Xie Jingan came out from the side room where Liu Zheng was held for interrogation. It was already midnight, Xu Shi had just finished a snowfall, and the moon was extraordinarily bright. Even though there were not many lights in the quiet palace, Xie Jingan could still see the courtyard clearly, but the weather seemed to be worse. It was cold, and it was so cold that his bones were chilled.

Xie Jingan stopped in the courtyard for a while before slowly walking towards the courtyard where he lived. Shen Wei quietly followed behind him, and suddenly said: "Your Highness, you are hurting yourself, there are still tens of millions of people in the fief relying on you." Your Highness, Your Highness must take care of yourself."

"Angry?" Xie Jingan laughed, shook his head and said, "The Liu family deserves death, and this king will not be angry because of the Liu family. This king is just thinking that Liu Qin's team has done such a shocking and unreasonable thing." Whether the head branch of the Liu family in Chang'an knows about this matter, if the head branch of the Liu family knows about it, will the crown prince know about it?"

It was about the crown prince, Shen Wei didn't dare to talk nonsense, he just listened quietly, Xie Jingan didn't expect to get a response, he murmured half guessing for a while, then shut up.

He didn't sleep well that night, maybe he thought about it every day and dreamed at night, Xie Jingan had been dreaming in a daze since he fell asleep, and more than an hour before he woke up on weekdays, he was guarded by the outside guard The servant who was waiting woke up, "Your Highness, General Lin has something urgent to see, so he is waiting outside the door. Do you want to see him, Your Highness?"

Xie Jing'an didn't sleep well at first, but now that he was woken up, he felt more and more headache, and subconsciously wanted to have an attack, but when he heard the word General Lin, he woke up instantly, and the headache seemed to be a little lighter, he hurriedly said: "Since it's General Lin asking for an audience, what are you waiting for? Please come into the study and change my clothes."

After someone invited Lin Yan into the study and helped Xie Jingan to wash and change his clothes, he took Shen Wei and a few guards and hurried to the study.

Since Lin Yan worked for him, he had always been prudent and self-restraining. If something big hadn't happened, he definitely wouldn't have woken him up in such a hurry.

Xie Jingan thought wildly in his mind, and his steps became more and more hurried, almost walking into the study.

In the study, Lin Yan sat upright on a chair with a dignified expression. A man in a black robe and cloak stood half a step behind him. When they saw the study door being opened, they immediately went forward to salute.

Xie Jing'an's eyes hurriedly turned around Lin Yan's body. Seeing that he was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief, avoided his salute, and looked curiously at the man in black behind him. Walking to the seat, he said: "General Lin woke up the king late at night, why? But what important clues were found in the case of the Liu family? And this is..."

Lin Yan glanced reassuringly at the man in black behind him, cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, there is indeed a major discovery in the case of the Liu family, and the clue was provided by Miss Yang to the last general."

Xie Jing'an didn't expect the man in black to be a girl. He was a little surprised, but also more and more puzzled, and asked: "Who is this Miss Yang from the Liu family? How can she know so clearly about the Liu family's affairs."

Xie Jing'an thought that Miss Yang was an enemy of the Liu family, or that she had some unknown close relationship with the Liu family, but he didn't want Miss Yang to lift her cloak to cover her face, revealing a young and beautiful face , softly said: "His Royal Highness, the Minnv is the outhouse of Liu Qin, the eldest master of the Liu family, who is placed in the outer room of the villa. Because the Minnv was abducted by kidnappers since she was a child, she has no relatives in this world, and life and death are all about honor and disgrace." In him, he trusted Minnv very much, so he hid a ledger here with Minnv."

Ledger?Xie Jingan's spirit shook, he subconsciously sat up straighter, looked at her brightly and said, "Since you are Liu Qin's concubine, you should keep things like account books well hidden, so why would you entrust them to me?" My lord, is there another hidden story?"

Miss Yang was silent for a moment, her eyes were red, and she choked with sobs and said: "Minnv dare not lie to His Highness, the reason why Minnv committed herself to Liu Qin was not what Minnv wanted, but because he used all kinds of means to coerce Minnv, Minnv It was originally from an official family, but when I was five or six years old, I accidentally got separated from the adults when I went out, and was sold to the Liu family. But I don't want the Liu family to be so mad, they think that a commoner's daughter is born in an official family, and she is so beautiful, so she is a rare commodity to live in, so she guards and trains a commoner's daughter more carefully."

Miss Yang's eyes showed deep hatred, and her voice became colder and colder: "When the minnv was eleven or twelve years old, the Liu family originally wanted to dedicate the minnv to the city guard of Mozhou, but they didn't want Liu Qin to see the minnv. Afterwards, she thought of hiding her beauty in a golden house, so she secretly took the girl out of the village and placed her in a villa outside Mozhou City. I understand, but I haven't forgotten the identity of the civilian girl who came from an official family. She tried to die several times, but was rescued by that disgusting person. The civilian girl couldn't die, so she thought of revenge and pretended to be obedient to him Baishun, just waiting for him to relax his guard one day, stabbed him to death with him, but he didn't want to receive the account book he handed over to the girl."

Miss Yang paused for a moment, then continued: "He probably wanted to show his love for Minnv with this, and because Minnv was under his strict supervision, even if he had an account book, he couldn't do much, but Minnv has a Hope, waiting for the day when the Liu family falls, or a Zhongzheng official from Mozhou City will hand it over to him, but I didn't expect the official to wait until His Highness."

Miss Yang's expression was very excited, and Xie Jingan's mood was also quite agitated. At the same time, she felt extremely sympathetic to her, and said tentatively: "Since you come from an official family, do you still remember the names of your parents, or how many times the officials paid their respects?" No matter what position you are in, do you have any tokens in your hand?"

Miss Yang shook her head and said: "I have been oppressed by the Liu family all these years, and I deliberately let Minnv forget the past. Minnv has almost forgotten about her childhood. Minnv only remembers that Minnv's family is in Chang'an, and her surname is Yang. People in the family often call Minnv Nannan, Minnv still has a crescent-like imprint on her shoulder, if Minnv can go back to Chang'an and search carefully, she may be able to find it."

When it comes to imprints, as a daughter, Ms. Yang is a bit hard to say, but after all, the idea of ​​getting out of the sea of ​​suffering and finding her family is too strong. She only hesitated for a moment, and then said it in a low voice with a blushing face.

Lin Yan felt a little uncomfortable listening to it, but Xie Jingan didn't react at all. After all, he was someone who had even seen pornographic movies in later generations, so naturally he wouldn't have any special reaction to such things.

It's just that I feel more and more sympathetic to Miss Yang in my heart, and said softly: "Miss Yang, don't worry, after the Liu family's case is settled, the king will send someone to escort Miss Yang back to Chang'an, and I will definitely find her family back for Miss Yang, and I will also help you." Miss Yang seeks justice."

Then he called Shen Wei to come in, and ordered: "Send Miss Yang down to rest, and put it in Miss Lin's yard for the time being, and then let someone tell Miss Lin that Miss Yang is a distinguished guest of the king, please ask her to take care of you." Take care of one or two."

Miss Yang was very grateful after hearing Xie Jingan's words, but now she is even more grateful after hearing these words. After handing over the account book to Xie Jingan, she thanked him repeatedly. Xie Jingan kindly comforted her, and then let Shen Wei send her out.

As soon as Miss Yang and Shen Wei left, Xie Jingan couldn't wait to open the account book. He thought that the evil things he knew about the Liu family were shocking enough, but he didn't expect that when he saw this account book, he was even more shocked.

Xie Jing'an only read a few pages in a hurry and couldn't read any more. He slapped the desk heavily, and said angrily: "This is unreasonable! This king of the Liu family only thinks that Liu Qin is responsible for it, but he doesn't want the head of the Liu family to also be involved. Among them, there are even many officials from Chang'an and other prefectures and counties in this account book, how many people have been harmed by this cancer of the Liu family."

Lin Yan was not surprised at all, and said calmly: "People in a clan are all prosperous and all are harmed. It is impossible for the head of the Liu family to know what the Liu family has done. Even if they don't know, they still enjoy Liu Qin. It is not innocent to support these years of offerings, it just depends on whether His Highness wants to be implicated."

"Involvement," Xie Jingan said: "Naturally, they must be involved. They and Liu Qin have harmed so many innocent people. How can I let them live in peace in this world? Anyone who is involved in it is naturally guilty, and those who have not participated in it Naturally, Wang will not implicate the innocent."

"Your Highness," Lin Yan said, "no matter which one is involved, as long as someone is accused, the others will be implicated. Whether it's female relatives, or children and grandchildren, none of them can escape safely, just like the last general. Just like my sister-in-law."

Xie Jingan was stopped by Lin Yan's question, looked at him hesitantly and said, "Are you pleading for...the other branches of the Liu family?"

Lin Yan shook his head and said: "The last general is not asking for mercy, but just wants to ask Your Highness, can you save one or two other innocent people in the Liu family when they are implicated, just like your Highness saved the last general and his sister, naturally it is impossible to give him an official position Yes, as long as those innocent people can live like ordinary people."

"This..." Xie Jingan didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either. If he had just traveled through time, he might have agreed without even thinking. But after so many things these days, he has learned not to think in Xie Jingan's way. It is considered as a vassal king.

In his heart, he naturally wanted to save those innocent people, but everyone couldn't be Lin Yan. The most important thing is that Xie Jingan caused the Liu family's fate in the future, not because of his villainous heart. To save the heart of a gentleman, what if he saves someone, and the Liu family holds a grudge, and makes trouble in his fief in the future?If the people in his fief suffered disaster and suffered casualties, what kind of face would he use to see those innocent people?

But if he really doesn't save him, his conscience will be troubled, and the men who participated in the Liu family's involvement should suddenly die, so how innocent are those women and children?

Xie Jingan thought about it, and finally his conscience prevailed, and he sighed: "Forget it, I promised you, but the members of the Liu family will be strictly guarded in the future, and it is absolutely impossible for me to treat them like real people. .”

Xie Jingan was able to achieve this step, Lin Yan was already overjoyed, and said gratefully: "Your Highness is willing to rescue, the general is already very grateful, so naturally he won't push forward to embarrass His Highness."

Xie Jingan nodded, but felt his head hurt more, subconsciously rubbed it with his hands, suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Speaking of saving the Liu family, this king reminded me of something, this king should have been saving the Liu family. I told you when you were there, but you were unconscious at that time, and later it was troublesome, so this king forgot about it."

Xie Jingan paused for a moment when he said this, and then his voice calmed down. In fact, he said with a little anxiety in his heart: "It was not my original intention that I saved you at the beginning, but I received a letter from the crown prince after my vassal fiefdom, and asked me to find a way to save you. Taking care of you, this king decided to go north to Tanzhou to rescue you."
