Chapter 183: The Bone Boat Records: The Sequential Bone Chapter 183: An Gaoqiu was so scared that his back was covered with cold sweat. He understood what Qin Lang meant that Qin Lang was brainwashing the little emperor, but fortunately the only three of them were here.

Qin Lang used all his skills, and the comics he drew made the little emperor feel excited, and the little emperor's annoying laughter echoed in the imperial study.

Qin Lang naturally did not forget the evidence of destruction, and asked An Gaoqiu to burn his painting of Prince Qing.

Qin Lang stayed in the imperial study for an hour, and the little emperor was completely amused by him. It was not until the Empress Dowager Xiao Zirong came over to remind him that the class was officially over.

Xiao Zirong did not come in close contact, so although Qin Lang stayed in the palace for a long enough time today, he had no chance to meet her.

When An Gaoqiu saw him leave, he saw no one around and lowered his voice: "Don't do this again in the future. If the empress dowager knows, it will cause death."

"What will the Empress Dowager plan to deal with Prince Qing?"

An Gaoqiu looked around again, sighed and said, "Since you have already separated your relationship, why bother yourself?"

Qin Lang knew that An Gaoqiu was just a eunuch, and it was already a righteous and righteous person to do this for him. He respectfully said: "Thank you, Eunuch An, for your kindness. Qin Lang will repay you in the future."

An Gaoqiu said: "At most we are not in vain, so you and our family don't have to be so polite." He did appreciate Qin Lang, but Qin Lang's bold actions also made him feel frightened.

Things did not go smoothly. Pang Wenfeng quickly helped Qin Lang find out that the families of those people were not in Yongdu. The family of the housekeeper of the royal mansion had returned home two days ago, which proved that the incident that happened in the palace had been planned, but he checked the so-called witnesses of the housekeeper of the royal mansion clearly.

At the third hour of Shen on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yuan Menkun came to give Qin Lang a hundred taels of gold to compensate the vase. This time, not only did he come, but He Shanming also came.

Because of the flyers circulating everywhere, He Shanming has become much more famous in Yongdu in the past two days. When the people heard about this so-called rumor, they spread it as the truth. Now many people think that Prince Qing was wronged and that Prince Liang was drowned by He Shanming. In fact, this matter itself is worth pondering. It would be fine if King Liang accidentally drowned in Prince Qing's Mansion. No one would believe that Prince Qing actually killed people on the day his daughter got married, and that the person was Yu's brother. As long as he was not a fool, he would not do this.

After all, the Jinlin Guard is the Royal Guard and is also a superior existence among the various military forces in Yongdu. There has never been such a big mistake in the past.

Yuan Menkun not only admitted to paying 100 taels of gold, but also left all the weapons of the Jinlin Guard who participated in the search operation that day to mortgage them at Qin Lang's house. After He Shanming learned about this, he lamented that this guy was stupid, and realized that Qin Lang should have done this for him.

This time I visited, Qin Lang happened to be away, and I didn’t go too far, just went to Tiance Mansion.

Gu Xiefei and Wang Houting have been there recently. Qin Lang expected someone to visit these two days, so he specifically told me that it would be best if someone guarded the family.

Gu Xiefei saw from the crack of the door that it was them, and he didn't even open the door.

A group of golden scale guards wanted to have an attack, but He Shanming stopped them and sent one person to Tiance Mansion to find Qin Lang back.

Today, Ji Hongcai made a special trip to Qin Lang. He knew everything about Qin Lang clearly, but Ji Hongcai never contacted Qin Lang these days, mainly because the situation was not clear, and he didn't know whether this storm would bring Qin Lang into it. It was not until yesterday that he got the exact news that Qin Lang was Xuan entered the palace and was responsible for teaching the painting of the little emperor, and was deeply loved by the emperor that he was sure that this storm against Prince Qing would not affect Qin Lang for the time being.

He took the initiative to come over to Qin Lang, and was also to convey something. The Empress Dowager Xiao Zirong gave Qin Lang a dragon token and specially asked him to transfer it. Qin Lang could enter the palace at any time with this token. The little emperor was very obsessed with learning painting. The Empress Dowager meant that Qin Lang entered the palace every month on the seventh day, that is, the seventh day, the seventh day, the seventh day, and the twenty-seventh day.

Ji Hongcai conveyed the Queen Mother's meaning and handed the Panlong token to Qin Lang. In fact, this thing is just for the convenience of entering and leaving the palace. It is impossible to walk around in and out of the palace. It still requires a dedicated person to lead it. However, the token is undoubtedly a symbol of identity and status. Ji Hongcai has been able to survive for so many years and get a token.

Ji Hong had just told Qin Lang that the Jinlin Guard had come here to inform Qin Lang, and the two deputy commanders He Shanming and Yuan Menkun were waiting at his doorstep.

Qin Lang asked the Jinlin Guard to go back first and drag Ji Hongcai to help him testify.

Ji Hongcai didn't want to get involved, but Qin Lang invited him over with all his might.

The two came to Jixiang Lane. He Shanming and Yuan Menkun had been waiting outside for a while with six Jinlin Guards. Unlike last time, they were all wearing casual clothes. It seemed that today was a private visit, not a business.

Seeing Ji Hongcai coming in person, He Shanming and the others hurried over to see the ceremony. Although Ji Hongcai had no real power, his official rank was still thoughtful in terms of etiquette.

Qin Lang smiled and said, "Brother He is here too. Qin Lang is rude. Lao Gu, open the door!"

Gu Xiefei then opened the door and said to Yuan Menkun in front of so many people: "Did you owe us the gold?"

Yuan Menkun blushed. In fact, he clearly felt that he had been cheated by Qin Lang, but he didn't blame him for being stupid, so why did he easily fall into the trap of others?

Before Ji Hongcai could figure out the specific situation, Qin Lang deliberately said: "I just went to find Master Ji to report this matter, but before I could tell, they arrived."

Jinlinwei came here to search Ji Hong and found out, but he didn't know about the vase.

Yuan Menkun was afraid that Qin Lang would tell this matter and said first: "It's nothing big, the misunderstanding has been explained clearly, so we don't need to mention it anymore."

When Qin Lang saw his fearful and trepidation, he secretly wanted to laugh in his heart. Two golden scale guards brought the prepared gold. Qin Lang asked Gu Xiefei to take out the IOU and hand it to Yuan Menkun. Yuan Menkun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After solving Yuan Menkun’s case, He Shanming asked Yuan Menkun to take their weapons away with the Golden Scale Guard.

Ji Hongcai looked at it and laughed in his heart. The Golden Scale Guard was used to being domineering in Yong. This person was very disappointed. As Sima of Tiance Mansion, Ji Hongcai also complained about their behavior of coming to search. Although he knew that these people were coming to Qin Lang, he searched the territory of Tiance Mansion after all. When he came to search, he didn't even call him, the highest official, and he was really arrogant.

Ji Hongcai was unhappy but he was not easy to show it. Where was He Shanming's background? He Dangzhong was the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty, and he was not offended by Ji Hongcai.

Qin Lang said: "It's the first time Brother He has come here. Do you want me to take you to visit?"

He Shanming heard the ridicule in his words and smiled slightly, "No need, the search was the order of the superior. We were just ordered to do it. I hope Master Ji, Brother Qin, don't be surprised."

Ji Hongcai smiled and said, "It is the right thing to enforce the law impartially, and it is the same if I were." The words mean that if you violated me one day, I will not give you any mercy.

Qin Lang said: "I didn't expect this incident to alarm Brother He."

He Shanming smiled and said, "Yuan Menkun is not only my colleague but also my friend. I heard that he and Brother Qin had some misunderstandings, so I naturally want to come and explain it."

Qin Lang said: "It's nothing big."

He Shanming looked up at the sky. It was approaching the hour of You, so he proposed to invite them to dinner as a plea.

Ji Hongcai was disrespectful. Qin Lang felt that He Shanming was not just a meal. The biggest suspect in Liang's death in Prince Qing's Mansion was He Shanming, so Qin Lang used the leaflet to launch a public opinion offensive. Previously, Yin Yuan Menkun was also trying to alert the enemy. The intention was to put pressure on He Shanming.

He Shanming took the initiative to come to the door today, which proves that he can't hold back.

He Shanming invited Gu Xiefei and Wang Houting to go with him. Both of them said that there was something wrong. They knew that He Shanming was not simple. He looked rough and bold on the surface, but in fact he was a person with super wise and scheming. This time they distributed the flyers, and they also knew He Shanming's purpose. If He Shanming left, he would find the flaws.

He Shanming invited them to have dinner at Chunxue Tower. The original Chunxue Tower was destroyed in the last assassination of He Shanming. Of course, it was impossible to rebuild it in such a short time. A restaurant was rebuilt near the original site and opened after a simple decoration.

When he arrived in front of Chunxue Tower, He Shanming stopped and said to Qin Lang: "Last time, thanks to Brother Qin, who saved me."

Qin Lang said: "I am worried about the world. With Brother He's cultivation level, killers like you will not pose a threat to you."

Ji Hongcai then realized that there was such an allusion when Chunxue Tower was destroyed, and he smiled and said, "That's what you two are still friends in times of distress."

While the three were about to enter, the group rode their horses to the Chunxue Tower.

Qin Lang looked up and saw that it was not that enemies were not gathering, but that the leader was Zhang Yanzong, the sixth prince of Dayong. He was surrounded by his master, Zhao Shituo, the national teacher of Daye Kingdom, and four Daye Kingdom warriors were accompanied by them.

Chunxue Tower is the most famous restaurant in Yongdu. It is not uncommon to meet acquaintances here, but today’s events are a bit too coincidental. Qin Lang thought to himself that He Shanming invited them to come. What was wrong with him shouldn’t have been arranged by him on purpose? Hope it was just a coincidence. Qin Lang didn’t want to be too troublesome and walked towards Chunxue Tower.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Yanzong said loudly: "Isn't that the Mama of the County?"

Qin Lang had no choice but to stop, hold his fists and salute, "The Sixth Prince is here to have a meal too?"

Zhang Yanzong turned over and dismounted and returned the salute to Qin Lang. His eyes fell on He Shanming's face: "President He is here too?"

He Shanming smiled and said, "I happened to have an appointment with Lord Ji and the others for dinner."

Zhao Shituo said: "Is this the Lord Ji from Tiance Mansion?"

Ji Hongcai bowed his waist and was hunched. He was not very good-looking and had no temperament. Among the three, he had the highest official position, but he was the one who looked the most inconspicuous. He smiled and said, "Hello Master Zhao, we met ten years ago."

Ji Hongcai was on a mission to Daye Kingdom five years ago. He had a brief exchange with Zhao Shituo at that time, but it had changed a lot in ten years. Unexpectedly, Zhao Shituo recognized him at first sight.

Zhang Yanzong said: "Each encounter means fate, I will be the host today."

He Shanming said: "No, I must be the host today, so I can do my best to the landlords."

Qin Lang thought to himself, you two were talking and talking and then they went to the table. Have you asked me if you had it?

He Shanming and Zhao Shituo have already begun to reminisce about the past. On the surface, they have a lot of fun talks. He Shanming and Zhang Yanzong seem to be quite in love, but Qin Lang is a relatively lonely person at the scene.

He Shanming asked for the private room on the third floor. At this time, Yuan Menkun, Cao Sheng and Li Yuting had arrived, but He Shanming asked Yuan Menkun to invite them to come and drink, which proved that today was a carefully prepared wine party.

He Shanming invited Zhang Yanzong to sit down. He came from afar, not to mention that Zhang Yanzong was originally the sixth prince of Daye Kingdom, and he could afford his status. Ji Hongcai sat on Zhang Yanzong's left hand and Zhao Shituo sat on his right hand. If Qin Lang had the status of a county horse, it would be his turn to take the seat next, but the court had issued an order to announce the abolition of his engagement with Long Xixi. Although he and Long Xixi had worshipped the world, the status of a county horse was still not recognized, so He Shanming, Cao Sheng, Li Yuting, Yuan Menkun, and Qin Lang were arranged in the last seat.

Ji Hongcai is such an old master. You can tell at a glance that He Shanming's sorting today is obviously suspected of being neglected by Qin Lang. Among these people, Ji Hongcai is of the same age as Zhao Shituo. The others are either princes and grandsons or sons of high-ranking officials. Ji Hongcai is not convenient to speak, so he just pretends not to see anything.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Yuting said, "Brother Qin, I feel relieved when I see you are fine. I thought you were also under house arrest in Prince Qing's Mansion."

Qin Lang smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Li." He began to re-evaluate Li Yuting in his heart. In fact, he didn't have a deep friendship with these princes and nobles. At that time, Cao Sheng took the initiative to make friends with him. No one was a fool. Even though he knew that he was in trouble, he deliberately sprinkled salt on the wound. Qin Lang speculated that Li Yuting was probably the pioneer of He Shanming.

There is no good banquet, and today's banquet is all for me.

Zhang Yanzong sighed and said, "I heard that Prince Qing was in trouble. Prince Qing's mansion was enfeoffed and Prince Xixi was also under house arrest. Qin County's horse was really able to take it and let it go, and his mood seemed not affected."

Li Yuting said: "Your Highness doesn't know that Qin Lang is not a county horse now. The engagement between him and Prince Xixi has been abolished, so Qin Lang and Prince Qing have no relationship." On the surface, he was speaking to Qin Lang and helping Qin Lang abandon his relationship with Prince Qing, but in fact he was opening up the topic.

Zhang Yanzong said: "Qin Lang, I originally respected you as a hero, but what you did is really despicable. The couple are the same forest birds, and they fly away from each other when the disaster strikes. Is this worthy of Princess Xixi?"

He Shanming said: "Sixth Prince calmed down. In fact, I can't blame Brother Qin for this matter, and it all started because of the prince."

Qin Lang said: "The sixth prince's words are deeply touching my heart. But even though I know that the disaster is coming, do you want to die together? The emperor is wise and knows that I have nothing to do with the affairs of the royal palace, so I have not held me accountable. Of course, I have to thank Brother He for more. If Brother He had not helped me clear the suspicion, I would have been a prisoner at the ranks."

He Shanming heard something in Qin Lang's words, and he smiled and said, "No need to thank me, I haven't spoken for you."

Li Yuting said: "It's just a pity that Princess Xixi is going to get married with Brother Qin, but I didn't expect that if I encounter such a thing, Brother Qin, you want to be more open."

Qin Lang was really annoyed by this Li Yuting, fanning the Yinfeng and lit the ghost fire. Do you really think he is very smart? If it weren't for him, who would regard him as a human being? Qin Lang sighed deliberately and said, "At this point, I have to open it. I can't do the sage. I just hope that the princess will have a good fortune."

Zhang Yanzong said: "A good person has his own appearance. Do you plan to ignore him? Mingzhe protects himself and gets away from him. Why did Princess Xixi choose a coward like you?"

Ji Hongcai didn't want to ask, but after hearing this, he realized that today was a Hongmen Banquet against Qin Lang. As Qin Lang's boss, if he didn't say anything, he would be dissatisfied. He coughed and said, "The sixth prince is serious. The case is not clear now, everything is under investigation. The emperor has not convicted Prince Qing. Qin Lang has been working hard for the princess' affairs these days, right? Commander He?"

He Shanming sighed and said, "This case is currently under the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice. Lord Chen personally tried it. I heard that the evidence is conclusive, I am afraid that Prince Qing will be in trouble this time."

Qin Lang stood up and said, "Sorry, I'll go and make some convenience."

Zhang Yanzong sneered: "You should run away, right?"

Qin Lang smiled and said, "You, a guest who has not left, why am I willing to leave? I will go back." When I passed by Li Yuting, I accidentally tripped and almost fell. Fortunately, Li Yuting helped him.

Qin Lang patted Li Yuting on the shoulder and said thank you.

Cao Sheng never talked much when he came here today. Seeing Qin Lang getting up, he also accompanied Qin Lang. After going out, Cao Sheng said, "Brother Qin, I really don't know that Zhang Yanzong is here too."

Qin Lang smiled and said, "Just coincidence."
