Chapter Forty-Eight: New Clues
When Xiao Yuexi spoke with her voice suppressed, her tone was low, inexplicably and a little magnetic, especially when she dragged a long tone, it was a little bewitching, and she asked in a deep voice: "You just said that you didn't follow the prince for long, right?" ”
Xiao Wumu nodded dumbly: "Yes." ”
The corners of Xiao Yuexi's mouth rose slightly, and she continued to ask: "Why is it that your prince is so troubled, and during the time you follow him, do you often encounter the danger of being outnumbered?" ”
“…… No, it's not. ”
Xiao Yuexi smiled: "That's strange, this little brother, you probably know your prince too well, right?" ”
The little guy seemed to panic for a moment, and then said: "Pay more attention to the prince's thoughts, I, our subordinates, and the subordinates will serve more and more thoughtfully." ”
"Oh-" Xiao Yuexi dragged out another long tone and looked at him meaningfully. At the end, he added: "There is so much knowledge in serving people, and I have been taught!" ”
In just a few conversations, Xiao Wei kept revealing flaws, as if he was afraid that others would not think he was suspicious, and even Huang Lian, who had little contact with the case, found out that something was wrong.
Huang Lian said angrily: "Don't you feel contradictory about what you said?" Do you know anything else? ”
The little guy looked a little flustered: "No! Villain, villain really doesn't know anything! This ...... This prince is missing, and it's no good for us to be slaves, villain......"
"Enough!" Wei Chang, who had been silent, finally interrupted impatiently: "Escort this person down, when is he dissatisfied with his nonsense, when will he be questioned again!" ”
"Wait! Wait a minute! I say I! I'll say everything! The little guy shouted as the two government soldiers set him up and dragged him out.
However, Xiao Yuexi didn't want to give him this opportunity, and sneered: "There is no truth in his mouth, so don't listen to it!" ”
Wei Chang waved his hand, and the two government soldiers would understand, plug the mouths of the little guys, and drag the people away cleanly.
Huang Lian was a little puzzled, and said, "Lord Wei, this person, this person must know something...... Is this really not necessary to be tried again? ”
Wei Chang said indifferently: "This person is full of nonsense, it is useless except to disturb the audio-visual, listening to his nonsense, you have to bother to argue the truth and falsehood, it is better not to listen to it from the beginning!" ”
In the end, it is a person who has been dealing with the case all the year round, and his observation and judgment are sharper than ordinary people. Wei Chang looked at Xiao Yuexi and asked, "Young Master Xi, what do you think?" ”
This Dali Siqing frequently asked for the opinion of that Xi Gongzi, which made Huang Lian's heart a little more puzzled, and he could almost conclude that this Xi Gongzi was definitely not as simple as a guest in Wei Chang's Mansion.
Sensing that Huang Lian's gaze was cast again, Xiao Yuexi didn't panic, just hooked the corners of her mouth and said, "This person appeared at the right time!" His Royal Highness King Xian has been missing for so many days, what problems has Lord Huang heard? ”
At the mention of this, Huang Lian suddenly became angry, and forgot all kinds of speculations and assumptions in his mind, and said indignantly: "After I sent the messenger away that night, I immediately called all the people who served the prince on weekdays, whether it was from my house or brought by the prince, and asked them one by one. The child's name just now was Youliang, and he looked stupid at the time, asking everything was 'I don't know', and he was so frightened that he cried when he asked in a hurry, where was there so many words just now? Those who don't know think he's possessed by a demon! What's going on! ”
Xiao Yuexi asked, "What about the others?" Even if His Royal Highness King Xian rests, there will always be someone on duty, right? What about the people on duty? ”
Huang Lian's slightly fat head shrugged down, and he confessed for a while: "The prince didn't bring a few people with him, and the guards are still the soldiers in my house." The two fools saw that there was nothing to do in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, they actually found a place where no one was there to sleep...... It's a dereliction of duty! ”
Wei Chang frowned, but he didn't have a seizure. Judging from the current situation, His Royal Highness King Xian left by himself, and it has nothing to do with whether the guards are lazy or not. The most important thing at the moment is to find his whereabouts.
Xiao Yuexi seemed to think of something, and walked around the room without saying a word.
This little guy called Youliang has been inconspicuous and leaky, until they arrived in Binzhou, they suddenly showed their feet, combined with the previous everything, Xiao Yuexi can think of the only possibility, that is, he is waiting for them, and even very likely, he is waiting for her.
That hidden strength, has your hand reached Prince Xian's side? If this is the case, Prince Xian may not have left on his own. In the house, there must be any clues, a clue that others will ignore and only Xiao Yuexi knows. So, is it really hidden that she quietly went out of the palace to accompany her? Is it really not noticed by them?
An invisible net shrouded in the night sky, and the net collector hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity, ready to capture the target in one fell swoop......
What exactly is their purpose? Kill her? The reason? What kind of jade is she carrying?
The doubts in his heart surged out layer after layer, but Xiao Yuexi's eyes kept searching in the small room, King Xian had been missing for several days, and this clue would either not be there at all, or it would be left in a very conspicuous place. Xiao Yuexi was more inclined to the latter, if they really wanted to lead her to track it down......
Xiao Yuexi walked to the side of the bed and stopped.
The quilt is spread neatly and neatly on the couch, which proves that the people who live here have not touched the bed. Gently lifted the quilt corners, and no abnormalities were found underneath. However, when Xiao Yuexi was possessing and checking, he suddenly noticed a trace of abnormality.
It was a soft pillow, soft to the touch, and it should be stuffed with high-quality silk cotton, with common soothing spices, it must be very comfortable on the pillow. But among the common soothing spices, there seems to be an uncommon smell, faint, almost inaudible.
Huang Lianmu looked at the strange man holding the pillow and smelling it, and suddenly felt that the second monk was confused, and turned his head to ask, but saw Wei Chang waving his hand at him, so he didn't dare to say much, and looked at the young man again. It didn't matter if I looked at it, but I saw that the man's gaze was cold, and he put the pillow back in its place and strode over.
Wei Chang hurriedly asked, "Young Master Xi, did you find anything?" ”
Xiao Yuexi didn't shy away from it, and replied quickly: "The problem is on the pillow." The Department of Supervision and State has developed a kind of incense, called 'Drunken Dream', the medicine is as its name, just a little is like getting drunk, enough for people to sleep for three days and nights, but the drug sees the wind, it will fail in a few hours, it is extremely difficult to store, the material is not common, the cost is too high, and then the development was stopped. The pillow should have sprinkled a little drunken dream, stunned His Royal Highness King Xian, and then resisted the people unconsciously, and the bed was probably an illusion made by them, misleading our prince to go by himself. ”
Huang Lian was still in shock, and he didn't have time to think about why this mysterious prince knew so much about the affairs of the Prison Division, and only asked: "What does Xi Gongzi mean, this matter may be related to the Prison Division?" ”
Xiao Yuexi wanted to rub her eyebrows with a headache, but suddenly remembered that her face was very expensive, so she had to give up. "It's the Department of Prison and the State Department is in trouble......" Ye Wanxiao, who escaped death from Binzhou and returned to the capital, woke up with the first testimony that he was making a rebellion, and now the disappearance of King Xian is related to the Department of Prison, and the piles are directly pointed at the Department of Prison, and the people in the secret, against her, against Ling Suihan, dismantle the Department of Prison, what is the purpose?
Xiao Yuexi groaned: "Lord Wei, write an excerpt to the emperor and report all the current discoveries." After speaking, he realized that his tone was too tough, and it really didn't look like the words and deeds of a doorman.
However, Wei Chang would not bother with her, and Huang Lian was even more shocked by the sudden clue.
Wei Chang nodded and replied happily: "Okay." Do you want to take a break first? ”
Xiao Yuexi shook his head: "Master Wei, borrow me a few people, and I'll go around the neighborhood." If the other party really wants to wait for the rabbit, then she will definitely have a new harvest when she goes out like this.
Although she was a little adventurous, the uneasiness and doubts in her heart almost overwhelmed her, and how could she rest if she didn't do something?
Although Wei Chang didn't know the twists and turns, he instinctively felt that this was inappropriate, and refused: "No! At such a late hour, you are risking your life like this. In case something goes wrong...... "He doesn't need to write an excerpt and hand it to the capital, just send his head to the emperor!"
Xiao Yuexi frowned and didn't say much, but she had already made up her mind in her heart.
After hastily eating dinner, Li Ran hadn't come back yet, so he sent his past servant back, saying that he had stayed in the epidemic center and helped the local barefoot doctor prepare herbs to repel the epidemic, so that they could look for him again tomorrow.
Xiao Yuexi didn't worry much about him, after all, he was someone Mu Yunqing trusted, and Xiao Yuexi instinctively divided the two into one category - they were both good at hiding deeply.
When the servants of the Huang Lian family brought in the bath water, Xiao Yuexi asked casually: "By the way, this little brother, do you know where Ling Zheng, the prisoner of the State Division, disappeared?" ”
The servant was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "This ...... The villain is not very clear, it should be in the south, and the later people from the State Department went in that direction. ”
"Oh-" Xiao Yuexi knew in his heart, although the direction was general, but the south was barren mountains, if there were any rampant mountain bandits, it would make sense to hide there.
After sending away the people sent by Huang Lian to serve her, Xiao Yuexi took off her dough and soaked it in the water, looking at the reflection in the water for a while.
There are thousands of thoughts in my head, and several major events that seem to be closely related have their own branches, as if they are to be divided into independent individuals, each of which forms an intricate chess game on the chessboard, and everyone stands on the chessboard.
