When Xiao Rui returned to the house, he immediately found Jia Xu and told him what Emperor Xia had explained.

Jia Xu also fell into doubts, he boasted that he was very accurate in seeing people, but he could not guess what Emperor Xia did, and he felt that Emperor Xia was unfathomable, and very people could figure it out, but he believed that what he did must have a deep meaning.

"Since Emperor Xia asked the prince to investigate, it is naturally a test for the prince." Jia Xu smiled and said: "Your Highness only needs to find the Night King Xiao Heding, and if you find him, you will be able to understand the intentions of the Xia Emperor." ”

"Sir, can't you guess my father's intentions?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "I can't guess, Emperor Xia's methods are treacherous, and what he did is unexpected!" But I think it's true that he asked you to find out if the Night King is fake, and what he learned from the process and even from the Night King. ”

"What did you learn?" Xiao Rui savored it.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Emperor Xia is cultivating a prince who is eloquent and virtuous, and it is obvious that all the princes are not satisfied with Emperor Xia." So he started to train you. People's character is cultivated over a long period of time, and it is not easy to change in a few words, but if you do something yourself, if you are touched, you can quickly learn experience and knowledge. So I guess that Emperor Xia wants to make you feel something by looking for Xiao Heding, the Night King? ”

Xiao Rui nodded, he had never thought of this, and even felt incredible.

"Is this possible? Just so that we can learn? Xiao Rui was still a little incredulous.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Your Highness, the crown prince is the future monarch, he can be the emperor if he does nothing, he can be the emperor if he is cruel and unkind, and he can be the emperor if he is pro-government and loves the people." But tyrants are easy to do, mediocre emperors are not difficult, it is the emperors of the ages who are difficult. I feel that although Emperor Xia has brought prosperity to Great Xia, he still has regrets. That's why he wants to cultivate an excellent prince and achieve the most difficult emperor of the ages. For this purpose, it is impossible to overdo it. Do you know the allusion to the easy tooth cooking? ”

Yi Ya cooks and sacrifices millet just for power. And for the sake of the future of Great Xia, Emperor Xia uses the world as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces to choose the crown prince, what is not to do?

"This is my speculation, because I really can't think of any other intentions of the Xia Emperor." Jia Xu added.

Xiao Rui asked, "What about Xu Xianyang?" Is it really suicide? ”

"Naturally, Emperor Xia nodded and acquiesced." Jia Xu smiled: "It's not easy to commit suicide on death row in Dongchang, can Xu Xianyang really commit suicide?" ”

Xiao Rui sighed and said, "So, I killed him?" ”

Jia Xu nodded, stroked his beard and smiled: "It seems that Emperor Xia knew that His Royal Highness went to death row to see Xu Xianyang, so he ended the fate of this chess piece in advance." This is a small warning to His Highness, telling His Highness not to dwell on Xu Xianyang, his mission has been completed, and the next step is to find Xiao Heding. ”

Xiao Rui was silent, he thought that from the beginning of the murder in the hunting ground, Xu Xianyang's fate had been doomed, and he had entered the game, and he should have completed the test of Emperor Xia excellently, although he failed to bring down Xu Xianyang in the end, but he was already within his ability. Now that Xu Xianyang is dead, it is indeed the completion of the mission, don't ask again.

It's a pity that Emperor Xia only knew that Xiao Rui went to see Xu Xianyang, but he didn't know that he went to see Xu Xianyang to find Xiao Heding, which was the opportunity given to him by the system. So, Emperor Xia was afraid that Xiao Rui would investigate Xu Xianyang deeply, was he afraid of finding out something else? That's why Xu Xianyang ended in advance?

Quite possibly! Xu Xianyang can become a cabinet scholar from a poor status, can he do it by ability? Xiao Rui thinks that the most important thing is to get the emperor's grace.

So he didn't dare to think about it, Xiao Rui was afraid that the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

At this time, Jia Xu asked: "Your Highness, judging from the information given by Emperor Xia, he must have a good intention for asking all the princes to investigate the Black Lotus Sect, what does Your Highness think?" ”

"I want to investigate the clues provided by Xu Xianyang first, and start with Ludong Grilled Chicken!" Xiao Rui thought about it and insisted on his original idea.

Jia Xu agreed: "If you do the opposite, you may be able to have a better effect." Your Highness, tomorrow I will search for clues in the capital! ”

Xiao Rui bowed deeply and said, "Sir, there are too few people available around me, and this matter bothers you." ”

"Your Highness doesn't have to mind about the honor. With His Royal Highness's character, he will definitely be able to produce many people in the future. Jia Xu laughed.

"Borrow the good words of Mr." Xiao Rui also smiled.

The next day, Xiao Rui and Jia Xu went out of the house and began to investigate in the capital, since it is Ludong's grilled chicken, then first investigate how many grilled chicken shops there are in the capital, this does not have to be done by yourself, there are many professional errand merchants on the street, they are familiar with the streets and shops in the capital, directly find ten people, give them ten taels first, let them find out the Ludong grilled chicken shop in the capital, large and small, as long as it involves Ludong grilled chicken, it must be recorded in detail, whoever records the most detailed, who can get another forty taels.

Two days later, all five were investigated.

Then, Gao Quan compared the results of the investigation of the five people, distinguished the missing ones, and finally listed the relatively complete information of Ludong Grilled Chicken Shop.

What Xiao Rui didn't expect was that there were as many as 22 Ludong grilled chicken shops in the capital. There are 10 in Dongfang City, 6 in the slum area of Xicheng District, 5 in Beicheng District, and 1 in Nancheng District.

Xufu is located in the center of Nancheng District, and the door customers want to buy grilled chicken, and this store in Nancheng District is the first, a little farther away, there are two stores in Xicheng District and a store in Beicheng District.

No matter how far it is, it is a little far, and you can't go through the entire capital to buy grilled chicken, and go to the north and east of the city to buy it.

Next, it's time to go to these four stores and observe.

And in the past two days, several other princes have not been idle, and began to mobilize all their abilities to personally investigate the Black Lotus Sect. It is believed that with their abilities, the hidden part of the Black Lotus Sect in the water is gradually being revealed.

This grilled chicken shop in Nancheng District, called five-spice boneless grilled chicken shop, the shop is a two-story small building, the owner is a Ludong man, very enthusiastic, and the five-spice boneless grilled chicken is full of color and fragrance, famous far and near.

Xiao Rui and Jia Xu entered the store and asked for two grilled chickens, and the shopkeeper saw that the two were new customers and had never seen them, so they greeted them warmly and asked her mother-in-law to pack the grilled chicken.

Her wife has a large skeleton, one meter seven tall, with a slight smile on her face, and she smiles at everyone.

Xiao Rui observed it and didn't find anything peculiar. However, Jia Xu's eyes were vicious, and his eyes gestured to Xiao Rui, observing the hands of the shopkeeper and his wife.

Only then did he realize that the husband and wife's hands were thick and their fingers were thick, which was caused by practicing martial arts, not by doing farm work or labor.

This is really an unexpected joy, Xiao Rui didn't expect to find a clue just after coming to the first grilled chicken shop. But then, Xiao Rui discovered the secret again.

In one corner of the store, there is an altar dedicated to a black Buddha sitting on a black lotus. The Black Lotus Buddha was angry and angry, and the sacrifice was not a melon and fruit sacrifice, but a scorpion, centipede and other poisons.

Xiao Rui has seen from the information that this is exactly the way to worship the Black Lotus Sect.

This further confirms that there is a problem with this grilled chicken shop!
