The autumn night sky is high and the stars are sparse, the moonlight is dappled, and the shadows of the trees are swaying. Linglong followed behind the carriage, not far away.

The carriage turned into Donghua Hutong and stopped in front of a large mansion. The front of the mansion is brightly lit, and the bluestone floor in front of the door is smeared with a layer of red light. The man who looked like a eunuch came out, put on the footstool, rolled up the curtains, and Linglong saw a pair of feet wearing foundation soap boots on the footstool, and then she saw the owner of the feet, he was wearing a black cloak, and under the light, the light reflected the gold and silver threads.

From Linglong's point of view, he could only see his upright and pine-like figure, ink-dyed sideburns, he walked towards the gate surrounded by a group of followers, but stopped again, turned to look at the place where Linglong was hiding, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, his cheeks were like fine jade, graceful and luxurious, and he exuded a faint brilliance in the warm red light.

Linglong hid behind a locust tree, her heart was pounding, she had seen this person, this was the Twelve Princes, he had martial arts, he shouldn't have discovered her hiding place.

She didn't dare to look any more, shrunk her body to the smallest and curled up behind a tree. Then she heard someone approaching, it was two people, their footsteps were very light, and the weapons made a rustling sound between their robes.

Linglong held her breath, there are so many people on the other side, with her current skills, she can only run for her life, and she can't resist at all, but if she runs away now, it will only cause greater movement, it is better to let them catch her, she is just a twelve-year-old child, and she is wearing men's clothes, so late, there is a child alone outside, except for the night clothes on her body, everything else can be confused by getting lost.

Her brain was spinning, yes. She can be said to be running out to play with the chivalrous man in the book

Unexpectedly, the two men walked over from the big tree where she was hiding, and before Linglong could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw the two of them leap to a tree at lightning speed, branches and leaves fell down, and when they jumped down, they were still carrying a person in their hands, a night walker dressed like Linglong.

Linglong couldn't help but want to pat her heart and make a false alarm. It turned out that it wasn't her who exposed Xingzang. It's another person.

A few more guards trotted over, and with them, tied the man with a cowhide rope, and shoved him towards the gate. Linglong poked her head out. But he saw that the twelve princes had already entered the gate. Only the corners of the garment with gold threads could be seen. Surrounded by a crowd of people, he walked through the door.

Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that her heart was still beating wildly, and she didn't know what was going on. You haven't done business for a long time and have become timid?

It turns out that this is the residence of the Twelve Princes, and it is very close to Junyi Street, where Master lives. When Shi Er came back, he proposed to take a trip here, and the person who was caught just now was probably also an expert. It seems that this place has long been targeted, and we must preempt others, lest these stupid people startle the snake, if the guards here are strengthened, then their master and apprentice will lose more than they gain.

The gate was still brightly lit, but it was already quiet, and Linglong saw that no one was paying attention, so she turned and ran towards the road from which she came, and soon disappeared into the night.

In the warm pavilion, the young man had taken off his cloak embroidered with gold thread, and changed into a silver-white cloud brocade plain face collar straight jacket, and the green silk was tied with an ancient jade hairpin, revealing the sideburns of the crow.

He sat at the table with a small leaf red sandalwood carved dragon drum leg Peng Yakang, and used a hairpin to pluck a bronze gilt Western enamel bell.

"Your Highness, that man had poison hidden in his mouth, and he was already dead when he dragged it in." One of the guards whispered, his voice muffled.

The young man's attention was on the clock in his hand, and he didn't raise his head, and said casually: "Report to the official, let the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division carry the corpse away, don't make me dirty here." ”

The guards were stunned, His Highness's affairs actually wanted to let the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses interfere?

"That," he opened his mouth, swallowing the words from his mouth and silently withdrew.

When he walked out of the courtyard, there were already a few guards waiting outside the Weeping Flower Gate, and when they saw him come out, they greeted him one after another: "Xue Tou'er, what does Your Highness command?" ”

Xue Jin was twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a dark and thin face, ordinary facial features, and a straight figure like a spear.

"Your Highness asked the people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division to come over and report to the official."

Several guards were taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What's the use of calling those boys, with our brothers here, does Your Highness still expect them to investigate the case and arrest people?" ”

One said, "Why don't we go and ask the Flash Guard?" ”

Another human: "It's hard to protect the flash guard, and I'm still lying on the kang, so it's useless to ask him." ”

Xue Jin coughed dryly, and these people stopped talking, and they all looked at him.

"What His Highness ordered us to die is, and we will not give up, let alone today's affairs. Daniel Zhang, you got the sign, went to the Five Cities Terracotta Division, called the gang of idle eaters, and also found something for them to do; Ding Meng, you take two people to search the outside of the house to see if there are any clues; Sun Jiabao, Zhang Yi, you two come with me, while the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division have not yet come, and then take a good look at what clues there are on that person. ”

The guards were well-trained, and they soon dispersed. Seeing that they were all gone, the flower carving flashed out from behind an autumn hibiscus, looked at the backs of those people and smiled slightly, and walked into the courtyard where the twelve princes lived.

The Twelve Princes were still concentrating on fiddling with the Jin Yang Bell, and when a eunuch came in to spread the word, he just hummed, and his eyes never left the Jin Yang Bell.

Huadiao is wearing a red Yutang spring makeup gown, apricot face and peach cheeks, people are more delicate than flowers, if it weren't for those cold eyes, how she looks at it, she is also a charming and colorful beauty.

She gave the Twelve Princes a full salute, and then stood aside and watched the Twelve Princes fiddle with the Western clock. The hands of the twelve princes are slender and well-proportioned, with distinct joints, and under the faint candlelight, they are like glazed fine white porcelain.

"They're all scattered?" The Twelve Princes did not raise their eyes, and their voices were detached.

Hua Diao smiled before speaking: "It's all scattered, everyone does their own things, Xue Jin has a lot of leadership skills." ”

The Twelve Princes finally raised their eyes and looked at Huadiao: "The people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are here, and they will give the leader fifty taels of hard-earned money, and the others will each reward ten taels of silver, so that they can make a big deal and make a big deal about this matter." ”

Hua Diao responded, and asked: "Xue Jin seems to be dissatisfied with Zhanchen, and wants to take this opportunity to step on Zhanchen's upper position." ”

The Twelfth Prince sneered, threw away the silver hairpin in his hand, and said: "Then use him to give Zhanchen eye medicine, don't think that he is a meritorious service by taking the board for me, and when he is injured, let him take those people to guard the outer courtyard to see how he can report to his father." ”

Hua Diao smiled and trembled, Your Highness, this is really a good idea, there is no better idea than this.

"What about Xue Jin? Is it up to him? Hua Diao asked.

The Twelfth Prince fiddled with the Western clock again, and said lightly: "He wants to be promoted and make a fortune, I will give him a chance, it depends on whether he dares to exchange his life." ”

Yes, people who value fame and fortune very much are the best ones to master.
