Zhao Qingzhou waved his hand and said, "Yesterday, Zhao annoyed Qin Guoxi, and he already expected such a result. Lord Zheng doesn't have to blame himself, there is one less Zhao Qingzhou in this world, and nothing will change. Zheng Degang's nose turned red, and he said with some emotion: "This sentence, ten years ago, someone also said it to me, but yesterday there was one less Lord Han, today there is one less Lord Zhao, and tomorrow I don't know which loyal minister and good general will be missing. ”

The two of them were silent for a while, and Governor Zhao Qing let out a sigh of relief and said, "Lord Zheng, it's dark, and it will naturally be bright." Before I came here, an old man said to me that evil will not prevail over good in this world. Zheng Degang shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that the good will not suppress the evil, if I hadn't promised the family, I would stick to the Dali Temple, I wouldn't want to get involved in this officialdom for a long time." Too controlled by others, too self-controlled. What is the sin of a pure minister like you, but you will not escape death. ”

Zhao Qingzhou said with a smile: "Hasn't Lord Zheng heard the phrase 'guilty of guilt'?" It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and Zhao has been in the officialdom for many years, and he has cultivated an iron backbone and a clean breeze on his sleeves, which is incompatible with them. Zheng Degang said: "Now the saint is busy, this matter seems to be completely handed over to Shi Miyuan, an hour ago, Du Jinping prepared the case file and the crime, and even the plot and details were written in detail as if he had seen it himself, and Shi Miyuan personally took it to the saint to see, this case was passed on to the official family by his oral transmission, I don't know how the official family will decide." ”

Zhao Qingzhou said: "Whether the saint can see this or not, I can't be sure. However, there was Lord Lao Zheng, who immediately rushed back to tell Zhao the news. I would like to ask Lord Zheng for one thing now. Zheng Degang hurriedly said, "Lord Zhao, please speak." Zhao Qingzhou said: "I think Shi Miyuan will not keep me alive for too long, Zhao has a few friends, if he knows that I am going to be beheaded, I am afraid that he will do something reckless, and please Lord Zheng, don't disclose the news for the time being." ”

Zheng Degang was a little surprised and said, "Wouldn't it be a good thing if you could save Lord Zhao out." Zhao Qingzhou opened his mouth slightly, and said: "If I am robbed in Dali Temple, or rescued on the execution ground, then not only my friends will not be able to save their lives, but even Lord Zheng's Dali Temple will also be implicated, this matter must not be." I hope that Lord Zheng will not leak the news. ”

Zheng Degang was moved by Zhao Qingzhou's benevolence and righteousness, and nodded with difficulty and exclaimed: "Lord Zhao is like Master Mengzi, the eldest husband is bright and upright, and when he lives and dies, he still thinks about kindness and righteousness. I have a sense of proportion in this matter, and please rest assured Lord Zhao. Cheongju didn't want to speak anymore, arched his hand, turned and sat down on the stone couch in the prison. Zheng Degang didn't leave, he stood for a moment and asked with concern, "Lord Zhao, you... Drinking? I asked Lao Xia to bring you a pot to chat about as comfort. ”

Zhao Qingzhou didn't look back, and said in a muffled voice: "No need, Master Zheng asked someone to bring me some paper and pencils, Zhao wants to leave some words." Zheng Degang answered several times in a row, turned around and left. The dungeon was quiet for a while, Zhao Qingzhou sat with his head down, and suddenly a tear fell on the stone couch, Qingzhou reached out to wipe it, and wiped the tears on his face with the sleeve of his other hand.

In Qingping Zhai, Aunt Feng had already put on the table and lit the house full of lamps and candles. Qiuqiu and Ximen March sat at the dinner table, and saw that all the adults were full of worries today, so they all ate obediently and went back to their respective rooms.

When Ximen closed in March, he asked Qiuqiu: "Xiao Qiu'er, then let's practice calligraphy together at night?" Qiuqiu said: "Don't practice, I want to go to bed early today, don't come over." Ximen March snorted and said, "That little Qiu'er, I'll teach you to write a book tomorrow." Qiuqiu nodded and said, "Okay, you can go to bed early." With that, the two of them went into their rooms.

When Su Mengtang walked into the room, Qiuqiu was sitting on the bed with his knees crossed, as if waiting for him. Qiuqiu saw that Su Mengtang's face was full of tiredness, and hurriedly asked, "Aunt Mengtang, are you tired?" Come up and rest. Su Mengtang smiled with relief, touched Qiuqiu's head, and said, "Aunt Mengtang still has something, and she probably won't be able to sleep today." Qiuqiu went straight to the point and asked, "It's Uncle Zhao who has an accident, right?" ”

Su Mengtang was a little surprised, but thinking that when she talked to Zhang Yunhua about this matter these days, sometimes she didn't deliberately avoid the child, so she said, "It turns out that Xiao Qiu'er knows everything?" Qiuqiu nodded and said, "Aunt Mengtang, how do you and Master plan to rescue Uncle Zhao?" Sun Xiaowen hesitated for a few days, and finally planned to use her ability to help these adults come up with ideas.

Seeing the serious appearance of the child in front of her, Su Mengtang had a strange feeling, this child seemed to have the same way of thinking and doing things as an adult, she hesitated for a moment, and said: "Xiaoqiu, you are still a child, you shouldn't have told you these things, this is the sinister of the world... At this time, they still care about these details!

Qiuqiu sighed helplessly and said: "Aunt Mengtang, I didn't want to participate in the affairs of the adults, but now life and death are at stake, if you join in, you can do more, think of more ways, and rescue Uncle Zhao, I am very willing to join you." Su Mengtang was slightly startled, and thought to himself: "This child, maybe he is talented, and he may be able to use it as a key to solve the dilemma." Qiuqiu saw that Su Mengtang looked at herself directly, and did not say anything, so she got out of bed and grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go to the master, I don't have time to think about it now." ”

The two of them came to the hall where they had just eaten, and as soon as they saw Qiuqiu, Xiang Kang, who was talking, hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Xiao Qiu'er, why don't you sleep yet, be careful if you don't sleep, be careful that the big horse monkey comes to catch you." Qiuqiu smiled, sat on the chair beside Zhang Yunhua on tiptoe, and said, "It's still early, you don't need to sleep, Uncle Xiang, where did you just go, I also want to hear it." ”

Xiang Kang was also shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked at Zhang Yunhua's face. Yunhua lowered his head and said to Qiuqiu: "Xiaoqiu, don't worry about the adult's business. Qiuqiu suddenly felt a little annoyed, if she didn't wear her soul into this eight-year-old child, but a person of the same age as Master, it is estimated that she would not be so unvalued. But now, it's useless to be annoyed, you can only use both hard and soft.

"Sir, just let me hear it, one more person now will give me a glimmer of hope, right?" Qiuqiu blinked her eyes and looked at Zhang Yunhua. Ou Jinshu had heard Qiuqiu talk about the dream, and felt that maybe Zhao Hong knew about it, and asked Qiuqiu to send a message, so he hurriedly echoed Qiuqiu and said: "Brother Yunhua, Xiao Qiu'er seems to already know, let's let the children discuss it together." ”
