Chapter 286: Acting a Bitter Meat Trick
The assassination of the prince of the dynasty is a capital crime, and the stakes are very high, but since the assassination incident occurred yesterday, a total of hundreds of officers and soldiers have been sent to investigate, but there has been no news from the assassins so far.
Zhao Jing groaned for a while, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that this matter was unusual, and he said: "Let your people pay more attention to the movements of Qingyun Mountain recently!" I'm afraid there aren't many people who dare to assassinate in Qingyun Mountain! ”
So as long as they keep an eye on it, they will definitely be able to find clues.
Liu Cheng was also very curious, he didn't know who such an assassin was besides Zhao Yu and other arrogant people, so he immediately said that he would investigate immediately.
And Qi Yunshu saw Zhao Jing leave suddenly, and he happened to talk to the Wan family about the assassination of the second prince.
"Didn't you say that this Qingyun Mountain is full of royal children, and there are patrolling officers and soldiers everywhere, where did these people come from to commit murder here?" Qi Yunshu said she didn't understand.
"The dispute between the princes has always been cruel, you don't understand the government, and it is common to know the dangerous things in it, it's just that these things have nothing to do with us ordinary people, don't bother with them!"
The Wan family was very caring, knowing that Qi Yunshu didn't want to mention her relationship with the second prince, so she didn't ask superfluous questions along this topic, but just said that since this matter is over, they should also go back!
Speaking of this, Qi Yunshu was a little sorry: "It's all my fault, I originally wanted to bring my wife here to relax, but now I ...... Make it like this! ”
"It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this, I know you're glad that this girl is so bothered about my affairs!"
Wan Shi did not have any symptoms of depression at this time, but was more like an elder who was gentle and loving, which made Qi Yunshu feel moved to overflow in her heart, and said that next time if she had the opportunity, she would definitely invite her to come back as a guest, and at that time she would definitely explore the place in advance, and she would not have to be disturbed by others!
Wan's thinking about Qi Yunshu's thoughtful arrangements yesterday, as well as various interesting activities, are both novel and fun, which is really evocative.
She smiled in response.
After Qi Yunshu explained a few words to Liu Cheng here, the three of them left Zhuangzi and left in a carriage.
Zhao Jing rode in front, Qi Yunshu and Wan sat in the car, the carriage arrived at the Qi State Mansion first, and Wan got off.
On the way back to Zhao's mansion, Zhao Jing climbed into the carriage and sat down, Qi Yunshu was still a little apprehensive, for fear that Zhao Jing would ask her about the relationship between her and Liang Yiming.
But fortunately, he said unusually little today, and just asked her a few words with concern if she was unwell and whether she had other needs.
"I'm fine!" Qi Yunshu was a little relaxed, and a little inexplicably nervous.
The relaxation is that Zhao Jing didn't block her directly and asked, nervously because Zhao Jing was involved in this matter, I am afraid that she will not be able to escape after all.
She will one day have to face her relationship with Liang Yiming in front of Zhao Jing!
Qi Yunshu leaned against the wall of the car, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, now she just wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head, she doesn't think about anything, she doesn't do anything.
As soon as Zhao Jing and his wife entered the door of the Zhao Mansion, Bowen was already guarding the second gate, and asked the two of them to go to the old man's courtyard immediately.
Zhao Jing grabbed Qi Yunshu's hand, his palms were wet, and he seemed to be a little nervous.
Afraid that she didn't know how to justify herself, Zhao Jing sighed and said: "Lady, remember, it was the Duchess of Qi who saved the second prince yesterday, and she just borrowed your hot spring Zhuangzi to recuperate!" ”
Qi Yunshu's heart trembled, he knew what was on his mind, and even made up the lie for her!
In the study, the old lady sat in front of the window, not busy compiling scriptures and scriptures as before, but looked at the two people who entered the door seriously, and opened his mouth to ask: "Is there a big problem with the second prince?" ”
Zhao Jing replied calmly: "I was injured, but there is no danger to my life!" ”
The old lady nodded with an "um", but looked at Qi Yunshu and said, "Daughter-in-law, you were there yesterday to tell me what happened?" ”
Although Zhao Jing came back with Qi Yunshu for the latest news he got, in fact, when the second prince was assassinated yesterday, only Qi Yunshu was there, so if he wanted to know the truth of the matter, he could only ask Qi Yunshu.
"Yesterday, I accompanied the Duchess of Qi Guo out of the city to enjoy the scenery, and I had nothing to do to play and rest in Chuqing Lake, and suddenly the second prince was attacked, and the granddaughter-in-law did not encounter anything, so I was immediately afraid to shrink back, all thanks to the Duchess of Guo's operation, and when the granddaughter-in-law reacted, the second prince was already injured and unconscious, and the assassin had fled......"
Qi Yunshu didn't lie, but just concealed what happened at that time.
The old lady frowned slightly when she heard this, but she didn't comment on her statement, and she thought it was quite reasonable, the woman in the ordinary mansion saw such a vicious person, she must have been scared, not to mention that Qi Yunshu and other village girls from the countryside had never seen much of the world, and it was natural for them to panic at the critical moment.
The Duchess of Qi is different, she was originally the eldest daughter of Jiangmen, and she grew up in the frontier since she was a child, not to mention the assassination, even the 1st battlefield killed the enemy She also went to it personally.
If it weren't for the incident that happened more than ten years ago, she would probably still be staying in the frontier with Qi Guogong now.
"Did you see the faces of the Assassins?" The old lady's brows were furrowed for a long time before he slowly loosened, and he tried to take out something more from Qi Yunshu's mouth without giving up.
"I didn't ...... I didn't see it clearly, I covered my face! Qi Yunshu lowered her head and simply pretended to be afraid.
The old lady couldn't look at it, waved her hand and ordered her to stand aside, and called Zhao Jing to step forward, and said in a deep voice: "You went out of the city today, can you get something?" ”
"I don't have much to gain, just know a little bit about it!" Zhao Jing bowed his hand.
"Since the emperor has a secret order for you, will you use this to prevaricate him, are you worthy of the emperor's trust in you?"
The old lady's face sank, and she suddenly pulled it down.
"I ...... How did my grandfather know that I had a decree in my hand? Zhao Jing probably had a guess in his heart, but at this time he insisted on pretending to be stupid.
"Today is not a holiday, you are not worthy of the court, and you don't see the palace issuing a letter of admonition, which means that you reported it first, plus the second prince was assassinated in Qingyun Mountain, resting in your daughter-in-law's hot spring Zhuangzi, this matter is the safest to send you to investigate, and it is not easy to arouse the suspicion of others!"
Who is the other person in the old lady's words, Zhao Jingxin has speculation, but he does not have a real name.
"Grandfather is wise, but this matter is ordered by the emperor, and he doesn't dare to be alone before he reports it!" Zhao Jing directly brought out the emperor, meaning that since my grandfather knew that this matter was the meaning of the top, why did he force me to say anything else.
"That's it, the food of the king, the worry of the king, I have transgressed. I'm afraid you're going to enter the palace to reply, I won't delay you! ”
The old lady didn't ask anything, and couldn't help but feel tired, waved his hand to signal the couple to go out, and asked them to close the door.
On the way, Qi Yunshu couldn't help but wonder: "Why does the old lady care so much about this?" And the emperor ......" Qi Yunshu wanted to know if Zhao Jing couldn't wait to go out of the city, was it for the emperor's orders, or for her?
"Actually, after I received Liu Cheng's flying pigeon message, I knew that the lady was in danger, so I entered the palace first and asked for instructions to go out of the city overnight.
The emperor pushed the boat down the river and put this matter on my head, the lady doesn't have to guess, you and I have been married for so long, I treat the heart of the lady, don't the lady still understand? ”
Zhao Jing hugged Qi Yunshu as he spoke, blocking her under an osmanthus tree.
At this time, there are still residual flowers on the laurel tree, and pieces of fragrance are wafting, which can be smelled in Zhao Jing's snort, and he is fascinated by the fragrance of the lady.
Qi Yunshu was joking with him, but at this time, he was really blocked by his words.
She blushed and pushed him: "Don't be like this, it's still outside!" ”
Zhao Jing's eyes deepened, and he took her hand instead: "Then let's go back to the courtyard!" Lest anyone follow us and think they can find out some news for our master! ”
As Zhao Jing spoke, his sharp eyes shot behind him, and there he saw Wang Qingshu - he was there, which meant that Zhao Gan was back, and it seemed that the Wang brothers didn't necessarily understand the reason!
After entering the Yuqing Courtyard, Zhao Jingzheng wanted to deepen his relationship with his own lady, so as not to let some people want to start halfway, but saw Zhao Yu flying from the second gate.
This way of appearing was a bit scary, there must be something urgent, so he had to put down his eagerness and go to the study first.
Pushing the door in, Zhao Yu was already sitting inside with Erlang's legs crossed.
He didn't pull his hair today, but it was loose at the back of his head, and it was smooth and smooth, but it didn't look messy.
However, Zhao Jing has always been rigorous, and when he saw him like this, he was still dissatisfied: "Why are you so unkempt?" "In the past, when I was outside, my clothes were loose and my hair was fluttering, but now I have entered the Yuqing Courtyard and are still like this, wouldn't it be embarrassing for his wife to see it?
"Okay, isn't it just that I'm afraid that your daughter-in-law will see it, I'm not too busy, I'm afraid that they will see it and hide from it." Zhao Yu casually pointed to the roof tiles, meaning that he came from the eaves and walls, if it weren't for Zhao Jing's high vigilance, and he deliberately exposed his hiding, who would be able to see him?
Zhao Jing can't help his appearance, he really can't be ruthless, after all, although Zhao Yu doesn't care about small things, he has never been confused in big things, and he hasn't done a single thing so far.
"Guess where I'm from?" Zhao Yu approached Zhao Jing.
"Wherever you like to fight, you still tell me what you found!" Zhao Jing gave him a blank look.
"Hey, it's boring, let me tell you the truth, I came from the Second Prince's Mansion and happened to hear something you might care about!" Zhao Yu didn't care about Zhao Jing's attitude, and said to himself.
"But there's news of the Assassin?" Zhao Jing leaned over and whispered.
Seeing that the other party's interest was aroused, Zhao Yu snorted and said that he was thirsty and wanted to drink tea.
Zhao Jing glanced at him and handed it to him helplessly.
Zhao Jing became normal at this time: "Well, Liu Cheng has tried his best to investigate the assassins since you left, but no matter how he checks, he can't find out why, because the big and small assassins lurking in this capital have not moved at all, and have been dormant!" ”
If someone else said this, Zhao Jing probably wouldn't believe it, but Zhao Yu was different, before he returned to Beijing, he was also a well-known killer in the capital.
If he said so, it would be true.
"It's not their hands, who else dares to do it casually in Qingyun Mountain, it's impossible for people from outside, if there is a wind and grass, they have to go down to worship the mountain."
"If I don't say it, you probably won't be able to guess who did it!" Zhao Yu drank the tea in the dry cup in one gulp, pinched the blue and white porcelain tea cup and played in a circle.
Zhao Jing's eyebrows deepened, Zhao Yu's expression made him think of countless possibilities, and he immediately said: "Could it be a bitter meat plan?" ”
"Hey, you...... How dare you guess! Zhao Yu's eyes widened, and he stared at Zhao Jing inexplicably.
