Chapter Seventy-Eight: What If

The so-called companion is like a companion tiger, even if he is well prepared, Han Qinglan is afraid that when Hong Ze goes to ask for sin, he will be angered when he encounters an accident, and the crime will be added to the crime.

What's more, it is a situation where you know that you have committed a taboo and continue to know your mistakes and do not change them.

In fact, according to his plan, only after the murderer was captured in one fell swoop, or decisive evidence was found, would they take the initiative to ask Emperor Xuande for guilt.

In this way, we can have the greatest certainty, so that when Hong Ze takes the initiative to ask for guilt, the danger will be minimized.

But now, because of the intervention of the county lord of Danyang, his entire consideration has been disrupted. Therefore, he must grasp the latest situation as soon as possible and adjust quickly, in order not to make Hong Ze's situation too difficult in the future.

Hong Ze was also embarrassed at this time, he really didn't think that he would talk about this with Han Qinglan.

But in the current situation, he was afraid that if he didn't make it clear, the other party would not obediently spit out the clues about the assassin and the case.

Hong Ze sighed and scratched his head before he reluctantly spoke:

"Well, in general, it's so much better than I thought."

In the carriage, when Hong Ze confessed his crimes to Emperor Xuande, he was vaguely aware of something.

It turned out that his previous or should be said to be all parties involved in the assassination of Prime Minister Lu. Whether it was at the time of the incident or every move afterward, it was in the hands of Emperor Xuande, a wise emperor.

As soon as he expressed his intentions, Emperor Xuande directly cut him off and threw out several sharp and tricky questions one after another.

Looking back at this time, Hong Ze was still a little shuddering, as if at the moment of the conversation, Emperor Xuande took a knife and threw away his henchmen, revealing his whole insight.

As a military general who doesn't like to use his brain very much, and has never held too important positions, this is really the first time he has deeply realized what it means to be a companion like a tiger.

And, in the past, trembling from the mouths of the civil servants who came and went from Chengde Gate, what was the feeling of "walking on thin ice" that was often recited.

But after he told the truth and told Emperor Xuande openly and honestly about his thoughts and wishes according to the guidance of the county lord of Danyang, the emperor was indeed not angry.

Even after a moment of silence, he really nodded and agreed to his request to continue investigating the case.

It's just that his offense and dereliction of duty in searching Qingxing Street are still responsible. But it can be used to offset each other with his errand this time.

At the same time, Hong Ze was also evaluated by Emperor Xuande as frizzy, impulsive, and unsuitable to take on the heavy responsibility of guarding Chengde Gate.

After the facts of the case are clarified and the murderer is arrested, he will also be transferred back to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing again.

Hong Ze was concise and concise, and briefly described the entire process of pleading guilty, before he sighed with a smile:

"So, I'm not wrong, right? It turned out really good. At least His Majesty didn't get angry with me because of this messy situation, let alone want my head, and even allowed me to continue investigating the case. If I can really catch those bastards who are secretly in the dark, I Lao Hong has nothing to regret. ”

Han Qinglan listened to her friend's sonorous, free and easy words, but she sighed in her heart.

These words are indeed Hong Ze's heart, but where can he not guess the regret buried in the bottom of his friend's heart?

You know, with Hong Ze's background. After only a few years of short-term battlefield fighting, he became the current four-rank Zhonglang general, and the close ministers in front of the emperor, except for a little luck, but they are all decades of hard work that dare not have a trace of slackness, and finally in exchange.

Now when it comes to letting go, where is it so easy to give up?

What's more, Hong Ze's family has long been in the middle of the road, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the hope of the whole family is on his shoulders.

Now that he has been driven out of the Royal Forest Army and sent to the barracks, I don't know if the grade will be downgraded......

As soon as Han Qinglan thought of this, the anger in her chest increased.

If, that girl doesn't interfere indiscriminately, show off her own skills;

If he could have explained the plan to Hong Ze earlier, or at the beginning, he wouldn't have to worry too much;

If the action can be faster, at least Hong Ze can hold some key clues and have a showdown with Emperor Xuande.

At that moment, it may be a different result.

But if he had known everything, there was not much time and opportunity for him to turn it around.

Therefore, when Han Qinglan hated her negligence and arrogance, she forced herself to stay calm and make the most correct choice at the moment.

After Hong Ze vomited, he turned his head and saw that he didn't know what he was thinking, and he couldn't take his eyes off a tree hole and stared at it!

He grinded his teeth angrily, slapped Han Qinglan on the back, and snorted angrily:

"Hey! Did you listen to what I said? Hmph, after I explained everything I had to say anyway, it's your kid's turn now, don't try to prevaricate that I didn't hear it. ”

Han Qinglan deliberately bared her teeth and grinned, and only after inhaling secretly for a while did she suppress the anxiety and anger in her heart, she waved her hand and said:

"No, you're understating. Besides, it's just you and me right now, who knows if you're telling the truth? ”

"You!"

Han Qinglan didn't wait for Hong Ze to get mad, as soon as she raised her arm, she stuffed the "evidence" into the fan-like palm that Hong Ze raised again.

At the same time, I sold a pass:

"Regardless of whether what you say is true or not, such an important piece of evidence, you should send it back to the Holy Lord first. As for the details and speculations of the battle with this moment, I will enter the palace later, and then I will explain it together in front of His Majesty. ”

Hong Ze's gaze went back and forth on the evidence in his hand, as well as Han Qinglan's seemingly relaxed, but solemn and abnormal expression between his eyebrows, and after a round of snort, he sighed:

“…… Yes! I don't have as much eyes on my mind as you do, and I don't ask much else. ”

But before the words could land, he stuffed the "evidence" into his arms with one hand, and pointed to the side room of the hall under his feet, which both of them could see directly through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

"I am ordered to protect the safety of the county lord of Anyang, if you want to support me, you will have to bear this work. If you are afraid of causing disaster to me and want to break me away, you will have to bother you to lift your feet and change places. ”

When Han Qinglan heard these words full of resentment, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and directly raised her hand and said:

"Okay, Lao Tzu knows! I must send the master below who will only cause trouble back to the princess's mansion safely! Hurry up and go to the palace, let's go, let's go. ”

Hong Ze snorted, but didn't say anything more, and was about to get up holding on to the trunk.

But as soon as he moved, he heard Han Qinglan ask behind him again:

"By the way, I asked you to investigate, but there is a result?"

Han Qinglan didn't say anything, Hong Ze almost forgot about this stubble.

As he stood up straight, he hummed:

"I've said that a long time ago. It's not immediate, you know how many people you have to send to check, how many places you have to go......"

When Han Qinglan heard this, she couldn't help but laugh:

"Okay, okay, I know Lord Hong, you and your men have worked hard."

But at this point, he suddenly changed his joking tone, and said in a serious and low voice:

"This must not be stopped halfway, nor can it be careless, but there is a hint of doubt or abnormality......"

Hong Ze turned his head to look at Han Qinglan, nodded with a dark face, and answered:

"Yes, send someone to inform you immediately."

With that, he was on tiptoe, jumped into the canopy of another large tree, and disappeared after a few takeoffs.

Han Qinglan changed to the position of the trunk of the tree that Hong Ze was leaning on just now, and looked at it condescendingly, and the petite figure in the hall under her feet followed behind a woman, turning the screen and going to the main hall.
