Adjutant General Yu stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"What's wrong?" Murong Qi asked sullenly.

"My subordinates have something important to come back to."

"Enter." Murong Qi said lightly.

Adjutant Yu pushed the door in. Sure enough, there was a brazier in the center of the room, and Murong Qi was squatting in front of him, constantly throwing letters into it. Occasionally. The flames would be extinguished, puffs of smoke would come out, and then slowly, the letters would gradually burn, and the whole thing would be engulfed in flames.

"Some confidential correspondence was handed over to others, and the king was not at ease, so he burned it himself." Murong Qi seemed to be explaining to him.

Deputy General Yu also came to him, and squatted in front of Murong Qi: "Just now, the princess went to the courtyard of her subordinates. She said, "There is another thief in her place today." ”

Murong Qi's eyelids were not flirtatious, he was choked by the sudden burst of smoke and coughed, and rubbed his eyes.

"How did the thief recognize her there? Lost something? ”

"The princess said that the things were not lost, but the clothes were thrown into the water when the thief fled in panic, and all the silver tickets and other things in them were destroyed."

The corners of Murong Qi's lips hooked imperceptibly, and he said seriously: "This thief is too rampant, and he must be severely punished." Did the princess ever say which thief was it? ”

Deputy General Yu shook his head: "The princess said that the other party was covered with a black scarf, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly. However, his eyes were poisoned by the princess, so his subordinates just launched an investigation in the mansion one by one, and they really gained something! ”

Murong Qi kept lowering his eyelids, and when he heard Deputy General Yu say this, he casually asked, "What gain?" ”

"Liu San, the gardener in the house, is suspected of committing a major crime!" Deputy General Yu invited merit and said excitedly.

Murong Qi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but raise his face and glance at Deputy General Yu: "How can you see it?" ”

Deputy General Yu found that his prince's eyes were red, just like rabbits.

"Lord Wang, you, your eyes ......"

Murong Qi glanced at him coldly: "This king is smoked by this. ”

Deputy General Yu felt that his prince was handsome and said that everything was right.

"Then Liu San's eyes are just like you, Lord Wang, but they are still very red and swollen. He kept saying that he was stung by a bee while tending to flowers and plants, but Lang and I concluded that he deliberately wanted to cover up and cover up the evidence! ”

Murong Qi's hand paused: "Just for this reason? ”

Also, he also said that he saw the thief with his own eyes, dressed in red, and disappeared on the roof. But the princess said that the thief was clearly dressed in black, wasn't he talking nonsense? ”

Murong Qi patted the ash on his hand: "If it was really him, knowing that he was dressed in black at the time, why did he have to change his words to arouse suspicion?" ”

"Uh...... Also. Deputy General Yu found that he really seemed to have neglected this: "Then it's not him?" ”

Murong Qi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Although it's not him, but I also have to interrogate clearly, why did he lie and say that the person was dressed in red?" Was he afraid of being convicted and opened his mouth, or was someone instigating? ”

Deputy General Yu patted his ass seriously: "The prince is wise, a word wakes up the person in the dream, and the last general is like an empowerment in an instant, and he has benefited a lot." ”

Murong Qi glared at him angrily: "Then what are you still doing here?" Hurry up and interrogate it. ”

Vice Adjutant Yu straightened up and enthusiastically suggested: "Then don't you go and interrogate the princess?" Let's see what the purpose of that thief sneaking into Chaotianque is? Is it to steal the silver ticket in the princess's clothes? Or do you have bad intentions towards the princess? ”

Murong Qi's face sank in displeasure: "Let me interrogate her?" Are you fanning the flames? ”

Deputy General Yu laughed dryly, and muttered as he walked out: "How is it possible?" The subordinates will go now, and if the thief is found, the princess will say that she will unload him for eight pieces of silver. ”

Murong Qi's hand that threw something into the brazier stiffened, and he suddenly felt as if there was a gust of cold wind rushing up from the back of his back, and the little beautiful scenery left in his heart suddenly disappeared.

After a while, Vice General Yu returned.

"If you really let the prince guess it in a word, Liu San is really not the thief. Just now, I coerced, enticed, and tortured, but he couldn't stand it anymore and honestly confessed. ”

Murong Qi was tilting his face and applying ice cubes to his eyes: "How did he explain?" ”

He said that he really didn't see the thief coming in and out, because he was afraid of being misunderstood, so he started talking nonsense. remembered that the thief who entered the house last time was dressed in red, so he climbed on. He said that after he was stung by a bee, the side concubine Niangniang saw it with her own eyes and could testify. ”

Murong Qi snorted lightly at the end of his nose: "Leng Qinglang has seen it?" I'm afraid that this Liu San is not honest, what else is hidden, right? He didn't want this errand anymore. ”

Deputy General Yu was a little confused, turned around and went out again, it was just time for tea, and he came back excitedly, and gave a thumbs up to Murong Qi: "Lord Wang, you are strategizing, all this is simply under your control, and the last general is convinced." ”

"When you come to the palace, you learn very quickly."

Deputy General Yu smiled: "Liu Sanyi is scared, this time he is really honest." He said that it was the side concubine Niangniang who told him that the house was searching for the thief who trespassed into the princess's room, and the thief was dressed in red and masked, and his eyes were injured by the princess, and it is said that he is still red and swollen. If his appearance is discovered, even if he jumps into the Yellow River, he will not be able to wash it.

Liu San was so frightened that he had no master, and begged the side concubine to give him a witness, and the side concubine Niangniang taught him this set of rhetoric. Liu San is still grateful to the side concubine Niangniang, but he doesn't know that he was used as a gunman. ”

Murong Qi took away the handkerchief that was used to cover his eyes, and squeezed his eyes hard, still a little uncomfortable: "Since Liu San is so grateful to Leng Qinglang, let's send him to Wisteria Xiaozhu to do things." He said, "This is the king's will." With the princess, there is no need to talk much. ”

Deputy General Yu immediately understood that the prince was knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and gave Leng Qinglang a warning.

He kindly reminded Murong Qi again: "Your eyes still look red, do you want the princess to come and take a look at you?" ”

The handkerchief in Murong Qi's hand was thrown directly into Deputy General Yu's arms.

"It's just smoked, is this king so squeamish? Dare to let the princess know that this king has smoked you. ”

Deputy General Yu smacked his lips, as for it? Even if the princess knows about it, she may not be worried about you. Moreover, the prince's eyes are a little weird.

Hehe, is it a thief who looks at something that shouldn't be seen?

On the morning of the second day, as soon as the door of the palace was opened, the porter ran to Murong Qi's study.

Murong Qi had just finished practicing his sword, and he was sweating profusely.

The porter replied: "Lord Qi, the eldest prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion is here, and he is waiting outside the door." ”

Deserted crane? What are you doing so early?

Murong Qi threw away the sword in his hand and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief: "Please ask him to go to the living room for tea, this king will come as soon as he changes his clothes." ”

The porter stood motionless at his feet: "Leng Gongzi refuses." ”

Murong Qi turned around in surprise: "Why?" ”

Leng Gongzi said that since the prince has reconciled with the princess, then it is no longer a family, and it is not appropriate to take the liberty of coming to the door again. He came to pick up the princess and return to the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

The Prime Minister even knew? Uncle, this is a teacher who came to the door to ask about the crime, right?
