The lamps and candles in the study were bright, and a person was leaning crookedly behind the large mahogany desk. He fiddled with a knife in his hand, his legs cocked, and his feet rested on the paper on the table.

Chen Zhaolin didn't know this person. He wore a gray samurai uniform, wrapped his legs in white cotton, and tucked into thick leather boots. This person looked Zhou Zheng at first glance, but those eyes looked at him coldly.

Because of many years of questioning cases, Chen Zhaolin has seen many people, and the three religions and nine streams are all-encompassing. He knew those eyes, the eyes of a dead corpse.

Seeing Chen Zhaolin coming in, he slowly blew on the knife. A white object shook on the knife, fluttering.

Chen Zhaolin saw clearly, it was a piece of letterhead.

Letterhead......

He looked at it in shock and confirmed his suspicions.

It was a secret letter written by Wang Xuanhu to himself, a secret letter of conspiring to frame Fu Guogong.

His legs first softened, and then he immediately realized that he didn't know who the other party was at the moment, and it was too early to show his timidity.

He is also a dignified four-grade Beijing official, and he is the emperor's favorite with a holy and private endowment, how can he be frightened by this inexplicable person. Yes, you can't be afraid. Even if this man holds the secret letter, it is not a matter of letting him die.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhaolin stood up straight and shouted, "Who is Your Excellency?" What is the punishment for trespassing in Jingzhao Mansion, do you know? Don't come out and be punished soon! ”

The voice was loud and cold, and Chen Zhaolin felt good.

The person on the opposite side looked at me obliquely, straightened his body, and said lightly: "Lord Fu Yin saw me holding this letterhead, but he didn't hold back from his side, did he want to let him read it?" ”

He said and took out the letterhead, his eyes fell on the paper, he looked at it carefully, and frowned again, "Alas", he said: "The blue sky is white, the blue sky is right in front of me, is it not hysteria, what do you see?" ”

As he spoke, he swung the letterhead in the air, flicked it with his fingers, and took it back as if he was about to throw it away.

Chen Zhaolin was anxious and angry.

only to deal with a Wang Xuanhu, and another scoundrel.

He kind of got it.

This man is not afraid of himself at all.

Not just because he was holding his handle, but because there must be someone standing behind him.

Otherwise, he should also know that now that he is trapped in Jingzhao Mansion, it is easy to be killed by someone who can find a random reason.

"Go down." He held his voice coldly and pulled back from the left and right. Now in this situation, I still have to calm down and listen to what he has to say.

Only then did the person on the other side stand up, saluted, squinted, and said, "I have offended Lord Chen, and I am working under the name of Ah Rao and under the regent." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and took out a green jade seal letter from his sleeve and shook it in front of Chen Zhaolin.

A thumb-sized green jade with an arrow engraved on it.

Chen Zhaolin also had a copy of this seal, which was solemnly given to him by the messenger when he promised to help the regent do things.

"Lord Wang......" he muttered.

Ah Rao handed back the letterhead in his hand to him, and said softly: "It's inconvenient for the prince to come, so I'm going to run down." ”

"What does the prince mean......" Chen Zhaolin hurriedly took the letter, glanced at the secret letter roughly, and immediately put it in his sleeve pocket. This man is willing to return the secret letter to himself, not to threaten him, and it seems that there is no malice.

Ah Rao saw Chen Zhaolin put away the secret letter, with a look of regret on his face, and said gently: "What the prince means is that Lord Chen is about to die." ”

He said it lightly, but there was a determined look on his face. It seemed that this was going to happen, and he was just informing him, not wanting to change anything, nor as a warning.

"What?" Chen Zhaolin only felt that his head was cold, as if someone had poured a basin of ice water. Today is really not a moment to stop.

"Lord Chen is so smart, he was promoted to the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion in ten years, don't you understand who instructed the prince to bring the crown princess to see the Auxiliary Guogong?" Ah Rao sat down in a proper manner, and said solemnly.

"This ......," Chen Zhaolin swallowed.

"Let me ask you again, what good will it do to Master Chen if you are involved in the war department?" Ah Rao said again.

Chen Zhaolin's soul came back a few wisps, and then he replied: "This official is self-denying and selfless. ”

"Okay," Ah Rao slapped his hands lightly, "So what kind of 'duke' is it that dealt with the Duke of Fuguo?" ”

"This ......" Chen Zhaolin's forehead was covered with fine sweat.

How did he get to this point?

was frightened by the crown prince once, and was scared by Wang Xuanhu again, and now he is the regent again.

He remembered that at the beginning, he just received a murder case in the suburbs of Beijing and died a Wupin deputy general. According to the past practice, he only had to seriously try the case, and whether the case was closed or not, it would not affect his own life.

But now, how can I accidentally attract these immortals?

"This official thinks," he cleared his throat and looked at Ah Rao and said, "It is His Majesty's intention to commit perjury and send the Duke of Fuguo to prison." ”

He originally wanted to say that it was the regent's intention, but it looked like a human being, and it was obvious that this matter was not in line with the regent's wishes.

He has tried countless cases in his life, and for the first time, he felt that there was a lot of fog in front of him, and he couldn't see it really.

Ah Rao smiled lightly and said: "Can't you see that now the Ministry of War wants to put Fuguo Gong in prison, and the prince wants to rescue him, and the emperor's meaning, seeing that the prince is coming here in a bright light, he does not shy away at all, and must have understood the snort of His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Chen Zhaolin froze in place, didn't even sit on a chair, and looked flustered.

Wang Xuanhu relied on the official level to make himself a fake, if he didn't do it, he would definitely not be able to let himself go.

And the crown prince is not easy to mess with.

What's more, the meaning of the crown prince is the meaning of the emperor.

And what about the regent? Wang Xuanhu is doing things for the regent.

Ah Rao looked at Chen Zhaolin's red and white face, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of capable people in the military department, and the regent is not inferior to Wang Xuanhu." But tomorrow, if Lord Chen doesn't do well enough, I don't know what Lord Wang will think of Lord Chen. ”

As he spoke, Rao stood up, walked around the table, and prepared to leave.

Chen Zhaolin suddenly stood in front of him, and said with a long salute: "Please also ask Your Excellency to show me what this official should do in order to escape the catastrophe." ”

Ah Rao glanced down at Chen Zhaolin, sighed slightly, and said: "In two hours, it will be the early dynasty, and before that, the lord of Hewei will be summoned overnight because of the queen mother's headache." His Majesty the Emperor is also there. ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, pushed the door and strode out.

Chen Zhaolin was left alone in place.

and the Lord of the Micro Counties......

The lord of the county lives outside the palace, and if he goes to serve the sick, then ......

Chen Zhaolin understood what Ah Rao meant, he sighed, took a step on the back of the chair and sat down.

"Someone." He called out weakly.

"Take the officer's uniform. Prepare a carriage. ”
