Ever since the belief that "Xuan Jing is not dead" took root in his heart, Fu Yun became more and more calm. ,

In order to prevent Wang Chengyang and others from seeing his changes, he locked himself in the room all the time and asked no one to disturb him.Wang Chengyang and Wang Butler were also so happy, only when Fu Yun was devastated because of Xuan Jing's death.

A quiet room, alone, is very suitable for thinking about some problems that have not been thought deeply.

Fu Yun sat at the desk, closing his eyes and thinking.In his mind, he and Xuan Jing went through all the details that happened after he and Xuan Jing set off for Luobei after receiving the imperial edict.All kinds of details, Xuanjing's instructions and what he did, were carefully analyzed from the beginning to the end.After a while, he opened his eyes.Regarding Xuan Jing's plan, he had basically guessed it thoroughly.

There was a trace of shock and bewilderment in the amber eyes.He was shocked by Xuanjing's city government and ambition, and at a loss that he and Xuanjing's way of governing were completely opposite.A depressive feeling that he was not on the same path with his close people came to his mind, which made him unable to calm down for a long time.

Xuan Jing once told him that Luo Youlan must have evidence that can bring down some officials, and he thought so too.As long as Luo Youlan is found, Luo Haoyu's innocence can be restored, and then those moths who embezzle the public treasury and harm the people will be wiped out.However, he never understood why Xuanjing slowed down his search for Luo Youlan after discovering the secret agent pretending to be Luo Youlan, and instead dealt with the secret agent.Isn't it more important to find the real Luo Youlan?

Only now did he understand that what Xuan Jing wanted to do was never to help the court kill these moths, but to seize the handle of these moths, even the biggest one, as a means of blackmailing the other party , Let that huge force become a big help for Xuanjing to seize power!That's why he wasn't in a hurry to find Luo Youlan, he wanted to use the clues around him to find the person who was guiding everything behind.

And the handle of that person, or the handle of the family power represented by that person, is not easy to get.Unless Xuan Jing can get the correspondence between Wang Chengyang and the person behind him.

In the Han Dynasty, aristocratic families have their own unique imprints. When sending letters, they will affix their own seals at the end of the letter.A seal represents a family.Of course, each family's seal has its own special method, which is made in secret and cannot be imitated by others.Moreover, this kind of seal is only available to the direct heirs of the family, and other clansmen will not be able to see it even if they want to.So it is impossible to make letters by forging seals. , and no one will deliberately hide their family seal for fear of revealing their identity.Firstly, it is not necessary, secondly, it is related to the majesty of the family, and it is not child's play, thirdly, the customs of hundreds of years have already been engraved in the bones and blood of these powerful people, and they cannot be changed so easily.

Therefore, the letters exchanged between the other party and Wang Chengyang became the key to the whole incident.Not only the letter sent by Wang Chengyang, but also the letter replied by that person is indispensable.

This is also the reason why Xuanjing wanted to flee to death.Wang Chengyang was too cautious, after he and Xuan Jing arrived, he hardly showed any clues.Not to mention communicating with outsiders, only after Xuan Jing died, and when the other party thought he was sure of winning, would the other party dare to send a letter.After all, he had to report the situation to the master behind him and ask for instructions on the next action plan.

Although Fu Yun didn't know what method Xuan Jing planned to use to obtain the letters from both parties, he already knew Xuan Jing's general plan and the purpose of doing this.

Fu Yun fell into an extreme struggle.

Since he was a child, he has determined to be a good official who is diligent in government and loves the people, and takes it as his duty to eradicate all corrupt officials and courtiers.In his eyes, there is only black and white, there is no gray area.Corrupt officials and courtiers who seek personal gain for power are all existences that should be severely punished in his eyes.

But now, he found that Xuan Jing was different from him.In order to gain power, Xuan Jing can quickly occupy a place in the court, and he can cooperate with those people, and each will get something.From Fu Yun's point of view, this is absolutely unimaginable. Those people caused tens of thousands of people to be displaced, and so many people, wives and children were separated.They all deserve to be damned.But Xuan Jing... Does Xuan Jing want to accept them as the wings of his banner?

Fu Yun leaned back blankly, staring blankly at the eaves.Should he stop Xuan Jing?But when he thought about Xuanjing's words that day, he hesitated.

As a powerless and powerless prince, if Xuan Jing wanted to gain a foothold in the court, the first thing he did was of course to form his own court forces.In today's court, senior officials and ministers are basically divided into two factions. One faction is headed by the current Taiwei (the head of the military officer) and supports the empress and prince.One faction, headed by the second-level Dianke, supports the second and sixth princes as a party.The remaining small number of Qingliu officials remain neutral and are not worth mentioning.Xuan Jing had nowhere to start.

If Luo Haoyu succeeds in cleaning up his grievances this time, he may be able to win the support of some Qingliu officials for Xuanjing, but this level of influence is obviously not enough for Xuanjing to gain a firm foothold.So Xuan Jing had to snatch support from the court forces of the crown prince and even the second and sixth princes.And the Luobei flood this time is the best time for Xuanjing to seize power.With this handle in hand, I am not afraid that some powerful forces will not bow their heads.After all, if this evidence is really handed over to the emperor, it will only be a blink of an eye if the family is destroyed.Whether it is the reputation above the court or among the people, it is enough to destroy it to nothing.

Thinking about it this way, joining forces with those people is Xuanjing's only choice.Fu Yun lowered his head with a wry smile, feeling extremely tormented inside.One is the goals and dreams he has worked hard for, and the other is the lover who runs counter to himself. How should he choose?

He just sat in the room for the whole afternoon.It wasn't until the afterglow of the setting sun came in from the window that he suddenly came back to his senses, and the afternoon passed like this.Thinking of Xuanjing's future, Fu Yun secretly made a decision in his heart.

Six days passed quickly.

It has been six days since the carrier pigeon sent the letter to the capital, and today is the seventh day.Wang Chengyang, who "recovered" a little, stood by the window, looking at the blue sky outside the window, with a hint of doubt in his small eyes.No, according to the speed of delivery in the past, the lord's reply should have arrived around midnight last night, why hasn't it been delivered yet?Without waiting for him to think too much, Steward Wang's hasty voice came from outside the door: "It's not good, my lord!!! Five...His Highness the Fifth Highness is starting the trial in front of the hall!!!"

Wang Chengyang suddenly turned around, his eyes wide open: "What did you say? What is the Fifth Highness? Isn't he dead?"

Steward Wang, who ran all the way over, showed fear, with a look of hell: "You don't know, it is indeed His Highness Fifth, who is sitting in the lobby right now, saying that he is going to interrogate Luo Haoyu. Just now, some of Mr. Fu's subordinates have passed away. Take Luo Haoyu away from the dungeon!"

Wang Chengyang secretly thought that something was wrong, so he rushed to the door, and the steward Wang behind him hurriedly followed.

The huge trial hall was full of people at the moment, and on the left and right stood yamen servants holding water and fire sticks. The hall had already knelt down to interrogate the prisoner Luo Haoyu.Since it was a public trial, there was a circle of onlookers standing outside the Yamen.Everyone was talking about it, making the scene look very lively.

When Wang Chengyang and others came to the hall and saw a handsome man sitting on the main seat, the two of them suddenly lost their legs and almost fell to the ground.

A cry of surprise blurted out: "Five... Your Highness the Fifth!"

I saw the person in the hall wearing a blue brocade robe and a jade crown on his head, with a smirk on his handsome face, whoever it was if it wasn't Xuanjing.Sitting next to him was Fu Yun with a calm face. Seeing Wang Chengyang and others coming in, Fu Yun just glanced at them, then lowered his head and suppressed the emotions in his eyes.And the most conspicuous one is the tall man standing next to Xuan Jing, that man is extremely tall, muscular, and has a very cold face, he can scare the timid people to tears without saying a word .

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Xuan Jing patted the gavel on his hand: "Success!"

The yamen servants of the two sides immediately knocked on the water and fire sticks and began to chant: "Wei~wu~"

After the initial panic, Wang Chengyang quickly calmed down.He glared angrily at Xuan Jing who was sitting on the main seat, and said sharply: "Who are you? You pretended to be the Fifth Prince!"

Xuan Jing on the main seat put down the gavel, and took out a token with a playful smile: "This is the Nine Dragon Order bestowed by the emperor, the only one in the world, and only my Highness has it. Does Lord Wang think this is also a fake?" ?”

"This is impossible?!" Wang Chengyang's face was green, and his mouth opened wide in disbelief.

He had seen Xuan Jing's corpse with his own eyes, and those people killed it himself, so how could he leave him alive?What is going wrong here?

Seeing Wang Chengyang staring blankly at the token in his hand, Xuan Jing smiled and said: "My lord Wang is suffering from the heat, and he is a little delirious. That's all, my lord has a lot, so let's forget the past. Come, give me seat!"

One of the yamen servants who had been replaced by his own people came out, took the grand master's chair and put it behind Wang Chengyang.Wang Chengyang took a step back in a daze, and sat down on the chair, even forgetting to say Xie En.On the other hand, Steward Wang knelt on the ground in fright, knocked his head on the ground, and shook his body like a sieve.

Xuan Jing knocked on the gavel again, turned his gaze to Luo Haoyu at the bottom of the hall, and said in a cold voice, "Sinner Luo Haoyu, are you convicted?"

Luo Haoyu raised his head, and his muddy and crazy eyes became clear.He looked at Xuanjing fixedly, and said word by word: "I don't know!"

As soon as this remark came out, the surrounding area suddenly exploded, and the common people whispered to each other.Wang Chengyang stared at Luo Haoyu even more, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.Strange things happened one after another, even if Wang Chengyang was an old fox, he couldn't stand it now.

After the dead came back to life, this lunatic who usually ate mice and cockroaches in his cell also regained his senses? !Or, he pretended from the beginning? !
