In the Imperial Palace, His Royal Highness Gongsun Luo and his guard commander Chu Lie searched in the palace for a day, and this search was very careful, so much so that one day also searched one-third of the palace.

In the evening, Gongsun Luo finally ordered the search to be stopped, and the rest of the place was to be checked tomorrow.

When Gongsun Luo returned to the palace, Shi Jin, who had been following him, couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, why didn't you go directly to the palace of the Second Highness after you received the holy decree?" Wouldn't it be a waste of time to search elsewhere? ”

Who knew that Gongsun Luo smiled proudly: "You don't understand this, right?" If I go directly to the second child's palace to search, my father will be dissatisfied and think that I am targeting the second child. And if the second child hadn't hidden the assassin in the palace, wouldn't it have made him fall behind? ”

Shi Jin asked as if he didn't understand: "So Your Highness plans to search the palace of the Second Highness tomorrow?" ”

Gongsun Luo smiled mysteriously: "I am free to arrange this, I have already discussed the plan with the teacher this time, you just wait to see how the palace captures the assassin!" ”

At the same time, Tang Xu confirmed in Dongshi that the two people who had stolen military uniforms had been caught and walked straight away, and hurriedly returned to Gongsun Zhi's palace.

"Second Highness, everything is done!" Tang Xu said respectfully.

Gongsun Zhi smiled slightly: "Okay!" Since this matter is going so smoothly, it is time to tell Xu Fei about Xu Fei's death! Go and bring Xu Fei here. ”

After a while, Tang Xu and Hua Wu brought Xu Fei to Gongsun Zhi's side. As soon as Gongsun Zhi saw Xu Fei, his face showed pain, and Xu Fei felt a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.

"Second Highness, what's wrong? Why did you call me all of a sudden? ”

Gongsun Zhi arched his hand towards Xu Fei: "Brother Xu, this palace can't stand you!" Last night, a fire broke out in Jingzhao Yin's prison, and Xu Xuan was unfortunately buried in the fire! ”

"What!" When Xu Fei heard this, the hairs of the whole person stood up instantly, and the boss with two eyes stared, eager to eat the person: "Who set the fire?" It can't be you, Second Highness, right? ”

"Why did Brother Xu say this? Are you doubting me? After I learned the news, I immediately ordered Tang Xu and Hua Wu to investigate, and I told Brother Xu when I had eyebrows. ”

When Xu Fei heard this, he immediately looked at Tang Xu and Hua Wu: "Tell me quickly, who set the fire?" ”

Tang Xu looked at Gongsun Zhi and saw that he nodded, Tang Xu said: "According to our investigation, it may be that little Taoist priest under Zhang Shumo who set the fire!" ”

"Zhang Shumo!" Xu Fei gritted his teeth and squeezed out Zhang Shumo's name from his mouth, and then asked, "Have you ever found conclusive evidence?" ”

"Not yet, but Jing Zhaoyin has already caught important witnesses, and I believe it will come out soon!" Gongsun Zhi said on the side.

Xu Fei clenched his fists: "I want to go out of the palace to investigate this matter personally!" ”

Gongsun Zhi nodded: "I was about to talk about it." Today, my father ordered the boss to search for an assassin in the palace. Although it wasn't aimed at Brother Xu, it would be found out if I was not sure, so I was about to arrange for someone to send Brother Xu out of the palace. ”

When Xu Fei heard this, he immediately said: "Then send me out of the palace now, my sword is already hungry and thirsty!" ”

So, Gongsun Zhi immediately arranged and personally took Xu Fei out of the palace.

Gongsun Zhi and his party came to the gate of the palace, but the carriage stopped. Gongsun Zhi lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out: "Why did it stop suddenly?" ”

"His Royal Highness, I was stopped by the palace guards." Tang Xu said immediately.

Gongsun Zhi snorted heavily and looked at the guards in front of him: "Who is so presumptuous and dares to stop the carriage of this palace, this is completely not taking this palace in his eyes!" ”

The leading guard hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to Gongsun Zhi: "The little one doesn't dare!" Returning to the Second Highness, the small one is Bao Yi, the deputy commander of the palace guards, and according to the instructions of His Royal Highness, he checked all the people who left the palace again! ”

Gongsun Zhi narrowed his eyes, and then glared at Bao Yi: "Does this person also include this palace?" ”

Bao Yi hurriedly lowered his head: "Your Highness said that all those who leave the palace need to be checked!" ”

When Gongsun Zhi heard this, he slapped his palm on the carriage heavily: "How can this be reasonable!" Big brother's words are orders, don't my words work? ”

After speaking, Gongsun Zhi jumped out of the carriage and walked straight to the outside of the palace: "I see who dares to stop the palace today!" ”

The guards blocking the palace gate immediately looked at Bao Yi, and Bao Yi quickly shook his head at the guards and signaled not to let Gongsun Zhi go out. Seeing this, the guards had no choice but to stand in place.

Gongsun Zhi was furious when he saw this, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to the guards who were blocking the way, and the guards didn't dare to fight back, and more than a dozen guards fell to the ground in an instant.

At this last moment, Gongsun Luo finally arrived.

"Stop!" Gongsun Luo took Chu Lie and Shi Jin to the gate of the palace one after the other: "The second brother has such a big temper, I ordered to block the palace gate, but the second brother was angry at a group of guards, why don't I stand here and let the second brother slap a few palms to dissipate his anger?" ”

When Gongsun Zhi saw Gongsun Luo, he knew in his heart that he had been tricked. Gongsun Luo's palace is still some distance away from the palace gate, how could he come so quickly, and when he saw that Gongsun Luo was waiting for him here.

But Gongsun Zhi's face did not show panic, but took a deep breath and arched his hand at Gongsun Luo: "The eldest brother taught me that it was the younger brother who was reckless, but the younger brother learned that Jing Zhaoyin had caught the key witness in the arson case in the prison, so he wanted to learn the news quickly, and he was a little anxious." ”

Gongsun Luo smiled slightly, and came to Gongsun Zhi's face: "I can understand the second brother's mood at the moment, but I received a holy decree from my father, to find out the assassins in the palace, naturally I can't be sloppy, if the second brother has no objections, then let Commander Chu lead people to check the people who went out of the palace with the second brother!" ”

Gongsun Zhi narrowed his eyes, then stood aside and motioned for Gongsun Luo to be casual.

Gongsun Luo snorted coldly and immediately asked Chu Lie to lead people to start the investigation.

In the past, Gongsun Zhi took at most two or three people out of the palace, but this time there was a whole team of guards when he left the palace, and Chu Lie had to take people to be questioned. Since Chu Lie is the commander of the guards, he knows a little about the palace guards. When Chu Lie saw Xu Fei, he immediately became alert.

"Name? Origin? When to enter the palace? ”

"In Xia Xu Fei, a native of Daijing, he entered the palace three months ago!" Xu Fei replied unhurriedly.

Chu Lie sneered in his heart when he heard it, Xu Feicao was not Dai Jing's accent at all, and he was lying at first glance. So Chu Lie immediately said: "Come on, bring the roster of palace guards, I want to see if there is a Daijing person named Xu Fei!" ”。

Gongsun Zhi looked at it and hurriedly said: "Big brother, when will we get the roster like this, why don't we go first, let Commander Chu face it slowly, and it's not too late to talk about it when we come back!" ”

Gongsun Luo smiled slightly: "Okay, then the second brother will leave first." Let this Xu Fei stay first, and when we find out his identity, we will naturally let him go! ”
