Chapter 56: The Truth

"Ah?" Xiaobai blinked her big round eyes, and looked at Yin Zishu in disbelief.

At the beginning, he played in the Jiangnan area, because he was good at martial arts since he was a child, and he has always liked to roam the rivers and lakes, so he solved several cases and arrested several bad guys.

Then he received a secret order from the palace, with the emperor's private seal on it, asking him to go to Beijing to arrest a man named Kang Ping.

"I am the one who passed the secret order from the palace." Yin Zishu said calmly, "Now, I order you, don't investigate this case."

"Why!" Xiao Bai yelled.

Yin Zishu said: "Because this case is beyond your control. You are a little king of Shu, and you are not familiar with the place where you live. There are so many dignitaries in the capital, and any one of them can eat you alive. I will go out to fight tomorrow. , you stay in the capital honestly for me."

"I..." Xiaobai looked at Yin Zishu, but couldn't speak anymore.

Early the next morning, Yin Zishu took Yun Xiaolu and left.

The princess is gone, Yan Qing is gone, and now even Yin Zishu is gone.

Xiaobai and Huo Yunshan were left behind, just two children. If Kang Ping's case really involves a lot, then the two of them really can't do anything.

Sitting on the cold stone steps, Xiao Bai was extremely depressed.

He grabbed a small stone and threw it towards the distance. Wearing white brocade, he looked like a big white snowman in the winter snow from a distance.

Huo Yunshan walked slowly behind him and put his hand on his neck.

Xiao Bai was so shrewd from the cold that he suddenly turned around and saw that it was Huo Yunshan, he grinned and said, "Huao, you're awake."

Huo Yunshan jumped weakly: "Well, after sleeping for a day and a night, my whole body is soft."

Xiaobai dragged him into the house: "It's so cold, don't come out to play."

Huo Yunshan rolled his eyes slyly: "I'm bored staying in the house, so I'll come out for a walk, Xiaobai, let me ask you something."

There was a thud in Xiaobai's heart, afraid that Huo Yunshan's words in Po Dao Temple would cause waves in his heart, but he looked at Huo Yunshan without changing his face: "What's the matter?"

Huo Yunshan pursed his lips, and said cautiously: "Did I say any nonsense when I was unconscious?"

Looking at his uncertain expression, Xiaobai knew that this guy was confused at the time, and he didn't know whether he said it or not.

So he patted Huo Yunshan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, you didn't say where you put your money."

Huo Yunshan let out a long breath of relief, he seemed to have said something excessive to Xiaobai in a daze, he was really afraid that Xiaobai would break up with him if he held a grudge, and it would be embarrassing to meet him in the future.

As soon as he woke up, he came out to look for Xiaobai.

Nothing is fine.

Huo Yunshan thought to himself.

Xiaobai looked at his appearance, supported him and said, "Hurry up and go back to rest, your waist is hurt and you can't move.

It's fine if he doesn't say anything, but when Huo Yunshan talks about it, he feels like he's dying of pain, his face wrinkled into a ball.

Xiaobai pointed to his uninjured shoulder: "Come on, lean in, I will support you!"

Then the two entered the house like Siamese twins.

Zhan Fei was sitting in a wheelchair, watching them from a distance, and a smile appeared on his face from afar.

With two such good children, what kind of grievances in this world cannot be reconciled?

As long as there are them, there is hope in this world.

For the entire first month that followed, Huo Yunshan and Xiaobai were recuperating.

During this period, Yin Zishu's mother and Huo Yunshan's aunt came to cry once, and then scolded him again.

Huo Yunshan listened honestly, and spent the whole first month studying at home.

Xiaobai stopped investigating the case, Eleven was free to take care of the children at home, Zhanfei's child was very talented in martial arts, and became Eleven's little apprentice.

After the first lunar month, the dignitaries in Beijing will prepare for the crown prince's birthday.

The crown prince was born on March [-]rd, which was a good day. On Baihua's birthday, it was said that when he was born, a vision came from the sky, and the whole palace was filled with fragrance.

This prince is an old man in his 40s. He is a noble person, but I don’t know if he is too noble. He has been in poor health. He has been raised in a temple since he was three years old, and later in a Taoist temple. .But all the courtiers thought of any way to pray for him to prolong his life.

But the prince's body is still half dead.

For so many years, every year on his birthday, everyone raced dragon boats on the moat and set off river lanterns to pray for the prince, fearing that the prince would accidentally disappear.

Today, His Majesty has only one son, the crown prince, and no one else!

Now His Majesty the Emperor is in his 60s, if something happens to the Crown Prince, it is not known whether the Great Yan Dynasty will be stabilized or not.

Huo Yunshan spread out a blank sheet of paper, tossing and tossing all morning, preparing to write a poem to congratulate the crown prince's birthday, but he didn't write a single word.

"It's still early, why are you in such a hurry!" Xiaobai said.

Huo Yunshan gave him a blank look: "What do you know? After I finish writing this poem, I have to find someone to frame it, and then send it to Wangyun Mountain with a congratulatory gift. It will take a month anyway!"

Xiaobai let out an oh.

The prince is studying art at Wangyun Mountain, but he is actually recuperating from his illness. Hey, I don't know how long he can live.

The affairs of Xiaobai Shu Kingdom are all left to the ministers, and he has never asked about these matters. Now that Huo Yunshan has to prepare the crown prince's congratulatory gift so early, he feels a little inconceivable.

He ran out by himself without disturbing Huo Yunshan.

During dinner, Xiao Bai came back, he was holding a huge box, followed by Eleven who was also holding the box.

"Who are you?" Zhan Fei looked at them in surprise.

Xiaobai waved his hand: "This is the files of the fraud case back then, I brought them all."

"That's not right!" Huo Yunshan took the file and put it down, "There are not so many files in the Kang Ping case, not to mention that there are still people who obstructed it, and a lot of information has been lost."

Xiaobai shook his head: "These not only include Kang Ping's case, but also other cases of the same period in the same year. I have to read every one of them!"

Huo Yunshan nodded: "I think it's useful. Almost all the people who handled this case have left or died. That's all we can investigate. I believe that as long as we search carefully, we will be able to find something."

"Wait, how did you find it?" Huo Yunshan asked, "The dossier of the Ministry of Punishment is so easy to get into?"

Xiaobai said without shame: "I went in and stole it!"

Huo Yunshan: "..."

The three of them checked the files overnight for several days in a row.

Xiaobai looked at Zhanfei in horror: "It turns out that Kang Ping's fraud case was not the only one."

Huo Yunshan sighed: "Of course it doesn't stop. There are many fraud cases in the imperial examination every year."

Xiaobai pointed to the box of files: "The fraud case back then involved hundreds of people. At the same time as the Kang Ping case, there was another big case!"
