That little fly

As soon as Ji Zhao entered the room, he saw Shui Qingqian writing alone at the desk, alone, with no one to talk with him, Ji Zhao frowned, feeling very uncomfortable, and hurried over, "I'm not Have someone from the Su family come to accompany you, what are you writing?"

"It's just practicing calligraphy... I asked Pingping to go back. Their family's foundation is too shallow, so it's not suitable to get involved here."

Hearing this, Ji Zhao looked at Shui Qingqian, studied his expression, but couldn't see anything.But at that time, he also looked dignified and stable in front of people, but the whole person was stiff, just putting on airs on the surface.Ji Zhao glanced at the words practiced on the table, feeling sore in his heart, pulled him into his arms, bowed his head and kissed the dull hair on the little bird's head, then decisively embraced the little bird, took him to the water pavilion, drank tea, It's better to enjoy the flowers than to be bored in this ghost painting.

Ji Zhao had a similar experience, and he knew it was not an easy hurdle in his heart. When he killed someone for the first time, his little uncle stayed with him for two days. The company of relatives made it easier for Ji Zhao.And Shui Qingqian's experience was even scarier than Ji Zhao's. At the beginning, when Ji Zhao faced the pirates, he raised his sword to protect himself, and when he finally killed the enemy, he was not without a feeling of anger and revenge, but Shui Qingqian , Including the contribution of the two improved firecrackers, he shot and killed nine people in total, all of them were killed by one blow, and injured four seriously and three slightly. He stood on the outer circle of the relatively safe battle field, calmly Yes, ruthless, harvesting human lives with one arrow at a time, Ji Zhao can't even imagine the psychological torture that Qingqian endured for this. According to this situation, he should have relatives by his side, whether Ji Zhao or Shi Whether it's Ke, even if it's an official, but because of the assassination, none of them can get away.At the beginning, when the officials heard about the assassination incident, they almost had a heart attack. Ji Zhao had to report in front of his father when he came back safely. Later, the cabinet ministers took over the place, and several Jinwu guards reported the situation at that time. Shi Ke was in charge of the law and could not be absent...

"I thought you were going to be busy for a while." Shui Qingqian leaned on Ji Zhao. He felt that he was fine, and his mood was already very calm. Even if he felt weak all over his body, he could always find an explanation for the lack of strength in his arms, but he My whole body, back, and thighs all feel very tired for no reason, and I can't lift a bit of strength.

"Naturally, people from the relevant yamen will handle it. We have brought back all the survivors. Does the follow-up matter need to be watched by the dignified prince himself?"

"Assassins are just minions." Isn't it more important to find out who is behind this kind of thing?Shui Qingqian just tried to write to meditate, but the handwriting was messed up, but her mind calmed down, and the whole thing was connected, Shui Qingqian felt that brother Zhao should not be ignorant, or, more sinister guesses, might Ji Zhao just use tricks?As early as from Qingyun Town, there was a malicious gaze on his back, and Shui Qingqian was alert, did Brother Zhao really not notice it?If he really didn't know anything, why didn't anyone object when he made an oolong on the mountain road?The performance in the hunting ground was even more suspicious. Several times, Ji Zhao misled him into thinking that he was going to associate with various ministers, so he could not go hunting with him. In fact, His Royal Highness Qin Wang did not go to the banquet at all, and left the large army and ran to a remote area , only a single shadow.

Use body as bait.This is a very reasonable explanation.

Based on this speculation, then today's assassination incident, the capture of a few young people is obviously just the beginning of the incident. Afterwards, isn't Brother Zhao guiding everyone to pull out the cocoon and strip the thread to draw out the black hands behind the scenes and wipe them all out... Well, the water of recovery Qingqian found that there was sweet purple rice porridge in her mouth, and Brother Zhao was feeding him with a small bowl in his hand.

"Oh, Brother Zhao," swallowed a mouthful of sweet soup hastily, Shui Qingqian wrinkled his nose and looked at the spoon in front of him, complaining in a meowing voice, "How old am I!"

"I don't know how to concentrate when I'm too old to eat." Ji Zhao reached out to wipe the soup from the corner of his lips.Just now Ji Zhao asked him if he wanted to eat sweet soup, he hummed, the sweet soup arrived, but just stared at it in a daze, then Ji Zhao teased him: Do you want me to feed you?As a result, there was another 'hmm', which shows that I don't know where the fugue has gone.

Shui Qingqian got up and knelt down, took the small bowl and drank it in small sips, the warm sweet soup fell into her stomach, as if it was warmed from head to toe.Looking up at Ji Zhao, after Ji Zhao put him down, his posture also relaxed. He sat cross-legged, bent the other leg, pinched a small piece of snack, chewed it slowly, and unconsciously tapped his fingers with his arms on his knees. , his eyes fell on an unknown distance, and he was probably thinking about something, but soon, Ji Zhao turned his eyes back and saw that Shui Qingqian had finished eating, "Didn't eat enough? If you want to eat, tell the kitchen to cook it. Hold on to an empty bowl, how about you want to lick it clean?"

"I was thinking... Assassins, the assassins who survived, are they all safe?" They won't be silenced, right?

"The people around me are going to be on duty in turn, and your family Gao Song and the others have to work hard, so for the remaining few days, please be honest with me." Ji Zhao rubbed the dull hair on the little bird's head.

"Who is investigating, the Ministry of Justice? Habayashi Guard? Or the city inspector? Can they do it? Can they find out the real culprit behind the scenes?" Shui Qingqian asked a series of questions. He guessed [-]% to [-]% in his heart, but even if he guessed this kind of thing, he couldn't say it.

"No matter who checks, they are experts in the yamen who specialize in doing these things, and they will definitely be able to give you, me, Father Emperor and Master Shi an explanation."

Shui Qingqian stared straight at Ji Zhao, assessing the sincerity of his words, assassinating a first-rank prince, how daring is the man behind the scenes to do such a thing?In the same way, it can be proved that the big and small officials in the yamen are so bold to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes?But Ji Zhao looked back frankly, as if he really put his wealth and life in the hands of those yamen investigating the case, and he wasn't worried at all.

"Do you really believe..."

"If you have free time, why don't you go to the parents with all your needs and stalking them. I didn't pay attention to the chaos just now. Father and Master Shi are very worried about you." Ji Zhao changed the topic.He can quickly come to the back to take care of Shui Qingqian, which also has the meaning of the official.

Speaking of it, it's a little embarrassing.

At the very beginning, the cabinet bosses in that room didn't think that the clear water played a big role. According to the news, everyone understood it as it should be: the prince of Ning Renhou's mansion passed by the setting sun forest while hunting, and then happened to bump into King Qin When he was assassinated, he asked the Jinwu Guards around him to draw their swords to help.Later, there was news that all the assassins had been dealt with, His Royal Highness King Qin was safe, and everyone was safe. Therefore, it was even more reasonable to think that Shui Qingqian was eating melons throughout the process.

After they came back, the officials were anxious to see Quanxu Quanwei's good son, Shi Ke and a group of ministers were in a hurry to deal with the accident, and the people who were eating melons were ignored, so Ji Zhao sent someone to send Shui Qingqian back to Langya Garden to have a good rest.Emperor Jiayou still asked a question on the way, and he was quite satisfied with the answer that Shui Qingqian had already returned to the palace to rest.

Later, more detailed information was revealed one by one, and when the statistics of the assassin's casualties were revealed, Ji Zhao couldn't forget the colorful faces of the old foxes in the room.There are too many slots, and I can't tell clearly for a while.In any case, when Ji Zhao finished talking about what he knew, got up and said goodbye to go to see the clear water, the audience was instantly silent and embarrassed.

In his lifetime, Shui Daxia finally killed the Quartet, but he was not happy, just like the first time he understood the cruelty behind "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up", the real world he grew up destroyed his childhood dream Exhausted.Shui Qingqian lay back, rolled twice on the mat, rolled to the corner of the room, wrapped the blanket around his body, covered his head, he was so tired, he wanted to rest.

Ji Zhao followed, and Shui Qingqian turned over and grabbed His Highness King Qin's thigh. Ji Zhao combed the dull hair on his head with his hands, which was very comfortable. I don't know anymore.

When Shui Qingqian was sleeping soundly, the small meeting in the front hall had already disbanded, and the assassin incident was handed over to a special yamen to investigate. The old vixens in the central cabinet only hated themselves for not having eight legs, so they hurriedly got rid of this mess. get away.

Yes, preliminary investigation revealed that the assassins were His Highness King Qin's enemies and had nothing to do with anyone else. Their faces were very different from those of the people in the Central Plains, and their accent was a serious flaw.They came to assassinate King Qin out of family hatred and national hatred, and had nothing to do with others... If the central cabinet was a group of demented people, maybe they would really believe it.

A group of barbarians from southern Xinjiang who are not good at talking can silently sneak into the imperial capital from thousands of miles away, sneak into the hunting grounds silently, and block His Highness King Qin in a secluded hunting ground to assassinate silently without any help from insiders. Arrangement, with this group of two hundred and five, can you tell the difference between southeast and northwest?Really defending the imperial capital, the Habayashi guards and the Yulin army are the dishes?Therefore, the scope of suspicion of the mastermind behind the scenes can even be narrowed down to a certain, certain, certain few people.But no matter who is found out, the words "disaster caused Xiao Qiang" cannot be left out. This is a royal scandal through and through.

It was found out, the officials have always been soft-hearted, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and in the end the murderer can really kill for his life?

Can't find out, why, is His Highness King Qin like a soft persimmon?

Therefore, whether to check or not, the final result is that people are not human inside and outside.If you can't pick up such a hot potato, don't pick it up.

Speaking of His Royal Highness King Qin, a group of old vixens in the central cabinet secretly sighed in their hearts. This youngest prince is really not to be underestimated. , It's really a good hand.Now the young master is innocent, no matter what happens in the end, no matter whether the 'real culprit' is found out or not, His Royal Highness Prince Qin is standing on the moral high ground with no flaws. The officials know that he has been wronged, so why do they feel sorry for his youngest son? , How much to compensate secretly, outsiders don't know.

From this point, it can be seen that the way of clear water is still shallow, and he never thought of this step at all.If Ji Zhao really took over the entire investigation in a hurry, and wanted to catch the culprit himself from beginning to end, and catch his own brother, maybe it would be the officials and the murderer, and the murderer was at large. Maybe he could get rid of a competitor, but His Royal Highness King Qin has ulterior motives, Fraternal killing, narrow-mindedness, and the saying that every grievance must be retribution will inevitably become a kind of "secret history", which will always be "truth" in future generations...

Well, farther away.

This assassination incident, the ministers knew it well, the officials didn't say anything, but they also guessed it in their hearts. Just now, they were sulky and didn't express their opinions. In the second half, they directly brought the topic to Shui Qingqian , Yes, everyone is very concerned about that little flying sky, but the official, you changed the subject so bluntly, you are very guilty, okay?

Clear and shallow water will of course become the center of the topic.

Compared with the various landmines and various depressions behind the assassination of King Qin, in this matter, the existence of Shui Qingqian seems to be completely bright and positive energy. Xu returned triumphantly without any injuries, so beautiful that people couldn't find the pinch point.So, when the meeting was over, Emperor Jiayou took Shi Ke to Langya Garden, which didn't match what Ji Zhao originally thought the parents were worried about. The two old men's footsteps were full of excitement and pride.All the way, the little yellow gate was shouting the news, and when it came to the gate of Shuixie, it was pinched by the little yellow gate next to Ji Zhao. Touched lightly into the house.

Shui Qingqian was still asleep, Ji Zhao sat there unable to get up, her thigh was used as a pillow.

There was no outsider in the house, and the sage didn't need to give his son the emperor's money. The father silently comforted Ji Zhao who couldn't salute, then pointed to the clear water, and asked with his mouth: How is it?

Ji Zhao answered silently: I'm fast asleep, and I won't wake up for a while.

Shi Ke handed over a soft pillow, and worked with Ji Zhao to replace the thigh.Shi Ke tucked the blanket for his grandson, and the sage helped the half-limped Ji Zhao to the next door. It was better for them to talk outside.There is a reason why the parents have a good attitude: that naughty and mischievous child is now amazing. He can kill assassins with one arrow and save people, which is really impressive.It must be because he was tired when he fell asleep right now, let him sleep well, it's all minor problems, the most important thing is, he has a long face!Qingqian really gave the parents a big face, with a bright face!

it is good!

excellent! !

Ji Zhao: ...

"Don't brag, you vomit in front of people, and you don't like to shout about it." Ji Zhao could only use this method to choke off the excitement of the parents.

"What?"

"Vomited?"

The two old men were stunned.

"After all, the ground is full of blood." Ji Zhao said concisely, unwilling to say more.

The fiery hearts of the two parents felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on them.

In retrospect, yes, the ground is full of blood...

The smile gradually froze on his face.

It didn't take long for them to hear the news of the assassination of King Qin, and then came the result of "the group is safe", so after they were relieved, they didn't think deeply about many details.But at this moment, Ji Zhao also reminded them in a disguised form that more than 20 assassins were executed, five of them were captured alive, and there were only a few guards around Ji Zhao. That is also the front line of life and death with great disparity in strength.

Bloody everywhere...

Just such an understatement by Ji Zhao caused cold sweats of goosebumps to run down the backs of the officials. The father finally realized what kind of dangerous situation it was at that time, and it is no exaggeration to say that it was life and death.Zhao'er is safe, maybe it should be attributed to a damn fluke.Because of luck, Ji Zhao was able to recover his life, so, in comparison, the ruthlessness represented by the black hand behind the scenes...

At this moment, the perception of the officials has completely changed.

Yes, from the very beginning, the officials were clear in their hearts, and this matter might be planned by some incompetent son behind the scenes.When Emperor Jiayou heard the news of the assassination, his expression was ugly. He was not only worried about Ji Zhao, but also angry.He has been trying to be a good father, but he never expected that the royal tragedy that happened to his brother would start to happen to his sons.If you let him know which bastard did it, see if he doesn't break his legs! ! !Well, the saint was furious at that time, and the possible punishment he could think of was only to "discount his legs".

Besides, Ji Zhao is fine.

But right now, Ji Zhao just said that, without any hint of luck, which made Emperor Jiayou feel uncomfortable.Ji Zhao is also his own son, how innocent he is!Just now in the front hall, when Ji Zhao said to let go of it, Emperor Jiayou was secretly thankful, but now, he vaguely realized the helplessness and grievance that Ji Zhao didn't say out loud.How could Ji Zhao fail to guess who was behind the assassination?He is the first son of the royal family to expand the land and seal the territory since Emperor Wu. He independently manages a large area of ​​land, and his political skills are not inferior to any old vixen in the central cabinet.Can he not know that someone wants to put him to death?In the final analysis, it was just being forced to remain silent, not wanting to make relatives sad.

Well, everyone can think that His Royal Highness King Qin is throwing the pot away and is invincible, but the saint will never think so, because he is the only survivor of the brotherly love of the last royal family.How ridiculous, she wasn't born with a mother in the first place, she was born with a conflict of interests, and she didn't have the opportunity to have a deep relationship on weekdays, how could it be possible to have a real brotherhood?It was his father's wishful thinking that his sons should have deep brotherly love, so the princes maintained the usual harmony of brothers and sisters.It's fine if there are no conflicts of interest, when the day really comes...

Hehe, right now, this is starting to mess with Ji Zhao, but he is still happy that Zhao'er maintains the brotherhood?

Regardless of what Ji Zhao thinks in his heart, he just asks himself:

Why? !

Emperor Jiayou felt that if he really just pulled out a certain bastard behind the scenes this time and broke his legs, Zhaoer, Zhaoer would be very sad and very sad... The saint's brainstorming stopped abruptly, and he suddenly figured out Thing: Zhao'er has been hurt.When he silently handed over the power to track down the mastermind behind the scenes without saying a word, his youngest son no longer expected a fair result.

The murderer pays with his life.

How can it be?

In his heart, he was sure that his father would let the murderer go.Emperor Jiayou came to his senses, so he felt even more mixed.When the boss died for no apparent reason, the murderer was probably one of his sons, but he was soft-hearted and didn't investigate further.So, right now, is it possible that another son has put his plan on another brother who is likely to inherit the reserve?If he doesn't care this time, or if he handles it gently again, will there be a third or fourth time...Ji Zhao can dodge it once, can he dodge it the second time, the third time?Zhao'er can dodge it, but can other stupid sons dodge it?Emperor Jiayou's heart suddenly became angry, angry and heartbroken, so he couldn't let it go.The martyr sighed, and he finally began to understand why his father was so cruel and willing to do so.Because he had to, had to, harden his heart, act vigorously and stop this unhealthy trend, there was no second choice at all.

These thoughts swarmed into the brain of the saint almost instantly, which is probably what the Buddha said about enlightenment.The hand he was holding on to Ji Zhao was suddenly clenched, meeting Ji Zhao's questioning eyes, the emperor's big dry hand patted the back of Ji Zhao's hand lightly, and admitted bitterly, "My son is suffering too, Don't worry, Father will definitely find out the truth about this matter, he should be punished, he should be punished, and whoever they are, don't try to fool them."

Ji Zhao widened his eyes slightly in surprise, then smiled relievedly, took his father's hand and shook it to comfort him, and changed the subject, "Okay, let's not mention this for now, Dad, you are here for the sake of innocence. Bar?"

His son has no confidence in him.When Emperor Jiayou understood Ji Zhao's attitude, his heart was like grilled salted fish on the fire. It was really ironed and bitter, sour and salty at the same time, but he also secretly warned himself that for the safety of everyone in the future, this time, never Can't be tolerated!
