miscalculation

Although the matter of Xiao Jie's disappearance in Lu Yuefeng has been investigated for several days, there has been no result.Xiao Cheng personally led the troops, searched almost the entire Luyue Peak, but there was still no trace, only the corpses of Xiao Jie's followers were found.He was worried about Xiao Liang's injury, and the search was fruitless, so he returned to the capital Jiangling.

It's just that I didn't expect to see a group of masked men committing murder in the street, trying to kill this down-and-out man.He knew something was wrong, so he ordered someone to take it down, but he didn't expect to meet a rescuer outside the city.Fortunately, because the people on this road had already been cleared away, and they probably didn't have many eyes and ears, and they were with their own soldiers, he invited Qin Xin to a private house to rest.

Qin Xin didn't say much. After bandaging, he wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by Xiao Cheng.He frowned and asked, "What? Your Excellency still wants to report me to the police?"

He knew that Xiao Cheng would never send him here to heal his injuries if he wanted to report to the officials, but he didn't want to talk to him too much, so his tone was naturally bad.

"Last time you saved me, so naturally I will pay it back. It's just that the people who chased you were all masked killers. Look at them all with high martial arts skills. Where did you provoke so many enemies? The land of the capital , They dare to commit crimes in the street, you must have a lot of background, do you want me to check it for you?"

Xiao Cheng retreated from the crowd and talked to him alone, he knew that this person's background was not simple, seeing him stretch out his hand, he didn't know why he came to the capital alone.

"You don't have to talk to me, either let me go or kill me, there is no need to say anything else." Qin Xin seemed to be very indifferent to him, and he didn't even show any gratitude.

"You are so strange, you don't seem to like people in the public family, could it be that the government has offended you?" Xiao Cheng didn't mind, and asked patiently.

"Stop talking nonsense! Get out of the way." Qin Xin said, with the momentum of using force to break out.

"Since I saved you, I won't imprison you. You can leave if you want. If you have anything to do, you can go to Zhao Wang's mansion to find me. You take this token. Seeing this order is like seeing this king. If you need anything Wherever you can help, just come to me." Xiao Cheng knew that he couldn't stop this person, so he took out his token and gave it to him.

Qin Xin laughed out loud when he saw his badge, and said, "Even if I die, I won't use your token. But you are too careless, an imposing prince, and you should also see that the person who chased me It must have a lot of background, even so, are you not afraid that they will make a big fuss with your token? Or maybe I am with them, and we are acting for you."

Now the news that Emperor Yanqi wants to establish a crown prince has already spread throughout the government and the public, no one knows that the several princes are now secretly competing, and no one would think of any trouble at this juncture.Xiao Cheng actually gave the token to someone of unknown origin, which is very suspicious in itself.

"Perhaps I sent the people who came after you, and I was in collusion with them to find out your details." Xiao Cheng laughed.After all, it happened to pass by outside the city, save him once, and now he just happened to meet him inside the city, the two encounters were a bit too coincidental.

Hearing this, Qin Xin took out a dagger and put his backhand on Xiao Cheng's neck, and the guards from outside rushed in and surrounded him.Qin Xin laughed loudly: "No matter what tricks you have, if you kill you with one knife, can you still have something to say?"

Xiao Cheng showed no fear, and looked straight at him calmly. The two of them met each other's eyes, and then laughed loudly, which made the guards dumbfounded.Xiao Cheng waved them down immediately, and then said: "You have no reason to kill me."

Qin Xin slowly withdrew the knife, and he said slowly: "You are wrong, just because your surname is Xiao, I have 1 reasons to kill you."

"Do you know that this is disrespectful?" Xiao Cheng's expression remained calm.

"Yes, so you should know that if I do something big with your token, but it would be perfectly natural for me to plant the blame on you." Qin Xin said, and he started to leave.

"Wait a minute, I don't care what grievances you have with the royal family, but I gave you this token, so I won't take it back." Xiao Cheng was actually more stubborn than he thought, which was unexpected.

"You, what kind of prince are you? In that kind of place, if you are too upright, sometimes you don't even know how to die." Qin Xin finally took the token, put it in his sleeve and put it away.

"Do you know that place very well?" Xiao Cheng asked.

"I'm Qin Xin, let's just leave now, today the two favors are equal, and in the future you and I will be clean." Qin Xin clasped his fists and pushed the window away.

Xiao Cheng looked at the disappearing figure in the night, and murmured: "If you are sincere and trustworthy, why can't you be a friend?"

He thought that it was too late today and it was inconvenient to see the palace, and he thought that he would go to see Xiao Qi tomorrow and talk about Lu Yuefeng in detail.He got married last year and was granted the Prince Zhao's residence, so naturally he doesn't live in the palace now.Of the seven princes, he is the first to get married, and he is helpless when he thinks about it, even if he occasionally wants to have an interview with Xiao Liang, it is difficult to do so.

Xiao Liang, who was in the palace at this time, couldn't sleep at night. He went to investigate and found out that the people in Xiao Jie's palace either died or were transferred after his accident.Now that Concubine Hui has passed away, there is no one to take care of the affairs of the harem, others bully him for being young and powerless, it is difficult to check the records of Xiao Jie's trip last month.Eunuch Lin spent a lot of effort to find out what happened on the sixth day of the lunar new year.

Xiao Jie ran out of the palace on the sixth day of the lunar new year, not to hunt, but to a brothel called Hua Nong Pavilion, and then he was summoned by Xiao Yi when he returned to the palace. It seemed that the incident of leaving the palace was exposed, and he was reprimanded.On the second day, he actually showed a happy face, and began to ask people to inquire about Lu Yuefeng's affairs.Then the book about Lu Yuefeng must have appeared in Huanong Pavilion.Xiao Liang thought that he would not be able to go out of the palace to visit because he was young, and he was really depressed.

He got up early the next day, still feeling unhappy, alone looking at the gun used by Xiao Jie in a trance, never noticing a person standing outside the door.

"Seventh brother, what are you thinking? Why is your face so sad? Are you still worried about third brother?" He looked up and saw Xiao Cheng standing there in a light yellow robe.

"Second brother, you're back? But what's the news about Lu Yuefeng?"

"This...seventh brother, don't worry, although we found a few corpses, but there is no third brother among them. Let's just treat him as a fun trip, don't think too much, your body is important right now."

"Second brother, you have always known that although third brother likes to dance with knives and fight with guns, he would never run away without a trace when I was ill. This matter is very wrong, let alone him, he..." Xiao Liang said, tears fell from his eyes.

Xiao Cheng was very anxious, he had already known the imperial doctor's order not to let him be overjoyed and saddened, and he wanted to be relieved, but he couldn't talk about it.

"Brother Huang, I have something to ask, I hope you can help me." Xiao Liang has been close to him since childhood, and he is rarely so solemn.

"Seventh brother, if you have something to say, just say it, the emperor will allow everything."

"There is a place called Hua Nong Pavilion outside the palace, I want to go there." Xiao Liang's words were firm, with the intention of not giving in.

Xiao Liang had just recovered from a serious illness, coupled with the fact that he was still young and had never been out of the palace, mentioning this place for no reason made Xiao Cheng very suspicious.

Xiao Cheng replied: "That's a famous brothel in the city, seventh brother, how do you know there? Where did you go and why?"

"Second brother, don't ask, you just want to ask if you will help me in the end?"

"Absolutely not! If you have anything to do, you can tell the emperor brother that I will help you go to the land of flowers and willows. The second brother will not agree no matter what."

"Second brother!"

"Okay, don't worry, I'll let someone check the details of this building now, but you can't act rashly. No matter what I find out, I will tell you. Even if you refuse to tell the reason, the second brother will not blame you."

"If I don't tell you, how would you know what to look for?" Xiao Liang sighed.

"You are most concerned about the matter of the third brother. He often sneaks out of the palace. It must be here..." What he meant right now is that Xiao Jie's going out of the palace is probably not for hunting, but because he often goes here to sleep flowers and sleep in willows. .

"It turns out, second brother, you already knew that this place is related to third brother!" Xiao Liang's tone was rather annoyed, probably because he blamed him for not telling him earlier.

"Seventh brother, in fact, I have already secretly checked this place, but seeing that he is an ordinary brothel, I only thought that the third brother fell in love with a girl there. This matter should have little to do with Lu Yuefeng, so I didn't let anyone Keep going."

"What kind of girl is there? Second brother, you must help me investigate further." Xiao Liang said excitedly.

"What's going on, seventh brother, did you find something in the palace?"

Only then did Xiao Liang call Jiao Nu to question him, and he told about the incident of the people's accident in Xiao Jie's palace, which made Xiao Cheng suspicious.

Only then did he agree: "Okay, I'll send someone to investigate right away. Don't think too much when you're in the palace, and cultivate yourself well."

Although after Master Jingkong's treatment, Xiao Liang is no longer seriously ill, but successive accidents made him thinner and thinner.

After Qin Xin bid farewell to Xiao Cheng, he hid several times, but he didn't see the killer chasing him, so he gradually let go of his guard.He went to Shen's residence to inquire about the news again, but he did not expect that Shen Lingjiao had already been taken to Taifu Yin Zhonglin's residence, because she is now the righteous daughter of the Yin family and the future princess, so her status is naturally different from that of the richest man's daughter.This Yin residence is strictly guarded, and he tried to sneak in several times but was blocked back.

On the day of the queen's death, all the officials must go out of the palace to pay respects, Shen Lingjiao must go with Yin Zhonglin, and it is just right to make a big fuss on the way.Thinking of this, he waited patiently for a month.
