In the prison of Dali Temple, there are two adjacent cells, which hold two people who have never known each other, but who have also entered for the same crime. Although the charges have not yet been confirmed, no one can reverse the tables.

"Be honest." After a man in a nearby cell was interrogated, he was escorted back to his cell. The man's body was covered with whip marks, and his clothes were replaced with a new one, but they still couldn't hide the traces of the man's blood flowing downward.

After the cell boss left, a woman in the cell next to the man took the initiative to talk. The woman was neatly dressed, but her hair was very messy, as if it was intentional, because her hair was messy and combed to the right intentionally or unintentionally.

The conversation between the two did not have the sympathy of being in the same cell, nor the momentum of the enemy being blushing when they saw each other. Just plainly trying to get acquainted.

"Childe, meeting is fate, and now, our cells are next to each other, so we might as well get to know each other."

"I don't know who the girl is?"

"Lord of the Eight Tone Pavilion. Childe again? ”

"Under the surname Shen."

"Four Princes!"

At this time, the cell boss came again, and scolded: "What are you two muttering about! Look for a draw! Still figure out how to escape!"

Seeing the bloody punishment, in the eyes of Zhao Mingqiu, the Cheng of Dali Temple, may not exist at all, especially for Shen Xun.

In the interrogation room, Zhao Mingqiu faced the window, slowly turned the jade wrench in his hand, and recalled the past:

More than a year ago, Zhao Qian, my second son, for some reason, was targeted by bandits on Qinglong Mountain. At a temple fair, taking advantage of the large number of people and the chaotic environment, the thieves were robbed of the mountain. These thieves also opened their mouths, and even demanded a ransom of 1,000 taels of silver, and they must send the cash up the mountain within three days, otherwise they will tear up the ticket. Although it is said that this thousand taels is my money for several months, this amount is nothing compared to my son, and I am willing to pay this money for my son.

After all, this is not a small amount, and I didn't get it until the third day. I don't feel at ease with letting others escort this thousand taels, so I personally escort the money. Who knew that when I came to Qinglong Mountain, Shen Xun had already led his troops to encircle and suppress Qinglong Mountain, and half of the bandits on the mountain were killed because of their heroic resistance, while the rest of the bandits were captured. The captives have been taken away by Shen Xun. But no matter how I looked for it, I couldn't find Qian'er.

Until I found out in the cottage that there was a house, a house that had gone out of water. Inside the room was a charred corpse. Although the face of the corpse has been scorched, it is impossible to tell who the deceased is, but the clothes worn by the corpse are the clothes worn on the day of the Qian'er temple fair, and even the pair of cards of my Zhao Mansion were burned together.

This is Qian'er, you can't be wrong!

Shen Xun! Since you killed my Qian'er, then I won't let you go. The emperor is serious about you, so he won't move you first. But I've heard that you seem to be very close to Miss Feng Er, Feng Ran. It just so happens that Feng Ran and the Seventh Prince have had a marriage contract since they were children, and the Seventh Prince has already performed the crown ceremony and can get married.

So I played the emperor and asked him to get married as soon as possible. Just to remind you not to get too complacent.

But who would have thought that this Feng Dye would dare to go out without permission, but the day she went out was still the day when I went to collect the debt. It's good to die, and it also lets you see the shopkeeper in the store and call me the owner.

The imperial court prohibits officials from doing business, and those who violate the order will be punished by the three clans, but since I married Jiang Yingliu as my wife, no matter what she does, I can always make more use of her connections. The power of the Jiang family should not be underestimated, and with this, my business started all of a sudden. At the beginning, I just gave it a try, whether it was successful or lost, but later, when I succeeded, the business became bigger and bigger, and I was more reluctant to let go, thinking that it was impossible for the court to find out.

But I never thought that since Feng Ran already knew, then she couldn't stay, so I found a few famous killers in the rivers and lakes, and the task went smoothly - Feng Ran died.

However, one of the killers in this group did not ask for a mercenary gold, but asked for a pair of cards from Zhao Fu. It's not a rare thing to have a card, so I gave it, but I haven't seen him coming.

Jiang Yingliu's so-called banquet is the princess selection conference held in the imperial garden by the emperor. The purpose is to choose a daughter-in-law for him. The emperor has a total of eleven sons, of which there are four princes who have not married wives, and because the four princes are involved in the case, there are only three princes in prison.

However, it can also be seen from here that the emperor either extremely believes that the four princes will not collude with the lord of the Eight Tone Pavilion, or the emperor does not attach importance to the four princes at all. However, the latter is completely impossible, two months ago, when the fourth prince came back, the emperor specially held a grand reception banquet for the fourth prince.

The imperial garden of the palace, Bai Chu and Jiang Yingliu, has already arrived. However, because Jiang Yingliu had something to do, she left for a while, and she was taken by Jiang Yingliu into the side hall of a large hall near the imperial garden, and gave her a wooden plaque with the number twenty-one written on it. Jiang Yingliu also said that she asked Bai Chu to wait for her.

However, Bai Chu had only stood here for a while, and he noticed that something was wrong.

For example, the women here, except for the maids and palace maids, all have something to do, either practicing the piano or practicing dance, anyway, there is no idler, they are all practicing their talents.

"Wait a minute, to perform? What's the big deal? Practice so hard! The emperor expands the harem? Definitely! Otherwise, how could you work so hard! It is impossible to choose a concubine for his son, his eldest son is only three years old! These stupid girls thought that the palace was a good place to sharpen their heads and drill into it. Those ministers are too, and the family honor is for women to fight for. Not even a man. ”

Thinking of this, Bai Chu shook his head helplessly.

After a while, several eunuchs came, among which the leader De looked like the big eunuch next to the emperor, Hua Delu.

"Sure enough, I guessed right! The flowers are here. Bai Chu said secretly in his heart.

Hua Delu first told them to line up quickly, and the show girls were also very obedient, and they lined up obediently, including Bai Chu among the good children. As for whether it was voluntary or forced, this question is a bit silly, thinking about what the emperor looked like after being taught by Bai Chu, Bai Chu himself was afraid. How could you send yourself to death!

"Have you got all the wooden cards?"

"Got it."

"After a while, our family will come to call the number, and the person who calls the number will come to the field. Is it all clear! ”

"It's all clear."

After finishing speaking, Hua Delu also left.

The mood of the girls present, except for Bai Chu, everyone else was excited, in fact, they didn't know what they were excited about.

As for Bai Chu, she was planning something to leave, she hadn't practiced light skills, half of the spells were out of order, and it was impossible to escape. Sister Bing'er didn't bring any medicine, she was dead!

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"

The banquet will start in a moment, and after a while, you will go to the stage in turn according to the number on the wooden sign
