Since I met you, people are dying every day

"What?" Ye Sirui thought he had heard wrong, and asked subconsciously.

Eunuch Feng still smiled and said: "Your Majesty ordered that Lord Ye and Guard Xia be invited to enter the palace together."

"Why?" Ye Sirui blurted out subconsciously, and then looked at Eunuch Feng who was smiling but silent.After a pause, he said: "Grandpa Lao, wait a moment, I'll call him right now."

"Then there is Mr. Lao."

Ye Sirui walked back to the Zhuangyuan Building calmly, then rushed upstairs like crazy, and knocked open the door.

"Why do you..." Before Zhou Yi could finish his sentence, Ye Sirui pushed him towards the window, "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Zhou Yi hugged his arms, "Calm down first, what's going on, aren't you going to enter the palace?"

"Your Majesty told you to go with me..." Ye Sirui's hands gradually lost strength.Zhou Yi looked at him and immediately understood what he meant. "Even if I escape, where can I escape to?"

Ye Sirui took a deep breath, "Go now, don't bring your luggage, go to the window, go to the eaves, in short, don't let them find you, I just went back to my father-in-law and I don't know where you went. They will know when they see your luggage You have been here, I am not lying. I will lead them to search around again, with your ability, you will be able to escape."

"And then?" Zhou Yi asked back. "I've been a fugitive all my life, never come to the capital again, never see you again?"

Ye Sirui's body was crumbling, "I only want you to live!" He gritted his teeth and said.

"Nothing will happen." Zhou Yi patted him on the shoulder slowly, "I'll go with you. At worst, just in case I run away again, don't you believe me?"

Can running from the palace be as difficult as running from here?Ye Sirui knew that he didn't want to be angered, so he could only say, "Then let's go down, it has been delayed for a long time."

Zhou Yi untied the sword that never left his body.Ye Sirui said: "Didn't you carry your dagger with you, take it out too."

Before entering the palace, a body search was required. If he was found with a dagger, he would be regarded as an assassin immediately.Zhou Yi blinked, took out the dagger, and pulled out a long black needle like a hairpin from his hair.

"Any other hidden weapons?" Ye Sirui asked.

"I use my sword upright, and never use hidden weapons." Zhou Yi replied proudly, opened the door and went downstairs.

Eunuch Feng was still waiting patiently by the sedan chair. When he saw Zhou Yi coming, he bowed his waist and said with a smile, "This is Guardian Xia?" Zhou Yi was not used to such respectful treatment, so he simply nodded.Eunuch Feng smiled and said, "Sure enough, I feel very heroic when I see it." Zhou Yi was silent, and Ye Sirui stepped forward a few steps, "Eunuch Lao, wait for a long time."

"Master Ye, you are being polite. It's not a long wait. Please get on the sedan chair, both of you."

Ye Sirui and Zhou Yi got into the sedan chair silently, and Eunuch Feng sat in another small sedan chair behind.The bearer silently lifted the sedan chair, and headed steadily towards Miyagi.

All the way without words.Ye Sirui had a lot of words in his heart that he wanted to say, and when he turned to his lips, meeting Zhou Yi's firm gaze, he felt that there was no need to say these.

As usual, after entering Miyagi, you have to get off the bus and walk.Only then did Ye Sirui remember to wish Zhou Yi not to look around.However, Zhou Yi lowered his gaze slightly and concentrated on walking, as if he did not follow his instructions.They didn't go directly to the Nuan Pavilion, but turned a corner and entered the side hall. "Guard Xia is the first time meeting the saint. Our family has a few words to tell you." Eunuch Feng raised his hand, and a maid came forward, holding a set of clothes in her arms. "I'll do it myself," Zhou Yi said.

Eunuch Feng smiled, "Guards Xia don't have to be restrained, they are used to serving people." The maid led Zhou Yi to change clothes behind the screen, both changing clothes and searching his body carefully from head to toe.

When Zhou Yi came out, he was still a little embarrassed. The maid apparently didn't notice anything, and retreated silently.Eunuch Feng explained the face-to-face rituals with him in detail.Ye Sirui suddenly remembered something again: Zhou Yi would rather offend people than bend his knees. He used to be able to deal with Zhu Quan with a haha, but now what should he do with Mian Sheng?He turned his head suddenly, Zhou Yi was listening intently.

After the explanation, Eunuch Feng didn't delay any longer, and led the two of them to the Nuan Pavilion.

Nuan Pavilion was no different from Ye Sirui's previous visits, only a brazier was lit, and His Majesty the Emperor was still correcting the memorials before the case.Eunuch Feng stepped forward softly and said, "Your Majesty, they have arrived."

"Okay." The emperor simply said such a word, as if he didn't intend to talk to them.Eunuch Feng still retreated slowly.Ye Sirui had no choice but to kneel down and bow down first. "My subject, Ye Sirui, has seen His Majesty."

He didn't dare to imagine how Zhou Yi would react. Fortunately, a voice came from behind him, calm and low, "Cao Min Xia Shu has seen His Majesty."

"Excuse me, get up." Ye Sirui stood up, glanced up secretly, and His Majesty finally put down his pen. "I heard that there is a guard by Aiqing's side. He is extremely heroic and strong in martial arts. He has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements. I really want to see him."

Ye Sirui hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "Return to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has praised you. Xia Shu does have some lightness skills, but he is far behind the masters of the inner circle. It's just superficial skills." He belittled Zhou Yi desperately, and he was not afraid He was not happy to hear it. Whether the emperor was really curious about what he heard, or he knew about Zhou Yi's assassination of the King of Xiang, he hoped to dispel the emperor's interest as much as possible.

The emperor looked Zhou Yi up and down as if he was seeing him for the first time, and shook his head critically: "It is indeed a bit too thin now."

Ye Sirui refuted him fiercely in his heart, but echoed him on the face: "What your majesty said is that your majesty is well-informed, and his three-legged cat kung fu must not be appreciated."

"Let's not talk about this." The emperor said abruptly, but Ye Sirui relaxed a little, and it was fine not to mention Zhou Yi. "I am anxious to find you, because I have something to say to you."

"Please speak, Your Majesty." Ye Sirui secretly thought about what happened next.

"I intend to promote you, but I can't find a reason for the time being." The emperor sat casually on the throne, tapping his fingers on the table, "Zhu Quan is too rigid, I can't use it smoothly, I want to change him, Promote you up."

Ye Sirui's body movements were faster than his brain, and he knelt down as soon as his legs softened, "You must not! Your Majesty, my seniority is still inexperienced. I have been favored by Your Majesty, and I have been promoted many times. I have been questioned. Your Majesty's trustworthy minister is grateful to Dade, but the minister's age No one can compare to Master Zhu in terms of qualifications, qualifications, and virtue, please take it back Your Majesty."

"Age, seniority, virtue?" Every time the emperor uttered a word, he tapped on the table more and more vigorously, and he let out a short and sharp laugh, "Hey, what are these? Yes, knowing how to do things is enough, what do you need these for?”

Ye Sirui couldn't refute, so he gritted his teeth and kowtowed hard, "Your Majesty, please think twice and take it back!"

"I know what those above the court will say." The emperor's voice was deeply bored, "You don't need to say any more, Zhu Quan can't be replaced for the time being, you just get up first."

Ye Sirui kowtowed again to thank him before standing up.

"However, just because Zhu Quan can't be changed now, doesn't mean that he can't be changed in the future." The emperor changed his subject, "If you make a great achievement, or Zhu Quan made a big mistake..." His tone was ambiguous, and Ye Sirui couldn't figure it out. , seeing him pause, had no choice but to ask: "What does your Majesty mean?"

"Nowadays the capital is calm and there is no opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but there are ready-made opportunities in the file." The emperor paused, and took a deep look at Ye Sirui, still unclear about the meaning. "Zhen, I want you to find out how King Xiang died."

The sound was like thunder, and Ye Sirui's already pale face and lips faded away, making him look like a dead person.Zhou Yi's lowered hand trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty..." Ye Sirui hesitated to speak, his voice was still trembling.

"King Xiang died in the palace city, at the hands of an assassin. This matter has always been a mystery. It is rumored that I killed him. Hey, I don't want to get my hands dirty and be accused of murdering my relatives."

Ye Sirui felt that his mind had stopped functioning, but he unexpectedly noticed that the emperor used the word "death" indifferently.

"This matter, I called the Prosecutor's Office to investigate this matter, I called the House of Internal Affairs to investigate it, I called the Office of the Governor of the Five Armies to investigate it, and I called Jin Yiwei to investigate it, but there is no news." The emperor paused, looking away from afar Moving on to Ye Sirui, "If you can find a case that Zhu Quan can't, you can replace him."

"Your Majesty, please take it back." Ye Sirui was surprised that he could still make a calm voice, "As a minister, it is absolutely impossible to investigate this case, and it has been many years..."

"It's only been five years! I remember it clearly!" The emperor suddenly raised his voice, then lowered his voice, "Oh, I forgot, it has been Tianxian for six years. Identity? What identity? Yes, he is my Uncle Huang, that’s all.” He said in a contemptuous tone, “I have already settled his crimes, and everyone in the world knows that he is already a sinner! You are the task of the procurator to investigate the death of a sinner. , what identity is not enough?"

The emperor paused for a moment, then changed his tone to a more gentle tone, "If you solve this case, you will be the procurator of the procuratorate."

It seems that he is determined.Ye Sirui took a deep breath, knelt down for the first time, and buried his head deeply. "The minister accepts the order."

Ye Sirui's calf was still shaking when he walked out of the warm pavilion.

Eunuch Feng still ordered people to take them out of the palace city, and then go back in a carriage.In the carriage, neither of them said a word.

After returning to the restaurant and closing the door, Ye Sirui immediately grabbed Zhou Yi's arm and said in a low voice, "Hurry up!"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "I'm not leaving." He moved a square stool and sat down, "Do you know that if I leave, you won't be able to catch the murderer?"

Ye Sirui stepped forward, hugged Zhou Yi with his trembling hands, pressed him into his arms hard, leaned his head on his shoulder, pressed his slightly hot eye sockets, and rolling tears.Even his voice was stained with crying: "I'm not leaving, and you are not allowed to throw yourself into a trap."
