With the arrival of winter, Luoyang City also became depressed. In winter, not many people would go to the streets. Han Jian walked between several official offices and palaces in Luoyang every day, and there were not many pedestrians.

After the winter, the northern wars had several small-scale battles. Lin Zhan led his troops without advancing. The two sides had only a simple confrontation, with less than a hundred people killed or injured. However, with the arrival of the cold winter, food and supplies could not be transported, and the loss on the front line was becoming increasingly serious due to non-war events.

As for Su Tingxia's troops, who were still in the Bohai Kingdom, they had been in a state of disconnection. They only learned from Hu Shang that the war in the Bohai Kingdom was still in progress.

Starting from mid-to-late October, some court politicians in Luoyang were assassinated one after another, some were attacked by thieves at night on their way to court. For a moment, there was a panic in Luoyang City, and many ministers strengthened their guards to protect the hospital and did not want to suffer disasters. However, the assassination happened one after another, and the incident broke into the court. Yang Rui was also very dissatisfied and ordered Lu Fengning's Tingwei Mansion to cooperate with the city defense camp to capture the murderer.

By early November, the Daxi Liu sent by Han Jian had already caught several assassins. Surprisingly, these assassins were all female assassins. Their martial arts skills were not high, and they could even be said to be ordinary women, but they succeeded one after another and could assassinate the politicians of the court, which also made Han Jian feel surprised.

Most of these women took advantage of the time when there was a banquet in the minister's house and sneaked in as a kabuki, and then waited for an opportunity to start. Afterwards, no one expected that the seemingly weak singer and dancer were the murderers, so no one could find the murderer.

And let Daxi Liu check it carefully, these assassins were actually sent by the Xiwang Mansion.

Han Jian still attaches great importance to this matter. Now the Xiwang Mansion has been holding its troops. Faced with such a good opportunity that the court and the Xianbei people are fighting in the north. The Xiwang Mansion can actually not send troops to seize Luoyang City and take advantage of the situation. Han Jian has long noticed something is wrong. However, this time, the Xiwang Mansion secretly sent people to assassinate the court politicians, as if to transfer the conflict.

On the ninth day of November, Han Jian personally came to the place where the female assassin was arrested. It was a small house. From the outside, it was just an ordinary official house, but it was a prison cell inside. There was also a place for interrogation, which looked like Avici Hell.

When Han Jian arrived, Da Xiliu came out to greet him. She also came out with some secret spies under the Eastern Prince's Mansion system. These people were masked by black cloth. They may be just some people in the city in Luoyang City, but their true identities were secret spies under the Eastern Prince's Mansion, investigating all the movements of the city and even the entire Wei Dynasty.

"Young Master, everyone is inside. The interrogation has been found in the past few days. Please inform us of whether to be executed."

Han Jian waved his hand and did not let Da Xiliu continue talking.

He walked to the torture room himself and entered it. There was a very heavy smell of charcoal in the air. Several braziers were placed in the middle of the torture room, with red soldering irons inside. On the torture rack, there were seven or eight women who were beaten and covered in bruises hanging on it. They were already dying.

Han Jian knew that Daxiliu's hatred for the Xiwang Mansion was a person related to the Xiwang Mansion. Daxiliu was never ruthless when he saw it. This was a unique hatred between the people of Xiliang and the Xiwang Mansion. Even if Han Jian had any orders, he could not change it. It was precisely because these female assassins were sent from the Xiwang Mansion that Daxiliu would be more ruthless and even felt a little inhumane.

These women were all used as a cover-up for assassination because they were all beautiful, but now they were beaten on the torture rack and were covered in bruises. Even for Han Jian, they also had a sense of visual impact. On the contrary, Daxi Liu seemed to think that this was a very ordinary torture and confession. His expression was very ordinary and had no change at all.

"How is it going?"

Han Jian sat down on the chair, and there was only one chair in the entire torture room. Da Xiliu came forward respectfully and informed Han Jian of the results of the interrogation over the past few days.

After hearing this, Han Jian nodded slightly. Regarding why the Western Prince's Mansion sent these people to assassinate the court politicians, these women who were ordered to do nothing. They were just ordering to act. Although they confessed to the person behind the scenes, they were not arrested. Because the news of Luoyang was very loud, those who could escape were hiding, and they could basically not find them after these female assassins were arrested.

"Young Master, these bad guys..."

Da Xiliu still missed the treatment of these women.

According to Han Jian's idea, killing some women is a bit unfair, but compared to the Western Prince's Mansion using women as an assassin, it is even more unbiased and unbiased.

"You see how to deal with it."

Han Jian said a word, then left the official office and went straight into the palace.

In Ye'an Pavilion, Han Jian and Yang Rui were alone. This time, Han Jian reported to Yang Rui about the assassin. Han Jian told Yang Jian what he knew was basically the same, because Han Jian had never said about the assassin before, and Yang Rui was still a little annoyed that Han Jian did not help. Now that Han Jian said it, she realized that Han Jian's investigation had already been found.

"It was really done by the Western Prince's Mansion?" After hearing this, Yang Rui was still a little skeptical.

In her opinion, the Western Prince's Mansion was always out of the matter and had never been involved in this battle on life and death in the Central Plains. He did not believe that the Western Prince's Mansion would send people to the capital to assassinate political leaders. Moreover, all the assassinated political leaders were officials of the court faction, and none of the Eastern Prince's Mansion had been assassinated.

Han Jian said: "Ting Ruier, what you mean is not to believe it. Do you think I'm asking someone to kill someone and then blame the West Prince's Mansion?"

Yang Rui curled his lips disdainfully and said, "Your behavior is something that you can do. Don't be angry, husband, I'm just talking casually, or tell me about those female assassins, how could they easily succeed? Even those ministers are guarded against them, will they be hit?"

Han Jian said a little more, and Yang Rui seemed to be lowering his head and thinking about something, saying, "These people are really worthy of death. The court is now in trouble, and the war in the north has not stopped, but they all think about how to contact their colleagues, which is why they fall into the hands of those assassins. My husband is prepared to deal with those female assassins."

"Kill." Han Jian just said a simple word.

"It's not worth killing." Yang Rui suddenly said.

Han Jian narrowed his eyes and said, "It sounds like Ruier, you sent someone to blame the West Prince's Mansion. Now the person who wants to kill you is reluctant to let go."

Yang Rui gave Han Jian a blank look and said, "Husband is so unbearable. I was just a joke just now. You are still serious now. Forget it, but a few assassins, how do you do whatever you want. If you think I am like an assassin, what should I do to you tonight?"

Yang Rui's **spicy words also made Han Jian feel a little itchy. Seeing Yang Rui's face was a little charming and passionate, Han Jian knew that Yang Rui was also in love now. If he hadn't met some ministers later, he might have started immediately. In broad daylight, Yang Rui was "reformed on the spot" at a place like Ye'an Pavilion, where he discussed the affairs of the court.

"Yes." Han Jian nodded with a smile and said, "That night, I will enter the palace for my husband, so I must examine Ruier, you cunning assassin."

Yang Rui couldn't help but smile, and then she wanted to restore her shape, because she had already waited for several ministers outside, and it would take no time to tell them to come in to meet him.

After talking about the matter, Han Jianyou sat aside and waited for Yang Rui to call the ministers in and briefly talked about the assassin. The ministers were still a little concerned. It can be seen that these people didn't believe that the assassin was sent by the Western Prince's Mansion. Even if some people believed it, they felt that things were not that simple now.

"... Let you take a closer look and not listen. Do you think that singing and dancing are coming to peace and the court is in trouble, so you can indulge in leisure and joy?" Yang Rui said with both voice and authority, "I have issued an order now that there will be no banquets in Luoyang within half a year, and even festivals must be mainly vegetarian. There should be no violations among the people, but some people have any objections?"

It was the year of war, and it was reasonable for Yang Rui to order a ban on banquets. Now that the Western Prince's Mansion sent assassins to assassinate, everything seemed more natural. Yang Rui was angry now, who dared to come out and say no?

"Okay, you guys go back. Shangshu Ning didn't go to court today. He went back to ask someone to tell him what happened today. Seeing that he was sick, he really thought he was a sarcastic person. If he couldn't afford to get sick again, the court would just follow him to stop court!"

Yang Rui said angrily, the minister below still dared not say anything.

Once, the chief minister Ning Yuan had been ill for many days, and Ning Yuan was troubled by the past. After summer grain, autumn grain, and after autumn grain, the East Prince's Mansion, he was responsible for sorting out the food and grass and military supplies. He was a minister of the Ministry of Personnel, just used it as a mule, but he fell ill, but Yang Rui didn't appreciate it. In Yang Rui's opinion, the ministers who were ministers were the ones who shared the worries of the emperor. This is better. Once the ministers who were in charge of the government fell ill, who would share her worries?

After everyone left, Yang Rui's anger subsided. When he walked to Han Jian, he sat directly on Han Jian's lap.

"Aren't you afraid of being seen?" Han Jian said this, but his hand was polite and directly reached into Yang Rui's clothes to grope.

Yang Rui glanced at him and said, "When I think about it now, I wish I could be seen, so I can't hide it."

As she said that, she calmed down first and kept warm with Han Jian for a while before saying, "Yang Luochuan's old man said he wanted to go back to Yuzhou, and this time it seemed that he was going to take serious action."

"Oh." Han Jian's big hand was still raging in Yang Rui's arms, and said, "Just leave him alone. He probably knew that he would not go back to Yuzhou, but he was just asking for advice."

"I'm afraid that he has ulterior motives this time, and the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou have abnormal movements. You should know the news these days. If the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou really come to Luoyang, I'll see if I don't kill this old man." Yang Rui said, but exclaimed, "Ah. I don't know how to be gentle."

As he said that, he reached out to pinch Han Jian, but his eyes turned a glamorous look. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
