In front of King Wu's Mansion, Xia Mingji, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was dressed in official uniform, followed by a group of officials of the Criminal Department.

He hesitated for a moment, but then ordered someone to come forward and call the door.

After a few clicks, the door opened from the inside, Han Feng walked out and glanced at it a few times, and asked, "I don't know what happened to the adults?" ”

"This official received a secret report that the thief who killed the six princes broke into the Wuwang Mansion and came to arrest the thief." After Xia Mingji finished speaking, he motioned for his subordinates to enter the mansion.

Han Feng took a step forward, blocked the door, and said, "Lord Shangshu, this is the prince's mansion after all, you led your troops to break into the mansion late at night, dare to ask, but you came here at holy will?" ”

"Your Majesty has a decree, all departments involved in this case can first investigate and then report, ask the emperor's relatives, and try hundreds of officials." After Xia Mingji finished speaking, he said: "This official has no intention of embarrassing the government, and I hope that the government will not embarrass the official." ”

"Your Highness is asleep, so I'd better wait until the last general has passed the ceremony." Han Feng said that he was about to close the door.

Xia Mingji's face was cold, and he was about to give the order to break directly -

"Lord Xia, Lord Xia, you wait for the next official." A coarse call could be heard in the distance.

Xia Mingji frowned and looked at that place, "Lord Jiang? Why are you here too? ”

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan received a secret report..."Jiang Hetong stopped trotting, calmed his breath, and took out the paper ball from his arms, "This is said above, the archer broke into the Wuwang Mansion, and the Xiaguan didn't hurry up to bring someone to protect the Wuwang Prince." ”

Xia Mingji glanced at him strangely, and said lightly: "Then Lord Jiang go and protect Prince Wu, this official is going to search for thieves." He said, waving his hand and ordering.

As soon as the officials of the Criminal Department rushed to the front of the house, another group of people came in the distance.

The leader is Liang Xu, the squire of the military department.

"It's hilarious." Liang Xu turned over and dismounted, led the troops to the front, and greeted the two of them with his hands.

"Lord Liang, this king is also trying to say this!" Zhao Chen, who didn't know when he came out, was wrapped in snow-white clothes, half-leaning on the door of the mansion and said with a smile: "It's so lively that if you don't know it, I'm afraid you should think that this king is going to be raided!" ”

"I've seen Prince Wu." The three of them saluted in unison.

"Excuse me." Zhao Chen lazily responded, and pushed the door of the mansion wide open, "Whether you want to raid the house or search for thieves, all the adults are pleased, but this Wang's family background is thin, and a few people have to let their subordinates be lighter." ”

"If this bumpers and breaks something, the king will be distressed, and I am afraid that the pockets of several people will also suffer—" She smiled and glanced at the dark place in front of the mansion, and entered the mansion first.

Jiang He didn't stop at the same time, and hurriedly led people to follow her closely.

The other two looked at each other and ordered in unison.

The officers and men of the group were in an orderly manner, and after assigning the area, they began to search inside and outside.

Zhao Chen half-lay on the bamboo chair and listened attentively, and then turned his head and said, "Show me the secret report." ”

Jiang Hetong hurriedly took out the paper ball and said, "This is someone nailed an arrow to the door of the lower official room." ”

"I have a heart." Zhao Chen stuffed it into his arms after seeing it, his emotions were unclear, "What should your people do, this courtyard is full of people, where can you use any protection?" ”

Jiang Hetong smiled lightly, lowered his voice and said: "Both of them want to find out something, so that they can close this fatal case as soon as possible, and make some contributions by the way, Xia Guan doesn't have that mind, you better let Xia Guan hide and be idle." ”

"What's more, now that someone wants to plant this matter on you, the lower officials are still waiting to see what happens, waiting for an opportunity to help——"

"Dali Temple is good." Zhao Chen's voice was like a whisper, so light that Jiang Hetong guessed and thought before he understood.

He twitched his eyebrows, pulled his sleeves back, and didn't say a word for a long time.

As soon as the six princes died, Li Shilin, the secretary of Dali Temple, took the initiative to hand over the fold.

first said that he was old and afraid that he would not be able to be reused, and then said that he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors this time, and lingered for the scenery of his hometown, and finally summed up only one sentence: I want to ask myself to return to my hometown and live for a long time-

"Lao Jiang, it's time to gamble." Zhao Chen looked up at the dawn of the morning light on the horizon, "Whether it is a book of great profits or bankruptcy, where do you know if the money pocket does not leave your hand." ”

Jiang Hetong was hesitating, and then he heard her say very lightly: "Don't worry, you won't be alone." ”

A moment of silence.

His lips moved a few times, and in the end he didn't ask anything, only said a soft "huh", which was considered to be due.

At this time, the people outside had also entered the main courtyard and began to search one by one.

Zhao Chen glanced at it a few times, and suddenly turned to the side.

Meng Yong didn't know when she returned to the house, and she was walking slowly from outside the gate of the side courtyard, and she didn't lean down until she was very close, and she didn't shy away from Jiang Hetong on the side, and whispered in her ear.

Cai Wen really didn't come to see the scenery from her.

The reason why he didn't take advantage of the chaos to flee after killing the six princes was that he was found like this night, so that he could lead the people who were tracking the case to the Wuwang Mansion and ordered himself...

However, no plan is seamless.

Tonight's changes are one after another, the first person to find is Meng Yong, and then the person who is supposed to be sent to death is Cai Wen, who is suddenly reluctant to die at this critical moment-

"The things he hid in your mansion have been taken away before he went down..."Meng Yong's voice became softer, "When I chased to the Shangshu Mansion of the Household Department next door, there was an accident in your house, and there was also an accident there..."

Cai Wen, who was reluctant to die, did not run directly, but changed the plan of the main family without authorization, and hid the "evidence" prepared earlier in the Wuwang Mansion, and then began to flee for his life.

But how can the person who made the plan allow him to change temporarily, he himself does not want to die, then he can only be killed.

So when Meng Yong chased him to Shangshu Mansion, it had become a pot of porridge.

The youngest son of Hubu Shangshu was taken away by Cai Wen, and some of the people who came to kill Cai Wen chased Cai Wen out of the south of the city, and the other part fought with the guards of Shangshufu.

——

Zhao Chen couldn't help but laugh.

Tonight's Chengnan Square is really lively.

"The sharpshooter who collects money and kills is actually a house slave who can't help himself..."She smiled and glanced at Xia and Liang in the distance, and then said to Jiang Hetong: "You take someone with you, do your best to help, and pay attention to it." ”

Jiang Hetong nodded, shouted and left, without even saying hello to the other two.

"Prince Wu, Lord Jiang, what is this?" Xia Mingji couldn't help but come over and ask.

"I may think that with the two of you protecting this king, I don't need him here." Zhao Chen replied casually, and said: "This king is sleepy, have you two found a thief or any evidence of crime?" ”

Before the two could reply, the sound of an argument suddenly came, and the two people who were about to bend down were frozen.

“… Can people still hide in a porcelain vase? Shuangxi shouted angrily: "I think you are here to raid the house!" ”

Several officials who were searching the West Chamber turned a deaf ear and continued to search for half a minute.

Shuangxi saw that they ignored it, and went to grab the porcelain bottle, and said angrily: "Be careful!" If it breaks—"

Bang ——! The porcelain vase fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Meng Yong quietly pulled the bad hand back into his sleeve.

Zhao Chen smiled, this person cooperated well.

"Gotta break into, search, smash things... Raiding the house, now it's all work. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them, "Two adults, are you still satisfied?" ”

"What do you eat? Didn't you tell you to handle it with care?! Liang Xu hurriedly scolded.

"Alright, stop shouting." Zhao Chen smiled and sat up straight, "With this kind of pretense, the two of you might as well calculate how to compensate the king." ”

"It should be, it should be." Liang Xu glanced at Xia Mingji, and then said with a smile: "You say a number, you don't need Lord Xia, the lower official will compensate you by himself." ”

He sold it well, and Xia Mingji didn't look at it well, so he interjected: "The official also has a share, Lord Liang doesn't need to be so polite, let's still be half of one person." ”

Seeing that the two were polite to each other, Zhao Chen leaned back lazily, "Okay, don't be polite, you two are still together, one person's family... I'm afraid it's not enough to pay. ”
