"How? Do you have a clue? At night the next day, Tanglin Xun summoned Qiu Jingxuan and Wu Zheng into the palace, along with the crown prince Dongling Yi.

"The ministers are incompetent, and no useful clues have been found today." Qiu Jingxuan and Wu Zheng half-knelt on the ground, unable to hide their embarrassment and shame.

"Yi'er, what do you think?"

"Back to my father, this case is really suspicious, in the afternoon, the son went to the secret prison, one wanted to see how Shao Yang was, and the other wanted to get some clues from his mouth, but it was in vain, the son was soft and hard, and he still refused to say anything." Tanglin Yi stomped his feet and was very anxious.

"Your Majesty, now the public opinion of the people outside is also in an uproar, after the news of Hanyan's murder spread, her followers are all grief-stricken, shouting every day to get justice for her, and even worse, they actually say that if the government is incompetent, they can help find out the murderer." Wu Zheng told the situation in the city.

"Presumptuous! I think it is clear that some people have ulterior motives, taking advantage of the chaos to slander the court and disturb the people's hearts! The prince said hatefully.

Qiu Jingxuan, who was standing on the side, also spoke: "Your Majesty, there is another thing to worry about at the moment, many people know that Lord Commander and Han Yan have known each other for a long time, and Lord Commander has not shown up in the past few days, although the news that he is in the secret prison is tightly sealed, but there are still people who speculate that Han Yan's death is related to him, and some people are clamoring for Lord Commander to come forward, so if the matter spreads, I am afraid it will ......"

"Oh? It seems that the people behind the scenes can't sit still. When the emperor heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Seeing that Shaoyang didn't show up, he directly shook him out." ”

"If the murderer has not been found out after a few days, public opinion in the city will be boiling, and it will definitely get bigger and bigger, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to save Shaoyang...... "The prince and Sikong Shaoyang grew up together, and he has always regarded Sikong Shaoyang as an elder brother, and he heard his father talk about Shaoyang in the morning, and he was worried.

Wu Zheng thought for a while: "Do you need the minister to suppress the rumors?" ”

"Never." The emperor got up and said, "Let them make trouble for another two days." It's late at night, kneel down. With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

After coming out of the palace, Qiu Jingxuan and Wu Zheng said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways.

Wu Zheng pondered the current situation outside the palace, and now there are many rumors against Sikong Shaoyang, which must not be a coincidence but a deliberate act by someone with a heart. Tomorrow morning, the rumors will get worse.

Who is going to frame the Archon like this? Even when the prince asked, he refused to reveal a word, could it be that the person behind the curtain had a deep relationship with him?

When passing by a Buddhist hall in the east of Shangling City, Wu Zheng found that the Buddhist hall was lit with dim light, as if someone was inside. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, monks from Wankong Temple come here to give lectures on Buddhism.

"It's not yet fifteen, and it's so late, why is there still light in the Buddha hall?" Wu Zheng muttered secretly in his heart, so he got closer to see what was going on.

He stood on the edge of the gate and looked inside, and found a man standing inside, a man, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue with his head pious. Although it is strange to come to the Buddhist hall in the city alone so late, I think I really have some important wish to tell the Buddha.

Wu Zheng said in his heart that he was suspicious and was about to leave, but he heard the man sigh, and then turned around and walked out in the direction of the door of the Buddhist hall. Wu Zheng immediately turned sideways and hid in the shadow of the corner on the side.

Just as the man stepped out of the door of the Buddhist hall, Wu Zheng saw his side face, and suddenly a sense of déjà vu rushed Wu Zheng's brain. I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't remember that there was this person among the people I knew. After the man walked away, Wu Zheng shrugged his shoulders and walked towards his mansion.

said that Qiu Jingxuan on the other side came to Jingfuju and signaled to the guards who were still guarding the blockade of the restaurant that they could retreat. The interrogation of the people in Jingfuju all day, as well as the evidence in the restaurant, did not find any useful clues, and the real owner of Jingfuju behind the scenes, the Tao family, has already come to say hello, Qiu Jingxuan naturally wants to give them some face, and regardless of anything else, the Tao family will marry the Zhenguo Mansion in two days, and it is really ugly if Jingfuju has been sealed.

After the soldiers retreated, the shopkeepers, dancers and shopkeepers who were detained in the restaurant were all relieved, although they couldn't help but have some complaints on their faces, but they had already been released, and they all quickly left the lobby of Jingfuju.

Qiu Jingxuan came to the room where Han Yan rested and put on makeup alone, although he had searched here on the first day, he still wanted to take a look again, and there were no clues to follow now.

At this time, Qiu Jingxuan found that someone seemed to be approaching this room, it was getting late at this time, and after he gave the order, everyone should have left, so he got up to raise his vigilance, and subconsciously grabbed the sword on his waist.

There was indeed someone outside the door, but the person had no intention of hiding, so he knocked directly on the door and walked in, but Qiu Jingxuan looked guarded, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

Qiu Jingxuan took a look and found that it was a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old in the restaurant, when he routinely asked the people in the restaurant before, Qiu Jingxuan had some impressions of this child, but what he said at the time did not have any helpful information.

"Ahem, you haven't gone back so late, is there anything wrong with me?" Qiu Jingxuan retracted his sword and asked.

"My lord, there are still some things about the night of the accident with the girl with smoke, and I didn't say it in public during the day, so I thought about it and decided to tell you......"

……

"Young master, you look for me." Tao Zhongyu's entourage Wei San walked neatly into the study.

Wei San and Tao Zhongyu are of the same age, they have been by his side since they were children, they are loyal, they practice martial arts with him, and they are Tao Zhongyu's most trusted people.

"Sikong Shaoyang didn't show up, and there was no news from the government, I think the one in the palace should have hidden him in order to protect him, and it is very likely that he is in prison."

Wei San listened while following Tao Zhongyu's words and thinking about his next move.

"Now that Miss Su has agreed to marry you, and there is no Sikong Shaoyang to make trouble right now, isn't this a good opportunity?"

Tao Zhongyu shook his head: "I'm just afraid that I won't have a long night and a lot of dreams......"

Wei San has been by his side for many years, how could he not know what he thinks, and then nodded understandingly: "Without further ado, young master, I will do it tonight." ”

Just as Wei San was about to go out, Tao Zhongyu suddenly stopped him again: "Wait, once Sikong Shaoyang once saw through the fact that he drugged him with cigarettes, I almost ignored it, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Sikong Shaoyang can naturally easily detect the existence of poison." ”

Hearing this, Wei Cheng was suddenly shocked, yes, it is not difficult to let the people who are placed in the prison be drugged, but once Sikong Shaoyang finds out, it will not be unreasonable to arouse suspicion when he makes trouble.
