Qi Bokun suddenly became suspicious: "You won't do any crime of killing your head, right?" ”

"There is absolutely no murder, arson, or adultery." Qi Muyuan raised his hand, "I swear." ”

These two children grew up watching by themselves, and what they usually did, Qi Bokun knew very well, and knew that it was impossible for them to commit the crime of killing their heads under their noses. The character of the two children is also definitely trustworthy.

"Then why is it important?" He asked.

"I'll tell you about this when you get the edict and the time is right." Qi Mu is far away.

Qi Bokun didn't say anything when he asked Qi Muyuan, so he had to suppress the doubts in his heart and said, "You pack up and go to Runzhou early tomorrow morning." ”

Without waiting for Qi Muyuan to speak, he stared at his eyes very seriously: "Those words, they can't come out of your mouth, they must be put forward by Du Jinning himself." Xiaoyuan, you are not only good friends with Du Jinning, you are also my grandson of Qi Bokun and the descendant of the Qi family. You have to think about your family. So, even if it's for show, you have to go to Runzhou. ”

Qi Muyuan closed his mouth.

If Du Jinning himself didn't say anything, as Du Jinning's classmate and friend, he bargained with Zhao Mei, and his name was not right, and his teacher was unknown; Second, it will also drag down the family and make Zhao Yu have a bad impression of his family.

Qi Wencong is okay, that is an unenterprising guy who has a wife and is full of everything. But my grandfather worked hard all his life, and finally stood in the high position he is now, and he couldn't let his grandfather become an unpopular person in front of the emperor because of his children's personal feelings. What's more, there is also a younger brother Qi Mulin. When he grows up, he is also going to enter the official career.

"Okay, I'll go to Runzhou tomorrow." Qi Muyuan is as good as a stream.

Early the next morning, he took Ma Biao and Guanqi to Runzhou.

He knew that Du Jinning was definitely not on Zhuangzi, but waiting for the will at home. Therefore, when he arrived in Runzhou in the afternoon, he did not go to Zhuangzi, but went directly into the city and went to Dufu.

"You're here?" Du Jinning didn't seem surprised by his arrival, welcomed him into his courtyard, and asked, "What did the emperor say?" ”

Qi Muyuan said what Qi Bokun said and what he asked, and said, "Jinning, this is an opportunity. ”

Du Jinning's hanging heart suddenly relaxed, nodded and said: "I'm still worried that the situation is not tight, and the emperor doesn't care much about me for a year." Now that we are tight, it is naturally our chance. ”

She said: "Just as you said, negotiate terms with the emperor." If he doesn't even want to write an edict, then I will report to Ding Wei again. ”

"Where is your senior brother, do you want him to know?" Qi Muyuan asked.

Du Jinning thought for a while and stood up: "While he hasn't left the yamen yet, I'll accompany you to the yamen." ”

Based on various considerations, when she reported to Ding Wei, she sent Yao Shuqi to the yamen to avoid telling Guan Jiatian. She also asked Yao Shuqi to tell Guan Jiatian not to make a noise first, and even Tao Huahui to hide it first, and it would not be too late to wait for the emperor to have a holy will.

Although Guan Jiatian didn't know what medicine was sold in Du Jinning's gourd, his relationship with Du Jinning was much closer than that with Tao Huahui.

Originally, according to the degree of secrecy of this matter, Qi Muyuan's itinerary today did not let Guan Jiatian know at all, and when she negotiated the conditions with Zhao Yu and Zhao Yu made a will, she could explain to Guan Jiatian in private.

A courtier and a petty official dared to bargain with the emperor about Ding Wei, and this matter was not a good thing for her or Zhao Ming.

Lishui County, Gui Province is thousands of miles away from Runzhou, and Du Chensheng's death, as long as she doesn't say it, Zhao Yu or Qi Bokun will send someone to go to Lishui County and give Lishui County a no-talk order, as long as no one goes out of their way to investigate, no one knows, at least it can be concealed for a long time. With her way of dying, this matter did not affect her at all.

But Du Jinning has always taken one step and three steps to do things, and likes to leave a back hand for himself in everything.

What if for various reasons, she did not recover her daughter and continued to be an official in the court? Or did she recover her daughter's body, but she still came out of the court and participated in court politics as a woman?

Her identity is already sensitive, if at that time, someone came to attack her, and Zhao Yu refused to admit that he had taken away the affection, making her infamy; Even when Zhao Yu used this to impeach her and force her to give up the right in her hand, today's move of Qi Muyuan to find Guan Jiatian in the yamen can become a powerful evidence for her rebuttal.

Either way, it's always a good idea to do a little more and be careful.

Based on this consideration, when she and Qi Muyuan went to the yamen, she did not avoid others, and deliberately passed by Tao Huahui's house.

When Qi Muyuan came to Runzhou for the first time, he had drunk with Guan Jiatian and Tao Huahui, and Tao Huahui naturally recognized him. Seeing him coming, Tao Huahui immediately came out of the house, saw Qi Muyuan's salute, and asked, "How come Lord Qi has time to come to Runzhou?" ”

Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning have a deep tacit understanding, Du Jinning did not say the intention of coming to the Yamen to find Guan Jiatian, but Qi Muyuan can guess it if he thinks about it.

Zhao Yu did not tell Qi Muyuan to hide his whereabouts, he came to the yamen to find Guan Jiatian, as long as he did not reveal his will to the outside world, Zhao Yu could only say that he was not in a good position, and it was not good to deal with him.

So at this time, he didn't make excuses, but said half-truthfully: "The emperor has a secret decree for Master Guan, and I came here to pass on the holy message." ”

As soon as he heard the two words of the secret decree, Tao Huahui didn't want to ask again, and said with a smile: "Lord Guan is in that room, and Lord Du is leading it, so I won't go over to join in the fun." ”

Qi Muyuan nodded and followed Du Jinning over.

Ma Jian's house was next door to Tao Huahui, and he had also seen Qi Muyuan.

Seeing Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning walking away, he leaned over and asked curiously, "Master Tao, Lord Qi is here to find Master Guan, but what is the case?" ”

Tao Huahui shook his head and said lightly: "I don't know, he didn't say it." So saying, he went into his own room.

Ma Jian's temperament is relatively soft, and his ability is mediocre, and he was oppressed by Cao Hongshou and even the entire yamen in the past, and he was in a difficult situation.

Although his situation in the yamen has improved now because Guan Jiatian has rectified the yamen, everyone still looks down on him in their bones.

The officials didn't dare to come to Guan Jiatian or Tao Huahui to inquire around, but Ma Jian had no scruples here. As soon as Tao Huahui left, some officials asked him about it.

Knowing that Qi Muyuan was an official of Dali Temple, specializing in investigating major cases and corrupt officials, everyone discussed it one after another, speculating whether a major case had occurred near Runzhou.
