Zhao Wuwu stood at the door of the room, looked coldly at Qu Yun who was kneeling on the ground, and asked unmoved, "And then?" ”

Qu Yun sobbed, "Then Lord Zhong said that he could find a way for me, and I don't know what he did, and then he got a lot of silver, which paid off my father's gambling debts." ”

"Then why did Zhong Mill die?" Su Xi asked.

Qu Yun shook his head again and again, "I don't know what's going on, Lord Zhong really didn't kill him." Lord Zhong treats me like a mountain, how can I harm him. I didn't know what was going on at the time, but he suddenly died, spitting blood from his mouth. I was terrified and didn't know anything but screaming. ”

Zhao Wuwu stared and pondered, where did Zhong Miao's money come from?

Qu Yun reported the amount of gambling debts, this money is not a small amount, where did Zhong Mo transfer so much money for a while? What's more, there is still so much silver in the cellar of Zhong Mill's house, you can imagine what he must have done before.

Who gave all this money?

Probably, this is the cause of Zhong Miao's death, right?

Man dies for money, and birds die for food.

"Then why did you kill yourself?" Su Xi asked.

Qu Yun shook his head, "I really didn't kill myself, I don't know what happened at that time, and I suddenly had abdominal pain before I finished eating." At the time, I thought it was you, Childe, who wanted me to die. ”

Zhao Wuwu stared at Honggu with staring eyes, and Honggu knelt on the ground, "The slave doesn't dare!" ”

"I see." Zhao Wuwu paused, "It seems that some people are indeed restless. Then he smiled bitterly, this place where people eat people is really terrible!

Su Xi frowned, thinking that the son had guessed probably!

But Su Xi didn't guess what was going on.

"Where's your dad now?" Zhao Wuwu asked.

Qu Yun kept kowtowing, "Childe, let my father go!" You spare him, he's old, it's really ......"

"Don't make me ask a second time." Zhao Wuwu's face was expressionless.

Su Xi smiled coldly, "Even if you don't say it, we can know." On the boundary of this capital, there is nothing that can be hidden from the eyes and ears of the son. Qu Yun, Gongzi is willing to ask you to give you a chance. If you don't want to live yourself, then don't blame our sectarian priest for turning his face and being ruthless. ”

Qu Yun was stunned on the spot, his face pale.

In front of a small cabin in the suburbs, Qu Yun got out of the carriage.

The rain was a bit heavy, and the downpour drowned out all the sound. Qu Yun took a deep breath, looked back at Zhao Wuwu in the carriage, and Su Xi stepped forward, "Let's go!" ”

Qu Yun pursed his lips and cautiously walked towards the cabin.

There was someone in the room talking, as if her father was talking to someone. Qu Yun's raised hand froze in mid-air, and his delicate eyebrows frowned slightly.

It was raining heavily, and the hearts of the people under the eaves were very cold.

The old man inside said, "My daughter was born like a flower, and she must be worth a lot of money, and it will definitely not be bad to sell it to the king's foreign family as a house-filler." Although the king is seventy or eighty, he is old! As long as you have money!

Qu Yun's body couldn't stop trembling, she definitely didn't expect that this would be the result. She didn't care about her life to help her father pay off her debts, and she wanted to support her father for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect that in her father's eyes, her daughter was just a tool to make money.

In the old man's heart, there was no flesh and blood affection at all. Everything is just Qu Yun's self-inflicted affection.

People are easy to be cheap in love, but in fact, it is the same in family affection. The vampire-like family affection is also a fact.

When Qu Yun knocked open the door, her father was collecting a woman's silver, and when he saw Qu Yun, his expression was like eating a dead fly. Su Xi held the sword in his arms and stood aside and watched coldly.

People who are not sober in their minds should be in pain, so that they will know what they are wrong.

"I paid off your gambling debts, and you even thought about selling me?" Qu Yun looked at the woman on the side with tears in her eyes, and the person kept looking at her.

"This is your daughter? It's a good birth, and it's a good price. The woman didn't smile, "It's just that her temper is a little worse, if such a temper enters the Foreign Mansion, it won't be worth much." ”

"The woman of the Teaching Division, do you dare to buy it?" Qu Yun gritted his teeth.

As soon as she heard that it was from the Teaching Division, the woman was immediately stunned, "What? Faculty Division's? You old thing didn't make it clear, you didn't say that she was from the Faculty Division. That's the place of the Ministry of Rites, are you trying to make me go against the court? You're an old immortal! ”

As she spoke, the woman immediately snatched the money back from the old man's hand, and hurried out the door scolding.

At this moment, the old man was anxious and scolded the money-losers.

Qu Yun was dead, "Miss Suxi, this is my father, leave it to you to deal with!" I don't want to care anymore, and I've done enough. As for being a military prostitute or a slave, whatever! ”

She left without looking back.

But the old man would let her go, and he had to ask her to take out the money that the woman had taken. He tore Qu Yun's clothes and slapped his daughter in the face, so fierce, where is there still a bit of father-daughter affection.

Zhao Wuwu stood in the courtyard with an umbrella, watching this scene coldly. If her father is not the prime minister, it is estimated that she will be a sold life. Whoever has no heart, his blood is cold.

Su Xi waved his hand and immediately buckled the old man down.

There must be something strange about this old man's appearance in the capital for no reason. Here, I'm afraid that someone is pretending to be a ghost behind his back. And whether it is a coincidence or deliberate, if you dare to break ground on Zhao Wuwu's head, you will be damned.

The old man was quickly gagged, put in a sack, and brought back.

After everyone thought that Zhong Miao's case had come to an end, Zhao Wuwu found out the truth under everyone's noses. If there is a problem with her own teaching department, she must find out, otherwise it will be Zhong Mill who dies today, and she won't know who will be her turn tomorrow.

She guessed something, but she didn't expect it to be true.

In the secluded teahouse, Zhao Wuwu walked in unhurriedly, "If you don't ask carefully, you really can't find the teahouse in this alley." Lord Zeng, he really knows how to find a place. ”

Zeng Qian sat on the second floor, there were not many people in this empty teahouse, and now that it was raining, who would come to drink tea, most of them stayed at home. Either it's a wine shop or a gambling house, that's a good place to go during the day.

Even if you want to go to a teahouse, you have to go to those noisy and lively places.

The place is too secluded and unremarkable.

Narrow, dark.

Zeng Qian sighed lightly, "How can Lord Zhao be so Yaxing and come here for a trip?" ”

Zhao Wuwu smiled, "The official has nothing to do, so he walks around." This capital is such a big territory, and as I walked, I actually came here. Lord Zeng, do you think this is considered a magnificent and negligent Skynet? ”

"Lord Zhao's words are wrong, this is at most a coincidence. This Skynet is restored, but it is not a trivial matter. Zeng Qian put down the cup in his hand.

Zhao Wuwu had already walked to the front, "What Lord Zeng said is extremely true, the word Skynet is magnificent, which makes people feel a little panicked, especially those with weak hearts, it is inevitable that they will be seated." She smiled, "What does Master Zeng think?" ”

With that, she sat down.

The shopkeeper sent a pot of tea, and Su Xi led everyone down, and Gu Zi stood beside Zhao Wuwu. This plain and reminiscent, standing left and right, made Zeng Qian frown slightly.

Zeng Qian stared at Zhao Wuwu in front of him, "Lord Zhao came to me on purpose, right?" Don't know what's going on? ”

Zhao Wuwu sniffed the fragrant tea in the cup, but her physique was too cold, so she didn't drink tea. Putting down the cup in his hand, Zhao Wuwu looked at Zeng Qian with a smile, "I met an old man halfway, he said that he knew Master Zeng, I didn't believe it, so I made a bet with the people below." ”

"Old man?" Zeng Qian's face was slightly pale.

"Isn't it?" Zhao Wuwu chuckled, "I bet - Lord Zeng doesn't recognize him." ”

"How can I recognize an ordinary old man?" Zeng Qian drank tea and put his sword beside him.

Zhao Wuwu glanced at Su Xi, and as soon as Su Xi clapped his hands, a retinue came in carrying a sack. The sack was thrown at his feet, and his hair whimpered in pain.

Zeng Qian was stunned for a moment, his eyes were dark.

Zhao Wuwu caught his hand holding the cup, and suddenly exerted force.

"Want to know who's inside?" Zhao Wuwu smiled gently.

Zeng Qian sneered, "What are you kidding Lord Zhao?" If nothing happens, the next official will leave! ”

"Are you in such a hurry to leave, are you afraid of seeing him?" Zhao Wuwu poured the hot water in the cup slowly, and the hot tea scalded the man in the sack even more harshly. She didn't smile, "Is this voice familiar?" ”

Zeng Qian stood at the steps, looking back at Zhao Wuwu with warm eyes, "What do you want to say?" ”

Su Xi unhurriedly opened the mouth of the sack, revealing Qu Yun's father, the old man who sold his daughter around for money. Where did Su Xi squat, looking up at Zeng Qian, "Does Master Zeng remember this face?" ”

The old man was tied up with five flowers, with a cloth ball stuffed in his mouth, and he was lying on the ground at the moment staring at Zeng Qian with wide eyes. That look was obviously recognizable.

"God doesn't know this thing, you have to go out yourself. It's just that I didn't expect that as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, there are times when there is also the kindness of a woman. If it were me, after the matter was over, it would be cut in two, so that there would be no future troubles. Zhao Wuwu smiled coldly.

Zeng Qian clenched the saber in his hand and looked coldly at Zhao Wuwu, who was slowly getting up.

"The case of Zhong Mi has been closed, so Lord Zeng doesn't have to worry that I will overturn the case." Zhao Wuwu calmed his heart, "Zhong Miao's death implicates Guan Yin, if it is spread on the head of Lord Zeng, I am afraid that the emperor will be angry and will punish the nine clans." ”

Zeng Qian's eyes were cold, "What does Lord Zhao want?" ”

"I should ask Master Zeng what do you want? I asked myself if I had no grievances with Lord Zeng, even if Lord Zeng had contact with the Xia family, it was also my grudge with Xia Donglou, and it didn't seem to have much to do with you, an outsider. Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly, "So I have enough reason to believe that Master Zeng must be in trouble." ”

She also didn't say it directly, saying he was threatened.

Zeng Qian was silent, just staring directly at Zhao Wuwu in front of him. But he couldn't see through what Zhao Wuwu wanted to say, he only felt that his heart was up and down, if this matter was reported to the court by Zhao Wuwu, he would really die without a body.

poisoned the official of the imperial court, and inexplicably implicated the case of Guanyin, and ten heads were not enough to be cut off.

Zeng wondered how this could be seamless. Why don't I give you an idea, either kill me or kill this old man. It is obviously impossible to kill me, after all, there is a Prime Minister's Mansion above me, and I don't dare to do anything against the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future. Zhao Wuwu walked slowly to Zeng Qian, "Then the only thing left is the life of this old man." ”

Zeng Qian also thought that if he killed this old man, everything would be over. But the kindness of the woman at the beginning has become the current tiger riding is difficult.

Zhao Wuwu grabbed the old man, which means that Zhao Wuwu has got the confession he should have, so he was humble...... It's cornered.

"What else does Lord Zhao want?" Zeng Qian had no more words.

Zhao Wuwu smiled coldly, "Looking at Lord Zeng's appearance, did you admit Zhong Miao's death, but you created it single-handedly?" ”

"When did you start doubting me?" Zeng Qian asked.

Zhao Wuwu sneered, "Baimi will eventually have a mistake, I didn't think too much about it originally, but then I thought about who has such a great ability to make Zhong Miao's family disappear without a trace overnight?" First of all, the organization and execution must be first-class. ”

"There is no need for the Prime Minister's Mansion to wronged me with Zhong Miao's death, and it is impossible for the Qi Yu Mansion to do anything to me, after all, I still have a county lord here who is Mrs. Shangshu. I can't think of a reason for it, so I can only start with the Five Cities Terracotta Division and the Jinyi Guard. "Zhao Wuwu is slow and reasonable.

"Why aren't you suspicious of the East Factory?" Zeng Qian was cold.

He reminded Zhao Wuwu to be careful of the East Factory.

"If you don't warn me, I may not be able to touch the doorway. But you were self-defeating and asked me to go to check the East Factory, which made me doubt you. Zhao Wuwu didn't mention his relationship with Mu Baili at all, and passed by lightly, "You are smart but you are mistaken by cleverness." ”

"Especially when Qu Yun was poisoned later, I suspect that it was done by Jinyiwei. I know best what is in my workshop. Except for the Jinyi guards who were surrounded outside, all of them were my own people. Qu Yun was poisoned, it wasn't you Jinyiwei who did it, who was it? ”

"Lord Zeng, you are already the commander of the Jinyi Guard, why bother wading through this troubled water? Is it bad for the emperor to be on an errand with the emperor? had to be mixed up in the court situation and end up in a commotion. ”

Zeng Qian smiled bitterly, "Everyone says that Lord Zhao is a sick man, and they all say that Lord Zhao is a demon to confuse the Lord to get today's status." Now, it seems, it's not all right. ”

"And no matter how you got to where you are today, I just want to ask Master Zeng, what should you do next? Is it self-pleading, or is it ......" Zhao Wuwu smiled.

Su Xi stepped forward and took out a confession from his sleeve, "Lord Zeng can sign and draw on it, and our son-in-law will definitely help Lord Zeng to take care of this matter properly." ”

Zeng Qian looked at Zhao Wuwu in disbelief, "You're not going to report me?" ”

"In my eyes, one more friend is better than one dead man. Dead people have seen too much, and it is inevitable that they will find it boring. Zhao Wuwu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Lord Zeng can read the confession clearly, and it is up to Lord Zeng to decide whether to sign or not." I'm a person who doesn't like to be strong. ”

After speaking, Zhao Wuwu didn't care about the old man on the ground, and walked towards the steps.

"Lord Zhao?" Zeng Qian was stunned.

Zhao Wuwu paused and was silent.

Zeng Qian took a deep breath, "Why do you want to help me?" ”

"It's nothing, I just think it's not easy for Master Zeng to sit in the position of commander of the Jinyi Guard. Instead of changing people, it's better to find a familiar face, what does Master Zeng think? Zhao Wuwu stood with his hands in his hands.

White-clothed Shengxue, the juvenile city.

Zeng Qian realized that Zhao Wuwu, a young man, had begun to cultivate party henchmen and began to win people's hearts. No matter what means she uses, she is an irrefutable iron fist.

Taking a deep breath, Zeng Qian signed the confession and pressed his handprint. This means that the biggest handle in his life has fallen into the hands of Zhao Wuwu, if Zhao Wuwu wants him to die one day, then ......

Zhao Wuwu left, leaving the old man to Zeng Qian, and didn't even ask a word about the person behind him.

Zeng Qian looked at the carriage that was moving away, and felt that this person was really terrible.

"Why didn't Childe ask clearly? Zeng Qian was obviously not the mastermind of this matter. Su Xi took the shoes and socks and exchanged them for the coldness under Zhao Wuwu's feet.

Xi Mo quickly brought the brazier into the house, even in the summer, Zhao Wuwu's body was very cold.

The room was a lot warmer, and Zhao Wuwu's face turned pale, "Do you think he will speak?" ”

Su Xi was silent.

Zhao Wuwu sighed lightly, "This matter is obviously not Zeng Qian's original intention, since he was threatened by someone, it means that that person has the handle that Zeng Qian doesn't want to know the most." Being held hostage is the same, he will not betray me in front of that person, but he will not betray the person behind the scenes in front of me. It's the same whether you ask or not, so why bother annoying people. ”

"That's true." Review the old and take her pulse, it's okay.

Zhao Wuwu turned his head to look at him, this old man was afraid that she would catch the wind and cold when he saw the wind and rain, and he was afraid that she would faint when he saw her feet shaking. She felt that the final outcome of his life was probably scared to death by her.

Sighing lightly, Zhao Wuwu said, "I'm fine." ”

Wen nodded, "It's better to be careful." ”

"Childe, now that Zeng Qian has the handle in our hands, then ......" Su Xi looked at her worriedly, "Can we make a move?" ”

Zhao Wuwu lowered his head and smiled.

"What are you doing, preparing to leave Beijing?" ”

"If I can't walk in peace, how dare I?" Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, "Someone is behind me and ready to move, I can't let it go." However, whether I can leave the capital or not depends on the situation in the palace. ”

"What's going on in the palace?" I don't understand.

Zhao Wuwu smiled and said nothing.

Of course, the situation is very simple, that is, the emperor's pillow person, can he warm the emperor's ears.

Wang Jinxiu is now pregnant, although she has been promoted to the position of Zhaoyi, but this food supply is given according to the concubine position. Everyone knows that there are many princesses in this palace, but there is no prince, as long as this Wang Jinxiu gives birth to a son, let alone a concubine, even if it is a concubine, it is within reach.

The emperor came over every once in a while, and Wang Jinxiu naturally tasted the benefits of grace. Take a look at this Chunhua Palace, what kind of state it is magnificent, and you can know how unattainable Wang Jinxiu is today.

However, Wang Jinxiu still has a gap in her heart, caressing her lower abdomen, thinking that her handle is in Fu Yuying's hands, as long as she sends it to the emperor in the future, even if she has a son, I am afraid that she will not be able to escape death.

The crime of murdering the emperor's heir is not an exaggeration.

As soon as she thought of this, the hand that caressed her lower abdomen stopped immediately, Fu Yuying's words earlier were still lingering in her ears, she had to think about it, what to do to make Fu Yuying relax her vigilance, how to get back her own confession?

Sensing that his master was a little stunned, Caiyun was stunned, "Niangniang, what's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Wang Jinxiu smiled and immediately came back to his senses.

"Father-in-law De said that the emperor will be there immediately." Caiyun smiled and hugged Wang Jinxiu and walked out.

Wang Jinxiu took a deep breath and didn't say much.

When the Emperor came, he kept his eyes on her lower abdomen, as usual, and then spared her from saluting. Gently taking Wang Jinxiu into his arms, the emperor smiled, "Why don't you look happy today?" ”

"The concubine is not unhappy, the concubine just feels a little uncomfortable." Wang Jinxiu's face was slightly sick.

The emperor was in a hurry, "Come on, go and ask the imperial doctor to come over." ”

Xiao Dezi immediately ran out, this Wang Zhaoyi was pregnant in his belly, but the emperor's heart and liver baby may also be the future crown prince, so he had to be cautious.

The emperor hugged Wang Jinxiu on the soft couch, his eyebrows slightly condensed.

Wang Jinxiu fell softly in the emperor's arms, "Don't worry, the emperor, it is estimated that you are holding on." She smiled gently, "It's all because the concubine herself is not good, and she can't hold back her greed for a while!" ”

"It's best if you're fine, but you'll have to find a doctor to see if it's safe." The emperor frowned at her, "The complexion is still ruddy, but it's okay." ”

"But the emperor's face looks a little tired." Wang Jinxiu's eyebrows raised slightly, "The emperor has been worried about this court recently, and he must be very tired. If you feel tired, just rest here, and the concubine will accompany you. ”

The emperor sighed lightly, "These days, it must be really chaotic. arranged for Mu Baili to send an envoy to the wilderness, settled the case of Zhong Miao, and disposed of the Xia family and a cadre of henchmen. ”

"The concubine heard from the people in the palace that the Chitose Lord went out to the wilderness and was in charge of the tiger talisman." Wang Jinxiu was worried, "Your Majesty, do you really want to go to war?" The concubine panicked. ”

With that, she gently stroked her lower abdomen.

The emperor put his hand on the back of her hand, "It's okay, Mu Baili is used to being measured. ”

"But then the barbarians are all barbarians." Wang Jinxiu pouted, "Your Majesty, if it really starts, does the Chitose Lord have combat experience?" ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think much about it, so he thought about giving Mu Baili the power of the army, and then helping him bring the snow fox back. I heard that this snow fox is the spirit fox of the sky, the most spiritual thing in the world.

Since it is a good thing and has such spirituality, then he, the star king who descended from the sky, has to take a good look. Maybe he has been cultivating for many years and has not risen by day, but he is missing some of these spiritual things.

"Don't be afraid, even if you want to go to war, you won't be able to fight the capital." The emperor said, "This capital is solid, and it will be fine." Now you just have to give birth to a prince with peace of mind, and the rest is relaxed. ”

Wang Jinxiu smiled shyly and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty ......"

"Although Mu Baili has no combat experience, he is strong in martial arts, so it is not a big deal to think about it." The emperor comforted himself.

"That being said, the concubine actually has a concern." Wang Jinxiu sighed lightly, "Has the emperor ever thought about it, if the war really starts, if the Chitose Lord wins, then can this tiger talisman be recovered?" ”

The emperor was stunned, and immediately gasped, and his heart was drumming.

That's a problem!

I just wanted to go out, but I didn't think about what would happen when I came back.

If the tiger talisman can't be taken back, then the east factory ......

Although the emperor ignores the government affairs, he also knows that Dongchang's current power is indeed not small, and if Mu Baili takes charge of the military again, his imperial power may also be damaged. However, Mu Baili was fortunately a eunuch, and the emperor knew that he could not usurp power, but he was also worried that his imperial power would be hollowed out.

Once he becomes a puppet emperor, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The emperor has to take care of his own life!

Realizing that the emperor was also a little timid, Wang Jinxiu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”

The emperor's face turned slightly pale, "It's nothing, but I suddenly feel that what you said seems to make sense." ”

Wang Jinxiu said, "Your Majesty, concubines don't understand government affairs, but pregnant women like to think nonsense, don't take it to heart." If you teach people to know, they will think that the concubine is interfering in politics, and the concubine's life will be difficult to protect. ”

"It's okay, it's okay." The Emperor let go of her in distraughtness, and when he got up, he only felt a pain in his head. The Tiger Talisman has been handed over, and it is not a matter of taking it back at this moment, so what should I do? He wants Snow Fox, but he doesn't want to be left behind.

Where is the perfect way to do both?

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Doctor is here." Xiao Dezi stepped forward and saluted.

The Emperor nodded.

It was Li Qinan who came, saluted respectfully, and then checked Wang Jinxiu's pulse, "Niangniang has slept well recently?" ”

Wang Jinxiu narrowed her eyes, and Caiyun said, "Niangniang has been thinking a lot lately, and she always dreams at night, can the imperial doctor have a way?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Li Qinan said, "Xiaguan will re-dispense medicine to Niangniang." ”

"Thank you, Imperial Doctor Li." Wang Jinxiu smiled lightly.

Li Qinan retreated, and the emperor frowned, "Why do you have a dream in the middle of the night?" ”

"The emperor is not here, and the concubines always feel panicked at night." Wang Jinxiu smiled gently, "If it doesn't matter, it may be that the child is growing up, and the concubine is a little unaccustomed." When the tire image is more stable, it will be better. ”

The emperor nodded and held her slightly cool hand, "Don't worry, the capital is safe." Don't worry about this, worry about that, this tiger talisman, I want to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. ”

"There is a way for concubines, I don't know if the emperor wants to listen to it?" Wang Jinxiu said.

"Tell me about it." The emperor doesn't care about it, what can a woman know?

I only heard Wang Jinxiu speak in a low voice, "Your Majesty, since the nine thousand years old have left the capital, there is no room for everything to turn around, so do you think you can remedy it?" For example, send a prison guard to accompany you? ”

The emperor's eyebrows suddenly raised, "Prison Army? ”

Don't tell me, it seems like a good idea. However, this prison army must let a proper person pass, otherwise it will be a hidden danger. What's more, you have to find someone who can't deal with Mu Baili, and can still control Mu Baili.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is really such a person in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. And this person once had contact with Mu Baili, jointly executed his holy edict, and returned to the capital safe and sound.

The emperor was delighted, yes, it was him!
