He was just waiting to see what would happen to this man.

the other side.

Emperor Taihe returned to Chengtian Palace and directly summoned Lu Xuan, the commander of the Black Kirin Guard.

He looked straight at Lu Xuan and suddenly asked, "Lu Xuan, can I trust you?"

Lu Xuan's heart trembled, and he quickly leaned forward respectfully, saying firmly: "Your Majesty, I swear to be loyal to you until death!"

Emperor Taihe then said, "Very well, I will trust you. Go and find out whose son this Xu Maochun is. This time Luo Zheng's attack is related to the Cheng'en Mansion."

Lu Xuan was shocked, but he didn't dare show any strange expression on his face. He just said in a deep voice: "I obey your command!"

Emperor Taihe then warned: "Investigate secretly and don't let anyone know. You are investigating the Cheng'en Mansion."

Lu Xuan became more cautious: "Yes!"

After he left, Emperor Taihe's face darkened, and he half-closed his eyes and said quietly, "You'd better not let me down."

The next morning, Xie Xiu had breakfast with his family as usual, and then took a carriage to the Imperial College.

After arriving, he did not go in directly, but walked into a bookstore outside the Imperial College.

This bookstore was opened by Luo Zheng. It can monitor the Imperial College and make money. Now it also comes in handy for Xie Xiu.

With Xie Xiu's identity, frequent visits to a place like the Treasure Pavilion would obviously arouse suspicion.

The bookstore opened outside the Imperial College was different.

As a student of the Imperial College, it was normal for Xie Xiu to go in and out of the bookstore.

He doesn't just go into this bookstore, he also often visits other nearby bookstores.

The reason he came here today was to see if Luo Zheng had arranged for someone to deliver a message to him.

When Luo Zheng entered Beijing yesterday, it was almost evening.

Xie Xiu also returned home from the Imperial College.

If you come to a bookstore, it's bound to be a little suspicious.

That's why he came this morning.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the bookstore, the clerk inside immediately came up to him and said, "Mr. Xie, there are some problems with the book you copied last time. Please come upstairs with me and take a look at it yourself."

When Xie Xiu heard this, he knew that the other party really had something to say to him, so he followed him to the private room upstairs.

Sure enough, after the waiter took him into the private room, he handed him a small scroll and asked him to burn it immediately after reading it.

Xie Xiu opened it and saw that the handwriting on the paper was Luo Zheng's.

However, Luo Zheng didn't say much. He simply said that he was injured and is recovering well now, so he doesn't need to worry.

Later, Luo Zheng wrote about his meeting with Xie Jia this time.

Just as Xie Xiu guessed yesterday, Xie Jia and Pei Rong deliberately appeared in front of the Black Kirin Guards, claiming that Xie Jia was first taken out of the capital by kidnappers and then rescued by Pei Rong.

The two were worried that the kidnappers would catch up with them, so they asked to follow the Black Kirin Guards back to the capital.

After Luo Zheng knew Xie Jia's identity, he guessed that the two were plotting, so he took advantage of the situation, brought them back to the capital, and deliberately helped them spread the news.

Not only that, Pei Rong is also a juren, handsome and extraordinary, and is preparing to take part in the spring examination next year.

After reading it, Xie Xiu burned the paper and completely understood Pei Rong's plan.

This man was a juren, but he eloped with Xie Jia. It was obvious that he came from an ordinary family, but he was ambitious. However, he had no guarantee of passing the imperial examination next spring.

Otherwise, if he could pass the imperial examination, with his good looks, it would not be difficult for him to marry a noble lady even if his family background was ordinary.

Why resort to such dishonorable means and take such huge risks to abduct Xie Jia and elope?

Xie Xiu thought about it and decided to find an opportunity to meet Pei Rong in person and find out more about this man.

Unexpectedly, before he went to find the other party, the other party took the initiative to find him.

As Xie Xiu came out of the bookstore, he saw a young and handsome man suddenly look at him intently, then stride towards him.

Xie Xiu raised his eyebrows and almost immediately guessed the identity of this person.

Sure enough, the man strode up to him, bowed, and then asked with concern, "Are you the eldest son of Master Xie?"
