Chen Dan was praised by Su Qin, and a trace of pride surged in her heart, she said: "How dare a little girl call the word smart in front of the prime minister, or under the guidance of the prime minister, she only occasionally has experience." ”

But when Su Qin praised Chen Dan, his mood was taken away by Niu San because of the flying knife, and the clouds were already cloudy, but at this moment another layer of shadow was cast. He tried not to let the worries in his heart show, so as not to embarrass Chen Dan.

Chen Dan went through how many grievances and begged for perfection before he could find out so much valuable information from Niu San. She's put in enough effort in this matter.

The flying knife that could be used as physical evidence was taken away, not only Chen Dan's fault, but also Su Qin's own lack of carelessness.

Su Qin thought about it and felt that Niu San was not as rude and ignorant as he seemed on the surface. He secretly blamed himself for making the mistake of belittling others, in fact, if he was careful enough, he should have thought: "If Niu San is just a reckless man and doesn't have a little heart, how can he find out so much news, and he claims to be the first on the well-informed list of rivers and lakes?" ”

There is also Niu San's preference for wine, which is certainly a big problem for him, but as long as there is a trace of vigilance in his heart, he can still be alert at the most critical moment. Su Qin thought: "The so-called wise man has a thousand thoughts, there must be a mistake, a fool has a thousand thoughts, there must be a gain, and the flying knife is stolen, isn't it just the fulfillment of this sentence!" ”

However, the road ahead is still murky, and the only way forward is to adapt to the situation and see the move.

Compared with Su Qin, Chen Dan is even more like falling into a fog, although Su Qin praised her for being smart and clever, she still has a lot of questions in her heart.

Chen Dan asked Su Qin, "Jiang He's flying knife is so important, why did he use it to assassinate Liang Yue'er, a little Kabuki who seemed insignificant?" Isn't he afraid that others will discover the hidden clues? ”

Su Qin had actually thought about this problem and said: "This is a core issue, which means that Liang Yue'er's identity is not simple, and she has a deep relationship with Zhao Rong or Jiang He, which caused them to hunt down." ”

Chen Dan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thanks to the presence of General Qu Xin at that time, with his martial arts and insight, he saved Liang Yue'er's life, otherwise Liang Yue'er wouldn't know where the corpse would have gone now." ”

Su Qin frowned, obviously still thinking about it, he replied: "Yes, everything in the world is often due to coincidence, General Qu Xin just fell in love with Liang Yue'er, who can say the reason why it should or shouldn't?" ”

"One thing we are very clear about now is that Liang Yue'er is not our enemy, otherwise she would not be hunted down by Zhao Rong and others. I had a special suspicion that she was hiding in the peach orchard and wanted to do something bad to us, but now it seems that this is too much to worry about. ”

Chen Dan turned worried about Liang Yue'er again, and she said, "This dead girl, I don't know where Lu Dao ran to?" She herself was originally the target of being hunted down, but she didn't know how to show up. ”

Su Qin listened to Chen Dan's worried words, and had the heart to tell her that he had sent Qu Xin to accompany him secretly, but after thinking about it, he also felt that it was impossible to make extraneous branches. If she told Chen Dan, she would be involved again, and it would be no good for her.

After dealing with the mess left by Niu San, Su Qin and Chen Dan rushed back to Xingmingxuan, it was not early, and the two of them hurried to sleep, because Su Qin still had very important things to do tomorrow.

Early the next morning, before the morning came, and the sky had just brightened, Su Qin got up, Chen Dan was still in a dream. Su Qin lightly packed up his clothes, went to the outhouse to put on his robes, briefly freshened up, and left the peach garden.

He first went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion less than a mile outside the south gate of Handan Palace, and when he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Qin sent his own Xiao Xiao to urgently find Ling Shi Feiyi to see if he had not returned last night and stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Within half an hour, Xiao Xiao took Fei Yi to the prime minister's hall in the Prime Minister's Mansion to see Su Qin. Fei Yi really didn't return home last night, Su Qin expected that he was too late to return home to rest because the meeting was about to be held, and he was entangled in miscellaneous chores such as logistics and honor guards.

After asking, if this is really the case, Su Qin praised Fei Yi in person: "Fei Ling Shi is diligent in government affairs, shrewd and capable, and a once-in-a-lifetime talent in governance." The prime minister of this Zhao State is nominally my Su Qin, but in fact it is you Feiyi. ”

Fei Yi replied modestly: "Prime Minister Su has been rewarded by me, how dare the last official be greedy for the merits of heaven for himself, it is just to help the prime minister manage the government, otherwise, in the name of my fat righteousness, where can I mobilize so much strength." ”

Su Qin listened to Feiyi's words, saw that he advanced and retreated appropriately, was polite and moderate, and liked Feiyi even more, and thought to himself: "If I step down as the prime minister of Zhao State in the future, I must think that the monarch will suggest Feiyi as the prime minister, and he is the best candidate for this position." ”

"It's just that Zhao Guo has such a mind and bearing, and uses such a young man as prime minister? Alas, I don't know if Zhao Guo is so lucky. The key to the country's political affairs lies in appointing people, and if people are upright and talented, the government will be clean, and the country will be governed by the upper and lower levels, otherwise it will be a reverse road, and it will become more and more corrupt and decaying. ”

Seeing that Su Qin was silent, Fei Yi asked: "I don't know what the prime minister called me to come to, what orders do I have, and ask for instructions, and the last official will do it immediately." ”

Fei Yi's words interrupted Su Qin's thoughts, he came to his senses, and said, "I remembered other things just now, and I forgot the purpose of coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I came here this time to ask you to help me check the criminal files in the past, focusing on the murder case of the second senior brother of the Liulu Jianmen named Jiang He ten years ago, and the case of Bai Yongxing's assassination that occurred when I first became the prime minister of Zhao Guo a few years ago. ”

"The people involved in these two cases died mysteriously and violently, and there may be some unspeakable secrets in them, you call up the file and help me take a closer look, and try to find out the suspicious points worth noting."

Fei Yi sang a song and said: "The last official obeys the order, and it is not difficult to investigate the two cases, but I don't know why the prime minister of Lu Dao only wants to investigate these two people?" The last official asked the reason, and it was good to prescribe the right medicine and find the direction of the investigation. ”

Su Qin said: "These two people are both from the Liulu Sword Sect, and their results in prison are the same, and the cause of death is sudden death, which is strange enough." Recently, someone saw Jiang He reappear, isn't this a strange thing! ”

Fei Yi nodded and said, "Prime Minister said so, there are problems with the causes of death of these two people, and it is very likely that they are not really dead." I understand, don't worry, the prime minister will carefully check and verify. ”

After Su Qin explained the task of investigating the case in Feiyi, he did not stay in the prime minister's mansion for long, and he took a few personal school guards to Handan Shangshe, where the missions of various countries stayed, and he wanted to find Chen Xu there and ask him about the person named Wei Ning, the captain of Wei. This is also the third of the three clues he is scheduled to investigate.

When Su Qin arrived, it had just arrived at the hour, Chen Xu had not yet gotten up, his relatives reported to the inner room, and not long after, Chen Xu hurriedly came out of it, his hair was still scattered, and he had not been combed.

Su Qin looked at Chen Xu's appearance, felt embarrassed, bowed and bowed, and said, "Forgive me for disturbing Brother Chen's rest in the morning!" ”

Chen Xu waved his hand and replied: "Don't be polite to me, Ji Zi must have something very urgent when he comes to me at this time, right?" ”

Su Qin nodded affirmatively and said, "I want to ask Brother Chen about someone, this person's name is Wei Ning, and it seems that he is holding the position of captain in Wei State. But in what troops, and what was the past? None of this is clear. ”

When Chen Xu heard this, he immediately came out in surprise and replied, "How could Ji Zi care about my entourage?" ”

Chen Xu's expression and answer surprised Su Qin, he didn't expect Wei Ning to be Chen Xu's accompanying lieutenant at all, but he hadn't even noticed this person before.

Su Qin hurriedly asked, "Is he your entourage?" This was a big surprise to me. ”

Chen Xu glanced at Su Qin and said, "No wonder Ji Zi didn't notice Wei Ning, he has scars on his face, he has never dealt with outsiders, even if he shows up, his face is always wrapped in a black turban." ”

Su Qin was even more secretly shocked in his heart, thinking: "In this way, this Wei Ning is indeed a person, and it is Jiang He's other identity, what Niu San said, it is all true." ”

Su Qin originally thought that Niu San's words must be adding oil and vinegar, although there may be true ingredients, but it must not be completely true, but it is mostly true.

However, he quickly figured it out and thought: "This Niu San is originally a person who is good at finding out all kinds of news, and he is proud of it, Jiang He's brother lives next door to his house, Niu San is naturally extra attentive and observes more carefully." He drank and boasted last night, and was caught by the shrewd and charming Chen Dan, so he naturally told the truth and almost had no reservations. ”

Su Qin urgently inquired about Wei Ning's situation again from Chen Xu, and asked, "Brother Chen, do you know a thing or two about Captain Wei Ning's origin?" ”

Chen Xu saw Su Qin's face in surprise for a while, and eagerness for a while, feeling that things were extraordinary, he replied cautiously:

"I only have a rough understanding, he was originally a forbidden military captain in the court, and he rarely dealt with me as a civil official in the past. This time I came to Handan to participate in the joint vertical conference, and the king of Wei temporarily dispatched me to protect my personal safety. ”

Su Qin listened attentively, frowned slightly, and interjected: "I want to hear it!" ”
