The murderer was caught in an abandoned City God Temple in Chengdong, and some people took the initiative to confess clues, saying that there were sneaky people in the City God Temple, and when Song Dan arrived, the murderer was resting, running for a day and a night, can you not be tired? As a result, as soon as he rested, he was caught by Song Dan and others.

Song Dan searched out Zhou Min's portrait from his arms, and after being arrested and returned to the Criminal Department, he saw Zhou Yanshan, smacked him in the face, and said hatefully: "Why did Lao Tzu forget you in the first place!" Dog officer! ”

Li Bu deliberately deceived Zhou Yanshan and asked him if he was a murderer, Zhou Yanshan was much more sober, so he was not fooled, and said that he didn't know: "I didn't see his face clearly, and I can't be sure that he is the murderer." ”

Li Bu curled his lips and smiled: "Really? Then he said to Shangshu of the Criminal Department: "Since the real murderer has been caught, then let Zhou Shaoxue go, Zhou Shaoxue, this official is also trying the case, and he will attack you more heavily, you must not hold a grudge against this official!" ”

How could Zhou Yanshan not hear the irony in his words, and after being put down, he bowed deeply to him and said: "Guogong is also for the truth, the lower officials can understand, how can they blame Guogong?" ”

"That's good." Li Bu waved his hand and asked the two of them to carry Zhou Yanshan out: "Take Zhou Shaoxue to see the doctor, this bloody body looks so hideous." ”

Zhou Yanshan was carried out, and when he went out, he saw Luo Fu standing outside the cell door, and he was busy kneeling down and saluting, wanting to cry first, looking very sad: "Your Highness...... The minister is guilty! ”

Luo Fu barely pretended to be calm and asked him: "Zhou Shanxue has suffered, get up quickly, what are you guilty of?" ”

"Chen was with Miss Zhou at the time, but ...... But he didn't protect Miss Zhou, please surrender to His Royal Highness! ”

"Look at what you said, so many people couldn't stop a killer from committing a murder, Zhou Shaoxue doesn't know kung fu, and he was seriously injured, of course he can't stop the murderer, I don't blame you, you tried your best, the injury is so serious, go back and heal."

Zhou Yanshan was sure that Li Bu didn't absolutely believe him, but Luo Shi was not sure.

He knew that someone was checking him, and he also knew that the person who was checking him was Li Bu, Li Bu didn't like him from the first time they met, but his impression in Luo Fu's heart should be okay, maybe Luo Fu was also suspicious of him, but according to the eldest princess's temperament, there would be no evidence to target him so much, and Li Bu listened to Luo Fu's ......

Zhou Yanshan thought to himself that as long as he could dispel Luo Fu's doubts about him, he would still be able to gain a firm foothold in the court.

But now is not the time.

Luo Fu looked at his back as he walked away, his hands clenched in his sleeves, and muttered to himself: "Zhou Yanshan, you'd better hide your tail." ”

After the captured assassin took all the crimes, he committed suicide in prison without waiting for trial, and he didn't even have a chance to ask the question of why he killed Zhou Min so that he could show his feet.

And Zhou Xun still believed that Zhou Yanshan was innocent until the day of Zhou Min's burial.

Colleagues in the Hanlin Academy also felt that Zhou Yanshan was clearly a victim, but he was tortured as a murderer, and he was wronged by so many injuries for no reason.

But they were all warned back by Zhou Yanshan jokingly: "The eldest princess and the prince also act according to the rules, in that case, I am indeed the most suspicious person, and it is indeed that I did not protect Miss Zhou, and the punishments I received should be regarded as I making amends for Miss Zhou, right?" ”

After that, he showed a sad and remorseful expression.

Luo Fu listened to the narration of the visitor, and pulled the corners of his mouth: "That's what he told you?" ”

"The minister's relay, word for word!"

The person who reported the news was a calligrapher in the Hanlin Academy, named Du Chang'an, Zhou Yanshan's set was indeed very able to win people's hearts, but it was not of much use to people like Du Changan, who lived in sweet words when he was a child.

Du Changan's father is a well-known tea merchant in the capital, just such a son as him, he is afraid of falling in his hand and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, and the whole family is like a baby pimple that hurts him, he expected him to inherit the family business, but he patted his ass and went to be an official.

But Rao is like this, his father didn't say anything, his father can last for another ten years, and he hopes that after his career has been blocked for more than ten years, he may be able to change his mind and come back to inherit the family business.

Du Changan is a rare person in the Hanlin Academy, a group of scholars and literati in the Hanlin Academy, they are all literary and crepe when they talk on weekdays, many of them are boiled out of hard days, Zhou Yanshan knows the background of each of them, and prescribes the right medicine according to each person's experience and personality, and the speed of buying people's hearts is admirable.

But this trick is useless to Du Changan, he has never suffered hardships, and he has lived all his life to be smooth and obedient, with confidants and fathers who understand him, which makes Zhou Yanshan have no loopholes to exploit, which also makes Du Changan the most "polite" person in the Hanlin Courtyard and Zhou Yanshan.

Later, Zhou Min died, and when Du Changan classified the excerpts and took them to the file, he looked at the details of the file submitted by the Criminal Department Shangshu about Zhou Min's death, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with Zhou Yanshan.

Everyone else has a preconceived good impression of Zhou Yanshan, and this kind of good impression will make people take the initiative to ignore the part of the information that is unfavorable to him, but Du Changan has no good impression of Zhou Yanshan, and since he finished reading the file, he has become more and more aware of Zhou Yanshan's hypocrisy.

Later, Luo Fu came to the Hanlin Academy, saying that he was looking everywhere, but all the questions and investigations were aimed at Zhou Yanshan, and Du Changan became Luo Fu's eyes in the Hanlin Academy at that time.

Luo Shi used a cup of tea, and asked Du Chang'an again: "University scholar Zhang Rui has been recuperating for so long, should he be fine?" ”

Du Changan said: "Lord Zhang occasionally comes to the Hanlin Academy, but he doesn't stay long before leaving, every time he comes, he will find Zhou Yanshan, saying that he will talk about some questions about teaching His Majesty, and the minister looked at Lord Zhang with a red face, thinking that it should be almost fine." ”

Luo Fu snorted and sneered: "Okay, it's almost good, why does the imperial doctor say that there is no improvement every time I go back to see it?" ”

Du Changan said that he didn't know, and he was strange in his heart, Zhang Ruixian had always been in good health before, and he had never heard of any old diseases, and he suddenly fell ill, which was really suspicious.

"Su Wan, you go and ask someone to send a message to Zhang Rui first, just say ......" She nodded her head and thought for a moment: "Let's just say that this palace pities him for being sick but can't recover for a long time, and can't bear to let him work hard, from now on, let him live and cultivate in the mansion, as for the position of a scholar, he has a weak heart, so the palace can only choose a good person to replace him, let him take time to go to the Hanlin Academy to hand over the affairs, and go back to care for the elderly when he is old." "Bashan Academy

Su Wan said yes, and immediately asked people to pass the word.

Du Changan didn't know what he was thinking, hesitated for a moment and said, "The minister has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"No matter what the problem is with Zhou Yanshan, since His Highness already suspects him, let him stay and teach His Majesty...... Not quite right? ”

"Bengong has also thought about this problem, but Zhou Yanshan is just a bait for fishing, there should be other people behind him, what Bengong wants is to catch them all, and now he will only startle the snake, isn't there a Sun Shaoxue who teaches His Majesty together? His Majesty only needs to be literate now, and the rest of the world naturally doesn't need him. ”

Du Changan said yes, and said a few more words before leaving.

Zhou Yanshan is now teaching the emperor as usual, Zhou Min's death does not seem to have any impact on him, Luo Fu sometimes has time to listen to it, he has some skills, Luo Jun learns very quickly, and it is even more rare that he can still remember.

It was already winter, and Su Wan took a big piece to cover Luo's legs.

Sun Shaoxue was teaching Luo Jun to hold a pen, and Zhou Yanshan was free to pour a cup of hot tea for Luo Fu: "Your Highness, drink a cup of water to warm up." ”

How to listen to the sense that he is the master here.

Luo Shi didn't answer: "This palace is not thirsty." ”

"It's not that you have to drink when you're thirsty, Your Highness is not in good health, and it's good to drink hot water often."

Luo Shi didn't even look at him: "Who told you that Bengong is not in good health?" ”

Zhou Yanshan said: "The minister can see it. ”

Luo Fu sneered: "You just saw this palace coughing once, you can conclude that this palace is not in good health, and it is too condescending to be a young student, why don't you be transferred to the hospital?" ”

Zhou Yanshan stepped back and admitted his mistake: "The minister is guilty!" ”

Luo Fu was aggressive: "What are you guilty of?" ”

"The minister knows that His Royal Highness is still resentful of the minister for Miss Zhou's affairs, if His Highness feels unhappy, the minister is willing to accept the punishment, nothing else!"

Sun Shaoxue looked at it on the side, and sighed in his heart, it turned out that it was wrong not to like a person, the eldest princess didn't say anything, but in fact it was still difficult everywhere, Zhou Shaoxue was too difficult!

Luo Fu especially couldn't hear him mention Zhou Min: "That incident has passed, and this palace doesn't want to mention it again." ”

Zhou Yanshan handed over the cup again: "Your Highness, please use tea." ”

A gust of wind suddenly poured in behind him, Li Bu lifted the curtain and came in, took away the tea in Zhou Yanshan's hand, and drank it all: "Your Highness can't drink strong tea, Zhou Shaoxue cares so much about His Highness, but he doesn't even know this?" ”

Zhou Yanshan straightened up and bowed down again: "Xiaguan has seen Grandpa Guo." ”

Li Bu ignored her, grabbed Luo Fu's arm and pulled her up: "I just went to Yuhua Palace and didn't see you, why did you come here?" The list of proposed successors to Zhang Ruixian has come out, let's go back to Yuhua Palace to discuss. ”

Luo Shi got up and left with Li Bu.

Zhou Yanshan was stunned, turned around and asked, "Your Highness wants to dismiss Master Zhang?" ”

Rashiki said, "Yes." ”

Li Bu continued with the words: "He always calls himself sick, and the position of the scholar is not his ancestor, he doesn't when he occupies the pit, and the people below are also anxious when they see it, anyway, he is also old, it is better to abdicate and make way for Xian." ”

Luo Fu said again: "Zhou Shaoxue is Zhang Rui's first hand, and the palace hasn't told him about this matter yet, so it's better for you to pass the word on your behalf." ”

After saying that, the two left together, and Zhou Yanshan froze in place, stunned for a moment and didn't know what to think.

Li Bu saw that she was neck when she came out, so he took off his scarf and put it on for her, and then picked up her hand and put it in his sleeve: "Yesterday, I interrogated a small servant in Zhang Ruixian's family and said that Zhang Ruixian has been secretly taking medicine. ”

"Pretending to be sick?"

Li Bu touched the tip of her nose: "Smart." Exhaled a breath of white air, and said: "Zhang Ruixian's daughter has not seen her for nearly half a year, saying that she was sick and returned to her hometown to recuperate. ”

The winter wind blew like a knife, Luo Fu hid in Li Bu's arms, and said with a smile: "Then it's clear, Zhang Ruixian's daughter was probably kidnapped by someone, and someone asked him to deliberately pretend to be sick and couldn't teach Luo Jun, so he could only replace Zhou Yanshan, and all this was obviously not something Zhou Yanshan could do." ”
