After saying that, the man dressed in black left here, and after walking a few steps along the street, he looked left and right, and saw that there was no one, so he hurriedly took off the black clothes, rolled them up in a mess, and did not know where to throw them

"General Chi, it's time to eat. ”

Chi Zhongtian, who was lying on the bed, suddenly heard a voice outside.

"Just come!" Chi Zhongtian agreed casually, quickly tidied up his clothes, and then walked out.

When he came to the main hall of the mansion, the king was already waiting there, and Chi Zhongtian hurriedly walked over and saluted, and then said: "Lord, you can eat first, why wait for me." ”

"Hey, it's not interesting to eat alone, come, this king will accompany you to have a few drinks, see how sad you have been these days, people are out of shape. The king said with a smile, and then brought a jar of wine from the table, ready to fill the pool with heaven.

Chi Zhongtian dared to ask King Zun to pour him wine, so he quickly grabbed it, first poured a full cup for King Zun, and then added it to himself.

"Zhongtian, since the matter has happened, it is useless to be sentimental, don't forget the purpose of our trip, that is the most important thing. The king raised his glass and said meaningfully.

"Lord, don't worry, I know this. Chi Zhongtian replied.

"Okay, when are you going to let this king go first?" asked the king.

"How about tomorrow morning?"

"It's up to you!"

"Come, this cup of wine, this king respects you!" the king finished speaking, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Chi Zhongtian said politely, and then drank dry.

Since he came out to walk the rivers and lakes, the amount of alcohol in Chi Zhongtian has been getting bigger and bigger day by day.

"Don't forget what you said, if you delay for three days at most, this king will be waiting for you in Luzhou!" said with a smile.

"Lord Wang, I will definitely not make a mistake, I have already written the letter, after you arrive in Luzhou, just find someone to follow what I said and send this letter over." As he spoke, Chi Zhongtian took out a letter from his cuff and handed it to the king.

The king didn't look at it, so he put it directly into his arms, and still told him uneasily: "Zhongtian, there are no outsiders here, this king has a few words, and I want to tell you." ”

"Lord Wang, please speak, I will listen to you. ”

"Well, one of them is this Guo Ming, although he is a little awkward in borrowing the boat, but the culprit of this matter is not him after all, you can scare and scare him, but you can't be impulsive, don't forget, he is a naval general appointed by the imperial court, and he can't move easily. ”

After hearing this, Chi Zhongtian immediately nodded and said: "I understand this, I am also in a hurry, besides, in the final analysis, he also has to bear a little responsibility for this matter, if he was willing to borrow a boat at that time, the warship of the navy, I am afraid that no water bandit dares to make an idea." ”

"That's what I said, but you can bear it or bear with it, even if you really want to punish him, you have to wait for the third prince to come back, return to the capital to the Ming Sheng, and let the Holy go up. The King continued.

Chi Zhongtian knew that when King Zun said this, it was actually for his good, so he nodded happily.

"Also, I know that the owner of the ship is related to the prefect of Shunqing Mansion, if you find out, then you can deal with it, but if there is no real evidence, it is best not to act rashly, especially not to easily involve Jiang Xianda, he is a prefect after all, and this relationship between China is very delicate. ”

Chi Zhongtian nodded and said: "Lord Wang, I will definitely deal with this carefully, the owner of the ship is indeed suspicious, I must find out, and the corpses of those water bandits, I also sent someone to inform Guo Ming and let him salvage them, tomorrow I will send the prince off first, and then, I will go to see those corpses and see if I can find some clues." ”

"Well, anyway, you just need to be careful. After listening to Chi Zhongtian's arrangement, King Zun felt relieved, so he didn't talk about anything serious.

This wine was drunk until the end of the hour, and after it was over, the king went back to rest, and Chi Zhongtian, after sobering up for a while, came to the residence of the petty officers, and told them some things one by one, and then, he went to the place where the disciples of Hanye Valley lived, I don't know what they talked about, anyway, it was not until the second half of the night that Chi Zhongtian left.

After dawn, Chi Zhongtian first arranged for people to wait for King Zun to dress and wash, and then asked Jiang Xianda to prepare a few carriages, and after King Zun had eaten, Chi Zhongtian, Jiang Xianda and Guo Ming escorted King Zun all the way to the West Gate, until a few miles outside the West Gate, did not continue to send.

Although Jiang Xianda and Guo Ming were very strange at this time, Chi Zhongtian Weishenme did not follow along, but they could understand with a little use of their brains, it seems that they have not passed this level.

After seeing off the king, Chi Zhongtian immediately returned to the palace, and then without delay, he asked Fuzi to be brought to the house where he lived. In the past few days, Fuzi has been staying in the backyard of the mansion, although he has not been tortured, and three meals a day are delivered on time, but he looks much thinner than a few days ago, presumably due to excessive worry.

As soon as he entered the door, as soon as Fuzi saw Chi Zhongtian, he immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in a crying voice: "General Chi, the villain is wronged, the villain is wronged!"

Chi Zhongtian was taken aback by his actions, and quickly asked, "What are you doing here?"

"General, I know that you won't let me go home, do you think that I colluded with the bandits and conspired to kill everyone!" Fuzi said with tears in his eyes.

Chi Zhongtian just wanted to open his mouth to comfort him a few words first, but after thinking about it, he changed his words and said, "Well, there is this idea." ”

"Ahh

"I ask you a few things, and you have to answer them truthfully. Chi Zhongtian said as he sat on a chair.

"Yes, yes, General Chi, just ask! If I have a lie, my whole family will not die well!"

This blessing may have been really scared, and when he swore an oath, he brought his family with him.

Chi Zhongtian listened to his oath, quickly waved his hand to stop him, and then asked, "Let me ask you, how did your boat leak?"

"Back to the General's Words"

"Don't pay attention to these etiquette, just answer!" Chi Zhongtian shouted.

"Yes, yes, it was good, but while paddling, a few small holes appeared under the boat, and then the water poured in, and at first I had people go to block the hole, but I couldn't stop it!" replied Fukuko.
