Ye Qingyan glanced at him first: "Before that, why don't you tell me why you changed your mind? Could it be that the king really doesn't intend to punish Gao Falcon? This is an evil spirit. If the evil spirit succeeds, it will be harmful to the whole Zou. The city will be a disaster."

The chief executive did not expect that Master Ye was so smart, he could see the key to the problem at a glance, the reason why he made up his mind was because he was afraid that the king would not be able to handle the queen.

"The servants of our family are willing and powerless, and can't be the master of the master. Our family has been serving in the imperial study all morning. Before we came to deliver the master's meal, the empress and His Royal Highness came... The empress and the king seemed to be the master. There has been a dispute, I'm afraid it will not be easy to handle." The chief executive sighed, feeling a headache.

Ye Qingyan frowned: "Your Majesty doesn't seem like a ruler who doesn't care about the people of Zoucheng. How can a nephew be compared with tens of thousands of people in Zoucheng?"

The chief steward gritted his teeth: "The master doesn't know something. Ever since the expert set up a ban on the palace gate 30 years ago, the king has never stepped out of the palace gate since then. Although the king has trained countless dead men under his command, but these years The family is dominant, and Queen Gao holds a high position. Although Lord Gao is only a Lord, he is the elder brother of the empress. Naturally, the status in the court can be imagined. The most important point is that the prince is not born of the empress and the king. The prince has no blood relationship with the Gao family, so naturally he will not treat the prince sincerely, and the empress has always favored the second son of Gao, because the king owed favors to the Gao family back then, he has been quite tolerant to the Gao family these years, this matter is really difficult to handle."

But Ye Qingyan heard the key from it, and was very surprised, squinting his eyes: "Isn't the prince born by the king and the queen? Does the king have any heirs?"

Otherwise, even if Queen Gao has nothing to do, and the concubine has a prince, it will not be possible to make a prince who is not his own.

The chief manager originally thought that the people in Zoucheng knew about this, but he didn't expect this master to be unaware.

He thought for a while before admitting Ye Qingyan's question: "His Royal Highness is indeed not from the two masters. The king injured his body in the early years. The ban was not only to prevent evil spirits from entering the palace gate, but also to save the king's life." Not only that, the reason why the king ascended the throne at the beginning was because the Gao family had made great contributions to the dragon, and later the king asked the Gao family what reward they wanted, and the Gao family said that they wanted the daughter of the Gao family to enter the palace as the queen."

"The king did not agree at that time, but told his situation one by one, including that he would not have any heirs in the future. After hearing this, the Gao family still insisted on it. Therefore, the king finally established a queen and promised to the Gao family. Glory, I have also decided to choose a royal child of the right age from the ancestral hall to be the heir apparent in the future."

"It is precisely because of the king's hidden illness that the king does not have any concubines in the harem, and naturally he has no heirs."

Ye Qingyan was quite surprised after hearing this. He just came to Zoucheng not long ago, and he had to deal with the affairs of Cao Yunran and the Li family. Naturally, he didn't have the time to understand these royal secrets, but he didn't expect that the prince was not the king of Zou. out.

He had seen that King Zou was indeed weak, but he didn't seem to be in danger of his life, he didn't expect that this kind of hidden disease was left behind.

The chief manager had no idea. Now that he had opened his mouth, it was much easier to say the rest: "Before our family came, the queen and His Royal Highness the crown prince were in the imperial study. It should be the king who mentioned the matter of the second son Gao. It is estimated that this matter It was really concealed by the queen's handwriting, so the king and the queen had a dispute, and our family does not know the details behind it."

Ye Qingyan frowned: It seems that this matter is really not easy to handle. It is indeed possible that Queen Gao will also be involved because of the fact that Gao Sun and the two dead men wanted to cover up and deal with it so cleanly.

Comparing some outsiders with her most beloved nephew, I am afraid that in the eyes of Queen Gao, these people are not as good as a Gao Falcon.

From what the chief executive said, it seems that the Gao family knew that the king had a hidden illness and sent Queen Gao into the palace. King Zou probably felt that he was ashamed of Queen Gao, so he gave in everywhere. If Gao Fal was really let go...

Ye Qingyan's eyes darkened: "What happened to the side hall that was banned? The head steward also saw it. If the king is really persuaded by the queen, what will happen to the whole palace when it's over? I'm afraid no one will know." Maybe, Pindao needs to know more to prevent the gaffe from getting worse."

The head steward was also afraid of this, so he gritted his teeth and didn't hide it: "The palace is sealed... the remains of the general."

"What?" Ye Qingyan frowned, "General Bu? Who is this? What enmity does he have with the king? Why did the king seal his remains in the palace?"

The chief executive shook his head: "There should be no enmity. The general Bu... made a lot of contributions to Zou Guo back then. Even when the king came back safely, he could not do without the escort of the general. The general has been the king's relative since he was young. Then, it was the king who promoted the general step up. It was the king's left and right hand, but later, for some reason, the general step was seriously injured and brought back together. It was the last battle. Although he won the battle, he also suffered heavy losses. The general was seriously injured and died. Although the king saved his life, he suffered from a hidden illness. At that time, he caught up with the king's uncle to force the palace. After all the dust settled, the general returned as a ghost for some reason..."

Ye Qingyan always felt that there was an unknown secret hidden in it: "How can a good person turn into a ghost?"

"Our family doesn't know about this. We only know that many people saw Li Gui taking their lives. Many palace officials died at that time. Our family also saw it with our own eyes. At that time, Li Gui was covered in blood. How could he have the demeanor of a half-step general when he was alive? Stretching towards the king with bloody fingers, it gave our family a look that the other party wanted to tear the king to pieces..."

Even after so many years, remembering that scene back then, the head manager still feels that the blood all over his body will flow backwards.

Similarly, it was precisely because he softened his hands and feet at that time but still stood in front of the king, so that the king remembered his loyalty, so that he stayed by the king's side all these years without changing anyone.

"What happened afterwards?" Ye Qingyan saw that his expression didn't seem to be fake, and he was afraid that the situation at that time would only get worse.

The chief manager's expression softened a little: "Fortunately, the Gao family brought a Taoist expert who rushed to seal the ghost in time, and set the same ban on the palace gate and the side hall, and finally this matter was resolved. Later, the ghost The matter was suppressed by the king, and few people knew about it."

It's just the same, that side hall has also become a taboo place, no one is allowed to lift the ban, this one will last for thirty years.

Ye Qingyan always felt that this matter was quite weird. According to what the chief officer said, this infantry general was a good hand at beheading the enemy. He even saved the king's life several times and brought him back from the dead.

The two knew each other when they were young, one had the kindness to know him, and the other had the kindness to save his life, so the last one died and the other one was injured, and even in the end they would rather turn into ghosts and seek the king's life.

I am afraid that there is something inhumane in it.

Ye Qingyan still wanted to ask something else, but a voice suddenly came from outside the hall: "Chairman, Your Majesty asked the servants to come over and let you know that your Majesty wants to see Master Ye, and asked the Chief Steward to quickly take Master Ye to the imperial study." .”

The chief executive did not expect the king to issue such an order at this juncture, thinking that it might have something to do with the queen. Could it be that the king wants Master Ye to persuade the queen?

Thinking about the amulet, the head steward couldn't help reminding in a low voice: "Although the queen knew about the king's situation and willingly entered the palace to stabilize the foundation of the Gao family, the king felt sorry for the queen in his heart, and felt that since he decided to marry She, however, can only let her be trapped in the harem for thirty years just like him, so although the Gao family has repeatedly shown disobedience over the years, the king is tolerant because of the queen, and even made a promise to the queen back then. Everything has to do with the Gao family, to make the king like this, our family is afraid of the queen... I am afraid that we used that promise."

The king has always kept his promises, if the queen really uses this promise to save the life of the second son of Gao.

Ye Qingyan had the bottom line in his mind, it seemed that he had made the right bet, the king really wanted to punish Gao Falcon, but he was stopped by the queen with that promise, he couldn't break his oath, but he didn't want to let Gao Falcon go, so this Do you want him to persuade the queen in the past?

Ye Qingyan was calm after thinking about all this, treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Before leaving, Ye Qingyan handed over a talisman according to the previous promise: "This is the amulet that I promised the chief executive before. As long as you carry the amulet with you, even an evil spirit can block its attack once."

The big manager is overjoyed, thank you, one time is enough.

Probably because of his gratitude to Ye Qingyan, the chief executive thought about it, and on the way to the imperial study, he still couldn't help lowering his voice, and reminded him with a voice that only two people could hear: "Master Ye, the queen attaches great importance to the second son of Gao, and the outside world only says The queen loves this nephew, but in fact it is even worse. Even when she married the second son Gao, she wished to let the entire noble daughter of the Zou family go to him. It would be very difficult to get the second son Gao to confess. It is also easy to offend the Gao family."

Ye Qingyan understood what the chief executive meant, the queen was not allowed to leave the palace, his hands were not so long after leaving the palace, but the Gao family was outside.

Queen Gao cared so much about Gao Falcon, if Ye Qingyan killed Gao Falcon, Queen Gao might let the Gao family kill him.

Ye Qingyan smiled, her expression was quite calm, which made the chief manager feel that this master was even more unpredictable, could there be other skills?

The reason why Ye Qingyan is not worried is because Gao Falcon died, and after the truth came out, Cao Yunran's mortal grievances would be considered completed once he was relieved of his grievances. When he leaves the virtual world, this place will turn into nothingness. Could it be possible to go to the real world to kill him? ?

In order to show Ye Qingyan's goodwill, the chief manager said a lot about Queen Gao along the way, and the others were fine, most of them were related to the second son of Gao, and the more he listened, the more strange Ye Qingyan felt.

It is understandable that Queen Gao has no heirs to value her nephew, but the strange thing is that the only nephew that Queen Gao cares about is the second son Gao.

For Lord Gao's eldest son, the eldest son, and other heirs, whether they are concubines or legitimate sons, they seem to have nothing to do with Queen Gao. Even every year on the birthday of the second son of Gao, Queen Gao will personally send a rather precious birthday gift present.

If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't leave the palace, Queen Gao would have wished to be there in person to celebrate Gao Er's birthday.

In recent years, there have been many rumors inside and outside the palace. Most of them think that the second year of high school is lucky, and the eldest son Gao Shizi is born of the same mother, or even twins, but the second son has won the queen's favor. Even if he is not the eldest son, he is more favored than the eldest son. .

It's a pity that the sophomore in high school was raised to have a surly temper. He probably felt that he was superior to others since he was a child, and he felt that the position of the son must be in his pocket, but in the end he still felt uncomfortable when he was taken by his elder brother, which made him more violent and merciless.

Ye Qingyan was expressionless along the way, as if he was just listening casually, but when he was about to reach the imperial study, Ye Qingyan suddenly asked inexplicably: "How old is the second son?"

Although the chief executive said it was strange, he replied honestly: "I just arrived in my thirties."

That was 30 years old. Ye Qingyan didn't think much about it at the beginning. From what he found out from the original body, he only knew that the second son of high school played well with Mr. Zheng and Mr. Sun. Mr. Zheng is in his twenties this year, and Mr. Sun is even older. Not much, because he preconceived that the second son of high school should also be in his twenties, but if the second year of high school is already thirty, the age is really a bit subtle.

"Queen Gao entered the palace in 30 years, right?" Ye Qingyan finally asked.

The chief executive remembers this most clearly: "That's right. Not long after the king ascended the throne, the Gao family used meritorious service to exchange the Gao family's daughter into the palace. Not long after that, the ghost thing happened... Our family remembers it very well. clear."

Ye Qingyan smiled inexplicably, he found that he seemed to have discovered a big secret.

And this secret is enough to make Queen Gao dare not keep Gao Falcon anymore, and even the promise that King Zou made to Queen Gao because of guilt will be broken at the same time.

Gao Falcon's life, he is bound to win.

When the group arrived at the Imperial Study Room, they watched Feng Huan stop from a distance, many palace officials were waiting there, and the scene was quite grand.

Ye Qingyan passed by the crowd expressionlessly, and followed the Chief Manager to the front.

The chief executive knocked on the door of the imperial study, and after a while, there was a voice letting them in.

Ye Qingyan stepped into this imperial study room again, her expression was still expressionless, and her expression didn't even change from the beginning to the end. As soon as she stepped in, she saw that there were two more people in the imperial study room.

One person was dressed in a palace costume and had exquisite eyebrows and eyes. He was probably not in a depressed mood at the moment. He stared at Ye Qingyan with a calm face, and his eyes were full of indifference, as if he wanted to kill Ye Qingyan.

The other person was wearing the crown prince's court clothes. He was not very old, in his twenties. He stood there with his back straight, showing a bit of elegance, and his face was a little bit like that of King Zou. He was selected from the royal ancestral hall of the Zou family. In other words, it even brought a little sickness.

Ye Qingyan performed a Taoist salute, as if he had seen the queen and the prince.

Queen Gao was dissatisfied, and seeing that she was about to make trouble, King Zou said, "Master Ye is here to give you a seat."

King Zou gave the seat himself, and Ye Qingyan calmly bypassed Queen Gao and the prince, and sat not far away. He had a straight back, a handsome face, an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, but cold eyes, giving people a sense of immortality. bone illusion.

Mingming is so young...

Queen Gao's complexion is not very good-looking, although she can't get it from other places, she doesn't plan to let Ye Qingyan go in other places. This Taoist priest is so brave that he dares to ask the king to punish Falcon?Isn't it just a few lowly grassroots people, if they are killed, they will be killed. How can they be compared with her precious falcon?

King Zou had already restrained himself in front of outsiders, and gave Empress Gao a bit of a slap in the face: "Master Ye, I asked someone to check Cao Yunran's whereabouts in the past two years. , was not present at the time of the incident, but the queen did not believe it, saying that there were two murderers, Cao Yunran indeed killed seventeen members of the Wu family, as for the first one, the murderer was someone else, but it was not Gao. Falcon."

When mentioning Gao Falcon, King Zou's tone became a bit impatient. If Gao Falcon was only regarded as a junior in the past, because Queen Gao had said a lot of good things about Gao Falcon in front of him, he would also favor this junior, but Who knew that such a beast could be raised.

Judging from the inquired news, Gao Falcon is very likely to be the murderer.

Queen Gao and the crown prince have also taken their seats at the moment, opposite Ye Qingyan.

Queen Gao raised her chin slightly and looked at him with disdain in her eyes: "Since this Master Ye said that Cao Yunran was innocent, but when Cao Yunran was caught that day, he was holding a knife in his hand. All seven of them are dead, and there is no proof of death. How can you still call people to say that they were not killed by Cao Yunran? Or can Master Ye find evidence to prove that he did not kill anyone? Could it be that Master Ye took money from the Cao family? Did you deliberately frame my nephew to plead Cao Yunran's innocence?"

Queen Gao wanted to pull Ye Qingyan to the dignified Taoist priest who received money, so what if she had the ability?As long as he passed the level of the king first, let the king release the Taoist priest from the palace first, and when he left the palace, the dead soldiers sent by the Gao family were already waiting to take his head.

Queen Gao didn't believe that she had the king's promise, could the king insist on it?Without evidence, she would deny it, and as long as she denied it, no one could touch Falcon.

As for the evidence, the two dead men she assigned to Gao Falcon, even if they really forced a confession, they would never reveal anything.

She originally thought that this Master Ye would become angry after she finished speaking. As long as he retorted louder, she could beat him up with disrespect to the queen before expelling him from the palace. Who knew that the other party was not only angry, but even cold His smile didn't change.

Waiting for Queen Gao to frown more and more, Ye Qingyan nodded calmly: "Poverty really has no evidence."

Queen Gao was surprised that he was so frank, and snorted coldly: "Dare to sue without evidence. Doesn't Master Ye think that this palace is a place where you can come and go as soon as you say it?"

"That's not true. Pindao has never thought of this. The reason why Pindao came here is for the sake of the world and for the safety of the king. The matter of Cao Yunran and even the matter of the second son can be pushed back, but the current The situation was that the king was in danger.

Now there is an evil ghost in the city, who wants to use Cao Yunran's resentment to make Cao Yunran willingly donate his body|body to make one person, one ghost, and ghost become one. Ghost Festival, when the gates of ghosts are wide open, when the yin qi is the strongest and the evil spirits are the strongest. With a physical body, even as an evil ghost, you can break through the barriers set by your predecessors at the gate of the palace 30 years ago. Banned from entering the palace.

When the time comes, the evil spirits will besiege the entire palace with a group of little ghosts, so what about the king's safety?

Or, Madam Queen, you don't worry about the king's life at all, and you even think that a second-year-old son without any merit or title is comparable to the king? "

Ye Qingyan spoke eloquently, without any ups and downs, but it seemed like a sharp knife pierced Queen Gao's chest, causing her complexion to change drastically, and she gasped for breath.

"Don't talk nonsense! When did this palace say that you don't care about the king? When did you think that the king is not as good as the falcon? Don't believe him, the king. He is just deceiving people and a demon!" Queen Gao The last sentence was addressed to King Zou, for fear that King Zou would doubt her if he believed the words of the demon way.

Ye Qingyan sat there indifferently: "But the Queen's words mean this in both. The Queen thinks that Gao Fal cannot be punished without evidence, so let's not talk about Gao Fal's crimes, but talk about how to keep the king first, and how not to let him go. The evil spirit has succeeded. The king and the people of Zoucheng are in imminent danger. Let the second son of Gao sacrifice his family and pretend to plead guilty so that Cao Yunran can give up his grudges. Then he will announce the truth and make the second son Gao innocent. Is it that the second son of Gao is not willing to sacrifice for the king? ?”

It's because he has no evidence, but as long as the sophomore dares to respond, he will make him unable to come out again.

But Queen Gao will just watch Gao Fun go to jail and suffer?

I'm afraid it's impossible, and that's what Ye Qingyan is waiting for. As long as Queen Gao dares to refuse, she will prove to herself that in her heart, the king and tens of thousands of people are no match for Gao Falcon.

Queen Gao looked at Ye Qingyan with a smile that was not a smile, no matter how sanctimonious and thoughtful the other party said, Queen Gao didn't believe it at all.

This person dared to enter Gao Yu's case, he must know the things that Yan'er did. He said that he pleaded guilty first to stop the evil spirits, but in fact he wanted to lock up Xuan'er first, and immediately ordered to kill him when the time came. How can the palace stop it?

This monster can be punished!

"You, you..." But how did she say these words?To say it is to disbelieve the king.

Queen Gao's face was contorted to the extreme for a moment, her well-maintained fingers pinched the palm of her hand, and she took a deep breath: "Since it is to temporarily clear Cao Yunran of his grievances and prevent him from getting along with ghosts, why not change someone? Whoever throws it out first pleads guilty?"

Ye Qingyan didn't expect her to react quickly, but she thought it would be a big mistake for Gao Falcon to escape: "But in Zoucheng, who has such a great ability, not only killing so many lives, but also killing so many people?" He could even kill seventeen members of the Wu family and blame Cao Yunran, and he could clean up the scene so completely?

Even after Cao Yunran was arrested, he was forced to confess and ruined his hands and feet. What Wang Mingming could find out in the morning, but those who reviewed the case couldn't find it?

This is really strange, did someone say hello on purpose?Must Cao Yunran plead guilty?The queen thinks that just looking for someone can convince Cao Yunran?Then who could have such a great ability to reach out to the prison? "

What he said caused an uproar in the imperial study room, and everyone was stunned, probably because they had never thought of this possibility at all.

Even King Zou didn't expect that there might be a courtier he trusted behind Cao Yunran's case.

And the one who did all of this, the entire Zoucheng can almost be counted on fingers, and the first among them... is the Gao family.

Originally, the Gao family was not the only one, but after listening to Ye Qingyan's words, Queen Gao's face was as pale as paper because of guilty conscience. This scene fell into King Zou's eyes. His whole body was full of anger, and he stared at Queen Gao with a sullen face: "Queen, don't you Say something?"

Queen Gao gritted her teeth and denied: "I don't know what this Taoist priest said. Falconer has been kind-hearted since he was a child, and it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing. Your Majesty, you once promised Chenqie, promised Chenqie a promise, now The concubine only wants to save Falcon's life, so are you going to break your promise, Your Majesty?"
