After returning to the house and settling down Meng Yong, Zhao Chen gave a few words and went into the warm pavilion.

An hour later, there was a knock on the door, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Jiang Hetong came in and looked carefully.

"Don't worry, it's the king himself." Zhao Chen smiled and poured the warm wine into his glass.

Only then did he walk in, put down the burden on his hand and said, "Everything is here, you can look at it quickly." ”

"Don't worry, warm up first."

He took a sip of wine, and then relaxed a little: "Let you see you smile." ”

Zhao Chenhun waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay to be born twice once." ”

"To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the cause of death had been found out, the lower officials wouldn't have dared this time, let alone -"

"Rules are dead, people are alive." Zhao Chen smiled and took out the things in the baggage, and said casually while looking at it: "You have been obedient for half your life, if you don't do something out of the ordinary, won't you live in vain?" ”

Jiang Hetong shook his head with a wry smile, and showed the case file and evidence to the people involved in the case to see, how simple is it out of line?

But if you don't ask Meng Yong, the Queen Mother will blame him, and he will not be able to please him either, since the left and right are dead ends, it is better to find another way to fight.

Zhao Chen suddenly asked as if chatting: "If this king is not mistaken, you have been the Yin of Shuntian Mansion for more than ten years, right?" ”

"It's been exactly sixteen years since this year."

Hearing this, she glanced at the other party intriguingly: "I haven't moved until now... Love the location so much? ”

"You are laughing, it is already a blessing for the lower officials to be able to stay in peace." He looked at the evidence on the table, "So something like this risky thing, Xia Guan doesn't want to do it a second time in his life." ”

"You're really." Zhao Chen pulled the pile of evidence and chattered: "Day after day, sit and eat and wait for death, mix until you return to your hometown, and go home to recuperate... Don't say it, it doesn't seem like a bad thing. ”

Jiang Hetong lowered his head in embarrassment, thought for a while and said, "You should also understand that not everyone is qualified to show their ambitions in the court, most people are the same as the lower officials-"

"People are different from you, it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, you just need to wait for the opportunity to climb up, and you don't rely on anything." She grinned: "I'm afraid it's not easy, right?" ”

was ruthlessly poked at the point, Jiang Hetong's face was a little unbearable.

He was about to say something, but Zhao Chen suddenly asked, "Are you sure all the evidence is here?" ”

The topic changed so quickly that it took him a while to react: "Indeed, sure, the lower official has personally investigated." ”

A touch of jade flashed in his memory, which made Zhao Chen's mind turn sharply, and Cui'er's close-fitting jade pendant was gone!

Was it taken by the murderer, or—

She flipped through the case file at the bottom, pointed to one of the pages and asked, "Cui'er has been writing with this person for a year?" ”

Jiang Hetong looked at it and said with an embarrassed expression: "This is his... Sweetheart. ”

Zhao Chen remembered that Cui'er had said that when he finished singing this year, he and his lover would fly away, but Cui'er was still a beautiful woman with a smile at that time, so she didn't think much about it.

Her expression became more and more strange, and she asked tentatively, "Man?" ”

"Yes, Xia Guan found the letter in the hollow bead hairpin." He rummaged for a while, "That's it, it should be the one they made love, so it was hidden." ”

Looking at the mountain alliance and sea oath above, Zhao Chen hid his face and wanted to cry without tears.

Cui'er is a man enough to be hot, what, why is she still a broken sleeve?

Jiang Hetong pointed to the payment and continued: "This Yue Hui used to be a student in Jingzhou, and after failing the government test last year, he once came to the capital with his classmates to make trouble, and this case was first tried by the lower officials——"

He took out the case file at that time and handed it to Zhao Chen.

The latter had just turned a few pages, and suddenly sat up straight: "This is the one who sued the prince?" ”

Last year, more than 20 students entered Beijing together and sued the sixth prince, Zhao Chun, for meddling in the local government examination during the supervision examination, accepting bribes and secretly promising fame, so that all of them failed in the list.

The case was examined by the Shuntian Mansion, and after the third trial was fruitless, it was transferred to Dali Temple.

In the same year, Dali Temple decided that the students were not angry because they were not on the list, so they indiscriminately bit the six princes.

In the end, not only did he expel these people from the capital, but he also took away their fame and declared that he would never be hired.

This includes Cui'er's lover Yue Hui.

At that time, Zhao Chen was very coincidentally sent to the capital, so he missed this good show.

After staring at him for a while, Zhao Chen asked with a smile: "It shouldn't be as simple as what is written in the case file, right?" ”

Jiang Hetong avoided her gaze.

He had heard a little about the old affairs between the other party and the six princes, and he really didn't want to get involved in half of it.

"The Dali Temple of the prince's case has been decided, and the lower officials turned it out just to verify Yue Hui's identity, you-"

"Don't worry, this king is not a person who holds grudges, and the sixth brother also told the truth back then."

She smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed: "This king is indeed because he is stubborn, so he accidentally broke his leg." ”

Jiang Hetong really didn't dare to answer this, so he had to cough lightly and change the topic.

"The letter was sent from Pingyang Mansion, and the lower officials have sent someone to it, and they will soon be able to confirm whether Yue Huo is still there."

Zhao Chen thought for a while: "Who else knows these things?" ”

"Only the cronies of the lower officials still have you." He paused, "Don't worry, although Xia Guan will make some reluctant compromises from time to time, it will only be limited to compromises, otherwise Yue Hui's case in the first place-"

"It's true that you didn't help reverse black and white at that time, you pushed the case out." Zhao Chen smiled noncommittally, "If you don't participate or make a difference, it's a smart choice!" ”

Jiang Hetong opened his mouth, and finally silently said goodbye.

"This king is not saying that you are wrong, the times create people, and others may not be as stable as you." She took a leisurely sip of wine, "But after so many years, no matter how stable it is, it should be tired, right?" ”

His face was cloudy, and he waited for a while before asking, "Do you have the heart to enter the court?" ”

She smiled and waved her hand, put the case files and others in place, and then said quietly: "In this life, you have to gamble so many times, maybe... Just turned over? ”

After Jiang Hetong left thoughtfully, the golden abacus walked out of the inner room.

"It's a coincidence, I actually dragged the six princes in, girl, the opportunity you missed is back."

"You think it's a coincidence?" Zhao Chen smiled: "Let's not say that Cui'er's death was planted on me, just Yue Hui, a good opportunity to send it to the door, do you think I will let it go?" ”

"You mean someone set up a game?" Jin Abacus shook his head disapprovingly: "Yue Hui and their complaint against the Six Princes was a year ago, and at that time, you and Cui'er couldn't fight each other, who would start calculating so early?" ”

"You'll find out if you jump in the bureau." She said disapprovingly, and said, "What, the little beauty I brought back, you are tired to help me keep an eye on it." ”

"You're obsessed with color!" Jin Abacus patted her on the back of the head, "This Meng Yong doesn't look like a simple thing, you beware-"

"Don't worry, I'm not Jiang Hetong, I was sold to me, and I stupidly helped others count the money..."She blinked, "The better you look, the more you will deceive people, remember it clearly!" ”

The sky was getting dark, and after a hasty dinner, Zhao Chen went back to his room to sleep.

It wasn't until the third watch that a continuous and subtle sound came that she woke up and looked at the roof.

The sound of "click" footsteps passed by her, and swept straight to the west.

She pondered for a moment, grabbed the velvet fur and wrapped it around her body, and walked out of the room silently.
