Rows of candles were lit in the room, and the light flickered, but it didn't look bright, but rather a little dark.

Yao Pu stared at the few pieces of paper in his hand, his expression solemn and a little unclear.

The subordinate bowed and waited quietly for questioning.

After being silent for a long time, Yao Pu took his eyes off the paper.

"What did you find these days?" He asked, "Then Mrs. Li really hasn't been to the west?" Haven't been to the capital yet? ”

"Yes, sir." The subordinate replied, "When Lord Chen went to work, Mrs. Li was already married, so she did not go to Minzhou with her. In those years, Mrs. Li went to Suzhou and Yizhou with Master Li, but she never went to the capital. ”

"Suzhou? Yizhou? Yao Pu hooked his lips, "I suspected that Xue Yijian was in Yizhou before, but I searched the entire state and county and didn't find him." ”

"I don't know if this person has the number of people who have flown to the sky, or if he has nobles to help."

The main purpose of his trip south this time was to arrest Xue Yijian, but he didn't find anyone else, but he found this strange thing.

The subordinate bowed his head, and Nono should be.

Xue Yijian is the adult's old enemy, he has been missing since he injured the adult, a few days ago there was a secret report that he had gone south, the adult immediately found a reason to go out of Beijing, vowing to catch him.

Yao Pu took the paper and looked at it again, under the light, his figure was cold, and the shadow fell to the wall, blocking the light of the candle flame.

There weren't many words written on it, but he read it over and over again.

"And a sister?" He finished speaking lightly, glanced at his subordinates, and blamed, "Why are you only a few words?" ”

The subordinates sweated on their foreheads, and immediately replied: "Lord Chen's youngest daughter was killed by mountain bandits on the way to Minzhou, and Lord Chen personally collected the corpse, so Lord Chen hated the mountain bandits. ”

"Dead?"

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates thought that she was not alive at that time, and the rest of the matter must have nothing to do with her, so I brought it over in a few words......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a sharp gaze staring at him, and he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake.

Yao Pu said coldly: "Did you see her die with your own eyes?" He crouched down and looked at him again, "Or do you want me to take you to the underworld, and then you can confirm whether she is there?" ”

The tone is leisurely, but there is a strong bloodthirsty flavor in it.

The subordinates hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "My lord, the subordinates will immediately go to investigate, and they will definitely find out the matter clearly......"

"Don't get out of here yet." Yao Pu straightened up, "In the past two days, I have to see the results." ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Wait."

The subordinate was just about to leave, but was stopped again, he stabilized the trembling of his body, turned around and asked, "Is there anything else to do?" ”

Yao Pu looked at the gloomy night outside the window: "Call Mu Ji over." ”

Muji is Yao Pu's right-hand man and has Yao Pu's trust.

As soon as he heard that Yao Pu was looking for him, he waved his hand and asked the person who was reporting the situation to him to go down, and he rushed to find Yao Pu.

"My lord, come to my subordinates, but there's news?" He asked respectfully.

Yao Pu's expression softened, and he threw the letter in his hand to him.

"Look at it." He said, "Originally, I was suspicious of Mrs. Li, but after I went to Li's mansion, I knew that she was not, but now that I see this, I feel that it can't be her." ”

"As for why her daughter is so similar to that one, I will find out the connection."

The ......

Muji put down the letter and said tentatively, "My lord, you are skeptical......

Yao Pu nodded, his eyes in a trance.

"Yes, I suspect that the third lady is not Mrs. Li's daughter......"

……

……

It's an incredible thing.

Muji couldn't help but swallow.

Hearing this, he suddenly felt a chill behind his back.

"My lord, the kid...... Isn't it dead? He asked, looking apprehensive.

Yao Pu glanced at him: "That child is dead, but we don't know if it's her child." ”

"I don't believe that someone as smart as her has ended up like this."

"It's just that His Highness was angry at that time and didn't let me investigate, so this matter was over."

Muji was silent.

There's a lot of stuff involved.

No wonder the adults didn't go to Xue Yijian, and they didn't plan to go to the prince.

If this matter is known to His Highness......

He said, "My lord, do you need to tell Your Highness about this matter......

"Not necessarily." Yao Pu raised his hand to interrupt him and took the few pieces of paper, "Now we haven't found out the truth of the matter, and blindly tell Your Highness, if this is not the case later, I am afraid that Your Highness will be displeased." ”

"Your Highness has been complaining about me recently because of Yu Dafeng, I must be cautious, otherwise, someone will take advantage of it."

Mu Ji nodded: "My subordinates also know that Lord Nayu often speaks in front of His Royal Highness, saying that your Excellency, you just want to find irrelevant people, and don't do important things." ”

"He was afraid but forgot, my lord, you are the one who has followed His Highness the longest."

The tone was very unfair for him.

Yao Pu just smiled mockingly.

What about following His Royal Highness for the longest time, the children of the royal family have always been ruthless, and they can even ignore sibling affection, let alone such a subordinate.

"You still let people spy on the Li Mansion for the past two days." He said, "I've got something for you to do while this is clarified." ”

Muji replied yes.

He thought of the report of Fang Cai's subordinates, and said, "My lord, a few brothers we were monitoring outside the Li Mansion were beaten for some reason, and I don't know who did it......"

"Beating?" Yao Pu sneered, "Useless things, I don't know who hit them when they were beaten!" What a rubbish! ”

"Is it the ...... of the Li Mansion?"

"It's not." Yao Pu shook his head, "They don't dare." ”

He was silent, and spit out a sentence with thin lips: "It's Zhou Yunzhen." ”

"The prince of Dingguo?" Mu Ji frowned, "Although his subordinates found him in Gwangju last time, he didn't catch anyone in the end. Now Lord Yu has sent several groups of people to look for him, and instead of running away, he has come to find trouble with us? ”

"What a hairy boy who is bold." Yao Pu smiled, "No wonder Yu Dafeng can't help him." ”

"There must be a reason why he did this, I think, it should be the fault of the capital."

He said lightly, "That's it, let him go, as long as he doesn't get in the way of my business, he can flee wherever he wants." ”

"Anyway, it's the person Yu Dafeng should be looking for, and it has nothing to do with me."

Muji bowed his head and said yes.

……

……

The silent alleys are long and silent, and the shadows of the trees are swaying and sprinkled on people's faces, and the silence is unusual.

The two of them were sneakily lying on the wall, looking at the few people who were also sneaky on the other side.

"Shizi, what do they say? It's all hurt like that, why don't you come to trouble us? ”

Cheng Ning tilted his head and asked, his voice a little distressed.

How do they get on with the rest of the work?

The plan of the prince is to teach them a lesson first, and then let these people know by the way that the prince did it because he was chased and killed because he was angry and ashamed, and when the news reaches the capital, it will be fun.

But now, they don't seem to care about being beaten......

Zhou Yunzhen patted him on the head and lowered his voice: "I look at their appearance, they are going to defend the Li Mansion." ”

"Is Yao Pu so miserable now? Even if the people under him were injured, they couldn't afford to hire a doctor, and they couldn't send another person to guard them. ”

"What the hell is going on? The subordinates really want to know. Cheng Ning muttered, "Can you ask that Miss Li?" ”

"Of course not!" Zhou Yunzhen glared at him, "We have nothing to do with other people, we can't find anyone else, and if you ask her, you can't ask anything, what if you startle the snake and are discovered by Yao Pu?" ”

That's right.

Cheng Ning shut up.

"Alright." Zhou Yunzhen jumped down from the wall, "It's not early today, I'm tired of this life, find an inn and have fun!" ”

What kind of pastime......

The children of the powerful in the capital said that they wanted to go to the Qinglou, which was called a pastime, and the prince went to the inn, which was at most a stay.

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhou Yunzhen disappeared.

Cheng Ning hurriedly flew down: "Wait for me, Shizi!" ”

The sound spread through the empty alley.

"Do what?"

Zhou Yunzhen poked her head out from the intersection in front of her and asked slowly.

His eyes seemed to be filled with stars in the sky, shining in the hazy night, and the mole on his brow was faint, but he looked handsome and peaceful.

But his next sentence instantly shattered this illusion.

"What do the ghosts cry wolf on the big night!" Angry, he was forced to lower his voice by this situation.

Cheng Ning suddenly fell silent and followed behind him in a gloomy manner.

The figures of the two became farther and farther apart, slowly disappearing at the mouth of the alley.
