Chapter 144: I want to catch up with you

Although Qiao Wanshu was left in Qiao's mansion, it could be seen that the Qiao family had passed another catastrophe, and her mind became active again.

She remembered the days when she was by the side of the Nine Emperor Princes, and somehow she still felt a little nostalgic.

Every time the Nine Emperor Princes went out to investigate the case, they would take her with them according to their promises.

This allowed her to be free from the limitations of her age and small body, and to access many things that she would not have been able to touch at this time.

After a full meal and playing with the jewels in her small vault, Qiao Wanshu couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

[Food is precious, gold and silver prices are higher, if it is free, both can be thrown! ] 】

I don't know how the Nine Emperors are investigating the case now.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching, the truth of the prince's assassination will not be delayed until the end of the year, so that the truth can be revealed, right?

She was thinking about it when she suddenly saw Mulberry Branch turn out from behind the screen and come over to change her clothes.

"Miss, Madame said that the Nine Emperors are here and wants to ask you to help him continue to investigate the case. Now people are waiting in the flower hall in front of them. ”

"Really?"

Qiao Wanshu immediately came to her senses, got up with a bone, and stared at the mulberry branch with burning eyes.

"Naturally, it's true, Madame asked me to change your clothes and accompany you."

Soon, Qiao Wanshu finished changing clothes and was carried to the front hall by Sang Zhi.

Although Chen had a smile on his face, he looked a little reluctant.

The Nine Emperors sat on the top, looking at ease and contentment, drinking tea slowly.

"Mother, I'm going!"

Qiao Wanshu saw her mother's expression, for fear that she would change her mind, and almost just after taking a photo, she shouted out directly.

Chen looked at his daughter in astonishment, and then his expression became helpless.

She really repented.

Qiao Wanshu will meet the prophet again, and now she is just a milk doll, the Chen family is really reluctant to let her go out in the wind and rain, and follow the Nine Emperor Princes to show up together every day.

But she didn't expect that Qiao Wanshu would show her attitude first as soon as she looked at her, which made her reason for refusal impossible to say anymore.

There was a faint smile on the face of the Nine Emperor Princes, but it flashed away, and it was still indifferent and calm.

"Since Shu'er has said so, then it will be troublesome for the Nine Emperor Princes to take care of it."

No matter how reluctant Chen was, he could only send the two out in person.

Fortunately, now that there are mulberry branches by his side, he can not only protect Qiao Wanshu, but also pass the news back at any time, so that the Qiao family will not be blinded by Qiao Wanshu's news.

As soon as he got into the carriage, the Nine Emperors took the initiative to explain their intentions.

"I'm coming back to you because Bai Xiaosheng has been arrested and imprisoned. It's just that he was not in the prison of Dali Temple, but in another ordinary prison, and was arrested under other names.

Now I'll take you with me and see what other clues can be found. ”

"Okay, then I'll take a look at it for you."

Qiao Wanshu agreed, but she was surprised in her heart, why Bai Xiaosheng was suddenly arrested.

[He will be Liu Zhan's absolute confidant in the future, and he will help do a lot of dirty work, so he shouldn't be folded here now.] 】

The Nine Emperor Princes listened to Qiao Wanshu's heart, and his expression became thoughtful.

Soon, several people arrived at the prison.

After buying off the cell boss, he was taken to the cell where Bai Xiaosheng was held.

"Bai Xiaosheng, this prince already knows that you are the real murderer, but there is another mastermind behind you. If you invite you truthfully, this prince can mediate for you and keep you from dying. ”

The words of the Nine Emperor Princes were like a breeze passing through his ears, and the man sitting in the prison facing the wall was silent, and he didn't seem to be moved at all.

"It seems that you don't believe the words of this prince, so I don't know, do you denied this jade pendant?"

As soon as the Nine Emperors' hand moved, a jade pendant fell down, making a crisp sound.

Bai Xiaosheng looked back and was stunned.

The jade pendant was proposed by the Queen Mother and given by the emperor.

Bai Xiaosheng was originally going to hand it over to his wife, but he didn't expect to see the tragic death of his wife after he went back.

Later, the jade pendant suddenly disappeared, and he didn't find any clues.

But I didn't expect that it would suddenly appear in the hands of the Nine Emperor Princes.

"You, give me back the jade pendant!"

He pounced, but no matter how he straightened his arm, he was still a palm away from the Nine Emperor Princes.

The Nine Emperor Princes were about to speak, but a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Nine Emperors, we meet again."

With that bold voice, King Jing's figure slowly emerged from the dark aisle.

"His Royal Highness? How did you end up here? ”

The Nine Emperor Princes frowned, thinking of the news that his subordinates had reported, and suddenly had a plan in his heart.

"I also want to ask His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, how can this little thief work the Nine Emperor Princes to check it out in person? What are the other reasons? ”

King Jing said it bluntly, and the Nine Emperors didn't intend to talk nonsense with him.

"I am ordered by the emperor to find out the truth about the assassination of the crown prince. There were clues before, pointing to this Bai Xiaosheng, so I came over to investigate. But His Majesty King Jing, why did you come here? ”

"Haha, this king once said that he wanted to find an opportunity to catch up with His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes. I just don't know if His Royal Highness is willing to give this king this opportunity. ”

King Jing's eyes inexplicably made the Nine Emperors a little disgusted, and he was about to refuse, but he felt that the clothes on his back were being dragged by someone.

Qiao Wanshu sneezed inexplicably, as if to remind something.

The Nine Emperors paused slightly, then nodded and said, "Okay, then the prince is better to be respectful." ”

Prison is not a good place to talk.

gave his chief guard a look and signaled that he was optimistic about Bai Xiaosheng.

The Nine Emperors followed King Jing and left the prison.

Since it was a private chat, Qiao Wanshu naturally wouldn't follow, she wanted to stay in this prison even more, maybe she could find some hidden clues from Bai Xiaosheng.

It was still broad daylight outside, and it was inconvenient for the Nine Emperors to go in and out with King Jing.

The two agreed on a place, and after a period of time, they each entered the same private room in the same teahouse.

"Your Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, hasn't Your Majesty already issued an order, and the real culprit of the case has been found and punished, so this matter is over? Could it be that you still want to make a difference, and then continue to track down some unwarranted clues? ”

King Jing saw that as soon as the Nine Emperor Princes entered the door, he said straight to the point.

But the Nine Emperor Princes just glanced at him faintly: "What does this prince want to do, do you still have to go through the permission of His Majesty King Jing?" ”

The smell of gunpowder in these words is a little too strong.

King Jing didn't care, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, your mother and I are also old acquaintances, and even ...... This king has also received her favor. So you really don't have to think of this king as your enemy.

If you want to be unfavorable to you, as long as this king stabs you out of the matter of your mother's old department, naturally there is no good fruit for you to eat, so why bother with all these troubles. ”

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Nine Emperor Princes: "Are you threatening this prince?" ”

Chapter 145: The Mysterious Old Man

"Your Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, don't be so nervous."

King Jing raised his hand and pressed it weakly to appease.

"This king has just said that there is no ill will towards you. This king has been favored by your mother, but he is not the ungrateful white-eyed wolf.

Moreover, this king came this time, and there are some things he wants to make clear to His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, so as not to make a mistake in your judgment, the flood washed the Dragon King Temple, and your own family does not recognize your own family. ”

The Nine Emperors raised their eyebrows slightly, as if they had doubts, but they did not interrupt King Jing.

"You may not know that when the previous dynasty fell, there was still one of the smallest princesses left behind. At that time, she was just an infant baby, but she was picked up and survived.

That's your mother's sister-in-law, and in terms of seniority, it's your sister-in-law. And this assassination of the prince is also the handiwork of your aunt.

She is still in the shadows, and her identity has never been revealed. But if His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes continue to pursue it, it will be difficult to say. Could it be that you still want to pull her out and send her to the guillotine with your own hands? ”

The Nine Emperor Princes were completely stunned this time.

Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he never knew that he had a sister-in-law.

But looking at King Jing's appearance, it seems that these words are not false.

"King Jing, there are some things you can't talk nonsense. You must know that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and your words are likely to send you to the guillotine! ”

The Nine Emperors said warnedly.

King Jing waved his hand disappreciatively: "His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, could it be that this king seems to be a fool, and whoever speaks will easily be trusted?" can stand tall after two dynasties, this king is not the group of wine bags and rice bags.

Naturally, after verification and confirmation of identity, this king will believe it. If His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes does not believe it, this king will naturally present the evidence, but it is just ...... Bai Xiaosheng's line, please don't continue to check it for the time being. ”

The Nine Emperors didn't speak, and after a long silence, they nodded and said, "Okay, this prince will personally verify this matter and make a decision." However, please send the evidence mentioned by His Royal Highness King Jing as soon as possible.

This prince has limited patience and does not want to be someone else's puppet. ”

The two had a private conversation here, and Qiao Wanshu was not idle when she stayed in the prison.

Mulberry also stuffed the cell boss with silver and bought permission to move around freely.

Qiao Wanshu did not talk to Bai Xiaosheng directly, but asked Sang Zhi to walk around the prison with him first.

She hadn't seen the ancient prison before, and she couldn't care about it anymore, and her heart was full of curiosity.

This is already the deepest part of this prison, in addition to imprisoning Bai Xiaosheng, there is a cell next door, and there are also people locked up inside.

It was a separate cell, and it looked much cleaner than the other rooms.

And on the broken straw mat inside, there was an old man sitting upright.

Although he was in prison, his clothes were neat and his hair was not disheveled. In addition to his very haggard complexion, he looks very decent.

Qiao Wanshu asked Sang Zhi to inquire with the cell boss, but she didn't expect her previous guess to be correct, the old man really had some origins.

"Miss, the cell boss said that the old man has been locked up here since the founding of this dynasty. Although he was crazy at times, he always kept his appearance neat and tidy.

Moreover, this old man seems to be of great origin, and it is said that he is a big man, in short, the prison guards do not dare to humiliate him easily, and even regularly clean his cell and provide him with clean food and clothing. ”

Qiao Wanshu also felt that the person looked very good, so she wanted to talk.

"Carry me over and talk."

Listening to her instructions, Sang Zhi hesitated.

Anyway, it was also a prisoner, and she couldn't let Qiao Wanshu be in danger.

Helpless, Qiao Wanshu always insisted, and she had to hug people over, but she was more vigilant.

"Grandpa, who are you?"

Qiao Wanshu asked innocently and romantically.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, and the moment he saw Qiao Wanshu, he was suddenly stunned.

"This ...... Isn't the old decay going to die soon, how can there be this blessing to see such a noble person? ”

His words made Qiao Wanshu and Sang Zhi stunned at the same time.

In this era, the words noble cannot be easily spoken.

Sometimes it may not be good fortune and monstrous wealth and power, but the disaster of death.

But the old man looked at Qiao Wanshu with burning eyes, and it seemed that the whole person had changed from a piece of rotten wood that was about to become a living person again.

"Sure enough, the old man is really not mistaken!"

He staggered to his feet and walked towards the railing.

"A double life, knowing the past and the future, you can see the future, you can avoid good luck and evil, it is really a rare opportunity, a rare opportunity!

Little girl, you must understand what the old man is saying, don't you? ”

The old man clung to the railing, and a pair of cloudy eyes seemed to flash with a long-lost light.

"Grandpa, what are you talking about, you don't understand."

Where does Qiao Wanshu dare to admit it!

She was originally identified by Fang Yan'er once, saying that it was a demon star confusing the world, strange power and chaos, and something like that, which almost implicated the Qiao family.

Now that this old man has said those godly words again, and even pointed out that she is another soul hidden in this body, then she is even more afraid to admit it!

However, the old man had no intention of stopping, even if Qiao Wanshu didn't admit it, he still said to himself.

"Little girl, come closer, let the old man take a good look! Although you are the soul of another world, you are the noble Ziweixing Linfan, God bless my dynasty, you can set things right and get back on the right path!

I can't think of it, I really can't think of it! The old decay has been breathing for so many years, and he can really wait for this day to see such an unspeakable life with his own eyes!

Little girl, you must not live up to your mission, you must find the prince left behind by our dynasty, help him to support the great cause, and reproduce the glory of our dynasty! ”

The old man's words came down, and Qiao Wanshu was almost scattered!

She just saw that the old man was very extraordinary, and wanted to test it a little.

I didn't expect him to say such a thing, but fortunately, the person around him is Sang Zhi, and there is a distance from the outside.

Otherwise, if the old man says something that spreads, let alone Qiao Wanshu, the entire Qiao family will not be enough to live!

"Grandpa, don't shout, something will happen, something big will happen!"

Qiao Wanshu tried to appease the old man, but unfortunately he seemed to be deeply stimulated, and his emotions were so crazy that he couldn't control himself at all.

He even stretched out his hand and scratched indiscriminately, wanting to catch Qiao Wanshu and take a good look!

At this moment, a jailer hurried in, and the old man magically shut his mouth automatically.

The jailer looked at Qiao Wanshu and said respectfully, "Little Miss, the Nine Emperor Princes are back, and the villain will take you out." ”
