In the Taiyi Palace, the second prince Zhou Jin sat casually on the chair, with a light smile on his jade-like face, and he looked at Wen Tingfang gently.

"Did the imperial brother leave the palace early in the morning?"

Although Wen Tingfang was thin, his demeanor was calm, he lifted the dust in his hand, bowed his head slightly, and replied: "I'm afraid that King Qi has arrived at Cuiyun County at this time." ”

Zhou Jin stared out the window and said disapprerovingly: "Such a trivial matter, just let the people below do it, the imperial brother is so nervous, and he has to go out in person?" ”

Wen Ting said squarely: "This is by no means a trivial matter, and it is also worthy of King Qi to go out in person." ”

Zhou Jin sighed, took his gaze back from a distance, looked at Wen Tingfang, and asked with interest: "What does Gonggong Wen mean by this?" ”

"This time, the dispute between Dongyuan and Qianqiu is not just a business dispute, I believe that it is King Qi who will personally come out when he sees this."

"Father?"

"Yes, your majesty." Wen Tingfang said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that Su Shi is going to deal with the Dongyuan Reservoir, and he is willing to take advantage of the situation to give it to him, and his intentions are intriguing. ”

Zhou Jin also looked thoughtful, and asked slowly: "Gonggong Wen thinks that his father's move is to beat the emperor's brother?" Or does it mean something else? ”

"The sacred heart is unpredictable, and the old slave doesn't dare to guess." Wen Tingfang said: "But it's not just about beating King Qi. ”

Zhou Jin's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say, "Could it be ......?"

Wen Tingfang interrupted him lightly: "Before there is any evidence, King Zhao must not guess out of thin air and make judgments, so as not to misjudge the situation." ”

Zhou Jin immediately said: "What Gonggong Wen said is extremely true, this king has been taught. ”

Wen Tingfang was silent for a while, and continued: "I'm afraid that even King Qi didn't guess what His Majesty meant, and what kind of chess piece does this Su Shi belong to in the eyes of His Majesty?" The reason why King Qi went out in person is probably also to figure out this. ”

When Su was mentioned, Zhou Jin's eyes changed again and became extremely interesting, and he smiled: "Who would have thought that a gentleman who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it would now become a poet, and now he is making trouble in the capital." ”

As he spoke, he asked curiously, "Can Gonggong Wen see this person clearly?" ”

Wen Tingfang shook his head slightly: "The old slave can't see through it. ”

Zhou Jin asked again: "Su Shi's deal with the Dongyuan Quality Library, is it a personal grudge or is it instigated?" If it is really a personal grudge, is it really for the sake of the three Qinglou women? If so, who is behind it? ”

Wen Tingfang didn't answer him, but suddenly asked about something: "I heard that Gonggong Hu once went to the General's Mansion one night?" ”

Zhou Jin nodded slightly and said, "Not bad." But it's been a long time since I heard about it. ”

Wen Tingfang said lightly: "I don't know what happened to Gonggong Hu's visit to the general's mansion at night?" ”

"I don't know." Zhou Jin sighed: "No matter what method I use, I can't find out." ”

"I wonder who else was in the General's Mansion that night?"

"In addition to Gonggong Hu, there were also Princess Pingle and Qin Zhidao father and son who went in and out of the General's Mansion that night."

Wen Tingfang said slowly: "Now Princess Pingle and the Qin Mansion seem to be on Su Shi's side. ”

Although Wen Tingfang's meaning had been clearly expressed, Zhou Jin's brows slowly wrinkled, and he pondered: "Could it be that they were really discussing this matter that night?" Why did you take the Donggengen Reservoir to operate? ”

Then he shook his head and said to himself, "No, absolutely not. ”

Wen Tingfang asked, "Why does Your Highness have this inference?" ”

Zhou Jin said slowly: "Why did my father trust Su Shi? Although he already had some talents at that time, how could his father trust Su Shi to hand over such a major matter to Su Shi. ”

"Don't forget Princess Pingle." Wen Tingfang reminded: "Maybe Su Shi is just charging into battle, and Princess Pingle is the one who controls the situation behind the scenes." ”

Zhou Jin smiled: "Impossible. From what I know about Pingle, she doesn't have the ability or the courage to move the East Source Reservoir. The only thing she could do was to carefully maintain the current balance. ”

After laughing, he continued to analyze: "Although Lord Qin is insightful in land and political affairs, he is not good at business, and he doesn't disdain it, so the person in charge of Qianqiu Quality Bank must be Su Shi who we can't see clearly." ”

"But ......"

Wen Tingfang asked, "But what?" ”

"The reason why my father wants to support Su Shi must be related to what happened that day."

Wen Tingfang said: "Your Highness is referring to Su Shi's disappearance?" ”

"Not bad." Zhou Jin bowed slightly: "Su Shichen disappeared and was found at noon, and it is said that Su Shi slept for three full hours after returning home." ”

"Why did Su Shi disappear? What happened to him during this time? Why did Gonggong Hu appear in the General's Mansion? Maybe only by thinking about these things clearly, you can know what Su Shi's real purpose is, and why his father supports him so much. ”

Wen Tingfang nodded slowly, but sighed again: "Although there are many people who know what happened that day, there are not many who can make them speak. ”

Zhou Jin suddenly said, "How is Qin Yue?" It may not be easy to get others to speak, but it shouldn't be difficult to get Qin Yue to speak. ”

Wen Tingfang said: "Qin Yue has already left the capital, and it is said that he will go out to travel, and he will return to Beijing after half a year." ”

Zhou Jin smiled slightly after hearing this, and said: "Qin Zhidao is worthy of being an old fox, knowing that Qin Yue is not deeply involved in the matter and is easy to leak news, so he simply hid him." ”

But suddenly, he wondered, "Half a year later?" Why did you come back after half a year? ”

Wen Tingfang sighed: "I can't figure it out, half a year later is the wedding day of Su Shi and Qin Nan, how can Qin Yue rush back close to his sister's wedding date." ”

Zhou Jin fell into contemplation again, and after a long time, he said slowly: "It seems that in the past half a year, Su Shi is only afraid of setting off a huge wave that will splash the sky. And Qin Zhidao asked Qin Yue to leave the capital, firstly, to avoid him from leaking the news, but more importantly, he wanted him to stay away from the rights and wrongs of the capital. ”

A trace of consternation suddenly flashed on Wen Tingfang's originally calm face: "Is Su Shi's attack on the Dongyuan Reservoir just the beginning?" ”

Zhou Jin smiled and said: "I'm afraid that the imperial brother also thought of this, so he came to Cuiyun County in person, because there is no room for loss in this opening battle." ”

Then he looked at Wen Tingfang and asked, "Look at the opening battle, who will win the Dongyuan Qualitative Warehouse or the Qianqiu Qualitative Warehouse?" ”

Wen Tingfang thought about it repeatedly in his heart, and after a long time he replied: "If you want me to bet, I will bet on Dongyuan Quality." ”

Zhou Jin smiled and said, "Then I'll bet on the Qianqiu Pledge." ”
