It was warm in the carriage. After Feng Renji entered, he suddenly felt comfortable all over and could not help but feel a little sleepy.
He barely slept all night yesterday. After sitting in the cold alley all night, Feng Renji was already exhausted.
But he also knew that boarding the carriage today was not to rest, but a matter of life and death. Therefore, Feng Renji had to brace himself.
Ying Zheng glanced at Feng Renji, frowned and said lightly: "Why are you in such a mess?"
Feng Renji still had a lot of dirt on his body, his hair was a little messy, and he had not slept all night, so his energy was also very low.
Feng Renji saluted and said sincerely: "I... The facts I want to report are too important, so I didn't sleep last night, tossing and turning, and lost my mind. Therefore, I am not in good spirits today..."
Ying Zheng chuckled: "If you want to impeach others, will you toss and turn?"
Ying Zheng said this with a smile, but there was a lot of irony in his words.
Feng Renji spends two days out of three impeaching others. And those who were impeached were without exception, either important ministers or princes, as if people with low official positions could not get into his eyes at all.
Such a person must have been bold enough for a long time, right? How could he toss and turn and lie awake at night because of the impeachment?
Ying Zheng was a little unhappy about Feng Renji's impeachment, but it was not enough to punish him.
First of all, Ying Zheng still doesn’t know who Feng Renji wants to impeach. What if the evidence is conclusive and his words are justified?
Secondly, it seems inappropriate that Feng Renji, who had just praised Feng Renji yesterday, got furious when he heard that he was going to impeach the young master today.
Thirdly, Feng Renji took the initiative to impeach in private this time instead of making it public in public, which is already some progress.
Of course, part of the reason is that Feng Renji has impeached a lot of people. Ying Zheng is no longer surprised by this weird thing, so his acceptance ability has improved a lot.
I saw Feng Renji standing there, his lips trembling as he said, "Your Majesty, I... I want to risk my life to impeach a young master."
After saying this, Feng Renji felt that his legs were a little weak and he could hardly stand.
He had also impeached important ministers and princes before. But those impeachments were all forced by others. Although he knew that the people behind him would not protect him, he still had a backer in his heart.
This time is different. This time he himself wants to impeach Hu Hai. Feng Renji felt like an egg hitting a stone.
In addition... in past impeachments, he deliberately found some innocuous problems and just got over it. But this time, Hu Hai is to be impeached to death.
If the impeachment is successful, Hu Hai may not be able to show up again and he will survive.
If the impeachment fails and Hu Hai is not injured, he will definitely die without a burial place.
Therefore, Feng Renji was afraid.
He was scared.
And Ying Zheng looked at Feng Renji strangely.
He also noticed Feng Renji's fear, so he was a little confused.
Logically speaking, how many people did Feng Renji impeach? Why are you so afraid today? Could it be that the person to be impeached today is particularly different and particularly scary to him?
As a result, Ying Zheng couldn't help but start to pay attention to it.
Feng Renji gritted his teeth and forced himself to say those two words: "Young Master Hu Hai, I want to impeach Young Master Hu Hai."
After saying this, Feng Renji seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and his whole body felt weak.
He took a deep breath and said weakly: "Master Hu Hai once sent dead soldiers to hunt down the messengers from Shangjun's courtyard. The purpose was to prevent the messengers from reporting the news, so that when your Majesty arrives in Beidi County, Mr. Fu Yao will have nothing. I know it, so I made a big fool of myself.”
After hearing this, Ying Zheng's expression suddenly turned cold.
He did not verify Feng Renji's words, but based on his intuitive judgment, he believed Feng Renji.
Because this kind of thing really seems to have been done by Hu Hai.
Ying Zheng was filled with anger: Hu Hai, this is bullying the emperor. To play with the emperor in the palm of his hand? It was simply audacious.
However, Ying Zheng did not show his anger. He still looked at Feng Renji coldly and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
Feng Renji said: "More than a hundred steps north of the teahouse, there is a deep alley. There is a messenger covered in blood. He is a craftsman from Shangjun Courtyard. He was chased by Master Hu Hai's soldiers along the way. Just now Flee to Yiqu City, Your Majesty will know after asking."
Ying Zheng immediately said to the window: "Here comes someone."
A confidant, a young eunuch, came in.
Ying Zheng said: "Go to the deep alley north of the tea house and bring him to me."
Feng Renji felt uneasy. He was a little worried that the craftsman had left.
However, it actually took less than a quarter of an hour from the time I woke up to the time I boarded His Majesty's carriage. In such a short time, the craftsman might not have woken up yet.
Feng Renji made the right bet.
Takumi was brought up. He was indeed covered in blood, and he was indeed not awake yet. He lost too much blood and was exhausted, so he fainted.
…………
The courtiers had no idea what was going on. They stretched their necks and looked nervously in the direction of the carriage.
When Feng Renji just boarded the carriage, the carriage was still moving forward slowly, but suddenly, it stopped and stopped moving.
Immediately afterwards, a young eunuch hurried away with his guards.
The courtiers had a premonition that Feng Renji might be coming for real this time.
Feng Renji often impeached others, and most of the impeachment contents were ridiculous.
The third uncle of the Li Si family's fire servant stole the apricots from the neighbor's house.
Why did Dr. Chun Yuyue use fairy paper to go to the toilet?
But this time, the court officials felt that His Majesty had begun to pay attention to it.
After a short time, the young eunuch came back again and entered the carriage with a man covered in blood.
The courtiers talked a lot and asked each other who this person was, but no one could answer.
Among all the people, the most calm one is Hu Hai.
He looked at everyone with confused faces, and suddenly felt like everyone was drunk and I was alone.
With a smile on his face, he was thinking: This Feng Renji is quite capable of spending a lot of money. In order to falsely accuse Fusu, a seriously injured person was brought in. Well, it seems that this person can be of great use. I just don’t know how he falsely accused Fusu.
When Hu Hai was thinking wildly, suddenly a young eunuch came out of the carriage.
The young eunuch looked left and right, then suddenly raised his hand to Li Shui and said, "Master Banished Immortal, Your Majesty has an order to select someone who is familiar with the personnel of Shangjun Courtyard to come in."
Li Shui was slightly startled: "What does this mean?"
There are many people in Shangjun Courtyard, especially recently, a large number of talents have been recruited. If anyone is familiar with human affairs, none are more than Niu Dao and Cang Fu.
Cang Fu is the housekeeper of Shang Jun's courtyard, and he is extremely serious and responsible.
The calf is the gatekeeper and knows everyone who comes in and out.
However, these two people were left behind in Xianyang City and did not follow.
Li Shui thought for a while and said: "The person who knows the most about people here is none other than me. Let me go and have a look."
But the young eunuch shook his head and said to Li Shui: "Your Majesty has an order not to allow the banished immortal to come in in person. You need to choose another person."
Li Shui scratched his head and looked at Wu Ma who had been following him.
Wu Ma is the bodyguard of Shang Jun's Courtyard. This time His Majesty made a western tour, and Wu Ma came with Li Shui as a personal bodyguard.
Among the people present, apart from Li Shui, the one who is most familiar with human affairs is probably Wu Ma.
So Li Shui said to Uma: "Go and have a look. If your Majesty has anything to ask you, just answer him honestly."
Uma responded and got into the carriage.
He was the guard of Shang Jun's Courtyard, and he had seen a lot of great things in the world with Li Shui. But after getting into the train, I was still a little uneasy.
This...perhaps is the majesty of the emperor.
Ying Zheng asked calmly: "Are you a craftsman from Shangjun Courtyard?"
Wu Ma saluted, and then said: "Yes, the villain is the group of people who followed the banished immortal in the beginning."
Ying Zheng nodded and pointed at Si Ma lying not far away: "Go and have a look. Do you recognize this person?"
There was a mat under the horse and a blanket covering him. Two palace maids were wiping the blood from his face.
The blood stains have almost been wiped clean.
Uma walked over, took one look, and was shocked: "Brother?"
Ying Zheng exclaimed and asked, "Is he your brother?"
Uma said: "Yes, we are brothers. Your Majesty, my brother is..."
Ying Zheng said calmly: "He was killed by a traitor and was seriously injured. But don't worry, he won't die with me."
The golden words and the light words made Uma's heart completely calm.
Ying Zheng asked Wu Ma again: "He is the craftsman of Shangjun Courtyard? What is he responsible for?"
Wu Ma said: "My brother is a good horseman. With a good horse, he can travel thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred in a night. Therefore, he is mainly responsible for delivering messages."
"Not long ago, the Exalted Immortal heard that His Majesty was going to visit the West, so he ordered his brother to come to Beidi County to deliver a message to Young Master Fu Yao so that Young Master Fu Yao could be prepared."
"But...but after arriving in Beidi County, I didn't see my brother. Mr. Fu Yao said that my brother had never been here. These days, the villain has been feeling uneasy."
Ying Zheng nodded.
After hearing this, the truth is basically revealed.
Si Ma, the messenger, must be being hunted.
And the person who is chasing him is Hu Hai? Although there is no conclusive evidence now, it is not difficult to deduce.
After all, during this western tour, except for Hu Hai who was prepared, Fu Yao and Fu Su both looked at a loss and obviously did not receive any news.
If the prediction is correct, the messenger sent to Fusu should also have been killed.
Ying Zheng said to Wu Ma: "You can stay here for now. I will let you go after I have taken care of everything."
Uma responded tremblingly, and then took care of his brother in the corner.
Ying Zheng then said to the young eunuch: "Go ten miles out of the city and set up camp. The army will stop advancing for the time being."
The young eunuch responded and went to deliver the order.
All civil and military officials were a little puzzled: Why didn't you leave all of a sudden? Don’t you want to go back to Xianyang?
Soon after settling down, two groups of cavalry galloped away into the distance.
The courtiers were a little puzzled, wondering what those cavalry were going to do.
Hu Hai was also a little puzzled: Are they going to arrest Fusu? But did you go the wrong way? Fusu is in the west, the direction they are going... huh? It seems to be Shangjun?
Hu Hai was not mistaken. These two teams were going to Shangjun to investigate the matter of Hu Hai's dead soldiers.
When Hu Hai left Shangjun, he must have taken away all the dead soldiers. But Shangjun must have left some clues.
Such as... how many dead soldiers there are approximately, what their names are, and where they are active.
After these two groups of cavalry left, the entire camp became completely quiet.
Ying Zheng did not show up again. Feng Renji didn't show up again, and even Wu Ma, who was called in, didn't show up again either.
All the ministers were talking about it.
On the first day, there was no news.
The next day, no news.
On the third day, there was still no news.
Hu Hai couldn't sit still.
Although it is theoretically inferred that Fusu is the unlucky one this time. But for some reason, Hu Hai always felt uneasy.
Especially in the past few days, some strange things have happened around him.
He often summoned some dead soldiers. But after those dead soldiers left, there was no news from all of them, and they were never seen back again.
Even when Hu Hai summoned the dead soldiers outside, nine times out of ten, he could not be contacted.
It's like they disappeared.
Could it be that...these dead soldiers rebelled? But why did they suddenly rebel? Why did everyone suddenly rebel?
Hu Hai was puzzled.
Now, there are only two dead soldiers left in his camp.
Hu Hai wanted to send them out to find out the news, but he didn't dare, for fear that they would also rebel.
These two dead men swore that they would never betray Hu Hai. Even to the point of dying.
What they said was sincere, and it was not a lie to commit suicide.
Hu Hai gradually felt relieved.
He pointed at one of them and said: "Go out and have a look, ask the eunuchs and guards around my father, and see what my father means recently."
The dead man responded.
No surprise, he didn't come back.
Hu Hai gritted his teeth and sent out the other dead soldier.
He was the only one left in the tent.
Hu Hai felt that he had become a loner.
He sat guarding an oil lamp until midnight. He couldn't stand it anymore and planned to go out and see for himself.
You can't... betray yourself, right?
Hu Hai hid a short sword in his arms, and then came out cautiously.
Everything was normal outside, with tents one after another and soldiers patrolling back and forth.
Nothing wrong with that.
Hu Hai's heart relaxed a little.
He slowly moved closer to Ying Zheng's tent.
As a result, at this time, someone said from behind: "Master Hu Hai, Your Majesty has invited me."
Hu Hai was startled, turned around suddenly, and found that the person standing behind him was the young eunuch beside Ying Zheng.
Hu Hai asked: "What's wrong with my father?"
The young eunuch smiled dryly and said: "How can I know the emperor's thoughts? Master, please come with me."
Hu Hai responded and followed the young eunuch forward. But the further he walked, the harder his heart beat.
Sometimes people's sixth sense is so magical.
Hu Hai subconsciously felt that something was going to happen.
He stopped and said to the young eunuch: "I... I have a gift for my father. Please wait for me. I'm going to get it."
Hu Hai turned around and left, but as soon as he turned around, two tall guards came over and held Hu Hai hostage, one on the left and the other on the right.
The young eunuch still had a smile on his face: "Sir, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. I can just take this gift for you."
