Queen's Detective

"I have to believe it."

In the side hall, Zheng Yong looked at Yan Sanbai, and answered his questions generously.Yan Sanbai just asked him why he came to Chang'an at this time to beat the grievance drum, and why he knew something else about Hongheling.

Zheng Yong hesitated for a moment, but Yan Sanbai's eyes were too sincere, and he gradually dispelled his doubts, "I was only vaguely skeptical at first, but the matter of Hongheling has long been settled, so I didn't think much about it. It wasn't until a month ago that someone found me and told me the truth of the matter, that I woke up."

"How do you know that what that person said is the truth?"

"I have to believe it." Zheng Yong pondered.

"Why?"

"The people who participated in that incident were basically dead, but the person who came to me had a black lotus tattoo on his body. I verified carefully that the tattoo was not fake and his age was right. He must be Those of the hidden guards, no one knows what happened that year better than the dark guards!"

"Dark guard?" Yan Sanbai's heart trembled, "Where is he now?"

Zheng Yong shook his head, "I don't know, he left soon, and I haven't seen him all the way to Chang'an."

Yan Sanbai became serious, "Can you see his face clearly?"

"No, he's wearing the mask of a hidden guard. Oh, by the way, that mask is also very old, it should have been left over from before."

Dark guards never show their true colors to others. Wearing a mask is a must, either a real mask or a human skin mask.For example, Luo Sha, almost no one knows what he looks like, and he is the only one who does not have the black lotus mark representing the dark guard.

Hearing this, Yan Sanbai was silent, and the slightly frowned brow made people understand the importance of this matter.The hidden guards hold too many secrets that are not good for the court. It is reasonable to say that they should have been cleaned up after the death of King Li. Now that one Amu survived, another one appeared now, maybe there is a second one, The third one, could it be...

As he thought so, Guan Qingci, who had been silent at the side, suddenly said, "Did you hear him mention Rakshasa?"

Zheng Yong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "He just told me that if you want to completely overturn the case, you should come to Yan Xiatan. I knew Yan Xiatan was in the palace, so I just didn't do anything, and rang the call to appeal for grievances." drum."

Too many disappointments made Guan Qingci no longer have too much hope, so Zheng Yong didn't feel anything when he said he didn't know.It's just that Yan Sanbai is faintly worried in his heart, and the other party's words, the meaning of coming for Yan Sanbai is really obvious.

But before he could ask, Yan Sanbai waved his hand, indicating that it's okay.Then the two moved to the prison cell, and Xie was interrogated again.However, Mrs. Xie was not as cooperative as Zheng Yong, no matter what Yan Sanbai asked, she refused to tell where she got the news from.It seems that if the Hongheling case is not overturned for a day, she plans to keep her mouth shut for a day.

With the news from Zheng Yong, Yan Sanbai was not in a hurry to get anything out of Xie's mouth at this moment, so he simply left her alone, and then asked Guan Qingci to separate the cells of Su Ran and Qiu Chan, and met alone Su dye.

"You finally think of me." Su Ran looked at him resentfully, "If you lock me up with that woman again, my innocence will be lost."

"Didn't we separate you now?" Yan Sanbai smiled, and sat down in front of the cell door without any hesitation, facing Su Ran across the fence, "I have something I want to ask Langhuan Pavilion today, can Mr. Su explain it to me?" Doubts in my heart?"

Only then did Su Ran have a serious look, "What do you want to ask?"

"Dark guards. I want to know how many dark guards are still alive today?"

Su Ran sat cross-legged, propping her chin, "Langhuan Pavilion is well-informed, but not everything is for sale, what will Yan Xiatan get in exchange?"

"What do you want to know? If I know, I will definitely want to sue."

"Well...let me think about it." Su Ran thought about it, and after a while, her eyes lit up, "I ask you, what is the relationship between you and Luoyang Wang Li Yan?"

Yan Sanbai's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to cough, "Why do you ask like that?"

"Come on." Su Ran smiled and shrugged, but her eyes were full of amusement.

Yan Sanbai was also puzzled, looking at Su Ran's eyes, he should know something.But he hadn't been with Li Yan for long, and he thought he didn't make a big deal of it, why...

No, there is a Guan Qingci next to it.

Yan Sanbai turned his head to look, and Guan Qingci also turned around just in time, and his eyes collided. Guan Qingci's eyes were full of inquiry and curiosity, but they were still frank and open, probably not thinking in the wrong direction at all.

"Can't you answer?" Su Ran smiled badly, if he had Sanxian in his hand, he would probably play a song at this time.

Yan Sanbai's ears were reddish, and he shook his head with a smile on his lips.Su Ran didn't know whether he said he could answer or not, and was about to tease a few more words, but Yan Sanbai suddenly looked at him solemnly, and those eyes looked straight at him without blinking, making Su Ran swallow After the words came out of my mouth, there was only one word in my mind to describe my impressions at the moment - light wind and bright moon.

"My relationship with him is the kind of relationship you think of." Yan Sanbai said slowly.

"Which?"

Yan Sanbai paused, and said: "Yes... people in the world say that I love Chang'an, but actually I only love Chang'an."

The soft brows and eyes of the young man are still as bright as the bright moon in the dark dungeon, chanting a poem and expressing a feeling makes people feel extraordinarily beautiful.If Li Yan was here, I don't know how much trouble would be caused in my heart.

Su Ran also seemed to be deeply touched, and the smile on his face became friendly, "This answer is very good. My pavilion master likes you who are honest and upright. The deal is concluded, and I can answer your questions. The dark guard According to the information we got, five people survived on the list, two of them have gone to sea, their lives and deaths are unknown, but they should never appear again, and one died of a vendetta.”

"That means there are two left?"

"Yes. One is Jia Fei and the other is Cheng Yi."

"So, thank you." Yan Sanbai stood up, reached out to brush the dust off his clothes, and turned to leave.

Su Ran sighed, "Are you going to let me out?"

Yan Sanbai smiled slightly, "These are two different things."

Arriving outside the cell, Yan Sanbai paused, turned to look at Guan Qingci, who had been in a daze since just now, and said softly, "Are you scared?"

"No." Guan Qingci replied quickly, and then paused after saying the words, "You and him, really..."

"It's true." Yan Sanbai looked at Guan Qingci. He could have made Guan Qingci avoid him just now, but after thinking about it, he still said it in front of him.He believed that Guan Qingci's character was absolutely trustworthy.

He said again: "This is my secret, Mr. Guan will help me keep it, we... are friends, right?"

Guan Qing was stunned for a moment, the sudden depression in his heart was suddenly dispelled by Yan Sanbai's words, he nodded, "Of course."

At the same time, in a certain corner of the cell, Qiu Chan sat bored on the straw mat, stretched out his hand, and crushed an ant that was crawling on the ground to death - no one came to look for him, so he was sitting in a fart prison.

However, Qiu Chan waited and waited, but finally did not wait for Yan Sanbai to come to her.

But in the next few days, the undercurrent broke through the sea surface, and the real waves had already set off.

"Your Majesty! The entire city of Chang'an is full of discussions. We can't let it go any longer, or we will lose our hearts, Your Majesty!" Above the court hall, Minister of Rites bowed his head deeply, his voice full of pain.

Li Yushi went out and also bowed his hands in salute, "Your Majesty, what Cai Shangshu said is very true. Our Great Zhou ruled the world with benevolence and virtue. Although the Honghe Ridge incident happened before the Great Zhou, it is also inseparable from the Great Zhou. We must get it Give Wanmin an explanation, otherwise how can I be worthy of the innocent people who died in Hongheling, how can I be worthy of the people of Da Zhou, and how can I be worthy of the late King Li."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Dingyuan General He Zhenglong's angry eyes slightly opened, "You are so aggressive, are you worthy of His Royal Highness Li Wang? Don't forget, if His Royal Highness Li Wang did not take down Honghe Ridge, how would our army win the victory and go straight to Chang'an ?!"

Li Yushi looked solemn, "When did we forget? I think you forgot. His Royal Highness Li won the victory in Honghe Ridge for the sake of the people of the world. His death on the battlefield is the best explanation. Now we are pursuing Honghe The matter of Ridge is for the sake of the people of the world, people cannot be established without trust, if the court loses the hearts of the people, how can we survive the Great Zhou Dynasty? Is this what His Royal Highness Li Wang wants to see?!"

He Zhenglong was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. The people in Yushitai are so talkative, they only make a living by fighting. Smoke rose from the ancestral grave.He searched for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable sentence to refute, he couldn't say 'You fart, how can His Highness Li Wang be so kind'?

Li Yushi succeeded in the first battle, and he will continue to work hard, but if the civil servants can withstand the coercion of a general like Su Shihui, they will already be on the verge of victory.

Because those who were present, very few people who knew the truth knew - King Li didn't care about this matter at all.

Didn't you see that Li Yan didn't say a word from the beginning to the end?

But looking at those ancient well-free eyes, relaxed posture as if he was not in the same world as everyone else, still no one felt that he could underestimate this idle prince at this moment.I'm afraid that if he moves his eyebrows, he will turn his face.

The quarrel in the courtroom intensified, but the emperor didn't seem to want to stop it. The officials couldn't guess what he was thinking, so they kept arguing, and stopped when things turned wrong.After all, although this emperor is famous for his benevolence, he has been able to sit on the throne for more than ten years, so it is really as simple as it looks on the outside.

After a while, seeing that the situation was difficult to deal with, the emperor raised his eyes, and the eunuch beside him immediately understood, stood up, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Quiet——"

The emperor rubbed the center of his brows, he got a headache.So the ministers were all quiet, and they all shut up very fast. Only a rough old man like He Zhenglong was a step slower, and his deep voice echoed in the whole hall.

"Fart - fart - ah -" the old face was lost.

So He Zhenglong silently scolded everyone present in the bottom of his heart.

Li Yan held back a smile and stood up a little bit.

At this time, Su Shihui, the leader of the generals, finally ended his long-term rest, stood up, and said: "Your Majesty, success and defeat, merits and demerits, are always written by future generations. But today everyone knows that His Royal Highness Li Wang Zhou bowed himself to death, and now such things happen before his bones are cold, how to teach people how to feel at ease. Besides, there is still no conclusion about the Hongheling matter, I think, it is better to find out the truth first than to spend too much time talking."

When the veteran came out, the civil servants immediately restrained a lot.It's just that Fan Zhengchun was miserable, and was taken out again.

Fan Zhengchun wiped off his sweat, "Your Majesty, General Su, the Honghe Ridge incident has been going on for too long, my lord... Your lord has not made any progress yet."

Alright, let's keep arguing tomorrow.
