Su Shi picked up the teapot, poured tea for Pei Xun like an old friend, then picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and said slowly: "But as far as I know, Du Ziqi did not quit the secret guard, but became a secret agent for twenty-three years, and now he is an official to the fourth grade." ”

Pei Hyun said lightly: "The reason why he is in pain is because there is always a sense of injustice in his heart. Since there is injustice in the heart, it is natural to swing the knife and slash at the injustice. ”

Su Shi asked calmly: "Did he swing his knife and slash at the injustice?" Or will you become your slasher? ”

Pei Hyun's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he sighed lightly: "Killing people is not a pleasure, and when you are angry, it is only five steps of blood splashing, and it has not changed the overall situation in the slightest." ”

Su Shi picked up the teacup and said slowly: "But at least it has changed Du Ziqi." ”

Pei Hyun said: "If he doesn't change, I'm afraid that he will die eighteen years ago." ”

Su Shi said: "In order to eliminate the grievances in his heart, he should have killed a lot of people, right?" ”

"Du Ziqi is not a person who loves to kill, so he has not killed many people in the past ten years, only five people."

Su Shi sighed: "It's really not much, and I believe that these five people have their way to death." ”

"That's true." Pei Hyun said: "After he killed Bai Jingchao three years ago, everyone in the capital applauded. ”

Su Shi took a deep breath: "Bai Jingchao, the last person in charge of the Dongyuan Plasma Library?" ”

"The evil things Bai Jingchao has done are too numerous to mention, but everyone has no way to take him."

Bai Jingchao's death caused a sensation in the entire capital at that time, and because the cause of death was too bizarre, it caused a lot of discussion.

for he was struck to death by lightning.

What's even more bizarre is that he was killed by lightning in his bedroom at noon.

It is said that on that day, Tianwei was furious, and thirteen thunderbolts struck the kiss on the roof of Baifu one after another, and several of them passed through the eaves and hit Bai Jingchao, who was taking a nap, knocking him beyond recognition, and his whole body was like charcoal.

So even though three years have passed since this incident, Su Shi still remembers it vividly.

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "I remember that Bai Jingchao was killed by thunder. ”

"That's true."

"But you said he was killed by Du Ziqi."

Pei Xun said: "Because if it weren't for Du Ziqi, Bai Jingchao would not have been killed by thunder." ”

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "Don't tell me that Du Ziqi can lead to thunder." ”

Pei Hyun suddenly looked at Su Shi with a very strange look and said, "If I say that Du Ziqi can use the technique of guiding thunder, do you believe it?" ”

"Of course not."

"Why?"

Su Shi was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

Naturally, he couldn't explain to Pei Hyun that thunder and lightning were not a divine power, but a natural phenomenon, and it was impossible for humans to control it.

However, Pei Hyun didn't ask too much about this issue, but let out a sigh: "In order to kill Bai Jingchao, Du Ziqi has been preparing for two years. ”

"Two years?" Su Shi was taken aback.

"When Du Ziqi learned that Bai Jingchao was going to renovate the Bai Mansion, he was planning this matter."

"Lightning strikes and kills Bai Jingchao?"

Bae Hyun nodded.

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "But I still don't know how he can lead the thunder?" ”

Bae Hyun smiled: "This matter seems to be mysterious, but once it is exposed, you will find that it is actually very simple." ”

Su Shi couldn't help but ask, "How simple is it?" ”

Pei Xun said: "Du Ziqi is just a person who buys off the repair of the White Mansion, and then asks this person to put some things in the wall during the repair." ”

"Thunderbolts?" Su Shi blurted out.

"Not bad. Inside the wall there is a section of iron wire, one end of which is next to the Lei Gong Pillar and the other end is at the foot of the bedroom bed. ”

"After the repair of Baifu was over, Bai Jingchao feasted guests, and Du Ziqi also went."

Su Shi sighed: "He naturally went to complete the final process. ”

Pei Xun said: "When I went to Baifu, Du Ziqi first came to the side of Lei Gongzhu, and when no one was around, he placed an iron wire in the recess that had already been made, one end was connected to Lei Gongzhu, and the other end was entangled with the iron wire in the wall. ”

Su Shi continued: "Next, he will find an excuse to go to Bai Jingchao's bedroom, connect the wire in the wall with the bed, and the rest is to wait." ”

"He didn't have to wait long."

Su Shi said: "You must have taught him this method." ”

Bae Hyun did not deny it.

However, Su Shi shook his head and sighed: "I can only say that Du Ziqi is too lucky, because using this method to kill people, maybe it can be used ten thousand times to succeed once." ”

"Why?"

"Because there are so many factors beyond our control, in my opinion, it is completely impossible to succeed."

"But he really succeeded."

"So I don't have anything to say but say he's lucky."

Pei Hyun said suddenly: "It can also be said to be providence." ”

"Providence?"

"Yes, providence. Providence so. ”

Without waiting for Su Shi to ask, Pei Xun continued: "The reason why Bai Jingchao can run rampant is because he is the person of the eldest prince Zhou Xin, and the Dongyuan Qualitative Library is Zhou Xin's industry. Zhou Xin is another person who only looks at the results and does not ask whether it is right or wrong. Since Bai Jingchao can bring Zhou Xin a huge amount of wealth, he naturally has to do his best to maintain it. ”

Su Shi was stunned when he heard this, suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help asking, "What about the Flower Pavilion?" ”

Pei Hyun said: "The property of the second prince Zhou Jin. ”

Su Shi couldn't help but touch his nose and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that these days Huang nobles would like to do business so much." ”

Pei Hyun smiled slightly and said, "No one doesn't like money, even those nobles are no exception." ”

Speaking of this, Pei Hyun looked at Su Shi and smiled mysteriously, and asked again: "Who is the initiator of all this?" ”

Su Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Zhou Xuan."

Su Shi almost jumped up from the chair, even though he barely managed to stabilize his figure, he still looked at Pei Hyun in disbelief, and exclaimed in surprise: "The late prince." ”

"Not bad. In fact, whether it is the Flower Pavilion or the Dongyuan Qualitative Library, and the industries under their names, they were originally all owned by the prince. It was only after the death of the crown prince that these properties were distributed among other princes. ”

Su Shi muttered: "What kind of world is this, the prince is not good at learning to deal with national affairs, but he is just starting a business." ”

But then Su Shi looked at Pei Hyun suspiciously, and couldn't help asking: "The prince is obviously not doing his job properly, and he is also competing with the people for profit, doesn't Your Majesty and those ministers have an opinion?" ”

"Then do you know who is doing business with the prince?"

Su Shi rubbed his forehead vigorously and said with a wry smile: "Don't tell me that it's those family ministers." ”

Although Bae Hyun didn't speak, his expression clearly told him that his guess was not wrong.

Su Shi still couldn't understand: "It is impossible for any emperor to tolerate the prince forming a party for personal gain, the crown prince is already wearing the same pants as these family ministers, doesn't Your Majesty have any opinions?" ”

"His Majesty participates in every industry that the prince does, and he is also the one who gets the most money."

"Is the focus on the distribution of benefits?"

Pei Xun smiled and said, "Zhou Yi is not like a human monarch, the reason why he can ascend the throne is because there is really no one to choose from. If the crown prince didn't die, I was afraid that he would have passed the throne to the prince a long time ago, and he would be a carefree emperor. ”

Su Shi was dumbfounded when he heard this, he really couldn't imagine that Pei Yi would actually call the Son of Heaven by his name, and dare to evaluate him like this.

However, if his words are true, Su Shi really doesn't know how to evaluate this dynasty, maybe he can only describe it as Qiba.

Qiba's Qianchao, Qiba's Son of Heaven, Qiba's Prince, Qiba's royal family.
