Siheyuan: Don't mess with me

"Sister Zhao, when do you think the official will come back? Where did he go?"

In the canal, on the ship's plank, Song Yinzhang looked at Zhao Pan'er with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Yinzhang, I really don't know. Yesterday Mr. Zhou only said that he had something to do temporarily and asked me to inform you and left!

Don’t worry, he’s so capable, nothing will happen to him!”

Zhao Pan'er has repeated the same answer dozens of times and is already tired of it.

Now we can only repeat the old tune.

His heart was full of complaints against Zhou Cong. First, he wanted to kill Xiao Qinyan regardless of whether he wanted to or not, and he did not comfort Song Yinzhang when he left.

Xiao Qinyan used to be the prime minister of the current dynasty. Although he was demoted to the position of magistrate of Suzhou, he still had soldiers and servants around him, so he could not be killed so easily.

If something happened to Zhou Cong, Song Yinzhang would have to blame himself for the rest of his life, and he would not be able to overcome that hurdle in his heart.

After all, if it weren't for himself, Zhou Cong wouldn't want to kill Xiao Qinyan.

At this moment, a figure landed on the boat like a thunderous dragon, carrying a food box in his hand.

"Guanren, where have you been? You're worried about me!"

Song Yinzhang rushed over.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to try the food from Panlou in Bianjing? I thought I had nothing to do, so I went to Bianjing and brought it over for you to try.

It's just that the road is a bit too far, it must be cold, and it may not be that delicious!

After we get to Bianjing, we will go to Panlou, and we can order whatever you want to eat?"

After Zhou Cong kissed Song Yinzhang's lips, he opened the food box and took out all the dishes inside.

"This guy, I was worried about him in vain, thinking that he really had to go kill Xiao Qinyan! Who knew he actually went to Bianjing!"

Looking at all the dishes that Zhou Cong brought out, Zhao Paner was so angry that she grinded her teeth.

"Guanren, you are so kind to me!"

Hearing that it was just an unintentional remark, he asked Zhou Cong to run back and forth to Bianjing.

Song Yinzhang hugged Zhou Cong with great joy, gave him a sweet kiss, and then warmly invited Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang to dine together.

"It's just average! It's not as delicious as the one I made!"

Sun Sanniang only took two bites before she started to criticize it with disgust.

“When you have the chance, you must try Sanniang’s craftsmanship!”

Zhou Cong smiled.

The day passes quickly!

The boat had difficulty sailing at night and docked at the shore.

After Song Yinzhang was fed and fell asleep tiredly, Zhou Cong got up and left the ship.

Less than half an hour later, he turned back and gently knocked on Zhao Paner's cabin door.

There was a knock on the door and Zhao Pan'er woke up. After hearing that it was Zhou Cong, she also put on her coat and walked out.

"Pan'er, are you ready?"

Zhou Cong showed the box in his hand to Zhao Paner.

"This is……"

Zhao Paner's intense cold war.

"You are right, this is the head of Xiao Qinyan, the magistrate of Suzhou! Because I was afraid of being worried, after I came back, I went to Bianjing again!"

Zhou Cong said softly.

"You're crazy, go and kill him!"

Zhao Pan'er grinded her teeth in excitement.

"For you! What does killing Xiao Qinyan mean?"

Zhou Cong put his arms around Zhao Paner's shoulders and began to talk about love.

To be honest, although he had Zhao Pan'er's reasons for killing Xiao Qinyan, it was more for himself. His plan was to use the night banquet picture to vote for Queen Liu E in order to gain military power and wealth.

But there is a problem. With Liu E's identity and status, too many people are loyal to him.

Even if Zhou Cong could give her the night banquet picture, it would be just the icing on the cake and it would be impossible to achieve a high position.

As the leader of the rear party, Xiao Qinyan was Liu E's staunchest supporter.

Killing him would be a very heavy blow to the rear party.

And he could use this matter to stir up trouble, gain Liu E's support, and successfully ascend to power.

"Xiao Qinyan is just a censor. Even if he killed my father, it was because of his duty! If you kill him, it does not count as revenge for my father!"

Zhao Paner said angrily.

"I understand what Pan'er means. I'm going to kill the official now! He is the one who gave the order!"

Zhou Cong was stunned for a moment and then said.

"I did not mean that?"

Zhao Pan'er was really frightened by Zhou Cong's rebellious words.

Why did the ruler of the Song Dynasty become a lamb ready to be killed at any time in his mouth?

"Then what do you mean?"

Zhou Cong asked.

"Alright! Alright! Let's not argue about this matter for the time being. Thank you young master for avenging my father!"

Seeing that Zhao Pan'er couldn't explain anything to Zhou Cong, he could only use a delaying strategy and paid homage to Zhou Cong Yingying.

"That's it! Where's the kiss you promised me?"

Zhou Cong looked at Zhao Paner.

"When did I promise you? It's all your fault!" Zhao Pan'er was so mad at Zhou Cong that she said loudly.

"I don't care about this. Since you didn't object at the time, I'll take it as your promise!"

Zhou Cong acted rude and rude, hugged Zhao Pan'er, pouted and stretched forward.

"don't want!"

Zhao Pan'er wanted to break free, but felt that her whole body was restrained, and she could only watch as Zhou Cong's lips got closer and closer to her.

Just when Zhao Paner thought she would definitely be kissed, Zhou Cong kissed her gently on the forehead.

"Pan'er, don't be afraid. How could I be willing to force you or bully you? I'll wait until you are willing!"

After that, he took a letter from his arms and handed it to her, "When the seal is up, give her the letter. I'll wait for you in Bianjing!"

After that, he took the box containing Xiao Qinyan's head and left.

Shoukang Palace!

Queen Liu E was sleeping soundly. She felt cold all over her body, as if a pair of eyes were staring at her.

He suddenly woke up and sat up.

"Greetings, saint!"

A strange voice rang!

"Who are you?"

This voice did not belong to anyone in Shoukang Palace, nor to the chamberlain around the emperor, which frightened Liu E inexplicably.

"Common man Zhou Cong, please don't panic, saint! We'd better talk face to face!"

There was a sound outside, and then the curtain was opened by a hand.

Sitting on the bed, Liu E first glanced at the unfamiliar Zhou Cong, and then looked into the palace.

But looking at his chamberlain and several palace maids, their bodies were lying limply on the ground.

"What a beautiful Liu E! She is truly stunning, a stunning and charming woman!"

While Liu E was looking at Zhou Cong, Zhou Cong also looked at the famous demon queen of the Song Dynasty.

Although she knew she was already forty years old, she looked no more than thirty, and the years seemed not to have left many traces on her body.

From a beauty point of view, she is much prettier than Zhao Pan'er, played by Liu Tianxian.

This is also normal.

As the supreme emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Zhenzong was eager to capture the beauties around him. If Liu E was not beautiful enough, how could she have monopolized her for decades?

Moreover, some unofficial historians have said that the reason why Song Zhenzong wanted to find a Shu woman as his wife!

It was because I accidentally saw the alluring Lady Hua Rui in the palace, and I couldn't forget her from then on.

So, he asked his friends to help him buy Liu E.

It was love at first sight and we played with each other every day.

Even Liu E's exposure was due to Liu E's inner charm.

Song Zhenzong played too much and lost weight.

Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi saw the problem and learned of her existence.

Ordered Zhenzong to drive Liu E away.

Zhenzong couldn't bear it, so he hid Liu E in a friend's house.

Liu E lived in Tibet for more than ten years. In order to relieve her loneliness, she read and practiced calligraphy every day, and she grew from an ordinary singer to a talented woman.

After Zhenzong succeeded to the throne, the first person he thought of was Liu E, and he called her into the palace.

Just imagine, in Zhenzong's eyes, Liu E was the woman who could alleviate his pain of missing the stunning beauty Mrs. Hua Rui. How could she be so bad?

"Sage, please forgive Zhou for trespassing. The common people are here to understand the worries of the saint!

Now please allow the common people to present the picture of Wang Zhan's night banquet to the saint as a greeting gift!

As he spoke, Zhou Cong took out a scroll and slowly opened it.

"It's indeed a night banquet picture!"

The picture of this night banquet is from Liu E's unmarried days when she was a singing girl in Shu.

Liu E only took one look and recalled the situation at that time.

"Sage, you can look at it from another angle! Wang Zhan hid the name of the saint in the texture of his clothes!"

As Zhou Cong spoke, he took a few steps back and hid behind the bed.

This picture of a night banquet is of course genuine.

Having watched the TV series, he knew that this picture was given to Ouyang Xu by Zhao Paner. Ouyang Xu in turn gave the picture to his teacher Ke Zheng.

After he left the ship yesterday, the first place he went to was Ke Zheng's study.

Although he didn't recognize Wang Zhan's Night Banquet picture, he had seen Han Xizai's Night Banquet picture on the small seal of the stamp.

Just click on the picture to search, and you will find it easily and happily!

Seeing Zhou Cong retreating to the side of the bed, Liu E breathed a sigh of relief. After putting on her skirt and coat, she got up and got off the ground.

I took a candlelight and took a photo of it on the night banquet picture, and sure enough I found my name in the texture of my clothes.

He lit the night banquet picture casually and threw it into the incense burner, looking at Zhou Cong with twinkling eyes.

"The death of the saint Xiao Qinyan, the magistrate of Suzhou, was caused by Qi Mu, the chief censor!"

Zhou Cong walked over slowly and bowed to her.

"Do you have evidence!"

Liu E's beautiful eyes flashed.

Xiao Qinyan's death was reported to the palace today by the local police officer in Suzhou on a flying horse of 800 miles.

It should be noted that Zhenzong never killed any scholar-bureaucrats during his reign.

Even if he is guilty, the most he can do is to be dismissed from office or demoted and exiled to another place.

This is also the reason why Xiao Qinyan was only the magistrate of a state, but after returning to the dynasty, he could be in the center and become the prime minister.

Because he was originally the prime minister, but was demoted to the magistrate of Suzhou.

Now Xiao Qinyan was killed and his head was cut off.

Not only did this give Liu E a head-on blow, but it also aroused the anger of the scholar-bureaucrats throughout the dynasty.

Although the party struggle is cruel, everyone has a bottom line, that is, they will not use assassination, mutiny and other means.

Once this Pandora's box is opened, the scholar-bureaucrats will no longer have a golden ticket to avoid death. How can they accept it?

In the court hall, all the scholar-bureaucrats who knew the news, regardless of party affiliation, all knelt before Zhenzong and demanded that he find the murderer and punish him severely.

In anger, Zhenzong also ordered the capable men of the Palace Front Division and the Imperial City Division to go to Suzhou.

We must find out the real murderer within ten days and give an answer to the scholar-officials all over the world.

Now, Zhou Cong identifies the murderer as Qi Mu. This is definitely the scene Liu E is most happy to see.

Because after Ke Zheng resigned as prime minister, Qi Mu had become the leader of Qingliu and the main force against Liu E.

If the evidence is really conclusive, find Qi Mu.

It will be an even heavier blow to the Qingliu family, far more severe than the blow to the rear party caused by Xiao Qinyan's death.
