All the way back to Beijing, the scenery in late autumn was very beautiful. On both sides of the official road, there were mostly half-yellow trees, and the yellowish leaves were plundered by the autumn wind, and layers of gold fell.
The horse can run very fast, but Grandma Yuan couldn't bear the bumps, so Yu Wenhao told Xu Yi to slow down and walk slowly.
The son of Hong Ye seemed to particularly like the scenery of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and he was greedy to watch along the way, sometimes delaying the horse's journey.
Especially at the return pass, he looked at the yellowish and half-green mountains and plains, full of praise, "His Royal Highness said before that if I die in a foreign land, listening to life and sadness, but looking at this wonderful scenery, dying here, is it not a kind of happiness? "
Looking at his obsessive landscape, Yu Wenhao didn't take it lightly. On the contrary, he felt even more unpredictable.
"If the son feels happy to die here, this king won't stop it." Yu Wenhao retracted his eyes and slowly rode his horse.
Hong Ye Gongzi laughed meaningfully.
Ming and Yuan Emperor's first punishment on Prince Bao came down, and he took the title of Prince.
Prince Bao was granted by Emperor Huizong at the time, and he was granted the position of prince when he was young. According to the rules, the emperor’s son can only be named as the prince. Even if Prince Yu had never rebelled, Prince Bao could only be granted. A county king.
Emperor Huizong’s kindness to this nephew was so majestic that he did not exchange his loyalty and piety. Instead, he was digging graves and corpses by the destroyed imperial tomb. How could he not make Ming Yuan emperor angry
It's not an exaggeration to kill him.
However, the Bingyutu has not been retrieved, and the investigation of this matter has not yet completed a complete result, so the Emperor Ming Yuan left him a life for the time being.
When Yu Wenhao and his party arrived in Wuzhou, Gu Si took someone to pick up the newsletter. After exchanging some information, Yu Wenhao handed over Grandma Yuan and Young Master Hongye to Gu Si, and he and Xu Yixian rode back to Beijing.
Back in Beijing, head straight to Prince Bao's Mansion. Although Prince Anfeng asked a few things, there were still many doubts. He needed to solve his doubts.
Prince Bao heard that the old lady was safe, and he was relieved, "This king is very sorry to her."
Yu Wenhao said indifferently, "Leave these words to Lu Yuan. He was hurt by you and he hasn't woken up yet."
Prince Bao's face was silent, "Although I injured Lu Yuan, I didn't intend to kill him. I was surprised by this result. His martial arts are so high, so he wouldn't be hurt so badly."
"You didn't intend to kill him?" Yu Wenhao didn't believe it, "he saw you, wouldn't you expose yourself if you didn't kill him?"
Prince Bao said indifferently: "Did you really see it? It was pitch black at the time. He may have a keen sense of observation, but as long as I deny it, who would believe him? I suddenly attacked him, just to snatch his horse and escape. Go, not to kill, in this entire layout, if you can not kill, I will never kill."
"It's a pity, what about the girl on the flower boat? Didn't you kill you? You set up this series of traps and almost made Lao Qi all fall into it. How sinister is your intention?"
Prince Bao's face was silent and faintly said: "Yes, I killed both the master and the servant. As for the frame of Lao Qi, it was not a sinister intention. I knew he would be fine, but the situation would be turbulent then. Be messy, and the more people I can involve, the safer I will be."
"What about the iron medal? You deliberately left the iron medal and let the father bind his hands and feet. Is it also to make the situation more messy?"
Prince Bao sighed, "I got the iron medal long ago. I thought at the time that if something was revealed, this iron medal could save my family, so I wouldn't use it easily. However, I know you traced it to me that night. The escape route, knowing that I have been in the flower boat, although I have killed the master and servant who saw my face, I can’t help it.”
Yu Wenhao said coldly: "It's a pity that you didn't know that Chun Niang was the one who received you that day, but her maid did not come due to illness. Liu Er's maid replaced her, so even if you kill Chun Niang's servant , But Liu'er's maid is the one who really met you, and she also picked up the iron medal you left behind."
Prince Bao looked at him and smiled faintly, "Do you really think this is the case?"
Yu Wenhao also looked at him, and suddenly there was a flash of light in his mind, "No, the master servant of Chunniang has indeed seen you with his own eyes. As for Liu'er's maid, you bought it."
Prince Bao showed a hint of admiration, "The prince is really smart. That's right. The one who served me in the flower boat that night was indeed the master and servant of Chun Niang. If there were only these two people, I would admit that I was wrong. I really don’t deserve to do anything big. It’s inconvenient to dive and escape with Bingyutu, so I gave them money and asked them to help me take the Bingyutu ashore and bring them back to their homes. They promised to give them a lot of money. The Qinlou woman made a lot of money, so she naturally agreed. So he went to retrieve the military map and killed them. Later, when he learned that Old Qi had found the flower boat, he bought Liu'er’s maid and left an iron sign. When the time comes, someone will come and find something, just give it to he is the one."
"So, you left the iron medal after the fact? Why? Warning? Or provocation? Or threat? Or, like you said, to make the water more muddy?"
"Both," Prince Bao did not deny. "The more people you suspected at the time, the more you had to scatter your staff to investigate. This would make time for me to transfer military maps and secretly forge in Xizhe, because, in this way Among the people who are close to the emperor, I am the least suspicious. You may not send someone to watch me, but I still miscalculated the prince’s caution. If he is as idle as me, you are still watching."
Yu Wenhao had to admire his thoughtfulness, "So, you put the fake military maps in Yu Wenjun's study just to delay time?"
"For two reasons, the first one is that when you searched out the military map from Prince Ji’s mansion, he became the first suspected object, and he naturally allocated a large part of my attention. Second, after the military map was obtained, I didn’t understand, I was not too worried at the time, because Da Zhou would definitely send someone to note that, so I have been waiting for this person to appear and take them away. I learned from them that something happened to Da Zhou. In other words, the soldier map I have is the only one in the world. Ironically, this person does not know how to annotate the soldier map. In other words, if I took him away, I was in vain without any real help. I still don’t understand the map."
"So, you also have to observe who can interpret the military map through the matter of Prince Ji's Mansion."
Prince Bao sighed lightly, "This is also a helpless move. Many things have been planned in a hurry, and it is understandable that they cannot be as expected."
Yu Wenhao nodded and stared at him, "The last question, who told you that Prince Ji's study was about to be stolen? How did you get in and place the military map in the secret room? Who is the person who is connected to you? "
