Princess, please respect yourself!

Chapter 378 Tao Ranju takes someone

"Sir, Yu Xiuning is awake." Wu Jiong knocked on the door and came in to report.

"Let's go and see you."

Yu Xiuning woke up, but when she opened her eyes, she found that she was in a strange room. She was confused. Didn't she meet the commander?

She was a smart person. She realized something was wrong and immediately understood what was going on. She was so frightened that her face instantly turned pale.

He was probably kidnapped.

The words she said were all in a dream, not in reality. If so, then it is very likely that someone used the "dream" technique on her.

This is the secret technique of the spiritual path, a secret technique that only the attendants of the Lingguan Palace know. Of course, this is not absolute. During the "Yu Ling" chaos 300 years ago, the Lingguan Palace split, and some Lingguan Palace inheritances It is not impossible for the secret technique to be leaked and the technique of "entering dreams" to be mastered by outsiders.

Except for Lingguan Hall itself, the other four holy lands among the five major holy lands have all gained great benefits after wiping out the Yuling Sect, especially in terms of spiritual books. Some spiritual secrets have been passed down.

Tianlan Sect and Liuli Temple have obtained the most spiritual secrets. The Demonic Sect has been excluded and there are not so many. It is said that every family has obtained the "Dream" technique, but practicing this technique requires a certain amount of talent, and it is not easy to get started. , although the major holy places have obtained this technique, there are only very few people who can practice it.

Practicing this technique is unique in interrogation. People can easily expose their inner secrets unconsciously.

Unless it has been discovered long ago.

The "dream" technique to a higher level is to search for the soul. This cannot be done before entering the spiritual realm. Even if it can be used, it can only be used by people with lower cultivation than oneself.

Searching for souls is a heaven-defying technique. If not done right, the target of the technique will become a complete idiot after searching for souls. Therefore, it is also a forbidden technique in Lingguan Palace.

Of course, Luo Xing was unable to use Soul Search, and his Dream Entrance Technique was only an introduction. If Yu Xiu Ning's cultivation level was not far lower than him, he would not dare to try it easily.

She wanted to get up and go out, but she couldn't muster the strength, and her martial arts was imprisoned.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. She supported her body and sat up, looking at the door that was about to open with a slightly frightened look.

The door opened.

The moment Yu Xiuning saw Luo Xing, her pupils shrank quickly, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Miss Yu, you don't seem surprised to see me?"

"Why did Mr. Luo detain the young lady here?" Yu Xiu calmed down, she knew where her flaw was exposed, otherwise she would not be in this situation.

"Why do you, Miss Yu, ask questions knowingly? You are the person closest to Director Si, and you know a lot of her secrets."

"Oh, Mr. Luo wants Xiu Ning to testify against the head of the department?"

Luo Xing smiled slightly. Is Yu Xiuning still struggling, or pretending to be stupid, not understanding that her identity has been exposed?
"The secret order sent to Shuozhou was sent by the Chief Secretary. It's true, but it's not certain whether the secret order was written by Her Royal Highness Princess Liuli. Miss Yu, what do you think?"

"The little girl saw with her own eyes that the old servant next to Her Royal Highness handed it to the Chief Secretary. Is there any lie?"

"Miss Yu, have you seen the contents of the secret letter with your own eyes?"

"This little woman doesn't."

"In other words, you don't know what the content of the secret message is, right?"

"Yes."

"It is possible that the secret message was changed by the director during the transfer process, right?" Luo Xing then asked.

"Impossible, the director immediately called Yingnu after receiving the secret message and sent it out. She had no chance to replace the secret message. Furthermore, unless she had prepared the secret message, how could she have time to replace it? ?”

"Miss Yu has a clear mind, I understand." Luo Xing nodded, called someone in, and asked Yu Xiuning to sign.

"Sir, what are you..." Xu Chanjuan, who was in charge of recording, was puzzled. This confession was extremely detrimental to Princess Liuli.

"No need to ask more, you will understand later." Luo Xing didn't want to explain more. With Xu Chanjuan's little political experience now, she couldn't understand it at all.

"Yes!"

……

"Xiao Qi, I have read Yu Xiuning's confession. It is very detrimental to His Highness." Qingyi asked, "But you know that this secret letter was forged by her, why..."

"Why did I induce Yu Xiuning to tell a negative testimony against His Highness?" Luo Xing knew Qingyi would come over and ask him.

"Why is this?"

"What we want is the truth, but His Majesty may not. If His Majesty is innocent, then he will lift Her Majesty's house arrest and give her her freedom. But once Her Majesty is free now, will he be able to stop Her Majesty wherever she goes?" Luo Xing said, "I'm afraid the marriage has become a joke."

"Then will Your Majesty limit your time to investigate this case?"

"He did it for others to see. In fact, he wanted me to investigate this case until His Highness got married." Luo Xing explained, "If I find out any truth here, as long as it does not meet His Majesty's purpose, he will not I’ll recognize it.”

"As long as we find conclusive evidence, why doesn't Your Majesty deny it?" Qingyi argued.

"That's because you didn't consider the problem from his position. If you were His Majesty, what would you do in this situation?"

"Of course I want to find out the truth and restore His Highness's innocence."

"His Highness is innocent. The misunderstanding between Xirong and Xirong has been resolved. Is there no obstacle to His Highness's marriage?" Luo Xing asked rhetorically.

Qingyi was stunned.

Yes, if Ye Liuli hadn't been behind the assassination of the fourth prince of Xirong, the obstacle to the marriage would not have existed.

"But His Highness can't bear this unfair injustice, can he?"

"This depends on the attitude of the people of Xirong. His Majesty probably also wants to use this matter to test the sincerity of the Wolf Lord of Xirong in seeking peace. Even if His Highness planned to assassinate the fourth prince of Xirong, the fourth prince is fine, so this marriage should not be It ended because of this little thing. If the Wolf Lord of Xirong can't do it or doesn't come to Dazhou for some reason, then His Majesty will announce the truth of the investigation and clear His Highness's name. So at this stage, His Highness has to suffer a little aggrieved." Luo Xing explained.

In fact, it also means to provoke internal fighting in Xirong.

This is all a political game between the two countries, and the truth is secondary.

From Emperor Yongxi's move of granting him half a month to investigate the case, he could see what His Majesty was thinking.

Half a month is exactly the time for Xirong to receive the letter from Luo Jing and reply.

What he wanted was the reaction of the Wolf Lord of Xirong.

There were many people in the court who could see this, but no one would tell Luo Xing, including Wang Haifeng and Zhuo Chunfeng.

As for Master Meng Yi, his political sensitivity is not high and he doesn't like to think about it. He probably didn't notice it either.

Therefore, he has to realize all this by himself.

He did not arrest Yu Xiuning and Guo Huai immediately because of this consideration. Of course, it was more because he wanted to find out the forces behind them.

The organization and commander sounded like Nan Chu's inner guards, but this was just a guess. Neither Yu Xiuning nor Guo Huai said a word about "inner guards".

However, there is no doubt that the information on Guo Huai and Yu Xiuning points to Nanchu.

Nanchu now most hopes that Dazhou will fight with Xirong to give himself time to buffer and digest the meat in his stomach.

Therefore, the Nanchu inner guards had a motive to plan this assassination with the help of Tianlan Sect.

Motive alone is not enough, concrete evidence must be found. "Next step, I plan to release Yu Xiuning." Luo Xing said.

"Let her go. She was finally captured. If you let her go again, what will happen if she runs away?" Qingyi was puzzled.

"She won't run away. If she does, the organization behind her will not let her go. Furthermore, just because I let her go, it doesn't mean I will ignore her. People will naturally keep an eye on her every move." Luo Xing explained.

"Then when will you let it go?"

"Detain her for at least three days, then spread the news quietly, and then release her," Luo Xing said.

"You want the organization behind her to know that she was caught and then released," Qingyi said, "and then wait for their people to come find him and follow the clues?"

"Of course, before releasing Yu Xiuning, we have to capture Guo Huai." Luo Xing smiled slightly and nodded.

"It's easy to catch Guo Huai, I'll go now." Qingyi volunteered.

"No, I'll go there myself." Luo Xing said with a mysterious smile, "We have to wait for an opportunity to catch Guo Huai."

"opportunity?"

"When he went to Tao Ranju."

"That's the fifth prince's territory. If you go to his place to arrest people, aren't you afraid of offending the fifth prince?" Qingyi was startled.

"I didn't say to arrest anyone, I just brought Guo Huai to Nanya to assist in the investigation. Isn't that okay?" Luo Xing laughed.

"Are you testing the relationship between the Fifth Prince and Guo Huai?" Qingyi understood. Guo Huai had a relationship with the Fifth Prince, but he couldn't come to ask openly. Once the other party really had a relationship and was on guard, there would be no way to get him. Brought it back.

But why were they arrested in Tao Ranju? It was to let the Fifth Prince know that Guo Huai had been taken away by Nan Ya as soon as possible.

If someone is arrested at home, it may take a long time for the Fifth Prince to find out. After all, Guo Huai does not go to Tao Ranju every day.

Nanya couldn't openly recruit people, as that would inevitably cause rumors in the market.

Luo Xing didn't have to wait too long for this opportunity. The next morning, Yang Yingchun received news that Guo Huai had gone to Tao Ranju again.

Luo Xing has been to Taoranju once, so there will be no problem if he goes there again, and there will be no problem if he brings Qingyi with him.

Wearing casual clothes, the two got off the car at the door of Tao Ranju and saw Yang Yingchun guarding the door. There were many teahouses and shops near Tao Ranju, so Yang Yingchun could naturally monitor Tao Ranju's situation without leaving any trace.

Guo Huai probably didn't realize that he was being followed and monitored, so there was no chance of him leaving through the back door of Tao Ranju and running away from him.

What's more, Yang Yingchun had already memorized Guo Huai's aura, and he could feel it as long as his aura was still in Tao Ranju.

The perception ability of a first-grade grandmaster is not something that ordinary people can understand.

"It's been half an hour since I entered. I can only feel his approximate location. You have to find the specific location by yourself."

"I know, you stay at the door." Luo Xing nodded, gave an order, and then walked into Tao Ranju with Qingyi.

At this time, there are not many guests in Taoranju, and those who come are all literati and elegant guests. They are drinking tea and chatting, or playing chess. The elegant and simple environment with soothing music makes the atmosphere full.

This place is really good. Whether it is decoration or taste, it is indeed first-class in Luojing.

With Yang Yingchun's guidance, Luo Xing and Qingyi quickly found Guo Huai's location. He was discussing something with a scribe in an open private room.

The relationship between the two seemed to be good, and they had a good conversation. The scribe even got up to pour him tea himself, showing their closeness.

"Brother Guo is so talented, why don't you participate in next year's competition so that you can gain fame and enter an official career?"

"I am from Nanchu. I have lived in Luojing for many years. I do not comply with the rules of the imperial court for official appointment. Naturally, I cannot participate in the competition." Guo Huai said regretfully.

"Then you are not naturalized?"

"Naturalization is not impossible, but I haven't met the relevant conditions yet, so it's not possible yet," Guo Huai said.

"This is not difficult. What's wrong with Guo Xiong? I can help. The naturalization officer in Jingzhao Mansion is my friend. It doesn't matter if it's just a little bit close."

"I am a male, and naturalization requires me to work and live in Luojing for five years. As for me, I still have half a year to go."

……

"Guo Huai has been in Luojing for seven or eight years, so why is it still half a year short?" Qingyi asked sideways with some confusion after hearing this.

"It should be intentional. The person opposite probably doesn't know the details of Guo Huai, so he used such trivial things to tie him up to pave the way for future events." Luo Xing explained that this kind of thing is routine in the spy manual. s method.

"Who is this guy? Do you want to check?"

"You can check, but you don't need to alert the other party. He probably doesn't know who Guo Huai is." Luo Xing said, "Most people don't have this awareness, and they are dragged into the water step by step."

"Well, shall we go there now?"

"No, just wait for him to come out and take him away." Luo Xing shook his head. They were not here to cause trouble with Tao Ranju Da.

"it is good."

"Find a seat, let's sit down and drink some tea." Luo Xing pulled Qingyi aside, ordered a pot of tea and four plates of dried fruit snacks, sat down, and tasted them slowly.

About a quarter of an hour later, Guo Huai stood up and said goodbye to the other party, preparing to leave. Luo Xing reached out and knocked on the table, reminding Qingyi that it was time to take action.

The two of them saw the opportunity and stood up, one to the left and the other to the back, and clamped Guo Huai from both sides: "Nan Yatiqi, Boss Guo, please come with us."

Guo Huai's face flashed with surprise: "Who are you, and why should I go with you?"

"You know Yu Xiuning, right? She has already confessed you." Luo Xing reached out and clasped her right upper arm and said, "Stop playing tricks and follow us obediently. Otherwise, you will know the consequences."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Guo Huai wanted to use his Qi, but found that he couldn't feel it in his Dantian, and nodded dejectedly.

"Very good, let's go." Luo Xing smiled slightly, and walking arm-in-arm with Guo Huai outside Tao Ranju, Qingyi followed closely behind.

Suddenly, Luo Xing suddenly felt a telepathy, and found that he had a feeling of being spied on. This feeling passed quickly.

He didn't raise his head or look around, he just pretended that he didn't notice anything and continued walking forward calmly.

The person who was spying on him must be a master. If he hadn't cultivated the spiritual path, he would not have been able to discover it. Even Qingyi, a first-class grandmaster, could not detect it, which shows how advanced his cultivation is.

……

"Your Majesty, the people from Nanya have gone too far. They came to Tao Ranju to arrest people. They obviously did it on purpose!" In a luxurious box on the top floor of Tao Ranju's third floor, a middle-aged man wearing luxurious clothes was holding a cup of tea. Sit on the soft ground.

Two stunning beauties were waiting on both sides. They were the fifth princes who were famous in Luo Jing, and the person speaking was a man in his 30s. Judging from his attire, he should be a guard or something like that.

"Yunfei, a little guy has appeared in Nanya. He has been promoted several levels in a month. I think he is the one who comes to pick up people today." The fifth prince smiled slightly, put down the tea cup, waved his hand, and asked the two stunning beauties to go out. .

"My lord, what do you mean?" Guard Yunfei bowed.

"Inform the people behind Guo Huai that Nanya has targeted them, and what I owe them will be paid off this time." The fifth prince ordered.

"My subordinate understands."
