Chen Pingping looked at him without any pity: "You have been with me for twelve years, before you die, I will give you a chance to say the last word."
The head of the first office turned slightly pale, and immediately returned a calm smile. Looking at the adult who had promoted him from an ordinary clerk to the third person in the Overwatch Council, he said sincerely: "Don't trust women, they are all lunatics, and they are not naturally suitable for politics. This business."
After saying this, he slapped his own sky cap with his backhand, and with a click, his body suddenly went limp, and he lay down on the wooden table without breathing.
This is his sincere words. Even if the night conversation between the eldest princess and Zhuang Mohan was not heard by Fan Xian, who was deliberately inquiring, but looking at Chen Pingping's expression, he knew that the eldest princess had already been the focus of observation in the courtyard. The moment he crazily betrayed Yan Bingyun, Zhu Ge, the leader of the first place, was doomed to die.
The corpse was dragged out, so naturally there were relevant regulations to deal with the follow-up affairs. Chen Pingping glanced at the paper in front of her again, shook her head and said, "Continue to analyze, who is so crazy to uncover everything."
He could be calm, but the other seven hosts were still a little touched when they saw a colleague who had worked together for more than ten years end in such a dismal way. They came back to their senses after a while, and replied: "The day before yesterday, Dongyi City The mission was the last to leave, and this matter happened today, I think it has something to do with Dongyi City."
"Yes, according to the results of the investigation in the palace, no matter what, the assassin who entered the palace at night was definitely related to Dongyi City when His Majesty hosted a banquet for the envoys of the two countries."
"It was that night that the assassin appeared in Guangxin Palace and killed a court lady of the eldest princess. It was probably at that time that he overheard the conversation between the eldest princess and Zhuang Mohan."
"The reason why Dongyi City is making rumors now is that it hopes that the court will be in chaos for a while. After all, this time, the two states have not reached a truly effective agreement like the Northern Qi Dynasty, so Dongyi City is very afraid of the court sending troops."
"Furthermore, once this matter is revealed, His Majesty will be shocked, and the agreement with Northern Qi will probably be torn up. Dongyi City, which has been in the middle of the gap since the war between the two countries, must be the most happy to see this situation."
"Whether it is from the motivation or the final effect, Dongyi City is the most likely target to make a move, and it may also obtain the greatest benefit from this matter."
"The only question is that the Xishan Zhifang lost the paper last night. How can Dongyi City write so many copies overnight? You must know that most of their potential personnel in the capital are under our surveillance. Those who are not in our There shouldn't be that many people in charge." Yan Ruohai analyzed, "To accomplish this overnight, at least forty well-trained people are needed."
Chen Pingping listened to the methodical analysis of her subordinates, smiled slightly, and said nothing, the room suddenly became quiet.
After a while, someone suddenly asked, "What about the substitution agreement?"
"Continue." Chen Pingping said lightly.
"In order to catch Xiao En, my lord ruined a pair of legs, but now because the eldest princess sold Xiao En lightly, he wants to let Xiao En go back. This subordinate is not reconciled."
"Not reconciled? Is there any way you can exchange Yan Bingyun alive?" Chen Pingping said with a sneer: "Exchange must be exchanged. We will send Xiao En alive to the hands of the Northern Qi people, but we can only let him Take a look at Beiqi Shangjing sky."
Everyone knew that the dean had a plan, and nodded slightly. These people were unwilling to return Xiao En's hands to Northern Qi no matter what. That old guy was the leader of secret agents in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The information in his mind, even today, would pose a great threat to the Qing Kingdom. If it wasn't for the fact that the person captured by Northern Qi was Yan Ruohai's son everywhere, these ruthless Qing Guosecret probes would definitely go to the dean to persuade His Majesty to let the unfortunate person captured by Northern Qi die for the country.
Yan Ruohai also knew this, so deep in his heart he was extremely grateful to the dean, and suddenly asked, "Where is the eldest princess?"
"We are loyal to His Majesty. We don't know about what His Majesty has not said, and we will not do it." Chen Pingping finally made a decision.
"Do you want to capture the mission from Dongyi City?"
"What are you arresting for? Acknowledging the embarrassment of the imperial court? Let the Eight Offices do this matter. It is said that the remnants of ancient Yue in the south are unwilling to be reconciled to the country's destruction. They have spread rumors in Beijing. Now, before killing, remember to let the people of the whole capital watch the excitement." Chen Pingping said lightly.
All the subordinates led the way, disinfected, spread rumors, and arrested people. Only Yan Ruohai dragged it to the end. He looked at the dean and said calmly: "There is no poison in this world that can keep Xiao En alive all the way, and then die in front of the Northern Qi monarchs."
Chen Pingping said, "What do you mean?"
Yan Ruohai frowned: "I know my son, and he will not agree with His Majesty's actions. I think he would be happy to exchange Xiao En's life."
Chen Pingping looked at him coldly: "You have to avoid suspicion on this matter and not participate in the discussion. As for how to do it, it is my business. Yes, there is indeed no poison in this world that can be so miraculous, even if Lao Fei is now It can't be done in Kyoto either. However, Xiao En must die, and Yan Bingyun must come back."
He smiled and said, "Don't forget, I kicked your son to the north four and a half years ago."
Yan Ruohai was about to say something, but was stopped by Chen Pingping's cold wave, and said flatly: "I was going to wait for Bingyun to come back, and then let him take Zhuge's place. Zhuge could have lived a few more days, but today These pieces of paper are flying everywhere, and there is a lot of discussion in the capital, and I will always give you an explanation."
Chen Pingping sighed: "What was hidden in the shadows was suddenly known to everyone in the entire capital. Such an absurd and effective method will probably force His Majesty to give an explanation to the courtiers who know about it."
Chen Pingping coughed twice and said, "You should know that there is a commissioner in the courtyard. I told you last time that I am going to let him go to Beiqi."
Yan Ruohai frowned: "It's very dangerous." He understood that the dean wanted to entrust the task of killing Xiao En to that chief.
"If you don't think about it, you won't be able to do it." Chen Pingping's eyes looked a little tired, "If he can succeed, I hope that one day in the future, you can help him take care of this yard."
Yan Ruohai finally understood, was slightly startled in his heart, did not dare to say more, knelt in front of Chen Pingping's wheelchair, and nodded emphatically.
…
…
"Who made it?" Chen Pingping pushed the wheelchair to the window, slowly lifted a corner of the black cloth with her skinny fingers, and looked out of the window like a child. The autumn rain that lasted for several days stopped long before yesterday, and it was sunny outside again, and the imperial palace in the distance was shining with golden light again.
Leaning halfway on the wheelchair, he looked at the paper in his hand through the light from the corner of the black cloth, and couldn't help shaking his head: "It's fine to say that she colluded with Bei Qi, why bother to say that she raised the first three Qian, fornicating palace curtains?" It was naturally inconvenient to discuss these issues concerning the reputation of the royal family in the previous meeting.
Chen Pingping looked at the neat words on the paper like matchsticks and laughed: "What a nonsense, this word is too ugly... However, the handwriting is really like that idiot in Dongyi City."
"Dongyi City, Dongyi City, are you really you?" He said to himself in his heart, with a smile on his face: "Sigu Jian was just a fool back then, not this kind of lunatic. The one who dealt with the eldest princess Crazy girl, this method works quite well, no matter what kind of jade and porcelain he smashes and puts them in a pile, no one can tell them apart. But if you mess up His Majesty's regulations, His Majesty will be unhappy."
No matter whether it is Chen Pingping, who is considered exhaustive, or the insidious and crazy eldest princess, it is impossible to imagine that such a big event is actually caused by the pair of master and servant.

Fan Xian watched the aftermath of this incident calmly and even indifferently. The pornographic literature he dictated seemed to be an unbearable burden in this country. No matter what the emperor's true thoughts were deep in his heart, and he didn't care how much the eldest princess's real strength would be hurt, but what he wanted finally happened.
Very quietly, the eldest princess moved out of the palace and returned to her fief Xinyang. As for the conflicts and struggles within the royal family because of this matter, it was beyond Fan Xian's consideration.
Just as Wu Zhu calculated at the beginning, before the princess left Beijing, His Majesty really rewarded him generously. At the same time, Fan Xian also got a lot of benefits. Although it didn't matter on the surface, it seemed that His Majesty only praised him for winning face for the country. .
After the decree came down, Fan Xian immediately changed from the eighth-rank Xielu Lang to the fifth-rank Taiyuan Fengzheng.
In the flower hall, Fan Xian held the will, scratched his head, and asked his father, "What does Fengzheng do in the Imperial Academy?"
"To teach the students of Taixue." Fan Jian also felt that this purpose was too baffling, shook his head and said, "You didn't even have a formal imperial examination, so why did you enter Taixue to do Fengzheng?"
"Is there no need to take the imperial examination next year?" Fan Xian asked with a smile.
"That's right." Fan Jian seemed a little disinterested, and said indifferently, "If you don't pass the imperial examination, you will not be on the right track. It seems to be very smooth now, but there will always be some obstacles in your official career in the future." But then he thought, what he asked for , isn't it just that Fan's family is safe, and can this beautiful young man in front of him live his life comfortably
This was also that person's idea, otherwise he wouldn't have named the child Fan Xian and the word Anzhi.
…
…
Fan Xian was overjoyed when he heard that there was no need to take the imperial examination. He returned to the study with a smile all over his face, only to find that Fan Sizhe was already waiting in the room, grinding his ink while looking at himself.
