"I heard that Your Majesty intends to hand over this transaction with the Great Ji Kingdom to the Fifth and Sixth Princes. Qin Shizi asked.

"Your Majesty is willing to leave this matter to His Highness, but which Highness will it be handed over...... His Majesty did not make a decision. Lord Lu sighed, "Speaking of which, the Fifth Highness and the Sixth Highness are both dragons and phoenixes among people, and they are all very safe in doing things." However, His Royal Highness has been in the east for five years, and he knows a little more about the people and the environment of Daji Country, since it is a transaction, it is naturally more appropriate to choose someone who knows himself and his opponent to be responsible, what do the two adults think?"

Qin Shizi and Wei Qi glanced at each other, and understood the intention of this Lord Lu to invite them here to negotiate.

Wei Qi smiled gently, "Lord Lu is reasonable, but it is still up to Your Majesty to decide which Highness will be selected to preside over this matter." ”

Lord Lu sighed, "Your Majesty really loves the two princes, and he must be embarrassed about who to hand over the errand." Yesterday, His Majesty summoned the two Highnesses into the palace and said some words of encouragement, as if he wanted to see who of the two Highnesses could solve the matter of the concubines first, and would hand over this errand to whomever he would do. After all, the death of this concubine also affects the contacts between our Great Zhou and the Great Ji Kingdom, and is a prerequisite for the smooth progress of the transaction between the two countries. ”

"I see. Wei Qi nodded.

"I know that both the Wei family and the Qin family are only loyal to Your Majesty, and I am not asking the two families to favor any of His Highnesses. It's just that although this is a fair contest between the two highnesses, the cooperation of our ministers is still indispensable in this process, and this is also the duty of our courtiers. ”

Qin Shizi muttered: "I don't know how Lord Lu needs us to cooperate? As long as it is a matter within the bounds, Qin does not dare to refuse." ”

Lord Lu smiled: "With Lord Qin's words, I am relieved." I heard that Lord Qin has an important witness in his hands, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

As soon as Lord Lu said this, Qin Shizi couldn't help but be stunned, and began to wonder if he was the person who had installed the Five Princes around him.

He Linwan, who was eavesdropping outside, frowned.

"I don't know where Lord Lu got this news?" Qin Shizi asked with a deep groan.

Lord Lu stroked his beard and smiled, "Lord Lu has his own source, Lord Qin only needs to answer yes or no." ”

Qin Shizi sighed: "I do have a person in my hand, but it is not accurate to say that it is a human witness. ”

"Oh? Lord Lu looked deaf.

Qin Shizi said: "The reason why I didn't make a noise is also because of this. This person is not directly related to the concubine case, but this person is somewhat involved with Li Yu, the son of the king of Hengyang, so I plan to use this person to capture King Kangjun. ”

"Is it the one from the prince?" Lord Lu thought for a moment, "I wonder if I can hand this person over to my people for interrogation?"

Qin Shizi shook his head apologetically, "I'm sorry, Lord Lu." This person is not a human criminal, and he is of great use to me, so it is inconvenient to reveal his identity for the time being. ”

"Inconvenient to reveal your identity?"

"Don't hide it from Lord Lu, this person and I have just established a cooperative relationship, and there is no such thing as trusting each other. King Kangjun is the name he handed over to me!, so I ask Lord Lu to forgive me. Qin Shizi nodded.

"So ......" Lord Lu frowned, as if he was a little worried about how to explain to his superiors after he went back.

"However...... Qin Shizi's words changed, and he said, "Qin and His Royal Highness both have the same purpose, so if there is progress in the matter, Qin will inform Lord Lu." ”

Lord Lu's heart moved, and he asked tentatively, "Lord Qin is so sure?"

Qin Shizi smiled slightly, and said firmly: "Because Li Yu will not doubt the identity of this person, he will definitely be able to catch him off guard." ”

Lord Lu couldn't help but sigh: "Lord Qin's success in this matter must be a great achievement! No wonder Your Majesty has so much trust in the old uncle and the prince, Lord Qin really has something extraordinary!"

"Lord Lu praised it falsely, it's just a matter of loyalty. ”

Then the three of them talked about the affairs of the court, although Wei Qi was the master, he listened more and said less, because the court had the intention of reusing his father Wei Shouzhi, his official position in the court was not high, but because he had a good personal relationship with Lord Lu and Lord Qin, he would become the intermediary of this conversation.

Lord Lu had the intention of wooing the Wei family and the Qin family for the five princes, but both Qin Shizi and Wei Qi were sleek people, so what He Lin listened to them talk about later was irrelevant.

Seeing that the time was not early, a little servant came to report to Wei Qi and said that Lord Wei had invited him to the front hall. He Linwan came down from the upper floor when he saw the figure of the little guy and hid behind the rockery.

He Linwan planned to wait for the three of them to leave before leaving, but after coming out, Qin Shizi said that he still wanted to look around in this garden and let Wei Qi and Lord Lu go first.

However, Qin Shizi recognized that the rugged rockery next to him was a good Taihu Lake stone, and he was interested for a while, and stood in front of the rockery and looked at it for a long time, which made He Linwan who was hiding behind the rockery bitter.

Just when Qin Shizi was about to leave after admiring the rockery, a magpie flew out of the rockery that didn't know when to get in, He Linwan was startled and subconsciously moved his feet, although her movements were extremely light, Qin Shizi, who had not gone far, still noticed a trace of movement, he suddenly stopped and looked around vigilantly.

"Who's coming out!"

He Linwan secretly screamed badly, and smiled wryly thinking that he didn't know why he would be found every time he eavesdropped, the last time he met Li Yu, he didn't know if he was so lucky this time.

Listening to the sound of Qin Shizi's footsteps walking slowly towards this side, He Linwan hurriedly looked around, wondering whether it was better to take the risk and escape or stand up directly. But if she stood up directly, she was afraid that Qin Shizi would guess that she had just overheard their conversation.

Just when He Linwan was about to gamble and stood out directly and said that he was here to visit the garden, a woman's voice sounded.

"I, I'm here to walk around the garden. ”

He Linwan was stunned when she heard this voice, because she recognized it as He Lan's voice.

However, what made He Linwan breathe a sigh of relief was that Qin Shizi was diverted.

"This girl came to visit the garden by herself, and she didn't even have a maid by her side?" Qin Shizi's tone was obviously suspicious, so he was a little cold.

"I ......"

"I advise you not to lie in front of the officials of Dali Temple. Qin Shizi snorted coldly.

"I, can't I just come to the garden by myself? this is not your garden!" The clay figure was still angry, and He Lan, who had always been gentle and gentle, couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he was questioned by a strange man.
