In the long passage, Zhou Zhi walked forward calmly.

After many years of secret meetings, everyone complained to each other about the unfairness of the court, and at the same time carefully took out the information and leaked it to several people, in exchange for their seemingly casual but information-filled small talk, and a variety of other things in the same way.

This is the meeting place of several of them, but it is not limited to a few of them.

In this way, they can help each other and support each other in the DPRK and the central government, without the knowledge of others, and walk together to the most core positions of the center.

Zhou Zhi knew in his heart that there were many secret meetings like this in Chang'an, but I am afraid that there were very few who could go to the end.

After all, in the middle, one person's betrayal is likely to make everyone else suspicious of their peers.

At the end of the passage, a wooden wall was blocked in front of him, Zhou Zhi stretched out his hand and pressed it on the side, and the next moment, the wooden wall had automatically slid to the side.

Silent.

The dim light fell into Zhou Zhi's eyes, and Zhou Zhi stepped in, and in front of him was a beautiful screen of the ladies of the four seasons.

Light gauze and green pine, the scene of the four seasons, and the wonderful dancing posture make people can't help but move their eyes.

Behind the screen, there is a bright candlelight, and the sound of rushing water can be faintly heard.

Someone is taking a bath.

Zhou Zhi walked out directly from behind the screen and into the bright inner hall.

Beautiful as a flower, the thin and plump Qi Niang is taking a bath in the bathtub, with her back to Zhou Zhi, smooth and shining.

Zhou Zhi's clear footsteps sounded, but Qi Niang continued to stretch her jade arms like condensation as if she hadn't heard it.

Zhou Zhi's greedy gaze immediately fell, but immediately after, the red rose petals completely blocked his vision.

The flame in Zhou Zhi's heart immediately jumped violently, but then he forcibly restrained it.

Sitting on the bathtub, Zhou Zhi naturally put it on Qi Niang's jade shoulder from behind.

Qi Niang suddenly shuddered, and then said timidly: "Cold! ”

"If it's cold, let people add some hot water." Zhou Zhi raised his head, looked out the door, and was just about to say hello, Qi Niang immediately took his hand and said in a low voice: "Forget it, it's not early, everyone is a poor person, one more thing, it's better to have one less thing." ”

"You!" Zhou Zhi stretched out his hand and pressed the bridge of Qi Niang's upturned nose, and then said softly: "You are still kind, if the eldest lady knows about this, I am afraid I will have to reprimand you well." ”

"As long as Zhou Lang doesn't say it, and the concubine doesn't say it, how can the eldest lady know?" Qi Niang turned around and raised her head, her palm-sized little face was full of grievances.

"Alas!" The flame in Zhou Zhi's heart suddenly rose incomparably, he immediately stood up and walked to the table at the back and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and then said softly: "Yesterday Balang sent a letter, he has entered a private school in Guizhou, maybe in a few years, he can come to Chang'an to participate in the imperial examination." ”

"Zhou Lang, after my family's criminal officer, he is not qualified to participate in the imperial examination." Qi Niang said, she stood up directly from the bath tub, then pulled the bath towel on the screen on one side, wiped it slightly, put on the green mandarin duck coat placed aside, and then walked directly to the bed without looking back.

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but sigh softly.

Qi Niang was the daughter of a colleague of his in his early years, and was later framed and sent to the land of Yunqian Poison Barrier.

Maybe it's because of the environment, or maybe it's because of the magic barrier in the heart, and he died in a few years.

Qi Niang was confiscated into the palace in her early years, and later inexplicably appeared in Qinxiangyuan, and happened to be discovered by Zhou Zhi who had just come to her, and then she was covered all year round.

Qi Niang also has a younger brother, and now in the whole family, only such a younger brother is still alive.

Zhou Zhi asked people to cancel his guilty record in Guizhou, and arranged him to enter the academy, which can be regarded as fulfilling the friendship of colleagues.

Standing up, Zhou Zhi glanced at the door, as if he was about to leave, but in the end, he walked towards the bed.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Zhou Zhi reached out and stroked Qi Niang's smooth jade shoulder, and then said softly: "Wait for me for a few years, wait for me to go up again, and then find a way to overturn the case for your father, and when the time comes, the matter of the Balang imperial examination will definitely not be an obstacle." ”

Hearing Zhou Zhi say this, Qi Niang's whole body suddenly relaxed.

At this time, the cyan curtains on both sides of the bed quietly fell.

With the invisible wind constantly rippling.

……

After a long time, the whole room was dark, Qi Niang had already fallen into a deep sleep, but Zhou Zhi still had his eyes open.

At this moment, the half of the bed under him slowly descended.

In the face of this sudden change, Zhou Zhi was expressionless, as if he had been prepared.

Half of the bed moved slowly, and finally went straight over the wall and into another room.

The bed was moved up and sent directly to the top.

The lonely bed was deserted.

Zhou Zhi took a deep breath, and his face became fierce in an instant, but then his expression disappeared completely, only with incomparable vigilance in his eyes.

Sitting up, Zhou Zhi picked up the clean robe placed on one side and put it on his body directly.

Getting off the bed, Zhou Zhi saw at a glance the man in Tsing Yi sitting on the side of the round table with a square mask on one side.

The man in Tsing Yi didn't see each other, but the white hair hanging down from his temples gave him a particularly elegant feeling.

Zhou Zhi's face sank, he had tried to find out the other party's true identity based on this characteristic, but unfortunately, there was no way.

Chaozhong couldn't find anyone similar in terms of height and size, as well as this characteristic white hair, and Zhou Zhi was a little suspicious that the appearance in front of him was probably fake.

As for how to determine the identity of his official, Zhou Zhi sneered in his heart, this person knows too much.

There are some things that he doesn't even know about the affairs of his subordinates, but he knows even more clearly than he does.

What is the origin, as long as you are not stupid, you can naturally see it at a glance.

Sitting down at the round table, Zhou Zhi put his right hand on the round table, and a wooden hairpin fell on the table.

Zhou Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "You should already know about the affairs of Vientiane Pavilion, there is no way, their people have been kicked out of Chang'an City by Qianniuwei, Jin Wuwei and Secret Guards, and there is no possibility of any deals." The stuff is there, and you guys have to figure out how to see how much it's worth. ”

The man in Tsing Yi on the side turned his head slightly, and his cold gaze fell directly on Zhou Zhi's body, as if he had no intention of accepting it directly.

Sure enough, the man in Tsing Yi then pushed the wooden hairpin back to Zhou Zhi's side, and then said in a hoarse voice: "This matter is not over yet, wait a little longer." ”

"Not over?" Zhou Zhi frowned, looked at the man in Tsing Yi, and said puzzledly: "Now, the king of Nanchang and Ming Shiyin have set their eyes on me, and if you continue, you will not be afraid that I will be exposed, and then you will be involved." ”

The man in Tsing Yi turned to look at Zhou Zhi and said lightly: "If you are not worried, we will tell Qi Niang that it was your father who framed her back then, then please feel free." ”

The words of the man in Tsing Yi made Zhou Zhi stunned directly in place.

It was Zhou Zhi back then, who framed Qi Niang's father, the same year that he was the most outstanding in his own subject.

Now the grass on the grave of that person is seven feet high, and Zhou Zhi is already in the middle of the province of Zhengwupin, as long as he is released, he will immediately be the assassin of Xiazhou, even in the court, it is also promising.

Who would have thought that Zhou Zhi could have today by framing his colleagues that day.

The most important thing is that after Zhou Zhi framed Qi Niang's father to death, he accidentally saw Qi Niang once, but he suddenly felt "guilty" and raised her.

It's a pity that Qin Xiangyuan has a strong background, otherwise, this person would have been brought out by him a long time ago.

Perhaps, if he really got out, Qi Niang might have followed her father earlier, and of course, her younger brother.

Their family may be reunited underground at the same time.

Zhou Zhi's face suddenly became gloomy, and his fists were clenched.

Back then, although he did it seamlessly, there were still many of their colleagues back then who didn't believe that Qi Niang's father was guilty.

Many people who have received the favor of Qi Niang's father believe that Qi Niang's father was wronged, and even now there are still people secretly investigating.

Above the court, the higher you go, the more enemies there are.

Zhou Zhi is now involved in the Tubo incident, and he is already extremely troublesome, if the things of the year are turned out again, then he will die.

Seeing that Zhou Zhi's face was as ugly as opening a dyeing workshop, the man in Tsing Yi smiled faintly, and then said: "The matter of the King of Nanchang and Ming Shiyin, don't worry, they are indeed eyeing you, but at the same time, there are more than 30 people." These more than 30 people are very difficult to investigate, they can't find any useful evidence in a short time, and by the time the matter is over, you have already been transferred out of Chang'an. ”

"Then wait until I am transferred out of Chang'an." Zhou Zhi pushed the wooden hairpin to the center of the round table again.

The man in Tsing Yi shook his head slightly and said, "When you get the order, it will be at least May, and at that time, Datang and Tubo have already started a war." You should know that this is the most suitable time to send this thing to Tibet. ”

Zhou Zhi's face was cold, and finally he had to nod and say, "It's before the end of this month." ”

"No, before the end of this month, we must leave a full ten days for the Tubo people to prepare." The face of the man in Tsing Yi was very decisive.

"Then it has to be recent." Zhou Zhi looked at the man in Tsing Yi with an ugly face, and said: "You and I both know that the King of Nanchang and Ming Shiyin are not incompetent, they don't seem to be moving now, firstly, because they have just disposed of the matter of Vientiane Pavilion, and they can't spare time for a while, and secondly, they are also watching coldly, looking at those people on the list, which one will jump out by itself, and which one will show flaws?" ”

"So, it has to be fast, fast enough to destroy all evidence before they can react." The man in Tsing Yi looked at Zhou Zhi coldly.

"You're making me bet." The anger in Zhou Zhi's heart suddenly rose, and he was just about to say something, when he saw a pair of cold eyes of the man in Tsing Yi, and the anger in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Zhou Zhi said coldly: "Even if you gamble, do you think those people in Vientiane Pavilion will still appear in Chang'an?" ”

"That's not your business, you just need to prepare your things and wait for news at any time." The man in Tsing Yi pushed the wooden hairpin to Zhou Zhi's eyes again, his eyes were firm, and he could not refuse at all.

Zhou Zhi took two deep breaths, and finally picked up the wooden hairpin.

He looked ahead and said softly, "Actually, you can directly contact the people of Vientiane Pavilion for these things. ”

The man in Tsing Yi shook his head and said, "No, this is a deal between you and the Tubo people, Vientiane Pavilion, and us, but we are in charge of matchmaking, and the people who pay for it are the Tubo people from beginning to end." ”

Zhou Zhi stood up, glanced at the man in Tsing Yi, and said softly: "Sometimes, I really don't understand, with your identity and background, what can't you do, you have to collude with Tubo?" ”

"No, you're wrong, we don't have any connection with Tubo, not even with Vientiane Pavilion, the one who really has anything to do with them has always been you." The faint words of the man in Tsing Yi tore apart the smirk that had been maintained on Zhou Zhi's face, and his face was also ugly and terrible in an instant.

However, Zhou Zhi had no room for refusal.
