Prostitution

Xu Jingyun was very worried.

It has been a while since they have been monitoring Jingzhao Mansion in shifts, but they haven't seen even half a thief.

The emperor asked him to pay attention to King Huai Jing's actions outside the mansion, just such a sentence, there is no reason.

He was puzzled.

King Huaijing rarely saw him wandering away from the mansion except for going to court and Dali Temple. It was a rare time when he went out of the city and he didn't dare to follow him too closely. Later, when he went to the wilderness, he didn't find anything unusual.

But the lies that can be spread must be round and solid.

Right now, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is also involved, and their obsession with arresting He Pingzhang is deeper than his.

He was promoted step by step to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and there was a lot of darkness in the officialdom, and he was ashamed and had no one to talk to.Speaking of which, as the minister of Dali Temple, the prince rewarded him for his meritorious service in doing things impartially, and he was not dismissed for his diligence and hard work. He was regarded as his Bole, and that was all.

Talking about being idle, he remembered that what Wen Wuyu said was not unreasonable.Liu Shen's origin is mysterious, perhaps there is an ulterior secret behind it.

Having known this Mr. Qu for a long time, he could see that he was friendly and open-minded. On the prince's birthday, he even took the risk to rescue him. He vaguely felt that this person was trustworthy.

Qu Tongyin was sipping tea leisurely, seeing Xu Jingyun's frowning and stretching, and letting out a few inaudible sighs, he secretly laughed in his heart, this Master Xu's city is really easy to see.

Xu Jingyun was on duty today, and stayed at the Ministry of Punishment after a cup of tea.

Qu Tongyin coughed to break the silence, "Master Xu has something on his mind? Why don't you tell me about it."

Xu Jingyun came back to his senses, subconsciously said, "No, no."

Qu Tongyin put the lid on the cup and got up to sweep his clothes, obviously displeased, "Forget it, Mr. Xu, please do yourself, I'm going home."

Xu Jingyun hurriedly stood up, he owed Mr. Qu a favor, and he never once used this as an excuse.

"Master Qu, stop, I... really have some doubts."

Qu Tongyin glanced at him, "Are you sure?"

Xu Jingyun repeatedly invited him to a seat, but Qu Tongyin went straight to the guest seat, and the two faced each other across the tea table.

"Master Qu, do you know about Master Jing Zhaoyin's background?"

"Why do you ask this?"

Xu Jingyun pondered for a while, and then said, "That He Pingzhang is a man in the Jianghu, offending the government for a few hundred taels of government money, the gain outweighs the gain. I think there is something hidden behind it."

Qu Tongyin thought for a while and asked, "Yes, it doesn't make sense, how did you think of it?"

Xu Jingyun dodged his eyes, "Jingzhao Mansion is calm these days, maybe we should look in another direction."

Qu Tongyin nodded frequently, "That makes sense, do you think Master Liu has a problem?"

"I'm not sure, Master Qu knows his background?"

Qu Tongyin was silent for a while, listening to him after a while,

"I know a thing or two, but you have to tell me why you want to check his background. It stands to reason that if Mr. Liu has a problem, you should check his official style for malfeasance."

Xu Jingyun was stunned, and after thinking about it, he said vaguely, "I mentioned this matter to others, and until now there has been no progress in He Pingzhang's case, so I just thought of the few words he said casually."

Qu Tongyin tentatively asked, "Could that man be Mr. Wen?"

Xu Jingyun was surprised for a moment, turned his eyes away and did not answer.

Qu Tongyin understood, so he stopped asking, "Master Liu was originally the steward of the former imperial censor's mansion. About seven years ago, the Wenfu in the south of the Yangtze River was razed to the ground overnight. He was the only one who was unscathed. The rest, I also Not sure."

Xu Jingyun was horrified after hearing this, for Mr. Liu was actually involved in a massacre of extermination.Seven years ago, he was a small soldier in Dali Temple, yet such a big case was completely covered up.

"This matter is taboo in the imperial court, as long as you know it, you must not spread it to the outside world, you will be beheaded." Seeing him stunned, Qu Tongyin added another sentence.

Xu Jingyun nodded cautiously, "Could there be any survivors in the Wen family?"

"No way, if there is, I should ask Lord Liu to find out what happened. Do you doubt He Pingzhang?"

"It's not impossible. If he is a close friend or survivor of the Wen family, he broke into the Jingzhao Mansion and interrogated Mr. Liu, and after that he was nowhere to be found, then the whole thing would make sense."

Qu Tongyin nodded, "If that's the case, this case cannot be investigated any further."

"Everything is just speculation. If someone survives, there will be clues. It seems that we have to go to Jiangnan to confirm."

"Master Xu is going?"

"I can't leave the capital..." Xu Jingyun realized that he had slipped his tongue, and hurriedly said, "Jingzhao Mansion has to watch over there, I'll send someone there."

Qu Tongyin smiled, "Master Xu think twice, if the emperor finds out, I'm afraid you'll get caught in the fire. In my opinion, it's best not to go."

Xu Jingyun fell into deep thought, weighing again and again to no avail, "Then what should we do, close the case here?"

A cunning flashed in Qu Tongyin's eyes, and he suggested, "Why don't you ask Mr. Liu again in the name of investigating the case to see if he has any contact with Na He Pingzhang?"

Xu Jingyun readily agreed.

The two went to Jingzhao Mansion together to find out about Mr. Liu's reputation.

Halfway through the journey, suddenly a commoner came up to the two horses, and bowed to Xu Jingyun with arms folded, "My lord."

This person was Xu Jingyun's confidant who was sent to pay attention to the palace when it was inconvenient.

This confidant was as upright as he was, because it was rare for the prince to see him go out to play, so he was eager to report back.

Xu Jingyun was busy winking, but it was a pity that his confidant stared at him for a long time and couldn't understand.

Qu Tongyin had seven orifices in his heart, kicked the horse's belly to avoid it, and said in a strange voice, "I'll take a step first."

Xu Jingyun felt more guilty than before, and stopped him with a stalk of the neck, "Master Qu," he turned around and said to his confidant angrily, "What's the matter, tell me quickly."

The confidant touched his head, "My lord went to Wangjiang Tower, and now we are going in the direction of Jingzhao Mansion."

"Got it." Xu Jingyun waved him back impatiently.

Qu Tongyin was not afraid to speak out, and then asked, "You actually spy on the prince? Why?"

Xu Jingyun lacked confidence, and said in a low voice, "The emperor ordered, I don't know why? I don't dare to ask, I can only follow orders."

Qu Tongyin secretly smiled, knowing that he was telling the truth, "Be careful yourself."

People like Xu Jingyun don't know how to make friends by themselves, as long as you grab his pigtails and sell him some favors, he can treat you as a friend.

A group of four in this compartment got out of the carriage near Jingzhao Mansion.

Before entering the mansion, I heard a sound of horseshoes.

"My lord, Mr. Wen."

Xu Jingyun stole a glance at Wen Wuyu, then stood behind Qu Tongyin, his eyelids drooping slightly and his eyes fixed.

As a result, the yamen servants hiding around appeared one after another, kneeling down and saluting collectively.

Yuan Cheng teased, "Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment have nothing to do to protect Jingzhao Mansion?"

Qu Tongyin hurriedly replied, "The lord ordered the subordinates to assist He Pingzhang's case. The subordinates dare not be negligent. The only clue to follow is the Jingzhao Mansion, so they sent people to monitor it day and night."

Yuan Cheng glanced at the plainclothes yamen servants standing in rows, "Will you be rewarded if you wait for more than a month?"

Qu Tongyin muttered and couldn't speak, Xu Jingyun stepped forward and said, "Return to the lord, I suspect that Mr. Liu and He Pingzhang have known each other for a long time, so I came to ask."

Hearing this, Yuancheng's pupils shrank.

Qu Tongyin turned around and motioned the government servants to retreat, and then said, "It's just a guess, there is no evidence."

Yuan Cheng said calmly, "Tell me and listen."

Xu Jingyun hurriedly said, "The lower officials have found out that Mr. Liu is related to the massacre of the Wen family. He Pingzhang may be a survivor of the Wen family."

Yuan Cheng raised his eyebrows and approached Xu Jingyun, "Who told you about the massacre?"

Xu Jingyun was forced to retreat under a wave of pressure, "Your official..."

"Back to the lord, it's the officials talking too much." Qu Tongyin helped him out.

Yuan Cheng took a step back and glanced over, his brows and eyes curved like a moon, and he said with a smile, "I'm afraid you've been busy for nothing, and no one from the Wen family will survive."

"Why is your lord so sure?"

When Xu Jingyun asked a question, Qu Tongyin also looked suspicious.

"Because I was the one who wiped out the Wen family."

Yuan Cheng turned to look at Wen Wuyu with a smile, and waved to him.

Wen Wuyu greeted him with a smile,

"Strange, why don't Master Liu come out to pick you up?"

Wen Qu interjected, "Official airs are really big, let me just say, being an official has a small mind."

Yuan Cheng glanced at him, "Me too?"

"Of course not. There are so many lords, so how could they have any sense?" Wen Qu hurriedly flattered.

"You say I'm short-sighted?"

The song and lyrics were poor, and I froze in place for a while.

Wen Wuyu rolled his eyes, "Shut your mouth."

Yuan Cheng smiled brightly, hugged Wen Wuyu and walked towards the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.

Here the two looked at each other.The lives of more than [-] people were taken lightly by the prince's words, and he made fun of the male pet in a blink of an eye, how cruel he was.

When Fang arrived at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, a group of guards fled in embarrassment, covered with seven-star darts.

Immediately there were shouts.

"There are assassins!"

The surrounding yamen servants moved when they heard the sound.

Immediately afterwards, another rain of darts flew out from the mansion.

Yuan Cheng flicked his sleeves, several seven-star darts fell to the ground, and then he dodged, leading Wen Wuyu behind the wall.

Wen Qu was stabbed in the leg, lying on the ground and screaming.

Lian Qi, who came after him, quickly dragged Wen Qu behind the goal post.

The seven-star dart flew again.

A guard who failed to escape in time was hanging on the threshold and struggling. Yuan Cheng leaned forward, dragged him over, grabbed his collar, and asked sharply,

"How many assassins are there?"

"Two, two... They hijacked Mr. Liu and ordered me not to make a sound. The other person has already gone to the back door..."

"Hide well." Yuan Cheng threw away the guards, said three words, and suddenly disappeared.

Lian Qi hurriedly followed.

The rain of darts suddenly stopped.

Xu Jingyun led the crowd into the mansion.

Hedgehogs groaned softly all over the ground, but Wen Qu kept wailing,

"Master, master, I'm going to die... Hurry up and save me..."

Wen Wuyu slapped him, "Stop screaming, there is no poison on the dart, you can't die."

If he was going to die, he would definitely not be the first to die.

Qu Tongyin was more amiable, checked his wound, and comforted him, "It's okay, it didn't hit a vital point."

Wen Qu was still pitiful, "It hurts a lot, could it be a chronic poison, help me pull it out quickly."

As soon as the words were finished, there were intermittent huh-huh sounds one after another, Wen Wuyu looked around and was amused.

Those guards lying on the ground pulled out the seven-star darts on their bodies one after another.

Qu Tongyin also laughed, "Don't act recklessly, the dart is pulled out at the vital point, if you can't stop the bleeding in time, you may really lose your life."

Wen Qu immediately changed his mind, "Then I'll bear with it and call a doctor for me."

Wen Wuyu suddenly squatted down and let out a ghostly cry.

Wen Qu was terrified, and when he looked again, he saw that Wen Wuyu cheerfully threw a bloody seven-star dart on the ground, and with a snort, he tore off a strip of white cloth from his clothes, and wrapped it around his calf.

The assassin was so good at lightness, Yuan Cheng ordered Lian Qi to continue after after chasing him for a while.

Hearing a scream, he hurried out of the mansion, and saw Wen Qu dancing wildly with his feet and fists,

"Scare me again, and let you have nothing to eat!"

Wen Wuyu dodged left and right, saw the prince approaching out of the corner of his eye, and hurriedly stood up straight, "My lord, the assassin has escaped?"

Yuan Cheng didn't answer him, "Master Qu, I'll leave the rest to you."

The song is the same sound and bows to lead the order.

Then he asked Wen Qu, "Can you go, if not, let your master carry it on your back."

"I can walk, I can walk, I don't need to carry..."

Yuan Cheng secretly smiled, and walked slowly.

Wen Wuyu followed behind with his head held high, while Wen Qu limped along with his injured leg.

The setting sun in the sky is sinking to the west, the sun is shining, the red glow is shining, and the earth is like a red dress.
