The general went out again at night + extra episode

"However, Brother Jun, these two have cooperated with me for many years, and there is some kind of favor between them. After the Xia family is brought down, we must leave a way for them to survive."

"Don't worry, third brother, Shijun has made arrangements." Ouyang Shijun patted the back of Zhao Yebin's hand on the table, with an inscrutable smile on his mouth.

"Also, younger brother Jun, you must not tell your father about this matter. He always says that I am not good enough, and this time I will solve the serious problem of the Xia family for him, so that he will be impressed."

Ouyang Shijun nodded with a smile: "If this matter is successful, the third brother will take the lead, and the godfather will definitely abandon the previous view."

Satisfied, Zhao Yebin took a sip of the tea cup, then said slowly, "But having said that, I don't know what idea Xia Qingshu has now, I always feel uneasy, should we get some for her? Trouble, toss it? Can you do it?"

"Of course there are ways." Ouyang Shijun squinted and smiled.

Zhao Yebin stroked his beard with great joy, and urged: "Quickly tell me."

The two leaned closer, whispering in secret.

After hearing the strategy, Zhao Yebin laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and boasted repeatedly: "Good strategy! Not only will it bring Xia Qingshu a bad reputation, but it will also help us in our last heavy blow."

Ouyang Shijun narrowed his eyes, and said with a sneer: "As long as these key chess pieces are controlled by us, everything will be safe."

On the afternoon of the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, a rumor spread throughout the streets and alleys of Nanjing.Rumor has it that the person behind the assassination of the Zhou family's son has been found out, and it is the enemy of the Zhou family - the Zhao family.

All of a sudden, the Zhao family was pushed to the forefront.

In less than a day, the rumors spread more and more outrageous. At first, they were just guesses, but after spreading to a few people, they became a certainty. Many ignorant people surrounded the gate of the Zhao Mansion, forcing the Zhao Mansion to hand over the assassins to keep the peace of the capital. .

Emperor Hongsu was furious when he heard about it.The investigators have not yet found out the real culprit behind the scenes, and there is no conclusion. Someone must be behind the scenes.Emperor Hongsu sent officials to appease the people, and ordered the soldiers and horses of the five cities to arrest those who spread rumors.

The public's anger was suppressed, but Zhao Ge's disciples were completely enraged, and they wrote letters one after another to complain about the university scholars. One or two of them pointed the finger at Xia Qingshu, saying that she deliberately used the Zhao family as a scapegoat if she couldn't catch the assassin.

Xia Qingshu didn't say a word, and stayed in the mansion to raise flowers and play with birds after returning from Bieyuan, leisurely.

There was another round of impeachment in the court, and Emperor Hongsu was the first and the second big.However, the direction of public opinion changed suddenly. Those who had previously spoken of the evil of the Zhao Mansion began to praise the virtues of the Zhao Mansion, and some people began to attack Xia Qingshu who was idle in the mansion and did nothing.

From the beginning to the end, Xia Qingshu didn't argue a word, and there were no officials in the court to complain about her, and the people were angry again.

***

Zhao Yanyuan did not expect that the current situation had evolved to this point. He knew a little about Ouyang Shijun's strategy, but he never participated or asked about it.But Xia Qingshu is easier to deal with than he imagined, this warrior who is not familiar with the depths of the court will definitely suffer a big loss when facing a counselor.As long as his actions lead a few key people to the front of the hall, Xia Qingshu has no chance of fighting back.

Xia Qingshu fell, and if he forged some evidence to implicate the entire Xia family, the entire southeast coast would be under his control.

Zhao Yanyuan stroked his long gray beard, frowned slightly, and suddenly hesitated.At first, he felt that this plan was too risky, so he let Ouyang Shijun plan it alone, and he picked the whole Zhao family clean.

Now he has a great chance of winning, it can almost be said that he has secured the victory, so he is ready to move.Ouyang Shijun was courageous and resourceful, but he was still young, and he did not pursue an official career. When he faced the emperor at the top of the golden palace, he would not be nervous.

He has been through three dynasties, he has seen strong winds and waves, no matter who or what he faces, he can be calm and calm, and he is not frightened by pampering. Undoubtedly, he is the most suitable person to expose the Xia family's "conspiracy" in the Golden Palace.

What about the consequences, if... If he loses, he has to face the emperor's accusation and punishment... Can he bear this consequence...

Thinking of this, Zhao Yanyuan hesitated again and again.

"Knock, knock, knock—" While hesitating, there was a knock on the door of the study, Zhao Yanyuan came back to his senses, the coldness in his eyes dissipated, he leaned back on the chair behind him, and asked warmly, "What's the matter?"

The butler outside the door hurriedly said: "My lord, Your Highness the eldest princess is here to visit! Hurry up and pick her up!"

"What!" Zhao Yanyuan suddenly leaned forward, grasped the crutch leaning against the desk, and walked anxiously to the door of the study.

After leaving the door of the study, the housekeeper and a servant girl supported him, and they both supported him to walk to the front hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Zhao Yanyuan hurriedly went to the two people who were supporting him, and tremblingly said: "It's our house's great fortune that Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is here. The old minister is late, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yanyuan wanted to kneel down and salute, but Ji Qianyao quickly walked up to him and stopped him: "Old Zhao Ge, there is no need to be too polite, get up quickly."

Ji Qianyao's eyes were full of sincerity, and the servants of the Zhao family were overjoyed after seeing it.Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is indifferent, and she lives reclusively after leaving the court, and treats the ministers in the court very plainly, but treats her master differently. If she gets the elixir ginseng, most of them will be sent to Zhao's residence!

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhao Yanyuan bowed slightly to thank, smiling so much that his eyes were covered by white eyebrows, leaving an indistinct curved line.
