Bastards

That night, Cui Yu and Yang Xuan successfully tricked Cui Shu and fished out another Dragon Guard Order, and under Cui Shu's provocation, they agreed to a future game battle.

It should be accepted, but the game will not be played immediately, without it, everyone is too busy.

There is already a lot of information in hand, and Yang Xuan has to take the lead in arguing with the Turkic brother. Think about it, at this time, it seems that only Cui Yu is a little free, and can sit in front of the charcoal basin, holding tea and teasing the little ones. Tigers play.

In this regard, Cui Shu repeatedly cast a pitiful look.

At the beginning, Cui Yu thought that the little uncle was jealous of him, so he deliberately acted calmly, and taught the little tiger the difficult moves of bowing to the New Year to show off his cuteness. Come on, little uncle, this is pity for him!

It is different from before when the dragon could not see the end and saw no one for several days. These days, the little uncle will go home every day. The time may not be fixed, but every time he comes back, he has to sit with Cui Yu and stroke a beautiful hand. Nephew dog head, to show comfort.

Cui Mata: ...

"Oh——" Cui Shu sighed leisurely, speaking earnestly, "It's not that we don't take you to play, you don't know martial arts, and if things get messy, we worry that we won't have time to protect you... Be good, this guy who grabs people and beats and kills you There is also blood, which is very exciting, but it is really not as interesting and fun as your game. When we are done, I will come to accompany you. In that game, I will let you take a few steps and let you show your love first!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows and patted his chest, his eyes were firm, with a thoughtful look of "how about the little uncle, is he very generous?"

Cui Yu: ...Little uncle, did you misunderstand something?

"I don't like playing games."

The little uncle had a look of pain of "I understand, it's awkward for children to say what they say is wrong", the beautiful nephew was still too lonely, so he had to coax him: "Then the little uncle likes it, can you play with the little uncle?"

Cui Yu turned his head: "I like quiet."

The little uncle looked at the little tiger on the top of the head: "Yeah... I like it so much that I can only play with the little tiger, and I can play all kinds of tricks..."

Cui Mata gritted his teeth: "I really don't feel bored!"

"Okay, whatever my dear nephew says," the little uncle said with a face of "you are beautiful, you are right about everything", "Then what do you want to eat, what do you want, little uncle can help you get it?"

Cui Yu deeply felt that this topic could not go on any longer, so he turned it away decisively: "You are free, why don't you go find Xiang Ling?"

Cui Shu looked puzzled: "Why do you look for him when you have time?"

How nice it is to be with my beautiful, well-behaved and delicious nephew!Why waste time!

His expression didn't seem fake, Cui Yu was really a little curious: "Aren't you in a good relationship?" Could it be that showing affection before was just an exception, was it intentional?

This is of course, Cui Shu nodded immediately: "That's great!"

"Then you—don't want him?"

Asked this way, Cui Shu understood, immediately giggled, with slightly wretched eyes: "Well... when I miss him, I will naturally look for him, and I don't want to do it now."

Cui Mata: ...

Therefore, when you have the urge to do that kind of thing, you will go to Xiang Ling.

So the act of showing affection is really intentional, usually not like that, or even the opposite, very rarely.

Cui Yu felt pity for Xiang Ling inexplicably for a second.

"Then he doesn't want you?"

"When you miss me, you will come to me." Cui Shu looked at Cui Yu, with a face of "climbing to the top and seeing all the mountains and small mountains", "You think we will be like you and Prince Xiong, sticking together whenever we have time ? We're adults."

Cui Mata almost let out a heck.

Thinking of himself and others, the little uncle probably thought that Xiang Ling came to him because he wanted to do that.This view of love must be a headache for Xiang Ling.

Seeing that the beautiful nephew did not speak for a long time, Cui Shu touched his hand, feeling a little cold, and stuffed a hand stove in it: "What are you thinking?"

Cui Yan's eyebrows drooped slightly, and he looked down at the hand stove: "I was thinking...beauty comes from distance, the more uncommon you are, the more you will miss, Xiang Ling will definitely want to see you often."

"Yeah, I always come to see me when I have time, and I don't care if I'm inconvenient. I have found Rouge Lane several times, and I'm still jealous!"

Cui Shu's face was tangled, and his eyebrows were all wrinkled. It seemed that he was really troubled, and he didn't intend to show his affection.

Cui Mata: ...

The little uncle has a lively temper and loves to be noisy. Unless there is something to do, he will never be bored in the same place, but he is different. If there is nothing to do, he enjoys a leisurely and quiet life. If the conditions are met, he will be fine at home for a few months .The little uncle worried that he was lonely and bored, but he was not at all.

But the little uncle's concern made his heart soften.

This is called family.

After the little uncle left, Cui Yu continued to drink tea, eat, play with tigers, read books, and take the opportunity of sorting out the news to practice calligraphy... When the time came, he went to bed.

In the afternoon of the next day, looking at the bright sunshine outside, Cui Yu was a little worried about Yang Xuan.

Last night, news from the hidden guards came back saying that someone moved, and Yang Xuan had already followed, and there might be a big harvest, but they passed night after morning, but there was no reply.

Something is not normal.

Cui Yu was a little flustered, walked around the room several times, and couldn't help but send Mutong out to find out the news, when Yang Xuan came back.

It was not evening yet, the sky was bright, but when Yang Xuan entered Cui's courtyard, he stopped avoiding it, strode over, rushed to Cui Yu's room, entered the door without saying anything, and poured a pot of water first.

After drinking a pot of water and quenching his thirst, Yang Xuan vigorously put the teapot back on the table, gritted his teeth and cursed: "That bastard bastard prepared a substitute!"

Cui Yu stroked Yang Xuan's back, patted Yang Xuan twice, and pressed Yang Xuan's shoulder to make him sit down: "What's going on?"

His eyes are clear, neither angry nor afraid, his expression is peaceful, and even his voice has a calm and reassuring power.

Yang Xuan felt aggrieved, and pressed her big head against his lower abdomen: "Qingqing..."

Cui Yu stroked Yang Xuan's dog's head, and smoothed it out for a while, before asking again: "What's the matter, huh?"

Yang Xuan hugged Cui Yu and let him sit on his lap: "Did you see the message I sent someone last night?"

"Well," Cui Yu nodded, "It is said that someone moved, you should follow it yourself."

"This person, I thought it was Ashina Huyun..."

Yang Xuan recounted what happened last night.

Jia Yixiu recruited a lot of things before his death, combined with his mental state at the time, it should be true, if it was false, it probably wasn't true when he himself learned about it.These things are quite complicated. Yang Xuan led people to quickly monitor and investigate, and quickly confirmed the authenticity of these news. It's just that there are too many people, different identities, and different connections in social circles. Most of them don't seem to overlap...

Fortunately, there were enough people, each of them counted one as ten, and within a short time, a thread was found.The downlines suspected of Ashina Huqu have different circle networks, but have the same convergence point, so this convergence point, this person, is the key.

Xu is Ashina Huyun himself.

Last night, one of the people under surveillance walked out of the house in a low-key disguise.

This person is a small official, he is very well-behaved in his daily affairs, he is very thoughtful, and he is very good at paperwork, but because of his disciplined temperament, he behaves a little straight-forward and doesn't like to go out at night.

As soon as he moved, the shadow guard who was in charge of tracking felt something was wrong and sent a message to Yang Xuan.

"We all think that it must be the time for the Mother and Child Gu on his body, and the antidote must be taken..."

Yang Xuan arrived at the first time, followed the small official, turned left and right, even passed through Rouge Lane, and entered a remote dark room...

Not long after, someone arrived.

A man wearing a black hoodie appeared suddenly, and gave the official a small porcelain bottle. The official immediately opened the stopper and drank with his neck raised.

Yang Xuan squinted her eyes: "The bottle must contain the suppressive potion of mother-child Gu!"

Cui Mata asked, "What did they say?"

"I only said a few words, and I can't see any mystery in the daily greetings." Yang Xuan shook his head, "But because it is too ordinary, I can't find any clues, so I suspect it."

The secret method of control, the regular meetings that only happen after a long time, each meeting must be very important, and there are other channels for information transmission, it is not as good as face-to-face communication, but we have all met, but the atmosphere is so quiet, Except for a few greetings, there is nothing else, isn't it a bit abnormal?

Thinking about it carefully, even these few greetings seemed to be casually extended to ease the embarrassment.

Yang Xuan originally planned to follow this official to find someone, and he would take him down in one fell swoop, but in this case, he hesitated.

He did not order arrest, but continued to follow.

He wanted to see where this hooded man ended up going.

But the man in the hood was very vigilant, he didn't know if he suddenly found out that they were following him, or he had discovered it a long time ago, he pretended not to know, intending to escape in one fell swoop, in short, he moved.

He deliberately chose an area with very complicated lanes. His body was like a swimming fish, and he was extremely flexible. He quickly slid in and out of the lane, and his body was in one place in the dark, which almost made Yang Xuan suffer.

This man was very quick-witted, and he was good at using poison. The hidden guards injured two of them. Yang Xuan thought it was impossible, so he personally went to arrest him.

Compared with Yang Xuan's strength, the man in the hood was far behind. In the end, he lost to Yang Xuan and was caught by Yang Xuan.

"Catch it, but it's a corpse!"

Yang Xuan gritted her teeth angrily, this guy had poison in his mouth and committed suicide!

"Take off the hood on his head. This person looks to be at most 25 years old, but Ashina Huyun has been lurking in Da'an for decades, and the adulterous son of the concubine Tongtian is almost [-]. How could this person be!"

But he has the ability to detoxify the child-mother Gu, and he has a smooth connection with the small secretary of the official department. It is obvious that he is Ashina Huyun's person, and he is a substitute thrown out on purpose!Sure enough, he was right, it's useless to catch it!

Yang Xuan was like an angry cow, wheezing heavily.

Cui Mata let him vent his emotions, but he was also thinking hard.

"We keep things secret. Jia Yixiu's matter was handled very well, and there were no loopholes. It's impossible for Ashina Huyun to know that we already knew so much, so he was on guard before letting the double out..."

Yang Xuan slapped the table: "The old man is cunning by nature, he has dealt with it so habitually early in the morning, he hides behind this layer of people, and guarantees that if there is any accident, he will be fine!"

"So..." Cui Yu lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, "Have you dealt with the scene?"

Yang Xuan glanced at Cui Yu, feeling wronged and resentful: "It's just dealt with, I just came back so late..."

When he found something wrong, he immediately tried to remedy it.

Ashina Huyun must be aware of the people around him. The hooded man's delay in returning will definitely arouse his vigilance. They have done so much, but there is no result yet, how can they scare the snake away!

Yang Xuan wanted to clean up the scene without leaving any traces, but he was afraid that the other party might have some secret marks. They could wipe off what was painted on the ground or on the surface, but what about the smell of poison?What about after effects?Is there any mystery hidden?

It's not enough to think about it, you can't erase it forcibly, it's better to make it misinterpret.

Cui Yu nodded: "You are right to worry. And the hooded man played hide-and-seek with you all the way. There are traces everywhere in the alleys and on the side of the street. It is not easy to completely erase them."

And not much time.

"So I set up a crime scene."

Yang Xuan squeezed Cui Yu's soft hand: "Last night at Haishi, a criminal escaped from the prison of the Ministry of Justice, which alarmed the guards. Many officers on duty chased after him and arrested them. During the pursuit, they bumped into this hood male……"

"The man in the hood was dressed suspiciously, so he was going to be questioned, but he didn't cooperate, and ran away without stopping. The officers thought he was a criminal who had successfully changed his clothes, and they chased after him."

"The criminal saw it, and just played tricks, hid in a place, and let the man in the hood act as a scapegoat."

"One-to-many, the man in the hood was invincible, and he refused to make it clear. When he fell into the hands of the officers, he bit the poison. The officers thought they had caught the criminal, but he died. When they took off their hats, they realized it was not ..."

The corners of Cui Mata's lips raised slightly, and his voice was soft: "The officers made mistakes, and they didn't catch the right person, but this man in the hood made even more mistakes. When the officers ask questions, you can just say no. If you don't speak, you can still do it." Running away, it is normal for the officials to become suspicious and chase after him closely."

Although this accident was too coincidental, it was quite reasonable and logical.

Yang Xuan proudly kissed Cui Yu and said, "Of course!"

The idea was his idea, the criminals were found by the hidden guards, and they kept staring at them. In the end, the man in the hood died, and the scene was completely arranged. They would definitely not let the criminals go. On the way out of the city, at the most thrilling moment, he was caught by the police.

Cui Yu: "Are you sure the man in the hood left no other traces?"

"I asked Fu Rongsen and Yin Zimo to help check it, and I found two small special marks on the way, and they helped to dispose of it."

Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little scared after thinking about it.Those two marks were extremely inconspicuous. His hidden guards went around and wiped off a few of them. Only those two were not found. If it weren't for these two dragon guards, he would definitely suffer a lot from this one. .

"Fu Rongsen and Yin Zimo seem to be extremely talented, especially good at dealing with these underdogs..."

Within Xu Longwei, the direction of management and training is different, and each has its own strengths.

Cui Yu looked at Yang Xuan: "Are you sure there are no problems at the scene, and there is nothing missing?"

"I personally watched the follow-up, and came to see you only when there was nothing unusual everywhere."

Cui Mata hummed lightly.

The room was very quiet for a while, except for the sound of charcoal burning in the charcoal basin.

a long time.

Yang Xuan leaned her head on Cui Yu's shoulder: "But Qingqing... I'm not sure what to do next."

The on-site deployment was reasonable and reasonable, and he could successfully deceive Ashina Huyun, but until now, he only knew the name, what Ashina Huyun looked like, where he lived now, and what he was planning. I don't know.

Jia Yixiu recruited many things, but not all of them.No matter how much he was told by Ashina, it was impossible for the old man to let him know everything. The old man's strength was probably much more than he imagined.

He knew that the old man had an adulterous affair with Concubine Tian Gui, and that he had an adulterous son, King Changjun, but he had no proof.Without evidence, people cannot be nailed to death, which is equivalent to no evidence.

So next... what to do?

He can continue to follow, monitor and investigate, but what if the double comes out again?

If you persevere, you will definitely be able to follow Ashina Huyun, but this time... probably will be a long time.

Will there be any surprises after such a long time?

Either they startled the snake, or the old man became malicious and did something bad, neither of which is good.

"So..." Cui Yu patted Yang Xuan's head, "Let's fish with Prince Chang!"

Yang Xuan raised her head abruptly, her gaze changed from wandering to clear: "You mean—"

Cui Yu blinked slyly: "The matter between him and Concubine Tian is unclear. Who knows whether it is true love or fake love, but he really loves King Chang even if he didn't tell him the truth..."

Yang Xuan was very sure about this: "It's only natural."

Just by asking his subordinate tattoo assassination team to assassinate the king of Yue several times, he can see the old man's heart of being a father!

A Turkic man has been lurking in Da'an for decades, why?Either personal enmity or national hatred, wanting to destroy Da'an.In terms of personal enmity, I can't tell that the things Ashina Huyun did were obviously intended to oppose Da'an, maybe at first he wanted to oppose Da'an, and later he had a son, so he wanted to help his son succeed?

Anyway, no matter from which angle, King Yue didn't mess with him, so he didn't need to stare at King Yue and kill him.Even if King Yue was the heir apparent to everyone before, and the crown prince came back, the candidate had changed, but Ashinahuyun's goal remained the same. There was no other reason except from the perspective of his own son, Prince Chang.

This person, to a certain extent, loves Duke Chang.

Cui Yu squinted his eyes: "Even though King Chang suffered some minor injuries and shocks before, fortunately, he is still a good person. It is not impossible to have children, but there will not be too many. It is not a big deal. But if one day , he suddenly fell into big trouble, is he in danger of life?"

Yang Xuan said directly, "The old man must not be able to sit still!"

Cui Yu smiled: "So this trouble, it has to be lively, and the whole country knows..."

Yang Xuan followed: "It has to be related to the King of Yue, choose me as the crown prince..."

The two looked at each other, each other's eyes were the reflection of each other, and the smiles on the corners of their lips were exactly the same sinister, very tacit understanding.

"Then now, the difference is just an entry point."

This time, they were very lucky. As soon as they made up their minds and wanted to find an entry point, the entry point came to them directly.

Long Wei Guansan, who has been getting tired of falling in love with Abu Keer a few days ago, has finally come back to his senses and started to get down to business.After returning to his post, he heard about the subordinates for three days and nights. On the fourth day, he found Cui Yu.

"Sir, do you still remember the day I met you at the Tianze Temple Buddhist Association, and I mentioned the matter of the price of food with you?"

Guan San's style of acting is the same as before, simple and direct, and he gets right to the point as soon as he comes.

Cui Yu was sorting out the files to see if the opportunity was right. When he heard this, he put down his things and sat down at the table: "Remember, you said that something was wrong at the time, and you are not sure yet. You have to think about it."

Guan San jawed his head: "It's confirmed now."

Cui Mata turned his head sideways: "Huh?"

"King Chang, he is hoarding food."

Cui Yu's eyes widened: "Prince Changjun, are you hoarding food?"

Really King Chang?

The king of Changjun, who is fierce on the inside, weak on the outside, strong on the outside, and dry in the middle?How dare he do this?Is there someone on hand to help him with this?

"I know what Mr. is suspecting, but this matter is true." Guan San's expression was determined, obviously he had verified it.

Cui Yu personally held the pot and poured tea for Guan San: "I would like to hear more about it."

Guan San tapped the table with his fingertips to thank him, and began to talk about it.

The annual grain price, according to the time of year and the seasons, the price fluctuates, not necessarily. However, Guan San has been in business for many years, and he is very accurate about the fluctuation of this law.There are no natural disasters this year, so the weather is considered to be good, and the harvests in various places are good. In autumn, the price of grain should be cheaper than in previous years, at most the same, but this autumn, the price of grain is slightly more expensive.

Because the increase was not too obvious, and it didn't reach the abnormal range, he didn't pay much attention.

Now that it's winter, it is reasonable that the price of food should rise, but this rising trend has been a little bit too much, and he has attracted people's attention.

As a result, as soon as I paid attention to it and checked it deeply, I found something was wrong.

Some people were hoarding grain quietly, thinking that their actions were secretive and would not be noticed, but whenever they wanted to buy, there would be traces. Guan San checked dozens of state capitals, followed the grain buyers, and gradually touched Luoyang and the king of Changjun.

"This king of Changjun is a little clever. It's not that he didn't think about it, but he is really not familiar with the business route."

The king of Changjun had a heart, and he bought grain in secret, and most of them did not use water transport, but went by land.The grain transported by the big commercial firm to Luoyang came to Luoyang, and he didn't start to buy it until he got off the boat.He didn't know that the water transport was the crown prince's territory, but he knew that the water transport was deep, and it was easy to leak information, so it was useless to be cautious.

Most of these grains are bought at random, accumulated little by little, and the quantity bought in each place is not much, he must think it is safe.

It's indeed very safe. If you don't tell the outside, no one will pay attention. It's already winter, so no one knows?

But if it gets the attention of a big business like Guan San, it doesn't matter if you don't know it at first, and you can find it out after a little research.It is too difficult to clear up the tail in the market.What's more, the king of Changjun is a man who doesn't understand business.

"Hoarding food..." Cui Yu wanted to laugh, "Is this county prince trying to rebel?"

Guan San took the tea slowly: "It may not be because he is determined to rebel, Xu is purely for making money."
