one step closer to the end

"Then why are you willing to let you out this time, this is an epidemic area..."

Zhao Guanren looked at her thoughtfully, and the little princess smiled and said, "Grandpa Huang is afraid that the imperial envoy will deceive you, so he specially asked me to come here to see and ask more questions, and report to him one by one after returning to the palace. The Weichang was furious, and I begged Grandpa to change the yamen for you later, so that you would not be implicated!"

"Women don't care about men's affairs, you don't need to talk too much..."

Zhao Guanren had an expression of soft food and hard food, but the little princess liked him, hugging him happily couldn't be enough to kiss him, but suddenly a red official ship sailed ahead, and the guards shouted from afar stand up.

"Oh~ You guys are here, something big happened..."

The little eunuch knelt at the stern and wailed loudly. The people in the deep palace compound were different. They were all masters of acting. Even the little princess crawled out crying. Zhao Guanren simply tilted his head and pretended to be dead. Pig blood all over his face.

……

"Daddy!"

The little princess cried and threw herself into the arms of Prince Duan. Prince Duan had been waiting inside the gate of Xie Mansion for a long time. He hugged her excitedly and turned red, while Zhao Guanren was being carried by the guards with the door panel, looking half dead. .

'My mother!So many wives...'

Zhao Guanren took a sneak peek. There were many wives and concubines in Prince Duan's family. He really couldn't tell which one was the concubine, and how many half-sized sons and maids were there. There should be no elder sons who had already grown up.

"Daddy! Mother! There are thieves..."

The little princess cried and said: "Zhao Yunxuan and I were singing and dancing in the backyard. Ning'er was greedy for a while, so he went into the house with Zhao Yunxuan to eat fructose from Lantai County. How did he know that there was a secret passage in that house, and there were two masked thieves who were fascinated by it?" I fainted Ning'er, and took Ning'er away!"

"Secret passages?"

Prince Duan exclaimed in surprise: "Why is there a secret passage in the inner courtyard of the Xie Mansion, why didn't you tell the accompanying guards, who is so daring to kidnap my son!"

"Your Highness! Incompetent and incompetent..."

Zhao Guanren sat up pretending to be struggling, and said guiltily: "I was stunned together with the little princess. Fortunately, the city gate was locked in the dark, and the lucky thief imprisoned us in a gambling house. I found a chance to break free." The rope, killed two spies to rescue the princess!"

Prince Duan was startled and said angrily: "A lucky thief? How can there be a lucky thief in this Xie residence?"

"The incident happened suddenly! I don't know the humble position..."

Zhao Guanren shook his head and said: "It may be related to the recent corpse plague. The auspicious man seems to be looking for something, and he attacked the princess when he couldn't find it. Your Highness can send someone to the secret passage to investigate!"

"Damn it! This king personally went to investigate..."

Prince Duan swears murderously, Zhao Guanren winks hastily, and the little princess cries and says that she is tired, and walks into the house with the princess in her arms, and the little eunuch also quickly chases after her.

"Your Highness, please follow me..."

Zhao Guanren clutched his chest and staggered forward. A large number of guards surrounded Prince Duan and followed him. Soon he came to the inner courtyard of Xie Mansion. After the guards moved away the big bed in a wing room, a neat bluestone tunnel was revealed .

"What a Xie family! How dare you harbor thieves, this king wants to kill all these rebels..."

Prince Duan roared ferociously, and the guards immediately went in with oil lamps. In fact, most of Xie's family members didn't know about this secret passage, but the Liu family in Guanyue Pavilion was not included, because it was her and Mr. Xie. Secret way of cheating.

'Hey~'

Zhao Guanren leaned to the side and smiled slyly. Liu Shi was kicked out from Xie's house. Although she had the name of a concubine with kidney deficiency, she was actually shared by father and son. Unfortunately, Mrs. Xie caught her in bed.

Mrs. Liu was thrown into a brothel to be a procuress after being beaten up by Mrs. Xie. Zhao Guanren noticed that she held a grudge against the Xie family, so he funded the Hexi casino for Liu's family more than ten days ago, earning more than Guanyue Pavilion. More than ten times more.

Although Liu Shi still maintains a wait-and-see attitude, while secretly operating the Hexi casino, while arguing with Xie Jiaxu, she has leaked all the Xie family's secrets.

"Your Highness!"

A guard came out of the secret passage, clasped his fists and said: "The secret passage leads directly to the house facing the street, there are traces of dragging and fighting, there are two bubbles of urine on the ground, and there are leftovers. It has been hidden in it for a long time!"

"Bastard! I'm going to destroy the whole family of Xie's family..."

Prince Duan roared again, while Zhao Guanren's brain was running fast. This matter was his temporary idea, and the planning was not perfect. There were several loopholes that had to be filled.

"Your Highness! Can you take a step to speak..."

Zhao Guanren suddenly cupped his fists and stepped forward. Prince Duan was slightly taken aback, and followed him to the next door with a frown.

"Your Highness! It's best to investigate this matter secretly, because the princess is almost humiliated..."

Zhao Guanren said helplessly: "When the humble officer rescued the princess, the princess had already been stripped of his clothes by the thieves, and he was just one step away from getting it. Moreover, two thieves escaped. If they let them publicize this matter, I'm afraid it would be humiliating to the county." In the name of the Lord!"

"Dog thief!!!"

Prince Duan was trembling with anger, and roared: "This group of goddamn thieves, I will definitely tear their corpses to pieces!"

"Your Highness, calm down! The humble official has two plans, one is to catch the thief and kill him on the spot..."

Zhao Guanren said: "The second is to quickly send someone to pretend to be the princess, and go to a noisy place. Even if you can't catch the escaping thief, let them make up the propaganda. As long as the people see the little princess on the street, they will just pretend to be the princess." She's just playing around for a while!"

"Right, right, right, right, right..."

Prince Duan patted his head and said: "If the thief is allowed to escape, he will definitely shout out in front of the battle and use it to humiliate my border guards. At that time, Ning'er's reputation will not be guaranteed, and the emperor will punish me severely. You go quickly!" Do it, don't let others know about it!"

"Humble job! Let's borrow the little eunuch..."

Zhao Guanren ran out very readily. The ancients did not have a specific concept of time. Even if someone reported tomorrow that he and the little princess were seen in the casino, Prince Duan would not take it seriously, thinking that he was carrying a fake princess.

"Let's go! I'll take you to dinner..."

Zhao Guanren took the little eunuch away with a smile. When he went out through the back door, he happened to see Xie's family being escorted over.

Chapter 0451

The situation changed overnight, and the Xie family, the richest man in Lantai, was also placed under house arrest. No one knew exactly what happened, but they all speculated that it was related to the disappearance of the little princess.

However, the little princess went out early in the morning, happily leading the guards and maids to go shopping, and there was Zhao Guanren carrying a bag. Those who didn't know thought that Zhao Guanren had cleaned himself up and entered the palace as a little eunuch.

"Your Highness! Elder Ge! There is something strange about this..."

Ouyang Qianhu stood in the study with his fists folded, and beside him was Chen Qianhu standing with hands down. Prince Duan and Xia Shoufu were sitting opposite them drinking tea.

"Let's talk about the strangeness..."

Prince Duan said with some displeasure: "I'll ask you first, have you caught the escaped thief, and you Lantai will give me all the moths!"

"Uh~ the bodies of the two thieves have been found, and the fugitives are looking for their tracks..."

Ouyang Qianhu put down his hands and said: "Your Highness! Something is really strange. Someone saw Zhao Yunxuan in Hexi last night, with a man and a woman with him, who looked like the little princess and the chief eunuch, but... Zhao Yunxuan took them there Gambling stalls!"

"Where can I go if I don't go to a gambling stall at night, a brothel..."

Prince Duan slapped the coffee table heavily, and said angrily: "Do you want outsiders to know that the thief kidnapped my little daughter under my nose? Did the guard dereliction of duty?"

"Your Highness, please be patient..."

Xia Shoufu put down the tea bowl and said: "The guards of the Jingdu did seriously dereliction of duty. They asked me to stay in Xie's house, but they didn't check it out in advance. However, if you want to say that Xie's family hooked up with the auspicious thieves, the old minister doesn't quite believe it. The reason why the thieves are still waiting to be caught!"

"Your Highness! This matter has been investigated by the officials, and very few people know about the secret way..."

Ouyang Qianhu said: "Three female relatives have lived in the place where the secret way leads. It was set up by their father and son's adultery, so they are ashamed to speak to the outside world!"

"What a mess..."

Prince Duan was stunned and said: "Why is it that they are sister-in-law, mother and daughter, and the eldest son's sister-in-law? Could it be that their father and son have committed adultery with relatives and female relatives?"

"Exactly! Father and son of the Xie family have a habit of eating grass beside the nest..."

Ouyang Qianhu replied: "Mr. Xie's younger sister-in-law is widowed in Xie's mansion. In fact, she has defaulted to a partial house, but her daughter also gave birth to a pair of children for Xie's family. It is still unclear who is from Xie's family. Not only did he commit adultery with his cousin, but he even committed adultery with his own sister, it was a mess!"

"It's really messy enough, I'm confused..."

Prince Duan frowned and asked: "Listen to what you mean, the Xie family doesn't know about it, where did the lucky thief come from, and can he still escape from the ground?"

"It should have been targeted by the lucky thief, exposing the entrance to the secret passage..."

Ouyang Qianhu said: "A lot of people knew about the Imperial Envoy coming to Lantai half a month ago, and only the Bian Xie family in Lantai is qualified to receive the Imperial Envoy, but the Bian Mansion has been placed under house arrest by us, and only the Xie family is left. The thief is planning to lurk here!"

"This statement is reasonable..."

Xia Shoufu said: "The Xie family did not miss out. If someone hooked up with the thief and found out that the little princess was missing, he should have fled without a trace. Therefore, the Xie family deserved it and was unlucky. If there were no such dirty things, How could such a catastrophe of beheading fall into their family!"

"Hmph~ They deserve to be unlucky, but they have brought my little princess into trouble. This matter is endless..."

Prince Duan pointed to the two thousand households and said: "Listen up! From now on, Zhao Yunxuan will be transferred from the Jingdu Weichang, and will be transferred to the Ministry of Officials as a secret agent. Towards the prevention and treatment of all diseases, big or small!"

"..."

The eyeballs of the two thousand households popped out. Although they had expected that Zhao Guanren would be promoted, Prince Duan did not have the power to promote others. Besides, this "epidemic promotion" was something that had never been heard of.

"This is the meaning of the Holy Majesty. If it is verified that Zhao Yunxuan has made great contributions to the prevention of the epidemic, he will be promoted to the promotion of the epidemic..."

Xia Shoufu said lightly: "You should be grateful to Zhao Yunxuan, if he hadn't desperately rescued the little princess, the head of one of your guards would not be enough to cut off the head of a saint, but the concentrated corpse poison that was sent to the frontier before, you and others did not share with Zhao Yunxuan. Shall we discuss it with Xuan?"

"Old man!"

Chen Qianhu clasped his fists and said: "Zhao Yunxuan was only a seventh-rank supervisor at the beginning, and the fewer people who know about such important events, the better. Find out the leaker!"

"Stupid! All of you are so overjoyed that you have wasted such a great opportunity..."

Xia Shoufu also slapped the table and said angrily: "My dynasty's spies have already succeeded in the territory of Ji Kingdom. The three border towns all dropped corpse poison, but the corpse poison had no effect when it reached the border. It damaged my dynasty's sixteen elite spies in vain. Don't you even know that corpse poison has a shelf life?"

"Guarantee, shelf life?"

The two Qianhu looked at each other in surprise.

"A three-year-old child understands the reason why you can't drink overnight tea. Everything has a shelf life..."

Xia Shoufu paused with his tea bowl and said angrily: "If you have read the "Epidemic Prevention Handbook" written by Zhao Yunxuan carefully, you should know that the corpse poison will expire at most three days after opening the altar, and the poisonous water in the well will always exist. Because there are corpses soaking in it!"

"This……"

Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the two Qianhus, and Chen Qianhu stammered: "I, I, etc. are from martial arts, and I don't have the habit of reading. It's really our negligence. I will study the epidemic prevention manual carefully when I go back!"

"It's too late! No one knows about your careful thinking, isn't it because you are afraid that Zhao Yunxuan will steal the credit..."

Prince Duan glared and said: "If it wasn't for you being jealous and jealous, and excluding Zhao Yunxuan, how could I, Dashun, have lost troops and lost generals? Do you know that when the Holy Majesty heard about this, he threw the teacup in the court and made your commanding and scolding dogs bloody Otherwise, why wouldn't he come this time?"

"The crime of humble duty deserves death, please punish me..."

The two thousand households knelt on the ground, and they had already greeted the eighteenth generation of Zhao Guanren's ancestors in their hearts. Although they deliberately excluded Zhao Guanren, the boy never mentioned the shelf life, and only published a "Epidemic Prevention Manual" in the past two days. , who the hell had time to see.

"You two listen to me..."

Prince Duan pointed at the two of them and shouted: "What happened last night is related to the honor and disgrace of my royal family. This king now orders you two to perform crimes and make meritorious deeds. If you can't catch the fugitive thief, you two will come to see you. Who dares to reveal half of this matter?" Words, whose head this king wants! Get lost!"

"Yes!"

The two thousand households ran out with pale faces, just as the little princess ran in bouncing around, threw herself into Prince Duan's arms, pulled his beard and acted coquettishly.

"Hahaha……"

Prince Duan and Blind Shoufu laughed heartily, which made this innocent little girl amused, but even if they were beaten to death, they would never have imagined that she also used this posture last night, lying in Zhao Guanren's arms, eating tongue and kissing, and chatting about men and women Things.

"Grandpa Ge! Ning'er asks you a question. There are several steps to put an elephant into the closet..."

The little princess jumped up with a grimace, and the two looked at each other for a moment. Xia Shoufu hesitated and said, "How can an elephant fit into this closet? I'm afraid it will be difficult for a small elephant!"

"It can't be stuffed in even if it's choppy..."

Prince Duan looked at her in astonishment, but the little princess smiled and said, "You guys are stupid! Of course the wardrobe in the elephant's house is very big. Just open the cabinet, kick the elephant in, and then close the door. ! Haha~"

"Ha~"

Xia Shoufu said with a smile: "The Princess is deeply favored by the Holy One, and she is indeed extremely intelligent. The old minister is really stupid, it's really incomparable!"

"Then let me ask you again, which came first, the chicken or the egg..."

The little princess proudly crossed her waist, brought out all the brain teasers that Zhao Guanren had said, and tortured them, and the two of them were so confused that they couldn't answer a single question.

"Ghost girl!"

Looking at the "innocent and pure" little girl, Prince Duan couldn't help laughing and said: "Zhao Yunxuan taught you all these nonsense, right? That kid is not serious, don't listen to his nonsense!"

"What nonsense..."

The little princess said arrogantly: "This is to teach you to think about problems from another level, don't always be obsessed with the surface of things, Brother Yunxuan is a person who has learned a lot, alas~ You don't understand after I say it, I'm going out to play bowling Lah, bye!"

"Bye-Bye?"

The prince and Shoufu looked at each other in astonishment, but Xia Shoufu lowered his head and began to think hard, motionless like a log.

"Old man!"

Prince Duan said with a smile: "You are not still entangled with Ning'er's problem, are you? If you want me to say that there must be chickens first, if there are no chickens, then the person will not exist! Haha~"

"Your Highness! Don't you find it strange..."

Xia Shoufu tapped the tea table and said: "Lantai County's big and small troubles are almost all related to Zhao Yunxuan. He found out the corpse plague and the lack of salt. Besides, isn't it like a thief shouting, "Catch the thief?"

"Can't you?"

Prince Duan was surprised and said: "This son is only in his weak years, how can he have such strong skills and scheming, besides, what is he trying to do, is it just for promotion?"
