Lin Zhiyu subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but Zhou Tingchen held her hand unable to move.

Under his guidance, the tip of the knife moved forward an inch.

Lin Zhiyu was shocked and angry: "Are you crazy?"

"Didn't you always want to kill me?" Zhou Tingchen looked calm and was completely unaware of the stinging pain in his chest.

"Clang!"

He suddenly let go and the dagger fell to the ground.

Lin Zhiyu took a few steps back and rubbed her wrist: "My advice ends here. It's up to you whether you want to stay or go."

After that, he pushed open the door and walked out.

The door with a long coiled pattern opened and closed in front of Zhou Tingchen's eyes, making a sudden loud noise, which was enough to show the owner's aggressiveness.

Only then did Yan Ruyun dare to fall gently from the beam: "Your Majesty?"

He made a motion of wiping his neck.

Zhou Tingchen waved his hand.

"She doesn't want me to die. She doesn't want me to die at this time."

He smiled bitterly and reinserted the dagger on the ground into the scabbard.

"At this time, I am still thinking about my brother."

Yan Ruyun said: "There is no need for the Emperor's three thousand beauties to hang themselves on a tree like Miss Lin."

Her smile appeared in Zhou Tingchen's mind.

Who could he blame?

He was the one who ignored her, and he was the one who was false to her.

"Pack your luggage and set off tomorrow to return to Qin."

……

The Grand Prince's Mansion.

At dawn, a group of forbidden troops surrounded the mansion.

The number is so large that it is more than enough to surround a city.

The leading general said sternly: "The eldest prince Zheng Guanyue attempted to assassinate the Qin envoy and destroy the friendship between the two countries. Your Majesty has an order. Before the matter is clear, the eldest prince is ordered to stay in the house temporarily and not to leave!"

Zheng Guanyue stood under the long corridor with her bare feet and hair hanging loose.

Trapped in the house, he didn't even have a chance to redress his grievances.

Isn't it up to the thoughtful person to decide whether right or wrong is right or wrong?

On the other side, Lin Zhiyu and others also got the news.

Zhou Tingchen left quietly early in the morning, so that even if Chu Nianshan's people wanted to attack again, they would not be able to succeed.

The three of them were sitting at the table. It was a sunny day, but all of them looked solemn.

Lin Zhiyu's eyes were heavy: "What we have to deal with now are two things.

The first thing is the assassination of Zheng Guanyue. If Zheng Ziyan succeeds, it will be detrimental to us. "

"The key to this matter lies in the steward. Early in the morning, Xie Zhi delivered the news, saying that the steward has not yet been executed and is now being held in prison." Lin Wei pointed out the key.

Zhao Sanmei was full of doubts: "Is this Xie Zhi you are talking about credible? When I looked at him from a distance that day, I felt that he was just a playboy. Is it worth his help after just one drink?"

"Of course it's credible," Lin Wei said firmly, "because he is part of the eldest prince's party."

Zhao Sanmei turned to Lin Zhiyu.

Lin Zhiyu explained: "The eldest prince is responsible for envoy matters. At the beginning, everyone distrusted us. Only Xie Zhi not only took the initiative to befriend his brother, but also rode around the city with him.

To others, he seems to be a playboy, but if you think about it more carefully, who is behind him? "

"He is the commander of the Forbidden Army, the one who protects His Majesty." Zhao Sanmei finally figured it out, "So what he means means the meaning of the commander of the Forbidden Army."

Lin Zhiyu shook his head: "More than that."

She dipped her tea in it and wrote the word "forever" on the table.

Zhao Sanmei was shocked: "So it was His Majesty who gave the order?"

"It was not convenient for His Majesty to tell us directly, so he told us about it through Xie Zhi and asked us to investigate.

We are victims and can do many things without so many restrictions. Not only that, officials will also be afraid of the status of envoys and dare not embarrass us. "

Lin Wei nodded approvingly.

She is indeed Lin Wei’s biological sister!

"Your Majesty intends to protect me. No matter how much Zheng Ziyan obstructs me, I will not dare to make a mistake in front of Your Majesty."

Lin Zhiyu continued: "I'm going to see this manager. Time is urgent. Can Xie Zhi find out who he is?"

"We are already investigating," Lin Wei said, "We can send someone over before lunch."

"Where is the third prince?" Zhao Sanmei asked.

"I'll go and keep an eye on it. If necessary, I can borrow some people from Xie Zhi."

Lin Wei took the initiative.

He hangs out with the dandy Xie Zhi, drinks wine and eats in the name of appeasement, so that he won't arouse too much suspicion.

Zhao Sanmei asked anxiously: "What about me?"

"That's the second thing."

Lin Zhiyu wrote another word "Zheng".

“It is to our advantage that the third prince still doesn’t know about the emperor’s departure.

We take the initiative to meet him as Zhou Tingchen. Once he leaves, you can find a way to sneak into his house and see where the things are. "

Zhao Sanmei was a little embarrassed: "There are so many guards, how can we get in?"

"This matter is easy to handle." Lin Zhiyu smiled, "It is said that he has a counselor in his house named Fan Jin. This man is good at food."

Zhao Sanmei's eyes lit up: "Hey, I'm good at this!"

Lin Zhiyu said: "He has a very good taste. In the afternoon, a chef from the restaurant will come to cook for him. Brother, please help me."

"That's natural." Lin Wei quickly glanced at Zhao Sanmei, lowered his head and coughed lightly.

When facing Zhao Sanmei, this brother of his lost his previous free and easy spirit.

We need to find some time to explore their voices.

Lin Zhiyu silently added a third thing to himself.

……

Time turned to the afternoon.

Xie Zhi's subordinate Pei Li was eating and drinking in the other courtyard. Seeing that it was almost time, he came over and asked, "Master Lin, do you want to go to the prison now?"

Lin Zhiyu said: "Wait a minute, let's go to Jile Bank first."

As the name suggests, Paradise Bank is a casino.

The steward's name was Chen Ling, and he had a son, Chen Si, who worked as a laborer in a gambling shop. A few months ago, he had a conflict with a local squire and was jailed.

Someone who knew Xie also asked Chen Si. According to him, his father did have close contacts with the eldest prince. Before the incident, his father had visited him and said that the eldest prince had given him a large sum of money and was waiting for him. Live a good life after prison.

The father works in the eldest prince's house, but the son has to make a living in a gambling house.

This is not a serious job!

Pei Li was puzzled, but Mr. Xie had told him to obey Mr. Lin in everything, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he took the horses and went straight to Jile Bank.

Seeing the familiar scene inside, Lin Zhiyu frowned and couldn't help but think of Master Nian.

Master Nianfang has his own secret, but what about here?

Someone came over and glanced at Lin Zhiyu.

It doesn't look like much money.

"You two, what's going on?"

He sounded disdainful.

Pei Li showed his badge: "I will investigate the case under the orders of Mr. Xie and call your shopkeeper to come over."

The waiter took a closer look and his face turned pale: "Sir, sir, we didn't commit any crime."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Pei Li put away his badge and glared, "Go!"

The waiter ran away like a piss.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a big belly came hurriedly.

"Adults, please speak inside."

He took Lin Zhiyu and Pei Li into the reception room in the backyard.
