"No! My brother brought me here before, how could I be wrong? ”

Zhongli said this, and prepared to break inside, shouting as he went.

"Senior brother, I know you're in there! I was wrong, I shouldn't have made you angry, forgive me! ”

It's just that, on the way in, his eyes began to look at the entire courtyard,

The man hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Zhongli, but Zhongli ran inside when he saw the emptiness, and the man couldn't stop him at all.

Seeing that Zhongli was about to push the house open, the man waved his hand directly into the air, and several men in black flashed in the courtyard.

Looking at the few people who suddenly appeared in the courtyard, Zhongli knew that he was not looking for the wrong place.

"Stop him for me!"

As soon as the words fell, the people flew in front of Zhongli, and they were about to grab Zhongli's arm behind them.

Zhongli's figure was a little weaker than that of a normal man, and taking advantage of the gap, Zhongli leaned over directly from the armpit of the man in front of him, and stretched out his hand to push the door open.

But before he could see what was inside, the sharp pain in the back of his neck made Zhongli faint and collapse to the ground.

The man motioned to keep an eye on Zhongli, then turned back to the courtyard gate and locked the courtyard gate from the inside.

After doing this, they took the unconscious Zhongli and went to another hiding place through the back door of the small courtyard.

At this time, after General Wang received the news, he went to Baihualou to find someone, but he didn't find it, and he waited until he was about to have a seizure before he was told that the two people were in a coma at the door of their respective homes.

General Wang's face changed, and he went back to wake them up and interrogate them, but was told that he didn't know anything.

As soon as they entered the door, they were stunned.

And after seeing that they were not in danger, General Wang asked the man to take him to Zhongli.

It was only when they arrived at the Zhuangzi that they found that the building had already been emptied, and there was no trace of Zhongli's coming.

They asked the people living in Zhuangzi, and they didn't know anything, which made General Wang very helpless and even more annoyed.

He went back to the capital with a glimmer of hope, but neither Zhongli's Mansion nor Huo Yiyan's Qingyang Mansion had Zhongli's whereabouts.

He was really sure that Zhongli had an accident.

But when he went to Qingyang Palace, he was told that Zhao Yiyan had smallpox and couldn't go out.

Now, General Wang can only find Zhongli by his own means.

Zhongli woke up and looked at the clean and tidy room, he got up and opened the door, only to see two expressionless men guarding his door, and when he saw him come out, he directly raised his hand to stop him.

Looking at this situation, is he under house arrest?

Zhongli glanced at the situation outside the door and found that this seemed to be another residence, which was more refined and elegant than the Zhuangzi he was there before he passed out.

"Who is your principal? I'm going to see him now. ”

After Zhongli looked at it for a long time, he was even more sure that they had no intention of doing anything bad to him, and he suddenly became proud.

"The master told you to stay here, you can't go anywhere!"

What do you mean by that? Imprison me? If I don't just look for my senior brother, you will imprison me, no, I will report to the official! As he spoke, he was about to break out again.

This time it wasn't so lucky, the two of them directly set up Zhongli, pulled him to the room, and locked him up from the door.

Listening to the sound of the door locking, Zhongli looked at the window.

It turned out that the window had been sealed a long time ago, which means that he was now trapped here.

Being locked up here, Zhongli is not uncomfortable, in addition to being restricted from freedom, he is also served with delicious food and drink every day, and he is not tortured in any way, but the only thing is that he has no freedom, not even a person to talk to.

If it weren't for the fact that I wasn't a person of this age, I would never have been able to sit here for a few days.

The emperor has not seen Zhao Yiyan in the past few days, let alone seen him report the results of the investigation during this time, he sent someone to check on the house, but was told that Zhao Yiyan had smallpox!

"Bastard, why are you only here now!"

The Emperor was furious and shouted at the guards kneeling below.

It's really eventful, and the big smoke case here has not yet ended, and there is already smallpox over there.

Is this a bad omen for this year?

"Quanfu, immediately send the imperial doctor down to check on King Qingyang."

The Emperor spoke in a deep voice.

If it's okay, if it's okay, if there's something, the emperor suddenly frowned, displeased.

King Qingyang could only die on the battlefield and sacrifice his life for the country.

Otherwise, I haven't been back to the capital for so many years, and I have come back just now, but the god of war of the apocalypse was killed by a small smallpox, doesn't this make people laugh off their big teeth?

"Your Majesty, no! The imperial doctor is for the emperor and his relatives, and smallpox is contagious. Moreover, the emperor, you also had contact with King Qingyang a few days ago, and you want the servants to say, you should now let the imperial doctors give you and the adults a good examination, just in case, Your Majesty! ”

Quan Fu knelt on the ground and spoke.

The emperor's face changed at this time, and he suddenly thought that he had often asked Zhao Yiyan to come over to report the progress of the matter in the recent period, and hurriedly spoke to Quanfu.

"Quick, let all the imperial doctors come over, and first give me and the Empress Dowager and the princes and daughters a good examination, and there must be no mistakes."

"Yes, the minion obeys."

Quanfu hurriedly got up from the ground, and ran out of the smoke despite the crooked hat on his head.

But Zhao Yiyan didn't know that Zhongli's words caused a sensation in the palace.

Instead, after his injuries healed, he went directly back to the palace.

As soon as I got home, I was found by the manager crying.

"Lord, you're back! If you don't come back, I'm afraid the whole palace will be gone! ”

Zhao Yiyan raised his eyebrows and looked at each other, still with a cold expression.

"What's wrong? What happened during my absence? ”

So the manager told him what had happened recently, and after saying that Zhongli told them to tell the emperor that he had smallpox, he didn't react, but after being told that Zhongli was missing, where could Zhao Yiyan still sit still?

He rushed outside without saying a word, but who knows, before the person could lift up and take two steps, he was stopped by the manager.

"Lord Wang, you can't go out now, you can't go out! Don't forget, you're a smallpox person now. ”

If they can still hide it in their mansion, after all, they are all old people in the palace, but if they go out, this matter will naturally be self-defeating, so what about the emperor?

They're bullies!

Bullying the monarch is to kill the head, whether to die one or a group depends on the emperor's mood.

Zhao Yiyan spun around in place a little irritably, his expression extremely cold.

Damn, Zhongli is already missing, how can he calm down at this time?

After hesitating for a moment, he went directly back to the study, sorted out the clues he had found out before, and then asked people to take his token and send it to the palace.

It's just that the thing was stopped at the palace gate.

The person who delivered the things was not only quarantined, but after a good examination by the doctor, he was taken to see the emperor.

"Humph, damn it! A bunch of waste, am I going to die if I raise so many people? I can't even find out these things at the foot of the imperial city! ”

The emperor angrily picked up the tea bowl on the desk and smashed it to the ground.

The guard lay directly on the ground and shivered, not daring to get up.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair with a frown on his brows at this time, and the atmosphere was stagnant.

Baihualou, Baihualou!

Thinking carefully about the people around him, the emperor finally decided to let the fourth prince, Zhao Zijian, go to investigate this Baihualou.

Baihualou?

How could my father go to investigate a Qinglou at this time? And what's different about this green house?

Zhao Zijian had questions about the emperor's words, and the only thing that Zhao Zijian could think of was that the emperor had suppressed himself and the three princes a few days ago.

Does it have something to do with this?

But it's not right, if it's related to himself, why let him check it.

"Besides, I want you to keep it a secret! Can it be done? ”

"Yes, father, son-in-law will investigate immediately!"

After bowing, Zhao Zijian left the palace.

Zhao Zijian directly led people to Baihualou, and on the grounds of harboring important criminals, the sudden search made everyone in Baihualou panic.

"May I ask the fourth prince, what's wrong with our Baihualou, why did so many officers and soldiers come to search!"

Standing in front of everyone, the bustard's mother asked Zhao Zijian fearlessly.

"A few days ago, the imperial court cracked a major case, one of the prisoners escaped, someone reported that the prisoner was hiding in this Baihualou, and now the prince was ordered to come and search!"

Waving his hand, he signaled that he could not leave anywhere to search.

If Zhao Yiyan can investigate here, then there will be other people here, and the people behind the scenes have already begun to withdraw their forces from here.

Zhao Zijian searched around here and found nothing.

And the secret passage that led Zhao Yiyan away before was also closed after Zhao Yiyan found out, and Zhao Zijian naturally didn't find this secret passage.

Nothing was found here, and Zhao Zijian was not disappointed.

If the father had already found clues before, then they would have destroyed the evidence long ago to prevent the traces from being found.

No trace was found in this place, and Zhao Zijian did not give up.

He sent someone to secretly monitor the movements of all the people who came and went by this opportunity to see if they could find anything abnormal.

At the end of the day, except for the people who come to the brothel to look for flowers and willows, and then the people who buy daily life, there is no one at all.

The second day, the third day is the same.

After several days without finding anything abnormal, Zhao Zijian was a little skeptical that his father had made a mistake!

Just when Zhao Zijian was about to give up, his own people finally found out the news.

"Your Highness, last night, we found that the turtle slave of Baihualou followed a group of people to sneak into a private house at night, and only came out after a long time of entering. We sent someone to inquire about the situation in the house, and found that no one knew who lived in it, so we thought it was very suspicious and came to report it. ”

Zhao Zijian listened to the guard's report, and also felt that there must be something wrong with that family.

If it is the girls of Baihualou, it is forgivable, but they are indeed turtle slaves.

"Don't clean up the snake yet, gather everyone, and we'll go and kill it tonight. Now send someone to keep an eye on it, and report it immediately if there is a problem! ”

"Yes! Subordinates will do it! ”

At night, Zhao Zijian sneaked into the door with the guards late at night.

After listening to no movement inside, Zhao Zijian gave an order, and everyone immediately attacked it.

Zhongli, who was asleep, was woken up by the sound outside, he got up and got out of bed and went to the door, putting his ear to the door and listening carefully to the movement outside the door.

At this moment, the originally closed door of the room was suddenly opened, and someone quickly tied Zhongli to the bed and lowered his voice to speak.

"Zhong Gongzi, we are all understanding people. Go out, and please don't say a word. ”

After that, just leave.
