After getting married with the irritable little prince
Chapter 32 The Truth about the Disappearance
Meng Lao's Art of War, which has been handed down, has been sorted out by others, and it is only half a book.
But those who are close to Meng Lao know that Meng Lao wrote a thick book on his own military art experience, put it at home, and no one is allowed to read it.
Xue Zhenqi's master had seen it, but it took only half a day.Because of the teacher's order, you can't write it on paper silently, so you can only say it to your son.
His son told Xue Zhenqi again.
In this way, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and a lot of content has been lost.
But Xue Zhenqi always firmly remembered that Mr. Meng had such a military book.If the book of war was not destroyed in that disaster, it was taken away by someone.
Tang Yueshan is a frequent visitor to the Meng family, and he is most likely to take this book of war.
Even if they didn't take it away, they must have read it, and Tang Yueshan's descendants must remember the contents of the book.
It doesn't matter how much you remember, it will be of great help to the little prince if you gather together with what he knows and can repair a little.
What Xue Zhenqi didn't know was that outsiders couldn't see Lao Meng's art of war, and his disciples could read it for half a day, but his own son and daughter could read it however they wanted.
Jin Rui remembers that his mother taught him the art of war, but now he has lost a lot of memory, and he can't even remember the art of war that his mother taught him.
He asked Xue Zhenqi to go out and call the little prince back, and lay on the bed trying to think back.
He wanted to help the little prince to write the book of soldiers, which could be regarded as a compensation for the little prince.
Manager Zhang came in and replied: "You asked Mr. Xue to invite the prince back. Coincidentally, when the prince was about to come back, there was an urgent report at the border, so the prince had to deal with it first."
Jin Rui nodded, but before he could speak, Xue Zhenqi came in, "You're just in charge, and you can talk nonsense when you open your mouth! The prince is obviously angry and doesn't want to see Da Yuanbao!"
"No, you don't want to see me?" Jin Rui's heart tightened all of a sudden.
He put on his clothes and was about to get out of bed, but steward Zhang hurriedly stopped him.
"Where is the prince angry with the princess? It is indeed because some guards said that someone had entered Tang Ping's room. The prince went to investigate, and he was really not angry with the princess."
Xue Zhenqi frowned, "The lord is just angry. I heard him say, 'Add more Coptis chinensis to his bowl, the more bitter the better, it's also okay to just boil a pot of Coptis chinensis water, so that he can remember it'. Are you not angry? "
Jin Rui: "???"
"Oh, my old Xue, don't talk about it." Manager Zhang stomped his feet anxiously.
Anyone in the palace who can speak up in front of the concubine does not know what the little prince is thinking, even if he doesn't try his best to match him up, he will not mention the little prince's fault in front of the concubine.
However, Mr. Xue is old and can't turn his mind around. He always has no intention of provoking the relationship between the prince and the princess. The angry little prince patted the bed in the middle of the night, but he couldn't get angry.
Jin Rui's eyes were wrong when he looked at the medicine bowl again, "Order me down, don't bring me a second bowl, I won't drink it!"
It's fine to trick him into drinking bitter medicine, but trick him into drinking pot after pot!
Deceiving too much!
Manager Zhang didn't dare to force Jin Rui, so he could only report back to the young prince. Before he left, he had better say that he took Xue Zhenqi out, otherwise nothing would happen in a while.
When there was no one in the room, Jin Rui got up from the bed, sat in front of the long desk, spread the paper and rubbed the ink, picked up the pen, but didn't know what to write.
It seems that I forgot everything.
While taking a nap, Sui'er lit the incense again, but Jin Rui refused to sleep, so she asked her to change to the soothing incense.
Sui'er persuaded him for a long time, but Jin Rui didn't intend to compromise.Sui'er had no choice but to take Anshenxiang away.
Jin Rui thought hard for half a day before the case, and Baixi came over with a post, "Princess, Zheng Chenxiang is asking to see you."
"He hasn't been caught yet?"
There was a murder case and he was still able to walk around outside. Jin Rui knew without thinking that he must be borrowing the power of his concubine Jiangbei to scare the officials from arresting her.
"In addition to Zheng Chenxiang, the eldest son is also here, see you?"
Jin Rui thought for a while, "See you."
Zheng Chenxiang and Jin Yi were brought to the flower hall outside, and when they arrived, Jin Rui put down his pen and came out of the room.
"Cousin..." Zheng Chenxiang came over to greet Jin Rui with a smile, but when he approached Jin Rui, his expression suddenly changed, "Cousin, what is this smell on you? Come closer, let me smell it."
Jin Rui didn't like to get too close to people, and was refusing, when Sui'er passed him while serving tea, her hands and feet were unsteady, and a cup of tea was poured on him.
"Slaves deserve to die." Sui'er knelt down on the ground in fright.
Jin Rui pulled her up: "The tea isn't hot, but it's just dirty all over the clothes. You wash the left and right sides, why are you so scared?"
Ping'er, who was serving tea with Sui'er, also explained: "Last night you fell into the water and fell asleep. Sister Sui'er watched over you all night without closing your eyes, that's why you lost your mind."
Jin Rui said "hard work" to her.
"Princess, please let the servant help you change your clothes."
The clothes are wet, it is really not good to see guests.Jin Rui and Sui'er went back to the back room to change their clothes.
Ping'er served tea to Zheng Chenxiang and the others, and waited outside the door.Zheng Chenxiang saw how far the people were standing, and pulled Jin Yi over and whispered, "I smell something wrong with the princess, it's very similar to the fragrance I was involved in the murder case."
Jin Yi didn't take it seriously, "How is it possible, this is the palace, my third brother is the princess, under one person, above ten thousand people, how could such hurtful things come to him?"
"There will be fewer intrigues in the mansion?" Zheng Chenxiang said, "I heard that His Majesty bestowed two beauties on the prince. Will they try to harm the princess in order to compete for favor?"
Jin Yi didn't believe it even more, "No."
"Why not?"
Jin Yi glanced outside the door, and his voice was so low that it couldn't be lowered, "Our prince can't do it, you say his wives and concubines, what else is there to fight for favor?"
Zheng Chenxiang thinks about it too, but he trusts his nose more.After Jin Rui changed his clothes and came back, after they exchanged a few polite words, he pretended to mention inadvertently, "Cousin, I have an unkind request. I make incense, and I want to see other people's incense wherever I go. How about it? The incense used by the Jiangbei Palace must be the best incense in the Jiangbei area, so I dare to take a look at the incense used by you and the prince."
this is nothing.Jin Rui called Sui'er to fetch the tranquilizing incense that he usually used.
"The little prince and I are not particular about people, and we rarely use incense. Only occasionally I use soothing incense to help me sleep."
Sui'er fetched the incense burner and put it in front of Zheng Chenxiang.Zheng Chenxiang sniffed his nose twice, his eyelids twitched suddenly, he turned his back, pretended to sneezed twice, then turned around and came back, still smiling, "It really smells good, if my cousin uses it every day, he must sleep well at night fragrant."
Jin Rui shook his head: "I don't think it's useful."
Still not sleeping well.
Zheng Chenxiang didn't say anything, but kept trying to invite Jin Rui to attend the lotus banquet the day after tomorrow.
"My lord doesn't let go, I can't go out."
"Princess, don't worry, you will definitely come to participate." Full of confidence, Zheng Chenxiang and Jin Yi retired together.
The two came out of the palace and got into the carriage. Jin Yi asked him, "How can you be sure that my third brother will definitely attend your lotus feast?"
Zheng Chenxiang said: "Because I discovered a big secret of the palace."
"What secret?"
"It's a very important matter, so I can't tell you. If this matter is done well, it will not only save my life, but also keep me rich for the rest of my life. If it is not done well, my little life will definitely be lost." Zheng Chenxiang held the He waved his fan very smartly, as if he had a proud gesture of winning, "Go, go find your father, and write a letter to the little prince."
After seeing Zheng Chenxiang, Jin Rui went back to the long case and thought hard for a long time, but still couldn't remember a single word.
Sui'er came in to deliver the medicine, saw him yawning, and said distressedly, "If you don't go to rest, your body will be damaged, won't it kill us?"
"It's getting dark, why hasn't the prince come back?"
"I heard that the prince has just left the mansion in a hurry. If you want to know the whereabouts of the prince, this servant will go and ask."
"No need." Jin Rui took the medicine with a sleepy look, and took a spoon to cool it down.
"My lord has just gone out, and I'm sure I won't be back in a short time. After you have dinner, go to bed first. When your lord comes back, you should have the energy to talk to him."
Jin Rui had been exhausted for a long time, so he nodded in response.He took a small pot of medicine, so he proposed to go to bed first, and eat together when the prince came back.
As soon as he lay down, Sui'er came in with the incense burner and put it on the bedside.
In the past, the incense burner was placed next to the mahogany hanger, a few steps away from the bed, but this time Sui Er put the incense burner on the low stool beside the bed.
"It's windy outside, I'm afraid it's going to rain." While talking, Sui'er closed all the windows in the house.
Jin Rui fell asleep very fast, Sui Er's voice just fell, before he could say "Don't let the prince get caught in the rain", he fell into a deep sleep.
But still no sweet dreams.
In the dream, he followed Tang Ping, carefully avoiding the guards, and quietly entered Tang Ping's room, joking and stabbing him while Tang Ping was off his guard, and tied him up with ropes.
He pressed Tang Ping to tell the truth about the murder of the Meng family. At first Tang Ping insisted that he didn't know anything, but later he fell into his verbal trap and leaked his words, and then spit out what he knew.
It turned out that the Meng family was wiped out because Tang Yueshan drugged the culprits and opened the back door, which made the Meng family disappear without a sound.
Jin Rui's mother and uncle went to the Tang family to ask for help, and Tang Yueshan immediately informed the thieves that the two siblings were still alive, causing them to become slaves.
Tang Ping didn't know who the thief's master was.After the Meng family was wiped out, Tang Yueshan was also quickly wiped out.
Tang Ping's father knew that he would not live long, so he told Tang Ping about the matter, and took Tang Ping, who was still very young at the time, to Jiangbei to avoid hunting.
It was just that they didn’t escape in the end, and all the men and women of the Tang family over the age of 15 were killed.
Because Tang Ping was young at the time, he escaped a catastrophe.
"My father hates thieves without faith, but he doesn't know who the master of the thieves is. He can only stab me on the back with everything he knows. In addition, there is another one that he has seen clearly. Killer of faces."
Jin Rui walked to the back and held up a lamp to illuminate Tang Ping's back.
The words and portraits on the back suddenly fell into a dream. Unable to bear the pain, Jin Rui woke up from the dream, let out a low growl, and sat up suddenly.
He remembered why he cut off Tang Ping's human skin, and also clearly remembered the contents of the human skin.
The portraits painted on the human skin are very familiar to him.
It was a steward of the palace, named Hao Xiang, who only showed his prominence in the past two years and became a steward.
He didn't manage the inner house like Zhang Guanshi, but bought and repaired houses for the soldiers for the prince, so in just two years, he got along well with the soldiers.
When Jin Rui punished his subordinates, he called Hao Xiang to talk.Although Hao Xiang's demeanor has changed drastically now, Jin Rui recognized him at a glance.
Hao Xiang was the killer who killed the Tang family, so he must be with the people who killed the entire Meng family.
Cigarettes curled up beside the bed, and the room was filled with a sweet and greasy fragrance, which made people breathless.
Jin Rui gasped for breath, but there was no clarity in his brows.He took out a hair-cutting dagger from under the pillow, put on his shoes and got out of bed.
Sui'er and the others were guarding the door of the outer room, and Jin Rui gently opened the northernmost window and jumped out.
He avoided the guards all the way to Xue Zhenqi's courtyard.The gate of the palace was closed and the walls were so high that he couldn't get out at all, but Xue Zhenqi's small courtyard had a small door that was only open to the outside world.
Jin Rui went out through the small gate, and when he came back, he saw Xue Zhenqi sitting in the courtyard.
"Da Yuanbao, you told the old man that you want to redeem your crimes, so you need to investigate Tang Ping's case. You didn't tell the old man that after you find the human skin, you will not hand it over to the prince, and hide it yourself first!"
Jin Rui's body was hidden in the night, his voice was as cold as ice, "How do you know?"
"Do you think the old man has lived such an old age, and he is allowed to be fooled by you?"
"Have you read the contents on the human skin?"
"Look." Xue Zhenqi said, "What is written on the human skin seems to have something to do with the destruction of my sect. Since it is my sect's business, you should not interfere. If you want to atone for your sins, there are plenty of opportunities."
Jin Rui said softly, "There is no chance."
He took a step forward, revealing half of his body from the darkness. Only then did Xue Zhenqi see that his arms were covered in blood and he was holding a dagger in his hand.
"What did you do?" Xue Zhenqi's face changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly, "Da Yuanbao, what did you do?"
Jin Rui didn't speak.
Xue Zhenqi tentatively asked: "You will not do anything to Hao Xiang, right?" He knew that the person on the human skin was Hao Xiang.
"I killed him."
"Kill him?" Xue Zhenqi said in surprise, "Why did you kill him?"
Jin Rui only felt that his head was pierced by something. He dropped the dagger in pain and put his head in his hands. "He has my family's blood on his hands. I will kill him, kill him!"
"Shut up!" Xue Zhenqi stepped forward to cover his mouth and dragged him into the room.With the help of the oil lamp, Xue Zhenqi looked at his expression carefully, frowning, "What's wrong with you? You look very strange."
Jin Rui held his head and didn't say a word.
"How can you kill people? And do you know how good Hao Xiang's relationship with the soldiers is? If you kill him, if the prince doesn't punish you, the soldiers will definitely feel chilled. Aren't you giving the prince a problem?"
Jin Rui suddenly raised his head, "You're right, I can't make things difficult for him. No one can find out, I killed Hao Xiang."
Xue Zhenqi looked at him steadfastly, "How could you kill Hao Xiang with such a body?"
Before Jin Rui could answer, Xue Zhenqi laughed at himself again, "Why am I asking you so much? With your intelligence, even if you can't even get out of bed, killing someone without a trace is not difficult for you."
Xue Zhenqi suddenly thought of something, and backed away in shock, "Did you kill Tang Ping too?"
The oil lamp on the table exploded suddenly, and Jin Rui sneered amidst the sound of "Bibipapao".
"it's me."
"You're crazy!" Xue Zhenqi said, "Aren't you afraid that the prince will know?"
Jin Rui was silent for a moment, "I'm afraid. I'm afraid that he will be disappointed with me, and I'm even more afraid that he will be in a dilemma because of me. So I have to leave, I have to leave, only if I leave, will I not hurt him."
"Da, Da Yuanbao, that's why you left suddenly all those years ago?"
"I don't know what I thought back then. I only know that I have to leave now. I killed the prince's subordinates, and I am a sinner."
Although these people have blood feuds with him, to the little prince, these people are loyal subordinates.
"You can't go. Whether you are guilty or not, the prince has the final say."
Xue Zhenqi stretched out his hand to pull Jinrui, when someone came from outside to send a message.
"Old Xue, Tang Ping's case has changed."
Xue Zhenqi and Jin Rui looked at each other, "Speak."
"A guard insisted that he saw someone entering Tang Ping's room. Although he didn't catch anyone, he saw that a floor tile in front of the bed was warped. When he went back to look again, the floor tile was flat. The prince ordered He checked carefully, and found a hidden compartment."
Jin Rui's heart suddenly lifted.
"He found a lot of valuable calligraphy and paintings in the secret cell, all of which were lost by the prince. There are also some of his letters, which turned out to be that he took the poor and powerful prisoners in the prison and beheaded them instead of the death row, so as to make money. He killed 23 people and made a full 3 taels of silver!"
Xue Zhenqi was both angry and happy.
He was angry that he didn't know people clearly, but he was happy that Jin Rui no longer had to worry and feel guilty about killing Tang Ping.
For Tang Ping's many crimes, Ling Chi's execution is considered light.
Xue Zhenqi said softly to Jin Rui: "The matter of Tang Ping is over. If you repent in front of the prince, maybe the prince will not only not deal with you, but also forgive your sins, save you from being a princess, and let you go." Come back and be a soldier."
"But I also killed Hao Xiang."
As soon as the words were finished, Lu Ke suddenly barged in, "Old Xue, the prince is not here, please follow me quickly."
When he came in and saw Jin Rui was there, he was overjoyed, "It would be even better if the concubine is here, give me some advice, I have encountered a big problem."
"What can make you so flustered?"
"You don't know, just now, someone discovered that Hao Xiang was killed."
Xue Zhenqi glanced at Jin Rui, "So, how do you plan to catch the murderer?"
"After we found Hao Xiang's body, he was still hot. Thinking that the murderer hadn't gone far, we immediately searched his residence. This investigation found a lot of things!"
"Don't give a shit, just say it."
"He hid a lot of explosives at home, and that amount might blow up half the city!"
Both Xue Zhenqi and Jin Rui were taken aback.Hao Xiang must have no good intentions for hiding so many explosives.
Hao Xiang's residence is surrounded by the homes of the young prince's most powerful soldiers, if the explosives are detonated, wouldn't it want to blow up the young prince's confidantes?
Thinking of this, Xue Zhenqi broke out in cold sweat. He grabbed Jin Rui's hand and said excitedly: "Good job! You are not a sinner, you are the lucky star of the little prince!"
The author has something to say: Happy weekend, thank you for your support.
But those who are close to Meng Lao know that Meng Lao wrote a thick book on his own military art experience, put it at home, and no one is allowed to read it.
Xue Zhenqi's master had seen it, but it took only half a day.Because of the teacher's order, you can't write it on paper silently, so you can only say it to your son.
His son told Xue Zhenqi again.
In this way, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and a lot of content has been lost.
But Xue Zhenqi always firmly remembered that Mr. Meng had such a military book.If the book of war was not destroyed in that disaster, it was taken away by someone.
Tang Yueshan is a frequent visitor to the Meng family, and he is most likely to take this book of war.
Even if they didn't take it away, they must have read it, and Tang Yueshan's descendants must remember the contents of the book.
It doesn't matter how much you remember, it will be of great help to the little prince if you gather together with what he knows and can repair a little.
What Xue Zhenqi didn't know was that outsiders couldn't see Lao Meng's art of war, and his disciples could read it for half a day, but his own son and daughter could read it however they wanted.
Jin Rui remembers that his mother taught him the art of war, but now he has lost a lot of memory, and he can't even remember the art of war that his mother taught him.
He asked Xue Zhenqi to go out and call the little prince back, and lay on the bed trying to think back.
He wanted to help the little prince to write the book of soldiers, which could be regarded as a compensation for the little prince.
Manager Zhang came in and replied: "You asked Mr. Xue to invite the prince back. Coincidentally, when the prince was about to come back, there was an urgent report at the border, so the prince had to deal with it first."
Jin Rui nodded, but before he could speak, Xue Zhenqi came in, "You're just in charge, and you can talk nonsense when you open your mouth! The prince is obviously angry and doesn't want to see Da Yuanbao!"
"No, you don't want to see me?" Jin Rui's heart tightened all of a sudden.
He put on his clothes and was about to get out of bed, but steward Zhang hurriedly stopped him.
"Where is the prince angry with the princess? It is indeed because some guards said that someone had entered Tang Ping's room. The prince went to investigate, and he was really not angry with the princess."
Xue Zhenqi frowned, "The lord is just angry. I heard him say, 'Add more Coptis chinensis to his bowl, the more bitter the better, it's also okay to just boil a pot of Coptis chinensis water, so that he can remember it'. Are you not angry? "
Jin Rui: "???"
"Oh, my old Xue, don't talk about it." Manager Zhang stomped his feet anxiously.
Anyone in the palace who can speak up in front of the concubine does not know what the little prince is thinking, even if he doesn't try his best to match him up, he will not mention the little prince's fault in front of the concubine.
However, Mr. Xue is old and can't turn his mind around. He always has no intention of provoking the relationship between the prince and the princess. The angry little prince patted the bed in the middle of the night, but he couldn't get angry.
Jin Rui's eyes were wrong when he looked at the medicine bowl again, "Order me down, don't bring me a second bowl, I won't drink it!"
It's fine to trick him into drinking bitter medicine, but trick him into drinking pot after pot!
Deceiving too much!
Manager Zhang didn't dare to force Jin Rui, so he could only report back to the young prince. Before he left, he had better say that he took Xue Zhenqi out, otherwise nothing would happen in a while.
When there was no one in the room, Jin Rui got up from the bed, sat in front of the long desk, spread the paper and rubbed the ink, picked up the pen, but didn't know what to write.
It seems that I forgot everything.
While taking a nap, Sui'er lit the incense again, but Jin Rui refused to sleep, so she asked her to change to the soothing incense.
Sui'er persuaded him for a long time, but Jin Rui didn't intend to compromise.Sui'er had no choice but to take Anshenxiang away.
Jin Rui thought hard for half a day before the case, and Baixi came over with a post, "Princess, Zheng Chenxiang is asking to see you."
"He hasn't been caught yet?"
There was a murder case and he was still able to walk around outside. Jin Rui knew without thinking that he must be borrowing the power of his concubine Jiangbei to scare the officials from arresting her.
"In addition to Zheng Chenxiang, the eldest son is also here, see you?"
Jin Rui thought for a while, "See you."
Zheng Chenxiang and Jin Yi were brought to the flower hall outside, and when they arrived, Jin Rui put down his pen and came out of the room.
"Cousin..." Zheng Chenxiang came over to greet Jin Rui with a smile, but when he approached Jin Rui, his expression suddenly changed, "Cousin, what is this smell on you? Come closer, let me smell it."
Jin Rui didn't like to get too close to people, and was refusing, when Sui'er passed him while serving tea, her hands and feet were unsteady, and a cup of tea was poured on him.
"Slaves deserve to die." Sui'er knelt down on the ground in fright.
Jin Rui pulled her up: "The tea isn't hot, but it's just dirty all over the clothes. You wash the left and right sides, why are you so scared?"
Ping'er, who was serving tea with Sui'er, also explained: "Last night you fell into the water and fell asleep. Sister Sui'er watched over you all night without closing your eyes, that's why you lost your mind."
Jin Rui said "hard work" to her.
"Princess, please let the servant help you change your clothes."
The clothes are wet, it is really not good to see guests.Jin Rui and Sui'er went back to the back room to change their clothes.
Ping'er served tea to Zheng Chenxiang and the others, and waited outside the door.Zheng Chenxiang saw how far the people were standing, and pulled Jin Yi over and whispered, "I smell something wrong with the princess, it's very similar to the fragrance I was involved in the murder case."

Jin Yi didn't believe it even more, "No."
"Why not?"
Jin Yi glanced outside the door, and his voice was so low that it couldn't be lowered, "Our prince can't do it, you say his wives and concubines, what else is there to fight for favor?"
Zheng Chenxiang thinks about it too, but he trusts his nose more.After Jin Rui changed his clothes and came back, after they exchanged a few polite words, he pretended to mention inadvertently, "Cousin, I have an unkind request. I make incense, and I want to see other people's incense wherever I go. How about it? The incense used by the Jiangbei Palace must be the best incense in the Jiangbei area, so I dare to take a look at the incense used by you and the prince."
this is nothing.Jin Rui called Sui'er to fetch the tranquilizing incense that he usually used.

Sui'er fetched the incense burner and put it in front of Zheng Chenxiang.Zheng Chenxiang sniffed his nose twice, his eyelids twitched suddenly, he turned his back, pretended to sneezed twice, then turned around and came back, still smiling, "It really smells good, if my cousin uses it every day, he must sleep well at night fragrant."
Jin Rui shook his head: "I don't think it's useful."
Still not sleeping well.
Zheng Chenxiang didn't say anything, but kept trying to invite Jin Rui to attend the lotus banquet the day after tomorrow.
"My lord doesn't let go, I can't go out."
"Princess, don't worry, you will definitely come to participate." Full of confidence, Zheng Chenxiang and Jin Yi retired together.
The two came out of the palace and got into the carriage. Jin Yi asked him, "How can you be sure that my third brother will definitely attend your lotus feast?"
Zheng Chenxiang said: "Because I discovered a big secret of the palace."
"What secret?"
"It's a very important matter, so I can't tell you. If this matter is done well, it will not only save my life, but also keep me rich for the rest of my life. If it is not done well, my little life will definitely be lost." Zheng Chenxiang held the He waved his fan very smartly, as if he had a proud gesture of winning, "Go, go find your father, and write a letter to the little prince."
After seeing Zheng Chenxiang, Jin Rui went back to the long case and thought hard for a long time, but still couldn't remember a single word.
Sui'er came in to deliver the medicine, saw him yawning, and said distressedly, "If you don't go to rest, your body will be damaged, won't it kill us?"
"It's getting dark, why hasn't the prince come back?"
"I heard that the prince has just left the mansion in a hurry. If you want to know the whereabouts of the prince, this servant will go and ask."
"No need." Jin Rui took the medicine with a sleepy look, and took a spoon to cool it down.
"My lord has just gone out, and I'm sure I won't be back in a short time. After you have dinner, go to bed first. When your lord comes back, you should have the energy to talk to him."
Jin Rui had been exhausted for a long time, so he nodded in response.He took a small pot of medicine, so he proposed to go to bed first, and eat together when the prince came back.
As soon as he lay down, Sui'er came in with the incense burner and put it on the bedside.
In the past, the incense burner was placed next to the mahogany hanger, a few steps away from the bed, but this time Sui Er put the incense burner on the low stool beside the bed.
"It's windy outside, I'm afraid it's going to rain." While talking, Sui'er closed all the windows in the house.
Jin Rui fell asleep very fast, Sui Er's voice just fell, before he could say "Don't let the prince get caught in the rain", he fell into a deep sleep.
But still no sweet dreams.
In the dream, he followed Tang Ping, carefully avoiding the guards, and quietly entered Tang Ping's room, joking and stabbing him while Tang Ping was off his guard, and tied him up with ropes.
He pressed Tang Ping to tell the truth about the murder of the Meng family. At first Tang Ping insisted that he didn't know anything, but later he fell into his verbal trap and leaked his words, and then spit out what he knew.
It turned out that the Meng family was wiped out because Tang Yueshan drugged the culprits and opened the back door, which made the Meng family disappear without a sound.
Jin Rui's mother and uncle went to the Tang family to ask for help, and Tang Yueshan immediately informed the thieves that the two siblings were still alive, causing them to become slaves.
Tang Ping didn't know who the thief's master was.After the Meng family was wiped out, Tang Yueshan was also quickly wiped out.
Tang Ping's father knew that he would not live long, so he told Tang Ping about the matter, and took Tang Ping, who was still very young at the time, to Jiangbei to avoid hunting.
It was just that they didn’t escape in the end, and all the men and women of the Tang family over the age of 15 were killed.
Because Tang Ping was young at the time, he escaped a catastrophe.
"My father hates thieves without faith, but he doesn't know who the master of the thieves is. He can only stab me on the back with everything he knows. In addition, there is another one that he has seen clearly. Killer of faces."
Jin Rui walked to the back and held up a lamp to illuminate Tang Ping's back.
The words and portraits on the back suddenly fell into a dream. Unable to bear the pain, Jin Rui woke up from the dream, let out a low growl, and sat up suddenly.
He remembered why he cut off Tang Ping's human skin, and also clearly remembered the contents of the human skin.
The portraits painted on the human skin are very familiar to him.
It was a steward of the palace, named Hao Xiang, who only showed his prominence in the past two years and became a steward.
He didn't manage the inner house like Zhang Guanshi, but bought and repaired houses for the soldiers for the prince, so in just two years, he got along well with the soldiers.
When Jin Rui punished his subordinates, he called Hao Xiang to talk.Although Hao Xiang's demeanor has changed drastically now, Jin Rui recognized him at a glance.
Hao Xiang was the killer who killed the Tang family, so he must be with the people who killed the entire Meng family.
Cigarettes curled up beside the bed, and the room was filled with a sweet and greasy fragrance, which made people breathless.
Jin Rui gasped for breath, but there was no clarity in his brows.He took out a hair-cutting dagger from under the pillow, put on his shoes and got out of bed.
Sui'er and the others were guarding the door of the outer room, and Jin Rui gently opened the northernmost window and jumped out.
He avoided the guards all the way to Xue Zhenqi's courtyard.The gate of the palace was closed and the walls were so high that he couldn't get out at all, but Xue Zhenqi's small courtyard had a small door that was only open to the outside world.
Jin Rui went out through the small gate, and when he came back, he saw Xue Zhenqi sitting in the courtyard.
"Da Yuanbao, you told the old man that you want to redeem your crimes, so you need to investigate Tang Ping's case. You didn't tell the old man that after you find the human skin, you will not hand it over to the prince, and hide it yourself first!"
Jin Rui's body was hidden in the night, his voice was as cold as ice, "How do you know?"
"Do you think the old man has lived such an old age, and he is allowed to be fooled by you?"
"Have you read the contents on the human skin?"
"Look." Xue Zhenqi said, "What is written on the human skin seems to have something to do with the destruction of my sect. Since it is my sect's business, you should not interfere. If you want to atone for your sins, there are plenty of opportunities."
Jin Rui said softly, "There is no chance."
He took a step forward, revealing half of his body from the darkness. Only then did Xue Zhenqi see that his arms were covered in blood and he was holding a dagger in his hand.
"What did you do?" Xue Zhenqi's face changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly, "Da Yuanbao, what did you do?"
Jin Rui didn't speak.
Xue Zhenqi tentatively asked: "You will not do anything to Hao Xiang, right?" He knew that the person on the human skin was Hao Xiang.
"I killed him."
"Kill him?" Xue Zhenqi said in surprise, "Why did you kill him?"
Jin Rui only felt that his head was pierced by something. He dropped the dagger in pain and put his head in his hands. "He has my family's blood on his hands. I will kill him, kill him!"
"Shut up!" Xue Zhenqi stepped forward to cover his mouth and dragged him into the room.With the help of the oil lamp, Xue Zhenqi looked at his expression carefully, frowning, "What's wrong with you? You look very strange."
Jin Rui held his head and didn't say a word.
"How can you kill people? And do you know how good Hao Xiang's relationship with the soldiers is? If you kill him, if the prince doesn't punish you, the soldiers will definitely feel chilled. Aren't you giving the prince a problem?"
Jin Rui suddenly raised his head, "You're right, I can't make things difficult for him. No one can find out, I killed Hao Xiang."
Xue Zhenqi looked at him steadfastly, "How could you kill Hao Xiang with such a body?"
Before Jin Rui could answer, Xue Zhenqi laughed at himself again, "Why am I asking you so much? With your intelligence, even if you can't even get out of bed, killing someone without a trace is not difficult for you."
Xue Zhenqi suddenly thought of something, and backed away in shock, "Did you kill Tang Ping too?"
The oil lamp on the table exploded suddenly, and Jin Rui sneered amidst the sound of "Bibipapao".
"it's me."
"You're crazy!" Xue Zhenqi said, "Aren't you afraid that the prince will know?"
Jin Rui was silent for a moment, "I'm afraid. I'm afraid that he will be disappointed with me, and I'm even more afraid that he will be in a dilemma because of me. So I have to leave, I have to leave, only if I leave, will I not hurt him."
"Da, Da Yuanbao, that's why you left suddenly all those years ago?"
"I don't know what I thought back then. I only know that I have to leave now. I killed the prince's subordinates, and I am a sinner."
Although these people have blood feuds with him, to the little prince, these people are loyal subordinates.
"You can't go. Whether you are guilty or not, the prince has the final say."
Xue Zhenqi stretched out his hand to pull Jinrui, when someone came from outside to send a message.
"Old Xue, Tang Ping's case has changed."
Xue Zhenqi and Jin Rui looked at each other, "Speak."
"A guard insisted that he saw someone entering Tang Ping's room. Although he didn't catch anyone, he saw that a floor tile in front of the bed was warped. When he went back to look again, the floor tile was flat. The prince ordered He checked carefully, and found a hidden compartment."
Jin Rui's heart suddenly lifted.
"He found a lot of valuable calligraphy and paintings in the secret cell, all of which were lost by the prince. There are also some of his letters, which turned out to be that he took the poor and powerful prisoners in the prison and beheaded them instead of the death row, so as to make money. He killed 23 people and made a full 3 taels of silver!"
Xue Zhenqi was both angry and happy.
He was angry that he didn't know people clearly, but he was happy that Jin Rui no longer had to worry and feel guilty about killing Tang Ping.
For Tang Ping's many crimes, Ling Chi's execution is considered light.
Xue Zhenqi said softly to Jin Rui: "The matter of Tang Ping is over. If you repent in front of the prince, maybe the prince will not only not deal with you, but also forgive your sins, save you from being a princess, and let you go." Come back and be a soldier."
"But I also killed Hao Xiang."
As soon as the words were finished, Lu Ke suddenly barged in, "Old Xue, the prince is not here, please follow me quickly."
When he came in and saw Jin Rui was there, he was overjoyed, "It would be even better if the concubine is here, give me some advice, I have encountered a big problem."
"What can make you so flustered?"
"You don't know, just now, someone discovered that Hao Xiang was killed."
Xue Zhenqi glanced at Jin Rui, "So, how do you plan to catch the murderer?"
"After we found Hao Xiang's body, he was still hot. Thinking that the murderer hadn't gone far, we immediately searched his residence. This investigation found a lot of things!"
"Don't give a shit, just say it."
"He hid a lot of explosives at home, and that amount might blow up half the city!"
Both Xue Zhenqi and Jin Rui were taken aback.Hao Xiang must have no good intentions for hiding so many explosives.
Hao Xiang's residence is surrounded by the homes of the young prince's most powerful soldiers, if the explosives are detonated, wouldn't it want to blow up the young prince's confidantes?
Thinking of this, Xue Zhenqi broke out in cold sweat. He grabbed Jin Rui's hand and said excitedly: "Good job! You are not a sinner, you are the lucky star of the little prince!"
