The Way of the Consort

When Ji Zhao found out about this, he was on his way to Qin's house.

He doesn't have many friends, except for Zongyan, that is, Qin Wen.The gate of Prince Zheng's Mansion is still closed. When he quarreled with the prince, he said it happily. In fact, he would not really go to Prince Zheng's Mansion to find Zongyan, otherwise he would be harming King Zheng's family.

Yin Yu went back to Yangzhou the day before yesterday. There were relatives in the Yin family having a wedding. They all went back to attend the wedding. Ji Zhao also wanted to go. Who told him to be a son-in-law, and he had just quarreled with the prince, so it was impossible to go out of the city.

After being bored at home for a few days, I could only go out to talk to Qin Wen.

When he arrived at the door of Qin's house, the door of Qin's house was also tightly closed. Ji Zhao was very puzzled, except for those who committed crimes, which house's door is not open during the day?He asked Yin Ming to knock on the door, and when he came out of a porter, seeing Ji Zhao, he turned around and closed the door without saying anything. Yin Ming resisted with his body, displeased: "What are you doing? Our lord is here to find you." Mr. Jiasanlang! Still not going in to report?"

The concierge said anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense, our family has nothing to do with the son-in-law!"

Just as Yin Ming was about to say more, Ji Zhao jumped off the carriage and walked in front of them: "Qin Wen and I are good friends, why do you say that?"

The concierge didn't dare to look at Ji Zhao, but there was resentment on his face, and finally said urgently: "I don't know anything anyway! Please go back, son-in-law!" After speaking, the concierge broke away from Yin Ming vigorously, turned around and closed the door forcefully.

"Hey! What's going on with this Qin family?! No rules at all!" Chen Xing was anxious and angry, and Yin Ming wanted to go up and knock on the door.

"Don't knock..." Ji Zhao stopped them, looked up at the door plaque of the Qin Mansion, turned around and went down the steps, "Go back..."

He thought, maybe something happened?

He asked Yin Ming to inquire immediately, and when he got home, the concierge said that Ji Chongjin was here.

Ji Chongjin heard the news in the academy, so he came here in a hurry, and told Ji Zhao about it, with a bit of anxiety on his face: "It's a pity that Mrs. Yin is in Yangzhou at this time, why don't you go to Princess Fuchen to enter the palace and tell His Majesty Talk about it?"

The Ji family never cared about court affairs, but Ji Zhao had a special status.

Ji Zhao just felt speechless, who made it up, what was wrong with making it up, he wanted to kill Qin Fa?

Why did he kill Qin Fa?Does he know Qin Fa? !What good would killing Qin Fa do for him?Those people are crazy!

Seeing him like this, Ji Chongjin became even more anxious: "Third brother, this matter is no small matter. If someone really believes those words, your reputation will be damaged!"

Ji Zhao didn't care and said, "If you are damaged, you will be damaged..."

He doesn't rely on his reputation for food, besides, the prince's madman also stares at him all day long, his reputation is completely rotten, should the prince be satisfied?Presumably I won't be looking for him again.

Ji Chongjin persuaded him to write a letter to Mrs. Yin, and he agreed verbally, but Ji Chongjin felt that he would definitely not write a letter.

Ji Chongjin wanted to go back to the academy, so he had no choice but to leave first, and before he left, he also told him: "Remember to go to the princess, remember to write a letter to Mrs. Yin, you must remember."

"Understood..." Ji Zhao sent Ji Chongjin to the door, and smiled, "Thank you, brother, for telling me."

Seeing that he didn't take it seriously at all, Ji Chongjin sighed in his heart.

After sending Ji Chongjin away, Ji Zhao received the candy that Zongzhen arranged to "send" a few days ago.

He even immediately put the matter of the Qin family behind him, picked up the box and asked people to go out, opened it and saw that there were two packs of sugar balls, and he fell down on the couch happily.Recently, life has been rather miserable and bitter, and being able to eat some sweets is already an extremely happy thing.

He was chewing a candy ball, lying on the couch, looking at the flowers carved on the pillars in the room, the more he chewed, the sweeter he felt.

Whatever he wants, Brother Huishang will give him immediately!Brother Huishang took his words to heart!It would be great if Brother Huishang lived in Jinling City, he could see him anytime, anywhere!

The Huishang elder brother himself, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, was shocked when he heard someone reply in the study.

What did Ji Zhao do?

In view of the things that Ji Zhao did in his previous life, Zong Zhen also specially analyzed it in his heart and mind, what if Ji Zhao in this life really has this ability, and endured it until now?Didn't he often suspect that Ji Zhao was acting?

However, no matter how he analyzes it, Ji Zhao in this life only knows how to eat, drink and play, and doesn't care about everything. He has always paid attention to Ji Zhao's movements, and now Du Bo is following Ji Zhao. Where can Ji Zhao find someone? Assassinate Qin Fa?It wasn't Ji Zhao who did it, and who was behind the scenes to harm Ji Zhao?

Soon, the rumors in Beijing responded, saying that the son-in-law wanted to kill Qin Fa because he was jealous of Qin Fa.

Before Ji Zhao became a son-in-law, he was also a well-known young celebrity in the Kingdom of Xi. Because he was given a marriage and suddenly became a son-in-law, he could only be trapped in Jinling City for life. The niece became the crown prince's side concubine, and was promoted several ranks in a row. How can she be angry when she is transferred to Zizhou Road?

This reason, at first glance, sounds like that, and it can bluff people.

Public opinion and rumors are never afraid that no one will believe them. As long as they spread more and more quickly, people will always believe them. Soon, people in Jinling City will believe the words, and Zongzhen can be regarded as having tasted the "evil consequences." A while ago, he asked someone to release news to smear the Zhang family. He released too much information. Everyone knew that the Zhang family had done too much evil, so that Qin Fa had become the Qingtian master who represented absolute justice and fairness in the eyes of the people. It is to save the people of Zizhou who have been punished by God.

This time Qin Fa was assassinated, but also by a jealous son-in-law. The people were extremely angry, and now Jinling City is scolding Ji Zhao.

Zong Zhen didn't expect such a result, he couldn't help feeling a little bit unbearable, and immediately wanted to stand up for Ji Zhao, but hesitated, why should he stand up for Ji Zhao?They were a world feud, so many people scolded Ji Zhao, he should be happy, why is he so worried?

At this time, Chen Keye came back from Zizhou. He personally saw Qin Fa's wife's knife edge, and told Zong Zhen: "Your Highness, the weapon that the knife edge looks like is not owned by our country."

After hearing this, Zong Zhen was silent.

Zong Zhen found that he had been ignoring one point, and finally knew which point it was, there was another country to the north of Xiguo.

Did Ji Zhao's success in the previous life also have something to do with Liangguo?Liangguo and Xiguo seemed to be at peace, and even in his previous life, until his death, there was no war again. Could it be that Liangguo had never coveted Xiguo?On the night of Ji Zhao's mutiny, did he only rely on the troops of Prince Zheng's residence?Would Ji Zhao have colluded with Liang Guo early?

The more Zong Zhen thought about it, the clearer his mind became. He Qiniang finally had a direction to fill in the part of the gap that had always existed in He Qiniang's place. He immediately ordered Chen Keye to go to Pingjiang Mansion again.

Chen Keye immediately took people to Pingjiang Mansion, and hurried back the next day, looking for the right direction, and finally achieved some results.

There is nothing wrong with the He family who adopted He Qiniang. They are natives of Pingjiang Prefecture, and He Qiniang's so-called biological parents moved from Zhengzhou. Although Zhengzhou is very close to Liangguo, it is also the territory of Xiguo. See There seemed to be no serious problems, Chen Keye squatted nearby, and carefully looked at each person one by one. The family members all looked very similar, and they were all family members at first glance, but they were all ugly.

But He Qiniang is a rare beauty, and it is said that she is still twins with the son of this family.There is such a family, such twins?Chen Keye left someone behind to continue inquiring, and came back first to bring the news to Zong Zhen. It can be seen that there is a [-]% to [-]% possibility that He Qiniang is not the biological daughter of this family at all, and there must be another theory about He Qiniang's life experience.

As for the mule cart that once entered He Qiniang's yard, after leaving Jinling, it went to Liangzhe and entered the mountains. When the coachman abandoned the cart and was about to run away, he was fainted by them. His dagger was not made by Xi Guo either.

After Chen Keye saw it, he said that it must have come from the same source as the weapon used to assassinate Qin Fa.They have captured the man alive and tied him up for interrogation.

And Chen Keye remembered another thing, and told Zong Zhen: "Your Highness, do you still remember last year when the son-in-law was at the Zhuangzi outside the city?"

Zong Zhen narrowed his eyes, thinking of the horse that had been stabbed.

Who exactly is He Qiniang seems to have the answer.

It was already clear who was going to assassinate Qin Fa.

Zongzhen was more cautious. Even so, he couldn't be absolutely sure that this matter must have been done by the Liang people. Chen Keye asked him: "Your Highness, the news in the city is getting more and more chaotic. Now everyone says it was the son-in-law's work. Some officials think so, and it is said that there is already a censor to play. Shall we make a move?"

From the point of view of Chen Keye and others, although His Royal Highness is watching the son-in-law and seems to be wary, but he always takes the son-in-law to heart, and goes to see the son-in-law in private every now and then. The son-in-law was misunderstood.

Zong Zhen remained silent.

In fact, there is another possibility, if Ji Zhao has colluded with the Liang people, after all, Ji Zhao's previous acquaintance with He Qiniang is quite a theory.

Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty, as if he shouldn't have doubted Ji Zhao.Then he asked himself, why can't he doubt Ji Zhao?Ji Zhao is his biggest enemy.

He was tired of his indecision at the moment.

Chen Keye asked again: "Can we go and find out who is spreading these news in the city?"

Zong Zhen nodded: "Go..."

But he didn't say that he wanted to help the son-in-law to clarify, and Chen Keye didn't ask any more questions, and turned around to go out to handle errands.

Zong Zhen was staring at the little rabbit beside the pen holder in a daze. Ji Zhao was so angry that he almost smashed the rabbit a few days ago, but he didn't give up.Is Ji Zhao in this life a real rabbit, or is he still just a wolf in rabbit clothes?

Zong Zhen didn't help the rumors about Ji Zhao outside. He wanted to use these rumors on the surface to secretly investigate who spread the rumors. If the person was really killed by Liang Guo's spy, what was the purpose of assassinating Qin Fa?A transshipment envoy should not ask a foreign spy to kill it himself.

The consequence of Zong Zhen's failure to act was that the more the rumors spread, the less he looked good, and some bold people went to the gate of Pingyang Hou's mansion to scold him.

Ji Zhao was furious.

Ji Zhao is not the kind of really good-tempered person. He knows who is taking advantage of him again. You can take advantage of him. It doesn't matter if you scold him. As long as you don't let him hear it, that's enough. Now people come to scold him Yes, is it over?

But he couldn't go out and scold the common people, otherwise he would lose face to the royal family and himself, so Ji Zhao could only ask the family to close the door.

On the day Qin Fa's wife returned to Jinling City, the anger of the people reached its peak, and someone threw cow dung at the gate of Ji Zhao's house.Ji Zhao almost fainted from the qi, and the qi returned to the qi. Ji Zhao always felt that he was walking upright and sitting upright, so he had nothing to be afraid of.Qin Fa's wife is also Qin Wen's aunt. As Qin Wen's friend, he thinks it is necessary for him to pay homage.

Besides, didn't everyone say that he was looking for someone to assassinate him? The more he said, the more he wanted to go.

Yin Ming and the others couldn't persuade him, so they had to accompany him. Du Bo released a pigeon for the prince in desperation, and followed him out.

As soon as Ji Zhao went out, the concubine's carriage was ostentatious, and he was very recognizable. After the carriage, he gradually followed a lot of people, and found that he was going to the Qin Mansion, and everyone was talking about it. They had all kinds of opinions, but they didn't expect Ji Zhao to still After being shut down, the concierge of the Qin family still refused to let him in.

Standing under the steps of the gate of the Qin Mansion, he heard the ridicule and teasing from the people behind him, but he didn't move. He didn't believe that Qin Wen really believed those words.

He insisted on waiting until Qin Wen came out, he wanted to ask Qin Wen face to face.

It's a pity that after waiting for a long time and hearing a lot of sarcasm, Ji Zhao didn't wait for Qin Wen to come out.

Zongzhen did not receive the pigeon that Du Bo flew to the prince, because Zongzhen was not in the palace.

He was in the Qin residence right now, and he came here specially to pay homage to Qin Fa's wife. Of course, this was one of the reasons, and he also wanted to see her incision with his own eyes.Zong Zhen came here in private, and only the people in the Qin Mansion knew about it, so of course no outsiders could be allowed in, but the news was handed in.

Hearing that Ji Zhao was coming, Zong Zhen couldn't help being taken aback, he already believed that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with Ji Zhao.

Knowing that Ji Zhao was at the door, Zong Zhen didn't wait any longer, and left directly from the back door. His carriage drove to the front, and Zong Zhen called to stop.He half opened the curtain and looked at Ji Zhao who was standing not far away. Everyone behind him pointed and pointed, but Ji Zhao still had a stubborn face. For some reason, he was a little lost in his eyes.

Some of the Qin family believed and some did not believe the rumors in the city, but at this stall, one more thing is worse than one thing less. After the prince left, the gate remained closed as usual.

When the sun set, Ji Zhao still didn't wait for the door to open.

He was a little sad, or rather sad.

He didn't expect that Qin Wen really believed what those people said, otherwise why didn't he let him in?

The friendship between them can't resist these rumors?

Ji Zhao had never made friends, and he sincerely regarded Qin Wen as a friend. It was the first time he was hurt like this, and it felt strange. Throwing cow dung only made him angry, which really broke his heart.

Ji Zhao lowered his head, turned around and got into the carriage.

After Ji Zhao left, the common people followed him, but Zong Zhen's carriage stayed where it was.

Zong Zhen sat silently in the carriage, he didn't know if he was cursed by Ji Zhao, otherwise, if Ji Zhao was sad, why should he be sad too?

Ji Zhao just stood there, looking so sad that he was about to shed tears, which made him panic and even a little out of breath.

Zong Zhen leaned back and said lightly, "Go back..."

Back in the palace, Zongzhen went directly to the Yanfu Palace and reported the Qin family's affairs, and Renzong was sad for a while.

Zong Zhen said again: "Father, there have been a lot of rumors about the son-in-law in Beijing recently."

Renzong also heard about this matter, but his mind was focused on the assassination of the Zhang family and Qin Fa. The person sent to investigate had not heard back. He was surprised: "Are you still talking about the son-in-law?"

"Yes, everyone said that this matter was done by the son-in-law."

Renzong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is the son-in-law jealous of Qin Fa?! How can you believe such words?"

"The people love to listen to such rumors, and today some people went outside the consort's mansion and threw cow dung at the door."

"Bold!" Renzong slapped the table angrily, "It's ridiculous! Why didn't anyone tell me!"

Zong Zhen has already found out that there are many Wen, Yu and others who released the news in Beijing, how could these people tell him this?Anyway, even if the father is really angry, they will not really punish them. These officials have already grasped the father's disposition and have never been afraid.

Zong Zhen didn't have the intention to give these people eye drops at this time, anyway, he would handle them himself, but said: "Maybe I was busy and forgot."

Renzong was panting with anger, calmed down for a moment, and wanted to call someone in, Zong Zhen said: "Is the father going to ask someone to guard outside the son-in-law's mansion? In my opinion, it doesn't have to be that way."

"How to say?"

"The matter of Qin Fa is still under investigation, and my uncle's family has not returned yet. The impact of this matter may last for a long time. As long as the son-in-law is in the city, people will inevitably be talked about. It is better to ask him to live in a village outside the city for a while. "

Renzong agreed: "You're right! Brother Zhao is a good boy, tell him to live outside the city for a while, and come back after the matter is resolved! You won't have to tell him to listen to those nonsense anymore!"

"Yes……"

Renzong immediately sent Xiang Sheng to the son-in-law's mansion to upload a message, and then dragged Zong Zhen to talk for a long time, until Xiang Sheng called back and told them that the son-in-law had already left, and Zong Zhen returned to the East Palace.

He knew that he was soft-hearted again, but there was nothing he could do.

Ji Zhao was so sad and sad, no one could be cruel.

At least, he can't get off.
