At this moment and then, when Zhang Jiusheng threw that question at Yun Sheng, Yun Sheng's fist also "snapped" and clenched, although she had not been in the capital for a long time, she had not forgotten that the person sitting in the imperial city now was the son of the faint monarch who sent her whole family to Huangquan back then.

The prince who was rumored to be arrogant and lascivious back then, she had seen it.

"Hey, I heard that you are the daughter of the prime minister who has repeatedly solved strange cases?" At that time, Li Hongzhi was only the prince, and he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but his name was already faint.

Even if he knew that he was the crown prince, Yunbian didn't really want to deal with him, and he didn't know why this person appeared in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he just said hello and turned around to leave.

"Stop."

"Dare to ask the prince what else to advise?" Yun Bian raised his head, quite a posture of no one in his eyes, but the prince in front of him laughed, and Yun Sheng was a little unhappy: "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Laugh at your youth and frivolity, your edge is too exposed, and you don't know how to restrain. Your temperament must have offended many people. Li Hongzhi said this sentence with a smile, and without waiting for Yunbian to argue more, he waved his hand and left.

At that time, Yunbian did do a lot of things that made people jealous.

And the crown prince at that time was not so foul and loud in reputation.

Yunbian felt that the prince didn't know what to do, her father was an honest and upright prime minister, and her brother was an upright Jingsi Tingwei, and she accompanied her brother to solve cases repeatedly, even if she was not famous in the capital, when she talked about her after dinner, she also felt that the prime minister had accumulated great virtue in his previous life, and he could have a pair of good sons and daughters who could get ahead in this life.

And that's what she thought at the time.

But I didn't know that this was the case, which accelerated the speed of those people's attack on the Prime Minister's Mansion.

If Yunbian was back then, when he heard Zhang Jiusheng ask this, he might not have thought about it and would say to him, everything was just a coincidence. But in front of Yun Sheng, who has experienced life and death, these things are by no means accidental, she can even imagine that in the near future, someone will suddenly jump out of the crowd, and then point to Li Hongzhi's nose and say: "Today's emperor indulges in lust, does not think about the government, closes his eyes and listens, it is really not for me to be the emperor, and there should be another virtuous lord." ”

Now that I think about it, what the prince said to herself at that time was to save her, but at that time, she didn't think about it carefully, and she didn't even mention it to her brother.

Yun Chang sighed, blaming himself for not being smart enough.

"What if this case is really the same as we think?" Yun Sheng looked at the food in front of him, and suddenly lost his appetite.

Zhang Jiusheng shook his head: "There is a hand in the layout, this game of chess has been laid out for a long time, so long that you and I may not be able to guess when." This man is scheming, but his purpose is not to take your life, but if you try to stop him, he will not let you go. ”

Zhang Jiusheng is right, if there are people from such a city, if they want to kill her, they will send her directly to the ghost gate as early as when there is an accident in the Prime Minister's Mansion. But she hid in Zheng Taishi's mansion for two years, except for being poisoned, she was unharmed at all, if it weren't for Zheng Taishi's eagerness and refusal to wait, she would not have discovered Zheng Taishi's wolf ambition and fled the capital.

However, even so, it is unknown whether this person wants to subvert the imperial court or purge the hundred officials.

"How? Do you want to continue to check? ”

Outside the window, the night is dark.

As soon as today passes, the depressing atmosphere of the Midyear Festival will slowly fade away with the clear moonlight, and tomorrow morning, the white flags in the house and the ashes after the paper money are burned will also be cleaned up, and the thoughts of the living relatives have followed those wandering lonely souls to the underworld the day before, accompanied them on the Nai He Bridge, and finally dissolved into the bowl of Meng Po soup.

Yun Sheng gradually tightened his palm, and Zhang Jiusheng stretched out his hand to hold it gently: "Yun Sheng, who is the person behind Zhou Xuanming, and what he wants to do, we don't know." But you must know that if you intervene in this case to the end, you will expose yourself to others, and those who seek your life and want your life, the knives they hide in their sleeves will be exposed. ”

"I know." Yun Sheng's thoughts in her mind turned wildly, she slowly raised her head and held Zhang Jiusheng's hand: "But what if this person can help me?" ”

Zhang Jiusheng opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say to persuade for a while.

"My father died tragically, my brother went into exile, and I have survived to this day, which must be the maximum amount he can protect my Prime Minister's Mansion. Now that so many years have passed, his power should have a solid foundation, and if I am shackled at this time, won't it make him feel cold? ”

"But what if he's a wolf? It's possible to do both, so do you have to take the risk? ”

Yun Sheng slowly let go of Zhang Jiusheng's hand, grabbed the chopsticks, buried his head and took a few bites of rice, and said vaguely: "I will try my best to get better, not to be a burden to you, the grievances of my prime minister's house, I want to settle it myself." No matter how tortuous and dangerous the road ahead is, I always have to give it a try, and my brother is still waiting for me. ”

Seeing her like this, Zhang Jiusheng only watched quietly, and although he had more words in his heart, he didn't say anything.

After three years of getting along, he knew what kind of person Yun Sheng was, before he fell into a coma, and after he woke up, the decisions she made were the most suitable for her at the moment. Don't look at her soft and weak, her body bones like she falls when the wind blows, but sometimes her temper is better than his.

"Second Young Master......"

"You say." Zhang Jiusheng poured a cup of tea and placed it in Yun Sheng's hand.

"Am I going to drag you down?" Yun Sheng was holding the rice bowl with both hands at this time, the chopsticks were biting into his mouth, his eyes were like the eyes of a deer, and he looked at Zhang Jiusheng with watery eyes, and Zhang Jiusheng's heart was so soft that he was dumbfounded.

Reaching out and rubbing Yun Sheng's head, Zhang Jiusheng smiled: "No." ”

Even if he said this, Yun Sheng knew in his heart that this was just a word of comfort, and whether it would affect it or not was not up to them, but the hand behind him to decide.

But since she has decided to investigate this case, no matter what she finds in the end, there is no turning back.

In the past, there was a father, and a brother supported herself behind her, so she had nothing to fear, and then her father and brother had accidents one after another, leaving her alone, she kept a breath and tried her best to survive, but also to one day settle her grievances, she has broken so many cases, and held her innocence for so many people, she can also let the eldest grandson stand in front of the emperor again, and she is bright.

This night, Yun Sheng slept well, but Zhang Jiusheng tossed and turned, and after tossing and turning for I don't know how many times, he still put on his coat and left Zhang's mansion.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

There was a knock on the door, and the lights lit up in Zhang Qiye's room.

"So late, what's the matter?" Zhang Qiye's face is not very good, anyone who is tired for a day during the day and is not allowed to sleep at night will not have a good face, even if it is his dear brother standing in front of him.

"Brother, I can't sleep." Zhang Jiusheng flattened his mouth, and rubbed into the house as he spoke.

Zhang Qiye yawned, a layer of water splashed in his eyes, and watched Zhang Jiusheng slowly move into the house, and then lay on the table again, followed by a wail: "Brother......"

"Don't howl, it's okay if you can't sleep, but I can sleep." Zhang Qiye plucked out his ears, wrapped his coat tightly, and closed the door as he spoke, seeing that Zhang Jiusheng was only staring at himself and not speaking, Zhang Qiye thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, I'll give you some soothing medicine?" ”

"Brother, this case is tricky." Zhang Qiye lay on the table, like a wilted rabbit, his ears were so drooping, and he had no energy at all.

"I heard that Mr. Zhou's death was miserable."

Zhang Jiusheng rubbed his hands, covered his face, and took it down for a long time: "Not only that, but also because Mr. Zhou is implicated in the imperial court behind his back." Selfishly, I don't want Yun Sheng to meddle in this case, otherwise, I told her that there was already news of her brother? And then send her to escape the limelight outside the gate? ”

Zhang Qiye glanced at him, obviously not optimistic about this idea: "Do you think she will agree to leave now?" ”

"I don't know!" Zhang Jiusheng howled again and lay on the table.

"Sheng'er, Yun Sheng's mind now is not whether her brother is alive or not, but how to wash away her grievances for the Prime Minister's Mansion, if you tell her at this time, her brother is still alive, she will be more determined to investigate this case. If it weren't for her body not allowing her to travel long distances, believe it or not, she would have set off for the capital immediately. Zhang Qiye said conclusively, stretched out his hand to cover the back of Zhang Jiusheng's head, and patted it gently: "Sheng'er, if you care, you will be chaotic, Yunsheng is not the kind of golden silk bird who can't be blown by the wind and rain, it was so difficult at the beginning, she escaped from the capital alone, not to mention that now that we are by her side, how can she have anything?" ”

Zhang Jiusheng let out a long sigh: "That's right, but ...... But ......"

"Be good, obedient." Zhang Qiye patted the back of Zhang Jiusheng's head again and yawned, he was really sleepy.

"Then what about those people in the city now?"

"Don't worry, tomorrow I will go and send some small gifts to those people one by one, and keep them that they don't want to stay in Fan County for a moment." When Zhang Qiye said this, his eyes flashed, Zhang Jiusheng seemed to have seen the fate of those people in the rivers and lakes who wanted to do wrong, fortunately this is his brother, and he will not attack him, otherwise he doesn't know how he died, it would be really miserable.

finally drove Zhang Jiusheng away, Zhang Qiye was already sleepy and didn't know how to know the north, south, south, and north, and just closed the door when he kicked his shoes and jumped into bed.

Blown by the cold wind in the night, most of Zhang Jiusheng's sleepy insects also went, and he walked slowly on the street, thinking back to the words that Zhang Qiye said to him, sentence by sentence, very clear.

When he stopped, he was standing outside the door of the red bean platform.

Here, it seems that she has not been affected by Hongdou's imprisonment for too long, and she has only been depressed for a while before it becomes lively again, and now she has no clothes to take the place of Hongdou, seemingly leaning comfortably against the door frame, watching people enter and exit at the door, but there is no joy in her eyes, desolate as autumn.
