Zhao Qingzhou heard the words and explained: "The minister thinks-" "Why?" Think I'm only at the mercy of others? The smile on Zhao Heju's bearded face was gone. Zhao Qingzhou hurriedly said: "The official family is angry, Weichen has no such intention, but today the three divisions have finalized, and the conclusion seems to be unfavorable to the minister, and the minister is worried that the official family will be deceived by this." Zhao Youju nodded slightly, and said with an expected look: "Do you know Qingzhou?" These are a game of chess for you. ”

Zhao Qingzhou was very surprised when he heard this, he only felt that the escape from death experienced tonight was too absurd, and the emperor's mind in front of him was really difficult to guess, so he had to say: "I hope Your Majesty will make it clear." Zhao Heju patted Qingzhou on the shoulder, paced back to the edge of his pear blossom wooden chair, and motioned for Zhao Qingzhou to come over. Zhao Qingzhou followed and saw that there were many pieces of music to be approved on the imperial case, and he sighed for a while, it turned out that he was the son of heaven, and he also needed such clothes and food.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Zhao Heju speak: "I still remember that you were poisoned and assassinated last month. This sentence shocked Zhao Qingzhou's heart, and he raised his eyes to look at Song Lizong, wanting to hear him continue. At that time, you had just participated in Shi Miyuan's book, and you were poisoned and assassinated in Jiangning, I couldn't help but suspect him, but suspicion is suspicion after all, and the people I sent did not hear any clues, so they could not uphold justice for you. Song Lizong paused, found a copy from the recital on the case, and handed it to Zhao Qingzhou.

Zhao Qingzhou hurriedly and respectfully took the book, his heart was mixed, and he opened it with a slight frown between his eyebrows: from beginning to end, it was indeed empty. Song Lizong saw that Qingzhou's expression was a little solemn, so he said: "Look at it, this is the culprit who made you suffer an injustice, and the others were brought to Cao Kechun for trial, and I have a copy here." When I saw this a few days ago, I knew in my heart that someone was trying to harm you, so I planned to see who the person behind the scenes was. ”

"That official. . . Is there a conclusion? Zhao Qingzhou put back the recital, and he deliberately paused between words, wanting to make this sentence sound weaker and not be mistaken for cross-examination.

Song Lizong shaved his beard casually with his fingers, but his face was a little cold for a while, and he said unceremoniously: "Qingzhou, you don't need to be careful and cautious when you talk to me. What kind of person you are, how you have been an official in Jiangning all these years, I know very well in my heart. If there is the slightest suspicion of you, I will not summon you to the Funing Hall late at night, so I will be at ease with you. ”

Zhao Qingzhou's whole body was shocked, he never thought that Zhao Heju would say such a thing to him, and he didn't know how to react for a while. Zhao Youju said to himself: "The person who harmed you is naturally him." It was I who instructed Shi Miyuan to take charge of your case, and I wanted to see what he would do. I thought he would be cautious, but I didn't expect it. ”

"But there is one thing that the minister can't figure out." Zhao Qingzhou finally said frankly to the emperor in front of him: "General Qin wants to kill the minister in Dali Temple, if the minister dies, the official family will definitely know, is he not afraid that there will be no way to explain?" Zhao Youju didn't answer, he picked up the Xiangzhu wolf on the case to make Zhu Criticism, and wrote a few words on Zhao Qingzhou's blank recital. Zhao Qingzhou looked at the pen and saw four big characters written on the white paper - suicide in fear of sin.

Zhao Youju put down his pen and said: "If you die in prison tonight, tomorrow morning, Shi Miyuan will definitely come to report on my conclusion of today's trial, and the matter of your suicide in prison, and the matter of death without proof, naturally it will not be possible to continue to investigate, and the conclusion of the three divisions is to close the coffin." Qingzhou felt a chill down his spine: "But Lord Zheng was also in prison at the time, isn't Shi Miyuan worried that Lord Zheng will report this." Zhao Youju nodded and said, "Then maybe Zheng Degang will defend you, but since I ascended the throne, I have never seen him stand up and say anything for anyone." ”

He said this very surely, Zhao Qingzhou couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, Li Zong looked at Zhao Qingzhou helplessly as if he was looking at his younger brother, and explained: "The Zheng family has been an official in Dali Temple for three generations, if they are all like you, can they still live unharmed to this day?" "But," Zhao Qingzhou defended: "Lord Zheng is in prison, and he is still a minister, and he is with General Qin. Quarrel with Qin Guoxi. ”

"I know Zheng Degang very well, in the one acre and three points of land in Dali Temple, he has to make everything come to light, dare to say anything, this is his duty, and he can be regarded as conscientious. But once he got out of Dali Temple and arrived at the court, he couldn't help but protect himself. For the sake of a dead prisoner, he would not rashly tear his face with Shi Miyuan. Even if he wanted to, he would have no chance of winning. ”

Zhao Qingzhou suddenly remembered what Zheng Degang said to him outside the prison door today: "Now the world is not suppressing evil, if I hadn't promised my family, I wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this officialdom for a long time, I was too controlled by others and too involuntarily." "At that time, he only said that Zheng Degang was embarrassed during the afternoon trial, and now he understands the deep meaning." The official family is shengming," Zhao Qingzhou sighed sincerely, he suddenly felt that Zhao Heju, who seemed to have no opinions in the court in the past, was like a mirror in his heart, and he could see the personnel inside and outside the court clearly and clearly.

"As for who personally carried out this unjust case, I have asked Fan Wenqi to tell Wang Hui secretly, and let him investigate in Jiangning, I believe that Lord Wang will not let me down." Zhao and Ju put together the chapter and said seriously: "Qingzhou, tomorrow in the court, you will wear this prison uniform to the main hall, I want to redress your grievances in front of the civil and military officials, and give you a promotion to an official position, okay?" Zhao Qingzhou hurriedly said: "The official, the minister only asks the official to be reinstated, just go back to Jiangning, it's almost winter, and there are still many things to be solved over there." ”

"Eh, I'm going to transfer you to Kyori. Shi Miyuan is full-fledged, and there are not many people who can use it in the court, and you Zhao Qingzhou have to be counted as one. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made such a big effort to support you. When Zhao Qingzhou heard this, he was very considerate of Song Lizong's situation in the power of the ministers, but he still remembered Jiang Ning's father in his heart: "The ministers are loved by the official family, and they should never give up, but Jiang Ning's affairs are complicated, and they really can't ignore it." ”

"What? Do you think you will be blessed to stay in Lin'an? Zhao and Ju pretended to be displeased, he understood Zhao Qingzhou's personality, so he had to analyze him at a deeper level, he said in a low voice: "You mentioned in the last chapter that Shi Miyuan connived at the annexation of Liangtian by his cronies, and I asked people to secretly investigate, and sure enough, as you said, that Long's manor, dozens of miles from north to south, has almost been close to the territory of the people of the Jin Kingdom, I am worried, this is what Shi Miyuan meant, it is not a good thing for him to be close to the Jin Kingdom like this, and he needs to be guarded against from time to time." ”

Zhao Qingzhou's eyes widened: "What did the official family say?" Zhao Heju suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhao Qingzhou's arm: "On weekdays, he doesn't care how powerful he is, but I will never allow it, some people have the intention of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and give the Zhao family to others." Qingzhou Qianqian owed a debt: "The official family, when the minister was in Jiangning, he also had this kind of worry, the Shi family framed the minister, perhaps because he was worried that the Long family would not be able to continue to buy land, otherwise the minister really couldn't understand why he wanted to put the minister to death."
