"Ben Hou doesn't know either." Ximen Jingyu was vague, until now he didn't know what Lin Xin'er was going to do.

"Take this corpse and go with this king to the Xiaoyao Mansion."

Hearing the news of the fire in the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, Ximen Jingxuan glanced at the corpse of the man placed in front of him.

The body had been found by his men at the foot of Sunset Ridge the previous evening, and his men had found it as there had been one of the roads leading to Sunset Cliff at the fork.

The sky was getting dark, and the stompings of the grass around him were blown by the strong wind, and no other suspicious traces could be distinguished, so his people secretly brought the body back to King Xuan's mansion.

After a secret investigation, Ximen Jingxuan determined that the body was from the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, Ximen Jingyu's people committed suicide in such a remote place under the Sunset Ridge, which was already very suspicious, and the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion was suddenly fired, which was even more suspicious.

Ximen Jingxuan decided to take the corpse to see Ximen Jingyu.

When Ximen Jingxuan passed, Ximen Jingyu was living in a tavern with the people who had escaped from the Xiaoyao Mansion. The people coming and going at the door kept stopping, looking inside at the embarrassed royal family, and when they saw Ximen Jingxuan coming, they quickly dodged away.

Ximen Jingxuan first stood at the scene of the fire that had been extinguished and burned to ashes and observed for a while, and silently walked into the nearby tavern and came to Ximen Jingyu.

"Fourth Emperor Brother, what do you think of this fire?" Ximen Jingxuan asked.

Ximen Jingyu got up from the chair, walked to the door of the tavern, looked at the ruins of the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion that were still burning with sporadic sparks not far away, shook his head and sighed, "I don't know which slave accidentally caused the fire, the Hou Mansion has been destroyed, even if it is found out, what is the use?" Ben Hou didn't mean to come to the fire, let him live. ”

"The Fourth Emperor Brother is really compassionate." Ximen Jingxuan motioned to his subordinates to carry the man's body to Ximen Jingyu, "This person committed suicide mysteriously, I wonder if the imperial brother can believe that his death will be related to this fire?" ”

"Isn't this the second leopard?" Ximenhai walked over, took the lead in saying the name of the person, squatted down, and examined the fatal wound of the person, "Did he commit suicide by cutting his neck?" ”

"Yes, the king's men found his body near Sunset Cliff, and the situation at that time was to kill himself with a knife." Ximen Jingxuan Road.

"Looking at the cut marks on the knife edge, it does look like it was left by suicide, but how could the second leopard commit suicide if he is so good?" Ximenhai stood up and said suspiciously.

"This is exactly what this king came to discuss with the imperial brother." Ximen Jingxuan Road.

"Who is going to harm our Hou Mansion?" Mrs. Hou Ye said on the side, "This second leopard is usually very honest, he is a miscellaneous servant of the Hou Mansion, if it weren't for Hai'er to say his name, I wouldn't even know what his name would be when he died." ”

"Hai'er only let him feed the horses once before he learned his name." Ximenhai Road.

In other words, that person is an inconspicuous character in the Hou Mansion?

"It must be a fine work hidden in the Hou Mansion somewhere." Ximen Jingyu judged that among all the people, he was the only one who knew how much this inconspicuous handyman was reused by him again and again, but this time he died in the hands of that fake Lin Xin'er!

"Lord Wang, Lord Hou!" The person in charge of investigating the scene ran over and bowed to Ximen Jingxuan and Ximen Jingyu.

"What did you find?" Ximen Jingxuan asked.

"Judging from the fierceness of the fire and the difficulty of extinguishing, as well as the small amount of inclusions in the ashes, the subordinates concluded that this fire was caused by something unique to the Yuehua Kingdom for firewood to continue burning." Subordinate reports.

"Sun oil?" Ximen Jingxuan, who has been resident in southern Xinjiang for a generation, quickly thought of such a thing.

There is a magic weapon in the Yuehua Palace called Sun Oil, which can make the fire burn longer and longer as long as a small amount is added to the firewood.

This kind of thing was used in the burning of the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, and it is obvious that the person who set the fire reported his determination to completely destroy the Hou Mansion.

"Exactly." The subordinate nodded affirmatively.

"Did the people of Yuehua sneak into the capital and burn down the Hou Mansion?" Ximen Jingxuan cast a questioning glance at Ximen Jingyu.

"This ...... I don't know very well. Ximen Jingyu wiped a cold sweat.

Lin Xin'er just told him in advance that he would burn down the Hou Mansion in the name of Yuehua Kingdom, but he didn't expect that being recognized by Ximen Jingxuan would bring him a worry from the bottom of his heart.

Strategizing is what Ximen Jingyu has always hoped to grasp, but in the face of this sudden fire, the chips he built in his heart seem to have collapsed.

"Yuehuaguo?" On the contrary, Mrs. Hou calmly retorted, "Our Hou Mansion has never asked about world affairs, what are the people of Yuehua Kingdom looking for us to do?" When have we sinned against them? ”

"Lord Qiqi, my subordinates found these things in the Hou Mansion." Another subordinate ran over and showed a ball of things to Ximen Jingxuan.

"Where was this found?" Ximen Jingxuan picked up one of them, the burnt strip of cloth, and occasionally one or two pieces of unburned places, like a layer of gray light green.

"It's in the dry well of the Houfu Garden." The subordinate replied.

Because the ground in the well was lower, the fire above it was avoided, and the contents were not directly burned to ashes.

"Green Ribbon?" Mrs. Hou glanced at the strip-shaped thing in her subordinates' hands, and couldn't help blurting out.

Ximen Jingyu was also stunned, how could there be such a thing in the dry well in his garden?

The green ribbon is the token of his second brother and the third emperor brother when they rebelled against the throne eight years ago, in order to distinguish it from those who are loyal to the emperor, the person who tied the green ribbon became a symbol of the rebels, and at that time his house also prepared a bunch of green ribbons, but seeing that the situation was not good, they were destroyed in advance, how could they be found in the dry well now?

"Brother Huang, you need to explain something to me." Ximen Jingxuan put the strip of cloth back into the hands of his subordinates, and said to Ximen Jingyu with deep meaning, "The newlywed princess who was held hostage by this king was ordered to track the carriage but returned in vain, but another handyman died near the sunset cliff, and the fire in the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion accidentally found these things that should not appear, the imperial brother must have a unique opinion in his heart." ”

"It's been eight years, it's been eight years since that incident, how can it be mentioned again?" A touch of panic flashed on Mrs. Hou's face, and the people who kept secrets in their hearts were always living in fear, especially after being stable for a few years, they were suddenly lifted, as if God still refused to let them go, as if they were facing the danger of the end again, and they could no longer hide the panic in their hearts.
