Chapter 37: Clouds of Suspicion (II)

"What is this?" Zai Father Ao looked at the round metal in the soldier's hand, frowning slightly, very puzzled.

A young man in a green shirt, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "Back to my father, this thing was taken out of the throat of that bookkeeper Jin Qizi. ”

At this point, the young man deliberately paused for a moment, looked at everyone's expressions and continued: "There are many scratches and scars on the bookkeeper's body, and it is inferred that they should be from a woman. ”

Father Ao's heart sank, and he looked at the master minister quietly, but the master only stared at the round metal at this time, and his face was as blue as the color of the corners of his eyes.

And the young man in the green shirt was this year's champion of liberal arts Qiu Tong, he quietly glanced at Xia Han, the seventh prince, and saw that Xia Han's face was as usual, so he continued: "However, after a careful inspection, it was found that Jin Qizi was suffocated to death, not due to external oppression, but because of the suffocation of the guide zhì who was stuck inside, judging from this, Jin Qizi should have seen a familiar person, and after Jin Qizi realized that the other party wanted to put him to death, he mistakenly swallowed this ring to guide him to death in the battle. ”

After speaking, Qiu Tong raised the round metal ring wrapped in white cloth in his hand to the eyes of the two of them, so that the two of them could look carefully.

"According to the inspection, this metal came from Ruiling Pavilion, and it was confirmed below that this thing was indeed from Ruiling Pavilion, and it was created by the master of Ruiling Pavilion for 20 years, and it is the only one in the world."

Shi Xiang's face became more and more ugly as Qiu Tong's words fell, and in the end he seemed to be unable to support a few steps, but the Seventh Prince Xia Han was quick to help.

"Be careful." Xia Han smiled at the teacher, and the light in his eyes made the eyes of the Zai Father Ao on the other side narrow.

It's getting more and more incomprehensible.

Seeing each other, the teacher took a deep breath, opened his mouth a few times, and finally closed his eyes before he said the words, "This is what I gave to Xue Tao back then... Something that is in love. ”

What the?

As soon as the teacher's words came out, everyone in the room suddenly had different expressions, and Father Ao didn't have time to think about the key points, so he hurriedly said, "Have you read carefully?" ”

In fact, this is just redundant, Fang Qiutong has already said that this thing is only one in the world, where will you be wrong.

Shi Xiang had mixed feelings in his heart at this time, and he didn't answer, but this look explained a thing.

Father Ao covered his face with frost, and said in a deep voice: "I want to see the corpse first." ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to walk outside, Xia Han squinted at the back of Zai's father Ao, and then looked at Qiu Tong.

Qiu Tong immediately understood, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop him, "What does Lord Zai Father mean, don't you believe our criminal department?" ”

Dali Temple and the Criminal Department have never interfered with each other, and Qiu Tong stared at Zaifu Ao tightly and said, "Could it be that Lord Zaifu wants to break the rules?" ”

Zaifu Ao pursed his lips, but he didn't answer immediately, only gritting his teeth and gurgling.

After a while, he calmed down a little before he said: "The emperor ordered me and the Seventh Prince to investigate this case, I want to check the body, and you have a small middle school to stop me?" "Although Zai's father Ao was already angry about Qiu Tong's abandonment of Dali Temple and the election of the punishment department, now when he saw that Qiu Tong dared to commit the next crime, he was immediately angry.

said angrily: "You dare to disobey the emperor's order? ”

Autumn Tong was suddenly roared by his father Ao, and his thin body under the green shirt trembled, thinking that the folk had the title of King Ao Yama of his father, and it was indeed worthy of his name.

I still underestimate it.

"Tiantong, let Lord Zaifu take a look." Xia Han saw that Father Ao had made up his mind, and this was not the time to tear his face, so he spoke lightly.

A nonchalant look.

The oblique eyebrows are as green as feathers, and the eyes under the eyebrows are deep and dark, as if they are not illuminated by the sun all year round.

Zaifu Ao looked sideways, snorted coldly, and walked away.

Autumn Tong saluted and followed.

At this time, only the teacher and the minister were left in the house, a summer cold like admiring flowers in his own yard.

The teacher leaned with his back to the four directions, looking tired, as if he was more than ten years old for a moment.

Xia Han was not in a hurry, he looked at the spruce trees in bloom here, and then walked over there and touched the palm bamboo that had just grown today.

It's as if he doesn't care about the other party's talents.

Shi Xiang's thick eyebrows tightened and loosened, loose and tight, looking at the moon-white brocade coming and going in front of him, the corners of the clothes showed silver thread and bamboo patterns, elegant and noble, the color looked at the Shi Xiang's eyes moved, the light flashed slightly, but he couldn't see the real thoughts.

"Seventh prince, the old man has something to ask for." The teacher spoke to Xia Han, who smiled faintly.

Xia Han has always been polite to the teacher, and when he heard this, he nodded lightly, "The teacher might as well speak out." ”

The master minister's throat rolled and said, "Can you keep that ring to the old man?" ”

Xia Han was very surprised but seemed to think of something, and he knew very well, and was a little embarrassed, "Master, you also know that this thing is important evidence, how to give it to someone who has nothing to do with this case, this is not in line with etiquette!" ”

"What the Seventh Prince said is reasonable, but the old man has trespassed." After the master finished speaking, he closed his eyes and recuperated, waiting for his father Ao to return, with a posture of retracting his thoughts.

Xia Han tapped the ash noodles with his hand, his index finger and middle finger kept handing, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled at the teacher in front of him who closed his eyes and recuperated.

"Master, recently my father is worried about the big water in Quancheng, as a courtier, I should share my worries, and the palace has been thinking hard for many days before I came up with a way, but it's just ......" said this, Xia Han paused slightly, and saw that the master slowly opened his eyes, and then continued.

"It's just that the emperor thinks I'm unwell... It is not advisable to go to the watery place, alas. Xia Han inadvertently replaced the palace with me, and let out a long sigh, if ordinary people look at it, I am afraid that they will sigh, a loyal world can be expressed, a skill has nowhere to show, and he died before he left the school.

The spring city is flooded, the number of dead and injured is hundreds, the emperor has been sleepless for many days for this matter, even in the illness is not at ease, if the seven princes have a way but do not offer...... This is a strange statement.

The master thought about it and immediately understood, and couldn't help but slander in his heart, this matter is a great opportunity to buy people's hearts, the emperor has already had an idea in his heart to let the prince who has no political achievements go, the seventh prince is .......

Shi Xiangneng's status is as high as the sky, and it is unshakable, not only because of the emperor's appreciation, but also because he can maintain neutrality in the court and in the battle between the prince and the prince, and does not belong to any faction.

Because of the teacher's appearance, it has attracted a large number of literati and scholars, and they have spared no effort to worship the door, and now the doorman is up to last year's new champion to the martial arts righteous warrior... There are thousands of people, and it can be described as a school of its own.

Such a teacher will naturally become the object of everyone's wooing, but for so many years, with the emperor's trust and his own understanding, the master has been wise to protect himself and never participate in these open and secret battles.

At the moment, the master was about to refuse as always, "The Seven Princes have a good way and it is better to ......" The master said to his mouth, but suddenly remembered the ring......

So the words turned a corner, "It is better to offer to the emperor, if it is desirable at that time, the emperor will definitely entrust the important task, the people of the world are suffering, and the people want to govern the country, as the people of Northern Xia, how can they sit idly by." ”

"Good!" Xia Han got the answer he wanted, his eyebrows were open, and he smiled slightly, like the rising sun and the colorful glow steaming, bright and beautiful.

Unfortunately, no one appreciates it here.

Shi Xiang's eyebrows were faint, he stood up quietly, and said: "It's getting late, and I still ask the Seventh Prince to work hard about the murder of my master's mansion, and the old man will go back to the house first." ”

The Seventh Prince also got up to see each other off, and said, "Xiangye go slowly." ”

The teacher saw each other and hurriedly said: "Stay and stay, the old man will retire." Xia Han was just polite, but immediately went down the steps of the teacher, called Xia Xue outside to send him, and instead watched the teacher, and left without hurrying.

……

After about a stick of incense, Autumn Tong knocked on the door and entered, bowed down and reported, "Seventh Master, Father Ao has also returned home." "The results of the examination just done are all true, and even if Zai Father Ao personally examines it, he can't find anything else.

Autumn Tong knows.

Xia Han also knows.

Xia Han was reclining on the chaise longue behind the relief screen of the non-dancing crane at this time, the three-legged black stone tripod was burning with fine incense, and in the pale white and slightly cool smoke, the man's long hair was slightly scattered, his clothes were half a day, hanging down at will, and he lazily dragged his cheeks with his elbows.

The eyes that can make the world lose color in a moment are closed at the moment, and even the handsome eyebrows are slightly wrinkled, but there is no style/affection.

In the autumn, Tong didn't see a question from the top for a long time, and cautiously raised his eyes to look, but he happened to see this scene through the screen, looming.

Autumn Tong suddenly felt impetuous, and hurriedly lowered his head, ready to exit the door.

But I heard the person behind him come with a lazy magnetism, "You did a good job today, go back and rest early!" ”

When Qiu Tong heard this, his body was stunned, and then he realized that the person was talking to him, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, Seventh Master, Weichen retired." ”

At the age of three, he could read a thousand words, at the age of five, he could read the four books and the five classics by heart, at the age of eight, he was proficient in poetry and songs, and at the age of ten, he made the world's first Confucian bow down to the wind and became famous in the imperial capital.

At the age of eleven, he destroyed the nest of Jiangyang thieves and uprooted them to eliminate harm for the people, but unfortunately he was seriously ill and could not be in a damp place......

then gathered his edge, assisted the emperor and the crown prince, and maintained his obscurity......

After ten years of hard study, he finally came under his door, and today he can be praised, and the eight-foot man in the autumn is also difficult to hide his joy, and even the heavy steps that are caused by hard work on weekdays are much brisker.
