"You ask. However, I have said in advance, if it involves matters in the palace, I will not be able to advise you on the responsibilities of the next one. Although the white river crane is tall and burly, it is white and clean, with a beard on the upper lip and chin, and it is majestic and majestic, so it is called "the white-faced general".

Xiao Chongguang said: "The general has only seen it, who has entered the imperial city?" ”

"How long are you talking about?"

"It's just a stick of incense before we arrive."

Bai Jianghe pondered for a while and said: "There are three people, first a eunuch in civilian clothes came, saying that it was for Concubine Yun to buy some spices outside the city. Then there was the crown prince Wei who led Yang Lan, but he looked tired and didn't know what to do. Finally, it was Wang Jing, counselor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who anxiously went to Shangshutai to do business. ”

When Xiao Chongguang heard this, after thinking for a while, he thanked Bai Jianghe with his crossed hands and led everyone to leave.

Lu Yunsheng stepped forward and said, "Brother Xiao, the situation is obvious, it must be ······"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Chongguang glared at him, and Yun Sheng understood his mind and stopped talking. Sogo turned back to the government soldiers and messengers of Jingzhao Mansion and said: "Thank you brothers for your help, today is Xiao is useless, let the thief escape, you can go back and tell Lord Guo the truth about today's events." ”

After everyone replied: "Wow", turned around and was about to leave, Hu Yingtang came with a dry white-clothed armor, he glanced at Xiao Chongguang's team, frowned slightly, and said: "Why, Lord Xiao, didn't you catch the thief who spies on Tiwei Mansion?" ”

Xiao Chongguang looked at each other coldly and said, "That thief is very cunning, and he escaped." ”

"Hmph," Ying Tang sneered, "Lord Xiao, this is outside the Imperial City, you actually let the thieves escape in the closest place to the Holy Lord, your Tiwei Mansion is really powerful." ”

When Lu Yunsheng heard this ridicule, he was about to get angry, Xiao Chongguang stretched out his hand to press his shoulder, and said to Hu Yingtang: "Hu Zhangshi, if you say so, then Xiao has something to talk to you about." ”

"Listen up." Hu Yingtang said with a smile on his face.

Xiao Chongguang said: "Since the beginning of Lord Liu's assassination, your Spiegel Division has been following up on this matter, am I right? ”

Hu Yingtang said: "Yes, this matter has a lot to do, and our Spiegel Division has to take action." ”

"Okay, since this matter is so important, then why has the Spiegel Division not followed up on this case, since I took over the three days, only the Jingzhao Mansion has assisted, and your Spiegel Division has not even shown a face. Don't talk about it, just say that the Zheng Fu family murder case, you only sent someone to make some records and left the scene, can Spiegel really handle this case? Who are you to mock me for Tiweifu? ”

Hu Yingtang's face twitched for a while, and then he said: "What's the matter, it's okay if you didn't catch anyone in the Tiwei Mansion, right?" Is it still my fault for this, Spiegel? Could it be that without my Spiegel Division, you Tiwei Mansion would not be able to handle the case? ”

"Heh, I didn't say that," Xiao Chongguang sneered, "I mean, if you Spiegel Division has no intention of investigating this case, you should stop it as soon as possible, so as not to get in the way of the big thing." After speaking, Xiao Chongguang turned his head and left with the guards brushing their sleeves.

Hu Yingtang didn't say a word, just stared at Sogo's distant back with a gloomy face.

Dongdu Dongshi Jingkangfang Tiweifu Sichu

In the inner hall of the Tiwei Mansion, Xiao Chongguang and Lu Yunsheng sat cross-legged on the couch, they took off their thick coats and lit two red stoves to heat up.

"What were you trying to say on the road?" Xiao Chongguang asked.

Lu Yunsheng said: "In my opinion, if this spy is a person who can enter and exit the imperial city, it is likely to be Wang Jing, the counselor of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"Oh, why?"

"Brother Xiao should have heard that when Liang Xiang recruited party henchmen, he liked people who were both civil and military, even if the other party had a humble status and was born poor, as long as it matched his vision, even a crow could become a phoenix. I have heard of this Wang Jing, who once served in Tu'an County, Qingzhou, during which he invited a monk from Jinguang Temple in Lianshan to teach kung fu. The man in black is mainly based on claw techniques, which does not conform to the habit of people in my Central Plains to practice more fist skills, and all Wang Jing is very suspicious. Lu Yunsheng analyzed.

Xiao Chongguang shook his head and said, "I don't think so. The monks of Jinguang Temple are Bosu people, and Bosu is far away in southern Xinjiang, where the area is vast but there are many wetlands, and it is inconvenient to walk, so the Bosu people practice more leg methods, and are famous for their leg and foot fighting skills. You forgot the news that Wang Jing played shuttlecock in the Prime Minister's Mansion last time to win the championship, and you still said that a counselor is so childlike. ”

"Then Brother Xiao thinks it's ······" Yunsheng frowned slightly.

"Prince Wei rate, Yang Lan." Xiao Chongguang's tone was very affirmative.

The crown prince's guard, that is, the commander of the prince's guard forbidden army, is responsible for guarding the East Palace, and is subordinate to the prince Zhan Shi, which can be said to be the prince's personal army.

Lu Yunsheng was puzzled: "Why does Brother Xiao think it's Yang Lan?" This person is the prince's personal entourage, and he is in real power, even if he comes to inquire about the news, there is no need to come in person. ”

Xiao Chongguang said: "First of all, the eunuchs of Yunfei Palace don't need to say it, there is nothing to doubt." Wang Jing, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, has no kung fu of the man in black. And the prince Wei led Yang Lan I have heard about this person, he is superb, even stronger than ordinary army generals, and his martial arts are not below you and me. Only such a person dared to come to Tiwei Mansion to inquire about the news, if it was someone else, he would have been captured a long time ago. What I am most certain of all is that six years ago, he learned Tiger Claw Gong from the Cangsong School in Fushan, Yangzhou. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yunsheng's eyes widened in surprise: "Yes, that black-clothed man's claw method is like a vicious tiger descending the mountain, and he has used the heart-digging method several times, which is undoubtedly a tiger's claw skill." ”

Xiao Chongguang crossed his fingers with both hands to support his chin: "In this way, the prince's suspicion is even heavier." ”

Lu Yunsheng said: "This matter is tricky, if it is really the prince who did it, it is indeed difficult to investigate." Not to mention anything else, Yang Lan is a person who is in a high position, lives in a simple place, and follows the prince most of the time, and we have no evidence in our hands, so we can't find him at all. ”

Xiao Chongguang said: "I'm thinking about another question, why did the prince send Yang Lan to Tiwei Mansion to spy on intelligence?" I'm afraid it can only be that we suspect that Donggong is involved in the assassination, but only you know about it. ”

Lu Yunsheng stared at Xiao Chongguang with golden eyebrows and said, "Hey, you shouldn't doubt me, right?" ”

"No, no, no," Sogo waved his hand hurriedly, "I suspect that there are other people in the Tiwei Mansion who are the Prince's dark ghosts. ”

Lu Yunsheng sneered self-deprecatingly: "Heh, it's lively now, our Tiwei Mansion has gathered two groups of dark ghosts and horses from the Xiangfu and the East Palace, if we add the Jingzhao Mansion and the Ming Spiegel Division, we can hold a meeting on the affairs of the Eastern Capital in this hall outside." ”

When Sogo heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After a pause, Lu Yunsheng said again: "Brother Xiao, do you want to inform Liang Xiang about the prince sending someone to spy on him?" ”

Xiao Chongguang said with a serious face: "No, if I tell him about the prince, then I will really participate in the party struggle when I mention the Wei Mansion." Even if we cooperate with the prime minister, we must keep the bottom line and never go beyond Lei Chi. ”

Lu Yunsheng crossed his hands and said, "Huh." ”

The imperial city of the eastern capital, Qingning Palace, is at the beginning

"Rubbish! I can't even do that! ”

The prince slammed the teacup to the ground with a "snap". The man in blue who was kneeling on the ground hurriedly lowered his head.

The prince said angrily: "It's good now, you have alarmed the entire capital, stealing chickens is not a loss of rice, if your identity is discovered, all the fire in Liu Yuanzhen's assassination case will be led to this palace, do you want to watch this palace be given death by unwarranted injustice!" ”

"I don't dare."

The man in blue trembled with fright, he slowly raised his head and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, although the minister was hunted down, fortunately, the minister's true face was not seen, and the minister did not say a word from beginning to end, and his identity will never be revealed. ”

The man in blue had dark skin, good facial features, and a burly figure - this person was Yang Lan, the head of the crown prince's guard, that is, the man in black who sped on Tiwei's mansion. After he got into the crowd, he immediately took off his disguised black clothes and mask, and threw them in the hidden corners of the street that were relatively difficult to find.

"What do you know?" The crown prince was still angry, "What are you doing when you are in the Tiwei Mansion, the Ming Spiegel Division and the Jingzhao Mansion, any clues may expose you, but there is no evidence to arrest you and ask you for the crime." Don't go out these days, stay in the Red Maple Courtyard of the East Palace for a while, and avoid the limelight. ”

"Whoa."

Yang Lan replied with his crossed hands and retreated.

At this time, Jiang Bi, who was standing on the side, crossed his hand and said to the prince: "His Royal Highness the Prince, if Yang Lan is troubled, we will not send others out to investigate for the time being." ”

The prince said: "This palace knows, I'm not stupid to that extent, I just can't think of it, what should I do next?" ”

Jiang Bi said: "Your Highness, in fact, Yang Lan's trip can at least prove that the Tiwei Mansion has not conspired with Liang Xiang. If they really conspired with the prime minister, and someone spied on the Tiwei Mansion, such a great opportunity, how could the prime minister let it go? The inevitable soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion will also join the team to hunt down Yang Wei, even if he is not His Royal Highness's person, he can bend into a trick to slander the prince, but the Prime Minister's Mansion did not, and he didn't get the news in time, just now that the Prime Minister's Counselor Wang Jing entered the imperial city, and it was only an excerpt for Liang Xiang to submit some of the matters of the New Year's Festival. Therefore, Tiwei Fu suspected that His Highness was only guessing out of thin air because it was a member of the Prime Minister's party who died. ”

The prince pondered for a moment, and then said: "Even so, we should not take it lightly, notify the hidden piles everywhere, strictly monitor them, and report any movement immediately." ”

"Whoa." Jiang Bi replied respectfully.

At this time, the prince suddenly said again: "Jiang Qing, it is really condescending to be Sinong Siqing with your talent, and I will ascend the throne in the future and promote you to the great Sikong." ”

Jiang Bixi said: "The old minister first thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here. ”

Dongdu West City Zhengtongfang Spiegel Division

"Okay, you Xiao Chongguang, even my people in the Spiegel Division dare to scold."

He Qian, the secretary of the Spiegel Division, sat in the front of the hall, looking ahead, squinting slightly, and in front of him knelt down Hu Yingtang, who came back to pray.

He Qian stood up, flicked his sleeves lightly and said, "It seems that some dark piles should be mobilized. ”
