In fact, someone in Prince Jin's mansion has already discovered that the prince is missing. After all, the disappearance of the prince is such a big deal. If the housekeeper and Commander Gao know nothing about it, they are not worthy of staying in this position.

As soon as Xiao Hongjin and Governor Yu passed through the garden, they noticed that there was movement in the main courtyard, and there was a person dressed as a low-level servant looking out of the flower window. Who was it if it wasn't the former housekeeper Mei Dehai?

It seems that he sneaked in while the guards were in a hurry.

When Governor Yu saw it, he planned to step forward and deal with him. Before that, he had thought about letting the former royal housekeeper pretend to be drunk and slip into the water.But it wasn't long before Mo Zhu was taken away. He was worried that if he did it too quickly, it would arouse alarm in the palace, so he let Medhai live for a while, but he was still ruthless.

"I'll do it." Xiao Hongjin held him back, he couldn't let his supervisor take the initiative in everything, he could also contribute, right?

Governor Yu didn't force himself when he saw this, and hesitated for a while: "Okay, then I'm leaving?"

He was still wearing night clothes. It was dark at this time, and if it was brighter, he would be easily spotted.

All that should be said has been said along the way, and Xiao Hongjin knew that the governor was waiting for him when he saw that his supervisor said to leave but did not move his feet.He pulled the man behind a landscape, kissed him hard for a minute under the cover of a rockery, and then patted the man's butt: "Okay, let's go."

He still wanted to catch the spies, but he ran away after too long a delay.

Governor Yu glanced at him angrily, his vigorous posture was as light as nothing, and he quickly climbed over the courtyard wall and disappeared.

Only then did Xiao Hongjin go forward to arrest Mei Dehai, he walked lightly behind him, grabbed his neck with one hand, and shouted loudly: "Okay, this king said that the palace is not clean. A thief inside!"

The two of them were just outside the flower window, and their voices could be clearly heard in the inner courtyard. The butler and Commander Gao were in a hurry inside, and when they heard the prince's voice, they ran out immediately.

"My lord!"

Medhai has a bit of kung fu, otherwise he wouldn't dare to take such a risk.But Xiao Hongjin frightened him quite a bit when he came, and with the fact that the butler and Commander Gao brought people out soon, Mei Dehai had no chance to escape.

"My lord, where have you been? You and Butler Wang are almost worried to death!" Commander Gao asked two guards to take over Mei Dehai, but he didn't even go to see him, he just surrounded King Jin to ask for his warmth.

"Where can I go, isn't it the Qinshui Pavilion by the lotus pond?" Xiao Hongjin randomly found a place to perfunctory, betting that Commander Gao and Steward Wang would not dare to search the palace with great fanfare.

"Really?" Commander Gao scratched the back of his head, remembering that he had someone go to Qinshui Pavilion to look for it, but the small attic was divided into a lot of space, and the guards might have missed it.

"My lord, why did you go there?" Steward Wang asked.

"The king was too bored reading in the dining room. He went to the attic to blow some air and fell asleep accidentally." He seemed to have suddenly remembered something important: "It's fortunate that the king is out, otherwise he, a spy, would not be able to be caught. , who sent you here?"

"No, no one sent slaves here." Mei Dehai's eyes flickered, of course he dared not say that he was sent by Eunuch Liu.

At this moment, he is only glad that King Jin's recklessness is reckless, and he never kills his servants, otherwise he will be caught peeping by the prince himself, and his life will be lost!

But this time Mei Dehai guessed wrong, and King Jin said angrily: "You are so stupid to be my king. You are a groom who ran into the inner courtyard of the palace. Didn't you spy on what this king is? Commander Gao, drag him down and start a new life." Hit [-] boards to see how dishonest he is!"

"My lord, don't—" Medhai had a bitter face, and before he could argue, the guard covered his mouth with a dirty sweat towel and was dragged down.

Commander Gao glanced at King Jin's face, and asked cautiously, "My lord, Mei Dehai is a member of the inner court supervisor. Wouldn't it be good if he was beaten to death?"

Eighty strokes, and he still needs to be beaten hard. Even if Medhai is not dead after the beating, he will be disabled!

"What are you afraid of? After killing the king, I'm going around! I still have to beat the gongs and drums to send the body back to the inner court prison. It's not good to assign someone to the king. It's clear that someone with a problem is aimed at the king, hehe !" Xiao Hongjin had no scruples and was extremely arrogant.

Commander Gao's head was dripping with cold sweat. If they really wanted to do this, their lord's reputation in Beijing would be even worse...

But Mei Dehai deserved it, it is only natural for the prince to kill him, no one can find fault with their palace, so follow the prince's order!

Commander Gao was an honest person, which caused Medhai to suffer unbearable pain after twenty sticks. In order to prevent himself from talking nonsense, he bit the poison in his teeth first and committed suicide.

"My lord, Mei Dehai committed suicide by taking medicine." Commander Gao came in to see the lord with a guilty conscience.

He had been in Prince Jin's mansion for three years, and spent two years on Kunlun Mountain with the prince. He only had a vague idea of ​​the methods used in the palace, so he was not prepared and forgot to check Medhai's teeth.

"Suicide? Then did he explain who sent him here?" Xiao Hongjin's expression was unremarkable, and he was already mentally prepared.

Commander Gao continued to shake his head guiltily.

Xiao Hongjin heaved a sigh of relief, this way, he didn't have to go into the palace to complain to Emperor Cheng because of Mei Dehai's nonsense.

He waved his hand: "Okay, then, as I said before, send people to the inner court prison with drums and gongs, and spread the word along the way, so that they know that I am not easy to mess with!"

"..."

The prince insisted on going his own way, and both Manager Wang and Commander Gao couldn't persuade him, so he could only follow through.

Governor Yu returned to Dongchang, because he had to see the prince in the morning, he just washed up, changed his clothes, and was hurrying to deal with official duties, when he heard Jin Wang's mansion carrying a corpse to the inner court with great fanfare. .

Governor Yu: "..."

It is indeed something that King Jin can do!

However, the more arrogant and domineering King Jin was, the less suspicious Emperor Cheng would be.Sure enough, the palace just issued an order to reprimand King Jin Yitong, and the reason was that he was too high-profile, and rewarded him with something in private as a consolation.

After all, there are no good people in the inner court supervisor. With King Jin's upright character, it's reasonable to lose his temper.

But one person was very unhappy, that person was the crown prince, he felt that the father deliberately favored the fifth child.

When he saw Duzhu Yu later, he talked about it, and said after finishing it: "Fifth brother is so out of tune, it must be very difficult for Duzhu to come back from Huzhou, right?"

He deliberately emphasized Huzhou in order to test Governor Yu's reaction.

The prince is 34 years old this year, with a short beard. On the surface, he looks leisurely and calm, concentrating on making tea, but impatience and ambition are written on his face.

Governor Yu watched silently, and sneered in his heart, he heard that there were fifty or sixty counselors in the prince's mansion, they were so useless, how could he have the face to say that King Jin was out of tune?

King Jin seems to be reckless, but in fact he acts meticulously and has great wisdom. Governor Yu himself can scold King Jin, but he can't hear others say no to him, which is harsh.

Governor Yu waited for a while, and after the crown prince had finished showing his tea art performance, he saluted the corporal and poured a cup of tea for himself before getting up with a look of emotion: "Your Highness, please come by yourself."

Dongchang is very powerful, he is not afraid to sit with the prince at all, let alone the other party invites him personally.

The governor took a sip of tea, but actually poured all the tea into his sleeve pocket: "Your Highness, the Zajia has always wanted to ask His Highness something. Since His Highness treats you so courteously, the Zajia will speak up."

"Please tell me, Governor." The prince became interested.

"The miscellaneous family arrested the remnants of the Bai family in Huzhou before. Your Highness must have known about it. The factory guards interrogated them all night, and even asked that the person who sent the news to the rebellious party came from the Xuanping uncle's mansion..."

"Xuanping Earl's Mansion?" The prince didn't think of a dilapidated Earl's Mansion for a while, and he didn't know what this matter had to do with him?

It was the staff around him who reminded him: "Xuan Pingbo's daughter married the third master Wu as his stepmother the year before last. Before the third master pleaded for mercy, didn't His Highness agree to help Xuan Pingbo..."

The prince instantly understood and almost jumped up in shock: "What?"

If the royal father knew that he was in collusion with the Bai family, he would tear him apart!

"Your Highness, don't worry, the miscellaneous family always feel that this news is too easy to come by, and they dare not tell His Majesty lightly until it is confirmed. However, it is not easy for the miscellaneous family to check. If your highness is free, you might as well check it out yourself."

Dongchang wanted to check, but it was not as easy as the prince himself, but sooner or later he could find it out. The prince felt that what he said was to save face, and it was also a reminder, so he twitched his lips gratefully: "I understand, I will definitely check it out, Give the Lord an explanation."

Governor Yu hesitated to speak, but the crown prince hurriedly said, "It's okay to say, Governor."

Governor Yu frowned: "It's just some unconfirmed news, His Highness just listen to it, it's not true. That Bai Jinian died of snake poison by mistake, but before that, he always said that sooner or later he would let the miscellaneous family die badly. It seems that he has a lot of confidence in someone in Jingli.

If that person is not His Highness, who is it?During his lifetime, Bai Maonian lavishly amassed money, and less than one-tenth of it was copied when Dongchang ransacked his home. If Bai Jinian told the other party the news... Well, as far as the miscellaneous family knows, at that time, only one mansion sent secret guards Been to Huzhou. "

Governor Yu knows that the Bai family has a huge treasure, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it. The more you cover it up, the more it shows that you have a ghost in your heart, so you just say it openly.But he didn't speak clearly, and the prince was really fooled: "Who?"

Governor Yu closed his eyes and remained silent, drinking tea as a cover.The prince waved his hand, and soon a secret guard who collected information walked in on his knees and whispered beside the prince.

"Him?" The prince sneered, not believing it at all: "He, a sick child who won't live long, dares to fight against Gu?"

Governor Yu delivered the final blow at the right time: "Your Highness's words are wrong. No one said that a sick child will never be cured, right? Like Daoist Guiyuan in the palace, I heard that the elixir he made is good for blood circulation and beauty." Miraculously, there are many capable people and strange people in this world, and there are quite a few people with real skills..."

The prince's eyes changed, and he didn't even think about getting up and grabbing his hand, and asked sharply: "What does the governor know?!"

Superintendent Yu stared at his wrist until the crown prince let go, and then he said nonchalantly: "The miscellaneous family only knows that the house has been looking for famous doctors in the past few years, but there seems to be no news recently, right?"

In fact, there was news, but Yu Wang recovered from his illness, and the notice to seek medical treatment was just a show, not so anxious and eager.You must know that in the past few years, Yuwang's Mansion has increased the consultation fees every year, and the doctors once regarded it as a shortcut to fame and wealth, but no one has been successful.

The prince seemed to be struck by lightning, his face was all black.

Second child, second child deceived him so hard!He almost made a raft for the other party!

Director Yu still thought it was not perfect enough, so he finally explained to himself the act of leaking secrets when he came up: "A eunuch from the Zajia family originally didn't want to get involved in these things, but if someone wants to blame the Zajia family, then the Zajia family can only use it as an eunuch." The way of the person is to treat the body of the person."

The crown prince was very afraid of him because he suddenly learned that King Yu had recovered from his illness. As soon as Director Yu said this, he instantly cleared up his suspicions and listed King Yu as the number one suspect.

By the way, the informant letter might have been sent by the second child too!

Governor Yu is not afraid that he will investigate, but he is afraid that he will not investigate!Prince Yu's mansion left more loopholes than him, and he had pointed out the direction for the crown prince. Not to mention anything else, it was difficult for others to investigate in Uncle Xuanping's mansion, because he had to take care of the crown prince. The prince went to investigate in person, and Uncle Xuanping's mansion had not yet been Turn upside down.

When the prince finds out the secret of King Yu, it doesn't matter whether he believes that King Yu won the treasure or not.When the two sides fight, he just sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight, and confuses the audience by the way. Who can trace the truth?
