Zhu Xiaochuan went to investigate the whereabouts of Prince Li Xian three days ago. If it was confirmed that he did not go to Cuiyun Tower during the time specified by the assassins, then his suspicion would be cleared directly.
Xiao Chen is responsible for going to Cuiyun Tower to conduct a secret investigation to see if he can find any clues?
But the expectations are obviously not very high, because the people behind the scenes must have gone away long ago, and they will never be stupid enough to stay in Fengyang City waiting to be caught.
The so-called investigation is actually just a formality.
But what happened next was far beyond everyone's expectations...
After working for most of the night, Xiao Chen was exhausted and exhausted. He said goodbye to the two of them and fell asleep after returning to his residence. He slept in darkness and didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day.
Damn it, why are you sleeping so deeply?
Suddenly feel something in your hand? When I opened it and looked at it, there was a small piece of paper with only three words written on it: Tianxuanhui.
This handwriting is very familiar to Xiao Chen. It belongs to Liu Ruyun. Has she been here before?
Now that you are here, why don't you wake yourself up and leave only these three words?
Tianxuanhui? Xiao Chen seemed to have vaguely heard of this name. It seemed to be a very mysterious Jianghu organization. What did Liu Ruyun mean by leaving this name to herself silently?
He quickly got up and called Xiao Lizi and Xiao Fengzi over, asking if anyone was looking for him.
Xiao Lizi said that the queen and the imperial concubine sent people here respectively. When they saw Eunuch Xiao that you were resting, they said it was okay and wouldn't let us disturb you.
In addition, Lord Zhu and Commander Wu also sent people to inquire. Knowing that you were sleeping soundly, they did not disturb you. They just asked you to wake up and go to Jinyiwei to meet them...
"You two idiots! Why didn't you wake me up?" Xiao Chen felt a little proud in his heart, but he naturally wanted to reprimand the two of them.
He also asked Concubine Liu if she had sent anyone here? They both shook their heads no.
Xiao Chen said in his heart that you two idiots, Liu Ruyun even touched your boss and me on my bed, and you didn't notice at all!
I was so nervous that I couldn't think about it carefully.
I quickly washed and changed my clothes, ate something, and then went straight to Kunning Palace.
He told Murong Danqiu the results of last night's interrogation.
"The prince wants to murder me? You can't." Murong Danqiu didn't believe it either.
"I don't think so. Even though the prince is a bastard, he wouldn't do such a thing." Xiao Chen said.
"Well, who do you think did it?" Murong Danqiu suddenly lowered his voice, "Could it be Liu Ruyun's little hooves?"
"The matter has not been investigated clearly, and I dare not say who it is." Xiao Chen was thinking the same as Murong Danqiu.
But there is no evidence.
Moreover, Liu Ruyun must also know that the emperor ordered her to participate in the investigation of this matter. With her curiosity, it was impossible not to inquire about the situation with herself.
But no.
So what does she mean? To avoid suspicion?
If this matter has nothing to do with you, just avoid being suspected!
But he quietly stuffed himself a small inexplicable note, hinting that the matter was related to the Tianxuan Society.
Isn't this just trying to hide the fact that there are no three hundred taels of silver here?
You are the most suspicious, I tell you.
"I'm afraid this matter cannot be investigated clearly." Murong Danqiu sighed.
"Then we have to investigate, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the emperor." Xiao Chen also sighed.
"Haha, the emperor may not want an explanation. He is the best at pretending to be confused... Why do you want to visit Cuiyun Tower?" Murong Danqiu changed the subject.
"I was ordered to investigate the case!" Xiao Chenxin said that I was ordered to visit the brothel.
"Hmph, please be careful and don't be fascinated by those foxy girls!" Murong Danqiu half-smiled.
"Impossible!" Xiao Chen said loudly, "I am not fascinated by the fairies who are pure and pure. How can I be fascinated by those ruined flowers and willows?"
"Which fairy?" The question was abrupt.
"Who else besides you?" Xiao Chen pretended to be confused.
"I see that you and Nan Qiao are very chatty. She said that not only did you write a lot of fairy-like poems at her place, but you were also drunk."
"Uh..." The evidence was conclusive and there were witnesses, but Xiao Chen was speechless.
"I advise you not to be too arrogant." Murong Danqiu suddenly felt hatred in his heart and stretched out a slender jade finger to point at Xiao Chen's forehead.
However, Xiao Chen grabbed it unceremoniously and took it into his mouth to slurp it.
"You are doing whatever you want in broad daylight!" Murong Danqiu quickly withdrew his hands.
"Then let's do some random things tonight, okay?" Xiao Chen took it one step further and hugged her slender waist, while the other hand...
"Stop making trouble, it's not convenient today." Murong Danqiu said this as if Xiao Chen could be frivolous when it was convenient.
"I'm going to give you a good thing as a gift to you later. I guarantee you will like it." Xiao Chen took it back angrily.
"What good stuff? Don't give me those messy things. I'll beat you carefully!" Murong Danqiu thought Xiao Chen was talking about pictures or something like that.
"You will know by then, I have to leave, Zhu Xiaochuan and Wu Zicheng are still waiting for me!" Xiao Chen turned around and left in a hurry.
"You little slave, are you a little complacent? You don't even have to kneel down in front of me?" Murong Danqiu said angrily.
"Hey!" Xiao Chen rushed back in a gust of wind, held her face in his hands, kissed her hard on the lips, and then ran away laughing.
"You!" Murong Danqiu was dumbfounded.
You little slave, wait until you come back to see how I can fix you...
Zhu Xiaochuan and Wu Zicheng had been waiting for him for a long time. When they saw him coming in, they stood up to greet him.
"The villain actually slept to death this night. He is guilty and deserves to be beaten!" Xiao Chen bowed and confessed.
"You can save it. Don't use so many false gifts between us in the future." Zhu Xiaochuan said with a smile.
"Yes, you are also a third-grade official. Don't talk about a villain. It will make us two brothers embarrassed. From now on, we can just become brothers." Wu Zicheng's words were too affectionate.
"Don't take this seriously!" Xiao Chen was so frightened and at a loss what to do.
"Let's get down to business, Brother Xiao. We have found out the situation on the Prince's side. Three days ago, he held a banquet in the East Palace. He invited Liu Han, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Wang Anbang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to have dinner and drink until the early morning. , many people at the scene can witness it.”
Zhu Xiaochuan first reported good news.
"The prince's suspicion can be eliminated, but the emperor's decree still requires us to thoroughly investigate this matter, and the person who pretends to be the prince must be arrested and brought to justice!"
What Wu Zicheng reported was not good news.
Xiao Chen secretly screamed that something was wrong, and asked hurriedly: "Have you given a time limit? What if we can't find out... Didn't the emperor say what to do with us? You won't lose your head, right?"
"The emperor only gave half a month's time limit!"
Wu Zicheng sighed: "It's not like losing your head, but if you don't do your job well, you will inevitably be demoted and dismissed."
If it were just to be demoted and dismissed from office, Xiao Chen thought it would still be acceptable.
"The two of us told the emperor that your little brother is shrewd, capable and extremely clever. It was you who took care of the assassin. Therefore, if we want to thoroughly investigate this case, you have to do it."
"The Emperor is also convinced. He also gave you a big compliment and asked us to pass on the decree to you. You will take the lead in handling this matter. The two of us are just assisting."
What does this mean?
