Your Majesty favors the beauty of bamboo horse disease

Less than a stick of incense?

Although he knew in his heart that even if Xie Yuanshi went to the brothel, it would not be what he thought, Shen Yuzhu still couldn't help being puzzled, but his face was calm: "Why did Yuanshi go to Hongxianglou?"

Xie Dao sent a message to Shen Yuzhu according to Xie Yuanshi's instructions, "Your Majesty, the imperial guards have come to report that the assassination of the Qin Palace has made progress. You are still asleep. Your Highness is going to check the situation first."

Shen Yuzhu looked Xie Dao up and down, "I haven't seen you before, are you new here?"

Xie Dao explained Xia Pei's situation, "This subordinate is the secret guard of Prince Qin's residence, who was selected to take care of His Highness's daily life instead of Xia Pei."

Xie Yuanshi had mentioned to Xia Pei before that he wanted Xia Pei to worship Zhang Yushi as his teacher. Zhang Yushi is not someone who accepts disciples casually, especially after experiencing Zhao Jie's incident before. Shi refused.

Shen Yuzhu felt that Xia Pei's qualifications were not qualified enough to be Zhang Yushi's disciple, and he thought about going to tell Zhang Yushi in person, but was stopped by Xie Yuanshi.

Unexpectedly, he was actually willing to give Xia Pei a chance, it depends on whether Xia Pei can catch it.

Shen Yuzhu went outside the mansion, the carriage was waiting outside, and the attendant asked, "Your Majesty is returning to the palace?"

How can it be?

Shen Yuzhu said: "Go to Hongxianglou."

Last time Shen Yuzhu personally interrogated a lot of news, but the assassin was only in charge of handling affairs and knew very little about the mastermind.

The imperial guards followed and lurked for more than a month, taking advantage of the lax guard around the madam tonight, without disturbing other people in the building, they took him down.

The old bustard of Hongxianglou was named Guixiang, and she was tied up and lying on the ground with a cloth stuffed in her mouth, sobbing.

Xie Yuanshi knew the specific situation before he came. Although he was dressed in a low-key manner, his temperament could not be concealed. He entered the Hongxiang Tower openly and aboveboard. Even with lowered eyes and lowered eyebrows, he attracted the attention of many girls.

When Xie Yuanshi entered the building, he didn't intend to reveal his true intentions. He looked around, singing and dancing on the stage, and the hall was filled with sweet fragrance of makeup and powder. A private room, I want a girl who can play the piano."

The "old bustard" led them upstairs to a secluded private room, leaving a young servant to guard the door.

As soon as he entered the door, there was a girl sitting at the table, two girls dressed as maids stood beside her, and a bound old bustard was lying on the ground.

The one lying on the ground looked exactly the same as the one who led the door in, and the "Buddhist" who had just mobilized her whole body to flatter her, immediately changed her posture after closing the door, and her voice also changed back: "Your Majesty, please refer to His Highness King Qin. "

The imperial guards wear it all over their faces, and it's hard to find if you don't touch it carefully with your hands.

Xie Yuanshi was familiar with this person's voice, and the imperial guard introduced himself: "Your Highness, this subordinate is Chen Qi, the leader of the seventh team of the twelve imperial guards."

As soon as the words were finished, a black shadow flashed across the window on the opposite side, and the guards who had reported to Prince Qin's Mansion did not come in directly with Xie Yuanshi, but came in through the window in two ways.

This is Sun Sha, the leader of the third imperial guard team. Chen Qi looked at Xie Yuan and then at Sun Sha, her tone of voice could not hide her worry: "Why did your Highness come directly without any pretense?"

Why didn't Sun Sha remind His Royal Highness King Qin, besides, didn't he go to report to the emperor? Why did His Highness King Qin come here?

Xie Yuanshi said it's okay, his identity has already attracted much attention in the upper capital, "I am in the middle of the capital, even if I change my appearance, it is hard to guarantee that I will not be discovered."

It would be more troublesome to try to hide it, so it would be better to just come here in an open and aboveboard way. He motioned to the people on the ground: "What's the situation with this person?"

Chen Qi: "This madam has secretly communicated with many assassins, and all orders are conveyed by her. However, we haven't pried out more information from her. Now that there are many people outside, we can only pretend to be her and wait for the opportunity. It is appropriate to quietly bring her back to the dungeon for interrogation."

"En." Xie Yuanshi squatted down next to the old bustard, pinched her chin and looked at her carefully.

Several people held their breath and heard Xie Yuanshi say: "Don't worry."

Their trust in King Qin made them seem to have found a stronger backbone.

Xie Yuanshi looked at the bustard's face, and then looked at the bustard's hand with a handkerchief on. The bustard twisted her body and struggled to get out of his hand, and the guards at the side immediately moved to hold the bustard down.

Xie Yuanshi said calmly, "No need."

He reached out to Xie Jiu for a silver needle, and the slender needle pierced straight into the old bustard's upper arm. His hand was fast and steady, and the writhing and struggling old bust stopped suddenly, so Xie Yuanshi could only let Xie Yuanshi play with it and observe.

Not long after, Xie Yuanshi got up, condescendingly, and said indifferently: "You are from Western Wu." Rather than asking questions, it is better to say affirmation.

The old bustard's pupils shrank suddenly, and he wanted to shake his head to deny it, but Xie Yuanshi said again: "It's from Minchuan in Western Wu."

The bustard: "!!"

Judging from the expression on the old bustard's face, he knew that it was almost inseparable, and the imperial guard was stunned.

Xie Yuanshi: "Who sent you here?"

After Xie Yuanshi finished speaking, he didn't intend to listen to the old bustard's answer, "The secret work that the Third Prince of West Wu placed in Shangjing was cleaned by Bai Ling three years ago."

Xie Yuanshi was very sure: "It is impossible for a fish to slip through the net."

"The old emperor of Western Wu is old. Although he is not stupid, he has no great ambitions. The third prince suffered a loss in Daqi and lost the hearts of the ruling and opposition parties. He has been silent for the past few years. The prince is weak and sick and has had a stroke for more than a year. He has no energy to do anything. These."

"You belong to the fourth prince." Xie Yuanshi thought for a moment, "but your identity is not enough. Ye Xiangcheng doesn't have much power at his disposal. Sui Yuan, his most trusted confidant, worked in Yezhougu Defense eight months ago and then took a detour to Fangting, via Fujian. In my hometown in Chuan, I stayed for more than three months before returning to the court."

"You are a master craftsman cultivated by Sui Yuan in Minchuan."

The old bustard's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and Chen Qi and Sun Sha swallowed unconsciously.

Chen Qi was puzzled and said, "But Your Highness, the imperial guards have been investigating the bustard who has been in Shangjing for many years."

Xie Yuanshi said indifferently: "Well, the news about the imperial guard is also true. She came very early and has been lurking without any action, so she is not a core figure, but just a nail left here, responsible for delivering news from it."

He pulled out the needle on the old bustard's arm, replaced it around the neck and tied it again, and pulled out the cloth stuffed in her mouth.

"Tell me, how do they communicate with you?"

There was no hindrance in the old bustard's mouth, but he couldn't utter a word, his voice was like a bellows, and he could only make a hoarse voice, and his eyes were full of fear and panic after the truth was leaked.

Xie Yuanshi waved at Chen Qi and Sun Sha, "She can't yell out, pull behind the screen to ask, and I'll leave the rest to you, don't reveal your identity, and bring her to the dungeon when the time is right, so as not to cause any accidents nearby People with them will scare the snake away."

……

Opposite Hongxianglou is a restaurant, and there are two people sitting by the window in the restaurant.

"How long has it been?" This is Zhang Yushi.

"It's been half an hour." This is the Minister of War.

The Minister of the Ministry of War just came out to have a light meal with Zhang Yushi, and they ate for more than half an hour, because not long after they sat down, they saw a familiar figure on the opposite side enter Hongxianglou.

"Isn't that His Royal Highness the King of Qin?" The Minister of the Ministry of War casually glanced out of the window and caught Xie Yuanshi's unique temperament.

Zhang Yushi followed his gaze, just in time to see Xie Yuanshi's back entering the building.

Then they ate and ate until now.

More than half an hour passed, and His Royal Highness King Qin still did not come out.

Minister of the Ministry of War laughed twice, showing an expression of understanding, Zhang Yushi gave him a sideways glance, "What are you thinking about, His Royal Highness King Qin just recovered from a serious illness, how can he have the energy to think about these things."

Minister of the Ministry of War touched his head, he was in his 30s, and looked naive: "Then what is Qin Wang doing here?"

Zhang Yushi: "I heard from Mr. Song Ge that His Royal Highness King Qin has listened to his advice and has been practicing qin music recently." Maybe he was listening to music, or he was discussing skills.

"Oh, so it's this—" Minister of the Ministry of War rubbed his eyes and stared, "Master Yushi, look!"

"That, that person... isn't that the emperor?!"

Zhang Yushi looked back, and it was true.

Minister of the Ministry of War: "Oh! Your Majesty's iron tree is blooming. Song Ge is finally happy. I will tell him the good news when I get back."

Zhang Yushi was a little suspicious.

Can?

After the imperial guards took control of the Hongxiang Building, they deployed control in the building without a trace. As soon as Shen Yuzhu entered the building, his own people came forward to greet him and took him to the room where Xie Yuanshi was.

Behind the screen, Chen Qi, Sun Sha and others were interrogating the bustard in low voices.

This was the scene when Shen Yuzhu entered, Xie Yuanshi looked bored, sitting at the table with his hands resting on his forehead, not far away was a girl from Hongxianglou dressed as a guard playing the piano.

"Are you awake?"

Shen Yuzhu pinched his cheek, said with itchy teeth, "I finally woke up."

Xie Yuanshi's eyes were full of innocence: "What's wrong with you?"

Why do you look a little angry?Who provoked him?It can't be him, can it?

Shen Yuzhu: "So you make me lie down and close my eyes, and play the piano for me, just to put me to sleep, and then you come here to listen to the girl playing the piano?"

Xie Yuanshi: "..."

Injustice.

He clearly wanted him to rest for a while because he didn't have a good rest recently. Later, the imperial guards came to report the news to let him sleep for a while. How could these two things be causally connected.

Xie Yuanshi: "I'm not, I asked Xie Dao to stay, didn't Xie Dao tell you?"

"Yeah." Shen Yuzhu said: "When I went out, I asked where you were, and he told me that His Royal Highness King Qin took someone to the Hongxiang Tower half an hour ago. Half an hour."

So he just fell asleep and left.

Xie Yuanshi was helpless: "Then you know now."

Shen Yuzhu glanced at the girl playing the piano, the girl held the piano winkingly and went out, and closed the door carefully.

"I saw you listening to the piano when I came in."

Xie Yuanshi explained: "She is a guard."

Of course Shen Yuzhu knew that it was a guard, but he said, "Then you are also listening to the piano."

Xie Yuanshi's refutation was fruitless: "Well, I'm just listening to the piano."

Shen Yuzhu pinched his face again angrily.

Xie Yuanshi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's easy to get old when you are often angry."

"Who says I'm angry, I'm not."

"Hmm, your majesty is not angry, how could your majesty be angry, your majesty is not angry at all."

Shen Yuzhu: "..."

Take a deep breath.

After the emperor entered the Hongxiang Building, the Minister of War and Zhang Yushi stared at each other, until Shen Yuzhu appeared again.

"Come out, come out."

"How long?"

"Hmm... not even a stick of incense?"

This is out?
