When I woke up, the heavy snow seemed to have stopped suddenly. Thick snow covered the ground, and on the roofs of the houses and pavilions, the scenery seemed to have changed slightly after one night.

The surroundings were quiet, with neither the sound of birds nor the chirping of insects. The wind was very light, and the snow-covered treetops were motionless.

As soon as Qin Liang came out of the gatehouse of the inner house, he saw a man wearing black fur clothes walking on the white road. The man walked very fast, because it was difficult to judge the depth of the solid ground under the snow, and his posture seemed a step deeper.

A shallow kick.

Soon Qin Liang recognized the person. It was Ling Yinci, the school official. The morning air was cold, and Yinci's flat cheeks were flushed. He bowed his hands from a distance, and when he approached, he immediately said: "General, Chen Ben

Arrest Xia Houxuan."

Qin Liang was a little surprised and asked: "Xia Houxuan also participated in the conspiracy of Li Feng and others?"

Yinci said: "It's not clear at this time. What happened last night, it was already dark when we arrested people. I got the news and came to General Wei's Mansion early in the morning."

"I understand." Qin Liang simply responded without expressing his attitude for the time being.

After saying that, he walked straight forward, following the vaguely discernible road on the ground, towards Di Pavilion. Most of the offices of General Wei's Mansion were to the south of Di Pavilion, and Yinci also followed Qin Liang heading south.

Qin Liang woke up early in the morning and heard the news before his mind was fully awake. At this time, he was thinking about it in his mind while going to the mansion.

When Yangzhou raised troops against Sima Yi, Xia Houxuan's attitude in Guanzhong was also that he wanted to fight. Less than a year had passed, and Xia Houxuan wanted to use such extreme means to deal with the Wang and Qin families?

The main reason is that Xia Houxuan is a difficult character. A triangle relationship immediately emerged in Qin Liang's mind. The three corners are Cao Fang, Guan Qiujian, and Xia Houxuan.

In the assassination incident, because several eunuchs close to the emperor were convicted of the crime, everyone should know that Cao Fang was probably involved. Xia Houxuan and Guan Qiujian were close friends. If Xia Houxuan was touched, it would most likely further incite anger.

Arrive at Guanqiu Jian.

Qin Liang could not underestimate Guan Qiu Jian's courage. When he met Guan Qiu Jian a few years ago, Qin Liang had the impression that this man was a bit stubborn.

Nowadays, Guanqiu Jian still holds heavy troops in Youzhou, which is considered a problem left over from history.

Last year, Guanqiu Jian's army destroyed Goguryeo. So far, Wei had threatened the Gongsun family in the northeast. Goguryeo was destroyed one after another, and the Wuwan and Xianbei tribes had also disbanded. Youzhou no longer needs so many elites to guard against foreign invasion.

But at that time, Empress Dowager Guo disappeared, and Sima Yi and Cao Shuang were wary of each other and did not take care of Guanqiu Jian. By the beginning of this year, Cao Shuang was overthrown, Yangzhou raised troops, Wang Ling's family and Sima's family fought again, and no one touched the personnel in Youzhou.

As a result, Guan Qiu Jian's military power as governor of Youzhou has been maintained to this day; the threat from powerful enemies in that direction is no longer there, but Guan Qiu Jian still has a large number of troops.

Fortunately, the imperial court has issued an edict before. Guan Qiujian will probably return to Beijing early next year to report on his duties. At that time, he can be stabilized and try to transfer him out of Youzhou first. Of course, he cannot be killed directly. The side effects will be too great.

The country still has many generals who are leading troops abroad. If you do this, no one will dare to come back in the future.

Qin Liang walked to the vicinity of the mansion in silence. Yinci bowed his hands and was about to say goodbye.

"You and I will go to Tingwei." Qin Liang said first.

Yinci said: "Here."

Fu Gu was recovering from his injuries at home, and Sima Wang Kang was temporarily responsible for the daily affairs of General Wei's Mansion. Qin Liang then set off with Wu Xin, Rao Dashan and other entourage and left General Wei's Mansion early in the morning.

In the past, when Gao Rou was still Tingwei, Qin Liang was a frequent visitor here. In my impression, the roasted black pork in Tingwei Mansion tasted pretty good.

Wu Xin next to her should also have a deep impression of Tingwei Mansion, but it mainly came from the prison. As expected, when Wu Xin set foot here again, her face turned pale, maybe because the air was too cold.

Before Chen Ben arrived at Tingwei's Mansion, a messenger greeted Qin Liang and others.

Tingwei sent a warning to Chen Yu, saying that Mr. Chen had been reviewing the case all night and had left very late, so he might come back later this morning for duty.

Qin Liang wanted to see Xia Houxuan. The Tingwei officials and Shu Zuo led the way. Instead of going to the prison, they took Qin Liang and others to the office next to the palace.

Xia Houxuan must have been involved, otherwise he would not have been caught and brought to Tingwei Mansion, but he was imprisoned. Only then did Qin Liang remember that Chen Ben seemed to have a good personal relationship with Xia Houxuan.

He is a social butterfly.

Qin Liang just walked into the department room and saw not only Xia Houxuan kneeling at the banquet, but also an unexpected guest. Zhong Hui.

Zhong Hui knelt down next to Xia Houxuan, put an arm on Xia Houxuan's shoulder, and was talking to Xia Houxuan with a smile on his face. Xia Houxuan had a look of disgust on his face and sat there without squinting.

When the two of them saw Qin Liang at the door, Zhong Hui was stunned for a moment, stood up from the banquet and bowed to him. Qin Liang also returned the bow.

Qin Liang didn't know what Zhong Hui was doing here, and it was hard to ask. However, Zhong Hui seemed to like to provoke some specific people, probably noble, well-mannered celebrities. For example, Xia Houxuan and Ji Kang.

Xia Houxuan also stood up calmly and bowed to Qin Liang.

Qin Liang pretended to be surprised and said: "Why did Taichu spend the night in Tingwei Mansion?"

Xiahou Xuandao: "The swordsman and penman wrote the charges for me. General Qin can take a look at the crime they convicted me of."

Zou Jian hurriedly said: "It's just an inquiry, there is no conviction."

Qin Liang turned around and said: "Bring the file, let me see what's going on first."

He cupped his hands and said, "Here."

Qin Liang had the title of recording ministerial affairs, but he could not control the Jiuqing Tingwei. However, the general had actually formed a situation of commanding military and political power in Wei State. After the general conquered Wu, he explicitly asked Qin Liang to guard Luoyang; Qin Liang

Everyone seemed to think it was natural to ask about Wei Ting's affairs.

Yesterday afternoon Zhong Hui also came to visit Qin Liang's injury. While waiting, Qin Liang chatted with Zhong Hui and said in the tone of a personal friend: "The news about Shi Ji is very good."

This clock will be a little embarrassing, but he has always been able to cope with various situations, and this time is no exception. He said in a casual tone: "I also learned about it from my brother."

Qin Liang nodded and said: "That's it."

Zhong Hui's elder brother is Zhong Yu. When Cao Shuang was still there, he may have noticed the signs that Zhong Yu was leaning towards the Sima family, so he sent Zhong Yuwai to Wei County as the prefect. After the Sima family eliminated Cao Shuang, they immediately transferred Zhong Yu back.

He worked as a servant in Luoyang and now works as an official in the imperial court. When the killing took place yesterday morning, Zhong Yu was also present.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the Yingchuan Zhong family and Xia Houxuan are not in the same boat. No wonder Zhong Hui came over to visit Xia Houxuan early in the morning without hesitation.

After a while, the official of Tingwei sent the file. Qin Liang found Zhang Ji'an, knelt down next to him, raised his head and greeted: "Everyone is welcome, find a place to sit." Qin Liang looked at it quickly. Probably, he soon discovered that there was Yang Huiyu's name in it. Somehow, this matter involved Yang Huiyu, who was beyond his reach. Qin Liang took a closer look at the relevant content, and gradually a ball of fire arose in his heart.

Yang Huiyu was technically the wife of Master Sima, and Master Sima was Qin Liang's enemy. Qin Liang had no reason to be angry about this, but he still felt uncomfortable when he saw others thinking about Yang Huiyu.

Just as He Jun was thinking about Wang Xuanji, Qin Liang was also very angry.

Xu Yun seems to want to arouse Yang Huiyu's sympathy and respect. This kind of mentality in front of beautiful women reminds Qin Liang of Yin Mo a long time ago. However, Xu Yun probably has nothing to do with the Yang family. Only Xia Houxuan can create opportunities , let the two of them get to know each other.

Qin Liang raised his head and glanced at Xia Houxuan with complicated emotions. Xia Houxuan's expression remained calm and calm, with no sign of fear.

At this moment, Qin Liang remembered more about Xia Houxuan's relationship, not only related to Guanqiu Jian. Xia Houxuan's cousin was Xia Houba, the current governor of Liangzhou, and Xia Houba was Yang Hu's father-in-law.

At this moment, Tingwei's subordinate officer came to the door and said: "General Qin, the prince is here."

Qin Liang put down the slip and said to Zhong Hui: "I'm going to see Xiu Yuan (Chen Ben)." Then he looked at Zhong Hui with questioning eyes.

Zhong Hui cupped his fists and said, "I don't need to see the Tingwei anymore. I'll take my leave first."

Qin Liang said goodbye to Xiahou Xuanyi again, then walked out of the office and came to the base of the mansion. Soon he saw Chen Ben coming from the courtyard.

Chen Ben probably also heard about Qin Liang's visit, so he quickened his pace.

Chen Ben's father had been a Sangong, and he was considered to be from a noble family. He was ranked as the ninth minister mainly because of his background. Qin Liang didn't know what his talents were. Anyway, Chen Ben didn't seem to be very good at complex cases. Before. In the case of the disappearance of Queen Mother Guo, there was no progress after the Tingwei was transferred from Gao Rou to Chen Ben.

Qin Liang didn't have many personal contacts with him, but Chen Ben was still a rule-abiding person. As soon as he walked up to him, he said when he was greeted: "I would like to ask General Qin for advice on this case."

"Those who want to kill me, I really want to know the reasons." Qin Liang said casually, and then glanced sideways at the gate of the mansion.

Chen Ben suddenly said: "Let's go in and say, please."

The two walked into the hall of the mansion, and Chen Ben simply invited Qin Liang to the attic to find a quiet place. Wu Xin and other close followers naturally followed him upstairs.

Qin Liang came to the attic, and in a daze, he seemed to smell the aroma of roast pork. He walked to the window and looked out into the courtyard for a moment.

At this time, Qin Liang took a deep breath, turned around and said, "Let Xia Houxuan go." He was unhappy, but he still had sense, and he needed to be patient at least for the time being.

Chen Ben was silent for a moment and nodded in response.

Qin Liang said: "From the confession, it cannot be concluded that Xia Houxuan participated in the planning. We should discuss the matter based on the facts."

Chen Ben breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "General Qin is wise!"

Obviously Chen Ben didn't want to punish Xia Houxuan, but if someone confessed to Xia Houxuan, he could only interrogate him according to the rules.

"Reincarnation Paradise"

Qin Liang then said in a deep voice: "Yang Huiyu cannot have anything to do with Xu Yun, there is no need to involve her. Writing Yang Huiyu's name on such a slip will be bad for the reputation of the Yang family. Qing shouted I have to write the dossier again."
