"This...this..."

After listening to Wentian's words, the young master's face finally changed, and he seemed a little relieved. But people are all lucky, so the young master calmed down and said: "It will be okay...it will be okay...that child

It's impossible to see our faces clearly. If the little prince wants to fight to death and refuse to admit it, what can Yue Su do? The little prince will not admit it to death, so I understand that Yue Su has real evidence.

Under such circumstances, I would not dare to torture the young prince."

"What you said is right. The young prince will definitely not recruit him. But my two apprentices said that the young prince fell off his horse that day. Isn't this an ironclad proof of going out to the city to run a horse race?" Wentian laughed.

said.

"The palace also has a racecourse. As long as the person is killed by a fall on the palace's racecourse, and some of the palace's guards can be found to testify, that will be fine," the young master said eagerly.

"What you said is not bad, but Yue Su is very good at investigating cases. If he doesn't dare to hit the young prince, why doesn't he dare to hit the young prince's guards? He even coaxes and scares him. With Yue Su's methods,

It should still be very possible to ask." Wentian said.

"Then silence all those guards!" When he said this, the young master's eyes lit up again, and he said: "I have an idea. Let the young prince kill all the guards who followed him that day, and then say that it was at the racecourse.

Those who fell, because these people were unable to protect them, so they were all put to death."

In the end, the young master's voice became fierce. If he had the ability, he would probably be able to kill Zhu Gongxu. It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability to kill the young prince.

"Your method is feasible, but once it is discovered by Yue Su, it will be doomed. Not to mention anything else, just inform the prince about the silence. If there is any news, let Yue Su know about your father's life.

Your reputation has been ruined. I advise you to think carefully and not involve the master in everything." Wentian said coldly. Obviously, he was still dissatisfied with the young prince's opinion on how to deal with it.

"But...but...but if I hadn't informed the young prince to prepare in advance, and Yue Su would have asked about this matter, the leak would have been leaked immediately." The young master stammered.

"I do have an idea. You and the young prince should go to Tongsuan Yamen to surrender now. Tongsuan has a relationship with the master. It can be said that he came on the day of the crime. When the time comes, the king of Zhou will give the emperor a confession, otherwise he will be killed.

To kill a little commoner, I think the most is just a reprimand, no big deal. As for the young master, after all, you didn’t kill the kid to silence him, so Yue Su won’t blame him more for the sake of the master.” Wentian laughed.

Said hehe.

"Yes, yes..." Upon hearing this, the young master nodded repeatedly and said happily: "Uncle Tian, ​​why didn't you tell me this idea earlier? It made me worry for a long time in vain. It's not me who killed the person, the little prince.

It's just an accidental injury, as long as he surrenders voluntarily, it shouldn't be a big deal."

"Ha..." Wentian sneered and said: "That's what happened, but after all, people are dead. With Yue Su's temper, even if he doesn't kill the young master and the young prince, he still has to chop off two heads. Since he surrendered,

The person who killed and silenced the child will always be handed over to Yue Su."

"Ah..." After hearing this, the young master shook his head like a rattle and said hurriedly: "No, this is not possible. Those people are all my confidants, and they are all loyal. How can I leave it to Yue Su, knowing that they will die?

.Furthermore, if I betray them, they must not betray me back. No, absolutely not..."

When the young master said this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Tian, ​​I think it's better to just say that they ran away. They are hiding in the secret room. Even if Yue Su goes through the house and searches, they probably won't be found."

"They ran away. Young master, you said it lightly. Even I won't believe this nonsense, let alone Yue Su." Wentian said contemptuously: "You said they ran away. If I were Yue Su, I would definitely ask you,

Why are they running away? You should give me an explanation."

"Afraid of crime and absconded." The young master rushed to say.

"Fleeing in fear of crime? It was the young prince who killed the man. Why did your subordinates want to kill people to silence them, and then fled in fear of crime? Can you explain the truth?" Wentian asked with a disdainful smile.

"This..." This question asked the young master to say that there was no reason at all. No matter how he explained it, it couldn't be explained. However, the young master's reaction was quite quick, and he immediately said: "Then if I and the young prince

Go surrender, even if you take the two of them, if Yue Su asks this, how should I answer?"

"You can say that the two of them wanted to take credit and reward, so they killed themselves without permission. After you saw it, it was over, so you ordered the two of them to be kidnapped and surrendered. Because the two resisted, they were killed in the melee and handed over to Yue Su.

It's just a corpse. If other people insist on this again, even if Yue Su has doubts in his heart..." At this point, Wentian raised his head and sighed: "Maybe for your father's sake, he will let it go. Anyway, you didn't kill the person.

, that’s all, give the deceased an explanation.”

"This...these thirteen people are sworn brothers and sisters. If I kill two of them, the others will not sacrifice their lives for me again. Otherwise, just say...just say that when I ordered the capture of the two of them and surrendered,

"After hearing this, the two of them fled immediately, but my men did not catch up. Uncle Tian, ​​what do you think of this?" the young master said self-righteously.

"Then let's kill them together. Since they know so much about you, it's enough to kill them all." Wentian said coldly: "Yue Su can give your father some face, but he will never tolerate others treating him like a child.

Damn it. Your retinue, plus the palace guards, can't even capture two people. Who would believe this? It's excusable to say that they died, but it's simply ridiculous to say that they escaped."

"Uncle Tian, ​​these thirteen people are all my confidants. They are very capable in doing things and cannot be killed." The young master said in embarrassment: "Otherwise, this is it. I will go and tell the young prince and let him put his

The guards were all killed and silenced. Then when Yue Su arrived, he said that he fell from the racecourse. Then I told him that even if the matter was leaked, he must not leak what I informed him about. He only said that he would answer the question himself.

I believe that he will agree to it. At that time, Yue Su can only interrogate him. As long as he doesn't tell, I still don't believe that Yue Su can use torture to extract a confession."

After that, he no longer waited for Wentian to speak, stood up directly, and walked outside. Wentian glanced at his back, shook his head, and sighed in a low voice: "You underestimate Yue Su too much, you are so stubborn.

, If you don’t know what to choose, it will be difficult to achieve great things.”

A few days later, Yue Su returned to Kaifeng. After entering the city, Zou Jiaren and Wang Linhe said goodbye first. Yue Su asked Ruan Aoyue to take the princess back and forth to the governor's Yamen to rest, and then he took the escort to the Prince of Zhou's Mansion.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, a palace guard immediately came forward and asked: "This is the palace of the Prince of Zhou. I wonder what your surname is. What is your role in the palace? I would like to pass it on to the palace."

This guard is very discerning and knows how to identify the opponent's rank by looking at the style and patchwork of his opponent's official uniform. Yue Su is now wearing a crimson official robe, with a jade belt around his waist and crane patchwork. He can tell at a glance that he is a first-rank official.

Henan has never had such a big official. I heard that there is a new governor in Henan, "Yue Shatou", but he has the title of second-grade Minister of Punishment. Judging from his clothes, this person's official position should be after that of "Yue Shatou"

Come on, I don’t know who this noble person is. The prince will not neglect such an important person when he comes. How dare he, a little guard, be disrespectful.

Yue Su didn't speak, but Yang Yishan walked over, took out Yue Su's name card and handed it over, saying: "My lord is the emperor's newly appointed Shaobao, Mr. Yue, who is currently the governor of Henan. This is the name card, please forward it to Zhou

Wang Qiansui."

The guard took the post and heard that it was 'Yue Shatou' who came to the door. He felt a sudden shock in his heart, then nodded and said: "Yes, yes..."

Then he hurriedly ran into the palace to report.

After a while, the middle door of the palace opened, and the chief clerk of the palace came out to greet him, "Congratulations to Lord Yue on your promotion to Shaobao. My prince was extremely happy when he heard that Lord Yue came to visit. He has been waiting for you in Yin'an Hall. Please come inside."

Yue Su jumped off his horse, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, I'll lead the way." After saying that, he walked straight into the palace.

When he went to Luoyang, he had to take Shang Fang's sword and three copper guilders with him. Now when he returned to Kaifeng, he did not go back to the governor's office and went directly to the palace. Now Yue Su entered the door, Jin Chan followed closely with Shang Fang's sword in his arms, and Tie

Qiu commanded the soldiers and walked toward the palace with their guillotines in hand.

In fact, the rules of the Royal Palace and the Royal Palace are not much different. Weapons are not allowed to enter. The guard guarding the door quickly stopped him and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry. The Royal Palace has regulations that prohibit visitors from bringing in any weapons."

Jin Chan and Tie Qiu refused to let in, and immediately shouted: "Sir, they won't let us in."

Yue Su turned around and said, "Why don't you give in?"

The chief clerk said quickly: "Sir, although the palace is not as good as the palace, it still has a clear policy. Visitors are prohibited from entering with even an inch of armor."

Su nodded and said: "I see. It's just..." As he said that, Yue Su pointed at Jin Chan and said: "The sword my attendant is holding is the Shang Fang Sword given by the emperor today. Look..."

"This..." The chief clerk reacted quickly and said hurriedly: "This is of course a different matter, let's let it go as soon as possible."

Jin Chan walked to Yue Su holding Shang Fang's sword, but Tie Qiu and others were stopped again. The chief clerk said politely: "Sir, that... Shang Fang's sword can naturally enter... other weapons... just...

…”

Yue Su chuckled and said, "These three copper guillotines are also a gift from the emperor."

"Ah..." Seeing what Yue Su said, the chief clerk had no choice but to say: "Since it is a gift from the emperor... then of course you can enter, but the swords on these people..."

Yue Su seemed too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He stretched out his hand towards Jin Chan, who immediately presented Shang Fang's sword. Then he heard Yue Su loudly say: "Shang Fang's sword is here, as long as I am here in person!"

Yue Su's men have long been accustomed to it. As soon as Yue Su draws his sword and uses this slogan, they will immediately kneel down and shout: "Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

As a result, the chief clerk of the palace and the guards had to kneel down and shout long live.

Yue Su chuckled softly and said: "This department is here with Shang Fang's sword. If His Majesty comes in person and is accompanied by guards, will the palace also stop him?"

"this……"

Wherever the emperor goes, whoever is accompanying the escort dares to stop him. Yue Su shows the emperor's sign, and the registrar naturally makes excuses to stop him, so he can only shout: "Please, please..."

Seeing that Yue Su had already established his authority, of course he would not make things more difficult. He handed the sword to Jin Chan, turned around and walked inward. In fact, his guards had already ordered that they didn't need to come in too many, just a hundred or so people would be enough.

That was enough. The chief clerk got up and followed, leading Yue Su to the Yin'an Palace.

When they arrived outside the palace, Yue Su only brought Jin Chan inside. According to regulations, Jin Chan was not allowed to enter. But now that he was holding Shang Fang's sword, the chief clerk did not dare to touch him again, so he just turned a blind eye.

Arriving at the Yin'an Palace, Yue Su rushed forward and held his hands, "Yue Su, the governor of Henan Province, saw that the king of Zhou was a thousand years old."

Someone had already reported the scene when Yue Su entered the door. Although the King of Zhou was angry with Yue Su's arrogance, he was helpless. He waved his hand and said: "Master Yue, I'm sorry. I heard that you are patrolling Henan and are busy with official duties. I don't know why you are here today."

Sora has come to Prince Gu’s mansion? By the way, hurry up and take a seat.”

A eunuch brought a chair and asked Yue Su to sit beside him, while Jin Chan stood behind Yue Su consciously.

Yue Su raised his hand again and said: "I have been ordered to patrol Henan and provide relief to the victims. I have long planned to visit the prince, but I have been busy with official duties and have never had time. I was invited to Luoyang to attend the Dragon Gate Conference the day before yesterday. I just returned today and happened to be on the way.

Come to the palace to say hello."

"I see." King Zhou said a few more polite words, and Yue Su also chatted freely. After chatting for a while, Yue Su said, "I wonder how many princes the prince has."

"The lonely king has four sons. What do you mean by this?" Upon hearing that Yue Su mentioned his sons, King Zhou's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself: "Is he really here for this?

?”

It turned out that the day before yesterday, the crown prince Zhu Gongxu suddenly asked for permission to see him injured, saying that he sneaked out of the city and killed someone. This was not a big deal at first, but Zhu Gongxu said that Yue Su probably already knew that the person who killed him was a minor, and he was afraid that he would accuse him of leaving the city.

, The intention is evil. This kind of thing can be big or small. If the emperor is in a good mood, he can at most reprimand him. If he is in a bad mood, he may issue an order to cut down the vassal.

Princes are also divided into three, six or nine levels. If a descendant of Zhu Di is granted the title of king, as long as you do not rebel, things like this will usually be reprimanded. But if the descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang is granted the title of king and has been hereditary until now, the treatment will be different.

Those who do not obey the ancestral system at all will be severely punished and cut off the vassal, and at the least, they may be imprisoned in the clan mansion. Who caused Prince Ning's incident to happen during the Zhengde period, and the succeeding emperor had even more strict control over the vassal kings left by the ancestors.

In the early days, there were still three thousand guards in the royal palace, but now the regulations only limit it to one thousand. As long as you over-staff, you will definitely have a bad intention.

Sure enough, at this time, I heard Yue Su say calmly: "I have a small official business here, which is to listen to a report that a prince in my family went out of the city on the first day of October.

I don’t know if I have asked for an order, so I came here to ask.”

"Leave the city?" King Zhou pretended to be confused, waved his hands and said: "Impossible, impossible... The sons of King Gu are all following the rules, how could they leave the city without permission?"

"Since your lord has said this, the junior officer can rest assured. Your lord, you also know that the court has regulations. If the vassal king leaves the city without asking for permission, the local officials will be cut off from their posts and sent to the army. I really don't dare to neglect it."

"By the way, prince, I wonder if I can invite a few young princes to come out to meet me. I would like to confirm."
