Hearing Qin Zheng's instructions, Zheng Huailuo instantly restrained his joking look and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord, this matter is on me." ”

Although Zheng Huailuo looked at Jiao'er Lang on weekdays, he never dragged his feet in business.

What's more, this time is extraordinary.

This man was caught by the emperor before the spring ploughing ceremony, when he disguised himself as a Taoist priest who prayed for blessings and tried to assassinate him, but fortunately he found it in time and did not let the emperor have an accident.

But the emperor was furious and ordered Dali Temple to interrogate him strictly, and he must ask who is behind this person.

There are more than 100 people involved in this matter, and Dali Temple pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, and finally involved a lot of old things.

But this fake Taoist priest is the only one, but his mouth is very strict, and he has been arrested for more than 20 days, and he gritted his teeth and refused to say anything.

Through other people's mouths, the truth of the matter has been almost restored, but Qin Zheng suspects that there is a truth in the mouth of this Taoist priest that they don't know, so Dali Temple almost takes turns.

However, this Taoist priest is really the head iron, and he has not asked anything useful until now. Qin Zheng's patience had already run out, if he hadn't been left to ask, I was afraid that this person's life would have been lost a few times.

I don't want to do it today, Taoist Peak turns around.

Qin Zheng pinched his eyebrows, thought about it, and then ordered: "There is also that drama troupe, strictly investigate." Be careful when you take people there this time, don't startle the snake. I suspect that there are people from the Red Lotus Sect in there. ”

The fake Taoist priest had the totem of the Red Lotus Sect on her body, and after Chunxiao was brought in today, she had already been inspected, but her body was clean, and there was no messy totem.

But Qin Zheng still doubted her.

At that time, he just relied on Chunxiao's words to have a little weird intuition, and it turned out later that his intuition was right.

The fake Taoist priest really knew Chunxiao, and looking at his expression, the relationship between the two must be unusual.

It's just that I don't know if my guess is right, will he be the one who gave Bai Wuyuan the verdict back then?

Hearing Qin Zheng's words, Zheng Huailuo naturally knew that the matter was very important, so he said respectfully: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates understand." ”

"Hmm."

Qin Zheng nodded in response, seeing that it was not too early, he got up and ordered his subordinates to go home early, and after the instructions, he also went back to the Ming State Mansion first.

At this moment, the sky was completely dark, only the lanterns hung on both sides of the street, but the sparse shadows of the night added a little desolation.

The night is as cool as water.

Qin Zheng returned all the way back to the Ming State Mansion, followed the light reflected by the lantern, and stepped into the Guijiu Courtyard by moonlight.

Before I entered the door, I heard the lively laughter inside.

The room was brightly lit, and Gu Jiu's laughter came from inside, she was talking to Mama, and there was a girl's coquettishness in her voice: "Mama is like this again, I won't do it." ”

Even the coquettish voice came with a bit of arrogance. But as it sounds, it's kind of cute.

Qin Zheng kept pausing, but he didn't want to hear Baizhu's voice behind him: "Greetings to the prince, why don't you go in?" ”

She was still carrying a snack box in her hand, and when she saw Qin Zheng, she smiled and saluted first.

Qin Zheng came back to his senses at this time, coughed, and said, "Let's go in." ”

After speaking, he first lifted the curtain and walked in.

The people in the room heard the movement, and they saluted with a hula: "Say hello to the prince." ”

Qin Zheng nodded in response, handed over the coat to his subordinates, and looked at Gu Jiu.

She still held a half-cut window flower in her hand, and a small gold pair of scissors in her right hand, which she cut and swayed, but with the way she folded them now, she couldn't tell what she was doing.

When Gu Jiu saw him coming, the smile on his face was not accepted, because he got up and said, "The prince is back." ”

Qin Zheng responded and asked again, "What is this doing?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiu smiled and threw the window aside casually, and Hao Ran said, "It's just boring, but it's time for dinner, I'll pass the food to someone." ”

She just learned how to cut window flowers with Mama Zhao a few times on a whim, but the finished product was too ugly to be elegant, let alone show it to others.

Seeing her expression, Qin Zheng guessed a few points, the little girl has a good face, it must be cut badly, otherwise she would have taken it out happily to show off. Just go and listen to the book

Therefore, he didn't ask much, only smiled and nodded, and he went to the inner room to change his clothes.

The clothes on his body were dyed in Dali Temple, and after changing them, Qin Zheng thought about it, took out the balm again, wiped a little on his wrist, and walked out.

When I went to the outer room to clean my hands, I sat down at the table and waited for dinner.

Gu Jiu was already waiting at the dinner table.

The little bits and pieces that she had used to play with before were put away by the maids, she was bored holding chopsticks at the moment, and the other hand was holding her cheek and waiting for Qin Zheng to come out.

Previously, Qin Zheng said that he would come back for dinner at night, so Gu Jiu asked the kitchen to make more and waited for him to come back to eat.

In the past half day, she has been a little hungry for a long time.

After the meal was ready, Qin Zheng was stunned, and then raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Thank you, madam." ”

He didn't expect that Gu Jiu would really order someone to make him a table of vegetarian food.

And after taking a bite, I found that there was not even meat oil in it.

It's really accommodating to my own tastes.

Qin Zheng originally just said it casually, but when he saw these meals at this time, he was funny and at the same time, he felt a little warm in his heart.

Instead, Gu Jiu smiled and said: "The prince is working hard today, it is rare for you to make a request, how can the concubine not agree." ”

Hearing this, Qin Zheng couldn't help but smile and said, "It's an honor." ”

The round table in the room was not big, and Gu Jiu was sitting close to Qin Zheng, and he could clearly smell the fragrance on his body.

It was the smell of the balm, Qin Zheng's usual breath, smelling clear and reassuring.

It's just that it's different from ordinary times, but today it's mixed with a bit of blood.

Gu Jiu's hand holding the chopsticks paused, raised his eyes to look at Qin Zheng, and saw that the expression on the other party's face was as usual, and he swallowed all the words he wanted to ask.

Today's interrogation of the prisoner, it is common for him to have blood on his body.

What's more, it's better for her not to ask about official business.

Gu Jiu thought like this in his heart, and there was a bit of absent-mindedness on his face.

Qin Zheng glanced at her, and then said with a smile: "Say, what do you want to ask?" ”

This girl thought she was hiding her emotions well, but she didn't know that what she wanted to say was engraved on her face.

When Gu Jiu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and said, "No, no." ”

It was only in Qin Zheng's smiling gaze that she sneered and said, "Hmm, it's a bit of a matter - is today's interrogation going well?" ”

Qin Zheng looked at her expression before, and guessed that she wanted to ask this, and it was not surprising at this time, while sandwiching the dishes, he nodded casually and said, "Well, it's very smooth." ”

Bai Linyuan confessed directly, as for Bai Wuyuan, it was just a game process, although he hadn't completely told the truth so far, but at least what he wanted to know had already been obtained from the other party's mouth.

Thinking of this, Qin Zheng glanced at her again, and for no reason he heard Gu Jiu's words in the daytime, so he added: "What, are you feeling sorry for Bai Wuyuan, are you worried that something will happen to him because of this?" ”

It was rare for him to express his emotions so bluntly when he spoke, and even Gu Jiu could see that the other party was in a bad mood when he said this.

She paused for a moment, not quite understanding why Qin Zheng suddenly changed his mood, but when she heard what he said, she shook her head and said: "He is an outsider, and he has nothing to do with me, just listen to it as a gossip, worry about what he does." ”

Hearing this, Qin Zheng glanced at her, and after confirming that the other party was indeed not lying, he sneered again: "Then what do you want to ask?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Jiu bit his lip.

She actually wanted to say something about Bai Wuyuan, but she didn't know whether to say it or not.

It's just that under Qin Zheng's gaze at her, she couldn't help but say: "It's not that I'm asking anything, I just want to remind the prince of the world - you must be careful of Bai Wuyuan." ”

Qin Zheng didn't expect her to say this, so he was stunned.

He rarely has emotions very outward, but this time, he was a little distracted, and more of a disbelief.
