Because he didn't expect Xinyi to go to Mei Er's house that night to inquire about the whereabouts of Chen and Sima Luo, and couldn't enter the palace late at night to report the situation to Yang Guang in time, Zhang Heng had to take the stupid method of waiting for the rabbit, while sending additional people to the incense circulation outside Wanshanni Temple to stare at the mysterious visitor who was still unknown, and on the other hand, he personally sat in Qinxianli, leading a group of officials and sergeants to monitor Mei Er's movements.

However, to Zhang Heng's surprise, until dawn the next day, Mei Er was not found to have any movement at home.

Because yesterday in the Jin Palace, I heard Yang Guang deduce that Gao Liansheng might also be Nan Chen Xizuo, and even Guan Zizai, the big leader of the "Wild Goose's Nest", so in the process of monitoring the Mei Mansion one night, Zhang Heng specially told the sergeants to pay close attention to whether there was any abnormal news between the Mei Mansion and the Gao Mansion next door, and whether Mei Er would climb over the wall and enter the next door to pass the message to people, but the three or four sergeants replied in unison that they had not found anything.

"Could it be that Mei Er is not afraid of the threat of the mysterious visitor's words, or will he wait until dawn to find someone to contact?" Zhang Heng muttered in his heart, seeing that the sky was already bright, he waited for the sergeant who came to take over during the day to arrive, and told them to keep an eye on Mei Er every step of the way, and once he found out that he was looking for someone to contact him, he would report to him at any time, and then prepare to enter the palace to ask to see Yang Guang and report to him about the incident that happened last night.

As soon as Zhang Heng left Qinxianli, he met a hussar battalion sergeant under Li Hun and reported to him: "The mysterious visitor who came to visit the Mei Mansion last night entered the Wanshanni Temple as soon as the mountain gate opened today, and stayed in the temple for about a pillar of incense, then left the temple, returned to the incense circulation and fell asleep. ”

Zhang Heng got the report, smiled slightly, and thought: As expected, it was Xinyi herself who came to visit the Mei Mansion in Qinxianli last night, she must have sent Gu Sheng to the West Market to shake a shot first, and then took advantage of Gu Sheng's return to the temple to return to her to restore the Buddhist scriptures she bought, changed her outfit with Gu Sheng, and mixed out of the temple in the appearance of Gu Sheng, and then quietly came to Qinxianli in the evening to inquire about Mei Er's news of her daughter's dust, so cleverly planned, it was difficult for her.

"Take my words to General Li Hun, you don't have to stare at the person in the incense circulation outside the temple, just keep an eye on the heart inside the temple." Zhang Heng lightly left an explanation for the sergeant, and walked in the direction of Daxing Palace.

Although it can be preliminarily inferred from the two interrelated things that Xiao Zong was killed in Jiangling Palace from the appearance of the golden needle stolen by Xiao E, and Xiao Rushui's appearance in Jiangling, the evil ghost who repeatedly sneaked into Daxing Palace to cause trouble was played by Xiao Rushui himself, however, Daxing Palace is after all a forbidden palace where the emperor and queen and many members of the royal family and concubines in the palace live daily. Zhang Heng rushed to the palace gate and proposed to the forbidden army guarding the palace gate that he wanted to invite the king of Jin to come out of the palace to meet him, the sergeants went to Lanzhi Palace to spread the word and came back to report to Zhang Hengyu: "Princess Jin has something to say, the prince has just fallen asleep in the morning, and when the prince wakes up, she will tell the prince that the prince will ask Zhang Bei to drive to the palace of the king of Jin to meet." ”

Zhang Heng got this reply, and thought about it, anyway, the reply deadline agreed with Mei Er last night will not be counted until tomorrow, and he has been staring at the relatives all night, so it is better to take advantage of Yang Guang's wake-up early in the morning, go back to the Jin Palace, and wait for the Jin Palace's envoy to report to Yang Guangyu, wouldn't it be inconvenient?

Thinking like this, Zhang Heng didn't insist on seeing Yang Guang immediately, and turned around and walked towards the Jin Palace.

When Zhang Heng woke up in a secluded duty room in the Jin Palace, he found that it was already sunny outside the window, so he beckoned the sergeant who was waiting outside the door to come in and instructed him: "You go to the main hall in the front yard to take a look, has the prince returned to the house?" ”

When he finished washing and changing clothes in the room, he saw the sergeant come to report: "Don't drive, the prince has not returned to the house yet, but the princess is now in the mansion and is talking to Xiao Gongzi in the front courtyard hall." ”

After the destruction of the Later Liang Dynasty, Xiao Yu naturally changed from the prince of the Later Liang to the Xiao Gongzi in everyone's mouth. Zhang Heng heard the sergeant's report that Yang Guang had not yet returned home from the palace, so he ordered someone to prepare some food for himself, intending to continue to investigate the case day and night after his stomach was full.

Who knew that when the sergeant received the order and left for a short time, he returned to the duty room to convey Xiao E's invitation to Zhang Heng: "The princess summoned Zhang Beijia to meet him immediately in the main hall of the palace." ”

Helpless, Zhang Heng had to hurry to the main hall in the front yard to see Xiao Er hungry.

"I heard that Jianping, you didn't sleep all night last night, but you were trying to monitor the movements of Mrs. Xinyi?" Xiao E had already prepared a snack for Zhang Heng in the main hall, and when he saw him walk into the hall, he beckoned him to sit down and eat a snack, and at the same time, asked with concern.

Zhang Heng saw that Xiao Yu was still standing upright in front of Xiao E in the hall, and it was inconvenient for him to sit down, so he also stood and replied, "Thank you princess for giving you food." There was indeed an incident last night, and the lower official was about to wait for the prince to return to his house and report to him in person. ”

"My brother is small, but he has big rules, and he won't sit and talk in front of me, so you don't have to worry about him, just sit down and have some snacks." Xiao E was careful, and immediately explained to Zhang Heng with a smile.

"Because I went to Wanshanni Temple this morning to make incense, although I didn't meet with the heart master, I encountered a strange thing, and I was thinking about looking for you to talk about it, maybe it will be useful to you." After Zhang Heng sat down at the next head as ordered, Xiao E calmly said to him, "According to the custom, Master Xin Yan accompanied me to the temple hall to enter the incense, so I invited me to the abbot to drink tea and sit down, at that time, I clearly heard the sound of chanting Buddha in the Ming Jing Hall not far from the abbot, and until I said goodbye to Master Yan and left the temple, the sound of chanting Buddha did not stop. ”

Seeing that the expression on Zhang Heng's face became focused, Xiao E continued: "What makes me feel most strange is that in the Ming Sutra Hall, some people are reciting the Buddhist scripture 'Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra' over and over again. Because I heard the sentence at the beginning of this sutra, "Guan Zizai Bodhisattva, when he walks deep in Prajnaparata, he sees that the five aggregates are empty", and I thought that the pseudonym of the big leader of Nanchen Xizuo, who you are now investigating, is called Guan Zizai, and I wondered if there would be anything strange in it, so I asked you to talk about it for your consideration. ”

Before Xiao E's words fell, he saw Zhang Heng standing up, arching his hand to her and saying: "It's urgent, forgive the official for not being able to accompany the princess here, and ask the princess to send someone into the palace to report to the prince immediately, just say that he is ready to tear his face with Mei Er, and ask the prince to go to Wanshanni Temple to deal with it immediately." With that, without waiting for Xiao Er to nod his head in agreement, he turned around and walked out of the main hall quickly.
