The Neon Tower

In the gazebo at midnight——

"Has anyone been found?"

"found it."

"Make sure you get your stuff."

"My subordinates dare to ask, how should those people be dealt with?"

"You don't need to deal with it, General Deng will know how to deal with it."

"Yes!"

The black shadow disappeared from the night sky with a flash of lightning.

"The moonlight is pretty good tonight...do you think so?" The man stroked the handle of the folding fan with his fingertips, then clenched it tightly.

Ying Chen walked to Yu's room, saw the two of them talking in the room, and approached with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

"Brother Chen? You came just in time, we were talking about what we discussed just now." Yu wiped the stool beside him with his hand, motioning Ying Chen to sit down.

"Unfortunately, I came here specifically to find you. One is because of the coyotes, and the other is the matter just discussed. I also feel a little suspicious."

"Coyotes? What's wrong with coyotes?" Yu asked puzzled.

"No rush, let's talk about what you guys discussed just now." Ying Chen said.

Yu glanced at Haoyang, and said hesitantly: "We all feel that... the discussion just now is progressing too smoothly."

"I also think, and..." Ying Chen moved closer, and said softly, "This key has been in your hands for at least five years. It's too strange that the right minister is indifferent to the loss of such an important item." Treason and collaborating with the enemy are serious crimes, and whoever gets this key and knows the secret will be able to destroy his nine clans, so if something that endangers oneself is stolen, can the Right Prime Minister try to find it back?"

"Then the right minister is likely to be the scapegoat?" Haoyang asked.

"Hmph, that right minister is extremely cunning, even if he wasn't in charge of this matter, he couldn't get rid of his involvement, but I don't know how much he participated in." Ying Chen laughed dryly and said contemptuously.

"Brother Chen... I remember when I was caught, I was locked in a dark and spacious cell. The torture equipment and furnishings there were different from ordinary cells... and someone asked me where my things were... " Yu held the key tightly, and asked: "Is it possible that what he said is only this key, and that person is the right-hand man?"

"Things?" Ying Chen opened his eyes wide and stared straight at Yu: "Someone asked you where the things are?!"

"Yes." Yu Xu said: "If that person is right-handed, does that mean that he has been looking for the whereabouts of the key, but he just can't find it?"

"Wait, do you remember what that person looks like? Male or female? How old is it?"

"I... was beaten with a swollen nose and a blue face. My eyes were covered with blood and I couldn't see clearly. I could probably tell that it was a middle-aged man from the sound."

"The voice is thick and a little hoarse, and the inertia of the end sound is slightly raised?"

"Yes."

"What's going on..." Ying Chen felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Chen...Brother Chen?" Yu carefully shook Ying Chen's shoulder twice: "What's wrong? Do you have other clues?"

"Hey... but at this time there are more and more troublesome things." Ying Chen paused, and then said: "I was asked the same question by such a person."

"What?" The two on the opposite side said in unison.

"At that time, I was also locked in the cell you mentioned, and a mysterious person with an extraordinary status asked me where my things were..."

Both Yu and Haoyang were stunned. When Ying Chen was arrested, Yu hadn't sneaked into the right minister's mansion yet.

Yu asked: "How is he sure that we will know what he wants? How can he be sure that we have what he wants?"

"I, maybe know what it is, and I deduce that he also knows that I hid it, and he continued to look for it even after I died. Until you appeared, he guessed that I would leave it to you, so You just showed up at the palace, so he's going to be with you...to find out where it is."

Ying Chen dug out a delicate wooden box from his backpack: "What he was looking for... probably this."

"Isn't this... the box in Yu's room?" Haoyang picked it up and asked.

"Why are you here?" Yu opened his eyes wide: "I obviously put it in the secret camp and didn't take it away."

"That's a fake, it's a counterfeit I made by imitating this box." Ying Chen looked at the box seriously: "This is a relic that my sister gave me."

"However, it seems that the two things are not related at all." Haoyang said.

"On the surface there is no connection at all." Ying Chen placed two cups on the table: "But the young curator can think about it carefully. Yu is a convicted collaborator and I am also a felon. It is reasonable to say that he was captured like other brothers." It’s enough to be convicted and then executed, why should I be arrested in that cell? And the question of torture is not why you want to treason, but where is the thing?”

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" Yu Rumeng nodded again and again after waking up from a dream.

"If the culprit who directly led to the unjust death of the cavalry army and the brother of Yunxing Medical Center was the prime minister, then the person behind the scenes is the accomplice who indirectly helped him." Ying Chen said.

"And that person is also an important person in the court." Yu bit his lip and sighed secretly.

"Hmph! Officials protect each other, no wonder our brothers died inexplicably and no one dared to say a word for help." Haoyang said.

"Thinking about it now, the power of the right minister's henchmen in the court can be said to be very strong, and General Deng alone may not be able to support it."

"And Prime Minister Zhen and the prince?" Haoyang said.

"Prime Minister Zhen, like General Deng, disdains alliances with party members, and their disciples and like-minded people do not have enough influence in the court." Yu said with a bit of embarrassment, "As for the prince... Brother Chen, you know it best."

"The prince was originally the choice of the crown prince, but for some reason, he was brushed down. He was replaced by the current emperor by accident. The current emperor fears him and has always emptied his power. He has the title and treatment of the prince for nothing. It doesn't matter what you say." Ying Chen lowered his eyes and looked at the box again: "If the prince can sit on the dragon seat, maybe we won't have to end up where we are now... and we won't have harmed an innocent king. "
