"Have you heard? There was an auspicious sign in Prince Zhong's Mansion last night."

"How auspicious?"

"A crane descended from the sky, and auspicious clouds carried the immortal to the world. He told King Zhong to serve the king with utmost filial piety, so he gave King Zhong a panacea."

"real?"

"How can there be any lies? I was near Ziyang Mountain at that time, and I heard the roar of cranes with my own ears, and then I saw the fairy aura of Prince Zhong's Mansion floating in the air!"

"Come here, let's whisper... I heard that King Zhong was born with weak limbs and could only speak at the age of seven. Now that he takes this elixir, will he become smarter?"

"That's what I mean……"

In the streets and alleys, people everywhere are talking about this matter.

In a teahouse, Li Zhaocheng and Yan Yunyun were sitting by the window, looking at the activities in the restaurant opposite.

"Did you arrange it?"

"No, I just sent someone to deliver the letter." Yan Yunyun said: "Zhao Fu asked those Zhan officials to arrange it. The old guys thought that the auspiciousness was used to build momentum for Zhao Fu, and that the immortals offered medicine to make fools smart.

name, shattering those rumors about Zhao Yu."

"Then, are you afraid that you will disappoint those famous scholars?" Li Zhaocheng stared at Yan Yunyun and said with a smile: "You sold them, but you still have them count the money?"

"I don't care if they are disappointed or not." Yan Yunyun held tea in his hand and sneered: "Let them work hard and make wedding clothes for us."

Li Zhaocheng has been feeling much more relaxed recently and whispered: "Speaking of this, I..."

Yan Yunyun's expression suddenly changed and he quickly closed the window and door.

"Quickly, inform Jiang Fan that we are being targeted."

"Don't..."

"Walk!"

~~

"Is it that woman?"

"This figure... it is possible that someone came out from near Prince Zhong's Mansion just now and entered this teahouse."

"That's correct. You guys continue to watch, and I'll go back and report the news."

The speaker quickly walked through the streets and entered a liquor store.

After a while, the waiter from the wine shop walked into Shicaitang carrying two bottles of wine.

"Shopkeeper, the wine you requested has been delivered."

The shopkeeper took the wine, took out a stack of newspapers from the jar, read it, and said, "This news is important. Go and report it to your boss as soon as possible."

Less than half an hour later, Liao Yingzhong rushed to Jia Sidao.

"Alang is going out?"

"Today Wu Qian was demoted from the court and I went to see him off."

"Alang's prediction is correct. Li Xia's men may have some contact with Prince Zhong's Mansion."

Jia Sidao narrowed his eyes and murmured: "This way, many things will make sense."

"But... there is still no evidence."

"It's okay." Jia Sidao calmly sat on the sedan and said, "I'm just going to ask for evidence."

~~

Waiting outside the tide gate.

Wu Qian, who had only been in power for half a year, had been banished to the Jianchang Army, given the training envoy of the Huazhou regiment, and was resettled in Xunzhou.

There are very few people who came to see me off today.

After all, Wu Qian's relegation this time was different from usual, as it involved a dispute over the reserve position.

After dealing with several old friends and disciples, Wu Qian turned around tremblingly and was about to get on the boat when he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Master Lu Zhai, please stay."

Turning around, I saw a luxurious sedan slowly approaching.

Wu Qian saw it and shook his head, with a look of sadness in his eyes.

…

Jia Sidao walked past the tide-watching platform, put his hands on the railing, and said, "It was me who ruined Lu Zhaigong's plan."

"oh?"

"I remind Mrs. Cixian that Huang may have committed perjury."

"That's it." Wu Qian Fuxu sighed: "I lost to Shi Xian."

"Mr. Lu Zhai, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb with me. How about you speak out today?"

"I sincerely admit defeat. I was defeated by Shi Xian."

"This matter is not that simple. Mrs. Cixian did not find Li Yong in Huang's courtyard. Where did he go?"

Wu Qian sighed: "I don't know."

"I have checked that the courtyard where the Huang family lives is located in the east corner of Prince Rong's Mansion. There are sixteen servants in the courtyard. Because the Huang family is the least favored by Prince Rong, these sixteen people have rarely been paid attention to. They don't know that Duke Lu Zhai bribed them.

How many people are there to allow Li Yong to sneak into Huang's courtyard?"

"One sweeper, four attendants, and one concierge."

"That's great." Jia Sidao clapped his hands and praised, saying: "When Mrs. Cixian arrived that day, Li Yong was indeed not in Huang's courtyard, so Mrs. Cixian thought I was lying to her. But... is it possible that Li Yong was

Li Xia took it away?

Where should I take it? For example, there is a warehouse in the northeast corner, and the servants are busy placing the betrothal gifts. The scene is very chaotic, and no one notices the father and son."

Wu Qian said: "I don't know."

"Then let me make another guess... After Mrs. Cixian left, Li Yong returned to the Huang family's house again, and even Prince Zhong also turned back?"

"Why turn back?"

"After all, Mrs. Huang is the biological mother of King Zhong. There are many ways to deceive and scare him." Jia Sidao thought for a while and said slowly: "If you ask me to do it, you can ask the maid next to you to hook King Zhong. In short, King Zhong

Turned back."

After saying this, Jia Sidao knocked on the wooden fence and made a "tap-tat" sound, as if to remind him something.

"Luxhai Gong has been planning for many years to deceive the king. But Li Yongruo just wants to deceive the loyal king. Isn't it difficult?"

"It seems that I am really too old to understand what Shi Xian means."

"You and I were both fooled by Li Xia."

Wu Qian stood there with his eyes closed, as if asleep, without speaking.

Jia Sidao smiled and said, "Six of Huang's servants are missing. Please bring the Luzhai bus to me."

Wu Qian said slowly: "If I say that I don't know where they are, will Shi Xian believe it?"

"Xin. If you have this kind of evidence in hand, you can still deal with King Zhong."

"I don't understand."

"Pretending to be a lake." Jia Sidao continued to ponder and said: "That was before King Rong died, these people escaped and followed Li Yong back to Sichuan... Only in this way can they survive."

"Maybe."

"But Lu Zhaigong has other clues that can prove that Li Xia killed Prince Rong. For example, Li Yong went in and out of Prince Rong's mansion many times..."

"Shi Xian is overthinking it."

Jia Sidao sneered and said: "You are unwilling to come up with the clues, but they can only prove that Li Xia killed King Rong, but they are not enough to bring down King Zhong."

"Prince Rong died of illness, not due to assassination."

Jia Sidao came closer and said sincerely, "Li Xia broke the rules."

He pointed at himself and then at Wu Qian.

"You and I can fight, and it doesn't matter if we fight to the death or to our lives, because we care about the country, abide by the rules, and will never dare to commit murder.

On the other hand, Li Xia, if he had done this, killing the emperor's relatives without permission, would be simply lawless and treasonous!

I have long suspected that he lured Li Fen into Huaidong... This son will definitely bring chaos to the country. Mr. Lu Zhai, do you really want to protect him?"

At this point, Jia Sidao became more sincere.

"Everyone can find rebellious ministers and traitors and punish them, right?"

Wu Qian asked: "What if Shi Xian gets the evidence? Present it to the officials? Or secretly control the emperor's heirs to fill your own pocket?"

"My own private life? What I, Jia Sidao, do is to protect the country of the Song Dynasty."

"If you act too hastily, you will bring disaster to the country and the people..."

"Ha, you stubborn old man, just shut up if you don't understand!" Jia Sidao suddenly changed his tone and said, "You have been completely defeated. If you still have a trace of loyalty to the country, help me."
