It was because everything was too perfect, but Qin Mo always felt that his heart could not be implemented. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Girl, what are you looking for——!"

Xiao Tao followed behind Qin Mo, and found that Qin Mo was a little careless when he walked today, and shopping was not like shopping.

But in front of the small vendors on both sides of Nanning Street, pick and choose.

Xiao Tao has been following for a long time, so she has to ask beside her.

Qin Mo listened to Xiao Tao's question, so she stood up straight, she was walking in front of herself just now, but she left Xiao Tao behind, at this moment, she was waiting for Xiao Tao

Said together

"I don't know what I'm looking for, I just think it's strange, but I can't figure it out?!"

"Scythe, iron pestle, old kitchen knife, whatever you want, if you need iron, you have to come to me——!"

The shouting—

Qin Mo followed the sound and looked at it, and there was a dozen iron not far away.

"Brother, can you strike iron in any shape——!

When Qin Mo approached, he saw the long table made of cloth tables, which were covered with all kinds of fired iron tools, most of which were iron farm tools, as well as some iron pestles and long knives used in daily life.

"Smack. Syllable! When Qin Mo approached, that person didn't notice Qin Mo. Just blindly keep your head down and strike iron.

Qin Mo stood in front of the shop and took a closer look, the iron piece was placed on the anvil, the iron man had a bare back, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a cloth belt was tied to his head.

The iron man heard Qin Mo's words, and at this moment, he raised his head in a hurry, his eyes wide open.

"Girl, do you want to buy iron tools——!

Qin Mo lowered her head and smiled, her eyes swept over the row of iron tools again, there was no meaning in her eyes, she took two steps forward.

"I didn't come up to buy ironware, but I just listened to my eldest brother's words, I can make anything in any shape, then, I have something, I want it, but I don't know if my eldest brother can make it——!"

"What ——!?" The iron-striking man threw the hammered iron into the water, and the hot iron made a series of rapid squeaks in the water, and a puff of white smoke came out of the water.

The iron man asked Qin Mo while taking the black cloth next to him to wipe his sweat.

A swarthy face.

Qin Mo stood there, the iron man asked her but didn't answer, and then smiled meaningfully.

"This thing can't be shown in front of people, the eldest brother doesn't have a pen and paper here, so give me a piece of black charcoal in the furnace, I'll draw it, and the eldest brother will look ——!at it carefully."

Hearing Qin Mo say such a string, but he didn't know what kind of utensils to make, the man who struck the iron turned his face dark, and his expression was sneering, but he didn't drive Qin Mo away after all, and bent down to pick up a piece of the burnt carbon slag on the side and gave it to Qin Mo.

Xiao Tao didn't know what Qin Mo was going to do.

He kept following Qin Mo and looked curiously.

With the carbon in his hand, Qin Mo lifted the layer of black cloth on the table, only to see the yellow wooden board underneath, Qin Mo took the charcoal, lowered his head on the wooden board and concentrated on drawing, drawing the time for a moment, then immediately raised his head, put the remaining carbon in his hand to the side, only to the iron, and said softly, "Okay——! “

The iron striker lowered his head curiously, and Xiao Tao also lowered his head curiously.

Immediately, I saw that the iron man's face changed all of a sudden.

"No, I can't. No way. This thing, we can't build it randomly, the court stipulates that we are just ordinary iron shops, girl, you go elsewhere, let others find a way, I don't dare to do your business——! “

Qin Mo saw his panicked look, but he was self-contained, only standing next to him and smiling, gentle and generous.

"Just now, the eldest brother also said, what do you want, what, why don't you dare at this time——!"

"Oh, girl, it's not that I don't do your business, I told you clearly, this thing, we don't dare, it's all said above, it's illegal to build weapons without permission, I can't afford to lose my life for your business——!"

The eldest brother was only in a hurry, originally thinking that Qin Mo had just given an eviction order, and Qin Mo was bound to leave, but as a result, he had been pestering this matter in front of this shop, this matter is not a trivial matter, it is illegal, is this girl here to make trouble for herself.

I can't complain about this iron-striking thing.

"Big brother, actually, I just want to confirm one thing, in fact, it's not that you can't make this thing, but you don't dare to make it, a blacksmith like you who is so skillful, if you want to make such a small object, it should be very good, maybe a blacksmith of ordinary age can't do it, but for you, this kind of thing can indeed be polished a little bit——!"

"Let's go. I don't know what you're talking about, I don't know what you're talking about, and I haven't seen it——! “

Qin Mo's eyes suddenly darkened, "If you have never seen it, how can the eldest brother know that this thing is not allowed to be made by the imperial court, and even more so that he is a weapon——! “

"What the book says, the painting, you can always see it, but I didn't see it with my own eyes, I said you, you're here to find trouble for me at noon, right, come and smash my shop——!"

Suddenly, the iron striker no longer had patience, and he had already raised his eyebrows at Qin Mo with a crooked neck.

"Big brother, we're not here to get into trouble——! Qin Mo was anxious to explain, but he was already interrupted by another sentence, "Go, go." Since you're not here to make trouble, please leave quickly, and don't stand in my place——! “

The words of the striking iron were full of disgust.

"We ——!" Qin Mo suddenly remembered something, turned his head, and saw the money bag hanging on Xiao Tao's body, his eyes lit up, and then he ripped it off. When I touched it, there was still some weight, but fortunately, I didn't forget to bring this when I went out.

Qin Mo took out two pieces of silver from the money bag.

Then he stepped over and pulled the craftsman's sleeve, "Big brother, this money is not a tribute, we just asked for something, not because we want to get along with the eldest brother——! “

The two big silver pieces of white flowers were pinched in his hand, and the iron striker had a better attitude, and after withdrawing his hand, he took the two silver lumps in his hand and touched them nostalgically.

"Okay, for the sake of your generous shots, you are this thing, you go to ask others, others may not know, in the capital of Yanguo, the skills are exquisite, there are only one or two people who can do this, and the good skills have long been recruited by the government, this is in the capital, only Zhang Tiezi, who lives in the middle of the East Mountain, my master, he has been playing iron for more than 30 years, and even flowers, birds, fish and insects can be made, not to mention this, what others can't do, he can, when he was young, he was also a famous blacksmith, but unfortunately his brother made a mistake, He can't enter the official mansion, now in the capital of Yanguo, almost no one knows about him, but my craft is what he taught, if you really want to do this, just look for him, he makes this thing, Seiko grinds slowly, and can compete with the things that come out of the official mansion——! “

Finally, Qin Mo's eyes lit up, and in the end, he didn't hide the excitement in his eyes, and he didn't wait for the iron to finish

"Big brother, thank you, I know, you are such a good person——!"

Qin Mo got into the carriage and asked the coachman to go all the way to Nadongshan.

Dongshan is in the east of the suburbs of Beijing, so it is called Dongshan, it is a big mountain with an altitude of several hundred meters, the vegetation on the mountain is lush, the mountains are stacked with green, and there is a green sea and bamboo wind in the mountain.

In the middle of the carriage.

Xiao Tao only looked at Qin Mo's face a little pale.

"Girl, you just asked the iron-striker what he was doing with that thing——!

Xiao Tao was curious, and glanced at Qin Mo, who was facing her with half-closed eyes on the side, and the wind outside the carriage fluttered the curtain half-open and half-closed.

"If you don't know, it's useless to tell you——!"

"Since you don't know, let me be funny, girl, you are a woman's family, why do you want that weapon to do it——?!"

Qin Mo glanced at Xiao Tao gloomily.

"I'll just say I won't tell you, you're still curious, I'm going to do something, what's the use of you knowing so much?! Anyway, you are also my confidant, you don't know everything about me for so many years, I'll tell you, that day the prince lost his hand in the drill field and disrespected the emperor, and killed the eighth prince and then was deposed, I have been haunted by this matter, I thought about it hard, I feel that there are a lot of strange things, but after all, I am a national teacher, and I don't need to mix it up if it is not a matter of the imperial court, and it is still the case——! “

Qin Mo lowered his head and retracted the long sleeves on his wrists.

"But the crown prince was innocently deposed, and the situation is indeed pitiful, but I am not the queen's person, even if it is for the sake of the entire Yan Kingdom to help him, so, I want to find some clues from the events of the day, if there is really something, then I will establish a new monarch in the future, I will be the hero, and the prince will be grateful for his words today——!"

As soon as Qin Mo's words fell, Xiao Tao grabbed a voice next to him

"However, I can understand this truth after thinking about it, if there is really someone behind this matter, then it must be Concubine Hui, in addition to them in the palace, the five princes have to be liked by the emperor, isn't this the best candidate for the new monarch, why can't the girl think of this——!"

If only there was such naivety as it was said.

Qin Mo lowered his head and absentmindedly rubbed the gold thread on his cuffs.

"If you talk about dealing with the crown prince, they are the most powerful, but for the sake of the throne, others are not impossible——!

"What does the girl mean ——!"

Qin Mo glanced at her lightly in a blink of an eye, "There are prince's concubines in the palace, who doesn't want their son to be the emperor, and the imperial concubine also has a son, so there are two concubines in the palace whose status is not low——! “

The girl was suspicious. But what's the use of us looking for this ironsmith now——! “

Qin Mo glanced at Xiao Tao with gloomy eyes again.

"Don't ask if you don't know, but you still want to know a lot ——!"

Xiao Tao bowed her head and remained silent.

After a while, Qin Mocai explained in an impatient light tone, "Since then, the point that I feel the most incomprehensible about that day is that arrow, an arrow passes through the resistance in the air, and then shoots out more than twenty meters, blocked by a hard object on the roof, and then rebounds into the hall, how can there be so much force to clamp into a baby's head half an inch." And in doing so, he killed people——! “

Qin Mo's mood was a little irritable, while Xiao Tao looked ignorant next to him, and his fingers touched his face

"I don't understand what the girl said, and I don't know how to shoot arrows, those are all things that the guards do, but I heard the girl say, it seems that there are really suspicious points, since there are doubts, I will check ——!"

Qin Mo impatiently flicked the handkerchief, "You weren't at the scene that day, naturally I didn't know, but I was at the scene, when everyone was panicking, I happened to be calm at the time, I watched the arrow shoot in and was blocked by the lintel, and I was just a little flustered at that time, but I didn't want the eighth prince to die." “

"So what the girl thinks is suspicious——!

Qin Mo looked out of the carriage window

"I think that arrow, with the speed and strength at the time, was blocked, which has greatly weakened the damage of that arrow feather, I always feel that it should not be able to kill people, maybe this is also a woman's intuition, but intuition is one thing, the truth is another, but I still want to try it, what if I really run into it——!"

"If, as the girl said, the arrow was bounced in the back and could not hurt anyone, but the person died, how could the girl explain this——!"

Qin Mo propped up his arms, his fingers propped up on his chin, and made a meditative gesture.

Xiao Tao's eyes widened, and she continued while guessing, "If this arrow can't kill people, then how did this person die, is it——! “

Suddenly, Xiao Tao's expression froze, and then, as if he was excited, his eyes were stunned.

"What does the girl mean——!"

Qin Mo lowered his head and let out a 'shhh', his face always gloomy.

Human life is at stake, and this kind of thing involves the former dynasty and the harem, which is not trivial.

So let this little peach whisper.

Xiao Tao's eyes bulged, and suddenly she was also frightened by her own assumption.

"If the little prince either died in an accident or was deliberately murdered, but then a big arrow was about to be inserted into the prince's forehead, and the nurse was holding the prince, how could she be unconscious. Don't. Don't...! “

Momo's whole body trembled.

Qin Mo lowered her eyes lightly, this girl was originally a smart person, and as soon as she mentioned the beginning, she thought of the end.

Qin Mo nodded without looking at her

"This is also the only thing I thought of when I came back from the palace last time.!"

"If the arrow can't shoot people, how did the eighth prince die, in the chaos, no one has the energy to care about others, at this time, who is the best person to start, of course, is the nurse who holds the eighth prince, everyone panicked at that time, the arrow shot down and happened to shoot on the prince's head, the nurse was helpless, originally the most should protect the prince, no one will suspect this, in the end, the emperor actually did not execute the nurse, but only punished ——!"

"Girl, speaking of which, these are just our current suspicions, maybe, maybe the truth of the truth is that the prince killed someone by mistake——!"

Qin Mo lowered his eyes and said lightly, "I know, so I'm not just asking for verification——! “

"Why did the girl go to such a remote place and drive a carriage to this mountain to find an old blacksmith——!

The carriage was bumping and turning, with green forests on both sides, and it seemed that it was about to reach the mountains.

After saying this, I arrived before I knew it.

"On that day, the biggest point of doubt was on the arrow, if, the arrow shot by the prince did not kill the eighth prince, then where did the arrow in the hand of the nurse come from, the arrow shot by the prince, everyone only wanted to hide at that time, even the palace maid and eunuch were panicked, and they didn't know where the arrow flew, until the eighth prince died, the nurse's scream, and then attracted everyone's attention, the arrow was on the forehead of the eighth prince, and no one paid attention to where the arrow really shot by the prince went, of course, there were so many people in the hall at that time, If this is a careful layout, then there is no way that there is only one nurse in the perpetrator, maybe a scream from the nurse is a short time to divert everyone's attention, and the arrow was finally picked up by someone else——! “

"Girl. What the girl said is so mysterious, I hear that I have a hairy ——! “

"The battle for the throne has always been done in every way, as you said, that Concubine Hui and the imperial concubine are all powerful in the palace, if you want to buy a few palace people in the palace at that time and cooperate with the acting, there is nothing impossible, as long as the emperor is not suspicious——!"

"But wouldn't it be even more terrible for the girl to think of this——!"

Qin Mo glanced at her, "Did you say that about your girl——! “

"If at that time, the arrow was not blocked by the lintel in front of the palace, if Your Majesty was not so good at reaching out, would you shoot Your Majesty straight at that time, then the prince killed the emperor in front of the civil and military officials, it must be a big crime, this emperor's position is not successful, and he will lose his life, if the prince can't kill the emperor, everyone found the arrow in time, and the prince also has the possibility of being abolished, but the arrow went in the wrong direction, killed the eighth prince for no reason, killed the eighth prince, and the crown prince must be abolished, so, that day, The moment the crown prince shot an arrow from a horse to the emperor, he lost completely——! “

"Girl, if you say that, it's really terrible——!"

At this moment, Xiao Tao's whole person became nervous.

Qin Mo's face was calm at the moment, "Of course, all this is just speculation——! “

"If there is really another arrow, then this weapon cannot be made privately, people who must think of this method will inevitably start from outside the palace and create an arrow with the same mark as the waste prince, there are so many people in the East Palace, there are always one or two spies mixed in it, knowing the imprint on the weapon in the prince's mansion, and chiseling the exact same arrow from outside the palace, so, this explains the arrow in the hand of the nurse——"

Xiao Tao suddenly realized: "So the girl came to find this old blacksmith——! “

The carriage had climbed to the middle of the mountain, Qin Mo listened to Xiao Tao's words, and nodded, "I also saw a tongs on the blacksmith's platform just now, the shape is like an arrow, do you know that the arrows in this palace are exceptionally fine and exquisite, and the requirements are high in terms of iron quality, and those who have experience in this area, except for this kind of long-term ironware outside the palace, others may not be able to do it with the truth, and the blacksmith with good skills has long been selected into the official, and it is rare to find one or two more of these left——! “

Xiao Tao smiled very happily, "It's not just that today just made our girl catch up——! “

Qin Mo looked out the window, the dense forest, but his heart was a little disturbed, "That's not necessarily, everything will be known only when we meet——! “

The blacksmith's house was halfway up the hill and was covered in clouds and mist, and it was a simple thatched hut in spite of its beautiful scenery.

There is a green bamboo in front of the thatched house, there is also a plantain behind the house, and there is a pond of water behind the bamboo forest, as soon as you walk in, the air you breathe is clean and moist, and Qin Mo seems to have never breathed such clean air.

In the modern society of the previous life, the air was polluted, and in this life, although I was born in the countryside, I have never seen the scenery so peaceful and charming this time.

Qin Mo approached and saw only an old farmer in a blue cloth robe.

Six feet tall, gray hair, and a beard a few inches long, the man saw Qin Mo coming, his eyes were as bright as copper bells, and he was holding a bundle of firewood in his hand, watching Qin Mo coming, there was vigilance in his eyes.

"Hello uncle, let's look for Zhang Tiezi, we know that your Excellency is his own ——?!"

Qin Mo walked with a pleasant smile on his face.

The old man looked at the smile on Qin Mo's face, the light in his yellowed old eyes flashed, and he continued to hold the bundle of firewood.

snorted coldly, but ignored Qin Mo.

The little peach behind Qin Mo looked at this posture, as if it was not consistent with the situation on the way here, how could this old man be naturally hostile to them.

"What are you looking for Zhang Tiezi——!

The old man's white beard trembled, and he was not happy when he looked at Qin Mo's eyes.

Qin Mo stared for two seconds, she knew that there was something in this.

However, how to dig this so as not to leak traces, it is obvious that the old man was guarded when he first saw that he had just gotten off the carriage.

And when Qin Mo asked Zhang Tiezi, the tone of the old man's answer was even worse.

The old man's nervousness and panic had already been shown in the dark.

And Qin Mo, what he has to do now is to dispel the old man's vigilance and panic, and remove the light, but it must be cut to the point.

Qin Mo and Xiao Tao were wearing silk and satin skirts, and the carriage behind them was also inlaid with gold and silver, and they knew that they were rich and noble

If this old man really has a ghost in his heart, then he is afraid that he should be.

"Your Excellency is Uncle Zhang Tiezi, I'm the young lady of the Beijing Silk Village, and I'm here to bother the old man today——!

The old man, when he heard Qin Mo say that he was from the silk village, the dark clouds on his face had only dispersed a lot, but there was still visible vigilance and suspicion in his eyes.

"I, an old man, have lived in this mountain for several years, and I don't like to be disturbed by others, how can Miss find me——!"

Qin Mo turned his head and pointed to a place, "My horse, I change the horseshoe several times a year, and the craftsmen outside are always not good, how many people have been asked, and someone asked me to come to Uncle Zhang, so I came——! “

As a result, the old man shook his head and sighed, "In that case, please come in and have a cup of tea——! “

"I haven't struck iron for a long time, so, it's all cold pots and cold stoves, you come, it may not be possible, I'll tell you a person, there is a Li Ji iron shop on the south street of Beijing, that's my apprentice, you go to him, my skills, he can simulate a few ——!"

The door creaks open...

The old man let in, and Qin Mo also entered, and there was just such a family halfway up the mountain.

Qin Mo went in, only to see that the stove was indeed cold, and at a glance, there were some iron chains, iron locks, iron tools and the like hanging on the opposite wall, and a wooden board under the wall, on which a complete set of iron-striking tools was placed.

"Although Uncle Zhang said that he has not struck iron all these years, there are still so many things in this house——!"

After Uncle Zhang entered the house, he picked up the firewood, patted his body, and turned around

"Yes, after all, I've been doing it for so many years, and I'm reluctant to ——!"

"I don't know what kind of things Uncle Zhang has been making recently——!

"No——!" The old man suddenly turned his head, glared at the boss, and looked at Qin Mo in surprise. "What's wrong——!"

Qin Mo touched the ash on the stove and patted it, "It's nothing, I just think the stove is very clean—"

The old man raised his hand, he was going to go to the house, but he only stood again, "I wipe that place every day——! “

Qin Mo's eyes only fell to one place, and he said casually, "Naturally, the old man has been fighting iron all his life, and naturally he loves these tools that were once used for his livelihood——! “

Qin Mo didn't listen to what the old man said.

"The girl sits first, I'll pour tea, this place is too narrow, poor and poor, the girl doesn't want to laugh at ——!"

"Where, where! Uncle Zhang's iron-making skills are good, what is more commendable than this——! “

Xiao Tao watched the old man turn around, sat down in front of the broken table near the window, tilted his head, and whispered to Qin Mo, "This place is really simple, and I don't know how to live in it."

——! “

Qin Mo was silent, sat down, and just looked at the earthen wall.

Look at the metal and iron tools on the walls that are polished and shining.

The color of the iron really resembles the iron used for the arrows

"The girl noticed something, is there something wrong with the old man, since the girl wants to ask about the arrow, why didn't she ask directly just now——!"

After staying for half a cup of tea, Qin Mo turned around in a carriage.

On the way back, the light in the carriage was cramped

Xiao Tao stretched out her head and asked Qin Mo.

Just now, he only knocked on the side, Qin Mo didn't mention the arrow at all, Xiao Tao was curious

Qin Mo condensed, but his face was contemplative

"If he really did that, if I had asked directly just now, he would not have been able to answer me, and he would have startled the snake, once he noticed it, he would immediately blow us out, and as soon as we left, he swept up everything that could be used and fled, you didn't see us just go, he was so wary of us, I only saw it for the first time, there must be something wrong with a woman's intuition——!"

"So the girl thinks he really has something to do with it——!"

After a pause, Qin Mo said, "I don't know if it's really related, but I know that he has something to deceive us, I asked him just now, he lied——! “

Xiao Tao looked suspicious, "What does the girl mean?!" “

Qin Mo saw the carriage window at a glance, and straightened his long sleeves, "He said that he didn't use the iron-striking stove recently, he lied, the stove, you can know that it has only been cleaned recently, but you know that it has been used, I only mentioned it just now, he panicked, saying that he would wipe it every day, but how can there be that thin layer of ash when wiping it every day, just this point, he has already said that it is inconsistent.!" “

Moreover, when she looked inside the room, she observed carefully, and although everything was not suspicious on the surface, there were always some traces missing, and some things seemed to have been deliberately smoothed out.

"Then girl. What's next——! “

Qin Mo paused, "I'm going to keep people under close surveillance——! “

"I don't know what he is in a weak heart, I left a silver tael, and said that he should take it after three days of beating the deputy horseshoes, in the meantime, he may not slip away, but I will send people, the sooner the better, before he finds out, ——!"

Xiao Tao smiled in the carriage, "It seems that Miss is already confident-"

Then Qin Mo said lightly, "That's not necessarily, maybe it's all because I'm thinking too much - if this matter is really as I thought, then behind this matter, the person who planned it is too sophisticated, this Zhang Tiezi may also know some inside information, if he is keen enough, if I come here today, maybe it has caused him to wake up, maybe he will have the next abnormal move, but if there is an abnormality, we can arrest the person first——! “

"But girl, if you don't get someone from the government, is this good——!"

Qin Mo glanced at her angrily, "What do you know, now your master and I are also a dignified first-class national teacher, do you have this power?!" “

Then, Xiao Tao tilted her head and thought about it again

"But, girl, this matter is related to the abolished prince, after all, it is a very important matter, do you want to report to the emperor first, or contact even His Royal Highness in private, after all, he is the younger brother of the abolished prince, is a person like you too weak——!"

After a moment, Qin Mo nodded intently, "What you said is that this matter should be known to King Lian, but the emperor will not say anything first, lest the evidence be insufficient in the end, and it will lead to a big disaster!" “

Xiao Tao nodded, "The girl is thoughtful——! “

It was almost dusk, Qin Mo drove to the gate of Lian Wangfu, and after being informed by the housekeeper, he entered the mansion directly.

The weather is getting colder and colder, but even the dwarf pines of the palace are becoming more and more lush.

When Qin Mo came, he was wearing a cashmere cloak with blue water, and inside was a lotus-colored semi-new skirt.

The black and shiny green silk was pulled up, and there were two bright green jade hairpins on the head.

Helian wall in the study, crimson veil, hanging to the ground, plum blossom panes, a stove in the room, today, this man wears regular clothes, a crescent white brocade robe, giving people a sense of clean atmosphere. Standing in front of the desk, holding a book in his hand to read, Qin Mo glanced at Qin Mo when he came in.

"Why are you here today——!"

The handsome side face is like a delicate facial features carved out of heaven, and it is indescribably gentle and handsome.

He said 'you', not the national teacher.

Qin Mo didn't speak, the wind was blowing cold, and the carbon fire in the room was warm after entering the house, so she took off the hat of the cloak on her head first.

Slender white hands, a white jade bracelet on each of the white wrists, a string of silver bell coral bracelets, the small silver coral-inlaid bracelets are extremely delicate, so it is a little small and cute.

When she went out without a veil today, when she looked up, her eyes were as bright as stars, and they fell on him at once, and then his eyes fell on her face.

"It's cold——!"

He dropped the book and put it on the desk covered with yellow satin in the middle of the room, and walked over quickly, with a fragrance of camellia on his body, giving people a sense of cleanliness and comfort, his steps were steady, his movements were fast, and he walked to Qin Mo in a few steps.

He was tall and tall, and as soon as Qin Mo stood in front of him, he was petite as if he was a little girl.

She looked up, her gaze falling on the corner of his slightly hooked lips.

She saw the concern in his eyes, a very natural greeting, and when Qin Mo was about to hang his hand, one hand was suddenly grabbed by him.

A strong warmth spread from her fingers all the way to the bottom of her heart, and finally her whole face turned red as if it had been burned, and suddenly, she was a little flustered.

"Let go ——!" She screamed.

Pull your hand, but he won't let it.

Bring her cold hand to her mouth and puff.

Qin Mo was too shy to raise his head, but his gaze never took off her face like a nail, taking in her slightly shy and reluctant appearance.

"How's it better——!"

He asked, grabbing her other hanging hand and bringing it to her lips to breathe.

Qin Mo felt the warmth on it, but his face was red, red to his neck, and his red head did not dare to raise it.

"Don't be like this, it's not good to be seen——!"

"The next time you go out, ask the maid to prepare a stove in advance, so that your hands won't freeze again——!"

Qin Mo bowed her head and was silent, she knew that what he said was right.

But when did they become so close?

"Uncle Zhu, go get a bowl of milk tea, I want a hot ——!"

After a while, he shouted to the door, Uncle Zhu, this is the housekeeper of the mansion.

Qin Mo withdrew his hand and said angrily, "Where is it so delicate, besides, just pour tea and call your subordinates, why bother Uncle Zhu again——! “

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I'm afraid that others won't do well——! “

Qin Mo lowered his head and said lightly, "It's just a bowl of tea, who doesn't pour it——! “

He pretended not to hear.

While letting Qin Mo sit down in the inner room, which was the hottest in it, he turned around and walked to the desk, and faced over again.

The black and white eyes glanced at Qin Mo for a long time, "Why did you come here today——! “

"By the way, next to you is osmanthus cake, yellow peach crisp, I heard that women like to eat sweet, I specially prepared a ——! for you"

"You know I'm coming today——!"

The man's eyes blinked unnaturally, and he turned to the side, "I didn't know you were coming, but I always had ——! “

Qin Mo's fingers rested on the edge of the jade plate containing the dim sum, and for some reason, his heart was suddenly a little moved.

The dim sum in this palace is naturally exquisite, but now she is not in the mood to eat it.

After a long time, the door creaked open from the outside, and Qin Mo turned his head to see that it was the housekeeper who poured tea and brought it in——!

The housekeeper put down the tea and said politely, "Master Guoshi, please use it——! “

Qin Mo nodded, "Bother the housekeeper——! “

The butler saluted, then looked at Helian Wall again, and then turned to leave.

Qin Mo picked up the cup, and when the lid of the cup was opened, he smelled a milky fragrance, milk, is it the milk tea that modern society says——!

Qin Mo lowered his head and took a sip, such a milky fragrance, in such weather, it was naturally warm.

There is also sugar in it, I have to say, the housekeeper is really caring.

"I came today to talk to you about that incident, a series of events that happened when the crown prince was deposed——!"

After taking a sip, Qin Mo put down the teacup.

And at this moment, Helian Bi had already taken it with one hand, and walked straight over, with a hint of concentration between his eyebrows.

"Why are you so interested in this——!

Qin Mo tilted his head, and there was indeed a playfulness in his expression, "He is your own brother, don't you have any doubts about what happened that day?"

When Helian Bi heard Qin Mo ask this, his face sank first, and he picked up a seat and sat next to Qin Mo, with a plum blossom in the middle.

After thinking for a moment, the man said

"What if you have doubts, what if you don't, that happened until now, so long has passed, I don't have much evidence, although I also tried hard and mobilized my subordinates, but I received little effect, and I am more afraid of my father, who has no ——! in his heart."

Qin Mo raised his head, turned his face sideways, raised his long eyelashes, and asked rhetorically, "In this way, is the prince going to give up——! ”

"Of course not, if you have any opinions, let's hear ——! first" Since he knew that Qin Mo was mentioning this matter, he also knew that Qin Mo was here with something, so it was better to let her say it first.

Qin Mo paused, not looking at Helian Wall, just propping his elbows on the low table.

Eloquent.

"On that day, that kind of thing happened, the crown prince was deposed, the eighth prince died, which is equal to the battle for the throne and vacated two positions, if this plan, then this plan to kill two birds with one stone can be described as quite powerful, then, on that day, the prince horse suddenly became sexual, and then, the prince was originally facing forward the arrow but shot straight to the emperor sitting on the platform, the first suspicion is why the horse was suddenly frightened, this, even the prince doubted it——!"

Qin Mo turned his head, his gaze fell on Helian Bi's face, his eyes were questioning.

But seeing Helian Bi lightly supporting his side forehead with a thoughtful expression, he then said to Qin Mo, "Go on——! ”

"Of course, animals have to be sexual, any situation can be, we can't predict it, but after all, the incidence of this kind of incident is not big after all, it can be seen that this is the horse of the prince's mansion, the horse of the palace, they are all well-trained, in fact, this kind of thing happens, if it is a coincidence, it is too much of a coincidence——!"

Helian Bi raised his hand slightly, with a pensive look, only a cold voice in his mouth, a commanding "continue——! ”

Qin Mo said, "So, this is the first suspicion, why did the horse be shocked for no reason, and then, that arrow, others didn't pay attention to it at the time, but I paid attention, the arrow met resistance halfway and blocked back, crossed from the top, and then flew to the side, in fact, according to common sense, the force has been greatly reduced, and it is impossible to have such a strong damage force, which can be inserted into a baby's head by half an inch, but unfortunately, there was a mess at that time, the death of the prince panicked everyone, Yan Guifei fainted, and no one went to study this intermediate detail, And I thought about it carefully, and I felt that the arrow could not kill the Eighth Prince at that time——! ”

Helian Bi supported his head with his hand, and Qin Mo saw the white jade wrench on his thumb, emitting a soft light.

"What do you mean, the death of the Eighth Prince was not an accident, but a murder, and that arrow was deliberately ——! by someone"

As soon as Qin Mo took another sip of tea, he put down the teacup and turned his head, "I'm afraid that's the case——! ”

Helian Bi for a long time, slowly, word by word, said steadily, "Actually, that day, although I was far away and not in that hall, but I was also a little puzzled by that scene at that time, but for a long time, I focused on the frightened part of the horse, I asked someone to check, what was the vision of the horse that day, no one knew, the horse suddenly became sexual, and the father and queen also looked for the criminal department to investigate, but there was no substantial progress, because I kept thinking that if it was a man-made horse, there was a problem, It is inevitable that during the race or before the race, it will be injured and affected by internal or external injuries, and the greatest possibility is that in advance in the horse's forage moved something to do something, after which I went to the manger to see for myself, that day the horse ate the forage, I went to look through a lot of books, including medical books, but I checked and checked, in the end, still found nothing, I was a little frustrated——! ”

Qin Mo smiled, "Actually, the prince is thoughtful, what I think of, the prince may not have thought about it thoroughly, but he just doesn't want to say it——! ”

Helian Bi suddenly changed the topic lightly

"How are you willing to help my royal brother now——!

Qin Mo smiled, "The queen is still the queen, as long as the queen is still in power for a day, it is possible for the prince to turn over, the matter of the day, there are still most ministers in the court, the prince is virtuous and open-minded, quite popular, I will gamble, in case he really wins, am I considered a hero, in the future, my national teacher will stay in Yanguo, and I will inevitably hug the thigh of His Royal Highness King Shen——! ”

"Hug your thighs?!"

"Oh, it's up to His Royal Highness King Shen to promote more ——!"

Helian Bi couldn't help but shake his head and smile helplessly when he heard this.

Qin Mo said that he would stand up, "Since I said it, I will say it together, if the prince thinks that there is no problem with the forage that the horse ate before, that is, the horse is not injured because of poisoning, or nervous fantasies, then the prince should investigate the external force——! ”

"External force, you said that the damage to the horse outside, it is impossible, all of us were at the scene at the time, so many pairs of eyes staring at the high platform, how could someone secretly do something or something, if someone secretly did something about it, someone would always be aware of it more or less, and it is impossible to be completely unaware of it, but this prince's horse.!"

Qin Mo interrupted, "The prince said that no one noticed, how do you know that no one really noticed, at that time, the position of the prince was in the middle, and on both sides were the four princes and the third prince, maybe someone noticed it, but he didn't say it, the matter of the day, the prince had to ask His Royal Highness King Shen in person, he was the party, what must he know——! ”

"If I don't go, you're going to have to do everything for me——!"

Qin Mo tilted his head and asked, "His Royal Highness King Lian is making fun of me——! ”

Helian Bi picked up the flask on the table and poured himself a drink, "I don't dare to make fun of you, if you are really interested in the inside story of this matter, I will support you——! ”

Qin Mo's expression froze, and he turned his face to look at Helian Bi, his expression instantly became a little serious, "What do you mean by that——! ”

Suddenly, Helian Bi stood up, his wide brocade sleeves brushed the wine on the table, his gaze was straight, and he fell to one place, "If you really want to go so much, I have a Qiaozong to remind you that Liu Nanniang, who was punished to the Huanyi Bureau, was to personally watch the death of the Eighth Emperor that day, and she was originally taken care of by the Eighth Prince's life, and she had already been secretly and closely monitored, I checked for so many days, only to know that she and the mother of the imperial concubine of the dynasty were originally from the same township, and the Liu family remarried, so her ancestral home is not known to many people, And I only found out this dark line not long ago, if this matter is not the emperor's brother's mistake, but artificial, then in the end all the points are gathered here, that is this nurse——! ”

"So you have long suspected-" Qin Mo's face was surprised, his starry eyes widened, and his long eyelashes were curved.

He was faster and more ruthless than she did.

"Since it is framed, there will always be flaws, although my father was angry in the court that time, he did not punish the nurse together, but punished the Huanyi Bureau, but retained this clue, the nurse has been secretly monitored and guarded by my people now, you know, now there are more people who want to harm her, I also specially instructed the chief eunuch there, don't let people die, and the nurse's hometown is Binzhou, this place, it reminds me of an old thing——!"

"Oh." Qin Mo had a curious look on his face, "You said that this nurse is Binzhou, and the ancestral home of the imperial concubine is also Binzhou, so behind this matter is the imperial concubine's secret and meticulous planning——! ”

Helian Bi sat on the chair in the morning, listening to Qin Mo's questioning, his face was solemn, and his fingers were buckled on the table for a while, "I thought it might be the third prince and the fifth prince and a party, after all, their power in the palace should not be underestimated, but. This Binzhou, but it suddenly reminded me of another thing, that is, more than 20 years ago, I remember that the queen mother said, at that time, my grandfather's family was reported by a peasant woman in Binzhou, reporting that my grandfather was doing mischief in the government and the opposition, and he was careless about people's lives, and the peasant woman died later, saying that it was assassinated by the people sent by my grandfather, and the emperor was completely annoyed by the grandfather because he knew about it, so he was completely annoyed by the grandfather and drove to the barren land, but now, he heard Binzhou again. Binzhou.! ”

Helian sighed with worry on the wall.

Qin Mo held his cheeks in his hand, thought carefully about what Helian Bi said just now, and after a moment, he said in a hesitant tone, "According to what you say, in fact, if this matter is really done by the nurse, and the eighth prince is really killed by the nurse, then this nurse is also absolutely abandoned, the prince was killed, and her chance of survival is very small, which shows that she put her life behind before doing this, so even if you secretly control the nurse now, she may not listen to you, so that you can get a word from her mouth, This nurse is remarried, her relatives are not many, the most cherished is the life of her newborn child, if the instigator behind this is the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine threatens her with the lives of her relatives, it is not necessary, but I always feel that this matter will not be so simple——! ”

"If it is threatened, the threatened person is not voluntarily and resists in his heart, and the person behind the instigation must have to pay a lot of money, after this accident, the nurse is the first to run, she is dead, and her relatives around her should be favored, then, it will lead to a lot of doubts in the eyes of others, the queen's power is not small, and the two adult sons under her knees, the person who does this behind the scenes, whether it is the imperial concubine, or others, must not be able to make such a clumsy means to leave obvious clues to the enemy, so, on the contrary, If the nurse has an attitude of treating death as home from the beginning, then there is no need for others to influence it, this thing is done cleanly, and the people behind it don't have to worry that the nurse will spit out the truth, and the people behind it should know what to do, they know that the nurse does this, and they will be duty-bound——! ”

Qin Mo said for a long time, Helian Biyu frowned slightly, "I know what you mean, it means that the nurse was not coerced but did it voluntarily, but this crime of assassinating the prince is heinous, how dare she, and what is the reason for her to endure being cruel to this two-year-old baby boy, the purpose of her doing this is to take revenge on Yan Guifei, or the prince——! ”

Qin Mo also stared, propped his head with his hand and said, "Naturally, it is the prince, don't forget, if it is voluntary to harm the eighth prince, why can't you start it, but wait until this time, since this person has given up his life, he can do it in the palace of the concubine, you know, she is the prince's nurse, she has too many opportunities to start, someone knows the origin of her relationship with the prince, and then knows that she has the intention to take revenge on the prince, and the eighth prince happens to be just unlucky, and has become a tool for someone with a heart to bring down the prince——! ”

"Uh-huh——!" Helian Bi rubbed his smooth chin with his hand, "Then you say, why should she be used to retaliate against the imperial brother, I sent someone to investigate this Liu's mother's family, her family, her parents have passed away, it is said that they died before they grew up, they were raised by their aunt, by the way, it is said that there was a sister in the family when she was a child, but after the accident with her parents, the sister disappeared, and then you can't ask the people around you to find out the information of that sister, their family has never entered the palace, why do they have so much hatred for the imperial brother, I'd rather give up my own life——! ”

Qin Mo propped his head with his hands, and his face was calm, "Then you have to check it yourself, if it's not the prince, check it up, the previous generation, the last three generations, there is always a reason——! ”

Helian Bi nodded and said pertinently, "You're right——! ”

After a pause and silence for a moment, Qin Mo said on his elbow again

"In addition to this, I also went to privately check the source of another arrow, if I am sure that there is a problem with the nurse, then it was another arrow that killed the prince at that time, but it was exactly the same as the one shot by the prince, at that time the hall was in chaos, it was obvious that someone was deliberate, and then the eighth prince died, everyone saw the arrow on the head of the eighth prince, and no one cared about where the arrow shot by the prince went, I guess, there were many people in the hall at that time, and some people took advantage of the shift of everyone's attention, Quietly took away the arrow shot by the prince, and finally, the criminal department confirmed that the arrow that killed the prince was determined to come to the East Palace, and the mark on it was the mark of the East Palace, and the materials of the arrow were also identified by someone, so it was proved that the prince's quiver, one of the three arrows in it was replaced in advance, and there were spies they planted in the East Palace, and they must have stolen the mark on the arrow in the East Palace, and went to the folk to imitate an identical arrow, one less, must be noticed, so they can only go outside to imitate, and it just so happens that this morning, I went back to walk the street, suddenly saw a Li Ji iron shop, an iron hook on his shop platform successfully attracted my attention, the degree of curvature of the hook, reminded me of the barb on the arrow, as a result I stepped forward to inquire, and inquired about a Zhang Tiezi who made iron tools in the middle of the mountain in the suburbs of Beijing, the arrows in the palace are not ordinary people can make, the materials used are not ordinary, and they should be made exactly the same, The weapons in the palace are all made by skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of War, and the craftsmanship of outsiders must not be bad, and although the capital is large, there are not many people who want to find out this kind of craftsmanship, so I paid attention to it, and took Xiao Tao to visit in the middle of the mountain, and I really found some clues, because I was not sure, so, I also sent someone to spy on it, if this is also a clue, even if we find the opening of the case of Prince Cha's abolition——! ”

Qin Mo said this, her mouth was dry, she said to herself, and after speaking, she naturally picked up the teacup and drank water, and then, the afterglow swept to the side with a burning gaze.

Qin Mo turned his head and saw that his gaze was fixed on her face, his face was calm, but there was a slight smile in his eyes, that smile seemed to be joking, as if there was a kind of surprise and surprise.

And Qin Mo turned his head slightly, looking unnaturally by this gaze.

Immediately turned his head from the teacup to cover his embarrassment.

Just now, she accidentally revealed her true form.

actually told him everything she thought, this Helian Bi would probably be surprised, her brain is still easy to use. Moreover, my attitude towards this matter is still too positive. She suddenly had a sense of surprise that she had seen through.

"Time. It's not early. I have said the purpose of my visit, and I have said everything I want to say. I. I went back——! She panicked, provoked by his eyes, put down the teacup in a panic, and got up to leave.

Helian Bi didn't say anything, just called the maid in, and told the maid in a faint tone, "Go and prepare a hand stove——! ”

The maid saluted and went out.

After a moment, the man turned his head and said in a faint tone to Qin Mo

"On the way back, I was afraid that it would snow, and I was afraid that the first snow would wet my clothes, so I called someone to get the cloak to protect against the cold——!" Qin Mo caught a glimpse of the tenderness in his eyes.

"Strike. Cease. That's so delicate——! Qin Mo turned around and waved her hand arrogantly, even she had an indescribable shame.

She's really not used to this kind of care.

Because, I haven't gotten it for a long time.

Helian Bi didn't say anything, but after a while, the maid brought a hand stove and a cloak.

"Since you don't wear a snowproof cloak, you originally wore a cloak to go out, but the road is slippery in the snow, you should be careful when you go back——!"

He knew that she was going out, so he personally stepped forward, picked up a cashmere cloak and hat that Qin Mo was hanging outside, and put it on her head personally.

But she is very small and pretty, very little girl.

Qin Mo didn't refuse his intimate act of bringing a cloak to himself, just now, he stood so close, so close, so close, close as if he could feel his steady heartbeat, close enough to smell the quiet fragrance on his body, close as if he could feel the temperature of his fingers when he touched the edge of his snow hat.

A passion flower hand stove, although not tender enough color, but in the hand, there is a heaviness.

He instructed her to take the hand stove well, and then personally sent her out, and when it was over, he instructed the housekeeper to send Qin Mo outside the door.

Sure enough, it was snowing, and when I went out of the gate, I saw that on the bluestone slabs of the street, little by little, the carriage was wearing a thick cotton jacket, with his hands in his sleeves, his head resting on the wall of the carriage, and his head was about to fall asleep.

It wasn't until Qin Mo's thin footsteps alarmed the coachman that a sudden spirit woke up from a half-dream. When he saw Qin Mo, he smiled flatteringly

"Girl, you're out——!"

Qin Mo had two faint words on his lips, "Go home——! After that, Xiao Tao heard the movement and came out of the carriage and helped Qin Mo into the carriage.

On the third day, someone in Qin Mo's study hurriedly came in.

"Ma'am. The brothers we sent out, listened to the words of the lady, closely monitored the old man, and then deliberately made some movement for the old man to notice, the old man was so frightened that he couldn't do it, and in the afternoon of the second day of the lady's visit, the old man went down the mountain and went to a cloth village, and then, after that, he hurried into a money village, and later learned that he had asked someone to write a letter to deliver the news, no, when the letter was just written, several of our brothers rushed in, and even the person he took to write the letter was also caught by us——! ”

Qin Mo had a slight calmness on his face, "Didn't you alarm the people around you, especially the government——! ”

The person who reported the report looked confident, "Madame, don't worry, our brother's skills are good, and Madame is a national teacher, His Majesty is personally sealed, and there are people from the government on the top, and we are not afraid, the boss who runs the money village is surnamed Wang, he, and his two small servants, a few maids, a lady, two concubines, a daughter and a son, are all tied up by us and put in the inner room, and there will be no leakage of the slightest rumor, only come back and ask Mrs. what to do next, In our spare time, my brother searched the bank, which was not big, but only a few houses and a garden, but it was firmly fenced off by a wall, and people from outside could not easily enter——! ”

Qin Mo bowed her head, today she wore a large skirt with a cardigan, but she was exceptionally beautiful, gentle, and virtuous.

She was also dealing with writing, so she gently put down the pen in her hand, put her hand flat on her waist, straightened her body, and smiled, "Your brothers are all brave, I am naturally trustworthy, and when this matter falls, I will personally reward you brothers, but now is the most critical time, you must not relax, you must keep people in prison——! ”

"Madame, don't worry, when our brother rushed in, those people were not guarded, we only said to seek revenge, even if we really heard any rumors outside, we would not suspect this, now the letter is in our hands, people are also tied up by us one by one, the letter is already in our hands, what is Madame going to do——!"

Qin Mo said lightly: "Take it and take a look——! ”

"Yes——!" The man bowed his head and opened his sleeve, but took out a white piece of paper.

Then he put it in his hand and handed it over respectfully.

Qin Mo brushed his fingers away with one hand, and then gently spread them with his slender fingers.

After reading the letter, it was a long time.

After a long time

She put her hands on her cheeks

The pretty little face is only more lovely in her rather playful demeanor.

If you are a man, you will definitely be attracted.

Her tone was very calm, "This old man's mental quality is not very good, after all, he is a small peasant in the countryside who makes a living by striking iron, and he is naturally afraid of such a thing, so I asked you to make some movements, and he quickly noticed that he went to Buzhuang, just to implement my identity, and he knew that Miss Buzhuang did not go out that day, and he was naturally more afraid in his heart, these people, if they are afraid, the first thing he has to do is to contact the palace, to communicate the news, and the money village is a den for them to contact, This old man is illiterate, so if he has something, he will go to the boss of the money bank, and you will send your brother to search the money bank carefully to see if there are any letters left by exchanging information with the palace for many years, and if you find it, bring them to me——! ”

"Yes, ma'am——!"

"Then the old man and the people in the money bank ——!"

Qin Mo paused, "Since I found out here, it is not okay not to follow the vine and touch the melon, since the old man went to find the shopkeeper, it is bound that all the shopkeepers made by this old man will know, the shopkeeper is the person who is connected, he is the force arranged by the people in the palace, and he has been interacting with the people in the palace, he knows more than this old man, the old man may be a helper they found, anyway, the wife and children of this shopkeeper are here, so it is good to pry open his mouth and let him say more, and then, let him write a letter and take the initiative to contact the palace with his hand, It's better to get more stuff, it's better to catch people, and get stolen goods——! ”

"Yes——!" The person who reported the report then bowed his head and said, "What if this shopkeeper swears to die——! ”

Qin Mo said coldly, "Then let his wife and children die, in front of him, I don't believe it, his heart is so hard, others will be more serious than his own family's lives——! ”

"That old man——!"

Qin Mo glanced at it coldly again, and put his hand lightly on the page, "Before everything is settled, we must guard these people, we must not let them kill themselves, and when these people are still alive, treat other people's wives and children well——! ”

"Yes——!" "When people get stolen goods, how can they do without a witness——! The people on the ground knelt for a long time, and Qin Mo also thought about it for a long time, thinking, for a long time, the corners of Qin Mo's lips were slightly hooked.

"Huh——!" The kneeling man on the ground looked up with a surprised expression, a bewildered man with a capital letter.

Qin Mo lowered his eyes, "You go down——! ”

"Yes...!" The man was about to withdraw, but after a moment, as if remembering something, he fell down on his knees again." Madam, there is one more thing I almost forgot, when I came, the helper asked me to convey the pain of lovesickness to Mrs., he said, even if you can't be a serious couple, even if it is a nominal wife, it is good to see Mrs. from time to time, the helper went to Huaijiang the day before yesterday, and heard that the mustard over there is the best, so he asked someone to bring a jar for Mrs., and when he came down, he handed it to the brothers for safekeeping, and now it should be given to the housekeeper in the house, and the big boss said, if the taste Mrs. likes to eat, he will go and get it again——! ”

Qin Mo sighed and propped his hand on his forehead, "Okay, I know, you go down——! ”

She thought, but don't owe too much of this love debt, thinking that at the beginning, she was just coercing and playing, and wanted to use the network resources of the Shanghe Gang, but she didn't want this He Qinghong to show a little bit of true temperament, but it bothered Qin Mo.

Such an old man, forty or fifty years old, how can Qin Mo not love it, although this is not rough.

However, no matter what, Qin Mo was still grateful to him in the end, if it weren't for his willingness to listen to himself and pull himself.

She doesn't want to use people as easily as she does today.

After several days of surveillance and interrogation of the people in the bank, the owner of the money bank couldn't resist it, and then he still confessed. He thinks he is a person under the four princes in the palace, and his wife, Cheap Nei, is the cousin and niece of the imperial concubine in the palace.

So he didn't ask much.

It is illegal to smelt weapons without permission.

The old man was interrogated by Qin Mo, and his whole body was paralyzed with fright, and he was all recruited.

The imperial concubine is not the most powerful in the palace, and she is usually unknown, because her mother's family is the general of the Zhenguo, and she has a prince who is an adult, in the palace, except for the queen, she is the highest position and the oldest, and the four princes are not the best among the peers, but they are not mediocre, and the emperor can still pay attention to it from time to time.

But I don't want to, a woman who has been forbearant and silent has such a hard time.

The birth of the eighth prince stimulated the harem very much.

Killing the eighth prince and coming up with such a trick to pull the prince off the horse is indeed ruthless enough.

If Qin Mo hadn't noticed that barb in front of the iron booth before, he wouldn't have thought of the arrows of this arrow.

But a woman's intuition, from the scene that happened that day, many people thought it was an accident, but as far as Qin Mo was concerned, he always felt that there was something strange.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, but the night sky outside the gate of this palace is particularly refreshing.

Outside the Shenwu Gate

The third prince, Helian Jue, sat on a horse, his clothes were ice blue silk, and the snow-white trim embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns and the mutton fat jade hairpin on his head complemented each other. Inky satin cloak trimmed with silver openwork hibiscus. Wearing a jade belt at the waist, wearing white deerskin boots on his feet, his trousers turned up, and tucked into the leather boots, the extraordinary figure of a gorgeous noble son at the end.

"Master Guoshi, I came out for the sake of my cousin Murong Zhuang's face, it's so cold this day, what are you asking me to come out for——!"

He was riding on a horse, Qin Mo was standing on the ground, and there was a carriage and horse next to him, but she didn't sit, it was cold, and she was wearing a long white ferret fur.

And the little peach held on, the cloak was too long, and it hung down to the ground.

"Yes, Master Guoshi, what's the matter with calling the old minister out so late——!"

There was also a delicate carriage of purple nanmu next to it, and the one squatting in the carriage was the Shangshu of the Criminal Department wearing a crimson robe.

There were guards standing on both sides of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, while there were some stragglers standing around the horses of the three princes.

Qin Mo looked at the moonlight, it was almost time, and the person who wanted to act should also act.

This is the third time Qin Mo has heard this Helian Jue complain, looked up at the sky, and smiled lightly, "It's nothing, it's time to witness things immediately, if you are lucky, it is a good thing for the three princes, and it is also for me, if you miss, let me invite the three princes to come out today to see the night view——! ”

The snow-colored raw edges reflect the snow-white skin of the person, and at this moment, Qin Mo is as beautiful as a pink carving.

"You've never been close to King Lian, why, why did you think of calling me out to see the night view today——!

Qin Mo raised his head, stretched out his hand and sighed, looked up at the stars, and said casually, "It seems that the third prince is very attentive to my every move, I originally kept these things secret and didn't publicize them, but His Royal Highness the Third Prince knew that I was close to King Lian——! ”

Helian Jue was exposed, and his face was a little scornful.

Immediately, his face turned to the side obviously, and there was a look of obvious displeasure.

Suddenly, a man came out of the gate, short and small, wearing a dark red cloak on this cold day, and looking like a woman, walking left and right, very sneaky.

Xiao Tao's eyes were sharp, and she suddenly cried out.

"Girl, it's out——!"

Little Peach pointed over.

Qin Mo froze and took a quick breath, "Quick, ask someone to hold her——! ”

The criminal department Shangshu almost fell asleep in the car, and everyone woke up when he was frightened by Qin Mo, and suddenly turned his mind and hurriedly ordered the surrounding guards

"Quick, listen to the words of the national teacher, go up and catch her——!"

The woman listened to the voice, looked at the situation in this direction, and quickly realized that something was wrong, and in a panic, her steps deviated from the original track and wanted to run backwards.

was ambushed by the ambush soldiers called by Qin Mo early in the morning, and several guards stepped forward and grabbed them at once.

Helian Jue saw the man, and when he looked closely at it from a distance, the figure was a woman.

The phoenix's eyes narrowed

"It seems that the National Teacher has already set up a play, and calling us here is just a ——! to watch the play"

Qin Mo turned his head slightly, and his gaze was slightly deflected, falling on the person on horseback.

I saw the man's handsome face.

said coldly, "Naturally, but with such a witness as the third prince, the emperor is naturally more trustworthy——! ”

Diligent Palace

The candles lit up the whole hall as bright as day.

The emperor was already going to bed, but he was rumored many times by the eunuchs, saying that Qin Mo had a big matter and he had to see His Majesty in a hurry, and he couldn't delay it.

The emperor had to hurriedly put on the dragon robe and get up again.

When he came to this hall, the old man's face was wrinkled, and his heart was full of anger because Qin Mo disturbed his interest in sleeping.

"Weichen see the emperor's ——!"

"Sons and daughters see the ——! of their father"

"The ministers see the emperor's ——!"

As soon as he entered, two powerful guards grabbed a person in his hands, and his hair was scattered, and he seemed to be a palace maid.

Also entering the hall were the three princes Helian Jue, the Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

"You.! You guys. The old emperor looked at Qin Mo, and then looked at the third prince Helian Jue next to him, and the secretary of the criminal department, and was instantly dumbfounded, "Why do you have to come to me so late, can't you leave it tomorrow to deal with it——! ”

"The Emperor's ——!" Qin Mo squatted down, and Ying Ying bowed down, "People have stolen goods, this matter is urgent, we must return to the emperor immediately.!" ”

"What the hell is going on——!"

The Emperor flicked his sleeves in annoyance, then turned to sit on the dragon chair.

Qin Mo turned to look at the palace maid, his face was cold, and he said to her carefully, "You raise your head and let the emperor take a look——! ”

Her palace maid really raised her head, the corners of her mouth were beaten with blood, and there were scars on her face, and when she raised her head, she was staring at Qin Mo with a resentful look...!

"She.!" The emperor twisted his eyebrows, looking surprised. "She is.!"

"Your Majesty, please take a look, this thing was searched from her, I, and Lord Shangshu Min of the Criminal Department, the three princes are all witnesses, this girl is the most intimate girl around the imperial concubine, called' Lan'er's letter, she was going to hand over to the boss of a money bank in the capital, at the beginning, the eighth prince was killed, everyone on the training ground saw that the prince missed, resulting in the tragic death of the eighth prince, only Qin Mo found that the arrow was inserted into the lintel halfway, was blocked, according to Qin Mo's seat at the time, the arrow that was slightly weaker could not kill again, and then, what everyone saw, the eighth prince died tragically, and the arrow stuck in his forehead happened to be the arrow of the East Palace. ”

"The emperor was so angry at that time that he abolished the prince in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and then King Shen returned to his house in seclusion——!"

And Weichen felt that the situation was different, but he couldn't turn the situation around, just waited, but Weichen happened to meet the person who could cast arrows outside the palace, that was an old blacksmith who had been playing iron for more than 30 years, proficient in all kinds of ironware, craftsmanship, and the arrows cast by his hands could be compared with the government, and then, it was this arrow, and finally changed to the prince, and the prince's arrow had already been stolen out, and finally at that time everyone thought that the prince missed and caused the tragic death of the eighth prince, but in fact, this is not the case, the eighth prince was borrowed from everyone when they panicked, It is believed that he was killed by an arrow in the head——! ”

Qin Mo instantly saw that the emperor's lips trembled, and there was also a sense of irritability on his body, "What nonsense——! ”

There was a roar of rage, and the whole hall knelt down.

Originally, no one made a sound, only Qin Mo's voice was clear, and she knelt on the ground, her eyes straight to the ground

"Your Majesty, in order to restore the truth, Weichen tried his best, no matter what the emperor thought at the moment, but Qin Mo only wanted to give justice to the eighth prince, and did not let the crimes of the evil person succeed, at the beginning, the nurse next to the concubine Niangniang was merciful by the emperor at that time and punished to the Huanyi Bureau, as a result, the nurse was called by Weichen to find out the origin of this nurse, this nurse was originally surnamed Liu, a Binzhou woman, because of an old incident decades ago, when the emperor had just ascended the throne, there were strange noises everywhere from the bottom, At that time, Rong Bao, the commander-in-chief of the guards who supported the emperor's throne, was ordered by the emperor to clean up those who moved, and as a result, Rong Bao had a small guard, passing through Binzhou, and killed a couple by mistake, this incident, the emperor did not know when it happened, and only a few years later there was a woman who was wronged, saying that Rong Bao abused his power and killed innocents indiscriminately, and the emperor was furious and sent him to Binzhou, the couple at that time, there were two daughters, the eldest daughter was eight years old, the younger daughter was five years old, after the death of the couple, the eldest daughter was always, and the younger daughter was raised by the uncle's family, so, Before the accusation that Rongbao was the eldest daughter, she was only a teenager at the time, and the emperor sent someone to check, but the girl who reported it was dead, for this reason, the emperor added resentment to the Rongbao family, and now this, Grandma Liu, is this little daughter, someone took advantage of her hatred, and then got into the palace, she changed her marriage, the purpose is to cover up her ancestral hometown, the purpose is to take revenge on the prince——! ”

These were the last things Helian Bi found out.

It can be described as a lot of hard work.

"Nonsense——!"

The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and then slapped his big palm on the dragon chair

"How is that possible... Nonsense. It's all nonsense...! ”

In an instant, how many years of old things were opened again, in fact, Rong Bao's fault was also caused by himself to stabilize the throne, as soon as he mentioned it, it was as if this was his own sin, and that person obviously wanted to take revenge on himself.

Hearing this, how could the emperor not be angry.

Qin Mo's thick black curly eyelashes slapped calmly downward

"Is it nonsense, the evidence has been obtained in person, Qin Mo has worked hard, and he is afraid that his own strength is weak, so he asks the Criminal Department to be Shangshu, His Royal Highness the Third Prince and the ministers, the physical evidence has been presented to Your Majesty, whether Your Majesty wants to admit it or not, it is up to Your Majesty to ——!"

"Qin Mo, every time you talk to me, you are bold, don't think that I really dare not kill you——!" This majesty is really angry with Qin Mo directly.

Qin Mo was still kneeling steadily, his long eyelashes were stretched downward, and a row of dark shadows were drawn from his eyelids.

"Weichen is loyal to the emperor, nothing else wants to, if the emperor wants to kill Weichen, Weichen can only receive orders...!"

"You ——!" The emperor was choked, and the paper in his hand was already crumpled in his hand, and he didn't look at it, but he didn't want to throw it.

For a long time, the emperor's eyes glanced down tiredly, "It's so late, I also know what you have told me, retreat, I have to think about it for a while, this palace maid, just drag it out and kill it with a cane, this kind of heinous person, don't pollute my eyes——! ”

Subsequently, the palace maid was dragged down

Qin Mo looked indifferent, staring at the cyan bricks and stones as far as his eyes could see.

Several people bowed their heads at the same time.

"Wechen retired ——!"

"The retainers retired ——!"

Finally, the candles in the hall trembled, and as soon as Qin Mo and the others stepped out of the threshold of the hall, half of the lights in the hall were extinguished.

The night breeze is cold, and there is a long stone road from the Qinzheng Hall to the outside of the noon gate.

Then, three people are one in front of one in the middle and one in the back.

"Master Guoshi, you see that the moonlight is so good today——!"

The moon is in the sky, although the air is humid, the ground is still full of clear light, and the night fog is vast and wide.

When people walk in this air, when they breathe in the air, they all carry a coldness.

"The moon that the national teacher called out to reward is really unusual——!"

Qin Mo pretended not to understand his mockery.

Walking only in front, the fox dragged on the ground, pulling a dark shadow.

For a long time, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and Helian Jue knew that she was taking advantage of it.

She is also a last resort.

If the party is Helian Bi, the emperor thinks differently, and he will suspect that this is a secret alliance between them to whitewash the crown prince and frame the imperial concubine.

Qin Mo knew that for such a big matter, the emperor had a knot in his heart for the prince, and similarly, the emperor heard that his son died like this, how could he not be shocked when he heard it, even if it was the emperor, he would be fragile in his heart, afraid of facing the naked, cruel truth, so let the matter die like this.

And, Qin Mo brought Shangshu from the Criminal Department, a heavyweight minister, and one was a prince, which was tantamount to telling the emperor that these people knew the truth, even if he was unwilling to overturn the case, he couldn't hold it back.

"Yes, if it weren't for such a good month, how could Qin Mo dare to work His Royal Highness the Third Prince——!"

The two mocked each other and knew it.

Finally, when the noon gate came out, all the horses and carriages of the people stopped there.

Xiao Tao and the others stood on the ground for a long time.

Seeing Qin Mo coming, Xiao Tao's eyes narrowed into flowers.

Qin Mo originally walked over and was about to get into the car, when he was suddenly pulled down by a force behind him.

Qin Mo bit his lip, turned around, and broke free with all his might.

"Damn, this king has never seen a woman as rampant as you——!"

In my ears was a male voice, low, but powerful.

Qin Mo seemed to hear the man's rough breath. The chest rises and falls

Qin Mo's expression was faint, he turned around and withdrew his hand, and the person was supported by Xiao Tao and got into the carriage again, still with that indifferent voice behind

"Your Highness has seen more in the future, and you will get used to it——!"

Immediately, the coachman drove the carriage away, leaving Helian Jue standing in the open space for a long time with a pale face.

After this incident, that night, I don't know who leaked the news, and the palace knew about it.

Yan Guifei knelt outside the Qinzheng Hall in plain clothes for most of the day, crying and shouting for the emperor to uphold justice, to find out the truth about her son's murder, and to severely punish the murderer.

On the afternoon of the next day, the imperial concubine hanged herself in Xianfu Palace.

The fourth prince, Helian Cong, heard the bad news and hurriedly entered the palace, the imperial concubine had already lost her breath, the imperial concubine died, and in the end she saved her son.

In fact, the imperial concubine wanted to do this at the beginning, and the middle palace would point the finger at Concubine Hui and the concubine sisters, and her victory would be greater, but she didn't want to, as long as she did something bad, there would definitely be an omission, and it happened that Qin Mo was in the palace at that time-

So I forced myself to die

* In the capital, this is the first heavy snow of the year, and the snow is so big that it says it will fall, and it has been falling for several days one after another, and it is difficult to walk on snowy roads everywhere.

Little Peach came in, holding dust bomb ash in her hand.

"After the snow in this winter, the girl is even more lazy to move, every day in addition to the court, go home is to read and read, I don't know what the book is good about, I think, this winter, the girl's waist is fat, it's lazy, don't like to go out and walk around——!"

When Qin Mo heard Xiao Tao's words, he put down the book, smiled at the corner of his lips, and said lightly, "You dead girl, you talk too much——! ”

"In that case, let's go out for a walk, it just so happens that the next two months are the end of the year, why don't you go and see what is sold on the street to see what is delicious and fun——!"

Anyway, it's not a day or two in this yard.

When Xiao Tao heard this, she was about to fly with joy.

Qin Mo walked out of the door, and immediately faced a burst of snow, and the green pines on both sides were full of snow.

"Girl, look, is the snow all frozen——!

Little Peach ran to a pot of dwarf pine to knock on the ice.

Qin Mo looked at it with a smile.

A moment later, a familiar shadow came in from outside the gate.

Qin Mo stood in the courtyard and glanced at it, wasn't that the butler Zhu of the Lian Palace.

"Oh, my national teacher, you are still enjoying the snow in the courtyard, the prince has just been sent down to southern Fujian, saying that he is going to check the political style of the officials over there, the prince can't let you go before leaving, saying that the girl likes red date pastries, Xueling's new tea, let me come to the national teacher's mansion from time to time to walk around, send some in time, and said that it is almost the end of the year, let the palace send more pastries, the national teacher's mansion is too cold, a cook is not enough, and the new dim sum under the festival should be rewarded, I am afraid that the national teacher is too lazy to take care of these things, so I asked me to send it over."

Qin Mo nodded, I don't know why, my heart was suddenly moved, it seems that he always never embarrassed her in these tricky things that have been ignored by her, his concern is not flashy, not publicity, but everything he does for her falls on Qin Mo's heart bit by bit, he knows that every time he arrives at the festival, he is lax, afraid of trouble, and even his subordinates suffer with him, these palace mansions, when it comes to the festival, they all have to give out pastries to eat and reward people, so help yourself to take care of it.

Qin Mo stood in place, "Thank you, Steward Zhu, the supervisor stayed to eat tea——! ”

The housekeeper Zhu left the food box behind, and quickly excused himself, "Thank you for the tea, but the prince is not in the house, and the upper and lower levels need to be managed by the slave family, so I really can't stay longer——! ”

Qin Mo heard him say this, so he thanked him and asked him to send Steward Zhu out.

"Girl, you see, the snow is frozen——!

Xiao Tao is such a big person, and sometimes he is still a child, so he takes a piece of ice and plays with it in his hand, and grinds the edge of the ice cube with his fingers.

Qin Mo turned his head and was shocked, "What are you doing here——! ”

Xiao Tao raised her hand arrogantly, "Girl, you say you're amazing, there are few things you don't know in the world, but, this thing, you really don't know, don't say you don't know, this capital, even if it's in the palace, those ladies haven't seen it——! ”

Qin Mo couldn't help but snort and chuckled, "What the hell are you doing, so baby——! ”

"Girl, don't worry, I don't know if it's okay, I'll show you when the time comes, don't be surprised, but that's what Qiu Luan taught me——!"

"Who is Qiu Luan?!" Qin Mo was surprised

"Her father is Honglu Siqing, last time the girl took me to the palace banquet, I know, she knows that I am your maid, she said that she likes you very much, said that you are very great, a woman can be such a big official, just close to me, she said that her father is specialized in receiving foreign envoys, has seen a lot of foreign things, and there are also gifts for those envoys at home, she said that her family has a shiny thing, thick in the middle, thin on the edge, like jade polished, put this thing on paper, the word will become bigger, if you put it in the sun, Put a bunch of things underneath, and you can start a fire, girl, you say it's strange, but she said it's her treasure, I haven't seen it yet, but she said, I heard her father say that this can also be made with ice, ground with ice, put it under the sun, can make a fire, those wild people use this to make a fire when they are grazing in the cold weather, so girl, I want to try it too——! ”

Qin Mo thought in her heart, chattering for a long time, isn't it just a lens to make a fire, who said she didn't understand.

Qin Mo raised his hand, "It's just that your ice is too thin, and even if you make it, there is no sun in the sky today——! ”

Qin Mo turned his head around and looked at the top of his head, this snow is so big, where to find the sun...

Sun. Sun... Suddenly, Qin Mo's head had a spiritual light.

There was a sun in the sky that day, wouldn't it? Will. She had been thinking about the problem for so many days.

Suddenly, Qin Mo's excited heart was about to jump from the atrium.

In the past few days, although the emperor has not restored the status of the crown prince, he has released the eldest prince, that is, the current king of Shen's confinement.

In the emperor's heart, what else is he afraid of, Qin Mo knows.

That day, the concubine went to the palace to make trouble, and the truth of this matter could no longer be contained.

The emperor didn't come to court for days, all because of this incident,

The imperial concubine died, and the coffin was parked in the palace for several days, and the emperor did not have any will, and later only ordered the body of the imperial concubine to be dragged out and buried indiscriminately.

Qin Mo drove to King Shen's Mansion.

King Shen is dressed in plain clothes today, these days, he lives in a simple house at home, after this incident, he has also lost a lot of weight, Qin Mo looked at it, and he was a little sad.

Naturally, King Shen was very grateful to Qin Mo, at least Qin Mo found the truth of the day and rescued himself.

And after two cups of tea, Qin Mo asked him the details of the situation at that time.

As Helian Bi told himself, "At first, on the horse's back, I didn't notice anything, and the first two arrows didn't notice any movement of the horse, but when the third arrow was about to be released, suddenly the horse was startled, and the horse was startled, and my whole body leaned back, but my hand was already loose, and at that time, the whole person seemed to fall down, and the arrow flew towards the back stand, and I couldn't do anything ——! ”

King Shen sighed as he drank his tea.

Qin Mo thought about his words for a long time.

"Is the horse still there, I want to see the horse——!"

When Helian Jing heard Qin Mo say this, he nodded pertinently, and said, "Yes, he is still in the horse circle, he has caused such a big disaster, and the people in the house are unwilling to keep it, but after all, it has followed me for so many years, I am reluctant to kill it, the matter is already like this, what if I kill him, so I insisted on going my own way and still left his life——! ”

Qin Mo nodded, "The prince is kind——! ”

After a long time, Helian Jing raised his side face, "It's not kind, beasts are fate, they have been with me for so many years, and they are already considered my good brothers, oh, national teacher, come with me——! ”

So, Na Helian Jing walked forward and opened his arms to lead the way for Qin Mo.

Qin Mo followed behind, paying attention to the two brothers, born to one mother, but their personalities are very different, Helian Jing is humble, alert, and benevolent, while Helian Bi can give Qin Mo a sense of security.

Calm, solemn and atmospheric.

"This is where horses are raised——! Saying that, Helian Jing led Qin Mo down to a place, but this was a horse farm.

There is a horse in each manger, and most of them are good horses.

Along the way, Qin Mo saw a few brown and red sweaty and bloody horses.

"Snow foal, that's him, it's separated now, locked up here alone——!"

Helian Jing led Qin Mo to a manger, and then, Qin Mo looked up at the horse.

When Helian Jing approached, the horse seemed to remember him, and took the initiative to come over, put his head in his hand, and stretched out his nose to sniff.

Helian Jing stroked its hair.

Qin Mo approached and stroked the horse's head with his hand, but was bounced away by its head, and behind, Helian Jing personally taught her to pick up from the hairy place and gently stroke it along the hair.

"Snow Pony is a good horse, it's a pity...!"

Qin Mo lowered his head and looked around with his hand on the horse's head, but there was no trace.

For a long time, her eyes focused on one of the horse's left eyes, and she found some scratches.

Qin Mo stepped forward gently, got closer through the manger, looked closer, and then asked

"What's the matter with this horse's eyes——!"

Helian Jing also moved his gaze to that place, stared at it for two seconds, and then said, "I don't know, it seems that it has been since that time, but I don't know what's going on——! ”

Qin Mo was silent, and then retreated silently.

When he returned to the pavilion, Qin Mo didn't stay long, and after drinking half a cup of tea, he said that he was leaving.

And the king of Nashen did not stay long

On the way back, Qin Mo, who was sitting in the carriage, just thought.

Anyway, the reason for the horse's fright was finally figured out.

That's right, it's a borrowed convex lens.

This dynasty doesn't have this thing, this thing was introduced from the Western Regions or overseas, and not many people in the Yan Kingdom know the mysteries here.

Even the emperor probably didn't know.

On that day, the sun was shining, although it was afternoon, but the sun was not small, some people knew that the way to focus the sun with a convex lens could ignite the things under the convex lens, that day, it happened that the sun was westerly, and the game was on the stage, but under the high platform, it was full of people, and the sun was far westerly, and the angle was very easy to find.

The angle is facing the horse's eyes, so that there is no external injury, and the burning pain will make the horse convuls, not to mention the eyes, so the horse's reaction is particularly large, and afterwards, no one knows about it.

The people who laid out behind the scenes took the most vicious method every step of the way.

Helian Cong's age, he must not have thought of these strategies, they are both thoughtful and ingenious, and they are not noticeable afterwards, there are many wings cultivated around the imperial concubine, this woman, the more silent the woman, the more she cannot be underestimated.

I don't know why, after knowing so much, Qin Mo's heart suddenly became a little flustered.

As soon as Qin Mo drove back to the mansion, the housekeeper in the mansion immediately greeted him.

"Girl, where have you been, the father-in-law who announced the decree just now has been waiting for you for a long time, and the emperor has announced that you will enter the palace——!"

Qin Mo had just gotten out of the carriage and pointed to his nose

"I ——!"

The housekeeper said hurriedly, eager to push Qin Mo into the carriage again

"yes. It's you...! ”

In the end, Qin Mo had to let the coachman drive to the imperial city
