Chapter 5: Detect

In addition to the inner and outer imperial city, the royal capital has a total of 108 squares, dotted with dots, vertical and horizontal, stone roads running through it, extending to every corner like a spider web, extending in all directions.
Since most of the court offices were located in the north of the city, the nobles and princes lived in nearby squares. Chu Jinglan was an exception. His mansion was far away from the corner of the city. The terrain was high and far away from the market, so the neighborhood was sparsely populated and clean. There is a Chongxiao Pavilion in the mansion, standing upright in the southeast corner, with biwa and Zhuli, the eaves and teeth are high, the east hall is sitting on the mountain, the west room can gather clouds, and in terms of scenery, I am afraid there is no better palace in the palace. local.
Coincidentally, there is also such a pavilion next door, next to the wall and as high as the Zhongxiao Pavilion, so close that it can almost be reached by hand. Chu Jinglan doesn't like this feeling very much, so he rarely goes up after returning for so long.
Lu Heng thought that the great place should not be discarded, so he moved all the books that he couldn't put on, and repaired them, turning it into a decent library.
"Oh, I'm so idle."
He patted the ash on his hands, turned around and walked to the long and narrow terrace, enjoying the scenery boredly, and suddenly saw the shadow guards in the yard bowing their heads, and then a black-clothed man walked by, walking vigorously. Walking towards the study, his thoughts turned and he immediately left the Chongxiao Pavilion.
Before Lu Heng came to the study, he was about to knock on the door, and Chu Jinglan's voice had floated from inside: "Come in."
He pushed the door in, and immediately raised the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile: "Qingfeng, what news have you brought back?"
Tang Qingfeng took out a small note from his arms. It said Wang Lan's personal enlightenment. It was not signed or sealed, but he knew who wrote it by looking at the handwriting. However, before he had time to ask the content, Chu Jinglan He took it and put it directly into the brazier, instantly turning to ashes, too fast to stop it.
"After all, you can burn it after reading the content, what are you doing so eagerly..."
Lu Heng looked at Chu Jinglan helplessly. He didn't even lift his head. The Chunjiang Hua Yueye painted by him was almost finished, but the jade wheel in mid-air was still missing a corner. He was picking up a pen and dipping a little bit of the circle. .
"Don't you know what's written in it?"
Lu Heng didn't speak for a while. Indeed, he knew as well as Chu Jinglan that this Xiao Zha was given to Tang Qingfeng by Yu Shi doctor Gu Yong, and the content was nothing more than a meeting with Chu Jinglan.
When the first emperor was reigning, he attached great importance to advice. As a veteran in charge of Yushitai, Gu Yong was very upright and daring to speak up. He was very reusable by the first emperor and deliberately let him assist Chu Jinglan. Now Chu Jinglan is back, Gu Yong has made several appointments, but Chu Jinglan has repeatedly refused, presumably there must be other considerations.
Tang Qingfeng is a straight-headed man, and when he saw neither of them speak, he asked: "Master, then still not seeing him this time?"
"The more sincere he is, the less he will be able to see him." Chu Jinglan finished speaking meaningfully, and suddenly changed the subject, "Ah Heng, how is the investigation of the assassin?"
Lu Heng handed him the sorted file with a tick at the corner of his mouth, smiling a little strangely, "I have re-collected information about Yejia these days and found that it is different from what we learned in the North, you I certainly did not expect that the current Ye Family Patriarch was not Ye Huai Li, but the sister Ye Huaiyang who was eight years younger than him."
Ye Huaiyang?
A delicate and moving face appeared in Chu Jinglan's mind, from the facial features to the outline, it seemed to be within reach, and there seemed to be a thousand words hidden under that piercing eyes.
It turned out to be her.
Even if it's just a one-sided relationship, there is not much communication, but Chu Jinglan knew that the woman who got rid of the punishment with just a few words was Ye Huaiyang, but he did not show it The color of surprise, only lightly said: "Continue."
"She has trained a group of high-powered martial arts guards who specialize in spying and surveillance. She usually enters and exits the Tianqi Building on the outskirts of the city. I have asked the shadow guards to investigate, and I believe there will be results soon."
Tang Qingfeng stood on the edge and stopped talking.
Chu Jinglan glanced at him, and said, "Speak straight."
He stubbornly said: "The subordinates don't think she is like the black hand behind the scenes. If she really wanted to hurt the prince, how could she say that in the restaurant? It would be superfluous if she was acting arrogantly."
Lu Heng said sarcastically: "She is indeed not behind the scenes, you and I know who is going to kill the prince. Anyway, this is not a rare occurrence. When in the North, the assassins just left. There are a lot of people coming, and now in the royal capital, he is afraid that he will get rid of it, so he instructs the people below to do it. Ye Huaili is so loyal and patriotic, and he doesn’t wave the flag and rush forward? Although Ye Huaiyang is the head of the family, Can things that involve the interests of the night family be able to stay overnight?"
Tang Qingfeng was robbed by him, and there was no sound for a moment. Later, he was seen chuckling with his chin.
"Wang Xie couldn't fight, and the Bai clan sought profit, so Yejia, who remained neutral and left out in the past, took advantage of the loopholes, trying to figure out the king's heart and climbing up. The situation in the royal capital is getting more and more interesting."
"Anyway, check the Tianqi Tower first."
Chu Jinglan put the files together and put it on the table. Obviously, he didn't want to guess anything out of thin air. Both of them understood what he meant, so they didn't discuss the matter anymore, but Lu Heng returned to unruly after calm down. He looked like, what he said and did everything was a ridiculous look, which made people unable to figure out what he was thinking.
"Hey, I haven't been back in six years. I really want to think about the snacks in the city. Let the wind, go, walk with me on the street, I will treat you to delicious food!"
After speaking, he stretched out his arm, and took Tang Qingfeng outside the door with a half-drag and a half-drag. Before Tang Qingfeng had time to salute, his dark face flushed anxiously.
"What are you dragging? I'm not going. We are both out of the house. Who should I go to if the prince tells you something?"
Lu Heng said nonchalantly, "Didn't he have finished all orders just now? Besides, there are so many servants and shadow guards in the palace, are you afraid that no one will send him?"
"Then I won't go, there is nothing fun for the king."
Tang Qingfeng turned his head, stubbornly like a donkey, unable to pull it, Lu Heng only raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and asked again: "Really not going?"
There was no response this time.
"Then I will go by myself. I heard that Youdao Canary in Tianque Building on Xuanwu Street is doing very well. It is perfect with pickled water mustard skin. I will try it. If I'm lucky, I can grab more. Two copies, I will bring you back at that time."
Tang Qingfeng obviously heard the hidden meaning in his words, and immediately grabbed him backhand and asked, "What are you going to do in Yejia's restaurant?"
"Stop talking, eat something." Lu Heng said innocently.
I usually don’t pay much attention to eating, but now I ran all the way to Tianque Tower for the snacks? Ghosts believe! This guy definitely wanted to explore the wind, but he didn't know how to say, it was really annoying to lead him in such a big circle.
Tang Qingfeng glared at Lu Heng without angrily, and it took him a long time to suffocate a sentence: "I changed my mind and go with you."
Lu Heng smiled, obviously as expected, and didn't say much. He walked out of the palace with his hands behind his back. Tang Qingfeng just wanted to understand the mystery, and could not care about anything else, so he strode to catch up.
Just stepping out of the palace, a pallet truck passed by the door. A few large bundles of bamboo shoots were piled on top of the truck, and the top was still stained with moist soil, which looked very fresh. The two stopped to look at it for a while, and the car entered through the side door of the neighboring house. After calculating, it was the third time they had seen it.
"Buying bamboo shoots for three days to eat, or transporting them in carts, the owner next door is too strange..." Tang Qingfeng muttered.
Lu Heng squinted his eyes and asked, "Have you checked who is living in that house?"
"I checked it and said it was a young lady from a family who lived here to recuperate. She moved here three months ago." Tang Qingfeng paused, his thick black eyebrows frowned unconsciously, "But because there is no more in the workshop. Other residents cannot find out who is her last name or name. Even the courtyard is full of guards, and the shadow guards are not close at all."
Three months ago? Isn't that when they are preparing to leave for the royal capital? The more Lu Heng thought about it, the more weird he felt, so he looked all over and said: "Let's find a way to check again. After all, there is only a layer of courtyard wall, if that person sends it..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Qingfeng already understood how powerful it was, and immediately called in several shadow guards, staring down to explain the matter, and then turned around after they split up.
"Let's go."
Lu Heng nodded, and the two got into the carriage one after another.
The sound of the turning of the car wheel drifted away, and the vermilion door next door suddenly opened, and a touch of lake blue Liying came from the willows, with a graceful look, with a raised eyebrow. It is almost impossible to look away.
"Ci Yuan, what did they just say?"
Ci Yuan bowed his head and said: "Miss Hui, they said they were going to Tianque Tower, and they also said they would check you."
"Then let them check it, don't have to hide it, you will know it sooner or later anyway." Ye Huaiyang smiled, seemingly indifferent, then turned back and yelled to the courtyard, "Ling'er, no Speaking of going to the streets? It's almost the hour, come out soon, and come back later to play with Lan Lan."
There was a sweet voice from the inside: "Oh, I forgot the time! Seventh sister wait for me, I will come!"
The speaker was Ye Huai Ling, the daughter of Uncle Ye Huaiyang, the youngest in the house, two years younger than Ye Huaiyang, extremely lively, and acting no less than a man, it didn’t take long for the voice to fall. The little bunny jumped to the door, and the Pisces pierced around the waist was clinking, very pleasing.
Ye Huaiyang pulled her into the carriage. Two dazzling figures, one red and one blue, disappeared from the sight of everyone. Ci Yuan lifted his clothes and took a seat in front of the carriage. He turned around and asked, "Miss, where are we going?" "
Ye Huaiyang gently raised his lips and said, "Go to Tianque Tower, too."
"Yes." He swung his rein lightly, and the horse immediately raised its hoof and ran forward.
