"Ever seen it? Where? Yun Xi heard Song Liang's voice, turned his head back suddenly, and looked at it carefully, but he didn't recognize it, so he had to ask.

"Your Majesty, Fifth Young Master, do you still remember the people you met when Hongwu went out to the north in the twenty-eighth year and passed by Boxing County, Shandong?" Song Liang said again.

"Passing through Boxing County, Shandong?" Yun Xi looked at the eight people not far away, and noticed that a few people who looked like thugs had come out of the restaurant, and they were pushing and shoving with these eight people, with the intention of making a move; I heard another thug shouting, "Why don't you look down on you hillbillies from other places?" Dare to make trouble in Laiyilou, don't you think you have a long life? He frowned.

In his opinion, although the actions of these eight people are also inappropriate, after all, there is a reason for the incident, it is the guys in the restaurant who look down on people first, and it is unreasonable for the people in the restaurant to do this; And the thugs talked too wildly, which made him very unhappy. No matter who the owner behind it is, a few doglegs are so arrogant, but it can't be done.

Zhu Youwei immediately noticed the change in Yun Xi's expression. Although Laiyilou is not the property of King Zhou's mansion, after all, in Kaifeng, he has no face when such a thing happens under the emperor's nose, and he is afraid that Yunxi will suddenly make something, so he always pays attention to him.

Seeing Yun Xi's expression change, he immediately sent another person over. Walking up to one of the thugs and not knowing what to say, this man gave a few orders, and the thug who came to the Yilou was stunned for a moment, and then took a few steps back. Although the situation is still tense, it has eased up a little bit compared to just now.

Yun Xi glanced at Zhu Youstew, didn't speak, just began to pay attention to the appearance of the eight people, looked at it for a while and still couldn't remember, and asked again: "Song Liang, under what circumstances have we seen these eight people?" ”

"Fifth young master, at that time, we just left the boundary of Qingzhou and came to Boxing County, young master, you were drinking tea in a tea shop, and I met these eight people who were headed by twenty big men and asked for a bowl of tea each, while scolding His Royal Highness the King of Qi while drinking tea to quench their thirst, let's talk to them, young master, you claim to be a Xiucai from Luanzhou, Yongping Prefecture, and the person at the head claims to be called Tang Caichang, a native of Binzhou." Song Liang said. He was one of the only two remaining guards who followed Yunxi's northern tour that year, and he usually had a good memory, and Tang Caichang and his group were also very distinctive: they all claimed to be ordinary people, and they had just returned from Yidu County from servitude, but they were all strong men with strong martial arts, and they also seemed to have kung fu, so they remembered it.

"Huh?" Although Yun Xi hadn't remembered them yet, when he heard Song Liang's words, he had doubts in his heart: "At this time, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people are not allowed to leave the boundary of their place of residence within a radius of twenty miles, which is almost the scope of a county or state, and the distance from Kaifeng to their hometown Binzhou is far more than twenty miles, so it is unreasonable for them to appear here at this time. ’

Of course, it cannot be assumed that they left the country illegally on this basis, and it is possible that they were hired as guards by some big businessman, transferred to Henan to serve in forced labor, or some other valid reason.

At this time, this matter has been adjusted, although the people who came to the Yilou were dissatisfied, but the thugs also dispersed, and the people on Tang Caichang's side also picked up the silver on the ground, turned around and left the door of the Yilou.

Yun Xi hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to ignore it. There are so many things in the world, where do you pay attention to it? turned around again, and was about to return to the Zhou Palace.

But I didn't want Tang Caichang and his party to come this way. Although the road was not narrow, it allowed them to occupy half of the street at once, leaving only the other half of the street for other people to walk. When ordinary people saw that there were so many of them, and they were well dressed, they knew that not ordinary people were hiding from them; But Tang Caichang's group somehow, although they also dodged, they didn't completely dodge, and one of them collided with one of Yun Xi's guards.

"Why don't you look at it when you're walking!" Yun Xi's guard said.

The man who bumped into him turned his head, the smell of wine emanating from his body, and opened his mouth to say a few words, but they were all indistinct, and he didn't know what he was saying.

The guard snorted in a dark voice. No wonder as a foreigner, he doesn't look like an official eunuch, so he dares to make trouble at the door of someone's restaurant, it turns out that he is drunk! He secretly glanced at Yun Xi, decided not to make a big fuss, reached out and pushed away the person who hit him, and said, "You are drunk, I don't care about you." "Turn around and leave.

But he didn't want the drunkard to be unrelenting, so he came over and grabbed the guard; The guards tried to push him away, but this time they didn't succeed.

The guard's face changed suddenly: these people have kung fu in their hands, and they used kung fu just now. Countless situations flashed in his mind, including what the old guards had taught them when they had just entered the palace as guards, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he used his grappling technique as soon as he raised his arms, and shouted: "Be careful!" ”

In an instant, more than a dozen guards surrounded Tang Caichang and the others in the middle, and they were about to capture them; Although Tang Caichang and the others resisted hard, everyone drank alcohol, and they could only show eight or even six points of their martial arts, and they were all arrested soon.

Yun Xi inquired about the situation just now, and whispered to Song Liang: "Bring them all back to the Zhou Palace, and a few of you will interrogate you if you are here to assassinate me." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Song Liang also agreed softly, and commanded the guards to take them away.

The people watching the excitement were indignant about this: 'The eunuchs are bullying the ordinary people again. But no one dared to meddle in their own affairs, just muttering a few words. On the way back, I met a few policemen, and I was quite diligent and stepped forward to ask a few words, but after seeing the waist card of Zhou Wangfu, I quickly dispersed, and I didn't see it.

Yun Xi returned to the Zhou Palace, chatting and eating with Zhu Hu and Zhu Youstew's father and son, and Song Liang escorted them to the backyard to start interrogation.

Early the next morning, Yun Xi got up and answered a few papers, suddenly remembered this matter, sent Lu Yi to call Song Liang, and asked, "What did the interrogation reveal about those people who were arrested yesterday?" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers woke them up and interrogated them overnight, but they didn't ask anything, I feel that they should be ordinary people, not assassins who came to assassinate Your Majesty."

"Oh? Then why did they appear in Kaifeng Mansion, thousands of miles away from their hometown Binzhou? ”

"Your Majesty, they say, because they earn too little money from farming at home, they come out to do business together. One of the eight men was a merchant who could walk without a guide, and bribed the officials of the state government to open the way for the other seven to be led out to trade. ”

"They trafficked the goods to Kaifeng, earned some money, and got together for a drink. Drinking and drinking, some people said that they had never been to the restaurant, so they came to the restaurant to eat. And there is the rest of the matter. ”

Yun Xi asked a few more words, felt that there was no problem, took a few interrogations from him, and after a cursory look, there was no problem, and said: "Since this is the case, let them ......" Halfway through speaking, there was no sound.

Song Liang was waiting to listen to the words behind, but suddenly there was no sound, and he couldn't help but raise his head, and saw Yun Xi with a very surprised look on his face.
