Banhua got off the sedan and said to the servant who came to greet her: "Is the Crown Prince back?"

"Xiangjun, the prince came back half an hour ago," the servant bowed and replied, "he is studying in the study."

"Studying?" Banhua raised her eyebrows. Her brother would get dizzy when he entered the study room. If he could calm down and study, it would be like a rain in the world. "Come on, let me check on him."

"Confucius said: Don't be worried about others because you don't know yourself, but you don't know others when you are worried..."

As soon as Banhua walked to the door of the study room, she heard the sound of Ban Heng reading from inside. Banhua opened the door and saw him shaking his head with a serious look on his face. He crossed his arms and said, "Stop pretending, I'm reading." "The Analects of Confucius", but what you are holding is "Book of Rites", you are really amazing."

"I am confusing calligraphy. I am reading "The Book of Rites" with my eyes, but I am memorizing "The Analects of Confucius" in my heart. Only in this way can I improve my memory," Ban Heng defended without blushing, " You are a prostitute, what do you know?"

"Huh?" Banhua raised an eyebrow, "What did you just say?"

"I, I didn't say anything," Ban Heng put down the "Book of Rites" in his hand and approached Banhua with a smile, "Sister, you know my brain is not working well, I was talking nonsense just now. Here."

Banhua ignored him, went to the bookshelf and took out a set of "Mencius". When she opened it, she found that it was just a shell of "Mencius", but in fact it was some kind of miscellaneous notes. Before she could open it, the book had been taken out by Banhua. Heng snatched it away.

"Sister, my good sister, you can't read this book." After Ban Heng grabbed the book, he stuffed it into his arms. He couldn't let his sister read this kind of book, otherwise his mother would beat him to death. .

"I know what's inside even if I don't look at it. It's nothing more than stories about meeting a fox fairy in the mountains and the young master and the young lady promising each other life." Banhua glanced at the shelf filled with books, "Are you so honest today?"

Ban Heng lowered his head and said nothing.

"Are you causing trouble outside again?" Banhua looked at him suspiciously, "Are you still short of money?"

"Then...that's not a big deal," Ban Heng looked at the roof and the ground, but did not dare to look at Ban Hua, "It's just a small matter."

"Tell me, what happened." Banhua sat down on the chair and pointed to the seat next to him, "Sit down and tell me slowly."

"When I was riding back today, a man suddenly jumped out from the side and was accidentally kicked by my horse." Ban Heng felt that he was also quite unjust. He was obviously riding very slowly. Who knew what would happen? Someone suddenly ran out and just happened to startle his horse, who then kicked him over.

You must know that this horse was given to him by his grandmother. It is said to be a purebred horse from outside the Great Wall as tribute. It has very strong legs. He suspected that the person who was kicked was seriously injured.

"What happened next?" Banhua frowned. Although her brother was idle and not doing his job, he would never do such a thing as riding a horse in a busy city and hurting people.

"Later, I was about to take him to see a doctor. Suddenly, several more people rushed out from the side, pulled him up from the ground and ran away. I didn't even react." Ban Heng touched his buttocks. Being a smart head, "What do you think we should do about this?"

"Report to the official," Banhua peeled the dried fruits in the fruit plate and said lazily while eating, "Since we can't find anyone anyway, and we don't want to be plotted against, we might as well report to the official openly."

"What if they take me away?"

"Are you a pig-headed person?" Ban Hua glared at Ban Heng with hatred, "You won't say that you were worried about something happening today when you saw someone who was suspected of being chased and bumped into your horse. I just came to report to the official. Besides," Banhua touched the blood jade bracelet on his wrist, "Who dares to touch you now?"

"That's true." Ban Heng thought that his family would be unlucky five years later, and he felt confident. "But what if it's not a pursuit?"

"Do you know what suspicion means?" Banhua clapped his hands, stood up and said, "You don't care if he is suspicious, just take it out first."

"I understand, I'll go right away." Although Ban Heng's brain is not very good, he has one advantage, that is, he can listen to good words, so he obeyed what Ban Hua said.

At nightfall, Jingcheng County Lieutenant Zhao Dongan was about to change out of his official robes and go home for dinner when he heard the yamen servant say that Prince Jingting had come to report the crime.

As an eighth-grade official in charge of public security in the capital, Zhao Dongan has been living in dire straits, because this is at the feet of the emperor, and any small matter may turn into a big event. In addition, there are many noble people in the capital, and even ordinary people may have one or two prominent relatives, so he is simply worried about the security of the capital.

Now when he heard that the prince of Jingtinghou Mansion was here to report the case, he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

The grandson of the dignified eldest princess, if there is anything that cannot be solved, even if there is something really wrong, he should go to Mr. Jing Zhaoyi and report it to him, an eighth-grade little sesame official? Although he was feeling extremely aggrieved, County Lieutenant Zhao didn't even dare to show an expression on his face. He straightened his robe and strode out to welcome him.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw a young man wearing a brocade robe, a jade crown binding his hair, and a brocade belt around his waist standing in the yard. At first glance, he looked like a handsome young man.

Unfortunately, they just look alike.

"Xiaguan Zhao Dongan has met Prince Ban."

"Sir Zhao, you are so polite." Ban Heng saw that Zhao Dongan was not very old, but his hair was quite white. He sympathetically stretched out his hand to help him up. "I am here today to report the case to you."

Zhao Xianwei's heart trembled: "I wonder what case the prince is going to report?"

"It may be a homicide."

Kill, kill? !

Zhao Xianwei felt a little broken. Don't think that just because you are the prince, you can talk nonsense. It involves human lives, which is not a trivial matter.

No matter how broken Zhao Dongan was, Ban Heng told Lieutenant Zhao about what happened in the afternoon, and finally sighed: "I thought that this person was injured and was taken away by an unknown person. , I felt uneasy, so after much deliberation, I decided to report the crime. Will County Lieutenant Zhao blame me for making a fuss out of a molehill?"

What County Lieutenant Zhao could say was that he could only respectfully send the person out of the yamen and praise him as a good citizen of Daye Dynasty.

"Lord County Lieutenant, what should we do about this matter?" After Ban Heng left, he looked at Zhao Dongan thinking that the government official was in trouble, "Should we investigate or not?"

"Prince Jingting came to report the case in person. Do you want to investigate?" Zhao Dongan sighed, "Not only do we need to investigate, but we also need to investigate with great fanfare. But we can't investigate it as a murder case, but to improve the capital. Public security needs to be strengthened in the name of patrolling."

Although the governor didn't understand why he did this, he still followed the county captain's wishes.

Zhao Dongan scratched his gray hair in annoyance, feeling that after tonight, there would be a few more white hairs on his head.

"Sister, I have already taken care of the matter," Ban Heng happily ran to Banhua's yard. After drinking two cups of tea, he said with satisfaction, "That county lieutenant praised me like a flower. Wow, I blushed when I heard it, and I don’t know how he boasted about it."

"Don't worry, after you are no longer the heir, no one will go against their conscience to praise you." Banhua sat on the toffee chair without moving, extending her hand for the maid to dye her nails, "Now there are still people who are willing to praise you. , just enjoy it."

"You are my good sister." Ban Heng came close to Ban Hua, stared at Ban Hua's hands for a long time, and suddenly said: "Sister, I find your hands are quite beautiful."

"Well, I think so too. Congratulations on living with me for fifteen years and finally discovering this fact." Banhua raised his chin, "There are some banknotes in the book box over there. Take it and spend it."

"Sister, I know that you are the best to me in the whole house," Ban Heng happily found the banknote and stuffed it into his arms, "How did you know that I was short of money?"

"Since when are you not short of money?" Ban Hua raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, "But you can use this money to fight **** and crickets. You can't step into a place you shouldn't go. If you dare to do it, you can go there. If you don't need your parents to discipline you, I will beat you first."

Ban Heng remembered that his sister had learned boxing and kung fu from his grandfather, and he immediately swore that he would never go to the land of fireworks and willows, nor to the casino.

My grandfather once served as a general during his lifetime and led the generals to the battlefield to kill the enemy. The late emperor once praised his grandfather as "the first military general in the court". Unfortunately, my grandfather injured his arm on the battlefield and never went there again. frontier.

It is said that when his grandfather was alive, he liked his sister very much. He protected her like a treasure since she was a child. Gold, silver and jewelry were given to his sister as if they were free of charge, so his sister became like this.

One day at the end of September, Ban Huai went out early in the morning and did not return home until before the curfew. The other three people in the family saw that there was still dirt on his clothes and a mysterious look on his face. They were all a little curious about him. What did you do?

"I buried two pots of silver in our villa," Ban Huai whispered. "Even the servants don't know that I buried something today."

Yin couldn't help but said: "What's the use of being buried in another village? When the new emperor raids the house, will we still be able to enter the other village?"

Ban Huai was stunned when he heard this. He only thought that the Hou Mansion would be searched, but he forgot that after the incident, the village would probably not belong to him. Thinking of this, his whole body shuddered. Today's work was in vain.

But this gave Banhua some inspiration. You can't bury money in other villages, but you can bury it in some sparsely populated forests. Tomorrow she and Ban Heng will take people around to see if there are any that are not easy to find. Wait. After their homes were ransacked, they could still dig out places where money could be used. And there are still a few more places to bury, even if some are discovered, there should always be some that slip through the net.

Early the next morning, the Ban family brothers and sisters left the city with a few guards. Then in the name of exercising his brother's physical strength, Ban Heng was asked to carry two bags of sand up the mountain by himself, and the guards were not allowed to help.

"The boxing skills left by my grandfather cannot be broken by you," Banhua specially wore a riding suit that is easy to move today, and said to the guards behind him, "You go outside and guard."

The guards thought that Xiangjun wanted to teach the prince a boxing technique that was not taught outside the family, so they all retreated to the outside.

Stealing a master would be a serious crime if discovered. They were doing a good job in the Hou Mansion and they didn't want to cause trouble for themselves.

"What are you still doing? Dig quickly!" Banhua took out the small iron catalpa hidden in the bag and knelt on the ground to dig.

"Sister, my hand is about to break," Ban Heng said with a grimace and shook his sore arm. He squatted down and dug in resignedly, making **** sounds from time to time to avoid suspicion from the guards.

The two siblings dug very carefully using their hands and feet, but they didn't know that someone was coming this way.

"What are you doing?"
