Chapter 213: Something Happened to the Jiaofang Secretary!
No one can guess Zhao Wuyou's mind, this uncertain heart is always elusive.After guessing and guessing, I can't figure it out. Over time, no one dares to continue to guess.

The imperial court was still arguing about the foreign policy of war and peace, Zhao Wuyou hid quietly, never went to court, and declared to the outside world that he was sick in bed.

At night, news came out from the Jiaofang Division, saying that Jian Yan went to the Jiaofang Division again, and this time he was accompanied only by Chen Yuntian, the young son of the Minister of the Ministry of War.It seems that the two of them just came here to enjoy the romance, and there is no other meaning.

Hong Gu deliberately asked people to inform the Shang Shufu, and also taught them to keep an eye on Ya Ge, so as not to cause trouble at any time, and it would be difficult to explain to the young master.

Jian Yan didn't look different, eating and drinking with Chen Yuntian, there was a beautiful woman playing the piano by the side, the two were drinking and having fun, chatting happily.These two are now like close friends, inseparable.One is a dandy, and the other is without merit and name, so no matter where they go, no one takes them seriously.

In the eyes of the world, these two are nothing but swingers who only know about love and romance, but don't know about the sufferings of the world and the court's grievances.

When Zhao Wuyou got the news, he was only slightly delayed for a moment.In fact, she was not interested in Jian Yan's trace.She was just a little worried, worried that Jian Yan would do something she shouldn't do.

She can turn a blind eye to some things, but it doesn't mean she will choose to forgive.No one is qualified to ask others to forgive you magnanimously and tolerantly after you make a big mistake.

"What are you worried about, Young Master?" Su Xi naturally saw that Zhao Wuyou had something on his mind, and it was related to Jian Yan.

Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, "I'm just worried that some things will happen to Jian Yan. Su Xi, I didn't expect that in the end, I would really kill him with my own hands. In this gray and white life, Jian Yan is the number one in my life. Color it."

Su Xi pursed her lips, "I understand!"

In his heart, he was vaguely uneasy, and Zhao Wuyou didn't know why.Then when he was dealing with official duties, he was a little distracted, even Su Xi noticed Zhao Wuyou's absent-mindedness.

"Master, are you tired?" Suxi asked in a low voice, and brought up a cup of fruit tea, "Take a rest when you're tired! Judging by the situation today, Lord Qiantui probably won't come over."

Zhao Wuyou sneered, "Who is waiting for him!"

Su Xi smiled, "Yes, yes, a low-ranking person talks a lot."

When two people talk, the time passes quickly, so it won't be so boring.It's true that Mu Baili didn't come over tonight, probably because he was delayed by something, and Zhao Wuyou didn't plan to wait for him, so he planned to go to bed early.

Unexpectedly, just as he was taking off his coat, he heard Xi Mo rushing over and saluted outside, "My lord, something happened to the Secretary of Jiaofang."

Eyebrows raised in astonishment, Zhao Wuyou's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood, I'm afraid——I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter.

Even though Zhao Wuyou expected that something would happen, he didn't expect such a big thing to happen.

Inside the Jiaofang Division, there was a dead silence, filled with a strong sense of death.The Jiaofang Division is affiliated to the Ministry of Rites, and the hometown has its own on-duty personnel. The entire Jiaofang Division was surrounded immediately after the accident, and no one was spared.

The moment Zhao Wuyou entered the door, her complexion was as pale as snow, she covered her face and coughed lightly, her cold eyes quickly glanced over everyone in the hall.

All the guests stayed where they were, or stayed in the original room, only Jian Yan stood in the corridor watching her.When Zhao Wuyou raised his head, he just met Jian Yan's gaze.

I can't tell what it feels like, I just feel suffocated, and there is an indescribable gloom.

"Young master?" Hong Gu stepped forward to salute.

Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes to look at her, "What's going on?"

"Everything was fine at first, and Mr. Zhong came here often, and he still ordered Qu Yun, but somehow he suddenly died of poison." Hong Gu's complexion turned pale, "The servant immediately took control of the Jiaofang Secretary. Waiting for the son to investigate."

"Which Master Zhong?" Zhao Wuyou frowned, there are many people with the surname Zhong in the court, and the Secretary of the Jiaofang has been idle for a long time, so she couldn't think of who it was for a while.

Hong Gu blinked her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Master Zhong Xianzhong."

Eyebrows suddenly raised, Zhao Wuyou suddenly raised his head and stared at Jian Yan above him.

Clockwork!Master Zhong!

It was like a boulder was crushed in my heart, and I felt like I couldn't breathe.Zhao Wuyou thought that this time, he might be in serious trouble.Even Su Xi, who was at the side, looked at Zhao Wuyou's expression, and she knew it.

Who is Zhong Mi?

The former Commander of the Five Cities Army and Horse Division was later transferred by Zhao Wuyou on the pretext of negligence in the defense of the capital because of the Zhang Tao case. After that, Wang Jie took over the post of the Five Cities Army and Horse Division Commander.

Now, Zhong Mi died here... Zhao Wuyou might get into trouble.

After all, Zhong Mian had threatened after drinking earlier that he and Zhao Wuyou were at odds, and that one day he would abolish the sick Zhao Wuyou.So from then on, Zhao Wuyou ordered the people in the court to trip up Zhong Mi, intentionally or not, and gradually downgraded him from a third-rank commander to a eighth-rank governor.

One can imagine the resentment and negativity of those who have fallen from the altar.

Zhong Xian had already faded out of everyone's sight, and was even squeezed out of the court, but he did not expect to reappear in front of everyone in this way.

Zhao Wuyou climbed up the steps, the hall was chaotic, and there were guards in each private room, lest those young masters and brothers could not bear to run out.At that time, the situation will get out of control, and gossip will be fiercer than tigers.

When walking up to the second floor, Zhao Wuyou and Jian Yan officially met each other.She still didn't speak, just glanced at him, turned around and walked towards the Accord behind the clock.

"Why don't you speak?" Jian Yan asked.

Zhao Wuyou didn't respond, and went straight into Zhong Xian's Accord, almost turning a blind eye to Jian Yan.

Jian Yan was about to catch up, but was stopped by Xi Mo, "Mr. Jian, everyone here is suspicious now. I hope Mr. Jian will not act rashly and go back to his room."

With two wry smiles, Jian Yan let out a long breath, took one last look at the closed door not far away, and had no choice but to turn back to his room.

Chen Yuntian smiled and said, "He was blocked back? Aren't you a child of Zhao Wuyou? Why is he so ruthless that he doesn't even give you face?"

Jian Yan poured himself a glass of wine and drank it casually, "When I was young, there was nothing I could do. Everyone was dead, so who cares about face! If this matter is stabbed in front of the emperor, it doesn't matter who killed someone , this Jiaofang Division is always the place of the Ministry of Rites, and Wuyou can't escape first."

There is some truth to this statement, Chen Yuntian drank the wine in his glass, "The Jiaofang Division has been established for many years, and now it seems that it is time to close the door to thank guests. Without the etiquette department of the Jiaofang Division, it is actually like a tiger without teeth Who doesn't know that Zhao Wuyou has sent a lot of singing and dancing girls to the palace these years, all of them can occupy half the sky of the harem!"

Jian Yan raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you afraid of attracting suspicion when you say this?"

"I'm not the only one who can think like this." Chen Yuntian shrugged, "Look at those sloppy people in the court, I guess they all have the same thoughts, but they have a wicked heart but no courage! I don't know today. Who is the hero who stabbed this basket. It is impossible to guarantee that it was that person who poisoned himself to death and challenged Zhao Wuyou with his life!"

Jian Yan's eyes dimmed, and he said lightly, "I'm afraid the world will not be chaotic."

Chen Yuntian smiled, "My father said that the world - will be chaotic!"

There is a mellow aroma of wine between the lips and teeth, and a faint smell of powder in the room.Jian Yan raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.Then let out a long breath.At this moment, Hehuan should feel a headache!
Indeed, Zhao Wuyou had already started to have a headache.

The deceased was indeed Zhong Mi, and at this moment he had fallen to the ground, the black blood at the corner of his mouth had solidified.Su Xi quickly stepped forward to check, it was undoubtedly poisoned.

Zhao Wuyou stepped forward slowly, looked at the overturned wine cups and jugs on the table, his brows darkened slightly, "Has anyone touched the things here?"

Hong Gu shook her head hastily, "After the accident, the servant quickly locked up Qu Yun, no one has been here before. What it was like then is what it is now."

"Go and bring Qu Yun, I have something to ask her." Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes.

Hong Gu saluted and hurriedly withdrew.

Su Xi stepped forward and put the silver hairpin into the remaining jug.Not long after, the silver hairpin had turned black, obviously the wine in the jug was indeed poisonous.But it is very strange, "Why is there poison in the jug, but not on the cup?"

There was a glass of wine on the table, and a fragment of the glass was broken on the ground, so it could be seen that the glass of wine on the ground should belong to the bell.

Then on the table...

"Could it be that Qu Yun killed someone?" Su Xi was suspicious.

"Since you can think and suspect that it was Qu Yun who killed the murderer, then Qu Yun can't think of it. Would others be suspicious of her? The women in the Jiaofang Division have all undergone strict training. Do you think they will be so stupid? How dare you be so blatant? murder?" Zhao Wuyou sighed softly.

What's more, this bell has no use value, and his status has long been abandoned by Zhao Wuyou. There is really no benefit in killing him at this moment.So who, at this juncture, would use Zhong Mi's death to smear the Secretary of the Jiaofang?
Su Xi frowned, "The humble officer took this jug of wine back, and asked Wen Gu to investigate carefully to find out what kind of poison it is."

Zhao Wuyou nodded, "Alright, I should ask for clarification. What I'm worried about now is what is behind Zhong Xian's death." Zhao Wuyou felt inexplicably depressed about this matter.

Not long after, Hong Gu brought Qu Yun back.

Qu Yun is a beautiful woman, with the natural gentleness and gracefulness of Jiangnan women.When there was a famine in the south, she followed her father all the way when she was young, and was finally discovered by the spies of the Jiaofang Division, who bought her from her father.

Since then, Qu Yun has never seen his father again.

The rules of the Jiaofang Division stand there, and if one enters the gate of the Jiaofang Division, one is considered to be alone.

When Qu Yun came in, his face was pale.She cautiously raised her eyelids, then quickly lowered her head and knelt down, not daring to look at Zhao Wuyou and Su Xi again, it was obvious that she was extremely nervous.

When Zhao Wuyou lowered his head, he happened to see Qu Yun's trembling fingers tightly clutching his cuff.

"You don't have to be nervous." Zhao Wuyou said indifferently, "Whatever I ask, you answer truthfully."

Qu Yun saluted respectfully, "Yes!"

"Did you kill the person?" Zhao Wuyou asked suddenly.

Qu Yun raised his head quickly, "No!"
