Xie Xuan helped the envoy into the carriage and was about to leave the backyard. As soon as the courtyard door was opened, two guns/guns crossed in front of the carriage, and two soldiers in iron armor blocked their way with weapons in hand.The groom tremblingly opened the heavy curtain, terrified.Xie Xuan patted himself on the head, worried all night, and even forgot the token given by Li Yong.He took out the token from his arms and showed it to the guard at the door. The guard immediately knelt down and saluted, and let Xie Xuan go out.When going out, Xie Xuan asked someone to light a red lantern, and it was unimpeded to walk all the way, and arrived at Dali Temple smoothly in Zishi.

Li Yong had already returned from the palace. He had just settled down and returned to his room to take a sip of hot tea. When he saw Xie Xuan approaching, he stood up excitedly to greet him. He made too much of a move and knocked over his teacup and spilled hot water all over his body. don't care.

Xie Xuan took a handkerchief from the shelf at the door and gave it to Li Yong, signaling him not to worry. "I stood in the mansion for two hours. There was movement at the time of Xu. I guarded the door of the house as planned. I could hear the sound of fighting outside in my mansion. After the time of Hai, there was no sound. At that time, I was the most nervous I didn’t dare to open the door until I heard the sound of horse’s hooves, and I knew that it was not the soldiers of An Yonghou’s family but the cavalry gathered in the city, so I dared to relax.”

"You don't know how smooth it was tonight. As we expected, there were no mistakes. I never thought that this rebellion would end so easily. Outside, Zi Junhou's soldiers have already been controlled. The leaders of the soldiers have been killed, and the rest are willing to surrender by themselves; the second prince of the palace forced the palace in front of all civil and military officials at the banquet. With a knife to help out, Liu Jin took it down on the spot."

"Great, great!" Xie Xuan has experienced many good and bad things since his rebirth, but to be honest, this is indeed the most exciting moment for him.Ever since he was lucky enough to reopen his eyes, what he feared the most was the rebellion of King Yi and the second prince. In his last life, he was a wronged soul for no reason, and even made Li's family and Li Zhiyuan sad for him.In this life, he has been cautious from the very beginning, and he almost wanted to defect to King Yi and become a treacherous minister, but luckily he didn't have to.Fortunately, everything went well, and he didn't have to violate his conscience or tarnish his family's lintel.

"It's really good, Brother Xie, do you know what is better?"

"what?"

"Better yet, the emperor decreed that King Yi and the second prince were guilty of serious crimes, so they were not allowed to enter the clan's residence, and they were sent directly to Dali Temple for our trial first. We have already investigated this case before, so there is no need to worry about it." The case will be closed in a few days, and after the trial of the three divisions, the emperor will send me to take care of the military department, and Brother Xie will keep an eye on the entire Dali Temple."

"Brother Li's implication is that the emperor intends it?"

"I intend to promote you. Now is the time for employing people. The emperor doesn't care about the lintel, let alone seniority. Congratulations to brother Xie first." Li Yong laughed.

"It's not congratulatory if the emperor doesn't make a decree for a day, but I'm really happy. It's been three years, and finally on this day, Zi Junhou and his party have been taken into custody?" Xie Xuan has been concerned about the Lu family for so many years At the beginning, the clue was broken on Lin Gu, but since he knew that Lin Chi belonged to King Yi, there was no need to investigate how he died. Now he has better clues to interrogate.

Li Yong answered where he was being held, Xie Xuan didn't stay any longer, and ordered Zi Junhou to be interrogated immediately, and someone to take him to the interrogation room.When he stepped out of Li Yong's room, there was no smile on his face anymore, just looking at him made people shiver with cold.

Because Zi Junhou was supporting him outside the palace, the rebellion was earlier than in the palace, and it was quelled sooner. He was imprisoned by An Yonghou in the dungeon of Dali Temple just after Haishi.When someone came in to drag him to the interrogation room, he was sitting on the bed thinking hard about what went wrong, which caused the rebellion to fail so thoroughly that it didn't even cause a ripple in Beijing.

In the interrogation room, Xie Xuan was wearing a black official uniform, which was the most serious among the several official uniforms. The gold thread and cinnabar thread on the top were densely drawn with some lines, and the black official hat with the black official cap really made people feel different. very frightened.When he first got the clothes, as soon as he put them on, Li Zhiyuan said he looked like a Rakshasa and told him not to wear them again.During the trial on weekdays, in order not to frighten the prisoners, he tried to wear softer official uniforms, but today he specially changed into this one.At this time, he was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, with the writing table in front of him, and the person kneeling down on his head was Zi Junhou, and behind him were various instruments of torture.Because Da Qi did not explicitly prohibit torture when he opened his dynasty, there was also a charcoal fire rack in this room, which was used to burn the iron, which was never used in normal times, but it was burning hot at this time.

Xie Xuan looked at Zi Junhou who was kneeling down with a lofty attitude, without saying a word.At first, Zi Junhou raised his head and gritted his teeth to meet his gaze, but later he gradually felt guilty, and even got goose bumps all over his body when Xie Xuan looked at him, and panicked. "Xie Xuan, if you want to ask, just ask. What are people doing to bring me and stare at me? Is it possible that you don't recognize the old man?"

"I know, of course I know." Xie Xuan smiled, his tone sounded very relaxed, "I heard that Junhou Zi has been imprisoned for half an hour, and he hasn't changed his prison uniform for half an hour. Could it be that he is reluctant to part with this skin? ?”

Zi Junhou wanted to defend himself, but Xie Xuan didn't give him this chance, and continued: "That's right, this son, Lord Hou, has been hereditary for three generations, and his ancestors are loyal and loyal. Master Hou, I would not be able to accept it. After this turmoil, not to mention Master Hou himself, even Zi Junhou’s name will disappear without a trace and can no longer wear it. Master Hou has at least The glory has passed, and death for rebellion is considered a worthy death, and there is no regret in dying, but it is a pity that Xiao Zhan has been in the Yulin Army for so many years, and he was only made a son by the emperor last year. Exit. Tsk tsk tsk, I feel very regretful when I think about it, at least it was a classmate back then."

"Xie Xuan!" Zi Junhou roared, "Win the king and lose the bandit, I did what I shouldn't do, I confess the guilt I should admit, and I will punish what I should punish. Why do you talk about these things to provoke me! You want to kill me!" If you want to cut it, I won't believe Xiao if you say a word, why bother to talk about these things?"

"Master Hou also knows that if he does something wrong, he will be punished. Does Master Hou think that if you confess such a serious crime of rebellion today, I will be able to ask the emperor to kill Lord Hou tomorrow? It is too much to think Relax." Xie Xuan said with a smile on his face, "Dali Temple will try first, and I will have the final say on when the trial will be over. After Dali Temple has passed the trial, it will take at least two months for the three divisions to have a joint trial. Then I will ask the emperor for approval. It's been another month. It will take less than half a year to finish the trial of Lord Hou, but don't worry about Master Hou in these six months. Xie Xuan will never make things difficult for Lord Hou. After all, you are old. Gao Wuwu suffers from these tortures again. However, Xiao Zhan was in his youth, and he had nothing to say about his physical strength. Coincidentally, the emperor just found an ancient book for me from the library in the palace a few days ago. As for punishment, it would be more appropriate to use it on Young Master."

"Xie Xuan! Xie Xuan!" Zi Junhou was so excited by Xie Xuan that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. "Why? I have no grievances with you, why do you treat my son like this?"

"Isn't it a coincidence, Mr. Xiao, this junior just happened to have a question why I wanted to ask you." Xie Xuan stood up, frowning, and retreated everyone, and walked to Zi Junhou step by step, squatting beside him, Looking straight into his eyes, he asked, "Dare to ask Lord Hou, what kind of enmity do the seventy members of the Lu family have against Lord Hou, and how could Master Hou make such a big situation and kill their whole family?"
