Kyoto Prefecture, the east gate of the prefectural city, although it is still winter moon, the bright and dazzling sunshine really makes Kong Xu feel a little uncomfortable.

Just after midnight, Kong Xu had been waiting here for an hour and a half, but not a single person came.

"Sir, it's already past time. There is no news about the eldest prince yet. Should we leave or continue to wait?"

Kong Xu is also very troubled by this problem. After all, it is already past the end of time. If he waits any longer, he doesn't know when.

Thinking of this, Kong Xu said to Dongzi: "If we don't see the eldest prince in a quarter of an hour, we will go back to the house. Also, go ahead and greet the eldest prince to see if anything happened to him on the way.

, I can help you when the time comes."

Dongzi jumped on the horse and drove away towards Juechen in the distance.

Kong Xu sat on the stone by the side of the road a little bored. Originally, Kong Xu did not bring his entourage when he came out this time, but just let Dongzi follow him. Now Dongzi rode away, and only Kong Xu was left here.

.

However, behind Kong Xu, there were still a few soldiers guarding the Kyoto city gate. Kong Xu was bored now, so he chatted with them for a few words.

The soldiers guarding the city gate are not as strict as the soldiers patrolling the streets in the city. However, when someone enters or leaves the city, they will come forward to check. Although Kyoto Prefecture is large and prosperous, in the end,

There won't be too many people coming in and out all day long. It's probably enough to leave one or two people there to watch, and the rest are just used as guards and on duty.

Since I was waiting for my shift, I had time to come over and chat with Kong Xu.

The Fu Bing himself is from the Kyoto Prefecture, so he naturally knows the Kyoto Prefecture Governor Kong Xukong, Mr. Kong. Since Mr. Kong wants to chat with him, there is no reason not to come and chat with him.

In this way, since Dongzi left, Kong Xu was not lonely. He was quickly surrounded by three or five government soldiers waiting for their turn. They were talking to each other. Kong Xu himself was in Kyoto.

Fu is famous for his good temper, so he is naturally easy-going in the impression of these Fu soldiers. It is also because of this that the Fu Yin can continue chatting with these Fu soldiers.

"Sir, have you ever heard of Shuizhu'er? I heard that she was born in Tingyuxuan. Although she only debuted for less than half a year, her talent and fame are comparable to those of Su Ling in Tianxiang Tower.

Compared with other children, I don’t know what means Ting Yuxuan used to train such a talented girl."

"Yes, yes, I know

Talking about Shuizhu'er, I heard that there was a performance in Xuanqing Mansion a few days ago. At that time, Shuizhu'er was amazing with her skills and her beauty overwhelmed the whole audience. It's a pity that we are just soldiers, how can we have the chance to see it?

It looks like water beads."

"This Shuizhu'er... I actually think of Mr. Yushitai Shui, who was bloodbathed by Jianghu forces a few years ago. The young lady in his family's nickname seems to be this Shuizhu'er."

"The lady at Yushitai is called Shui Zhu, and the one from Ting Yuxuan is called Shui Zhu'er. You fool, can these two be the same? What's more, Master Shui's family has been wiped out, and I was the one who helped find him at that time.

It was buried somewhere."

"No, didn't you say that the lady from Shui's family had her face completely disfigured and her identity could not be identified?"

"Are you also a fool? Do you dare to question the orders given by the Prince of Supervision at that time? Do you want the Supervision Department to..."

Before the last word "dog" came out of Fu Bing's mouth, he was stopped by Kong Xu's cough.

The soldier who spoke naturally also reacted. Knowing that he had almost entered the gate of hell, he swallowed, and the cold sweat on his back instantly soaked into his insides.

"Don't say any more, be careful not to be overheard by those people."

Several other soldiers agreed with this, so they all nodded in agreement, and at the same time chose silence in a tacit understanding.

The originally lively scene suddenly became extremely quiet, which really made Kong Xu a little uncomfortable, but it was true that the longer these soldiers stayed here, the greater the possibility of losing their lives because of their unobtrusive talk, so he had to deal with a few waiting soldiers.

The officer on duty waved his hand.

"It's almost time. Let's all disperse. I'll go to Huang Ziming to sue you for neglecting your duties."

The Huang Ziming mentioned by Kong Xu was the current garrison commander, and naturally he was also the immediate boss of the rotating soldiers in front of him.

When several soldiers saw Master Kong actually moving out of the garrison, they had no choice but to bow their hands to Kong Xu and left quickly, leaving no one staying here at all.

When Kong Xu saw several soldiers leaving, he thought carefully about what they said. As the governor of Kyoto, Kong Xu naturally knew about the incident a year ago. Lord Yushitai Shui was in the court.

The prince was impeached for forming a clique for personal gain and having bad conduct. Later, for some unknown reason, he offended the powerful forces in the world and was wiped out overnight.

The Yushitai family did have a daughter, but she was called Shui'er, but she was not called Shuizhu as they said. Last year, Kong Xu went to Yushitai.

I met her once when I was a guest at the house. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, she was very well-behaved and smart. At that time, it seemed that she had broken something, and Mrs. Shui was scolding the eldest lady there.

"Hey, it's such a pity for that family."

At that time, all the members of the Yushitai were wiped out, which naturally alarmed the entire Kyoto Prefecture. Originally, this matter should have been handled by the Yasi Capital Prefecture, which was in the hands of King Chu Boyu of Liang. However, the prince took advantage of the power of supervising the country and forced the matter to be handled.

After being detained, the government officials were not allowed to take over. Later, the prince did not know what method he used to find an unknown political force, and said that he was the mastermind of this matter.

An old man like Kong Xu can naturally see the prince's ulterior motives. I guess that unknown little family was just unlucky enough to be caught by the prince as a scapegoat. As for the real murderer, haha, it is naturally self-evident.

.

Naturally, Kong Xu was not the only one who noticed the prince's tricks, but because of the royal family's reputation, no one came forward to say anything. You know, whether this matter is said well or not, the consequences should be

None of them are much better than Master Shui.

Therefore, for the sake of protecting one's own safety, all sensible people tacitly chose to acquiesce.

In fact, there was another factor that made them collectively acquiesce, and that was Chu Boxiong who also acquiesced.

"The team needs to stand still, Master Shui. Don't blame me for not helping you."

Kong Xu muttered something in his mouth, then stretched and stood up from the ground.

By this time, half an hour had passed.

"grown ups······"

The sound of horse hooves in the distance was like playing a tune from Tianxiang Tower, beating and hitting the ground rhythmically for a long time.

Dongzi is back.

"Dongzi, have you found the eldest prince?"

"Found it."

"Where are they?"

"I rested at a post station twenty miles away. I said I wouldn't be back until tomorrow."

"Mom! Go back home!"

Saying this, Kong Xu took the lead in getting into the carriage.

Just when Toko pulled up the reins and whipped his horse, a figure hurriedly ran out of Kyoto Prefecture.
Chapter completed!
