Card Room

Chapter 170 Chapter 19

All of Yu Hanjiang's conjectures are theoretical conjectures. The actual evidence is actually only the rag clasped in Lin Shaobo's hand—a rag that is the same color and material as the guard's clothes. Physical evidence.

Thinking of this, Yu Hanjiang looked at Long Sen and said, "How many suits does the guard of the palace have?"

Long Sen said, "Everyone made two sets of clothes of the same color and style for changing."

Yu Hanjiang said, "You are the head guard of the royal palace. When you go back, you will immediately call all the guards and check their clothes carefully. There is another set of clothes worn on your body to change and see who has a piece of clothes missing or has a patchwork. Passing marks. "

Long Sen nodded immediately. "I understand. I'll check it."

Regardless of the mastermind behind the scenes, it is most likely that Wang Shaobo was killed by the guard of the palace directly, otherwise, Lin Shaobo would not tear off a piece of cloth on the opponent's sleeve in the struggle. Finding the killer from the clue of physical evidence is the safest way at present.

In order to find out if the Eighteen Lords were involved in the rebellion, Yu Hanjiang decided to return to the Yu family in Jiangzhou to ask his grandfather who was old. According to the setting, his grandfather once held high office as prime minister and later resigned to return to his hometown. Yu Hanjiang also grew up with his grandfather in Jiangzhou.

Yu Hanjiang was a companion for a period of time when he was a child. In this world, his age is similar to that of his prince, that is, his Majesty, and he is in his early twenties. The grandfather is about the same age as the emperor, and he is over 70 years old. His elderly may know some secrets.

At noon that day, Yu Hanjiang took Xiao Lou back to the Yu family.

Yu Hanjiang's father did not take a career. He spent all day chanting and painting, and became an idle literati. He has always lived in Jiangzhou. When Yu Hanjiang entered Beijing to rush to take the test, his father had stopped him. Unfortunately, Yu Hanjiang was stubborn and took a **** exam to return to the top.

The Yu family lives on the outskirts of Jiangzhou. The whole courtyard is quiet and quaint.

Stepping into the house, Yu Hanjiang also gave birth to a sense of familiarity. After all, he grew up here in the plot setting.

The guard at the door saw him with a surprised look, and said with excitement, "Master, Madam come back? If you are young, please report!"

Yu Hanjiang nodded his head and gently embraced Xiao Lou's shoulder into the courtyard. The two came to the hall along Qingshiban Road, and their parents had already rushed over to receive the news. Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou saluted the elders together.

Although these two are not Yu Hanjiang's true parents, they are just the characters set in the plot. They can be suddenly brought back to "see the parents." Xiao Lou still feels awkward, and can only brace his head to accompany Yu Hanjiang to perform. . "

Yu Father asked, "Han Jiang, when did you come to Jiangzhou to take office? Why haven't you been around at home?"

Yu Hanjiang explained, "When my baby first arrived in Jiangzhou, there was a lot of official work to deal with. These days are very busy. I just took some time to go home today. Father, mother, how good are you?"

Yu mother smiled and said, "I and your father are all right, but you two, haven't seen each other in three years, seems to have lost weight?" She looked at Xiao Lou, with a kind face. "Small building, you followed Hanjiang in Kyoto, yes Aren't you suffering a lot? "

Xiao Loudao "Mother, don't say that. The husband is busy in Kyoto, and I should be with him."

He felt numb in this line, but he still had to play it hard.

Yu Hanjiang quickly shifted the topic "Where is Grandpa? Why isn't he at home?"

Father Yu said, "Your grandpa goes fishing in the mountains every day. He's not back yet."

Mother Yu looked at Xiao Lou, and Wen Yan said, "Just stay at home for dinner, and let the kitchen prepare some delicious food for you."

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang chat with their parents for a while.

Until lunchtime, Grandpa came back with a fishing rod and a fishing basket. There were several freshly caught fish in his fishing basket. When the grandson and granddaughter returned, the old man narrowed his eyes with a smile and smiled. Let the fish stew the soup.

Xiao Lou stayed in the side hall to talk to Yu's mother, while Yu Hanjiang found a chance to tell grandpa to study alone.

He told his grandfather briefly what happened in the palace.

Don't look at Grandpa Yu's age, but his mental condition is very good. When I heard that someone was dead in the palace, the old man frowned slightly and touched his long beard. He said, "This is not easy. You need to investigate carefully, but you must learn to protect yourself. If you don't know, you should pretend you don't know. So as not to cause yourself trouble. "

Listening to Grandpa's intentions, Yu Hanjiang whispered, "Grandpa, you have been the Prime Minister of the Emperor for more than ten years. Why did the Emperor pass the throne to the grandson instead of the emperor?"

Grandpa Yu sighed softly, "Well ... this is a long story, and Xian Huang did it as a last resort."

Yu Hanjiang sat next to him and listened carefully, "A last resort? What is the reason?"

Grandpa Yu said, "The first emperor's knees were thin, many princes died shortly after they were born. Only five princes survived, only the eldest prince, three princes, five princes, six princes, and eight princes. The eldest prince is the eldest son and the main palace The queen was born, and the emperor most favored the eldest prince, and he was made the prince when he was still in the middle of his death. "

Thinking of the events of that year, a bit of sorrow appeared on the face of the grandfather. "The prince is brilliant, well-mannered, humble and easy to learn. Ministers also think that he will be the best candidate for succession. However, he is twenty years old. When I went out hunting that year, I was injured by a poisoned arrow and died on the spot. After investigation, it was found that the three princes were actually sent by his majesty, and his anger gave him a glass of poisonous wine. "

Yu Hanjiang froze. "It turned out that the three princes assassinated His Royal Highness? His Majesty gave him death in anger?"

Grandpa Yu said, "Yeah, the secret of the royal family is not easy to spread. After the death of the prince, the prince's seat was temporarily vacated. His lord wanted to inspect the other princes before making a decision, but it didn't take long for the queen to die. Later, the investigation revealed that it was actually Shu Fei's actions. She had poisoned and killed the queen, Ming Fei had poisoned Shu Fei, and involved the forces behind the fifth and sixth princes. "

"The concubines in the harem, in order to fight for the favor, were so hot that they made the emperor frustrated, so the emperor made a secret secret, and one day after the collapse, he let all the concubines bury him."

After listening to this story, Yu Hanjiang was also thrilled. He thought carefully, saying, "The three princes were given poison wine by the emperor, and five or six princes joined their mother-in-law to seize power, but the eighth prince ... that is, the eighth prince did not participate in the fight for the crown prince. Why didn't Xiandi consider making him Chu? "

Grandpa Yu smiled and said, "The eighth prince is the most thorough person. Among the emperors of the first emperor, he was very knowledgeable and talented. He was also the best candidate for Chu. When the first emperor consulted us, Everyone suggested the eighth emperor. However, when the first emperor was determined to make the eighth emperor Chu, he took the initiative to make a memorial, suggesting that the first emperor set the rules, and in the future, he would only pass on the cripples from the queen. If the eldest son is to be passed on again, the order must not be disturbed, so as to avoid the dispute between the princes of Chu and the future. "

Historically, it is not uncommon for the blood to bleed because of the fight for Chu. The eighth prince apparently understood the principle of "protecting himself by wise philosophy". At that time, he and his mother-in-law had no right or power. If His Majesty made him a prince, he would become the next scapegoat and be suppressed by the five or six princes. At that time, was he really powerless, or was he the best time to be a pig and eat a tiger?

Grandpa's next statement gave Yu Hanjiang the answer: "In the year the emperor died, the prince took over. At that time, the prince was only eighteen years old. The fifth and sixth princes stood up to force the palace. The eighth prince assisted the prince. However, he had a long-term vision. He had expected that the two uncles would not be at peace, and they would make arrangements in advance when the emperor was seriously ill. Poor two princes, who despised the young nephew too much, were thrown in the palace. He was shot dead, and His Majesty finally found a reason for his death and buried them. "

Yu Hanjiang "..."

At that time, Yu Hanjiang, who had just been admitted to the No. 1 spot, was unaware of it. Now he heard Grandpa's words and realized it.

Many of the struggles in the palace are secrets that cannot be shared. Although Grandpa lived in Jiangzhou in seclusion, there were several senior officials in the court who were proud masters of his father. He had his own source.

When Yu Hanjiang heard this, he couldn't help but wonder-if the Eight Prince really wanted to rebel, wouldn't it have been easier for him to rebel when the prince had just ascended the throne and his status was not stable? Why help the prince calm the rebellion of the other two kings?

Now that the prince has been on the throne for four years, most of the court officials are very convinced of His Majesty, and His Majesty has gradually cultivated his cronies. The Eighth Lord wants to rebel and has missed the best opportunity.

Isn't the eighth prince really an idle prince who only loves beauty and has no intention of doing politics?

Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly and lost his thoughts.

Grandpa Yu said with emotion, "Being in the royal family is sometimes involuntary. In the harem fight of that year, many concubines, princes and princesses strangled to death, and the eighth grandpa and nine princesses were one of her relatives."

Yu Hanjiang suddenly remembered His Majesty's secret letter to the Eighth Lord ...

Is it wrong to guess?

Just as his mother asked for a meal, Yu Hanjiang helped the elderly grandfather to pass by.

The family had a reunion dinner around the dining table, and Yu Hanjiang chatted with his parents for a while, and then took Xiao Lou to leave.

After leaving the Yu family, Xiao Lou smiled and asked, "How's it? Is there any gain from this trip?"

Yu Hanjiang whispered, "Our reasoning may be wrong again."

Xiao Loudao "You mean, Lord Eight is not suspected of rebellion?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded. "According to Grandpa's description, the eighth lord is not like that kind of person. It is said that when the emperor died and the prince succeeded, the five and six lords joined forces to force the palace. It was His Majesty and eighth lord who calmed down the rebellion. All the grandfathers were shot dead in the palace. If the eighth grandfather wanted to rebel, he didn't have to wait until his feathers were full now. "

Xiao Lou was also a bit surprised when he heard here. "So it seems that Lord Eight is actually loyal to His Majesty today?"

Yu Hanjiang said, "Since His Majesty is a far-sighted person, if he jealous of Lord Eighth, he should not be stupid enough to let Lord Eighth's daughter-in-law Shu'an County marry Zhao Guo and his relatives, leaving such a hidden danger for himself."

Xiao Lou thought about it and said, "Let the Eighth Lord and Zhao Guo form an alliance, does it mean that His Majesty really trusts the Eighth Lord?"

Yu Hanjiang thoughtfully, "His Majesty returned a secret letter to the Eighth Lord, and did not know what was written. Perhaps our reasoning went awry. The eighth Lord did not want to rebel, but joined forces with His Majesty ... to suppress Jiangzhou Possible rebel forces? "

Xiao Lou's eyes brightened. "This makes sense, too! Prince Wang has changed from a villain to a decent one. Someone wants to rebel, but not Lord Eight, is he on a boat with his Majesty?"

The process of reasoning was originally to pull out cocoons. One idea was wrong, and another was immediately changed.

There were too many clues involved in the murder of Wangfu. At first it was thought that it was a backyard battle. The private relationship between Miss Four and Lin Shaobo was discovered before they died. Later, it was suspected that the guards and the eight kings rebelled ...

But now I find that everything is wrong.

Lin Shaobo is not a murderer, Qin Guard is not a murderer, Lord Eight, is probably not a murderer.

So, who actually sneaked into the palace and killed the two on Wang Ye ’s birthday?

Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou, and said, "I don't know how Longsen's progress is. Let's go to Wangfu again."

Chapter 171 Chapter 20

Royal Palace.

As soon as Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou entered the door, Long Sen hurriedly greeted him, lowering his voice and saying, "Miss Three and Qin Rui are gone, it is said that it was because her mother-in-law Qing did not agree with her marriage with Qin Rui, and even forced death. Ms. San had a strong temperament. She packed up her luggage last night and eloped directly with Qin Weiwei. "

Xiao Lou "............"

Actually called up the guard to elope, this girl is really brave enough, this time there is no way to disagree, Madam Qing must be mad by her.

However, Yu Hanjiang felt that things were not that simple. He whispered, "Miss Three, Guard Qin, will martial arts work?"

Long Sen nodded. "Qin Rui is the highest martial arts guard in the palace. I have never seen the martial arts of Miss Three, but I heard she is very powerful. A girl's house can cut a tree directly with a sword. Obviously, martial arts is not weak. . "

Yu Hanjiang thoughtfully, "Don't you think that Lord Wang suddenly agreed to Miss San's wedding yesterday? Somehow?"

Xiao Lou thought carefully, but also felt that something was wrong.

What Miss San said was also Wangfu Qianjin, Qin Rui was the guard of the Wangfu, or the younger brother of Mrs. Han. The status of the two people is very different, and her seniority is not the same.

How can you just marry your daughter to a guard in a few words?

Now, Miss Three and Qin Weiwei run together in the name of "elopement"-is it really an elopement, or is Wang Ye deliberately letting them out of the house to perform any special task?

Yu Hanjiang said, "This Wangye is not simple. Now the whole Wangfu is blocked because of the murder, and no one can go out. In such a trouble, Miss San and Qin Rui just went out of Wangfu without a doubt? And everyone thinks Miss San Strong personality, dissatisfied with the mother's opposition to the marriage, and simply dragged the guard to elope, and the two disappeared, so it would not be suspected. "

Xiao Lou did not expect this deeper level, and simply thought that Miss Three and Qin Rui were really eloping.

But carefully, in fact, yesterday, it was strange that Wang Ye and Madam Han sang the wife to make a marriage to the two. Ye Wang agreed, and even if Madam Qing opposed it, there was no need for Miss Three to elope? Wangfu is of course Wangye.

Xiao Lou thought more and more that Yu's speculation made sense. "So, he took out Qin Rui, who had the best martial arts, and Miss Three, and probably wanted to investigate the situation of the assassin organization?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded. "Well, otherwise Ms. San eloped at this time could not make sense."

He paused and looked at Longsen and asked, "The guard, how did the investigation go?"

Long Sen looked depressed, shook his head and said, "All the guards of the royal palace have been checked. None of the clothes are damaged ..."

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang face each other.

Where did Lin Shaobo's clothes come from?

Yu Hanjiang held his arms in front of his chest and thought about it. Suddenly, "Will someone ... pretend to be the guard of the royal palace, sneak into the royal palace, and be bumped into by Lin Shaobo, so kill?"

Xiao Lou agreed, "It seems that this is the only explanation, otherwise Lin Shaobo will not have an extra piece of fabric for nothing."

On the day of Wang Ye ’s birthday, the palace was really lively.

Assassin in Tianxiang Tower, woman posing as Miss Four, and posing as a guard ...

Nothing could be found by the guard, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou had to fight back to their homes.

Liu Qiao and Shao Qingge were waiting for them at the prefecture. Xiao Lou probably repeated the clues to the two today. Shao Qingge pressed the temple hard. "So, should the previous reasoning be overthrown?"

Liu Qiao also had a headache and said, "A class secret room is really complicated!"

There are only a few suspects in the secret room of Fenglin High School and the speed train, and the investigation can always lock down the true murderer. But in the troubled times, the smoke-tight room is too wide, and it is not easy to string up all the clues.

Xiao Lou smiled and said, "When I first entered this closet, I thought it would be difficult, because there is no time limit for this closet."

Recalling the reminder of the floating frame at that time, Lao Mo also slammed his head back and patted his thigh. His Majesty overthrew it, and Master Yu is a Majesty's close friend, and we will have to be killed at that time ... "

Shao Qingge said, "Indeed, if this rebellion is not detected in time, I also think that Da Qi will fall into war completely. Not only we will die, but also a large number of innocent people."

Yu Hanjiang reluctantly said, "Now, the suspicion of the eight kings has become smaller. The person who killed Lin Shaobo was not the guard of the palace, but an outsider sneaked into the palace by posing as a guard-the focus is back on the assassin organization."

Xiao Loudao "Would you like to ask the girls to see Tianxianglou?"

Yu Hanjiang brought Xiao Lou and Mo Xuemin into the dungeon.

The girls in Tianxianglou were hungry for a day, and each of them was dejected. There was no spirit. Yu Hanjiang asked them to send them some meals, and they were vetted one by one, focusing on the boss aunt Qing.

However, Aunt Qing said blankly, "The daughter of the people don't know. Last night, the dancer Ji Xing's name was Xue Yan. She came to Tianxiang Tower a year ago. She said that she had died as a young parent and begged for it. Health, she looks good and dances well, and I took her in pity when I saw her. Who would have thought she would assassinate the prince?

The other girls also said similarly. They all said that Xue Yan was taciturn when she was in Tianxiang Tower. There were few friends. All you knew about her was "the orphans whose parents were dead." Everyone said they didn't know.

Yu Hanjiang couldn't find any clues and had to keep the girls in Tianxianglou locked up.

At night, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou returned to the bedroom to rest.

Xiao Lou, while dressing his wounds, said with emotion, "We have been in this world for five days, haven't we changed the case to another secret room?"

Yu Hanjiang whispered, "Don't worry, if the rebellion case is so easy to break, the person who planned the rebellion will be too cautious."

Xiao Lou thought about it and smiled, "It is really dangerous to be in the royal family, or it is more ordinary to be a common person."

Yu Hanjiang nodded in agreement. If he and Xiao Lou are really people in this world, he would rather not be an official, and be a casual couple with Xiao Lou, and live this life freely.

But now there is no way, they must find out as soon as possible who is the one who wants to rebel.

...

The next morning, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou got up on time.

Shao Gongzi said that he was going to invite Mr. Yu to have breakfast. He spent money on the steamed buns in Jiangzhou's most famous No. 1 building. He smiled and brought them to his door. Support. "

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang sat down to eat steamed buns. The steamed buns in this shop are really delicious. Xiao Lou joked, "Do you really enjoy it? Did your father give you a few boxes of gold?"

Shao Qingge shook his fan and said, "It's not finished, but it can't be taken out."

While chatting, suddenly a gangster rushed over and said, "Master, it's not good! Someone in Jiangzhou Dungeon was robbed, and all the girls in Tianxianglou were rescued!"

Hearing here, the three were stunned at the same time.

Shao Qingge Ben waved a fan with a smile and listened to the report that something had happened to the dungeon. He immediately flashed in his head a guy dressed up as a woman and eating a snack like a squirrel.

Shao Qingge's fan "snapped" in his hands, his face instantly changed. "Ye Qi is also in the dungeon."

Yu Hanjiang Shen Sheng asked, "Where is Girl Ye?"

The servant said, "Ye and Ye Ye are gone!"

Xiao Loudao "Go and see!"

A group of people quickly came to the dungeon, and Shao Qingge strode toward the depths of the corridor—no one was in Ye Qi's cell, and he chuckled in his heart, and a chill ran over his back!

Robbery? How could someone suddenly come to jail?

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, and their faces were very confused. Yesterday, when these girls were brought up for trial, 12 people were caught in Tianxiang Lou. As a result, the dungeon was empty and there were none left.

Beside, the nightman responsible for the night fell to the ground, and Xiao Lou immediately walked over and tried their breath with his hands.

Yu Hanjiang asked "how?"

Xiao Lou said, "Both have breath and bruises on the back of the neck. They should be stunned."

Yu Han was not killed, Yu Hanjiang breathed a little sigh of relief. He looked at the person who had been notified, and whispered, "When was it found?"

The battle trembled and said, "When I came to change shifts this morning, my subordinates found that two of them last night fainted to the side. All three cells were empty. The girls in Tianxianglou were gone. Adult report! "

It seems that the man who robbed his hands last night.

Shao Qingge's face was ugly. "Where's Ye Ye?"

At that time, he also received his benefit fee. He heard him ask, his face paled slightly, "I really don't know."

Yu Hanjiang took a careful look at the scene. The lock on the cell was not pried, but was cut directly by a sharp sword. It seemed that the jailer had sharp weapons in his hands. They didn't kill the soldiers, but just stunned from behind, indicating that they were not extremely ferocious.

The prisoners currently detained in the Jiangzhou dungeon are not only the girls of Tianxianglou, but also some other offenders who are detained on the other side. Yu Hanjiang walked over and saw that all of them were fainted with sweat medicine.

Xiao Loudao "It seems that the target of the jailer is clear, not to hurt people, but to save the girls in Tianxianglou."

Yu Hanjiang frowned. "It's not like the style of the Assassin."

Shao Qingge's face was a bit ugly, and he lowered his voice and said, "Will Ye Qi be in danger?"

At this moment, a sudden wind blew through the ear, and it seemed that a mass of air was moving, followed by it, Shao Qingge's sleeve was gently pulled by both hands, and someone seemed to be writing in his palm.

The soft fingers quickly wrote the word "leaf" in his palm.

Shao Qingge “…………”

This spooky guy actually put on a stealth cloak and followed everyone behind, causing him to worry for nothing.

The look on Shao Qingge's face eased instantly. This guy wrote in his palms invisibly, just like a kitten scratching his palm. Shao Qingge couldn't help chuckling and grasping the transparent finger.

Although Ye Qi is invisible, his body is only transparent, not air, and he can still feel it when he touches it. When General Shao grabbed his fingers, Ye Qi worked hard to make money, but found that he couldn't make it, so he just walked out of the dungeon with both Shao and Yu and Xiao.

Shao Qingge whispered in Yu Hanjiang's ear, "Ye Qi follows us like the spirit behind him and may have something to say."

Ye Qi "..."

What is the spirit behind? Can you describe it better?

Yu Hanjiang's understanding, so Wu Yi awakened those who were fainted and stunned, and the girls in Tianxiang Tower were wanted in the city. He took Xiao Lou and Shao Qingge to the backyard of the prefecture, entered the study and closed the door with his backhand.

Shao Qingge chuckled "let's come out."

Ye Qi took off his cloak and showed his figure in front of the three.

Seeing his messy hair and dirty clothes, Shao Qingge couldn't help but ask, "What happened last night? Didn't you get hurt?"

Ye Qi shook his head and said in excitement, "I was so scared that I was scared to death last night. It was a Hollywood blockbuster! Two people in black flew over from the outside, one of them had a tall palm. , The two guards at night were easily laid down, the white powder was sprinkled over there in the other hand, and the other prisoners were all fainted! "

Xiao Lou watched him gesticulate and describe the scene last night. He couldn't help but laugh, poured a cup of tea to him, and said, "Slow down, drink some saliva."

Ye Qi took the tea and moistened his throat, and then said, "I noticed something wrong at that time, and immediately retracted into the quilt to sleep. The two went to the place where the girls of Tianxianglou were detained. A few swords broke the chain. After saying, "Aunt Qing, the host asked us to save you," the aunt Qing didn't seem surprised, and woke up the girls of Tianxianglou, and followed them. "

"Then a woman asked, 'How many people are being held in Tianxiang Tower, is the number correct?' Auntie Qing said, 'Girl Ye is not ours, don't care about her.' They hurried away." Ye Qi scratched his head, "I was confined to a cell alone because of my loss, and I was pretending to sleep, so they ignored me. If I were awake, I might be killed."

Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly. "A man and a woman are here to save people?"

Ye Qi nodded "Yes."

Xiao Lou asked sharply, "Is the woman a Snow Goose?"

Ye Qi's eyes widened. "Ah, I was about to say! Although the woman was in black and covered her face, I recognized her eyes and eyebrows, that is, the assassin Xueyan, who was the assassin of the day, Xiao ... Yu How did you guess, ma'am? "

Xiao Lou smiled slightly and said, "It seems that the assassin organization finally surfaced. The girls in Tianxianglou were not innocent. Except for Xue Yan's martial arts and assassination of the Lord, other girls might be responsible for collecting clues; last night The masked man in black might have sneaked into the palace by posing as a guard that afternoon, planning to commit murder, but he was hit by Master Lin, so he killed Master Lin. Aunt Qing was the owner of Tianxiang Tower. The performance was arranged by her. It would be very easy for her to bring someone into the palace. "

Yu Hanjiang said calmly. "It seems that the entire Tianxiang Tower is an assassin and intelligence organization."

Ye Qi "…………"

It's so scary to hear that! It is fortunate that he survived in Tianxiang Tower.

Yu Hanjiang whispered, "Our previous reasoning went awry. His Majesty wrote a secret letter to Wang Ye, probably to join forces with Wang Ye to investigate the rebellion case. Now, the organization Tianxianglou has revealed its true colors. The" master "behind them is the case. The essential."
