The old wooden door creaked open, and there was a musty smell in the air, and a ray of sunlight filtered through the narrow barred window, and dust floated in the beam.

"Adults, this is the one I caught yesterday." The jailer said respectfully, and when he saw the solemn faces of the ministers who had entered, he left with amusement.

This is the Wuhou shop of Shangshanfang, and there was a drunk ghost walking on the street last night, and he actually walked to the door of Yanwang's mansion. This man was caught by the guards of the Yan Palace, and when they saw that he was full of wine and holding silver ingots, he did not look like an assassin, but like a thief who came out, so he sent him to Wuhou.

This was a trivial matter, but when the Shangshanfang Street Envoy inspected the silver ingots that were stolen by the thieves, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

On each silver ingot, the words "Guangdong tax silver" are engraved, and many of them are even numbered. The street envoy hurriedly reported it, and finally the matter reached the Shendu Mansion, so the Shendu Mansion also sent someone to investigate the situation.

There were three people standing in front of the prison, Tang Yun, Lu Pengyuan, and Cui Fatzi, Cui Fatzi was already anxious, although he found some tax silver, but those tax silver were so good that they didn't die, how could they fall in front of Yanwang's mansion.

If it is reported and the tax silver appears in the Yan Wangfu, whether it is related to the Yan Wangfu or not, this matter has already involved him. Don't look at him at ease now, if something really happens, a lax supervision will be enough for him.

He doesn't want to cause trouble, the governor of Shendu Mansion has never been a good official, once something happens, the first thing is that he will take the cylinder, which is a lesson from the past. Cui Fatzi felt that he was extremely unlucky, so he had to follow Tang Yun and Lu Pengyuan to see if he could find any way.

The people in the prison have gone completely insane.

There were ups and downs, ups and downs, and this drunk had already drunk a lot of wine, and under the stimulation, he was always in good spirits. Locked in this cell, there was a hint of madness in his eyes, and his pupils seemed to lose focus, pacing back and forth in the cramped cell.

"Come here! This official asks you! ”

Lu Pengyuan walked in, grabbed the drunk by the collar and dragged him over.

The drunkard glanced Lu Pengyuan up and down, and suddenly smirked: "Qian...... That's a lot of money. ”

Cui Fatzi muttered in a low voice next to him: "This person is already crazy, and it is in vain to ask." ”

Lu Pengyuan looked at the drunkard's expression, it didn't look like a fake, he couldn't help but feel angry, kicked him to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "The only person who knows some clues is crazy, it's really evil!" ”

Tang Yun said: "I'm afraid this drunkard doesn't know where the money came from, it is estimated that it was picked up on the ground, but since this money finally disappeared near the Yanwang Mansion, it has something to do with the Yanwang Mansion." ”

Lu Pengyuan was shocked: "No, what is the benefit of King Yan doing this?" If we don't have this batch of tax silver, the military budget in the north will be tight. If he did this, it would be tantamount to becoming a sinner in the Central Plains. ”

Tang Yun waved his hand: "Before this matter is decided, don't speculate." Master Cui, do you have any news about the blockade over there? ”

Cui Fatzi hurriedly said: "I have long asked my subordinates not to talk nonsense, I don't know much about this, but Jin Wuwei is not under my control......

"Yan Wang ......"

Before Tang Yun's words fell, Cui Fatzi said directly: "King Yan's side, I went early in the morning." Who knows...... Alas, early in the morning, King Yan was called by His Majesty. ”

……

Yanwang Mansion, located in the innermost part of Tianmen Street in Shangshanfang, is magnificent and covers an extremely wide area.

As the only two princes with transcendent status in the Great Zhou Dynasty today, the Yanwang Mansion can be called the East Palace. In addition to the tall walls, there is everything inside. The garden masters from all over the world will build the Yanwang Mansion in a unique style, the Yanwang loves books, and the volume of the world is hidden in a high-rise building. This building is only one head lower than the Taiqian Palace, but because King Yan is the son of today's son, even the strictest imperial history has not been impeached.

The people of Yanwangfu have always been arrogant, and the servants go up to the housekeeper to a small purchasing steward, and they all do things with arrogance. In fact, they also have this capital, once King Yan succeeds in seizing the heir, then they will follow the chicken dog to ascend to heaven.

The thief caught last night thought it was just a small thief, but he didn't expect it to be involved in a serious case.

Tang Yun and the three of them rushed to the Yanwang Mansion, and after revealing their identities, the housekeeper politely welcomed the three into the living room.

Tang Yun asked, "Hasn't His Highness come back yet?" ”

The butler nodded, and asked the servants to serve tea to the three of them, and the living room was very large, but the three of them had no taste.

The identity of King Yan is too sensitive, and they are worried that if this tax and silver matter involves King Yan, it will change the situation of the court. In fact, now that the two kings are fighting, no one can help the other, and the situation is the best.

The three of them didn't wait long before they saw a richly dressed woman slowly walking in, surrounded by many maids. The three of them quickly stood up.

"Sister!"

Cui Fatzi opened his mouth and shouted, this woman is Cui Fatzi's sister, Princess Yan Cui Xiaolian.

It can be seen that Cui Xiaolian's age is not very large. Dressed in a luxurious red embroidered phoenix gauze skirt, draped in a cuiluo light veil on the outside, her skin is like snow, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her beautiful eyes are smiling, she is really a peerless beauty.

Cui Xiaolian glanced at her younger brother with disgust, turned her head to Lu Pengyuan and Tang Yun and said, "What are the two adults doing when they come to my palace?" ”

Tang Yun said directly: "Princess Cui, may I ask how the palace caught the thief stealing it yesterday?" ”

"Catch a thief and steal? Well...... Yes, I heard the housekeeper say that there was a thief who actually picked up money at the door last night, and was caught by the guards and sent to Jinwuwei. Cui Xiaolian thought for a moment.

Tang Yun said in a deep voice: "Does the princess know the details? ”

Cui Xiaolian shook her head: "I don't know, at that time, the mansion was already resting." I only heard the butler mention it later. Well, if you want to ask anything, I'll ask the butler to call the guard out. ”

"Then it's a trouble for the princess."

Cui Xiaolian smiled, turned around and said a few words to a maid behind her, and the maid left in a hurry.

"Why are you so mysterious, what the hell is going on?" Cui Xiaolian pinched her brother's fat face.

Cui Fatzi's head was full of sweat, and he said in a deep voice: "Sister, don't ask too much about this, my brother-in-law...... How long has it been since His Highness left? ”

Cui Xiaolian was just about to speak, when suddenly, the housekeeper hurriedly ran in.

"Oh no, ...... out there ...... outside"

Before he could finish speaking, a loud bang was heard. Immediately after, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps, calmly walking from outside.

When all the people in the living room stood up, and as soon as they walked out of the courtyard, they saw a group of sergeants dressed in armor walking in.

"By Your Majesty's order, search the Yan Palace!" One of the leading generals shouted.
