old grace

Both You Jing and Shuang Ling went over the information they had.

According to the memories that Youjing obtained from Chen Qi's skin, Yan Hong talked about the roster of dead places yesterday morning, and Chen Qi asked Yan Hong to closely monitor the so-called "dead places" on the roster, and never disturb them. Claims that the roster of the dead doesn't even exist.As for, at the same time that Chen Qi summoned Zuan Zuan, Yan Hong went back and forth to report the roster of the dead, it was purely a play that had been agreed long ago, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people.

"Yan Hong and Tian Wen's investigations all tend to believe that this roster came from the study of Hua Pu, the former head of the Hua family. Now no one is sure why this roster exists-maybe they are really spies of the Hua family, or maybe It was the Hua family who deliberately wrote this roster before the city was destroyed, in order to trap Wenjing in the wild and drive a wedge between the Chen family and the scholars of other families." Fu Chuan also felt a little troubled.

Hua Pu is dead, and the inside story back then is separated by yin and yang. No one can tell what the truth is.

The investigation results of Yan Hong and Tian Wen are also vaguely different.Yan Hong only speculates, not draws conclusions, and tends to be in between.Tian Wen obviously prefers that the "spies" recorded on the death register are innocent people. He believes that when Qingzhou was about to fall into the hands of the Chen family, Qin Ting's spies secretly put them into Huapu's study to hide the truth from the list. Hua Pi, who has never been familiar with the secrets of Hua Pu's study.

Yan Hong is Chen Qi's slave, and he is not close to any forces, so he does not favor anyone.

Tian Wen was born as a typical literati. His parents and relatives all relied on their reputation for literary talents to achieve their current status. They have an instinctive closeness and preference for the large number of local gentry in Qingzhou recorded in the roster of death.Based on Xie Qinghe's understanding of Tian Wen, he may have met certain people in the roster and had a few acquaintances with them, and it is inevitable that he will feel sad when he investigates.

"Tian Xuzhang's guess is not unreasonable. How secret is the death matter? The relationship between Qin Ting and the Hua family is not friendly. If it weren't for the secret arrangement of Qin Ting's spies, Qin Tianzi would not have known about the list. There is no need to inform Qin Ting during the Hua family's life." .” Shuang Ling said.

Tian Wen may be biased in his work, but his IQ is always high.For the kindness that cannot be given, he will never make fun of it with his wealth and life.

You Jing put down the Yushan pen holder that he had been playing with for a long time, and said: "The secret of the roster has been cracked, and Yan Hong has sent people to monitor it closely. There will be big waves. In a few years, the world will be stable, people’s minds will be calm, and all the talents of civil and military talents will be in my hands. It doesn’t matter whether these people use it or not... What’s bothering you?”

It is Shuangling's instinct to find out the truth and solve problems, but Youjing's way of thinking about things is completely different from Shuangling's.

What was the truth in the first place, does it matter?Isn't it all right if there is no trouble now?When you want to use him, be wary of him first. In the future, there will be more people available, and if you don't bother to be wary and use him at the same time, you will use the latecomers who don't need to be wary, and let these unidentified people go directly to the field.

There is also a kind of self-confidence and pride in it.Under my governance, the world is stable and people's minds are stable. Even real spies, in view of this peace and stability, should betray the old master and serve me instead of continuing to fight against me.

Fu Chuan was taken aback by the question, and Shuang Ling quietly glanced at You Jing.

This idea is indeed not rational, it is a bit of a secondary school, but if you think about it deeply, wouldn't it make people admire such a measure?

"Did I convince you?" Youjing asked Shuangling.

Chen Qi handled this matter very tactfully and shrewdly. He secretly arranged for Yan Hong to monitor the "dead rooms" on the list, while Ming Li announced that the list of dead rooms was forged and did not exist at all.Even Shuang Ling couldn't fault it.Now that Youjing is wearing Chen Qi's skin, it means that Yan Hong is also directly taking orders from him, and of course there is no need to add more things to the snake.

Shuang Ling didn't answer You Jing's question directly, but lowered his head to open a bamboo slip and asked, "Is Brother Jun here to listen?"

Fu Chuan was about to get up, when You Jing grabbed him and said, "It's still early. Let's see later."

"It's getting late. I'll finish reading the bamboo slips earlier, and I'll go back to the side hall for a late-night snack. You and him can chat and laugh slowly. The whole night." Shuang Ling said slowly.

You Jing hugged Fu Chuan happily, and asked, "Will you be with me at night?"

Fu Chuan thought to himself, it doesn't count if I say it, does it?Isn't it arranged by the two of you?

You Jing has already figured out the current situation, and happily sat down in front of the desk with Fu Chuan in his arms, and looked at Shuang Ling happily: "Then hurry up. How many bamboo slips are there? Hurry up and deal with it, you hurry up Walk."

Shuang Ling showed no signs of liking or disliking, spread out the bamboo slips and recited them calmly, and dealt with the reply together with Fu Chuan.

Now Fu Chuan is much more honest. He will never refute Shuang Ling's opinion when it does not involve principles. He is afraid that if he refutes too many times, he will become a stumbling block for Shuang Ling to "handle important military and political affairs". Mishap happened."

This made Shuang Ling tidy up the bamboo slips much faster.Normally, Shuang Ling read the bamboo slips once, gave advice on how to deal with it, Fu Chuan nodded, You Jing nodded accordingly, and Shuang Ling wrote the instructions in a hurry, and the matter was completed.

The bamboo slips that had been disposed of were piled up into a hill, and the bamboo slips waiting for approval were quickly processed. Shuang Ling put down the brush, wiped his hands, and said, "I'm leaving."

"No, wait!" Fu Chuan hurriedly called him, "Didn't you go to see Zuan just now? What should I say?"

Before Shuang Ling could speak, Fu Chuan got up and went to the door to ask Xia Shang to prepare tea.Ziyang Palace knows that Mr. Xiaolang likes to drink leaf water, which is called tea. Xia Shang also went to the side hall to ask Su Gu for advice on how to make tea. The main hall also set up a small tea room to serve Xiaolang only. Jun.

Shuang Ling wants to go, You Jing wants Shuang Ling to go.The two looked at Fu Chuan who was rushing back from the door, and looked at each other.

Fu Chuan didn't want to leave either of them, and wanted to spend as much time with them as possible.

"Brother, you've worked hard. Have a cup of tea and talk slowly." Fu Chuan pushed the desk aside, arranged the seats, and invited Shuang Ling to the table again.

"Have a drink." Youjing persuaded her rational side to stay, "You are also copying the scriptures when you go back alone, so why not sit down and talk. Jun'er can't bear you, so just sit down."

Shuang Ling didn't even have any emotions, so naturally she didn't care whether to stay or not.Both Fu Chuan and You Jing persuaded him to stay, so he sat down.

Soon Xia Shang came and brought his servants to bring tea soup and snacks, You Jing secretly glanced at Fu Chuan, seeing that the younger brother had no time to restrain himself, he asked Xia Shang for another drink.Fu Chuan was busy making tea and didn't notice his jealousy of his junior brother's eyes, but Shuang Ling saw it.

So, You Jing raised his head, and saw Shuang Ling's expressionless eyes staring at him.

——Shuang Ling has no emotions, but You Jing clearly feels that Shuang Ling looks down on her.

It does not involve joy, anger, sorrow, joy, and dislike. The way a person looks at an elephant and an ant is definitely different.Even if there is no emotion, it will not delay Shuang Ling's thinking that You Jing is an idiot. Now Shuang Ling's cognition of You Jing has been refreshed - an affectionate and almost cowardly idiot.

You Jing also gave Shuang Ling a glance in return.Emotionless idiot, what do you know!

"Brother, tea." Fu Chuan brought the teacup to Shuang Ling.

It just so happened that Xia Shang came to deliver wine again.Fu Chuan didn't say anything, and put the wine container into the wine pot by himself, and filled it with charcoal.Then he poured You Jing a cup of tea and said, "Father, drink the wine after it's warm, it won't hurt your stomach."

Xia Shang cleaned up the fruit peels on the table, changed the spittoon once, and retreated quietly.

Seeing that Fu Chuan had never disturbed him for drinking, You Jing warmed the wine with his own hands, and smiled at the corners of his brows and eyes. He took the teacup from Fu Chuan and said, "Okay. Don't worry. It's already mid-afternoon. Morning All the wine is gone."

Fu Chuan offered them both tea, soaked an orange in hot water, and unwrapped it bit by bit with his hands, asking, "Brother, where's the zan?"

Shuang Ling briefly talked about the process of meeting Zuan in the afternoon, and concluded: "People in the capital have changed their minds, and there are many voices who want to surrender Chen. However, with the lessons learned from Han Qu's past, if the family sends envoys to the capital to contact Lobbying, I'm afraid the results will be minimal. Instead of sending people to negotiate peace, it's better to hold your bow and watch for a long time. Under heavy pressure, there will be cowards who will take the initiative to beg for their lives."

Therefore, for Shuang Ling, zan zan was useless from beginning to end, and he didn't even bother to mention it to You Jing and Fu Chuan.

If Zuan is not a woman, Shuang Ling will directly propose to send her head back to the capital, and ask Qin Tianzi what it means to be an envoy to Qingzhou, so as to humiliate the capital and further shake the will of the Qin court and the opposition.However, even if he loses his feelings, the principle of not bullying women and children is still engraved in his bones. Since Zan Zan is a woman, he will not use Zan Zan to make a big fuss.

Fu Chuan didn't expect to ask such an ambiguous answer, so he couldn't help but look at You Jing: "Then, Zan Zan... just keep it?"

Kill, don't have the heart to kill.

After all, there is no real evidence of her plotting chaos, and she keeps saying that she wants to surrender to Chen under the order of King Yancheng.

However, if she is not killed, Chen Qi did such a thing to her and sent her back to the capital, it is tantamount to slapping Qin Tingzong in the face, and she will be forced to commit suicide if she is not released back to the capital. It can also allow her to live in peace in Qingzhou, maybe someday she will do something?

He could only be placed under house arrest, under surveillance for [-] hours, and never left.

"Find a place to settle it, and don't allow her to communicate with the outside world." You Jing thought for a while, and then said, "If you want to kill yourself, don't stop it."

Don't kill, don't release, but don't save either.

This is the last kindness Xie Qinghe can give her.

You Jing's wine was not warmed yet, and the matter was finished, Shuang Ling wiped her hands with a tea towel, then stood up again: "I'm leaving."

Even if Fu Chuan had some excuses to keep him, he didn't dare to refute Shuang Ling's decision.I had no choice but to turn around and take a hasty look at You Jing, followed Shuang Ling to the outer hall, personally helped Shuang Ling change shoes, put on thick clothes, and reluctantly said: "Brother, come early tomorrow."

"Yeah." Shuang Ling promised not to be perfunctory, "Come after dinner."

In the past, I would come over to serve Chen Qi to wash and change clothes, and then I would have breakfast with Chen Qi, and I would not serve after the soul was separated.

Fu Chuan deliberately hinted that he would regain his peace of mind, but he was reluctant after all.Shuang Ling refused to take up the fight, so Fu Chuan went limp and didn't say a word.

Shuang Ling dressed and went out, and left without looking back.

Fu Chuan leaned against the door and looked at his back, inexplicably melancholy, until a quiet voice came from the hall: "Jun'er!"

"Hey!" Fu Chuan became happy again, and ran towards the inner hall with his soft-soled shoes, "Here we come!"
