Youzhou Governor's Mansion.

Di Chun came over and said, "Master, we've heard from you over there."

Judge Dee said: "Bring it here quickly."

Di Chun handed over the letter.

Judge Dee read the letter and said, "That's it."

……

Huzhou.

Tianranju Inn.

Su Qing, the leader of the bad guys, came over and said, "I've seen him before."

Zhang Yang said: "Get up"

Su Qing said: "Someone was checking the young master's information in the capital, but we found out that he sent false information back."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "It's not yet time for my true identity to be exposed. You guys have done a good job."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master."

"How is Song Huairen doing?"

Su Qing said: "They have already started investigation and the results are expected in January."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "This is best."

……

At the same time, Hu Jinghui led a team of Qianniu Guards to patrol the garden. Suddenly there was a scream from behind, Hu Jinghui turned around and asked: "What's wrong?" A guard pointed at the flowers and shouted: "General, snake, snake!" Hu Jinghui jumped over in one stride, and in the flower garden A viper coiled up into a ball, with its head held high and a pair of triangular eyes emitting bursts of light.

Hu Jinghui whispered: "Everyone, please don't move!" He slowly pulled out the steel knife from his waist, and with a hiss, the viper leaped into the air and rushed towards Hu Jinghui. Hu Jinghui turned to the side He took a step away, let out a loud shout, and swung the steel (this must be a knife), cutting the viper into two pieces, and his body fell to the ground, twisting continuously. Hu Jinghui picked up the broken snake and hurriedly reported to Judge Dee.

Judge Dee was startled and raised his head: "What's wrong, Jinghui?"

Hu Jinghui raised the two dead snakes in his hand and said, "Found it!"

Judge Dee stood up: "Where did you find it?"

Hu Jinghui said: "In the flowerbed in the garden. This guy is really powerful. He jumped out of the flowerbed and bit Beizi's throat, and was cut in two by Beizi." As he said that, he put the snake on the desk.

Judge Dee watched carefully. Suddenly, a picture flashed in his mind——

Late at night, in the thatched house in Daliu Shu Village. A flash of lightning lit up in front of the window, followed by a crack of thunder. Judge Dee suddenly sat up from the kang, breathing heavily. It took a long time before he slowly calmed down. He reached out and picked up the water jar from the Kang table. A flash of lightning flashed outside. At this moment, he found some fine dregs in the water bowl.

Judge Dee put down the jug, picked up the drinking bowl, and looked at it in the light of lightning outside the window. After a long time, he exhaled softly, put down the water bowl, put on his clothes and went to the ground. Suddenly there was a slight "rustling" sound from the opposite side. Judge Dee was startled and immediately stood still. With a "swish" sound, the viper quickly jumped out.

outhouse. Hu Jinghui was lying on the big kang and fell into a deep sleep. A flash of lightning lit up, and there was nothing next to him, and Li Yuanfang disappeared. There was another bolt of lightning, and a moment of light cast a figure on the wall. Judge Dee turned sharply. Li Yuanfang stood in front of the door. Judge Dee instinctively took a step back. Li Yuanfang asked: "Sir, are you looking for me?" Judge Di smiled: "Are you going out so late?" Li Yuanfang replied: "Please help me. Are you okay?"

Judge Dee's eyes lit up, he took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on his face.

Hu Jinghui said: "What's wrong, sir, did you remember something?"

Judge Dee glanced at him and said meaningfully: "It seems that my analysis is absolutely correct. This is not an ordinary poisonous snake!"

Hu Jinghui said: "My lord, what you mean is..."

Judge Dee said: "I have seen this snake before."

Hu Jinghui was stunned: "Have you seen it? Where have you seen it?"

Judge Di asked: "Do you still remember the night we stayed at Daliushu Village?"

Hu Jinghui nodded: "Yes, I remember." Judge Di said: "On that night, I saw this poisonous snake."

Hu Jinghui said "Oh?" Judge Dee reached into his arms and pulled out something, unfolding it gently. It was the lake silk handkerchief commonly used by vipers, with a small snake embroidered on the lower right corner.

Hu Jinghui was startled: "You mean..."

Judge Dee nodded and smiled mysteriously: "It seems that the viper is not far away from us."

……

In the dark night, a black shadow swept into the mountain gate of the ancient temple. In the main hall, Jin Mulan sat cross-legged under the green lamp. There was the sound of footsteps, and Viper walked in quickly.

Jin Mulan turned around and asked, "How was it?"

Viper asked: "How about what? Are you asking how I am, or how he is?"

Jin Mulan stood up and said with a smile: "A grown man can be so petty. How can you stand in front of me so well? Of course I am asking him."

Viper coughed lightly: "He is fine. Di Renjie is not suspicious." The "he" in their mouths refers to Fang Qian.

Jin Mulan let out a sigh of relief: "That's good. It seems that everything is going well."

Viper sighed softly: "Di Renjie may be doubting me."

Jin Mulan was shocked: "What?"

The viper said: "Last night, my venomous snake bit and killed a servant who was eavesdropping on our conversation outside the window. I was afraid that Di Renjie would become suspicious, so I put the snake in the flower garden tonight and deliberately let the guards see it, but unexpectedly, the surname Di’s words directly reminded me of me. This person’s mind is so terrible!”

Jin Mulan said nervously: "Did he have any indication?"

Viper shook his head: "That's not true."

Jin Mulan breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you so nervous?"

Viper said: "You don't understand him. This person never expresses his emotions or anger. When he expresses it, it means that your end has come!"

Jin Mulan was quite disapproving and snorted contemptuously: "I don't believe he is as awesome as you say!"

Viper sighed. Jin Mulan hesitated for a moment: "What should we do now?"

Viper said: "What else can we do? Of course we have to return to him."

Jin Mulan said: "Let's do this. The contact between you and Fang Qian will be temporarily interrupted, so as not to cause trouble and make Di Renjie suspicious of him."

Viper glanced at her: "You are still concerned about your own plans."

Jin Mulan hugged him: Of course I care about you.

…………

Zhang Yang looked at Su Qing and said, "Find a way to get me close to the prince."

"Master, we have someone beside the prince, but this person has a low status and cannot get close to the core secrets."

"Does the prince have any information?"

"The prince usually only discusses with the two princesses, and some people from the Wei family."

"It turns out that I rely on a powerful family." Zhang Yang said, "You continue talking."

Su Qing continued: "The prince is more scheming than decisive. Weishi arbitrarily placed his family members and cronies all over the East Palace. The prince is lustful and frivolous. The maids and dancers in the palace steal things from the palace and sell them out of the palace. It's very easy to steal information by mouth."

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "It seems that our Crown Prince's East Palace has become a sieve, subject to random inquiries."
