Yan Cigui.

Liu Xun sat in the room for a long time.

He knew that Shan Shen and the others were in court and had no time to interrogate him, so they simply locked him up.

However, the people in the yamen were polite and gave him a set of clean clothes to change out of his rain-soaked coat.

Ginger tea was also given, and some noodles were prepared for him to fill his stomach.

Apart from the fact that the guard was like a wooden man and didn't respond to any questions, Liu Xun thought that it was quite relaxing for him to be locked up.

So relaxing that it's boring.

This reminded him of the situation when he was here last year.

It's like, there's really no difference.

It seems that when Shan Shen and the others return to the Yamen, their father will be able to come and take him out together.

After all, no matter how bad things get, His Royal Highness will still be there to take care of it.

He had heard just now that the prince had already left Shuntian Mansion, and Master Shan did not even dare to stop him.

This time is enough for the prince to meet with the Holy Emperor and smooth things over, right?
Although the scene when he was brought back last night was indeed not good-looking. Liu Xun was drunk and didn't know it, but he heard Master Shan's curse later.

Zuo is just disheveled and sleeping with the dancers.

Not all of them were done by him, but many of them were the work of the prince.

Besides, these are the only things that happen on the happy stage, and they are not unusual.

Liu Xun thought a lot, and gradually comforted himself, and naturally became much calmer.

Until he met Xu Jian.

The gatekeeper pushed open the door.

Liu Xun didn't see Liu Jing at a glance, but only saw Xu Jian's indifferent expression.

The psychological comfort, the stability and calmness that had been established not long ago were instantly shattered into powder when meeting those eyes that were so deep that no emotion could be seen.

Fear and fear spewed out from the powder as high as a mountain, and the powder flew into the air. Liu Xun covered his mouth and coughed heavily.

He hates Xu Jian.

Just looking at Xu Jian, I knew something was up.

See, even his voice knows it.

Shan Shen also came in, looking at Liu Xun with a cold face, his face turned red and his neck was thick.

After a long time, Liu Xun finally recovered and leaned against the wall to catch his breath.

Shan Shen glanced at Xu Jian.

This Bodhisattva was still in his old habit and had no intention of asking questions.

The leadership still lies with Shan Shen.

Master Shan was sure that Xu Jian didn't want to talk much, so he didn't waste time: "Come on, are you awake? Who introduced you to Chenmi Hutong? Who have you met there these days? [-] Ten said.”

Liu Xun couldn't explain it clearly, so he just scratched his head and asked, "Where is my father?"

Master Shan thought of Liu Jing's expression when he heard about this, and saw that Liu Xun was so unclear, so he sighed: "What? Let him answer? Does he have anything to do with this? Do you and your son want to end it together?"

Liu Xun was anxious.

Why is it over?
Isn’t there still His Highness the Crown Prince?

When people are in a hurry, they don't keep their mouth tight. These two words were spoken softly, but everyone in the room could hear them.

"Prince?" Shan Shen said, "There is no trace of the prince. Do you want to tell me where he can go?"

At this moment, Li Shao is still in Yongji Palace.

Yongji Palace is not within the palace walls. It is located to the north of the palace city. It was built by an emperor in the previous dynasty to provide care for the empress dowager in her old age. As times changed, it also housed an abdicated emperor and his wives and concubines.

When the construction of this dynasty started, the place was much deserted. Several emperors made simple repairs one after another, and no one would come here on weekdays.

Later, the late emperor imprisoned his third son Li Jun, who had made mistakes, here.

This became Li Jun's "territory".

However, the place where Li Jun can move is very limited, only in a palace on the west side of Yongji Palace.

Accompanying him on a daily basis are his wife and two concubines. The rest of the palace maids, mamas, and eunuchs are called taking care of him, but they are actually monitoring him.

This was Li Shao's first time back to Yongji Palace.

As soon as he stepped in, he felt regretful.

Even the second uncle is afraid of his father's anger. How can the imprisoned third uncle not be afraid?

If he is afraid, Li Jun will be of no use to Li Shao.

If he wasn't afraid, what would be Li Jun's attitude?

The elder brother who failed to seize the throne faced the younger brother who succeeded in becoming emperor. He made sarcastic remarks and made harsh remarks, adding fuel to the fire.

Wasn't it Li Shao who was burned in the end?
If it were him, he would probably laugh three times when he heard that his enemy's son was in trouble, right?
Then why should he come to Li Jun's house to send jokes to him?

Thinking like this, Li Shao wanted to leave, but the eunuch guarding him saw him with sharp eyes and hurriedly came up to salute and say hello.

His attitude was respectful, ingratiating and even a bit flattering.

Li Shao couldn't help but look at the eunuch twice.

After waking up, Shuntian Mansion and the garrison Yamen first chased him to question him. Shan Shen and the others clearly did not dare to neglect him, and their tone was respectful, but they did not show such respect.

After going to Jin Prince's Mansion and not getting a good word from his second uncle, Li Shao felt even more unhappy.

There was anger in his stomach, and when he suddenly saw such a chamberlain, he immediately felt that this person was quite pleasing to the eye.

This is the attitude that other people should have when facing him, the crown prince.

"What's your name?" he asked.

The chamberlain said: "The younger one's surname is Wang, and everyone calls him Little Gouzi."

Li Shao laughed heartily: "Gouzi, what is my third uncle doing?"

Wang Gouzi reported: "I'll do some boxing after getting up in the morning, and then read a book after breakfast. I won't do any boxing because of the heavy rain today. I'll rest in the inner hall."

Li Shao asked what, Wang Gouzi answered.

This attitude made Li Shao very satisfied.

Also, what kind of future and fortune can be gained by working in Yongji Palace?Can't we try to find a way out?

And as a prince, he could promote individuals with just one sentence.

"Your Highness," Wang Gouzi asked with a smile, "Would you like to see him?"

Li Shao had already given up his thoughts, but after a compliment, he became interested again.

"See you, why don't you see me?" he said, striding inside.

According to common sense, Li Jun was imprisoned here, and no one could see anyone without the Holy Emperor's handwriting.

Not mentioning Wang Gouzi, Li Shao went to see Li Jun without even thinking about it.

Li Jun was flipping through the chess book when he heard the movement and looked up at the person coming.

The two sides faced each other, both looking at each other.

"Isn't this His Highness the Crown Prince?" Li Jun raised his eyebrows after a long while, "I almost didn't recognize him when I grew up."

Li Shao has also met Li Jun. He was four or five years old when he last saw him. He doesn't remember what Li Jun looks like at all. At this moment, he is just observing randomly, and he can barely find some traces of his father and uncle from Li Jun's facial features. Uncle look.

They are brothers after all.

Li Jun put down the chess game, but showed no intention of getting up: "Why are you here? Did your father ask you to come? Or is it that he can't do it at his age? You are about to ascend the throne. Do you think there is still me here?"

This was said with bad intentions.

"Father is in good health." Li Shao shot back.

Li Jun asked again: "Then why are you here? Aren't you going to go to the morning court at this hour? You can't just cause trouble and have nowhere to hide. Are you thinking of hiding here from me?"

Li Shao was speechless.

He had changed his mind. He would not tell Li Jun what happened, but would just come in and take a look, not giving Li Jun a chance to laugh at him and his father.

But he didn't expect that Li Jun would talk like this.

Li Jun could see through Li Shao's thoughts almost at a glance.

He had planned a lot and worked step by step, and he was only one step away from achieving what he wanted. How could his fortitude and acumen be compared to that of young Li Shao?
Although I don't know exactly what happened to Li Shao, I can figure out the general situation once I figure it out.

"Why are you hiding here from me?" Li Jun's voice was lowered and deep, "Yongji Palace is a place for people like me who have made big mistakes. You deserve to come here for your little troubles." Escape from disaster?"

After a few words, Li Shao became more and more depressed.

He had no good impressions of his uncle, whom he had not seen for more than ten years. He even disliked him so much that he turned around and left.

Li Jun did not let him go.

His voice came from behind Li Shao, with a bit of confusion: "Do you want to know how to deal with your father? You might as well ask me."

Li Shao paused slightly.

"I was imprisoned here by my father, not your father, and your father can't do anything to me."

Li Shao's hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists, and his words sounded unpleasant.

"My dad is a ruthless character, and fighting against him makes me scared and excited at the same time. You know? I love that kind of excitement and excitement that makes me scared to death but has goosebumps all over my body."

Li Shao's body froze and his fists loosened little by little.

He turned his head and looked at Li Jun: "What do you want to say?"

"I lost because I have many brothers of similar age. My father was able to demote the fourth child to a commoner and lock me up." Li Jun licked his lips, raised his chin, and stared at Li Shao and Li Shao. As if staring at prey, "You are different. Your brothers are too young, and you are the prince. Your father dotes on you too much. If you cause some trouble, he will not take care of you. As for you, you like That feeling of fear and excitement?"

Li Shao's breathing stagnated for a while.Just listen to Li Jun say again: "I will teach you."

Li Shao sat down.

He wanted to hear what Li Jun could say.

It's raining harder.

In Shuntian Mansion, Shan Shenhei had a sullen face, and his master was writing furiously beside him.

Liu Xun's mind was confused and his words were very messy, but he still explained something, but the information was limited.

Xu Jian heard this without saying a word and winked at Master Dan.

The two of them left the house together and stood on the porch talking.

"It's useless to ask," Xu Jian said, "We all know that someone planned it, and it took several months before and after the layout. Can such a move make Liu Xun, a fool, see the problem in his head?"

Shan Shen smiled and quite agreed with this "fool-headed" assessment.

After finishing laughing, Shan Shen said in a low voice: "The others are all abandoned, and we can't find out. We can only take as much as we can from Liu Xun. Although the Holy Master also knows that the black hand is difficult to catch, and Dao Heng can't catch it either. They say they must do whatever they want, but the Duke of Guo knows that I am handling the case, and if I can’t catch anyone or solve the case, I feel uncomfortable!”

Xu Jian thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to check out the land deeds and stuff, and then I'll go to the house for a walk. The prince is nowhere to be seen, but the prince is not only followed by a stone servant, but also by guards."

Shan Shen's eyes lit up.

Xu Jian went to read the paperwork first.

The deed documents related to that house and the houses around Chenmi Hutong have been sorted out and piled on Master Shan's desk.

Xu Jian had done a lot of research in the fog before, and now he was sorting it out bit by bit in conjunction with the paperwork.

Not long after, several guards came to the East Palace.

Xu Jian took a few glances and introduced to Shan Shen: "This Qian Hu has been with the prince for several years. This Li Anyong was promoted to chief position only after the year. In the past, he mostly stayed in the East Palace. This..."

Shan Shen glanced at him one by one and first called Qian Hu, who followed Li Shao most often, for questioning.

Qian Hu actually couldn't answer anything.

He originally thought of finding an opportunity to sue Liu Xun with His Highness, but unexpectedly, before he could tell His Highness to stay away from Liu Xun's big-tailed wolf, Liu Xun would get His Highness involved.

"This Liu Xun is not a good guy at all!"

"If he hadn't brought some tribute wine, His Highness wouldn't have thought of drinking it."

"He wanted to present his beauty to His Highness before, thinking that His Highness liked the smell of his outer room, so he signaled to us that if there were people like that, let us go and rob people quietly."

"I didn't go, how could I do such a thing! Maybe Geng Baoyuan heard it. Anyway, he disappeared later. Maybe he missed it?"

"Who was robbed? How do I know? Anyway, His Highness was very angry after Geng Baoyuan disappeared. His Highness had no such bastard thoughts at all. It was all Liu Xun who deceived people."

Xu Jian crossed her arms, stood aside, glanced at Mr. Shan who looked embarrassed, and then turned her attention to Qian Hu.

He signaled Master Shan to ask questions to the guards. In fact, he just wanted to ask Qian Hu.

Qian Hu was not an idiot. He wanted to protect the prince, but he didn't like Liu Xun, so he would naturally say half and hide half.

Turning their heads, Xu Jian and Shan Shen said, "I heard a few days ago that Liu Xun's outer room has disappeared."

Shan Shen didn't care about the process of what he heard.

Qian Hu was very excited: "Liu Xun still wanted to dedicate the outer room to His Highness, and if others didn't obey, he would run away, right? He didn't even think about whether the woman he had played with was worthy of serving His Highness?"

After asking this question, the confession came to Liu Xun again.

Liu Xun's face turned pale and pale.

Is robbing someone acceptable?

The prince might still be able to take advantage of what happened last night, but the robbery was confirmed and he was definitely doomed.

He just didn't understand. Is Qian Hu stupid?
"He was slanderous!" Liu Xun denied, "I didn't say anything like that, and I didn't signal any robbery. I'm not crazy. How could I do that?

Geng Baoyuan obviously ran away with a huge gambling debt and had nothing to do with me.

Yueniang did leave, but she, she left because she felt bad because I got married. "

Shan Shen came out of the house and rubbed his face vigorously against the wet rain.

He didn't believe what Liu Xun said.

Of course, I could only listen to half of what Qian Hu said.

But the Chenmi Hutong incident is at hand, and Shan Shen doesn’t think Qian Hu will inexplicably make up some story about “robbing people”...

Xu Jian stood next to Shan Shen and said, "Your Excellency, you still want to investigate the matter of robbing people? The city is full of trouble, and the matter is bigger."

Shan Shen sighed.

Moreover, Geng Baoyuan disappeared, and it was probably a mistake. The so-called robbery was not reported to the official, so there was no way to investigate.

Is it a good thing if he really finds out some clues?
The Holy One wanted to hear the inside story of Chen Mi Hutong, so he reported that the guards around the prince were trying to kidnap people for the prince's entertainment...

Anyone who studies knows that writing articles should be to the point.

If you can't break the topic, it's useless to write flowers.

The same goes for being an official now.

He handed over to the Holy Emperor a case file that was inconsistent with the truth about the prince.

However, how does His Highness manage people if they are not checked and checked, and people around him are causing trouble randomly?
It seems that His Highness's daily behavior is so ridiculous that the people below him imitate it.

Ugh!
The rain is sometimes heavy and sometimes light.

In the half-open flower hall, Monk Daoheng was sitting.

After waiting for a while, the sound of footsteps came closer and closer. He looked up and saw his master coming.

The rich man sat down and asked, "The prince is still in Yongji Palace?"

"Yes," the person who followed him in lowered his head and answered, "It's still inside."

"He and Li Jun can really have a good talk," Jin Guiren chuckled, and then turned his attention to Dao Heng, "What did you find out?"

"Neither Shuntian Mansion nor the garrison yamen have made much progress," Dao Heng replied, "Everything has been arranged at the house, and what they can find is what we check for them."

Jin Guiren has no worries about this.

Dao Heng added: "The Holy One asked Xu Jian to go to Shuntian Mansion to help investigate the case."

Jin Guiren frowned slightly.

What happened last night was all the fault of Xu Jian.

It was Xu Jian who stimulated the prince with a few words and made the prince appear in the house.

"I saw him clearly, but I didn't expect that he would do something so bad." Jin Guiren said word by word.

Dao Heng lowered his eyes, knowing what his master was referring to.

The master had analyzed it with him before.

Xu Jian is too young, and the way he guides the prince is too strict, which will only be counterproductive.

The prince was unwilling to listen to Xu Jian, but instead got closer to Liu Xun.

Unexpectedly, he was so determined to force the prince to make progress, and forced the prince to go to Chenmi Hutong at an inappropriate time.

So much so that their plan here went awry.

Jin Guiren didn't hesitate much, and his brows gradually relaxed: "The matter is over, let's move on. Liu Xun's chess piece falling into Xu Jian's hands will be a good show."

Brothers kill each other.

wrong.

It was Xu Jian who killed Liu Xun.

This will bring Liu Jing and his wife into the mix, and it's hard not to think it's exciting.

He is still willing to see this drama between father and son, mother and son, and even develop into a quarrel between husband and wife.

On the other side, Lin Yunyan arrived at Guangde Temple.

Knowing that Xu Miao had already settled in the back room, she went straight over.

Aunt Xia had just helped the mother and daughter clean their faces, brought out the water and poured it out. She turned around and saw the princess coming quickly.

She bowed and called back into the house.

Xu Miao was exhausted and tried to cheer up so that she would not be too rude.

And Liu Ping held the handkerchief, her mood was ups and downs.

This is the first time she has met the princess and her sister-in-law, who has not yet been married to her.

Her impression of her sister-in-law all came from Zheng Liu.

Zheng Liu used to be kind to her, but today, he suddenly showed his true colors.

The difference was so big that Liu Ping was shocked and scared.

So, where is this sister-in-law?
Liu Ping raised her head and looked at Lin Yunyan who walked in quickly.

First impressions are pretty.

When their eyes met, she saw Lin Yunyan bending her eyes at her with a gentle smile.

Liu Ping's heart suddenly became much calmer.

I heard that the eldest brother likes this proposed marriage partner very much.

The eldest brother is such a smart person, so his sweetheart must also be a very good person.
