After the cannon fodder prince collapsed, the country will not perish

Xiao Di glanced at Xie Huaiwei.

This person is a no-brainer, letting this person discover clues is definitely not going to work, but if the clues are deliberately laid out in front of his eyes and lead him to discover the person behind the scenes, it is a feasible method.

Xiao Di squinted his eyes, the night was as dark as ink, he quietly came to the racecourse alone.

He has already guessed about it, and what he needs to do now is to confirm it finally.

The moon hung high in the sky, and several strong horses in the stables stood still with their tails down, obviously resting.

Xiao Di glanced over the stables.

One place is empty, and there is no food in the trough.

Xiao Di's eyes flashed sharply: "Where are the horses here?"

Manu recognized him as someone who waited on His Highness's horse riding during the day, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and smiled apologetically, "Here...there are no horses in this place!"

"Really?" Xiao Di said in a cold voice, "The horseshoe prints on the ground are still there."

Manu froze, although the visitor was still young, but his black pupils were cold and deep, and it was the middle of the night when no one was there, so he couldn't help but feel his back tense.

Xiao Di didn't ask any more about this matter, he glanced at the stable and said, "When did you start raising horses?"

Manu hurriedly said: "The little one... the little one has been raised for more than ten years."

"The horse feed in the stables has always been new grass covering the old grass, and it has never been so clean." Xiao Di's eyes fell on the stables with no horse feed left, and said coldly: "If you don't know how to raise them, then It was intentional."

The manu was startled, he didn't expect Xiao Di to notice this detail, he hurriedly said: "This matter has nothing to do with the little one! This... the little one is also following the orders of the adults..."

"Whose order?"

The manu froze, a trace of hesitation evidently flashed across his face.

There was a chill on the neck, and it was a cold blade.

"Your Highness fell off his horse a few days ago, and you must have known about it." Xiao Di's black eyes were locked on him, and his voice was a bit sharp: "I came here specially to investigate this matter. If you dare to hide it, you can hide it tonight." It's your time of death!"

A cold light flashed in Xiao Di's eyes, which made people tremble like Shura demanding his life.

"We really did as ordered." Manu was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he knelt tremblingly. He could see that there was definitely a desperate master in front of him: "It's the food and grass that Pang... Pang Zhang, who is next to His Highness, He is the person next to His Highness, the most favored..."

Xiao Di interrupted coldly: "When did he order you?"

"I ordered it a long time ago." Manu tremblingly said: "I said that these horses don't need to change their food every day. He also said that it was the horses that His Highness rode in the past. Naturally, they should be changed every day to clean the stables. If not, What do you want us people to do?"

"Really?" Xiao Di looked around and said with a slight sneer, "Why haven't you changed now?"

Manu hurriedly said: "This...Since His Majesty ascended the throne, Little Eunuch Pang has gradually become busy. He used to come to the stables to look around, but recently he doesn't come to supervise. The little one... the little one is also raised according to the old method. ..."

Xiao Di narrowed his eyes slowly.

Pang Zhang really cares about raising horses, so much so that he has to personally order the food and stables.

He valued it in every possible way before, but now he never shows up again, Xiao Di sneered, this person must feel that the shocking incident is over, so naturally he doesn't want to come here again.

The early order to strictly control the horse feed was also to cover up the truth of the matter smoothly.

It seems that the people behind this incident had planned it long ago, but they didn't expect that even the most sophisticated plan would show their flaws.

Xiao Di glanced at the empty space and said, "How did this horse die?"

"Suddenly lost weight a few days ago, and died within a few days." Manu did not dare to hide it this time, and said truthfully: "He fell to His Highness, and we were still thinking about how to deal with him, but in a few days, he became thinner. Horse frame—we all said that His Highness is blessed by the Son of Heaven, and he is blessed with good luck, so the horse bumped into him, so naturally it didn't end well."

Xiao Di narrowed his eyes: "Who said that?"

"... Eunuch Pang also told us that he is the clerk next to His Highness, and he is the best at talking. He can turn anything bad into something interesting." It's gone, it's the luck of the heavens, so we don't have to mention it again."

Killing intent rose in Xiao Di's eyes.

I want to use the luck of the heavens to cover up my private actions,

This Pang Zhang really had a clever mouth.

The moonlight was cold, Xiao Di turned his head to look at the horse slave and said, "Your Highness will startle the horse, someone will come to ask you again in the next few days——"

The groom was startled, and murmured: "But... but the villain is only responsible for feeding the horses, he doesn't know anything..."

"The matter happened to be feeding the horse." Xiao Di lowered his voice and said, "There is a problem with the horse's food, can you avoid it?"

The man shook slightly, and looked at Xiao Di as if asking for help.

"You don't have to panic." Xiao Di said coldly, "Just tell the truth as I told you—"

On the second day, Xiao Di arrived at the backyard early in the morning as usual, preparing to serve Xie Qingci on horseback.

Xie Qingci thought he didn't get enough sleep, Ruyu's cheeks were sleepy, he changed into a jacket with a stand-up collar, most of his fair neck was covered by the collar, like a perfectly stitched pearl waiting to be peeled off.

There are always two people by his side, one is Chunliu and the other is Pang Zhang.

Pang Zhang is indeed quite trusted by Xie Qingci.

Xiao Di hesitated slightly, and controlled the speed of the horse to slow down.

Xie Qingci drove for a while, but saw that the horse was only circling around one place, and felt that something was wrong, and asked suspiciously: "Is there something wrong with the horse?"

Xiao Di said lightly: "Running for two consecutive days, the horse will definitely get tired."

Are you tired?

Xie Qingci did not expect the horse to be so impatient to ride, and doubts flashed across his face: "The previous horse was very energetic after running for several days. That distance seems to be much longer than the one in the yard."

Xiao Di looked at him with dark eyes and said, "Is that the horse that frightened His Highness?"

Xie Qingci grabbed the reins and nodded: "Aren't they all good horses from the Western Regions? Is there a difference in physical strength?"

Xiao Di noticed that Pang Zhang's expression froze immediately when he mentioned the former pony.

"The good horses from the Western Regions have just arrived in the capital, and many of them are depressed. If you encounter extremely excited ones, you should be vigilant instead."

Xie Qingci turned his head to look at him.

"Medication." Xiao Di glanced at Pang Zhang's pale face and said, "There are many aphrodisiac drugs in the capital, and using them on horses can make them agitated."

Xie Qingci's ears were blushing, and he said in a low voice: "This... there is still this kind of medicine..."

"Yes, there are quite a few people in Beijing who use it for horse racing, and you can buy it in many shops, but you have to control the dosage so that the horses don't die afterwards." Xiao Di's voice paused slightly: "If your Highness wants to, why not... Let Pang Zhang go and have a look."

Chunliu snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with Xiao Di dominating Pang Zhang.

Pang Zhang's eyes narrowed, and his complexion turned pale.

When Xiao Di said these words at this time, it seemed that he meant something.

"No need." Xie Qingci shook his head and said: "I ride a horse to relax my mind. They are all good war horses. Why use these tricks to destroy the waste?"

Xiao Di only raised some points slightly, but never said anything after that.

The words just now echoed in Xie Qingci's mind. The horse that had been drugged was excited, but it might die later...

Xie Qingci lowered his head slightly.

The chaotic thoughts, because of Xiao Di's unintentional words, cleared the clouds and saw the sun.

After several people practiced the horses, the sun had already set, so Xiao Di took the horses back to the stables on purpose.

Someone is always following behind him.

With a sneer on the corner of Xiao Di's mouth, he led the horse and walked slowly.

When he arrived at the stable, Pang Zhang finally couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and said grimly, "Xiao Di!"

Xiao Di raised his head, pretending to be stunned and said, "Pang...Pang Zhang?"

Pang Zhang looked him up and down, and said coldly: "Xiao Di, you are new here, do you know what rules should be observed when serving His Highness?"

"Please give me your advice."

"Speak carefully!" Pang Zhang raised his chin.He said coldly: "Your Highness is only fifteen or sixteen, you have committed a taboo by mentioning that medicine in front of him today!"

"Little Eunuch Pang really knows how to think for the master." Xiao Di looked at him, his eyes revealing murderous intent, and said, "It's a taboo to mention that medicine, so what if you use it?"

Pang Zhang's eyes were shocked, and he said coldly, "You...what did you say?"
