Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 38 The Shoes

This sudden change in Guangxing Tower is really dramatic, as if more than ten years ago, the Dongyue soldiers who were originally guarding outside Yangzhou have almost suppressed the victory of the Jingguo Eastern Expeditionary Army, but they were inexplicably captured and the city was captured.

His Royal Highness Xianwang, who originally came to Yangzhou to assist Zhou Wenbin in investigating the case, suddenly became the mastermind of this case, so according to most people's thoughts, no, it should be everyone's thoughts are the same.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already has the handle of the Offering the King, and he will definitely write an excerpt and send it to the capital immediately, and impeach the Marquis of Chai fiercely.

As long as he can bring down the king this time, then the prince will be able to say that he has touched the armrest of the dragon chair.

On the way to be escorted to Yangzhou Mansion, Xi Yuanxiu was silently thinking about what had just happened, and Li Yuanhuan suddenly interrupted him: "This time, because of the matter between the imperial brother and me, I am really sorry that my brother has been affected!" ”

Liu Xiao listened to what His Royal Highness the King said, turned back cautiously, looked at the prince and Xue Luping who were walking at the back, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xiu, the prince said that he would give you an innocence, so can my innocence be counted as yours!" ”

King Xian couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "That's natural, you are close to your brother, and the imperial brother will naturally not count this reckless crime on your head, but please also ask your brother to take Bian Ying out with him, for the sake of Old Man Bian's face, the imperial brother will not embarrass him!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu nodded silently, but he still got goosebumps because of that intimacy.

The hawkers shouting on the side of the street and the pedestrians wandering around all noticed the four people who were being escorted now, and they all thought of whether the mastermind of the illegal salt case had been caught, and they all felt some pity in their hearts.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not very satisfied with the gaze that had been watched along the way, and he waved his hand at the back of the escort procession, and then his entourage made the group of people speed up their pace, but after a while, they arrived at the Yangzhou Mansion.

And that day, when Ma Anbang and others arrested Zhao Benliu, the man in Tsing Yi who threw out the teapot lid from the teahouse was in the noisy crowd at this time, like that day, silently watching all this.

......

......

Zhou Wenbin was staring at the young man from Guangxinglou in the house, the young man of Chichao saw that his shopkeeper had been taken away, and he didn't understand what the origami in his hand was for, whether it was sent to Scoop City or disassembled.

When he hesitated, he decided to come to this Lord Zhou first, after all, this Lord Zhou seemed to be a good person in his eyes.

Although he was afraid that Zhou Wenbin would think too much about his identity, he couldn't care about it for his seven taels of silver a month, and of course the shopkeeper.

"Lord Zhou, the little delay will give you some time, you can recognize this thing!"

The young man took Liu Xiao into the bowl from his arms, and quietly handed him the origami and took it out.

Although Zhou Wenbin was a little upset, he still suppressed his temper and reached out to take it.

He looked at it casually, and was about to return it to the fellow, when he suddenly let out an "um" and took it in front of him carefully.

He suddenly remembered that the last time he went to the Yamen of Huangcheng, in the second hall, he had also seen the same origami as this one, and it was exactly the same, as if it was the same.

Zhou Wenbin held the origami in his hand and hurriedly asked, "Where did you get your things?" ”

Seeing that he didn't ask about his identity, the guy followed Zhou Wenbin's words and continued: "My lord, the little one I saw in the private room just now, the seat of the big man, and the little one thought it was the adult, so he came to your room and waited first!" ”

Zhou Wenbin was silent, with his hands behind his back, and kept rubbing the origami in his hands, and suddenly found that the origami was rubbed open by himself, and he couldn't help but scold himself in his heart that he had broken the clue left here.

But when he took it in his hand and looked at it, he found that there were still words in the origami, he opened it and took a look, only to see that it was the six words on it, "Take Jia into the city immediately!" ”

Zhou Wenbin thought for a moment, directly stuffed the piece of paper into his waist, and asked the guy to prepare a horse for him, and then he simply changed his clothes and hurriedly went downstairs.

......

......

The gilded majestic dart flag, blown by the wind, floated in the sky above the courtyard of the mighty dart bureau on a straight, vermilion lacquered wooden pole.

On Guangling Road that day, Wang Shichang, who had a beard and two jade beads in his hand, was sitting on the Taishi chair in the main hall of the mighty dart bureau at this time, looking at Erlang's legs and looking at Aqu, who had just come back from outside.

"In charge, I just saw that Xianwang and that Xi Yuanxiu, a total of four people, were pressed by the people of the government from Guangxing Building to Yangzhou Mansion, and the reason is not very clear! But it's a good thing for us, they are already short of manpower, and now there are not a few people left! ”

Wang Shichang kept rubbing the jade beads in his hand, and said expressionlessly: "Xi Yuanxiu, this is a little interesting, doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appreciate this former Shaoqing the most, why did he even arrest him?" ”

At that time, Xi Yuanxiu, who was a young man, had also fought with Wang Shichang, and he was in the mansion of the Marquis of Anding, because he felt that Wang Shichang was too murderous and was not a hero.

However, Wang Shichang, who killed all the way from Yangzhou to Chang'an, was at the top of his momentum, but in four moves, he cut Xi Yuanxiu with a sword and flew out, but Xi Yuanxiu was too young back then, so since then, he has been the leader among the young nobles in Chang'an.

And the prince also admired Xi Yuanxiu very much because of this matter, so he gave three points to Xi Yuanxiu, which is also related to this.

Ah Qu wiped the sweat on his head with a towel, and said with a little question: "Master, why don't you look a little happy, the fewer people in the court, the better, why are you like this?" ”

Wang Shichang slowly put down the crossed leg, and the beads under his hand were also slapped directly on the table, and if you look closely, you will find that the two beads were quietly slapped into half of them.

"I went to see Xiao Liuzi last night, I don't have a good place on my body, it's good to be able to save this life, you hurry up and arrange a few more doctors in that medical center, you must connect his leg to me!"

Wang Shichang held back his anger and said in a suppressed voice.

"Six... The master has been sent to Guangxing Building by the prince to settle down, so I will arrange for someone to go to Guangxing Building to watch it now! ”

"Well, don't be too obsessive!"

......

......

The prince and others stood in front of the prison gate in the Yangzhou Mansion, and the prince looked at the dim and narrow cell, and there was a little musty smell because of the recent autumn rain, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Governor Xue, don't you know how to clean this Yangzhou prison, it's so dirty and messy, aren't you afraid that the prisoners in the prison will have a plague?"

The prince asked a little unhappily.

"Your Highness is taught!" Xue Luping glanced at the four people with shackles again, and continued: "Yangzhou has always been peaceful, and even that little thief is rarely seen, so except for the one you are taking to Guangxing Building now, there is not a single prisoner in this prison!" ”

The prince turned his back to Xue Luping and said: "Then put all the straw used to pave the floor in this prison in the fourth child's room, so as not to say that I, the elder brother, deliberately embarrassed him, just fill two sets of quilts in the room between my brother and his master!" ”

The rotten straw was placed in a cell, and as you can imagine, not only did it smell terrible, but it was also very uncomfortable to feel like a rash on the body.

This prince really didn't embarrass him, the imperial brother!

King Xian stroked his cuffs that were caught in the shackles on his hands, and replied with a smile: "Thank you Brother Huang, then the king is better to be respectful than to obey his fate!" ”

After that, he walked directly into the black and oppressive prison, found a random cell, and sat directly on the ground.

Bian Ying glanced at the horizontal knife that was taken away by the officials on the side, and then also walked into Li Yuanhuan's cell.

Xi Yuanxiu pursed his lips and said, "Then let's choose the one opposite them, so as not to be bored, what do you say, master, well, what are you doing?" ”

Xi Yuanxiu saw that Liu Xiao didn't reply to him like usual, so he looked back at Liu Xiao, only to see Liu Xiao staring thoughtfully at a servant standing not far away.

"Brother Xiu'er, I look familiar, it's the same as when we came here before, but I can't remember..."

Xi Yuanxiu immediately opened his mouth and said to the prince: "Your Highness, the two of us have also gone, there is no need to add new bedding, as long as you don't pile up all the things in the prison to Yuan Huan, the lower officials will go in first!" ”

After speaking, he pulled Liu Xiao, who was still in a daze, and went into prison.

Seeing this, the prince didn't say much, and after watching the prison door being closed, he left with his two subordinates.

Xue Luping also followed, and did not forget to spit on the cell door.

"Master, I know you must have remembered something just now, I was afraid of being seen by Xue Luping, so I could only force you to come in first, what did you think about?"

Xi Yuanxiu said to Liu Xiao with some eagerness, he felt that what Liu Xiao remembered should be very beneficial to Xi Yuanxiu, who is now in prison.

"That officer, the officer who stood by the wall just now, is the one who robbed my way when I came to Yangzhou that day, you must not be wrong!"

Liu Xiao said with a panicked expression, his current performance is a little too nervous, and his two fleshy hands are also learning Xi Yuanxiu's usual movements, constantly rubbing his thighs.

Xi Yuanxiu clearly remembered that Liu Xiao said in a casual chat with him that the person who robbed the road that day covered his face and didn't see his face at all, so why did Liu Xiao know that it was this person.

Liu Xiao saw the expression on Xi Yuanxiu's face and muttered, "This person was the one who kicked me out that day, because I remember his shoes!" ”
