Ling Yun looked at the dead eyes of Shopkeeper Hong, and couldn't help but sneer, and only after holding the sword and making a few more stabs on him to make sure that there was no possibility of survival, he turned around and left the place.... At the same time, Meng Yu, who was hiding in the dark and saw this process, frowned lightly, and then turned around and walked in the direction of Xiao Mansion.....

"How, it's done?"

"Back to the master, the shopkeeper Hong is dead, and his subordinates have sent people to ambush in the place where Pei Ze must pass, and this time he will definitely be able to 'get the stolen goods'."

"Okay" Hearing this, Ji Shengyuan nodded with satisfaction, and ordered in a deep voice: "Go to the Xiao Mansion to inform that person, everything can go according to plan." ”

"Yes".....

Shuxiang Zhai, Xiao Beichen looked at Song Wan who had fallen asleep in his arms contentedly, and couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and after raising his hand to caress her cheek and covering the quilt for her, he got out of bed and put on his clothes and left the room...."Lord"

"Got news?"

"Yes" In the study, after Meng Yu recounted what he had just seen on the official road, he said softly: "Lord, this is obviously killing people and killing people, I'm afraid they have already started to do it, what should we do next?" ”

"Hmm...."Xiao Beichen tapped on the table when he heard this, although the development of things was not bad from what he had experienced, but he was not completely sure of catching the person behind the scenes. Send someone to follow Pei Ze closely, and report to me at any time if there is any movement. ”

"Yes"

"Also, call Zhan Lao to me, I have something to ask him."

"Yes".....

"See the Four Princes"

"Zhan Lao doesn't need to be polite" After helping him up, Xiao Beichen asked in a low voice: "Zhan Lao was injured earlier, but now he is fine?" ”

"Thank you for your concern" Zhan Lao moved his not very neat feet, and said with a wry smile: "It's just some old diseases, when you are old, how can you still use it like you are young?" ”

"Zhan Lao doesn't need to be presumptuous, in my opinion, Zhan Lao is still as old and strong as he was back then."

"Hehe, the lord said that he laughed" After a pause, Zhan Lao looked at the letter unfolding on the desk, and said suspiciously: "The lord called me to come late at night, but I have something to order?" ”

"Hmm" Xiao Beichen took a sip of tea and said slowly: "There was a tragedy on the official road today, the shopkeeper of the pastry shop in the capital found that he was brutally killed, this news is believed to be spread to Dali Temple soon, if we investigate again, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to intervene." ”

"What does the Lord mean?"

"I suspect that this matter is related to the Eighth Prince, and I hope that Elder Zhan can help me and personally go out to investigate."

"The Eighth Prince?" Zhan Lao frowned lightly, looked at Xiao Beichen's determined expression, and couldn't help but wonder: "What evidence does the Lord have pointing to the Eighth Prince?" ”

"No, but as far as I know, Shopkeeper Hong and Pei Ze know each other, if you can take this opportunity to eradicate the different parties..."After a pause, Xiao Beichen's eyes flashed, and he chuckled: "Except for the Eighth Prince, I can't think of anyone else who needs to go to such great lengths." ”

"The Lord is right" Zhan Lao arched his hand in admiration, and responded: "Rest assured, the Lord will leave this matter to me, and there will be news to return home in three days at the latest." ”

"In this way, everything will be left to Zhan Lao"

.........

In the suburbs, Pei Ze drew a horizontal line with the list given by Song Wan, and when he saw that there were only four names left in the end, his heart sank, perhaps... An arrow broke through the air and interrupted Pei Ze's thoughts, and after he turned around and avoided it, countless arrows rained down from afar....

Seeing this, after Pei Ze put the list in his arms properly, he drew out his sword blade and greeted him.... This group of people is not a good type, and it is obviously not the same group as the people in black last time, and now he is invincible with two fists and four hands, if he entangles with them again, I am afraid there is no chance of winning! Thinking of this, Pei Ze lifted his sword and got rid of the three black-clothed people in front of him in one breath, threw the cigarette from his arms and threw it at them, and when the explosion sounded and the smoke filled, he rolled down the steep hill next to him with a dodge and disappeared....

"Go back and tell your master that everything is going well."

"Yes!"

"Go down and hunt" Ling Yun pulled off his mask and commanded fiercely to the black-clothed man on the other side: "You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in life, otherwise you all have to come and see them!" ”

"Yes".....

In the capital, a large number of guards suddenly ran over the official road, and the target was Pei's Mansion ten miles away...."Found it, Pei Ze has conclusive evidence of the following crimes, and quickly go back to tell the Eighth Prince." ”

"Yes!"

In the Xiao Mansion, Meng Yujian walked in the courtyard, and as soon as he stepped into Yi Zhai's residence, he said anxiously: "Lord"

"But something happened?"

"The subordinates lost Master Pei in the suburbs for a while, and when they arrived on a hillside, they found traces of a fight nearby" After that, Meng Yu took out an object and handed it to Xiao Beichen, and said in a low voice: "The guards in the capital have gone to Lord Pei's mansion to search, and I believe that news will soon reach the palace, Lord, look"

Hearing this, Xiao Beichen's eyes flashed, and he picked up the token on the side and immediately said: "Prepare the horse, I want to enter the palace to face the saint".....

On the other side, Shuxiangzhai was basically at the same time, and Song Wan also got the news from Yunhua's mouth, "What did you say?" Pei Ze is gone? ”

"Yes, Imperial Princess" Yun Hua looked left and right, and then stepped forward and lowered his voice and said: "Master Pei also sent a message to Miss Yulan today, but he didn't know that there was no trace of him!" Moreover, the slave maid also found out that now there are guards in the capital searching in Lord Pei's mansion, and the imperial concubine, Lord Pei is estimated to have really had an accident! ”

Damn it! Song Wan slapped the table and secretly regretted it: knowing that the road ahead was dangerous, she shouldn't let him track it down alone, if Pei Zezhen lost her life because of her, then it would not be a pity for her to die ten thousand times! "Yunhua"

"The Slave is Here"

"You go to the other courtyard to find Yulan now, I want to know the place where Pei Ze disappeared lastly" After a pause, Song Wan instructed as if she had thought of something: "Be careful, especially don't let the master and servant of Liu Shuzhai find out your traces, understand?" ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey".....

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor looked at Xiao Beichen and Ji Shengyuan, who came in a hurry at the same time, his eyes narrowed, and he said noncommittally: "Chen'er and Yuan'er have a tacit understanding, what's the matter, why can't you wait until tomorrow to talk about it?" ”

"Father Qi" Ji Shengyuan took the lead in stepping forward, handed the token in his hand to the father-in-law Gao on the side, and said in a low voice: "This is the letter that Erchen searched in Master Pei's mansion, which is about the details of the boiling Lantern Festival case that has been making trouble in recent days" After a pause, he pretended to be sad and said: "Erchen didn't expect that this case has been involved since the death of Shopkeeper Liao, and now because of the appearance of Shopkeeper Hong of the pastry shop, Master Pei has been involved, which.... Please ask my father to take a look. ”

"Oh? What does Yuan'er mean that Pei Ze is the mastermind behind the Lantern Festival? ”

"Erchen didn't dare to speculate, but he just felt that since Master Pei was suspicious, then arresting him for interrogation as soon as possible is also a way to return his innocence as soon as possible, isn't it?"

"Chen'er, what do you say?" The emperor turned his head to look at Xiao Beichen, who had been silent, and asked out loud.

"Father Qi" Xiao Beichen pondered for a long time, and finally said respectfully: "If it is really as the eighth brother said, Master Pei is a suspect, then when Dali Temple handled the case, he would not have been hunted down by Liao's shopkeepers, and now that his whereabouts are unknown, he can easily convict the court officials with these letters found in Pei's mansion, is this... Too sloppy? ”

"Then according to what the fourth brother said" Ji Shengyuan glanced at Xiao Beichen, who was obviously coming at him, and sneered: "Is it possible that someone framed Master Pei?" ”

"Exactly!"

"You" Ji Shengyuan angrily pointed at Xiao Beichen, who had a calm face, and said hatefully: "As far as I know, Master Pei and the fourth brother usually have close contacts, but now that the fourth brother is saying this, do you think I am going around the bend to harm the fourth brother?" ”

"Eighth Brother is serious" Xiao Beichen looked back at him, his eyes flashed, and he chuckled: "I just think that a few letters that can't find out the truth are of little significance as evidence, and besides, the number of times I have met with Master Pei in private is only a handful, how can I think that Eighth Brother is harming me?" ”

"Hehe, Fourth Brother" Ji Shengyuan took out another thing from it, and after unfolding it in the main hall to ensure that everyone could see it, he said in a low voice: "Originally, I didn't believe it, but seeing that the fourth brother was so anxious to clear up the relationship with Master Pei just now, this has to make me suspicious" After a pause, Ji Shengyuan took out the letter and handed it to Xiao Beichen, and asked: "Is this last seal the fourth brother's?" The seal is a unique symbol of the prince, and the fourth brother can't say that the evidence is sloppy this time, right? ”

Hearing this, Xiao Beichen looked at the mark of the seal, frowned, and said coldly: "So, does the eighth brother think that I am also one of the masterminds?" ”

"Fei Ye" After appreciating his obviously slightly shocked expression, Ji Shengyuan couldn't help but smile and said softly: "This letter can only prove that the fourth brother and Master Pei know each other, and it does not mean that the fourth brother is related to the Lantern Festival case, after all, the fourth brother was also one of the victims at that time, isn't it?" I just think that since the fourth brother can't remain neutral in this matter, then he should stay out of the matter appropriately for meddling in this case, right? ”

"Eighth Brother"

"Okay" The emperor waved his hand, looking at the two people who were arguing about this matter, although his heart was like a mirror, but he was also willing to accompany them to play this scene, after all, as a father, he also wanted to see his emperor's intelligence and strategy, who could be better...."Since Chen'er has been involved in this matter, it will inevitably cause more trouble, so he will hand it over to Yuan'er to investigate." ”

"Father"

"I haven't finished speaking" The emperor raised his hand to interrupt Xiao Beichen's words that he still wanted to dissuade, turned his head to look at Ji Shengyuan on the side, and ordered: "It's just Yuan'er, you still have autumn hunting things that need to be completed, if anything goes wrong within the time limit, I will only ask, understand?" ”

"Yes"

"Yuan'er, you have to prioritize things, if you haven't found any key clues in five days, this case will end here, I don't want anyone to talk about this case over and over again, you know?"

"Yes, the retainer obeys!"

"Okay, I'm tired, you go down first, and we will discuss it tomorrow."

"Yes, the retainers are retiring"

"Yes, the retainers are retiring"
