Fang Zhizhou knew what Yan Yunhe meant, and this was not the first time Yan Yunhe raised such a question.

"Do you still think that His Majesty and Yu Qin have some secret interactions?" Fang Zhizhou said.

Yan Yunhe was not sure: "This is just my guess."

Emperor Cheng Jing showed no emotion or anger, which was their consensus. Even his subordinates who have been following him for a long time sometimes cannot tell the difference between his happiness and anger.

What's more, you can guess his views on certain things from his expression.

To put it another way, the power of God is unpredictable.

Fang Zhizhou pondered: "If Your Majesty really has contact with Yu Qin, how could the Queen Mother, a cautious person like her, let Yu Qin sit in the position of the commander of the capital?"

"The Queen Mother may not have no doubts, otherwise she wouldn't be so impatient. Leave the task of killing me to Yu Qin," Yan Yunhe said.

"Think about it. First, the Jinyi Guards impeached me for drinking in the army, which actually benefited me. Later, they saved my life on Heiyu Mountain..." Before Yan Yunhe could finish speaking, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Fang Zhizhou. .

Fang Zhizhou shook his fan. Seeing that he had no intention of continuing, he took the initiative and said: "I know, you asked Yinniang to check three places, one of which is the place where you fell off the cliff. Think about it together. "What else can't be guessed."

Yan Yunhe was speechless for a moment, but as a member of the Imperial City Department, Yinniang would not be able to control the entire Imperial City Department if the promotion officer did not know what the people below were investigating.

Fang Zhizhou thought about it carefully and felt that Yu Qin was indeed suspicious in everything.

"But it's useless for you and I to think too much here. The most important thing now is to help you get rid of the crime, and to find the person who is behind the chaos." Fang Zhizhou knocked on the table with his fan: "I really think Yu Qin is me It's easier to check this way."

Yan Yunhe touched his cheek lightly, the burning feeling still not gone: "You're right, maybe I'm overthinking it, why bother following him everywhere. I can't get through it."

After hearing what he said, Fang Zhizhou shook his head and sighed: "I hope you can be as sensible as him and worry less."

Yinniang

has been feeling a little restless since she came back from Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Eunuch Yan was waiting outside for her for a long time. When entering the door, Yinniang tripped over the threshold and almost fell down. Eunuch Yan quickly supported her with his eyes and hands, and Yinniang grabbed her wrist. Before she could thank her, she saw that it was wrapped with a bandage.

"Eunuch Yan, what's going on?" Yinniang asked in surprise.

Eunuch Yan rolled up his sleeves and said calmly: "Nothing's wrong, I just suffered a slight injury while handling Xiao. Miss Yin, please come here."

Yinniang combed her temples: "Is there anyone in Kyoto who can hurt Eunuch Yan?"

Yan The father-in-law still looked calm: "There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. Miss Yin thinks highly of our family."

Yinniang did not go into further details and walked into the hall. Emperor Cheng Jing was reading the memorial and playing with a row of Chips made of ivory.

Before she could salute, Emperor Cheng Jing waved her forward.

Yinniang looked at the things in Emperor Cheng Jing's hand. The ivory chips were engraved with the name of the largest gambling house in the capital. Did Emperor Cheng Jing leave the palace privately?

Emperor Cheng Jing noticed her gaze and put the chip into her hand: "I know you like ivory things, take it."

Yinniang held the chip and said, "Your Majesty, where did this come from?"

Emperor Cheng Jing said She sneered and said, "The grandson of Mr. Yuange dedicated it to me, and he also taught me a lot of gambling methods that are now popular in the capital."

Yinniang frowned when she heard this. She heard that the grandson of Mr. Yuange also entered the Jinwu Guard. It's really unbelievable to catch up with Emperor Cheng Jing so quickly and teach him such things.

Emperor Cheng Jing's eyes flashed: "But gambling on this kind of thing is really interesting."

He took a chip from Yinniang's hand and shook it in front of her: "There is only one rule on the gambling table, bet the chip, and then we will decide whether to win or lose. "

Yinniang admonished: "Your Majesty, if you want to have some fun, why not..."

Emperor Cheng Jing shook his head and said: "I will only bet on this one round."

He threw the chips on the table: "The cost of entry must be higher. I can afford to bet. "

...

Song Wen carefully applied medicine to the cracked corners of Yan Yunhe's mouth, but it still hurt the adults.

He hurriedly stopped his hand and complained: "Master Yu is so harsh! Sir, you are sincere to him, but he..."

"Wait a minute!" Yan Yunhe avoided Song Wen's hand: "How did you know it was..." "Did Yu Qin beat you up?"

"Just now when I was bringing the tea, you and Mr. Fang were talking about Mr. Yu, and I accidentally overheard it." Song Wenli said confidently: "Next time, sir, if you want to conspire with others, remember to close the door. Okay."

Yan Yunhe said angrily, "It's okay. Next time if you hear something really bad, just kill him and silence him."

Song Wen was shocked, touched his neck, and said with a grimace. You can't be so heartless, I've been with you for decades!"

"Stop it!" Yan Yun said, "Go tell the servants in my courtyard not to let mother know what happened tonight. "

Actually, he would rather go to the Tianlao to investigate, but the current suspicion is too heavy. Let alone go to the Tianlao, he should not even leave the gate of Yong'an Hou Mansion.

We can only hope that Fang Zhizhou can see something from the prison.

However, the news brought by Fang Zhizhou the next day made the matter plunge into confusion.

Fang Zhizhou said that after he went to Tianlao, almost all the traces at the scene had been cleaned. This was almost impossible. Usually in a major case like this, the traces should be preserved for continued investigation.

But now there are no clues, and he can only analyze a little from the traces left on the wall.

"There must have been a fierce fight in the sky prison. There were many knife marks left on the wall, and there was also a palm print that went deep into the wall. I can see that depth. Without decades of internal strength, it would be impossible to leave such a mark. Traces. The murderer should be good at palm skills, and it really doesn't look like Yu Qin."

Yan Yunhe put his hand on his forehead: "Even if it wasn't him, he still knew something about it."

Yu Qin came to see him last night, and he was so talkative. The amount of information is huge.

He even said that the case would be closed within five days, so Yu Qin knew far more than he did.

Fang Zhizhou comforted him: "Forget it, since he said he would close the case in five days, let's wait and see."

After that, Fang Zhizhou said with subtle eyes: "So Yu Qin came here to tell you these two things. A word?"

"No." Yan Yun said.

Fang Zhizhou asked: "Is there anything else?"

Yan Yunhe: "I mean, he said four sentences, but these two are the only ones that are useful."

Fang Zhizhou: "..."

Yan Yunhe put down his hand, He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What, you don't believe it?"

Fang Zhizhou actually nodded: "I have been monitoring him for five years since the establishment of the Imperial City Division. In my impression, he doesn't seem to be able to do such a thing. "Human."

Yan Yunhe was very curious about what kind of person Yu Qin would be from Fang Zhizhou's perspective.

Fang Zhizhou tapped his chin with a fan before looking for an adjective: "impulsive."

Yan Yunhe nodded in agreement: "It's indeed quite impulsive." Fang

Zhizhou: "I know I'm coming here to find you now, and I'm determined not to find any benefits. ”

After saying that, he turned to look at Yan Yunhe and found that the man was smiling.

Fang Zhizhou started to have a headache again: "Can you be normal?"

Yan Yunhe reluctantly suppressed his smile, but failed: "The poppy finally descended to earth, can't I have fun?"

Fang Zhizhou really felt that Can't stand him: "What if it's your own passion?"

Yan Yunhe said nonchalantly: "It's not just once or twice that I've been passionate, I am happy, fairies should be held up."

Fang Zhizhou tried to give him a blow with a fan The swollen cheeks twitched again: "If the fairy hears this, she will only regret not giving it to you again."

Yan Yunhe ducked away.

After Fang Zhizhou left, the relaxation of chatting with friends quietly faded away, and the hidden anxiety surged into his heart again.

The inability to control the situation, the foggy current situation, and Yu Qin all became endless worries.

Yan Yunhe leaned on the couch, took out the purple jade gourd, and sighed quietly.

I don’t know when I fell asleep, but the past events came back to me in my dreams again.

That year, he was in a coma for five days due to high fever and almost died.

After he finally woke up, he still struggled to get off the ground and went to the prison. Mrs. Yan cried and said: "Dong Yu has passed away and the case has been decided. Huaiyang, please stop making trouble. If you make trouble, it won't matter." No, none of us can help them."

Yan Yunhe opened his lips, which were cracked and bleeding, but he couldn't feel the pain: "What about...Yu Qin?"

Mrs. Yan said to him with tears in her eyes. Xu shook his head.

The next moment the scene changed sharply, Yan Yunhe knew clearly that this was a dream, he didn't dare to dream anymore, and he couldn't bear to leave.

That was the last time he and Yu Qin met eight years ago.

The empty Yu Mansion had tables overturned and chairs crooked.

He stood silently behind Yu Qin, watching the other party dragging his emaciated body to lift up the benches.

It wasn't until Yu Qin saw the fallen tablets that his emotions fluctuated for a moment.

Those tablets were for ancestors of the Yu family, including the Wang family, father, and mother. He picked up the tablets and wiped off the dirt on them with his sleeves.

A new tablet will be placed here soon. It is true that Yu Changen is full of stigma and has not yet been cleared up.

Everyone in the world knows that the whole family is loyal and loyal, but who is willing to bear these four words? The corpses of relatives are piled high, but they have ended up like this.

Yan Yunhe stood outside the hall, looking at Yu Qin inside the hall. The light from outside seemed unable to penetrate into the high and deep ancestor hall.

A cold wind came from nowhere and blew the only window shut.

The hall suddenly became dark, and Yu Qin felt as if he was swallowed up by the incoming darkness in the next second.

With his heart skipping a beat, he stepped in and grabbed Yu Qin's sleeves in panic.

Yu Qin's body swayed, and he slowly turned around and looked at Yan Yunhe.

Yu Qin in the dream seemed to see Yan Yunhe now through the person he used to be.

Yu Qin's tears fell down his cheeks, but he didn't show any expression.

The silent tears fell down drop by drop.

Yan Yunhe opened his eyes, his heart was beating very fast, and the suffocating pain still filled his chest.

Whether it's a dream or reality.

The last time they met eight years ago, they said nothing.

Not a word.
