Of course, the results were a big disappointment.

It was actually a night without words, and the remnants of the Maitreya Society were like turtles with shrunken heads, and they did not act, and Mingxuan Pavilion was calm overnight, which made many of the powerful bigwigs who received the news extremely disappointed.

Compared with the speculation of the major forces, the Yamen of Shuntianfu and the relevant city defense departments of the Beijing Division are relieved, they are deeply afraid that there will be any more mistakes, or they are deeply afraid that there will be more thieves to rob them, which will double their pressure.

But fortunately, the night was peaceful, which is really a great thing! Just be in peace!

After all, there was such a major assassination yesterday, with countless casualties, this is a big event, fortunately, there are Dongchang and Jinyiwei in front of the thunder, and they don't have much responsibility, but last night was different, just because, the Dongchang and Jinyiwei encircled and suppressed the thieves, and the responsibility of defending the Jingshi fell on their heads, and it was their responsibility to be a little late! Therefore, they are under a lot of pressure!

Now this kind of calm is what they think and want!

Just when everyone was glad that nothing uncontrollable had happened, in the imperial study of the palace, Hongzhi was looking at Chen Zhun and Mu Bin in front of him with a sinking face.

But these two people stood tremblingly on the ground, standing with their heads down, not daring to make the slightest mistake.

Hongji looked at them with a gloomy face, "Are you sure you want to search the Xiao Mansion?" ”

"Yes, Weichen has found out, all kinds of clues directly point to the Xiao Mansion, and in fact, Weichen had suspicions before, but it has not been confirmed, so he didn't start, after all, the stakes are very high, and it is related to Xie Ge Lao, and the ministers dare not be good at it!" Chen Zhun nodded back.

When Hongji heard this, he was silent in thought.

You must know that this Xiao family is not a side family, the Xiao Mansion is actually a descendant of the Xiao family in Lanling!

Lanling Xiao family, a famous family in ancient China, is one of the top gate valves. Lanling Xiao clan is Lanling County (now Lanling County, Linyi City, Shandong Province) Wang clan, the first rise was in the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Xuan Emperor period of the minister prince Taifu Xiao Wangzhi began, and from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the end of the Western Jin Dynasty more than 200 years in the middle of the fall, to the end of the Western Jin Dynasty when the south moved, because of the size of the family was placed in Wujin, Jiangsu, and overseas Chinese placed in Lanling County, known as "South Lanling" in history, so it is still commensurate with Lanling Xiao, for the Southern Dynasty "four overseas Chinese hope", expensive indescribable.

Lanling Xiao family as early as the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has been the world's door valve, since then, until the end of the Tang Dynasty five dynasties and ten kingdoms before the world family declined, can be described as a stretch of the Middle Ages of the millennium family, the top door valve.

After the Lanling Xiao clan moved south, there were three more famous branches, namely Xiao Sihua, Xiao Daocheng, and Xiao Yan.

This Xiao Mansion comes from Xiao Yan's lineage, Xiao Yan and Xiao Daocheng are both from Xiao Cheng, Xiao Quan's son Xiao Zhi, Xiao Yan's ancestor, once served as Jiyin Taishou. Xiao Yan's great-grandfather and deputy son, he was engaged in state governance. Grandfather Daoci, served as the secretary of Nantai Zhishu Yushi, his father Shunzhi, was the first brother of Emperor Qi Gao, won deep trust, and successively served as a servant, Weiwei, Prince Zhan Shi, Danyang Yin and other positions. Xiao Yan is very literate, he is one of the eight friends of the Liangxi Mansion of the Prince of Qi Jingling, and later became an official to the history of Yongzhou Assassin, mastering heavy soldiers. In the chaos at the end of Qi, Dai Qi became self-reliant and established the Liang Dynasty for Emperor Wu of Liang. Xiao Yan reigned for 48 years, and after Hou Jing captured Taicheng, he died of starvation and illness. Hou Jingli Xiao Yan's third son, Xiao Gang, was the emperor (i.e., Emperor Jianwen) as a puppet. Later, Xiao Dong, the son of Xiao Huan, the eldest grandson of Xiao Yan, was renamed as the emperor. Soon after, Hou Jing killed Emperor Jianwen Xiao Gang and more than 10 of his sons. Many others in the Liang clan were also killed. After the Hou Jing Rebellion was put down, Xiao Yi, the seventh son of Emperor Wu of Liang, became the emperor (i.e., Emperor Yuan of Liang) and made Jiangling the capital, but it was destroyed by the Western Wei regime three years later. The Western Wei Dynasty also supported Xiao Du, the third son of Prince Zhaoming, as Emperor Liang, and was called Later Liang in history. At this time, the Liang generals Chen Baxian and Wang Sengbi, who had raised troops to fight against Hou Jing, supported Xiao Fangzhi, the son of Emperor Liang Yuan, as the emperor (Emperor Jing) in Jiankang, and soon were abolished by Chen Baxian, who was self-reliant, and the Liang Dynasty perished.

Judging from the situation at that time, Xiao Yan's clan suffered great losses in the internal struggle of the imperial family and the Hou Jing Rebellion, but after the establishment of the Chen Dynasty, most of them remained in the Chen Dynasty and were still the A clan, but there were no too well-known people.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Xiao clan was still active in the political arena, which mainly referred to the Xiao Yan force. There are as many as 23 people in this branch in the "Book of Sui" and the new and old "Book of Tang", of which 4 are the descendants of the Xiao Yan brothers. The remaining 19 are all descendants of Xiao Yan's grandson, the Later Liang Emperor Xiao Jing (cha). Nine of the 19 are prime ministers. The reason why Xiao Jing's descendants developed and became strong in the Sui and Tang dynasties was because Xiao Jing's granddaughter was the Empress of Emperor Yang of Sui. By the time of the Five Dynasties, the power of the Xiao family had declined significantly, and there were only two members of the family who entered the "History of the Five Dynasties", namely Xiao Qing, who was an official in the Later Liang Dynasty to Tongping Zhangshi; Xiao Yuan, the son of Xiao Qing, was an official to the secretary and supervisor in the Later Tang Dynasty. After the unification of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Lanling Xiao clan, as a scholar family, basically ceased to exist.

Therefore, Ouyang Xiu and Song Qi praised the Lanling Xiao family: "Fame and virtue look at each other, and Tang is prosperous and declining." The prosperity of the family is unprecedented". Xiao Liang's former minister, the famous poet Yu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, is credible, "faction Tianhuang, branch like wood", and the great writer Su Dongpo also praised "Shake the desire to be a well-dressed watch, and the success should be followed by the Eight Xiao".

Although the Lanling Xiao clan declined somewhat after the Northern Song Dynasty, the Xiao clan did not die, but entered a period of recuperation.

Of course, entering the recuperation does not mean that he has withdrawn from the court, but he is slowly laying out in the court, with a profound background, each generation of the Xiao family has children entering the court, although they have not entered the center of the court, but they are also rising steadily.

Of course, this is also what everyone realized after the Xiao family entered a certain position in the court.

One day, the adults above the court suddenly discovered that there was a force that had quietly grown to a certain extent.

And this force was still so prominent.

As a result, the adults above the court had a certain understanding of the Xiao family, and then entered into wooing it, after all, there is such a thick and thin force, and everyone is eager to include it in their own lineage.

In this way, countless forces actually fought because of it.

When this force entered the eyes of the Ming Emperor, this force had already been subsumed into the forces of some ministers.

Of course, the Ming Emperor was extremely vigilant about it, after all, this force was extremely restless in the past history, and there were many heroes, and the Ming sent secret agents to observe this force at any time.

However, after several generations of observation, Xiao Jia'an is extremely divided, and there is no trace of mistakes, even if they are caught by those ministers, they are forced to helplessly, and gradually, after several generations, the Ming Dynasty's monitoring of them has gradually relaxed.

Of course, there is no such thing as a reassurance, there are still people who are monitoring it at any time, after all, it is impossible for anyone to be reassured of such a force.

By the time of this generation, the Xiao family actually sat in the Sipin Prefect's Mansion, of course, this is by virtue of the strength of the family, and what is even more unbelievable is that the Xiao Prefect actually married Xie Qian's niece, and now, the Xiao family's power has been further developed, and now, regardless of the government or the opposition, the Xiao family seems to have been expanded.

The detectives also further strengthened their surveillance, but they still didn't find anything wrong.

In this way, the Xiao family has always been under the surveillance of the Ming secret agent, but there is no wrong momentum.

And Xie Qian is also interested in this niece and son-in-law, and even more so, the Xiao family and Xiao Sa, a genius in Tianzhong, have already won the show as early as more than ten years old, but the Xiao family has been pressing, and did not let him participate in the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination, otherwise, I am afraid that this genius has already jumped to become the youngest Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty!

This Xiao Sa is even more deeply loved by Xie Qian, and he is even more worried about his marriage, if it weren't for Xiao Sa's repeated resignations, I'm afraid that this Xie Qian would have another niece and son-in-law!

Therefore, the Xiao family actually has a very powerful backer in the court---- Xie Qian.

However, even without this backer, the government and opposition forces formed by relying on the Xiao family for many generations are a little scary! Although the Xiao family has always been very low-key, these forces have no choice but to consider their subsequent rebound!

Therefore, Hongzhi was a little worried when he heard that he was going to search the Xiao Mansion, he was not afraid of the Xiao Mansion, but the follow-up impact was too great, if he didn't find the clues of the thief, he was afraid that those forces would be moved, and when the time came, it would be a little inappropriate!

"Are you sure those thieves really entered the Xiao Mansion?" Hongji looked up at Chen Zhun solemnly.

Chen Zhun looked at Mu Bin, and the two glanced at each other, looked at each other and nodded.

"Your Majesty, there is no mistake, all clues point to the Xiao Mansion!" Chen Zhun turned around and replied, "Although it is not certain that those thieves are related to the Xiao Mansion, there are people who are extremely consistent with the image of the Maitreya thieves who have hidden in the Xiao Mansion!" Now the subordinates are tightly besieging Xiao Mansion, but they dare not act rashly. It is precisely because of the importance of searching Xiao Mansion that Wei Chen and Commander Mu came to ask Your Majesty! ”

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing, the minister has to play!" Mu Bin next to him stepped forward and said with a positive color.

Oh! Hongji was stunned, is there anything else? couldn't help but look at Mu Bin.

"Your Majesty, in fact, now that Xie Ge Lao is a guest in Xiao Mansion, this is also a matter that Wei Chen and the others are more worried about!"

"Elder Xie Ge?" Hongzhi was stunned and looked at Mu Bin in confusion.

"Not bad!" Mu Bin smiled bitterly, "It's just because Xiao Sa has just returned to Beijing these days, and after Xie Ge Lao heard it, he wanted to go to the school to take the entrance examination for his studies, so "

The words were not finished, but Hongji understood.

Don't look at this Xiao Sa disobeyed Xie Qian and dismissed his son-in-law's kindness, but Xie Qian is more fond of this nephew who is dedicated to learning, and at the same time, he is more attentive to his studies, because he often summons him in the name of Xiao Sa's studies in the examination school, the names of the two are actually more like masters and apprentices, of course, there is no official title, but they are better!

Today's Xie Qian door-to-door exam correction shows the weight of Xiao Sa in his heart!

Originally, this search of the Xiao family was a headache, but now Xie Qian has joined in this excitement, if you can't find the thief, it's just that, if you find it, if the thief hurts Xie Gelao, Dongchang and Jinyiwei will be too guilty.

But if you can't find it, you will face Xie Qian's reproach, and it is really a dilemma!

No wonder these two guys sent this hot potato to themselves!

Thinking of this, Hongji couldn't help but stare at the two secret agents below.

Chen Zhun and Mu Bin would not give him a chance, the two of them were seriously bowing their heads and listening to his orders, and they didn't raise their heads.

These two guys! Hongji couldn't help but be angry and funny, and rolled his eyes helplessly!

Although the matter is tricky, the Xiao family's affairs will affect the changes in the power of the court, and even the Xie family's forces will intervene, and there will be some trouble.

However, the Maitreya Society is even more of a big problem for the Ming Dynasty, and the Maitreya Society thieves must not be allowed to go unpunished for these reasons, even if there is only a trace of clues pointing to the Xiao Mansion. After all, this time Maitreya will make frequent moves in Beijing, which has already angered Hongzhi, if Maitreya will be so rampant again, how will the Ming Dynasty rule the world? This Maitreya Society has always been committed to overthrowing the rule of the Ming Dynasty!

Although it has almost wiped out its power in Jingshi, if the first evil is not eliminated, this breath in Hongji's heart will not be smooth!

Hongzhi no longer looked at the two of them, picked up the pen, thought for a moment, brushed the brush, waved the big pen in a row, and then threw the large pen aside, took a small seal and solemnly printed it on the paper, and then looked up at Chen Zhun and Mu Bin, and ordered in a deep voice, "This investigation, you must be careful, don't let the thief go!" ”

"No!" Chen Zhun and Mu Bin looked up at Hongzhi, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, they didn't expect that His Majesty did not place this matter because he was afraid of Xie Ge Lao, but instead ordered to search the Xiao Mansion, this is really an unexpected surprise! Naturally, he was extremely cheerful in answering the promise.

"Don't disturb Elder Xie Ge!" Hongji hesitated for a moment and commanded again.

After all, he was also very jealous of Xie Ge Lao, and he was not willing to make enemies with Xie Ge Lao over this.

Chen Zhun and Mu Bin naturally knew the importance and went as promised.

"Elder Xie Ge, I hope you have nothing to do with the Maitreya Society!" Hongji looked at the backs of the two of them, his face was gloomy, and he whispered to himself.

"Your Majesty, you must not be kind to a woman, if this Xiao family is really involved in that matter, it must be eradicated! Even if Elder Xie Ge endorses them, they must not be soft-hearted! At this moment, a voice sounded in the dark.

"Hmm!" Hongji was not surprised, nodded slowly, and did not speak.

and the voices of the darkness fell silent, and were no longer spoken.

The Imperial Study is quiet.

"CITIC, CITIC!" A voice sounded in the Mingxuan Pavilion.

Immediately, a figure hurriedly walked up to the second floor and went straight to Zhao Mingxing's "ward".

With a squeak, the door of the "ward" opened, and Fauber appeared in front of the door, rushing to make a look of "shhh

The person who came was stunned, hurriedly stopped, stepped forward, and asked softly, "Fu Bo, CITIC hasn't woken up yet?" ”

Fu Bo nodded, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "The young master is too tired, and he has diagnosed and healed Mingxing again, and he just fell asleep!" Lord Shi, if it's not urgent, don't bother the young master! ”
