The Prince Zhao's Mansion in the West was the first prince's palace with a different surname in the Chu Kingdom. Its weight and status were quite high. At this time, the siege of Prince Zhao's Mansion was already known throughout the city.
If this matter cannot be resolved satisfactorily, I am afraid that even if Di Renjie and Bao Zheng personally come to deal with the aftermath, they will become famous as people who broke into Prince Zhao's Mansion secretly.
Once King Zhao returned triumphantly and made military exploits again, knowing that such an incident happened tonight, he would not dare to ask Emperor Chu. At least Jingzhao Mansion and the Dongchang Jinyiwei Command Post must give him a reasonable explanation.
Li Yuanba had a hot temper and would explode at the slightest moment. He had two golden hammers with drums and urns in his hands, killing people like swatting flies. Thinking of this, Li Yuanfang and Duan Tianya looked solemn.
I was extremely horrified, knowing that Prince Zhao's palace could not be offended.
When the two were in trouble, Di Renjie and Bao Zheng came with Xiao Guizi. The soldiers and horses surrounding the mansion stood on both sides, and the three of them clapped their horses and came forward.
"His Majesty has an order. Jingzhao Mansion and Dongchang Mansion are ordered to investigate the case. All members of Prince Zhao's Mansion must cooperate fully. If there is the slightest neglect, severe punishment will not be spared."
Xiao Guizi was the housekeeper and a celebrity around Emperor Chu. He Quan, as the steward of Prince Zhao's palace, had seen Xiao Guizi come to announce decrees and awards many times, so he was no stranger to him.
Since His Majesty had his decree, He Quan did not dare to disobey at all. He stepped forward to Di Renjie, bowed and saluted, and then asked:
"Master Di was ordered to investigate the case and wanted to enter Prince Zhao's Mansion. The common people should not have stopped him. However, the servants under Prince Zhao's Mansion have always been strict with themselves and have never done anything illegal. Is there any misunderstanding in this?
"
He Quan is also a man who has seen the world. He can gain Li Yuanba's trust. How could he not have any means and courage to face Di Renjie and thousands of soldiers and horses, and he is completely overwhelmed without changing his expression.
"Are you the manager of Prince Zhao's Mansion?"
"He Quan, a grass-roots man, is the steward of Prince Zhao's Mansion. The master is not in Beijing, so all matters in the mansion are organized by grass-roots men!"
Upon hearing He Quan's words, Di Renjie and Bao Zheng looked suspicious at the same time. The manager of Prince Zhao's Mansion gave people a sense of uprightness, and it was impossible for people to connect the missing people's case with him.
Think about this.
Di Renjie turned around and looked behind him, signaling Duan Tianya and Li Yuanfang to bring Xiang Rakshasa up, and said, "But this person went to Rakshasa Pavilion to buy the ghost mist poison?"
Faced with Di Renjie's questioning, Xiang Luosha stepped forward, looked at He Quan, and said, "It's not this person, but that person held a token of stewardship of Prince Zhao's Mansion, and I saw him enter Prince Zhao's Mansion with my own eyes.
"
Xiang Luosha's attitude was very firm and he obviously did not lie. For a time, the whole matter became more and more confusing. Di Renjie pulled Xiang Luosha's catkin to the side of the mansion.
"You are definitely not this person. Could it be that you are using a disguise technique or something like that?"
"Sir, it's absolutely impossible. Disguise can change a person's appearance, but it can't change his skin. The steward of Prince Zhao's Mansion is at least sixty years old now, and the people who come to Rakshasa Pavilion to buy the ghost mist poison have their hands
The upper skin is very delicate, and there is a flying fire dragon head on the arm.”
"Fire faucet?"
Di Renjie knew that the fire dragon head was a totem that every one of the eight ancient tribes, the Fire Clan, must have. Apparently the person who bought the Ghost Mist Poison in Rakshasa Pavilion was from the Fire Clan.
But why did they involve Prince Zhao's Mansion? Di Renjie couldn't figure it out, but he still decided to enter Prince Zhao's Mansion to search.
"Butler He, could you please gather all the maids in the house together? I will go in and check, and I will leave soon!"
He Quan signaled Di Renjie to enter the mansion and ordered all the maids in the mansion to gather in the courtyard. After a while, everyone came to the courtyard and lined up in an orderly manner.
"Butler He, see if all the maids are here!"
He Quan has been in Prince Zhao's mansion for almost three years. There are a hundred servants and maids in the mansion, and he remembers every one of them in his mind.
"Back to my lord, there is still one person left!"
"Butler He, the little monkey said there was something urgent at home at dusk, so he left the mansion early and went back."
A slave came out and said, Di Renjie moved to his side and asked: "Who is the little monkey you are talking about, and where does he live in Chang'an City!"
"Sir, the little monkey's real name is Fang Hou. He lives in the alley of Xishikou. He has an old mother at home."
Hear the sound.
Di Renjie suspected that Marquis Fang was the person Xiang Luosha was talking about, and took his servants to the outside of Prince Zhao's Mansion. After telling Bao Zheng the whole story, he ordered the soldiers from the patrol camp, Jin Yiwei and Jingzhao Mansion to withdraw.
Letting the servants of Prince Zhao's Palace lead the way, Di Renjie took only Li Yuanfang, Duan Tianya, and Xiang Luosha to the alley of Xishikou.
When a group of people came to Fang Hou's house, they only saw two corpses, one was Fang Hou's and the other was his mother. Di Renjie checked the corpses and found that they should have died before the killer attacked Luosha Pavilion.
However, the only person who can be sure is that the person who went to Rakshasa Pavilion to buy the ghost mist poison was the deceased Fang Hou, who had the fire dragon head totem on his arm.
Passing to midnight, the clues broke again, and everything returned to its original point. Di Renjie ordered the Jin Yiwei to take the two corpses back and walked alone on the long street.
He always felt that something had gone wrong, and he was obviously very close to the answer. While he was thinking, Xiang Luosha came to him, held his arm, and pressed his towering breasts against his body.
"Master Di, the Rakshasa Pavilion was destroyed by assassins. The little girl can only go back to the house with Master Di tonight."
The fragrant Rakshasa was like a water snake, wrapping around Di Renjie's body, but his face was ashen and he raised his hand to push the fragrant Rakshasa away.
"Go back to Rakshasa Pavilion obediently. This case all started because of you. If it weren't for your ghost mist poison, how could there be people missing mysteriously?"
"Rakshasa Pavilion has been in the West City for so many years. You will have no place to hide. Don't follow me!"
The case was so confusing that one day passed in the blink of an eye. There were only two days until New Year's Eve. Emperor Chu's three-day period would soon be two days. If the case could not be solved, there would be no chance of spending this New Year's Eve in peace.
And because this case might offend King Zhao Li Yuanba, Di Renjie had a big head at this time and needed to be alone.
The night was as thick as ink, and Di Renjie's figure stretched very long on West Changchang Street. Xiang Rakshasa snorted angrily at his back, turned around and walked towards Rakshasa Pavilion.
.....................
About an hour later, the city of Chang'an fell into deathly silence. The city was empty and there was no one left except for stray cats that barked from time to time.
It's shrill, harsh, and terrifying.
Outside Chang'an City, a black shadow suddenly flew into the sky on Jinguang Mountain and stayed on the mountainside. A faint fire appeared, and a barrel-thick flying snake appeared, surrounding the black shadow intimately. Then hundreds of men in black appeared in the cave.
, they held torches and knelt down one after another to salute.
"Welcome the envoy!"
"Today, the Jingzhao Mansion and Jinyiwei in Chang'an City have begun to intervene to thoroughly investigate the cases of missing people. You all should stay dormant and do not take any further actions."
"Currently, we have controlled 900 dead soldiers, plus 100 people in the city, a team of exactly 1,000 people. It is enough to complete our plan."
"Before the plan is implemented, there must be no mistakes, otherwise even if you have a hundred heads, it won't be enough."
