"My lady thinks, if there is a chance, how about letting him be the emperor?"

That person is the emperor? Lin San dared to say it.

What behavior is this? rebellion! It is a great crime to punish the nine clans.

She quickly covered his mouth with her hands: "You don't want to die?"

Lin Yue grabbed her wrist and took her hand away: "Isn't it a great crime to punish the nine clans if a fake eunuch gets the empress's body? Besides, has the empress forgotten that the minister is going to avenge the late emperor, once Zhu You's body is prosecuted?" Death, who will inherit the throne? Choose someone from the vassal kings in other places? Will he treat the empress well? I thought not, so instead of handing over the throne to someone else, it is better to give it to the younger brother of the minister, so that the empress can be guaranteed for life Worry-free, the minister and the empress can stay together for a long time."

Zhang Yan looked at his face in a daze, thinking that he said that he wanted to avenge Zhu Youxiao, it was just a talk, the real purpose was to eliminate the guilt in her heart, and completely accept him from body to mind, but now it seems... The eunuch really planned and took action.

"No, no...it's too dangerous."

Lin Yue kissed her hand clenched into a fist because of fear, with thin sweat oozing out from the palm: "Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Seeing that Zhang Yan still looked out of control, Lin Yue sighed: "Your Majesty thinks that from a first-time follower to the court, now that I have killed Wei Zhongxian and slept in your Majesty's bed, I will split up with Zhao Jingzhong from tomorrow on." How long did it take?"

She pinched her fingers and calculated, it was less than five months.

"Young lady, think about it again. Just now, when Caichen took you to Xinwang's mansion, did you encounter any resistance on the way?" Lin Yue said: "Although the palace is large and there are many forbidden troops, it is basically impossible to keep the minister."

Zhang Yan thought of the conversation between the "brother" in Lin San's mouth and Zhu Youjian, and then recalled the incident of her visiting the guest family and Wei Zhongxian in the early court a few days ago... Poor Zhu Youjian fell for the double-reed trick of the two brothers and failed. self-knowledge.

Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved, looked at the little eunuch who was by her side, and finally understood why he had an inexplicable attraction - because this little eunuch was not an ordinary person.

As for whether Daming Jiangshan's surname is Zhu, does it have anything to do with her? She has no children, and now she is living a widow's life without a plan.

"So, that parrot, and the jade hairpin I lost... are all means you used to get close to me?"

"Your Majesty is so smart." Lin Yue put his face close to her, and whispered softly in her ear: "My brother wants the throne, and I want the Empress. From today on, I will be your Majesty's servant during the day, and your Majesty at night." She is the minister's woman, during the day the minister serves the empress, and at night the empress serves the minister."

Hearing his three-point consolation and seven-point tease, Zhang Yan felt blushing and hot, and her heart beat faster: "You... are really a bad person."

Lin Yue uncovered the scarlet quilt embroidered with cross-necked dragons and phoenixes: "This is called 'interest'."

...

next morning.

The morgue of the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

Zhao Jingzhong covered his nose with a handkerchief and looked into the coffin. On the contrary, Han Kuang, who was standing across from him, looked normal and was not frightened by the "nine thousand years old" who had been burned into a mummified corpse.

"Eunuch Zhao thinks those three people are telling the truth?"

Zhao Jingzhong stretched out his hand to touch the pit of the burnt corpse's heart: "Han Shoufu is too worried, such a big matter, the little Jinyiwei General Banner, even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to lie."

"Eunuch Zhao, although the emperor is young, but his eyes are as bright as a torch, I really want to..."

Before Han Kuang finished speaking, there was a flash of light at the door, and a person walked in.

Zhao Jingzhong turned his head to look, frowned and said, "Why is it you?"

"Why can't it be me?" The person who came was none other than Lin Yue: "Did the emperor say to suspend the investigation of the treasure ship case?"

Zhao Jingzhong suddenly smiled: "Zhao has not congratulated Mr. Lin for his safe escape."

"Hehe, I also want to congratulate Eunuch Zhao. Once Wei Zhongxian dies, Eunuch Zhao will rule the world after Dongchang."

While speaking, he walked up to the gloomy coffin with its head raised, pretending to examine it carefully.

"Eunuch Lin is really dedicated to his duties. He just came home yesterday, and today he came to the Yamen to investigate the case..."

Before Zhao Jingzhong finished speaking, Han Kuang walked up to him and whispered something in his ear.

Zhao Jingzhong's face suddenly changed, because Han Shoufu said that during the cabinet meeting this morning, the emperor had revealed the idea of ​​letting Lin San go to the East Factory, and the cabinet members did not object, because Lin San cooperated with Zhang Yan to impeach Wei Zhongxian. The prelude to the encirclement and suppression of the eunuch party, and the disappearance of Lin San pushed the action to a climax, and considering the suffering he suffered after being imprisoned in the cellar of Tianji Manor for more than a month, no one in the Manchu dynasty was qualified to say no to the emperor rewarding him .

What did Lin Yue do in the East Factory? Divide power.

Does the emperor not trust him, or does he want to rectify, or even abolish Dongchang?

"Eunuch Zhao, I heard that the person you sent to find Wei Zhongxian was chosen by you."

Lin Yue's question brought back Zhao Jingzhong's thoughts: "It was chosen by Zhao, is there any problem?"

Lin Yue touched the place he touched just now: "I heard that the emperor's order is to live. How come it was brought back a charred corpse that was beyond recognition. I don't know where the three guards are now?"

"I don't know Eunuch Lin..."

"Oh, I have a few questions and I want to ask them for confirmation."

Zhao Jingzhong's face became more and more ugly, because his intuition told him that Lin San had begun to doubt the identity of the corpse. Unlike Han Kuang, this kid acted swiftly and resolutely. He really wanted to find the three of them, Lu Jianxing, knowing that the three of them had been instructed to kill him. If Wei Zhongxian is involved, then he will be in some trouble.

In addition, he knew very well that the body in the coffin was not Wei Zhongxian, so needless to say, those three people must have reached some kind of deal with Wei Zhongxian, playing a trick to hide it.

I thought that after killing Wei Zhongxian, he would not be known about the bad things he did in the past, such as assassinating the Donglin party members. As a result, the matter got out of control and put him in a dilemma. Given the current situation, this matter must be resolved. There was only one way left.

Kill and silence!

"Actually, it's easy to know if this corpse is Wei Zhongxian."

Another startling sentence, Zhao Jingzhong and Han Kuang looked at Lin Yue with doubts.

"According to me, Wei Zhongxian has been taking elixir for a long time. Eunuch Zhao should know about this, right?"

Zhao Jingzhong nodded sullenly.

Lin Yue said: "If you take the elixir for a long time, your bones will become easier for ordinary people. As long as you invite a skilled foreman to open the coffin for an autopsy, you can tell whether this person is Wei Zhongxian."

Han Kuang nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Over there, Zhao Jingzhong's face remained normal, but he secretly decided in his heart that those three people must be dealt with as soon as possible.

...

noon.

Jinyiwei Beisi.

Zhang Ying, who was wearing a silver Baihu gown, looked at a row of subordinates standing in front of him.

"Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, the two of you follow me to Yan Peiwei's residence to arrest the eunuchs."

Yan Peiwei, the imperial envoy of Qiandu?

Is he also a gangster?

There was a lot of discussion below.

Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan had normal expressions, but Shen Lian's eyes flickered, with a bad premonition in his heart. He used to be a member of the Northern Division, and he had worked in the capital for many years. Unlike the previous two, he knew that Yan Peiwei was from the Golden Knife Gate, and the mansion had dozens of followers.

The three men "killed" Wei Zhongxian and returned to the capital. Before the holiday was over, Zhang Ying summoned them to the Yamen and assigned them new errands.

"Yes, my lord." Shen Lian was suspicious, but Lu Jianxing simply agreed.

"Okay, let's go." The fat Zhang Ying walked outside with his confidant, the little flag officer.

After half an hour.

Jinyi Weiti, carrying a longbow and carrying a quiver, rode in line in front of Yan Peiwei's mansion, looking hostile to the visitor.

Zhang Ying was riding on the horse, looking impatiently at the three brothers who were motionless in the crowd.

"Lu Jianxing, the Shangguan said, who can take Yan Peiwei and be promoted to a higher level, do you want the credit or not?"

"My lord, I'll go."

Take Xu Xianchun, kill Wei Zhongxian, and then get rid of Yan Peiwei, is it possible that the higher-ups can suppress him from being promoted to a hundred households?

In fact, Lu Jianxing also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't care. First, he didn't know that the corpse in the coffin was a counterfeit. Second, what Zhang Ying said was not unreasonable. The family had no reason to violently resist.

Because they were given three days off after returning yesterday, Lu Jianxing didn't know that the Eunuch Lin he had been friends with had been found. Facing the aggressive Zhang Ying, the most sensible choice was to give in.

The three brothers left the crowd and walked towards the Yan Mansion.

Just like in the movie, after entering the courtyard, Yan Peiwei explained his purpose, and Yan Peiwei agreed to go to the Yamen to talk to the three of them. At this moment, a flying arrow shot into the courtyard from the outside and nailed Yan Peiwei's chest.

Seeing that his father was dead, Yan Yanbin was so angry that he ordered the sword-wielding doormen around him to kill three people to avenge his father.

At this time, Lu Jianxing suddenly realized that Zhang Ying's sending them into the mansion to arrest people was false, and it was true to kill people with knives.

While watching and helping each other, the three of them charged hard and slowly retreated to the entrance, trying to open the door to escape, but the door was locked from the outside.

Looking at the wave after wave of doormen rushing forward, Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan gritted their teeth and struggled, Lu Jianxing hates it, you said that when Zhang Ying was going to kill Zhang Ying to make room for hundreds of households, why did he give it to him? Rejected?

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.

Outside, at the entrance of the alley diagonally across from the Yan Mansion, the small window of the sedan chair was opened, and behind it was Zhao Jingzhong's leisurely and contented face.

Killing with a knife is the best thing.

Unfortunately, the smile on his face froze in the next second.
