After the pawnshop was handed over to Zhang Cheng, Kou Ji was also a matter of concern.

Just wait for Liu Mei to lift Liu Heng's ban and explain it to Liu Heng, and he doesn't need to worry about the pawnshop anymore.

Kou Jiwan refused Zhang Cheng's invitation to eat and drink, and rushed to the house with a sedan chair.

On the way home, Koji did not encounter another assassination.

I don't know if it was Zhang Lun's accountability inspection department that played a role, or if the assassins discovered Yuyou's identity, so they didn't act rashly.

The door at the gate of the mansion was a little surprised when he saw Kou Ji returning to the house.

It stands to reason that Kou Ji reported to the Criminal Division on the first day and should not have come back so early.

But he didn't dare to ask more.

Greeted Kou Ji and entered the house.

When bypassing the shadow wall, Menzi reminded Kou Ji in a low voice, "The master is back, stay alone in the main hall, and no one will be allowed to enter." Little master, you better go and have a look......"

Kou Ji was slightly stunned and nodded.

When he arrived at the door of the main hall, Kou Ji saw that the door of the main hall was open, and Kou Zhong and his party stayed outside the door, hunched over and waiting.

Kou Zhong saw Kou Ji, and after giving the salute, he said cautiously: "The master has ordered, no one is allowed to disturb ......."

Kou Ji frowned and said in a low voice, "How long has it been since Grandfather came back?" ”

Kou Zhong said in a low voice, "It's been more than an hour. ”

Kou Ji frowned and asked, "Didn't you say anything about the palace?" ”

Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I'll go in and see ......"

Kou Ji said casually and walked towards the main hall.

Kou Zhong wanted to stop him, but he was glared at by Kou Ji, and stood obediently in place.

Kou Ji stepped into the main hall, and saw Kou Zhun sitting alone at the table in the hall, pouring himself a drink.

He half-raised his head and looked at the pillar beside him, his eyes a little distracted.

Kou Ji didn't find hot water or a small stove on the table.

Kou Ji frowned and stepped forward, snatched the wine glass in Kou Zhun's hand, and sighed: "Grandfather, drinking cold wine hurts your body......"

Most of the liquor of this era is rice wine and the like, sweet and sour, with a slight wine taste.

It was the middle of spring, and the weather was still a little cold.

With Kou Zhun's body of nearly sixty years old, he is not suitable for drinking cold wine.

Kou Zhun was snatched away from the wine glass, and slowly came back to his senses, he did not blame Kou Ji, but said in a low voice: "You were assassinated?" ”

Kou Ji nodded, "I met, twice, both of them were done by Taoists." ”

After saying this, he instructed Kou Zhong outside the door, "Go find a small stove, and let the kitchen prepare a few dishes, I will accompany my grandfather to have a good chat." ”

Kou Zhong agreed outside the door and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare.

When Kou Zhun heard this, a trace of warmth arose in his heart.

His children and grandchildren are on his knees, caring for him, and taking care of him, which is what his heart desires.

It's a pity that I can't ask for it.

Now Kou Ji has shown his concern for him, which makes his heart warm.

He stared at Kou Ji and sighed: "Although the old man is in a position of power and power, he can't mobilize the power of the government to help you get justice from the Taoists.

Once the old man speaks, the entire Taoist family is likely to be unlucky.

Those Taoists who assassinate the court officials for the sake of harming the people can move, but Taoists can't move.

If you move the way, the Buddha will rise, and if you move the Buddha, you will rise.

The two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, checking and balancing each other, are what the imperial court wants.

The old man believes that you should be able to understand this truth. ”

Kou Ji nodded, "Understood......"

Kou Zhun nodded with satisfaction and said, "But don't worry, the old man will send documents to the yamen, so that they can catch your assassin as soon as possible, eliminate those remnants of assassins, and keep you safe." ”

Kou Ji arched his hand and said, "Thank you, grandfather......"

Kou Zhun laughed and said, "Drink two glasses with the old man......"

Kou Ji sat across from Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhong asked people to carry a small stove, as well as a few pots of new wine and a few dishes, to the main hall, and after putting it down, he withdrew from the main hall.

Kou Ji helped Kou Zhun cook wine, and Kou Zhun picked up his chopsticks and ate the food alone.

After a long time, the wine was hot, and Kou Ji poured it for Kou Zhun.

After seeing Kou Zhun drink a cup of wine, Kou Ji poured wine and asked, "The queen didn't embarrass you in the court today, right?" ”

Kou Zhun held the wine glass and glanced at Kou Ji, but did not speak.

Kou Ji was stunned and stared at Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun sighed, "Speaking of which, you may not believe it, the queen appeared in the Shishitang today, not only did she not embarrass the old man, but she relied on the old man in everything." The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, headed by the old man; The inner court is three zai, and the old man is on top; The words spoken by the old man were all obeyed by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji frowned, and then frowned again.

He muttered in a low voice, "It shouldn't be......"

After hesitating again and again, Kou Ji said again: "The queen is not such a person who is so easy to succumb......"

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all, "You can see how the old man can't see it." The reason why the queen depends on the old man in everything, and lets the old man everywhere, the old man knows what kind of calculations she makes. ”

"What abacus?"

Kou Ji asked.

Kou Zhun sighed and said, "The old man can only tell you that the queen used a yang strategy to deal with the old man. Above board, without a trace of hiding and disguise. However, the old man knew that it was a conspiracy, so he had to drill into it. ”

Kou Ji smiled bitterly, "Grandfather doesn't plan to say it explicitly, is he going to let me guess for myself?" ”

Kou Zhun smiled, "When you see through the queen's conspiracy, the old man will make an exception and help you lift the official." ”

Kou Ji was about to open his mouth.

Kou Zhun smiled and said, "The old man can see that you want to help the old man." But your current official is too low to help the old man. The old man was worried that you would become the second Ding Wei before, but now the old man is not worried. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?" ”

"Why?"

Kou Zhun said with a smile: "Because the old man heard Li Di say that the queen found an excuse and expelled Cao Xu from the East Palace, but the prince did not abandon his martial arts because of this. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he said weakly: "This is ...... with me It doesn't matter......"

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said with a smile: "Do you think Chen Lin will really keep his mouth shut?" ”

Kou Ji's eyes immediately widened, and he looked worried.

Kou Zhun seemed to see Kou Ji's thoughts, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, Chen Lin only told the official family, and it was the official family who told the old man." The official asked the old man to tell you that he would not tell anyone about it.

He also said that you have affection and righteousness for the prince, and he is very relieved.

You're a student, he didn't make a mistake.

It's just a little too talkative, remember to be a little more restrained in the future.

When he heard that you were going to do something, he specially asked the old man to pass on an oracle to you, so that you could do it boldly.

He said that he would like to see what he can achieve in his lifetime, the only student. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, his face was expressionless and silent.

But in his heart, he was already ashamed, and he longed to find a crack in the ground to get into.
