This room is small, with two wooden beds, a wardrobe and wooden chairs. He Bachun did not say a word, grinding spices in the small copper mortar: dried gardenias, hawthorn flakes, a little sandalwood. Footsteps came from the corridor outside the door, and Li Andu approached the door.

The soldier who was guarding the door noticed it and opened it from the outside.

"Who passed there?"

Li Andu has this benefit, even when he troubles others and begs others, he still has a condescending and natural momentum. He Bachun was young, and the people in the prince's mansion treated him as a child, occasionally discussing right and wrong in front of him, and never thought of hiding it from him. The crown prince valued He Bachun very much, although he was asked to do the smallest things: draft a letter, find a medicine, and attend a banquet in place of his master. But no one dared to underestimate him. Because that's what it's called intimate.

This kind of intimacy is because of the former He Baxuan.

The soldier was not happy or angry, glanced at the room, confirmed that there was nothing wrong, and he couldn't get too bad with Li An, and told him, "Wei Yao." ”

Li An didn't thank him, closed the door from the inside, and walked back and forth in the room: "Why do you find the coachman first?" Hou Cong What kind of chess is this playing, Hu Shang is dead, do you have to find someone to deduct the? What is the motivation? Kill somebody to do away with a witness? ”

Because Ang Lee was talking to himself, He Bachun never talked.

"Are you waiting for me to ask you?"

He Bachun was still studying spices, and glanced at Li Andu lightly, "Your Highness is leaving, let us all listen to you." Now, if you think of a knife, we'll all follow. You ask me, how do I know? ”

"I'm really going to ask you, who do you say if you were to let you in in a moment? In this way, Murong Xing's people, even if they really killed people, how could Hou Cong move them? We put everything on those two women. ”

He Bachun knew that Li Andu was talking about Ling Xiao Bixiao.

The work in He Bachun's hand finally stopped, "Captain Li, if you want to pour dirty water on people, you have to have dirty water to splash!" Ling Xiao Bixiao has served the third princess and Mo Chang, and she is not familiar with us. What kind of black material do we have? Now make one, do you think General Xiaohou and His Royal Highness King Yangxian can believe it? ”

Ang Lee is a scholar and a person with a ghost in his heart, this kind of person, no matter how ambitious he is, at this time, he will always be pressed out of a panic.

He Bachun looked at Li Andu with a straight face, "You don't need to say what you don't know. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Who killed Hu Shang, we don't know. You also know that General Xiaohou is going to take a knife at the people under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and find an ugly one. Then say you know. Isn't it good to keep yourself first? When no one is watching, send a letter to the prince in the capital, and it will be over. ”

Li Anduan sat down steadily, "Do you have someone to say?" ”

"I'm going to talk about you."

Li Andu took a deep breath and waited for He Bachun to explain.

"I know you're from Lord Jane's side who switched to the crown prince. Well, this thing sounds disgraceful, and naturally meets the conditions for mutual defacement. However, it may make Hou Cong and them think that you are not the prince's real confidant, and it is unknown whether you will save your life. ”

Li Andu smiled, "I don't have any friendship with you, you save me?" ”

He Bachun's face changed, "What do you mean by this?" My brother didn't want his life for the sake of the prince! Although I am not as good as my brother, do I dare to disown my master? The task assigned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is for you to take all of us to complete, and of course we must keep you. ”

Li An thought about it, and this seemed to be right.

Without waiting for him to ask, He Bachun gave him an idea, "You and I can't talk about the same person or each other in the first place. Since I said you, you can't say me. Wei Yao and Yu Tie have a humble status, and it is not interesting to kill, and General Xiaohou is not satisfied. ”

"The status is low, but it can be a protective color." Li Andu's words attracted the attention of He Bachun.

However, He Bachun didn't ask anything, but started grinding spices from scratch, "Captain Li, there is only one person you can say, Captain Jia." As for what effect it will play after that, that's not something I can speculate. ”

There was a second sound in the hallway, this time two opposite strings of footsteps. Li Andu gathered at the door again, and the soldiers at the door also opened the door for him once. He saw Wei Yao walking out and Yu Tie walking in, passing by.

In Hou Cong's room, Mo Chang and Hou Cong had just gotten an unexpected answer from Wei Yao.

Wei Yao believes that the murderer is Murong Xing.

That is, a correct answer.

This was originally a "unspeakable and unspeakable" thing that was originally placed on the surface, but a coachman actually said it.

"General Xiaohou and his subordinates are so meticulous that they can't even look down on Hu Shang. The little one lived on the first floor, leading to the stable room, which led to the room where Hu Shang was held. Except for Captain Murong and Captain Dugu, no one came in or out. ”

Hou Cong felt that this person was a little interesting, and after letting him go, Yu Tie, who was the second to come in, chose to expose Wei Yao: "The Buddhist temple where he grew up is a mixture of fish and dragons. This man is taciturn and does not understand the origin. The few small chats and asked him about his hometown before he became a monk, and he went over. Moreover, he seems to be particularly concerned about the every move of General Xiaohou and Miss Yuwen. ”

"Between Wei Yao and Yu Tie, it is likely that there is a real leader - the person behind Li Andu." Mo Chang said after Yu Tie left.

The third person who was called to Hou Cong's room was He Bachun. He just repeated his conversation with Ando Lee. Hou Cong smiled at him, "Well done." ”

He Bachun blushed, biting his lip, looking angry. Mo Chang felt that this excitement was very beautiful, so he didn't rush to let him go, and deliberately told him what Yu Tie and Wei Yao said.

"This may be a good protective color with Ang Lee's humble identity, right?" He Bachun asked.

He was there, and Hou Cong was always a little uncomfortable, so he nodded, praised him for being smart, and asked people to send him away and bring Li Andu in.

The two men passed by in the hallway without any eye contact.

Li Andu entered Hou Cong's room. first pretended, "General Xiaohou used such an unsightly method to stir up panic in the team, it was not a gentleman's doing!" I, Ang Lee, won't say anything! ”

Hou Cong likes him to act, otherwise, the hydrangea prepared for him can't be thrown: "Who are you doing this to show you?" The most suspicious person is you! ”

Li Andu raised his head slightly and sneered, "Hmph! No matter who bites me in front of them, they are insidious and despicable! I have a clear conscience! ”

Mo Chang joined the conversation, "Captain Li, you know, Hu Shang recognized you. ”

Li Andu's face instantly turned sallow.

Mo Chang's gentle smile became cold, he knew that Li Andu claimed to be a literati and had no one in his eyes, but in fact, he had suffered a lot and had no real confidence, and the closeness and mutual singing between Mo Chang, who was also dancing and writing ink, gave him a lot of confidence, nothing more than Mo Chang's attitude change, which could disrupt his psychological rhythm more, "What? You are so smart, so forgetful, but you have forgotten Hu Shang? People remember you, remember the time when the capital changed, you saved his life, it's a good thing. People saved you first, and I think that the painting, the people involved in the painting, must have nothing to do with you. And what about you, in turn, to kill him? ”

"I didn't kill it!" Of course, Li Andu recognized Hu Shang, and when it came to the past, he also understood that he should sacrifice one person to avoid more information being exposed, "The subordinates suspect Jia Fang." ”

When Hou Cong and Mo Chang heard this name, their faces were blank, like two clay sculptures.

Li Andu continued, feeling a slight numbness in the back of his head, "Jia Fang is the assassin who assassinated the crown prince in September two years ago. ”

Hou Cong saw that Li Andu paused, obviously waiting for his reaction, he said slowly: "Sit down." ”

Li Andu's face relaxed.

He believes that the current situation proves that He Batchun's idea is right, and it proves that He Batchun is worthy of trust and dependence. His brittle literati face absolutely could not bear to stand and be interrogated, and with a sentence of "sit down", he no longer treated him as a criminal, but gave him an attitude of "deliberation".

Unbeknownst to him, he was already in the game.

Hou Cong has always been cold and ruthless, while Mo Chang is gentle and gentle, in front of Li Andu, they sang the role of black face and white face, and they fell out, just to catch Li Andu off guard.

Li Andu sat down on the chair, and before he could say anything, Hou Cong showed initiative and cordiality again, "Wait, let me think about it." Jia Fang, a remnant of the Ping Dynasty? ”

Hou Cong's initiative was a great gesture of goodwill, which made Li Andu's heart more stable.

"Yes. The surname Jia is fake. His surname was Chen, and he was a member of the royal family of the Ping Dynasty that survived at that time. This is well documented. He blended into the Sky Sparrow Army, behaved very well, won the appreciation of the prince, and secretly, also won over some ill-intentioned people. In that assassination, He Baxuan died to save the prince. The people who Jia Fang had wooed were also killed, so he was left alone. The prince's magnanimity was exchanged for Jia Fang's bitter tears and swore allegiance. This killed a group of people - the soldiers who protected the prince at the scene knew that Jia Fang was an assassin, and if they wanted to turn Jia Fang from a thief to the prince's henchmen, they had to let these people who had protected the prince die. ”

Hou Cong understood why during the tracking process, Jia Fang's thunderous arrangement of reading and practicing swords and pianos was so consistent with the rules in the prince's education, and why the soldiers of the Kongque Army who died before and after the assassination of the prince had different arrangements for burial.

Jia Fang is also a man of conscience, he has poured all his wealth into the point that he has to run once a day - probably to pay tribute to the bereaved families of the soldiers who died for him.

Mo Chang began to ask Li Andu at this time, "Why did a remnant of the Ping Dynasty kill Hu Shang?" Do you think, is there a motive? ”

Li Andu seemed to have made a lot of determination, "That painting, it must not have been painted by the prince, Hu Shang is biting indiscriminately." It's just that the painting has been seen by my subordinates before, and I have seen people comment on it. Why did you draw General Xiaohou? Because it is rumored that you are also the royal blood of the Ping Dynasty, all the prophecies related to Mr. Water Dragon are just to say that the Ping Dynasty will regain the world. Jia Fang must have seen the painting, heard some prophecy words, and decided to do it. When he saw Hu Shang who was involved in the incident of that year, how could he let it go? ”

Mo Chang deliberately "chatted" a few words to Hou Cong: "Mr. Shuilong is tall!" The prophecy he left behind was divided into countless pieces, and no one had all of them. The books left behind, the disciples, scattered in all directions. No matter how powerful the magnate is, he will spend all his efforts to get at most one or two prophecies, see one or two books, and come into contact with one or two of his disciples, and he will never be able to form plans and do things like this. ”

Hou Cong nodded, but did not respond, but continued to ask Li Andu, "So, why did you save Hu Shang back then?" ”

Li Andu calculated the information that Hou Cong already had: He Bachun should have said something about Lord Jane - "The subordinates were originally brought to Datong City by Lord Jian, although the subordinates said that Lord Jian had a lot of needs, and the subordinates changed to the prince for the sake of their ambitions. However, Hu Shang often walks around with Master Jane, and his subordinates can be regarded as a favor from the former master. ”

Hou Cong smiled, "It's good, it's nostalgic." You go out. Someone, it's called Jia Fang! ”

In this way, in the corridor, Li Andu and Jia Fang passed by.
