Chapter 271: Remnant
The blood in Zhou Jin's whole body seemed to be drained, and her face became extremely pale, even if her eyes were wide open, she couldn't see the person in front of her clearly.
Zhou Yi looked at her coldly: "Now you should know that what Su Shi did was extremely heinous, and I was already extraordinarily gracious when I only put him under house arrest for three months." ”
Zhou Jin took a deep breath, her expression became resolute, and she looked directly at Zhou Yi: "Has my father forgotten that everything Su Shi did was not for his own selfish interests, but for another purpose?" ”
Zhou Yu and Zhou Jin's pupils shrank, and they couldn't help but look at Zhou Jin at the same time, because Zhou Jin's words contained too many meanings.
Zhou Yi was unmoved, and said lightly: "What is Su Shi's purpose?" ”
"Could it be that my father forgot about Pei Hyun?"
Although this is the first time Zhou Yu and Zhou Jin have heard the name Pei Hyun, this name has been deeply engraved in their minds.
"What do you want to say?" Zhou Yi's expression became extremely cold: "Do you want to say that a remnant of Nanjing can cause trouble to my country?" Can one Pei Hyun shake the foundation of Daqian in Daqian? ”
Zhou Jin's blood was surging at this time, and she said loudly: "Could it be that my father forgot how the prince's brother died?" ”
This sentence seemed to sound a thunderbolt in the ears of Zhou Yu and Zhou Jin, and they looked at Zhou Jin in shock, and their breathing suddenly stopped.
"Su Shi kept saying that the prince died at the hands of Pei Hyun, what about the evidence?" Zhou Yi's tone became cold: "All this is just his family's words, and he can't come up with half a bit of evidence at all." ”
"Pei Hyun has personally admitted that the prince's brother was designed by him, isn't this evidence?"
The prince actually died of murder!
Zhou Yu and Zhou Jin listened to it from the side, their scalps tingled, and they couldn't believe what they heard.
"Apart from Su Shi, who else can confirm Pei Hyun's words?"
Zhou Jin was speechless at first, but tried his best to argue: "Du Ziqi has already admitted that he was instructed by Pei Hyun to play a haunted scene in the Red Plum Pavilion with Cui Peng and Tang Ci, if Pei Hyun is not harboring evil intentions, why do you want to pretend to be a ghost?" ”
"Pei Hyun is hiding evil intentions, Du Ziqi, Cui Peng, and Tang Ci have negative graces, damn it!" Zhou Yi's tone became solemn: "And Su Shi was bewitched by Pei Xun, alarmist, and confused people's hearts for personal gain, and his crime is not small. ”
Zhou Jin looked at his father in disbelief: "Su Shi was bewitched by Pei Xun? Confusing people's minds for personal gain? ”
"Isn't it?" Zhou Yi slapped the imperial case violently, and his angry voice suddenly sounded in the palace: "Qianqiu has hundreds of millions of taels of silver, and Qianqiu Merchant has controlled the grain in the capital again, what does he want to Su Shi?" ”
Zhou Jin's face turned pale again, and he looked at his father sadly. Zhou Yi's heart softened, and his tone became gentle.
"Pei Xun is a remnant of Nanjing, and Daqian has a hatred for him for destroying his family and destroying the country, so how can he tell the truth to Su Shi?"
Zhou Jin was stunned, and his heart suddenly became dazed: "What does the father mean?" ”
"Have you ever wondered why Bae Hyun wanted to look for Su Shi before he died, instead of someone else?"
Zhou Jin hadn't thought about this question, and he hadn't thought of a reasonable reason, but now when he heard his father mention it again, he had to shake his head gently.
"Does my father know?"
Zhou Yi's eyes suddenly became floating, as if he remembered some forgotten past, and at the same time, his expression was extremely gloomy.
After a long time, he seemed to come back to his senses, looked at Zhou Jin, and said slowly: "You go down first, my will has been made, and you don't have to plead for Su Shi anymore." In the future, I will take good care of the Qianqiu business. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yu and Zhou Jin were shocked at the same time, Zhou Yu hurriedly stepped forward, but as soon as he called his father, Zhou Yi waved his hand and interrupted his words. At the same time, there was a tired look on his face: "You all go down, I'm a little tired." ”
Even if Zhou Yu and Zhou Jin were unwilling in their hearts, they had to suppress the countless doubts in their hearts at this time and act according to their words.
Su Shi stood in the Crane Pavilion, looking at the sunset red in the sky, and the whole person was like a statue.
Because things were completely out of his plan, he didn't even know what was wrong.
Qin Zhidao had already presented his plan to Zhou Yi, but there was absolutely no plan to put himself under house arrest for three months.
Why did Zhou Yi do this?
Su Shi couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a whole day.
The remnant sun fell little by little in Su Shi's sight, and the sky and the earth instantly became dim.
Su Shi sighed and walked out of the Xianhe Pavilion, and Lin Mo immediately followed.
"Are the people in the house very flustered?"
Lin Mo shook his head.
Su Shi was a little strange: "Really? ”
Lin Mo smiled: "Most of the people in the mansion are the general's subordinates, and I haven't seen any storms." ”
"What's going to eat tonight?"
"I only know that today's dinner is very rich, as if there are five meat and six vegetables."
Su Shi was even more surprised: "Why is he so generous today?" ”
Lin Mo just smiled and didn't answer him.
Zhou Jin returned to the dormitory, his face became extremely ugly, Wen Tingfang silently made tea for him, and then stood quietly aside.
After a long time, Zhou Jin raised his head and said slowly: "Father handed over the Qianqiu business name to the imperial sister to take care of. ”
Although Wen Tingyan didn't speak, his eyes became extremely deep.
"Is this a rumor or is it a foregone conclusion?"
"My father said it to Pingle in front of me and King Qi."
Wen Tingfang couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness, it seems that Your Majesty's house arrest of Su Shi is not as simple as we imagined. ”
Zhou Jin nodded silently, and suddenly asked, "Do you know a person named Pei Hyun?" ”
"Bae Hyun? Who is it? ”
Wen Tingfang frowned, because he knew that His Highness would not mention this person for no reason.
However, Zhou Jin just shook his head: "The imperial sister mentioned this person in the Imperial Palace just now, I look at my father's expression, I should also know this person, and also said that this Pei Xun is the remnant of Nanjing." And the reason why the royal sister wants to mention this person is because he seems to be related to the death of the crown prince. ”
Wen Tingfang was taken aback when he heard this: "The remnants of Nanjing? Hasn't Nanjing been extinct for decades, how can there still be remnants? And didn't the crown prince die of disease? Why is the deceased prince mentioned today? ”
"I don't know the specific inside story, and Su Shi seems to be involved."
Wen Tingfang was stunned and said: "It's been ten years since the prince died, and Su Shi was just a child at that time, how could he be involved?" ”
Zhou Jin sighed: "I also want to know the reason. ”
Zhou Yu returned to the dormitory, and the person in the mirror no longer smiled, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle vulture.
At the foot of the stairs stood a young man, looking at the stone steps in front of him with a flat expression.
"Within three days, I need to know who Bae Hyun is?"
