"Thank you..."
For a moment, Kou Ji thought a lot in his mind, but he didn't dare to pull Chen Lin to elaborate.
He arched his hand to Chen Lin, thanked him, and hurriedly left the palace.
When she returned to the mansion, Yue'er had already climbed onto the branch.
He did not breathe every now and then. Instead, he entered the study, lit the candle, closed the study door, took out a piece of paper, and started to draw a brush.
Liu E...
Guo Huai...
Wang Qinruo...
Zhao Yuanyan...
Cao used...
Equipment Supervisor...
Will be the supervisor...
Shaofu Supervisor...
…
A personal name, and the name of each yamen, quietly appeared on the paper.
After Kou Ji finished writing, staring at the net-like names of people and yamen on the paper, he was frightened.
Chen Lin told Kou Ji that two of the equipment supervisor had gone to the Eight Princes' Mansion.
Obviously it was a simple news, but Kou Ji thought of a lot in an instant.
Secretly, the equipment supervisor is under the control of Chen Lin, but on the surface, the equipment supervisor is under the control of Liu E.
Chen Lin, as the back control of the equipment supervisor, told Kou Ji that the equipment supervisor had gone to the Eight Princes' Mansion, which meant that the equipment supervisor went to the Eighth Prince's Mansion not by him.
If the person from the equipment supervisor to the Eight Princes' Mansion was appointed by Chen Lin, then Chen Lin would not tell Kou Ji.
Then, the answer is obvious.
The equipment supervisor was appointed by Liu E to go to the Palace of Eight Kings.
Who is the person in the equipment supervisor
That is the master of Ouchi.
In addition to protecting the important officials of the imperial court, he also shouldered the heavy responsibility of assassination.
Kou Ji didn't think that the person Liu E appointed the equipment supervisor was to protect Zhao Yuanyan.
Then, when the equipment supervisor went to Zhao Yuanyan's mansion, he must have assassinated Zhao Yuanyan.
Liu E dared to assassinate a noble prince at the expense of the world, which shows that Zhao Yuanyan's secret plan has been known to Liu E.
Liu E knew that Zhao Yuanyan was going to usurp the throne.
But Liu E didn't openly expose Zhao Yuanyan, instead sent someone to assassinate him.
That means Liu E wanted to use Zhao Yuanyan to usurp the throne and plan something.
With Liu E's current status, status, and situation, there is only one thing left for her to bother to plan.
Come back to the court.
And Liu E wants to return to the court, the biggest stumbling block is...
"I... and my grandfather..."
Kou Ji dropped the pen and lay steadily on the seat, staring deeply at the paper on the table, and said quietly.
Kou Ji stared at the paper, Wang Qinruo, Guo Huai, and Cao used the names of the three and whispered in a low voice: "What role do you three play in it? Guo Huai forced Cao to use it, which is part of Liu E's plan. Ring, or is it deliberately acted for others
Wang Qinruo seems to have taken refuge in Zhao Yuanyan, but he refuses to make great efforts to help Zhao Yuanyan draw in useful personnel. Could it be that he has an association with Liu E? "
Kou Ji's eyes focused on Wang Qinruo's name, "According to your eyes, it should be easy to see that Zhao Yuanyan is difficult to do. According to your temperament, it is reasonable to find another backer in advance.
You have secretly taken refuge in Liu E...
So, your unwillingness to help Zhao Yuanyan makes sense. "
Kou Ji moved his gaze away from Wang Qinruo's name, and fell on the names of Jiang Zuo Jian and Shao Fu Jian, and said quietly: "Then, Jiang Zuo Jian and Shao Fu Jian, you should have thrown them along the water.
The purpose is to... arouse the hostility of the Manchu civil and military forces towards my grandfather..."
Kou Ji's eyes fell on Guo Huai and Cao's use of the names again, "Then what role do they two play again?"
Kou Ji stared at the names Guo Huai and Cao used and thought for a long time.
Then he looked at the name of the eighth king Zhao Yuanyan.
Kou Ji groaned: "Throwing out the generals and the young mansion prisoners, I took my grandfather to the bait, thereby arousing the hostility of the Manchu civil and military forces to my grandfather. It is inevitable.
With the crime of my grandfather's oversight, coupled with the hostility of the Manchu civil and military forces, it was easy to force my grandfather to beg for the bones.
But what role did Guo Huai and Cao use play in it? "
Kou Ji asked, "Could it be that Guo Huai did it behind the scenes, and it has nothing to do with Liu E?"
Kou Ji slowly shook his head.
"The thing that Guo Huai forced Cao to take advantage of, even me, an outsider, knew about it. I don't believe Liu E didn't know. Liu E obviously knew that Guo Huai was forcing Cao to take advantage of it, but he didn't stop it.
But once Guo Huai forced Cao to commit suicide with grief and anger, Liu E should be the one who had the most trouble.
At that time, it aroused the anger of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Liu E was afraid that all the plans would be ruined. Everyone in the court would guard her in the future, so she would not want to return to the court.
Liu E would never take the trouble to herself so stupidly.
Then, Guo Huai's forcing Cao to take advantage is part of Liu E's plan.
But what purpose does Liu E want to achieve with this link? "
Kou Ji knocked his brows with a look of confusion.
Kou Ji couldn't think of what purpose Liu E would use Guo Huai to force Cao to take advantage of.
He didn't know that Liu E planned to cause trouble.
I don't know the timing issue that Guo Huai forced Cao to use in the plan Xia Yu explained to Liu E.
Kou Ji frowned and thought for a long time, and said with a strange expression: "Could Liu E still have a way to force Guo Huai to death and Cao's use of things and plant it on others?"
"Can she blindfold the eyes of the Manchu Civil and Martial Arts, so that the Manchu Civil Martial Arts will not be able to plant him?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said something mockingly.
Among the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty, there were those who were utilitarian, those who liked to drill camp, and those who saw the wind, but there were also many ministers who were upright.
Guo Huai forced Cao to take advantage of his death, which has already touched the bottom line of Manchu civil and military affairs.
How could the Manchu civil and military easily obey Liu E's planting.
Some upright ministers, who would hesitate to die, would force the court to investigate the matter to the end.
Kou Ji hid in the study for a whole night, but didn't think of any clues.
It's four hours later.
He fell asleep groggyly on the desk in the study.
Kou Ji just relied on Chen Lin's words and what he had observed in recent times to infer Liu E's plan seven or eighty-eight.
however.
Liu E in the deep palace.
Don't know at all.
A traitor appeared in her most trusted equipment prison.
The traitor's authority in the equipment prison is not lost to her.
As soon as she gave an order to the equipment supervisor, the traitor told Kou Ji the order.
But Kou Ji understood her plan very well through the words of the traitor.
The palace is a place where many secrets are buried.
It is also the most secret place.
…
Kou Ji lay in the study for two hours.
After daybreak, Kou Ji immediately sent someone to Liu Mansion and invited Liu Heng.
After Liu Heng arrived at the Kou Mansion, he was taken to the study by Kou Zhong.
Liu Heng saw Kou Ji staring at the two panda eyes, staring at himself, and said in a little astonishment: "Fourth brother, you didn't sleep last night?"
Kou Ji yawned, "Can't sleep..."
Liu Heng sat next to Kou Ji and asked, "Why?"
Kou Ji sighed and ordered Kou Zhong to prepare some breakfast. After Kou Zhong had left, he said to Liu Heng: "Some people want to harm me..."
Liu Heng immediately stared his eyes, "Which Diaomin is so bold and dare to hit our brother's attention in Bianjing. Just say a name, and I will send someone to arrest him in the Imperial City Department and let him see. Seeing, the dungeon in the Imperial City Division is several layers deep."
"Wang Qinruo!"
"bass!"
Liu Heng stood up abruptly, and said in amazement, "The old man from the official department Shangshu?"
Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully.
Liu Heng sat back in the chair sullenly, and said nonchalantly: "That old guy's status is not low, it's not easy to deal with."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "I didn't let you deal with him, I just want you to send some people to stare at him."
Liu Heng wondered: "I have sent someone to stare at him?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "Not enough... I not only want to know his movements in Bianjing, but I also want to know his movements after entering the palace."
Although Kou Ji had guessed Liu E's plan at odds and ends.
But that was only his guess.
Speculation does not represent facts to a certain extent.
So Kou Ji must confirm his guess as soon as possible.
Liu Heng heard this, a little embarrassed, "Fourth brother, it's not easy to reach into the palace. If you want to spy on the news in the palace, you can only start with the eunuchs.
I know a few eunuchs who sell news from the palace, but they have to spend some money. "
Kou Ji pondered: "Is it secret?"
Liu Heng shook his head and said, "It's hard to tell... You don't know that those eggless things are the people who can't keep secrets the most. As long as someone gives money, they dare to say anything."
Kou Ji said solemnly: "Our spying on news must be kept secret."
Liu Heng frowned and said, "That won't be easy..."
Kou Ji thought about it for a while and said to Liu Heng, "Well, then... You send people to pay close attention to the movements of Wang Qinruo, Guo Huai, and Cao using the three people outside the palace, and I will spy on the movements in the palace."
In response, Liu Heng nodded decisively, "I will send more people to stare at the three of them."
The two finished talking.
Kou Zhong brought breakfast, and after a brief meal, the two parted ways.
Kou Ji reappeared in the palace under the pretext of helping Zhao Zhen prepare for the wedding.
The officials who accompanied the Ministry of Rites spent most of the day in the palace.
Kou Ji took the initiative to find Chen Lin.
When Kou Ji found Chen Lin, Chen Lin was holding Whisk and dozing off under a large pillar outside the Shishi Hall.
Kou Ji just got a foot away from Chen Lin, and Chen Lin suddenly opened his eyes.
"Kou Industry Department..."
"Gong Gong Chen..."
The two called each other.
Chen Lin stared at Kou Ji and said quietly, "The Kou Engineering Department is looking for our house?"
Kou Ji nodded without hesitation.
Chen Lin said faintly: "Our family is here to wait and serve the officials."
Kou Ji glanced at the Shishitang behind him and said, "There are dozens of Gong E and eunuchs in Shishitang who are in charge of serving the officials. It doesn't matter if you leave for a while."
Chen Lin said indifferently: "Officials are still used to ours."
Kou Ji was silent for a moment, and said in a light and fluttering voice: "What if it matters to officials?"
Chen Lin's eyes widened for an instant, and her face grimly said: "Our family knows... Our family knows that there is nothing good for you to find our family.
Kou Ji didn't seem to see Chen Lin's hideous expression.
Zhao Zhen is Chen Lin's weakness.
As long as Kou Ji talked about Zhao Zhen, Chen Lin had to submit even if she was furious.
"Find a place where you can talk."
"Go to Zichen Temple..."
Chen Lin gritted her teeth and said.
Kou Ji nodded in satisfaction, carrying his hands on his back, and strode to the Zichen Temple in a stride.
Chen Lin followed behind Kou Ji, no matter how she felt that Kou Ji was arrogant, her silver teeth gritted and rattled, and she wished to use the poison in her arms to poison Kou Ji to death.
Arrived at Zichen Temple.
Kou Ji took the lead to step into the hall.
After Chen Lin entered the hall, she closed the door of the hall.
Only two candles were lit in the main hall, illuminating a place, and the rest of the place was groggy.
Chen Lin's eyes, under the light of the candle, flickered like two ghost fires, "If you dare to play with our house, we want you to look good."
Kou Ji looked at Chen Lin with a solemn expression: "I'm afraid that the official status will be lost."
Chen Lin stared blankly, jumped her feet, and exclaimed: "Nonsense, you are scaring our family! The official position is as stable as Mount Tai!"
Kou Ji sneered and said: "If the official position is really as stable as Mount Tai, you won't be admonishment several times and let the official guard me."
Chen Lin stared straight at Kou Ji, glared, and took a step forward. With her dry hands, she clutched the whisk in her hands, and shouted, "You want to rebel?!"
Kou Ji curled his lips in disdain, "I want to rebel, will I tell you?"
Chen Lin said with a grim face, "That's not true. Maybe you want to win over our family and let our family help you do something wrong."
Kou Ji glared at Chen Lin, and said angrily: "Do you think everyone is plotting against the officials?"
Chen Lin said coldly, "Isn't it?"
Kou Ji opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly realized that he was arguing with Chen Lin on this issue, which was of no use at all.
Immediately.
Kou Ji stared, "Do you still remember what you told me yesterday?"
Chen Lin said viciously: "Naturally our family remembers that we shouldn't talk too much and tell you the news of the equipment supervisor."
Kou Ji hummed: "Fortunately, you told me, otherwise you will not know how you and the official died at that time."
Chen Lin stared at Kou Ji coldly, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Kou Ji asked back: "You didn't check it, didn't ask, did the Queen Mother send the equipment supervisor to the Eight Princes' Mansion for anything?"
Chen Lin disdainfully said: "What you can do is to let people watch the Eighth Prince."
"You are so naive..."
Kou Ji sneered, and said: "The Queen Mother has not only the equipment supervisor, but also the Imperial City Department. In terms of monitoring people, the Imperial City Department is better than the equipment supervisor. Why does the Queen Mother leave the Imperial City Department without it, but choose the equipment. Where's the supervisor?"
Chen Lin frowned subconsciously, and said in a low voice: "Perhaps the people from the Imperial City Division can't bear to reuse it."
Kou Ji said a little funny: "It's interesting to lie to yourself? You have already guessed it, why don't you tell me."
