After seeing Chen Baoding open the box, he was stunned, and a frightened look appeared on his face.

Liu Shuangli blinked, thinking that this was her future father-in-law, but he showed such a frightened look in front of her, what should she do, what should she do?

She didn't know what was in the box in advance, and when Xu Xing handed the box to her, she just said that she just had to present it to Master Chen, and she didn't have to do anything else.

Although she was curious, she didn't dare to ask more, let alone check. Now that I finally saw it, I couldn't imagine that it was an inconspicuous booklet, but the strange thing was Chen Baoding's reaction, the booklet didn't move, just glanced at it and showed such a frightened look.

Is there anything special about this booklet?

But you can't see it from the outside!

Except for the old dots, the book is so pure that it is only blue-stained paper, not to mention any scary symbols and titles.

But Chen Baoding showed such a look at first sight.

Obviously, there is something insiders in this matter that outsiders don't know.

She is an ignorant outsider in this matter, what should she say to her future father-in-law who knows the inside story?

The problem is that people don't know who she is.

So it's not right to do anything at this time, right?

Therefore, Liu Shuangli turned his mind around, bowed very calmly, and turned back to Yin Xuezheng with an expressionless face to stand behind him.

Chen Baoding looked at the booklet in the box in a daze, and only took out the booklet with trembling hands for a long time, and then opened it tremblingly, but only glanced at it, and closed the booklet suddenly.

The hall was very quiet, except for Liu Shuangli, who had a special identity, and the other subordinates were all sent out.

"Adults know about this pamphlet?"

Yin Xuezheng's tone was leisurely, and his expression was light, as if he was chatting about an innocuous trivial matter.

"Where did you get this booklet from the commander?" Chen Baoding asked with a trembling voice, holding the booklet tightly.

"The subordinates have no intention of getting it. Yin Xuezheng took a sip of tea and said casually, obviously perfunctory.

"What does the commander think of what is recorded in the booklet?"

Chen Baoding's questioning was still uncontrollable trembling and instinctively frightened, but the words he asked had the essence of a direct minister, and he was very tough.

He didn't know where his deceased son got the deletion, but when he saw the booklet in the box just now, and then opened the booklet for a short time, he already understood. The contents of that book were the same as those of his deceased son's study, and not only were the contents identical, but even the handwriting and ink marks of the transcription were identical, apparently by the same person.

That is, from the same source, then as long as you know where Yin Xuezheng got it from, there will be the clearest clue to his son's death.

Because of this, he didn't want to care what Yin Xuezheng thought of him in this matter, and whether he would be punished for his crimes. Long Xingwei came with this booklet at this time, and deliberately let him see it, obviously knowing what his son had done.

With the death of his son, Long Xingwei must have known and even controlled the inside story.

As a father, even if he is derelict in his duties, he can't still cower in front of power after knowing this, otherwise he will be a father in vain.

So, at this time, he just wanted to know how and why his son died.

So, he asked very directly.

"I, I don't have an opinion yet, but it depends on what Lord Chen thinks. Yin Xuezheng replied lightly.

"I ......" Chen Baoding was surprised, although he was less than twice as old as Yin Xuezheng, he had been doing the work of culture, education and etiquette for many years, and everything he said was circled by his predecessors, and he was on the road of Zhou Zhouzheng.

He believes that he is not afraid of shadows, but at this moment, when others force a shot in front of his shadow and distort his shadow, he really doesn't know what to do.

"The commander laughed," Chen Baoding straightened up, and said compulsively and calmly, "This kind of booklet, once the commander can get it, he must know its path, how can he not have an opinion? ”

Yin Xuezheng raised his eyebrows, knowing that Chen Baoding was a direct minister, but he didn't know that he was so straight, and he directly recruited Chen Ergongzi without saying a word, didn't he clearly say that his son had something to do with this important matter, and there was something unclear about it.

Does he Chen Baoding want to live or die for hundreds of people in his own mansion?

Yin Xuezheng smiled, gently put down the teacup in his hand, and said gently, "What does Lord Chen think?"

Chen Baoding frowned tightly, and slowed down for a while before replying: "What can the old man think, but look at the court and do it according to the law." ”

This is another stunned and threw the question back, Yin Xuezheng raised his eyebrows, what is done according to the law? The imperial court Dali Temple is also okay, and he talks to Long Xingwei about the Fa, isn't that a joke?

You know, you can make jokes, but you can't make them bigger.

Yin Xuezheng smiled gloomily: "Lord Chen is too worried, the imperial court, I don't know about this yet." ”

Chen Baoding was stunned for a moment, stared at Yin Xuezheng and said, "What do you mean by the commander?"

Yin Xuezheng smiled again: "My lord thinks why did the envoy come to you today with this booklet?"

Chen Baoding was originally very good, but in the past two months, for the death of his son and for the saint's misdeeds, the successive blows have already worn him out to the extreme, and it is only the previous good body that has been carried to the present. At this time, in the face of this head of Long Xingwei, who was able to take over Long Xingwei strongly when he was the first emperor, and until the queen mother is in power today, he still has no tendency to decrease, he can't hold it anymore, and he doesn't want to grind anymore.

So Chen Baoding glanced at Liu Shuangli, who was standing behind Yin Xuezheng, and said bluntly: "Of course, it's because the commander knows that my son also has the same copy." ”

Yin Xuezheng smiled with a slight smile: "I knew that the second son also had a copy, but I didn't come here today for this reason. ”

At this time, Chen Baoding also smiled: "So it's to test whether the old man knows about this matter, and how does he think about it?"

The interior of the candlestick was already dark, and because of the light rain outside, the sky was full of clouds, and the sky was unknown, and the light shining into the hall was even more gloomy and unclear.

Chen Baoding's eyes were cold and cold, and he was forced to sit up straight.

It is impossible for him not to be afraid of Yin Xuezheng, when he wanted to be the emperor, how many high-ranking officials and how many marquis were all in prison after falling into the hands of this person.

How many hundred years of scholars were destroyed overnight.

Who can not be afraid of such a person?

Only Chen Baoding is a direct minister, and the mission of the direct minister is destined to move forward bravely without fear of power. What's more, this matter also involved his dead son, and as a father, he can't have any fear.

Looking at Chen Baoding with an upright face, Yin Xuezheng smiled with crooked eyebrows, nodded slightly after a while, and waved his hand back.

Liu Shuangli, who was standing behind him, immediately bowed his head when he saw this, stepped forward again and walked to Chen Baoding's seat, and respectfully held an object.

Chen Baoding was stunned for a moment and looked at the item in front of him.

It's still a small box, only slightly smaller than the one just now, and the workmanship is not as delicate as the one just now.

It's a small, ordinary-looking box with nothing special. Chen Baoding was wondering to himself, but when he saw the box that was gently opened, there was a hairpin lying quietly in the box, a white magnolia hairpin with exquisite workmanship.

The extreme exquisiteness of the hairpin forms an extremely strong contrast with the ordinariness of the box it contains.

Chen Baoding couldn't understand, he really didn't understand.

The hairpin is so precious, it looks like it is not something that ordinary people can have, what does this have to do with his dead second son? You know, because of his bad temperament, his family is not happy, and he has nothing to do, and he can get the silver he spends every month, and even his own food and clothing are not a problem, how can he have spare money to get such a high-quality gold and silver bracelet.

He knows that his second son wants to play with women and doesn't have the money to play.

Seeing that Chen Baoding was speechless, Yin Xuezheng squinted and smiled: "Adults may wish to take the hairpin and take a closer look." ”

Chen Baoding glanced at Yin Xuezheng, tightened his eyebrows, and although his heart was very weird, he still obediently took the orchid hairpin in the box and looked at it.

This is a white and delicate white jade with mutton fat and moistening, the jade quality is excellent, and the carving is exquisite and complicated, and I don't know who it came from?

Turning around in his hand, he finally saw a line of small characters on a white jade leaf bent in the hairpin, the handwriting was extremely small, and it was hidden in the leaf.

On the white jade leaves, the small seal font is clearly engraved with six words: Rui Mingqin gave the green lady.

Chen Baoding only felt that his eyes were dark, the heavens and the earth turned over in an instant, and the magnolia flower hairpin almost slipped from his hand.

Rui Ming is the word of his third son, in the capital, he doesn't remember that there are other noble sons who have taken these two words.

This, what's going on?

What about the green lady, who is it? Hearing the name, you know that she is a woman, and if she can get such a hairpin gift, she will never be an ordinary woman.

However, by his third son's side, he had never heard of a famous green woman.

Even if there is, how could this clear man and woman give and receive it privately, how could it be the third son he has always been proud of?

Chen Baoding only felt that his heart was like a knife, and he almost lost another one and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, he knows that there are outsiders around him, or he can't offend outsiders who can't be ignored. He stiffened up again and straightened up.

Looking at this white magnolia hairpin, it can be seen from the jade quality and workmanship that the cost is extremely attentive, and the word is a gift, which is by no means a random gift.

What was the reason for his third son to make such a move?

Could it be that the death of his second son a month ago was not only an isolated reason for him, but also other reasons, including his siblings.

Could it be that without his complete knowledge, their Chen family was involved in some incident behind his back?

Chen Baoding pinched the white hosta tightly, only feeling that his hands were full of sweat and fat, as if he was about to wet his hands.

He subconsciously wanted to smash the precious white hosta in his hand, but when he raised his eyes, he saw this lazy yin qi young man standing in front of him, staring at him with a deep vigilance. He knew that there was nothing he could do at this moment.
