Prince Jing's Mansion has been sealed off for thorough investigation, and no one else is allowed to enter.Zhuo Yun relied on his status as the prince and the Imperial Forest Army, guarding the guards to let them in, but they should not stay for too long.A clear-cut search was going on in the palace, and a lot of letters with important court officials, generals and soldiers were found, but the letters did not involve the slightest conspiracy. Wo Duan dragged it out to deal with it, but found that Prince Jing was not there.The palace was thoroughly cleared, but the military seal was not found.

The servants and servants of the palace were all detained in the south of the backyard, locked in the room and not allowed to go out.

Zhuo Yichen asked the gate guard, "Have you ever found a woman...or a man in the palace?"

The guard replied, "The Dongting area is where the servant girls live. Except there, there are no female relatives in the palace, and there are no servants."

Zhuo Yichen thought for a while and said, "Brother guard, would you please let us meet the young servant?"

The guard was a little hesitant and embarrassed, "You are not allowed to enter the place of detention easily. May I ask who ordered this young man to investigate? There is a handwritten order."

Zhuo Yichen didn't act according to the official duties, so naturally he didn't have these things. The Imperial Forest Army standing behind him said, "This is an order from His Royal Highness, do you still need to check the handbook and talisman order? Just let me in!"

The guard finally nodded when he heard the "Prince", put on a smiling face, brought Zhuo Yichen and his party to the house where the slaves were held, and bowed to greet him.

"Prince Jing has been arrested. The servants and slaves in the palace are very emotional and making troubles. Although everyone is tied up, I'm afraid there will be troubles. Please be careful, young master."

Zhuo Yichen pushed the door open and went in. The room was dark, and the guard immediately brought in a lamp, and with the moonlight and candlelight outside, he could finally see the scene clearly in the room.Most of the people detained here are young, and they look like ordinary servants in their clothes.Dozens of people were detained in one room, which was a bit crowded. They were standing, leaning against, or sitting on the ground, with heavy shackles on their hands and feet.As soon as Zhuo Yichen came in, he felt a conflicting hostility.Especially those people who stared coldly at everyone who came in.

Perhaps it was the intuition of a modern person, Zhuo Yichen was sure of it the first time he saw these servants.

He said to the guards and guards behind him, "You all go down, I'm fine here alone."

"The villain is worried that these disobedient people will hurt you, so let us follow."

"They are all handcuffed. They won't hurt anyone. If something really happens, I'll call you in again."

"This……"

Zhuo Yichen motioned to the Imperial Forest Army beside him, and the man immediately shouted: "If you are told to step back, you should step back, let's go! Wait outside the door!" The Imperial Forest Army left the lamp behind, picked up the two guards and dragged them away , and finally close the door gently.The room suddenly fell silent.

Probably seeing Zhuo Yichen's protection and innocence, the hostility of those people seemed to have eased a bit, but they were still cold and resistant.Zhuo Yichen didn't know where to start, he thought for a moment, and said, "Prince Jing didn't lead troops into chaos, he won't die, and you shouldn't be in danger of your lives."

No one answered.

"Everything in Prince Jing's mansion will be dealt with, what will you do then?"

Still ignored.Zhuo Yichen understood their defensiveness and resistance, so he didn't care about it, even if he was singing a one-man show, he still had to speak out.

"You will probably be escorted to Dali Temple. You will be interrogated first. After you are confirmed innocent, you will be dismissed. Do you plan to stay in the capital to find other jobs, or return to your hometown? I advise you to go back to your hometown. The capital has the right to There are too many powerful people, once..."

Now someone is finally willing to pay attention to him. Although his tone is not very friendly, the famous family member Ding asked coldly: "My hometown is in the frontier. It was razed to the ground by the Man Rong long ago. The people of the clan are almost extinct. How can we go back?"

Zhuo Yichen noticed the important information unintentionally revealed by the other party's words: the frontier, the tribe.He asked again, "Did King Jing bring you back from the frontier?"

One of the teenagers, who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, stood up tremblingly and asked eagerly, "My lord... When will he come back, my lord?"

Zhuo Yichen said: "He may not be able to come back to Prince Jing's Mansion, at least not in a short time. Haven't you seen the seals on all the doors of the Palace?"

Tears welled up in the boy's eyes immediately, and his small body kept trembling as if he couldn't bear it.Seeing this, the people next to him immediately pulled the young man behind him and reprimanded him, "What do you look like! Cry and cry in front of outsiders, don't embarrass the prince. If the prince doesn't come back, we will die here! So many clansmen have died before, Now, it’s not bad for a few of us!”

Zhuo Yichen waited quietly for the other party to finish speaking, and then slowly said, "Do you know why I came all the way here?"

No one answered, but many people's eyes had gathered.Zhuo Yichen continued, "Prince Jing asked me to cook a puffer fish. After treatment, it was obviously non-toxic, but later it became poisonous. It turned out that there was a highly poisonous fish wrapped in a non-toxic male nest." Brood." At this point, he stopped, observing his words carefully.The expressions of the people below became serious, and each of them frowned tightly, and someone stood up suddenly, and the shackles dragged and made a harsh sound, and asked sharply: "What do you mean by that!"

"I have absolutely no malice, otherwise I wouldn't let myself stay here alone." His tone was gentle, and he raised his head to meet the sharp gaze of the other party, "I just want to find out why? Did Prince Jing force you to take medicine... ..."

Hearing this, the other party glanced at him suspiciously, his solemn hostile face finally softened a little, and his voice slowly sank, "Yes...it was the prince who brought us back from the frontier, how could he force us to use medicine? .”

Having said that, Zhuo Yichen understood. He thought it was King Jing who abused poison in violation of ethics, but Prince Jing didn't.Probably these people are born that way.And they mentioned "clan people" before, Zhuo Yichen felt that they should be a special ethnic group different from ordinary people.

He asked again: "Your clansmen, how many of you are left now?"

They still looked at Zhuo Yichen vigilantly, Zhuo Yichen smiled faintly, but waited patiently without saying a word.After a long stalemate, the man finally nodded.

"But how did that kind of female... that kind of poisonous pufferfish grow out?"

The other party was silent again.Zhuo Yichen knew that they still had doubts about him, so he had to think carefully about every word he said.Therefore, he was not in a hurry, and only let the other party think about it slowly, and slowly relieved himself.

After a while, the other party said, "It's blood, feed it with blood..."

Hearing this, Zhuo Yichen frowned, "Prince Jing asked you to do such a thing?"

"It's not the lord," the man shook his head slowly, "The lord only found out about this later. At that time, the highly poisonous puffer fish had already been bred, and Yang Qi enshrined it to the lord. All he said was... the puffer fish with yang on the outside and yin on the inside. He is worshiped by the governor of the river."

"Wait, you just mentioned a person's name," Zhuo Yichen was startled, holding onto the familiar name tightly, "You said that person's name is Yang Qi?! He looks like a young man in his twenties?"

The other party nodded, "Yes..."

Zhuo Yichen's face suddenly became darker than before, and became more dignified and solemn.

"This Yang Qi is not from the Shao Mansion, and now it seems that he is not from King Jing, I'm afraid it's..."

Hearing his words, the other party was startled and suspicious, and immediately asked: "Could it be that the prince was murdered by Yang Qi?!"

"It wasn't murdered, it was completely used." Zhuo Yichen closed his eyes, and then turned to the person in front of him, "You are also being used."

He thought of the words "feed it with blood", and the image of a pool of blood appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt that it was very cruel.You know, although pufferfish are small in size, they are not like goldfish that can be kept in a small fish tank.It almost takes a pool of water to keep those freakish pufferfish!

Zhuo Yichen shook his head again and again, and asked in disbelief: "——how are you willing to use your own blood to...!"

The man was silent for a while, and slowly said: "Yang Qi said, the prince will need it in the future, and also brought the prince's oral order, then we must help."

Zhuo Yichen sighed, and was about to ask a few more questions.At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.Immediately afterwards, the voice of the guard guard came.

"Master, you can come out quickly! It's not good for a servant to stay in there for a long time!"

"I know, I'm going out now." He replied quickly, then knelt down again and turned to the man just now, and said neatly: "Remember, when you are detained in Dali Temple for trial, you must not mention this matter. There is no treason and no crime. Therefore, don't say that you are following Yang Qi's instructions, just pretend...just pretend that you don't know about it at all, and don't know this person!"

The man frowned, and looked at Zhuo Yichen quietly for a moment, but there was still hesitation in his eyes.In the end, he nodded, clasped his hands in shackles in front of his chest, "...yes."

Zhuo Yichen nodded and left immediately.

On the other hand, Zhuo Yun also carefully checked King Jing's correspondence, but did not find any letters that could be used as evidence of Zhuang's crime. After he stopped, he walked from the study all the way to the backyard guarded by the guards, and happened to meet his brother. Ask, "How?"

Zhuo Yichen had just understood what was going on, and all the emotions in his heart hadn't calmed down, and he didn't care about the guards around him.He interlocked Zhuo Yun's ten fingers with one hand, dragged him to the corner, and said eagerly, "Go to Shao Mansion to arrest him! That slave named Yang Qi, quickly arrest him!"

"How could people from the Shao Mansion be involved?"

"No, he is not from the Shao Mansion, nor from the Wang Mansion, he should be from the Zhuang Clan." Zhuo Yichen hurriedly told Zhuo Yun the truth that he had just learned.

Zhuo Yun snorted coldly, "Placing spies everywhere is really the usual trick of the Zhuang family."

Zhuo Yichen asked: "Then can you order these people sent by the emperor to arrest him?"

"The guards arrested people and sent them to Dali Temple for trial according to the rules, but there is no evidence that the real thing cannot be interrogated. What's more, Dali Temple has Zhuang Yan's disciples, so they will definitely not re-trial Yang Qi."

Zhuo Yichen frowned, "Could it be that we can only let them go?"

"People must be arrested!" Zhuo Yun narrowed his eyes, and his body exuded a bit of chill, "Damn it, such a use of kindness, his heart can be punished! He must be arrested in private and have a criminal trial."

With Zhuo Yun's words, Zhuo Yichen's heart suddenly relaxed, but the next moment he was a little worried, "All the servants of the palace are being tried in Dali Temple, will they be tortured?"

"No, torture is not allowed in Dali Temple. Only if you commit a serious crime and you are imprisoned in the clan's mansion or the emperor directly orders you to use torture to extract a confession." Zhuo Yun comforted, "Don't worry, I will send people up and down to deal with the trial. It's just a passing."

Zhuo Yichen breathed a sigh of relief, and finally relaxed his clenched hands. Only then did he realize that he and Zhuo Yun were interlocking fingers, and there were a group of guards standing in the courtyard.He quickly let go.

After Zhuo Yun was released by him, he put his arms around his waist from behind, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, so as not to lose the truth, we'd better leave quickly."

Getting on the chariot back to the palace again, Zhuo Yun hugged him in his arms, and wrapped Zhuo Yichen's robe tightly again and again to prevent him from catching cold again.Hugging so tightly, Zhuo Yun felt that his brother was thinner than before.He wasn't considered strong at first, but he managed to build up a stronger body and grow some round flesh, but now he was worn down again.

Zhuo Yun secretly decided that after returning to the palace, he must raise people to be mellow.He lowered his head, hugged the person in his arms tightly, and placed a light kiss on the black hair.
