treacherous world

When Zhao Zhen heard the sound of the piano behind him stop, he also sighed softly, "The Queen Mother and Uncle Eighth Prince went to the Imperial Mausoleum this morning to prepare for Yue and Madam to enter the Imperial Mausoleum, but her bones should still be in your hands Bar?"

Mrs. Luo Xin behind her did not speak.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked around from a distance, curious but couldn't hear, scratching their ears and cheeks anxiously!

At this time, I saw a few men in white downstairs who were already approaching the attic, as if they were about to go upstairs, with weapons in their hands.

Zhao Zhen stood up slowly, Nangong Ji waved to the shadow guards, jumped off the roof, and subdued the men in white.How could those men in white be able to fight against a master like Nangong Ji, they were quickly tapped, and it was seen that they were all young girls, and the shadow guards did not hit hard.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang could not wait to get to the roof, listening to the movement below.

Zhao Zhen turned around and saw Mrs. Luo Xin sitting there blankly, staring at the Qin face in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.

Zhao Zhen put his hands behind his back, looked out the window at the "female ghosts" who had been caught by the shadow guard, and remained silent.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, thinking a little bit in their hearts—this Mrs. Luoxin, I am afraid that she is the little princess Ruyue who died young back then, and Zhao Zhen's half-brother Huangjie...it should be the same father and half-brother. Mother?If not, I wouldn't hate the Zhao family so much!

"Heh." Mrs. Luo Xin laughed suddenly, "He doesn't love me, and he doesn't love my mother. Those sayings about being obsessed with Qin Ji are just for the sake of spreading good news. What does your Zhao family really want? It is gold and silver treasures, treasures that can strengthen the national power."

Zhao Zhen listened quietly to her, and nodded after a long time, "My father is very fickle, I understand."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also sighed secretly on the roof. It seems that the former emperor was not really in love with a Qin Ji, but wanted to know the whereabouts of the treasures from Yue He.Speaking of which, Mrs. Yuehe's ancestor was probably the Qin Ji whom Taizong fell in love with back then.It is really ironic to say that, generations of a family cannot escape such a fate.

"Do you know why I want to be Qin Ji?" Mrs. Luo Xin stretched out her arms to hold the guqin, and turned around slowly. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't help frowning, is the daughter like a mother?It is exactly the same as the beauty tattooed on Abbot Xuan Bei's arm.She must have been the one who assassinated Abbot Xuanbei that day, that's why the abbot ran out like that abnormally, because he wanted to give her time to escape!

Since she is not the abbot's daughter, why does he defend her like this?Could it be that you did something to apologize to Yue and his wife back then?

Zhao Zhen looked at Luo Xin, "How can I resolve your hatred?"

Luo Xin sneered, "If hatred can be resolved, it is not hatred. Some people are naturally more vengeful. If it cannot be resolved, it is better to kill me."

Zhao Zhen frowned, "I won't kill my own siblings."

Luo Xin raised the corner of her mouth, "Do you also want to know where those treasures are?"

Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned, then shook his head with a smile, "What do I need treasure for? Hungry can't preserve fruit, cold can't keep warm, it's just a little bit brighter...it's far less bright than the stars in the sky."

After hearing what he said, Luo Xin also laughed, "Nowadays in Daning, where the weather is smooth and the weather is good and rich, there is still no shortage of money, but when you are short of money, you, the emperor, will try your best to raise money."

Zhao Zhen nodded, "Maybe."

Mrs. Luo Xin walked to the table and sat down, "When did you find out? Why didn't you expose me earlier?"

"I want to find out the ins and outs of the matter, including the people who participated in the murder of your mother and daughter." Zhao Weiwei frowned, "I only found out after a search, it turned out that it was involved in a lot... But now that time has passed, many people have retired, and their descendants Most of them are excellent, and they have several roles and it is related to the safety of my Song Dynasty. I can't vent their anger on you, so I have to wrong you. I will try my best to make up for it. You should not be for me, it is for the sake of peace in this world, right? .”

"You're really real." Mrs. Luo Xin sneered again and again, "These people have a handle in your hands, so it's convenient for you to be the emperor?"

Zhao Zhen didn't say anything to refute, but just sighed lightly, "What can I do if I kill them? The past will never come back. Besides, you have sent a brat to scare them every day for the past few years, and you have already scared them." They are terrified and panic all day long. After all, those who have done wrong things live with guilt in their hearts, fearing retribution and harming future generations, and they are the ones who suffer in the end!"

Mrs. Luo Xin stood up slowly, "That's all you want me to do?"

Zhao Zhen nodded, "I don't want to cause trouble, but I don't want to wrong you, why don't you tell me how to stop."

"Let it go..." Mrs. Luo Xin walked not far from the pool, opened a cabinet on the table, took out five spirit tablets inside, and said quietly, "This way, I can relieve my anger."

Zhao Zhen frowned deeply, "I don't want to kill you, think about it again, I can give you everything except these." After finishing speaking, he turned and went out, and several shadow guards locked the door and stood nearby, And the entire Luoxin Pavilion was also surrounded by soldiers, and the Qin Pavilion was locked tightly.

Mrs. Luoxin stayed alone in the room, gently rubbing the late emperor's spirit tablet with a white veil, and said to herself with a smile, "It's not that cheap, you know? If you owe me one point, I will pay you back ten times!"

Zhao Zhen left, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were still on the roof.

Both of them were a little confused, especially Zhan Zhao, who was very upset.

On the one hand, the situation took a turn for the worse. Zhao Zhen seemed to have more clues than they did. After all, he was in the palace, and it was easy to find out the truth by asking some old officials from the past.In other words, from the very beginning, Zhao Zhen was making arrangements.As for everyone including Bao Zheng and others, Zhao is following Zhao Zhen's layout, the purpose is to help him find out the people involved in the case and return the truth back then.Zhao Zhen's trick is not ingenious!It is very important for an emperor to hold the events of the year in his hands!It can make veterans obedient and obedient, and make their heirs loyal to their duties.The power of the emperor lies in the combination of grace and power, so there is nothing wrong with using some scheming.

But on the other hand, now that Zhao Zhen already knew the truth, he meant to hide it!It's no wonder that those involved in the events of the past are almost all old heroes who have retired, and their descendants are entrusted with important responsibilities in high positions!Don't talk about others, just talk about Xue Yixing.Once the investigation is carried out and the scandal of the year is dragged out, the officials will be implicated in a large area. In addition, and most importantly, it will damage the dignity of the royal family and the reputation of the late emperor.

Listening to Zhan Zhao, he feels that this way of doing things is not in line with his heart, and the result of caring about the overall situation is ignoring the truth, and the result of caring about the truth is ignoring the overall situation.Not to mention the dilemma, but finally bowed his head to the powerful, what is the reason for repaying evil without evil?What's more, it seems that many people should have died that year.

Bai Yutang knew that Zhan Zhao was depressed at this moment, Kaifeng Mansion always only seeks the truth, but in the face of the big situation, it can't be too reckless, if it really leads to chaos, it will be a disaster for the world!But looking at the piles of bones in that mass grave back then, how could it be possible to ignore it?

Bai Yutang wanted to listen for a while, but saw that Zhan Zhao had jumped off the roof and hurried back.

"Cat." Bai Yutang caught up and pulled him, "Why are you going? Don't be impulsive!"

Zhan Zhao shook his arm, "I'm done with resigning."

"Uh..." Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, "This is good, the more impulsive the better."

Zhan Zhao took two steps and glared at him, "If you don't try to comfort him, you'll add fuel to the flames."

"I wish you would quit," Bai Yutang walked forward with a smile, and asked, "Where will we go after quitting? Zhakong Island or our hometown in Changzhou? Otherwise, we will go to Mobei, South China Sea, Western Region... In short, where will you be?" It's all fine."

Zhan Zhao sighed, looked at Bai Yutang with complicated eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you happy to have you stay in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Bai Yutang laughed, shook his head and said, saying that he was leaving was just out of anger, and Zhan Zhao can't do anything now... This is a way no one can think of.

"Go back and ask Master Bao." Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to pull him, "Now that the truth is known, what to do next depends on wisdom, Master Bao and Pang Ji should be able to handle it well, we wait for them to make a decision. "

Zhan Zhao thinks about it, why bother asking for trouble, this is not something they can make a decision.

The two were walking back when they heard someone shouting in front of them, "Master Zhan! Hero Bai!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were taken aback for a moment, and when they looked up, they saw Bao Fu running over from afar.

"Bao Fu?" Seeing him running in such a hurry, Zhan Zhao thought that there was something wrong with Kaifeng Mansion, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"The young master is gone, did you see it?" Bao Fu asked anxiously, "I said I went out to eat with you at noon, but I didn't come back. I've been looking for it all afternoon..."

Zhan Zhao was slightly taken aback, looking at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang also frowned, just now they came out with Pang Yu, Bao Yan and Xue Yiling, and they left on the way, leaving only those three people behind, Ziying and Zheying didn't seem to follow.

"Could something have happened?" Zhan Zhao hurriedly asked Bao Fu, "Where's Pang Yu? Is he here?"

"It's not there either. The grand master sent many people to look for him, but they couldn't find them!" Bao Fu jumped up anxiously, "My Lord Zhan, someone wanted to kill An Lehou before. Could it be that this time the young master will be hurt by Chi Yu?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhan Zhao was also a little upset at this moment, he was too eager to forget these three people just now, and he didn't expect that someone was still arresting them!Now that Luoxin is under house arrest in Luoxin Pavilion, what's the use of kidnapping Pang Yu and the others?

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went to look for it immediately, and Kaifeng Mansion dispatched a large number of people to look for it.

But when it was dark, there was still no news, and everyone felt that something really happened!

Pang Ji sat in the yard beating his chest and feet, crying for Pang Yu, the single heir of his family for three generations.

Although Bao Zheng didn't say anything, he was even more anxious. Bao Yan was weak and sick since he was a child, and he was brought up with great difficulty. It was his mother's fate. He just disappeared.

When he was in a hurry, he saw Xue Yixing rushing in and asked everyone if they saw Xue Yiling, and everyone immediately fell to the bottom of their hearts - they really lost it!

"Tsk!" Zhan Zhao blamed himself so badly that he blamed himself for coming up with some idea to make Pang Yu talk routinely, this time the three of them are gone!

While feeling annoyed, he felt someone tugging at his skirt, and when he looked down, he saw that it was Xiao Sizi.

"Uh...Little Four?" Zhan Zhao saw that he was still sweating with his face upturned, obviously he had just run back.

The fourth son pointed out, "Someone brought the coffin outside!"

"What?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were taken aback, everyone hurried out to look, and saw a coffin at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion.

The two yamen servants had their acupoints tapped and stood stiffly aside... It can be seen that the person who made the shot was very skillful, because none of the yamen servants in the mansion heard the movement.

Zhan Zhao unlocked the acupuncture points for them and asked who did it.

The two yamen servants replied that it was a female ghost in white clothes!

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned—is it a female ghost again?How many ghosts are there?

There was only one coffin, which was placed sideways at the door.

Everyone felt their hearts twitching—who is in the coffin?

"That..." Pang Ji patted Bao Zheng, "Old Bao, come here!"

Bao Zheng's heart was pounding, what if he opened it and saw that it was his own son's corpse... He didn't even dare to think about it, so he said to Zhan Zhao, "Guard Zhan!"

Zhan Zhao also beat the drums, and went over bravely, hesitating, when Bai Yutang came up to the side and raised his hand and lifted the lid of the coffin, causing everyone to close their eyes in shock.

Pang Ji was full of "Amitabha".

At the same time, Xue Yixing yelled, "Ling'er!"

When everyone looked again, they saw Xue Yiling lying in the coffin, and their faces immediately turned pale.

"She's not dead!" Xue Yixing rushed over to test her breath first, and found that it was only weak and nothing serious, so he was relieved, and quickly carried her out of the coffin.

At this moment, Gongsun Zhao Pu and others rushed over after hearing the news. Gongsun checked Xue Yiling's pulse and told everyone, "It's just a common Mongolian sweat medicine, and there's nothing serious about it!"

Zhan Zhao's attention fell on Xue Yiling's hand, and she saw a letter in her hand!

Bai Yutang reached out to take the letter, and saw two names on the envelope—Bao Zheng and Pang Ji.

Bao Zheng frowned, took out the letter and read it, and saw a sentence written in blood on the letter-the wronged soul can't leave Wufen Village.

"It's the same as Fifth Sister's letter to Bao Yan!" Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.

"It seems that the other party didn't want to let it go, and took Bao Yan and Pang Yu as hostages first." Bai Yutang also nodded, "The purpose..."

"The purpose is to thoroughly investigate the injustice case in Wufen Village back then, and make the grievance known to the world." Bao Zheng sighed softly, "It seems that it was a design for the fifth younger sister to meet Bao Yan by chance on the official road."

Zhao Pu frowned, "This move can be regarded as drastic. Didn't the emperor take care of the old officials? If he wanted to take care of the old officials, he would hurt Bao Xiang and Grand Master Pang. If there was something wrong with Pang Yu, Concubine Pang would definitely be heartbroken... It seems that the fallen Madam Xin is quite mature."

Everyone nodded, they were indeed scheming.

"Um……"

At this moment, Xue Yiling hummed softly, as if he was about to wake up.

"Ling'er!" Xue Yixing didn't seem to be very strict with her on weekdays, but in fact he loved her very much, and now he called her softly, hoping that she would wake up without any injuries.

"Huh?" Xue Yiling shook his head twice, but he was sober, and saw Xue Yixing at a glance, "Brother!"

"They were also taken away by those people!" Xue Yiling told Zhan Zhao anxiously, "We were planning to go back to Kaifeng Mansion, but Pang Yu was called away by a friend. Bao Yan told him not to run around, and he said he was an old friend. There may be some clues that can help investigate the case, so Bao Yan followed. I was curious, and I followed to play. Unexpectedly, when I arrived in the suburbs, the friend suddenly disappeared, and then many people in white came over and took us all. I was knocked out, and when I woke up, in a very dark room, Bao Yan and Pang Yu were on one side, and we were tied to a chair! A woman in white came in and gave me some medicine , I don’t remember after that!”

"Woman in white?" Bai Yutang frowned, "Do you remember the looks of those who attacked you?"

Xue Yiling frowned, "Oh, it's scary, his face is as pale as a female ghost!"

As soon as Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other when they heard about the female ghost, they instinctively thought of Fifth Sister!

"It seems that one of Pang Yu's friends is with them, and Pang Yu may have discovered something, otherwise he would not have caused a murder." Gongsun asked Xue Yiling, "Where were you last attacked?"

"In the suburbs, near the official road to the west!" Xue Yiling replied.

"The suburbs?" Bao Zheng slightly frowned, "Is the west... far from the imperial mausoleum?"

"Not far!" Xue Yiling quickly replied, and Bao Zheng's face sank, "Today the Eighth Prince and the Empress Dowager have been in the Imperial Mausoleum all day, so there shouldn't be any trouble, right?"

"Old Bao, there are tens of thousands of guards in the palace, many of us old men!" Pang Ji stomped his feet anxiously, "Hurry up and find Yu'er and the others!"

Bao Zheng naturally knew what to look for, but how to fight?Kaifeng is so big, there are so many people.

"Maybe……"

When everyone was at a loss, Zhan Zhao suddenly said, "Someone knows."

Bao Zheng frowned, "Did you say Mrs. Luo Xin?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, and, "We can't find it, maybe they can find it!"

Everyone was taken aback, "They?"

At this time, Bai Yutang found a whistle knowingly, and with a bang, the door of the fourth son's room was pushed open, Stone and Scissors rushed out at a trot, rubbing their tails around the crowd.

"That's right! Their noses are sharper than a dog's, so they might not be able to find someone!" After saying that, Zhao Pu waved to Stone and Scissors, and took Gongsun and Shadow Guard to the western suburbs to look for someone.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also wanted to follow, but were stopped by Bao Zheng, "Wait a minute! This is just a way out. Since the Ninth Prince and Mr. Gongsun did it, it would be a waste if you two go! Why don't you choose the second way out!"

"The second one?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned at the same time—referring to Mrs. Luo Xin?
