"You have been to the palace before, and we have met." Lei Shi used an affirmative sentence this time.

Ten years ago, on the day when the accident happened, he met An Mixiu under the ginkgo tree. At that time, he was 15 years old and An Mixiu was 6 years old. It is estimated that the knight commander brought him to have his fingerprints taken.Maybe it was just an ordinary information collection at the time, or maybe it was just in case in the future. No one would have thought that it would be a tragedy of the entire Knights' demise.

"I have been here before, but why do I have no impression of the knight commander... I have no impression of my father." An Mixiu looked past Leishi and turned to the oil painting hanging on the wall.The knight commander in the portrait is so strange that I can't find it in my memory. The only sense of familiarity comes from the same hair color and eye color.That person's face was far more resolute and sharp than his own, and he knew that he had experienced wind and rain at a glance.But the master once said that he looks very non-aggressive, especially his eyes, which are very innocent and very suitable for being an undercover agent.

If this is the case, then my appearance may be more similar to my mother.Mother should be a very gentle and kind person.Vaguely imagining imaginary parents in his mind, An Mixiu sighed, turned around and prepared to enter the secret door.

The shoulder was suddenly pressed, Lei Shi jumped over An Mixiu, took the lead and let him follow behind.The tall figure is the first to sink into the darkness, and the darkness ahead is full of unknowns, and he is always moving forward.There was no light in the passage, and it was clear that he couldn't see clearly, but An Mixiu instinctively felt relieved.He quietly stretched out his hand and grabbed Lei Shi's fluttering corner of his clothes. The piece of white cloth was like a talisman, and the sense of security spread from his palm to his whole body.But he let go of it after a few seconds.

Why is it like this, if it is discovered, it will probably be laughed at by this vicious person again.An Mixiu was angry, stepped forward quickly, and moved from behind Lei Shi to the position next to him, and the two walked side by side.

It's not just me who is facing everything, but also Leishi.Of course, I have always protected others by myself, and it feels good to be protected once in a while, but An Mixiu is not weak, he doesn't need to hide behind anyone.

They walked along the dark and narrow passage, with their arms touching each other, relying on Leishi's Yuanli skills to create electric sparks in the middle, and using the faint light to avoid hitting the wall.After walking for about 1 minute, after turning three corners, I finally entered a relatively empty room.They finally didn't have to squeeze in the passageway.

There is no electric light in this room, only an oil lamp can be seen on the round wooden table in the center of the room.An Mixiu went over to pick it up, more dust was on his palms, he simply wiped the lamp wall clean with his hands, and then handed it to Lei Shi beside him to help light it up.The dim light of the fire barely illuminated the room, and they found themselves in the middle of several open wooden boxes. Those boxes were full of files, and there was some desiccant in addition, presumably to prevent the handwriting from blurring.

Lei Shi casually picked up a roll and unfolded it. Judging from the feel of the hand, the material was made of kraft paper, which was more than enough to preserve for ten years. However, these documents gave him the feeling that they were far more than ten years old.At first glance, I couldn't realize what was written. The dossier was divided into left and right columns, and the left column was full of family names. Lei Shi found that many of them belonged to the prince's camp.There are also a few who have fallen down and are no longer nobles, but they can still live in style.The right column contains large and small numbers.Lei Shi closed the box in front of him, and found a small letter R where it should have been locked.

"Is this a bill?" An Mixiu also took a volume and began to read it, and finally came to a conclusion.In fact, he originally wanted to say IOU, but he didn't feel like it.Several families are not short of money at all, and they will not borrow collectively. The current situation is more like they gave the money to someone.Lei Shi leaned over to An Mixiu, and found that the box he was looking at also had letters on the lock, this time it was E.Immediately, he and An Mixiu separately observed several other wooden boxes, and finally pieced together the letters they got—TOREG.

If you guessed right, these information should be the amount of bribes Lei Zhe received from the nobles obtained from the investigation by the Knight Commander.Lei Shi suddenly realized that he had always wondered where the prince's income came from. In terms of arms and business involvement and competitiveness, this person was definitely no match for him and Lei Yi, and he paid the most when paying taxes at the end of the year.Lei Zhe attributed these illegal gains to his rationalized income, and he accepted the money with peace of mind.Corruption and money laundering, two charges are enough to give him a blow.They continued to rummage, and soon found the signatures of the heads of several major families, as well as the attached seals of wax, in other boxes.

Wouldn't the knight commander intend to hand over the evidence to Lei Zhe to make him surrender himself in front of the old king?The idea that popped up in his mind made Lei Shi speechless for a while. Obviously, this plan had no chance of success, but combined with An Mixiu's upright personality around him, he suddenly felt that the Knight Commander could not fail to do this.An Mixiu has a straightforward temper, and his father probably isn't much better.But the old king also died inexplicably, and the whole knight order died...

Could it be that the knight commander told the old king first, and was later discovered by the prince, who had to silence him in order to stabilize his position?Now they only have the motive and the key evidence to overthrow the prince, which can have a great impact on his reputation and credibility, but there is no evidence that Lei Zhe poisoned the old king.According to the last words of the knight commander, this evidence should also be found.Lei Shi discussed with An Mixiu, and the two searched the room again, but found nothing after half an hour.They can't stay for too long. Camille can only guarantee their safety for two hours. After this time, the guards in the restricted area will change their guards. They will definitely be found.It's okay for me to say that it would be very difficult for An Mixiu to clear up his suspicions.

"You take away the roll with the signature and wax seal, and take the other two at will, choose the one with the larger amount, understand what I mean?" Lei Shi said to himself.Rummaging in the box, only to find that the roll I saw just now was missing.When he turned around, the little guy was stuffing things into his sleeves and shirt.The two thought of going together.

"Hide it! I promise it will be fine!" An Mixiu flicked his sleeve to make sure it wouldn't fall out, and patted his stomach again.His waist was originally relatively slender, and even though he had muscles in his abdomen, his shirt was still a bit empty, but now that he hid the file, the clothes on his body looked more fitted.They closed the box again, shook off the dust on their coats, pretended nothing had happened and exited the secret door, and returned to the knight commander's room.The items that An Mixiu touched in the house were wiped by two people once to avoid leaving fingerprints and causing hidden dangers in the future.

The guard in the corridor was still lying on the ground unconscious. The one in the garden who had been changed was even worse. He had been kicked out of the palace for negligence when Lei Shi passed by the garden. Now An Mixiu didn’t have to change his clothes anymore. , just leave the guard uniform in the room.Like the last time they entered the palace, Lei Shi wrapped his arms around An Mixiu's shoulders and put his arm around An Mixiu. Others just thought it was the third prince and brought the princess-to-be for a walk, but they didn't expect that the two of them would carry with them enough to change the kingdom. evidence.

"Hey, where do you think the other evidence is hidden?" Lei Shi and An Mixiu posted extremely aggressively, the little guy was wrapped in his arms, and the two laughed and whispered from time to time, pretending to conspire.

"What else?" An Mixiu was a little uncomfortable being hugged by him, but he was not as embarrassed as before, and now he is more used to it.

"I remember that the knight commander seemed to say before his death that he had evidence that Lei Zhe poisoned the old king. Now we only have his criminal motives. Although these black histories are enough to have an impact on his status, they cannot guarantee a fatal blow. You have to know that for the enemy, it must be guaranteed that they will never stand up again."

"Otherwise, when they catch their breath, we will be the ones who die."

"Lei Shi, do you have a sister?" An Mixiu raised his head and interrupted his monologue.

"Yes, she robbed me when I was a child. And she was older than me, and she was taller than me before. She couldn't beat me, and she was so angry." Lei Shi looked down at An Mixiu, wondering why the topic suddenly changed. "You know Ray?"

"How is it possible? I just wonder if other princes will have other evidence? Wouldn't it be safer if you and someone kept it separately?"

"It's really..." Lei Shi stared at An Mixiu's green eyes in a daze, thinking that the Knight Commander had indeed taught Lei Taijutsu, this possibility does exist.It's just that he and his sister Huang have been against each other since they were young, so they absolutely don't want to join forces unless it is absolutely necessary.

An Mixiu was about to say something more, but found that Lei Shi's eyes froze, and he was thrown behind him before he could react.Wait for An Mixiu to gain a firm foothold.He found that Thunder Lion was fully prepared for battle, and even summoned the power weapon Thor's Hammer, and placed it in front of him.Through the purple-blue electric light, An Mixiu saw a woman standing not far in front of her. She was also in black uniform, but instead of a coat, she was wearing a white cloak.The military rank on the shoulder is equal to that of Lei Shi, and the appearance of the two people is [-]% similar. Although the other party is a woman, his facial features are very sharp, and his aggressiveness is even stronger than that of Lei Shi.

"Is this your princess-to-be? You have a good eye!" Rey smiled and stepped forward to pinch An Mixiu's cheek. Just as he took a step forward, he was blocked by the thunder that fell from the sky.

"Go with Camille first, and he will take you home." Pushed hard on his back, An Mixiu staggered a few steps and was pushed away by Leishi, and was soon taken away by Camille who came.Before leaving, An Mixiu found that there was no killing intent in Lei Yi's eyes, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.The conversation between the two people couldn't be heard clearly, and he could only vaguely hear some key words.

"There are some things that we need to discuss alone. I don't want to scare him." Lei Shi glanced at An Mixiu's direction, and quickly concentrated on dealing with his sister Huang.

"I think, you may have some information, and I happen to have some here." Rey spread his arms, showing helplessness. "Relax, I am your imperial sister, not an enemy."

"Leishi, let's make a deal."
