Chapter 64
"That's enough!" Emperor Song suddenly shouted loudly, and then said to the guards outside the palace: "The Regent is here to see you!"

Soon, Song Jiyang walked into the hall.

He knelt down and saluted, "See Your Majesty!"

Emperor Song looked at Song Jiyang, then at the people who proposed, and sneered: "I ask you, why are those ordinary people arrested for no reason?"

Song Jiyang looked directly at the Song Emperor and replied frankly: "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to capture the spies."

"By order? Whose order?" Emperor Song stared at those old fools and questioned.

Song Jiyang raised his head, glanced at the officials with indifferent eyes, and then looked at Emperor Song: "According to your Majesty's order, capture the Beidi spies."

The whole place was in an uproar, and the faces of those who spoke out changed greatly, especially those who followed suit.If the person making the suggestion has a deep thought, then the person following the trend has a vicious thought.

Emperor Song looked coldly at the ministers below. Some were gloating about misfortune, some were harboring evil intentions, and some were indifferent. Everyone had their own agenda.

He narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes.

After a long time, Emperor Song suddenly raised his finger and pointed at someone, "Master Zhang, what do you say?"

The man was stunned. After he came to his senses, he hurriedly kowtowed, "Wei Chen is scared! Wei Chen has not had any contact with those Beidi spies. Please tell me clearly."

After he said this, he glanced at Song Jiyang secretly.

He was sure that Song Jiyang would not be able to find out about him.

However, he ignored Song Jiyang's temperament in this life, and also ignored Song Jiyang's martial arts and resourcefulness.

Song Jiyang snorted coldly, "Oh, since Master Zhang said he had no contact with them, then...who was Master Zhang secretly talking to in Yihong Courtyard on July [-]th this year?"

"Weichen...Weichen..." Mr. Zhang was sweating on his forehead and he hesitated for a long time but couldn't answer.

He had indeed approached them because the matter was related to his own career, so he had to proceed with caution.Moreover, he did ask those people to do something.But he would never admit it, "Don't you know what the regent is talking about?"

After saying that, he raised his head and chest, "Your Majesty, please be careful!"

Song Jiyang stopped talking nonsense and directly threw a plaque at his feet.The plaque was made of a piece of black metal with the Beidi Kingdom's totem engraved on it.

Master Zhang was stunned for a moment and said in a panic: "This is not Wei Chen's thing!"

Song Jiyang smiled half-heartedly, "Don't be afraid, Mr. Zhang. This thing was only temporarily found in your house. After all, I didn't catch it, so no one will believe it is yours!"

"..."

Mr. Zhang's face was livid. Of course he knew that Song Jiyang wanted to force him to admit that he did this.It's a pity that he refused to admit it, "Your Majesty, this humble minister was wronged!"

"Unjustly accused?" Song Jiyang raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly, "Master Zhang really has a clever mouth. When you just said that I was not worthy of my virtue, weren't you happy to say it? Now you have become a victim. .”

"Okay, that's enough." Emperor Song, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, interrupted the argument between the two.He frowned and stared at the two of them indifferently, "Master Zhang, as an important official of the imperial court, you actually teamed up with spies to attempt to undermine the imperial court, and even secretly colluded with the enemy's spies. You deserve death! Someone, drag Master Zhang down and behead him. Show it to the public. Accomplices...kill them on the spot."

Mr. Zhang stared at the emperor with wide eyes and looked at the emperor in disbelief, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is wronged! Wei Chen was framed!"

It was a pity that no one paid attention to him. Several forbidden soldiers immediately rushed out and escorted him outside the hall.

Master Zhang was desperate and roared angrily, "Your Majesty, please listen to Wei Chen's explanation..."

"Pull it down and kill it!" Emperor Song uttered three words coldly.

Master Zhang's shouts were drowned in the din.

Suddenly, everyone in the court was in danger.Emperor Song looked at these people coldly, "Does any of you have anything to do with Beidi?"

No one spoke, and the atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating. "Very good." Emperor Song nodded, "Beidi is an enemy country. If you have ever had contact with each other, I am willing to forgive all those who have made up for it. If you are stubborn..."

Emperor Song paused in his words and scanned the ministers with sharp eyes.In the end, it fell on Song Jiyang, "Then let's execute him together with the Beidi people!"

"Yes, I obey the order." After receiving the order, he retreated.

The hall was so eerily quiet that you could hear the sound of a pin dropping.

Many ministers were worried. They felt that since they were doing it covertly, they should not be exposed. But looking at His Majesty's appearance...could he have discovered it a long time ago?But this is absolutely impossible.

Song Jiyang did not give these people a chance to inquire about the news and returned directly to his regent's palace.However, this matter is not over yet.

……

As night fell, the sky was full of stars.

In a courtyard in the west of the city, several men gathered together and were discussing something in a low voice.

These people are officials in high positions.The leader was none other than Prime Minister Li Wenbo, and there were also the Minister of Justice, Minister of War, and Judge of Household Affairs, all of whom were high-ranking officials in the court.

"Brother Wenbo, what do you think we should do about this matter? Do we still need to contact Beidi?" One of the middle-aged men asked Li Wenbo.

Li Wenbo looked serious and shook his head slowly.

"Then...what should we do?" The other people asked impatiently.

Li Wenbo was silent for a moment and then slowly said: "We can only wait and see what happens!"

They were all smart people, and they all guessed that His Majesty must have noticed the clues, so they sent people to monitor them and try to find them out.But this kind of thing becomes darker the more it is smeared.The only thing they can do is to wait for the situation to calm down.

Unfortunately, they are also afraid. They are afraid that His Majesty has already collected the evidence and will just wait for them to make a mistake and kill them all.This situation makes it difficult for them to sleep or eat well.

Li Wenbo and the others were worried, but Song Jiyang didn't care.He sat in the room, drinking tea and eating leisurely.

He was busy reviewing cases these days and seemed to have forgotten someone.

"Ling Gang..."

"Subordinates are here."

"Where is Luan'er now?" Song Jiyang took a sip of tea and asked lightly.

Ling Gang lowered his eyelids, hesitated for a second, and said respectfully, "Master, Miss Huo has been in the house recently and has not gone out."

Hearing this, Song Jiyang frowned, "She didn't go out? What is she doing in the house?"

Ling Gang lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing his silence, Song Jiyang understood.He sat up from his chair and said to Ling Gang: "Notify me if there is any abnormality, and I will go take a look."

"Yes." Ling Gang nodded and respectfully sent Song Jiyang off.

night, getting deeper.

Song Jiyang easily climbed over the wall and entered Huo Qingluan's boudoir.He was quietly lurking near the bed, but was unexpectedly noticed by the little woman on the bed.

"Uh-who?"

She opened her eyes suddenly, her whole body on alert.
