When he learned that his son had been assassinated, Situ Pan immediately led his people to the courtyard where he was imprisoned outside the city. When he got there, he saw that Situ Pan had been stabbed in the abdomen, and he was pale and unconscious on the kang. He was very pitiful. The imperial doctor had already arrived. It was said that there was nothing serious, but that he needed to be nursed back to health carefully. Situ Pan sighed deeply and ordered him to be taken back to his home.
It turned out that because everyone around Situ Ke was taken away by Qin Sangu for interrogation, the princess selected some other people to serve. However, one of these eunuchs stabbed Situ Ke unprepared and committed suicide on the spot.
Qin and Feng looked at each other and frowned. Needless to say, this little eunuch must be carefree. Sure enough, they checked for several days and found no trace. Qin Sangu thought about it, Finally, he went to Rongguo Mansion and asked Jia Huan how to contact SHIELD. Jia Huan said: "As long as you inquire about them in the market, they will come to your door after a while."
Qin Sangu followed her instructions and went to the teahouse and restaurant to look for him. However, after only two days, in the evening, she saw Jia Xu waving to her from a small sesame cake stall on the roadside. Qin Sangu sighed silently and flew off her horse.
Jia Xu looked at her and said, "I overestimated the third shopkeeper." Yibi handed her a sesame seed cake.
Qin Sangu smiled bitterly and said: "Inquiring about the information, it turns out that you are better." She didn't mind it, and she seriously bit into the sesame cakes.
Jia Xu held the sesame cake in one hand and the horse in the other, walking side by side with him, saying: "I heard that you are investigating the person who assassinated His Highness the Second Highness recently. I dare to ask the third shopkeeper, do you know who did it, and you did it just to cover it up?" Check it, or you haven’t guessed it at all?”
Sangu Qin was startled and said honestly: "I didn't guess it at all. We really can't understand why they still want to assassinate His Highness the Second Highness after their plan has been broken."
Jia Xu said calmly: "The third shopkeeper is in the middle of the situation and cannot be defeated. You just think that the son of the King of Shu has been sent to the outside of Chengdu for annoying his father, and there is news that someone wants to assassinate him. The enemy has planned He was busy killing people and silencing them; but he was suddenly stabbed and was not seriously injured. The King of Shu immediately took him back to his home."
Qin Sangu took a breath.
"Spring will be in three days." Jia Xu said, "For the sons of King Yan, this day is really important. Compared with King Yan, they are very poor and have few talents at hand."
After a while, Qin Sangu asked: "According to the general, does the princess know?"
Jia Xu glanced at her: "What do you think?"
Qin Sangu couldn't help gritting her teeth and sneered: "That's what the general said. If this matter had been in Shu, we would have guessed it long ago."
Jia Xu asked with a smile: "The third shopkeeper looked unkind, but the princess took the opportunity to make a fuss, which made you lose face."
Qin Sangu was silent for a moment, then she forced a smile and said, "We made a lot of trouble." After a while, she said sarcastically, "Not only is it shameless, it's a slap in the face."
Jia Xu's eyes suddenly turned cold. The two of them walked away for a while, and Jia Xu said, "May I ask, Master Feng, can you get any information from Mr. Han?"
Qin Sangu said: "Say it's King Lu."
Jia Xu immediately said: "Impossible. Even if Nezha turned against King Yan, how could he have taken refuge with him? He killed the spies sent by King Lu to the Rongguo Mansion, and he exposed the spies buried in the Gao family in Ping'an Prefecture."
Qin Sangu said: "The King of Lu is not wise and is easily deceived by others."
Jia Xu said: "Four years ago, he was still the eldest prince. He only knew how to plunder the people's wealth. How could he have the ability to carry out such a far-reaching strategy? Unless he was helped by Liu Eunuch. At that time, Liu Eunuch wouldn't have to deal with the son of King Yan. They were still A group of people."
Qin Sangu had just taken a bite of the sesame cake, her eyes lit up when she heard this, and she swallowed it hurriedly: "That's right! It was Eunuch Liu who did it to ensure that everything was not done. It's just not for the eldest prince, but to prepare for the next casual move, so that he can give Yan some time in the future. The king is just shameless."
Jia Xu hurriedly took the sesame cake away from his mouth and rushed to say: "That's right. I heard that Eunuch Liu and Concubine Hui are like father and daughter. I'm sure Concubine Hui doesn't know about this, and she might have taken some of Eunuch Liu's hands. People. Liu Tong is surrounded by people from Concubine Hui."
Qin Sangu frowned and said, "Even if Cong'er turns against King Yan, how can she help King Chen?"
Jia Xu chuckled and said, "Lin Hai."
Qin Sangu shook her head: "King Chen once forced Master Lin's daughter out of the capital, and Master Lin was filled with resentment."
"So what." Jia Xu said with a smile, "Master Lin also has resentment towards the Supreme Emperor, so why not work for him? It should be noted that if the Supreme Emperor is still here, King Chen will be the prince now. Resentment will return to resentment, and hatred will return. Hate, loyalty is still loyalty. Just like you officials, even if you are slapped in the face by Princess Yan, you still have to work for the master."
Qin Sangu frowned and took a long bite of the sesame seed cake.
Jia Xu swallowed the sesame cakes in several mouthfuls and jumped on his horse: "Today is the end of helping each other." He patted the horse and took two steps, then stepped back, leaned into Qin Sangu's ear and whispered, "Three shopkeepers, if you wish, Lu Lin It's really a nice place to go, you don't have to look at people, and you won't get scratched by bitches." She immediately withdrew and left. Qin Sangu looked at him riding his horse leisurely through the afterglow of the setting sun, feeling a little bit amused, but also a little bit dumbfounded. envious.
If you don't have a clue, you are often at a loss. If you know the answer, it will be easier to push back. Qin Sangu found the little eunuch's two brothers and one sister in a village in just two days, and immediately found out that the village was the princess. His younger brother Lou Gui bought it privately and went straight to Prince Yan's Mansion to report it to Situ Pan without waiting.
Situ Pan, even though he was a fool, understood what was going on, and sneered: "Qian'er heard that he has been close to the boss recently. It turns out that he is just in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han. In this case..." He suddenly said She waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I don't care." Qin Sangu frowned. Situ Pan saw it and asked, "You think it's inappropriate?"
Qin Sangu said: "It is inconvenient for me to interfere with the prince's family affairs. I just think that if the prince does nothing and follows the temperament of His Highness, I am afraid that he will not think that the prince is testing his temperament. Instead, he will take it as the prince orders him to do whatever he wants." Mr. Lou must be reused."
Situ Pan also frowned when he heard this, and after a while he said, "In your opinion, what kind of temperament does the master have?"
Qin Sangu said: "I didn't think so. I just heard Cong'er said something from one of his masters in the early years. It doesn't matter the temperament of the master. Everyone has his own advantages. Those who are capable can make decisions, and those who are incompetent are willing to listen to advice. All are good. good."
Situ Pan sighed: "Who is so talented that he can do everything?" After thinking for a while, he ordered Situ Jian to stay in the courtyard to recover from his injuries and not go out, and ordered Lou Gui to go and take care of him.
After talking about some other important matters, Qin Sangu said goodbye and came out. She walked through the corridor and saw Princess Lou standing alone on the railing. She then stepped forward and said a blessing.
The princess looked at her with a smile for a long time and said, "Qin Si, I always thought you were a smart person."
Qin Sangu lowered her head and said, "I don't dare."
The princess stared at her coldly for as long as she had a cup of tea, but Qin Sangu remained calm and said, "Jian'er is the prince's biological son and your master."
Qin Sangu said: "I only have one master, the prince. Whatever the prince orders his subordinates to investigate, they will investigate."
The princess narrowed her eyes: "It's not easy to be a lonely minister. Have you forgotten that Yue'er is also my son?"
Qin Sangu said: "Your Majesty's family affairs are definitely not something that subordinates can interfere with."
The princess looked at her husband again: "Although I don't ask questions, I should have some confidence in my heart. I still have the final say in front of my son. Although the third shopkeeper is rare, the prince has no shortage of talents."
Qin Sangu said: "Throughout the ages, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics."
The princess frowned, rolled up her sleeves and left.
Qin Sangu just had nothing to do, so she went out to get on her horse and walked home leisurely. When she walked to the sesame cake stall last time, she saw Jia Xu holding the horse and waiting there again. She couldn't help but smile. "The news about the general is fast." She jumped off the horse. Come.
Jia Xu handed her another sesame seed cake and said, "The third shopkeeper is very happy today."
Qin Sangu said: "I'll feel more at ease now that I've finished my errand."
Jia Xu said: "I just have to remind King Yan to strengthen the protection of his second son."
Qin Sangu asked curiously: "They still don't give up?"
"Now the situation has changed." Jia Xu said, "Princess Yan only has one younger brother. Now her younger brother is tied to the Second Highness. The Second Highness is seeing a fall from grace. It is difficult for him to get ahead. The Princess must be anxious. She has two. Son, she used to choose the second eldest son, but now she will not choose the eldest son. It happened that the princess just ordered her younger brother to help the prince go there a few days ago. Lou Gui has always been by the second eldest son's side, and the eldest son has known that his mother doted on his younger brother for many years. I'm used to it. After the second child committed suicide, his uncle came to him instead. It was obvious that he was ordered by his mother. The prince is just a child, how can he be unhappy with his mother's care? But look at how little he has done. A few days later, Lou Gui was taken away, along with his mother's care. How did he feel in his heart? He was always a little unhappy. He was not a cunning person, so it was difficult to conceal this unhappiness, and he would leak some of it to others. Look."
Qin Sangu frowned and said: "General, the prince wants to kill his younger brother? According to his temperament, he won't."
Jia Xu said: "People's temperament can change, let alone born in the Tian family. Furthermore, there are some ruthless characters below him. Now His Highness the Second Highness and the Lou family have been tied together; if I were the King of Jin, King Wu, King Chen of Shu, Waiting for any one of them, we just need to kill the Second Highness and put the blame on the Crown Prince, and the custody will cause civil strife in Prince Yan's palace for a while."
Qin Sangu thought about it for a long time and then asked: "General, does he know which family it is?"
Jia Xu said: "It's just thinking in vain. There are many capable people in the world. If I can think of it, others can think of it. Even if I haven't thought of it before, it will be easy to think of it when I hear about the assassination of His Highness. Anyway, add some guards. Always be prepared.”
Qin Sangu glanced at him: "Why are you so troubled?"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "It's okay to be troubled occasionally. By the way, may I ask the third shopkeeper and Mr. Feng if they have any evidence?"
Qin Sangu was confused: "What evidence?"
"The third shopkeeper is a sensible person, why bother pretending to be confused." Jia Xu raised his eyes and looked into the distance, "I don't believe that Mr. Feng has no one beside King Chen."
Qin Sangu said with a smile: "I don't know this. Feng Ziying and I are not in charge of the same thing."
Jia Xu sighed softly and pursed his lips. He felt a bit like the two boys from the Jia family. "The third shopkeeper is not kind. We are also working in a small business. It is not easy to make two bucks." He took a bite of the sesame seed cake. , flew onto his horse, and walked away leisurely with the setting sun on his shoulders.
Qin Sangu stood and saw that he had disappeared, lowered her head and smiled, then turned around and bought another sesame seed cake, which she also ate and went home immediately.
The next day was the meeting, and the emperor's sons were admitted to the hospital for scientific examination. Zhao Cheng led the people from the Wucheng Military and Horse Division to patrol the streets. Suddenly someone came to report that there was a scholar dying in an alley near the Gongyuan, so he rushed there in person.
.
I saw that the scholar, who was about forty years old, was thrown into the alley. He was seriously injured and had no energy left. Zhao Cheng knew at the first glance that there was nothing he could do to save him, so he hurriedly asked: "Who hurt you?"
"
The scholar held on and said four words: "Black and white evil spirits." He died immediately.
Zhao Cheng has been in charge of the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities for many years and is well aware of the green forest affairs. However, he has never heard of the name of a black and white evil spirit, and he can't help but feel worried. He has to send people around to find out where the missing scholar is. Yingongyuan has just filled the capital with people.
The scholar locked most of the room in, but he really couldn't find out who was missing, so he had to draw a picture and post it up for now.
Not long after, Qin Sangu passed by the street and looked at him. She suddenly felt that he looked familiar and went to their Yamen to have a look. Although the man was dead, his stature and appearance were indeed quite similar to the Mr. Wei Jia Lan said, so she
He sent someone to call Jia Huan. Jia Huan heard about it and personally led Jia Lan over to identify him.
Jia Lan just took one look and fell asleep and burst into tears, saying, "It's our Mr. Wei."
Jia Huanqi said: "Didn't you silence yourself long ago? Do you know who did it?"
Zhao Chengzheng stood by and said hurriedly: "He said before he died, what is the evil of black and white?"
Jia Huan frowned and said: "It's obviously the name of Green Forest. Why did you get involved with the Green Forest people? Is there something wrong with King E?"
Qin Sangu asked: "What do you have to do with King E?"
Jia Huan said: "There are many green forest people living in Prince E's palace."
Qin Sangu said: "Not necessarily. Nowadays, the kings are divided. As long as they have money, Green Forest people are willing to do such murders. But I have never heard of any black and white evil spirits."
Jia Lan said: "Aren't the black and white evil spirits Zhang Shun and the black whirlwind Li Kui? The black and white evil spirits are both water and land." Let his uncle knock a chestnut.
Sangu Qin sighed: "Obviously he is not from the capital anymore." She secretly planned to go back to SHIELD to find out more.
At this time, Jia Xu was returning to his house in Xiaohuazhi Lane from outside. Shi Li was practicing kung fu with his legs hooked on a tree. He said: "The fifth master came back just in time. A brother came over to say something. He was about to
Please give me instructions from the fifth master."
"What's the matter?"
"Is it possible to take on the murderous job?"
Jia Xu said: "Of course. We just have to find out who killed and why."
Shi Li still said backwards: "The customer is indeed a rich man, but we are afraid that we cannot kill him."
"Why can't he kill him?" Jia Xu poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. "It just depends on the price. If he wants to kill King Yan, it will naturally be more expensive."
Shi Li said: "Master Huan must be crazy." He jumped down and stood firmly on the ground, "The customer is Princess Yan, and the money is easy to negotiate."
Jia Xu's heart moved: "Who does she want to kill?"
"Shopkeeper Qin San from the west of the city. Can we take this business?... Ouch, what are you doing all the time!"
There were just a few "bang-bang" sounds, and a tea cup brushed against Shi Li's forehead and fell to the ground. The fragments flew apart. Jia Xu shouted gloomily: "Take it!"
