However, King Zhou is still not accustomed to talking to Lan Ting and Chungui all the time in the right way of asking the right questions to the monarch and ministers, and after he said that he accepted the advice, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The Tao family caused the second girl to lose her good fate, and I had to protect her temporarily, so I should always compensate the second girl, you should know your sister's preferences, and tell me how to compensate to make the second girl extinguish the fire." ”

"There's no need to waste it, the sister doesn't know about it, and the Zhou family doesn't know who Muzi is instructed by."

"Don't you plan to tell Sister Ling?" King Zhou stretched out his arm and punched Lan Ting: "Speaking of Tao's troubles this time, he really tried Zhou Xiaolang's mental character, although he is not as alert as Ji Bei, but he does have Liu Xia Hui's style of sitting still, and what is even funnier is ...... Didn't you listen to Gong Wang's situation at that time, Zhou Xiaolang righteously refused to be hugged by the palace people, and actually taught her a lesson with the posture of the master, forcing the palace people to recite a sentence of the elder, Gong Wangdu called Zhou Xiaolang interesting, praised you for your unique vision, and chose a good person for Ling Mei, you don't want Ling Mei to be happy. ”

"That girl is already obsessed with Zhou Jiazi enough, if I fan the flames again, she will be even more unable to calm down and carefully consider whether she is in a momentary mood, or is she really determined to grow old with Zhou Jiazi."

King Zhou opened his mouth: "You are really, you are so fatherly and hearty to Sister Ling." ”

Lan Ting didn't want to talk to King Zhou about his own private affairs anymore, and asked, "Your Highness met Wen Shouchu today, what did he say?" ”

"He said that he had found out clearly, Qian Baipo and Yuanhai had long formed a grudge, Qian Baipo had a wife and nephew, and his youngest son Qian Jiu was good, and once they went to the first mountain of Xuyi to play, these two gentlemen made a big deal in Dengying Academy, and actually said that the stone carving written by Bai Lotian in Cuiping Hall was Mulan Tang's pen is not as vigorous and spicy as Qian Baipo's pen power, and several other tourists heard this, and couldn't help but refute Qian Jiu's wild words, Qian Baipo's wife and nephew because they know some punches and feet, they usually love to fight fiercely, he and Qian Jiu can't talk about people, but they take the lead in provoking a brawl with their fists, and those few scholars who are powerless are not Wu Liu's opponents, and one of their noses is discounted.

Coincidentally, Yuanhai was also visiting Dengying Academy that day, and heard that there were people fighting in the academy, so he asked his entourage to stop him, and after asking about it, he sent Qian Jiu and Wu Liu to the Xuyi County Ya, and ordered Xuyi County to be held accountable. Qian Baipo then made a feud with Yuanhai, even if Yuanhai opposed your advice, speaking of which and Qian Baipo, the Yuan Ji party, at least in the implementation of tax policy, in fact, it was barely the same camp, but Qian Baipo still hated Yuanhai

Guts. ”

Chungui listened to King Zhou's words, and was very suspicious: "Qian Jiu kept his student status in the end, but he was just beaten by the board, and the stick sores have already healed, Qian Baipo would actually kill his colleagues because of this festival?" She went through the words and deeds of Mrs. Qian and other officials in her mind: "Yes, Mrs. Qian is very polite to the wife of the Huai'an prefect today, Chen, Yuanhai is Huai'an Tongzhi, as long as Yuanhai's top boss Huai'an prefect is wooed, Qian Baipo can suppress Yuanhai, he should also plan so, Mrs. Qian deliberately pulled Chen to Tao Cairen today, I am afraid that Chen has something to ask Tao Cairen." I thought that Mrs. Qian was still trying to win over Chen, and it seemed that she had not yet known about Yuanhai's 'death'. ”

"What does Wen Shouchu think? He thinks Yuanhai is assassinating Qian Baipo? Lan Ting also asked.

According to Wen Shouchu, once Qian Jiu was half drunk in the Dongfeng Pavilion, Wen Shouchu intentionally mentioned this topic, and told Qian Jiu to be careful, Yuanhai is the champion of the first year of Hongfu, and he is Guo Ge Lao's proud protégé, Guo Ge Lao is also deeply connected in Beijing, and even Yuan Ge Lao can't suppress Guo Li. Qian Jiu said, don't worry, just Yuanhai's stinky and hard temper, if you offend so many people, you will be punished by God, and your life will not last long. King Zhou said here for a moment: "This sounds like Qian Jiu already knew that Yuanhai would die, but of course it may just be a curse, although Qian Jiu is just a concubine, but he is Qian Baipo's old man, Qian Baipo is extremely fond of him, Qian Baipo is also Yuan Ji's party, Qian Jiu is not afraid that Yuanhai will judge his career is also reasonable, so he doesn't take it to heart, blindly cursing Yuanhai not to die is just a quick tongue." ”

Lan Ting frowned slightly: "Qian Baipo must know that Mu Mo has frequent contacts with His Royal Highness, and now that he is helping the Prince of Linzi, how can he not teach his nephew to be cautious in his words and deeds?" I think that Qian Jiu's words in the Dongfeng Pavilion were deliberate, just to tell His Highness through the mouth of Mu Mo that their father and son were eager to be killed immediately. ”

"Don't do it, this idea is in harmony with Wen Shouchu." Zhou Wang said: "Wen Shouchu also said that Qian Jiu was instructed by Qian Baipo, in order to make us suspect that he was the real murderer of Yuanhai, so he will try his best to confirm Qian Baipo's criminal evidence, take him to the knife, and kill an example, but of course Qian Baipo can prove his innocence, and he will accuse us of framing him because of party disputes, and once we have a bad start, the next situation will undoubtedly be more stalemate, and those officials who are on the sidelines, seeing that I don't have much chance of winning, will see the wind and rudder to serve my second emperor brother." ”

"But if this is the truth, Qian Baipo already knew that Yuan Hai would die, even if he is not the mastermind, of course he is also an accomplice, he is so sure that he can prove his innocence?" Chungui frowned, Yuan Ji and Qian Baipo inevitably underestimated Lan Ting too much, and they didn't want to think about it

Although Lan Ting is not a criminal officer, which of the many cases he has handled has not found out the truth, where did Qian Baipo get the confidence to escape?

"They should have a backhand, and even if they are not 100% sure, Yuan Ji will fight back at this time, the second prince will be demoted to the king of Linzi, the situation is quite unfavorable to their camp, and if they don't fight back, isn't it equivalent to waiting to be captured? Maybe Yuan Ji's plan is not only to falsely accuse His Highness of framing the King of Linzi, but also to count Yuanhai's death on His Royal Highness's head, which will not only hinder the administrative order, if they succeed, His Royal Highness will most likely be punished by the emperor and lose his throne. Lan Ting analyzed: "Although the risks are big, the benefits are also great, Yuan Ji does have a motive, but Jinghai Hou should be a disciple of the Linzi King, why would Wen Shouchu expose Yuan Ji's tricks?" ”

King Zhou knocked twice on the stone case with his finger: "I also asked Wen Shouchu about this, I can't think that he actually admitted that the Marquis of Jinghai had already been involved in the righteousness of Chengguo Wanshiyi, but of course, the Marquis of Jinghai did not want to tie life and death to the king of Linzi on the boat of the king of Linzi, so he instructed Wen Shouchu to choose one between me and the king of Qin, that is, the ship of the king of Linzi sank, and the Wen family would not be buried at the bottom of the sea with the king of Linzi, Wen Shouchu looked at me, I had a better chance of winning than the king of Qin. And he and the Marquis of Jinghai have a fundamentally different idea, he believes that I will win and the king of Linzi will lose, so he seriously planned to surrender, and after sensing the conspiracy of the king of Linzi, he simply reminded me to be careful. ”

To put it mildly, even if the Marquis of Jinghai is loyal to the King of Linzi, but the intrigue of such courtiers and courtiers is not what he is good at as a general, this matter should be the mastermind of Yuan Ji, and Yuan Ji cannot discuss with the Marquis of Jinghai first, Jinghaihou really didn't think that Wen Shouchu would leak secrets and help King Zhou to give the King of Linzi a head-on blow again, and the Marquis of Jinghai let Wen Shouchu serve the King of Zhou, which was nothing more than leaving a way out for the Wen family, but of course he would not sink the big ship of King Linzi for Wen Shouchu alone, and he and most of his family members would be buried with King Linzi.

"I don't think Wen Shouchu's statement is necessarily implausible." Zhou Wang said.

"Credible?" Lan Ting raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Wen Shouchu didn't remind His Highness, wouldn't I be able to detect the conspiracy behind this murder?" Without him leaking secrets, could the king of Linzi be able to win a big victory? I think Wen Shouchu didn't think Yuan Ji could succeed this time, he just wanted to use this opportunity to win the trust of His Royal Highness, even if Yuan Ji missed, this murder case could not be held accountable for the King of Linzi, more people for the King of Linzi to block the punishment, the King of Linzi will not be defeated, but if His Royal Highness really believes in Wen Shouchu, how many confidential key matters, Wen Shouchu will tell the King of Linzi, he is expected to help the King of Linzi turn defeat into victory. ”

That is to say, Lan Ting did not believe in Jinghaihou's so-called rhetoric of leaving a way out, and it was even more impossible for Wen Shouchu to seriously serve King Zhou.
