Come on, Your Highness

He Xichao didn't alarm the governor, but bought the cell and went into the prison quietly.

Although he came in silently, as soon as his carriage left the He Mansion, someone followed him, and when they saw them entering the prison, they immediately went back to report to the master.

He Xichao was sitting in the cell of the prison, and Xiao Hong squatted beside him and asked, "Aren't you going to find Huo Liang?"

"Someone is looking for it, we will leave after sitting for a while."

"Who?"

"This matter was taken over by Duke Wei's mansion from the beginning to the end, so naturally he took the initiative." After He Xichao finished speaking, he looked at the door and said curiously, "This is the first time I have come to the cell."

Xiao Hong twitched the corners of his mouth: "If you want to visit, choose a daytime. Is it crowded at night?"

He Xichao looked back at him curiously: "Is there a difference between day and night here?"

The so-called cell was pitch-black for a whole year, and the torches on the walls had never been extinguished. It was truly dark.

Xiao Hong was speechless for a while when he heard the words. He looked at He Xichao and asked suddenly: "Cousin and Zhan Shaoqi, with the latter's tyranny, sooner or later something will happen. I can already foresee his end, Xichao. But this matter The main cause of the incident was He Mingrui's provocation first, what are you going to do with this one?"

Speaking of He Mingrui, He Xichao couldn't help curling his lips slightly thinking of the cruel words he let go that day.

"I heard that the ancestral hall was closed by the grandfather, but the eldest sister was released as soon as she went. Isn't it too easy, you just let him go?" Xiao Hong thought something was wrong, and looked at He Xichao suspiciously, "It's not like you, Xi Chao."

"I'm not the kind of person who will take revenge." He Xichao said innocently.

"Hehe..." Xiao Hong grinned, showing eight teeth, expressing his disbelief.

He Xichao didn't pay any attention to him, just walked back, closed the door and asked: "What's your Majesty's attitude towards you coming to me every day without avoiding suspicion?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Hong became excited: "I hate iron but not steel, I almost poked my forehead to make me control my heels, but Dad just talked about it, and didn't see any harsh words. Unfortunately Chao, he doesn't want to part with me, and now he also doesn't want to part with you, if this continues, do you think he will... just admit it?"

As He Xichao's ability was revealed, Xiao Hong was also testing Emperor Tiangan's attitude bit by bit. He could feel that the emperor's attitude to stop them was not as decisive as before. What a power of regret.

It's the kind of regret and helplessness that my stupid son gave a good cabbage to govern the world.

However, just as Xiao Hongcai was a little happy, He Xichao poured cold water on him: "These are all based on the premise that you marry the princess of Zhenguo and give birth to children. As for the point between His Royal Highness and his blue-faced confidant. As for the second matter, as long as it is harmless, the emperor will not interfere."

What He Xichao said made Xiao Hong's agitated mood instantly cool down. He shook his head quickly: "That's no good, I still plan to divorce. Where did the heir come from?" If it is planted, the father gave birth to so many, can't I pick one?"

He Xi raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, and smiled softly: "That's a good question, take a chance to test the emperor."

He Xi smiled at this, his beautiful eyebrows and eyes curved into crescent arcs, and Xiao Hong felt his pressure doubled. The so-called try, how can it be so easy to try?

The guards in this cell are all consciously staying away, and there are watchmen at the door, so it is impossible to hear what they are saying.

But at this time, Xiaodunzi who was standing at the door said: "Your Highness, the people inside have come out."

Xiao Hong opened the door, only to see the housekeeper of the Duke of Wei's mansion coming over led by the guards: "The villain has seen His Royal Highness, and I am sorry for the young master."

"How to say?" He Xichao asked.

The housekeeper said: "Huo Liang has two books in his hand, one is the list of guests who came and went in the autumn garden, and the other records... those poor women and men."

Xiao Hong stared in shock: "There are still men?"

The butler nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, they are usually young, not yet fully grown, young people with clear faces..." He subconsciously glanced at He Xichao, but soon realized that this was a huge offense, and immediately He lowered his head and continued to report, "According to Huo Liang, some guests are masculine and like to play with pretty boys, but there are a lot of people coming and going in the Nanfeng Pavilion in the south of the city, and they are all famous people. They feel dirty and have a bad reputation, so they restrain themselves." I didn’t go. But when I got to Qiuyuan, I’ll show my true colors, and I’ll make all kinds of outlandish demands, and in order to satisfy them, I’ll naturally start to trick or kidnap good-looking teenagers.”

"Which family lost their son and didn't report it to the officials?" Xiao Hong asked.

"Almost all the targets are foreigners. They have no roots at all. If they are lost and reported to the government, they are generally not found."

Xiao Hong was so angry that he patted the table: "It's unreasonable! Is there any Wang Fa?"

He Xichao knew that Qiuyuan was doing an indescribable business, but he didn't know what was going on inside. Now it sounds like it's not the worst, only worse. It's hard to imagine the filth and privacy inside if you don't see it with your own eyes.

He collected himself and asked, "Would Huo Liang hand over the roster?"

The butler shook his head: "Although he pleaded guilty, he still doesn't give up. He is now holding the two rosters and asking the Duke to save his life."

Without waiting for He Xichao to speak, Xiao Hong sneered and said, "Things who work for tigers still want to live? Just like his master, it's not too much to cut into pieces!"

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Your Highness calm down, the Duke of the State will naturally not agree, and I will come to persuade you again tomorrow."

"No need." He Xichao said flatly at this time, "You will send someone to inform Mr. Fu Yin later, and put this criminal in prison. If he escapes, he will ask to see you himself."

The butler was taken aback for a moment, then respectfully accepted the order.

In less than an hour, He Xichao and Xiao Hong left the cell, and got into the carriage with a satisfied smile on their faces.

Xiao Hong asked: "The eldest princess must know now, will she send someone to silence her?"

"Don't keep silent, wait for Huo Liang to hand over the fatal thing to me?" He Xichao sneered.

It was dark in the cell, but it was just right when the moon was shining outside.

He Xichao suddenly said: "Qiu Yuan will also be disposed of immediately."

"But such a big garden, how to deal with it? If the movement is too big, it will attract attention." Xiao Hong shook his head and said with disgust, "I know what the people and those things are used for. After that, thinking about it makes me panic.”

When He Xichao heard this, he sneered coldly. He turned his head to look at Xiao Hong and asked, "If it were you, what would you do to deal with it once and for all?"

"Me?" Xiao Hong pointed to himself.

"Well, don't worry, I didn't say you're a pervert. It's just about doing things. We have to think from the other side's point of view in order to take the lead."

Xiao Hong twitched the corners of his mouth, then thought for a moment and said: "If it burns, it will be settled once."

He Xichao nodded: "That makes sense, but the fire is so big that it's easy to attract attention. What if someone rushes to put out the fire on the way, and the garden doesn't burn out in time? Isn't it more exposed?"

When He Xichao said this, Xiao Hong already knew what he meant.

He chuckled and said, "The Zhan family is leading the Imperial City Army. If they both set fires and put out fires, it seems reasonable. In addition... if you want to burn quickly, use kerosene."

He Xichao followed suit with a smile.

Not long after He Xichao left for them, Huo Liang sat restlessly in a corner of the cell.

When he was in a daze, there were a few light footsteps, he opened his eyes suddenly, and saw two guards leading a man outside the cell.

The two yamen servants pointed to him, opened the cell, and walked a little further away.

And this man, Huo Liang recognized.

The man smiled, walked in slowly and said, "Master misses you, let me take a look."

Huo Liang swallowed, shook his lips, and subconsciously shrank into the corner: "Many, thank you, Eldest..." Under the sudden cold gaze of that person, he immediately changed his words, "Thank you, master."

Satisfied, the man suddenly asked: "What is He Xichao looking for you for?"

Huo Liang was taken aback, then shook his head: "I, I didn't see him."

The man laughed and said: "I've seen it all, don't hide it, He Xichao is full of tricks, he came to ask you for something, did you give it?"

Huo Liang shook his head again and again, knelt down and said: "No, I really didn't see him, please be careful, master, I am loyal to her and will never betray her."

"Is it not given?"

"No, no, such a terrible thing is extremely detrimental to the master, how could I hand it over?" Huo Liang said earnestly.

The man nodded: "It's fine if you don't have one, you did a good job."

Huo Liang smiled apologetically, but suddenly saw the man raised his head, with a ferocious expression on his face, approaching step by step: "However, do you really dare to hide things privately?"

In the early morning of the second day, Shi Shiran, the housekeeper of Duke Wei's mansion, walked into the prison. Huo Liang threw himself on the railing and shouted, "I'll give it to you. I'll give you whatever you want. I can also testify. Please, Lord Wei, let me go!" The whole family, they don't know anything, they are innocent, please!"

He knelt down and kowtowed, the butler looked at him and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with your neck?"

The bruise on it deepened overnight.

Thinking of the thrilling experience last night, Huo Liang knocked his head even more loudly: "Small crimes deserve death, and they have no face to live. Just my mother-in-law and two children, they really don't know, please leave them alone." Die!"

The butler looked at him blankly, no matter how sinful a person is, he thinks about his family before he dies, but what about those innocent girls and boys, have you ever thought that they are innocent too?

"I will tell the Duke of the country truthfully, where is the roster, tell me."

In the yamen of the Ministry of War, Duke Wei Guo listened to the steward's report, flipped through the two rosters, and didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, he let out a sigh of relief, put the list down, and pointed to one of them: "According to that list, I will go to Huguo Temple to light an ever-burning lamp for these children later."

"Yes."

"Send them all to Xi Chao."

The butler took the brochure, bowed and withdrew it.

After he left, Wei Guogong sighed deeply: "Ah Xiang, this old man just realized what kind of life Shan'er has been living these years, getting along with such monsters and monsters, where is the pit of fire, it is simply Abi Hell!"

After living most of his life, Wei Guogong is not a good person, but no matter how bad he is, he can't do such a disgusting thing, and he can't even imagine it.

Thinking about it, if these tricks were put on He Lingshan, such a delicate girl, as a grandfather, he would really be ashamed to see his eldest son.

He Xiang was stunned for a while when he heard this, but soon he comforted him: "Fortunately, my aunt has returned. If the truth comes to light, Zhan Shaoqi's fate can also be known, and my aunt won't be hurt."

Wei Guogong nodded, and then He Xiang asked: "Yesterday Xi sent a message to the young master, what does the Duke of the country plan to do over there in the autumn garden?"

"Go and call Kubu Langzhong."

The Treasury Department of the Ministry of War, as the name suggests, manages the distribution and storage of military equipment.

It was busy during the war, but it was easy during normal times.

"My lord." Kubu Lang was a little puzzled as to why Wei Guogong was looking for him all of a sudden.

Wei Guogong said: "The minister of the Ministry of Industry mentioned to me yesterday that they are developing new armaments. They may need kerosene in two days. You need someone to count them so that they can come to ask for them at any time."

The doctor asked: "My lord, how much does the Ministry of Industry need? If the reserve in Beijing is not enough, I'm afraid it will have to be transferred from outside."

"It's just a random talk. Without the emperor's order, I don't care so much, how to use it or how to use it at ordinary times. It's just that you have to know it well. If someone calls it, you can just let me know." Wei Guo justice.

Kubu doctor cupped his hands: "Yes, my lord, I understand."

Liyang Princess Mansion

Now that the Zhan family can no longer sit idly by, Zhan Qingpu took time to come to the princess mansion.

He is Zhan Shaoqi's grandfather and the commander of the Imperial City Army. The Zhan family now uses him as the head of the horse.

Facing the eldest princess of Liyang, he couldn't help but said: "Princess, you are too impatient. How can a villain like Huo Liang hand over such a handle casually? But yesterday you sent this sniper , he no longer hesitated, we were completely passive!"

The Eldest Princess didn't close her eyes yesterday, and now her eyes are black and her brows are tightly wrinkled, no amount of makeup can conceal her haggardness.

However, in the face of Zhan Qingpu's complaint, she still raised her eyes sharply, and said with a sneer, "Master Zhan, are you accusing me? If Huo Liang hadn't been arrested in the Zhan family's farm, what happened later?"

"There is no warning at all. How did the Zhan family know and be on guard in advance?" Zhan Qingpu is not a vegetarian either. Forcing this relationship, it is best for him and his wife to live in peace. Do you still expect her to be bullied like those nameless girls in Qiuyuan and keep silent? She is the daughter of the Duke's Mansion Miss, Wei Guogong is still alive!"

The Zhan family now knows the whole story. A typical backyard fire would burn everyone into it, which is ridiculous!

The eldest princess heaved her chest angrily, and said forcefully: "However, I didn't do anything to her by teaching her the duty of being a wife. What's wrong?"

"Then you should teach and persuade, why did you force people away?"

The eldest princess stood up angrily: "What's the use of talking about it now!"

Zhan Qingpu said: "The cause of the incident is clear, if that is the case, quickly invite this aunt back!"

"Do you think I don't want to, I still don't know where He Lingshan is!" the eldest princess said loudly.

Zhan Qingpu frowned upon hearing this: "How do you say that?"

Nanny Fang finally broke in, and told how He Xichao picked up Mrs. He and He Lingshan, and sent people to intercept and provoke him.

The eldest princess sneered and said, "Do you think it's just Wei Guogong? He Xichao intervened, which means the crown prince also knows about it. It's because He Xichao knew the location of Qiuyuan and went to prison last night. I was forced to do this!"

Nanny Fang said: "Commander Zhan, at this point, it is no longer possible to turn back. The other party is not good enough to let it go. He has made it clear that he is going to fight against the Princess Mansion and Zhan's family. We can only find a way to get rid of Qiuyuan before him." Clean it up."

"How to deal with it?" Zhan Qingpu narrowed his eyes as soon as the words came out, and looked at Princess Liyang.

The eldest princess took a sip of tea and said: "Now every move of my princess mansion is under their surveillance, and there is no way to send any manpower, so I have to trouble the commander."

Hearing this, Zhan Qingpu laughed and said, "The eldest princess thinks that no one pays attention to my Zhan family? Wei Guogong is biting it!"

The eldest princess sighed, put down the teacup, looked back at him and asked, "Is there any other way we can go?"

Zhan Qingpu's expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

Mother Fang said: "Commander, in case Ye Chang has many dreams, please do it as soon as possible. The Qiu Garden must be cleaned up before He Xichao does it!"

"How to clean up such a big house?"

The eldest princess smiled and said: "The sky is dry and things are dry, there is nothing to do if you accidentally catch fire, don't you think so?"

Zhan Qingpu felt that this idea was terrible, but as the eldest princess said, there was really no time to think it over.

Because Zhan's son-in-law was loyal to Emperor Tiangan, Zhan's family was deeply trusted by the emperor, so that they could firmly control the Imperial City Army and become the envied dignitaries in the capital.

But if Qiuyuan was found in front of others, the Princess Mansion would not be able to escape the guilt, but the Zhan family could not escape the same, and this favor would come to an end.

Only at this time did Zhan Qingpu feel deeply afraid.

He nodded and said, "I'll take care of this matter. But the eldest princess, no matter what, Shaoqi is the son-in-law of Duke Wei's mansion after all. If He Lingshan can forgive him, then there is room for negotiation. Even if Shaoqi three Kneel down and kowtow nine times to plead guilty, and I must ask her to give her another chance."

When Zhan Qingpu said this, the eldest princess' eyes darkened, and she scratched the table with her fingernails, looking a little unwilling.

"Now that we are in dire straits, the Eldest Princess must take care of the overall situation, otherwise, there is really no way out for you and my two families."

"I know, Commander, don't worry. I'll be a little Fudi, and Gao Gao will confess her. She has the final say on the entire princess mansion. If you don't believe her, she's really hard-hearted and wants to be this widow!"
