When Ji Heng left the palace, the emperor sent him to the gate of the palace and watched him get on the palace sedan chair, just like a friend who sent someone off on a long journey reluctantly.

Ji Heng thought, he is just going home, and he will come back tomorrow.

He got into the palace sedan chair, opened the curtain by himself, and said to the emperor who was still looking at him, "Your majesty, I'm leaving first, you go back."

The emperor smiled at him and said, "I see that you will go back when you leave."

There was attachment and reluctance in his eyes, so obvious, it made Ji Heng's heart soften.

Ji Heng went out of the palace gate in a palace sedan chair, thinking about the emperor's affairs in his mind.

Once the power is taken up, very few people can let it go.

Although the emperor said in front of Ji Heng that there would never be a gap between him and him, and Ji Heng also believed in the sincerity of the emperor at this time, but people will change, and he does not believe in the future emperor.

He looked out from the curtain of the palace sedan chair, and a series of tall and majestic palaces stretched into the distance, which was Dayong's center of power.

He thought, when the emperor is in charge, it is time for him to leave. Regardless of whether he will become an official or not in the future, he will at least go back to the south of the Yangtze River to dormant for a while, read some books, and live a leisurely life. Xu was disappointed, but since she loved him so much, she would understand him.

Thinking of Xu Shi, Ji Heng's heart softened even more. In this world, there is no one who cares more about him and loves him more than her.

And Xu Qilang, Ji Heng sighed in his heart, Xu Qilang is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he has already entered puberty, and many times people can't discipline him.

In the past few days, when Ji Heng came back from the palace every day, he would first go to the study room where Mr. Zhang was in the front yard, and discuss with him about Yang Qinyuan.

Mr. Zhang said, "It has been confirmed that the Second Highness lives in Guishu Alley, but I haven't seen him come out in person."

When Mr. Zhang said this, he said it to a portrait of a character on the desk.

Mr. Zhang has never met Yang Qinyuan, it was Ji Heng who drew Yang Qinyuan's portrait for him.

In this era, it is difficult to find a person, because there is no TV image, or even photography technology. Fortunately, Ji Heng is good at sketching, so he simply drew a few portraits of Yang Qinyuan.

Then Mr. Zhang asked the artist to draw a few more, and used this as evidence to find Yang Qinyuan.

However, if Yang Qinyuan changed his appearance and reappeared, it would be difficult to recognize him again.

So in the end, Mr. Zhang had no choice but to agree with Ji Heng's method, and used fire to force the resourceful Second Highness out.

At the beginning of June, the kitchen of a brothel in Guishu Alley caught fire. Because it could not be extinguished in time, the fire spread under the action of the wind and almost burned half of the street. Fortunately, there are two rivers around Guishu Alley, and another The wells on the street prevented the fire from spreading to other places.

People already have a set of methods to deal with the fire, but this time the casualties were heavy.

More than [-] people were killed in the fire. Surprisingly, these [-] people were almost all strong men, and some people who went to see the corpses at that time said that they saw knives on the charred corpses. the wound.

However, these corpses were quickly taken away by the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, and folk rumors that there was a vendetta in this incident were prohibited, and the incident was only described as an accident.

Killing Yang Qinyuan was a big deal, so Ji Heng didn't want to take the credit for such a big achievement, so he asked the emperor for instructions and asked the Lin family for help.

However, the emperor felt that the more people who knew about the matter, the greater the possibility of leaking the news. In the end, he did not agree and only let Ji Heng handle it with full authority.

On the night of the fire, Ji Heng and Mr. Zhang made detailed arrangements for killing Yang Qinyuan.

A total of [-] professional killers with high martial arts skills were sent to do this job. All of these people were murdered before, and now they are loyal to Lord Ji.

With his position in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Mr. Ji has indeed done a lot of things secretly, and has recruited many desperadoes who are desperate for their livelihood to work for him.

Ji Heng is on the fourth floor of a restaurant on the east side of Guishu Alley across Xiaogui Canal. The fourth floor is not for business, but the owner's office.

He was holding a binoculars in his hand. Even at night, Guishu Alley, as the bustling fireworks alley in the capital, was still brightly lit and very bright. From the binoculars, the scene there could be clearly seen.

Mr. Zhang personally sits at the south end of Guishu Alley, and makes the final explanation to the killers who are working.

Ji Heng was operating above the restaurant, using lights of different colors and different numbers as signals to direct actions on the fourth floor of the restaurant.

The fire at that time, although afterwards it was said that it started in the kitchen of one family, but at that time, it was actually four fires at the same time, so it was not extinguished in time.

The fire spread, and Yang Qinyuan had no choice but to come out of the house. As soon as he came out, he met the black-clothed killer head-on and confronted him on the spot.

The killer on Ji Heng's side was prepared to deal with Yang Qinyuan's unpreparedness, and he was indeed skilled. The battle only lasted for a cup of tea. Under the protection of his guards, Yang Qinyuan wanted to escape into the river, but Ji Heng's side had already It blocked his possible escape route, so he died by being shot in the heart by an arrow by the river, and his body was sent to the boat in the river to be transported away on the spot.

The corpses in the fire in Guishu Alley were the corpses of Yang Qinyuan's subordinates.

The battle was fought beautifully. After the accident, the forces of all parties reacted almost quickly.

Those ministers who were bribed by King Wu and rebelled by King Wu are probably trembling.

This incident was soon reported to the Queen Mother, and it was Ding Guohou who came into the palace and told her, "My Lady, I got the news that this fire was specially made to eradicate King Wu's influence in the capital." Yes, it is said that Yang Qinyuan did not go back to Hangzhou at that time, he was in Beijing all the time, this time he was trying to kill him. Apart from the emperor, I can’t think of anyone who did this.”

The Empress Dowager's expression was very bad. She originally thought the emperor was a soft little sheep, but now she realized that he was a ruthless wolf.

But it is also easy to understand that the little emperor has lived in fear since he was a child, and now as long as he has power, it is perfectly normal to use the method of biting the enemy's neck to stop being afraid.

What's abnormal is that when the little emperor had these powers, he was able to remain calm and act as if nothing had happened.

The queen mother not only looked at the emperor with admiration, but even became deeply jealous.

He is even worse than his father.

The Queen Mother said, "How many people died in the fire?"

Ding Guohou said, "There were 27 corpses left in the fire. One woman was really burned to death, and the other 26 were all killed and thrown into the fire. Jing Zhaoyin Cao Bi, now It was only the emperor's order that he didn't obey. I went to check the corpse myself, and he agreed. There was no Yang Qinyuan in it. However, the power in Guishu Alley really belonged to him. Among the dead, one of them was by his side before. , I have seen it. It seems to be Wu Enquan. The dead body was shot in the neck by an arrow and had a knife wound. It seems that the emperor's dispatch this time was generous and handled very meticulously. It's just that Yang Qinyuan's body was not seen. Maybe he Not dead yet, escaped."

The queen mother said, "Whether he escapes or not is not important now. If the emperor did this thing, then who made the knife in his hand. The Xu family?"

Ding Guohou said, "The eldest son of the Ji family has been in contact with the emperor recently. However, that child is only 11 years old. What can he do? Moreover, I have not seen him have any contact with the Xu family. Duke Pingguo Recently, he suffered from physical illness again, and he is recuperating on Tangquan Mountain. In Pingguo Mansion, all the men are in the army, and there are only female relatives left at home, so what can they do. Even Ji's family, Ji Daogong is now in the south of the Yangtze River, not in the capital."

The queen mother pondered, "Then who did this, the Lin family?"

Ding Guohou said, "Looking at it as a wind, it's more like a power in the rivers and lakes. Madam, I have to check again to know the details."

The queen mother felt a bit of a headache, pressed her fingers on her forehead, frowned and said, "King Wu may not be able to sit still anymore. It is said that he has no scruples in his actions recently, and I am afraid that something will happen soon."

Dingguohou said, "Ever since the first emperor ascended to immortality, he has been ready to move. If it hadn't been for your empress, you have stabilized him for a few years, I am afraid he would have moved a few years ago. Now that he wants to move, we have already prepared. He is afraid It's not easy to move."

The queen mother had a worse headache and said, "Speaking of this matter, now the little emperor thought that the Ai family really wanted to replace him with King Wu. It was just these few years that the Ai family managed to stabilize King Wu, but raised a A wild wolf like the little emperor is here. If the little emperor succeeds in taking charge, our Zhao family, hey, brother, I’m afraid life will not be easy in the future. Little emperor, his heart is too cruel."

Ding Guohou fell silent, and said, "The emperor's master is unknown, what can we do to our Zhao family? If the Zhao family is a hero in the matter of King Wu this time, what can the emperor do to us? Besides, the king of Shu has already agreed."

Both of them fell into silence, when the voice of the female officer Yuxiang came from outside, "Your Majesty, Fourth Highness, please see me."

The Queen Mother raised her head, looked at Ding Guohou, and said softly, "Could it be that he knows about Guishu Alley? If he knows, there is someone next to Ai's family..."

The queen mother has always suspected that there is a mole around her, and if Yang Qinji knows something that he shouldn't know, it will illustrate this point even more.

Before the queen mother finished speaking, Dingguo Hou gave her a farewell ceremony and wanted to leave, but the queen mother waved his hand to him to keep him still, got up by herself, walked out for a while, and sat down on the couch outside. Say, "Let him in."

Yang Qinji knelt down in front of the queen mother, and after saluting, he said, "My nephew wants to visit my sister again, and I want to ask the queen mother for permission."

Yang Qinji lowered his head, and the Queen Mother couldn't see his face, so he didn't know if he knew about Guishu Alley, and said, "Didn't you get the emperor's permission a few times ago, how did you get it this time?" Is Ai's family here?"

Yang Qinji said, "Before, I wanted to disturb the Queen Mother's rest because of such a trivial matter, but my nephew was really unfilial, so I went to ask the emperor for permission. However, the emperor has been in poor health for the past few days and has been recuperating. It's up, but sometimes Ji Heng is called to accompany the driver, but it is not easy for me to see him, so I have to come to ask the Queen Mother for your permission."

The author has something to say: the emperor will not change his mind, this article is generally very sweet and sweet.

And for Ji Heng to understand a person's mind, unless the other party clearly let him know that he loves him, but even so, Ji Heng would think that this is just a child's attachment.To change this situation, hard work must be done.
