Gongsun Yi's arrival brought more vitality to the school.
Because Gongsun Yi has no teaching experience, he is young and does not know how to keep a straight face and pretend to be serious, or it may be due to his timid personality that he does not dare to argue with the nobles in the palace. As a teacher, he behaves like a boy studying with him in class.
I don’t dare to speak too loudly when giving lectures.
However, one thing is different from before, that is, the school now has a permanent teacher, and Zhu Hao does not need to teach for the time being, and the study life seems to be on the right track.
A few days later, on the evening of August 23rd, on his way back to the West Campus after school, Zhu Hao met Lu Song, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Lu Song came towards him. After seeing Zhu Hao, he continued to move forward calmly. As he passed by, he said: "The matter has been resolved, don't worry."
Zhu Hao's heart moved.
Could this mean that he received a notification from his wife Fan and successfully solved the trouble through some little-known methods?
In this way, after I return home on August 25th, I won’t have to worry about being arranged by my family to meet the royal spies again, right?
Is it really going so smoothly?
Zhu Hao was still puzzled.
At this time Lu Bing ran over and threw himself into Lu Song's arms excitedly.
The father and son have a very good relationship, and Lu Bing has regarded his father as a role model since he was a child.
Although it was just a small goodbye, it was the longest time apart since Lu Bing could remember, not to mention how intimate they were!
"Lu Dianzhan, are you on duty today?"
Zhu Hao turned around and asked with a smile.
Even if Zhu Hao didn't elaborate, Lu Song understood that Zhu Hao was giving him a hint to find a time to talk in the evening.
Lu Song said: "I'll take the day off today, Xiao Bing. You and your mother will go home later... Tell her that your father was delayed a lot when he was away on business, so you won't be able to go back today."
"oh."
Lu Bing nodded confusedly.
…
…
After nightfall, Zhu Hao and Jinghong read together by candlelight.
Zhu Hao took out a notebook, shook it and said, "This is the content at the back of Monkey Sun, do you want to read it?"
Jinghong's eyes sparkled, but he was too embarrassed to reach out to take it directly. Zhu Hao threw the notebook in front of him and said: "Remember to return it to me after reading it. If there are any words you don't know, you can ask me."
"unnecessary."
At such a young age, Jinghong has managed to read big books.
Zhu Hao took the opportunity to come outside. At this time, Lu Song had already deliberately transferred the guards away and calmly returned to the courtyard saying he wanted to drink water. In fact, he was meeting Zhu Hao alone.
"Lu Dianzhan, it's very dangerous for you to come to see me like this... What if the palace sends someone to keep an eye on you?" Zhu Hao's words were more of a test.
Lu Song said: "I secretly informed Lin Baihu that something happened... Lin Baihu set up a trap to meet Han Dianzhan, and as expected, the people in the palace noticed..."
Zhu Hao frowned: "Are you harming others?"
Lu Song said sternly: "I didn't harm him. He had been collecting money from Lin Baihu before, but he didn't do anything for Jin Yiwei. And even if something happened to him, he would just be transferred away by the palace... Do you know how big the impact will be once something happens to me?
?”
He was very angry as he spoke, but more importantly, he was angry that his fate was being manipulated and he could not escape.
Zhu Hao finally understood why Lu Song could come back safe and sound. It turned out that he had negotiated with Lin Baihu, and they came up with a plan to find someone to take the blame, thus pushing out the suspicion. Now Prince Xing's Mansion has discovered that the traitor in Dianzhan is the man named Han.
, naturally no longer doubt Lu Song.
"Zhu Hao, I want to ask you, how did you know that the palace suspected me? Lin Baihu doesn't quite understand this either."
Lu Song asked the question in his mind.
Zhu Haodao: "I guess Lin Baihu and the Zhu family have an informant from Prince Xing's Mansion ambushing you, but I don't know who it is. Over there, the Zhu family just informed me that they would meet with Lin Baihu's spies in the Prince's Mansion. He also said
The other party is a Dianzhan, and several Dianzhan were transferred away at the same time. Isn't it too coincidental?"
Lu Song thought about it and thought it made sense.
"Who do you suspect?"
Lu Song wanted to catch the spies from Jin Yiwei.
Zhu Hao shook his head and expressed ignorance.
In fact, he had a suspect, and it was Butler Liu. The first suspicion was because Butler Liu deliberately inquired into his conversation with Zhu Jia. This time, Butler Liu informed him in the early morning of August 16th that he would come by foot.
After all, Butler Liu did not enter the city when the city gate was opened early in the morning, but spent the night in the city... What was the reason that Butler Liu was ordered to enter the city without looking for him first, instead of waiting until the next morning to notify him?
?
But Zhu Hao is also worried.
When Prince Xing's Mansion catches a traitor, they usually don't kill him for the sake of reputation, but just transfer the person away.
If Jin Yiwei catches the traitor, his life may not be saved. This is also an important reason why he does not want to reveal his doubts about Butler Liu without evidence.
Now he just informed Lin Baihu through Lu Song's mouth that there was a traitor, and asked him to be on guard early and not to arrange any special tasks for himself. This would achieve his goal.
"I didn't expect that this would happen."
Lu Song had a trace of joy on his face.
Zhu Haodao: "Lu Dianzhan, I know that you did not inform Lin Baihu of the Crown Prince's true identity in order to prevent Lin Baihu from harming the Crown Prince... But if the Jin Yiwei really wanted to kill the Crown Prince, it might put the little princess in danger.
In this situation, I think you are still not suitable for stepping into two boats."
Lu Song looked at Zhu Hao with strange eyes, as if to say, if I have a choice, why should I be so entangled?
"Actually, Lu Dianzhan can wait for the limelight to pass, and then take the initiative to propose to Prince Xing that he be transferred to the local guard station for some training. As long as you leave Prince Xing's Mansion, you will lose your use value to Lin Baihu... They don't know that your wife is here.
Working in the royal palace may help you gain stability in the future."
Zhu Hao put forward his own suggestion: "If you don't tell Lin Baihu that you took the initiative to ask for transfer, Lin Baihu will have nothing to do with you... I'm afraid he will bet that you will return to Prince Xing's Mansion, so he will not reveal your identity."
Lu Song did not expect that his future would depend on Zhu Hao, a child, for guidance. For a moment, his brows were furrowed and his face was full of tangles.
He felt that with Zhu Hao's wisdom, it was impossible to clarify his thoughts so quickly. There might be some conspiracy behind it.
Lu Song didn't say much to Zhu Hao. He nodded and left first. The two of them did not talk in depth.
…
…
On the afternoon of the 24th, when school was over.
Zhu Si asked a few people to stay and play Cuju with him, but Zhu Hao did not refuse. Anyway, he was not hungry. In addition, he had not finished the dry food and snacks he brought this time, so whether he went to the cafeteria to eat in the evening would not matter much.
While they were playing, they saw Lu Song coming with two guards.
"Master Zhu, Master Jing, there is a message from above that you can leave the palace today and come back the day after tomorrow."
Lu Song brought news.
Zhu Hao was a little surprised by this, but looking at Lu Song's pointed eyes, he thought he was reminding himself that the palace might be worried, thinking that maybe after he returned, he would be ordered to meet the lurking insider in the palace.
Even if a Han Dianzhan is captured, doesn't Lin Baihu have other internal agents in place?
Therefore, we simply asked Zhu Hao to go back early. This would be convenient for Jin Yiwei, and it would also create conditions for Prince Xing's Mansion to catch spies.
Zhu Hao said: "Then Jinghong and I will go back and clean up before leaving."
Zhu Si reluctantly said: "Let's finish playing Cuju together and then leave? It's still early before dark."
Lu Song stepped forward and saluted: "Fourth Prince, this is Yuan Changshi's personal order. In fact, it is already late. They still have a long way to go home. It is not safe after dark."
Zhu Si pouted.
After playing for a while, someone ruined the fun. Zhu Si glanced at Lu Song with resentment from time to time.
"Zhu Si, let's play again when we come back... This time I will look for materials when I go back and make a leather Cuju. I will also find you some good things to play with."
Zhu Hao smiled and comforted.
Zhu Si nodded heavily and said, "It's a deal."
…
…
Zhu Hao and Jinghong left the palace and went home respectively.
The county government was notified in advance and sent a carriage to pick him up, while Zhu Hao walked home.
On the way back, Zhu Hao didn't find anyone following him, but when he returned to his rice shop, he finally found someone suspicious in the surrounding streets.
Zhu Hao immediately understood that Prince Xing's Mansion had changed its strategy.
Anyway, if he wants to go out to meet someone, he must start from home, so why not arrange for people to watch near the shop, and probably send people to keep an eye on him at night.
Neither Zhu Niang nor Aunt Li expected that Zhu Hao would come back early. With a bit of surprise, they quickly asked Xiaobai to go to the vegetable market to buy meat and vegetables, and prepare exquisite dishes for Zhu Hao to improve his food.
They never thought that they would be watched, and they were not aware of the changes outside.
"Mom, let me help you."
Zhu Hao pretended that nothing was wrong.
He knew that since Lu Song had sent someone to notify Lin Baihu, Lin Baihu wouldn't be stupid enough to let him see anyone again, would he? Unless it was a deliberate trap!
But in this case, does he still need to hang out in the palace? The Zhu family knows that they probably won’t let Zhu Hao see anyone again!
The night was uneventful.
After all, Zhu Jia didn't know that her grandson would come home early, so she didn't go to the city to live with her daughter-in-law early like last time.
The next morning, Zhu Jia didn't show up, but an unexpected guest came, his second uncle Zhu Wanjian.
"Let your little Haozi come over and talk."
Zhu Wanjian went straight into the shop and shouted to Madam Zhu with an arrogant look.
Mother Zhu wanted to ask why it wasn't the old lady who came, but Zhu Hao appeared at the right time and said hello with a smile: "Oh, isn't this the second uncle? Mother, let me have a few words with the second uncle... I guess the second uncle is very busy and doesn't want to
Just listen to my nonsense."
After being reminded by her son, Zhu Niang probably understood that it was not convenient for the old lady to come to ask questions today, so she assigned her second son to come. As for why it was Zhu Wanjian and not Butler Liu, she was a little hard to understand.
However, Zhu Hao understood that since the Zhu family knew that there was a spy on their side, they would be on guard. It was better to use Zhu Wanjian than Butler Liu. The old lady would inevitably think that no matter how unreliable her son was, and his surname was Zhu, he would not secretly join Prince Xing's palace to frame Zhu.
Home right?
Zhu Hao thought about it, considering Zhu Wanjian's inability to keep secrets, surely sending him here is a surefire strategy?
"Second uncle, did grandma ask you to bring me a message?"
Zhu Hao sent Zhu Niang into the backyard, turned back and asked Zhu Wanjian with a smile.
Zhu Wanjian looked like he was groggy after a hangover. It seemed that he had taken advantage of the darkness to go to the city yesterday and wandered around the streets and alleys. He stared at his swollen eyes and said impatiently: "Didn't I ask you to tell me? Why did you ask me to tell you?
you?"
Zhu Haodao: "So you listened to me... Okay, then I'll give you an overview of what happened in the palace in the past few days. A new instructor came to the palace, named Gongsun Yi, who should be from the city..."
What Zhu Hao is going to say is not a secret. Does it mean that if I tell who my husband is, I am betraying the palace?
The Jin Yiwei Association can't even investigate such untechnical information?
As for how you want to deal with Gongsun Yi, that's not up to me.
Dealing with Zhu Wanjian was much easier than dealing with the old lady. Zhu Wanjian was very impatient and had no intention of asking detailed questions. He listened to Zhu Hao's report like a gulp and staggered out of the shop.
Little did he know that as soon as he left the shop, someone had secretly decorated it.
Zhu Hao glanced out intentionally or unintentionally, thinking: "I wish you bad luck!"
