After sending Zuo Zhengming away, Qin Hui sat in the study, slightly distracted.

"This time it's related to the army, it's really weird!"

Daddy seemed to be just looking at the portrait that was hanging, but he didn't hear what he was saying.

Qin Hui also followed his father's gaze, and saw the portrait with only the back as he had seen countless times, and he still didn't feel a breath.

"Old man......"

Qin Hui was stunned for a moment and turned around.

"Some people probably should only take it to heart, if they go beyond the boundary, it will bring some unimaginable trouble!"

"What's more...... She's very different from us......"

Qin Hui looked at his father in surprise, he didn't expect that today he would suddenly talk about the woman in the portrait, which was something that had not happened for so many years since the two met.

That year, he was still in the north, not yet the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, seeing countless wars burning all over the Great Song Dynasty, and he was full of ambition and could not be displayed, in a bleak and cold snowy night, he ignored the hunger and cold, looked north and cried, and suddenly a wave of black knights surrounded him.

Those people laughed wantonly, saying words that he didn't understand at all, he was sure that it was neither the Jurchen language of the Jin Kingdom, nor the language of any other small border country, but more like someone from outside this world suddenly broke in.

The long knife that flashed with cold light couldn't stop on it for a moment even if it was heavy snow, and the sudden cavalry made Qin Hui's life immediately become precarious, at that time he forgot his ambitions, forgot the general trend of the world, and only fear in his eyes.

The cavalryman sat on his horse, looked at him contemptuously, then withdrew a piece of meat from behind him, put it to his lips with the blood, and opened his mouth to tear off a piece of bloody meat from it, and ate it straight away, and ate it with relish.

Originally, Qin Hui was still thinking about dying, but the scene in front of him made him fall into the abyss.

At this time, one of them said in an unfamiliar language: "Our ...... Food...... Not much...... You...... Exactly ......"

Qin Hui's whole body seemed to be frozen by something, and he couldn't move at all, so he could only be slaughtered by others, and became the food of this group of foreign people.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was getting confused.

Qin Hui found that he couldn't feel cold at all, and even the sensations in his body were disappearing a little.

But the cavalry stretched out its claws to him and stopped, as if he had discovered something strange.

He held his breath and looked over to see a man in a white cloak walking slowly from the bottom of the mountain that was hidden by the snow.

She seemed to be holding something in her arms.

The eyes of those devilish cavalrymen completely changed the moment they saw the woman coming from a distance, as if they had seen a poisonous snake of a natural enemy, and they panicked and didn't know whether they should run away immediately.

This change came so fast that even Qin Hui couldn't imagine it.

A group of raw and human-eating demons would be so afraid of a lone woman who came on foot in the snow, so what kind of person should the woman be?

The black-clad cavalry fled anyway, barely hesitating.

The woman didn't seem to want to chase them, but just whispered: "Chased here from the Wufu Sea, this time let you escape again, but I won't give up......"

Her voice sounded young, just a little hoarse, like the sound of a magpie chirping

, not the soft language of the ladies of large families.

The woman stood on the snow slope and looked down, as if she was standing on top of Qin Hui's head, but I don't know why, in the confused snowy night, Qin Hui couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but only roughly saw the outline.

But even if he couldn't see her appearance clearly, he could understand that although the woman was still looking at the direction of the cavalry's escape with regret in her eyes at the moment, she was not too anxious, and she was indeed holding something in her arms.

Maybe it was because she found that Qin Hui was looking at her, the woman hesitated slightly, and then she also lowered her head and saw the "thing" in her arms, and couldn't help but be stunned.

She didn't say anything to Qin Hui, she turned around to leave, although Qin Hui's body was still a little stiff under the shock, she struggled desperately to reach the woman.

"Girl...... Qin Huimeng rescued ...... Name unknown...... to pray that he will repay this kindness one day......"

The woman had just taken two steps, and when she heard the heart-rending and sincere voice behind her, she couldn't help but stop again, and her eyes lit up as she looked at the mature baby sleeping in her arms.

"It seems that this is a fate between you and him, anyway, it's not good to follow me all over the world......"

So, she turned her head, looked at Qin Hui and said, "You said you wanted to repay the favor, now there is a chance......

"Raise her for me, like my own daughter, no matter how the world turns, you must protect her!"

The woman came by stepping on the snow, and finally walked away on the snow.

Qin Hui looked at the woman's back that had gone away, holding a baby girl in his arms, stunned, because he had never seen what kind of person the woman was.

He lowered his head and looked at the baby girl in his arms, the baby girl who had been sleeping slowly opened her eyes at this time, and the snow flakes fell, and she even reached out to grab it.

Qin Hui smiled, this is probably the fate that the woman said.

......

Qin Hui sighed, on the night of the heavy snow, the woman turned around and left after leaving a baby girl, he brought the baby girl back alone, raised her in the house, and regarded it as his own, named a "Xi" character.

This is today's prime minister's daughter.

Daddy came to him by chance, but he knew that Daddy could stay by his side, not for fame and fortune, just to protect the baby girl back then, but no matter how he asked over the years, Dad never mentioned the woman of the year, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to mention it today, which reminded Qin Hui of the situation in that snowy night.

Zuo Zhengming was entrusted by Qi Lin to bring the trial results of the case to Prime Minister Qin Hui, which was reasonable and well-founded, and did not say much other than that, which made Qin Hui also feel quite surprised, I heard that this person was a person who was once promoted by Wang Boyan, who usually seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, and is sleek and sophisticated, but there are differences when I see them today.

"Is there any news from the military department?" Qin Hui asked.

Dad nodded and said: "This matter seems to be a point, the people in the Ministry of War said that those weapons and blades were all produced by Marshal Zong Ze himself in the weapon casting place that Marshal Zong Ze personally supervised in Wuzhou, and now this place has been abandoned for many years, and it is said that these things can only be equipped with people who have made outstanding achievements in the war back then......"

Qin Hui narrowed his eyes and pondered, "If that's the case, can the identities of these people be easily ascertained?"

Dad thought for a moment and said, "These people are definitely not ordinary soldiers, at least they are also former military captains, and the people from the military department said ......"

"Most of the dead were Marshal Zongze's old department, and several of them had a relationship with Han Shizhong

With the two marshals making military exploits, Marshal Zong Ze went north and died, Han Shizhong has also been taken over by the imperial court in recent years, and they have been disarmed for many years, I don't know how they suddenly appeared, and designed an ambush for Mrs. and Miss?"

Qin Hui nodded slowly, as if he had thought through something.

"Recently, many things seem to be unrelated, but in fact, they are ambiguous with him, and the ingenuity lies in the fact that everything is pointed, that is to say, Your Majesty has believed a little, but he just remembered the kindness in the change of Miao Liu back then, and did not want to implicate him in the incident, but now several things all point to Han Shizhong, since Miao Liu, His Majesty is deeply afraid of the power in the army, but Han Shizhong is unyielding, and often confronts His Majesty in person, so it seems that this time Han Shizhong is already in a catastrophe ......"

"It's just that now this matter is really plotting behind the scenes, and the people who are fueling the troubles are still in the shadows, and the purpose is not very clear, which is our biggest threat......"

"Isn't the old man a man who has long been suspicious?" asked the old man.

Qin Hui nodded and said: "Although I have doubts, but there is no actual evidence, if that person only came up with this plan because Han Shizhong opposed the peace, then it's okay, I don't know if there is any other deeper purpose?"

"What do you think, sir?"

"Han Shizhong is a famous general in the world, and it is the foundation of the country, if he dies because of this incident, then the Great Song Dynasty will no longer be able to turn the tide except for Yue Pengju, and then it will either be Yue Fei's family alone, or let the Jin people slaughter, this is what we don't want to see......"

Qin Hui took a deep breath and continued: "It seems that this time I can't stay out of it no matter what!"

......

After Qi Lin faced the saint, the emperor summoned the military department again.

The whole thing seems to be clear.

After hearing this, the emperor retired from the head of the military department, thought about it alone for a long time, and slowly spit out a name from his mouth.

"Han Shizhong ......"

Recently, there have been many incidents in Lin'an City, and Wang Huai'an and Liang Ziheng, the Acropolis Division, almost faced each other, and the critical moment was when Han Shizhong and Zhao Ying appeared to calm down the incident.

The tragedy in Nancheng happened bizarrely, and it was finally found out that it was actually done by the Chuzhou army stationed around Lin'an, in order to "kill the good and take the merit", which can be described as a great crime, although the main brains of the Chuzhou army were all killed, and they did not continue to investigate, but who does not know that the Chuzhou army was originally built by Han Shizhong and his wife Liang?

Next, Wan'an Temple plotted to assassinate Qin Hui's wife and daughter, and the killer corpse left at the scene was visited in many places, and it turned out to be Marshal Zongze's subordinates, and several of them were promoted by Han Shizhong.

All the clues pointed to Han Shizhong in the end, how could the emperor not see it?

He closed his eyes and remembered the incident that he would never forget, and the only heir who died in that accident, and that is, after that, he never really trusted any of the generals who led the troops outside, because in his opinion, high merit will lead to disaster.

He clenched the fold tightly in his hand, and sighed: "Old General Han, I often remember your rescue skills back then, even if you are arrogant, you have never been deeply responsible, but why do you want to be so disappointed by me!"

The emperor Huo Ran threw down the fold, and then said loudly: "Come, the decree, because Han Shizhong is deeply involved in the murder of the prime minister, he will be temporarily removed from all his official positions, and Qi Lin, the secretary of Dali Temple, will lead people to search his house and search for relevant evidence, I want to see what kind of person this 'meritorious' old marshal is?"
