The next day, the eunuch came to the mountain. Of course, he was dressed not like a eunuch at all, but like a cook.Hearing that it was sent by Huishang brother, Ji Zhao hurriedly called him to the yard, asked a few words, and knew that he was a person who made those delicious snacks, and said happily: "It's my brother who knows I like to eat those, so I specially called him You came here?"

"Yes, son-in-law, the little one is yours from now on."

Ji Zhao smiled and said, "You came to my place, what will he do? Doesn't he have nothing to eat?"

The eunuch said: "As long as the son-in-law is happy after eating, our master will only be happier."

Ji Zhao laughed "haha" and said, "You can talk!"

The eunuch bent down, bowed to him with a smile, and was talking, Princess Fuchen came in from the outside, and said with a smile: "I heard that a very good cook came to your yard, let me have a look..." She walked away When she got to the door, she felt strange when she saw the cook's back. She grew up in the palace, and the eunuchs and maids she saw the most since she was a child.

Although eunuchs are clean, they are still men, but they are still different from those servants and long-term attendants. The rules in the palace are strict, and the court ladies and eunuchs are not allowed to face the face, especially the eunuchs, who bend their waists all the year round. Pay attention.It can be said that only eunuchs in the palace can bend like this.

With curiosity in her heart, she walked up to Ji Zhao and sat down. Ji Zhao introduced, "This is the cook of a friend of mine. He can make delicious dim sum! He knows I like it, so he specially sent it here!"

"Then I'm lucky!" Princess Fuchen smiled, and looked calmly at the cook who seemed to be avoiding her gaze.

Princess Fuchen had doubts in her heart, but she didn't say it directly. She chatted with Ji Zhao, and when the cook came over to make new dim sum, it was really delicious. Princess Fuchen smiled: "Your life on the mountain is so brisk, I wanted to stay here for a few days before returning, but now I am reluctant to leave."

"The princess will stay for a few more days! Come back with us then!"

"I think so too……"

The two smiled at each other.

Zong Zhen thought that Fu Chen would stay on the mountain for one night at most, but after seven days, Fu Chen hadn't come back yet.

However, the assassination of Qin Fa made progress. The assassin was finally found and brought back. At the court meeting, Renzong personally interrogated him and asked who was instigating him. Renzong had already made a decision. If it was really the Zhang family who did it, he would immediately Execute Zhang Yifei!No mercy!Even if Zhang Yifei is the queen's elder brother, the son is right, with such an elder brother, the queen's spirit in heaven would be ashamed.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty probably thought so in their hearts, and they waited for the assassin to directly recruit the Zhang family.

However, the assassin said that he was ordered by Wen Guiren to kill Qin Fa.

The entire hall fell silent, Wen Guiren was the youngest son of Prime Minister Wen's family.

All eyes were on Wen Zhichang who stood at the top, and Renzong also stared at him. Wen Zhichang was stunned for a moment, knelt down on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I am wronged. Although my son is not talented, he is absolutely unwilling to do so." How dare you do this!"

Renzong came to his senses, that's right, he knew about this youngest son of Wen Xiang's family, because he was a well-known dandy in Jinling City, who only knew how to eat, drink and play, where would such a person kill people?

Renzong nodded to Xiang Sheng, and Xiang Sheng yelled: "Stop talking nonsense! Quickly recruit! Who are you instigated by!"

The man insisted that Wen Guiren paid a lot of money to ask him to assassinate Qin Fa, so someone said: "But, Wen Guiren has no reason to assassinate Master Qin!"

"The villain doesn't know. The villain only knows that Wen Guiren asked the villain to assassinate Qin Fa. Even the money is still in my house."

This is because oil and salt are not allowed to enter. Yu Qin cleared his throat, somewhat gloating. After all, he and Wen Zhichang have been at odds since the time of the Jinshi examination. He said to Wen Zhichang with a serious face: "Mr. Invite your son to come and confront him face to face, so that your son can be innocent!"

"That's right!" Many of Yu Tan's supporters immediately agreed.

Wen Zhichang only felt that his eyes were dark. In front of His Majesty and all the officials, this kind of thing would either not touch him, or he would touch it. Even if he was innocent, he would be talked about in the future. I really want to come, what can I say? !

He immediately looked at His Majesty with trembling lips, intending to make a fool of himself, but Renzong also nodded: "Xiang Yu is right, call Guiren over here, I will give him a clean face in person!"

Wen Zhichang couldn't tell because of his suffering, Yu Tan showed a proud face, and suggested to search the assassin's house again, and Renzong also ordered people to go.

Wen Guiren was brought here soon. Hearing that he sent someone to kill Qin Fa, he was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he refused to admit it. , quietly passed a sentence, Xiang Sheng heard it, walked to Renzong's side, and said softly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has also received news from the Crown Prince's place. His Highness means that he will directly torture him in court to extract a confession."

Renzong frowned, hesitating a little, he has always ruled the world benevolently.

"Your Highness said, I can't take care of it at this time, otherwise it is inevitable that someone will be wronged. After all, he is Wen Xiang's son, and it will not be good if there is a big trouble."

Renzong made up his mind and ordered someone to be executed directly. The assassin really "recruited". It turned out that he was ordered by Yu Xin, the eldest son of Yu Qin's family, to assassinate Master Qin Faqin, and then poured dirty water on Wen Guiren.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tan was about to shout "wronged", but Wen Zhichang immediately said, "That's right! At the beginning, Yu Xiang specially sent his Dalang Jun to follow him to Zizhou!"

"Why Wen Xiang? How could my son do such a thing?!" Yu Tan shouted.

Wen Zhichang sneered: "Mr. Yu Dalang was a Tanhualang during the imperial examination three years ago. His literary talent was so brilliant that he should have entered the Imperial Academy. Unexpectedly, your old lady passed away that year, and your son has kept his filial piety for three years. This year, he just left his filial piety." , you dare to say that you privately use your power to send your son to Zizhou, and you have no other intentions?!"

"Wen Xiang speaks carefully! My Dalang is only 22 years old this year and has no qualifications. Sending him out for a trip is just to learn from you adults. What does it have to do with Master Qin?"

Before Wen Zhichang said anything, the people who had been sent to search the assassin's house came back, and sure enough they found a bag of silver, which matched the amount the assassin said.

"Hmph!" Seeing this, Wen Zhichang became even more confident, and said with a flick of his sleeves, "I have to ask your son!" He turned around and saluted Renzong, "Your Majesty, please allow Yu Xin to come to the court to confront him!"

Before Renzong could speak, the assassin "recruited" and said: "Mr. Yu Dalang came to me and said that the murder was not to seek an official, but because Wen Xiang always refuted his father in court, and he didn't give any face. Their father and son saw Wen Xiang and his father and son. It's been a long time, even if you can't drag them into the water, you still have to splash them with dirty water. Mr. Yu Dalang also said that the opportunity is rare. If you do it at this time, others will only think that it was done by the Zhang family or the son-in-law. He also made arrangements afterwards, and told me to Just feel free to kill people. Anyway, the villain is dying, and he dare not lie in front of His Majesty."

After speaking, he kowtowed respectfully.

There was an uproar in the hall.

Wen Guiren's legs were no longer weak at this time, he got up and rushed forward, knelt down on the ground and cried: "Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for me!"

Wen Zhichang followed suit and knelt down again: "Your Majesty, please make the decision!"

Wen Zhichang's faction all knelt down.

This incident lasted for more than half a month, no matter how much torture was used to extract a confession, the assassin fainted from the pain, and insisted that it was Yu Xin who did it.

Anyone with a discerning eye would think there was something strange about it, but the dagger on the assassin's body was undoubtedly a weapon for killing people. He had made a special comparison with it, and the edge of the knife could not be faked.Even Renzong felt that this was not the case, so he had no choice but to accept this fact. Yu Xin's reputation was changed, he was never hired as an official, he was exiled to the salt factory of Yancheng Supervisor for three years, and Yu Tan was fined for one year's salary.

Yu Qin fell ill in a fit of anger, and he blamed himself for sending his son to Zizhou that way!

Wen Zhichang was in the limelight for a while.

The "assassin" was scheduled to be beheaded in the vegetable market. The day before the beheading, the assassin quietly bit his tongue in the prison and committed suicide.

Chen Keye pretended to be a prison guard, and watched him die before turning around and going out, saying: "It's a worthy death, let's go all the way!"

Of course the real assassin was not caught. Since the opponent came prepared, he would not be easily caught by them.As for those who spread the news in the city that the son-in-law assassinated Qin Fa, most of them were instigated by these secret operations first, and the Wen and Yu families followed the trend when they saw the profit, but the news was invisible, and Zong Zhen found out that it was a step late , It has long been impossible to catch those people who released the news at the beginning.

Fortunately, the other party doesn't know yet, they already know the existence of these people, and they will be able to catch these people one day.

The matter went smoothly. It is said that His Royal Highness should be in a good mood, but he couldn't get any interest.

This time he coughed for a long time, even after half a month passed, his cough was still not good, he was sitting on the couch under the window coughing while reading the letter "sent" by Ji Zhao, Fuchen had already lived on the mountain for more than half a month Yue, Zongzhen coughed hard, but he couldn't figure it out. Since Fuchen didn't like Ji Zhao, why should he stay on the mountain, unwilling to come down anyway?

"Your Highness, Chen Keye is here."

"Cough cough cough—tell him to come in." Zong Zhen turned the letter onto the small table and took a teacup to drink water.

"Your Highness..." Chen Keye came in to salute, and then asked worriedly, "Why is he still coughing badly? Has Your Highness taken any medicine today?"

"It's all right, don't worry. It's all over?"

"Yes, this subordinate watched him die with his own eyes, don't worry."

"Okay..." Zong Zhen responded, thought about it, and said, "Since Pei Rong can't be found, we can find someone who looks similar to him."

Chen Keye had also met Pei Rong, so it was not difficult to think about it carefully, he replied: "Yes! People with similar looks are easy to find, and they found quite a few in the process of searching."

Zong Zhen's complexion improved: "It's better to choose the one that is the most similar, and also has a similar temperament."

"Yes! Don't worry!"

After Chen Keye left, Zong Zhen looked out of the window in a blink of an eye. The rain in Jinling City had stopped. How about the mountains?

Ji Zhao lived happily on the mountain, and was so happy that he never thought of Sichuan again. He lowered his head and pulled the corners of his lips into a smile, called Cheng Shen to come in, and said: "Go to the mountain to pick up the son-in-law and tell him that I have something to say to him. "

Cheng Shen complied and left the city immediately.

Ji Zhao hadn't seen the prince for a long time. The last time the Dragon Boat Festival was so noisy, he felt that the two of them had completely collapsed. When he saw Cheng Shen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he still couldn't recover.

Cheng Shen smiled and said, "My son-in-law, Your Highness has something to tell you, and I will send a young man to pick you up."

Ji Zhao somewhat guessed what was going on. Although he lived in the mountains, he was not blind. He knew what happened in Jinling City these days. His grandfather sent people to tell him the latest progress every day. Brother Citron Didn't mention it to him much.

Who killed Qin Fa had nothing to do with him at all, but when he heard that many people who had misunderstood him regretted running to his door to apologize, he was so relieved.

He didn't know whether the prince asked him to train him or what, he actually didn't want to go at all, this time when he returned to the city, he probably wouldn't be able to come out to play for several months, but who let him be the prince.

As soon as he said he was going back to the city, his grandmother and the others planned to follow him. Ji Zhao couldn't wait for them to pack up, so he followed Cheng Shen first. Princess Fuchen sent him to the gate of Zhuangzi, and the two stood at the gate and talked for a while , Princess Fuchen was a little worried that Ji Zhao and his brother would have another dispute.

However, in the eyes of others, it is obvious that the princess and the son-in-law are reluctant to part.

Cheng Shen watched from the side, thinking that he had to tell His Highness about this, the son-in-law and the princess have a very good relationship, His Highness must be happy to know about it!

Back in the palace, Cheng Shen rushed back to the East Palace to report the news. Zong Zhen had been waiting in the hall for a long time, Cheng Shen came in, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the son-in-law has arrived! He has already come to the East Palace."

"Hmm..." Zong Zhen's tone was calm, but his face was slightly happy.

Seeing this, Cheng Shen smiled and said, "Your Highness, when the younger one went to pick up the son-in-law, our princess kept sending the son-in-law to the gate of Zhuangzi. The two talked for a long time, which shows that the relationship is good!"

After Cheng Shen finished speaking, he waited for His Highness to praise him. After waiting for a long time, he raised his head in surprise.

His Highness looked at him coldly, and after looking at him for a while, he spoke concisely: "Get lost..."

Cheng Shen got out, and he got out for a long time and didn't understand how he angered their Highness.
