After the prince enters the play

Hu Siyi held the handkerchief tightly in his hand calmly, the emperor looked at the prince as if nothing happened and said: "The granary robbery case, we must not slack off this time, we must investigate thoroughly."

Yan Junchu lowered his eyes slightly, nodded and said: "Father, if we make a thorough investigation with great fanfare, I'm afraid the result will still be the same as last time."

Didn't the court send someone to investigate last time?
Sent.

But what about the result?
Looking at what Su Yi and Chen Boyan brought back, and comparing it with the handouts sent back by the ministers sent by the imperial court, it is a world of difference.

The emperor said with a sullen face, "Do you have someone to recommend?"

Yan Junchu said in a deep voice: "I do have one person to recommend, and that is Shang Junyan, the household doctor."

The emperor thought for a while, then remembered who Shang Junyan was, and said with some surprise: "Why would you recommend him?"

"Father, the last time the sons and ministers led the army to go out, Lord Shang was in charge of the money and food in the Northwest Road. There was no mistake in the calculation of the money and food for the army, and there was no delay in the follow-up food and grass. It can be seen that Lord Shang is indeed capable. It's just that he He is still young, and he was born in the Pingjing County Prince's Mansion, so everyone thinks that he relies on his family to be an official, but this is not the case. This time, the minister recommended Shang Junyan precisely because he had a clear plan for money and food last time. The first investigation into the case of the robbery of the granary happened to be the director."

The emperor frowned slightly, thought for a while and said: "I think about it again, this matter is of great importance, you go down first."

Shang Junyan bowed to salute, "My son will leave."

Su Yi and Chen Boyan also bowed and retired.

The emperor waved his hand, and after everyone left, Hu Siyi turned pale, suppressed the panic in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the imperial physician to diagnose your pulse."

The emperor glanced at Hu Siyi, "What a fuss, burn the handkerchief."

Hu Siyi wanted to persuade him again, but seeing His Majesty's eyes, he swallowed his words abruptly, turned around and went to the waiter, and sent out all the servants. This time, he took out the handkerchief and threw it into the white clay stove. The pot was burned to a mass of ashes, and the ashes were scattered with tongs, and a few carbon stones were pressed on it, and then the copper pot was put on it.

Hu Siyi's face was full of melancholy, His Majesty didn't pay much attention to his body now, even though he just coughed up a few streaks of blood, he was still very worried, but His Majesty didn't care.

Hu Siyi went out full of thoughts, and entered Zichen Hall, seeing His Majesty reviewing papers again, he sighed in his heart, His Majesty is really too diligent.

Duke Qi's mansion was busy right now. Su Deng and Su Li were very happy to see Su Xinyi. They were pale and thin, but in good spirits. When Su Xinyi arrived, they were telling the old man what they had seen along the way.

When Su Xinyi arrived with King Rong, the old man hurriedly got up to greet him.

King Rong hurriedly took a step forward, "Old Duke, I just came to join in the fun today, you don't need to be polite, just treat me as a junior."

The old man didn't dare to treat King Rong as a junior, he smiled and asked King Rong to sit down, but looked at his granddaughter.

The corners of Su Xinyi's mouth twitched, and he said to his grandfather with a smile: "I heard that the two cousins ​​are back, and I was just about to come back to have a look. The knowledge and experience came together."

The old man didn't believe a word of this, but when his granddaughter said so, he took it seriously, and said: "In this case, let your two cousins ​​invite the prince to sit in the front study. My old bone Just procrastinate, and please don't blame the prince."

King Rong hurriedly jumped up, "Old Duke, don't say that, it's this king who disturbed your rest, then you should rest well, I'll go ahead and talk to them."

King Rong didn't dare to be self-willed in Su Xinyi's territory, and he respected the old man, so he hurried down the donkey and took people to the front study.

Su Xinyi took a step behind, and waited for King Rong and the others to leave before saying to his grandfather, "My lord heard that Mu Xing was injured, and he was curious about what was going on, so he decided to come and see. Don't worry, grandpa, it's nothing serious."

The old man looked at his granddaughter and said: "You just need to know it in your heart. This time they encountered an ambush on the way back. It shouldn't be a simple matter. Don't take it too lightly."

"Yes, I listened to my grandfather. I must listen carefully to what Mu Xing said later, and find out the matter clearly." Su Xinyi said hastily.

"Then hurry up, it's getting late, and you have to go back to the East Palace, it shouldn't be too late."

"Yes." Su Xinyi helped the old man into the inner room, settled him down, and then went to the front.

When she arrived, the first few elders in the family had come to say hello to King Rong, and King Rong was much more comfortable facing them, talking with a smile, seeing Su Xinyi coming in, he straightened his body immediately, and the smile on his face was restrained A few points.

Crowd: ...

Su Xinyi pretended not to see it, and greeted his uncle, second uncle, and third uncle first. Before Mu Xing came over, Su Xinyi took the opportunity to meet and say hello to his grandmother and mother, and then turned back.

When she came back, several elder brothers also arrived. Mu Xing's arms were wrapped in a thick white cloth, and his face was also very pale. It seemed that he was not in a good condition.

Everyone saw Li and sat down separately, looking at each other, for a moment they didn't know who would speak first.

Su Xinyi glanced at King Rong.

Rong Wang's skin tightened, and he said immediately: "Don't be so nervous, everyone, just come to ask Mu Xing what's going on, why did he get injured when he was fine?"

When King Rong opened his mouth, everyone relaxed slightly, and heard King Rong say again: "I said, Mu Xing, you are not bad at it. Back then, you were even able to draw with Su Xinyi. Who can hurt you? This injury is in the Injured inside Guan?"

Mu Xing glanced at the princess first, and then said: "Yes, the caravan borrowed the road from Duogan to return to the country, and the journey was very safe, but after passing through Licheng, the subordinates were raided at night while keeping watch. It's amazing, and there are more than a dozen of them, and the subordinates are outnumbered, which is why they lost the lottery. Fortunately, the two young masters came in time, otherwise the subordinates may have to confess where they are."

"Licheng?" Su Xinyi felt that the place name was a bit familiar.

King Rong glanced at Su Xinyi, and said with a bit of complacency, "You don't know that, do you? Licheng is not far from Huaining, and if you go further, you will reach Suizhou."

Back then when he led a caravan to raise food, he knew the prefectures and counties in that area very well.

Su Xinyi remembered it, she had scanned it when she was looking at the map before, so she felt familiar, but she didn't remember it for a while, because she was not familiar with Licheng.

Now that Rong Wang said so, it is not the right number.

Su Xinyi didn't bother to pay attention to the childish ghost Rong Wang, looked at Su Deng and asked, "Brother, do you have any grudges with others in Licheng?"

Su Deng shook his head, "No, it's the first time Su Li and I have come to Licheng, and we haven't had any grudges with anyone."

Third Master Su looked at a few people and asked, "What kind of grudge does Huaining's hometown have with Licheng?"

Su Li shook his head, "As far as I know, not."

"Then it's not because Mu Xing was injured in the Su family. If it wasn't a personal grudge, he might have targeted the caravan." Second Master Su frowned. "It's just news about the caravan. How did it get out?"

When King Rong heard this and looked around, he asked, "Where are Sheng Siming and Pang Lan?"

Su Xinyi listened to King Rong asking about the two of them, only then did she realize that Cao Qing hadn't been seen either, so she looked at the two cousins.

Su Deng said: "The caravan brought back some rare treasures for His Majesty first, and they took people to arrange things."

This is as it should be.

Su Xinyi thought that this was probably Pang Lan's idea, and with the behavior of King Rong and his subordinates, it was unlikely that he would be able to think of offering treasures to His Majesty.

King Rong was really surprised, "You guys actually prepared these?"

Su Deng said without changing his expression, "Your Majesty, after all, you are doing business under His Majesty's order. Now that you have returned to the capital, the caravan will naturally have to make a statement."

King Rong: ...

To be able to speak so frankly about bribing the head of a country is indeed Su Xinyi's cousin, with a thick skin.

Su Xinyi didn't want the king to babble endlessly on this kind of matter, so he glanced at him and said, "My lord has any opinions?"

King Rong: Don't dare!
"Let's get down to business." King Rong immediately changed the subject, Su Xinyi couldn't afford to provoke him, but now he was in the old nest of the Su family, who else could he provoke?
No one can be provoked.

Everyone pretended not to see King Rong's strange expression, and immediately cooperated with him to change the subject.

Su Li coughed lightly, and then continued the previous topic: "If it's for the caravan, it means that there are spies in the caravan. If there are no spies, then the enemy has been watching the caravan's whereabouts, but this point There is also something that doesn't make sense, how did they know that we will return from Dogan."

Su Deng glanced at Mu Xing, "Mu Xing led people on duty that night. Those people obviously wanted Mu Xing's life, but Mu Xing told us that he didn't know the person who attacked him."

Third Master Su looked at Mu Xing, "Think about it carefully, if it's not a personal grudge, then this matter is very serious."

If the caravan wasn't except for traitors, it would be even more serious, which means that the people who stared at them were very capable. When they were hunted down outside the pass, and they made a detour all the way back to the country, I'm afraid they were not sure about the route they were going. Change at any time, under such circumstances the enemy can still attack, which has to be thought-provoking.

Mu Xing said very seriously: "I don't know the people who made the sneak attack, but judging from their tone of voice, they don't look like locals from the capital or Licheng, and their moves are very similar. They should be taught by the same person, or It’s a faction of kung fu learned.”

Everyone didn't have a clue for a while, so King Rong asked, "Did you catch anyone alive?"

The gazes of Su Deng and the others were suddenly speechless, and Su Li said, "There are no survivors, except for those who escaped, the rest are all dead."

"How did you die?" Su Xinyi asked immediately.

"Either they committed suicide with a knife while they were able to move their hands and feet, or they died of poisoning by biting a poison bag in their mouth. Obviously, they didn't intend to keep alive." Su Li's expression was not good-looking. This kind of thing had a great impact on him, and it still feels a little abnormal to mention it now.

Anyway, who would the average person do such a crazy thing?
"Dead man?"

Su Xinyi's voice overlapped with that of King Rong.

Third Master Su obviously also thought of this, "Could you be with the people from the hunting ground back then?"

"What's the matter with the hunting ground?" Su Deng asked immediately.

Second Master Su briefly explained what was going on in the hunting ground, and Su Deng and the others looked a little unsightly.

At this time, Mu Xing said: "Crown Princess, have you ever seen that guard in the hunting ground make a move?"

If they were from the same group, there might be similarities in their moves.

Su Xinyi shook his head, "No, that man was King Xiang's bodyguard, he was taken away for interrogation, and then committed suicide."

It's hard to say.

King Rong looked at Su Xinyi, "It's not possible, maybe it's just a coincidence."

Su Xinyi glanced at King Rong, thinking that if it was a coincidence, there would inevitably be too many coincidences in the recent intersection with Suizhou.

"That is to say, now no one knows who instigated the person who hurt Mu Xing, and they can't be sure whether it has anything to do with the incident at the hunting ground." Uncle Su said with a serious face, "The two incidents are nearly a thousand miles apart. It’s not like there should be an intersection.”

"Brother, you're right. Normally there shouldn't be any intersection, but when things go wrong, there must be monsters. We should be careful." Su Sanye said in a deep voice. He has a different temperament from the two elder brothers. Peace is the most important thing, and the second brother is gentle and rarely turns against others. Both of them have an attitude of not violating the river.

But he was different. He keenly felt that the Crown Princess should be suspicious, so he looked at the Crown Princess.

Sensing Uncle San's gaze, Su Xinyi raised her head and looked at him. Feeling Uncle San's silent inquiry, she fell silent and shook her head slightly.

The third master knew that it was hard to say now, so he looked away.

Things that are hard to say, either involve too much, or don't know much, and he is more inclined to the latter.

If you think about it this way, things will work out. If the princess knew the truth, she wouldn't make guesses here.

So, is the dead man in the hunting ground the same group as the one who attacked Mu Xing?

The third master's mind suddenly turned, if so?
So what is the purpose?
The dead body placed next to King Xiang, King Xiang was forced to enter into a marriage contract with You Xiangruo. This incident also involved Xu Yurong who was expelled from the Andinghou Mansion, and Princess Runyi and Fu Yun who were interrogated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice... …

Standing behind Princess Runyi is the Empress Empress. The Empress Empress and His Royal Highness Rong Wang are now closely related to the East Palace and are very harmonious. It doesn't look like they are behind the scenes.

Therefore, Yan Qiongsi was much less suspicious.

There was only one Fu Yun left. It was no problem after the Ministry of Criminal Justice checked it. No wonder Xin Yi asked the family to check it again. It was true that nothing was found later, but because nothing was found, it made him feel abnormal.

When a person grows up, all kinds of things will happen. The news from Fuyun is mostly about her being filial to her elders and being friendly to her neighbors. Can a person really be so good?

The third master made up his mind to go and investigate it himself, if he didn't do it himself, he would always feel uneasy.

The matter was almost finished, Su Xinyi said goodbye to King Rong, before leaving, Su Xinyi was invited by the third master to talk aside, after hearing what the third uncle said, Su Xinyi was very surprised, "Third uncle, do you want to go there in person? "

The third master nodded cautiously, "If the surprise attack on Mu Xing this time is really related to the hunting ground, except for Xu Yurong who has escaped and disappeared, only Yan Qiongsi and Fu Yun are left to be suspected. Now Yan Qiongsi is unlikely. , then only Fu Yun is left, and the two checks Fuyun sent back were all praises for her, now that I think about it, it’s very unreasonable, I really don’t feel at ease if I don’t go there myself.”

Su Xinyi herself had a lot of doubts about Fu Yun, but she didn't find anything after several times. Now that she heard what Sanbo said, she thought for a while and said, "If Sanbo is going, you must be careful. Let's check several times. Over there, the news should have been passed back a long time ago, if there is really someone behind Fu Yun, you must be careful if you go again."

"Okay, Sanbo knows, you should go back earlier. Now being a princess is not like the usual daughter-in-law of a Xungui family is relaxed and at ease. The empress promised you to come back, and you can't go back to the palace too late." The third master smiled. A few words of advice, "If you encounter something in the palace, you must tell your family, don't look forward and backward."

Su Xinyi responded with a smile.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Su Xinyi and King Rong left.

Seeing the carriage going away, Mu Xing also took his leave. He has a place to live in the capital, and there is also a letter that Tian Zao and Bao Datong entrusted him to deliver to Zeng Liang, which he has to deliver.

Su Li was not at ease, looked at Mu Xing and said with a smile: "I've heard Sixth Sister mention Zeng Liang's name a long time ago, I wonder if you can let me visit once or twice?"

Mu Xing glanced at Su Li, knowing what he wanted to do, he originally wanted to refuse, but if Su Xinyi found out, he would definitely mock him for being hypocritical, so he nodded silently.

Su Li followed naturally, waved to everyone, and left with Mu Xing.

Third Master Su looked at Su Bei and the others, and said hello, "You guys come with me."

Su Bei, Su Chu and Su Ju followed suit. Uncle Su and Second Master Su looked at each other, and then went back to each courtyard. Su Deng was relieved, he was left alone, and he was at ease.

However, he didn't rest, but went to Su Yi's study and waited for him to come back. He still has some things to confront Su Yi.

After Su Xinyi went back, he first went to Yuanhui Palace to report to the queen, and then returned to the East Palace. After going back, the prince also arrived.

When the two couples got together, they both had a lot to say. Su Xinyi was thinking about his elder brother, so he asked the prince first, "Your Highness, how is my elder brother?"

Yan Junchu nodded, "Although he is darker and thinner, he has gained a lot from this trip, which will be good for him in the future."

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, as long as people are safe."

Yan Junchu asked, "How is Mu Xing?"

"Your Highness also knows?" Su Xinyi asked back.

"Before I talked to Big Brother and the others in front of the imperial court, I only found out after I came out. It's just that it's not convenient to go to the Duke's Mansion. After all, the goal is too big and it's easy to attract attention." Yan Junchu said helplessly, "What's going on?"

Su Xinyi explained the matter carefully, and finally expressed his doubts, "Sanbo said that he would go to Ding'anwei in person. I always have a very strange feeling, but I can't tell what's wrong. .”

Su Xinyi always felt that she had forgotten something, but the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't remember it, and she couldn't help feeling a little irritable.
