Chapter 272: Qiao Mo's Secret
Qiao Zhao's hand holding the chopsticks tightened, and his knuckles turned faintly white. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Shao Mingyuan stood up and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”
"I don't know exactly what happened. Guarding outside the palace gate, he saw that Qiao Gongzi was escorted out by the Jinlu Guard, and then stepped forward to investigate, but those people didn't say anything. ”
Shao Mingyuan nodded, signaling that he understood.
Qiao Zhao looked at Chi Can: "Didn't Brother Chi say that the emperor summoned Brother Qiao to appease Shi En?" Why—"
Chi Can put down his chopsticks: "It may be that Gongzi Qiao did something to anger the emperor." ”
"It shouldn't." Qiao Zhao denied it, and when he saw Shao Mingyuan and Chi Can both looking over, he explained, "I think Brother Qiao is calm and restrained, and he won't provoke Long Yan because of his recklessness, unless—"
Speaking of this, Qiao Zhao's heart sank.
Unless the eldest brother has something to say that he knows cannot be said, he has to say it to today, and maybe even the eldest brother is waiting for today!
"Shixi, I remember that Yang Er should be on duty in the palace today, right?" Shao Mingyuan's face was quite calm, and he asked in a deep voice.
Yang Houcheng entered Jinwuwei not long ago, and was responsible for the patrol of the palace.
"Oh, yes, it's Yang Er's kid on duty today."
"Go and invite Yang Gongzi to come, be quick." Shao Mingyuan ordered the guards.
"Command."
The guards rushed out, and met Yang Houcheng on the way.
The guards jumped up from the horseback and pounced on Yang Houcheng like a big eagle spreading its wings.
Yang Houcheng was in a hurry to rush to the champion Hou, and was suddenly attacked by a sneak attack and immediately became angry: "Where did the little beast with long eyes come from!" ”
As a result, he was dumbfounded as soon as he fought: the little beast has a lot of kung fu in his hands!
"Young Master Yang, our general is invited!" The guards hurriedly explained clearly, and while Yang Houcheng was stunned, he threw him on the horse's back with a force, and then kicked the horse's ass fiercely.
Jianma neighed and galloped away with Yang Houcheng.
These trained horses all knew the way, and they rushed to the door of the champion Hou's mansion at a gallop, and suddenly made an emergency stop, and Yang Houcheng was directly thrown off.
Yang Houcheng was about to vomit, covered his chest and slowed down, and scolded: "! ”
Is this a human thing? The guard and the horse are not things!
Then, Yang Ergongzi was silent for a while, and finally understood why even if he was holding Shao Mingyuan's thigh and begging, no one would take him to play.
It turned out that he couldn't beat Shao Mingyuan's personal guards!
This realization made Yang Houcheng very frustrated, if he hadn't been in a hurry to see Shao Mingyuan, he would probably have fainted directly at the door of the Champion Hou's Mansion.
As soon as Yang Houcheng entered, Chi Can raised his eyebrows: "So fast? ”
He remembered that the guard had only been gone for a short time.
Yang Houcheng spat out fiercely: "Don't mention it, I was rushing here, and I met Tingquan's personal guard, and the little rabbit cub directly took me-"
Speaking of this, he was shocked that it was too embarrassing, and Yang Ergongzi coughed and said, "Just give me his horse to use." ”
"Chongshan, you are on duty today." Shao Mingyuan asked.
"Yes, I came here to tell you that your uncle caused trouble in the palace today."
"What is the reason exactly?"
"I'm patrolling outside, and I don't know much about the details, but I vaguely heard that Qiao Gongzi seems to have taken out some account books and presented them to the emperor, and the emperor was immediately furious after reading it, saying that he slandered the important ministers of the court and ordered someone to put Qiao Gongzi in prison."
Books?
Qiao Zhao's heart suddenly fell.
Therefore, the fire at home, the eldest brother didn't tell Grandpa Li and Pan at the beginning?
Does this mean that the fire was not accidental, but man-made?
If it was artificial, then the eldest brother must know something, but for some reason he kept this secret until today......
Qiao Zhao had no way to complain about his brother's distrust of her and even Grandpa Li, and his brother didn't say a word about Grandpa Li, which was enough to show that the secret he was hiding must be amazing.
Qiao Zhao looked at Shao Mingyuan.
So, the eldest brother didn't say a word to Shao Mingyuan?
Chi Can asked Qiao Zhao's question: "Tingquan, what account books does your uncle have?" ”
Shao Mingyuan's thick eyebrows tightened: "I don't know." ”
He picked up his uncle from Kou Shangshu's mansion, and the two talked mostly about the past. He couldn't help but ask about his wife's past, and his uncle told him many interesting stories about his wife when she was not out of the cabinet.
He knew that when he was fourteen years old, he quietly followed his uncle to Dafu Temple in order to meet his fiancée, and witnessed the scene of his uncle being sought after by the little ladies, and at that time, in an unknown corner, Qiao Zhao, who was also fourteen years old, was secretly watching all this.
On that day of the year, they actually saw the same scene, and even looked at each other unconsciously. It's just that he doesn't recognize her, and she doesn't recognize him, and they don't meet after all, but a silent miss.
The more the uncle talked, the fuller the image of his wife became in his mind, but he didn't say a word about the fire in Qiao's house, and when he asked, he would easily change the topic.
He didn't ask any more questions, and now he realized that his uncle didn't want to mention more, not because he didn't want to remember because of the pain, but because he had other hidden intentions.
"That uncle of yours really has an idea, and he even hides it from you." Chi Can sneered, "It's okay now, now I don't know what happened to be sent to the prison, and I caught everyone off guard!" ”
Qiao Zhao's face was slightly gloomy: "Maybe there is a reason that must not be revealed." ”
Her brother is a person who is Guangfeng Jiyue, and if he doesn't say it, it means that the secret must be kept to the death, and he will not reveal a word to Shao Mingyuan or the Outer Ancestor family.
Qiao Zhao didn't think that Qiao Mo had done anything wrong.
Even if he didn't say anything, everyone felt that the eldest son of the Qiao family had become a waste, and he couldn't threaten anyone, and his brother almost lost his life in his grandfather's house, if it was revealed that he had any account books in his hand, I am afraid that he would not even be able to reach the capital.
Maybe the brother was wrong, only the emperor's reaction.
Sure enough, I heard Chi Can say: "You don't know, what my emperor's uncle hates the most is that the court is unstable and delays his immortal avenue." The account book that Qiao Mo presented to him must be evidence of accusations against a certain important minister in the court, maybe because of this account book, there will be great turmoil in the court. ”
Speaking of this, Chi Can touched his nose and said in a strange tone: "My emperor's uncle thinks it's all fine now, he hates to mess around." ”
Everyone: "......" such an emperor, come and kill a chaotic minister and thief.
"Forget it, I'll inquire." Ji Can said with a frown.
It's a big loss to be friends with Shao Mingyuan, and he has to wipe his uncle's buttocks, and he must get it back with interest in the future.
Ji Can subconsciously glanced at Qiao Zhao.
Well, ask Shao Mingyuan for more silver, so that he can marry a daughter-in-law.
