Take the hospital back to ancient times

Chapter 228 Empress Yang Chooses Wisely
The Liao Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty are also mortal enemies, the kind that will never die. Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures is an inextricable deadlock.

It's just that there is no hero in Liao who wants to invade south, and Da Zhou is unable to counterattack, so the two countries have temporarily suspended their troops.

But this kind of peace comes at a price, that is, Dazhou has to pay 50 taels of silver, 30 bolts of silk, 100 catties of tea, and [-] million shi of grain as compensation every year.

If it is converted into copper coins, it is almost 200 million guan, which is definitely a huge number.

And it's not a question of money, it's a question of Da Zhou being slapped in the face.

Not to mention the emperor and queen of the Great Zhou, even ordinary people from the Great Zhou, who wouldn't be gnashing their teeth at the Liao Kingdom?Can't wait to get rid of it and then hurry up?
When Queen Yang heard that Nanjing, an important port, had been destroyed by her arch-rival, she was naturally very happy, and laughed loudly:
"Coincidence, what a coincidence, what a coincidence!"

Zhou Jingyi saw that the empress was so happy, and knew that he should have passed the test again this time, so he carefully reminded:
"Ma'am, think about it again, the day after Chen Buer came back from Dengzhou, a murder case occurred in the Cui family, as long as this kid appears, there will be a series of murder cases everywhere, what a coincidence.

Moreover, our spies reported that Chen Buer was not far away when the homicide occurred in the Cui family. You can see the inner house of the Cui family from a distance.

But he also has reasons to remove the suspicion. First, Huixian Tower is at least [-] steps away from Gushengtang, more than two miles away. If it was really him who committed the crime, what kind of hidden weapon hurt people?It was so far away that it was almost impossible to see people in the distance, let alone kill them. "

Empress Yang was thoughtful, "If you go on, is there another reason?"

"Another reason?"

Zhou Jingyi burst out laughing.

Empress Yang looked at her big nephew inexplicably, her eyes were full of puzzlement.

"My lord, forgive me. I remembered the confessions of the little girls in Huixianlou. They told me that Chen Buer was drinking and reciting poems in his room at that time. A poem was written on the spot.

Niang, listen to the poem he wrote at that time: "If you want to ask how many women are there, I don't know how many there are."Yesterday a child called my father, who is his mother? 'Hahaha, it really killed me laughing. "

Empress Yang's mouth twitched when she heard it. Is this poetry?This is not even folk slang, it is simply vulgar.

Zhou Jingyi finished laughing, and continued:
"So from Xiaoer's testimony, Chen Buer is suspicious and has a motive for committing the crime. After all, he appeared in the place where he should not appear, but he seems to have no time, tools, or methods to commit the crime.

If he is a murderer, at such a long distance, unless it is a large-scale tool such as the octagonal crossbow in the army, he can shoot to Cui's mansion, but there is no abnormality at the scene. If there is a large-scale weapon, he will not have time to receive it, so I am not good. judge"

Zhou Jingyi talked about his speculation and investigation, and came to his own conclusion.

Empress Yang paced slowly in the palace, and suddenly said with a smile: "No, he still has a flaw."

"Oh? What is it?" Zhou Jingyi asked strangely.

"Do you remember that on the night when the Chen family's house was ransacked, three halls in the palace were burned down by fire for no reason. According to the report from the guards who watched the night, they first heard three loud thunderclaps, then an explosion, and finally the fire. "

"Sigh~~~~"

Zhou Jingyi took a deep breath, "This, this, isn't this exactly the same routine as the case of the destruction of Xijin Mansion?"

Empress Yang stood in front of the window, from which she could have seen the eaves of Tianzhang Pavilion, but Tianzhang Pavilion was burned down by a mysterious fire that night, leaving only an empty shelf.

"How? The method of committing the crime is the same. Several mysterious cases are inseparably related to Chen Buer or the Chen family. What does that mean?"

"The fire in the palace, the explosion in Xijin Mansion, the killing of the King of the South Courtyard, the destruction of Suzhou Port, and the headshots of the Cui family brothers were all the work of the Chen family!"

"No, to be precise, it should be Chen Buer's work!"

Zhou Jingyi stood up immediately, with a fierce look on his face: "Good guy, I'll arrest him right now and interrogate him severely. I don't believe that nothing can be achieved by torture."

"Hold on."

Empress Yang stopped it aloud:

"You, it's reckless to do things. If it's really Chen Buer's case, he even bombed Nanjing in the Liao Kingdom and burned my palace if he said it. Do you think he will let you catch it? Don't throw it away yourself. killed!"

Zhou Jingyi was in a hurry: "But ma'am, let's just let him go like this? He, he blew up the three main halls in the palace. His crime is unforgivable."

Empress Yang rolled her eyes at this nephew, and sighed in her heart. After all, the Yang family is a small family, and the people who come out are not big enough, so they will shout and kill.

"Jingyi, now we are just guessing, and there is no evidence to prove that Chen Buer did it. Even if he did it, he bombed Xijin Mansion and killed the king of Nanyuan. This is all proud of our country. It's a great thing, he has merit.

As for him blowing up the palace, it's not easy. If he really wants me and the officials to die, do you think we can still live till now?This is just a child throwing a temper tantrum and playing petty temper, and it doesn't matter.

The important thing is, if Chen Buer really has the ability to blow up a city and kill a prince of the Liao Kingdom without anyone noticing, if Chen Buer is used by the court, can he resist? A million heroes? "

Zhou Jingyi looked blank: "Oh, what does your mother mean that we recruited him?"

"No, he really has the power of different arts. How can the court say that he can be recruited? What do you use to recruit him? Money? Women? Official positions? People may not see it in their eyes, and with his ability, it is difficult to make money. ?
So the best way to deal with him is to pretend not to know, and then slowly win him over. The young man is the most righteous, and he treats his three partners with love and righteousness. Now the Duke of Yi County has a good relationship with him. We let Zijin go win him over. "

"Mr. Yi County? With his soft temper, everything is written on his face, and Chen Buer will see through him right away, no way."

"You, because Zijin is too honest, too cowardly, and easily seen through by others, so he can win Chen Buer's trust and become a confidant. What we have to do is to create a place where they can be together every day. An opportunity to develop relationships.

Once Zijin and Chen Buer become buddies, Chen Buer will stand by and watch when the royal family and the country have affairs in the future?Even if it's not for others, he will protect Zijin for Zijin's sake, even..."

Empress Yang sneered: "Maybe even help that Chai Zi ascend to the throne."

Zhou Jingyi almost freaked out when he heard this. This aunt clearly wanted to make the "two dragons fight" in the future. It seemed that the empress was also extremely patient with Cheng Guogong Chai Ziyun.
