After Su Shi finished eating, he ordered someone to clean up the table, and Shi Shiran walked out of the room.

He walked along the cloister towards the hall, and as soon as the subordinates of the General's Mansion saw him along the way, their expressions immediately became solemn and nervous, and after the salute was finished, they left in a hurry, not even daring to say a word to him.

Everyone in the mansion can feel that since the eldest prince returned to the mansion with the second son, the atmosphere in the general's mansion today has become very solemn and tense.

Now in the hall of the General's Mansion sat a princess, a father-in-law who served His Majesty closely, and a cabinet scholar.

These people are waiting for the second son in the hall without complaint, and they have been waiting for a long time.

The people who entered the hall to pour water for these precious ginseng tea came out, their backs were wet with sweat, and they all had palpitations.

When Su Shi appeared in front of everyone, a white-faced and beardless eunuch in his fifties stood up and bowed his hand to Su Shi: "Our family has seen Su Ergongzi. ”

Su Shi also saluted: "Let Gonggong Hu wait for a long time, I really don't want to go, here I apologize to Gonggong Hu first." ”

Hu Gonggong said: "The son works hard for the country, and our family should wait." The saint is full of praise and favor for the son, if it weren't for the saint's busy state affairs today, he would have already issued an edict to let the prince enter the palace. ”

The two exchanged a few polite words, and then returned to their seats.

After Su Shi sat down, his eyes swept around, and finally landed on Qin Nan, smiled slightly, and nodded to her.

Qin Nan and Zhou Jin sat together, and when they saw Su Shi looking at her, they were happy in their hearts, and secretly looked at everyone, seeing that everyone was looking at Su Shi, they didn't pay attention to her, and the children had a temperament, and couldn't help but make a grimace at Su Shi.

Su Shi was amused, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

When the others saw Su Shi, they suddenly smiled, and they were all stunned for a moment, and they couldn't help but follow Su Shi's gaze.

Qin Nan found that everyone's eyes suddenly gathered on him, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, his face turned red, and he immediately sat upright, looking at his nose and heart, and didn't dare to look at everyone anymore.

Qin Zhidao coughed a few times at this time, attracting everyone's attention to himself, and then looked at Su Shi and said slowly: "The virtuous nephew is in good health, right?" ”

"Thank you Lord Qin for your concern, today is just mentally tired, and I have recovered after a good night's sleep. But let everyone wait for a long time, but it's not down. ”

Qin Zhidao stroked his beard and sighed: "I've been waiting for ten years, and I don't care about this moment." ”

Speaking of this, his voice trembled a little: "Listening to Her Royal Highness the Princess and General Su, it seems that the virtuous nephew has already investigated and found out the prince's case?" ”

Su Shi said solemnly: "Yes." ”

This sentence made the faces of everyone in the hall change again, although Zhou Jin and Su Zhou were still shaking in their hearts when they heard Su Shi's answer so affirmatively for the second time.

Su Shi said again: "But I still want to confirm a few things. ”

"What's the matter?" Zhou Jin couldn't help but ask.

Su Shi looked at Qin Zhidao and asked, "I wonder how much Lord Qin knows about the destruction of Nanjing sixty-five years ago?" ”

Everyone was slightly stunned when they saw Su Shi suddenly ask about such a long-ago matter, but they also knew that Su Shi was by no means a whim, and this matter must have something to do with the prince's case, so everyone's eyes looked at Qin Zhidao again.

Qin Zhidao kept rubbing his beard and said with a wry smile: "I don't know much about the destruction of Nanjing, I only know that the people of Nanjing were not living under the rule of King Pei at that time, and they were rebellious to the Great Qianxin, so the Great Qiancai rebelled and relieved the people of Nanjing from fire and water." ”

Su Shi did not comment on this statement, history is written by the victors, and since Nanjing was destroyed, it naturally has no right to speak.

"The Nanjing royal family was slaughtered by the great general Qi Zheng, does Lord Qin know about this matter?"

Qin Zhidao hesitated: "I've heard of it, but what are the details?" It's too old to be examined. Even though he looked at Su Shi suspiciously, he asked, "Why is the virtuous nephew so interested in this matter?" ”

Su Chang sighed: "Sixty-five years ago, the Great Qian destroyed Nanjing and slaughtered the Pei clan of the Nanjing royal family. Fifty-five years later, Pei Xun, the remnant of the Pei family, designed and murdered the prince in order to avenge the hatred of the country and the annihilation of the clan. ”

Then Su Shi told the story of the layout that Pei Hyun had planned for thirteen years.

Pei Xun first approached Zhou Yi, who was still the prince at that time, as a red-robed Taoist priest, and then intimidated Zhou Xuan and others with his life and hexagrams, and later approached Zhong Lichuan as a doctor, and finally killed Qi Yu and Tan Zhuo to prove the hexagram, so that the prince fell into his urn unconsciously.

But there are some things that Su Shi did not say, such as Pei Xun also killed twelve people who were enough to change the fortune of the Great Qian, because this matter could not be confirmed at present, Su Shi did not say it in order to avoid causing unnecessary worry.

Pei Hyun predicted that Zhou Xuan would ascend to the throne and the great cadres would rise and fall in half a year, and he also hid it in his heart, after all, this was too mysterious.

As for what Pei Hyun said to him before he died, Su Shi didn't think to say it at all.

When Su Shi finished speaking, no one spoke, because everyone was in extreme shock.

They could never have imagined that a person's scheming could be so deep that he would not hesitate to spend thirteen years planning to kill a person.

Everyone suddenly had a very ridiculous feeling - no one dared to say this feeling, if a person used such a long time to plot to kill Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan seemed to have no other way to go except death.

After Zhou Jin heard this, her eyes were full of pain and remorse, because she had seen that charm inadvertently, and because of curiosity, she still played with it in her hand, but she really didn't expect that that charm was actually the prince's brother's life talisman.

Su Shi looked at Gonggong Hu and asked, "Gonggong Hu has served His Majesty for many years, and he must care more about the prince." With Zhong Lichuan's cautious and cautious character, even if he knew that the prescription could cure the insomnia, he would not dare to let the prince take it privately, and he would definitely present it to the Tai Hospital for examination. Grandpa Hu should know about this, right? ”

Hu Cunyi smiled bitterly: "We know about Zhong Lichuan's prescription, and after the prescription was tested by the Tai Hospital, it was unanimously agreed that there was no problem, and it did have the effect of treating insomnia. ”

In the end, he said angrily: "Who would have known that this prescription actually harbored evil intentions. ”

After a long time, Zhou Jin asked with a painful face: "Then why did Pei Xun target the prince's brother?" ”

Su Shi sighed: "That's why Pei Hyun will choose the prince, maybe it has something to do with Your Majesty." ”

Gonggong Hu's face changed, and he scolded: "Please be cautious." ”

Su Shi said: "This is not disrespectful to Your Majesty, I just said that the most approachable person for Pei Hyun at that time was Your Majesty, so he chose to attack the crown prince." ”

This reason also makes sense, and at the same time, everyone suddenly had a very strange feeling, that is, the death of the prince is simply the will of heaven, and the creation makes people.
