Chapter 129: Dark Night

Just when we were worried about the emperor's imperial edict, there were also people in the capital, one of which was the Grand Tutor Han of the current dynasty.

Three hours ago, he received a letter from Fei Ge, which had only six simple words: Mission failed, all. When he saw these six words, Master Han had an ominous premonition, and he saw blood on the pigeon. This premonition was the strongest. The worst result was the mission failed and everyone was killed.

In order to perform this mission, the ones selected were better killers, and only a few children were killed. The boy from the Yang family had practiced since childhood and could withstand a while, but those two girls were definitely the only ones who were killed in front of these people. The only possibility that the mission could fail and destroy all the killers was an accident.

The more Mr. Han thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He stomped his square steps back and forth in the study. His old face looked particularly gloomy or ferocious under the lights of the room.

The scout outside the door also looked at his master in fear. An hour ago, the Grand Master asked him to send someone to take the Shangshu Xie Ren, but Xie Ren has not come yet. The Grand Master's temper is not known. If he gets angry, he will have good fruits.

The butler was serving carefully outside. The one inside had asked him three times, and his tone became more and more severe. As time passed, sweat had already appeared on the butler's forehead.

Finally, the servants at the door reported: "Sir Xie is here!"

This voice was a natural sound to the butler. He hurriedly greeted Xie Ren, who was rushing to him and said with a smile: "Sir Xie, the master has been waiting for you in the study room for some time. Please!"

Xie Ren's face didn't look very good today. After responding to the butler in a faint response, he walked to the study under the butler's guidance.

As soon as Xie Ren entered the room, he saw the Grand Master stomping square steps back and forth in the room, his face very ugly. Combined with the urgent report just now, he also vaguely guessed a rough idea!

"Teacher!" Xie Ren quickly bowed and said, "Students would like to pay you peace!"

When Master Han saw Xie Ren coming, he was much more happy and hurriedly said, "No more polite!"

After the maid who was serving him brought the tea, Grandmaster Han sent all the servants away, and only he and Xie Ren were left in the study.

He took out the information brought back by the blood-carrying pigeon from his arms, handed it to Xie Ren, and said, "Look at this?"

When Xie Ren looked at it, he found that it was a sloppy note, and the literal meaning seemed to have not been finished. It can be imagined that it must have been sent out in a very urgent situation.

Seeing Xie Ren pondering and silent, the Grand Master added: "At this time, they were sent back from the group of killers from Shangling."

"What?" Xie Ren frowned and was startled. Then he thought of the urgent report he had just delivered. He was a little suspicious. Now that the Grand Master said this, it seems that the information was true.

So he immediately took out an urgent report from his arms and handed it to the Grand Tutor, saying, "Teacher, this is the urgent report that the Grand Tutor Shangling just sent with an eight hundred miles of fast horse. The student copied it!"

The Grand Master took it and took a look. He urgently reported it and wrote a lot. The roughly means that after receiving the information, Lord Qian from the prefect of Shangling took Shangling's yamen to fight hard, and three other people, including Yang Kaiwu, the son of the prime minister of the dynasty, came out of the doubtful bandits. The yamen did not suffer any casualties, and some nonsense like the emperor's grace was added later.

"Fart! It's just fart!" Master Han threw the urgent report on the table, stood up, walked back and forth a few times in the study, pointing to the note and said, "What's this? Ah! With his few officials who are not as good as Liu's yamen, can he wipe out everyone I sent out? There can be no casualties? This is simply fart!"

When Xie Ren saw the note, he also knew that the group of people were wiped out. After Master Han reminded him, he also felt something was wrong. After Master Han calmed down, he said: "Students also think that something was strange. If the person sent out really said that he was wiped out by the prefect's office and there were no casualties, then there were only two possibilities, one was that he lied, and the other was that there was another person! But... "Xie Ren rubbed the temples on both sides of his head and said: "I guess the first situation is unlikely. The person he saved was only Yang Kaiwu, and in fact there was an eighth princess. If the court investigated and asked, he knew that he did not need to deceive the court for the sake of greed for merit, then there was only one possibility!"

Master Han nodded in agreement and said, "Well, maybe as you said, when they met a group of strong men when they were on a mission, they were all silenced. And Prefect Shangling must have informed him and made him get a great achievement for nothing!" Master Han felt very distressed about the losses of these people. After all, he was his own people, and he had not figured out what was going on, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"Teacher!" Xie Ren looked at Master Han who was gritting his teeth beside him and said, "What should I do if I forget it?

"Forget it?" Master Han sneered: "How could it be fine? Did my people die in vain? I don't know if the prefect Shangling has anything to do with this matter yet. I still have to check it out carefully. I don't want to just let go of the people Shangling!"

"Then we will study his book tomorrow's morning court. Now all civil and military officials follow your leader. As long as you nod, you are afraid that those grass people who can't be moved to Ling?" Xie Ren said confidently.

"No!" Master Han shook his head and said.

Xie Ren was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why?"

Tai Shi Han leaned on the chair and said, "Now the palace knows that the princess and Yang Kaiwu went to Shangling together. How could the emperor not know the reason why the princess went? This memorial will be handed over to the emperor tomorrow morning. What a big deal if the princess was attacked? He and Old Yang will definitely send someone to investigate, and now he clearly supports Shangling's four families. If we rashly submit the memorial to object at this time, it will definitely cause suspicion, so we not only do not object, but also support!"

"Support?" Xie Ren was shocked. He couldn't react to the change in his attitude before and after the Grand Master's previous and after, so he said strangely: "Teacher, why is this? If we support it, wouldn't it make them even more like a fish in water?"

The Grand Master sighed helplessly and said, "This is also a helpless move. I thought a lot before you came. Now the emperor is already very wary of us, and he is determined to think of the glory of King Wu. The reason why he supports the four families and the man named Deng Long is probably because he saw a glimmer of opportunity in that person, so he would not hesitate to favor the Eighth Princess he loved the most. If we strongly support him, the emperor will definitely let go of his guard against us, and he will not doubt our heads when the princess was assassinated!"

He paused, and then said in a deep voice: "If we act in secret, no one will doubt us. So what we have to do next is to go to court to strongly support it tomorrow. At the same time, if the emperor proposes marriage, we must firmly oppose it. Second, we must arrange people immediately and go to Shangling to find out who has a deep hatred with him, Deng Long. We must take the hands of others to get rid of Deng Long!"

Xie Ren nodded and said, "The teacher means that we should retreat to advance. On the surface, we support them, but secretly we must not let them proceed smoothly. If it fails, without the amulet of the Eighth Princess, Deng Long will only be killed. At that time, who else in the world dares to propose any reforms rashly?

Master Han laughed and said, "No, yes, that's what I mean! I'll call someone tightly. The one named Deng Long, you can go down and arrange for the rest of the matter immediately!"

After Xie Ren left, Master Han looked at the dark night outside and said fiercely: "Deng Long, I will give you a chance. I want to see how big a wave you can make for me!"

Also at night, the core figures of the Taishi Party received a message: Tomorrow, the morning court will support the Ling Sijia! Of course, acting will have to act in the whole set, and some of them will be sing the white faces, of course, some of them will be sing the black faces.
