It was an ordinary and busy day in Bianliang City on the ninth day of June in the fourteenth year of Jinghan's reign.

it's clear.

For many high-level officials of the Wu Dynasty, it has just been a month since the death of the former right prime minister Qin Siyuan. This is also an important and special day. After the political disputes and wrangling in the earlier days, on this day, the political situation of the Wu Dynasty will change for a period of time.

The basic structure has been determined, and the appointment and transfer of many officials, as well as the clarification of responsibilities for the Yellow River defense line and the resistance to the Jurchen issue, will be determined on this day.

In a sense, this is a victory banquet where officials reward merit and punishment and divide the fruits of victory. Although they lost the battle with the Jurchens, at least in another war, many people gained

victory.

The morning dynasty starts at the fifth watch. Officials who are preparing to go to court often go out to the palace at the third watch. The frequency of the morning dynasty in the Wu Dynasty is variable. Generally, it is once every five days, but there are too many things going on recently.

, in order to better organize the fight against the Jurchens, the frequency was changed to two days or even one day. Some officials complained, but today, not many people have such sentiments.

Ning Yi got up after midnight. After slowly punching in the yard, he took a shower and changed clothes. He also ate some porridge and rice. After sitting quietly for a while, someone came over and asked him to go out. The carriage drove through the quiet market in the early morning.

, also drove past the residence of the former Right Prime Minister, and stopped when they were approaching the road to the palace gate. Ning Yi got out of the car. The driver was Zhu Biao, who hesitated to speak, but Ning Yi looked calm and took the photo

Patting him on the shoulder, he turned around and walked towards Miyagi in the distance.

Under the imperial city, many officials, large and small, had gathered. After Ning Yi arrived, he stood far away on the roadside where no one was paying attention. Not long after, Tong Guan also came, and Cai Jing also came.

Wang Fu, Li Yan, Zhang Bangchang, Li Gang, Qin Hui, Gao Qiu, Tang Ke, Wu Min... and others also came one after another and gathered in different places outside the palace city.

Everyone has a circle, but of course. They don't just stand together in one party. The first thing is of course status. Cai Jing and Tong Guan are the two giants in the court. Because they are in different fields, there is less friction. They get along well.

They are quite harmonious, and even if they don't get along well with each other, they will get together in a hahahahahahaha, compliment each other or criticize each other.

The people at Yushitai are relatively single. They don't want to form cliques. Even if they stand together, they are often separated from each other. They also don't like a large group of people talking together. At most, they can only talk to each other in pairs with solemn expressions. The second one is Qingliu.

.They may not have a high position, but they stand firm. Only those who stand firm will be appreciated by their superiors. Great Confucians are often good at dancing, have a literary character, are round on the outside and square on the inside, but are not afraid of what others say.

There are several young officials or young military generals with lower status who were brought here by others, or they are nephews and nephews in the big family, or potential new recruits. They are being brought here in the warm yellow light of the lanterns.

He led everyone around to recognize people and say hello. Ning Yi stood beside him, alone, and walked past him. The first person to say hello to him was Tan Zhen.

"Coming."

He looked forward and said coldly.

"yes."

Ning Yi replied.

Then Tan Zhen walked over, and he was followed by a general with a fierce face. Ning Yi knew that this general's name was Shi Yuanmeng. He was a young military general under Tan Zhen's command who attracted much attention.

Today they will all meet together for the last time.

"Coming."

Another voice sounded, this time, the voice was much gentler, but it sounded a bit tired. It was Tang Ke who calmly came over after greeting several officials. Although as a peacemaker,

Once with Qin Si

Yuan had a lot of conflicts and disagreements, but privately, the two were still good friends who cherished each other. Even though their paths were different, when Qin Siyuan was dismissed as prime minister and imprisoned, he still did a lot of work for Qin Siyuan's affairs.

After Qin Siyuan was sentenced to exile in Lingnan, he was originally going to be sent to Salman Island and sent to the army. From then on, Qin Siyuan and Qin Siyuan were far apart, but because of his activities, Qin Shaoqian was also sentenced to be sent to Lingnan.

Even though the two of them are in different places in Lingnan, at least the distance between them is much shorter. If they work in private, they might not be able to get together.

Unfortunately, all these efforts are meaningless.

"yes."

Ning Yi also answered.

"Don't think too much about today's affairs." Tang Ke said, "Old Qin is gone. Do your best and don't let him down."

"yes."

After Qin Siyuan left, many things, including the black materials given to Tong Guan to save his life, were left to Ning Yi. Tang Ke did not complain about him for this, and probably regarded Ning Yi as Qin Siyuan's to some extent.

The one who inherits the mantle.

After a while, Tong Guan came over here seemingly unintentionally while talking to someone, and looked at him a few times: "Do you remember everything I told you two days ago?"

"Remember."

"Okay." He nodded and said, "Do it well."

He did not wave Ning Yi over, but took the time to come over, not to condescend, but to minimize the impact. But being able to show such a demeanor still attracted a lot of attention to Ning Yi. Ning Yi was also familiar with the crowd.

People like Li Gang, the white-haired old man with a straight face, looked at him from a distance and stopped looking at him.

Firstly, Li Gang's position has begun to be neglected. Secondly, when Qin Siyuan's accident happened, Li Gang may have thought that the Qin Dynasty had collapsed, and the remaining power should cling to him and help him achieve great things. Ning Yi later turned to Tong Guan, an eunuch.

He had always looked down upon him, and maybe he thought that Ning Yi's behavior was a subtle slap in the face to him, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

Some officials, big and small, noticed Ning Yi and made some comments. Some people said: "That's what the Qin family left behind..." Then they said a few words about Ning Yi's general situation, whether right or wrong. After that, most others knew.

The situation, a businessman was called to the Golden Palace, also to eliminate the influence of the Right Prime Minister, and did a full stop, which has little to do with his own situation. Some people had previous dealings with Ning Yi, and saw him at this time

It was no surprise, so I stopped talking to him.

At five o'clock in the morning, Xihua Gate opens and everyone enters the palace city. Behind Xihua Gate is Right Chengtian Gate. After passing Right Chengtian Gate, there is a long palace wall and road. On the side are Jiying Gate, Huangyi Gate, and

The hanging arch door, and then the Zichen Gate where you will enter this court meeting. Here are two more doors. Ning Yi and others went through three body searches in total. Everyone stood in the square in front of the Zichen Palace, and then the officials entered one after another.

A total of seven people, including Ning Yi, stayed at the corridor in the corner of the square outside, waiting for the announcement inside.

The fifth watch day was already halfway over, and the internal discussions began. The morning breeze blew, bringing a slight chill. The Wu Dynasty's control over officials was not strict, and several of them came from big families, whispering to each other.

The guards and eunuchs didn't take it seriously. Some people looked at Ning Yi, who had been standing there silently, with disgust on their faces.

Either because of their connections or their merits, it was an honor for them to be summoned by the emperor at this last moment. Having such a person mixed in with them immediately lowered their quality.

Ning Yi raised his head and saw that the sky was slightly white, white clouds were like catkins, and early morning birds were flying across the sky.

As people who control a country, they get up earlier than those who are controlled, but at this time, the city outside should have gradually become lively.

On the ninth day of June in the fourteenth year of Jing Han, Bianliang City. The last day of the Jing Han Dynasty.

it's clear.

Tie Tianying led his detectives through the early morning wilderness. Using clues, he went to the home of an informant arranged by Zong Feixiao.

After passing by, it was already dark, and the house had been vacant for several days, and no one was there. Tie Tianying kicked the door open, looked at the dust in the room, and then said: "Search."

Not long after, a police officer who climbed through the wall found something. He handed it to Tie Tianying. After Tie Tianying looked at it, his expression suddenly changed, and then the iron knight followed and ran out.

Chenshi.

Wu Rui Camp was doing morning exercises. Li Bingwen led a few soldiers and passed by the front of the school ground. He saw a man from Luliang not far away who was communicating as usual. It was Han Jing who was familiar with him. He put his hands on his back and looked up at the sky. Li Bingwen also laughed.

Walking over, he put his hands behind his back and took a few glances: "Brother Han, what are you looking at?"

Han Jing turned his head and smiled at him.

Li Bingwen also laughed.

"Hey, by the way, where is Village Master Lu?"

"Something's wrong with her."

"Oh, haha."

Li Bingwen just had nothing to say, so he didn't take it seriously.

Bianliang City.

Lu Hongti walked into the palace gate with two followers.

The morning court was still in the Zichen Palace. After entering the imperial city, the eunuch in the palace asked the female officer to remove her weapons and search her body. Then she was taken to the imperial study room to wait. Several experts were specially arranged to guard her.

Sunlight poured in from outside the room, and the nearby palaces seemed quiet. The palace maids served tea. Hongti sat there quietly, closing her eyes. The imperial guard outside the door occasionally glanced at her to consider her beauty.

Outside the palace city, a girl named Xigua stood on the roof of the building, raising her head to take in the morning air.

This is the capital...

Dad...Uncle Shenggong...Uncle Seventh...Aunt Baihua...and all the brothers who died...Have you seen it...

Pedestrians come and go on the streets around it, which is lively and peaceful. Not far away is the majestic palace wall.

…

After the deaths of Qin Siyuan and Qin Shaoqian, their graves were placed on the outskirts of Bianliang City.

The sun was already very high. Tie Tianying's cavalry rushed here, panting. He looked at Qin Shaoqian's tombstone, pointed with his hand, and said: "Dig it."

A group of detectives were stunned for a moment, and then they went up and started digging the grave. They did not bring tools and were not very fast. One of the detectives rode a horse to a nearby village and found two hoes. Soon after, the grave was dug open and the coffin was removed.

After being lifted up and opened, the smell of corpses filled the air. The corpse, which had been buried for a month, had rotted, deformed, and even had maggots.

Tie Tianying's hands trembled. He knew that he had found Ning Yi's weak spot and he could take action. The note in his hand said "Qin Shaoqian is suspected of not being dead." However, the dead body in the coffin was severely decomposed, so he endured it.

After a few glances, according to what Ning Yi said, Qin Shaoqian's head had been chopped off and then sewn back together. At that time, everyone couldn't have inspected the body too carefully. After a few glances, they saw that it was indeed Qin Shaoqian, that is.

The facts were established.

At this time, there were clues, but it was difficult to prove it with the corpse. He covered his mouth and nose and looked at it for a few times, and then said: "Cut off his clothes, cut off all his clothes." Two detectives suppressed their nausea and came up to do it.

Nothing could be seen from the rotting corpse, but then Tie Tianying discovered something. He grabbed the stick in the hand of a man and pushed away the rotting and deformed legs of the corpse...
