Yu Changqing originally pretended not to care, but when he heard Su Zhen talk about it in such detail, he couldn't help but wonder if he was into the drama.
When Su Zhen finished speaking, Jin Lian smacked his lips and came to his senses, his heart pounding, "You mean, the princess died more than ten years ago?! It was Yue Xian'er who appeared in front of the world all these years ago?"
Su Zhen nodded in response and poured herself a cup of tea to relieve her dry throat.
Yu Changqing was always calm and self-possessed. After quickly digesting the story Su Zhen told, he first turned to Jin Lian and said, "Jin Lian, do you know how to record it?"
The back of Jin Lian's head felt cold, and he felt a little regretful that he had to beg for nothing and had to listen.
"There are many! There are many! This is a big secret. If it is spread out, your head will be lost!"
Su Zhenjiao smiled and blinked, and said in a dialect, "Not many people know about this, Jin Qianhu, we will be like grasshoppers on a rope from now on!"
"Don't bother me! You can just be a grasshopper by yourself. I haven't married a wife yet and have children!"
"Tsk, follow Master Yu carefully, maybe he can arrange a little wife for you someday."
"Look at your chatter! Tomorrow I will find a beautiful girl and bring her back to you."
"Girl from Hualou?"
"Hey! Your mouth is worthless! You are full of nonsense. No wonder everyone who sees you wants to kill you!"
"If everyone treats me badly, how boring will my life be? People have to learn to accept different voices, listen to more bad ones, and sharpen their minds. Why not?"
"Yo yo yo, I didn't plug my ears with donkey hair, but these words actually came out of your mouth? I can't believe it!"
"Thousands of people have thousands of faces, and I have thousands of faces. If you like it, Mr. Qianhu, I will split it up every day for you to see?"
"Don't! You'd better hide in bed at night and make trouble by yourself. With your plague-star physique, you might end up with a few monsters in a few days."
Listening to the two people pulling each other further and further, Yu Changqing was speechless. He twitched the corners of his lips and tapped the table with his right fingers, "You two, have you had enough?"
Yu Changqing finally took off his cold mask, and the two stopped singing and smiled at each other.
"That's enough, that's enough!" Su Zhen sat on Yu Changqing's desk without any image, picked up the file and took a look, "This paper is yellowed, it must be quite a few years old."
He narrowed his eyes to distinguish carefully and read, "In the 25th year of Shangde, horse thieves were rampant on Qingping Mountain, robbing government officials, and abducting girls and women from good families. They did almost all kinds of evil. The local officers and soldiers were incompetent and endlessly involved, leading to banditry and disasters."
Subsequently, a series of evidence of crimes they had committed were marked. Su Zhen scanned them ten lines at a time, and her eyes fell on the last page.
'In the 29th year of Shangde, Princess Jingyao was kidnapped by horse thieves and went up to Qingping Mountain, but she had a lucky escape. When the officers and soldiers went up the mountain, all the horse thieves were slaughtered, and no one was left alive.'
Seeing her staring intently at the last page, Yu Changqing said, "I didn't understand at first that those incompetent officers and soldiers couldn't solve the root cause for four years, but it exploded after Princess Jingyao was kidnapped up the mountain."
"Sir, what do you mean?" Jin Lian asked.
"Think about it from their perspective. During the years when they were suppressed by the horse thieves, let's not mention whether there was any collusion between officials and bandits. Simply speaking, a princess who was only a few years old and was not favored was not worthy of their head-on confrontation with the horse thieves.
"
Jin Lian showed an expression of sudden realization and looked at Su Zhen along with Yu Changqing.
Su Zhen gritted her teeth and remained silent.
She had already thought of this. Yue Xian'er, Shang Jingyao, and He Lan told a common lie. The horse thieves on Qingping Mountain were not wiped out by officers and soldiers, but... Yue Xian'er.
Yu Changqing rubbed his temples and said, "Well, last night, many people saw the princess self-immolating with their own eyes. No matter what the truth was, it is over."
"Master Yu, you have changed. When we first met last month, you still couldn't tolerate sand in your eyes. Now why has the case been hastily closed?" Su Zhen asked implicitly in her tone, "The files on the horse thief case back then.
It has been destroyed a long time ago, I wonder where you got it from, Master Yu?"
"Then you might as well tell me first, who else did you meet besides Mr. Su Taifu and Yang Tang on the night you were imprisoned?"
The two people's eyes intertwined, and Su Zhen was the first to laugh out loud, "It turns out that he knew the truth a long time ago, and used this secret to secretly guide us step by step, and then eliminate someone."
Yu Changqing gradually tightened his grip on the pen, "It's really ridiculously tight."
Jin Lian was confused when he heard this, "Sir, what are you talking about? Is there someone behind this matter?"
"It's not important anymore."
No matter what the reason was, the emperor spared Shang Jingyao's life.
There was silence in the inner office for a long time, Su Zhen removed the barrier in the room, and suddenly heard the familiar noise coming from outside, as if it was a lifetime ago.
"Okay, Mr. Gu, let's talk about what happened in the court today."
"Taifu Su doesn't want you to come into contact with the court anymore and wants you to stay away from disputes."
"The emperor will definitely not allow it."
"Um."
"Have you really thought about the matter between you and General Xiao?"
Su Zhen touched her nose, "Is it that obvious?"
Jin Lian's eyes widened, Su Zhen and Xiao Chuhong? Are there really something going on between these two people?
"General Xiao has never taken his eyes off you since you appeared at the palace banquet yesterday. I'm afraid everyone on the street knows what he thinks about you."
"Could it be that you...want to be a lobbyist for my father?"
"You and him... are not in line with the world after all. Do you have to endure the criticism of the world?"
"Sir, when I came in and chatted with Mr. Jin just now, I said that we should learn to accept different voices. There are so many mouths in the world. If they don't like it, I have to change it. How tired will I be? In order to accommodate them, I will
How sad would it be to give up my freedom?"
"..."
"You Ning, didn't you always like to stay in red buildings at night? How come you suddenly changed your mind and fell in love with men?"
Jin Lian's teeth chattered and he took a few steps away from Su Zhen, as if he was afraid of being noticed by Su Zhen.
"Just like it if you like it. There are so many reasons."
When Su Zhen made her feelings for Xiao Chuhong so straightforward, it was not only Yu Changqing and Jin Lian who were shocked, but also the secret agents of the General's Mansion who had been secretly following Su Zhen.
They couldn't accept Xiao Chuhong's change, especially when his crush was the infamous Su Zhen...
But after hearing this, he finally tilted the wall.
In the inner office, Su Zhen jumped down from Yu Changqing's table and returned to her seat. She was about to raise a cup to sip tea when a fierce light suddenly flashed in her eyes.
The next moment, the sky suddenly changed outside, with darkness, thunder, and streaks of silvery lightning piercing the sky.
The originally hot wind was suddenly blown up, making all the doors and windows rattle. The sound of howling ghosts and wolves in the wind made people feel irritable.
On the big tree with lush leaves, the branches were directly rolled up by the strong wind, and after a few "clicks", the dust on the ground was rolled into the air. As the evil wind blew up, heavy rain began to drip to the ground. This chapter has been completed!
