I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 71 I had expected this day to come

They both turned to look at the same time.

The leader was wearing a red flying fish suit and holding an embroidered spring sword. He smiled at the masked man and said, "It's been a while since we last met. Are you all right, Mr. Han?"

The masked man stared at him for a moment, sighed softly, raised his hand and slowly took off the mask on his face.

——He has a straight nose, wide lips and a handsome appearance. He is undoubtedly Han Ruoyu, the head of the Ministry of Justice.

He bowed to Xie Hui and said, "The Jinyiwei are really capable. I admire them."

Xie Hui said: "This is your majesty's wisdom."

Han Ruoyu was stunned. He was caught red-handed and had he anything to do with the person sitting on the dragon throne?
"You lied to me!" After understanding the current situation, Eniwal glared at Han Ruoyu angrily, then pulled out a dagger and stabbed him.

How could a scholar like Han Ruoyu escape? He subconsciously leaned back and was about to be stabbed by the dagger, but suddenly an embroidered spring knife stretched out to block the tip of the dagger.

Xie Hui had a cold face and shook his wrist, directly shaking Eniwal away.

He ordered in a deep voice: "Cai Xin, send Ambassador Ainiwal back to the posthouse and wait for His Majesty to summon him."

The young man in the blue flying fish suit stepped forward, "Ambassador, please!"

Ainiwar pursed his lips angrily, turned around and glared at Han Ruoyu several times, "I must chop you down!"

Han Ruoyu smiled bitterly.

Does this person think that everything that happened today was conspired between him and the Jinyiwei?
What an idiot!
However, if this person was not stupid, he would not have approached him to discuss that fatal business.

Originally, Gu Zexian should have come today, but he suddenly fell ill and couldn't get out of bed. It was not convenient for Pan Chong to show up, and he was worried about leaving it to other people, so he had to come here himself.

Before going out, his right eyelid kept twitching. People say that twitching of the left eye brings good fortune and twitching of the right eye brings disaster, but he didn't believe it. Now it seems that he can still believe it.

"I had expected this day to come, but I never thought it would be today."

He sighed and looked at Xie Hui, "Master Xie, can you help me understand why I have aroused the suspicion of the Jinyiwei?"

He considered himself to be cautious and prudent, always thinking things over and considering everything he did, and trying to be thorough. He was also extremely low-key in the Ministry of Justice and behaved no differently from other officials.

Why was it discovered without any warning?

Xie Hui looked at him strangely. Didn't he already say that it was all because of your majesty's wisdom?

He was just following His Majesty's orders.

As for how Your Majesty knew that Han Ruoyu would meet Eniwal at Wanfang Tower?

He doesn't need to know this knife so clearly.

Xie Hui put handcuffs on Han Ruoyu and said, "Your Majesty is still waiting to see Lord Han in the Yangxin Palace. Lord Han, please follow me into the palace."

……

The Jinyiwei's arrest made quite a noise, and most of the guests in Wanfanglou were alarmed.

Many officials thought they were arrested for soliciting prostitution, so they fled in a hurry without even putting on their pants, leaving behind laughter.

In another box, a man and a woman were equally panicked.

The Xixia princess pushed the boy away and said in Xixia language: "The Jinyiwei are here. We can't stay here anymore. Leave!"

"Let's go together." The young man hugged her again and spoke in Xixia, "My beautiful moon, you are my heart, I can't leave you behind."

Princess Xixia stretched out her hand and pushed him: "Shan, you are the free wind on the grassland, you shouldn't be trapped by my side. Go back to Xixia, back to your mother."

"No, I..." The young Helanshan wanted to express his feelings when he suddenly heard voices coming from outside.

"Boss, the madam said there's no prostitute in this box. Do you want to search it?"

Xie Hui glanced at the closed door of the box.

I saw two shadows hugging each other reflected on the window paper of the door, and from the curves it was obvious that they were a man and a woman.

He was anxious to bring people into the palace, so he said, "Just knock on the door and ask."

After that, he took Han Ruoyu away. A Jinyiwei came forward and knocked on the door: "Jinyiwei routine inspection, open the door!"

"They are coming in." Princess Xixia translated the conversation outside to her childhood sweetheart while trying to hide Helan Shan.

"I'll do it." He Lanshan patted his frightened lover soothingly, "Turn around, don't let them see your face, leave everything to me."

The knocking on the door became more and more urgent, as if someone was trying to break the door open.

Princess Xixia had no choice but to believe her lover, so she put on her veil and turned away.

He Lanshan went forward to open the door, and faced with the stare of the Jinyiwei, he showed a hint of confusion and impatience at the right time, "Who are you looking for?"

He was speaking Xixia language, which the Jinyiwei who was knocking on the door could not understand at all. They could only tell it was Xixia language from some of the pronunciation.

The Jinyiwei looked at the man in front of him who was more handsome than most women, and wondered if he was the Rabbit God in the building.

But he hadn't heard that Wanfanglou had this business.

Furthermore, although the person in front of him was not dressed very luxuriously, he was still somewhat noble and had a very clean temperament, much like a young man raised in a noble family.

Maybe they are from the Western Xia envoys group, coming to Wanfang Tower to have fun?

Thinking of this, Jinyiwei became a little more polite and asked, "Who else is in the room?"

Helanshan blinked and said in Xixia: "I don't understand what you are saying."

The Jinyiwei couldn't understand what he was saying.

He simply reached out and pushed him away, and saw that there was only a veiled woman in the room, holding a pipa in her arms, who seemed to be Le Ji.

The woman seemed to notice that he was looking at her, and she shrank her shoulders in fear and lowered her head even lower.

Helan Shan blocked his gaze unhappily, with annoyance tinged across her pretty brows, "What are you looking at?"

Even though they didn't understand, the Jinyiwei understood his expression.

Considering that the young man might be a member of the Western Xia envoy group, he did not bother to argue with him any further. He bowed to the young man and left.

The door closed again and Princess Xixia let out a breath. Her palms were full of sweat due to nervousness.

"Shan, let's go."

She was worried that the Jinyiwei would discover something was wrong and come back.

As long as his moon doesn't drive him away, Helanshan will do anything.

He stepped forward, picked up the Princess of Xixia, and jumped directly out of the open window.

Princess Xixia buried her face in his arms, relishing the warmth of the moment.

——It would be great if she wasn’t here to marry a foreign prince.

*
On the other side, Xie Hui escorted Han Ruoyu into the Yangxin Palace.

Xiao Jingfan, who had been waiting for a long time, looked up from behind the desk and his cold eyes fell on Han Ruoyu.

Han Ruoyu bent his knees and prostrated himself, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well and safe."

"Han Ruoyu, you deserve to die." Xiao Jingfan leaned back on the dragon throne and looked at him with his eyes downcast. His tone was not angry, it could even be described as calm.

"Your Majesty, please give me a chance to redeem myself and make meritorious contributions." Han Ruoyu touched his head to the ground. "The reselling of firearms is not something I could have done alone. I am willing to give out all the people involved in this matter, including account books and letters. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and allow me to take the blame for my actions alone, and not to implicate my clansmen."

Xiao Jingfan sneered: "If I can find you, I can follow the clues to find your accomplices."

He raised his hand and threw the letter in front of him to Han Ruoyu.

"Look, have I missed anyone?"

Han Ruoyu looked up in shock and met Xiao Jingfan's eyes as deep as the night.

Xiao Jingfan looked down at him and said, "Do you know why I asked Xie Qing to bring you to the palace to see me?"
