for king

The middle of the night is finalized, the voices of people on the street are silent, there is only a bright moon in the vast sky, and there is a vast land below, with no trace of people.

Suddenly an agile figure appeared in the eaves, against the background of snow and moon, he was as familiar as a flying swallow treading snow.

As usual, the gate was guarded by only two soldiers in black armor. Looking outside, it was about the same size as an ordinary government office. In addition, two clusters of raging fires were burning to illuminate the front of the door. If you look closely, there are three vigorous characters written on the door: Chang'an Division.

This is not the first time that black shadow has come, but I don't know how many times it has been inquired about, and how many times it is hiding in the dark place. Looking up, there was a large shadow covering the top of his head. It turned out that the dark clouds covered the moon, which happened to cover his figure.

He was overjoyed secretly, and was about to gather his breath to move, not wanting to hesitate for a moment, but actually saved his life, he only heard a voice from over there, "Lord Zhao!"

It turned out that a tall, thick-faced, big-eyed man came over from the prison at this time, followed by two teams of guards, looking around, "Is there anyone suspicious?"

"My lord, I will wait three floors inside and three floors outside to guard, and I will definitely not let him fly in."

The big man said, "After two days, we will sacrifice to heaven, we need to send more people. There must be no mistakes."

"The key is in the palace, who is so bold as to dare to break into two forbidden places?"

Zhao Zhuang snorted coldly, "Someone wants to go to Tiger Mountain."

The black figure was hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity, when he heard the key, he couldn't help frowning.

The big man stood at the door, not in a hurry to leave, he walked back and forth, this man is the commander of Chang'an Division, and no one would object to him saying that he is the number one expert in the palace. For Wei's sake, Hei Ying thought that he was no match for him, and heard him say that he had spent two days worshiping the heavens, so he had other considerations in his heart, but he had already arrived, and he didn't want to let go of the opportunity.

Zhao Zhuang walked back and forth several times at the door, and suddenly heard a click on the top of a tree in the distance.

The person next to him didn't know, so he said, "My lord, are you still leaving?"

Zhao Zhuang frowned, and strode over, but saw that the place where the sound was made was empty, and was about to leave, but felt something was wrong, and shouted, "Torch!"

The entourage took a torch and took a picture on the ground, and there were two faint footprints on the ground.

He immediately sent people to search, and transferred the guards one by one. In an instant, Chang'an Siqian was already in a state of no one.

At this time, suddenly there was a figure flashing at the door, and someone had already slipped in.

The dungeon wasn't that big.Emperor Fan ruled the world with benevolence, ordinary murderers and arsonists would not even have the opportunity to come here to see the world, and the black shadow came in and out several times, so he quickly found the place, stunned the guard, and took out the key under him , open the door.

The man no longer knelt today, but lay on the stone bed with his back facing the stone wall, his eyes closed tightly, as if he was in some pain.

"Yang Huang?"

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the black shadow, "...Why are you here?"

"I'll come and see you. Why are your hands so hot? Do you have a fever?" Heiying suddenly said, "I'll take you away now."

"Don't, don't...I can't go."

Hei Ying didn't wait for him to say more, split the chains of the prison with his bare hands, and walked up to him in two or three steps.Just as he was about to hug him on his back, he heard a strange sound of iron chains colliding.

He walked around behind him puzzled, and carefully looked at the shadows between the stone walls.

——I saw two iron chains as thick as a child's wrist piercing through the position of his shoulder blades; a big lock was thrown on his slender back.

The black shadow jumped back along the way it came from, ran heavily for about three or four miles, then turned around and went to another place suddenly.

This time he was much more at ease, and he stunned the drowsy guards in two or three strokes, dodged into the cell, entered the cell, and did the same thing, knocking down the patrolling cell bosses one after another.

At this time, the Xueye Prison was as cold as ice, every room was littered with chaos, but almost no one slept soundly.

A few people even sleep on the side of the fence without heart. Seeing a black figure at this time, they put down several people in an instant, like ghosts, and they all became restless, begging, flattering and even threatening him. Never forget.

However, the man in black ignored them at all, and patrolled the prison for a long time before finally reaching a quiet corner in the innermost corner.

There is a man sitting in that prison.

This person is out of place in this prison. Although he is wearing prison clothes and his hair is loose, he does not look sloppy, but his body is thin, perhaps because he is cold. He sits with his knees hugged, his body trembling slightly.

The man in black split the lock and walked over slowly.

The man raised his face to look at him, and there seemed to be a trace of disdain in his eyes.

The man in black said lightly, "Let's go, don't come back."

The man was unmoved by the wind, sitting as firmly as a mountain.

Instead, the man in black wondered, "I was entrusted by someone to save you, why don't you go out?"

The man said, "50 shi of grain was destroyed by Wen Zheng. According to the law, he should be executed. I, Wen Zheng, escaped with my life for a while, but I couldn't escape my conscience."

The man in black didn't want him to be so stubborn, "It's not Mr. Wen's fault for burning food, why not keep it green for a while?"

The man sneered, "Go back and tell the person who entrusted you. I was soft-hearted that day. Changing the account name for him was a big mistake in my life. Now that the court is troubled by internal and external troubles, I don't intend to add to the troubles of the Holy One, so I didn't tell him. Repent in time; if he doesn't want to stop, Wenzheng will be the first to expose him in the future, not to mention the green mountains, and there will be no dry wood left, just to return Tianqi to a clean country."

The man in black was taken aback when he heard this, "Master Wen knows who cooked the food? Why didn't you report it to the Holy Majesty immediately, so as to lessen your guilt?!"

The prisoner frowned, "Who are you? Who sent you here?"

He didn't know what to think, his face turned pale, and he glanced at this person again.

Little did he know that the other party was also looking at him, surprised on both sides, and asked again, but both sides refused to say any more. Seeing that the candlelight was gone, and the guards would wake up at some point, the man in black was already a little impatient, and forcibly untied Wen Zheng's body. He wanted to pull people away without chains, but he still refused to appreciate the clinker, "I won't leave."

Their voices were not loud, but their actions fell into the eyes of others, and they only heard people say, "My good boy! Little brother, this guy doesn't know what is good or bad, why don't you save my brothers out, I'm Qishan and five monsters, I always Gratitude."

The man in black ignored him, and was about to forcibly take the man away, but he didn't want to hear a strange movement from the other end, his hearing was surprisingly good, and upon hearing this sound, he immediately led the man away.

"噗——" A knife hit the place where he was standing just now. He turned around and saw that Wen Zheng was not injured, and saw a black figure flashing around the corner. He frowned, and he had already chased after him.

After leaving the cell, I saw the black shadow running far away, and jumped onto the roof. The man in black immediately used his strength to follow behind the man.

The two moved forward, one behind, and after chasing for about ten miles, the black figure seemed to have changed his mind and turned around to fight the man in black.

It's just that he was not as ruthless as before, he seemed to be just trying to find out the details of the man in black, after fighting for about ten rounds, he turned around and wanted to leave again.

The man in black taught him to tease him like this, he was unwilling to let him go, but he also tried to see how familiar this man's skills are, and he didn't want to miss the clue, so he immediately used lightness kung fu to chase after him.

Unexpectedly, this person was very cunning, he came to a long street, because he was very familiar with this place, he was like a dragon swimming in the sea, and like a fleeting shadow, he was very comfortable and relaxed.

The man in black had practiced for a long time and had to stop to catch his breath. At this moment, he lost his trace.

At this time, the sky was already pale, and the man in black didn't dare to look for him again, and it would be impossible to return to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice at this time, so he had to hide his body and go back to his residence.

At dawn that day, crows screamed for no reason in the Prince's Mansion, disturbing people's minds.

At that time, Fan Qin sorted out the schedule of offering sacrifices to heaven reported by the Ministry of Rites, his thoughts were interrupted several times, he asked people to find out the crow's nest, stabbed them all, there were about a dozen of them.

Not wanting to sit down for less than a moment, the crows circled the tree three times and had no branches to rely on, so they had to circle the mansion, or landed on the top of the snow, but their crows were even more miserable.

Fan Qin frowned, his face uncertain.

Suddenly, a person came to report, "Your Highness, Your Highness Ninth Prince is asking to see you."

He only suspected that he heard it wrong, "Who?"

"Your Highness Nine, Sir Minister, if Your Highness doesn't want to see guests, this servant will send them away..."

The servant buried his head and said a few words, but didn't listen to the answer, suddenly a gust of wind passed in front of his eyes, leaving only the back of His Royal Highness.

Fan Qin walked quickly, and saw a man standing in the hall from a distance, still in a green shirt, Fan Qin stepped forward and called softly, "Xiaoxie, why are you here?"

Langye smiled and said, "Your Highness, have you forgotten?"

Ever since Fan Qin got married that night, he had never been to his house again, thinking that he came by himself now, so he couldn't help but smile, "How can I forget. Last year Aunt Fu made some cured meat, I just boasted, you Said to do it again this year and send it to me... If you have a heart, just let the servants send it, why do you still make a trip by yourself. "

Although the last sentence was a question, it was still joyful.

Langye said, "I also thought that I haven't visited His Highness for a long time, so I took this opportunity to visit."

At this time, a woman walked in Yingying holding a teacup, Nuonuo said, "Your Highness, please have some tea."

Langye knew that she was the concubine Lu Yu, and she hadn't seen her on the wedding day, and only now did she see her true face. She was indeed a Jiangnan beauty with a graceful figure and a peach blossom face, and hurriedly said, "I have seen the concubine. .”

The woman smiled slightly and looked at Fan Qin, but Fan Qin didn't even look at her, "You go out first."

Langxie's eyes chased her far away, Fan Qin coughed lowly, "It must be that the matter of visiting me is not true, there must be something else for me, let's talk about it."

Langye laughed and said, "Your Highness is wise..."

"It's my fault for talking too fast. There is an acquaintance who loves landscape paintings. Two days ago, I mentioned that there is a "Picture of Outing in Spring" in His Royal Highness's mansion. This person pestered and begged to see it. I couldn't do anything about him. I have no choice but to bother His Highness," he peeked at Fan Qin's face, "Don't worry, Your Highness, that painting is so precious, and it's His Highness's favorite, I know it, if His Highness doesn't want to, I'll just say yes.”

"I love you..." Fan Qin muttered a few words, his eyes locked on Langxie's face, seeing that he was not unfamiliar with him even after that night, he smiled wryly, "If you ask for it, I will naturally ask for it." I won’t be unwilling to give it to you, but who is that acquaintance? Do I know him?”

Langya said, "Your Highness must have heard of it, but in fact... he is right outside the door."

"Oh? Why don't you come in? It's very cold and waiting outside."

Langye said, "He has a low status, and he dare not step into His Highness's residence without His Highness's permission."

Hearing his words, Fan Qin already guessed who it was, and sighed, "Xiaoxie, since when did you talk around things? Let him in."

When Langye led the person in, the young man bowed his head and bowed, "Wenzhen has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Fan Qin was picking up the teacup to drink, when he heard this sound, he stopped his movements and saw that he was really a young man with sparse brows and eyes, although his appearance was only one or two points like his second brother at first glance, but his clothes and posture added three At first, I thought I had taken it lightly, but now I still felt a pain in my heart, and I felt a little regretful, so I said lightly, "Get up."

"You are the one who wants to see "A Picture of Outing in Spring"?"

"Return to Your Highness, it's a villain."

"You're guarding the door, but I'm sure I'll show it to you?" The sound suddenly sank.In the end, he was a crown prince, with a royal prestige, and he could not lift his head up just by asking a question.

"Wen Zhen didn't dare. It was only after hearing His Highness the Ninth Prince's talk that she became infatuated for a while, so she had the courage to come to His Highness's mansion."

Fan Qin looked at Wenzhen, saw him with his head down, and Langxie standing beside him, Baba looked at himself, and finally said, "Come with me."

The three of them went to the study.

Fan Qin told the bookboy, "Go and fetch "The Picture of Outing in Spring."

He took the official business from the table and put it on the side shelf.

Suddenly hearing the sound of "quack" from outside, he smiled wryly at Langxie, "Today the crows are always screaming, which makes people feel uncomfortable."

While looking at the Prince's study, Langye casually said, "Perhaps there is less food."

Fan Qin really thought so, and hurriedly called someone to the courtyard to sprinkle some food for the crows.

Wen Zhen looked at the Prince's back, frowned, suddenly felt a pain in her palm, and saw Lang Xie staring at her very sharply.

The two looked at each other for a long time, but it was Wen Zhen who lowered her head first.

As soon as Fan Qin came back to his senses, he saw the two of them standing shaking hands, one with downcast eyes, the other with doting eyes, seeing himself as invisible, immediately displeased, "Yu'er, why are you so slow in drawing a picture?"

Fan Qin has a lot of calligraphy and paintings, which were rewarded by the emperor, and the courtiers voted for them. Many famous paintings from the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the Northern Song Dynasty were collected. Hearing his urging, she became even more flustered, even answered "here it is", and finally brought the painting, but it was a handful of scrolls, and Wen Zhen looked straight at it.

Fan Qin said, "What are you looking for so much?"

"His Royal Highness has too many paintings. Last time the Crown Princess tidied up and prevented the servant from interfering, the servant disappeared."

Fan Qin said displeased, "The place of the study, the secret of the country, what is she doing here as a woman?"

He didn't want anyone to answer, and asked the other two bookboys to look for paintings together. Wen Zhen was also willing to be a bookboy, and asked to go there to search.

Fan Qin and Langye stood aside, Fan Qin was about to let him go out to sit for a while, when a person came to report, "Your Highness, something is wrong!"

The two looked at each other, and Fan Qin said, "What's the fuss?"

"Last night, someone sneaked into the Prison of the Ministry of Justice and killed Mr. Shang Shuwen of the Household Department!"

There was a sound of "boom", as if someone fell in the study room, and then a few little book boys whispered, "Master Wen? Master Wen?"

Langxie got up to see him, "Wenzhen?"

Wen Zhen has been helped up, but a red mark on the forehead is very eye-catching, several book boys looked at each other, "Your Highness, Young Master Wen got up and bumped into the bookcase just now."

Langye took his hand and let him lean on her.

Fan Qin said, "Xiaoxie, Xiyan is now in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and I am sending a message to find you."

Langye said, "I'll go right away." Looking at Fan Qin again, "Wen Zhen, please Your Highness..."

"I'll find someone to take him back."

Langxie nodded and was about to leave, but Wenzhen grabbed the corner of his clothes and called out "Your Highness, take me..." Although he looked calm, he was only a child after all. After a while, when I heard that one person had died and another head was bumped, I couldn't help but act coquettishly.

But where can Langye take him?Squeezed his hand, "I'm going to do something right now, be good, go back earlier, and come to see you when I have time." He brushed his hand away cruelly, said goodbye to Fan Qin, and went there.

At this time, his heart was also extremely chaotic, several scenes were intertwined in his mind like a mess, facing the endless wind and snow, his heart suddenly became cold and hard.

Hurrying to the prison, Wen Zheng was no longer there, and there was only a bloodstain left on the dry grass in the prison. Xi Zifan was squatting by the side to search, and when he saw him, his expression was solemn, "Master Wen, he..."

When Langye saw the blood, he believed the sentence that Lord Wen was killed, and looked up at Xiyan, "Where's the person?"

"Yali."

Langye turned around, Xiyan followed, "I just interrogated the culprit, and then I found out that someone came to look for Mr. Wen last night."

"Do you know the identity of the visitor?"

"They were all covered, but there were three of them."

"Three people?" Langye paused.

"That's right. There are a few sleepless people over there. They are called the Five Monsters. They used this to bargain with me today. They said that a man in black came to break the lock first, but this man really came to save him. Unexpectedly, Wen Da The man refused to leave, and between the two of them, another man came to lure the man in black away... After walking away for a long time, someone came and killed Mr. Wen."

Langye frowned, "How do you know it wasn't one of those two who returned?"

Xi Yan shook his head, "I heard from the prisoner that this man became much thicker later on, and his figure was different from the first two. I just don't know if this man is an accomplice of the man who fired the hidden weapon."

While speaking, he hurried to the room.

At first sight, Wen Zheng was lying on the stone slab with a peaceful expression, as if he was asleep.It's just that there is no blood on his face, and there is a dark blood stain on his chest, which seems to be killed by a sharp knife.

Langxie couldn't help stripping his clothes to see what happened, but was stopped by Xi Yan, "Don't touch it. On the day Mr. Wen was imprisoned, the emperor once said that Mr. Wen has a lot to do with him and must be carefully guarded, do you remember? "

Langye nodded, "You and I have been on guard for two nights, but no one came, so others were added."

"If I had known this before, I would have personally guarded it. Mr. Wen is a pillar. Even if he committed the crime of dereliction of duty, he shouldn't end up like this."

Looking at Wen Zheng's face, Langye felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wen will not die in vain. The murderer will be caught soon."

Langya said seriously, "That's right. Pass me the dagger."

Xi Zifan handed it to him, and saw that he studied the dagger carefully and did not take his own words to heart, "What I said was not comforting, you can't touch him at this time."

"Why?" Langye frowned.

"I went to see you last night. I was looking for you to discuss, but Wen Zhen was there, and I forgot about it later. In fact, yesterday, I put a kind of incense on Mr. Wen."

Langye looked up at Xiyan.

Xi Yan also looked straight at him, "This incense was given to me by Mr. Sun when I complained about Meixiang to Mr. Sun.

"It is said to be a kind of fragrance made of a rare iris flower that grows in the mountains. People can smell it without any smell, but there is a kind of ice butterfly that is naturally attached to this iris flower. When it smells something with its fragrance, no matter how you wash it, You won’t miss it even if you rub it, even if you are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, you will chase it away. He joked that it was “chasing fragrance” and said that we can also use it to “chasing murderer”. Prophecy.

"So you can't touch it. If you touch it, it can't be washed off."
