Sensing that Jiu Gu was looking at her in the wrong way, Chu Shao put down the teacup and said, "Of course not, all of this is just guesswork. Don't the yamen always pay attention to bold assumptions when handling cases, and carefully verify it?"
Ning Yuanqiu interjected: "My lord, this assumption is too bold. You know that the capital is now dominated by King Rui's forces."
Thinking deeply about this, even Huaizhen, who has made great achievements in battle, has less prestige in Beijing than King Rui.
"No matter how powerful he is, he is only a prince, and a prince without military power. The aspirations of the people are important, but if the people's hearts are not backed by military power, they are nothing more than paper tigers that can be crushed with one palm." Chu Shao Hooking Huaizhen's fingers, with a proud face, "In my opinion, he is also a prince, and His Royal Highness King Yu is much more powerful than him!"
"..."
His words wiped out Huai Zhen's temper.
"Okay, this matter has been discussed in advance, you should step back first."
Huaizhen took everyone out of the study room, glanced at the sun outside, guessed that Chu Shao must be hungry, and asked Wen Yan to prepare pastries.
"Didn't you go to the study today?"
He will not deliberately restrain Chu Shao's whereabouts, but he can know exactly what Chu Shao did with who and what.
"Well, I bought a few story books." Chu Shao took out the story books in his arms and complained, "You don't know how outrageous the stories those scholars made up! Take a look at this."
Huai Zhen took a look at the title of the script: "Golden House Cangjiao: King Yu's Favorite"
"......"
Chu Shao rubbed his earlobe which was hot, and hurriedly turned the page for Jiugu, wanting to get over this blushing headline as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, after turning the page, the inside was completely blank!
"how can that be?!"
Chu Shao was greatly surprised, the book was clearly full of words just now, but now every page is blank!
"There are words in it, but it still had words when I bought it!"
Huaizhen took the storybook and flipped through it. Except for the title on the cover, the inside was indeed empty.
He suspected that Chu Shao was cheated out of money.
"How much did you pay for this script?"
"...Two ingots of gold, I bought six books." Chu Xiaoshao honestly confessed that he has been living comfortably since he lost his memory, and he is extravagant with money. Anyway, there are several ingots of gold in his purse every day.
"Two ingots of gold can be exchanged for 100 taels of silver, and this kind of folk storybook is neither the work of a famous artist, nor the mounting is very casual, and the most is about five Wen."
He closed the script, tapped Chu Shao's forehead lightly: "You were slaughtered as a little golden pig."
Seeing that Chu Shao was a little disappointed, Huai Zhen had no choice but to pick up the teacup at the side, open the inside page of the story book, and sprinkle some water on it, but there was no change on the paper.
"Some swindlers will play tricks on the paper. Sprinkle some water to make the writing appear. Now it seems that this swindler is not even willing to do this. He can easily earn you 100 taels."
As for how King Yu knew about this little trick among the people... who hadn't been cheated of a few ingots of gold by a gaudy charlatan when he was young and ignorant?
"You said he was a liar?" Chu Shao breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned, "Yes, he is a liar, talking nonsense, talking nonsense, and what he said and wrote is extremely absurd, and he can't count."
"What did you see on it?" Huai Zhen was really curious about the content when he saw his reaction.
Chu Shao paused, since it has been verified that the liar is scaremongering, there is no need to say it to add to Jiugu's embarrassment.
Do you want to tell King Yu that it is written in the script that you will not only kill your brother in the future, but also be killed by me?
"It's just some obscenity, I don't have the face to repeat it." He babbled.
Huaizhen narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, she never thought that Chu Qingxu, who was so soft and fluffy on the bed, rolled into shrimp with shame, would have such a habit? !
He laughed: "Xiao Shao, you would actually spend two ingots of gold to buy pornographic songs? Are you stupid?"
Chu Shao: "..."
Huaizhen's warm breath suddenly rushed into Chu Shao's ear socket: "If you want to hear it, when you sleep at night, my husband will tell you in person. Isn't it more interesting than this?"
"!!!"
Chu Shao was so embarrassed that the top of his head was about to smoke!
This can't be explained!
Even if he really watched the obscene words and songs, it would still be a hundred times better than someone practicing it himself!
He punched Huaizhen's chest. The injury on his hand has healed up in the past few days. I don't know how many times he was caught and eaten by this man. Now he dares to call him stupid!It's cheap to eat dry and wipe clean, and it's also good-looking!shameless!
Huaizhen laughed, hugged the angry man into his arms, and took a sip on his neck, which was regarded as dessert before dinner.
-
In the case of the bride's disappearance, the spearhead was pointed at Kyoto, and there was no clue in Suizhou.
Huaizhen originally wanted to use the rich businessmen who were about to get married in the city to set up a trap, and even the officers and soldiers ambushed at the bride's house, but nothing happened that day, the wedding went smoothly, and the officers and soldiers had nothing to gain.
Presumably it was because the Yang family made too much noise and the group behind them restrained themselves, but in the final analysis it was because King Yu had already returned to Suizhou.
In the past three years, such cases have occurred frequently in various parts of Zhongqin. In comparison, Suizhou is the safest place, and only one bride has been missing so far.
Moreover, the girl from the Yang family is known as "the most beautiful woman in Suizhou". I think the people behind it couldn't bear to miss such a big fish, so they took advantage of King Yu's southern expedition, but after King Yu returned to the city to start the investigation, the group of people immediately disappeared I was so scared that I didn't dare to make another move easily.
They were afraid of King Yu's thunderous tactics, and they didn't dare to make too much trouble in Suizhou, but they did whatever they wanted in other states and counties of Zhongqin.
If we don't find out the truth as soon as possible, I don't know how many young women will suffer from this indiscriminate disaster.
Only when they return to the capital can they set up a net to lure out the people behind the scenes. If King Rui did it, the relevant punishment must also be issued by Emperor Qin himself.
Just as Huaizhen was thinking about it, an imperial decree came from Beijing, calling him back to Beijing to report on his duties.
He stayed in Suizhou for a month on the pretext of a shoulder injury, and settled Chu Shao's new identity. Now it is really time to return to Beijing Miansheng, and there is no delay.
"You want to go back to the capital?" Hearing this, Chu Shao accidentally crushed the red bean crisps in his hand, and the crisps fell on the table. Before he had time to clean them up, he grabbed Huaizhen's sleeve with his hands stained with red beans, " Why are you in such a hurry?"
Huaizhen explained: "When I came back from Qizhou, I was supposed to go to Beijing, but now I have been delayed for a month, and my father issued an imperial decree to urge me, so I can't delay any longer."
"Then I'll go back with you?"
Gripping Chu Shao's wrist, King Yu's eyes were full of tenderness: "I am leading the troops back to the capital this time, and I will be able to retreat in about seven days. After everything is safe, I will let someone pick you up to the capital, okay? ?”
He has been away from Beijing for more than a year, and although he has established his eyeliner and confidants in the capital, it is always inappropriate to rashly bring Chu Shao back to Qinjing, before the suspicious Emperor Qin.
The royal family cannibalize people, even noble concubines are not spared, let alone a Chu Shao who bears the identity of an enemy country?
Chu Qingxu heard that his request was declined by Yu Wang, and he was faintly disappointed. He grabbed Huai Zhen's hand uneasily: "Will you really come to pick me up? Will it be the same as last time, tricking me into throwing me away again?" down?"
Huaizhen held the hunk on Chu Shao's cheek in distress: "I will never abandon you again, but the water in Beijing is deep, so I will take a trip first, and then take you back after I know the depth. "
Qinjing is the imperial city, and it is the home of the prince Huaizhen. How can it be described as a tiger's den abyss?
Chu Shao looked naive, and didn’t understand anything. Those royal families in the history books were not superficial brothers and sisters, but in reality they were undercurrents. ten thousand times.
But he believes that Jiu Gu is definitely a good prince who emerges from the mud without staining himself! ! !
Chu Shao understands righteousness and doesn't want to cause trouble. He hugged Huaizhen and endured the pain of parting to reassure him: "I believe in you, and I will wait for you to come back."
Three days later, Huaizhen counted the troops and prepared to return to Beijing.
Before the army set off, King Yu untied the unicorn jade order from his waist, handed it to Chu Shao, and told him: "Seeing this jade order is like seeing this king, please keep it carefully by your side, and show this order if necessary." , everyone in the city is at your disposal. As soon as seven days, I will come back to pick you up."
Yu Ling's tentacles warmed up, Chu Shao held them tightly, and handed a pack of pastries hidden in his bosom to Huai Zhen's hand: "Take it with you to eat on the way."
Covered by his body temperature, the ball of pastry was still steaming.
Huai Zhen laughed: "It takes two hours to go from Suizhou to Kyoto, and it only takes half a day for the army to march, so you won't be hungry."
"You take it." Chu Shao stuffed the pastry into Jiugu's hands, his amber eyes were filled with reluctance.
Huai Zhen couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it to make Chu Shao feel at ease. He touched the top of Chu Shao's head, glanced at Tu Wei and Si Yun beside him, and said, "Take care of him."
Tu Wei said, "My lord, don't worry."
Si Yun couldn't speak, but nodded vigorously.
Huaizhen felt relieved, got on his horse, and looked at the [-] soldiers who were about to leave Suizhou with King Yu. Chu Shao accidentally touched the back of Bailongju's horse and asked, "How many soldiers and horses are left in the city?"
Huai Zhen was taken aback for a moment, the question was really abrupt—Chu Shao suddenly cared about what the defense of Suizhou City was doing?
Sitting on the horseback, he looked at Chu Shao's earlobe against the light, the cinnabar was still bright.
Huai Zhen dispelled his doubts, even if Chu Shao was given an empty city of Zhongqin now, he could no longer change the fact that Nanqi had destroyed the country.
"There are [-] cavalry stationed, what's the matter?"
Chu Shao: "It's nothing..." You can't tell Jiugu, he must have believed the nonsense in the storybook - Huaizhen's return to Beijing was decided a month ago, and everything was just a coincidence.
He smiled, "Your Highness, I will wait for your return."
Huai Zhen smiled back.
After the army walked out of the city gate of Suizhou, Chu Shao ran up the city tower again, looking into the distance until Huai Zhen's figure disappeared from sight, and the disappointment on his face became undisguised, even a rough guy like Tu Wei could see this It's lovesickness again.
No way no way!This is less than a cup of tea time! ! !
"Master Chu, the prince will be back in a few days."
Among the people around Huaizhen, only Tu Wei was left to guard Chu Shao. If something happened to Chu Shao, General Tu could hardly shirk his responsibility.
To Tu Weizhan, he had stood on the city tower for two days and two nights, and the wind and rain were just scratching his itch, but now he felt that the soft wind in late spring was too strong, and he was afraid that it would blow Chu Shao out of his illness.
"It's windy here, why don't we go home and wait?"
Chu Qingxu turned a deaf ear to it, he leaned on the tower, holding the Wenrun Yuling in one hand, resting his chin in the other, staring at the direction Huaizhen left in a daze.
Tu Wei could only ask Tingxue to fetch the cloak, and accompany Chu Shao to make a "Watching husband stone" on the tower.
On the first day King Yu returned to Beijing, Chu Shao was thinking about him.
The second day after King Yu returned to Beijing, Chu Shao still missed him.
On the evening of the third day after King Yu returned to Beijing, Chu Shao frowned while looking at the opposite Langshan Mountain, then suddenly turned to Tu Wei and asked, "Why is there no flying bird on that mountain today?"
Tu Wei: "???"
Chu Shao said: "There are at least three waves of birds flying from the forest on weekdays."
Tu Wei and Chu Shao stayed together on the tower for three days, he was careless and didn't pay attention to the movements of the birds.
But while Chu Shao was working on the husband-watching stone, he found out the daily wind direction by the way, and also had a panoramic view of every move of the wolf-shaped Wolf Mountain on the opposite side.
When he mentioned this, Tu Wei realized later that Langshan was a little too quiet today.
There is only one reason for a mountain forest full of birds to suddenly become silent—something in the mountain must have startled the birds.
According to Tu Wei's many years of experience in marching and fighting, a terrible conjecture quickly popped up in his mind.
Chu Shao glanced at him, "You guessed it too, right?"
When he said this, his eyes were calm, and he was not as ignorant as when he was by Huai Zhen's side.
The hair on Tu Wei's back stood up inexplicably - after the battle in Raoyin Valley three years ago, he had a bit of a shadow of Chu Shao in his bones.
Chu Shao remembered something, he asked: "There was a bandit on the other side?"
Tu Wei came back to his senses and said, "There was indeed a cottage on the opposite side, but the bandits on it were quelled by the officers and soldiers four years ago."
Chu Shao: "Langshan is located on the border between Suizhou and Qinjing. Which side sent the officers and soldiers back then?"
Tu Wei was stunned, this question hit the nail on the head, and he answered honestly: "Young master is wise, it is precisely because of the special geographical location of Langshan that when suppressing bandits, Suizhou and Qinjing did not reach a cooperation, but went their separate ways. Suizhou is the soldier of King Yu, and Qinjing is the soldier of King Rui."
Chu Shao understood that it was impossible for the emperor to take care of a small bandit problem in person. The officials who suppressed the bandits could only be military generals in the court. According to Ning Yuanqiu, the most likely person in charge of suppressing the bandits was King Rui’s party. He and Huai Zhen looked at it. It doesn't look very harmonious.
He guessed: "The two brothers blamed each other back then?"
Tu Wei immediately shook his head: "That's not the case. Back then, the prince wanted to put an end to the bandit nest, but there were [-] bandits in this nest, and he also set up various traps by taking advantage of the terrain in the mountains. If the army wants to suppress the bandits, it needs to send [-] troops , This is not a small sum, if Langshan is not on the border of Qinjing, then everything is easy to talk about, but back then, King Rui grasped this point and talked to the emperor, saying..."
"It is false to say that Jiugu sent heavy troops to suppress the bandits, but the real intention is in the capital?"
Tu Wei: "How did you guess it, young master?"
"The prince is not allowed to bring troops back to the capital without being called, otherwise it will be regarded as treason. Ten thousand heavy troops entered Langshan, but in fact they entered the territory of Qinjing. It is a common problem for emperors to be suspicious. Even their own sons should be careful. It is not difficult to guess. "
"That's right, you're right, the emperor told His Highness..." Tu Wei didn't dare to talk about the relationship between the royal father and his son, but said, "His Highness was helpless back then, so he had to withdraw his troops. In the end, King Rui sent people to suppress the bandits. It took nearly two years to wipe out the bandits, and the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The bandits who were forced to recruit security were sent to Suizhou City, and our prince asked him to collect the mess for him, so there will be Hu Hun first-class people in the city swaggering through the market."
After hearing this, Chu Shao said contemptuously: "At the foot of the Son of Heaven, it took two years to suppress a gang of bandits, and it ended in a dismal end. I'm afraid that His Royal Highness King Rui is not an idiot."
"I also think he's an idiot! But everyone in Beijing praises him as the talent of the emperor, I'm bah!"
After Tu Wei complained, he realized that he was being impolite. Chu Shao smiled lightly and said, "General, you don't have to be too cautious in front of me."
Tu Wei nodded silly. He respected and feared Chu Shao. He respected him because the winner was the king and the loser was the bandit. It is hard to form a psychological shadow.
"But you don't have to worry too much. The mountain has been under the control of Suizhou for the past few years, and there are indeed only a few ordinary people who have reformed and returned to the right. Half a month ago, to investigate the disappearance of the girl from the Yang family, my colleagues in the government office I just checked and found nothing unusual."
"You also said that it was half a month ago, and after fifteen days, even if it was to usurp the throne, there was a result." Chu Shao stared at the silent Wolf Mountain in front of him, with a dignified tone, "Is there a binoculars? "
Tu Wei immediately took out a small binoculars from his pocket and handed it to Chu Shao.
Through the binoculars, Chu Qingxu saw the situation in Wolf Mountain clearly.
The forest is lush, and at first glance, there is nothing unusual.
But as long as you pay close attention, you will find that there are ten pairs of human eyes hidden behind every tree trunk.
The "tens of thousands of bandits attacking the city" mentioned in the storybook has already come true.
Chu Shao's hands trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Could it be that he will kill the king and husband in the future as the script says?
The author says:
The next chapter is on V, the next update will be on next Tuesday (June 6th), there will be double updates on the day of V, please support
After returning to Beijing, the plot on the copy will not be far off!
Jiu Gu: The tiger's body shook!
Shao'er: Heh.
Ning Yuanqiu interjected: "My lord, this assumption is too bold. You know that the capital is now dominated by King Rui's forces."
Thinking deeply about this, even Huaizhen, who has made great achievements in battle, has less prestige in Beijing than King Rui.

Tu Wei came back to his senses and said, "There was indeed a cottage on the opposite side, but the bandits on it were quelled by the officers and soldiers four years ago."
Chu Shao: "Langshan is located on the border between Suizhou and Qinjing. Which side sent the officers and soldiers back then?"
Tu Wei was stunned, this question hit the nail on the head, and he answered honestly: "Young master is wise, it is precisely because of the special geographical location of Langshan that when suppressing bandits, Suizhou and Qinjing did not reach a cooperation, but went their separate ways. Suizhou is the soldier of King Yu, and Qinjing is the soldier of King Rui."
Chu Shao understood that it was impossible for the emperor to take care of a small bandit problem in person. The officials who suppressed the bandits could only be military generals in the court. According to Ning Yuanqiu, the most likely person in charge of suppressing the bandits was King Rui’s party. He and Huai Zhen looked at it. It doesn't look very harmonious.
He guessed: "The two brothers blamed each other back then?"
Tu Wei immediately shook his head: "That's not the case. Back then, the prince wanted to put an end to the bandit nest, but there were [-] bandits in this nest, and he also set up various traps by taking advantage of the terrain in the mountains. If the army wants to suppress the bandits, it needs to send [-] troops , This is not a small sum, if Langshan is not on the border of Qinjing, then everything is easy to talk about, but back then, King Rui grasped this point and talked to the emperor, saying..."
"It is false to say that Jiugu sent heavy troops to suppress the bandits, but the real intention is in the capital?"
Tu Wei: "How did you guess it, young master?"
"The prince is not allowed to bring troops back to the capital without being called, otherwise it will be regarded as treason. Ten thousand heavy troops entered Langshan, but in fact they entered the territory of Qinjing. It is a common problem for emperors to be suspicious. Even their own sons should be careful. It is not difficult to guess. "
"That's right, you're right, the emperor told His Highness..." Tu Wei didn't dare to talk about the relationship between the royal father and his son, but said, "His Highness was helpless back then, so he had to withdraw his troops. In the end, King Rui sent people to suppress the bandits. It took nearly two years to wipe out the bandits, and the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The bandits who were forced to recruit security were sent to Suizhou City, and our prince asked him to collect the mess for him, so there will be Hu Hun first-class people in the city swaggering through the market."
After hearing this, Chu Shao said contemptuously: "At the foot of the Son of Heaven, it took two years to suppress a gang of bandits, and it ended in a dismal end. I'm afraid that His Royal Highness King Rui is not an idiot."
"I also think he's an idiot! But everyone in Beijing praises him as the talent of the emperor, I'm bah!"
After Tu Wei complained, he realized that he was being impolite. Chu Shao smiled lightly and said, "General, you don't have to be too cautious in front of me."
Tu Wei nodded silly. He respected and feared Chu Shao. He respected him because the winner was the king and the loser was the bandit. It is hard to form a psychological shadow.
"But you don't have to worry too much. The mountain has been under the control of Suizhou for the past few years, and there are indeed only a few ordinary people who have reformed and returned to the right. Half a month ago, to investigate the disappearance of the girl from the Yang family, my colleagues in the government office I just checked and found nothing unusual."
"You also said that it was half a month ago, and after fifteen days, even if it was to usurp the throne, there was a result." Chu Shao stared at the silent Wolf Mountain in front of him, with a dignified tone, "Is there a binoculars? "
Tu Wei immediately took out a small binoculars from his pocket and handed it to Chu Shao.
Through the binoculars, Chu Qingxu saw the situation in Wolf Mountain clearly.
The forest is lush, and at first glance, there is nothing unusual.
But as long as you pay close attention, you will find that there are ten pairs of human eyes hidden behind every tree trunk.
The "tens of thousands of bandits attacking the city" mentioned in the storybook has already come true.
Chu Shao's hands trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Could it be that he will kill the king and husband in the future as the script says?
