When Kodak returned to the Marshal's Mansion, he called the butler. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"My lord, what do you command?"

"Old Xue, how long have you been with me?"

The housekeeper glanced at Kodak uneasily, and said with a smile: "Back to my lord, it's been fifteen years."

"How is Ben Shuai's family treating you?"

"Nature is excellent." The butler knelt on the ground all of a sudden, his body trembling like a sieve: "My lord, if you have anything to say, please speak directly, slave, slave ......"

Kodak watched him quietly for a long time, and then said slowly: "Yesterday morning, Ben Shuai said that no one needs to follow, but butler, you seem to be very concerned about Ben Shuai's safety, and you actually sent someone to secretly follow Ben Shuai."

When the butler heard this, he began to kowtow vigorously and shouted, "My lord! The minions don't have them, how can the minions send someone to follow you! Give a hundred minions the guts, and the minions don't dare! ”

Kodak ignored him and began to talk about other things to himself: "I heard that your son has lost a lot of money in gambling recently, and your daughter seems to have been entangled by a bully recently."

When the butler heard Kodak say this, his body froze suddenly.

"Your Excellency...... You ......"

"You're trying to tell me how I know, right?" Kodak got up from his seat and walked over to the butler's side and said, "You can find out these things by looking up a little bit." The son lost the money, the gambling house arrested someone, and the daughter was bullied by the bullies, someone must have helped you, right? ”

The butler kept his head down, his body was constantly trembling, he didn't dare to raise his head, he didn't dare to look at this master.

"Say! Who the hell wants you to treat Ben Shuai like this! ”

When the housekeeper heard Kodak's questioning, tears flowed down his eyes, on the one hand, loyalty, on the other hand, the lives of his children, he really didn't know what to do, he was innocent, why did he have to bear these pains?

"Your Excellency, ......"

Kodak looked at the housekeeper who had followed him for many years kneeling in front of him crying bitterly, and his heart was not very comfortable, so he said in a softer voice: "Old Xue, you say, don't worry, I will help your child."

The butler looked up at Kodak and finally nodded, that was the trust in his master.

"My lord, it's ......"

Just as the butler was about to say who it was, an arrow was shot from the window, and it hit the butler's heart.

When Kodak saw it, he shouted, "Someone!"

The marshal's guards also discovered the presence of the Assassins and went to arrest them.

Kodak lifted the butler, who used his last strength to tell who was behind the scenes, and looked at him with hopeful eyes before he died, hoping that he could take care of his children.

Kodak sighed at the end.

"Someone!"

The guard came in from outside the door and said respectfully, "My lord, people are chasing!"

"Find some people to prepare for Lao Xue."

"Yes!"

After the men carried the butler's body out, Kodak asked people to prepare a carriage to pick up people at the inn. Since he dares to come to his Marshal's Mansion, he must dare to make a move against the five princes, oh, no. They just want to make a move on the five princes!

"My lord, Lord Shangshu is here to visit."

"Oh? Old Hu, let him in! ”

After Shang Shu Hu Ge came in, he hurriedly walked to Kodak's side: "Old Ke, have you heard about the second prince?"

"What's wrong?"

"I heard that the second prince is going to Yuhuai County!"

"What!"

Yuhuai County, just listen to the name and know that it is the land of fish and rice, but the corruption has been more serious recently. The people have long been resentful. The third prince was sent there, but he was killed before he could go.

Let the second prince go this time, isn't that equivalent to promoting the second prince?

"How so?"

"I don't know, the people in the palace said that the emperor went to Concubine Xiang last night, and then the second prince also went. After eating a meal, this Hunan concubine was favored, and the second prince was also reused! "Hu Ge and Kodak are both from the faction of the Five Princes, so it is not good for them for the Second Princes to be reused.

Kodak looked around and whispered in Hu Ge's ear: "Old Hu, the fifth prince is back, and I have already sent someone to pick him up."

"What?" Hu Ge shouted loudly, but was stopped by Kodak, so Hu Ge also whispered: "The fifth prince is back!" Where is it? Hu Ge was shocked when he heard the news, isn't it in Wanchengguan, how can he be in Kyoto?

"When the prince returns, you will understand everything."

Hu Ge and Kodak waited anxiously.

In less than half an hour, Mu He and the others were taken to the Marshal's Mansion, because Mu He's special identity and the Marshal's Mansion was not very safe, so Mu He wore a mask.

Mu He and the others went directly to Kodak's study to find them, and Zuo Liang asked a few of them to guard around the study.

In the study, Mu He took off his mask, and Hu Ge knelt in front of him all of a sudden.

"Prince!" While waiting, Kodak had already told Hu Ge what happened to Mu He, and Hu Ge was terrified after hearing it.

"It's the minister's fault, if the ministers tried their best to stop it, the emperor might not let you go to that dangerous place in Wanchengguan!"

Mu He hurriedly helped Hu Ge up and said with a smile: "No, no, if I don't go, I may end up with the Third Emperor Brother."

Hu Ge didn't know what to say after getting up, he felt that everything was their fault.

"These people are all from the other two countries, this is Jiang Yue, this is Zhu Meng, and this is Zuo Liang." Mu He introduced Hu Ge one by one. After the two sides saluted each other, Hu Ge asked, "When does the prince plan to go to see the emperor and make it clear to the emperor?"

"Old Hu, I think we should tell His Highness about the second prince."

After hearing this, Mu He asked, "Second Emperor Brother? What happened to him? ”

"Your Highness, the second prince is going to be sent by the emperor to Yuhuai County!" Hu Ge said anxiously.

"Being sent to Yuhuai County, this is a good thing, why are you in a hurry?" Mu He didn't know what they were anxious about.

"Your Highness, the second prince was sent to Yuhuai County, which means that he is valued by the emperor, so it is not good for you!" Hu Ge saw that he was not in a hurry at all, but he became more anxious.

After listening to Zhu Meng's translation, Jiang Yue asked, "What kind of person is this second prince?"

Mu He frowned slightly and said, "I don't know very well, I don't have much contact."

Zhu Meng translated Jiang Yue's question, and Hu Ge replied next: "If you want to say that these two princes are really the kind of people who are ambitious and have no eyes, it is his grandfather who has always been by his side to give him advice." The second prince is cautious and can't get used to the good of others, the third prince is trusted by the emperor and sent to Yuhuai County, the second prince always excludes the third prince, and the third prince doesn't care, alas, it's a pity......"

After Jiang Yue listened, she made a bold guess: "Do you say that it will be this second prince who will help Chen Ke?"

After hearing this, Zuo Liang nodded in agreement: "Chen Ke provoked a war between the two countries, and he would inevitably find a person from the royal family as a helper, and this second prince is a person who is eager for quick success, it is very likely that he will be him."

After listening to their analysis, Mu He fell silent.

Zuo Liang translated their words again, Hu Ge and Kodak listened to it again, and it was expected that Hu Ge and Kodak also agreed with their views.

Kodak said: "The one who planted the informant in my house is the prime minister!"
