cold three feet

Ruan Zhi, who was still lively and beautiful singing girl yesterday, said she didn't have it, and she put the accusation on Su Han for no reason.Ordinarily, it would be more reasonable to frame Zhou Ziyan, he at least talked to Ruan Zhi yesterday, but Su Han didn't even talk to Ruan Zhi, just glanced at him.This shows that someone is sincerely playing tricks.

Zhou Ziyan stood in front of Lu Mingting who was about to arrest him, clearly saying: If you want to arrest him, if you have the ability to step over me.

Lu Mingting didn't want to offend this young general, so he had to say with a bitter face: "Young general, it's convenient for you, don't make it difficult for the subordinate."

Zhou Ziyan sneered: "difficult? I see Master Lu came to my general's mansion in a big way to arrest people, and he was my righteous brother. Is he also embarrassing our general's mansion?"

Mr. Lu hurriedly shook his head and bowed his waist and said: "How dare you, my lord, it's just that the major general doesn't know about it. The proprietress of Wangyue Tower, Du Yanlan, is the best friend of His Royal Highness. This Du Yanlan came to His Highness crying and said. I'm just following orders, and please invite the Major General..."

Lu Mingting's words, no more, no less, revealed whose face he was actually using to arrest people.

But Zhou Ziyan sneered: "Who am I? It turns out to be the prince. When I was a child, I was eating snot and crying to be my younger brother. Now it's a good thing, just because of a woman's words, I want to arrest my righteous brother." , I take it as the age is not forgiving, I am really old, these young people don't see me as an elder in the eyes."

Zhou Ziyan's few words were not only old and miserable, but also ignored the prince at all, Lu Mingting looked blank and didn't know what to say.

But behind Zhou Ziyan, Su Han twitched the corners of his mouth imperceptibly.

Zhou Ziyan was only over ten years old when he left the capital, no matter how young the crown prince was, he would not be able to act like a senior.But it is true that the prince wanted to be his younger brother while eating his nose.Zhou Ziyan has been a king of children since he was a child, and those children always follow his lead.The prince was less than five years old at that time, and he also admired and liked the elder brother of the general's mansion very much. As long as Zhou Ziyan was announced into the palace by the emperor, the prince was always the first to run to see Zhou Ziyan, and even clamored to let Zhou Ziyan go to the palace. Yan accepted him as his younger brother.

But there is no reason for the son of the emperor to be the righteous brother of the general's son. Qi Yuan often couldn't laugh or cry, but seeing that the playful and playful prince listened to Zhou Ziyan's words very much, he asked Zhou Ziyan to accompany the prince for several years, and the prince's homework There is indeed progress.

If Su Han knew about this, he would probably look Zhou Ziyan up and down in disbelief.Because when he was in Cen Bei, Zhou Ziyan could only make jokes when Mr. Zhou was in class. Su Han couldn't imagine that Zhou Ziyan could still quietly accompany him as a student, which really made the prince's academic progress anecdotal.

Zhou Ziyan then opened his mouth and said: "Master Lu, I think this is the case, and I won't embarrass you anymore. After I go to the East Palace to meet the crown prince and ask what's going on, you can watch and arrest people. What do you say?" The casual accusation of this romantic woman, without evidence and without evidence, is really hard to convince our general's house to arrest people. Since Su Han is my father's adopted son, he also has half the title of major general in name anyway. You have to let me figure out what's going on before arresting me, do you think it's okay?"

Lu Mingting knew that offending Zhou Ziyan and the crown prince would put his life in danger at any time, so it was better to let the two of them argue face to face, so he took his own troops and withdrew from the general's mansion first.

In the East Palace, Qi Zuo was listening to the ditty with a happy face.Behind the two delicate maidservants, one lowered her head and hammered her back, while the other hurriedly passed the cakes.His father, Emperor Qi Yuan, saw such a flamboyant and happy style of pleasure, and he would probably be so angry that he would kick his legs and die straight away.

The one who babbled and sang the little song was none other than Du Yanlan, the proprietress of Wangyue Tower.Du Yanlan is not a stunning person, but she is good at singing. All the girls in Wangyue Tower that the princes and nobles are obsessed with are all handed over by Du Yanlan.

Qi Zuo was shaking his little head, squeaking along with the tune.Suddenly, a young eunuch broke in from the door, and was about to open his mouth to speak in a panic.Qi Zuo interrupted angrily: "What are you doing, Xiao Rongzi, didn't you tell you and me not to come in and disturb me when we were listening to Miss Du singing?"

Xiao Rongzi hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, the Major General is here!"

When Zhou Ziyan returned to Beijing, the crown prince was in the south of the Yangtze River on order to inspect, and His Royal Highness the crown prince had just returned to Luofu in Beijing a few days ago, so Zhou Ziyan hadn't really met Qi Yu yet.

For a moment, Qi Zuo didn't remember which major general Xiao Rongzi was talking about, and said with a look of contempt: "I don't care which major general he is, and whoever is here now, I don't see it either!"

Before the little eunuch opened his mouth to explain, Zhou Ziyan had already entered the palace on his long legs, and he said respectfully, "My minister Zhou Ziyan sees Your Highness."

When Qi Zuo saw Zhou Ziyan, he still felt a little faintly afraid, just like seeing his father, Emperor Qi Yuan.Even though Zhou Ziyan was indeed not much older than Qi Zun, in the past Qi Zun regarded Zhou Ziyan as his elder brother, and that deep respect still existed.

Qi Zuo hastily waved his hands to make Du Yanlan stop, and turned away the two little maids behind him, and said with a smile as if seeing Qi Yuan: "You don't need to be polite, the young general. When the young general returns to Beijing, I should have I visited you, but I was sent by my father to Jiangnan for inspections a few months ago, and I only came back in the past few days, so I was so busy that I forgot to visit you at your house."

Zhou Ziyan laughed in his heart, and thought: Your Highness is indeed busy with other affairs, and is busy watching girls and listening to ditties in the mansion, how can he have time to think about me, an old man.But no matter how much Qi Zuo respected or feared Zhou Ziyan, Zhou Ziyan was just a courtier under the leadership of the monarch and his ministers. As a courtier, he had to know how to bow his head properly.

Zhou Ziyan smiled, and said, "Your Highness, if not, it should be because I didn't think carefully and didn't come to the East Palace to visit His Highness the Crown Prince earlier. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"

Qi Zuo changed his mind and said doubtfully: "I don't know why the Major General came here today? I just saw the Major General's hurried appearance, and I don't think he just came to visit me in the East Palace. Everyone will do their best to help.”

Zhou Ziyan shook his head with a smile, and said, "Your Highness is wise, it's just this matter, there is no need to bother the entire East Palace. I just hope that His Highness will show mercy and let my righteous brother Su Han go."

No one in the whole court knew that Zhou Yi had a new son in southern Xinjiang, and Qi Zong knew who the righteous brother Su Han Zhou Ziyan was talking about was, but last night he was eager to ask for Du Yanlan. Therefore, he didn't hear what kind of unjust case Du Yanlan was suing him at all. With a puzzled look on his face, he asked, "I've heard of the name Su Han before. He must be the new adopted son of General Zhou. But Why did the Major General ask me to let Su Han go, what is the explanation for this matter?"

Only then did Zhou Ziyan quietly tell Qi Zhen about the fact that Lu Mingting brought people to the mansion to arrest him in the morning.

After Qi Zuo listened, he glanced at Du Yanlan meaningfully to the side, Du Yanlan hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to lift her eyelids.

Zhou Ziyan had a panoramic view of the eyes and movements that gave him a glance, and he suddenly understood that the girl who sang the song was most likely Du Yanlan from Wangyue Tower, and the look in His Highness's eyes seemed to be not very aware of this matter, so Zhou Ziyan gave Qi Yu a step down, and he opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, I thought that there was something wrong with the death of Miss Ruan Zhi, but there is no evidence and no evidence at the moment, so I shouldn't detain my younger brother regardless of black and white. It's a dirty hat, why don't you let the minister investigate this matter, and return my righteous brother's innocence, what do you think, Your Highness?"

Qi Zuo hurriedly nodded in agreement. In this way, he not only has face in front of his own woman, but also gave Zhou Ziyan a big favor. Who wouldn't pick up such a cheap and good thing?

Zhou Ziyan returned from the East Palace without resting for a moment, and led Su Han to Shuntian Mansion to check on Ruan Zhi's body.

On the way to Shuntian Mansion, Zhou Ziyan kept staring at Su Han without turning his eyes. Su Han was inexplicably uncomfortable being watched by him. He turned his head away and asked, "Why are you staring at me?"

Zhou Ziyan smiled thoughtfully, and said, "Fortunately, when I was young, the prince was confiscated as a righteous brother. I didn't expect to grow up to be this kind of virtue. I only know how to be infatuated with women all day long. Su Han, when you grow up, Don't imitate the prince, or I will break your leg."

Su Han turned his head and glanced at him, and said indifferently: "If you want to say that you are obsessed with women, I think you can just take care of yourself."

Zhou Ziyan said with a shameless smile: "Brother, that's not called being obsessed with women, it's just admiring beauties. You say this is the most beautiful thing in the world, who can not like it?"

Su Han was completely speechless now, so he didn't say a word until the gate of Shuntian Mansion.

Yin Jiang Yiming of Shuntian Mansion is a former student of Chen Ying's father Chen Yu.The elders who are officials in this capital are all of the same period, and the young are all students of these same periods.Said the capital is big, it seems that there is only a big place in the palm of your hand, from the bank of Yueliu River to Nanxiafang, and from east to west on Chang'an Avenue, all the officials know each other, and everyone has a relationship, it's like living in an alley where everyone knows each other The neighbors in the neighborhood are average.It is easy to be deserted, and it is also easy to be lively.

Du Yanlan found Ruan Zhi's body when she was around yesterday, so she asked someone to enter the East Palace to meet Qi Zuo overnight.Although there is a curfew in the palace, Du Yanlan and Qi Zhe used to meet at night. Qi Zhe had already bribed a few guards and eunuchs and maids in order to meet Du Yanlan privately. For Du Yanlan, as long as She wanted to enter the East Palace, no matter when, someone would get her in without anyone noticing.

But last night, Qi Zuo hadn't seen the woman he was thinking of for a long time, so he got her into bed impatiently, completely ignoring what Du Yanlan said about the death in Wangyue Tower, and only muttered: " Alright, alright, listen to the beauties, and tomorrow morning I will let Mr. Lu go arrest her."

The death of someone in Wangyuelou cannot be concealed from the Shuntian Mansion. Before Du Yanlan came back, the people from the Shuntian Mansion had already taken Ruan Zhi's body away.

Jiang Yiming led Zhou Ziyan and Su Han into the workshop. There were rows of corpses covered with white cloths. Jiang Yiming walked up to one of the corpses, pointed to the opening and said, "Major General, this is the one." The girl died in a terrible and disgusting way, and she scared away the three officials of our Shuntian Mansion. Now I haven't found anyone who can perform an autopsy. Since the major general said that your adopted brother knows some autopsy operations, I will trouble him to take a look. Look."

Jiang Yiming was only in his twenties, and his appearance was honest and simple. He didn't look like an official, but rather a farmer, but when he spoke, he was polite and very refined.Zhou Ziyan, who is so picky, immediately fell in love with him, and said: "It's a little effort, it's a little effort, we also came here at the order of the prince."

While the two were talking, Su Han had already lifted the white cloth covering the corpse.

Zhou Ziyan and Jiang Yiming came between me, glanced at the corpse inadvertently, and pulled Su Han's left wrist in shock, only to hear his deafening sentence: "There are two big poisonous scorpions, be careful, Xiaohan!"
