When the people of Zhao were still talking about the war in the western frontier after tea and dinner, and were immersed in the joy and excitement of victory, they were quickly attracted by another news, that is, the theft of Chengwang's mansion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It is rumored that the eldest lady of Nan'an Houfu, who is also the future princess Cheng, saved a seriously injured man two or three months ago, and the kind-hearted Miss Yu asked for medical treatment for the other party, and finally cured the other party, but the other party was not only ungrateful, but when he left, he stole the things that the first emperor left to His Royal Highness King Cheng, and Miss Yu was so angry that she had a serious illness.

In order to recover the lost property, His Royal Highness King Cheng issued a reward order in the territory of Zhao through the government, and the whole country wanted the thief on the reward order. At the beginning, the bounty was 1,000 taels of silver, but in just one month, it has risen to 1,000 taels of gold. One can imagine how important the stolen things are to His Royal Highness King Cheng.

His Royal Highness King Cheng was originally a high-profile figure for the people of Zhao State, and now that there was an accident in King Cheng's Mansion, it naturally set off a monstrous wave in Zhao State, especially in Shangyang Capital. Everyone is watching the situation unfold, and there are even those who are enthusiastic or have a bounty on their eyes to help find it.

Therefore, since the reward order was issued, Xiao Qian, as the person concerned, has been particularly busy, because he has to meet many so-called "thieves". From the very beginning, he instructed the person in charge of the matter in the government to report to him immediately if anyone provided clues or caught a suspicious person.

Therefore, every time someone from the government came to report that he had caught a suspicious person, although he knew that the possibility was very small, he was afraid that something would go wrong, so he still personally checked it every time and made sure that it was not the person he was looking for, and then he would release the person who had been arrested by mistake.

However, a month has passed, and there is still no trace of the man in black who said goodbye, as if this person suddenly disappeared from the world.

Moon Pavilion.

Since seeing the letter left by the man in black, Yu Jinjiao, who originally put eating and sleeping first, has not slept peacefully, nor has she eaten a good meal, and after a month, she has lost a lot of weight and haggard.

Xiao Qian looked at her who was getting thinner and thinner and her patience had been exhausted, and he was in a hurry, if he couldn't catch the man in black, there would be no way to find out the matter, could it be difficult for him to ask the emperor directly? He didn't believe that it was the emperor who killed the Jade Marquis, if this came out of his mouth, it was obviously distrustful of the emperor.

The emperor and the queen mother are the closest people he has been to since he was a child, and he doesn't want a few of them to feel uncomfortable because of unwarranted things. Now, the best solution to this matter is to find the man in black and let him explain everything to Jin Jiao in person, so as to clear the emperor's suspicion of murder, so that Jin Jiao can eliminate prejudice and suspicion against the emperor and the entire Xiao family.

After these incidents, now Xiao Qian has also developed a strong interest in the man in black, and he wants to see what the man in black wants to do, what is the man in black trying to do to frame the emperor and destroy his marriage with Jinjiao?

He looked at the person in front of him and said, "Jinjiao, give me some more time, maybe I can find him soon." ”

Yu Jinjiao looked at him quietly, there was silence in her eyes, and her voice debunked him indifferently: "Can you find it soon, the prince should know very well in his heart, this is just an excuse made by the prince for delay, in the end, the prince doesn't believe that this matter is true at all, but my father did die strangely back then, and died suddenly without illness or injury, doesn't the prince feel strange?" At that time, the emperor did not believe the news of my father's violent death, and specially asked the doctor in the palace to see if my father was still saved. ”

"It's just your guess." When Xiao Qian heard her say this, he only felt harsh, and defended: "The world is impermanent, many things are unpredictable, and no one thought that the Jade Marquis would die suddenly. Do you believe that the emperor killed the Jade Marquis, but why did the emperor kill the Jade Marquis? What's in it for the emperor? ”

Yu Jinjiao smiled, but her smile was cold and ruthless: "I can only ask the emperor himself." If you don't want people to know what to do unless you do it, the emperor probably didn't expect that someone knew his hidden secrets, and it just so happened that this person was saved by me again, which may be the will of God. Heaven is a good reincarnation, and those who do evil will be punished after all. ”

"You ......" Xiao Qian's heart suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, this month's tossing really made him feel exhausted. On the one hand, there is the woman he loves deeply and hand in hand until he grows old, on the other hand, there is his younger brother who loves him and respects him, not to mention the queen mother who rescued him from the sea of misery when he was neglected and bullied when he was a child, he really doesn't know how to solve this matter perfectly without hurting anyone.

He propped his elbows on the table, clenched his hands into fists against his forehead and thought for a long, long time, knowing that even if he dragged on any longer, the hope of finding the man in black was still very slim, so he had to face the problem in front of him.

He frowned and asked tiredly, "What are you going to do if you can't find the man in black in the end?" Directly enter the palace and kill the emperor? "It sounds a bit of a gamble.

Yu Jinjiao was silent, and after a while, she gently held his hand and said, "I know that the prince is embarrassed, although my father's sudden death is a knot in my heart that I can't untie, but I don't want to wronged a good person." Why don't we do an experiment and find someone to spread the news of my father's assassination, and see if the emperor will show himself because he can't hold back his temperament because he is a thief. If it was really the emperor who killed my father, the emperor would definitely be afraid of the East Window incident, and for the sake of safety, it would be very likely that he would kill me and my sister, and even the prince would probably not be able to escape suspicion. ”

Xiao Qian listened, and for some reason his palms gradually became wet and cold, and there was a faint panic in his heart. What is he afraid of? Are you afraid of the dangers that may come with this test? Or are you afraid to see the results of the trial? Isn't he convinced that it wasn't the emperor who did it? Why are you still upset?

At this moment, he suddenly and inexplicably thought of King Xizhao's escape from Shangyang Imperial Prison, when he concluded that there was a high-ranking thief in the court, but he couldn't find any clues, could this also be related to the emperor?

The more Xiao Qian thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, he looked at the person in front of him with heavy eyes and asked: "I remember you said that when the emperor sent additional troops and horses to the west, he saw you, and named the Jade Marquis as the prince of the country and you as the county lord?" ”

Yu Jinjiao saw that his expression was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Yes, I felt strange at that time. Did the prince find something? ”

Xiao Qian shook his head and pondered secretly. I heard that the ministers of the court and China at that time debated for several days about whether to send more troops and horses to the west, but there was still no unified opinion, but after Jinjiao entered the palace to meet the emperor, the emperor decided to send more troops and horses.

At that time, the emperor mentioned the death of the Jade Marquis...... Does the emperor simply want to chase the Jade Marquis, or does he want to test something? There is also the matter of sending more troops and horses, the border is in danger, shouldn't the additional troops and horses be sent as soon as possible? Why did the emperor delay in giving the order? What is he waiting for? Wait for Jinjiao to enter the palace to confirm something? What did he want to confirm?
