The little official, who was very excited when he said it in front of me, said that you were playing tricks or something, could it be him. "

Gao Chi nodded: "Yes, that little official is called Anxu Lie Tuo Tuo, his ancestral home is not flowery, and he has privately done business with Fang Guozhen in smuggling salt, and the inspector Dalu Huachi is also with him."

Fang Guozhen's private salt business was exposed, and when she resisted arrest, she killed Chaoyan officials. king.

Of course the crown prince knew Fang Guozhen, and he gritted his teeth angrily: "Looks like Lin'an's officialdom also needs to be cleaned up."

Gao Chi: "My minister also thinks so. You should feel at ease if you have a supervisor in Lin'an, but Lin'an is too big, and there are always places that can't be supervised by Qinsi. Lin'an is also very important, Your Highness must not take it lightly."

The crown prince thought for a while, summoned Prime Minister You Sijian of Zhongshu, and said to him: "Under your rule, there are two small officials who colluded with Fang Guozhen to do the business of smuggling salt, don't you know?"

Qin Sijian was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back: "Well... this servant is stupid..."

Prince: "You and Shisan have combined together, arrest those who deserve to be arrested, and those who deserve to be killed. I sent you to sit in Lin'an to relieve my worries. Don't add trouble to me."

Qin Sijian hurriedly said, "Your servant obeys..."

The prince still has to go out to play, and the itinerary has been arranged, so I will let Qin Sijian stay and discuss with Gao Chi. I can rest assured that you will not affect my good mood.

Qin Sijian asked Gao Chi cautiously, who is it?

Gao Chi said coldly: "Anxu Lie Tuo Tuo and Fang Guozhen are engaged in the smuggling salt business, and the inspector Dalu Huachi is an accomplice."

It's a bit difficult for Jian Sijian. Dalu Huachi was personally promoted by him. He also guessed that these two people had a problem with Gao Chi, because these two people came to him to beg for mercy, and their words were vague. He said that he might have offended the Thirteenth Master, and asked him to help him with it.

He also agreed to help with it, but now it seems that he can't do it anymore.

"Well, I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince can be tolerant? They are my people, and I must not be cruel to my own people."

Gao Chi glanced at him: "Don't you understand yet? They offended me."

Jian Sijian: "This..."

Gao Chi: "I don't care what method you use, these two people can't stay. I know they belong to you, and you also have other people in your hand, and find someone else to take their place. You have to deal with the details, there are doubts Yes, come to discuss with me."

Sijian: "..."

Needless to say, the consequences of offending Gao Chi will be miserable.

Jian Sijian knew Gao Chi's methods, and being able to be the crown prince's number one counselor was not easy to deal with. You can only blame the two unlucky men under his command. Who made you offend Gao Chi?

Under the auspices of Prime Minister You Sijian of Zhongshu, the first arrest was made, and the arrest process had some twists and turns.

Dalu Huachi and An Xulie resisted the arrest, and they bargained with the supervisor: "The prime minister said that the thirteenth master wants to kill us. We can't just catch us, I want to fight back."

Jian Sijian raised his eyebrows: "How do you want to counterattack?"

"The Thirteenth Master secretly colluded with Zhu Yuanzhang."

"What did you say?"

"I said, Lord Thirteen has met Zhu Yuanzhang, and they met secretly, so they must be plotting something."

Jian Sijian was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly: "You, you, don't talk nonsense."

"Master Prime Minister, we are your confidantes who accompany you. Do I dare to talk nonsense about such things?"

Pin Sijian frowned and had a headache: "Hey, do you know who the Thirteenth Lord is? He is the Crown Prince's Thirteenth Brother, and his mother is one of the three concubines around the Emperor. His surname is Bo'er Jijin. It is absolutely impossible for him to oppose the prince, and it is absolutely impossible for him to oppose the emperor."

"Your Excellency, don't get excited. I never said that the Thirteenth Master would collude with Zhu Yuanzhang to rebel. I only said that I knew they had met in private. As for whether they have a secret plot to rebel, who knows?"

"Who knows? Don't tell me what you're not sure about."

"Prime Minister calm down, let me tell you the cause and effect."

"..."

"Wanjiaban is a line under Li Shanchang. It has been responsible for collecting information from the rivers and lakes for a long time and passing it to Li Shanchang. You know, Mr. Prime Minister, that Li Shanchang belongs to Zhu Yuanzhang's gang."

Jian Sijian nodded.

"After the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the Wanjia troupe fought with the Chen family troupe. It was a good time to take this troupe together. Who knew that Gao Chi jumped out. We didn't know he was the thirteenth master, because we couldn't find out his details. He didn’t dare to be tough, so he could only follow his plan, change weapons and fights into fights, and kill the troupe master to quell the incident.”

"..."

"The new head of the theater troupe continued to pass on news to Li Shanchang. It was the one who the prime minister rushed to the execution ground to save. He looked very similar to Lord Thirteen. Why was he beheaded that day? Because he hid Weapons, where did he get his weapons? His father gave them to him. Who is his father? He was shot to death by His Royal Highness three days ago, and his father Wan Desheng belonged to Li Shanchang."

Qin Sijian had a headache: "What you said is after all guesswork, not real evidence, it's all your imagination. If you say these words on the stage, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"The fish will die and the net will be broken."

"Wrong, the net won't break even if the fish dies."

"..."

"Are you going to confront Lord Thirteen head-on?"

"Then what else can we do? The Thirteenth Master wants us to die, and it's all up to me. Will I still be afraid of him?"

"You are not afraid! I am afraid!" Gu Sijian circled the room.

"..."

"Let me tell you, the thirteenth master has been with the prince since he was a child. As far as I know, he, the twelfth master, and the seventh and eighth masters who stayed behind in Dadu are not only the sons of the ministers, but also the relatives of the prince. scholar?"

"Dead man?"

"They can't marry wives and have children, they can't have any worries, they can't touch the truth, and they don't have weaknesses. They just want to avoid being exploited and broken by others. Their fate is tied together. All this is to protect the crown prince from ascending to the throne."

"..."

"Do you know the methods of the Thirteenth Lord? I am Prime Minister Zuo of Zhongshu Sheng. Do you know how Prime Minister You of Zhongshu Sheng died? You don't use a knife to kill people, it all depends on tricks. Hundreds of people were implicated, and blood flowed like a river. See ever?"

"..."

"The He Taiping case aroused public forgiveness, and all the officials played the ball and handed it directly to the emperor. The matter could not be suppressed, so the prince reluctantly exiled the Thirteenth Lord. The place of exile was kept secret to prevent someone from assassinating the Thirteenth Lord. You guys Luckily, what luck, the Thirteenth Master was exiled to Lin'an. Hehehe, it's your fate."

"No, we don't accept our fate, we have to fight to the death."

"How do you fight? What do you fight with? You have so many worries about your son and daughter, will the Thirteenth Lord be afraid of you? Will the crown prince trust you?"

"I know the soft help of Lord Thirteen!"

? ?

"Wan family leader Jingui?"

Sijian: "..."

"Prime Minister, don't underestimate this Wan Jingui. I went to arrest Wan Desheng's family members and killed Wan Jingui's grandfather by mistake. I guess this offended him. He tricked him into telling the Thirteenth Master, so the Thirteenth Master They are going to kill us just to avenge that Wan Jingui."

"..."

"Since the thirteenth master vowed to be filial and loyal to the prince, why did he listen to Jingui? When the thirteenth master lived in Wanjiazhuang, he heard that he ate and lived with Jingui, and then under Jingui's arrangement, the thirteenth master secretly met. Zhu Yuanzhang."

"..."

"The scope is getting smaller and smaller. Wan Jingui is the key person. He was just arrested. Wanjiazhuang was evacuated overnight. There are nearly a hundred people, old and young. They didn't use a car to transport heavy objects. Someone must be there. I'm sure it's Li Shanchang. What the hell. I went to check it myself after dawn, and there was nothing valuable left in the manor, so it can be seen that preparations have been made for a long time."

Jian Sijian hesitated again and again, and made a concession: "In this way, according to the crime of smuggling salt, I will still arrest you and put you in prison. At the same time, I will give you a chance. Write down what you know, and I promise to hand it over to the crown prince." .As for whether the crown prince wants you to die or live, I can't help it. If you have a fight with my master and servant, I will do it right from the beginning to the end."

"it is good."

……

The prince read the letter, his fingers were trembling, and he immediately recruited Twelve to discuss.

After a while, someone passed Shisan to him again.

The prince's complexion was not good, he slapped the letter paper on the table, and asked: "Thirteen, do you want to explain the contents of this letter?"

Gao Chi looked calm, took the letter, read it quickly, then raised his head and said, "I have indeed met Zhu Yuanzhang."

Prince: "..."

"I was taken to a small farmyard, where there were Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen."

"What did you see them say?"

"Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to recruit me like Liu Bei, but unfortunately I'm not Zhuge Liang. I didn't talk about anything. If I can't recruit, I can't be my own person. Of course, they won't say anything to me."

"that's it?"

"Yes!" Gao Chi nodded: "If they knew my identity, would I still be able to come out safely? Maybe they would have arrested me long ago and used it as a bargaining chip to blackmail His Highness."

The prince thought about it, and he was right.

After looking at the letter, he asked again: "This troupe is Li Shanchang's line, do you know?"

Gao Chi nodded: "Yes, I got the news last spring. I chose this place in exile for this reason. The actor looks very similar to me, which made me curious, so I went to check the details of this troupe by the way. "

"Oh, is it just because you look like you that you are curious? You lived and ate and lived with that actor for several months, maybe you are tempted?"

Gao Chi looked indifferent, and continued to deny: "No."

There was a murderous look in the prince's eyes, and his tone was definitely not a joke: "Then I will give the order now to kill that actor."

Gao Chi's fingers trembled, showing a trace of panic, and was caught by the prince.

The prince gritted his teeth and said: "You are confused, take a step
