This dynasty is really messed up

After Shang Xie opened his eyes, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment.The dirty clothes on his body have been changed, and the thin silk quilt smells of gardenia.

"You're awake." Young Master Shang stood by the basin rack and wrung out the towel vigorously.A few reddish-brown dry towels hung on the shelf, and the water in the basin was muddy brown. "You fainted on the river beach in the outskirts of the city. Fortunately, a passing woodcutter saw you and carried you back to the city. I also heard that a man similar to you just came to the hospital, so I found you and took you Take me to the post house where I stayed. The doctor said that you are seriously injured and need to apply medicine for a few days. Wang, help you with the medicine." He handed him the twisted towel, and then brought the medicine box on the table.

"This... I'm sorry." Seeing that Gong Zishang even brought the medicine box over, he didn't feel ashamed to shirk anything. "Dare to ask my lord, how long have I been asleep?"

"It's only been half a day, and it's still dusk." Young Master Shang motioned him to unbutton his shirt.

"That's still too late. Please ask someone to tell Uncle Lu...Cousin, let him quickly send someone to the outskirts of the city, and go eastward to see if there are any places where people live, or some kind of dense forest. I found a man wearing blue linen clothes and a black belt around his waist, with a thin body and a monkey-like face." Shang Xie said quickly as he untied his belt.

Gong Zishang nodded, rolled up his wide sleeves, then took a cotton ball to apply the powder, and gently wiped his firm chest.He didn't know how many times he had done this kind of thing, but he was too weak and was protected by the emperor's brother. Every time he saw that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen because of himself, he secretly made up his mind to take medicine for him. Becoming stronger can protect Brother Huang, but so what if he becomes really strong, because someone is completely capable of protecting Brother Huang, and what Brother Huang needs is actually that person, not him.

"Who is that person you are chasing?" Young Master Shang asked casually.

Shang Xie raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him who lowered his head and concentrated on administering the medicine, and thought for a while: "A fugitive. I am good at solving mysterious cases in my hometown. My mother heard that my cousin was very busy with a case recently, so she recommended me to come over." , want me to come to the capital to see the world."

"Oh, really?" Young Master Shang smiled, in the end you still choose to hide it from me, right? "Okay. Put on your clothes." Gong Zishang stood up and tidied up the medicine box, "I have nothing to do recently, so I might as well help you. You see, I am more familiar with the capital city than you, and can use it." With some powers, it will be much more convenient to handle the case, isn't it?" He suggested.

"...Yes." Shang Xie pulled up his clothes, lowered his head and tied his clothes carefully.He heard the subtext of these words - if you dare to refuse, I will die, "Thank you, my lord, for helping me." He looked up at him, smiling, with the face of a princely merchant in his eyes.

After closing the door, Prince Shang quickly walked across the yard, bypassed the artificial mountains and lakes, walked through the long and narrow corridors, and finally came to the most remote corner of the entire post house.At this time, a man in black had been standing in a secluded place waiting for a long time.

"My lord." The man in black immediately knelt on the ground when he saw him coming, with a respectful tone.

Young Master Shang withdrew his previous gentle expression and turned stern. "Go to the outskirts of the city and find that Zhao Dazhuang for this king. That guy actually dared to run back to the capital after eating a bear's heart and leopard guts."

"Yes. What to do with him after we catch him?"

"Let him disappear." A sternness flashed across Young Master Shang's eyes.

"……Yes."

"Also, you have to be more careful in your actions in the future. A troublesome guy has been invited here. Let's call more people together to make the situation as serious as possible."

"Subordinates obey."

"Young Master, how are you doing recently? Can I borrow your sword to be safe?" Young Master Shang took a creed from the pigeon's leg, and after reading it carefully, he remembered that he had forgotten something.But some things are far more secure in his place than in other places, and it is impossible to get distracted and go back to get the sword in the near future.Then he tore the paper to pieces and let the pigeons swallow it.

Shang Xie didn't live in Shangshu's mansion, it is said that he wanted to deceive others, so he found a room in the post house, next door to Prince Shang.

On this day, Gongzi Shang sat alone in the teahouse, drinking tea while admiring the drizzle in front of him.Shang Xie was called by Lu Xinyu to investigate a murder case that was suspected to have been committed by the same person who let the criminal escape.

Young Master Shang held the empty teacup in his palm and turned it slowly.Everything is in his deployment.Every year at this time, Brother Huang would always get sick, and then he would ask himself to come to the capital to see him.His son-in-law Shang only needs to start planning a few days before these few days, so that he has a good reason to come from Jiangnan and make up a random one to participate in this case, and no one will suspect him at all.

Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs, very noisy.Young Master Shang frowned, his interest was disturbed early in the morning.Just as he was about to get up to check something, a soldier with a knife went upstairs and showed him his token of the Imperial Forest Army, saying that the emperor invited him into the palace for a while.

Young Master Shang turned cold, does this count as "please"?Although he thought so in his heart, he still entered the palace under the "welcome" of these soldiers with a smile on his face.

"I don't know what the emperor asked me for?" Young Master Shang walked into the imperial study with a smile, and stood in front of the emperor who was practicing calligraphy on the table.

The emperor picked up the brush, sank into his dantian, and wrote a line of words on the paper: "I haven't seen you for a year, so I take this opportunity to invite you into the palace. You also know that with my ability, the ancestors' country will be destroyed tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." , sooner or later, it will no longer belong to us. If I don’t see you now, I don’t know if there will be a chance to see you again in the future.”

Young Master Shang curled his lips, and just about to open his mouth to blame Brother Huang for talking nonsense, a sharp sword flew from the window directly opposite Brother Emperor's side, and flew past the Emperor who had just looked up at his younger brother. , Immediately afterwards, the eunuch shouted from outside the house: "There are assassins! There are assassins! Hurry up and escort!"

The emperor was stunned by the white light flashing in front of his eyes, but fortunately, Young Master Shang reacted quickly and immediately rushed to the side of the emperor's brother, relying on the advantage of being taller than him, hugged his shoulders, hugged him and crawled under the table in embarrassment.The two waited quietly under the table until they heard the sound of fighting outside gradually disappearing. To be on the safe side, Young Master Shang asked Brother Huang to stay inside first, and came out to see if it was really safe.When he crawled out, he found that there were no guards inside, only Brother Huang and him. He couldn't help wondering, the life of the emperor is so important, why no one came to save him?When he heard his brother calling his name from under the table and asking him how the situation outside was, he came to his senses and hurriedly pulled him out.

The eunuch hurried in after hearing movement in the study.The eunuch hurriedly knelt down under the stage, smacking his mouth all the time, saying "slave should die" every time.

"What's the use of keeping you guys! Where did you all go when it's so dangerous! How can His Majesty expect you to do things in the future! A bunch of trash!" Young Master Shang helped the emperor's brother, and pointed at the kneeling man in front of the palace. The eunuch shouted sharply.He was worried that the consolation of the emperor's brother would be more important than himself.

"It's okay, Xuanying, I just need to pay more attention to it in the future." The emperor stroked his chest, his breath flowing.

"You are always like this! Brother emperor, you are the emperor, if you don't be strict with those servants, they will be the ones who will rebel in the future!" Young Master Shang suddenly lost his temper.

The emperor shook his head with a wry smile, unable to speak anymore.

Afterwards, the prime minister hurried over after hearing the incident, and after learning the ins and outs of the incident, he asked the guards to pull the assassin out and behead him, and some servants and eunuchs who were not well escorted were punished.He asked Young Master Shang to stay and have dinner with the emperor, to suppress the emperor's surprise, but Young Master Shang declined, and left the palace on the grounds that there was still work to be done.

As soon as Young Master Shang left the palace, he immediately found someone following him behind him.Needless to say, it must have been sent by the damn prime minister.The young master sneered and deliberately wandered in the street to create an illusion for that person.He ate in the tavern at noon, and walked slowly in the market in the afternoon. When he passed the brothel, he would nod and smile with the women outside the building.He knew that the emperor's brother was beginning to doubt himself, otherwise how could he agree to perform today's scene with the prime minister to test his loyalty.It's a pity that this scene wasn't seamless after all, those actors weren't paying attention at all, showing off so many flaws to him.Young Master Shang chuckled, and the fan in his hand shook even more violently.

When Prince Shang returned to the post house, it was already dark.He saw Shang Xie sitting on the threshold, propping his head on one hand, not knowing what to look out of the door.He thought his behavior was very ridiculous, but he still walked up to him, simply sat on the threshold with him, and asked him what he was doing by the way.

Shang Xie glanced at him and said, "I'm waiting for Xiaoer who delivers food to come. The room is too stuffy, so I ran outside to cool off." In fact, he was waiting for him. "However," he wasn't looking at him, the closer he looked at him, the more restless his heart became, "I ordered an extra serving, I wonder if you have eaten yet."

Young Master Shang shook his head, the lantern on the door burned the flames into his eyes, and orange red rippled from his dark pupils.

The son-in-law picked up his chopsticks, "How is your investigation going?"

Shang Xie stopped burying his head in cooking, and suddenly regained his spirit: "The one who was killed was a court official, surnamed Sun Mingshuqian, and he was an official of the fourth grade, but as far as I know, he is not a good person, and his wealth from bribery exceeds that of the superior One million taels. All 132 members of the Sun House were brutally wiped out, and none survived. As for the murder weapon, it was a thin white thread. If the thread was shaken quickly, it would be enough to cut the blood vessels on the neck. Cut it off, and then the murderer drained the pond in the mansion and filled the pond with all the revelations. The method was very cruel. The murderer inscribed the poem written in the cell on the wall of Mr. Sun’s bedroom. Me and Some detectives have repeatedly inspected every corner of the mansion, but unfortunately the murderer did not leave many clues. There are scattered footprints everywhere, and it is impossible to distinguish which are the murderer and which are the people who fled. However, I find it very strange Except for the Sun couple, the rest of the people will have a white line of the murder weapon in their hands, and the murder weapon that killed the Sun couple has disappeared. This murderer is very cautious in doing things, I don’t know what he wants to express by doing this.”

The son's first reaction was, why are there so many people! "Maybe, he just missed these two, or the murderer has something to say." He answered a little absent-mindedly.

"Probably." Shang Xie glanced at him and replied slowly.

In the middle of the night, before Prince Shang fell asleep, he sat alone at the table with his head on his hands, admiring with great interest the residual candle that was still flickering tenaciously and emitting a faint light.A gust of wind blew up, and a black shadow flashed by the window, his eyes were covered with sleepiness, and when he opened them again, there was already a masked man in black kneeling in front of him.

"How do you do it!" He suddenly became angry, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it forward.

The man in black reacted quickly, jumped up, and when he landed again and returned to his original posture, there was an extra white glazed teacup in his hand. "My lord, this subordinate clearly followed your instructions to kill the Sun and his wife and put the murder weapon beside them. When this subordinate did these things, it did not disturb the rest of the mansion. This subordinate dared to use his wealth The matter of life guarantee is really not my doing. The subordinates don't know who it is."

Young Master Shang rubbed his temples wearily, "I will spare you this time, but you must be very careful in what you do in the future, and be careful if anyone is watching from behind you. You should also listen to this king clearly, the dog raised by this king has never He will turn around and bite me again, if a dog has the guts to betray me, it is better not to kill him." When he said this, his tone was very light, as if he was making a joke.

"Yes!" The man in black felt a little scared.

"Also, how about the assassination case of the emperor that I asked you to investigate?"

"Returning to your lord, this matter is as you expected. It is a play that the prime minister conspired to perform with the emperor to test whether you are loyal. Don't worry, those eunuchs and maidservants arrested by the subordinates for questioning will not see tomorrow." It's sunny."

"This is too much to scare the snake. How could the Ministry of Internal Affairs not know about the lack of a few people? Forget it, go get some silver to clear the records of the officials, let them mark the names of those people, and claim that they were sent back to the outside world. Yes. Now the prime minister lives in the palace, and he can’t take care of the affairs outside the palace for the time being, so you should make less trouble for the king in the palace, and do more things outside the palace.” Gongzi Shang thought for a while and said, these stupid slaves Make trouble for him.However, thinking that even the emperor's brother credulously trusted that damned prime minister, his head began to ache again, hey, why are you bothering, emperor's brother?

"Yes, my lord...Your subordinates have the courage to ask, is Qian Yuanwai's family going to do anything?"

"Go ahead, just kill the couple." He didn't know who was behind the scenes, and there was actually someone in this world who did it more neatly than him.
