Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

Seeing Bai Chen sniffing and researching carefully with the incense burner, Luo Lanye walked over.

"What did you find?"

Bai Chen put down the censer, cupped his hands and said, "Returning to my lord, it seems that the smell left in this censer is not only sandalwood, but also other things."

"Oh?" Luo Lanye picked up the incense burner and smelled it, frowned and said, "It does have a faintly sweet smell, this is the first time I smell this kind of fragrance."

"I think that there may be some external factors in the fifth prince's mad killing." Bai Chen said, "A normal person would not go crazy and kill others for no reason, especially his beloved wife and concubines. This is inappropriate. Common sense."

Luo Lanye nodded and glanced at him, "If you have any opinions, you can speak up."

Bai Chen looked at the royal guards in the house and said, "Can you allow the humble official to see the situation in the house before making a judgment?"

"Okay, you can look around." Luo Lanye is a smart person, so he naturally knew that it was not easy for Bai Chen to make rash inferences here, so he didn't force him to express his opinion.

Bai Chen decided to continue looking for clues.

In addition to the various cabinet drawers, he also searched in the small box next to the bed, even under the bed.

Nothing is found, which is obviously not normal.

If the fifth prince was the one who went berserk and killed immediately after taking the forbidden medicine last night, then there should be leftover pills and dregs here that have not been cleaned up in the future, unless someone came in and took the forbidden medicine while the place was in chaos.

Thinking of this, Bai Chen turned his head and asked the leading imperial guard: "Do you know who entered this room after the incident happened last night?"

The guards happened to be guarding here after the incident. He recalled it and said: "The emperor strictly forbids other people to enter. After the incident, only us and the fifth prince's guards are here."

"Where are the fifth prince's other concubine servants?" Luo Lanye asked.

The guard said respectfully: "The rest of the wives and sons left after the murder."

Luo Lanye summoned the guards of the fifth prince's residence to inquire again, and the answers he got were similar.

"What did the five princes do last night?" Bai Chen asked suddenly.

The guard glanced at him, his expression a little embarrassed, as if he didn't know whether he should speak or not.

"Master Bai, tell the truth if you ask me." said the imperial guard.

"Yes." The fifth prince's bodyguard lowered his head and said, "Yesterday, His Highness the Fifth Prince was no different from before. After dinner, he sat in the courtyard for a while and then went into the room to rest. And, he also called the concubine and Mrs. Linglong... ...After a while, the little one heard a murderous cry, and only after entering the courtyard did he realize that something had happened."

Bai Chen: ...

The fifth prince had a really high time playing, but he actually played three... ahem.

Obviously, he took drugs last night and was very excited. He was going to have an exciting play, but unexpectedly, the dose of drugs was too high, which caused him to have hallucinations and go berserk.

After dismissing the guards, seeing that there was nothing to gain here, Luo Lanye decided to go to see the victim's body.

Several corpses were placed in the nearby cellar of the fifth prince's residence. The fifth prince loved cold drinks and food. There were large ice cubes stored there all the year round for backup, and now it happened to be used for mortuary.

Luo Lanye and Bai Chen took the assistant who had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, and led by the guards, they entered the cellar.

As soon as I entered, I felt a biting chill. The inside was very spacious, and there were ice cubes in containers everywhere.

"My lords, the corpse is stored in the room inside." The leading guard introduced, "The emperor ordered it, so the corpse has not been cleaned, and it is stored as it is."

Luo Lanye nodded: "Well, I will order someone to clean the corpse for a detailed inspection after Wuzuo has made a preliminary inspection of the corpse."

While speaking, everyone entered the hut where the corpse was kept.

It was originally used to store frozen food, and there were rows of cabinets, but now the cabinets are covered with door panels, and four corpses are neatly parked.

All four of them were bloody and bloody, and their death conditions were miserable.Two of them wore very little clothes, and two of them wore middle coats properly.

It was obvious that the concubine Liu Rushui and the concubine Linglong were wearing less clothes, and the other two were Chi Yu who were caught in a fire at the city gate.

"Wu Zuo, let's start." Luo Lanye ordered.

"Yes." Wu Zuo took the order and began to examine the corpse.

You can't bring your young apprentice as a helper when you enter the palace, so Bai Chen inspected with him, Wu Zuo breathed a sigh of relief.

——With Mr. Bo, who has much better autopsy skills than him, he is not afraid.

Liu Rushui's all-powerful face has been stained with blood so that she can't see her true face, and the petticoat that barely covers her vital parts has also been stained muddy by blood, and there are many sword wounds all over her body.

But Bai Chen speculated that the fatal injury should be the sword in the heart.

The scene of Liu Rushui dancing in the empress dowager's palace wearing a white gauze skirt is still in front of her eyes, and now she has become a lifeless corpse.

No one can explain the human condition clearly.

Wu Zuo roughly wiped off the blood stains on the corpse, and began the preliminary inspection.

Both Liu Rushui and his concubine Linglong had multiple stab wounds on their bodies, and both of them were fatally wounded by the sword on their chests.

This sword was so powerful that it directly pierced the artery, causing the two of them to lose blood and die.

The other two concubines were wiped cleanly on the neck and killed with a sword.

From this, it can be seen that the Fifth Prince was the craziest and most excited when he killed Liu Rushui and Linglong.

In the end, although he still couldn't control his killing intent, he calmed down a lot. This is another kind of killing pleasure.

……

In the middle of the autopsy, a guard came to report that Liu Xiang had arrived, very excited, and wanted to see his poor daughter.

Luo Lanye thought for a while, and said to Bai Chen, "I'm going to see Prime Minister Liu, you stay here to watch."

"Yes, my lord." Bai Chen nodded, only a boss can deal with another boss.

-- Especially Yoo Sang is now in a time of anger and grief.

After Luo Lanye went out, Bai Chen and Wu Zuo continued the autopsy, while the guards took notes, and the initial autopsy was completed not long after.

After walking out of the cellar, bathing in the warm autumn sun, the chilliness from all over his body finally dissipated.

As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he saw Master Luo talking to Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang was emotional, and his usual gentle face was distorted. He wiped his tears with his sleeve while speaking.

Bai Chen walked over and said after saluting, "Lord Liu, please pay attention to your health."

"My daughter died tragically by the sword in her [-]th year. It really makes me sad!" Liu Xiang's eyes welled up with tears again, "My daughter is already so miserable, I can't let her lie in this cold place anymore, I have begged the emperor With permission, take back the little girl's body and bury her, and let her rest in peace."

People in ancient times had a big misunderstanding about autopsy, thinking that it would disturb the soul of the dead, and the more powerful the person, the more taboo it was.

Bai Chen glanced at Luo Lanye calmly, it was against the rules for Liu Xiang to ask for the body back before the autopsy steps were completed.

But Liu Xiang said that he had obtained the emperor's permission-how to do this?

Bai Chen guessed that there was nothing Luo Lanye could do. It was inevitable that favors were above the law. This was officialdom.

Sure enough, Luo Lanye said: "Since the emperor agreed, then the prime minister will go and collect the corpse of the prince and concubine, and hope that she will be buried in peace."

Liu Xiang didn't say any more, and went into the cellar with a few guards.

"Let's meet the fifth prince in the cold palace." Luo Lanye said, "Let them follow the procedure here."

"Yes, my lord."

Here Liu Xiang crossed the line, it is better to go to the Fifth Prince to have a look.

Fortunately, the preliminary autopsy just now revealed the general situation, not to mention that Linglong was killed together with Liu Rushui, so she should be able to get a glimpse of the situation at that time.

A few yamen servants and officials from Dali Temple were left here to do the next work, while Bai Chen and Luo Lanye hurried towards the Lenggong.

Unexpectedly, they met Kang Wang and Xiao Lin on the way.

After exchanging greetings, I learned that King Kang and the others rushed into the palace because of this. It is said that the emperor summoned important royal family members to the palace to discuss the punishment of the fifth prince.

The clan members held a meeting, probably to discuss whether to remove the fifth prince from the clan.After being removed from the name, the fifth prince is no longer a noble prince, and he can no longer even be surnamed Xiao. He will become a commoner through and through. This is a great punishment, it is tantamount to falling from heaven to hell. To some extent, it was worse than killing him.

In public places, Xiao Lin and Bai Chen couldn't make love to each other. They cared about each other with their eyes, and then they had to go about their own affairs. No matter how much they wanted to say, they could only wait until they returned to the small courtyard.

After bidding farewell to King Kang, Bai Chen and his boss came to the Leng Palace, Zhucui Palace.

It is said that this place was originally used by the concubine who was punished in the previous dynasty to live here, but it was changed to the cold palace of the concubine of this dynasty, and this place became the place where the princes and grandchildren who did not obey the rules and made mistakes were imprisoned.

The cold palace is dilapidated, the vegetation is withered, and even the windows are covered with thick dust. Just looking at the scenery makes people feel uncomfortable.

The fifth prince was locked in the main hall, and there were imperial guards guarding the door.

After Luo Lanye showed the token, he led Bai Chen into the door.

Lord Hu and Lord Lu were trying to persuade the fifth prince inside, but the fifth prince remained silent like a dumb man.

Seeing Luo Lanye coming, Lord Hu was just relieved, he said: "The old man's asthma is about to attack, go out and get some air first."

After saying that, he walked out the door, his movements were quick and his steps were strong, he didn't look like he was asthmatic.

☆, Chapter 120

Looking at Mr. Hu's vigorous pace, Bai Chen had to respect him as an old artist.

The main hall of Zhucui Palace is also dilapidated and outdated just like the outside, even the window paper is yellowed and blackened, some holes have been broken and have not been repaired.

The fifth prince was sitting on a faded wooden chair. It seemed that he had washed up a bit. There was no blood or stains on his shirt, and his hair was not messed up. He stared at the floor, his eyes were dull, his expression Decadent, not seen for a few days, the sunken cheeks became more prominent.

Like a walking dead whose soul has been stripped away, without a single bit of the air and arrogance of the past.

Master Lu stood aside, saw Luo Lanye coming, cupped his hands in salute, then shook his head helplessly, expressing that there was absolutely nothing he could do with the Fifth Prince.

Bai Chen thought the same way, at least the fifth prince is still a prince now, and he cannot extract a confession by torture, if he refuses to speak, he can only stare blankly.

Luo Lanye showed a comprehension look and said: "Master Lu has worked hard, you should also go and have a rest. If Master Hu is still not feeling well, let him go to the Imperial Hospital for treatment."

"Yes, my lord."

Then Lord Lu also left the hall.

"Master Bai and I want to have a chat with His Highness." Luo Lanye turned and said to the imperial guard who was leading the way, "You wait outside the door first."

The guard hesitated for a moment, cupped his fists and said, "Yes."

After he walked out with a few of his men, the empty and dilapidated hall became quiet.The orientation here is not good, and it is necessary to light candles in broad daylight to have light. The flickering candles made the Fifth Prince's face look hideous and distorted.

Luo Lanye didn't rush to ask the fifth prince, but sat on the chair opposite him.

He gestured to Bai Chen with his eyes, asking him to ask.

Luo Lanye is young, but has strong business ability. He knows that a bunch of people are gathered here, especially Mr. Hu who is here to put on a show. The fifth prince is not stupid, so obviously he will not disclose any information. The prince should have guessed that he had some ideas in his mind.

Bai Chen nodded, and then walked up to the Fifth Prince, instead of persuading him gently, he said very directly: "Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking recklessly, now you can only have a chance by telling the truth about last night."

The fifth prince frowned slightly.

Bai Chen hit the iron while the iron was hot, and his tone slowed down, "You have always loved the princess very much, how could you kill her for no reason? What happened yesterday? Can you tell us? We came here to help you, father and son are united , Your Majesty also wants to know why."

The red-faced and white-faced Bai Chen sang all by himself, with one specialty and many abilities.

Although the fifth prince killed four people in a row this time, the other three were all concubines, considered slaves, so they were killed if they were killed.It counts as a crime to kill the official wife bestowed by the emperor, especially if this official wife is the daughter of the prime minister and also a nobleman.Emperor Dehui didn't deal with the fifth prince, and he couldn't explain to Liu Xiang and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

But Emperor Dehui wanted to know why, why his good-looking son turned into a murderous demon.If his son was framed or there was a reason for it, he could still buy him more life.

——Even if I give up this son completely, I still hope that he can live well.

Bai Chen played the card of warmth with the emperor because he hoped that the fifth prince would not be so stubborn, so that there would be no room for improvement, and more importantly, it would make those evildoers cheaper.

The fifth prince raised his head slowly, his eyes were bloodshot, he stared at Bai Chen very seriously and focused at first glance, but there was nothing there, it was empty.

"No one can help me." The fifth prince finally spoke, his voice was hoarse, "I have committed my own crimes and cannot live."

His words made it clear that he refused to cooperate, but it also showed that there was something strange here.

——It is true to take drugs, and it is not false to be induced to take drugs.

Bai Chen frowned and stared at the Fifth Prince, and stared at him for a while, from those black hole-like eyes, he seemed to see the clue that he would never speak.

Because saying it seems worse than not saying it.

Not to mention that it was pure mania to kill people. If he said that someone lured him to take drugs, what is the evidence?The fifth prince was imprisoned here after an accident, so there is no evidence.If there is no evidence, it means spreading rumors to exonerate him. More importantly, Xiaoyao Powder is a banned drug. If he admits that he has taken the banned drug, then he has violated the Taizu's prohibition, and the crime will be aggravated.

The fifth prince's residence was found nothing, and his clothes were changed, so it can be said that there is no evidence at all.He is very passive now, and does not believe that Dali Temple will really help him.

Bai Chen's mind is like a mirror at this moment, since he will not get effective information from the fifth prince, it is better to investigate from the side.He thought about it, so he stopped asking questions, and asked a few more routine questions, and the fifth prince answered him indifferently.

The situation was not clear, and the forbidden area of ​​the palace was not necessarily safe, so Bai Chen didn't want to take the initiative to bring up the issue of taking drugs, so he looked at Luo Lanye.

Luo Lanye stood up, "Your Highness, take this time to think about it, this may be your only chance."

The fifth prince smiled wryly and nodded slightly.

"Let's go." Luo Lanye said, "Your Highness needs to calm down now."

The two left the hall and reported the situation to Master Hu.

Mr. Hu said: "The fifth prince refuses to say anything, so he will report the truth to the Holy Majesty. There are all the witnesses and material evidence in this case, and it is only for the Emperor to decide."

The case is indeed clear and clear, there is no need to search for and arrest the suspect, and Dali Temple can handle the job as long as it follows the procedures.But the dark tide is raging here, and it is far from being able to conclude this case.

But right now Mr. Hu obviously doesn't want to investigate deeply, and as subordinates, they can't say much.

So they each did their own things, Mr. Hu stayed in the palace and was responsible for reporting the situation to Emperor Dehui, Luo Lanye went back to Dali Temple to preside over the overall situation, and Mrs. Lu and Bai Chen also stayed in the palace to handle miscellaneous matters.

……

Bai Chen returned to the fifth prince's residence, and together with Wu Zuo, carefully inspected the cleaned corpses of the three concubines.

After the inspection was completed, it was already dark, and after handing over the inspection records to Mr. Hu, he was finally able to leave the palace and go home today.

He had some ideas in his mind, but also many doubts.

As soon as he walked to the palace gate, he saw Xiao Lin standing there with his back facing him and his hands behind his hands. I don't know how long this person has been waiting, it seems that he is about to merge into the night.

I don't feel it when I'm busy alone, but when I see this person, it's like seeing a harbor and having support.The fatigue and drowsiness of the whole day surged wildly at that moment, and I suddenly felt back pain and dizziness.

When he was single in the past, Bai Chen never had such hypocritical thoughts. He would carry everything by himself and find a solution by himself, but now it was different. Someone shared the pain and joy with him, and shared the rain and sunshine together.

In the future, he no longer has to walk alone.

Bai Chen felt hot in his heart, before he could call him, Xiao Lin had already turned around.

"Thank you." He came over, patted Bai Chen's head, and said softly, "Let's go."

"Ah."

After getting into the carriage, Bai Chen asked him if he had waited for a long time, feeling a little sorry.

"Soon." Xiao Lin said, "I'll wait as long as you want."

"Why didn't I find you so glib before." Bai Chen smiled, and asked about the business again, "How do the emperor and your Xiao clan plan to deal with the fifth prince?"

Xiao Lin said: "Although everyone is pleading for the fifth prince, if he can't come up with a convincing reason, he probably wants to get rid of his clan status and demote him as a commoner."

"The fifth prince refuses to speak." Bai Chen shook his head helplessly, "And we know that he took medicine but we can't tell."

"Your Majesty won't believe empty words, and you'll get into big trouble." Xiao Lin asked, "Have you found anything about the Fifth Prince's residence?"

"I couldn't find anything." Bai Chen moved closer to Xiao Lin's ear, "Maybe someone cleaned it up afterwards. And it's strange, even the fifth prince has washed and changed his clothes."

"There is no evidence for this." Xiao Lin said, "Whoever makes the fifth prince fall for the truth is not an ordinary person."

Bai Chen still wanted to say something, but Xiao Lin covered his mouth with his fingers, signaling him not to speak now, and we can talk about it in detail when we get home.

The carriage ran fast, but it didn't take the route back to the small courtyard. After going around, it came to a secluded alley.

"Where is this?" Bai Chen got out of the car and saw a house about the size of his house in front of him.

"This is the house that Jiang Haoran bought in the past, and it has been idle." Xiao Lin said, "The things we discussed are too important, and the small courtyard is no longer safe."

Bai Chen said in his heart that Xiao Lin was still thoughtful, they must have touched some people's nerves in their current investigation, and they must be careful to make the Wannian ship.

Xiao Lin asked the groom to go for a walk and pick them up in half an hour.

After the groom drove away, Xiao Lin looked around vigilantly and knocked on the door.

It was Jiang Haoran who opened the door. When he saw Xiao Lin holding Bai Chen's hand and entering the door, his eyes almost rolled to the sky.

"Can you stop doing this..." Jiang Haoran dissatisfied after introducing the two of them into the living room, "Can you consider the feelings of those who are not yet married? Hmm?"

Xiao Lin: "No."

Jiang Haoran: "...I want to kick you out right now!"

Bai Chen laughed: "Okay, you two stop bickering and talk about business."

☆、120 three chapters

Jiang Haoran's house is usually unoccupied except for servants who come to clean it regularly. Although the decoration is unique and elegant, there is almost no fireworks, and it looks a little deserted.

Xiao Lin and Jiang Haoran temporarily changed the meeting place to this place, so they didn't even have to drink hot tea. Fortunately, the three men also came to talk about business, so they didn't pay much attention.

Together, the three of them decided to talk about the situation at hand first and then brainstorm to see what direction to investigate in the future.

After closing the doors and windows, Jiang Haoran said: "I just found out some news here, but I didn't expect that something happened to the Fifth Prince."

"The Fifth Prince hasn't been out of the palace for the past few days, and the people I sent have no clues." Xiao Lin said, "Talk about your discovery first. Is it because the prescription has been settled?"

Jiang Haoran nodded, "A friend of mine in the Jianghu sent me a secret letter last night, saying that there is no prescription for Xiaoyao San in the Jianghu, at least not on the market."

Seeing Xiao Lin glaring at him, Jiang Haoran said again: "Don't be impatient, there are other things to come. I haven't found the recipe for Xiaoyao San, but there are people selling it in the market. Of course, they are doing it in an extremely secretive way." trade."

"Who is selling the medicine?" Bai Chen asked, "Seeing Young Master Jiang's expression, you must have a clue?"

"Exactly." Jiang Haoran smiled, "Guess who is selling this thing?"

Xiao Lin frowned: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up."

"You have two different faces to me and Mr. Bai." Jiang Haoran snorted dissatisfiedly, then turned serious and said, "It's Azatu, the deposed Third Prince Tujie."

Bai Chen was really taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "It's him again?! How could Azatu have the prescription of Xiaoyao San? Where did he sell the medicine before? How long has this medicine been sold?"

"The medicine he sells is not called Xiaoyao San, it is said to be called Yuanyang San." Jiang Haoran said, "The place where the medicine is sold is naturally in the brothel of Qilinfang, it seems that it has been sold on the black market for about three or four months. "

Qilinfang, Yuanyang San, the fifth prince.

Who put them together?

Bai Chen and Xiao Lin looked at each other for a moment, and the answer was ready to come out.

"The Fifth Prince is a drug that was taken after being seduced by others." Bai Chen recounted his performance when he met the Fifth Prince today. Hard to tell."

Xiao Lin: "Only by the side of the pillow is the most intimate person, and also the most able to make people let go of their guard."

Jiang Haoran suddenly realized, and said in a low voice: "It's the princess concubine. In this way, Liu Xiang must have participated in this matter. Presumably, her purpose of marrying her daughter to the fifth prince was not to hedge her bets, but to use beauty tricks to ruin The Fifth Prince will then allow the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne smoothly."

"He was always a supporter of the prince." Xiao Lin said, "I thought it was strange when he married Liu Rushui to the fifth prince. The most surprising thing is that the fifth prince even agreed to this marriage."

"The fifth prince always loses his mind when he sees a beauty, and he has a knife on Sezi's head. Now he has his own experience." Jiang Haoran said, "The most puzzling thing is Liu Xiang, he is so cruel. His own daughter was a pawn, and now that her daughter died suddenly, I don't know what he feels in his heart."

"He expected this day when he sent Liu Rushui into the palace." Xiao Lin said, "Even if Liu Rushui doesn't die today, she will be punished along with the fifth prince if he becomes the crown prince. Liu Rushui is destined to be a victim."

"I find it very puzzling." Jiang Haoran rubbed his chin, "From the current situation, the fifth prince will abolish his martial arts, and it will be a matter of time before the prince ascends to the throne, so as not to be exposed, Liu Ying should ask Liu Rushui to stop. Wouldn't it be suspicious that the prince made such a big commotion?"

Bai Chen nodded and said: "Mr. Jiang's words are very reasonable, and this is what I'm confused about today. My guess is that Liu Rushui is in charge of Yuanyang powder every day, and the fifth prince will take the pills regularly and quantitatively. Therefore, before the fifth prince Although he also appeared to be insane, he could barely maintain his sanity. I don’t know what happened yesterday, the fifth prince took too many pills, the situation got out of control, and Liu Rushui was killed by backlash."

"This can be regarded as self-inflicted in the dark." Jiang Haoran sighed, "The dead are just pawns after all, and the instigator is still as stable as Mount Tai."

"That's not necessarily the case. Liu Xiang was in a hurry to return Liu Rushui's body today, obviously because he was afraid that we would find something during the autopsy." Bai Chen said, "He's already panicked."

"That proves that the fifth prince's madness was not what Liu Xiang expected. It happened suddenly, and he was in danger of being exposed if he didn't take measures. He took the body back, but he didn't know that we are so powerful. The news network." Xiao Lin sneered, "This matter looks like a brother-in-law killing by the prince, but I am afraid it is far more than that simple. If the news of Deputy Jiang is correct, then the way of Qilinfang brothel to collect money is not only to let officials It is more likely that those officials will touch this kind of thing if they take pleasure in mutilating those women."

"Even with a position as high and powerful as Liu Xiang, even the crown prince may be contaminated with this drug and have a connection with Qilinfang." Jiang Haoran tapped the table with his fingers, "If this is the case, then something serious will happen."

The fight for the prince to seize the throne can be said to be an internal conflict, but a foreigner provides the officials of the Daxin Dynasty with something similar to drugs for them to take.

Thinking of this, the three of them all looked solemn.

Especially Bai Chen, in his previous life, he often fought with those drug addicts and dealers. He knew how dangerous drugs would be to the society and the country. If the common people are all addicted, let alone a sudden external attack, the internal collapse will first occur.

Not to mention that if drugs are used to buy and threaten high-ranking officials, the dire consequences can be foreseen.

"For those who are not of my race, their hearts must be different. It is a wise saying." Jiang Haoran has no intention of joking now, and his face is ugly. "Now let's go through the clues at hand and see what to do."

Bai Chen said: "Leaving aside the fight between the crown prince and the fifth prince, we must first destroy the group of people in Qilinfang and destroy Yuanyang Sandu. If Qilinfang is not eradicated, there will be no peace in our dynasty. We can talk about other things only after the workshop is eradicated."

"But since the brothel in Qilinfang closed, Azatu has disappeared, and even my friends from the Jianghu can't be found." Jiang Haoran was worried, "Could it be that he knows the invisibility technique? Or has he left the city?"

"How could there be invisibility." Xiao Lin glanced at Jiang Haoran, "He must still be in the capital, maybe right under our noses."

"Speaking so much, you have come up with a way." Jiang Haoran said with a cut.

"If you continue to follow the news about Azatu and Yuanyangsan, it is best to inquire about the core members of Qilinfang. Azatu can cause so much chaos, there must be a think tank, maybe me I will send people to closely monitor the movements of Liu Xiang, Liu Rufeng, and the prince." Xiao Lin said, "Maybe they won't move for a day or two, but they will show signs after a long time."

"If they really have a connection with Azatu, they will definitely show their fox tails." Bai Chen agreed with Xiao Lin's opinion, "We must calm down and not panic. I will investigate this case in Dali Temple openly, and the two of you are secretly Check, go hand in hand."

"You have to pay attention to the changes in the wind and rain in the court." Xiao Lin said to Jiang Haoran, "You can't hide this matter from Jiang Shangshu, it's about life and death, it's not a joke."

Jiang Haoran sighed, "Yeah, we can't hide it anymore, and if something happens, we can't deal with it."

"It's getting late, so let's do it as agreed." Xiao Lin held Bai Chen's hand, "Xiao Chen, let's go."

Before Bai Chen had time to bid farewell, he was led out by Xiao Lin.

Jiang Haoran: ...

Is it amazing to have a loved one? !

Walking out of the courtyard gate, the groom has been waiting for a long time.

Bai Chen and Xiao Lin got into the carriage, and Bai Chen always felt that Xiao Lin's expression changed subtly as soon as they got into the carriage.

He kept silent, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

Xiao Lin ordered, "Go to the south of the city."

The carriage nodded, raised its whip, and the horse began to trot.

To the south of the city?

Just as Bai Chen was feeling strange, he felt a sense of danger approaching.

Xiao Lin pulled him to his side, and in the next moment a sword went straight towards the place where Bai Chen was sitting!

The sword fell into the car mat, and before the attacker outside the car had time to draw his sword, he heard a scream, as if he had been stabbed by a sword and fell.

This was not over yet, the next second Bai Chen saw Xiao Lin throwing a dagger, and after a muffled groan, a person fell in from outside the car curtain.

It's the coachman!

Xiao Lin kicked the corpse out with one kick.

There was the sound of fighting outside, and the sound was two groups of people fighting.

It was obvious that someone plotted against them, but Xiao Lin had seen through it long ago, and arranged for someone to do the trick.

This guy is dark enough.

The sound of fighting outside was extremely fierce, but inside the car was very calm. Xiao Lin protected Bai Chen by his side, and his voice sounded softly, "Don't be afraid."

"……Um."

For this painful iceberg, Bai Chen decided to pretend to be afraid.

The author has something to say:

The story is about to reach its climax~~

Someone Xiao: It means that it's time for me to be handsome, right?

Bai Chen: Excuse me, Mr. Xiao, when did you not play handsome?

Someone Xiao: I was speechless.

☆、120 four chapters

There were swords and swords outside the carriage, but inside the carriage was calm as usual.

In fact, Bai Chen has long been used to such scenes. Even the big scenes of exchange of fire, guns, and hail of bullets between the two sides, he has experienced countless times.

But he was still very moved, there was someone who would protect him immediately and was so worried about his safety.

Xiao Lin seemed to be at ease, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He was very focused, protecting Bai Chen with one hand, and ready to make a move with the other.

The movement of the fighting gradually became quieter, and with the last muffled groan, calm was restored outside.

"Master, everyone is packed." A somewhat familiar voice sounded outside the car, "There are eight people, all of whom are killers.

Bai Chen remembered that it was the voice of one of the shadow guards.

These killers don't know who their customers are, only their online customers know, and they can't pry words out of their mouths, so Xiao Lin's shadow guards didn't survive.

"Can you recognize which killer it is?" Xiao Lin's guarded posture finally relaxed a little.

Bai Chen also sat in the previous position, and pulled out the sword on the cushion. The sword light was cold, and it was a good weapon.

The shadow guard said: "If you go back to the master, there is no mark on them, so you can't tell which killer organization it is from."

"En." Xiao Lin ordered, "Let the others clean up the corpse, and you drive the carriage."

"Yes!"

Only the sound of dragging and pulling could be heard from outside. The people trained by Xiao Lin were very efficient and quickly took the corpse away. Only one shadow guard was left to drive the carriage back in the dark.

"It surprised you." Xiao Lin took Bai Chen's hand, apologizing, "Although I was prepared today, there were still some negligence."

"Don't take everything on yourself. I'm also a man, so I have to share it with you." Bai Chen patted the back of Xiao Lin's hand lightly in turn, and comforted him: "You are considerate enough, the other party is a killer. It’s dangerous, but it’s a good thing if there’s no danger.”

"Although we can't find out who is the employer from the mouths of these dead people." Bai Chen snorted coldly, "but it's also the lice on the mangy head—it's obvious."

"This carriage belongs to you." Xiao Lin said, "Their target is obviously you. Those villains were afraid of being found out by you, so they panicked and made such a foolish plan."

Bai Chen laughed and said, "They want my life, but I don't believe in evil, so I want to investigate."

"You investigate the case openly, and I will start from the dark, with both approaches." Xiao Lin's face was full of murderous intent, "I don't care who the other party is, anyone who tries to trick you will die."

Such a domineering and second-year-old son, but inexplicably has a cute and cute feeling.

Sure enough, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Bai Chen felt that he had inevitably fallen into this vicious circle.

Really love makes people dizzy.

……

The case needs to be investigated, and one's own safety must also be paid attention to. Bai Chen knows this very well.

Now that I think about it, it would be a good thing to open up the two courtyards. They live under the same roof, and there are shadow guards arranged by Xiao Lin. After the Yamen, Bing'er and Ruyi who stayed at home will not make him worry too much.

As for going to the yamen or entering the palace to investigate the case, Xiao Lin insisted on picking him up.

It was Xiao Lin's surprise that those people attacked Bai Chen, he didn't expect them to have no taboos at all, he thought that if something happened to Bai Chen, he wanted to kill all those scumbags immediately.

Bai Chen knew that this was Xiao Lin's concern for him. Given that the current situation was indeed a little dangerous, he didn't say hypocritically that he didn't need it, and accepted Xiao Lin's arrangement frankly.

——What’s wrong with seeing the iceberg for a while during pick-up and drop-off?

……

On the second day, Bai Chen continued to follow Luo Lanye into the palace to investigate the case. While he was in Dali Temple, Bai Chen reported to his superiors the speculation that the fifth prince was insane and murdered because of taking drugs, and Bai Chen also Frankly, there is no evidence now, so it may not be possible to help the Fifth Prince.

Luo Lanye is an upright person, and also quite smart. He had already had some guesses about the case before, but after hearing Bai Chen's words, he became more concerned.

Bai Chen knew that Master Luo would be able to think of it without him needing to say more.
