After Shen Ye left Liu Qingyao's courtyard, he hurriedly walked towards the south gate of the inner city, and saw teams of patrol soldiers running beside him, Shen Ye knew that every moment he stayed now, it was more dangerous.

When he arrived at the south gate of the inner city, Shen Ye's heart was cold, the south gate, which was usually guarded by few people, was already full of soldiers at the moment, Shen Ye stepped forward and saw a row of portraits pasted at the door, all of which were painted like the old Taoist, Shen Ye put his mind at ease, lowered his head and went straight to the city gate.

The city guards immediately stopped him and said, "Does the prince have a warrant from the city lord when he goes out of the south gate?" ”

Shen Ye took out the hundred family waist cards and said, "There is no warrant from the city lord, but I am a child of the hundred families, I want to go out to do something, and I will come back immediately." ”

The soldier guarding the city apologized and said: "The Lord of the State has an order, anyone who wants to go out of the south gate in the future must obtain his consent, and he can only leave the city with his warrant. ”

Shen Ye said helplessly: "Then forget it." ”

When I turned around, I saw Bai Zihuan's brother and sister coming over, Bai Zihuan saw him, ran to him and said: "I know that Brother Shen is here, and the state capital has arranged a place for me to stay in the inner city, so we don't have to go back." Then he grinned and said, "How is it, how did you talk to Miss Liu?" ”

Shen Ye couldn't leave the inner city, he was a little impatient, and when he heard Bai Zihuan's words, he didn't want to pay attention to him, but when he saw the bruises on his face, his heart softened: "It's okay, we didn't say much." ”

Bai Zihuan thought that he didn't talk well, so he didn't ask any more, took Shen Ye's arm and walked back, and said: "You don't have to be anxious if you want to go out of the inner city, before in the Liu Family Courtyard, you should have heard that the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was assassinated by the assassin, the assassin has not been caught yet, and the Dao chief, the one we met before, it is said that there is no trace in the morning, so the inner city will be so martial law, and the inner city will naturally open as soon as the matter passes." I'm staying here for now, and the garden scenery on the west side is also very good, so I can go out for a walk and communicate with other sons. ”

Bai Zihuan led Shen Ye towards his residence, and at this moment, there was a commotion in front of him.

Bai Zihuan stopped the soldiers running from there and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The soldier looked at their clothes and did not speak, and left directly.

Bai Zihuan and Shen Ye glanced at each other, both of them were curious, Bai Zihuan and a few people stepped forward, and happened to see what Chen Wuchang was explaining in the crowd, Bai Zihuan shouted: "Chen Wuchang!"

Seeing that it was a few hundred sons, Chen Wu walked up to him and asked, "What do you have to say?" ”

Bai Zihuan said: "Is something wrong?" ”

Seeing that several people were in the courtyard of the Liu family before, Chen Wuchang knew about the murder of Yu Yao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, so he no longer concealed it, and said: "The murderer of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites has caught one. ”

Shen Ye's heart was sudden, but Bai Zihuan was puzzled: "Caught one?" You mean there are other assassins? ”

Chen Wuchang knew that he had missed his mouth, so he didn't dare to say more, so he confessed his sin and left immediately.

Shen Ye was thinking about it beside him: "Who was caught?" ”

Shen Ye knew that in addition to himself and that Dao Chang at that time, there was someone on the other side, and that person deliberately made a noise when he was about to be arrested to help him escape, which was regarded as his life-saving benefactor, so was it the benefactor who was caught by the government at this moment, or was it the old Dao Chang who was with him at the time?

......

In a manor house deep in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Smack!"

After listening to what General Zhao said, Meng Feng angrily threw the cup next to him to the ground.

General Zhao Shen knelt in front of him and said guiltily: "My lord, it was all a dereliction of duty, and I was careless for a while, which put Lao Shangshu in danger, and also made me wait to end up in the current situation." ”

Qiao Laoshangshu leaned on the side of the bed, coughed twice, and said, "Xiaofeng, something has happened, and now we are still discussing who is right and who is wrong, and it is imperative to deal with a few things." ”

Meng Feng raised his head and sighed, his eyes were full of tiredness, Meng Feng thought for a long time and said: "The first and most important thing is that we must catch those three voyeurs as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Qiao Zheng, who was wiping the blood on his face, heard it and wondered: "Where are the three of them?" ”

General Zhao Shen, who knelt down, explained: "When I chased the other person, I saw that there were stones scattered outside the door, which was the stone on the rockery on the side of the main hall. ”

Qiao Zheng thought about it, nodded, and agreed with this statement.

Meng Feng said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, Qiao Zheng reacted quickly and didn't let Yu Yao tell the identity of the teacher, and those voyeurs shouldn't know the teacher, otherwise at this moment, they only need to pass it on to the family, and the matter will not be something we can handle." ”

Lao Shangshu looked at Meng Feng and said, "Don't the major families have any reaction?" ”

Meng Feng replied: "After I left, I have ordered my subordinates to look at the residences of all the housekeepers of the family, except for the woman of the Liu family and the third child of the Song family who have entered the residence of the head of the Liu family, the rest of the family has not moved, I heard that the people of the Liu family said that Liu Wanxiu, the head of the Liu family, just asked his daughter to come over and reprimand, and the third child of the Song family also came to intercede because of this matter, and after the two left, there was no other movement. ”

Qiao Zheng saw that he talked about the Liu family, thinking of the scene at that time and the look of the maid, he said to Meng Feng seriously: "I still think that there is a problem with the people of the hundred families. ”

"I have issued an order to close the inner city, no one is allowed to go out without my warrant, the son of the hundred families is also under my surveillance, if he is really the person you are chasing, as long as he can't get out of the inner city, sooner or later he will show flaws." Meng Feng sneered.

Lao Shangshu said: "Even if he is one of them, where are the other two, why haven't they been found yet?" ”

Meng Feng looked at General Zhao, and General Zhao explained: "Originally, that person was injured, if I kept chasing him, I would definitely be able to catch it, but that person said while running that he still had accomplices, and those stones at the door were evidence, saying that the old man was now alone and would die under the knife of his accomplices, I was concerned about the safety of Lord Shangshu, so I had to return, but now I have transferred all the patrol soldiers in the north of the city back to search, and that person can't hide for long." ”

Meng Feng put his mind at ease, although the terrain in the Fuya area on the south side of this side is complicated, fortunately, there are many patrol soldiers, and the person is still injured, so it must not be too difficult to catch that person.

Meng Feng continued the general's words: "As for the person at the rockery, I may know who it is. Meng Feng looked at General Zhao's puzzled expression and said, "Do you remember that missing old man?" ”

General Zhao suddenly said: "I see! This old Taoist priest really has another purpose?! ”

Meng Feng squinted his eyes and said: "Not long after the teacher came, this Dao Chang caused a riot in Youzhou City, as soon as he entered the inner city, then something happened here, everything is too coincidental, I need to know the identity and origin of this person, Zhi'an, you will personally go to the city gate to check the entry and exit records in a while." ”

General Zhao Shen nodded, and after seeing that the matter was over, General Zhao Shen finally said the question that he had been holding in his heart for a long time: "Then Yu Yao shouted His Royal Highness the Prince before seeing the boss, why didn't his subordinates know that the prince had also come to Youzhou City, and where is His Royal Highness the Prince now?" ”

Several people in the room looked at Meng Feng.

Meng Feng frowned, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "This is the second thing we have to consider, this matter is more complicated, now it seems that half of the fault in the current situation is on me, I didn't inform Zhi'an in advance, it was my negligence that caused you and Yu Yao to think of different 'that adult' as the same person." ”

Meng Feng sighed, and continued: "Before the teacher came, the emperor sent a secret letter to me, informing me that the prince would go to Youzhou to participate in the cultural meeting, and at the literary meeting, as his only royal heir, he would take away all the talented and learned people, and the family was caught off guard. The emperor was afraid that the news would leak out, and the family had already prepared, and this plan would not work, so the prince chose to travel secretly, and only me, the emperor and Yu Yao knew about it, I thought he was with Yu Yao, but now it seems that Yu Yao does not know the whereabouts of the prince......"

Meng Feng felt a trace of worry as he spoke, could it be that the prince's people were ......

"Why should Mengzhou Mansion worry." Qiao Zheng interrupted Meng Feng's thoughts, and said disapprerovitically: "That Dugu Yun is lucky if he doesn't appear, if he appears, I will be cut with a knife, and no one knows his identity." ”

Meng Feng looked at him coldly and said: "Now I am a local official of the new dynasty, Duguli was also kind to me back then, I took the teacher to Youzhou, because the teacher is old and wants to return to his homeland, I regard him as a father, I can't bear to refuse, as for you, it is Senior Brother Xue who begged bitterly in the letter, and promised me that there would be no trouble before I agreed, it is my limit to protect you and others, if you dare to touch the prince's hair, even if you are the teacher's righteous son, I will not let you go!" ”

Seeing Qiao Zheng's face look ugly, Meng Feng also knew that what he said was too heavy, and said softly: "There must be soldiers around the prince, if you raise sword soldiers in order to kill the prince, there will be casualties on both sides, and the father-in-law will go out of the mountain with a death will, and it is not easy to settle down now, at this time, if you can lurk, you will lurk, otherwise you will fight with the officers and soldiers, whether you kill the prince or not, the teacher will be exposed." ”

Qiao Zheng and Qiao Qi Lao Shangshu glanced at each other unnaturally, and didn't know what they thought, Qiao Lao Shangshu comforted: "Feng'er doesn't have to worry about himself, this Duguyun ...... Most of them won't come. ”

Meng Fengqi said: "The father-in-law seems to be very sure that the prince will not appear in Youzhou? ”

"Ugh."

Qiao Laoshangshu pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Duguyun has the East Palace guard, even if he is dressed as a chamber of commerce, the team will be huge, and at this time, he should also go to Youzhou to contact you, but now it has not appeared, presumably the plan is leaked, and the prince will return home."

Meng Feng thought about it and seemed to have this possibility, and breathed a sigh of relief, Meng Feng was already more difficult in his heart how to place the prince, now most of the patrol sergeants in the inner city are soldiers of the former dynasty of Jiuqu, he doesn't dare to risk letting them guard the prince's side, if any of them have a whim and want to be unfavorable to the prince, if they move the knife with the prince's guards, the matter will become very serious.

Meng Feng looked at Qiao Zheng and doubted that he would be the first to take the lead when the time came.

Putting aside the matter of the crown prince, Meng Feng said, "Then the next point is the last point." Meng Feng looked at General Zhao, who was still kneeling, and said worriedly: "How will the Wenhui be held?" ”

Lao Shangshu was surprised and asked, "What's the difficulty?" ”

Meng Feng replied: "It's difficult to hold it when and how. The teacher didn't know, according to our normal plan, when the literary meeting opened, the west side of my inner city would be open to the outside world, and the literati and strangers who came from all over the world would enter the inner city to visit the major families, and the scene would be very chaotic. ”

Lao Shangshu hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you delay for a few more days?" ”

Meng Feng said with a wry smile: "In order to wait for the arrival of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites to preside over the opening of the meeting, this meeting has been delayed for several days, whether it is the major families in the inner city, or the people in Youzhou City who have been waiting for many days, they are already dissatisfied, and they have to delay, I am afraid it will ......."

"So we don't have much time?" Lao Shangshu pondered for a while when he heard this: "In this case, transfer Xue Mu over." ”

Meng Feng hesitated: "The teacher is saying that let Senior Brother Xue bring someone out to assist in the search?" But the camp on the east side can't be left unguarded......"

Lao Shangshu said: "I went over with Zheng'er, after Dr. Xun deserved to be a miracle doctor, the old man's condition has stabilized, and his body has begun to recover, Feng'er doesn't have to worry, now that the Wenhui will open, you concentrate on accompanying the major families, and with your Senior Brother Xue here, I can also help you make suggestions." ”

At this moment, a voice came from the courtyard gate, and Qiao Zheng heard it: "I'll take a look." ”

After a while, Qiao Zheng hurried back and said happily: "The person chased by General Zhao has been caught." ”
