Chapter 401 Doubt

The second prince, Zhao Jing, stopped looking at the painting, and smiled apologetically at Zhao Jin: "I'm really sorry, Brother Nine Emperors, I don't know who is so short-sighted, who dares to spoil our interest, don't worry, I will deal with it immediately Let’s continue to enjoy the painting.”

Although she was worried that it was Yi Yuanjing, Zhao Jin replied with a peaceful smile: "Second Brother, you don't need to be too polite, we are all brothers of the same family. Since it is not easy to continue enjoying the paintings, why don't you let me accompany the Second Emperor?" Go see what's going on."

The reason why Zhao Jin wanted to follow was because he wanted to confirm whether it was Yi Yuanjing or not, and he was always worried that he might say something wrong.

However, at this moment, the Second Prince Zhao Jing seemed to be waiting for him to say so, he didn't even show any reluctance, and immediately agreed, leading Zhao Jin all the way through the pavilion and toward the courtyard.

When the two arrived, the yard had already stopped. One person was escorted by the guards of the Second Prince's Mansion with his back to the two. Seeing his master coming, the guards bowed to the Second Prince Zhao Jing before saying: "Master, the slave just now When we were patrolling, we suddenly found that this person was looking at our mansion furtively, so we paid more attention. We didn't expect him to want to enter the mansion soon. Fortunately, the few of us did not disgrace the kindness of the prince, and we have already captured this man. .”

"Good job, I'll go to Huabao to receive the reward later."

"Thank you, my lord, for the reward." After thanking the person who answered, he stepped aside slightly, revealing the tightly bound person.

Someone here moved a stool for Zhao Jing and Zhao Jin to interrogate the prisoner, but Zhao Jin was at peace right now.

He has noticed carefully since he came here that the person's back is definitely not Yi Yuanjing. There was no sound from the side, someone moved a chair over at this moment, and the two sat down.

"Brother Jiuhuang made me laugh. Fortunately, I'm not an outsider. As a brother, I won't be too polite with you. Someone broke into my second prince's mansion today. Brother Jiuhuang, how do you deal with this matter?"

"Second Brother, why don't we first find out who this person was instigated by and why he came to Second Emperor's house, and ask clearly." Zhao Jin replied with a smile.

"Okay, just follow the words of Brother Jiuhuang." Zhao Jing nodded, and waved to his subordinates not far away: "Come here! Bring the suspect."

A person's body was covered with mud, and there were many wounds. It was obvious that he had been injured when he was captured. Although the wound was mixed with mud, it was still oozing out. It seemed that the wound was a bit deep.

After being brought over from a distance, when the man was pushed to the ground, Zhao Jin was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled coldly in his heart.

This person is none other than Ninth Princess Luo Ningyan's confidant, that Luo An who was sent by Luo Ningyan to follow him.

"Second Prince, spare your life, Second Prince, spare your life. This servant did not intend to offend the Prince. This servant... this servant... this servant is the guard of the Ninth Prince's mansion. It is to protect the safety of the Ninth Prince. I did not expect to be misunderstood by the guards of the Second Prince's mansion. Please The Second Prince, please spare me!" Luo An knew that his appearance had exposed the thoughts of the Ninth Princess, but if he wanted to survive at this time, he had to hold on to the identity of the Ninth Prince Zhao Jin, so he kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Oh? He belongs to the Ninth Emperor Brother?" A flash of emotion flashed in the eyes of the second prince Zhao Jing, and then he turned his head and looked at Zhao Jin with a slightly surprised expression: "Ninth Emperor Brother, what's going on? "

But at this time, Zhao Jin was not panicked at all, but with a look of surprise on his face, he replied to the Second Prince Zhao Jing: "Brother Second Emperor, I don't recognize this person." After finishing speaking, he said in a strict voice: "You Thief, you dare to frame this king, saying, who ordered you?"

Luo An never thought that the Ninth Prince Zhao Jin had no intention of saving him at all. He entered the mansion with the Ninth Concubine Luo Ningyan, and was even given the surname Luo because he was adopted by Prime Minister Luo since he was a child, so his status is higher than that of ordinary family members. The servant must be a bit taller, and he is the close bodyguard of the Ninth Princess Luo Ningyan, so it is impossible for Zhao Jin not to know him.

"My lord, little Luo An! My lord, don't you recognize a slave anymore?" If he lost his life, he would never see Luo Ningyan again in this life. Luo An didn't care too much, and yelled at Zhao Jin .

"Luo An?" Zhao Jin paused slightly, as if remembering something.

"Yes, yes, slave Luo An, Ninth Prince, do you remember the little one?" Luo An seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, seeing Zhao Jin's slightly hesitant expression, he nodded repeatedly.

But Zhao Jin's face darkened: "Bold thief, you think you dare to pretend to be Luo An." After speaking, he looked at the second prince Zhao Jing: "Second brother, this thief is really cunning, and he dared to pretend to be a substitute, how is this thief?" The disposal will be left to the second brother, please punish the second brother severely."

Zhao Jing on the side was a little puzzled: Is this person going to be abandoned?However, he didn't see a trace of reluctance in Zhao Jin's eyes. Could it be that this person is really not someone he sent?
Zhao Jing was a little puzzled. Before taking Lin Shuang away, he had dealt with the three comatose people. At that time, he had sent someone to investigate. Those three people were all from the Nine Princes' Mansion. As for why The murder of Lin Shuang was not investigated, but Zhao Jing didn't think it was that important, so he didn't question Lin Shuang.

But after seeing Zhao Jin's greeting post, Second Prince Zhao Jing couldn't help but start to wonder if there was some conspiracy in the middle.

It was such a coincidence that when Qingying went to look for the treasure, Lin Shuang happened to be imprisoned in the place where the treasure was buried. Later, Qingying happened to be forced to escape, and after saving Lin Shuang, she asked her to give the treasure map.

Although the treasure map is sealed, he is sure that he has not been tampered with, but the key that should have been hidden in the buried place has not been found. Now that Lin Shuang has something to do with the Jiuwangfu, he has to order Zhao Jing, who was already suspicious.

That treasure is the treasure of the wealthy and small country that was destroyed and restored to the country. Even the current emperor would not be unmoved if he knew about it.

And the only younger brother of the current emperor is the Ninth Prince Zhao Jin, so Zhao Jing is very suspicious. This treasure is probably also missed by the current emperor. The emperor heard about it by chance, so since he knew that the current emperor was the prince Zhao Ying at that time, there was no reason why he didn't know.

Therefore, when Lin Shuang was brought back, it was partly because she didn't know her identity, and when he saw her twice, her attitude made him feel fresh; The ones who were stunned were the people from the Nine Princes Mansion.
