Episode 14
Yan Hou finally agreed to Mei Changsu to stop.He asked Mei Changsu why he wanted to help him.Mei Changsu replied: Mr. Hou is a person with love and justice in his heart. I can save every one, so please don't act rashly again.Yan Hou praised his righteousness, but at the same time sighed and said that he should not help King Yu ascend to the throne.Because King Yu is the most like Emperor Liang, ruthless, cold and cruel.When parting, they asked each other: If anything happens to Xiao Qiang in the future, please save the child's life! Mei Changsu agreed generously.
King Yu found a scapegoat and asked the Ministry of Punishment to cooperate and replaced He Wenxin.Through the incident of He Jingzhong recovering from illness and going to court, Mei Changsu keenly realized that King Yu had tampered with He Wenxin.Mei Changsu asked Captain Li to investigate, and gave this information to Xie Yu, so that he could kill people with a borrowed knife and seize the two territories of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment.
Although Qi Min had repeatedly warned He Jingzhong to send He Wenxin away quickly, he must not spend the New Year in his mansion.But He Wenxin has always been favored, and after he was released from prison, he still went back to his hometown to give Xie Yu time.Xie Yu and Uncle Wen Yuan blocked He Wenxin who was trying to escape at the gate of He Mansion, and went to the temple. This incident shocked the capital.
On New Year's Eve, every family was happily watching the New Year's Eve, Feiliu was happily eating dumplings, and Ning Guogong Xie Yu's family was also very lively.But as midnight approached, Xie Yu dismissed everyone and conspired with Zhuo Dingfeng to assassinate the servant who was delivering the food.
Yan Yujin learned from his father that he had saved the Yan family after being dissuaded by Mei Changsu, so he came to express his gratitude on New Year's Day.Xiao Jingrui discussed the chaos of the government from He Wenxin's case, and recalled that Mei Changsu once said that "the emperor will be virtuous", which made Yujin guess that Mei Changsu was not really assisting King Yu at all.
The internal servants and the escorting imperial guards who were routinely ordered to leave the palace to give food to important ministers were assassinated, which made Emperor Liang furious.He blamed Meng Zhi, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, for his poor protection and his twenty-twenty-armed imperial staff, and ordered him to solve the case within thirty days.In Ning Guogong's palace, Xie Yu asked Zhuo Dingfeng not to show up in the short term. The next step was to let people from the Jianghu who had already been recruited come forward.In addition, Emperor Liang will send the Xuanjing Division to secretly investigate the case so that he can be on guard.
Mei Changsu took Fei Liu to Prince Mu's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings.A subordinate of Prince Mu's Mansion reported a murder case on New Year's Eve.Mei Changsu analyzed that it must have been done by the Crown Prince or Prince Yu.
