"Your Highness, this omission is due to my lack of strict governance. It is really my fault, but please give me a chance to make up for my mistakes, and catch the murderer for Master Luo, and then punish him!" Cao Weishan was sweating profusely, looking When I got out, I was very anxious.

"Master Cao, get up first.

Show Mr. Cao a seat and add tea. "

There was no sullen look on Qi Xiao's face, and he was calm and breezy, but Cao Weishan was confused, and his legs trembled guiltily.

The Cao family is a wealthy family, and many of them have been well-educated and well-educated in the literary world. Cao Weishan's father, Cao Zan, was a bachelor of the Hongwen Museum and a well-known scholar in the world.

Ordinarily, Cao Weishan should be a noble and aloof person from such a background, but he is not, or on the surface he is not.

Cao Weishan naturally has his pride in inheriting Cao's family education, but he has washed away all his literati spirit during the seven years in the Ministry of Punishment, and has cultivated his current smooth way of doing things.

Cao Weishan felt righteous indignation about the case of Qing Luoyu of Dali Temple, not to mention the tragedy that happened under his rule. Interfering, there are more people who can disturb the matter. If he is convicted and dismissed at this moment, Luo Yu's case may become an unsolved case. How can he feel at ease for the rest of his life? !No, he can't make it through.

Moreover, Pei Hao, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is alone and lonely, and he has always been upright and unyielding. If something happens, he can still take care of it.

So he has to bow his head and plead guilty at this moment, and he can't ignore it.

It's just that I don't know what kind of heart this King of Chu has?

Zong Sheng served Cao Weishan a cup of hot tea.

Cao Weishan looked at Qi Xiao cautiously, not knowing whether to drink the tea or not.

"Master Cao, do you know why I bothered you to make this trip late at night?"

When Cao Weishan heard this, he wanted to kneel down to Qi Xiao again, but Zong Sheng was beside him, grabbed him immediately, and sat him back down.

Zong Sheng didn't try hard, but still surprised Cao Weishan. Didn't this mean to punish him?

"The humble minister is stupid."

"I came here tonight to confirm a guess. I didn't really want to embarrass Mr. Cao. On the contrary, if we want to find out this matter, we need your help, Mr. Cao."

Cao Weishan looked at Qi Xiao, not sure what he wanted to do for a while.

But he is an idle prince, shouldn't this matter be avoided?Why are you really worried?It's not enough to go around with Pei Hao during the day, and there is still a scene in the middle of the night, is it just for show?Or deliberately put on a show in front of him?

"My minister is panicked, please give orders from Your Highness."

Now that the night is coming to an end, Qi Xiao and Cao Weishan will not be able to explain clearly for a while, so they simply did not explain, and said bluntly: "Master Cao, please interrogate everyone in the Luo family one by one tomorrow, and I will wait for Master Cao's confession in Dali Temple .”

"Yes, I will handle it carefully."

After sending Cao Weishan away, Baixiqiao finally figured out what Chi Yue meant. The assassin couldn't find him now, so he should catch the internal response hidden in Luo's mansion.

"Xiao'er, if we make such a big commotion tonight, won't we startle the snake?"

Qi Xiao rubbed his brows, and sighed: "If he is afraid and wants to escape, it will save us trouble, I am afraid that he will really do everything perfectly, without any flaws.

Wait for news from Cao Weishan tomorrow.

Sleepy, let's all go to bed. "

***

It was supposed to be dawn in another hour, and the night finally calmed down again. When Zong Sheng returned to his room, he found someone. He was alert for a moment, and entered the room lightly.

"Are you back? Go to sleep."

It's Chi Yue.

The man just lay on Zong Sheng's bed in a big way, covered with Zong Sheng's quilt.

Zong Sheng froze on the spot, not knowing whether to chop him with his sword or throw him out.

But...with Chi Yue's skill, Zong Sheng couldn't do both.

A big fight at this moment might wake Qi Xiao up.

Zong Sheng would not trouble Qi Xiao for anyone or anything.

Chi Yue closed his eyes, turned over, let the outside of the bed out, and said lazily: "It's not the first time, why are you acting so hypocritical... Don't worry, I won't bully you."

When Zong Sheng heard this, he should have been annoyed, but for some reason, there was some embarrassment hidden in his anger. Chi Yue's words were not wrong, but they sounded vulgar.

When they first entered Wudu Mansion, a bunch of children slept on straw, later they slept on bunk beds, and later they had a room. Zong Sheng and Chi Yue lived in the same room, so they naturally slept on the same bed, but Chi Yue was overbearing and dominated alone. Get on the bed and let Zong Sheng sleep on the floor. Every night for a bed, Zong Sheng has to be beaten by Chi Yue, and he has to sleep on the floor after the beating. He has been bullied by Chi Yue.

It wasn't until... one time that Zong Sheng was seriously injured that Chi Yue gave up the bed and took care of Zong Sheng for several days and nights. Later, the two of them seemed to be able to coexist peacefully.

Zong Shengchu was in a daze on the spot, Chi Yue ignored him, his breathing was extremely shallow but smooth, as if he had really fallen asleep.

After a long time, Zong Sheng finally moved. He took off his robe, shoes and boots, and lay down on the bed, lying upside down with Chi Yue.

Chi Yue moved again, let out half of the quilt, and kicked it to cover Zong Sheng.

"...Why are you in my room?"

"The rooms in Yangxi Zhai are all arranged, otherwise I'll sleep on the roof?"

There are two rooms on the left and right sides of Qi Xiao’s main wing, one for Baixi Bridge, one for Zong Sheng, and four rooms in the east and west wings of Yangxi Zhai, all of which are occupied by Qi Xiao’s personal guards brought by Yuanjing, and there is indeed no time. room up.

"...How do you know this is my room?"

"It smells.

It's remarkable that your smell hasn't changed in ten years, it's easy to recognize. "

When Zong Sheng said that, he suddenly felt like he was choking on water, and almost "choked" him to death. Why did he ask? !Chi Yue clearly played with him!

Knowing that Zong Sheng was depressed, Chi Yue couldn't help but chuckled, and fell asleep as soon as he turned his head.

Chi Yue didn't lie to Zong Sheng, nor did he want to play tricks on him. Chi Yue really recognized the smell on Zong Sheng's body. His five senses were sharper than ordinary people, and when he entered this room, he immediately smelled it, which made him feel familiar. The taste is hard to describe and hard to explain. He feels that Zong Sheng always has the smell of sunshine on his body. Maybe it's because Zong Sheng likes to bask in the sun very much. On sunny days, he must dry all the clothes and quilts, and even pull Chi Yue out. Even if you are away all day, open the windows to let the sun shine in.

Perhaps it was because they were all born in poverty, and their clothes were always in tatters, rotten, smelly, and moldy. Zong Sheng hated the dirty smell very much, and soap horns cost money, but sunshine was never stingy.

Chi Yue has been stealing and deceiving on the street since he could remember, running away like a mouse, burrowing into the cracks of the ground like a mouse, and the dark corner is the place he feels safe, but Zong Sheng forced him to expose Sun, how funny.

***

As the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the streets and alleys of the Yuan capital became more and more lively. Except for the government servants and soldiers who went door-to-door to search, everything seemed to be as usual.

Sitting on the second floor of Qinxin Tea House, Tang Ling looked at the crowds coming and going in the street below, and heard people all around whispering about the case of Dali Temple Qing Luo Yu.

When Tang Ling came last time, the Capital Protectorate surrounded the Qinxin Tea House like an iron barrel. The tea house seemed to belong to Tang Ling's own family. It was closed for half a day and no business was allowed. Today Tang Ling came again, and the shopkeeper saw him from a distance. He was about to kneel down to him. If the Capital Protectorate surrounds the tea house again at this juncture, the common people will definitely link him with Luo Yu's case, and Qinxin Tea House will not have to do business at all.

Tang Ling entered the door with only Qing Lan, Ye Huai, a servant, and a guard, and there was no one else. The shopkeeper looked around for a while to confirm that the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Government was not following, and then he was relieved.

Tang Ling was a little funny, how could Cao Weishan take care of him, an idler now.

Tang Ling was drinking tea when Qing Lan trotted over with a small box in her arms, her expression nervous and excited.

"Son!"

"Why do you make it look like a thief?" Tang Ling couldn't help laughing.

"My lord! It's sold!" Qing Lan moved closer to Tang Ling's ear and said in a low voice, "Three hundred gold!"

Tang Ling asked Qinglan to sell three chess games to Guanqilou, one for one hundred gold. Qinglan immediately felt that Tang Ling was crazy, even crazier than Qi Xiao. Who would have thought that the boss of Guanqilou not only agreed, but He was elated in the promise, and Qing Lan was dumbfounded when he gave the money without any ambiguity.

Tang Ling said with a smile: "Is your son's name not worth the price?"

Qing Lan was speechless, and whispered silently: "It's definitely not worth it in Da Zhou."

Tang Ling couldn't help laughing out loud: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be more price increases."

"Huh?" Qing Lan was completely confused.

Although my young master is proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, no matter in Da Zhou or Chen, there are few younger generations who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him, but even if Da Chen established the country with martial arts, everyone is not without calligraphy. The three chess games are enough to feed and drink the Marquis of Xun'an's mansion for two or three years.

Seeing Qing Lan's stupid look, Tang Ling shook her head lightly and said, "Emperor Chen is good at chess."

"Huh? This son said it before."

At Baiyan Mountain, Tang Ling played a game of chess with the emperor, and Qing Lan stood by the side for almost two hours, her legs almost broke.

"Chen Guo is a martial artist, His Majesty values ​​military generals more, even if they come from a poor family, they can have a chance to stand out, like hunting in Baiyan Mountain.

If you can't do martial arts, you can learn from literature. There are many people who have entered the official examination over the years, but if they are not from aristocratic families, they almost have no chance of promotion.

The convenient way is to do what His Majesty likes.

That's why the Tai students are so demanding on the way of chess. When watching the chess building, they can't bear the draw, and then they have to try their best to win it back. "

Cao Weishan is an excellent example.

The Cao family has profound education, but Cao Weishan was a small official for several years, and was buried in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for seven years. The Capital Protectorate of the Capital City is one of the most important government offices in the Yuan capital, but it is not uncommon to be scolded by His Majesty. Dali With the incident of Siqing, Cao Weishan may die at any time, no matter how high the Cao family is, it will not work.

Tang Ling took a sip of tea with a slight smile hidden in the corner of her mouth.

He came to Chen State to accept Xing Luowei, collected all kinds of information, and maintained the precarious peace between Zhou and Chen, but no matter what kind of information he had, he could occupy a place beside the Emperor of Chen State. It depends on His Majesty's mind.

When Tang Ling came, Emperor Chen granted him the vain title of Su Wei Lang, acting as Zhou's bodyguard, how could he live up to it.
