Princess Xuanping nodded, a little embarrassed.

The two walked out of the Tongzhi Pavilion and were about to board the carriage when Yan Saburo suddenly glanced back.

He Xiaoyuan asked him, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. It's just that there are relatives in my heart, as if there will be trouble, "Tongzhi Pavilion here, can there be strict guards?"

"The palace is heavily guarded. He Xiaoyuan said in a low voice, "The king has ordered several times that the princess is not allowed to go out, and all her needs are brought in by a special person. It's not easy to get in the door, you can see it. ”

Even if the lady of the Protector's Mansion comes to the door, she will have to go through three inspections and five trials before she can enter the mansion.

King Wei easily did not leave the palace, and if King Huai's father and son wanted to make it bad, the most likely thing was to attack Princess Xuanping, which Xiao Mi also figured out. Therefore, he did not dare to be careless, and arranged heavy guards in Tongzhi Pavilion.

If the marriage is yellow, both countries will lose face.

Yan Saburo glanced twice at the gate: "There are too many people in this mansion. "There are guards and palace maids, officials, and craftsmen who have been sent to decorate the Tongzhi Pavilion, adding up to two or three hundred people. "It's easy to be taken advantage of. ”

"Tomorrow, the craftsmen will leave. He Xiaoyuan also knew the crux of the problem, but the façade of Tongzhi Pavilion always had to send someone in to take care of it, "There are only about 100 people left here." Besides, Princess Xuanping's uncle Fan Hao has also arrived, and he will stay tonight. ”

"Fan Hao?" Yan Saburo was a little familiar with this name, "The victorious general of the country?"

If he remembered correctly, Fan Hao was Han Zhao's opponent. When Han Zhaodong was invincible, only Fan Hao could stop him.

This man himself is quite a powerful alien.

"Yes, he was ordered by the king to come to witness the marriage. Princess Xuanping is married, how can her mother's family not be present?" He Xiaoyuan rubbed his eyebrows, "Fan Hao arrived in Shengyi in the morning, entered the palace in the afternoon, and now Han Zhao is accompanying him." A few years ago, these two were still battlefield opponents, fighting to the death, and they couldn't imagine that they would sit together happily now. She thought that picture was too beautiful when she thought about it, and Han Zhao probably didn't feel much comfortable.

Yan Saburo also smiled slightly: "State affairs are like this. ”

Is there any eternal enemy between nations?

The carriage had already started, and he lifted the curtain and glanced in the direction of Tongzhi Pavilion. Fan Hao is the maternal uncle of Princess Xuanping, and it is said that he also spoils her in the palm of his hand, thinking that he will be more careful about the safety of the princess after he stays.

But for some reason, Yan Saburo is still worried in his heart, and he doesn't know where the disaster started.

It wasn't until the carriage in which the two of them turned a corner and disappeared on the corner of the street that a person walked out of the alley to the west of Tongzhi Pavilion, glanced in the direction where the carriage disappeared, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This person is Liao Qingsong. But he had a beard under his chin, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and he looked like a man in his forties, and even his eyebrows became thick and short.

At first glance, I'm afraid it's hard for old acquaintances to recognize that this is Liao Qingsong.

There are guards inside and outside the Tongzhi Pavilion, and there are also three or five steps and one sentry under the wall, and there are secret guards sitting at the opposite side of the wall. Liao Qingsong didn't get closer, bought a few buns, two roast chickens and two catties of liquor at the street entrance, and left in a hurry.

And in the backyard of Tongzhi Pavilion, Princess Xuanping is tending to her pet.

The maid said happily: "Mrs. He's elixir is really useful. "Snowball is fine, and so are they.

After the sable was smeared, the swelling disappeared within half an hour. It regained its spirits, and Princess Xuanping pinched its big tail, and it jumped up to the princess's shoulder and kissed her cheek gently.

"You're the best, the most beautiful. Princess Xuanping praised it with a smile, and suddenly there was a faint fragrance from the end of her nose. She sniffed it, it was from the mink, and she couldn't tell what kind of wildflower it was, "Where did you go, it's so fragrant?"

She grabbed the mink and looked at it, and saw that the tip of its fluffy tail was stained with a little pollen. Just in the spring, the garden is full of fragrant flowers, and the mink drills in and out of the flowers, and it is inevitable to get the fragrance of flowers.

She summoned her maid and took the mink down to clean up.

Han Zhao finally sent someone to bring a message to Yan Saburo:

No useful news about Liao Qingsong was found near Sanmenli, but the land security here gave Han Zhao's subordinates a piece of information:

Eight days ago, someone in Sanmen died violently.

The head of the household, surnamed Zhou, stayed in the study that night, and his family found out the next morning that he had passed away at the age of forty.

When the news spread, the surrounding neighbors were stunned. Zhou Dahu is healthy and energetic, and he doesn't look like a person with premature aging and short life. But after checking it, Zhou Dahu did not have any scars on his body, but he had a painful expression on his face, and finally judged that his heart was blocked and his chest was paralyzed.

In simple terms, a heart attack and hanging.

The Zhou family was naturally not convinced by this conclusion, but they couldn't see anything abnormal, so they had to take care of the aftermath.

If there is no trace of murder, there is no bitter master, and the agency has never filed a case, but it is talked about in the streets and alleys of Sanmenli.

Originally, Zhou Dahu was gone, and it was not without precedent for the unlucky man who died in the prime of life. But the Zhou family had a series of incidents immediately afterward, all of which were bad and bad.

It has only been eight days since Zhou Dahu's death, and the Zhou family, which has a big family, has been shaken and almost collapsed.

How does this not make people with good deeds elated and talked about?

It was also because of this that the land security in Sanmen reported the incident, and finally passed it to Yan Saburo.

"Eight days ago?" Yan Saburo first noticed the time of the incident, "Liao Qingsong arrived in Sanmenli ten days ago, and Zhou Dahu died eight days ago. From the point of view of time, it can be connected in order. ”

Time and place, both seem to be related. Chitose became interested at once: "Let's go, go to Sanmenri." By the way, buy some garlic sticks and come back. ”

Shengyi's local garlic branches, especially the most authentic and famous old shops in Sanmenli. Chitose eats it once and never forgets it.

The so-called "garlic branches" are similar in appearance to twist flowers, but the surface is covered with a layer of frosting, and there is the aroma of minced garlic.

Yan Saburo has nothing to do.

From the Invitation Garden to Sanmenli, it takes an hour to drive.

Han Zhao directly sent the land protector to pick him up, and Yan Saburo walked to Zhou's house under the guidance of the head snake, only to know why Zhou Dahu's death caused a lot of discussion.

They walked along the outer wall of Zhou's house in the direction of the gate, but they walked for two quarters of an hour to reach the place. Along the way, you can see finely built gray walls and black tiles, and the façade is extremely beautiful. Sitting in the carriage, Yan Saburo could see the buildings in the wall stretching, the wood carvings and birds under the eaves on the second and third floors were exquisite, the cloister was wide, and everywhere was remarkably atmospheric.

This is a big mansion with eight entrances, even if the area is not as large as the invitation garden, it is quite generous. The green trees and rockeries are also high outside the house, attracting envious eyes.
