Outside Jinshuimen in the west of the city, there is Tingfenglou, which is a tea house, beside Jinshui River.The storefront is three stories high. Although the exterior decoration is not as gorgeous as the shops in the inner city, it is still rather clumsy.

Because the store is spacious and the refreshments are good, merchants from all over the world are willing to stop here.The laborers who work by the Jinshui River are mostly reluctant to pay for tea, and like to gather at the small tea stalls nearby.

"Boss Chen, what's the matter, your little brother hasn't heard from him yet?" A bearded man sipped his tea and asked in a rough voice.

Chen Da frowned and shook his head, and said sullenly: "I have reported to Shuntian Mansion, but I don't know when there will be results."

"The yamen is used to teasing people, can you make a confession?"

Chen Da was a little embarrassed and said: "It's only a few pennies, where can I get it?"

The big man let out a heavy '嗐': "I didn't give the money to the superior, and still point to the yamen to do things?" He said, untied the money bag and stuffed it into Chen Da's hand: "I am a reckless man, with no worries and worries. It’s not much, but it’s enough to send a few yamen servants.”

Chen Damang shied away and went back: "Brother Mu, you can't help it. How can you use your money? It's because our brothers are incapable..."

"Okay, okay, don't refuse me. If you hadn't treated your lord's son all these years, with your own ability, you still wouldn't be able to make money? Go quickly, the sooner you find someone, the sooner you will find someone." Have some peace of mind."

Chen Da still didn't accept it. He said: "We gave this money, but if Huichuntang wants to suppress this matter, it will pay more money. We are soft-spoken, and we can't compete with them. I have my own decision on this matter. Brother Mu, don't worry."

Liu Mu then put away the purse and said: "It's good that you know what's in your heart, if you encounter difficulties, just come to me."

"Hey, thank you, brother."

On the third floor of Tingfeng Building, a young man in green robe stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his face covered with dust and exhaustion.

"You exposed."

Guard Gu Jin panicked and knelt down: "The villain dare not be careless, the supervisor of Nanfu is too difficult to deal with. There are nearly a hundred drugstores in Shengjing City, and countless medicines are sold every day. The villain is in each of the four cities. I have been very careful when buying medicines, I don’t want to be noticed by him.”

"What happened to the jar of wine?"

Gu Jin said: "On the night when the incident happened, the villain poured the wine into a pit in the back mountain of the Huguo Temple, smashed the wine jar and buried it, and no one will find out. Even if they have doubts, As long as the altar of wine cannot be found, there is no evidence to prove that we are suspected of killing the fourth prince. What's more, the fourth prince is already dead before the jar of wine is opened."

The young man in green robe frowned: "Who do you think did it?"

"I don't know, but Nanfu recently released news that Mei Yuchi, the master of Nanliang, admitted to assassinating the fourth prince, and said that Zhang Bing was responsible for the assassination. But at that time, Mei Yuchi was still on the stage, and the fourth prince was in the private room, with the curtain closed. He had no chance of doing the assassination."

"Nanliang's secret work? If he admits to this matter, wouldn't he put Nanliang and Beiyan on the opposite side! His brains will be kicked by a donkey!"

Gu Jin said: "Nanfu's methods have always made people fearful. This matter involves the son of the Marquis of the Daqi Township. They will spare no effort to excuse the third son of Wei. Although Mei Yuchi admits this matter, but Zhang Bing is dead. Relying on the testimony of Mei Yuchi alone may not convince the public. The master can do something about this matter."

The green-robed young man frowned a little, and said, "You just stay in the post these few days and don't contact me. By the way, have they discovered your identity?"

"Master, don't worry, this villain can still guarantee it."

"That's good. Although it's a bit troublesome, he's still dead after all. Without Wan Yanhong, let's see how the brother and sister are still making trouble!"

It was already evening when we returned to the post house, and Gu Fang Gu Lin was drinking in the hall.

"What did you do, come back so late?"

Gu Jin pulled the stool and sat down, and said loudly: "It's nothing serious, go out and inquire about the situation. I heard that the second prince's car has already arrived in Luocheng, and he can enter Beijing in five days at most."

Gu Lin snorted: "I'm afraid he couldn't wait to collect the body for our master."

Gu Fang glared at him: "Don't say a few words."

Gu Lin closed his mouth resentfully, and seemed to think of something again, and said, "I just went out to buy wine, and I heard that the Tongcha Office found physical evidence."

"Oh?"

Gu Lin looked around, and said in a low voice, "I heard it's a wine jar and a medicine."

Gu Jin panicked, and hurriedly said: "What wine jar? What medicine? Isn't this case closed?"

Gu Lin said: "Mr. Wei San stabbed our master to death under the watchful eyes of everyone. In the end, the case was closed and only a secret operation was released. This is to put my Beiyan's face under his feet. If there is no conclusive evidence, don't say we There are a few, even the second prince will never stop there."

"Do you know where they found the physical evidence?"

Gu Lin shook his head: "However, the supervisor of Nanfu went to the Huguo Temple area today, and must be near there. What's the matter?"

"No, it's nothing." Gu Jin took a sip of his wine, his heart already in a mess.

It was night, while the two of them were sound asleep, Gu Jin quietly got up and left the post house, and went straight to the back mountain of Huguo Temple.

When he found the earth pit where the wine jar was buried, he found that there was no trace of turning it over. He was suspicious, so he picked up the soil with his bare hands, and saw the fragments of the wine jar in it.Before he breathed out, Gu Jin's heart skipped a beat, and his clothes were soaked in cold sweat instantly, he had been tricked!

Before he could leave, he saw torches everywhere, and a group of black-clothed officers approached.

Zhan Yi raised his arms and walked forward with a smile, "Hey, isn't this the fourth prince's personal bodyguard? It's so late, why don't you come here to see the scenery?"

Gu Jinqiang calmed himself down: "Why, you can't go out for a walk if you don't sleep at night? There is no such thing as a curfew in Qi."

"Yes, of course." Zhan Yi looked around, and said nunuzui: "The scenery behind the Huguo Temple is very beautiful, and people often go there for sightseeing, but this place is remote and there are many lonely graves. Dare to come here casually. It’s dark at night, you come here for a walk, the taste is really unique.”

While speaking, the Nanfu officials dug out the broken wine jars, and dug up the withered grass and soil in the pit that had been poisoned by red radishes, and put them into a small cage.

Knowing that it was impossible to get back the evidence from Nan Fu, Gu Jin changed his mind. Wan Yanhong did not die from poisoning. Even if Nan Fu found this wine jar, he could not prove the cause of Wan Yanhong's death. Get away is.

But how could Zhan Yi give him this chance, he still had that smiling face, and said to Gu Jin with his hands crossed: "Gu guard, Nanfu suspects that you are related to a murder case, please come with us."

Gu Jin's complexion changed suddenly: "I am the bodyguard of Prince Beiyan, why should the government of Qi State arrest me?"

Zhan Yi pointed to the cage and said, "This is physical evidence. The spirits of Wuji winery, the ancient guards came to Meiyuan that day, didn't they still carry the wine jar, why did they forget it so quickly?"

"The Meiyuan case has been reported and closed. You should tell the second prince of our country about this matter. I am just a mere bodyguard, and I will not bother Nanfu."

"Who said it was the Meiyuan case?" Zhan Yi raised his brows and said with a smile, "I'm talking about the Dong Yu case."

"Dong Yu?" Gu Jin was a little confused.

Zhan Yi suddenly changed his face, and ordered sharply: "Take it away!"

Beiyan people are good at martial arts, the three guards are not low in martial arts, Gu Jin's external skills are fierce, but Zhan Yi's sudden appearance has already made him flustered, and the Nanfu locks the criminal's chain formation to attack and defend tightly, Gu Jin was defeated in just a few moves Come on.

Zhan Yi yawned and said, "I can finally go back to sleep..."

Wei Yuan's poison was cured, but his body still hasn't recovered, and he looks dispirited and listless these days.Everyone in the Wei Mansion kept silent about Wei Yuan's poisoning.Those who don't know will only think that Young Master Sun of the Wei Mansion is suddenly ill.

Emperor Yuan Li Huai also knew about this, and sent an imperial physician there, but the reply he received was that the child ate indiscriminately and suffered from food poisoning, but there is no serious problem now.

As for the sachet, when Li Huai returned to Xuanming Hall the next day, he found that the sachet was missing. He panicked and asked Gao Hai to look for it.Before he walked out of the Xuanming Hall, an inner eunuch presented a sachet, which he found on a path in the Peony Garden.The inner eunuch didn't know who was wearing it, but he saw that the workmanship was good, so it must belong to some noble person, so he hurriedly handed it in.

Gao Hai smiled and handed over the sachet: "I think it was scraped off by a flower branch when passing by the peony garden."

Li Huai took the sachet, saw that it was intact, and the familiar orchid fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, he smiled and said: "I'm afraid that if I leave this sachet, I won't be able to sleep at night again."

That night, when Li Huai visited Yongning Palace again, Wei Shuning showed surprise and a bit of surprise just right, which made Li Huai completely relieved.

"I thought you were going to Qionghua Palace, but I heard that Concubine Feng Guifei is not in good health."

Li Huai said: "Are you willing to push me to another palace?"

Wei Shuning smiled faintly: "By the way, your majesty, grandma's birthday is approaching. In the past, the courtiers and concubines would go to Huguo Temple to pray for grandma in person. This year, something happened at home. It was Ah Zhao first, and now Yuan'er is sick again. , the concubine is really worried..."

Li Huai patted his forehead and sighed: "Look, I've been so busy with this year's exam reform that I almost forgot about the old lady's birthday. Shuning is filial, as usual, this year is still the same. It's just a few days to the north The envoys from Yan came to Beijing to negotiate about Ah Zhao's affairs. In my opinion, it's better to wait for this matter to be resolved before Shuning go to Huguo Temple, it's safer."

"Isn't the case closed?"

"The case is closed, but the result may not satisfy Bei Yan. In short, be careful. You are the Queen of Qi. If something goes wrong outside the palace, Zhen Guohou will not demolish my palace."

"Father can't be that rude."

Li Huai raised his eyebrows: "He is really daring!"

Wei Zhao coaxed Wei Yuan to play for a long time, and chatted with Wei Xuan for a while, but it was already late when he came out.He wandered around the mansion alone for a while, roughed up the medicinal materials he had memorized during the day, and felt that he had memorized them, before walking towards his yard.

When passing by the main courtyard, seeing the lights in Weiru's study room were on, and his tall figure cast on the window, it made people feel hot.It seemed that no matter what happened, as long as there was that figure, the siblings could safely lie under their father's wings like cubs.

The door of the study was open, Wei Zhao poked his head to look in, and suddenly found that his father's temples had turned gray at some point.The candlelight was soft, but father's brows were tightly knit.

In Wei Zhao's memory, whenever he saw his father, he always had a smile on his face.The decisive general who kills on the battlefield, the dreaded Marquis of the Kingdom in the court, is completely gentle in front of his children.

"father!"

Wei Ru's tightly furrowed brows melted instantly after hearing the call, and the solemn expression between his brows faded away like a tide. He smiled and waved: "Zhaoer."

"Is Dad busy?"

"It's not a big deal." He put down his pen, moved his stiff neck, saw that it was already dark outside, and said, "Did you come to see Dad?"

"I can't see you if I have nothing to do."

Wei Ru looked at him suspiciously: "Your boy has been like a monkey since he was a child, that's all right, don't make circles with your father, just talk about it."

Wei Zhao looked wronged: "I really just stopped by to see my father."

Wei Ru still didn't believe it, but he didn't care about it: "I heard Huo Bao'er said that you have been reading all the time recently, and when you became fascinated by it, you didn't even eat?"

"Hey, my eldest grandson and I asked for a copy of the "Medicine Classic" to take a look."

"You and Changsun Ke walked a little closer. Zhaoer, people in Nanfu don't provoke them. They are used to walking in the dark, and they are all ruthless..."

"Father, I'm not a child anymore. I understand how small others are. However, I really have something to talk to my father about."

Wei Ru suppressed his nose and looked disgusted: "Didn't you say it's okay!"

Wei Zhao scratched his head and smiled: "I suddenly remembered it."
