Then, Jiang Si and Xu Jing walked out of the house together.

For a moment, I saw an unknown number of corpses lying around in this square courtyard. Under the lit candlelight, the smell of blood lingered.

Xu Jing and Jiang Si were both people they had met in passing. Otherwise, this scene would have been unbearably disgusting for an ordinary person.

The two of them didn't pay much attention, but they both respectfully and politely called Feng Ying, "Commander Feng".

Feng Ying saw the two people walking over. With his rank as the commander of the imperial army, he didn't need to salute them, so he just responded as usual.

Jiang Si spoke first and said, "Tonight we have Commander-in-Chief Lao Feng."

Feng Ying looked around. Before he led the imperial army to arrive, there was already a fierce battle. He said quietly: "You two are working in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Master Zheng must be very considerate of the two adults, not to mention the two. Due to my status, I have my own bodyguards around me. I came just to send out the signal flare just now. The imperial army guards the safety of Kyoto. If anyone dares to cause trouble in the capital, that will never be allowed."

Xu Jing said with a smile: "Commander Feng has done his duty. Although our people can protect us, they are obviously well prepared. If Commander Feng does not show up, even if the matter is really over, it will not affect us." In other words, we must have suffered heavy losses, and we will naturally keep the kindness of Commander Feng in our hearts."

Seeing this, Jiang Si echoed Xu Jing's words and said: "What Mr. Xu said is absolutely true. Commander Feng has fulfilled his duties. It is natural for us to express our gratitude to Commander Feng. There is no conflict between the two."

When Feng Ying saw what they said, he did not go into further discussion of these words. He only said: "Everything that needs to be cleared has been dealt with. I think there won't be any more problems tonight, and these forbidden troops will stay outside." , you two can rest peacefully."

Xu Jing responded and said: "Commander Feng is right, you should have a good rest. This time, the Yushitai has been ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the matters of the Yushitai. It has been concluded. It will be reported to the emperor tomorrow morning. It will be available tonight." Keep your spirits up so that you can be in a better state of mind tomorrow morning and present the results of the investigation to the Ministry of Household Affairs to the Emperor in front of all the officials."

Feng Ying: "You two, have a good rest. I will ask people to clean up these corpses."

Jiang Si glanced over and said in a somewhat tentative tone: "It's so good. I don't know who is controlling these dead soldiers and killers behind the scenes. It's a pity that not a single person was left alive."

Feng Ying: "Death warriors are trained, and their lives no longer belong to them. If the mission is not completed, they will take their own lives."

Xu Jing immediately said: "No one knows what Commander Feng is capable of. What Mr. Jiang said just now is not because of Commander Feng. These dead soldiers have poison hidden in their mouths. There is no way they will let themselves be captured alive by their opponents." , if the situation is not good, he will take poison and commit suicide on the spot. We all just want to know who is behind the assassination, and Mr. Jiang and I must die."

Jiang Si's original intention was to test. Feng Ying is the commander of the imperial army and can be said to be the closest person to the emperor. Through this, he can find out from Feng Ying how the emperor views this matter. He immediately said: "Commander Feng, don't get me wrong, Master Xu said exactly what I thought."

Feng Ying glanced at the two people in front of him. Xu Jing and Jiang Si were the most important people under Zheng Yi. They were following Zheng Yi. This matter was aimed at the Prime Minister. How could they not know it? Who wants to assassinate them at this critical moment? To put it this way, they just want to find out the emperor's thoughts from here.

"Don't worry, I won't take this matter to heart. It is indeed extremely difficult for people like dead soldiers to be left alive. Even if they are left alive, it will be difficult to pry open their mouths and get valuable things. The most important thing for you two is not to care about these things, but to report to the emperor tomorrow morning the Ministry of Household Affairs. You two are the imperial officials, and they are ordered to verify that there are forbidden troops in the capital, so they will be safe and sound."

Xu Jing and Jiang Si smiled and responded in unison: "That's what Commander Feng said."

Feng Ying: "It's getting late, you two should go inside and rest first."

Xu Jing: "Okay, then I won't disturb Commander Feng."

Jiang Si also said goodbye and went back to the house with Xu Jing.

Feng Ying looked at the two people who entered the room and ordered his men to deal with everything here as soon as possible.

Of course, even if he knew that it was impossible for the Prime Minister to send anyone else tonight, except for the original imperial army guarding the household, Feng Ying did not leave.

This end, inside the house.

Xu Jing said to Jiang Si: "What you said just now was too careless."

Jiang Si said: "I didn't do it intentionally, I just wanted to get a taste of Feng Ying's mouth."

Xu Jing: "Fortunately, he didn't take it seriously."

Jiang Si: "In your opinion, what do you think the emperor is thinking?"

Xu Jing: "Fengying will appear here in person. What do you think the emperor is thinking?"

Jiang Si instantly understood that the emperor was always paying attention to their situation at Yushitai, and Feng Ying would appear here. It can be seen that the emperor had long thought that the prime minister would definitely take action. From this, it can be concluded that the emperor had long been on guard against this. One level up.

While thinking about it, Jiang Si looked at Xu Jing and asked: "Speaking of which, after the last incident involving the Yang family came out, the emperor directly arranged for someone to take over Yang Shen's position and became the new Minister of Rites to take charge. Regarding the affairs of the Ministry of Etiquette, when this incident came out, the Emperor gave full power to our Yushitai from the beginning. Your Excellency also has some considerations. Do you think that the person who wants to be placed in the Ministry of Households can be replaced smoothly? Su Yu?"

Xu Jing thoughtfully said, "After all our verifications, Su Yu left the Yushitai and wanted to continue to be his Minister of Household Affairs. That is absolutely impossible. If things don't happen tonight, there will be no chance for Wang Xiang." I can't protect Su Yu. Your Excellency has already polished up a suitable candidate when you started this matter. We all know that person and he is from the Hanlin Academy. If Your Excellency recommends this person to the emperor, the Emperor must not be so wary of him. .”

Jiang Si nodded, "No, the newly appointed Minister of Rites, He Xun, is from the Hanlin Academy."

Xu Jing said slowly: "Okay, tonight's matter has settled down. There are forbidden troops outside, so there is no chance of any more movement. Let's just take a good rest and recuperate."

Jiang Si said: "This matter is finalized. There is no room for maneuver at all. The evidence is conclusive. It is impossible for Su Yu to choose him cleanly. This matter can be settled without spending any more energy."

The two of them didn't say anything more. They got ready and took a rest.
