It turned out that several people were at the inn that day, and Zhan Zhao did not go back to Kaifeng Mansion with Wang Chao and Ma Han, but came to Dali with Mr. Gongsun, Shizi and others.

Before entering Dali City, Mr. Gongsun proposed to find someone to hide behind everyone and secretly investigate the situation of the King of Dali, in order to prevent the eunuchs from mixing with the prince, or the people on the prince's side were bought and betrayed.

Mr. Gongsun came here on behalf of the Kaifeng government and the imperial envoys. He is the face of the group, and it is impossible to hide behind his back.

And the status of Pang Yu, the Marquis, is very useful at critical moments. If he can't convince the public with his status as the prince, An Lehou, as the envoy of the Song Dynasty and a relative of the emperor, can still bluff people, at least not let those who are interested The prince was bullied.

As for Bai Yutang, due to the unspoken reason, he would be dissatisfied even if Pang Yu was not in front of him for more than a quarter of an hour, so how could he be willing to hide in the dark and cover up even his words?

What's more, his martial arts haven't fully recovered yet, even if he wants to go, Pang Yu will stop him--people who haven't recovered from their injuries should just sit quietly, don't make fun of your body, Kaifeng Mansion's martial arts are strong It's not just Bai Yutang alone, there are other people available.

So Zhan Huwei, who is also highly skilled in martial arts, becomes a brick, which needs to be moved wherever he needs to go.

Fortunately, Zhan Zhao didn't care too much, he was mostly alone when he went out to handle cases, and he was cool and unrestrained.Moreover, he is good at light work, and the efficiency of spying by himself is actually higher. As long as he is not defending like a skyscraper, he can enter the land of no one anywhere.

Zhan Zhao is not a person who can talk politely, he opened the door and entered the mountain as soon as he entered, "I found where the King of Dali is."

"Really?" Shi Zi stood up quickly.

He has been busy with these three murders in the past two days. If any one of the things that He Siqi did by that bastard is leaked out, it will be enough to make the Duan family a laughing stock in the entire Dali Kingdom, making other clans eager to move, and then affecting Duan. 's foundation.

However, the prince promised that the people in the city would give them an explanation, and it would definitely not work to tell the truth directly.But it is even more impossible to cover up He Siqi and cover up his crimes.

Killing for life is punishable by law, which is justified.

You can't just let him go just because he is involved in the secrets of the palace.

What's more, this person has the audacity to threaten him with the safety of the old prince. The prince hates him so much, but he still has nothing to do with him for the time being, not to mention how aggrieved he is.

Probably the only thing that could comfort the son was that when He Siqi was assassinating that night, he was accidentally injured by the hidden weapon of the young master. Although the son didn't express anything on the surface, he thought happily in his heart: deserve it!Nemesis!

Zhan Zhao said: "Not long after you arrived in Dali City, the head of the palace sent someone out secretly. That person was sneaky, so I followed him all the way until I came to Duan's mausoleum. He came out not long after he went in. We waited After he left, he also sneaked in, and found that there was a dark room in the mausoleum, I was not familiar with the mechanism, so I didn't rush in, and tried to talk to the people inside, but unfortunately the other party didn't reply."

The prince asked, "How do you know that is my father?"

"Although the other party didn't reply, he managed to hand something out from the gap in the dark room." As he spoke, Zhan Zhao carefully saw a thin piece of paper taken out from his pocket and handed it to Shizi, "Shizi opened it and took a look. knew."

The son opened it according to his words, only to see four short words on it: save the concubine and kill him.

"Concubine" must refer to the princess, not the side concubine. Needless to say, "He" must refer to Mr. He.

It seems that although the old prince has been under house arrest for many days, his head is still very clear. He has accurately judged what Mr. He will do next. Only when the life and power of the princess are preserved, no one can shake the position of the prince.

The king of Dali never thought of letting others inherit his position, and all the kings of Dali in the past would only spend their energy on a child. If the child becomes mature early, they will be able to abdicate early.

So no matter how the second young lady and the third young master behave, unless the prince is dead, they will have a chance.

If so, the King of Dali would not easily believe that his son died just like that. He was under house arrest and didn't know the outside world, so he wouldn't believe what outsiders brought in, and he wouldn't easily write down the imperial edict.

He Siqi pretended to be a genius doctor and put the king of Dali under house arrest in a dark room without killing him. One was to let him write down the edict to pass the throne to the third son, and the other was for the sake of the 37 barbarian tribes.

Only the King of Dali and his son know how to order the 37 barbarian tribes. Except for the King of Dali and the future king, no one can make them completely surrender.

This is also the reason why He Siqi and the people behind him sent assassins to assassinate the prince, but put King Dali under house arrest.Two people, as long as one person is in hand is enough, the other is completely unnecessary.

But now that the son returned to Dali Kingdom, He Siqi couldn't get what he wanted from the King of Dali, so the people hiding behind He Siqi had no choice but to change their previous strategy from assassination to covert support.

It's just that He Siqi's assassination that night was a real failure. Even though the masked man had already made up for it from behind, it still made Pang Yu and Bai Yutang suspicious, and made him, who could have been lurking by the prince's side for a long time, Chess pieces lose their use value prematurely.

Mr. He is afraid that he still doesn't know that he has become an abandoned son, and he is still trying to use the old prince's safety to threaten the son.

But with the appearance of Zhan Zhao, his last sliver of luck was gone.

"My son, my son, please spare my life! Seeing that the villain has worked hard for the palace for so many years, and there is no hard work, please be merciful!!" Mr. He didn't care about the surprised and contemptuous looks of others, crying so much that his throat was howling He became dumb, "Although I killed these people, I am not the mastermind! I am willing to confess the mastermind, please forgive me!"

Pang Yu was amazed. He had never seen a thicker-skinned person than Mr. He. A moment ago, when he saw their lack of evidence, he showed off his arrogance, showing off to them how many "great achievements" he had ruined by the lady of the palace.

In the next moment, he was able to humble his posture to the dust. If he hadn't been tied up, Pang Yu had no doubt that he would have thrown himself at Shizi's feet, hugging Shizi's thigh and crying.

This really corresponds to a sentence, people are shameless, and the world is invincible.

The prince didn't want to listen to him cry, so he waved his hand and asked He Siqi to gag: "Send him to the criminal case officer, put the prince under house arrest, poison the princess, seduce the lady of the palace, and murder four people... so many charges, but you can't bear it." Don't let him die too comfortably, let the criminal case officer draw up a charter."

Soon, someone dragged Mr. He out.

Pang Yu looked at the piece of paper that the old lord handed over with difficulty, and suddenly had a bad feeling: "You say... the lord, will he already..."

Bai Yutang held his hand: "What?"

"Look at the writing of the prince, the pen is not strong enough, and occasionally stagnates. Obviously, the body is not weak enough to write with a pen." Pang Yu said worriedly, "It is better for us to find the prince as soon as possible."

Zhan Zhao showed approval: "I think so too. The King of Dali has never said a word to me. I'm afraid it's not because he can't speak, but because he is unable to speak."

The prince's eyes turned red, and he clenched his fists: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go now, please ask the guards to lead the way!"

"Naturally." Zhan Zhao cupped his fists and said, "Everyone, please follow me!"

The people didn't delay any longer, they immediately went on the road, rode for several hours, and finally arrived at the mausoleum of the Duan clan before it was completely dark.

The ancestors of the Duan clan are buried on this mountain. There are several mausoleums. If no one leads the way and searches blindly, it may not be possible to find them after three days and three nights.

Zhan Zhao has a good memory, and by moonlight he led the crowd to find the dark room where the old prince was kept.

"Zhan is ashamed. After searching for a long time, I don't know where the mechanism to open the door of the darkroom is." Zhan Zhao blamed himself.

Mr. Gongsun said in relief: "It's not your fault, Mr. Zhan has done a good job."

The prince also said: "I would also like to thank Zhan Huwei for finding the father. Whether the father is alive or dead, this is a kindness, and Xiao Wang will remember it in his heart."

Zhan Zhao hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and after bringing the person to the door of the dark room, he consciously backed away. It's really not his strong point to use hidden weapons.

Among the people present, Mr. Gongsun probably read the most books and knew a little about Qimen Dunjia, so the venue was naturally given to Gongsun Ce.

However, Mr. Gongsun fumbled for a long time and tried several methods, but the Shimen still didn't move at all, and his forehead was slightly sweaty.

Pang Yu looked at it for a while, then suddenly said: "Sir, is it possible that the mechanism of this door is not in front of our eyes, but somewhere in this passage?"

"You mean..." Bai Yutang seemed to have thought of it too, "Sky Tower?"

Pang Yu nodded: "The mausoleum pays attention to Fengshui. It is necessary to build a dark room in the tomb, and it must be consistent with the Fengshui of the entire tomb. Just like the eight-door formation, each door and each room has a purpose of arrangement, and the opportunity to open a door It may not be right in front of you." He thought for a while, feeling a little embarrassed, "I also heard what Miss Shi said, learning and selling now, I don't know if what she said is right."

A flash of inspiration flashed in Gongsun Ce's mind: "Young Master's words are so true! Just now I was wrong in my judgment. I was only obsessed with the scenery in front of me and didn't start with the overall situation. I would like to thank you, Young Master. Wait a moment, everyone. I'll do the math."

Mr. Gongsun put his four fingers together, clicked a few joints with his thumb, and then pointed in a direction: "Everyone, look over there."

The crowd immediately spread out in the opposite direction, searching inch by inch.Finally, after Bai Yutang moved a stone inlaid on the wall, the door of the dark room made a heavy shifting sound.

They finally met King Dali who had been under house arrest for a long time.
