A sultry wind was blowing from Xingluo Lake, and on the other side of the lake, Minister Zuo was holding the deputy order of the Moge, and he had been in a stalemate with Gao Chengchuan, the governor of the forbidden army, for several hours.

Gao Shuman and Mu Xizhao were guarding the lake on both sides, neither disobeying the governor's orders, nor being rude to Minister Zuo, these two were important high-ranking officials in the imperial capital, and if they were not careful, the consequences would never be something they could bear!

However, it is obviously not the way to continue the stalemate, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been alarmed and walked out of the sealing platform.

Gao Chengchuan bowed slightly to Prince Mingxi below on the painting boat, although he looked very polite, his tone was undisguised arrogance: "Your Royal Highness has been sick recently, and the wind is strong by the lake, please go back to the house to rest first, don't worry about these tedious little things outside, just let the old minister handle them on your behalf." ”

"But Minister Zuo asks to see me?" Prince Mingxi was not angry and mighty, and did not pay attention to Gao Chengchuan's words, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side of the lake, and said coldly, "According to the regulations of the imperial capital, Minister Zuo holds the deputy order of the Mo Pavilion, and can ask to see me at any time without any hindrance, Minister Zuo is loyal, and has done his best for the country and the people for so many years, if he personally comes to see me with the deputy order, it must be an extremely important matter, Governor Gao obstructs it without authorization, is it voluntary to bear the consequences of the mistake?"

Sure enough, as soon as this sentence came out, even Gao Chengchuan, who was holding a heavy army, couldn't help but weigh a few points, this is indeed a provision written in the decree, and it is the privilege of Moge.

Originally, His Majesty moved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Fengxintai under the pretext of repairing the palace, although anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was house arrest and confinement, but His Majesty did not say it explicitly, and he couldn't do too much, so Minister Zuo asked to see the prince with the deputy order of the ink pavilion, and he was indeed not qualified to stop it.

"Please come on board and see you. Prince Mingxi didn't give him time to think about it at all, the corners of his mouth snorted coldly, and he ordered seemingly randomly, "Put down the boat ladder, and then go to the opposite side and ask Minister Zuo to get on the boat and talk in detail." ”

"Your Excellency the Governor......" The subordinates beside Gao Chengchuan didn't dare to act rashly, and hurriedly whispered, and hesitated, "Your Highness wants to put the boat ladder, look ......"

"Your Highness has given orders, can you still let it go?" Gao Chengchuan snorted coldly, his subordinates hurriedly retreated to the side of the boat, and beckoned everyone to set up the folded long ladder, Gao Chengchuan took the lead and walked down to Mingxi's side, bending down and making a "please" gesture.

"There's Governor Law. Prince Mingxi smiled, he couldn't see the slightest nervousness, Gao Chengchuan followed the prince's pace every step of the way, and when he returned to the boat again, the chairs had been quickly set up on the board, and the guards were divided into three columns to guard on one side, on the other side, a slightly smaller painting boat rowed over from the other side of Xingluo Lake, the guards on both sides gestured to each other, this side put the boat ladder down, and the other end was connected to the firm, Gongsun Zhe, the minister of the left, took a deep breath and strode on.

Prince Mingxi glanced at it inadvertently, Gao Shumang and Mu Xizhao followed Minister Zuo left and right, while Gao Chengchuan had been standing straight behind him.

"Heh......" he chuckled silently, with such a stern posture, was he afraid that a Wenchen would rob him under heavy surrounding?

Minister Zuo obviously also knows that there must be something hidden in this picture at the moment, His Majesty suddenly ordered the repair of the prince's palace to prepare for the wedding, but he did not announce who the future princess was, and even moved the prince to the most inappropriate Fengxin platform, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a contradiction between the father and son, but no one dares to really ask and investigate these things, and now even he holds the deputy order of the ink pavilion to ask to see the prince has been forcibly blocked by the forbidden army for so long!

If the prince hadn't taken the initiative to speak, I'm afraid that Gao Chengchuan would really disobey the decree to stop him, right?

Governor Gao is His Majesty's confidant, and he is the first hero to assist him in seizing the world, even if he does something out of the ordinary, nine times out of ten he will not be able to do it, no wonder Governor Gao dares to ignore the decree so blindly.

Thinking of this, Minister Zuo handed the deputy order of the Moge Pavilion to Mingxi, then fell to his knees and kowtowed heavily: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister has something important to report." ”

"Minister Zuo, what are you doing? Shocked by his movements, Prince Mingxi subconsciously stood up and helped him, but Minister Zuo did not move, took out the report letter from his arms, and gritted his teeth and said: "The old minister has no way to discipline him, and he has raised such a rebellious son! Not only is he corrupt and perverts the law, he has given bribes and bribes, but also privately withheld the treasures of the royal family from all over the country! The old minister has no face to see His Majesty and His Royal Highness, and all the consequences of responsibility, please investigate and deal with it according to law, and the old minister will never intercede for this rebel!"

"This is ......" Prince Mingxi's eyes moved slightly, the two had never met since that day when he handed over the deployment power of the Wind Demon to Gongsun Yan, what Gongsun Yan wanted to do and what he had already done was actually not discussed with him in advance.

But he was suddenly placed under house arrest without warning, and Gongsun Yan must have sensed that the storm was coming, so he had to plan for the worst in advance, right?

"This is a joint report letter from one hundred and twenty commercial banks in the four major realms, three major cities. Minister Zuo didn't dare to raise his eyes, he buried his head deeply, hesitated for a long time, and then continued, "This letter was received by the old minister this morning, so the old minister went to Fengxintai to ask to see you as soon as possible, but he was stopped by Governor Gao until now." ”

"...... this morning" Prince Mingxi silently pondered Minister Zuo's words, in fact, he was a little suspicious, and the moment he opened the letterhead, a trace of green light inadvertently drilled into the jade wrench on his finger.

Mingxi read the entire letter quietly, and the green light with the special magic of Butterfly Valley read Gongsun Yan's arrangement carefully in the prince's mind, and the prince was silent for a while, and then handed the letterhead to Gao Chengchuan.

"What an amazing amount!" Gao Chengchuan squinted his eyes, his mouth also exclaimed, the old man's eyes were like a sharp sword straight towards Minister Zuo, and he asked in a cold voice, "This is really interesting, these financial lords should know that Minister Zuo is the father of the Lord of the Mirror Pavilion, right? How dare they hand over this kind of report letter to you for handling? They are not afraid of being detained by you halfway, not only will they not be able to get any benefits, but they will also offend the Lord of the Mirror Pavilion and cut off their future financial route?"

"This letter was supposed to be handed over directly to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but His Highness hadn't been to the Ink Pavilion for a few days, so it was handed over to the old minister. Minister Zuo naturally guessed that he would encounter this kind of inquiry, and did not hurry to take out the rhetoric that he had prepared a long time ago, "I think it is because the rebels have filled their pockets too much, so that these financial owners and chaebols can't bear the hardships, so this report letter is jointly written, right?"

"That's right, businessmen, mercenary is the last word. Gao Chengchuan couldn't refute, and the corners of his mouth hooked a strange smile, "Minister Zuo is really righteous and killed relatives, this kind of thing will cost your son's life if handed over!" Speaking of which...... Where is your son-in-law now?"4E

Minister Zuo calmly raised his head, looked directly at Gao Chengchuan's sharp eyes, and explained: "This letter may have been on His Highness's desk for a few days, and he seems to have sensed something in advance, after going home with me yesterday, he has disappeared this morning." ”

Gao Chengchuan bit his lip suddenly, Minister Zuo's words were obviously not credible, but he couldn't find anything wrong.

Prince Mingxi had already sorted out the clue in his heart, he looked at the captain of the forbidden army quietly, and said lightly: "Gao Shumang, have the troops stationed in the capital seen Gongzi?"

Gao Shumang glanced at the prince's eyes, and saw that his uncle was staring at him sternly, he felt a sharp backstab, and said a little nervously: "Back to Your Highness, when I changed the guard this morning, I heard the guards say that I had seen Gongzi, but at that time it was already past the curfew time in the inner city, and Gongzi often missed the time and was trapped in the city, and the guards didn't ask carefully, Minister Zuo, did you just say that Gongzi went home with you last night......? Gongsun Gongzi should have rested in the inner city yesterday and didn't go home, right?"

"Did you turn back after you went back?Last night, the Star Sacrifice Palace was invaded, wouldn't it have anything to do with Childe?" Gao Chengchuan was a little surprised, Gao Shuman was frightened into a cold sweat when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Lord Governor, the guards at the city gate did not report the matter of returning to the inner city after someone was curfew......

"Who said he had to go through the gates, idiot. Gao Chengchuan scolded, raised his hand to the distance, and snorted coldly, "The inner city wall is only twenty meters high, and it is not difficult to climb over the wall directly if you are better, right?"

"This ...... It shouldn't be, the old minister has never seen him use martial arts. Minister Zuo calmly answered, at this time the prince coughed lightly, interrupted the speculation of the two, and said, "If the content of the letterhead is true, this amount is indeed enough for his head to hit the ground, but after all, he is the master of the mirror pavilion that I single-handed, and I am also responsible for doing such a big rebellion. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince!" Gao Chengchuan was taken aback, and immediately understood the meaning of Prince Mingxi's words, and hurriedly stopped, "Your Majesty has been locking himself in the temple recently, it seems that there is something to worry about, you still, don't bother......"

"Excuse me?" Prince Mingxi raised his eyebrows, and his golden eyes made Gao Chengchuan instantly chill in his heart, "If my father encounters something difficult, shouldn't as a courtier take the initiative to share his worries and solve problems?"

Gao Chengchuan's face changed, knowing that he was being put on the spot by the young prince, which was obviously to use the sudden change of the Mirror Pavilion as an excuse to leave the Fengxin Terrace!

He gritted his teeth, and was very irritable in his heart, if His Majesty secretly arrested Xiao Qianye just for the sake of stability in the four realms, then it would be too unwise to choose such a subtle method knowing that the prince had different intentions!

Sure enough, he was still confused by Wen Yi's woman, as long as he had a relationship with that woman, His Majesty would never be able to let go if he wanted to deal with the prince.

Gao Chengchuan's mind was spinning quickly and wanted to stop Prince Mingxi, but when he saw that the prince waved his hand, he said meaningfully: "I don't want to disturb my father if I change things else, but it is not a trivial matter for the three pavilions to change hands, if Governor Gao is not at ease, you can go to the temple with me to meet my father, how about it?"

"Three Pavilions...... Change hands?" Gao Chengchuan repeated thoughtfully, couldn't help but gasp, and looked at Prince Mingxi in surprise and nervousness, sure enough, that person was also looking at him with a full smile, but that kind of smile obviously had another deep meaning, which made Gao Chengchuan, the elder of the Three Dynasties, instantly break out in a cold sweat in his palms.

The three pavilions in the mouth of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince changed hands, does it refer to the Mirror Pavilion, one of the three pavilions, or the three pavilions of the army, mirror, and ink!?

"Governor Gao has led the way, and while it is still early, we can still have a good talk. Prince Mingxi's eyes suddenly showed a strange luster, looking at the cloudy sky above the imperial capital, he seemed to complain and nagged, "This rain has not been able to fall for several days, and even a wind is annoying and stuffy, it is really uncomfortable, does Governor Gao think it can rain tonight?"

"I'm afraid it's a rainstorm, Your Highness should prepare rain gear, don't get wet and hurt your body. Gao Chengchuan had something to say, and he didn't pierce it, the prince smiled and waved his hand, "Your Excellency the Governor, please." ”

The painting boat slowly paddled towards the lake, ripples under the dark water, Gao Chengchuan closed his eyes, and a voice came out from the bottom of his heart, and it reached the ears of Mu Xizhao beside him-"Bound King Water Prison, Ten Palaces of Yama, open quickly."

The other side of Xingluo Lake was surrounded by soldiers of the forbidden army, waiting for them as if they were facing a great enemy.

Gao Chengchuan was the first to walk down the boat ladder and ordered: "Xizhao, you stay on the Fengxin Terrace, and Shuman will escort His Royal Highness to the temple with me." ”

"Yes. The corner of Mu Xizhao's eyes swept over Gao Chengchuan, the old man's eyes had an uncertain look, his eyes slanted slightly, and a strange voice sounded from his head without authorization: "Staring at the Water Prison of the Binding King, don't leave half a step." ”

Mu Xizhao was shocked into a cold sweat, hurriedly bowed his head to receive the order, and looked at the dark lake in shock, this is obviously an artificial lake but bottomless, all the light reflected on the water surface will be instantly sucked up, the bottom of the water prison is the place where the corpses are disposed of, those bones will be powdered and discharged into the lake after a special method, so even if the lake water looks spotless, the water will always be surging with a chilling cold.

The Water Prison is not only a place where felons are imprisoned, but also a place where humanity is destroyed and all kinds of cruel experiments are being done, what did the Governor do, why does he not need to open his mouth to make a sound to pass directly through his brain!

Gao Chengchuan walked a few steps, and the guards didn't dare to come out, only to see the old man looking around for a while, and then turned back to Prince Mingxi and said, "Please wait a while, Your Highness, the old minister asked people to prepare the carriage......"

"Isn't there a horse?" Prince Mingxi pointed to the war horse beside him and said with a smile, "Although I am not a person who practices martial arts, I can still easily control a horse, although the governor leads the way in front, you don't have to bother to transfer the car over, oh yes, Minister Zuo will go back to Moge first and wait, Yan Gongzi will wait for me to report to my father, and I need the Bipolar Society to make the final decision, if Gongzi is really guilty, I will never tolerate it, and then I can only ask Minister Zuo to bear with me." ”

"Your Highness is polite, impartial law enforcement is the right thing to do. Minister Zuo clasped his hands into fists, bent down and saluted, Prince Mingxi turned over and got on his horse, and Gao Chengchuan snorted coldly and followed.
