letter back.

"Both letters are in the same handwriting."

"yes."

"I don't know what the content of the letter Zhang Yaozhuo received is."

"Chonglou thinks Zhang Yaozhuo also came because he received a secret message?"

Fu Jiuqu half-smiled, "What else?"

Cao Yi said warmly: "Have you ever doubted that this matter was Zhang Yaozhuo's conspiracy? If both letters were written by him, the purpose was to lure you and me here. Think about today's situation. If you are not careful, you will be killed in a sea of ​​fire.

It’s you and me.”

Fu Jiuqu knew about the grievances between the Zhang and Cao families. Hearing this, he raised his pale and slender hands, lowered his head to straighten his sleeves, and said slowly:

"Zhang Yaozhuo doesn't have the guts."

Cao Yi: "Not necessarily."

Today, Concubine Zhang is deeply favored by the emperor, and even has the gift of being conferred for three generations, which is far beyond the queen. What can Zhang Yaozhuo dare not to do to overthrow the political opponents who stand in his way?
