"Lin Lei?" Yan Qiqi frowned. It was such a familiar name. She had heard others mention it before, but she had forgotten it now.
"The sect master is Lin Xiaofeng's son." Shuishui Shang reminded.
"Oh." Yan Qiqi suddenly said, "After Lin Xiaofeng died, didn't he leave the Tiansha Sect, how could he..."
I remember that after Lin Xiaofeng died, his son Lin Lei left.
She once wanted to eliminate this Lin Lei from future troubles. At that time, she had just become the sect leader. If she killed Lin Xiaofeng, she would definitely be exposed and make the brothers in the Tiansha sect feel chilled.
She had seen Lin Lei before. He was a timid playboy with little ability. He had never done anything bad except for drinking, sex and gambling. This kind of person posed no threat to her, so she let him leave Kai Tiansha.
Door.
She even forgot that he knew the address and internal structure of Tiansha Sect, as well as the distribution of agencies around Tiansha Sect. It was her moment of soft-heartedness that actually caused today's catastrophe.
If she had not worried so much at the beginning, killing Lin Lei directly would not have brought the Tiansha Sect to its current situation.
However, even without Lin Lei, there would still be other traitors. After all, people can easily lose their minds in the face of money.
Not long after, two guards came in with a man wearing a white prison uniform.
The man's hair was messy, his body was skinny, and his face was pale. It seemed that Lin Lei's life was not very good after Lin Xiaofeng's death.
At that time, Lin Xiaofeng's family assets were confiscated, but she must still have a lot of savings elsewhere, and she did not ask anyone to conduct an in-depth investigation. This amount of money should be enough for Lin Lei's lifetime expenses.
But no matter how much money there is, it is not enough for a lustful and gambling person. He is used to the days of rich clothes and fine food, and the warmth and soft jade in his arms. How can he bear the days of poverty and hunger?
Yan Qiqi always disguised herself as the leader of the Tiansha Sect, and everyone outside believed that the leader of the Tiansha Sect was a young man.
So after Lin Lei entered the hall, he only glanced at Yan Qiqi and quickly moved away.
When he saw Shuishui Shang, who was sitting on the ground and was seriously injured, his pale face instantly turned white again.
Shuishui Shang glared at him coldly. If he hadn't been injured and couldn't move, he would have pounced on him and beat him up.
"I..." Although Shuishui Shang was injured like this, Lin Lei was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.
He stopped far away from Shuishui Shang, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Common people see my emperor, long live my emperor!"
"Yeah." Yin Xianglong didn't let him stand up. He moved his eyes to look at Yan Qiqi and his wife, signaling them to start asking.
Yin Tianjue found a chair and sat down on his own, watching the changes.
Yan Qiqi walked up to Lin Lei and looked down at him, "Your name is Lin Lei, right?"
"Yes..." Lin Lei looked up at her, full of confusion.
"Princess Rui." Yin Tianjue spit out three words.
At this time, Lin Lei saw Yin Tianjue sitting on the side and kowtowed to him quickly, "Common people, please see Prince Rui and Princess Rui."
When his father was still alive, the sale he most wanted to complete was Yin Tianjue's head. Although he had never seen the deity, he had seen Yin Tianjue's portrait.
"Are you Lin Lei?" Yan Qiqi asked again.
"Princess, the common man is Lin Lei." Lin Lei replied respectfully.
Although she was wondering why she knew his name, she didn't dare to ask more questions due to her noble status.
Yan Qiqi lowered her eyes and squinted at him, and said coldly: "You were the one who told the court the address of Tiansha Sect, huh?"
"Yes, they are Cao Min." Lin Lei said nervously, and then his eyes flashed slightly, and he said seriously, "The Tiansha Sect actually assassinated the emperor and burned the emperor's tomb. Cao Min, as a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven, is very angry and hates Tian Sha.
I feel shameful about what the Tiansha Sect has done, so I came to help the Emperor eradicate this evil sect of the Tiansha Sect."
"That's nonsense. When did our Tiansha Sect ever do such a thing?" After hearing what he said, Shuishui Shang became furious and rushed over regardless of his own injuries. "I must kill you, a traitor, today."
However, he was seriously injured and fell to the ground before he could stand up. He could only lie on the ground, gritting his teeth and staring angrily at Lin Lei.
Lin Lei was so scared that he almost screamed, but when he saw that he was so injured that he couldn't stand up, he felt confident for a moment.
He smiled proudly at Shuishui Shang and said: "The Tiansha Sect has done countless unscrupulous things. Now that it has reached this point, it is your own fault. You, ouch——"
Before he could say anything, Yan Qiqi kicked him, sending him flying two or three steps.
"Who is it..." Lin Lei was about to curse, but immediately stopped when he saw the person who kicked him. Although his heart was filled with anger, he did not dare to show it at all.
Enduring the pain on his body, he knelt down and asked Yan Qiqi in confusion, "Princess Rui, what did the common people do wrong? You kicked the common people for no reason."
Yan Qiqi raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly, "I don't like you, so I want to kick you."
When she came out, Lin Lei almost fell down, and the resentment in his heart increased even more.
"Princess Rui has a noble status, but I am just a common man. If you kick the common man, the common man will naturally not dare to say anything. But as a citizen of the Kingdom of Lietian, you cannot be so coward, otherwise it will make people from other countries look down on you. Common people also have their own problems."
Dignified.”
After Lin Lei made a series of impassioned speeches, he turned to Yin Xianglong and said sternly: "Your Majesty, the wise Lord, certainly cannot bear to see the people of the Kingdom of Heaven being bullied, so I ask Your Majesty to make decisions for the common people."
"Haha..." Yan Qiqi couldn't help but laugh. She didn't expect that this gambler who had been drained by alcohol and sex would actually say these words. She really looked down on him before.
Yin Xianglong's eyes darkened slightly and he said calmly to Yan Qiqi: "Girl Ping, just sit next to Jue'er honestly. I'm here to ask questions."
"Yes, Father." Yan Qiqi glared at Lin Lei, turned around and sat next to Yin Tianjue.
Yin Tianjue immediately poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, "Here."
"Oh." Yan Qiqi took a sip and put it down.
He lowered his voice and whispered to Yin Tianjue: "Who do you think ordered him? It was Yin Tianqi the next day?"
Yin Tianjue condensed slightly on Lin Lei, "Both."
"Yeah, I think so too." Yin Tianqi was familiar with the imperial palace and the imperial mausoleum. He asked Shuishui Shang to be led to the imperial mausoleum the next day, and he framed everything on Tiansha's family, and used the power of the court to bring Tiansha to justice.
Remove the door.
But why did Yin Tianqi do this? Was it because he insulted Yin Tianqi in the woods last time, which angered Yin Tianqi and made him attack the Tiansha Sect?
However, this does not seem to make sense. Even if the Tiansha Sect is unwilling to cooperate with him, there is no need to eradicate the Tiansha Sect. After all, it is better not to become the enemy of the Tiansha Sect at this time.
At this moment, Yan Qiqi's mind suddenly started to flash, and she suddenly thought of something.
He immediately pulled Yin Tianjue's clothes and whispered: "Yin Tianjue, Yin Tianqi should know my identity."
That night when she met Yin Tianqi, both she and Yin Tianjue showed their flaws.
Also, after a few months since that day, Yin Tianqi did not take action, but chose to take action when she and Yin Tianjue were leaving.
If she could lead the water into the imperial mausoleum the next day, she must have known that she sent people to track down the whereabouts of the next day, so she did it deliberately.
Thinking about it this way, Yin Tianqi should have known her true identity a long time ago, and took advantage of the fact that she and Yin Tian were not around to attack the Tiansha Sect.
Yin Tianjue looked at her sideways and said, "I don't think so. Yin Tianqi only found out about your identity recently."
"How to say?"
"Aqi, what do you think? With Yin Tianqi's temperament, if he knew your identity, he would definitely publicize it in the court. You are my princess. If my princess were the boss of the killer organization, many stubborn ministers would definitely switch sides.
, it will be of great benefit to him."
Yan Qiqi was silent for a moment and nodded, "It's not bad what you said. It is probably the result of the investigation these days. They uprooted the Tiansha Sect while we were away, and then pointed out my identity after we came back."
"Well, you're not stupid." Yin Tianjue looked at him with praise.
Yan Qiqi gave him a sideways look. She didn't have time to argue with him now, she still had to do business first.
Looking at Lin Lei coldly, she said faintly: "Lin Lei, I want to ask you, who asked you to come here to report."
"Yes..." Lin Lei's eyes flickered a few times guiltily, "It's the common people who came here voluntarily."
"Really?" Yan Qiqi looked at him thoughtfully, "How do you know that the emperor is going to encircle and suppress the Tiansha Sect? Where did this news come from?"
On their way to the imperial city, she and Yin Tianjue had never heard of anyone posting an imperial list for the address of the Tiansha Sect. How did this person know that Yin Xianglong was going to send troops to encircle and suppress the Tiansha Sect.
"Yes..." Lin Lei lowered his head, his eyes flashing, not knowing how to answer.
"It was Prime Minister You who brought him here to see me." Yin Xianglong answered for him.
"Right Prime Minister?" Yan Qiqi was a little confused as to who this person was.
Yin Tianjue said slightly: "He is Yin Tianqi's uncle."
This girl usually doesn't care about government affairs. She probably hasn't figured out what the official positions in the court are yet.
"Oh, that's it." Yan Qiqi smiled sarcastically and looked at Lin Lei with cold eyes, "Didn't you just talk about yourself? Why did your father say that you were brought here by the right prime minister, and how the prime minister found you."
It's obviously a guilty conscience.
A thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on Lin Lei's forehead, and he did not dare to wipe it away.
After thinking for a moment, he quickly said: "Cao Min and You Prime Minister Liu Rui know each other, and they often interact with each other. That day Cao Min and Liu Rui were drinking, and they overheard that the imperial court wanted to encircle and suppress Tiansha Sect. Cao Min once stayed in Tiansha Sect for a while.
, are relatively familiar with the terrain there, so the common people recommended themselves to be this guide, which can be regarded as contributing to the country."
"I didn't expect you to be very understanding of justice." Yan Qiqi said sarcastically.
He stood up and walked to Lin Lei with a smile, squatted down and looked at him with a smile, "Lin Lei, I know someone gave you money to tell you that, is that right?"
"No, no..." Lin Lei looked at her beautiful little face with a smile and couldn't help but slide his throat a few times.
Since the day he entered the palace as a guide, he had been imprisoned and had not been affectionate with a woman for several days.
Now looking at this woman who is even more beautiful than the oiran in Lianxin Courtyard, my heart is itching and I really want to press her down and ravage her severely.
But he had such a lustful heart but not such a lustful courage. He would not dare to touch this woman even if he lent him ten lives.
Yan Qiqi naturally saw what he was thinking, and although it was a little disgusting, she still endured it.
Still smiling, she said softly: "Lin Lei, let's do this. You will tell the person who asked you to come to the palace to inform you, and I will reward you with a hundred thousand taels of silver, plus ten beauties. How about it."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and dangled them in front of his eyes, "These are one hundred thousand taels of banknotes. If you tell me, I will give you these banknotes immediately and give you ten more."
First-class beauties, they are three points more beautiful than the courtesans in Lianxin Courtyard."
Lin Lei looked at the banknotes floating back and forth in front of his eyes, his eyes suddenly glowed with gold, revealing a greedy look.
"Anyway, I'm not from the Tiansha Sect. It doesn't matter if you tell us. Maybe when my father is happy, he will reward the person who asked you to come. When that person gets the reward, you will definitely benefit from it." Yan Yan
Qiqi continued to lie.
"Really?" Lin Lei was a little moved.
Yan Qiqi raised her eyebrows, "It's absolutely true. This is not a shameful thing. Recommending talented people is a great achievement. I believe that my father will definitely reward him and he will definitely thank you."
As long as there is no evidence, Yin Xianglong will not punish his son. Even if it is suspected that Yin Tianqi did it, evidence must be found for the current plan.
Lin Lei pondered for a moment and said: "Yes, His Highness the King of Jin asked the common people to come."
"Oh, really?" Yan Qiqi smiled, stood up from the ground, and said to Yin Xianglong, "Father, can you let Prince Jin come here."
Yin Xianglong narrowed his eyes slightly and asked someone to call Yin Tianqi who was ordered to encircle and suppress the Tiansha Sect.
"Father, I don't think you can conclude based on these few low-level tokens that it's the Tiansha Sect. Also, Ah Shang's pursuit of Ping'er the next day is the task assigned to him. He doesn't intend to enter the imperial mausoleum, so please ask Father
Let’s release the Tiansha Sect first and wait until the investigation is clear.”
It's one thing to settle a score with Yin Tianqi, but it's another thing to save the Tiansha clan's brothers. Those people have been besieged for seven days, and if they are trapped any longer, someone will definitely die.
Ah Feng was also seriously injured and needed medical treatment.
Yin Xianglong lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Okay, for the sake of the Tiansha Sect's meritorious service, I will withdraw our troops for the time being until we find out more about it."
"Father, Ping'er has one more thing to do."
"Say it."
Yan Qiqi glanced at Shuishui Shang who was lying on the ground, and couldn't bear it, so she said, "Father, can you find an imperial doctor to take a closer look at Shuishui Shang first? He will find out that Ping'er asked him to do what happened the next day.
Entering the imperial mausoleum was an unintentional mistake. It is better to wait until the matter is clarified and then deal with it differently, so as not to unjustly accuse a good person."
"Okay, since you girl Ping has said so, how can I not be merciful?" Yin Xianglong ordered, "Someone please hire an imperial doctor for Shuishui Shang and take him down for diagnosis and treatment."
"Thank you, father." Yan Qiqi thanked him immediately.
Yin Xianglong nodded "Yeah." and said nothing more.
At this time, two guards came in and pulled Shuishui Shang's shoulders to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Yan Qiqi walked over immediately.
The two guards quickly put down Shuishui Shang, bent down and said, "What orders does the princess have?"
Yan Qiqi lowered her eyes and glanced at Shuishui Shang, and pointed at one of the stronger guards: "You, carry him on your back, and there are still good people waiting on you. Let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat him carefully. If anything goes wrong with him, I will never do it."
I will let you and the imperial physician go, and by the way, I will pass this on to the imperial physician who is treating him, you know."
"Yes, Princess." The two guards immediately bent down and agreed without asking why.
The guard who was named carefully carried Shuishui Shang on his back, saluted Yin Xianglong, and the two of them walked out of the hall.
Lin Lei looked at her behavior with confusion, but did not dare to ask.
Seeing his doubts, Yan Qiqi rolled her eyes upwards and sighed: "Oh, why is this princess so kind? She doesn't want to see others getting hurt, alas..."
"Poor man, he was beaten like this." He sighed and sat back down next to Yin Tianjue.
The corners of Yin Tianjue's lips twitched, this girl's kindness was rare.
"Stinky girl." Yin Xianglong rolled his eyes at her, knowing that she was blaming him for torturing Shuishui Shang and besieging Tiansha Sect.
Being assassinated and having his ancestral graves burned, anyone would be outraged if such a thing happened to him. He was the king of a country. This was simply a great shame and humiliation.
However, I didn't know who the leader of the Tiansha Sect was before, and I didn't doubt its authenticity. Now I know that the leader of the Tiansha Sect is this girl, and the person who assassinated him and burned the emperor's tomb should not be the Tiansha Sect.
He believed that Ping Yatou would never do such a thing.
This time, the location where Jue'er's mother and queen were was burned the most, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry.
Since Ping Yatou is the owner of the sect, she will definitely not accept the business of burning her mother-in-law's grave.
However, Tiansha Sect cannot be excluded.
Ping Yatou and Jue'er had been away for a month, and there was no guarantee that someone in the Tiansha Sect was greedy for money, so they took over these two business deals.
But what happened to these five black tokens? He believed what Ping Yatou and Jue'er said.
Why send low-level assassins to assassinate him? The palace is heavily guarded and his head is not so easy to get. Could it be that someone really deliberately framed him.
He once tortured Shuishui Shang and asked him to recruit the person who was doing business with him, but he refused to tell whether he was alive or dead.
When asked why he wanted to enter the imperial mausoleum, he still didn't tell. From the moment he was caught, he only said six words: "I didn't burn it, I don't know."
At that time, I was still wondering about the address of Tianshamen and who the buyer was. He was excused for not telling me. I asked him if he burned the imperial tomb, and he said, "I didn't burn it." When asked why he wanted to enter the imperial tomb, he also didn't.
Then he said nothing.
There is no need to think about it now, it must be that Ping Yatou's identity is afraid of being exposed, so she refuses to reveal the purpose of entering the imperial mausoleum.
I have to admit that this Shuishui Shang is a real tough guy, and even though he was tortured to extract a confession, he didn't say anything harmful to the girl Ping.
Thinking of this, he moved his eyes to look at Yan Qiqi. He thought that this daughter-in-law was not simple before.
There are too many doubts about her, and now she has the identity of Tianshamen. I don't know whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage to Jue'er.
Seeing Yin Xianglong looking over, Yan Qiqi stuck out her tongue playfully at him and made a face.
"Naughty." Yin Xianglong cursed with a smile.
Yan Qiqi said nothing more and sat there quietly waiting for Yin Tianqi to arrive.
She couldn't get the Tiansha Sect off the hook completely now. After all, she and Yin Tianjue had been away for more than a month. Now she could only find loopholes in Yin Tianqi's words.
Half an hour later, Yin Tianqi hurried in with a gloomy face.
Entering the main hall, when they saw Yan Qiqi and Yin Tianjue, a look of surprise flashed on their faces.
