"Will you die at any time?"
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but sneered as he recalled what he saw of Prince Dongchuan in the courtyard.
"I don't think Prince Dongchuan looks like someone who could die at any time. It is possible for his servants to die at any time. It seems that Dongchuan Hou is setting a trap for his son's attack. As for this trap, Whether it is set up for us, or he is heading towards Qingtang, or he is plotting against someone else, I can’t say for the time being. Of course, it is not ruled out that the Marquis of Dongchuan has a big appetite and wants to plot everyone. .”
Qin Qiaoer agreed very much with her younger brother's analysis, because she thought so too.
"Fortunately, you found out the true situation of Crown Prince Dongchuan, so we were prepared in advance. No matter what kind of calculations Hou Dongchuan has behind him, we won't be easily fooled."
Qin Shaoyou said seriously: "The old fox Dongchuan Hou is very cunning. Even if we know the true situation of his son, we cannot take it lightly, otherwise we will fall into his scheme. Sixth sister, you and Liao Tixue are in the study. After chatting with him for so long, apart from being miserable in front of you, did he have anything else to say?"
Qin Qiaoer nodded and said: "He said that during this period, there were abnormal military movements in Qingtang, and he suspected that a new round of offensive was going to be launched. This is also the reason why he couldn't spare the time to see us a few days ago. This time His son was attacked. For the sake of the country and the court, he was too busy to take charge of the arrest of the murderer, so he asked us, the red-clad messengers, to help him catch the Qingtang spy who committed the murder so that he could avenge his son. .”
"You mentioned revenge? It seems that it won't be long before news of the death of Prince Dongchuan comes out."
Qin Shaoyou raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a moment's thought, he guessed the intention of Marquis Dongchuan: "It seems that Marquis Dongchuan wants to use us as swordsmen, so that we can fight with the Qingtang spies hiding in Qingtang Guard City. Both sides will lose! Huh, isn't he afraid that after we catch the Qingtang spy, we will ask him some unfavorable news?"
Qin Qiaoer had already considered these issues, shook his head and said, "Since he dares to let us arrest people, it means that those Qingtang spies must not know about their secret dealings with Qingtang."
"That's right. With the cunningness of Marquis Dongchuan, he will never send the evidence into our hands." Qin Shaoyou nodded and asked: "Sixth Sister, have you agreed?"
"Agreed." Qin Qiaoer said: "It is our duty to investigate and solve the case. And I didn't know at the time that you had already obtained the confession of Dongchuan Hou Shizi, and you were thinking of going to Qingtang with the purpose of hunting down the Qingtang spies. The yamen at all levels in the Acropolis searched for information, searched for clues, and conducted comprehensive analysis to see if they could find some evidence proving that Dongchuan Hou had colluded with Qingtang. But now that we have the self-destructive confession of Dongchuan Hou Shizi, we There is no need to do these things, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Marquis Dongchuan."
Qin Shaoyou had different ideas.
"No, we still have to investigate. Otherwise, Marquis Dongchuan will become suspicious."
Qin Qiaoer was startled for a moment, and then he reacted.
"Yes, it must be investigated. We came to Qingtang Guards to investigate why there was a problem in the defense line, and let hundreds of Qingtang barbarians enter Yizhou. As the commander-in-chief of the front line, he, Dongchuan Marquis, will definitely be suspected by us. It is only reasonable to conduct corresponding investigations. If we do not investigate, it means that we are weird. Moreover, as I said just now, since the Marquis of Dongchuan dares to let us be responsible for arresting Qingtang spies, it means that he has Complete preparations. Maybe we in the yamen at all levels will not only be unable to collect evidence of his crime, but also collect a lot of evidence to prove that he is "loyal to the country" and "loyal to the court" and help him clear his name... I have to say that our Marquis of Dongchuan is really scheming and calculating!"
"If we want Marquis Dongchuan to relax his vigilance, we have to make him think that every move we make is within his expectations."
When Qin Shaoyuan came here, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"He wants to use us as sword wielders, so we will satisfy him. But our sword is not that easy to use. When the time comes, not only will we stab the Qingtang spy, but we will also cut the blood from his hand!"
Qin Qiaoer's eyes suddenly lit up.
"What are you going to do?"
"My thoughts are this..."
Qin Shaoyou told his plan and discussed it with Qin Qiaoer, Zhu Xiucai and others to refine and improve it.
On the other side, the soldiers in the Hou Mansion have already conducted a preliminary screening inside and outside the mansion.
They have not found anyone suspected to be from the Black Lotus Sect, and they have not found anyone whose soul has been damaged.
"Did you run away? You moved really fast."
Marquis Dongchuan's face darkened, but he soon sneered again.
"Now that Qingtang Acropolis has closed the city gates and opened the magic circle, the thief's soul has been severely damaged by me, and he will definitely not be able to run far. You should immediately expand the scope of the search and be sure to catch this thief! Yes, send people to various drug stores in the city to keep an eye on them. Once someone buys medicinal materials that calm the nerves and nourish the soul, they will follow them to see who they are buying them for. They will capture them all and torture them. They would rather kill the wrong person than let them go! Where are those red-clad messengers?"
"Already returned to the inn."
"Go and inform them of the news that the thief has escaped, so that they can get busy and don't just rest and do nothing."
"yes."
The soldiers accepted the order, but there was also a general who hesitated to speak.
Marquis Dongchuan noticed this person's condition and frowned: "Just say what you have to say. What does it look like to be hesitating?"
The soldier general glanced at his colleagues beside him, raised his hands and said, "Master Marquis, please screen others away first."
Marquis Dongchuan frowned slightly, but still waved his hand and said to the other soldiers in the study: "You guys can go out first."
The soldiers exited the study one after another with regrets that they could not listen to the gossip.
When he and Marquis Dongchuan were alone in the study, the soldier general said cautiously: "Master Marquis, when we were searching for thieves in the backyard, we found that Mrs. Lu was having an affair with an actress..."
"Is the evidence conclusive?" Hou Dongchuan asked, his expression showing no emotion or anger.
"conclusive."
The personal soldier general recalled the scene he saw...it was simply conclusive and couldn't be more conclusive.
"Where are they?"
"It's under control and waiting for the Marquis' instructions."
"Do many people know about this?"
"Not much. It was just me and three brothers. After discovering the situation, we immediately sealed off the scene and didn't let anyone else step in."
"Don't make the family scandal public. Give them a happy life and bury the body on the spot."
Marquis Dongchuan sighed. He didn't know whether he was sad that he was wearing a hat, or he was lamenting that he was not kind to others.
Immediately afterwards, he patted the shoulders of the generals: "You have done a good job and kept this secret for me."
The general agreed: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, we will keep it secret!"
After the general left the study, Dongchuan Houcai said quietly to himself: "I don't mind if you ask for a face, because that will make me excited, but you shouldn't let the soldiers find out. Don't worry, wait. After you die, I will send these soldiers to the Huangquan Road to accompany you all the way, so that you will not be too lonely on this journey..."
