"Your Highness, those bandits have confessed, they received a man's instructions, they don't know the identity of the man, they just said that the man took the silver to their cottage in person, let them do this, after the deed is completed, there is a heavy thanks. "They thought it would be easy, get it done, and then take the money and let them go out for a while, and then they would go out of the mountains after the limelight had passed." It's just that I didn't expect to kill a few people halfway, completely disrupt their plans, and let them almost all be captured. ”

"Has the man who instructed them been found, and has the identity of those who helped him that day been confirmed?" asked Li Changlong.

"Not yet. The man in black said, "According to the information provided by these mountain bandits, that man is very familiar with the route of the carriage of Qihou Mansion, and may be from Qihou Mansion, as for those who made the move, they have no news at all, and they have disappeared completely." ”

"It's weird, I always feel that this matter doesn't seem to be so simple. Li Changlong held his chin with one hand, "All in all, let's find the person who instructed it first, we can't lose face in front of my father." ”

"Yes. ”

At this time, the subordinates outside entered the inner report inside: "Your Highness, Zhang Haiyi asks to see you." ”

"Zhang Haiyi, what is this kid doing?" Li Changlong wondered.

"Could it be for the sake of General Jiang's affairs, that Miss Jiang is quite close to him, maybe for the resettlement of those family members?" said the man in black.

"Let him in first. ”

After a while, Zhang Haiyi entered with a grin, pushed a bound man into the house, and said with a smile: "I've seen Your Highness." ”

"What are you doing here?" asked Li Changlong suspiciously.

"Your Highness is looking for someone? No need to look for it, I sent someone to you. Zhang Haiyi said, "This person's name is Wang Si'er, and he is the guy who instructed those mountain bandits to rob the carriage of the Hou Mansion and caused the fifth lady to fall off the cliff." He can be allowed to confront those mountain bandits. ”

"The prince spares his life! the little one is wronged, the little one is a subordinate of the Hou Mansion, how can he frame his own young lady by eating inside and out?" Wang Si'er immediately got up and cried and begged for mercy.

"The descendants of the Hou Mansion? That is even more true? Do you take the initiative to tell what you know? Or are you going to be beaten by the palace after confronting those mountain bandits in prison?

"This ......" Wang Si'er's eyes rolled a few times in horror, swallowed his saliva and said, "The little one wants to say a few words alone." ”

"What you told me just now, how to tell the prince now. Zhang Haiyi sneered, "Don't try to be clever, I'll keep an eye on it, unless you want to involve the prince." ”

"The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't mean that. Wang Si'er said with a white face.

Li Changlong was also afraid that this matter would have something to do with him, so naturally he didn't really want to talk to this guy alone, and said lightly: "Say it, just say it here." Naturally, you won't murder your young lady for no reason, but others will, the silver tickets you gave to those mountain bandits are thousands of taels, how can you have so much silver?"

"It's the villains who make the robbers do things, but the little ones also do what they are told. ”

"Whose orders?"

"Our wife, Mrs. Liu ordered Mama Liu to come and pass the word, and the villain also did what Mrs. told her, begging the prince to spare the villain's life. After Wang Si'er finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and trembled and pleaded, while Zhang Haiyi's eyes were staring at Li Changlong's face.

"Mrs. Qi Hou?" Li Changlong's face was as usual, and he said lightly, "It turned out to be them, someone came to the Hou Mansion to arrest that Liu Mama for questioning, as for Mrs. Qi Hou, control it, but be polite." ”

"Yes. ”

Li Changlong glanced at Zhang Haiyi again, and said with a smile: "You have done the palace a great favor, how can the palace thank you?"

"If Your Highness really wants to thank me, the bereaved families of those fallen soldiers should think more about it. Zhang Haiyi said, "The next task has also been completed, and I have left!"

"Mrs. Qi Hou is from the Liu family, do you really want to move her?" asked the man in black.

"Otherwise, Zhang Haiyi often goes in and out of Ziwei Palace, and in a blink of an eye, Gong You will know the truth, this palace was originally intended to win over Ziwei Palace, is it to offend Ziwei Palace in order to protect a Liu family?" Li Changlong said lightly.

"The subordinate understood. ”

Qihou Mansion.

"What should I do?" Su Chengle trembled and squatted in front of Su Liu's body, "The prince has already found out that Mama Liu is here, and Wang Si'er has also been arrested, what should we do now? Mother, will you be okay? I will go to my uncle and ask my uncle to intercede with the prince, and the prince will definitely open the net!"

"Now your uncle may not come forward for me. Su Liu said coldly.

"Why, you're his own sister, what about grandpa? I'll go find him. Su Chengle hurriedly said.

"Let me tell you, the Liu family is not clean, you go to your uncle and tell him that I have met a person from Qin Fen, and he naturally knows how to do it. Su Liu said lightly, "Don't panic, remember what I told you, even if there is no Liu family, your father will not let me have anything to do." ”

"I see, I'll go to my uncle now. Su Chengle wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, the words fell, and he hurriedly went to Liu's mansion.

In Liu's study, Liu Sihan said impatiently: "I have done everything I should have done, and now I can't do anything about it, your mother shouldn't have been stupid in the first place." ”

"Is my uncle planning to sit idly by?" Su Chengle asked in disbelief with red eyes, "Are you going to watch your own sister have an accident?"

"Is it my fault? It's all because she's stupid. Liu Sihan said coldly, "Besides, I have already done everything that should be done, you can go." ”

"Qin Fen. Su Chengle said suddenly, "My mother said that he had seen a person named Qin Fen. ”

"What did you say?" Liu Sihan's face stiffened, and there was some surprise in his eyes.

I don't know what my mother meant, but she said that my uncle knew what to do when he heard it. Su Chengle said, "Orange Le just came to bring the words, and now that the words have been brought, Orange Le will retire." ”

After Su Chengle finished speaking, she got up and left, closed the door of the study, she leaned in front of the door and gasped, looking at the dazzling sky, what did her mother's words mean?

Liu Sihan's face suddenly became bad, he got up and thought about it irritably, and then ordered someone to prepare a carriage and go to the Xuanyuan Marquis Mansion.

Crape Myrtle Palace.

"I've already handed over a very important personal certificate to the prince, shouldn't the prince bend the law for personal gain?" Zhang Haiyi said smugly, with a look of begging for praise, "I can finally get justice for Tang An!"

"Didn't you tell you not to get too involved in this matter?" said Gong You lightly.

"But it's already happened, there's no way to care about it, if someone escapes, what should we do with Orange An?" Zhang Haiyi touched his nose and said, "And this Mrs. Qi Hou has a lot to do with the Liu family, if it weren't for Ziwei Palace's involvement, the prince might not be able to handle it impartially, now that I know the truth of the matter, he shouldn't have any moths, otherwise in order to protect a Su Liu family, the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"It's not necessarily as simple as you think. Gong You said lightly, "But I still hope it can be simply over." ”

"Senior brother, what are you looking at so late?" Zhang Haiyi asked, "Do you still preside over the Mid-Autumn Festival Sacrifice Ceremony?"

"Yes. Gong You said, "The Ministry of Rites just sent it, and all the etiquette this year has changed a little." ”

Zhang Haiyi sat down and said with a yearning face: "When the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, it will be the time of autumn, and it will be time for me to show my skills." ”

Qihou Mansion.

"Ling'er. ”

A voice as warm as jade came, Ling'er turned around suddenly, lowered her eyes and said shyly, "Big ...... Son, you're back. When did you come back?"

"I just came back, I heard about Mama Liu, and I heard that Mama Liu is your aunt, you should be very sad now, right? If you want to cry, just cry?" Su Zixuan said.

"Slave maid ......" Ling'er's heart beat faster, "Slave maid is very uncomfortable, thank you for your concern." ”

"Mama Liu left quite suddenly. Su Zixuan said, "Did she say anything before she left?"

"What's that?" Ling'er shuddered suddenly, "No, she didn't say anything. ”

"Ling'er, look me in the eye. Su Zixuan pressed Ling'er's shoulder, "With me here, you don't have to be afraid......"

"The eldest prince, slave and maid...... Slave ......"

......

Su Zixuan left after calming Ling'er, and ran into Su Hongguang around the corner, saying, "Father, don't worry, Tang An is fine?"

"Is it really okay?" Su Hongguang breathed a sigh of relief, "Where is she now?"

"I haven't seen her, but she should be safe now. Su Zixuan said and took out a letter from his arms, "By the way, this is what Ling'er just gave me, and Mama Liu seemed to expect that Madame would be silent, so she sent a letter to her niece." I'll send the evidence to the prince now, and this time Mrs. Zi shouldn't be able to escape. ”

"I'll take a look. Su Hongguang took it and looked at it, and accepted the letter, "I'll go, you just came back, you have a long journey, take a good rest." ”

"Good. Su Zixuan said, "This matter is hard for my father." ”

Su Hongguang took the letter, went back to his study, read the content again, and frowned slightly.

The next day, the third lady of the Qihou Mansion was taken away by the prince's people on suspicion of murdering the fifth lady.

After Su Yulian heard the news, she broke into Su Jinyan's room and asked, "What happened? What happened? Why is my mother the main messenger behind the scenes? Shouldn't that person be a lady? Don't you know everything? Go to your father, go to the prince, and tell me everything you know!"
