Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 1015 Please enlighten me 2.0
Ah Piao saw Master Hei's serious face, raised his eyebrows slightly, it seems that this person also has a story!
"My lord, have you suffered from this? Why don't you tell me about it?"

"If you don't tell me, I want to tell you too. If you listen to it, it's a lesson learned. Don't follow my old path."

"It seems that this time I left a deep impression on the adults, otherwise I wouldn't be able to remember it for so long, right?"

"It's not too long. As far as what happened a few years ago, it was the first time I was ordered by His Highness to investigate an elder of the Wanyan family. That elder has an important position in the clan and is very important. He is majestic, and what he says is more useful than previous kings."

"I remember now." Ah Piao thought for a moment, then clapped his hands lightly, "Is that the one? Mr. Wanyan Panxi?"

"That's right, it's his old man." Lord Hei nodded, "That old gentleman has always looked down on the late king and His Highness, and has spoken ill of the late King and His Highness in secret. His Highness has always been patient with him, After all, the age is there, the seniority is there, no matter what they say, these juniors can only listen to them for a long time, right?"

"Yes, it's just that he shouldn't mention His Highness's biological mother, because he mentioned His Highness's mother, which really angered His Highness."

"Yes, it is for this reason that His Highness sent me to investigate him, not only to investigate him, but also his in-laws, old friends, and disciples. You also know that the old man also led the army when he was young. , Those who have been on the battlefield, although later they got old and handed over the military power in their hands, but there are still private soldiers in his house, and the capabilities of this private soldier are much more powerful than the one he handed over."

"I've also heard from His Highness that he not only has private soldiers, but also some desperadoes in the mansion, right? Specially helping him with those unsightly things." Ah Piao recalled it seriously "Wait a minute, I remember that old man never lived in Yiqing Mansion, did he? He's always been in his fief, right?" Seeing Master Hei nodding, she raised her eyebrows slightly, "That's right. Are you in the jaws of a sheep?"

"Almost!" Master Hei smiled wryly, "It's worse than a sheep being caught in a tiger's mouth. On the first day I left Beijing, I received the news over there."

"Your whereabouts are under the surveillance of the other party?" Ah Piao frowned slightly, "Didn't you notice?"

"How could it not have been discovered? Although this general is not a professional spy, he is still very keen. He naturally noticed that someone was following him." Master Hei raised his eyebrows proudly, "I found a chance, so I made a disguise and got rid of it." I stopped my stalking and quietly entered the territory of Qixia Mansion. After entering, I was not in a hurry to inquire about anything, but I found an inconspicuous inn to stay in, and went out for a walk every day to see the customs of Qixia Mansion Let's see what the people here think of the former king and His Highness."

"You come in and out, no one notices something wrong with you, no one suspects you?"

"Of course I doubt it." Master Hei sighed softly, "This is the first mistake I made, do you know what it is?" He looked at A Piao, "Say it boldly, I made a mistake does not matter."

"Hmm..." Ah Piao thought for a while, "I can only say that based on the rumors I heard, the prestige of the old man Panxi in Qixia Mansion far exceeds that of the late king and His Highness, and the local people obey his words , His old man’s words are more effective than the edicts of the former king and His Highness. Your lord has just arrived, he is a new face, they are vigilant, and you are sneaky, so they will naturally follow you. Moreover, you just left Beijing I was followed by others, after pondering over the two things, don't you know who you are? You think that you have not shown any traces, but in fact, people have long been familiar with your situation."

"That's right, this is the first mistake I made, especially self-righteous." Master Hei smiled wryly, "I thought no one would find out, so I asked around about the situation of the old man, and even wandered around the palace many times to inquire about it. People's situation. Now that I think about it, my behavior back then was as stupid as I wanted to be."

"and after?"

"Or else the old man is a scheming old fox who can calculate people's hearts. He didn't embarrass me, but told me what I wanted to know through different people and channels. I went back to Beijing vigorously, and went to meet with His Highness." Lord Hei sighed softly, "So, I made a second mistake."

"What is it?" Ah Piao frowned slightly, "There are mistakes in those news?"

"Half-truth, half-false." Master Hei smiled wryly again, "The real part is here to confuse me, and the fake part is just for setting up a trap."

"So, Your Highness believed this half-truth and half-false news?"

"How could Your Highness believe it? When she sent me to investigate, she also sent several other people. They are very experienced and would not make mistakes like mine. It is because of the news they sent that they responded to me in a timely manner. The news brought back was remedied, so that no irreversible disaster happened, and His Highness was not deceived. If His Highness did not send other people and completely believed me, then the consequences would be unimaginable. Perhaps, the palace we are in may have died a long time ago. It has changed hands."

"This is a big blow to Mr. Hei?" A Piao looked at him, "You were scolded by His Highness?"

"Your Highness didn't scold me, but just told me, don't let your emotions affect you, don't believe too much in what you see and hear, you have to speculate and verify repeatedly." Lord Hei sighed softly, "Also, there is another very important point."

"What is it?"

"Be skeptical about everything and everyone."
