Money and power blinded his eyes. He began to kill innocent people indiscriminately and eliminate dissidents, and gradually... he was getting further and further away from what Deng Tianyou was pursuing.
Deng Tianyou asked: "What do you want to say?"
"I think this poem is enough to prove everything," Qin Zhao said calmly, "Whether you believe it or not, I have never forgotten what I said back then."
This is also the reason why Deng Tianyou was still willing to come alone even though he knew that Qin Zhao was deliberately luring him into a trap.
If this person really wanted to rebel, he would not have participated in the imperial examination so openly, nor would he have deliberately used a poem to meet him when he had a clear opportunity to avoid him, the governor.
So, is there another possibility that what happened back then was actually just a misunderstanding?
Could it be that... this person is not what he thought he was?
I have to admit that the moment I saw the poem, this possibility occupied all of Deng Tianyou's thoughts.
Or rather, he was willing to believe this possibility.
Even if it's only one in ten thousand.
Deng Tianyou didn't answer, but Qin Zhao saw the hesitation in his eyes.
He still looked calm and composed, and leisurely raised the teacup in his hand: "Looks like we can continue drinking this cup of tea?"
.
It's late at night.
Ah Qi had no idea where he had gone. A small koi fish jumped across the corridor and slid silently into the drainage ditch beside the yard.
He leaned his head forward, but could only see the flickering candlelight in the study from afar, and could not hear what was being said inside.
Why haven't we finished chatting yet?
Jingli wagged his tail anxiously.
Qin Zhao had been chatting with the governor for almost an hour. Even the little fish, who had wanted to wait until his father came back to tell him stories, finally fell asleep with his little quilt in his arms, but the man still didn't come back.
If it was fine in the past, but Qin Zhao's fever just subsided, how could he withstand such a ordeal?
What on earth was that Deng guy talking about while pulling Qin Zhao aside?
Jing Li was getting tired of waiting in the room, but he didn't dare to come over to disturb the other party's business, so he could only change into his original form and sneak over to take a look.
He waited in the yard for half an hour before he saw the study door being opened.
Qin Zhao was the first to step out of the room and warned, "You and I know what happened today, so don't tell anyone else."
"I understand, don't worry." Deng Tianyou nodded.
Qin Zhao seemed to have talked too much tonight. When the wind outside blew, he bent over and coughed repeatedly.
The distinguished governor beside him hurriedly helped the man steady himself, saying humbly, "Your condition... I know a few famous doctors. I'll have them take a look at you when we get to the capital."
"We'll talk about it later." Qin Zhao finally stopped coughing and waved his hand, "I've already taken a risk by bringing you here. The current situation doesn't warrant any further complications."
Deng Tianyou sighed heavily: "That's right, I'll do as you say."
Qin Zhao walked Deng Tianyou to the door, watched him leave, and then closed the door and walked back. Just as he passed the courtyard, he accidentally saw a familiar figure in the ditch.
A small koi fish lay there, looking up at him quietly.
Qin Zhao paused.
There should be no expression on the face of a small fish, but Qin Zhao suddenly felt a hint of chill.
He just said... I guess he didn't say anything wrong, right?
"Little...little fish?"
There was a rare hint of guilt in Qin Zhao's voice. The next second, the little koi fish flicked its tail, jumped out of the ditch, and headed towards the backyard without looking back.
Qin Zhao: "..."
