Even though Mr. Mingzhi took his anger out on him because of Zhuang Qingyue, the calm expression on Jiang Yusheng's face did not fluctuate in the slightest.The corners of his eyes were still curved upwards, with his usual indifference.

Xu Lin followed Mr.'s gaze and looked over, with an imperceptible scrutiny hidden in his eyes: "What do Master Jiang think?"

Jiang Yusheng smiled very lightly, and his pale lips seemed to turn a little bloody because of this smile: "Don't worry, Commander, Jiang will definitely do his best to fulfill his mission."

He looked directly at Xu Lin, and he didn't avoid the scrutiny he cast, and let him scrutinize him.

After a while, Xu Lin clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Wow, I feel much more at ease with Mr. Jiang's guarantee. Come on, let's serve wine!"

He looked at the people in the tent, and said hypocritically: "Let's drink a full bowl with Mr. Jiang, and do a good job for Mr. Jiang!"

It sounded as if he was sure that Jiang Yusheng would never come back, and wanted to reward him with a bowl of dead wine.

The insiders in the tent responded one after another, and someone immediately went out to spread the word.Soon, several jars of northwestern liquor, a specialty of Yanhui Town, were brought in.

Xu Lin patted Kaifeng Ni and poured out the first bowl of wine, looking at Jiang Yusheng.Upon seeing the situation, Mr. took the initiative to hand it over, and handed it to Jiang Yusheng himself: "Master Jiang, please."

Although he couldn't see Mr.'s movements clearly with his eyesight, Jiang Yusheng could fully imagine what Mr. did to the bowl of wine.

It's not the first time, but every time, the two have been tacit about it.

——Drinking it is the best response to the temptation, and it can best dispel the worries of Mr. and others.

Jiang Yusheng looked at the clear and translucent wine in front of him, and drank it without hesitation.

Northwest wine is very strong, and he once tasted it in the Jingbei Army barracks.But this time, he choked and coughed because he drank too fast.

His distressed appearance caused the generals of the Suxi Army in the tent to burst into laughter.

After all, civil servants and military commanders look at each other lightly, and they are naturally happy to see the jokes of scholars.

Although his face was flushed from coughing, Jiang Yusheng's hands were still steady.He put down the bowl, said in a good-tempered manner, "I made everyone laugh," and cupped his hands inquiringly towards Xu Lin, asking when he was going to leave.

Xu Lin winked, and someone immediately stepped forward to guide Jiang Yusheng to prepare for departure.

The moment he stepped out of the handsome tent, Jiang Yu breathed out calmly.

The husband's medicine was obtained from southern Xinjiang, and the medicine was very powerful. At this moment, his chest and abdomen were already shaking, and the cold sweat from his forehead was quickly blown through by the wet and cold wind in the morning.

Gritting his teeth in the cold from the morning wind, he quickly pulled the hood over to cover himself tightly.

Jiang Yusheng glanced back at the handsome tent, rubbed his fingers on the forearm of his left hand unconsciously, and then lowered his eyes calmly.

——If the pocket machine crossbow given to him by his own junior brother was still there, Mr. Shit and the traitor Xu Lin would have been poked into a sieve by him long ago.

Just when Jiang Yusheng diverted his attention from the pain by pricking Mr. and Xu Lin in his heart, a pair of hands stretched out to support him who was already crumbling but held on.

He looked up and saw a man wearing the same black robe and hood as himself, except that the man covered the lower half of his face with a black kerchief, only showing a pair of eyes.

It was clearly a young man's figure, but those eyes had a calmness that did not belong to his age.

"Ah, it's you." Jiang Yusheng twitched the corners of his mouth and gave a slightly forced smile, "Why, sir asked you to watch me?"

After a moment of silence, the masked boy nodded slightly.

This person always followed behind the husband without saying a word and acted as a guard, but he was clearly classified as the master's minion by Jiang Yusheng, but he always stayed silently by the side when he was angry, saying it was surveillance , but more like a silent protection.

Jiang Yusheng twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Okay." He took a deep breath and glanced at the two horses behind him, "I don't have the strength to go up, please help me."

He originally intended to let the young man help him mount the horse, but he didn't expect that the young man just patted the horse's neck, and the bay red horse lowered itself in front of him like a human being—a height that would allow him to mount the horse easily .

It's much better than being carried on a rack, at least you won't be strangled to your chest and abdomen clogged with toxins.

Jiang Yusheng crouched down on the horse, trembling through the bone-piercing pain.

Seeing that he was back to normal, the young man gave a whistle, and then took him out of the Suxi army's camp with his horse in his belly.

An hour later, the two had left the Suxi military camp far behind.The young man looked around, and suddenly he stopped his horse, and turned his head to look at Jiang Yusheng who was lazily shaken to the side on the horse's back.

Meeting the sight of the young man, Jiang Yusheng asked him with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you going to kill me here?"

The young man was choked up by his question.He found that as long as he had been poisoned, this person would put on his mask again, no matter who he was smiling at, it was a fake smile, but it couldn't make people feel disgusted.

He touched in his bosom, took out a small white porcelain bottle and threw it to Jiang Yusheng with the gesture of pulling out a dagger.

Jiang Yu caught the porcelain bottle reflexively, raising his eyebrows silently.Hearing the young man's voice immediately said coldly: "There are so many eyes and ears in the camp, I couldn't find the opportunity, and now no one is following, so hurry up and accept it."

Jiang Yusheng opened the porcelain bottle: "Isn't it poison?"

The boy raised his whip and set off again, his annoyed voice finally showed some freshness suitable for his age, but it was quickly blown away by the wind.

"believe it or not."

Jiang Yusheng happily poured out a pill and took it. When the bitter taste spread on the tip of his tongue, he involuntarily tightened his eyebrows, his face twisted: "Isn't it really another kind of poison?"

The goshawk was circling in the sky, and no one answered his words except for a chirp.

Above the court hall, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

"This...General Xu..." The Minister of the Ministry of War glanced at the Taifu quietly, but did not get any new instructions, so he bit the bullet and said tremblingly, "What does the Regent think, how should this matter be handled?"

Xu Lin came under the banner of "Qing Jun's side", and the rebels who were about to be wiped out were sitting high on the side of the throne at this moment, with their eyes downcast, not knowing what they were thinking.

Hearing the question from Minister of the Ministry of War, Xiao Lingfeng hummed indiscriminately, and after a while, he threw the question back to everyone.

"My lords, do you have any countermeasures?" He glanced at the people standing in the hall, with a heavy sense of oppression in his eyes, which made half of the ministers afraid to vent their anger.

How dare they speak?

It was only yesterday that the regent had put the emperor under house arrest and seized power as the regent, and this morning he received the news that Xu Lin sent troops.

The successive shocks made many people's footsteps standing on the hall seem vain.

What's more, even the assistant ministers appointed by the late emperor didn't speak, even if they had their own calculations in their hearts, how could they dare to speak rashly?If you stand on the wrong team, it will be a matter of losing your head.

Seeing that no one spoke, Xiao Lingfeng curled the corners of his lips, and the sharpness in his eyes flashed, "What do you think?"

Taifu is of course not the original Taifu.Hidden under the mask, Yingsan is carrying out his mission conscientiously.He smiled, no matter how he looked at it, he was a kind-hearted old man.

"Xu Lin dispatched troops to Beijing without edict, which is regarded as treason. The regent should have made a decision in his heart, right?"

As soon as these words came out, several officials of the Taifu's department frowned.The Minister of the Ministry of War glanced at the Taifu, and couldn't hold back and said, "Is there...a misunderstanding?"

How could Taifu say such a thing?

This is nothing like what was negotiated beforehand.

Xiao Lingfeng glanced at him, and asked with interest: "Oh? What misunderstanding?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Minister of War began to regret his impulsiveness.At this moment, he was firmly locked by Xiao Lingfeng's gaze, and that gaze that seemed to see through everything saw him involuntarily panicking.

"Just... General Xu may be... maybe he heard some rumors..."

The cold sweat dripped down on his forehead, and the Minister of the Ministry of War gritted his teeth, "Maybe General Xu is also concerned but confused. His sincere heart to His Majesty must have been lost in a moment of impatience!"

"Oh. Out of proportion."

Xiao Lingfeng smiled silently, and then his voice became sharp: "Is it just out of proportion to collude with foreigners? Is it out of proportion to raise private soldiers? Is it just out of proportion for Chen Bing to rebel against the defenses of the states outside the city of Yuezhou? Is it because he, Xu Lin, put the knife on the ground? Your Majesty got it on his neck, and he just lost his sense of proportion?"

After his words fell, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

Collusion with foreigners?Raising private soldiers?Instigate defense?

Can Xu Lin really do these things?

Bingbu Shangshu's body shook, his eyes widened in horror.These things were done secretly by them, how could Xiao Lingfeng know?

Could it be that Xiao Lingfeng's operations over the years were not limited to the Northwest? Could it be that Xiao Lingfeng's news network had infiltrated them unconsciously?

But he didn't know that it was too energy-consuming to infiltrate this kind of thing, Zhuang Qingyue directly turned the Taifu's mansion upside down, and Xiao Lingfeng knew all the secret letters between them in the past.What he and Zhuang Qingyue's people did was to verify them one by one.

"Come on, let me take it down!"

Xiao Lingfeng got up suddenly, and following his order, heavy and dense footsteps sounded, and the political hall was surrounded in an instant.

A group of royal guards stepped into the hall, and the Minister of the Ministry of War had no time to regain his senses when the royal guards held a knife around his neck.

The door of the palace slammed shut, shutting all the flustered or sluggish ministers inside the palace.The heavy sound woke up all the officials, and someone questioned with a trembling voice.

"What does the Regent mean?"

"Is the regent imprisoning the veterans here, really trying to force the palace to rebel?"

Before the regent could speak, Master Yuan, who had been closing his eyes to meditate, ordered Master Yuan to speak: "Colleagues, don't worry."

"The regent has his reasons for asking us to stay here. As for forcing the palace to rebel, how is it possible!"

Master Yuan opened his eyes and began to fool around, "The Regent and His Majesty are a family, how could a family fight and kill each other! Besides, the Regent is already the Regent, who dares not obey the Regent's orders?"

He stroked his beard, and glanced at Xiao Lingfeng very secretly: "Besides, our regent will not have any children in the future. If there is no heir, it is meaningless to be the emperor!"

The ministers were taken aback for a moment, and said to themselves, how do you know that the regent has no heirs?

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites took two steps forward, raised his hand to suppress the discussion of the crowd, then took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, and presented them to Xiao Lingfeng.

"His Royal Highness, these are all the auspicious days for marriage in the past three months. Let's see, when will you and Mr. Zhuang hold the wedding ceremony?" While talking, the Minister of Rites blinked at Xiao Lingfeng.

Xiao Lingfeng pinched his eyebrows helplessly.

I thought that with such a big event as Xu Lin today, the Minister of Rites would press the matter down, but I didn't expect him to say such a thing at this time——

Although what he said was very in line with Xiao Lingfeng's wishes - but the direction of the matter was really too weird.

But Xiao Lingfeng knew that the inappropriate words of Mr. Yuan and the Minister of Rites, which seemed to add to the chaos, were not only to appease the ministers, but also to remind him.

If one wanted to be an emperor, it would be a great dereliction of duty to have no heirs, and if Zhuang Qingyue could not bear him a child, he would never be able to become his queen—even though he had no intention of becoming an emperor at all.

"My lords have to be wronged to stay in the hall for a while." After receiving the papers with auspicious days written on them, the cold and hard arc of his mouth softened unknowingly.

"I have just explained to you that Xu Lin has committed the crime of punishing the nine clans by conspiring to rebel for many years. The purpose of keeping everyone here today is to find out Xu Lin's accomplices."

He glanced at the crowd: "Master Wei?"

Dali Temple Minister Wei Zhen took two steps forward, cupped his hands towards Xiao Lingfeng, and then took out several account books and many papers densely packed with confessions and fingerprints from his wide sleeves.

"My lords, a month ago, Your Majesty ordered me to re-investigate the corruption case of Lord Zhuang, who was ordered by the former Shangshu Ling Zhuang Yi. I'm sorry. I didn't find out the truth behind it until today."

He handed the account book and confession in his hand to Eunuch Zhao beside him, motioning him to distribute it to everyone.

"Master Zhuang was accused of embezzlement, but in fact all the money went to the Suxi Army. As you all know, General Xu Lin is able to mobilize these [-] private soldiers today, and it is thanks to this money."

He paused, then added: "Of course, part of the money was used as military expenses, and the other part flowed into the Twelve Leagues of Xisha. As for what kind of deal Xu Lin made with Xisha with this money, everyone should Have you guessed it already?"

"All the confessions in the account books are here, please colleagues spend some time to take a good look."

After a while, there were bursts of gasping sounds in the hall.Even though Xu Lin had been loyal to his duties for so many years and showed no sign of rebellion, when they saw the ironclad evidence before them, these officials had to believe this fact.

But at this moment in the hall, apart from those who were scrambling to circulate the account books and confessions, there were also some people who held the account books and confessions in their hands, but their faces were livid.

And the expressions on their faces were also caught by Xiao Lingfeng's eyes.

The author has something to say: There is also an update today!Love everyone!
