Yang Ning was stunned, and at this time, a person stepped forward from behind, saw Yang Ning, was taken aback, and said happily: "Lord Shizi!" Quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "Lord Shizi, you are back, everyone has been looking for you." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Yang Ning glanced at it, it was one of the guards who followed him down from the capital, those officers and soldiers saw this, glanced at each other, and then they all knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "Little one to meet the prince!" ”

Yang Ning raised his hand and said, "Get up." Then he asked, "What's going on here?" ”

The entourage got up and said: "Back to the prince, we have controlled the old mansion, and all the people have been arrested, just waiting to find the prince before leaving." ”

Yang Ning raised his eyebrows and asked, "You have already caught those guys?" By the way, can the guy pretending to be Qi Cheng be caught? ”

"Don't worry, the prince has been caught." The entourage said excitedly: "Everyone is still in a hurry, Mao Taishou is also here, and the little one will go to report." ”

Yang Ning shook his head and said, "No need, I'll go over by myself." Shake the reins of the horse, go straight to the old house, to the old house, sure to see a soldier every few steps around, not to mention hundreds of people, there are entourages in front of the door to see Yang Ning, surprised, Yang Ning into the house, only to see the hall brightly lit, several people are together to discuss something, heard footsteps, a few people turned their heads, one person said happily: "Shiziye, you ..... You're back! "It's Qi Feng who has already rushed forward.

When the others heard this, they greeted them one after another, and a middle-aged man in an official robe arched his hand and said: "Xiaguan Jiangling is too protective of Mao Wenshou, and he has seen the son!" ”

Although Yang Ning is the son of Jinyi, he is not an official after all, and he has not yet inherited the title.

Yang Ning bowed his hand and saluted: "Mao is too guarded, it's hard work." ”

"It's good that the son of the world is safe and sound." Mao Wenshou let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "We are discussing posting notices and spending a lot of money to find the prince, but in this way, the news that the prince is in Jiangling is exposed, I am afraid that it will backfire and bring trouble to the prince, so we are discussing." ”

"Please be seated." Yang Ning raised his hand and said, the other people were also officials of the generals, and they saluted Yang Ning one after another, Yang Ning motioned for everyone to sit down, and asked Qi Feng: "Qi Feng, Lord Mao, ...... are they?" ”

Qi Feng immediately explained: "Shizi, I went to Jingzhou City and found the old manager Qi Hong, who was only taking care of the old manager at that time. Shaking his head, he said, "It's not taking care, it's guarding." ”

"Guards?"

"Exactly, the old manager did not have a stroke, but was poisoned, lying on the bed and unable to move, he couldn't speak, he was drugged and his voice was dumb." Qi Feng sneered: "We were almost deceived at the beginning, but when I looked at the boss, the boss didn't look right,"

"Wrong eyes?"

Qi Feng said with a smile: "Jiang is old and spicy, although the boss can't move, he reminds me with his eyes that there is fraud in it." The prince also knows that I am very shrewd, and when I saw the old manager's eyes, I understood it, and immediately made a decision, and caught the guy who was guarding the old manager on the spot, that guy was a soft egg, and once tortured, he recruited everything. He confessed that the boss was not a stroke, but he had no antidote. After a pause, "Since the old manager is not a stroke, then there must be something strange in it, I discussed with Mao Taishou, secretly mobilized soldiers and horses, and when the brothers sent to Jiangxia came back, I learned that Qi Cheng disappeared many years ago and his whereabouts are unknown, so there must be something wrong with Qi Cheng in the old mansion." ”

Yang Ning nodded and said, "If Qi Cheng in the old mansion is real, Jiang Xia must know that Qi Cheng is here, and there will be no disappearance." ”

Qi Feng nodded and said: "So Mao Taishou made preparations here, we took people to the old mansion, but in order to be sure, I went to the old mansion first, and learned that the prince and the third lady disappeared at the same time, so I knew that there were ghosts among them, and contacted Mao Taishou, and three days ago, I had already sent troops to surround the old mansion at night and caught the fake Qi Cheng. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "I'm worried that those people in the old house are also related, so regardless of men, women, and children, they are all imprisoned for the time being." ”

"Those people in the old mansion don't know the truth of the matter, they are blinded and controlled by Qi Cheng's gang." Yang Ning said: "The third lady is also very safe, don't worry." ”

"That's good, that's good." Mao Wenshou relieved his heart, "Knowing that the prince and the third lady were missing, we sent people to search everywhere, interrogated from the mouth of the fake Qi Cheng, and learned that the prince may have gone to Xiashan, so we sent people to look for them in Xiashan, and there are still many people in the mountains." ”

Yang Ning arched his hand and said, "I have to work for everyone." He added: "Can other confessions be interrogated from Qi Cheng's mouth?" ”

Mao Wenshou and Qi Feng glanced at each other before saying: "The lower official let people be tortured, he only said that everything was ordered by the judge, and he also said what nonsense about immortality." ”

"Can he mention the Nine Shadows Jizo?" Yang Ning frowned and asked.

"Nine Secluded Hides?" Mao Wenshou was stunned, shook his head and said: "I didn't talk about this, Shizi, what is this Nine Secluded Hidden Land?" ”

"Patience is as immovable as the earth, and meditation is as deep as a secret, have you ever heard of this?"

Mao Wenshou nodded and said, "This is the Jizo King Bodhisattva." Legend has it that King Jizo Bodhisattva was instructed by Shakyamuni to stay in the world without Buddha after Shakyamuni's extinction and before the birth of Maitreya Buddha, and to educate sentient beings to free themselves from the realms of hell, evil spirits, animals, asuras, humans, and heavens, and he swore that hell was not empty and that he would not become a Buddha. ”

"Mao Taishou is really full of economy." Yang Ning exclaimed.

Mao Wenshou hurriedly smiled: "Don't dare, it's just that the lower officials occasionally read some Buddhist scriptures, so they know a little." As far as I know, there are still Jizo's six envoys under .......! He seemed to feel that he was a little too knowledgeable, waved his hand and smiled: "Let the prince laugh." ”

Yang Ning Zhengse said: "Mao Taishou, we don't know about this, and I do want to know more about it, what do you say about the six envoys of Jizo?" ”

"Hui Shizi, the six envoys of Jizo, is the envoy who assists the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo in transforming the six realms." Mao Wenshou explained: "One is the flame messenger. Degree hell, one is the treasure boy, the evil ghost, and the powerful messenger to turn into a beast, the great mercy of the heavenly maiden to transform into a Shura, the treasure of the heavenly girl to transform into humanity, and finally the angel to take the angel, to transform the way of heaven, these six messengers are the six envoys of the earth. ”

Yang Ning bowed his head slightly and said, "I see." He added: "The fake Qi Cheng should indeed obey Zhao Yuan's orders, and this Zhao Yuan is the judge that the fake Qi Cheng said." ”

Qi Feng hurriedly asked, "The prince saw Zhao Yuan?" ”

"He's dead, and I've killed him with my own hands." Yang Ning said lightly: "He claims to be under the orders of the Nine Secluded Dizang, but this Jizo King Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva worshiped by the world, and the Nine Secluded Dizang he said can only be people in the world." He asked, "Qi Feng, have you heard of any Jianghu organizations related to this?" ”

Qi Feng thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard that there is such a person as the Nine Secluded Hidden Places on the rivers and lakes. Leaning forward, he whispered, "Shizi, there is another big thing, you are afraid that you don't know." ”

"Big deal?" Yang Ning asked, "What's the big deal?" ”

Qi Feng looked at Mao Wenshou and said, "Master Mao, let's talk about it." ”

Mao Wenshou bowed slightly, his expression became solemn, and he raised his hand to the other officials and said, "You all go down first." Everyone got up and said goodbye to Yang Ning, and after everyone retreated, Mao Wenshou asked in a low voice: "Does the prince know that the saint died?" ”

"Dead?" Yang Ning didn't react for a while, and asked, "What kind of death?" The Holy One died? He suddenly came to his senses and said in a lost voice: "You mean that the emperor is dead?" ”

Mao Wenshou and Qi Feng both changed color slightly, Yang Ning also knew that he was speechless, Mao Wenshou had already raised his hand to signal Yang Ning to make a lower voice, and even got up and walked to the door to look outside, then came back and said in a low voice: "Shizi, Xia Guan also just received the news early yesterday morning that the Holy Lord has died." ”

Yang Ning's mind was spinning.

The Marquis of Jinyi passed away, there was no action in the palace, and even on the day of the funeral of the Marquis of Jinyi, he hurriedly sent someone to announce the decree in the middle of the road, and the Hou Mansion originally hoped that the palace could have a reward according to the custom, so that the Hou Mansion could tide over the difficulties, after all, the pillars of the empire, the Marquis of Jinyi was loyal to the country, and made countless meritorious contributions, and the emperor could never be indifferent.

But in fact, even to this day, there is not a single copper coin given by the emperor.

Yang Ning sometimes thinks that if the emperor is really stingy like this, it can be said that he is extremely stupid, and the Marquis of Jinyi has few people to make contributions to Da Chu, and even such a person does not give mercy to the death, how can he get the hearts of civil and military officials and the people of the world, even if there is great difficulty, he must also put on a posture.

Not to mention that the emperor did not reward and compensate, and even during the funeral, the palace did not send anyone to pay tribute, which is really too abnormal.

The defense of Beijing was transferred, and the Royal Yulin Battalion, which was responsible for guarding the imperial city, was transferred out of the capital, and the Black Knife Battalion was entered the city to change the defense, in addition to the martial law in the capital, everything indicated that there was something wrong in the capital.

Although Yang Ning also felt that something happened in the capital, he never thought that it was because of the emperor's death.

Knowing this news at this moment, all the doubts suddenly became clear, and he knew in his heart that the emperor was only afraid that when the Black Knife Battalion entered Beijing, he might be on the verge of death, and even at that time, he had already died, and the mobilization of defense was to prevent someone in the capital from taking advantage of the emperor's death to plot wrong.

Even the emperor in the palace is dead, how can he have the heart to take care of the funeral of the Marquis of Jinyi.

In a short period of time, the imperial army pillar Liang Jinyi Marquis died, and the emperor of the empire died almost at the same time, a monarch and a general passed away one after another, such a blow is simply fatal to the Great Chu Empire, and the next Chu State must be indispensable for a storm, Yang Ning even suspects that the current capital is only afraid that it has fallen into chaos.

"The Holy Elder Monarch is in the prime of life and collapsed ......!" Mao Wenshou's eyes were red, and he sighed: "Where will I go, it's really worrying." ”
