Chang'an City, University Scholar's House.

When Han Zhaozhi arrived at the university scholar's mansion, it was already almost dark, so he saw a bachelor whose eyes seemed to be able to emit a dim red light in the darkness, Mu Zhaotong seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, he was already not young, and it was estimated that he was about to enter the ancient world, and the blow of losing a child at this age can be imagined.

People like Han Zhaozhi felt a little frightened when they saw Mu Zhaotong's eyes, he walked from the darkness so he was not afraid of the darkness, and Mu Zhaotong was still dark at this moment, just like a white-haired but bloodthirsty old wolf.

"Bachelor?"

Han Zhaozhi screamed softly, Mu Zhaotong raised his head mechanically and glanced at him, and then slowly lowered his head, he sat behind the desk, and finger marks could be seen on the desk, so Han Zhaozhi looked at Mu Zhaotong's hands on the table, in addition to some fine powder of desktop wood paint, there were blood stains between the fingers, and the nail on one of the fingers had been turned up, and it hurt to look at it.

"Your Majesty asked me to ask the scholar if he has anything else to explain, and the lower official is going to take someone to the sailor to investigate the case."

"Confession?"

The scholar raised his head, and there seemed to be a light in his eyes for that moment.

"You are Han Zhaozhi, you are Han Zhaozhi who is afraid of ghosts!"

As if he had just reacted, he suddenly stood up, stumbled to the side of the cabinet and opened the cabinet door, took out a thick stack of silver tickets from it, and stumbled back and stuffed it into Han Zhaozhi's arms: "Take it, take it, you take it, it's all for you, you help me find out who killed Feng'er, help me cut him with a thousand knives, give it all to you." ”

Han Zhaozhi retreated again and again, and the silver tickets were scattered all over the ground.

"Scholar, you're out of shape."

"You don't like money?"

Mu Zhaotong trembled and pointed to the silver ticket on the ground: "You don't want this money?" I see, you don't love money, you love power...... Do you know who I am? I am a member of the cabinet of the dynasty, Your Majesty also wants to listen to me more, you can help you get promoted, you say you want, how many grades do you want to be an official? Three products, are three products enough? If it's not enough, it's a second product! ”

He suddenly rushed over and grabbed Han Zhaozhi's arms: "Kill him, kill him!" ”

Han Zhaozhi sighed softly: "Scholar, you really lost your temper. ”

At this moment, the door of the house creaked open, and Mu Zhaotong's wife came in with the support of the maid, looked at the mess in this room and couldn't help frowning, and whispered: "Help the old man to rest." ”

The two maids walked over quickly, and left the study with Mu Zhaotong in half.

The old lady slowly squatted down and picked up the silver tickets on the ground one by one, looked at the brazier in the room, and threw it into it casually, who knows how much silver it was.

"Please forgive Lord Han for his gaffe, no matter how strong and stable he is in the court, he is still a father, my son died tragically, how can I not be sad? If the old man's words and deeds disturbed Lord Han before, the old man apologized for him here. ”

She leaned over, and Han Zhaozhi hurriedly stretched out her hand to support the old lady: "Madame, I didn't see anything just now, the scholar was overly bedridden with grief, I didn't see the scholar today, I just saw you, Madame." ”

The old lady's face relaxed a little, and she bowed again: "On behalf of the Mu family, I thank Master Han." ”

"If the old lady is fine, the lower official will leave first, after all, he has to rush to Jiangnan Province."

"Then please ask Lord Han to enforce the law impartially and avenge my son as soon as possible."

"The Tingwei Mansion has always been fair in investigating the case."

Han Zhaozhi couldn't help but let out a long sigh after leaving the scholar's mansion, people like Mu Zhaotong are afraid that they can't withstand such a blow, judging from today's performance, I'm afraid it's useless.

The black carriage outside the door stopped quietly, and the emblem of the white balance on the carriage seemed to be able to exude a chill, obviously this was a yamen that presided over justice, but every mention of it made people shudder, and pedestrians on the street did not dare to approach when they saw this carriage, and they had to take two more steps to bypass when they passed by.

Han Zhaozhi got into the car and sat down, and after being silent for a while, he ordered: "Go to Yanta Academy." ”

After Han Zhaozhi left, Mu Zhaotong returned to the study, his wife asked people to come in and clean up the study, and the people were all frightened by the ghostly appearance of the master, and they didn't even dare to come out, so they hurriedly cleaned up the study and then retreated, leaving only Mu Zhaotong and his wife in the room.

After a long time, Mu Zhaotong took a few deep breaths, then looked out the window, and his wife immediately went over and closed the window.

"There's nothing wrong with my performance."

"Nope."

Madame's tone was a little heavy when she replied, because her heart was also hurting, very painful.

"Where did Han Zhaozhi come to ask me what I had to explain, if he went to the water division to investigate the case, if he could find out anything, he would be considered a ghost, His Majesty favored Zhuang Yong and favored the wild boy named Shen Leng, and arranged for the water division to go south, and the people from the Tingwei Mansion followed the water division to Pingyue Daoli to investigate, my son was killed in the water division camp, Bai Shangnian was killed on Yanping Island in Taihu Lake, and went to Pingyue Road to investigate a fart case!"

He slapped the table with a snap, Madame shook his head slightly, and Mu Zhaotong gasped to calm down as much as he could.

"Han Zhaozhi came to see what I look like, and he came to see it for His Majesty."

Madame said in a calm tone as much as possible: "You blame Your Majesty for favoritism...... You already want to kill him, and you blame him for favoritism? The old man's reaction just now was very good, and Han Zhaozhi shouldn't have seen anything. ”

"How can I make him see anything!"

Mu Zhaotong said coldly: "I have already sent someone to the cabinet to take leave, I have to play a madman now, a madman who has lost his mind because of the pain of losing his son, so that they think I am gone...... I deliberately let Han Zhaozhi see those silver tickets, and when he saw my gaffe, he would tell the emperor what he saw, I need time, and what I need most now is time. ”

"The wind won't die in vain."

Madame walked up to Mu Zhaotong: "I will make the person who killed Feng'er pay." ”

"Madam, don't worry about these things, I know that you are actually sadder than me, how can you not be sad when the wind is pulled by you, you are just afraid that I will also fall."

"Old man......"

Madame's eyes were red, and she finally couldn't help crying.

"I will let Your Majesty see a waste man as he wishes, only if I become a waste person, he will let his guard down, just want to move a water master, we have lost our son, this price is too great...... But that's why I'm going to make those people pay twice the price! ”

Mu Zhaotong continued to take deep breaths, but his face remained so gloomy.

The carriage of the Tingwei Mansion slowly moved forward along the street, although there was a holy order to go south to investigate the case, but Han Zhaozhi didn't seem to be in a hurry, because he knew very well that His Majesty was not in a hurry, if this case was found out clearly before the war between the sailor and the Qiuliren, then His Majesty would be unhappy, if it was found out clearly after the war between the sailor and the Qiuliren, His Majesty would still be unhappy, since he was not happy sooner or later, then why bother.

Han Zhaozhi was still in the mood to let his entourage buy some snacks halfway, and as soon as the carriage stopped in front of the vendor, the legs of the people who bought snacks were so frightened that their legs were weak, the hands that packed things were a little outrageous, and their teeth were chattering when they spoke.

Han Zhaozhi personally paid for the payment and let the person settle the bill, regardless of whether the vendor wanted to throw it on the stall or not, and left.

opened the oil paper packet, smelled the soup bag that had just come out of the pot, Han Zhaozhi breathed a comfortable breath, took a small bite and then sucked the soup, his face was satisfied.

The carriage stopped outside the Yanta Academy, and the gatekeeper immediately changed his face when he saw the carriage, even if he was the gatekeeper of the Yanta Academy, he was still in awe of this black carriage.

Han Zhaozhi didn't get out of the car, let someone report, just sat quietly in the carriage and sucked and ate his soup dumplings, and after eating, he carefully pinched up a grain of dough that fell on his clothes and put it in his mouth, and swallowed it with his teeth.

"The old dean, please come in."

The voice of his subordinates came from outside the carriage, and Han Zhaozhi breathed a sigh of relief and got out of the car.

There is a small lake in the academy, and the students like to walk by the lake, but at this time it is already winter, and it is already dark, who will walk outside, but the old dean is wrapped in thick clothes and sits on the bench by the lake waiting for Han Zhaozhi, who is always more afraid of the cold when he is older, and the old man who sits there keeps stomping his feet, which is a little cute.

Han Zhaozhi couldn't help but laugh when he saw the old dean sitting here: "Why be so careful? ”

The old dean also smiled: "How good this place is, I just specially ordered people to turn on the lights around here, so that people can see you and me, people have a habit of thinking, seeing you and I meet and chat by the lake, I will feel that we have nothing to say in private, it is very open, even if it is now dark, everyone has seen me chatting with you, how good it is." ”

Han Zhaozhi shook his head with a smile, and sat down on the bench next to the old dean: "The students came to ask, how long should the investigation take this time?" ”

"I'm afraid you already have the answer in your heart, why do you still come to ask me?"

"It's better to ask Mr. to be sure-footed."

"It's best if you don't have time."

The old dean laughed slyly: "Before the fight, you checked that it disturbed the morale of the army, and when you fought, you checked that it affected the battle situation, and after the fight, you still checked if you lost, and if you win, you also checked, and you were happy and mournful...... You said your errand was not bitter. ”

Han Zhaozhi said: "Actually, the students came this time because of another thing. ”

"Say."

"Du Yu Shi Lai Cheng is also a disciple of Mr., from Yanta Academy, this person can't splash water...... If the student doesn't find out anything after this investigation, then His Majesty will pass it well, and Yushitai will not pass it, and Lai Cheng will bite me. ”

The old dean laughed, and smiled back and forth: "People say that the people in your Tingwei Mansion are vicious dogs, and they are actually afraid that the Yushitai side will bite you." ”

"It's different, it's all His Majesty's dogs, the difference is that we bite the people Your Majesty asked us to bite, and those guys in Yushitai even bite Your Majesty."

The old dean smiled and said: "Yes, the people of Yushitai even bite Your Majesty, and if you bite Your Majesty, you have to say that you are welcome to bite it again next time." ”

People like Han Zhaozhi were amused by this sentence, and the corners of their mouths rose.

"I'll try my best to say it, you just said it, Lai Cheng's guy can't splash water, otherwise His Majesty won't let him take charge of the Yushitai."

"Thank you, sir."

Han Zhaozhi tidied up his clothes and felt that it was indeed too cold outside.

"Then the student will take his leave."

"You know why Your Majesty asked you to go to Pingyue Road."

"The student knows, investigate the case."

"Investigate the case......"

Han Zhaozhi stood up: "Some people think that South Vietnam has just been destroyed, and they will take advantage of it, and they have collected a lot of defeated soldiers from South Vietnam and weapons from the treasury. ”

The old dean nodded: "It's good if you understand, Your Majesty asked you to check, you can rest assured to check boldly, under the whole world, Your Majesty is the biggest." ”

Han Zhaozhi also laughed before, but the smile was not easy, he just smiled after the old dean's words, but the faint smile made people feel extremely relieved.
