What Changrong was most afraid of was that Gongliang would ignore her, so she didn't say anything more and followed Cai He out.

After Changrong left, Ye Xuemei smiled at the prison knife and said, "Thank you for the prison knife for saving me!" ”

The prison knife glanced at her coldly and said, "No need to thank you, I'm just a gesture, besides, even if I don't make a move, she won't be able to beat you!" ”

That's true, Ye Xuemei already knew what she was going to do when Evergreen first raised her hand, so she took a step back, and Evergreen didn't touch the corner of her clothes for half a minute.

Ye Xuemei chuckled and said, "What did the prison knife find?" ”

The prisoner replied, "Yes! Found it! Phoenix Tower is a green building that was opened in Kaifeng City seven years ago. But what happened seven years ago is not found at all! This Kaifeng City is the capital of the Song Kingdom, and the people who can open the Qinglou here must have a very strong background relationship. But this old bustard Yuanniang of the Phoenix Building was just a woman in a small green building before, and no matter how you look at it, she doesn't have such a strong background. ”

Ye Xuemei stroked the mutton fat white jade bracelet on her wrist and said slowly: "What if this brothel is not a green building?" ”

The prisoner said puzzledly: "How come? The guests threw money to have fun, and the girls leaned on the building to laugh, how could it not be? ”

Ye Xuemei said with a smile: "In fact, in this intelligence agency, the most hidden ones are the inn and the green building. People come and go in the inn, and they talk about the world. There is also the same in Qinglou, and the people who can consume in Qinglou are not ordinary people, maybe they are some dignitaries. From these people, naturally you can also hear a lot of news! ”

"I didn't expect it to be an intelligence agency!" The prisoner's brow furrowed tightly, and he said, "Could it be the people of the country of Heshe?" ”

Ye Xuemei shook her head and said, "No! Those Hesher Assassins who stabbed the prince took great pains to draw our attention to the Phoenix Tower, so they definitely couldn't be from Heshe. ”

The prisoner knife was surprised, and hurriedly said: "In this way, there are many articles in it, I have to investigate it with the prisoner!" ”

Ye Xuemei looked at her and said, "There's no need for tonight, it's already lively enough, let's go another day!" ”

Yuan Niang wore a red brocade robe and walked down slowly from the upper floor, and the turtle slave who had been waiting at the bottom stepped forward and whispered a few times in her ear, and then she shook her fan and smiled at the people below: "What kind of wind is blowing today, and it actually blew Lord Mu here!" If you have anything to do, even if you are told, why bother to go all the way! As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine that had been prepared a long time ago in front of Mu Wanggong Liang Yanqing and handed it over.

Gongliang Yanqing looked at her and snorted coldly, and said, "No need! Tell me, what do you have to do with the Assassins? ”

Yuan Niang was slightly stunned, looked at Gongliang Yanqing, and said, "What does the prince mean?" How could the slave family have anything to do with the assassins when they open their doors to do business? The prince has wronged the slave family too much! ”

"If there is no connection with the Assassin, why did the Assassin say the words Phoenix Tower before the assassination?" After Gongliang Yanqing came out of Gongliang Yuzhi's house, he went to King Xin's mansion, and King Xin also recalled that he had indeed heard these three words spoken by the assassin when he was assassinated. Immediately afterwards, he went to the palaces of the other assassinated princes, and they all said that they mentioned the Phoenix Tower at this moment.

"How can this slave know? Lord Mingjian, the slave family really has nothing to do with the assassins! ”

Gongliang Yanqing looked at her and snorted coldly and said, "Whether it has anything to do with it or not, you will know after searching!" So saying, he ordered someone to go upstairs and search.

Yuan Niang stood in front of Gongliang Yanqing and said, "If the prince searches like this, how will the small shop open for business in the future?" ”

"Do you want to do business in the future? Whether you can find useful clues or not today, you don't want to continue doing business! However, Yuan Niang still kept stopping, and she also glanced at the turtle slave on the side, and the turtle slave hurriedly ran out.

Yuan Niang stopped Gongliang Yanqing, saying that if the search continued, there would be no way to do business, and the girls in her building also echoed. After Gongliang Yanqing's subordinates heard these words, they were in trouble and didn't know whether they should continue to search. Just when the two parties were at a stalemate, they suddenly heard someone say: "Jingzhao Mansion Yin has arrived!" ”

Immediately afterwards, he saw Wei Cheng in a scarlet official uniform arriving, Wei Cheng bowed down and said to King Mu: "Your Royal Highness King Mu will see your majesty!" ”

Gongliang Yanqing looked at him, frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Wei Cheng replied: "The lower officials heard that someone was making trouble in the Phoenix Tower, and thought that the gang of gangsters from before was here again, so he hurriedly rushed over to take a look, but he didn't expect it to be His Royal Highness King Mu!" ”

Yuan Niang saw that the rescuers were coming, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wei, His Royal Highness King Mu is going to search the Phoenix Tower of the slave family when he comes, and not only that, but he will also close the small shop and prevent the slave family from doing business." If it is not said that there is collusion between the slave family and this moment, Lord Wei wants to be the master of the slave family! ”

Wei Cheng looked at King Mu and said with a smile: "I think Your Highness must have misunderstood, the officials have also heard about the assassination of the princes, the reason why those assassins said the Phoenix Tower must be to confuse the public, and it will definitely not have anything to do with the Phoenix Tower." The Assassin did this to escape! ”

King Mu said angrily: "How is it possible? The city of Kaifeng is being hunted for Assassins inside and out, and the city gates have been closed, can the Assassins escape by doing this? ”

Wei Cheng replied: "The city gate cannot be closed forever, there will always be an open day, and when the city gate is opened, those assassins can escape smoothly." But the prince's gaze is still here. It's better for the prince to go back first, and the officials will come to handle this matter, and as soon as there is news, he will definitely return to the prince immediately! ”

King Mu thought for a while and said, "What you said also makes some sense! After saying these words, he followed Wei Cheng and planned to leave. Yuan Niang's heart breathed a sigh of relief, and finally sent him away.

However, just when Yuan Niang breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly a person came in, with a long face and beard, and the whole person revealed majesty everywhere, and after seeing Wei Cheng, he said: "Lord Wei, this news is really fast!" When did this turtle slave become your man? "The person who spoke was the eldest son of Emperor Ming, King Xin, Gongliang Wudang.

After King Shin finished saying this, the guards beside him had already pulled out the turtle slave.

And King Mu was also very annoyed after seeing this scene, and he said: "Okay, you Wei Cheng, you dare to deceive this king!" ”

Wei Cheng didn't expect King Xin to come here suddenly, King Xin was not as easy to fool as King Mu, he hurriedly denied it: "His Royal Highness King Xin must have recognized the wrong person, and the lower officials don't know this turtle slave." ”

The turtle slave also hurriedly said: "Yes, the villain has been in the Phoenix Tower all the time today, and he hasn't gone out for half a step." ”

King Xin hooked his lips and smiled, and did not pay attention to the words of the two of them, but said: "Okay, Lord Wei, whether the Phoenix Tower has anything to do with the assassins, this king will find out with the seventh brother, there is nothing for you to do here, you go back!" ”

Wei Chengzi didn't dare to disobey King Xin's words, so he had to go back.

After he left, Yuan Niang was even more anxious, although she really wanted Wei Cheng to stay, but she also knew that with King Xin and King Mu here, even if Wei Cheng stayed here, it would be useless.

These people were all gathered in the lobby of the Phoenix Tower, and no one noticed that at this time, a person jumped out of the window on the second floor, crossed a street, and soon came to Tianqin Pavilion.

After the man entered the Tianqin Pavilion, he said to a woman in Tsing Yi inside: "Master, it's not good, something happened to the Phoenix Tower!" And this woman is Yingyi.

After the man told Yingyi everything he saw and heard in the Phoenix Tower, he said, "I don't know what the master plans to do next?" ”

Yingyi was also very puzzled by what happened in the Phoenix Tower, she frowned and said: "You go to the Phoenix Tower to check the matter, and then go to the Wei Mansion, ask Lord Wei what happened, and then make plans after coming back and reporting to me!" ”

After nightfall, the man came back, and after telling Yingyi the ins and outs of the matter, Yingyi also felt that this matter was a little tricky, so she said to the man: "In the past few days, you have gone to the Phoenix Tower to watch it, and if there is anything to report to me in time." I'm going to go to the palace tomorrow to see what His Majesty has to say. ”

Early the next morning, Yingyi went to the palace. He has a waist card given by Gongliang Rongruo, and he can enter and exit the palace gate at will without notification. After Gongliang Rongruo got off the morning court, he hurriedly returned to Zhaoming Palace, and after listening to Yingyi explain the ins and outs of the matter, his brows also frowned deeply.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I know, all this is the work of the assassins of Heshe! They have only found out that the person is sent out by the Phoenix Tower, but they don't know who the commander behind the scenes is, so instead of going to great lengths to investigate, there may not be results, it is better to use the hands of others! In this Kaifeng City, except for me, only those princes are the most noble, and only after they are assassinated will they desperately find out who did it. ”

Yingyi was surprised: "What should I do then?" ”

Gong Liangrong Ruo didn't answer her directly, but asked again: "I ask you, if the people of the world know that the mastermind behind the Phoenix Tower is me, what do you think they will think?" ”

Yingyi didn't dare to say more, but said: "The slave doesn't know!" ”

Gongliang Rongruo said with a smile: "If the people of the world know, they will definitely spurn me, laugh at me, and distrust me." So, if I don't win the hearts of the people, then who will benefit the most? ”

Before Yingyi could answer, Gongliang Rongruo said again: "Then the one who benefits the most is King Xin." He was the eldest son of his father, and his father's favorite son, and if one day I stepped down, then he could replace him. ”

"But King Shin was also assassinated by the assassins!" Yingyi raised the question in her heart.

Gongliang Rongruo said: "Don't forget, he was only slightly injured. He has a master around him to protect him. ”

Yingyi was shocked and said, "Could it be that the night camp is in the hands of King Xin?" ”

Gongliang Rongruo said: "Very likely! ”

Yingyi asked, "Then what is Your Majesty going to do next?" ”

After Gongliang Rongruo pondered for a long time, he said, "Go find Mrs. Li!" It was only fitting that he would have stepped forward! Do not forget whose son took as a concubine. And King Xin and King Mu once worshipped under his hands, and they would give him a little thin noodles. It's inconvenient for me to go out in person, so you can go to the Li Mansion instead of me! ”

Yingyi bowed and replied, "Yes!" Your Majesty! ”

When she was about to leave, Gongliang Rongruo said again: "It's time to use that chess piece!" Tell him to watch out for Camp Night! ”

After King Xin and King Mu besieged the Phoenix Tower for a few days, there was still no news, but they still did not retreat. And in the past few days, more people have come to surround the Phoenix Tower. It turned out that several other assassinated princes came here one after another after hearing that the Phoenix Tower was related to the assassins, and they were bound to arrest the assassins.

Yuan Niang couldn't open the door for a few days to do business, and she thought about taking advantage of this kung fu to destroy those intelligence networks, but Gongliang Wudang didn't know what was going on, so he didn't let her go back to her room, but arranged another room for her to live in.

Yuan Niang was very anxious, and said to Gongliang Wudang: "Lord Wang, the slave family is really wronged, if it has anything to do with the assassin, the slave family will die and have no place to be buried!" ”

Gongliang Wudang glanced at her lightly and said, "Whether there is a relationship between you and the assassin, this king will find out!" ”

Seeing this situation, Yuan Niang said: "You see that you have been surrounding this place for a few days, and the rice and vegetables here are all going to be eaten, so you have to go out and buy some!" ”

Gongliang Wudang said: "What do you need, you make a list, and this king will send someone to buy it back!" ”

Yuan Niang wanted to take this opportunity to pass on the news, but King Xin completely dispelled her idea.

While the two were talking, Shin shifted his gaze to the white wall, and he stood up and knocked on the wall for a long time, trying to see if there was a secret compartment inside.

This frightened Yuan Niang, she was afraid that King Xin would find out the secret inside.

However, at this moment, someone came back and said: "Lord Qiqi, Mrs. Li is here, saying that she wants to see you!" ”

King Xin's hand knocking on the wall stopped at this time, and he frowned and said, "Mrs. Li? What is he doing here at this time? Then he said to King Mu: "Seventh brother, come with me to have a look!" ”

After King Xin left, Yuan Niang's heart relaxed, she originally wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the information of the dark grid, but with so many eyes staring here, she had no way to do it. In desperation, she had no choice but to follow King Shin and the others downstairs.

When he walked downstairs, there was already an old man with a white beard and a ruddy face sitting below, this person was Li Taifu Li Zheng.

After seeing Li Zheng, Gongliang Yanqing asked, "Why did Mrs. Li come here?" ”

Li Zheng replied with a smile: "I heard that the two princes have surrounded this Phoenix Tower for a few days, I don't know why?" Can you tell us about it? ”

Gongliang Yanqing told the ins and outs of the previous incident. After Li Zheng heard this, he replied: "This is the Qinglou, the land of fireworks, how can it have anything to do with the assassins?" Lord Mu must have made a mistake, right? ”

King Mu looked at him, his eyes widened, and he said, "Taifu Li, I know that your son took a Qing Qi here as a concubine not long ago, but you can't favor them just because of this!" ”

Li Zheng replied with a smile: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye!" That's why I'm here! I'll let you meet someone! ”

After he finished speaking, he saw a woman with a beautiful face walking towards this side, this woman was his son Na's concubine Guangjing a few days ago.

After seeing everyone, Guangjing blessed his body slightly, and said, "I've seen all the princes!" That's right, some time ago, there was a customer in the store, and his figure and accent didn't look like a Song countryman. But the visitor was a guest, so Yuan Niang asked the two sisters, Cuihong and Xiang'er, to serve the guests. Once after the Spring Festival, the guest died inexplicably. Yuan Niang didn't dare to report to the government, for fear that the eldest man would say that we were killing people, and for fear that it would affect the business of the store, and the customers would not come in the future. So it was quietly buried, and there was nothing special on the guest, except a wide scimitar, and he was buried with the guest. ”

Saying this, Yuan Niang also echoed: "Yes, I also remembered the previous incident when I said this." Cuihong and Xiang'er were also there at that time, and they could all testify. ”

At this time, two other women with clear eyebrows came up and said, "Yes, we were serving the guest at that time, and when we woke up, we found that he had lost his breath. Then we immediately informed Yuan Niang. ”

Yuan Niang said regretfully: "I knew that there would be so much trouble at that time, so I didn't bury him so hastily and caused this kind of trouble for no reason." ”

However, the king did not believe them, and said, "If you say, then the assassination of the Assassins of the country of Hesher was to avenge the warrior of the country of Heshe?" This is also too unbelievable. I don't believe it! Unless you can dig up the samurai's body, I believe you. ”

Guangjing hurriedly said: "The slave family still remembers the burial place of the corpse, so let the slave family take the prince there!" So saying, she was about to take the king of faith and depart with them.

At this time, King Xin said: "Girl, you are tired from the journey, so let's rest, just let Yuan Niang take us there!" If I can really find it, I will withdraw my troops and release the Phoenix Tower! ”

Guangjing didn't expect Gongliang Wudang to say this, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, Yuan Niang can't remember clearly, let's take the slave family to lead the way!" ”

Yuan Niang also echoed: "Yes, the slave family can't remember clearly, it's not good if you can't find it!" ”

"It's okay!" Gongliang Wudang replied: "Look for it slowly, there is time." As long as you can find it, you can solve the siege of the Phoenix Tower. ”

Yuan Niang had no choice but to follow Gongliang Wudang out.

Guangjing watched Yuan Niang leave, she was secretly anxious in her heart, that thing was made up by her, if Yuan Niang couldn't find it, wouldn't it be troublesome. She came to Mrs. Li's side and said to him, "Father-in-law, what do you think of this? ”

Li Zheng said casually: "Don't worry, let them go!" Also, don't be too anxious and don't let them see the flaws. Sit here quietly and wait, Yuan Niang will be fine. ”

Yuan Niang sat beside Gongliang Wudang in fear, and the wheels of the carriage gurgled forward on this empty street.

"Where are we going?" There was no trace of warmth in Gongliang Wudang's voice.

Yuan Niang twisted her handkerchief and said, "Wuyi Mountain." ”

After traveling for almost half an hour, the carriage finally arrived at Wuyi Mountain. This Wuyi Mountain is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a mound that is not very large. It's not frequented by people, so it's very eerie.

After a few people got out of the carriage, King Shin asked, "Where?" ”

Yuan Niang looked at this large area, pointed to a random place, and said, "It's there!" ”

Gongliang Wudang ordered people to dig there, but after digging very deep, there was still no body to be found. Seeing this, Gongliang Yanqing was angry, and he asked again, "Where is it?" ”

Yuan Niang said bitterly: "I just said that the slave family can't remember clearly, Guangjing said that he wanted to come, but the two princes didn't let him come." ”

Gongliang Wudang continued: "This king said that there is no hurry, you can find it slowly!" ”

Yuan Niang had no choice but to say another place and let those people excavate.

Gongliang Yanqing looked at Gongliang Wudang and said, "Big brother, why don't you let Guangjing come?" This Yuan Niang doesn't know where it is! ”

Gongliang Wudang looked at Gongliang Yanqing and said, "Seventh brother, can you believe their words?" ”

After Gongliang Yanqing was slightly stunned, he said, "Is the eldest brother saying that Mrs. Li is lying?" But it shouldn't! Mrs. Li is such a learned person, and he has taught you and me. Even if it's for the sake of Guangjing, he can't do it! Hearing that because of his son Na Guangjing's concubine, he was extremely opposed to it, and he almost became too angry. ”

Gongliang Wudang frowned and looked at Gongliang Yanqing and said, "I don't know if Mrs. Li lied to us, but I know that Guangjing must be lying." Why did we surround the Phoenix Tower for a few days, but we didn't see them mention half a word about this corpse, and as soon as Guangjing came, they all remembered the matter of the warrior of the Heshe Kingdom? I'm going to have to let them show their fox tails themselves! ”

After talking to Gongliang Wudang, Gongliang Yanqing came to Yuan Niang and asked sharply, "How is it?" Did you find it? ”

Yuan Niang's face was already extremely flustered, and she said: "It's been too long, and the slave family can't remember it!" ”

"Is it really not clear or is there no such thing at all?"

Although Yuan Niang knew that she couldn't hide it, she still denied it: "It's really true!" Not lying! ”

Gongliang Wudang came to Yuan Niang at this time and said: "This king will give you one last chance, if you don't have it this time, then this king will let the Phoenix Tower disappear in Kaifeng City!" ”

Yuan Niang was already in a panic, and in desperation, she pointed to a place at random and said, "This is it!" ”

At the signal of Gongliang Wudang, several guards came to dig in the place pointed by Yuan Niang, and after digging a deep hole, the guards' movements slowed down, obviously there was something inside. After digging up another cup of tea, a white bone was finally dug up inside. And next to the white bone, there happened to be a scimitar.
