Chapter 589 Then try it

Although Xiao Jin tried his best not to show his emotions, Su Ying still found something wrong with him.

Until he lay down on the bed after washing at night, Xiao Jin didn't say anything.

Su Ying rubbed against him, Xiao Jin felt that her movement was just subconsciously turning sideways to make way for her to lean into his arms better.

Su Ying leaned close to him, but didn't hear any movement from him. She could only turn around to face him. Even in the dark, she caught his unpredictable eyes at the first time.

"Is something wrong?"

Xiao Jin came back to his senses, held her hand and said softly: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about some things in the court."

Chaozhong will be fine one day, except for the accident in Kuncheng until now, she has never seen anything that can bother him so much.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to tell me?"

Su Ying put his hand lightly on his chest, under his palm was his powerful heartbeat.

Xiao Jin frowned, "Su Yulun had an accident. Today there was news that when he went to inspect the gold mine, the mine suddenly collapsed and he was buried inside."

"Su Yulun will go down to the mine to inspect?"

Xiao Jin hugged her tightly, anyone who knew Su Yulun knew that he would never do that.

"Someone wanted his life."

Su Ying pursed her lips, Su Yulun is the prime minister, killing him is a very, very dangerous act, unless the other party is going to do something more dangerous than killing Su Yulun, discovering a gold mine without reporting it and mining it privately is a capital crime of losing his head , so the other party just killed Su Yulun without doing anything?

Su Ying can't figure it out, the most important thing now is to send people over there to find out what's going on.

"Have you sent someone?"

"Well, let Zhao Neng go with five thousand elite soldiers."

Su Ying nodded, "Don't be in a hurry, I will ask the Red Devils to investigate tomorrow to see if I can find some unknown clues."

Many of the killers of the Red Devils are in the ranks of the three religions, and sometimes they know more than the royal spies, and some things are easier for them to find out.

"good."

The next day, after breakfast, Su Ying went to the back garden to pass a letter to Motu Feiying, asking him to send someone to investigate the affairs of Qingyang County.

Coincidentally, when the gold mine in Qingyang County was first discovered, the Red Devils noticed it. They may have realized that things were not that simple, so they had been secretly observing the progress of this matter to see if they could make money from it. Some benefits.

When Motu sent a letter to ask the person in charge over there to investigate, news soon came.

Su Ying looked at the news from Motu, which detailed the situation of the gold mine at that time.

After the gold mine was discovered, Ma Zhi immediately had evil thoughts, but he didn't do it immediately, but waited for a few days. Motu guessed that he should have sent a letter to the people behind him during the few days of waiting. , he must obey the other party's instructions.

A few days later, Ma Zhi began to be dug.

Before Su Yunlun arrived in Qingyang County, Ma Zhi asked people to speed up mining. After Su Yulun arrived, he didn't know what method he used to bring Su Yulun under the gold mine and buried him directly.

Now Motu asked the Red Devils to track down where the dug out gold mines went.

What's more, after Su Yulun was buried, Ma Zhi also ran away, and the people sent by the imperial court to Kuncheng are now doing their best to track down Ma Zhi's whereabouts.

After Xiao Jin came back, Su Ying showed him the news.

After Xiao Jin read the news, he immediately asked Zhang Shuming to take out the map.

Kuncheng is very close to the southwestern border of Chu State. It is easy for Ma Zhi to escape from the border, but outside the border, at least within a few hundred miles are deserted, at least there is no record of the five hundred miles outside the border. any country within.

The possibility of Ma Zhi escaping from the country is very small. If he goes out from this place, even if he has gold, he has no place to spend his silver, and he may die outside.

If he does not leave the country, he can only go north-south to Jinling City.

Xiao Jin tapped on the map with his slender fingertips.

Su Ying glanced at the sphere of influence of Jinling City and said: "This is a big city, does he dare to escape here?"

Xiao Jin said: "This is the fiefdom of King Jiangning, and it is now guarded by his second son Xiao Shijie."

"Fief..."

Since it is a fiefdom, some things are not controlled by the imperial court.

Ma Zhizhen is going to escape to Jinling City, and it will be more difficult for the court to arrest people than other places.

"If he escapes to Jinling City... and joins Xiao Shijie, do you think Xiao Shijie dares to accept him?"

Xiao Jin's eyes were dim, but Su Ying had a bolder idea, "Is there a possibility that he didn't escape there, but... went back?"

Xiao Jin's pupils shrank sharply, and the air pressure around him dropped.

Su Ying felt that this was not possible.

"Try?" Su Ying raised her eyebrows.

Xiao Jinen said, "Try."

…

It snowed heavily again at night, and the sky was not completely bright at the time of the hour.

King Jiang Ning waited outside the gate of the palace, stamping his feet in the cold, his cheeks turned red from the cold, but compared with the anxiety in his heart, this severe cold was nothing.

Early this morning, the emperor sent someone to his mansion to send a message to let him enter the palace. He has no official position, so the emperor must not want to see him for no reason.

King Jiang Ning went through all the things he had done recently, just wanting to know if he had done anything wrong.

After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what he should have done and what he shouldn't have done. It wasn't until Zhang Shuming's voice sounded that he came back to his senses.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty invites you in."

Jiang Ning Wang walked into the hall with nervous steps and shrinking his neck.

"See the emperor."

"Uncle, get up."

King Jiang Ning stood up and took a quick look at Xiao Jin. He felt that the emperor seemed to be in a good mood and looked a little talkative, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, for fear that he would be slapped in the face soon.

"Sit down, Uncle Huang. Letting Uncle Huang enter the palace today is because I think that I have not been able to have a good meal with Uncle Huang since I returned to Beijing. I just take advantage of today's free time to let Uncle Huang enter the palace to have a good chat and gossip."

King Jiang Ning took a quick glance at Xiao Jin, and he didn't feel that he and this cold-faced nephew had anything to gossip about!

"Yes, yes, I have a lot to say to the emperor, hehehehe..."

"Oh? What does the emperor want to say to me?"

Jiang Ning Wang choked, he just said a few polite words, how could the emperor not understand even the polite words!

Fortunately, Xiao Jin didn't ask any further questions, otherwise King Jiang Ning would really feel that what he came to eat was a meal of decapitation.

The maid came in with food. Adhering to the principle of thrift, the maid brought three dishes and one soup.

"Usually, I would eat two dishes. Today, when the emperor entered the palace, I specially ordered the imperial dining room to prepare some more for the emperor. The emperor tasted these dishes to see if they suit his appetite."

Jiang Ning Wang obediently took a bite with his chopsticks, swallowed it without chewing, and nodded desperately: "It's delicious, it's really delicious."

"Speaking of which, I don't seem to have seen Shijie, and I don't know how he is doing in Jinling City. I figured that next month will be the birthday of the emperor's uncle. Now the emperor's uncle is his only son. Why don't we let him go to Beijing?" Shall I celebrate Uncle Huang's birthday?"
