Su Shi picked up the teapot and poured tea for Pei Xuan like an old friend. Then he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly: "But as far as I know, Du Ziqi did not quit the secret guard, but became a second-in-command." I have been a secret agent for thirteen years, and now I have reached the fourth rank."
Pei Xun said calmly: "The reason why he is in pain is because there is always an air of injustice in his heart. Since he has injustice in his heart, he will naturally use his sword to kill the injustice."
Su Shi asked calmly: "Is he going to kill the unfair people with his sword? Or will he be your sword to kill the unfair people?"
Pei Xun's expression suddenly became bleak, and he sighed softly: "Killing is not a pleasant thing, and when a man is angry, it will only cause blood to splash five steps, and it will not change the overall situation at all."
Su Shi picked up the tea cup and said slowly: "But at least it changed Du Ziqi."
Pei Xun said: "If he doesn't change, I'm afraid he will be dead before eighteen years ago."
Su Shi said: "In order to eliminate the injustice in his heart, he should have killed many people, right?"
"Du Ziqi is not a murderous person, so he has not killed many people in the past ten years, only five."
Su Shi sighed: "It's really not that many, and I believe that these five people all have their own ways of killing themselves."
"That's true." Pei Xun said: "After he killed Bai Jingchao three years ago, everyone in the capital applauded."
Su Shi took a deep breath: "Bai Jingchao, the previous head of Dongyuan Zhiku?"
"The evil deeds Bai Jingchao has done are too numerous to list, but no one can do anything about him."
Bai Jingchao's death caused a sensation in the entire capital at the time, and because the cause of death was so bizarre, it aroused everyone's discussion.
Because he was struck to death by lightning.
What's even more bizarre is that he was struck to death by lightning in his bedroom at noon.
It is said that on that day, the power of God became angry and struck thirteen lightning bolts in succession on the roof of Bai Mansion. Several of them passed through the eaves and hit Bai Jingchao, who was taking a nap. Carbon in general.
So even though three years have passed, Su Shi still remembers this incident fresh.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "I remember Bai Jingchao was struck to death by lightning."
"indeed so."
"But you said he was killed by Du Ziqi."
Pei Xuan said: "Because if it weren't for Du Ziqi, Bai Jingchao wouldn't have been struck to death by lightning."
Su Shi smiled bitterly: "Don't tell me that Du Ziqi can draw thunder."
Pei Xun suddenly looked at Su Shi with a strange look and said, "If I said that Du Ziqi can draw thunder, would you believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it."
"Why?"
Su Shi was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Naturally, he could not explain to Pei Xuan that thunder and lightning was not a divine power, but a natural phenomenon, let alone something that could be controlled by humans.
However, Pei Xun did not ask too much about this issue, but sighed: "In order to kill Bai Jingchao, Du Ziqi prepared for two years."
"Two years?" Su Shi was surprised.
"When Du Ziqi learned that Bai Jingchao was going to renovate the Bai Mansion, he was planning this."
"Inciting lightning to kill Bai Jingchao?"
Pei Xuan nodded.
Su Shi smiled bitterly and said, "But I still don't know how he can attract thunder?"
Pei Xuan smiled and said: "This matter seems very mysterious, but once you expose it, you will find that it is actually very simple."
Su Shi couldn't help but ask, "How simple is it?"
Pei Xun said: "Du Ziqi just bribed a person who was repairing the Bai Mansion, and then asked him to put something in the wall during the repair."
"Something that attracts thunder?" Su Shi blurted out.
"Yes. There is a section of iron wire inside this wall. One end of this iron wire is next to the Thunder Pillar, and the other end is at the foot of the bed in the bedroom."
"After the renovation of the Bai Mansion was completed, Bai Jingchao hosted a banquet for guests, and Du Ziqi also went."
Su Shi sighed: "Of course he went there to complete the final process."
Pei Xun said: "When he arrived at Bai Mansion, Du Ziqi first came to the Lei Gong Pillar. When no one was around, he placed an iron wire in the already made recess. One end was connected to the Lei Gong Pillar, and the other end was entangled with the iron wire in the wall. Together."
Su Shi continued: "Next, he will find an excuse to go to Bai Jingchao's bedroom and connect the wire in the wall to the bed. The rest is waiting."
"He didn't wait long."
Su Shi said: "You must have taught him this method."
Pei Xuan did not deny it.
However, Su Shi shook his head and sighed: "I can only say that Du Ziqi is very lucky, because using this method to kill people, it may take ten thousand times to succeed once."
"Why?"
"Because there are too many uncontrollable factors, in my opinion, it is completely impossible to succeed."
"But he really succeeded."
"So I have nothing to say other than to say he's lucky."
Pei Xuan suddenly said: "It can also be said to be God's will."
"God willing?"
"Yes, God's will. God's will."
Without waiting for Su Shi to ask questions, Pei Xun continued: "The reason why Bai Jingchao is able to run rampant is because he is a member of the eldest prince Zhou Xin, and the Dongyuan Quality Library is Zhou Xin's property. Zhou Xin is another person who only cares about results. People who don’t care about right or wrong. Since Bai Jingchao can bring huge wealth to Zhou Xin, he will naturally try his best to protect it. "
When Su Shi heard this in a daze, he suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask, "Where is the flower shop?"
Pei Xuan said: "The property of the second prince Zhou Jin."
Su Shi couldn't help but touch his nose and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect Huang Guizhou to like doing business so much these days."
Pei Xuan smiled slightly and said: "No one doesn't like money, even those noble people in Tianhuang are no exception."
Having said this, Pei Xuan looked at Su Shi and smiled mysteriously, and then asked, "Do you know who is the initiator of all this?"
Su Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Zhou Xuan."
Su Shi almost jumped up from the chair. Even though he barely managed to steady himself, he still looked at Pei Xun in disbelief and exclaimed in surprise: "The late prince."
"Yes. In fact, both the Flower Garden and the Dongyuan Quality Store, as well as the properties in their names, originally belonged to the prince. It was only after the prince's death that these properties were distributed to the other princes."
Su Shi murmured: "What kind of world is this? The prince doesn't learn how to deal with national affairs, but he just starts doing business."
But then Su Shi looked at Pei Xun in confusion and couldn't help but ask: "The prince is obviously not doing his job properly and is competing with the people for profit. Don't your majesty and those ministers have any objections?"
"Then do you know who is doing business with the prince?"
While Su Shi rubbed his forehead vigorously, he smiled bitterly and said, "Don't tell me it's those ministers from aristocratic families."
Although Pei Xuan didn't speak, his expression clearly told him that his guess was correct.
Su Shi still couldn't understand: "No emperor would ever tolerate a prince forming a clique for personal gain. The prince already wears the same pants as these ministers from aristocratic families. Doesn't your majesty have any objections?"
"His Majesty is involved in every business the prince does, and he is also the one who gets the most money."
"Is the focus on profit distribution?"
Pei Xuan smiled and said: "Zhou Yi looked at him as someone who is not like a human king. The reason why he was able to ascend to the throne was because there was really no one to choose from. If the prince had not died, I am afraid that he would have passed the throne to the prince long ago and become his own The carefree Emperor."
Su Shi was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect that Pei Yi actually called the emperor by his name and dared to comment on him like this.
But if what he said is true, Su Shi really doesn't know how to evaluate this dynasty. Maybe he can only describe it as Qiba.
Qiba's Qian Dynasty, Qiba's emperor, Qiba's prince, and Qiba's royal family.
