Before Shucheng could react, Kong Xu had already gotten into the carriage, and then shouted to the coachman: "Go to King Liang's Mansion." ”

Shu Cheng followed closely and asked Kong Xu, who had just entered the carriage, "What should I do here, my lord?" ”

Kong Xu lifted the curtain and said to Shucheng: "Go according to the normal process, and store the body in Yizhuang first." ”

Shu Cheng answered and left.

Kong Xu saw that Shucheng had no other problems, so he also urged the coachman to start leaving.

At this time, the front of Xu San's house had already been surrounded by people who came to see the excitement, and if it weren't for the government soldiers at the scene to maintain order, I would have squeezed into the courtyard of Xu San's house to see the death of the people inside.

For the people of Kyoto Prefecture, who are accustomed to calm, the events of these two days are enough to give them plenty of conversation for the rest of the year.

After San Lang ate crispy baked cakes with Qi Lianyu in the courtyard, he was ordered by his young master to come over to see what was going on here. When I first heard that there was a murder here, it should have been half an hour ago, and when I sneaked out of the other courtyard, I thought I couldn't see anything, so I was still thinking about countermeasures on the road, and if this place had been sealed by the government soldiers, what should I do. But to his surprise, when he came again, the place was still surrounded by water, and the people who were watching the excitement seemed to have no sign of wanting to leave, and the government soldiers gave up after several drives to no avail, thinking that as long as it didn't affect their work.

When San Lang arrived here, Kong Xu had already gotten into the carriage and went to the Liang Palace, and San Lang naturally didn't see the carriage that Kong Xu left, otherwise he would have followed him to see what was going on. Saburo asked a few words to the people around him, then turned around and left to go back to the courtyard.

When the carriage came to King Liang's mansion, a doorman came to greet Kong Xu.

"Master Kong is here." The little guy greeted Kong Xu with a smile on his face.

Kong Xu got out of the carriage, and then asked the little guy, "Is the little prince here?" ”

In fact, Kong Xu got the news from Shu Cheng that Chu Ci had taken Lu Qing to Linqing Mansion.

The little guy smiled, and then didn't answer Kong Xu's question directly, but said to him: "The old housekeeper instructed, let the little one take Master Kong directly to the back garden." ”

Kong Xu was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Kant, he actually knows that I want to come over?" ”

The Kant in Kong Xu's mouth is naturally the old housekeeper of the Liang Palace, and the Kang Bo in Chu Ci's mouth.

The little guy smiled, didn't say much, and made a gesture of please.

Kong Xu was not verbose, and directly waved to the little guy and said, "Lead the way." ”

In the back garden of King Liang's mansion, there is a stone path in the stone wall that spreads to the pavilion in the center of the entire garden, and the surrounding area should be full of willow shade and the fragrance of flowers, but now it is the winter moon, and the rest is only bare, occasionally hanging with snow branches.

The little servant took Kong Xu to the pavilion and left.

There is no one else in the current pavilion except Kong Xu, but there is a stove, I don't know when it was put here in advance, so that it is not too cold, and the fire in the stove beats occasionally with the wind, flickering and darkening.

The wind blew through the gazebo, Kong Xu tightened the cotton robe on his body, and complained a little in his heart.

"Kant, Kant, you are definitely taking revenge."

Just when Kong Xu was thinking about it, Comber also arrived at the pavilion.

"Master Kong, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"I haven't seen you for so long, you didn't invite me into the house, but came to this pavilion," Kong Xu reasoned with him as soon as he saw Kang Bo, "You are definitely revenge." ”

Kong Xu still remembers that back then, he and Chu Boxiong, who was still the prince, told Kang Bo that Chu Boyu had something to ask him to wait for him at the gazebo, it was also a winter moon, and it was still snowing in Kyoto Prefecture, so Kang Bo waited at the gazebo for two hours, and the result was that Kang Bo was seriously ill.

Thinking of this, Kong Xu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said slowly: "I remember that we were still children at that time. ”

Comber also sighed: "Yes, I froze to death back then, but fortunately, King Liang didn't see me for too long, and then came to me, or ······."

Speaking of this, Comber laughed out loud, as if he was laughing at his innocence back then.

"It's been twenty-one years since Yuanzhen, and we have all passed half a hundred in a flash, and the princes of that year have all become emperors, and the three princes of that year have also become generals guarding the border, but who would have thought that the ······ of the year"

Before Kong Xu could continue, Comber coughed, as if to remind Kong Xu that there were some things that could not be said.

Kong Xu was still immersed in memories, but suddenly heard a cough from Comber, as if he had been empowered, and instantly came back to his senses.

"Getting back to business," Kong Xu changed the subject, and at the same time told Kang Bo that he had not forgotten the purpose of coming to King Liang's Mansion, "The little prince knows about Nanluo Lane on East Street." ”

Comber shook his head, and then said, "The little prince doesn't know, but Dadu Si knows." ”

Kong Xu thought about what Comber said for a while, and instantly understood what Comber meant, and then blurted out: "Are you saying that this was done by someone outside?" ”

The black language of "outsiders" in the officialdom of Kyoto Prefecture is equivalent to the "hook" and "sleeve" among bandits, except that bandits refer to officers and soldiers, while those in Kyoto Prefecture refer to the forces of the rivers and lakes.

Comber nodded, and then said three words to Kong Xu: "Black Lotus." ”

Kong Xu was stunned when he heard this, he saw Xu San and the two red dots on Xiu'er's neck, but he guessed that it should be done by "someone outside", so he came to Liang Wangfu to try his luck, after all, the chief of the government and the capital of the mansion who is in charge of martial arts is here. It's just that what he didn't expect was that he really found the answer.

"Northwest Poison Sect?" Kong Xu has been mixed in officialdom for a long time, and he also knows a little about the things of the Jianghu forces.

Comber nodded again.

When Kong Xu heard the "Black Lotus" from Comber's mouth, he had an illusion in his heart, that is, whether today's incident was related to the incident in Lane 47, so as an old fox who had been in the officialdom for many years, he smelled a danger signal at this moment.

Kong Xu rolled his eyes, and said to Comber: "Then this should be done by people outside." ”

For Comber, who has known Kong Xu for half his life, he naturally knows what Kong Xu means when he says this, he wants to say that if "people from outside" do it, it will not be under his control, but under the management of the Yasi Prefecture.

Kang Bo naturally couldn't let Kong Xu get his wish, so he said: "The little prince is not in the mansion. ”

Most of the capital of the government is not there, and he is just a housekeeper, and he can't be the master, so it's better to trouble Lord Kong to check it himself.

Kong Xu knew that his thoughts were seen through, so he said again: "Then I'll leave first." ”

Kong Xu thought that he would go to the palace now, and begged the emperor to approve an edict and let the Yasi Mansion take over the case.

"The little prince just went to the palace this morning, the Yasi Mansion came in and was doing its best to investigate the case in Lane 47, but there was no manpower, if there were other cases, please ask the Kyoto Mansion to help you."

Kong Xu's thoughts were seen through again, and there was no way, Kong Xu had no choice but to sigh, and then left the Liang Palace.
