In the most famous women's market in Yingdu (the state-run brothel in the Spring and Autumn Period, first created in the Guan Zhong of Qi State, and later popular in the vassal states), a person smiled and shook a folding fan into the rich lobby, and saw that Ruo Ao Yuejiao and Situ Nan were already surrounded by a circle of Mei Ji and large and small leaders who were laughing and celebrating.

"Big brother, Anan, you are all here, and you don't wait for me to celebrate Anan's release from prison together?" Ruo Aozike said with a smile.

"Come on, call Zhao Guoli's rouge, my third brother likes her gentle understanding the most. "If Ao Yuejiao beckons, someone will pass on rouge.

Ruo Ao Zike smiled, "It's still the eldest brother who has always understood me best." ”

The crowd played until the middle of the night, Ruo Zike hugged the graceful woman and leaned in front of the window, looking at the Huang Yuwei and the prison secretary who were still searching the city in the middle of the night outside the city, "Big brother, second sister-in-law, it seems that there are clues to new witnesses!"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao coldly pushed away the female concubine who was attached to him, and the female concubine beckoned smartly, "Sisters, adults have important matters to discuss, let's go out first." ”

"Yes, sister. ”

A group of female concubines came out one after another, and even the small commanders wisely withdrew, and there were some conversations that they were not qualified to participate in.

Rouge also glanced at Ruo Ao Zike, and left with a bewitching eyebrow, "After the third prince finished talking, he came to me, but don't forget about others." ”

"Go ahead!"

Ruo Ao Zike hooked her hand and said with a smile, "Go and wait for me in the room." ”

Situ Nan half-squinted at Ruo Ao Zike's reluctance to rouge, "Zike, I married the third princess in the future, I'm afraid that this kind of fireworks land will never come again." ”

"Alas, don't mention my marriage!"

If Ao Zike didn't want to mention his headache marriage, it has now become the biggest joke among all the upper-class nobles in the whole Yingdu, he wants to be ordered to marry a princess who raises a male pet and go home to provide for him, so he straightened up the clothes on his body and said, "Now the key is the case of the eldest brother, how to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

"Why didn't you know it was a fake message she put out on purpose?"

Ruo Yuejiao rubbed the gold bottle in his hand and sneered, "Otherwise, why didn't I hear about these three witnesses before?"

"Someone anonymously sent a submission to Chen Huang this morning, the eldest brother may not know it yet, and the younger brother only listened to the report of the people below before going to the court today. ”

Ruo Ao Zike said with a smile, "That's why I didn't have time to notify my eldest brother temporarily!"

"Then the submission can't be forged?" Situ Nan frowned.

"Does the eldest brother think that what he said today is true or false? Or is it all fake? Anyway, the younger brother doesn't know, he only knows that his confession has been changed temporarily, and even the number of missing homeless people submitted above has also been changed. Ruo Ao Zike smiled, leaned leisurely on the beauty couch and said.

Ruo Ao Yuejiao's eyes suddenly chilled when he heard this, "It seems that there are still a few small fish and shrimp that have slipped through the net." ”

Ruo Ao Zike leaned leisurely in the chair and talked about the situation outside, "Big brother, it seems that the second sister-in-law is going to fight you to the end this time!"

"Boss, I'll lead someone to kill them!" Situ Nan said as he stood up from a row of tables.

"The three holes of the cunning rabbit may not be true. Although the eldest brother has always done things neatly, it may not be that this string seven did not leave evidence or witnesses to save his life in advance. ”

Ruo Ao Zike turned the folding fan in his hand and smiled.

Anyway, it's none of his business, he hangs high, just waiting to fan the flames.

Ruo Ao Yuejiao leaned back in the big chair and snorted heavily, "Whether it is a suspicious formation, or a division of troops, let us guess, she is playing smart! In the end, even if she can't find anyone, if she launches some false witnesses and false evidence like Zhou Mu's case, I can't bear her." ”

While speaking, Ruo Ao Yuejiao no longer had the usual underestimation, patted Situ Nan's shoulder and said, "However, Anan, you have just come out now, don't be caught by them anymore, otherwise even Old Situ will accuse me of being ignorant." You are my best brother and right-hand man, these three little fish and shrimp, even if they find it, it is not of much use, all the angels, the right place, and the people are on our side. ”

But in order not to expose this matter, it is better that these three small fish and shrimp should not exist.

After Ruo Aozi and Situ Nan left, Ruo Ao Yuejiao suddenly had murderous intent in his eyes, "This woman is really fateful, and she can't kill her several times." ”

"Childe, now Lu Yi is also a dead person anyway, and I will take someone to kill the princess and these three witnesses, and I will never suffer in the future. Lu Yiyi, who entered from the outside door, said fiercely with a long knife crossed his waist in his hand.

Ruo Yue Jiao didn't know if it was okay, but suddenly asked, "What is Mi Huang busy with now?"

Lu Yi said: "The princess didn't go anywhere tonight, she went back to the East Palace, and secretly summoned Cheng Daxin and Chen Huang, because the East Palace is full of people from Huang Yuwei, and our people can't get too close, I don't know if they have found witnesses now, or do they want to plot something?"

For a moment, Ruo Ao Yuejiao fell into deep thought.

After a while, Lu Yi suddenly said: "Eldest Prince, do you think that the princess deliberately made a look of looking for someone, just to attract our attention, so that we can focus all our attention on her, so as to ignore the attention of them in the prison, and from the current point of view, not only is Lord Yin suppressing this matter, but they have no evidence so they deliberately confuse us?"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao didn't analyze it like this, "No matter what, give me twelve hours for the whole city to keep an eye on her and Chen Huang and them, no matter what they did or did, they all came to report." ”

"Yes, Childe!"

Lu Yi still said worriedly: "But what if the eldest prince, what if they really find a real spare account book?"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao looked at his severed green wolf Xiaoyue Knife and suddenly smiled, did not answer this question directly, but changed the topic and said, "It is not up to Chen Huang to convict me, as long as Ben Du Wei denies it, it is useless to sue the king in the first trial, second trial, and third trial! Not to mention that Ben Du Wei rebelled? These are their speculations, will the king believe it?"

When Lu heard this, he suddenly understood.

This night, the dark clouds above the sky gathered and dispersed, and the royal city of Yingdu seemed to be calm, but many people could not sleep peacefully, and no one knew what kind of turbulent dark tide was surging under the calm river outside the royal city of Yingdu, waiting for the wind to rise and break the waves.

At this time, in the conference hall of the East Palace, the hourglass was flowing with the sound of "sand-sand-sand" flowing in the sand, and time was going towards the time little by little, but there were still three people discussing the case, thinking about the next countermeasure, it was Mi Huang, Cheng Daxin who returned from the eastern suburbs, and Chen Huang.

From time to time, the painter and the secretary added tea and snacks to them, made notes, or carried candles that were occasionally suppressed by the night wind.

Cheng Daxin flipped through the candlestick of an ethereal phoenix stepping on the Xuanwu, looked at the anonymous submission that was spliced together, and analyzed the current situation of the case and the shortcomings of the plan, "Now that the trial of this case has ended, and the trial will be held again, there will inevitably be one or two results that will be submitted to the king for decision." But now we only have so much evidence, plus the criminal prison department collected by Ah Huang's side, as well as the false evidence made by Ruo Ao Yuejiao, to really prove that the homeless case is related to him, we can't do it just by relying on our people. ”

"What does big brother mean?"

Chen Huang sat across the round table and looked at Cheng Daxin in confusion and asked.

"There are only two thousand people in Huang Yuwei now, and the rest are training in the eastern suburbs, no matter how impossible it is to send out all the people around the princess, and leave a part to protect the safety of the princess and the East Palace, plus the five hundred people of the Criminal Prison Division, even if we send the Cheng family's private army to find someone.

However, the city of Yingdu is so big inside and outside the city, there are nearly 200,000 people scattered around, and there are major families that are intertwined, and it is impossible to openly search for people in some places, so how easy is it to find three people who are deliberately hidden?

We're all over the city.

But if those three people were willing to show up, they would have shown up a long time ago.

Therefore, if we really want to find these three people, we need to get the support of more ministers in the DPRK and China, mobilize more people to find them, and it is possible in seven days!"

Cheng Daxin frowned and said, although they also have a lot of people under them, they can't get the approval of the courtiers, and they are always weaker, and some places can't be searched at all.

"Big brother, if the courtiers are willing to support, this matter will not be so difficult. ”

Chen Huang said with a difficult face.

The candle flame swayed in the wind, and the eyes of the woman sitting on the top were bright and bright, and she was also holding a volume of "Zhou Li Da Si Kou" in her hand at this time, thinking slowly, and the sound of tapping her fingers on the table in the long silent night seemed so machine and dull.

"So these three people are not our target. ”

"Think about it, just by the three people who were found at random, even if they really had solid evidence, do you think the current Sanji would really admit the confession they gave?

What's more, Chen Huang, you should know in your heart what the identities of those three people are that Xian Qing told you, they can't promote this case at all, and when they go to court, I'm afraid that Yue Jiao's eyes can scare them half to death, and if they are punished again, they are afraid that everything that is true and false will be explained, but it will be a bad thing.

So it doesn't matter who these three witnesses are, the people we arrange ourselves will be more reliable.

Anyway, Yue Jiao is a false testimony.

False testimony to false testimony, in court, we have a tie.

But there is a problem with this, we end up in a long period of evidence verification, which also means that those displaced people have passed the optimal recovery period, which is too long.

The displaced people can't afford to wait, and neither can we. ”

Mi Huang calmly analyzed.

"How's that good?"

Cheng Daxin thought that he had convinced the princess just now.

Unexpectedly, she didn't agree at all.

"Now there is only one person who can confirm that all this is related to Ruo Ao Yuejiao. "The phoenix man's eyes are deep.

"Who?" Cheng Daxin said with an eyebrow raised.

Chen Huang also looked at her.

"Situ Nan!"

"But the lady, Situ Nan is not so good at making him speak. Chen Huang knew Situ Nan's trust and admiration for Ruo Ao Yuejiao, how easy was it to let such a cronie betray or even tell back?

Chen Huang and Cheng Daxin were silent at the same time.

"So this is the third step we have to take, the first two steps, one, to gain time, and two, to divert the target, are just empty city tricks used to confuse Ruo Ao Yuejiao's sight. Mi Huang said in a clear voice.

A knock on the door suddenly sounded in the middle of the night, and Si Qin walked in and said, "Lady, the little chief who protects the shopkeeper of Wan comes back to report." ”

"Let him in!"

"Lady, now some of the people outside have spontaneously organized themselves to help us find those three witnesses!" Xiao Shi Chang came in with a happy face and said, "It is estimated that there are many people, and the three of them will be found soon!"

But the three people sitting in the hall were stunned.

They just denied this method, but they didn't expect the people to help them think of the flaws in this method in advance.

The woman sitting in the main seat also didn't have the slightest smile on her face, not even Cheng Zuoyin and Chen Tingli who were sitting inside.

"Lady, is there a problem with the people doing this?"

The little chief didn't know what he said wrong, and looked at the three people who didn't speak in a daze, and even the three girls who were standing next to him, Siqin Division, and Sishu didn't speak silently.

That's a good thing!

Why doesn't the lady laugh?

Even Zuo Yin and Master Tingli didn't laugh, but we finally had a helper.

"Okay, then you go and tell Lao Wan that if they can find more people, slaves, poor disciples, and merchants...... All walks of life, the more the merrier!"

Mi Huang said to Xiao Shichang, "Let everyone pull this battle to find people as big as possible, what support is needed, just come back and report! At the same time, try not to have a conflict with the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, protect yourself!"

"Yes, lady. ”

Xiao Shi Chang happily jumped his legs and took the order, "Bao Zhun completes the task!"

Chen Huang, Cheng Daxin, and even the Siqin Si painting in the room all smiled when they heard this.

Si Shu put down the teapot in his hand, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Before, I always thought that the chances of success in the end of this case were half open, so I panicked every day, and I couldn't sleep anymore, but now I think we will win." ”

"I also think, Mrs. Girl, this case will definitely be overturned. ”

Although Si Hua doesn't know how to investigate the case, but with so many people helping, it doesn't make sense, they will lose.

"Then let's start preparing for the third step!" said Mi Huang looked at the crowd deeply.

Everyone stared at her, and immediately understood what she meant.

"Good!"

On the second day, a new day in the royal city of Yingdu, the sky began when it was still slightly bright, and it was far from the time of the last dynasty, it was a little dim and half-bright, and the secretary rushed into the dormitory in a fuss, still without any rules, Si Qin said, "The princess is still resting, and she discussed with the two adults until midnight last night, and the princess has not fallen asleep and watched "The Great Sikou" in the middle of the night!"

"Oh!"

Si Shu nodded obediently, took a light step, but pointed to the outside of the East Palace and said, "But Si Qin, you don't know that there is a lot of excitement outside the palace early in the morning, there are a lot of people!"

Mi Huang had already woken up, so she ordered Si Qin to help her get up and put on her clothes, climb the tower of the East Palace and look out along Si Shu's fingers, only to see that the streets and alleys outside the palace were full of people today, she frowned and said, "Today is neither a bazaar nor a festival, and the case has not been retried...... Why are so many people out early in the morning?"

"It's not the princess, you asked everyone to get up to find someone last night, the princess must have forgotten about it. Then, overnight, most of the people in the city were dispatched today, and they got up early in the morning and began to look for someone. ”

"Lady, you see, now you can't even walk the few roads that must be passed by the court. ”

The secretary pointed to the people downstairs in the city, as well as poor students, merchants and hawkers, and even some government soldiers did not know how to join in, almost twenty or thirty people had a portrait in their hands, and they checked the portrait when they caught the individual, and some people even came up with a method of sketching a mark, and those who had checked it put a straw in their heads to prove that they had experienced.

I don't know, I thought it was a big tooth shop that got a large number of slaves and sold them cheaply on the street!

(The ancient straw label had the same function as the barcode and price tag of today, indicating that the thing was for sale.) One is sold cheaply, two are sold at a normal price, and three are sold at a high price. ）

Because of this, it even blocked the necessary road of the early dynasty, and caused a partial jam on the main city street.

The old man had a straw in his gray hair, and then squatted on the street with two large bundles of straw on a flat shoulder, divided the straw stalks cut from the field, and beckoned every neighbor who helped to come and get a tart, "Come, have been tested, and put a straw mark on them!"

"Okay!"

As a result, a straw was planted in everyone's head, and it became a fashion in Yingdu for a while.

For Mi Huang, in one day, she suddenly joined so many people, she didn't think about it, Si Hua and Si Qin pointed to the heads of the people moving below, as well as the straw stuck in their heads, clapped their hands and said, "Lady, these people are so cute." ”

"Well, cute!"

The phoenix has a head and slightly curved eyebrows.

I really wish Cheng Jia could come back and see this scene.

Now that the time is right, she doesn't have to wait any longer.

"Satoko, the third step!"

"Yes, lady?"

Xiao Lizi led a group of Huang Yuwei to leave the East Palace, and the overseas Chinese clothes were easy to go, and they blended into the flow of people, cars and horses.
