The conversation between the old man and the young man was very brief and did not last as long as eating a bowl of noodles.

After a few quarrels, they broke up. This is a common thing in the world. And when all this happened in the Qiu family, the object of the quarrel was still the elder in the court, the former Taifu. This matter did not seem to be the case.

So common.

The servant put away the dishes and chopsticks, wondering in his heart, why did the usually amiable old man get so angry today? Is His Highness the Crown Prince being naughty again? Everyone in Kyoto knows that His Majesty has entrusted the Crown Prince to Qiu Jinfeng to teach him. As an emperor,

Master, most of my anger is also because of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Qiu An lit the incense, burning agarwood, which has the effect of calming the mind and easing sleep. He put the fire stick away, put it in his sleeve, and then stood beside Qiu Jinfeng. He knew that the old man must be next

I have something to say to him.

"This kid has a bad reputation, but he is more courageous than anyone else."

From Qiu Jinfeng's tone, it was impossible to tell whether he was praising or scolding.

Qiu An didn't answer, and twitched the corner of his mouth, catering to Qiu Jinfeng without comment. In his mind, the figure of the young man who was still cursing when he went out appeared.

"Qiu An, what do you think of him?" Qiu Jinfeng asked.

Qiu An also seemed to be waiting for Qiu Jinfeng's question and had prepared the answer early. "Master Yu, he is a good boy."

What an optional answer.

Qiu Jinfeng glared, obviously dissatisfied with Qiu An's answer. Seeing Qiu An bowing with a smile, he felt helpless.

"When that boy from the Bai family came, you said something that really hit home. You have also seen Yan Qingyi, who is gentle and humble, but this kid is exactly the same on the outside. Only these two juniors in Kyoto can hold up a world. If they enter the court,

, will also be the leader in the court in the future. How come Yu Zhi is the only one who is only good?"

Qiu An is very kind. As long as you ask something, you will definitely get an answer. "Bai Yu and Yan Qingyi on the first list are both excellent children. Master Yu..." Qiu An thought for a while, but it was really difficult to give Yu an answer.

I couldn't find any tactful words, so I had to say: "As you said, my reputation is too bad."

Qiu Jinfeng laughed loudly, and then said with a hint of melancholy: "Master Li has such a nephew, so he should have less worries in his heart."

Qiu An didn't understand what Qiu Jinfeng said. The old man talked a lot of nonsense tonight, and it seemed that only he could understand it.

"Have those people in the north been peaceful recently?" Qiu Jinfeng suddenly got down to business. "Ruoruo has been slacking off recently, and you have to help her. This girl always makes people worry."

Qiu An owed her identity, "Except for Mengsi who came to the house every day and wanted to marry the young lady, the others in Kyoto were a bit arrogant and had disputes with some young masters who couldn't stand it. The princess was the most peaceful and sincere

I haven’t even stepped out of Zizhu Villa.”

After Qiu Jinfeng heard this, he lay back on the couch again, looked at the roaring fire, and remembered Yu Zhi's last words.

"This junior does not seek to achieve success, but wants to live a peaceful life with the shameful name of Wenwen, so I am more casual in front of you."

These scoundrel words made it difficult for Qiu Jinfeng, who was able to quarrel with other scholars, to respond.

If a person has no desires or desires, then what is there to fear?

...

Yu Zhi was lying on the bed, pillowing his head. He always felt that there was a secret in Qiu Jinfeng's words, just like the secret that Qiu An refused to say.

Mother.

Yu Zhi remembered this word for some reason. Qiu Ruoruo helped him search for a long time. If he were alive with the strength of the Qiu family, there should be no news at all. Yu Zhi had no hope, but he was also afraid of giving up this hope. He was afraid of letting go

If Qiu Ruoruo stops, then even the last glimmer of hope will be gone.

On the desk, under the candlestick, there is a piece of letter paper with the mark of Dawen Academy on it, which is obviously from Dawen Academy.

Yu Zhi sent a letter to Li Qingru. It should be said that on the same day, Yu Zhi received Li Qingru's reply.

Yu Zhi's letter was very simple - someone wants to kill me.

Li Qingru's reply was even simpler - the brave have nothing to fear!

There is a sense of strength in the beautiful lower regular script.

Shi Laozi said that brave men have no fear, but Yu Zhi only knows that the brave men who are fearless are already dead. People must respect and love life while they are alive.

Yu Zhi didn't know what Li Qingru meant, but after all, Li Qingru didn't let him go back, and Yu Zhi didn't dare to go back. While he was worried, fortunately, he was protected by Ye Muge, who was superb in swordsmanship, and Qiu Ruo, who regarded him as an eldest brother.

If you protect it.

Squeak!

The only one who would push the door open at this time was Qiu Ruoruo.

Yu Zhi pretended to be asleep and kept silent. When the girl came to visit her in the middle of the night, she must have something on her mind, and it was a complicated one. This is what Yu Zhi was not good at.

Qiu Ruoruo talked for a long time, and Yu Zhi also understood. Qiu Yu was beaten with fifty sticks. It hurt a little, but the fatal one was the missing assassin who assassinated Prince Zhao.

Unlike Mei Renyi who covered his red and swollen buttocks and returned to Shuntian Mansion, Qiu Yu knew that relying on Mei Renyi's Shuntian Mansion would be useless. After going to court, Qiu Yu led the people from the Wucheng Army and Horse Division straight to Prince Zhao's Mansion.

The always easy-going King Zhao also got angry in front of everyone for the first time, but some people have read too much, and even when they curse, they have a bookish attitude, which makes people unable to feel intimidated.

Qiu Yu asked several people, but in the end he still had no clue.

When Qiu Ruoruo visited Qiu Yu, she felt very distressed. She also felt a little resentful towards His Majesty's strict order. With the three-day time limit, everyone knew that this was an impossible task.

His Majesty must have been issuing orders in anger, but the Emperor could never take back his words.

Even if it is painful, you have to endure it with your heart.

"Is uncle okay?" Yu Zhi thought for a long time before he came up with this.

"Fortunately, I applied the medicine tonight, and I will be able to walk tomorrow." The Qiu family's Jinchuang medicine is top-grade, and it uses very good medicinal materials.

Yu Zhi said subconsciously: "The injury is not serious."

Qiu Ruoruo was speechless, "I plan to visit the prince tomorrow and help my father see if there are any clues. Brother Xiaoyu, you go with me."

Yu Zhi shook his head simply. He didn't want to go. In his opinion, Prince Zhao's Mansion was not safe. Someone could quietly send him out of the city in Prince Zhao's Mansion, and someone could assassinate the prince in Prince Zhao's Mansion. Such a place was no different from the Dragon Pond and the Tiger's Den.

different.

Moreover, this matter is very troublesome!

"Qiuqiu, think about it. Someone could assassinate the crown prince in Prince Zhao's Mansion at the foot of the imperial city. This is shocking. In the nearly 20 years since His Majesty ascended the throne, this is the first assassination of a royal family member. Uncle

It's natural to get slapped, and a mere fifty sticks is still too light." Yu Zhi said, "Your Majesty's orders must be obeyed. Prince Zhao is your Majesty's nephew, and he is also a royal figure. He must be investigated strictly. I heard that my uncle today

Went to Prince Zhao’s Mansion?”

Qiu Ruoruo replied: "I did go, but there are no clues."

Yu Zhi asked again: "I also heard that Shuntian Mansion is also responsible for this matter?"

"Shuntian Prefecture is in charge of all matters in Kyoto, and should be held responsible for anything that happens. The governor of Shuntian Prefecture also received thirty canes."

Yu Zhi thought of Mei Renyi's lack of energy during the day, and his feelings were "suffered" in the imperial city. "But today, Mr. Fu Yin returned directly to Shuntian Mansion after retiring from the court, and his officials still have time to take care of Bai Bai."

Li's business is about that kid. As far as I know, Shuntian Prefecture Yin has not taken any action since he returned to Shuntian Prefecture. The imperial court ordered that the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and Shuntian Prefecture should investigate together."

Qiu Ruoruo was deep in thought and thought of something, like a sudden inspiration, but she couldn't catch it.

"You have been in Kyoto for a long time. What kind of person do you think Mr. Fu Yin is? In the lobby today, he called you Ruoruo. I think he and you should be familiar with each other." Yu Zhi said.

Qiu Ruoruo stopped thinking deeply, and the mellow Lord Fu Yin appeared in her mind. "Yin Mei Fu often comes to Qiu Mansion, and he is familiar with his face, but he is not a close acquaintance. Kyoto is at the foot of the emperor. In recent years,

I haven't heard of any turmoil or major cases. I often hear that Shuntian Prefecture helps the poor, because according to the public's words, he can be regarded as a good official."

"Relieving the poor sounds like a good official." Yu Zhi murmured. "A good official does not mean integrity."

Yu Zhi didn't speak anymore. He felt that Qiu Ruoruo should understand clearly. These words should have been thought in his heart and rotten in his stomach.

…

Bai Li was in a bad mood. This bad mood started from the west gate of Kyoto, and no amount of explanations would help. A twelve-year-old child should not care so much, but he is the young master of the Minister of Hube, and he is

Ranking first in this year's Qiuzhi Academy entrance examination, I am so excited.

No insult should be directed at him.

It's a pity that someone easily insulted him and made him the biggest laughing stock in Kyoto.

"Uncle Kang, has Yu Zhi been arrested?"

Bai Li's voice finally came from inside the house, making the people waiting outside breathe a sigh of relief.

Lord Shangshu just took a look and said, "If he wants to die, just let him."

After saying that, the Lord Shangshu disappeared. The servants and waiters all thought about how cruel the Lord Shangshu was, that he could even ignore his own son.

Because of Bai Wanqian's words, no one in the Hubu Shangshu Mansion dared to go in and disturb Bai Li. The child was left in a dark room, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

And these waiters and servants also knew that if something happened to Bai Li, they would definitely not get any good results.

Now, Bai Li still can't think about it.

This is a good thing.

Du Ankang was also waiting outside the house. When he heard Bai Li's question, Du Ankang said: "There is insufficient evidence, so I will let him go to Shuntian Mansion."

There was sudden silence in the room for a long time, and then Bai Li's crazy voice was suddenly heard.

"What does it mean that there is no evidence? It's him, who else can he be? The whole of Kyoto knows that this man is capable of such shameful and despicable things. Let Mei Renyi arrest him and let Shuntian Prefecture torture him!

If he breaks his hands and feet, he will definitely confess, and that little bitch Qiu Ruoruo, without her help, how could the carriage leave the city last night?"

The voice was sharp and seemed to be crazy. No one would have thought that it was the voice of a twelve-year-old child.

Du Ankang knew that everything Bai Li said was reasonable and the most well-founded inference.
