"The men are incompetent, and they have not caught the escaped little guy." A commanding man stood in front of Zhao Kai and reported to Zhao Kaiyu.

"That's it!" Zhao Kai had just returned from Genyue in vain, and said helplessly, "Investigate diligently, once you know the news of that person, you don't need to report it to me, just arrest it directly." ”

"Although I didn't hold it, I also got a thing," the commander took out a piece of cloth and handed it to Zhao Kai and said.

"What is this cloth for?" Zhao Kai is not interested.

"This strip of cloth is different from the strip of cloth. Let's talk about this piece," said the commanding envoy, holding up the strip of cloth in his hand, "The villain took the strip of cloth to the cloth shop in the market and asked, and this strip of cloth is the linen cloth of the Liao people." ”

Zhao Kai felt strange and asked, "How can you determine that it is a Liao linen?" ”

The commander explained, "The Liao linen cloth is finely woven, and the people in the cloth shop say that there are 90 warp threads on every inch of the Liao linen, far more than other linen. In addition, the Liao people salt and rice are expensive, so when rinsing hemp, salt water is used, which is different from the linen cloth I rinse with rice washing water. ”

"I see!" Zhao Kai asked; "That is to say, the person who fled is a Liao?"

"That's what happens in ten. In the past, although my Great Song Dynasty also bought back linen cloth from the Liao people, it was only used as a military uniform for the garrison on Hebei Road, but now the border city has stopped early, if it is in Xiongzhou Mozhou and other places, it may be bought privately, but where can I buy Liao linen cloth in this Bianjing City? The commander said confidently.

Zhao Kai's eyes lit up, and he said, "At this time, in Bianjing City, there are only Liao people who can have linen clothes and clothes, and only the Liao people have the mission." Hehe, I can't think of it! Give me this cloth, and go down! ”

When the commander heard this, he hurriedly handed this precious piece of cloth to Zhao Kai, completed his mission, and went down to rest.

Zhao Kai looked at the cloth in his hand, didn't care about the difficulty, stood up again, and entered the palace.

Since it is a Liao thing, whatever you say, you have to urge your father to call that Zhou Nan to confront him. If you can really sit on Zhou Nan's secret entry into the palace last night and alarm the guards, you don't have to do it yourself, I'm afraid that my father won't be able to tolerate this surnamed Zhou.

In the past, the Liao State was strong, or they did not dare to punish their envoys, but now a small Yanjing, under the coercion of the Jin people, also had to take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty and kill one of their envoys, which is nothing more than that.

"Father, please make an early decision! Passing the Liao people's horses, with this cloth, it is enough to be convicted! A fan, breaking into the back garden of the forbidden palace at night, hanged according to the law! In the outer hall of the Funing Palace, Zhao Kai said loudly.

There is nothing to do today, Zhao Ji originally wanted to raise his spirit and go out of the palace to play at night, but who knew that someone secretly entered the palace last night, and the person who brought people into the palace was still the Taoist who he was very favored. Now that Lin Lingsu has left overnight, there is still no one in the palace, which is really uneasy.

Now listening to Zhao Kai analyze all the things, I am also shocked. This week, Nan's archery skills are already superb, and with the help of his strange arrows, it is not at all something that flesh and blood can resist. If you break into the palace, you will give yourself an arrow from afar, but it is difficult to prevent ghosts!

It's just that Zhou Nan is the concubine of the Liao State, and he is the commander of the Wansheng Army, if he sends someone over to punish Zhou Nan, I am afraid that the Liao people in the border pass will provoke!

Seeing that Zhao Ji was silent, Zhao Kai hurriedly said, "There is no need to tear your face now, Erchen has a plan, you should know if the person who entered the palace last night is that Zhou Nan." ”

As soon as he heard that there was a way to tear his face, Zhao Ji hurriedly asked, "What is the way?" ”

Zhao Kai said firmly, "According to Erchen's conclusion, last night the guards of the front division of the palace searched for no thieves overnight, the four doors of the palace were closed, and this morning Erchen searched for the place where he died in the palace, and all the people who left the palace were searched, and no suspicious people left the palace." The one who broke into the palace must still be hiding in the palace. You only need to send someone to pass Zhou Nan into the palace to meet your father, if the surname Zhou can come in time, it will be fine; If the person surnamed Zhou can't come in time, Erchen will immediately bring people to surround Du Tingyi, and interrogate him in detail, which will definitely make the thief come to light! ”

Zhao Ji thought about it and said happily, "This plan is very good!" Not only was he able to find out the truth, but he also saved face, and he quietly settled the matter. Third brother, I'll leave this matter to you. You don't have to make an edict, you just send someone to the Duting Station, and announce that Zhou Nansi is coming to this palace...... You don't need this temple, but go to the hall of the arch and see you! Zhao Ji wanted to be lazy, but after thinking about it, this was his own dormitory, and before he found out, he still couldn't let this person know his dormitory, so he changed his mind and asked Zhou Nan to wait in the vertical arch hall.

"Erchen, let's do it!" Zhao Kai turned around and walked out of the hall. Zhou Nan was trapped in the palace, Mao De wanted to send Zhou Nan out of the palace several times, but it was not done, and finally he saw Mao De in the painting room east of the Calyx Green Hall, Mao De even wanted to ask for a token from his father to get out of the palace, but he was sent by himself to send Mao De and the carriage she was riding out of the palace, hahaha, this time, one is burning in the palace, one is outside the palace, he has no choice but to send someone to pass on the surname Zhou, if the surname Zhou does not come out to meet, he will not return to the palace to report to his father, Immediately, let the people of the Imperial City Division surround Du Tingyi to see how the surnamed Zhou would justify.

That's right! There is also his entourage surnamed Zhou, who must have escaped in the Shangqing Palace, is the entourage surnamed Zhou, and he is wearing the linen clothes of the Liao people.

Thinking about it, Zhao Kai felt more and more that he had guessed correctly that Mao De had grown up in the deep palace since he was a child, and he had never had contact with outsiders, but he sneaked out of the palace and ran to Yanjing City - that Yanjing City is the territory of the surname Zhou, and the two naturally hooked up together in Yanjing City!

That Lin Lingsu fled overnight, naturally because the palace guards searched for the surname Zhou, the governor was big, and he was afraid of his father's punishment, so he fled overnight, and said in a panic that he was returning to the mountain to practice, and what did he say about sealing all the treasures and goods given by his father - in the past seven or eight years, could it be that his father only gave him so few things? Which of those princes and ministers has not been rewarded? Isn't this Lin Lingsu fleeing with the goods that can't be seen on the surface?

No wonder that in the Zichen Palace that day, Mao De didn't even look at Cai Ying, it turned out that Mao De had already had an adulterous affair with someone, so he naturally didn't take Cai Yan in his eyes. Except for Cai You, the Cai family is lukewarm to themselves on weekdays, this time Maode's adultery is exposed, what face does the Cai family have to live in Bianjing?

If he told Cai Yan about this early, then Cai Yan would naturally be grateful to himself in order to save face, and it would also be a great help for him to become a treasure in the future.

This one thing brought Zhao Kai these benefits, and for a while, Zhao Kai's heart was full of joy, and he took people straight to Dutingyi.
