People always think I'm a broken sleeve

Qiu Qingxi stood in the torture room in a daze for a long time.

It wasn't until An Heqing and the two chief judges from Taiqing Court appeared in the execution room that Qiu Qingxi regained his composure belatedly.

Seeing Qiu Qingxi looking down at his palms and standing motionless in the execution room, An Heqing couldn't help calling out in doubt, "...Master Shaoqing?"

Only then did Qiu Qingxi come back to his senses.

An Heqing looked in the direction of Qiu Qingxi's palm, and subconsciously asked, "What happened to Master Shaoqing's hand?"

Qiu Qingxi shrank his hands, thinking of something, his expression became a little unnatural.

Qiu Qingxi: "No problem."

An Heqing's expression seemed to understand.

Qiu Qingxi said lightly: "Didn't Lord Jiuqing order you to continue interrogating him? What are you still doing standing here?"

An Heqing stood up obediently, "Yes, I will go immediately!"

Qiu Qingxi turned and left.

As soon as Qiu Qingxi left, An Heqing, who stayed in the execution room, looked at Jia Chongming, who was kneeling on the ground with tears and snot all over his face, and couldn't help sighing with his long beard.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being Lord Jiuqing——

Mr. Shaoqing has been interrogating for so many days, but he has not been able to make Mr. Guowei speak, but Mr. Jiuqing has only been here for half a day. Not only did Mr. Guowei fully confess, but he even interrogated this

Governor Jia, who is bold and colludes with local officials.

An Heqing sighed repeatedly in his heart.

He stepped forward with squinted eyes and smiled, squatted down, and said, "Lord Jia, let's make a long story short. If you dare to fool me...don't blame me for being rude~"

Jia Chongming's body trembled, his eyes frightened.

Back to Su Bian.

Su Bian originally planned to go home after Jia Chongming's interrogation.But as soon as he stepped out of the Taiqing Courtyard, he immediately changed his mind.

Now that it is just close to the emperor's bedroom, instead of going to ask the emperor for orders tomorrow when he goes to court, it is better to just drop by and go directly to the emperor to settle the matter.

Take leave earlier and go to Huai'an earlier.

This troublesome matter will be resolved sooner.

After thinking about it, Su Bian turned around and walked towards Qianqing Palace.

Although Su Bian didn't know the way, he should know the way after walking for several months.After a while, Su Bian soon arrived.

Su Bian called a young eunuch and asked, "Where is the emperor now?"

The little eunuch replied in a low voice: "My lord, the emperor is at the library."

Library Pavilion?Su Bian raised his eyebrows.

Su Bian said: "Take me there."

The little eunuch answered yes.

Zangshu Pavilion is not far away, after following the little eunuch for a while, we arrived.

The door of Zangshu Pavilion was closed tightly, and it was very quiet.

If it weren't for the line of maids and eunuchs standing outside the door, it would almost make people think that there was no one in the house.

The little eunuch stepped forward, "Your Majesty, Lord Jiuqing is asking to see you."

After the little eunuch finished speaking, he heard a loud bang in the Library Pavilion, as if some heavy object fell to the ground.Before Su Bian could figure out what the sound was, two seconds later, Emperor Jin had a look on his face.

He rushed out of the house excitedly, and grabbed Su Bian's hand.

In fact, Emperor Jin was actually planning to rush towards Su Bian.

but……

Su Bian hid him.

Emperor Jin grabbed Su Bian's hand, tears welling up in his eyes: "Aiqing finally remembered the shock—"

Su Bian opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the excited Emperor Jin.

Emperor Jin: "Wooooow, I thought Aiqing had forgotten about me! It made me sad for a long time!"

Su Bian: "..."

Emperor Jin: "If I don't go to Aiqing, won't Aiqing come to me? Why is Aiqing so ungrateful? Does Aiqing know that I have been waiting in the palace for a long time!"

Su Bian: "..."

The more he listened to it, the more weird it became.

Emperor Jin: "It's not fun in the palace at all... the group of maids and eunuchs spend the whole day except one mouthful and one emperor, you have to go to approve the papers, or one mouthful and one Taiwei is coming, your majesty!

Have you finished copying the Four Books and Five Classics...Wow—"

Su Bian: "..."

Emperor Jin: "I sneaked out of the palace a few days ago and was going to play with Aiqing, but before I left the palace, I was caught by Ji Yixiao, who killed a thousand swords... and then - there is no more...

... "

Emperor Jin bowed his head, feeling depressed.

It is self-evident what it means for him to be in Zangshu Pavilion now.

He is going to abdicate! ! !

——Being an emperor is not fun at all! ! ! !

But immediately, Emperor Jin cheered up quickly.

Emperor Jin raised his head, looked at Su Bian with bright eyes, and said energetically: "Why did Zhuang Aiqing come to Zangshu Pavilion to find me? Are you going to take me out of the palace to play? Isn't it?

"

Emperor Jin looked excited, and there seemed to be a dog's tail behind him, swaying non-stop.

Su Bian: "No."

Emperor Jin was frustrated: "What is that..."

Su Bian: "Let go."

Emperor Jin: "Huh?"

Su Bian lowered his gaze, meaning something.

Emperor Jin lowered his eyes, and then, amidst Su Bian's slightly darkened face, he couldn't help touching the back of Su Bian's smooth hand.

Su Bian: "..."

Su Bian's face darkened three times in an instant.

In the next second, Su Bian said without any hesitation, "Weichen resigns."

Emperor Jin: "I was wrong! I won't touch casually anymore! Aiqing, don't go—"

Emperor Jin reached out and grabbed the corner of Su Bian's clothes.

After Su Bian stood still, Emperor Jin blinked, "Didn't Aiqing have something to do with me? Even if you want to leave, you have to finish talking before leaving, right?"

Su Bian looked back at Emperor Jin.

Emperor Jin hurriedly let go, and blinked innocently at Su Bian.

... Hehe, as long as Zhuang Aiqing can stay here with him, it's easy to say anything.

Su Bian stared at Emperor Jin silently for two seconds.

Two seconds later, he turned around and stepped into the Library Pavilion.

Su Bian likes to make long stories short.

After the Emperor Jin followed into the Zangshu Pavilion, Su Bian went straight to the point, saying, "The case of Chi's extermination of the family is quite strange. It may be related to Shi County Magistrate of Huai'an County. I have to go to Huai'an County."

Ann. "

Emperor Jin didn't even think about it, "It's enough for the governor to spy on this kind of thing, and Zhuang Aiqing doesn't need to go there in person."

Su Bian was expressionless: "Master Qiu sent the governor to Huai'an to conduct a secret investigation before, but he didn't know that Mr. Jia took bribes and colluded with the local officials, and he did not report it."

Emperor Jin frowned and thought about it.

Emperor Jin: "Master Jia that Zhuang Aiqing mentioned is Jia Chongming?"

Su Bian: "Exactly."

Emperor Jin was shocked, "It's unreasonable. I just said that he, a mere governor, didn't get so much money! This guy even lied to me that he picked it up from the road-deceive the king, and the crime will be aggravated! Come on!"

man! "

Emperor Jin just wanted to kill Jia Chongming, but was stopped by Su Bian.

Su Bian: "Hold on, Your Majesty."

Emperor Jin looked puzzled, "Why? This Jia Chongming deceived the emperor and colluded with local officials. Even if he punished the nine clans, it would be light."

Su Bian: "When he confesses everything, it won't be too late to deal with it."

Emperor Jin suddenly realized, "That's right."

What if Jia Chongming colluded with more than just a county magistrate in Huai'an?If this is the way to punish the Nine Clans, it would be impossible to know.

Emperor Jin laughed: "It's still Zhuang Aiqing's thoughtful thinking."

Su Bian continued in a deep voice: "This time I am going to Huai'an, and I hope the emperor will announce that I am sick and recuperating in the mansion. In case Huai'an gets the news in advance, I have already prepared."

Although Emperor Jin had few tendons, he still knew it.

And even if we don't talk about Huai'an, the officials here have been dissatisfied with Su Bian for a long time. If they know that Su Bian has gone to Huai'an and is not in the capital, they don't know what to do.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jin suddenly worried about Su Bian's safety.

Emperor Jin hesitated: "Couldn't Master Qiu go instead of Zhuang Aiqing in person?"

Su Bian looked indifferent, "This case seems to be related to Mr. Qiu. Mr. Qiu has lost his composure repeatedly, so he should no longer be involved in this case."

Emperor Jin pouted, a little depressed: "But what if there are thieves assassinating on the road? Zhuang Aiqing doesn't know martial arts..."

Emperor Jin was worried.

Su Bian didn't take it seriously.

Su Bian: "The emperor can send two guards with high martial arts skills to accompany him."

Emperor Jin did not hesitate: "Then I will send Mr. Jiang!"

After finishing speaking, he said no again.

Jiang Heyue was the personal bodyguard of Emperor Jin, and if he suddenly disappeared, the ministers in the court would inevitably become suspicious.

Emperor Jin frowned and thought about it.

Strong martial arts...

Xuanyue?no.

He has not been cleared of suspicion yet, so he cannot leave the capital.

Admiral Chang Huai? ... no.

Even if he is blind, he can tell that Chang Huai just doesn't like Zhuang Aiqing.

No.

To be precise, it should be that [-]% of the ministers in the DPRK dislike Zhuang Aiqing.

Strong martial arts...

And there must be no quarrel with Zhuang Aiqing...

If you don't go to court for a long time, no one will suspect...

Emperor Jin thought for a while, and felt that there was only the prime minister.

Emperor Jin said: "How about I send the prime minister and Zhuang Aiqing to go together?"

The word prime minister made Su Bian jump.

Between the prime minister and Jiuqing, he is clear about who is higher and who is lower.

But that's not the point.

These days, although he has not had any contact with Long Jingying, he is aware of the latter's alienation and inhumanity.

Su Bian: "The emperor is sure that the prime minister will agree?"

Emperor Jin immediately shook his head, "Not sure."

Su Bian: "..."

Emperor Jin: "I can't think of any other reliable candidates...Anyway...Anyway, a dead horse is a living horse doctor."

Su Bian understood.

Su Bian thought of something, and said again: "If the prime minister really agrees, will the minister protect the prime minister, or the prime minister protect the minister?"

Su Bian couldn't imagine the lonely and cold Long Jingying protecting him.

That aside.

It's too ridiculous for a prime minister with one person under ten thousand to protect a mere... Taiqingyuan Jiuqing.

After Su Bian finished speaking, Emperor Jin shook his head again.

Emperor Jin: "I don't know."

Su Bian: "..."

……

The two were silent for a while.

After a while, Su Bian regained his voice.

Su Bian: "Is there any other candidates for the emperor?"

Emperor Jin: "No, I can't think of it."

Su Bian: "..."

Seeing that Su Bian was silent again, Emperor Jin comforted him: "Although the prime minister looks cold and heartless, in fact, the prime minister is cold on the outside and... cold on the inside."

For some reason, Emperor Jin couldn't say that hot word that was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

...silence again.
