This incident has come full circle, but it has developed in a direction that no one expected, and the spearhead turned out to be Ouyang Shao Zheng's position as commander of the Imperial City Army.

Zhao Pu saw that Ouyang was still enjoying himself there, so he asked him what his plans were.

Ouyang Shaozheng said "ha", "It seems that I really want to be the commander. Whoever wants to be the commander can be the leader. If someone is willing to take over, I will quit tomorrow."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Zhao Pu, and Zhao Pu also scratched his head - indeed, it was not Ouyang Shaozheng who wanted to be the commander of the imperial city army, it was Zhao Zhen who wanted him to be... In other words, no one is more suitable than him.

this position.

I still remember that Zhao Zhen talked to him about tricking Ouyang Shaozheng into taking this position. In the end, even his father moved out, and he was able to stabilize this red hair.

But everyone knows that Ouyang himself does not like this position at all.

Is there anyone in this world more suitable to be the commander of the Imperial City Army than Ouyang Shaozheng?

Let’s not talk about Huo Qilin’s good martial arts skills and rich combat experience. Let’s talk about the terrain of Kaifeng Mansion. Who is more familiar with him? He has military exploits, and all the soldiers obey him. He grew up in the imperial city since he was a child. He is also the second generation ancestor of the imperial city.

He has known most of the officials since he was a child, and he can talk to each yamen. The three generations of Zhongliang in his family are all famous generals, and they have a clean foundation. Zhao Pu’s brothers have known Zhao Zhen since they were young. The bunch of foreigners in Jintingguanyi are not

They didn't even pay attention to the soldiers and horses coming from the northwest, but they didn't even dare to say a word when they saw Ouyang Shaozheng. Under the leadership of Ouyang, the Imperial City Army cooperated with the Kaifeng Mansion tacitly, and the Imperial City was in order...anyone else

Even if you sit in his position, you can't do better than him.

Some things are as separated as mountains. A layman may think that as long as he is a military general, whoever is in charge of the imperial city army is the same. But insiders know best. Even if Zhao Pu is allowed to be the commander of the imperial city army, he is not as suitable as Ouyang Shaozheng.

Therefore, in fact, the person who is most worried now is not Ouyang himself, nor Zhao Pu nor everyone in Kaifeng Mansion, but Zhao Zhen.

…

Zhao Zhen, who has been having a good time lately, was feeling angry last morning and was currently throwing jars in the imperial garden.

The fourth son gave him a wooden jar before. It didn't break no matter how hard he dropped it, and it was very satisfying when he smashed it on the ground. It was the same type of wooden medicine bowl that his father loved to throw.

Zhao Zhen threw the jar with a bang and cursed, "You can't let me live in peace for a few days!"

Nangong Ji walked into the yard and picked up the jar that Gululu rolled to his feet.

Zhao Zhen turned his face and asked him, "How is the news outside?"

"The direction is a bit strange." Nangong seemed quite embarrassed, "I don't know why, but it is related to the previous case of Xue An and Qiao Wanwan. Everyone is saying that the girl in red, Mei'er, is a ghost fox or something.

It is said that the red fox Ouyang raised recently is the ghost fox, so Ouyang Shaozheng was fascinated by the ghost fox."

Zhao Zhen frowned and asked Nangong amusedly, "Are the people in the imperial city gossiping so high-end recently?"

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was still thinking about joking, Nangong lowered his head, coughed, and looked aside.

Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes and asked Nangong, "What else?"

Nangong looked around and saw no one around, so he said to Zhao Zhen in a low voice, "Most people are spreading rumors about Guihu and Ouyang...but there are still some people who are saying that Concubine Pang is pregnant with Longzi.

It’s also because I worshiped the ghost fox.”

Zhao Zhen was slightly startled when he heard this, then took a deep breath, and Nangong quickly handed the jar to him.

Zhao Zhen took the jar and smashed it hard, "You bastard!"

Nangong stood aside and shook his head, feeling that things were going to get out of hand...

…

At noon, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang accompanied Qin Shuyun to visit Xue An.

Xue An is still in that half-dead state, and he is very depressed.

Qin Shuyun sighed and without speaking to him, she left the prison with Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang and went to the study to see Mr. Bao.

Master Bao's study was very lively. The Grand Master, the Eighth Prince and Li Yue were all here. They all came to see the situation after hearing rumors about the Imperial City Army. After all, they had high positions and had a sense of unusual movements within the imperial court.

Octavia.

In the yard outside the study, Ouyang Shaozheng was pressed against the stone table with his chin in his hands, drinking tea. Long Qiaoguang on the right and Zou Liang on the left stared at him closely.

Lin Yehuo and Xiaoliangzi, the fourth son, became very interested in foxes. One and two little ones sat cross-legged under the tree and were "chatting" with the fox. Dumb and Xiaowu squatted aside, tilting their heads and looking at the fox.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took Miss Qin into the study.

Mr. Bao asked Qin Shuyun to sit down.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked around and found that Zhao Pu and Gongsun were not there.

Mr. Bao said that the Ninth Prince and Mr. Gongsun went out together, saying they were going to the Imperial City Army’s barracks.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at the three people sitting on the stone benches at the door - Aren't you three going?

Zou Liang and Ouyang Shaozheng both glanced at Long Qiaoguang, and Mr. Guang glared back - You are not allowed to go, sit still and don't move!

Zou Liang and Ouyang both curled their lips.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a little confused - what happened?

The grand master whispered to Zhan Zhao that some people in the imperial city army seemed to be dissatisfied. The prince said that he should go and check the situation and not let General Zou and the pioneer officers pass, lest he could not suppress the anger and be plotted by others.

Li Yue waved to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang and asked, "Have you heard about it? It's getting more and more evil on the streets."

Zhan Zhao was curious, "Is there anything new to say?"

The Eighth Prince pointed at the red fox that was playing with the fourth child in the yard, "Now everyone is saying that Young Master has raised a ghost fox.

Li Yue shook his head, "Not only that, but Concubine Pang's story has also spread."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both a little puzzled. Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi heard someone gossiping about Concubine Pang, so they came in and asked, "What is the rumor about Fat Auntie?"

Li Yue poked Xiaosizi's fleshy cheeks and whispered, "It is said that Concubine Pang was able to conceive Longzi by worshiping ghost foxes. According to this trend..."

As he said this, everyone glanced at the Grand Master.

The Grand Master curled his lips and said, "It's all the same routine. I guess until the end, they will say that this dragon son is unlucky..."

"So cruel?" Lin Yehuo sounded a little disgusted, "Isn't it harming the family? Is this a power struggle, or is it causing trouble for Zhao Zhen?"

Lord Bao, Marquis Qingping and the Eighth Prince all smiled at Lin Yehuo, "Aren't you just adding trouble to the Emperor?"

Lin Yehuo was puzzled, "How to say it?"

"The meaning is very simple. My daughter is just a bargaining chip. If we deal with the Pioneer Officer matter, my daughter will be fine. If we don't deal with it... then we will be guilty of the same crime." The Grand Master looked at Ouyang Shaozheng who was feeding the fox water outside the house, and said slightly.

He smiled and continued drinking tea with the cup in hand.

Everyone in the room felt that the Grand Master's reaction was a bit strange. In the past, if someone had touched Concubine Pang, it would have violated the Grand Master's taboo. There was no reason for him to be so calm.

Seeing everyone staring at him, the Grand Master reached out and brushed his beard, "I feel like something is a little abnormal."

Everyone nodded at him - isn't that abnormal!

Master Bao heard something in his words and asked him, "What's abnormal?"

The Grand Master touched his chubby chin with an unreadable expression, "Whether it's aimed at the Pioneer Officer or the little girl, I can understand... But why... do these rumors seem to be aimed at that fox?"

Qin Shuyun, who had been sitting and listening to the discussion, now said, "Maybe... this is the reason why my mother-in-law was killed..."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought about Qin Shuyun's words and were surprised, "So many killers in Yingsuo Tower want to kill you, not because of your husband-in-law Xue An, but because of your mother-in-law?"

Miss Qin nodded, "You may not know that my mother-in-law and my father-in-law are not the original couple."

The eyes of several adults were widened - really?

"My mother-in-law remarried. Before marrying my father-in-law, she had a daughter. Later, the child died. The child's father became ill because of missing her daughter and also passed away. My mother-in-law lived alone, and then she met my father-in-law by chance, and we got together.

"Qin Shuyun said with slightly red eyes, "My mother-in-law didn't tell her in detail what she was like in the past. My father-in-law only knew that she suffered from the loss of a daughter and a husband, so the family was never allowed to mention it. I went to the temple with my mother-in-law once before.

To fulfill my wish, when I was admiring flowers in the courtyard that night, a little fox passed by. I didn’t know how to fall in love with the scene, so my mother-in-law told me some past events. She said that she used to have a very well-behaved and beautiful daughter, but later she was taken over by a wealthy man.

The young man fell in love with me, but my daughter was naively deceived. Later, the man betrayed her, and the girl jumped into the river and committed suicide without thinking."

Everyone frowned - these days, good cabbage is called pig gong.

"My mother-in-law said that she had always thought that her daughter committed suicide, so she was just sad and didn't go into details. But later she learned that her daughter did not commit suicide, but was killed by someone."

When Zhan Zhao heard that it was an unjust case, he felt a little regretful and asked, "Why didn't you report the case at that time?"

Qin Shuyun shook her head, "My mother-in-law said that the other party is too powerful and cannot be fought. She is afraid that it will implicate my father-in-law and Xue An... and she does not have enough evidence."

Mr. Bao heard some of the hidden meanings, "The Xue family is not an ordinary family. With such a status, they don't dare to fight with each other?"

Qin Shuyun smiled helplessly, took out something from the purse she carried and put it on the table.

Everyone leaned over to take a look, and saw that what Qin Shuyun put on the table was a gold ring. There was a pattern on the ring, similar to a seal... It was a bird holding cotton in its mouth...

Master Bao frowned when he saw this sign. The Eighth Prince and Marquis Qingping also looked at each other. The Grand Master seemed to be prepared in his heart, with a slight sneer on his lips.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang simultaneously remembered the sea pearl earring they found in the bird's nest... Is it such a coincidence? Is there any connection?

"Who told Mrs. Xue that her daughter was killed?" the Eighth Prince asked.

Qin Shuyun was silent for a while, then turned around and looked at the red fox sitting in the courtyard.

Everyone followed her gaze and looked out.

Qin Shuyun sighed, "My mother-in-law said that the ghost fox told her that she made a wish with the ghost fox. Even if it costs her own life, the murderer will pay for it."

Zhan Zhao and the others could not help but think that Mrs.

While the case was being discussed here, Mahan from the outside Dynasty hurried in to report that there was chaos at the door and asked Mr. Bao and Zhan Zhao to go out and take a look.
