The room was quiet for a moment.

Gu Mingzhu leaned her head on Mrs. Lin's shoulder. Although the Gu family and the Cui family were in-laws, the two families did not know each other well on weekdays. If it weren't for finding clues for the war horse case, the Dingning Marquis Mansion they saw would have only appeared to be a harmonious atmosphere.

Mrs. Lin and Cui Zhen, the mother and son, have resentment. Needless to say, Mrs. Lin is all about her thoughts, and she is thinking about her own interests. Cui Zhen... now it seems that she still has the ambition to serve the country.

Looking at the appearance of Mrs. Lin and Zhuzhu and her daughter, Cui Zhen suddenly felt a sense of depression in his heart. He was neither sad nor painful. It just made people feel very uncomfortable, as if they were a little empty. Fortunately, the illusion passed in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps it was because I hadn't seen such a warm scene for too long, and I was vaguely envious.

Cui Zhen recovered and his expression remained unchanged, and then said, "I want to write a letter to my uncle. If my affairs come to the capital, someone wants to use this as an excuse to implicate more people. Please ask my uncle to help ask for love for the soldiers stationed in Datong. The Tatars are eyeing him. At this time, a great war may be detrimental to the Great Zhou."

Mrs. Lin said: "That's all?"

Cui Zhen nodded.

Mrs. Lin sighed long and didn't know what to say: "There is no other way?"

Cui Zhen said: "If the war horse case can be found out, it will be a good thing for both the frontier and the garrison. I can clearly distinguish the priorities of it."

After Cui Zhen said this, his eyes raised and his face naturally became more confident: "Auntie, don't worry too much. There are not many generals who can use in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now that the powerful enemy is around, the few people in the Ministry of War may not dare to take on the post of guarding the border. Even if I am guilty, the court may not never use it.

There is no reason why things in the world have lasted forever. Dingning Hou Mansion has been adding icing on the cake over the years. The family and the outside world are not properly restrained. This time I am punished, I can use this to rectify my family."

Mrs. Lin said: "Do you suspect there is really a problem with Lin Temple?" Otherwise, where would you come from to rectify your home?

Cui Zhen lowered his eyes and said after a while: "Auntie, have you heard that Lin Sizhen fought against Tatars in Suzhou Guard with fewer defeats more. The Tatars said that they were good at magic and could use heavenly soldiers to fight?"

Mrs. Lin naturally heard of this, but it’s okay to listen to it, it’s all rumor.

Cui Zhen pondered, "I believe that under the same circumstances, I will definitely suffer a defeat. Unless there are really soldiers and horses attacking the Tatar barracks, but at that time my uncle was leading the troops to defend the city. How could he distribute troops and horses to the back of the Tatars?" That's why he asked Cui Wei to go to Suzhou Guard to see the situation of the cavalry under his uncle.

Perhaps it was because of my actions that my uncle became suspicious, so he tried every means to catch him. Just as the war in Datong was in a hurry, they finally found an opportunity to direct his eyes to the two graves in Shanyin.

Now there are more and more clues, and his suspicions are gradually gathering, all leading to Lin Sizhen.

Mrs. Lin became more and more frightened as she heard it: "Can he really have a problem?"

When he was in Shaanxi, Lin Sizhen came to play chess with her father. Although her father did not enter the officialdom, he often read the military books and warfare left by his grandfather. When the two of them played chess, they mentioned the war in the surrounding borders. Lin Sizhen gave her the feeling that she was also a responsible person.

When Mrs. Lin thought about this, the more she felt vague, the more she felt that she was not very real. Perhaps what she saw with her eyes was different from what she saw in reality.

Let’s put aside these thoughts for the time being, Mrs. Lin looked at Cui Zhen again: “Otherwise, if you talk to Lord Wei, maybe Lord Wei can think of a solution to both sides.”

Cui Zhen picked up the tea bowl on the table and put it on his lips but didn't drink it. He raised his head and said, "Wei Yuanchen is hostile to me and will not help."

"Why?" said Mrs. Lin, "You have disagreements with Zeng Zheng in the Wei family?"

"No," Cui Zhen was very sure, "both masters of the Wei family have served in northern Xinjiang. When I first entered the military camp, I met Master Wei. Although I had no friendship and no conflicts. Perhaps it was different for the Wei family to meet Wei Yuanchen after the Princess case."

Gu Mingzhu has never heard of the grudge between Cui Zhen and Wei Yuanchen, and it is also an unexpected gain when she heard it today.

Cui Zhen intentionally said a few more words and mentioned the situation that year: "I was ordered to order troops in the suburbs of Beijing, and happened to meet Mr. Wei. Mr. Wei came to compete with Cui Wei on the school ground. At that time, Mr. Wei had just killed the guards beside Cui Wei. I was afraid that Cui Wei would be resentful and did not take any serious action. Pay special attention to the situation on the field. Unexpectedly, Mr. Wei was ruthless. Cui Wei was not an opponent. I came to the field to block Mr. Wei and took a killing move, which made Mr. Wei lose his lottery."

Cui Zhen said as he opened his left hand palm, and a scar was clearly visible in the palm of his palm.

Mrs. Lin didn't expect that there was another section. Although Cui Zhen said a few words in an understatement, he could tell the thrilling moment when he looked at the wound.

"Mr. Wei was not old and had not experienced much in the army, but he could hurt our brothers. The Cui family was naturally the one who lost his face. Cui Wei's courage in the school field was not as good as others, and he deserved to be humiliated. I didn't care about it, but I didn't regret intervening to save Cui Wei. After all, the school field did not hurt his life...

But from then on, when I meet Mr. Wei, Mr. Wei will remind me of what happened on the school field that day. Even if there is no real fight between life and death, the atmosphere will be similar."

After hearing Cui Zhen say these words, Gu Mingzhu carefully calculated that the grudge between Cui Zhen and Wei Yuanchen was before the school competition.

What happened then?

Cui Zhen took a sip of tea and put the tea bowl back on the table: "It is true that Master Wei San is hostile to me. At this time, we are all for the war horse case. I believe Mr. Wei San will not take the opportunity to attack me at this time. After all, it is the first priority to find out Lin Sizhen. This person is unwilling to make friends with me, and I have no intention of clinging to it. It is better to do business, and at most, I will find opportunities to clarify the misunderstanding in the future."

Mrs. Lin nodded. The third master of Wei was cruel, but he didn't look like a person who took revenge on his own. Last time, he mentioned that the prince came to Taiyuan Prefecture and asked them to be careful everywhere.

However, we cannot relax our vigilance against Master Wei San. Last time, he was light and thin, although she was suppressed quietly, but he was still uneasy in his heart. He always felt that there was no airtight wall in the world, and maybe one day the Wei family would come to him.

This kind of psychology is difficult to explain, just as if the one who suffers is Mr. Wei, not Zhuzhu.

"Don't tell me about this," Cui Zhen said, "not let Lin Sizhen and Zhao Gongren be suspicious, and it will be even harder to investigate the case of alarming the snake."

Mrs. Lin nodded, this was the reason why Cui Zhen was going to come to the Gu family to speak.

Mrs. Lin said: "Then when are you going to go to the yamen to explain it?"

Cui Zhen calmed down and said: "I borrowed my aunt's study and wrote a memorial to present it to Beijing now, and then went to find Lord Wei to tell the matter of Jiangyin."

Cui Zhen now distrusts the people of the Cui family, otherwise he would not have written memorials here. Mrs. Lin felt a little sad and stood up to arrange for people to prepare paper, ink, pen and ink.

Cui Zhen walked into the study for a long time before writing the official document. He opened the door and walked out and saw Zhuzhu sitting in the yard weaving rabbits.

Cui Zhen never played with these things even when he was young. His father strictly urged him. After his father passed away, he had been traveling around and spent most of his time on the battlefield. Where can he have the leisure to play with these flowers and plants?

Cui Zhen thought this way and slowly walked to Gu Mingzhu and saw that Gu Mingzhu had a furry grass rabbit under his command. The grass rabbit had long ears and four short calves that were even cute.

Unconsciously, Cui Zhen picked up the dog tail grass on the stone table and learned to weave it.

Gu Mingzhu raised her eyes and looked at Cui Zhen with a calm face. The dog-tail grass looked a little weird in his hands. How could he be interested in these little things?

After a while, Cui Zhen weaved the grass rabbit and handed it to Gu Mingzhu. Gu Mingzhu reached out to take it. Perhaps Cui Zhen used too much force when he was entangled with the grass, and the dog tail grass broke into Gu Mingzhu's hand, and then the grass rabbit instantly turned back into the grass leaf.

Gu Mingzhu and Cui Zhen were both stunned, but soon Cui Zhen suddenly laughed, his laughter was refreshing and indescribable.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the pile of grass, what's ridiculous? She was even crazy when she saw it.

Cui Zhen laughed for a moment and suddenly said, "Do you know where to find those people in the market?"

Gu Mingzhu was stunned, but soon came to her senses. Cui Zhen was not talking to her, but was instructing the guards beside her.
