Time pushes forward three hours -

On the temporary high platform on the west bank, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was dressed in white and dusty, stood solemnly, quietly looking at General Long Wei kneeling in front of him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a long time, the prince, who had not spoken for a long time, finally couldn't hide his anger, and said sharply: "What you said is true. ”

"Really. Huang Fuyan's attitude was resolute and did not hesitate at all, "The last general has sent someone to investigate thoroughly, and there is indeed a reason for the incident in Xinghai Yuelou." It was indeed the people of the clouds who were secretly responsible, but they only set fire to the ship's hold, and there was another reason for the explosion. ”

"There is another reason....... "The elegant prince who was breezy and moonlit squinted, pondered these four words carefully, and asked meaningfully: "Do you suspect the Gold and Silver Chamber of Commerce?"

Huang Fuyan still lowered his head and replied: "According to the report of the investigators, the cargo box of only one family in the cabin was completely burned by the fire, and the others were damaged a lot, but there were still remains, but this one was really nothing. It should be painted in the center of the explosion and nothing is left, so the explosives that smuggled Xinghai Yuelou should be hidden in this goods, I checked, this is not an ordinary business, it is the Gold and Silver Chamber of Commerce. ”

The prince was silent and pondered: "It stands to reason that anything that is brought into the ship will be closely inspected, why didn't it find out that there were explosives in the shipment in the first place?"

Xinghai Moon Tower is so important, any person and thing entering the ship must be strictly inspected to ensure that there will be no danger on the ship.

The fact that explosives were now hidden in the ship is a blatant indication of negligence in the inspection.

"Ba Qing is responsible for the inspection and arming of the ship. The prince thought for a while and said, "Let him come over, I will ask him personally, otherwise if I can't find the cause of the incident, my father will be angry, and then you and I will not be lightly guilty." It was hard for him to imagine how angry his father would be when he learned about the destruction of the ship, the Xingyue family had always been cautious and cautious, and there were almost no mistakes, but this time it was obviously their incompetence that gave the thieves the opportunity to destroy the ship that cost the royal family countless efforts in one fell swoop. Thinking of this, he had a headache as to how the explosives had flowed into the boat.

What role did the Gold and Silver Chamber of Commerce play in the whole incident.......

It seems that there is some connection between what has happened in the past few days, and finally understands the reason why he has been feeling uneasy for the past three months, and he has a faint sense in his heart that something big will happen soon, and it turns out that the so-called big thing is Xinghai Yuelou.

The prince rubbed his eyebrows, Ruyu's face was stained with a trace of distress, and said to Huangfu Yan in a low voice: "Send someone to the Gold and Silver Chamber of Commerce immediately, be sure to invite Mr. Jiang, about this matter, the Gold and Silver Chamber of Commerce is suspected of being involved." He has to give me an explanation in person no matter what he says, if he refuses...... Let's catch it. ”

"The subordinates receive the order. ”

Back to the present, Liu Changnan and Xiaoxue are riding together, struggling to escape the pursuers and the killers who can't get rid of them.

"Why did the pursuers come to catch us so quickly?" Xiaoxue grabbed Liu Changnan's neckline to prevent the horse from being thrown off the horse in the violent running and bumping.

"It must be that the prince found out the reason for the bombing of the ship and came to find Jiang Lao, but he probably didn't find out that his younger brother was also involved in this matter. I didn't expect that the two brothers would think of it together, and they both sent someone to arrest us. Liu Changnan's face was dark.

Xiaoxue panicked: "How could Huang Yuan find us so quickly?"

Liu Changnan shook his head: "No, he didn't find us, he should have found out that the Gold and Silver Chamber of Commerce might transport explosives to the ship, and they came to arrest Jiang Lao." As for the two of them, they were completely exposed in front of the dragoon guards by mistake, and the timing was so bad that they appeared when Jiang Lao was suspected. The dragoon guard must have recognized Xiaoxue as one of the people who rescued Mei Yuehan, and at this time he not only suspected Jiang Lao, but also definitely determined that Jiang Lao had something to do with saving people. But fortunately, Xiaoxue was clever enough, and when she left, she said a half-truth and half-truth, which can be regarded as dispelling half of Lao Jiang's suspicion.

It's really a disaster, I was ready to go, but there was a big problem at the critical moment, and I am afraid that this matter is getting more and more troublesome.

Xiao Xue was annoyed and said angrily: "What's going on with the Yunwu gang, didn't they say that they should do things cleanly and don't leave traces, it's good now, they walked cleanly, but we are in trouble." ”

"They can't be blamed on them either. Liu Changnan drove the horse, looked at the road and said: "The bombing of the ship is a big deal, a state-built ship actually hides explosives, do you say that you will let anyone who is suspicious go?"

"How much explosives did you mix in the cargo? It won't really destroy a ship!" Xiaoxue asked Yunwu's Bai Feng and Meiqing to set fire to the cabin at that time, thinking that Anan should not put too much explosives, and even if it did, it would be destroyed at most. Where did I think that things would become so complicated, the ship would blow up when it was said to be blown up, and it was almost ruined.

Liu Changnan's expression was complicated, he was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "No more, no less, it adds up to just enough for two large boxes." ”

"What!" Xiao Xue's face turned pale, "What are you talking about? two big boxes! ”

Finally understood why the two brothers couldn't wait to arrest them, two large boxes of explosives exploded at once, and Xinghai Yuelou was destroyed in their hands.

Knowing how terrible the consequences of the serious situation were, Xiaoxue was really anxious and about to cry at this time, and urged Liu Changnan to leave here quickly.

"The killer and the pursuer are behind, what can I do?" Liu Changnan also reached the point of despair, and the sorrow between his eyebrows deepened.

Xiaoxue was anxious and annoyed, but she was helpless, she looked down at her hand, and inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of the crystal jade stuffed in her belt. When Huang Li gave her the crystal jade, he had said that this thing could represent his identity at some point, so as to facilitate the cooperation between them, and also to show his sincerity in cooperating with the gold and silver merchants behind her. She didn't care about it at the time, and she didn't remember it until last night when the dragoon guard asked her to take out the token, and she took out the crystal jade with the mentality of trying, which really made the dragoon guard believe her identity as the second prince. It can be seen that this small stone represents not only sincerity, in a sense, in Nanchu, with it, it is equivalent to having a road of self-preservation.

"Let's go to Luoyu Street!" Xiaoxue grabbed Liu Changnan's collar and said firmly.

"What are you doing there?" Liu Changnan didn't understand what the hell this girl was doing, but he looked down at the extremely serious light in her eyes, and then looked back at the people who were chasing after her. Thinking about what kind of place Luoyu Street is, and more importantly, what people are there, he understands what Xiaoxue is going to do.

"Listen to you this time. He nodded, and rode towards the center of Dongzicheng.

Behind them, the pursuers ran and kicked up dust, which for a moment was half-hidden like smoke on them, and among the woods and grass, ghostly black shadows quickly approached a man and a woman on the horses in front of them, and the swords in their hands shone with golden light and cold light.
