At this time, Yu Zeyan was resting in the house, he was half-leaning on the couch, his left hand supporting his head, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

Shen Huan stood aside and said: "Gu Houye's trick is clever, doesn't this make it clear that he didn't know and didn't agree with it beforehand, His Majesty's promise is already tolerant, and he is really missing some words when he is punished like this." ”

After a while, he said in a low voice: "Is it that Your Majesty and Gu Houye are acting?" Or is Miss Gu Jiasan also involved? ”

Shen Huan was puzzled: "It's unlikely, Childe, I look at that Miss Gu family who doesn't seem to have such a powerful brain." ”

He recalled that day at the Xijing Inn, Gu Nian's every move was without any regulations, not like it was deliberate, except for the staggering change of face.

"How's that going on with what I asked you to check?"

"There's news, Childe. A few days ago, the people in the palace talked back and forth, saying that on the day that King Changning went, someone saw a prince running out of the prayer hall in a hurry. It's just that the distance is too far away, and I can't see which prince it is. ”

Shen Huan paused and continued, "The person I saw was very old, he was an old eunuch who served the Empress Dowager in the early years, he was already old and sick, and now he was terminal, I don't know if what he said is true or not. ”

"The Prince? Is it the Third Highness or the Fifth Highness? Yu Zeyan opened his eyes suddenly. asked with a cold face.

"Investigating." Shen Huan replied, he took out a knuckle-sized bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Yu Zeyan, "Childe, this is news from Shangyuan Kingdom. ”

Yu Zeyan took it, wiped the bamboo tube with a handkerchief, and opened it to see.

I saw that the note read: The Dementor Bead was stolen on the way to Beijing, and it is being searched with all its might.

Yu Zeyan frowned, he sat up slowly, and slapped the note on the table with a "bang".

Shen Huan picked it up and looked at it, and exclaimed in a low voice: "The soul bead was stolen? ”

This soul bead is a sacred weapon of the Shangyuan Kingdom. It can absorb people's thoughts, extract things that people bury in the depths of their memories and do not want to mention or seem to have forgotten, so that people can take the initiative to speak.

To put it bluntly, this soul bead is a truth elixir that does not need to be taken. But the mana of this soul bead is huge, and in addition to having the blood of the Shangyuan royal family, the user also needs to have a rich internal force. When using, the operation must be done properly, and the user must also have a very deep internal force and skill to be affected by the dementor bead, otherwise it will be eaten back.

It is a big deal that he secretly entered Beijing three months ago, and now it is stolen in the Yu Dynasty.

"Do you want to inform Your Majesty about this secret guard?" Shen Huan asked softly. If this matter is not handled well, it will be light to lose the head, and it may be a major crime to punish the nine clans.

"Stop it first." Yu Zeyan got up and walked out, and Shen Huan hurriedly followed.

Yu Zeyan walked out of the mansion and went straight to the Xijing Inn.

Now is the time of You, the stalls on the street are slowly erected, and there are a lot of people eating in the Xijing Inn.

Xiao Er, who greeted the guests at the door, saw Yu Zeyan and bent down to greet him: "His Royal Highness the Prince is here!" Come inside please! ”

Yu Zeyan followed him up to the second floor and entered the most central private room, he handed the menu to Shen Huan, and said to Xiao Er: "Call your fat manager." ”

"Gotcha! That's for you! Xiao Er hurriedly answered, and after a while, he called the fat man.

This fat man is the fat man who angrily scolded the shopkeeper for being blind last time.

He entered the door and said with a smile: "Lord Shizi, what do you command?" ”

Yu Zeyan waved his hand, and Shen Huan closed the door of the private room.

The fat man's smiling face instantly became serious, "Master, what are your orders?" ”

"Chang Ji, what news has you had in the south recently?" Yu Zeyan asked softly.

The fat man named Chang Ji took out a scroll of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Zeyan and said, "Just a few days ago, I received news from Shangyuan that a spy was missing. ”

"What's this spy's name?" Yu Zeyan frowned.

"Kwon Yin." He often replied respectfully.

Yu Zeyan thought for a moment and asked, "Quan Yin, the adopted son of the Quan family?" ”

"Exactly." The fat man saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he said again: "It is a common thing for this spy to disappear, and some people will be lost every once in a while, but after a while, he will come back to his life, so I didn't take it seriously, but I only learned about Shangyuan's theft of the holy weapon today, master, is there any connection here?" ”

Yu Zeyan didn't speak, he waved his hand, and Chang Ji retreated.

The fat man took a deep breath and returned to his usual smiling face. He walked down the stairs and shouted at Xiao Er downstairs: "In the private room on the second floor, Kung Pao shrimp balls, lychee chicken, golden paste, and jade chicken." Another pot of craft brew, let me know when it's ready, and I'll deliver it myself. ”

"Okay!" The second child downstairs responded.

In a private room on the second floor

Yu Zeyan held his cheek with his left hand, sitting on the seat thinking about something. The index finger and thumb of his right hand kept rubbing together, his eyes glazed over, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"This Chang Ji doesn't know that Quan Yin is the one who escorted the Dementor Bead back?" Shen Huan asked softly.

"Although Chang Ji's identity is the third level of the General Administration of Secret Agents in Six Continents, in order to keep it secret, the list of escorts of the Dementor Bead is only known to a few high-level officials, and I am the only one in the General Administration. But..."Yu Xue's words came to an abrupt end.

"There are still people in the palace who know."

"What Childe said is... Your Majesty? Shen Huan was surprised.

"Not only Your Majesty, but also Qi Yuan, the Duke of Qi Guo, Gu Hou Ye Gu Zhan, and Quan Si Hu." Yu Zeyan recalled. "You go up with me and check this Quan Yin."

Shen Huan responded, only to see him walk behind the door, and press with his left hand in the corner where there was a little dust, and a secret passage appeared. This secret passage is inclined upwards and has no bottom.

Shen Huan casually took the candlestick on the table, and walked all the way up, it was a room, this room looked like a luxurious guest room from the outside, but the walls were loose, and there was a hole in the sky. This is the innermost room on the top floor of this inn, the intelligence gathering center of the Six Continents Spies.

There are several extremely tall bookshelves filled with portrait albums. Yu Zeyan casually took out a copy and handed it to Shen Huan.

Shen Huan opened it and saw that the third page was Quan Yin's information.

Shen Huannian said: "Quan Yin, the adopted son of the Quan family, eighteen years old, joined the General Administration for two years, the recommender, Si Xinhou and the secretary of the ministry, Gu Zhan. ”

Shen Huan analyzed: "This Quan Yin is the youngest son of Quan Sihu, and Quan Sihu was brought up by Gu Houye, and he should be under the command of Gu Houye Gu Zhan." ”

Yu Zeyan shook his head, he turned around and walked to the couch table in front of the cabinet to sit down.

Shen Huan wiped Yu Zeyan with his sleeve.

"On the surface, this Quan Yin is under Gu Zhan's command, but what is the use of Gu Zhan stealing this soul bead?" Yu Zeyan questioned, "I always feel that something is wrong. ”

He shook his head and turned to look at Shen Huan, "If you are Gu Hou and you want to steal the Soul Beads, will you use one of your own people who have walked through the open scene to escort you?" ”

Shen Huan shook his head, "Or is this Quan Yin actually not under the command of Gu Zhan, the Marquis of Gu, and he has another owner?" ”

"Not bad." Yu Zeyan nodded. Although this Shen Huan usually looks poor, everything is almost instantaneous, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked at Shen Huan with appreciation, he didn't really learn to hang with himself on weekdays.

"Knock Knock"

There was a knock on the door in the secret passage, and Chang Ji bent down and walked in: "Master, the dishes are ready." ”

Yu Zeyan got up, he walked over and patted Chang Ji's shoulder, and walked into the secret passage, but turned his head and fell back. He said to Chang Ji: "Send someone to check Quan Yin's movements, and tell me immediately if there is any movement." ”
