Chapter 42 The Minister of Orphans

"Nonsense. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "King Huai wouldn't believe what Qin Liu guessed at all.

After all, the Qianjue Tower is located in the north of the eastern end of the Qinghe River, where the rich are, and the streets of the prosperous commercial market. In such a crowded place, if the most wanted criminal in the imperial court hid without being discovered, wouldn't it show that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court were all waste.

But Qin Liu nodded firmly, and then said: "I can't guess where Bai Chenzuo is usually, but today, he must go back to Qianjue Tower." ”

"Why?" King Huai was puzzled.

"Isn't that obvious?" Qin Liu looked at King Huai with disdain, with a look of "ignorance is terrible", and said: "Lan Fen'er took refuge in him, presumably the Third Emperor Uncle will be shocked at this time tomorrow, and then the entire Haoning City will enter a state of blockade, so Bai Chenzuo will naturally choose to leave Haoning tonight." ”

It sounds reasonable, but what does this have to do with Qianjue Tower? King Huai was puzzled and continued to ask Qin Liu.

"Have you forgotten?" Qin Liu's eyes changed slightly, revealing a little coldness, and King Huai was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Qin Liu meant by "forgetting".

Qin Liu sighed, nodded at Lan Hou, and asked repeatedly, "Lan Hou, have you forgotten too?" ”

Lan Hou was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what Qin Liu was asking.

"One is a murderer, and the other is an old friend of the deceased, but you have all forgotten where General Bai Kui died." Qin Liu spoke in a low voice, his expression was already angry.

The Qing River is a canal flowing through the imperial capital of Haoning City, and it is also the boundary river between the northern and southern urban areas.

The residential distribution of Haoning City is a typical "poor in the south and rich in the north", most of the princes and nobles live in the north of the Qing River, and the Zhengxi General's Mansion of Bai Chenzuo's family is no exception, built on the bank of the Qing River.

It's just that building by the water is by no means a beautiful river-view room or a river-view room.

In ancient times, except for the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Palace, which was directly connected to the canal, I am afraid that no nobleman was willing to build a house by the river, because the danger factor was high, and robbers and bandits could easily cross the canal and attack their mansion.

But the Bai family is a general, and they have no scruples about this, Bai Kui even directly introduced the water of the Qinghe River into the general's mansion as his own inner lake.

It's a pity that this pond lake eventually became Bai Kui's burial place.

A year ago, Qin Jing made a poisonous plan to put the Bai family in the point of being beheaded, General Bai Kui was unwilling to calculate, and killed himself in the inner lake of the Qing River, and the corpse drifted down with the water of the canal, until the east end of the Qing River, only to be stopped by the river guards, and unloaded eight pieces to show favor to Qin Jing.

"Therefore, if Bai Chenzuo wants to leave Haoning tonight, he will definitely meet the ghost of General Bai Kui at the east end of the Qing River, and then leave Haoning in the water of the Qing River." Qin Liu explained, and sighed secretly after speaking.

Qin Liu was feeling sorry for General Bai Kui, who was a hero, but was divided by a group of gangsters.

"Good!" King Huai clapped his hands, and his face suddenly showed joy. "Since this is the case, then the king ordered the patrol department to take down Qianjue Tower in one fell swoop and slaughter Bai Chenzuo."

As soon as King Huai remembered the hatred he had held hostage, he gritted his teeth against Bai Chenzuo, coupled with the factor of Ning Xiang, King Huai was unwilling to delay for a moment, and immediately decided to dispatch the city guard army of the Patrol Division.

But Qin Liu replied with a "no" very simply.

"With Bai Chenzuo's skills, it doesn't matter how many people you take, if he wants to kill you, he can naturally take your head among the ten thousand armies, so it's better to keep a low profile."

Qin Liu deliberately explained that "you will be the first among the ten thousand armies", which was used to remind King Huai that Bai Chenzuo had done such a thing a year ago, and using tough means to deal with him would only backfire, and it might even hurt Princess Ning Xiang.

King Huai paused, and when he mentioned Ning Xiang, his heart couldn't help but hurt.

"And what do you say you want to do?" King Huai had no choice but to ask Qin Liu.

Qin Liu half-narrowed his eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I will go to Qianjue Tower alone, and I will meet Bai Chenzuo for a while, maybe I can deceive Ning Xiang and Lan Fen'er back." ”

"Alone?" When King Huai heard Qin Liu's proposal, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, he didn't think that Qin Liu and Bai Chenzuo were accomplices, but he was worried about the risky nature of Qin Liu's move.

A year ago, it was the first emperor who ordered the Bai family to be beheaded, and now that the first emperor has gone, Qin Liu has naturally become the target of Bai Chenzuo's assassination, not to mention that Bai Chenzuo's swordsmanship is extremely high, and he can still hold King Huai hostage in a million army, Qin Liu is alone, isn't it a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

King Huai shook his head, objected to Qin Liu's proposal, and said, "No, if Bai Chenzuo starts to kill intent, you won't have a chance to leave Qianjue Tower alive." ”

"What? His Royal Highness King Huai, is this concerned about me? Qin Liu couldn't help but be a little moved, thinking that King Huai was just a child, and there was no insidious poison from the people of the deep palace, although he said that he would drive Qin Liu out of the prince's mansion, Xiangwang Mansion, but Qin Liu was really in danger, he would still be worried.

"I'm afraid that you will die under his sword and lose the face of the royal family." King Huai was embarrassed by Qin Liu's words, put away his worried face, and pretended to respond ruthlessly.

Qin Liu listened to it and smiled with relief, he believed that Bai Chenzuo was not a villain, so he dared to go on an adventure alone, because since Bai Chenzuo did not kill King Huai a year ago, it meant that he knew right and wrong.......

Qianjue Lou is the closest restaurant from Qinghe East Wharf, most of the residents are about to leave Beijing, or enter Beijing, but because the river is difficult to travel, the general choice of boat travel is not rich people, naturally, Qianjue Lou can only be an ordinary restaurant in the grade, and even said, some simple.

Bai Chenzuo leaned on the corridor on the third floor of the west side of Qianjue Tower, his expression was a little lonely, and he sighed when he saw the travelers coming and going in the lobby of Qianjue Tower, and the travelers who carried the package.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, this plan is very vicious, and the last general will be worried about Fen'er and her......" Bai Chenzuo wanted to speak and stopped, he picked up the teacup in front of him, held it in mid-air and paused, as if he was hesitating about something, but he was helpless.

In front of him, Princess Ning Xiang was the same, but after closing her eyes and pondering for a moment, Ning Xiang regained her firmness.

Ning Xiangyan said: "Major General Bai, now you and I have no choice, a year ago, the first emperor was seriously ill, and he knew that he would die soon, and his Royal Highness King Xiang entrusted him to my father, your father, and Liu Qiaosong. And now, Qin Jing has won the throne, and Prince Xiang is under house arrest in King Xiang's mansion, but fortunately, Lu Fei, a student of Mrs. Liu, is by the side of Prince Xiang, which can be regarded as a trace of comfort to our ministers. ”

Ning Xiang paused a little when she said this, she wanted to give Bai Chenzuo a little time to think, or rather, to make him feel ashamed.

Then, Ning Xiang continued: "We didn't stop Qin Jing from usurping the throne, nor did we protect Prince Xiang, if we continue to do this, what face do we have to live in the world?" ”
