Linglong didn't speak, in the face of Yao Guangqi's speculation, she couldn't rule it out without evidence, because on the night Jiang Lian went to the Prince's Mansion, she ordered to visit the origin of those assassins, but no matter how she investigated, she couldn't find any clues, as far as the current situation is concerned, Yao Guangqi's inference is the most logical.

Zhu Di leaned back on the back of the chair, tilted his head, completely covered his eyes with his two hands, and looked very tired, then yawned again, and said weakly: "I'm tired, you go back to rest first, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

Coming out of Wen'an Xiaozhu, Zhu Neng grabbed Yao Guangqi and said with a smile, "It's so late, don't go back to you, let's go back to our courtyard for one night, I have a lot to say to you." ”

Yao Guangqi didn't want to toss anymore, so he simply stayed to sleep for one night, but still joked with Zhu Neng with a smile: "I'll go back and talk to you?" Don't delay you? Can your maid be happy? ”

Zhu Neng was not embarrassed to be said, but he couldn't refute anything, so he had to smile, and deliberately diverted the topic: "I have a new idea, let's discuss it first." ”

Yao Guangqi didn't continue to tease, but Linglong spoke behind him, but his tone was still so cold: "In the past two days, you can stop for two days, or let your girl Peony be quieter!" Do you have to get everyone to know about it? I'll move out in two days, and I'll be up to you as much as you want to toss and shout when the time comes. ”

Zhu Neng was even more embarrassed, deliberately pretending not to hear, and walked forward by himself.

Zhu Di, who was preoccupied, almost didn't sleep all night, got up early the next morning, and before dawn, he came to the small courtyard of Yao Guangqi and others alone, walked around the courtyard, and then entered the courtyard, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Linglong sitting at the small stone table in the courtyard eating breakfast, Zhu Di said with a smile: "I finished dressing up so early, I don't care about this time, why don't you sleep for a while?" ”

Linglong originally had a straight face, and when she saw Zhu Di, her cheeks flushed slightly unconsciously, but her attitude was still cold, and she pointed to Zhu Neng's room, "...... early in the morning, how can people sleep?" His face turned redder as he spoke.

Zhu Di was puzzled, walked to Zhu Neng's window, heard the wheezing and moaning in the house, and immediately understood that Zhu Di came over and felt that this kind of thing didn't matter, and deliberately said loudly through the window: "Zhu Neng's maid is serving well, let the princess reward her something tomorrow." ”

Zhu Di's words alarmed the people inside, and the sound in the house immediately stopped. Not long after, Zhu Neng pushed the door out with a red face, but Zhu Di was no longer outside his window, but in front of Yao Guangqi's window.

It just so happened that Yao Guangqi's girl Xiyan walked in from outside the courtyard with breakfast, and when she saw Zhu Di here, she hurriedly knelt down, lowered her head and said, "Lord Wang, Yao Gongzi is tired, and he slept when he came back last night." ”

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Neng, and suddenly became childlike, and teased the inkstone: "I heard it, I was sleeping, you didn't go in to serve last night?" ”

In a word, the face of the inkstone was flushed, and I didn't know how to answer, but the prince asked, and he couldn't help but answer, so he could only reluctantly say: "Which brand am I on, and she doesn't want me to serve me." ”

Zhu Di laughed, turned around and looked at Yao Guangqi's room, and said with a smile: "Forget it, he has always been short of women, and it is estimated that there is no shortage of romance outside, let him sleep." It just so happens that I didn't have breakfast, so I'll eat this meal, and when he wakes up, you can get it for him. ”

As soon as Xi Yan heard that the prince wanted to eat, he nodded his head in a hurry, quickly stood up, looked around, but couldn't find a place to cloth vegetables, and said with a bitter face: "Prince, it's windy outside, the slave maid will bring you in the house, right?" ”

Zhu Di said with a smile: "No, just put it next to Linglong, I'll just eat with her." ”

Xi Yan hurriedly came to Linglong with a tray, and Linglong's girl also stepped forward to help Xi Yan serve the dishes, Zhu Di came to the stone table and said with a smile: "Yes, the combination of meat and vegetables is quite acceptable." As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and drank the porridge, then took a sip of fried magnolia, and nodded in praise: "Who is the cook who cooks for you?" It's a lot more attentive than what I made, and the taste is just right, and sometimes I can't eat the rice I get it. ”

At this time, Yao Guangqi had already pushed the door out, stood at the door, and looked at Zhu Di eating with a smile. Zhu Di put down the bowl and waved his hand: "I ate your food, go back and let them get it for you again." ”

Yao Guangqi walked over with a smile, seeing that Zhu Di was in a good mood, knowing that Zhu Di had already figured it out, he casually picked up a goat's milk steamed cake, put it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "No need, I'll leave after eating, I've already finished touching Zhu Neng with other things, and we're going to go our separate ways." ”

Zhu Di looked back at Zhu Neng, and teased with a smile: "Are you tired?" Would you like to take a break? If you're not tired, let's talk about what you're going to do in a moment. ”

Zhu Neng was embarrassed, blushing and lowering his head, at this time, Zhu Neng's maid Peony also walked out of the room, she also heard Zhu Di's ridicule, she didn't dare to stay, and after saluting Zhu Di, she quickly came to Zhu Neng's side and whispered, "I'll get you breakfast." ”

Yao Guangqi also walked up to Zhu Neng, patted Zhu Neng's shoulder, squeezed his eyes and said, "Listen, I'll fetch you food, who are you, who are you." ”

Zhu Neng was extremely embarrassed, but Zhu Di laughed when he heard it, Linglong lowered his head and pursed his lips and laughed, and there was a sound of joy in the small courtyard.

That night, as soon as it was dark, Yao Guangqi left the Yanwang Mansion.

Yao Guangqi was relaxed when he came out of the palace, because Zhu Di had agreed to his plan, his heart knot was untied, and the next step was to meet this Kaiji for a while.

Yao Guangqi knew that as the secretary of the criminal department, Kaiji must be very uncomfortable at this time, there were three cases in his hands, two were against the king of Qin, and one was against the king of Yan, and the two vassal kings were difficult to provoke, but the case came out at the same time. If you do it hard, it is equivalent to being involved in the party struggle for succession, and you can't pick it up if you want to, and you can't wash it if you want to, so don't do it, and in that key position, the responsibility is in the body, and the government and the opposition are staring at themselves, whether to do it or not, it is really difficult to ride a tiger.

Yao Guangqi naturally won't come forward openly, he needs someone to cover for him. He followed Wen Zhixin to see Kaiji, and his identity was a subordinate of Yan Wangfu, and he seemed to be Wen Zhixin's follower.

As soon as Kaiji heard that King Yan's Mansion had sent someone to see him, he was stunned at first, he never expected that King Yan would send someone to see him in the yamen, but then he smiled with relief, and thought to himself, King Yan is really a smart person with a good skill.

Thinking about the mystery, Kaiji hurriedly sorted out the official uniform and greeted him in person, just like that, Kaiji, the secretary of the Criminal Department, met with Wen Zhixin, the chief of the Yanwang Mansion, in front of the Yamen of the Criminal Department.

As soon as Kaiji came out, he saw three people standing under the steps outside the yamen, the one in his thirties in the middle, calm and calm, and he knew at a glance that this person was the leader. Kaiji walked down the steps with a smile, and the two principals who were waiting outside the yamen saw that Lord Shangshu was personally out to greet him, and hurriedly trotted to Kaiji, and asked to say hello to Kaiji with a smile, Kaiji waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to, and walked straight to the person in the middle.

The person in the middle saw a person in a second-grade official uniform walking out, and he had already decided that this was the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, so he hurriedly took two steps forward with a smile, and the director of the Criminal Department on the side of Kaiji hurriedly introduced: "My lord, this is Shi Wen Zhixin, the head of Yanwang Mansion, Wen Changshi, this is our Master Shangshu of the Criminal Department." ”

Although Wen Zhixin is the housekeeper of the palace, he also carries the title of the five grades of the imperial court, so according to the rules, he has to salute when he sees the official. Although we meet for the first time, we don't have to be too rigid about etiquette, but it's good to get down to business. ”

If you open your mind, you will be flexible if you have a compromise, which not only gives Wen Zhixin and Zhu Di face, but also saves yourself from unnecessary trouble, Yao Guangqi, who is standing next to Wen Zhixin, is very impressed when he listens to it, he really deserves to be a veteran of officialdom, and this ability to change power is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Wen Zhixin is also well-informed, and he secretly admired Kaiji's words, he said with a smile: "Then it will be straight to the point, it is rumored in Beijing, the criminal department has now found evidence of Yan Wang's collusion against the party, especially a big case a while ago, the evidence involved in the case is related to the Beiping crossbow newly equipped by my Yanshan guard, Yan Wang learned of this, he was deeply disturbed, in order to facilitate the investigation of the adults of the Criminal Department, he specially ordered to send a Beiping crossbow, Yan Wang also said, if the adults think it is necessary, He could send a few sergeants who were proficient in using the Beiping crossbow to the Criminal Department to demonstrate how to use it. Saying that, Wen Zhi waved his new hand, and one of the attendants behind him immediately held up the big box in his hand and presented it to Kaiji with both hands.

It was Yao Guangqi who was holding the Beiping crossbow to Kaiji, he was holding the box with both hands, but his eyes were always observing Kaiji's demeanor, only to see Kaiji standing in place, neither speaking nor reaching out to take the box. Seeing this, Yao Guangqi neither urged nor stopped, and the two sides were deadlocked.

Kaiji was indeed stunned, because his head was running at a high speed, did Zhu Di rebel against his own army? Kaiji was confused. Because according to common sense, if Zhu Di really did it, it was too late for him to hide the evidence, how could he take the initiative to send it to the door to let him verify the evidence? Therefore, generally speaking, if you dare to take the initiative to send someone to help find out the evidence, and you can generously say that you can send someone to demonstrate, this is equivalent to telling everyone that there is no ghost in the heart of King Yan.

This is really a clever move, Zhu Di is equivalent to clarifying himself before the result of the case comes out, which is equivalent to putting himself in an invincible position.

But as the person who investigated the case, he was a little embarrassed, because he received the Beiping crossbow, if it was really found out that the murderer in the Shen Lou case really held the Beiping crossbow, what should he do at that time?

Wen Zhixin saw that Kaiji was stunned, so he reminded Kaiji with a smile: "My lord! My lord! This Beiping crossbow, do you think we sent it to you? Or ......"
