Flower Boat Murder

Shi Qing sneered and said, "Just tell me how good your mind is. My mind is normal and delicate, but your mind is a hornet's nest. Be careful not to sting others."

"I don't sting others, but I want to sting you. It's just that you don't let me."

It took a while for Shi Qing to realize the hidden meaning of these words, and stared: "It's a holiday, your skin is itchy!"

Hearing a lot of Sui Li's flirtatious talk, knowing that Sui Li just likes to talk and take advantage of it, and won't put it into action, Shi Qing gradually isn't as startled as before, jumping up and hitting people at every turn.

His heart and eyes are not as good as Sui Li, Shi Qing is convinced, but he always loses in chess, but Shi Qing becomes more and more unconvinced as he loses, during this long vacation, he chases Sui Li every day to play chess.

Playing chess with a stinky chess piece that hasn't improved for thousands of years, Sui Li feels that winning is invincible.At first I was happy to win, then I didn't really want to win, and then I couldn't bear to win...

Sui Li didn't know why Shi Qing's mentality was so strong, he obviously couldn't bear to beat him, Shi Qing still refused to let him go, insisted on dragging him to play chess, delivering food without knowing it...

In order to get rid of Shi Qing's entanglement, Sui Li put forward a condition: "If you lose ten times in a row, give me a son."

Sui Li thought that Shi Qing would turn his back on the spot and never play chess with him again, who knows, Shi Qing was very excited about chess, and corrected him: "One hundred times!" No more.

This holiday was quite long, neither of them had the temperament of haggling and indecision, they had nothing to do for a long time, playing chess every day, Shi Qing quickly reached the achievement of losing 99 times in a row.

Shi Qing finally put down the chessboard, and locked himself in the room to study on the pretext that the Imperial College would be assessed.Before the book, Shi Qing complained unabashedly to Sui Li with a stern face: "You don't give up, let me win a game!" You know how to let him fight, why don't you let him play chess?How unreasonable!

Sui Li smiled apologetically and said, "For the sake of my son, as a father, I have no choice but to fight." It was as if the two of them really had a son.

Shameless!Shameless especially!There is no one in the world more shameless than Qu Suili!

Shi Qing and Sui Li stayed at home, playing chess every day, and the news from the outside world was brought by Mr. Mo and Mrs. Zuo.In fact, nothing major happened. It was mainly a family matter.

It's just that on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Lord Mo and Mrs. Zuo went out to pay New Year's greetings to relatives and friends, and by coincidence, they talked about a shocking case that caused a sensation in Yiyong.

Someone broke into the Xinxiang boat and killed two court officials who were listening to the music on the boat. They were about to dive into the water and escape, but they were captured by the turtle on the boat and sent to the prison in Dali Temple.

Lord Mo expressed his deep sympathy to the officials of Dali Temple who had to end their vacation early and work overtime to investigate the case when they encountered such a serious murder case during the holidays.

Mrs. Zuo said that the imperial court has always banned officials. The two officials were killed in the flower boat and they would bear stigma after their death. I don't know who is targeting the faction of King Shen and Yi.

In short, after the festival, there will be a wave of open and secret fights between factions in the court, and I don't know how many people will be affected.

Fortunately, with the help of Mrs. Zuo's natal family, the Mo family insisted on not joining factions and rarely helping each other. They would be loyal to whoever sat on the throne, and they would not steal the achievements of the dragon. They established themselves in the court with their talents and abilities, and their interpersonal relationships were decent That's it.

After all the servants retreated, Mrs. Zuo told Shi Qinghe Sui to act carefully after the holiday, and never talk nonsense in front of outsiders, beware of being taken advantage of by others.

At the end, Mrs. Zuo sighed: "I heard from your uncle that after Your Majesty's Longevity Day, the frequency of imperial physicians being called into the palace to ask for pulse became more and more frequent. In the first lunar month, His Majesty even ordered the imperial physician to stay overnight in the palace. Uncle Say, this phenomenon is not good, I'm afraid..."

Emperor Hede is 70 years old. As an emperor, he is considered a rare longevity.The prince is already 52 years old, and he has been in the position of prince for 32 years, and it seems that he finally sees the hope of promotion.

As for Madam Zuo's unfinished words, I understood within seconds: The emperor is afraid that he will not live long, the battle for the throne is heating up, and those who want to do something must act quickly, and the murder of Xinxiangfang is the result of the heating up.Yin Duanrong replied: "My son-in-law understands, please rest assured, mother."

At any rate, with his uncle's advice, Shi Qing gradually understood the situation in the court, and expressed his stance: "After the festival, I will go to the Imperial College when I go out, and Hugh will go home. Other than that, I don't care about anything else. Go, what else is there to worry about, mother?"

Mrs. Zuo warned: "It's mainly in the Imperial College, don't talk nonsense!"

The murder of Xinxiangfang is a signal that a power struggle is about to come.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, after the various government offices held a simple opening ceremony, they returned to normal.

After being separated for a month, the classmates who had made good friends got together and talked about some interesting things that happened during the New Year and the gossip they heard, and exchanged information so as to continue gossip.

Shi Qing gradually became estranged from the disciples of honorable nobles who had been friends with him before, and he only made friends with Gui Chengji a little bit, because Gui Chengji was also a simple-minded person, and more importantly, he was a concubine.

A concubine, mixed among a group of prostitutes, dare not compete with the prostitutes to be domineering, a bit of a man with his tail between his legs.

Gui Chengji poured out his bitterness to Shi, saying that he had been locked up at home by his father to study for a month and was not allowed to go out.

In fact, Qing's situation is not much better than that of Gui Chengji, that is, he has turned Wen Shu into playing chess.

The past few days have been very uneventful. After a month's rest, they will face the assessment when they come back. The supervisors quickly put themselves into their studies.

On this day, Shi Qing heard a classmate running fast, shouting while running: "I heard that the Wucheng soldiers and horses are here to arrest people! They are searching the house right now."

"Catch who?"

"Who got caught?"

"What happened?"

"Oh, I heard that there was more than one, but several were caught!"

"Will the search of the house find us?"

"What happened?"

……

With a "crack", Shi Qing thought of Qu Suili for some reason, and thought, "Is there anything wrong with the one in the east chamber?"

As soon as this thought came into being, Shi Qing felt his heart suddenly lifted, and quickly followed his classmates to watch the excitement.

When everyone ran to watch the excitement, they realized that the Wucheng soldiers and horses had arrested several people, including officials, masters, and supervisors. It is said that they were implicated in the murder of Huafang.

Sui Li once went to investigate Xinxiangfang, after being rescued by him, Sui Li didn't seem to try to investigate again.However, who knows if Sui Li went to investigate secretly without telling him?Sui Li is a guy with many eyes, a fast talker, and no one on time.

While Shi Qing was dissatisfied with Sui Li in his heart, he was also worried about Sui Li.He hurried to see if Suili's residence in the Imperial College had been copied.

When Suili joined the Guozijian, he was assigned a residence because he was a foreigner.Later, when he entered Zhuo Mo's residence, Sui Li didn't tell the Imperial College, and he still lived in the former house.

Before Shi Qing ran into Sui Li's house, his heart sank.Because Suili's house was surrounded by a circle of supervisors watching the excitement.

Shi Qing ran over, and saw Sui Li's house was overturned as if it had been ravaged by wild animals through the gaps between the inmates. Not to mention that there was nothing in the house intact, even the stone tables and benches in the yard were damaged. It was overturned and inspected, and several stalks of green bamboo planted in the corner of the courtyard were pulled up!

This search is only three feet away from digging the ground.

Something happened to Suili, and he was implicated in the Huafang murder case!

Shi Qing hurriedly asked the onlookers: "Where is Qu Zhizhi?"

The inmates all replied that they didn't see the arrest, they just heard the news, came to see the excitement, and guessed whether they had already been arrested in the prison of Wucheng Bingmasi.

A well-informed prison student said: "If you don't know, don't make wild guesses. The Huafang murder case is under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple. Dali Temple is short of manpower, so the soldiers and horses from Wucheng were hired to help arrest people. After the end, they must be taken to the prison in Dali Temple." .”

Dali Temple has its own police officers, so how many people have to be prepared to arrest before there is not enough manpower?

Could it be that the murder of Huafang was a big case?

Sometimes dumped in the crowd, apart from these, I never heard other news.

The situation in the Imperial College was not chaotic for too long. Soon, officials from the Imperial College came forward and told everyone not to panic, to go back to study and prepare for the assessment.Anyone who dared to continue to poke their heads and spy on the students who were handling the case of Bing Ma Si would be taken into the sky prison together.

With the last point, all the prison students hurriedly dispersed, and went to study in their respective rooms.

Shi Qing went back to his residence, fidgeting restlessly, and when he heard the noisy people outside gradually quieted down, he asked the young man to go out to find out what happened.

The boy came back after going out for a long time. He said that it is not clear how many people were arrested by the soldiers from the five cities. The Imperial College is still surrounded at this moment.

Soldiers and horses from the five cities were besieged for four or five days, during which some people were occasionally arrested, and the prison students lived like years.

Fortunately, on the day of Xiumu, the soldiers and horses of the five cities finally withdrew.The prison students escaped from the Guozijian as quickly as the rest of their lives after a catastrophe.

Back home, Shi Qing opened his mouth and asked, "Has the one in the East Chamber come back?"

The servants of the family replied, "My brother hasn't been home for a few days, does the young master know where my brother has gone?"

Sui Li is different from Shi Qing. Prison students need to live in the Guozijian, and they can only leave the prison every time they take a rest. Sui Li is straightforward, not subject to jurisdiction, and can go home every day.

When Shi Qing heard that Sui Li hadn't returned home for a few days, her heart skipped a beat, she knew something had happened to Sui Li!

This year, the new year just passed, but it is destined to be an extraordinary year.

First of all, He Dedi's health improved miraculously, so miraculously that one wondered if he was pretending to be sick.

Later, Emperor Hede was furious and ordered a strict investigation into Huafang's murder, so the prince's party and Wang Shenwang Yi's party were all sacked, and they were convicted by Emperor Hede. One was demoted as a commoner and imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple.

Many of the people arrested in Guozijian were all princelings, so they were implicated and distributed to different places according to their crimes.

Mrs. Zuo entrusted her elder brother to inquire about the news of Sui Li, but it was in the limelight, and it was a big case that the emperor personally intervened. Mr. Zuo couldn't find out the real news. Just when everyone was anxious, an unexpected person appeared .

23 The prince Miao Pengxuan sent a servant to send a letter to Shi Qing: "If you want to know the news about Qu Zhi, you can go to the prince's mansion to tell." The mansion doesn't even have a proper name, it's called Prince's Mansion.

Shi Qing had almost forgotten about this 23rd prince who was not favored by the emperor, but it was obvious that Miao Pengxuan was still thinking about him.

But he couldn't find any news about Sui Li, Shi Qing was as anxious as a headless fly, when he got this letter, knowing that the 23rd Prince had something wrong with him, he followed the boy who delivered the letter without hesitation.
