"What Ah Piao said is right. I had the same reaction when I saw these two investigation materials for the first time." His Highness nodded and sighed softly, "We suspect that they are cheating. The purpose of selling dog meat is not pure."
"Since you have doubts, you..." Hei Lu'er was puzzled, "Why don't you continue to investigate? Did the prince stop you?"
"Yes." His Highness nodded, recalling the conversation that took place when he went to find Wanyan and Wen, "Brother Wang knew that I was searching for Wanyan people, so he was not surprised that I came to him. After listening to my story He was very calm about the purpose of his visit, saying that he already understood the situation, but hoped that I would not take advantage of this point to continue investigating. If they really have a problem, he would handle it himself. Since Brother Wang has already mentioned this, Son, I can only agree. After I came back from Brother Wang, I told Ah Piao not to continue."
"Why? Why would the prince do this?" Hei Lu'er frowned slightly, and looked at each other with Ah Piao, and then looked at Ah Rou who was holding her cheek and listening to the story with great interest, "If I am not wrong, after this In an assassination attempt, the two gentlemen blocked the knife for the prince and almost lost their lives. After they were rescued, their status in the prince's heart skyrocketed and they suddenly became his confidants, surpassing several of their colleagues who entered the prince's palace at the same time. Street, is that right?" Seeing His Highness nod, he continued, "Can't this explain their ambition? Isn't the prince not suspicious? It shouldn't be!"
"Maybe, maybe not." Ah Piao shrugged, "But it's obvious that these two people have evil intentions, but... there is no way, the prince has said such things, we have to listen."
"Apiao is right. Brother Wang has said it, so we have to listen. Moreover, Brother Wang told me that if they are really dangerous, then it is safest and most reassuring to keep them under your nose. Yes. If they really have evil intentions, sooner or later they will reveal their true intentions, and everyone will have all the stolen goods by then, so they will definitely be dealt with, so why bother to alert them now?"
"That's what I said..." Hei Lu'er sighed, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just..."
"That makes sense. There is no reason to refute it. I just feel uncomfortable, right?" Seeing Hei Lu'er nodding, His Highness spread his hands helplessly, "I think the same thing as you. The reason is It's acceptable, but I feel very frustrated. I always feel that if I don't investigate further, I will miss a lot of key evidence, but if I investigate further, I will offend Brother Wang. After thinking about it, I can only choose to feel frustrated. "What's more..." She shrugged, "In the final analysis, these two people are Brother Wang's own staff. They are neither his close friends by marriage nor people who have business dealings with him. In fact, they are not within the scope of our investigation at all." Moreover, they did not make any mistakes in contacting people, nor did they come into contact with any suspicious people. The people they came into contact with were all related to Brother Wang."
"To put it more harshly, the staff are the prince's private property. How you want to deal with them and arrange them must be decided by the prince. Even His Highness is not qualified to overstep his authority, right?"
His Highness did not speak, but nodded towards Hei Lu'er, showing that he was very interested in what Ah Piao said.
"...That's true." Hei Lu'er sighed, "No wonder His Highness gave up and continued to investigate."
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Your Highness has not given up, but has become more secretive." Ah Piao gently shook her finger, "But it is a pity that I don't know if they have received the message or what they heard. We found out about the secret, and their actions were even more secretive. In the following years, we never caught their pigtails at all, nothing out of the ordinary."
"No, it's more than that." His Highness shook his head slightly, "According to the information we found, except for that time when they defended Brother Wang from a knife, they have not done anything excessive or done anything extraordinary in so many years. . We also checked some things before they entered the palace, as well as the process of entering the palace, and found no problems, so..." She shrugged, "Apiao just marked these two people out separately to express the need to be strict. Observation, nothing else could be done. In the end, it was careless, and unexpectedly they took refuge in that guy and became his right-hand man."
"Your Highness, have you ever thought about it, maybe they are not seeking refuge with the Crown Prince?"
"You mean, they..." His Highness shook his head, "It's impossible, right?"
"Judging from their entire experience, from the very beginning, their goal was not the prince, but the prince."
"But when the assassination occurred, that guy had just been born and had just passed his 100th day. They..." His Highness looked at A Piao, A Rou, and then at Hei Lu'er, "Will they think so long-term?"
"It turns out that they are thinking so long-term and are taking a long-term view to catch the big fish." Hei Lu'er spread his hands, "Now is the time for them to show off their skills, right? They have now surpassed other counselors and become the prince's confidants. So at that time, I risked my life just to gain the prince's trust and attention, so that I could have better contact with the prince."
"When you said that, I remembered that the person they had the most contact with in the early days, besides the prince, was the prince."
"I also remembered that they are that guy's mentors, and that guy really trusts them."
"Look, this is their purpose." Hei Lu'er picked up the two files, "Judging from the information of these two people, although they have different ancestry, they studied at Danbo Academy in Yi'an Prefecture. The teacher and commander are the same." He looked at His Highness and then at Ah Piao, "Both of you have drawn circles on this, so why don't you go check it out?"
"I checked." A Piao sighed, "Nothing was found. The academy was completely burned down by a fire seven years ago, when Mr. Ni took the third imperial examination. Their teacher , All my former classmates are no longer alive.”
"Is this..." Hei Lu'er frowned slightly, "Killing people and silencing them?"
"This..." Ah Piao spread her hands, "There is no way to investigate. We only went to investigate more than ten years after the fire. Things have already changed. We can't find any strong evidence to prove that these are them. Even though we did it, we couldn’t find any evidence that the two of them had any contact at Danbo Academy.”
"The reason for the disguised destruction of corpses and traces is that you are afraid that your past will be discovered, so you have to strike first." Hei Luer sighed, "These two people really should be investigated carefully. They may be the ones we want. The key person between the prince and his aunt."
