Try to rebel today

That night, Zhou Yao slept soundly.

He knew objectively that the inn he was staying in was not far from the crime scene, but they lived in the front, and it would take time and effort to get there, so he never thought about the possibility of his uncle going to the scene.

Even if he was sleeping very hard and didn't hear any movement at all, it didn't prove that uncle had been sleeping all the time.

After listening to Wang Jia's talk, Zhou Yao himself was almost as shocked as Feng Jiang.

Uncle is also suspected!

But my uncle never, never told me anything about Chuan Guo Yuxi.

Zhou Yao suddenly felt that his uncle also had a secret.

The fourth prince is also looking for his uncle, what to say, pay attention to the person who has a chance... If the fourth prince is not mistaken, then the uncle is related to another mysterious event?

Zhou Yao is not angry at his uncle's concealment from him. Everyone is independent in this world, and even parents are not obliged to share everything with you, especially before... Zhou Yao thought of his too stupid self and sighed silently. It doesn't have the ability and momentum to shoulder big things and make people trust.

But he was very angry with himself.

So many things happened around him, caused so many influences, vaguely constituted countless crises, he didn't know it at all, and he was sad and sad for being reduced to a proton, pretending to be free and easy!

He can't even protect himself well, how can he protect his uncle?

When he was in a bad mood, he spoke sharply.

"You suspect that our uncle and nephew are acting, you deceived your trust openly, and secretly hid the treasure!"

Wang Jia almost choked on a sip of tea, quickly patted his chest, followed Zhou Yao's anger: "Oh, Yaoyao, don't make yourself so angry!! Are we that stupid? Your uncle won't Martial arts, Er is not young anymore, single-handedly fighting with several people with high martial arts skills, and running away with things, others can't catch up? Are you kidding? Besides, you are a proton, working hard outside, your uncle loves you so much, If you really want to get something, how can you run away by yourself, how can you count it together with you, at least you won't let him look for it so badly!"

Feng Jiang also nodded slowly: "Your uncle Xu was involved in this incident because of some accident, but if it is said that your uncle took away the treasure, I don't believe it."

In the situation at that time, the competition was not about brains, but force. Whoever was stronger was more likely to succeed.

Lan Linchun arrived at the scene earlier than Xiong Qing and Mao San, Xu saw something and knew something, but it was impossible for him to get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.Even if you take advantage of the chaos, the things will change hands in a few breaths.

Zhou Yao: "...so am I stupid?"

"No, Yaoyao is the smartest!" Wang Jia continued to coax, "It's a pity that I can't ask more about your uncle, and I can't help, but if I get news in the future, I will definitely tell you!"

Zhou Yao's eyes darkened: "Thank you."

The interrogation of Shang Zhongji must be expedited!

That guy must know something!

After Wang Jia finished the story, the room was quiet for a while, trying to digest the facts.

Feng Jiang thought of someone: "Who is that Huayuan Commercial Bank chief executive Guan Jin? Why is he always there for every important occasion?"

"Oh, that's an idiot, don't worry about it." Wang Jia twirled the teacup nimbly with his fingers, "He is a big boss who relies on the nepotism of his elders. He came to Chudi for the first time this year to manage business. Don't panic. His family has caused trouble in the Hua family, and he is particularly afraid of punishment, so he tried his best to settle the matter."

"Compared to him—I think Xiong Qing is more of a character." Wang Jia stopped the cup in his hand suddenly, squinted and smiled, "Speaking of Xiong Qing, I think of one thing, you can definitely use it."

Feng Jiang: "Please tell me."

"After Mao San's death, the auction ended. I went to find Xiong Qing. I was frightened, and Xiong Qing recruited them all. The treasures he picked up that day were not only the ones with Mao San. In the eyes of my heart, I hid a lot of them without letting Mao San see them, and now they are hidden in the basement of his room..."

"Buried?"

Feng Jiang was thoughtful.

No wonder the on-site news said that there was no trace of heavy objects being removed.

The only thing that Ji Baqiang made was to pass on the jade seal of the country. If you can’t get it, it’s useless. You won’t want it at all. up!

And almost every important place, where there is gold, there is Xiong Qing, because Xiong Qing is smart, and wants to get closer to learn more information, and use this to judge whether he is safe or not.

He is also very good at acting, and every time he is suppressed by Guan Jin, he is like a bad luck guy who has suffered a lot and has a deep hatred.

Isn't it more like a character than Guan Jin with his teeth and claws?

Zhou Yao narrowed his eyes and tapped the table with his fingertips: "Xiong Qing is greedy for money, wants these treasures, but is afraid of being known by others, we can use this to coerce him and ask him to cooperate."

Needless to say, Feng Jiang already understood what he meant with a wink and a word of attraction, and in the blink of an eye, he had an idea...

The two talked to each other, there was back and forth, and there was a tacit understanding. Sometimes Wang Jia couldn't keep up with the fast pace and the change of thoughts!

He rested his hands on his chin, drooling as he watched, he really wanted to be like this!

"you……"

It happened that Zhou Yao and Feng Jiang had finished chatting and looked over: "Is there anything else you haven't said?"

Wang Jia shook her head vigorously: "I said it all!"

"The person who really stole the treasure—"

Wang Jia was very vigilant: "That's my own business!"

Zhou Yao sighed: "I don't want to say, I have no selfish intentions at all, but if there is news because of you, I will definitely report back."

Wang Jia looked at Feng Jiang and said aggressively, "What about you!"

Feng Jiangyi nodded: "If you help me, I will naturally help you."

In fact, Wang Jia doesn't care about the real treasure, the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, all he cares about is his reputation, he is a big thief Tu Qi, he can't suffer from being dumb!

"It's very cunning over there..." Wang Jia sighed, a little helpless, "I didn't try to find out more, only one real and effective clue, the golden cloud lock pattern robe."

"It's a piece of clothing that has special meaning and is only worn on special occasions."

Wang Jia squinted her eyes and reminded: "This special occasion is not a Chinese New Year holiday, it has to be another big event—you know it."

Zhou Yao and Feng Jiang Qi nodded together, thoughtful.

This night seems to be very long.

Zhou Yao originally thought that if he clarified the ins and outs of the matter, he would understand and be calm. Unexpectedly, Wang Jia restored some of the facts. Not only did he not feel relaxed and calm, but his heart became heavier.

Uncle...what happened?where are you now?

After a long breath, Zhou Yao looked at Wang Jia: "Why are you so honest, aren't you afraid that we will sell you?"

"Sell it if you sell it. I'm blind. If you dare to say it, you have to dare to take responsibility and consequences." Wang Jia shook his head, making a cool and handsome posture, very free and easy.

Zhou Yao joked with him: "I don't know who said something ugly just now..."

"Okay, because I still want to arrest people."

Wang Jia suddenly became serious: "I also know that this time the opponent is too strong, it seems that I can't handle it alone. I, Wang Jia, want to trust you."

He was so frank so suddenly that Zhou Yao couldn't make jokes anymore. He nodded solemnly: "I will not betray my friends. Besides, you not only helped me, but also saved me."

The news of his uncle was too important to him.

"What I know, I've finished everything. My identity is a secret in Jianghu. Not many people know about it. I won't show up in public. Please keep it a secret." Wang Jia stood up, "If something happens, If you need it, you can ask me for help, if you want to help me, you can also put forward conditions, so far for today, good night, both of you, and farewell!"

Wang Jia came suddenly, and went quickly, like a breeze, blowing through the window and disappearing in an instant.

Zhou Yao looked at the dark night and stood up: "I'm going back too."

Feng Jiang blinked: "It's so late..."

Zhou Yao raised his eyebrows and smiled, as if peach blossoms would fly out of his eyes: "Are you inviting me to live here? With you?"

"Cough, cough, cough—"

Feng Jiang choked on a sip of tea and coughed earth-shatteringly.

"The room is clean and warm, but unfortunately, I don't have my quilt." Zhou Yao turned and opened the door, walked into the night, "Farewell."

"Wait—" Feng Jiang hurriedly blew out the candle, put out the charcoal basin, locked the door casually, and followed Zhou Yao, "I want to go back too."

Zhou Yao: "Isn't this the house you rented?"

Feng Jiang: "Yes, but I don't want to live, it's more convenient for the Fourth Prince's Mansion."

Zhou Yao looked at Feng Jiang quietly, and said in a meaningful voice, "Okay."

……

Next, Zhou Yao and Feng Jiang began to make plans and make various preparations.

Where Xiong Qing is, he must be found, persuaded, lured or coerced, and asked him to cooperate with him and help make false testimony.It is inconvenient for the thief in Figure [-] to show up, and other characters on the road can be idle, and it is not impossible to buy a lot of money to play a game.

Prince Chen is clean now, and if he has any negotiations with the underworld, he will join hands with Xiong Qing, the deacon of Huayuan Commercial Bank, to set up the Chongbao Auction Bureau.

Originally, the treasures at the black market auction were fake, but now they can be made real, and the court can ask Prince Chen for things.

Well, Prince Chen has to explain why he wanted to harm the fourth prince and cooperate with the underworld.

Are you really so obedient and not selfish?

Vultures are also to be found.

Vulture is a member of the party, and cooperating with Prince Chen, even if it does not represent the country and the country, it can be made to represent the country and the country.

They have to check this matter inside and out, understand what's going on, and then secretly look for the letter of cooperation between the two people. If there is no letter, they will forge it and put it in a suitable place.

Then consider the final trap, the place to set up the overall situation, who are the participants, and who is best to launch the attack...

Very busy.

Busy without touching the ground, the outermost and closest two small courtyards of the First Prince's Mansion and the Fourth Prince's Mansion are always brightly lit.

Even on New Year's Eve, Zhou Yao and Feng Jiang couldn't have a good time. They just drank wine with side dishes and chatted about business all night.

……

The new Prince Chen is also a capable person.

It was really caught by Zhou Yao and Feng Jiang. Prince Chen himself has brains and certain talents, but he has been suppressed for too long, and his personality is indeed somewhat distorted.

To put it simply, the more low-key he used to be, the more gentle and gentle his methods are, but now he is more high-profile, with urgent and serious methods, and no delay is allowed.

As if he wanted to express his depression and vent all the unhappiness he had had for many years, he had to stand at the highest point, and everyone should bow down to him, and he had to do whatever he wanted, otherwise, what would be the use of taking back the status of prince?

He started to be too arrogant, to show his ambition too much, to fight against dissidents too much, and he dared to kill anyone who dared to disrespect him in the slightest.

Looking at it right now, it seems that the new official has not escaped the rhythm of the three fires, but in the long run, what is the difference with the eldest prince and the fourth prince?

Prince Chen used his own strength to deduce the five words of madness when he is successful.

Zhou Yao and Feng Jiang gave a little push, and gradually, rumors came out that this prince Chen was more violent than the fourth prince in private, and he didn't take human life seriously, but he was worse than the eldest prince on the surface. can hold...

Zhou Yao is also thinking seriously.

According to his and Feng Jiang's preparations, it would be easy to overthrow Prince Chen. If he loses, he will definitely not be defeated. With Prince Chen gone, who will take care of the heir apparent of Chu?The first prince, or the fourth prince?

Really help the eldest prince to the throne?

impossible.

Not to mention the amount of information faintly revealed in Mao San's death, he and the First Prince had a score to settle, how could he help, the First Prince himself actually didn't want him to help...

Knowing too much is not a good thing.

If the eldest prince can harm his uncle, if he kills Juan'er, he can kill himself.

In fact, like Xu Feng, he was an outcast.As soon as this matter is over, there will be an 'accidental death' immediately.

How could he give the eldest prince a chance to attack him?

Naturally, it is the first to act first...

Zhou Yao sighed while thinking.

He didn't want to care about the affairs of Chu State. He only had two goals at first, one was to find his uncle, and the other was to get the document with important seals.It didn't work out... He never expected that things would develop so complicatedly and he would get into such a deep trap.

I can't even leave if I want to.

On the way to the courtyard where Shang Zhongji was held, Zhou Yao saw Lai Qishu.

Lai Qishu... seems to be very active recently.

It's not like in the past when he didn't worry about everything and was always playing around at any time. He started to drink tea with his colleagues, started to intervene in some trivial matters in the court, and affected the overall situation from the details...

He accomplished several major events and saved several people that Prince Chen wanted to kill.

Zhou Yao looked at the fat belly in the distance, with a friendly smile on his round face, but also wise and calm, and suddenly had a guess.

It's not that Lai Qishu really doesn't worry about everything!

He has a clear eye and a clear heart. It is by no means that he does not worry about everything. He knows that the situation is like this, and it is useless to do many things.And the situation is just not good, not particularly bad, and showing no signs of collapse.

Previously, the eldest prince and the four princes fought all kinds of fights, but they were still in the capital city, and did not cause any terrible consequences. Now, the two princes are dying, and Prince Chen stepped forward.

Compared with the previous two princes, Prince Chen seems to be more prone to fool the emperor. The terrible thing is that he is the biological son of Emperor Chu. Emperor Chu looked at him with kindness. Emperor Chu is taboo. Emperor Chu can use heavy hands to control the balance, turn his hands into clouds and his hands into rain, and reset the situation to calm down impetuousness everywhere.Having worked so hard to climb to the position of emperor for several years, Emperor Chu is fully capable of this, Prince Kechen...

Emperor Chu felt that everything his son did was right!How to support!

Such a habit of children, such support in everything, the development direction of Prince Chen and the development direction of Chu State are very worrying.

So Lai Qishu had to act.

In a way, Emperor Chu did have a pair of wise eyes.

It's a pity that Lai Qishu's actions are completely opposite to his expectations.

Zhou Yao thought, in his previous life, at the banquet in Jinhua Court, Li Yao died, the eldest prince went crazy, risked his life to fight with the fourth prince, and the fourth prince also came to the real fire, if the two fought regardless, Lai Qishu would die, Maybe it wasn't just an accident, but implicated?

Lai Qishu wanted to prevent, prevent possible turmoil, wars, and even national subjugation.

It's a pity that his strength alone is still less, everyone is involved in the game, his strength is too weak...

"Uncle Lai!"

From afar, Zhou Yao raised his hand to greet Lai Qishu.

Lai Qishu seems to be far away from the court, but in fact he has never left. He knows many things, including Zhou Yao, a proton who has nothing to do with Chu, how depressed he was before, how excited he was afterwards, and how many things he has done...

He saw it all.

The more I look at it, the more I feel and sigh.

With Zhou Yao's intelligence, he definitely knew what he was doing, he didn't need to hide, and he didn't need to be embarrassed, so he cupped his hands with a smile: "Zhou Yao."

Zhou Yao blinked and teased Lai Qishu: "Uncle Lai has worked really hard recently. I saw that my stomach has become smaller twice. You are worried about the world, and you have to take care of your body."

Unable to hold back one, Lai Qishu sighed out of the breath held in his throat: "It's great to have a prince like you in Ruochu."

He really appreciates Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao's ability, vision, character...everything makes it hard for him not to praise.

Looking at Lai Qishu, Zhou Yao suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Why did the state of Chu have to perish?

Why must there be a crown prince, either the First Prince or the Fourth Prince, or the Prince Chen?

Can't it be done in other ways?

Must it not lead to the right way?

such as……

His eyes flickered, his eyebrows were sculpted, and the dimples on his cheeks were exposed: "Look at what Uncle Lai said, am I not the prince? In fact, Chudi was originally a subordinate of Dazhou, and I am the prince of Dazhou, so I am also the prince of Chu." The prince of the country, in the past, if I can put it mildly, if I can take a step forward, this Chu land...haha, wouldn’t it also be under my control?"

Zhou Yao's words didn't intentionally contain any meaningful hints, but a smart person listens to the sound, and in an instant, Lai Qishu thought of something.

He stood where he was, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked at Zhou Yao.

Also... The land of Chu was originally a fiefdom, and it was the territory of the Great Zhou earlier. Zhou Yao was the prince of the Great Zhou. If he could take a step forward and become the emperor of the Great Zhou, then the land of Chu should belong to Zhou Yao.If Zhou Yao is useless, as weak as the current Great Zhou Emperor, Chu State can still stand on its own as the king, if it is as chaotic as it is now, if Zhou Yao has the ability...

If the Great Zhou can be ruled and the world can be ruled, won't the land of Chu belong to Zhou Yao sooner or later?

Then what is he worried about?

What kind of Chu emperor do you want, what kind of heirloom you care about, just to stabilize the country, wait for Zhou Yao to take over?

Almost instantly, Lai Qishu's mind came up with many ways of regent that don't require the crown prince, and issue orders on behalf of the disabled emperor...

Lai Qishu was a loyal minister, he didn't intend to call himself emperor, he only wanted peace in the world and the well-being of the people, he was loyal to his subjects, to the world, not to a certain emperor.If there is no hero, he should wait and look for it. If there is a hero, he will surrender!

But Zhou Yao...does he really have the ability to rule the world?

Wisdom, vision, mind, character, he has seen it all, but this rule of the world...

He looked at Zhou Yao, whose side face seemed to be glowing under the bright sun, with a powerful aura shining between his brows, and was speechless for a long time.

This child, obviously very thin, obviously reduced to a proton, and in a dire situation, why is he still so energetic, so noble, making people have the urge to kneel down?

Lai Qishu thought about it, and murmured: "Yes... I forgot, you are the prince of the Great Zhou, you are already honorable..."

"It's not that Uncle Lai is getting old, it's that Uncle Lai didn't think in this direction."

Lai Qishu suddenly felt sorry for Zhou Yao and felt wronged for him.Such a good child, why was he abandoned by the Great Zhou Emperor and referred to as a proton?

"Uncle Lai, you don't have to feel wronged for me," Zhou Yao blinked, and there was a childlike mischievousness in his innocent smile, "A young man can't go through adversity, and after going through setbacks, he grows up, me, maybe I can go further in the future? "

He was already the prince, and if he went further, where else could he be besides that position?

But in any case, it is still drawing a big cake.

Lai Qishu didn't give a proper answer.

Zhou Yao didn't need his words: "The current situation is difficult, Uncle Lai might as well think about it, one more way, one more hope. And—" He sent some news to Lai Qishu, "If Uncle Lai Still worrying about Prince Chen, I can tell you the truth, you can go home to eat now, and sleep peacefully, after the great court meeting in five days, there will be no more Prince Chen in the court."

Lai Qishu looked at Zhou Yao with very complicated eyes. In the end, without saying anything, he said with a pun: "Okay, I'll wait for the court meeting!"

……

Zhou Yao's ultimate goal was not achieved in this trip, and the dumb servant said that Shang Zhong was still struggling and did not want to recruit.

Zhou Yao didn't go to interrogate, but when the dumb servant delivered the food, he looked through the door at Shang Zhong, who was skinny and exhausted...

With this look, it is estimated that he will not be stubborn for two days.

Very good, five days later, after finishing dealing with Prince Chen, I will come to deal with you again!

I hope you can hold on to it by then!
