Sir, I can do it!

Wei Zhao turned around and closed the study door, and consciously dragged a stool over to sit beside Wei Ru. He leaned forward and said in a low voice, "I want to talk about elder sister."

Wei Ru's eyes froze: "Zhao'er, don't meddle in this matter."

"Father wants to join forces with Hong Kun, right?"

Wei Ru was silent.

"I know that father and elder brother don't want me to get involved in the incident, but I am a member of the Wei family after all, and I cannot escape."

Wei Ru sighed: "My Wei family's children are all good, but some things will become a disaster if more people know about them."

"Father doesn't let us know that it's for our own good. Ah Zhao doesn't ask. We just say that right now, from Li Huai's attitude towards elder sister, we can see that sooner or later he will eradicate Zhen Guohou's mansion."

Wei Zhao narrowed his eyes, and continued: "Li Huai's target this time is the Beifu, and Hong Kun is more dangerous than us. So Dad, we should not take the initiative in this matter, let alone use the influence of the Houfu."

Wei Ru twirled his beard, and said in a deep voice, "If it's just A Zhao's business, it wouldn't be a big deal."

He pointed to an account book on the case: "Look, someone has come to your door about Hong Kun's corruption and perverting the law in private in the past few years. Li Huai wants to get rid of Hong Kun with the help of the Marquis Mansion. Check out the details of the Hou's mansion. Father is not afraid of him spying on anything."

"Father is worried about elder sister."

"Yes, now that the princes of the palaces have gradually grown up, the matter of establishing a crown prince has been mentioned many times by the courtiers. Although my Wei family does not want to be involved in party disputes, your elder sister is the queen of the palace after all, and we have to replace her. Intend."

"Li Huai won't let the eldest sister have a prince, what will father plan? There is no solution to this matter, unless..." Wei Zhao pulled the corner of his mouth: "Unless Li Huai can't be the emperor anymore."

"Zhao'er!" Wei Ru shouted in a low voice.He looked at Wei Zhao solemnly, as if he was re-examining this cynical son.

"Some things, even if you think about them in your heart, you can't say them anyway."

Wei Zhao smiled indifferently: "Brother told me that no matter what I do in the future, I must not forget that my Wei family protects the people of the world. Just like the war at the end of Chu, the central plains were full of war, but the four kings Aspiring to resist foreign enemies together. Because everyone knows in their hearts that no matter how we fight, we cannot let the Hu Di barbarians invade the land of the Central Plains."

"Father, I understand your concerns. The balance that the four countries are trying to maintain is already shaky, and a war is inevitable. In fact, in Father's mind, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor. It's just that once the war breaks out, the innocent people will always suffer. Father definitely doesn't want to see this, so stabilizing the court situation is the most important thing at this time."

"Father said that he would make plans for the eldest sister, but in fact, there is no good way for dad right now. What you are doing now is just to show Li Huai, to let him know that you are also in the game."

Wei Ru couldn't stop looking at Wei Zhao, although there were thousands of troubles in his heart, his eyes couldn't help showing relief.

"Father still thinks that Zhao'er only likes to have fun. Unexpectedly, Zhao'er has a vicious vision and a meticulous mind. He can see the crux of the matter at a glance."

Wei Zhao rubbed his nose proudly: "That's because you misunderstood me, Dad. Azhao has always been smart, and even my grandmother said I was a monkey spirit. So Dad, you can rest assured this time."

Wei Ru said with a simple smile: "Don't worry, dad can rest assured."

"Then it's settled."

"Okay..." Wei Ru's mouth froze: "It's settled? What did you just say?"

Wei Zhao looked innocent: "Father, don't you want to go back on your word? You taught us from a young age that a man must keep his word and act on it!"

Wei Ru looked blank: "What am I regretting? No, what did I promise you just now? You didn't say anything!"

"I said that father should stop here. The eldest sister should not use the influence of the Marquis Mansion anymore, but leave this matter to me, and also leave the negotiation with Hong Kun to me. Daddy, be honest If you are your Zhen Guohou, you will pretend that you don't know anything. Hmm?" Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "You just said that you are very relieved of me."

"I……"

"Hey!" Wei Zhao hurriedly interrupted, and said in a full of anger: "Otherwise, I will tell grandma."

"you……"

"Don't worry." Wei Zhao blocked Wei Ru's trembling fingers and said with a playful smile, "I'm serious."

"Can……"

"Okay, it's getting dark, dad, let's go to bed early." Wei Zhao waved his hand on the desk, and the account book fell into his hand lightly. He rushed to the door with one stride, turned his head and stuck out his tongue at Wei Ru , Said: "Son, I'm leaving."

Wei Ru blew his beard and stared angrily, and just about to swear a few dirty words, Wei Zhao suddenly poked his head in from the door again, and said with a smile: "In the past, it was Dad who guarded our siblings, this time it's A Zhao's turn to guard us." It's our home."

Wei Ru's breath got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get up or down. He was furious just now, and now he laughed unconsciously.

"You brat!"

He walked to the door and looked at Wei Zhao, who was running and jumping towards Guiyun Courtyard, with unconcealable love in his eyes.

"Wanwan, our Zhao'er has grown up and is sensible. Just like you, she is mischievous and clever."

It wasn't until tears blurred his vision that Wei Rufang let out a long sigh, calmed down, and let the evening wind dry the tears.

"Wei Fang!"

A figure quietly landed behind Wei Ru, half kneeling on the ground, and respectfully said: "Lord Hou."

Wei Ru didn't turn around, but only ordered: "From now on, you follow the third young master."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

Aristocrats have their own hidden powers, which is one of the reasons why emperors of all dynasties feared the power of aristocrats.Qingxiaowei is the core force of Zhen Guohou's Mansion.

Wei Fang is a young man, the same age as Wei Zhao.He also passed the assessment not long ago and was summoned back to the mansion, but has not yet been incorporated into Qingxiaowei.

Wei Ru patted his forehead, and said to himself: "Wei Fang is not Qingxiaowei, this is not considered using the power of the Marquis Mansion, nor is it considered breaking his promise to Zhao'er."

According to Zhan Yi's instructions, he escorted Gu Jin back to Nanfu and locked him in a secret cell.Then report to Changsun Ke.

"My lord, on the way to hunt down Gu Jin, I discovered that the two guards of Gu Fang and Gu Lin were also following Gu Jin. I feared that they would do something bad, so I ordered someone to lure them away."

Changsun Ke brushed off his sleeves: "The three guards seem to be in harmony with each other. It seems that things are getting more and more interesting. Can you find out the identity of the person who met Gu Jin in Tingfenglou?"

"Not yet, that person is extremely well guarded."

Changsun Ke thought for a while and said, "Pay close attention to the movements of the second prince of Beiyan, Wan Yanzhen."

"Yes!"

Changsun Ke got up and walked down the corridor, looked at the bright moon, and said: "Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, which is the most suitable for interrogating suspects."

Zhan Yi also looked up, and said in a low voice, "Didn't your lord say two days ago that cloudy weather is the most suitable for trial..."

All the spy suspects detained in Nanfu Prison were registered and crossed the road in front of the emperor.The private prison is considered to be a private prison set up by Changsun Ke. It is kept extremely clean on weekdays, but the blood shed here is no less than that of Nanfu Prison.

Gu Jin is a warrior of Beiyan. He considers himself strong and brave, but being in this clean prison cell makes him feel a kind of fear and coldness that penetrates to the marrow of his bones.

The sound of steady footsteps came from the depths, and every step was like a knife stuck in his heart.He could feel the sharpness of the blade, he could feel that the blood in his body was being attracted by the blade, slowly falling drop by drop, constantly beating the atrium, making a dull sound.

The sound of footsteps in the distance stopped abruptly.

Gu Jin looked up, a drop of sweat from his forehead slipped down his chin and onto the back of his hand, which made him shiver.

"Gu Jin, the warrior of Beiyan. The emperor of Beiyan appointed you to guard the fourth prince. Now that Wanyanhong is dead, how do you explain?"

Gu Jin glared at Changsun Ke with a dark gaze, and said viciously: "The one who killed His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was from Qi State!"

Chang Sun Ke stared into Gu Jin's eyes, and suddenly said: "Are you sure your fourth prince is really dead?"

"What's the meaning!"

"After you left the posthouse, Gu Fang Gu Lin also followed you. Do you think they want to spy on something and suspect something?"

Changsun Ke continued: "Oh, what I said just now was inaccurate. Wan Yanhong died, and you were indeed dereliction of duty, but for your real master, it was a great achievement."

Gu Jin's pupils shrank violently: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Changsun Ke looked at him condescendingly: "Before you came to Qi State, you had been training in the northern border. Emperor Beiyan issued an edict to transfer you back, so you followed Wan Yanhong on the mission. Gufang Gulin is Wanyanhong's confidant Guards, two people usually take care of you. You are sent by the emperor, so he can't be on guard too much, so he can just stay away quietly. So the problem is that you are not familiar with Wan Yanhong."

"So what?"

"Wan Yanhong has been plagued by illness since he entered the territory of Daqi, and has never shown his face. He even covered his face with a tulle at the palace banquet. After he recovered, the malignant sores on his face left scars. Everyone naturally paid attention to his scars without realizing it. It ignores his original appearance. In this way, it seems that none of us have ever seen Wan Yanhong's real appearance."

Cold sweat drenched his clothes, and suddenly clouds of doubts swept over him, Gu Jin's face was pale.

"The person you met in Tingfenglou is the person you are truly loyal to. If the prediction is correct, that person is Wan Yanzhen, the second prince of Beiyan."

Gu Jin sat slumped on the ground with a frightened expression on his face.It took a long time before Shen'er came to his senses: "I was sent by His Majesty the Emperor to protect His Highness the Fourth Prince. I am loyal to the Emperor and to Bei Yan. The Qi State government arrested me for no reason. Qi State should give me Bei Yan an explanation for this matter! "

"Okay then, let's talk about Dong Yu's case."

"Dong Yu?" Gu Jin seemed to have some impression: "It's that little official from Honglu Temple? It's none of my business if he dies!"

"I heard you had an argument with him."

Gu Jin snorted: "Since he is in charge of receiving our envoys from Beiyan, he often cannot find him. I just reprimanded him a few times, which is enough to give Qi the face. If this kind of person is in my Beiyan, He was arrested and beheaded a long time ago.”

"So, we have wronged you?"

"Since you know you have been wronged, why don't you let me go quickly!"

Chang Sun Ke said unhurriedly: "Gu Jin's bodyguard, you seem to be in a hurry. But this case is not closed. As a suspect, you should stay here steadfastly."

Gu Jin's eyes were about to burst: "You! This is the way Qi treats guests!"

Changsun Ke turned his back and shook his head lightly: "Are you also a guest?"

The footsteps sounded farther and farther away, but the echo in the empty prison was still clear, accompanied by a faint sentence: "Some people are dead, but he is still alive. Some people are alive, but he is dead..."
