In fact, Qin Zheng's choice last time was correct.

He did not stop the investigation because he was involved in the Dingguo Mansion, but continued to investigate, but who knew that he found more clues along the way.

At the same time, the incident that had been investigated before also unexpectedly got a result.

"During the spring ploughing, the emperor was assassinated, and the assassin was an old Taoist priest. After that, the Taoist priest committed suicide in prison, but what committed suicide was a nail. ”

However, in the torture room where the old Taoist priest was imprisoned, he couldn't reach even half a wire, not to mention nails.

At that time, Qin Zheng suspected that there was a traitor, and in order to find the traitor, he released Chunxiao together, but he didn't know about it externally, but he strictly guarded it internally.

Originally, for the first time, the old beggar should not have run away, it was Qin Zheng who deliberately let him go in order to catch the traitor. But after that, the mole was successfully arrested, and the old beggar and Chunxiao didn't know it.

It was only then that there was a second arrest.

And that time, Bai Wuyuan appeared at the right time, rescued Chunxiao, and then came to reach a consensus with him.

Use another clue to exchange for the peace of Chunxiao.

Qin Zheng covered up the affairs of the Red Lotus Sect, told these things one by one, and said at the end: "Now that the traitor has been arrested, and the people behind the scenes have also been brought out, the saint is furious when he hears this, and wants me to find out the real culprit." And the few people arrested recently are all related to it. If you think about it, there will be results in a few days, and you don't have to worry about the chaos in Beijing for a few days. ”

Qin Zheng said it very lightly, and the front and back were tightly sealed, Gu Jiu immediately believed it.

But in fact, Qin Zheng didn't say everything.

For example, the old Taoist priest refused to confess when he was killed, and he never committed suicide after all kinds of torture. But after learning that Chunxiao was arrested, he committed suicide strangely.

Why?

Is it true that he can't bear to torture?

No, it can only be said that he and Chunxiao must be inextricably linked, and even Qin Zheng can guess it.

The old Taoist priest, Chunxiao's biological father.

It was also an extremely important member of the Red Lotus Sect before it.

But because of his death and the long history of the matter, even if he has caught several people from the Red Lotus Sect now, he has not come up with half of the identity of the old Taoist.

There is also Bai Wuyuan's whereabouts.

In the words of the other party, he happened to appear there, and when he saw Chunxiao fighting with someone, his first reaction was to knock people out and rescue Chunxiao.

Later, I learned that I was in trouble, so I came to make amends.

But what about the facts.

Qin Zheng didn't believe this statement, but he didn't find out what was worth doubting.

But sometimes, seamlessness is the biggest loophole.

He bent his lips slightly, hiding the coldness in his eyebrows.

Bai Wuyuan took Chunxiao's peace and came to Qin Zheng in exchange for the rest of the people.

And among those people, according to his investigation, there are people from all sides.

For example, the second prince, the third prince, and even the eldest prince.

Either these people are related to the Red Lotus Sect, or someone is taking this opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

The more chaotic the water in this pool, the more room there is for maneuvering.

These people and things are like a huge net, it is clear that Qin Zheng has successfully untied the matter, but he inexplicably feels that he seems to have fallen into a trap.

Someone wants him to obediently follow the lead.

Qin Zheng twisted his eyebrows, swept away the coldness in his eyes, and spoke again: "It's not too early, let's go back to the house first?" ”

Hearing Qin Zheng's words, Gu Jiu also came back to his senses and nodded obediently: "Okay." ”

She only knew that Qin Zheng was very busy outside these days, but she didn't expect that the other party was busy with such a difficult matter.

In her previous life, she never knew that the emperor was almost assassinated, let alone what happened afterward, so now even if she wants to help Qin Zheng, she is a little powerless.

Gu Jiu was a little annoyed for a while, and his appearance seemed much more well-behaved.

Qin Zheng didn't notice it at first, but when he saw that the little girl followed him into the carriage and still looked taciturn, he was a little misunderstood.

"Scared?"

The man's gentle voice brought Gu Jiu back to his senses, and he hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "No." ”

She thought about it, and when she saw the blue and black under Qin Zheng's eyebrows, she couldn't help it, and said softly: "I just think it can't help you." ”

Qin Zheng might as well say this, but she was stunned for a moment. Central Plains Book Bar

If he wants to gag a person's mouth on weekdays, he has a hundred and eighty kinds of words, and he will choke people speechless without repetition.

But right now, Gu Jiu's straight ball made Qin Zheng stunned.

He even forgot what to say, but when he saw that the person in front of him was sincerely distressed and blamed himself, he couldn't help it anymore, stretched out his hand, and took her in his arms.

The man's breath suddenly invaded, and Gu Jiu's eyes widened instantly, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

She opened her mouth to speak, but as if the man had seen it in advance, she said softly, "Don't move." ”

Gu Jiu didn't dare to move for an instant.

It was Qin Zheng, when he held her in his arms, she couldn't see her appearance, and her earlobes turned red presumptuously.

It took him a long time before he let go of Gu Jiu, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of softness: "Look, didn't this help me?" ”

Qin Zheng's appearance was too frank, Gu Jiu almost thought that he had misunderstood, could it be that in Qin Zheng's concept, hugging is something that everyone can do?

She just thought so in her heart, and she heard Qin Zheng say softly: "Ah Jiu, I don't have many relatives. ”

Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked up at Qin Zheng, and saw that the other party was extremely sincere: "You are also one of them." ”

……

It wasn't until he returned to the room that Gu Jiu's mind couldn't help but think about the meaning of this sentence.

So, in Qin Zheng's heart, has she become his relative?

Gu Jiu was happy for a while and sour for a while, leaned on the side of the bed, and covered the string of Buddhist beads in his heart, but he couldn't help but sigh.

Happily, at least in his heart, her place was different.

And the sour thing is that they are clearly husband and wife, at least nominally.

She hoped to have Qin Zheng's love between men and women, but she was covered with a layer of family love by him.

But, that's different.

Qin Zheng didn't know what he said, which caused Gu Jiu to be sleepless all night again.

He thought he had said it clearly enough.

Qin Zheng does not have many relatives in this life, one mother and one wife.

Lin is his biological mother, and with his life, he gave him the company of the first half of his life; And Gu Jiu is a partner for him, hand in hand with him, and accompany him for the rest of his life.

So, how to measure the lover, that is the relative.

Although there is no blood connection, the two hearts are incompatible.

After Qin Zheng ordered his subordinates to go out, he opened the small box at the head of the bed, where there was a letter of harmony and departure signed by him.

He subconsciously wanted to tear it off, but he didn't know what to think, and he bent his lips again.

Tonight's events seemed to be smoother than he imagined, at least after he finished confessing, Gu Jiu's expression was shy.

It's just that he is still a little reckless, otherwise why wouldn't she dare to look at her later?

That's it, this and the book are still kept first, and when they turn back, they tear it in front of the girl, which can be regarded as untying the knot between the two of them.

On this night, the two speakers intended to listen to the heart, and the meaning of a sentence was different, but they lost sleep in the same way.

……

Early in the morning of the second day, Qin Zheng ignored the fact that he couldn't go to Qinghei, and the idea of going to see Gu Jiu was forced to be suppressed.

With such vicissitudes of life, she still didn't let her see it.

Qin Zheng suppressed the urge to see Gu Jiu and went straight to Dali Temple.

I didn't know that Gu Jiu at this time was sighing at the dark circles in the mirror.

"Miss, didn't you sleep well at night?"

When Gu Jiu sighed for the Nth time, Bai Zhu finally couldn't help it, and walked over and asked her softly. It's just that she is obviously in a bad mood, so even the tone of the question is cautious.

Gu Jiu didn't notice it, he just shook his head when he heard this, and said with his cheeks in his hands: "No." ”

Where did she not sleep well, it was clear that she didn't sleep!

The night was both happy and sad, tossing and turning in bed, and she was about to bake herself into a cake.

Thinking of this, she sighed again, thinking that she was going to the plum garden today, so she simply left these things behind, and asked Baizhu to apply two more layers of powder to herself, so as to cover the paleness on her face.

In the next two days, Qin Zheng never returned home.

At the same time, the DPRK and China finally became chaotic as Qin Zheng said.
