Si Tian Guan

    Qu Chenzhou slept in the evening, and when he arrived at the front room, Ling He was already standing outside the door, waiting for a long time.

    The two of them are not speculative, Ling He doesn't even want to gossip about finding him to settle accounts, and goes straight to the topic.

    "Can you divination today?"

    Ling He remembered that it was less than five days since the last time.

    "Can't."

    "Then what are you doing?"

    "Overwatch."

    To tell the truth, Ling He has never been so annoyed by anyone in his life, except Qu Shenzhou.

      Gotta panic.

    Before he had time to protest, Qu Chenzhou had already entered the door on his own, so he could only keep up and go down the stone steps together.

    Although there is ventilation in the stone room, the stench is too strong, and the smell in the air is not very pleasant.

    Pan He was **** like a zongzi, lying on his side on the ground, with iron shackles on his feet, not yet awake.

    Several months of torture in prison, the body that was white and fat like a dumpling was shriveled, like a piece of dried bacon.

    The blood and flesh of the eyes were blurred, and the two terrifying deep holes were sunk into two terrifying deep holes. You don't need to look elsewhere to imagine what kind of torture this person suffered in Camp Splendid.

    "It's so ugly." Qu Chenzhou frowned and muttered to himself.

    "What?"

    Qu Chenzhou didn't answer Ling He, and poked Pan He's face with the tip of his toes, but there was no response. Although people poured nourishing soup, Pan He was still too seriously injured.

    If you want to know, Liao Guangming will not be so kind and give them good people.

    Ling He saw that he never said a word, and he couldn't help it after a few days in his heart.

     "Qu Chenzhou, what the prince told me... sins give birth to children... is it true?"

    "It's the first time I've heard of it," Qu Chenzhou carefully inspected Pan He's torture wound by candlelight, without raising his head: "But I believe what Liuhou and Shizi said."

    Ling He didn't answer the call immediately, and he was not happy.

      Pull one hair and move the whole body.

    I don't know how many people will be involved.

    In fact, he also believed, which made me even more anxious.

    "Call me Ling He," Ling He didn't dislike the smell, and wrapped his hands in oilcloth to fiddle: "There are many old wounds on the body, they should have been tortured when they first fell into Liao Guangming's hands, and there are few new wounds. , Liao Guangming has exhausted his means, can't ask anything, and has given up."

    Liu Chongming told him all the ins and outs that the two of them could think of, and they were not afraid of him spreading it out. After all, they were all grasshoppers on a rope.

    He counted: "According to my past experience, there are two possibilities for not opening my mouth. First, if Pan Heruo is doing something for the emperor that is invisible..."

    "If this is the case, he knows in his heart that if he is recruited, he will have no value. It is better to shut up and save his life."

     "Secondly, Pan He didn't do things well, or he couldn't come up with what Liao Guangming wanted."

    Qu Chenzhou agrees: "Maybe both."

    "What do you think is it, or something?" Ling He asked.

      Impossible to survive."

    But Bihongzi is so powerful that it cannot allow the tortured person to fully tell the ins and outs of an incident.

    Both of them fell silent - now it seems that this matter is very likely to have a great relationship with "sin-born children".

    The question has entered the horns, what exactly is Pan He going to do? Whether or not it can really cure the emperor's illness, in short, if the emperor believes, it must exist.

    Difficulties must exist, otherwise, how could Liao Guangming return with nothing.

    Although it is not in a hurry, the emperor looks at Liu Chongming from above, maybe a little progress will make things brighter.

    Ling He looked at Qu Chenzhou thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Who are you?"

    Qu Chenzhou looked away from Pan He, looked at him, and answered simply, "My name is Qu Chenzhou."

    "You are not!" Ling He denied.

    Qu Chenzhou chuckled lightly: "That's embarrassing, who am I?"

    Not to mention Ling He, even to Mrs. Bai, they just mentioned that he was good at divination. Whether it was the resurrection from the dead or the resurrection, it was too scary to tell outsiders.

    Even if Ling He looks like a torch, he can't see through.

    "Qu Chenzhou, I want to know, what exactly do you want to do?" Ling He seemed to want to see through him: "Why would someone as powerful as you want to take the heir and help him? Prince?"

    "I'm happy," Qu Chenzhou raised his jaw slightly and asked, "What about you? Is it for the one on your shoulders, or for Rong Jiu'an?"

    Ling He couldn't tell.

    Only know that Jiu'an has ups and downs several times, he can't do anything, this time he doesn't want to see himself being left behind again, he wants to use his life to protect a person, even if that person doesn't plan to look back at him.

    He suddenly thought, as if he wanted to understand something.

    "Qu Shenzhou, do you treat the prince..."

    Qu Chenzhou lowered his head to fiddle with Pan He, disliked the blood and stench, and only used his toes to pick it up. When Ling He asked this, he happened to step on Pan He's lower abdomen.

    The peculiar stench of the incomplete person escaped and mixed with the stench of blood in the air.

    Qu Shenzhou: "…"

    Ling He: "…"

    The faces of the two suddenly turned blue, and at the same time they rushed to the stone steps, and at the same time they were stuck in the narrow passage.

    Ling He pushed the Qu Shenzhou up first with a collapsed face, and the two stumbled up from the ground, lying on the railing outside the house, gasping for breath.

    In the middle of the night, Ling He was not good at swearing, he could only grind his teeth.

    "Are you sick! It's so good, why are you stepping on him!"

    Qu Chenzhou was not to be outdone: "I just saw that he seemed to move a little, thinking he was about to wake up, who knew he could step out of the yellow soup?"

    "You..." Ling He was indignant: "Did you do it on purpose!"

    Qu Chenzhou held his hands innocently.

    Almost invariably, they look in the same direction.

    Liu Chongming was originally guarding in the study, and it was no surprise to see the two bickering at this time.

    "Stop arguing," he rarely acted as a peacemaker, and asked the servant behind him to bring the tray: "Come and drink some tea to calm down."

    Ling He lifted the lid, saw the wolfberry inside floating in the yellow-brown ginseng soup, and put down the tea bowl.

    "It's a shame." He pointed at Liu Chongming.

    Liu Chongming was inexplicable, looking for the answer to Qu Chenzhou with his eyes, Qu Chenzhou was noncommittal and took a sip of tea leisurely.

    Ling He vomited.

    There is still nothing to gain tonight, he was about to leave, and turned back.

    "You mentioned twins before, and I have the impression that there has been such a case. I turned around and thought about it better than nothing, but I found something strange."

    "What?" Liu Chongming was more and more grateful for Qu Shenzhou's decision to pull Linghe into the water.

     "What I just said was not accurate. In fact, it is not twins, but pregnant women with twins."

    Ling He looked solemn: "Someone sued the official, saying that the wife who was about to give birth at home was missing, and the woman was pregnant with twins."

    "The files in the temple are carefully classified. I looked around and found more than one similar case."

    "In 15 years, there have been eight cases in total, eight women who were pregnant with Liujia disappeared, but four of them did not mention whether they were pregnant with twins."

    "How was the case closed?"

    "Most of them are nothing. Although two of the prisoners have been dealt with, in my opinion, there are many doubts in the middle, and I have read it carelessly. At first glance, someone took care of it and found a scapegoat."

    Liu Chongming and Qu Chenzhou looked at each other.

    If there is no accident, the disappearance of the woman is not a big surprise, let alone the time span of fifteen years.

    But now there are previous clues, the missing are all pregnant women, including four pairs of twins, the probability is high enough to make them alert.

    What's more, there is no result.

    "Who are they?"

    Ling He took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve: "It's been too long, the last time was five years ago, these people may not be still there, the prince can send someone to check."

    Liu Chongming ordered Ling He to go back, briefly glanced at the corridor, and handed the paper to Qu Shenzhou.

    "Can I be a little more optimistic."

    Seeing Qu Chenzhou raised his eyebrows, he motioned for him to continue, Liu Chongming couldn't help but smile, nothing could be hidden from the little fox.

    "I'm not just talking about Linghe's discovery - Fang Wuyang just sent a message saying that he found the Jinpingzhuang mentioned by my sister."

    "It's not too far from Chengfeng paddock, and there is not even a plaque on Zhuangzi. Fang Wuyang had a hard time finding it. He heard it by chance with a team of soldiers in the paddock."

    Qu Chenzhou frowned: "Zhuangzi, who doesn't even have a plaque, why would the paddock patrol know?"

    "Yes, the problem is here, Fang Wuyang guarded it for a few days and found that Zhuangzi looked like an ordinary family's residence, but it was a bit remote, but the patrol route of the paddock patrol would The Zhuangzi is surrounded by them, but they won't get too close."

    "Perhaps to not attract attention, the patrol will pass there once every two days."

    "Who are the people in Zhuangzi?" Qu Chenzhou also agreed with Liu Chongming's previous words, they can indeed be optimistic: "What do those people eat?"

    "Among those servants, they didn't say a word all day long. Fang Wuyang guessed that these people were most likely mute. Not only the servants, but also the nursing home didn't say a word."

    "On weekdays, people who have a fixed cost for food and clothing will send them there. Later, I will let people pay attention to them and see where they are sent, but... I don't know where people live. What kind of people are."

    "I'll go take a look." Qu Chenzhou is obliged to do this, and it just so happens that he has nothing to do recently.

    Liu Chongming has only one hope at the moment.

    Although Fang Wuyang lurked in Zhuangzi for a few days, they did not hear any valuable conversations. The people who lived there were not going out, and they were only talking about the parents, lyrics and poems, like It's like living in a paradise.

    "Take a good rest tomorrow, and let Fang Wuyang take you there the day after tomorrow." He stretched out his hand: "It's late at night, go to sleep."

    Qu Chenzhou stretched out his hand to hold him, but he couldn't help pursing his lips and laughing, making him feel like a man on his back.

    "What's wrong?"

    Qu Chenzhou just smiled and didn't speak.

    Until he entered the bedroom, Liu Chongming saw him spread out the quilt, and he was about to fall asleep. In the end, he still stood in front of the sarong and whispered: "Shen Zhou, I have something to talk to. you say."

    Qu Chenzhou sat on the bed, removed his shoes and socks, sat cross-legged on the bed and looked up.

    Liu Chongming knew, why did the little fox laugh just now, obviously he already knew something, waiting for him to confess.

    He rubbed the hand lightly.

    "Because of the past, as you know, my mother has been ill for a while, and her health has been slowly getting better recently. When she asked people to call me, I also thought, it's too long I haven't seen you, as a son, I should go and see her anyway."

     "In the end, I didn't expect that there were people from the Tang family who went to see her at that time."

    He only saw the aunt, and already knew his mother's mind.

    My mother has always been proud of being born in the Tang family, and since he inherited the line, she has often nagged in her ear, asking him to marry a girl from the Tang family.

    He never wanted to stand by the queen, let alone let the Bailiu family follow him and bow down at the feet of King Ning.

    The most important thing is that he now has a loved one and can no longer tolerate others around him.

    Qu Chenzhou only smiled, and pulled out his hand to untie the red rope on his head.

    "On the Queen's side, whether the prince can offend you or not, you still have to talk about the scene, and you can't go crazy to the Queen if you are crazy."

    "I know this, you don't have to worry," Liu Chongming comforted him: "I didn't let them have the opportunity to say this."

    "Re-Ming, if the Queen..."

     After you, it will be in this other courtyard, and you will have a bridal chamber. Anyone who wants to put people in my place will only serve as a maid for you."

    "They are all famous ladies."

     "What about the famous ladies, if they can pull their faces into my Liu family's door, they have to listen to me."

    "What about me?" Qu Chenzhou asked.

    Liu Chongming was serious and answered quickly: "Of course I listen to you."

    Qu Chenzhou sneered, got into the quilt, and pulled the quilt straight to the tip of his nose.

    "Is the prince trying to avoid marriage? Or is he in a hurry to marry me?"

    His hand opened the placket of his middle jacket, and a jade bell rang.

    Qu Shenzhou pressed down conditioned reflexively, and hid it back into the placket.

    "Sir, although the emperor has little affection for the queen, he often supports the queen, and won't even let any empress assist the sixth palace. Sometimes, I even think about whether the emperor has any leverage. In the hands of the Queen."

    Liu Chongming watched the frivolous smile gradually fade in front of him. This bluntly changed topic always made his heart that wanted to drift down to find nowhere to go.

    The author has something to say:    PS: Don’t worry about what Shen Zhou is going to do, look at the development of the following things, you will know soon
