"Lord Sikong, long time no see. Is everything okay?" Shen Yishuo said slightly tiredly.

The third prince stayed up all night last night, looking for Yuchen and guarding Yun Wan. In addition, the trouble caused by Dugu Xiaomeng and the encounter with Ze Fenglin in the morning made him very tired at the moment. However, due to human kindness, Shen Yishuo had to get it.

Come to Zongbaifu and explain to Sikong Zhi, so as not to cause any estrangement between him and others.

"The Third Prince has come to my residence, what instructions do you have?" Sikong Zhi seemed to be waiting for the distinguished guest and never left. On weekdays, he came to Zongbai's residence to handle official matters and never stayed too long.

"Looking at what Master Sikong said, can't I come to Zongbai Mansion to ask for your advice?" Shen Yishuo said politely. He had always been very polite to Sikong Zhi.

"The third prince said this, it is really a great honor for me." Sikong Zhi has been in the officialdom for a long time and has climbed to his current position by relying on his personal talents. He is very good at adapting to the situation. He has always admired Shen Yishuo's talent and appearance.

"Today I just want to ask Lord Sikong about what happened last night." Shen Yishuo expressed his attitude to reassure Sikong Zhi. He didn't want him to think that he was here to ask questions.

"What the third prince is referring to, was it last night? Or this morning? I am stupid, I hope the prince will make it clear." Sikong Zhi speculated on the hidden meaning of Shen Yishuo's words. When getting along with people in the city, every word seems to be like

There is profound meaning.

"Lord Sikong, I found a suspicious person on Temple Street last night and sent General Ze Feng to mobilize the guards of the city. But who knew that in desperation, he secretly mobilized the guards of Tianfu City without your permission. Suddenly,

I didn’t have time to ask,” Shen Yishuo explained truthfully.

"I know that General Ze Feng did it for official reasons. It's understandable that he transferred the wrong guards out of desperation, but..." Sikong Zhi didn't expect that the third prince would come to admit his mistake in person, which surprised him.

"Just what? If you have any secrets, I hope Lord Sikong will tell you." Looking at Sikong Zhi's hesitant appearance, Shen Yishuo asked, he came here just to find out the details.

"Your Majesty didn't know something. Although it was just a troop movement, it caused quite a stir. After I learned about it this morning, I rushed to explain it to His Majesty." Sikong Zhi shook his head and expressed regret. He felt sorry for this matter.

It took me a long time to think before I dared to report it to the emperor.

"Thank you for your hard work. I also explained to the emperor that General Ze Feng has left the underworld. He himself fell ill due to fright. If Zong Baifu still needs to ask questions in the past few days, just ask me.

Yes." Shen Yishuo was very polite. He didn't want Sikong Zhi to think that he was giving an order.

"Third Prince, let me worry about it. When I learned the news, General Ze Feng was already imprisoned in the underworld. Please don't blame me." Sikong Zhi took the opportunity to clear up his responsibilities. He didn't want to be involved for no reason.

In the midst of a turmoil, in this uncertain situation, if you stand in the wrong team, you will fall into the quagmire, and even your life may be in danger.

"Where are you talking? Master Sikong is serious. I wanted to come and explain to you this morning. Who would have thought that I have been delayed until now. I don't know why Master Ze Feng escorted his own flesh and blood to the underworld?" Shen Yishuo asked tentatively,

He really didn't understand Ze Fengduo's behavior, which was strange and unreasonable.

"Didn't the third prince hear about this?" Sikong Zhi suddenly lowered his voice. He didn't believe that Shen Yishuo didn't know Ze Fengduo's original intention.

"What did you hear? Sir, you might as well explain it clearly." Shen Yishuo showed no emotion or anger, and still asked calmly.

"Someone secretly reported that Ze Fenglin used the prince's instructions to mobilize troops to suppress the people. If someone who doesn't understand the prince's character hears this, he must not think that the prince is plotting..." Sikong Zhi carefully observed Shen Yishuo. At such a young age, he was actually very deep in the city.

Very soon, even he, a man who has experienced government affairs for a long time, could not guess what he was thinking or what he was about to say at this moment.

"No wonder Lord Ze Feng would personally send his son to the underworld. He wanted to use this move to clear his suspicions." Shen Yishuo followed Sikong Ao's reminder and said.

"Yes, you are not afraid of shadows when you are upright. Only when you kill your relatives for justice can the day come to light. This is a clever move." Sikong Zhi said very cryptically. He did not dare to discuss political affairs arbitrarily for fear of being overheard by someone with righteous intentions and then sue him.

shape.

"Well, I would like to ask you, what are the facts?" Shen Yishuo was not in the mood to listen to Sikong Zhi's speculation. He wanted to know more details.

"According to the preliminary judgment of the veteran, there was a mistake. After General Ze Feng sent the guards back this morning, someone sent the prince's handwriting." Sikong Zhi finally told something that Shen Yishuo didn't know and listened to his advice.

, Shen Yishuo's thinking became much clearer, and the doubts were solved.

"What is the handwriting?" Shen Yishuo continued to ask. Chatting with this old fox really couldn't relax for a moment.

"I explained the purpose of the troop deployment last night. It was said that the prince molested civilian girls on the street and the general showed off his authority and flirted with the guards. Does the third prince think this is true?" Sikong Zhi briefly summarized the contents of the letter.

"My lord, could you please give this letter to me for review?" Shen Yishuo wanted to personally check the authenticity of the handwriting.

"The old minister has handed it over to the Zongcha Mansion for record. The Third Prince can investigate it carefully." Sikong Zhi would not take the initiative to take on such a thankless job. The Zongcha Mansion was willing to take it, and he couldn't be happier.

If the case turns out to be related to the prince, it will involve the political situation of the government, and Sikong Zhi doesn't want to make any choice without knowing the reason.

"The rumors are really terrible. A small letter of explanation can actually spread that the prince is planning to rebel? People's hearts are so full~" Shen Yishuo sighed, and he finally understood why the emperor was unhappy.

"Isn't that right? The old minister was panicked when he first heard about it. After thinking about it, he still reported it to the emperor. There must be no ambiguity in anything involving the prince. Moreover, the old minister also heard that the emperor had recently begun to write a will.

I don’t know if the matter of framing the prince is related to this." Sikong Zhi smiled flatteringly, he firmly believed that the news would not come out of nowhere.

"Lord Sikong said so. I have something to trouble you, who is so well-informed." Shen Yishuo quickly changed the subject. He wanted Sikong Yi to help find out the whereabouts of the mysterious man.

"The Third Prince really praises my veteran. If you think my veteran is useful, just give me your orders." Sikong Zhi said flattered. It was a rare opportunity for him to serve Shen Yishuo.

"I hope that you, your Excellency, and everyone in the Zong Bai Mansion, especially the night guards, will search carefully. If you find a masked night walker, you must pay more attention to its whereabouts. Try not to miss any clues, but don't alert the snake."

Shen Yishuo directly entrusted it to Sikong Zhi. He felt that Zong Baifu should be fully utilized, the largest department among the three princes. Apart from war and city defense, could it only be spent as an idler the rest of the time?

The world is peaceful, and the people are lucky enough to escape from this world. Who should I stand for if I am worried? I want to serve the public.
