Chapter 64 The Surging of the Dark Stream

Liu Xia sat in the dark room of the royal palace, while Dabao stood behind Liu Xia.

This dark room was built by Liu Xia specially. It is connected to his study in the backyard of the royal palace.

The size of the dark room is not small. Four cells have been built, and there is also a lobby for interrogation.

At this moment, Liu Xia sat in the lobby, in the middle of the lobby, stood an iron pillar of black iron, tied to a depressed middleman.

And this person is the general who commands a mysterious army in an attempt to intercept even their stolen goods.

Liu Xia also has a deep memory about that unit.

Especially when they finally saw that they were surrounded by a large army, they could not escape, so they committed suicide one after another. Even the person in front of them wanted to suicide, but was forcibly rescued by Liu Xia.

Liu Xia always admires those warriors who can sacrifice their lives at a critical moment, even if those people are his enemies.

If a person is not afraid of death, then what else in this world can make them afraid?

Looking at the vicissitudes of life in front of her, Liu Xia couldn't help sighing.

"You don't have to work hard. I won't tell you anything."

At this time, the general raised his head and looked at Liu Xia with a sneer and said.

"Go and get ready."

Liu Xia said lightly.

Dabao turned around and walked out at this moment. For a moment, Cai Wei and Dabao appeared in the compartment in the lobby.

The compartment is in the lobby, separated by only one wall, which is convenient for Caiwei to get the confession.

With Cai Wei's mind-reading, this interrogation has become much easier.

Even if this person doesn't say anything, Cai Wei will know it clearly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Xia got up and walked towards the compartment.

When he saw Cai Wei, he asked, "How about it?"

"Brother, this man's name is Tan Yong. He is from southern Xinjiang. When he was young, he has been serving in the border garrison army in southern Xinjiang. He is good at cavalry. In the border garrison in southern Xinjiang, he has been sitting in the position of guerrilla general. Later, he was assigned for embezzling military squats. I just returned home five years ago. Later, he became a robber, with great power in the southern Xinjiang area. After several encirclement and exterrence, he stood firm near the Sky Mountain in southern Xinjiang.

Cai Wei said.

"Is he a robber?"

Liu Xia couldn't help but be stunned. She thought that as long as she figured out the relationship between him and the prince, the case would be at least half solved.

However, this person turned out to be a robber, which makes people speechless.

Moreover, the things involved are incredible.

No matter where the gang of more than 5,000 robbers are, it will attract the attention of the local clan and the government. It will definitely be encircled and suppress it all the time. As a result, he has existed in southern Xinjiang for five years, and the court turned a deaf ear.

"It's a good robber."

"What is his relationship with the prince?"

Liu Xia asked.

"Well, he doesn't seem to know the prince."

Cai Wei shook her head and said.

Hearing this, Liu Xia was speechless for a while.

This man did not know the prince, but he risked his life to cross thousands of miles and ran to the hinterland of the Central Plains to rob his people and army.

Moreover, how can such a group of people rush all the way from southern Xinjiang to the hinterland of the Central Plains in just two days without being found?

"Then why did he intercept us? Whose order is it?

Liu Xia asked.

"Brother, I'm afraid things are different from what you think. Although Tan Yong is the king of Zhanshan, he has always obeyed a man named Zhu Neng. As for Zhu Neng, in Tan Yong's memory, this person is his benefactor. His identity is mysterious. He once saved him three times when he was in his most crisis. He got Zhu Neng's order for this operation.

"So how did their people get together? How did it take just two days from southern Xinjiang to rush to the hinterland of the Central Plains to stop us?

Liu Xia asked puzzledly.

"Those people are not in southern Xinjiang. His subordinates are still in southern Xinjiang. The person who ambushed us this time is Zhu Neng's subordinates. In Tan Yong's memory, these bandits belong to an organization called the Southern Heroes Association. And Tan Yong is only one of the rudders. On the surface, they occupied the mountains in southern Xinjiang as kings, but in fact they all obeyed Zhu Neng's orders. This time, it happened that these helmsmen came to Guanshandu for a party, so Zhu Neng sent him to complete this task. As for where those people came from, Tan Yong didn't know anything. He is only responsible for commanding the battle.

Cai Wei explained.

When Liu Xia heard this, she suddenly understood.

"You mean that they are robbers on the surface, but in fact, they are a strictly organized army."

Liu Xia asked.

"You can also say that. Tan Yong is just a subordinate of Zhu Neng. His brothers said that most of the military uniforms needed were provided by Zhu Neng.

"What does Tan Yong think about Zhu Neng?"

Liu Xia asked.

"Well, Zhu Neng is like a savior in his heart, omnipotent. Tan Yong has great respect for Zhu Neng."

Cai Wei said.

After listening to this, Liu Xia couldn't help smiling bitterly.

Originally, I thought that capturing Tan Yong alive could become important evidence. Now it seems that Tan Yong is just a small building. I'm afraid that only by catching Zhu Neng can he form a chain of evidence.

As for who Zhu Neng is, Tan Yong doesn't know much, and I'm afraid this person is probably from the prince's house, and he must be the prince's confidant.

Thinking of this, Liu Xia opened the door and said, "Go and lock Tan Yong up."

After saying that, Liu Xia returned to the study along the dark road.

Sitting outside the study is on the edge of the table, surrounded by lush vegetation. Liu Xia took a breath of fresh air, but couldn't help frowning.

It is not easy to find that person in the prince's mansion.

The prince's mansion is also known as the East Palace. As the crown prince, the prince has the power to supervise the country.

The institutions in the house are no less than the imperial court.

First of all, there is a teacher of the prince in the prince's mansion, who is also the assistant minister of the East Palace, that is, the third prince, who are Taishi, Taifu and Taibao respectively.

There are still three orphans left, that is, the young master of the prince, the young master, and the young guard.

These people are all the prince's teachers. Although they are all false titles, these people have a very high status in the court.

That is the legendary minister.

The rest are the officials of Zhanshi Mansion, who assist the prince in his daily affairs.

From James to the regular character, from the third grade to the ninth grade, there are more than 30 people in total. I'm afraid it's not easy to find a person named Zhu Neng.

That day, when she came back from Prince Rui, Liu Xia realized another thing.

In addition to being loyal to the Holy Land, these officials in Longdu may also have their own plans.

After all, although the emperor is in his prime and spring and autumn are really prosperous, sooner or later there will be a day to leave.

For the sake of their own family and future career, these clans and officials will naturally choose the next generation of emperors, a good foundation early.

And the prince is the emperor of the next generation. Naturally, many officials in the dynasty will be loyal to the prince.

Of course, their choice is not the prince alone.

In addition to the prince, there are also the second prince, the third prince, and even the fourth prince.

Although they are not crown princes, they also hope to win the 95th.

This is like gambling. Most people are optimistic about the prince, but in case the prince can't ascend the throne in the future, those who oppress other princes are undoubtedly big winners.

Today's prince, who has been a prince for many years, has a stable foundation in Longdu. I'm afraid that more than half of the ten families are on the side of the prince, and more than half of the ministers in the court are also on the side of the prince.

Zhu Neng, as a close minister of the prince, is afraid that the resources in his hands are very huge.

Naturally, it's very easy for him to do what he wants to do.

As for those orphan ministers, I'm afraid it's hard to infer how many of them are on the prince's side.

Thinking of this, Liu Xia couldn't help smiling bitterly.

When I thought that everything was getting clear, I suddenly seemed to fall into a heavy fog.

Now there is only a batch of silver sent to the prince's fief, and the source of this silver is now broken.

The prince only needs to say that this silver is not his. Who can help him?

As for those who intercept Liu Xia, the prince only needs to say that I don't know them. Who can take the prince?

Besides, Liu Xia has always suspected that there are tricks behind this matter. After all, there are not one or two people who want to get rid of the prince.

Whether the prince is guilty or not cannot be determined.

After a circle, he finally returned to the original point.

is very puzzling.

After meditating for a moment, Liu Xia returned to the attic in the backyard.

When I opened the door, I saw a maid waiting for Bai Rongxuan to drink water.

Bai Rongxuan was seriously injured this time and took several months to recuperate. Now you can't walk on the ground.

Seeing Liu Xia, Bai Rongxuan wanted to struggle and salute. Liu Xia hurriedly supported him and said, "Lie down. How do you feel today?"

"What else can I do? I'm going crazy when I'm locked up in the house all day long. Now I'm looking forward to a speedy recovery.

Bai Rongxuan said with a wry smile.

"I'm really sorry for this incident. Don't worry, I will definitely find an explanation for you about this matter.

"The statement is secondary, but in the past few months when I am away, Longdu's industry has been sealed up. I'm afraid it will be a lot of loss. At the end of this year, there is no way to go back and explain."

Bai Rongxuan said.

"This is simple. I will compensate you for the Bai family. After all, this matter is all caused by me.

Liu Xia said with a smile.

When Rong Xuan heard Liu Xia's words, she was relieved.

In fact, the Bai family doesn't care about this little money, but the Bai family's development in Longdu is limited now. If Liu Xia is willing to help him through this incident, the Bai family's loss in Longdu is really not worth mentioning.

"I've been lying in bed recently. How is the matter between you and the prince?"

Bai Rongxuan asked curiously.

He is here these days. Dabao often comes to see him. In order to take care of his diet and living, he specially found a reliable maid from Baifu to serve him.

From the maid's mouth, Bai Rongxuan knew that there were imperial troops outside the royal palace every day recently, so he wanted to ask where the matter went.

After all, the prince is very powerful in Longdu, and he is not a good master to deal with.
