"There is no winner in a relationship. In the end, the person who falls in love will only be scarred." Xia Shang whispered, feeling that the words were a little disgusting and disgusting, but he still said it. After all, he had never been in love before
This woman had said some gentle words in front of her, but she always argued with her every time they met, which made her feel a little more guilty.
"You are right, there will be no winner, but I hope that no matter what happens in the future, you and I will not hate each other because of love."
"Did you arrange something to embarrass me? And then use these words to vaccinate me first?"
The somewhat ambiguous atmosphere was completely broken by Xia Shang's words. The queen glared at him gently and pushed his face away.
"I am a scheming woman, right?"
Xia Shang smiled in embarrassment, not wanting to say any more innocuous words to this woman.
"Emperor..."
"What emperor? I told you there is no one here, don't you know my name?"
"Qin Zheng, you didn't come here just to say something like this, right?"
Qin Zheng covered her face with the black robe again and hid herself in the black robe: "I am here to reassure you. I will try my best to suppress your future treatment. Those in the court also know it in their hearts.
, no one will stalk you, I’m just afraid that they want you to stay here for a longer time. There is also the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there will be many people recommended to take over the top seat, I will
Let Chunjiao handle it well."
After saying that, Qin Zheng also left the dungeon.
After Qin Zheng left, Xia Shang told Wang Qinghai not to let unimportant people harass him.
I don’t know if Wang Qinghai stopped anyone. In short, no one came to visit the prison after Qin Zheng left.
It was finally quiet around Xia Shang, and he rested peacefully in the dungeon.
In the meantime, people from the Criminal Department helped Xia Shang clean up his cell and add beds, tables, and chairs.
Every day's meals are delivered from the best restaurants in the capital, and no one is the same.
Rather than being in jail, this is clearly a vacation.
On the third day, Li Zijin came again and brought Xia Shang a lot of food and drink.
"Sir, have you thought about it?"
"Thinked about it."
Li Zijin looked happy: "What's the result?"
"I would rather help you..."
"Great!" Xia Shang was interrupted excitedly by Li Zijin before he could finish his words.
"But there are many difficulties along the way. If you make a mistake, you will lose your life. Are you mentally prepared enough?"
"Sir, don't worry. Now that the student has taken this step, he has already become unafraid of death. For the sake of the world, what does it matter even if his body is broken to pieces?"
Xia Shang nodded, took out the wine from the lunch box Li Zijin brought, and drank by himself.
Li Zijin was a little excited. He stared at Mr. for a while and couldn't help but asked: "Sir, what should we do now?"
Xia Shang thought for a while: "You can't be too showy. Now that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is no longer in my control, the power I can use is very small. Besides, I'm still in prison. It's not a good time to cause trouble.
.”
"I understand that!"
"What we have to do now is investigate the cause of your eldest brother's death."
Li Zijin was stunned: "Investigating the cause of my eldest brother's death? This..."
Obviously, Li Zijin didn't know much about this matter.
Xia Shang solemnly said: "Li Xin's death is very strange. He was definitely not killed by Japanese pirates as is said at the moment?"
"What?!" Li Zijin was shocked, "Big brother's death..."
Li Zijin was too excited and his voice became louder. Xia Shang hurriedly made him a silent gesture.
Li Zijin paused for a moment and stopped talking.
"I found some poison developed by me on the prince's clothes. This poison seems to be controlled by someone in Kyoto. I went back to the capital in hiding this time to investigate the matter. Originally, I just wanted to find out this.
The truth of the matter is that I suspect that someone in the court colluded with the Japanese pirates. If my accusation is true, then I can never watch a person who colludes with foreigners take control of the court. But now that you said you want to be the emperor, then I
This is just the right opportunity to win over you."
"Sir, please elaborate."
"Today, Prince Li Xin's people are scattered all over the world. Most of them have defected to other forces in the capital. There are still a small number of people who have gathered together and are doing the same thing as us. Although your eldest brother is arrogant and cruel, but
He governs well, and most of his followers are loyal to him. If you can help them find out the truth, some of them will definitely come to you. You are now
Without any foundation, this part of the people who end up with Li Xin is the first step to your fortune."
Li Zijin's blood boiled when he heard this, and he kept rubbing his hands: "So, the student just caught up with the opportunity?"
"You could say that."
"Then where should students start their investigation?"
"Since I want to help you, I will definitely not ask you to do too many things. This matter will have results soon. You only need to go to Lin Yongshi, the chief scholar of the Hanlin Academy. He has the roster of the Hanlin Academy. Among them
There is a great possibility that a person named Xiao Yao will appear, and then go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to find the Chief of Baili Division and ask him to help you find Xiao Yao. Torture him and interrogate him to see if he knows what happened to the prince. Even if
He doesn’t know, but he can keep following this line and he won’t be far from the real image.”
After listening to what Xia Shang said, Li Zijin felt that there was no difficulty in the matter: "Sir, has everything been arranged already?"
"This is what I came back to the capital for. The reason why I took action that night was to target the Imperial Academy, not to disgust the second prince, but because I wanted to know the list of people in the Imperial Academy. There is a high probability that the person named Xiao Yao has taken refuge with the second prince.
As long as someone has taken refuge with the Second Prince, there must be a record in the Hanlin Academy. That Lin Yongshi has been forced to take refuge with me, you only need to say that I asked you to come to him, and he will naturally help you."
"Then student, go and do it now!"
"Remember, when there is no one you can trust, do everything yourself as much as possible, and learn to hide yourself at the same time. I can't teach you these, you can figure it out yourself. Also, even if you know the truth and have conclusive evidence, you can't
Don’t use this as a bargaining chip against the real culprit behind the scenes.”
"Don't you want to avenge your eldest brother?"
"The person is already dead, what's the use of revenge? I want to know the result just to understand the faces of those dark characters in the capital. Only by understanding the enemy can we take precautions. And you, now you have a new purpose, you can use this result to
Gather people's hearts and make those who are loyal to Li Xin loyal to you."
Li Zijin nodded solemnly: "Student understands!"
After saying that, Li Zijin left.
Seeing Li Zijin leave again, Xia Shang was still a little worried.
Although this matter has come to an end, what Li Zijin did was just his finishing work.
It seems extremely simple, but I don't rule out what might happen in the end. I wonder if this kid can handle it?
