Late at night, He Xiang, who had just finished praying for immortality, was walking out of the Taoist temple in disheveled clothes.

The new steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, "Liu Guodong", looked restless and waited outside for a long time.

"What's wrong? You look distracted and nervous. What could make you so anxious?" He Xiang asked.

After Liu Guodong hesitated for a while, he said boldly: "Master Xiang...this...the Lu family...something happened!"

He Xiang snorted and said disapprovingly: "What could happen to the Lu family? Who in the world would dare to touch such a big escort agency! Could it be that... someone was killed?"

Liu Guodong: "This... is not true."

"Ugh... I thought it would be a big deal." After He Xiang learned that the matter was not related to human life, he relaxed and said: "Speak directly if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush for me!"

Liu Guodong: "The escorts from the Lujia Escort Agency have been 'cut'!"

"Had someone cut it?"

He Xiang frowned and asked: "Which escort was cut?"

Liu Guodong: "It's the escort who came back from Huanxi Taoist. He just recently took seven pills a night, a total of 108 pills, and all of them were cut!"

When He Xiang heard this, he couldn't sit still for a while, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Go and ask 'Lu Xiongying' to come over and see me."

Earlier, Lu Xiongying came to report the matter in person. He was already waiting in He Xiang's Mansion. In less than half a quarter of an hour, Lu Xiongying had arrived in the front living room.

.When she saw He Xiang, she immediately knelt down on the ground without saying a word, kowtowed and apologized.

He Xiang suppressed his emotions and asked calmly: "Who are you sending on this escort trip?"

Lu Xiongying: "Hui Xiangye is a 'big evil pen'."

"It turns out to be the pen-fork warrior known as the 'Judge of Knives and Pens' in the world of martial arts."

After He Xiang finished muttering, he continued: "Ordinarily...he is also an old escort master, and his reputation is resounding. Who dares to cut his escorts?"

Lu Xiongying: "This... we are still investigating."

"Besides the one hundred and eight pills taken seven times a night, what else was taken away from you?" He Xiang asked.

Lu Xiongying: "Except for the seven-time-a-night pill, all other gold, silver, antiques and treasures are here."

Hearing this, He Xiang felt more relieved.

He actually didn't feel bad at all when someone stole his pills seven times a night, but the fact that he was "cut off" by someone not only made him feel incredible, but even made him a little angry!

"You are privately investigating the case of dart cutting, who did it! Remember not to report it to the official, so as not to cause complications." After He Xiang explained the follow-up matters, he sent Luo Xiongying away and returned to the Taoist Temple to rest.

That night, He thought over and over again, tossing and turning all night long; he just couldn't figure out why someone was so unscrupulous that he would take the risk of cutting Lu's bodyguard for seven pills a night?

On the same night, a regular guest came to the house of Prime Minister Mei. He was a famous thief in the world, "Mr. Invisible".

Mr. Invisible is no stranger to Mr. Mei. In the early years, Mr. Invisible went to Prime Minister Mei’s house to steal, but he accidentally touched the trap and was arrested!

Mei Xiang saw that he was a master of Qinggong, that he was good at flying over eaves and walking over walls, coming and going without a trace, so she took him in as a detective to serve as her eyes and ears.

That night, Mr. Invisible came to Mei Mansion to sell stolen goods on the pretext that he had touched a rare treasure.

When Mei Xiang saw a box full of pills for seven times a night, he impatiently wanted to send him away!

Mei Xiang: "I'm already this old, why do I need this thing!"

"Mr. Xiang, you don't know something..." Mr. Invisible said cunningly: "He Xiang relies on this thing to fight at night without losing his golden gun!"

"That's He Xiang. I don't have the hobby like him. I like to hide in Taoist temples and act like a living god." Mei Xiang said with disdain.

When Mr. Invisible saw the batch of seven-time-a-night pills in his hands, Mei Xiang did not pay the bill, so he could only leave knowingly.

Two days later, He Xiang and Mei Xiang, who had just left the court, were summoned by the emperor to go to the study to play duet.

After discussing the political affairs, the emperor suddenly changed the topic and said that he had finished the seven pills a night and needed to replenish them!

In fact, He Xiang had already known about this matter, and the emperor's stock had always been under his control. Because of this, he entrusted Lu Xiongying to send someone to Huanxi Taoist to escort him back.

But I prefer death over death. This seemingly ordinary escort was actually cut off!

He Xiangguan said with a troubled expression: "It will take seven to forty-nine days, an hour and a half, to prepare a new batch of seven pills a night... I'm afraid that the supply won't be enough, but I hope your Majesty will wait a little longer. Once I get it, I will definitely

Serve it immediately."

When Mei Xiang heard what He Xiang said, he was secretly happy!

That night, he immediately found Mr. Invisible and bought twenty pills first.

Three days later, Mei Xiang was summoned by the emperor and entered the palace to meet the saint. This time, the emperor summoned him in the Wenhua Palace.

Mei Xiang brought the brocade box, which contained seven pills a night, and came to the Wenhua Hall with joyful steps.

He thought he was being summoned alone, but he didn't expect that He Xiang and Rabbit Xiang were also in the hall at this time!

Before Mei Xiang had time to sort out his surprised mood, he quickly apologized for being late.

"Mei Aiqing, there is no need to accuse her, please get up quickly..."

The emperor continued: "Earlier, I had a long discussion with Prime Minister Crane and Rabbit, and it's not over yet."

After finishing speaking, he immediately ordered Jiu Qiansui behind him to quickly give Mei Xiang a seat.

Although Jiu Qiansui had power over the entire government, he was just a slave in front of the emperor.

I saw Jiu Qiansui trotting all the way, and brought a red sandalwood embroidered dragon pier from a corner of the hall, respectfully placed it behind Mei Xiang, and invited Mei Xiang to sit down.

Later, when Prime Minister He finished his duet and was about to get up and leave, the Emperor suddenly shouted: "Prime Minister He, please stay!"

"I wonder if your Majesty...what else do you have to say?" He Xiang asked respectfully.

"There is nothing important." The emperor asked with embarrassment: "Your...seven-times-a-night pill, when can it be delivered at the earliest?"

Before He Xiang could reply, Mei Xiang immediately stood up, bowed to him and said excitedly.

"I am reporting this to Your Majesty. Unfortunately, I have a box in my hand!"

After finishing speaking, Crane Xiang and the Emperor coincidentally looked at Mei Xiang with surprised expressions; but Rabbit Xiang looked like a silly duck listening to thunder, with a blank expression on his face.

When the emperor heard that Mei Xiang had a box of seven-a-night pills in his hand, he excitedly asked him to take it out immediately and take a look.

Then Mei Xiang took out the brocade box and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor opened the brocade box, and found that the aroma, color, and appearance were all exactly the same as the pills taken seven times a night. After counting carefully, there were twenty pills in total, neither more nor less.

The emperor was overjoyed, but He Xiang had a troubled look on his face!

He knew in his heart that the box of seven-a-night pills in Mei Xiang's hand must be the twenty pills that had been cut off recently!

I just don’t know from what channel Mei Xiang obtained this batch of stolen goods.

He Xiang deliberately remained calm and did not question the origin of the Seven Times Pill in one night face to face. He only made suggestions to the emperor.

He said: "Wei Chen didn't get this pill directly from Taoist Huanxi. I hope the Holy Spirit will understand clearly. It's best to ask Guanglu Temple to test the poison before taking it."

As soon as these words came out, Prime Minister Mei immediately became anxious! He said angrily: "Mr. Weng Ge, what do you mean by this?"

He Xiang: "Mr. Mei Ge, please don't get me wrong. I have no ulterior motives. I just...have an extra thought for the emperor, just in case."

"Old man...you..." Mei Xiang said angrily.
