Chapter 67: Doubts
Xiao Yan decided that if it wasn't for the strange thing about the elegant room opposite, Danyang lied and concealed her true purpose and deeds here.
"Open!"
The poor shopkeeper was shaken, and once again took out the key to the last room that he had with him, and which he had alone.
Click-
After the crisp sound of unlocking, Xiao Yan just wanted to raise his foot and kick the door. But for a moment, he remembered what Xiao Ni and Danyang had said before, so he could only retract the foot that had just stretched out and take a step forward.
Raised his hand to push the door and strode in.
But before he took a step, Xiao Yan was choked out.
"Ahem, what does this smell like?"
He waved back in disgust, and motioned for the attendants behind him to take the lead.
The big shopkeeper didn't dare to move forward, but only whispered quickly in place:
"Your Royal Highness, no one is allowed to enter this house on weekdays, and the young lady just came to offer incense, and probably didn't open the window for ventilation, so the smoke is mixed with the smell of old ash to be so choking."
Xiao Yan heard what the other party said, and the taste inside made him really unbearable.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, he simply stopped at the door and let his relatives go in to check it, while he himself interrogated the chief shopkeeper at the door.
"Hear you say that, no one has ever come to incense before? What was that girl doing in the house when you first came? ”
When the big shopkeeper heard this, he immediately waved his hand and explained:
"No, no, someone in the palace will come to sprinkle incense regularly. But other than that, we people from Lixiangyuan are not allowed to enter. ”
Xiao Yan looked at the key in the other party's hand, and after snorting noncommittally, he urged:
"Is that girl abnormal?"
At this time, the cold sweat on the forehead of the big shopkeeper had already fallen.
"Back to Your Highness, that, that young lady is nothing special."
He doesn't know the origin of that girl, but he can sing against this highness, can he be an ordinary person?
You don't have to think about it to know that this time it's not just a matter of talking.
Xiao Yan made a straight face for a moment, "Have you thought about it clearly, is there really nothing suspicious?" ”
Where does the big shopkeeper dare to hesitate at this time? nodded like pounding garlic and said:
"No, no, really not. What the little old man said is true! If you don't believe me, they and these generals and men who came with you, they also see it. ”
As he spoke, he stood aside with a finger, and the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army who had escorted him to this private room before.
After Xiao Yan glanced at it, he felt that none of them were familiar. Thinking that these were not the subordinates of the small leader of the Royal Forest Army, they were naturally sent to do errands that had no merit to be fished here.
The few people who were staring at it were stunned, and they all clasped their fists and arched their hands, and said in unison:
"Back to Your Highness, the last general and others have not found anything abnormal."
At this time, without waiting for Xiao Yan to ask again, the little leader who had been called away by his subordinates hurriedly returned and quickly stepped forward to interrupt his interrogation.
"Your Highness, please take a step to speak."
Because of the eagerness and seriousness of the other party's expression, Xiao Yan also had to pay attention to it and put down the matter in front of him for the time being.
"What's the matter, let's talk about it."
After the two came to the other end of the corridor, Xiao Yan urged a little impatiently.
For this kind of low-level officer, he has never been too lazy to pretend, anyway, the other party has not much to do, and almost all the backers he relies on are the Taishi Mansion, that is, his grandfather is the first to look forward.
If it weren't for the concubine's mother's instructions when he left the palace, the other party would be absolutely credible. And asked him to listen to this man's opinion as much as possible in times of danger, or on important issues, and he didn't bother to listen.
"Your Highness, the person of unknown origin before injured his lowly subordinates and disappeared."
When the little leader spoke, he was a little embarrassed.
But thinking of the urgency of the situation right now, he couldn't care so much.
"What?!"
After Xiao Yan heard this, his anger rushed to the top of his head in an instant, this rice bucket of two!
"You, and your men, what do I want you to eat all this waste?!"
Although the little leader has a low position, he has really been scolded by anyone since he joined the Royal Forest Army.
Immediately, his face turned a little blue, but he gritted his teeth and poured out all the words that should be said immediately.
"Your Highness, please calm your anger first, according to what you have seen in your humble position, it is imperative for you to return to the palace as soon as possible and inform Your Majesty of everything that happened here today."
You must know that if the other party is really a "friendly army", even if it is temporarily guarded, it will not hit someone, knock out the guards, and run away on their own.
In addition, the other party's purpose is unknown, and his own vision is damaged to varying degrees due to the powder spilled by the assassin, and no one can see the other party's appearance......
Because of this kind of thing, the little boss has more and more bottomless in his heart, and he is afraid that the killer gang that assassinated Prime Minister Lu will be ambushed nearby.
Xiao Yan didn't think so much when he heard this, but before he got angry, he first thought of the set of rhetoric Danyang said.
That's right!
He can't find any clues here, but he can take the name of entering the palace to restore his life and go to see his father. After that, if you ask about Danyang without a trace, you will naturally be able to expose the girl's old background!
And because of the lack of clue about the key evidence, the later Assassins disappeared, and even the people who stopped the Assassins ran away. Now, apart from keeping an eye on Danyang, which is abnormally appearing here, he has nothing to achieve.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan nodded happily.
"Okay, when I see this elegant room, I will go back to the palace and tell you, and you can arrange it."
After saying that, he turned around and strode back to the last private room.
At this time, his entourage had already finished the search and was waiting at the door to be on standby.
When Xiao Yan came over, without waiting for him to ask, his follower stepped forward quickly, bowed down and replied:
"Back to His Royal Highness, there is indeed a jade Guanyin here, and there is half-burned incense in front of it, and there is no other abnormality. Just ......"
Xiao Yanzheng was upset when he heard it, and when he heard the "just" at the end of the sentence, he immediately said happily:
"What? What did you find? ”
The attendant was a little difficult to speak, and after a slight pause, he took a step closer and whispered to Xiao Yan:
"It's in this room, whether it's the furnishings or the seats and other things that are used every day, they really don't look like those used by the nobles in the palace."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, glanced at the attendant, and after seeing the embarrassed expression of the other party, he immediately understood that the other party's words were all humble.
The so-called nobles probably refer to the coarse porcelain cloth used by Zhaoyi's first-class people, right?
Xiao Yan, who originally planned to go back to the palace directly after listening to the report, became curious again for a moment, turned around and stepped straight across the threshold, and walked in quickly.
Although he was in a hurry to return to the palace to resume his life, it was not too short of a while.
I heard that the old queen mother is a person who can enjoy it, and she can use inferior things, which even the little Zhaoyi dislike?
Xiao Yan consciously discovered the biggest suspicion, and the whole person was a little excited and excited.
