After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Tianshu's voice saved the guilty big dog. Lin Xun withdrew his gaze and said "hmm" lightly.

Tianshu suddenly smiled and said, "We are really destined to meet this Miss Xiao. We can meet each other everywhere."

Lin Xun didn't say anything, but Tianshu was always talkative, and he kept talking to himself, "It's really interesting to talk about it. People in Kyoto said that the third prince and the eldest daughter of the Xiao family were childhood sweethearts, and they were a perfect match. Unexpectedly, the third prince had a tryst with a strange girl today. People in Kyoto said that the eldest daughter was infatuated with the third prince, but she caught her fiancé having an affair with another woman, but she didn't cry or make a fuss, instead she plotted behind his back."

Tianshu was a martial artist. He listened to what Xiao Xuetang had just said to Uncle Wu. He couldn't help but grin and said, "This is really... not an engaged couple at all, it's almost like they were enemies in their previous lives!"

"What past life enemy?"

An idler suddenly lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that who else could be close to the Regent's carriage except Qi Yusheng!

"My carriage broke down after I came back from court. I'm too lazy to ride a horse, so you can give me a ride."

"Not on my way."

Qi Yusheng was flattering, but Lin Xun rejected her ruthlessly.

Tianshu also said: "Sir Shaoqing, we are not going back to the palace today, but to Shuiyunju to see the old princess."

"It just so happens that I haven't been to Shuiyunju to pay my respects to the old princess for a long time."

Qi Yusheng said this readily and squeezed forward.

Qi Yusheng heard a woof and saw the big wolfhound lying beside him. He was startled and asked, "Why did you bring this little ancestor out?"

Having said that, he did not dare to move forward and could only sit down on the edge of the carriage.

The dog raised by Lin Xun is as domineering as other dogs. It never likes to get close to anyone except Lin Xun.

Although he sat next to the carriage, Qi Yusheng still couldn't change his gossipy nature and asked, "I just heard you mention the Xiao family outside. Did you go to Yong'an Marquis' Mansion again?"

The last time Qi Yusheng felt that there was something wrong with Lin Xun's expression when he came back from the Marquis' Mansion, he keenly smelled the scent of adultery!

Tianshu was about to tell Qi Yusheng what happened on the street, but he was interrupted by Lin Xun coldly: "These days, all the noble families have come to Kyoto, and the situation is chaotic. Everyone in the Inspection Office should be alert."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yusheng changed his lazy attitude and said solemnly, "The inspection office has been investigating the matter of those herbs these days. I haven't offended anyone."

Jingzhou won a great victory this time, but the casualties were very heavy, probably because some people at the border maliciously raised the price of herbal medicine, making it impossible for many seriously injured soldiers to receive timely treatment.

Originally thinking that this was just a simple case of collusion between officials and businessmen, taking advantage of the war to rob, Lin Xun also swiftly executed a group of officials related to it, but the matter was far from as simple as it seemed.

Lin Xun did not alarm Emperor Yonghui about this matter, but only asked Qi Yusheng to investigate it secretly.

During these days, Qi Yusheng had mobilized all the power of the Jijianyuan, but there was not much progress until a secret letter sealed with wax was delivered to the Tongxuan Ji built by the Jijianyuan in the West Market!

"Miss, what is Tongxuankui and Kuijianyuan? What does it do?"

In the ancestral hall, Xiao Xuetang originally wanted Qiyue to go back and rest, but Qiyue stayed to accompany Xiao Xuetang to copy the family rules.

The summer night breeze is blowing, and the air is filled with the fragrance of jasmine, which is quite refreshing.

There were perpetual lamps lit in the ancestral hall. Xiao Xuetang did not obediently copy the family rules as Xiao Yi had expected, but instead took a book and read it.

It's a perfume book.

Hearing Qiyue's curious question, Xiao Xuetang first explained the origin of the Inspection Office.

"The current emperor ascended the throne after a great chaos. The quality of officials in the court is uneven, and the system is in need of reconstruction. In order to open up the channels for people to express their opinions and reach the heaven, the regent established the Jishiyuan and established the Jijian system."

"On the four streets of Kyoto, there were letter-dropping points for people to submit their grievances."

"He is known for his ability to redress the grievances of the world and to express the feelings of all people!"

During these five years, the situation in Kyoto had already undergone tremendous changes. Even Xiao Yi probably only thought that the Jinjianyuan was just a favorite of the current emperor, and had no idea of ​​how powerful the Jinjianyuan was.

It is not to support the powerful, but to redress the grievances of the common people, and... to collect some very important information for the court.

Xiao Xuetang used a pseudonym to pass on the message to the Jijianyuan, and also intended to show goodwill to the Jijianyuan. At the most critical moment, the Jijianyuan might be able to become her life-saving talisman.

After all, Qi Yusheng, the Shaoqing of the Imperial Censorate, may seem cynical, but he is actually a very fair and good official. He rewards people according to their merits and repays favors.

Xiao Xuetang knew that Qi Yusheng would be in big trouble soon, and her identity as an anonymous messenger was also a foreshadowing of what would happen a few months later.

However, this is Xiao Xuetang's last trump card. Xiao Xuetang will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary. After all...

Xiao Xuetang knew clearly that the man behind the censorship office was someone she could not afford to offend.

A pair of deep, cold eyes appeared in Xiao Xuetang's mind.

Seeing Xiao Xuetang suddenly freeze there, Qiyue called her several times, and Xiao Xuetang finally came back to her senses...

He continued, "The imperial court established a system of inspections. To make it easier to distinguish, the blue one is the Yan'en Box, which is used for talented people to recommend themselves; the white one is the Shenyuan Box, which is used for the people to seek redress; and the black one is the Tongxuan Box, which is used to receive suggestions and advice as well as... information about spies and rebels in the city!"

"A spy or a rebel?"

Qiyue gasped, looking horrified!

"Some time ago, the Criminal Prosecution Office received that secret letter. I have arranged for people to keep an eye on Kyoto Baicaotang and several other pharmacies."

"Baicaotang?"

A subtle gleam flashed in Lin Xun's eyes, and Qi Yusheng approached Lin Xun and said mysteriously, "Do you still remember the conversation between the two girls in Yong'an Marquis' Mansion that day? That Miss Xiao seemed to know something. Do you want to invite her to the inspection office for a cup of tea and a good chat..."

Here, Qi Yusheng's seal fell, and Tianshu, who was driving the carriage, suddenly stopped and almost threw Qi Yusheng out.

The Shaoqing steadied himself rather awkwardly and said dissatisfiedly, "Tianshu, what are you doing?"

Tianshu chuckled twice, wiped the two non-existent drops of sweat on his forehead, and thought to himself, I'm saving your life.

Lin Xun's deep phoenix eyes flashed with a thoughtful look. Qi Yusheng, who was standing beside him, could not tell anything from his face. He sat up straight and said, "Not to mention that you have already returned to Kyoto. Could it be that there are still some blind people who want to take over the inspection office?"

Lin Xun glanced at Qi Yusheng calmly without saying anything. Tianshu, who was driving the carriage outside, whispered, "Sir Shaoqing, have you forgotten about the assassination of the prince?"

Qi Yusheng added: "The assassination of your master was not caused by the remnants of the assassins in the north, what does it have to do with Kyoto..."

Qi Yusheng was so smart. When he said this, he suddenly shuddered and sat up straight in an instant, saying, "Could it be possible that someone in Kyoto is colluding with the north?"

As he was talking, he heard the voice of the secret guard outside, saying: "Sir, someone from the West Market sent a secret letter. The content on it is related to the North. I dare not act on my own..."

As he spoke, he personally handed a secret letter to Qi Yusheng.

It was a secret letter sealed with red wax.
