Jin Yan looked at Gu Jinhe strangely.

They were talking well, and what was my brother suddenly doing in front of them?

Gu Jinhe was a little sad by her eyes.

The younger sister who grew up, the younger sister of the heavy color light brother, suddenly not so cute!

Gu Jinhe explained: "Your Majesty ordered me to assist His Highness the Seventh in investigating the case, and it happened that I had something to do to go out of the city, so I came together. ”

Jin Yan glanced at the sky: "Now? ”

Gu Jinhe nodded, and said a little apologetically: "Brother broke his promise, I can't accompany you home today, let the guards escort you back first." ”

"I'm fine, but it's getting dark, where are you going? Can you come back in the evening? Jin Yan said worriedly.

Gu Jinhe said: "There is an inn near the place where the case was investigated, if it is too late to come back, we will rest there." ”

Jin Yan: "Then you pay attention to safety." ”

Xie Yan solemnly assured: "Don't worry, the county lord is here, and Brother Ling will be fine." ”

……

After sending Jin Yan away, Gu Jinhe and Xie Yan and their party began to gallop again.

I don't know how long it took for them to look up and see the stars in the sky, and they stopped in front of a deserted village.

There was not a single starlight in sight in the whole village, as if there were no people living at all.

Gu Jinhe listened intently for a moment, but there was still no movement, only the sound of their breathing and the sound of the horses restlessly kicking the horses' hooves were left.

"Your Highness, are you sure it's here?" Gu Jinhe asked suspiciously.

Xie Yan said that the intelligence was written here, and instructed He Ban, "Send someone to check it out, and report anything unusual to me immediately." ”

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, startling the crows that they didn't know where they were hiding.

Several terrible voices rang out, causing several young guards in the team to shiver.

Gu Jinhe's heart was also a little hairy.

After a while, the guards came to report, "Your Highness, nothing has been found. ”

Xie Yan frowned, "Did you check from house to house?" ”

Guard: "......"

When the two people in the vanguard looked at each other, the latter said: "Your Highness, we went into two households, and there was nothing, only a skeleton shelf." ”

He was so scared that he almost urinated on the spot.

Another said: "That place is too gloomy, subordinates, subordinates have been afraid of ghosts since they were children, and they dare not go in, Your Highness, you punish your subordinates!" ”

Gu Jinhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he is not the only one who is afraid.

But Xie Yan didn't seem to be affected at all, he let the two get up, and then rode away.

He Ban called "Your Highness" and immediately followed.

Gu Jinhe hesitated, and also kept up with Xie Yan's pace.

Prime Minister's Office.

After dinner, Jin Yan chased Gu Yong to the study.

"Daddy, what case is the Seventh Highness doing?"

Gu Yong was writing something, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words: "The people on the third prince's side said that the crown prince joined forces with the folk woman to build an arsenal with the help of the wealthy Wen family, and also took out a new style of knife, Your Majesty was furious and ordered the seventh prince to investigate thoroughly." ”

Jin Yan was stunned for a few seconds before he spoke, "Does the prince not like to live so much?" ”

Gu Yong was amused by Jin Yan's words.

He touched Jin Yan's hair and said, "It has nothing to do with whether the prince wants to live or not, now he can't choose." ”

Emperor Jianping was a tolerant and benevolent father, but he was also a dictatorial and autocratic emperor.

The emperor is getting old, but the crown prince has joined forces with the huge rich to make weapons privately, whether he has the intention of rebellion or not, or what he does is to increase the army, it makes no difference to the emperor.

Waiting for the prince, there is only one end.
