Chapter 492 They are all masters of acting

Zhu Huanyu, the king of Anhua, is very angry. Since he lived in Ningxia Town, he has transformed the Qingwang Mansion into a copper wall and an iron wall. The pattern has changed, and the number of guards in the mansion has also increased to more than 3,000. The Qingwang Mansion in this city is as heavily guarded as the palace located in the northwest.

However, when the guard reported that someone had entered the royal palace last night, Zhu Yuqi did not believe that anyone dared to do so. When the guards presented the grasp left on the wall and the broken oilcloth covered with arrows on the inner wall, he had to believe that there was indeed a blind guy who came in.

Zhu Qian is very clear in his heart that the so-called saying that the thief entered the Qing Palace is completely nonsense. Which thief will be so bold? Seeing Ningxia City, there are more than a dozen groups of idle people in the five central cities in the southeast and northwest, all under the control of the royal palace. These guys are still good at bullying the people. If they dare to enter the royal palace to make trouble, Zhu Yu will never believe it. For them, Qingwang Mansion is the Longtan Tiger's den. Don't want to go out when you come in. There is only one way to go out: go out horizontally.

However, it is quite intriguing who is the person who enters the house; who is so interested in the Qingwang Mansion that he has to take such a big risk to come in and have a look?

Zhumei has to think about this problem carefully. Although the relationship between the upper and lower officials in Ningxia is complex, this is complicated in the eyes of outsiders. In Zhuzhi��s eyes, the military and political officials in Ningxia Town are nothing more than three categories. One is his own people, including several commanders and deputy generals under An Weixue and the General Administration of Ningxia Town; the other is Liu Jin's people, the town army eunuch Li Zeng and a small group of people around him, including Zhou Dong and others who have been ordered by the emperor for several months; the third group of people are centrists such as Jiang Han and others.

When the incident happened, Zhu Xiaoqi suspected that it was the work of Li Zeng, but he quickly ruled out this possibility; Li Zeng's strength in Ningxia Town is naturally not small, but he is just a middle official. He has a foothold in Ningxia Town because of the power of the inner court, even if he is aware of something secret, Li Zeng He will not be stupid enough to send people to sneak into the royal palace, because Li Zeng has been in Ningxia Town for a long time, and he will not know that Qingwang Mansion can never come in easily.

Besides, there is actually nothing to do with Liu Jin. Last autumn, he went to the capital to see Liu Jin. One is because he asked for Liu Jin, and the other is that he really wants to have some relationship with Liu Jin. Although Liu Jin is nothing in his eyes, after all, he is the head of the red man in the inner court around the emperor. It's beneficial to do something wrong with him.

It is possible to say that Liu Jin instructed Li Zeng to monitor his words and deeds, but Li Zeng will never do such a bold thing when he enters the house.

As for Jiang Han and others, it is even more impossible. Although these guys never make friends with themselves on the surface, they have never said a word to themselves, and they can't be so stupid to enter the royal palace curiously to see the secret.

After all kinds of possible characters were eliminated one by one, Zhu Yu gradually turned his eyes to the officials of non-Ningxia Town. Yang Yiqing may have the courage, but he absolutely did not have this motive. He was just responsible for the preparation of the border. He did not have to spy on any secrets, not to mention that he had publicly expressed his support for him for a long time. Yang Yiqing can basically be excluded from official business.

Who has the courage and motivation? The only one is Song Nan, the commander of Jinyiwei, who lives in the Guanxue Building of Wangfu. Zhu Yuqi knew for a long time that Song Nan did not come here to investigate the attack of Yang Yiqing, but for the murder of his assassins.

The three brocade guards in the royal palace were ordered to be killed by themselves, and they did not intend to kill themselves. After all, knowing the identity of these agents, their death would have caused some trouble, but if these guys hadn't jumped a lot in the palace, they would have suspected that they had seen some secrets that should not be seen. I'm afraid that if they reveal the news to the Jinyiwei government, they will never give this order.

Since killing these three people, Zhu Hao knew that Song Nan would definitely investigate the matter. Since last night, these people entered the palace but bumped into the north barracks where the guards were stationed like headless flies, which can explain a problem. The people who entered are not familiar with the transformed royal palace, and will never be Ningxia town officials who frequently visited the royal palace. Member.

Is it really Song Nan? Although Zhu Yuqi has many doubts in his heart, he can't be completely sure, because Song Nan doesn't think he is such a reckless person. If he sends people into the Qing Palace, once he is found, the consequences will be extremely serious. As an important minister of the imperial court, it is the time when it is as moist as the sun. How could Song Nan take this risk? Song Nan will not seriously consider the consequences.

But in any case, he is the most suspected, and Zhu Yujun decided to send someone to test Song Nan. So on the morning, he left the royal palace. He came to the governor's office in the name of the thief newspaper officer of the royal palace and found An Weixue. He asked An Weixue to go to the Guanxue Tower for himself to test Song Nan.

An Weixue is naturally a hundred wishes. After discussing with the king of Anhua, An Weixue came to the Snow Tower in the afternoon to see Song Nan. However, he only saw Wang Yong and Hou Dabiao under Song Nan. Song Nan himself was said to have suffered a cold last night and was sick in bed with a fever.

An Weixue was even more suspicious. The prince said that the two thieves were still trapped in the royal palace last night, and Song Nan actually disappeared, and there was absolutely a problem here. Although at the beginning, he thought that even if it was the work of Jinyiwei, it was Song Nan's subordinates to enter the house, and it was impossible for Song Nan to take risks by himself, however, this person It's unexpected. In case he dared to do this, he can make it through if he doesn't see others at this time.

Of course, An Weixue refused to be fooled away. The more he was allowed to see him, the more he wanted to see him, so he insisted on going upstairs to visit Song Nan. Wang Yong and Hou Dabiao didn't let him. When they were making trouble under the stairs, a brocade guard upstairs said, "The marquis asked what he doing downstairs?" Is it noisy to live in peace?"

An Weixue hurriedly shouted to the upstairs, "Lord Song, the subordinate An Weixue has important things to report to the lord. The eldest man doesn't have to get up even if he is uncomfortable. The subordinate only stands in front of the door and speaks."

The personal guard shrank his head and looked back for a while and said, "The marquis said that since Lord An had something important to report, he asked Lord An to come into the room to talk, but the doctor said that the marquis could not see the wind, and the lord only talked by the bed."

An Weixue hurriedly said, "That's natural."

An Weixue ignored Wang Yong and Hou Dabiao's fiery eyes, bowed his hand with a smile, kicked upstairs and entered the door. A pungent smell of medicine rushed into his nostrils. The big mantle in the room was tightly covered, and there were medicine bowls and other things on the bedside cabinet outside the mantle.

"Marquis, why did you suffer from the wind and cold? Is it better?" An Weixue bowed his hand to the raised quilt in the tent and asked with concern.

**'s 'Song Nan' coughed a few times and said with a hoarse throat, "Who said that? In addition to snowing and wind, the weather in Ningxia Town is very cold, probably because it is not adapting to the climate here, so that it is cold."

Although Song Nan's voice is different from day and is much more hoarse at this moment, An Weixue can still hear it. This is Song Nan's voice, probably because of coughing and hoarse voice, so that his voice is a little different.

"So, the bitter cold place in Ningxia is naturally incomparable with the capital. The marquis has stayed in the capital for a long time. It is inevitable that there will be some discomfort in the bitter cold place."

"Yes, I still held on in the morning. I planned to take advantage of today's fine weather to measure the work of Tianmu, but unexpectedly, I put on my armor and couldn't move my steps, so I had to lie down again, hey!"

An Weixue had already seen Song Nan's brocade official uniform hanging on the wooden shelf beside him, which confirmed that a stone fell to the ground in his heart.

Song Nan coughed several times and seemed to be seriously ill. An Weixue had nothing to say. Hearing the sound of coughing, he looked down the steps and arched his hand and said, "I had something to report to the marquis, but since the marquis has been so ill, it's better not to disturb him. The marquis is easy to raise his life, and the subordinate will leave for the time being."

Song Nan coughed and gasped vaguely and said, "If it's an emergency, just say so. Don't delay your business because of me."

An Weixue smiled and said, "It's not a business, but a strange thing happened last night. There was a thief in King Qing's mansion. After knowing it, the subordinate thought of the attack of Lord Yang and the killing of more than a dozen people in the city a few years ago. He suspected that it was the work of the same group of people, so he wanted to quickly come to inform the marquis, which may be helpful for the marquis's investigation of the case. ."

Song Nan was stunned and said slowly, "Is there such a thing? This is a clue. Lord An has a heart, and this matter is very important. Presumably, this group of people have been captured by the prince's guards. After I'm a little better, I'm going to trial these people. Maybe it's really rewarding.

An Weixue shook his head and said, "It's a pity that this group of people have not been arrested. The prince is also very angry about this, and I am also ashamed. Such things have happened repeatedly in Ningxia Town, and the subordinate officials are ashamed."

"How can you not catch it? Does the Qingwang Mansion go in and out at will?

"Who didn't say that he knew that they had come in, but he didn't find it. The prince asked me to take someone to investigate the trace. I thought that the marquis's brocade guard was an experts in this matter. I wanted to ask the marquis to go with him, but I didn't expect that the marquis was ill."

Song Nan coughed a few times and said, "It's really unfortunate. There's no way. I have a good rest today, and I will definitely get better tomorrow. Tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival, and this group of people may also make trouble at the Shangyuan Night Lantern Festival. I'll take someone to check their tracks tomorrow night, and maybe I can catch them all.

An Weixue nodded and said, "Well, well, the marquis is resting, and the subordinate is temporarily resigning. If the royal palace catches the thief, do you want to report it?"

In the account, Song Nan said feebly, "This is the matter of your governor's government. When I get well, I will only go to the trial, and I don't have to bother you to tell you. This group of people are outlaw. If they are caught, they will be tortured and forced to confess. Otherwise, they will definitely deny it to the death. If the governor needs the help of Jinyi guard, I will Jinyiwei's 18 methods of torture can be used, as long as the governor opens his mouth. But you have to catch it first."

An Weixue hurriedly said, "Thank you, marquis. The subordinates are not worried about whether they can be caught. In fact, the prince already knows their hiding place, but just wants to know if they have accomplices. The prince even let them escape, so that they will return to the nest and then they will know who their accomplices are."

An Weixue made up lies while carefully listening to Song Nan's reaction. Song Nan in the account said vaguely, "So that's it. Can I still let the thief escape from the royal palace with the prince's ability? It turned out to be a long-line fishing strategy. So good, it's better to catch them all."

An Weixue repeatedly said yes, and with a dry smile, he urged the marquis to take care of his health, and then he left contentedly.
