"My lord, my lord!"

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple rushed into the prince's mansion like a black shadow flying across the courtyard, so frightened that Yuan Qi, who was feeding the birds, shook his hand and scattered all the millet.

"What are you doing yelling!"

While complaining, Yuan Qi lowered his body to pick up the millet.

The prince who was reading a book in the room heard the voice, frowned, saw the person kneeling in front of him, and said, "What's the name of the ghost?"

"My lord!" There were beads of sweat on Shaoqing's forehead, but right now he didn't have time to pay attention to it, he just said in horror, "Then Jia Liang is dead!"

"what?"

The prince stood up abruptly and asked, "How did you die?"

"He hit the wall and died! It's just last night!"

The interrogation was just finished yesterday, and he was asked to think about it, but he died at night?

The prince frowned, as if he was thinking about this matter, for a long time, he said: "Then Jia Liang is really alone?"

Shaoqing said: "My lord is still investigating."

The prince stroked his beard and thought deeply: "It must have been taken away and died for others."

Shaoqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked: "So, it's not him?"

"It's not him," the prince looked at him, "Now that the person is dead, it's impossible to find out who he is helping."

Shaoqing remained silent for a long time, just looked at the prince, waiting for the prince to tell the next step.

The prince pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Who said the case will be overturned?"

Shaoqing Nuonuo: "My lord, it's the emperor."

Seeing the prince's brows furrowed tightly, Shaoqing expected something bad to happen, and waited to be punished.

"Why reverse the case?"

"Before the emperor said, it was because of him that the case was closed hastily. We can't let a suspicious person go."

"Ah."

The prince made a mocking short voice and said, "Alright then, I will ask you."

Shaoqing was about to speak, but at this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "My lord, Lin Xie from Jingzhou has sent a letter!"

The prince stepped out, and felt relieved when he got the letter.

Lord, when the four people in Jingzhou were missing, an old lady who made clothes by the river said that she saw three or five people doing something on the other side of the river. She was a little deaf and couldn't hear clearly, but when she saw those people, she boarded the boat quickly , According to my understanding, that boat should be carrying Suhui and Ma Ruchu, and Chen Dong and Tang's case are on the boat behind. For some reason, all four of them disappeared. According to my observation, it should be that they threatened the boatman and took the boatman directly. The ship sailed to another place and sent away later.

After the prince finished reading, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his heart was clear.

Shaoqing said from the side: "My lord, is the missing case related to the stone-throwing case?"

The prince glanced at him and said, "At present, I don't know either."

After finishing speaking, he left the palace and headed towards Daming Palace.

When Eunuch Li saw that the prince was coming, he hurriedly notified him, saying: "My lord, the queen is inside."

The prince flicked his sleeves and said: "You only think that this prince wants to discuss important matters."

Eunuch Li quickly agreed, and after a while, the queen came out. When the two passed by, she paused and said, "The emperor's dragon is not in good health."

The prince said nothing, and stepped into the inner hall.

The old emperor had just had his meal at this time, seeing him, he smiled and said, "Do you have something important to discuss with me?"

The prince cut straight to the point: "Why did the emperor overturn the stone-throwing case three years ago?"

The emperor's eyes wandered, but he was unwilling to answer this question.

The prince took a step closer and said, "Lin Xie is investigating the case in Jingzhou and will be back in two months. What does the emperor plan to do then?"

The old emperor sighed softly, looked at the book case, and said: "There are some things that I have to do, and this can be regarded as repaying the favor."

The prince frowned slightly, but he didn't understand what he meant, and said: "The emperor thinks wildly day and night, so it's not safe."

The old emperor looked at the prince, and said with a smile: "Fuyi, you will know these things, and you will know them a hundred years from now."

"you!"

The prince was furious, but seeing him refused to speak, Gu Zi was sullen.

The two had no more words, the prince shook his sleeves and left without saying a word.

"I don't understand the rules more and more."

The emperor murmured behind his back.

Yuan Qi waited all afternoon, but didn't see his prince come home, so he panicked.I thought he was going to the emperor, but after asking Eunuch Li, he found out that he had left long ago. Eunuch Li thought he was going back to the prince's mansion, so he felt strange now, and asked, "Is it in Dali Temple?"

"I asked Shaoqing, and he said he didn't come this afternoon."

Yuan Qi hurriedly went to ask other people, Eunuch Li entered the door and said softly: "Your Majesty, Yuan Qi is looking for the prince everywhere."

"Where can he go?"

"I don't know."

The emperor closed his eyes and didn't think about it.

Yuan Qi asked all the court ladies and eunuchs, and finally learned that the prince was out of the city.

This is strange, the prince doesn't need to go out to buy anything, why go out of the city?

Yuan Qi touched the bald hair on the top of the big dog beside him, and said, "Good boy, the prince will be here in a while, and we can start dinner right away."

However, Yuan Qi didn't see the prince back until late at night, so he was really anxious now, and turned around the room anxiously with his aggrieved face.

A little maid beside her said: "Could it be that the prince has gone to live in someone else's house?"

"How is it possible!" Yuan Qi rolled his eyes and said, "My lord can't sleep without me!"

The little eunuch chuckled and said, "I'm afraid the prince will fall asleep without you by his side."

Yuan Qi blushed and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense! Don't talk nonsense!"

While cursing, he waved his hand over, intending to hit someone, but unfortunately, the little eunuch was quick and ran away in one or two strokes, laughing at him.

"Don't care about like you!"

Yuan Qi thought to himself where the prince might go, but he had no clue. In the past, the prince liked to go for a stroll in the market, but he rarely left the city. Why did the prince go out of the city alone? Woolen cloth?

Yuan Qi couldn't figure it out, his head always only turned slightly when his lord was angry, but now his mind is completely muddled.

It wasn't until the next morning that the prince came back in a hurry, still holding an envelope in his hand. When he saw Yuan Qi, he closed the door before he could listen to Yuan Qi's bitter history of the night when he was not with the prince. After one pass, he hid in the house by himself.

Yuan Qi ate a closed door, but was not angry, but worried about the prince, so he hurried out to make porridge for the prince.

The prince carefully opened the letter, needless to say, this is what he got last night.

If you want to say where the prince went last night, it has something to do with the stone-throwing case.

The prince has always ignored the rights and wrongs of the people. He has never cared about which family has made a fortune and which family has gone bankrupt. Moreover, he doesn't even want to hear about these things. The affairs of the common people , is what the old emperor cares about.

However, yesterday, it was the first time for the prince to learn about the situation of the people in Chang'an City. A big family that rivals the imperial palace.

Their large courtyard is even worse than that of the prince's mansion. The furnishings in the house are even rare and rare. Even the servants are dressed in the same style, and they are not bad at all. Even the things in the dog bowl , almost caught up with Yuan Qi's food, the prince said silently in his heart, give Yuan Qi more money next time.

Yesterday, the prince visited all the big families in Chang'an. In fact, there are only three families, the Xiao family, the Zhang family, and the Zhao family who is said to be related to the royal family. I heard that they all occupy a part of the world in Chang'an. A little bit of relationship, even if it is a blessing from the previous life, the black chicken will directly turn into a phoenix, and it will ascend to heaven.

But along the way, the prince didn't get any real clues. The three families are all famous people. Even if there is something wrong, they have to hide it when they see the prince.Until the prince was about to go back with regrets——

"My lord!"

Yuan Qi was holding porridge and shouting outside the door.

The prince let him in, and then said: "Later, you go and send a message to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, saying that the king has something to discuss with him, come here this evening, and the king will take a nap first."

Yuan Qi said weakly: "My lord, you are going to sleep until tomorrow morning for this nap, but you called him over in the evening?"

The prince looked at him with disdain on his face, and said: "Do you think this king's words are dishonest?!"

"No." Yuan Qi asked when he went out, "Where did you go yesterday, my lord? I'm worried about you."

There is a thorn in the prince's words: "Go and see how rich the poor Limin people are in the eyes of the emperor."

Yuan Qi knew that he was dissatisfied with the emperor again, so he didn't provoke him, so he went out.

When Shaoqing of Dali Temple arrived at the prince's mansion, Yuan Qi made tea for him, prepared a reclining chair, and said: "The prince is taking a nap, I'm afraid he won't wake up right now, you just wait."

"Didn't you say that you will come to discuss in the evening? Are you still awake?"

Yuan Qi said with a bitter face: "Shaoqing, you don't know, my prince always sleeps until tomorrow after taking a nap, and we can't wake him up yet."

So, after Shaoqing drank five pots of tea and slept for three or four hours, the prince finally woke up at midnight.

Seeing the darkness outside the window, he seemed to remember, as if he hadn't done anything.

When he went out and saw Shaoqing lying soundly asleep, he realized that he woke up Yuan Qi as well.

The prince looked at the dazed Shaoqing, and said coldly: "This prince stayed up all night yesterday to investigate the case. Fortunately, you slept in this prince's mansion!"

Shaoqing hurriedly got up to plead guilty, and said, "My lord, did you find something?"

The prince snorted coldly and asked, "After the stone-throwing case, did any other strange cases happen in Chang'an City?"

Shaoqing frowned, and said: "My lord, I was busy with the stone-throwing case at that time, even if there was any case, I wouldn't notice it."

"If it's not the Dali Temple accepting the case, it's the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Tomorrow, go and check to see if there is such a case. It should be after the tenth day of March and before May."

Shaoqing agreed, and continued: "Is the subsequent case related to the stone-throwing case?"

"I can't tell." The prince said with erratic eyes, "This is all my conjecture."

Shaoqing nodded, this prince, who has always been indifferent to world affairs, why he suddenly started to solve the case at this time, he doesn't understand.

The prince said: "Also, I want you to investigate one thing."

"You say."

"Then Jia Liang, who do you think it is?"

Shaoqing thought for a moment and said, "Could it be a beggar?"

"Is there any other possibility?" The prince pondered, and said, "This king thinks that it may also be a commodity in the hands of a trafficker, or a servant in a family, no matter what it is, it is listed in the register, you write to Dali Temple Secretary , Let him come back immediately, and thoroughly search the number of beggars in Chang'an City, the situation of slaves sold by human traffickers, and the situation of slaves sold by which family, this king does not want to hear the process, but wants the result!"

"Yes!"

After Shaoqing left, Yuan Qi stepped forward and said, "My lord, did you go to investigate the case yesterday?"

The prince glanced at him, and said coldly, "Otherwise?"

"It's not that you haven't returned all night, you don't know, I went to the emperor to find you."

"emperor?"

The prince's eyes suddenly froze, and he said, "What does the emperor say?"

"I didn't say anything."

The prince lay down on the pear flower wooden chair and said, "Okay, go and call a servant girl over."

Yuan Qi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said happily, "My lord, are you going to take a concubine?"

The prince stretched out his foot and kicked Yuan Qi out of the door, angrily: "Call me over here!"

Yuan Qi quickly shut up, and went out like a shit.

Not long after, a maid who had been cleaning the yard outside came over. When she was standing in front of the prince, her legs were still trembling. It was so late at night, I don't know why the prince asked her to come here.Could it be——

"My lord wants you to do one thing."

The prince stared at her and said, "What's your name?"

The servant girl complained silently in her heart, after sweeping the floor of the prince's mansion for so many years, the prince who passed by the yard every day did not remember her name, it is really a nobleman who forgets things.

"It's Xiaoxue."

"how old are you?"

"I'm 22 this year."

"You haven't married yet at this age?"

"Yes."

The prince suddenly smiled and said, "After you have done this for me, how about I promise you a good family?"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Xiaoxue quickly knelt down.

"Okay, listen..."
