Chapter 19: The Man of Thought
"Smack! Syllable! Ah~ Smack! Ahh ”
The leather whip was merciless, and the flesh of the white flower burst out with blood, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood.
"Say it or not!"
"Little ...... The villain is just ...... It's just a chore...... Really nothing...... I don't know. ”
Uncle Qian was beaten to death, and there was always only this one sentence.
"Old immortal!"
The prince was annoyed when he saw that he had half a foot in the coffin, but his bones were so hard.
People who have been beaten to half-crippled will not be able to please them if they are returned to Banyue.
Why don't you throw him into the river and feed the fish!
"Your Highness." Li Bufan came in with a letter from Jin Ning.
The letter was unfolded, the anger on the prince's face dissipated, and he laughed: "Interesting." It's so interesting. ”
Li Bufan came over to take a look.
Not many words:
"If Uncle Qian returns safely, the person His Highness thinks will get it.
Banyue.
Day. ”
"It is impossible for Banyue to hand over the witness evidence related to his own life for such a subordinate." Li Bufan didn't believe it at all.
If this "person who thinks about it" refers to the three bookkeepers, then isn't Yue a fool?
The three people he spent so much effort to save were willing to be used to exchange for such a dying old man?
Moreover, it means that he has no chance to prove his innocence in the future.
"It's not impossible." But the prince said thoughtfully.
I remember when I was a child, I punished a eunuch who was not good at doing things, and Banyue was willing to be beaten for him out of sympathy.
Do you think there's anything wrong with him?
"If so, Mr. Bookkeeper must be in his hands. The villain thought of a plan. Li Bufan's eyes rolled, and his face was shrewd.
"Say."
In order to destroy the evidence, Banyue attacked the officers and soldiers in the Scales Mountain, robbed the bookkeeper, imprisoned him in the general's mansion, and forced the three to perjury for him. We immediately went into the general's mansion to search, took advantage of the chaos to kill these three people, and then said that Banyue was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he killed people and killed them. ”
"There is no reason, how can you enter the General's Mansion?"
"What if an important fugitive swoops into his backyard?"
The prince laughed: "Li Bufan, you are really extraordinary." ”
Li Bufan looked flattered.
--------------------------
Not long after Jin Ning entered the door of the General's Mansion with his front foot, he suddenly saw a bird flying overhead, and then there was a sound of swords, guns and footsteps.
He turned around and saw a large group of forbidden soldiers coming from a distance.
"Where to run!"
"Squat! Squat down! ”
The family members in the mansion were so frightened that they hurriedly squatted down with their heads in their hands, and they didn't dare to come out, thinking that the general had committed a capital crime and was going to be raided.
Jin Ning ran away and rushed into the study.
"General!"
But I saw Banyue sitting majestically like a mountain, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.
I don't lift my eyelids.
"General, forbidden army! The Praetorian Army is all in, a whole bunch! Jin Ning reported in a hurry, forgetting that it was forbidden to speak loudly in the study.
"Be quiet! No problem. What are you supposed to do? "Banyue is still very calm.
What to do, is his favorite phrase.
Jin Ning didn't dare to disturb him anymore, turned around and went out, guarding the gate of the small building, holding his sword tightly, and vigilantly staring at the fierce forbidden army in the distance.
The general is not afraid, what are he afraid of!
Follow the general, what storms have you not seen?
He glanced up at the Nanmu plaque hanging on his head, took a deep breath, and calmed himself.
This plaque is the emperor's own inscription, which is equivalent to the gold medal of this attic.
He spread his feet a little apart, stood firm, and decided to fight to the death.
————————————
The guards at the gate of the General's Mansion have increased tenfold, and they are very majestic.
The prince carried a sharp sword at his waist, put his hand on the hilt of the sword, held his head high, dressed in military uniform, and stepped on the steps.
"Your Highness!" The guards saluted respectfully.
The prince did not squint, and stepped majestically into the threshold of the general's mansion, his eyes lit up.
It's so magnificent!
I saw the pavilions and pavilions, scattered, famous flowers and ancient trees, lush.
This is my second visit.
At the beginning, Banyue beat Yukou, and the good news frequently came to the temple, and as soon as Emperor Xuan was happy, this mansion was rewarded to him from afar.
He returned triumphantly and moved into this mansion, very low-key, and never took the initiative to invite people to come to the door as a guest.
I once deigned to visit him in the house, but I was closed.
The gatekeeper said that the general was in retreat and self-cultivation, and no one would receive him.
I was so angry that I never came back since.
Walking around the palace, the prince found that it was very exquisitely built.
This made me very unhappy.
Why is my father so generous to this beggar?!
Compared to it, his own East Palace is really nothing.
In a sense, it's much better than the East Palace-
It is not only close to the imperial city, but also outside the imperial city, which is much more comfortable than the East Palace.
As he walked unhappily, the leader of the Praetorian Army trotted over and reported:
"Report to Your Highness, except for the Meditation Pavilion, all the houses have been searched, and no fugitives have been found!"
"Where is Banyue?" He asked.
"Meditation Pavilion. The lower officials have already sent people to surround the pavilion. The leader gestured to a small separate building in the distance.
The small building is separated from other buildings by some distance, surrounded by green trees, behind the building is a rockery, in front of the building is an open flat land, and a small river is bent in front of the flat land.
"All the family members in the house gathered together for torture." He commanded.
If those family members can point out where the bookkeeper is, and go to see Banyue himself, there will be a welcome gift that will make him tremble.
Thinking of this, he wanted to laugh.
I have been fighting with Banyue since I was a child, and I seem to be addicted to fighting, and it is very uncomfortable not to win him.
However, after tossing for a long time, those family members, no matter how they tortured them, said that they had never seen anyone outside the house.
The prince was a little disappointed, and walked towards the meditation pavilion empty-handed.
------------------------
"General, Your Highness has arrived." Jin Ning came in to report.
Banyue put down the bamboo slip in his hand: "Please." ”
The prince appeared in full arm.
Pan Yue greeted him: "Why did Your Highness come in person?" ”
The prince's nose instigated, you can pretend to be innocent for me!
"Yaxing didn't disturb your study?"
"How can Your Highness bother? His Royal Highness came, and the puff was shining. Banyue said.
The prince smiled, Banyue, it's rare for you to pat people on the back, there must be a ghost in your heart, right?
"It's a very good house." He said as he looked around the study.
The four walls of the study are bookshelves and books. One of the root tea tables, with tea sets, and a stool is also a simple tree root, but if you look closely, you can see that the root legs are carved cross-legged, and the pattern is exquisite and lively.
The north window is a desk where Banyue reads and writes.
The style of the desk is matched with the tea table, and it is also like a thousand-year-old tree stump.
The seat is backed by the window.
Outside the window is a corner of the exquisite rockery scenery.
On the west side of the window, there is a nanmu screen.
Other than that, there is nothing else.
This house cannot hide people, and if you want to hide people, it is also behind the screen.
There are ink paintings on the screen.
The prince walked to the screen and pretended to admire the landscape, but in fact he looked at what was behind the screen, and saw that there was a hanger and a cloak hung there.
"There are fugitives who have infiltrated the general's mansion, for the safety of the general, this palace has to do it, otherwise how can there be time to come to you to chat?" The prince explained his reason for coming.
"Did you find it?" Banyue's eyes were as sharp as swords.
"You're the only building left unchecked."
"Then Your Highness means that this building hides the person you want to search?"
"Are you afraid of this palace search?" The prince asked slyly.
"Of course, the lower officials are not afraid, but they are afraid that His Highness will be in vain. At that time, if the emperor asks why someone searched the forbidden land, how will the lower officials answer? ”
The prince listened and felt empty.
This building is equivalent to wearing a gold medal for avoiding death, and if you can search for people, you are naturally not afraid, but as Banyue said, you can't find people?
With Banyue's demeanor, he is clearly not afraid of searching, so do you dare to search?
