Just when the people of the capital were panicking, and the nearby officials and eunuchs were looking up and down to inquire about the situation, there was movement at the palace gate of the imperial city and the palace of the king of Qi at the same time

The emperor not only sent all the big and small doctors to the Tai Hospital, but also directly posted the emperor's list for medical treatment. And the king of Qi even left his military affairs behind, and quickly came with his own soldiers, and at the same time closed the city gates on all sides, saying that he wanted to arrest the assassins.

Everyone didn't know the inside story, and the speculation naturally became more and more. And the officials surrounding the British government were also cautious, lest something go wrong.

In a mansion somewhere in the capital, after hearing the report of his guards, the man in the iron mask suddenly laughed loudly a few times, and then got up and walked out of the door.

"Master, this matter should be guarded against fraud." The old man who had been following him persuaded him in a hoarse voice.

When the iron-masked man heard this, he really slowed down, his eyes were gloomy and uncertain, and he sneered and said, "That's right." That little wolf cub is used to cheating" After finishing speaking, his gloomy eyes glanced at the old man beside him, and after a moment, he commanded, "Elder Wang, how many years have you followed me?" ”

The old man's legs trembled a little when he was stared at by the man in the iron mask, and he didn't know what this uncertain master thought. But if he didn't answer, he was afraid that he would be angry, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "It's been almost fifty years." ”

The man in the iron mask squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "It's been so long, I can't wait." ”

After that, he directly pinched his fingers and said casually, "Since this is the case, then you can help me explore the truth and truth." After all, you're much more familiar with the situation over there than I am. What's more, a dead person will not be noticed! ”

The old man was about to say something more, but he saw the man in the iron mask raise his hand to stop him.

"Rest assured, as long as the wolf cub is not dizzy, no matter whether he lives or dies, he will never continue to pursue it. Even if he finds out, he will never do anything to you. ”

The thought of the wolf cub's look at the object in the dark compartment made the Man in the Iron Mask let out a hearty laugh. It's really funny, if that group of high-sounding royals guessed the inside story, they didn't know what kind of expression they would show.

It will be panicked and restless, and you will not be able to sleep at night. Or will they try to destroy the evidence, just like Emperor Chengzong and the old emperor?

However, Emperor Chengzong and the old emperor were ruthless enough, and for the sake of that power, even those close to them could do it.

The more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt, and he couldn't help but laugh and say to himself, "I just didn't expect that two damn people would come together." If Rou'er was still alive, I don't know what kind of mood she would have been, and she would probably be even more panicked? ”

The man in the iron mask rubbed his chin, thinking that in the face of power and wealth, Xu Chu, who should have died twenty years ago, and Xiao Qinglang, who should not have been born in the first place, would be more in love with Jin Jian, or would end up betrayed like himself

Hey, I can't see with my own eyes how they struggle to fall into a predicament, and my heart is really not happy enough.

He looked at the figure of the old man disappearing outside the door, then snorted coldly, threw the iron mask on his face aside, and then stepped out.

The mask fell on the bluestone floor, making a loud sound, and it was stained with the autumn water, making it look more and more gloomy and cold.

Xiao Qinglang is not here at this time, if he is there, if he sees the faces of the iron-masked man and the old man, I am afraid that I don't know what kind of turbulent waves are in my heart.

It was originally a towering tree that flourished, but at this time it was constantly swaying in the wind and rain, and finally fell all over the ground with yellow leaves.

In the deep courtyard, the slanting wind and drizzle continue to fall, and the entire capital is rendered extremely depressed.

Just after Xu Chu stuffed the antidote pill prepared by Aunt Chu before into Xiao Qinglang's mouth, and tried to help him swallow it, so that his breathing gradually increased. Tang Qiaozheng, who came in a hurry, also approached with a sweat on his head, he looked at Xu Chu, who was not in his mind, his face was anxious, and finally he could only bite the bullet and say, "Xu Sicheng, a few days ago, the prince specially asked me to find a few errand servants who were good at observing words and feelings, and now they are observing outside the walls of the British Mansion. However, the prince has instructed that if there is any accident in him during the investigation of the case, then the suspicious people observed by these people should be checked by you personally. ”

As he spoke, he hesitantly handed over a portrait in his hand.

"These are the portraits of the strange-looking people who have just been observed by the officer, as well as the files that the Ministry of Household Affairs has urgently found. And then there's a few more, and the Tobe waiter is leading people to look for it."

Xu Chu came back to his senses, looking at the stack of portrait files with solemn eyes. She knew that such a movement now must have startled the snake. In other words, the man was always aware of their actions, and even more so, he was leading them all along.

In the past, she and Xiao Qinglang always wanted to act in secret, so as not to cause trouble.

And now it seems that their blind stuffy secret investigation has further fueled that person's rampantness.

At this time, all the doctors and doctors from the Tai Hospital arrived. In the end, after Zhang Yuanzheng checked Xiao Qinglang's condition, he said, "The prince's wound was cleaned in a very timely manner, and he took the antidote, but he didn't have to worry about his life." ”

After Xu Chu knew that Xiao Qinglang was fine, his heart slowly let go, as if he had finally landed.

She exhaled deeply, leaned over to wipe the water stains from the corners of Xiao Qinglang's mouth, and then got up with a cold face and said to Zhang Yuanzheng, "I'm sorry for you to take care of the prince, the prince is heavily poisoned, and he is on the line of life and death, so he needs your best to save him." ”

Zhang Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment, but he understood the key in a moment. He bowed his head, and his face became solemn and cautious in an instant.

And Xu Chu directly took the portrait and file and followed Tang Qiaozheng and several officials out of the study.

"The man was arrogant and arrogant, but he was perverse but perceptive. Ever held a high position or was of noble birth, and it is likely to be related to the royal family. When he was young, his life changed dramatically, and even his status plummeted, and this deprivation of rights caused his personality to change abruptly. Later, he is supposed to have been emotionally betrayed, and the betrayer should have something to do with the royal family or someone he trusted, so he especially enjoyed the feeling of playing with people in the palm of his hand. There is a serious desire to control and dominate, and at the same time, because of the experience in the past, he is extraordinarily contemptuous of people. ”

"He has a sociopathic personality and likes to control and dominate others, and is likely to have a habit of arson, bedwetting, and animal cruelty."

Xu Chu paused, regardless of whether Tang Qiaozheng and the others could understand, and then said, "According to that person's psychology, it is impossible for him to delay the satisfaction of desires and hopes, so he is not very keen on power. In other words, he is more interested in seeing others struggling in difficult situations than in power and rebellion. ”

Tang Qiaozheng twisted his eyebrows and listened for a long time, opened his mouth and asked with difficulty, "Is this too mysterious?" ”

Xu Chu's face was cold, and he didn't mean to explain, but continued, "This can only help the adults narrow down the scope of that person, and it cannot be used as evidence to convict." ”

"In addition, although the man is arrogant, he is thoughtful and will not easily put himself in danger. So, I guess nine out of ten that people will observe the situation here in a restaurant that is relatively close to the British duke. Her eyes were heavy, and she said with a calm gaze, "Or, that person will find a restaurant by the window box on the way from the British Princess's Mansion to the Jing'an Palace, and wait to see what he thinks is the prey showing an embarrassed and weak appearance." ”

When Tang Qiao heard this, his eyes showed shock, but he was replaced by excitement. Although he still had something he didn't understand, it could be seen that Xu Chu said so cautiously and analyzed the thoughts of the people behind the scenes so thoroughly, even though he was still a little puzzled in his heart, he didn't have any doubts.

Seeing that Xu Chu was deep in thought again, he hurriedly turned around and ordered his henchman.

But just as the henchman went out, he heard Xu Chu suddenly add, "That person is used to disguise, and it is very likely that he has led soldiers or is related to the army." The subordinate servants who follow you should be proficient in martial arts, and you can start from this aspect. It's better to catch a hundred people by mistake than to let go of one"

This is not something she guessed out of thin air. Instead, I thought of the man I had vaguely seen when Hua Wuzhi was framed for killing Princess Heqin, and according to his and Xiao Qinglang's speculation at that time, he had something to do with the army.

If it was normal times, maybe Xu Chu would still take care of it. But now, when it comes to the assassination of King Jing'an, the people have long been panicked, and even if the wrong person is arrested, it is understandable. is made difficult by the Gaomen clan, and she or the emperor have something to say.

Moreover, this time, it was clearly a big gamble. If the bet is right, they can simply find out the person directly, if the bet is wrong

Xu Chu narrowed his eyes, if he made a mistake, he could also deter that person. At the very least, it can disrupt his pace and give him a sense of crisis that he has been provoked.

The man was cunning, but he hated betrayal and provocation. He is accustomed to flaunting his strength, and he has always been proud of it, but if he finds himself in the palm of his so-called prey, then he will inevitably take greater action to prove that his strength and ability are beyond the reach of others.

The servant gave it up, and then hurriedly left to set it up.

Xu Chu restrained the contemplation in his eyes, unfolded the album in his hand one by one, and then briefly flipped through the summary of the corresponding dossier. After half an hour, she reached out and pointed at the two people in the portrait, and said, "The person behind the curtain will send his henchmen to find out what is happening in the British Mansion." ”

"The confidant was probably between seventy and eighty years old, with a strong body and steady steps. There is no need to be white, properly maintained, and the clothes are not splendid and luxurious, but the conversation and behavior are different from the ordinary old people in the market. ”
