People always think I'm a broken sleeve

Both carriages have been torn apart and are no longer usable.

He raised his eyes to look at the road ahead, and then looked back at the back. It was deserted and empty.

Su Bian raised his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, feeling a little headache.

Su Bian asked, "How far is it from the county seat?"

Yan Ruyu thought about it for a while, and said, "It's almost half an hour's walk."

Half an hour or an hour is still acceptable.

After thinking about it, Su Bian cupped his hands and said to Long Jingying: "Then wronged Lord Qiantui and walked for a while."

Long Jingying responded lightly, with a calm expression.

Before Su Bian finished speaking, Xuan Yue, who was lying on Su Bian's shoulder, was dissatisfied, "I will go with you later, why don't you tell me your grievances."

Xuanyue tastes sour, every word has a full sour taste.

Su Bian replied without even thinking about it: "Master Guowei is now the body to be punished, so where does the word grievance come from?"

The implication is: just now let you take a carriage is not bad.

Xuan Yue felt depressed, opened his mouth and bit Su Bian's neck.

It didn't take much effort, but it still made teeth marks.

A vein twitched on Su Bian's forehead, and his complexion suddenly became ugly.

Su Bian said word by word: "National Wei Da Ren."

Seeing that Su Bian seemed to be angry, Xuan Yue immediately let go of his hand obediently, bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I was wrong."

Su Bian's face darkened, and he didn't want to speak again.

——Xuan Yue should switch places with Shi Wen and lock him up!

Long Jingying looked at the conspicuous tooth marks on Su Bian's neck calmly, then turned her head and looked at Xuan Yue silently.

Xuan Yue chuckled, his eyes were full of provocation.

Xuan Yue's actions just now were naturally intentional.

Let Yayin tell Long Jingying who this Lord Jiuqing really belongs to.

At the same time, she also warned Long Jingying—don't let Xiao think about things that don't belong to her.

After half an hour, I finally arrived at the county seat.

Su Bian was about to take a breath, but in the next second, his body stopped.

The appearance of Long Jingying and Xuan Yue was so eye-catching that the people in the county all looked in their direction in unison.

The woman blushed and her heart beat, while the man's eyes were dull.

If it weren't for the fact that the yamen guards were holding a group of bandits in front of them, and they looked terribly tight, someone would have come to strike up a conversation.

I planned to rest in the county for a while, but it seems that's all.

Su Bian called: "Yan Ruyu."

Yan Ruyu stepped forward in response, "Yes."

Su Bian said: "Take the money to buy two carriages and some dry food, and then hurry back to Beijing."

Yan Ruyu said yes, and retreated with the money.

Yan Ruyu quickly returned with the carriage and dry food.

Naturally, Su Bian still rode in the same carriage with Long Jingying.

And Xuan Yue was still the same as before, staying alone in the carriage, with two yamen guards watching over him.

Although the two yamen servants were nominally watching Xuan Yue to prevent Xuan Yue from escaping, if Xuan Yue really thought of running away, even the three-legged cat skills of those two yamen servants would not be able to stop him.

.

Xuan Yue quietly watched Su Bian and Long Jingying get into the carriage, twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled.It's just that there is no smile in the eyes.

Then, under the eyes of the two trembling yamen servants, he slowly opened the curtain and got into the carriage.

By sending Shi Wen to the capital for execution earlier, he would have saved himself unnecessary trouble earlier.

Therefore, in order to settle the case earlier, Su Bian hurried all the way without sleep, and after nearly half a month of driving, he finally arrived in the capital.

Probably due to being away from Beijing for too long, Su Bian stared at the city gates not far away, feeling as if he had passed away.

Shi Wen on the other side stared at the city gate in front of him, his face was gray and his eyes were full of despair.

But Qin Ye, on the day he colluded with Shi Wen, he had already expected such a day.It's just that the only thing he regrets is that after so many years, he has not been able to convince Liu Ruodai to be with her.

He gets married.

But after thinking about it, thinking that Liu Ruodai is still alive, he is enough.

When the carriage arrived at the city gate, the city gate guard stepped forward and stopped the carriage.

Before the gate guard could speak, Yan Ruyu outside the carriage took a look at the guard, and without saying a word, he took out the customs clearance order bestowed by Emperor Jin from his chest and handed it over.

The guard stared at the golden pass token in front of him, and was startled, and immediately retreated respectfully with his hands clasped.

Su Bian and his party entered the city gate, and it didn't take long before the news spread to the palace.

Emperor Jin, who was idly picking his feet in the imperial garden, heard the news of Su Bian's return to the palace, stood up excitedly, and hurriedly asked: "Zhuang Aiqing is really back?"

Shunde lowered his head and bowed in response: "Return to the emperor, it is absolutely true."

After hearing this, Emperor Jin couldn't hold back all of a sudden, turned around and ran away.Going to find Su Bian.

Su Bian left the palace, oh no, he has been sick at the mansion for nearly a month, and Emperor Jin is bored.

That guy Ji Yixiao doesn't force him to critique papers anymore, doesn't force him to go to court every day, and doesn't force him to copy Lao Shizi's Four Books and Five Classics. He has nothing to do and wants to find someone to play with, but the only thing he can find is

Su Bian was not there.

Emperor Jin thought about Su Bian very hard, but he finally came back from this meeting.

On the other side, Su Bian soon arrived outside the Donghua Gate.

Because there was no amnesty, Su Bian had to get out of the carriage and walk in with the government officials and bandits on foot.

Of course, there is no need for Xuan Yue and Long Jingying.

Su Bian opened the curtain and got out of the carriage. In the distance, the Emperor Jin who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe rushed towards him excitedly.

The Emperor Jin said with tears in his eyes: "Zhuang Aiqing can be considered to be back, I'm so lucky to wait—"

Su Bian watched Emperor Jin's movements, his eyelids twitched, and he stepped back half a step, ready to dodge immediately.

Unexpectedly, before Su Bian raised his foot, he saw an unsheathed long sword suddenly lying in front of Emperor Jin, stopping him.

Su Bian was taken aback, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sword.Looking up, I saw Long Jingying also got out of the carriage at some point, standing quietly beside him, with the same expression as before, calm

Calmly.

The figure of Long Jingying appeared in front of him unexpectedly, and Emperor Jin was stunned for a moment.

Not only the Emperor Jin, but also Shunde who followed behind him was taken aback.

Ever since the death of the first emperor, Long Jingying seemed to have isolated herself from the world and her emotions and desires. No matter what happened, she always watched with cold eyes and remained indifferent.Even the affairs of the DPRK and China are no longer interfering

.

But now...

Shunde stared at the scene where Long Jingying stopped the Emperor Jin, his eyes suddenly became extremely complicated.

Shunde has only seen Long Jingying's behavior on one person.

But that person is already dead.

As soon as Long Jingying appeared, Emperor Jin was like a wilted day lily, all the excitement and excitement just now disappeared without a trace, nothing left.

Emperor Jin whispered softly: "Prime...Prime Minister..."

Long Jingying looked down at Emperor Jin with a blank expression.

Emperor Jin should be the only emperor who was so aggrieved and ignored by the prime minister for many years.

Being ignored again, although Emperor Jin had long been accustomed to it, he was still depressed and wronged.

He...he doesn't want to be emperor...

Long Jingying completely ignored the Jin Emperor, and Su Bian bowed to one side, lowered his head, and called respectfully: "See the emperor."

As soon as Su Bian spoke, Emperor Jin changed his frustration and depression just now, and became happy again.

It is Zhuang Aiqing who wins my heart the most!

Emperor Jin said happily: "Aiqing is free of courtesy."

After Jin Emperor's words fell, Su Bian slowly straightened up and withdrew his hands.

Emperor Jin smiled and was about to walk over, but before he lifted his foot, he saw Long Jingying standing quietly beside Su Bian with a cold face.

All of a sudden, the happy smile on Emperor Jin's face turned into frustration again.

Then, dare not go forward again.

Although Long Jingying didn't bother much about court affairs now, Emperor Jin was still very afraid of Long Jingying.

Long Jingying had never done anything to Emperor Jin.

However, the invisible oppressive aura emanating from Long Jingying's body made Long Jingying stand there and do nothing, which was enough to scare people.

Su Bian calmly looked at Emperor Jin who was standing there hesitantly, wanted to step forward but dared not, and said in a deep voice: "I still need to send the criminal to the Taiqing Court for interrogation, and I'm afraid I can't get along with him right now."

The emperor is here to reminisce about the past.Waiting for the minister to handle everything properly, he will go to the palace and report everything to the emperor. "

When Emperor Jin heard Su Bian said that the matter had been dealt with, he went into the palace to play with him (?), and his dejected and depressed face suddenly changed into a smile.

Emperor Jin said happily: "Then Aiqing, let's go now! I will wait in the palace."

Su Bian cupped his hands and saluted again, then turned to look at Long Jingying, and said indifferently: "Thank you, Lord Qiantui, for escorting me all the way, so that this official was safe and sound, and I am very grateful."

After finishing the sentence, before Long Jingying could answer, she turned her gaze to Yan Ruyu who was standing quietly beside her.

Su Bian called: "Yan Ruyu."

Yan Ruyu stepped forward: "Here~"

Su Bian said: "Send Lord Qiantui back to the residence."

What happened after that was the affairs of Taiqing's courtyard, so Long Jingying didn't have to keep up.

Yan Ruyu took the order, turned to look at Long Jingying, and said respectfully: "...Master Qiantui, please."

Long Jingying glanced down at Su Bian, her thin lips parted slightly: "Don't forget what Master Zhuang said that night."

Su Bian paused.

Su Bian has always been smart, how could he not know what Long Jingying was referring to.It's just that he didn't expect that after half a month, Long Jingying still remembered it.

Su Bian was slightly surprised, and after two seconds of silence, he replied calmly, "That's natural."

Long Jingying remembered that it was just right, so that he would not have to go to great lengths to find excuses for that painting.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Yan Ruyu, Emperor Jin and others were inexplicable.

Yan Ruyu: What are you talking about? ?

Emperor Jin: What are the prime minister and Zhuang Aiqing talking about? ?

Shunde:? ? ? ?

Long Jingying got into the carriage, and Yan Ruyu drove the carriage to send Long Jingying back to Xiangfu.

When the carriage passed Xuan Yue's carriage, the wind from the carriage blew up the curtain of the carriage. Inside the curtain, Xuan Yue glanced in Long Jingying's direction, curled the corners of his lips, and smiled.

After Su Bian bid farewell to Emperor Jin, he led a group of yamen servants and bandits to the Taiqing Court soon.

Su Bian pretended to be unwell, but actually went to Huai'an. At the beginning, only Qiu Qingxi in the Taiqing Court knew about it.

And Qiu Qingxi's mouth has always been strict, and it has been almost a month now, and Qiu Qingxi is still the only person in the Taiqing courtyard who knows that Su Bian has gone to Huai'an, and everyone else is kept in the dark.

Because Su Bian was still sick, he lay in the mansion to recuperate.

At this time, Su Bian unexpectedly led a group of yamen servants and bandits to appear in the Taiqing courtyard, and everyone in the Taiqing courtyard was stunned.

"Jiu...Master Jiuqing?"

"Lord Jiuqing has finally recovered?"

"Master Jiuqing, these people are...?"

"Hey, isn't this Shi Wen?"

An Heqing, who was the first to come to his senses, trotted forward and circled Su Bian excitedly: "Master, have you recovered from your illness?"

Su Bian replied without blushing.

An Heqing walked around Su Bian's body, and after seeing that Su Bian was indeed 'well', he breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

But then, An Heqing seemed to think of something again, and tears welled up in his eyes.

An Heqing was sobbing and wiping away tears, his voice was full of tears: "Your Excellency, you haven't been in court for a month, and my subordinates thought you had an incurable disease, which can no longer be cured..."

Su Bian: "..."

While crying, An Heqing continued, "My lord is sick and unable to go to court, and my lord Shaoqing's mood is getting worse and worse, and his face is getting uglier..."

Hearing this, Su Bian frowned with a strange expression.

... Didn't Qiu Qingxi know that he went to Huai'an?

An Heqing was talking about Qiu Qingxi when Qiu Qingxi arrived.

It was probably someone else who specifically told Qiu Qingxi that Su Bian had arrived at the Taiqing Court. Qiu Qingxi put down the file in his hand and stumbled out of the house.

Changed from the previous calm and self-control, anxious and unbearable.

Qiu Qingxi's figure appeared in front of his eyes, and Su Bian said expressionlessly, "Lord Qiu."

The voice was calm and calm, as always, without any emotional fluctuations.

Qiu Qingxi looked at Su Bian in a daze for a moment, then said in a daze, "It's good to be safe and sound."

He hasn't returned to Beijing for a month, he thought he...

Su Bian didn't understand, and frowned: "What."

Qiu Qingxi had already calmed down, he calmly said: "It's nothing."

Su Bian glanced at Qiu Qingxi, but did not continue to ask.

Qiu Qingxi was silent for two seconds, summoned up his courage, and said, "Master Jiuqing..."

Qiu Qingxi's complexion was thin and red, and his tense and sensitive appearance was like that of a young boy in love.

However, before the words could be spoken, they were suddenly cut off.

A male voice suddenly came from the carriage behind Su Bian, "Lord Zhuang, I'm hungry."

The unexpected voice caught everyone present in shock.

An Heqing followed the sound, and because the curtain of the carriage completely covered the scene inside the carriage, An Heqing couldn't see anything.

An Heqing was surprised and said inexplicably: "Lord Jiuqing, is there... someone else in this carriage?"

And he seems to have heard it just now... this officer?

As Su Bian was a first-rank courtier in the court, there seemed to be very few people who could call themselves an official in front of Su Bian.

An Heqing frowned, with a troubled expression on his face.

Qiu Qingxi at the side recognized Xuan Yue's voice.

Qiu Qingxi was so familiar with Xuan Yue's voice that it was impossible for him to admit his mistake.

Qiu Qingxi was dazed, and he looked in Su Bian's direction blankly, his eyes were blank.

...Why is Xuan date here?

Soon, the doubts in Qiu Qingxi's heart were answered.

Had it not been for Xuan Yue's sudden opening, he would have almost forgotten Xuan Yue's existence.

Su Bian twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at Sicheng Zhou Zimen who was not far away, and said with a somber face, "Take Shi Wen and these bandits into the cell together."

Zhou Zi suddenly answered yes, then raised his head and couldn't help but ask, "A bandit?"

The Taiqing Court is a special place for interrogating and disposing of court officials. Bandits are low-ranking people and should be dealt with by the local county magistrate.

Su Bian explained: "Shi Wen colluded with these bandits, Shi Wen found a way, and then these bandits did it."

Unexpectedly, a mere county magistrate would be so daring, colluding with bandits, seeking wealth and murder, Zhou Zi suddenly opened his mouth wide and lost his voice.

An Heqing on the side was also stunned.

Zhou Zishen couldn't help asking curiously: "How did your lord know about this? So many governors were sent to investigate secretly before, but they couldn't find out about it."

An Heqing thought of something, his eyes lit up.

An Heqing hesitated and said, "Could it be that...you went to Huai'an during the month your lord was ill?"

Su Bian said, "We'll talk about these later."

The two answered yes, and obediently stopped asking further questions.

Then, Su Bian continued to say with a blank face: "Master Guowei, leaving Beijing without the emperor's permission is equivalent to contempt for the emperor's prestige. Now he will be locked in the torture chamber and will be severely punished!"

After Su Bian finished speaking, the Taiqing courtyard fell into dead silence for an instant.

Everyone held their breath, and no one dared to move.

In today's world, Su Bian is the only one who dares to imprison Xuan Yue in Taiqing's courtyard.

Qiu Qingxi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and unconsciously raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

I see……

Su Bian stood there and waited for a while, but no one moved. He frowned, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.

Su Bian said with a sullen face: "Why, do you want me to do it yourself?"

After Su Bian finished speaking, two seconds later, An Heqing finally came back to his senses.

Unexpectedly, it was Xuan Yue in the carriage, An Heqing glanced in the direction of the carriage in fear, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, I just left Beijing without authorization.

Forget it, I didn’t do anything else, there’s no need to go to war like this... If it offends Lord Lieutenant..."

Xuan Yue hated the emperor, killed people in front of all the common people, threatened the minister in the court, scared him to pee his pants... In terms of what Xuan Yue has done, leaving Beijing without authorization is nothing at all.

Nothing.

Unless Xuanyue wanted to rebel, it would not be too bad to be imprisoned in the Taiqing Court at this time.

However, it was a pity for Emperor Jin that Xuan Yue had no interest in the throne.

An Heqing reminded out of good intentions that after all, everyone in the court knows that Xuan Yue is not easy to mess with.Although everyone in the court thought that Su Bian belonged to Xuanyue, but after all, Xuanyue's temperament has always been uncertain, who knows what?

Turns face from time to time.

What's more, he just left the capital without saying hello to the emperor, so such a trivial matter would be caught in the Taiqing court, locked up in the torture room for punishment, it would be no wonder Xuanyue didn't turn his face.

Xuan Yue has been a captain of the state for so many years, where and when he wants to go has to be approved by others.

Unexpectedly, Su Bian replied with a blank face: "... so what if you make him unhappy?"

Su Bian's face was sullen and gloomy.

An Heqing opened his mouth, and wanted to persuade him again, but he watched Su Bian's ugly face, and finally seemed to understand something.

Leaving Beijing without authorization is not the point at all.

Locking in the torture chamber is Su Bian's real goal.

An Heqing, who finally discovered the truth, was speechless for a moment.

An Heqing thought that Su Bian, Lord Jiuqing, was just not afraid of Xuanyue, but he didn't expect that he didn't take it seriously at all!

An Heqing suddenly became awed by Su Bian.

No one moved in the Taiqing courtyard for a while, but Xuanyue got off the carriage unhurriedly.

Xuan Yue walked to Su Bian's side with a calm face, then blinked and asked, "How long does Master Zhuang want to shut down this official?"

Xuan Yue's tone was brisk, obviously he didn't pay attention to the fact that he was about to be imprisoned in the torture chamber.

Su Bian said coldly, "No comment."

Xuan Yue had a nice voice, but Su Bian's attitude was really bad.

Everyone in Taiqing Court took a deep breath, feeling that Su Bian was desperate.

Just when everyone thought that Xuan Yue was determined to get angry, they saw Xuan Yue said with an aggrieved face: "But I am hungry."

This time Su Bian didn't even raise his eyes, "I'm hungry."

Xuan Yue sighed faintly, and said rather sadly: "Master Zhuang is really ungrateful and ungrateful. When he was in Huai'an, Master Zhuang clearly still..."

Before Xuanyue could finish speaking, Su Bian cut it off directly: "Shut up."

The word "shut up" caused everyone in Taiqing courtyard to take a deep breath again.

What surprised everyone the most was that Xuan Yue still did not get angry.

Can't help but laugh.

It's not the kind of sneer that makes people's hair stand on end, but a heart-pounding and pleasant smile.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene in front of them, feeling that it was horrifying and weird.

... They really didn't have hallucinations?

On the other side, Qiu Qingxi turned pale, but noticed something.

——Huian.

Xuanyue also went to Huai'an.

He clearly avoided the Taiqing Court like a snake and a scorpion, he didn't like to stay in the Taiqing Court, and even got a headache when he saw the files.But now, Xuan Yue just left Beijing without authorization, and was arrested in the Taiqing Court.

To be locked up in the torture chamber.

According to his nature of avoiding troubles, he should only turn a blind eye to trivial matters such as leaving Beijing without authorization.

So... it should be what happened in Huai'an.

Qiu Qingxi lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Xuan Yue at the side gave Qiu Qingxi a sneaky glance, and frowned, quite displeased.

Why didn't I find out before that Qiu Qingxi actually reported such thoughts to his people?

Gee.

Why is Madam so popular.

A thousand years old is enough, now there is still a young minister of the Taiqing Academy, and that General Xie...

The more Xuan Yue thought about it, the more sour he became.

On one side, Xuan Yue's heart felt as if vinegar had been spilled, it was so sour.Su Bian on the other side didn't realize it.

Su Bian would never have imagined that these few people who looked straighter than straight men would have broken sleeves.

Su Bian waited for two seconds, but still no one dared to move, so he twitched the corners of his mouth and said coldly: "As a member of Taiqing's courtyard, he is so timid and fearful. In my opinion, this black gauze hat is also

No need to wear it on the head. "

Before Su Bian finished speaking, everyone who had just stood still and dared not move stood up immediately.

"Your Majesty, I'll take Mr. Guowei to the execution room..."

"My lord, calm down!"

"Your Excellency, don't be impulsive, I will leave now——"

Su Bian, as the Nine Ministers of the Taiqing Academy, not only tried and investigated cases, but except the Shaoqing of the Taiqing Academy who was appointed by the emperor himself, all the others were under the control of Su Bian.

Whether it's appointment or dismissal.

A few people tremblingly came to Xuan Yue's side, and asked Xuan Yue to go to the direction of the execution room with a look of fear.

They trembled with fear, for fear of touching Xuanyue's reverse scale.

Fortunately, Xuanyue also cooperated.Xuan Yue glanced at them, and walked towards the execution room without haste.

Xuan Yue sighed faintly in his heart, feeling a little melancholy.

I don't know if I have to be locked up for a few days to coax my wife well...

If it's Madam who will come to carry out the execution later.

Thinking of the scene of Su Bian beating himself with a whip with a cold face, for some reason, Xuanyue became excited with anticipation.

Su Bian, who was standing there, suddenly shivered, and his back felt cold.

After Xuanyue went to the execution room, Su Bian ordered the remaining people present: "Move the boxes out of the carriage and move them to Master Shaoqing's room."

Everyone answered yes, and immediately started to work.

Qiu Qingxi, who was standing by the side, was silent for a moment, but finally couldn't hold back, and asked, "What is the relationship between Lord Jiuqing and Lord Guowei?"

Su Bian glanced at Qiu Qingxi, who was unusually silent at this moment, and asked indifferently, "Master Qiu asked what you did."

Qiu Qingxi was silent for two seconds, and said: "...just curious."

Su Bian: "Really."

Su Bian didn't want to say more about this meaningless question, so he didn't answer, and didn't say anything more.

And Qiu Qingxi didn't ask any more questions.

He no longer dared to know the answer.
