Chapter 20: The Guilty Qi Muli
In order to make sure that the little follower just now was telling the truth, Ji Zhun first asked, "What are you talking about in the alley today?" ”
"I'm afraid that the change of guard will be revealed, so I arranged for a few more of our people to come in."
"Who are the so-called you people in the Ministry of Soldiers and Horses at present?"
"I only know a few people, the four who are currently guarding the door, the laxative is made by Princess Lin'an, I never thought that I would be defeated because of a princess. There are also four people, Xu Qizhi, Fan Feng, Ye Tianhe, and Liang Yongen. ”
Ji Zhun nodded, looked at Fu Nanxuan, and said softly: "I said hello, it is the same as what he said." ”
Fu Nanwan thought about the recent events, looked at the deputy guard captain with an expressionless face, and asked indifferently: "Who do you know who are the people who are preparing to rebel with you?" Captain Zhengwei, or Governor Fanggudu, aren't they? ”
He closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Captain Zhengwei, hehe, there is an elm head, but it was used by me, as for Fang Gu, I don't know, but isn't Governor Fang Gu the husband of Princess Lin'an?" Princess Lin'an was suspicious of him. ”
It's gossip, Fu Nanwan didn't answer this question, and asked rhetorically: "Then who are you usually contacting?" What's going on with those notes in your study? ”
"I was first contacted by a man dressed in black, wearing a big cloak, but from his words, I could tell that he was just a guard, not really a person behind the scenes. I never saw him again, he always slept and would show up in my study the next day, I never passed to him, but he would know whatever I did. ”
Fu Nanwan was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that the person behind the other party would be so powerful, sneaking into someone else's study quietly, and knowing the big and small things in the army, his strength is so terrifying, the road will be difficult to walk in the future.
Ji Zhun thought for a while and interjected, "In addition to this matter, what else do you know?" ”
"I'm in charge of the soldiers and horses, but I don't have full powers, so there aren't many things I can do, now I only know that there are some of his people in the patrol army in the city, and a few in the palace but I don't know, but I don't know anything else."
"Then do you know who is behind the scenes?" Fu Nanwan asked suspiciously.
"All I know is that he's not from the court."
is not a person in the court, but who can have such great ability, be associated with many official eunuchs, and can also quietly enter her Yunhe Palace?
That's right! Thinking of Yunhe Palace, Fu Nanjuan asked again, "Do you know what will happen in five and a half months?" ”
The deputy guard shook his head, what he knew had been said completely, and there was nothing more to say, but thinking of his family, he instructed again, "I implore the princess to keep her promise and send them out of Shangjing to live a peaceful and stable life in another place." ”
"I knew why I had to do it today, I would." Fu Nanwan nodded.
In the next moment, Ji Zhun covered her eyes, and a sound piercing the air came, and when he took his hand, the deputy guard lieutenant was already dead.
"Brother Ji Zhun don't worry about me, I've seen this scene before." Fu Nanwan pointed to the two places where the torture was used.
Ji Zhun smiled helplessly, and said softly: "Wanwan's courage is so big, I didn't expect that not only can I find bad guys, but also judge bad guys." ”
Fu Nanwan smiled slightly, and talked about other things, "Brother Ji Zhun might as well tell his father that he pretended to punish his family and was assigned to the frontier, but let a reliable official send them to Jiangnan, after all, he also promised him." ”
"Okay."
Back in Yunhe Palace, Yu Lanxi and Fu Nanjuan drank tea and chatted, chatting and talking, chatting from noon to dinner.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Shi Zhu was a little anxious, today's matter must be reported to the master in time, but in the palace, it is not like being free in the Governor's Mansion, what should I do.
Suddenly, he remembered the seven-leaf needle, he hurriedly ran to Fu Nanjuan, and said respectfully: "Princess Sheng'an." ”
"What?"
"On that day, the princess ordered someone to find someone to make three hundred seven-leaf needles, and today is the day of delivery."
"Then you go and get it back."
"Yes."
Getting the opportunity, Shi Zhu began to run outside the palace openly, and after confirming that no one was following him, he used the method he used last time to enter the courtyard.
It's just that when he saw the master's appearance, Shi Zhu touched his nose and didn't dare to speak.
Qi Muli was sitting at the table with his head pestled at this time, but according to Shi Yan, the book hadn't turned the pages for a long time.
He frowned, his eyes were not indifferent, but obviously irritable and depressed, his face was also dark, and the air pressure around his body was even lower, making people dare not approach.
Shi Zhu quietly withdrew one foot that had stepped forward, and asked Shi Yan, who had never dared to enter the house, in a low voice, "Master, what's wrong?" It's rare to see him like that. ”
On weekdays, he is very strict and fierce a lot, and the three of them are used to it, but there are very few times when he is low and depressed like this, and he is even more ruthless when he is angry than when he is angry, he is clear and ruthless when he is angry, and he is ruthless when he is depressed.
Shi Yan didn't dare to speak loudly, she leaned on Shi Zhu's ear and whispered: "Today outside the city, the master saw Princess Lin'an die and didn't save her, but later when we were chased and killed by Qin Xue's people, she stepped forward to save the master regardless of the danger, and without her master, she was hit by two swords, probably the master was guilty or something?" I didn't eat or speak for a day. ”
Hearing these words, Shi Zhu was surprised and suspicious, and also whispered: "The master will feel guilty because of this kind of thing? ”
"I can't guess exactly what the mood is, but it's definitely because of it."
"Then I'm going to tell you about it."
"About what?"
"Pro...... Princess Lin'an. ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a low roar from inside the room: "Get in!" ”
The two glanced at each other, as if they had been heard by their parents by secretly speaking ill things, and shrunk their necks with a look of horror.
"Caryophyllus!"
Hearing the second order, Shi Zhu hurriedly rolled in and said timidly, "Lord...... Master. ”
Qi Muli looked at Shi Zhu coldly, looking like a living person should not be approached, and when he saw Shi Zhu calling the master, he stopped talking, and he spit out a word hatefully, "Say!" ”
"Today...... Today...... The deputy guard captain of the Ministry of Soldiers and Horses was taken to the dungeon in the palace, and the princess and Prime Minister Ji allowed the two of them to go to the trial in person, and when they came back, they saw her face relaxed, so I guess maybe the deputy guard captain said it. ”
Qi Muli didn't speak or move, Shi Zhu stood in front and kept secretly looking at him, waiting for a long, long time, he finally spoke, but what he said made them scratch their heads.
