Still hasn't figured out the origin of the jade pendant, and Ning Zhou doesn't know much, so he can only wait for Luo Min, the spy of the Tianlong Division in his mouth, to come to him.

After making sure that no one was following, Xu Xiang returned to Lu Tianyao's home again.

There were still candles lit in the room, and Ying Qiying was lying on the table, drunk and unconscious, while Yang Dianfeng was anxiously waiting in the courtyard.

Seeing Xu Xiang come back intact, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately greeted him.

"What? Xu Yi hasn't come back yet? Looking at the lights in the house, it can be seen that Xu Yi and Mrs. Lu have not come back yet.

"Yes, Xu Yi has been out for so long, and he has always had points in doing things. Even if I don't find Mrs. Lu, I will come back and report back to you. The subordinates guessed that they might have encountered some trouble. Yang Dianfeng also showed a worried look on his face.

Xu Xiang frowned, "I'm afraid something really happened, Lao Yang, you hurry up and look for it, I'll go find someone to help!" ”

"Who is Your Highness going to ask for help?"

"Of course it's my eldest brother! Wake them both up! Xu Xiang smiled at the shadow.

Yang Dianfeng immediately walked over and shook them, the two of them raised their heads drunkenly, looked at him with confused eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, have another drink." ”

"It's been an hour! Still drunk! Xu Xiang directly picked up a basin of cold water and splashed it on the faces of the two.

More than an hour has passed, and the alcohol in the two of them has begun to dissolve, but now they are poured with cold water, and when the cold wind blows, most of the wine immediately wakes up.

Looking at Xu Xiang who was holding the empty basin, the two of them were excited, quickly stood up, and quickly knelt in front of Xu Xiang: "Your Highness, forgive me, I'm waiting for a greedy cup!" ”

"Are you sober?" Xu Xiang asked coldly.

"Wake up, wake up!" The two nodded like chickens pecking rice.

"Take me to see Jiang Fu!"

After all, Jiang Fu is the eldest prince of the East China Sea, and the entire Linzi City is full of eyeliner, so he quickly figured out Xu Yi's whereabouts.

It turned out that in the evening, Xu Yi burglarized, was caught red-handed by the owner, and was sent to the prison of the city patrol division in Nancheng.

Xu Yi was sent by Xu Xiang to find Mrs. Lu, so naturally it was impossible to steal, so something must have happened here.

After knowing the reason, Jiang Yu asked Ying Jiu to take Xu Xiang to the Nancheng City Patrol Division for a trip and let Xu Cheng come out.

The gate is closed, two lanterns are hung on the door, and a pair of stone lions stand on both sides of the yamen.

Shadow Nine came to the door with a lantern and knocked heavily on the door.

"Who? I'll talk about it tomorrow! The guard inside the door was sleepy, with a hint of disgust.

"Open the door!" Shadow Nine slammed the door hard and said loudly.

"Fuck off! Do you know where this is? Knock on the door again and be careful to catch you. ”

The little city patrol Si Ying Jiu was naturally not afraid, and still knocked on the door, the door opened, and a man's head stretched out, and then his whole body walked out of the door.

Looking at the two people in front of him, the guard on duty looked very dissatisfied, and looked at the two people in plain clothes with sharp eyes, and the anger in his heart was even worse.

"You two are here to make trouble, aren't you? Don't look at what this place is! ”

"Is Ma Jinzhao here? Tell him to come out to me! Ying Jiu said and walked directly towards the yamen.

"Eh, eh, eh, who are you?" The guard stopped in front of him, "Master Ma's name is also what you can call directly?" ”

"Do you know this?" Shadow Nine took out a token and shook it in front of his eyes.

"Crown Prince's Mansion......" The guard on duty rubbed his sleepy eyes, showed a look of horror, and hurriedly bent over, bowed down and said, "My lord, please come inside!" ”

"Hurry up and call Ma Jinzhao to come and see me!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll go and tell you right away! The guard flattered him and took the lantern from Shadow Nine and led the way.

Entering the inner hall of the City Patrol Division, the guard on duty immediately lit a candle and led Shadow Nine to the main seat.

But Ying Jiu did not take a seat, but respectfully said to Xu Xiang, "Your Highness, please take a seat." ”

Oh my god! Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the guard, he never thought that the man who had been silent was actually a highness, and he almost turned away a prince.

Xu Xiang sat down unceremoniously, and the guard on duty immediately knelt down, "The villain doesn't know that His Highness is coming, and the crime deserves death!" ”

"You hurry up and call Ma Jinzhao over, don't let His Highness wait for a long time!" Ying Jiu gave him a blank look and commanded.

walked to the side of the main seat again and made tea for Xu Xiang.

The guard got up tremblingly and trotted out of the inner hall.

After a while, in the inner hall of the City Patrol Division, Ma Jinzhao, the chief officer of the City Patrol Division, trotted over, in a hurry, and he didn't even put on his clothes.

Seeing Ying Jiu and the others, he knelt down in panic and said nervously: "I don't know which lord from the Prince's Mansion is coming, and I hope that the lord will forgive him." ”

"Master Ma, don't you know me?" Ying Jiu asked coldly.

Ma Jinzhao looked at Ying Jiu carefully, and immediately recognized it, and hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Lord Ying, then this is ......"

It stands to reason that Ying Jiu, as a member of the Crown Prince's Mansion, can only serve His Royal Highness the Great Prince, but now the person sitting on the throne is not the eldest prince, which makes him very worried, and he came to the City Patrol Division late at night, what happened?

"This is His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Chu State, and your City Patrol Division arrested the person of the Second Highness, so His Royal Highness the eldest prince specially instructed me to let me take a look." Shadow Nine said.

The name of the second prince of Chu is still quite big in Linzi City, but before today's Sanhe Street ring battle, he did not have any prestige.

"It turned out to be this waste prince." Ma Jinzhao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and there was a trace of disdain in his heart, what if you are a prince, your subordinates committed something and were arrested by the people of the City Patrol Division, and they should also be punished.

However, he could only think about this in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it if he was killed.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Second of Chu State, I don't know what the names of His Highness's subordinates are, what did they do?" Ma Jinzhao was no longer as frightened as before, and asked directly.

"Bold!" Ying Jiu shouted loudly, and the change in the tone of Ma Jinzhao's speech was noticed by him, and this tone obviously carried a hint of questioning.

"It doesn't matter." Xu Xiang waved his hand and said to Ma Jinzhao: "Master Ma, you get up first!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Lord Ma, my subordinate's name is Xu Yi, what did he do, the prince doesn't know yet, and I ask Lord Ma to tell him." Xu Xiang said again.

"Xu Yi?" Ma Jinzhao remembered this person, because he was taken into custody tonight, so he had an impression, so he replied: "Your Highness, my City Patrol Division did catch a thief today, named Xu Yi, but His Highness's subordinates should not be thieves, is His Highness mistaken?" ”

Xu Yi burglarized and was caught red-handed. According to the law of our East Sea, the thief shall be punished with ten days' imprisonment, and if the theft is of great value, the punishment shall be increased. The owner of the house reported the theft to be worth more than 10 gold, so he was sentenced to 20 days' imprisonment. ”

"Nonsense! How could His Highness's subordinates steal? Shadow Nine scolded loudly.

"Master Ma, can you take me to meet this person named Xu Yi?" Xu Xiang said unhurriedly, he didn't believe that Xu Cheng would steal, but these things had to be seen by Xu Cheng to figure out.

"Your Highness, please come with me."

Later, Xu Xiang and Ying Jiu followed Ma Jinzhao to the prison of the City Patrol Division.

The prison of the City Patrol Division was a little shabby, with torches burning in the cells, and many of the prisoners in it were already asleep.

"Your Excellency...... How did you get here? When the jailer saw Ma Jinzhao, he hurriedly greeted him.

"What about the person named Xu Yi who was arrested today?" Ma Jinzhao asked.

"My lord, in the cell of the Dizi Shen number, do you want to interrogate him personally? Hey, such a small person, the small one can be dealt with, why bother with the adult you personally interrogating it? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, lead the way!"

Walking to the cell of Dizishen, Xu Xiang saw a person in a white prison uniform lying on the side of the straw mat inside, but the back of his prison uniform was oozing blood, staining some places.

The jailer opened the cell door, walked in first, and kicked the prisoner in the back, "Get up, my lord has come to interrogate you!" ”

With a painful cry, the prisoner was woken up, got up from the straw mat, and turned around slowly, the moment he turned his face, Xu Xiang saw clearly that it was Xu Cheng.

However, at this time, Xu Yi's body was covered with bruises, and his face was also blue and swollen.

The two sides of his eyes were blue and purple, so he couldn't open them completely, so he didn't see Xu Xiang for the first time.

The sound of fists "Gezi", Ma Jinzhao saw that Xu Xiang's face was covered with frost at this time, and the temperature around him dropped suddenly.

"Lord Ma, your City Patrol Division has also executed the prisoners?" Xu Xiang's voice was like a ghost in hell, making the people around him feel a little bad.

"Oops! This person is really a subordinate of the second prince of Chu State! Ma Jinzhao was uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, my City Patrol Division did not torture him, but he was beaten like this before he was caught by the City Patrol Division. ”

Xu is hearing the word "Your Highness", the whole sluggish Xu Cheng seemed to be in spirit, he opened his eyes with great effort, and finally saw the angry Xu Xiang outside the cell.

Xu Yi hurriedly walked to the door of the cell and knelt in front of Xu Xiang, "Your Highness, you are finally here!" ”

Xu Xiang was already on the verge of going berserk at this time, he stepped forward, gently helped Xu Yi up, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you." ”

"Your Highness, I'll go and call Lang Zhong over first." Seeing that the injuries on Xu Yi's body didn't seem to be light, Ying Jiu hurriedly said.

"Hmm!" Xu Xiang nodded, helped Xu Cheng sit down first, then looked at Ma Jinzhao coldly, and asked, "Master Ma, which family is the person who reported the case?" ”

"Your Highness, you ......"

"Your Highness, it's Wang Xiaoyi." Ma Jinzhao hesitated, Xu Yi said.

"Who is this Wang Xiaoyi? Why were you caught and beaten like this? You were also charged with stealing? ”

"It's the day of the tent soup kitchen, the servant of the Suihou Mansion who humiliated Sister-in-law Lu!"

Xu Xiang immediately remembered the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked servant, and immediately understood what was going on, "So, Mrs. Lu was arrested by Wang Xiaoyi?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness! I went to the place where Sister-in-law Lu often set up a stall on Qingzhu Street, and after many inquiries, I learned that she was arrested by Wang Xiaoyi. So, I went to Wang's house to beg for help, but Wang Xiaoyi was unreasonable and told me not to meddle in my affairs. ”

"You didn't report the name of this prince?"

"I said it, I said it was your person, but the people of the Wang family insulted your reputation, and in desperation, I slapped Wang Xiaoyi. The result is ......"

"Excellent! Very good! Xu Xiang smiled coldly, "A little servant is so arrogant." It seems that the Nangong family is dead! ”
