Great Liangzhen Fusi, starting as the villain

What a powerful chess player... In the snow mountain, the Taoist leader taught Qi Ping how to play chess, and he was able to witness this world's top and extraordinary game.

But at this moment, in the dungeon, Qi Ping got a glimpse of another chess game.

A more complex, invisible, and more dangerous chess game.

Not afraid, but faintly excited, as if meeting a real opponent.

On the table, the lights flickered.

Du Yuanchun stared at Qi Ping, and could see the fire in the boy's pupils.

"Is this what you just thought of?" He asked confirmingly.

In the past, he only learned about Qi Ping's extraordinary reasoning ability from the reports of his subordinates. Today, he finally witnessed it with his own eyes, and he was still amazed in his heart.

Qi Ping nodded, exhaled immediately, and said with a smile:

"Of course, this is just a guess and has yet to be confirmed."

Du Yuanchun shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's true, at least... there's a great possibility."

After a pause, he frowned and said, "But if it is really as you guessed, it will be difficult."

Previously, the emperor's idea was to fish, but if the other party tried to test it, there might not be a "back hand" before the case was concluded.

Qi Ping said: "No, it's not difficult. Just a little modification."

Du Yuanchun asked, "What do you want?"

Qi Ping pondered for a while, sorted out his thoughts in his heart, and said:

"Whether my guess is true or false, in fact, there is not much difference in the current situation. Your Majesty wants to fish, so you can continue. It's just that you can add more bait appropriately.

For example, let Daomen not come forward for the time being.

In the yamen, some public opinions can also be properly created... just say that I can't prove myself.

In this way, if the people in the dark think that I have nothing to do with the chief, they may try to kill me... Heh, just like His Majesty planned, they are not afraid of the other party's appearance, but they are afraid of shrinking back. "

Du Yuanchun nodded first, then said with a weird expression:

"You 'suspect', take the initiative to pour dirty water on yourself, seriously?"

Qi Ping laughed and said:

"It's just a test. If the ghost wants to test me, then of course I can use his tricks to interfere with his judgment. As for my own safety... as senior brother said, His Majesty trusts me, so why should I worry?"

Du Yuanchun took a deep look at him and exclaimed:

"Okay. I will arrange it, but in this case, you may have to stay in the imperial prison for a while."

Qi Ping stretched his waist: "I'm on vacation anyway, where is it not a rest?"

Du Yuanchun smiled and said, "Then I'm afraid you won't be able to rest."

What do you mean... Qi Ping is vigilant.

Du Yuanchun said: "Your Majesty said that you are sent to prison, firstly, to lure the inner ghost, and secondly, there is another task that needs to be completed by you."

... No, you still have to work in prison?The behavior of capitalists... Qi Ping opened his mouth: "Task?"

Du Yuanchun nodded:

"Speaking of which, it's more or less related to you. After Xiahou Yuanqing fled, the imperial court arrested his family members in Beijing, and they are being held in prison for interrogation. They want to find out Xiahou's accomplices, but there has been no progress..."

Qi Ping was stunned for a moment, and in his mind, he recalled the morning when he had a conversation with the eldest princess in the palace half a month ago.

He once said this matter, but unexpectedly, it was involved with himself again.

"No progress means..." Qi Ping was puzzled.

"These people just say they don't know anything, and it's useless to punish them."

Qi Ping knew the horror of torture in prison, and frowned:

"Maybe I really don't know."

Du Yuanchun said lightly:

"It's possible, but it's also possible. If you just grit your teeth and don't say anything, your majesty's idea is that you have come here, so you will take the opportunity to contact Xiahou. It just so happens that your crime is also appropriate... If you can pry something out , count your credit."

Is that so?

Approaching the Xiahou family to inquire about news?

Tsk, the emperor really knows how to "make the best use of everything"... Qi Ping had no reason to refuse, so he nodded:

"it is good."

Reach an agreement.

Then, the two agreed on the details. Because they didn't have breakfast, Du Yuanchun first ordered people to bring food, and then summoned Mo Xiaoqiong to come over and cooperate with Qiping.

Mo Qianhu, who had a soft face and a hidden knife in his smile, was a little confused when he entered the door. After Du Yuanchun finished speaking, he realized and smiled:

"Qi Baihu, I'm going to wrong you next time."

Sitting at the table, Qi Ping nodded with rice porridge and a meat bun in his mouth.

Du Yuanchun who walked to the iron gate suddenly remembered something and asked:

"By the way, your family..."

Qi Ping swallowed the bun, fell silent for a while, and said hard-heartedly:

"The whole set of acting, I can only keep it a secret for the time being, please brother to send someone to watch it, and use the name of spying on it. Well, it's mainly at the bookstore.

As for my sister... I asked Mr. Six of the academy to protect her, and she should be taken to the academy. "

The reason why he agreed to play this bitter trick was not only because of the emperor's arrangement, but also because he also wanted to take the opportunity to find out the "ghost" hiding in the dark.

Sooner or later, he would have to pay back the suffering he had suffered on the grassland.

Du Yuanchun froze for a moment, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Only then did he know that Qi Ping had already made arrangements when he was arrested.

"You wouldn't have guessed at the beginning that the ghosts in Beijing were going to deal with you, right?" the governor in black and red brocade robe asked suddenly.

Qi Ping showed a bright smile: "How could that be?"

……

……

No one knew that after Qi Ping was imprisoned, he did not suffer any punishment. Instead, he ate and drank well, and made plans while talking and laughing.

In the eyes of outsiders, just like the prosperity and decline, since entering the capital, the monstrous genius who has risen rapidly has finally ushered in a turning point of fate.

In the afternoon, Nancheng Courtyard.

When Elder Yun, with gray temples and plain clothes, returned home, he just opened the courtyard door when he saw the listless Qing'er. He got up from the stool and asked eagerly:

"How about it?"

Elder Yun was silent for a while, shaking his head and sighing.

Qing'er's heart sank.

In the morning, after Qi Ping was taken away, Mr. Yun thought twice, and set off for the inner city to inquire about the news, and soon learned the ins and outs.

After hearing about the "three major crimes", the old man was keenly aware that there might be inside information.

I went to ask my old friend He Shangshu, Ministry of Rites, and found out that the Metropolitan Procuratorate was promoting this matter.

This made the old man realize that the problem was difficult.

In particular, after learning that the eldest princess asked to see the emperor and was turned away, she became more and more worried.

He didn't continue to ask, but returned by car. As a former emperor teacher, he knew very well where the key point of all this was.

Therefore, I didn't try to enter the palace - if the emperor is angry right now, the best way is to wait until the anger subsides before going to see him.

"Qi Ping is currently suspended for investigation, as long as the investigation is clear, he can come back safely." The old man comforted.

Yun Qing'er was so anxious that she said loudly: "Ke Chao..."

After saying two words, he suddenly turned his head, glanced at the closed door behind him, and lowered his voice:

"Where is the Imperial Prison? I heard that anyone who enters will have to take off a layer of skin."

The old man comforted: "He is a member of the Zhenfu Department, so he is different from outsiders."

After a pause, she changed the subject: "The Qi family girl..."

Yun Qing'er's fair face was gray:

"I managed to coax her to rest in the house. Just now she was about to go out and said to find the princess, but I stopped her."

The old man nodded, and immediately realized that something was wrong. When he came back from inquiring about the news, wouldn't Qi Shu come out and ask?

"Not good!" The old man stepped forward quickly, and pushed open the door. It was empty, only the back window was open.

Qing'er was stunned, and stomped her feet angrily: "I'll go after it!"

"No need!"

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the grass and trees in the small courtyard swayed. In the wind, a suave figure in a Confucian shirt showed his true face.

Holding a folding fan in one hand, and supporting the sleeping Qi Shu in the other.

Xi Lian said indifferently: "Teacher don't want to look for it anymore, Qi Ping sent me a letter to take this girl to the academy for now."

Elder Yun's heart moved, and he nodded: "Mr. Lao Liu is here."

Xi Lian nodded, took the wind and fled towards the green hills in the suburbs, a little surprised.

I thought to myself why did Qi Ping get mixed up with the old master?

……

A few days later, the news that Qi Ping was suspended for investigation has also been thoroughly fermented in the officialdom in Kyoto.

Everyone in the yamen has heard about this genius who has been in the limelight several times in the past six months.

Especially after the official bank case, it left a deep impression on the hearts of civil and military officials.

But just when countless people thought that Zhenfu Division was a rising star, the accusation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate cast a cloud over this star.

At first, people still maintained a wait-and-see attitude, thinking that it might be released soon.

However, the following changes made things more turbulent and strange.

In the Zhenfu Division, a piece of news began to circulate that Qi Ping insisted that he was rescued by a mysterious Taoist, but he could not provide the name of the monk.

It is only said that when the great monk sent him to the capital, he disappeared, hiding his merit and fame deeply.

A rogue, unfalsifiable piece of news.

The Department of Zhenfu tried to investigate according to the description, but there was no result.

As a result, the investigation continued... and in the process, some "grape information" from unknown sources began to circulate.

Mostly it means that there is a real problem with Qi Ping, so he has not released him for a long time, and also said that the court has found new evidence and is verifying it...

No one knows how this wind blows.

But it seemed that overnight, this newly promoted hundred household was about to fall.

……

National Supervisor.

This day during the lunch break, after class, a group of students gathered to chat, and one student said mysteriously:

"Have you heard, then Qi Ping is really going to be doomed, it seems that he has found evidence of his crime."

"I've heard that too. It seems that the guards of the edict prison slipped up and spread the word." One person added.

The rest of the people came over with different expressions.

"Crack." Suddenly, someone slammed the scroll on the table again, attracting everyone's attention.

It is He Shi'an who looks like Mr. Pianpian... the grandson of the Minister of Rites.

It was also a student who did not know Qi Ping in the Golden Wind Building.

"It's impossible to talk about people's mistakes, not to mention, it's still an unconfirmed rumor."

He Shi'an looked coldly at the classmate who raised the topic:

"You said you have evidence against him? Where did the news come from? All I know is that the Department of Zhenfu has not yet announced the results."

The student's status is not low, and he is not afraid at all, and said indifferently:

"Where did I hear it? I want to tell you? The Zhenfusi took care of his family and suppressed the news. You go ask, is there a discussion in every yamen? Is it groundless?"

Next to him, another round-faced student whispered:

"I'm afraid it's true. I wondered before that the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate didn't have any real evidence. He just said something suspicious, and His Majesty ordered a strict investigation.

Looking at it now, I am afraid that Qi Ping's problem is more serious than what Na Chu Zhixing and the Metropolitan Procuratorate said. "

"Yes, yes, otherwise, Du Yuanchun would have thought of a way to release him a long time ago, wouldn't he be able to remove the suspicion?"

As they spoke, some students looked at He Shian with complicated eyes.

Everyone knows that He Shi'an has become a shareholder of Liujiao Bookstore, and he and Qiping are "allies" in business.

Later, after the newspaper was published, the status of the bookstore was raised a lot, and there was a faint momentum to replace the original status of the world bookstore.

During this process, some "children" who have invested in shares are also proud of themselves, and they often show off among their peers.

But right now... Heh, if Qi Ping really surrenders to the enemy, then Liujiao Bookstore will definitely be implicated, and I'm afraid it will close soon.

He Shi'an's face was ugly, and the originally gentle young man showed a rare look of anger, but he forcibly suppressed it, snorted coldly, and walked away.

In the corner of the school, the chubby Lu An and the tall, thin and fair Wang Yan hurriedly chased them out:

"Brother He, where are you going?"

Outside the house, He Shi'an looked at the two people who were chasing him: "I want to go to the bookstore."

"Let's go too!"

……

A group of three people got into the carriage and rushed towards the outer city.

On the way, he accidentally ran into several other children, all of whom also invested in the stock, the official minister's daughter, Yuan Zhou's elder brother Yuan Hong and others.

Obviously, they all got the news, were worried, and went to visit.

Everyone walked along the way, passing several Liujiao Bookstore branches along the way, and found that the flow of people seemed to be less than before.

Not surprisingly, Qi Ping's reputation is mainly in the officialdom and literary circles, and most ordinary people don't know him, but most of those scholars know the existence of this "poetry fairy" because of the Taochuan Poetry Society.

Coincidentally, this group of people is also the main force for buying books.

Xu has heard all the rumors in recent days.

Whether it is to avoid suspicion or other emotions, it is not surprising that I will not come here anymore.

He Shiping has no expression on his face. He doesn't really care about business, but is just worried. If Qi Ping takes it seriously...it would be a pity.

Amid anxiety, several carriages finally arrived at Liujiao Lane in Nancheng.

Although it is in the outer city, it is the main store and the newspaper office.

It was also a coincidence that when several "disciples" arrived, they were surprised to find that a large group of people had gathered at the door of the bookstore, blocking the door of the store, and the atmosphere was tense.

It caused many people to watch.

"what happened?"

He Shi'an got out of the car, pushed through the crowd, and saw that among the crowd blocking the door, the leader was Chu Zhixing.

Chu Zhixing today is no longer sloppy and frustrated.

Wearing an expensive Confucian shirt, he looks dignified, but there is hostility in his eyes.

Pointing at the door and cursing:

"Qi Ping colluded with the barbarians, framed Zhongliang, everyone got it and punished him, so what if we smashed your shop today?"

Behind him, a group of hired hooligans and gang idlers are gearing up and eager to try.

store front.

Fan Er, who was dressed as a businessman, had angry eyes, holding a plaque in his hand, and a group of guys behind him were nervous and panicked.

Fan Er said loudly:

"This plaque was written by Prince Jing personally. Anyone who dares to trespass is tantamount to offending the prince! Let me see who dares!"

A group of hooligans faltered.

They looked at Chu Zhixing one after another. Although they took money, it didn't mean they had to sacrifice their lives.

Chu Zhixing's expression was gloomy and cold, his eyes rolled suddenly, and he pointed to the newspaper office next to him:

"This house is not protected by the prince, so smash it for me!"

Fan Er's complexion changed drastically.

"stop!"

He Shi'an, Wang Yan and the others were about to stop them, only to hear a loud shout, and an exclamation came from outside the crowd:

"The official is here!"

I saw a group of officials from the yamen brazenly enter the arena, and an old man in a plain robe came out from the center, which attracted the surprise of the onlookers:

"It's Mr. Yun."

"Why did Old Man Yun bring his troops here?"

The Taifu was out of breath, but rarely showed an angry look: "The old man is standing here, let's see who dares to make trouble!"

Chu Zhixing was taken aback for a moment, he was lucky enough to see this face at a private literary meeting, his face changed drastically, and he bowed:

"Students...students pay homage to the Taifu!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Fan Er, holding the plaque, was stunned on the spot, looking at Mr. Yun in disbelief.

Yun Lao was furious, walked over step by step, and suddenly swung round, slapped Chu Zhixing with stares in the eyes, and fell backwards:

"You too?"
