Guan Yue was woken up.

He came back later than Pingwei and the others last night, took another shower, and went to bed until midnight.Unexpectedly, it was just dawn today when I heard a "bang" from the next door, followed by the sound of the bed board shaking.

"..." Mr. Guan was still a little confused at first, wondering why there was such a big commotion, then covered his head with the quilt, and tried to fall asleep again, but after a while...he heard the voice of His Highness next door Voice.

"..." Guan Yue poked his head out of the quilt, exhaled heavily, got out of bed after calming down for a while, and went to look for Lou Ke, wondering what time it was and how long he had slept.

It's a quarter of an hour, and I only slept for a little more than three hours...

Master Guan went back to the bed expressionlessly, sat on it and sat quietly for a while, the rocking bed next door was still shaking happily, and his heart beat faster due to his faint panting, Guan Yue was a little angry, thinking about this broken inn angrily The sound insulation is too bad, so he should find someone to come back and compare with them.

Taking a deep breath, he put on a coat and slammed the door out.

He's going to change rooms!

Guan Yue and the innkeeper expressed their needs, but they did not say that the sudden room change was related to the two people next to them. Fortunately, there are still vacant rooms in the inn, and the boss arranged him in a room three rooms away from Pingwei and the others. , Guan Yue quickly packed up his things and lay down on the bed peacefully——finally....no longer heard.

He slept until noon. The downstairs of this inn is the place to eat, and the upstairs is the place to stay. After getting dressed, Guan Yue was going to have lunch.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Ping Wei and He Zhou eating, there was a large table of dishes in front of them, Ping Wei and He Zhou were sitting together, after seeing him.

"You're awake, come over and eat together, the dishes are just ready," Ping said with a smile, "We went to your room to call you, but the door was locked, did you change the room?"

He looked at Guan Yue who was walking towards him.

Guan Yue sat down across from him, and Xiao Er came over to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for him, and he replied flatly, "Well, it's a bit noisy."

"Noisy?" Ping Wei was stunned for a moment, and then let out a "huh", his cheeks flushed, he was still looking at Guan Yue, but after understanding what the other party was implying, he lowered his head and glanced at He Zhou angrily.

He Zhou couldn't help but smile, Ping Wei's reaction...was a bit cute.

Ping Wei grabbed He Zhou's messy hand on his leg and "threw" it back. He Zhou turned his head to look at him and smiled. The hearty sex scene in the morning made him feel happy now, and his usual iceberg face seemed to melt like spring abundant.

The constant "eye contact" between the two people on the opposite side made Guan Yue feel very uncomfortable. He coughed heavily and knocked on the table with his chopsticks, "Eat."

Ping Wei withdrew his gaze from staring at He Zhou, and made a guilty "hmm".

He Zhou was still laughing, and when he saw Guan Yue lowered his head and concentrated on eating, he approached Ping Wei and asked in a soft voice, "Do you regret asking him to come and eat together?"

"Shut up," Ping Wei pushed him away.

He Zhou accepted it as soon as he saw it, sat up straight and began to pick up food for Ping Wei.

The three of them almost finished the meal in silence. Guan Yue ate the most. He tried his best to pick up food for himself. Wei Wei didn't eat much, although He Zhou kept putting the meat in his bowl, why didn't he accept it, and picked it out when he saw it.

As for He Zhou...he didn't eat much in the first place.

"I'm done," Guan Yue put down his chopsticks first, and looked up at Ping Wei.

Pingwei's face was still a little red, his eyes were erratic, and he seemed embarrassed to fall on Guan Yue, and he replied casually, "Well, are you going to the Yamen to interrogate You Buqing later?"

"Yes," Guan Yue said, "Where are Your Highness and Guard He?"

He seldom mentions He Zhou in this way, he probably tacitly agrees that He Zhou will stick to Ping Wei, and usually only mentions Ping Wei.

"Let's go to the port and see how the cargo ship is going to Nanling," said He Zhou with a deadpan expression.

"Well," Guan Yue replied, "Then I'll be leaving first."

He nodded at the two, got up and left.

Pingwei rarely waved at him.

"..." After seeing Guan Yue disappearing at the door, he turned his head to look at He Zhou, drove the man away from him, and said fiercely, "Have you finished eating?"

"Eat," He Zhou smiled and stood up, "I'll pay."

The people in the Fengdu yamen met Guan Yue for the second time today. Last night, this lord and several military officers tied up their Fu Yin to the yamen and called them in for interrogation. The adult who has been around for many years suddenly became a prisoner, and it seems to be related to the Donghu spies in Nanling.While they were at a loss, they were obedient to Guan Yue, lest the other party feel that they were also related to the Donghu people and become prisoners like You Buqing.

Fortunately, Guan Yue was very friendly, he was polite to them, and he was easy to talk to.These police officers were a little relieved, wanting to say that there is no need to be too nervous to formally interrogate Mr. You the next day, but they don't want to...

Today, Mr. Guan seemed to have taken explosives, his brows were tightly frowned, and there was a hint of impatience in his tone of voice.

What's the matter? A policeman cautiously went up to him and flattered him, "My lord, according to your order, we have been watching You Buqing since last night. He hasn't even touched a drop of water or closed his eyes."

If a person has not rested for a long time, his willpower will be weak, and his resistance to some questions will be reduced, which is beneficial for them to ask.

Hearing his words, Guan Yue's face turned slightly better, and he said, "Take me to see him."

In the prison, You Buqing took off his official uniform and changed into a prison uniform, which was stained with blood.

"Did you torture him?" Guan Yue asked.

The accompanying policeman was stunned for a moment, and quickly denied, "No, sir, didn't you let us do this?"

It seems that he was seriously injured in the fight with He Zhou last night, and he continued to vomit blood after arriving at the Yamen.

Guan Yue looked at You Buqing again, who was lying on the ground half dead, he kicked him, and said coldly, "You're not dead, are you?"

"Not dead..." You Buqing struggled to sit up and looked up at him, "That guy Xie Xu is still alive, how dare I die..."

Guan Yue smiled, "What's wrong with you, want to die behind him?"

"Um...."

"Then you must be disappointed, good people live long, Ping Wei will die anyway, and you..." Guan Yue looked him up, "I'm afraid you will go down to see King Yama in a while."

"Is he a good person? He harmed my mother..." You Buqing was agitated when he heard his words, and said with a sinister face.

"Okay," Guan Yue interrupted him, "You can just talk to yourself about those words, I'm not interested, let's talk about the business."

He lowered his head and glanced behind him, and the policeman brought him a chair in a timely manner. Guan Yue sat not far from You Buqing, and said in a deep voice, "Did you hire someone to rob the gunpowder that was going to be transported to the frontier?" of?"

When Ping Wei and He Zhou came to the pier, more than a dozen large ships were moored on the shore. There were several people on each ship carrying goods up and down, and several people were standing by the port, directing a newly arrived ship to dock. very busy.

"We want to find the person in charge here, is there any official in charge?" Ping Wei casually grabbed someone in the surrounding area and asked loudly.

"You mean Mr. Liu?" The man was pulled back suddenly, his brows frowned, a little impatient, he looked up at them, seeing that Ping Wei and He Zhou were both dressed with outstanding auras, he wondered where it might be An official came over to parallax, his face softened, and he said, "I'll take you to find him."

The three of them came to a hut, "He just came to inspect today, he may have gone out now, you wait here, I will look for it." The man said.

Ping Wei responded, and stood with He Zhou and waited patiently.

After about a stick of incense passed, a man of medium build and ordinary appearance appeared in front of them.

Ping Wei walked over, "You are that Master Liu?"

"It's me, who is your Excellency?" The other party looked at him inquiringly.

"Xie Xu," Ping Wei said, and He Zhou handed Master Liu an official document, which was the case file for handling the theft case in Fengdu this time.

Seeing the official document, Mr. Liu's face changed, and he immediately saluted him, saying, "My name is Liu Qi, and I am a ship officer in the port of Fengdu."

Ping Wei nodded, "I want to see the amount of military supplies that Xiafengdu transported to Nanling since September last year."

"You have to ask the Military Academy about this, right?" Liu Qi hesitated, "Generally, we will send as much military supplies as they make to Nanling."

"I've looked over at the Military Academy, but it's better to come here to confirm. After all, it was found out last night that officials from Feng You had a relationship with Nanling," Ping Wei was not satisfied with this answer. Insinuating that Liu Qi and the other officials who sealed the capital had an inner ghost, then glanced at He Zhou, and said indifferently, "Master Liu didn't bring the booklet recording the list of all the goods transported, He Zhou, you accompany him to get it. .”

As soon as he finished speaking, He Zhou walked towards Liu Qi.

Liu Qi took a step back, and took out a dilapidated notebook from his bosom, "No, no, I have it with me." He presented the notebook to He Zhou with both hands, "Your Highness, don't worry."

Seeing his cooperation, Ping Wei smiled gently, "It's good that Master Liu brought it here."

He didn't go to pick up the book, and let He Zhou look through it, and asked, "Do you check every box of military supplies sent to Nanling?"

"Normally we would send people to the Military Weapons Academy and watch them pack the supplies into boxes and deliver them," Liu Qi answered carefully.

That is, they will not check before sailing, Ping Wei nodded, and then asked, "It's like ordinary items, frozen fish or vegetables, etc., will you open the box for inspection?"

"Usually it's a random inspection, and a few soldiers will go to the cargo ship and open four or five boxes to check," Liu Qi said softly, with the piercing eyes on the opposite side.

"Does it only open the topmost box and ignore the bottom ones?" Ping Wei stared at him thoughtfully.

Liu Qi lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

"Answer me." Ping Wei said again.

"Yes....."

Liu Qi was a little depressed. He was dragged from the port for no reason. When he saw the newly promoted prince, the other party asked him to hand over the book recording the transportation of goods, and then alluded to the fact that they were not serious about the port. , the haughty attitude and tough attitude make him unavoidably dissatisfied—he is a third-rank official at any rate, and all the major merchants in Fengdu respect him very much on weekdays. They are afraid that they will offend him and the goods sent to Nanling will be detained. Down.

But today this thank you...

Is a prince from a folk background so arrogant?

Hearing his answer, Pingwei turned to look at He Zhou, "See if there are any frozen fresh fish among the goods shipped to Wanbaotang in the past two weeks."

"Have you met the boss of Wanbaotang?" Ping Wei finished speaking, and then looked at Master Liu who was opposite.

"I haven't seen it before," Liu Qi said.

"Has he ever had someone give you a present?"

Liu Qi paused, "Yes..."

"Is the quantity large? Same as other bosses?"

"Same," Liu Qi said bravely, "Did he commit any crime?"

At this time, He Zhou just found out the suspicious cargo record, "It was delivered on the night of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, and there were eight boxes of frozen fish in it. It is very likely that they also added the box containing the fire medicine," he said. Passed the booklet to Ping Wei, pointed to the content on it, and said in a low voice.

"The eighteenth day of the first lunar month...it is two days after the Shangyuan Festival," Ping Wei lowered his head in thought, so You Buqing may know that he is the prince, guessing that he may be sent by Emperor Chong to deal with the theft of huo medicine For one case, he urgently obtained two boxes of gunpowder from Nanling Xizuo, intending to attack him in his own territory.

"The person who signed for it that day was called Wu Qing," He Zhou said.

"This Wu Qing, did you come to the pier today?" Ping Wei immediately looked up at Master Liu, "We want to talk to him."

"Old Wu..." Liu Qi pondered for a while, "I have to look for it."

"We are with you," Ping Wei said.

"It is indeed the carriage I hired to rob," You Buqing said in the prison.

"The ten people in charge of the escort were also killed by you?"

"Ah."

"You also secretly sent the note with the names of ten of them to the Military Academy?" Guan Yue narrowed his eyes, "To imply that there is something wrong with our Military Academy?"

"Ah."

"How many people in the military academy have taken refuge with Donghu? What are their names?" Guan Yue approached step by step, looking at You Buqing sharply, but the other party seemed tired of answering, and lay down on the ground with his back turned to him loudly. I yawned.

Guan Yue glanced at the policeman standing outside, and the other party immediately stepped forward and beat Buqing downstream with a whip, "My lord is asking you something!"

You Buqing shook violently because of the pain, then was forced to turn to face Guan Yue, he said, "I can say, but... you have to let me kill Xie Xu."

"..." What time is this man still thinking about revenge? Shouldn't this kind of personal grievance be put aside before the righteousness of the family and the country? Guan Yue was speechless. , "You Buqing's home in Pingzhou, you know?"

"know."

"Where is his mother's grave, do you know?"

"Correct."

"I dug it up," Guan Yue said without hesitation, "Since he is so uncooperative, then his mother can't even think about getting peace after death, dig up the body, even if there are only bones left, I will burn it and throw it into the sea. "

"You!" You Buqing trembled suddenly, and his whole body was stimulated to jump up. He tremblingly walked towards him, as if he wanted to kill him.

Master Guan didn't show any emotion on his face, he didn't even express that the policeman next to him had already knocked You Buqing to the ground and held him firmly.

Guan Yue said, "If you tell me how many people in the Military Academy are Donghu's minions, I won't move your mother's grave, but if you don't tell me, what I just said will be fulfilled."

“…”

"Give me a pen and paper," You Buqing said, gritted his teeth and looked at the policeman.

"No," Guan Yue stopped, "You tell me, it's fine for him to memorize it."

A cup of tea time, the policeman wrote half a sheet of paper, and he handed it to Guan Yue, "So many," Guan Yue glanced, exhaled softly, and then glanced at You Buqing across the way, "These names can be charged with treason. Are they all true?"

"You'll know if you go and check," You Buqing shrugged, pretending to be careless, and said.

Guan Yue put the piece of paper away properly, "Well, if there is a mistake, or a person is missed, I will let your dead mother and brother live in the ground. By the way, your brother Yang Jun... ..do you know where it was buried?"

Last night, I heard Pingwei say that he buried the other party alive in the soil, and suddenly I was a little curious. This You Buqing...does he know where his brother died?

He looked at the other party curiously, You Buqing froze, his face suddenly clouded with gloom.

Guan Yue laughed, even though You Buqing didn't say anything, he already guessed what the answer would be, then he was really miserable, his brother died, and he didn't know where his body was, so there were no bones left.Guan Yue looked at him for a while, then said, "Speaking of business, who are the Donghu spies lurking in Daqi?"

You Buqing's complexion was very bad, and he said coldly, "I only know two, one named Su Yu and the other named Yang Zhirong, who opened a rouge shop in Nanling."

"Yang Zhirong?" The name sounds nice, Guan Yue asked, "The surname is Yang just like yours, so there won't be any special relationship?"

"No!" You Buqing said angrily, "I don't want to have anything to do with a spy from an enemy country."

His words didn't have much strength to refute, Guan Yue smirked, "Why doesn't it matter, didn't you give them our Daqi's gunpowder and connive at them trying to blow up Nanling?" Saying so, he suddenly remembered The other party is still the boss of Wanbaotang——later I have to ask him where the gunpowder that was once hidden in Wanbaotang went.

You Buqing turned his head, as if he was a little ashamed by what he said, he whispered, "That's why Xie Xu killed my mother..."

"Okay, anyway, you have a reason for doing bad things, and that is to avenge His Highness," Guan Yue urged impatiently after hearing the other party say "Xie Xu" three or four times after staying here for less than half an hour. He said, "Quickly tell me, how did you get in touch with those people? How did they secretly withhold some of the medicine in Nanling."
