Chapter 26: The Secret of the Vase
Li Lin's counterattack to Zhao Zhen was deeply imprinted in Yuan Shu's mind.
Yuan Shu circulated the scene of Zhao Zhen being killed in seconds in his mind over and over again, and his heart was infinitely happy, which was a scene he had wanted to see for many years.
Recently, even sleeping at night, replaying this scene in his dreams can make him wake up with a smile.
This behavior frightened King Rong and almost went to ask Imperial Doctor Wen again.
And Zheng Guogong didn't know from whom, and he was a little angry when he heard that Li Lin went to Taixuefu. After returning from the next dynasty, he asked Li Lin: "What are you doing as a girl in Taixue?" ”
Li Qi saw that his grandfather was about to get angry, so he hurriedly protected him and said, "Grandpa, it's okay to go to a class." ”
"You don't know the severity either!" Zheng Guogong's anger did not decrease.
"Do you know that Lu Fuzi is already sick."
"No, this kind of master who has traveled through heaven and earth can actually get sick." Li Lin said with teasing.
Seeing that she didn't feel guilty at all, Zheng Guogong shouted: "No big or small, take the family law!" ”
Li Qi was startled and waved his hand at Li Lin, signaling her not to talk to her grandfather.
The subordinate respectfully took the rattan, and Zheng Guogong was just about to reach out to take it, but he heard a voice: "Stop!" ”
I saw Yuan Shu dressed in a beard and came to the mansion of Zheng Guogong.
Several people were surprised to see him suddenly arrive.
Yuan Shu said: "Lu Fuzi is sick because he is very physical, and he is not good, that day it was just a debate in the school to express his opinions, and those of us who listened to the lecture didn't say anything, why did Zheng Guogong lose his temper?" ”
Zheng Guogong was embarrassed for a moment, retracted his hand with the rattan, and said, "How can a woman go there!" ”
Yuan Shu relieved the siege: "No one stipulates that women must not go." ”
Seeing him speak for Li Lin like this, Zheng Guogong was embarrassed not to give face, and said to Li Lin in a pretended majesty: "It's always no big or small, you go and clean up the table!" ”
Li Lin stood up, patted his sleeve to clean up, and Yuan Shu took the first step to get the cloth in her hand. Say, "I'll help you." ”
Li Qi raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene.
Zheng Guogong also felt that something was wrong when he saw Yuan Shu's actions.
How did this kid change his temperament today......
Li Lin also felt that Yuan Shu was a little weird, and asked him, "Didn't you say that you won't talk to me anymore?" You are you, I am me. ”
Yuan Shu smiled embarrassedly, and the young man's face was actually a little more childish: "I will take this sentence back......"
Li Lin looked at him: "How can you take back what a man said?" ”
She retrieved the rag from his hand and wiped the table.
Yuanshu followed her: "Actually, I happened to be passing by and came to take a look." ”
Li Chengzhu, who was on the side, saw Yuan Shu there, and muttered in his heart: "I just passed by at the meal......"
Li Lin put the table away and didn't say anything more, and Yuan Shu followed behind her inch by inch.
During the meal, Li Lin sat at one end of the table, and Yuan Shu pulled a chair to sit next to Li Lin for the first time, and helped her with chopsticks very diligently.
This kind of behavior is seen by everyone.
Zheng Guogong couldn't help but reach out and hook Li Qi.
Whispered, "What's wrong with this little guy?" ”
Li Qi pursed his lips: "I don't know!" ”
Zheng Guogong pointed to his head: "It won't be broken here......
Li Qi shook his head and glanced at Yuan Shu again, Yuan Shu's eyes were secretly looking at Li Lin when he was eating, and he showed the expression of a fan brother from time to time.
After the meal, Li Lin walked around the garden with a sword, and Yuan Shu followed her at just the right distance.
Li Qi stood on the rockery and watched this scene, shook his head helplessly, and secretly turned back into the secret room of the study.
"Haha, your nephew is already abnormal, following Li Lin like a tail."
He said to Zhao Zhen, who was half-lying in a chair.
No one knew that Zhao Zhen was in the secret room at this time.
Zhao Zhen replied leisurely: "I don't know what that kid thinks in his heart?" Li Lin is going to be in trouble. ”
The bandage on Zhao Zhen's hand was wrapped around the bowl as thick.
"Big brother, you don't have to exaggerate so much, it's just a dislocation." Li Qi looked at his hand and said.
Zhao Zhen picked it up and shook it: "Being defeated by a woman really can't cure her crime, it's really unspeakable." However, this incident reminded me that I am now claiming that I was injured by a fall while riding a horse, and it just so happens that I don't need to go to the ancestor worship next month. ”
Li Qi laughed a few times, took a sip of tea with a cup, the expression on his face naturally switched excessively, and said in a serious voice: "Let you come and see something!" ”
He took out a burden and put it on the table, the burden was stained with dirt, Zhao Zhen raised his face and glanced at him, and reached out to open it.
It's a pile of vase fragments.
He looked at Li Qi, who nodded and said, "The last one." ”
Zhao Zhen gently picked up a leaf fragment and looked at it: "It's no different from the usual." ”
Li Qi took two steps: "The five vases of the previous dynasty have all been broken so far, and nothing has been found. ”
"No one knows you mean it, right?" Zhao Zhen asked.
Li Qi shook his head: "Li Lin and Ji An made a fake, which was broken by Ah Xiu and buried in the back garden, and no one knew that this real vase fragment was dug out by me." ”
Zhao Zhen looked at the pile of debris again and again, and it was already broken.
Suddenly, his hand slammed on the table: "Could it be that we are going in the wrong direction?" ”
"I suspect we were fooled."
Li Qi said: "Maybe it has nothing to do with the vase from the beginning, it was Liu Nian who was lying to us!" ”
Zhao Zhen fell to the table in disappointment: "But his wife and children are in our hands, what's the use of lying to us?" ”
Li Qi waved his hand and said, "Let's try it again in the next two days......
In the dimly lit cell, Li Qi walked down the stairs.
In the depths of the cell was a swarthy man bound in iron chains, without a single piece of flesh and skin from head to toe
"There's nothing in the vase, what do you have to say?" Li Qi asked coldly.
The locked man weakly said, "I have told you everything I know, and it is your business to find it..."
Li Qi warned: "Don't play tricks! ”
The man smiled hard: "My family is in your hands, what tricks can you play now." ”
Li Qi shook his fan for a few steps, and said with an unkind face: "What happened that night, tell it again!" ”
The locked man smiled bitterly: "Let me say it 100 more times." ”
"That night things happened suddenly, Prince An has been in his study, I vaguely saw through the window what he carved in the vase, I wanted to sneak into the study, but I didn't expect the forbidden army to break into the palace immediately after the palace to take people, a wail, I was in a hurry to run away and didn't care about the bottle, and then Prince An died by the neck, I don't know what was carved..."
When Li Qi recounted these words to Zhao Zhen again, Zhao Zhen was already a little impatient,
These words have been confessed to him countless times, and he has listened and listened to them.
More than ten years ago, when the emperor found out that his younger brother King An had secretly embroidered a dragon robe, and when he investigated and dealt with King An's mansion, Prince An committed suicide and became a mystery.
Later, when Dali Temple was thoroughly investigated, several felonies were directly pointed at this prince, saying that King An spent more than one million taels to build weapons before and after.
"30,000 fine weapons!" Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Even if you throw it anywhere, it can be piled up into a mountain, but I haven't found out my whereabouts so far, my father has become more and more stupid in the past two years, and this case has dragged on like this after Uncle An's self-determination." ”
Zhao Zhen knew in his heart how terrifying these ice blades would be if they really existed.
Intuition told him that Uncle An couldn't do this alone, and he must have a helper.
Zhao Zhen suspected the third brother and the sixth brother, but they were gradually overthrown over the years, the two elder brothers were not minors at that time, it was impossible for them to have such great ability at that age, and the position of the prince was even less clear at that time, who would take such a big risk to do such a thing of extermination.
"There must be a person who sleek and hid in the middle of the court and escaped a catastrophe."
There is no doubt that this man will be an immeasurable stumbling block to himself.
The secret of the vase is now known only to the two of them, and Li Qi and Zhao Zhen feel that the vase is likely to be the whereabouts of the blade!
An Wang Ye is Zhao Zhen's uncle, who has experienced countless battlefield battles and is a brave general.
The few vases in his study were all some trophies, and the emperor naturally looked down on them, and later gave them to different ministers, one of whom was Zheng Guogong.
That is, half a year ago, Zhao Zhen and Li Qi worked hard to finally catch Liu Nian, the housekeeper of Anwang's Mansion who had been on the run for many years, and imprisoned him.
He told the secret hidden in the vase.
In the past six months, Zhao Zhen and Li Qi used different methods, either stealing, robbing or accidentally damaging until they destroyed all the vases, but found nothing.
The last Zheng Guogong also got his hands on it, but it was a pity in vain.
Li Qi patted Zhao Zhen and said with relief: "There will always be a way, there must be something missing."
