Chapter Fifty-Six: Night Talk
The look of regret flashed in Yan Xinghai's eyes, and then a look of approval appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "Yes, you are right, it is really effortless to talk to smart people!" ”
Zhao Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Yan Xinghai didn't mention letting him swallow boiling water from beginning to end.
Yan Xinghai moved his lips, as if he had said a few words, but Zhao Xinyi didn't hear a single sound, and he was suspicious in his stomach, he didn't know what the hell this emperor was doing, and he was uneasy. After about three snaps of his fingers, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, from far to near, fast but not chaotic, the rhythm was steady, and he turned his head slightly, and the person who came was Qian Lingwu. Zhao Xinyi suddenly realized, presumably this emperor had just used superior sound transmission kung fu to call Qian Lingwu.
Qian Lingwu walked quickly to the pavilion and was about to bow down, when Yan Xinghai waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, sit down quickly!" The tone was very intimate, "For me Beiyan, you have worked hard!" As he spoke, he turned over the cup and poured tea.
Qian Lingwu hurriedly stepped forward to take the kettle from the emperor's hand, and said in a sincere panic: "Your Majesty has tormented the micro-minister!" ”
The emperor pretended to be angry and pointed at Zhao Xin: "Just talking about face, you are not as good as this fledgling boy!" ”
Zhao Xinyi pulled the corners of his mouth, smiled awkwardly, and said secretly: "Your Majesty, are you complimenting?" ”
Qian Lingwu also dared to take it, and said with a smile: "After all, Brother Zhao is used to being in the market!" ”
Zhao Xinyi secretly gritted his teeth, and said in his heart: "Okay, you won, scold the scoundrels in our city, and don't bring a dirty word!" ”
The emperor laughed and said "Good, good!" It's been a long time since I've had this fun! After taking a sip of tea, he almost choked himself, as if to hide his embarrassment, and said, "Boy, I came to ask you, what happened to the post station?" Who were you wounded by? ”
Zhao Xin's scalp was numb, so he repeated what he had said to Yan Chen before.
Yan Xinghai and Qian Lingwu glanced at each other, and the former said: "There is no doubt that the first group of people was sent by Old Man Hong, and the mastermind behind the second group of people can't surpass those few people." It's just that who instructed this mysterious and powerful third group of people? ”
Zhao Xinyi secretly calculated that the old man Hong in the emperor's mouth must be referring to Hong Jiangcheng, and the second group of people was naturally the ten black-clothed monks who suddenly killed at the end, while the third group of people were completely made up by themselves, in fact, they were just themselves.
Qian Lingwu thought for a moment and said: "Those two secret guard brothers were obviously killed by the snatching of their souls and spiritual powers, they must be the means of the Demon Sect, and I think the mastermind behind the scenes has nothing to do with the Demon Sect!" ”
Yan Xinghai nodded, "Aiqing sent someone to take my Flying Dragon Order to Guangwen Prison, and the head of the prison is to dig three feet into the ground and dig out those demons!" ”
Zhao Xinyi's heart tightened, he couldn't help shaking his hands, and when he saw the emperor looking at him, he hurriedly picked up the teacup.
"Wechen will do it himself!" As he spoke, Qian Lingwu stood up.
"There's no urgency." Yan Xinghai waved his hand and looked at Zhao Xin with a grim expression, "Boy, I heard that you were also present when those stone beasts in Baishi County committed murder, do you know who is behind the scenes?" ”
Zhao Xinyi was deeply afraid to pull out the radish and bring out the mud, so he hurriedly got up and said, "The grass people don't know!" ”
"You're so smart that you didn't guess a trace?" The emperor still had a straight face.
"Nope!" Zhao Xin's scalp was numb.
Yan Xinghai turned his head to look at Qian Lingwu, his tone softened a little, and he said, "Have you found out who is performing the magic behind your back?" ”
Qian Lingwu shook his head, his face was sad, and he said, "They have already recruited, but it was the Blood Devouring Demon King Han Xing of the Blood Demon Sect!" ”
Zhao Xinyi's heart trembled, and he said secretly: "It's really amazing!" ”
Yan Xinghai's face turned cold, and he said angrily: "Sure enough, it's the Blood Demon Sect, where is that Hanxing now?" ”
Qian Lingwu said: "No one knows now!" ”
Yan Xinghai nodded slightly, "Let Guangwen Prison investigate it thoroughly!" ”
"Yes!" Qian Lingwu bowed deeply.
The pavilion suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke for a while, a little embarrassed. Zhao Xinyi secretly clenched his right fist, glanced at Qian Lingwu, hesitated slightly, and plucked up the courage to say: "The grass people have two things they want to ask Master Qian!" ”
"Oh?" Qian Lingwu was slightly surprised, and then looked at the emperor, who put on an expression of "your business is my". Qian Lingwu was also aroused, and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"First, dare to ask why the Lord wanted to kill a stonemason named Lin Sanhammer?" Zhao Xin kept staring at Qian Lingwu with some provocation.
"Ergou's father!" Qian Lingwu looked thoughtful, "Both of them are honest and responsible people, their skills are very good, and they are also kind!" It's a pity that he was used by traitors, but I didn't kill people! ”
"Who's that?" Zhao Xin asked with a question, "Zhang Weiling of the crude medicine shop showcase had obviously confessed before he died, saying that it was Qian ......" frowned suddenly, and suddenly remembered that the guy only said Qian Ye, but he didn't say that it was Qian Lingwu, and there was more than one person surnamed Qian in the Qian Mansion, "Could it be ......?"
Qian Lingwu sighed and said, "Yes, it's my housekeeper Qian Shoucai's hand!" ”
"Why did he kill?" Zhao Xin's face was not good, and he secretly thought that he was your housekeeper, and he must have nothing to do with you.
Qian Lingwu seemed to see what Zhao Xinyi was thinking, shook his head and said: "My housekeeper seems to be useless, but in fact, he is not simple at all, he was strongly recommended to me by Hong Zhiyu and Jiang Shoujing, on the surface, it seems that he is serving these two people and secretly spying on me, but inside he is loyal to others, and he is the same master as Li Kuiwei." What's more, he's still a monk! ”
"What?" Zhao Xinyi's face was full of incredulity, "In this way, he was beaten ......"
"It's all pretended!" Qian Lingwu sighed, "Pretend to show me, and pretend to Jiang Shoujing and them!" ”
"Then the charred corpse in Hong Zhi's Imperial Vault is also him?" Zhao Xin's brain teased, "Killed by you?" ”
"Not bad!" Qian Lingwu nodded, "Those two corpses, one is Liang Xuecai, and the other is Qian Shoucai!" There was also a Fan donkey who was also killed by me and thrown into a mass grave! ”
"That's not right!" Zhao Xinyi suddenly reacted, "Since Qian Shoucai and Li Kuiwei are the same master, that is to say, Qian Shoucai and Ergou's father should also be on the same line......" Before he finished speaking, he already had a guess in his heart, Qian Shoucai should belong to the middle end of this line, and Ergou They are the bottom, Qian Shoucai may not know the existence of Ergou.
"It seems that you have already guessed, as you think, Qian Shoucai does not know what kind of existence the Three Hammers are. And the three hammers happened to bump into him rummaging around in my study, so he caused a murder! ”
Zhao Xinyi's heart was surging, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Yan Xinghai stood up, looked up at the starry sky, and sighed: "The sorrow of Northern Yan, the sorrow of me!" It's me, I'm sorry Lin Sanhammer! The tone was poignant.
"Your Majesty's words are serious, they are all incompetent!" Qian Lingwu knelt on the ground.
Yan Xinghai sighed and motioned for Qian Lingwu to continue to sit back in place.
Zhao Xinyi frowned slightly, I don't know if Yan Xinghai is acting on the spot, or if he really feels it, if he really comes from the bottom of his heart, he is really a good emperor. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly shook his head, "The most ruthless thing in the world is the imperial power, how can he really be so sad for a flat-headed common man!" After settling down, he took a deep breath and said, "Lord Qian, there is one more thing, do you recognize the assassin on the street today?" ”
Qian Lingwu smiled bitterly and looked at Yan Xinghai, who said, "This matter is not in a hurry, you will know in two days!" ”
Zhao Xinyi frowned, Yan Xinghai suddenly turned his head to look at him, and said seriously: "Boy, would you like to be the county magistrate of Baishi County?" The tone was arrogant.
Zhao Xinyi's heart was surging for a while, and he almost opened his mouth to agree, but after thinking about it for a while, he still chose to refuse: "Your Majesty said it was funny!" ”
"It looks like you're unwilling!" Yan Xinghai smiled playfully, "Suspicious official? ”
Zhao Xin broke out in a cold sweat, "The grass people are immoral and incompetent, they must be mediocre talents on the one side of the disaster, and they are really embarrassed!" Peeking at Yan Xinghai, he found that the latter was looking at himself, just meeting his eyes, although he was a little thief-minded, but he knew that he couldn't just show it - this was the old Taoist priest taught him to cheat the treasure book, took advantage of the situation to look at Yan Xinghai, looked at each other, and let go: "Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, the grass people are determined to become a talisman, subjugate demons and eliminate demons, and eliminate harm for the people!" ”
"Good ambition!" Yan Xinghai nodded slightly, and the words changed, "It's just that I don't know what method you used, you have a little bit of cultivation, but you don't have a spiritual vein, and this road is afraid that it is a dead-end alley for you, and it will not be able to go." ”
Zhao Xin was bitter in his mouth, and was about to say that he would work hard to find a way to break the alley. Yan Xinghai waved his hand, signaled and listened to him.
"The ancients were right, as long as the kung fu deep iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, but if the piece of ice in your hand is in your hand, what can you grind?"
Zhao Xin was like being struck by lightning, and he was speechless for a while.
The three of them said some more words, and the emperor sent Zhao Xinyi back with the eunuchs, leaving only Qian Lingwu to talk secretly.
The night was dark.
Yan Xinghai took Qian Lingwu to the palace city, jumped on the roof, Qian Lingwu hesitated slightly, and followed, Yan Xinghai stood on the roof with his back hand, looking into the distance, Wuning City was full of lights, and it was a peaceful atmosphere.
After a long time, Yan Xinghai spoke: "Aiqing, there is no one here, tell me your guess!" ”
Qian Lingwu naturally knew what the emperor meant, and it was nothing more than asking him to guess who was behind the scenes. It's just that this matter involves the royal family, how dare he open his mouth at will, in a dilemma, I saw Yan Xinghai wave his hand impatiently, signaling that he didn't have to be restrained by his mother-in-law, urging him to speak quickly. I had to speak: "Judging from Li Kuiwei's whereabouts and the people he came into contact with, King Bai Han is the most suspicious!" ”
Yan Xinghai nodded, and said: "My second brother has a high prestige, and many courtiers are looking forward to him, and he is at odds with Hong Jiangcheng, and he is constrained by him, if he can subdue Hong Jiangcheng, it can indeed be regarded as a tiger with wings for him, and he is naturally the most suspicious!" Then he smiled and shook his head again, "However, it is precisely because of this that it will not be him!" You still don't know enough about my second brother. First, his intelligence is not inferior to mine, and he naturally understands the truth of 'those who are big are suspicious'. Second, although he is a little unruly, many things are willful, but he has a compassionate heart, since he was a child, he will be sad for the death of an ant, and it is definitely not his behavior to kill people and destroy the whole family at every turn. Thirdly, I trust him too! Li Kuiwei's actions are afraid that someone deliberately instructed him and wanted to frame him! ”
"It's the minister's recklessness!" As he spoke, Qian Lingwu was about to kneel.
Yan Xinghai waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to care, and said leisurely: "Some people you can't think of are even more suspicious. "Look into the distance," I guess, it's time to do it over there! ”
