Jiang Lian is most proud of the fact that as long as he says a word, no matter how high and powerful you are, and no matter what miracles you have made to protect and kill tens of thousands of enemies, your result will be the same, either you will be arrested or killed.

But blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and being proud will inevitably give rise to troubles, and there must be a lot of popularity, and Jiang Jian also has a deep understanding of the truth. Among all the troubles, the most worrying thing for Jiang Jian is how to deal with the relationship with the prince. In the past two years, the prince has frequently secretly spoken through various means, hinting that Jiang Jian is waiting for dispatch, which makes Jiang Jian very embarrassed. According to the rules, he, the commander, can only obey the orders of the emperor alone, and no one else, including the crown prince, can command him, but if he really doesn't listen to the prince's greeting now, the prince will ascend the throne in the future, will he become a prisoner because he doesn't listen to the greeting at this time, and the tragic situation of Mao Xiang's death is still deeply engraved in his mind.

Therefore, Jiang Lian's attitude towards the prince's side has always been twisted and pinched to refuse and welcome, and he wants to refuse but dare not understand the refusal, don't refuse, in case the emperor knows that he is secretly hooking up with the prince, and he can't afford to be guilty, so the scenery is like Jiang Lian, and every time he encounters the prince's problems, he always has a headache.

But providence often does not follow people's wishes, what is afraid of what will come, two days ago the Huizhou Hall was burned case, Ying Tianfu covered Xuanxuan to check a slip of thirteen moves, in the end only found out some irrelevant things, did not find out why it came at all, but the people of Jinyi Wei found out that someone heard the sound of fighting near the Huizhou Hall that night, so Jiang Jian expected that this case must not be as simple as Ying Tianfu's gang of wastes said, secretly sent more people to investigate, but after checking and checking, two new pieces of evidence appeared, made Jiang Jian begin to regret intervening in this case, because these two pieces of evidence point to the prince, could it be that the prince instructed someone to do it?

Should the Huizhou guild hall case continue to be investigated? If the crown prince's handle is really found out, then the emperor ordered an investigation to the end, and no one is sure what the consequences will be. So Jiang Jian decided to suppress the case first and secretly test the prince. let the prince know that he had his secret, but let him go. In this way, in case the prince is wrecked in the future, he can preemptively come up with evidence to invite credit, and he can also beat the water dog. If the prince is okay and he has a merit in hiding secrets, it is equivalent to selling the prince a big favor, and the prince will naturally be grateful to him when he ascends the throne in the future.

With this idea in mind, Jiang Jian decided to meet the prince first, of course, in secret.

After dark, Jiang Jian changed into civilian clothes and secretly set off with his cronies, Liu Yixian, the commander of Jinyiwei.

There was no one on the street, and no one paid attention to the two pedestrians who hurried home, and under the cover of night, the two came to the vicinity of the prince's mansion smoothly. When there were still two hundred steps away from the Prince's Mansion, two figures flashed out of nowhere, and they came to Jiang Lian quickly, without even saying a word, he raised his knife and slashed, Jiang Lian was shocked into a cold sweat, but he reacted quickly and shouted: "You are on top," turned around and ran, while not forgetting to observe the surroundings, glanced at the surrounding situation, he suddenly changed direction without hesitation, and turned around and ran towards the Prince's Mansion, at the same time, three black-clothed people appeared behind Jiang Lian, these three people were originally ambushed on Jiang Lian's retreat route, was going to give Jiang Jian a fatal blow, but he didn't expect Jiang Jian to unexpectedly turn around and run towards the prince's mansion, and the three of them saw that this was wrong, and immediately chased after Jiang Lian. Seeing this, the other two men in black also chased after each other.

Jiang Jian couldn't care about hiding his whereabouts at this time, he let go of his voice and shouted desperately: "Help, help!" ”

Although it was dark, the soldiers in front of the prince's mansion heard someone shouting for help, and immediately became alert, and then saw someone running to this side, and immediately picked up their weapons to meet Jiang Lian, several people in black saw the officers and soldiers coming to the rescue, hesitated, four of them stopped, and then retreated, but one of them refused to give up, raised his hand is a dart, this dart is amazing, straight to Jiang Lian's heart, Jiang Lian heard the wind behind the sound is not right, and did not look back, so he rolled forward, the dart crossed Jiang Lian's shoulder and shot forward to a guard, The guard screamed and fell to the ground, Jiang Jian endured the sharp pain in his shoulder and rolled forward a few times, and then rolled in front of the guard who ran over, he couldn't care about face, and shouted loudly: "There are assassins, catch assassins, someone wants to kill me." He turned over and got up and ran towards the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

At this time, several black-clothed people had disappeared into the night, and more than a dozen guards did not dare to chase away, and saw Liu Yixian, who was curled up on the ground and shivering, and the guards could not say anything, and set up Liu Yiyi and walked back.

Jiang Lian's shouting not only alarmed the guards, but also alarmed hundreds of people in the front yard of the Prince's Mansion, at this time the small door had been opened, and dozens of people had gathered in the door, Jiang Lian did not dare to enter the courtyard, leaned on the gate, looked ahead in horror, and watched the night vigilantly.

At this time, a middle-aged man in the small door stepped out, and it seemed that this person was in charge, "In front of the Prince's Mansion, who is shouting?" Seeing a person leaning on the door, he hurriedly asked, "Huh! Who are you? ”

Jiang Jian recognized this person, this person was the prince's mansion Chunguan surnamed Wang Mingben, seeing Wang Ben, Jiang Jian was like seeing a savior, he didn't care about any officialdom etiquette, and hugged Wang Ben's arms tightly with both hands: "Lord Wang, I'm Jiang Lian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Jiang Lian, someone wants to kill me!" ”

Seeing Jiang Jian so embarrassed, Wang Ben looked very surprised, "What's the matter?" Wang Ben broke free of Jiang Jian and tidied up his clothes: "Master Jiang, why are you here?" ”

Jiang Jian looked back at the road in horror, and saw the group of guards and Liu Yixian who was carried back, and said with palpitations: "Lord Wang, let's go into the mansion and talk." ”

Wang Ben also felt that his speech here was a bit ostentatious, and pulled Jiang Jian to the mansion, but Jiang Jian suddenly grabbed Wang Ben and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, today's events must not be spread outside, and everyone present must be tight-lipped." ”

Wang Ben understood, turned to the guards behind him and ordered: "After you get off duty, each of you will go to the account room to get a red envelope, no one is allowed to say anything about tonight, who dares to leak a word with a rotten tongue, be careful of your guys who eat." ”

Those guards have been on errands in Beijing for a long time, so they naturally know that the stakes are very high, and they understand that they can't talk nonsense, not to mention that the adults also sent a reward to gag their mouths, and at this moment they all showed a smile on their faces, and the leader of them stood up and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, don't worry, the brothers have been waiting in front of the door for a long time, and they naturally know the truth that they can only eat if they clench their teeth. ”

As soon as he entered the prince's mansion, Wang Ben said sharply to the onlookers in the courtyard: "Let's all disperse, go back separately, it's still the same sentence, tonight's matter, whoever says it, not only can't get along with me, but also can't get along with the prince, you weigh it yourself." ”

Saying that, Wang Ben bowed to Jiang Jian and smiled: "Commander Jiang, let's please." ”

Jiang Jian looked around vigilantly again, and seeing that the people on all sides had dispersed, he pulled Wang Ben's sleeve again, pointed at Liu Yixian vaguely, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, please send someone to watch him and don't let him see anyone." ”

Wang Ben was puzzled, "What does Commander Jiang mean?" Isn't he your subordinate? ”

The corners of Jiang Lian's mouth twitched slightly, looked at Liu Yixian, gritted his teeth and said: "It's my subordinates, but the person who betrayed me is probably also him." ”

Wang Ben was shocked: "What do you mean?" Could it be that he has something to do with the killer just now? ”

Jiang Jian took Wang Ben's hand: "Lord Wang, please find a hidden place, I will explain slowly." ”

Wang Ben really found a secret place, it is an independent courtyard next to the garden of the prince's mansion, the small courtyard has only one entry, and there are only two main rooms, there is no wing, there is only an old servant in the courtyard is pruning flowers and trees, Wang Ben entered the courtyard, a gesture, the old servant turned around and went out of the courtyard, and closed the door with his hand.

"Where is this?" Jiang Jian looked around, this was indeed a very secluded courtyard.

Wang Ben said with a smile: "Commander Jiang doesn't know, this is the place where the prince reads and rests on weekdays, don't worry, no one in the palace will come in, that old servant is also mute, can't read, and can't spread anything." ”

Jiang Jian was shocked, there was such a secret place in the prince's mansion, and his subordinates didn't find out, it seems that the prince studies confidential matters on weekdays, and he is also here, and his trip today is not in vain.

Wang Benxiao looked at Jiang Lian, without saying a word, Jiang Lian's heart was furious, in order to alleviate this embarrassment, Jiang Lian took the initiative to speak: "My lord must be strange, why do you let you arrest my subordinates as soon as I enter the mansion, because I came to the prince's mansion today, there are less than five people who know, and there are only three who have time to leak secrets, among these three people, he is the most suspicious, not to mention the assassin's assassination, I was injured, he was unscathed, so I conclude that this person is undoubtedly the one who betrayed me." ”

Wang Ben smiled implicitly: "I see, can Master Jiang tell me why you are here today?" ”

Jiang Jian hesitated for a moment, rolled his eyes twice, smiled mysteriously, and said slowly: "I recently learned that someone intends to be unfavorable to the prince, so I came here today. ”

Wang Ben's eyes narrowed, and he asked eagerly, "Who wants to be unfavorable to the crown prince?" ”

Seeing Wang Ben's fierce reaction, Jiang Jian had the bottom in his heart, and this time he was silent, and deliberately betrayed Guan Zi and said, "Don't adults know?" ”

Wang Ben sneered: "In addition to studying, the prince concentrates on handling the government affairs in his hands on weekdays, and does not pay attention to others. ”

Jiang Jian also sneered: "I thought that adults could be honest with each other, but I didn't expect that in the next piece of sincerity, in exchange for the rejection of adults, since this is the case, there is nothing to say in Xia, and I will say goodbye." As he spoke, he really walked in the direction of the courtyard gate.

Wang Ben hesitated for a moment, watched Jiang Jian walk to the gate of the courtyard, Wang Ben's face showed a trace of an intriguing smile, and then randomly restrained his smile, replaced it with an eager look, and shouted: "Slow, why should Commander Jiang be like this, I rarely have contact with Commander Jiang on weekdays, and I don't know the true meaning of my adult's trip, so I don't dare to speak rashly, please Haihan." ”
