Although the twisted melon is not sweet, Chu Shangshu doesn't care much.

"I haven't been able to ask Xilin what he likes to eat before. Why don't you tell me and let the kitchen do it?"

"Need not."

"What taboos does Xilin have?"

"No."

"Then do you want to eat..."

Zhao Liangyue cast his impatient eyes on Chu Biao, and Chu Biao gave a chuckle, took Zhao Liangyue out of the bookstore, sat down in an elegant courtyard in the backyard, and soon a plate of delicacies was served.

The food at Master Chu's house was cooked by first-class cooks. Zhao Liangyue had a bad heart, but after tossing with Han Ting and Chu Gang all morning, his stomach was already empty. With appetite.

The servant finished filling the food, and they all retreated outside, Zhao Liangyue called a servant to stop, and said: "Please open the door ajar."

The servant looked at Chu Bandit, and Chu Bandit said: "From now on, Mr. Zhao will be in my house, and his orders will be my orders."

"Yes." A group of servants obeyed and left the door ajar. As long as the two of them turned their heads slightly, they could see the scenery of pine and snow outside. Occasionally, the wind would blow and snow would be sent in, which would soon melt in the warm indoor.

Zhao Liangyue was not polite, he took the chopsticks and used them first without picking, and ate all the dishes that were close in front of him, and then a pair of chopsticks stretched out to pick up the dishes that were far away, Zhao Liangyue didn't need to guess to know who it was With his claws, he pushed the bowl, preventing the vegetables from being caught in his own bowl.

"Does Xilin not like to eat this?"

Zhao Liangyue didn't speak.

"Then I'll change another one for Xilin clip?"

Zhao Liangyue frowned and looked at Bandit Chu, sighed lightly and said, "Lord Chu, your behavior is really weird, do you treat others like this?"

"Of course it's only for you." Bandit Chu looked at Zhao Liangyue with a smile, suddenly thought of something, and clicked his tongue, "I can't bear it if I'm facing those corrupt scholars in the Manchu Dynasty."

"Master Chu, may I tell you what happened 13 years ago now?"

"The big treason case in Kyoto in 13 started with a snowfall."

Zhao Liangyue frowned, and asked, "That's when Tu Yuan invaded the border?"

Bandit Chu picked up the chopsticks, picked up the food and put it in his mouth, seemingly carelessly, and replied: "Yes, it started with Tu Yuan's invasion."

Thirteen years ago, Kyoto experienced the heaviest snowfall since the beginning of the dynasty. For seven days and seven nights, half of Kyoto was submerged like a flood. In addition, Daxu frequently used troops against Mobei in those years, and the people were poor and the army was exhausted, so Tu Yuan took advantage of the vacancy and joined forces with the tribes in the southwest to invade.

At that time in the court, there were very few generals who could take on great positions, coupled with the difficulty in raising armaments, it was almost certain that they would lose the battle, so they could only drag it out and wait for the spring to fight back. , some generals even pretended to be ill, and finally, Marquis Wu'an, who was really seriously ill, came from home and asked to lead his troops to repel Tu Yuan. The pool listens to the rain.

Three days later, the first emperor allowed to play, and granted the seal to go out.

A month later, the news of the first victory came. In the case of a shortage of troops and supplies, the Fan family's army used one against a hundred, and tore a hole in Tu Yuan's menacing attack. Mighty and unparalleled, the so-called Mobei Lianzhan had already left Fan's army in name only, and they destroyed themselves without attacking.

After half a month, the military rations and troops raised from all over the country were sent to the southwest one after another. Marquis Wu'an asked Beijing to play, and then personally led all the soldiers to drive Tu Yuan out of Daxu's land, and chased him for hundreds of miles, annihilating the tribal alliance in one fell swoop.

Just when they heard about this great victory in the capital and started to prepare a grand celebration banquet, waiting for the return of Marquis Wu'an's class teacher, the entire Fan family army suddenly disappeared.Searches were started from all over the country, and even the power of the rivers and lakes and neighboring countries were used to assist in the investigation, but nothing was found.

A total of 20 Fan Jiajun disappeared without a trace like water vapor.

The first emperor was furious, and the whole court was terrified.

One month later, when the weather warmed up, Wang Xian, the captain of Zhaowu at that time and Wang Yu's cousin, rushed back to the capital dressed in blood. His eyes were filled with tears, and he wanted to commit suicide and apologise. , can avoid the great crime of punishing the nine clans.

The first emperor immediately summoned Wang Xian, only to find out that Wu'an Hou Gong Gaogai wanted to rebel, and the fundamental purpose of chasing Tu Yuan Baili was to force Tu Yuan to help him succeed, not to kill the grass, and his cousin Wang Yu was the chief envoy, and escorted him During the military ration period, Wang Jue wanted to invite him to work with him, and he agreed face-to-face, and then hurriedly asked for help from Han Ting, the nearest guard of Xiangyuan City. Fan Qiguang sent people to intercept him.

In this way, Han Ting and Wang Xian led troops to fight back against Fan's army. They were finally defeated and had to withdraw to the vicinity of Xiangyuan City. perish together.The battle was dangerous, and the only survivors were Wang Xian and a hundred soldiers, and Han Ting was nowhere to be found.

When Han Wenyun, who was then Minister of War, learned that his son was killed, he fainted on the spot. The first emperor appeased the Han family and immediately ordered the tribunal to interrogate.

In the end, Fan Qiguang and Wang Yu's treasonous act was proved to be a mountain. The first emperor was furious and ordered the execution of the nine Fan clans and Wang Yu's lineage. Anyone who disagreed was guilty of the same crime.Wang Xian and the Han family made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion, the two clans rose together, and the Jiuqing shared prosperity.

At the end of spring of this year, Han Ting had disappeared, and the first emperor personally sent people to take him back to Beijing, where he was promoted to a noble.

In the second year, the first emperor replaced the previous Fan family army and established the Zhennan army, and reused Han Ting as a general to guard the southwest and wipe out the remnants of the rebel party.

"So, do you also think that your teacher is guilty?" Zhao Liangyue couldn't help asking after seeing Chu Gui finished speaking calmly.

Chu bandit finished eating the last bite of food in the bowl, put down his chopsticks, picked up the handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and asked, "Do you think he is innocent?"

Zhao Liangyue said: "I trust him more than anyone else."

Bandit Chu looked straight at Zhao Liangyue, and said, "The guilty minister, Wang Taboo, was executed 13 years ago, and you have been in Maozhou all this time, how did you meet him? Could it be that you have never met him before, so you are so disgusted with him? "

It was this kind of look again, as if trying to uncover the deepest secrets of people, Zhao Liangyue didn't look away, but looked directly at Chu Bandit, and said, "I think, with Mr. Chu's exquisite mind, he must have guessed something. "

"I don't know, I want to hear Xilin tell me."

Hearing this, Zhao Liangyue got up slowly and walked to the door, looked at Feixue who was fading away, and said: "Master Chu and I are enemies or friends, I don't want to guess anymore, I hope you can tell me the answer next time we meet." After finishing speaking , Zhao Liangyue didn't want to stay any longer, and stepped out of the room.

Bandit Chu didn't stop him this time, and turned to Zhao Liangyue's back and asked, "Are you his student?"

Zhao Liangyue didn't answer, he walked away quickly, and disappeared at the courtyard gate in a blink of an eye.

Chu Bandit slowly withdrew his gaze, was silent for a moment, and gave a wry smile.

Zhao Liangyue left Changming Lane in the east of the city, and when he returned to Pingxuan Lane in the wind and snow, it was already late, and the people along the alley had already lit their lamps.

Thinking of a drunk lying in the house, Zhao Liangyue didn't choose to go home, but turned directly to the side and knocked on the door of Xiao's house next door. Dongchan opened the door and saw him, and took him in directly.

"You're here." Xiao Rong happened to be there, brewing a pot of tea and reading a book, looked up at Zhao Liangyue, and said, "You look so bad, you must have experienced a lot today."

Zhao Liangyue sat down opposite Xiao Rong, and after going all the way from the east of the city to the south of the city, his mood has calmed down at this moment, and his mind is extremely clear.Zhao Liangyue smiled slightly, and said: "Please also ask Mr. Xiao to give me a cup of tea, it's cold outside, let me warm up."

Xiao Rong raised her hand slightly, and Dong Chan hurriedly served hot tea slowly.

Zhao Liangyue took it and didn't drink it, but held it in his palm to keep warm.

Xiao Rong seemed to have expected it, and said: "I think you already know 13% to [-]% of the [-]-year-old case."

Zhao Liangyue replied: "It is [-]%, but the truth is only [-]%."

"how do I say this?"

"This [-]% is our obsession and persistence, and the remaining [-]% must be proved by evidence, otherwise it will always be a certain conspiracy."

Xiao Rong put down the scroll and asked with a smile, "What are you going to do?"

Zhao Liangyue sorted out his thoughts, and said: "If my guess is correct, Xuefangyuan and Mr. Wei Xinglin of the Household Department have formed an alliance for a long time, and most of the people in the court are unwilling to bring up this old case, so you are the only ones who have been waiting. opportunity."

Xiao Rong no longer concealed it this time, and said bluntly: "My lord Wang once saved the lives of our whole family, and I should tie a knot with a grass to repay my kindness."

Zhao Liangyue said: "That's why you have been chasing down the Ministry of War and Dali Temple crazily, and even wanted to make a fuss about Ningzhou's affairs."

Xiao Rong was stunned for a moment: "How do you know?"

"I asked Youbai to check."

"What else did you find?"

"I don't have anything to say yet, but I can tell you that maybe from the very beginning, your direction was wrong." Zhao Liangyue's eyes became sharp, "The Ministry of War and Dali Temple cannot escape the blame, but the real problem lies in households. department."
