Uncertain Chang'an

In the back hall of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Song Zhiyan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, looked at the case presented by Jing Zhaoyin, and his heart tightened. Even in such a cold weather, cold sweat immediately covered his back.

Seeing him like this, Qi Haotian at the side felt something was wrong, and asked, "My lord, is something wrong?"

"It's all right, oh, there's something," Song Zhiyan subconsciously denied, but he realized something was wrong, so he hurriedly changed his words, handed him the file, and pretended to cough twice: "Come on, Haotian, take a look at this."

"Yes, my lord." Qi Haotian was puzzled, took the file and read it carefully, but his face turned pale with shock, he raised his head and looked at Song Zhiyan in disbelief and said: "My lord, this matter..."

"This matter is very important, so it's not easy to draw conclusions. You can't take people to the Lu Mansion to search." Before Qi Haotian could finish speaking, Song Zhiyan interrupted him, and said: "This case will be presided over by the judge, and other matters will be handled." Leave it to Haotian and you are in charge, well, go down and get busy."

Qi Haotian wanted to say something, but seeing Song Zhiyan's determination, he had no choice but to back out.Song Zhiyan immediately pushed back the crowd, heaved a sigh of relief, his straight back collapsed, and he slumped on the seat, frowning, but also relieved.There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, as expected, he committed a crime earlier, and he will pay it back so soon.Either way, he could finally sleep peacefully.It's ridiculous that he, Song Zhiyan, has been an official for decades and enforced the law impartially, but at the end of the day, he can't protect him at the end of the day. Not only is he related to the death of a prostitute, but now he has to cover up the murderer.

It's not that he didn't think about the strangeness of Chongjin's death, but he panicked at the time and thought that he should do an autopsy when he returned to the mansion, but Ma San'er had already had the body disposed of, so how could he wait until he reacted?Whether it was an accident or a trap, he couldn't escape.For the current plan, only by keeping Lu Bingwen can he protect himself.

One of the left and right servants of the Ministry of Punishment is old and out of energy, and the other has been bedridden with a cold two days ago. Apart from Shangshu Song Zhiyan, Qi Haotian is the most important person in the Ministry of Punishment now.After Song Zhiyan spoke, he came to Qi Haotian with a bunch of trivial matters. He was too busy to deal with it. It was already too late when he returned from the Ministry of Punishment. It was too late for him to go to the Princess's Mansion to tell His Highness about it, otherwise it would definitely make people suspicious.

Originally, there is no need for a fourth-rank Lang to go to court every day. Last time, His Majesty announced him because he was related to him. However, two days ago, the two servants both asked His Majesty for leave, and His Majesty asked him to go to court for the next few days. The post of servant.

In the early court, Emperor Taiping was the first to speak: "The king of Changsha, Duan Yuanqi, and his concubine and princess are on the way to Beijing, accompanied by five thousand Chengyuan troops, and they will arrive in Beijing soon. Placement?"

As for military matters, they should be handed over to the general Xu Yuanshou, and the important officials under him proposed to be placed in the camp of the Dingbei Army, but Xu Yuanshou was Xiao Cheng's old army. It is clear that putting Xu Yuanshou and a group of Chengyuan army generals together is like putting a torch next to explosives.

"The old general is easy to suffer from old injuries in winter. It is not advisable to be too tired. This matter will be handled by Zhenbei General Xiao Wuding. General Xiao, if you don't understand something, please ask the general. Do you understand?"

Xiao Wuding heard the words, suppressed the coldness in his eyes, went out to salute, and said loudly: "The last general takes orders!"

Seeing this, Emperor Taiping nodded slightly in satisfaction, and gave Gu Xianghai a look. Gu Xianghai immediately understood, and said in his characteristic high-pitched voice: "Play if you have something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!"

Seeing this, Emperor Taiping stood up, waved his big hand and said, "Since there is nothing wrong, let's retreat."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Qi Haotian saluted along with the ministers, frowned and asked Song Zhiyan in a low voice: "My lord, did you not report the case to His Majesty yesterday?"

"This matter is very important. In addition, there are eighty to nine out of ten cases that the couple slandered, and it will not be too late to report to His Majesty after the investigation. Hurry up and go back to the Criminal Department, there are still many things waiting for you." After finishing speaking, he strode towards the palace. go out.

Song Zhiyan's reaction yesterday was a bit strange, and what happened today made Qi Haotian even more suspicious.He quickly walked to Xiao Wuding's side, nudged him lightly with his elbow, and shouted: "General Xiao."

But Xiao Wuding didn't seem to hear it, Qi Haotian only felt a sudden gust of cold wind hitting his body with snowflakes, making him shiver involuntarily. Is this real wind?It's not that General Xiao is so cold...

Xiao Wuding had just received his order from Emperor Taiping, and he couldn't hold back his hatred when he thought of seeing Duan Yuanqi, and there was her mother and concubine with their daughter, he couldn't help himself for a while, Qi Haotian could only embarrass him if he touched her After reacting, he calmly restrained his momentum and asked: "Ah, Mr. Qi, what's wrong?"

No matter what, the most urgent thing is to inform Her Royal Highness of the matter, and we will talk about General Xiao's abnormality later.Thinking of this, Qi Haotian hastily said: "Yesterday, Jing Zhaoyin sent the file to sue Lu Bingwen, Lord Song took it by himself, but he didn't report it to His Majesty this morning, I think something is wrong, but Lord Song Leave all other matters to me, and I am too busy at the moment, so I don’t have time to inform His Highness, please, General, if you have time, I will go to the Princess Mansion for me and report to His Highness.”

"Have you reported to the Ministry of Punishment?" Xiao Wuding was stunned, she and His Highness thought that Lu Junde would at most start with Jing Zhaoyin, how could he be transferred to the Ministry of Punishment? "I see, I will go to His Highness later, Lord Lao Qi pays attention."

"Naturally, go slowly, General, I'll go back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice first." After finishing speaking, Qi Haotian cupped his hands towards her and headed towards the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Xiao Wuding returned to the city from the military camp and went straight to Wen's mansion, and happened to catch up with Wen Yuan having lunch.

"Coincidentally, there is your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs." Wen Yuan waved to her with a smile, and ordered Chen'er to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks.Xiao Wuding went to sit beside her, his face was as cold as frost, Wen Yuan also suppressed his smile, and asked seriously: "But something happened?"

Xiao Wuding suddenly squeezed the teacup tightly, turned his head to see the repressed anger in her eyes, gritted his teeth bitterly and said: "Duan Yuanqi is going to Beijing, and there are Princess Changsha and Princess Changsha with him, Emperor Taiping asked me to take care of the arrangements. Five thousand Chengyuan troops."

She was so out of breath that she didn't even call His Majesty and directly called him Emperor Taiping.Wen Yuan sighed quietly, stretched out his hand to gently squeeze the back of her neck, and said softly: "A Xiao, you are Xiao Wuding now, no matter how difficult it is, you have to endure it, and if you miss the trick, all your previous achievements will be wasted."

Xiao Wudingjin closed his eyes and took a deep breath before he calmed down a bit, and said sullenly: "I understand." She endured so many years and suffered so much, and even caused her senior sister to accompany her into this turbulent court. Tang, deceive His Highness... I gave up so much in order to avenge my father in the end, and I must not fall short due to impulse.

Seeing her gradually calm down, Wen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, let go of his hands and picked up the chopsticks to serve her dishes again, and said softly: "Eat more, you have lost weight these days."

"I'll ask His Highness to take back Uncle's writing and enjoy it for a few days. Fortunately, you are good at lightness kung fu, and you can avoid Yanwei and put the scroll in. But why did Your Highness suddenly become suspicious?"

Xiao Wuding sighed with a smile, and shook his head helplessly: "I wrote a piece of cursive script with my left hand, and I forgot to destroy it. I don't want my Highness to give me hairpins and hair crowns that day, but they were discovered. It's a fluke, knowing that the guards of the Wen residence are not Weak Yanwei didn't pay more attention, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to escape Shisan's attention. It's not suspicious, but for a cautious person like His Highness, if something is wrong, you have to confirm it to be at ease."

"Send hairpins and crowns?" Wen Yuan smiled and scooped up soup for her, and looked at her with one hand on his chin, and said, "Your Highness has given you a lot of things, right?"

Xiao Wuding thought for a moment and replied: "Two hairpins, a hair crown, a sword, and many other medicinal materials..."

"Well, don't tell me what is the meaning of you forgetting to give the hairpin?" Wen Yuan smiled deeper, watching his junior sister's ears suddenly turn red playfully, feeling a little embarrassing, and couldn't help being in a good mood.

"The first time, Your Highness thought I didn't bring a hairpin, so it was disrespectful to go to court like this. She saw that I had a suitable one and gave it away. Last time, she took a fancy to my jasper bamboo hairpin and wanted to exchange it. ....." Xiao Wuding's voice became softer as he spoke, annoyed why senior sister has been teasing her more and more recently...

"I've run out of it, Senior Sister, use it slowly, I still have something to tell His Highness."

Xiao Wuding hurriedly dropped these words and got up to go secretly to the backyard. Seeing her like this, Wen Yuan couldn't help giggling. It's rare to see her mature and stable junior sister flee like this.

Xiao Wuding quickly walked to the secret passage, and stayed in it for a while to make sure that he looked all right before going to the princess mansion. The maid saw her coming and hurriedly led her to the study.Zhou Jinhe suddenly became interested after lunch, he was playing the piano in the study, when Xiao Wuding approached, he heard the melodious and ups and downs of the piano, his style was completely different from her senior sister's, but each had its own merits.She reached out her hand to stop the leading maid, stood outside and listened quietly, her brows and eyes soft.It's been many, many years since I heard her piano sound.

On the road away from the city of Beijing, looking around, the mountains are covered with snow, the sky and the earth are vast, everything is silent, only a black dragon on the official road comes winding from a distance, accompanied by the sound of metal crashes and clacks The sound of horseshoes clacking, it turned out to be a well-trained army. The soldiers on horseback in the front held high the pennant with the word "Yuan" and spread forward in a mighty way protecting the king in the middle.In front of Wang Jia, there is a tall man, wearing a python suit and a unicorn belt, staring straight ahead with sharp eyes.Behind him was a middle-aged woman in the spacious and comfortable king's car, who seemed to be in her early thirties, and she was also a rare beauty when she was young.Next to her was a girl in a pink palace dress, she looked like she was only seven or eight years old, she was like a jade carved in pink, and she was very cute.She blinked her big clear eyes, raised her head and asked the middle-aged woman: "Concubine Mother, can Ning'er see Her Highness the Princess when she arrives in the capital? You often say that my sister likes Her Highness the Princess the most, and Ning'er also wants to meet the person my sister likes." .”

The middle-aged woman rubbed her soft hair affectionately, and replied with a smile: "Naturally, Your Highness will definitely like Ning'er."

"Awesome!" The girl cheered and retracted into her mother's arms, full of anticipation and hope to enter Beijing as soon as possible.
