Since Zhen Li brought people out of the Yali of Shangyuan County, he quickly found a place to stay. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He is a person who is used to living a comfortable life, and he has money in hand, so he will not wronged himself. For the convenience of daily life, he specially rented an independent courtyard in one of the best inns in Jinling City, three meals a day are in charge of someone, there will be someone to clean every day, laundry and other chores do not have to worry about themselves, the back wall of the courtyard is the alley behind the inn, it is convenient to avoid people's eyes and ears.

At this time, it was not yet the first month, and there were still many people from other places in Jinling City, either visiting relatives and friends, or playing and relaxing, and Zhen Li's party was not very conspicuous among them. If there is anything eye-catching about them, it is probably that except for Zhen Lili, the rest of the people are cold and gloomy, and they are walking around in black during the Chinese New Year, without the slightest smile on their faces, others will naturally feel strange, and they can't help but glance at it a few more times, and then they are so frightened that they don't dare to look at it anymore.

There is no way, among the people Zhen Li brought this time, except for one who can assist in intelligence work, the rest of them are dead soldiers who specialize in dirty work, even among the dead soldiers in the Shu Wangfu, they are all very unpopular. They are often rarely dispatched, but when they do, they may not be able to return at any time. If one of them leaves for a month or two, the other companions may not ask a word - the reason why the person who sent Zhen Li to the south would choose such a subordinate for him is also because of this reason.

Zhen Li chose to settle down in the inn instead of looking for a more secluded and safe place to live, in fact, it was also because the people he brought with him were accustomed to being waited and taken care of by others in their daily lives. He's had enough of his journey south. It was clear that he was the leader, and he was to give them orders, but on the way he took great pains to take care of their food, clothing, shelter, and transportation—Madame had never mentioned that he was to be troubled by such a thing! Zhen Li hated it so much, but he didn't dare to say anything to complain - you know, these guys are all masters who kill people without blinking, what if they turn their faces and cut him directly regardless of the master's orders?!

So, Zhen Li left most of the people in the inn, and only took the dead man in charge of intelligence work out to find out the news. According to the information provided by Li Yanchao, the carriage carrying the prince had several guards on horseback, and after passing through Wulipo, the carriage disappeared from Li Yanchao's sight for a time, and after it reappeared, the number of guards was reduced by half, and the carriage never disappeared in front of Li Yanchao again, so to transfer the prince to the grandson of the Liao king, it could only be in Wulipo.

Zhen Youli didn't know that Li Yanchao's statement was modified, so he directly took his men to Wulipo to inquire. It turned out that Li Yanchao was an incompetent person, and the people he brought with him had always been dedicated to intelligence investigation, and they found important clues as soon as they made a move.

They found an old man who claimed to be a tenant farmer under the Qin clan near Wulipo, because his home happened to be in that area, and on the day of the incident, he saw that the weather was good, so he came out to wander, and happened to see the carriage passing by. Qin Bainai, the Marquis of Yongjia, is one of the most noble clansmen of the Qin clan, and in recent months he has returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and as a tenant farmer of the Qin family, how could he not recognize the carriage of the Yongjiahou Mansion? He also thought that Yongjiahou had returned to Qinzhuang. Who knew that the carriage just stopped in the roadside grove, got out of the car, got into another carriage that had been hidden in the grove for a long time, and walked in the direction of Qinzhuang with four guards on horseback. And a young man who Yongjiahou had brought back to Qinzhuang to live for a while came out of the grove and got into the carriage. The tenant farmer saw it from afar, and wondered what the little boy was doing. However, the other party quickly left in the car, and he didn't have time to ask more.

The tenant farmer had been away from home for several days because he had been visiting relatives during the New Year, and he did not know that anyone had come to Wulipo to inquire about the news, so naturally there was no possibility of telling the person who came the news.

When Zhen Li heard this, he knew that it was the person sent by Li Yanchao who was unlucky, and he didn't find this rare witness. Thanks to the blessing of the tenant farmers, he determined that the grandson of the Liao king did exchange with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Wulipo that day, leading away Li Yanchao, and the prince hid in Qinzhuang under the protection of the guards. Maybe Yongjiahou was also in Qinzhuang at that time, just in time to receive the prince. It's just that I don't know, is the prince still in Qinzhuang now?

The Venerable Master of Qinzhuang came and went, and it was very lively, but basically all the relatives and friends of the Qin family came. As a village formed by a single family, it is surrounded by the fields of family members, and it is rare for strangers to come to the door on weekdays. If the prince wants to hide in, he will only pay it back for a day or two, and he will definitely be discovered after a long time. Zhen Li resisted the suspicious gaze of the people in Qinzhuang, probed around, and determined that there were no unidentified guests in the six-room ancestral house to which Yongjiahou Qin Bai belonged, and the owner was not there, and he returned to the city on the day Li Yanchao watched the sentry, so he knew that the prince must have already left Qinzhuang.

So where will the prince go after he leaves?

The clue of Wulipo has been broken, and Zhen Li can only count on the Ye Medical Hall on the other side. This time, he was very lucky, and after only a day of ambush, he saw Imperial Doctor Shen who came to buy medicine. Zhen Li also knew Imperial Physician Shen, coupled with the clues provided by Li Yanchao earlier, he knew that Imperial Physician Shen was now following the prince, so he took someone and quietly followed behind Imperial Physician Shen, so as to find out where the other party was now and whether he was still walking with the prince?

I saw Imperial Doctor Shen walking along the street unhurriedly, buying snacks and miscellaneous books from time to time, and then dangling to the ferry at the corner of the street, and getting on a small boat that had been waiting there for a long time. It was none other than his medicine servant who was supporting the boat. Recently, the medicine maid learned the technique of holding the boat, and with a light touch of the boat in his hand, the boat sailed offshore.

Zhen Li and his companions stood by the ferry in amazement. They are all landlubbers from the north, and they don't know how to hold a boat, and they don't have a boat in their hands, so now how can they chase Imperial Doctor Shen?!

Fortunately, there is no endless road. In the south of the Yangtze River, the river network is dense, and there are naturally many boats on the river. Zhen Lili's companion quickly took aim at a small boat that was responsible for transporting goods, pulled him and jumped on it, ignoring the strong fishy smell on the boat, threw a silver coin into the boatman's arms, and asked him to catch up with the ship in front.

The boatman picked up the silver bill, secretly glanced at Zhen Li and the others, pretended to laugh greedily, and said, "Thank you for the reward from the two guest officers, and the little one will catch up!"

Soon after, the boat on which Dr. Shen and his servants were sitting docked, and the two of them dropped anchor and went ashore, but they went directly to a small private wharf, opened the back door and entered, and disappeared.

Zhen Li's boat came to the edge of the small dock, and he looked and looked, still wondering if this mansion would be the prince's new place of residence, and his companion had already lowered his voice and told him: "It looks like the house where the previous one lived." It's just a pretense to leave, to stay in town for a few days, and then secretly turn back. After all, this is the place they are used to. It's just that this time, they entered through the back door by water, and Lord Li's people didn't know about it!"

Zhen Li immediately understood, and hurriedly pulled his companion ashore on another small dock nearby, and turned back to see the house that Imperial Doctor Shen entered, comparing the surrounding environment, isn't it the original residence of the prince mentioned by Li Yanchao? It turned out that the prince had said that he was leaving, but it was just to make an illusion, but in fact, it was to divert the attention of Li Yanchao's subordinates, and then he came back secretly. This method is simple to say, but Li Yanchao didn't even find such a simple plan, it's just a waste!

Zhen Li went to the Shangyuan County Ya angrily again, retreated left and right, and fired at Li Yanchao.

Li Yanchao learned that the crown prince had returned to the original house in Huaiqingqiao, but instead entered and exited through the back door, but his people only cared about looking for news everywhere, and did not come back to take a closer look at the house. It is indeed his negligence to make such mistakes. If it was something else, this little negligence was nothing, but now that he didn't find a clue that Zhen Li had discovered, how much confidence did he have to fight for his own merits?

Li Yanchao only felt that his eyes were black again, and his blood and qi were surging, and a breath surged to his throat, telling him to swallow it alive.

Zhen Li said at this time: "I haven't even seen such a simple trap, no wonder Li Dagongzi can only be a county magistrate so far, and he is about to be driven down." I don't think Mr. Li wants to be an official, it's better to go back and be an idler. ”

Li Yanchao only felt that he couldn't swallow the blood no matter what, so he squirted out directly. After spraying blood, he began to cough nonstop.

Zhen Li looked at him with some disgust, and said coldly: "Master Li is sick, so it's better to recuperate." After suffering this loss, I hope you will be smarter in the future and stop doing stupid things!"

The former quickly glanced into the house, and saw that Li Yanchao was vomiting blood again, so he said sharply to Zhen: "Are you too much?!" I don't care how much you use in front of the Tu family's wife, the Li family is the in-law of the Tu family, and you dare to treat the eldest son of the Li family rudely, and again and again to vomit blood, it is really unreasonable! I have written a letter back to Beijing to explain this matter to Master Li, and ask him to ask Mrs. Tu why she connived at the evil slave!

Zhen Li sneered, will Mrs. Tu blame him? That's impossible!

He left coldly, ignoring the master. The master was so angry that his face turned blue, but Li Yanchao's condition was critical, so he could only order someone to ask for a doctor first, and wake up his proprietor first.

Zhen Licai didn't care about the chaos behind him. Now that he has the whereabouts of the crown prince, it is convenient for him to do something. He went back to the inn and consulted with the dead soldiers, and decided that there should be a fire so that the prince would die in an "accident". Who knows, when they got dressed properly and quietly sneaked into the house at night, the people in the house had just boarded the boat from the small dock at the back door, and the group wandered leisurely off the shore.

Zhen Li was sure that he didn't show his stuff, so why did the prince leave?! Soon he found out that the master and servant of Imperial Physician Shen did not leave, and mentioned in the casual conversation that the prince heard that there was a flower country event in the Neiqiao area, and Li Xianweng was going to stage his new play at the event, so he wanted to see it, so he left with a few entourages. Imperial Doctor Shen drew lots to stay in the house, and he was feeling unlucky. Because the prince has planned to live on the side of the inner bridge for a few days, have a good time, and will return to Beijing after the beginning of spring, I don't know if there will be such an opportunity to come out to play again in the future.

Imperial Physician Shen still regretted the good opportunity, and Zhen Li had already signaled the dead soldiers who were traveling with him to retreat. As he left, he glanced in the direction of the inner bridge and decided in his heart that he wanted to change places and continue his actions.

Even if something really happened to the prince, the royal family wouldn't be more accountable for the sake of the prince's reputation, right?
