In the Akiyama Pavilion, a few guards who were searching for clues saluted and respectfully withdrew.

"The thieves did not leave any suspicious traces at the scene of the crime, and there is no way to investigate this case of theft."

Young Fu Zhao Qi, leaning against the window, couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"The guards of the East Palace have always been strict, in addition to the guards of the East Palace leading shifts, there are also spies everywhere, and outsiders have no chance to enter at all!" Li Zhi's brows furrowed tightly, and he said thoughtfully.

"So Taifu suspects that it was someone from the East Palace who did it?" Zhao Qi frowned, and couldn't help but look at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi nodded, his face becoming more and more heavy.

"The people of the East Palace?"

The more Zhao Qi thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was a little incredible, could it be that this matter was done by King Chang again? But King Chang is now in prison, and he is already in a catastrophe, and he has no ability to attack the East Palace, not to mention, at this time, it is too late for him to protect himself, how can he get involved in the East Palace?

He pinched his chin and analyzed it carefully, and said unconvincedly: "However, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince swept away the details of King Chang's placement in the East Palace, along with those who were not firm enough, the people left in the East Palace are basically absolutely loyal people, and there should not be another Nangong Ji." ”

Seeing that Li Zhi was silent and looked pensive, Zhao Qi was even more confused.

"I think the biggest problem now is what the prince left on the third bag, if the hint given by the prince is too obvious, once our original plan is exposed, then the East Palace will be in jeopardy at this time!" He thought about it carefully, his gaze slowly turned to Li Zhi, and asked softly: "Taifu, have you already seen this third trick in advance?" ”

Seeing him so calm, it always makes people feel as if he already knows something.

"When to open what tricks, the prince has already instructed. How could I disobey the prince's will? Li Zhi immediately explained.

In fact, after reading the second bag, the third bag, without opening it, he can also understand what the prince means.

The existence of the third bag does not have much meaning in itself, it is just a symbol of giving orders.

"For the sake of insurance, after the second bag was opened, I did the first and second tips in a timely manner, and no matter who stole the third bag, he couldn't guess what our specific plan was. At the moment, the situation in the East Palace is quite optimistic. ”

Li Zhi analyzed.

Judging from the first and second tips, the things left by the prince are extremely obscure, if the third bag is the key to the three tips, according to the prince's temperament, the content on it will only be more obscure.

Even if the third bag is stolen, it will be difficult to decipher the meaning.

At this time, a guard came in from outside the cabinet.

"Master Taifu, Master Young Fu, Zou Bing, Zou Wei and Zhang Tong and Zhang Tingwei have arrived!"

"Let the two of them in!"

In the Autumn Mountain Pavilion, the two of them saluted without hurrying.

"The new East Palace Guard rate, Zou Bing. Tingwei, Zhang Tong. I've seen Master Taifu, Master Young Fu. ”

"No need to be polite." Seeing the two, Li Zhi immediately asked, "How is the matter investigated?" ”

Zou Bing and Zhang Tong glanced at each other and replied one by one.

"Taifu, Xia Guan mobilized all the guards and spies of the East Palace, and in the few hours before and after the theft of the bag, they did not find any suspicious people or suspicious things."

"Lord Taifu, since King Chang was imprisoned in Tianzihao, everyone who is close to King Chang has been excluded, and King Chang has no suspicious contact with the outside world for the time being."

"Then there's a ghost." Zhao Qi suddenly sighed lightly, and wondered: "King Chang's party is the smallest, it can be temporarily ruled out, and the East Palace is as calm as ever, is it possible that this trick will grow wings on its own and fly away by itself?" ”

The atmosphere suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Seeing that the two adults were silent, Zou Bing suddenly thought and said, "If you really want to say that a suspicious person comes out, I'm afraid that he is the only one in the East Palace at present." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhi and Zhang Tong couldn't help but glance at Zou Bing, and the eyes of the three suddenly became the same.

Seeing this, Zhao Qi became even more puzzled, looked at them, and asked, "He?" Who is he? ”

"The entourage of the prince, Shi Jiao." Zou Bing replied.

"You're talking about the enemy?" Zhao Qi gradually understood.

Zhang Daodao: "I think the same as Zou Weishuo. The origin of this enemy is unknown, and it is suspicious to stay with the prince. Now that the prince has suffered, the enemy's mind is unfathomable. ”

Zhang Tingwei said very much. But what Xia Guan didn't understand was what this enemy, what his purpose would be for stealing the tips. Zou Bing looked at the others.

Zhao Qi nodded, and suddenly said, "So, I remembered something." On that day, after the prince dismantled the second bag left by the prince, he held a meeting in the East Palace to celebrate the coup d'état. You say, will Shi Jian be unwilling because of this incident, so he stole the bag. ”

"This enemy's mind is not so simple, I think, it should not be just because of unwillingness." Zhang Tong said firmly.

In the hearts of Zou Bing, Zhang Tong and Zhao Qi, there were more and more suspicions about Shi Jian, however, Li Zhi did not speak for a long time.

Zhao Qi looked at Li Zhi many times, but finally couldn't bear it, so he said: "Directly arrest the enemy Shi Jiao!" Caught someone earlier in case he ran away! ”

"Don't worry, Lord Young Master, right now the East Palace has been sealed by my people, and as for this enemy, I have sent someone to spy on him in advance." Zou Bing said confidently.

"Zou Wei is doing a good job!" Zhao Qi couldn't help but praise. looked at Li Zhi again, and said anxiously: "Taifu, haven't you always believed in Shi Jian before?" Now is the right time to arrest people to probe the truth, so as not to bother to be vigilant from time to time in the future. ”

Seeing Li Zhi's calm face, still silent, and difficult to decide, Zhao Qi completely lost his temper, paced, and began to dangle back and forth in front of Li Zhi anxiously.

At this time, Zhang Tong suddenly said: "The matter of the bag is the secret of the East Palace, if this matter is made big, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the monarch, presumably, Lord Taifu is also worried about this." We might as well lock people up first, just shut them up, and don't ask questions. Even if Shi Jian is really a thief, we are not afraid that he will affect our plans. ”

"Just ask?" Zhao Qi stopped and thought about it, and nodded. turned to ask Li Zhi: "What about Taifu's opinion?" ”

"That's the only way to do it." Everyone looked at each other, Li Zhi, and finally made a decision.

East Warm Pavilion.

Under one lens, the three maps are getting bigger and bigger.

One is a map drawn by the prince himself, one is a fake map drawn by King Chang with the help of his teacher, and the other is a ......

A small piece, to be exact.

It was a small piece that he had painstakingly found from the piles of debris mixed in the embers.

Both fortunate and regretful.

Fortunately, as he speculated, King Chang really left a backup, but unfortunately, this real topographic map of the palace was burned to the southwest corner, and the rest turned to ashes.

Shi Jian drooped his head, picked up the small piece of drawing carelessly, and stared at him for a long time.

"Southwest corner, where is this?" He asked to himself.

He always felt that the place was somewhat familiar, but he was not sure where it was, because there were too many lines on it, and because of the brokenness, it had no head or tail, and it looked a little messy.

Compare the other two drawings.

"The picture depicted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is relatively abstract and general on the whole, but if you look closely, it seems to have some similarities with this small piece......"

The incomplete piece can just match the prince's drawings.

"As for this fake drawing." His eyes froze, his brows furrowed tightly, and he wondered: "This fake drawing ......?"

Comparing the picture of the prince with the fake picture of King Chang, it can be clearly found that except for the great difference between the east and west prisons, the rest is basically the same.

The only strange thing is that there seems to be something missing in the southwest corner of the fake map.

"But what did you find?"

"Hey, if the drawing drawn by His Highness is true, then the prison that His Highness is looking for may be traced back to more than a hundred years ago."

"What do you mean by that?"

"This can be regarded as the most strange thing in Qin Huai since ancient times! On the bank of the Qinhuai River, that is, near the current city wall, there is a dungeon that has been abandoned for more than 100 years, which was built by the royal family, just because there have been many murders there, and the people of Qinhuai are all haunted there. There are even rumors that everyone who goes there has to die! ”

Shi Jian stared at the place where he had mentioned to the prince for a long time, and was a little distracted.

"In order to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enter the prison by mistake, King Chang confused the routes and landmarks of the east and west prisons on the fake map, but why did he omit this old dungeon? A person who is so strict with his teacher, even if he falsifies the map, will not be a centimeter off. If King Chang only asked for a fake seven-point image of the map, he made some omissions, but compared with other places, there seems to be no obvious loss or omission in other places. ”

Shi Jian always felt that this fake map seemed to be deliberately hiding something.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a group of guards rushed in.

"Zou Wei rate?" Shi Jian suddenly stood up, looked at those people, and asked, "Zou Weishu, what's wrong?" ”

"Lord Shi! Offended! Zou Bing stared at Shi Jian with cold eyes, and hugged his fist at him to apologize. Take! ”

"What are you doing! What are you doing here? ”

The guards rushed forward and quickly restrained him, and in the midst of questioning, he looked back frequently, his eyes full of worry and unease as he looked at the maps again and again.

The breeze blew unintentionally, and a small piece of stump suddenly fell to the ground.

Wind and dust mansion, inner sanctum.

"Childe, you're in good shape." Yingying carefully lifted Mo Cang Wuchen up from the couch, and while taking the small white bottle that had been prepared from the case, she said worriedly: "These days, your eyes are about to cry, and your sleep is not good, the slave begs the son not to shed tears anymore." ”

"Come, Childe, look up and keep your eyes open." As he spoke, he raised the little white bottle, looked at the dustless eyes, and reminded: "There may be some slight stinging, Childe, bear with me." ”

In an instant, two drops of clear water fell into his pupils, creating a circle of colorful ripples.

As soon as his eyes closed and opened, the endless darkness swept towards him inch by inch.

His eyes were like knives, and he was forced to let out a heart-rending shout!

"Yingying—you!"
