"Now I only know that they are coming to seize the jade plate, and the purpose must be the armory of the thirteen counties, but I don't know what they want to do." King Huai analyzed, "It's better to plan and see what they will do after they get the jade plate." ”

"Then this matter, do you want to inform Taishou and Thorn Shi?"

"Well, let them take precautions too. It's time for the lieutenant to let him know something. You can't be like a dumbfounded person all day long. ”

King Huai had a headache when he thought of the few officials he led.

Taishou Zhang Changxiu doesn't like to listen to arrangements, Thorn Shi Jiang Congshan is a soft onion, and Du Wei is like a stupid big man every day.

"It's time to find someone that's easy to control and smart."

Hearing his long sigh, Liu Chengyan smiled lightly: "Didn't King Huai have a conspirator a long time ago?" ”

King Huai understood what he meant, and said with some reluctance: "She's just a woman, what's the use of painting some spring palaces?" Pull her into this, and maybe things will get worse. ”

"Whether Miss Ah Chang has helped or not, King Huai knows it, and his subordinates don't dare to beak." Liu Chengyan's eyes were as clear as a spring, "Presumably King Huai told him about it, and Miss Ah Chang would be willing to help." She has always been warm-hearted and has the world in mind. ”

"Think again, let's rest early."

King Huai got up and walked towards the inner chamber.

……

The next day, the yamen of the thirteen counties.

The yamen of the thirteen counties has been very idle recently, and there is nothing else to do except for some trivial daily affairs.

The fat and thin servants guarding the door were suffering from spring sleepiness, and getting up early and standing guard boring made them yawn one after another.

Either yawning is contagious, and the other one is picked up, as if you want to fall asleep in this relay race.

King Huai was in good spirits, and walked leisurely, and when he saw their languishing appearance, he looked at the gravel on the ground and kicked it with his foot.

The two gatekeepers were hit by a stone in the forehead, and immediately drew their swords to prepare for battle, and the whole person was sober.

Seeing that it was King Huai, the two of them tensed their nerves, put away their knives and straightened up, put away their tired faces as quickly as possible, and saluted together.

"Morning with the king!"

"It's early, it's good for a good night's sleep." King Huai walked up the stairs, glanced at them half-mockingly, and said with a smile, "Won't Taishou also nap at home?" ”

"No, the master has been here for an hour." The fat servant raised his head and replied with a full of anger, for fear that King Huai would see that he was not serious at all.

King Huai nodded with satisfaction: "Then this Yulu can be regarded as preserved." I went to talk to Taishou, and I said that the king had come to him for tea. ”

"Yes!" The fat servant continued to respond in a loud voice, and mechanically stretched out a hand to invite, "King Huai, please." ”

After entering the yamen, bypassing the public hall from the bypass road, he walked to the side hall of the front yamen.

Two little dolls ran out of the face.

Exactly pebbles and hawthorns.

Xiao Shizi held an oiled paper bag in his arms and ran next to the little hawthorn, the two little people rushed to the ground, and the little hawthorn was still blaming in his mouth.

"Brother, why don't you wake me up? It's all about time! ”

"Didn't I see you slept late last night? You didn't say you were going early today. You eat two buns and then go. ”

"It's too late."

Seeing that the two little dolls were about to collide, King Huai stopped with a smile. The two of them also braked in time and were busy.

"I've seen King Huai!"

"Morning." King Huai smiled kindly, "What are you two going to do in such a hurry?" ”

"Yesterday, Sister Ah Chang said that she was going to school today, but my brother didn't call me, it was too late." The little hawthorn gasped, and her voice was very sweet and soft.

The little hawthorn is cute and smart, and King Huai has always had a good impression of her, and when he saw her so serious and anxious, he doted on her nose.

"Don't panic, Miss Ah Chang must not have gotten up yet. You eat the bun and walk over slowly. ”

"Yes, Sister Chang loves to lie in bed the most." Xiao Shizi hurriedly followed behind, reached out and took out a bun from the oiled paper bag in his arms, handed it to her, and said, "You eat the bun first and then go to Sister Chang." ”

"No, maybe Sister Ah Chang has already gotten up." Little Hawthorn pushed back the bun handed over by the elder brother, lifted the little skirt, and prepared to run, "King Huai, I have to go first." ”

King Huai pressed her little head, her hair was as soft as duck down, and anyone who touched it melted into a piece of sugar water.

"Don't worry, you go to eat steamed buns with your brother first. This king will also go to the school in a while and take you with him. ”

The little hawthorn hesitated to flutter her eyelashes, and looked at King Huai quietly, and her little face began to redden.

King Huai is like a fairy who came out of a painting, and his smile is even more beautiful.

"Sister, King Huai has said it, don't worry."

Xiao Shizi put on the steadiness that a brother should have. I'm afraid that the little hawthorn won't eat and run out, and when the time comes, he will faint on the road, and no one knows.

"Alright, I'll call you when the king leaves."

When King Huai said this, he walked away.

After waiting for half a cup of tea in the side hall, Zhang Changxiu came over.

"I don't know what Taishou has been doing these days?" King Huai casually greeted him.

Zhang Changxiu coughed lightly twice, looking a little unwell.

"Naturally, it is to deal with the affairs of the government."

King Huai glanced at him, and when he saw that his eyes were vain, he couldn't help frowning: "I see that your face is not too good, but you are overworked?" ”

"Thank you King Huai for your concern, it's just an occasional cold, and it won't be fine in two days." Zhang Changxiu dealt with a few words and ended this false statement, "I don't know what King Huai is doing when he comes to Yamen today?" ”

"Something's true."

As he spoke, King Huai took out the dagger from his bosom and put it on the table.

The sheath of the dagger is rolled with another customary pattern, like a bird.

Zhang Changxiu is very familiar with this thing, he saw it not long ago, and even has one in the yamen, which was the previous education thief.

He also knew the origin of the dagger.

Now that he saw King Huai here, a bad premonition came over him, which made him a little frightened.

"Taishou should be familiar with this thing." King Huai said lightly, waiting for Zhang Changxiu's reaction.

Zhang Changxiu looked at King Huai in surprise: "Is it difficult to ......"

"Yes, someone came to the palace last night to assassinate him. The assassin was the owner of the dagger. ”

King Huai pulled the dagger out of the scabbard, and looked at the diamond-shaped pattern on the dagger body, which was full of playfulness.

Zhang Changxiu was shocked, and hurriedly got up and said guiltily: "The supervision of the lower officials is not strict, and this person is allowed to mix into the palace, and I also ask King Huai to forgive his sins." ”

"The people of the thirteen counties who have mixed into Yuguo are not one or two days, nor are they one or two." King Huai opened his mouth slowly, and there was no blame in his peach blossom eyes, "Taishou doesn't have to blame himself so much." ”

"Is King Huai injured?" Zhang Changxiu couldn't wait to confirm King Huai's physical condition.

"Not really, so you don't have to be so nervous." King Huai put the dagger back into its sheath, stood the dagger, and tapped the table with the tip, "This person is here for the king's jade plate." ”

Zhang Changxiu's nerves, which had not yet been loosened, were even tighter. Glancing at the jade plate that vaguely exposed a corner of King Huai's waist, he was sure that the jade plate was still there, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows were twisted deeper.

"It seems that Yuguo is really eyeing the thirteen counties." Zhang Changxiu frowned, straightened up, and felt deeply uneasy, "Moreover, the purpose should be the armory of the thirteen counties. ”

King Huai nodded in agreement: "This is already Sima Zhao's heart." ”

"It seems that the previous theft was also to cover people's eyes, and the actual purpose was about King Huai's jade plate." Zhang Changxiu continued to analyze.

Huai Wang said: "That's right, but I didn't expect Mrs. Taishou to intervene in it and expose the traces of Yuguoren's activity in advance." ”

Hearing King Huai mention Chang Le, Zhang Changxiu's heart became a lump of numbness, and he pressed down the part of Chang Le, so that he could continue to think about things rationally.

"Just sit down." King Huai pointed to the seat next to him and invited him to sit side by side.

Zhang Changxiu was respectful and obedient, and sat down: "The murder of the beggar boy must have been deliberately created by Yuguo, causing panic in the city and taking advantage of the chaos. ”

King Huai bowed his head slowly, not surprised at all by the theory he said, indifferently picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put it down.

"Yes, but it's just exposed."

That's right, and there is a lot of credit to Chang Le.

Zhang Changxiu's heart is like a secluded river, gloomy and boundless, and he doesn't know where it is going. Even if he didn't want to admit it, as soon as he heard something related to Changle recently, he felt that there was a missing piece in his heart, and something that had been hidden for a long time was coming out.

"This time, I actually attacked King Huai directly, it seems that I can't wait."

"Looks like things are almost laid out." King Huai narrowed his eyes, and his scrutinizing gaze was a little cold, which was extremely incompatible with his peach blossom eyes, "We, we didn't even notice it at all." ”

Zhang Changxiu couldn't face King Huai's blaming eyes, and silently looked at him: "It's the dereliction of duty of the subordinate officials, and the vigilance is not enough." ”

"I'm afraid someone has distracted your vigilance." King Huai turned the dagger meaningfully and threw it aside, "Since Yuguo's side has done so many actions quietly, we should also hurry up and take precautions, and don't take it lightly." ”

"What is King Huai's command?" Zhang Changxiu took out the attitude and tone that a courtier should have.

Seeing that he was rarely well-behaved, King Huai finally felt a lot more relieved.

"I don't know what their intentions are at the armory, but they must be preparing for war between the two countries. On the side of the armory, the king will send his own soldiers to guard it. On this side of the city, to prevent turmoil, the commander strengthened his patrol. As for the supervision of the mine, as well as the investigation of the traces of Yuguo's fine work, you can arrange it yourself. ”

"Yes, the lower official will do it immediately." Zhang Changxiu was seriously ordered.

King Huai muttered: "Some things in the thirteen counties, let the other three know, just talk about it." The thirteen counties are about to usher in a big storm. ”

……

When the two officials guarding the gate of the county government watched a beautiful woman come with a maid, they really wanted to sigh, no one comes on weekdays, but a group of people come when they come.

"The second lady is here." The thin servant smiled and said, "Come to Taishou?" ”

The people who came were Hua Chu'er and Ruyu, who was carrying a food box and a few packs of things she had just bought, which also looked like eating.

The fat servant was puzzled by the thin servant's attitude, and glanced at him with disgust.

"Tai Shou Ke?" Hua Chu'er smiled softly.

The thin servant laughed: "Yes, but I am discussing with King Huai, and the second lady can come in first and wait." ”

When Hua Chu'er heard King Huai's name, her expression froze for a moment, and she covered it without a trace, smiling gently.

"That's tiring."
