Shi Shi was wrapped in a fur coat, barefoot, half-lying, listening to Zhang Bao's report on what he had investigated.

"After checking for a long time, I haven't figured out who sent those two men in black!"

"Yes......" Zhang Bao responded: "King Ning claimed that he didn't know anything about the man in black, and the mobilization of the soldiers and horses of the patrol battalion was just a noble word to go and answer!" And Gao Shangzhi said that he didn't know those two people at all. ”

"Hehe, that's weird! The person who saved me didn't want to reveal his identity! There are still such people in the world! Shi Shi said with a smile.

"Wei Chen thinks it's strange that at this point, why Gao Shangzhi's reaction is a little unpredictable......"

"What does it mean to be unpredictable?" Shi Shi sat down slightly and asked.

"What kind of mistake is the noble one, he should know in his heart that if His Majesty really wants to kill him, a hundred of his heads will not be enough to cut off! But he didn't seem to be worried about it at all. Zhang Bao said, pondered for a while, and then said: "Although he keeps claiming that he has seen through life and death, and is not confined to things. But Wei Chen felt that there was no one in this world who was not afraid of death, and when the knife was really on his neck, there must be a little panic in his heart, unless he felt that he couldn't die! ”

"You mean that the noble one is sure that I will not kill him!"

Zhang Bao nodded slightly and said, "Weichen thinks that he should mean this!" ”

"I am now the Ninety-Five! The life and death of all are in my hands! He is a noble old bone, how can I think I will not kill him? Shi Shi had a feeling of being provoked, and he was very unhappy in his heart, and said: "At present, it seems that he is gracious to me, but the death of the first emperor has nothing to do with him!" This old thing is overconfident! ”

Zhang Bao shook his head and said, "I think that there are other reasons why noble people can be so calm. ”

"What is the reason?"

"Wei Chen believes that the news of his noble and benevolent to His Majesty will soon spread to the Zhao State, and the merit is no greater than the Savior, he has neither formed a party to run a dictatorship for personal gain, nor has he bent the law to raise troops to rebel, Your Majesty killed him, for what reason?" Zhang Bao thought for a while, and then said: "That's right, the power of life and death is indeed in the hands of Your Majesty, but if you think about it carefully, you can't kill it easily!" As soon as His Majesty came to the throne, he killed him on trumped-up charges, and he couldn't stop the mouth of the world......"

"A trumped-up charge? What kind of bullshit secret medicine he sacrificed, killed the first emperor, is this crime still small! ”

"Your Majesty! Think about it, if you kill Gao Gao for this crime, then how can the face of the first emperor remain? If it is spread out, it will be laughed at by Xianbei Huns and others! Zhao Guo will also lose face because of this! ”

Shi Shi frowned slightly, as if he was thinking in his heart.

"The most important thing, the minister thinks that at least for now, he can't kill him!" Zhang Bao looked at Shi Shi calmly and said, "There must be some secret in the noble body that we don't know!" Who is the incomprehensible force he refers to? The minister has no clue, the minister believes that the Xihua Marquis Mansion doesn't know what this sentence means! ”

"You mean, keep the noble one, and through him, find out the black hand that has been hidden?"

"Yes!" Zhang Bao nodded and said: "Wei Chen and Min Gongzi have also discussed this matter today, and the two of us agreed that the man in black who assassinated His Majesty on the street a few days ago has something to do with the so-called mastermind behind the scenes!" But this person wants to save His Majesty, but he assassinates His Majesty, I don't know what his intentions are! Whether it is friend or foe, Weichen can't tell for the time being. ”

"I'll leave this matter to you, be sure to find out for me!"

"Wechen obeys!" Zhang Bao kowtowed in response, and then asked, "That noble ...... What does Your Majesty plan to do with it? ”

"Rong Zhen think about it!" Shi Shi said, pursed his lips, and said, "Speaking of the assassin of that day!" I haven't had time to take care of this matter these days, how is the next investigation? Any news? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, not yet!"

"Who is it up to?"

"It's still handed over to the patrol battalion of His Royal Highness King Ning!"

"The third child, it's really mud that can't support the wall!" Shi Shi scolded: "Obviously, I have a meritorious role in saving the driver, but I don't want to reward him!" said that he had no ability, he obeyed the people of the patrol battalion, and said that he had the ability, but he was derelict in his duties again and again! ”

"Your Majesty is still worried about the affairs of the county lord......"

Hearing Zhang Bao mention the county lord of Liang, Shi Shi glared at Zhang Bao fiercely, Zhang Bao knew that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly kowtowed and said, "The minister lost his words...... Your Majesty forgives your sins! ”

"Lu An!"

"The minions are here!"

"Send someone to send another letter to King Ning tomorrow morning, and ask him to arrest the assassin as quickly as possible! Otherwise, I'm the only one asking! ”

"Slaves obey!"

Shi Shi looked at Zhang Bao again and ordered, "I've been running for a day, go back and rest early!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Bao hurriedly got up, saluted and said, "Weichen retires." ”

After Zhang Bao left, Shi Shi was still sitting there, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't mean to get up at all. After a while, Lu An, who was standing next to him and waiting, whispered: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest!" ”

Shi Shi opened his eyes slightly, looked at the dim hall around him, an inexplicable fear welled up in his heart, and in his mind, he suddenly remembered Shi Hu's hideous face when he died under his hands.

Thinking of this, Shi Shi couldn't help but shudder.

"Spread the order of Yuefu, I want to listen to music and watch dance!" Shi Shi commanded.

"But...... Your Majesty, now is the period of the great funeral of the first emperor, according to the etiquette system, this time cannot be ......"

"Bastard!" Shi Shi scolded loudly: "When it will be your turn in this palace, a minion has the final say!" ”

Lu An hurriedly knelt down in fright and shouted: "The slave knows the guilt......"

Shi Shi held a belly of fire and stared at Lu An who was kneeling on the ground, but he didn't scold anymore after all. In fact, Shi Shi didn't really want to watch singing and dancing, he just didn't dare to fall asleep, for fear of dreaming of something that shouldn't appear.

After a long time, Shi Shi finally spoke: "Light up the candles in this hall!" ”

"Slaves obey!" Lu An hurriedly got up.

At this time, Lu An had already roughly understood Shi Shi's thoughts, he didn't say anything more, and directly ordered the eunuchs and maids to fetch candles and oil lamps, and illuminate the entire Hongguang Pavilion transparently.

Seeing that the lights around him were bright, Shi Shi breathed a sigh of relief this time, and his heart relaxed a little.

Lu An walked to Shi Shi's side with interest and said, "Your Majesty, every corner of the hall has been lit with candles, do you want to go to bed now?" ”

Shi Shi was already tired, he got up slowly, and Lu An on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minions are waiting outside the curtain, waiting for Your Majesty's orders!" Lu An said.

Hearing Lu An say this, Shi Shi nodded slightly and said, "You kid is doing things, it's not bad......"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!" Lu An replied in a low voice.

Lu An helped Shi Shi to the bed, which was a new bed that had just been replaced according to Shi Shi's request. Lu An carefully changed Shi Shi's clothes, and instructed the eunuchs beside him: "Look at the charcoal fire in the basin, don't be careless!" ”

"Yes......"

At this time, Shi Shi suddenly asked, "I just saw that there is a cabinet against the wall over there, what is in that cabinet?" Why hasn't it been removed yet? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, that cabinet has been there before, and the slave doesn't know what it is, it should be some clothes and the like, and the slave will order someone to move it away tomorrow morning!"

Shi Shi nodded and ordered, "Okay, retreat!" ”
