Chapter Ninety-Three: The Murderer

Late at night, Yuanxin was still reading the Bianguan newspaper in the study, watching the anxious fall, turning around in the room uneasily, hanging his hands and feeling sad, "I don't understand, what should I do?" What to do? ”

Yuanxin opened the door to breathe, and suddenly thought that Cheng Zheng should not have slept yet, so he grabbed the fold and ran towards Cheng Zheng's courtyard, and sure enough, there was still light in Cheng Zheng's room.

Yuanxin strode forward and knocked on the door, "Brother, it's me." ”

Cheng Zheng was drinking alone, and when he heard Yuanxin's voice, he put away his sad look, "Come in." ”

Yuanxin pushed open the door and went in, and when he saw Cheng Zheng's gloomy eyes, he felt sorry, "I know you haven't slept yet, you must still be sad about Yishan." ”

"I'm fine, you don't have to blame yourself, you are willing to swear by me in the ancestral hall today, I am more relieved than anything else." Cheng Zheng smiled forcefully.

Seeing that he could still laugh, Yuanxin was very puzzled, "Why can you put it down so easily?" ”

"I never let go, I just buried it in my heart." Cheng Zheng replied deeply, drank another glass of wine, and asked, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, isn't it to comfort me?" ”

Yuanxin lowered his head in shame, "I was delayed a few days ago, I didn't have time to read the report on the frontier, I will be questioned by the emperor tomorrow, and I can't understand a few places......"

Cheng Zheng pushed away the wine glass, stretched out his hand, and Yuanxin obediently handed over the newspaper, like a primary school student facing Mr. Private School.

Cheng Zheng saw that he was restrained and reminded, "Come and sit, what are you doing in a daze." ”

"I, I'll just stand, you will definitely have to discipline me later, I've been in office for three months, and I still don't understand anything." Yuanxin seemed discouraged.

Cheng Zheng comforted, "Your talent has improved by leaps and bounds, and the elders of the Council Pavilion are very satisfied, so you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself." ”

Yuanxin suddenly became excited and sat down in front of Cheng Zheng, "Really? Am I that good? ”

Cheng Zheng frowned dissatisfiedly, "You kid is not arrogant just to let me praise you, right?" ”

Yuanxin said with a smile, "I'm used to being taught by you, and it's not bad to listen to a few compliments once in a while." ”

Cheng Zheng ignored his nonsense, read the report, and asked, "Where don't you understand?" ”

Yuanxin pointed out several places, and Cheng Zheng patiently explained them one by one and took the trouble to do so.

After Yuanxin asked, he couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, the position of King Xiang is still suitable for you, why did it fall on my head." I heard that it was because you had a falling out with the eldest princess and broke into her palace to argue, why can you tell me? Yuanxin craned his neck and gossiped.

"Can't!" Cheng Zheng rolled his eyes and resolutely refused.

"Just tell me, I'm not an outsider, I want to know what is so important that you can quarrel with the eldest princess? I'm curious, and so is the eldest princess, so don't you know how to make a big deal if you can't bear it? actually participated in your book, isn't this self-severing your arm? ”

"If you're okay, let's go." Cheng Zheng saw that he began to talk nonsense, knowing that he was done with his business, he began to issue an eviction order, and picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine.

Yuanxin snatched the wine glass and drank it all, "Don't, I'm in such a hurry to drive me away, I still want to drink two glasses with you." How boring you are when you drink alone, I accompany you, maybe I can still hear your drunken mantra. ”

Cheng Zheng said unhappily, "Are you leaving?" ”

"Let's go," Yuanxin put down his wine glass, "I want to ask you two words of gossip why it's so difficult, don't you say, I'll ask the eldest princess to go tomorrow." ”

"I wish you the answers." Cheng Zheng knew that it was impossible to tell him at the end of the day, so he didn't say anything to him anymore.

The next day, Yuanxin and several ministers came out of the imperial study, and actually really stopped him, and Yuanxin said flamboyantly, "I'm here to apologize for my brother." ”

Yilin was surprised, "Oh? He asked you to come? ”

"That's right, don't you know that my brother has been sad at home since he was copied by you, and he drank alone last night." Yuanxin said seriously.

When I heard that Cheng Zheng cared about himself very much, his face was excited, but his face suddenly changed, "No, we haven't been with each other for a few months, I've seen him a few times, and I haven't seen him show any apologies." You're here to find out. ”

Yuanxin smiled and said, "The eldest princess is so smart that she can't hide it from your eyes." I'm really curious.,But after all, you and my brother have no guesses.,It's not good to get stiff.,If there's any contradiction, you might as well tell me.,I'll reconcile and reconcile for you? ”

"I don't know who is with him." Yilin pretended to be angry, "Why don't you ask him if you have questions?" ”

"I asked, my brother didn't say, didn't he just come to ask you? I can tell from your look that you actually have no feelings for my brother, do you want me to help you with advice? "Yuanxin came up cheaply.

Yi Lin glared angrily, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll slap your mouth!" ”

Yuanxin hurriedly covered his face in fear, "Just kidding, why are you so fierce." ”

Yi Lin smiled slyly, "You are so idle that the king of Xiangwang has been idle?" Am I going to find you something to do? ”

Yuanxin was anxious, and said pitifully and obediently, "The conscience of heaven and earth can be seen by the sun and the moon!" I didn't close my eyes all night, and I almost threw up when I read the military recital, really. It's not good, it's not easy to have some time to help the princess solve problems. ”

"If you're really idle, why don't you serve another princess a snack?"

"Who?" Yuanxin is confused,

Yilin reminded, "A few days later, it will be the day of Jiaorong's harmony, her biological mother has a low position, and she has no playmates in the palace, didn't you have some friendship when you were young, if you give a big gift, she will definitely be very happy." ”

Yuanxin agreed, "Okay, thank you princess for reminding me, I'll go back and prepare." ”

Out of the palace gate, Yuanxin wandered around the street, thinking about what gift to give to Jiaorong. When walking through the streets, I suddenly found that a person was very familiar, isn't this Ding Fu, my grandfather's attendant before his death, Yuanxin wanted to go forward to greet him, but Ding Fu saw Yuanxin but ran away.

Yuanxin chased after him suspiciously, blocking him in a narrow alley, "What are you running?" ”

Ding Fu saw that he couldn't hide, so he stepped forward to say hello, "The villain asks for peace for the second master." ”

Yuanxin asked, "Why are you hiding when you see me?" ”

Ding Fu said in a panic, "The villain suddenly thought that there was something at home, and hurried back." ”

"Lie!" Yuanxin walked towards him and forced him into a corner, "Seeing that you look like a thief, you must have something to hide from me and recruit me from the truth, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind." ”

Ding Fu didn't dare to speak, and then turned his head and slammed into the wall hard, Yuanxin reacted quickly, quickly blocked his forehead, and threw him to the ground, "Look at your move, it's not a trivial matter to hide it from me, I really have to ask the end today." ”

Ding Fu trembled, as if he was facing a great enemy, and Yuan Xin pressed forward step by step, grabbing his clothes and scolding him, "Say! ”

"Second Master...... The second master still doesn't know. ”

Yuanxin insisted, "I just want to know!" If you don't say I'm not going to let you go today! ”

Ding Fu hesitated for a long time, "The second master promised to spare the villain's life, and the villain said." ”

"Okay." Yuanxin agreed, but seeing that he was resolute, he was afraid that he would not speak if he didn't give him some guarantees.

Ding Fu said cautiously, "The villain is indeed ashamed of the second master, the villain was ordered to hide by the old prince's side, waiting for the opportunity to attack the old prince." ”

Yuanxin was full of anger, gritted his teeth and asked, "Then what have you done?" ”

Ding Fu cowered, not daring to look directly into Yuanxin's eyes, "On the day of the old prince's death, the second master quarreled with the old prince, and the old prince fainted to the ground, and it was the villain who pierced the back of the old prince's head with a silver needle, causing the old prince to die. ”

It turned out that grandpa's death was not because of me. If it weren't for Ding Fu, would all this be a different ending?

Grandpa won't die, Menghan and I won't be separated, Ah Yin won't die, my mother won't die, and my brother won't hate Menghan or kill her. Isn't it? It turns out that I am not the initiator of this series of tragedies, I have hated myself for two years, tortured myself for two years, it turns out that I am not so guilty and unforgivable. Yuanxin couldn't hide his grief and asked angrily, "Whose order was it?" ”

Ding Fu shrank back in fear, "The villain doesn't dare to say it, even if the second master wants the villain's life, the villain can't say it." ”

"Okay, I promised not to kill you, you can go, don't appear in the capital again."

"Thank you Second Master for sparing your life!" Ding Fu knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and ran away.

Yuanxin is full of sorrow and questions, who wants to kill grandpa? Grandpa has worked hard for the country all his life, why would anyone want to kill him? Is anyone jealous of grandpa's high position? But why didn't grandpa let him go after he retired? Why hide so deep to get revenge? Why didn't Ding Funing dare to tell who was behind the scenes? Is it a character who is more powerful than grandpa? Xu Qingsong? He was single-handedly pulled by his grandfather, how could he have a grudge against his grandfather? The Emperor? He was taught by his grandfather himself, and he has always respected his grandfather, how could he send someone to harm his grandfather?

Yuanxin couldn't think of a reason, and the knot that had been buried in his heart for two years was opened, but it seemed to be carrying a heavier burden.

Yuanxin found Cheng Zheng in a daze, Cheng Zheng saw that he was depressed, and knew that he didn't ask the result when he looked for Yilin, if he asked, according to Yuanxin's character, he should do it on the spot, and it is estimated that he will not be able to go home, Cheng Zheng asked, "What's wrong?" Knocked out by a pro? ”

"Brother, I have something I want to tell you."

Yuanxin's cautious tone almost made Cheng Zheng think that he knew the truth and endured it. Yuanxin opened his mouth and talked about meeting Ding Fu, and asked Cheng Zheng to analyze.

Xu Qingsong once reminded the emperor that he was afraid of the Yun Clan, he had already guessed that it was the emperor in his heart, but he couldn't say that Yuanxin had an impulsive temperament, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not show anything, as the king of Xiang, he commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Yun clan on behalf of the emperor, and the emperor could not tolerate half of the disagreement, if the emperor knew that he had other thoughts, how could he keep him.

Cheng Zheng analyzed that it might be that his grandfather took over the government and made drastic reforms, eradicated the traitors, and offended someone, comforted him with a few words and told him not to think too much, and sent him away. (To be continued.) )
