Thinking

The prison is an institution within the Shenyingwei.Many important people or things, once it is determined that they will never see the sun again, will be imprisoned by the shadow guards.

The only people who can freely enter and exit the prison are the commander of the shadow guard and the emperor.

"You are only allowed to enter but not to exit. Is there no one guarding and managing the prison?" Jiang Xuan asked.

Xiao Zhi tapped lightly on the table with his fingertips: "Of course there are people, but they will never come out."

Qi Si guessed the answer, but still shivered.Jiang Xuan gasped even more. Being locked up in one place for a lifetime might be the most terrible punishment for him.

Xiao Zhi understood the feelings of the two of them, so he explained: "Those people, if they hadn't worked in the prison, their ending would have been a hundred times worse."

Qi Si and Jiang Xuan understood what he meant. Since people who work in prisons cannot get out, they are actually no different from prisoners who are locked in. Therefore, they must not be competent for ordinary people. Most of them have complicated pasts behind them, so they are willing to live forever stuck inside.Xing prison and those people are just taking what they need.

Xiao Zhi also vaguely knew what Qi Si had been investigating, but he didn't expect to be the first to find out about the Pei family. Although the Pei family and the Xiao family's shadow guards were shoulder to shoulder in the court, the two families basically had no relationship. Care about what will happen to the Pei family.

Jiang Xuan asked Xiao Zhi half-jokingly: "Originally, only the Shadow Guard and His Majesty knew about these things, so you just tell His Highness, are you not afraid of His Majesty's investigation?"

Xiao Zhi looked at him and said, "If I would be held accountable for this, he wouldn't come to ask me."

Qi Si smiled, Xiao Zhi knew him very well, he would never cheat his friends for his own affairs.

Maybe he will never be as cold-hearted as the Pei family in his life.

Back at Xiangfu, Jiang Xunyan just came back from the palace. The cloak was covered with thin snow. He took off the cloak and entered the hall. Seeing Qi Si's expression, he knew that he had been thinking about Pei's family all day long.

"I tried your Majesty's words. The Right Minister and the Shenyingwei had an affair with Great Liang. After all, this matter is not trivial. Your Majesty still needs to consider it, especially now that there is insufficient evidence. There must be many things behind it." Jiang Xunyan sat down and took a sip of tea. .

Qi Si nodded: "The Shenyingwei is too special. Even if His Majesty ordered someone to seal up the Shenyingwei Mansion, the Pei family would probably destroy the evidence in time."

Jiang Xunyan agreed and asked him, "What are you going to do?"

Looking at Jiang Xunyan, Qi Si said with certainty: "According to the Pei family's style of work, if you get their past files, you will be able to find the biggest loophole."

Even the closest relatives of the Pei family can be easily sacrificed. Among the people they killed in the past, there must be many who should not have been killed. These dead in vain are the most powerful evidence to bring down the Pei family.

Yuan Feng came over in the afternoon, and after discussing with him and Jiang Xuan, Qi Si had roughly a plan to spy on Pei's Shenyingwei Mansion, but the reputation of the criminal prison with no return is by no means a joke. This is a dangerous matter, and there is still a lack of an opportunity .

Till lying on the bed at night, Qi Si was still pondering over and over again in his mind, but to no avail. He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well. Thinking of Yuan Bing being with him last night, he couldn't help wondering, could it be that he was not used to sleeping alone.

He simply went to the palace the next day, Sudi had a calm power like a mountain, this kind of aura was a deterrent to all officials, but it could make Qi Si feel calm.

Emperor Su was grading the scriptures in the hall, and Qisi was the same as usual, practicing calligraphy next to his first few cases, calming down and concentrating.

Sudi raised his eyes and looked at Qi Si: "Is your mind in a mess recently?"

Qi Si put down his pen and smiled at Emperor Su: "There are many things, but there are always few clues."

Jiang Xunyan had told Emperor Su of the cause, but he had not yet issued a clear order.He said to Qi Si: "If it's right, just let go and do it. Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation, but it depends on man's efforts."

After hearing this, Qi Si felt thoughtful.

After leaving the palace, before he had gone far, Qi Si's carriage was stopped.

"What's wrong?" Qi Si opened the door curtain, revealing her fair face.

"If we catch up, I'll say it's you." King Rong was riding on horseback, dressed in fur, with a smile on his face.

Qi Si got out of the carriage, saluted King Rong, and said with a smile, "What's the matter with His Royal Highness?"

King Rong got off his horse, put his hand on Qi Si's shoulder, leaned over and whispered, "Do me a favor."

Qi Si looked at him with some puzzlement: "Is there any order, but I just said it, but I don't know if I can do it?"

King Rong was about to speak, but glanced behind Ji Si, raised his head and waved his hands: "Come, come, what a coincidence."

Thinking: "?"

He looked back and saw that Jiang Xuan and Yuan Feng were riding towards this side. When they saw him and King Rong, they greeted him with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Qi Si thought it was too coincidental.

The four of them stopped here, and the whole street was full of splendor. Fortunately, there were no pedestrian traffic here, so it would not be too eye-catching.

Jiang Xuan got off his horse and bowed to King Rong. Yuan Feng also came down to say hello to King Rong.

"Uncle said you entered the palace. We counted the time and came to you just in time." Jiang Xuan smiled and asked curiously, "Why is His Royal Highness King Rong outside in such a cold weather?"

King Rong looked at a few people, and said with relief, "Changyu's young talents are all here, good!"

The three couldn't help laughing, Qi Si smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"

There was a hint of heartache on King Rong's face, and he looked at Qi Si: "You are familiar with the Pei family, accompany me to the Shenyingwei Mansion, the authentic works of Lu's landscape scrolls may be with them, if you go late, they will be gone."

Thinking and hearing the words, I couldn't help but be surprised.

Thinking of what Emperor Su said to him in the palace, he looked at King Rong's expression, but King Rong was always smiling, and he couldn't see anything wrong with King Rong for a while.

Several people got on the horse and said while walking, King Rong has always had a precious masterpiece in his hand - Lu's landscape scroll, which can be included in the top ten of his most proud collections, even if Emperor Su wants to borrow it, he may not be sure Willing to.

Recently, Pei's shadow guards investigated a case in which the prefect of Lizhou engaged in fraud and manipulated scientific examinations for personal gain.Leaving aside the case, there was one shocking item in the checklist confiscated from the private treasury of the prefect's mansion - Lu's Landscape Scroll.

But here comes the problem, the same masterpiece is in the hands of King Rong, and the prefect of Lizhou also has it.

King Rong didn't take it seriously at first, of course he thought it was fake.

But when Pei Nanxian reported the case to Emperor Su yesterday, he said that the Lu family landscape scroll was the most important piece of stolen goods in the case, but it was really difficult to verify the authenticity, so that the case was not settled.

Even the shadow guards couldn't identify it, which shows that the painting is really hard to tell.

Sudi specially asked him to go there yesterday, told him about it very tactfully, and comforted him, if the painting by the prefect of Lizhou is true, then after the case is over, the painting will still be given to him.

But King Rong couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, he didn't sleep well all night, could it be that his old horse stumbled?His heart was pierced just thinking about it!

This case is very complicated, and it will take at least half a year for the case to be closed. I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep well for half a year.

"Come with me, talk to your uncle, and I'll see what's going on with that painting," King Rong said to Qi Si, "Your Highness, it's up to you."

Qisi looked at King Rong, he was indeed a little haggard, apparently he didn't sleep well yesterday, he smiled and said: "Your Highness is serious, you go and see, just to help them learn the truth from the fake."

King Rong waved his hand, very melancholy: "My judgment can't be counted, otherwise it will spread out that I have selfish intentions, at most let them use it as a reference."

Qi Si made an agreement with King Rong to accompany him to Pei's Shenyingwei Mansion in the afternoon, and King Rong felt relieved and rode his horse back to the palace.

Yuan Feng sat on horseback, dressed in brocade robes, with black hair tied high, and said to Qi Si, "Afternoon?"

Qi Si looked at Yuan Feng, then at Jiang Xuan, and nodded decisively: "Today is it."

Jiang Xuan asked curiously, "Is this a coincidence, or did His Majesty mean it?"

Qi Si shook his head: "Maybe it's half-truth, half-false, I can't understand His Highness King Rong's meaning."

The timing came suddenly, but luckily they were prepared. Before going out in the afternoon, Qi Si looked at Yuan Feng, with a calm smile on his handsome face, and Qi Si felt more at ease, and said: "Safety is the most important thing."

Looking at Jiang Xuan again, he said very sincerely: "I still have to trouble you this time."

Jiang Xuan waved his hand: "They are all our own people."

Yuan Feng looked at Qi Si calmly, and the two looked at each other, everything was silent, Qi Si withdrew his gaze, turned and mounted his horse, followed by a few attendants, and left the prime minister's mansion first, to meet King Rong .

King Rong and Qi Si went to Pei's Shenyingwei Mansion together. Qisi had never been here before, but when he first came to Yan Kingdom, he went to Xiao's Shenyingwei Mansion several times to look for Xiao Zhi. There are some similarities here, and the regulations are the same. But the atmosphere is obviously more cold.

Xiao Zhi is a member of Yan Guochao, so he can't intervene this time, but the information he revealed has already given Qi Si crucial help.

The entry and exit of Shenyingwei Mansion is strict, and Qi Si has revealed his identity. After the transmission, Pei Nanxian came out soon.

"Uncle." Qi Si said with a smile.

Pei Nanxian bowed to the two and invited them in.

"His Highness King Rong came to see Lu's Landscape Scroll?" Pei Nanxian was respectful, but he was not warm.

King Rong nodded, still smiling amiably, Qi Si said: "His Royal Highness loves that painting so much, can uncle make it easier for His Highness to help distinguish the true from the false?"

Pei Nanxian thought for a moment, then said: "Since His Royal Highness King Rong wants to see it, there is nothing wrong with it. His Royal Highness is also here, and they are all a family. This matter does not hinder the case, so don't be so polite."
