Because of Lan Xue's death, Zhao Mo noticed that his relationship with his younger brother Zhao Qi seemed to have changed, and his mood became not very good.

On the trip to the temple fair on the fifth day of the junior high school, he originally thought about bringing Zhao Qi with him and letting his little brother scatter his heart, but now that Zhao Qi is sick and the weather is cold, he dispelled this idea. After returning from Yongjiahou's Mansion, he didn't go to meet Zhao Qi, but only called the waiting girl outside Zhao Qi's courtyard to ask, knowing that Zhao Qi had already taken medicine and the fever had subsided, it seemed that the situation had improved, and he might not need to ask a doctor, so he turned around and left, and did not enter the courtyard.

He didn't know that as soon as he left with his front foot, Zhao Qi got the news with his back foot, so he sat on the bed in a bit of despair, staring at the direction of the courtyard gate through the window. The girls came into the house and saw it, and hurriedly said, "Third master, go to sleep, beware of catching a cold." The prince of the county is gone. A girl who gets along with Zhao Qi best on weekdays also whispered: "The third master was like that yesterday, it is indeed a little hurtful. If you feel that you can't go in your heart, why don't you make amends when the prince of the county comes?

Zhao Qi pursed his lips, fell back asleep with the support of the girls, and muttered: "You don't understand ......" As he spoke, his eyes gradually turned red, and there was a little panic in his eyes, "How can I have a grudge against my brother......"

The girls didn't understand and wanted to ask carefully, but Zhao Qi had already closed his eyes, as if he was asleep again, so they had to be silent, leaving one person to wait by the bedside, and the others went to work separately.

Zhao Shuo instructed Zhao Mo to get Lan Xue's corpse and then take care of the aftermath. In fact, this matter is not in a hurry, and it doesn't hurt to delay it for a few days for the New Year, otherwise it will be too unlucky. But Zhao Shuo didn't know what kind of madness he had, so he sent three groups of people to urge him, Zhao Mo had no choice but to go to the Imperial City Secret Spy Division, and he still went there early in the morning when there were few people on the road. When I arrived at the place, the guards at the gate of the secret spy department were still yawning, and everyone was sleepy after a night of duty.

Yuan Tongzhi was on duty in the secret spy department last night, and when he saw Zhao Mo, he was a little surprised: "Why is the prince of the county here?" When we sent a letter to Ling Zun here, we also said that it would be delivered to his house. Ling Zun repeatedly prevaricated, saying that he would send someone to deal with it, but he didn't expect to send the prince of the county. This New Year's ......" He paused, remembering the rumored Zhao Shuo's meanness to his eldest son, and Zhao Mo's "foolishness" to his unconscionable father, and did not continue.

Zhao Mo smiled, didn't say anything, only asked: "Why did the person die suddenly?"

Yuan Tongzhi shook his head mockingly: "I am afraid that there are not as many people as her accomplices who know things, but it seems that she has always felt that her identity is extraordinary, and it is very important, without her, everyone's plans in Dazhao will fail." Her leader is not only fooling us, but also fooling her. She died of illness, she was already sick, and she was injured, and she did not recover, and since she said a few ridiculous words during our interrogation, she became angry and sick, and since then she has become more sick and sicker, and as soon as the weather is cold, she ......."

Zhao Mo understood, and said disapprerovingly: "She has always been a hollow-eyed person with big ambitions, but not all the people she meets are straw bales." ”

Yuan Tongzhi thought to himself, as long as one of them is a straw bale, it is enough, how many people will be troubled by this Lan Xue just by fooling Zhao Shuo? Not to mention the rumored seventh aunt and grandmother of the Wang family who was drugged and unable to have children, it is Zhao Mo, the king of Suning County who is in front of him, hasn't he also suffered losses from Nalan Xue more than once?

Of course, these words can't be mentioned to Zhao Mo in person, that would be too slap in the face. Yuan Tongzhi turned his words back to the right point, and asked people to come over with a pottery jar the size of a person's head: "It's all here." Fearing that she had hidden something on her body, we would report it to our accomplices when she was buried after her death, so we burned her bones to ashes, and did not spare even her clothes. At the same time, there was also a small baggage, which was the accessories on Lan Xue's body other than clothes when she was sent in, that is, a pair of gold earrings, two gilt hairpins for home-style hair, and an inconspicuous chiseled gold bracelet. Yuan Tongzhi and others had already checked it again and again, and there was no organ on the top of the thing, and there was no entrainment of the thing, so it was returned to the family.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhao Mo, these pieces of jewelry might have been detained by the people of the Secret Spy Division.

Zhao Mo didn't take these pieces of jewelry to heart, he just felt that he could take them to Zhao Qi for thought, counted his things, and signed the document handed over by Yuan Tongzhi to confirm, and he could leave. Before leaving, he asked Yuan Tongzhi again: "Can you find out who that noble person is?

Yuan Tongzhi sighed: "The prisoner is still on trial, and there is no news of the escaping secret agent." Now that the New Year is coming, it is not an important official business, and it is not easy to detain everyone from working, and it may be necessary to wait until the New Year to open before any progress can be made. However, those Beirong people said that the noble man seemed to be very powerful, and the prince of the county might be able to take advantage of the New Year to pay attention to the movements of the princes' mansions, princes' mansions, and the high-ranking officials of the six ministries, and see which family was acting suspiciously. ”

What's the difference between this and looking for a needle in a haystack? But Zhao Mo has always been paying attention to similar news, so he still agreed.

He took Lan Xue's ashes altar and relics to his father, who knew that Zhao Shuo had already sent Zhen Zhong to stop at the door, saying that things were ominous, and it was better not to let them enter the door for the New Year, and let Zhao Mo finish Lan Xue's funeral affairs first, and then come back to his life.

The street outside Zhao Shuo's house was full of people, and some people recognized who Zhao Mo was, and they were looking at the scene of the king of Suning being stopped by his father and not allowed to enter the house, and whispered in private. Zhao Mo was already laughing angrily, thinking that Zhao Shuo was probably dizzy, otherwise how could he do such a controversial thing when he was covered with pigtails?

He turned around and got on his horse, and ordered his followers to take Lan Xue's columbarium and go straight out of the city. Yesterday, he instructed the people below to help find a suitable burial place near his Zhuangzi, there is no need for any good feng shui, as long as it is a barren mountain and wilderness, don't hinder others, it is best to be a slightly more convenient place to reach, so as to save Zhao Qiri from walking inconvenience when worshipping later. Of course, just in case, he also instructed to find a place with special terrain, preferably where others can easily find out if outsiders are approaching, and then after being outflanked, the people inside can not easily escape, which is to prevent the people of Beirong from finding it, and they can find it in time.

There was no ritual in the burial, but a pit was dug casually, a wooden sign was erected, and the name of the deceased was written on it, which was written in the name of Zhao Shuo's concubine, and the name of the filial son Zhao Qi was marked. When it was over, Zhao Mo asked Lan Xue to burn three sticks of incense and a string of paper money, and it was over. When leaving, he also asked people to bring a letter to Zhuangzi, so that the people in the village should pay attention to whether anyone came here to worship, and if so, he tried to leave people behind, and if he couldn't stay, he had to find out the name and origin of the other party.

If you want to reach Lan Xue's burial place, you must pass through Zhao Mo's Zhuangzi, which is the only way, and there are no lively markets or other villages nearby, there are many young and strong people in the village, and it should not be difficult to leave anyone behind. Zhuang Tou immediately sent two people to take turns to go to the intersection leading to the cemetery in the mountains every day to keep an eye on them, ensuring that no one would be missed. Of course, Zhao Mo also instructed them to cover themselves up a little, not to be too obvious, and to startle the snake.

Back in the city, Zhao Mo went home first, freshened up, and took the small bag of jewelry to see Zhao Qi. He told his younger brother bluntly: "This is your aunt's relics, which she took with her when she left her father's house. The others are still with my father, and I can try them, but I may not be able to get them. Keep it for yourself. Your aunt's burial place is not far from the city, and when you are well and the weather is warmer, I will have someone take you to worship. You can recuperate in peace. If you really miss her, let someone get you a tablet and incense case, and incense is made every day. ”

Zhao Qi stared at the small burden in his hand, raised his head to look at Zhao Mo, and stopped talking: "Brother, I ......" He bit his lip and lowered his head again.

Zhao Mo waved his hand, he didn't have the heart to guess what his little brother was thinking, he did everything he could, Lan Xue was looking for death by himself, and he had bad intentions towards Dazhao, and now there was a place to be buried, and he was already magnanimous. No matter whether Zhao Qi complained about him or what he did, he was worthy of his heart and didn't want to be verbose. Lan Xue's matter, Beirong's secret spy matter, was not a topic that could be mentioned casually with children.

Zhao Mo only said: "You rest, I'll go." So he got up and went out.

Zhao Qi watched him leave, looked down at the bag of jewelry, his eyes were red again, and he hatefully threw the small bag on the ground in front of the bed, only complaining about his biological mother in his heart, he didn't give him much sincere care before he died, but he still had to leave so much trouble for his biological son after death. Now the only brother who is willing to care about him is also annoyed with him, telling him what to do in the future?!

The girl entered the door and saw the small bag on the ground, she was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up: "The third master has no strength in his hands? I'll put things away for the third master, right? Although there are few things, they are also the personal objects of the aunt." ”

Zhao Qi turned around, pulled the quilt to cover his head, and only after a while did he say something sullenly: "You put it away, don't let me see it." ”

Zhao Mo changed his clothes and went to his father Zhao Shuo's house to return to his life. He decided to remind his confused father today, the latter's reputation is already very bad, and any more excessive actions will only provoke criticism. However, Zhao Mo plans to be tactful, whether he listens or not, it depends on Zhao Shuo's own meaning. He is now making this kind of "filial piety" move, and he can only praise him outside, but in the eyes of the royal family, such "filial piety" is not suitable for succession, and it is in his arms.

Who knew that before he could say anything to Zhao Shuo, Zhao Shuo surprised him with joy: "Your Aunt Ma is pregnant! You are going to add another brother! It can be seen that God blesses, after all, I will have a successor!"

Zhao Mo looked at Le's crazy father, and was silent for a while before revealing a slightly sarcastic smile.
