Seeing Zhang Lian coming back, Cheng Runnian was a little surprised: "Come back so soon?" ”

Zhang Lian gasped and said, "It's just that someone happened to take out the construction drawings to study, and there was no delay in going back and forth. ”

"It's hard work, father-in-law." Cheng Runnian said, jumping down from the lotus platform, and then took the construction drawings.

After only one glance, his face changed suddenly.

"Why are there only four load-bearing columns on this construction drawing? But the load-bearing pillars on this lotus platform are clearly six. ”

Zhang Lian gasped and said disapprerovingly: "The construction drawings are just drafts, and when it comes to construction, there will generally be such and such adjustments, which is not unusual." ”

"Is that so?" Cheng Runnian muttered, pressed it for the time being, and began to carefully check this construction drawing.

At the same time, my mind sank into my mind and tried to recall, and soon all kinds of architectural knowledge poured into my mind, and compared with the construction drawings in front of me one by one.

After verification, Cheng Runnian's face sank.

This construction drawing is by no means as simple as Zhang Lian said, it is a draft, every detail on it is just right, and even the design of some places, from the perspective of modern people, can be called exquisite.

And the data marked on it, Cheng Runnian's own mental arithmetic has been verified once, and none of them are wrong.

With such detailed construction drawings, it is said that only the above needs to be done, and there is basically no possibility of temporary changes.

In this case, the two extra pillars seem more and more suspicious.

Cheng Runnian vaguely felt that he had grasped the key to the matter, but after thinking about it carefully, could these two pillars be added by Cheng Runnian? After all, he's the one in charge.

After thinking about it, Cheng Runnian asked, "Can I go to the prison?" ”

Zhang Lian didn't know why, but replied honestly: "Your Excellency holds His Majesty's jade plate, naturally you can." ”

"That's good." Cheng Runnian rolled up the construction drawings and said, "Then go to the prison and trouble my father-in-law." ”

Zhang Lian's face was bitter, and he just gasped for breath when he ran over.

However, he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only grit his teeth and insist.

The two of them hurried to the prison again, and as soon as they entered, they were greeted by a familiar stench, all kinds of feces and urine mixed with the smell of dried blood, and they almost wanted to vomit out all the overnight food.

It's just that he can't care so much now, Cheng Runnian went directly to the cell where Zhou Qi's father and son were held.

"Mr. Zhou!" Through the wooden fence, I saw the father and son huddled in the thatch in the corner, with an indescribable miserable smell.

When Zhou Qi heard the voice, he couldn't help but look up, and when he saw that it was Cheng Runnian, he immediately got up.

"Little friend, why are you back? Could it be that he failed to save the little princess and was sent back to prison? ”

Anyway, Zhou Qi is not bad, but this meeting is actually worrying about Cheng Runnian, which makes him feel a little moved.

"Mr. Zhou thought wrong, I came here because ......"

Speaking of this, Cheng Runnian suddenly stopped, and then moved his gaze to Zhang Lian next to him.

Zhang Lian suddenly understood and said, "My lord, the slave and maid are waiting outside, and you only need to call if you have something." ”

After that, Zhang Lian left very simply.

After he left, Cheng Runnian said: "I'm worried about Mr. Zhou, I have cured the princess's illness." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Qi's eyes suddenly became wet and relieved.

"God bless the little princess, if something really happens to the little princess, how will I meet the ancestor after I go down."

Wiping away a handful of tears, Zhou Qi said again: "Since the little princess has been cured, then Your Majesty should pardon Xiaoyou, why did Xiaoyou return to the prison?" ”

"Naturally, it's to save you." Cheng Runnian said, his tone was somewhat resentful.

In this matter, he was actually forced by the emperor, but since he has entered the game, he naturally says something nice, and it is good to get closer to Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi didn't know why, and wondered: "Save me?" ”

As he spoke, he became self-mournful again: "Back then, thanks to His Majesty's appreciation, he was able to use the glory and wealth, but the old decay almost killed the little princess and the queen mother, and he knew that he was guilty. Xiaoyou should leave quickly, so as not to burn yourself! ”

It can be seen that Zhou Qi is very guilty and already has a will to die.

The corners of Cheng Runnian's mouth twitched slightly, and his heart said Can I go now? However, he caught up and said: "Mr. Zhou doesn't need to say much, Mr. Zhou and I hit it off at first sight, and we should help you." ”

"If you're polite, I'll leave it for later, I have an important question that needs to be answered by Mr. Zhou."

As he spoke, Cheng Runnian took out the construction drawings and handed them over, and then asked, "Mr. Zhou, do you know this drawing?" ”

Zhou Qi just glanced twice, and said: "Naturally, I know that this picture is painted by Lao Yu, this matter is important, this picture has been modified no less than thirty times, and this is the final result." ”

"Then why did you add two more load-bearing columns after that?" Cheng Runnian asked.

After all, in his opinion, Zhou Qi, as the person in charge, also personally supervised the work, this kind of thing must be known.

The biggest situation is nothing more than the verbal inducement of others, and if you find this person, even if you find a key clue.

It's just that when Zhou Qi heard this, he looked puzzled and asked, "Why add two more load-bearing columns?" ”

Cheng Runnian was stunned for a moment, pointed to the load-bearing pillar on the picture, and said: "The load-bearing pillars on the lotus seat are not four on the picture, but six, don't you know?" ”

Zhou Qi's face gradually became ugly, and he said slowly: "The load-bearing pillar is to bear the weight of the head of the Guanyin statue, so it was only buried when the head was installed at the end, but that day ...... I'm not there. ”

Cheng Runnian's breathing gradually became short, and he was not there when he buried the load-bearing column? Where is there such a coincidence, I really found the key!

"What's the matter?" Cheng Runnian hurriedly asked.

"It was the king of Zhenbei who came to me for a drink, and I didn't dare to refuse, so I could only agree, so I didn't go over to supervise."

"You have a grudge against the king of Zhenbei?"

"How could it be...... It's just that I am responsible for the repair of the city wall every year, so I am familiar with the king of Zhenbei, the queen mother's birthday, and the king of Zhenbei returned to Beijing to celebrate, and I felt bored before I came to drink alcohol. ”

Cheng Runnian realized that it was estimated that the person behind it had premeditated, and he just took advantage of this opportunity.

Of course, Zhenbei Wang Ren has suspicions, but this is no longer the level he can suspect, so he just needs to tell the truth at that time.

If it is to pull the king of Zhenbei, maybe ......

It seems that the king of Zhenbei must be responsible, if he doesn't pull Zhou Qi to drink, there will be no more two pillars, and the Guanyin statue will not appear after it collapses.

The responsibility for this matter, if Zhou Qi is only responsible for it, then there is really only one death, but if you add a king of Zhenbei......

In the memory of the original body, there is also about the king of Zhenbei, which is the emperor's own brother, who dares to let the emperor's own brother go to apologize for his crime with death?

In this way, Zhou Qi's fate was saved.
