357: Wealth can communicate with gods, the so-called sword realm
Zhenfu Si ordered prison.
Zuo Chongming, led by the jailer, quickly arrived at an interrogation room.
Not long after, with the harsh sound of shackles, a man with gray hair and a haggard look walked in, being pushed by the jailer.
"Master Hou, I brought it to you."
"Okay, it's none of your business." Zuo Chongming hummed and threw a bag of tips to the jailer: "Take it and buy some wine."
The jailer subconsciously took the kit and felt the abundant vitality in it. He couldn't help but grin: "Master Marquis, please go ahead and I won't disturb you."
After the jailer left, Zuo Chongming took out the wine and meat dishes from the spiritual ring and placed them on the table one by one: "Eat."
"Thank you."
An Yi was not polite. He moved to the table and tore off a chicken leg and asked vaguely: "How is the matter?"
Some time ago, the Crown Prince, Internal Guard and other messy affairs attracted everyone's attention, and Zuo Chongming downplayed his own presence.
Therefore, many people do not know that Zuo Chongming once came to the Zhenfu Division and interrogated several prisoners in the imperial prison.
Even if someone notices it, Zuo Chongming still has a legitimate excuse. After all, he is the envoy of Xiyun Mansion, and his duties are normal.
However, no one noticed that Zuo Chongming easily met An Yunmiao's father, An Yi, with only a little money.
Of course, the so-called little money is only for Zuo Chongming.
In the eyes of the jailers, this was pie in the sky.
Many people don't know that the policemen of the Fusi in the capital city are doing very poorly.
Firstly, because the capital is safe, they don't need to work hard, and the treatment is naturally not high.
Secondly, there are too many big bosses in the capital, and the power of the Town and Fu Division has been suppressed. Even if they are given gifts, they dare not accept them, for fear that people from other departments are fishing for money.
Even people with official positions such as inspectors and demon slayers are miserable, let alone the lowest-level jailers in the system.
Nowadays, jailers can get hundreds of yuan for just doing a convenience. How could they be stupid enough to expose such a pie-in-the-sky thing?
Back to the topic.
When Zuo Chongming saw An Yi, he didn't spend much effort to gain his trust with An Yunmiao.
Then, he was asked to do something and secretly contact Chen Xingzu in prison.
Why did Jiang Fenglong vow to help him win over Chen Xingzu when he found the third prince Nan Sheng?
Because Zuo Chongming had secretly cleared the way for him, Jiang Fenglong didn't have to do anything, and Chen Xingzu would fall to the third prince.
"Zuohou..."
An Yi suddenly asked: "I still don't understand why you are so confident. Do you really think Chen Xingzu will cooperate with you?"
Zuo Chongming said quietly: "You have misunderstood the point of the matter. He is not doing it to cooperate with me, but for his own future."
"I don't need his trust. As long as he sees that the situation develops as I said, he will definitely follow my path."
At that time, he asked An Yi to pass on a few words to Chen Xingzu.
1: The third prince will find out that the leader of the inner guard is the eldest prince, and use this to relieve Emperor Wu from the siege.
Two: After the eldest prince becomes the master of the inner guard, he will resist all crimes committed by the inner guard.
Three: When the Zhenfu Division thoroughly investigates the eldest prince, they will interrogate you, Chen Xingzu. As long as you put all the responsibility on the eldest prince, the third prince will save you.
Four: It is certain that the third prince will become the crown prince, and his enthronement is just around the corner. It is always more cost-effective to provide help in times of need than to add icing on the cake...
An Yi only needs to convey these few words to Chen Xingzu, and there is no need to worry about anything else.
"I don't understand."
An Yi stared at him for a while and shook his head honestly.
"Ah……"
Zuo Chongming twitched his lips and chuckled: "The eldest prince has been dismissed, and Chen Xingzu's interrogation will be scheduled soon."
"As long as he shirks the responsibility to the eldest prince, not only can he get out, but he can also win the trust of the future emperor. Why not?"
An Yi frowned: "According to what you said, once he meets the third prince, they only need to exchange a few words, and you will be exposed."
Zuo Chongming shook his head and said firmly: "Chen Xingzu won't tell."
"Why?"
An Yi doesn't understand why he is so confident.
Zuo Chongming said: "Because once he tells it, it will only make the third prince suspicious of him, wondering if he has a deeper relationship with me and has other cooperation."
"Suspicion will make the third prince no longer trust him, and as we all know... once trust is gone, it is completely gone."
"As the saying goes, there are cracks in a broken mirror, so if you were Chen Xingzu, would you do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit yourself?"
An Yi opened her mouth and sighed: "...No."
He finally knew that this young man had not yet reached the rank of crown prince, but he had reached the rank of prince.
This scheming and city government are simply frightening.
Zuo Chongming was playful: "The most important thing is that I asked you to deliver the message and I didn't meet him in person. How could he know who was delivering the message?"
"Forehead……"
An Yi thought of this belatedly and couldn't help but become speechless.
He has been locked up in this prison for so long that his brain is rusty, and he has to be reminded to think of this. It's really...
Zuo Chongming explained: "The stronger the person, the stronger his desire for control. After he goes out, he will rely on the third prince and will definitely find a way to get you out."
An Yi narrowed his eyes: "He wants to know through me who the person who sent the message is?"
"Uh-huh." Zuo Chongming was noncommittal.
An Yi thought for a moment and nodded: "You came here this time just to warn me and not let me leak your information? I understand."
"On the contrary."
Zuo Chongming said: "I promised An Yunmiao that I would rescue you if I had the chance, and Chen Xingzu fished you out, saving me a lot of trouble."
"At that time, if Chen Xingzu asks about this matter, just tell him the truth, and he will naturally let you go."
"ah?"
An Yi is a little confused.
Zuo Chongming chuckled and said calmly: "Although he is in the Dharma Realm, it does not mean that he is invincible."
"So he will not harm me unless necessary. Otherwise, since I can let him out, I will naturally have a way to let him in again."
After a moment of silence, An Yi sighed: "...Actually, I want to know what price Yun Miao paid to convince you to rescue me?"
Zuo Chongming scratched his chin and chuckled, "emm, can't it be because of love?"
An Yi's face darkened and she stared at him speechlessly: "Do you think I will believe it?"
Back then, Wanfengjian Anyi was also very famous, and he knew a truth very well.
That is, the deeper the city and the scheming people are, the less likely they will be bound by emotions.
Although this kind of person can lament life, be sad for the autumn and sad for the spring, and have feelings in his heart, his feelings will never dominate.
There is no doubt that Zuo Chongming is this kind of person.
Moreover, he is still the best among them.
An Yi would rather believe that a sow can climb a tree than to believe that Zuo Chongming will be driven by love and take risks to achieve unnecessary things.
"It's okay if you don't believe it."
Zuo Chongming patted his shoulder meaningfully: "An Yunmiao gave everything she could to let me save you.
An Yi's pupils shrank, her eating movements suddenly froze, and she muttered absentmindedly: "...Everything, right?"
Zuo Chongming drank his wine and stood up, saying, "You should be lucky to have a good daughter. She gave everything for your impulse back then."
"I……"
"Next, wait slowly, you will see the light of day again soon."
——
Just after leaving Zhenfusi, I returned to the Champion House.
Before Zuo Chongming even had time to enter, he was stopped by Nan Yu who was following closely.
He squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Hey, how come Princess Qingyu has time to come to my house as a guest?"
Nan Yu smiled slightly and opened and closed her teeth: "I have met Zuo Hou and heard that Feng Qianxue has settled in the Hou Mansion. I have something to discuss with you here."
Zuo Chongming looked at her deeply and said with a smile: "It turns out we are looking for him. Lao Jiang, please take the princess there."
Since today's court meeting took too long, he sat in the Zhenfusi Prison for a while.
Now that he had just arrived home, the sky was already dusk and getting dark.
It happened that Nan Yuyan was also there, so we simply had a barbecue.
While Zuo Chongming was grilling meat, Nan Yu and Feng Qianxue came over.
However, what everyone did not expect was that Feng Qianxue came to the courtyard and rushed towards Zuo Chongming without any warning, drawing his sword and stabbing him.
But the next scene made everyone fall into silence.
But he thrust Feng Qianxue's sword into the air, across a distance of several feet, and pointed it sternly towards the left to clear his throat, but it stopped abruptly three feet away.
No matter how hard Feng Qianxue tried, the sword would not move at all.
Not only that, the sword was faintly humming and trembling, as if it was trying to escape his grasp and bite back its owner.
The sword was ineffective, but Feng Qianxue was decisive in withdrawing the move. She directly sheathed the sword and admitted her mistake: "Master Hou's understanding of the way of the sword has become more profound."
Nan Yuyan reacted and quickly stopped in front of Zuo Zhongming and glared at him: "What are you doing..."
"It doesn't matter."
Zuo Chongming patted her head and said calmly: "You have no murderous intention towards me, your will is not strong, and your sword power is frustrated. There is no point in testing like this."
Feng Qianxue said excitedly: "Perhaps, I should enter a state of selflessness and deeply understand your sword domain..."
"You can't understand it, you can't learn it."
Zuo Chongming said casually: "The way of this prince is not the realm of swordsmanship and the way of swordsmanship as you understand it. If you force yourself to understand it, you will just fail to draw a tiger and you will go astray."
Now, everyone thinks that what he understands is the Sword Domain, but in fact this is not accurate.
For Zuo Chongming, the sword is a weapon used for fighting. If the situation permits, he would not mind changing it to a sword, knife, gun, hammer...
The so-called sword realm is just because the Dugu Nine Swords are now at the highest level, so the aura of the sword is easier to perceive, thus misleading people.
Nanyu pursed his lips and said softly: "Marquis Zuo, I want to ask you something."
Zuo Chongming raised his eyes: "Your brother asked you to ask, right? He wants to know why I recommended him as the crown prince at the court meeting."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present except Feng Qianxue, who was a tough guy, couldn't help but pricked up their ears.
Zuo Chongming said: "Because the Thirteenth Prince is more friendly to me than the other princes, I naturally recommend him."
Hearing this, Nan Yu couldn't help but look suspicious: "Is that just that?"
