Chapter 53: Unexpected Visitor
Standing on the shore, watching the hazy drizzle on the water, drawing circles of ripples on the calm water.
As the sky gradually dimmed, the many paintings on the lake gradually dispersed. Standing in the pavilion, Qin Nuo stood against the railing, feeling the breeze and drizzle.
The chaos in front of us is like a lot of fog, which makes people unable to see through and touch.
Even if Jiangshan was hired, he couldn't live up to Huo Youjuan and be a disappointed person.
Just thinking about it, Lee Maru hurriedly reported that a distinguished guest came to the door and had been waiting for a long time in his palace.
When did your business become so good? Distinguished guests turn to your door.
Riding a horse back to the palace hurriedly, throwing the reins to the attendants next to him, Qin Nuo walked quickly into the main hall.
Seeing the young man sitting there quietly tasting tea, he only felt in a daze. The two had seen each other not long ago, but at this time, it seemed like a long time had passed.
Qin Ze was still handsome and noble, but it was two points more quiet than before. It is these two points of silence that make the man in front of him who was pretending to be young and old become a real maturity.
It was a kind of sapling that had been tempered by wind and rain, and finally grew into a towering tree with a sense of maturity.
Seeing Qin Nuo coming in, he got up and greeted with a smile: "Brother Nine."
Obviously, he had been sitting and waiting for an afternoon, and the boy didn't have the slightest impatience on his face. He bowed and saluted Qin Nuo.
Looking at the waist that was deeply bent. Qin Nuo was a little dazed. The two have been together for so long, and Qin Ze has never been so respectful in front of him, let alone the gentle ninety brother just now. Before letting him scream, he would have to entangle himself in every possible way.
With emotion in his heart, Qin Nuo smiled and held his hand: "Ten brother, it's rare for you to come here today, why are you so polite? I can't afford such a gift."
"Brother Nine laughed at me again." Qin Ze got up and took Qin Nuo's hand. "Brother, I have come here this time, and I have pleaded for sin."
"Where does the sin come from? I don't understand my brother." Qin Nuo opened his eyes wide. After becoming the king, his acting skills seem to have improved a lot.
"Brother Nine, don't tease my younger brother. I am sincere and sincere when I come here." Qin Ze smiled bitterly. "Before Lin Jia framed his elder brother because of his misconsideration. It really deserves death. Please also ask your elder brother. forgive."
"My brother came here this time, one is to plead for him, and the other is to explain this matter to Brother Jiu from beginning to end."
"In fact, things still have to start from Brother Seven."
Qin Nuo's mind moved slightly, and his face was still surprised, "What happened to Brother Seven again."
Qin Ze smiled and said: "In fact, Lin Jia didn't think that this case was related to Brother Jiu at the beginning. Alas, anyone in the world would be so stupid to use a new ship just bought a few days ago to traffic contraband like weapons?"
"It's just that this case is complicated and confusing, especially those behind the scenes who dare to use the ships of Brother Jiu, your dignified prince, must be a heavy minister or a power in power. So Lin Jia set up a bureau and deliberately pretended that he was missing and killed himself. Brother Nine is on your head, but you are actually forcing the people behind the scenes to surface as soon as possible. Lin Jia also knows that this plan is greatly sorry to you. Alas, if I want to know, I must not agree to his insidious plan."
"Where do you know, Brother Nine, you are vigorous and vigorous. You have found Lin Jia before the people behind the scenes can't stand it..."
Qin Ze talked about the matter, and the youth's clear voice was filled with perfect guilt and regret.
"Let Brother Nine misunderstand that it was my younger brother. I secretly instigated this. My younger brother really couldn't bear it. I was in the imperial tomb, where news was blocked and my life was lonely, but this matter was absolutely unbearable. Misunderstanding me, my brother is really hard to say."
If it were the first time to hear this complicated inside story, Qin Nuo must have been dumbfounded, but already knowing the truth of the matter from Pei Ling, Qin Nuo's reaction now is much more dull. He asked with a puzzled face, "But just now you mentioned Brother Seven. What does this matter have to do with Brother Seven?"
Qin Ze sighed, "Brother Nine, how do you determine that Lin Jia's person behind the scenes is me?"
Qin Nuo paused.
Without waiting for him to answer, Qin Ze continued: "It was Brother Seven who filed a complaint with you before, saying that Lin Jia is my disciple? Maybe he will mention my grandfather, and now he has been transferred to the criminal ministry. Qin Ze said that the criminal ministry is me. The world or something?"
"Uh..." Qin Nuo did not agree, but the expression on his face had already told Qin Ze the answer.
Qin Ze smiled bitterly: "From this I can be sure that the real culprit in this weapon smuggling case is our seventh brother. Otherwise, why should I slander my brother so much?"
"Besides, the shops and boats under your name of Brother Nine before, should have been bought by Brother Seven who introduced them? It's so easy to get involved."
"This..." Qin Nuo showed a flustered and unbelievable expression on his face, "Seven brothers have always been close to me, how could it be possible to harm me for no reason."
Qin Ze sneered: "Brother Nine, you have a gentle and pure disposition, how do you know the coldness of Brother Seven. I have lived in the imperial tomb for a long time these days, and I think more and more slowly in my days alone. I found out who among the brothers is true and who is false."
"Seven brothers are greedy and daring to earn any money. He had been with the third brother before. Most of these weapons and other items were left by the previous third brothers, and he sneaked them into the hands of them. If you leave a trace, you will take your boat."
"Brother Nine, I used to be disrespectful to you. It was because my younger brother was old and ignorant." While making peace, Qin Ze bent down again and deeply apologized, "I only hope that you will not remember the villain. Yes, forgive me, brother. Whether it's the mistake before or this time."
Qin Nuo stepped forward helplessly and helped him up again. The play is up to this point, what else can he say.
"Ten brother, the news you are talking about today about Brother Seven is too complicated. I have to check it carefully before I can believe it. As for our childhood, brothers are joking, so why mention the absurd things of our youth? ."
Qin Ze laughed: "Thank you Brother Nine, I was thinking that if you are angry, it doesn't matter if you hit me twice. I remember your fist from Brother Nine before."
"Ha, ten brother, you really have changed a lot." Qin Nuo couldn't help but said this sentence.
"Who can stay the same?" The sentence seemed to touch his heart, and Qin Ze's face was full of bitterness. "After the death of the mother and concubine, I have really seen the warmth and coldness of the world. I used to be between the father and the mother. Under the blessing of the concubine, he always felt that he was unmatched by his natural talents, but in a blink of an eye..." In the end, Qin Ze didn't say anything, he looked up at Qin Nuo.
"There is also the death of my mother and concubine. I am a son of man, but I cannot avenge my shame."
Suddenly Qin Nuo heard his heart beating like a drum, his face was full of surprise, and he asked, "Isn't it..."
"Brother Nine, do you think that the mother concubine was buried and died?" Qin Ze shook his head, his eyes flushed, "The mother concubine was murdered, and she definitely did not commit suicide by throwing herself into a lake. The Huo Family just wanted to whitewash the peace and make things qualitative. Just died for suicide."
"That..." Qin Nuo was shocked.
"The night when the father died, the mother concubine went to the main hall to see Queen Huo, and happened to meet the general Pei Ling who entered the palace in the corridor. As a result, somehow, there was a dispute and was killed by the guards around Pei Ling by mistake."
"Pei Ling?" Qin Nuo was shocked. At this moment, he really felt that his brain capacity was not enough.
"After that, Pei Ling hurriedly left the palace, I am afraid it was also because of this incident, but let him escape." Qin Ze sighed. "This matter is extremely secretive, Huo Family even wanted to keep it from me. I followed it for many days in secret before I found any clues."
"Nowadays, Pei Ling's power is overwhelming. Even if I am a prince, I have no choice but to avenge my mother and concubine one day." Qin Ze's eyes flashed a trace of coldness and suppressed crazy hatred.
In the end, everything was concealed by guilt and bitterness. He looked at Qin Nuo and said sincerely, "So I apologize deeply. I used to leave Consort Chen early, but I did not understand your difficulties at all and always bullied you. Brother Nine, I really did something wrong."
"Ten brother!" Qin Nuo was deeply moved, he took the initiative to hold Qin Ze's hand for the first time.
The dim candlelight reflected two tall and handsome figures. The brothers who used to be tit-for-tat when they were young have finally "exposed their previous suspicions."
Sending Qin Ze all the way to the gate of the palace, the two reluctantly said goodbye.
Qin Ze still hurried back to the imperial tomb at night. Guarding the imperial mausoleum is an important task. Without an edict, one cannot return to the capital without authorization, so Qin Ze came here in secret on this trip with only three or four entourages and rode lightly.
After the farewell, the group of people quickly sank into the depths of the night.
Should we send someone to sneak up and kill this kid? Watching Qin Ze disappear at the end of the street in front of the palace, Qin Nuo seriously considered this issue.
At the last moment when the brothers let go of the previous suspicion, Qin Nuo only felt his hair terrified in his heart.
If Qin Ze's confession of guilt was false, then his acting skills have definitely been perfected, and he couldn't help but be terrified.
And if this guilt is true, then it can only show that his admiration for Wise Concubine Ge is extremely sincere. Then, as a real mother-killer, he is even more dangerous!
At the meeting tonight, Qin Nuo confirmed two things.
First, up to now, Qin Ze does not know the truth about the death of Wise Concubine Ge.
Everything is arranged by Huo Family! They want to use Qin Ze to add an enemy to Pei Ling. Including killing Lu He who might have witnessed everything afterwards!
Second, he must not allow Qin Ze to ascend the throne!
I don't know the truth now, because Qin Ze has limited resources and cannot be thoroughly investigated. Once he ascends to the throne, he will surely find clues, and by then he will be unable to resist. So for the sake of his own wealth and life, he must not let Qin Ze take the lead!
If Qin Ze stays away from that position, and the one enthroned is Qin Xun...
Really wanted to be absorbed, Fang Yuan returned.
When leaving the painting boat just now, Fang Yuan noticed that someone was sneakily following them to investigate, and Qin Nuo sent him to keep up with the other party and check their heels.
"The prince, his subordinates followed that person until they reached the Prince Shu Mansion at the east end of Baohuafang, and then stopped. The person arranged by the prince Shu should be correct."
It's Qin Xun...meeting with Pei Ling has already attracted his attention!
Haha, these unconscious brothers! ! !
