It's just that the long wound on his back that was wounded by a crossbow arrow is more troublesome, and as long as he exerts force, there is a tearing pain.

The rest of the forearms, etc., are fine, and they are all recovering.

The prince is young, the body is healthy, and the tendons and acupuncture points are activated by Brilliance acupuncture, nourishing drugs are recuperated, and the hematopoietic function is functioning normally.

So, he recovered quickly.

The top priority at the moment is to find out the truth about Xiao Jingshan's assassination case as soon as possible and plug the defense loopholes in the palace in a timely manner.

Before noon, the Xiaojingshan search team found several black and brown leather humanoid suits in a cave, wet.

Xie Bi and the others looked at this thing in surprise, and they didn't know what it was.

He immediately asked Wen Ruyu, the deputy marshal of the military hall, and sent a senior general in charge of the navy to come over and identify him.

"No need to check, this is called 'water by', a special sealing leather made of big shark skin, for diving, in the waters of the Yangtze River, the coastal area of the navy is common, but the price is very expensive."

When the senior staff officer took a closer look, he pointed it out directly.

"It shows that these assassins wore these water backings and dived into Xiaojingshan through the bottom of Jinghu Lake, and they were prepared to sneak the assassins into an ambush in batches!"

After listening to Xie Bi's report, Yuan Zhi could easily come to such a conclusion.

"We have also thought of this, Xiaojingshan is surrounded by Jinghu Lake, and the assassin must have climbed Xiaojingshan through Jinghu to hibernate in Xiaojingshan."

"Kejing Lake is a dead lake that was artificially dug forty years ago, and it is completely closed from the Qujiang Pond and Hanseong River in the outside world, how did the assassins sneak in?" Xie Bi frowned.

"Yes!"

“？？？”

Xie Bi, Fan Hu and others talked a lot.

Yuan Zhi held his head and thought for a while, and he suddenly remembered that there was a record in the history books that the dark rivers under Chang'an City crisscrossed it, and it had the reputation of 'City of Eight Waters'.

"Have you checked and considered the details of the original excavation of Jinghu?"

Seeing Xie Bi and them shaking their heads, Yuan Zhi said in a deep voice:

"In my lonely opinion, Jinghu Lake is not exactly an artificial lake, it is just a natural lake on the basis of excavation, through excavation to expand the scale of Jinghu Lake, just imagine, where did the water of Jinghu Lake flow in the first place? If it is a fully enclosed dead lake, is it strange that it does not smell and does not change color after more than 40 years? ”

After the prince dialed it like this, Xie Bi and the others were dazzled and empowered.

"That's right, the water of Jinghu Lake is crystal clear, and there are a lot of fish, which are living water."

"There is a water source at the bottom of the lake, which should be connected to the underground river."

“？？？”

Seeing that everyone's minds were open, Yuan Zhi nodded heartily and said:

"Now we can reason that after the excavation of Jinghu Lake and the diversion of water, the Yamen filled in the passage between Jinghu Lake and the outer lake, and then built a palace wall, so that the existence of the underground dark river does not affect the layout of the buildings on the ground."

"Over time, in people's impression for decades, Jinghu Lake is a dead lake, but there is actually a dark river at the bottom of the lake, and now there is a question, who discovered this secret waterway between the underground dark river and Jinghu Lake? And just start using it now? ”

When everyone heard this, they began to ponder again.

"Your Highness, nine times out of ten this assassination was committed by the Bloody Hand Gate, from the assassin's attire, the assassination method, and the fact that there was no living mouth or traces afterwards, it is inferred that it is the Bloody Hand Gate instructed by Cao Fu." Fan Hu said:

"The last general suggested that all the personnel of the Cao Mansion should be detained in the Imperial Prison for the crime of rebellion and rebellion, and interrogated overnight, there will always be people who can't stay up and reveal the truth."

Xie Bi and Gao Jin looked at the prince in unison.

Yuan Zhi waved his hand without hesitation to veto, "It is unlikely that this assassination was done by Cao Fu, although on the surface it is very similar to the usual methods of the Bloody Hand Gate, this is the mastermind behind the scenes who is deliberately guiding, so that the prince and the Cao Mansion will have another big conflict, and the Cao Mansion will be detained for the crime of rebellion, which will cause the Cao Mansion to counterattack outside the capital and create chaos again." ”

"Think about it carefully, if the Cao Mansion controlled the secret dark river waterway of Jinghu, he would have been able to do it to the prince a long time ago, before and after the last military admonition, especially after the failure of the military admonition, the Cao Mansion was in a very dangerous situation, they didn't know what the royal family would do, but none of them jumped off the wall in a hurry, did they think of using this trump card?"

Everyone looked at each other with shocked expressions, and suddenly saw that the prince seemed to be in his chest, Xie Bi bowed and said:

"Your Highness, I'm stupid, and I ask the prince to give a specific order."

Seeing this, Yuan Zhi didn't shirk too much, and his right hand habitually stroked his cheeks and said:

"In view of this important clue of water dependence, Qianniuwei needs to send someone to dive into the bottom of the lake to search carefully, and must find this dark river, this secret waterway between the outer lake and Jinghu Lake, and at the same time, inquire about the relevant files of Jinghu Lake for more than 40 years, and look for insiders to ask."

"Chief Gao, please immediately notify the secret guards, let them secretly visit the Qujiang Pond and the banks of the Hancheng River near the Imperial City, to see what are similar to fishing workshops, or river management and other places, to carry out key monitoring, if necessary, surprise inspection, the enemy must have a camouflaged waterway infiltration point on the periphery."

"Yes." Xie Bi and Gao Jin gave up their orders.

After Yuan Zhi finished speaking, his body felt a little tired, from the early dynasty to the present, two hours have passed, and his body is still recovering.

So he reclined on the couch, waved his hand to the crowd, and said:

"You all go out, Gu wants to rest, tell Ding Jiu at the door, they are looking for Gu, let them come back in an hour."

After hearing this, several people lowered their heads and left silently.

……

When night falls, the streets and alleys of the capital on the tenth day of the first month are still very lively, and the laughter and shouting are endless, one after another.

During the New Year, relatives visit each other, and dinner is the main meal, the people are very particular, and all the good wine and good food are taken out to entertain guests, which is the norm.

Only Chunhuafang is still quiet, and even the people who are close to this square have to be light and silent, for fear of disturbing the tranquility here.

Chunhuafang is an outlier in the bustling capital, it is one of the concentrated areas of the princes and nobles' mansions, like a sleeping beast, making people fearful.

It seems to wake it up by accident, and it can jump up and swallow you in one gulp.

Ningwang Mansion, which has been vacant for many years, is not a new look now, but it has finally gained popularity.

The mansion is cleaned and sorted out in advance, and once the owner moves in, the house can be regarded as truly alive.

King Ning's Mansion was deserted tonight, almost no different from a cemetery.

The people will no longer gather in groups of three or five, talking about the new things about this and that house on Chunhua Street, all of them holding their breath and lightly, for fear of upsetting the master.

The coughing in the side hall next door had stopped, and Wei Mengyao knew that her youngest son, Qisheng, had already slept.

Qisheng's lung meridian is not good, and he always coughs for a while before falling asleep, and stops when he falls asleep.

After listening to it for so many years, Wei Mengyao has become accustomed to it.

The fireplace in the bedroom is very lively, and it is warm like spring.

She had just bathed, wearing only a thin silk nightgown, and her hair was dried by the maids.
