"What? You said the hostages had returned home safely?"

Cheng Jinzhi was originally worried about whether she could hide it from the world this time and let the Cheng family regard herself as a life-saving benefactor, but now when she heard Shen Jun report that Cheng Xiuning and Cheng Yu had returned home safely, she was so shocked that she immediately stood up from the stool with a look of disbelief.

When Gao Heng heard this, although he did not react as violently as Cheng Jinzhi and Gao Xun, a suspicious solemnity rose between his eyebrows.

"Yes, the person sent by the Cheng Mansion to deliver the message did say so. ”

"Yuyin Villa let us go without telling us, which doesn't make sense. Is this the legendary distraction?"

Cheng Jinzhi guessed in confusion, turned his head to look at Gao Heng, and saw that he was still silent, so he picked up his fingertips and poked his arm, wanting to seek a definite answer.

"Are you sure that the one who came to report the news is someone from the Cheng Mansion?" Gao Heng's eyes turned slightly, "It's an eventful time now, and maybe someone else will take advantage of the situation and make a hindrance." ”

"This subordinate is not sure. Shen Jun twisted the corners of his eyebrows lightly, pondered for a moment before continuing, "But judging from his clothes, it is indeed the dress of the Cheng Mansion's servants, and other than that... The subordinates didn't find anything wrong. ”

"Where is that man at the moment?"

After hearing his message, his subordinates let him go back. Shen Jun said and suddenly said with self-reproach, "It was the negligence of his subordinates, and he should have been asked to come and inform His Highness in person, and ask His Highness for forgiveness." ”

"No problem, if there are really people who are trying to get into trouble, we can't prevent it. Gao Heng waved his hand and said thoughtfully, "But regarding the hostage, no one else should think of coming to the Yan Palace, I think he should be someone sent by the Cheng family." ”

"Then Your Highness, what do you mean, is it really Yuyin Villa who released people without permission?"

Cheng Jinzhi folded his hands around his shoulders, pursed the corners of his lips, and seemed to have a skeptical attitude towards this matter.

"No, I always feel that something is wrong, and there is no reason for Yuyin Villa to release people like this. ”

Gao Heng paced forward a few steps, stopped and closed his eyes slightly, and an extremely strange feeling suddenly brewed in his heart, which made him vaguely feel as if an invisible net was quietly opening somewhere in this long dark night, approaching him and the people around him step by step.

"Oh, let's not guess, yes or no, just send someone to Shuyu Pavilion to verify it. At this time, Gao Xun couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up with a slap on the table, "If the hostages are really gone, we have to let those people in Yuyin Villa give us an explanation." ”

"Go to the Jade Pavilion ......"

Gao Heng spit out a few words thoughtfully, and suddenly his eyes darkened, he raised his eyes to look at the other three people around him, and said unhurriedly: "No matter who it is, the first reaction when you hear that the hostages are released for no reason will be the same as you, sixth brother, and want to check if they are safe, right?"

Gao Heng's eyes froze, and then he looked at Shen Jun to the side: "Shen Jun, you are very strong, you go to the outside of the palace now to see, is there any unknown person in the vicinity who is stopping here?"

"Yes. ”

Shen Jun bowed down to receive the order, and immediately left, and soon disappeared into the night.

Looking at the direction in which Shen Jun left, Gao Xun looked a little puzzled: "Third brother, what do you want to say?"

"Assuming that the hostages did not return to Cheng Mansion, then what do you say, what is Cheng Yan's purpose in doing this?"

Gao Heng's eyes swept sharply over the two of them, but he felt a little worried about what he said.

If everything is really as he guessed, then there is only one possibility, that is, Cheng Yan must have discovered some clues and pointed the spearhead of suspicion at Yanwangfu, so he will use this trick to test.

As soon as Cheng Jinzhi and Gao Xun heard Gao Heng's words, they immediately sensed one or two in their hearts, and the two glanced at each other, and their faces became a little dignified.

"You mean, this is a trap, my second sister and they didn't go back to the house at all, the reason why that old man did this is to deliberately try us, want us to show our feet?"

Cheng Jinzhi was still startled one second ago, and the next second he immediately turned his face and tightened his cheeks.

"Yes, he has the same idea as His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and he sees that we will send someone to verify the location where the hostages are hidden, as long as someone walks out of the Yanwang Mansion, they can follow them all the way, so you let Shen Jun ......"

She stopped abruptly at this point, a trace of melancholy crossed her eyebrows, and she lowered her eyes and blamed herself: "Is it that I was too flustered when I heard them mention Shuyu Pavilion in Cheng Mansion today, so they noticed it?"

"Don't think about it, you've done a great job today. ”

Gao Heng clasped his hands on Cheng Jinzhi's shoulders and whispered softly, then raised his head and said, "Now it seems that the method we said before will no longer work." Just in case, assuming that there are really people outside the palace who are watching our every move now, the only way to do this is to turn the tiger away from the mountain. ”

"Your Highness. ”

As soon as Gao Heng finished speaking, he saw that Shen Jun, who had just left before, had already hurriedly walked over with a sword.

"As Your Highness expected, at the entrance of the alley in front of the palace, two unidentified people were indeed found parked there, and the direction of observation was the gate of our palace. And by the wall of the back door, a person with strange behavior was also found, and it was these three people who made his subordinates feel suspicious. ”

"Shen Jun, you are so powerful, are you flying in the sky to see it?" Cheng Jinzhi made a bird's wings movement, showing an admiring expression, "It's dark outside at this time, and you've investigated it all after a while." ”

The princess laughed, and her subordinates just took a few condescending glances on the roof tiles, and it didn't take much time and effort. ”

Shen Jun scratched his head embarrassedly, and listened to Gao Heng's solemn expression: "You have been doing things by my side, they must know you, so you will leave the palace first to attract their attention." I'll send another person dressed up as me and ride in my carriage in the other direction. When the men saw my carriage, they would follow closely behind, and when all the people had withdrawn, and at last I would be much safer when I left the house. ”

"You also want to leave the house?" Cheng Jinzhi heard this, leaned over and said in a strange tone, "Where are you going in the middle of the night?"

"Naturally, it's the Jade Pavilion. Gao Heng put his hand behind his back and didn't see the strange expression on Cheng Jinzhi's face, "Since Cheng Yan has already suspected us, instead of sending people back and forth to add more uncertain factors, it is better for me to go and end this matter in person, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

"Are you going to Shuyu Pavilion?" Cheng Jinzhi walked up to Gao Heng when he heard this, and said eagerly, "Then I'll go too!"

"What are you going to do?" Gao Heng glanced at her in surprise, "You're tired all day, so it's better to stay in the mansion and rest." ”

"Don't. ”

Cheng Jinzhi raised his chin reluctantly, paused for a moment, and then pursed his lips unnaturally, his eyes still flickering a little.

"That place in the Jade Pavilion, you go alone, I don't worry. ”
