Once the Crown Prince Joins In

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

Su Xinyi left the teahouse. The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became. It seemed that everything was different. How could there be such a big gap?

She had never heard of the drug-testing murder case. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫ⓢⓗⓤⓧ.ⓒⓞⓜ

In the previous life, His Highness the Crown Prince solved the case without her involvement, but in this life, she missed it because of her intervention. Therefore, she could not just sit idly by and ignore this matter.

Since there is a loophole, she must make up for it, but how to tell His Highness the Crown Prince, this is the most difficult part.

Should the murder case be retold again?

Wu Shundu was released and the case was definitely closed. If he were to be found out again, would Wu Shun have to go to jail again?

Su Xinyi thought about it and couldn't find a better way. She could only investigate the case by herself and see if she could find any clues.

Thinking of this, she also thought that she didn't ask Shang Junyan about the specific circumstances of the case. She didn't even know the specific location of the drug-testing murder case.

After all, she was inexperienced and had never done this kind of thing before.

So she immediately turned around and chased Shang Junyan, but unfortunately she was a step too late and failed to catch up.

He ran pretty fast!

Su Xinyi felt that everything he did today was not going well. He could not find out what Duke Qin was cheated by Ma Rude, nor could he ask about the location of the drug trial.

Su Xinyi was not a person who gave up easily. He found a simple tea stall on the roadside and ordered a large bowl of tea. He sat on a shabby bench and listened to the other guests at the tea stall talking.

Most of the people drinking large bowls of tea on the roadside were the surrounding people, which was convenient for her to find out what Taoist temples were around the capital. Since it was alchemy, it must be in a Taoist temple. The incense was at its peak and there were many pilgrims. It would be easy for them to expose their whereabouts. You must choose a place with few pilgrims, so that it can be convenient for them.

Su Xinyi drank a lot of tea, and then found out the news she wanted.

There is a Wuji Temple in Beijing. This Taoist temple was very popular in the early years, but after the old temple leader ascended to heaven, the Taoist temple slowly declined.

The key is where is this Wuji Temple built?

South of the city!

Ma Rude's private treasury for storing private salt is also in the south of the city!

Such a coincidence?

Su Xinyi felt that it was definitely not a coincidence.

She decided to go to the south of the city again.

It was a bit slow for Su Xinyi to go to the south of the city by car, so she sent the family's driver back to her home with a message to her mother that she would be back later.

Then Su Xinyi went to the mule and horse shop to rent a horse. It happened that he didn't need to change his clothes and went directly to the south of the city.

With the stepping points from the last time, Su Xinyi knew the general layout of the south of the city and headed directly in the direction of Wuji Temple.

In two quarters of an hour, she entered the boundaries of Nancheng. After walking around in circles, she finally saw Wuji Temple not far from the base of the city wall.

When she first saw it, she felt that this Taoist temple was very small. It was different from the tall and majestic Taoist temple she had imagined.

The door of Wuji Temple was closed, and it was impossible to tell whether there was anyone inside. She found a shady place to tie up her horse, and she walked along the dirt road.

Compared to the central part of the Imperial City, the roads in Nancheng are all paved with bluestones. The roads here are all loess, which is muddy on sunny days and muddy on rainy days.

Su Xinyi turned around and saw no one on the street. After thinking about it, she went to knock on the door of a nearby house. The result was that the door was closed and could not be opened.

Forget about one or two houses, it was strange that she knocked on several houses without knocking on the door.

Su Xinyi thought for a while and knocked directly on the door of the Taoist temple. The temple looked very dilapidated. The paint on the door panel peeled off and weeds grew in the gaps on the steps in front of the door. She reached out to knock on the door, fearing that she would leave. He was so strong that he broke the door of the Taoist temple.

It’s really hard to tell that such a place would be a place where people test drugs and kill people. Could it be that I guessed wrong?

After knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door. It was broad daylight and she couldn't climb over the wall to get in. After thinking about it, she simply went back and led the horse back. After walking two alleys, there were no pedestrians visible on the street. contacts. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫sɥnx˙ɔoɯ

Su Xinyi looked it over, then stepped forward to stop an old woman with some gray hair, cupped her hands and said with a smile: Madam, I would like to ask you how to get to Wuji Temple?

The old woman raised her eyes and looked at the person in front of her, narrowed her eyes and then said: Where did this little brother come from?

Today, Su Xinyi saw Shang Junyan wearing a Hu suit for the convenience of going out, with his hair tied up. He looked like a tomboy, so it was not wrong to be recognized as a younger brother.

I came from outside the city. I heard that the old temple master of Wuji Temple is very efficacious, so I wanted to come and burn incense sticks. But I couldn't find a place when I walked here, so I stopped my aunt to ask for directions. Su Xinyi said with a smile. .

Hey, you are here for the old temple master, so you are not well informed. The old temple master left two years ago. Once the old temple master leaves, his great disciple will no longer be useful, and the incense will no longer work. This year, even more, my stomach is full. All the little Taoist priests in the temple have disappeared, leaving only the disciples of the old temple master. However, he is not around during the day and has to go out to make a living. But he is not good at that, so he can only go out of the city to the countryside. The world has set up a dojo for people, and you won’t see them even if you come during the day.”

Su Xinyi heard this, which was full of information. He didn't see anyone during the day and only came back at night.

There was a curfew at night and no one came out for a walk. It was convenient for the Taoist temple to get something. If you heard this, you would think that the Wuji temple was very suspicious.

Su Xinyi looked disappointed, So that's it. Thank you, aunt. I'm really unlucky. I thought I could invite the old temple master this time. It's a pity that the old temple master's apprentice is not qualified. It would be great if he could have the skills of the old master. Madam, you said that the current master is the great disciple of the old master. Then he has followed the old master for many years, so why hasn't he learned the skills of the old master? What a pity.”

The old woman was happy when she heard this, You don't have to worry about this, you are a young man. Some people are clever and some are stupid. How can everyone be successful? Although the old Buddhist master's apprentice is not good at academics, he is a good person. He is kind-hearted and willing to endure hardships. You can see that he goes to the countryside every day to teach people how to make a living and still make a living.

What you are saying is that I was too anxious. Something happened at home. I was so anxious that I made a mistake. Su Xinyi said with a long sigh. Listening to what you said, it's not unreasonable for the temple owner to provide a dojo for others. Can I invite him back?

It depends on what's going on. He can do it in a small dojo, but if he can't do it in a big dojo, all the little Taoist priests in the temple will disappear, and he won't be able to do it himself.

Su Xinyi:......

Then can you tell me when the temple master will come back? I'll wait for him and ask him personally. Su Xinyi talked for a long time before getting back to the topic.

You can't say for sure. If you go closer, you'll be back on the same day. If you go farther, it may take two or three days.

Looking back at the uncertain time, all the young Taoist priests in the Taoist temple were dispersed, and it didn't look like there would be any problem.

Su Xinyi said with a grateful face: Auntie, thank you very much. I came here for nothing, and I don't know how to explain it when I get home. Then she took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the aunt's hand, I'll buy you a bowl. Have some tea, thank you for your advice.

The aunt lowered her head and looked, Oh, how much money does this cost? She said a few words, How can it be worth so much money? When she was about to call someone to stop her, she saw that the young men got on their horses and ran away.

The aunt stopped screaming, thinking happily that she would be lucky enough to get rich when she went out today, which was such a blessing.

Su Xinyi did not return to Wuji Temple. According to the old lady, she knocked on the door for a long time and no one came out to open the door. Moreover, she was not sure when the master of Wuji Temple would come back. It was pointless for her to spend time here.

Sure enough, you still need to have talented people, and if you have someone who can be used, you will be noticed.

Su Xinyi thought about it, and she had to go to her elder brother for this matter. There must be someone there.

This time Su Xinyi learned wisely. Instead of going to the Prince's Mansion to find someone, she went back to the Mansion and waited.

After returning home, I changed my clothes first, and then went to pay my respects to my mother.

The Fourth Madam was checking the accounts, and when she saw her, she waved to her, You ran out of nowhere. Fortunately, your grandmother and grandfather let you go. If it had been someone else's family, you would have suffered. New 𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘅. 𝗰𝗼𝗺What are you going out to do today?”

Su Xinyi hurriedly responded, I'll be more careful in the future and stop running out a few times.

The fourth lady was happy. She closed the account books, looked at her daughter and said, Go out if you like. Just don't cause trouble.

Su Xinyi thought to herself, it's hard to talk about this kind of thing. Sometimes she doesn't cause trouble, but things always come to her, and she can't do anything about it.

Mom, have you ever heard of Wuji Temple? Su Xinyi felt that Wuji Temple was once very famous, and maybe her mother knew about it.

Why are you asking about this? Wuji Temple, I know. In the early days, the temple was very prosperous when the old temple master was here, but it declined after the old temple master left. You are so good, why are you asking about this? Mrs. Su Si looked at it. Daughter, she always felt that her daughter must be hiding something from her.

Have you been there? Su Xinyi asked again.

I believe in Buddhism and have never been to a Taoist temple. Mrs. Su Si is a pious person. It is not like other people who worship gods and Buddhas and believe in the true king. How can this be done? Are you hiding something from your mother?

Su Xinyi:......

No, I just heard someone mention Wuji Temple today and I was curious, so I wanted to ask you about it. I heard that the old temple master was very powerful, so I wondered why his great disciple couldn't get past the wall. Su Xinyi Of course, we can't talk about the drug trial case. Her mother will definitely be worried about her if she finds out.

That's what you said. The old temple master chose a successor. It's useless. Once the person leaves, the Taoist temple will collapse. Mrs. Su Si said with some regret, Although I I’ve never been there, but I know that when Wuji Temple was popular, every time it opened, it would be crowded with people, and there were so many believers. It’s a pity that future generations will not be able to use it, and the reputation accumulated by the old temple owner will be lost.”

I also heard that the current temple master has dismissed even the little Taoist priests in the temple. The old temple master has only been gone for two years, and he is not in such a state of desolation. I always feel weird. Su Xinyi said.

It's quite strange for you to say that. Mrs. Su Si looked at her daughter, A Taoist temple that was once very prosperous like Wuji Temple must have a rich family background, and it is indeed impossible for it to be ruined in a year or two.

Please tell me carefully, I don't understand this very well. Su Xinyi felt that she was indeed asking the right question.

Mrs. Su Si was happy, Of course you girls don't understand this. The income from both Taoist and Buddhist temples is very considerable. For example, our family spends a lot of money at the Buddhist temple every year, not to mention the donations to the Buddhist temple. , as well as money for sesame oil and burning incense. If you ask the great monk in the temple to recite sutras, you will be given additional money. In addition, if you light a lantern in the temple, there will be another money. After a year, our family will have several thousand taels.

Su Xinyi:......

Looking at her daughter's expression, the fourth lady found it even more interesting, and added with a smile: So relatively speaking, the Taoist temple's income will not be much different, especially when the old temple master was very popular, so it fell into decline in two years. There may be another reason for this.

Su Xinyi vaguely knew something was wrong, but couldn't tell what was wrong. Now after hearing what her mother said, she understood that there was something wrong with income and expenditure.

As my mother said, when the old temple owner was here, I was sure that the income of the Taoist temple was very generous, and it was absolutely impossible for it to decline like this within two years.

So, where did the money go?

Why does the current patron give people the illusion of defeat, so is the drug trial case really related to him?

If because of the alchemy, he was afraid of being exposed and would expel the young Taoist priests from the Taoist temple, and he was also afraid that the incense would be too strong and his whereabouts would be exposed, so he gave the illusion of decline. If you think about it this way, things will make sense.

But whether her guess was correct or not will only be known after verification.

Su Xinyi had some clues and her mood improved. She looked at her mother and said, Listening to your words really enlightened me. I understood it all at once. Mom is really amazing.

Mrs. Su Si was coaxed to smile brightly, What are these? When you get married in the future, you will slowly get started with taking over the family.

Su Xinyi finished coaxing her mother, had dinner with her, and then returned to her yard.

After coming back, Forsythia asked Lian Qiao to ask the eldest young master if he was back. Lian Qiao went to the eldest young lady's place. When she came back, she said to the girl: The eldest young madam said that the eldest young master hasn't come back yet. The eldest young master hasn't come back yet. The young master comes back very late, sometimes even after curfew. The eldest young lady said that if the girl has something urgent, someone will wait for the eldest young master to come back to deliver the message to you.

Su Xinyi really couldn't wait, so she thought for a while and said, Go and tell your sister-in-law, and ask her to wait for her brother to come back and send someone to tell her.

Forsythia responded, Yes, I'll go right away.

As soon as Forsythia left, Su Xinyi was a little tired after running all day, so she went to bathe and change clothes and wait slowly.

Delphinium led people to bring hot water to the clean room, served the girl out of the bath, wiped her hair slowly with a dry handkerchief, dried her hair, and tied it up with a jade comb.

Su Xinyi was drowsy because of the delphinium. When she was about to fall asleep, Forsythia walked in.

Su Xinyi opened her eyes when she heard her footsteps, turned her head slightly and asked, The young master is back?

Yes, the people around the eldest young lady have just sent back a letter. The eldest young master said that he is waiting for the girl in the study. Forsythia said hurriedly.

Su Xinyi stretched out her hands to rub her face to cheer herself up, went into the inner room and changed her clothes, and then walked out.

Delphinium followed with a lantern, and the master and servant walked out from the inner courtyard. When they arrived at the second door, the woman guarding the door asked a question, and she opened the door after knowing that Su Xinyi was looking for the eldest young master.

Su Yi knew that his sister was here, looking disgraced and shameless. He washed his face and changed his clothes in a hurry. He was covered in dirt from running around a lot today.

As soon as the two brothers and sisters met, Su Yi looked at his sister and said, Why is it so urgent that we can't wait until tomorrow?

He was a little afraid that his sister would scare him again in the middle of the night.

I want to borrow two people from my eldest brother. Su Xinyi said directly.

Su Yi's heart skipped a beat, It's okay to borrow someone, but what are you going to do? Speaking of which, you're running out all day. Last time, my grandfather said that he would arrange for a few people to follow you. You should still be carrying it now, and you should be there in a few days. Sent.

Su Xinyi frowned in confusion, mainly because she didn't know how to speak correctly about this matter.

Su Yi looked at his sister's expression and knew that something was indeed wrong. He sighed in his heart and said, Sit down and speak slowly.

Su Xinyi sat down as instructed, thought for a while and said, Brother, how did the serial murder case some time ago be solved?

Huh? The case hasn't been closed yet, why do you ask this? Su Yi asked in surprise.

The case hasn't been closed yet? Then why was Wu Shun released? Su Xinyi was also shocked.

I don't know the specific process. I heard from Wu Shun that he was released after finding out that he had nothing to do with the murder case. However, the real culprit of the serial murder case has not been caught yet, so the case has not been closed yet.

Su Xinyi couldn't help but feel relieved. For someone as smart as the Crown Prince, he could find out the drug trial case in his previous life. How could he just close the case in such a confusing way in this life.

Her mood had been ups and downs that day. It was only at this moment that she felt relaxed, so she immediately said: I have some clues here. I don't know if I can use them.

Su Yi:......

Do you have clues about this kind of thing? You are running out every day, right? Su Yi didn't know what expression to put on at this moment.

Logically speaking, he should give his sister a lesson, but when he thought about his sister's abilities, it seemed that he didn't have much confidence.

However, how scary is it for a girl to investigate a serial murder case without saying anything secretly?

Su Xinyi was afraid that his elder brother would misunderstand, so he immediately said: No, I just found out by chance. I really didn't check it out myself.

Su Yi stared at his sister suspiciously and found that she did not look like she was guilty. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely: Xin Yi, eldest brother knows that you are capable, but two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Don't do things recklessly. . Fortunately, the person grandpa arranged for you should be here soon, otherwise I would not do anything this day and just keep an eye on you.

Su Xinyi couldn't laugh or cry, Brother, I'm not that ignorant. I know how powerful it is. Don't worry.

Su Yi wanted to feel relieved, but he really couldn't let go. Ever since he recognized his sister, his life was like a storm rushing towards him, and he couldn't escape.

Okay, I'll remember what you said. Then tell me what's going on. Su Yi wiped his face and composed himself. He must listen carefully to the clues about the serial murder case.

Su Xinyi was silent for a moment, collecting her thoughts, and then spoke, Before Wu Shun was framed, I was very curious about why he was pushed out to be taken advantage of. Later, I overheard someone say something and I vaguely understood. Brother, you know Wuji view, right?”

Su Xinyi didn't know how he could tell his elder brother the clues without telling Shang Junyan and his rebirth. After thinking about it, he could only start with the strangeness of Wuji Temple.

In this way, it can be justified using backward reasoning.

Su Xinyi told her mother about the income of Wuji Temple and the reason why she suspected the rapid decline of Wuji Temple. Then she heard from the people around Wuji Temple that someone saw An Jingqi in the Taoist temple. Appeared several times.

After luring An Jingqi out, the next thing fell into place.

An Jingqi is related to Ma Rude, Su Baiwei and Li, and now he is related to the murder case, especially Wu Shun, who was pushed out as the scapegoat. It is the Dongli Palace where An Jingqi's sister An Concubine lives. Concubine.

This network of relationships suddenly became full.

After Su Xinyi finished speaking, Su Yi's expression was particularly wonderful, If what you said is true, this case is probably more terrifying than we thought.

I also thought of this, and I was really restless. Then I found my eldest brother and wanted to borrow someone to keep an eye on the Taoist temple to see if this was the case? After all, my guess was that there was no evidence. Su Xinyi immediately added.

How could you do such a thing? Su Yi looked at his sister and his face became serious. If what Xin Yi said was true, then this matter was quite dangerous. He immediately looked at her and warned her, This matter I will report back to His Highness, but please don’t take risks on your own.”

Su Xinyi didn't expect her eldest brother to be so decisive this time. It seems that following His Highness has really gained her knowledge and skills, and her person has changed a lot. Of course she agreed, I feel at ease with my eldest brother's words, so I'll leave it to you.

At this time, the purpose is to give the eldest brother a sense of accomplishment, and the eldest brother has indeed done a good job. Su Xinyi can put down his burden and feel relaxed.

After all, this case is back in the hands of His Royal Highness. This is only right.

Su Xinyi left happily. Su Yi looked at her sister's back and felt very stressed.

This sister was so capable. He didn't want to be treated like a loser, so he could only run forward as hard as he could.

Su Yi couldn't sleep either, so he simply sat at the table and recorded what his sister said, smoothing out the clues so that he wouldn't miss the rules when meeting His Highness tomorrow.

Su Yi felt a little scared as he wrote this. If his sister's guess was true, then Wuji Temple might be hiding a huge secret. If this was revealed...

He didn't even dare to think about it.

Su Yi didn't sleep all night, and went to the East Palace the next day with big dark circles under his eyes.

Since the beginning of the year, His Majesty has asked the Crown Prince to follow him to attend the court affairs, so Su Yi came early and before His Highness came back, he was waiting in the East Palace.

Although Pang Lan has a good impression of Su Yi, as a prince, he can endure hardships. During these days, he followed His Highness to investigate cases and never cheated. He completed all the errands assigned by His Highness seriously, so Pang Lan came to accompany him now. say.

Captain Su, is there something urgent that comes to see His Highness so early?

Su Yi nodded, There is something I want to report back to His Highness, Guard Pang. I would like to ask if there are any clues about the previous serial murder case?

Pang Lan looked at Su Yi in surprise. This prince was not a meddlesome person and was kind-hearted. If he asked this, he must have a clue!

Pang Lan suddenly became interested.
