In fact, Qin Zheng’s choice last time was correct.

He did not stop pursuing the investigation because he was involved in the Duke Ding Mansion, but continued to investigate, but he followed the clues and found more clues.

At the same time, the incident that had been investigating before also unexpectedly came to an outcome.

"In the spring plowing, the emperor was stabbed, and the assassin was an old Taoist priest. After that, the Taoist priest committed suicide in prison, but the thing he committed suicide was a nail."

However, in the torture room where the old Taoist priest was imprisoned, he could not reach even half of the iron wire.

At that time, Qin Zheng suspected that there was a traitor. In order to find the traitor, he released Chunxiao together. He only did not know how to do it outside, but was strictly guarded against it inside.

Originally, the old beggar shouldn't have run away for the first time. Qin Zheng deliberately let him go to catch the traitor. But after that, the traitor was successfully arrested, and the old beggar and Chunxiao didn't know.

Therefore, the second arrest was made.

And that time, Bai Wuyuan happened to appear and rescue Chunxiao, and then came to reach a consensus with him.

Use another clue to exchange for the peace of spring dawn.

Qin Zheng covered up the matter of the Red Lotus Sect and told them one by one. Finally, he said: "Now the traitor has been arrested, and the person behind the scenes has been taken out. The emperor was furious when he heard about this and wanted me to find the real murderer. And the few people arrested recently were all related personnel. I think there will be a result soon. The chaos in the capital will not last for a few days, so you don't have to worry."

Qin Zheng said it very lightly, and it was tightly matched in front and back, so Gu Jiu immediately believed it.

But in fact, Qin Zheng didn't say everything.

For example, the old Taoist priest refused to admit his death before, and suffered various tortures and never committed suicide. However, after learning that Chunxiao was arrested, he committed suicide strangely.

Why?

Is he really unable to resist torture?

No, I can only say that he must have a close connection with Chunxiao, and even Qin Zheng can guess it.

The old Taoist priest, Chunxiao's biological father.

It is also an extremely important religious member before the Red Lotus Sect.

But because of his death and the long-term situation, even though he has captured several people from the Red Lotus Sect, he has not found any questions about the identity of the old Taoist priest.

There is also Bai Wuyuan's whereabouts.

In the other party's words, he happened to appear there. When he saw Chunxiao fighting with someone, his first reaction was to knock him out and rescue Chunxiao.

Later, I learned that I had caused trouble and came over to make up for the bribe.

But what is the truth.

Qin Zheng didn't believe this statement, but he didn't find out any doubts.

But sometimes, seamlessness is the biggest loophole.

He bent his lips slightly to cover the coldness in his eyebrows and eyes.

Bai Wuyuan took Chunxiao's peace and came to Qin Zheng as a exchange and confessed to other people.

However, among those people, according to his investigation, there were people from all sides.

For example, the second prince, the third prince, and even the eldest prince.

Either these people are related to the Red Lotus Sect, or someone takes this opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

The more chaotic the water in this pool is, the more operational space there will be.

These people and things are like a huge net. It is clear that Qin Zheng has solved the situation smoothly, but he feels inexplicably that he has fallen into a trap.

Someone wants him to behave well and follow the help.

Qin Zheng frowned, shook the coldness in his eyes, and then said: "It's getting late, let's go home first?"

After hearing Qin Zheng's words, Gu Jiu came to his senses and nodded obediently: "Okay."

She only knew that Qin Zheng was busy outside these days, but she did not expect that the other party was busy with such a difficult thing.

In her previous life, she never knew that the emperor was almost assassinated, and even what happened afterwards, so now she was a little helpless even if she wanted to help Qin Zheng.

Gu Jiu was a little annoyed at the moment and looked much more well-behaved.

Qin Zheng hadn't noticed it at first, but when he saw the little girl following him onto the carriage, he looked taciturn, but he had a little misunderstanding.

"Scared?"

The man's gentle voice made Gu Jiu come back to his senses, and he waved his hand and explained: "No."

She thought about it, and saw that Qinghei, who could not be covered by Qin Zheng's eyebrows, couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and said softly: "I just feel that I can't help you."

Qin Zheng might as well say this, but she was stunned for a moment.

If he wants to block a person's mouth on weekdays, he will have 180 kinds of words, and will block the person without repetition.

But Gu Jiu's straight shot made Qin Zheng stunned.

He even forgot what to say, but saw that the person in front of him was really distressed and blamed himself. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and held her in his arms.

The man's breath suddenly invaded, and Gu Jiu's eyes widened in an instant, not knowing what to do for a moment.

She opened her mouth to speak, but the man seemed to have seen it in advance and said softly: "Don't move."

Gu Jiu didn't dare to move in an instant.

However, when Qin Zheng held her in his arms, he relied on her inability to see her appearance, and his earlobes turned red unrestrainedly.

After half a day, he let go of Gu Jiu, his eyebrows and eyes were soft: "Look, isn't this helping me?"

Qin Zheng's appearance was too open-minded, and Gu Jiu almost thought that he had misunderstood. Could it be that in Qin Zheng's concept that embracing is something that everyone can do?

As soon as she thought about this, she heard Qin Zheng whisper: "Ajiu, I don't have many relatives."

Gu Jiu was stunned and subconsciously looked up at Qin Zheng, then saw that the other party said with great sincerity: "You are one of them."

...

Until he returned to the room, Gu Jiu couldn't help but think about the meaning of this sentence in his mind.

So, in Qin Zheng's heart, has she become his relative?

Gu Jiu was happy and sour, leaning against the bed, covering the string of Buddhist beads in his heart, but couldn't help but sigh.

It was joyful that at least in his heart, her position was different.

What’s sour is that they are clearly husband and wife, at least nominal husband and wife.

She hoped to have Qin Zheng's love between men and women, but she was covered with a layer of family love.

But, that's different.

Qin Zheng didn't know what he said, which made Gu Jiu sleepless all night again.

He thought he had said it clearly enough.

Qin Zheng has few relatives in this life, one mother and one wife.

Lin gave him the first half of his life to his mother, and Gu Jiu was his partner, working with him to accompany him for the rest of his life.

So, how to measure your lover is your relative.

Although there is no bones and blood connected, the two hearts are connected.

After Qin Zheng ordered the servants to go out, he opened the small box at the head of the bed, where there was a letter signed by him.

He subconsciously wanted to tear it off, but he didn't know what he thought of and bent his lips again.

Things tonight seemed to be going smoother than I thought. At least after he confessed, Gu Jiu looked shy.

But he was still a little reckless, otherwise why wouldn't she dare to look at her later?

Forget it, let’s keep this with Li Shu for the first time, and wait until you turn around and tear it in front of the girl, which can be regarded as untiing the knot between the two of them.

That night, the two people said it intentionally and listened to it. The meaning of one sentence was completely different, but they lost insomnia.

...

Early the next morning, Qin Zheng was forced to suppress the idea of ​​not neglecting Qinghei, and the idea of ​​originally planning to see Gu Jiu was forced to stop.

She won't let her see her like this vicissitudes of life.

Qin Zheng suppressed the impulse to see Gu Jiu and went straight to Dali Temple.

Therefore, I didn't know that Gu Jiu was sighing in front of the dark circles in the mirror at this time.

"Miss, did you not sleep well at night?"

When Gu Jiu sighed for the ninth time, Bai Zhu finally couldn't help it and walked over and asked her softly. But seeing that she was in a very bad mood, she even spoke carefully.

Gu Jiu didn't notice it. He heard this and just shook his head, held his chin and said, "No."

She didn't sleep well, she clearly didn't sleep!

She was both happy and sad all night, and she was tossing and turning somersaults on the bed, and she was so tormented that she almost baked herself into a pancake.

When she thought of this, she sighed again. Thinking of going to Meiyuan today, she simply left these things behind and asked Atractylodes to apply two more layers of powder to cover the pale face.

In the next two days, Qin Zheng never returned home again.

At the same time, the court finally became chaotic as Qin Zheng said.
Chapter completed!
