Two thousand soldiers of the East Palace, wearing helmets and carrying weapons, neatly held torches, and walked out of the East Palace.

When all the soldiers walked out of the East Palace, looking from behind, a long dragon stretched straight forward, and there was no end in sight.

The sound of uniform footsteps, mixed with the sound of metal on the armor and the sound of horses' hooves, although messy, made people feel the feeling of blood surging, and a solemn atmosphere inadvertently infected everyone around.

"Report, the soldiers of the Prince's Mansion have set off from the East Palace and are heading south!"

"To the south?" Chen Yanjin breathed a sigh of relief, the imperial city is in the east of the prince's mansion, if the prince wants to rebel, he should come directly to the palace, it seems that he thinks too much, so what does the prince do with his troops late at night?

Not only was Chen Biting Jin relieved, but when he learned that the prince's soldiers were going south, the emperor in the palace also breathed a sigh of relief, and a little regretful, if the prince really rebelled, although it would not succeed, but at least he said that the secrecy was done well, and he did not receive the news that the prince was preparing to rebel.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince!"

"It's okay, go south, queen, rest late at night, that rebel, tomorrow I will see how he explains!"

"Your Majesty, didn't you let the crown prince come to see you?"

"Let that rebel kneel outside!"

“……”

Yu Zhiqian watched the soldiers of the East Palace drive out of the East Palace in columns, there were so many people in his palace? And it's so close to the imperial city, if his ambitions are inflated, can he directly take the imperial city? However, Yu Zhiqian just thought about it, and soon put this terrible idea behind him!

"Zhang Zhan, let's go too!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian was about to get into the carriage!

"Your Highness, at this time, you are not fit to ride in a carriage!"

Zhang Zhan reminded Yu Zhiqian, who was about to take the carriage, in a low voice.

"Also, go and bring me the red rabbit horse!"

"Whoa!"

Xiao Huang has been doing well recently, at least he doesn't have to be picked and searched for long hair and deducting rations, and he has grown taller, but he is still a foal.

"Your Highness, this horse seems to be a little ······"

"Forget it, bring Ruthless here!"

"Whoa!"

Soon, a docile mare was brought over, which was also the only horse Yu Zhiqian had ever ridden, and it felt pretty good.

"Let's go!"

After getting on the horse, Yu Zhiqian shouted again in high spirits, but it's a pity that there is no armor, otherwise, it will be even more handsome.

In front of the fangmen, Zhou Ping rode a horse and confronted the four fangmen guards, and the fangmen guards stopped the army tremblingly: "General Zhou, I don't know why I moved troops late at night!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered to search Pingkangfang, and don't open the door quickly!"

"General Zhou, Datang Law, it is forbidden to go out of the workshop late at night, and General Zhou Haihan is also invited!" After the gate guard finished speaking, he lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"Why did it stop!"

"Your Highness, it may be that the gate guards will not let you go!"

"Huh?"

Yu Zhiqian's legs clamped slightly, and the ruthlessness under him immediately ran up with small steps.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Open the door!"

"Whoa!"

The garrison didn't say anything this time, and directly waved his hand to open the door directly.

Pingkang Fang

As an entertainment venue in Datang, Pingkangfang is generally singing every night, although there is a curfew, but it is useless here.

Not only is it fast, patrolling, the officials don't dare to cause trouble, and even the Wuhou who patrols is just turning a blind eye, after all, behind every Qinglou, there are some big people to support him, and Pingkangfang has a lot of filial piety every month, as long as no one makes trouble, hello, I'm good, everyone.

"Come, come, come, keep drinking, wine, wine!"

"It's not me blowing with you, this matter is the entire Chang'an City, no one can do it for you except me!"

"This is the best Du Kang, taste it, taste it!"

"Let go of me, I'm not drunk, who said I'm drunk, like a flower, like a flower, come to my arms!"

“……”

In addition to the occasional sound of children crying in other workshops, most people have fallen asleep, only Pingkangfang is still bright, and the Wuhou who keeps vigil on both sides of the fang, guards, throws drunks directly to the grass pile not far away, and does not let them go out of the workshop.

Every time a drunk comes, these martial marquis, the garrison will have a smile on his face, directly up and down his hands to touch around, and take away all the valuable things on their bodies, this is their extra money, it is rumored that the fang has been guarded for a year and a half, and the gold and silver are exchanged for belts.

"Listen, what a voice!"

A martial artist listened to the sound in the distance, put away his purse, and patted his companion beside him hard.

"Huh? It seems to be the sound of a march! ”

As the voice got closer and closer, the faces of these Wuhou became more and more ugly, and there was an army marching to Pingkangfang in the middle of the night?

Soon, the sound of uniform footsteps was already deafening, and the group of martial marquis and the garrison looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

"Open the door, open the door! Bang bang! ”

Before they knew what time it had happened, there was a sharp knock on the door.

"Do you want to open the door?"

The garrison looked at Wuhou, who was not an ordinary patrol, but Jin Wuwei, who was also one of the forbidden troops, and they would patrol the streets after the curfew at night.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered to search Pingkangfang, and if there is any obstruction, there will be no forgiveness!"

There was another shout from the other end of the door, and this time the gate guard opened the door without hesitation.

As soon as the gate was halfway open, a group of sergeants pushed the gate open, and then a group of soldiers with armor and knives rushed into the gate and occupied the exit position.

"Guard the four doors, and don't let a single mouse out!"

After Zhou Ping rode in on horseback, he passed Yu Zhiqian's order down.

"Whoa!"

A group of soldiers divided into four groups and rushed in four different directions, while Wuhou and the garrison stood aside and did not dare to speak.

"General Zhou, we are Jin Wuwei who patrols the night, can we leave!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has decreed that no one is allowed to leave Pingkangfang tonight!"

"Whoa!"

Wu Hou looked at each other helplessly and found a place to sit down.

Soon, Su Dingfang entered the square kang with the right guard rate, compared to the left guard rate only surrounded Pingkang Fang, the right guard rate was much more violent, after entering the fang, this group of sergeants under the leadership of the team was divided into small teams and began to search.

"Master Jun, Master Jun!"

At first, the turtle slave didn't know what was going on, but he looked at the soldiers led by the right guard who rushed over with a smile on his face.

But this group of sergeants directly pushed this turtle slave away and walked towards the inside of the green building.

"Master Jun, Master Jun, the shop is legally operated, what are you doing, Master Jun, Master Jun, slow down, it will scare ......"

"The prince ordered, search Pingkangfang, if anyone stops him, there will be no forgiveness!"

The captain who took the lead arched his hand in the direction of the palace and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the turtle slave didn't dare to speak, let go of his body, and let the sergeant enter the green building.

There was no one in the lobby of this Qinglou, all of them were drunkards, drunk like mud, some were lying on the table and falling asleep, and some were still drunken and bragging.

After the sergeant entered the green building, without saying a word, he turned out the waist cards of these people, checked them, checked them one by one, the waist cards here are like modern ID cards, living in Chang'an City, going out is to bring waist cards, and from time to time someone will spot check.

And generally there is a place like a guest room on the second floor of the green building, which is the boudoir of the girls, and most of the overnight guests live here, of course, this price is not cheap, fast food and night package are two prices, and it has been like this since ancient times.

"Open the door!"

"Open the door!"

knocked twice, and if there was no one to open the door, the group of soldiers directly kicked the door and rushed in.

"Ah, who are you!"

The guests who were awakened in their sleep and the Qinglou woman screamed in horror, and the group of sergeants directly opened the quilt to find a waist card to dip in some cheapness.

The search from house to house, although the speed is not fast, but Pingkangfang is so big, sooner or later it will be searched, as long as Lu San is in this place, he will be arrested sooner or later.

"Your Highness, I found it, this is something I found out from Fan Jin's house!"

Zhang Xiaojing took the so-called immortal medicine and handed it to Yu Zhiqian.

Yu Zhiqian recognized at first glance what this yellow thing was, opium!

"Is that all?"

"That's all there is to it!"

"Divide it up and tell the sergeant who searched that I will also arrest the person who finds these things with me!"

"Yes!"

Yu Zhiqian sat on the horse, staring at the chaotic Pingkangfang, the horsewhip in his hand, gently patting it in his hand, how could there be opium now?

"Your Highness, this seems to be Fleur!"

Zhou Ping Yu Zhiqian, who was beside him, had a small piece of remnants in his hand and said in a low voice.

"Fleur?"

"Yes, it seems to be a bit similar, but Ah Hibiscus is brown, much darker than this, after Ah Hibiscus is lit, there is a sweet fragrance, so it is called Ah Hibiscus, but the price is more expensive, Xia Guan has only seen some Hu people in the West Market have sold it!"

"Is it already in circulation?"

Yu Zhiqian's brows furrowed again, Fan Jin was taking drugs, and this opium was also found at home, he called this thing an elixir!

Intuition told Yu Zhiqian that behind this was not only the fraud of the imperial examination, but also a bigger conspiracy waiting for Yu Zhiqian.

"Your Highness, Gonggong Wu is here!"

Just when Yu Zhiqian was thinking about things, Zhou Ping beside him reminded Yu Zhiqian.

When I turned my head, I saw Wu Sangui's smiling face, followed by two little eunuchs, who were slowly walking towards Yu Zhiqian.

"Father should know, let's go, see how my father punishes me!"

Yu Zhiqian sighed, it was a taboo for the prince to transfer troops privately, and it was also a late night move, Yu Zhiqian estimated that this time he would have to take off a layer of skin if he didn't die!

"Your Highness!"

"Grandpa Wu came to visit late at night, hard work!"

"The prince worked hard, and he made a big move late at night, and His Majesty was taken aback!"

"Eh, Gonggong Wu, don't play riddles, does my father have a will?"

"Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty will let you enter the palace immediately!"

"What else?"

"It's gone!"

"Gone?"

"There is Lao Wu's father-in-law, but the palace still has important things to do for the time being, and when it is dealt with, I will enter the palace immediately!"

Wu Sangui stared at Yu Zhiqian: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is still waiting for you!" ”

"Eh, Gonggong Wu, I really have something to do, you go back and tell your father, and I'll go when I'm done!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian no longer paid attention to Wu Sangui.

"Your Highness, the old slave has one more mouth, this disobedience is a big crime!"

"Alright, I know, stand down!"

"The old slave retires!"

After Wu Sangui left, Zhou Ping looked at Yu Zhiqian with concern: "Your Highness, you are resisting the decree!" ”

"I know!"

"Your Highness......"

"Alright, go check it out, don't miss a person!"

"Whoa!"

Yu Zhiqian felt that things had exceeded his expectations, the world had been changed by the devil, and opium had also flowed in many years in advance, which was definitely not good news!

"Your Highness, there is a harvest, I caught a person named Liu Qun, he has this on his body!"

I saw two military men holding a sallow-faced, drunken drunk, and found a small piece of opium in his purse.

"Keep looking!"

Yu Zhiqian originally thought that only Lu San would have opium, but he didn't expect that just after searching for a while, he had already found that someone also had this thing on him.

"Wake him up!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Soon, someone found two basins of water and splashed them on this guy named Liu Qunren, and this drunk guy slowly woke up.

"Where am I?"

"Who are you?"

"Your name is Liu Qun?"

Yu Zhiqian looked at the guy in front of him and asked condescendingly.

At this time, this guy named Liu Qun also came to his senses, and the heavily armed soldiers around him made him dare not act rashly.

"Yes, my name is Liu Qun, you are!"

"Don't meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yet!"

"Ah, grass people, meet His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Highness, have I done something?"

"Where did this come from!"

Seeing the opium thrown by Yu Zhiqian, Liu Qun's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, you said this fairy grass?" I bought it from Lu San, Your Highness, suck this thing......"

"You know Lu San!"

"Acquaintance!"

"Then wait here!"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he didn't speak but continued to wait silently, this Lu San seems to be still a big drug lord.

"Your Highness, I, what have I done?"

"Where did you come from so much nonsense, let you stay and you stay!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Soon, a few more teams had harvests, and caught a few people carrying the so-called fairy grass on their bodies, if it was just one or two, Yu Zhiqian didn't feel anything, but as the number of people continued to increase, Yu Zhiqian's face also became ugly, it seems that this thing has begun to circulate on a large scale in Datang, at least in Chang'an.

"Did you buy them all from Lu San?"

"No, there's a guy named Zhou Bo!"

"Arrest these two!"

"Yes!"

In Pingkangfang, everyone is trembling now, and all the Qinglou already know that Pingkangfang is surrounded by the prince's left and right guards, as if they are arresting someone.

However, because Yu Zhiqian had given an order in advance, no one dared to leak secrets, but only checked the waist card and belongings one by one.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what are you going to do!"

"Who knows! Didn't I hear that the prince took the initiative to ask for depose, why is he making a big move now! ”

"I heard that three more were caught!"

"Who are the arrests?"

"I don't know!"
