For Zhan Qian, Xiao Shaoyu was the biggest VIP he could receive in Xianlin City.

Although Zhan Qian is the prince's person, although the prince has never been willing to see Xiao Shaoyu, the current Xiao Shaoyu is not only the sixth prince, but also the chief helm of the Shenji Battalion. This position is much stronger than an empty shell prince, comparable to the prince of the general, and directly under the king of Han, with a lot of information and secrets in his hands, and the power of life and death. This is a right that even the crown prince never has.

The so-called one time, that time. At this time, if you still want to put Xiao Shaoyu to death, it is too unwise. What's more, for so many years, the prince not only failed to get rid of Xiao Shaoyu, but also let him take the position of the head of the Shenji Battalion, it can't be said that the prince can't do it, but Xiao Shaoyu is really not simple. If you continue to fight with Xiao Shaoyu, you will definitely lose your troops.

Zhan Qian is not a fool, he can see through this relationship, so in front of Xiao Shaoyu, he is extremely respectful.

However, since the time of King Xiaoyao, Xiao Shaoyu has hated the prince to the core!

Why did Huo Xiao ask him if he wanted to kill the prince? Because he knew Xiao Shaoyu, because he knew what was going to happen next, there were some things that could not be avoided.

At the moment, Zhan Qian can be said to have a grand welcome to Xiao Shaoyu, and he has put a lot of thought into making such an arrangement in an hour.

Therefore, after going upstairs and seeing a table full of delicacies, Xiao Shaoyu couldn't help but boast: "Mrs. Zun is so powerful, she can make so many delicious dishes in one hour." You don't have to taste it, just by looking at the dishes, you can know that these are extraordinary.

Zhan Qian said: "Your Highness has a good reputation, tonight, we must have a good drink." ”

The table could seat at least twenty people, but now only three people can be seated. The wine is full, just eat and drink.

Zhan Qian is the master, so naturally he has to speak first.

Just as he was about to get up and raise his glass, Xiao Shaoyu suddenly said: "General Zhan, Madame has worked hard to make this table of dishes, if she doesn't come, we can't move these chopsticks!"

At this time, Zhan Qian quickly shouted: "Didn't you hear what His Highness said? ”

"Yes!"

Then, Zhan Qian said: "Your Highness, women always have to dress up when they go out, or let's eat first!"

"Good!!"

Next, the dishes are eaten, the wine is made, the pipa is played, the sound of the piano is accompanied, the bamboo flute is harmonious, and the beauties dance.

Whether it is a musician or a dancer, it is no worse than in the palace, even if the real purpose of Xiao Shaoyu and Huo Xiao's trip is not to eat and drink, but at this time, there is also a bright smile on his face.

The so-called local singing and dancing should be like this.

After two teas, Song Zijun came. He is also dressed in white, but he doesn't want to be as plain and elegant as during the day, and he is a little fancy. A beauty like her, no matter what she wears, can't hide that temperament.

Song Zijun saluted and said, "The concubine is late, please Your Highness, don't blame Huo Zhutou." ”

Xiao Shaoyu said with a smile: "Madame is polite, this table has made Madame tired." ”

Song Zijun said: "It is an honor for a concubine to be able to cook for His Royal Highness. ”

Xiao Shaoyu said: "I really envy General Zhan for having such a virtuous wife. But then again, on the wine table, if you are late, three glasses is not missing. ”

Song Zijun said: "This is nature. ”

Immediately, the three cups were full, Song Zijun was not in a hurry, one cup after another, which seemed gentle, but in fact contained the pride of a man.

After the third cup, Xiao Shaoyu and Huo Xiao applauded at the same time.

Then, the four of them ate and drank, you respect me, I respect you, it looks like it's not lively.

I don't know what's going on, Huo Xiao was slightly drunk, and suddenly sighed: "This wine is really enjoyable, during this time, that Yun Shengwu and that butterfly assassin made trouble for me, and I couldn't sleep a whole night." When I sleep, it's these two things. I'm going crazy. ”

At this time, Xiao Shaoyu glanced at him and said, "I said what's the matter with you, when you're so happy, what are you doing with this stubble?"

Huo Xiao patted his head and said, "Look at my brain! But don't really say it, the Shenji Battalion recently discovered an interesting thing, which seems to be related to the General's Mansion, I don't know if the General wants to hear about it." ”

Zhan Qian smiled lightly: "Interesting things? I've never heard of anything interesting in the Shenji Camp. ”

Huo Xiao smiled: "That's because the general doesn't understand us. I received a message yesterday that Ling Lang is still alive and that someone has seen him with their own eyes. ”

At this point, the whole building was shocked. Everyone's faces were full of surprise.

Then, Zhan Qian smiled and said, "This is really an interesting thing. His smile was natural.

At this time, Xiao Shaoyu said: "Huo Zhutou, this matter is not a joke! The news obtained by the Shenji Battalion must be accurate, and such groundless rumors must be stifled from the source." ”

Huo Xiao hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Yes! Your Highness rest assured, General Zhan rest assured, I will definitely not believe this, after all, we have all experienced the affairs of Zhan Gongzi personally." However, yesterday there was another incident related to the General's Palace. ”

Zhan Qian said: "It seems that the General's Mansion and the Shenji Battalion are really fateful!"

Huo Xiao said: "Yesterday, when the spies of the Shenji Battalion were inquiring about the news at the gate of the southern city, they met an old man. This old man lives in Qingfeng Town, thirty miles outside the city, and he is here to find his son. He received a letter from his son on the sixth day of the new year, saying that he could go home from the city to visit relatives on the ninth day of the new year at the latest, but yesterday it was already twelve, and his son had not yet arrived home. His son's name is Fu Shui, twenty-one years old, seven feet eight tall, with a long face from melon seeds. However, the old man only knew that he was working as a helper in the house of a large family. ”

At this time, Zhan Qian asked: "So, this Fu Shui is a subordinate of my house?"

Huo Xiao said: "This, Steward Zhu should know best." ”

Steward Zhu was two feet behind Zhan Qian, and only listened to him: "There is indeed this person in the house, he is good at arithmetic, I arranged it in Zhang Fang, and usually takes care of daily household purchases." I have the impression that he should be on the list of the latest wave of leave. ”

Huo Xiaodao: "To be precise, he left the day before the accident of Zhan Gongzi, that is, on the ninth day of the first month, right?"

Steward Zhu nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Huo Xiao said: "Qingshui Town is only thirty miles away from the south gate of Xianlin City, and from the General's Mansion to Qingshui Town, it is no more than fifty miles. A normal person would never have walked for more than three hours, but this brother has been walking for almost forty hours, and he hasn't arrived home yet! ”

Zhan Qian said, "Maybe he has something to delay, or maybe he and his father have crossed the road?"

Huo Xiao said: "This morning, I have sent someone to his house, but I haven't gone back yet, and I have also inquired along the way with his portrait, but I have found no trace of him." Steward Zhu, he is your subordinate, where do you think he will go?"

Steward Zhu looked embarrassed and said, "This, I really don't know." ”

Huo Xiaodao: "It's normal that you don't know, after all, there are so many people, you can't everyone understand it thoroughly." However, I also discovered something interesting today. ”

At this time, Xiao Shaoyu said: "You really have a lot of interesting things. ”

Huo Xiao smiled: "Then does Your Highness want to hear it?"

Xiao Shaoyu said: "As long as it's interesting, naturally I want to." General, do you say so?"

Zhan Qian smiled: "That's nature!"

Huo Xiao continued: "This afternoon, when I checked the body of Zhan Gongzi and looked for clues to Yun Shengwu, I found that on the back of Zhan Gongzi, I actually found a red bump on Zhan Gongzi's chest. Dare to ask General Zhan, does Gongzi Zhan have such a birthmark?"

This question came a little suddenly. Whether it was Zhan Qian, Song Zijun, or Steward Zhu, they were all surprised.

Subsequently, Zhan Qian replied, "No!"

Huo Xiao nodded and said, "It may be that the corpse is suffocated in the coffin, so there are some strange phenomena on the skin, and it is not enough." However, after that, I found a three-inch-long scar on the palm of Zhan Gongzi's right foot. Of course, it's normal for men to have scars on their bodies. This scar is not necessarily known to parents when they are parents. However, what is strange is that yesterday the old man said that there was a red birthmark on Fu Shui's chest, near his left chest, and a three-inch-long scar on the palm of his right foot. Isn't that strange, you say?"

For a while, the audience was silent. What does this mean? Anyone with a long brain understands it. The atmosphere seemed to be a little awkward, so Xiao Shaoyu said: "The world is so big!"

Huo Xiaodao: "In this world, there are indeed many coincidences. It's just that a birthmark and a scar grow in the same place, such a coincidence, I'm afraid even twin brothers, it's difficult! Of course, I say this only because of my curiosity as a headcatcher, and I really think this thing is interesting, so I take it out. Don't mind, General. ”

Zhan Qian said: "Huo Zhutou's ability to solve the case, everyone in Xianlin knows it, since Huo Zhutou is suspicious, if he doesn't solve his doubts, I'm afraid His Highness can't explain it here!"

Xiao Shaoyu said: "The Shenji Battalion has always been meticulous in the face of the case, if there is a problem, you have to find the answer, no matter when, the truth is the most important." Of course, neither I nor Huo Zhutou will have any doubts about General Zhan, and I hope the general understands this. ”

Zhan Qian said: "Where did Your Highness speak!"

Xiao Shaoyu said: "In this case, let's go and see the so-called truth! But I think it must be Huo Xiao's drinking too much nonsense, and after confirming it later, I will punish him to be a cook in your general's mansion for three days." If there is someone in Xianlin who can catch up with Madame's cooking skills, it must be Huo Xiao. ”

At this time, Song Zijun smiled and said: "If you say that, I really want to try Huo Zhutou's craftsmanship." ”

Subsequently, went to the antechamber.

Like in the afternoon, Huo Xiao and Xiao Shaoyu first put on incense, toasted, and then came to the coffin.

At this time, Zhan Qian came over and said, "This time, let me come!"

As he spoke, Zhan Qian pushed open the lid of the coffin, and Zhan Kun's body appeared again. Probably due to the light, Zhan Kun's face was even more gray, and it looked a little scary.

Subsequently, under the instruction of Zhan Qian, Steward Zhu untied Zhan Kun's shirt.

However, where is there a red birthmark?

It is said that Huo Xiao's every step has his reasons, but what is he playing with this step!!?
