Luo Chuan finally looked at Chen Qiusheng and asked, "My lord, Yu Chengyue is cautious, and all the secret letters that have passed the purpose will be burned, and you can't find him." Even if he went to Chongdu, Dasikong Pang Boyi would also try his best to protect him. If you want to investigate the murder of the flower boat, you can only start with Ma Fu, he has been loyal to Cheng Yue for many years, and the secret letters are reported by him, the eldest lady in his family is from a scholarly family, and she is especially good at copying handwriting, and he has a copy of the secret letters, and what the adults want is all in Ma Fu's house. ”

The truth that Chen Qiusheng wants has been pointed out by Luo Chuan.

Chen Qiusheng shook his head, turned around and left without saying a word, and before leaving, he coughed a few more times, and the palm that covered his mouth was full of blood stains.

His hidden illness has been committed again.

"Your Excellency." Luo Chuan shouted behind Chen Qiusheng, "If you continue to investigate, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Chen Qiusheng didn't look back, he raised his tired eyes and looked ahead, the lonely road was dim, and after a few steps, he would step into the darkness.

He threw down his robe, put his hands behind his back, and raised his head without hesitation.

Into the darkness.

"Luo Chuan, you are a good person." Twilight clapped his hand before leaving, "Thank you." ”

Luo Chuan's parents were stranded for a long time, and it was not until late at night that they were taken out of the prison by the jailers.

Luo Chuan stared blankly ahead in the middle of the night, the mud walls of the southern sky damp after nightfall, the dew sliding down the uneven walls, and the moonlight shone on a glimmer of brilliance.

The wind whistled in, and the prisoners clung to the straw to keep warm.

But Luo Chuan didn't feel cold, the warmth he felt was from the heart.

"What about the kid?"

There was a shocking question from the cell in front of him, and this familiar voice suddenly made Luo Chuan feel cold, and he trembled inexplicably.

From the cell in front of him, there was the soft trembling of chains, and the pace of approaching.

A pair of hands grasped the wooden pillar, and his face seemed to emerge from the blurred water, and between the gaps between the wooden pillars, those eyes were thinner and colder than the cold night.

Staring at Luo Chuan.

"I'm asking you about the baby on the boat." The exhaled breath condensed a mist in the air, "Is he dead?" ”

Luo Chuan's eyes gradually widened, and he looked at him in horror, this man in shackles and in a deplorable prison clothes.

Yu Chengyue.

"He and Le Wushuang are on the flower boat." Luo Chuan retreated and arched his shoulders, "I didn't escape." ”

"Twilight escaped." Yu Chengyue said urgently, "How do you know if Le Wushuang has escaped?" ”

"The boat floated down the river." Luo Chuan curled up in the shadows, not daring to look at Yu Chengyue, "Twilight Cloud also said that Le Wushuang is dead, and that child must be dead." ”

Yu Chengyue looked up at the leaky tile overhead, stared at the moonlight that came through, and said.

"I hope so."

……

Jiang Zimo's family all lived in the Dongyuan wing, and Yanzhou was flooded year after year, so he opened a granary for disaster relief, and emptied the treasury to gather foreign craftsmen to build dams and canals.

If you want to say that within Kyushu, the planning of canal passages and houses, Yanshu is the best.

Today, the dam stands tall and tall, like a giant with outstretched arms, facing the sea and encircling half of Yanzhou.

Chen Qiusheng finished dealing with the things in his hands and strolled through the huge courtyard, where he lived for a few days, and he did not notice the loneliness of this state pastoral mansion between his busyness, and the quiet silence made him relax, and he also noticed some subtle phenomena.

Servants, maids, family members, and the heirs of the Jiang clan are rare, and it seems that he is the only one in this house.

Since Jiang Zimo was imprisoned, his eldest wife dismissed most of the subordinates in the mansion, and his relatives also returned to their ancestral land in Yanzhou.

This action is very cautious, and a discerning person can see at a glance the reason why the eldest lady did this.

Before Jiang Zimo was tried, she made a complete decision to implicate the Jiang family, and she was leaving the last lifeblood for the Jiang family.

From the moment Jiang Zimo walked into prison, he was given up by the eldest lady, who was guarding this family, leaving the last incense and residual possibilities for the Jiang family.

With such a long-term insight, it is difficult to ignore, and there are many details that Chen Qiusheng needs to be vigilant about. But now, Jiang, he can only put it aside for the time being.

Alone, he breathed calmly, calmed down, and began to sort out his thoughts.

In the letter case, Yu Chengyue ordered Ma Fu to assassinate Jiang Lin, and pretended to deliver a letter from Luo Chuan, in order to pull down Jiang Zimo, and the great Sikong Pang Boyi seized Yanzhou in order to build a port and open up trade routes.

Chen Qiusheng stopped to look at the green bamboo in the corner of the courtyard, the lofty branches and leaves obscured the moonlight, and he looked at the gap, trying to peek at the whole picture of the moon.

But the moonlight was half-obscured, and he didn't seem to be able to see the sky clearly, nor could he see the turbid situation clearly.

In the flower boat case, the Zhao concubine was buried in the fire, and the whereabouts of the three princes, King Qi and the fourth princess, are unknown. The pastor of the eight states died, the eight states had no owners, Pang Boyi played, and selected eight officials from Shangshutai to send them to the eight states, he clearly remembered that those eight people were all children of the family.

Chen Qiusheng held his neck high for a long time.

He felt sore and sat on a stone bench next to the bamboo, the stone table was carved out of a chessboard, and the stone vessel was full of sunspots.

He let go of his slender fingers and stared at the chess pieces in a dull contemplation.

This step, Pang Boyi has long been ready.

So what's next......

Next......

Knocking on the chess pieces, the moonlight is like a candle, gradually illuminating the chessboard.

Black and white chess pieces, and only one black disc in a blank chess game.

Chen Qiusheng suddenly and quickly played seven chess pieces in a row, all of which wrapped in all directions, and then landed in the Tianyuan position with white chess, guarding the center, and then dropped a white and a black piece on his left and right respectively.

The sky is round.

The black represents Pang Boyi, the white represents the Taiwei, and there is one.

Szeto Gong...... Tang Jiankai ......

Chen Qiusheng's hand hesitated between choosing black and white.

Is he black or white?

After a while, he left the black chess piece representing Situ idle on the edge of the chess game, and then poked into the stone vessel to take out the chess pieces, and united the current situation according to the map of Zheng Guo in his mind.

Chess was played.

There are few white seeds, but black seeds are almost all around.

He paused up and down, muttering silently.

Jiao family, queen, Taiwei, Dasikong, Jin king, Qin king, emperor......

After half an hour of hard work, his hand holding the black chess piece trembled more and more, and he couldn't fall anymore.

The chessboard is densely packed with black pieces surrounding white pieces, and this is no end game.

It's a dead end.

The situation has been formed, and Pang Boyi covers the sky with one hand.

Chen Qiusheng stared at the chess game and said in a dumb voice: "Zheng Guo ......"

Zheng Guo is so angry at this point.

The sweat on Chen Qiusheng's forehead fell down his neck, and he slid down his throat, sweat soaked the placket of his clothes, and his hands clenched his sleeve robe.

"Big brother." Chen Jinqiu was dressed in green bat civilian clothes and stood in front of the corridor, "The body of the second brother has been properly placed, the coffin of the gold thread, the second brother loved the golden suit when he was alive, and there is no ambiguity at all." ”

"You're doing a great job." Chen Qiusheng raised his sleeves and wiped away the fine beads of sweat, "You're going to be on the road soon, don't be too careful, put your mind on the escort, and don't let anything go wrong." ”

"Whoa." Chen Jinqiu replied and looked closely, and couldn't help but feel curious, "Big brother rarely played chess when he was studying, how could he have the leisure to play chess today?" ”

His words were mixed with a faint dissatisfaction, Chen's three heroes went to Yanzhou, Chen Pinggang died, except for the night he was killed, Chen Qiusheng never even went to Shanzhuang once.

Chen Pinggang's body had decomposed and oozing blue, and Chen Jinqiu had cried in Shanzhuang, but he didn't dare to tell Chen Qiusheng.

Chen Jinqiu knew Chen Qiusheng's personality and knew that he didn't care, after all, it was his brother whose blood was thicker than water, and he was just too upright.

Integrity makes people feel indifferent.

"This is Zheng Guo." Chen Qiusheng insisted on the black chess and knocked on the stone table, "All of them are the forces of the Great Sikong, openly and secretly, the general trend of Kyushu has been achieved." ”

"Playing chess, big brother, forgive the little brother's foolish opinion, the big brother's vision is too high, all of them are officials." Chen Jinqiu broke the embarrassment and smiled, and then discussed chess with his own knowledge, "If you take the world as a chessboard, then everyone is a chess piece." ”

Chen Jinqiu sat down, took out the white chess pieces from the stone vessel, and wrapped all the surroundings of the Tianyuan position.

Chen Qiusheng looked at the white chess pieces and said hesitantly: "What does the third brother mean, the forbidden army in the west of the city?" ”

"This is the army established by the Great Sikong Shangsu, but the Peng lord who allocated the salary for it is subordinate to the Taiwei Dong Cao Peng, Jin Cao." When Chen Jinqiu spoke, he fell again, "The drills, military salaries, and generals are all advocated by the Taiwei Mansion, and besides, this army is directly under the forbidden army, and without the tiger talisman given by the saint, no one can be transferred, and neither can the big sikong." ”

The light sound of the chess pieces is accompanied by the ethereal sound of bamboo leaves, and the ensemble is a calming song.

"In the imperial city, the forbidden army in the west of the city is a real force." Chen Qiusheng bowed his head, and immediately pointed to the black chess on the periphery of the white chess, "But above the court, all the officials of Shangshutai are Pang Boyi's henchmen. ”

"In the text, Pan Boyi has been laid out for many years, coupled with his high power, and the famous families are all applauded by it. Even when his father was alive, he often said in private that Pang Boyi was wise and eloquent. "Chen Jinqiu is not in Luozi, "Except for the military master, although Shangshutai has hundreds of officials, but the military attachés are all in charge of the captain, and Pang Boyi's hand can't touch the step of military power, unless it is ......"

Chen Jinqiu didn't continue, just looked at Chen Qiusheng with a gloomy expression.

Chen Qiusheng wore this official uniform for a day and a night, he did not change his clothes, and during this day he tried the case and ran to the cell for interrogation.

Chong has never seen him, but everyone has heard of his name.

Living Yama.

Ruthless, cold, cruel, and crazy, everyone spits on him behind his back, but those who know him well know that Chen Qiusheng enforces the law fairly and strictly, and his law hides an almost imperceptible human touch.

Chen Qiusheng always has a bowl of water and makes fairness to the extreme, Chen Jinqiu also secretly laughs at him, who can be fair and just in this world?

No one, even if he is Chen Qiusheng, can't.

So Chen Jinqiu didn't dare to continue to say this, the military power pursued by Pang Boyi was not allowed in Zheng Guo's law.

Literature does not involve force, and force does not interfere in politics.

Since the reign of the founding emperor of Zheng State, the law was revised to rule the world peacefully. This is the ancestral system, no one can overstep it, Pang Boyi dares to get involved in military power, that is the crime of treason.

Unless......

"Unless the law is changed." Chen Qiusheng said calmly, "And I am the key to him revising Zheng Guo's law." ”

The Chen family is a big family of Zheng Guo, and since the founding of the country, they have advocated Zheng Guo to set the law and change the law. For generations, the revision and formulation of the laws of Zheng Guo have left the pen and ink of the Chen family.

If Zheng Guo wants to change the law, he can only do it through Chen. However, the trial of the letter case sent Tingwei Zheng, Zuo, and Right at the same time, and the same was true for the three supervisors.

Chen Qiusheng understood that Pang Boyi had already moved the idea of removing the Chen family and replacing the Tingwei candidate. Only then will he be able to make a law that satisfies his heart.

for his use.
