Three scaly horses galloped along the straight official road, and pedestrians on both sides looked sideways at them.
After leaving the city gate, Fan Rumeng left the scaled horse at the city gate, waved his sleeves, and summoned the flying boat.
The flying boat swelled in the wind and turned into the size of a fishing boat, with strange lines on the hull shining with gleaming light.
The three of them soared into the sky in a flying boat and soon saw Qin Xi's team.
The flying boat descended and stopped in front of Qin Xi's team.
"Be bold!"
The accompanying palace guards shouted loudly and drew out their long knives one after another. At the point where the long knives pointed, an icy-cold evil aura almost condensed into substance and rushed towards the three of them. The flying boat under their feet swayed slightly, obviously affected.
These royal guards are all elites who have been killed from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Although their individual strength is not very strong, when they get together, they can exert great lethality.
"We are from Supervisor Tiansi, and we need to talk to the Second Young Master if we have something to do!"
Fan Rumeng had a straight face, and his eyes fell on the heroic young man wearing exquisite silver armor among the guards.
Perhaps the name of Jian Tiansi had some effect. The silver-armored young man Ce Hu stepped forward, looked Fan Rumeng up and down, and said lazily: "What do the people of Jian Tiansi want from me?"
"I have received a secret message that the death row prisoner Yin Fu and others have sneaked into the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. I wonder if the Second Young Master knows about this?"
"It's ridiculous. How can it be that just a few death row prisoners can enter our majestic Zhenbei Prince's Mansion? Who did you listen to?"
Qin Xi squinted his eyes and his voice was cold.
In the past few days, he has been studying the movements of the demonic barbarian army. He has no extra thoughts on what is happening in the city, let alone taking in the death row prisoners. As the second son of Zhenbei King, I don’t know how many people want to cling to him.
A few death row inmates are nothing in his eyes.
"Could it be that the governor's office is trying to frame him?"
Qin Xi's heart moved. The more he thought about it, the more likely it became that the governor's office and the Prince of Zhenbei's office were at odds with each other. Among the excerpts presented at the Jian Yu Exhibition every year, seven out of ten were about impeachment of the Prince of Zhenbei.
"This is confidential, no comment."
Fan Rumeng didn't know that Qin Xi had begun to doubt the governor's office, and just replied lightly that the so-called secret protection was just an excuse.
Qin Xi felt annoyed when he heard this, "When I return to the city, I will personally ask Qi Qianhu for advice on this matter."
After saying that, he swung his long whip and hit the black tiger with two wings and two horns on his crotch. The black tiger let out a roar, and the sound was so loud that the one-horned scale horses of the surrounding guards retreated.
.
Then it took a step forward and turned into a black shadow and flew forward, and the surrounding palace guards quickly chased after it.
"Qingqing, do you see anything?"
On the flying boat, Fan Rumeng asked Li Qingqing.
"Judging from Qin Xi's actions and demeanor, it seems that he really doesn't know anything about the death row prisoners."
Li Qing looked at Niu Xiaosheng beside him. She was good at judging whether a person was lying from his subtle demeanor and movements, so as to capture more clues. This was also the reason why she was able to solve cases repeatedly and served as the head catcher in Qingshui County at a young age.
One of the reasons.
"If it's not Qin Xi, then there are only two siblings left, Qin Yi and Princess Huaiyu. Who do you think is more likely?"
Niu Xiaosheng asked.
When Fan Rumeng was questioning him just now, he could easily hear Qin Xi's thoughts through the power of his left ear, and learned from this that he indeed did not know anything about the prisoner, and even suspected that the governor's office wanted to frame him.
Li frowned slightly, and after a while, he said: "I think Princess Huaiyu is more likely."
"Princess Huaiyu?"
Fan Rumeng was a little surprised, "It's impossible for you to doubt her so much. Although Princess Huaiyu is a wild woman, she has raised some handsome men. Those prisoners on death row are all ferocious and very young. I'm afraid it's difficult to
Just like her eyes."
Li gently shook his head, "Sir, I had doubts about the eldest son Qin Yi before, but after meeting Qin Xi just now, this suspicion is gone. In the entire Zhenbei Palace, no one pays more attention to the eldest son Qin Yi than Qin Xi.
, if Qin Yi really took in those death row prisoners, do you think he would be indifferent?"
"What if Qin Yi hid Qin Xi's secrets?"
"If the prisoners on death row no longer control the North Palace, they might be able to hide it from Qin Xi."
Li looked at Niu Xiaosheng gently, because he was sure that he was the one on death row hiding in Zhenbei Palace.
"Uncle Master, can we meet Princess Huaiyu?"
Niu Xiaosheng looked at Fan Rumeng and asked if it was her. He would know it once he met her.
"This is not difficult. If it is Brother Qin Yi, he may not meet me, but I have some confidence in Princess Huaiyu."
Fan Rumeng first came to Youzhou as a hundred households not long ago, and her reputation and connections are very shallow. Unlike her senior brother Dao Ming, although he is also a hundred households, it has been four or five years since he was promoted from a local hundred households to an inspection hundred households.
The network resources she holds are naturally not comparable to hers.
But having few connections does not mean that she has none, and Princess Huaiyu is exactly one of them, and she still owes her a favor.
After the three of them returned to Youzhou City, they went straight to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. After handing in their invitations, a maid hurriedly came out of it not long after.
"Miss Fan, you are a step late. My princess has gone to Taoyuan. If you want to find her, you have to go there."
Taoyuan is the private property of Princess Huaiyu in the city. It is located in Taoshan in the west of the city. It is named after the mountains are full of peach trees.
So the three of them turned around and headed to Taoshan in the west of the city.
As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, a maid came to greet them, "Miss Fan, my princess has specially ordered your servant to welcome you here. Please follow your servant up the mountain."
Along the long stairs, halfway up the mountain, you will see a manor located in a pink peach blossom jungle.
This is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom. The peach trees all over the mountain are covered with pink flowers, and the fragrance of the flowers is astonishing.
Walking into Zhuangzi, there were bursts of sounds of silk and bamboo and the noise of men and women laughing.
Along the way, you can see many good-looking men and pretty women having fun.
The maid who led the way took the three of them to a stop outside a courtyard, and reported inside: "To the princess, Miss Fan is here."
Immediately, a lazy voice came from inside, "Come in quickly, Rumeng."
Fan Rumeng walked a few steps and passed through the courtyard gate, but Niu Xiaosheng and Li Qingqing were stopped.
"You two, the princess is meeting Miss Fan, please come with me."
The maid smiled and said to the two of them.
Fan Rumeng paused and said, "They are the people I brought."
The meaning in her words was obvious, she wanted to bring the two of them in.
"this--"
The maid's smile faltered and she looked at Fan Rumeng with some embarrassment.
"Forget it, let's come in together."
The sound came from the yard again.
The three of them entered the courtyard. They didn't go far when they smelled the strong aroma of wine. After walking a dozen or so steps, they passed through a bamboo forest and saw a huge pool, or rather a wine pool.
