When I woke up, it was already dusk, and Pingling Yu rubbed it on the soft pillow slightly, only to feel that this sleep was indescribably enjoyable.

"First drink a cup of mulberry flower dew to relieve the dryness in your mouth. Ji Rin sat in front of the case, and the ash candle lit in the lamp of the hardwood carved Yueman Qingyou Beauty next to him was the thickness of an arm, and the candle light was brilliant, his eyebrows were deep, and his facial features were very sharp. Hearing the sound of Pingling Yu rubbing the quilt when he got up, he got up and brought a small teacup with a colorful forest tree grape grass insect picture placed on the sky blue glazed tea tray on the side, opened the lid and handed it over.

"When?" Since the two met, Ji Rin has been recuperating from injuries and bedridden, Pingling Yu actually saw him for the first time in the appearance of writing documents, only to feel that the other party carefully looked at the excerpt and raised the pen to annotate There was a touching attraction, and he was stunned for a while, so he lowered his head in confusion and drank a cup of wood dew on Ji Rin's hand, "I also said that I would meet Mrs. Ji Thorn Shihe, but now it is rude." ”

"My father spent the night in Zhuangzi outside the city today and did not come back. Ji Rin saw that he was wearing thin, and it was quite chilly at night when the wind came up, so he took off the wool cloak that Mama Xin found out in the afternoon, but it was made last year, but Ji Rin had a strong body and bones and had never been on the body, and now he wrapped it in Pingling Yu, "Mother took Frost and Han Zheng to eat dinner together, and Frost Fall's mouth was sweet and coaxed her mother to laugh. ”

"It's not good to be late at this time. Pingling Yu smiled when he heard this, and pulled the cloak of silver satin embroidered ink bamboo and stone on his body, "There is a way to cover spring and autumn frost, and this day will be worn like this, and you will not be wrapped into a bear in winter in the future?"

"As long as you don't get sick, that's fine. Seeing that he was in good spirits, Ji Rin smiled and handed over the fold in his hand, "My Ji family has been in Jinju for more than 200 years, but it is not like an iron bucket. Let's take a look at the accident at the Jinju Racecourse that was reported by underground spies, and let's see what you think? What do you want to eat?"

"I'm not hungry, I just pick some light and refreshing side dishes, and I can't eat much when it's late. Pingling Yu took the fold and smiled slightly, lowered his head and knelt down to sit under the lamp to take a closer look.

It turned out that since the beginning of the summer this year, there were horses in the horse farm with the epidemic, convulsions, hooves twitching, foaming at the mouth, the initial guard of the horse farm only thought that he was careless to eat poisonous weeds to cause such a result, so a period of time to change the forage is just that, only who knows that since June, several horse farms have appeared in succession with the same disease.

Just because the horse farms are far apart, and there are a total of twelve horse farms in Jinzhou, only four of which are completely controlled by the Ji family, and five of the remaining eight are taken care of by the local wealthy Xiahou clan in order to avoid suspicion.

When Ji Rin received the report in July, it was also because the same disease also appeared in the horse farm directly under the Ji family, and it was menacing and uncontrollable, and a large number of horses died of illness in just a few days.

Ji Can received a report to his henchmen to investigate, but it happened that Ji Rin was attacked and disappeared, and the missing Taean City was only seven or eight days away from Jinju Kuaima, although the horse farm was important, it could not be compared to Ji Rin, Ji Can sent a large team of men and horses to search for the traces of the eldest son, so the horse farm was short of manpower and put it on hold for a few days.

When Ji Rin's news came, Ji Can withdrew his manpower and found that the epidemic in the horse farm had been controlled, and the horses that had died of illness had been burned in a centralized manner, which seemed to be calm, but then Qin Cha went north to Jinju.

Then there is Ji Can's team of men and horses inexplicably disappeared in Dingbei Town, which is the Jinzhou horse farm is the closest to the Northern Wei Dynasty, because the climate is cold in winter and hot in summer is the closest to the climate of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the horses seized from the battlefield of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the high-quality horses sent to the Northern Wei Dynasty were first bred in this horse farm, and then transported to other places - it can be said to be the most important one in the entire Jinzhou horse farm!

However, the spies sent to this place lost the news, Ji Can secretly sent two more people only to find out that there were many suspicious points here, Ji Can originally planned to go by himself, but he didn't expect the Qin Messenger to come very quickly, he was inseparable from it at all, the horse farm is very important and can not be handed over to others, and so on to send away the Qin Cha is the saint's birthday is coming, coinciding with the year of this year's big plan, the official entered Beijing to report on his work, he had no way but to take his wife, children and mother to Chang'an, leaving his henchmen in Jinzhou.

"I see that what is described in this excerpt is simply too much of a coincidence. Pingling Yuzai took a closer look, and couldn't help frowning, "Look, the first horse farm where the disease occurred was in Datong, and I remember that you mentioned it before that it was Mrs. Shen and her husband's family Xiahou Jun Cao's hometown before leaving. ”

"Yes, since the second uncle saved his aunt in the Datong Buddha Cave Cliff eighteen years ago, the Ji family and the Xiahou family have completely torn their faces, at that time, in order to stabilize the border pass, the two sides had to shake hands and take a step back, and the Ji family has also ceded a horse farm to the Xiahou family since then, and at the same time gave up the control of the horse farm under his name, leaving only a few eyes and ears, not to be a blind man with open eyes. Ji Rin's face turned cold.

"Look at the horse farm where the illness began in June. They are the raccoon stone horse farm, Tongguan horse farm, and Xin'an Road horse farm, all of which are not under the control of the Xiahou family and the Ji family. Pingling Yu felt a little thirsty, "The Ji family horse farm should have a special person to serve and do a very good job in cleaning, so no horses were infected with the epidemic, but it was the Xiahou family's Datong horse farm that first fell ill before, either they learned from the Ji family horse farm after the incident to do a comprehensive cleaning and prevention of their own horse farm, or they have found a way to treat it. ”

"At this time, I ate tea every night, but I was afraid that I would not be able to sleep at night, and I drank some white water to quench my thirst. Ji Rin saw that his eyes glanced at the ink-colored vermilion pattern teapot and knew that his mouth was dry, so he got up and went to the outside room to bring a soup teapot with a pure gold relief stepping on the snow to find a plum map, and poured him a cup of white water, "If the Xiahou family really found a prescription for the treatment of horse plague in June, it should really be punished!"

"The third thing that I think is strange is that there is a large-scale epidemic outbreak in the horse farm, and no one in Jinju Racecourse was spared, and when Lord Ji wanted to investigate in person, it was Yuan Zhao You encountered an accident, and you were ambushed by Fan Zao and fell into the water without a trace. Pingling Yu took the teacup from his hand and drank most of it before he continued, "There are two doubts here, one is that the place where you were ambushed is not far from Jinzhou, if it is far away, the imperial court reacts better than Lord Ji, he will definitely go to the horse farm to investigate, if it is close, it is not easy to sweep the tail, and there will always be clues to teach people to find out that something is wrong." ”

"I also found it strange that I was carrying all the robes of the old years, and I was the only one who escaped, and they were all killed on the spot. Speaking of escaping death a few months ago, Ji Rin's eyes darkened, and his tone was heavy, "Only when I stopped by to visit relatives, no outsiders would know, and later, although I went on the road with my aunt and uncle Ah Xu, I didn't make a clear banner." ”

"Today's banquet I Guan Zhuoyu (Chen Xu's words) is worried, isn't there a change in the Chen family?" Pingling Yu trusted Chen Xu and Chen Xun's brothers, but he was always wary of his disciple's father, and at this time he was afraid that he would think of people particularly badly, but now he also knew that the Ji family was in turmoil, and he really didn't dare to take it lightly.

"I'll ask my cousin another day. Ji Rin almost instantly understood the unfinished words in Pingling's mouth.

As for this fourth suspicion, the Imperial Committee really does not want to speculate. Pingling Yu sighed, "Who was the first to inform the saint of the accident at the Jinju Racecourse that day? Qincha wanted to go to Tai'an City to find the traces of Yuanzhao, why did he go to Jinju Racecourse? And on the day he arrived in Jinzhou, he was deeply trapped in Dingbei Racecourse, and when the adults wanted to go to investigate, then Qincha left, and the adults entered Chang'an to report on their work, and the racecourse was in turmoil. ”

"Qingzhou is suspected of being a villain in Beijing?" Ji Rin's eyes burned.

"At this time, the key is in Xiahou's family, and I don't know if he has a connection with the people in Chang'an, and whether it is related to the variables of the Chen family?" ”

Said lightly. Ji Rin saw that his face was not good, and hurriedly reached out to hold the other party's hand.

"This year's big plan, the adult's heart is entangled, and the saint's birthday, the previous year's plan is from the end of October, this year to August, less than a few months to prepare for the inevitable affairs are complicated and difficult to take care of, so this secret person picked this year. Pingling Yu calmed down and said, "It coincides with His Majesty's seventh birthday, the government and the opposition are calm, but the incident happened at this time, which caught people off guard, and the other party was worried that the other party would put the Ji family to death." ”

"The Ji family has been stationed in the north of the country for generations, and the disciples in the clan have suffered countless casualties, and there are no two or three out of ten. Hearing the astonishing words from Pingling Yukou, Ji Rin's face was very calm, "And there is a branch of the clan that stays in the capital as a hostage, and there is no intention of high power, and there is no intention of disobedience before." ”

"The life of the saint Qiqi, there are only two princes under his knees, and in recent years, there must be a dispute between the court and the court to set up a prince to settle the country. "Pingling Yu spoke quickly, "Mrs. Liang and Empress Yuwen have always had a friendship, and the death of the prince is also Mrs. Gaoyi, this is Mrs. Gaoyi, but in the eyes of the world, it is tantamount to treating the Ji family as with Empress Yuwen, and now the queen has the prince under her knees, and the concubine has the prince Ze under her knees. The queen is orthodox, but the prince is from a humble background, and his biological mother is an ordinary palace person; the biological mother of the prince Ze is even better, and the virtuous concubine is loved by the saint, and the two are incompatible. ”

"Light boat. Ji Rin's heart shook.

"Queen Yuwen's arms are one for the Yuwen family, and the other is recognized by the world as the Ji family, and the two are married to the family, in recent years, the royal family does not cultivate benevolence, the family of nine surnames and the saints rule the world together, and many of the virtuous concubines are the children of the poor family, if he wants to reduce the queen's arms, only start with the Ji family!" Pingling Yu said this, his mind suddenly brightened, he stood up violently, and said sharply, "If this is the case, the assassin is in danger! If the assassin dies unexpectedly at this time, the Ji family has no leader in a group of dragons, and the horse farm incident is held accountable, and the Ji family will have no power to fight back!"

"Smack!" Before Ji Rin could speak, he heard the sound of things falling to the ground outside the study.

"Who?" Ji Rin shouted, drew his sword violently, opened the door, and slashed it away! I saw that the soup bowls and pans outside were spilled on the ground, Yingke collapsed to the ground, and the sword cut off half of her green silk, and stopped steadily!
