———— the following text————

That night, Yiwang Zhao Yuanyan went to a banquet in the mansion of a certain gentleman surnamed Cui in Daliang City.

After drinking almost heartily, an entourage came to Zhao Yuanling's side and whispered in his ear: "Lord Wang, someone is looking for your whereabouts." ”

Zhao Yuanyan raised his glass for a moment, and his eyes showed a little doubt and deep thought.

Inner Chamberlain? Gong Wei Division? Not really......

"Who?" Zhao Yuanli asked in a low voice.

The attendant whispered, "Those men all carry short daggers and talk in a foreign language...... If I guessed correctly, it should be Shangshui Green Crow. ”

Is it Hongrun's people? What are Hongrun's people staring at me for?

Zhao Yuanli pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Don't act rashly. ”

"Don't worry, the prince." The attendant whispered, "I have told my men to disperse." ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Yuanli nodded, and then apologized to the Cui family master who entertained him not far away, as well as the rest of the guests present.

"I'm sorry, guys, but it's a bit personal."

The gentleman of the Cui family waved his hand again and again, and the rest of the guests did not dare to say yes.

After drinking about three glasses like this, Zhao Yuanyan put down his wine glass, and said apologetically to Master Cui and the guests present: "Master Cui, thank you for your hospitality this time, this king has just learned about a matter that needs to be dealt with, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

In fact, the scene just now, Master Cui and the guests present all saw it in their eyes, knowing that this Yi Wang Ye had something to do temporarily, so they didn't care, after all, this Yi Wang Ye, although he has no power in the court, is undeniably the most well-connected person in the entire Wei State.

It is too late for them to be careful, and they will have resentment in their hearts.

"Cui sent it to the prince."

After saying a few words to the guests present, Master Cui personally sent King Yi Zhao Yuanyan to the carriage at the entrance of the mansion.

At this time, Cui's gentry spoke: "Today, Prince Yi came to the banquet, and it is really a humble house. …… Cui prepared a thin gift, and hoped that Prince Yi would not refuse. ”

"Master Cui is too polite." Zhao Yuanyan waved his hand again and again.

However, the Cui gentleman smiled mysteriously: "The Cui family knows that ordinary things like gold, silver and jewelry, even if they are valuable, you are not lacking in them, and they are not rare, but Cui's gift, you should like it." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand to pick up the carriage of King Yi's mansion, and saw that in the carriage, there were three beautiful women sitting like flowers and jade, all of them delicate.

That's a ......

Zhao Yuanli couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and at this time, the Cui master seemed to be afraid that Zhao Yuanli would return this gift, so he actually gave his hand and said goodbye: "Lord, there are still other guests in the house, and it is inconvenient for Cui to stay for a long time, so I won't give it to the prince." …… Be careful on the road, and rest early tonight. ”

After that, he left Zhao Yuanli and hurried back to his mansion as if he had escaped.

Zhao Yuanli shook his head and smiled bitterly, but looking at his expression, he seemed to have long been used to it.

It's no wonder, after all, Zhao Yuanyan's connections are all over the Wei Kingdom, and I don't know how many wealthy gentry of the family are vying to treat him as a guest, and every time he goes out to a banquet, he can always receive some special gifts from time to time.

He's used to it, too.

But right now, he didn't have the heart to deal with such a thing.

Still not out yet?

Quietly glancing at the alley opposite, Zhao Yuanyan deliberately pretended to get into the carriage.

At that moment, there was a playful laugh in the alley, and a figure walked out.

"Sixth uncle, are you very lucky?"

"Huh?" Zhao Yuanyan turned his head to look at the person who came, his face showed a little surprise, and he said with great surprise: "Hongrun? How did you end up here? ”

It turned out that the person in the alley was none other than Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

"Naturally, I'm waiting for the sixth uncle here." Zhao Hongrun walked out with a smile, and when he walked in front of Zhao Yuanyan, he slowly put away the smile on his face, and said, "Sixth Uncle, Hongrun has something to ask Sixth Uncle." ”

"Tomorrow?" Zhao Yuanli asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun glanced at the carriage of Yiwang's Mansion next to him, and asked with a smile: "Sixth uncle, are you so anxious?" ”

"What nonsense!"

Zhao Yuanyan knew very well that the nephew in front of him had been waiting here for a long time with his Shangshui Green Crow, and of course he knew what was in the carriage.

He shook his head helplessly, and instructed his entourage on the left and right: "You go back to the palace first." ”

"Yes, lord."

Several attendants walked to the carriage with their heads bowed, and drove the carriage of Yiwang's Mansion back to the house first.

They didn't dare to raise their heads, because they knew very well that there were many peers of Shangshui Green Crows in the vicinity, and it was very dangerous for their peers to collide with their peers, and maybe a glance would reveal their details.

After all, in the final analysis, Shangshui Green Crow is not a weak hand.

At this time, Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao had already driven a carriage from the Su Wangfu and slowly came out of that alley.

"Sixth uncle, please." Zhao Hongrun raised his hand and said.

"......" Zhao Yuanli glanced at his nephew, instinctively sensing that something must have happened, but he was not worried.

After all, just as he won't hurt the nephew in front of him, the nephew in front of him won't hurt him either.

Zhao Yuanli stepped into the carriage, and Zhao Hongrun followed closely behind, and the two sat opposite each other in the carriage.

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun didn't mean to speak, Zhao Yuanyan asked, "Hongrun, why did you come in such a hurry to find the sixth uncle?" ”

I saw Zhao Hongrun take out a wooden box from his arms, and after opening it, he pinched out a piece of wood silk from the thumb and index finger of his right hand, a piece of wood silk that had been roasted by the fire, baked to black in the middle and rolled up at both ends.

At the same time, he looked at Zhao Yuanyan intently, and said, "Sixth Uncle, you have to give me an explanation." ”

Zhao Yuanli felt confused at first, but after staring at the wooden wire carefully for a while, he finally understood, and said with a wry smile: "What explanation do you want, Hongrun?" ”

I saw Zhao Hongrun staring at the sixth uncle in front of him, and said: "This wooden silk was found by me in the treasury of the Ministry of Officials, under a certain wooden frame compartment...... There, it was deliberately roasted with fire, it should be to cover up something, for example, to cover up the clues left by Master Zhou Yanzhou, the secretary of the Criminal Department. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, stared at Zhao Yuanyan's face and continued: "I have asked the guards on duty near the storehouse, and I learned that in the recent days, except for Lord Chu Shuli, the head of the Great Liang Mansion, who ordered the guards to thoroughly investigate the entire storehouse, only me and you, Sixth Uncle, have been to the storehouse with oil lamps......"

"......" Zhao Yuanli didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Hongrun.

“…… I didn't fail to interpret Zhou Shangshu's case that day, I just ignored one thing, that is, the placement of Wang Ling's official register that I thought was actually the result of the guards not placing it as it did at the beginning. …… The real location is not there, but the wooden frame next to it, which is where you stood that day. …… Because of the position, I didn't notice those words at the time, but Uncle Six, you did, and, after I left, baked those words with an oil lamp to cover them up...... Right? ”

This kid......

Zhao Yuanli looked at Zhao Yuanling, and was really shocked in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yuanyan didn't want to admit it at first, but looking at the clear and sincere eyes of the nephew in front of him, he let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "Ah, you didn't fail that day, your talent once again amazed the sixth uncle." ”

This is a disguised admission.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun's face changed suddenly, and he asked a little nervously, "Sixth uncle, why are you doing this?" …… Does this matter have anything to do with you? ”

Zhao Yuanli smiled bitterly, and then said with a smile: "If I say that this matter has nothing to do with the sixth uncle, do you believe it?" ”

"I believe it!" Zhao Hongrun said categorically: "From childhood to adulthood, the sixth uncle has never deceived me. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yuanyan was moved, he nodded silently, and said with a sigh: "Since you believe in the sixth uncle, it doesn't hurt that the sixth uncle will reveal it to you." …… In fact, Sixth Uncle I rushed back from Sanchuan Luocheng day and night, because Sixth Uncle I received the news that Zhou Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was killed, and I wanted to find out who did it. Speaking of this, he took a deep look at Zhao Hongrun and said with a smile: "Because of your amazing deduction that day, Sixth Uncle I have already seen the words left by Zhou Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, at that time, and I also know what the whole thing is about." ”

"What's going on?" Zhao Hongrun hurriedly asked.

However, at this time, Zhao Yuanyan shook his head and said: "Hongrun, this matter is the grievance of my generation, and it has nothing to do with you and other juniors, I don't want you to be involved and implicated...... If you have to ask who the murderer of Zhou Shangshu is, Sixth Uncle, I can only tell you that it is the soul of some clans. Other than that, don't ask too much, and I won't reveal it to you Uncle Six. ”

……

Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth and asked quietly, "Are those clans who were executed for rebellion in the second year of Hong De?" ”

Zhao Yuanyan was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile: "You don't have to talk to me, although I am not as smart as you, Sixth Uncle, I will not be caught up in your words." You don't have to meddle in this matter anymore. Speaking of this, he vaguely reminded: "In fact, not only the sixth uncle and me, but even your father and emperor will not want you to know about this. Got it? ”

Zhao Hongrun pursed his lips, licked his somewhat dry lips with his tongue, and said in a low voice: "It's a ...... What his father didn't want to mention that damaged his image as a Ming monarch was like joining forces with Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, to capture the Song Land and abandon the Dangjun Youma, right? ”

Zhao Yuanli was stunned, and then said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that you still know this kind of thing." …… It's hard that you didn't use these things against your father. ”

"Uncle Sixth thinks I don't know the severity?" Zhao Hongrun pursed his lips and said: "If the old man spreads any scandal, his face will be embarrassed, isn't it?" ”

"Hehehe, your father didn't hurt you in vain." Zhao Yuanling laughed and teased.

After that, he saw that Zhao Hongrun wanted to speak again, so he shook his head and blocked the latter's words.

"Don't ask more, I won't answer Uncle Six."

"......" Zhao Hongrun looked at Zhao Yuanyan depressedly, and suddenly, he asked, "Then the sixth uncle will answer my other question." ”

"Okay, you say." Zhao Yuanling asked with a smile.

I saw Zhao Hongrun looking at Zhao Yuanyan and said in a low voice: "Sister Yulong, what is your relationship with Sixth Uncle?" Why has your attitude towards her, Sixth Uncle, changed so much? ”

"......" The smile on Zhao Yuanling's face suddenly froze. (To be continued.) )
