His arms were cut backwards to his body, and two powerful palms were pressed tightly on his shoulders. With a little force, his shoulders would be crushed.
The ordinary face of the middle-aged man turned pale and bloodless in an instant. Seeing that the guards were about to escort him forward, he said anxiously: "I said, I said... In the early morning, it was not just a small person who entered the palace through the side door , and there is another person…”
Murong Ye's eyes froze: "Who is he?"
"The little one doesn't know either." The middle-aged man shook his head and explained the matter: "That man approached the young one three days ago. He said that he had a relative who was working in the palace and wanted to sneak in. Gong, when we met, I asked the little one for help, but the little one didn't agree at first, but he insisted on pestering the little one, and gave the little one a hundred taels of silver as a reward. Money to support the family, and the man has repeatedly promised that he just went to the palace to see his relatives, and the younger one agreed..."
Having said that, the middle-aged man quietly raised his head to look at Murong Ye, and saw that his face was calm, and he was listening carefully, without the slightest sign of getting angry. The grass was given to the little one by him. After the little one lit the grass and smoked the guards guarding the side door into the latrine, he appeared, and then rushed into the side door. He was so fast that the little one chased him several Ten meters away, he disappeared, and the little one had to retreat to the side door and wait for him..."
Later, the little eunuchs in the palace brought Ye Xiang, and the man came back quietly. The palace was peaceful and quiet, without any abnormality, so he let go of his high hanging heart, and took Ye Xiang back home , I didn't expect that before noon, something happened...
I see.
Murong Ye nodded understandingly, and said leisurely, "What does that person look like?"
"The little one doesn't know." The middle-aged man shook his head and said in a low voice: "When he came to see the young one, he was always wearing a black cloak and a hood on his head, so you couldn't see his appearance at all..."
oh!
Murong Ye raised his sword eyebrows slightly, that man was really cautious, no wonder he was able to steal the jade seal from the palace in full view of everyone.
The mastermind of the theft was the man in the cloak. The middle-aged man in front of him was just an accomplice, or an accomplice who was being used by others.
Murong Ye gave the middle-aged man a sympathetic look, and said, "Take him to prison..." He was responsible for the theft of the jade seal, and even if he didn't know about it, he couldn't erase the fact that he was an accomplice...
Seeing that the guards were about to escort him to the prison, the middle-aged man's complexion became even paler, and he hurriedly said: "Don't, don't... Young Lord... The little one is willing to pay for his merits, for his merits... "
"Take credit for crime?" Murong Ye raised his eyebrows, his eyes swept over the thick, clumsy arms, legs, and fat figure of the middle-aged man, and finally fell on his ordinary face, and said with a half-smile: "Are you going to How do you make meritorious deeds?"
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and said word by word: "The little one knows where the man in the cloak is."
"Really?" Murong Ye looked at the middle-aged man in surprise: He thought he knew nothing about the man in the cloak, but now it seems that he knows a little...
The middle-aged man blushed under his gaze, and said embarrassingly: "I was also walking down the street yesterday evening, and I saw him by accident. Out of curiosity, I followed him quietly and found his whereabouts..."
