Zhao Yu shook his head and said, ". The grass people just felt strange, and secretly used the cinnabar pen they carried with them to quickly draw his portrait. To be honest, the grass people did have a curiosity to find out, but they didn't dare to continue staring because they were afraid of the few guards around him. After finishing the painting, I was afraid that someone would find out, so I hurriedly checked out and left. ”

When the emperor saw that he knew nothing more than that, he didn't know where Zhou Qingshan lived in detail, but he believed it more in his heart. What's more, it's not difficult to judge the truth of this matter, as long as you send someone to Luzhou to check it carefully.

Therefore, he just chatted for a while, and was concerned about letting him have a good time in Kyoto City, so he ordered him and Du Fengsheng to retreat.

Immediately, he called the people from the Dust Purification Division over and instructed them to go to Luzhou immediately to investigate. If he found that Zhou Qingshan was still alive, he would quietly kill him.

Du Fengsheng and Zhao Yu returned to Tianxiang Building, sat idle for a while, and left Zhao Yu in Tianxiang Building. In the dark, Lei Zhu and Chasing the Wind are staring at it, so as not to be ruthless on the side of King Yong.

Sure enough, at night, when the lights went out, a wisp of incense blew into Zhao Yu's room. Not long after, a man in black with neat hands broke through the window, but he didn't know what method to use, quietly. In fact, in Tianxiang Building, the lights were turned off early in Zhao Yu's room, and the other rooms were all drunk and tired of singing and dancing.

The slender man in black was very powerful, and he carried the seven-foot-tall Zhao Yu and rushed out. And the posture was fluttering, and it landed firmly on the ground. took Zhao Yu and went to the back door of King Yong's mansion.

Lei Stop and Chasing Wind glanced at each other and followed.

In fact, His Royal Highness said that King Yong's side would inevitably attract the emperor's attention, as long as Zhao Yu didn't provoke him too much, it would be impossible for him to be ruthless, and it was estimated that it was just to intimidate him to leave Kyoto City as soon as possible. But just in case, I sent them along. Let them just want to hide, and if they can't keep an eye on it, it doesn't matter, just withdraw as soon as possible.

Weaving Star directly took Zhao Yu to King Yong's bedroom. Naturally, instead of questioning him in the dormitory, he was led into a secret passage behind the wall of the dormitory.

The Yong King, wearing a hideous mask, turned his back to him. Zhixing lit the oil lamp in the secret passage on the side and gave Zhao Yu an antidote. After a while, Zhao Yu woke up.

When I woke up, I was so frightened that I felt like I was going to pee my pants.

King Yong waited for him to be frightened for a while, and then deliberately said in a deep voice: "What did the emperor ask you to go to Weiyang Palace today?" ”

Zhao Yu carefully distinguished, but King Yong stood in the shadow that the oil lamp could not illuminate, and he couldn't see the figure of this person. But although the voice was deliberately suppressed, he could still hear some youthful feelings, not as old as Zhen Guogong.

But he trembled and asked in a trembling voice, "You...... You...... Who are you? ”

"You don't care who I am, you just answer me. As long as you answer truthfully, you will have a way to live. If you have a hard mouth, or dare to fool your own officials, this is your burial place. King Yong deliberately used the word "Benguan" in order to hide his identity.

Zhao Yu naturally couldn't expose him, and he was still trembling with fear. After a while, he said, "Earth, earth, earth...... The ground is so cold, I'm going to sit on a stool! ”

"Look for death!" Weaver kicked him in the back!

But before he could get out, he pulled him back by the hair.

"Say!" Weaver slammed his head to the ground.

"Bang!" Zhao Yu heard his first muffled sound, and suddenly felt that his eyes were full of stars.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, he really acted too much, isn't this asking for hardship? But King Chen's side specially explained, he must struggle for a while and act like something.

Therefore, he still said stiffly: "You, you, you...... I'll tell you what good you give me? I've met the Holy One! With the blessing of the saint, it is not the same as the person who grabs a lot of people on the street! ”

"Okay, you can see if it's our knife here that is fast, or the people in the palace who are fast." King Yong spoke in a deep voice again.

Zhao Yu trembled with fright. This time it wasn't pretending, but it was really scared. He knew that King Yong was probably going to use a knife on him. In order to be realistic in the first bit, he also had to let the fierce woman stab the knife in.

"Ah......" was nervous, the woman put away the knife, and the dagger cut a deep blood path on his arm. The pain made him tremble, and he almost shouted his mother!

"You, you, you......" Zhao Yu exclaimed bitterly and stammered a few words.

"This is the first cut. The official asks you again, and if you still don't say it, there will be a second knife and a third knife. King Yong said in a deep voice.

Zhao Yu covered the wound with a trembling hand, trembled for a long time, and trembled: "I, me, I...... I say...... I said no! But you have to promise you, I'm going to say it, and I'm going to live......"

"Of course. Your rotten life is worthless, kill your dirty hands. "Yong Wang said.

Zhao Yu didn't dare to refute, so he could only be silent, which was regarded as acquiescing to King Yong's words.

"Say, what are you doing in Kyoto Castle?" King Yong asked.

"I, I, I...... Small...... The little ones come to play. Small...... The little one was three years ago, but the people who had been selected by the temple were still ...... He also worked as an official. ”

"I'm not interested in who you are. You just said, what are you doing in Kyoto City? Still want a knife? "King Yong is really not interested in his identity. As long as he explains his intentions, his identity can also be revealed.

"Small...... Small ......"

"Tell the truth!" Zhixing used the dagger in his hand to hit Zhao Yu in the face.

Frightened, Zhao Yu hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and said, "The little one said, the little one said...... Small...... The small one is to sue! ”

"Complaint? Sue whom? King Yong said in a deep voice.

"Yes...... Be...... Lord Dahonglu Zhou. Zhao Yu said.

"Oh? The Great Hung Lu? He has been dismissed and exiled, what are you going to accuse him of? King Yong asked.

Zhao Yu took the opportunity to tremble and said, "Yes, yes...... After the little one came to Kyoto Castle, he learned that he had been dismissed. I know that I have come for nothing, and I am depressed. ”

"I see, you really don't want to live......" King Yong's deep voice was full of murderous aura.

The dagger in Weave Star's hand was already on Zhao Yu's shoulder.

"Your Excellency spares your life...... Spare your life...... The little ones said, the little ones all said......" Zhao Yu was so frightened that he didn't dare to kowtow. His body stiffened, motionless.

In fact, people's true fear and false fear can still be distinguished as long as they are carefully distinguished. This is also another reason why King Chen asked Zhao Yu to do this. That is-he has been pampered all year round, and he is really timid. But he is indeed a very upright and filial person, in order to repay the grace of the brush, for the sake of the family's business, as long as it does not hurt his life, he will definitely persevere.

"Then let's talk about it." Yong Wang Road.

"Yes, yes...... The little one said......" Zhao Yu still stiffened his body and said, "The little one did participate in the imperial examination three years ago, and he also visited Lord Dahonglu Zhou. At that time, in order to ensure that he could pass the examination, Xiao gave Zhou a large sum of money and asked him to help with the situation. The little one got the 'Chuan Lu' that year, and was called to the palace to be sacred. The saint sealed the small one as a county order, and the small one disliked that the official was too young, so he resigned after a year......"

Later, the little one regretted it again, but he had almost forgotten his knowledge, and he didn't have the money to ask for officials again. When he was wandering around, just a while ago, he happened to see Da Honglu in Luzhou. But when I think about it, hasn't Da Honglu been exiled? Why did you suddenly appear in Luzhou? Xiao realized that this was an opportunity, so he hurried to Kyoto and told Du Zhongzheng about it, so that he could have the opportunity to meet the saint. ”

After listening carefully, King Yong said, "The emperor summoned you today, just to ask you about this?" Are you sure the person you saw in Luzhou was indeed Zhou Qingshan? And what did the emperor say? ”

"Small nature can be sure. In front of the emperor, how dare the little one lie? Naturally, that's what it says. Zhao Yu's fear has been alleviated.

"What did the emperor say?" King Yong asked.

"The emperor said that the little one should have a good time in Kyoto City, so he didn't say anything." Zhao Yu said.

King Yong was silent for a moment and said, "But someone asked you to say that?" ”

"What...... Who? Say what? Zhao Yu was puzzled.

"Someone asked you to come to Beijing and told Du Fengsheng about meeting Zhou Qingshan, and asked you to say so in front of the emperor." King Yong explained.

"What......" Zhao Yu reflected for a while and said, "The little one thinks this is an opportunity, so I went back and discussed it with the little one, and she also supported the little one to do it." ”

Yongwang Zheng felt that he was pretending to be stupid, and was about to reprimand him in a deep voice. didn't wait to speak, and heard Zhao Yu say: "Other than that, there is no one else." Adult, this kind of thing also depends on chance, who can stare at the little shrimp every day? The little one is really just confused for a while, and there is really no one behind it! Spare the little ones, adults! The little one knows that the situation in Kyoto City is chaotic now, but the little one really isn't a group of people, and the little one just wants to ask an official to do it! ”

Hearing him say this, King Yong felt that it was nothing. He said so clearly about the situation in Kyoto City, and then insisted that he had nothing to do with these battles, but it showed that he really had nothing to do with these things. If not, he must be pretending to be stupid and deliberately avoiding it and not mentioning it.

"Didn't King Chen ask you to come?" Yong Wang Road.

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Actually...... King Chen probably knows about this. Because from the conversation with Du Zhongzheng, Xiao learned that he was on King Chen's side. Maybe before the little one entered the palace, or after the little one entered the palace, Du Zhongzheng had already told the little one about his intentions to King Chen. ”

King Yong thought about it for a while, and felt that in fact, it didn't matter whether this matter had anything to do with the third child or not. It's just that someone exposed the uncle, the emperor wanted to send someone to investigate, and the uncle was worried about his life, that's all. Even if the third child asked him to do it, his purpose was only to use his father's hand to further suppress him.

And his father has already understood the decree, and he will still take him to Mengshan this year. It is estimated that the third child felt the crisis, and was afraid that his father would revive him, so he was busy using the affairs of the Zhou family to make his father angry with him.

Regardless of whether this matter was instructed by the third child, as long as the father found out that the uncle was really in Luzhou, he would not be able to escape this anger. But in fact, these are not very important to him anymore. Because the emperor's people came back from Luzhou, the Mengshan hunt should have begun. At that time, he had already seen his father's attitude, whether he was advancing or retreating, and he also had a certain number in his heart.

Thinking about it carefully, I felt that even if Zhao Yu was called over to find out, this matter would be boring. Then he said in a deep voice: "Seeing that you are still honest, I will spare your life for the time being." Get out of Kyoto City and don't let the official look at it! ”
