Chapter 263 Characters
When Zhou Huaishan saw Shen Li, he who was so sad and hopeless just now immediately sat up in high spirits.
gloatingly shook his head at Zhou Qing, and then asked Shen Li, "Is it okay if I don't go to the Imperial College?"
Do you dare to say no?
If you can’t, that means you are unreliable!
Shen Li walked in and glanced at Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing
Why did you come as soon as I said sow?
Shen Li
Is it an unlucky time for me to come? !
After sweeping Zhou Qing's eyes, Shen Li said respectfully to Zhou Huaishan: "Master, no, I'm not very reliable."
Zhou Huaishan, who had been gloating about his misfortune just now, was immediately stunned, "Can you also say this?"
Shen Li: "Yes, Master."
Zhou Huaishan rolled his eyes, fell onto the bed with a bang, hugging the quilt and looking like he was begging for death.
What the hell!
Zhou Qing couldn't help laughing, poured a cup of tea for Shen Li, and asked: "Duan Kangbo, have you found out the result of the trial?"
Shen Li sat opposite Zhou Qing, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then put the tea cup down and hummed.
"After the trial, the original items in the master's house were all stolen by Duan Kangbo. The mansion was sealed, and on the day when the items were counted, he took the opportunity to steal a lot. However, the Queen Mother has spoken out today to take the blame. past."
Lying on the bed, Zhou Huaishan stared at the gauze above his head with his eyes open.
His eyes were so deep that for a moment he couldn't tell what the old playboy was thinking.
Zhou Qing glanced at Zhou Huaishan and said, "The Queen Mother pushed her? Why?"
"The Queen Mother said that it was her decree that promised those things to Duan Kangbo, so the crime is not established. After all, the Queen Mother personally admitted that she had given the decree, so there is no way to investigate this matter."
Zhou Qing slapped the table, "What about the Duan Kangbo people?"
"Let it go."
"Let go?"
Zhou Huaishan's eyes moved, the corners of his mouth closed, but he stopped talking.
Shen Li glanced at Zhou Huaishan and said, "In order to win over the people of Zhenguo Gong's party, that is, the princelings, the Queen Mother had to let Duan Kangbo go on this charge. However, Your Majesty also has your Majesty's plan. Only by letting him go can he be more successful." It's good to follow the clues, not to mention..."
After a pause, Shen Li added: "Before releasing Duan Kangbo, we found out the cause of death of the master in his previous life."
"What's the cause of death?" Zhou Qing asked immediately.
Zhou Huaishan was still lying there, motionless.
Shen Li sighed lightly.
Whatever happened twenty years ago, no matter which one it was, was too heavy for Zhou Huaishan.
"Before, the master said that he died of heatstroke while catching crickets. Now Duan Kangbo said that he once heard the Duke of Zhen mention that before the master died, someone sprinkled poisonous powder on the grass where the master caught crickets, so , the master died of poisoning.”
Zhou Qing suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Poisoned? In such a big house, Rongyang Marquis Mansion, my father was poisoned, and no one could tell whether it was poisoning or heat stroke?"
Shen Li shook his head.
"This matter is strange here, but because so many years have passed, it is difficult to investigate, and the part Duan Kangbo knows is only a few words said by the Duke of Zhen."
The Duke of Zhen Guo died again.
As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Huaishan.
Zhou Huaishan lay on the bed, sighed and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he sat up and slapped the bed, with a look of disbelief on his face, "I was actually poisoned to death?"
"Dad, do you still remember what happened that day?"
Zhou Huaishan rolled his eyes and thought for a while.
"I remember that that day, that old man Cheng Guogong came to my door and begged me to get him a good cricket. He said he wanted to compete with someone. This guy is usually very proud and never asks for help easily.
The first time he opened his mouth, I naturally agreed.
After breakfast, I took Shunzi to catch crickets.
Shunzi had a bad stomach that day and always had diarrhea. When I was catching crickets, he had diarrhea in the grass.
Later, I fell headlong over it, and I don’t know what else happened.
By the way, Duke Cheng Guo is the old man who got up at the palace banquet today and said that I don't play with ugly people. "
Zhou Qing and Shen Li looked at each other.
Zhou Qing asked again: "Dad, do you have a good relationship with Duke Cheng Guo?"
Zhou Huaishan said: "Do you suspect that Duke Cheng wants to harm me?"
With that said, Zhou Huaishan waved his hand.
"impossible."
"Why?"
"Mr. Cheng Guogong and I were childhood friends. We grew up naked together. If he wanted to harm me, why would he have to go to such trouble?
Besides, I didn’t do anything to hinder his way!
He's even cooler than me!
We are enemies and a playboy. No matter what he does to me, there will be no benefit!
Could it be that after I die, he still plans to inherit my cricket? "
Zhou Qing
If you say this is just for a cricket, the noise is too great!
Not only did he harm Marquis Rongyang, but he also wiped out the whole family of Marquis Rongyang, and his methods were so cruel.
This clearly looks like a blood feud.
"Dad, is Shunzi reliable?"
Zhou Huaishan nodded without hesitation, "Reliable, he has been following me for many years. His father has been following me since then. Later, when his father got old, he took over his father's job."
Zhou Qing touched his chin, "Could it be that there is some unique treasure in the Rongyang Marquis Mansion that people are worried about?"
Zhou Huaishan wrinkled his eyes and thought about it for a while with a blank look on his face.
"It shouldn't be. My family has a lot of money, but we really don't have any other treasures, that is, those tacky gold and silver jewelry."
Zhou Qing
It’s really an ordinary possession!
It was hard to get anything out of him for a while, as Zhou Huaishan had to study and get up early tomorrow. The three of them said a few simple words, and then Zhou Qing and Shen Li got up and left.
Zhou Huaishan was left alone, crying and howling. He said he would find out the real murderer and kill the bastard, and then he said he would go to the Imperial College tomorrow to ask Zhou Qing to prepare to collect his body.
After leaving Zhou Huaishan's room, Zhou Qing said to Shen Li, "Today in the palace, I offended the queen badly."
Shen Li had a dark light in his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It's the same whether I offended you or not. Whether you married me or because you are the daughter of my master, you and the queen are destined to be enemies."
Zhou Qing rolled his eyes, "Who said that people with different political views must be enemies?"
Shen Li raised his hand and flicked Zhou Qing's forehead lightly, "The queen is not Shi Yuexin."
Zhou Qing choked immediately.
Tomorrow is Zhou Huaishan's first day of school, and Zhou Qing has to send his father to school. He dare not chat with Shen Li about life philosophy under the moon and flowers too late.
The two of them stayed together for a while, and Shen Li sent Zhou Qing back to the house.
Kyoto was quiet and peaceful under the night.
But in the dark place where the moonlight could not reach, a dark shadow huddled outside Zhou Huaishan's house, with a pair of dark eyes staring at the door of the house.
That look was full of inquiry and doubt. After hesitating for a long time, he finally looked determined and emerged from the shadows, wanting to jump over the wall and enter the courtyard.
However, at the moment he stood up, he suddenly found that there were secret guards guarding near the courtyard wall.
He clenched his drooping hands into fists, stood still for a moment, and left quietly.
