Xiao Qi laughed angrily: "Hmph, they are very good at playing this kind of trick of attacking and framing people." ”

The guard held his breath and didn't dare to speak.

This kind of routine, several princes are familiar with it.

Like Zhang Li, not long after he was transferred to the capital, he seems to have nothing to do with anyone, and he is purely neutral. After arriving in the capital, he frequently visited the prince's doormen. As long as something happens, others will associate him with the prince.

They guarded, but they suffered several losses. At the beginning, it was found that this kind of relationship on the surface stopped. Later, something happened and other princes were involved, only to find out that these were all tricks to deliberately guide them.

Coming and going a few times, they are very skilled at checking these things.

Don't look at it now, when it is found out that Zhang Li is secretly involved with the three princes, I think that the instigator behind it is the third prince, and he wants to frame the prince. But who knows if that's the truth?

Or maybe that's the truth; Or is this still the so-called "truth" that others want them to see and find, and there is someone else behind it.

The guards who had only been sent a few missions and investigated a few times of this kind of incident knew this truth, and Xiao Qi understood it even better.

As a father, there is still a father who entrusts his son, Xiao Qi is actually very happy that his sons have such eyes and means. If it weren't for this, whoever sat on the throne in the future would have to be played by the courtiers. The position of the throne does not allow for the existence of stupid white sweetness.

But this incident touched his bottom limit.

He commanded, "Look down and see if there is anyone else's handwriting." Zhang Li has only been in contact with these two princes since he came to the capital, and he may have been in contact with them as early as his original appointment. If you follow this line of thought, you must find out who is behind the scenes. In addition......"

He paused: "Zhang Li's previous official affairs, no matter whether it was good or bad, he would report it after he found it, and he should not skip it." ”

"Yes." The guards answered and retreated.

Zhang Li's matter, not only Xiao Qi is investigating, but Xiao Lingyan is also investigating.

Xiao Qi also worried that Zhang Li was his courtier, and the instigator behind him was his son, so he was quiet after the investigation, and he might pretend to be confused after the investigation. Xiao Lingyan doesn't care so much.

provoked his family Xu Xi, even Xiao Qi, the king of heaven, he dared to deal with it, let alone Zhang Li's little shrimp.

Isn't the person behind Zhang Li hidden deeply, and it's hard to check? It's good to scare the snake.

……

Since he suppressed Zhao Ruxi in the county test, Zhang Li has not slept well in the past two nights.

In the middle of the night, in a daze, he heard a noise outside the window, as if someone's foot had slipped, and he immediately came to his senses.

After thinking about it, he got up and put on his clothes, raised his feet and walked out.

"Where are you going if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?" Mrs. Zhang was woken up and asked dissatisfiedly, "Don't you rest assured that the little goblin still has to go to see her in the middle of the night?" ”

Zhang Li's eyes were full of impatience.

He turned his head and frowned at his wife: "I said you women, can you think of something else besides being jealous?" ”

After saying that, he didn't bother to pay attention to his wife anymore, opened the door and went out.

Zhang Li was born in a cold family, although he has been an official for ten years, his family is not much wealthy, even the concubine Wu is only a new recruit, and there are not many people. There is no such thing as a person who is on duty at night like the Sayak.

At this time, there was silence outside the door, and there was only a faint and hazy moonlight in the courtyard.

Zhang Li looked at the door and didn't see any movement. He thought about it, went back to the house, lit the lamp, and walked out with the lamp.

Mrs. Zhang got up in a hurry, put on a coat and followed him, and had a great way to see where he went.

Zhang Li ignored her, took a look around the yard with a lamp, and didn't see anything. He looked up at the sky and saw a waning moon hanging in the sky, apparently in the middle of the night.

He walked back with the lamp: "Let's go, go back to sleep." ”

Mrs. Zhang was a little confused by his move, and immediately became nervous and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, it could be a feral cat." Zhang Li said.

The couple went back to the house and fell asleep again.

After lying down, Mrs. Zhang quickly fell asleep, but Zhang Li didn't feel sleepy at all, and kept listening to the movement outside. However, until dawn, the courtyard was quiet inside and out.

He got up to wash, and when he saw that it was dawn, he quickly looked around the yard again, and finally found that the moss on the wall of the yard seemed to have been stepped on by something, leaving a slippery mark.

It's just that this slip mark is very shallow, not only last night can't be seen, but this daytime, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it.

He lived in the mansion of the government, and the officials who built it were probably worried about safety, so they built the wall very high, seven or eight feet long, and it was difficult for ordinary people to climb it without the help of ladders and other tools.

The one who can come and go freely on such a high wall, leaving traces only in the case of carelessness, is obviously a master.

Zhang Li chuckled in his heart, and finally believed that the voice he heard last night was not an illusion, and he was extremely uneasy in his heart.

After breakfast, Zhang Li took his subordinates to the yamen.

The house where he lived was some distance from the Yamen, and he needed to walk a hundred steps to get to the main gate of the Yamen.

After walking for a while, he suddenly noticed that the nursing home he was following was looking around.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

The nurse swallowed nervously, leaned closer to Zhang Li and whispered, "Master, the villain always feels that someone is staring at us." ”

For several days in a row, Zhang Li felt like he was being targeted; Even Mrs. Zhang, who was a little nervous, felt that something was wrong and felt that someone was staring at her.

Mrs. Zhang said to her husband, "What the hell is going on? Who is staring at us? ”

Before Zhang Li could speak, someone shouted outside: "Master, Xianquan County sent someone to deliver a letter quickly." ”

Zhang Li's expression froze, he stood up and said, "Spread quickly." ”

Immediately, a dusty man came in and handed Zhang Li a letter.

After reading the letter, Zhang Li sat down in his seat.

"Master, what's wrong?" Mrs. Zhang asked worriedly.

"Someone went to the county to check on something." Zhang Li said with a pale face.

He has a clean reputation, but he has also done some unsightly things in private, received money, created false and wrongful cases, and fell into the trap.

It is precisely because of these tricks that he has no choice but to stand in line even if he wants to be neutral.

But now, can his master protect him?

He went to the study with weak legs, wrote a letter, and thought he had sent someone to a place in disguise.

Even if someone stared at him, he couldn't care. Now it is obvious that someone wants to mess with him, if he doesn't ask for help, as soon as the matter in Xianquan County is exposed, he will be finished.

The next day, a message from the guards appeared on the case of Xiao Qi and Xiao Lingyan, with three words on it: "Four princes." ”
