Zhen Li led people to sneak into the gathering place of the wind and moon in Neiqiaozhu City, the prosperous place of gold powder in the Six Dynasties. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, they just wanted to secretly investigate the traces of the prince and his party, but as soon as they entered, they were blind.

It was the time of the flower country festival, the tourists were weaving, the lights were bright, the day and night were reversed, it was lively, everywhere were gorgeously dressed men and women, even if a few of them were dressed simply, no one was dressed in black. When they entered, it was difficult to find even a dark place to hide from people, and when they met people, they were watched as if they were freaks. Zhen is old in doing things, and at a glance, he knows that he can't sneak in this way.

They had no choice but to retreat, wait until daytime, change into their daily clothes, and make a comeback. At that time, it was the time when the Qinglou Chu Pavilion was resting, and the area around the inner bridge was much quieter. However, the people on the Fengyue Field were resting, but it was the turn of the general public who came to play. The street is still lively everywhere, and the teahouses, taverns, and gardens are constantly sounding and the tourists are endless. Originally, the first month was nearing the end, and the number of visitors should be reduced, but this year, the governor of the prince is very elegant, and he wants to invite the drama masters who came to participate in the flower country festival to rehearse new plays and stage classic plays, and this excitement will continue, but I am afraid that it will continue until after the beginning of spring.

Fortunately, in such an environment, Zhen Li and the others, who changed into normal clothes, were not so conspicuous, and they also happened to find out where the prince and his party were staying. It's just that there are many green houses and inns in the inner bridge, and there are also secret doors or private houses that receive guests to stay, and if you want to find someone, if you don't have a well-informed local to help you inquire, it is really difficult.

How could Zhen Li alarm the well-informed locals? If one is not careful, it will be remembered. In the future, when the prince had an accident, the imperial court tracked it down and revealed his whereabouts, wouldn't it bring disaster to the Tu family? Zhen Li was bent on making the prince's accident an accident, and he only planned to do it quietly, and he had no intention of alarming too many people, so he had to take his dead soldiers to investigate quietly and honestly visit them one by one.

That area is all densely populated, there are many people living in the first place, there are three religions and nine streams, not to mention that there are many tourists now, there are a large number of tourists coming and going every day, want to find someone, where is it so easy? And Huang Jincheng and Qin Bai even united the governor's yamen, it is impossible to give Zhen Li the opportunity to visit quietly, and one day of dissatisfaction, there was an "accident".

A dead soldier with a gloomy and withdrawn temperament brought by Zhen Li accidentally met a local official known as a romantic official in Jinling, and Huang Jincheng's people secretly made trouble, causing a conflict between the two sides. The conflict is not big, if it is handled by Zhen Li, it can be solved in a few words, but the dead man is not a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing, and he has a grudge with the other party.

The chief officer in front of him opened his mouth and said, "Boy, you have a kind! If you have the ability to report your name, our family will go to your family to settle accounts!" The long man was cold behind him, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked, if it weren't for Zhen Li's secret look at it badly, and quickly ordered someone to take the dead man away, maybe the dead man would have done something to this long man.

It's just that in this way, Chang Sui naturally paid attention to the dead man, and when he turned back and showed the official, the master and servant were not very big-eyed, thinking that such a murderer, looking at the dress is not a rich person, dared to be rude to them, and he must find out the details of the other party and take revenge, so he sent someone to investigate.

Zhen Li had to take his subordinates to change their accommodation, and he didn't dare to let the dead man appear on the inner bridge again, so as not to really be targeted. The dead soldiers are all black households, and their purpose for coming to Jinling is also invisible, even if they have identity certificates, road guides and other things in their hands, they can't withstand the scrutiny of the government. Zhen Li even complained that the dead man had provoked people who should not be provoked, and angrily drove him back to Huaiqing Bridge to stare at the master and servant of Imperial Doctor Shen, lest the prince would not know when he would go back, and they would not know that he had made the same mistake that Li Yanchao had made.

Zhen Li's subordinates are one less, but the investigation will continue. This time, it was the turn of the intelligence-focused subordinate. During his visit, he was "unlucky" to meet an adult woman who rushed to "catch the adulterer" after hearing the news. Originally, he was just passing by, but because of his sneaky behavior, he was regarded by the other party as a first-class turtle who sneaked to report the news, and they were caught together. No matter how he justified that he wanted to get out, the other party didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and beat him up with the real turtle and the girl-in-law first.

Although this man is quite talented in gathering intelligence, he is not very skilled. The intelligence officers with good skills are all talents valued by the Shu Palace, and they are not so easy to be brought out by Zhen Li, and they don't alarm people. So he was tragic, he was punched several times, and his face was bruised and swollen. Although it was later found out that he was just a passer-by, the domestic servant brought by the lady let him go, but he did not know that he was kicked in the abdomen by someone, and there was no major problem at the time, but after that, there was a faint pain, and gradually the pain became worse and worse, and he could not even walk.

Zhen Li knew that it was not good when he saw this, although the life of the dead soldier was not valuable, but he still needed manpower, this person obviously injured his internal organs, if it was not good to live and raise, please ask the doctor to take medicine, I am afraid it will not be better. Where is the time to treat his injuries now? Zhen Youli had no choice but to let him go back to his residence to recuperate, and wanted to continue to let him participate in the investigation work, but he couldn't.

lost manpower again, and Zhen Li couldn't help but sigh unlucky. He also noticed that it was not as easy as he thought to visit a person in the area of the inner bridge. After finding out, it is even more difficult to get started without knowing it. But the matter has come to this, and the master on his head has an order first, and he can only continue to do it.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and three or four days later, he heard the news that a noble son in his thirties had a happy relationship with a certain merry man at a certain time and place, and he was in harmony with each other. The prince was rumored to be interested in poetry and books, and he was also familiar with the piano, and he was about the same age as this noble son, so Zhen Li rushed over to inquire. Although he didn't meet anyone, the description of an attendant beside the noble prince in the rumors he heard was very similar to a guard in the East Palace, and he only said that he had finally found the main master, and he was immediately ecstatic.

He led people to look for him, and only when he approached the house where the rumored noble son lived, he alarmed the guards in the house, and screamed on the spot, alarming the surrounding people.

It turned out that this noble son was not the crown prince, but a newly made friend of a noble son in Jinling who no one dared to provoke. And the one who no one dares to provoke is the only son of the commander of Jinlingwei, the treasure egg of the family, who is deeply doted, and at the same time he is a muddy person, and he is the most unreasonable. The children of local officials in Jinling, such as the son of the governor, the son of the prefect, the son of the political envoy, etc., will not provoke him when they are free, just because they know that he can't be reasonable, as long as they are polite and give him enough face, he is not stubborn. Where did Zhen Li know this? Just if he could get out as he usually did, he could easily get out, but who knew that the commander made Gongzi feel that he had hurt his face, and he must find out who had infiltrated his new best friend's residence.

In the midst of this, I don't know who gossiped in his ear, saying that the infiltrated person was likely to be unfavorable to him, or to the commander, or even to the assassin, and so on. The command made the son more and more nervous, not only asking the people around him to track it down to the end, but also alarming the rest of the sons, even the guard.

In the area of Neiqiaozhu City, the atmosphere immediately became tense. The people from the guard, the joint governor yamen and the prefect's yamen, who were inadvertently involved, blocked the block, strictly investigated, the number of tourists decreased rapidly, and the news of the small roads in Jinling City flew around.

Although Zhen Lili and his party quietly slipped back to the inn where they stayed, one of the dead soldiers under them was trapped in Zhu City, and Zhen Lili and the others did not necessarily get out.

Zhen Li was secretly anxious, he had his own identity, but he was not afraid of investigation, but the dead soldiers under him were not investigated. The key is that the dead soldier who was trapped in Zhu City, I don't know if anyone was caught, and the one who was guarding near the Huaiqing Bridge house, let alone what happened now. When he was anxious, the officers and soldiers came to the door, and in order to let the officers and soldiers no longer investigate, he had to sacrifice his disguised identity, which was a steward sent by a certain official family in the capital to Jiangnan to buy.

The inquiring officer and soldier heard that he was the official steward from the capital, but he politely returned the road to Zhen Lili, and said: "There are villains in the city who want to do bad things, and I ask Steward Jia to be careful when he goes out, don't let that villain be targeted." Zhen Li responded with a dry smile, and then asked, "What is the origin of that villain?"

The officer and soldier said: "I came here to assassinate our commander, and I don't know what the origin is, I have already caught an accomplice and is being interrogated strictly." ”

Zhen Li's heart sank, and after sending off the officers and soldiers, he walked back and forth in the house non-stop. He was thinking about whether he should withdraw first? Originally, he thought that he had found the prince, but it turned out to be an oolong and alarmed the local health office. Now that things are getting bigger, if you show your tracks, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out.

He didn't know that after the officers and soldiers who questioned him left, someone in the ears of the officers and soldiers talked about the suspiciousness of their group, such as a few days ago when there was a conflict with a certain official at Neiqiao, it is said that some of his companions had a fierce look in their eyes, and they knew at a glance that they were not good people, and for example, one of his entourages pretended to be a turtle prince at the gate of a certain house in Zhushi City, and he didn't know what news to inquire about, and for example, the gangster who appeared near the residence of the commander and the commander Gongzi, who looked very similar to his subordinates, and for example, ...... His claimed identity is quite suspicious, because his so-called master family also has a son who participated in the flower country event, but for some reason he didn't follow the son of the main family, but rented an expensive independent courtyard in a guest house?

The officers and soldiers became suspicious, so they went to ask Zhen Lili who claimed to be the prince of the capital, and the other party denied that his family had sent another steward to Jiangnan to buy, because this was the work he was responsible for, and it was impossible for the family to send another steward.

When the officers and men were convinced, they did not dare to be careless and immediately reported the report. The commander hurriedly ordered to investigate the true identity of Zhen Li and his party, and it didn't take long for someone to tell the truth, saying that the Tu family and his party had been in and out of Shangyuan County, and more than once. The commander made the news, and immediately sent someone to the Shangyuan County Ya to inquire.

The servants and masters of the Li family all have a grudge against Zhen Li, and they don't know what he is here to do. When Li Yanchao fell unconscious after vomiting blood, the name of the Tu family was told by the Li family's servants in front of the desk of the commander of Jinlingwei.
