Order of Heaven

A heavy snow fell for several days, and everything between the sky and the earth was white.

The flavor of the New Year in the streets and alleys has not dissipated, and children and adults are visiting each other to wish each other.It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good year, and the recent heavy snow not only did not cool people's enthusiasm, but made them smile even more.

Unlike ordinary people, where the atmosphere is thick and full of laughter, the huge palace is now shrouded in dark clouds, and even the air seems to be stagnant.

Just last night, the emperor's favorite plum concubine died in the snow-covered plum grove, and the gorgeous wine glass in her hand rolled to the side, spilling the beautiful wine bestowed by the emperor on the floor.

Good wine should be paired with a beautiful woman, and this beauty is the emperor bestowed on his favorite concubine Mei Fei on New Year's Eve when he was happy. The only three altars were all sent to her Plum Blossom Palace.

It is said that the emperor did not want to believe it when he got the news, until he saw Concubine Mei lying on the snow with plum blossoms all over her body, just as amazing as when he first saw her, the difference is that she has no breath now.

Later, a group of people came out from the palace and galloped all the way to Lizhou on the ground covered with snow.

On this day, Yue Yin left home early and went to Fu's house to pay New Year's greetings. He would go there every year since he was a child, and this year was no exception.

Yue Yin visited the Fu family's uncles and aunts one by one, and went to see her sister and brother-in-law. At noon, they got together to eat and talk, and half a day passed happily.Later, he was dragged out by Fu Sheng, and took advantage of the sunny day after the snow to go out to have some fun, and by the time he returned home, the sun had already set.

When Yue Yin returned to Yue's house with a full body of afterglow, he felt that the atmosphere was not right as soon as he walked to the door. When he frowned and stepped into the door with one foot, he was stopped by Ji Yuan and dragged to the alleyway inside.

Seeing Yue Yin looking at him in surprise, Ji Yuan knew that his young master didn't know what happened at home, so he could only hold Yue Yin who wanted to go out and said: "Master, something happened."

"What's going on?" Yue Yin suddenly had a very bad premonition, and was a little flustered.

"Master and Madam were taken away." Ji Yuan grabbed Yue Yin's hand more and more forcefully.

"What?!" Yue Yin wanted to break free from the grasped arm and go home to see what happened.

Ji Yuan held Yue Yin firmly: "Master, you can't go home now, they still have someone waiting for you, Master!"

Yue Yin tried his best to calm down his shortness of breath: "What's going on?"

"It's not appropriate to stay here, young master, come with me." Ji Yuan let go and groaned, leading him out of the city through a small path, and came to a small courtyard outside the city.

Ji Yuan pushed open the courtyard door and led Yue Yin in.

"Uncle Ji, what happened? Who took my parents away?" Yue Yin asked anxiously without waiting to stand still. Judging by Ji Yuan's nervousness, Yue Yin knew that the matter was serious.

"Master and Madam were taken away by people sent by the palace!" Ji Yuan slapped the tree trunk with his palm, angrily said.

"Why?" Yue Yin didn't understand what the Yue family did at this time, to make the people in the palace so violent.

"I'm not very clear. I just said that I committed a capital crime and took the master and wife away without any explanation. Fortunately, you were not at home, young master, otherwise—" Ji Yuan clenched his fists.

"What! Capital crime?" Yue Yin couldn't calm down immediately when he heard this, and took a few steps forward abruptly.

"Yes, now the house is full of people left behind by them, just waiting for you, young master, to throw yourself into the trap. My uncle's house is also under surveillance. You must not act rashly, young master. Before the master was arrested, he specially told me to take good care of you, young master." Jiyuan Road.

Yue Yin took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down. At this time, he must not be in a mess, his parents are still waiting for him to rescue him.

"Does Uncle Ji know where my parents are being held after being arrested?" Yue Yin slowly calmed down.

Ji Yuan could see that Yue Yin had calmed down: "Master and Madam were taken to Chenzhou directly after being arrested. They should have traveled a long distance since noon today."

"So urgent? It seems that the situation is really bad. We have to rush to Chenzhou immediately to see what happened." Yue Yin clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were full of worry, and he quickly calculated a countermeasure in his heart .

"Master, you wait here, I will prepare right away." Ji Yuan took a few steps outside and then turned his head: "Be sure to wait for me."

"Uncle Ji, don't worry, I won't do anything foolish." Yue Yin assured.

After watching Ji Yuan close the door and go away, Yue Yin walked to the side of the bamboo stool and sat down, propping his forehead with his hands, and began to sort out his chaotic thoughts, without feeling the bone-chilling chill when the ice and snow in the yard melted.

He never thought that on the day he went out, such a big event would happen at home, so suddenly that he had no time to react.After thinking about it, the only thing that has anything to do with the palace now is the fact that the palace bought wine at his family's Zuixianfang years ago, but this was handled by his father at the time, and it stands to reason that there would never be any It's a problem, unless someone has tampered with it, in a place where father can't touch.

In this way, this matter will be really troublesome. No matter how powerful they are, they are only merchants. If they really fight against them, they will have absolutely no advantage at all.

But even so, it is impossible for Yue Yin to back down, his parents are in danger now, he can't hide, and he won't hide.

When the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, Yue Yin raised his head and glanced over sharply, only when he saw Ji Yuan, he slowed down, got up and walked over.

"Uncle Ji." Yue Yin looked at the two fast horses outside the door.

"Master, everything is ready, when are we leaving?" Ji Yuan handed Yue Yin's saber over.

Yue Yin took the sword and walked out: "Let's go now."

"Okay!" Of course, Ji Yuan understood that this matter could not be delayed for a moment.

The two got on a horse each, and with a swipe of the whip, they rode in the direction of Chenzhou.

When Ji Yuan was preparing the horses, he found an opportunity to send a letter to Yuege, informing her that Yueyin was safe, and that the two would go to Chenzhou to rescue the master and wife, so she didn't have to worry too much.

But how could Yue Ge not be worried, on the one hand, his father and mother had been taken away, and on the other hand, his younger brother who might be in danger at any time.Let alone Yuege, the entire Fu family was in a state of anxiety.With such a big incident happening to the Yue family, how could they still be in the mood to be immersed in the joy of the New Year like others? They have already started to try their best to find out the news about the Yue family, to see if they can find a way to solve the Yue family's problems crisis.

After Fu Sheng found out, he was even more anxious. If he hadn't been stopped by someone, he would have gone to Yuejia to see what happened.In the end, he had no choice but to write to Quan Ling in Chenzhou to see if she could get any news.

After a day and a night of non-stop driving, Yue Yin and Ji Yuan finally arrived at the border of Chenzhou when it was dark, but they took a look at the gate of the city from a distance, and knew that the investigation was very strict now, maybe they expected that they would enter city.

"What to do?" Yue Yin asked.

Ji Yuan had expected this kind of situation a long time ago, so he opened his bags, took out two sets of clothes and said to Yue Yue: "Master, it's getting dark now, let's put on a disguise, we should be able to get in."

Seeing Ji Yuan's thorough preparations, Yue Yin knew that his father was thinking about leaving Uncle Ji to himself. After all, he had been by his father's side and knew more than himself.

After they disguised themselves, they led their horses into the city. Although they were also interrogated, they did not show any clues and went in smoothly.

After entering the city, Ji Yuan directly led Yue Yin to an inconspicuous small courtyard, settled Yue Yin in and then left, saying that he was going to investigate the situation.

After all this, Yue Yin knew that Ji Yuan had some skills, although this matter was urgent, he must not rush into it.Besides, Yue Yin doesn't deal with people in the officialdom, so he really can't think of any way out for a while, Gong Que should know what's going on, but at this moment, his identity is very sensitive, so he must not go to him rashly.

Just as Yue Yin was thinking about it, there was movement outside the window, Yue Yin quickly picked up the sword at hand, and walked over carefully.This is not the return of Ji Yuan, if it is him, there is no need to be sneaky, but how can it be discovered so quickly when it is so hidden here?

When Yue Yin was alert, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Regarding this development, Yue Yin was really a little confused.But since everyone had already knocked on the door, Yue Yin stepped forward with a sword in hand and opened the door on one side.

As soon as the door opened, the person at the door turned around and came in, and while hugging Yue Yin, he closed the door.

"Why are you here?" Yue Yin asked looking at the palace that was close at hand.

Gong Que let go and groaned, walked indoors and sat down: "If I don't come, don't you plan to come to me?"

Yue Yin walked over and put down the sword, and sat opposite the palace: "Of course I'm here to find you."

"If you really come, I don't have to let Mo Ran wait for you at the city gate." Gong Que said.

"Did Mo Ran tell you I'm here?" Yue Yin knew that even if he had disguised himself, he couldn't hide it from Mo Ran who was familiar with him.

"Well, he will know as soon as you enter the city." Gong Que stretched out his hand to hold Yue Yin's hand, "You don't have to worry, I have stabilized the situation, Uncle Yue and Aunt He will be fine these few days."

Upon hearing this, Yue Yin was startled immediately, grabbed Gong Que's wrist with his backhand and asked, "What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything, I just asked the emperor to let me investigate this case, don't worry." Gong Que said hastily.

Hearing what Gong Que said, Yue Yin was relieved, and slowly loosened his wrist.

"What exactly happened? Are you going to punish me to death?" Yue Yin asked.

"Because the emperor's favorite concubine died after drinking your family's wine. The emperor was furious on the spot and directly ordered to go to Yizhou overnight to arrest you." Gong Que said.

"How is it possible? My father personally checked those wines. There is absolutely no problem. How could the emperor conclude so hastily that it was my family who poisoned me?" Yue Yin was a little angrily.

"The wine came out of your house. The most important thing is that the poison is not an ordinary poison. This poison will not appear under normal circumstances. It will only become highly poisonous when you use a calendula to hold the wine. And in the palace , the one who uses the golden cup is the emperor, and the dead Concubine Mei dared to use the golden cup because of her love." Gong Que said.

Yue Yin felt a chill all over his body after listening to it, the person who poisoned him was really ruthless, he didn't want to leave a little way for him to survive.The person who poisoned him may not have calculated the emperor's life, but in the eyes of the emperor, he wanted his life; once the emperor felt that someone was trying to murder him, he would not care who poisoned him. No one will let it go easily.

Seeing Yue Yin's serious expression, Gong Que said, "But the emperor was also angry at the time. Not only did he lose his beloved concubine, but he also found out that someone had the audacity to murder him. Now that he calms down and thinks about it, he should be able to figure it out. Merchants, there is really no reason to do such a murderous thing. I am afraid that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. The emperor probably has other plans to arrest you. Besides, even if the emperor is in a daze and wants to sacrifice you to Concubine Mei, it is not appropriate to see blood at the time of the New Year. , Your Majesty will not be careless. Uncle Yue and Aunt He are only being imprisoned in the sky prison now, nothing will really happen, I have already been taken special care of."

It was precisely because of this that the emperor agreed when the palace asked for an order to investigate the case, because the emperor himself did not believe that a merchant family was so bold as to poison him.Of course, the emperor will not take it lightly, he will kill the Yue family, a thorough investigation is necessary, he will not let anyone who endangers himself be spared.

After hearing Gong Que's explanation, Yue Yin finally felt relieved, as long as his parents are fine, as long as there is still time, he can find a way to rescue them.

"I'm wanted now, it's inconvenient to do things, I can only rely on you for many things." Yue Yin looked at the palace, his eyes were slightly red due to the long-distance travel and lack of sleep.

Looking at the bloodshot eyes in Yue Yin's eyes, Gong Que was very distressed: "I know, you should take a good rest first."

"It's okay, Uncle Ji has gone out and hasn't come back yet." Yue Yin raised his hand and pressed his temple.

"Uncle Ji?" Gong Que knew that someone came with Yue Yin, but he didn't know who it was.

"The helper left by my father has gone out to find out the news." Yue Yin said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yuan opened the door and came in. When he saw a person sitting opposite Yue Yin, he was startled. He hadn't told anyone about his place.He didn't feel relieved until he found out that it was a palace. He knew this young master, a close friend of the young master, so there was no problem.

"Young Master Gong." Ji Yuan cupped his hands.

Gong Que stood up and cupped his hands.

"How is it?" Yue Yin got up and walked over.

"Master and Madam are being imprisoned in the prison, and there are notices posted everywhere in the city that you are wanted, young master." Ji Yuan glanced at the palace, knowing that these young masters probably already knew about these young masters, so he picked some others and continued: "I have been in contact with you." He Xin of this batch of wine has also been arrested, and Zuixianfang has been controlled by officers and soldiers."

Yue Yin took two steps, so it was difficult to ask a question. Although he believed that He Xin would not betray the Yue family, he should ask him about some things.

Seeing Yue Yin frowned and pondered, Gong Que knew what he was thinking, "Yin, you don't have to worry, I will take over the case tomorrow."
