The leading man's eyes are red. He has brought more than 20 brothers, more than half of whom have been damaged. He still hasn't caught that person, and he hasn't even seen what that person looks like!
It was still raining, and the air in the forest was filled with the smell of dead grass and fallen leaves, mixed with the fishy smell of mud.
The birds in the sky screamed and flew away.
"Boss, someone is coming, and there are quite a few of them! Let's retreat quickly!"
No matter how unwilling the leader was, he could only wipe the rain off his face.
"You guys retreat first. We have lost so many brothers here today. If we don't even see who the enemy is, we are too incompetent. I want to stay and see who is against us!"
The people around him wanted to persuade him again, but some people were already running towards him in panic, shouting as they ran: "Boss, hurry up, it's Jin Yiwei! Si Yiluo is here in person!"
Everyone present had heard of Si Yiluo's reputation, but without actually confronting her, anyone would feel contemptuous.
"We'll consider it a great achievement if we take the opportunity to kill her!"
The subordinate shook his head and said: "No, she has brought more than 200 people, and there are less than ten of us. We can't even touch the corner of her clothes. We should go back to Mr. Ge to find a way. Can we save it?"
Easy to say!”
"Boss, let's go quickly, it's too late!"
Zhou Zhan, who was hiding in the grass, listened to their conversation. Mr. Ge, which Mr. Ge? Now there are only two elders in the court, Bo'an and Bao Fan. What do they want Mr. Gui to do?
There was a rustling sound in his ears, and the group of people disappeared into the depths of the mountain forest. About a quarter of an hour later, he saw the Jin Yiwei people. After waiting for two more cups of tea, Si Yiluo's voice came clearly.
"The body is still warm. We didn't even have time to dispose of the body. They can't run far, so they continue to chase!"
Si Yiluo searched the corpse and found nothing useful except for a few common boning knives on the market.
Zhou Zhan lifted up the dead grass on his body and coughed slightly, creating a movement.
Song Yehe and a group of Jinyi guards immediately drew their swords and pointed them at him.
Si Yiluo looked over and saw a completely unfamiliar face, but the look in his eyes...
She calmly ordered: "Take the person back and wait for me to interrogate him in person! Song Baihu, you stay and continue the search!"
There was blood on his arm. Si Yiluo looked around him and found no other wounds for the time being. He felt relieved, as long as he was still alive.
Riding all the way back to Beijing, Xiang Yun first sent a message to the palace. Knowing that Zhou Zhan was fine, Xiang Yun took the time to go to Prince Zhan's palace and inform Yin Yue.
Yinyue breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhou Zhan still had to go to the imperial prison, and he wouldn't be able to come back for a while.
But as long as my prince is fine, that's fine.
Shen Moran looked at him with eyes, nose and heart, looked at him clearly, and smiled softly.
Do you want to hide this trick from her?
In a separate cell in the imperial prison, Zhou Zhan, who had put on clean clothes and had his wounds treated, took off the human skin mask on his face and smiled at Si Yiluo: "Master Si's ability is beyond doubt. He came up with the best of both worlds so quickly.
Help me out of trouble."
Si Yiluo sighed: "Even if the official doesn't take action, His Highness can get out of trouble with his own ability. However, Your Highness should bring more people with him when he goes out in the future, and don't take risks himself."
Zhou Zhan shook his head and said: "If I don't move around anymore, I will feel like a waste. Fortunately, I didn't gain nothing last night."
He took out the long arrow and placed it on the table. The black arrowhead exuded cold air.
"This is the crossbow used by those people..."
Si Yiluo picked it up and looked at it carefully.
"Master Si, what can you see?"
"This arrow is longer and thicker than ordinary arrows, with a larger arrowhead and stronger power. It looks like it was fired from a bed crossbow. Small hand crossbows are easy to find on the market, but bed crossbows are a must-have in the military, and every
There are marks on each arrow, and you only need to follow the marks to find out where the problem lies."
She turned the arrow over, and there was indeed a mark on the arrow's position. The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the army were all suspected.
Si Yiluo handed the arrow to Chen Wang and asked him to investigate it secretly.
Zhou Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "There is one more thing."
"Since Yin Yue has come to see you, I can't hide my pretending to be sick from you. To be honest, my method of pretending to be sick was taught by an expert hermit, and it needs to be combined with the medicine he specially developed."
"That master is known as Gui Lao in Jianghu. Gui Lao has been living in seclusion in that valley in order to concentrate on studying the art of medicine and poison. I supply medicinal materials every month. Last night I found that he has not contacted my people for two or three months.
I became suspicious. If he was controlled by someone, then the poison in Gongxi Chun's hands was likely to come from him, so I wanted to confirm it myself."
Si Yiluo thought of the corpses in the forest and asked, "Does he know your identity?"
Zhou Zhan shook his head.
"Out of caution, I only told him that I was a medicine merchant. Gui Lao didn't know, and those people probably didn't know either. But Gui Lao has seen my true face."
In front of an expert hermit who is good at medicine and poison, his disguise technique can be easily seen through.
He was just asking for help, and his true identity could be concealed, but if he even concealed his appearance, Mr. Gui wouldn't help him.
"He is not considered one of my people. We each get what we need."
Master hermits don't like red tape. If he tells his true identity, the ghost boss may even kick him out.
Si Yiluo analyzed: "Those people last night probably just wanted to stay there to kill people and silence them. I'll leave the rest to the officials. Your Highness should go back home to recuperate."
Zhou Zhan sipped his tea and chuckled: "I heard the conversation of those people in the forest, and they mentioned a certain person."
He dipped his fingers in tea and wrote the word "Ge Lao" on the table.
Si Yiluo's eyebrows were filled with surprise.
"Okay, I will investigate."
If there is no evidence, what he said is a frame-up. These two words provided her with new clues and new directions for investigation.
Si Yiluo suggested: "Your Highness can ask the princess for help."
Regardless of whether the Ge Lao mentioned by those people last night was Bo'an or Bao Fan, these two people have been in high positions for many years and are as cunning as foxes who have been practicing for thousands of years. She can easily scare off the snake with a few gentle words of temptation.
If not all those people in the forest were arrested today, the other party would probably know that she was involved and would be on guard against her.
But the people in the back house may not have this intention.
The two pavilion bosses, Bo Bao, are both married to the prince. Bo Wanping, Bao Wanyu and Shen Moran are "close friends" and sisters-in-law. They have many opportunities to get along with each other and are easy to deal with.
Zhou Zhan was dumbfounded. The commotion he made this time would definitely not be hidden from his family. Shen Moran was extremely smart. Now he needed her help again. He was afraid he would have to bow his head this time.
Si Yiluo saw his concerns and laughed and said: "Perhaps Your Highness can try to break through the guard and have a good talk with the Princess. She is a trustworthy person."
Zhou Zhan is used to being cautious, and he has never had anyone very trustworthy around him. He is afraid of being betrayed. He almost died because of this in the past. Therefore, he always treats the people around him cautiously and cautiously.
"Don't stop eating because of choking." Si Yiluo added again, "A king is most jealous of jealousy. The king and his ministers are alienated. What the court is like today, even though His Highness is not in the court, he must be able to understand."
Emperor Yao no longer paid attention to the character and ability of officials when employing people. Instead, he weighed multiple parties and did not allow any one party to dominate. By this method, he held the entire court in the palm of his hand.
"I speak from the bottom of my heart. I only hope that Your Highness will be a wise king in the future."
Zhou Zhan stood up and cupped his hands and said: "It is an honor for me to have a capable minister like Sir Si to assist me. I will consider Sir Si's proposal carefully. Thank you very much!"
One autumn rain and another cold, the thin raindrops made ripples in the puddles on the ground.
The hidden moon comes in a hurry.
"Princess, Your Highness Prince Yu is here to visit the prince!"
Why is he here at this time? I'm afraid he's coming with bad intentions.
Shen Moran ordered: "Bring the people to the living room first, and say that His Highness has just fallen asleep after drinking medicine. I will change my clothes and go over. You go and report to Mr. Si in person and ask when His Highness will be back!"
Yinyue stepped out and walked out. After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and her scalp felt tight.
He didn't say anything, how come his princess knew everything?
Shen Moran asked wickedly: "Do you have any other questions?"
Yinyue hurriedly replied: "Go back to the princess, no problem, I will go right now!"
