On the dark long street, two carriages seemed to be on the same road, walking side by side.

"He seems to have discovered something, why did he stop me from killing him today?"

Suddenly, a muffled voice came from a carriage.

The other carriage responded: "Now is not the time, he has found something, will he suspect you?" ”

The former carriageway: "He should have found some clues, but I was not at the scene of the crime at the time, and nine times out of ten he did not suspect me." ”

The other carriage pondered for a moment and said, "I found out so quickly, this person is really a big problem, but it's a pity that he won't let us touch him." ”

"But if you let it go like this, I'm afraid something bad will happen sooner or later."

"Is it possible not to involve him in the case?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult, at least I can't, otherwise you and the one will find a way?"

There was silence in the carriage for a while, and after a long time, he said: "Forget it, I'll take some risks, if he really finds out something, you can make a decision and kill him." ”

With that, the two carriages came to a fork in the road, one of which continued straight and the other quietly turned into a fork.

The long street was deserted, and naturally no one knew about the conversation, and even if it was seen, it would be thought that it was just two strange carriages that happened to be parallel for a short time.

In Xu Rui's study, he had just finished his secret conversation with Liu Yi, and was about to take a closer look at the file he brought back, but the candle flame on the desk suddenly flickered violently.

Xu Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pulled out the Qingluan crossbow on his waist and aimed at the corner of the study.

"It's me."

A deep voice came from the corner, and then Li Kuang walked out quietly.

Xu Rui breathed a sigh of relief and inserted the Qingluan crossbow back into his waist.

Li Kuang looked at his appearance and frowned: "The reaction is so big, is the case very dangerous?" ”

"Don't mention it......"

Xu Rui waved his hand, pointed to the chair in front of the table, motioned for him to sit down, and then said, "You were tired today, right?" ”

Li Kuang sat on the chair and shook his head: "Time is too tight, I have been running back and forth for nearly a hundred miles today, thanks to my light work, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to Changxing City if I change people." ”

Xu Rui frowned: "Why did you just go to investigate the case at this time?" ”

Li Kuang's face gradually became serious, but he didn't answer this question, but said: "You asked me to check Tang Jiuguang's internal file, I secretly rushed back today to check." ”

"How's it going?"

Xu Rui asked.

Li Kuang shook his head and said: "It is said that Jinyiwei has monitored officials of all sizes, and there will definitely be internal files, and Jinyiwei has also been investigating Tang Jiuguang's corruption of the treasury before, but the strange thing is that his internal files have been transferred or destroyed." ”

"Destroy?"

Xu Rui's brows furrowed even deeper.

Li Kuang nodded and said: "Yes, there is no content about Tang Jiuguang in the internal file, and it was either transferred away in advance or destroyed." ”

Xu Rui sneered: "I understand what you mean, someone did something to Tang Jiuguang's internal file in advance, and took you out of Changxing City, it seems that this behind-the-scenes mastermind has a deep foundation, and even has a finger on Jinyiwei, the army of the Son of Heaven." ”

Li Kuang nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Have you ever thought about who this person will be?" ”

Xu Rui felt that Li Kuang had something to say, squinted his eyes and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Li Kuang said: "Judging from the facts of the case you gave me, this case not only involves the crown prince, but also implicates the king of Liao, these two people are the most favorable competitors for the prince, if they both have an accident, who will benefit the most?" ”

Xu Rui originally habitually knocked lightly on the table, and when he heard the movements, he paused slightly.

"You mean ......"

Li Kuang nodded: "That's right, it's the one who presided over the investigation." ”

"Yuwang!"

Xu Rui spit out two words lightly, he didn't suspect King Yu, just as Li Kuang said, if the prince and the king of Liao had an accident at the same time, King Yu would be the biggest winner, and the traitor had always made him angry.

The timing of the killing was too accurate, and the transfer of the guards of the Tang Mansion was also accurate, which showed that this person knew his every move very well, and if he could do these things, King Yu was indeed the first choice.

"But he's just a bare-bones prince, if he doesn't have a foundation, how can he mobilize such a huge force, and even the Jinyi Guard can be like a finger?"

Xu Rui asked faintly, as if he was asking Li Kuang, and as if he was asking himself.

Li Kuang said: "If there is someone to support it, all this is not an obstacle. ”

"Support?!"

Xu Rui was stunned again, and an idea suddenly popped up in his heart.

The crown prince has been declining in recent years, and the emperor's attitude towards him has become more and more impatient, and the risk of losing his position is increasing.

On the other hand, King Yu is not only the first person among the princes to control the six departments, but he seems to be appreciated by the emperor, and his mother family is weak, and he has no concubine, such a person is easy to control, if the Xungui group abandons the prince, it is not impossible to choose King Yu.

Also, the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow after all, the prince has been the prince for fifteen years, and it is inevitable that he will be lax and arrogant, and take the support of the nobles for granted.

But Yuwang is different, he originally had no chance of Dabao, if he was pushed to the dragon chair, but from the dragon's merits, the benefits of the Xungui Group will inevitably be greater than supporting the prince.

And this case is not practical with the support of the entire Xungui group, as long as one of the Prince Bao or the Governor of Hong stands behind him, he can single-handedly direct everything in front of him, and when the prince and the king of Liao fall, King Yu solves the strange case, his reputation is unmatched for a while, and the wind direction will naturally change.

The more Xu Rui thought about it, the more chilled he became, and he smiled bitterly in his heart: "I hope Zhao Heng doesn't do such stupid things, if he really does it, not only will his good life come to an end, but I'm afraid it will also affect me by the way." ”

"What do we do now?"

Just thinking about it, Li Kuang suddenly interrupted Xu Rui's thoughts.

Xu Rui came back to his senses, groaned slightly, and said: "No matter who the black hand behind it is, it is impossible for us to stand on his side, you have to know that now there is only one piece of heaven on the head of Dawei, that is the saint, whoever wants to play with fire under his nose will be burned to the ground in the end." ”

Li Kuang nodded: "Then let's find out about this case." ”

Xu Rui didn't answer, thought for a while, and said: "It's too difficult to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes now, so we can only start with the case itself, and when the case is investigated, the mastermind behind the scenes will naturally appear, and then it's none of our business." ”

"What do you need me to do?"

Li Kuang asked again.

Xu Rui said: "I found that Tang Jiuguang's finances are very problematic, and another point is that there has been a case of missing children, I always feel that they always lead things to female ghosts, as if they want to cover up something, let's start from these two aspects."

Now I'm the same as the emperor, whether it's the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, or Jinyiwei, I don't trust it, so I can only ask you to secretly help me investigate some information, but you don't have to be reluctant, protecting yourself is the top priority. ”

"I see."

Li Kuang nodded, got up and retreated behind him, and the whole person immediately disappeared into the shadows, this process was not only as fast as lightning, but there was not even a trace of the doors and windows being moved.

"This guy's light skills are getting more and more powerful."

Xu Rui sighed lightly, since he began to practice the nameless swordsmanship, he had some understanding of the martial arts of this world, and he also admired Li Kuang's light skills even more.

"Young Master, someone wants to see you."

At this moment, An Ge suddenly knocked on the window of the study and whispered.

Xu Rui was stunned, who would come to him at such a late hour?

And it turned out to be An Ge who sneaked up to report, which showed that not only could he not refuse this person, but also couldn't let people know his identity.

Xu Rui went around in his mind, but he still didn't guess who it was, so he quickly got up and walked to the door of the study, and opened the door.

Outside the study, next to An Ge stood a man wrapped in a big scarf and covered with a veil.

Xu Rui was even more puzzled, it was the height of summer right now, was this person dressed up like this, was he afraid that others would not be able to see that he had a ghost in his heart?

Just thinking about it, the man gently lifted the veil, Xu Rui's pupils suddenly shrank, and he lost his voice: "His Royal Highness King Yu, why are you?!" ”

"Brother Xu, save me!"

King Yu looked at Xu Rui and said in horror.
