The new house is very large, and there are lanterns hanging everywhere when you have just moved, but there are not many people living in it, only the embroidery building on the east side and the courtyard on the west side are occupied.

After the housewarming banquet, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and the huge mansion had already been quiet, and the time was in the second half of the night.

The lights had been turned off in the master bedroom of the Plum Blossom Courtyard, but the lantern hanging outside the door still brought some light.

The pale golden curtain hung on the hook, and the dragon ring sword hung next to the bed frame.

Night Terror Hall leaned on the pale golden pillow embroidered with mandarin ducks, staring at the carved ornament on the top of the bed, secretly pondering the mess.

Sanniang changed into a tulle nightdress, lying beside her with her back to it, the weather was not cold, and the thin quilt was only on her waist, and her plump breasts were still looming.

After eating last night, the two went back to their rooms to rest.

Sanniang drank a little too much, and I don't know if it was because she drank to strengthen her courage, and after making out once, she actually did what she said and really made him mess around, and she went to take a bath, made herself white and clean, and let you pick it.

Night Terror Hall was afraid that Sanniang would not be able to bear it, so he didn't plan to come to the real thing, but he overestimated his concentration a little, and Sanniang cooperated well-behaved, so he naturally borrowed something.

It's hard to describe the process in detail, but Sanniang's drunkenness was indeed woken up, and afterwards he said that he was unruly, taking advantage of the girl's drunkenness, and not admitting that such a shameful thing was voluntary.

After the night terror hall got cheap, he naturally had to take the blame, and after coaxing Sanniang with tears in his eyes to fall asleep, he lay on the pillow and secretly cultivated the jade bone dragon elephant diagram, which was a state of half-asleep and half-awake.

After cultivating for an unknown amount of time, there was a slight footstep in the verandah outside the courtyard, and he stopped at the courtyard gate to look, and then there was a soft shout:

"Young Master?"

Xiuhe's voice.

Night Terror opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the sleeping Sanniang beside him, and then got up lightly, covered Sanniang with a thin quilt, and then put on a robe and came to the door.

Because it was the first day of moving, lanterns were hung everywhere in the house, and it was customary to keep the lights on all night.

At this time, the courtyard was very bright, and Xiuhe, dressed in a light blue dress, stood at the round gate at the end of the crosswalk, holding a stack of papers in her arms and looking.

Night Terror closed the door, beckoned Xiuhe in, and waited until he got closer to ask:

"You haven't slept all night?"

"I also slept, just now the following people came over and said that they had found out the news overnight, and they were afraid that the young master would be in a hurry, so they sent it over."

Night Terror Hall took the paper, because it was inconvenient to see things in the yard, so he and Xiuhe came to the study of the main house.

The big and small in the house are run by Sanniang, basically you can use the expensive ones and will never pick the cheap ones, the furniture is all precious wood, and the luxury is light, it should be a bit arrogant, for example, Jin Sinan is dedicated to the princely house in Dawei, and the common people have to punish the crime of indiscriminately.

However, two days ago, the imperial court sent an edict of canonization, although the Marquis of Yunzhong is a false seal, but the privileges of food, clothing, housing and transportation are still calculated according to the title of Shishi, for example, you can make a four-horse carriage or an eight-carrying sedan chair in the field, and you can also use a three-horse-drawn carriage to sit in a four-person sedan chair in the capital.

For this reason, Sanniang made a special trip to change a set of furniture for him in the past two days, so that the home looks like a Hou Ye's mansion, as for things like desks, because they are particularly important to the scholars, even if the night terror hall is basically not used, or make a special one, there is an unopened pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and the little turtle and small wooden donkey ornaments he bought for the birds.

Night Terror sat down behind the desk, and Xiuhe skillfully lit the lampstand and placed it on the table, helping to grind the ink.

Seeing this, Night Terror Hall raised his hand slightly: "No need, I don't write anything, you can also sit down and help me talk about the official positions of these characters." ”

"Okay young master."

Seeing this, Xiuhe hurriedly brought a round stool from the side, sat next to the Taishi chair, picked up the paper and explained carefully:

"Chen Cang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, is a native of Ningyuan County, Yanzhou......"

The Pei family has been doing business in the capital for many years, and secretly has the background of Honghualou, so they don't know everything about the situation in the officialdom, but they still know which officials, where they are from, and where they live.

Night Terror listened carefully to Xiuhe's explanation, and secretly analyzed the feasibility of these people committing rebellion, such as being able to mobilize soldiers and horses, catch fast, or people who have a relationship with the forbidden army, as long as there is a possibility of assassination, they would rather kill the mistake than let it go, write it down and review it one by one.

Because the imperial examination province is in the central and southeast of the Great Wei Dynasty, and Yanzhou belongs to the border fortress, there are not many high-ranking officials in the capital.

"Yanzhou people with a high status in the capital, as well as the prince of Yanwang, named Dongfang Shuoyue, entered Beijing ten years ago, after the completion of Guozijian's study, the imperial court gave him an idle position in the Ministry of Rites, but his casual personality has never been to the Yamen, and he often goes to Wutong Street for amusement, and people give him the nickname 'cup opener', and his gambling skills are the best in Yun'an......"

Night Terror Hall had heard the nickname of 'cup opener' before, and when he heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he took the paper and looked at it carefully:

"Is the prince of Yan Wang powerful in the capital?"

Xiuhe thought for a while: "It's hard to say about the power, but the identity is very noble." All dynasties are respected by Yan and Liang two kings, and the son of Yan Wang is the future Yan King, and it is estimated that he is a head shorter than King Jing in the capital, and other princes will have to salute when they meet.

"But I heard that the prince of Yanwang is very easy-going, there is no shelf, and he is generous, the top brand of Oiran on Wutong Street, as long as he hears that the prince of Yanwang will come, he will not see the guests directly, and he will start work when the prince of Yanwang is finished...... But now there should be an exception, if the young master goes to Wutong Street, I guarantee that the prince of Yan will have to stand aside, and those oirans will definitely surround you......"

Night Terror shook his head, ignoring the joke and continued:

"Where does the prince of Yan Wang live?"

"It's hard to say, Yan Wang Shizi has excellent gambling skills, won a lot of shops, elegant gardens, there are industries in and out of the city, because he loves to play, he runs around all day long, basically where to sleep, and there is no industry around him to sleep in inns and restaurants...... Listening to the people below, the prince of Yan Wang is on Wutong Street tonight. ”

"What masters are there around the prince of Yan Wang?"

"The princes of the kings are guarded by masters, and the body of King Yan is beside him, I heard Sanniang say that it is called Fang Shijie, who was originally a ranger in the rivers and lakes, and later befriended the Yanwang Mansion and became a doorman, because there have been no actual achievements for many years, and the martial arts are unknown......"

After listening to the information, Night Terror Hall felt that it was very difficult for such a person who had not left Beijing for ten years and worked tirelessly to secretly contact the Pingtian Sect and even use the Hongshan Gang, and it was more likely that King Yan was the mastermind behind it, but in any case, this person must be carefully investigated.

Nian Ji here, Night Terror Hall looked at the sky, got up and said:

"Keep inquiring and let me know if there is any news. If Sanniang wakes up, she will say that I will go to the yamen and let her have a good rest. ”

"Good young master......"

"You also rest early, don't stay up late at the girl's house, what if you don't look beautiful in the future."

"Hee~"

……

In the second half of the night, most of the streets and alleys of Yun'an City have been closed, and Fengyue Field, including Wutong Street, is a street that never sleeps all night, although there are fewer pedestrians than in the evening, but on the brightly lit streets, you can still see cars and horses and drunken gentlemen.

In the Jinping Building in the middle of Wutong Street, it is full of warblers, swallows and merry chats and laughter, and in an elegant hall in the back, several rich families of Wende Bridge, accompanied by beautiful people, are pushing Pai Gow in full swing.

Dongfang Shuoyue, the prince of King Yan, was invited to have fun today, had a few drinks during the banquet, and was not very drunk, so he let him rest in a nearby room halfway.

Because he had to gamble and was too noble, the owner of Jinping Lou didn't arrange the girl smartly, but just sent decanting soup and tea.

There was a lot of laughter around me, and you could still hear a little ambiguous sound, but the room in the beautiful environment was quite quiet.

The lights had been turned off in the room, and Dongfang Shuoyue had not fallen asleep, sitting very awake on the tea couch, frowning.

Fang Shijie, the old housekeeper with a goatee, sat on the chair opposite, rubbed his fingers lightly, and whispered:

"The Pingtian Sect Master doesn't want to be with us, but it's a bit troublesome, the two martial arts are in the capital, if you want to deal with it, the risk is too big after all......

Zhong Sunyan sat behind the sea of tea, slowly boiling tea and pouring himself a drink:

"The Great Wei people like to think deeply here with a face. If it is placed in Beiliang, if you want to divert the tiger from the mountain, you will dig up the ancestral grave, the ancestor will be dug up, and no matter how big the devil is, there is a chance that you will have to go back and bury it in person......"

Zhong Sun Yan is good at strange and obscene skills, and his thinking has always been strange, and several people have become accustomed to it, so they have not made an evaluation.

On the other side of the tea couch, there was a rather tough man on his side, with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes born with a bit of murderous aura, named Teng Tianyou, who was the contact between the green bandit and the prince of Yan Wang, and said at this time:

"It's a matter of life and death for the empress, not to mention digging a grave, if Yuxu Mountain collapses, Xuanji Zhenren will not leave Beijing at this time. Killing people is just an instant, so that Xuanji Zhenren can't rush to help within half an hour, and it can be done, I can let the above find a way to do this, don't worry about it. ”

The Green Bandit is a very mysterious organization, not only does the imperial court know very little about it, but even Dongfang Shuoyue, who is an accomplice, does not know its specific structure and who the leader is, and even the name of the 'Green Bandit' is given by the imperial court.

Fang Shijie is the personal guard of the prince of Yan Wang, and he is inevitably wary of unidentified allies, and he is very suspicious that the green bandit is King Liang behind him, and he is secretly borrowing a knife to kill people in order to pick fruits.

However, the power of King Liang is in the northwest, and the manpower recruited by the green bandits is mostly in Northern Liang, which is more like the Northern Liang court is manipulating, and this speculation has not been easy to conclude.

The prince actually has doubts in his heart, but the prince has been in the capital for ten years, and the empress obviously has no intention of letting the prince return to the fiefdom, and in the end it is to see who can't bear it first, no matter who does it, the son is the first abandoned son.

If the prince waits until then, what he will get will not be to return to his hometown, but to add a knife and axe, if he wants to survive in this predicament, he can only break the situation by himself, and if he succeeds, he will get everything, and if he loses, he will flee from scratch in a foreign land, and no matter how much he is better than waiting for death in the capital.

So knowing that the green bandit may be a double-edged sword, without help, the prince still has to use it.

Seeing that Teng Tianyou took over this matter, Fang Shijie thought about it for a while and said:

"The old man has always had a doubt. This time, King Yan can get the imperial rule, and the prince will become the crown prince, for the sake of imperial power, which is reasonable. And Brother Teng and the people behind the scenes, what they have done in the past ten years seems to just want to pull the empress off the horse, as for what they want to get after the fact, Fang Mou can't think through it. ”

Teng Tianyou said: "The organization is tight, I only know an old man who led me into the door back then, and I have never seen the real face. I joined it because of the great powers above, rescued me from the Beiliang Death Prison, and helped me clear my identity and give countless family businesses to settle down.

"I don't know what I'm asking for...... As far as I know, the Green Bandits didn't appear just ten years ago, and it seems that they just don't want anyone to dominate the world; The former Northwest Royal Court of Jiazi collapsed, and it is said that there is a shadow behind it, and now it is the same reason to deal with the empress. ”

When Fang Shijie heard this, he frowned slightly: "Do you think that the empress can dominate the world, and only came to prominence ten years ago?" ”

Dongfang Shuoyue replied: "The empress is very ambitious, and the three steps of enriching the people in the country, reducing the power of the feudal domain, and pacifying the world are almost clear. However, these three steps are usually completed by the relay of three generations of emperors, and the possibility of the empress wanting to complete them all in her lifetime is too low. ”

Teng Tianyou said: "Teng is a martial artist in the rivers and lakes, how to arrange it for me to communicate, I don't know much about other things......

Puff puff~~

While he was talking, behind the noisy Jinping Building, there were suddenly a few sounds of flapping wings, and the reflection of a jackdaw appeared on the window paper.

The four people in the room were silent, Zhong Sun Yan looked back, frowned slightly, and then looked at Fang Shijie, gesturing with his hand.

Fang Shijie knew that there was an uninvited guest, so he immediately got up and straightened his robe, picked up a cane from the chair, and quietly walked out of the room......

Behind Sycamore Street is a deep dark alley.

Although it is only a line away from the most prosperous street in the capital, the gap between the two sides is like two completely different worlds.

On the main street is the fresh clothes and angry horses, and the back alley is the residence of turtle slaves and miscellaneous servants, and sundries can be seen everywhere in the lanes with nine bends and eighteen bends, and even a few secret kilns are opened for those outsiders who can't afford to spend on Wutong Street, but want to play in Wutong Street and go back to their hometown to brag.

It is estimated that it is already about three o'clock in the morning, the moon has reached the horizon, and the alley is half moonlit and half dark, and half of the pedestrians are not visible.

Wearing a hat on his head, changing into a night suit and wrapped in a black cloth, the Night Terror Hall walked in the dark part of the alley, and sometimes heard a noisy sound from the depths of the building complex in his ears:

"Uh-huh~~Ah-"

"Cool ......"

"Come, drink ......"

Bird, who was forced to work overtime, obviously didn't have much energy at this time, and stood directly on the hat of the night terror hall, looking left and right, observing the clues around him.

The purpose of Night Terror's trip is the primary target of the investigation, just now I learned from Xiuhe that the prince of Yan Wang is on Wutong Street, because the prince of Yan Wang has never traveled sneakily, he came to inquire casually, and asked the exact location.

Seeing that there was still half a mile away from Jinping Tower, the night terror hall turned silent, like a ghost floating through the alley without hurrying.

But when he walked behind the Longyin Tower, he heard several loud voices coming from the depths of the house:

"It's not a secret, Brother Ye just came to the capital, I also had a fight with him, I cut out three inches, and his knife went up to the neck, although Wang was defeated, but the weight of this battle, you should know it in your hearts......"

"Brother Wang, don't blow it, obviously you were sent by King Jing to run to win over, and you almost got cut down on the street by touching a knife from behind......"

"Hey! For you, can you feel the knife from behind? That's a contemporary sword leader, last time I was invited to drink on Wutong Street, and I ordered a dozen girls to accompany you, do you have this blessing? ”

"Not really...... Anyway, the night marquis is playing here, can you let it go? ”

"This kind of thing can only be understood but not spoken......"

"Oh, got it......"

？？

Night Terror paused and said secretly: You understand what's wrong with you?!

The last time he invited Wang Chihu to drink flower wine, but he didn't touch it, and he went with the wine, and this word reached the ears of the big stupid, and he had to tear his painting up.

It was also the first time that he knew that the first time he passed by Heiya was stopped by Wang Chihu, and he was stupidly and secretly commanded......

Night Terror Hall was recalling the scene when he had just entered Beijing, and the bird standing on the hat suddenly raised his head and looked into the depths of the alley.

Night Terror Hall suddenly came back to his senses, and raised his eyes to look at the buildings in the depths of the alleyway, but saw that in the direction of the bird, a small bird spread its wings and disappeared into the house.

"Is there a situation?"

"Goo."

The bird is a bird of prey, probably thinking that the bird is afraid that it will hunt at night before running away, and shook its head to release the alarm.

Night Terror Hall frowned secretly, because he used falcons to calculate people all year round, and his wariness of birds in the sky was much higher than that of ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, and if the other party was good at this, it was estimated that the same would be true.

At present, the investigation has just begun, and the Night Terror Hall is afraid that the identity of the opponent will be exposed, so it will startle the snake, so he wants to let the bird not show his head first, fly and jump on the wall, and after looking around the buildings, he took a sword from the waist of a drunken boy, and then continued to walk towards Jinping Tower......

Thank you [Qin Xiaoshi] for the big guy's reward!
