Chapter 103: Chen Lin can't hide words

Views:

After the pawn shop's affairs were handed over to Zhang Cheng, Kou Ji was still worried.

Only after Liu Mei lifted Liu Heng's ban, he explained to Liu Heng that he didn't need to bother about the pawn shop.

Kou Jiwan refused Zhang Cheng's invitation to drink, and rushed to the house with the sedan chair.

On the way back to the mansion, Kou Ji never encountered an assassination again.

I don’t know if Zhang Lun’s accountability inspection department worked, or the assassins discovered Yuyou’s identity, so they didn’t act rashly.

At the gate of the mansion, I was a little surprised to see Kou Ji returning to the mansion.

It stands to reason that Kou Ji reported to the Criminal Division on the first day and should not have come back so early.

But he didn't dare to ask more.

Welcome Kou Ji into the mansion.

When bypassing the shadow wall, the door reminded Kou Ji in a low voice, "Master is back, stay alone in the main hall, no one is allowed in. Young master, you should go and see..."

Kou Ji was slightly stunned and nodded.

At the entrance of the main hall, Kou Ji saw the main hall door open, and Kou Zhong and his party stayed outside, bowed and waited.

Kou Zhong saw Kou Ji, and after the ceremony, he cautiously said: "Master ordered, no one is allowed to disturb..."

Kou Ji frowned and said in a low voice: "How long has grandfather been back?"

Kou Zhong whispered: "It's been more than an hour."

Kou Ji frowned and asked, "Didn't you talk about the palace?"

Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I'll go in and see..."

Kou Ji said casually, and walked into the main hall.

Kou Zhong wanted to stop him, but Kou Ji glared at him and stood obediently.

Kou Jimai stepped into the main hall and saw Kou Zhun sitting alone at the table in the hall, pouring and drinking.

He half raised his head, looking at the pillar beside him, his eyes a little lost.

Kou Ji did not find hot water or a small stove for boiling wine on the table.

Kou Ji frowned and walked forward, grabbing the wine glass in Kou Zhun's hand, and sighed: "Grandfather, drinking cold wine hurts..."

Most of the wines of this era are rice wine, sweet and sour, with a little taste of wine.

It was in the middle of spring, and the weather was still a bit cold.

Yi Kou's body is nearly 60 years old and is not suitable for drinking cold wine.

Kou Zhun was robbed of the wine glass and slowly recovered. He did not blame Kou Ji, but whispered: "You were assassinated?"

Kou Ji nodded, "I met, both times, it was all done by Taoists."

After saying this, he told Kou Zhong outside the door, "Go find a small stove and let the kitchen prepare some dishes. I will have a good chat with my grandfather."

Kou Zhong agreed at the door and hurriedly ordered people to prepare.

When Kou Zhun heard the words, there was a hint of warmth in his heart.

His children and grandchildren are around his knees, caring for him and taking care of him, which is what he expects in his heart.

It's a pity that I've been asking for it but couldn't.

Now Kou Ji showed concern for him, which made his heart warm.

He stared at Kou Ji and sighed: "Although the old man is in a position and a high position, he can't mobilize the power of the government to help you seek justice with Taoism.

Once the old man speaks, the entire Taoist school is likely to be unlucky.

Those Taoists who assassinated the imperial court officials for the sake of harm to the people can move, but Taoists cannot.

If you move the Tao, the Buddha will rise, and if you move the Buddha, the Tao will rise.

The two families of Buddhism and Taoism check and balance each other, which is what the imperial court wants.

I believe that you should be able to understand this truth. "

Kou Ji nodded, "Understand..."

Kou Zhun nodded with satisfaction: "But don't worry, the old man will issue documents to the various yamen, so that they can catch the murderer who assassinated you as soon as possible, eliminate the remaining assassins, and keep you safe."

Kou Ji arched his hand: "Thank you, grandfather..."

Kou Zhun laughed out of his voice: "Drink two glasses with the old man..."

Kou Ji sat opposite Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhong asked people to carry a small stove, a few pots of new wine, and a few dishes to the main hall, and then left the main hall after putting them down.

Kou Ji helped Kou Zhun cook wine, and Kou Zhun picked up his chopsticks and ate the food alone.

After a long time, the wine is cooking hot, Kou Ji pours Kou Zhun.

Seeing Kou Zhun drinking a free drink, Kou Ji asked while pouring the wine: "The queen did not embarrass you in the court today, right?"

Kou Zhun had a meal with the wine glass in his hand and glanced at Kou Ji, but did not speak.

Kou Ji was taken aback, staring at Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun sighed, "Speaking of which you might not believe it, the queen appeared in Shishitang today. Not only did she not embarrass the old man, but instead rely on the old man. The Manchu dynasty, civil and military, all complied with what he said."

Kou Ji frowned when he heard the words.

He muttered in a low voice, "It shouldn't be..."

After hesitating again and again, Kou Ji said again: "The queen is not so easy to subdue soft people..."

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji, picked up the wine glass, and drank it. "You can see how the old man can't see it. The reason why the queen depends on the old man in everything, let the old man make all his calculations, old man I know it well."

"What abacus?"

Kou Ji asked.

Kou Zhun sighed, and said: "The old man can only tell you that the queen dealt with the old man with an arrogant plan. There is no concealment or concealment. The old man knew it was an arrogant plan, so he had to drill inside.

Kou Ji smiled bitterly, "Grandfather doesn't intend to speak clearly, is he going to let me guess?"

Kou Zhun smiled, "When you see through the Queen's plot, the old man will make an exception to help you lift the official title."

Kou Ji was about to open his mouth.

Kou Zhun smiled and said again: "The old man can see that you want to help the old man. But your current official rank is too low to help the old man. The old man was worried that you would become the second Ding Wei before. Now the old man is not worried anymore. ."

Kou Ji was taken aback and asked: "Why?"

"Why?"

Kou Zhun said with a smile: "Because the old man heard Li Di said that the queen found a reason and expelled Cao Xu from the East Palace, but the prince did not waste martial arts."

Kou Ji said with a guilty conscience: "It has nothing to do with me... right..."

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji, smiling rather than smiling, "Do you think Chen Lin is really tight-lipped?"

Kou Ji opened his eyes immediately, with a worried look on his face.

Kou Zhun seemed to see Kou Ji's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Relax, Chen Lin only told the official, the official told the old man. The official asked the old man to tell you, he won't tell anyone about this. .

He also said that you are kind and righteous to the prince, and he is very relieved.

You student, he confiscated the mistake.

Just talk a little bit, remember to converge a little later.

He heard that you were going to do something, so he asked the old man to give you an oral message, so that you can do it with confidence.

He said that he would like to see what his only student can achieve in his lifetime. "

When Kou Ji heard the words, his face was expressionless and silent.

But in his heart, he was already ashamed, and he wanted to find a place to sew in.
