The carriage went south after leaving the palace gate, and it took about half an hour to arrive at the long street where it had gone that day, and arrived in front of the gate of Yufeng Zhai.

"At this hour, it's normal to close the door, but it's a bit surprising that the door is not closed." On the carriage, Chunxi lifted the curtains, looked at the flickering lights of Yufengzhai, and smiled.

Xuan Ye also leaned over and looked outside: "Ziqing, you go and take a look." ”

"Huh."

"Mu Hui, you can go with you." Chunxi commanded.

"Yes."

Seeing Cao Ziqing and Mu Hui walking away, Chun Xi immediately turned his head to look at Xuan Ye and asked, "Third brother, where are we going?" ”

"You might as well go and take a look at the house in Ziqing's mouth, but this driver has gone to run errands, and his husband is going to be a coachman." Xuan Ye smiled evilly, imprinted a kiss on Chunxi's face, lifted the car door, and sat out.

"Then the coachman should drive steadily, don't bump, the master is expensive." She smiled and reached out to push him.

Xuan Ye looked back and smiled: "Okay! ”

staggered and walked away for half a stick of incense, and arrived at the house in Cao Ziqing's mouth.

"Even though it is night, do not make a sudden visit, how can you investigate." She lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the closed gate, and looked around, it was a little out of the way, and no one was moving at this hour.

Xuan Ye observed it carefully, turned around and smiled, "Sneak in." ”

Chun Xi was amused by his statement, and this matter became more and more interesting: "The dignified Qing Emperor, I am afraid that it is inappropriate to do these things of stealing chickens and touching dogs." ”

"What's wrong?" After Xuan Ye finished speaking, he jumped out of the carriage and moved it to a dark place, and then helped him down.

As soon as Chun Xi got out of the carriage, he saw Xuan Ye making a gesture to enter, and hurriedly took a few steps forward and volunteered: "Then I'll go too." ”

"You? I'm going to climb over the wall, how can I take one more of you? Xuan Ye glanced at her a few times, took her hand, and walked back, wanting her to stay by the car.

"Why not? I don't need my third brother to help. After speaking, he broke free of Xuan Ye's hand, jumped up, and flew onto the wall.

Seeing this, Xuan Ye's heart trembled, and then he smiled and followed. What kind of woman is there next to me?

As soon as the two entered the backyard, they heard someone in the house shouting: "Catch the thief!" Catch the thief! ”

"Why did you just come in and be discovered?" Chun Xi secretly screamed badly, annoying if he was too careless and startled those people.

Xuan Ye hurriedly pulled Chun Xi to hide in the dark, caught off guard, bumped into a person, and turned around to fight with him.

After a few moves, seeing who was coming, both sides stopped.

"Why is Childe here?" Xuan Ye looked at Zhang Pengrong, who was dressed in night clothes, hesitated in his heart, and asked.

"Let's go out first." Zhang Pengrong heard the terrifying shouts around him, and immediately felt that it was not the place to speak, so he proposed.

Xuan Ye nodded, and the three of them quickly dodged the people, and were about to climb over the wall, but they were discovered.

After a fight, it was easy to get out and leave.

The three of them got into the carriage and found a tavern and sat down.

"Come, drink." Chun Xi filled the wine glass for the two of them.

"Actually, I went there today to find out about the fake paintings. I asked someone to find out that the shopkeeper of Yufeng Zhai had something to do with the owner of this house, and I knew that this matter was related to Mr. Jian of Guozijian, so I came to check it out. As soon as I found a little eyebrow, I was discovered, and I was about to escape, and I met you again. I guess I'm here to check it out, right? Zhang Pengrong and Xuan Ye had a drink and said with a smile.

"Childe has good eyesight." Xuan Ye smiled and couldn't help but praise.

Zhang Pengrong proposed: "Since Gongzi and I have the same purpose, we can investigate the case together." ”

"Actually, Ai has never understood why Childe attaches so much importance to this matter?" Xuan Ye asked: "Gongzi is not a court official, why is he so concerned?" ”

"Actually, I'm looking for a teacher. Half a year ago, my mentor Le Zheng suddenly disappeared, and I searched everywhere, and it took me a lot of effort to realize that I had received a letter before I disappeared, and I met outside the city. A month ago, I heard that there were fake paintings in the city, so I went into the city to check them. No matter how well these paintings are copied, they are not real, and if you look closely, they are somewhat similar to the painting style of your teacher. So it's been tracked all the way to here. Zhang Pengrong told his story, talking again and again, sighing repeatedly, it seems that he has been troubled by this matter for a long time.

Chunxi nodded, and sighed: "I see." ”

"Then I wonder why Brother Ai is interested in this matter?" After talking about his own affairs, Zhang Pengrong naturally wanted to know Xuan Ye's purpose, so he asked.

"It's not easy to hide it from the prince now, in fact, he is the emperor's guard, and the emperor has also heard about the fake painting, so let me come out to take a look." Xuan Ye glanced at Chunxi, and said: "Since Neizi's research on calligraphy and painting is above me, I took my family out for some reason, and it was also to hide people's eyes." ”

"It turned out to be a celebrity next to the emperor. In the lower eye, I didn't understand it earlier. Zhang Pengrong was ashamed of himself, and felt that he had met a nobleman, and his heart was full of joy and excitement: "Since the emperor already knows about this matter and has sent an adult here, I believe that the day when the truth will be revealed is not far away." ”

"I hope so. It's just that this is an unannounced visit, and there are many inconveniences. There are also many officials who are familiar with me, and it is really inconvenient to act during the day, and it is not until night that they come out to investigate the case, which is something wrong," Xuan Ye said again.

"If the adults don't dislike it, I'm willing to help the adults find out during the day." Zhang Pengrong immediately asked for his life, it seemed that he really wanted to know the whereabouts of his mentor.

Xuan Ye is grateful, it is naturally a good thing to have someone to help. Cao Ziqing can't personally investigate the case, if he is related to the court officials at this time, I am afraid that Cao Ziqing will be inappropriate to go out of the horse, and it is much more convenient for a stranger to investigate at this time. He promised: "Ai is grateful for the words of the son, and he will solve the case one day, and he will make a statement to the emperor to seek an official and a half position for the son." ”

"I don't care so much about this official position, if I can serve the people and serve the emperor, even if I am not an official, I should do it below." Zhang Pengrong smiled again.

"Come on, come on, drink. Being able to meet Childe today is really a great joy in life. Xuan Ye listened to his words, and he was overjoyed again. It is precisely this kind of talent that is lacking in the DPRK and China.

Chun Xi was busy pouring wine for the two, and the two were in the mood for drinking, when they saw Cao Ziqing coming over with Mu Hui.

"Alas, Brother Cao, you're here." When Xuan Ye saw the two, he was afraid of being helped, so he hurriedly got up and greeted them. After a few words in the ears of the two, they heard Cao Ziqing also say, "Brother Ai." ”

"Come on, come on, let's introduce Brother Cao first, this is Zhang Pengrong, Zhang Gongzi." Xuan Ye pulled Cao Ziqing to sit down, and said to Zhang Pengrong: "This is the first-class guard in front of the emperor, the real celebrity in front of the emperor, Lord Cao Ziqing Cao." ”

"I've heard of it." When Zhang Pengrong heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and toasted again and again, and the three of them talked happily, all of them were happy.

The sky was about to dawn, and Xuan Ye returned to the palace with his group.

After several days, the five of them struggled to find a fake painting case, and finally half a month later, they heard about another strange place from that house.

The five of them decided to divide the troops into two ways, Cao Ziqing and Mu Hui went to move the troops first, just in case, Xuan Ye took Chun Xi and Zhang Pengrong to a small village ten miles away from the outskirts of Beijing.

"There seem to be a lot of guards here, and it's going to be night. We'll sneak in when it's dark. In the distance, Zhang Pengrong looked at the guard in front of the village and proposed.

"Let's find out if there are any other ways to enter the village." Chunxi looked at the sky as if it was going to rain, and felt that it was not a way to wait.

Seeing Xuan Ye and Zhang Pengrong nodding, the three of them carefully looked around.

Huang Tian lived up to his wishes, and finally left unguarded in a corner of the village. Xuan Ye went first, Chun Xi followed, and Zhang Peng melted behind. The three of them mixed into the village, then went separately, and made an appointment to meet here after half a stick of incense.

Xuan Ye went to the east, Chun Xi went to the south, and Zhang Pengrong went to the north. The three of them walked cautiously around the sparsely populated village, checking one by one. Except for a few guards at the entrance of the village, the guards in the village seemed to be well-trained squads, constantly moving around. This also makes it easier for the three of them to move, as long as they are bypassed, it will be difficult for anyone to find out.

It was getting late, and the three of them seemed to have something to gain when they got back together.

Seeing that every house in the village was very quiet, she followed a man with a food box into a room where someone was painting. She thought it was someone on a whim, but she accidentally saw that the painter couldn't speak, and there were chains on his feet to tie him. Chunxi didn't dare to move, for fear of being discovered, so he had to walk away. After walking a few steps, I saw the same person painting in another hut, and his feet were also chained.

Zhang Pengrong found the granary, and there was an empty room next to the granary, but there were three locks on it, which was also strange.

Xuan Ye has been silent, and his face has been black since the meeting.

"Third brother, what did you find?" Seeing that Xuan Ye's face was getting darker and darker, she was already uneasy in her heart.

"I found a lot of weapons."

"Weapons? Could it be ......?"

"It doesn't seem to be easy." Zhang Pengrong said: "It seems that someone wants to rebel. Now that there are many wars, I don't know which one of them is under his command. Now it seems that they wanted to use these fake paintings to sell them for a high price to buy weapons, and the door with three locks I just saw must be a vault. ”

"What Brother Zhang said is reasonable." Xuan Ye nodded.

"It looks like it's going to rain. Shall we go and get the prisoner out first? The mastermind behind this scene may not appear tonight, but it is better for us to rescue people first, so as to lead out the mastermind behind the scenes. Chun Xi suggested.

"That's right." Xuan Ye nodded: "The top priority is indeed to save people." ”

Zhang Pengrong said: "Let's find a place to hide first, and we'll do it as soon as it gets dark." If it rains, it's a bit of a problem. ”

"Actually, it's not true, if it rains, the guards will inevitably be lax, but it will be advantageous." Xuan Ye smiled, he began to feel that today was the right time.
