(In the transitional chapter of this chapter, Li Shangyin is slightly miserable, and all kinds of things are branched out)

In the fifth year of Taihe, the first day of October, the beginning of the unitary period.

Chang'an, Wannian County, Sixteen Princes' Residences, Yingwang's Mansion.

Zhang Yijun and Li Shangyin had just passed through the second gate, but they were suddenly stopped by a thin female voice behind them, "If you wait, please stay......" and Zhang Yijun didn't even turn around, just listening to the slightly proud tone, he knew who it was.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess......" Zhang Yijun and Li Shangyin crossed their hands in salute.

Princess Ankang asked Li Shangyin to avoid for a moment, Zhang Yijun was stunned, the princess is here to find herself? Before leaving, Li Shangyin whispered to Zhang Yijun: "Yishan is waiting in front of the square...... and then bowed to the princess and saluted with his hands crossed, and went straight to the main gate of the palace.

Princess Ankang waited for Li Shang to hide out of the main gate of the palace, and then she turned her eyes to Zhang Yijun again, and said without refusal: "The palm of your hand stretches out......"

Although Zhang Yijun has doubts, why don't you want to let yourself taste the "dim sum" made by the princess? King Ying is not on the side, can he resign himself? Although Zhang Yijun thought so in his heart, he was singing obediently in words, and opened his left palm sporadically decorated with calluses to face the princess.

Princess Ankang mysteriously took out an object from the inside of the belt, but held it with her slender hand, and finally carefully stuffed it into Zhang Yijun's hand.

Zhang Yijun lowered his eyes and saw that this thing looked like a pill, the color was red, and the shell seemed to be made of a thin layer of dark iron, and it was coated with vermilion lacquer. If you touch it slightly, you can feel that the pill is a little heavier than the size of the eye, and it seems to be filled with some kind of heavy object.

Before Zhang Yijun could ask, Princess Ankang had already explained softly: "This is the Xuantie Smoke Pill......

Smoke pills?

Zhang Yi has not never seen a cigarette pill, but the cigarette pill he has seen is far smaller than the number in his hand, and they are all coated with black yellow paint, the cigarette pill often contains white phosphorus, sulfur, reed tassels, rosin, camphor and other substances, all of which are flammable.

"How can Her Royal Highness have such a thing?" Zhang Yijun questioned.

"Mo Shengzhang...... Princess Ankang hurriedly put her index finger in front of her lips and said: "This is given to the master by Shen Zhu, the general of Zuo Jinwu, because General Shen knows that the master often goes in and out of the palace, and is afraid of danger, so he gave this thing as a gift, saying that it is ...... As long as it is burned, the north of the city is thrown out, and the south of the city can also be seen. Uncle Shen said that as long as he saw it, he would bring Jin Wu soldiers to ......"

Zhang Yijun nodded, Chang'an covers a very wide area, and the people who live in the north of the city often don't even go south for a month, and ordinary smoke pills often stop at a few miles and are out of sight, since this smoke pill can make the south of the city see the north of the city, no wonder it will be such a size.

"General Shen gave it to Her Royal Highness the princess, a weapon for self-defense, how dare Yi Jun accept this thing in vain......"

Who knew that after hearing this refusal, Princess Ankang was a little straight, and said like a command: "If you don't refuse what the Lord gives!" Zhang Yijun couldn't refuse, but he thought that when he came to Yingwang's Mansion another day, he would return it to His Royal Highness King Yingwang, and he would transfer it to the princess on his behalf, so he carefully put the vermilion smoke pill the size of half a palm into the oblique bag.

Before Princess Ankang came out of the gate of the palace, she seemed to think of something, and finally looked back and said: "If from now on, don't take any more risks, otherwise ......" The princess then groaned slightly, turned her head, and continued: "Otherwise...... In the future, if the owner has a little heart, I don't know who to give it to......"

Princess Ankang only left this sentence, and without waiting for Zhang Yijun to thank her, she slowly walked out of the house, was picked up by the servants, and drove away from the Yingwang Mansion.

At the beginning of the year.

Zhang Yijun and Li Shangyin walked into a shop in Beiqu, Xingning Fang, the side of the shop was enclosed with a wooden fence, and there were several idle wooden wheels for people to rent, but because the shop was close to closing hours, the front of those wooden wheels was empty, and the horses had already been driven to the stable behind the shop to rest.

When Zhang Yijun proposed to rent a wooden chariot and rush to Guangdefang, the shopkeeper smacked his lips, shook his head again and again, and raised his hand to point in the direction of Danfeng Gate, which means that more drums will sound, at this hour, many coachmen have paid today's remuneration, and it is impossible for anyone to take the work outside the three squares.

It wasn't until Zhang Yi paid three times the price that the coachman who was squatting in the shop and was munching on sesame cakes stood up and said that he was willing to give them a ride, but he could only send them to the door of Guangdefang.

Zhang Yijun and Li Shangyin had no choice, so after negotiating the price, they followed the wooden chariot. The driver drove out of the workshop at a slight speed, and even the wheezing of the horses could be heard through the curtains, but the chariot drove very smoothly unless it was for the corner.

Along the way, Zhang Yijun and Li Shangyin seemed to have their own thoughts, and sat side by side, but they didn't say much.

As layers of clues were presented, Zhang Yijun gradually felt in his heart that the case he was investigating would become more and more dangerous.

What made Zhang Yijun even more uneasy was that although he did not carry his identity document when he entered Chongye Fang last night, if the thief found out Zhang Yijun's identity last night, would his family also be poisoned?

My sister has been married for several years, and she is the daughter-in-law of Cui Xuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, so she should be fine.

But what about Grandpa's side?

Since Zhang Yijun can remember, no matter whether Zhang Yijun is concentrating on studying, sincerely obeying the Tao, or hunting and drinking, or wandering in Pingkang, Grandpa will not care, and will even encourage him.

But there is only one thing that is the death of his father, that is, when Zhang Yijun is in danger of Meng Lang and runs out of the city to never return at night, he will inevitably be beaten. When Zhang Yijun was not yet crowned, he was nineteen years old, and after saving a large sum of money, he ran out of Chang'an all the way to the west alone.

This is also the reason why three years ago, when Zhang Yijun proposed to go to Huazhou and join the Li Deyu shogunate, Zhang's father only cast a cold look and stopped speaking, turned around and went back to the house.

But this time, if the case is really more confusing, should he tell his father the truth?

Zhang Yijun's thoughts were interrupted by the coachman's long call, Li Shangyin opened the curtain and looked at it, and turned to Zhang Yijun: "It's time to Guangdefang!" ”

It was late, the curfew was approaching, and it seemed that the coachman was reluctant to enter the workshop, for fear of breaking the night curfew when he rushed back. After the two got out of the car, they followed the route they had already known through the Yong'an Canal, and after a few corners, the drum sounded just as they reached the gate of the house.

This time, the knock finally didn't wait for a long time like before, but no one answered, Zhang Xi seemed to be guarding the door, and immediately extended the Zhu door.

"Awen......"

Because Zhang Yijun said goodbye to Grandpa and Uncle Xi last night, he sneaked to Xuandu Temple in the third watch, so for the servants in the house, Zhang Yijun seemed to be just leaving the house early in the morning, and then he came back from playing, so he was not surprised to see Xiao Langjun return to the house.

Zhang Xi swept his gaze over the clothes of the two, but did not say anything.

As soon as he followed the housekeeper through the second gate, Zhang Yijun and Li Shangyin exchanged a rest, and asked the old housekeeper Zhang Xidao: "Grandpa is also back."

After getting Zhang Xi's affirmative answer, Zhang Yijun couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and Xu Yi seemed to have made up his mind, so he said: "It's getting late, so Jun'er is going to rest......"

Zhang Yijun was about to move sideways, but Zhang Xi suddenly stopped him, "Jun'er ......" The old housekeeper looked at Zhang Yijun's expression, but the fine lines on his forehead seemed to be wrinkled deeper, and his mottled jaws moved slightly with the wind, "The old man watched you grow up, do you have any troubles, others or even your grandfather can't see it, but the old man can ......"

Zhang Xiyan, Zhang Yijun's face was light and light, but there was a slight wave in his heart, he was shimsming for a long time, and he stopped talking.

"If you have anything to say, you can say it, there is no outsider, why hold it in your heart?" Zhang Xi comforted, he knew that Xiao Langjun's character had always been that since he was determined about something, it would be difficult for him to change his mind no matter what others said. Zhang Xi looked at Zhang Yijun slightly, Zhang Yijun's clothes were worn in a few places, and his eyes were full of exhaustion, Zhang Xi felt that he couldn't stand by and watch.

"Ah Weng ......" Zhang Yijun's eyes flashed, as if he had finally made up his mind, "Jun'er is actually ......"

Zhang Yijun couldn't help but stop when he said this, just because he saw that his grandfather just walked out of the door of the second moon cave at this moment.

Zhang's father was dressed in a green silk brocade robe, with a cowhide around his waist, which was completely different from the usual outfit of wearing loose clothes in the mansion. When Zhang's father saw his son, he came over to say hello.

"Grandpa," Zhang Yijun crossed his hand and looked at Zhang's father's clothes for a while, "Aren't you going to leave the house?" ”

Zhang's father waved his hand and explained: "I went out to buy my clothes in the morning, and I was going to ride Ziyuncong to the Eastern Capital, but I had no choice but to borrow the foal with Sixteen Lang temporarily, so I bought another horse for my father and used it as a mount." In the afternoon, I went to a few rented houses in the south of the city to collect the rent, and I just came back for a short time, and I didn't have time to change my ......."

"Qilang, you can go and ask someone to take care of the things you bought back today, and then see what is missing in the house......"

Because Zhang Xi is ranked seventh, he is called Qilang, and Zhang's father dares to call him that.

After Zhang Xi raised his hand to sing, he didn't forget to give Zhang Yijun a little look before moving, smiled and said lightly, and said: "Remember to talk ...... if you have something."

Contrary to Zhang Xi's hope, Zhang Yijun was indeed trying to vomit quickly. But when he really saw his father present, there was a faint thought in his heart, which made Fang Cai come to Zhang Yijun's mouth, and he swallowed it back alive at this moment.

Father Zhang looked at Zhang Xi's back to the backyard with some suspicion, and then asked, "What did Qilang Fangcai mean by that?" ”

Maybe...... It's better not to talk about it.

Zhang Yijun thought so, and made a perfunctory haha, Zhang's father seemed to be unimpressed, and then said: "My father will leave tomorrow, and I must leave Chang'an for a few days. Shichiro has been here these days, what can I do to find him......"

For some reason, when he really heard that his father was going to stay away from Chang'an, Zhang Yijun was full of joy in his heart, and he suddenly felt a lot lighter on his shoulders.

Zhang's father lifted his waist and slumped, and seemed to think for a moment, as if he was recalling what else he hadn't explained to his son, and at the end he raised his hand and hooked the four indications: "That's right......"

"Jun'er, come with me......"
