Chapter 389 It can’t be such a coincidence, right?
Liu Lang was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then asked: "What about the leader of the secret cult who planned the operation? Has he been captured?"
Xu Mao thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Go back to Your Highness, this servant doesn't know..."
Liu Lang waved his hand and said: "Okay, I know, you can go down..."
Xu Mao then bowed and quietly exited the inner hall.
As soon as the inner hall door was closed, Liu Lang frowned.
Zhao Li saw this and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Lang thought about it and said: "Li'er, you said that Liu Tong is good... Why would you want to collude with the secret sect if you leave a good county magistrate alone?"
Zhao Li thought for a moment and said cautiously: "Your Highness, it is not yet possible to draw a conclusion as to why Liu Tonghao colluded with the secret sect. After the Wude Division interrogates, we should be able to know the reason."
"Well, that's all we can do..." Liu Lang nodded helplessly.
After just a few breaths, Liu Lang seemed to have thought of something and suddenly prepared to get out of bed.
Zhao Li hurriedly supported her husband and asked, "Your Highness, where are you going?"
Liu Lang said with a strange smile on his lips: "Li'er, I suddenly thought of an idea. I want to write a letter to my father..."
"Write a letter to your father?" Zhao Li was a little confused: "Your Highness, what letter are you writing?"
With the help of Zhao Li, Liu Lang came to the desk. Zhao Li waited for him to stand firm, spread out the paper, and then began to grind the ink.
Liu Lang stood on one foot in front of the desk and said: "Li'er, I want to write a letter to implore my father to hand over the task of hunting down the assassins to Di Chu and Pu Junxiong!"
"Your Highness, I don't understand very well..."
Zhao Li couldn't understand why her husband wrote such a letter. He had been very dissatisfied and ashamed of Di and Pu since Hang Baiqiu was suspended.
Liu Lang smiled slyly and said softly: "Li'er and Di Pu are the most capable people in Wude Division. If we don't leave the burden of hunting down assassins to them, how can I rest assured? Don't you think so?"
Zhao Li was still confused and didn't understand, but Liu Lang had no intention of explaining anymore. He dipped his pen in ink and started writing fluently on the paper.
Zhao Li studied the ink while reading the letter written by her husband, and gradually understood what he meant.
Soon after Liu Lang finished writing the letter, he placed the pen on the pen mountain, turned around and asked, "Li'er, do you understand now?"
Zhao Li looked at the letter and nodded, raised his eyes and asked: "But Your Highness, what if the emperor disagrees..."
Liu Lang raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Li'er, I almost lost my life yesterday, my father will definitely agree!"
With that said, Liu Lang sat down on the chair behind the desk.
Zhao Li nodded without saying anything. She helped dry the ink on the letter, then carefully folded it and put it in an envelope, sealed it, and went out to give it to Xu Mao, who asked Xu Mao to send it to the palace immediately.
When Zhao Li came back from arranging things, Liu Lang said, "Li'er, how about I tell you an interesting story about Chai Yan's drinking contest?"
--------------------------
When Xu Mao sent the letter to the palace, Chai Yan was following the address on the property deed. He planned to stop by the mansion awarded by the prince before returning to Wudesi.
I don’t know whether the house is big or not, whether it is new or old, or what the layout is like...
"Hey, is this Wenyun Street... Why does it seem like I've been here before..."
Prince Shang's house was at No. 21 Wenyun Street, and when Chai Yan came to the street and took a look, the scene here seemed somewhat familiar.
"No. 3, No. 5..."
Chai Yan walked forward while counting the house numbers. He became more and more certain that he had been to this street before, and that he had been here very recently, just yesterday!
"No. 19, No. 20..." When Chai Yan saw the house number No. 20, he was stunned: "I'll go... It can't be such a coincidence.
..."
Chai Yan laughed dumbly while looking at the mansion with the house number 20 on Wenyun Street. The word "Gu Mansion" on the plaque made Chai Yan couldn't help but shake his head...
Isn't this Gu Ling's house...why do we become neighbors with her?
After thinking about it, Chai Yan immediately looked for house number 21.
Sure enough, house number 21 is diagonally opposite Gu's mansion. There is nothing hanging on the lintel and the door is closed. However, the front door is very clean. You can tell at a glance that this place is managed by someone.
Chai Yan looked back at Gu Mansion and couldn't help but muttered: "Prince, Prince, you must have done it on purpose..."
In fact, it was not deliberately arranged by Liu Lang. This house was actually under the name of the crown prince's brother, Zhao Cong. Zhao Cong had many lands in the capital, and this place was just one of them. The reason why he chose it to reward Chai Yan was just because.
Close to Prince's Mansion, convenient!
Chai Yan didn't knock on the door of Gu's house. Now that he has become a neighbor, there will naturally be many opportunities to meet him in the future.
It’s better to check out your new home first!
In the blink of an eye, Chai Yan arrived at the door of his new home. He knocked the door knocker three times unhurriedly and shouted, "Is anyone here?"
"Who is it?"
Soon, an older male voice came from inside.
Then, the door opened a crack, and a lean old man in his fifties appeared.
The lean old man looked at Chai Yan and saw that he was wearing the official uniform of Wude Division, so he said: "This little brother, the house opposite is Master Gu's house. You knocked on the wrong door..."
"
After saying that, the lean old man planned to close the door.
Chai Yan quickly reached out to stop him and asked: "Old man, this is No. 21 Wenyun Street, right?"
"That's right." The lean old man was startled and nodded quickly.
"Then I didn't look in the wrong place or knock on the wrong door..."
After Chai Yan finished speaking, he flashed the house deed and said, "Old man, please look at this, this is the house deed!"
The lean old man was suddenly startled, and then he opened the door, bowed and apologized: "The little old man is blind, I didn't know that the master is here, the little old man deserves to be punished, please punish me!"
Judging from the old man's reaction, he should have known that the house was given away, but he didn't expect that it was given to such a young man.
Chai Yan stepped into the door and said casually: "It's okay. You don't know me. It's not strange if you don't know..."
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness." The lean old man immediately bowed and said.
Chai Yan asked: "Old man, what should I call you?"
Cai Laowu replied respectfully: "Sir, my surname is Cai, and I am the fifth in the family. Sir, please call me Laowu..."
After hearing this, Chai Yan laughed and said: "I'd better call you Uncle Cai. By the way, I don't have anything else to do today. I just came here to take a look at the place. I don't know what I need to buy..."
Cai Bo said: "Go back to me, sir. There is nothing missing in the house. If you are willing, you can move here at any time..."
"Oh? Isn't it just a matter of bringing your bags to check in? It's so convenient!" Chai Yan thought to himself that this would save a lot of trouble.
Then, Chai Yan asked Uncle Cai to take him around the house to familiarize himself with the environment.
Chai Yan asked as he walked: "Uncle Cai, is there anyone else here besides you?"
Uncle Cai hurriedly said: "There are many, and there is also a cook named Cuiyun..."
