Chapter 76: Passionate Love and Anticipation; "If nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to find the remains of my father and brother this time!"

Xie Ci certainly knew the King of Tang.

After the Xie father and son were sentenced, someone in the court petitioned for a swift execution. Prince Tangshan volunteered and was in charge of supervising the entire execution process. He took Xie Xinzhong and his son out of the heavy-duty prison cell in Zhongdu Prison, covered their prison cart with black cloth, and transferred them to the execution ground in Dongda Prison for the execution.

It was precisely because of this that even the remains of the Xie family father and son were nowhere to be found. Xie Jiawei, Xie Yun, Xie Feng and others rushed back thousands of miles and made many arrangements, but in the end they were unable to receive the remains of the Xie family father and son.

The execution was inevitable, but the King of Tangshan and Xie Xinzhong had always been at odds, and there was no telling how the bodies of the father and son would be disgraced.

Feng Kun raised an eyebrow and nodded. "I'm glad you know. Your father and brother were originally going to be publicly executed. Tang Wang Li Jiaxin submitted a memorial stating that many people were still being deceived, so the execution should be carried out quickly and without publicity."

"After the execution, the body was not dumped in the East Suburbs mass grave as per custom, but was secretly transported to Tiekan Temple Villa."

As for what the Prince of Tang did with the bodies of Xie Xinzhong and his son, that was known only to him. Feng Kun had little interest in the matter and paid no attention. He only knew that "the Prince of Tang stayed at the villa for three days before returning home satisfied."

Xie Ci knew that Feng Kun said these words only to stir up his hatred towards King Tang, but the other party did not hide it. What he said was exactly the same as what Xie Ci had found out himself.

Xie Ci raised his eyelashes and looked at Feng Kun. Feng Kun looked down on him with a look of condescension in his eyes and eyebrows. He raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded.

The aggressive face of the man in front of him was feminine and gorgeous, as poisonous and seductive as a poppy, but Xie Ci knew that Feng Kun had persecuted countless subordinates by all means and yet he claimed that not a single soul had been wronged.

But he never framed loyal and good people.

The case of Xie Xinzhong was handled by Zheng Shoufang, Lu Xinyi, the King of Tangshan, and even Lin Guozhang and his son, but this arrogant and powerful eunuch never made a move. The funny thing is that Xie Xinzhong was loyal all his life, but in the end, only Feng Kun watched coldly and had no involvement at all.

Feng Kun was ruthless and cruel, and his attacks were so widespread, from top to bottom and from inside to outside. Surprisingly, there were only a few people who lived up to his reputation, and one of them was Xie Xinzhong.

In this comparison, Feng Kun is actually better than the old emperor?

It's so ironic.

Xie Ci lowered his eyelashes, then raised them again: "What do you want me to do?"

But Xie Ci didn't waste any words. Regardless of the environmental situation or personal feelings, they prompted him to continue to stand in Feng Kun's camp. He could not possibly help the old emperor.

Feng Kun smiled faintly: "Why are you in such a hurry? I'll have someone give it to you later."

Immediately change the subject.

At the exact time of Xu, the party in the study ended, and Xie Ci stood up and walked out of the main hall of Feng Kun's study. The cold wind blew through the hall, and the few strands of hair on his cheeks were blown by the wind. The night was deep in front of him, and the pines and cypresses were all hidden in the dark darkness. His dark and cold pupils stared quietly at the screen wall in front of him where the gloomy night and the bright yellow of the lamp tower intersected.

After a while, he walked down the stairs and left quickly.

…

Li Yi and Xie Ci can now enter and leave Feng Kun's residence openly.

The two sides are on the verge of a fight.

The old emperor was tough and put aside past grudges to quickly win over Lin Guozhang and invite Master Wen to come out of retirement. He then stabilized the situation at an extremely fast speed and quickly launched a counterattack.

Inside Yuquan Palace.

The Tang King has a nice name, but he's actually a short, fat man. He's dressed in a golden robe with a jade belt and four-clawed dragon pattern, and white-bottomed black boots. He has a round face and small eyes, but they sparkle. He's standing at the foot of the jade steps, smiling respectfully and saying, "Don't worry, my royal brother. Xie Ci and Li Yi are just Qingping's sudden rise, and their backgrounds are not clean. As for Feng Kun, I'm also fully prepared. If they don't die this time, I'll make sure they get some skin on!"

The King of Tang was getting fatter and fatter, and he looked a little bloated due to his indulgence in wine and women. He was also very smooth-talking, but his younger brother had always been smart, otherwise he would have become a rich and idle man long ago. How could he have stayed in power for so long?

The old emperor didn't like his smooth talk, and he disliked his sweaty face and the smell of alcohol even more. He frowned and shouted, "Be careful! Don't make any mistakes! Do you hear me?!"

He threw back what the Tang King had just presented him, "Drink less! You are not allowed to drink for the time being!"

The King of Tang knelt down and said, "I accept your order! Don't worry, my brother."

He flattered her, "Under the king's might, he is invincible. Those rebels are nothing but grasshoppers after autumn."

The old emperor slammed the table in frustration and said, "Go away, get out of here!"

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away!"

Not long after, the King of Tang came out of Yuquan Palace, patted his clothes that were messed up and soiled by his funny crawling and rolling posture, and walked leisurely. He took out a silk handkerchief with his fat hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and rewarded the eunuch who sent him out. He muttered a few words about why it hadn't snowed yet, and got on the car to return home.

At this time, he was still not very afraid. After all, he had been fighting with Lin Guozhang Feng Kun for many years, and this was not the first time.

He thought about it, curled his lips, and decided to go to the nearest Lin Guozhang's house first. After coming out a while, he would go to Wen Taishi's place. Everyone had to communicate and cooperate with each other.

King Tang stepped onto the human stool to board the carriage, and his fat golden body got into the magnificent carriage.

But what he never expected was that this time was different from every time before!

…

The second winter snow of this year finally came, with heavy flakes of snow falling down. The biting north wind whistled past, covering the sky and the earth, and not even a trace of sunlight could be seen.

No one knew that Feng Kun had been preparing for this day for many years.

He opened the largest secret compartment in the study, took out six documents, and placed them one by one on the large rosewood desk.

In the huge study, all the furnishings have been replaced with winter furnishings. The thick gorilla wool carpet absorbs all footsteps, and the charcoal fire in the fox fur brocade mat and the Xiangshan Da Ding ground dragon cloisonné hand warmer is burning vigorously.

Feng Kun, dressed in a scarlet-rimmed robe with a gilded Qilin pattern, stood behind a large desk. He stared at the six documents on the table with drooping eyelashes. After a moment, he raised his eyes coldly and tossed the second document on his left hand to Yin Luo, "Together with the information I found about Zhao Xi's bow and crossbow, give it to Xie Ci."

Outside, Feng Kun's party and the emperor's party, Lin Guozhang and Wen Taishi, were fighting over the Jiangning Grain City case and the Xuzi throat-slitting case, and the fight was between them, revealing their true colors.

But in fact, these are all illusions.

These six pieces of information were collected by Feng Kun in recent years, but he never used them to attack his political enemies. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he did not even continue the investigation after discovering any clues.

It is prepared as a trump card for today!

Feng Kun glanced down and said, "Give the canal boat case to Li Yi, the copper mine case to Cao Shan and Peng Yuan, and Li Shusheng to Huang Wei and Chen Shen."

He threw out several documents, and Yin Luo and Huang Xin quickly stepped forward to catch them, "Yes!"

Feng Kun raised his eyes coldly and said, "Tell Li Yi to continue investigating the Liangcheng case! Have Liang Sicheng and Chen Wenfu cooperate with him."

This Li Yi has too many thoughts, so let him take care of him.

In comparison, Feng Kun still prefers people like Xie Ci. "He wants his father and brother to be vindicated. I know that as long as he can do his best to the end, I can give him all these."

Feng Kun sneered and said, "Amnesty! Our Majesty has always been disgusting."

As for Lin Guozhang?

"Old man Lin Dongyang has been cautious his entire life, but he has a son who is incredibly bold."

Feng Kun's red lips curled up into an icy arc: "Starting from him, it will definitely not go wrong."

Uncle Lin was born at the best time of the Lin family. The Huai'an Lin family was thriving throughout his life. Uncle Lin successfully surrendered his daughter to the emperor. After that, Concubine Lin gave birth to the third prince and was once crowned queen. Uncle Lin seized the opportunity and rose to prominence, becoming powerful in the court.

Wherever Uncle Lin went, everyone had to respectfully call him Uncle Lin. Even if there was a mess occasionally, he would clean it up.

When a sedan chair is carried by everyone, it is always easy and smooth to get things done. People who have not experienced ups and downs are also most likely to have a wrong understanding of their own abilities and become more and more courageous.

Feng Kun stared at the several piles of information that Yin Luo had taken over. The first one was for Xie Ci. After Yin Luo took it over, he picked up a piece of information that had just been found out a few days ago from the large desk, opened the envelope and put it in.

——The latter is information about the bow and crossbow that killed Xue Rongan and the other man that day, and the craftsman has already figured it out.

The crossbow Zhao Xi had in his hand could kill with a single strike of 100 meters through the throat, shocking even Yin Luo. It was no simple device. As soon as this incident came to light, Feng Kun immediately ordered someone to investigate the crossbow.

The result is out. There is only one craftsman who can do it. He is an old man named Mo, who joined the Ordnance Department five years ago.

The Military Equipment Department of the Ministry of War happened to be under the control of the King of Tang.

The information Feng Kun had originally intended to use against King Tang by giving to Xie Ci happened to be the clues he had found about King Tang reselling military equipment.

This repeating crossbow must have come from the Armoury. One dares to sell and the other dares to buy. He is almost certain that the person who bought it must have been Uncle Lin, and he bought it without the knowledge of Father-in-law Lin.

So what else did he do?

Feng Kun doesn't believe it and only uses the same crooked ways.

There were two documents on Feng Kun's desk, one of which belonged to Lin Guojiu. He had already found direct evidence, and more than one.

Feng Kun narrowed his eyes slightly, and his slanted phoenix eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He glanced at the large and small things in Yin Luo and Huang Xin's hands and on the table, including Lin Guozhang, Wen Taishi, Wu Boyi, Zhang Yuanrang, Yi Zhongling, etc., and behind these people was the old emperor sitting high up.

"Come one by one!"

There is always one or two or three people who can ignite the whole audience and achieve his goal.

Just wait and see how he overthrows this disgusting Wei Dynasty and tears the cold-blooded and cruel old man on the throne into pieces!

…

Xie Ci only received the information delivered by Yin Luo personally after he returned home.

This young man, tall and thin as a pine tree, with a posture tempered by countless battles, yet calling himself a eunuch, handed the brown leather seal in his hand to Xie Ci and said, "The Prime Minister said today that you want your father and brother to be cleared of their names, and he knows. As long as you succeed, you can give it to me in the future."

Feng Kun was too proud to let Yin Luo relay the message, but Yin Luo did convey the thanks.

After saying this, he turned and left silently.

Xie Ci didn't comment. He took out something from the cowhide envelope, lowered his eyes to glance at it, and raised his eyebrows.

The two large lanterns under the eaves of the mansion's gate swayed gently in the cold wind. Xie Ci took a look at them, then put the things away, held them in his hands, and quickly walked into the house.

He walked along the winding corridor into the gate of the large study. As soon as he passed the screen wall, he saw a room full of warm yellow light pouring in, illuminating most of the courtyard. The large window on the left was half open for ventilation. From this angle, he could just see Gu Guan writing something at the large desk. His fair cheeks looked particularly soft and warm under the light.

He suddenly became happy. The warm yellow light seemed to shine into his heart, instantly driving away the cold wind and snow that had been there all day.

"Thank you! You're back~"

Gu Wan also saw him, threw down his pen, stood up, and shouted at him with a smile: "Come in quickly, we are having hot pot today!"

It was as if the world had transitioned from a silent world to a sound channel, and the whole world suddenly came alive.

Xie Ci couldn't help but smile. He quickly stepped onto the steps, pushed the door open and walked into the house. The warm smell of charcoal fire immediately enveloped him. He went to wash his hands and face, and then asked curiously: "Why don't you change your clothes?"

Gu Guan went out to work today, and chatted with Kou Chong for a while when she came back. However, Kou Chong was lazy and kept pretending to be dead. But Gu Guan was not angry at all. She thought that this man would be useful one day. She ordered him to be well fed and well drunk, and to chat with him whenever she had time, all with a smile on her face.

She came back humming a little tune, washed her face, and with a long white towel tied on her head, she strolled around in her crimson official uniform. When she heard Xie Ci's question, she laughed and said, "I like it!"

Xie Ci couldn't help but laugh.

Ever since that day, I always felt something was different. When we were together, we began to feel like we were in love.

Every frown and smile makes each other happy.

After Xie Ci washed his hands and face, the two of them went to the dining room hand in hand to eat. It was a simple meat and bone hot pot, with green onions, vegetables, and mushrooms grown in the house. The two of them ate with gusto.

Xie Ci boiled some vegetables for Gu Wan. She liked to eat vegetables first and then meat. He picked out some thin slices of beef and fish, boiled them, and put them in another bowl for her.

As for Gu Wan, he picked up a big meat bone and stuffed it into his bowl. People who fight in the war have to eat more meat, otherwise they will not get enough calories.

Xie Ci took a bite of the meat bone, glanced at her with a smile, and suddenly leaned over and whispered, "Wanwan, do you like me a little more?"

Gu Wan once said that they wanted to start over, fall in love, and fall in love with him little by little.

Gu Guan glanced at him sideways. Under the light, white steam was bubbling, and her eyes were particularly bright in the light. Gu Guan reached out and pinched his cheek, shaking it several times, "Yes."

She laughed and whispered back, then stretched out her hand and gestured, "There are so many!"

Xie Ci suddenly became happy. The coldness and gloom he had brought back from the icy and snowy outside the door completely disappeared from his eyes. His eyes were as beautiful as a sea filled with stars, and he couldn't hide his smile.

I don’t know who took the initiative, maybe both of them took the initiative. They smiled, leaned close to each other, and kissed each other gently.

It’s a very sweet feeling.

Should this be considered the honeymoon period?

Never mind, just follow your heart.

Gu Guan smiled and held his chin in his hand. He felt respected and had an independent personality. Suddenly, he felt that this feeling was so beautiful.

You like me and I like you, but it's a bit too simple.

Now I feel like it suddenly has a foundation, and this emotion grows on it, becomes full, and countless beautiful things are born from it.

On this night, Gu Guan suddenly had expectations. Xie Ci would give her such a surprise. Perhaps in the near future, she would fall deeply in love with him like he did!

Then she was like a hardworking little bee, moving all the emotions over bit by bit and consolidating them.

The passionate emotion of being together through life and death was so shocking that Gu Guan still felt shocked when she recalled everything that happened on the day of Xie Ci.

She began to look forward to the day when her emotions would reach that level.

It must have been a very shocking experience!

However, let’s not talk about this for now. She should just enjoy the present moment.

This sweet feeling is so wonderful.

Gu Guan smiled and said, "It's sour." What's sour? It's the sour smell of love.

Unexpectedly, Xie Ci picked up the meat bone and sniffed it, "It's not sour, the meat is good. Is yours sour?"

He even picked up the bone and meat she had sucked and sniffed it twice. "It's not sour, it's all good."

Hahahahahahahaha.

Gu Wan was amused by him, "Eat quickly, you fool!"

Hurry up and grab the bone back, otherwise this guy might even lick it, hahahaha.

…

After finishing their meal, the two walked hand in hand in the courtyard to digest their food. It had snowed heavily today, and the eaves, roofs, and treetops were covered with a layer of plain white snow. The wind blew over, bringing a cool and cold chill.

Gu Wan said, "Second sister-in-law is back and will be here the day after tomorrow."

The smile on Xie Ci's lips couldn't help but fade. After a while, he said, "That's good. Second sister-in-law came back just in time."

After the sweet laughter in private, there are still things to be done in public.

Xie Ci took Gu Wan's hand and returned to the study. He opened the brown kraft paper envelope and pulled out all the secret reports, big and small.

"King Tang."

Xie Ci's brows turned cold, his two dark pupils reflected the lanterns and snow outside the corridor, and his two orange pupils seemed to be frozen.

Gu Guan took it and looked through it one by one. There was the clue that Feng Kun had first noticed that King Tang was reselling military equipment for profit, as well as a list of officials of all ranks in the Department of Craftsmen, inspection rules, and a floor plan of the Pingxiang Ordnance Manufacturing Office. There was all kinds of information, big and small.

Xie Ci said quietly, "I never knew they were so close to me."

The King of Tang lived in Tiekan Temple Villa, which was very close to Tiekan Temple Prison, about five miles away.

At that time, Xie Ci and all members of the Xie family were imprisoned in the prison outside Tiekan Temple, which was only five miles away.

Xie Ci suddenly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them after a long time, his eyes showing some red bloodshot.

However, Xie Ci quickly calmed down because he had known this news for a long time.

The moment Xie Ci received this information, he had already made up his mind: "It's better to act quickly than slowly! We should try to scare the enemy off by making a move."

Feng Kun would never do anything without a purpose, but she just didn't know how deep the pit would be.

But no matter how deep it is, it is enough for Xie Ci!

He will kill his second enemy with his own hands!

Xie Ci couldn't help but clench his fist, his voice a little hoarse: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to find the bones of my father and brother this time!"

The author has something to say:

Ah Xiu is here. Don't worry, we'll still be the shining Xie Ci in the end. If you're worried about a baby, don't worry! Tempered gold only shines brighter. Remember the young man with a silver spear blocking the door at the beginning? Ah Xiu looked back, and sure enough, it was the young man who had touched my heart so deeply.

Heart to heart launch! See you tomorrow, babies~ (/≧▽≦)/
