As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 172 Plot to assassinate the prince
Xie Changan did find that the jade pendant was missing, but he thought it was lost during the attack, but he didn't expect it to be in her hands.

The little beggar said in a low voice: "Master, you are so kind. If I take your things, I will definitely have trouble sleeping day and night. Don't worry, I have washed them clean, really."

Xie Changan laughed when he saw the sincerity on her face.

He took the jade pendant and handed the money bag to the little girl, "Go ahead."

"I don't want it." The little beggar shook his head like a rattle.

"Take it."

Xie Changan pushed the money bag to her, "This little money is not much, it just allows me to wear warm clothes and eat a few good meals. It is fate that we meet each other. I treat it as your invitation."

The little beggar still shook his head.

Xie Zhaozhao, who was quiet for a while, said calmly: "If you don't take it, I will send you to the police for stealing. When the time comes, your hands and feet will be chopped off. It's your own fault."

The little beggar turned pale with fright, pulled the money bag over, glanced at Xie Zhaozhao in horror, turned around and ran away quickly.

"Zhao Zhao."

Xie Changan looked back at her helplessly, "Why are you trying to scare her?"

"Isn't this helping Brother Six to let her get the scraps of silver? She has to follow Brother Six's advice, and she won't take it."

Xie Changan was speechless for a moment.

That's true.

The two of them were about to walk in when they heard footsteps and the little beggar came back again.

"Sir, are you from the capital?" the little beggar said timidly: "I accidentally heard a group of people say two days ago that they were going to kill a man named the prince near the capital."

After saying this, Xie Changan and Xie Zhaozhao's expressions changed slightly.

The two looked at each other, and Xie Zhaozhao softened his expression and asked with a smile: "Little girl, where did you hear this? Tell your sister?"

"me……"

The little beggar looked at Xie Zhaozhao with so timid eyes that he stuttered.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't expect that his little joke would have such a deterrent effect, and he laughed for a moment.

Xie Changan gave her a calm look, called the little beggar into a corner of the post house, and then asked warmly: "Where did you hear this?"

"Kan'er Alley." The little beggar pointed in the direction. "It's also called Flea Alley. It's full of people like me... I heard two people talking about it when I was sleeping a few nights ago."

Xie Changan now asked about the date, the accent and figure of the person who said this, and the specific content.

His tone was as gentle as water, which was really comfortable in my ears.

The little beggar answered whatever he wanted.

Xie Zhaozhao stopped not far away and listened.

After the question and answer session, Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Changan both looked solemn.

"Sixth brother." Xie Zhaozhao glanced at the little beggar meaningfully, "I see that fifth brother is here. I'll go and have a look."

"it is good."

Xie Changan looked back and his eyes on the little beggar were a little complicated.

Although he has a gentle and upright temperament, he is extremely intelligent and certainly understands what his sister means.

The appearance of this little beggar was too strange, and the plot to assassinate the prince was also stated clearly. It really didn't look like an accidental encounter.

Xie Changan smiled: "Have you had dinner?"

The little beggar shook his head quickly, then seemed a little embarrassed and wanted to nod.

But he couldn't lie under Xie Changan's gentle but transparent gaze, and finally bit his lip awkwardly.

Those eyes were blinking and watery, really pitiful and amiable.

"I saved you once, and you came to me to return the object again. It's fate." Xie Chang'an said, "I'll let someone lead you to get something to eat."

……

"what happened?"

Xie Changyuan had just reached Ruyi Gate and was stretching his neck to look towards Xie Changan when he saw Xie Zhaozhao stepping into the courtyard, his expression and steps were extremely hurried.Xie Changyuan was surprised, "What's wrong?"

"It's really urgent and I need to see my father."

Xie Changyuan was startled.

I have always known what kind of temper Xie Zhaozhao is, so I immediately followed Xie Zhaozhao without watching the excitement or making fun of him.

Xie Wei, who had just arrived at the post house and settled in the courtyard, had not yet rested.

Seeing Xie Zhaozhao's hurry, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "What happened?"

"Someone is plotting to assassinate the prince." Xie Zhaozhao's words were like thunder exploding in spring.

Xie Wei's expression changed suddenly, "Elaborate."

Xie Zhaozhao immediately told his father about his affair with the little beggar.

When Xie Wei finished listening to Xie Zhaozhao's words, his expression was extremely solemn, "The prince is a wise ruler and a wise king. He has an important responsibility for the country. Once he is assassinated, there will be chaos in the government and the opposition."

"Now that we know about it, we naturally have to go to rescue him."

Xie Zhaozhao asked: "With father's wishes, how can we go to rescue him? Are you all going to go back?"

Xie Wei frowned.

"The current plot to assassinate the prince is just a one-sided statement by this little beggar."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "The Xie family has already received the order and left the capital. If they go back hastily and the plot to assassinate the prince is false, then they will inevitably be guilty of contempt for the emperor's favor."

"But if you don't go, if it's true, there will be big trouble again."

"Not bad." Xie Wei's hand gently patted the armrest of the Grand Master's chair, "Let your two brothers go back -"

"My daughter thinks it's inappropriate."

Xie Zhaozhao shook his head, "Fifth brother and sixth brother are both men. Although they are idle in the court, they have also joined the court. If the two of them go back, it is easy for someone who wants to make a fuss to find a reason."

Xie Wei frowned and his eyes fell on Xie Zhaozhao, "Are you going?"

"Yes." Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "I can go."

"If the assassination of the prince is false, and I am blocked by others, I will say that my mother prepared something for my sister and forgot to give it to her, so she returned to the capital to deliver the things."

"If the plot to assassinate the prince is true, then I should do my best to save him."

Xie Wei hesitated.

"Father, don't worry." Xie Zhaozhao said: "I still have the warrant from Dingxi Prince's Palace, which will be of some use at critical moments."

At this time, Xie Changan came in from the outside and happened to hear Xie Zhaozhao's last words, and he knew what she meant.

Xie Changan frowned: "If the plot to assassinate the prince is true, it must be dangerous. How can I let my little sister go alone?"

"Perhaps the man in the dark has calculated correctly that we know he will weigh our concerns and set a trap waiting for us in the capital."

Under such circumstances, Xie Zhaozhao going back alone would be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

Xie Changyuan said: "But you can't just pretend you don't know."

If something happens to the prince, the consequences will be disastrous.

Xie Wei pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Lao Wu and Lao Qi, please go back together and take others with you. My father will stay here for a few days and wait for news from you."

"it is good."

Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Changyuan agreed and quickly went out to gather people to prepare to leave.

Xie Changan was worried and wanted to go, but he knew that this trip would not be very useful if there were many people.

Parents need him to protect them.

Moreover, the news came from Luzhou, which is also very suspicious.

Xie Wei said: "The little beggar will stay in the post house for a while, and then he will find a reason to stay here for a few days."

"My child understands." Xie Changan agreed.
