Li Zhan... also knows the plot?

The sudden guess that popped up in Ji Qingzhou's mind made him feel very absurd.

But when he thought about it again, he felt that it was possible. Since he could know the plot, why couldn't Li Zhan?

In a world with bugs, it is logical that there are two people with bugs!

Ji Qingzhou also thought that Li Zhan might know the person behind Tu Dayou, so he deduced that Tu Dayou intended to poison him.But if this is the case, many places will not make sense. It is not difficult for Li Zhan to guess that someone is going to kill him, but it is not easy to find out who is going to attack him.

After all, the person behind the scenes would not have only one nail in the palace. If Li Zhan had no other information channels, how could he know with certainty that the other party sent Tu Dayou to harm him?

That man is not a fool, so he shouldn't post a list of all the people he buried in the palace, okay?

But Li Zhan's tone was very firm, so sure that he seemed to have seen Tu Dayou poisoned, but in fact Tu Dayou had never done anything.Someone knows about something that has never been done. The most reasonable explanation is that Li Zhan knows the plot.

This idea kept spreading in Ji Qingzhou's mind, and then he couldn't help connecting many things that he couldn't figure out before...

His biggest doubt when he first entered the palace was that Li Zhan had a different temperament from the original book.Although the regent in the original book is also very cunning, but he acts more openly, otherwise he would not have killed so many palace people at the palace banquet.

But the Li Zhan he knew was more introverted, he was still a decisive person in his bones, but the side he showed was even more elusive, even in the court, he was very sophisticated and transparent, often saying Just a few words can turn the situation around.

He is very proficient in understanding the courtiers and how to handle them. He doesn't look like someone who has just started assisting the government, but he seems to know the whole court like the palm of his hand.

Ji Qingzhou was also very puzzled when Li Zhan moved to Yinghui Pavilion.

Moving to Yinghui Pavilion is tantamount to living in the palace. This is a very controversial behavior. The courtiers had been arguing for a long time and opposed it all the time, but they did not change Li Zhan's mind in the end.In the original book, Li Zhan never made such a move from beginning to end.

At that time, Ji Qingzhou secretly wondered, he obviously only changed the palace banquet and Fengxian Pavilion, how could he cause such a big change to the plot of the original book?Thinking about it now... Maybe this change has nothing to do with him at all.

And these people in Yinghui Pavilion, Li Zhan selected them almost overnight, all of them were innocent people.In the later getting along, Ji Qingzhou also found that they were all very loyal, and it didn't seem like they were chosen randomly.

Ji Qingzhou remembers that Li Zhan was still cautious in the palace in those early days, and he didn't even eat much food in the palace.That means that at that time Li Zhan had no one to trust in the palace. It was not until the formation of the Yinghui Pavilion that Li Zhan gradually became more comfortable in the palace.

Since Li Zhan had no foundation in the palace at that time, how did he choose these people?

There is no one to help, and there is no time to investigate, and all the people who are reliable are selected...

It's as if he already knew the temperament of these people.

There was also the matter of killing Tang Yi at the beginning. In the original book, Tang Yi was Ji Qingzhou's lackey and did a lot of bad things.Ji Qingzhou also had doubts about Tang Yi because he knew the plot. Unexpectedly, Li Zhan found Tang Yi's handle before him, and killed him in front of the Jinluan Hall.

Thinking of this, Ji Qingzhou couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

No wonder Li Zhan specially asked him to watch the execution that day.

At that time, Ji Qingzhou didn't quite understand why Li Zhan specially asked him to go to the Jinluan Hall to watch that scene...

Now that I think about it, killing Tang Yi with a stick is not only a warning to the courtiers, but also a warning to Ji Qingzhou!

And about the Qiu family...

Why did Li Zhan get the handle easily when he wanted to attack the Qiu family, whether it was the collusion with the Secretary of Internal Affairs, or Qiu Lanhui's squandering in the Jiaofang Division... because Li Zhan knew each of them a long time ago Stains and weaknesses!

Even including Chizhou...Why does Li Zhan trust him so much, because Li Zhan knows that he is a loyal person...

In an instant, everything seemed to have an explanation!

When Ji Qingzhou looked at Li Zhan again, he felt terrified.

If Li Zhan knew the plot, he should also know that he was the most damned person.Ji Qingzhou couldn't imagine that Li Zhan might have tried him countless times before he realized it, and even had murderous intentions.

But Li Zhan didn't kill him, at least not yet.

Maybe it's because he didn't do anything to offend Li Zhan, or maybe... Li Zhan still keeps him useful.

Just like the Qiu family, didn't Li Zhan wait until the most suitable time to do it?

So will Li Zhan attack him at some point in the future?

"What are you thinking?" Li Zhan's cold voice came suddenly, Ji Qingzhou was startled, and hurriedly restrained his mind.

Li Zhan looked up at him, saw that his forehead was sweating, and his face was a little pale, so he couldn't help but frowned, and asked, "Why is his face so ugly?"

"My lord..." Ji Qingzhou said, his voice was a little hoarse, he forcibly stabilized his mind and said: "I'm just worried about brother Dayou...he intends to harm the lord, so naturally he should not be forgiven, I..."

Li Zhan looked very calm when he heard the words, he just looked at Ji Qingzhou and said, "Is he very important to you?"

"Brother Dayou was the first person I met after entering the palace. If it wasn't for his care, I don't know what would have happened now." Ji Qingzhou said: "I am also responsible for him getting to where he is today."

Li Zhan said with a faint smile: "This king won't implicate you in his affairs, right?" "I didn't say this to excuse... I really think so." Ji Qingzhou said.

Ji Qingzhou didn't dare to take it lightly when he faced Li Zhan in the past. Now that he knows Li Zhan's secret, he is even more at a loss.Only at this moment did he clearly feel how terrifying the mind of the man in front of him was...

In all fairness, if he was not dressed as Ji Qingzhou but the Regent, and he held such a great power in his hand, he would probably find a way to get rid of all potential hidden dangers one by one at the first time.But Li Zhan was able to hold his breath, and made every step of the game, every move was just right.

If Ji Qingzhou hadn't become suspicious when he knew the plot of the original book, I'm afraid no one would have seen Li Zhan's identity...

"I have a question for you." Li Zhan looked at Ji Qingzhou and said.

"What does the lord want to ask?" Ji Qingzhou said nervously.

A moment of hesitation flashed in Li Zhan's eyes, and then he said, "When did you know that... Tu Dayou is doing things for others?"

Ji Qingzhou was startled when he heard the words, and felt a little danger...

"I...I..." Ji Qingzhou hesitated, but he dared not answer.

If he said that he only found out after this inspection, would Li Zhan believe it?

If it is said that he knew it before, then he has been helping Tuda to hide it all the time, I am afraid that Li Zhan will become suspicious...

Li Zhan caught a glimpse of Ji Qingzhou's expression, but he seemed to have expected it. He didn't continue to ask, but took a document on the desk and handed it to Ji Qingzhou, and said: "This is the list of all the servants involved in this matter. , Tomorrow you will take this king's handbook and lead the Department of Punishment to arrest people."

Ji Qingzhou was taken aback, he didn't expect Li Zhan to cover that topic so easily, and he was at a loss for a while.

He uncovered the list that Li Zhan handed over, and glanced at dozens of people on it, some of whom he knew.

At that moment, Ji Qingzhou realized that although Li Zhan knew the plot, his situation was different.

He transmigrated into the book, so he couldn't remember many plots, and it was even more impossible for him to know those unimportant side characters, because the book would not explain them.But Li Zhan knew all the servants in the palace like the palm of his hand, which meant that he was probably... reborn?

This realization made Ji Qingzhou feel a little more uneasy.

If Li Zhan is reborn, it means that he has experienced all the plots in the book once.In other words, in the original book, how Ji Qingzhou did many evils, how he provoked the relationship between Li Zhan and the little emperor, and finally caused the little emperor and Li Zhan's uncle and nephew to almost turn against each other... Li Zhan should have vividly remembered all these things, right?

Ji Qingzhou silently lit a wax for himself in his heart, he felt that he might be doomed.

Li Zhan is not a saint, and if he treats him like this now, maybe he really just didn't think about how to deal with him...

After all, a villain must have the pomp of a villain.

Even if you die, you have to have the face you deserve...

"Don't be sour. Since you promised Baotu Dayou's life, I won't break your promise to you." Li Zhan said flatly.

Ji Qingzhou was a little surprised when he heard the words, and hurriedly thanked Li Zhan, but felt that he might be too pessimistic.

In case Li Zhanhui sees the truth and sees his determination and courage to "rehabilitate himself", maybe he will spare his life...

That night, Ji Qingzhou had nightmares again and again.

After a while, I dreamed of the plot in the original book. After Li Zhan had a big fight with the little emperor, he ordered people to take Ji Qingzhou, counted his crimes in front of the whole court, and then sentenced him to death...

Once again he dreamed that Li Zhan found his belly and asked him who the child belonged to.In the dream, Ji Qingzhou didn't dare to admit it, she cried and begged Li Zhan to spare her life, and the baby was born while crying.The child didn't know how to grow. The outline of a small face and Li Zhan were carved out of the same mold. Li Zhan stared at the child with a strange expression, and he couldn't see any emotion...

After a night of nightmares, Ji Qingzhou woke up in the morning even more haggard than if he hadn't slept.

After Ji Qingzhou got up, he found that it was already past the time to go to court. He was frightened out of his wits and was about to run out with his clothes on.

But Xiao Shan pulled him back and said: "The lord gave an order early in the morning, saying that there is no need to call you. When you wake up, go to Mr. Qin to get the lord's letter. He said that he has already ordered you to do something, and you only need to finish the matter today. "

Only then did Ji Qingzhou come back to his senses, remembering that today he was going to take the Punishment Department to arrest someone.

Ji Qingzhou used to see the scene of palace people who made mistakes being arrested in Gongdou dramas. He thought that today he would have to experience many scenes of people crying for help, but he found out when he actually took people to get them. Most of the palace people were quite calm when they were arrested.

That kind of calm and despair made Ji Qingzhou feel more suffocating than crying.

He had seen that expression on Tu Dayou's face before, and he had also seen it on Xiao Shan's face.

That expression was probably the same as when he faced Li Zhan's questioning last night, unable to resist, he could only let it go.

Dozens of people were arrested in less than two hours.

During this period, no one resisted, only a few people were timid, their legs weakened from fright, and they were dragged away by the people of the Punishment Department.

"After the person has taken it, what do you do next?" Ji Qingzhou asked Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng and Ji Qingzhou stood side by side in the alley outside the Punishment Department, looked up at the sky and said, "Have you ever seen someone from the Punishment Department use torture?"

"No." Ji Qingzhou said.

"How about elder brother taking you there for a long time?" Qin Zheng looked at him and said with a smile on his face.

As soon as Qin Zheng finished speaking, Ji Qingzhou heard a scream.The scream was separated by several walls, and when it came, the sound had been blocked for the most part, but it still made Ji Qingzhou's hair stand on end when it reached Ji Qingzhou's ears.

"Did the prince... order?" Ji Qingzhou asked in a trembling voice.

"Ah?" Qin Zheng was startled, and then saw Ji Qingzhou's pale face.

Qin Zheng suddenly came back to his senses, covered Ji Qingzhou's ears with one hand, pushed the person outside, and when he couldn't hear the sound after leaving the alley, he apologized and said with a smile: "I forgot that you are timid... right? Living……"

Ji Qingzhou took a deep breath and turned his head to look in the direction of the Punishment Division.

Qin Zheng hugged him by the shoulders and led him forward, saying, "I was teasing you just now, don't complain to the lord...I'll be scolded again if I scare you and vomit later."

Ji Qingzhou's thoughts were a little confused, and he didn't quite hear the overtones in Qin Zheng's words, so he frowned and asked, "Would it be a good idea for them to review pictures like this?"

"Tu Dayou has already recruited, so what else is there to interrogate?" Qin Zheng said.

Ji Qingzhou nodded when he heard the words, and felt a little relieved.

"Are you a little frightened?" Qin Zheng asked: "I didn't expect that the prince... would be so cruel?"

Ji Qingzhou glanced at him and said: "It's not appropriate to talk about the prince behind his back."

"Haven't we already become our own people?" Qin Zheng said with a smile: "Actually, sometimes I can't understand the prince's mind, just like this time...he is clearly targeting the Qiu family, but he still insists on Do it to the chamberlain."

Ji Qingzhou knew the meaning of Qin Zheng's words. There is a saying that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. The internal servant should rectify it, but there must be a limit.Li Zhan is taking people in a big way now, not as if he is pursuing responsibility, but as if he wants to clean up the entire internal servants.

Those who have problems are merciless, even those who have only slightly contaminated the Qiu family will be cleaned up together.

After this cleansing, the entire internal affairs department will feel afraid of Li Zhan, and no one will have another heart in a short time.

Qin Zheng didn't understand what Li Zhan did, but Ji Qingzhou did.

Li Zhan's move seems to have gone too far, but it is actually a quick cut, just like when Tang Yi was killed with a cane. Others may think that Tang Yi is not guilty of death, but Ji Qingzhou knows...Since Tang Yi has already moved his mind, If you keep him, there will be endless troubles.

"Do you know who the person behind Tu Dayou is?" Qin Zheng asked suddenly.

"When he confessed to the prince that day, you and I were outside the palace. If you didn't know, how would I know?" Ji Qingzhou said.

Qin Zheng lowered his voice and said, "You have such a good relationship with Tuda, didn't he tell you secretly?"

"You want to know, why don't you ask him yourself?" Ji Qingzhou said.

Qin Zheng sighed and said, "I'm just curious... why do you think the prince is hiding it from us?"

"Maybe I want to hide it from one of us, and I'm afraid that the other one will be unable to control his mouth if he finds out." Ji Qingzhou said.

"Are you mocking me?" Qin Zheng asked.

"No..." Ji Qingzhou denied.

In fact, not only Qin Zheng was curious about this matter, but Ji Qingzhou was also curious.

But he knows very well that he should not ask. Sometimes the more he knows, the more troublesome he is.

He guessed that Tu Dayou hadn't told him about it all this time, and he probably had his own intentions.

The people in the Punishment Division are very efficient in their work.

Dozens of people were interrogated within two days.

Ji Qingzhou heard from Qin Zheng that the first few people used torture well, but the people behind were basically like beans poured out of bamboo tubes, and they took the initiative to recruit whether they should say it or not.

Presumably, he was so frightened by the screams of the people in front that his defenses were broken...

On the morning of the third day, all the confessions from the Punishment Department came out.

At the same time, the investigation of Dali Temple also has results...

Qiu Lanhui spent a huge amount of prostitution in the Jiaofang Division, regardless of the part in arrears, the part that was paid before is not small.Although the Qiu family had a great business, according to the rules of the Yu Dynasty, no matter whether the property was obtained from business or the imperial salary, there must be a basis for it.

Just like citizens in modern society also have to pay personal income tax, if someone maliciously evades tax, they will be held legally responsible once they are found out.Although the Great Yu Dynasty was not as rigorous as modern society, many things were also bound by laws and regulations. Normally, no one would deliberately investigate, but once they were investigated, basically all the major issues were found out.

Although the Qiu family was able to produce a lot of income this time, what they spent far exceeded this income.

So where did the money come from? There must be an explanation...

The confession that the Punishment Division obtained from the servants just explained the money of unknown origin in the Qiu family.

"You bribed people outside the palace, and then arranged for the servants in the palace, and the ten taels of silver were sold to the palace at a price of 15 taels." Li Zhan said indifferently: "Then I bought five and eight, and the internal servants broke up the things. Divide it out, and the missing half disappears out of thin air, and there is nowhere to check."

A minister said: "It's no wonder that in the past two years, the officials have often participated in various expenses in the palace, and the various expenses in the palace are too extravagant. I didn't expect it to be because of this!" What he did, "The poor empress dowager repeatedly ordered people to reduce various expenses in the palace, but she didn't know that the money saved by the empress dowager and her majesty actually went into the pocket of the uncle!"

As soon as he said this, the voices of discussion suddenly increased, and Uncle Qiu Guo's face turned ashen, and he didn't even bother to argue.

A few days ago when Li Zhan said that he wanted to investigate the Jiaofang Secretary, he had expected today, but unfortunately Li Zhan's actions were too fast, and there was no chance for him to make amends.When he realized the problem, all the people involved outside the palace were controlled by Li Zhan, let alone the inside of the palace... Even the Secretary of the Jiaofang was brought in as a pawn, which shows that Li Zhan planned it. How meticulous.

So today Qiu Lanting can only be caught without a fight.

If he hadn't cared about his wife and children at home, Qiu Lanting might not want to come to the court today.

But the matter has come to this point, if he cooperates well, maybe Li Zhan can give the Qiu family a chance because of the empress dowager's face?

"We have all the witnesses and material evidence. The Ministry of Punishment will issue a regulation according to the law. The Qiu family will be temporarily detained in the sky prison until the Ministry of Punishment agrees on a result before disposing of it." Li Zhan said lightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, some guards stepped forward and dragged away the unconscious Qiu Lanting.

In fact, no one would object to Li Zhan even if he was sent to the Qiu family, but the Queen Mother was involved in this matter, so Li Zhan handed over this offending job to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and he left it alone.But everyone in the courtiers knew that the matter was settled, the only difference was whether it was a day earlier or a few days later.

"One other thing..." After Li Zhan finished speaking, his eyes fell on Ji Qingzhou for a moment, and he said, "Yao Chang'an, the head of the internal affairs department, has been feeling unwell recently. Geng Geng, that’s why he was specially given to go out of the palace to rest in peace.”

The courtiers were silent when they heard the words, but they had already expected this arrangement.

Even if Yao Chang'an hadn't participated in such a big incident, it would be impossible for Yao Chang'an to stay in this position.Li Zhan didn't pursue him, which was considered extra merciful.

"Recommended by Yao Chang'an, this king has thought over and over again, and Ji Qingzhou will temporarily take up the position of Chief of Internal Affairs Department." Li Zhan said.

As soon as Li Zhan's words came out, everyone immediately exploded, and the voice of discussion was buzzing.

Ji Qingzhou was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect this to happen at all.

It wasn't until a little servant presented Ji Qingzhou the python robe and waist badge that symbolized the identity of the chief servant, that he came back to his senses and took it in his hand blankly.When he took the python robe, it meant that his status had been promoted from the chief eunuch of the sixth rank to the chief eunuch of the fourth rank.

This is the highest rank a servant can get...

Ji Qingzhou couldn't figure out why Li Zhan promoted him like this!

Ji Qingzhou looked at Li Zhan with undisguised shock and bewilderment.In front of all the ministers, Li Zhan met Ji Qingzhou's eyes. There was no emotion on his face, as if the situation in front of him was normal for him.However, in the short moment when he and Ji Qingzhou looked at each other, a faint smile flashed in his eyes almost invisible.

It's just that the smile was so short that even Ji Qingzhou didn't notice it.

"Boss Ji, thank you." The servant reminded in a low voice.

Ji Qingzhou hurriedly kowtowed to Li Zhan and the little emperor to thank Li Zhan and the little emperor with the python robe.

Sitting on the dragon chair, the little emperor secretly smiled at Ji Qingzhou, looking very happy.

"My lord... I'm afraid..." A courtier was about to intervene, but his sleeves were pulled by the people around him.

The man hesitated for a moment, and finally held back his words.

These days, they have already experienced Li Zhan's vigorous and decisive style, so there is no need to get into trouble with this kind of thing.

Whoever the prince wants to be the head of the internal service department is up to him, there is no need for them to worry about it...

Besides, the prince has just cleaned up the Qiu family today, and he doesn't know whether it is a good mood or a bad mood, and contradicting him at a time like this is definitely not going to pay off.

The internal servant has been cleaned by Li Zhan now, who will be the chief executive, what difference does it make?

"Tell me, why does the prince favor and trust Young Master Ji so much?"

After going down to court, all the ministers discussed in low voices.

"The king's heart is unpredictable, and the prince's heart is even more unpredictable!"

"Although Young Master Ji has some talent and learning, he is too young."

"Yeah, it may not be a good thing to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility at a young age."

"Just wait and see...the higher you climb, the harder you fall..."

Everyone nodded in agreement, then walked away talking in low voices.

The courtiers implied that no one wanted to shake Li Zhan's decision, but they all waited to see Ji Qingzhou suffer...

After leaving the court, Li Zhan left a few people to discuss matters, while Ji Qingzhou personally sent the little emperor to the palace school.The little emperor wanted to see him wear the python robe very much, but Ji Qingzhou couldn't wear him out, so he changed into it.

The boa robe is not as neat as the pure-color inner servants. The patterns and tailoring are extremely complicated, and it looks extremely heavy when worn on the body. Ji Qingzhou is not used to it.But the little emperor liked it very much, this time he didn't even let Ji Qingzhou hug him, for fear of wrinkling Ji Qingzhou's new clothes.

After Ji Qingzhou sent the little emperor to the palace school, he planned to return to Yinghui Pavilion.

However, when he walked outside the Golden Luan Hall, he met an unexpected person.

"Fourth prince." Ji Qingzhou bowed to him.

With a smile on his face, King Hengjun looked at Ji Qingzhou for a moment, his eyes were a little unscrupulous, which made Ji Qingzhou very uncomfortable.

"The clothes fit so well on you, no wonder the third brother insisted on making you the chief steward." King Heng laughed.

Ji Qingzhou frowned upon hearing this, not knowing how to answer.

He still remembered that the drunk Hengjun Wang spoke a lot of nonsense in front of him.

Fortunately, the other party looked very sober at the moment, so he probably wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary.

"Have a cup of tea with me, I have a few words I want to say to you," King Heng said.

"The prince has something to say, but it's okay to say it. The slave has to return to Yinghui Pavilion." Ji Qingzhou said.

The smile on King Heng's face faded, and he said, "Press me with third brother?"

"Don't dare." Ji Qingzhou said: "The fourth prince has something to say, but it's okay to say it, the servant is listening."

"Are you sure you want to say it here?" Hengjun Wang looked around, took a few steps forward, stopped at a place only half a step away from Ji Qingzhou, then approached Ji Qingzhou in a low voice and said: "You are really interesting!" Those who are capable, whether it is the third brother or Tu Dayou, are so attentive to you around..."

Ji Qingzhou was startled when he heard the words, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at him.

He said... There is a big picture?

King Heng is the one behind Tu Dayou?
