Chapter 137 The Prince
"It's the prince." Bush said these three words almost sullenly.

Knowing that this solitary building is the place where he usually meditates, and knowing that he doesn't like to be interrupted when he is meditating, the prince still comes.

Sure enough, the prince never took his uncle seriously.

Not once.

"Rude and savage Gurtai boy!"

Bush cursed in a low voice, his widely separated facial features gathered together in an instant, and the anger between his brows was almost hard to suppress.

At this time, Mu Wen looked a little dazed.

He turned his head slowly, his single eye, which was as clear as lake water, opened wide and then narrowed tightly again, as if he was trying his best to identify the person coming from afar.

For some reason, the weak and tired face in front of him, as well as the intent but powerless expression, calmed down the anger in Bush's heart.

There was a little bit of unbearable on his face, and when he spoke, his voice was much gentler than before.

"Father Muwen, are you still unable to see clearly?" He asked softly.

His adoptive father has a slight eye disease, and he can't see clearly when he is far away. This is also because only one eye can be used.

Mu Wen shook his head, gave up the intention of identifying the person, turned his head to look at his adopted son, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yeah, I have to stare at everything for a long time now. Sigh, I'm really old gone."

When he said this, there was no resentment or anger on his face, only a constant, as if empty calm.

"The boy will handle him well, you should go back and rest first." Bush's voice became more and more gentle, as if this calm and old face gave him comfort, and made his mood return to peace .

Mu Wen didn't speak, only sighed deeply, then stooped and walked towards the stairs.

Bush thoughtfully stepped forward to support him and sent him downstairs.

There is a back door in the solitary building, after you go out and turn around, you will find the most famous "maze" in Youshuai Mansion, where many guests got lost.

The residence that Bush arranged for Mu Wen was located in a certain corner of the maze, and it would be difficult to find it without a guide.

Watching the adoptive father's back disappear at the intersection, the warmth on Bush's face gradually faded. He stood alone for a while, flicked his sleeves, turned and walked outside the building.

"Did the fireball gun find out?" On the empty sandy ground, His Highness the Crown Prince strolled forward with his hands in his sleeves, pretending to watch the surrounding scenery while asking Wumeng in a low voice.

Three days ago, when Wu Meng hunted down Jiang Yang's robbers in the private prostitute street, although Wu Meng returned home without a feather, he did not get nothing. The treasure was just one of them, and the discarded flint gun was the biggest gain of this trip.

At that time, the gun had already been dismantled into pieces, and there was no way to put it back together.The person who dismantled the gun probably thought that no one would recognize this thing in Baishuang City, or maybe he thought it would be troublesome to keep it in his hands, so after dismantling it, he threw it out here and there. .

But these people apparently forgot that there is also a prince His Royal Highness in Baishuang City.

The bumpkins in Baishuang City don't know how to fire bullet guns, but the vision of His Royal Highness, is that ordinary people can compare?
Of course, the prince himself has no preference for these things, but he only saw them twice when he was in the imperial capital Changli, and the one who loves to collect these strange and obscene things is none other than the prince's sixth brother—— Your Highness the Sixth Prince.

In detail, the prince is actually not much older than the sixth prince. If counted by age, the prince is actually the sixth son, while the sixth prince should be the seventh.

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the blood of the Empress and Empress Fu Lun, who was born with difficulty in middle age after the death of two sons, so he was established as the Crown Prince not long after he was born. He didn't have a sequence of teeth with the princes, which also made the prince and the brothers not very close.

But even so, he knows what he needs to know, and as far as he knows, there is a group of private guards in the house of the Imperial Concubine Hezhe, and there is a team of ten personal guards, which are specially equipped to protect the sixth prince. Surprisingly expensive Western flintlock gun.

This is unique in the entire Dajin. Several boys from Hezhe's family have shown off more than once, so His Royal Highness recognized the fireball gun at a glance.

And until he recognized the fireball gun, His Royal Highness didn't think much about it, he just thought it was a coincidence.

One of his staff members felt something was wrong. After discussing and analyzing with several other advisers overnight, he came up with an unbelievable but in line with the current situation:
The sixth prince is probably in Baishuang City.

This is the conclusion drawn after combining the various abnormalities of the sixth prince before, and Mangtai's recent abnormalities, and reverse derivation. Among them, there are two most abnormalities:

First, Mang Tai lost his beloved daughter, but he never went to the city to arrest the murderer, but only issued a sea arrest document, and then returned to the new army camp.

Is there any person or thing in the military camp that is more important than the dead Huazhen?
"Your Highness can think of it this way, if His Highness the Sixth Highness is really in Baishuang City, where is the safest place for him to hide?"

Just the night before last, the aide had asked the prince a question like this, and gave the answer before the prince answered:
"New army camp."

Mangtai's behavior is really puzzling, but if the sixth prince is placed in it, his behavior will immediately become reasonable.

His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is of course much more important than Huazhen.

Second, the day when the sixth prince was "seriously ill" and stayed behind closed doors was the time when His Royal Highness was in charge of the household department. Afterwards, the sixth prince was also too quiet and would get sick from time to time. Rehabilitation" is rarely seen.

This inevitably led to a guess: Is this sixth prince who is always locked at home really the sixth prince?

In addition, the female swordsman with strong martial arts three days ago, as well as the fireball gun, all pointed the finger at the sixth prince, and it also led to another conjecture:
During the time when the sixth prince was in charge of the household department, did he encounter a huge shortfall, which made him leave the capital in desperation and go to Baishuang City to steal silver mines, hoping to get a large amount of money to fill the shortfall?
Combining all the above, this is really a reasonable inference. Even if the last one is a bit far-fetched (the silver mining case happened much earlier than the time when the prince supervised the household department), the prince left Beijing without a call. , It is enough for His Royal Highness to take risks.

Anyway, it's just a misunderstanding if it's wrong, but if the matter is confirmed, it will be difficult for the Sixth Prince and the Hezhe clan to turn around.

This matter is top secret, apart from Wumeng and a few counselors, no one knows about it, not even Bush.And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's sudden visit to the Gulou was to pass on the news to this uncle.

　I'm going to the hospital tomorrow, so I'll ask for a day off, so I won't issue a single chapter.
