When Zou saw Zou Qi, he felt shocked and frightened. But after a moment, he calmed down, his eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were clearer and brighter than usual, and he asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”

Zou Qi reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth and replied: "People are not like people, and ghosts are not like ghosts." ”

Zou's face turned a little white, pursed his lips, and said, "I didn't expect my brother to be alive." ”

"But our Zou family all died at the hands of Emperor Yuan!" Zou shouted sharply.

"What, you still want to kill Emperor Yuan to take revenge?" Zou became more and more calm, and went back to the soft couch to lie down, "Brother, you are also old, live the rest of your life in peace." ”

"No, I don't want to kill Emperor Yuan, and I don't want to live in this life, I want to frame my person with a blade, kill him and sacrifice to the spirit of my Zou family!"

The Zou family said coldly: "Brother, it was your own initiative to kill the prisoners of war, and Emperor Yuan's order to exterminate the Zou family was also for a reason, who can you blame?" Listen to me, and live in peace! ”

"No, the killing of prisoners of war is not a military order from me, it is clearly Yin Che, the little king and eight lambs, who accompanied me to conquer Guyu, and afterwards ordered all the prisoners to be buried alive, and counted the matter on my head!" Zou Qi said, beating his two legs: "I did everything in prison, and my two legs were abolished, if it wasn't for Lord Sizhou Thorn Shicha secretly sent someone to save me, how could I survive in the world!" ”

Zou looked at Zou Qi in disbelief and asked suspiciously, "It was the Fourth Prince Yin Che who really ordered the killing of prisoners of war, not you?" ”

Zou Qi snorted coldly and said: "I, Zou Qi, kill people on the battlefield without blinking, but I will never kill the old and weak women and children who have no ability to resist!" ”

Zou thought for a while, and then asked, "Why have you been staying in Luoyang?" If you want to kill Yin Che for revenge, you should go to Liangzhou City, which he guards. ”

Zou Qi slapped the table, "My two legs are useless, how can I go to Liangzhou City?" Besides, Liangzhou is all his soldiers and horses, my cruel life, it is difficult to get close to him, why talk about assassinating him? However, Yin Che and Master Cha have been friends since childhood, and every time they return to Xuchang from Liangzhou to report on their work, they have to pass through Luoyang, and take a short rest in the state capital, so I will wait here, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate. ”

Zou frowned slightly, as if he suddenly thought of something, and pondered for a while before he spoke: "Since Lord Tea has a very close relationship with the Fourth Prince, he secretly let you go, and the Fourth Prince's Lord really doesn't know?" ”

Zou was startled and frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

Zou hesitated: "I know a little bit about Lord Tea, before he did the history of Sizhou Assassin, he was a prince who washed horses in Xuchang for a while, and he was also recommended by the fourth prince to the first emperor. To put it bluntly, Lord Tea is the confidant of the Four Princes, and if he lets you go, I think the Four Princes will definitely know, maybe the Four Princes sent Lord Tea to rescue you. Since he wants to save you, does it mean that he did not order the killing of prisoners of war? ”

Zou Qi thought about it carefully, and suddenly fidgeted: "Back then, there were only me and Yin Che as the commander of the army, and I didn't give an order, who else could he have?" ”

Zou looked at him intently: "Brother, if you are bent on revenge, I have no objection, anyway, I have already disowned the Zou family." But I hope you will find out the truth and not be used by traitors to kill innocent people in vain. ”

Zou Qi closed his eyes, as if he was thinking.

"I also deeply dislike the Yin clan, but some crimes cannot be put on their heads in vain." Zou picked up the cup on the side of the desk and shook it unhurriedly: "Brother, since you have met with me, you will live in Baifu in the future." ”

Zou Qi was silent for a long time, and nodded slightly, "There is also a girl from the ancient fish country, who was also rescued by Master Cha back then, and has taken good care of me in the past three years." ”

"Brother, don't worry, I'll send someone to inform her."

"I mean, I want to redeem her and take her to live with her." Zou Qi said seriously.

"What?" Zou asked rhetorically, looking at the expression on his face, he seemed reluctant to take the girl in his mouth over.

"Since you don't agree, I can't force it," Zou Qi's acupuncture point that was pointed by Shen Qing just now had been unlocked, he moved down from the stool, squatted on the ground, turned around and was about to go out: "Thank you for your kindness, I'd better go back." ”

"Wait!" Zou hurriedly spoke, and when he saw Zou pause, he sighed and said, "That's it, Baifu doesn't mind raising a girl from a green building, so I should take care of you." Tell me the name of the man, and I will send her back tomorrow. ”

When Zou Qi heard this, he sat back in a chair.

*

There were too many questions about Cha Jinzhi last night, and the next morning, Bai Junzhuo wanted to go straight to the state capital. But as soon as he went out, he was stopped by Yin Xun.

"Where are you going so early in the morning?" Yin Xun asked curiously.

"Ask the tea lady about something." Bai Junzhuo replied, and thought of what Zou said to her last night, and couldn't help but ask him: "What did you do to grandma last night?" Why does grandma hate you so much all of a sudden? ”

Yin Xun smiled faintly: "The Zou family already hates me. ”

"I hated you, but I didn't interfere with my dealings with you, but last night, grandma not only said that I was not allowed to be involved with you, but also that I was not allowed to be involved with all the surnames Yin." Bai Junzhuo stretched out his finger and poked his chest: "You are so powerful, bullying the old man." ”

Yin Xun grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "What about you?" Listen to your grandmother and ignore me from now on? ”

"It's not that I ignore you," Bai Junzhuo said, "However, grandma said so, I will definitely not go to Chang'an with you in the future." ”

Yin Xun just smiled slightly, no longer said about it, and asked instead: "Aren't you looking for Cha Jinzhi, don't go to the state capital, just call him directly." It just so happens that I also have something to ask him, and I think Zou Qi, who came over last night, is also full of questions. ”

"Just call me?" Bai Junzhuo shook his head, "That's not good, after all, he is the governor of a state, how can he call someone over for our family's family affairs." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lu Kang walking in from outside, followed by Cha Jinzhi.

She heard Cha Jinzhi say to Lu Kang: "Lord Lu, let Cha Mou come here, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Land...... Lord Lu? Well, since Yin Xun is a prince, his follower is also an adult.

Lu Kang brought Cha Jinzhi to the two of them, and said to Cha Jin: "Calling Lord Tea over is because General Zou Qi killed prisoners of war three years ago, in that massacre, why did Lord Cha save Princess Guyu who should have been executed?" ”

Cha Jinzhi glanced at Yin Xun, with some scruples in his expression.

Lu Kang hurriedly said: "This is the Nine Princes." ”

Cha Jin was shocked, and then he realized that he only remembered seeing him beside the prince of Jinnan, but he didn't expect that he was actually the ninth prince! And looking at the way he gets along with Bai Junzhuo, he is clearly a gentleman, how can he be the ninth prince of the rich country?

Bai Junzhuo stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, and said, "Master Cha, you have returned to your soul, even if he is the Ninth Prince, he will not eat you." ”

Cha Jinzhi came back to his senses and answered Lu Kang's question just now: "I saved Princess Guyu because I was entrusted by the four princes. ”

"Sure enough." Yin Xun whispered, and then asked, "You saved Zou Qi and was also entrusted by him?" ”

Cha Jinzhi nodded: "The fourth prince told me at the time that although General Zou was brave but not brutal, it was impossible to order the killing of prisoners of war. But the evidence is sufficient, and it is impossible for the fourth prince to save all the people in the Zou family, so I asked me to find a death row prisoner to replace General Zou, so that I can find out the real black hand who framed General Zou in the future. But after General Zou was killed, the fourth prince was squeezed out by some forces in the court, stayed far away, and did not return for three years, and could not find the murderer. ”

"Didn't you tell General Zou about these things that the fourth prince asked you to do?" Lu Kang asked.

"Nope." Cha Jinzhi shook his head.

"Then go ahead and talk about it." Yin Xun said, "Go and explain it to him clearly, lest Zou Qi feel that my Yin family is persecuting him, or trapping the four emperor brothers in injustice." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Kang stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Master Cha, I will take you to see General Zou here." ”

The two left, Bai Junzhuo thought thoughtfully for a while, and then looked up and asked him for a long time: "Grandma hates your surname Yin, is it because of this incident?" ”

"Who knows." Yin Xun said indifferently, "Although the Yin family is a royal family, and the government is close to foreign relatives, they have been trembling on thin ice for so many years, and they are still inevitably framed." ”

"There are some people who do bad things, and they will say that your Yin family did it, right?"

Yin Xun nodded.

Bai Junzhuo suddenly felt that he was so pitiful, he was born in the emperor's family, and he had to be persecuted like this for no reason.

"Feel sorry for me?" Yin Xun touched her face, "Then help me, don't let me bear all this alone." ”

Bai Junzhuo hesitated for a while and muttered, "But grandma hates you so much, she doesn't allow me to see you." If you want your grandmother not to hate you, you have to find out who framed the fourth prince back then. ”

Yin Xun smiled slightly, and gently hugged Bai Junzhuo: "Come with me to Chang'an to investigate the case?" ”

"But grandma said ......"

"Is it that if you come back in vain, the Zou family will let you go?"

Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment: "It's possible." ”

"Bai Xu's condition for coming back is that we find Princess Guyu, and Princess Guyu is not married, and she is still willing to be with him?"

Bai Junzhuo nodded: "That's right." ”

"If we find the real culprit who killed tens of thousands of prisoners of war in the ancient fish country, and the ancient fish princess puts down the stone in her heart, she will no longer have any scruples and be with Bai Xu, right?"

"Hmm...... Right. ”

"So, after going around in a circle, I still have to go to Chang'an to find out the truth."

Bai Junzhuo was stunned, as if the logic was strict, there was nothing wrong.

So, go to Chang'an, right?

She was struggling, and suddenly saw that Lu Kang, who had left just now, turned back again, and the fox smile that had always hung on his face disappeared completely, and it was the first time Bai Junzhuo had seen him show such an anxious expression.

He held a letter in his hand and said solemnly to Yin Xun: "Master, Chang'an is in danger, we must go back immediately!" ”
