Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

Here is the interest of the country and the court.

"There is no evidence for this matter, and now everything is just our speculation." Luo Lanye said, "The speculation cannot be reported to the emperor casually. If we speak rashly, it will push the fifth prince into the abyss instead."

"My lord, you are right." Bai Chen said, "The humble official is only worried that there is a conspiracy in it. Once the conspiracy succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous."

"It is impossible for the emperor not to know anything about Qilinfang." Luo Lanye said, "We will continue to investigate the case and strive to reduce the crime of the fifth prince from other places. As for the matter of destroying Qilinfang, it is up to King Kang. will listen."

"My son has already discussed this matter with my lord. My lord has spent half his life defending our home and country. He will never see this great river and mountain fall into an endless hell." Bai Chen said, "I'm sorry for being humble, but this matter involves Liu Xiang after all. , and now there is no real evidence, I am only worried that the emperor has too many scruples and let the tiger go back to the mountain."

Luo Lanye said: "The lord and the prince will report to the emperor only when they have evidence. At that time, the lord won't need to talk too much, the emperor will take action."

"My lord is right." Bai Chen understands that once the evidence is presented, it will seriously threaten the status of Emperor Dehui. No emperor can bear someone coveting his seat, even if this person is his beloved son and Ai Qing.

"I didn't expect that the court's water is deeper than I thought." Luo Lanye warned, "Once you enter the palace, don't mention this matter again, otherwise you will be in danger."

Bai Chen cupped his hands: "The humble job understands."

The imperial court is now a pond of muddy water, and it is difficult to distinguish which are fish and which are ospreys who sneak in to eat fish.

……

The two walked out of Dali Temple and went straight to the palace.

The fifth prince didn't say anything, but the procedure of the case still has to go down.

The group of people behind the prince are vicious, and the staff on the side of the fifth prince are not all mobs.

At least Bai Chen heard that today they came up with a reason for the fifth prince to mitigate the crime.

——Several imperial physicians diagnosed that the fifth prince had injured his heart and lungs due to drinking too much, resulting in exuberant heart fire, mental depression, and bad temper.

In addition, someone saw the fifth prince's favored concubine Linglong talking back to the fifth prince that day, which caused the fifth prince to become very angry, and not only killed Linglong, but also the prince and concubine who persuaded the fight also suffered.

To be honest, this reason is far-fetched, just like those modern domestic violence scumbags who say they beat their wives because they are disobedient.

But this is a feudal society where imperial power and favors sometimes outweigh the law. What's more, Emperor Dehui didn't intend to really kill the fifth prince. What he needed was this kind of rhetoric. With this, he just took advantage of it.

To put it bluntly, it is clear at a glance whether a minister's daughter is more important than his own son.

When Bai Chen went to see the fifth prince in Lenggong, Eunuch Cui, the chief servant, was also there. He was supposed to come to see the fifth prince by himself, but everyone knew that it was Emperor Dehui who asked him to come over to see the situation.

Probably because he knew that he had a chance to reduce his guilt, the fifth prince looked brighter today, his expression became less dull, and he regained some energy.

Eunuch Cui left some snacks for the Fifth Prince, exchanged a few words with Luo Lanye and left.

Eunuch Cui couldn't catch Bai Chen's small shrimp. After all, Eunuch Cui served Emperor Dehui from childhood to now. Three-point thin noodles.

Eunuch Cui walked out of the gate, and Bai Chen turned his head to see him off.

Luo Lanye coughed, and Bai Chen quickly turned around. He took out a pen and paper, and started to question the Fifth Prince.

Sure enough, the fifth prince spoke up, and his words were surprisingly consistent with those of his staff, saying that Linglong didn't obey the rules that day and refused to talk back to him, and even had an affair with the male pet in his courtyard. He couldn't control his anger and killed him after drinking some wine that night She happened to be present, so she was implicated.

The fifth prince put his hand on his forehead and said: "I'm sorry for Rushui, I hurt her."

Bai Chen: ...

There was no movement on the face covered by the hands, and there was no trace of annoyance. The fifth prince's acting skills still need to be honed.

Luo Lanye nodded slightly to Bai Chen, telling him to follow this record.

After finishing the cutscene with the fifth prince, Bai Chen followed Luo Lanye out of the cold palace and reported the situation to the emperor.

It happened that at the door of the imperial study, I met the prince who came out of it.

The prince was as honest and polite as ever, and even treated a sesame official like Bai Chen with courtesy, gentle and amiable.

After saying hello and leaving, Bai Chen found a trace of sharpness and pride unconsciously in his eyes.

...It seems that this person has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger before.

Seeing that he was about to take over, the sharp thorns on his body could hardly hold back and were ready to be released.

Bai Chen thinks about it now, if he was born in the emperor's family, he doesn't know how many episodes he can live in Gongdou.

Emperor Dehui looked at the record of the inquiry, and his expression softened a little. Although he didn't say anything, Bai Chen guessed that the fifth prince might be able to escape the punishment of being demoted as a commoner.

Even if he was imprisoned in the cold palace and punished to guard the imperial tomb, it would be ten thousand times better than expulsion from the clan.

……

After a day's work in the palace, before Bai Chen could reach the door, he saw Xiao Lin's figure from a distance.

When I saw him, I felt my heart brighten up.

In the chaos and chaos, there is still one person who can make him feel so at ease and warm.

very nice.

☆、120 five chapters

Two days later, the case of the fifth prince going mad and killing his wife was decided.

Emperor Dehui personally beat him severely with family law, until the skin of the fifth prince was bruised and bled, and then he was imprisoned in the cold palace and faced the wall for three months. After three months, he immediately went to guard the imperial tomb. Without Emperor Dehui With permission, he is not allowed to return to Beijing.

It seems to be a terrible punishment, especially when the whip is used in front of many powerful officials, Liu Xiang is naturally there, watching him being whipped to the ground like a dead dog and dying, if it is not for King Kang and several ministers Dissuade, Emperor Dehui's posture is to beat the fifth prince to death.

——He has already achieved this, and the other party is the emperor, so he has to swallow his breath even if he can't.

Not to mention the beating, but also put the fifth prince in confinement, not to mention the confinement, let him go to guard the imperial tomb, and not let him return to the capital.

On the surface, for the pampered fifth prince who loves to enjoy himself, these punishments can make him stage a tragic world.

But after thinking about it carefully, Emperor Dehui didn't expel the fifth prince's clan status, and also didn't say that he would never be allowed to return to Beijing.

Suffering a little bit of flesh and blood, but kept his clan and identity, he performed well in the future, and the five princes were able to return to the capital with an edict from Emperor Dehui. It is not completely impossible to make a comeback.

This approach is almost exactly the same as Bai Chen's idea.

Emperor Dehui knew that such a treatment would make Liu Xiangmian dissatisfied, but he did it anyway.

The heart of the emperor, the needle of the sea.But at a glance, the whole picture can be seen. Emperor Dehui probably has a subtle view of Liu Xiang.

From this point of view, as long as Kang Wang and Xiao Lin find clues, it will not be difficult to convince Emperor Dehui to get rid of the Qilinfang gang—even if Liu Xiang is involved, they can also be dealt with.

……

These few days Xiao Lin was very busy, and had to discuss important matters with Kang Wang, so he couldn't stay in the house at night, except for picking up Bai Chen, the two of them didn't even spend much time together.

Although the time to meet each other is short, they fully understand and tolerate each other. As long as their hearts are together, it is more important than anything else.

……

After the Dali Temple was dismissed that day, Xiao Lin came to pick up Bai Chen as usual.

The carriage arrived at the gate of the courtyard, but Xiao Lin did not see him in and kiss him goodnight as he did a few days ago, but walked into the gate with him. "Aren't you going back to the palace today?" After closing the courtyard door, Bai Chen was a little surprised and also a little surprised.

Xiao Lin nodded: "I haven't been with you well recently, so I won't go back home tonight."

"Why didn't you say it when you were in the carriage just now?" Bai Chen pretended to be angry, "Making it mysterious?"

"This is a surprise for you." Xiao Lin scratched Bai Chen's nose, "How about it, are you happy?"

Bai Chen pretended to be serious: "...it's okay."

"Aren't you happy?" Xiao Lin hugged Bai Chen into his arms, and said softly, "I'm very happy, I miss you so much these days."

"Don't we see each other every day?" Bai Chen felt warm, and stretched out his arms to hug him, "You speak like we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Xiao Lin: "Because I don't want to be separated from you for a moment."

...Damn it, flirt again.

"Fool." Bai Chen patted the big golden retriever's head, "When the storm is over, let's leave the capital and go sightseeing, okay?"

It's been too depressing recently, and he also wants to relax.

"Okay." Xiao Lin kissed Bai Chen's forehead, "Wherever you want to go, we will go there."

"Oh, why did we bump into each other again!"

Bing'er's voice suddenly appeared, Bai Chen and Xiao Lin separated, turned around and found that the girl didn't even bother to cover her eyes with her hands, she came out of the kitchen with a dustpan, her tone sounded surprised, but her expression was Extremely calm.

Bai Chen has become thick-skinned now, he coughed, "Let's serve dinner."

……

The two had just finished eating when there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Who could it be so late?" Now is the time when the situation is unclear, and Bai Chen is a little vigilant.

"I guess it's Jiang Haoran, he must have a clue." Xiao Lin said, "It just so happens that I also have some clues, so I don't need to go to meet him."

Just in case, Xiao Lin went to open the door himself.

Sure enough, it was Jiang Haoran, and he was also wrapped in the black cloak of the New Dynasty's popular night walk. This kind of villain's standard clothing was worn on Jiang Haoran, and Bai Chen wanted to hit someone.

Before he could complain, Xiao Rin taunted: "Why are you still sneaking around when you come to see us?"

"Who is sneaking around." Jiang Haoran took off his cloak after entering the room, "Young master, this is called being cautious, do you understand?"

"Is someone following you on the road?" Xiao Lin asked, "If you are followed, it will be useless even if you cover your face."

"I came from another way." Jiang Haoran took a sip of tea and rolled his eyes, "Except for your elusive shadow guard, I didn't see anyone else."

Jiang Haoran's martial arts is only weaker than Xiao Lin's, and compared to ordinary martial arts practitioners, he is already considered a master, otherwise he would not have made so many friends in the world, and many of them were strangers to him.

"Did you have any clues there?" Xiao Lin didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have come to you at night." Jiang Haoran said seriously, "I came here right after I got the news from my friend."

Bai Chen expected that it should be an important clue, so he hurriedly asked, "Young Master Jiang, what's the news?"

"My friend found out that Azatu does have a think tank, and there are people from Tuji and people from the Central Plains." Jiang Haoran glanced over the faces of Bai Chen and Xiao Lin, and said in a low voice, " Among them is a mysterious man from the Central Plains, who is said to be wearing a mask, has disabled legs, and is sitting in a wheelchair."

Bai Chen's heart skipped a beat, and a name that had been forgotten for a long time popped up in his mind.Turning to look at Xiao Lin, his expression seemed to freeze for an instant.

"Who is this person?" Xiao Lin's eyes became serious.

Jiang Haoran shrugged: "My friend doesn't know either, but I saw this person when someone went to buy medicine. He seems to be very popular with Azatu."

"No matter who this person is, you have to be careful." Jiang Haoran added, "Especially now that he has colluded with the Suju people."

Although Jiang Haoran didn't say it clearly, but hearing his tone, he might guess that the candidate was the same as Bai Chen and the others.

"Yeah." Xiao Lin quickly regained his composure, "No matter who they are, they must be eradicated together. It just so happens that I have a clue on my side, and they won't be arrogant for a few days."

Jiang Haoran asked: "The person you sent out to follow the Liu family and the prince has a clue?"

"Liu Xiang, Liu Rufeng and the prince seem to be normal these few days." Xiao Lin said, "The abnormal one is the Liu family."

"How do you say that?" Bai Chen asked curiously, "Is there a problem with the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Xiao Lin said: "The prime minister's mansion in the capital is fine, but the problem is that Prime Minister Liu is in a villa in the suburbs of Beijing."

Jiang Haoran asked, "What's the problem?"

"The members of the Liu family are not prosperous at all, and they all live in the capital on weekdays. As far as I know, there are only three or four members of the Biezhuang in the suburbs who live there to watch the house and clean, but recently the people I sent out found that every two or three Some people will transport vegetables, fruits and meat from the city to Liu’s villa every day, and they are very cautious, and they always transport vegetables at night.” Xiao Lin said, “I have been to that village before, there is a vegetable garden, and the servants also raised chickens and ducks , there is no need to go outside to buy food at all.”

"Take a step back, even if you need to buy vegetables, you don't have to spend two or three days to buy them." Bai Chen immediately reacted, "This is really abnormal, as if there are many people living in that village."

Xiao Lin said: "The most important thing is that all the gifts are beef and mutton."

Jiang Haoran was taken aback.

"Azatu lives in there." Bai Chen can now draw a conclusion with certainty.

In the feudal farming society, cattle were an important tool of production. Ordinary people couldn't afford them, and rich people generally didn't know how to eat them.People in the Xin Dynasty eat more fish, chicken, duck, geese, and pork, occasionally mutton, and do not eat beef. This is the case from top to bottom.

Only rough nomads would love beef and mutton so much.

The details reveal everything, no matter how well it is concealed, it is useless.

"Liu Xiang is quite courageous. He dared to let those people live in his own villa." Jiang Haoran showed a contemptuous expression, "I don't know if it's because I'm old-fashioned or a wolfish ambition."

"Maybe it's both." Xiao Lin said seriously, "This matter cannot be delayed any longer, it must be resolved as soon as possible."

Jiang Haoran nodded.

Next, the three discussed some solutions, but it was not so easy to implement them, at least the support of Emperor Dehui was needed.

After chatting for a while, it was already late, and Jiang Haoran had to go back to discuss with his father, so he left in a hurry.

……

"Xiaochen, I have to go back to the palace tonight." Xiao Lin said apologetically, "It's hard for me to find some time to accompany you."

"I have to go back." Bai Chen sighed, "The man in the wheelchair next to Azatu that Mr. Jiang mentioned just now, I suspect it is..."

"Xiao Chuan." Xiao Lin said calmly, "I have the same feeling."

"When you said that you couldn't see the face of the corpse you found, I felt a little uneasy in my heart." Bai Chen said, "Now this uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger. It is really a disaster that will last for thousands of years."

"If he's not dead yet." Xiao Lin narrowed his eyes, "Then I'll kill him again and let him die thoroughly."

"If he is not dead, he will definitely come back to take revenge. You must remind the prince and concubine when you return home tonight." Bai Chen was a little worried, "Especially Xiao Mo, she is a girl, and she doesn't know any martial arts."

"There are many shadow guards in the palace now. If Xiao Chuan is not stupid enough to come home, he will not come to seek death." Xiao Lin said, "He is disabled now, and after taking refuge in the Tujue people, he must be hiding in the other villa of the Liu family and dare not show up easily. We have to get rid of them as soon as possible."

"Xiao Chuan hates you and me the most." Bai Chen was puzzled, "Perhaps there is also Liu Rufeng who abandoned him. How could he still be in contact with Liu?"

"He must have changed his name and surname, and his image has changed drastically. Prime Minister Liu may not be able to notice it." Xiao Lin pulled Bai Chen towards him, hugged him tightly, and said worriedly, "The thing I worry about the most now is you, I only hate you I'm out of my wits."

"I want to catch the Tujue people with you." Bai Chen said firmly, "Together with you, we will take them all together."

Xiao Lin was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

The person he likes is smart, cute, and full of courage.

☆, 120 chapters six

In the ninth year of Youde, the first day of October.

The night is cool and moonless, and the sparse stars are dotted in the dark night sky, dim and dull.

It gets dark early in autumn in the north, and just after the closing time of the city gate, the official roads in the outskirts have disappeared, only the towering cliffs and the yellow withered grass and thorns on both sides of the road exist quietly and lonely.

The autumn wind blows the grass clippings and dead leaves on both sides of the road, making this place even more deserted and desolate.

Along with the sound of the wind, the sound of a carriage came, and the horse's footsteps were a little slow, as if it hadn't had enough food and was listless.

"Those people can really eat it." Sitting in front of the carriage were two men in coarse cloth and bunts, one of whom was young holding a whip, and said with disdain in his tone, "A barbarian is a barbarian. He drinks blood like a hair, and even eats cows." .”

"Stop talking nonsense." The older man scolded, "We charge money to do things, so don't talk too much."

The young man resented: "I don't feel sorry for those slaughtered cows. They bought the cows and took them back to the farmland. It's better for us to buy and kill them and give them to the gangsters to eat. Bah!"

"I hate those savages too, but there are some things you can't say nonsense." The older man glared at him, "Be careful and lose your life."

The young man shrank his neck, "Got it."

The carriage was neither fast nor slow, and when it reached a cliff, a strong wind suddenly blew in front of it.

The wind was so strong that the loess on the ground was wrapped into the air one after another. The two drivers couldn't help covering their faces with their sleeves, fearing that they would be blinded by the sand.

With a sound of "噗嗤——", the lantern hanging beside the carriage suddenly went out. In the moonless night, the only light was lost, making the two of them blind.

It's so hard to die, at this horrific moment, accompanied by the sound of the wind, there were waves of creepy whimpers, as if a woman was crying.

The faces of the two driving the car changed drastically. Could it be that they met the legendary "female ghost crying for injustice?"

Although the two of them have been walking in the rivers and lakes for several years, and they have fists and kicks, but the ghosts and ghosts are not humanly able to compete with them, especially in this mountain pass, there are legends of female ghosts crying and demanding their lives. god.

"I beg you, grandma, to be kind. We have no grievances or enmities with you. We are just passing through the precious land. Please let the villain go." The older man closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and kept begging for mercy.

The young man also closed his eyes and begged.

The sound of the wind and the continuous whimpering made them so confused that they didn't even care about the movement in the carriage, thinking it was the trick of the female ghost.

Gradually, the whimpering disappeared and the wind became quieter.

"Thank you, aunt, for letting us go!" The older man hurriedly thanked the air, and ordered the young man to light the lantern and continue on his way.

……

Bai Chen curled up and hid in the wooden barrel, he couldn't help laughing when he heard the two people outside thanking the female ghost.

Xiao Lin and several yamen servants with high martial arts skills in Dali Temple were in the wooden box or wooden frame next to him.

They are now going to sneak into Liu Xiang's villa.

After several days of investigation, Kang Wang found strong evidence - Liu Xiang's bill in the brothel of Qilinfang. Emperor Dehui was furious and accepted Kang Wang's suggestion.After some discussions, it was finally decided that the Imperial Guard, Dali Temple and King Kang's guards would join forces to launch a secret operation.

The imperial guards sent a small team to the Liu Mansion to control Liu Xiang. Bai Chen and Xiao Lin sneaked into the other village of Liu Mansion with the yamen servants. King Kang's elite guards came to meet him outside the mansion, and they must be wiped out.

Liu Xiang's villa was not too far from the capital, and the carriage bumped on the mountain road for a while before arriving at the side gate of Zhuangzi.

The older man knocked on the door, and after a while, someone opened the door.

"Everything is ready?" A rough man's voice asked, the accent sounded a bit weird.Bai Chen understood that this was a sudden exhaustion.

"It's all set." The older man said, "It's the same as usual."

"Go in and unload the goods at the old place."

"okay."

Zhuangzi's side door is for carriages and horses to enter, and Bai Chen and the others entered Zhuangzi smoothly.

The carriage stopped in the courtyard outside the stove, and the two began to move the goods in the carriage down.

"Why is the beef and mutton so heavy today?" the young man wondered, "It's almost impossible to move."

"I think you were frightened by the female ghost, go back and eat a few pork kidneys for nourishment." The older man said, "Be quicker, finish unloading early so we can go back to sleep early."

After that, the two stopped talking, and moved all the things in the carriage to the courtyard.

After moving, they got into the carriage and left quickly.

Before anyone came in to inspect the goods, Bai Chen and the others got out of the box and basket.

Each of them is wearing night clothes, hiding in the dark and completely blending into the night, if it is not for the golden eyes, they will not be seen at all.

Not long after, two tall men came over and began to count the goods.

"Why are these boxes empty?" a foreigner asked, "How dare they cheat?"

"These cunning Central Plains people, wait for them to come in two days, and see if I don't kill them. First take the other things in." Another said, "After taking them in, send the wine over. Your Highness is urging you."

"Yes."

After the two Tuju people moved the food into the kitchen, one of them walked to the door, and the other walked to the firewood room with a large jar of wine.

Bai Chen and Xiao Lin looked at each other, maybe there is a secret passage in the firewood room.

Xiao Lin made a gesture, and they quickly divided into two groups, going to deal with the gatekeepers all the way, and bringing in a large army, while Bai Chen and Xiao Lin brought the most skilled yamen servants to follow the sudden exhaustion. People go in, and when the time comes, the inside and the outside should cooperate to catch them all.

The Tujue who was carrying the wine tank seemed to have only brute strength, but not high martial arts, and he had no idea that someone was following him.

The three of Bai Chen followed him from the secret passage in the firewood room to the basement.

This basement is very large, with wall lamps on the walls, and the situation inside is clear at a glance.

As soon as Bai Chen came in, he could smell the fishy smell. This smell seemed to be similar. He remembered that Zhenniang's basement in the next courtyard and the fifth prince's bedroom all had this smell!

And this smell is probably similar to the incense that adds to the fun, and it will make people more excited and ecstatic when combined with Yuanyang powder.

Could it be that Liu Xiang is raising Zhenniang?Yoo Sang not only takes drugs but also has a hobby of playing SM?

But now is not the time to think about these things, they have more important things to do.

Zhuangzi's basement is very large, probably larger than the above-ground buildings. Azatu is also vigilant and arranges people to guard it at intervals.

It's just that these guards were not enough to look at in front of the three of them. They came all the way and cleaned up these people silently.

The tujue man with the wine jar walked around and walked into a hall. Bai Chen and the others could hear someone talking inside.

"Where's the wine, fill me up." A man said impatiently.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Then, there was the sound of pouring wine.

"Put down the wine, you go out."

"As ordered."

Just as the Tujue man walked out of the door, Xiao Lin slashed at him with a knife in his hand. He rolled his eyes and fell down without hesitation.

They quickly dragged him away, and then continued to listen to the situation inside.

Bai Chen has experience in monitoring and listening to this matter, and after only listening for a while, he can identify the number of people inside.

In addition to Azatu, there should be more than a dozen guards with martial arts skills, and two people who are not very good at martial arts.

The strange thing is that there is no voice of Xiao Chuan here, I don't know if he is not here, or he hasn't spoken yet.

He made a sign of ten to Xiao Lin, indicating that there are ten people with good martial arts inside.

Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment, but decided to go in and fight.

Just about to go in, Bai Chen stopped him, and took out a black pill the size of a walnut from his arms.

Xiao Lin was startled, and quickly realized.

He shook his head helplessly, this naughty guy doesn't know where he got this thing.

Bai Chen met his eyes, and then threw the black pill in his hand without hesitation!

This is an artifact similar to modern guns that he scavenged from the woman-dressed Jiangyang thief last time, and it will come in handy now.

There was only a bang, and a puff of thick smoke rose in the hall, and the irritating gas made the people inside cough violently.

What they were waiting for was this moment, the three of them entered the hall, and captured the king first, Xiao Lin went straight to Azatu who was sitting on the seat, while Bai Chen and others took advantage of the chaos and overturned many people.

This group of sudden exhausted people obviously didn't expect to be attacked by someone, and they were very passive under the unprepared situation. Azatu was caught by Xiao Lin before he could react.

When the smoke dissipated, it happened that reinforcements from outside also arrived.

All of these people were captured.

In addition to Azatu, there are two Tuji nobles, and more than a dozen guards, including foreigners and Central Plains people.

The reinforcements also captured more than a dozen Tujue people in other rooms.

They didn't see Xiao Chuan, and they didn't even see the person in the wheelchair. Could it be that their information was wrong?

"Who are you!" Azatu roared, "Why do you arrest me?"

"Just because you did evil in the territory of the Daxin Dynasty, I will arrest you." Xiao Lin pulled off the veil and ordered the others, "Search for me, and don't let go of any room inside!"

"Yes!"

"Xiao Lin?" Azatu was taken aback, "How did you find this place?"

Xiao Lin snorted coldly, "You don't need to worry about it."

Bo Chen led Kang Wang's guards to search in various rooms and found many finished and semi-finished pills.

"This is the legendary Yuanyang powder, right?" Bai Chen hated drugs so much that he wanted to burn them on the spot.

Azato didn't speak, but his expression said it all.

Bai Chen's eyes stopped on Azatu.

Xiao Lin immediately said: "Search him."

A lot of things were found on Azatu's body, and there was even a map.

This is a floor plan of the imperial palace, on which there are many marks made with red and black ink, and a small five-pointed star drawn in one stroke next to the map, with a small black dot in the middle.

Bai Chen stared at the picture, his face turned pale instantly, his right hand clenched into a fist, trembling slightly involuntarily.

"Xiao Chen." Sensing Bai Chen's strangeness, Xiao Lin walked up to him and grabbed his hand.

Wrapped by Xiao Lin's broad palm, Bai Chen calmed down a little, and slowly let go of his fist.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Lin worried, "You look very bad."

Bai Chen said, "Tell me later."

Immediately let others take the captured person to the courtyard first.

Only Bai Chen, Xiao Lin and Azatu were left in the room.

Bai Chen walked up to Azatu and said coldly, "Where is Xiao Chuan?"

Azatu's expression was unnatural for a moment, and then he said arrogantly: "I don't know who you are talking about."

Bai Chen raised his hand and slapped Azatu's face away. He said in a deep voice, "Say, where is Xiao Chuan?"

Azatu covered his face and was frightened by Bai Chen's fierce eyes. Even Xiao Lin was the first time seeing the gentle Bai Chen lose his temper, but somehow felt that such a Bai Chen was very handsome.

"Say it?" Bai Chen grabbed Azatu's neck, "If you don't say it, I'll crush you right away."

As he spoke, he increased his strength, as if he was really going to strangle him to death.

Azatu's face was flushed red, and he looked at Xiao Rin with begging eyes, but Xiao Rin didn't respond, making it clear that Bai Chen could do whatever he wanted.

"Ahem..." Azato was about to suffocate, and finally let go, "I said, I said."

Bai Chen let him go, Azatu panted and stammered: "He, he went shopping this afternoon, but he hasn't come back yet."

"He really didn't die." Xiao Lin said coldly, "You rescued him from under the cliff?"

Azatu nodded: "It just so happened that I passed by there that day and found him dying. I thought he had helped me gain a foothold in the capital, so I saved him. I was afraid that you would suspect me, so I pretended to be a dead body the next day."

Bai Chen barely listened to Xiao Lin and Azatu's words, his head was in a mess and buzzing.

The only thing that is clear is an unbelievable and terrifying realization.

That man, here he comes.

☆、120 seven chapters

Xiao Chuan died, and what was brought back in the shell was another person.

The one who killed him with his own hands.

Bai Chen didn't want to think wildly for no reason, but he himself could travel here from a thousand years later, so what's the problem with Xiao Chuan dying and Shao Fei coming here?

What's more important is that the marks and graffiti on the map are Shao Fei's habit, which he has seen countless times in his previous life—and many marks don't exist at all in this era, especially those made with one stroke. Five-pointed star, he has been here for so long, and he has never seen any native Xinchao people use it.

Shao Fei is a thoughtful and ruthless person. Thinking of the fact that Qilinfang has used all kinds of indecent methods to win over high-ranking officials in recent months, and even created drugs to amass money, he must have come up with a lot of ideas. .

In the previous life, he had no integrity and morality, and in this life he was even more shameless.

Now that Bai Chen thinks about him, he only feels disgusted and angry, and with Xiao Lin as a comparison, he just wants to poke his eyes out in his previous life.

The raging anger made his mind even more confused, and he wished to tear this scum with his hands immediately.

But Bai Chen's remaining rationality told him, no, now is the critical moment, he can't mess up!

He told himself to be calm, if he was overwhelmed by anger, everything would be ruined, if it was really him who crossed over, then the old and new grudges would be settled together.

Taking a few deep breaths, Bai Chen finally calmed down.

"Did the marks on this map come from Xiao Chuan?" Bai Chen looked at Azatu, "Don't play tricks, tell me honestly."

Azatu experienced the horror of dying just now, and dared not repeat it, he answered honestly: "Yes."

Xiao Lin frowned, and reached out to take the map to check.

The real Xiao Chuan has some literary talents, but it can be said that he knows nothing about military strategy, so how can he mark important places.

Bai Chen continued to ask: "Who gave you the topographic map of the palace?"

Azatu said: "It's Prime Minister Liu."

"You have a map of the imperial palace in your hand, what do you want to do?" Xiao Lin asked sarcastically, "Lead your exhausted army to break through the imperial city?"

Azatu paused, with a panicked expression on his face, "I'm not interested in your territory, I just want to go back to Tuji. This is what Lord Liu brought back to Amu when he saw that he was smart... Amu is Xiao Chuan."

... Sure enough, Liu Xiang didn't know that his ex-son-in-law "Xiao Chuan" was right under his nose, what a wonderful plot.

"You Qilinfang brothel makes money by catering to officials' hobbies and selling drugs..."

Before Bai Chen finished speaking, Azatu rushed to say: "This is all Xiao Chuan's idea. He said that as long as he grasps the weakness of human nature, they will always be willing to send me money so that I can make a comeback. Although I don't understand human weakness or anything, but his method is very effective, making more money in a few months than in a few years."

Sure enough, it was Shao Fei who wore Xiao Chuan's skin to live.

With Shao Fei's mind, if it weren't for the fact that his body is disabled and his martial arts are completely abolished, even bigger things will happen.

And this time, if the fifth prince hadn't suddenly gone crazy and revealed a flaw in the prince's plan, they wouldn't have dug so deep.

This scumbag, Shao Fei, must be eliminated.

Thinking of this, Bai Chen asked: "Where did Xiao Chuan go? Why does he have to go out to buy things because he has trouble with his legs and feet?"

"The crown prince sent someone to take him away in a carriage." Azatu said, "He left in a hurry and said he wanted to buy some rice paper, which is not available in this village."

Speaking of this, Bai Chen asked again: "Is the prince also a distinguished guest of your brothel? Has he taken Yuanyang powder? Are there any court officials who are your regular customers?"

Azatu knew very well that if he said that there might be a way out, if he didn't say it, he would die.

What's more, those people are also from the Central Plains, and he is just a cooperative relationship with him, there is no need to kill himself for them.

"Yes, there are some adults who come to play occasionally." Azatu replied, "There is also a mysterious adult who only came twice, and later redeemed Lianyan."

Lianyan... is Zhenniang!

Bai Chen and Xiao Lin exchanged glances, and Xiao Lin asked, "What is this lord's name? What does he look like?"

"Every time he came, he was wrapped in a black cloak, and he refused to take it off when he entered the house." Azatu said, "It's quite mysterious, it was brought by the crown prince."

"No features?" Bai Chen asked, "Even if you wear a cloak, you can see some faces clearly under the light after entering the room?"

Azato recalled vigorously: "I only remember that he was 50 to [-] years old and had no beard."

50 years old and no beard, this is completely inconsistent with the ancient middle-aged
