Zhu Jian went out of the Linchuan Palace, did not go straight across the Xiangsi Bridge to the west of the palace gate, but walked south along the Qingxi, he walked this way, although his eyes looked straight ahead, but the afterglow glanced at the pedestrians coming and going on the left and right from time to time, it was clear that he was looking for someone, or to discuss with people, and meet here.

He had walked to the southwest corner of the Linchuan Palace, and suddenly saw a scholar wearing a wide-sleeved robe, wearing a scarf on his head, and stepping on a square-headed clog, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his mouth was slightly open.

Although this scholar is a man, his gait is quite graceful when he can walk, and there is a very heavy fragrance of fat powder on his body.

Zhu Jian caught a glimpse of the scholar walking into the long alley, so he followed him, but when he turned into the alley, he raised his eyes but there was no trace of the scholar, he also knew that this long alley was hidden, and there were dozens of alleys and alleys in it, and the scholar must have been hiding in a corner waiting for him, so he simply walked all the way forward, and sure enough, after passing a dead end, he heard a soft shout: "Zhu Langjun." ”

He followed the prestige, and saw the scholar with his arms folded, leaning sideways against the wall, and looking at him with silky eyes hooked at the corners of his lips, so he glanced left and right, and saw that there was nothing unusual around, so he hurriedly walked into the alley in three steps and two steps.

"Sir, well."

Zhu Jian saluted the scholar respectfully, but the scholar just raised his hand casually, and said in a strange voice: "No need, Deng is just sending you a message in the name of His Royal Highness." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Lian's head hung lower, and with such an attitude, it was as if he was receiving a holy decree.

"Your Highness means that if you want to proceed according to the original plan, the jailer is in the restaurant across the bridge, and as for the court lieutenant office—" The scholar said this, pausing deliberately, and then hinting: "I have also told you, now I am only waiting for the fish to be baited." ”

"Understood!" Zhu Jian immediately agreed, without the slightest hesitation.

The words had been brought, and the scholar glanced at the mouth of the alley, and said coldly: "You go first." ”

At this time, Zhu Jian hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir...... Xie Guifei's reply, King Linchuan said that there must be more than one, Yuxian was worried, that reply ...... Eventually, it will fall into his hands, and then it will get in the way of our actions. ”

The scholar laughed and said very confidently: "Concubine Xie replied to three letters, in addition to the one I burned, the other two, one in the hands of King Wuling, and one more, let the people of the county lord of Hengyang intercept it, and it can't fall into his hands, not to mention that on the letter, Ben didn't reply anything, even if he got it, it wouldn't hurt." ”

Zhu Jian was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that they are also nearby?" ”

"You go out of the long alley, go to the west of Xiangsi Bridge, there is a stall selling duck blood soup under the bridge, the stall owner is called You Xiao, he is a capable cadre under the lord of Hengyang County, the two people who sat at the second table to eat, changed four or five waves, they are all spies from Wuling Palace, they have been there for a long time, so you go back as soon as possible, so as not to make them suspicious."

"Yes," Zhu Lian still had something to say, he stood up again, and cautiously tentatively said, "It's just...... Yuxian still has one more thing, I don't know...... When will His Highness return to Beijing? ”

"When this matter is done, are you still afraid that Concubine Xie will not be in a hurry to ask His Highness to come back?" The scholar seemed to have seen through Zhu Lian's thoughts, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness has all the merits in your heart, and when he comes back, your benefits will definitely be indispensable!" ”

Zhu Jian was a little relieved, and did not forget to pat the sycophants of the scholars, and said: "Then there is Mr. Lao Deng to carry it!" Yuxian retired. ”

Since Zhu Lian walked out of the Linchuan Palace, You Xiao on the other side of Qingxi has sent someone to keep an eye on him, and the informant followed him all the way to the entrance of the alley, just because the tracking in the alley was too obvious, he has been standing at the entrance of the alley, and now he saw Zhu Jian coming out of it and returning to the palace, so he did not follow, he looked at You Xiao in the distance, You Xiao only gave him a look, he already understood, so he continued to stay at the entrance of the alley and waited for the opportunity to follow the person who connected with Zhu Lian.

However, the Nashi people are also a master, acting extremely cautiously, since they also noticed that there were people staring at the entrance of the alley, they did not walk out of the alley openly, but climbed over the wall into the courtyard of other people's houses, and walked out from the back door of others, and they arrived at another street, and this street also happened to be Yanfu Street in front of Changsha Wangfu.

The informant didn't know about this, and still stayed at the entrance of the alley, hooking his head from time to time to look at the mouth of the alley, because he hadn't seen anyone come out for a long time, You Xiao immediately motioned for him to go in and have a look, only to find that the person had disappeared.

You Xiao was annoyed in his heart, but it was too late, so he had to give up.

Speaking of which, it seemed that half an hour had passed since he left the Hou Mansion, and he sat under the shade of a tree, glancing at another informant who was eating at the first table, and the informant immediately stood up and shouted at him: "Boss, settle the bill!" ”

"Eh, here," You Xiao stood up, walked over quickly, and when the informant paid him a copper plate, he ordered in a low voice: "You quickly go back to the Hou Mansion to report to Xie Niangzi, just say that the King of Linchuan is here...... No movement yet. ”

"Yes," the informant turned to leave, and You Xiao sent off the guest with a smile: "Go slowly, come often!" ”

And Zhu Lian's side, he had already returned to Xiao Ying's study, Xiao Ying saw him, it can be said that his face was full of anticipation, he didn't expect that he was the eyeliner that others had placed beside him from the beginning, let alone that next, he would step into his trap and there was no way back.

"What about faith? Where is the faith? Xiao Ying stretched her neck, her eyes were as big as copper bells, and she was very out of shape, Zhu Jian pretended to be surprised, and said, "I didn't receive the letter...... However, if he finds a person, he may be able to get news of Tingwei's prison from him, or ...... Get rid of that scourge for Your Highness. ”

"Who?" As soon as he heard that there was a way to kill Lu Huilin, Xiao Ying was really overjoyed, and immediately got up and walked to Zhu Lian.

Zhu Jian replied: "His name is Ma San, he was originally a beggar, and he had a meal for him, and he met him at the right time, and he knew that he was now on an errand in Tingwei Prison, he said that he could serve His Highness, and he also wanted to ask the lowly post to introduce His Highness to him." ”

"Then bring him here!" The more Xiao Ying spoke, the more excited he became, but Zhu Jian said: "Your Highness, after all, he is the jailer of Tingwei Prison, Your Highness, you let him enter the palace at this time, if he is seen by someone with a heart, it will inevitably be discussed, so please move to another place to meet him." ”

Xiao Ying was really panicked, and walked outside the study without thinking about it, and only said: "Then you quickly take this king to see him." ”

"Yes."

Zhu Jian followed closely, and when he saw Xiao Ying's eager appearance, he couldn't help laughing, sure enough, when people are cornered, they are the hungriest ones who don't choose to eat, and it is effortless to coax them!
