The June weather in Lin'an is already hot, and even at night, the coolness in the breeze seems extremely luxurious.

In the back garden of Ye Mansion in Zhonghe Lane, Zhong Qing, who had been traveling around for a day from Gushan, was wearing a white straight-collar single-breasted skirt, which made her look elegant and quiet under the night, and gave people a stunning feeling.

Sitting down next to Ye Qing, looking at the empty tea cup, and then pouring tea virtuously, then looking at Ye Qing with her unique intellectual and gentle smile.

What happened today in Yipinlou. When she was just coaxing Zhong Ye to sleep, Fangfei had already learned everything to her. So at this moment, looking at Ye Qing who was thinking about things, Zhong Qing just sat quietly by her side.

From time to time, insects are heard not far away from the back garden. Although it is not relieved of the heat, it sounds quite relaxing in the quiet night.

Ye Qing, who came to his senses, looked at Zhong Qing next to him, picked up the teacup and took a sip, put it down and said, "What's wrong with the Supreme Emperor summoning you to the palace?"

With a gentle smile, he gently stroked Ye Qing's gray temples and said lightly: "The Supreme Emperor is still very nervous about your return to Lin'an, even if that's what he wants. So today, in the name of the Empress Dowager, I want to know what you are doing in the past few days after returning to Lin'an and who you have met."

"Yes?" Ye Qing keenly grabbed the words in Zhong Qing's words, letting Zhong Qing continue to stroke his hair, and asked, "Who else besides the Supreme Emperor?"

"Of course there is the queen who is not clear to you. In the past few days, you have never taken a step out of the mansion. Obviously, the one in the palace is a little anxious." Zhong Qing's tone was somewhat jealous, but it was a fact. All she could do was to stay by Ye Qing's side and never be separated.

"The Supreme Emperor is too anxious. With the current ability of the court, it is impossible to deal with two people at the same time..." Ye Qing sighed slightly and said.

"You mean what happened in the First Pin Building today?" Zhong Qing asked, and then continued without waiting for Ye Qing to speak, "Han Tuozhou naturally did not dare to take revenge on the Supreme Emperor, but he wanted to get back what originally belonged to him, so he started from Xie Shenfu. Isn't this a contradiction to the Supreme Emperor now for you?"

"That's right, the two sides of the two sides of Zhejiang, the Zhaoqing army led by Cao Beihai, and the Sui'an army led by Li Yu can arrive in Lin'an within half a day. So in order to mobilize these two sides of the army, he did not hesitate to remove Han Tuozhou's power in the two sides of the army. He thought Han Tuozhou would not retaliate, but Han Tuozhou was the left prime minister after all, so he still wanted the face, otherwise, how could he explain to his fellow disciples?" Ye Qing said with a sigh.

Zhong Qing was a little dazed. Zhaoqing's army and Sui'an's army were secretly allocated before Ye Qing returned to Lin'an, and the purpose of the two armies was to come for Ye Qing.

"So you think..." Zhong Qing looked at Ye Qing's expression. There was still a tacit understanding between the two over the years. Although they dare not say that they had a complete understanding, they could at least understand each other's psychology and thoughts clearly: "What do you mean is that the Supreme Emperor has long had the idea of ​​letting Liu Zheng and Xie Shenfu be a scapegoat? He knew that Han Tuozhou would take revenge, but in order to... curb you, would rather sacrifice loyalty to the court and the royal family, and not to join other parties?"

Zhong Qing was a little surprised because she had never guessed this, and through the every move of the Supreme Emperor, she did not see at all that she wanted to sacrifice Liu Zheng, Xie Shenfu and others.

Even at this moment, Zhong Qing was a little suspicious. The reason why Ye Qing said this was entirely to win over Xie Shenfu and Liu Zheng, so that he could understand the meaning of the Supreme Emperor in this way.

"When do you think the Supreme Emperor has had the courage to be decisive in his life? If the Zhao Song royal family really had such a big opening and closing, and the courage and mind to move forward bravely, they would not have been in peace with Jiangnan. So in my opinion, he did not have the courage to deal with me and Han Tuozhou at the same time. The reason for doing this was to be alone. Han Tuozhou's revenge for the court and Xie Shenfu and Liu Zheng was obviously within his expectations, and even..." Ye Qing looked up at the starry sky, recalling the scene that happened in Yipinlou today, and then murmured: "I even suspect that Han Tuozhou and the Supreme Emperor were tacit, otherwise, Deng Youlong, the Minister of Justice, would be too brave."

Zhong Qing glanced at Ye Qing and said, "You still hate others for being rude to you today, which scared Zhong Ye to cry."

Ye Qing reached out and pinched Zhong Qing's cheeks that were as delicate as a girl, and smiled and said, "Liu is the right prime minister of the current dynasty, Xie Shenfu is here."

An Anfu, whose eldest son is the magistrate of Jiaxing Prefecture and the second son is the magistrate of Shaoxing Prefecture. No matter what, a minister of the Ministry of Justice could not show any fear when facing these two people. But today Deng Youlong did it in the first-party building, and Deng Youlong did it at all, and Deng Youlong did it at all, and his father and son of Liu Zheng were not taken seriously by Liu Zheng and Xie. The reason why Deng Youlong had such confidence was obviously not entirely because Han Tuozhou supported him and had another layer of courage, which made him so unscrupulous. Moreover... After knowing my identity, he was too weak. Although it was normal for him to have different attitudes when facing Liu Zheng and Xie Shenfu, it would be an abnormal move."

Ye Qing was almost careful in analyzing what happened in Yipinlou today. When Deng Youlong knew his identity, his fear and even horror were beyond his expectations, but after returning to the mansion, the more Ye Qing thought about it, the more unusual it felt.

Deng Youlong was afraid that he was right, but being a dignified official in the court and afraid that he would be afraid of getting to that point is enough to show that the things behind him are not as simple as he saw.

It is precisely because of this that after returning to Lin'an, he did not intend to meet Han Tuozhou again, and when he left the First Pin Tower, he left the words to Deng Youlong and passed them to Han Tuozhou.

"How many officials in Lin'an City are not afraid of you?" Zhong Qing stretched out her fist in front of Ye Qing, and raised two fingers in counting and representing Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou. Then she shook her head at Ye Qing and said, "One hand has been counted."

Ignoring Zhong Qing's disapproval, he patted Zhong Qing's thigh like punishment, causing the beauty to turn her eyes off, and then smiled and said, "Of course, this is just a guess, but there is also the worst case."

"What's the situation?" Zhong Qing, who wanted to take revenge on Ye Qing and pinch back to pat her thigh, saw that Ye Qing's expression finally became serious, so she also asked seriously.

Ye Qing took a deep breath and said slowly: "In the Book of Rites, Qu Li, once said: The king died of the country, the doctor died of the people, and the soldiers died of the system. The king should die to protect the country, and the doctor died of battle to protect the country, and the scholars should die in battle to protect the country, and the scholars should be the system of laws and regulations, and the family and country responsibilities. Liu Zheng, Xie Shenfu was obviously the scholar, so they chose to serve the country with death to eliminate me, the so-called hero in the north, and to pull me and die with them."

Zhong Qing was shocked by Ye Qing's guess and her face turned pale. She couldn't imagine that if Ye Qing's guess was really the fact. If the Supreme Emperor planned to get rid of Ye Qing's conspiracy, then wouldn't Ye Qing be trapped in a death trap again? Shouldn't he really go back to Lin'an with a risk?

"Impossible!" Zhong Qing grabbed Ye Qing's hand and shook her head nervously, "Or...or you would leave Lin'an now..."

"How can you turn back when you open the bow? I'm afraid you can't go back to the north now." Ye Qing stroked Zhong Qing's face and comforted him: "Now these are just my guesses. As for whether this was planned by the Supreme Emperor, and whether Xie Shenfu and Liu Zheng really have the loyalty to serve the country with death, it is still impossible to confirm. However, there is nothing wrong with the worst plan in everything."

Zhong Qing really didn't dare to follow Ye Qing's guess and continued to think about it. She shook her head with some difficulty in accepting it and called it impossible, because if this was the case, it would be equivalent to that she had been being used by the Supreme Emperor.

After all, she told the Emperor about Ye Qing's construction of the Protectorate in the North as a secret, which forced the Emperor to compromise on Ye Qing's matter about the opening of the North when meeting the Emperor on the New Year.

"It's so scary..." Zhong Qing shook her head in disbelief. Although she tried her best not to follow Ye Qing's guess just now, her mind still kept flashing. If she followed Ye Qing's guess, the consequences would be so unacceptable.

It can be imagined that if all this is true, then if Liu Zheng, Xie Shenfu and other officials die with Ye Qing under the plan of the Supreme Emperor, then the Supreme Emperor will definitely focus on Han Tuozhou. After all, Liu Zheng, Xie Shenfu and others were retaliated because of Han Tuozhou's instructions.

Once Ye Qing is gone, the Supreme Emperor can take advantage of the death of Liu Zheng and others, which is the excuse of Han Tuozhou's revenge and die, and take the opportunity to get rid of Han Tuozhou. In this way, in addition to the royal family being able to benefit, it is necessary to always be able to take advantage of the power to take advantage of the situation outside the struggle. Shi Miyuan, who is like an oriole, is the most profitable.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. I have ordered Mo Xiaobao to secretly go north to Zhenjiang and inquire about Han Tuozhou's army deployment there again. Whether there has been any change when I returned to Lin'an with me.

Movement. If there is any change, then it will be the worst result. If there is no change, it means I am thinking too much." Looking at Zhong Qing, who is still nervous, Ye Qing looked at her with comforting eyes and said, "Don't worry, things are not as serious as imagined. Zhong Can went to the Imperial City Division. Just look at Liu Zheng and Xie Shenfu's movements in the past few days, you can basically know whether the Supreme Emperor has such deep cunning and means."

"I hope no, if there is really such a deep cunning, then I will always be..." Zhong Qing felt very regretful now. If she knew that this would happen, she would rather die than stop Ye Qing from returning to Lin'an.

Fangfei hurried to the back garden, looked at Zhong Qing's inquiry and sad eyes, glanced at Ye Qing for some unknown reason, and then said, "Ye Zi has already fallen asleep, and there is a maid guarding him. Zhong Can is in the front yard and said that there is something important to report to the master."

He let go of Zhong Qing's hand, then gently patted his cheek, signaling Fangfei and Zhong Qing to go back to the room to rest, and then walked towards the front yard.

In front of the rockery in the front yard, Zhong Can was paced back and forth anxiously, and even when Ye Qing was about to walk up, he never noticed it.

"What did you find out?" Ye Qing pointed to the pavilion beside the rockery. Under the dim light, Zhong Can followed Ye Qing.

"In today's First Pin Building, after we left, Deng Youlong, the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, finally took away Xie Shenfu's eldest son Xie Qubo, and the Lin'an General Judge Chen Fuliang, who are now locked up in the boss of the Ministry of Justice." Zhong Can reported to Ye Qing.

"Is there any news about Dali Temple? I don't know about this when Bi Zaihui?" Ye Qing asked with a frown.

"I'm afraid you're anxious in the mansion, so I didn't go to Dali Temple to inquire. But in my opinion, if this was Han Tuozhou's revenge, it was against Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang's desire to infringe on him, Dali Temple would probably not know. The Ministry of Justice will not allow Dali Temple to participate at this time, unless Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang confessed their guilt, or if they found some conclusive evidence that it was difficult for the two to refute. If they proved themselves, they would hand it over to Dali Temple." Zhong Can followed Ye Qing and slowly moved forward and said, "Do you want me to inform Lord Li first? See what he knows?"

The Lord Li mentioned by Zhong Can naturally refer to Li Lifang, the Minister of Justice. Regardless of whether this matter was instructed by Han Tuozhou alone, since he was in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Li Lifang, the Minister of Justice, should have known about this matter, unless Li Lifang was too lazy to ask about it. Just like when he was in the Ministry of Works, all the things were handed over to Xie Shenfu, the Minister of Works at that time, to deal with it. He himself was idle every day, just to hear people calling him Li Shangshu, and he felt very accomplished.

Ye Qing shook his head and said slowly: "Li Lifang should come to me in the next two days, and Han Tuozhou is the same. As for where Bi Zai meets, even if he wants to go, he still needs to be careful. It is not advisable to disclose his relationship with us for the time being. The Ministry of War is the same. Therefore, in the next few days, you should be extra careful when meeting Bi Zai and Qian Xiangzu."

Zhong Can was somewhat dissatisfied. He could also see clearly the scene in Yipinlou today. Deng Youlong, the dignified Minister of Justice, felt extremely comfortable and even a little proud after Ye Qing revealed his identity.

In Zhong Can's opinion, with Ye Qing's power and prestige, there is no need to be afraid of anyone in Lin'an, nor should everything be as cautious as before.

However, Ye Qing's words immediately made him put away his contempt: "Now, the Supreme Emperor and Han Tuozhou have all acted impatiently after I returned to Lin'an. Regardless of whether the Supreme Emperor and Han Tuozhou were tacit. But after I returned to Lin'an, Han Tuozhou immediately rushed to Liu Zheng and Xie Shenfu took revenge. It seemed that he wanted to take advantage of the Supreme Emperor's attention on me and take the opportunity to take advantage of the Supreme Emperor's attention. But until now, Shi Miyuan has been silent, so we have to beware of him. Once we show our strength, I am afraid that Shi Miyuan, who has been hiding in the dark, will be caught in the instant."

Zhong Can put away the relaxed look he had just now, nodded behind Ye Qing with a serious expression, and said seriously: "Yes, sir, I understand, I will definitely be careful."

"If there is nothing to do tomorrow, go to the camp. In short, both inside and outside have to take into account. You cannot relax your vigilance. Instead, let others take advantage of the loopholes in the camp outside." Ye Qing ordered very carefully, and Zhong Can also listened very seriously.
