Shortly after.
People from the Criminal Department are here!
People from the Imperial Government Office are also here!
The two groups began to deal with the corpses around the Huangzhou store!
Zhuque Street is even more lively!
The surrounding ordinary people were awakened, but they did not dare to go out. They could only hide quietly in their houses and eavesdrop on what was going on outside.
at this time.
The back doors of the princeling ministers were knocked open one after another, and a panicking news was spread into these mansions and compounds!
Immediately afterwards.
There was movement in the courtyards of these mansions, candles that had been extinguished were rekindled, and conspirators could be seen everywhere on the windows.
Then, the back doors were opened one by one, and some night walkers in black darted out and disappeared!
Some secret strongholds of the princelings were also opened, and warriors with extraordinary skills flew out of the strongholds and disappeared into the night.
At night in the imperial capital, murderous intent is everywhere.
the other side.
Xia Tian has already sat on the carriage and returned to the Ninth Prince's Mansion unhurriedly.
Suddenly, Zang Yi's voice appeared, promptly reporting the situation in the imperial capital: "Your Majesty, as expected, Leng Bing's account book is very implicated. The East Palace and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion sent many waves of people in succession to pass on the situation to His followers!"
"We all followed up and found the hidden princeling, and his information has been added to the register!"
"Moreover, we have also discovered several strongholds of the Prince's Death Guards and are already monitoring them!"
Xia Tian's eyes flashed with wisdom: "Continue to monitor, investigate the backgrounds of these people, control their whereabouts, and do not let anyone go when you take action."
"yes!"
Zang Yi continued to report: "Your Majesty, the imperial censor has made arrangements."
"As long as Dong Gong dares to take action, it will be difficult for him to stop this time!"
A cold light flashed in Xia Tian's eyes: "Remember, you must protect the family of the imperial censor, and be careful not to let the snipe and the clam fight to the advantage of the fisherman!"
"yes!"
Soon after, several black homing pigeons soared into the sky not far from the carriage and disappeared into the night.
The carrier pigeon was a communication tool that Xia Tian had tinkered with before entering the imperial capital.
Golden eagles in wartime, homing pigeons in peacetime.
suddenly.
On the shaft.
Bai Hu felt a warning sign in his heart: "Your Majesty, we are being followed!"
"Several waves of people!"
The corner of Xia Tian's mouth evoked an unfathomable meaning: "Let them follow!"
"Go home and rest!"
"yes!"
Shortly after.
Xia Tian returned to the house and just stepped into the hall when Zang Yi appeared: "Your Majesty, there was movement in Zuo Xiang's house. Someone inside shouted that there were thieves. Then, the bodies of the two Blackman warriors were thrown out of the yard, and Lu Ban Suo also Being thrown out.”
"Then, the thief girl from the Dragon Sect appeared and took away the Luban Lock!"
"According to your instructions, we did not follow up and the people were withdrawn!"
Xia Tian looked at the void outside the hall, looked in the direction of Zuo Xiangfu, and murmured: "Master Taishan, is it really you?"
"Or is there someone in your house who is dishonest?"
Xia Tian's eyes flashed with wisdom: "Withdraw the people who are monitoring Zuo Xiang's Mansion. These two Blackman warriors will die for me to see."
"yes!"
A trace of worry appeared on Zang Yi's stern face: "Your Majesty, I have sent an order back to Huangzhou and asked Manager Bai to check out the five thousand Sima family soldiers that the princess has intercepted in Huangzhou. If there is any situation, we will deal with it immediately!"
Xia Tian nodded: "The investigation must be carried out secretly, don't cause commotion!"
"yes!"
Xia Tian patted Zangyi on the shoulder happily: "You are becoming more and more stable in doing things!"
A rare smile appeared on Zang Yi's face: "Your Majesty taught me well!"
"However, the princess's side..."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Tian already understood Zang Yi's meaning: "I will go and talk to the princess!"
"You follow the plan!"
"yes!"
Zang Yi's figure disappeared into the dark night.
Xia Tian turned around and walked into the inner courtyard, opened the door of the bedroom, and looked at Sima Lan who was lying on the bedside reading a book, feeling pity: "You don't have to wait for me in the future. If you feel sleepy, just go to bed first!"
Sima Lan put down the book in his hand and smiled sweetly: "In Daxia, if my husband doesn't come back, I don't dare to sleep first."
Xia Tian walked to the bed and sat down, carefully looking at the bed... there was no third person.
Only then did he take Sima Lanyu's hand with peace of mind: "Remember, when you went to Huangzhou with me, your original intention was to get rid of the constraints!"
Xia Tian recited Sima Lan's poem: "I wish I could see all over the world, I don't want to hide my beauty in a small space, I would rather live a happy life and be drunk among the flowers, I would rather wear rough clothes and learn to farm!"
"The palace is your home. You don't have to be bound by those messy rules. You can live as comfortably as you like!"
Sima Lan shook her hand and said delicately: "Your Majesty, I feel most sorry for Lan'er!"
The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention the fact that Xia Tian hugged the wrong Sima Mei!
Xia Tian stretched out his hand and ran his fingers across Sima Lan's pretty face, as if smearing it on a piece of warm, peerless jade: "Lan'er, during the Battle of Huangzhou, why did you hide the truth of the Battle of Huangzhou from Master Taishan?"
"Why should we detain those who participated in the great war?"
Sima Lan raised her beautiful eyes lightly and looked at Xia Tian: "The reason why the Sima family can become the first family in the Central Plains is because of the wealth, connections, and strength accumulated by countless generations. Although it is only one family, there are many factions in it. If If the true situation of Huangzhou is introduced into the family, it will do a lot of harm to Huangzhou but no benefit."
"So, Lan'er chose to keep it a secret!"
"Eldest sister also chose to keep it a secret!"
Xia Tian still asked: "Don't you even believe Lord Taishan?"
Sima Lan's eyes flashed with wisdom: "My father is the head of the Sima family and the patriarch of the Sima family. Sitting in that position, he can only put the interests of the family first and is no longer a pure father!"
"Lan'er doesn't trust her father, but she doesn't want to embarrass him!"
Xia Tian came forward and kissed her gently on her smooth forehead: "It is my blessing to marry you in this life!"
Sima Lan seemed to have thought of something: "I have already ordered Xiao Ge to conduct an inventory of the five thousand Sima family soldiers trapped in Huangzhou three times. If the prince still wants to be more cautious, he can order Xiao Bai to conduct an inventory again!"
Xia Tian gently hugged Sima Lan: "Tonight, shall I write a poem for you all night?"
Sima Lan blushed and said shyly: "Okay!"
"My lord, please have mercy!"
the other side.
The residence of the imperial censor.
After the imperial censor returned home, he immediately entered the study to study the account books.
The secret account books of this era are generally divided into open accounts and secret accounts.
Clear account, you can read all the information at a glance.
The secret account is written in the secret language unique to the bookkeeper, and it is necessary to find patterns for translation.
Censors, in order to find evidence to impeach someone, it is common practice to go through people's account books. All of them are masters of accounting, and the Censor is the leader among them.
Shortly after.
The excited voice of the imperial censor came from the study: "It turns out there are so many thieves standing in the court!"
"I won't let anyone go!"
"Never let go!"
finally.
The men in black outside the Yushi doctor's house take action!
"Swish swish..."
They have strong martial arts skills and elegant figures. They can climb over walls and run through houses as if they were walking on the ground, showing their masterly demeanor!
These men in black have only one mission, to steal the ledger!
If necessary, kill the imperial censor and his family!
Destroy the whole family!
Suddenly, murderous intent was rampant in the house of the imperial censor.
The moon is smeared with scarlet again...
