Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Tang Feng, who was cutting vegetables, and asked, "When I saw you in 'Yizhuang' before, you were investigating the case?" ”

Tang Feng ignored it and continued to cut the vegetables.

She continued to ask, "I owe you a favor, when will I pay you back?" ”

Tang Feng didn't stop the movement in his hand, and replied, "When it should be used for you." ”

"Haven't you been in trouble lately," Zhaole said as he walked over, "wasn't that charred body left in a mass grave stolen?" ”

"If I let me know who it is, I won't let him go." Tang Feng raised the kitchen knife in his hand and looked at it.

Tang Xiaoxiao swallowed his saliva, could it be the corpse that he mistook for Tang Feng before, right?

So he asked tentatively: "Is the charred corpse you mentioned related to the case left by my father at that time?" ”

"Don't ask what you shouldn't know."

Zhaole sighed, pretending to be provocative: "Obviously, this hurdle can't be passed, and you still want to save face, if you don't say it, then I'll tell her." ”

Tang Xiaoxiao hurriedly grabbed his hand holding the kitchen knife, looked at him seriously and said, "Brother, do you remember me?" So you want to protect me from danger. ”

"Don't be self-inflicted," Tang Feng withdrew his hand, "You lost your life, it doesn't matter to me, it's just ......"

"It's just that you need me to help you stay alive."

After the three of them looked at each other for a long time, Tang Feng had no choice but to tell her about the scorched corpse, although it was not an unfinished case left by Tang Zhong, it was also a case that could not be tried publicly.

Five years ago, the Ministry of Industry received a holy decree to secretly build an arsenal, but at the time of acceptance, it was found that there were corners, but at that time, the account books and the detailed books of materials in and out of the warehouse were not found to be anything wrong, and the emperor has always been concerned about this matter. Tang Feng took over the case two months ago, and soon noticed something suspicious, and followed the clues to find Yang Shu, who was a waiter in the Ministry of Works. However, he heard that Yang Shu had resigned and returned to his hometown without knowing where to go, and visited his hometown Zhenjiang, but there was no news, and even the entire Yang family was empty.

Tang Feng, who felt that the Yang Mansion was suspicious, stayed in Zhenjiang for three days and found the charred corpse in the attic of the Yang Mansion, which was very likely related to the corruption and bribery of the Ministry of Industry when it made arms two years ago. Tang Feng, who was afraid that he would startle the snake, used other objects to make a fake stealing beam and changing the pillar, and transported the real charred corpse back to "Yizhuang", and after finding some clues, the case was not closed, so as not to be found and destroyed, so he temporarily buried the charred corpse in the mass grave and made a mark, never expected that the corpse would be stolen. The case has not yet been concluded, and this "charred corpse" is "physical evidence".

"Xing ......" Tang Xiaoxiao pressed the kitchen knife in his hand and pulled him away from the kitchen knife, "I can help you." ”

"What? Did you see it in the abandoned prison? ”

"How do you know I'm in an abandoned prison?" Tang Xiaoxiao immediately said, "No, I mean, the corpse is in my hands......"

"What?!" Tang Feng and Zhaole looked at her in surprise, and she smiled bitterly with a little weakness.

In the dead of night, three dark shadows appeared at the foot of a certain mountain, and then entered the mountain one after the other.

"Can't you bring a lantern?" Zhaole complained, clutching Tang Feng's arm tightly, "I'm scared to death here." ”

Tang Feng frowned and looked at Zhaole beside him: "Don't let you follow, if you don't go home at night, what kind of system will you become." ”

"No, I will go wherever you go, and I will die with you."

Tang Xiaoxiao smiled secretly, continued to lead the way, remembering that Fang had just been chased and killed by Tang Feng in the mountain stream, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, obviously it was his biological brother in front of him, but he could only see the stranger in his eyes.

The three of them walked many forks in the road, and finally came to the clearing, and by the moonlight, they approached the tomb. The three of them stood in front of the tombstone, the wooden tombstone was neatly engraved with the words "Brother's Tomb", and there was a crescent mark on the side, which was a secret mark of the two since childhood, because they replaced Tang Feng's name and could not engrave the name.

"I thought you were dead...... Tang Xiaoxiao said apologetically.

"You're pretty smart." Tang Feng pulled out the tombstone and touched the familiar font and crescent moon on it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "What's your name?" ”

Tang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, did not answer, felt a little sad in his heart, took out his own sachet, and continued: "The same sachet as this one is also in it." ”

Tang Feng saw the sachet in her hand and hurriedly threw away the tombstone, touched his waist, and without saying a word, he was about to dig the grave, but Zhaole hurriedly grabbed him.

"You, you, you...... Do you really want to dig it? This...... ...... in the middle of the night Weird and scary ......"

The surrounding leaves rustled with the yin wind, and Zhao Le couldn't help but hug Tang Feng tightly, while Tang Xiaoxiao stood aside and watched them. I don't have much courage, and I don't know how I picked up the body in the mass grave in the first place. She swallowed and stroked the cold hairs that stood up involuntarily on her arm.

"Or ...... Come back tomorrow? Tang Xiaoxiao proposed.

"I'll stay here alone until tomorrow, and you can bring her back." Tang Feng pushed Zhaole to her.

"Huh? You're going to be here alone, huh? Zhaole moved back to his side step by step, "Why don't you let me accompany you?" ”

But as a result, Zhaole couldn't withstand the cold wind, for fear that she would fall ill and cause more trouble, Tang Xiaoxiao still took Zhaole away from the mountain, after all, Tang Feng was gone, and it was a big matter if the princess was gone. Again, the two of them were out at night together and didn't know what mess would happen.

After they left, Tang Feng stayed in front of the tomb alone, squatting down and caressing the crescent moon on the tombstone and pondering for a long time, a trace of relief appeared on his face.

"Then the lowly post went back first." Sending Zhaole not far from the palace gate, Tang Xiaoxiao prepared to return to the Hanlin Academy.

"Hey," Zhaole stopped her, took off his earrings, and put them in her hand, "This is a meeting gift from your future sister-in-law, and I will officially prepare a generous gift for you next time." After saying that, he happily ran towards the palace gate.

Tang Xiaoxiao held the red agate earrings in his hand, and then looked in the direction of the palace gate, and the personal guards who secretly protected Zhaole followed her into the palace gate one after another, and Tang Xiaoxiao was not a little surprised when he saw this scene, otherwise how could the emperor be so relieved that she was wandering outside the palace alone.

On the way back to the Hanlin Academy, Tang Xiaoxiao sighed secretly, thinking that he had concealed it seamlessly, but he didn't think that he had already stepped into the emperor's chessboard, and everyone who should know knew it.

It was late at night, Tang Xiaoxiao lay in bed and stayed awake all night, his mind was all about Ye Zhenping and the assassination of Tang Feng, what was the deep hatred that made him want to be so vicious, but with his own ability, he couldn't get close to Ye Zhenping at all, did he want to use Zhaole again?

"No......" Tang Xiaoxiao smothered into the quilt, "What should ......I do?"
