After a long time, Li Qiao finally said the man's name.

"His name is Che Xuekun, and he often travels around as a Taoist priest."

Because Li Qiao failed in many trials, his life was impoverished. When he fell ill, he didn't even have the money to get medicine, so he could only wait to die in despair.

It was at that time that he met Che Xuekun.

Che Xuekun is erudite and talented. He not only cured Li Qiao's disease, but also greatly praised Li Qiao's talent.

In his opinion, Li Qiao failed to pass the imperial examinations not because his knowledge was not good enough, but because Li Qiao was too upright and would not be flattering, so he failed to get the opportunity to display his talents.

Li Qiao lived such a big life, and it was the first time that someone admired him so much, and he was naturally very happy. In addition, the other party was his own savior. Li Qiao quickly introduced the other party as a confidant, and wished he could go to the edge of the fire.

Therefore, when Che Xuekun pulled him in, he agreed with almost no hesitation.

It turned out that Taoist You Fang was just a disguised identity of Che Xuekun.

In fact, he is from Chenguo.

Chen State is located in the southeast of Dayan, and the territories of the two countries are bordered, but the land of Chen State is far less fertile than that of Dayan. In the past, Chen State also sent people to attack Dayan, but they all ended in failure.

In the past two years, the Chen Kingdom has not fought again, but it has not completely settled down. From time to time, people will be sent to Dayan Bianjing to loot the population and food.

Now that Chen Guo sent a person like Che Xuekun to sneak into Dayan, it must be a plot.

Yan Nanguan looked at him coldly: "Do you know what is the crime of fornicating with an enemy country?"

Li Qiao twitched the corners of his mouth: "Of course I know! But so what? Dayan Chao refused to give me a chance to show off my talents, so why can't I vote for another bright master?!"

Seeing that he didn't repent until he died, Yan Nanguan couldn't help cursing.

"Have you read all your books into the dog's stomach?!"

Li Qiao retorted.

"What right do you have to scold me?

You Eagle Guards are nothing but a group of eagle dogs kept by the old emperor, and it is because of you that the Dayan Dynasty becomes smoky.

The reason why I am locked up here today is just because of my bad luck, and I fell into your hands.

But don't be complacent.

Thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, sooner or later, you will not end well.

I'll take a step first and wait for you on Huangquan Road, hahahaha! "

He let out a wanton laughter that was almost insane, as if he had given up on himself.

Yan Nanguan looked at him with a sullen face, and when he had laughed enough, Yan Nanguan asked.

"Where is Che Xuekun?"

Li Qiao knew that he had no way out. Originally, he was determined to die and would never reveal anything about Che Xuekun, but the fact that Che Xuekun sent someone to kill him to silence him hurt him.

Since Che Xuekun wants him to die, then he shouldn't let Che Xuekun feel better.

Li Qiao's eyes were fierce: "Che Xuekun is very cunning. Every time he takes the initiative to contact me, he protects himself very well and never discloses his whereabouts to me."

Speaking of which, he couldn't help laughing at himself.

In fact, Che Xuekun has always been on guard against him, and is ready to abandon him at any time. It was because he believed in Che Xuekun too much that he didn't notice this.

Yan Nanguan showed disappointment. It turned out that Li Qiao did not know the whereabouts of Che Xuekun.

But then he heard Li Qiao say.

"Although I don't know where he is, I know that he has an old lover in Yujing City."

Yan Nanguan asked, "Who?"

"The top card of Luoyi Pavilion, Zhen Xixi."

When Yannanguan brought the Eagle Guards to Luoyi Pavilion, Zhen Xixi had already committed suicide.

Luoyi Pavilion is in a busy city, surrounded by merchants. When the Eagle Guards broke into Luoyi Pavilion, they immediately attracted many onlookers.

But after a while, many onlookers gathered outside the pavilion.

When everyone saw Zhen Xixi's body being carried out, it immediately caused quite a stir.

As the top card, Zhen Xixi naturally has many fans.

These people are naturally heartbroken when they see the woman they love dying like this, and their eyes are full of resentment when they look at the Eagle Guards.

In their opinion, Zhen Xixi is young and has always been healthy, and will not die suddenly.

She must have been forced to death by the Eagle Guards.

This group of god-killing things, even a weak woman is not spared, it is simply a loss of conscience!

Zhen Xixi's body was returned to the Justice Department, and the rest of the people in Luoyi Pavilion were also detained.

Luo Pingsha performed an autopsy on Zhen Xixi and found that she was pregnant.

Xiao Juan ordered people to investigate the people in Luoyi Pavilion.

After summing up everyone's confessions, combined with the time of Zhen Xixi's pregnancy, I finally came to a conclusion——

The fetus in her womb is likely to be Che Xuekun's.

Xiao Yan said in a deep voice, "We just sent people to Luoyi Pavilion, and Zhen Xixi committed suicide. This is not a coincidence, someone must be tipping off."

Yu curling immediately became alert: "What do you mean, there is a ghost in our justice department?"

Xiao Fan: "It's not an inner ghost."

If there is a real insider, Li Qiao will not be able to take the bait so smoothly.

He went on to say, "Che Xuekun should have sent someone to keep an eye on the justices. Once we have any changes, he will be aware of it."

Yu curled his logic: "That is to say, it was Che Xuekun who secretly sent a letter to Zhen Xixi, and Zhen Xixi chose to take his own life in order to save Che Xuekun. If all this is true, it means that Che Xuekun should He hasn't run far, maybe he's hiding in the city!"

Xiao Yan stood up: "I'll enter the palace now and ask the emperor to order the city gate to be blocked."

As long as the city gates are closed, Che Xuekun will not be able to escape. At that time, if the Eagle Guards search from house to house, they will definitely be able to find out!

Yu curling watched the man leave.

When the sun went down, she took the carriage back to the palace as usual.

Seeing that she was the only one who came back, Mother Xiuyan couldn't help asking.

"What about His Royal Highness?"

Yu curled up and said, "He went into the palace and should be back soon."

From what she knew about Prince Lang, he was a very efficient person, and he would definitely implement the plan to arrest Che Xuekun as soon as possible.

This time, however, her estimate was wrong.

Xiao Fan had been in the palace for a long time this time, and he never came back.

Yu Weiwei felt that something was wrong.

She was worried in her heart, so she and Aunt Xiuyan waited.

Seeing that the night is getting darker.

Empress Xiuyan is getting old and her energy is low. She has a tired look on her face, and she can't hold it anymore.

Yu Weiwei said to her.

"Go to sleep first, I'm here."

Aunt Xiuyan said helplessly: "The older you get, the more useless you are. I'll go back to the room and take a nap for a while. If there is any news, please let me know."

Yu curling said that there is no problem.

She watched Aunt Xiuyan leave, then propped her chin with one hand, staring at the candlelight in front of her.

Why didn't His Royal Highness come back?

It wasn't until the middle of the night that Xiao Yan finally came back.

It was so late, he thought everyone in the house should have fallen asleep, but he didn't expect that the lights were still on in the main room.
