With Hua Xiaolou's prescription, Lu Fu's condition gradually improved, but he had no memory of stabbing Lu Sui in Qianjinfang.

When Hua Xiaolou came to look for Lu Sui again, Lu Sui was sorting out and analyzing the news reported by the spies in recent days before he and Wen Tingyi buried their heads in the case.

Lu Sui had a writing brush in his mouth and four or five sticks in his hair. He was so tired and paralyzed that he nestled in a corner of the table, staring at Wen Tingyi's profile motionlessly, his eyes seemed to be full of starlight Beauty.

Sensing Hua Xiaolou's approach, Wen Tingyi raised his eyes slightly, and said softly, "Your Highness, Xiaolou is here."

Hearing this, Lu Sui was startled, and suddenly got up from the table, straightened his sleeves in a pretentious manner, and coughed twice in a pretentious manner.

After getting along for a long time, Wen Tingyi discovered that Lu Sui, no matter how inhuman he is in the queen, he still looks human in front of others.What's more, this person is Hua Xiaolou who has had a big quarrel with him for three days and a small quarrel for two days since he was a child.

Hua Xiaolou thought he was sneaking, and opened the door suddenly, but seeing the two people in front of him ignored him and didn't move, he was very frustrated: "Brother Wen, are you human... your hearing is so good."

Wen Tingyi smiled decently, accepted his compliment with pleasure, and said: "Actually, it's not something to boast about. Sometimes good hearing is not a good thing."

Wen Tingyi unfolded another letter, and then asked, "What news do you have for coming here?"

Hua Xiaolou slapped his forehead violently, and then realized that he had something important to tell them, and quickly said, "Yes, there is indeed something important."

Wen Tingyi turned his ears to listen, and he heard him say quietly: "Last night I went to the mass grave in the suburbs to dig up the corpses. Guess who I found?"

Lu Sui didn't have time to talk nonsense with him. Seeing that he was pretending to be mysterious, he urged impatiently, "Don't talk nonsense, and tell me who you saw."

Hua Xiaolou said after a while: "Shang Lian. To be precise, it is Shang Lian's corpse."

Wen Tingyi's hand holding the pen froze slightly, his eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at Hua Xiaolou.

Hua Xiaolou continued: "It's also my fault for being negligent. I didn't notice that he had been drugged beforehand. My little drug happened to trigger the poison, and he died so unknowingly."

Wen Tingyi said lightly: "This is not a coincidence, but someone did it on purpose."

Hua Xiaolou is the son of Hua Shouyi, a general of Wuwei, but he didn't like to dance knives and guns since he was a child, but he was fascinated by the art of Qihuang.When he was young, he didn't care about the schoolwork in the Wenhua Palace. When he had nothing to do, he loved to sneak to the imperial garden to catch birds with Lu Sui, Ye Baozhang and others.

Later, after being angrily reprimanded by the master of the Wenhua Palace for being uneducable, General Hua understood that this kid was against him, so he gave up and let him go to the imperial hospital to learn medical principles from the imperial physician.

Hua Xiaolou's drug was concocted by himself.

It seems that this person is deeply scheming, and the city is extremely deep.Not only did he have a deep understanding of the group of them, but he also tried his best to plot and arrange them. Every step they took was actually within that person's plan.

After a few days of deliberation, Wen Tingyi has been able to confirm that their actions in Qianjinfang this time have actually been calculated by others.What's even more frightening is that Wen Tingyi has no way of knowing what the man's purpose is.

"Forget it, this matter has to be discussed in the long term. By the way, is there any movement at Qianjinfang?"

Hua Xiaolou tapped the table with his fingers before saying: "It is indeed something to gain. This is in Shang Lian's hand. But that night, he didn't have this thing in his hand yet."

After he finished speaking, he took out a small jade ring finger from the purple bag on his waist and handed it to Wen Tingyi.Wen Tingyi held it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, but his expression did not change.

Lu Sui came over to have a look, and said after a long while: "This jade..." He took the jade wrench into his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, then suddenly said: "Akita Nuanyu, this is clearly for the imperial use. Moreover, since five Years ago, the emperor had decreed that this jade should only be rewarded to the Wen family, how dare he use this jade to visit Qianjinfang."

Wen Tingyi gently put the jade wrench finger into the brocade box on the table, then took a pen and slowly wrote down his previous experience on the paper.

According to the purpose of Lu Sui's trip, as long as Lu Fu was successfully rescued that night, the two would leave Shunan.But

First, Lu Fu was bought in advance, and then they rescued the fake Lu Fu under Shang Lian's hands. Later, they were led into the secret way and narrowly escaped death, and then they happened to be rescued by Ye Baozhang.

And today, Hua Xiaolou said that he had picked up the tragic death of Shang Lian, and this finger wrench that should not have appeared on him...

What a coincidence.

Wen Tingyi's writing hand stopped suddenly, and a drop of ink dripped from the tip of his nose onto the paper, smudged into a small ink flower.He raised his eyes slightly, thinking for a moment that he wanted to understand something, and said: "This person wants us to investigate Qianjinfang."

Qianjinfang's power in Shuzhou is intricate and intertwined, and many people are deeply poisoned.Ye Baozhang also thought about eradicating this force, so as to restore the stability of the people in Shuzhou.However, once it is done, the whole Shuzhou will have to suffer from injuries, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"The chaos in Qianjinfang has not been controlled for many years, and the king of Shu is powerless. This time, His Highness was injured here, so the king of Shu made up his mind to eliminate the chaos in Qianjinfang. He is forcing us to thoroughly investigate Qianjinfang."

Hearing this, Lu Sui stroked his chin and nodded.

Indeed, if it weren't for Fu'er, no matter how mysterious and inscrutable Qianjinfang was, or how many evils it did, it would arouse public opinion.He will not have any connection with Qianjinfang.

A lot of things are just so powerless, even the ninety-five lords sitting on the Golden Dragon Hall can't control them, let alone them.

Lu Sui stared at the brocade box on the table for a while, then frowned suddenly, and asked, "Akita Nuanyu, Wen's... Concubine Wen... Lu Xun."

"Lu Xun... Could this be related to Lu Xun?"

As soon as this remark came out, Hua Xiaolou didn't respond, but Wen Tingyi fell into deep thought.Lu Sui pressed his fist against his chin, suddenly thought of something, and quickly asked Hua Xiaolou: "During the search of Qianjinfang, did you find a man wearing a mask, moon-white clothes, and silver-white Du Ruo patterns embroidered on his clothes?"

Hua Xiaolou thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "I went to the prison to check, and there is no such person."

Hearing this, Lu Sui was in a daze for a while, and suddenly said: "No, Ye Baozhang surrounded Qianjinfang early in the morning, that person can't leave, he must be still there!"

After a moment of silence, Lu Sui and Wen Tingyi looked at each other, and instantly understood what the other meant -

That secret room.

The two figured this out, hurriedly set off from the Shu Palace, and rushed to the secret room where Lu Sui was found.

This secret room was secretly built in a bamboo forest around Qianjinfang, a long distance away from Qianjinfang, and few people usually come here, so it is the most hidden.

At this time, the room was surrounded by soldiers holding long swords. It can be seen that Ye Baozhang really worked hard this time, and he must be severely punished.

Once the two arrived at this place, they didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurried into the room to find out.Three or four days had passed by now, but the room was probably due to lack of ventilation, and a faint smell of blood could still be smelled.

The two rummaged around the house for a while, but found nothing useful.

"What's going on, if it's not hiding here, where else can it be hiding?" Lu Sui sat down on the bamboo chair, raised one of his legs, panting.

Wen Tingyi paced in front of the bookshelf, looking carefully for any clues on the bookshelf.Lu Sui saw a mess on the table next to him and had a headache.

Just when he was about to look away, he caught a glimpse of something and quickly called Wen Tingyi.

"Heng Xiao, what do you think this is?"

Hearing the sound, Wen Tingyi rushed over, only to see Lu Sui staring at the porcelain on the table that was used to hold Baizi, motionless.Lu Sui said, "Look at the edges of these porcelains. A lot of dust has accumulated on the porcelain and the chessboard where the sunspots are placed, why is this one clean?"

Lu Sui was suspicious and wanted to pick up the porcelain and take a closer look. Who would have thought that the porcelain was as if it was attached to the table and could not be lifted at all.

Lu Sui understood in an instant.

He turned the porcelain slightly to the left, and there was the sound of gears turning.Then the two found that the wall on the left was slowly opened from the middle, revealing a piece of darkness.

The two slowly walked towards the wall, and when they were close to the opening, a black shadow suddenly appeared from inside. Lu Sui dodged sideways, and the black shadow quickly seized the opportunity to pass him by.

Just two steps away, a willow leaf dart suddenly pierced his ankle, and the black figure groaned and fell heavily to the ground.

Lu Sui hurried over to push the man to the ground, and said, "I was wondering why the owner of the shop disappeared, so he hid here. Do you think you can escape?"

Although Lu Sui has never seen the real face of the owner of Qianjinfang, but judging from his figure, he should be the correct person.

It seems that this person hid here that day, and escaped a catastrophe. He wanted to wait for others to leave before going out, but Ye Baozhang was determined this time. The world behind this wall is not until now.

The man grinned and said, "Who said I was going to escape? Your Royal Highness, you are so naive."

Before Lu Sui realized what he meant, he heard Heng Xiao's warm and distant voice from beside him.

"Are you worried that we won't be able to find this?"

The man turned his head and saw a few letters in Wen Tingyi's hands. Although the edges had been burned, the contents probably hadn't been burned.

The man's expression changed in an instant, his face was like gold paper, and he said after a long time: "Even if you got it, so what?"

Wen Tingyi smiled like a spring breeze: "Oh, really? Then what are you worried about?"

That person probably knew that he hadn't destroyed the evidence, and he was doomed to die.His face turned purple for a while, then turned blue for a while, and suddenly he spit out a mouthful of black blood, his head tilted, and he lost his breath completely.

Lu Sui pushed him aside in disgust, patted the dust on his sleeves, then stood up and walked towards his wife.But seeing Wen Tingyi frowning and looking at the letter in his hand, he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, Heng Xiao, why do you look so bad?"

Wen Tingyi closed his eyes, and gave the papers to Lu Sui after a while.Lu Sui glanced roughly, and his eyes stayed on the seal on the paper.

There are four large characters on the square stamp - the seal of King Gong.

And this Prince Gong is exactly the second son of the current Holy Majesty, Lu Xun.

The contents of these papers are similar, but the same person is discussing how to make the treasure obtained from Qianjinfang enter Lu Xun's hands in a legitimate way.

In fact, Lu Sui is very familiar with this method. After all, money can turn ghosts around, and everything in the court requires money.Every year, the Ministry of Households deducts the military salaries of border soldiers, and Lu Sui will use his private accounts in the palace to cover the vacancy of the court.Naturally, his money did not fall from the sky, but depended on Xiang Yingxiu's business in Shuzhou.

It seems that Qianjinfang is secretly owned by Lu Xun.In other words, it turned out to be under the hands of the Wen family.

Lu Sui was afraid for a while... If Lu Sui used the money to supplement the salaries of the soldiers.So why did Lu Xun, who was raised in rich clothes and fine food in Chang'an City, and high-ranking writers use this method to collect money from the people?

Lu Sui wondered who would take the risk of laundering money for Lu Xun, and asked, "Lu Xun is quite ambitious, and he actually collected money from the people and asked people to launder it for him. "

Wen Tingyi's eyelashes drooped, his eyes fluctuated, and he said after a while: "Wen's Bank."
