Houfu, the night is already late, Ou Yueyue hasn't fallen asleep yet, because Hou Baowu hasn't come back yet, how can she sleep.

Ou Yueyue knew very well in her heart that Hou San's beheading in public was a big blow to Hou Baowu, how many times she wanted to tell Hou Baowu the truth, but Hou Baowu was still young, and Hou San's mission this time was very dangerous, she really didn't dare to make a branch, so she could only let Hou Baowu suffer a little grievance.

"Why haven't you come back yet?" Ou Yueyue looked at the moonlight, and then at the tightly closed door. She knows the grievances that Hou Baowu has suffered during this time, and she is very pleased that her son can survive strongly, but she is still a little uneasy, after all, if Hou Baowu has to bear such a thing at such a young age, her heart as a mother is always like a big stone.

Parents always habitually imagine their children as weak, and if they are faced with things at the same time, they will not have any retreat, but if they are replaced by children, it will be different, if they can rather block a wind and rain for their children, so that they can grow up like little flowers in the greenhouse, without having to endure any wind and snow.

In fact, that is not the best for children, more examples are already true, but in the face of the same choice, parents will still choose to protect their children rather than let them face it alone, but it is a pity that parents in the world are hearted.

"Clang......

There was finally movement on the other side of the door, and the tension on Ou Yueyue's face was hidden, and she walked quickly towards the door.

It was Hou Baowu who came back, because of Hou San's matter, he got the permission to live in the barracks, in fact, it was precisely because of Hou San's matter, although Hou Baowu was not demoted or removed, but he was in the Boy Scout for being refrigerated by officials at all levels, and his troops basically can't receive any important tasks now, which is really much worse than before.

"Hey, mother, haven't you slept yet?" Hou Baowu and Qi Qi stole the information in the restaurant, because they were so engrossed that they completely forgot the time, if the restaurant hadn't closed and invited them out, they were afraid that they would have spent the night there tonight.

Ou Yueyue sniffed, and a strong smell of wine came to her face: "Have you drunk?"

"Well, drank some. Hou Baowu replied honestly, but he didn't say that he was drinking with Qi Qi.

Ou Yueyue glanced at Hou Baowu distressedly, her mouth moved, she wanted to say something but held back, and sighed softly: "It's not early, go and rest." ”

Ou Yueyue's hesitation turned into a kind of sadness in Hou Baowu's eyes. He was very sad when his father was beheaded, and his mother was also so sad.

"Mother. Hou Baowu couldn't help but throw himself into Ou Yueyue's arms, because of Ou Yueyue's good genetic inheritance, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was already about the same height as Ou Yueyue, but he was still just a child in Ou Yueyue's heart.

"Mother, you don't have to be afraid, from now on I will protect you. I'm not going to let you suffer any grievances. ”

"Good boy, good boy. ”

Ou Yueyue's tears finally couldn't help but slide, she was tears of joy, her child had finally grown up.

"According to the information, the day Uncle Hou San received the gold coins should be the seventeenth, where were you on that day?" In the backyard of the palace, Qi Qi and Hou Baowu got together again. They had read the information they had stolen from Zhang Jiangliang countless times, but what they could get was much less than they had imagined. Most of the information had already been published, except for some details that were vague and they had to look it up again if they wanted to figure it out.

Fortunately, there is at least a direction that can be verified, and there is no need to know nothing and run around like a headless fly like before. ...,

Hou Baowu recalled: "I should have been in the army that day, yes, in the army. ”

"What about Aunt Yueyue?" Because Ou Yueyue would enter the palace from time to time to chat with Red Leaves, Qi Qi and Ou Yueyue were also very familiar, and they were called Auntie when they met.

"Mother, she didn't seem to be at home that day. I remember she said she was going to incense. ”

Hearing Hou Baowu say this, Qi Qi also remembered that Hongye also went to incense that day, and she and Ou Yueyue should go together.

"How could it be such a coincidence, you are not at home, and Aunt Yueyue is not at home, and then someone will send gold coins. And the person who sent the gold coin, Uncle Hou San refused to say who it was, and the strangest thing was that Zhang Jiangliang received a report, indicating that someone sent gold coins to Uncle Hou San at this time of day. ”

Hou Baowu said: "What does that mean?"

Qi Qi glanced at Hou Baowu and said, "Didn't you already guess it." ”

Hou Baowu said with a solemn face: "It seems that this is a bureau, a bureau dedicated to Daddy. But why didn't Daddy want to say the man's name? Who could that person be, and who would be the person reporting it?"

Qi Qi said: "This is where we need to investigate." We have to find out the gold coins and the ones who report them, so that we can know the truth of the whole thing. As long as there is enough evidence, we can overturn the case for Uncle Hou and give him and your family justice. ”

Qi Qi was already enthusiastic at this time, and he didn't think about what impact their reversal would have on Hu Wei if things were really as they guessed.

"But where should we start?" Hou Baowu was very confused, he wanted to know who killed Hou San, but he was a little afraid to know, because Qi Qi may not have thought of that possibility, but he did.

Hou Baowu thought of whether this matter would have anything to do with Hu Wei, because only Hu Wei could make Hou San not say anything even if he suffered a big loss. Except for Hu Wei, he couldn't think of anyone else who would let Hou San do that.

"No, it certainly won't be like that. His father is a general under His Majesty, and His Majesty has no reason to harm his father. ”

Hou Baowu was frightened by his conjecture, he would rather be any possibility than this possibility, it was really terrible.

"Xiao Wuzi, what are you doing in a daze?" Qi Qi saw that Hou Baowu was stupid and his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but push him worriedly.

"Oh, what were you talking about just now?" Hou Baowu retracted his thoughts, he had already made a decision in his heart, no matter what it really looked like, he had to find out clearly, if it was really Hu Wei's doing...... Then you have to find out more!

Qi Qi said: "I said that we should start with your house." Although he and your mother were not at home that day, there must have been someone else in your family who saw the person who came to deliver the gold coins, so we started to check on him. ”

"Uncle Quan, do you really see that the person who came that day is a woman?"

After several secret investigations, Qi Qi and Hou Baowu finally made some discoveries, and Uncle Quan, who was guarding the door, saw the person who came to deliver the gold coins that day, and recalled that it was a woman.

Uncle Quan said: "Young master, I've lived so long, can't I tell the difference between men and women." That woman was very beautiful, even if she was no worse than a lady. ”

Qi Qi saw that Hou Baowu was always entangled in the problems of men and women, and couldn't help but push him, and asked Uncle Quan: "Then have you ever seen such a woman before, or have you heard her name?"

"I wasn't there when she was talking to the master, I don't know what she said, I don't know what she called, but ......"

"But what?"

"Don't worry, let me think about it, when you ask me this, I seem to have a vague sense of who she looks like. ”

Qi Qi and Hou Baowu were overjoyed when they heard this, if Uncle Quan could remember who this person was, then it would be easy to do. ...,

Uncle Quan thought for a while, but shook his head and said, "I can't remember." ”

Hou Baowu suddenly became anxious and said, "Uncle Quan, you can't be like this. All my hopes are in you, you must think about me, no matter what. ”

"Xiao Wuzi, don't be like this, let Uncle Quan think slowly, this matter is not urgent, often the more anxious you are, the more you can't think of anything. ”

Qi Qi was also very anxious, but he still had to appease Hou Baowu. After all, Uncle Quan is such an old man, forcing him out of a bad place, then there is really no need to check anything.

Uncle Quan said that he couldn't think of it, but he didn't give up. Although he is not a member of the Hou family, but Hou San saved his son's life, he can be said to be loyal to Hou San, and someone asked Hou San about it before, but he didn't get Hou San's instructions, so he didn't say anything, and now Hou Baowu came to ask him, and he said that he had seen someone who gave gold coins that day.

"I can't really remember. Uncle Quan made himself sweat profusely, but he didn't think of anything and didn't say anything, but his whole brain was confused.

Qi Qi saw that it was not a way to force Uncle Quan like this, and quickly turned his head, recalling what Chu Zhu taught when he used to learn things from Chu Zhu.

"Uncle Quan, you don't have to worry, let's think about it together, little by little. Qi Qi guided Uncle Quan and said, "You slowly recall, where did you see that person you feel familiar?"

Uncle Quan replied: "It should be in this mansion." ”

"Surely you've seen it in the mansion?" Qi Qi continued to lead.

"I haven't been out of the house for three or four years, and where else can I go but here. ”

Qi Qi and Hou Baowu glanced at each other, so this person is still an acquaintance of the Hou San family. It seems that the scope is a little smaller, and I believe that the truth can be found out soon.

"Uncle Quan, can you recall that the person you think looks like is a man or a woman?"

Hearing Qi Qi ask such a question, Hou Baowu couldn't help but be a little disapproving. The person who sent the gold coin was a woman, and the one who looked like her must also be a woman, could it be that it would still be a man?

Uncle Quan's reaction was completely different from Hou Baowu's, he was shocked when he heard this, and said violently: "It's a man, I remember, I know who that person looks like......

"Like whom?" Qi Qi and Hou Baowu asked in unison.

Uncle Quan looked at Qi Qi with a strange expression, then at Hou Baowu, and said a name that made them all stupid.

"Qi Qi, do you say Uncle Quan is mistaken, how can that woman look like Uncle Zhu Daneng?"

Hou Baowu didn't fully come to his senses until Uncle Quan left. Uncle Quan thought about it, and actually said Zhu Daneng's name. Zhu Daneng often has a relationship with the Hou three families, and although Uncle Quan is a subordinate, he often meets with Zhu Daneng, so he naturally has an impression of Zhu Daneng. The person who gave Hou San the gold coin was the ninth girl, she and Zhu Daneng really looked like husband and wife, but it was really embarrassing to associate them together.

Qi Qi didn't answer Hou Baowu's question, he was thinking about another thing in his heart. It is not impossible for that woman to look like Zhu Daneng, if she is Zhu Xiaoneng, it is very possible.

However, will Zhu Xiaoneng harm Hou San? This doesn't make sense.

"Xiao Wuzi, you wait for me at home, it's best to wait with Uncle Quan, I'll bring someone here, you must let Uncle Quan recognize it to see if it's her!"

After Qi Qi finished speaking, he ran out, whether it was Zhu Xiaoneng or not, he must figure out this matter.

"Qiqi, I can't find you anywhere in the past few days. Zhu Xiaoneng couldn't help pouting when he saw Qi Qi. She couldn't see anyone in Qiqi these days, which made her very dissatisfied. ...,

Qi Qi said with a smile: "Things are busy these days, don't talk so much, it's rare to be free today, let's go and play with Hou Baowu." ”

Qi Qi was anxious to let Uncle Quan recognize him, and he didn't think much about it, so he pulled Zhu Xiaoneng and left.

"Hey, I said you light, just go, why are you in such a hurry. Hou Baowu is not a big girl, are you afraid that he will be chased away. ”

Qi Qi also knew that he was in a hurry, so he could only be patient, chatting with Zhu Xiaoneng all the way, while intentionally or unintentionally mentioning some things about Hou San. Seeing Zhu Xiaoneng's reaction seemed to be normal, he was slightly relieved.

Qi Qi was in such a hurry that Hou Baowu didn't know who he was going to bring, so he could only wait at home. After waiting for an hour, I saw Qi Qi and Zhu Xiaoneng coming over together from a distance.

Hou Baowu only knew that he was stupid when he saw Zhu Xiaoneng, a woman who looked like Zhu Daneng, wasn't that Zhu Xiaoneng.

"Uncle Quan, let's see if it's that girl?" Hou Baowu's voice was a little cold, if it was really Zhu Xiaoneng who harmed Hou San, then he would definitely not let him go. Whoever Hou Baowu was not so angry, he had saved Zhu Xiaoneng's life, if Zhu Xiaoneng really did that, wouldn't that be revenge. Being stabbed in the back by the enemy, that's weird, but letting a friend stab you in the back is really painful.

"It's like, but not so young, the woman is more mature......"

Hou Baowu heard Uncle Quan say this, and he understood that the woman who gave Hou San the gold coin turned out to be the ninth girl, Zhu Xiaoneng's mother.

"Qi Qi, what do you say we should do now?" Hou Baowu sat there for a long time, and then asked Qi Qi.

Qi Qi sighed and said, "I know what you're thinking, but I can tell you very seriously, this will definitely not be done by my father!"

Qi Qi is not a fool, the ninth girl has only been here for a long time, how can she have a deep hatred with Hou San, and she wants to harm Hou San like this. The only possibility is that Zhu Daneng asked her to do this, and Hou San didn't say who sent him the money until he died, and it is unlikely that it is Zhu Daneng who wants to maintain, but Zhu Daneng's superior, Hu Wei, the lord of the Han and Tang Empires, and Qi Qi's father.

Hou Baowu muttered: "Otherwise, this matter will end here." ”

Hou Baowu didn't really stop investigating, even if it was now certain that Hu Wei was the starter, he also wanted to know why Hu Wu wanted to kill Hou San. He said that he didn't check, because he didn't want Qi Qi to continue to check with him, that was Qi Qi's father!

Qi Qi said angrily: "Do you still think that my father did this? No, this matter must be investigated, if it is really my father who did it, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

Qi Qi absolutely didn't believe that Hu Wei did this, although Hu Wei had told him the story of the bird hiding the bow before, but when Hu Wei told the story, his face was full of sadness, which showed that he didn't agree with that approach. The enemy country was broken, the loyal ministers died, Qi Qi did not believe and did not want such a thing to happen in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

"Do you really want to continue?" Hou Baowu was very moved. He didn't know if he could make such a decision if he was Qi Qi, maybe he wouldn't be able to do it like Qi Qi.

"I have already said that this matter must be investigated, and I will never stop until the investigation is revealed. If you still don't believe me, I can swear ......"

"No, you don't have to, I trust you. Qi Qi, no matter what the outcome is in the future, my life is yours!" Hou Baowu said very seriously: "The matter between adults has nothing to do with our friendship, we are the best brothers in life and death!"

"Well said, we are brothers in life and death. Come, brother, let's work together to find out the truth of the whole thing!"

The two future stars of the Han and Tang empires formed a sincere friendship at this moment, and in the decades that followed, they, like their fathers, never betrayed each other in their lives. Many historians can't understand why Hou Baowu is like his father Hou San, no matter what the circumstances, are loyal to the Han and Tang Hu families, because they have not experienced the baptism of life and death like their fathers, and they do not have the experience of two people having one life.

Qi Qi and Hou Baowu were also aware of the severity of the situation, and since they decided to investigate, they must have a set of plans, and they must not expose the target until they obtain the true image.

In fact, the one who worries most about this will not be Hou Baowu, but Qi Qi. He wanted to know the truth of the whole incident more than Hou Baowu, and he wanted to justify Hu Wei.
