At the gate of the palace, Zhao Pu welcomed Zhao Zhen and Concubine Pang who were safe and sound.
Zhao Zhen entered the palace and ordered the demolition of the fog building in the Eight Princes' Mansion first. On the other hand, the stoves in Jiang Hongyue's old house were also inspected one by one, and the mechanism was removed to take out the magic eye fruit inside.
Bai Yutang led the people to solve those traps easily, and the result of their earlier analysis was indeed just an illusion caused by the magic eye, and there was no danger.
In addition, there were some special circumstances this time - Zhan Zhao was not affected! Neither dizziness nor hallucinations. As for whether the blood from Bai Yutang just now is still effective, or whether it is caused by changes in the eyes, it is not known.
Next, Zhan Zhao took people to capture Zhao Cong.
The Eighth Prince was very anxious, because not long after Zhao Cong disappeared, Lord Chai also disappeared. However, Zhan Zhao reassured him that Princess Chai and Zhao Cong were together, and they were all in a dock near Kaifeng, waiting to board a boat and go out to sea.
When Zhao Cong was caught, he had lost his usual ambition and composure, and seemed very surprised. Princess Chai was distraught after being treated by Gongsun and woke up. She knew that her own son Zhao Cong's assassination of the king in an attempt to seize the throne was a punishable crime, so she cried a lot.
Zhao Cong was arrested in the main hall. Zhao Zhen was concerned about the feelings of the Eighth Prince and the Princess, so he asked Mr. Bao to conduct a secret interrogation, not allowing too many people to know about it.
Zhao Cong knelt in front of the hall, repeating one sentence¡ªimpossible, why is it so early? !
After being asked by Mr. Bao, Zhao Cong replied that Lin Qiluo was just a container for raising the magic eyes. His eyes would explode after three days, and all the vitality in his body would be sucked away by the magic eyes. He didn't understand why Lin Qiluo died at the time Earlier.
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought it might be the effect of the "Blood Banyan Tree" in Wu Ming's room. Gongsun has already taken the blood banyan and is ready to study it carefully. It may have some characteristics that are compatible with the magic eye fruit.
Ask about other things, Zhao Cong knows very little, their plan is very simple, to make a deal with a group of mysterious but talented people. He helped kill Zhao Zhen, used Lin Qiluo to get the magic eye, and the other party helped him get the throne.
He used the eight kings and princesses to build a fog tower, and tried to assassinate the king to create chaos when the nightmare besieged the city, but it was Lin Qiluo who really killed the man, and that mysterious figure came up with the idea.
Zhan Zhao asked him if that person was Zhan Hao, Zhao Cong said he didn't know, he had always listened to Lin Qiluo, and Lin Qiluo was the young master.
"Will Lin Qiluo let you watch him kill himself?" Bai Yutang felt puzzled.
"In the end when Lin Qiluo went away, I realized that he was just a container." Zhao Cong explained, "The man who came to see me was a man in black, a man in his twenties or thirties, masked, and told me that Lin Qiluo was just a container. We have all been taken advantage of, let me run quickly, take shelter in the dock, and wait for the ship to go to sea."
Everyone felt strange when they heard this, but Zhao Cong didn't have any magic eye power, nor did he have Bai Yutang's blood to avoid being deceived, so no one knew whether what he saw was real or an illusion.
Zhan Zhao always felt that something was wrong, so he and Bai Yutang took time to visit Liu Xi's mansion, wanting to investigate the second young master again, but found it was a mess. According to Liu Xi, his unjust son stole a box he had saved for his good brother Gong Xue. As for what was inside the box, he had no idea.
Zhan Zhao and the others were full of suspicion, so they had to send people to continue to monitor Liu Xi, but found that Liu Xi was packing his bags with his children and the Shen brothers and sisters, as if he wanted to travel far. The Shen brothers and sisters are also a problem. Shen Baiqing was originally recommended by Zhao Cong and arranged for an official position, but now it has disappeared, but the two are indeed not involved in this case.
"One Eldest Young Master has exploded, and the other Second Young Master is clearly alive, but he is treated as a ghost. These two are not related by blood, so why are they related?" Zhan Zhao walked back, Ask Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang shook his head, this time the Kaifeng Mansion arrested many people, besides Zhao Cong, there were also some villains involved in this matter, but Zhan Hao disappeared. Bai Yutang graciously asked Zhan Zhao to bite him againbut Zhan Zhao couldn't keep his mouth open no matter how sharp his teeth were, and this strange power always felt ominous, so Zhan Zhao refused to use it, "I did see my elder brother, He did tell me that Lin Qiluo is just a container, and he is cultivating the fruit of the magic eye. But he doesn't seem to be in Kaifeng."
"Then where did you see him?" Bai Yutang was curious.
"Hmm on a swift river, with cliffs on both sides. In short, judging from the terrain, I don't think it's Kaifeng or somewhere around it." Zhan Zhao was also very troubled.
Back in Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Cong had finished his trial, and a bunch of his henchmen were bitten out, many of whom were officials in the court. As for Zhao CongThe servant behind the young master was busy clearing the table.
Dead Leaf glanced at him and went upstairs.
On the top of the cabin on the third floor, there is a very elegant cabin with windows on all sides. One person stands by the window, as if admiring the distant scenery.
"Master."
"Are you back?" The man turned his head, the afterglow of the setting sun passed through the window, leaving a shadow in the corner of the wall, and the man stood in the shadow. Withered Leaf looked expressionlessly at the man who had always been hiding in the darkness.
"Where's something?" The man slowly stretched out his hand.
Dead Leaf put a cloth bag in his hand.
The man withdrew his hand, opened the cloth bag, and saw two round black jade stones lying inside, with lifelike eye pupil patterns on them, and when the sun shone, there was a strange vitality.
The man raised the corner of his mouth, "I thought you couldn't get it, Lin Qiluo died earlier, it seems that Zhan Hao is not really omnipotent."
Dead Leaf didn't answer him, "It's okay, I'm going out."
"Hehe." The man raised his hand to stop him, "I want one more thingto be exact, a person."
Dead Leaves looked at him.
"Well, Zhan Zhao, you know him?"
Dead Leaf frowned.
"What I need most now is him, by the wayhe will come to Dali, right?"
With a half-smile, half-smile, half-serious tone that seemed to be just a joke, Dead Leaf had no choice but to face it coldly, but sighed in her heart¡ªthis old fox.
"Zhan Zhao is not so good, besides, what's the use of you?"
"Of course there is something for me, by the way." The man tapped lightly on the edge of the window, "And that Bai Yutang"
A slight strangeness flashed in Dead Leaf's eyes.
"Hehe." The man smiled, the smile was not very clear in the darkness, only his lips were slightly opened and closed, and he said with a smile, "We can't let him live."
"Do you think you are sure you can deal with them?" Dead Leaf looked at him with a bit of mockery.
"Not in Kaifeng, but not sure when we arrive in Dali." The man stretched out his hand and gently stroked his forehead, "Have a headache, go out, I want to sleep for a while, tell them to sail and go back to Dali!"
