I don't know if the hookup between Emperor Yong'an and his princess when the king of Annan died.

If you don't know the truth when you die, then you won't be a fool.

The princess of Annan County lay down for a full moment, until the people outside thought that she had fallen asleep and there was no more sound, she suddenly opened her eyes, looked left and right, relaxed her movements, climbed to the end of the kang, uncovered the mattress and thin mat, and revealed the flat and neat kang surface.

She drew her short knife and plunged the sharp blade into the gap between the edge of the kang and the wall, and gently flicked it upward, and there was an indiscernible sound where the wall met the edge of the kang, and then there was a bulge on the wall.

She looked around warily, and gently pulled the bulge out, revealing a black hole.

The hole is the size of a fist, and the inside is unfathomable.

The princess of Annan County did not dare to light the lamp, for fear of alarming the people outside, so she only took advantage of the faint moonlight to look at the depths of the hole.

After a few glances, she still felt very uneasy, so she reached out and touched the hole, I don't know what she caught, rubbed it twice, and was obviously relieved, so she stuffed the bulge back, and touched the wall a few times, and the bulge wall quickly returned to normal.

She lay back slowly, her eyes slightly closed, not knowing what she was thinking.

Yao Qi hung upside down on the roof, carefully hiding her figure, in such a dangerous situation, she not only paid attention to hiding her tracks, but also distracted herself to peek at the movements of the princess of Annan County.

It's really, so exciting.

When it was approaching, it should have been silent and sleepy, but the front yard of the Han Mansion was brightly lit, and the secret guards poured out.

Han Changdui sat in the front hall, bent his fingers and tapped his knees, his expression was dark and difficult to discern.

A lamp illuminated the front hall as bright as day, and the shadow of the lamp swayed on his face, and his expression became more and more calm.

"Shizi, according to the confession, all the hiding places of Xie Sangongzi in the capital have been raided, and the people caught and the things copied out have been brought back, but Xie Sangongzi and Zhou Wuxian and others have not been found." Jin Yu opened the curtain and walked in, and before he could catch his breath, he hurriedly replied.

Han Changwan didn't expect to be able to arrest Xie Liangmu and his party tonight, but just wanted to use the unexpected thunder means to catch as many people as possible and bring back more physical evidence.

The more people who catch it, the more mouths he can pry open, so he is closer to the truth and Xie Liangmao's scheme.

He said lightly: "Send those people to a secret prison, interrogate them strictly, and after dawn, ask for confessions." ”

Jin Yu answered, turned around and was about to go out, but Han Changdui's voice came from behind him.

"Send six more secret guards outside the courtyard where Li Sheng lives to protect his safety." Han Changdui said coldly.

Jin Yu said yes with a solemn expression, very aware of the danger of this matter.

When Li Sheng confessed, Jin Yu was beside him, from the shock when he heard the first secret to the final numbness, he was already able to calmly face one secret thing after another that was enough to lose his head.

As for Li Sheng, Li Sheng confided so much today, every incident is a betrayal, although Xie Liangmao ran away, his lair was served in a pot, even if he had no brains, he could guess that Li Sheng betrayed him.

This kind of betrayal, a knife can be regarded as tolerance and generosity, and you have to cut it with a knife to vent the hatred in your heart!

It was a happy thing to serve Xie Liangmao's lair, arrest a lot of people, and search for a lot of physical evidence that had not had time to be destroyed, but Han Changdui did not relax at all.

But he didn't get caught up in Xie Liang's matter and thought about it, he was thinking about things next to him.

The water bandits in Qingyun Village have been sent to the Internal Security Department in batches for screening, while Zhao Yingrong and the four of them stayed in Han Mansion for the time being, and then moved out after finding a suitable place and livelihood in the capital, and the surviving girls who were rescued from Qingyun Village also destroyed their deeds, re-recorded their household registration, and sent a coil of entanglement, so that they could fend for themselves.

It stands to reason that as soon as he entered the Han Mansion, Han Changwan should carefully interrogate Zhao Yingrong and the others, but he chose to wait and see, just to see when Zhao Yingrong and the others would take the initiative to come back to Qingyunzhai with him.

Although taking the initiative to say it may not mean knowing everything and saying everything, he wants to give these people a chance and give himself a chance.

Of course, not only did he not interrogate Zhao Yingrong and the others, but even Dou Weiqi and Xue Shou were also left in prison, and when their minds were on the verge of collapse, interrogation would be twice the result with half the effort.

Also sleepless at night were Zhao Yingrong and the three of them, who had been waiting for Han Changdu's summons, but after today's summons, he only said the arrangements for them, but never mentioned the matter of Qingyunzhai, which made them panic.

It's like a knife hanging over your head, and it never falls, and I don't know when it will fall.

I'm scared all day long, and I get old very fast.

"Big brother, it's not a matter for us to wait like this, we can't just let the envoy not ask, let's just pretend that we don't know anything, it's better for us to go to the envoy ourselves and say, maybe the envoy listened, so he didn't get so angry, and let us go." Li Changming has been hit by the great changes in the past few days, and he has long been afraid of Han Changdu, seeing Han Changdu's attitude, he feels that people under the low eaves still have to be as respectful as they are.

Zhao Yingrong also nodded with palpitations: "I also think it's better to take the initiative, maybe the envoy is just waiting for us to confess." He turned his head to look at Zhao Fusheng: "Fusheng, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Fusheng weighed it for a long time, and finally made up his mind: "My son also feels that he should take the initiative to confess." ”

The matter was finalized, the three of them no longer hesitated, although the night was dark, but when they looked up, they could see that the main house in the distance was still brightly lit, Han Changdui obviously hadn't gone to bed yet, so the three of them politely asked the little guy in the yard to lead the way, and rushed to the main house in the front yard.

There are not many people living in the Han Mansion, only Han Changwan has one master, Qing Qian used to be half a master, but now she is charged with escaping from the concubine, and as soon as she enters the Han Mansion, she is detained in a remote courtyard, and there are people guarding outside, and she is not allowed to go out or see people.

There are few masters, and there are not many people to serve, and the maids and guards in the mansion add up, there are only fifteen or sixteen people, and the rest are all secret guards hidden in the dark, and the existence of these secret guards is only known to Han Changdui, Jin Yu and Meng Sui, and the others do not know.

Outsiders who don't know the details will only think that Han Changdui lives a simple life, and they will also think that he is so relieved about the security of Chang'an City, and there is not even a nursing home in the house.

Zhao Yingrong and the three of them walked all the way, and saw a few sparse subordinates, which made this already large mansion a kind of desolation, and he sighed: "This envoy was born in the Han Wangfu, how noble, but there are so few people serving in the mansion." ”

Li Changming looked around, and also felt very weird: "It's just simple, but why can't you even see a few guards in the courtyard, this envoy is so relieved that those Jin Wuwei who patrol the streets?" ”

Zhao Fusheng's eyes flashed, and he lowered his voice and said: "It's not that there are no guards in the courtyard, it's that they are all hiding in the dark, and the few places we passed by just now have the aura of hiding in the dark." He paused slightly, and said fearfully: "You can be sure that if the three of us have the slightest dishonesty, these people will definitely not show mercy." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yingrong and Li Changming looked at each other in astonishment.

The night wind was whining, and the canopy of the trees was soft, as if to confirm Zhao Fusheng's words, the sound was like human language for a while, and it was like the sound of breathing for a while.

Zhao Yingrong and Li Changming chuckled in their hearts, and they all had a thought.

The mansion of such a high-ranking person is really unfathomable, and it is definitely not something that they can snoop on with their recklessness.

As soon as Zhao Yingrong and the three of them left the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying, a secret guard told Han Changdui of the whereabouts of the three early.

Han Changdui saw Zhao Yingrong and the three of them walking together, and a faint smile finally appeared on his always cold face.

This opportunity was not wasted.

The empty front hall was extremely cold, only Han Changwan sat alone, and there was not even anyone waiting, in the bright lights, he raised his eyes to look at the three people who were a little apprehensive, raised his lips and smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yingrong's hearts beat like drums, and they were inexplicably a little weak. The thought of hiding something disappeared in an instant.

Zhao Yingrong and the three of them bowed tremblingly.

Han Changdui raised his hand with a faint expression, not as warm as the next day, but a little indifferent.

Zhao Yingrong chuckled in his heart, not knowing if his hesitation had provoked Han Changdu, so he hurriedly stepped forward and clarified: "The envoy, the villain, etc., have something to explain." ”

Han Changdui raised his eyebrows and let out a soft "oh", and the tail note was high, as if he was very surprised: "I don't know what it is, it's worth not sleeping in the middle of the night?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yingrong and the three of them blushed, and they were all a little ashamed, Han Changdui was really waiting for them to take the initiative to tell each other, but they were a little late to figure it out.

Since you have already offended someone, it is useless to regret it, so it is better to do something quickly to make up for it.

Zhao Fusheng hurriedly stepped forward, leaned over and said respectfully: "It's not that the villain and others deliberately conceal it, it's true, it's really that those things are complicated, and the villain and others don't know where to start." ”

Han Changwan glanced at Zhao Fusheng lightly: "Let's start from the beginning." ”

Zhao Fusheng's sweat fell suddenly, and he said, "Yes, yes." ”

Li Changming heard that Han Changwei didn't mean to blame, but if they continued to cover it up, they really didn't know what to do, so he also stepped forward and stabbed Zhao Yingrong with his elbow: "Big brother, let's start from the beginning, no matter how big or small, as long as it is related to the village, say it." ”

Han Changwan glanced at Li Changming again, it was really rare, it was rare that there was still someone in Qingyun Village who understood.

He nodded and softened his attitude: "Sit down and say." ”

How dare Zhao Yingrong and the three of them really sit down solidly, and they only sat on a small half of the Hu bed and glanced at each other.

Zhao Yingrong coughed lightly, and was the first to speak: "My lord, the origin of Qingyun Village, my lord thinks that he has already found out." ”

Han Changdui said lightly: "You say yes." ”

"Qingyun Village has been around for nearly two hundred years, and it was only on the boat to make a living until a hundred years ago, when the second owner of Qingyun Village found that mountain in Dingyun Mountain and set up camp." Zhao Yingrong threw away the last trace of fantasy and said it word by word, but the words were extraordinarily high-sounding.

"The Sword Comes"

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows, a water bandit is a water bandit, what does it mean to make a living on a boat.

Zhao Yingrong also felt that he was too eager to cover up, and said with a smile: "Qingyun Village has established the gate of the village in Dingyun Mountain, and it has become more and more prosperous, and there are more and more people in the village, and even the villagers under the mountain have many defectors. ”

Han Changdui nodded when he heard this, and when he was on the mountain, he also saw the bustling and crowded scene in Qingyun Village.

Zhao Yingrong continued: "The villain is the son-in-law of the third owner of Qingyun Village, and after the death of his father-in-law, the villain took over the position of the owner of the village. ”

These details are what Han Changwan already knows, and what he wants to hear is not these, but he knows that Zhao Yingrong's later words may be difficult to speak, so he uses these things that can be inquired about as long as he cares about them as an introduction.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and listened quietly, he wanted to see where these three people could go around.

Sure enough, seeing that Han Changdui was unhurried and had no intention of asking at all, Zhao Yingrong himself panicked first, a little impatient, and smiled awkwardly: "The villain said that he was far away." Han Changdu's face was clearly very peaceful, but Zhao Yingrong was still inexplicably afraid, and unconsciously, a fine and dense cold sweat appeared on his forehead, he raised his hand to wipe it, and continued: "Seven years ago, Dingyun Mountain suddenly collapsed, and several mountains collapsed into cliffs. ”

Han Changdui suddenly realized: "Xue Shou is the Taoist leader, he is the Qingyun Village seven years ago?" ”

Zhao Yingrong nodded heavily: "That's right, after a Dharma event was done, Xue Shou won the trust of the villain's father-in-law, as if he became the guest of his father-in-law, and then stayed in Qingyun Village, on the surface, he was a teacher, but many things in the cottage were indispensable for his advice," he paused slightly, hiding his anxiety: "The villain reads few books, sometimes many things are not thoughtful enough, Xue Shou is different, he is a literate and hyphenated, and there is Taoism in his body, his father-in-law and villain are very dependent on him, five years ago, Xue Shou went down the mountain, and when he came back, he suddenly said to the villain that someone in the court wanted to negotiate a two-benefit deal with Qingyunzhai. ”

"Oh, what deal?" Han Changdu's heart froze, but his face did not show anything, and he still asked questions with a faint expression.

Zhao Yingrong said: "That is, at the end of April every year, Qingyunzhai buys a batch of girls who are about fifteen or sixteen years old and have not left the cabinet and send them to the capital. As he spoke, he swallowed his saliva, and a question arose in his heart, if it weren't for the girls who suddenly became chaotic that night, if it weren't for Han Changdui and his party who also sneaked into Qingyun Village, then after the girls were sent out, what would happen to Qingyun Village and the people in the village, he had never thought about it carefully, but now that he had settled down, he thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that those Yulin soldiers were here to unload the mill and kill the donkey.

Settle into a military household, let alone eight or nine hundred people in Qingyun Village, all of whom are settled in a military household, which is not an easy thing!

Han Changdu's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he was puzzled, and his eyebrows frowned slightly: "Do you know who is trading with Qingyunzhai?" ”

Zhao Yingrong shook his head: "These things are all Xue Shou in Zhang Luo, the villain has never seen the so-called people in the court, but," he paused slightly: "Since Qingyunzhai responded to this matter five years ago and sent the first batch of girls over, the officers and soldiers who came to attack every once in a while have all withdrawn, and they have not come again in five years." ”

As he said this, he believed more and more in his heart that the Yulin soldiers who suddenly appeared around Qingyun Village that night to bury saltpeter tubes were the ones who went to unload the mill and kill the donkey!

He grinded his teeth secretly, and he couldn't deal with these officials with eighty hearts and eyes in the future, and he couldn't see the king of Hades in a daze.

Hearing Zhao Yingrong say that no officers and soldiers would attack Qingyun Village within five years, his heart was secretly surging, what kind of person is it, not only dare to promise such a major event as Qingyun Village's military household, but also control the movement of officers and soldiers, this person must not be an ordinary courtier, or it should not be a person who controls Qingyun Village, but a group of people.

This group of people bewitched Zhao Yingrong and asked him to collect thousands of girls for five consecutive years to send them to Beijing, the whereabouts of these girls are unknown, and their lives and deaths are unknown, and five years later, Qingyunzhai is useless, and this group of people abandoned it like a shoe, annihilated the entire Qingyunzhai, and killed people.

Such a ruthless style also involved the Yulin Army, Han Changdu's heart couldn't help but chill, even if he had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, it was also a battle with a knife and a gun, and such a practice of destroying people at every turn and oppressing the people at will was really unheard of and unseen.

Thinking of this, Han Changdu's face became more and more unkind, and he asked in a deep voice: "The big boss has never seen the person in the court, so do you know who the person in the court is?" ”

Zhao Yingrong shook his head blankly: "The villain doesn't know." ”

This unaware, ramming appearance, made Han Changwan laugh angrily, and he sneered: "The big boss really trusts Xue Shou, you will listen to whatever he says, and the net worth and lives of hundreds of people in Qingyun Village will be pressed on him." ”

Zhao Yingrong was ashamed of what Han Changdui said and lowered his head.

Zhao Fusheng also panicked, he knew that his father had always been a solid eye, but he didn't expect that the solid eye was so powerful, he was stupid, it had been five years, this matter had been open for five years, and his father didn't even know who was behind the scenes.

He shouted eagerly: "Dad, every time my son asks you, you say that you know this matter in your heart, and this is how you have it?" ”

Zhao Yingrong's face flushed and he was silent.

It wasn't until this time that he realized how serious this matter was, and it was not surprising that it was so serious that it would be destroyed.

Li Changming until Zhao Yingrong was honest, he was afraid that he would blame himself too much for this matter, so he drilled the tip of the horns, and hurriedly made up for it: "It's okay, aren't all the people in our Qingyunzhai good, can enter the Internal Security Division, can be a good citizen seriously, no more than a hundred times stronger than any military household, big brother, we can also be regarded as a crooked fight, thanks to the blessing of the envoy." ”

Zhao Yingrong's heart was a little relieved, and he suddenly remembered something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said urgently: "Adult, villain, villain remembered, Xue Shou, when Xue Shou went down the mountain to meet the person in the court, he brought a kid, and the kid came back and said that he overheard Xue Shou call that person Lord Changshi!" ”

"Lord Changshi!" Han Changdu's heart jumped, and he exclaimed, Changshi is not an official with too high a high official position, all of them have a long history of protecting the government, the governor's mansion, the general, and the state capital, and the only government office with a long history in the capital is the prince's mansion!

The saint's heirs are prosperous, and there are as many as eleven princes who grew up safely, and there are five princes who have become their own emperors, but fortunately, not many of the saint's brothers have survived, and there are no princes, and the remaining few county princes are not qualified to set up a long history, so the long history that Xue Shou met can only come from these five princes' mansions.

He calmed down for a few breaths and asked lightly, "Where is that kid?" I want to see him! ”

Zhao Yingrong's heart became more and more empty, and he said: "He, that is, once in the river, at that time, died." ”

Han Changdui frowned, blocking the road and robbing is naturally dangerous, and dead people are also common, but how could it be so coincidental, but the water bandit who heard the words "long history" died.

He was depressed, and it seemed that he could only pry open Xue Shou's mouth to know which prince's mansion was the long history.

Seeing that Han Changwan was silent, Li Changming's heart suddenly shuddered, and he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Lord Envoy, when the eldest brother mentioned this, the villain also remembered something. ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" ”

Li Changming pondered for a moment: "It's about three," his face darkened, and he hurriedly changed his words: "Dou Weiqi, it's about Dou Weiqi." He sighed with pity, mourning their brotherhood that could not be remembered: "In the past two years, Dou Weiqi will go down the mountain every other month, the villain thought that he raised someone under the mountain, and laughed at him a few times, but he didn't admit it or deny it, and the villain never saw him buy anything for women to send over, so he became curious, and sent someone to follow him all the way, who knew that he actually entered Chang'an City, the first time he followed Yiyangfang and lost, the second time he followed Daye Fang and lost, the third time he lost it in Guiyifang, Later, I followed a few times, but they all disappeared as soon as they entered the city, the villain felt that he was thinking wrong, Dou Weiqi didn't raise anyone, he went into the city to do something, so he didn't think deeply, but now that he thinks about it, it is very strange, the villain was frightened, and he didn't think about it enough at the time, and he didn't study it deeply. ”

Han Changwan listened to those few lifangs, and felt very familiar, as if he had just heard them, and after a moment of silence, he hurriedly took Li Sheng's confession stacked next to him, and looked through the pages one by one.

Finally, these lifangs were found in the confession.

It turned out that there were Xie Liangmao's manpower in these few squares, which used to be the branch altar of the Four Holy Sects, and now it is Xie Liangmao's rudder.

According to Li Sheng, Du Feng, who jumped off the cliff with Xie Mengxia in his arms, is Xie Liangmao's confidant, although his surname is Du, he is Li Sheng's own nephew, and he changed his name and surname just to hide his identity, Li Sheng trusts him very much and never guards against him, but he didn't expect it to be his own nephew who poisoned him.
