But there are many things that cannot be done without him!

If this is the case, when he returns to Kunning Palace at night, the queen will definitely fight with him endlessly, and if it doesn't work well, she will make him sleep on the footrest.

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to put down the vase.

When Xu Qin escaped, Qiu Fu was shocked.

This guy is so brave.

Dare you stand up to today’s people?

Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly retreated with fists in his hands.

After the two men went down, most of the anger on Zhu Di's face quickly dissipated.

At this time, Yao Guangxiao walked in from the side door.

"Your Majesty's skill in conducting the three-divisional interrogation is really brilliant."

He smiled and continued:

"Everything in this world weighs nothing if it doesn't go on the scale, but if it goes on the scale, it won't weigh a thousand pounds."

It seemed that he heard it from beginning to end.

Zhu Di rubbed his temples a few times, pointed to a secret memorial on the desk, and said helplessly:

"Young Master, this is a secret report submitted by Ji Gang. It talks about the illegal and disciplinary behavior of the Central Army and the Left Army of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, especially the three guards of Wuliangha."

The demon monk briefly read through a few articles and didn't say much. He had already made an estimate in his mind.

"This group of new nobles in Jingnan, just like the Huaixi nobles in the early days of the founding of Emperor Taizu Gao, must not be too indulgent, must use both kindness and power, and sound the alarm when necessary."

"The three guards of Wuliangha will leave the capital and return to the grassland as soon as spring comes after the new year."

"Your Majesty can take this opportunity to kill one of them as a warning to others and eliminate their arrogance, which will be beneficial to future control."

"Jinyiwei is a good sword, but it cannot be shown in public. However, Xu Shaoshi can use this sword."

"He has many clever ideas and clever methods. He will be His Majesty's arm from now on."

Zhu Di heard that the demon monk said that Xu Qin had an "excellent destiny", so he naturally took it very seriously.

However, this kid is rebellious and not so easy to use, sometimes slipping like a loach.

But sometimes, like a hedgehog, it keeps pricking your hand.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but snorted, "You heard it, he was shouting just now to give up his pick!"

"This kid is cunning and cunning, far less honest and upright than his father. Young Master, you have to keep an eye on him for me."

Yao Guangxiao was stunned when he heard this, nodded without saying a word, and was about to turn around and leave, but Zhu Di stopped him.

"Young Master is slow. Ji Gang has new investigation results on the Liuhe Ancient Road Station assassination case. You can take a look at the secret report."

"Oh, what do you say?"

Yao Guangxiao's attitude was indifferent and he did not go to the imperial case to read the secret memorial.

"The identity of the murderer is indeed a gangster swordsman. Some of them are suspected to be soldiers. It is initially determined that he is someone from Qiu Fu's past."

This is pretty much the same as what I said last time.

Yao Guangxiao was very disapproving and was about to snort when he saw Zhu Di's face turned gloomy.

"But Ji Gang unexpectedly discovered that not all of these 20 people in the Jianghu rogues were killed by Xu Qin and his family general."

"Oh, are you sure? Where's the evidence?"

Yao Guangxiao was also shocked when he heard this.

Still, he had doubts.

Ji Gang and Zhu Gaoxu are the same, and framing them is a piece of cake for Jin Yiwei.

"From their analysis of the knife marks on the deceased, there should be a third person or more..."

"You mean someone secretly rescued Xu Qin?"

"Not bad!" Zhu Di said with sharp eyes:

"Who are they secretly protecting Xu Qin?"

"Are they the former subordinates of King Zhongshan, members of the Zhongshan Guards? Or other people in the world?"

After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao's face became a little solemn, "Are these clues?"

"Yes, that's all for now. Of course, it's just suspicion so far. There are many knife marks, which only shows that there are many types of weapons at the scene."

"Because the death may have been caused by Xu Qin and others who took the assassin's knife and killed him, so it is not enough to prove it."

"I hope the young master will find an opportunity to insinuate Xu Qin."

"I don't want him to go astray, like his damn dad."

When Xu Huizu was mentioned, Zhu Di's face suddenly turned fierce, so gloomy that he could squeeze out water.

Yao Guangxiao understood that Zhu Di was worried that there were remnants of Jianwen behind Xu Huizu.

It was they who were secretly protecting Xu Qin.

"Okay, this poor monk understands. I will help Your Majesty go and give him a beating."

After saying this, he took his leave and left the palace.

Towards evening, he got on the official chariot and came to the Duke of Wei's mansion.

When he entered, he found that everyone in Xu's mansion was busy, killing pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and fish.

Get ready for the New Year.

But when they arrived at Xu Qin's Meiyuan, a strong medicinal smell came out.

Xu Qin was covered with a quilt, and his concubine Qiaozhen was waiting beside him. There was a towel covering his forehead, and he coughed quietly from time to time.

"Oh, Master is here... I'm sorry that Wan Sheng is ill and can't give me the big gift."

When Yao Guangxiao saw this, his old face suddenly elongated into a donkey's face.

This guy really looks like one.

He glanced at the man lying on the bed pretending to be dead and hummed:

"I said Mr. Xu, your illness comes on really quickly!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Qin was still serious, "Isn't that right? As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, but I really don't believe it. This is not a slap in the face. I couldn't hold it back."

"How about master, please help this junior to tell the emperor that I am really ill and cannot perform my duties at my post. Please hire someone else, Gao Ming."

Yao Guangxiao gritted his teeth in anger when he heard this.

He suddenly felt that Zhu Di said that Xu Qin was as slippery as a loach, which now seemed too polite.

What a scoundrel!

"Master Xu, from my perspective, your disease is not difficult to cure. I will bring you a prescription when I come."

After saying that, Yao Guangxiao sat on the chair in front of the bed and said with a ghostly expression:

"Don't you want to seek an explanation for Liuhe's assassination?"

Want an explanation?

The demon monk spoke ambiguously and vaguely.

Xu Qin was nervous for a while, guessing that he must have heard something at Zhu Di's place?

There was a growl in his throat, he swallowed subconsciously, and pretended to be stupid:

"Of course I want an explanation, but who can I ask for it from?"

Yao Guangxiao grinned and sneered:

"You are so smart that you can't guess who the saint is who did this to you?"

"Of course I have analyzed and investigated. To be honest, there are suspects, but there is just a lack of evidence."

In front of the demon monk, Xu Qin didn't want to hide anything.

Yao Guangxiao smiled after hearing this, "Evidence is sometimes not important, because it is not about impeaching or accusing anyone, and it does not need to be precise to one person, as long as there is a range."

"I'll tell you something for you. These people who are plotting against you are the new upstarts of Jingnan. Because of your age, apart from offending them a few days ago, you can't have any other grudges, right?"

Seeing Xu Qin's silence, he continued:

"Jingnan's upstarts are ruthless people who have crawled through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They always seek retribution, so it is not difficult to understand why they would attack you."

Seeing that this was the point, Xu Qin no longer hesitated and nodded candidly.

"Does the master hope that the junior will take revenge and return immediately?"

Xu Qin asked rhetorically, ready to test the other party's motives.
