In the east wing of the courtyard, Suo Wenhai was tightly tied to a chair, his mouth was gagged, and he was placed by the window. There was no light in the room. Through the window, with the faint starlight, he could clearly see

He could see the situation outside. Beside Suo Wenhai, there was a strong man holding a sword on his waist. He was Su Can, the commander of the guards of the Fourth Prince's Palace. Behind them, on the chairs against the wall, there were ten people sitting in a row.

Several palace guards had their swords drawn out of their scabbards and placed flat on their knees. These dozen of them sat upright, and one could tell at a glance that they were extremely elite warriors.

This was already the third day. The outside of the hospital was quiet as before. Suo Wenhai tried his best to turn his head and looked at Su Can. The irony in his eyes was very clear. The meaning was very clear. You have wasted your efforts.

Su Can was very patient. Looking at Suo Wenhai's proud eyes, Su Can smiled slightly. If the fourth master said that the other party would come, then the other party would definitely come.

Su Can's calmness and confidence made Suo Wenhai feel inexplicably panicked. "Your Majesty, I am loyal! You don't really want to silence me, do you? Suo Wenhai actually regards himself as a dead person in his heart.

But he knew that there was a huge difference between being killed by the fourth prince and being killed by the eldest prince. If the eldest prince really sent someone, then he could be sure that his family was finished.

The entire courtyard was so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat. Suo Wenhai was suffering, and every night was a kind of torture for him.

There was a soft cracking sound, like dead leaves falling to the ground. Su Can's relaxed body suddenly tightened, and he pressed a hand on Suo Wenhai. Almost at the same time, more than a dozen palace guards behind him put their hands on the

Knife hilt in lap.

"Here we come!" Su Can leaned over and said proudly in Suo Wenhai's ear. Suo Wenhai lowered his head in pain, tears welling up in his eyes. His father, mother, wife, and children must all have died.

Outside the courtyard, one person first crossed over the wall and lay down in the flower garden beside the wall. After a while, the other three people jumped over the wall one by one and entered. The four people were divided into two groups, one group ran towards the west wing, and the other group went straight to the west wing.

It's the east chamber where Suo Wenhai was imprisoned.

Su Can raised his fist, and more than a dozen guards stood up quietly, hiding aside. They even brought chairs to lift Suo Wenhai. Su Can retreated to the center of the house, already holding the waist knife in his hand.

The blade was inserted along the crack of the door, and with a slight flick, the door latch slid to one side. The door was quietly opened a crack, and the two people outside slid in like fishes, not forgetting to use the backhand lightly.

Close the door.

Su Can chuckled softly. This gentle smile was like a thunderbolt in the ears of the two assassins. The two turned around. Almost at the same time, there was a roar in the room, a cluster of flames rose up, and several

The torch lit up with a bang, illuminating the inside and outside of the house.

There were exclamations from outside, the courtyard was suddenly brightly lit, and a large group of guards rushed out from hiding.

"I've been waiting for you for several days, and we're finally here!" Su Can took a step forward with the knife in hand, pointing directly at the opponent, "Put down the weapon, disarm and not kill!"

The two assassins who came in looked at each other and stamped their feet on the ground. They flew backwards, smashed through the door and fell into the yard. In their busy schedule, they shot a few bullets.

Xiu Jian, went straight to Suo Wenhai who was slumped in a chair.

Su Can snorted coldly, his sword flashed in the air, and he flew after him. Several arrows in his sleeves were shattered by his sword flash, and more than a dozen guards also flew after him.

The two assassins who rushed into the west wing were also forced out, where guards were also ambushing them.

Dozens of guards surrounded the four assassins. On the courtyard walls and on the roofs, there were still heads popping up. It was like a dragnet.

"Are you coming from the royal palace? Su Can has been waiting for you for a long time. At this time, you don't have to hide your head and show your tail, right?" Su Cansheng held the roll in his hand and smiled broadly. He stayed up for almost three nights and saw that the general was fully accomplished.

Tiredness turned into joy.

In the courtyard, four assassins were holding swords across their chests, back to back. Although their eyes were desperate, there was no fear. One of them said in a low voice: "I can't leave!"

"Yes, then be loyal!" Another person continued.

Hearing their conversation, Su Can was startled. He waved his sword and rushed forward, "Catch them!" he shouted.

The four assassins swung their knives almost at the same time as Su Can pounced on them, but instead of slashing at Su Can, they swung their knives towards their own faces. The muffled sound of the porcupine was heard one after another, and several sharp steel knives fell on them.

The force on his face was so great that it almost cut his head in half.

The knife in Su Can's hand hung down feebly, and he rushed forward. The four assassins who fell on the ground were already beyond recognition, and they could no longer identify who they were.

Su Can, who was extremely annoyed, threw the knife on the ground with a loud sound, "Search, search them, see if you can find any evidence." Although he said it, it was just a routine matter. Look at these people.

He looks like an expert, so why would he reveal any clues about himself?

Sure enough, when he saw the body-searching guard looking up at him with disappointment, Su Can said angrily: "Take care of yourself, the fourth master will definitely come over soon."

Suo Wenhai was untied and his legs were splinted. He still couldn't move. He covered his face with his hands and cried loudly. Li Xiao sat on top coldly and looked at Suo Wenhai until his crying gradually became quieter.

Then he said: "Suo Wenhai, you have seen it, your family was harmed by yourself. Now, don't you want to say something to me? You won't let your family die in vain, there is no value at all, right?

"

Suo Wenhai raised his head and looked at the fourth prince, with a look of extreme hatred in his eyes at first. Slowly, the hatred turned into helpless sorrow. In the hearts of these people, he and his family were like wild dogs on the street.

Even if they die ten times, they won't be moved.

"Fourth Master, if I tell you, will you let me go?" he whispered.

Li Xiao was slightly startled, "Where do you want to go? First, if you show up in public now, my elder brother will definitely kill you at any cost. Second, after you confess, you will become an important witness. In an instant,

You can’t leave either.”

"If Fourth Master promises to let me leave, then I will tell you everything I know." Suo Wenhai raised his head, "Four Master, now I have nothing to worry about, and I will probably die. If Fourth Master doesn't agree to my

, I can’t say a word.”

Li Xiao took a long breath and said, "You trust me so much? Even if you said it, I can still regret it!"

Suo Wenhai raised his face and said, "Fourth Master is someone who wants to do great things. Chrysostom said, if you agree to me, how can you regret it? There are so many guards here who can testify. Aren't Fourth Masters afraid that they will be disappointed?"

Li Xiao was furious in his heart. He glanced at the guards in the room, thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "Okay, tell me, I promise you that when you are healed, I will let you go, and I can also send you off."

Go to a safe place where big brother can’t find you.”

"In that case, I would like to thank Fourth Master first!" Suo Wenhai said.

"Then can you start now?" Li Xiao said with a smile.

In the Forbidden City, in the imperial study room of the Wenhua Hall, the highest ruler of Dai Viet, Yongle Emperor Li Jia, was half-lying on a couch. His face was sallow and skinny, and his body was obviously quite weak. On one side of the imperial couch, sitting

Prime Minister Cao Yi. Under the imperial couch, Xu Wei, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was kneeling there, narrating his trip to Lucheng in a low voice.

While listening to Xu Wei's statement, Li Jia looked at Xu Wei's folding book. No expression could be seen clearly on his sallow face. After reading the folding book, he handed it to Cao Yi, "Take a look!"

Cao Yi bowed and took it.

"Are you done?" Li Jia turned to look at Xu Wei.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have finished speaking."

"For the sake of a woman, an entire village was massacred. In your opinion, the boss instigated this matter, right?" There was no emotion in Li Jia's words.

"I don't dare to lower my rank!" Xu Wei kowtowed, "However, the prince's disciples were indeed involved in this incident. Now we know that Wu Siyuan and Suo Wenhai were involved."

Li Jia snorted and turned to look at Cao Yi, "Xiangguo, what do you think of this matter?"

Cao Yi leaned forward slightly and said: "The massacre of villages and households has made people and gods angry. This matter is indeed not a trivial matter. However, after reading Shi Lang Xu's statement, it would be unfair to implicate this matter on the uncle."

"How do you say this?"

"The eldest prince has been living in the capital, and this Lujia Village is three thousand miles away from the capital. How could the eldest prince know that there is such a woman in such a remote place, and send people all the way to snatch her away? So, according to me

It seems that this is probably the disciples of the great prince who are good at making opinions in order to please the great prince." Cao Yidao.

Li Jia nodded, "What the prime minister said makes sense. These evil slaves really go to any lengths to please their masters, and they can do such things that make everyone angry. Xu Wei, how many times have you come back this time?"

Qianli, thank you for your hard work. Let’s leave this case to Zhang Ang. When we get down, tell the fourth child that the relevant criminals will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for Zhang Ang to try.”

Xu Wei was shocked. Zhang Ang was the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was the uncle's man. His Majesty did not know it. He handed this case to Zhang Ang for trial, which was to put an end to the matter. He wanted to argue, but when he raised his head, he saw the emperor.

With a breathtaking look in his eyes, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He lowered his head and said, "Yes! I'm resigning."

Seeing Xu Wei retreat, Li Jia's face darkened little by little, "Xiangguo, can you see the strangeness in this story?"

Cao Yi nodded.

"In Xu Wei's excerpt, it is clearly stated that it was the Meng people who slaughtered the villages and households, but it was the prince's disciples who finally got the woman. But Xu Wei pretended to be deaf and dumb on this point and did not mention it at all."

Li Jia snorted, "Do you think he is covering up for the boss?"

Cao Yi smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the fourth master has not obtained a strong testimony yet, so I will not mention it. It is conceivable that if the fourth master raises an issue on this matter, he will be struck by thunder."

Li Jia sighed, "Yeah, it's really not a worry. Cao Yi, go check this out. Why did the boss's disciples appear in Lucheng? Why can his disciples easily command the Mongols? Xu Wei

The excerpt vaguely mentions that those Meng people are the royal guards of the royal court."

"yes!"

"But where is Fourth Master?" Cao Yi hesitated.

"He has me there." Li Jiadao: "Now there is no chaos in the court."
