Later, I became the prince of the group
Chapter 25 The Truth
The lamps in the Prince's Mansion of Pingcheng County were lit all night, but they were turned off when the Imperial Army surrounded the mansion.
There were not many people brought by Chu Yan, and they spread out to stare at several entrances and exits. Although Chu Yan surrounded the house, Chu Yan gave an order not to disturb the princess of the county. The leader walked through the front door.
The princess of the county sat waiting in the dark front hall, and the bitter smell of the medicine permeated the whole hall.
She glanced at the person who came, and said in a weak and soft voice: "I won't salute Lord An and Princess An, but is there any news?"
Commander Zhou was in a hurry, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Chu Yan: "Does Aunt Tang still need news?"
The princess did not speak.
It was only then that Commander Zhou noticed that although she was gentle, gentle and weak as usual, her eyes were a little more defensive.
From the moment Chu Yan entered the door, she knew that there was no need to hide anymore.
The host didn't entertain, so Chu Yan didn't mind sitting on the side chair, and said in a familiar way: "I'm still wondering why the bandits are so sure that they can snatch people away under the watchful eyes of the guards. Those guards are so powerful that they can protect the crown prince and the princess? Once the guards react and protect the crown prince and the princess, with so many people in the way, the bandits can't even take it by force."
"And you said, would a group of gangsters who can escape without leaving any traces of their feet recklessly arrest people in the street? So I wondered if someone in the Prince's Mansion in Pingcheng County betrayed the news of the prince, such as Those four guards were just putting on airs, or some of the guards were bribed, so that the gangsters dared to take such a risk."
"But if you think about it carefully, what's the need for such an adventure? It's a busy city. Wouldn't it be safer to wait for the prince's chariot and horses to travel in a remote place before seizing people?"
Chu Yan dissected all kinds of doubts one by one, and Commander Zhou couldn't help but secretly marvel.As a person close to the emperor, he has also searched many things, and he is also good at catching clues, but he can't be like Chu Yan, who can catch even the smallest and seemingly useless unusual things, and analyze them. Several possibilities come.
There is no need to find out any clues, just from the point of "no clues can be found", Chu Yan can think of many possibilities.
When these possibilities are put together, the one with the most logical and reasonable logic may be the truth.
"Let me think about it. If I guess wrong, you can interrupt me." Chu Yan said leisurely, "You arrange good people in advance, pretending to be gangsters, and guarding the only way the son must pass. You know that the son will go to a certain house Eat in a restaurant, because this restaurant is very close to Tao Lefang, and you are regular customers. In addition, in order to ensure that there will be no accidents, you may arrange people around Shizi to suggest that he go to this restaurant, or you may order it for Shizi in advance. After ordering the food, tell him that he must go...Of course, I think the people around Shizi don't know about it. After all, they will show their true feelings in front of people if they don't know, which makes people believe that Shizi was really kidnapped. It is precisely because they didn't know that they brought out the sixth princess."
"You specially sent guards with average skills to the prince's side, and told them not to follow too closely, so as not to disturb the prince's leisure time. The bandits you arranged kidnapped the prince on the street as planned, but unfortunately, six The princess was also nearby, and the bandits didn't know who it was, but they probably thought that arresting one more person could deceive others, so they tied the sixth princess back together."
"After they succeeded, they stunned the eldest son and the sixth princess, put them into the carriage, and rushed back to the county palace. The reason why we didn't catch up with anyone was that we were late, and even if we tracked them down, we would feel that they were hidden by the side of the road. The alleys, the peddler carts covered with cloth, and the people on horseback in a hurry are suspicious, but a carriage with a family crest is not suspicious. Of course, this prepared carriage should not belong to your family, after all, the princess of the county is not in good health It is unreasonable for the carriage of the family to appear in the downtown area. Similarly, no one would think it strange that a nobleman’s carriage appeared on the road, so we couldn’t find any witnesses.”
"Later we searched the places where the bandits were most likely to hide, but found nothing, but my princess vaguely reminded me that when the imperial guards searched the minister's house, they didn't dare to go too far. In this way, this kind of 'dare not "Chacha is very likely to be used. But the princess said, no minister would take such a big risk. I think it's right. What if the imperial guards are determined to search and find them out, then it will be true. It’s hard to tell.” Chu Yan paused for a moment, then said meaningfully, “But if it’s the county prince’s mansion, the Imperial Army won’t come in and search it at all, it’s really the safest place.”
Commander Zhou felt goosebumps all over his body when he listened.
Prince Pingcheng was abducted, who would have thought that he was abducted in his own home?Not to mention searching the whole city, even if you search all the land in the capital, you may not be able to find the person.
"No wonder..." Commander Zhou wanted to understand many details, "After the prince left Princess An in the county palace, you played a show with your maid and proposed to go to Lu's house. Naturally, it is impossible for the princess and the people around the princess You are afraid that they will find the princess and the prince who are hiding at home!"
Chu Yan continued: "Because all the progress will be reported to you, you know very well when and where our people will investigate, when to call it quits, and when to ask for help from the defenders outside the city, so you arranged People act at night, intending to take the opportunity to send Xiao Shizi out of the city gate."
"However, your original plan should be to let the 'bandit' take Xiao Shizi out of the city directly. As long as you pretend to faint after hearing the news and delay for a while, you can let the 'bandit' pretend to escape outside the city. If you can't get out of the city , You only need to hide the young prince for a period of time, the case will not be solved, the city gate will still have to be opened, or even find a boy of about the same size and set fire to it, pretending that the prince was killed, the funeral will always be held."
"The only variable is that the sixth princess is related to the princess. The gate of the city was sealed immediately, and the guards all over the city started searching without waiting for you to complain. Aunt Tang will always recognize it."
After he spoke, the princess of the county never interrupted, her face remained indifferent, until she heard this, she smiled wryly: "It's their bad luck, they tied the wrong person."
"Why didn't you release the sixth younger sister? As long as you forge the body of another prince and push a few people to take the blame, you can still secretly send the prince out."
The princess of the county closed her eyes and sighed softly: "It's just that the princess's life is too precious."
The hall was silent for a while, and no one asked the princess why she did this, because no matter what she thought, if the news of "sending the prince out of the city secretly" reached the emperor's ears, it would only mean that the king of Liang and the king of Pingcheng wanted to rebel .
The people who searched in the backyard finally got a reply, and the people whispered a few words in the ears of Chu Yan and Commander Zhou respectively, and the latter directly raised the case: "What!"
But Chu Yan looked at the Princess Princess calmly: "The Princess Princess has thought about it, if you do one more step, you will make a wrong step."
The princess of the county couldn't help laughing: "Could it be that if you stop now, you will die? Since His Majesty made up his mind to be sorry for our family, everything is doomed. I only hope to save my child's life. Shouldn't this be ?"
Chu Yan stared at her for a moment, then asked, "What conditions do you have?"
"Open the city gate and let my people take Li'er away without sending anyone to follow. As long as they arrive in Liangzhou safely, I will release the sixth princess."
Chu Yan's face darkened: "It's impossible to go to Liangzhou, the princess can't last that long. Two days, at most two days, and I'm going to see Wantao today."
The princess of the county seemed to be hesitating, but Chu Yan gave up, and ordered without looking back: "Commander Zhou, immediately go back to the palace to report to the emperor about the two-day deadline, and then tell the princess to return to the palace to bring my clothes and utensils. , All the troops in the county prince's mansion are withdrawn, half of the guards outside the mansion are withdrawn, and the remaining ones unload their weapons first."
After he finished speaking, he stared straight at the princess: "This is your only chance, I think you will cherish your son's life."
The princess of the county took a deep breath and forced her composure on her face: "Of course."
When the news spread to the palace, Emperor Chengxing was furious, cursing "nonsense" and throwing things in the house, everyone fell silent.
Commander Zhou didn't know whether it was the nonsense of the Prince of Pingcheng, or the nonsense of King An who had made an agreement with the princess of the county without authorization, but he could only bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, it is about the safety of the princess, I beg you You decide as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, the empress and all the concubines, princes and daughters who came to express their concerns after hearing the news also knelt on the ground.
The suppressed silence spread for a few seconds, and Emperor Chengxing seemed extremely exhausted, and slowly said: "Allow him for two days."
After receiving the approval letter, Chu Yan and the princess of the county breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but one was calm and the other was on the bright side.
The princess of the county coughed violently, and Chu Yan listened patiently to her coughing, and said: "Please also ask Madam to arrange a room for this king."
At this moment, "Madam" and "Ben Wang" are used again, all reminding her that she is already a traitor and traitor.
The princess of the county couldn't help laughing, a little madly, but silently.She didn't delay for long, and when she recovered, she immediately ordered to the maid beside her, "Arrange a place for King An and ask them to bring him here."
The "bandits" were actually men sent by the county king to take care of his wife and children, and they brought the eldest son and the princess along.
Chu Yan lowered his eyes to prevent the haze from being exposed, and he took Wan Tao who was in a coma from a person who was still unwilling.
If the previous plan to go out of the city is completed, they can exchange the princess for the princess of the county to come out!
But everything is just a trick of the man in front of him to attract people!
Chu Yan held Wantao steady with one hand, and when he turned sideways, he suddenly pulled out the sword from the waist of a prince next to him, and before everyone in the room could react, he cut off the hands of the man who had hugged Wantao. No one saw it clearly!
The sound of drawing the sword and howling sounded at the same time, and the princess of the county quickly took Chu Li, who was still dazed, into her arms.
Ignoring those horrified and hostile eyes, Chu Yan calmly dropped his sword, glanced coldly at the crowd, and finally fixed his gaze on the embracing mother and child, and announced: "The last time you can get along with each other is only a quarter of an hour. "
