When Chu Qing saw Qingyang going crazy with "killing", he started to self-destruct. He couldn't let Feng Taoist watch him carefully for fear of exposing his intelligence.
After fooling around casually, Chu Qing thought that he would talk about it tomorrow and enter the palace first.
Just as he was about to call thirty or forty detectives, Fu San, who had already changed his clothes, followed him out.
Fusan puffed up his chest: "Where are you going, little one? Let others protect you. Little one won't feel at ease."
Chu Qing knew that it would be useless to talk too much. The third brother was very stubborn on this matter.
Thinking that Fu San had slept all day and all night without breaking any bones, it was okay to go out for a walk, so the two got into the carriage.
The person driving the car was a second-pass driver, which seemed a little depressing.
He thought that after his third brother temporarily retired due to injury, he could be promoted to the number one personal bodyguard for a short period of time.
When they arrived outside the palace, although it was almost nightfall, Chu Qing could naturally get through unimpeded with that face.
The gatekeeper happened to be Niu Ben. When he saw Chu Qing and Fu San, he hurriedly came up to greet them.
"Commander Chu, I heard that you were assassinated last night. Is it okay?"
Niu Ben had a look of concern on his face. The first half of his sentence was still human, but the second half was purely understated. He looked at Fu San and asked curiously: "Why is it that Commander Chu is safe every time he is assassinated, but it's you, third brother, who is the one doing this every time?" Injured?"
After all, they were acquaintances and good friends of Fu San. Chu Qing still wanted to show some dignity and cursed: "You can serve as an eighth-level guard and live till now. Is your ancestral grave located on the volcano over Yingdao?" mouth?"
"Hey." Niu Ben was anxious: "I won't like to hear what you are saying. I would rather have my ancestor's ashes spread than put them over there on Yingdao. If my ancestor finds out, he will turn into a ghost and kill him." The last general."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes fiercely: "I'm really curious about how you managed to survive with such emotional intelligence until now without being beaten to death by the emperor."
"The general will never see the emperor on weekdays."
The implication is that Niu Ben knew that with his emotional intelligence, it would be difficult to survive today if he saw the emperor often.
Fu San lightly kicked Niu Ben's butt: "There is no one who works as a nurse without getting hurt."
"But brother, I haven't heard of any nursing home in Beijing besides Third Brother..."
Fu San quickly took out the Changlu and threw it to Niu Ben: "If you have nothing to do, read more and stop talking nonsense here."
Chu Qing was too lazy to talk to Niu Ben and entered the palace angrily.
When the eunuchs saw Chu Qing, they bowed separately. After walking for a while, they met an acquaintance, Hu Xiao. The first time they saw Niu Ben, this guy almost made Chu Qing's ass explode.
Hu Xiao walked up quickly, instead of saluting, he knelt down directly and showed his courtesy.
Chu Qing waved his hand to let this guy get up: "Where is your Majesty?"
"Jingyi Hall, I will take you there right now."
Now Hu Xiao was scared when she looked at Chu Qing.
After all, he is a direct descendant of Grand Duke Gongsun An. He has been to the frontier army to "deliver orders" before, so he knows the identity of Chu Qing, the tenth old man. Sometimes when I think about how I almost didn't let the imperial guard hit Chu Qing with a stick, I feel sick on the back of my neck. cold.
Bending down and leading the way beside Chu Qing, Hu Xiao was so humble that her head was almost stuck in her crotch.
"I want to ask you something." Chu Qing said as he walked: "When the emperor learned that the prince was assassinated last night, was he angry?"
In fact, it was an innocent question, but Hu Xiao smiled and said: "How come you are not angry? At that time, there was a message outside the palace, and the old slave went to the Jingyi Hall to report it. After His Majesty learned that you and the prince were assassinated, he even went to the imperial court. He kicked me over and said... and said..."
"say what?"
"Your Majesty has persuaded his closest relatives to find the murderer even if he kills everyone in the world."
"That's really urgent. After all, the prince was almost assassinated."
"The old servant said that the prince is fine. It was because you almost had an accident and seemed to be injured. That's why your majesty persuaded his closest relatives... Even if everyone in the world is killed, the person behind the scenes must be found out."
Chu Qing stopped and felt warm in his heart.
In my memory, it seemed that I rarely saw the fourth child getting angry. He only got angry once when he kicked the palace cook.
He was obviously angry last night, but he was laughing and joking when he saw himself.
This made Chu Qing very touched, really touched.
In fact, after confirming his identity, although Chu Qing accepted it, he still felt a little awkward.
When I was "doing things" in the past, I never thought about safeguarding "imperial power". The starting point was usually the common people, and I thought about issues from the perspective of a small person.
Essentially, Chu Qing didn't like imperial power, because imperial power represented feudalism, and feudalism represented unfairness. He even thought about the bold idea of constitutional monarchy to punish the nine tribes.
But since he found out that he was also a member of the royal family and had the blood of the Chang family, he became a little over-the-top, not too over-the-top. He just stopped thinking about these issues, because it would be embarrassing and he felt a bit like a fool.
In general, Huang Laosi is still a wise man, at least he truly regards the people as his subjects. Not to mention Chang Yu, he will definitely be a good emperor in the future, but the problem is that emperors are passed down from generation to generation.
There is a chance of a foolish king, a loser, or a prodigal son. This is not just a matter of a prosperous family, but of the entire country and countless people.
But now, Chu Qing suddenly thought about it. Let alone live a hundred years, it is unknown whether he can live past fifty at this speed. It is enough to do something as hard as possible. There is no need to compete with himself.
Compete with those who are good to you, walk the right path, take it step by step, think about the future in the future, and solve the current problems first.
The sky had darkened, and when they arrived at the Jingyi Hall, the fourth child was burying his head in his desk, frowning tightly.
After Hu Xiaotong made an announcement, the fourth child raised his head and showed a big smile. Chu Qing's familiar smile was a smile that should not appear on the emperor's face.
From the face of the fourth child, from this smile, Chu Qing could feel a special emotion every time, like a brother or a friend.
Chu Qing suddenly wanted to shout something special---Old Si, your smile will be protected by me from now on!
Shaking his head vigorously, Chu Qing walked in with a disgusted look on his face, feeling that he must have had sequelae after being hit on the back of the head.
Sun An quickly moved Xiudun and brewed new tea. He was very attentive and did not give the fourth son any chance to deduct any of his salary.
After closing the memorial, Lao Si stood up, twisted his waist, walked around to the desk, and sat down on the desk, happily.
"What happened? Those assassins spoke?"
"Well, Chen Luoyu, who just came to Beijing a few days ago to serve as the minister of Honglu Temple, was involved, and there was also a general of the Ministry of War. The eldest lady came from Donghai, and she rose quickly in the Ministry of War. Some officials in the court who came from Donghai had quite a personal relationship with him.
Well, there is a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel who should be involved in this matter. Chen Luoyu was recommended to come to the capital, and there are also some people from the Donghai family who should be involved. There are also people in the capital, and we will almost know about it tomorrow."
"Chen Luoyu." Huang Laosi thought about it for a moment: "Donghai Chen family?"
"yes."
"really."
The fourth child didn't have too many surprises. He had already thought of it when Jiang Yuesheng told him that some assassins were Japanese thieves, and he also mentioned Chen Luoyu a little bit.
"This East China Sea... is rotten, rotten to the core."
The fourth child turned around and took out a memorial and threw it to Chu Qing: "Let's take a look."
After Chu Qing received the memorial, he used it as a fan to fan the wind: "You just say so."
"Guanghuai Road in the East China Sea has the highest taxes in the two seasons since spring this year, and Dachang Fifteen Road takes the top spot."
Chu Qing was confused: "Aren't the people in that place miserable?"
"Where do you think this tax money comes from?"
Chu Qing's face darkened: "Smuggling, exploiting the people!"
"Old Shi, do you still dare to go to the East China Sea?"
"That's what you're asking, of course I'm going."
"After you go, I will ask you to bring three things back."
"Except money and girls, everything else will do."
"Oh, okay, then after you go to the East China Sea, I will ask you to bring something back."
Chu Qing: "..."
"Heads, heads rolling in, the heads of the Donghai family and officials!"
Chu Qing gave a slight salute: "My lord, after returning to the capital from the East China Sea, I will present a human head, a local specialty of the East China Sea, to Your Majesty!"
