Second minister and thief

"The prince hates you and is afraid of you. He is worried that you will be able to influence the decision-making of the sage while you are alive, so he will never wait for the day when he will inherit the throne! Therefore...he must act first. My lord, my lord , these, you really don’t know?”

"I don't know. I don't understand what the gentleman is talking about." From the moment he entered the door, Chu Linqiu made up his mind to pretend to be a fool to the end, so no matter what Yu Chi said, he took it indifferently, He didn't even move his eyes.He has been dragging here for a long time, and he is almost unable to sit still.

"My lord!" Yu Chi saw that he was unable to change the expression of the person in front of him after so much talking, so he couldn't help feeling a little anxious. He reached out again to grab Chu Linqiu's shoulder, but was caught by Chu Linqiu. Qiu managed to dodge, and put her backhand on the couch.

"Master Hou will be back soon, sir, let's leave."

"My lord!" Yu Chi tried to pull out his hand, but found that Chu Linqiu was extremely strong, no matter how cleverly he tried to struggle, the hand holding his gate of life would not move at all.

"My lord...cough, you only need...to present this object and the letter in Yu's arms to the emperor, and you will be able to overthrow the East Palace in one fell swoop. Why not do it? Or do you not trust me? So-and-so?!" Yu Chi observed Chu Linqiu's complexion carefully, and when he saw someone with slightly raised eyes and a half-smile, he wanted to escape for some reason.

Chu Linqiu heard that his phoenix eyes were secretly joking, and kept lingering on this person. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed quietly, "What do you want Chu to believe? Believe that you are Yu Younian's brother? Believe that you are The spies sent by Xichuan lured Chu into the trap? Or do you come here to ask for a reward with this unknown head, and you and I are on the same rope? Mr. Dayu, in your eyes, I, Chu Linqiu... ...Is it so easy to fool?"

"Of course not, my lord, listen to me first. Hiss... your hand..." Due to the unbearable pain, Yu Chi's expression looked more and more distorted, but there was something indescribable stiff.

Chu Linqiu stared at him for a while, then suddenly put his other hand on the base of his ear, and slowly groped from top to bottom, and after a while, he tore off a piece of skin with all his strength.

As expected, it was a face exactly like Yu Younian's.

"Mr. Dayu can speak now."

"Master Chu, if you really feel that Yu is not sincere enough, then Yu..." Yu Chi became cruel, and laid out all the bargaining chips he brought in front of Chu Linqiu, with a gleam in his eyes. Yin Han said, "This is the end of the matter, there is nothing to hide. In fact, Yu brought all his belongings...to surrender to the lord. Fang Yin, the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu, raised capable people in the mansion. A soldier, privately forging weapons, intending to rebel, was smashed by Yu. Fang Yin and he became murderous! Bind my wife and children, kill my mother, and force me to submit... Yu has worked hard for him for so many years, After doing a lot of nasty things, who would have thought that it would end up like this in the end! I can't be reconciled... I really can't be reconciled...My lord, if it were you, would you be reconciled?"

"..." Yu Chi's last question happened to hit the pain in Chu Linqiu's heart, causing his eyes to fluctuate a little.

Yu Chiguan knew how to watch words and demeanor, and when he saw something interesting this time, he took the initiative to offer a list, "This is also stolen by Yu, the real... list. Fang Yin never believed me, he ordered The one I wrote...was a fake."

On the back of this cowhide list, the names and order of the people "they" are planning to assassinate are densely written in teeny lowercase letters, while on the front there are also some names, but more than half of them are obviously missing, and a small piece has been intentionally picked out at the corner .

"What are these?" Chu Linqiu's slender fingers seemed to randomly swipe a few people's names, but in fact they were very particular. He actually formed several relationship networks in his mind to connect these people in an instant.

"This is Jingzhao Yin, and this is the Six Departments. These people have all received Fang Yin's belongings and promised to do things for him, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is this one..." Yu Chi's hand followed suit He tapped on the kraft paper, revealing an incomprehensible smile.

"Zhizheng Hall." Chu Linqiu's face slowly darkened, "It was erased."

"Yes. But there are only 24 Zhizheng halls. In your opinion, who is more similar?"

The Zhizheng Hall is the largest office for discussing affairs since the founding of the Daqi Dynasty. Only senior ministers with high morals and certain authority are eligible to join it and participate in the discussion and decision-making of major national affairs. It is known as the "24 Wenchen".

If people with such status are bribed to be involved in this possible treasonous incident, and mess around with that ignorant prince, then, can Daqi still have a future?

Chu Linqiu's chest suddenly seemed to be pressed down heavily by a boulder, and he was a little out of breath. He couldn't help but raised his hand to loosen his collar, his fingertips turned white, and his thin lips were already pale from being pursed.

"My lord, is Yu's sincerity this time... enough? If not, Yu still has..."

"To shut up!"

"What's the matter? Is Yu...something wrong?"

"It's nothing." Chu Linqiu managed to gather himself together, clasped the kraft paper with his hands, and said with a cool smile, "It's getting late, sir, you can leave after leaving your things. If there is no place to live, I still have a house in Dongcuifang."

"What does this mean?! My lord, please don't forget the fish when you catch the fish!" Yu Chi suddenly got up, looked straight at Chu Linqiu without fear, and said, "You can say everything, whether this will be done, my lord I have to give a response, right? What's going on now? Your lord is idle and having nothing to do to entertain Yu?"

Sitting on the couch, Chu Linqiu looked back at him calmly, with a three-point smile on his lips that never dissipated, "Mister, don't you know what kind of person Chu is? Everyone knows that I, Chu Linqiu, It's the best at... what did you say just now? Yes, you can forget the fish."

"No, you're not. If you were, you wouldn't have agreed to Yu's condition in the first place. My lord, Yu must have not been really impressed..."

"Come on!"

"Send Mr. out."

"My lord? My lord! Let go!" Yu Chi struggled to break free from the two hands that imprisoned him on the left and right, and rushed to Chu Linqiu in embarrassment. His knees softened and he knelt down. The thief rescued his wife and children."

"Then you have found the wrong person." Chu Linqiu was only silent for a moment, and then ordered the servants who heard the sound to pull the man up from the ground, push and throw him out of the door.
