Ah Yao looked at Li Lin with a complicated expression.

Li Lin met her gaze and asked repeatedly, "What are you looking at me like this?" ”

"The ......"

At this time, Qi Chen suddenly spoke up and interrupted Ah Yao's words.

"Look! The regent came out. ”

Hearing this, Ah Yao and Li Lin looked at Rong Qianhan at the same time.

Everyone on the second floor looked over.

Qi Chen chuckled lightly and asked casually, "I don't know what the regent and the scholar said." ”

Ah Yao didn't have time to think about it, so she went downstairs and came to Rong Qianhan's side.

"Lord Wang."

Rong Qianhan's gaze fell on her softly, and he nodded at her in response.

As soon as she was about to speak, she heard Zhou Jin say respectfully: "This matter has caused trouble to the regent, I'm really sorry!" ”

Rong Qianhan didn't speak, but nodded slightly to Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin turned to look at Ah Yao again, and apologized sincerely, "Miss Ah Yao, the old man has offended a lot before, and I hope you don't be surprised." ”

Yao: "......"

What happened?

How did people who used to have noses that weren't noses and eyes that weren't eyes suddenly change their attitudes?

"The old man will take his leave first, and the rest will trouble the regent." Zhou Jindao.

"Hmm."

Zhou Jin walked away under the puzzled and shocked gazes of everyone.

At this time, Qi Chen and Wang Fengxian on the second floor looked at each other suspiciously.

"What did the scholar say in the room?" Wang Fengxian couldn't help but ask curiously.

Qi Chen stood with his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "Interesting." ”

The Li Yun brothers and sisters on the side were also at a loss.

Li Lin approached Li Yun curiously, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yun, I didn't see flowers with my eyes, right?" The scholar just said to the regent......"

Li Yun nodded, "You read that right. ”

"What's going on with them?"

"I'm afraid only they know."

Seeing Zhou Jin go away, Ah Yao looked at Rong Qianhan in confusion.

Rong Qianhan smiled at her, "Let's go!" Go home. ”

"Isn't King Yu's death investigated?"

"I'll talk about it later."

Ah Yao chased him out and followed him back to the Regent's Mansion full of doubts.

Along the way, Rong Qianhan didn't say a word.

Ah Yao endured all the way, and when she reached the regent, she couldn't wait to ask after returning to the room and closing the door.

"Lord, what did you say in the room? How did he ...... his attitude?"

Rong Qianhan smiled at her and explained, "We reached an agreement. ”

"Agreements?"

Rong Qianhan recalled his conversation with Zhou Jin, and said to Ayao in 1510.

After he and Zhou Jin entered the room, they took the lead without waiting for Zhou Jin to speak.

"This king has conclusive evidence to prove that King Yu is the real murderer of the three murders in Kyoto, not only that, but this king has also found some interesting things, do you want to listen to it?"

couldn't figure out what Rong Qianhan knew, Zhou Jin didn't dare to answer rashly, so he could only follow his words and ask.

"What else did you find?"

"King Yu is suffering from a strange disease."

Zhou Jin immediately changed his face, "You ......"

King Yu suffered from a strange disease, it is a secret in Beihuai, no one knows about it except the emperor and him, the imperial doctor and doctor who diagnosed King Yu at the beginning have been removed, how did Rong Qianhan know?

Rong Qianhan was very satisfied with Zhou Jin's reaction, and hooked his lips slightly, "If this matter continues to dig deeper, King Yu will definitely be known to everyone in Beihuai, and it will ...... when the time comes."

"Don't!" Zhou Jin blurted out.

In order to conceal King Yu's strange illness, Emperor Beihuai turned a blind eye to what King Yu did, and if these things were poked out at this time, it would definitely set off huge waves in Beihuai.

If someone with a heart uses this matter to make a fuss again, the Beihuai Emperor will face a huge crisis.

"In order to conceal King Yu's strange illness, you connived at him to harm so many people in Beihuai, if the people of Beihuai knew that their emperor's brother harmed people, what would the people think?"

A handle fell on Rong Qianhan's hand, Zhou Jin's face was ugly, sweat was like rain, and he couldn't say a word.

"Does the regent want to use this matter to drive my Beihuai to a dead end? What's in it for Dongli? Zhou Jin pretended to be calm and asked.

"It's really not good."

Zhou Jingang breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to him continue to speak.

"But this king can take the opportunity to destroy your Beihuai."

Zhou Jin realized the seriousness of the matter, "Does the regent really want to do this job?" ”

Rong Qian snorted coldly: "The fate of your Beihuai is in your own hands, it depends on what you do." ”

Zhou Jin looked at Rong Qianhan and thought for a long time, then raised his hand to wipe the thin sweat on his forehead, "This matter is not trivial to my Beihuai, and I hope that the regent will raise his noble hand." ”

"When the scholar was unforgiving to this king and Ah Yao, he didn't think about the words 'raise your noble hand'."

"I ......"

Rong Qianhan has said it to this point, if he doesn't come up with a sincere explanation, Rong Qianhan is afraid that he will not give up.

Zhou Jin weighed the pros and cons, struggled for a long time, and finally made a decision.

"It's all rude to the old man, and I hope the regent won't be surprised, if the regent doesn't make the matter of King Yu's strange illness public, the old man is willing to persuade the emperor to repair a hundred years with Dongli."

"So you want to send this king?" Rong Qianhan looked dissatisfied.

Zhou Jin frowned, "Then the regent still wants to ......"

"This king wants Beihuai to submit to my Dongli!"

"What?" Zhou Jin immediately changed his face.

Rong Qianhan raised his eyebrows, "There is no room for bargaining for scholars. ”

Zhou Jin's face was more ugly than eating a fly, "The regent wants us to ......treat you like Nanjiang in Beihuai"

"That's right!"

Several countries around Dongli, only southern Xinjiang has become its vassal state, sending annual tribute to Dongli every year, and the major decision-making power in southern Xinjiang is in the hands of Dongli, but southern Xinjiang has the protection of Dongli, and these years can also be regarded as the country and the people.

Although Dongli and the other countries have been in peace for many years, everyone is eyeing each other, and in order to prevent the recurrence of war, he must find a way to maintain the balance between them.

Now is a great opportunity, he wants Beihuai to submit to Dongli and clear the foreign enemies for the king's seven nights.

Such an important event, where did Zhou Jin dare to agree, he could only shirk it.

"This matter is not trivial, I'm afraid I can't be the master, I ......"

Rong Qianhan interrupted him, "As long as the scholar relays the words of this king to the Beihuai Emperor as it is......"

He is well aware of the current situation in Beihuai, the Beihuai Emperor has just ascended the throne, and his foundation in the court is still unstable.

If it is revealed that the Beihuai Emperor connived at King Yu's cruelty to the people, so that the Beihuai Emperor completely loses the support of the people, other forces in the Beihuai will inevitably wait for an opportunity to move.

Between sitting on the throne and submitting to Dongli, he believed that the Northern Huai Emperor would make the right choice.

As for how the Beihuai Emperor explained to the people and the hundreds of officials in the court, he thought about it for the Beihuai Emperor.

Because Beihuai is in a severe cold zone, the grain planted is insufficient, and it needs to buy a large amount of grain from Dongli all year round.

He can promise Beihuai that as long as Beihuai surrenders to Dongli, Dongli can provide part of Beihuai's grain free of charge every year to solve the food problem of the people of Beihuai.

After Zhou Jin listened to his plan, he smiled helplessly.

"The regent has already thought of everything for our Beihuai, and he has really taken great pains."

"Thank you King Yu for the opportunity."

Zhou Jin raised his eyes, "I will truthfully convey these words to the emperor, and ask the emperor to make a decision." ”

"This king doesn't have much patience, don't let this king wait."

"The old man understands."

After listening to Rong Qianhan say this, Ah Yao couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

That's the end of it!?

What about the three lives that were killed by King Yu?

Just because they have a humble status, they can become bargaining chips, and they can't even get justice back after their death?

A-Yao lowered her head and was silent.

Rong Qianhan looked at her and explained: "The three murders in Kyoto will not go unsolved, Zhou Jin will find a scapegoat from the Beihuai people, admit the three murders, and then compensate the families of the three people with a lot of silver." ”

"And then?"

Rong Qianhan was stunned for a moment before he continued: "Now that King Yu is dead, there is no proof of his death, and this king thinks that Zhou Jin's approach is to give everyone a satisfactory explanation." ”

Ah Yao looked at Rong Qianhan, and always felt that he was a little strange today.

She thought about it for a while, and then understood why Rong Qianhan would agree to Zhou Jin doing this.

In order to purge Dongli of foreign enemies, Rong Qianhan agreed to Zhou Jin.

Dongli and Beihuai are a win-win situation, and the families of the three people who died at the hands of King Yu will also receive a generous amount of compensation.

Everyone seems to have won.

But she was not happy at all.

Because she knew in her heart that this was a bargaining chip with three lives.

The corners of her mouth suddenly pulled out a mocking smile, "Did the prince really take great pains for Dongli, or did the prince know that the murderer was Queen Yu, so he planned everything?" ”

"What do you mean?" Rong Qianhan's face sank.

knew that he was unhappy, but A-Yao was unwilling to compromise with him at the moment.

She took a few steps back and distanced herself from Rong Qianhan.

Rong Qianhan's face darkened directly, and he asked unhappily, "What are you doing here?" ”

"It turns out that in the heart of the prince, anything can be a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits."

Rong Qianhan's thick eyebrows frowned, and his face was dark and blue, "A-Yao, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"I know."

"If you take back what you just said, this king can act as if nothing happened."

"No need!"

As the words fell, Yao turned around and left his room.

Rong Qianhan watched her walk away and smashed the table beside her with one palm.

Ah Yao, who walked to the courtyard, heard a loud noise behind her, and still left without looking back.

Ah Yao left the Regent's Mansion and bought some paper money on the street and went to the alley where the murder case occurred.

She entered the alley and squatted on the ground without saying a word to burn paper money.

Because she was also a humble person, seeing their lives being used as bargaining chips like this, she couldn't accept it for a while, so she said something like that to Rong Qianhan.

However, after today's events, she seems to have woken up and understood the relationship between her and Rong Qianhan.

Rong Qianhan is just trying to get her body good, and when he gets tired of it, they will be strangers after all.

Thinking about it this way, her determination to leave became even stronger.

She took a deep breath and continued to burn paper money.

At this moment, an abrupt voice sounded behind her.

"Why is Miss Yao here?"

"The humble author asks for recommendation votes online, and asks for praise!"
