At noon, just after dinner, the little slave was ready to bring lunch to the horses.

Zhao Hanyan came to the living room with a little bit: "Little slave, do you want to bring food to the donkey!" ”

The little slave nodded as he covered the lunch box: "Yes, princess, I did as the princess instructed, and asked the kitchen to make a few of his favorite dishes for the concubine." ”

"I'll go with you!" Zhao Hanyan smiled lightly.

"Ahh The little slave was taken aback.

For the first time in a long time, the princess had taken the initiative to bring food to the ponies.

In the past, she had never asked.

Seeing her surprised look, Zhao Hanyan said indifferently: "What? Is there anything wrong with me bringing food to my husband? ”

"No, princess." The little slave didn't know what to say, and shook his head hurriedly.

Zhao Hanyan walked over and lifted the lunch box: "Let's go, go and prepare the car." ”

After a while, the master and servant got into the carriage and left the Horse Mansion.

When the carriage passed by the street, Zhao Hanyan saw some officials from the government holding a portrait on the street and comparing them to pedestrians.

The head catcher who led the team saw Zhao Hanyan's carriage, and hurriedly asked the official to give way, and then bowed down and stood aside.

The common people did not know the concubine and the princess, but these magistrates knew each other.

Zhao Hanyan stopped the coachman, lifted the curtain and asked the head catcher who led the team, "Yang catcher, what happened?" ”

The head catcher named Yang Lin replied respectfully: "Princess Hui, there was a fire in the Shili Temple outside the city last night, and the government received a notice in the middle of the night to rush to put it out, but the fire was too big to be saved and was burned to ashes. This morning, the government received a portrait and a message, the news said that the fire in the Shili Temple last night was deliberately committed by the gangsters, and at this moment the gangsters have infiltrated Pingzhou City, the matter is very important, and the prefect will order us to investigate the whole city thoroughly, please see your Royal Highness the princess, this is the person. ”

As he spoke, Yang Lin handed the portrait in his hand to Zhao Hanyan.

Zhao Hanyan glanced at it and asked again, "Why did this villain burn the Shili Temple?" And why did you sneak into Pingzhou City? ”

"This..."Yang Lin hesitated for a moment.

Zhao Hanyan frowned: "Say." ”

Yang Lin didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Back to the princess, the news says that this person burned the Shili Temple in order to lure away the government officials, and then took advantage of the chaos to sneak into Pingzhou City, the purpose is... In order to... Assassinate the colt. ”

"What?" Zhao Hanyan was taken aback.

Yang Lin broke out in a cold sweat: "It is precisely because of this, regardless of whether the news is true or not, the prefect ordered us to conduct a thorough investigation in the whole city, but before the result, he did not dare to inform the princess." ”

In the face of the princess's inquiry, how dare Yang Lin hide a little head catcher, even if the prefect is here, he doesn't dare to hide it!

"How did the news come about?" Zhao Hanyan's face was solemn.

Yang Lin shook his head: "My subordinates don't know, but early this morning, this news and portrait appeared on the desk of the government office." ”

Zhao Hanyan nodded and waved his hand: "You go and get busy first, no matter whether the news is true or not, you must catch this villain." ”

"Yes." Yang Lin nodded heavily.

Zhao Hanyan closed the curtain of the car and told the driver to get off.

The carriage continued to drive, and inside the car, Zhao Hanyan pondered.

The little slave on the side looked nervous, and his little hand tightly grasped the lunch box in his hand: "Princess, who wants to assassinate the horse?" Why assassinate the colt? ”

Zhao Hanyan shook his head: "I don't know, I went to the academy today, and I brought the horse back first, and let him not go to the academy to teach for the time being." ”

"Hmm!" The little slave's nervous little hands didn't stop for a moment, as if this villain had come to assassinate her.

Zhao Hanyan continued to ponder, but in his heart, was he thinking, is his father's worry coming? Even if she and the horse came to Pingzhou, they would not be at peace? General Zhang has already received his death and pleaded guilty to the whole world, and these people still refuse to let go of his only son?

……

At the same time, Pingzhou's famous Qinglou Ningxiang Curie.

In Qin Elegy's boudoir, a man in black was talking to her: "The people from the government have already been dispatched, and I believe there will be news soon." ”

Qin Elegy said, "Senior brother, is it really feasible for you to do this?" ”

Yuan Shen on the opposite side said calmly: "You and I can't expose our identities, I'm in the dark, you're in the light, our people can't act too openly in Pingzhou, Shi Guangshun was seriously injured last night and ran away, he will definitely hide in Pingzhou City to find a place to heal, it's inconvenient for us to find him, let the government come forward to find it, it must be much faster." ”

"Then you can't say that he came to assassinate Xiao Engong! If Zhao Hanyan knows about this, it will be even more difficult for us to see Xiao Engong in the future. Qin Elegy was a little deflated.

Yuan Shen glanced at her: "I want to see him, the people of the Horse Mansion can't find out, if you don't use this reason, how can the government pay attention to it?" Zhang Mingheng is the emperor's concubine and arranged to come to Pingzhou, if Zhang Mingheng really has an accident in Pingzhou, the head of the Pingzhou prefect will not be able to hang up. ”

"Okay!"

Qin Elegy reluctantly accepted his words, and said with his eyebrows: "This Shi Guangshun must not live, he already knows that we came to Pingzhou to find Xiao Engong, if we bring our news back to the people behind him, then Xiao Engong will be in danger." ”

"Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, doing it ruthlessly enough, just don't want our Snow God Sect to contact Zhang Mingheng, for fear that he will find out the truth about the fall of Liangzhou." Yuan Shen's indifferent tone was emotionless: "Don't worry, as soon as the government finds Shi Guangshun, I will kill him in advance." ”

"I hope so!" Qin Elegy said softly: "There are only a few people in the capital who can master this matter. ”

"General Zhang was favored by the emperor in the court during his lifetime, and his prestige in the army was monstrous, and the Northern Foothills Army under his command guarded the north for 17 years, and was the strongest army in Southern Chu.

Qin Elegy analyzed: "Master said that it was Taishi Chen who recommended General Zhang to guard the north and expel Northern Liao, and now Taishi Chen has long since stopped asking about political affairs, so he has no reason to persecute General Zhang." Liu Xiang is elegant, extremely pitiful to the common people in the world, and is supported by the people, and he must not exchange the lives of a Liangzhou and hundreds of thousands of people for bringing down General Zhang, and he knows very well that except for General Zhang, no one in Southern Chu can resist the Northern Liao Iron Cavalry, so Liu Xiang cannot be the mastermind behind the scenes. ”

"But apart from these two, I can't think of anyone else who has the ability to plan this." Yuan Shen shook his head: "Master also said that the privy envoy Wenbo bullied the soft and feared the hard, and he could only fight the soft bones of Xijin who had been beaten by the Northern Liao, and when he encountered the armies of the Northern Liao and Dongyan, he did not dare to face the enemy head-on, he knew that as soon as General Zhang died, the emperor would definitely send him to resist the Northern Liao, so he couldn't." Yu Shitai doctor Ren Chao is an idealistic, responsible person, in the court never fight for power, he is impossible, outside the independent institutions of the Supervision Yuan, directly obey the emperor's orders, the supervision makes Wei Heng's power comparable to the six Shangshu, in the court has never had a disagreement with General Zhang, he has no reason. As for the six Shangshu, each has its own jurisdiction, which should not be possible. ”

Qin Elegy said: "Then these powerful people have no reason to persecute General Zhang in the court, so who else can there be?" Even the master didn't know. ”

"If Master knew, he wouldn't have sent us to Pingzhou." Yuan Shen shook his head: "Our Snow God Sect is now a big problem for the imperial court, in the eyes of the world, it is no different from the Demon Sect, and it is not easy to intervene in this matter, so it can only be handed over to Zhang Mingheng and let him figure it out by himself, whether it is for the sake of his father General Zhang or the lives of the hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou, he has no reason to stay out of the matter, and only he will wholeheartedly investigate this matter." ”

"But Xiao Engong's current situation, no power, no one is available, he is trapped in Pingzhou, and there is a Zhao Hanyan by his side, how can he do it? Once he has any action, there will be people who want to get rid of it quickly, and Shi Guangshun and the four ghosts of Hedong who followed us to Pingzhou this time are examples. Qin Elegy shook his head helplessly.

Yuan Shen said: "So, we can't get too close to him now, so as not to affect him, we can't help him except secretly protect him now, it's up to him, don't worry, Master said, as long as Zhang Mingheng doesn't die, there will always be hope for this matter, General Zhang and hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou will not die in vain, since someone has done such a thing, they have to pay the price, and there is still reason to talk about in this world." ”

"Okay, I can't stay with you for too long, so as not to be discovered, if it's okay next, I should rarely come to you, don't worry, I will secretly protect Zhang Mingheng. I'm leaving, if I kill Shi Guangshun, I'll tell you as soon as possible, so you can rest assured..."
