When Su Shi left the hut, the rain had stopped and it was already dark. The breeze blows, and the air is filled with the freshness of vegetation.
Yang Wenshu had already been waiting in the courtyard with the carriage. When he saw Su Shi coming out, he smiled at him and made an inviting gesture.
Su Shi's face looked ugly at this time, as gloomy and gloomy as the weather before a rainstorm, but he still forced a smile to Yang Wenshu.
Yang Wenshu saw that Su Shi's face was no longer relaxed and lazy, replaced by heaviness and seriousness, so she didn't disturb him anymore and sat in the coachman's seat skillfully.
After Su Shi got into the car with concern, Yang Wenshu raised the reins with both hands, and the carriage slowly drove towards the city.
Back at the General's Mansion, when Lin Mo saw Su Shi's expression, he was immediately shocked, because his complexion was no better than that of a dead man. If he hadn't seen Su Shi and could move freely, Lin Mo would Mo almost rushed out of the general's mansion to find someone to fight for.
"Sir, did something happen?"
Su Shi nodded numbly.
"What happened?"
"I swear I will never leave the house again." Su Shi sighed: "Only now do I understand that Your Majesty is actually saving me by putting me under house arrest."
Lin Mo naturally didn't know what he was talking about, but as long as he saw the young master come back safely, he was satisfied. As for the young master's complaint, he couldn't understand it anyway, so of course it went in one ear and out the other.
"Master, have you had dinner?"
Lin Mo was originally looking for something to say when he had nothing to say, but as soon as he asked this question, he immediately heard a clear grunt.
Lin Mo looked at him in surprise: "Where have you gone, Master? Why haven't you eaten so late?"
Su Shi could only say vaguely: "There are too many things to do and I forgot about it in my busy schedule. Ask the kitchen to make some and bring it to my room."
Lin Mo immediately informed people to prepare meals, and Su Shi also walked towards his dormitory with heavy steps.
In the palace, the lights are brilliant.
Although Zhou Yu tried his best to hide his expression, the surprise in his eyes could no longer be hidden, and the muscles on his face began to shake uncontrollably.
His voice also trembled slightly when he spoke: "Are you telling the truth?"
A man dressed as a guard was lying on the ground, his voice full of fear: "I dare not lie in my humble position, let alone deceive His Highness."
Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said slowly: "Does anyone else know about this?"
"I dare not tell others about such treacherous words, but I only dare to report them to His Highness."
"You did a good job." Then he said sternly: "Remember, this matter is rotten in my stomach, and I must not mention it to others from now on."
The guard said in fear: "I know this because of my humble position."
Then Zhou Yu's tone softened slightly: "Where are the two villagers who knew about this now?"
"It was a matter of great importance. I was afraid of leaking the news, so I took the two people to the Guiyuan Inn in the city on the pretext of being rewarded, and made them drink in the evening. Now they were both drunk and resting in the inn. Wu Cheng was guarding it there. I knew the matter was urgent, so I came over night to ask for instructions from His Highness."
"To disturb His Highness's rest is a crime worthy of death."
Zhou Yu showed a satisfied smile, nodded to Wu Fei and said, "You have done a good job in this matter, and I will definitely reward you."
Wu Fei was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously. He just kept kowtowing and said loudly: "Being loyal to His Highness is a humble duty. I don't dare to ask for rewards."
Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "If you do something for me, you will be rewarded for your merit."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhou Yu thought for a moment, then straightened his face, took off a jade pendant from his waist, walked up to Wu Fei, and said, "Take this jade pendant and go back to the inn first. Bring those two people to the Ministry of Justice tomorrow. I want Ask in person.”
Wu Fei took the jade pendant with both hands and said respectfully: "I accept my order in this humble position."
After Wu Fei left, Zhou Yu was the only one left in the palace. He could no longer hold back, and his eyes finally showed ecstasy.
He slowly closed his eyes and murmured: "I originally thought it would take another ten years, but I didn't expect the opportunity to appear so soon."
Zhou Jin held a piece of paper and looked at it for a long time, the expression on his face became uncertain. Wen Tingfang stood quietly aside, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resting his mind.
After a long time, Zhou Jin seemed to have made up his mind, and then looked at Wen Tingfang with a complicated expression.
"This is the secret report I just received. I would like to ask my father-in-law to read it and give me some advice."
Wen Tingfang then opened his eyes and asked slowly: "Where did the secret report come from?"
"It was sent urgently by the spies lurking around King Qi. The report is related to my father."
Hearing this, Wen Tingfang couldn't help but feel slightly moved: "Is it related to His Majesty?"
Although Zhou Jin's face was solemn, there was a hint of excitement in his tone: "If this secret report is true, this matter is not only related to the father, but also determines the fate of Daqian."
Wen Tingfang knew that King Zhao was by no means a person who liked to exaggerate. When he heard what he said, he couldn't help but take a breath and look at the thin piece of paper involuntarily.
He really couldn't figure out how this thin piece of paper could decide Da Gan's fate.
And that thin piece of paper seemed to have some kind of magic power. Wen Tingfang couldn't help but take the paper, but after just one glance, he couldn't look away from it, and his face no longer had the calmness of the past.
After a long time, Wen Ting raised his head with difficulty. At this time, he did not care about his dignity and stared at Zhou Jin closely.
"Is what is written on the paper true?"
Zhou Jin's mind was also in confusion. He reluctantly shook his head: "It can't be confirmed yet."
Then he took a deep breath, walked back and forth a few more steps, and said slowly: "King Qi will probably conduct further verification, and it should be confirmed tomorrow at the latest."
Wen Tingfang took a deep breath: "How can you trust the words of two villagers?"
"It is said that these words were left by Pei Xuan."
Wen Tingfang's pupils suddenly shrank: "Is it Pei Xun again?"
Zhou Jin nodded: "When Pei Xun was a Taoist priest at Ciyun Temple, he used to tell fortunes for these two people. His predictions were extremely accurate. The two villagers thought that Pei Xun was a living god, so they often visited Pei Xun. Serve at the ashram.”
"When Pei Xun left the Taoist temple, these two people sent him ten miles away. Seeing their sincerity, Pei Xun left these four words to them before leaving, and told them to stay away from the capital before July 17 this year."
Wen Tingfang looked at the piece of paper again with a solemn expression, and said slowly: "The trouble is serious, we must not catch the wind and shadow, otherwise it will be catastrophic."
"Why don't I know, but apart from the words of those two villagers, how can I confirm it?"
Wen Tingfang's expression moved slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "Perhaps there is a way to prove whether this village man's words are true or false."
Zhou Jin was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "What method?"
Wen Tingfang said slowly: "State affairs are celestial phenomena."
Zhou Jin blurted out: "Qin Tianjian."
