Song Emperor Jiangshan

Zhao Yuan sighed: "I don't know."

Hearing Zhao Yuan's reply, Xiao Shan couldn't help becoming angry, and said, "I don't know? You say you don't know? You don't believe my words? Did you believe what Wu Hao said and think that I don't know? Is it a spy? Since that is the case, why did you send me to do the work of tracking down spies?"

Zhao Yuan said: "You misunderstood. It's just... don't stand still, come and sit beside me."

Xiao Shan didn't move at all, Zhao Yuan said: "I never doubted you. Commander Wu did say a lot about you in front of me, but I believed you."

Xiao Shan was puzzled, Zhao Yuan said: "I believe you won't lie, and his recent...recent actions are indeed a bit strange..."

Xiao Shan said: "It's not just strange, it's a spy! Your Highness shouldn't let this kind of person around. In my opinion, he should be eliminated immediately. He is responsible for guarding His Highness's safety. Now he is unreliable. If there is any disagreement, His Highness will It's too late to regret!"

Zhao Yuan sighed softly and said, "Have you seen the scar on Wu Hao's face?"

Xiao Shan didn't understand why Zhao Yuan said this suddenly, so he nodded and said, "It seems to be an old wound."

Zhao Yuan said: "I was only seven years old that year and had just entered the palace. Although the officials were very kind to me, but he was busy with state affairs and couldn't take care of me at all. It was Wu Hao who stayed by my side all the year round."

Xiao Shan thought to himself: Wu Hao is putting a long line to catch big fish!

Zhao Yuan said slowly: "One day, I saw the peach blossoms in Houshan were in full bloom, so I asked him to play with me. Unexpectedly, I suddenly met a leopard in the mountain, and it was Wu Hao who stood by my side and took it for me. Yizhuo, the scar on his face was left at that time. I don’t know if you noticed, but his left eye can’t actually see, and it was also damaged at that time.”

Xiao Shan said: "From time to time, people will change. Loyalty is because there are not enough bargaining chips for betrayal."

Zhao Yuan ignored Xiao Shan's words, and said to himself: "The official family is good at water. I was not very popular with the official family at that time. In order to please him, I secretly learned to swim. In the end, I almost drowned accidentally. Hao risked his life to save me, fished me out from the bottom of the lake, and helped me cover it up."

Xiao Shan felt very uncomfortable, and asked: "The reason why His Highness believes him or not is because he once saved His Highness under the water, and did I ever want to murder His Highness under the water?"

Zhao Yuan shook his head slightly: "I didn't mean that. I first entered the palace and left my parents. I was very lonely. It was Wu Hao who accompanied me all the year round and made me happy. Later, my adoptive mother Zhang Wanyi died, and I was very sad, too. He was by my side to comfort and accompany me. Until later when he moved into the palace, he kept guarding and never made a mistake, he was always diligent."

Xiao Shan couldn't speak, Zhao Yuan said: "Did you see that his feet are a little limp?"

Xiao Shan nodded: "There is one thing, you can't see it unless you look carefully. No, he was fine a few days ago."

Zhao Yuan said: "It was half a month ago, he accidentally sprained it when he was leading my horse."

Xiao Shan said: "Wu Hao is very skilled in martial arts, how can he get sprained while holding a horse? It won't be good for half a month, there must be something wrong!"

Zhao Yuan didn't answer, and said after a while: "I've said so much, haven't you understood?"

Xiao Shan said: "I understand, what His Highness means is that I am lying!"

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said: "You're wrong, he saved me once, I don't want to treat my benefactor like this. Whether he is a spy or not, I will not investigate him. I hope you investigate his affairs and stop there. "

When Xiao Shan heard what Zhao Yuan said, his lungs were about to explode. He never expected that he would get such an answer after spending all his energy.

Xiao Shan stared at Zhao Yuan bitterly in the dark night, but couldn't see Zhao Yuan's face, and suddenly remembered the history books he had read.

Emperor Xiaozong was the most talented and broad-minded monarch in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is true that the Southern Song Dynasty under his rule was more than a hundred times better than that under Zhao Gou's management, but it also had a characteristic, that is, this dynasty had the most sycophants.Ning Xing handed down a series of names so numerous that Xiao Shan couldn't remember them clearly.When Xiao Shan saw this, he was still a little puzzled, since this monarch is very talented, why did he come up with so many good luck?

Now that he has encountered this kind of thing himself, he finally understands—Zhao Yuan misses the old relationship too much, some old friends are unwilling to be severely punished when they commit crimes, and they always want to spare the net and show mercy everywhere.

Seeing that Xiao Shan remained silent, Zhao Yuan said, "I've already beaten Wu Hao. He became Qin Hui's spy. He must have hidden secrets. Maybe he was caught for some reason, or his family was blackmailed. I will handle this matter myself. Deal with it! As for the remaining three people, leave one, and find a chance to drive the others out!"

Xiao Shan felt that Zhao Yuan handled things too gently, which made him very dissatisfied.He didn't want to say more at that time, and was about to turn around and leave, lest the more he talked, the more blood he would vomit.Unexpectedly, just as he turned around, he heard Zhao Yuan say: "Put yourself in your shoes and think about it, if you made a mistake because of a single thought, I would disregard the past affection and kill you, how would you feel?"

Xiao Shan said angrily: "I won't do something irreversible on a whim! If I did, Your Highness will execute me Ling Chi, and I deserve my crime for three days of violent corpses. I won't have the slightest complaint in my heart! I always thought that His Highness would kill me. Decisive, you can clearly distinguish between yourself and the enemy. I never expected that His Highness would be so benevolent in dealing with things, which is extremely disappointing!"

He said while walking out, Zhao Yuan got up to pull him, but he didn't, and was about to walk out of the dormitory, Zhao Yuan dodged, stopped in front of Xiao Shan, and said: "If it's you, what do you want to do?" ?”

Xiao Shan said: "Wu Hao is unreliable, and he must never stay with His Highness again! If His Highness remembers the old love, he can be expelled from the mansion and left to fend for himself. As for the remaining three spies, those who don't need it Find an excuse to kill, and the one who is left behind to spread the message must be on guard at all times! These people are enemies, and kindness to the enemy is cruelty to our own people!"

Zhao Yuan was silent, and after a while said: "I don't really want to kill people."

Xiao Shan interrupted Zhao Yuan, and said solemnly: "Don't use thunderbolt methods, and don't show the heart of a bodhisattva. Why are everyone afraid of Qin Hui and dare not play tricks in front of him? It is because he will never show mercy to those who betray him, so that he can deter people. , so that people have scruples in doing things! If His Highness is so benevolent, if he indulges the wicked without severe punishment, more people will follow suit in the future, and it will be difficult to stop!"

Zhao Yuan said: "Qin used torture, and the second generation died."

Xiao Shan said: "That's because the laws have not been fully enacted, and it's not because they don't punish wicked people severely! In short, I absolutely don't agree with such indulgence. If Your Highness insists on doing this, don't ask me to do this kind of thing in the future."

Zhao Yuan sighed, and wanted to pull Xiao Shan, but Xiao Shan waved his hand, Zhao Yuan was in vain.

Zhao Yuan said: "You are wearing thin clothes, standing here is easy to catch cold, come here!"

Xiao Shan didn't move, Zhao Yuan said: "I will deal with Wu Hao's matter, and the remaining three spies will do as you say."

Xiao Shan said: "How does Your Highness plan to deal with Commander Wu's matter?"

Zhao Yuan didn't want to answer, but Xiao Shan pressed the question tightly, so he could only say: "He saved me twice, I will give him two chances, if he is still stubborn, let's deal with it."

Xiao Shan was anxious and angry, stomping his feet and said: "Two more chances? Only one chance, His Highness will die without a place to bury you! If you don't have the heart to do it, I'll take care of it for you."

Zhao Yuan said sternly: "Don't be reckless, do you have extremely strong evidence that he is Qin Hui's spy? Just relying on hearsay and speculation to attack a meritorious person will inevitably make people feel chilling."

Xiao Shan hated his teeth so much in his heart, seeing Wu Hao wantonly framed him, he was sure that this guy wanted to get rid of him, how could he be loyal to Zhao Yuan with such wanton framed innocents?If I don't do anything now, sooner or later, I will be killed by Wu Hao one day!

But now he doesn't have any evidence to prove that Wu Hao is framing him, and he knows that it's useless to say more, and now he can't produce any favorable evidence to prove that Wu Hao is a spy, and Zhao Yuan refuses to drive Wu Hao away, so he can only endure Let's wait until we have solid evidence.

Xiao Shan wasn't too worried about his own safety, after all he would take precautions.But Zhao Yuan seemed to be nostalgic for Wu Hao, probably before he found conclusive evidence, Zhao Yuan had already been murdered!He felt that Zhao Yuan was too soft-hearted and too affectionate, sooner or later he would suffer a big loss.

Zhao Yuan saw that Xiao Shan remained silent, so he went to the fire in the room to warm his hands, and said: "I know what you're thinking, you must blame me for being soft on the enemy, but Wu Hao is not an enemy, he is my benefactor."

Xiao Shan hated that iron could not be made into steel. He felt that Wu Hao should be arrested and tortured immediately at this time, and let him tell the whole story to pre-empt strikes, but obviously it was absolutely impossible.

Zhao Yuan asked after a while, "Are you cold?"

Xiao Shan didn't want to answer this question, he just said: "I don't worry about His Highness being accompanied by such a person. Now that the spies in the mansion have figured it out, I don't have to do it anymore."

Zhao Yuan was taken aback, and he didn't speak for a while, Xiao Shan couldn't see Zhao Yuan's expression, but he trembled a little when he heard Zhao Yuan's voice: "You...are you going to leave the palace?"

Xiao Shan said: "Leave? Why should I leave? The one who should get out is Wu Hao, right? I beg His Highness to let me be your bodyguard to protect your personal safety!"

Hearing what Xiao Shan said, Zhao Yuan finally put his heart in his stomach.After a while, he shook his head again: "It's not appropriate, since you and Wu Hao are not on good terms, it's better not to work together."

Xiao Shan took two steps closer, walked up to Zhao Yuan, and gritted his teeth: "You take care of your benefactor, you don't want to punish severely, and you don't care about your own safety, why don't you allow me to take strict precautions? I don't want you to be so Die long ago!"

Zhao Yuan remained silent, and after a while he said: "You really want to do this?"

Xiao Shan said: "If you don't want to, forget it, I don't want to see your head in a different place, so I will leave the palace and never come back!"

Zhao Yuan pondered for a while, then nodded, and said: "Okay, you have to be careful, although he won't harm me, but it's hard for you to say. You are both the center and me, but you insist on getting into trouble."

Xiao Shan vomited blood in his heart, wishing he could tear Zhao Yuan to pieces.But after thinking about it, he immediately calmed down: I have nothing to do with Wu Hao, as long as I see something wrong with him, I will kill him directly.At that time, even if Zhao Yuan is depressed, it will be difficult to bring the dead back to life. At most, he will be fine for two days after being sad. Save yourself a time bomb and keep it by your side, making people worry day and night.

Just when Xiao Shan was about to vomit blood from Zhao Yuan's anger, there was a person just like him who was so angry that he passed out.

Qin Hui was so angry that Qin Hui almost went into shock.

Qin Yu caught the list of spies in the royal residence written by Lin Yifei himself, and was in a hurry to come back to complain to Qin Hui. He first sent the list to Qin Hui, then scolded Lin Yifei loudly, and finally said: "Father, this Lin Yifei is too good to be true." He has no backbone, I just tortured him a little, and he said everything, unreliable, can't entrust important matters! Fortunately, I met me today, if someone forced him to question him, wouldn't it ruin your important matter?"

Qin Hui saw the names of the four people on the white paper in front of him, and heard Qin Hui mumbling aside, he felt his eyes darkened and his feet staggered, Qin Hui hurried forward to support him, Qin Hui was so angry that his hands trembled , speechless.

Qin Hui hurried forward to support him, slapped his back and pinched him, Qin Hui woke up, and he yelled: "You son of a bitch, can you be smarter? If your father falls down, you think it's up to you , what can be done?"

Qin Xi thought that he had done a great service, but he didn't expect that instead of praising Qin Hui, he scolded himself, feeling aggrieved, and said, "Father, did I do something wrong again?"

Qin Hui took a sip of tea, and finally calmed down, and said, "You...you let me tell you what you want? You actually do this kind of thing in a crowded place like Washe! You..."

Qin Xi hurriedly explained: "I know it's important to keep it secret, so the room next door has been booked up so that no one can eavesdrop on it!"

Qin Hui didn't explain it was fine, but when he explained Qin Hui just wanted to whip him with the shoe board: "The partition wall has ears, maybe someone has already been inquiring about this matter! There is no one in the next room, will there be someone on the roof? Will there be someone outside the window?" Spy? Don’t Lin Yifei complain when he returns? You can just ask, but you’re stupid enough to write it down. Are you afraid that the Prince of Pu’an won’t be able to kill all the rapes?”

Qin Yu hurriedly said: "That kid Lin Yifei is a bit clever, he didn't say anything, he just wrote these words, even if the walls have ears, they won't be heard!"

Qin Hui finally had some comfort in his heart, thinking that his son is still clever, and this idiot in front of him had better go as far as he can!

Thinking of his own son Lin Yifei, Qin Hui felt a pain in his heart again. Needless to say, Lin Yifei must have been tortured by Qin Xie for some reason today. When he found out, he vented his anger on Lin Yifei again. In the end, it was his own son who suffered the loss, so he had to swallow his breath and asked, "Have you shown this to others?"

Qin Xi shook his head: "As soon as I wrote it, I received it. Except for the two guards who went out with me, no one else has seen it."

Qin Hui felt relieved a little, and carefully read the words on it, seeing that Lin Yifei's handwriting was better than Qin Yu's, and thought to himself: In the future, we should support our relatives more, and don't let him be bullied again.That kid is also mature and steady, and he didn't come to complain to me when he was bullied, which really wronged him.

Seeing Qin Hui staring at Lin Yifei's words, and seeing Qin Hui's complexion, Qin Hui wanted to say a few words to make Qin Hui happy, and said, "Father, you are really capable. You pulled me over. I heard that he once sacrificed his life to save the life of King Pu'an, how could he serve us?"

Qin Hui put the white paper on the lamp and burned it, the flames rose violently, illuminating Qin Hui's face.There was an imperceptible smile on Qin Hui's white face: "Everyone has weaknesses. As long as you catch them, he will obey orders obediently. What is a mere Wu Hao? Wang Gui, Yue Fei's deputy, and Yue Fei grew up together. Growing up is a fateful friendship, isn't it for me to use in the end? Zhao Yuan is more affectionate than Yue Fei, and he is definitely not willing to kill Wu Hao, this spy will be of great use in the future!"
