Chapter 142: Covert Investigation

"Jingcong, someone just blew smoke into our room."

Yan Zixi said as she took out an elixir from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Xiao Jingcong, "You can take one of these elixirs first, it can refresh your mind a little." ”

Xiao Jingcong knocked down the pill, and then scolded angrily: "Who is it?" Xi'er, can you see who attacked us? ”

Yan Zixi shook her head, "There are two masked black-clothed people who came in, I don't know what kind of old man it is, but one of them revealed Lord Chen in his mouth." ”

"What, Lord Chen? Is it the Chen County Order? ”

Xiao Jingcong immediately gritted his teeth when he heard this, and scolded angrily in his mouth: "That Chen County Order is really problematic, it seems that he will definitely not be able to get rid of the disaster relief!" ”

"Jingcong, what are you going to do now? They stole your gold medal, I'm afraid there is a next move, and if you don't stop it in time, I'm afraid that even more disasters will brew out......" Yan Zixi expressed her worries.

Xiao Jingcong nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's better not to startle the snake now, I'll go back to the county government and see if I can find any clues!" ”

"Jingcong, I'll go with you!"

Yan Zixi chased after her and wanted to go to the county office with Xiao Jingcong, but was rejected by Xiao Jingcong.

"Xi'er, be good! This time I'm going to investigate, and if you go, it will be bad. ”

"What's wrong with me?"

"Will you climb over the wall?"

"No, it won't."

"Will you do it lightly?"

"Won't ......"

"Then you're still going?!"

"But...... But I was left alone at the inn...... I'm scared, Jing Cong......" Yan Zixi's eyes flashed with tears, not like she was lying.

Xiao Jingcong gently patted Yan Zixi's shoulder, and said to her softly: "Xi'er, don't be afraid! I have already notified Mo Yun and Bai Qian that they are coming to protect you. Well, you stay at the inn and don't go anywhere. ”

Saying that, Xiao Jingcong jumped out of the window with his sword, so angry that Yan Zixi stomped his feet.

"Hmph, Stinky Jingcong! Leave the old lady alone again! I hate you......"

……

Xiao Jingcong's figure disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye, although the injuries on his body had not yet healed, but it was just some simple light skills, Xiao Jingcong could still easily perform it.

When Xiao Jingcong appeared again, he had already fallen on the wall of the county government.

Xiao Jingcong used the tower as a cover, carefully observing every move in the courtyard of the government below.

He found that even in the middle of the night, there were still many guards patrolling back and forth in the palace. Xiao Jingcong immediately frowned, and said to herself suspiciously.

"A small mansion, so late, and send so many guards to patrol? It's so weird! ”

Xiao Jingcong stood in the tower and waited for a long time, and finally waited for the time for the guards below to change shifts, sneaked down, and quickly touched Chen Xianling's study.

Because he came once during the day, Xiao Jingcong's layout of the county government was also very clear, so he could find this opportunity in a short period of time and smoothly enter Chen Xianling's study without being discovered by the guards patrolling outside.

After Xiao Jingcong entered the study, he held his breath and condensed, and the saber in his hand was half drawn, in order to deal with the sudden situation, tiptoeing all the way, Xiao Jingcong gently walked in front of Chen County's desk, ready to check who Chen County's order had passed through the letter before, maybe he could find any clues from these letterheads.

However, after looking through it for a long time, Xiao Jingcong found that those letters were all normal official documents and the like, and he couldn't find anything useful at all.

"It seems that the old fox is quite cautious, and those key letters must have been read and burned......"

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingcong decided not to waste any more time on these letters, and turned around and walked to the row of bookshelves.

When passing in front of one of the bookshelves, Xiao Jingcong suddenly stopped.

He took a closer look at the bookshelves in front of him, and then looked at the bookshelves next to him, and found that only a certain layer on this bookshelf did not fall dust, presumably because he used it regularly and did not leave dust.

"Could it be some secret door?"

Xiao Jingcong immediately searched for the bookshelf on that floor to see if he could find any mechanism.

An ancient book caught Xiao Jingcong's attention, and the same was the only thing that did not fall dust on this book.

Xiao Jingcong reached out and was about to pick up the book, but found that the book seemed to be firmly glued to the bookshelf and could not be taken off at all. He tried to spin it, and sure enough, the book did.

As Xiao Jingcong rotated one hundred and eighty degrees, a mechanism was triggered by him.

With the triggering of the mechanism, it seemed to alarm those people outside, and soon someone broke into the study and surrounded Xiao Jingcong. Bookbag netting

Xiao Jingcong said in her heart that it was not good, and if she wanted to get out at this moment, she was afraid that it would be too late.

Sure enough, a familiar voice rang out.

"I don't know what the intention of this distinguished guest is to visit the county government study of this official late at night?"

Xiao Jingcong walked out from behind the bookshelf when he heard the sound, and when he saw Chen Xianling blocking the door, his face immediately showed a gloomy color.

"Chen County Order, why don't you sleep so late?"

"Yo, who am I? Isn't this Lord Xiao? A few of you put away the knives for me, and hurry up to meet Prince Xiao of the Zhenguo General's Mansion! Chen Xianling scolded the guards under him on the spot, and then nodded and walked in front of Xiao Jingcong, and asked.

"Lord Xiao, the lower official was worried that the flood would inevitably occur late at night, and he heard movement from the study, so he brought the guards to check ......"

After a slight pause, Chen Xianling raised his head, glanced at Xiao Jingcong, and asked with a cunning smile: "It's you, Lord Xiao, it's so late, I don't know what the important thing is to break into the study of the lower officials?" Could it be that Prince Xiao is looking for a few books to read? ”

Of course, Chen County Ling knew that Xiao Jingcong was in the middle of the night and trespassed into his county office, and he definitely wouldn't do it to find a book to read.

The specific reason is well known to both parties.

Xiao Jingcong also grinned suddenly, and replied with a calm and breezy expression: "Chen County Order, what this king wants to do, I don't need to report to you, right?" This king lost something during the day, so he came to the county office to look for it, and in the dead of night, he didn't want to wake up Chen County Order. ”

"Oh?!" Chen Xianling pretended to be surprised when he heard this, and followed Xiao Jingcong's words and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Xiao, I don't know what you lost during the day?" Can the lower officials help? ”

Xiao Jingcong smiled faintly and confided word by word, "This king's gold medal!" ”

"What?! Lord, did you lose your gold medal? That's a big deal! Find, be sure to find! ”

Chen Xianling exclaimed anxiously, "I wonder if the prince can find your gold medal in the study?" ”

Xiao Jingcong also continued to act with Chen Xianling, he shook his head and sighed, "Alas, I didn't find it, it doesn't seem to be lost here." ”

Saying that, Xiao Jingcong glanced at Chen County Order again, and continued leisurely in his mouth: "Chen County Order, it's already late at night, and this king will come back tomorrow to look for it and leave." ”

Xiao Jingcong was about to go out of the door, but the guards blocked the door and blocked Xiao Jingcong's face.

Xiao Jingcong was shocked in his heart, his face still remained calm, he slowly turned around and glared at Chen County Order in front of him: "Chen County Order, what do you mean?!" ”

"Oh, it's not interesting, Lord Xiao, you see that it's so late this day, it's better to stay in the county office." If something happens to the prince when he goes out, then the lower officials can't afford it even if they have a hundred heads! ”

"Chen Zhicai, you!"

Xiao Jingcong stretched out his hand and pointed at the Chen County Order, he never thought that this Chen County Order would be so bold that even he, a dignified prince, would dare to detain it.

The name is good, but he doesn't know what little calculations he has in his heart.

Xiao Jingcong still took a step less, if he was really detained by Chen County's order, what would happen to him, it was really unknown.

And Xiao Jingcong is more and more sure that there must be some big backer behind Chen County's order, otherwise he would not be so arrogant, and even arrogant enough to detain the prince of the dignified Zhenguo General's Mansion.

The only thing that can be explained is that the backer behind Chen County's order is even louder than his name as a general of Zhenguo.

Xiao Jingcong quickly thought about the comparable characters in his mind, and soon had a preliminary guess.

In addition to the emperor, the only people who can keep Xiao Jingcong in his eyes may be those princes in the palace.

The fourth prince, Xiao Yuyan, is his confidant and brother, and he will definitely not do such a thing.

The fifth prince is still young, although he has been courting the ministers of the court recently, but he should not have the courage to dare to detain the prince.

The rest are only the second prince Xiao Yuxian and the third prince Xiao Yuchen.

Xiao Yuchen was born to Concubine Shu, with a good character, gentle and elegant, and a scholarly spirit, on the surface, it doesn't seem like he can do such a thing.

However, he is now competing with the second prince for the position of prince, if he really did it, Xiao Jingcong would not be the slightest strange.

As for the second prince, Xiao Yuxian, among all the princes, he is most likely to do such a thing.

But these are all things to be considered later, and what is now in front of us is how to get out first.

If it were a normal time, Xiao Jingcong would naturally be able to deal with these guards, but now that his injuries have not healed, rash action may aggravate his injuries, and when the time comes, the wound will burst, and he may have to worry about his life.

But if you are caught like this, you don't know what ulterior things Chen County Ling will do.

It's not even impossible to kill people!

Damn it!

Xiao Jingcong clenched the matte, and her fists were even more clenched.

Seeing that Xiao Jingcong was silent, Chen Xianling stepped forward again, and asked with a smile: "Lord Xiao, please!" ”
