"What do you think, the empress, if there is a chance, let him be the emperor?"

Who will be the emperor? Lin San really dares to say that.

What kind of behavior is this? Rebellion! It is a major crime to punish the Nine Clan.

She quickly covered his mouth with her hand: "You don't want to die?"

Lin Yue held her wrist and took her hand away: "Isn't it a major crime for a fake eunuch to take possession of the queen's body? And has the queen forgotten that I want to help the late emperor avenge him? Once Zhu Youjian is found guilty,

If he dies, who will inherit the throne? Should you choose someone among the local vassal kings? Will he treat your empress well? I don’t think so, so instead of handing the throne to someone else, it is better to hand it to my younger brother. This can protect my empress for life.

Don't worry, I and your empress will be able to stay together for a long time."

Zhang Yan looked at his face blankly. She originally thought that when he said he wanted to avenge Zhu Youxiao, he was just talking. The real purpose was to eliminate the guilt in her heart and completely accept him from body to mind, but now it seems... fake

The eunuch really has a plan and takes action.

"No, no... this is too dangerous."

Lin Yue kissed her hand, which was clenched into a fist out of fear, with a thin layer of sweat oozing out from the palm: "Don't worry, I have a sense of discretion."

Seeing that Zhang Yan still looked distracted, Lin Yue sighed: "My Majesty, I feel that from a long follower who first entered the palace, to now I have killed Wei Zhongxian and slept with my Majesty, and from tomorrow onwards I will be separated from Zhao Jingzhong in the East Factory."

How long did it take?”

She counted on her fingers, less than five months.

"My Majesty, think about it again. Just now, Cai Chen took you to Prince Xin's Mansion. Did you encounter any resistance on the way?" Lin Yue said, "Although the palace is large and the imperial army is numerous, it is basically impossible for me to keep you here."

Zhang Yan thought of the conversation between Lin San's "brother" and Zhu Youjian, and then recalled her visit to the guest family and Wei Zhongxian in the morning... It was pity that Zhu Youjian fell into the two brothers' double-act plan and failed to do so.

Self-aware.

Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved. Looking at the little eunuch accompanying her, she finally understood why he had an inexplicable attraction - because this little eunuch was not an ordinary person.

As for whether the surname of Jiangshan in Ming Dynasty is Zhu, does it have anything to do with her? She has no children, and now she is living a widowed life without a head.

"So, that parrot and the hosta I lost... were all used by you to get close to me?"

"Your Majesty is so smart." Lin Yue put his face close to hers and whispered softly in her ear: "My younger brother wants the throne, but I want your Majesty. From today on, I will be your Majesty's slave during the day, and your Majesty at night."

She is my wife. During the day, I serve my wife, and at night, my wife serves me."

Listening to his partly soothing and partly provocative words, Zhang Yan felt her face flush and her body warm, and her heart beat faster: "You... are such a bad person."

Lin Yue took off the scarlet embroidery with dragons and phoenixes crossing their necks: "This is called 'interest'."

…

The next morning.

Xingbu Yamen Morgue.

Zhao Jingzhong covered his nose with a handkerchief and looked into the coffin. On the contrary, Han Kuang standing opposite looked normal and was not frightened by the "Nine Thousand Years Old" who was burned into a mummified body.

"Eunuch Zhao, do you think those three people are telling the truth?"

Zhao Jingzhong stretched out his hand and touched the heart of the charred corpse: "Han Shoufu is worrying too much. For such a big matter, the little Jin Yiwei Zongqi, even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to lie."

"Eunuch Zhao, although the emperor is young, he has a keen eye. He really wants to..."

Before Han Kuang finished speaking, there was a flash of light and shadow at the door, and a person walked in.

Zhao Jingzhong turned his head, frowned and said, "Why is it you?"

"Why can't it be me?" The person who came was none other than Lin Yue: "Did the Emperor say that the investigation of the treasure ship case was suspended?"

Zhao Jingzhong suddenly smiled: "Zhao hasn't congratulated Mr. Lin on his safe escape."

"Haha, I also want to congratulate Eunuch Zhao. Once Wei Zhongxian dies, Eunuch Zhao will rule Dongchang from now on."

While speaking, he walked up to the gloomy coffin with an upturned head and pretended to inspect it carefully.

"Eunuch Lin is really dedicated to his duties. He just went home yesterday and came to the Yamen to investigate the case today..."

Before Zhao Jingzhong finished speaking, Han Kuang walked up to him and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhao Jingzhong's expression suddenly changed, because Han Shoufu said that during the cabinet meeting this morning, the emperor revealed the idea of ​​letting Lin San go to Dongchang, and none of the cabinet members objected, because it was Lin San who cooperated with Zhang Yan to impeach Wei Zhongxian.

The prelude to the encirclement and suppression of the eunuchs, and the disappearance of Lin San pushed the action to its climax. Considering the suffering he suffered while imprisoned in the cellar of Tianji Manor for more than a month, no one in the civil or military circles of the entire dynasty was qualified to say no to the emperor's reward.

.

Why did Lin Yue go to Dongchang? Let's decentralize power.

Does the emperor not trust him, or does he want to rectify or even abolish Dongchang?

"Eunuch Zhao, I heard that you selected the person sent to find Wei Zhongxian."

Lin Yue's question brought Zhao Jingzhong back to his thoughts: "Zhao chose it. Is there any problem?"

Lin Yue touched the place he touched just now: "I heard that the emperor's order was to keep the corpse alive. How come a charred corpse was brought back that was unrecognizable? Where are the three royal guards now?"

"I don't know, Eunuch Lin..."

"Oh, I have a few questions I'd like to ask them for clarification."

Zhao Jingzhong's face became more and more ugly, because his intuition told him that Lin San had begun to doubt the identity of the corpse. Unlike Han Kuang, this boy acted vigorously and resolutely. If he really wanted to find Lu Jianxing and the others, he knew that the instructions they received were to kill them.

If Wei Zhongxian is killed, he will be in some trouble.

In addition, he knew very well that the body in the coffin was not Wei Zhongxian. Needless to say, those three people must have reached some kind of deal with Wei Zhongxian and played a trick to hide the truth.

He originally thought that after killing Wei Zhongxian, the bad things he had done in the past, such as assassinating Donglin Party members, would not be known to anyone. However, things got out of control, putting him in a dilemma. With the current situation, he had to solve this matter.

There was only one way left.

Kill and silence!

"Actually, it's easy to know whether this body is Wei Zhongxian's."

Another shocking statement, Zhao Jingzhong and Han Kuang looked at Lin Yue with doubts on their faces.

"According to me, I know that Wei Zhongxian has been taking elixir for a long time. Eunuch Zhao should know about this, right?"

Zhao Jingzhong nodded with a gloomy face.

Lin Yue said: "If you take the elixir for a long time, your bones will become normal. As long as you ask a skilled widower to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy, you can tell whether this person is Wei Zhongxian."

Han Kuang nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Over there, Zhao Jingzhong's expression remained as usual, but he secretly decided that he must deal with those three people as soon as possible.

…

At noon.

Jin Yi Wei Bei Division.

Zhang Ying, who was wearing a silver hundred-household robe, looked at the row of subordinates standing in front of him.

"Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, you two will follow me to Yan Peiwei's house to capture the eunuchs."

Yan Peiwei, the imperial envoy of Qiandu?

Is he also a eunuch?

There was a lot of discussion below.

Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan's expressions were as usual, but Shen Lian's eyes flickered, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. He used to be a member of the Beisi Baihu, and had been working in the capital for many years. Unlike the first two people, he knew that Yan Peiwei was from the Golden Blade Sect. There are dozens of guests in the house.

The three of them "killed" Wei Zhongxian and returned to the capital. Before the vacation was over, Zhang Ying summoned them to the Yamen and sent them on a new mission. No matter how you thought about it, it was a bit unreasonable.

"Yes, sir." Shen Lian was doubtful, but Lu Jianxing simply agreed.

"Okay, let's go." Zhang Ying, a fat-headed and big-eared man, walked outside with his confidant, the flag officer.

Half an hour later.

The royal guards, carrying long bows and carrying quivers on their backs, lined up in front of Yan Peiwei's mansion, looking like they were coming with bad intentions.

Zhang Ying was riding on his horse, looking impatiently at the three motionless brothers in the crowd.

"Lu Jianxing, Shangguan said, who can take Yan Peiwei to the next level? Do you want the credit or not?"

"Sir, I'll go."

After taking Xu Xianchun, killing Wei Zhongxian, and then getting rid of Yan Peiwei, is it possible that the superiors can still suppress him from being promoted to a hundred households?

In fact, Lu Jianxing also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't care. Firstly, he didn't know that the body in the coffin was a fake. Secondly, what Zhang Ying said made sense. The Jinyiwei came to take people, and they didn't confiscate the family and exterminate the family. Yan Peiwei's There is no reason for the family to resist violently.

Because they were given three days off after returning yesterday, Lu Jianxing didn't know that Eunuch Lin, who he was friends with, had been found. Facing the aggressive Zhang Ying, the most rational choice was to surrender.

The three brothers left the crowd and walked towards Yan's mansion.

Just like what was shown in the movie, after entering the courtyard and explaining their intention, Yan Peiwei agreed to go to the Yamen to talk with the three of them. At this moment, a flying arrow shot into the courtyard from the outside and pierced Yan Peiwei's chest.

When Yan Yanbin saw that his father was dead, he was so angry that he ordered the knife-wielding disciples around him to kill three people to avenge his father.

At this time, Lu Jianxing suddenly realized that it was a lie that Zhang Ying sent them into the house to seize people, but it was true to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

While watching and helping each other, the three of them fought hard and slowly retreated to the entrance, trying to open the door and escape, but the door was locked from the outside.

Looking at the waves of diners rushing over in front of them, Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan were gritting their teeth. Lu Jianxing was so angry. You said that when Boss Lin wanted to kill Zhang Ying to free up hundreds of households for him, why did he just give it to him? Rejected?

It's a pity that there is no regret in selling medicine.

Outside, at the entrance of the alley diagonally across from Yan's Mansion, the small window of the sedan chair was opened, and behind it was Zhao Jingzhong's leisurely and contented face.

The most satisfying thing is to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
