It's just that Cui Tong is only a child after all, and the punishment was too heavy, Xie Jingan couldn't bear it, so he thought about it for a while, and said: "Forget it, you also had no intentions, and it was your first offense, so I don't want to punish you harshly. Punish you for three days and copy Buddhist scriptures for this king, which will not only improve your memory, but also sharpen your temper."

Cui Tong didn't expect that Xie Jingan would really punish him, his eyes turned red in a slight start, his face hesitated to speak, but he didn't say anything, he only responded in a low voice, and retreated aggrieved.

Cui Tong's punishment spread throughout the palace in just a few moments, so even Liu Zhubo knew about it. After entering the study to salute, he did not directly speak to the business, but pleaded for Cui Tong: "My minister heard that Cui Xiaoguan offended His Highness today, and was punished by His Highness. Although Cui Xiaoguan violated His Highness’s taboo of arrogance, but after all, he is too young. His Highness just reprimanded him. For the sake of his diligence in the past, let him be spared."

"Okay, Mr. Liu," Xie Jingan scolded with a smile, "You usually take care of the affairs of this king, but now you even take care of the affairs of the palace."

Mr. Liu's face turned slightly pale when Xie Jingan said a few words. Xie Jingan saw that he was frightened, so he changed the subject and said: "It's not that this king is harsh, but that he really should restrain him a little bit. , but the rules that should be observed must also be observed. If there are no rules, there will be no circle. If you rely on the favor of the king, anyone can enter the study of the king in a hurry like him, so what majesty does the king have? Word?"

"This..." Master Liu was taken aback by Xie Jingan's words, and then said: "This humble minister is being reckless. As a feudal lord, His Highness should be so."

Seeing that he had no intention of persuading him, Xie Jing'an relaxed his tone and asked him to take a seat next to him, and asked: "Master Liu came so early to beg to see the king, but also because of the assassin's overnight entry into the palace yesterday?"

Mr. Liu sat on the chair, nodded and said: "For such a big matter, as the master of the palace, I naturally want to come and see His Highness, and then ask if there is any clue about the assassin?"

Xie Jing'an said: "Yesterday, General Lin caught a victim, but the victim was very stubborn. General Lin interrogated him all night, but he didn't ask anything. It's just that I have a guess about the person behind the scenes."

"Does Your Highness guess that it's the city guard of Mozhou?" Master Liu asked.

Since he can think of it, Liu Zhu Bo can also think of it, Xie Jingan was not surprised, and said with a smile: "It seems that the suspicion of the Mozhou city guard is very deep, and Liu Zhu Bo Tonglin has gone with this king, but now Discussing this matter, I have one thing that I want to show Master Liu first."

Saying that Xie Jingan handed him the account book that he received last night, Mr. Liu didn't expect such a thing. He showed surprise on his face, and he couldn't wait to take it. After flipping through a few pages, Mr. Liu said Shocked, he said with some excitement: "This thing... where did His Highness come from? With this thing, together with the evidence collected by General Lin, it is enough to bring the Liu family to justice. The account books are deeply involved, and His Highness may not be able to catch it alone, so what is His Highness planning?"

When it came to business, Xie Jingan's expression also became serious, he pondered for a moment, and said: "This account book involves a lot, in addition to some officials in Mozhou, there are also the ministers of the court and the central government. This king is jealous and wants to catch all these animals. It’s just that this king also has self-knowledge, and with his strength alone, I’m afraid he may not be the opponent of these people, and besides…”

Xie Jing'an smiled slightly, "The most important thing for this king to do now is to keep a low profile and develop the fief well. The Liu family and the officials on this king's fief are all that matters. As a vassal king, I just deal with it. As for the rest, I will Wang Wanwan dare not get involved, so I should leave this difficult problem to my father."

Seeing that Xie Jingan was so clear-headed and not lost his mind by the horrific case, he couldn't help but feel relieved, looked at Xie Jingan with admiration and said, "It's the blessing of the palace and the people of the fiefdom that His Highness can think like this, it's just that This account book is too hot to touch, how should His Highness hand it over to the Emperor, and, His Highness still hasn't told Wei Chen, where did this account book come from?"

Xie Jing'an roughly recounted Miss Yang's story to Liu Zhubo. After hearing this, Liu Zhubo was moved, and sighed: "This Miss Yang is a strange woman. If she hadn't been kidnapped by Huazi when she was young, so that With such a rough life experience, when I grow up, I don't know how magnificent it will be."

Liu Zhubo sighed unceasingly, Xie Jingan was also very sympathetic, shaking his head and said: "The account book must be given away, but in the Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, I always have to disturb their sight in order to send things out, but now the official way is called Daxuefeng Stop, it’s still too much to send a letter, let alone the account books, let’s wait until the snow melts in spring and then make a long-term plan. There is also the matter of Miss Yang’s search for relatives, but this king has agreed to find relatives for her. This king has always spoken Keep your word, and it won't be too late to solve it together by then."

Liu Zhubo also felt that this is not a good time, and said: "What your highness said is that the snow is thick and hard to do, and we have to wait for the snow on the official road to melt before we can plan. It's just that this account book was in Mozhou for one day, and last night's Things may happen again, Your Highness must be more careful, and must not fall into the ways of those villains."

Xie Jing'an nodded and said: "Don't worry, Master Liu. The palace has the guards that I brought from Chang'an, who are extremely loyal, and there are experts like General Lin. They will definitely be safe. Besides, these threats are only temporary. It blocked the way that the king wanted to go out, but it also blocked the way for other people to ask for help. As long as these people in Mozhou are taken care of, this account book and Miss Yang will be safe."

Xie Jingan had thought of almost every aspect, and Liu Zhubo didn't have anything to say. He was about to resign, but was stopped by Xie Jingan, and he went straight to the desk. I glanced at the two big characters recruiting soldiers.

……

Yang Qingyin hadn't had a good night's sleep for many years. Xu was relieved to be out of the clutches of the clutches and hand over the account books, but she fell into a deep sleep until near noon before waking up leisurely.

A servant from the palace waited for her to wash and wash. She sat in front of the mirror and looked at her blurred face in the makeup mirror. When I was wondering if I should pinch myself to confirm if I was dreaming, I saw a pretty girl entering the Nuan Pavilion, blessed her body and saluted, and then smiled and said: "Miss Yang got up, did you sleep well last night? The servant girl came to ask Miss Yang, it's time for lunch, do you want to eat with her?"

Hearing the word lunch, Yang Qingyin couldn't help but blush a little, but still said generously: "Then thank you girl, I've finished my makeup, and I'm here."

Yang Qingyin followed the servants and walked towards the inner hall, and saw a very beautiful girl sitting on the chair above, with almond eyes and peach cheeks, and a gentle temperament, it was obvious that they were from everyone.

Yang Qingyin boasted that she was beautiful, but she couldn't help feeling ashamed of herself, and was about to go down to salute, when she was supported by Lin Wan, and said with a smile: "What is Miss Yang doing, you and I are of the same generation, and there is no There is no distinction between high and low status, and it’s enough to call each other’s names when we meet on weekdays. Why do you need to salute? Sit down quickly with me. The girl just said it, I will ask the dining room to make some more."

"How good is that?" Yang Qingyin shook her head flattered and said, "I'm not picky, I can eat both salty and light, my sister doesn't have to work hard, I can eat anything."

"That can't be done." Lin Wan took Yang Qingyin's hand and sat down on the chair, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, let me take care of you well. If you can't make you behave properly, Your Highness will blame me." .”

Yang Qingyin was startled and was about to speak, but Lin Wan said first: "Don't be nervous, His Highness is gentle, and he treats everyone like this. Since you are allowed to live in the palace, you can just live there with peace of mind. You are just a member of the palace. Duo, don't move around, if you feel bored, read a short story book, or do needlework, and I will talk to you when I come back from the workshop."

"Workshop?" Yang Qingyin asked puzzled, "Aren't there men in the workshop? Isn't sister going to find someone?"

"No," Lin Wan shook her head and smiled: "There are no men in the workshop I went to, only women. You are in Mozhou, so you must have heard that His Highness has built many workshops, and I went to one of them. But this workshop is different from others, it does not make those perfumes and soaps, but only makes cotton clothes and gloves, because it is all needlework, so it is all women, and there are no men."

"It's all women's workshops?" Yang Qingyin's eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't believe it: "How can there be a women's workshop? Is it possible that women can still work like men, go to work every day, and get paid? go home?"

Lin Wan was no different from Yang Qingyin when she first heard the news, so seeing Yang Qingyin's appearance, she didn't make fun of her, but patted her hand comfortingly, and said, "Yes, if I hadn't experienced it myself, I'm afraid I don't believe it either, but this workshop is indeed as you imagined. You work at the right time every day, and you work casually at the next hour. You take care of two meals a day, and you get paid for the finished products. As long as you know how to do needlework, you will not be lazy every day Work harder, and it's not in vain to pay more than men's wages."

"This... this is really unbelievable," Yang Qingyin was excited for a while, then suddenly remembered something, tightly grasping Lin Wan's hand and said anxiously: "Then sister...can you take me to see it? For the past ten years, I have been living in the back house. I have never been to the street, and I have never seen what a workshop full of women looks like. Can my sister take me to have a look? Don’t worry, sister, I know etiquette very well, I won’t Make trouble for my sister."

Lin Wan was a little embarrassed when she heard the words, hesitated for a while, but still refused, and said: "I want to take my sister, but only last night, an assassin broke into the palace to kill you, if I rashly take you out of the palace, wouldn't it be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?" I'm afraid that even if I agree, His Highness won't agree, my sister should rest in the mansion, I'll come back as soon as possible to talk with my sister, okay?"

Lin Wan was afraid that Yang Qingyin would be unhappy, so she added another sentence, saying: "I brought back the doll made in the workshop for my younger sister. The doll is extremely cute and soft to the touch. Your Highness even sent it to the palace for Princess Kang An to make." What about the ceremony?"

Yang Qingyin was a little disappointed, but she didn't know that she could be self-willed, and she felt that it was good to be able to escape from the hellish life in the past, so she smiled and said: "Don't worry, sister, I know the seriousness, sister just feel free to go to the workshop that is."

Lin Wan took a closer look at her and saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so she was relieved and told her some interesting things she heard before.

Yang Qingyin couldn't stop laughing at being teased by Lin Wan. She even felt in her heart that even if she couldn't find her family, this kind of life would be fine. Find a small house and work in a workshop. Get married and have children, and you can support yourself.

The most important thing is that he heard that King Shun is a benevolent and virtuous king, who has done a lot of good things for the benefit of the people since he took control of Mozhou. She also saw her last night, and she is indeed a gentle prince. With him here, wouldn't she have to be afraid that Xiaoxiao would bully her, and she could live with peace of mind?

After escaping from that kind of hell, she didn't want to go back, and she didn't want to remarry and have children, as long as she could have something to eat and let her live cleanly.
