He still wants to talk, but he wants to live more.

Ling Tiancheng didn't reply to him a word, and even when he mentioned his mother, he was indifferent, which made Zhuang Changyuan unsure, what was he thinking?

The man has grown up.

Standing in front of him now was an adult man, the emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty, and he was no longer the little boy who lived in his mansion and only chattered.

Zhuang Changyuan's gaze suddenly became a little misty when he looked at him, and he even wondered, if he didn't suspect it from the beginning, what would it be like now?

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly again.

How is it possible, this is the responsibility of their banker for generations, since his father's generation has been preparing, he just follows the family's plan.

Becoming a king or defeating a king, he has nothing to say.

The sky began to spin, Zhuang Changyuan looked up, and at this glance, he felt as if he had fallen into a black vortex, and kept falling.

Ling Tiancheng still stood still, and it wasn't until Zhuang Changyuan fell down that he called the inner guards guarding the street: "Take him to the heavenly prison and call a doctor to go over and treat his injuries." ”

After running for a few months, others thought that they would make another storm, and even Zhuang Changyuan himself thought so, but in the end he returned to the original point.

The damp and cold place of the prison became his home again.

Ling Tiancheng turned around and returned to the inn and checked it in the room where Zhuang Changyuan had stayed.

The four Kashgar guards who brought him with him were all dead, and there was nothing useful in their belongings, and there were few clues to be found.

The person who brought Zhuang Changyuan out of here before had a very unfamiliar face, and he probably didn't often move around Kyoto City.

He didn't stay here for long, and returned to the street again, guessing where Zhuang Siyan would be.

Finally, we walked in the direction of the gambling house.

The gambling house was sealed as early as after Ye Yuanpei came with the Ouchi guards, but it was extremely hot at this time.

All the people from all sides gathered here, the torches reflected half of the sky, and the figures walked back and forth.

But the people kept silently silent, and apart from the occasional whispered conversation, the only sound of footsteps could be heard.

Ling Tiancheng was in the crowd and saw Zhuang Siyan at a glance.

She was still dressed in men's clothes, and she was leaning crookedly against the corner of the wall, watching people enter and exit the gambling house.

Ye Yuanpei got the news from somewhere, saying that Lu Xiao was still here, so he came to look for it again.

Zhuang Siyan didn't stop him, and also thought that such a big gambling house should have a basement or something, but she was too lazy to move, and she didn't bother to go in to find it, just watching them busy.

When Ling Tiancheng came to her side, she noticed it slightly, tilted her head slightly, and then met Ling Tiancheng's gaze.

Zhuang Siyan's face showed an expression of disbelief, and his body suddenly stood up straight: "Why are you here?" ”

Ling Tiancheng approached her: "I'm not worried about you, so come and take a look." ”

Zhuang Siyan glanced at the gambling house: "I'm fine, I didn't do much, General Ye was busy." ”

They stood and talked, and they didn't look like people in the middle of things at all, but like idle melon-eating people, just nodding and commenting on the busy people.

After watching it for a while, Zhuang Siyan also felt bored, so he said to Ling Tiancheng: "You wait here for a while, I'll go talk to Ye Yuanpei, let's go back first!" ”

Ling Tiancheng let out an "um" and watched her walk inside, standing where she had just stood.

After a while, Zhuang Siyan came out, stretched out his hand and naturally grabbed Ling Tiancheng's arm, and asked him, "Do you want to go back to the palace, or go to my place for one night?" ”

He didn't want to go back to the palace at this time, but the dead people in the house hadn't been cleaned up yet, and it was indeed not a good place for them, so he asked, "How about we go to the guest house?" ”

Zhuang Siyan smiled: "Okay, it's convenient in the inn, let's go." ”

They followed the guards in front and behind, as well as the Qing brothers.

Ling Tiancheng gave up the distance and went to the inn where Zhuang Changyuan had stayed before.

asked for an upper room, and when the two of them lay down side by side, Zhuang Siyan asked, "Something happened in this inn tonight, right?" Is this why you want to live here? ”

Ling Tiancheng looked sideways at her.

The night was dark, and he could only see a silhouette, not knowing her expression.

"How do you know there's something going on here?" Ling Tiancheng asked.

Zhuang Siyan said in the dark: "There is a smell of blood, when we came in just now, I saw that there were also blood stains at the gate, it was very fresh, it should have happened not long ago, right?" ”

Ling Tiancheng responded, and then said, "Catch a fugitive and go back." ”

He thought that Zhuang Siyan would ask who was arrested, but the woman also turned sideways and asked him with a little excitement: "Did you arrest it?" ”

Ling Tiancheng: "It's just a coincidence. ”

Zhuang Siyan chuckled: "I knew that your martial arts were very high, to be honest, did Wen Qing tell you that there was a poisonous killer, so you came to protect me?" ”

Ling Tiancheng ran his arm under her neck, and as soon as he tightened it, he had already taken the person into his arms.

"Well, those killers are indeed not weak, and I don't know who their target is, you go back to the palace with me tomorrow morning, don't come out for the time being."

Zhuang Siyan smiled again: "I'm afraid it's hard to pass tonight." ”

Ling Tiancheng: "Not necessarily. ”

"There are a lot of people coming this time."

"So what?"

Before the two of them could finish speaking, there was a fierce fight outside.

Ling Tiancheng lay down and didn't move, Zhuang Siyan didn't move, but her mouth was not idle, she opened her mouth and asked, "Why don't you go out and have a look?" ”

"It should be fine, you sleep, I'll watch over you."

The interior was quiet again, and the fight outside became more intense.

It was only half an hour, and it slowly quieted down, no one came to report to Ling Tiancheng, and no one broke into the door again.

Zhuang Siyan leaned into his arms and was really sleepy, but he still didn't give up: "Who did you arrest?" ”

"Sleep, I'll tell you when I get up tomorrow morning."

The second half of the night was quite quiet, but Ling Tiancheng barely slept much, and it was already the fourth watch.

He is going to go to court on the fifth watch, and now he is outside the palace again, so it's time to get up.

Quietly got up and dressed in the window, glanced at Zhuang Siyan on the bed, wrapped her in the quilt without hesitation, and walked out with the quilt.

There was a horse-drawn carriage parked at the door.

After they left the inn, Wen Qing pouted and said, "Hmph, it's not that I have to contribute, otherwise let him go back with a big quilt, and his hands will be tired." ”

The people around him turned their heads away, as if nothing had been heard.

They were busy all night, and they were half tired to death, and the benevolent brother didn't let him come to deliver the carriage, he sent it himself, why did he look so sour at this time?

They don't understand Wen Qing, and even Wen Qing himself doesn't quite understand what his behavior is at this time.

Shaking his head and sighing slightly, he finally collected his troops and replied, letting everyone go to rest.

He himself sat back in his study and took out the case file of the missing disaster relief silver.

Tonight, they went separately from Ye Yuanpei, he went to the gambling house, and Wen Qing went to Liu's house.

The people of the Li family have died, and the courtyard has also been sealed, and what can be seen in it has been seen by Zhuang Siyan before.

They didn't go there tonight to find new clues, but to wait there.

Those who can't wait, like them, will look for news again.

The horse scum is dead, and their clues are also broken, and now they are not sure who the opponent is.

But in the whole city of Kyoto, there are only so many people, and there are not many people who have the right to do such a thing.

And they agreed that the other party would do it again.

Wen Qing waited at Liu's house until midnight, but did not arrest anyone at Li's house, but got the news that Zhuang Changyuan had returned to Kyoto City.

As soon as he called someone to rush over, he saw that Ling Tiancheng had already subdued the other party.

Wen Qing's people did not show up, and quietly came back to their lives, and it was at this time that two people came from outside the Liu family.

The two of them were not weak in martial arts, they didn't go through the main door, they turned over from outside the wall and went straight into Liu Feng's bedroom.

Wen Qing remained silent, wanting to wait for the other party to find a clue before catching someone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two people passed, they directly lit a fire and burned Liu Feng's house.

Wen Qing and the others panicked, and while fighting the fire, they went to arrest the two people.

Although the people were caught, and the house was not completely burned down, it was really enough to choke on it all night.

But if this matter is not implemented for a day, Wen Qing and they will not be able to be stable for a day.

He spread out the case file, took out an ingot, and carefully checked the imprints on it from Liu Fengfang.

It didn't take much effort to see that the mark on the gold was the same as on the case.

So far, it has basically been determined that Liu Feng has a direct relationship with the theft of the disaster relief officer's silver that year.

And the two who agreed to cooperate with him are also inseparable.

It's just that there is no way to find out who this Liu Feng is.

Ye Yuanpei, who went to the gambling house, was busy all night, and there was no new discovery.

This result is not a disappointment, the last time they came so urgently, they only caught some insignificant people, and they didn't even find a few useful evidence.

After such a long time, it is really not easy to find out what to get from here.

That's why they all came out of the hole and went everywhere, just to give the opponent a dumb move, so that the opponent couldn't figure out where their focus was, just as they didn't know where the opponent's focus was.

Zhuang Siyan, who returned to the palace, had a different opinion on this matter, but her actions were much slower.

Since Ling Tiancheng brought her back, she has been asleep, leaving the inn, getting into the carriage, bumping all the way in the carriage, and not waking up until she returned to the palace, entered her own dormitory, and was placed on the bed by Ling Tiancheng, after Ling Tiancheng left.

She slowly opened her eyes and stared at the slightly misty room for a long time before she suddenly stood up and thought, why did I go back to the palace? How did you get back? What about Ling Tiancheng?

put on a middle coat and ran out of the dormitory, but was stopped by Ping'er outside: "It's cold outside, Niangniang, if you go out like this, you will get cold, go back quickly." ”

Zhuang Siyan hurriedly asked, "How did I come back?" ”

Ping'er: "The emperor sent you back." ”

"What about him?"

"I'm going to go to court."

Zhuang Siyan didn't say a word, turned back to get dressed, and walked out.

She has to go out to see what is going on with Wen Qing and Ye Yuanpei, now that the situation outside is in crisis, it has reached the point where the fish is dead and the net is broken, if they take a slow step to find the evidence, and the other party destroys it first, it is likely that this matter will be in vain.
