Chapter 50: The Danger Remains
A few old pines in the yard are still vigorous and upright, and those evergreen plants are even more luxuriant, not affected by this cold winter at all, so that people who are in the severe cold may not be able to withstand the invasion of this cold wind.
Huang Xu stood in the courtyard, his mood couldn't calm down for a long time, think about it, although he has not been in this heavenly kingdom for a long time, he has encountered a lot of things, and most of these things are complicated, how to sort it out, but it is a pity that he has been deeply trapped in it at this time, if he wants to withdraw, I am afraid that he will not be able to help himself.
"Da Hong, in the past few days since I was away, everything was normal, right?" Huang Xu looked at the sky at the top of the courtyard and asked thoughtfully.
"Well, big brother, everything is normal." Yao Dahong, who was standing behind Huang Xu, said.
"That's good." Huang Xu didn't look back and didn't explain further.
"However, I remember one thing, I don't know if it's important, and I ask my eldest brother to consider it. Here's the thing, when I was cleaning up my eldest brother's house yesterday, I found that the poems and paintings that my eldest brother usually made seemed to be missing, and I searched the whole yard and couldn't find it. Yao Dahong told what happened.
"Oh, there's such a thing, then you don't have to look for it, I can guess where these things are now, maybe sometimes something is missing, not necessarily a bad thing." Huang Xu said calmly.
These few brainless words stunned Yao Dahong, but since Huang Xu said so, there must be his reason, and he didn't want to ask, but he felt that the more he came into contact with Huang Xu, the more he felt that he was unfathomable, and then his admiration for Huang Xu was endless.
After Huang Xu said that, he didn't say anything more, just continued to quietly look at the sky on the top of the courtyard, Yao Dahong didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't want to disturb him, so he stood behind Huang Xu and accompanied him to his distraction.
Qinzheng Palace, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East who has not appeared here for a few days, is sitting on the throne with his eyes closed at the moment, he has been working hard for Huang Xu's affairs for the past few days, and he is indeed tired.
Under the steps, three powerful subordinates, Zhao Xiaofeng, Fang Hu, and Ning Zezhong, were waiting for the instructions of the East King.
"Mr. Zhao, Ah Hu, Zezhong, there are two main things to come to you today." The East King couldn't hide his physical and mental tiredness and said softly.
"Please show me." The three of them replied respectfully.
"This first thing, the detective work against Huang Xu has ended here, I think what happened a few days ago is enough to prove his innocence." As expected, Dongwang planned to return Huang Xu's innocence.
"What the prince said is very right, since Huang Xu is willing to sacrifice his life to save the prince, it shows his loyalty." Zhao Xiaofeng agreed.
"Lord Wang, although I admire Huang Xu's talent very much, and it is undeniable that he is a rare talent, but be careful in everything, we can't judge that he has ulterior motives because he saved the prince's life, wouldn't he take this opportunity to spread suspicions, so as to cover up some of his ulterior secrets, I still think that we must continue to investigate according to the original plan." It is really not easy for Fang Hu to have such an opinion.
"Lord Wang, I also agree with General Fang's opinion, it's better to be careful." Ning Zezhong agreed with Fang Hu's opinion, he paused for a moment, and continued: "I found something from Huang Xu's house, please take a look. After speaking, he presented some of the things he was holding in his hand to Yang Xiuqing.
Yang Xiuqing took it, opened some of them and looked at them, he was a little surprised to see these things, he didn't expect Huang Xu's literary talent to be so outstanding, this Huang Xu, weishenme can always bring people some unexpected surprises, such a talent is indeed rare.
"What does the prince think of these poems and paintings?" Ning Zezhong saw that Dongwang was staring at the poem in his hand, so he asked.
"Well, it's very good, I didn't expect this kid Huang Xu to have such cultivation." Yang Xiuqing looked at it while answering Ning Zezhong's question, looking very satisfied.
"Didn't the prince think about it deeply, Huang Xu's real intention to get these things out?" Ning Ze looked harmless to humans and animals, but Huang Xu had already said that he was not simple. And he brought these things from Huang Xu definitely not to help him, but on the contrary, he was to prove that Huang Xu had a problem, but he didn't expect that Zuihou was self-defeating, but he helped Huang Xu.
"Are you saying he got these things out to sensationalize and confuse the public?" Dongwang asked, squinting his eyes.
"Yes, that's what my subordinates mean." Ning Zezhong responded.
"Is there any evidence?" Dongwang asked.
"Not for the time being, but through this period of interaction with him, I guess that there should be a big secret hidden in him, anyway, he gives people the impression of being very secretive." Ning Ze is in the middle of the road.
"What does that have to do with all of this?" The king of the east raised the poems and paintings in his hand again.
"On the surface, it doesn't matter, but I feel like they do." Ning Zezhong couldn't say clearly, but his feelings told him that there was a problem.
"That is to say, it's just your feelings, it's speculation, but we can't judge a person based on feelings alone, we have to have evidence, and if there is no evidence, we can't blame people." Yang Xiuqing's words have already been said very seriously.
"Lord Wang..."Fang Hu next to him also wanted to help.
"Okay, I've made up my mind, Zezhong, Ah Hu, you don't have to say more, from today onwards, all surveillance of Huang Xu will be withdrawn, and, after a while, when his injuries are healed, I still want him to participate in our Jihua. If we can get his help, then the success rate of our Jihua can definitely be greatly improved. It seems that Yang Xiuqing not only wants to give Huang Xu justice, but also is ready to directly absorb him into his inner circle.
"Wang" Fang Hu wanted to say something more.
Ning Zezhong waved his hand at him, and Fang Hu swallowed back when he saw the words that had come to his mouth. Because Ning Zezhong knew that the East King had made a decision, it was useless to say anything, so he could only find an opportunity to remind the prince in the future, and he also needed to be more cautious and cautious against Huang Xu, judging from what this person had done so far, this person was really terrible.
"The prince is wise." Zhao Xiaofeng, who rarely speaks today, echoed the East King at this time.
Judging from the conversations of these people, everything is already very clear, Dongwang believes in Huang Xu, and the two right-hand men who have followed him for the longest time, Fang Hu and Ning Zezhong, have dissenting thoughts, while Zhao Xiaofeng, the chief thinker of the palace, is unpredictable. Things are getting more and more complicated.
"The second thing is about the assassins, Fang Hu, how is the investigation of the assassins?" Now that the first thing is done, it makes sense to talk about the second thing in the following time.
"Lord Qi, on the day of the accident, I have arranged for the palace guards to search every corner of the palace carefully, and found no trace of the assassin, in addition, I also passed on the prince's secret order to the general of the Nine Gates, and asked him to secretly check all the suspicious people who passed through the Nine Gates, but according to the news he transmitted, nothing was found, and I secretly dispatched the secret stakes of the palace to investigate inside and outside the palace, and there was no progress. So, I'm really confused, can this person fly into the sky? Fang Hu told the investigation in the past few days.
After Yang Xiuqing heard this, he didn't speak, and he didn't say anything about Fang Hu's words.
"Lord Wang, I also launched some secret investigations in the imperial city, and I didn't find anything." Ning Zezhong added.
There are really a lot of hidden secrets of this East King.
"Mr. Zhao, what do you think about this?" Yang Xiuqing did not directly judge Fang Hu and Ning Zezhong's words,
"Lord Qiqi, I think there are a lot of doubts in this matter, like ours to investigate aimlessly, it is almost impossible for Zuihou to find out the real murderer, so, I think, we might as well wait and see what happens, lay a good net, and wait for him to throw himself into the net, and now, what we need to pay attention to most now is not the problem of the assassin, but the major event that is being planned, compared with the two, the matter of the assassin can also be temporarily delayed, we need to concentrate on Liliang to do the big thing first." Zhao Xiaofeng's words also sound reasonable.
"Well, Mr. Zhao is right, what we should be most concerned about is the big things we are planning, and other things can be postponed for the time being." Yang Xiuqing agreed.
"Lord Wang, then your safety..."If it comes to loyalty, Fang Hu can be ranked first.
"Okay, Yanping will deal with it, and with this lesson, I will be extra careful." Yang Xiuqing said. And the Yanping in his mouth is the shadow guard who Huang Xu heard his voice in the palace last time.
This assassination incident sounded the alarm for Yang Xiuqing's safety issues, he will definitely be careful to take precautions, it is impossible to have such a chance to get close to him in the future.
"Everyone, this is the end of the assassin matter, take back all the liliang that has been laid out, and concentrate on the current big thing." Yang Xiuqing commanded.
"Yes," the three of them said in unison.
In Huang Xu's room, Huang Xu briefly told Yao Dahong about what had happened in the past few days, Huang Xu said it was very plain, but Yao Dahong was terrified when he heard it, he thought to himself, if he was there at the time, he would definitely be able to help Huang Xu block the knife, which shows how loyal Yao Dahong is to Huang Xu. Huang Xu was also pondering at this time, it was time, it was time to tell Yao Dahong the purpose of his coming here and some of his own jihua.
