Great Lawyer

Chapter 602 Brothers Meet ([-])

So he burned Fahua Temple in a rage, ran away in a rage, and raised the flag in Guangxi to rebel in a rage.But he was too kind, he didn't believe that his brother would really kill his father, and he didn't really bring soldiers and horses to kill and snatch the territory.

It's just entrenched in Guangxi, which seems to be nonsense, but it is also the helplessness of his inner compassion to vent.

In the past few years, no one can understand and enlighten King Gui's inner struggle and pain.At his youngest, full of vigor, he held back.

This is very rare.

Du Jiuyan almost looked at him with admiration.

"Who told you this, why do you...why believe him?"

"It's a letter." King Gui said: "And I also had doubts at the time. My father's death was too sudden. This letter gave me the answer."

Du Jiuyan walked back and forth a few steps, stopped and looked at King Gui, "Kill the first emperor, kill the prince...My lord, the person who told you this matter, could it be the person behind the scenes?"

"I don't know." King Gui said, "I went to the imperial mausoleum that night and opened the coffin for an autopsy."

Du Jiuyan was surprised again, "Did you see the late emperor's body?"

"Yes." King Gui said, "I don't know what the poison is, but there was no sign of poisoning at the time. But after a few years, his bones were black and purple."

"So, are you more sure?" Du Jiuyan said.

King Gui nodded.

"Choose to tell you on the night of your marriage, the timing is really interesting." Du Jiuyan said.

King Gui looked at her and sighed, "If I knew it was you, I wouldn't have left."

"Unfortunately, it wasn't me at the time." Du Jiuyan said flatly.

This is not a joke, nor is it a shirk, King Gui could see Du Jiuyan's seriousness, he frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

"It means literally." Du Jiuyan said: "But now is not the time to talk about it. Let's talk about it later."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the lame man, "Why aren't you surprised?"

King Gui also looked at the lame man.

The cripple sat leaning back, with one hand resting on the table, and he was using his long fingers to fiddle with a round paperweight on the table. He raised his head unhurriedly, looked at the two people and said, "I'm surprised too. Yes, it just didn't show."

King Gui squinted at him, "Who are you?"

"Who I am has nothing to do with the matter you want to investigate, my lord." The cripple said, "My purpose is very clear. At first, I followed Xiaoluobu, and now I am protecting their mother and child."

"Her business is my business, and other people's business has nothing to do with me."

Du Jiuyan expressed admiration, "Master Lame, you are too domineering."

King Gui gave Du Jiuyan a blank look, and said, "Turn your elbows out!"

"They're all from our own family. It's too outlandish for you to say that." Du Jiuyan said with a smile.

King Gui stared at the cripple, "I just ask you a question, and you answer me."

The lame man looked at him.

"Are you protecting Little Carrot because he is Little Carrot, or because he is my son?"

The lame man said, "Because he is your son."

"Understood." King Gui didn't hold on any longer, sat down on the opposite chair, and the room became quiet. Du Jiuyan looked at the two people ambiguously, "You two...do you have any feelings that I don't know about? ?”

Both King Gui and the cripple gave her a blank look.

"But you overstepped." King Gui looked at the lame man, "If you protect my son, protect my son. You can't miss my wife."

The lame man emphasized: "She is not your daughter-in-law."

For people, is the body or the soul more important?Soul of course!
Qin Jiuyan had died a long time ago, and Du Jiuyan in front of her was a brand new and independent person. The only connection between her and Qin Jiuyan was that she borrowed Qin Jiuyan's skin.

In other words, if there is a way to get Du Jiuyan's soul out, she can spend the night in any skin.

Is this "Qin Jiuyan" still Qin Jiuyan?
of course not.

"Why does it feel so strange?" Du Jiuyan waved his hands, "You two, this time it's time for me to go out for a walk and calm down."

As she spoke, she opened the door and went out, strolling leisurely in Prince Huai's mansion. In the backyard, there lived three people, Princess Huai, mother and child, as well as the rescued children.

After the children were frightened, they were very timid, so they were told not to go out. They didn't even go out of the room, and stayed in the room all day long.

Du Jiuyan didn't force it either. For them, building trust in people was the top priority.

She found a place to sit down, but her thoughts were clearer than before.

For this behind-the-scenes person, it feels clearer.

"Mr. Du," Gu Qingshan came in from the outside, Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "What's wrong? The King of Jiujiang is here?"

Gu Qingshan nodded in response, "Mr. Du predicted things like a god, it is indeed the King of Jiujiang who has come, and he has already entered the city."

"Then go and tell your lords." Du Jiuyan said.

Later, Du Jiuyan and King Gui greeted the King of Jiujiang together.King Jiujiang's natal family is Hou Fu of Chengde, Mrs. Ji Tai is his grandmother, and he and Ji Yu are cousins. Strictly speaking, the relationship between Qin Jiuyan and King Jiujiang, regardless of the royal relationship, is from Anguogong's side. Forget it, there is still a bit of a relative relationship.

The king of Jiujiang came on horseback and stopped outside the city with a thousand soldiers and horses.

He was wearing a royal blue long gown. He was about 30 years old. He was not tall and his skin was slightly dark, but he had a very beautiful nose, tall and straight, very dignified.

"King of Jiujiang and His Majesty look very similar." Du Jiuyan and King Gui said, "It seems that you are an outlier among your children."

King Gui gave her a blank look.

"Did the first emperor have a bad birth?" Du Jiuyan asked in a low voice.

King Gui gritted his teeth and said, "My father is very handsome."

"I'm like my father."

Du Jiuyan nodded, "That really isn't very good."

If there were not so many people here, King Gui would have fought with her, so he tried to hold back after thinking about it.

"Mo Xi," the King of Jiujiang jumped off his horse, came over in three or two steps, and hugged King Gui in his arms, "Mo Xi!"

King Gui was hugged, looking very unnatural. He coughed and called out, "Second brother."

"It's grown a lot taller." King Jiujiang touched King Gui's head and said happily, "I remember when I saw you last time, you were not so tall."

Du Jiuyan found that Jiujiang Wang's voice was particularly pleasant, like the chords from a plucked piano, hitting people's hearts, very provocative.

"Last year I heard that you were in Shaoyang, and I never expected to come to my place." King Jiujiang looked at King Gui with a smile overflowing from his eyes.

"Are you too busy to be free?"

King Gui said: "I don't have any serious business." Then he said: "I just don't want to run around. What's more, coming to your place will also cause trouble for you."

King Jiujiang patted King Gui's arm and smiled lightly, "Our Mo Xi has grown up."

King Gui blushed, coughed, and said to him seriously, "Let me introduce you."

He introduced Du Jiuyan, Meng Jiao and the cripple to King Jiujiang.

After the King of Jiujiang, the lame man, and Meng Jiao returned their salutes, they looked at Du Jiuyan with a smile on their faces, "You are the famous litigator Du Jiuyan, you are better known than meeting each other, and have long admired you!"

"My lord, you're being polite. I'm just following the lord's back to make trouble, and to take advantage of him." Du Jiuyan said.

"Mo Xi is very smart," Jiujiang Wang said, "Among us brothers, if you really want to say who is the smartest, Mo Xi is definitely No.1."

Du Jiuyan responded with a smile, "Yes, Lord Gui is indeed very wise."

"Let's talk in the palace." King Gui didn't want to discuss this issue, "Go and see King Huai."

King Jiujiang went to Huai Wang's mansion side by side with him, and the two brothers went to visit Huai Wang. Du Jiuyan didn't go with him, so he went to the Yamen with the lame man and Meng Jiao.

"To tell you the truth, I knew he was doing these things two years ago." King Jiujiang looked at King Huai who was drowsy due to the drug effect, and said regretfully: "I reminded him, and I still have to fight with him for this." There was a big fight, and he ignored me afterwards."

"He thought I would report it to the Holy One..." King Jiujiang glanced at King Gui, seeing that he was expressionless, and continued: "My brother, how could I be willing to put him to death."

"I didn't expect that his things would go too far. If I knew it, I should have tied him up two years ago and sent him back to the capital to be dealt with by the Holy One." Jiujiang Wang said.

King Gui said: "In two years, I don't know how many children have been killed." He looked at King Jiujiang, "Second brother, you shouldn't indulge him."

The King of Jiujiang nodded painfully, "Father has reprimanded me before, saying that I am too benevolent for a woman and not decisive enough in my actions."

"Thinking about it now, Emperor Father knows me best."

King Gui didn't say anything.

The two brothers sat with King Huai for an afternoon, and then went to visit Princess Huai.

When we were having dinner at night, everyone was sitting at the same table. The King of Jiujiang asked, "I am also responsible for this matter. King Huai is so close to me, but I did not supervise him well. I will go back to Beijing with you to plead guilty."

"Then you can report to the sage." King Gui didn't object.

Jiujiang and Ji'an are indeed very close, and Jiujiang Wang went back to explain, which is reasonable.

"My lord," Du Jiuyan looked at the King of Jiujiang, "I would like to ask, how many children do you have?"

The King of Jiujiang replied: "I have three sons and two daughters, one main concubine and two side concubines."

"What questions does Mr. Du have?" Jiujiang Wang asked.

Du Jiuyan said: "That's right, King Anshan and Prince Huai both had a child who got lost when they were very young."

"Do you think there's something strange about it?" King Jiujiang asked her.

Du Jiuyan didn't speak.

"I didn't," Jiujiang Wang said, "A few years ago, a son died young, but it was only six months old. He died of illness, and I buried it with my own hands."

Du Jiuyan nodded, "I'll just ask. Please forgive me, my lord."

Jiujiang Wangdao: "I know what you mean. This time someone is instigating a civil uprising, and you suspect that there are others behind the scenes, right?"

Du Jiuyan nodded.

"I was thinking about this on the way here. It's really strange." King Jiujiang said, "What clues did you get?"

Du Jiuyan shook his head, "Not yet."

"My lord," while he was talking, Han Dang came in with a letter and handed it to King Gui, "It was sent to the government office from the courier shop."

King Gui opened it up and looked at it, and immediately frowned.

Everyone looked at him, waiting for him to speak.

"There were riots in Tingzhou, Kaifeng and Guangping." King Gui said.

Kaifeng is in the Central Plains, Tingzhou belongs to Fujian, and Guangping is close to Shandong. Why did riots happen in three unrelated places at the same time?
Du Jiuyan asked, "What's the reason?"

　My back hurts these days, and I can’t sit still at all. My old arms, old legs, and waist, hahahaha!
