Chapter 165: The First Case of the Imperial Capital
"It's so exciting, it's so exciting, it's so exciting, I've never been as excited as I am today!"
On the speeding carriage, Zheng Wang had been knocked unconscious by Xu Xun's signal to Shen Yue, and the driver in front was Liu Jin. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao naturally had no scruples at all. He was laughing and shouting there, even speaking incoherently. . Seeing that the young prince was already so agitated that he couldn't keep his straight face, Xu Xun had to cough heavily, and then said in a deep voice: "When the matter reaches this point, Miss Shen will not be able to intervene next. Do you think it is right?" Put her down first on the way?"
"ah"
Zhu Houzhao woke up with a start, glanced at Shen Yue, hesitated again, and finally looked at Xu Xun for a long time. At this moment, Xu Xun couldn't care less about whether the clever little girl knew what it was like, and he He stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Today's matter is not trivial. If people find out that Miss Shen was involved in it, she doesn't have such a strong backer. I'm afraid she will lose her skin by then."
"Okay." Zhu Houzhao finally nodded reluctantly, glanced at Shen Yue and said with a smile, "Sister, I'll take you back first..."
"Don't send me off, just drop me off at the intersection. I can hire a car myself!" Shen Yue thought to herself that she was brave enough when she was in Nanjing, but she thought that today she actually made a big fuss at the Princess Renhe's mansion. , she felt a wave of fear at this moment, and glared angrily at the two people across from her, who were about the same age but were exactly the same boldness. Round and round!"
"Of course it's not in vain for sister to help me so much!" Zhu Houzhao rubbed it back and forth on his body. In the end, he touched the mutton-fat jade pendant around his waist. He pulled it off and held it in front of Shen Yue with both hands. He said sincerely, "Sister, please accept this thank you gift..." Seeing that Shen Yue's face was not good, he immediately changed his words and said, "No, no, no, it's not a thank you gift, it's a little bit of my thoughts. You can keep it for me." It’s just a souvenir, but it’s not worth much money!”
"How much is it worth? Just such a jade pendant can last a lifetime for ordinary people!" After saying this, Shen Yue finally reached out to take it, and then couldn't help but start teaching him a lesson just like when they first met, but it was He said word for word, "In short, it's time to admit your mistake to your parents and elders when you get home. Don't be stubborn. They all love and care about you. Don't be too rude. You will know how uncomfortable you are if you don't hear them one day." You have run away from home, and everyone is in a state of panic. Your family is rich, and those servants will be beaten for this. If they become resentful, it will not be good for you in the future."
"Okay, I get it now……"
Listening to Shen Yue's soft words, Zhu Houzhao's expression changed and he nodded slightly. Even Xu Xun could hear the guilt and longing in the little girl's heart and couldn't bear it. Zhu Shi reached out and shook her hand gently, then nodded and called out: "Lao Liu, stop at the street."
"okay!"
Liu Jin had been in the palace for many years and had done almost every job. Except for being a flatterer, the one he was most comfortable with was driving a carriage. The former allowed him to escape certain death, and he was recommended by Li Guang, the powerful eunuch at the time, to serve as the prince. Zhu Houzhao; the latter asked Zhu Houzhao to take him with him almost every time he sneaked out of the palace. Just like this thrilling moment, his participation was indispensable. And from this seat, he could hear every word said in the carriage. It was clear, so he agreed readily at this moment, but he was once again sure in his heart that the man and woman inside were determined to be friends for a long time in the future.
The prince has never trusted an outsider so much, and has never been so kind to a woman... The screams of sister are really dull. It is obvious that he and Zhang Yong took the prince to visit the theater too much!
Shen Yue was put down at the intersection, and seeing the figure quickly disappearing into the crowd, Xu Xun let out a long breath, then looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Highness, next, let's go to Beizhen Fusi.
"What?" Zhu Houzhao shouted immediately, "It's so easy to catch such a guy, why don't we try it ourselves, but hand it over to Beizhen Fusi? No, I don't want them to get involved!"
"Your Highness, you need to know that I just took out Beizhen Fusi's sign at Princess Renhe's Mansion. They will definitely come to Beizhen Fusi. Besides, after interrogating this person, what are you going to do, Your Highness? Even so. If you want to kill or behead, then Beizhen Fusi has to come out immediately. Your Highness can't reveal the matter at the court meeting? If it's not Beizhen Fusi, why don't we go to Dongchang?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jin's irritable voice came from outside: "Absolutely not! Your Highness, that old guy Wang Yue of Dongchang is the worst person to deal with. When the time comes, he will definitely report to the emperor and drive us all out of the East Palace. Maybe we’ll even sweep in Crown Prince Xu!”
"this……"
Liu Jin had always been deeply loved, and Xu Xun was now deeply trusted by him. Zhu Houzhao suddenly hesitated. At this time, Xu Xun had to strike while the iron was hot and said: "If His Highness wants to personally interrogate, that is not a bad idea. Let's go to the back street of Jinyiwei. Stop for a moment. I will ask Li Yifeng and Li Qianhu, who you have dealt with before, to come forward. Call Mr. Ye up and ask them to find a few confidants. We are not in Beizhen Fusi, but find another secret one. How about putting him on trial at the local level?"
"Okay, let's do it!"
Zhu Houzhao thought about it and felt that although this method was a compromise, it was not in vain. He had spent so much effort to get rid of his cronies and left the palace, and he immediately nodded vigorously. At this moment, Xu in the car Xun Xun and Liu Jin who were outside the car both breathed a sigh of relief. One leaned on the wall to recover from the loss of brain power for half a day, and the other raised his spirits and waved his riding whip twice. Then, there was only one carriage on the street. Speeding by with lightning speed.
Turning into Jinyiwei Back Street from Dongjiangmi Lane, Xu Xun, who opened the curtains, keenly felt that there seemed to be a tense atmosphere here, and his heart couldn't help but move. Sure enough, as soon as the car stopped in front of Fusi Gate in Beizhen, he He saw Li Yifeng hurried out with several Jinyi captains angrily. He immediately opened the car curtain, opened the door, jumped out, and called out to Li Qianhu. The next moment, he saw Li Yifeng's eyes widening, and he was actually... He rushed forward in a few steps and grabbed his wrist.
"It's really hard to find anywhere without trying to find a place. It takes no effort to get here! You came at the right time. I have something to ask you!"
Li Yifeng didn't recognize Liu Jin, who was wearing a bamboo hat. He dragged Xu Xun aside without any reason, and then asked in a low voice: "I heard that you and His Highness are the best. Do you know where His Highness has been? Those days A eunuch who often follows the prince out of the palace is said to have lost his highness. Others went to your house to look for him, but in vain. Now only one is still waiting there, and some of the others are looking for him all over the streets. Some people came to our Jinyiwei for help, and the adults were also shocked!"
Knowing that it was indeed Zhu Houzhao who had alerted him here, Xu Xun pondered for a moment, then broke away from Li Yifeng's hand, pulled him to the side of the carriage, and pushed him in without saying a word. He let out a surprise when he saw Li Yifeng enter.
With a soft cry of surprise, he followed him into the car. When Liu Jin closed the car door, he also lowered the car curtain.
As soon as Li Yifeng got in the car and saw Zhu Houzhao, he was immediately relieved of his anxiety. But when he saw the old man curled up and tied into a ball on the ground of the carriage, he was immediately confused again and couldn't figure out what was going on.
. He was about to salute Zhu Houzhao, but the prince waved his hand at him angrily, then nuzzled his lips to Xu Xun and said: "Xu Xun, tell him."
Knowing that Li Yifeng was a veteran of Beizhen Fusi, Xu Xun came over and briefly explained today's events in just a few words, but skipped over the most critical part in a vague way. Even so, Li Yifeng still never pretended to be the emperor.
There was an element of intrigue in the word "ki". He took a deep breath, suddenly raised his head and cupped his hand towards Zhu Houzhao.
"Your Highness, this matter is very important. I have to go see my family first."
"Yes, but you have to ask Xu Xun to follow you!" What Zhu Houzhao fears most is that Li Yifeng agrees on one side, but sends someone to inform his father on the other side. Then all his hard work over the past few days will be in vain.
After saying this, he didn't forget to add, "If you dare to leak any information about Lu, I won't be able to forgive you in the future!"
"Yes, yes, your highness, don't worry."
Li Yifeng smiled wryly and nodded repeatedly. After pulling Xu Xun out of the car and instructing several Jinyi captains to guard the carriage on the spot, he and Xu Xun entered the Fusi gate of Beizhen. Although some people cast surprised glances along the way.
However, he also had great authority in Beizhen Fusi, and no one dared to question it. When he stood at the door of the signing room where Ye Guang worked, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xu Xun.
"Prince Xu, the name you just reported at Princess Renhe's mansion was Beizhen Fusi's name?"
"Yes, it's urgent, but I can't do anything..."
"Stop explaining, I still know my priorities." Li Yifeng waved his hands, then rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, and then sighed and said, "I'm afraid Master Ye will also be grateful to you later.
No matter what, if it hadn't been for you this time, our Beizhen Fusi would have been really embarrassed! Such a big thing actually had to be caused by His Highness the Crown Prince himself before we knew about it. This is simply not a shame... Lian Lizi
All lost!”
After seeing Ye Guang state what had happened, and watching the leader of Beizhen Fusi go from shock to anger, and then from anger to calmness, Xu Xun almost understood what Li Yifeng meant by his words.
Sure enough, Ye Guang walked out of the door without saying a word. After summoning a dozen people in a deep voice, he only told him that they were going to handle a confidential matter, and then looked at him.
"Beizhen Fusi has a courtyard to the west of Wang Gongchang, which is specially used to handle emergency cases. Just go there." Seeing Xu Xun nodded, Ye Guang had a wry smile on his face, "I will give you the waist that day.
Cards are just a little bit of my love for talent. Who knew it could be used to such a wonderful effect? I finally made the right move!"
