Chapter 83 Zhuge Qinglan: This matter has nothing to do with you, right?
  The Zhuge family carried out the legacy of their ancestors and were known for their integrity.

But no matter how honest it is, it is the Prime Minister's Mansion after all, which covers a vast area and has an exquisite layout, including rockeries, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions.

The inner layout is arranged according to the Nine Palaces and Bagua. If you don't know the mystery, even the powerful king of heaven can't get in or out.

When Zhong Xiaoqiu came to this kind of mansion for the first time, she felt a bit like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Even with Ji Ren leading her, she seemed at a loss.

Seeing this, Ji Ren couldn't say much. After all, we were not familiar with each other. Today was the first time we met, and he was an unmarried man and a widow. The relationship was too close. It was not good for him to go on his own. As he walked forward, this was not the first time for him to visit the Zhuge family. He was familiar with the family.

Ji Renju walked into the hall. The floor was paved with blue bricks and five-pointed palace lanterns were hung on the beams. However, he did not see Zhuge Qinglan. Instead, he saw a woman in green clothes sitting in the hall. From the outside, she looked like she was in her mid-twenties. The skin is delicate and can be broken by blows, and the whole body exudes intelligence and elegance.

"Sister-in-law, you are at home today." Ji Ren said in surprise, Mrs. Zhuge Qinglan, Huang Sumei, the great inventor of the Three Kingdoms Huang Yueying and France.

Ji Ren also knew him because he had seen Huang Sumei, known as Da Qi's number one puppet master, asking Zhuge Yuquan for advice on the puppet master.

Because of this, he realized that he still knew too little about his master.

My master's knowledge is truly inexhaustible.

It’s just that many times the ideas are too wild and unrealistic, and normal people simply can’t do it.

"Just in time for Xiu Mu. Why did you come to my house? You brought a woman with you?" Huang Sumei looked at Ji Ren and Zhong Xiaoqiu behind him suspiciously, looking a little strange.

She is a little older, but Jingchai's sarong can't hide her charming appearance. Her figure is plump, and she has a charming charm that is different from that of a yellow-flowered girl.

I have heard that my junior brother is ridiculous for a long time, and I have never seen him break the rules since I got to know him. Could it be that he was exposed today and was out there. He was afraid of being discovered by the Qiao family, so he took him to Zhuge's house to hide.
  "Introducing her, she is Zhong Xiaoqiu, the granddaughter-in-law of Duke Su. She is carrying the only bloodline of Duke Su, the great-grandson." Ji Ren saw Huang Sumei's strange look in her eyes and introduced her immediately.

Don't slander people's innocence. Although I do yearn for the legacy of Wei Wu, this has nothing to do with me. Otherwise, Duke Su's arrow could kill Balinghou's family and blow my head off.

"The grandson-in-law of Duke Su?" Huang Sumei looked at her with a puzzled look, Zhong Xiaoqiu, when did Duke Su have a grandson and his grandson-in-law?
  "That's right. Madam Huang, this is my sister-in-law, the first mechanical master of Daqi, Mr. Zishou of Taiping Academy, and the wife of Prime Minister Zhuge Qinglan, Huang Sumei." Ji Ren also introduced Huang Sumei's identity to Zhong Xiaoqiu, giving her a sense of participation. , although she can't make any decisions, she still needs to show the respect and courtesy she deserves, so as not to make her feel that she is just an object that can be decided by others.

After Zhong Xiaoqiu heard this, she immediately showed an expression of admiration. She had no knowledge, but when she was in Sujiazhai, she had also heard the name of Taiping Academy. Countless descendants of the Su family who were said to be the best among people dreamed of entering Taiping Academy. But none of them could get into it, and now there is actually a woman who has entered Taiping Academy and achieved the most powerful purple ribbon level.

Listening to Ji Ren's words, Huang Sumei raised the corner of her mouth slightly. Others introduced her as the wife of Prime Minister Zhuge Qinglan, the first machine master of Daqi, and Mr. Zishou of Taiping Academy. Ji Ren introduced her as the first machine master of Daqi. In the front, obviously this introduction was more useful to her, she smiled and said: "Then why did you bring Mrs. Huang here?"

"This is because of the entrustment of Duke Su. Duke Su shot all eight Balinghou and his son to death. Now he is about to go to the palace to plead guilty, but he is worried about his grandson-in-law and his descendants, so he asked me to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask my sister-in-law to take care of him. A few days." Ji Ren said.

"Duke Su shot and killed the entire family of Marquis Baling?" Huang Sumei showed a surprised expression. She only knew that Marquis Baling broke through to the king today, and Duke Su also made a breakthrough, but she never thought that Duke Su shot Marquis Baling. Since the founding of Da Qi, except for a few coups, this is the first time that the kings of the country have killed each other to death.

Moreover, Balinghou was one of the only two heavenly kings under the command of King Wu. Now he was shot dead in the imperial capital. Huang Sumei had already expected that a storm was about to hit.

However, aware of Zhong Xiaoqiu's lack of cultivation, Huang Sumei knew that there were some things that could not be said in front of her, and added: "I think it was Marquis Baling who did something outrageous. As the Duke of Su, it is not a big deal." Huang Since Madam is here, please stay in the mansion, and you can give orders to your servants for all expenses."

While talking, Huang Sumei ordered the maid beside her to take Zhong Xiaoqiu to the side room. Zhong Xiaoqiu bowed to Huang Sumei Yingying as a token of gratitude, and then took the child down.

"What's going on?" Huang Sumei looked at Ji Ren and said.

Ji Ren concealed the fact that he had known the truth for a long time, and only told the truth about his trip to Sujiazhai with Zhang Jingshou.

"Wusheng Bandit is in Sujiazhai, twenty or thirty miles away from the capital, and you accidentally discovered the truth. You accompanied King Ming for some mischief, and found the orphan of the Huang family. In the end, Wusheng Bandit was behind the scenes. The person was Balinghou, and Duke Su was so angry that he shot Balinghou..." Huang Sumei slowly thought about it, this matter was a bit big. It would be okay if Balinghou was still in the realm of earthly princes, but Balinghou has already become the king of heaven.

Shooting the Marquis of Earth to death and the King of Heaven are completely different concepts. There are not many Heavenly Kings in Daqi. Each Heavenly King is Daqi's treasure and affects Daqi's national strength.

After a while, Huang Sumei looked at Ji Ren and said, "Does this matter have anything to do with you? Could it be that you planned it?"

"Sister-in-law, you actually think you are so capable. You can easily wipe out the entire Gan family and kill a powerful man who is a perfect earth lord. In that case, the title of Wolong should be given to me." Ji Ren said with a smile.

"It makes sense. It's just that you just asked us to move the Gan family, and then the entire Gan family was wiped out, and it was because of you. This has to make people think deeply. Be prepared to be summoned by the Holy One. Da Qi has already The king has not died for many years." Huang Sumei said.

"Isn't Marquis Baling a Marquis of Earth? Why did he become the King of Heaven?" Ji Ren asked in surprise, when did he break through? Or have you been hiding it?

"He just broke through today, but he was shot dead within an hour just after the breakthrough. He should be the king who lived the shortest after the breakthrough." Huang Sumei said.

"That's it, it's a good death." Ji Ren said with joy.

Fortunately, it was early for him to take action, and he secretly kept a secret to prevent Duke Su from knowing Huang Changsheng's existence. Otherwise, the threats posed by an earthly prince and a heavenly king to him and the Qiao family would be completely different.

What a good death.

"Death is the most important thing. Marquis Baling also made great achievements in battle during his lifetime. There are many relatives and friends in the court. It's okay to say this in front of me. Don't say it in front of outsiders." Huang Sumei glanced at Ji Rendao.

"Okay, I will say in my heart that he died well from now on. I won't say it out loud." Ji Ren nodded.

Huang Sumei smiled when she heard this, but did not go into detail. If Ji Ren said that it would be a bad death to die against his will, then she would really have to carefully consider whether to let Zhuge Ran and Ji Ren get along.

Young people are always more frank, which makes people feel at ease.

"Okay, you sit here for a while. Later, your senior brother will come back and let him handle this matter. Don't worry, you accompanied King Ming to wipe out the Wusheng bandits. You have made great achievements and have no faults. You can mention your Title. As for Zhong Xiaoqiu, mother and son, let's stay at Zhuge's house first." Huang Sumei said.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Ji Ren said.

"My family, what are you being polite about? Duke Su has worked hard all his life and taken care of his descendants. It's nothing." Huang Sumei said indifferently.

At the moment Ji Ren and Huang Sumei were chatting about other things. Although there was an age gap between them, they had quite a lot of topics in common. After all, Huang Sumei's most respected uncle, favorite husband, and most beloved son was Ji Ren. Rendu knows each other.

After waiting for a while, Zhuge Qinglan came back, and Huang Sumei asked Ji Ren to tell the whole story.

After Zhuge Qinglan heard this, he showed a surprised expression and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, right? Why does it sound like you planned it?"

Ji Ren's face twitched slightly. Do you two have such the same intuition?

I did this thing so cleanly, with no trace at all, okay?
