Liang Ziqing's question made Xiao Chongguang break out in a cold sweat and sit in the guest seat.

Although he had already guessed that Liang Xiang would ask about it sooner or later, when he really asked him to face it, Sogo didn't know how to answer. Is Liang Xiang an ordinary person? It's not something that can be fooled by just saying it.

Ziqing saw that Xiao Chongguang lowered his head slightly, silent, but chuckled: "I know, your Tiwei Mansion is not involved in party disputes, and when it comes to the prince, no one dares to answer easily." Don't worry, you just have to tell me about it, I will never say it to anyone else, no matter what the answer is, I want to know. ”

Won't speak with others? There's a bunch of people behind you waiting for me to answer!

Xiao Chongguang secretly said with disdain in his heart, now the situation of party strife is becoming more and more intense, especially when the prince is losing power and the prime minister is in full swing, Liang Xiang wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue and step up the suppression of the prince.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Chongguang crossed his hands and replied: "Prime Minister, I am incompetent, although I led dozens of people, I failed to capture the thief, of course, I don't know his name and appearance, I only know that he disappeared outside the imperial city, so I don't know the details of the Tiwei Mansion, let alone whether he is the prince's person." ”

Liang Ziqing smiled slightly: "Xiao Qing, now the power to handle the case is in your hands," and then, he lowered his voice again, "As long as you say yes, he is." ”

Anyone can hear what this sentence means, even if the spy is really an unknown thief, Liang Xiang also wants Sogo to frame the person who is the prince. Besides, Xiao Chongguang had already guessed that it was the crown prince who led Yang Lan, but he didn't know what the real purpose of the East Palace was. If you talk about Liang Xiang now, not only will Tiwei Mansion be caught in party disputes, causing the suspicion of Emperor Chu, I am afraid it will also make this case difficult to detect, the most important thing is that if you stand in the wrong team, Tiwei Mansion will really be doomed, which is also the reason why Tiwei Mansion did not participate in party disputes in previous dynasties.

Xiao Chongguang knelt down directly and said: "Prime Minister, I mention that the Wei Mansion only wants to handle the case for the Holy One wholeheartedly, what we want is the truth, the identity of the man in black is unknown, and now he says that he is from the East Palace without any evidence, which is not in accordance with the rules, the Prime Minister also said in the letter, I just want to know the news about the case, what is the purpose of the spy now?" Who? We don't know that if we casually say that it is the East Palace, it is not only not responsible for the prime minister, but also not responsible for the saint. Moreover, the scope of this case is very large, and it is hoped that the prime minister will focus on the overall situation. ”

After Liang Ziqing heard this, his face was obviously not very good, but he had nothing to refute.

Suddenly, he also calculated in his heart, if he hastily said that it was done by the prince now, whether it was the Tiwei Mansion or the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was no evidence, if the people of the East Palace caught this matter, bit back, and said that my Prime Minister's Mansion made false accusations, which led to the reversal of the situation, then he would shoot himself in the foot.

This matter will have to be discussed later.

Thinking of this, Liang Ziqing's face improved slightly, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, Xiao Qing acts impartially, and he admires him, since this is the case, he should try his best to help Xiao Qing solve this case as soon as possible." Xiao Qing, please take a seat. ”

Hearing Liang Xiang say this, Xiao Chongguang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, sat down in the guest seat, and lost no time in asking: "Prime Minister, what about Lord Liu Yuanzhen······

Liang Ziqing said: "Xiao Qing wants to know something, just ask." ”

Xiao Chongguang said: "Does the prime minister know where Lord Liu went on the day he was killed?" Why didn't you return home until the middle of the hour? ”

Liang Ziqing said: "Yuanzhen went to Qingle Zhai in Tai'an Fang that day. ”

"Then why did my subordinate ask the master of Qingle Zhai, and he said that he hadn't seen Lord Liu that night?"

"It's because Yuan Zhen and the people attending the meeting bought off the boss of Qingle Zhai with a lot of money, and told him that no one can reveal that they have come to Qingle Zhai to do this."

Qingle Zhai, like Cui Tingzhai, is a geisha house.

"Does the prime minister know who went to Qingle Zhai with Lord Liu? So what's going on? ”

"There are also Xue Changqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Lin Feng, the secretary of Taichang Temple. They are discussing the matter of the conscription edict, you also know, recently near Liangzhou, there are often Qiang people looting the people, the Holy Lord is preparing a national conscription to crusade against the Qiang Hu barbarians, just because the past conscription order, some untimely places need to be modified, so the three adults discussed the matter of changing the order overnight, and then presented it to the Holy Lord for inspection. ”

Xiao Chongguang knew that it must not be so simple, how could it be possible to change the order and repair the edict to go to a place of pleasure like Qingle Zhai, I am afraid that there is something that cannot be known to outsiders, and it is estimated that it is a matter of party dispute, since Liang Xiang does not talk about it, it is not easy to ask himself, so he has to check it slowly in the future.

"Prime Minister, do you know who did Liu Da have had a dispute with before his death?"

"As far as I know, Yuan Zhen doesn't have any enemies, and I haven't blushed with anyone until I met him."

This is exactly what Mrs. Liu said.

"Is there anyone suspicious about the prime minister?" Xiao Chongguang asked softly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it, who can Liang Xiang suspect? Of course it's the crown prince, how can he care about the truth of a murder? All he wants is power. Xiao Chongguang really wanted to slap himself, why did he lead the topic to the party struggle again in a daze.

"Nope." Liang Ziqing just sighed faintly and said.

This stunned Xiao Chongguang, Liang Xiang didn't use the topic to play? This was unexpected.

Since this is the case, it is naturally very fortunate, he coughed a few times, and then hurriedly transferred: "Prime Minister, the lower official wants to ask Lord Xue and Lord Lin tomorrow, I am afraid that there will be inconvenience, I hope the prime minister can give the lower official a convenience." ”

Liang Ziqing nodded when he heard this, and then took out a green jade pendant carved with flowers and birds from his arms, and handed it to Xiao Chongguang: "This piece is magpie bird epiphany jade, they see jade as if they see me, you take it and ask, they will definitely tell the truth." This jade will only be borrowed from you for two days, and you must return it to me after two days, otherwise, I will send someone to your Tiwei Mansion to get it personally. ”

Xiao Chongguang stepped forward, bowed down and took the jade pendant with both hands: "Thank you Prime Minister, the lower officials will definitely return this jade as scheduled." ”

Liang Ziqing nodded, and then picked up the teacup on the table: "I won't give it to you." ”

Now that Liang Xiang has issued an eviction order, Xiao Chongguang is of course interested, and even if he still has something to say, he can't ask. He put away the jade pendant, crossed his hands and said, "Then the official has resigned." ”

Liang Ziqing didn't speak, pretending not to see it and drank tea, Xiao Chongguang saw this, and he withdrew from the inner hall by himself.

He had just walked to the hall when he was suddenly greeted by a fist wind!

Xiao Chongguang subconsciously leaned back, his feet rotated, one side of his body dodged the attack range, and then took a few steps back, after fixing his figure, he took a closer look, and it turned out that the sneak attacker was the man who was standing next to the prime minister just now, named Zixiao.

He was dressed in a dark gray robe, wearing a black crowned hat, eight feet tall, with a dignified appearance, a grim face, and he was no more than twenty-three years old, but he had a domineering arrogance.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking me? Xiao Chongguang said angrily.

The man said: "I am the prime minister's guard Cao Zixiao, I heard that Lord Xiao Chongguang of the Tiwei Mansion was born in the army, and he has traveled all over the world, and he has studied art, and today I am here to receive the teaching." ”

Don't ask Xiao Chongguang if he wants to, Cao Zixiao clenched his hands into fists, and flew directly to attack, Xiao Chongguang only had to block, that Cao Zixiao's fist was fierce, fast and ruthless, like a dragon going out to sea, straight into the sky, Sogo used light skills "step cloud ladder", and "golden silk hand" palm to compete.

The main step of the cloud ladder is soft, the body is as light as a swallow, like flowing water, and the golden silk hand is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, which can resolve the opponent's offensive invisibly, and can be converted into a tough attack method, which catches the opponent off guard.

The two fought in the hall for dozens of moves, which immediately attracted many servants and maids to watch the battle, Zhou Huanzhang hurriedly came when he heard the news, and shouted: "Zixiao, don't be rude!" ”

But Cao Zixiao is already addicted, where can he decompose, Huanzhang has no choice but to rush forward, slash horizontally in the middle, separate the two, and then immediately hold down Cao Zixiao and said: "This is the prime minister's guest, how can you be allowed to come nonsense, if you alarm outsiders, what should you do." ”

Cao Zixiao stopped when he heard this, and Zhou Huanzhang turned to the group of slaves and said, "Let's all disperse." ”

The servants answered the "whoa" and scattered in all directions, each busy with his own business.

Xiao Chongguang glanced at Cao Zixiao and said, "This brother seems to be the fist of the Haijiao faction. ”

Zi Xiao raised his head and said, "Yes, I used the Tianjiao Fist of the Haijiao Sect." ”

Haijiao faction is a gang along the coast of Yangzhou black sand beach, the founder of the Haijiao faction was originally a fisherman named Li Zhao, and later because the local bullies took a fancy to his beautiful wife, taking advantage of the fisherman's time to go to sea, he led people to forcibly kidnap his wife, Li's wife did not comply, so he jumped into the sea to commit suicide.

Li Zhao wanted to find revenge on the bully, but he knew that he was invincible, so he went up the mountain to find a hermit master to learn art, and returned after five years, killing all the people who were his wife, avenging the hatred, and removing a harm for the local people.

Many local people worship him as a teacher, Li Zhao simply opened a sect in Zhushan near the black sand beach, which was originally named Tianlong faction, and later changed to Haijiao faction because of the taboo of the word "dragon", which is regarded as a first-class martial arts gang in Yangzhou.

"However, I don't understand Lord Xiao's fist and foot kung fu, I don't know who he is taught by?" Cao Zixiao asked.

Xiao Chongguang said: "The family teacher said that I was not allowed to say his surname outside, and I also swore in front of him. ”

Cao Zixiao smiled: "What can't you say? Could it be that your master is a wanted criminal by the imperial court? ”

Xiao Chongguang was furious: "Bastard! How dare you insult my master! ”

After saying that, he was about to make a move, but Zhou Huanzhang hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Brother Xiao, don't do it!" There are many eyes and ears outside, so don't reveal your whereabouts. Zi Xiao is still young and has no mouth to hide, so don't pay attention to him. ”

Xiao Chongguang snorted coldly: "For Brother Zhou's sake, I don't have the same knowledge as you, and next time, I won't be able to spare you!" ”

Cao Zixiao also said angrily: "You want to fight, right? Who's afraid of whom? I'll accompany you, sir! ”

Zhou Huanzhang shouted angrily at Zixiao: "You shut up for me!" ”

That Cao Zixiao was obviously a little afraid of Huanzhang, and after being reprimanded, he stopped talking.

"Brother Xiao, I'll send you out." Zhou Huanzhang made a gesture of invitation, and then took Xiao Chongguang to the direction of the garden.
