When Song Wan led the team to completely destroy several Southern Liang squads on the southern border of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the penetration speed of the Southern Liang into the Northern Wei Dynasty slowed down significantly, and the two sides remained in a state of peace for a long time afterward.

Later, Xiao Tong, the prince of Southern Liang, inspected the border, although there was still no big move on the Southern Liang side, but the situation had quietly changed.

After a night of drizzle, the sky was like a wash, but today's Jinling City did not clear up, and it was still a little gloomy.

Shen Guo had breakfast in the palace and stayed for a while before going straight back to the inn, before leaving, Yu Wanli told Shen Jing to pay more attention to the strangers around him recently.

Shen Kuang knew what Yu Wanli meant, so he happily agreed.

Walking on the street, Shen Jing could clearly feel that Fengming Street was a lot more deserted than yesterday.

The shops along the street are still open, but there are hardly any visitors.

Shen Kuangzi also understood what this was, and before leaving, Yu Wanli also showed Shen Kuang some descriptions about Jinyilang, in Shen Kuang's opinion, the Jinyilang of Southern Liang was the same as the Northern Wei Dynasty's Supervisor Heaven Division and the Earth Network, and he was subordinate to the emperor, and he was an extremely terrifying force in the hands of the emperor.

Along the side of the street, Shen Jing could vaguely see some figures of the yamen catching fast, their pace was fast, and there was a sense of tension on everyone's face.

The Shen condition of the sword naturally attracted the attention of these fast catchers, but the fast catchers approached and left after making sure that he was not a suspect, without saying a word the whole time.

In addition to these visible catches, Shen Jing has also been paying attention to whether he has been targeted by strangers, but he seems to have been safe all the way.

Later, Shen Guo walked all the way back to the inn, and when he passed by the boxing gym, Shen Jing saw Wei Twelve and others who were training hard in the courtyard.

Wei Twelve smiled at him when he saw Shen Jing outside the door, but the master saw that Wei Twelve was severely punished.

Jia Yan slapped Wei Twelve's leg mercilessly with a stick, and Wei Twelve's face turned red and endured the pain, not saying a word.

Seeing this, Shen Kuang hugged Jia Yan with a fist, which was a simple salute.

Back at the inn, the old shopkeeper saw Shen Guo near the door, and when Shen Guo stepped into the door, the old shopkeeper immediately stopped his work and said with a smile to Shen Jing: "The son didn't return last night, and this morning I see that your complexion is not good, I'm afraid that last night's Spring Festival was too warm."

The old shopkeeper is also a bright person, and he turned a corner and said what he thought quite secretly.

But don't look at what the old shopkeeper said, but in fact, I am also envious. Qinlou Chu Pavilion rouge pile, along the Qinhuai River is the old shopkeeper, and he hasn't been there much when he was young, let alone staying there.

In the eyes of the old shopkeeper, since Shen Guan would live here with him, he must not have much money on hand, so most of it was a night of warmth that he had sold his hue in exchange, and the old shopkeeper was still very sure of this idea.

Shen Kuang saw the old man's obscene smile, so he also understood what he meant.

However, Shen Kuang didn't intend to explain anything, and after walking in the door, he smiled as he walked: "I should rest for a while if I am tired today, my horse will be tired of the shopkeeper."

The old shopkeeper waved his hand and smiled when he heard this: "It's easy to say, the son is resting in peace, and I will send someone to take care of your horses."

Shen Guo thanked him when he heard this.

ushered in the send-off, the old shopkeeper has seen too many different people here, what extraordinary, ordinary he has seen, decades of eyesight here, so; The old shopkeeper felt that he could not be wrong.

In the eyes of the old shopkeeper, Shen Kuang is an interesting and different Jianghu person, quite interesting.

After Shen Jing went straight back to the room, an ordinary-looking guest walked in wearing a single coat and a hat.

Seeing the guests coming, a guy had already stepped forward to greet the guests, and the old shopkeeper glanced at it a little and continued his work without paying much attention.

The calm after the storm in the city is really calm for some, such as the Yu family with Ru Linlang, but for some this is just the beginning, and bigger and more violent storms may still be waiting for them.

After the Shangyuan Festival, the whole New Year will pass, and the new year will begin, and it should be a busy year.

Jinling Fan

Shu, there are many traders who come here to do business, and a large number of caravans from afar are being inspected outside the West City Gate today.

These caravans were all-encompassing, and there were all kinds of caravans from the south to the north, such as the camel caravans in the Western Regions, the merchants of Miaojiang, and even the caravans of Nanzhao and Northern Wei. Therefore, the West City Gate has a special passage for caravans to enter and exit, and because of the emergency situation last night, the investigation of today's caravans into the city has become extremely strict.

If someone stands in front of the city gate and looks backwards, they can see a caravan from the Northern Wei Dynasty at the back of the caravan, this caravan has a total of five carriages, bringing all the specialties of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and such materials are quite popular in the Southern Liang.

In the caravan was a woman dressed in white with a white curtain, and she was now staring at the very slow procession in front of her.

Soon after, the people in the group who had gone to inquire about the situation returned and explained to the woman in white, "My lord, it is said that there was an assassination in Jinling City last night, so the inspection of the caravan entering the city has been tightened since this morning."

"Assassination? Have you ever found out who it is related to?" The woman asked.

The subordinate continued, "The target of that gang's assassination was the lord of Xiangdong in Southern Liang."

Along the way, it is rare to hear a good thing.

After the subordinate finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on the woman's face, "I know, you go down."

The assassination of Xu Yanran, the lord of Xiangdong Wang, was indeed a good thing for the woman in white, because these people were here to disturb the muddy waters of Daliang, and now that someone has helped, she is happy to see it.

There were about 14 or 5 people in the group of women in white, except for an older man, the rest were all capable men, and the men looked not surprising, they all looked like passers-by who were traveling from south to north.

After getting the news, the woman in white looked at the slow-moving team in front of her and was no longer displeased.

It is said that it is a strict investigation, but in fact, for these caravans, nothing can be found cleanly, and it is difficult to find out the guards who deliberately conceal it.

Half an hour later, the woman in white and her party had successfully entered the city after careful inspection by the soldiers, although the soldiers knew that they were from the Northern Wei Dynasty, but they did not deliberately embarrass them.

The woman in white and the old man beside her walked in the middle of the team, and they walked all the way along Fengming Street, planning to find an inn to live in first, and the sale of goods could not be completed in a day or two.

The desertion of Fengming Street was somewhat unexpected by the woman in white, but they soon ran into a team of brocade clothes who were under strict investigation.

Out of vigilance, the woman in white subconsciously looked at these people a few more times. However, the other party's attention is not on them, so they just pass each other.

After wiping with the other party, the old man next to the woman said lightly: "It's Nanliang's brocade lang, and the strength of this squad is not weak."

Although the old man said it simply, the woman in white knew that such an evaluation was actually very high.

At the moment, as newcomers who are not familiar with life, the most important thing is to settle down first and then slowly explore, so the woman in white did not pay much attention to this team of brocade langs.

Out of safety and secrecy, the group quickly drove away from Fengming Street, and with the help of the Yaxingya people, they quickly rented a yard.

The location happened to be neither lively nor deserted, and after finding a place to live, they were busy unloading the goods, which was the key to their ability to hide their identities in Jinling City.

Although the current Jinling City is a place of right and wrong, it still can't stop some people from flocking to it.

The old emperor Xiao Yan had been worshipping the Buddha for a long time after the morning court today, and he actually had a lot of uncertainties in his heart, and he couldn't get an answer from the ministers for a while, so he wanted to ask the Buddha in his heart for comfort.

Xiao Yan was still beside Chao Qi, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the futon with his eyes closed, he kept dialing the Buddhist beads in his hand, and kept reciting the scriptures in his mouth.

"Chaoqi, is there anything else in the city today?"

Chao Qi knew about Yuan Zhenhuan leading people to kill people in the city, but he didn't say it from this aspect, Chao Qi said: "Back to Your Majesty, the wind in the city is a little tight today, not only Fengming Street, but also the Qinhuai River, there are also a lot of guests."

Xiao Yan chuckled when he heard this: "Look

They were a little scared."

Chao Qi also smiled and said, "Your Majesty is famous, who dares to be a courtier is not afraid."

Xiao Yan smiled at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, but he didn't know whether he was laughing at himself or mocking those clowns who jumped off the beam.

Xiao Yan said: "It's good to know that you're afraid, but I'm afraid that some people's fears are pretended."

Chao Qi said softly, "Then Your Majesty will make them really afraid."

Xiao Yan nodded when he heard this, and then he said, "Later, you will go to the Xiangdong Palace, the little seventh son, and Xiang'er, pass on my words to the palace, and I will definitely give them an explanation."

Chao Qi bowed down when he heard this: "The slave obeys."

Jin Yilang didn't arrive overnight, and Xiao Huaian didn't sleep all night, but what should come will come after all, and he can't hide.

After the morning dawn, Yuan Zhenhuan led the people to the outside of the Linshan Courtyard, and Xiao Huaian and an old slave went out to greet him. After arriving, Yuan Zhenhuan didn't have any nonsense and immediately ordered Jin Yilang to enter the hospital to search.

After giving the order, Yuan Zhenhuan said lightly: "The prince knows the seriousness of last night's incident better than me, so if there is anything that exceeds the rules, please bear with the prince."

Hearing this, Xiao Huai'an hurriedly said: "Jin Yilang will do his best to cooperate with this king, and this king also hopes that Lord Yuan can help this king get rid of suspicion, although Lord Yuan does not need to care about this king."

When Yuan Zhenhuan heard this, he hugged Xiao Huai'an and immediately followed him into the other courtyard.

After seeing Yuan Zhenhuan enter the courtyard, Xiao Huaian asked in a low voice, "Old Sui, are those traces ready?"

When the old man named Sui Duan heard this, he said, "Lord Wang, rest assured, everything has been prepared, and with those traces, he is not afraid that Jinyi Lang will not suspect the Great Wei. Lord Wang, you still have to take care of yourself after you go with them for a while."

Xiao Huai'an said nonchalantly when he heard this, "It's okay, they won't do anything to me. However, even with these, it is not enough to completely clear our suspicions, so in the two days that I am away, Elder Sui, you should pay attention to restraining your subordinates."

Sui Du said, "Subordinates obey."

Jin Yilang's search in the Linshan Courtyard was meticulous and meticulous, and the traces deliberately left by Sui Duan naturally did not escape Jin Yilang's search, but Yuan Zhenhuan did not dwell on these matters.

Later, after the search, Xiao Huaian was taken back to the city by Jin Yilang.

And Sui Duan, under the instruction of Xiao Huai'an, cut off all contact between the palace and the outside world in a short period of time, and did not contact the mysterious person for the time being.

After searching the Linshan Courtyard, Jin Yilang's task was basically completed, there were many people who should be killed, and what should be done was also completed.

In the Linshan Courtyard, Jin Yilang actually didn't find any key clues, but Yuan Zhenhuan locked a point, and the mastermind behind this matter has not really surfaced.

Although the problem was not completely solved, Xiao Yan's goal was achieved.

On the way back to the city with Jin Yilang, Yuan Zhenhuan, who was traveling with him, did not say a word to Xiao Huai'an, and Xiao Huai'an did not say much.

After being escorted to Jinyilang's prison, he was placed in a relatively comfortable cell, and Yuan Zhenhuan did not take any harsh measures against Xiao Huai'an.

At this moment, the turmoil caused by the assassination last night really stopped, but the tension of the people below did not immediately dissipate.

After escorting Xiao Huai'an back to the prison, Yuan Zhenhuan went to see Xiao Yan.

Seeing Yuan Zhenhuan, Xiao Yan immediately signaled Chao Qi and Xiao Xiang, the princess of Changle, to go to the palace to visit Xu Yanran.

After Chao Qi slowly retreated, Xiao Yan got up and walked towards Yuan Zhenhuan and smiled, "Yuan Lao went out for a walk with me."

Yuan Zhenhuan nodded in response, Xiao Yan walked forward, and he followed.

Walking out of the imperial study, Xiao Yan admired the palace city after the rain, and after a while, he slowly spoke, "Old Yuan, how is the matter investigated?"

Yuan Zhenhuan heard the words and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, those loose forces have been settled, and all that remains is a few big fish."

Xiao Yan smiled when he heard this, "How many big fish does Elder Yuan think there are?"

Yuan Zhenhuan said: "There are not many big fish, but the number is just right."

Xiao Yan nodded with satisfaction, agreeing with Yuan Zhenhuan's statement, and then he asked again, "How is that kid in Huai'an?"

Yuan Zhenhuan still replied unhurriedly: "His Royal Highness King Yuzhang has been escorted back to the prison by Jin Yilang, and His Royal Highness will be released when everything is clarified."

Xiao Yan heard this: "Huai'an can be regarded as suffering an unjustified disaster. Try to suppress the aftermath of the matter in the past few days, and then continue to deal with it when the limelight has passed, and now is the time to stabilize the world."

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, Yuan Zhenhuan did not answer, Yuan Zhenhuan never interfered in state affairs, and only a few words were few.

Unconsciously, the two of them walked to the highest point of the imperial city again, and a cool breeze blew under the gloomy sky, and after a night, there were no fireworks in the city.

Xiao Yan stood with his hands in his hands, letting the cool breeze blow without saying a word.

When he first landed here, it wasn't like this for four years.

Xiao Yan's heart was touched, and he said, "Elder Yuan."

"Your Majesty."

"They're right, aren't they?"

Xiao Yan didn't answer immediately after asking Yuan Zhenhuan, and Xiao Yan was not in a hurry, so he waited quietly for Yuan Zhenhuan's response.

After a long time, a voice came from the cool breeze, "Is this what Your Majesty wants?"

After Yuan Zhenhuan finished speaking, this time it was Xiao Yan's turn to be silent.

There was no response, and there was no response for a long time.
