"Duke Qiao," Cheng Yi looked at him with a smile and said, "Where are those two things now?"

Chai Shao pursed his lips, his expression became more and more gloomy.

After a while, he finally couldn't hold back and said: "Back then, Pingyang only told me this secret before he died. As for those two things..."

Chai Shao suddenly let out a wry smile.

"It has already been buried with Pingyang."

Hey!

Cheng Yi was surprised.

He really did not expect that Princess Pingyang would come up with such a move.

It seems that although the princess accepted what Li Yuan gave her, she might not agree with her father's behavior.

Otherwise, he would not let those two important things become his funeral objects.

"His Royal Highness is righteous!"

Cheng Yi couldn't help but said.

Seemingly recalling his wife's voice and smile, Chai Shao rarely had tenderness in his eyes.

"Duke Qiao, don't worry, your son will be back soon."

After saying this, Cheng Yi sent someone to send Chai Shao back to his yard.

As for the imperial decree and the so-called Emperor's Seal, instead of letting these two annoying things see the light of day, it is better to let them stay underground to accompany Princess Pingyang.

Suddenly, the sound of lightness kung fu falling on the roof reached Cheng Yi's ears.

"who!"

There was a loud shout outside the study.

Then there was the sound of you chasing me.

Cheng Yi stood up and took a few steps to the outside of the study. He looked up to the roof and saw a man in black who had been surrounded by the nursing yard of his house.

"Who are you? Why did you sneak into my general's mansion!"

The guards who surrounded the man in black yelled and asked.

The man in black didn't seem to take them seriously at all, and his posture was very contemptuous.

Under the bright moonlight, the man in black looked down and met Cheng Yi's sight.

"Be honest! Who are you!"

The nursing home asked again.

The man in black still didn't say a word, and after looking at Cheng Yi for a while, he was about to leave this place of right and wrong.

"Take people down!"

Seeing the other party's plan, Cheng Yi said lightly.

The guard received the order and swarmed towards the man in black.

The man in black still didn't pay attention to these people. He tapped his feet, and as a tile shattered, his whole body instantly rose two or three feet away from the ground.

However, just when he was about to float away, he saw the guards who surrounded him just now also rose into the air.

It wasn't until then that the man in black finally showed a little surprise in his eyes.

However, before he could make another move, the guard who had just asked the question flew towards him.

The guard's speed was so fast that the man in black couldn't react in time, the guard grabbed his shirt and threw him hard towards the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the man in black couldn't cope, and his body was already falling rapidly, so he had to cover his head with his hands to protect the most fatal place.

"Bang!!!"

With a muffled sound, the man in black slammed heavily on the ground paved with bluestone slabs, and the bluestone slabs shattered.

The man in black snorted, and spit out a big mouthful of blood, which soaked the face towel he used to cover his face.

Several nursing homes then landed firmly on the ground.

"Take him to the Yan family and take care of him."

Cheng Yi said another word.

"Yes!"

The nurse responded, picked up the dying man in black, and walked towards the dungeon in the mansion.

……

The next day, at dawn, Cheng Yi went to the dungeon.

This dungeon was built after Cheng Yi moved into the general. There are five interrogation rooms and two interrogation rooms in the dungeon.

After the man in black was captured last night, he was directly thrown into an interrogation room.

"What do you intend to do by sneaking into my general's mansion?"

Cheng Yi stood outside the interrogation room, looking expressionlessly at the man in black lying on the thatch pile.

The mask on the man in black's face has been taken off. His appearance is very ordinary, and he belongs to the type that is difficult to find out once he is humiliated.

Hearing Cheng Yi's question, the man in black chose to remain silent.

Cheng Yi snorted, but he was not angry, let alone urged, but continued: "If I guessed correctly, the reason why you appeared in the General's Mansion last night should be from Duke Qiao, right?"

The eyes of the man in black moved slightly, and a slightly surprised expression appeared on his face.

Seeing the expression of the man in black, Cheng Yi knew that he must have guessed right.

"To kill people? Or to arrest people?"

Cheng Yi asked again.

The man in black still chose to remain silent.

Cheng Yi shrugged, then waved in one direction.

Following Cheng Yi's movements, two people standing not far from him immediately came over.

These two people are old officials in the government office, and they are expert interrogators carefully selected by Cheng Yi.

"I've given it to you. I want to know the answer before noon."

After confessing, Cheng Yi simply left the dungeon.

The two old officials bowed towards his back, and then looked fiercely at the man in black.

Under the horrified eyes of the man in black, two old officials filed into the interrogation room.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Not long after, a shrill scream resounded through the entire dungeon.

Outside the dungeon, Cheng Yi folded his arms and leaned against a pillar.

Since the other party sent someone to the General's Mansion to inquire about the news, they should already know that Chai Shaoren is in the General's Mansion.

However, Cheng Yi frowned in thought, judging from the reaction of the man in black last night, he not only paid little attention to the general's mansion, but even me.

Judging from this situation, although the black hand behind the scenes has been active in Chang'an City recently, he is not very familiar with me.

Otherwise, the other party would not just send someone to inquire about the news in such a grandiose manner.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yi slowly closed his eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Underestimating the enemy is often the first step towards the end!

Before noon, Cheng Yi waited for less than a quarter of an hour outside the dungeon, and the stone door of the dungeon was slowly pushed open.

"General, the trial is over."

The old official said to Cheng Yi with a flattering smile.

Cheng Yi nodded, straightened up and stretched.

"I won't go in, tell me what you find out."

Cheng Yidao.

The old official bowed and said hurriedly.

"Returning to the general, according to the thief's confession, he visited the general's mansion at night because he was hired by someone. The person who hired him was very generous, but he never showed his face. Whenever he was ordered to do something, the person who showed up was different. beggars."

beggar?

Cheng Yi couldn't help snorting, it seemed that the person behind the scenes wasn't too stupid.

Let's listen to the old official's words, it's not the first time that the man in black has worked for this employer.

"Is he from Chang'an City?"

Cheng Yi asked again.

Chapter 93 Gene mutation?

The old official shook his head and said, "The thief confessed that he arrived in Chang'an City half a month ago."

It's only been half a month, no wonder you don't know anything about the general's mansion.

Cheng Yi knew it.

It can also be known from this that the person who hired him should not have lived in Chang'an City for a long time.

The old official took a sneak peek at Cheng Yi, seeing that he didn't intend to continue asking questions, so he took the initiative to continue talking.

"According to the thief, the night visit to the general was what the hired person ordered him to do five days ago. The thief said that in addition to night visits to the general's mansion, his employer also asked him to lure the Duke out of the general's mansion as much as possible."

After listening to the words in the prison, Cheng Yi fell into deep thought.

Five days ago was really the day before he returned to Chang'an City.

And judging from the employer's order, the other party obviously knew more about the power of the General's Mansion than the man in black, so he sent the man in black, who had no idea about the General's Mansion, to scout the way.

"okay, I get it."
