"Palace?"

The old man and Mingqing were both surprised.

"These two princes and the leader of the Left Sect are both guests of the court. How could they kill him?"

This obviously puzzled the two of them.

Xiao He said, "I don't know this, but we should get the map first if we are urgent!"

It is actually not difficult to get a map. The map was delivered in the afternoon. Xiao and the three of them stood around the map. On this simple map, everyone could easily see the situation in front of them.

Looking in from the family they found above, the one closest to the East Factory Factory Guard!

"East Factory?"

The three of them couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when they saw the location marked on it. But in a blink of an eye, in the capital, in addition to the Jinyiwei, only the Dongchang could send everyone quietly, but they left quietly, and the person searching might be Dongchang itself!

But they absolutely never expected that another group of people who assassinated the Second Prince and the National Master were most likely to protect them!

"But why did Dongchang do this?"

Mingqing said in a little puzzled.

Xiao He thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing more than a power struggle!"

Mingqing had never contacted the court and said in confusion: "A power struggle?"

Xiao He said: "According to my guess, the Jinyiwei should be protected by the two, and the second prince and the national teacher are important figures in Tubo! Dongchang will assassinate them. Once the assassination is successful, even if some injuries are caused, the Jinyiwei protected by the poor will be to blame."

Mingqing said in surprise: "Does this power struggle ignore anything else?"

Although the purpose of Dongchang was the same as that of himself and others, he still didn't understand Dongchang's almost crazy behavior. In order to achieve his goal, he sacrificed everything, even including assassinating people protected by the imperial court!

Xiao He said: "This is the battle between the court, that is, the two major powers of the court, Dongchang and the Jinyiwei! The darkness of the court, the power struggle is not inferior to the martial arts world at all! And it is even darker than the enemy killings in the martial arts world, which can be described as walking on thin ice. If you are a little careless or if you are caught, the price will not only be a prison disaster, but may even involve the whole family!"

Mingqing was startled and said, "In this way, the danger of the court is as good as the world!"

The old man said: "That's true. Xiaohe was originally a family of officials, but unfortunately he was harmed by a traitor. Otherwise, with his talent, he would have at least held an important position in the court!"

Mingqing looked at Xiao He in surprise and said, "Brother Xiao actually came from a family of officials. Does he know so much knowledge? He is not like us, who is ignorant of the word "Dou" and "Dou"!"

Xiao He waved his hand and said, "The old things in the past don't need to be mentioned anymore. Everything in front of him is still speculation. Whether this group of people is Dongchang, and whether there is a secret passage leading to the palace in that room. All of this has not been confirmed, so it is too early to confirm that it is Dongchang. We have to investigate this matter carefully!"

Mingqing said: "Okay, I'll be watching here! Report it immediately if there is any news!"

Xiao He nodded and said, "Any time you have news, please report it immediately. Remember not to be reckless. Do you understand? Dongchang and Jinyiwei are both recruiting masters from Luo Jianghu. These masters are likely to be in charge of Dongchang Factory Guards, and Jinyiwei. Many of them are monster-level, which is definitely not something you can deal with!"

Mingqing said in surprise: "Dongchang and Jinyiwei?"

In Mingqing's eyes, it is true that Dongchang and Jinyiwei are both organizations of the imperial court, but he did not think how powerful the people inside were. The people sent were just ordinary mediocre men.

Xiao He said: "The water in the East Factory and the Jinyiwei is very deep, which is not something that ordinary people can imagine. A few years ago, the Jinyiwei sent someone to capture the Blood Eagle King, and a lot of people were lost at that time. There were rumors in the martial arts world that even with the help of Xiaoyaozi, they successfully arrested people. In fact, the masters of the Jinyiwei did not take any action completely. If they were dispatched, they might not be worse than the Eagle King's martial arts! Not to mention anything else, at least they can get a draw. The same is true for the Dongchang. They have worked hard for so many years, but they are not all mediocre players in the world. Otherwise, wouldn't this place where people in the palace come and go when they want to go? You might as well think about it. In the world, even those people who are not afraid of heaven and earth, how many people dare to break into the palace in the black and white paths? It is said that the palace is very cautious, and besides ordinary soldiers, there are countless masters!"

The palace is the most important place in the country. The current emperor lives here. In addition to the Imperial Guards, there are also Jinyiwei and Dongchang. For those martial arts masters who come and go without a trace, the Gundam city wall may not prevent them from entering the palace, and the only one who can stop them is only masters.

Ming nodded lightly and said, "I understand, I will leave!"

After he hurriedly left, the old man and Xiao He looked at the map in front of him again.

…………

During the day, Zhao Yuan and Cang Wushuang left the Foreign Affairs Hall and met Ma Yu when they were going back. After seeing them, Ma Yu said, "Yesterday, my nephew asked me to bring you a message saying that Mr. Lin wants to see you!"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Well, I'll go find her later!"

Ma Yu leaned over and lowered his voice and said, "If you can solve this case, then you will give our Jinyiwei a face!"

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "I try my best!"

Ma Yu patted Zhao Yuan on the shoulder and walked in with the others. After using breakfast outside, Zhao Yuan and Cang Wushuang went straight to the escort agency's steward. After walking to the door and reporting, he was allowed to go in.

Inside the house, the two found Lin Qian. After seeing them coming, Lin Qian said, "Please follow me, please!"

Zhao Yuan and Cang Wushuang didn't ask where they were going, but followed her to the backyard. A table had been set up under a tree in the backyard, with some refreshments on it.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Lin Qian looked a little haggard on her face, and she smiled reluctantly, saying, "Thank you two for coming, I didn't expect you to come back!"

The reason why Lin Qian said this is that they are Jinyiwei after all, and they didn’t come by just inviting others to come.

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "It's rare that President Lin's escort leader has figured it out. We will naturally come, and we are also very interested in theft! Then President Lin's escort leader is better off talking about it!"

Lin Qian nodded and said, "Two months ago, we sent a batch of goods to Jingdezhen. When we were about to come back, we received a commission to escort a batch of colorful instruments back to the capital! We didn't care at that time. After all, these colorful instruments are considered high-quality among porcelains and are expensive. It is not strange to ask our escort agency to escort them. There was no strange thing when the colorful instruments were delivered, and they were also packed in very ordinary boxes."

"In a very ordinary box?"

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but frowned, why is there gold inside the interlayer of the box?

Lin Qian seemed to have noticed Zhao Yuan's doubts, and then said, "Just when we were about to set off, someone found us again. What should we do to escort a batch of gold back to the capital? The amount of this batch of gold is 3,000 taels! The fee is also very generous! However, if you transport these 3,000 taels of gold, you will be very noticeable and will also be remembered. How to transport 3,000 taels of gold to the capital safely becomes the primary issue! After we discussed, we decided to modify the box, set up a mezzanine, melt the gold, and pour it into the mezzanine, so that several boxes are compared with the original one.

The ones that came were only a few dozen kilograms. If you don’t know what was contained in the box, it would be difficult to detect at all. For those robbers in the world, they like more things like gold, silver, jewelry, etc. than porcelain. After all, porcelain is not like gold, silver, and once taken out to sell stolen goods, it is easy to track down the source, especially things like colorful instruments with very rare production! Moreover, in order to make the weight less noticeable, we prepared a carriage in one box, so that we could not detect what was contained in the box from the axle marks!”

Zhao Yuan nodded in his heart, and had to say that this method is very effective, so he nodded and said, "Then how many people know about this?"

Lin Qian said: "In addition, I have four people in total. We melted these gold ourselves, and the boxes were transformed by ourselves. The other bodyguards who accompanied us didn't know at all!"

As he said that, he took out a list and said, "One of them has died in the last attack, and there are two others in addition to me!"

Zhao Yuan looked at the list, took it, and said, "I will have someone investigate this matter thoroughly!"

With Zhao Yuan and Cang Wushuang's eyes, they didn't realize that there was a mezzanine inside the box at first. In fact, those corpses found it strange, and then asked the assassins who took the lead and learned that if others were very clear about the secrets of the box, there would be only a few others.

After taking the list, Zhao Yuan asked again: "In addition, do you have drawings of the colorful instruments in the box and other things?"

Lin Qian said: "Yes, please wait for two!"

After saying that, he entered the room. After a while, he walked out with a picture album and placed the things on the table, saying, "These boxes of colorful utensils have a total of 105 pieces, but in terms of style, there are only more than 20 styles. In order to facilitate the delivery of goods, the employer gave us a picture album at that time. There are various porcelain quantities on the picture album. In addition, there is time under the porcelain, etc., which are also included on it!!"

Zhao Yuan took the album and looked at the album carefully. The person who made the album was still very careful. When painting, he actually used colors instead of just outlining the lines! The reason why more than 100 pieces is only more than 20 is that many porcelains are bought in pairs, two for one pair, and four for two pairs.

In addition to putting away the album, Duan Canghai asked again: "So what is that recipe?"

Lin Qian said: "The formula is not within the scope of this escort. In fact, I know that the formula is only me and the person entrusted. The formula is called Baiyu Intermittent Paste. I have seen it. It should be mainly used to treat bruises and injuries. The person entrusted me is also the employer who escorts porcelain. He said that a friend in Beijing needs to open a store and needs this formula to get medicine, so I just brought it back. Seeing that this was just a slight effort, I agreed!"

Zhao Yuan said: "White Jade Intermittent Paste, well, I don't know if Lin Biaotou wrote down this recipe, so I can also check the history!"

Lin Qian asked in confusion: "Is there something wrong with this recipe?"

Zhao Yuan said: "I came a few days ago and found that the person who broke your sect should not be a mediocre person. If someone leaked that there was gold in the interlayer of the box, then the other party should come directly for the gold. But the master came straight to the head of the general escort. Maybe the robbery of gold and the five-colored instrument was just to cover up the eyes and ears. His real purpose was your formula. The Jinyiwei was well-informed, and perhaps he could find out the real source of this formula. Only by finding out the source of the formula can you know the other party's purpose. Then if someone in the world uses this medicine, it may be the murderer!"

The leaders of the current leader actually mentioned the recipe in the evening that day, which means that the recipe is absolutely extraordinary. In addition, if only Lin Qian and the employer who transported the colorful appliances know about this matter, then others will know it now, which means that the news has been leaked from the source.

Lin Qian hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay!"

One of the big reasons why she was willing to tell the truth today was that she sent someone to the designated location to find the recipe. That is, when she was a friend of the shopkeeper of the colorful instrument, she found that there was no such pharmacy at all. This made her panic and realized that things were definitely not simple.

The recipe was lost and no one came to ask for it. Even if you wanted it, you would write it out for him. However, the box and the gold in the box were of great value, and even if the escort agency tried its best, it would be impossible to make up for it!

The most desperate thing is that this matter has begun. The person who received the goods from the five-color instrument and the person who received the goods from the gold instrument have come to the door. Even if she can persuade her, the other party will only give a ten-day deadline. If the ten-day deadline is up, she will not find the five-color instrument and gold, and they will report to the official. At that time, the foundation that the escort agency has accumulated with great effort will be completely destroyed.

Now Lin Qian is like a drowning person, with nothing to catch around her, she can only struggle alone in the ocean, and then watch it sink.

At this moment, she thought of Zhao Yuan and Cang Wushuang. She had come to ask questions with Ma Yu, and she had also come to find her own people alone in the evening. She was already desperate and could only place all her hopes on them. Therefore, she dared not hide anything at all and honestly told everything she knew.
