68. Hours in advance

Yu Mufei was shocked to find that Chen Lang was in a bad mood and asked, "What happened to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet tonight?"

Chen Lang shook his head, then nodded again, feeling like he was out of control. He gently patted Yu Mufei on the shoulder and walked into the room ignorantly.

"What the hell?" The butler Zhong Ping stood up suddenly.

"The big incident is very troublesome, and all of us may be very troublesome." Yin Baichuan sighed and his butt fell on the chair.

"Don't be anxious, tell me if there is any problem." Chao Qing smelled the opportunity. He was calm on the surface, but in fact he planned to quickly pull out information from Yin Baichuan's mouth and report it to the Minister of Revenue Lu Xuan.

This brat!

Seeing this, Zhong Ping hurriedly winked at Yin Baichuan, fearing that Yin Baichuan would say something wrong. However, Yin Baichuan ignored him and told the Zhaixing Tower fire and the assassin's assassin from beginning to end.

Indeed, a big event...

After listening to Yin Baichuan's lingering fear, everyone present had their hearts beat faster and their heads were congested. It was obvious that Emperor Xu would definitely investigate, and the Prince of Liang was the first to be the one who was in trouble. Eighty percent of the people in the mansion were affected.

If you are arrested and entered the yamen for this, torture will definitely be inevitable.

...

unlucky!

Chen Lang clenched his fists and slammed hard on the wall. In the familiar environment, Chen Lang tried his best to calm his anger. He paced back and forth in the room, then poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all over his back.

"Oh~"

Chen Lang lowered his eyebrows and sighed, filling the cup with tea. He patted his forehead hard, trying to wake himself up, but his mind was still filled with anger and panic. At this moment, he seemed to have lost his logical thinking ability.

Calm, calm down!

There was a voice in his ear repeatedly comforting Chen Lang, but Chen Lang was still in a mess.

The moonlight outside the window is still bright. The moon on Mid-Autumn Night hangs in the sky like a silver plate. Chen Lang gritted his teeth, walked behind the screen, and lay on the bed with his back on all sides.

As soon as his body lay flat, everything around him suddenly became silent. Chen Lang closed his eyes gently, ready to empty his thoughts.

"ah!"

"ah!"

As soon as the eyes closed, the burning fire appeared in my mind, as well as men and women struggling in the fire. Their faces were particularly twisted by fear, and the screams bursting from the depths of their throats were extremely shrill.

Immediately afterwards, a bloody mouth rose in front of me, and a finger came out of the mouth in a flash. The finger ruthlessly pointed at Chen Lang's forehead. At the same time, a strange voice was floating: It was him, he was hiding behind the scenes and instructing me to murder Emperor Xu.

Pooh!

Chen Lang spat out a mouthful of saliva in front of his mind. Soon, the burning fire disappeared, the struggling men and women disappeared, and the finger that accused Chen Lang also dissipated like clouds.

After a long period of trouble, Chen Lang finally calmed down and could rethink the problem.

assassin……

For Chen Lang himself, the most important thing is the assassin. If there was no slander from the assassin before his death, it would be difficult for the fire in Zhaixing Tower to be associated with Chen Lang.

However, the assassin's inexplicable actions made Chen Lang fall into a vortex.

After careful recollection, Chen Lang was sure that he did not know the assassin. He could say very responsibly that Chen Lang had absolutely no impression of the assassin's face.

However, if Chen Lang doesn't know the assassin, it does not mean that the assassin does not know Chen Lang. At least one thing, the assassin knows the identity of the prince of Chen Lang, otherwise the finger before his death would not have pointed at Chen Lang.

If he guessed correctly, the assassin who murdered Emperor Xu was probably the criminal who set fire to Zhaixing Tower. He originally wanted to burn Emperor Xu and the royal family members who attended the banquet, but Xu Huang escaped with the special structure of the outer wall of Zhaixing Tower and the quilt rope that was stained with water.

So the assassin had no choice but to take risks and ended up committing suicide by taking poison.

Does he have any accomplices?

Chen Lang could not accurately judge this, but his intuition told Chen Lang that it would be difficult for the assassin to set fire on Zhaixing Tower alone. Even if it could be burned, it would not have formed such a large scale.

After all, at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner tonight, water sources are always available on each floor of Zhaixing Tower, and a small-scale fire is easily extinguished.

Speaking of which, the assassin and his accomplices should have planned for a long time and wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival night to launch a fatal attack.

But why is it involved me!

Chen Lang closed his eyes and couldn't stop shaking his head. In fact, all the guesses are just blind guesses. If you want to solve the case, you must go through on-site investigation, as well as various visits and clue collection.

Irritable!

Chen Lang was not interested in getting involved and didn't want to get involved at all. But things have developed to this point, and destiny is not something he can control. In the final analysis, Chen Lang's destiny depends on Emperor Xu.

Don’t have any illusions, Emperor Xu will probably cause trouble. Because the prince of Xu was pledged to Liang State, it is difficult for Emperor Xu to attack Chen Lang easily, but those people around Chen Lang may suffer flesh and blood.

Yu Mufei...

There is also the coachman Wu Xi, maid Caier, and cook Sun Min who just followed Chen Lang some time ago. The three of them were really in decline, and they were just taken into the Prince's Mansion by Chen Lang and they were facing disaster.

what to do?

How can we clear the suspicion and how can we protect these people who follow us?

Chen Lang gritted his teeth and had the idea of ​​immediately dismissing Yu Mufei and the others. Because Chen Lang guessed that perhaps tomorrow morning, Xu's troops would invade the Prince's Mansion.

Do it as soon as you say it!

Chen Lang suddenly turned over and got out of bed. He knew that if he did this, Chao Qing would definitely confess afterwards. Yu Mufei and others left the prince's mansion early, thereby increasing the suspicion of Chen Lang's secretly murder of Emperor Xu. However, in order to prevent Yu Mufei and others from being tortured, Chen Lang was willing to take a gamble.

However, before stepping out of the room, there were waves of horse hooves coming from outside. It sounded like a small army was surrounding the prince's mansion.

Finished ~

This was several hours earlier than Chen Lang expected to come to arrest people at dawn.

"Bangbangbang!"

There was a rush to knock at the door, and everyone in the yard was in chaos, and even Yin Baichuan was at a loss.

Chen Lang rushed to everyone as fast as possible, and then said in an orderly tone: "Open the door quickly."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Ping said tremblingly: "According to the agreement, the Prince's Mansion is regarded as the land of Liang, and they cannot force themselves to break through."

Chen Lang said seriously: "Believe me, the situation is very special tonight. If the door is not opened, they will definitely break in."

"Bangbangbang!"

The knock on the door became even more manic and rapid. As the butler, Zhong Ping was very scared, but he could only step towards the door with his teeth while Chen Lang led everyone behind him.

Crunch ~

The long door opening sound is like a death talisman.

The lantern emitted a faint light, reflecting Linghu Suting's cold face. Around him, the fully armed Imperial Guards were eyeing him.

"What do you want to do so late?" Chen Lang slapped his swollen face and pretended to be fat.

"Catch people! Except for the Prince of Liang, everyone was sent to the Heavenly Prison!" Linghu Suting threw his head and signaled the Imperial Guard to start the action.

"Slow!" Chen Lang stopped shouting, "Catch them all, what should I do? Who will do if I wash my clothes, who will cook for me, and who will sweep the floor for me?"

Linghu Suting smiled coldly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Congress Xu arranged another group of people to take care of Your Highness."

As he said that, Linghu Suting on the horse raised his arms high and prepared to formally order the Imperial Guard.
