Hearing his words, Chen Yichen trembled in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, there were eight lives. And these eight people lost their lives because of their swaggering recklessness.

"Well, now tell me all the things you know, and don't deceive half a word. Lord Wang stared at Chen Yichen with cold eyes, shot out a cold light, and said, "If this matter is verified to be true, I will definitely report it to Your Majesty." If it's a non-starter, it's going to make you move, you know. ”

"If the adults can treat me fairly, I have nothing to fear. Listening to Lord Wang's words, Chen Yichen felt a little relieved in his heart.

For more than an hour, Chen Yichen told everything that happened in the past in detail. eavesdropping from the Mocheng Inn to the assassination of Cuilingyi. Whatever I could think of, I didn't miss anything.

"What you said, the government will try to investigate and collect evidence, but Kyoto is far away from Mocheng, and I'm afraid it will take some time. In the meantime, you will be temporarily detained here by the Governor. After Lord Wang sorted everything out, he looked at Chen Yichen and said, "Do you have any objections." ”

"The villain is no different, I just ask the adult to give me justice. "Chen Yichen expected before coming here that as long as he stepped on the threshold of Jingzhao Mansion, he was afraid that it would be difficult to leave, but with only a glimmer of hope, it was worth trying.

"Well, if that's the case, the government will do you justice. Lord Wang waved his hand and said to the soldiers: "For the time being, put him in prison and treat him well. ”

"Wow. ”

Two soldiers carried Chen Yichen to the prison. The environment here is much better than the dungeons in Ink City, and even better than where you live now.

A horse-drawn carriage galloped through the bustling streets and stopped after passing through the palace gates. A person got out of the car and walked towards the inner garden of the palace with flying steps.

"Your Majesty, the King of Jingzhao Mansion asks to see you. ”

"Let him in. Emperor Jing picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

"Your Majesty, the man has been found. Lord Wang stood beside Emperor Jing and lowered his voice.

"Who?"

"Chen Yichen from Mocheng. ”

"Oh. If you don't say it, I've almost forgotten. Emperor Jing suddenly realized, his black eyes rolled, and said, "Hasn't been killed yet?" Are you sure it's him?"

"I'm sure it's him, but I don't know where he's gone during this time, and he's dressed like a beggar. The minister has detained him in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, does His Majesty want to see him? ”

"See him! Emperor Jing put his hands together, turned his two thumbs quickly, and said, "It's a little interesting, and you also know that you can disguise yourself as a beggar, so that you can avoid their pursuit?"

"Your Majesty Mingjian, the minister also thinks so, this person looks dull, and seems to be quite scheming. ”

"Not true. Emperor Jing shook his head slowly and said, "The killer sent leaked his whereabouts, but he didn't kill anyone. ”

"Your Majesty means that the killer deliberately leaked the news that the third prince was going to kill him, and didn't really want to take his life?" Lord Wang thought for a moment and said slowly: "If the killer is suspicious, why do you want to say that the third prince is behind the scenes. ”

"It's not about him, it's about you, and I'm listening. Hmph, it's getting more and more interesting. The corner of Emperor Jing's mouth sneered, and said, "Don't forget, the person who is traveling with you is also the dart flag general Wu Gang." ”

"Your Majesty means that the killer deliberately leaked his whereabouts in order to frame the Third Highness through their mouths. ”

"I don't mean anything. Emperor Jing stood up, slowly walked to the charcoal stove, and said, "Oh, you go first." By the way, this matter still has to be investigated secretly. As for that Chen Yichen, stay for the time being. If anyone goes to visit the prison, let him go, and if anyone wants to let him go, let him go. ”

"Wow. ”

Emperor Jing picked up a few pieces of charcoal and threw them into the charcoal stove casually, the corners of his mouth flashed, I don't know whether it was a bitter smile or a sneer, and he whispered softly: "The fire has burned, burn it." ”

"Father-in-law Li. ”

"The minions are here. ”

"Tell the world that the third prince Xiao Mingxu was named the king of Luoping, and he was fiefdomed Luo Pingyuan. King Luoping was limited to leave Beijing within ten days and return to his fiefdom. ”

For five days in a row, Chen Yichen seemed to be abandoned, and three meals a day were delivered on time, but no one cared. Even he wondered if he had forgotten about it. The only thing that can be done now is to wait quietly for the results of the investigation. And no one disturbed him for the past five days, which also allowed him to concentrate on practicing the cold weather trick.

Five days, whether it is long or not, whether it is short or not, the key is what kind of mood you have. For Chen Yichen, these five days passed quickly, and the whole day of cultivation made the cold current in his body more and more obvious. From the initial faint cold, a clear stream has gradually formed, and the control of it has gradually become proficient. can't be at ease, but he can also control the cold current in the body and swim in the eight veins of the strange meridians.

"Chen Yichen, someone is visiting. ”

Chen Yichen, who was meditating on the exercises, was a little surprised when he heard the jailer's words, there were still people who came to visit him in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, I am afraid that only Xiao Zichen, only he knew that he had come to Jingzhao Mansion.

Slowly opening his eyes and seeing the person in front of him, Chen Yichen was still stunned. He was able to come and visit, which was something he never expected.

"Senior, how did you get here?" Chen Yichen was dumbfounded, staring at the old man in front of him with a blank expression.

"Hey, kid, of course I walked in. The person who came was the old man who blackmailed Chen Yichen with all the silver taels, he carried a food box in his hand, opened it and took out the roast chicken inside, sat on the ground with a butt, and said: "Stinky boy, leave without saying a word, dare to run here to enjoy Qingfu, the environment is not bad, it is indeed better than mine." ”

"Senpai, I mean, how did you know I was here. Chen Yichen thought he had brought a roast chicken to himself, but he didn't expect to tear off a chicken leg and eat it himself.

"Who am I, there's nothing in Kyoto City that Hanako doesn't know. The old man tore off another chicken leg, handed it to Chen Yichen, and said, "Go buy roast chicken, I happened to pass by here, and I came to see you by the way." ”

"Here we go again, you know the whole Kyoto people, and the person who asked you to inquire about it still hasn't been missing. Chen Yichen was angry when he thought of this, threw the chicken leg into the food box, and said, "You can eat it yourself, I won't eat it." ”

"Hehe, you think I'm as stupid as you are. The old man lowered his voice and said slowly: "I have long known that Xiao Zichen is the third prince, boy, can I tell you." With your three-legged cat's kung fu, you still want to go to the murderer's house single-handedly, and you look down on the guards around him too much. ”

"So you already knew. Chen Yichen glared at him and said, "Since you know, why didn't you tell me." Swindler. ”

"Tell you, let you go to death. The old man didn't even look at him, but the rest of his eyes stayed on one side, and said, "The popularity is good, and there are still people who come to see you." ”

"That's prison food. The old man's outstretched arm grabbed the flask, and gave him an angry look.

"Is this going to be beheaded?" the old man glanced at the food on the ground, including fish, meat, and wine. said: "The food is so hearty, it's the last meal." ”

"Who wants to ask?" Chen Yichen was shocked. Glancing at the food on the ground, before he could eat it, he said, "This meal is no different from usual." ”

"What? You usually eat this?" the old man glared at Chen Yichen, then looked at the food on the ground, and muttered to himself: "The food in the prison is so good, this is a good place to live in the old age." ”

"Bah, can you hope I get better. Chen Yichen snatched the wine jug from his hand and said, "How did you know that I was here?" ”

"Now that the news has spread outside, the third prince Xiao Mingxu has been named the king of Luoping, and he will go to the fiefdom on the same day. The old man snatched the flask and continued: "Xiao Mingxu was crowned king, which means that he has no chance to be in the East Palace. You disappeared for no reason, and he was crowned king, I guess this matter has something to do with you. The place that can decide the life and death of the prince can be anywhere other than this Jingzhao Mansion, so the news that you are locked up here can be guessed with your toes. ”

"You're a scheming liar who cheated me out of my money. ”

"Boy, though I don't know what the grudge is between you. If I had told you Xiao Mingxu's whereabouts earlier, would you have killed him? The old man looked at Chen Yichen with a solemn face and said, "I expected that you would definitely go, then you will only have one consequence, that is, you will die without a place to be buried." ”

"How can you be sure that it will be me who will die. ”

"Joke, you are a prince, if there is no one around to protect you, you don't know how many times you have died. The old man sneered and said, "With your own strength, it is difficult to kill him than to ascend to the sky, and the current ending may be the best." ”

"No way. Chen Yichen secretly gritted his teeth and said: "I have a deep hatred with him, even if the emperor doesn't deal with him, I will inevitably kill him with my own hands." ”

"It is already considered a disposal to make him the king of Luoping, you must know that Luoping is a barren land, cold and frozen all year round, known as purgatory on earth. Where did you go and want to come back alive, hehe, if you are an ordinary person, there is a glimmer of hope. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"What, don't you know?" The old man looked at Chen Yichen with a serious face, as if he really didn't know, and continued: "Xiao Mingxu had a strange illness when he was young, whether it was the doctor of the Tai Hospital or the name of the community, he invited countless people, but he still can't be cured. ”

"What disease?" Chen Yichen really doesn't know much about Xiao Mingxu.

"If I knew what the disease was, I would have prescribed the right medicine a long time ago, and I invited countless famous doctors but couldn't find the source of the disease. The old man took a sip of wine, smashed his mouth, and said, "This disease is indeed strange, and it is said that the disease is drowsiness. ”

"What do you mean?"

"You know, this brain, it's a good thing. The old man glanced at Chen Yichen helplessly and said, "Take us as an example, we can sleep all night." And Xiao Mingxu's sleep is less than a day, and more than a month. ”

"What kind of illness is this, isn't it just snooze?" Chen Yichen disagreed, he used to go hunting in the mountains, and it often happened that he slept for two days after coming back.

"The old man is proud of your profound ignorance. For the first time, the old man used the word old man to describe himself, and he forcibly endured the resentment in his heart.

"What, how?" Chen Yichen saw the helplessness on his face, but he didn't know what to say.

"Although sleeping can only consume very little physical energy, then you can try to sleep for ten days, without eating or drinking, and see if you can wake up. The old man looked at him disdainfully, pointed at him again and again, and said, "You brain......

"What the seniors said makes sense. Chen Yichen was used to him teasing himself, and continued: "If you don't eat or drink, don't say ten days, sleep for three days, I'm afraid that people will already wake up hungry." ”

"That's right, it's because he can't wake up. If he hadn't been fed some liquid food, he would have slept to death many times. The old man wiped the corners of his mouth, burped, got up from the ground, and said, "Since you are not dead, I will go first." ”

"Hey, what do you mean by that?"

As soon as Chen Yichen's words fell, he saw him turn around, stared at Chen Yichen, and said with a solemn face: "If you have any money, give me some." ”

"Money?" Chen Yichen almost forgot what Qian looked like, and when he mentioned money, he hated it so much that he hated it, and said: "All the money was given to you, and you even asked me for money." ”

"Really?" the old man saw that his head shook like a rattle, smashed his mouth, and turned to leave.

"Hey, you haven't said what you want money for?"

Hearing Chen Yichen's words, the old man stopped, tilted his head slightly, squinted at Chen Yichen with small eyes, and said slowly: "It's nothing, buy a coffin, and I'll collect your body in a few days." ”

"You ......" Chen Yichen was so angry that he didn't know what to say, and pointed at him tremblingly, until he disappeared from sight, and did not say the following words.
