Chapter 319 The Outsider
Ink Garden, study room.

Qing Yu hurried in, bowed and said back: "Master, Xiao Yun still hasn't contacted us."

"Our people did see him enter the imperial study room. But after he came out, he avoided our eyeliner. His skill was too fast, and our people lost it. I don't know where he went behind?"

Hearing this, Mo Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth: "It seems that Xiao Yun really intends to save his brother, but I'm afraid he wants to avoid us and save it by himself."

Qingyu was startled: "Go and save yourself! Master, what shall we do next?"

Mo Yi said: "Xiao Yun's intention to avoid us at this time can only show that he already has an idea. It's okay, the most important thing is to find someone at this time. When he finds someone, he will definitely contact us."

Qingyu said: "Master, we released Xiao Yun in order to save people. But after saving people, will he turn around and run to the north?"

"Even Ye Qing's temptation can't stop him. If he really wants to run away, we won't be able to catch him."

Mo Yi's eyes darkened, and his voice turned cold: "If you want to run, let him run, don't catch him!"

As he said that, he took out a letter from his body: "If Xiao Yun ran away, send this letter to Yangzhou to Ye Qing."

Qingyu was startled: "Master, you want Ye Qing to go to the northern border."

Mo Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Xiao Yun didn't dare to let us intervene because he was worried that we would find the trace and that we would be disadvantageous to Emperor Mingxi. He put so much effort into it, how could he stay in the imperial capital when he finds his brother!"

"I'm going to the northern border soon, and I don't have time to pay attention to Ye Qing at this time. You can't catch Ye Qing alone. But if you keep Ye Qing here, it's even more unsafe, and maybe you will give it to the fourth brother." , The tenth brother added to the chaos. Now the emperor can't be in chaos."

"If Xiao Yun wants to go to the northern border, then let's go to the northern border together to resolve these grievances."

Qingyu replied: "Yes, master."

Mo Yi continued: "Qingyu, I will send the old lady to Hanjian Villa tonight. You stay in the imperial capital, and as soon as you find someone, send them to Hanjian Villa immediately. Remember, disguise them, don't To expose the whereabouts."

Qingyu bowed and replied: "Yes, master."

Zuixianju, Meixiang Pavilion.

Jiang Mu hurried in, bowed and said back: "My lord, the matter of Eunuch Cao has been found out, and he is dead."

Hearing this, Prince Gong Murong An's eyes darkened, and his voice turned cold: "Dead!"

"That's right." Jiang Mu nodded and said, "Half a year after Zongyuan's ten-year New Year's banquet, he accidentally fell into the water and died."

"Accident!" Prince Gong's eyes darkened, his voice turned cold: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Jiang Mu continued: "My lord is right. My lord, we found his hometown. He was alone since he was a child, and there was no one in his hometown. So he died, and no one knew. They thought he was still in the palace. .”

"My lord, look at these, we found a secret room in his house, and found these inside."

Prince Gong looked at the pile of land deeds and bank notes in his hand: "So many!"

Jiang Mu said: "My lord, there are quite a lot of these properties. Even if he has someone to fawn on in Shangshi Bureau, he can't buy so many properties."

Prince Gong nodded and said: "That's right, it seems that the person behind the scenes gave him these."

Jiang Mu said: "My lord, could the person who gave him these things be the Emperor Mingxi back then? Maybe he was a member of Emperor Mingxi, and he secretly helped Emperor Mingxi murder the queen mother."

Prince Gong stared at those things, pondering, but shook his head after a while: "No, Jiang Mu, I always feel that something is wrong."

Jiang Mu asked suspiciously, "My lord, what do you mean?"

Prince Gong also had doubts in his eyes, and said, "Emperor Ming Xi only showed his desire to seize the heir apparent in the 14th year of Zongyuan. Before that, he hid it very deeply."

"He pretended that Eunuch Cao fell into the water by accident, just to deceive others."

"Then why didn't he take back so many things? You can all find his hometown. If Eunuch Cao belonged to him, why didn't he go look for it and see if he left anything behind?"

Jiang Mu was taken aback: "Yes, it's true that the prince said so. But if Emperor Mingxi didn't give these things to him, who would it be?"

Prince Gong's eyes darkened: "Jiang Mu, maybe the person behind Eunuch Cao's scenes and the person who killed him are not the same person!"

Jiang Mu was startled: "My lord, what shall we do next?"

Prince Gong looked at the pile of things in front of him, thinking for a long time, suddenly, several bank notes came into his eyes, he hurriedly picked up those bank notes and looked through them.

Jiang Mu asked suspiciously: "My lord, what's the matter?"

Prince Gong handed over the banknotes and said, "Jiang Mu, look at these banknotes."

Jiang Mu hurriedly took the banknotes and took a closer look. He was surprised for a moment: "My lord, the numbers of these banknotes are actually connected."

Prince Gong nodded and said: "That's right, the banknotes taken out from the bank may not necessarily have consecutive numbers! But this kind of banknotes with linked numbers must definitely be taken out from the bank."

"That's right." Jiang Mu said hastily: "It seems that after these banknotes were taken out from the bank, they were in the hands of Eunuch Cao, but he has never used these banknotes."

Prince Gong said: "Jiang Mu, hurry up and send these banknotes to Eleven and ask him to check these banknotes."

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will go right away." Jiang Mu hurriedly took orders.

Royal Palace Pigeon House.

Xiao Yun followed a row of pigeon cages to check.

The pigeon breeder who had just walked in saw it, hurried forward, bowed and saluted: "Sir, do you need pigeons?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Does the Pigeon Institute still have adult pigeons?"

"Yes, yes." The pigeon breeder nodded in response: "My lord, come with the little one."

After a while, Xiao Yun was taken to another room, and the pigeon breeder introduced: "My lord, this row is full of pigeons that can be trained to send messages. My lord, which one do you want?"

Xiao Yun asked: "Has anyone from the Dark Guard come to collect pigeons recently?"

"Yes." The pigeon breeder asked suspiciously: "My lord, why are you asking this?"

Xiao Yun said: "Go and get the register, I'll take a look."

"The register!" The pigeon breeder was startled, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, this register is the top-secret information of the Pigeon Institute. Without the permission of the commander of the imperial forest army or the commander of the dark guard, it is not allowed to be shown to others without permission."

I saw Xiao Yun took out a token from his body and waved it in front of the pigeon breeder: "Can I see it?"

The pigeon breeder looked at the token, and was instantly shocked, Zijin token!This is the highest token of the Dark Guard!But it is higher than the token of the leader of the dark guard!

My God, I've been raising pigeons here for so many years, but I've never seen this token!This token was only mentioned in trainings of yesteryear!

"Yes! Yes!" The pigeon breeder nodded desperately: "My lord, come with the little one, and the little one will be brought to you right away."

In the office, the pigeon breeder took out the register: "My lord, this is the register, take a look."

"En." Xiao Yun took the register, and continued: "Mr., the reason why I came to see this is because I have important matters to do. This matter must not be leaked, even if the leader of the dark guards came here, it must not be leaked. "

"If something goes wrong and the emperor blames me, I can't save your life. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, the pigeon breeder was shocked, it turned out that he had an important task!He nodded tremblingly and replied: "Yes, yes, I understand. I will keep my mouth shut. Don't worry, don't worry."

Xiao Yun nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well, then you can go to work first."

"Hey...Okay, okay, look first, call the younger one if you need to." The pigeon breeder hurriedly turned around and backed away.

When the pigeon breeder left, Xiao Yun hurriedly flipped through the register with anxiety in his eyes!If it is a new hiding place, it is necessary to train new pigeons to recognize the way.This pigeon must be raised in that place for a period of time before being taken to the north by the black eagle.

Soon, Xiao Yun turned his hand over the registration book, stopped instantly, his pupils shrank, and a record from three months ago came into view. That's right, the person who led the pigeon was a secret guard who went to Linzhou !
three months ago!It was the time when the emperor summoned all the hidden guards into the palace!
Your Majesty, it was not because I had been missing for so long that you felt uneasy that you arrested your younger brother's family!
It turns out that from the time you knew that I kept Hao'er's affairs away, you already wanted to arrest someone!Arranged early on from then on!

Looking at the days on the register, Xiao Yun's eyes froze. There is special grain for feeding pigeons in the palace, and each base will receive rations for pigeons once a month.Even if the pigeon followed Black Hawk to the northern border, the people in the stronghold still had to get grain and prepare it.

That's right, as long as I spend a few days before and after picking up the pigeons, I will be able to follow where the dark guards go!The day of receiving rations this month is just a few days away!
A sting flashed in Xiao Yun's eyes, and he clenched his hands instantly, Your Majesty, my younger brother's family are all outsiders, I can't let you take them as hostages!

But I can only save this person myself, I must not let Mo Yi and Xiao Jinxi intervene, and I must not let them find the trace of the emperor!
After a while, Xiao Yun put the register back to its original place, turned and left.
