Chapter 167 Under the Light
"Your Highness.
How do you know that Kongming lanterns will fall to the ground in the posthouse? "
"Your Highness.
Dragging such a heavy object, why did the Kongming Lantern exhaust itself after traveling for several miles? "
"Your Highness.
What exactly is in the pot?
Why did it ignite the fire in an instant? "
"Your Highness..."
"stop!"
Hearing Wang Xuance's chatter, Su Jing stopped walking with a headache.
"Wang Xuance.
Although I accept you as an apprentice, Wei Wangtai will do all the preaching and work for you.
If you want to ask about the Kongming Lantern, you can find him yourself.
If he doesn't know, you can go home and review the book by yourself. "
"How could this be so, Your Highness!"
Wang Xuance raised his head resentfully, like a stray kitten abandoned by its owner.
"The student knows that his aptitude is dull, so he dare not bother His Highness too much.
But it is the responsibility of the teacher to preach the word, receive karma and solve doubts, so how can His Highness pretend to do it to others! "
"Since you know that Bengong is your master, you still dare to question Bengong?"
Su Jing glared at Wang Xuance angrily, and said: "You will come to Chongxian Hall to study at the first hour of the morning tomorrow, and you can go home after school at the first hour of the Xu hour.
Six hours a day, rain or shine, you should communicate with the elders in your family by yourself.
If it is inconvenient for you to be too far away from home, I can also rent a house outside Suzaku Gate for you to live temporarily. "
Wang Xuance lowered his head angrily, and cupped his hands in response: "Student, how dare you bother Your Highness.
Students will be properly settled before entering school tomorrow.
It's just that the student is a member of the Imperial College, if you don't tell me, you may cause the teacher to misunderstand.
Please also ask Your Highness to take a half-day vacation with me to let the students deal with the affairs of the Imperial College. "
"That's it!"
Su Jing waved his hand vigorously, nodded and said: "But you have to make up for the homework that is left today.
If you embarrass your teacher in Chongwen Hall, the teacher's punishment is not as simple as slapping the palm of your hand. "
"Students take note."
Wang Xuance bowed in response.
Su Jing smiled proudly.
Then he turned his head to look at the silent Ma Zhou, and asked, "Have you ever figured it out?"
Ma Zhou was startled when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "Return to Your Highness.
After much deliberation, I don't know who would pretend to be a Turk.
If it was a big family, it would definitely not be like this according to its arrogant and domineering temperament.
If it is a mission from another country, there is no such need. "
"Since you can't figure it out, why do you still think about it?"
Su Jing curled his lips and said, "Send someone to find out if someone has lost a treasure in the capital recently, or someone has been taken away by a strongman.
Since these people sneaked into Chang'an pretending to be Turks, they certainly would not return empty-handed.
By the way, send someone to the county government to ask if there has been a murder case recently.
Neighboring prefectures and counties also need to send people to inquire, and I want to know where these people come from. "
"promise!"
……
Su Jing and others are guessing the true purpose of the "Turkic" mission.
On the other side of Suzaku Avenue, two idle middle-aged people were also speculating on his thoughts.
"Keming, the old man always feels that something is wrong.
His Majesty is currently bedridden to recuperate from illness, why does His Highness the Crown Prince provoke trouble at this time?
With His Highness's always cautious temperament, today's burning of the post house was really too hasty. "
Holding the wine cup, Fang Xuanling caressed her long beard with a puzzled look on her face.
Du Ruhui shook his head, and said amusedly: "You and I were reprimanded by His Majesty just now, why are you thinking about Your Majesty's coming now?
Fang Xuanling.
You are so eager to figure out the meaning of the prince, what exactly do you want to do? "
"Hey!
you old man!
The old man is just chatting casually when he has nothing to do, so how can he speculate on the king's intentions. "
Fang Xuanling pretended to be angry when he heard the words.
Du Ruhui didn't seem to realize it.
Gently shaking the wine cup in his hand, he raised his glass and said, "Xuan Ling, you are really worrying too much.
Although the Lu family is a powerful family, it is not as deep-rooted as the five surnames and Qiwang.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is at odds with the Cui and Wang families, it is not that he does not dislike all the families in the world.
Thinking about it, with the wisdom of His Highness, he will never punish the world's aristocratic families.
If your wife is worried about being remembered by His Highness, it is better to find His Highness as soon as possible to express your feelings. "
Du Ruhui was outspoken.
Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded.
He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said calmly: "Wait a little longer.
His Highness has always held grudges, and the old man never believed that His Highness would stop making peace with the Wang family.
Presumably His Highness must have a plan in the dark, and it won't take long for the Wang family to be ruined.
And seeing what choice the grandson and old man will make at that time, it will not be too late for the old man to make a move. "
"Hahaha~"
Du Ruhui laughed out loud when he heard this.
Looking at Fang Xuanling who looked rather embarrassed, he said, "Ming people don't speak secretly.
Xuan Ling.
With the decisiveness you had when you took refuge in His Majesty, how could you be so hesitant today.
It must be because your wife doesn't want to, so you didn't dare to approach rashly just now.
But your old man is too much to advise you.
After His Highness disposes of the Wang family, you must not listen to the woman's words.
It's really not easy for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to learn from a recluse and stranger.
As I am in a high position, if I make a wrong step, I will be in danger of ransacking my family and exterminating my family! "
"Ugh!"
Fang Xuanling sighed heavily, but shook his head unwilling to argue.
If he dared to persuade his wife, why wait until today.
……
Du Ruhui and Du Ruhui attached great importance to Su Jing.
The secretive seven people who live in the third mansion on Suzaku Street are even more frightened because of it.
Today, when Su Jing went to Nie's Village, he almost bumped into the sixth brother among the seven.
If once Su Jing found out his identity, the rest of the people would never be able to escape Su Jing's investigation.
"Brother.
Now Li Rong's residence has been monitored by His Highness the Crown Prince, and the dead soldiers we sent can't get close.
And so far Li Rong's life and death are unknown, I will make a decision in the morning. "
The righteous second child cupped his hands and said.
The majestic man in the lead frowned and looked at the sixth-ranked wretched literati.
"Tell me carefully.
You met Li Rong today, what did he say? "
The wretched literati thought for a while, then replied softly: "Li Rong only said that it was his fault at the beginning, and he didn't want to involve you brothers.
He was willing to take responsibility for the kidnapping of His Highness all those years ago, and he would never confide a word to others. "
"Do you believe what he said?"
The upright man frowned, dissatisfied with the wretched man's actions.
"Second brother, why do you look down on me so much?"
The wretched man got up angrily, and said indignantly: "My little brother saw him drink poisoned wine before leaving.
Take my younger brother to see it today.
At that time, he was determined to die, and he definitely would not betray my brothers. "
"Know people, know faces, but don't know hearts!
How dare you guarantee that he will not reveal what we are waiting for to His Highness the Crown Prince before he dies? "
The upright man was full of disdain.
People like him, who have been pretending all the year round, are more and more aware of the unpredictability of people's hearts.
If Li Rong was unwilling before he died, he might have told Su Jing the secret back then.
When the time comes, once Empress Zhangsun finds out, no one present here will be able to leave alive.
"You are a fool!
At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already entered the village, do you want me to watch Li Rong die before leaving?
Second brother, you want me to die! "
The wretched man's eyes were cold.
The upright man is extremely disdainful.
"Since you know that the situation is urgent, why don't you personally send him on the road?
If he is really willing to bear it all, he will definitely not resist and blame him! "
"Oh~
The second brother is really brotherly.
Little brother has seen it today! "
"you!!!"
"All right!"
Seeing the two glaring at each other, the leading man patted the short guy next to him hard.
"I have sent the military sentry to inquire, and it will not take long for news to come back.
Please stay safe and don't be impatient, and don't hurt your brother's peace. "
"Yes, brother."
A group of six people agreed in unison.
Although the leading man's official position is not the highest, his methods are extremely frightening.
No one wants to be an enemy if it is not necessary.
"Report..."
At this moment, there was a soft knock outside the door.
"Master.
Just now the spies came to report, and the whole village of Niejia Village held a funeral.
Liu Rong...
Dead! "
