Overwhelming mountains and rivers

Chu Xuanzhao walked quickly, approaching the main hall, but his pace slowed down a bit, he still hesitated a bit when he thought of his thoughts for Shen Qingjun.

He took a deep breath, stepped into the main hall, and slightly cupped his hands towards Shen Qingjun, "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

"fine."

Chu Xuanzhao sat down beside him, because the two were too close, and he had just discerned his own thoughts, he felt a little uncomfortable, but tried his best to hold back and not move, trying to maintain a nonchalant appearance.

When he sat down, Shen Qingjun found out that his eyes were black and blue, and asked involuntarily, "Did you not rest well last night?"

"Ah? Well. I was thinking about the affairs of the court, and I was thinking too much, and it would be dawn before I knew it." Chu Xuanzhao's eyes were hesitant, but he didn't dare to fall on Shen Qingjun.

Shen Qingjun is confident that he has some experience in judging people, but in the past few days, he feels that he can't understand Chu Xuanzhao more and more.

Some things, some reactions, are really strange, but they are not big things that interfere with the business.It was obviously that person, that plan, but people were puzzled everywhere.

Just like now, seeing his erratic eyes, Shen Qingjun can tell that what he said is perfunctory to himself, but he can't figure out the reason why he did so.But he didn't care about those, besides, he believed in Chu Xuanzhao.

Believe that at least he will not be against himself.

So, if you don't understand those unimportant things, just don't think about them.

Not caring about small details, not being too demanding, has always been the principle that Shen Qingjun holds to the overall situation.

This also inadvertently gave the two of them a lifetime chance.

Because if Shen Qingjun really went to investigate at this time, with his sensitivity and character, I'm afraid, it will really be like Chu Xuanzhao thought, there will be no future.

Shen Qingjun stopped thinking about it, and turned to another topic, "Feng Er received the news this morning that Hou Zhizhou died."

"Hou Zhizhou?" Chu Xuanzhao immediately understood, "It's King Teng."

Hou Zhizhou took the blame for King Teng, and King Teng would naturally choose to avoid future troubles in order to be safe.

"Hmm. It is said that he committed suicide by biting his tongue." It was just a rumor, but both Chu Xuanzhao and Shen Qingjun knew what it was.

"Then, Hou Qing?" Chu Xuanzhao thought of the dandy who he was eager to curry favor with when he arrived in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Hou Qing is missing."

Missing?The so-called disappearance is probably more ominous than good.As long as you threaten King Teng, King Teng will always have a way to make you never speak.

Chu Xuanzhao felt a little emotional for a while, although Hou Qing is a dandy, he is just a dandy, he has never done anything treacherous and evil, and he still has good intentions in his heart, unexpectedly...

"Hou Qing's disappearance is probably not what you thought." Shen Qingjun slightly curled his lips when he thought of his judgment after getting the news.

"Oh?"

"King Lian."

"King Lian? You mean that King Lian saved Hou Qing?"

"No, I mean, King Lian killed Hou Qing."

"What? How is it possible? Why did he want to silence King Teng?" Chu Xuanzhao was extremely puzzled, although he also believed that Shen Qingjun would not make such a judgment for no reason, but it sounded too unbelievable.

"Oh, silence? After hearing what happened, I'm afraid you won't think so." Shen Qingjun picked up a chopstick and put it into the rice bowl, and called to the door, "Feng Er."

"Son."

"Tell the prince one more time about the news you reported in the morning."

Shen Qingjun is not used to talking while eating, so he took advantage of Feng Er's report and started eating by himself.

"Yes. News came from Qianjilou this morning that Hou Zhizhou and his son were imprisoned at that time. Because Hou Qing didn't know about his father, he was only thrown out by the staff. After that, he kept saying that he Father must have been wronged. Later Hou Zhizhou committed suicide in prison, and when Hou Qing knew about it, he was even more convinced that his father was murdered. However, according to the information obtained, Hou Qing should not have any real evidence."

"What happened later?" Chu Xuanzhao asked.

That's right, according to Hou Qing's situation, it is really impossible to know what's going on inside, and most of the complaints for his father are just because he can't accept the result or because his father complained about something in prison.

In that case, even though King Teng would kill Hou Zhizhou, he would not kill Hou Qing again. Not only would this not achieve the purpose of silence, but it would make people suspect that there was really some grievance.

"Later, the emperor also heard about Hou Qing's grievance, but because he was still in a rage, he ignored Hou Qing and ordered Dali Temple to order Hou Zhizhou to commit suicide in fear of crime. Unexpectedly, the building received news yesterday , Said that Hou Qing suddenly disappeared, and the subordinates all guessed that he should have been killed."

"Hmm..." Chu Xuanzhao held his chin and straightened it out. According to this, it is indeed not what King Teng did. If King Teng wanted to stop him, he would never wait for him to make such a fuss that even the emperor knew about it. to kill him.

King Teng didn't touch him, because he expected him to be helpless, and he didn't want to take the initiative to provoke his upper body.

"The emperor has personally intervened in this matter. If Hou Zhizhou died, it is better to say that he committed suicide in fear of crime. If Hou Qing also died, then with the emperor's suspicious nature..." Shen Qingjun didn't finish his sentence, but Chu Xuanzhao understood His unfinished business.

The emperor was suspicious. After Hou Qing died, he would reconsider the content of Hou Qing's previous grievances, wondering if there was really something else going on.

"If King Lian killed Hou Qing in order to arouse the emperor's suspicion, it is not impossible." After hearing Feng Er's report, Chu Xuanzhao also understood that King Lian was indeed the most likely person to kill Hou Qing.

"My lord, a girl came from outside the mansion and said she wanted to see Mr. Mo Yuan." The guard hurried in and interrupted the conversation of several people in the house.

girl?See Shen Qingjun?

Chu Xuanzhao glanced at Shen Qingjun beside him, endured it, endured it again, and then tried to ask in a calm tone, "Did she say who she is?"

"Go back to the lord, the subordinate asked, and she said, she said you don't need to know."

I don't have to know?Good one I don't have to know!

Chu Xuanzhao stood up and was about to go out, but was held by Shen Qingjun with one hand, "It's Zhu Qing." Then he turned to look at the guard, "Go and let her in."

When Chu Xuanzhao was pulled by him, he ran away in anger, staring blankly at his hand holding his arm, wishing that he would never let go.

However, he was doomed to be disappointed, Shen Qingjun just pulled lightly, and soon continued to concentrate on eating.Chu Xuanzhao raised his other hand to cover the sleeve he had pulled, smiled, and sat down again.

"Pavilion, son!"

As soon as Zhu Qing entered the door, she rushed straight towards Shen Qingjun. Seeing that Chu Xuanzhao was about to stop her, she hurriedly stopped and bowed hastily, "Master! Why didn't you talk to me and Ah Yuan?" Just say it and leave? Or follow this Hualuobo! Young master, he is not a good person, you must not let him be deceived!"

"Didn't I ask Qingzhu to tell you, didn't you come here too?" Shen Qingjun was always very conniving towards Zhu Qing and Bi Yuan, seeing her here now, he didn't have the slightest thought of blaming her.

"Yeah, Ah Yuan and I rushed to the capital as soon as we received the news, we just arrived." Zhu Qing curled her lips.

"Miss Zhu Qing, have you eaten yet? Why don't you sit down and eat together?" Chu Xuanzhao saw that it was indeed Zhu Qing, and his attitude improved a lot. He rubbed his chin and changed his mind. It is said... that if you want to please someone, you have to To please the people around him first?

After Zhu Qing heard his words, she turned her head to look at Chu Xuanzhao, "Hua Luobo! You, you actually set your mind on the pavilion master!"

The somewhat irritable Zhu Qing even forgot to change her address, so she glared at Chu Xuanzhao.

Fortunately, no one noticed for a while, and they were all cronies of the palace, so it didn't cause any bad consequences.

"Ah Qing, don't mess around."

Chu Xuanzhao looked at Zhu Qing who was frowning with cold eyebrows in front of him, forget it, let's think long-term about pleasing the people around him, I don't want to die before I get out of school!

"Ah Qing, where's Ah Yuan?"

Zhu Qing looked at the people around her, and hesitated to speak.

It is a matter of time before Shen Qingjun's identity as the master of the Chenyin Pavilion is revealed in the palace, and now that Mo Yi and the others know it, Shen Qingjun has no intention of continuing to cover it up.

"It's okay, let's just say it."

"Yes. As soon as we arrived in the capital, Ah Yuan went to the temporary residence established by Geli in the capital, and I first came to the palace to meet the pavilion master."

Chu Xuanzhao knew that Chenyin Pavilion had many temporary residences similar to branch pavilions in various places, for them to accept transactions from various places and provide the pavilion with a place to travel.When he first returned to the capital, he also thought about asking him if he wanted to get in touch with the branch cabinet, but Shen Qingjun didn't mention it, and he didn't ask after that.

"Well, if you have nothing to do, go back. The capital is no better than Jiangnan, and if you make a mistake, you may be killed. You don't need to stay here with me." Shen Qingjun didn't want them to follow him, so When I came, I just ordered Qingzhu to pass on a message.

"Then we can't go back! It's all Hualuobu's fault, pavilion master, why don't we go back to the pavilion together?" After asking, Zhu Qing also knew that Shen Qingjun couldn't agree.Although she has a quick temper, she doesn't know everything.She naturally knew that Chu Xuanzhao was not a real flower radish, and she also knew what he was asking the Pavilion Master to do, but she just didn't want the Pavilion Master to go into this muddy water.

Zhu Qing persisted and refused to leave, but Shen Qingjun had no choice but to make a compromise.

"It's okay if you don't go back to the pavilion. However, it's impossible to stay in Prince Xin's Mansion. In this case, you and Ah Yuan can stay in the branch pavilion in the capital."

"Alright then." No matter how reluctant Zhu Qing was, she also knew that Shen Qingjun would not be able to go back with her, and she also knew how inconvenient it would be for her to stay with him in the palace.However, as long as she can stay in the capital, she and Ah Yuan will accept it.

"Then, if the Pavilion Master needs us, you must tell us!" Zhu Qing turned to look at Chu Xuanzhao, "Hua Luobo, if you dare to harm the Pavilion Master, hum!"

"Don't worry, girl, I will do my best to protect the pavilion master," a promise, but it implies infinite affection in my heart.It's just that outsiders can't hear it, they just think it's just a polite way.

"It's good that you know. The pavilion master, Zhu Qing, will resign first, and Ah Yuan is still waiting for news from Zhu Qing."

"Well. This is the capital city, you must be careful in everything."

"Ok!"
