Xue Junwei, who was already a member of the Criminal Department, easily went to death row in the Criminal Department.

After many days, this death row has not changed much, it is still so dark and damp.

After coming in, Xue Junwu stuffed some silver for those jailers, and then found Jing You's cell with two food boxes to eat.

The time came impartially, just in time for the meal, and the brothers smelled the fragrance, and each of them stretched out his hands like wild horses in a fence, and looked sideways from the inside.

"Master Pony!"

Seeing that it was Xue Jun, Wang Hao's small and nimble head was the first to come out, and he shouted excitedly: "We know that Master Ma will not forget his brother." ”

"Nature."

Xue Junwu walked up, and after a jailer opened the door for him, he carried two food boxes and put them in the middle of the death row: "This is not qualified to enter and exit the criminal department, so I will come and bring you some food, pork knuckle and pig's head, roast chicken and goose are all to quench hunger, eat while it's hot." ”

"Hehe, it's still the master of the horse who understands us."

"Although the chef of this princess's mansion is delicious, the small amount is really not enough, or these are hungry and hungry."

The king and all the prison brothers he knew that day hugged him, and after saying a few nice words one by one, he feasted on them.

Jing You, who has the best relationship with Xue Junyou, is no exception, in addition to eating, Xue Junyou also brought them wine, and the group of people had a very happy meal, but they spoiled the surrounding prisons.

Xue Junwu didn't get involved, this was like a battlefield where wild wolves grabbed food, and he was terrible about soiling this set of official uniforms on his body.

It's not that he is arrogant, but the main thing is that he made a poor appearance on the first day of taking office, which is really not like words, not to mention that Xue Jun is worried about this, and he is not just visiting his brothers.

"Brother Xue, is this an official?"

Jing You, who had filled her stomach, walked over and said with a smile: "With the princess here, I guess it will rise step by step." ”

Xue Jun shook his head with a smile: "It may not be possible to rise step by step, Brother Jing has also seen it, the official position of the ninth grade is at most an official." ”

"That's not bad either."

Jing You knew very well in his heart that having an official position as a colt was tantamount to setting a precedent, with Brother Xue's courage and talent, even if he soared, it was only a matter of time.

"By the way, what position is Brother Xue in now?" Jing You asked again.

"Deputy Director of the Crime Division!" Xue Jun replied worriedly, and deliberately raised some of his voice.

Not far away, Hua, who was talking and laughing with her brothers on death row, stopped smiling immediately, and her eyes involuntarily glanced here.

"The official position is really not big, and I just took office and have to deal with the unsolved cases sixteen years ago that intersected with the Nine Infant Capital Protector Mansion, which is very tiring."

Xue Jun said worriedly, but his eyes were on Shanghua's unintentional eyes, he still had a warm and jade-like smile on his face, but Hua Wuyi's burning face looked even more terrifying.

"Brother Hua? Is there something wrong with it? Why is the face so ugly? ”

The smile on Xue Jun's face was even warmer, as if he was very concerned, and as if he was hinting at something.

Seeing flowers unintentionally was another reason why Xue Jun was worried, because he saw it from the brief description of the palace fire case sixteen years ago.

Although only the five-year-old little county lord escaped that day, there was one less of the dozens of charred corpses, and it was the righteous brother who was only six years older than the little county lord back then, Nanyun Wang Hua Qiyizi Hua Anling.

This Hua Anling was the son of King Nanyun's subordinates, because he died on the battlefield that year, he was adopted by King Nanyun, after the fire that year, the body of about ten years old was not found at the scene, but since ten months later, King Nanyun claimed that Hua Anling also died in the fire.

From that day on, everyone seemed to know that King Nanyun had lost his righteous son again, but the world could hide it, but it couldn't hide it from the Nine Infant Protectors. The news that Yoshiko's body was not found was forever recorded in the brief account of the fire in the Nine Infant Metropolitan Protectorate.

It's just that what has been a headache for the Nine Infant Protectors is that since then, that righteous son has really evaporated from the world as if he was dead.

Hearing Xue Jun's sudden inquiry, Hua Wuyi's face was even more stunned, but in an instant, a smile squeezed out, and it was even more terrifying and gloomy set off by the burning face: "It's okay, it's just a little surprised to hear that Brother Xue has entered the crime department, your martial arts are so good, I thought it would be a military attaché." ”

"You can't say that, Brother Hua."

Xue Jun Chonghua unintentionally stopped smiling, and his face changed with a touch of confidence: "Actually, I can be literate and martial... And luckily, I always have some clues at my fingertips. ”

Hua smiled at him unintentionally, and said no more.

"Brother Hua, I remember hearing from the brothers before."

Xue Jun pretended to be curious, and walked quickly to Hua Yiyi's side: "You are a distant relative of King Nanyun, and the injury on your face was also caused by the fire that happened to be burned by the fire when you went with your parents to celebrate Princess Nanyun's birthday, and then because someone laughed at the injury on your face, you killed the family, is this true?" ”

"It's true."

Hua didn't intend to look at him without any hesitation: "Didn't I also tell Brother Xue about this?" It's all a mistake committed by a young man, and if it weren't for something to do with King Nanyun, I'm afraid I would have become a grave long ago. ”

Xue Junwu nodded, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, for him, it didn't matter if he hesitated or not, because from the moment he heard the expression of the Nine Infant Capital Protector Mansion and the sixteen-year unsolved case, he was suspicious enough to suspect this distant relative of the Nanyun King.

After spending an hour on death row, Xue Junwei was released from the prison of the Criminal Department.

For him, the fire in the palace of the king of Nanyun seems to be the beginning of everything, when he was investigating how the princess of Gongsun Huang died, he found the letters of the princess of Nanyun and the princess of Gongsun before his death, and the Nine Babies Duhu asked him to check the fire, which means that this fire seems to be related to the Marquis of Tanglin.

The palace of the king of Nanyun is not only the beginning, but also the key, and the small lord who survived that year and the evaporated son of the king of Nanyun were the key to the fire.

Xue Jun followed what he thought in his heart, and went back to the Crime Department to find Lu Li and turned out the file about Hua Unintentionally.

It was the fifth year of Yong'an, which happened to happen after the fire in the palace, and what was recorded on it was the same as what Hua had no intention of saying.

He killed people at that time, and killed many people, and it was inevitable that he would have died, but in the end, after various reasons, he was temporarily defined as being put on death row and waiting to be released.

I didn't convict and didn't let go, and I knew at a glance that there was some special reason.

Just watching, Lu Li pushed the door in from the outside: "Deputy Division, there are your relatives looking for you outside." ”

"Relatives?"

Xue Junwu put down the file in his hand and looked up at Lu Li suspiciously. His biological parents' family has been killed by the Ming people, and his adoptive parents' family is a businessman, since he married the princess, he knows how to avoid suspicion for him, and he has never looked for him, what other relatives are there.

"Let him in." After thinking about it, Xue Junwei still wanted to see this relative.

He waited in his small room for a while, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then seeing the door being pushed open, Xue Junwu looked up and saw a young man in brocade clothes being brought in by Lu Li, with a cold face.

"Uh... You go out first, little brother. ”

Xue Jun pretended to be calm and got up and said, "It is indeed a relative I haven't seen for a long time. ”

Lu Li nodded, turned around and walked out.

Xue Junwu's face changed suddenly, he glanced at the young man, and immediately opened the door again and looked around.

Seeing that no one was eavesdropping outside, Fang breathed a heavy sigh of relief, he turned around and looked at the young man in surprise: "Why do you dare to come to me blatantly?!" ”

"What's that?"

The young man's cold face didn't show any expression, and it seemed that there was some complaint: "By the way, I'm afraid the nine horses don't know my name yet." In the lower crimson clouds, thank you for saving me last night. ”

"Then do you know why I want to save you?"

Xue Jun's head was a little big, if the Nine Infant Protector Mansion had been secretly monitoring him, then what was the point of what he did last night.

"You don't have to defend me like you see a plague god."

Scarlet Cloud frowned, obviously a little unhappy: "If I hadn't been stopped when I went to the princess's mansion just now, I wouldn't have looked for you." ”

"Do you dare to go to the Princess's Mansion?"

Xue Jun's eyes were wide open, but his face was full of disbelief, and he asked again: "The number of guards in the princess's mansion has tripled today, and stopping you will allow you to escape again." ”

"I asked to see Princess Anyang from the main gate." Scarlet Cloud replied, "It's just that they won't let me see it." ”

"That's nature."

Xue Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, no one would have thought that the assassin who broke into the princess's mansion at night would swagger and ask to see him the next day.

For the person in front of him, Xue Jun thought that he must contact him, but it was not this time. At this time, the wind was very tight, and he didn't want to be regarded as an accomplice to the assassination of the princess.

But this person named Scarlet Cloud is looking for him, so he can't let go of this opportunity.

"Then you came here to find me to enter the princess's mansion?"

Xue Jun pretended to be puzzled: "Why do you want to see Princess Anyang so much?" ”

"Because I've been investigating privately for a long time, and I've found out a lot of things. In the end, I found out, in terms of seniority, Princess Anyang is my cousin, so I want to meet this relative. Scarlet Cloud replied truthfully.

"What?"

The straightforward and casual answer shocked Xue Jun's heart: "According to what you say, your mother and Gongsun Emperor Guifei are sisters?" ”

"Yes."

Scarlet Cloud nodded, and pointed to the jade pendant on Xue Jun's waist: "That says Gongsun Ruofei gave his daughter Junyue - the secret of the scarlet secret... And my mother's name is Gongsun Ruoxia, although she never told me about her family, but I personally looked for the scarlet fairy in the Red Jade Palace, and he calculated the answer for me. ”

"How can I trust you?" Xue Jun opened his mouth tentatively.

The corners of Scarlet Cloud's mouth curled slightly, as if he had already prepared: "The answers are all in the things that the princess's mother hid in the scarlet secret, I know that you are also trying to open the secret treasure without telling others, as long as you believe me, we will find a way to open the secret treasure." ”
