Lan Ziyi laughed dumbly when he heard this, and he said:

"Lord Zhao, you are really joking, if I reflexively betray King De, I can't explain to anyone. The ministers of the inner court, life and death, honor and disgrace depend on the royal family, if I say that King De is not good, how can a few fathers-in-law end well? And Zhang Shoufu has long tied King De and Father-in-law Yu together, I framed King De is to trap Father-in-law Yu, how can I say that King De has nothing to do with Father-in-law? ”

Lan Ziyi was still standing in the room when he spoke, Zhao Tingzhu said that he had already felt a little exhausted, he couldn't sit down anymore after hearing the words, got up and approached Lan Ziyi, and said sincerely:

"Marquis Wei, the prince is the prince, the prince is the hope of Taisho, and to contribute to the prince is to serve Taisho, how can you betray it?"

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi snorted and said:

"The emperor is still here, Lord Zhao, you have ill intentions when you say this."

Zhao Tingzhu said again:

"Wei Hou, I just want you to tell the truth, you don't have to frame anyone."

Lan Ziyi said:

"To tell you the truth, I have always been a pioneer and worked the front line, and I have not heard of what Lord Zhang said about King De. Lord Zhao asked me to say that I didn't know, and I dared to say that this didn't let me frame others? ”

Lan Ziyi kept standing with his back to Zhao Tingzhu, and after he finished speaking, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Zhao Tingzhu with the rest of his eyes. At this time, Zhao Tingzhu was lowering his head, his eyes were scattered, wandering around, his eyes blinking rapidly, obviously anxious.

However, Zhao Tingzhu did not hesitate for too long, he licked his lips a few times and then took a step closer to Lan Ziyi, and then said:

"Weihou, I heard that King De really relies on Gonggong Long, and some people say that King De is afraid of Gonggong Long every time he sees him. Regardless of the fact that the prince is afraid of his ministers, just say that King De has the assistance of Gonggong Long, and Gonggong Long is there, how can Gonggong Yu make a living under King De? ”

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi turned around and stared at Zhao Tingzhu, and he said:

"Who did Lord Zhao listen to these things?"

Zhao Tingzhu had already raised his head at this time, he stared at Lan Ziyi's eyes without giving in, and said softly:

"I heard from people."

Then Zhao Tingzhu added

"King De is full of evil, and his dissolute appearance has long been spread all over the Lu alleys of the capital, and it is not surprising that I have heard some rumors."

Lan Ziyi smiled when he heard this, and Zhao Tingzhu's explanation was simply three hundred taels of silver here. The matter of the two fathers-in-law Long and Yu and King De analyzed by Zhao Tingzhu was obviously not his tone, and Lan Ziyi could almost conclude that Zhao Tingzhu must have been instructed behind him, and that person was very likely to be Zhang Mingyue.

It's just that Zhao Tingzhu spoke for Lan Ziyi in public about the royal ditch, which was going against Zhang Mingyue, but now Zhao Tingzhu was instructed by Zhang Mingyue, and this matter was very strange. But now Lan Ziyi doesn't have time to think about it carefully, he still has to deal with the current affairs of Zhao Tingzhu. 兰子义 says:

"Nothing will come to the wind, rumors are spread by someone because of this, Lord Zhao is a dignified gentleman, he should not do this kind of indiscriminate deed, but adults who easily listen to rumors will be substandard."

Zhao Tingzhu opened his mouth to refute when he heard this, but Lan Ziyi turned around and raised his hand to stop Zhao Tingzhu, he said:

"Lord Zhao, it's getting late, I also need to rest, please go back."

Then without waiting for Zhao Tingzhu to speak, he said loudly to the outside of the house:

"Someone! Drop-off! ”

Seeing Lan Ziyi like this, Zhao Tingzhu knew that he couldn't continue to talk today, so he turned around and left with a slight fist. It's just that at this point, something unexpected happened. After Lan Ziyi finished speaking, he thought that it should be a lady outside the house, but he suddenly remembered Qiu Xiaozhi's voice, and only heard Qiu Xiaozhi say:

"Lord Zhao, please come here."

Lan Ziyi was taken aback when he heard Qiu Xiaozhi's voice, because Lan Ziyi did not summon Qiu Xiaozhi to come, Qiu Wenruo's voice was too sudden at this time; Second, because the conversation with Zhao Tingzhu just now was too sensitive, Lan Ziyi has always paid attention to the outside of the house, but as a result, Qiu Xiaozhi didn't know when Lan Ziyi appeared, which was worth it.

Zhao Tingzhu didn't react much when he heard Qiu Xiaozhi's voice, he thought that this was Lan Ziyi's arrangement, if he looked back at Lan Ziyi at this time, he would find how surprised Lan Ziyi's expression was.

Qiu Xiaozhi walked to the door of the inner room with a lantern to greet Zhao Tingzhu, and after he nodded slightly to Lan Ziyi, Qiu Xiaozhi led Zhao Tingzhu in front, he said:

"Lord Zhao, the road is slippery when it's dark, and you can let the villain lead the way for the adults."

Hearing this, Zhao Tingzhu said politely as he walked:

"Qiu Xuexue can be a staff member of the Marquis, how can he dare to be called a villain? The pedant was polite. ”

As he spoke, he went out with Qiu Xiaozhi.

Lan Ziyi watched the two leave, and he didn't react until the lights outside the house were far away. Then Lan Ziyi sat back at the table and took a piece of dim sum and put it in his stomach. Usually a snack that can be swallowed in one bite, but this time Lan Ziyi ate it for a long time, he chewed it slowly, carefully thought about what Qiu Xiaozhi had overheard just now, and then slowly showed a smile.

After eating the snack, Lan Ziyi heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the house, and when the lantern was dimmed and the footsteps entered the house, Lan Ziyi pretended to be annoyed and asked:

"Mr. Xiaozhi, eavesdropping is not a good thing."

Qiu Xiao apologized when he heard this:

"Qiu Mou became a minister who chiseled the wall without the permission of the Marquis of Wei, which is very rude! Please punish the Marquis. ”

Lan Ziyi couldn't hold his face anymore when he heard this, he smiled and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and said to Qiu Xiaozhi:

"Mr. Xiaozhi, please take a seat, let's talk slowly."

After a conversation between Lan Ziyi and Zhao Tingzhu just now, the lamp oil and candles in the house have been worn out a lot, and the maids who were ordered to retire by Lan Ziyi now happen to follow Qiu Xiaozhi into the house to add oil to the lampstand and cut the wick of the candles.

After Lan Ziyi invited Qiu Xiaozhi to sit down again, he stopped talking, and the master and the slave sat across the table like this, silent. However, Qiu Xiaozhi didn't look a little nervous, his expression was very calm.

After the maids were busy leaving, Lan Ziyi smiled and asked Qiu Xiao straightly:

"When did the gentleman get to the door?"

Qiu Xiao said straightly:

"I heard that Zhao Tingzhu came to visit, so I rushed all the way, and when I got to the door, Zhao Tingzhu was already talking about King De.

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Why didn't Mr. Wen Ruo come?"

Qiu Xiao said straightly:

"I don't want to be a guest in the curtain."

Lan Ziyi laughed when he heard this, and he said:

So from the very beginning, he was determined to eavesdrop. Why don't you come in, gentleman? “

Qiu Xiao smiled and said:

"Sometimes eavesdropping is the way you hear more. If I enter the house, how can Zhao Tingzhu vomit as fast as tonight? “

Lan Ziyi laughed again when he heard this, and he said:

"Mr. Wen Ruo just saw this, and he didn't want to be a villain, so he didn't come?"

Qiu Xiao smiled and said:

"I do it to myself as a villain, and Wei Hou wants to punish me."

Lan Ziyi said:

"Although Mr. Wenruo is Linglang, he is not like you at all."

Qiu Xiao said straightly:

"I have two sons, but the eldest son, Wen Ruoming, is smart and up to the task. It's just that his head is stiff and he doesn't know how to be flexible, to put it bluntly, he reads the sage book to death. “

Lan Ziyi said:

"I think my husband is too alive to read the books of saints."

Qiu Xiaozhi didn't care about Lan Ziyi's sentence, he cut straight to the point:

"Zhao Tingzhu is loyal, and he is incompetent to be a lobbyist."

Lan Ziyi sighed and said:

"It's true that he's incompetent as a lobbyist, but that's the only way I can listen to what he says."

Qiu Xiaozhi stared at Lan Ziyi for a while when he heard this, and then he asked Lan Ziyi:

"What does Wei Hou think Zhao Tingzhu said?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"It's true."

Qiu Xiaozhi asked again:

"Then why does Wei Hou think Zhao Tingzhu wants to tell these truths."

Lan Ziyi thought for a while before speaking this time, and then asked rhetorically:

"Did Zhang Mingyue ask him to come?"

Qiu Xiao said bluntly:

"Since Wei Hou knows, why do you knowingly ask?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"But Lord Zhao spoke for me in the matter of Yugou before, and he didn't come with Zhang Mingyue to besiege me at that time, so why should he listen to someone's instructions this time?"

Qiu Xiao said straightly:

"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. After Zhao Tingzhu took charge of Dali Temple, I Dazheng claimed that there were no more unjust cases, and none of the prisoners locked up in the prison cried out for injustice. The last time he spoke for Wei Hou was due to his temperament, and this time he was forced to be helpless under Zhang Mingyue's instructions, which is not contradictory. ”
