Tongfu Inn, small courtyard kitchen.

The firelight in the stove reflected Liu Li's tears. She could imagine how dangerous her father's situation was at that time. But he never revealed anything in his letters home......

The crackling sound of firewood cracking called her back from her distraction.

"Can you tell me what the secret is?" Liu Li wiped away her tears and asked softly.

"I don't know yet." Zhu Zhen sighed and said: "But judging from Xiong Qitai's reflection, it should be a great secret." ”

"My father fought with them until the last minute, right?" Liu Li asked again.

"Yes." Zhu Zhen nodded, briefly told Liu Li about the situation he had, and said in a deep voice at the end: "I can say very responsibly that the senior brother sacrificed his life for the country and the people. ”

"Hmm." Liu Li nodded heavily, wiped his tears with the back of his hand, and inhaled deeply with his nose: "Take me with you in the future." My father's enemy is still there, and I will continue to fight for him. ”

Her gaze was extremely resolute, so that Zhu Zhen couldn't refuse.

"Okay." He nodded and said, "Let's avenge Senior Brother together." ”

"Well, Uncle Xiao is the best." Liu Li burst into tears and laughed, and then exclaimed: "Oops, the pot is paste!" ”

~~

At the meeting in the evening, Zhu Zhen really called Liu Li together.

"Everyone understands the situation and thinks about it for a while." He looked at his uncle and Luo Guanzhong, and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me what you think." ”

"Your Highness, reveal your identity." His uncle said worriedly: "That Xiong Qitai dared to kill Qincha, which means that he has lost his mind, and there is no one he dare not kill."

"And since Liu Kong's killing is a traitor, he must have revealed His Royal Highness's identity to him. Now that the horse experience is missing, I can't figure out if he will jump off the wall in a hurry! ”

"He's a fart!" Zhu Zhen sneered and said, "He is not the only one who knows the identity of this king, there is also Zeng Tai." Did he think that he could repeat his old tricks and destroy this king silently like he did with my senior brother? Dream on! ”

"The son of a daughter can't sit down, so it's better to be careful." Hu Quan insisted.

"Having said that, it's a pity to have a card open at this time." Luo Guanzhong pushed his glasses, as a family, he couldn't stand the middle of the story, and suddenly sucitated...... It's an unclever storytelling technique, because it destroys the internal logic of the story, and it's a clumsy plot strategy that only a third-rate family would use.

Well, it's a bit much, in short, Mr. Luo hopes that the sixth child can continue to use his current role to finish this scene. Of course, he is not trying to pit the sixth child, but he is still actively making suggestions.

"The drama is not big enough, and the dramatic conflict is not intense enough. We can use that Liu Kong to make some articles and push this scene to the climax, and then His Royal Highness will reveal his identity and appear on the stage, wouldn't the effect be better? ”

"Mr. Luo, it's not a good word to appear on the stage." Liu Li reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, is it? I really don't know, haha. Luo Guanzhong smiled, his heart was broken, and he couldn't secretly poke and sarcastically mock the semi-literate in the future. Hurriedly diverted the topic:

"And if we close the net now, we may never know what that big secret is."

"That's ......" Zhu Zhen nodded, they had already inquired from the bag in the teahouse next door, and learned that Pang Yi, the official who brought the burden to the senior brother, had been killed at the beginning of the first month when he was sent to Gannan on a business trip to encounter mountain bandits.

"In addition, it is really not reliable to arrest a provincial political envoy on the basis of the confession of only one person. What's more, there is Shen Liben, who is here, and His Highness can't do whatever he wants...... So Xiong Qitai doesn't want to talk about it as much as he wants? None of his confessions could be confirmed. If he retracts his confession when he is sent to the capital in the future, His Highness's face will be lost. ”

"Makes sense." The sixth child was finally convinced, nodded heavily, and said: "This king is waiting here for him to come to the door, as long as he sends troops to arrest me, I can logically quell the rebellion, right?" ”

"Yes...... "Everyone is this Khan, His Royal Highness is just obsessed with quelling the rebellion.

"Besides, I'll try to find the guard." The sixth didn't have much hope and said, "What if I find it, won't things turn around?" ”

"Well, I'll send someone to find the bag on Toad Street tomorrow to inquire about the news," Hu Quan nodded.

"And the second uncle's concubine...... Uh, Fong. The second uncle has been working hard for a few days, so it's time for her to contribute, right? The sixth said again.

"Understood." Hu Quan smiled bitterly: "I'll go there myself." ”

~~

In that room, Qin was on a mission. Silk and bamboo are long, living and fragrant.

Shen Liben was serving several stunning beauties, enjoying a luxurious dinner while enjoying the beauty.

During the banquet, the laughter and feast, this blow hole flute, the wonderful song, all the sounds are silent, the swimming fish listen, it is really like a fairyland on earth.

But the sound of hurried footsteps broke the harmony of this picture, Shen Liben frowned unhappily, and after seeing that it was Xiong Qitai who came in, he endured it and did not have a seizure.

"What's wrong, panicking?"

"My lord, it's no good, three of my people have been arrested by Zeng Tai's gang." Xiong Qitai said in a low voice.

"Was it the official who was in Cao's political house that day?" Shen Li couldn't understand Xiong Qitai's mood, and asked slowly.

"Yes, but he's agreed to let me be interrogated. He took them back, and after questioning them overnight, he let them go. Xiong Qitai said angrily:

"Who would have thought that Zeng Tai's sinister guy actually brought them back to the prosecutor on the grounds of closing the case and signing the detention, and blatantly arrested the three people in the signing room.

What's even more shameless is that he asked them to enter the signing room through the front door and leave through the back door in turn, but the rest of the people didn't know that they had been arrested!

"It wasn't until their families waited until the evening when they didn't see anyone and searched for each house that they found that they hadn't come back at all!" Xiong Qitai was furious and said: "It is sensational that the dignified envoy actually kidnapped the court official of my political secretary!" I'm going to make him pay! ”

"What are you shouting, don't you just want people back?" Shen Liben plucked out his ears and said displeasedly.

"Xia Guan will go to ask for someone as soon as possible! But the surnamed Zeng resolutely refused to admit it, not to say that they had left the Yamen of the Judges. Xiong Qitai said depressedly: "I asked Deputy Envoy Feng, but the messenger guarding the door didn't see them leave at all!" ”

"Please give an order to him and order him to hand it over, otherwise he will search the Yamen!" Xiong Qitai said, and eagerly hugged his fists.

"Do you have any tricks on those three people? Why are you in such a hurry? Shen Liben was still slow and reasonable.

"There is a person who knows ......," Xiong Qitai said with difficulty.

"Didn't you say that no one knew about it anymore?!" Shen Liben was on fire.

"Don't be angry, my lord, I have more outrageous news to report......" Xiong Qitai said and waved his hand, motioning for those beautiful women to retreat.
