Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

The report of Liu Shu's assassination in Tongzhou has been handed over to the cabinet, and it will be delivered to His Majesty tomorrow morning.

It was a quiet night, and the lights in the house were like beans.

Cai Qi hurried into the study with the newsletter, and said anxiously: "Father, the news just came that Liu Shu disappeared in Tongzhou. Our people searched the whole valley and couldn't find him."

Cai Yuan knew about this a long time ago: "Don't worry, he won't return to Beijing alive."

"But the spies have sent news that Liu Shu has found Song Yinian, if he is still alive, then everything we have done before will be in vain!"

"Liu Shu scares you like this, how can you make a big deal in the future?" Cai Yuan glanced at him displeased, "Your Majesty will send someone to investigate the matter in Tongzhou, so you and I don't need to worry about it."

Cai Qi was a little dazed: "Father, aren't you worried that Your Majesty will know?"

Cai Yuan sneered: "So what if His Majesty knows? Whether he believes it or not is the most important thing."

"what do you mean--"

Cai Yuan said: "Liu Shu has won the trust of His Majesty. Now that he has disappeared with evidence, His Majesty must be very anxious. It is expected that the candidate who will go to the northern border to look for Liu Shu tomorrow morning will be decided, and what we have to do is to push Fu Mingjue away." Take this position."

Although Fu Xiuyun let Fu Mingjue off last time, as long as Xuanyuwei is in his hands for a day, Fu Xiuyun will not fully trust him.The current relationship between the two is like that thin layer of ice, it only takes a stone to completely break them up, and Liu Shu is that stone.

Cai Qi suddenly realized: "You want Liu Shu to die in the hands of Fu Mingjue?"

"That's right," he said with a hint of mockery on his face, "Liu Shu is His Majesty's personal censor, and he has evidence about iron ore on him. If such a person dies in the hands of Fu Mingjue, you What do you think His Majesty will think?"

Cai Qi's eyes gradually became excited, and he unconsciously lowered his voice: "Intent to rebel?"

That iron mine is not in the records of the Ministry of Industry. It is an unnamed mine, and it is easy to make a fuss about it.

Cai Yuan hooked the corners of his lips, and his hoarse and deep voice made people shudder: "Whether it is the iron mine in Guiya Valley or the evidence on Liu Shu, they will disappear together with Fu Mingjue."

King Jing'an guarded the border and Fu Mingjue guarded the capital. They have kept Dayan safe and sound for many years, but this seemingly indestructible barrier also has its weaknesses.

This game of chess has been played for 30 years, and it is time to decide the outcome.
The eastern sky gradually reveals fish belly white, and the dazzling morning light dispels the darkness of night little by little.

In the early court, when Fu Xiuyun heard that Liu Shu had been assassinated and disappeared, he was furious in court.Unsurprisingly, the task of setting off to Tongzhou to find Liu Shu's whereabouts fell on Fu Mingjue.

Fu Mingjue had expected it a long time ago, and bowed to accept the order.

After coming down to court, Fu Xiuyun left him behind and said: "According to the news sent back by Liu Shu earlier, Song Yinian, the prefect of Tongzhou, has been communicating with the capital all the time. I speculate that he should be inseparable from the matter of the iron mine. This person The city is extremely deep, so you have to be on your guard. Besides, I have sent a letter to King Jing'an, asking him to send someone to assist you in the search."

With a jade-like face, he nodded and said, "I obey the order."

Fu Xiuyun wanted to give a few more words of advice, but suddenly felt dizzy, so he had to give up: "The trip to the northern border is imminent, you should set off immediately, go early and return early."

Fu Mingjue noticed that his expression was not right, so he didn't ask any further questions, and then left Chengming Hall.

After waiting for him, Fu Xiuyun propped his forehead with one hand, looked tired, and beckoned for Manager Li to come over.

Director Li carefully supported him, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, are you okay? Do you want to invite the imperial physician to come and see?"

"No need," he shook his head and got up slowly, "Go to Changchun Palace."

Ever since Cai Fuya entered the palace, Fu Xiuyun would go to the Changchun Palace every now and then. Recently, the number of visits has become more and more frequent. Even the most favored concubine Li was left out in the cold.

Cai Fuya is the niece of the imperial concubine Huimin, there is a bit of resemblance between her eyebrows and eyes, could it be that His Majesty regards her as the late imperial concubine Huimin?
Manager Li sneered secretly, not sure what he was thinking.

Fu Mingjue left in a hurry this time, after bidding farewell to Ling Youyao, he led people out of the city.

The purpose of going to Tongzhou this time is to find out the whereabouts of Liu Shu and the background of the iron mine; the second is to find out the mastermind who murdered the prince and queen.

Although he had an object of suspicion before, it was just a guess. He could not be sure about it until Cai Fuya entered the palace as a concubine, but what he has to do now is to find evidence.

From the capital to Tongzhou, one day and one night is enough, but before Fu Mingjue went to the magistrate, he went to another place - Yuan'an County of Tongzhou, which is Wu Changhai's hometown.

Yuan'an County is not big, what happened in the east of the city can be spread to the west of the city within a quarter of an hour.Although Fu Mingjue only brought Jiang Zhou and a few personal guards with him on this trip, Zhao Guanglin, the magistrate of Yuan'an County, immediately got the news as soon as he entered the city.

"Are you sure you read it right?" Zhao Guanglin sat up from the grand master's chair with a "bang".

The master nodded affirmatively: "It's absolutely true! How big is our county? I know that a mouse sneaks in on weekdays! What's more about real people? You haven't seen that style, that precious brocade material, and that The scabbard engraved with lotus patterns, you can tell it came from the capital!"

Zhao Guanglin stroked his chin: "But, what are people from the capital doing in our county?"

"Well..." The master rubbed his chin in thought, and suddenly remembered something, "Didn't Song Yinian send someone here before? I remember that they seemed to be looking for someone..."

Zhao Guanglin frowned, "I remember...it was that one, that tofu seller!"

"Hey! That's right, it's her! Huang Xiuzhu, who sells tofu in the east of the city, Song Yinian sent someone here last time because of her, but it's a pity that he didn't see him, so he burned it down!"

Zhao Guanglin thought carefully, and speculated: "Could it be that they came this time because of that tofu seller?"

The master is not sure: "Looking at their outfits, they seem to be high-ranking officials in the capital. No matter what they are for, we have to greet them quickly! Maybe you got the attention of your superiors, and when you look back at Song Yinian, he will give you a hand. You give up your seat for tea!"

"That makes sense." Zhao Guanglin raised his belt and immediately went out to meet the guests.

Who would have thought that as soon as he walked out of the yamen, he saw a young man in black with a sword standing at the door.Zhao Guanglin squinted his eyes: "Who is it? Are you going to go to the Yamen to make trouble in the daylight?"

Jiang Zhou turned his head when he heard the sound, and his eyes fell on him: "You are Zhao Guanglin?"

"Bold!" Zhao Guanglin snorted coldly, "Where did the unruly people dare to call the county magistrate by his first name?"

The master hurriedly tugged at him, and reminded in a low voice: "My lord, that is a high official from the capital!"

Zhao Guanglin's complexion changed, and he immediately put on a smiling face to meet him: "Yes, yes, the young one is Zhao Guanglin, the county magistrate of Yuan'an County. I don't know why the adults are looking for the young one?"

Jiang Zhou said expressionlessly, "Do you know the family surnamed Wu who used to live in Huaihua Lane in the east of the city?"

"The Wu family in Huaihua Lane?" Zhao Guanglin turned to look at the master, "Didn't they all die 12 years ago?"
