Zuodu Censor Yuan Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, he was a little surprised that Wei Yuan would support his plan, knowing that in this way, he would be able to avoid the turmoil of the imperial examination fraud case and stay out of it.

After thinking about it, this matter is in line with His Majesty's wishes. There are honorable nobles inside to help out, and the barbarian army "puts pressure" on the outside.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yuan changed the subject and said, "However, before that, I have something to tell Your Majesty."

Everyone followed the sound and looked over.

Wei Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he ignored the prince's gaze.

Emperor Yuan Jing said: "Say."

"The gong under my hand found a group of Jianghu people fighting to death in the outskirts of the capital, and stepped forward to stop it. Who knew that the party with more people not only did not give up, but beheaded the beheaded and escaped."

Wei Yuan spoke loudly, as if the truth of the matter was what he said: "Before dying, the deceased shouted, "There are changes in the north."

Hearing Wei Yuan's words, the faces of all the princes present, including Emperor Yuan Jing, changed.

Chu Xianglong turned his head violently, stared at Wei Yuan, and then retracted his gaze immediately, not daring to offend, and said with a straight neck:

"Naturally, there have been changes in the north. The barbarians plundered everywhere and provoked wars."

Wei Yuan's face was calm, "So, the barbarians have slaughtered three thousand miles in the north, and General Chu prevaricates them with a word of burning, killing and looting?"

This sentence shocked everyone present, Yuan Jingdi got up from the big chair and stared straight at the Tsing Yi under the hall:

"Wei Yuan, please speak clearly, what is blood slaughter for three thousand miles?!"

Chu Xianglong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely nothing"

"you shut up!"

Emperor Yuan Jing raised his hand to interrupt, gave him a cold look, then turned to Wei Yuan: "What evidence do you have?"

Wei Yuan reached into his bosom, took out the sachet, untied the red rope, a stream of green smoke floated out, twisted in mid-air and transformed into a man with a blurred face and dull eyes, muttering:

"Blood slaughter for three thousand miles, blood slaughter for three thousand miles, please send troops to crusade"

Wei Yuan continued: "This person's body has been brought by my minister, it's just outside the palace gate, His Majesty can send someone for an autopsy, this person is from the Northland!"

In the imperial study room, there was silence.

Emperor Yuan Jing got up slowly, with a gloomy face, and said word by word: "Autopsy!"

The old eunuch lowered his head and hurried back to deliver the order, as if he was running away, not daring to breathe.

Emperor Yuan Jing sat high on the dragon chair, his expression was gloomy, and he didn't say a word.The princes below exchanged glances silently, and Chu Xianglong also turned pale, staring at Wei Yuan from the corner of his eye.

After waiting agonizingly for a quarter of an hour, the old eunuch returned and whispered in Emperor Yuan Jing's ear.

Emperor Yuan Jing was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "I'm tired of having the sorcerer Si Tianjian come into the palace to ask questions. All my loves, please go to the side hall to rest for a while."

He stared at Chu Xianglong, and said in a deep voice, "You stay here."

After finishing speaking, he got up first and left the imperial study room.

Under the leadership of the eunuch, the princes went to the side hall to rest.

Inside the hall.

Hubu Shangshu held the tea, took a sip, looked sideways at the expressionless Wei Yuan, and asked tentatively, "Duke Wei, is this serious?"

All the officials immediately looked at Wei Yuan, who looked serious, and returned a cold look to the Minister of the Household Department: "Master Zhao thinks, I am joking?"

"Don't dare."

The Minister of the Household Department sighed: "Three thousand miles of bloody massacre, if this is true, how many people will die in the northern border? There are dark men all over the Yamen, why haven't we received any news?"

Wei Yuan did not respond to Hubu Shangshu's temptation.

Wang Shoufu narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.

After two sticks of incense passed, the old eunuch entered the side hall and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please return to the imperial study."

Next, the magician in white who was summoned by Si Tianjian questioned Chu Xianglong. The answer was as expected, and everything Chu Xianglong said was true.

King Zhenbei defeated the barbarians in the north, but the guerrilla tactics of the northern barbarians did bring huge troubles to King Zhenbei and exhausted the northern frontier army.

The barbarian army was kept out of the border, and the bloody three thousand miles would naturally cease to exist.

In the imperial study room, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"Humph!"

Chu Xianglong snorted coldly: "I don't know where Duke Wei got the news, it almost made His Majesty and the princes misunderstand the prince. The general thought about it, the prince didn't offend Duke Wei either."

Wei Yuan ignored him, stepped out, and said loudly: "This matter is very important, what this person said may be true, but it doesn't mean that the situation in the north is really like this."

Chu Xianglong raised his brows and was about to refute, but Wang Shoufu came out to agree:

"Your Majesty, I feel that Wei Gong's words are justified. The matter is of great importance and cannot be neglected. It must be thoroughly investigated."

Driven by Wang Shoufu and Wei Yuan, the princes responded one after another.

Emperor Yuan Jing pondered: "What do you think, how do you investigate this matter?"

Wang Shoufu said: "Your Majesty can continue to collect food, grass, and military pay, and transport them to Chuzhou. At the same time, send a team of imperial envoys to go to the northern border to thoroughly investigate the case."

Wei Yuan said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Emperor Yuan Jing nodded: "That's it."

Xu House.

Susu sat on the eaves with a red umbrella to block the sun, watching Xiao Douding walking in the yard.

In the hall next door, Li Miaozhen was talking to the mistress and miss of the Xu family.

When my aunt and Xu Lingyue heard that there was another guest staying at home, they were in a very unhappy mood.

The former thinks that if things go on like this, the family will become a philanthropic hall.The latter felt that this woman was too beautiful and threatened him.

Except for the woman in Taoist robes, the woman in white clothes like snow outside made Xu Lingyue feel like she had no chance of winning based on her appearance alone, and she was even slightly inferior.

The woman holding the red umbrella has an unspeakable charm, which is very attractive.

However, after hearing that Li Miao was really Xu Qi'an's savior, my aunt and Xu Lingyue immediately changed their attitudes, showing a little more gratitude and welcome from the bottom of their hearts.

"The Xu family is worthy of being a family of warriors. I think that young lady is still young, and she is about to start practicing martial arts." Li Miaozhen is still very understanding of the world, and he did not forget to flatter her while chatting.
