The prison is not very large, and there are not many prisons inside. Like the others, the prisons were small, cold, and devoid of sunlight. The cells were all bars of iron bars, and each bar was the thickness of a thumb.

Generally, those who are caught in prison will look very frightened and desperate, some will sit on the ground like dead fish, and some will grab the fence and cry out hoarsely. Some people will grab the ground with their heads in order to get the forgiveness of the Son of Heaven, while others will remain silent and accept the final judgment.

Du Ziqi was different, his expression was still very calm, his breathing was still very gentle, and he was standing leisurely behind the iron fence with his hands behind his back.

When Zhou Jin came to him, Du Ziqi bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Weichen has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Zhou Jin didn't speak, just waved his hand. Du Ziqi stood up straight, looked at Su Zhou again, and said with a smile: "I've seen General Su." ”

After an hour's rest, Su Zhou also calmed down, looked at Du Ziqi calmly, and said, "I've seen Du Duwei." ”

In the end, Du Ziqi's gaze fell on Su Shi.

When he looked at Su Shi, his eyes were slightly closed, his pupils were slightly open, and his eyes showed a sense of scrutiny.

Su Shi stood behind Zhou Jin and Su Zhou, and he was also constantly looking at Du Ziqi.

Du Ziqi, now forty-one years old, entered the secret guard at the age of eighteen.

His father, Du Cheng, was the Son of Heaven's guard with a knife and was loyal to the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven was grateful for his loyalty, and when Du Zi was eighteen years old, he was accepted into the secret guard and became the Son of Heaven's pro-army.

And Du Ziqi has lived up to expectations, in the past 23 years, there is nothing he does not admire, whether it is his person or his work, and he has never made a mistake.

His family is also very happy, his wife is virtuous and modest, his children are gentle and frugal, and his grandchildren are lively and lovely.

Therefore, no matter which aspect you look at, Du Ziqi has no reason to betray the Son of Heaven.

At this time, Du Ziqi's face suddenly showed a hint of playfulness, he looked at Su Shi, and suddenly shouted: "Su Shi, Su Gongzi." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be taken aback, and they didn't expect Du Ziqi to recognize Su Shi.

Su Shi tilted his head slightly, touched his nose, and said, "You know me?" ”

Du Ziqi said lightly: "Su Gongzi is so famous in the capital, if he doesn't even know Su Gongzi, wouldn't it seem too lonely and unheard." ”

Su Shi said: "It turns out that Lord Du also likes poetry? ”

Du Ziqi said: "I don't know anything about poetry. ”

"Then I don't know why Lord Du pays attention to me?"

Du Ziqi said quietly: "In the capital, anyone who is abnormal is the object of the secret guard's attention, don't be surprised, this is just the duty of the secret guard." ”

"Anything unusual?" Su Shi's pupils shrank, and he asked slowly, "I don't know how to explain?" ”

"Anyone who is inconsistent with what is on the outside, inconsistent with the inconsistency, and who has different deeds and different words, can be described as abnormal."

Su Shi clapped his hands and said: "There are inconsistencies between the inside and the outside, inconsistencies between the front and the back, there are different behaviors and different words, and those who are called different, Master Du summed it up well." ”

Then he asked lightly: "Then Lord Du is not an anomaly?" As a pro-army of the Son of Heaven, but you deceive the king, is it considered inconsistent? ”

Du Ziqi's expression did not change in the slightest, and he said word by word: "Since I am the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, I should do my best to serve Your Majesty, how can I deceive the king?" ”

"So, the haunting of the Red Plum Pavilion and Cui Peng's death have nothing to do with you?"

Du Ziqi smiled slightly: "Everything is just Childe's speculation, if Childe has empirical evidence, please take it out, so as not to make a dispute between words." ”

Su Shi suddenly asked in a deep voice, "How do you know that all this is my speculation?" ”

Du Ziqi's face finally changed at this time, and it became extremely ugly.

Su Shi didn't look at him, he was looking at Zhou Jin and asked, "What did you tell him?" ”

Zhou Jin looked surprised, and immediately shook his head: "I never mentioned your name." ”

He looked at Su Zhou again, and Su Zhou smiled and said, "I never mentioned it either." ”

Su Zhou thought for a while and said: "Whether it is on the painting boat or in the General's Mansion, only Her Royal Highness the Princess and the eldest brother know about this matter, since you didn't say it, I don't know where Du Da learned that all this is my speculation?" ”

Immediately, he looked at Du Ziqi suspiciously, and asked, "Could it be that Lord Du has clairvoyance and ears?" ”

Du Ziqi's eyes flickered at this time, his lips were closed, and he no longer had the previous calm and calm.

Seeing that Du Ziqi didn't speak, Su Shi was not in a hurry, he continued: "Actually, there is one thing I haven't figured out until now. ”

Zhou Jin asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Cui Peng's death."

Zhou Jin was a little strange, and couldn't help but say: "When the other party knows that we are tracking down Cui Peng, they naturally understand that what they did nine years ago happened, and of course they want to kill Cui Peng in a hurry." ”

Su Shi shook his head and said, "It's better to be still than to move." For them, the risk of killing Cui Peng is far higher than Cui Peng's arrest. ”

"Why?"

"Because as Lord Du said, all this is my speculation and has no real evidence, so even if you arrest Cui Peng, as long as he insists on denying it like Lord Du, in fact, you don't have much to do with him."

"Maybe they're worried that Cui Peng won't be able to stand the torture?"

Su Shi asked rhetorically: "Will you use torture?" ”

Zhou Jin and Su Zhou remained silent.

The reason why they didn't arrest Cui Peng immediately at that time was because there was no reason to arrest him at all, so it was even more unlikely that torture would be used.

Su Shi sighed: "I believe that the other party must know you very well." ”

Su Zhou muttered on the side: "Maybe they were already panicking at that time. Anyone who knows that the bad things they have done are about to be revealed, and they will panic. ”

His explanation was very reasonable, and even Zhou Jin couldn't help but nod slightly.

However, Su Shi said: "Other people may be, but he won't." ”

"He? Who is he? Su Zhou frowned.

"He's the one behind it all."

"Why wouldn't he?" Zhou Jin couldn't help but ask.

Su Shi said slowly: "It is not easy to come up with a perfect plan in a short period of time, because a plan contains countless details. The more perfect the plan, the more detailed and interlocking it is, and there must be no room for error. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "And since this person can think of such a perfect plan in such a short time, and can also implement it perfectly under the supervision of your ears and eyes, it shows that this person is not only very smart and calm, but also very resolute and resolute." ”

"How can such a person be as panicked as a rabbit being chased by a hunter?"

Zhou Jin and Su Zhou couldn't answer, and Su Shi couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Du Ziqi, who was pale, and smiled: "I don't know if Lord Du can solve my doubts?" ”
