Different from Ning Yi, the deputy director of the Prudent Criminal Division, who showed people with a cold face, Si Zheng Kou Xian is a middle-aged man who always has a smile on his face, he looks a little round, and he looks like an ordinary rich man, but Mu Zhizhen will not despise the person in front of him, as the executioner who has been in charge of the Prudent Criminal Division for decades, the emperor's most trusted executioner, Kou Xian has countless lives in his hands, and he is much more ruthless than Ning Yi when he should be ruthless.

Mu Zhizhen was very polite to Kou Xian, "Lord Kou, I don't know what happened when I came to Wanshou Palace late at night?"

Kou Xian said with a surprised face: "I should ask Master Mu this question, this black-lit Lord Mu will not come to repair the courtyard for the old lady, right?"

After saying that, Kou Xian laughed as if he was joking, but his eyes swept over Mu Zhizhen's hand. Mu Zhizhen still held the opened token in his hand.

Mu Zhizhen naturally closed the token in his hand, took it back into the wooden box, and said calmly: "I came here to report to Your Majesty in advance. ”

Of course, Kou Xian knew that it was Emperor Tiancheng's acquiescence that Mu Zhizhen dared to bring someone to appear in the Wanshou Palace in the middle of the night, but what he was doing here was only known to him.

Kou Xian smiled: "That's really a coincidence, our family came here on the orders of His Majesty." ”

Mu Zhizhen nodded: "In that case, then Mu Mou and Master Kou will go to His Majesty to return to their lives." ”

Kou Xian smiled and made a gesture of please, "Lord Mu, please first, our family will come later." ”

Mu Zhizhen didn't say much, nodded and walked out, and when he passed by Kou Xian's side, Kou Xian's nose moved slightly.

After Mu Zhizhen's figure disappeared, the smile on Kou Xian's face disappeared, he looked at the courtyard of the Wanshou Palace, his eyes stayed on the small black ash under the laurel tree that was scattered by the wind for a while, and then turned his head and instructed his subordinates, "Search the Wanshou Palace carefully inside and out, and don't let go of the slightest clue." ”

"Yes, sir!" the subordinate took the order.

In the alley, He Linwan and Ning Yi stood in the dark, watching Kou Xian lead people into the Wanshou Palace, and it didn't take long for Mu Zhizhen and Kou Xian to come out one after another.

He Linwan was really relieved.

Ning Yi thought for a moment, "Mu Zhizhen was calculated?"

He Linwan said casually: "If he dares to calculate people, he must be prepared to be calculated." ”

Ning Yi glanced at He Linwan, "You are also involved?"

He Linwan shook his head, looking well-behaved, "This is a matter between their men, what am I involved in? I, like you, still don't know what's going on inside." ”

Ning Yi squinted, obviously not convinced.

"Believe me, I really don't know what's going on!" it's just ......," He Linwan paused at this point, "but I deliberately misled him during the day." ”

When listening to the play in Qingyin Pavilion today, He Linwan always felt that someone was watching him in the dark, this feeling had no basis, it was all based on the keen intuition of the original body, and then she suddenly received a message from Li Yu, at first she thought that Li Yu was really afraid that she was worried, so she sent a letter to appease her, but when she opened the letter and saw the content, He Linwan immediately understood that this was a trap, a trap specially set by Li Yu for Mu Zhizhen.

In this way, she felt that someone was paying attention to herself in the dark, and it should not be that she was suspicious.

Outside before, she broke the bead string in Mu Lanping's hand to help Li Yu get out, which must have aroused Mu Zhizhen's suspicions, Mu Zhizhen should have immediately sent someone to pay attention to her secretly, and Li Yu, who knew that Mu Zhizhen was cautious, simply sent a letter to Ji Zhizhen.

As for why He Linwan guessed that this was a trap as soon as he opened the letter, it was because the letter was not written with the featureless left-handed characters he used in his daily correspondence with her, but with the characteristics of Li Yu's handwriting, although it was still very different from his real handwriting, but people who were very familiar with him should still be able to recognize it, so the letter was not really written to her, but was written to others through her.

As for whether the letter, which she crumpled and threw into the bucket, was later fished out, she did not know.

In order to cooperate with Li Yu, after she returned from the clean room, she deliberately pretended to have something on her mind but tried her best to cover it up, and deliberately said something wrong when the queen asked her about the play, just to show it to people in the shadows, so that he could believe the information conveyed by Li Yu and mislead Mu Zhizhen.

Later, He Linwan pushed back Mu Zhizhen's previous behavior of stopping the team of guards in front of the Wanshou Palace, guessing that Mu Zhizhen might not be playing a trick for Li Yu.

Although Mu Zhizhen suspected that Li Yu had come back in order to find the token, he was not sure where Li Yu was hiding and whether he would really appear in the palace, so his behavior of stopping the guards was not because he recognized Li Yu, but because he was deliberately startling the snake, in order to make Li Yu, who was hiding in the shadows, speed up his actions.

He Linwan was concerned about the chaos at that time, and let Mu Zhizhen fall to help Li Yu escape, but let Mu Zhizhen affirm that Li Yu was indeed in the palace.

Fortunately, Mu Zhizhen knew Li Yu well, and Li Yu also knew Mu Zhizhen well, so he immediately reacted to the plan and attracted Mu Zhizhen to the Wanshou Palace.

The calculations of these two men who come and go make He Linwan breathtaking, it is really a man's heart.

However, although He Linwan knew that this was Li Yu's trap, but He Linwan really didn't know what this trap was, and in order to prevent Mu Zhizhen, Li Yu didn't reveal anything.

The only thing He Linwan can do is believe in Li Yu, so she is acting and acting, and her worried emotions are still a little genuine, and they are not completely deceitful.

Just saw Mu Zhizhen and the people from the Shen Criminal Division arrive one after another, but Li Yu was nowhere to be found, He Linwan guessed that Li Yu's plan should have succeeded, and she was really relieved.

Ning Yi didn't know if he believed He Linwan's words, but he didn't continue to ask.

However, He Linwan is relieved now and wants to talk to Ning Yiduo.

"That person just now is your nemesis, is it the Detective Division?"

"You're concerned about the affairs of the Penal Division. Ning Yi frowned.

He Linwan thought to himself, I don't care about the Shen Criminal Division, I just care about you.

But he smiled and said, "It seems that the emperor trusts him more than you." ”

Ning Yi said coldly: "If it were me, I would only believe in the person who grew up with me." ”

He Linwan was stunned and fell silent.

Ning Yidao didn't look at He Linwan, but said: "Kou Xian has been serving by the emperor's side since he was a child, and he is the person he trusts the most, and I am different from him." ”

He Linwan replied dryly, "Oh. ”

Ning Yi glanced at her, "Do you still want to be a guest at the Shen Penal Division?"

He Lin came back to his senses late, "What?"

Ning Yi said: "After the play is finished, don't you leave? In another quarter of an hour, the patrolling people will pass by here." ”
