Chapter 43: Eavesdropping under the window

When Qu Song heard this, his expression suddenly changed greatly.

Shang Zi was surprised, and Ding Can had already taken another drink.

But don't Qu Song pour wine, he picked up the wine jug and poured a full glass. Before he put down the wine jug, he saw Qu Song also pick up the cup and drink it up.

Ding Can poured it for Qu Song again, and said with a smile: "Let you have a few drinks with me, but you refuse, but it turns out that there is no appetizer to your heart." ”

Qu Song couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The salt tax case has been tried to such a point, you still have the heart to laugh... What exactly are you going to do? ”

"What can I do," Ding Can put the wine glass between his fingers, twisting it back and forth gently, although there was a slight smile on his lips, his eyes were full of cold and resolute looks, "Naturally, I want to join forces with the people of the Three Law Divisions to play according to the facts, I am a clear name, how can I be damaged because of him King Wei." Moreover, there is also the testimony of Guan Ming, the salt tax account of the household department, and he King Wei is now three heads and six arms, and he is inseparable from this case. ”

Qu Song let out a long sigh, "The King of Wei is arrogant and arrogant, and he has always been eager to repay him, I am just worried that the Holy Lord will still have room for him, and if he regains power in the future, he will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate." ”

"Afraid of what?" Ding Can brought the wine glass between his fingers to his lips, took a sip, and laughed, "If everything is forward, why should I be the commander of this Golden Feather Guard, it is better to go home and be a rich idler, and also marry a few beautiful wives and concubines, and live a happy life." ”

Qu Song shook his head and smiled and raised his glass, the two drank a cup of each other, Qu Song said again: "However, the saint has always hated the princes for having too close personal relations with his ministers, and the king of Wei actually accepted Tong Guan and the two of them to be greedy for ink and salt taxes, and filled his own pockets, thinking that this time the saint may not indulge him." ”

"That's not necessarily," Ding Can shook his head indifferently, "Although the Heavenly Family has no father and son, but in the end, it is the blood of the closest relatives, and the King of Wei has won the Sacred Heart for several years, as far as I can see, I am afraid that this matter will probably not hurt his foundation." ”

Qu Song's expression darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "If it is a private relationship with a minister, the crime of embezzling ink and taxes and silver can't help King Wei, what about the big crime of assassinating Guan Ming and wanting to destroy human evidence?" ”

Ding Can was silent for a moment, and Fang slowly muttered, "... I don't know why, although there is the poisoned jailer who testifies against King Wei, I always have a faint feeling in my heart that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, but I am afraid that there is another mystery. ”

Qu Song nodded, "-I heard from my father that someone sent a secret letter to Jin Yuwei in advance?" ”

"Yes, the soldiers below received the letter, and because they did not know what was written in it, they read it first, but they were not sure whether it was true or not, and presented it. At first, I was also skeptical, but I wanted to believe that I would rather believe it than believe it, so I immediately arranged for people to lay down secret defenses in Dali Temple, and personally led people to Cangzhou. It's just that although Guan Ming was saved, Tong Baili's guy - hmph, he is very stupid and loyal. ”

"Sure enough, who is the person who sent the letter, but there is no clue? Could it be that someone around King Wei defected and betrayed King Wei? ”

"I've ordered someone to track it down, but I don't know yet." Ding Can's eyes were heavy, and there was a hint of worry between his eyebrows, "This salt tax case, on the surface, it seems that it is just a prince and a minister who are greedy for ink, but behind it, I am afraid that it is still related to the competition for the prince and the heir..."

Before the words fell, I suddenly heard a shout in the courtyard outside.

"Who?!"

Ding Can quickly got up and walked to the south window when he heard the sound, and looked out, only to see a fluffy little girl like a snow ball, running out of the yard.

Ah Li walked quickly to the window, and whispered through the window: "Master, it's the little girl I saw in the plum garden just now-I was lazy, and I don't know how long she listened under the window..."

Ding Can was silent and waved his hand, and Ah Li quietly retreated.

Qu Song followed closely behind Ding Can, and also glanced out, only to see a snow-like figure flashing away at the courtyard gate, and couldn't help laughing: "Why scare her, that's my cousin, presumably came to find me, if you are frightened by your people, my mother will inevitably feel distressed again, and I will not rest with you." ”

"Your cousin?" Ding Can turned his head to look at Qu Song, his eyebrows raised slightly, "In addition to Yu'er, how come I don't know when you have another cousin?" ”

"That's my aunt's daughter, my aunt died a few years ago, my uncle only served as the political envoy of Yunguibu a few days ago, and the little girl was left unattended, so my uncle left her to my mother."

Ding Can suddenly said: "Yunguibu's political envoy... Isn't it Lu Mian? I've heard of his reputation, and the Tanhualang of the Armor Department is a person with real talent and learning. ”

Qu Song couldn't help but stretch out his finger at him, crying and laughing: "You, although you are the same generation as my uncle, are several years younger than him, and you still judge him in this old-fashioned tone." ”

Ding Can sat down at the table again, and said with a smile: "What about being younger?" The seniority is here, who dares to deny it? He glanced at Qu Song again, "Speaking of which, I'm still your elder, and I don't see you calling me a second uncle on weekdays, so it's really not big or small." ”

Qu Song couldn't stop laughing, and said: "I'm getting more and more cheeky, when you get married, you will add a second aunt to me, you don't need to mention it, I will change my words." ”

Ding Can smiled but didn't say anything.

Qu Song picked up the wine glass, the two of them drank another glass, and then poured it on their own, but Qu Song suddenly smiled quietly and said, "How?" The Qinglan girl of Tatefangyuan, is it still to your liking? Seeing that Ding Can was slightly stunned, he smiled again, "Don't say that it has nothing to do with you, although others don't know, you don't want to hide it from me." ”

"Even you know, who else can I hide?" Ding Can smiled faintly, disappreciative, "I just pity her for being lonely, for her... I don't really have much of a heart. ”

Qu Song pretended to be sorry, and sighed: "I heard that Miss Qinglan is both beautiful and artistic, such a woman, you can't get a point or two of your sincerity, so what other woman in this world can enter your eyes?" In my opinion, I don't have to think about asking you to add a second aunt to me, and you don't have to think about asking me to call you a second uncle. ”

*

Ah Li's shout almost frightened Lu Jiayue out of the sky on the spot.

Since she was a child, she has never done such a humiliating thing as listening to the corner... It's just a shame, but someone found out.

That's a big shame.

It wasn't that she deliberately wanted to eavesdrop, but she just came into the courtyard with a flower branch, there was no one inside or outside, although the door of the study was hidden, and she was not easy to break in at will, and she heard that Qu Song seemed to be talking to a man in the study, so she guessed that Qu Song was entertaining guests, and she had no intention of staying, but she was curious for a while, so she stepped forward and listened to it under the window. Who knew that when she heard Qu Song and the man talking about the salt tax case, her feet suddenly seemed to take root, growing under the window, and she couldn't walk.

Listening to it seriously, who expected that someone suddenly appeared, shouting, but it was also a thief who was inevitably weak-hearted, and he panicked, so he ran away in fright.

Eavesdropping on the corners of the wall, in the end, it is still a loss.

Lu Jiayue rushed to the second gate in one breath before stopping.

"Xin Zhu, take a look... Later, can someone chase after you? ”

The master and servant held on to the pillar under the door, Lu Jiayue held her chest and panted, Xin Zhu gasped even more, poked her head out and looked out.
