It's not that Zhou Shu doesn't want to put it back, but he can't put it back.

When he entered the study, it was quite smooth, and he said with a look of anger that he had come to take the whip to enforce the family law on the orders of the king of Ji'an, and the guards guarding the door did not dare to ask more, so they let him in.

As for why the king of Ji'an sent the second young master over to get the whip, the guard understood it on his own, after all, it was a gift from the emperor, not just anyone could touch it, and it was reasonable for the prince to send a son to fetch it out of respect and caution.

According to the results of Shi Quan's follow-up and spying, the king of Ji'an hid the head of the jade scepter in the dark compartment of the last row of bookshelves in the study on the night the Buddhist hall was burned.

As soon as Zhou Shu entered the study, he went straight to the dark compartment, but when he opened it, he found that it was empty and there was nothing. It must have been after the king of Ji'an suspected the head of the stone spring, so he transferred the head of the jade scepter again and hid it in a more secure place.

He believed that with the prudence of King Ji'an, he would never put such an important thing out of his reach, and eight ~ nine times out of ten were still in the study, otherwise why would he keep the study airtight?

When Qin was alive, he was deeply favored by the king of Ji'an, and often went in and out of this study. King Ji'an did not avoid him when he stored things, and sometimes he was interested, and he would hide some rare gadgets in the hidden grid mechanism and play treasure hunting games with him.

He searched several places with his childhood memories, but found nothing. Just when he decided to give up and find another way, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the pile of decorative bamboo slips, and his heart moved, and he touched it with his hand, and took out a box carved into the shape of bamboo slips from inside. Start with the heavy one, shake it and make a bang.

He tried for a while. Only then did he unscrew the bamboo slip box, and it was the head of the jade scepter that was placed inside. However, before he could take out the secret decree, the guard guarding the door became suspicious because he had been in the study for too long, and broke into the door to check it.

In a hurry, he put the bamboo slip back in its place, and the head of the jade staff was carried out in his arms.

Jian Ying knew that something must have gone wrong, and it was inconvenient to ask in detail on this occasion, so she just glanced at him worriedly.

Zhou Shu gave her a reassuring look, and said "act when the opportunity arises" with his mouth, signaling that he would find an opportunity to put the head of the jade staff back.

The two of them were eyebrow-to-eye, and Meng Xinniang was limped back by the mother-in-law. Someone from outside came to report. said that Ming Mei couldn't stand the cane punishment and had already choked her breath.

An aunt like her, who has no grade and died of a crime, is treated with the most inferior girl, and a collar of grass swept away. Pulled to the mass burial was buried. Wild dogs are infested there. After a short time of burying it, it will be dug out and eaten. It is that the person who leads this errand will not dig a pit and bury people in one more move, and they will just throw it away.

In order to show the generosity and benevolence of the palace, the king of Ji'an ordered a thin coffin to be prepared. The Ming Mei was decorated and sent to Yizhuang early tomorrow morning. Throw down a few dollars, and Yizhuang will bury her along with other nameless corpses. After all, it is more decent to be able to leave a grave bag than to throw a mass grave.

Zhu Xian's family was beaten on the board, although it was not fatal, but it was also half disabled. As a condition for confessing, Zhou Shu promised that she would secretly help her to ensure that her children would not be sold to fireworks venues. After that, it's not his business.

Compared with her, Fan Huo is much more miserable.

The matter has been settled, and of course the king of Ji'an will not mention sending him to the government again. At Huibai's request, Zhou Shu asked him to come and dispose of him in the second room.

King Ji'an nodded with his front foot, and Fan Huo's back foot was in Huibai's hand. first fed two elixirs used by the Jianghu people to heal his injuries and continue his life, and then treated him warmly and thoughtfully with Tie Cangzi dipped in salt water.

Fan Huo was tortured to death, alive and dead, and one foot had already stepped into the palace of Hades, but he couldn't breathe.

In the Falling Moon Hall, King Ji'an and the Fang family paid a lot of good words, praised Jian Ying again and again, and released their suspicions with the people of the Jian family. After gossiping for a while, Mrs. Jian was about to take her son and daughter-in-law to leave.

"It's past the curfew, and it's not appropriate to run around. If you don't dislike it, stay in the house for the night. Fang smiled and retained.

"Yes, grandmother, aunt, second uncle, second aunt, you can stay for one night." Jian Ying echoed casually.

I thought that there were only a few steps, and Mrs. Jian would not agree, but who knew that she pondered for a moment, and then nodded in response, "Since I returned to Jinan Mansion, I have been busy with such and such things, and I haven't spoken a few words seriously with the six girls."

The princess didn't bother to ask someone to clean up the guest room, so I stayed with the six girls. With the good intentions of the princess, our ancestors and grandchildren are close to each other. ”

"That's great." Fang clapped his hands, "The eldest wife and the second wife live in my courtyard, and the three of us sisters will also talk about ourselves." We don't care about the second master, so go on, prince. ”

King Ji'an laughed, "Okay, Brother Jane, you go to the study with me, I will ask someone to prepare two jars of good wine, clean up a few snacks, let's talk while drinking, and rest when we get drunk." ”

Second Master Jian stood up apologetically, "There are still many things in the mansion waiting for me and Humble Jing to go back and deal with, I'm afraid that I will live up to the prince's good intentions." In this way, when the eldest brother comes back from Mount Tai, he will take care of a table of banquets, and a few of our brothers will accompany the prince to have a good drink, what do you think? ”

There are so many bad things today, where is the King of Ji'an in the mood to chat and drink? It's just a polite remark, listening to what Second Master Jian said, he pretended to keep it, and let him and Second Mrs. Jian go back.

So the soldiers were divided into three ways, Jian Ying took Mrs. Jian back to Cailan Courtyard, Fang took Mrs. Jian back to Jingguo Courtyard, and King Ji'an and Zhou Shu sent Second Master Jian and Second Mrs. Jian out of the house.

After the husband and wife got into the carriage and left, the smile on King Ji'an's face suddenly dissipated, and his eyes swept Zhou Shu coldly, "Follow this king." ”

Zhou Shu was worried that he didn't have a chance to enter his study, so he returned the head of the jade staff, hurriedly agreed, and quickly followed.

The father and son entered the study one after the other, and before they could stand firmly, King Ji'an turned around and slapped Zhou Shu, "Rebel, you actually joined forces with your daughter-in-law to calculate the king." ”

This slap used a lot of force, and half of Zhou Shu's face immediately turned red.

He turned his face and looked at King Shangji'an angrily, "Why did my father say this? ”

"How dare you quibble?!" King Ji'an pointed at his nose and spit sporadically sprayed in his face, "You are a fool to be the king, can't you see that the two of you set a trap for tonight's incident?" ”

Zhou Shu looked at him for a long time, and a sneer slowly bloomed on his lips, "Trap? I'm afraid that it's not this that really makes my father angry, but because you failed to catch the handle of the Jian family, right? ”

was exposed by his words, and King Ji'an was annoyed and angry, "Rebel, how dare you talk to me like this?!" ”

He roared and raised his hands.

Zhou Shu was slapped coldly, where was he willing to accept this second slap obediently? Dodged in a flash, kicked over a half-human-high celadon vase placed next to him, picked up a candlestick, and smashed it on the desk......
