"I—" Rong Youtang was stopped outside the threshold, a little at a loss, but soon relieved, took a step back, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Zuo Fan.

"You still call me? How did you learn the rules? You really should slap your mouth." Zhao Zewu folded his arms, looked down at Rong Youtang, and muttered with mixed feelings: "You little stupid rabbit!"

"..." On such an occasion, Rong Youtang couldn't argue, so he could only keep silent, imagining himself as a wooden stake.

Oh I got it.The fifth prince's ears were sharp, and he suddenly realized what he was listening to and nodded, and looked at Rong Youtang with emotion: So the third brother likes this type of boy?Tsk~

Fortunately, Zhao Zeyong's urging voice quickly came from inside: "What are you doing at the door? Come in quickly!"

"Here we come." The fifth prince smiled gently at the young man, turned around and walked away gracefully.He didn't intend to embarrass others, he just wanted to see his brother's reaction.

But Zhao Zewu still blocked the door, staring at the top of Rong Youtang's head, and after a silent confrontation, he threatened in a low voice: "You dare to look up at people in the palace, be careful that your eyeballs are poached!" After finishing speaking, he shook his robe Sleeve turned around proudly.

Rare, the dog spit out ivory and finally said a few human words...

Although the two of them had some unhappiness, Rong Youtang could tell whether it was good or bad—although he had a rough background, he had no experience of being a slave, so he rushed to the palace at this time, and it was inevitable that he would lose sight of the other, and he was not as good as a well-trained servant , can only be more cautious, meditate.

The scene of the incident was the left ear room of the Qiyuan Hall, which was specially used for the princes who were on duty at night to take a nap. All the furnishings were of the highest quality, but at this time it was burnt beyond recognition, and the nostrils were burnt.

The captain in charge of rescuing people described the incident in as much detail as possible.

"At the end of Haishi, we found a fire, but the one who called for help was not you who should be in the room, but Xiao Jiu." Zhao Zeyong checked carefully in front of Luo Han's couch, and asked, "Lao Qi, do you know that Xiao Jiu came to look for you?"

"I don't know! I really don't know!" Zhao Zewu wrinkled his face into a bitter gourd, and shouted, "Third brother, if I know that Xiao Jiu is running around in the middle of the night in winter, I must send him back to Kun He Gong, he is still a child!"

Zhao Zeyong turned around, looked at the person fixedly and asked: "Then you who should be in the Qiyuan Hall, where did you go? Old Seven, something big happened, and you still want to hide it? Or do you want to wait for the father to be interrogated?"

"No! No, no, no!" Zhao Zewu repeatedly waved his hands for forgiveness, scratched his head anxiously, turned around several times like a trapped animal, and then said softly, "I, I went to see Xiao Zhuo, and he is also on duty tonight."

Who is Xiao Zhuo?

Rong Youtang thought to himself, at the same time, he smelled a strong aroma of wine. After being burned, it smelled of burning, which was even more peculiar. When he sniffed carefully, it was... plum fragrance?But a little muddy.Rong Youtang had studied wine making seriously with his biological mother, so he was considered half a wine maker.

"Who is Xiao Zhuo?" Zhao Zeyong had already guessed seven or eight points, hating iron for being weak, and asked under pressure: "Which young master are you provoking this time?"

"Xiao Zhuo is Zhuo Kai, and his father is Zhuo Zhiyang, the right deputy commander of the Forbidden Army." Zhao Zewu licked his pale lips, and said anxiously, "Third brother, don't make things difficult for him?"

"Embarrassing? If you are in the army, you will not be able to escape the military law!" Zhao Zeyong was furious: "You each have a mission, and you should do your duty and do your best. It is strictly forbidden to leave your post without permission! If everyone is like you, Isn’t the palace in chaos? It’s simply lawless and reckless! Come!”

The imperial guard responded immediately: "The end is here."

"Get Zhuo Kai immediately and send it to—"

"Third Brother, don't send him to Big Brother!" Zhao Zewu whispered with a pale face, "His father was picked up by Mr. Han, Xiao Zhuo is so handsome—"

Zhao Zeyong didn't want to hear any more bastard words, so he said the second half of the sentence with a cold face: "Send him to Kunhe Palace, and have him interrogated by His Highness the Second Highness."

"Yes!" The guard took the order and left.

"Third Brother~" Zhao Zewu was extremely grateful.

"Don't be happy, you made a mistake too. I have no right to punish you, but the emperor does." Zhao Zeyong reminded lightly, walked to Rong Youtang who was quietly observing, and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"I just wanted to talk to Xiao Zhuo.... We were all fine before." Zhao Zewu explained with a guilty conscience.

The fifth prince hurriedly said: "It's three o'clock in the middle of the night, a private meeting to chat? The seventh brother is really elegant." He also turned to the round table, leaned closer and asked: "What? Did you find something?"

Rong Youtang looked at Zhao Zeyong, and the latter nodded: "It's okay, let's talk." So he put forward his own idea: "At the end of Haishi, there was a fire, and His Highness Ninth Prince called for help. He was on the Arhat's bed at that time, and I guess he woke up from a dream. Someone dismantled the Arhat couch in advance, sealed it with sesame oil, and tried to ignite it, which is undoubtedly arson and murder."

"It turns out that the third brother asked you to come in and investigate the case." The fifth prince exclaimed seriously.

"I don't dare to take it, it's just a personal guess!" Rong Youtang hurriedly declared, and he said: "When Your Highness Jiu is awake, you can find out some things as soon as you ask. Your Highness, can you ask someone to test this wine?" Rong Youtang raised his eyebrows. finger.

Zhao Zeyong didn't ask any more questions, and immediately asked someone to invite the imperial physician to come.

"Is there something wrong with this green plum wine?" Zhao Zewu asked hurriedly, "Master Wu recently fell in love with it, and it's newly made by the Imperial Wine Division."

Rong Youtang cautiously shook his head: "It's hard to say, I'll know after the imperial doctor's examination. I... I like to make wine when I'm young, and I tinker with it every year, so I know that if this green plum wine is made well, it will be clear and mellow, especially 'clear'. The small ones were not well grasped at the beginning, and the brewing is also so turbid - but this is made by the imperial department for drinking by the royal family, no matter how 'new' it is, it is unlikely to destroy the 'clean'."

"So you like brewing wine? What are you brewing now?" Zhao Zewu got close, habitually itchy, and couldn't help but want to touch something.

"..." Rong Youtang moved further away without moving his expression, and continued to analyze: "According to the rescuer, the doors and windows of the ear room were not blocked when the incident happened, but the fire broke out suddenly and violently. Fortunately, His Highness Ninth Prince escaped quickly, otherwise, we would have been saved." No matter how timely it is, it will cause severe burns—then this is a contradiction: how difficult it is to murder the prince, the murderer must have planned for a long time, and tried his best to move the sesame oil in and hide it properly, so how could he let His Royal Highness... escape? ?" At the end, Rong Youtang subconsciously looked at Zhao Zewu.

In fact, everyone is looking at Zhao Zewu.

Zhao Zeyong picked up a piece of cotton that was burnt black and scattered: "What is this?"

"Oh, when rushing in to save people, His Highness the Ninth Highness was wearing a cloak that burned badly, and the general was in a hurry, so he just drew his knife and tore off the cloak and outer robe to extinguish the fire."

"You did a good job!" Zhao Zeyong patted the captain on the shoulder heavily: "I am very grateful to you." The captain blushed and hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head.

It wasn't until this time that Zhao Zewu belatedly said: "Green plum wine is my favorite drink. Recently, I am used to drinking a few cups before going to bed to help me sleep. Every time I am on duty at night, I ask someone to prepare it. This, this cloak is also my drink." "Hey, don't you think there's something wrong?"

Rong Youtang said heartily: You finally realized something was wrong.

Zhao Zeyong frowned. There was nothing he could do with such a brother. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a loud bang, deafening, and the air wave hit, squeezing the internal organs of the human body in an instant, the smell of gunpowder filled the air, and the house shook violently. Zhao Zewu: Hey, Don't you think there is a problem?

Boom~~~~~ Explosion!

Zhao Zewu: If you don’t know, forget it, why bomb people? 【angry face】
