There were two large bags of oilcloth wrapped in the carriage.

The package contained black and brown pieces of stuff, and the smell was a little pungent.

"What is this?" Xia Ye asked Su Jingxiao in a low voice.

Su Jingxiao took out a piece and looked at it, and said with a serious face: "It's opium." ”

"Opium?"

Su Jingxiao took out a piece and put it in his sleeve, and after hearing the movement outside, he hurriedly pulled Xia Ye out of the carriage.

After eating and drinking, the groom continued to drive the carriage on the road.

Leaving Xia Ye and Chu Chengxiao in place.

"Could it be that Yang Wei has been helping Ding's father-in-law sell opium?" Xia Ye asked.

"It seems that this matter is really not that simple." After Su Jingxiao finished speaking, he followed Xia Ye back to the city.

already knew what Ding's goods were, so there was no need for them to follow the carriage anymore.

Back in the city, Xia Ye and the others went back to the inn for the time being.

"What are you going to do?" Xia Ye asked, looking at a piece of opium on the table.

"I'm going to take this to the emperor and tell the emperor that Ding Quan is actually selling opium in private."

"Will the emperor believe it?" Xia Ye asked a little worriedly.

"The emperor will believe it."

Su Jingxiao took the opium into the palace, and he said that he should let Xia Ye stay in the inn and not wait for him to come back.

Xia Ye had no choice but to stay at the inn honestly, waiting for Su Jingxiao to come back.

Xia Ye, who was waiting in the room, didn't know why he could always remember the man from last night, worried about whether he was injured or not, and those eyes, affectionate and doting, who was he? How could it feel so much like the last time she was rescued at the docks?

After waiting in the room for a long time, Su Jingxiao, who entered the palace, returned to the inn.

"How? Did the emperor believe it? Xia Ye asked anxiously.

"The emperor said let's not startle the snake for the time being, and first secretly see what Ding Quan is going to do with the money?" Su Jingxiao said.

"I'm afraid the matter of the Yang Mansion is a stronghold for Ding Quan's opium trafficking."

Xia Ye said with a serious face: "If it's just a puppet, this Yang Wei is also careless of people's lives and harms the young and old families of the Yang Mansion." ”

"I'm afraid there is also Ding Quan's plan behind this, after all, he is a celebrity around the emperor, even if the Lord of Yaguan County wants to manage it, he can't do it."

Su Jingxiao nodded, then took out a guard suit from his baggage and said, "You change into this and follow me tonight, let's go and see what Ding Quan is doing with that money." ”

"I don't go into the palace." Xia Ye looked at the guard and said.

"If you don't enter the palace, how can you investigate the Yang family's case? Besides, just go in and ask some things, and we'll come out. ”

"That's not going to work either." Natsuba refused.

"Okay, how about you wait for me outside the palace?"

Xia Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Okay." ”

Su Jingxiao looked puzzled and said, "Why don't you enter the palace?" ”

"I'm afraid." Xia Ye said directly.

"Are you afraid that your beautiful face will be left behind after entering the palace?" Su Jingxiao asked while picking Xia Ye's chin.

"Don't think that if you're the King of Qi, I won't dare to bite you?" After speaking, Xia Ye bit Su Jingxiao's frivolous hand.

"Ahh

Su Jingxiao blew his fingers, then looked up at Xia Ye and said, "Little Tiger Tooth is quite powerful." ”

Xia Ye rolled his eyes and said, "Go out, I'm going to change my clothes." ”

When Xia Ye changed into a guard uniform, it was already Yin Shi at this time, and the two of them left the inn and went to the palace in a carriage.

Su Jingxiao was dressed in brocade clothes, his hair crown was also white jade, and he was extravagant, Xia Ye was dressed in black and brown guard clothes, and he wore a hat like a small umbrella on his head.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, will it be unruly for one of my guards to ride in the same carriage as you?"

"Well, then you go down."

Originally, Xia Ye just asked in a joke, but he didn't expect Su Jingxiao to answer so neatly, and suddenly said with a gloomy face: "I won't go down." ”

Su Jingxiao smiled: "Then don't go down." ”

The carriage came to the palace, Su Jingxiao entered the palace, and Xia Ye sat in the carriage and waited outside the palace gate.

He said to go to the eunuch beside Ding Quan and ask what Ding Quan has been busy with lately.

"My lord, my father-in-law said that I would let my lord go to the factory to supervise first, and he will go later."

"Got it."

Xia Ye, who was sitting by the window of the carriage sedan chair, suddenly heard such a conversation outside, so she carefully opened the corner of the curtain.

Two or three meters away from the carriage, a small eunuch lowered his head and whispered to a man with a sword.

Originally, Xia Ye just glanced at it and didn't care, but his eyes were cold after seeing the scar on the man's left eye.

That man was the man who was going to kill her last night!

What did the little eunuch say just now, father-in-law, factory? Xia Ye didn't hear too clearly, but it seemed that the man should have some connection with Gonggong Ding, and after seeing the man leave, Xia Ye got out of the carriage and quietly followed the man.

The sky had turned yellow when it was getting dark, and Xia Ye followed the man from a distance, only to see the man walk out of the palace and towards the lower street.

The road became more and more remote, and in a blink of an eye, the man suddenly disappeared into the street.

Natsuba searched around the street and found a house hidden inside.

Did that man just enter here? Natsuba walked cautiously towards the house in confusion...

"What about the people in the sedan chair?"

Su Jingxiao asked the groom after coming out of the palace.

The groom thought for a moment and said, "He followed an adult. ”

Gone with an adult? Su Jingxiao frowned and asked, "Where did you go?" ”

"Over there." The groom pointed behind him.

Su Jingxiao suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then hurriedly chased in the direction pointed by the groom.

He inquired about the eunuch beside Ding Quan, Ding Quan was not in the room after midnight recently, and said that once the little eunuch went out of the palace to run errands and said that he had seen Ding Quan on the street, and Ding Quan was dressed in civilian clothes at that time.

Thinking of this, Su Jingxiao hurriedly ran down the street...

Xia Ye pushed away the house, the yard was very quiet, and then walked inside, Xia Ye pushed open a door, and a strong ** smell came to his face.

The house was dark, like a basement, with a table full of boxes and unpacked **bags.

Just when Xia Ye wanted to go in and take a look, she felt a heavy blow to her head and fainted.

"Be careful when you come out in the future, in case you are found out, it will be bad." Ding Quan looked at Xia Yedao, who had fainted.

"Yes, father-in-law." Night Charm lowered her head and blamed herself.

Then he looked at Xia Ye and asked, "Father-in-law, what should you do with this person?" ”

"She is the lawyer in Yaguan County, lock her up first, our family still has something to ask her." Ding Quan said.

"Yes."

Night Charm brought a sack to pack Natsu Leaves, and then prepared to take Natsu Leaves away.

Suddenly, there was another noise at the door, Ding Quan looked towards the door, and then waved his hand to let the Night Charm leave quickly.

As soon as Su Jingxiao saw the night charm leaving with something on his shoulder, he was knocked unconscious at the door.

"Another eventful one."

Ding Quan blew his fingers, his eyes cold.

"Father-in-law, what to do with him?"

A bucket walked and then put the whip in the bucket and soaked it a little.

"Do you know what it was just now?" The man asked Natsuba with a wet whip.

Because of the pain all over his body, Xia Ye straightened up and didn't dare to move, but just glanced at the man weakly.

Seeing that Xia Ye didn't speak, the man continued: "It's chili water." ”

"This whip hitting your fleshy body will have a burning sensation that will make you want to stop." The man said with a sneer, and then waved his whip: "I don't believe you still say it." ”

Xia Ye closed her eyes, and the pain in her whole body wished that she would die immediately, so that she could be happy and not let her suffer these tortures.

However, the man's whip did not fall, and Xia Ye opened her eyes to see that the man's eyebrows were pierced by a silver needle, and then fell in front of her.
