Another person who was innocently implicated.

Qi Changrong was silent, and there was a trace of sadness in her eyes, she was not hard-hearted after all.

Halfway, she couldn't bear to look away, and said in a deep voice: "Find a good place to bury it." ”

Receiving her orders, the guards rushed forward to help, carefully carrying the body away.

Only a small bloodstained shoal in place can prove the loss of a life.

The sun moved westward, creating a narrow shadow in the bend of the wall.

Out of the corner of the eye, a blurred figure flashed through the shadows.

Qi Changrong paused slightly, and glanced at Shi Chun.

The latter nodded imperceptibly and snapped his fingers in the air.

Immediately, a shadow chased through the shadows.

The corpses on the city wall added a layer of dark clouds to the already solemn atmosphere of Huangsha City, and the shops on the side of the street closed their doors one after another, and each locked their doors tightly.

Before going to bed, they put the sharpest thing in the house next to their pillows, as if this would make their panic a little less.

Fu Xiang returned to Pei's Mansion after nightfall.

He looked tired, dusty, and bloodshot in his eyes, and he hadn't had a good rest for days in order to squat at the suspicious caravan.

Again, the people in the room were still nervous.

Fu Xiang walked in quickly, Qi Changrong had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw him coming, there was no one behind him, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Master Fu, what about the prisoners you caught?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the prisoners are waiting for interrogation in the interrogation room."

"Where is the interrogation room? Take the lonely past. ”

Hearing this, Fu Xiang wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked at Pei Ji, who was expressionless, and then looked at Qi Changrong, who had a leisurely posture, and was a little embarrassed.

"This ......"

It's not that he doesn't want to, but the interrogation room in Jianzhou is not accessible to ordinary people, and the various interrogation and torture tools inside are even more bloody and diverse.

Qi Changrong has a noble status, if he is accidentally scared, it will be another trouble.

His hesitation Qi Changrong saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "What, you can't go alone?" ”

Pei Ji touched Fu Xiang's arm: "No, Your Highness can naturally go." ”

The interrogation room is at the government office.

It was dark, and the streets were deserted, except for a red breeze mixed with a little yellow sand.

Pei Ji and Fu Xiang rode their horses, and the two guards behind them waited by the carriage, one on the left and one on the right, and the whole street, except for the rhythmic sound of horses' hooves, there was only the sound of the wheels.

Two red lanterns hung on the embroidered roof of the carriage, illuminating the dark night.

Fu Xiang opened the road in front of him, turning his head to look behind from time to time, and when his eyes touched the cold eyes of the coachman, he only felt trembling all over, and quickly turned back.

"Hell yes." Fu Xiang was cold, holding the reins tightly with one hand, and rubbing his arm vigorously with the other, almost rubbing a layer of skin: "The prince is scary, why is it not simple to even be a coachman?" ”

Listening to his words, Pei Ji looked at the East Palace logo next to the embroidered top with a solemn expression: "The most complicated thing in the world is the Imperial Palace, followed by the East Palace, where can people who come out of the East Palace be simple?" ”

He remembered very well that when the carriage was parked in the backyard without any signs, it was no different from that of ordinary people's homes.

But after going out, the unique logo belonging to the East Palace was hung up, as if to show everyone her important identity.

At a dangerous moment when turmoil could occur at any time, Donggong's approach was so high-profile that he really couldn't guess what she was thinking.

"With them, we seem to be completely useless."

Fu Xiang knew that what Pei Ji said was right, but he was still unhappy in his heart, there were too many capable people around the East Palace, and they were like waste.

"Don't be presumptuous." Pei Ji raised his eyebrows disapprenorantly: "At most, they can only protect the safety of the prince, and when it comes to investigating the riots, they still want you to go all out, if you don't stay for a long time today, how can you catch the thief?" ”

Hearing Pei Ji's praise, the corners of Fu Xiang's mouth suddenly rose upward, and he couldn't help but be proud: "What Master Pei said is reasonable." ”

Without waiting for Fu Xiang to finish laughing, Pei Ji said softly: "However, the prince must not be in a good mood at this time, and you have nothing else to do in her eyes, after finishing speaking, the two of them were silent for a while."

Especially Fu Xiang, who was still triumphant just now, he didn't have the slightest smile on his face at this time, and there was only a little heaviness left in his eyes.

"At the end of the day, I'm not clean enough." Fu Xiang didn't expect that the fish that escaped would make such a big noise.

It's no wonder that Qi Changrong is angry, even Pei Ji's face is not good-looking, no matter who it is, someone retreats after spreading wild on his own territory, he must feel uncomfortable.

He finally understood why Qi Changrong didn't want to wait even one night and interrogate the prisoner in person.

The carriage was filled with dim candlelight.

The candle flame covered by the glass cup spread a gentle pale light on Qi Changrong's body.

Her eyebrows were lowered, and her long, curled eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes.

"Did you find it?"

Shi Chun shook his head and replied truthfully: "That person has done a lot of work, and he is extremely guarded, and the secret guard is lost." ”

Qi Changrong said lightly: "Being able to get rid of the secret guard, the kung fu is really good." ”

Although she left the Luo team in Shangjing for emergencies on this trip, she took the local team with her, and everyone in it was the best of the best.

The strength of the ground team's secret guard is even higher than that of the Luo team, and it is enough to see that the person is not a straw bag.

It's not a straw bale, and it's not an ordinary mob.

She had already guessed the result in her heart, and she was not surprised and disappointed if she didn't catch up.

Shi Chun understood what she meant, and the two didn't say anything more.

The palace that learned the news in advance was brightly lit, Qi Changrong got out of the car at the door of the mansion, and then walked towards the interrogation room where ordinary people were not allowed to enter.

The interrogation room was located in a very remote location, and there were heavy guards outside, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw the prisoner tied to a wooden stake.

In order to prevent them from howling indiscriminately, Fu Xiang ordered someone to gag their mouths.

The moment the heavy iron door behind him closed, Qi Changrong's indifferent voice also sounded at the same time: "Take off the white cloth in their mouths, you have something to ask." ”

The guards knew her status, and when they were given orders, they immediately carried them out.

Shi Chun looked around, moved a fairly clean chair and placed it next to Qi Changrong, and motioned for her to sit down and ask.

Hearing her call herself 'Lonely', a glint crossed the eyes of one of the prisoners tied to the stake, and when he looked to the side, he saw the other person slowly shaking his head, and his expression changed to blank in an instant.

Qi Changrong kept staring at them, and the change in the person's expression did not escape her eyes.

So, she stared at the other party and asked pretending to be nothing, "Do you know Lone?" ”

"The name of the prince of the East Palace of the Great Jin Dynasty resounded all over the world, and I heard that the prince led the order to level the southeast rebellion, when I saw it today, you must be the prince of Changrong?"

Qi Changrong bowed: "Your vision is good." ”

"Businessmen walk the world, no one has ever seen it, and this vision is still necessary."

"Merchant?" Qi Changrong provoked a smile on his lips, put these two words between his teeth and savored them, and said playfully: "Are you guys?" ”

Perhaps they were unaware that their fleeing companions had betrayed the fact that they were not merchants to some extent.

It's a pity that they don't know anything about it now.

It seems that the words that see through everything make Da'an's mind confused, and the panic that crossed his face is clearly visible.

He hurriedly lowered his eyelids in disguise, and kept picking at the wooden stake with his fingertips: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really good at laughing, we travel all year round, what else can we be if we are not businessmen?" ”

"Merchants carry a lot of sharp weapons with them?"

"When you're away from home, the world is difficult, shouldn't you bring some weapons to defend yourself?"

"It's not strange to bring weapons for self-defense, it's strange that you carry weapons that not only outnumber you many times, but also ...... It's not an ordinary blade, but a scimitar that is used by cool people. ”

Qi Changrong's tone was flat, without a trace of emotion.

The undulating tone made Da'an's face change drastically, and his eyes implied a monstrous aura.

In the name of doing business, they wanted to secretly hide their blades in case of emergency, but who knew that they would suddenly kill the gold halfway, interrupt all plans, and put them in prison.

It's hateful!

Fu Xiang next to him was stunned for a moment, looked at Qi Changrong in disbelief, and suddenly couldn't speak.

Sensing that something was wrong with him, Pei Ji touched his arm, suppressed his throat, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "What's wrong?" ”

"Did I tell Your Highness that the confiscated weapon was a Liangguo scimitar?" Fu Xiang was stunned, and he hadn't reacted yet.

"I should have said it, otherwise how would His Highness know?" Pei Ji scratched his head, also a little uncertain.

Fu Xiang's face changed slightly, and he shook his head in shock.

No, he didn't say that! After coming back, he didn't stop all the way, first back to Pei's mansion, and then came to the palace office non-stop, in the process, except for a letter to explain the situation concisely, he did not have any communication with the prince.

Even if it was that letter, it was borrowed from Pei Ji's hand...... He remembered very well that there was not a single word in the letter about the scimitar of Liangguo.

Because of the importance of this matter, it was too hasty to reply in the letter, and he originally wanted to report to the prince in person.

But now it seems that there are some things that don't need to be said by them, and the prince will know inexplicably.

It was as if a thunderbolt had fallen from the sky, waking up Fu Xiang, who was immersed in doubt, his eyes were full of shock, and he had a bold guess in his heart, maybe before he ambushed, the prince was already one step ahead of him......

At this point, the operation to catch the thief must have gone too smoothly, as if someone had secretly planned everything, and he was just following the route that the man had planned......

Fu Xiang lowered his head with a blank face.

If there is really one person behind the scenes who controls everything, it must be the prince of the East Palace.

Fortunately, everyone's attention in the interrogation room was on Qi Changrong, and no one paid attention to Fu Xiang, otherwise he would definitely find out about his gaffe.

Da'an's gaze stayed on Qi Chang's elegant face, and it took a long time to find his voice and try to confuse it.

"How can Your Highness conclude that it is a weapon of the Liang people? It was clearly made by my servants and used to bluff people. ”
