Bailihan was a little helpless, but still asked curiously: "What did Xia Ji say that made you come to question me?"
Luo Qingzhi quickly smiled and said, "Why are you questioning me? My uncle's words are serious."
"It's an inquiry, an inquiry." Luo Qingzhi took Bai Lihan's arm, asked him to sit on a chair, and served tea in a flattering manner.
Bailihan didn't show any pretense, he took the tea cup and took a sip.
Luo Qingzhi sat aside, thought for a while, and tentatively said, "Xia Ji seems to be very familiar with you, uncle."
"Very familiar with me?" Bailihan stopped sipping the tea in his hand and was a little surprised, "In my impression, he and I are just acquaintances. Although we have spoken a few times, we are familiar with this person."
The words have nothing to do with it at all.”
Luo Qingzhi took out the manuscript she had just discovered and asked cautiously, "This manuscript probably doesn't belong to your uncle. The handwriting is different."
Bailihan nodded, "No, this belongs to Xia Ji. He asked me to help take a look."
Luo Qingzhi listened to Bai Lihan's explanation, and Tian Ping in her heart naturally believed in her uncle more. She thought about it for a while, "Uncle, can you go to the Ministry of Punishments to meet Xia Ji for the reason of visiting your subordinates? Maybe
He will tell you more."
"What?" Bailihan raised his eyebrows, "Do you think there is something he didn't explain?"
Luo Qingzhi didn't nod or shake her head, and said: "I can't explain clearly, it's just a feeling that he still has something that he can't talk about, or that he doesn't want to talk about."
Bailihan shook his head slightly, "When did you start judging cases based on your feelings?"
Although he said reproachful words, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it tomorrow. Your Majesty has given us a new errand today."
"Okay." Luo Qingzhi nodded, "I'll make arrangements."
"Then, Qingqing is resigning?" Luo Qingzhi said.
"Go." Bailihan didn't even raise his head.
After coming out of Baili Mansion, Luo Qingzhi's original relaxed smile gradually disappeared. She walked aimlessly on the street, and when she reached an alley, she was attracted by the sound of reading aloud.
"Yu spread the soil, planted trees along the mountains, and built mountains and rivers..."
Luo Qingzhi looked at the dilapidated house in Zuo Chai. There was a big hole in the window. She could observe the situation inside without any effort.
A teacher was giving a lecture. The teacher was in rags, and the children listening to the class were all wearing rough clothes and walking around.
"Who can tell me why Dayu wanted to control the floods?" the gentleman asked.
There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and after a while, Luo Qingzhi outside the door heard many answers one after another.
"Because the Yellow River is flooding..."
"Yu is the king, so he should do this..."
"For the future." This answer stunned both the gentleman in the hall and Luo Qingzhi outside the room.
The husband smiled happily and said, "What everyone said is correct, but I hope you can remember your answers today."
Luo Qingzhi left, but the child's words "for the future" kept impacting her, and she felt a tingling sensation in her heart.
She finally understood where her misunderstandings came from these days. Xia Ji's matter was not in harmony with the law, but it would be of great benefit to the future.
After thinking about it, his pace became faster, and he returned to Baili Mansion. Baili Xi also returned to the house, and the three generations of the family met again in the study.
Looking at Luo Qingzhi who had been silent all this time, Baili Xi asked gently: "What's wrong? Qingqing."
Luo Qingzhi took a breath and seemed to have made up her mind. She raised her head, looked at Baili Xi and then at Baili Han, and said firmly: "My uncle, I want to help Xia Ji."
What she said was to help, not to help each other.
Baili Xi and Baili Han looked at each other and smiled in unison.
Luo Qingzhi asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"
Baili Xi took her hand and was quite pleased, "If you hadn't said that, I would have doubted that you were not my granddaughter."
When the conversation changed, Baili Xi sighed, "But, this matter is very difficult."
"I understand." Luo Qingzhi nodded, "But as a pure minister like Xia Ji, I still hope to protect you."
After being taught by each other, Bailihan became calmer and said, "Tell me about your plan."
"How did uncle know that I had a plan?" Luo Qingzhi asked, unable to help but chuckle a few times.
Bailihan said: "If you didn't think of a good plan, you wouldn't come to the door rashly."
Luo Qingzhi smiled and felt a little disappointed, and said: "Actually, many times, I still wish to go back to ten years ago. At that time, I was just Luo Qingzhi."
Baili Xi said in a serious tone: "You are also Luo Qingzhi now. As long as you think about it, you will always be Luo Qingzhi."
However, after feeling disappointed for a while, Luo Qingzhi immediately cheered up and said seriously: "I do have a plan, but I need help from my grandma."
That night, Gao Zhen arrived at the meeting place on time. This time, he waited for a while before meeting Luo Chen.
Before Luo Chen could stand still, Gao Zhen said immediately: "I found those students. Si Ye imprisoned them and forced them to testify against Master Xia."
Luo Chen nodded, "I will go back immediately and report to the master."
Gao Zhen added: "They were imprisoned in the secret room of Si Ye's room, four of them in total."
"Understood." Luo Chen nodded, "Then I will go back and report first. Second Young Master, please pay attention to your own safety. The master will come to the Imperial College tomorrow when the application is made."
"Okay." Gao Zhen said, watching Luo Chen climb over the wall and leave.
Thinking about meeting Luo Qingzhi, Gao Zhen was obviously happy, and even his steps became brisker. When he returned to the dormitory, he didn't see Zhou Jin. Although he was confused, he couldn't think about it at all. He was half lying down
In bed, I couldn't help but feel happy when I thought of Luo Qingzhi.
"Creak-crack!"
The door to the dormitory was opened and Zhou Jin walked in. He walked straight to his bed without even looking at Gao Zhen.
Although Gao Zhen was puzzled, he was eventually suppressed by the excitement of seeing Luo Qingzhi tomorrow, and all other emotions were no longer important.
The next day, there was a strange atmosphere in the Imperial College. It was rare that even the director had a sad look on his face, let alone the person in charge, Mr. Jijiu.
During the class, Si Ye retained the students in the class and said seriously: "Today, Princess Anning will come to the Imperial College to investigate the case. No matter what student the princess finds and what questions she asks, everyone will tell the truth and no concealment is allowed."
Everyone said in unison: "Yes, Qi Siye."
Gao Zhen, who was standing at the end, muttered in his heart, "Strange, shouldn't everyone be kept silent? Why, is this an order?"
Before Gao Zhen could figure out what was wrong, Qi Zhen said again: "Then, the afternoon classes are suspended and everyone will cooperate with the princess' investigation. Now, you can go have lunch."
Following Qi Zhen's instructions, everyone packed up their things and left the teaching building in an orderly manner. Gao Zhen followed the crowd, and when he walked to Qi Zhen's side, he smiled easily: "Student Luo, go and have lunch.
"
Gao Zhen was stunned for a moment before he saluted and answered, "Yes, Si Ye."
After walking out of the teaching building, Gao Zhen always felt that something was wrong. He remembered that Luo Chen had said that if he had important information and needed urgent contact, he would go to the kitchen to find a fire servant named Zhu.
After thinking about the next plan, Gao Zhen quickened his pace, then stopped, thinking, "I will see A Luo soon. I can talk about this in person. It would be bad if the spy of the Imperial College is exposed."
Already."
After thinking about this, Gao Zhen slowed down and followed the large troops towards the food hut.
As soon as he sat down, Zhou Jin stuck to him as usual and sat on the opposite side of him. Although Gao Zhen looked disgusted, he did not leave the table in front of everyone.
After everyone was seated, Zhou Jin stood up, raised his tea cup, and said, "Everyone, I will drop out of school after today. I will drink tea instead of wine. I wish you all a bright future."
After saying nothing, discussions arose in the lobby, and almost everyone was surprised by Zhou Jin's sudden dropout.
People from the dormitory next door came to ask, "Senior Zhou, why is it so sudden? But you are encountering difficulties?"
Zhou Jin said: "No, I just feel that I am not suitable."
Several people came to greet them one after another, and Zhou Jin answered very patiently. He raised his teacup again, "I'm going to do it first with tea instead of wine. I hope you all can leap over the dragon gate and enter the exam smoothly."
Everyone exchanged a few words and drank the tea in front of them.
Zhou Jin lowered his head to look at Gao Zhen's untouched tea cup, his expression immediately lost, "Ah, Mr. Luo, why, can't you even take a sip from this cup of farewell tea?"
After hearing this, many people around began to point at Gao Zhen.
Gao Zhen still didn't move. Zhou Jin pursed his lips, sighed deeply, drank the cold tea in front of him, and put it back in front of him. Pointing to the teapot on the side, "Master Luo can't trust me."
, why not pour it yourself."
Zhou Jin was so humble, and Gao Zhen also thought that since everyone drank, there should be no problem. Then, he took the teacup in the basket again and poured himself a cup of tea himself.
Gao Zhen stood up and raised his tea cup, "I hope everything goes well for Mr. Zhou in the future."
Zhou Jin smiled and said, "Thank you."
Gao Zhen raised his head and drank the tea, put down the cup, and left alone before eating.
At the right moment, Luo Qingzhi and Luo Chen arrived at the Imperial College. Unexpectedly, Si Ye Qizhen greeted them at the main entrance.
As soon as he came up, he saluted solemnly and said, "I have met Princess Anning and Princess Wan'an before I came to the Imperial Academy, Siye Qizhen."
Luo Qingzhi raised her hand and said, "I'm just here to take a look. Qi Siye doesn't need to pay such a big gift."
Qi Zhen was still respectful and said: "Your Majesty personally sent the princess to investigate the case, and the Imperial College will definitely cooperate. I have ordered all the students to inform the princess of what they saw, heard and knew."
Luo Qingzhi smiled and said, "Then, I'll thank Sir Si Ye in advance."
"Your Majesty, you are welcome."
After exchanging pleasantries, Qi Zhen and Luo Qingzhi had just entered the Imperial Academy when a student ran in a panic and shouted: "It's not good, it's not good!"
Qi Zhen called to the student and yelled, "What is it that makes you so panicked? As a student of the Imperial Academy, how can you be so reckless?"
"No, Si Ye, then, that student Luo wants to kill student Zhou!"
Luo Qingzhi immediately asked: "That student Luo?"
"Luo, Luo Jinchao." This chapter has been completed!
