At the main entrance of the Imperial Tower, the man wrapped in a straw mat was ruthlessly still on the ground.

"Is it confirmed? Is that the guard who first complained? Luo Qingzhi asked.

Applejack said, "Yes." ”

Luo Qingzhi was a little helpless, and ordered: "Find a guy to do an autopsy." ”

"Yes."

After returning again in vain, Luo Qingzhi returned to her mansion, it was already past lunch time, and the maidservant came to ask if she wanted to pass the meal. Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "No, let's go down first." ”

After a while, Luo Chen knocked on the door of the study.

"Master."

"What? Need to tell me? Luo Qingzhi asked.

Luo Chen said: "I already brought Xin'er to the second son last night. ”

"Got it." Luo Qingzhi nodded.

Seeing that Luo Chen hadn't left yet, she asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Master, do you have a disagreement with the master of the country's eunuch?" Luo Chen asked.

Luo Qingzhi chuckled, "I haven't even entered the gate of the Guozijian, where is the suspicion." ”

"But." Luo Chen recalled the situation last night and said, "I think that Lord Siye seems to dislike you very much, so I don't even like the second son." ”

"Is he embarrassed?" Luo Qingzhi immediately asked.

Luo Chen shook his head, "That's not it." ”

"That's fine," Luo Qingzhi said, adding very self-consciously: "In the whole of Jinling, there are not many people who like me. ”

"Do you need me to bring any letter to the second son tonight?" Luo Chen asked.

"No, you don't." Luo Qingzhi shook her head, and then said, "Let him find a way to find those prisoners first, something is not right." ”

"Yes."

The time had come, and Gao Zhen came to the plum tree again, this time, Luo Chen came earlier, and had been waiting for a while.

"How did you come so early tonight?" Gao Zhen asked.

Luo Chen observed the movement behind Gao Zhen, and after making sure that it was correct, he replied, "There is nothing to do tonight, so I came early." ”

"How? Have you found those prisoners? Luo Chen asked.

"Not yet," Gao Zhen said, frowning unconsciously, "Si Ye doesn't let everyone talk about this matter, I can't find out the news, during the day, I also looked for some places, but there is no news." ”

"Do you need me to come in and help you?" Luo Chen asked.

Gao Zhen was about to nod, but shook his head again, "No need, I can handle it." ”

“...... That's okay, childe, be careful. Luo Chen was reluctant to be reluctant, and was ready to leave after speaking.

"Eh, that, how is Arlo?" Gao Zhen asked.

Luo Chen didn't think about it and replied directly: "It's good, she will come to the Guozijian the day after tomorrow, and when the time comes, you can see her." ”

Gao Zhen smiled happily, "Okay." ”

Luo Chen left, but Gao Zhen did not choose to return to the dormitory, he saw that there were not many people along the way, and thought about taking this opportunity to look for it again.

He thought about the route, "The east courtyard is the dormitory for students, the west courtyard is a wasteland, the north courtyard is the teaching house, and the south courtyard is the accommodation for doctors. ”

With a decision, he searched for the direction in his memory and went to the South Courtyard.

The South Courtyard is the residence of Dr. Guozijian, one person and one house, which is very personal.

Gao Zhen quietly entered the south courtyard, as quiet as he imagined, obviously it was not yet time to fall asleep, but it seemed that he had automatically entered the rest mode, and the whole courtyard was quiet and almost scary.

The name of the occupant is hung on the door number, and the first room on the east side is Siye's room, Gao Zhen thought about it, or chose to come to the window and listen to the movement.

After listening to half a cup of tea, there was no sound in the room at all, and Gao Zhen was about to give up, when he heard the sound of moving heavy objects, and stopped to listen.

"Xia's case has been handed over to the county lord of Anning to investigate."

Gao Zhen hadn't heard this person's voice, and was guessing that Si Ye's voice came.

"No matter who investigates this case, in short, Xia Ji's crime is a certainty, it is difficult to do it, the county lord of Anning still dares to show favoritism."

The man said: "I found out some news, this Xia aunt and the mother of the county lord of Anning are close friends. ”

Qi Zhen said: "Then I will report this matter to Lord Sacrificial Wine." ”

Gao Zhen thought, "Report to Lord Sacrificial Wine, then, the other person is not Lord Sacrificial Wine, so who will it be?" ”

Qi Zhen continued: "It's not early, you go back first, I will take good care of those prisoners, and I won't let them talk nonsense in front of Lord Anning." ”

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

After the man finished speaking, Gao Zhen heard the sound of the door opening, and he peeked from the corner of the wall, only to see a figure wearing a cloak.

Gao Zhen hesitated, he analyzed, "Judging from the conversation just now, Si Ye must know the whereabouts of those students, but the identity of that man is also worth exploring. ”

After hesitating for a while, when he looked over again, he could no longer see the man's figure, and suddenly, he no longer hesitated and chose to check Siye first.

He pondered for a while, listening to the sound of the palm lamp inside, but he couldn't get in at this time, thinking that he would sneak over to check it when class was going to be tomorrow.

Gao Zhen slowed down his breathing, leaned over his body, slowly moved to the shadow area, observed the surroundings, and then walked out of the south courtyard.

After returning to the dormitory, Gao Zhen let go of the tied Zhou Jin, and then he took down the towel in his mouth himself.

"Ah Zhen, what are you doing? Why are you tying me up. Zhou Jin asked.

Gao Zhen didn't want to explain, so he turned over to bed, covered himself with the quilt, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep.

Zhou Jin could naturally see Gao Zhen's dislike for him, he thought that Gao Zhen was angry about what happened ten years ago.

He rubbed his wrist that was tied, thought for a while, exhaled deeply, walked towards Gao Zhen, and just took a few steps, Gao Zhen said sharply: "Stop." ”

Zhou Jin retracted his steps, stood at the end of Gao Zhen's bed, sighed, and said with an apologetic tone: "Back then, I was just a child, and I had no way to control those things. ”

Gao Zhen didn't react at all.

Zhou Jin continued: "I'm cowardly, I'm cowardly, the queen asked me to beat you, I don't dare to disobey." ”

Hearing this, Gao Zhen's fingers curled slightly, and finally reacted, but he still didn't speak.

"Ah Zhen, I'm sorry, I really didn't know you would encounter something like that later......"

"Shut up!" Gao Zhen finally spoke up, "I said, you recognized the wrong person, don't say something inexplicable to me again." ”

Zhou Jin paused for a while and said, "You don't admit that it's Ah Zhen, why don't you dare to listen to me." ”

Gao Zhen sneered, half-sat up, looked at him, and said, "Okay, then you say, I'll listen, and after saying this time, don't say it again." ”

Seeing Gao Zhen so calm, Zhou Jin was a little panicked, "You, you're really not him?" He wouldn't let anyone talk about it, he wouldn't dare. ”

Maybe it was the sudden collapse of faith, Zhou Jin muttered to himself, and kept reading: "He doesn't dare, he doesn't dare." Step by step, he tripped up the steps, fell to the ground, got up in embarrassment, turned and ran out of the room.

Gao Zhen closed his eyes, lay down on the bed violently, and silently thought, "It's all over, it's all over, I have Alo......"

Just after the hour, Luo Qingzhi came to the Yushitai again, referring to the records on the file, according to the footsteps of the guards that night, entered from the main gate, walked through the second gate, and came to the west courtyard, and it was dark in front of him.

"There is no lamp in the house, how can he determine that there is a lecture inside?" Luo Qingzhi muttered to herself.

Luo Qingzhi walked around in place, calculating, "He didn't find it on the night of the Lantern Festival, he found it before, and deliberately sued on the night of the Lantern Festival, but why?" Because the next day was only opened for copying? Or what? ”

In the silence of the night, there was the sound of footsteps behind him, and his steps were steady, and he did not stop when he stepped on the dead branches.

Luo Qingzhi turned her head slightly, "Uncle? ”

Baili Han approached with a lantern, "It's so late, what are you doing here?" ”

Luo Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the scene, and said, "Let's take a look and rehearse the situation that night." ”

"Is there any progress?" Baili Han asked.

"Nope." Luo Qingzhi sighed and said, "Lord Xia admitted on the spot, many people have heard it, but it is actually an iron case. ”

"Then why did you come late at night?" Baili Han asked.

Luo Qingzhi thought for a while and said, "I just don't feel at ease, it's a little too smooth." ”

"When did Your Majesty tell you to close the case?"

"I didn't say it." Luo Qingzhi replied, thinking of Ajie's words during the day, she asked, "Uncle, you were originally on duty on the day of the Lantern Festival, right?" ”

"Yes." Baili Han nodded, explained, and said, "That's not, because you suddenly sent a message, so I can only write an excerpt overnight, and let Lord Xia help me stay on duty." ”

Luo Qingzhi lowered her head and thought, "No one will know in advance that I will send a message to my uncle, so this matter may really be just an accident......

"Qingqing—Qingqing!"

shouted several times in succession before Luo Qingzhi agreed, "What's the matter, uncle." ”

Baili Han exhaled and said, "Don't think about it, you can judge how you want, okay." ”

Luo Qingzhi was puzzled and asked, "This Lord Xia has also worked with you for a year, why don't you want to intercede for him or anything." ”

Baili Han said sharply, "He is the person who should not make this mistake the most." ”

In Luo Qingzhi's impression, he had almost never seen Bai Lihan say anyone so harshly, he was a little surprised, and wanted to ask, but Bai Lihan took the initiative to explain.

"He clearly knows what this matter means, as a rare noble son from a poor family in the past ten years, he has also learned from those family styles, one wrong step, one wrong step, he should reflect."

Luo Qingzhi asked, "Uncle takes a fancy to him?" ”

After hesitating for a while, Bai Lihan nodded, "He has great ambitions, he is talented but he is never arrogant, although he is not human, but he adheres to justice, which is the ...... of a doctor."

Baili Han calmed down for a while, and continued: "Qingqing, the dispute between the family and the Hanmen must be resolved by people like him, the more pure ministers like him, the more they will influence each other, and at that time, the so-called struggle for power and resources will be transformed into a struggle for literary talents, so that the dynasty will get better and better." ”

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Qingqing understands, uncle, there are still many doubts in this matter, you and I don't have to make up our minds first, in this way, it is unfair to Master Xia and the poor students who study hard." ”
