miscalculation

After Xiao Zheng entered Beijing, he lived in the Yin Mansion, except for going to the palace to see Xiao Yi, and visiting a few princes, he never moved a single step.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, it was the seventh day of Yin Zhonglin's first day, and it was extremely lively.Before Yin Zhonglin was alive, peaches and plums were all over the world. Since the news of his serious illness came out, officials and disciples from all over the country kept coming to visit him. After his illness, there were also many people.Until midnight at the end of the Lantern Festival, the mourners had dispersed, and the Yin Mansion was still open to avoid students from other places.

After seeing the third watch, Xiao Zheng was a little tired, and was about to go back to rest, but he heard a sound at the door, so he went to look.There was a pawn standing at the door, wearing simple coarse clothes, pleading with the steward, wanting to come in and pay homage.Half of his face was covered with scars, and he looked extremely scary in the night, but he was tall and powerful.

"Our lord's disciples are all scholars, and there are many officials and ministers who are officials in the court. How can someone in the army dare to lie about the lord's disciples, so go away!"

The boss of the housekeeper was impatient, but saw that he was dressed in the army, he was not of the highest rank, he was just trying to get some money, so he drove him away.

"Don't worry, I don't ask for anything, I just want to burn three sticks of incense for Boss Yin, and I will leave immediately."

This person is quite calm, he doesn't mind the disdain in the steward's words, he just stands neither humble nor overbearing, not like ordinary soldiers, his gestures are quite dignified, not like a pawn who lives under others.

"Housekeeper, let him in." Xiao Zheng said, but he was a little strange in his heart, why this person's voice was so familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

The man obviously didn't expect Xiao Zheng to be here, his face suddenly became a little nervous, he only bowed to thank him, and then walked step by step to the lobby.He kowtowed three times to Yin Zhonglin's coffin, then got up and inserted three sticks of incense into the incense burner.

The more Xiao Zheng looked at him, the more familiar he became. Seeing him turn away, he followed him unconsciously, and said: "The strong man stays behind. I don't know when your Excellency will learn from your grandfather. This king remembers that there are no students in the Yin family who joined the army."

The man's footsteps stopped, and he only lowered his head and said: "The private school that the villain attended when he was young was a free school donated by Mr. Yin, and he was fortunate to have heard him lecture on the Four Books there. This time, he was on a business trip and just returned to Beijing. , and came to worship on the way."

Xiao Zheng suddenly drew out his sword and raised his hand to attack, only to see the man dodge quickly, dodging everywhere, not losing the wind in the slightest.Among the princes, Xiao Qian's swordsmanship is outstanding, and Xiao Jie's riding and archery is very good.The sword skills of the remaining few people have their own merits, but they are all taught by famous masters, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary soldiers to dodge their sword moves easily.

"Stop, who the hell are you!"

"The villain is just a nobody, I hope the prince will be magnanimous and let me go."

"The king will return to Jiannan in a few days. Seeing that you have an extraordinary bearing, I want to keep you as a guard. Which general are you a soldier? I will go and talk to him myself. What do you think?"

"My lord loves me so much, the villain is dedicated to serving in the army, but I really have no intention of doing so."

"I don't know why, seeing you, this king feels close to you. Isn't it more enjoyable to be the guardian of my palace than to fight on the battlefield?"

"Everyone has his own aspirations, and I hope the prince will not force him."

"If you have won this king, I will let you go, otherwise you will never want to leave today."

"My lord, what is the meaning of this? The villain thinks he is not rude, and I hope you..."

"The faux pas is that you shouldn't have the exact same voice as that man!"

Seeing this, the guards had already stepped forward one after another, but they were shouted back by Xiao Zheng, so they had to watch from a distance.Xiao Zheng fought for his life with a saber, but seeing that man dodges freely and easily, he was furious.

The two fought inextricably, one attacked and the other defended, they fought endlessly.In the end, the man had no choice but to close his eyes and wait for death, allowing Xiao Zheng's sword to attack, if he hadn't kept his hand in time, he would have almost pierced his chest.Even so, it has penetrated more than half an inch into the right shoulder.

Xiao Zheng was shocked, and shouted: "Come here, you can announce the imperial physician to come." Everyone was stunned, hearing his anxiety, quickly took orders and left.

The man said: "The life of a villain is like a piece of grass, the prince will kill it if he wants to, and the humble body dare not bother the imperial doctor."

Xiao Zheng stepped forward to support his left arm, then went to the wing room, and said: "Shut up! This king won't allow you to die, so you can't die."

The Imperial Physician Suo Xingjing lived not far away, and was soon invited to diagnose the pulse, applied herbal medicine, and prescribed a prescription, and then resigned.After such a toss, the sky is already light.

Xiao Zheng hurriedly followed, and said to Imperial Physician Jing: "I hope you don't say anything about today's matter, especially not to be known by the palace. I heard that you have contacts with the King of Qin, please go find him yourself. Say I have something to do."

Physician Jing went to take the order, wondering what was the origin of that man just now, why King Jiannan was so nervous and wanted to find King Qin to come, could there be something involved?

Since Concubine Lan Gui hanged herself in the palace and Yin Zhonglin dismissed from office and stayed at home, Yin's mansion has become quite deserted, and now the rest are extremely trustworthy servants.Xiao Zheng brought all his confidants from Jiannan, so he was naturally not afraid of the news spreading, so he only ordered the house to be closed immediately, and he would not accept condolences for the time being.Fortunately, during this period of time, all the guests have come here, and there should be no one to visit.

Xiao Zheng walked into the wing room, saw the man standing up, and said, "You can't go now, why bother?"

The man said: "I heard that the prince has always been honest and wise in Jiannan area. Why is the villain forced to stay if he refuses to be a nursing home? What's the reason?"

Xiao Zheng sneered and said, "Since you asked the reason, I have something to ask Your Excellency to see what the reason is."

The man's face moved slightly, he didn't dare to look up at him, he just said: "My lord, it's okay to say."

Xiao Zheng drew out his sword, pointed at him and said: "People say that siblings fight each other, this is not uncommon in the emperor's family, but born from the same root, but rape and humiliate younger siblings, what do you think is the truth?"

The man sighed and said, "So you already know, then kill me."

Xiao Zheng was anxious, and asked: "Xiao Jie, tell me! Why is there a secret passage in my concubine's bedroom, which leads directly to your Huquan Palace. You... What is going on with you! Are you persecuting concubine mother or you... ..."

It turns out that the person with the scar on half of his face is Xiao Jie. He originally wanted to pay respects to Yin Zhonglin, but he didn't want to catch up with Xiao Zheng here and be discovered by him.

Xiao Jie said: "I do have an affair with Lan... the imperial concubine, but I have never done anything wrong with her. I didn't do that secret road intentionally, it was someone who suddenly got through here one day and scared me. I jumped. At that time, your wet nurse Mo Mama came out of that secret passage, and I was quite surprised. She only said that in Ningxin Palace, she occasionally saw the secret method of the Xiliang family's mechanism, and she wanted to try it. She begged hard , let me not say anything, otherwise everyone in Ningxin Palace will die, so I will keep my mouth shut.

Later, for some reason, the imperial concubine strayed into the secret passage and was shocked when she saw that I was taking a bath naked.She went back the same way, but after that... every time I saw her, my face would turn red, and then we would often talk in secret passages at night by candlelight, that's all.I do fall in love with her, but I don't dare to say it clearly, and the empress is just chatting to relieve her loneliness, not emotional.But one day, there was a sudden burst of thick smoke in the secret passage, and after I smelled it, I couldn't help it, and hugged her in my arms.After that, she never saw me again.Not long after, the seventh brother was seriously ill, so she just sent a letter to tell me about the egg of the divine bird.I don't know how she knew, I only believed it, so I went to Luyue Peak, I didn't want to meet an assassin and fall off the cliff, so I didn't dare to go back to the palace. "

Xiao Zheng said angrily: "Your words are full of flaws. How could my wet nurse dig some secret tunnel when she was doing well, and she still did it in the concubine's bedroom. How could concubine mother tolerate her like this, not to mention how can so much soil be transported out?"

Xiao Jie said: "I heard that at that time, Ningxin Palace was building four fishing platforms for you to fish. Maybe it was a secret road we built together at that time, so that no one would find out."

Xiao Zheng said again: "You put it lightly, but after the mother concubine hanged herself, I found a secret passage in her bedroom, it was like a lightning strike! No matter how I think about it, I can't believe it. Have you ever thought about doing such a shameless thing? What should I do with myself!"

Xiao Jie sighed: "You kill me! I am willing to die in your hands."
