On the way back to the palace, Xiao Rui didn't analyze the conspiracy between Xiao Xue and Du An, maybe he was too worried and always thought of others in a bad way, maybe the couple was making a farce.

It was late when he returned to the palace, so Xiao Rui did not disturb His Majesty, but returned to the East Palace to rest.

At noon the next day, Zhang Liang, who went to Hangzhou Mansion, sent a message with a falcon that Tang Wang Xiao Yan's high fever symptoms did not subside, accompanied by chills, fatigue and other symptoms, which was very consistent with the condition of having acne, and Xiao Yan's condition seemed to be more serious.

After Zhang Liang explained his identity to Princess Tang, he had already quarantined the Assassin Mansion, and Kong Xun'er, who was pregnant, did not show symptoms, but she also had to be isolated.

At the same time, the Hangzhou Mansion has blocked the city gate, and King Jing Xiao Lie will go slowly, this time should also come, and he will preside over the overall situation at that time.

After reading the letter, Xiao Rui felt tricky.

Originally, it was speculated that this was a conspiracy, after all, the system asked him to save Xiao Rui and Xiao Lie, if the two of them had acne, how could they save them? But the letter from Zhang Liang made him worried, could it be that he had inferred wrong, Xiao Yan was really infected with acne? Isn't this a conspiracy?

Xiao Rui reported this matter to Emperor Xia, compared to Xiao Rui's worries, Emperor Xia looked at it openly, and said: "Life and death have life and wealth, and no one is innocent under the plague." ”

"Hey..."Xiao Rui sighed.

At this moment, Emperor Xia suddenly asked, "Do you still want to go to Hangzhou Mansion?" ”

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Father and emperor agree to go to the son?" ”

Emperor Xia nodded and said with a smile: "You can go to Weifu for a private visit, and you can't let others know!" ”

Xiao Rui was a little dumbfounded, he scolded himself loudly yesterday for messing around, immediately sent Xiao Lie over, and ordered martial law at the palace gate to prohibit him from letting him out.

Your Majesty, are you kidding your son?

Wait a minute!

Xiao Rui immediately reacted and asked, "Did my father do it on purpose and make a show for others to see?" ”

At this time, only Hai Dafu and Yan Xiaoxiao were in the Palace of Raising the Heart, and the other eunuchs were not there, so Emperor Xia did not continue to conceal it, nodded, and said: "I also feel that there is something strange about the outbreak of acne in Hangzhou Mansion, and yesterday I ordered Dongchang to contact the secret agents there and found some cats. The people you sent found that Tang Wang's symptoms were very similar to those of acne, but although the people who were quarantined also had symptoms, they were somewhat different from Xiao Pox, and they had never been to Shenzhou, nor had they come into contact with people who had been to Shenzhou. This strengthened my suspicions. I was worried that someone was playing a trick, so I forbade you to go, and instead sent the King of Jin to go. ”

After a pause, Emperor Xia continued: "Recently, the Zhao State and the Qi army have been repeatedly defeated on the battlefield, and they continue to use intrigues and tricks in anger, so I suspect that the Tang King is sick and deliberately lured you to Hangzhou Mansion. ”

"If it's really a trick, the other party must think that Erchen will go?" Xiao Rui asked.

Xia Huang smiled: "How do you know if you won't go if you don't try?" Even if you don't go, the other party will inevitably have a follow-up conspiracy! Therefore, I agreed to let you go, that is, let you pull out the enemy, the open gun is easy to dodge and the hidden arrow is difficult to defend, and the enemy in the dark is unable to guard against it. In addition, bring the Qinglian Swordsman with you. ”

"Erchen understands!" Xiao Rui immediately responded.

Subsequently, Xiao Rui quietly left the palace, and did not even return to the East Palace, so he went to Zhan Shifu, and after telling Jia Xu and Guo Jia about the situation, Xiao Rui immediately took Qinglian Swordsman, Li Yuanfang, Wu Zhanfa, Wei Guang and twenty iron dragoons to leave Kyoto and rush towards Hangzhou Mansion.

The group went straight to Hangzhou Mansion and arrived outside Hangzhou at noon the next day.

At this time, in the city of Hangzhou, the streets of the former bustling city were empty.

Since the discovery of the pox, the people in the city have fallen into panic, and they have stayed at home and dare not go out, and the guards have also blocked the four gates, prohibiting them from entering and leaving. All the people with signs were quarantined, the average incubation period of acne was 12 days, and the typical smallpox rash did not appear in the early stage of infection.

At this time, in the Assassin's Mansion, Zhang Liang stayed in the room and waited.

After he arrived at Hangzhou Mansion the day before yesterday, he immediately came to the Assassin's Mansion to see Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's condition is indeed very similar to acne, high fever, fatigue, headache, chills, and more importantly, the premise of acne will have a pale red lump area accompanied by a rash, this feature made Zhang Liang realize that it was likely to be a pox, so he was afraid that Xiao Rui would be anxious, and immediately passed the letter through the falcon first.

And yesterday, he investigated other patients in the city, and found that although these patients also had high fever and cold wars, there were no pale red lumps on their bodies! This immediately aroused his vigilance, and then continued the investigation, and found that these patients had not been to Shenzhou, or had contact with Shenzhou personnel, and they did not know each other, so they did not meet the conditions for transmission at all.

After more in-depth inquiry, it was learned that Tang Wang was in a hurry to write "Journey to the West" at home during this time, and it was unlikely that he was infected with acne!

Zhang Liang sensed the conspiracy, so he hurriedly sent away the musk falcon yesterday, intending to tell Xiao Rui not to let him worry too much. However, at that time, Xiao Rui had already left Kyoto and rushed here, and did not receive his letter.

Now that he was aware of the conspiracy, Zhang Liang quickly began to investigate since yesterday.

If Tang Wang hadn't had acne, then this situation would not be a disease now, and it was likely that he had been poisoned! Deliberately created signs of acne outbreaks!

Then, if you want to poison King Tang, you must be someone who can contact His Royal Highness King Tang, then you have to investigate all those who can contact King Tang!

This time Zhang Liang came in a hurry, only with Dian Wei and Yang Youji, these two people are strong in martial arts, but they are not good at strategy, they can't do such a meticulous job of investigation, even if Zhang Liang has great power, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice with the strength of one person!

In desperation, he asked for help from Kong Xun'er, the princess of Tang.

Since Kong Xun'er knew that her husband might have acne, she didn't think about tea and dinner, and her pregnant body gradually weakened. Zhang Liang's speculation instantly revived her hope and fully cooperated with Zhang Liang's investigation!

But she didn't dare to believe the other people in the house, so she only asked the five Kong family members who came with her to marry to cooperate with Zhang Liang and investigate secretly to avoid startling the snake.

With the cooperation of the personnel, Zhang Liang asked them to check the list of people who could directly contact Tang Wang and be responsible for Tang Wang's meal, and Zhang Liang stayed in the room at this time, waiting.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Liang immediately opened the door, and there was a servant of the Kong family standing outside the door, who entered the house, handed over the list to Zhang Liang, and introduced the information of the list.

If Xiao Yan was really poisoned, it must have been the day before he was infected, and only he was infected, so he discharged a normal meal, because he was dining with the princess, and if the food was poisonous, the princess would also be infected.

Therefore, it is only necessary to investigate who was in charge of the refreshments the day before he became ill, and who he met, to further narrow down the suspicion.

At this time, there are four suspects on the list.

One is the personal servant of Tang King Xiao Yan, he is in charge of refreshments, this person has followed Xiao Yan for many years, and he is very trusted by Xiao Yan.

The second is Chen Qi, the new governor of Hangzhou, who has not been in office for a long time.

Originally, the Hangzhou Assassin's Mansion was in Jinhua Mansion, but after Xiao Yan was appointed as the Assassin's Mansion, he begged His Majesty to agree and let him move the Assassin's Mansion to Hangzhou Mansion, on the grounds that it was closer to Kyoto and could be closer to His Majesty.

His Majesty was impressed by this reason of filial piety, so he granted his request. As for his real reason, it is estimated that only he knows it.

So Xiao Yan took charge of Hangzhou Mansion, which was difficult to accommodate the newly appointed Hangzhou prefect. Suddenly, a thorn was parachuted, and he was also a prince, so he would come to the mansion to report if he had anything to do.

The third is Zhou Yun, the commander of the Hangzhou Metropolitan Command Department who has not been in office for a long time.

The previous commander, Zhang Hao, was transferred back to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army in Kyoto by Xiao Rui, and Zhou Yun, who was the deputy commander, was directly promoted and sat in the right position.

However, Zhou Yun's command envoy is still in Jinhua Mansion, and this time he happened to come to Hangzhou Mansion to meet His Royal Highness King Tang!

The last one is the official of the Assassin's Mansion Don't Drive Zhang Xin.

Is Xiao Yan's temperament a person who does thorn history? Just writing is enough for him to be busy, so many things are handed over to the team under the Assassin Mansion to do, and this don't drive Zhang Xin naturally has to visit Xiao Yan often!

Except for the little guy who was close to him, the other three people had seen Xiao Yan alone the day before he was sick, and chatted for a while, if the three of them wanted to be poisoned, they all had a chance!

At this time, looking at the three people on the list, they can be regarded as high-ranking and powerful figures in Hangzhou, if one of them, or several people united, they were poisoned, then this conspiracy is even more difficult!

It's just that this puts Zhang Liang in a predicament.

He can interrogate that little guy, but Hangzhou Governor Chen Qi, Commander Zhou Yun, and Don't Drive Zhang Xin, these three people can't investigate!

At this time, none of these three people left Hangzhou Mansion, after all, Hangzhou Mansion had a pox condition, they were all local parents, and they definitely couldn't escape, after all, the fate of Shenzhou Assassin and the prefect is a clear example. These three people should now be accompanying Xiao Lie, the king of Jin, to deal with the condition in the city, which makes Zhang Liang even more difficult to start.

"How can this be?" Zhang Liang tapped on the table, revealing a contemplative expression.

……

Xiao Rui and the others stopped outside Hangzhou and did not take the initiative to enter the city. Now that the city gate has been sealed, now entering the city is to tell everyone that the prince is coming!

At night, the group climbed over the wall and entered the city of Hangzhou.

At this time, the dark streets were silent, but fortunately, Xiao Rui had been to Hangzhou City before, knew the general route, and immediately went to Jinfu.

Kim Jong-hyun was asleep when he was awakened by the rapid knock on the door of his subordinates, and when he woke up, he realized that His Highness had come down!

So he hurriedly put on his coat and ran out, and personally welcomed Xiao Rui into the house.

Xiao Rui chatted with him for a few words, and then rested first.

In the early morning, Li Yuanfang explored the Shifu at night, saw Zhang Liang, and heard that His Highness had come down, Zhang Liang was a little surprised, he thought that before his condition was clear, His Majesty would definitely not allow His Highness to come here.

Unless Your Majesty is also aware of the conspiracy here!
