Gong Xuanzheng was not in a hurry to go back to his palace, but took advantage of the night to go to the Yihong Mansion, the Yihong Mansion was still full of people, Gong Xuanzheng just entered the Yihong Mansion, and the fifth brother, who had made an appointment with three or two friends who was eating wine, saw Gong Xuanzheng in plain clothes with sharp eyes.

If you come to Yihong Mansion so late at night, you must be plotting something bad again.

And he heard that this Gong Xuanzheng sent someone to the National Temple to investigate the master's situation, as soon as he thought of this, he immediately woke up for three minutes, and immediately left the table with a haha, and followed up.

Gong Xuanzheng had just gone up to the second floor, and he keenly felt that someone was watching him behind him.

The corners of Gong Xuanzheng's lips hooked up an indifferent smile, and he went up to the third floor casually, he glanced down casually, and saw the fifth brother who was sneakily hiding on the second floor.

"It's really beyond my means."

Gong Xuanzheng said this sarcastically and pushed the door open and entered the room, the fifth brother also went up to the third floor when he saw this, there was no one on the corridor on the third floor, and the excitement in the hall on the first floor did not spread to the third floor, it was quiet here, the twilight was dark, his steps were light, he walked silently, and he arrived at the door that Gong Xuanzheng opened.

But he didn't rush in, he knew Gong Xuanzheng's martial arts, and he was able to beat the jade slave like that, how could he beat it?

Before, he didn't know which door Gong Xuanzheng entered on the third floor, but now that he has a clear record, he is not in a hurry to go inside.

He went downstairs again, not knowing what he would experience if he went in, Gong Xuanzheng was standing inside the door waiting for him, if this person broke in like this, Gong Xuanzheng didn't mind solving this man on the spot,

Gong Xuanzheng heard his footsteps gradually moving away, until he disappeared, he twisted the mechanism around him, and the hibiscus autumn picture behind him immediately rolled up, but an extremely heavy iron door appeared, and then twisted the candlestick next to his hand, a narrow and quiet corridor appeared in front of him, and there were two sporadic lights hanging on the wall.

As soon as Gong Xuanzheng entered the nine-story building, someone greeted him, Gong Xuanzheng looked around, and then ordered: "Go and check, the bottom of the restaurant owner opposite,"

"Are you talking about the fifth brother?"

"Well, I've been soaking in my Yihong Mansion all day long, and now I dare to follow the deity, you can find it out, and then you will solve the person secretly."

"Yes. The subordinates have also found out the origin of the jade slave, she is the ...... back then"

"This king knows who she is, you go and find out this matter first, and the matter over there in the national temple, don't relax,"

"Yes."

When Gong Xuanzheng came out again, he pretended to be panicked and looked around, and when he saw that no one cared about him, he left.

"Eh, fifth brother, this wine hasn't been drunk yet, why did you leave?"

When the fifth brother saw that Gong Xuanzheng was leaving, he immediately put down the wine cup in his hand, and when he saw someone calling him, he pretended to be a little drunk and said: "If I drink with you again, Peony is afraid that he will be alone in the empty room." ”

"Fifth brother, you're too anxious, come on, this wine hasn't been drunk yet?"

"No, no, even if you eat and drink, it's all on my head, fifth brother, I'll go first,"

Those people saw that the fifth brother was in a hurry to leave, and they didn't force them to stay, and those people still guessed and punished, and they didn't go to see where the fifth brother went.

The fifth brother staggered to the second floor, the second floor is a private room, compared to the first floor of the booth is already a lot quieter, the fifth brother groped vigorously, and soon reached the third floor.

He swept around, found that no one paid attention to this side, he squatted and listened for a while, the room was quiet, confirmed that no one was very quick to push the door in, only a few tables and chairs, it seemed to be no different from the ordinary room, but the fifth brother did not think so, it was already dark, but there were heavy curtains around it, and the room was even darker to the point that there was no light.

He squinted, his steps were light and silent, and he was always on guard, afraid that someone would suddenly attack him, but strangely, there seemed to be no one in this room, and there was nothing suspicious, only two tables, a few chairs made of pear blossom wood, and then there was a thick carpet, transparent light gauze, and a screen of ink Jiangnan, and nothing else, and the simplicity made people feel abnormal.

If this is the place where Gong Xuanzheng is handling things in private, how can it be like this.

The night was getting darker, he turned from the hall to the room, the room was a little complicated, but it was just the appearance of an ordinary study, and the books were just boring history books and military books, and the fifth brother even noticed that the inkstone was still new, which proved that Gong Xuanzheng had never worked here, and it was almost just a decoration.

He held his breath and investigated for a long time and didn't find anything unusual, and he was afraid that something would happen after delaying for too long, so he had the intention of leaving.

However, how can Gong Xuanzheng tolerate others in his territory, he can come and go as soon as he wants.

The fifth brother was still vigilant, at least he didn't alarm the people in the nine-story building, but he didn't expect that this Gong Xuanzheng would go and return.

Gong Xuanzheng was dressed in dark gray clothes, and the whole person was hidden in the dark, with a breath all over his body, like a poisonous snake hidden in a black hole, spitting snake letters leisurely, and watching the fifth brother walk around his territory with cold eyes, the fifth brother didn't notice that there was a person around the corner who was investigating his every move.

"Want to go?"

Someone screamed suddenly, and the fifth brother instinctively looked in that direction, but Gong Xuanzheng's figure was so fast that he almost didn't see it clearly, the iron palm had already hit the fifth brother's neck, as if he moved easily, Gong Xuanzheng could break his neck.

"You're not leaving?" Although the room was dim, but so close, the fifth brother still saw the appearance of this person clearly, but it was because he saw it clearly that he felt shocked, he saw the person go out with his own eyes, when did this person come back, he didn't know at all, and he was still so presumptuous on other people's territory.

Now he was captured alive, and it is estimated that there will be more than one luck.

"Naturally, if you stay in Yihong Mansion every day, no matter how a man is, he will not reach your level. Today, you dare to follow this king, if you want to die, this king will naturally fulfill you. ”

Although Gong Xuanzheng said this, he didn't kill him, and after he was knocked out, he sent someone out to drag the unconscious fifth brother into the nine-story building.

"It took some effort for this king to catch him, and his martial arts are not weak, you picked his hamstrings first, and the people of the province ran away."

Gong Xuanzheng elegantly wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and looked at the unconscious fifth brother like an ant.

"Yes."

"When the people wake up, they will be tortured again, why do you stay in my Yihong Mansion all day, and you want to check something here with the deity, these must be asked clearly, and then go to the palace to inform the king when there is news."

The men dragged the man into the iron cage while responding, and then tied the man to the iron pillar with an iron chain with upside-down thorns, which was cleverly designed so that if the person struggled slightly, the upside-down thorns would dig deep into the flesh of the person, even if the flesh and blood of your struggle were blurred, it would be useless.

Gong Xuanzheng finished doing this and went back to his general's mansion, and by the time Gong Xuanli's people found that the fifth brother was missing, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

"Master, something happened."

Gong Xuanli and Ning Zimo were picking out brocade in the courtyard of Hua Ting Yuan, Ning Zimo was holding a flaming silk and drawing on his body, Ning Zimo's face was full of joy to be married, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the little eight running in with messy steps, his face was full of anxiety, and he whispered something in Gong Xuanli's ear.

"Xiao Mo, you take a look at it for a while, and I'll deal with some things."

Ning Zimo put down the red satin in his hand, glanced at Xiao Ba, who was standing there anxiously, and nodded, "En, then you can go." ”

"What does it mean to be gone?"

"The shopkeeper of the Zhenyu Pavilion said that according to the habit of the fifth brother, if he ate wine in Yihong Mansion the day before, he would definitely return to the Zhenyu Pavilion at noon the next day, but it was already past noon, and the fifth brother had not gone back yet. The shopkeeper was afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly came over to tell you. ”

"The shopkeeper is here?"

"Yes."

"Then you send him in, and I have something to ask him."

The fat shopkeeper came in, knelt down before he could enter, Gong Xuanli narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Have you ever entered the Yihong Mansion and asked?" ”

"I asked, we all know that the fifth master has a good friend named Peony in Yihong Mansion, but Peony said that the fifth master didn't look for her last night, and then the younger one went to the old friends who often eat and drink with the fifth master, but they said that when the fifth master said it in front of them, he did say that he was looking for peony, so they didn't suspect anything at that time."

Hearing this, Gong Xuanli groaned for a long time, and then waved his hand to call the shopkeeper away, Xiaoba always had a bad premonition in his heart, walked to Gong Xuanli's side, and said speculatively: "That Yihong Mansion is already hiding the dragon and crouching tiger, it must have been discovered and arrested?" ”

"Probably yes."

Gong Xuanli in this compartment was still thinking about how to rescue the fifth brother, and Gong Xuanzheng in that compartment had ordered the people in the Jiushulou early in the morning to pay close attention to the fat shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion.

This fat shopkeeper has been followed since he went out.

"Saw that person enter the General's Mansion with my own eyes?"

This person was actually handsome, but there was a sinuous scar on his face, which was very abrupt, and he felt a little mad when he saw it, and he spoke sadly: "Yes, but the stay in the General's Mansion was not very long, and he came out after about a quarter of an hour." ”

"Interesting."

"Yes, master, that fifth brother obviously went to the Nine-Story Building last night, and now the person who can think of getting rid of you in one fell swoop is no one else except for the sixth prince."

"yes, that's interesting."

No wonder Gong Xuanzheng always felt that he had missed something recently, and he was already a little skeptical that Ning Xuanli and Gong Xuanli were the same person, seeing this situation, that possibility was even greater.

And now the only thing that can still ask him to confirm this matter is the genealogy of the Ning family, if the name Ning Xuanli is not on the genealogy of the Ning family......
