Chapter 175
In the northwest corner of the Imperial Palace in Yujing City, there is a huge courtyard surrounded by high walls.
It is a little far away from the imperial palaces, and the architectural style of the buildings in the courtyard is completely different from the imperial palaces.
The high wall is black.
Dozens of small buildings, large and small, are all black in the high wall.
Except for the one in the farthest corner, those small buildings are all two-story buildings.
The one in the corner has eight floors.
It is actually a tower, but there is no tower in its name.
It is also completely dark, so it is called the Black Building.
This place is quieter than any other place in the palace, even the chirping of cicadas can hardly be heard here.
This is the headquarters of Ningguo Imperial City Division.
The black building is the heart of this headquarters!
And Changsun Jinghong is the master here.
He doesn't like summer, and he doesn't like the chirping of cicadas in summer, so whenever summer comes, the first thing the officials and spies of the Imperial City Department do is to catch all the cicadas in the forest.
Over time, there will be no cicadas here.
Then it became as quiet as it is now.
Prince Ning Zhiyi got off the carriage outside the courtyard. He did not bring a single guard, but he walked into this courtyard and walked towards the dark building led by Si Zhike of the Imperial City.
It was very hot outside the yard, but after he entered the yard, he felt that it was chilly here.
There are reasons for those big-leaf banyan trees that block out the sky, and there are also reasons for the gloomy everywhere here.
The tree trunks are covered with moss, and the walls of those small wooden buildings are also covered with moss.
It is said that in the former dynasty, this place was actually an execution ground.
After the founding of Ningguo, in order to suppress the yin energy here, he built the dark building, but he did not expect that 300 years later, this place is even more eerie than the previous execution ground.
None of the officers like it here.
Even the vast majority of officials in the DPRK and China have never been here, and they never want to come here in their entire lives.
What the Imperial City Secretary did was not a good thing for these officials.
If he is targeted by the Imperial City Secretary... that is to walk before the gate of hell.
Therefore, this place is also privately called the Palace of the King of Hades by those officials.
As for the King of Hades, of course it is Sun Jinghong, the eldest son of the Secretary of the Imperial City!
Panting, Ning Zhiyi climbed to the eighth floor.
However, what he saw was a girl in a red dress sitting in front of the window.
"Hongyi, where is Mr. Changsun?"
She is dressed in red, her name is Hongyi, she is the granddaughter of Changsun Jinghong... Changsun Hongyi!
Changsun Hongyi stood up and bowed her hands, "Your Highness, Grandpa is enjoying the coolness under the crooked-neck tree downstairs."
"..." Ning Zhiyi was in a bad mood.
Climbing this stairs is really tiring!
But even he, the crown prince, didn't dare to let people go and call Changsun Jinghong up.
So, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and took another breath, "I'll go find him right now."
"In a hurry?"
"...I'm not in a hurry, I just want to hear my husband's opinion on something trivial."
Changsun Hongyi blinked her beautiful eyes, "Oh, then I'll take you down."
Ning Zhiyi went downstairs again with difficulty, turned his head to look at the eight-storey building, and wondered why it was built so high?
The two came to the crooked neck tree in the corner.
There is a square table and four stone stools under the tree.
Chang Sun Jinghong did not sit on the stone bench, but lay on a rocking chair under the tree.
He was shaking a tattered cattail fan in one hand, and holding a cup of tea in the other. The rocking chair was shaking, and he was humming a song while squinting his eyes:
Yingyingyanyanyanchunchun, flowers, willows and willows are true,
Everything is charming and charming,
Delicate and tender, stop and be everyone...
His voice was ugly, even out of tune, but every groove on his old face was filled with the word enjoyment.
Changsun Hongyi and Prince Ning Zhiyi were standing beside him. He waited for him to finish singing the song before he opened his eyes, looked at Ning Zhiyi, and sat up.
"Your Highness, you are fat again!"
"..." Ning Zhiyi felt a little pain in his chest.
He saluted respectfully, "Sir, you've lost weight again!"
"It's hard to buy money to grow old and thin. It's better to be thinner. Please sit down! Hongyi, go and get that pot of herbal tea from the well."
"Okay, grandpa."
Changsun Hongyi turned around and left. Changsun Jinghong was still sitting on the rocking chair. He looked at Ning Zhiyi again, "What's the matter?"
"It's not my business."
"...Whose business is that?"
"Li Chen'an!"
Changsun Jinghong frowned slightly, "Is that Li Chen'an who made the song "Tianjingsha"? Your Highness has taken a fancy to this kid?"
Ning Zhiyi nodded and shook his head:
"Speaking of which, I really admire what this kid said at the south gate. But in the current situation...if I win him over, I will actually hurt him."
"There are two main things to look for Mr. today."
At this moment Changsun Hongyi came over with a jar of herbal tea, she poured a bowl for Ning Zhiyi, sat aside, and heard Ning Zhiyi say again:
"First, the father has not yet returned to the palace, but sent back an imperial edict, which is for Li Chen'an, instructing him to participate in the August [-]th Mid-Autumn Festival... This matter is probably not that simple. Concubine Ji came up with the idea."
"Sihuangmei seems to be a little interested in that kid, and I don't want him to die in the hands of Concubine Ji, so I would like to ask Mr. to see that his grandfather and you were close friends. After returning to the palace, help him find a way out for him in front of his father."
Changsun Jinghong didn't answer, instead Changsun Hongyi asked curiously: "You mean Concubine Ji is going to harm Li Chen'an?"
"Is he a small person from Guangling City, worthy of Concubine Ji Gui?"
Ning Zhiyi pondered for a moment: "This is also a guess. Speaking of which, he is really not worthy of Concubine Ji Gui, but... the second brother is very fond of Zhongli Ruoshui, but Zhongli Ruoshui likes Li Chen'an."
"Oh, speaking of it, I'm also very curious, why did Zhongli Ruoshui take a fancy to him?"
Ning Zhiyi didn't know either, so he couldn't answer.
Changsun Jinghong took a sip of tea, "What's the second thing?"
"The second thing is to ask Mr. about the past."
"Mister, do you know about Wen Zhuyu?"
Changsun Jinghong looked up at Ning Zhiyi, pondered for a moment: "I know."
"Then... sir, do you know that I should have an older brother?"
"died."
Ning Zhiyi was startled, "Is he really dead?"
"I haven't seen you for 20 years. The Imperial City Division, the Fish and Dragon Society, and the Lijing Division have been looking for them for 20 years. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have plowed our Ning country all over, but there is really no news, so let's pretend he is dead. "
At this moment, a middle-aged man in black hurried over.
He stood in front of Changsun Jinghong, bowed and said, "My lord, I just got some news."
"what news?"
"The Lijing Division is searching for medical clinics all over the city!"
The eldest grandson was taken aback in panic, "Why?"
"An accident happened in Huaxi Bieyuan. Luo Yueban brought four killers to Huaxi Bieyuan to kill Li Chen'an... This is the fourth daughter-in-law of Mrs. Fan from Dingguohou's Mansion, that is, Zhongli Ruoshui's mother invited Eunuch Xiao It's because of...that old eunuch in Concubine Ji's palace."
Changsun Jinghong was startled suddenly, "Li Chenan is seriously injured?"
"No, Luo Yueban and his four subordinates were all killed by a young man named Amu...a disciple of Mu Shandao."
"Li Chenan took Amu to seek medical treatment. Zhongli Ruoshui didn't know which clinic Li Chenan went to. His Highness the Fourth Princess gave the order to Li Jingsi."
Changsun Jinghong stroked his long beard, "I know..."
His old eyes narrowed slowly, and there was a piercing sharpness in them:
"Red clothes, you bring a hundred black cavalry, and at midnight tonight, you will go to the palace hall, Kaiyuan Pavilion, Chenxiang Tower, and Jubao Pavilion... I will burn them all!"
"Everyone inside...kill them!"
Changsun Hongyi was taken aback, because these places belonged to Prime Minister Ji and Concubine Ji!
Prince Ning Zhiyi was also shocked. He looked at Changsun Jinghong thoughtfully, and seeing Changsun Jinghong took a deep breath, he said again:
"The Imperial City Division has been so low-key these years that many people have forgotten."
"It's time to show your face, otherwise... this tiger doesn't show its power, it really thinks it's a sick cat!"
