Funing Hall

Zhao Shiqi returned to the backyard of the Yuanjia tea house, and Yin Mo took off the big fur cloak outside for him, and said, "Uncle Mu is going to check the accounts of each family! It is rare to come back, and Uncle Mu will not be idle. Sir, sit down, maidservant." I'll get you a bowl of noodles! Anyway, it's your birthday, so you have to eat a bowl."

Zhao Shibing acquiesced, and Yin Mo went to work on his own.

Zhao Shiqi got used to it, so he wanted to take out the knife to have a look.He kept the knife in his right sleeve all the time.Because he needs to put the knife, he has always sewn a secret pocket in his sleeve with the opening facing inward. The knife has always been placed inside it well, and he can take it out with just a touch.But at this moment, he didn't touch it. He couldn't help being surprised, and immediately looked at the cuffs on both sides carefully, no!

He got up, took off the gown by himself, and untied the belt indiscriminately, still nothing!

"Ink!!" He immediately shouted out loudly.

Yan Mo ran in and was shocked to see him flustered and disheveled, but she had never seen their husband like this before.

"Knife!"

"what?"

"My knife is missing!"

Yan Mo knows that he has a very precious knife, and he is never willing to use it. When he sleeps, he must press it under the pillow, and when he gets up, he must hide it in his cuff. let touch.

Without waiting for Yin Mo to speak again, Zhao Shiqi said again: "Look for it! Look for it in the carriage! Look for it in the cloak!"

"Yes yes yes! The servant girl is looking for it, sir, don't worry, don't worry!" Yan Mo turned to look for it.

Zhao Shiqi was really panicked, he even trembled a little.

That was his only thought.

How can it be lost? !

Yin Mo searched all over, but couldn't find it, so he came back and looked carefully at the cuff of his coat. There was a hole in the hidden pocket on the side where the knife was usually kept.

Zhao Shiqi wore black clothes all the year round, and if he didn't look carefully, he really couldn't see the small cut.

Yan Mo opened his mouth and showed him, but Zhao Shiqi didn't speak.Seeing that there was a look of grievance on his face, Yan Mo felt uncomfortable, and felt in the secret pocket again, and found a few small gold coins in the corner, she handed them to him, and whispered: "Mr. here I am."

Zhao Shiqi remained silent, with more grievances appearing on his face.

It must be before going up to clean up the trash, when he stuffed the golden scorpion into the hidden pocket, the knife changed its position slightly during the movement.Later, he raised his sword to write, and carried people into the carriage again, and his movements were even bigger, that's how the hole came about.

He lost the knife.

He still didn't speak, and looked down at the little peach blossom in his palm.

Yin Mo felt distressed.

After Zhao Shiqi slowed down, he did not give up and continued to search.

At the same time, two rows of guards suddenly came out of the Xihua Gate in the palace.

The leader among them sighed and said, "Your Majesty hasn't given up yet."

"It is said that today is the birthday of that young man, His Majesty may be..."

"Oh, that's all, let's look for it, we can't find it anyway."

"Yeah, the person died long ago, how can I find it?"

They got on their horses, spread out, and once again found Zhao Shishi, whom they couldn't find at all.

Be it Zhao Cong or Zhao Chen, they all seemed to come alive suddenly.

He didn't even have time to ask Fu Lu about the origin of the knife, but when Fu Lu said that it was found in the carriage where the Le'an County Lord was fascinated, he waved his hands and refused to listen.He didn't want to hear bad words again.

Now he is only immersed in the great news that Xiao Shiyi is not dead.

If Xiao Shiyi had died, the knife would have sunk along with it!

This knife is the only one in the world!He wrote the words "Little Eleven" on the handle of the knife!Where the knife is, there must be people too!Even if the knife falls into the hands of others, with the knife, there is a clue!

He will definitely find Xiao Shiyi again!

He got up, didn't sleep anymore, and walked back and forth in the room excitedly.

Just at this time, King Hui asked to see him.

King Huijun was so anxious that he wanted to come into the palace at night, it seems that what happened to Zhao Shu'an was indeed premeditated.He was very excited at this time, and immediately ordered Fulu to invite King Hui to come in.

People from Huijun Prince's Mansion found the carriage at the back door and saw the word "Sun" written on the body of Butler Liu. What else do they not understand?

Now that the Sun family is in decline, they still have the guts.King Hui is just such a daughter, how can he bear it?Zhao Shu'an's older brothers and younger brothers even wished they could take their knives and go to Uncle Zhongxiao's mansion to chop off that Sun Zhuqing immediately.

Zhao Kelu didn't say much, didn't change his clothes, and went directly to the palace to see Zhao Cong.

When Zhao Cong heard that Sun Zhuqing did this again, he was only angrier.

After hearing what Zhao Kelu had said, he asked, "Is that person really from the Sun family?"

"I don't know who wrote the word 'Sun' with blood on his body. Our family has always had some contacts with Uncle Zhongxiao's family. It is said that he is indeed a familiar face." After Zhao Kelu said, his eyes darkened, "I can't do it at this time. Just go to the Sun's house to get someone, not to mention, it's such a thing!" Zhao Kelu said at the end, his voice was extremely angry.

Zhao Cong understood too well.

As long as there are other things today, he can immediately make decisions for the Prince Hui's mansion openly, and this is exactly what happened.How to explain to others?Mr. Dalang of Dao Na Zhongxiao Bo's Mansion was stunned by Le'an County Lord, so he came to Zhongxiao Bo's Mansion to take someone?Do you still want the reputation of Le'an county magistrate?

From the top to the bottom of Uncle Zhongxiao's mansion, no one has any official position or errands, so there is really nothing to punish.

Zhao Cong got up, walked back and forth a few steps, turned to Zhao Kelu and said, "Second Brother, this matter should not be made public, otherwise it will be bad for An Niang's reputation, but I will definitely be on Second Brother's side."

What this means is that even if you, Zhao Kelu, find someone to treat Sun Zhuqing in private, he, Zhao Cong, will have nothing to say.

What Zhao Kelu wanted was the same sentence. He is the king of Huijun, and there are many ways to punish Sun Zhuqing in private. As long as His Majesty allows him, he can do it freely.

But he still said: "Where is the Queen Mother?"

Empress Dowager Sun has been very quiet in recent years, but because of her silence, there is no way to do anything to her.She has to attend every event on the scene. After all, she is from the Sun family, and she doesn't even bother with Uncle Zhongxiao's residence.This time to rectify Sun Zhuqing, but he can't say it on the bright side, what if the Empress Dowager Sun intervenes to stop him?

Zhao Cong smiled: "Second brother, don't worry, my lady has been very leisurely these few years, besides, my lady has always been the most fair." He will make people look at the Queen Mother carefully, why worry?

Only then did Zhao Kelu feel completely relieved and wanted to leave.

Zhao Cong hurriedly asked again: "Second brother, what about the carriage?"

Zhao Kelu came back to his senses, and immediately said: "Look at how anxious I am, Your Majesty, the matter of the carriage is still under investigation. At that time, I and Shu Hua were both outside, and it was the woman in the backyard who found the carriage outside the back door. When it was discovered, the carriage had already disappeared. I stopped there for a long time. I asked carefully, but no one heard the sound, and there is no one living behind our palace, so it is not yet possible to find out who is so kind."

He thought Zhao Cong was worried about them, so he asked such detailed questions, and he couldn't help feeling a little grateful in his heart.

Zhao Cong was indeed worried about Zhao Shu'an, but he actually wanted to know where the knife came from.But after hearing this answer, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. What if it was only a dream in Spring and Autumn?

After he hesitated, Zhao Kelu said again: "The princess cried when she saw that it was our An Niang inside. She didn't check and immediately sent An Niang back to the yard. It was the maid next to the princess who saw the gun in the carriage. The knife, the carriage is covered with carpets, similar in color to the knife, if it weren’t for the bright gems on it, it would be invisible. Just at this time, the minister came back from the outside, and Mr. Fu also came to our house, so he wanted to leave the knife. Your Majesty , but there is something strange about that knife?"

It is not well known that Zhao Cong made a knife for Zhao Shiyi, so Zhao Kelu naturally did not know about it.

Zhao Cong paused, shook his head, and said, "No problem."

After Zhao Kelu heard it, he knew that there must be a reason for this knife, otherwise Fulu would not be like that when he saw it.But His Majesty obviously didn't want to say anything, so he didn't ask any more, so he went home.

Zhao Cong continued to walk back and forth in the room, walked back and forth countless times, and then went to look at the knife on the table.

The red and sapphire inlaid on it is even more dazzling than the one five years ago, and the words "Little Eleven" are extremely clear, and time seems to have never passed on this knife.

He couldn't sleep, because it was the Shangyuan Festival, and he had to rest for three days in court again, so he didn't need to go to court the next day.

After Zhao Kelu left, Rantao came in, trying to persuade him to sleep, but seeing how excited he was, he couldn't open his mouth after all.Zhao Cong didn't need anyone to stay indoors, so he waved her out.

Ran Tao sighed as soon as he got outside, Fu Lu came up from the steps and asked, "Sister, why are you sighing?"

"Your Majesty doesn't want to sleep and rest." Rantao looked at him, "You are really confused, you shouldn't have shown that knife to Your Majesty, if Mr. Xiao Lang is still alive, how can there be no news for five years? The matter of County Lord An was done by Sun Zhuqing again. The Sun family has always been ambitious, and Mr. Xiao Lang once made them lose face. It can't be said that when Mr. Xiao Lang was kicked out of Kaifeng Mansion, they were so angry that they were taken away by His Majesty. He lost his title, and took his anger out on Mr. Xiao Lang! Let me tell you, the person who harmed Mr. Xiao back then might have a part in the Sun family! Floating on the boat and doing bad things, who can see it? That knife is exquisite, and the light Gemstones are the best of the best, who wouldn't be jealous? I'm afraid it's not..." Rantao didn't say anything in the end, maybe it wasn't those villains who killed Mr. Xiaolang and snatched the knife away.

"Oh, sister, when I saw that knife, I didn't think much about it, just—"

"Your Majesty went out to look at the lamp today, and was willing to forget the past with great difficulty. How can this be good? Just wait and see, the guards still can't find anyone."

Fu Lu immediately blamed himself very much, he and Ran Tao looked at the yard and frowned and said nothing.

And just as Rantao said, the guards searched all night but found no one.

When he came back to report to Zhao Cong, although Zhao Cong was mentally prepared, he was still disappointed to hear such a report, but he managed to pull himself together and said: "Keep looking."

Dianqiansi also felt helpless in his heart, and sighed, but he had no choice but to go out and order people to continue searching.

Zhao Cong was frantically looking for Zhao Shishi.

However, Zhao Shibing was also frantically looking for the knife. He even went out with Li Mo and searched every road he traveled last night, but he still found nothing.He really wasn't a flustered person, but at the moment he was both flustered and violent.He walked back to West Street, followed the road yesterday to find it again, and bumped into someone accidentally, and he stared angrily when he turned around.

The one who was hit was a little lady, she was angry at first, but when she saw his appearance, she couldn't help being a little crazy.

The two of them were standing in the middle of the street, at this moment, a line of guards came from a distance, pulling the man and asking questions one by one.The little lady regained her senses, she was also followed by the envoy, and immediately said: "Third lady, the guards in the palace are probably looking for someone, let's go back quickly, Da Lang will be worried if we come back late."

The little lady didn't speak, and glanced at Zhao Shiqi quietly.

Zhao Shiqi didn't care, he frowned and looked at the line of guards.At a glance, he knew that they were not the personal guards of Zhao Cong's noble children, but they were also Zhao Cong's personal guards, but their identities were slightly different.

He was wondering why these people came out, but the guards had already found behind him, and one of them whispered: "Boss, what does that young gentleman look like now? There is no appearance, no portrait, we just put Kaifeng Mansion has been turned over, but I can't find it!"

The chief guard said angrily: "You have nothing to say! Find it!"

When Zhao Shiqi heard this, he was a little stunned.

The guards have pulled a son behind him to check carefully.

The man frightened: "My lord, I didn't do anything, don't catch me!!"

"Be honest! How old are you this year?"

"I, I am sixteen!"

"Where do you live?..."

Zhao Shiqi raised his foot and left immediately. The chief guard saw his back and wanted to stop him, but he saw that he was so tall, he didn't look like a 16-year-old man at all, and he was dressed luxuriously, like a man from a rich family , did not speak in the end.

Zhao Shiqi escaped unharmed.

The little lady who was hit by Zhao Shiqi just now was still looking at the direction Zhao Shiqi was leaving with affection.

Turning into the alley, Yin Mo immediately said: "Sanlang! Those people are looking for you?!"

Zhao Shiqi was silent.

"Let's go back to Hangzhou quickly!"

What happened in the palace back then, Zhao Shiqi never told anyone, and Yi Mo only thought that he had some grudges with the officials in the palace, and now he saw that the guards were looking for someone like this, and they caught Erlang, who was the same age, on the street. Asked, she was very worried.No matter how powerful Mr. Lang is in Hangzhou, he is also secretive. How can he fight against the imperial power?

Furthermore, how would they reveal their whereabouts when they sneaked back?

Zhao Shiqi thought of other things.

Why did Zhao Cong suddenly look for him like this?

Why is it this time.

He was already "dead" at the beginning, did Zhao Cong know other things?

He couldn't help feeling a little worried, feeling faintly that his knife might have fallen where it shouldn't.It was rare for him to do good deeds yesterday, and for Zhao Cong's sake, he saved Zhao Shu'an once.

Did the knife fall there during the tugging?

He immediately frowned even tighter.
