Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

"Secret room? What secret room? Don't spit blood!"

Seeing a group of people break in, Fang Rouqi's pretty face flushed, it was caused by anger.

She herself is the daughter of the Fang family, a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. Although she is now in her 30s, the eldest lady still has a temper, and she is even more angry when she hears this.

"Whether there is a secret room, you can find out if you check."

Li Changshou glanced at Fang Rou, and just now he understood why there was such a familiar feeling.

Now I am very much looking forward to what will happen next.

With a wave of his hand, Gu Fan immediately understood, "Everyone find the secret room mechanism separately!"

Looking at the entire capital, Li Changshou was probably the only person who dared to search the Xiao Manor, even the former envoy of the Imperial City did not have the courage.

"His Royal Highness, can we talk alone?"

Xiao Pang saw a group of people looking for the mechanism, he naturally understood that it was only a matter of time before he found it, so he frowned and said something in a low voice.

"Don't worry, wait until everything is clear, as long as General Xiao is fine, I will personally apologize to you at that time."

After talking to this point, Xiao Pang also knew that there was no room for change, his complexion also turned cold, and a trace of killing intent faintly flashed in his eyes.

Yes!

Killing intent!
The things in the secret room cannot be found, otherwise it will be a catastrophe!
Of course Li Changshou noticed that no matter how well Xiao Pang hid the killing intent in Xiao Pang's eyes, the system represented the relationship between the two. From 60 all the way down to 30 and continued to drop, he knew that Xiao Pang was about to jump the wall in a hurry.

"General Xiao, there is nothing I can do about it. You have to be more patient, so I can go back and report to my concubine."

Just when Xiao Pang was hesitating whether to make a move, Li Changshou said seemingly unintentionally, it's not that I want to mess with you, but that you are ignorant and wandering between the two major forces in the court time and time again.

And it was these words that cracked Xiao Pang's determination to put all his eggs in one basket.

That's the way people are, as long as they are not in a desperate situation, it is impossible to take risks.

"Is this what the empress means?"

It's a pity that Li Changshou didn't answer at all. Taking advantage of this time, he found the mechanism seemingly by accident.

There was only a clicking sound of the mechanism turning, and the wall slowly moved away.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, including Gu Fan himself. He didn't expect that there would really be a secret room.

Swish!
Suddenly, when everyone lost their minds, someone rushed into the secret room immediately, and everyone reacted, and the person who rushed into the secret room was Xiao Pang.

"You stay outside and keep everyone in the Xiao Mansion under surveillance!"

Li Changshou ordered in a deep voice, and then took Gu Fan and the commanders of the Imperial City Division into the secret room.

As soon as he entered, he saw that Xiao Pang was destroying the pictures of ladies on the wall, and the clothes and fabrics were scattered on the ground. Seeing this scene, Li Changshou didn't know what Xiao Pang had done.

Go in first and destroy the dragon robe, and at the same time want to destroy all the pictures of ladies with the appearance of noble concubines on the wall.

However, time was running out, and there was no time at all, only the dragon robe and half of the pictures of ladies were destroyed.

"General Xiao, stop!"

Li Changshou snorted coldly, Gu Fan raised his sword and stepped forward, and other masters of the Imperial City Division drew out their weapons one after another. Seeing this, Xiao Pang was considered extremely deep in the city, and his reaction was quick.

Anyway, the dragon robe has been destroyed and only some rags are left, even if someone suspects it, there is no evidence.

The only thing that made him regret was the pictures of ladies on the wall, some of which survived.

"Is Your Highness satisfied now?"

Xiao Pang sneered repeatedly with a sullen face, while the people from the Imperial City Department immediately stepped forward to check, but there was nothing else found in the secret room except for some pictures of ladies and scattered rags on the ground.

Gu Fan couldn't help but look towards Li Changshou. There are only these in such a secret place?

It is really puzzling.

"Have you found anything?"

Li Changshou did not respond, but scanned the entire secret room with his eyes. He pretended to be here for the first time, and there were surprises, doubts, and scrutiny in his eyes.

His eyes fell on those rags, Gu Fan immediately picked up a few rags on the ground and brought them to Li Changshou.

"Your Highness, it is beyond recovery."

Everyone can see what Xiao Pang is hiding, but the evidence has been destroyed, and there is no proof.

But that's not what Li Changshou wanted, he nodded upon hearing the words, "Take away all the things in the secret room, go back and check carefully!"

"His Royal Highness Shouwang, I can go face the saint right now!"

Xiao Pang shouted coldly, his aura also burst out, but Li Changshou saw that he was still concealing it, and only revealed the aura of the realm of the little master.

The people from the Imperial City Department stood in front of Li Changshou, but they were only facing a little grandmaster. They knew that they had no chance of winning, but they had to block it.

Li Changshou waved his hand, signaling to everyone not to be nervous, and picked up a piece of rag, "Can General Xiao explain, what is this?"

"A few rags, what can they tell?"

Xiao Pang sneered, sneered and didn't care.

Li Changshou nodded when he heard the words, and then looked at the pictures of ladies on the wall that had not yet been destroyed, "General Xiao has other hobbies, but these pictures are so vivid that you can hide them in the secret room and cherish them so much." , could it be General Xiao's beloved?"

As soon as this remark came out, Xiao Pang narrowed his eyes, and at this time there was a quarrel outside, and at the same time, he saw Fang Rou, Xiao Pang's wife, barging in. She looked at the secret room, her eyes were full of shock and bewilderment. Did not know.

Then seeing those pictures of ladies again, her delicate body trembled, and she turned her head to look at Xiao Pang.

"Eh? The women in these paintings are somewhat similar to Mrs. Xiao?"

Li Changshou deliberately showed surprise.

Why did he feel familiar when he saw Fang Rou?
This is the reason, it turns out that Fang Rou has some similarities with the imperial concubine, if you don't observe carefully, or people who are familiar with the imperial concubine, you really won't think of it.

But he often met with the imperial concubine, so he naturally felt deeply.

"It's Zhuo Jing, is there anything else you want to ask, Your Highness?"

Xiao Pang's complexion was already very bad. If it wasn't for the presence of so many people from the Imperial City Division and the great commotion, he would even kill people without hesitation!
Even if today's matter is resolved, it will attract more attention and even suspicion.

"So that's the case, but we were reckless. I didn't expect General Xiao and his wife to be so affectionate and have such a good time..."

Li Changshou couldn't help but laugh, his teasing tone could be heard by a fool.

Fang Rou's delicate body trembled, she wanted to say something but in the end she didn't say anything.

And at this time, someone suddenly discovered that among the rags in the secret room, there was a very different piece.

"Your Highness, there are new discoveries!"

"Oh? Let's take a look!"

Li Changshou pretended to be surprised, and it was discovered that it was the piece of cloth he had left in the secret room. He had torn it off the dress of the imperial concubine when he pretended to be a thief, and now this thing fell into his hands again.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the fabric comes from a woman's dress.

"Your Highness, this is not an ordinary silk fabric, and there is no way to buy it outside the market."

There are a lot of talented people in the Imperial City Division, and someone immediately noticed something was wrong and hurriedly informed.

Li Changshou naturally knew it well, and nodded when he heard the words, "Go and check the source."

"Your Highness, there is no need to check. This is a unique fabric of the Palace Weaving Department. It is only available in the palace, and it is absolutely impossible for it to be outside the palace."

Gu Fan really had some insight, and immediately gave the answer after careful observation.

As a result, things became complicated. Li Changshou was the one who knew the truth, but the others present didn't know.

Xiao Pang frowned and his eyes were terrifying. He looked at the piece of rag in Li Changshou's hand, and faintly felt that some kind of conspiracy was approaching him.

Fang Rou's already angry breathing became heavier and she clenched her silver teeth.

"General Xiao, don't you mind if I take these back to the Imperial City Division to investigate?"

With a wave of Li Changshou's hand, the people in the Imperial City Department were not polite, and the pictures of ladies, including the rags scattered everywhere, were all put away.

Come out of the secret room.

It was discovered that the Xiao Mansion welcomed another wave of guests.

It was none other than the prince who had just visited Xiao Pang not long ago.

"Sixth brother, what are you doing? Why are you so violent?"

The prince led the people forward, with a questioning look on his face, and at the same time he said to Xiao Pang: "General Xiao, the sixth younger brother has just been appointed as the Secretary of the Imperial City, so I hope you don't see him if he offends you."

Seeing the crown prince coming, Li Changshou's face remained unchanged, "The prince's brother has the news in a timely manner, and today he is also ordered to investigate the case. Some things need to be brought back to the Imperial City Department to investigate one by one. It is not aimed at anyone."

Who would believe this?

The prince frowned and asked, "What did the sixth brother find out?"

"A few pictures of ladies, and some clothes and fabrics that were deliberately torn apart."

Li Changshou really didn't hide it, and asked people to bring things over. The prince was shocked when he saw the pictures of ladies. Ordinary people can't recognize them, so why can't he recognize them?

I saw the appearance of the woman in the lady's picture at a glance, but then I pretended to be calm and said, "What is the sixth brother doing, can this thing be called evidence?"

"His Royal Highness, this is the fabric found by the low-ranking people. This kind of fabric is only available to the Palace Weaving Department, and it is only available to the ladies in the palace."

The Imperial City Secretary was ordered to track down the assassin, but now he found only the fabric of the imperial palace in the Imperial Palace Commander's Mansion, and the key was found in the secret room.

These evidences alone are enough for the Imperial City Division to arrest people!
"So it was for this matter. The crown prince gave General Xiao a few rolls of silk before. Even if the emperor knew about it, he wouldn't say anything."

The crown prince personally guaranteed that he could indeed get the silk cloth specially provided by the court in his capacity, so this kind of explanation can be justified by force.

The people in the Imperial City Division all looked at Li Changshou, waiting for the next instruction.

"Since the prince and brother personally vouch for it, that person doesn't need to be escorted back to the Imperial City Secretary, but the things must be brought back."

This result was obviously different from what the prince had heard, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only reluctantly nod in agreement.

Watching the people in the Imperial City Department leave, Xiao Pang's face was extremely gloomy. He is an old fox himself, and has a very keen intuition for conspiracy. Today's incident made him very disturbed.

In particular, that piece of rag specially provided by the palace is like a stick in the throat!

"General Xiao, what's going on?"

The prince hypocritically asked, Xiao Pang took a deep breath, he had to admit the favor of the prince today, and now he had to seriously consider whether to join the pirate ship of the prince, if today was really a conspiracy against him, then He must make a choice as soon as possible to follow the prince!

"His Royal Highness, I will come to visit you in person someday."

After saying that, the prince also got the answer he wanted, and left in a hurry.

However, the atmosphere in the Xiao Mansion was solemn at the moment, Fang Rou's pretty face turned cold. She is a smart woman, and she has already guessed some of the things in the secret room.

But also because of her cleverness, she chose to hold back and keep the overall situation in mind.

……

Leave from Xiao Mansion.

Li Changshou said nothing.

As if lost in thought.

When dealing with Xiao Pang from the very beginning, his original intention was not to kill him, but now he has changed his mind.

"Xiao Pang, you must die."

Ever since he saw the secrets in the secret room, he has changed his mind, Xiao Pang must not stay!

There is a rebellious bone in the back of the head, high martial arts, and a heavy soldier in his hand!

Secretly, he really has unreasonable thoughts about the imperial concubine, hiding the dragon robe?

What does that mean?
Do you want to raise troops to rebel and usurp the throne, and then occupy the imperial concubine?

Needless to say, throughout the ages, there are many examples of rebelling against one's own emperor and occupying the former emperor's harem and concubines throughout the ages.

Such a person is a disaster to keep.

"Gu Fan, what do you think of those things in the secret room?"

Li Changshou opened his eyes and asked casually.

Gu Fan didn't dare to be negligent when he heard the words, instead of answering immediately, he was deliberating.

"There's no one else, just say whatever you want."

"Your Highness, in my humble opinion, there is indeed a serious suspicion on Xiao Pang."

There were rags all over the floor, although they were completely destroyed, but the color was suspicious, and those silk cloths that were paid tribute to concubines in the harem appeared in the secret room of the Xiao Mansion.

Li Changshou closed his eyes, "I will press this matter for a day, and I will meet my mother and concubine tomorrow."

Why press for a day?
Gu Fan knew it well, showing gratitude, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Let's go, I'll go back with you today, so I can treat your mother again."
