The situation changed overnight, and the Xie family, the richest man in Lantai, was also placed under house arrest. No one knew exactly what happened, but they all speculated that it was related to the disappearance of the little princess.
However, the little princess went out early in the morning, happily leading the guards and maids to go shopping, and there was Zhao Guanren carrying a bag. Those who didn't know thought that Zhao Guanren had cleaned himself up and entered the palace as a little eunuch.
"Your Highness! Elder Ge! There is something strange about this matter..."
Ouyang Qianhu stood in the study with his fists folded, and beside him was Chen Qianhu standing with hands down. Prince Duan and Xia Shoufu were sitting opposite them drinking tea.
"Let's talk about the strangeness..."
Prince Duan said with some displeasure: "I will ask you first, have you caught the escaped thief, and all of you Lantai have given me a lot of trouble!"
"Uh~ the bodies of the two thieves have been found, and the fugitives are looking for them..."
Ouyang Qianhu put down his hands and said: "Your Highness! There is something really strange. Someone saw Zhao Yunxuan in Hexi last night, with a man and a woman with him, who looked like the little princess and the chief eunuch, but... Zhao Yunxuan took them to gamble files!"
"Where can I go if I don't go to a gambling stall at night, a brothel..."
Prince Duan slapped the coffee table heavily, and said angrily: "Do you want outsiders to know that the thief kidnapped my little daughter under my nose? Did the guard dereliction of duty?"
"His Royal Highness, please be patient..."
Xia Shoufu put down the tea bowl and said: "The guards of the Jingdu did seriously dereliction of duty. They asked me to stay in Xie's house, but they didn't check it out in advance. However, if you want to say that Xie's family hooked up with the auspicious thieves, the old minister doesn't quite believe it. The reason why the thieves are still waiting to be caught!"
"Your Highness! This matter has been investigated by the officials, but very few people know about the secret way..."
Ouyang Qianhu said: "Three female relatives have lived in the place where the secret way leads. It was set up by their father and son's adultery, so they are ashamed to speak to the outside world!"
"What a mess..."
Prince Duan was stunned and said: "Why is it that they are sister-in-law, mother and daughter, and the eldest son's sister-in-law? Could it be that their father and son have committed adultery with relatives and female relatives?"
"Exactly! Father and son of the Xie family have a habit of eating grass beside the nest..."
Ouyang Qianhu replied: "Mr. Xie's younger sister-in-law is widowed in Xie's mansion. In fact, she has defaulted to a partial house, but her daughter also gave birth to a pair of children for Xie's family. It is still unclear who is from Xie's family. Not only did he commit adultery with his cousin, but he even committed adultery with his own sister, it was a mess!"
"It's really messy enough, I'm confused..."
Prince Duan frowned and asked: "Listen to what you mean, the Xie family doesn't know about it, where did the lucky thief come from, and can he still escape from the ground?"
"It should have been targeted by the thieves, exposing the entrance to the secret passage..."
Ouyang Qianhu said: "A lot of people knew about the Imperial Envoy coming to Lantai half a month ago, and only the Bian Xie family in Lantai is qualified to receive the Imperial Envoy, but the Bian Mansion has been placed under house arrest by us, and only the Xie family is left. The thief is planning to lurk here!"
"This statement is reasonable..."
Xia Shoufu said: "The Xie family did not miss out. If someone hooked up with the thief and found out that the little princess was missing, he should have fled without a trace. Therefore, the Xie family deserved it and was unlucky. If there were no such dirty things, How could such a catastrophe of beheading fall into their family!"
"Hmph~ They deserve to be unlucky, but they have brought my little princess into trouble. This matter is endless..."
Prince Duan pointed to the two thousand households and said: "Listen up! From now on, Zhao Yunxuan will be transferred from the Jingdu Weichang, and will be transferred to the Ministry of Officials as a secret agent. Towards the prevention and treatment of all diseases, big or small!"
"..."
The eyeballs of the two thousand households popped out. Although they had expected that Zhao Guanren would be promoted, Prince Duan did not have the power to promote others. Besides, this "epidemic promotion" was something that had never been heard of.
"This is the meaning of the Holy Majesty. If it is verified that Zhao Yunxuan has done a good job in preventing the epidemic, he will be promoted to the promotion of the epidemic..."
Xia Shoufu said indifferently: "You should be grateful to Zhao Yunxuan, if he hadn't desperately rescued the little princess, the head of one of your guards would not be enough for the saint to chop off, but the concentrated corpse poison that was sent to the frontier before, you and others did not share with Zhao Yunxuan. Shall we discuss it with Xuan?"
"Old man!"
Chen Qianhu clasped his fists and said: "Zhao Yunxuan was only a seventh-rank supervisor at the beginning. The fewer people who know about such major events, the better. Find out the leaker!"
"Stupid! All of you are so overjoyed that you have wasted such a great opportunity..."
Xia Shoufu also slapped the table and said angrily: "My dynasty's spies have already succeeded in the territory of Ji Kingdom. The three border towns all dropped corpse poison, but the corpse poison had no effect when it reached the border. It damaged my dynasty's sixteen elite spies in vain. Don't you even know that corpse poison has a shelf life?"
"Guarantee, shelf life?"
The two Qianhu looked at each other in surprise.
"A three-year-old child understands the reason why you can't drink overnight tea. Everything has a shelf life..."
Xia Shoufu paused with his tea bowl and said angrily: "If you have read the "Epidemic Prevention Handbook" written by Zhao Yunxuan carefully, you should know that the corpse poison will be invalid at most three days after opening the altar, and the poisonous water in the well will always exist. Because there are corpses soaking in it!"
"this… "
Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the two Qianhus, and Chen Qianhu stammered: "I, I, etc. are from martial arts, and I don't have the habit of reading. It's really our negligence. I will study the epidemic prevention manual carefully when I go back!"
"It's late! No one knows your little thoughts, isn't it because you are afraid that Zhao Yunxuan will steal the credit..."
Prince Duan glared and said: "If it wasn't for you being jealous and jealous, and excluding Zhao Yunxuan, how could I, Dashun, have lost troops and lost generals? Do you know that when the Holy Majesty heard about this, he threw the teacup in the court and made your commanding and scolding dogs bloody Otherwise, why wouldn't he come this time?"
"The crime of humble duty deserves death, please punish me..."
The two thousand households knelt on the ground, and they had already greeted the eighteenth generation of Zhao Guanren's ancestors in their hearts. Although they deliberately excluded Zhao Guanren, the boy never mentioned the shelf life, and only published a "Epidemic Prevention Manual" in the past two days. , who the hell had time to see.
"You two listen to me..."
Prince Duan pointed at the two of them and shouted: "What happened last night is related to the honor and disgrace of my royal family. This king now orders you two to perform crimes and make meritorious deeds. If you can't catch the fugitive thief, you two will come to see you. Who dares to reveal half of this matter?" Words, whose head this king wants! Get lost!"
"yes!"
The two thousand households ran out with pale faces, just as the little princess ran in bouncing around, threw herself into Prince Duan's arms, pulled his beard and acted coquettishly.
"Hahaha… "
Prince Duan and Blind Shoufu laughed heartily, which made this innocent little girl amused, but even if they were beaten to death, they would never have imagined that she also used this posture last night, lying in Zhao Guanren's arms, eating tongue and kissing, and chatting about men and women Things.
"Grandpa Ge! Ning'er asks you a question, how many steps to put an elephant into the closet..."
The little princess jumped up with a grimace, and the two looked at each other for a moment. Xia Shoufu hesitated and said, "How can an elephant fit into this closet? I'm afraid it will be difficult for a small elephant!"
"It can't be stuffed into it..."
Prince Duan looked at her in astonishment, but the little princess smiled and said, "You guys are stupid! Of course the wardrobe in the elephant's house is very big. Just open the cabinet, kick the elephant in, and then close the door. ! Haha~"
"Ha~"
Xia Shoufu said with a smile: "The Princess is deeply favored by the Holy One, and she is indeed extremely intelligent. The old minister is really stupid, it's really incomparable!"
"Then let me ask you again, which came first, the chicken or the egg..."
The little princess arrogantly crossed Xiaoman's waist, brought out all the brain teasers that Zhao Guanren had said, and tortured them, and the two of them were questioned again.
Confused, unable to answer a single question.
"Ghost girl!"
Looking at the "innocent and pure" little girl, Prince Duan couldn't help laughing and said: "Zhao Yunxuan taught you all these nonsense, right? That kid is not serious, don't listen to his nonsense!"
"What nonsense..."
The little princess said arrogantly: "This is to teach you to think about problems from another level, don't always be obsessed with the surface of things, Brother Yunxuan is a person who has learned a lot, alas~ You don't understand after I say it, I'm going out to play bowling Lah, bye!"
"Bye-Bye?"
The prince and Shoufu looked at each other in astonishment, but Xia Shoufu lowered his head and began to think hard, motionless like a log.
"Old man!"
Prince Duan said with a smile: "You are not still entangled with Ning'er's problem, are you? If you want me to say that there must be chickens first, if there are no chickens, then the person will not exist! Haha~"
"Your Highness! Don't you think it's strange..."
Xia Shoufu tapped the tea table and said: "Lantai County's big and small troubles are almost all related to Zhao Yunxuan. He found out the corpse plague and the lack of salt. Besides, isn't it like a thief shouting, "Catch the thief?"
"Can't you?"
Prince Duan was surprised and said: "This son is only in his weak years, how can he have such strong skills and scheming, besides, what is he trying to do, is it just for promotion?"
"Although he's a young man, he's calm and sophisticated, and he's extremely scheming..."
Xia Shoufu stroked his beard and said: "Ningzhou government praises him from top to bottom, and is deeply loved by the people. This is the first time I have seen such a scene as an old official who has been an official for dozens of years. Who doesn't slander each other among the factions? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!"
"this… "
Prince Duan wondered: "Ge Lao means that there is a big man behind this son, so that the whole Ningzhou has to bow their heads?"
"No! The magistrate of Ningzhou avoided him, and the prefect also wanted to avoid suspicion..."
Xia Shoufu shook his head and said: "Although the rest of the officials praised him, none of them were willing to have a relationship with him, including Jingdu Weichang's attitude was very cautious, only Lantai magistrate obeyed him, so it seems that this son I'm afraid it's a sitting tiger!"
"Sitting tiger?"
Prince Duan was slightly taken aback.
"Your Highness is a passing dragon, and he is a sitting tiger..."
Xia Shoufu squinted his eyes and said: "The Bian family let him step on him half to death, and the Xie family also stepped into the gate of hell. Who can replace Lantai? Only Han Ji, but I can assert that the person behind Han Ji is him, so many All the troubles are paving the way for him, he has been promoted and made a fortune!"
"So powerful?"
Prince Duan opened his eyes wide and said: "If it's true what Elder Ge said, this kid has covered the sky with one hand in Lantai, and even the prefect of Ningzhou dare not contend with him, then in time, wouldn't the whole Ningzhou government have to listen to him?" Did he give orders to make him a vassal?"
"It was the little princess's words just now, which woke up the old minister..."
Xia Shoufu said in a deep voice: "I have only seen the appearance, and after digging carefully, I can understand that this Zhao Yunxuan is the thorn in the flesh. The depth of this city really frightens the old minister!"
"Actually..."
Prince Duan scratched his beard and said: "Who doesn't want to get promoted and get rich? Anyone who is an official doesn't think hard. As long as he does his errands well, it doesn't matter if he kills a few merchants. This king thinks that this son is quite talented and has a lot to do. !"
"Your Highness is right, let's give him a try..."
Xia Shoufu smiled and said: "Didn't Han Ji want the iron certificate of the Dan book? , then this son's vision and mind are not good, he is just good at calculating!"
"Um!"
Prince Duan pondered and said: "This matter is my father's test. If he can satisfy me and my father, I will grant his wish!"
