Zhong Limu and Yan Linglast glanced at each other, in fact, the two of them had already guessed in their hearts, suspecting that these people were coming for them, but now seeing Lu Ci's actions made them even more convinced of this, and these people may be related to the people who assassinated them in the first place.

"Who sent you?" Yan Linghan's face was grim, staring at the man condescendingly, but there was no doubt in his faint tone.

The man forcibly supported his paralyzed body and bowed for a kneeling, then squinted his eyes and peeked at Zhong Limu, his body trembled slightly, and he said astringently: "The fifth prince spares his life, the little one doesn't know those two, but he accidentally bumped into them." ”

"Don't recognize?" Zhong Limu and Yan Ling Yan were both a little surprised, it seemed that there were still many people following them.

Lu Ci was also stunned at the moment, but what he was surprised about was different from Zhong Limu and the two of them, he never dreamed that the person he rescued was actually the prince of the dynasty, which made him a little unable to react at this time.

The man looked at the hem of the two of them's deep clothes, and his palms were sweaty, in this strange atmosphere, he couldn't hold back, frowned, and had to tell the truth: "The fifth prince, yes, it is the county lord, she just wants to know the whereabouts and condition of Prince Zhongli all the time, and she does not mean to disturb the five princes." It's just that I never thought that I would see Princess Liwu here. ”

"What proof is there that you are right?" Yan Linghan's expression changed imperceptibly, and the tone of the question obviously changed a lot, and there was a little less coldness and toughness.

The man took out a token from his bosom with difficulty, and handed it out tremblingly: "Five princes, please take a look, this is the token of the palace." ”

Yan Linglast took the token in his hand and looked at it carefully, his expression was relieved, and he actually hooked his lips and laughed inexplicably, laughing a little strangely, and handed the token to Zhong Limu beside him: "Brother Mu, it seems that someone is still worried about you, put this token away." ”

Zhongli Mu looked up at the gloomy sky, sighed heavily, half-hung his eyes and did not speak, and did not go to pick up the token in Yan Linglast's hand.

Looking at Zhong Limu's sad expression, Ling Xiao couldn't help but laugh as well, and quipped: "Third brother, you should be happy to have a beautiful woman treat you so sincerely, don't be worried." ”

"You know, Yuan'er, you have to blame your father for this, you have to lie to me to see Yanlingxi, and the result is just that, hey, don't talk about it." Zhongli Mu saw that at this time, except for the finch, several other people were looking at him and smiling meaninglessly, which was called helplessness.

It was enough for a few people to call it, and they didn't hold on to it. Yan Linglast turned his head, his expression became a little serious again, and asked, "How many people did she send?" ”

"Five, but three have been killed in that siege, and only two have escaped." The man told the truth, feeling that the atmosphere here had eased somewhat, and he was a lot more relaxed. Although he knew that he would definitely be punished, now that the misunderstanding had been explained, with the heart of the fifth prince, it would not kill him.

Zhong Limu gradually lost the helpless expression on his face, his eyes were slowly condensed and solemn, he lowered his head and stared at the man who was crawling at their feet, and asked, "What about the other person?" Also, what does that assassination have to do with you? Of course, he didn't think that Yan Lingxi was going to be unfavorable to him, but at this moment, at least he suspected that the person in front of him knew some inside information.

"The other man is still in the city. As for that assassination, I hope that Gongzi will investigate it clearly, and it has nothing to do with us, and I don't know who instigated those killers. On that day, we were going to save my son, but there were many people on the other side, and we were really invincible. The man turned to Zhong Limu with his weak body, knelt in front of Zhongli Mu's feet and bowed and bowed, he was already hesitant and difficult to speak, but now he was questioned by Zhong Limu like this, and his heart was panicked for a while, and his words carried a thick trill. He was really afraid that Zhong Limu would misunderstand, so he became a scapegoat for others for no reason, you must know that assassinating the prince is a capital crime.

Hearing the man say this, Zhong Limu remembered something, when Lu Ci and they hadn't rushed away, it seemed that there were a few people helping them resist those killers, but the scene was chaotic at that time, and they didn't pay much attention, just as they were all the way.

Zhong Limu's slightly frowning eyebrows loosened, and his eyelids drooped slightly, but he immediately fell his gaze back on the man, and his tone softened a lot: "Have you ever sent the news of seeing Princess Liwu back to Jundu?" That's what he's most concerned about right now.

The corners of the coarse cloth were already wrinkled when the man held it in his hand, and he could even feel that the hot palm was already wet and sticky, and in the face of Zhong Limu's questioning, he shook his head very low: "I only saw Her Royal Highness the princess today, and I haven't had time to send the news back." ”

Hearing the man say this, they breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. But when they thought that there might be other spies in the vicinity, or that those spies had already revealed Ling Xiao's traces, they had to worry again.

Lu Jingxing was a little annoyed at the moment, now that he was facing such a situation, he shouldn't have taken Ling Xiao out of the city at this juncture. But now it's useless to think about this, and I can only try my best to remedy it. But after thinking about it, my heart was a little relieved, and there shouldn't be many spies who came to follow them, otherwise the people in the Lu Mansion should have noticed it earlier, after all, there are many people, and the target is too big and easier to be discovered, and these spies know this truth.

The so-called secret agents are all professionally trained, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect their traces when they are acted. It's just that today they were unlucky, and they ran into the big nemesis of the old man with yellow taro, and they easily fell into trouble.

Now that they should have asked, the man probably didn't know anything else, so they didn't ask any further, but considered what to do with him.

"You can't kill him, you can't let him go, you can't leave him in the house, how can this be?" Lu Ci put his chin on his hand and thought for a moment, but the result was a distressed face, and he couldn't help but glance at several people, and they were all silent.

It's really like a hot potato, and they don't know what to do with it.

If they are killed, it will inevitably be a bit careless of people's lives, the key is that this person has no ill will towards them, but he was just ordered to do a ridiculous thing, and when Zhong Limu and them were killed, this person also helped him, and it was not reasonable to take his life.

And if you don't kill it, then there are only two options, either let it go, or detain it in the Lu Mansion, but neither of these methods is safe. If he still exchanged news with the people of Jundu, then Ling Xiao's whereabouts would probably no longer be able to hide. Moreover, this person also has an accomplice, and if he is detained in the Lu Mansion, he will definitely be aware of it, and he will still pass the news back to Jundu at that time.

The most important thing is that once he stays in the Lu Mansion, it will be a long time, but no one has so much experience and time to guard him all the time, of course, the Lu Mansion will not do anything to deprive others of their freedom and detain people in the mansion without authorization. Then he has a certain amount of freedom, and if he wants to spread the news, it will be a breeze.

Several people were in a dilemma for a while, looking at the void and pondering in their own eyes.

After a long silence, Ling Xiao's eyes suddenly moved, the sorrow between her eyebrows gradually disappeared, she glanced at the man casually, and her simple voice broke the quiet atmosphere among several people: "Detain him for theft, send him to the government, and lock him up for a few years." ”

"Hah! That's a great idea, I like it! If he is really locked up in the house for a long time, it is a little unrealistic. Lu Ci slapped his thigh, his face was relieved, and he looked down at the man and smiled very slyly.

Lu Jingxing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he bowed his head slightly thoughtfully: "Well, this is very good, just use the horse theft as an excuse, so that they will not be alarmed, so that they will be vigilant, and maybe they can also lure another person out." ”

"I also think it's feasible, it's just a crime of theft, if someone goes to redeem it, even if it can't be locked up for long." Zhong Limu nodded, but then a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

The law of the magistrates stipulates that if the offender commits a crime, if he redeems it at a high price, the offender can be relieved of the crime. However, such a condition of forgiveness is only used in the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles, and ordinary people cannot enjoy such treatment. Besides, if it is really a dignitary, I am afraid that it will not be able to do such a thing as theft. Zhongli Mu shouldn't have any doubts, but this person's identity is really special, if someone really wants to ransom him, it can be done.

Yan Linglast seemed to take a closer look at the token in his hand with interest, a vague smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his voice was leisurely: "Then beat the steward so that he doesn't dare to let go." ”

"It's interesting to catch the people of the Liwang Mansion in the name of the Liwangfu." Listening to Yan Linglin's words, Zhong Limu's face also had a meaningful smile, and at the same time his eyes fell on the token.

Today, this token is key. In this matter, Zhong Limu and Yan Linglast are not easy to come forward, but they have to knock on Huizhou Cheng, and they must have a certain deterrent. And now that he has this token in his hand, he can completely pretend to be in the name of the palace, and this kind of deterrence is enough to force the government to treat it seriously, even if another person goes to redeem it, he will not dare to let this man go easily, and that person will also be exposed by himself. Of course, the other person also has a token in his hand, but the token that appeared later does not play much role, and it can be determined that the other party's token is stolen, and then the government is suspicious and wants to interrogate, and that person is afraid that he will not dare to say the purpose of their coming to Huizhou.

After Zhongli Mu smiled lightly, he looked down at the man who didn't say a word, and asked, "Are you satisfied with such a disposition?" ”

"Prince Xie Zhongli, the fifth prince, and Her Royal Highness the princess will not kill, and the little one is willing to accept it." The man looked up at Zhong Limu, who was staring at him, and then glanced at Yan Ling and Ling Xiao, and bowed heavily on the ground again, his expression was mixed with a bit of pain, at this time he was extremely uncomfortable due to poisoning, but after learning that he had saved a small life, he seemed to be relieved, and he was grateful to Zhong Limu and the others.

Zhong Limu showed a satisfied look and nodded slightly: "Well, that's good, you will confess your guilt by then." "Getting the man to confess his guilt will save a lot of trouble.
