Chapter 178: I happened to meet the deceased at the gate of the Qinglou

Qingdi smiled slightly and asked him, "Then why does my uncle still stay in the imperial city?" Uncle wants to see the old emperor again and tell him the truth of the matter, even if the emperor really clears his uncle, will his uncle really be able to live a stable life? ”

General Shui was speechless for a while, in fact, he has been an official for several years, even if he has been fighting and doesn't care much about things in the court, he still has a certain understanding of the emperor. He knew that the emperor was not a foolish person, was he wronged, did the emperor really not know?

He has always been reluctant to admit it, probably because there is still a thought in his heart, hoping that the emperor will still believe him.

Seeing that he was silent, Qingdi continued: "Uncle, let's open up, the old emperor will not admit that he wronged you before, and even if he admits it, he will definitely not let you continue to live." If you want to restore your innocence and clear your name, the easiest way is to wait for Yao Cen to pull down the old emperor and let Yao Cen clear your name. ”

General Shui pursed his lips for a long time, and said, "I just think that you are still young, you can have a lot of good times, why do you have to do these things?" Do you really think you can succeed? If it doesn't work out, it's a dead end! Isn't it good to live well? ”

Chu Yaocen took Qingdi's hand, and also called him "uncle", and then said: "Uncle has been telling us to live a good life just now, so does uncle also want to live a good life?" ”

General Shui nodded: "Naturally, I have been displaced for so many years, and I have long been tired of it, and I really want to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to spend the rest of my life." ”

"In that case, we will send you out of the Imperial City, are you willing? Go to a place that the old emperor would never have imagined, and it is absolutely safe, and live the stable life you want, are you willing? Chu Yaocen asked him.

General Shui looked up at him suddenly, and there were some other emotions in his eyes, which seemed to be unwilling and reluctant. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't.

Qingdi also persuaded: "Uncle, Feng Boyang has collapsed, I estimate that he has probably been tortured to death by the beggars in the streets and alleys now, you should have no regrets, are you willing to leave the imperial city?" ”

General Shui was silent for a long time, always sighed, and said, "Okay, I won't interfere in your children's affairs, whatever you want, you can send me away." ”

Qingdi smiled with satisfaction, then turned his head and asked Zhou Yi: "Brother Zhou, do you want to leave with your uncle, or follow us?" ”

Zhou Yi thought about it, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said to Qingdi and Chu Yaocen: "Miss, uncle, although I really want to follow you to protect you, but the general is kind to me, I can't leave the general alone, so please let me be with the general, I will take care of the general for the rest of my life!" ”

When General Shui heard Zhou Yi's words, he waved his hand again and again and said, "Don't, don't, you follow these two children, I don't worry about them." ”

"I think since Brother Zhou wants to take care of his uncle, let him follow his uncle." Chu Yaocen said: "Uncle, don't worry, we have our helpers, just as Brother Zhou followed you to fight the world, and now there are a group of people following me, and when I win, I will take Qingdi to accompany my uncle to drink." ”

General Shui listened to Chu Yaocen's tone, and the more he listened to it, the more happy he felt, the more he admired Chu Yaocen, and laughed and said, "Okay, you have this ambition, what else am I worried about?" This world is the world of you young people, you do it well! ”

Chu Yaocen and Qingdi were naturally satisfied, but they didn't expect to succeed in persuasion so successfully.

The two of them talked freely with General Shui for a long time, and when they left, it was already the middle of the moon. At this time, the night market was almost over, and most of the remaining shops with lights were brothels.

Chu Yaocen and Qingdi walked slowly on the way home, the two didn't speak, they walked quietly, when Qingdi passed by those green buildings, he suddenly heard the sound of obscene words and songs from inside, so he turned his head and asked Chu Yaocen: "Yaocen, have you been to these places?" ”

Chu Yaocen must have shook her head, how could she let this jealous woman of her family know about this matter, otherwise she wouldn't be angry. He said again and again: "No, I haven't been here at all." ”

Qingdi didn't seem to believe it, and said: "I have long heard rumors from everyone that the Seventh Prince, Yin Jixuan, is a womanizer who often goes in and out of these places, you have such a good relationship with him, can you never go in?" ”

"Really not," Chu Yaocen stopped Qingdi and said, "My fox friends and dog friends are not only Yin Jixuan, but I get along with them, although I have a heart-to-heart relationship, I have not been affected by them." You are my first woman and the only one in my life. ”

Qingdi listened to his love words, showed a slightly shy look, opened his mouth and was about to speak, when suddenly in a brothel next to him, a man stumbled and fell out, Chu Yaocen hurriedly pulled Qingdi aside.

Immediately afterward, someone from the brothel came out and scolded the man: "If you don't pay back the money within three days, I will send someone to beat you to death!" ”

After scolding the people in the brothel, they went in. The man who fell out looked drunk, patted the dirt on his body and stood up, scolding and scolding: "Cheap woman! The dog looks at people low, when I was rich before, I screamed one by one, but now there is no one, it's so ruthless! When I get the money again, I won't let you have a good time! ”

Qingdi listened to this person's scolding voice and felt very familiar, so he looked back, and Chu Yaocen saw that she was looking at the person, so he asked, "What?" Do you know? ”

"The voice is very similar, but it is not so vicissitudes...... Qingdi said, walked up to the man, and asked, "Are you Yang Xin?" ”

This person was drunk, and he didn't know who the person standing in front of him was, so he patted his chest and said, "Yes, it's Uncle Ben!" ”

Qingdi looked at his face, which was already full of beard, and his eyes were full of cloudy desire, and he fell to the ground groggily.

Chu Yaocen also followed and asked, "Who is it?" Do you know? ”

Qingdi nodded: "When I was still in the Prime Minister's Mansion, this person suddenly appeared and said that he had served my mother before, and he was a florist in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he also took me to find the person who framed my mother." ”

"Oh, it was him, I remembered." Chu Yaocen also nodded, looked at Yang Xin lying on the ground, and frowned: "How did it become like this?" I remember seeing him once, and he was quite normal. ”

"I didn't know, I thought he was dead." Qingdi said, paused, and said: "When I was under house arrest, I heard that he wanted to go out to find you to save me, but when he was about to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was found and killed. ”

"Things are a little strange," Chu Yaocen held his chin and thought for a while, and said, "He has gained a lot of weight these days, and it seems that he is having a good time." Maybe he's not as simple as he says, and maybe there's a lot of other things involved. ”

"What's going to be involved?" Qingdi looked up at Chu Yaocen.

"Didn't he induce you to meet the murderer who framed your mother in the first place? The murderer also put some charges on Shen's head. Chu Yaocen narrowed his eyes and said, "Now he doesn't look like a good person, maybe everything he said to you before was false?" ”

"You mean, my mother was probably not killed by the Shen family?" Qingdi's tone was a little colder, so the murderer is still at large?

Chu Yaocen nodded: "Actually, I've always felt very strange about this matter. At the beginning, you gave me a jade pendant carved with a lotus flower, saying that you picked it up at the scene of the murder, and I checked the jade pendant and thought it should be Yin's. ”

"But you later said that the Yin family felt that they would not kill people with their own hands, and the killers sent over would never carry her jade pendant on them, so someone blamed her, so the murderer was naturally the Shen family."

"But then I thought about it, it's not right, your mother's death didn't do much good to the Shen family, especially at that time, didn't you say that your sister was going to marry the fourth prince? In case this thing succeeds, your mother will have a trace of it, and the Yin family will be Mrs. Xiangfu. Chu Yaocen recalled what happened at that time and said, "So in the end, it was the Yin family who was the most suspicious. That jade pendant may be misleading. As it is often said, murderers do not show themselves to be murderers, and all murderers take advantage of this and deliberately show themselves to be murderers. ”

Qingdi really didn't know what he was talking about.

Chu Yaocen smiled faintly, kicked the person on the ground, and asked, "Do you owe a lot of money to this brothel?" ”

Yang Xin was so drunk that he didn't know who was asking him, so he waved his hand and said: "This group of bitches, when I was rich, I was the uncle, and if I didn't have money, they kicked me out......"

"Wasn't you a beggar before? Where do you get the money? Chu Yaocen asked him again.

"Money...... Money, madam, give me some more money, otherwise I will tell Miss Fifth everything you asked me to do......" Yang Xin said this sentence in a hazy mouth, Qingdi raised his eyebrows, it really has something to do with himself?

She leaned over and asked Yang Xin, "Which lady?" What did you do? Are you constantly threatening her with these things to give you money? ”

Yang Xin's words were a little inaudible, and after whining twice, he remembered the call.

"I think it's eight. Nine is not far from ten. Chu Yaocen chuckled lightly and said, "That's probably it, this person was found by the Yin family at all, deliberately pretending to be your mother's former subordinate, and taking you to find a fake persecutor of your mother, in order to let you know from him that the Shen family is the culprit, and then let you deal with the Shen family." Then the man retreated at a certain time, pretending that he was dead. He helped the Yin family do these things, and the Yin family naturally gave him money. I think he shouldn't have dared to threaten the Yin family at the beginning, but later he saw that the Prime Minister praised it, the Yin family is just a widowed lady, and you are the second young grandmother of the Chu family with bare hands, so he keeps using you to blackmail the Yin family for money. ”

Qingdi blinked, a little incredulous: "He just said a few words, can you guess so many things?" ”

"It's not a guess, it's a guess." Chu Yaocen smiled slightly and said, "If you don't believe him, wake him up and ask." ”
