In the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one is asleep at the moment. Qin Guoxi knelt a few meters away in front of Shi Miyuan, and told what he saw and heard in Dali Temple tonight. However, he didn't mention anything about making a deal with Zhang Yunhua and them, only saying that Cheng Shuqin also sent someone to visit him in prison. Shi Miyuan's face became heavier and heavier, and finally it was extremely cold, he snorted, grabbed the Junyao sea-patterned tea cup that he had just obtained from Cao Kechun today on the table, and even smashed the cup with water on Qin Guoxi's body, and the cup fell to the ground and immediately shattered into several petals.

The two maids standing behind Shi Miyuan, Qiu Cicada and Winter Sparrow, exclaimed in a low voice, and hurriedly stepped forward, one picked up the porcelain pieces on the ground, and the other took out a handkerchief to wipe the tea that had splashed his face for Qin Guoxi. Qin Guoxi knelt still, he knew that tonight's matter was messed up, and Shi Miyuan was bound to be furious. If there is still some credit in this mission, it is that the fake holy decree was brought back, and it did not fall into the hands of Zheng Degang of Dali Temple.

"Tong Defang, Cheng Shuqin, Zhao Qingzhou, Xiang Yuanchao......" Shi Miyuan read the names of these people, and then added another person: "There is also Zhang Guifei." This group of people is gathered together, and they are so familiar with the official family, which can be described as a big trouble for us. Qin Guoxi waved his hand to let Qiu Cicada and Winter Sparrow out, he was a regular guest of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and commanding his subordinates was as natural as being in his own mansion.

"Prime Minister, how should we deal with it?" Qin Guoxi is a military general, brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, but when he takes off his armor and goes inside and outside the palace curtain, it is difficult to show his fists and feet, and he is only willing to be at the mercy of Shi Miyuan. Shi Miyuan said: "Cao Kechun and Du Jinping will be found at this moment, and the case and final documents that will be tried by the three divisions today have been changed." "Changed?" Qin Guoxi was a little surprised: "I have been convicted, how can I change it?" ”

Shi Miyuan was a little angry at Qin Guoxi's lack of enlightenment, and he said: "How can you convict if the evidence is insufficient? The old man originally thought that the official family Long Yan was angry and wanted to deal with Zhao Qingzhou, so he wanted to quickly and quickly push the boat to put him in prison and executed, so as not to lose his anger in a few days and reinstate him as an official. But that Tong Defang entered the palace today, which ruined my big thing. Now it seems that the official family wants to protect him, so we can only change the capital crime to no guilt, and play tomorrow. ”

"But the prime minister ......" Qin Guoxi knelt and moved forward three feet: "Xiaguan has read out the conviction in Dali Temple today according to your wishes, Zheng Degang must have told Tong Defang about this, and the official family will also know about it." If it is changed, the lower officials should ...... How to deal with yourself? "Lord Qin according to my will?" Shi Miyuan's tone overshadowed him: "The old man just asked you to visit in prison, and he didn't let you convey anything." Qin Guoxi raised his head in horror when he heard this, and saw a little fierce light in Shi Miyuan's eyes.

Qin Guoxi is too familiar with Shi Miyuan's expression, every time he borrows the strength of others to succeed and cross the river and demolish the bridge, he will show such a face. Qin Guoxi originally thought that he and Shi Miyuan were in line with the outside world, but he never thought that such a face would one day face him. There was a sadness in his heart, what was life and death together, Shi Miyuan just regarded him as a chess piece.

For those useless chess pieces, Shi Miyuan has to throw them out or block, or scapegoat, in order to be a paving stone for his future. And a useful chess piece like Qin Guoxi, even if he has no choice but to put him in danger for a while, he will go around in all directions afterwards and rescue him. Qin Guoxi understands this truth, and he is not only useful, he also has 100,000 forbidden troops in his hands, if Shi Miyuan does not care about his feelings and pushes Qin Guoxi to death, the iron cavalry of the forbidden army will not dare to set foot in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this moment, Shi Miyuan suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha, Guoxi, a joke scared you like this." Do you really think that the old man wants you to be a shield? No, when the day dawns, you will call yourself sick and go to the court, and the things in the court will be turned around by your own old man. "Ah, thank you, Prime Minister." Qin Guoxi pretended to be happy, but his heart was not very steady.

Shi Miyuan nodded and said, "Okay, time is pressing, you should bring someone to find Cao and Du first." By the way, don't forget to ask them to bring the official seal. "Yes." Qin Guoxi got up from the ground, turned around and went out, but as soon as he walked to the door, he turned around and asked, "Prime Minister, what about the official seal of Dali Temple?" "Before going to court, I will ask Zheng Degang to personally fill the big seal." Shi Miyuan sounded rather unhurried. "But if he refuses—" "Go, I have my own way." ”

Qin Guoxi walked out, and Shi Miyuan took a deep breath and said, "Come out." Behind the screen next to the bookshelf, Hou Xin walked out, and the scar on the bridge of his nose was very obvious under the candlelight. Prime Minister—" Hou Xin stood where Qin Guoxi was kneeling just now. "What else did you say—what else did Xian'er say?" "Long Yuanwai said, Wang Hui and they have found out that it is ink, our secret line killed the shopkeeper Rong in order to save his life, and now he has been taken to the county office, I don't know if he confessed."

"A bunch of trash." Shi Miyuan scolded, there was no good news everywhere, and he even had a little doubt that his calculation of Zhao Qingzhou was like lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot. "That's what the prime minister said." Hou Xin arched his hand to cater to the road. Shi Miyuan said again: "But it's okay if the shopkeeper Rong is dead, Xian'er wrote to me before that this person recently wanted to use the recipe of cuttlefish juice to exchange it for silver taels in the ghost market, and take the family back to Ganzhou." He knew too much to just let him go. ”

"Yes, Prime Minister, now that the shopkeeper Rong is dead, there is no evidence in this case, and you and Long Yuanwai will not be involved." Hou Xin's voice was cold, and he seemed to have no emotion all along. "What's that dark line?" Shi Miyuan asked. "Longsail." Hou Xin said these two words lightly: "It is the child whose parents died on the way to Shu with the Zhao family." ”

Shi Miyuan remembered that a few months ago, he took great pains to find someone who could enter the Zhao Mansion to poison him. But Zhao Qingzhou is honest and simple, and the servants in the palace are all set by the officials, so it is difficult to send his own people in at will. So Shi Miyuan thought that he could buy off the people around Zhao Qingzhou who could directly touch his food and clothing, so he sent someone to secretly observe and noticed the little Changfan who was always sullen around Qingzhou.

No matter how good the friendship between two people in the world is, if someone deliberately separates, there is no one who cannot be separated, Shi Miyuan thought so. Maybe it's because he has experienced too many things, and he has always been reluctant to trust anyone, even if it's his wife and concubine, even if it's the two maidservants who have been raised by his side since childhood. He sometimes said to Hou Zhen: If the original prince Zhao Hong could understand this truth, he would not have lost his life in the hands of this woman.

So Shi Miyuan sent Hou Xin to find the details of Changfan, from Jiangning to Lin'an, from Lin'an to Tongjiang, Hou Xin went to every place where someone knew Zhao Qingzhou and Changfan. When he spread out this child's whole life in pieces in front of Shi Miyuan, Shi Miyuan concluded that the master and servant could be separated.
