Recently, Jinwu Guard has been very lively.

Those who leave favors, those who rely on relationships, those who spy secretly, those who assassinate in the middle of the night...

Coming and going, it's like a vegetable market.

Lord Xu, the chief secretary of Jinwu Guard, sighed, "I have been in the Jinwu Guard for ten years and have never seen such a lively scene."

It was so lively that it was not real at all.

Logically speaking, anyone who enters the Jinwu Guard, regardless of whether it is the prince or the son or the children of aristocratic families, must be peeled off.

Xiao Yi "lived" into Jinwu Guard, as if he had entered his own home.

Except for the lack of freedom, there is everything else around.

Eat and drink delicious food every day, and splash ink, it is not like sitting in prison, but rather like going on vacation.

The boy below secretly asked Xu Changshi, "Young Master Yi who is locked inside, is there such a big plaque, won't you check it?"

Xu Changshi said "shush", "There is an explanation from above, keep him in mind and ensure his safety. No matter what is around you, you are forced to do so, you will be pushed. Be careful of having a life to make money."

Everyone was shocked.

This case is so serious.

Someone didn't understand and asked, "He killed the second master of the Tao family, but he didn't have to go through court to be punished. The next day, the Tao family asked about the case, how did we explain to our Jinwu Guard?"

Xu Changshi said with a stern face: "It's not your turn to worry about how the Tao family explains, as the superiors have their own opinions. Don't ask about this case, don't look at it, don't say... just think that there is no such person in the imperial prison. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Xu Changshi was worried and mentioned again: "Look at the outside. Recently, there has been a lot of trouble. Assassins all over the world are rushing towards Jinwu Guard. You guard the gate and you are not allowed to put a fly in. If the person inside has a few shortcomings, you can come and see him!"

"promise!"

...

Weiyang Palace!

Queen Tao is in a bad mood.

She asked Mei Shaojian sternly: "Why is Xiao Yi still alive? I asked you to solve him. How many days have it been, why haven't I heard good news yet?"

"Grandmaster calms down!"

Mei Shaojian’s heart is bitter.

"The empress clearly shows that the old slave secretly sent three groups of people to the Jinwu Guard. However, the Jinwu Guard was like an iron bucket and could not be poured in. More than half of the three groups of people were lost, and the remaining people fled from the capital to avoid the limelight."

It’s not that he is incompetent, but that Jinwuwei is too cruel.

Empress Tao and the Tao family have been in the court for 10 or 20 years, and Jinwuwei is the only place they can't get involved.

Buying temptations may have been useful in the past.

This time, no matter how much the price is paid, the bastards of Jinwuwei claim to be a naive person and don’t even want a penny.

Pooh!

Shameless!

Obviously someone said hello in advance and did not allow Jinwu Weierlang to receive benefits.

Queen Tao was in a bad mood, and she sternly said: "Three groups of people are not enough, then ten groups of people, thirty groups of people. In any case, I want Xiao Yi to be buried with my second brother!"

Young Master Mei frowned slightly and reminded carefully, "Empress, the quarrel is too much, I am afraid that your Majesty will be disturbed and angered. If your Majesty asks, wouldn't it make the Empress embarrassed?"

"What do you want to say? Could it be that you want to persuade me to be generous and give Xiao Yi a life?"

"I don't dare! I thought it's not appropriate to come forward in the palace, so it's better to invite the Tao family to take care of the young master Yi."

Queen Tao smiled coldly, "The Tao family has not been idle these days, don't you know?"

Young Master Mei lowered his head and whispered: "Old Nu just thinks that the Tao family can do better."

Queen Tao was silent and thought deeply.

After a while, she said, "No matter what, Xiao Yi must die. The thug she raised does not work, so try to ask the master to assassinate him from outside. Even if it arouses criticism from the court, it will be spared."

Young Master Mei opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything to persuade him.

It is obvious that the Queen is not calm enough.

At this time, the Queen couldn't listen to anything she said.

He had no choice but to take the order and retreat.

The third prince Xiao Chengyi was waiting outside the hall gate. When he saw Young Master Mei coming out, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Young Master Mei shook his head, "The Empress wants Xiao Yi to die, and she will pay any price."

The third prince Xiao Chengyi frowned, "The mother is not like this in normal times, why are she stubborn about this matter? That Xiao Yi has been locked up in the Jinwu Guard, and it will be a matter of time before death. Why bother to assassinate and get the handle on someone?"

Mei Shaojian explained: "Your Highness doesn't know that when the Empress was still in the Tao family, she had a very deep relationship with the Second Master. The Second Master was stabbed to death by Prince Yi in the Golden Palace. The Empress did not turn against His Majesty on the spot, and she was already extremely restrained. The Empress was eager to take revenge, and now no one can persuade her will work."

The third prince Xiao Chengyi punched the wall, "The Tao family misled me!"

"Your Highness, be careful!" Mei Shaojian reminded in a low voice.

The third prince Xiao Chengyi looked ashen, "My mother insisted on being arbitrary and insisted on assassination. Sooner or later, she would be scolded by her father. The second uncle died and she would die. In the end, the Jinwu Guard would give an explanation. Even if the mother and the second uncle had a deep relationship, wouldn't it be okay to wait? When the Jinwu Guard investigates clearly, is it impossible to punish the Ming Zhengpao? If you have to take risks, you are not afraid of backlash and you are not worried about someone who will benefit."

He was restless and uneasy.

He doesn't like taking risks, and the risks are too high.

What's more, he was unhappy when he was taking risks for the Tao family.

The Tao family is his mother family, it is true.

However, the Tao family is powerful and has too long hands, so even his prince's mansion has to make trouble.

The third prince Xiao Chengyi has long been dissatisfied with this.

While he wanted to take advantage of the power of the Tao family, he also wanted to cut off the Tao family's hand.

He is conflicted, struggling, struggling...

Young Master Mei’s eyes flashed and he said quietly: “This is in the palace. Your Highness is careful of the walls. The Empress suffers from losing her brother and acts a little too aggressively. Your Highness should be considerate.”

The third prince Xiao Chengyi said insincerely: "Thank you, Young Master Mei, reminds me. I understand. I just worry about my mother. This morning, I would like to pay my respects to my father, but my father didn't see me."

When Young Master Mei heard this, his heart thumped a few times.

He asked, "Do you know why Your Majesty has not seen you?"

"It was said that it was physical discomfort. However, I asked around and did not call the imperial physician for consultation in Xingqing Palace."

It is obvious that the so-called physical discomfort is simply an excuse.

Young Master Mei asked bluntly: "What are your highness worried about?"

The third prince Xiao Chengyi said carefully: "I am worried that my father is venting his anger! The Tao family is obviously the miserable, so they can take advantage of this opportunity to make the father feel guilty and force his father to order Xiao Yi to be executed. However, the mother and the Tao family insisted on assassination. The miserable became the perpetrator or committed the murder in Jinwuwei. Now, no matter how many reasons are, they are all unreasonable. How can I not worry about this situation?"

Young Master Mei nodded secretly, and the third prince’s concern made sense.

But the Empress and the Tao family were both crazy. They knew that assassination was not advisable, but they still insisted on assassination.

Jinwu Guard, the emperor's hawk, that place is equivalent to the emperor's territory.

Playing assassination in Jinwuwei is equivalent to not giving the emperor face.

It would be strange if the emperor was happy.

The emperor has not made any noise for the time being. This is because the Tao family is the miserable, and because of the face of Empress Tao, he will be open-minded.

If you don't stop in time and continue to assassinate, and when the emperor's patience is exhausted, there may be another turmoil.

It is extremely unfavorable to the Tao family and Queen Tao.

Mei Shaojian sighed and said to the third prince Xiao Chengyi: "Our family has tried our best to convince the Empress, but unfortunately the Empress is in disgrace and refuses to give up for the time being."

"Thank you for your hard work in Eunuch Mei! I just hope that my mother can calm down as soon as possible and not give anyone a handle."

"Does the third prince have any ideas on the Tao family?"

"I will go to the Tao family in person. My second uncle was assassinated, and I am also very sad. However, people cannot be resurrected by death, and living people are more important than dead people."

"What the Third Prince said is very much! I have worked hard on the Tao family to take a trip."

"You are kind to you, Eunuch Mei!"

...

After leaving the palace, the third prince Xiao Chengyi did not go to the Tao family immediately.

He thought for a while, knocked on the wall of the carriage and ordered the carriage to go to the Second Prince's Mansion.

He is going to see his second brother.

For such a big thing, my second brother has never shown up and has no attitude, which is heartbreaking.

The second prince Xiao Chengwen is drinking health soup.

When he learned that the third brother had arrived, he ordered his servants to "invite the third prince to the study."
