Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 81
There was a murder case in Qingyin Pavilion, and after Yao Jun's upholding justice, the people who came to watch the show lost their interest long ago, and blinked away like birds and beasts.Although Li Yikang's death has not yet been determined, everyone present almost tacitly understood Liu Fang's murder.

Yao Jun and Liu Fang didn't leave for long, and the yamen servants sent by the Jingzhao Mansion restrained Li Yikang's body and the evidence at the scene in a few clicks.

This battle caused a lot of rumors outside, everyone knew that there was a terrible murder case in Qingyin Pavilion, and Jingzhao Mansion was also alarmed.Some people who didn't know what was going on even began to spread word of mouth, saying that the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials became angry and killed Dian Qingshi by mistake.

Under an inconspicuous gazebo in the back garden of Qingyin Pavilion, there stood two figures, one tall and one lower, they were Huo Qi and Shen Yuning.Standing like this, the two of them are as pleasing to the eye as a fine painting.

Huo Qiwang looked at Shen Yuning who was standing with his back to her and his hands behind his back, and his heart began to beat.

After she sent Aunt Zhang and her group into the secret passage, Shen Yuning kidnapped her into a darkroom without any explanation, and then she managed to escape the guards who came to investigate.

After the guards left, Shen Yuning opened a mechanism box in the darkroom and opened a secret passage with familiarity, leading all the way to the back garden of Qingyin Pavilion, it felt like another village was under the shadow of willows and flowers.

Speaking of it, the reason why she knew there was a secret way in Qingyin Pavilion was because after Bai Zhusheng was arrested for assassinating in the previous life, Emperor Xiaowen immediately ordered the entire Qingyin Pavilion to be searched, and everyone in Baixiaoban was executed.But when the Habayashi Army arrived at Qingyin Pavilion, the building was already empty.Everyone in Baixiao Class can withdraw in such a short period of time, there must be a secret way in Qingyin Pavilion.

That's why she asked Bai Zhusheng to arrange a wing room with a secret passage for her to listen to the opera, and also informed Aunt Zhang to come to Qingyin Pavilion pretending to be an ordinary opera listener.Escaping from the Qingyin Pavilion, she could unknowingly shake off the tail of the Nie family following her, without arousing the Nie family's suspicion of her.

Feng Qingju's secret road leads to the outskirts of the city, and Bai Zhusheng's subordinates, King Qing's old department and Que Li, must be enough to protect Aunt Zhang to leave Qingyin Pavilion and find a safe place.When Qin Xiaolian met Aunt Zhang, she sent someone to send the two sisters away.

But she didn't expect that there was a secret passage in the darkroom.I'm afraid that Bai Zhusheng deliberately built the Qingyin Pavilion into an organ building extending in all directions in order to leave a way out for himself.

What was even more unexpected was that Shen Yuning seemed to be very familiar with the entire Qingyin Pavilion, as if walking into a land without people.

Now that he has figured out the mechanism of Qingyin Pavilion, what else does he know?
Huo Qi forced a smile, deliberately teasing something to hide his guilty conscience: "I didn't expect that His Highness is also a regular customer of Qingyin Pavilion."

"Huo Qi, what if we let others know that Miss Ningguo's mansion colluded with the party and framed the official minister's son, what should I do?" Shen Yuning turned to look at Huo Qi with a half-smile.

Sure enough, he knew.

Huo Qi's heart skipped a few beats.

From her point of view, the former Ningguo government was framed, and it is true that the person who framed the frame deserved to die, but the imperial decree was issued by Emperor Xiaowen, so she did not have much respect for the emperor.

And Bai Zhusheng is not an out-and-out bad guy, it just goes against the Tian family's position.

Most of the actors in Baixiao Class were orphans, if it wasn't for the sound of white candles giving them a bowl of food, these helpless orphans would have died of hunger long ago, how could they have a bowl of rice with their skills?

However, she never thought of helping Bai Zhusheng to seek rebellion.

It doesn't matter who sits on that dragon throne. What matters is who can ensure peace in the world and the well-being of the people.Emperor Xiaowen could be regarded as a wise king in this regard. If he had to pull Emperor Xiaowen down from the dragon chair, it would not have much meaning other than destabilizing the court and causing people to lose their lives.

But Shen Yuning's position was different from hers. Even if Shen Yuning and Emperor Xiaowen were rumored to be at odds, he was still the emperor's son, the Seventh Highness in the palace.In his eyes, the sound of white candles can only be a rebel.

The cold wind in winter made Huo Qi's hair messy. She stroked the broken hair at the corners of her ears, her expression was calm, but her eyes were a little cold for no reason: "Your Majesty is dull, I really don't understand what Your Highness is saying."

Shen Yuning seemed to find it a little funny, and sneered: "You don't need to play charades here, and this king doesn't have the leisure to expose you. The sound of the white candle is just the end of the blow, and it can't make any waves. Besides, he wants to fight against the emperor, so what does this king have to do with you?" ?”

Between the words, he and Emperor Xiaowen were picked clearly.

"Then what's the matter with His Highness deliberately detaining the courtier's daughter here?" Huo Qi couldn't believe the big-tailed wolf in front of him.

"Huo Qi, it's too easy to kill Liu Fang. But if you want to bring down the entire Nie family..." Shen Yuning walked to Huo Qi's side, and whispered in her ear, "Tsk, even if Ning Guogong does it himself, I'm afraid it won't be too difficult." easy."

When Shen Yuning opened the distance again, the little smile on his face had completely disappeared, and a pair of black eyes were fixed on Huo Qi's face, as if trying to see through the bravado of the person in front of him.

Huo Qi had no expression on his face, but after hearing these words, the corners of his lips curled up: "It seems that the second miss of the Nie family has finally paid the wrong way. Listening to what His Highness said, she has no intention of joining forces with the Nie family."

"Do you care about Nie Ying? That's why you returned that hairpin?" Shen Yuning was puzzled, "I don't bother to join hands with anyone."

Shen Yuning has a deep mind, but he is a fool when it comes to love affairs between men and women.He recalled that day when Gou Yue handed the hairpin to him and said that Huo Qi asked him if he had any connection with the Nie family.

At this time, Huo Qi suddenly said something about Nie Ying. Could it be that he felt that he and the Nie family were joining forces to harm her, so he returned the hairpin to draw a line with him?
Huo Qi choked: "Your Highness is too worried."

She used Gou Yue's hand to return the hairpin, not because of Nie Ying, but simply to find a smooth reason to draw a clear line with Shen Yuning.The reason I brought up Nie Ying just now was just to change the subject and choke the person opposite me.

But Shen Yuning didn't realize it, which made her feel that the behavior of withdrawing the hairpin that day was too much and deliberate.

Shen Yuning continued: "The Nie family will not let you go."

"I will not let the Nie family go." Huo Qi retorted.

"How about cooperating with the king?

A cynical expression appeared on Shen Yuning's face, but Huo Qi knew that he was not joking.

The Nie family is now in the limelight, and the Liu family is relying on each other, and there are virtuous concubines sitting in the palace, so it is not easy to uproot them?But if father and eldest brother were to fight against the Nie family, they would probably kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, which would also arouse Emperor Xiaowen's suspicion.

With Shen Yuning's support, bringing down the Nie family would naturally be much easier than fighting alone.But she also knew that cooperating with Shen Yuning was tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, and the price she had to pay would certainly not be small.This account has to be settled.

"Cooperation is nothing more than a transaction. The minister is meager, and what can I trade with His Highness? However, if His Highness needs a minister to do the work of a dog, the minister is naturally willing." The meaning of Huo Qi's words is that It's a hint to Shen Yuning, it's okay to make things difficult for her, but don't think about using her to attract the attention of Duke Ninguo.

Shen Yuning laughed: "Huo Qi, has anyone ever said that you are too wary?"

Shen Yuning's gaze stayed on Huo Qi, and he didn't move away for a long time.It's not that he has any romantic thoughts, but after dealing with Huo Qi several times, he can't help admiring certain characteristics of Huo Qi.

That is, no matter what kind of harsh environment, Huo Qi will strive for the greatest benefit and living space for himself, bursting out with strong vitality.

"In the eyes of this king, you are more valuable than Ningguo's mansion. If I want to make an idea of ​​Ningguo's mansion, I will pay you back." Shen Yuning smiled helplessly, "If this king said, as long as you agree to three For one thing, this king is willing to help you get rid of the Nie family, and even protect Duke Ning's mansion for the first time, are you willing?"
