prosperity

Chapter 2

After lying on the bed for half a month, Zhao Jiamin basically recovered her normal speech function, and she could let Laner help her walk down the ground for a period of time.In less than a month, she was able to walk freely without the help of outsiders, and she observed Ye Huazhao's face by the way.

What surprised her was that Ye Huazhao not only resembled her in appearance, but also had almost the same height, shape and even personality as her. It was like an exclusive substitute created by God for her.Before, she was worried that Ye Huazhao's dissimilarity would cause the Ye family to question her, but she didn't expect Mrs. Ye to be unaware and treat her as if she was her own.

This made Zhao Jiamin feel even more guilty. She thought, when the revenge is over, if her identity is not revealed, if nothing happens to her halfway through, and if the Ye family still wants to recognize her, she is willing to truly become Ye Huazhao and do her filial piety for her.

Always staying in the room and not going out beyond his small courtyard, Zhao Jiamin finally couldn't bear it and proposed the idea of ​​going out.Ye Bingyu didn't object but didn't agree, but Mrs. Ye firmly opposed it.

After all, she was a baby girl who had just woken up, so how could she be willing to let her go out and be exposed to the wind and sun.

But she couldn't stand her soft and hard words, after more than a month, Mrs. Ye let go and agreed to let Ye Hengqi take her around the city.

Although it was limited to the city, it was enough to make Zhao Jiamin cheer.

When she was the princess, Zhao Jiamin didn't go out very often.Even if you go out, you can only go around three points and one line at the palace barracks. There is no experience of walking freely on the street like now.

After getting off the carriage and following Ye Hengqi to wander around, Zhao Jiamin was like a bird released from its cage, so excited that he couldn't control himself.

Ye Heng thought it was the first time she saw these novel things after being in a coma for many years, and he didn't restrain her, letting her run around without leaving his sight.

Walking through a market, Zhao Jiamin saw a lot of people gathered around the trouble wall, moved his eyes, and followed them.

She is not short, and her eyesight is not weak, and she can see the notice just pasted with a little tiptoe.

The general idea is that Liang Changxu, the servant of the household department, corrupted the silver taels for disaster relief in the north, and will be executed in a few days.

Another old acquaintance.

Zhao Jiamin frowned.

She also wanted to investigate this person before, but this person has always been timid, Tan Mo would not be so blatant in the past, and the people behind him couldn't tell which side he belonged to, so she let him go temporarily.To be able to swallow such a huge sum of money this time, and to deceive others, is definitely not something he can do alone.

Thinking of the smug face of the people behind him, Zhao Jiamin snorted coldly, the trick of abandoning the car to protect the handsome is really skillful.

However, the Household Department has always been the coveted position of the major forces, and it is difficult for Dali Temple to resist the pressure of all parties and insist on sending Liang Changxu to the guillotine.

"What's so interesting about the beheading notice?" Ye Hengqi walked up to her, seeing that she didn't look frightened, he was relieved, "Let's go for a stroll."

"Brother, is this servant of the household department the case you were working on before?"

"How do you know that I handled this case before?" Ye Heng became interested, "How do you know that I'm working in Dali Temple?"

Before Ye Huazhao fell into a coma, Ye Hengqi hadn't entered Dali Temple yet.

Zhao Jiamin's eyelids twitched, but his face did not appear flustered, "The notice said that this case will be investigated by Dali Temple, and when I just woke up, my mother urged my father to go to Dali Temple to call you back, and I will also give you Ask for leave."

"Oh." Ye Heng showed an annoyed look, "I wanted to find a chance to tell you quietly, but I didn't expect you to know about it long ago."

He reached out and touched Zhao Jiamin's head, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, our Hua Zhao is still so smart."

Zhao Jiamin loosened her brows and put on an innocent and smug smile. At first glance, she looked like a pure and innocent girl who was praised and proud.

But she was sighing in her heart. She was afraid that Ye Bingyu agreed to Mrs. Ye's request for leave on Ye Heng's behalf because he knew that this matter was difficult, so he deliberately took the opportunity to remove him from this matter, so as to avoid offending people who shouldn't be offended.

It's really not easy to be a neutral person.

After finally getting the topic out of the way, Zhao Jiamin asked, "Brother, you have taken such a long leave of absence, won't the higher-ups be angry?" You still ask for leave when you are so nervous.

"I'm angry." Remembering that man's gloomy face, Ye Heng wanted to tremble, but his sister was by his side, so he couldn't show his timidity, so he pretended to be bold and said, "To accompany my sister, I'm just a scolded dog." Bloody head, I also admit it."

It seems that it is not asking for leave but going to die.

Zhao Jiamin was amused, "Okay, I'm hungry, let's go eat, shall we?"

"Okay." Ye Hengqi responded softly, "What do you want to eat?"

"Whichever is the best restaurant in the city now, let's go there to eat."

"it is good."

After finishing a major case, Dali Temple did not have the relaxed atmosphere it should have after finishing the case, but was terribly nervous.

However, Pei Yunyin is definitely an exception among them.

"I said, my lord, why don't you go out and hang around all the time?"

"Why?" Still so concise.

Pei Yunyin smiled lightly, not caring about the other party's indifference, and with a swipe, he unfolded the landscape painting folding fan he used to pretend to cover half of his face, leaving only a pair of unreal black pupils outside. Going out and basking in the sun is good for your physical and mental health.”

Yao Nanshu raised his eyes from the file on the table and snorted softly, as if he was contemptuous.

Dali Temple is busy with affairs, and the work of running errands is basically left to the subordinates.As the Minister of Dali Temple, especially Dazai, the little emperor who did not speak for anyone and made the canonization by his own will, naturally he would not do this kind of errand work.

It was originally supposed to be Taishi, but it collided with the name of the little emperor, so it was specially changed to Dazai.

The official position of the third rank, but being given the name of the first rank Dazai, is also a big event that everyone in the circle talks about.

In fact, the little emperor wanted to elevate her rank to a genuine first rank commensurate with the name of Dazai, but it was a pity that she was strongly opposed by the court, and finally nothing happened.

Pei Yunyin originally thought that this proposal would most likely be rejected, but unexpectedly, the other party agreed, "Okay."

"My lord." Lin Zheng, another Dali temple official, said hastily, "I will accompany you, my lord."

Yao Nanshu opened his mouth halfway, his eyes stared like copper bells, and watched the figure disappear, then turned to ask Pei Yunyin, "I'm afraid I'm dreaming?"

Pei Yunyin put the paper fan in his hand against his chin, and closed it by the way, "Calm down, be careful of eyeballs falling out."

"You, you, what do you want to do?" Yao Nanshu came back to his senses, grabbed Pei Yunyin and asked, "You wouldn't suggest that your lord go out for no reason, and at this time, when you are so nervous, what are you thinking? !"

"I just mentioned it casually."

"I do not believe!"

Yao Nanshu stubbornly wanted to get an answer, but Pei Yunyin didn't look at him, something flashed in his eyes, and he fell silent again, "I'm not sure, how many fish that escaped the net can really be caught this time."

"Ah? What did you say?"

"I said, our adults may become famous all over the world again."

"what?"

"My lord." Lin Zheng specially changed into his normal clothes, his anxiety was evident on his face, "Now that the case of the Minister of the Household Department has just been concluded, I'm afraid that someone will harm you."

"I know." The answer was light and light, but there was no pause or worry.

Lin Zheng didn't speak, but doubts were written all over his face.

Then why are you still coming out?Why no guards?

"Just like Pei Ziqing said, change your mood."

Lin Zheng knew that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he kept silent.

"I heard that there is a good noodle shop in Gezi Lane, West City. Let's go there."

Lin Zheng didn't dare to talk too much, he followed up automatically.

After a lunch, Zhao Jiamin was full of ambition, and Ye Hengqi secretly glanced at his deflated purse, wanting to cry but not crying.But in order for his younger sister to have fun and feel at ease, he took advantage of Zhao Jiamin's inattention and ordered the servants who followed him to go home to get the silver. He was also afraid that his mother would misunderstand that he was just playing around, so he even sent Lan'er back.

Anyway, the law and order in the capital has been good recently, and the Ye family has no enemies, so there is no need to worry about any problems.Besides, it is easier to walk without a servant.

"Where shall we go shopping next?" In front of his younger sister, Ye Hengqi, who was so poor that he didn't even have a dime, still looked like he was supporting a lot of money, "A circus troupe is coming to West Market Street, do you want to see it?"

"Okay!" Zhao Jiamin naturally had no objection. He came out today just to wander around. Where to go is not a problem, "Look!"

Ye Heng looks like a person who often goes out to play. He knows where to walk, which trail is fast, which buns are the most delicious, which teahouse is the best to drink, but he also retains the bottom line of a noble family. range of touch.

Out of curiosity, Zhao Jiamin tested Ye Hengqi a few times at first, but the result after the test made her realize that Ye Hengqi was really different from the children of the aristocratic family she had seen before.The children of those aristocratic families have a good skin, but after they really understand it, they can find the stench under the good skin.

She finally had a sense of belonging to Ye Hengqi as her elder brother.

Leading Zhao Jiamin through a narrow alley, when Ye Hengqi talked about the steamed stuffed bun shop he had eaten before, he spit all over the place, his eyes glowed green, and when he was talking about the exciting part, he seemed to be pinched seven inches, and suddenly he didn't said.

Zhao Jiamin looked up, and there were two people standing not far ahead.

The person behind saw Ye Hengqi, and was slightly stunned, obviously familiar with Ye Hengqi, but Zhao Jiamin's attention was not on him.The person in front of him was not tall, with a thin body. He was obviously just standing there, but there was an invisible pressure looming on him.

Ju Jingyi.

At the age of 16, she disguised herself as a woman in white to take part in the imperial examination, and was highly appreciated by the regent. Even the little emperor, who had just learned how to read memorials, praised her articles a lot.At the end of the palace examination, she was hand-picked as the number one scholar, and she showed herself as a daughter in front of civil and military officials. Under the secret connivance of the regent, the little emperor insisted on keeping her in the court, but due to the pressure of all parties, only Let her enter Dali Temple as a little fellow prefect.

However, in just one or two years, the efficiency of Dali Temple's handling of cases has improved, and the number of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases has also decreased. She was quickly and smoothly promoted to Dali Temple Minister.The little emperor was always worried that she would be bullied, so he specially surpassed his authority and named her Dazai to show his favor.

It can be said that Ju Jingyi has almost become the idol and role model of women all over the country, even surpassing Wei Zheng, the heroine of Anping County.

Her legendary experience was passed down from word to mouth in the city, and almost no one did not know about her, Ju Jingyi.

Zhao Jiamin gritted her teeth, for fear that she would unconsciously pronounce the name.

She will never forget, and it is impossible for her to forget the person in front of her.

Lord Dazai, Minister of Dali Temple, Ju Jingyi.

The person who watched Princess Zhaoyang go to death was the last person to see Princess Zhaoyang.

In fact, Zhao Jiamin knew that in the face of so many evidences, she had no way to refute, nor could she prove her innocence.From Ju Jingyi's point of view, what she did is understandable, whether it was the conviction during the joint trial of the three divisions or the delivery of white training and poisoned wine bestowed by the little emperor.

It's just that she just can't forgive, even if she is rationally clear, Ju Jingyi has done nothing wrong.

Why, why can't Ju Jingyi continue to investigate, maybe if she investigates carefully, she will be able to find something abnormal.

Didn't everyone say that she, Ju Jingyi, is not afraid of power?Didn't everyone say that Ju Jingyi has no evidence that she can't find?Didn't everyone say that there were no unjust, false or wrongly decided cases under her Ju Jingyi?

So what is she, Princess Zhaoyang?

In fact, she just didn't know who to express her resentment and hatred to, so she couldn't help but want to vent it out if she caught anyone. Ju Jingyi was just a substitute for the object of anger in her heart.

She understands all these reasons, but the feelings just can't be stopped.

The whole person seemed to be divided into two halves, one half sensibly warned himself not to do something he regretted, and the other half crazily vented his messy emotions.

Lin Zheng opened his mouth first, "I've seen you, sir."

Ye Hengqi was brought back to his senses by the sound, and he was too ashamed to raise his head, he cupped his hands at Ju Jingyi indiscriminately, "I've seen you, sir."

Ye Bingyu's reason for asking for leave was that he was unwell, but everyone knew the real reason, and Ju Jingyi didn't say anything.It's just that tacit understanding is still different from piercing the window paper, and he suddenly panicked.

All his energy was concentrated on how to explain his current situation tactfully and how not to make his boss angry. He didn't notice Zhao Jiamin who was about to explode behind him at all.

He didn't know that Ju Jingyi didn't take his sick leave to heart.

Although Zhao Jiamin restrained it in time, her resentment still leaked out a little, and was keenly captured by Ju Jingyi.

Ju Jingyi didn't know Ye Huazhao, but the news that the daughter of the Minister's Mansion had woken up was widely circulated recently, and seeing that she had a good relationship with Ye Heng, she confirmed Zhao Jiamin's identity.

However, the first time she saw the other party, she was startled for no other reason.

This Miss Ye is too much like Zhao Jiamin, the Princess of Zhaoyang.

The famous regent princess.

Thinking of this beautiful and unlucky princess, Ju Jingyi couldn't figure out her own emotions, but she still remembered the last time the other party looked at her.

That look, looked like falling into an abyss, unable to grasp anything with both hands and feet, completely surrounded by thick sadness and attachment, and then, you would feel fear, not the fear of her, but the useless fear of yourself, The fear of watching everything happen and being unable to undo it.

But she didn't understand what she did wrong, and why she was terrified because of the princess's eyes.

And that look flashed back in her countless dreams over the past year.

It even made her wonder if she did something wrong, if she ignored some key evidence, if she wronged her.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere was unusually harmonious. Only Lin Zheng looked at the three of them blankly, as if vaguely aware that he was excluded for no reason.

A sound of footsteps drew the attention of the three of them back.

Not long after, a few sloppy people came from another alley, dragging sticks and shovels.

"You guys are from Dali Temple, right?"

The person who came looked like a hooligan from the neighborhood, the leader had a pair of three white eyes hanging, his voice was like a drake, his clothes were not well worn, and half of his chest was loosely exposed, causing Ye Hengqi to quickly reach out to catch Zhao Jiamin In his eyes, "Someone spends money, and we always have to eliminate the disaster for him."

"Why?" Zhao Jiamin asked Ye Hengqi.

Ye Heng reprimanded in a low voice, "I'm not afraid of the eye of a needle."

Ye Hengqi groaned secretly in his heart, the servant beside him was sent away, Ju Jingyi obviously also went into battle lightly without guards, Lin Zhengbai had a strong figure.

It seems that there is no one here who can fight.

What?You ask him Young Master Ye?

The civil servants of the Ye family have been civil servants for generations, and they would not fight with others until they blushed and their necks were thick. On weekdays, they at most learned Wuqinxi to keep fit, but they never fought seriously.

At present, it seems that their combat effectiveness is zero.

Ye Heng raised his forehead to sweat.

It's over now.

But the mentality of not being able to show timidity in front of his sister still defeated his fear, and he stepped forward to block Zhao Jiamin behind him.Similarly, Lin Zheng had already protected Ju Jingyi behind him.

After all, as a man, it is impossible to hide behind a woman.

"Who hired you?" Ju Jingyi didn't seem to see the tense situation, and asked in the tone of asking what the weather is like today, "The other party's request?"

Only then did Ye Hengqi realize that she was unreasonably calm, not only did she not panic, she even seemed to have everything under control.

Could it be that she has a plan?Or do you know the identity and purpose of the other party?

"Of course the employer can't say it, just ask for it." Sanbai said with a stern expression on his face, "You guys will find out later."

Before the words were finished, Lin Zheng and Ye Heng at the front were like paper villains, falling down as soon as they were pushed.

Before Sanbaiyan could laugh, he saw his subordinates who were showing off their might just now fell to the ground one after another.

"My lord?!" Lin Zheng was surprised, "Be careful!"

"Sister!?" Ye Hengqi was pleasantly surprised, "Have you not forgotten the kung fu that Grandpa taught you?"

Mrs. Ye, Shen Mengyao, was born in Pingnan Hou Mansion, a family of military generals. Ye Huazhao practiced martial arts since childhood. This is the news that Zhao Jiamin got from Lan'er some time ago.It just so happened that she had studied under Mr. Shen before, so she was not afraid of arousing the doubts of the Ye family.

Ju Jingyi and Zhao Jiamin's actions were crisp and neat. Although they didn't say it in advance, the two cooperated tacitly and quickly knocked the gangsters to the ground.

But Lin Zheng and Ye Heng looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless, but silently made a decision in their hearts.

This matter must not be publicized, it is too shameful to be protected by the person I want to protect!

"Two heroines, spare me!"

Sanbaiyan understands the principle that a man can bend and stretch, seeing that the situation is not right, he will immediately do a little low.

"Employer, request."

Dislike him talking too much nonsense, this time Ju Jingyi directly shortened it into two words.

"This, this, this, I don't know." Sanbaiyan said distressedly, "When that person came over, he was mysterious, wrapped in black gauze all over his body, but his hands were generous, all at once." He stretched out two fingers, "There's so much gold." After gesturing, he added, "The other party wants us to beat up anyone who wears the official uniform of Dali Temple, that's it."

In order to go out conveniently, Ju Jingyi changed into regular clothes, and she is relatively small and short, looking like a teenager who has not yet grown up.Lin Zheng was worried that it would be unsafe not to bring guards, so he specially put on an official uniform to scare off others, but unexpectedly, it would be better not to wear this official uniform.

Ju Jingyi stretched out her hand and said flatly, "Hand it over."

Sanbaiyan quickly took out the gold from his pocket, offered it with both hands, and said obediently, "It's all here."

The gold ingot sinks slightly in the hand, and the words Xuanhe Year are engraved on the back.

From the outside, there are no problems or clues.

Ju Jingyi asked again, "How did he find you?"

"The young one went to play in the Qinfang Courtyard behind the South Drum Tower with his buddies that day, and somehow he was found."

Qinfang Courtyard is the largest and most famous Goulan Courtyard in West City, almost everyone knows it.

Ju Jingyi lowered her head as if she was thinking about something, and after a while, she ordered Lin Zheng to tie up Sanbaiyan and his subordinates, and then called the patrolling Jinwu Guards to take them away except Sanbaiyan.
