Chapter 178 (1/2)

In fact, they didn't wait until the third day, but at noon the next day, the soldiers who were in charge of escorting the exiled prisoners sent a message by flying pigeons. It was the three generations of the Xia family and Jiang Chao who committed suicide in exile.

The truth of this statement is unknown, but since the corpse is still there, no one cares whether it is true or not. A generation of princes and princes have fallen and come to such an end, but the common people are all clapping their hands and cheering. It's a great crime for a man who has lost his salary. Who knows what kind of heart he is?

When Qi Feng came back from delivering the news, he saw that Jiang Ruan just gave a faint reply and said, ”third sister-in-law, why do you look so casual? Are you not afraid that they have been saved? ”

”Cunning rabbit dead running dog cooking,” Jiang Ruan Hun does not care about sorting out the account book in front of her. Since she entered the house, housekeeper Lin really regarded her as the master mother of Jinying palace, and all the power in the house was handed over to Jiang Ruan. Even if she refused, the keys to the account books and the storeroom were still in her hands. She didn't want to deal with these things, but it was Xiao Shao's palace. It's not good to let go of it like this. She had one more task every day. She said: ”the Xia family has been Xuanli's sword in the imperial court for so many years, and there are many enemies. Since Xuanli has been regarded as an abandoned son by the Xia family, it is impossible for him to make any move. He was killed in exile, but it's not bad to find a name to commit suicide at will. It's just a pity that the liberation is so fast. ”

”You're wrong this time.” Qi Feng said with a smile: ”it's not the enemy of Xia family.”

”Xuanli has started,” Jiang Ruan said faintly, ”he has a lot of courage.”

”How do you know?” Qi Feng was stunned.

”Xuanli wanted to protect the secret road. He didn't dare to let the secret of the secret road out. Naturally, he had to sacrifice the Xia family and Jiang Chao. But the Xia family and Jiang Chao have been working under Xuanli for so many years, and they know what Xuanli wants to do. Naturally, there are some. Xuanli wants to kill people. How can he allow the Xia family to live? ” Jiang Ruan said: ”I think the Xia family thought that they had been exiled. The result was Xuanli's intention. They thought that one day they would make a comeback. They were so obedient. They didn't resist, but they sent themselves to a dead end.”

Qi Feng touched his nose and said, ”you can't miss ten.” He said: ”the royal guards they sent are staring at. When the Xia family and Jiang Chao know that Xuanli sent someone to kill them, their faces changed. It's a pity that they are too late to regret. Third sister-in-law, I've asked people to change the heads of Xia Jun and Jiang Chao back. ”He looked at Jiang Ruan's face and said,” what do you want to do with third sister-in-law? ”

Hearing Qi Feng's words, Jiang Ruan was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Qi Feng to do so. As a matter of fact, Xiao Shao's younger martial brothers have the same habit of protecting their weaknesses as Xiao Shao. Guan Lianghan and Mo Cong have a lot of complaints about Jiang Ruan, but Qi Feng has been really blessed with Jiang Ruan these days. He is a very intelligent person. He always appreciates people who are as smart as himself. In his eyes, Jiang Ruan is so smart that he really admires him. Since he regards Jiang Ruan as his own, Qi Feng secretly inquires about Xia Jun's and Jiang Chao's past affairs with Jiang Ruan. He is indignant at Jiang Ruan's experience, and then he understands why Jiang Ruan should suppress them in this way. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what Jiang Ruan had done. Instead, he appreciated her frugal nature. Naturally, he wanted to take a bad breath for Jiang Ruan. If Jiang Ruan wanted to do something, he would help him.

Qi Feng imagined that Jiang Chao and Xia Jun had a good time with Jiang Ruan. Now, Jiang Ruan must be sorry that he didn't kill his enemy himself. Maybe bringing the head back in this way can compensate her a little. Don't want to Jiang Ruan surprised after light way: ”it doesn't matter, how do you want to do it?”

”Don't you hate them?” See Jiang Ruan so cold, Qi Feng a Zheng, uncertain asked.

”People are dead. I've achieved my goal. It's just a waste of time to spend more time on it.” Jiang Ruan Dao.

Qi Feng thought about it and said, ”well, I'll burn these two heads clean. I don't want to let them go to earth.”

This man always looks calm and wise. It's rare to meet such childish words. Jiang Ruan couldn't help laughing and raised his lips slightly. Her usual smile is always with some cold, does not reach the fundus of the eye, such a light smile, eyes slightly bent, up the end of the eye slightly down pressure, it is a different bright color. Qi Feng couldn't help but be stunned. He seemed to be touched by something in his heart. Then he quickly lowered his head and dodged: ”in this case, I've done something. Third sister-in-law, I still have some things to go first.” Then he left in a hurry.

Although Jiang Ruan was a little strange that he left suddenly, he would not waste his mind on it. Now the Xia family has collapsed, but I don't know what Xuanli thought at the moment? She smiles a little, but a little joy floats in her heart: Xuanli, just wait, wait to see your great cause of family and country, slowly, slowly destroyed in my hands.

……

In the eighth Prince's mansion, Xuanli's face was dejected for the first time. The teacup in front of him had already been poured out. It was obvious that the master's family had just been angry.

”Your Highness, calm down.” Seeing that the master was like this, a group of staff at the bottom came forward one after another and said, ”although the Xia family has collapsed, it's not all lost. In the end, the fifth Prince hasn't made much noise. Don't hurt your highness with anger. Don't leave the Castle Peak without firewood.””What do you know?” Xuan Li's face was as deep as water: ”a Xia family, our palace is not so depressed. Our palace is angry that after so long, we haven't found out the people behind us, a bunch of rubbish!” He spoke in a hurry with a gasp in his voice. The staff looked at each other, and they did not dare to speak out.

Xuanli himself sent people to kill the Xia family and his son, but also in order to avoid future trouble. Such a move is tantamount to breaking his own arm. Although he said that the Xia family was not important, many things Xuanli had to do through the hands of the Xia government for so many years. It's a good Dao that is easy to use and used to. It's disgusting for him to have to change a Dao temporarily when he sees that the great cause of seizing the emperor is close at hand. What's more, the emperor seized all the wealth of the Xia family, which means that he didn't have any silver he could get from the Xia family every year.

From then on, where did the money come from?

What's more disturbing is that this time everything was planned to be perfect, but I don't know what went wrong in the middle. On the surface, it seems that Xia Jun and Jiang Chao are not doing things well, but Xuanli knows in his heart that there must be other reasons for the sudden arrival of the garrison in that city, but he doesn't know what the reason is, and he has also inquired about it, but it's a pity That official is an iron wood, how can't pry open, perhaps also really is what all don't know. There must be someone behind the control of this matter. Xuanli shudders at the thought that this person is so cunning and has been inviting the emperor into the urn.

All the time, he kept a gentle attitude. Even if he did cruel things, he always went step by step. But I don't know when to do anything will encounter obstacles, xuanlang's death, Heyi's death, summer's fall, Chen Guifei's loss. I don't know when to start, his advantages are all gone. It's like an invisible hand pushing all this, as if it was aimed at him alone. He is in the light, but others are in the dark. It seems that they regard him as a prey and lure him into the trap step by step.

Xuanli has always been patient and scheming. For the first time, he felt anxious. A series of things were like a huge stone, which disturbed his calm heart.

Xuanli's most intelligent staff at the bottom looked at him with some worry. Xuanli has been more stable than others. Now his heart is in a mess, which is taboo. Once you are upset, you are prone to make mistakes. If someone really manipulates all this, he will never let go of Xuanli's mistakes

Xuanli's face showed a little irritability. He had sent a lot of people to check, but nothing could be found out. How much power did the people behind hide so deeply? Originally, he and Xuanhua had the chance to seize the throne. I don't know when, but the emperor attached great importance to xuanpei. At first, he thought xuanpei was humble and had no support from his mother's family. No matter what, he was not qualified to compete with him for the position of crown prince. Now he thinks otherwise. The emperor's intimacy to xuanpei is the same as that of his beloved fourth prince. He even gave him the crown prince Liu Min, which is not a good sign.

Seeing Xuanli's changeable look, the staff became more and more gloomy and quickly comforted him: ”don't worry too much, your highness. No matter how powerful the man is, at least we still have the 800 wagons and military salaries. As long as you have the salaries, your highness will not lose.”

What's the salary? Xuanli calmed down slowly, and his depression gradually dissipated when he thought of the military pay. That's right. He's not a loser yet. He still has the 800 chariots of military pay. As long as he has the military pay, he can get most of the benefits if he sends it to the state of Tianjin. It will take some time for the Xia family's silver to be used to raise the army's salary again. He may not be a loser in this war. Although it can't be said that the royal guards are all caught, they are not sure to win. Nowadays, the military pay is constantly transported to the post station outside Beijing through the secret road. As long as you get to the post station, the 800 wagons' pay has nothing to do with the royal guards.

After calming down, Xuanli was about to call someone to ask about the pay. Then he saw a bodyguard running in. He looked completely flustered. He said in a high voice: ”Your Highness, something's wrong, something's wrong!”

Xuan Li tengdi suddenly stood up from his seat, and his heart beat very fast. He was still staring at the guard: ”what's the matter?”

”Military pay, military pay --” the voice of the guard almost cried out: ”military pay is gone --”

”pa”, Xuanli's teacup suddenly fell to the ground.

……

Different from the scene of the eighth Prince's house, a certain place is full of joy at the moment.

Jin San sat down on the ground, patted the dust on his clothes, and said: ”young lady, you are really clever. You can think of all the ways to snatch food. If I were the gentle prince, I would have been hanged by a rope. Even a boudoir woman can't compare with her. What a hero
