Chapter 264 You really have a future (please vote for me)
The small hall was brightly lit.

The floor-to-ceiling wooden window panels were still removed, leaving only bamboo curtains hanging.

Seeing that his master was in a bad mood, the man quickly rolled up most of the hanging curtains, exposing the courtyard outside.

In an instant, the night wind rushed in with wet water vapor, and the floor was stained with a lot of water.

Jin Guiren had no expression on his face and sat directly on the floor.

He got up from the bed, wearing only a coat and no shoes or socks, leaving his feet bare.

His left leg was propped up and his right leg was bent. Judging from his posture, he looked relaxed, but his face looked serious and his brows were furrowed.

Just like the weather this night.

It looks like it's warm in late spring, but it's actually very windy and rainy.

Soon, Dao Heng arrived.

After glancing at Jin Guiren, he held the hem of his clothes with one hand and sat down with his knees bent.

It has been a long time since he left Guangde Temple. His hair has grown longer and he has changed out of his monk's robes, but his daily actions still occasionally reveal some of the monk's style.

Sitting on his knees like this, if he put on his cassock and pinched a string of Buddhist beads, he would look like an eminent monk.

Jin Guiren did not speak.

Dao Heng also knew something was wrong: "When I left, Liu Xun was the only one in the house."

"Then why is the prince there?" Jin Guiren's voice was cold and deep.

It was difficult for Dao Heng to answer because he was still not sure which part had the problem.

These days, Xu Jian has been checking very closely.

Just as the master said, Xu Jian has a very good nose.

If Xu Jian is asked to dig deeper around the house, he may dig out some troublesome things.

Therefore, the master decided to give the house to Xu Jian.

Dau Heng is that bait.

He deliberately appeared in the market to let Shuntian Mansion get clues and approach the house little by little.

According to the original plan, the Yamen found Liu Xun and took him back.

Whether Xu Jian was restrained by the Liu family and tried to find a way to deal with Liu Xun, or whether he simply beat his discordant brother to death regardless of the Liu family's intentions, he had to accept this "gift".

Shuntian Mansion checked the house according to their explicit arrangements, and Xu Jian made some innocuous discoveries at most.

This is tail docking.

After their tails were docked, they became lighter. It was also a benefit for Xu Jian to hold the docked tail.

The plan went well at first.

His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, went frequently in the past few days, and has been obedient these days and has not gone to the house again.

Listening to what the palace said, His Highness also said that he would return to the palace after leaving office today.

Dao Heng then walked around Chenmi Hutong.

Everything is settled at the house.

The nursing home was evacuated and the management was reduced, leaving some dancing girls who didn't know the inside story to deal with Liu Xun, and they drank alcohol with enough stamina that they would not wake up even if the earth shook...

And he left before nightfall.

The government officials guarding the entrance of the alley couldn't watch him.

Everything is going smooth.

Shuntian Mansion was dispatched, and Shan Shen also called the garrison yamen, and a group of people rushed into the house from the north and south sides.

But they discovered that besides Liu Xun, there was also a Crown Prince inside!
Dao Heng was doing other things at the time, and when he got the news, everyone was taken to Shuntian Mansion.

How could he say that he was ugly?

Not to mention why His Highness went suddenly, he didn't even know when His Highness went.

Jin Guiren raised his eyes and turned to look at Dao Heng: "I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to handle. Find out more about the situation in Shuntian Mansion and wait until daybreak. Let's see if Mr. Shan is sensible."

Shuntian Mansion is so busy inside and outside that it never touches the ground.

Tu Gui, the prime minister who stayed behind in the mansion, quickly came out to welcome him. He was shocked when he saw that the man who had returned looked very unhappy.

He asked Zhang Yuan in a low voice: "Did you let that monk run away?"

It doesn't look like this posture.

Those carriages coming back together can't be empty, right?

"I didn't find Dao Heng," Zhang Yuan said with a bitter face, "I found a fatal one."

Tu Gu was puzzled.

Until he saw Li Shao being carried in.

"This, this..." Tu Gui's eyes almost fell out, "How come His Highness was brought back by you? Could there be an assassin who kidnapped His Highness? Why didn't His Highness wake up!"

"Stop yelling," Shan Shen came up from behind and took off his wet bamboo hat, "find a doctor first. It will be troublesome if His Highness catches a cold."

Tu Gui glanced at the tired Shan Shen and did not ask further questions.

The master came close to Tu Gui and said in a low voice: "There are no monks in that house, only His Highness the Crown Prince, his dandy friends and their group of dancing girls and beauties."

Tugui:...

As expected of a master who has read thousands of books, one sentence is all it takes.

Tu Gui asked Shan Shen, "Sir, can I be an ordinary doctor? Are you going to call for help from Tai Hospital?"

"Please be strict with your mouth. Don't let the whole capital know that we have brought the prince back early tomorrow morning." Zhang Yuan wiped his face, "Sir, what are we going to do about this matter? Wait for His Highness to wake up and ask about the situation. Finally, can you pass it by as a cover? You can report it to the Holy Emperor privately, and there is no need to spread it to the whole court..."

Shan Shen waved his hand.

Zhang Yuan must have been busy before and didn't hear what he and Wantang said.

This is a trap. If you hide it, it will be even worse.

Who let His Highness the Crown Prince fall into trouble?

"Go find an imperial doctor." Shan Shen said.

The one on duty was An Yuanjing.

Hearing someone tell him about the situation, he didn't dare to delay and hurried to Shuntian Mansion.

Li Shao was placed in a room, covered with a quilt, and slept soundly.

An Yuan made a diagnosis and said: "There should be no serious health problems. It seems that the alcohol is too strong. Just wake up. I will prepare some ginger soup later. It will be cold tonight. I lay naked on the ground and blew it again." The wind also picked up some rain, so don’t get cold.”

After saying that, he went to see Liu Xun again and came to the same conclusion.

Shan Shen looked at Eunuch Shi with a stupefied expression.

Eunuch Shi didn't drink much and was not strong enough. He was pinched so hard by the yamen servant that when he woke up, he was still confused.

When I asked him what to say, he gave confusing answers, full of filthy words.

Shan Shen was so angry that he had someone take him out and throw him on the open ground where he was soaked in the rain for half a quarter of an hour.

Eunuch Shi woke up completely now and stood up screaming: "What bastard! Do you know who the Zajia is? How did the Zajia..."

Shan Shen asked him: "Then do you know where this is?"

Eunuch Shi looked at the sound.

The court hall is bright and has a plaque with the words "A bright mirror hangs high".

Eunuch Shi blinked and looked at the person standing under the plaque.

He still recognized Shuntian Fuyin's face.

So, is this really Shuntian Mansion?
Eunuch Shi shuddered and stumbled into the courtroom until he was in front of Shan Shen, leaving a long watermark behind him.

"Shan, Master Shan, why are the Za family here?" Eunuch Shi asked curiously, "Where is your highness?"

"I still remember Your Highness, you finally have some conscience." Shan Shen said coldly.

Eunuch Shi was quick to talk and immediately said: "The Za family will be loyal to His Highness..."

"Then you still let His Highness sleep with women in such a mess?" Shan Shen interrupted Eunuch Shi, "That room is a mess! If you don't want to live anymore, find a rope to hang yourself to death! You're still fucking harming others! I If you lose your black hat this time, all the ghosts will follow you! You will never grow that lifeline in your lifetime! I will chop it into pieces when it grows!"

Eunuch Shi didn't expect to receive such a beating. He was dumbfounded and could only instinctively cover his body with his hands.

Why do you want to chop it up again?

wrong!

Why chop him?
He is working for the prince, why should Shuntian Mansion be yelling at him!
Eunuch Shi came to his senses and pointed at Shan Shen to curse.Shan Shenli ignored it and asked directly: "Why did you go to the house in Chenmi Hutong? Have you been there before? What is the connection between Your Highness and that house? Why is Liu Xun here? Have you ever seen a monk there? Today What else happened at night? Please answer everything carefully! If you don't cooperate, I will hand you over to Eunuch Cao at dawn and let Eunuch Cao ask questions."

Eunuch Shi's arrogance was completely extinguished after hearing the three words "Eunuch Cao".

He had heard people say that if he fell into the hands of Eunuch Cao, he would not be able to live or die.

"His Highness wanted to go there, so he went."

"The Zajia followed His Highness after the Thank You Banquet. Before that, it was Eunuch Hu. As early as when he was serving His Highness, His Highness often went there."

"I heard that Mr. Liu introduced this place to His Highness. They are all clean dancers and thin horses. Your Highness can exchange one lot for another."

"I don't know what their background is. There used to be a lot of nursing homes, but today they all seemed to have taken shelter from the rain."

"They probably don't know His Highness's identity. His Highness has always been wearing a mask. His Highness has given him enough money. As long as they make money in this kind of business, they must know the rules and will not inquire about his identity."

"When we were at the Yamen, His Highness and Duke Fu were not very happy with each other's words. His Highness wanted to go and relax. When he arrived, he found that Mr. Liu was also there."

"I've never seen any monks, but I did send a group of young nuns once, and His Highness even praised them."

"Tonight is just like usual. I got drunk for some reason. When I woke up, I was here."

"Hey, where is His Highness? The Za family still has to serve His Highness!"

On the side, the master kept writing and writing while looking at Shan Shen who was rubbing his temples.

The eunuch answered with a hammer here and there, and at least he explained the matter roughly.

No matter how much, it is obviously impossible to ask.

Shan Shen was used to asking questions: "Why was it replaced by you after the thank-you banquet? Where is Eunuch Hu?"

Eunuch Shi had no choice but to talk about the exchange of tribute wine.

Shan Shen: ...

What did he do to ask more questions?
Is this something he can inquire about casually?
Didn't you see that there was no sound at all outside?
The tribute wine at the thank-you banquet was all wiped out. Not to mention the court, even in the imperial city, except for the few people present at the time, there was probably no news at all.

The Holy Spirit's attitude is clear.

But unfortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince ended up in Shuntian Mansion this time.

It may still be a situation that cannot be concealed.

This time it was really fatal.

After taking Eunuch Shi down, Shan Shen asked the dancers who had woken up and the guardian who had been caught by the garrison.

They all asked questions and didn't know anything, and there were no clues at all.

Seeing that it was stuck, Wantang quickly came in.

"I did a simple search but didn't find anything. It's inconvenient at night, so I'll wait until daybreak before going," he said angrily, "What did you ask here?"

The master handed the written confession to Wantang.

The more you look at Wantang, the deeper the word "chuan" between your eyebrows becomes, almost becoming a ravine.

"Why did you exchange tribute wine?" Wantang cursed, "Your Highness is really..."

Shan Shen turned to look at his master and asked with his eyes: Why did you write this down?

Master is also bitter.

Of course, he would record whatever confessions he had made, and only delete them when he compiled them into a case file.

Shan Shen looked at Wantang again, okay, if you have too many debts, you don’t have to worry, if you have too many lice, you don’t need to itch.

He and Commander Wan knew more and less, but they were almost the same.

After Wantang finished reading, he asked: "Are Your Highness and Liu Xun awake?"

"His Royal Highness is not awake, Judge An is watching," Shan Shen said, "Liu Xun woke up once, drank ginger soup in a vague way, and passed out again."

Wantang's mouth twitched.

Still drinking ginger soup?

Which of these people was not soaked to the skin?

"You Shuntian Mansion is too polite in doing things," Wantang handed the confession back to the master and urged him to lead the way, "Our guarding yamen will not be used to it."

As the master walked away, he said: "After all, he is the son of the Minister of Honglu Temple..."

"So what?" Wantang didn't care, "The Holy One has the final say on how to punish His Highness, but this Liu Xun, I think he is hopeless. He was the one who brought His Highness to that house to play with women, right? Look, the Holy One will chop him down If you don't kill him! Mr. Liu won't be able to keep his official title, and he will most likely have to go with him to take the examination at the Palace of Hell."

After entering the room where Liu Xun was placed, Wantang directly lifted him out of bed.

Liu Xun's clothes were put on by the yamen servants. They were loose and not worn properly. When the collar was lifted, he almost slipped out of the clothes.

Wantang cursed, grabbed Liu Xun's arm, dragged him out, and threw him into the rain.

It didn't take half a quarter of an hour for Liu Xun to wake up.

Dazed and stupid, looking around.

He didn't know Wantang, but he knew Shan Shen and Zhang Yuan. He had been to the back office of Shuntian Prefecture before.

"Are you awake?" Wantang said, "Take Your Highness to sleep with a woman. You really have a future."

Zhang Yuan didn't understand and asked the master in a low voice: "What's the future?"

It doesn't matter if the master is smiling or not smiling: "Eighteen years later, there will be another good man's future."

Zhang Yuan: ...

Still 18 years old.

Liu Xun, a stinky boy, will never survive this life!

When Liu Xun finally understood the situation, he collapsed on the ground, unable to get up at all.

That house was so safe, how could it be searched by Shuntian Mansion?
There are so many nursing homes, why is there no resistance at all?
They didn't drink too much, but if there was some noise up front that alerted them, they could pack up and run away.

Rather than being caught red-handed.

"I, I..." Liu Xun stammered, "I don't, I'm not..."

Shan Shen asked directly: "When did you know about that place? And when did you take His Highness there?"

Just as Liu Xun was about to answer, Li Shao woke up in the room next to him.

A group of people left Liu Xun and went to see Li Shao.

Li Shao's face was gloomy, and his heart beat faster immediately after he figured out the cause and effect.

Those things about him will be known to his father again.

are you afraid?

Li Shao was undoubtedly scared.

But at the same time, the feeling that he had experienced before emerged again, and the exciting sense of accomplishment of being able to escape unharmed enveloped him.

After glancing at Shan Shen and others, Li Shao staggered out of bed: "Get out of the way."

Shan Shen said: "Your Highness, I haven't figured out the matter about the house yet."

"Then you keep doing it. Isn't it enough to capture so many people?" Li Shao said, "I want to go back to freshen up and change my clothes."

Shan Shen didn't want to give in: "Dao Heng is involved, so the matter is serious..."

"Are you afraid that I will run away?" Li Shao said, "I am the crown prince, and my father is in the palace. Am I still running away?"

Wantang looked at Li Shao, with veins twitching in his forehead. He stretched out his hand to stop him, but was stopped by Shan Shen.

Li Shao walked out quickly.

When he passed by Liu Xun, he didn't even look at him.

The rain was pouring down, making him feel chilly, but the excitement in his heart made him feel hot all over.

Under the rain, Li Shao's footsteps became much steadier.

Exciting, he thought, this is exciting.

However, he also had to think of ways to appease his father.

Let's discuss it with uncle first.

"Give me a horse." Li Shao said.

Zhang Yuan trotted out and signaled to the Yamen servant to give it to him.

Li Shao got on his horse and galloped away. The two guards followed him and escorted him until they saw him knocking on the door of Prince Jin's Mansion and he breathed a sigh of relief.
