It was pitch black on the river in the middle of the night, but there was a bright light from far and near, and soon the people on a small boat on the shore saw the glorious scene of that lamp!

The lamp is like a galaxy, shaped like a giant building, what kind of bright light is this, it is clearly the most popular flower boat "golden fragrance" today.

At this moment, the boat is singing and dancing, and the music is melodious.

A young man stood in the aisle in front of the house, looking down at the group of drunken people below like ants.

"Little Prince, the boats of the three government orders of Jinling, Zhenjiang, and Jinling have arrived!" Gong Qing accompanied him and stood behind Huang Hongyi to report.

"Good." After Huang Hongyi finished speaking, he was about to go upstairs, when he suddenly heard Gong Qingdao: "There is one thing in Qing, I don't know whether to talk about it!" ”

"Zi Zhu just said it." Huang Hongyi's face did not have the evil nature of the past, but he looked indifferent.

Gong Qing sighed and said, "Qing thinks that the time has not yet come, please think twice about the little prince!" ”

The dissatisfaction on Huang Hongyi's face flashed for a moment, and he smiled lightly: "Zizhu thinks that this little king doesn't have the ability to create the situation as a hero?" ”

"Not really!" Gong Qing immediately shook his head and arched his hand: "The little prince is a true hero, but it will take time for heroes to create the situation, and it is not yet time!" Since the defeat of the Xiaoyao Palace, we have suffered heavy losses, and now we can't take the Xiaoyao Palace back, and if we shoot now, the follow-up will definitely be weak! ”

Huang Hongyi became popular when he heard it!

In the eyes of others, Xiaoyao Palace is just a burning gold cave for people to have fun.

But it was the most important thing for him, and he built the Xiaoyao Palace, which was originally just a manor, with the food and grass and weapons he had hoarded.

But he listened to Gong Qing's suggestion, and made a lot of money in order to quickly raise military salaries, and changed it into a prostitution den, that's all, Gong Qing actually went behind his back to rob the woman of the Liang family, and even tied up the Taoist aunt of Taiping Dao, whether this matter is justified or not, you can't tell!

However, his perfect plan was destroyed because of the Loose Palace! Now that he heard Gong Qing mention Xiaoyao Palace, how could he not be angry!

"Zizhu will mention this matter in front of me in the future." After Huang Hongyi finished speaking, he turned his head and left.

Gong Qing was about to chase after him and persuade again, but he was suddenly grabbed by a person, he turned his head and glared at the man angrily and shouted, "What are you pulling me for?" ”

Xu Huai had a bitter expression on his face, and he didn't explain, and reported directly: "Dongjia, something happened!" ”

"What's wrong?" Gong Qing immediately restrained his anger when he heard this.

Xu Huai said with a solemn face: "The identity of the spy captured last time has been clarified, he is the head catcher of Jinling, named Wang Pang, and the other three are all fast catchers!" ”

"What, how did Jinling go to Huzhou? You're still eyeing us, what have you done to provoke them lately? Gong Qing said angrily.

"No, this matter, we have to start with the matter of Xiaoyao Palace, they have been secretly investigating, and I don't know when they found us, and I don't know what they have found!"

"Then you won't pry their mouths open for me!" Gong Qing was really annoyed, the last defeat had made him unable to raise his head in front of the little prince, but he didn't expect that because of this incident, he was actually arrested and investigated for more than a year!

Xu Huai looked bitter, slowly raised his head and looked at Gong Qingdao: "That Wang is so good at catching his head, if the people below are not careful, let him escape!" And the remaining three catchers are killed one by one, and they can't ask anything! ”

Gong Qing was stunned for a moment, he wanted to punish the crime, but he felt that people were fleeing and dying, and Xu Huai was undoubtedly cutting off his own arm, as for those people underneath, even if they were killed, what could they recover?

In Gong Qing's annoyance, Xu Huai said again: "The subordinates sent people to Jinling to bribe a few arresters, but they couldn't smell anything, but I learned that the head catcher surnamed Wang had been transferred outside by the chief arrester Fang Mu to investigate the case, so the subordinates sent people to follow Fang Mu, but just now those people came back to report that Fang Mu was at home under the pretense of illness, but he didn't know when he disappeared!" ”

Gong Qing suddenly wanted to kick Xu Huai downstairs.

"Don't worry about Wang Pang for now, Fang Mu must have gone to Beijing, why don't you send someone to recover it quickly!" Remember, he must be caught alive, but he must be crippled and unable to speak, isn't he pretending to be sick, let him pretend to be a lifetime! "Gong Qing doesn't know how much Fang Mu has mastered the Five Fire Hall, but if it is not much, he will definitely not rush north, this is obviously to Dali Temple in the middle capital!

In the Ning Dynasty, the criminal arrest room had the power to send the case directly to Dali Temple without going through the yamen, which seemed to prevent local grievances, but in fact, in addition to punishment, arrest and other work, the most important thing in the criminal arrest room was to investigate the situation of the local scholars and see who was preparing to plot a rebellion!

To put it bluntly, the total arrest is the eyeliner planted by the imperial court on the ground!

This is also the reason why, as soon as the arrest is dead, Dali Temple immediately sent someone to investigate, otherwise, a small official with eight mung beans, who cares about your life or death, speaking of which, even the county order, and even the government order in some remote areas do not have this treatment.

……

Zhong Xiaoyi didn't expect Fang Mu to agree to go with them so readily, this was different from the situation guessed in the sect leader's letter.

However, since Fang Mu agreed, Zhong Xiaoyi also felt that it was much easier, so he and Fang Mu went on the road together.

However, he was soon speechless, and that night, Fang Mu disappeared in the inn!

"Oops! I didn't expect this guy to be so cautious, what now? Zhong Xiaoyi was anxious.

Because Fang Mu agreed to go along, he asked the people of Jiuliutang to withdraw to Jinling, and now that Fang Mu suddenly disappeared, they had nowhere to be found!

"The sect leader's concerns are really good, alas, we are too careless, even if Mr. Fang believes in the sect leader, he may not necessarily believe us, besides, it is the first time we have met, and you have shown that you are very familiar with him, doesn't this arouse his suspicions." Zhong Xiaoshi shook his head and sighed.

"Forget it, he's so shrewd, I think he should be fine." Zhong Xiaoyi also shook his head and sighed.

The Zhong brothers then agreed and chose a route that could reach Zhongdu as soon as possible, after all, they really wanted to send Dong Ce a dowry gift and funds!

It's not the first time I've been to the capital, go to the nearest road, and there are people from Jiuliutang along the way to take care of it, and see if I can find out the news of Fang Mu from them.

However, the Zhong brothers didn't expect that it was because they chose this path that they would be remembered in vain!

Xu Huai personally rode north with more than a dozen good hands, he had already given up chasing Fang Mu, and chose to arrive in Zhongdu as soon as possible, as long as he could unite with the people and horses who were monitoring the imperial court in Luoyang before Fang Mu, and keep an eye on the people entering the city, as long as Fang Mu was prevented from entering the city.

But he didn't expect that after five days of driving, he actually received a message inexplicably!

Fang Mu is not mentioned in this news, but a very important place is mentioned, that is, "Art Garden!" ”

"How did the caravan from the Art Garden appear here?" Xu Huai has always been very jealous of Dong Ce, because anything related to him is not a good thing for them!

Moreover, in order to find out more clearly about Yanjiao, the owner deliberately built a theater next to the art garden, but to this day, what kind of existence Yanjiao exists and which force it belongs to, they still don't know it!

Now, Fang Mu is missing, he must be going to the capital, and the art garden caravan is also here, if they don't go to the capital, where can they go? I haven't heard that in addition to Jinling and Gusu, there is also an art garden, but after Dong Ce went to the capital, he never came back, and Dong Ce and Fang Mu have teamed up, so will Fang Mu be mixed in the caravan?

Whether it is or not, Xu Huai feels that it is necessary to check the art garden caravan, but he doesn't have the power, what should he do?

When Xu Huai was thinking, a subordinate beside him said: "Steward Xu, let's go for five days in a row, even if people can afford it, the horse can't stand it, I'm afraid it will get slower and slower in the future, it's better to take a boat as soon as possible and go to Luoyang from Huaishui!" ”

Xu Huai was about to refuse, but when he thought of it, it seemed like a rumor, the guards of the art garden caravan were hard stubble, the last time the White Lotus Sect dispatched hundreds of people, they were killed by more than half of their thirty people, and he went to move the caravan with this point, it was simply a suicide.

Just as Xu Huai was about to agree, another subordinate suddenly came down to report, saying, "General Yuan is here!" ”

Xu Huai was taken aback, thinking that the owner had already expected it and deliberately arranged for General Yuan to come? But no matter what, General Yuan is here, and it will be easy to do! (To be continued.) )
