General's Palace.

Qin Yue kept moving around the hall like ants on a hot pot, but Zhou Jin and Su Zhou became very calm.

As the guards searched, the news about Su Shi continued to come back, and his whereabouts gradually became clear.

Su Zhou groaned: "What is certain is that the junior brother was not coerced and hijacked, and he got into the carriage voluntarily. ”

Zhou Jin pondered: "That carriage didn't deliberately hide its traces, does it mean that the other party has no ill will towards Su Gongzi?" ”

Although Su Zhou seemed a little hesitant, he finally nodded: "Judging from the current signs, he should be fine." And when the carriage arrived at the Jingyun Ferry, there was only the boy in the carriage, indicating that the younger brother got off between the Yudai Bridge and the Jingyun Ferry. ”

"It is seven or eight miles from Yudai Bridge to Jingyun Ferry, and there are more than 20 families living there, will Su Gongzi be taken to one of them's house."

Su Zhou said: "I have sent eighteen palace guards to search and inquire one by one, and I believe that news will come back soon." ”

At this time, Qin Yue couldn't help but say on the side: "What if the other party changes cars for Su in the middle of the way?" ”

"Since his disappearance since the younger brother, there have been eleven carriages coming and going between Yudai Bridge and Jingyun Ferry, and the whereabouts of each carriage have been clearly investigated by Wei, so it is impossible for him to change the car. And since he got on the bus voluntarily, it means that he knows who the other party is. ”

Speaking of this, Su Zhou was a little puzzled: "It's just that why did he go in such a hurry?" I was so anxious that I didn't have time to report to the house. And who is this person who asked him to meet? ”

Zhou Jin was also thinking about this question, and suddenly she remembered Du Ziqi's words, her heart was shocked, and she suddenly looked up at Su Zhou, and her voice became a little trembling because of shock.

"You guess it's going to be him?"

Su Zhou didn't have any thoughts, but when he heard Zhou Jin's guess, his eyes lit up first, and then his expression shook, and he looked at her incredulously.

"How did you think it was him?"

Although his tone was full of doubts, he had already approved Zhou Jin's guess in his heart.

Zhou Jin hesitated: "I just remembered Du Ziqi's words before he died, he said that person was very interested in Su Gongzi, so he had this guess." ”

Immediately, her expression was no longer calm, and she couldn't help but worry: "If it was really that person who made an appointment to meet Su Gongzi, would he be in danger?" ”

As soon as he heard that Su Shi might be in danger, Qin Yue was even more anxious, and blurted out, "Who is he you talking about?" ”

Su Zhou said slowly: "We don't know who this person is, we only know that he is a very terrible person. ”

Qin Yue was shocked: "Isn't Su Shi in danger?" ”

Su Zhou let out a deep breath and tried his best to calm down his anxious and restless heart, because the calmness he needed most now was the most.

He said slowly: "Since we can all guess that it was him who made an appointment to meet the younger brother, it is impossible for the younger brother not to guess, and he still went voluntarily, which shows that he has his own plans in his heart, and he thinks that there is no danger." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Jin was a little relieved, his eyes couldn't help but look into the distance, and he muttered to himself: "I don't know why he made an appointment to meet Su Gongzi?" ”

At the same moment, Su Shi asked the same question.

He looked directly at Pei Xun and said slowly: "I believe that the old gentleman asked me out this time, not just to inquire about Du Ziqi, I don't know what else the old gentleman has to teach?" ”

Pei Hyun asked rhetorically: "Doesn't the son want to meet the old man?" ”

Su Shi's head immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said, "Yes!" It's like hell. It's just that I really didn't expect to see the old gentleman so soon. ”

"Why do you want to see me?"

"Because there are many things that only an old gentleman can give me answers."

Pei Hyun said: "Since the son wants to know, I naturally know everything, and I have no end to it." ”

Hearing this, Su Shi looked at him in a daze: "Are you really willing to tell me?" ”

Bae Hyun said: "If I don't want to tell, why should I invite you to come." ”

Su Shi cautiously tentatively said, "But you told me, I may not keep it a secret for you." ”

Pei Hyun didn't seem to care at all, he said lightly: "Since I decided to tell you, naturally I didn't think that you would keep a secret for me." ”

"Why?"

Su Shi really couldn't figure out why Pei Hyun did this, and he couldn't figure out why he told himself.

Because Pei Hyun should understand that as long as Su Shi knows his secret, it means that Zhou Jin and Su Zhou will also know, and even His Majesty will know.

It was absolutely devastating for him.

Not only did he have no reason to tell himself, but he didn't even have a reason to tell anyone, and the best thing to do was to bring these secrets into the coffin.

Looking at Su Shi's troubled appearance, Pei Hyun seemed to enjoy it, so he just smiled and looked at him quietly, and did not answer his question.

Seeing that Pei Hyun didn't speak, Su Shi deliberately said, "This question shouldn't be difficult to answer." ”

"It's not that hard."

Su Shi said: "Then I'll listen to you." ”

However, Pei Hyun didn't answer him directly, but asked, "Do you know why I told you about Du Ziqi?" ”

Su Shi thought about it very seriously, and then shook his head, at this moment he thought of at least seven or eight reasons, but each of them didn't make sense.

If Pei Hyun is trying to rehabilitate Du Ziqi, it doesn't make sense at all. Because Du Ziqi did design to kill people, and he also killed five people, no matter how damn these five people, it was not Du Ziqi's turn to lynch.

If Pei Hyun is to make a name for Du Ziqi, it will be even more unreasonable, because although Du Ziqi has committed suicide, his family is still there, and the relatives of those who were killed by Du Ziqi will inevitably seek revenge on his family.

"It's actually quite simple, because he's dead." Pei Hyun said: "Since he is dead, it is impossible for you to let him die again." ”

"What if he hadn't died?"

"Of course, you won't see me, and I won't tell you his secret."

Hearing this, Su Shi's expression suddenly condensed, his mouth was half open, and his two eyes stared straight at Pei Xun.

Looking at Su Shi's shocked expression, Pei Hyun said approvingly: "It seems that you have understood what I mean, you are indeed a very smart person." ”

After a long time, Su Shi came to his senses, and looked at the old man in front of him who was still in good spirits and his demeanor was still steady, and his expression became in a trance again.

He smiled bitterly: "No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a dying person, if I can still be so energetic at your age, I will definitely live to be seventy years old." ”

Pei Hyun said lightly: "I am already seventy-three this year. ”
